1 00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: You know, I didn't since that. 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 2: Obviously, the way the game turned out and some critical 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: errors really all the way around would point to that. 4 00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:12,399 Speaker 2: I mean, I felt like we were ready to play. 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 2: I thought we had a good week. You know, obviously 6 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,720 Speaker 2: everyone deals with the travel over here Chicago had to 7 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 2: do it earlier in the week too, So I thought, 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,280 Speaker 2: even considering that, you know, we had a good plan, 9 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 2: good week, I felt like we were ready to go. 10 00:00:28,240 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 2: And then obviously it didn't go our way. Didn't make 11 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: enough plays, didn't execute, and had just too many mistakes. 12 00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:37,720 Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, I guess I can't say 13 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 2: that it wasn't that, cause I think that definitely can 14 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 2: contribute to that. So yeah, I know he bounced back 15 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 2: with some scores later in the game, but how he 16 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 2: was in a momentum killer. I guess maybe Gates dropped 17 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: touchdown on the first drive after giving. 18 00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,160 Speaker 1: The three and out defensively and then marching all the 19 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:56,880 Speaker 1: way down the field. 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's it's football that happens. You know, 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 2: I missed a couple of throws the night too, so 22 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 2: it's it's gonna happen. 23 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 1: Obviously. 24 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:09,200 Speaker 2: You want you want those guys catch every ball and 25 00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: that'd be great, and they want to catch every ball, 26 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 2: but that's just not this game, and you're gonna make 27 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,559 Speaker 2: mistakes and stuff's gonna happen and we end up getting 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: a field goal and it's three nothing us. So I mean, yeah, 29 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:20,759 Speaker 2: we'd love to score, but it's a long game. 30 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: You know. 31 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 2: I think as a team, like we have to be 32 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,119 Speaker 2: we can't be so fragile. You know, it's like it's 33 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 2: not gonna go perfect every week. You know, most weeks 34 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 2: aren't gonna go perfect. You're gonna have to sometimes dig 35 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: yourself out of a hole. 36 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:33,399 Speaker 1: You know. 37 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 2: We got down in the second quarter and had an 38 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 2: opportunity to come out at halftime and didn't take advantage 39 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 2: of it. So no, I don't think that that was 40 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you look back, every play matters, and 41 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: we had plenty of mistakes, but no, I don't think 42 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: that that was a huge momentum shift. Obviously you'd love 43 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: to make it, but no, it's it's on all of us. 44 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 1: Is there any way back from one to five? That 45 00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:56,840 Speaker 1: for the head coach? 46 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, we got love more games, so uh, there's definitely 47 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: a way back. You know, we gotta you know, me 48 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,440 Speaker 2: pumping us up isn't gonna do anything up here, so 49 00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 2: we got to take care of business on our end. 50 00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,560 Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a it's a long season and we 51 00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:12,519 Speaker 2: have a lot of football left. 52 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: Am I still playing for Doug teams? Still playing for you? 53 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our head coach, and you know, we're we're 54 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 2: a team and look, this is this is tough. Losing 55 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:27,960 Speaker 2: is hard and it's hard, so but it has nothing 56 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 2: to do with that relationship. How we feel about coach, 57 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: and we're we're a group. We're staying together and we 58 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: know brighter days our heead. We just have to keep working. 59 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 2: We have to keep putting our best foot forward and 60 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: you know, we just got to stick together as a team. 61 00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,639 Speaker 2: We gotta play more complimentary. We're not playing good team 62 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 2: football right now. So whatever the answer to that is, 63 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:49,720 Speaker 2: we gotta find it quick. But yeah, there's no no 64 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:50,640 Speaker 2: thought of that on my mind. 65 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:54,839 Speaker 1: What gives you confidence going into next week's too? Gives 66 00:02:54,880 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 1: me confidence. I just I know, you know we can 67 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,880 Speaker 1: do as a team. I've seen it. We have. We 68 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: have some really good players, with a lot of playmakers. 69 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: We've had a speaking offensively because obviously that's my side 70 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 2: of the ball, you know, we've We've done it before. 71 00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 2: I've seen this pull ourselves out of holes bigger than this. 72 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's challenging, but you can't look at 73 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: it as all this stuff that we have to do. 74 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,360 Speaker 2: We just have to take it one day at a time, 75 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,959 Speaker 2: one week at a time. That's what we said before 76 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 2: the Coltskan's Alway said before this game too, and it 77 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 2: didn't go our way. But that doesn't mean you jump 78 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,400 Speaker 2: ship and you quit and it's one game. I mean 79 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 2: it's a long season and I've been through a lot 80 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 2: in my career. I've lost a lot of games and 81 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:39,760 Speaker 2: we got we got to change that around here, and 82 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,600 Speaker 2: we gotta. But we have to be the ones to 83 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 2: do it. You know, we have to take accountability. We 84 00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:46,680 Speaker 2: have to go play well and find a way to win. 85 00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,360 Speaker 2: It's not gonna go perfect, but just find a way 86 00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,160 Speaker 2: to win in the end and put yourself in position too. 87 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 2: That's what sucks is today we didn't have a chance 88 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 2: to because we made too many mistakes. So, you know, 89 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,360 Speaker 2: those games always definitely suck. 90 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: Off. 91 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 2: Until lost tonight, I thought we actually did a lot 92 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: of things well. I thought we were better on third down. 93 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: You know, we weren't able to run the ball as 94 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 2: good as we wanted to based on a lot of 95 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: different things. 96 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 1: A lot of factors go into that. 97 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: I think the way the game went and us having 98 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: to become kind of pass heavy towards the end to 99 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: try and score quick, that's a big part of it. 100 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: But I thought we did some really nice saints, like 101 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 2: I said, better on third down. Thought we had a 102 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 2: good plan for this defense. It's a good defense, and 103 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,600 Speaker 2: like I said, it was just the mistakes that kind 104 00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: of started to accumulate, you know, whether it was turnovers 105 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 2: or it was just assignments, you know, little things here 106 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: and there. From there's enough blame to go around for everybody. 107 00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: You know, it's including myself, so there's there's plenty of 108 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,800 Speaker 2: that there. But it just seemed like it seemed like 109 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 2: our plan and our plays were there, and we made 110 00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:47,280 Speaker 2: a lot of them, but then we made some. 111 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: Crucial errors too. 112 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,080 Speaker 2: You know, it felt like when we got some big plays, 113 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: we would have some penalties or we'd turn it over, 114 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,200 Speaker 2: and then we didn't play complimentary. When the defense got 115 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 2: a stop, we didn't score. When we got a big 116 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 2: kick return, we didn't score, We turn it over. They 117 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,039 Speaker 2: went and scored. And that's the quickest way to lose 118 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: in this league is to not take advantage of your 119 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 2: opportunities when you get that momentum. It felt like we 120 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 2: didn't take advantage of it today. How pleased with you 121 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: would be bounce it back to the very next series 122 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 2: with two very crucial catches in that next drive. I mean, 123 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: I'm not surprised at all. Evan's a guy I got 124 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 2: a lot of trust in. Obviously it's good to have 125 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:23,800 Speaker 2: him back. He made some big plays today and like 126 00:05:23,839 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 2: I said, it's we can't be That's what I'm talking about, 127 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: fragile as a team, like we can't Yeah, he had 128 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 2: he had a fumble. He knows that, he knows that. 129 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: You know, that stuff shouldn't happen and that can affect 130 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,440 Speaker 2: the game. But it's one play, so you have to 131 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,559 Speaker 2: bounce back as an individual, but also the team around 132 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 2: you has to pick you up. And you know, offensively, 133 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,120 Speaker 2: we got to go make more plays next time we 134 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:45,440 Speaker 2: get the ball. 135 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: Defensively, we got to get a stop. 136 00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:48,080 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's on all of us, so there's 137 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 2: gonna be mistakes and you know, we had two turnovers 138 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 2: today which didn't help us. It's harder to win that way, 139 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 2: but you got to be able to overcome stuff too. 140 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 2: You can't just say, all right, we don't want to 141 00:05:57,960 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: turn the ball over. So what happens when you do. 142 00:05:59,480 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: Turn it over? 143 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 2: You just stop playing? So, you know, I think that 144 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:05,479 Speaker 2: that's a big part of it is. You know, he's 145 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:09,039 Speaker 2: a very resilient guy, so I wasn't surprised to see 146 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: how he bounced back. I know he's he's beating himself up, 147 00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 2: but it's not it's not on him. I mean, it's 148 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:15,880 Speaker 2: one play in a long game, and you got to 149 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 2: be able to overcome some stuff. 150 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,920 Speaker 1: About yourself and the tape after a defeat. 151 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: By that, Yeah, I think how we respond is the 152 00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,960 Speaker 2: biggest thing. And you know, good thing is we play 153 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 2: next week, get another opportunity. We're staying here, We're not 154 00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 2: going anywhere, So you guys get us for another week. 155 00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 2: But yeah, you'll learn a lot of just the way 156 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 2: we respond and we have to stick together. And obviously 157 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 2: you want to watch the tape and take all the 158 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: accountability and really figure out what you can do better 159 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: as an individual, as an offense. Just take it for 160 00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,000 Speaker 2: what it is and then move on, you know, by 161 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,039 Speaker 2: the time Wednesday Tuesday Wednesday comes around, we have to 162 00:06:57,080 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 2: be moved on to getting ready for New England because 163 00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 2: it's an game. This league, it doesn't slow up. You 164 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: play a good team every week. So whatever we can 165 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: do to get our get our minds, our bodies all 166 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 2: ready to go and play well on Sunday, that's the 167 00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 2: biggest thing, and that's all we can do and just 168 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 2: take it one game at time. Following up with what 169 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 2: you said earlier, does it feel like this team right 170 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,600 Speaker 2: now has to play close to perfect in order to 171 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: have success. 172 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,440 Speaker 1: You can't make a mistake because. 173 00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 2: It kind of snowballs from there. 174 00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 1: It does feel like it'd be perfect. It's aod question. 175 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that you can't play that 176 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 2: way because you're never going to be perfect. 177 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: Did it feel that way today? 178 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: Yes, because we it did snowball, So I think that 179 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:43,000 Speaker 2: that Unfortunately it happened today and we let those mistakes kind 180 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 2: of accumulate and just pile on. But you're never gonna 181 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:49,160 Speaker 2: play perfect. So if you're waiting to play perfect, you're 182 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:50,760 Speaker 2: not gonna win a lot of games. So I think 183 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:54,080 Speaker 2: as a team we do have to be better at 184 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,600 Speaker 2: overcoming adversity and when things don't go well, you know 185 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 2: there you want to start fast, and I thought we 186 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 2: started pretty good today. 187 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: You know, we got three points. Obviously we'd have a 188 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: get touchdown. 189 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: We've got three points started off, we got a stop 190 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: before that, so and that's been kind of our problem 191 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 2: in the past, was not starting. So we did that 192 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,600 Speaker 2: today and then we still had some of these mistakes 193 00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 2: creep in. So whatever it takes, just to play full 194 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: sixty minutes as clean as you can, and if you 195 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 2: do make a mistake, just go make the next play 196 00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 2: and you don't have to you don't have to do 197 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,280 Speaker 2: more than your job. I think that's a big part 198 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: of it, and that's I'm talking to myself too, and 199 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,800 Speaker 2: as a quarterback, sometimes when one play doesn't go right, 200 00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:31,080 Speaker 2: the next play I've had and it's having a ton 201 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,120 Speaker 2: of my career where I try to make make the 202 00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: play the next time and make it worse because I'm 203 00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 2: trying to do too much and I'm not just doing 204 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 2: my job. So I think that that's a big part 205 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 2: of it too, that we have to do as a 206 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: team and just control that aspect of it. Thank y'all, 207 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
