15
00:01:04,279 --> 00:01:06,839
Speaker 5: and and what happened in coming back, but also just

16
00:01:07,239 --> 00:01:09,238
Speaker 5: how disappointing after what you guys were able to do

17
00:01:09,279 --> 00:01:12,359
Speaker 5: in Buffalo was this effort today from you guys?

18
00:01:12,839 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, just gotta gome my bell wrong in first drive.

19
00:01:15,519 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 6: I don't know, and you've ever played got hit, but

20
00:01:17,999 --> 00:01:20,359
Speaker 6: you sometimes you get your bell wrong and we gotta

21
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:22,439
Speaker 6: shake back. So I think I guess the spoder call

22
00:01:22,559 --> 00:01:24,599
Speaker 6: down again and I pass some tests, but I feel

23
00:01:24,598 --> 00:01:26,919
Speaker 6: good still feel good and for I was good to go.

24
00:01:27,359 --> 00:01:29,919
Speaker 6: And then just the game, I think, yeah, I thinks

25
00:01:29,919 --> 00:01:32,318
Speaker 6: we're I think kind of felt like a little bit Arizona.

26
00:01:32,359 --> 00:01:35,839
Speaker 6: We really couldn't get in the rhythm offensively, and obviously

27
00:01:35,879 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 6: the pitch was unfortunate, just you know, had blits off

28
00:01:39,039 --> 00:01:41,719
Speaker 6: the edge that just happened to be a good call

29
00:01:41,759 --> 00:01:43,639
Speaker 6: on their part. And then just felt like, you know,

30
00:01:43,679 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 6: all day we're nothing they were doing. We just you

31
00:01:46,078 --> 00:01:48,519
Speaker 6: gotta play clean football and we gotta help, you know,

32
00:01:48,519 --> 00:01:50,199
Speaker 6: our defense out and when they're moving the ball, we'll

33
00:01:50,279 --> 00:01:50,879
Speaker 6: stay on the field.

34
00:01:50,919 --> 00:01:54,879
Speaker 3: You know, Tom possession was you know, pretty pretty one sided.

35
00:01:56,839 --> 00:02:01,079
Speaker 7: Drake, you were passionate defend defending Gerard and and Alex.

36
00:02:01,119 --> 00:02:04,319
Speaker 7: When you were asked recently, can you just explain what

37
00:02:04,599 --> 00:02:07,199
Speaker 7: in your view they're doing well that that gives you

38
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,199
Speaker 7: hope and promise for the future.

39
00:02:09,519 --> 00:02:12,479
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think I think they're still bringing it every week.

40
00:02:12,478 --> 00:02:13,599
Speaker 6: I think that's the biggest thing to say. You know,

41
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,918
Speaker 6: they're not quitting. There's still coaching coaching as hard. Since

42
00:02:17,999 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 6: week one, they're still you know, studying film is hard.

43
00:02:19,999 --> 00:02:21,958
Speaker 6: Still meeting you, we're still meeting as hard. So I

44
00:02:21,999 --> 00:02:23,559
Speaker 6: think the biggest thing was this, You don't see those

45
00:02:23,559 --> 00:02:26,119
Speaker 6: guys quitting and I think you know the score main

46
00:02:26,159 --> 00:02:27,599
Speaker 6: and that's how today. But I feel like these guys,

47
00:02:27,679 --> 00:02:29,159
Speaker 6: you know, these guys are are still one to win.

48
00:02:29,199 --> 00:02:31,199
Speaker 6: We're still leaving all out there every week, and I

49
00:02:31,199 --> 00:02:33,839
Speaker 6: think that was kind of you know, my uh my

50
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:35,319
Speaker 6: message to the team is give it all you got

51
00:02:35,399 --> 00:02:38,399
Speaker 6: and our last two games and this one today, so

52
00:02:38,679 --> 00:02:40,198
Speaker 6: we got one more chance next week and just just

53
00:02:40,279 --> 00:02:41,038
Speaker 6: leave it all out there.

54
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:46,599
Speaker 8: Coach was asked about you staying in the game late,

55
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 8: and you said, again, we're trying to develop a quarterback.

56
00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:51,439
Speaker 8: He also said that you're a competitor and so forth.

57
00:02:51,559 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 8: Was there a discussion late in the gaming butt you

58
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:55,279
Speaker 8: staying in or coming out earlier than you did?

59
00:02:56,399 --> 00:02:57,479
Speaker 6: I want, I want to be in the game, like

60
00:02:57,519 --> 00:02:58,719
Speaker 6: that's the biggest thing. I want to be in the game.

61
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:00,039
Speaker 6: I want to be out to those guys. You know,

62
00:03:00,038 --> 00:03:01,918
Speaker 6: if our guys are are out there, I want to

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,319
Speaker 6: be out there with them, and uhoo, may may see

64
00:03:04,319 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 6: something that may help us next week out there.

65
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:07,839
Speaker 8: So what I asked was was there a discussion though,

66
00:03:07,999 --> 00:03:09,198
Speaker 8: or is it just an understanding?

67
00:03:09,319 --> 00:03:13,199
Speaker 3: Understand you understand? Are you already in the.

68
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 9: Front, Treg, is there a sort of a fine line

69
00:03:15,799 --> 00:03:17,599
Speaker 9: when you turned into a ball carrier like you did

70
00:03:17,599 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 9: on the play where you got your belt wrung of

71
00:03:20,519 --> 00:03:23,478
Speaker 9: trying to make the yardage. But also again we've talked

72
00:03:23,479 --> 00:03:25,159
Speaker 9: about this about trying to protect yourself.

73
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:28,319
Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, I think, yeah, parts just thrown away

74
00:03:28,399 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 6: or you'll play the play the next next series. You know,

75
00:03:31,239 --> 00:03:32,439
Speaker 6: it was third down, so I was trying to get

76
00:03:32,439 --> 00:03:34,959
Speaker 6: a first and I guess I stepped out of bounds before.

77
00:03:34,999 --> 00:03:36,679
Speaker 6: But I definitely think, you know, in the first quarter

78
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,239
Speaker 6: of a game where you know third down is you

79
00:03:39,359 --> 00:03:40,359
Speaker 6: my mentality, go get it.

80
00:03:40,399 --> 00:03:42,238
Speaker 3: But the same time, we got no kind of situation.

81
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:48,439
Speaker 10: Drake over here. I'm just curious on the touchdowns to

82
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:51,039
Speaker 10: Mario Douglas, were you aware when you kind of took

83
00:03:51,039 --> 00:03:52,879
Speaker 10: that shot, Like was that the play call or was

84
00:03:52,879 --> 00:03:54,999
Speaker 10: that a result of kind of seeing that you had

85
00:03:54,999 --> 00:03:57,879
Speaker 10: a free play based on the penalty that was.

86
00:03:57,799 --> 00:04:00,279
Speaker 6: Seeing free play? You know, we worked on it this

87
00:04:00,319 --> 00:04:02,519
Speaker 6: week and just give this guys a chance. You know,

88
00:04:02,559 --> 00:04:04,079
Speaker 6: we got a piloty to give those guys a chance.

89
00:04:04,119 --> 00:04:05,839
Speaker 6: And you have a negative play on a free play

90
00:04:05,839 --> 00:04:07,279
Speaker 6: doesn't hurt. And I think the biggest thing is not

91
00:04:07,279 --> 00:04:08,799
Speaker 6: to taket hit. So I tried to get off before

92
00:04:08,919 --> 00:04:10,759
Speaker 6: you know it got hit, and you know, Pop made

93
00:04:10,759 --> 00:04:12,239
Speaker 6: a great play Drake.

94
00:04:12,279 --> 00:04:13,959
Speaker 2: Over the last month, the team may have not have

95
00:04:13,959 --> 00:04:16,079
Speaker 2: been winning games, but there was a feeling, there was development,

96
00:04:16,119 --> 00:04:18,238
Speaker 2: there was growth taking place. The group was heading in

97
00:04:18,239 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 2: the right direction. This result obviously kind of hits in

98
00:04:21,359 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: a different way. How do you feel overall about the

99
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,399
Speaker 2: growth and development of the team overall? Do you have

100
00:04:26,519 --> 00:04:29,919
Speaker 2: questions about whether you are trending in the right direction.

101
00:04:30,558 --> 00:04:32,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think, you know, I think John Jones, who

102
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 6: you know in the in the locker room after I think,

103
00:04:34,678 --> 00:04:36,519
Speaker 6: you know, it's just you know, two different teams. I

104
00:04:36,519 --> 00:04:38,118
Speaker 6: feel like that showed up, you know, with us between

105
00:04:38,119 --> 00:04:39,959
Speaker 6: this week and last week. And I think the two

106
00:04:39,959 --> 00:04:41,799
Speaker 6: playoff teams we faced and we see what we could

107
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,199
Speaker 6: do against you know, a playoff team last week, and

108
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 6: just feel like it wasn't there this week. I think

109
00:04:47,078 --> 00:04:48,759
Speaker 6: whether you just look back and self, by the way,

110
00:04:48,799 --> 00:04:51,198
Speaker 6: look myself in the mirror. I definitely left some players

111
00:04:51,198 --> 00:04:54,198
Speaker 6: out there. So everybody look yourself in the mirror and say, hey,

112
00:04:54,479 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 6: you know, I doing you know, whatever we need to

113
00:04:56,479 --> 00:04:58,678
Speaker 6: do to be on the same page and play good football,

114
00:04:58,719 --> 00:05:00,118
Speaker 6: and it's like it's in there. I think it's in

115
00:05:00,159 --> 00:05:01,959
Speaker 6: sore for us, like I said, I think, like I

116
00:05:01,958 --> 00:05:04,519
Speaker 6: said last week, we got you know, people in here

117
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 6: that can make plays and good players in this league.

118
00:05:07,078 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 6: So we just got to know, put all together and

119
00:05:09,318 --> 00:05:11,399
Speaker 6: you'll find a way to do more again on the

120
00:05:11,438 --> 00:05:13,799
Speaker 6: same page offensively and kind of get the ball rolling.

121
00:05:13,839 --> 00:05:16,038
Speaker 6: I feel like, you know that that's kind of the

122
00:05:16,078 --> 00:05:17,959
Speaker 6: tale two tales from a rolling we're rolling well, and

123
00:05:17,999 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 6: you know when we're.

124
00:05:18,519 --> 00:05:19,519
Speaker 3: Not, we're kind of stagnant.

125
00:05:20,159 --> 00:05:22,799
Speaker 4: Drake Coach Mayo mentioned, you know, trying to develop you

126
00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:25,479
Speaker 4: develop a quarterback. What was the value in your mind

127
00:05:25,479 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 4: of those two series you played in the fourth quarter?

128
00:05:27,999 --> 00:05:29,758
Speaker 4: And my second question would be, do you feel like

129
00:05:29,759 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 4: at this p point in your NFL career you're able

130
00:05:32,639 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 4: to protect yourself out there? You know how to do

131
00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:37,399
Speaker 4: that without compromising competitive integrity?

132
00:05:37,799 --> 00:05:38,118
Speaker 8: For sure?

133
00:05:38,119 --> 00:05:39,639
Speaker 3: I think that's that's you know, the second part of

134
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 3: the question.

135
00:05:39,958 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 6: Definitely even balance between being competitive and you're protect myself

136
00:05:42,919 --> 00:05:44,559
Speaker 6: out there, especially in a you know, scenario like that,

137
00:05:44,599 --> 00:05:45,559
Speaker 6: but at the same time, I want to go down

138
00:05:45,558 --> 00:05:47,118
Speaker 6: there and move the ball. You'll want to move the ball,

139
00:05:47,159 --> 00:05:49,119
Speaker 6: want to you know, get some juices poling for these

140
00:05:49,159 --> 00:05:51,879
Speaker 6: guys and you know, make everybody at least offensively say hey,

141
00:05:52,078 --> 00:05:53,519
Speaker 6: you know, you know we can still move the ball

142
00:05:53,519 --> 00:05:55,598
Speaker 6: in these guys and go score us of the mentality

143
00:05:55,919 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 6: And first part of your question was, yeah, value, I

144
00:06:01,599 --> 00:06:02,639
Speaker 6: want to be out there, Like I said, I want

145
00:06:02,678 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 6: to be out there. We'll be out there with those

146
00:06:04,558 --> 00:06:07,399
Speaker 6: guys and then then those guys up from the other

147
00:06:07,399 --> 00:06:09,079
Speaker 6: battle and their butts off, so you're not going to

148
00:06:09,119 --> 00:06:10,638
Speaker 6: be out there and you know, go to the coach

149
00:06:10,678 --> 00:06:14,879
Speaker 6: that hate take me out like it's not me.

150
00:06:14,558 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 3: Drag over here. What happened on the toss to tomorrow

151
00:06:18,198 --> 00:06:19,439
Speaker 3: Douglas the fumble there?

152
00:06:19,599 --> 00:06:22,399
Speaker 6: Yeah, just we probably just played for a long time,

153
00:06:22,479 --> 00:06:25,519
Speaker 6: you know, we're executing well and they have to bring

154
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,439
Speaker 6: you know, the nickel off the edge and I think, you.

155
00:06:28,438 --> 00:06:30,399
Speaker 3: Know, he's kind of you know, right up Pop, and

156
00:06:30,438 --> 00:06:30,799
Speaker 3: that's gonna be.

157
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, just you know, a good call on their part

158
00:06:33,318 --> 00:06:35,398
Speaker 6: and then you gotta give to him a better, better

159
00:06:35,438 --> 00:06:37,998
Speaker 6: ball to catch. That's you know, really falls back on me.

160
00:06:38,198 --> 00:06:41,638
Speaker 6: So I think kind of Pop made you know, readjusted

161
00:06:41,639 --> 00:06:43,919
Speaker 6: his thing a little bit. You know, his rattle or

162
00:06:43,999 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 6: his path just because of the blitzer off the edge,

163
00:06:46,919 --> 00:06:49,959
Speaker 6: but just gotta give him a chance to you can't

164
00:06:49,958 --> 00:06:53,598
Speaker 6: turn the ball over, Drake.

165
00:06:54,159 --> 00:06:56,759
Speaker 10: I was just curious over here on the side. I

166
00:06:56,799 --> 00:07:00,558
Speaker 10: was curious with cold strange. Obviously Ben Brown was out today,

167
00:07:00,599 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 10: so we saw Cole at center. What's it been like

168
00:07:02,999 --> 00:07:04,879
Speaker 10: working with him and just how was that being out

169
00:07:04,879 --> 00:07:06,598
Speaker 10: on the field with him for this first game today?

170
00:07:06,719 --> 00:07:08,719
Speaker 6: Yeah, I thought I thought he handed it well, you know,

171
00:07:08,879 --> 00:07:10,199
Speaker 6: you know a lot of pressure you know on him.

172
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:12,359
Speaker 6: He's you know, first started center. Center's a different job

173
00:07:12,399 --> 00:07:14,319
Speaker 6: than the playing guards. So you know it's probat of

174
00:07:14,319 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 6: the way you worked, probably way you fought. You gotta

175
00:07:16,679 --> 00:07:18,519
Speaker 6: wash the tape and you'll probably go over some little

176
00:07:18,559 --> 00:07:20,879
Speaker 6: things that maybe we could do better. But you know,

177
00:07:20,919 --> 00:07:22,919
Speaker 6: he caught the guys off side. That's really him doing that,

178
00:07:23,199 --> 00:07:25,278
Speaker 6: snapped the ball and it really credit to.

179
00:07:25,319 --> 00:07:30,559
Speaker 11: Him, Drake. The first player came back in the game.

180
00:07:30,559 --> 00:07:33,799
Speaker 11: You scramble nine yard and took another heart hit there, right?

181
00:07:34,078 --> 00:07:35,719
Speaker 11: Is that the kind of like the message or the

182
00:07:35,719 --> 00:07:37,639
Speaker 11: signal you try to pause to our team made that

183
00:07:37,719 --> 00:07:40,559
Speaker 11: we need to play top we need to play a

184
00:07:40,559 --> 00:07:41,319
Speaker 11: competitive game.

185
00:07:41,439 --> 00:07:42,078
Speaker 3: Yeah, anytime.

186
00:07:42,279 --> 00:07:44,559
Speaker 6: You know, I'm telling the doctors I'm good to go. Man,

187
00:07:44,559 --> 00:07:46,839
Speaker 6: I'm gonna come back and you'll give it all I got.

188
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:49,559
Speaker 6: So maybe could have had a booty on a crossing

189
00:07:49,639 --> 00:07:51,278
Speaker 6: route there, I could have thrown it, but end up

190
00:07:51,679 --> 00:07:53,999
Speaker 6: you'll get in the flag. But I think that's you'll

191
00:07:53,999 --> 00:07:55,719
Speaker 6: mess to those guys. Hey, you know, come back. I'm

192
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:57,199
Speaker 6: ready to go. I'm kind of the same thing when

193
00:07:57,159 --> 00:07:59,399
Speaker 6: I came back from the concussion, It'll be the same player.

194
00:07:59,439 --> 00:08:01,479
Speaker 6: And if I'm not, you know, I fel like I'm

195
00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:02,959
Speaker 6: not a harmstating to go in the in the best

196
00:08:03,039 --> 00:08:05,719
