Speaker 1: Yeah, we had we had were the second time we
Speaker 1: were on the play. The other time Jordan caught it
Speaker 1: and ran the ball kind of bounced down to like
Speaker 1: the five, and then we scored the next player on
Speaker 1: a sweep after that. So it was it was just
Speaker 1: the same same play call. We had called it once
Speaker 1: and we're successful on it, and I felt like if
Speaker 1: we got over midfield that I was gonna call it again.
Speaker 1: Arguing for Jordan, Matthews has had so many jobs this year.
Speaker 1: He's been really hard on him fu himself, especially after
Speaker 1: that Carol M. I'm extremely happy for I'm like, I'm
Speaker 1: happy for everybody though. I think it was a team
Speaker 1: victory and um, I got a full confidence in Jordan.
Speaker 1: So you know the great part about Jordan's he don't
Speaker 1: pay attention to it either, just like we talk about
Speaker 1: and he's been great. You know. I think if you
Speaker 1: have a work ethic like he has, your work ethic
Speaker 1: will help you get out of a slump. And he
Speaker 1: did a great job. What do you think anybody offensive line? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I thought they did a good job. Obviously,
Speaker 1: when you're down, Jason and we had to shuffle some
Speaker 1: guys over Lane's first time playing on the left side. Um,
Speaker 1: you know Dennis Kelly and the first time to start
Speaker 1: for US since we've been here. Um out at tackle.
Speaker 1: You know, he had started for US at guard last year.
Speaker 1: But I thought those guys did a really nice job
Speaker 1: against a formidable front. We knew that going in that
Speaker 1: was gonna be a heck of the match up for US.
Speaker 1: You seem like a real up and down game, a
Speaker 1: lot of consistencies. Yeah, good football team. Um, we knew
Speaker 1: going in it was going to be a battle. You know.
Speaker 1: It was one of those deals where I don't think
Speaker 1: you could compare for prepare for everything. Um, playing at Dome,
Speaker 1: we had a win. It rained on us. Uh, some
Speaker 1: things that you didn't think would happen when you played
Speaker 1: the Dome. But you know, Caleb that it was a
Speaker 1: little bit more difficult kicking that way. So that that
Speaker 1: kick he kicked for us, the fifty two or fifty
Speaker 1: three yard or into a little bit of a breeze,
Speaker 1: there was a win down there a little bit. So Um.
Speaker 1: You know, then you see it at the end of
Speaker 1: the end of the game. Um, they go out for
Speaker 1: a field goal, it hits the upright. Usually when it
Speaker 1: hits the upright, it doesn't go in. You know, it
Speaker 1: hit the upright, came down in. Um. So it was
Speaker 1: just kind of one of those games. But um, our
Speaker 1: guys battle. They battled right to the to the last
Speaker 1: and uh, proud of them. I think they had a
Speaker 1: great week. We talked about it. They had a really
Speaker 1: good week this week, as good as we've had around here. Uh.
Speaker 1: And it showed in our play tonight that obviously last
Speaker 1: week was a little bit better than the week before.
Speaker 1: I think Sam is continuing to improve. Um. I thought
Speaker 1: he was really accurate in his throws today. UM you know,
Speaker 1: put the ball on guys in the right spot. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at the play with Jordan. It was a
Speaker 1: heck of a throw. He threw it before the guy
Speaker 1: fell down and then but it gave Jordan an opportunity
Speaker 1: to catch and run. You know, sometimes those throws if
Speaker 1: they're not accurate and it's a tough route to kind
Speaker 1: of time up. You know, you may catch it and
Speaker 1: you know kind of turn around and you get a
Speaker 1: you got a good game, but you don't have a
Speaker 1: chance to have a great game. And what you know,
Speaker 1: so he gave Jordan an opportunity to run and get
Speaker 1: it in. So it's like we light on Sam Bore.
Speaker 1: The longer the game, when you gaining more and more confidence,
Speaker 1: I've always had confidence in Sam. I just like it's
Speaker 1: how the game played out. I thought we were pretty
Speaker 1: balanced in terms of being able to run the ball
Speaker 1: um and then once we kind of got moving, we
Speaker 1: had a lot of long drivees. There were a lot
Speaker 1: of long fields for us. We didn't start. I don't
Speaker 1: think we had any, you know, obviously, because they're so
Speaker 1: good in the return. I mean in the kick game,
Speaker 1: we didn't have any kick returns. We didn't have any
Speaker 1: punt return so there's there wasn't a real flip in
Speaker 1: the field. And then the one turnover we had that
Speaker 1: we created, thank god, Jordan Hicks had actually brought it
Speaker 1: all the way back for our score. So it wasn't
Speaker 1: like we got to turn over and had a short
Speaker 1: field or we had um, you know, a return that
Speaker 1: gave us a short field. We had long fields to
Speaker 1: go um. So on all of our drives, we we
Speaker 1: had to kind of pound it out, and I think
Speaker 1: we were pretty balanced in terms of doing that. So
Speaker 1: the first time again, I think we just executed and
Speaker 1: blocked up front. You know, I thought, I'll give our
Speaker 1: guys up front that did a heck of a job
Speaker 1: and um, now that was the challenge for him going in.
Speaker 1: I thought they handled their their defensive front for the
Speaker 1: most part. You know, it's a very formidable front. They
Speaker 1: actually had some new guys that we didn't face the
Speaker 1: last time. I face you know, Hardy for the first time,
Speaker 1: greg Uh Gregory for the first time. Um. But it
Speaker 1: was you know, I really proud about how those guys played,
Speaker 1: especially with you know, Lane bumping over and Dennis getting
Speaker 1: his first started right tackle. So on the fourth down there,
Speaker 1: did you think about not doing that a refunding the
Speaker 1: report all the way? No, I mean I thought we
Speaker 1: were gonna get it, so we were gonna go for it.
Speaker 1: On the final Cowboys drive, What did you think of
Speaker 1: that pass interference call? They made it? That's what I thought, Well,
Speaker 1: what was range? He was kind of right on his
Speaker 1: edge that way because there was a wind coming um
Speaker 1: that way. He probably had a little bit more going
Speaker 1: the other way, but he was really right on edge
Speaker 1: of what we could kick. We're stuck with him. After
Speaker 1: early struggles, team talk about all he's the only kicker
Speaker 1: we have so it wasn't like I was gonna bring
Speaker 1: another kicker in. So for a team that has struggled
Speaker 1: before the byether win like this after the bye, going
Speaker 1: down the stretch here, what can a win like this
Speaker 1: do for this team? It's it's the same thing I
Speaker 1: told him, the same thing I told him after Carolina game.
Speaker 1: One down, one to go, and the same thing, the
Speaker 1: same message in there. One down, one to go, we're
Speaker 1: gonna get back. We're gonna get back late. They have
Speaker 1: tomorrow off when we come back Tuesday, and we got
Speaker 1: to really start a good week of preparation for Miami.
Speaker 1: We actually, um, someone told I don't know if it's true.
Speaker 1: We're gonna actually check where we actually were. We may
Speaker 1: be able. We may have a game at one o'clock
Speaker 1: on a Sunday. So um, our guys are kind of
Speaker 1: excited about that. But you carry over into it, it
Speaker 1: means absolutely nothing because you lose next week and it
Speaker 1: didn't carry over, So we don't talk about that, like, hey,
Speaker 1: we had a good game last week, let's just ride
Speaker 1: the way. We got to come back, go to work
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. So there's something about Sam you can only
Speaker 1: learn and anything those those late game situations over time situations. No.
Speaker 1: I mean I know Sam, and I got total confidence Sam.
Speaker 1: I've always had total confidence in Sam. So I didn't
Speaker 1: learn anything new today about saying there was always something
Speaker 1: about Murray in the passing game that he felt that
Speaker 1: take advantage of. We just some of the matchups with
Speaker 1: the linebackers, and after Sean Lee went out, you know,
Speaker 1: we thought we could exploit that and that's what we did.
Speaker 1: Did you see this as kind of game A man,
Speaker 1: I don't really concern. We're just trying to get wins
Speaker 1: each week and then we'll figure out. We'll pick our
Speaker 1: heads up and after that last game against the Giants
Speaker 1: to see if we're going enough games. But I've never
Speaker 1: had a conversation with our guys about East NFC out
Speaker 1: of division. I mean, if that's the case, then we
Speaker 1: shouldn't even show up this week because it's an AFC opponent.
Speaker 1: So we don't care, right, I mean, that's not our mentality.
Speaker 1: Our mentality is every single week we got to go
Speaker 1: out and play and at the end, do we have
Speaker 1: enough wins that are good enough to get us into
Speaker 1: the playoffs, And if it is, it's okay. But we
Speaker 1: never talk about who the opponent is and how this
Speaker 1: game is more important than that game. Every single game
Speaker 1: is important when it comes down to it. First, Apple,
Speaker 1: what's the thinking in terms to the block management they're
Speaker 1: trying to get out of their end. I know they
Speaker 1: had a couple of time out, so if we didn't
Speaker 1: get a first down there early, you know, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, we're gonna turn the ball over and they
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to go down to score. And then
Speaker 1: they're getting the ball at the beginning of the second
Speaker 1: half too, so you've got you're in that two score situation.
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we could at least get
Speaker 1: it out of our end, not be able to give
Speaker 1: it back over to them, because they do have a
Speaker 1: kicker that that's you know, got ranged close to sixty
Speaker 1: so um, you know anything in terms of turning the
Speaker 1: ball over, they just didn't want to make a mistake.
Speaker 1: We're content to go in a half time at seven seven.
Speaker 1: I have no idea less. I want balanced, you guys,
Speaker 1: there's most balance we work tonight. So that's
