Speaker 1: Was the most difficult part about going up.
Speaker 2: Against that defense, the most what sorry.
Speaker 1: Cold part going up against that deep.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were they were sound and what they did.
Speaker 3: I feel like they did a good job all around,
Speaker 3: you know, starting with the front, you know, the guys
Speaker 3: in their secondary. Uh, they did a good job just
Speaker 3: all around. And so you know, they're they're a good
Speaker 3: team in general. You know, they when they had the momentum,
Speaker 3: they kept it rolling. I felt like there was just
Speaker 3: like some you know, some tight windows and stuff, you know,
Speaker 3: not a lot of room for air in terms of
Speaker 3: you know, my decision making and stuff. So but overall,
Speaker 3: they did a good job. They came ready to play.
Speaker 1: The first one, the one you wanted to back the most.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that starts it off.
Speaker 3: You know, obviously we were rolling, we had the momentum,
Speaker 3: had some really big plays on that drive and then
Speaker 3: you know, I throw the ball like that to to
Speaker 3: end the momentum that we had. So for me, yeah,
Speaker 3: that that that that definitely hurt. I had it back,
Speaker 3: I wish I would have progressed and just checked it
Speaker 3: down and kept the drive alive. So definitely gonna learn
Speaker 3: from it.
Speaker 1: To explain to a Layman, What did you not see
Speaker 1: on that planet?
Speaker 3: I saw Deebo flash a little bit, and in that play,
Speaker 3: if we had quarters with two I safety debo wasn't
Speaker 3: necessarily a thought. I'm supposed to progress, and so I
Speaker 3: thought I saw some space early on, and I threw
Speaker 3: it late, and then the safety made a play and
Speaker 3: picked it off.
Speaker 2: So clear's day on me. I gotta progress.
Speaker 1: So tried to get to Kittle. Are you aware of
Speaker 1: the flags are on the field at that point or
Speaker 1: are you just still trying to make it?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I saw some flags thrown, you know, as I was
Speaker 3: scrambling and stuff, not exactly sure of what or who
Speaker 3: the who it was on and so my mind was
Speaker 3: trying to make a play, And honestly, I can't make
Speaker 3: a bad play worse, I have to know that that's
Speaker 3: you know, on us in terms of the flag just
Speaker 3: buy some body languages of our O line and things
Speaker 3: like that.
Speaker 2: I did see that.
Speaker 3: So for me to throw across my body back in
Speaker 3: the middle of the field with a guy on George,
Speaker 3: that's that's very dumb with me.
Speaker 2: So I gotta throw the.
Speaker 3: Wall away and and you know, live to fight another
Speaker 3: play and punt and be willing to punt.
Speaker 2: So that's something I learned from in the hard way.
Speaker 3: What do you do? Yeah, I mean, it's the NFL.
Speaker 3: You know, we have some opportunities coming up, and we
Speaker 3: still got two games left in the regular season before
Speaker 3: we get in the playoffs. And so for me trying
Speaker 3: to look at the big picture of what we're trying
Speaker 3: to do, what our team goals are. But at the
Speaker 3: same time, I have to look myself in the mirror
Speaker 3: and ask myself why or how that happened and why I.
Speaker 2: Made those decisions.
Speaker 3: And so our team came ready to play, and you know,
Speaker 3: for me to make some decisions like that, it pains me,
Speaker 3: you know, and it's not fair to these guys. So
Speaker 3: I have to realize that and understand that, and I
Speaker 3: have to get better for my team.
Speaker 2: So did it.
Speaker 1: Seem similar to what you experienced in Arizona?
Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean I played the whole game fine,
Speaker 3: not thinking about it or anything.
Speaker 2: Well, it wasn't even a thing.
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, just the way I got tackled
Speaker 3: on that play, it sort of just lit up again,
Speaker 3: just like last week. So I had to go through
Speaker 3: the whole you know, protocol process on the tent and
Speaker 3: again and everything like that.
Speaker 2: So that's just sort of just how it went down.
Speaker 1: So when you say I can come back and that.
Speaker 3: Discussion, yeah, I mean we had talked about just the
Speaker 3: scenario of the game where we were at just got
Speaker 3: a stinger and you know it was my arm was
Speaker 3: coming back, you know, feeling normal and whatnot, and so
Speaker 3: he was just like where we're at in the game.
Speaker 2: You know, Sam had gone in and.
Speaker 3: Scored and he goes for right now, we're just gonna
Speaker 3: go with Sam just a by how things are going,
Speaker 3: and we didn't want anything else popping up with a
Speaker 3: stinger and all that kind of stuff. But it was
Speaker 3: just where we were at situationally. So Sam was doing
Speaker 3: good and rolled with him.
Speaker 1: You've been so good for so and so many weeks.
Speaker 3: When this happens, as it's happening, does it feel different?
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been so healed while it's been so high.
Speaker 1: What is the mindset as things are kind of tumbling away?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: You know, for me, it's like, you know, I got
Speaker 3: to ask myself all right, like who who are you?
Speaker 2: You know, what do you stand for? You know? Who
Speaker 2: are you when things are good? Who are you? When
Speaker 2: things don't go your way.
Speaker 3: It's easy to you know, be riding the high and
Speaker 3: thinking you're the man when things are going well, winning
Speaker 3: games and all that kinds of stuff, and you don't
Speaker 3: really see, you know, a whole lot of adversity in
Speaker 3: some games and whatnot. And you know, this is the
Speaker 3: reality of the NFL. And so for myself, I obviously
Speaker 3: have to look myself in the mirror, watch the players, hight.
Speaker 3: I need to get better, make some cleaner decisions, help
Speaker 3: my team, you know, put up points and score and
Speaker 3: protect the ball. And when things don't go my way,
Speaker 3: it's you know, under standing. You know, I can't be
Speaker 3: acting out. I have to be real with myself and
Speaker 3: be better. But I want to be the same guy
Speaker 3: every day, you know, be consistent in what I do
Speaker 3: and how I do things, whether things are going well
Speaker 3: or not. I know who I am and I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna waver in that. So I've said that before and
Speaker 3: I'll continue to hang my hat on that. Just to
Speaker 3: be clear, the stinger, did it dissipate pretty quickly like
Speaker 3: it did last week or he still right now? No? Yeah,
Speaker 3: I had eventually over time it had gone away, and uh,
Speaker 3: you know at first it was just on fire and whatnot,
Speaker 3: and but over time, just like last week, came back
Speaker 3: so correct.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, as you mentioned, learning how to be able to
Speaker 4: take upun is that a challenge for you to be
Speaker 4: able to say, okay, be more conservative and allow the
Speaker 4: offense to fun in the situation.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, I think it's you know, easier to
Speaker 3: do so when you know you don't have that many
Speaker 3: turnovers going on, or the game you know, is a
Speaker 3: close game and whatnot. But you know, and things are
Speaker 3: you know, in my mind to all right, you've messed
Speaker 3: up a couple of times. Let's I gotta find a
Speaker 3: way to make a play Like That's where I think
Speaker 3: I have to grow and be willing, Like like I said,
Speaker 3: to bad play happens, throw the ball away, pump the ball.
Speaker 3: You know, the game's still manageable to come back. And
Speaker 3: and those are things I forget better at and and understand.
Speaker 3: So yeah, thanks Gus,
