1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,880 Speaker 1: Damian, can you talk about that first drive when you 2 00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 1: guys went for twice on fourth downs and then you 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,720 Speaker 1: guys didn't punch it in. It seemed like he went 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,719 Speaker 1: for six times on fourth down today, not well four 5 00:00:12,840 --> 00:00:15,360 Speaker 1: for four coming into their last drive, So it seemed 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,720 Speaker 1: like you guys were gonna go punch for punch with 7 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 1: the Bills. You knew it right from the beginning. I mean, 8 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:24,480 Speaker 1: it was a tough game, obviously an important game. We're 9 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: playing a tough opponent, and we knew they were going 10 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,440 Speaker 1: to give us everything that they had, so we weren't 11 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:30,400 Speaker 1: going to hold anything back. And you know, the coaches 12 00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: made the decisions that they made, and as players, it's 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: our job to go out there and execute. So you know, 14 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:36,279 Speaker 1: they called the plays, we go out there and run 15 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: them to the best of our ability, to try to 16 00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:42,080 Speaker 1: continue to have positive plays, continue to extend drives, and 17 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 1: you know, ultimately end up scoring points. He's about to 18 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:57,760 Speaker 1: get angry, hey, Damian, anything defensively they did that was 19 00:00:57,880 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 1: unexpected or some sort of wrinkles he saw on the 20 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: first half. I mean, I just don't think we did 21 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: a good enough job executing. Um, you know, hats off 22 00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: to them. They're a great team, they're a great defense, 23 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: they got great players and great coaches. But ultimately, we 24 00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 1: didn't execute. We didn't do the things that we needed 25 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 1: to do well enough to have enough positive plays, to 26 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: move the ball well enough that way we could come 27 00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 1: out with a win, score enough points, score more points 28 00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: than they did. So, you know, again, tip your hat 29 00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 1: off to those guys. You know, it's an incredible team, 30 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:24,760 Speaker 1: you know, but at the end of the day, we 31 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: hadn't execute. So that's why we had the results that 32 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 1: we did. I mean, what's the key to just getting 33 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,639 Speaker 1: past this recent two games skid and turning things around 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,479 Speaker 1: before you know, the postseason or to get into the postseason. 35 00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,399 Speaker 1: You just gotta go back to work. I mean, win, loser, draw, 36 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,760 Speaker 1: You gotta show up the next day ready to go 37 00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: back to work. And unfortunately the last two weeks haven't 38 00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,040 Speaker 1: gone the way that we wanted them too. But it's 39 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:47,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be the end of our season. So we're 40 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: gonna show up tomorrow ready to work, ready to improve. 41 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: We know we got another tough game coming up next week. 42 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: So you know, this game is over with, we'll review it, 43 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: go over the corrections, take the coaching and then after 44 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: that it's on to the next game. Damian, is there 45 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 1: something that you look at in those past two games 46 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: that you said that you didn't execute? So's something that's 47 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,280 Speaker 1: changed because you were executing as as a team leading 48 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: up to the last two. I mean, I guess the 49 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: difference is that we're just not executing well enough. I mean, 50 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: we go out there and we string a couple of 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: good plays together, a couple of good jobs, but you know, 52 00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: it's not enough in this league, especially against a great 53 00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:26,720 Speaker 1: team like Buffalo some of the other teams that we 54 00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,119 Speaker 1: played this year. So you know, we gotta execute better. 55 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: We gotta have more positive plays, you gotta extend jobs, 56 00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 1: you gotta play offense all the way through the goal 57 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:40,080 Speaker 1: line and just try to get more points early in 58 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 1: the year. Is the team's confidence shraking at all? No? Hey, Damian, 59 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you about the speed option play 60 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 1: there on fourth down. Is that something you guys have 61 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: installed recently or has that been in the book for 62 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: a while now. I guess coaches called the plays and 63 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:06,519 Speaker 1: we would go out there and run them on the back. Damian, 64 00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: how'd you feel physically after missing a couple of weeks 65 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: with the injury. Um, you know, I just felt fortunate 66 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 1: to get back out here with the team. Everything that 67 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,799 Speaker 1: we've done this year, you know, starting in OTA's training camp, 68 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: grind of a long season and we're going into week seventeen. 69 00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:22,440 Speaker 1: So just having the opportunity to step back on the 70 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 1: field with those guys, I felt great. Um. You know, 71 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: obviously the outcome wasn't what it wanted to be, but 72 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: you know, just being able to be back out there, 73 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 1: it felt great. And looking forward to coming back in here, 74 00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: like I said, ready to go back to work and 75 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: get ready for next week. Damian, When you guys trailed 76 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: by ten at a half when you came out, you know, 77 00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: they came out and you held them to a field goal. 78 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: Can you just talk about your mentality as an offense 79 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,880 Speaker 1: on those next two scoring drives you guys had, because again, 80 00:03:49,240 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: you knew it was going to be like a boxing 81 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: match today, right, yeah. I mean we knew it was 82 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: a dog fight, and at the end of the day, 83 00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: our job on offense is to score more points than 84 00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: the other team, and you know that's what we wanted 85 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: to do, not just those two jobs, but every time 86 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: we stop on the field. Our job as an offensive 87 00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: to go out there and score points. And you know, 88 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,840 Speaker 1: we did that a little bit today, but we didn't 89 00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: do it enough, and so we got to figure out 90 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: a way that we can continue to improve in that 91 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: in that area, like I said, extend drives, have more 92 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,279 Speaker 1: positive plays, score more points, finishing the red zone, and 93 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: just stop hurting ourselves in critical situations because ultimately that's 94 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 1: what that's what it comes down to. You know, we're 95 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 1: shooting ourselves in the foot too much, and you know 96 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,960 Speaker 1: we're just not executing. So we got to come in tomorrow, 97 00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,960 Speaker 1: like I said, review everything, get the corrections, wipe it. 98 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,039 Speaker 1: You know, this game is over with and like I said, 99 00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,400 Speaker 1: we got another tough challenge coming up next week, so 100 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: it's time to get ready for that.
