1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: You spoke to us about winning the second half, and uh, 2 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,399 Speaker 1: that didn't quite happen, No insured in it. And again 3 00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:12,440 Speaker 1: that's that's you know, it's frustrating. You know, we have to, 4 00:00:14,080 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: you know, understand how sometimes these games are gonna go, 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:20,319 Speaker 1: and you know, we we just didn't do enough in 6 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: the second half. You know, give them credit, and we 7 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,840 Speaker 1: certainly didn't do enough with too many missed our opportunities, 8 00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: too many penalties, you know, things you know, the turnover 9 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:33,839 Speaker 1: and things that just you know, again just didn't take 10 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: advantage of bad football. And then we're able to, you know, 11 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: have bad football ourselves. So you know, we have to 12 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: We're never gonna accept winning. We have to embrace moving 13 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: on and we have to do that quickly and get 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 1: these things fixed and go on the road in a 15 00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: division opponent. 16 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 2: Mike, I guess how surprised were you by that second half? 17 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 2: And and what do you learn from it that you 18 00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:54,800 Speaker 2: can take it to night. 19 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not surprised. I'm not I'm not surprised 20 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: by anything. I'm surprised that you know, I just want 21 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 1: to see you now. We'll see where we're at, We'll 22 00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:03,639 Speaker 1: see what kind of football team we have what kind 23 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: of leaders we have to be able to come back 24 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: in here and get to work. And you know, I 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: think that that'll be the true test. And we always 26 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,280 Speaker 1: talk about culture and everything else, and we'll we'll we'll 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: see where we're at as a culture and as a team, 28 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 1: and if we have guys that want to want to 29 00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 1: work and stick together, it'll be a big challenge to 30 00:01:22,680 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 1: do that. I would you sass Will Campbell's performance in 31 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 1: his NFL debut. You know, I think that that's tough 32 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: right now, Nicole, I apologize. I got to look at 33 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:35,200 Speaker 1: the tape. I just you know, again, there was I'm 34 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:37,720 Speaker 1: sure there's gonna be some good plays, some players we'd 35 00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 1: like to have have back that he would like to 36 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: have back. I think that would go for pretty much everybody. 37 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: And I think that there was some good football, just 38 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: certainly not not consistent enough in all three phases. And 39 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: that's kind of what it looked like for me. And 40 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: I'll try to give you a little better answer after 41 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 1: looking at the. 42 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,920 Speaker 2: Tape, Mike. I know it's hard to match with them, 43 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: given Gente and Bowers, but they seemed to be running 44 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 2: pretty well when you guys went three corner and then 45 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: obviously throwing you a little bit late when they went 46 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: when you went base, and can you just talk about 47 00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 2: the thought process. 48 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: Well, just trying to mix it. They really, you know, 49 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,000 Speaker 1: we didn't think that that the you know, the run 50 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,760 Speaker 1: game had hurt us. And then they you know, we 51 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: they picked us a couple of times, and you know, 52 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: they hit a couple of long ones, and they hit 53 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: some X plays, which we talked about that being a key, 54 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:31,720 Speaker 1: so we'll get back together. And I thought we settled 55 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: down really well defensively. I thought the first drive was 56 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: you know, not our best, and then I thought we 57 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: settled down. I thought they played well. I thought they 58 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: played hard. We just you know, weren't able to make 59 00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: enough there in the end. And again I made a decision, 60 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 1: you know, on fourth and ten with you know, close 61 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: to five minutes to punt and would like a better punt, 62 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: and we had them, had them stopped, and that was 63 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 1: the plan, and that that didn't work, and then they 64 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 1: hit one and you know, we just didn't have enough 65 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: time there at the end to uh to do anything. 66 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: That was the decision you know, that I thought was 67 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: best for us at the time, and that you know, 68 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: it didn't didn't work out. But situationally, we'll have to 69 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: continue to improve. You know, we we moved the ball, 70 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 1: we made the kick, we tried to on side. So 71 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: again it's just you can't you can't get down two 72 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: scores late in the game over here, make after after 73 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,359 Speaker 1: Andy's kicking the first half, the team with nearly two 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,280 Speaker 1: quarters without getting the Scoard scoreboard. Again, do the Raiders 75 00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: do anything different on defense? And you know, I mean 76 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 1: they mixed in some pressure and you know a little 77 00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:40,720 Speaker 1: bit of you know, a little bit of mixed coverage 78 00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: and you know, but again give them credit, and uh, 79 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 1: you know, we'll have to come back and we'll have 80 00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 1: to be better and more balanced and be able to 81 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: run the football without you know, making it first and 82 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: twenty We overcame some of those, but you know, just 83 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: too difficult and you know, but again it's a start, 84 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880 Speaker 1: not the one that we wanted. And we got a 85 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 1: long way to go, and we're going to be resolved 86 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: to get it fixed and the people that are here 87 00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:12,120 Speaker 1: are going to be committed to getting it fixed. Together. Coach, 88 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: you mentioned the x Raiders offense. I was wondering what 89 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: from your perspective led to some of those plays and 90 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: things you can prove moving forward, well, man, just knowing 91 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: you know, understanding the coverage, understanding you know, eyes and 92 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: you know, we'll I think it all goes into the 93 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:28,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes the call and they had a good call for 94 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,600 Speaker 1: what we had on or you know, a guy made 95 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: a play, you know if kind of you know, when 96 00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: you look at X plays in general, it's offensively scheme 97 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,280 Speaker 1: them up about thirty five percent of the time, and 98 00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: about sixty five percent of the time somebody makes a play. 99 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: And so I would say that the same would go defensively. 100 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: You know that sometimes we're not in the best call 101 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 1: and they scheme us up, and then other times somebody 102 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: makes a play. And just like we were able to 103 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: get our hand on a football, they go thirteen personnel 104 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 1: and you know, we pretty adamant that they were going 105 00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: to throw, and they tried to hit eighty nine. We 106 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,760 Speaker 1: tipped it and we made a play. But we just 107 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: have to have more of those and we have to 108 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: create some more turnovers. And Mike, I don't know if 109 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 1: this falls in the same category as Nicole's question, but 110 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 1: how would you assess Drake's performance? Looked like there were 111 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: some struggles under pressure, in this game. Again, without looking 112 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 1: at the tape, I thought there were some some good 113 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 1: positive plays and really good command of what we were doing. Uh. 114 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: And then there were times where you know, maybe we 115 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: or he missed somebody and you know, we'll have to 116 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: see and you know, it's it's it's challenge playing quarterback 117 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,640 Speaker 1: in this league, and we we got to help them out. 118 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 1: We have to be more balanced, we have to use 119 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,920 Speaker 1: our our run actions and being able to run the football. 120 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: It's it's hard to turn it into a drop back 121 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: passing game in this league. I mean that that's just 122 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:54,080 Speaker 1: the facts. And then they're you know what they're up 123 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: to scores and they're in their third down package, and 124 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,000 Speaker 1: that's that. We just don't want to ever live in 125 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,800 Speaker 1: that world. So we all can be better. And whether 126 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,960 Speaker 1: that's that's me and the coaching staff and and Drake 127 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: and Will and everybody that's you asked about, like that's 128 00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,919 Speaker 1: that's the the attitude that we're gonna take. That's the 129 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:14,039 Speaker 1: belief that we're gonna take. And we're disappointed, but we 130 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: can't sit there and uh and and and hold on 131 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: to it too long. We gotta go on the road 132 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 1: and we got to play a division opponent, and we've 133 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,559 Speaker 1: got to embrace moving on and and I think that's 134 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: that's what we're gonna try to do. So thank you.
