1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: After noon, good evening, but again, sit here before you guys, 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:09,160 Speaker 1: just disappointed. You know, the penalties in the first half, 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,000 Speaker 1: just too many. It's the same story over and over 4 00:00:12,039 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: again that four turnovers, three or four turnovers in the game. 5 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: Can't win if you lose that battle. Defensively, I would say, 6 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,560 Speaker 1: just the fundamentals of just tackling our run. 7 00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,799 Speaker 2: Fits have to improve. They have to improve. And I 8 00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,400 Speaker 2: told all those guys, I said, you should feel like 9 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 2: crap today. You should feel like crap. You take away 10 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 2: those two long runs. We had two runs over fifty yards, 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 2: and so I mean, it's just not winning football offensively. 12 00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,559 Speaker 2: I thought they did some things that were encouraging. Obviously 13 00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 2: still not enough the turnovers. One was on a tip ball, 14 00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: but that's the way the league is. I thought Drake 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,919 Speaker 2: made some good decisions out there. I thought he had 16 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 2: some good reads. I thought he tried to get the 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 2: ball out of his hands. I thought he did a 18 00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:56,120 Speaker 2: good job. 19 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: Extending plays with his legs and picking up first downs. 20 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: Just got to be better. Fire away. 21 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:09,119 Speaker 3: Gerrod on Drake, is that kind of what you hoped 22 00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 3: you would see as far as some of the things 23 00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 3: that he was able to do and kind of do 24 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 3: you have that little bit of okay that forty yard 25 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: dropping the bucket pass to Kashawn that cuts you guys 26 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 3: back into the game to end the half. 27 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:23,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, And look, we fully anticipate or expect him to 28 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: be better going forward. You know, it was his first 29 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 1: start obviously here at home. There was a lot of 30 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: expectations on him. I thought he handled it well, so 31 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: got a build on it. I thought he showed a 32 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: lot of I thought he showed a lot of pois. 33 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:45,479 Speaker 1: I thought he went out there and controlled the huddle, 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: got those guys out of the huddle, and once again 35 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: made some place. And it's definitely encouraging, you know, as 36 00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: you know, from a team White perspective, right now, we're 37 00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: just we're gonna we let him down. It was his 38 00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,280 Speaker 1: first game and I feel like I let him down. 39 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm sure all the coaches feel like we'll let everyone 40 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: down and it's got to be better. 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 4: Throughout the first few games, you've emphasized the passing game 42 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 4: as something that needs to improve. Today, I felt like 43 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 4: we saw the receivers getting a little more involved. Just 44 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 4: what would you say to the passing game today, specifically 45 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 4: as it relates to Drake May. 46 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say first there were some good pockets. 47 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: Let's start with upfront. I thought the offensive line at 48 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: times definitely has some good pockets to allow the quarterback 49 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,839 Speaker 1: to make those throws. But once again, it's a team 50 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: wide sport, and we don't feel very good about anything 51 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: right now, Gerd. 52 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:36,040 Speaker 4: With the offensive line of the left side going down 53 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:38,360 Speaker 4: with Vederian and Michael, how tough is it right now 54 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 4: to keep a cohesive unit together with how far down 55 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 4: the depth chart you guys are at that spot. 56 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 1: It's very tough, and you know, every single week is 57 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: a different combination of players. It's tough to get in. 58 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's tough for those guys to really build 59 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: that camaraderie or that communication. But again, like the backup players, 60 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: they have to prepare like their starters every week. And 61 00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: we'll see how we came out of this, but you know, 62 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,640 Speaker 1: it's definitely definitely an issue. 63 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,360 Speaker 5: For us Dred. 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 4: You mentioned the penalties from a coaching staff standpoint, what 65 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,119 Speaker 4: can you do on your end to get those numbers down? 66 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Look, we talk about it all the time, and and 67 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 1: you know, Saturday night meetings we talk about what crew 68 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 1: is going to be out there. Uh, you know, how 69 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: freak what do they call frequently? And we knew that 70 00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,880 Speaker 1: this crew was going to, you know, a high penalty 71 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: calling crew. I thought the second half kind of cleaned 72 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,399 Speaker 1: it up a little bit, but there's way too many 73 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: penalties in the game. 74 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 6: Jid a couple of questions ago. You said that you, 75 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 6: along with the players and so on, the coaching staff, 76 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 6: let Drake down. Could you be more sport What you 77 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 6: meant by. 78 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: That not really a coaching staff. Look, we're all I mean, 79 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: we feel like crap right now. And I would say, 80 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: just for a rookie quarterback to go out there and 81 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,160 Speaker 1: and do some good things, you know, do some good things. 82 00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: I just felt like, you know, we could have did 83 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: a better job supporting. 84 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,880 Speaker 5: Douglas had ninety two receiving yards, most you guys have 85 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 5: had in more than a year. He seemed to come 86 00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 5: off the field when you go to those two receiver sets. 87 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 5: Do you think he can function in those There's a 88 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 5: way to get him the ball more often? 89 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 7: Yeah? 90 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: Absolutely, you know, Pop, he's one of our best receivers. 91 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: He can get open against anyone, and those are definitely 92 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:17,520 Speaker 1: things we got to consider. 93 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 4: Chris right on the left draft, how do you evaluate 94 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 4: Drake's decision making today in terms of Reeds making sure 95 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 4: that they avoided the rush, et cetera. 96 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: His reads were good all day. I thought his reads 97 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 1: were good. I watched the film obviously, but I thought 98 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 1: he did a good job. 99 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 3: Kean roach Trod, you talked about the defense the first 100 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,039 Speaker 3: two drives of the game where they came right down 101 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: the field, school, right down the field score. How disappointing 102 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 3: was that from your perspective? And I think the one 103 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 3: hundred and ninety two yards on the ground and what 104 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 3: do you do to get going in the right direction there? 105 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: It's very disappointing. And I would say now at this time, 106 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:54,279 Speaker 1: we're kind of up and down as far as starting fast, 107 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: and we have to start fast, whether we're on defense 108 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,839 Speaker 1: or offense, and we just we just didn't do that today. 109 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: I thought they did settle down. But again it goes 110 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,840 Speaker 1: back to every single play being important, and you can 111 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 1: stop them, stop them, stop him, and then all of 112 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: a sudden it's a fifty yard run. Like we can't 113 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: live in that world. 114 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 7: Your final questions, hee Rod over here, you're right in 115 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,120 Speaker 7: terms of play calling for Drake. Did you feel like 116 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:22,040 Speaker 7: on offense you guys did what you could to help 117 00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,279 Speaker 7: him get settled in. Was it sort of how you 118 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 7: planned or scripted or did things evolve differently. 119 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:27,400 Speaker 5: No. 120 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,560 Speaker 1: Absolutely. You know, we talked about the first fift team 121 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: as we always do, and that was to get him 122 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: settled in. And once again, look he's a rookie making 123 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,359 Speaker 1: his first start. Will there be things that didn't go 124 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:38,880 Speaker 1: right for him? 125 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 7: Yeah? 126 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 1: Absolutely, But I thought, uh, I thought the way we 127 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: planned that out was good. 128 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 3: I don't know how many interactions you had with Drake 129 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,320 Speaker 3: during the game, but how did you see him react 130 00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 3: to some of the physical punishment he took throughout? 131 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, he took some big hits and you know, slow 132 00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:56,840 Speaker 1: to get up after a couple of those. But he's 133 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: a tough guy and I was encouraged by that. Thanks. 134 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 5: Yes means awesome.
