1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: You know, just what were your thoughts on the when 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,160 Speaker 1: things went this week right? 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:05,640 Speaker 2: Last week? 4 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: Now didn't pull out the wind, but did you feel 5 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:09,280 Speaker 1: like the offense at least, you know, made some strides 6 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:10,000 Speaker 1: you guys can build on. 7 00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought executed at a better at a higher level. 8 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,680 Speaker 2: H did some did some good things in the run game, 9 00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,159 Speaker 2: did some good things in the past game. You know, 10 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 2: it's kind of a ball control game where uh, you 11 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,520 Speaker 2: know they were uh you know, they had good times possession. 12 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 2: I thought we did too, So, uh, you got to 13 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,080 Speaker 2: convert on your opportunities when you're in a game like that, 14 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,000 Speaker 2: and uh, a couple of plays, uh, you know, we 15 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,279 Speaker 2: gotta gotta find a way to make and and uh, 16 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: it's on all of us. 17 00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 3: What do you say, I'm sorry, I'm late, David. What 18 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:44,800 Speaker 3: did you say to the leak after he plays a 19 00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 3: great game and then doesn't come down with the eighteenth target? 20 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think it's pretty obvious that we 21 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 2: wouldn't be in the position that we were in without 22 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 2: the game that he played. And and uh, you know, 23 00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,000 Speaker 2: as a as a rookie coming in and he played 24 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: really well. It was big time for us throughout the game. 25 00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: Made tons of big plays and uh, you know, it 26 00:01:05,120 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: was a matchup issue for him, for him all day, 27 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:10,800 Speaker 2: So you know, I think he's he knows that. I mean, 28 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,559 Speaker 2: he knows he played played a good game and and 29 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 2: you know, we we gotta gotta pick him up. He's 30 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 2: a competitor, he's a he holds himself to a high standard, 31 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 2: so you know it bothers him, but you know, gotta 32 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 2: gotta keep pressing forward. 33 00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 3: It was a difficult week for you, obviously coming off 34 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:29,520 Speaker 3: the last game. 35 00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 4: It's a loss. 36 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: So I don't know, this might be a better question Wednesday, 37 00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,440 Speaker 3: but do you feel any better and more confident? Do 38 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,039 Speaker 3: you feel better about your performance where you are coming 39 00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 3: out of this game than you. 40 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 2: Did all week? Yeah, I mean I think despite what 41 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 2: the uh you know, expectation was after last week, I 42 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 2: mean I felt confident. I felt confident in our group, 43 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 2: confident myself, and I thought we prepared well this week 44 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: at practice and and we'll uh continue to build confidence 45 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 2: through our process and through our through our hard work. 46 00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:07,480 Speaker 2: And obviously we're all very disappointed with the outcome today 47 00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:10,239 Speaker 2: and got to work to finish it up. But in 48 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 2: terms of my confidence and the team's confidence, I don't 49 00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: think that's going anywhere. 50 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 3: You've been part of some heartbreaking losses. What does it 51 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 3: do to a locker room win and you guys are 52 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: left short at kicker? Does that create frustrations with the 53 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:26,639 Speaker 3: management of the game, the coaching of the game, when 54 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 3: you guys are left without a kicker and you can 55 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,920 Speaker 3: point to that as a reason that you lose. 56 00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think we're going to make any excuses. 57 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 2: Football stuff like that happens and people go down. I thought, 58 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: considering the situation, we managed it how we had to 59 00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 2: and and we got to look at what we could 60 00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,320 Speaker 2: have done better, look at those those two point plays, 61 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 2: a couple of situations here and there, and where we 62 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: can convert. I mean, obviously it's not ideal to to 63 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 2: lose your kicker on the first play and changes how 64 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 2: the game's played. But we're not going to make any 65 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: excuses and got to find a way to make a 66 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,600 Speaker 2: couple more plays. 67 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 1: Did you guys as an offense at any point, I mean, 68 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: I don't know, if it's towards the end of the 69 00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: game you felt like you could kick a field goal 70 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 1: if you got to a certain point, or like throughout 71 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: the game, did you guys just think it's y on 72 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:14,919 Speaker 1: territory once we get down there, and we're gonna have 73 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: to just get the end. 74 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: Though, I think that's a better question for Daves in 75 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: terms of how he was handling it. I mean, I 76 00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 2: think in the situations that came up there, you know, 77 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: he told me it was four down territory, and I 78 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,080 Speaker 2: operate according to that. You know where that line was 79 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 2: or how he would have played a certain situation, is 80 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: is hypothetical and better question for him. 81 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 4: Daniel were This morning ESPN, Adam Schefter made a very 82 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,520 Speaker 4: prominent headline out of the fact that you have this 83 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 4: injury guarantee next year and that it could be a 84 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 4: factor at an issue like it's happened with other quarterbacks 85 00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 4: where they've been benched because of similar instances. Were you 86 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,560 Speaker 4: aware of that prior to the game. What's your reaction 87 00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 4: to that league game or being pushed prior to your 88 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: second start of the season. 89 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I hadn't heard the report. Uh this is 90 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: the first time hearing of it. You know, I think 91 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: my job is to play well and to put this 92 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 2: team in a position to win games. And you know 93 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 2: how they handle that, and and you know what comes 94 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 2: out you know where it comes from. I don't. I 95 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 2: don't know. You know, that's on that's up to them 96 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,559 Speaker 2: on how that's communicated. But my job is to play 97 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 2: good football, put the team in a position to win games, 98 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: and and focus on my job. So you know, I'm 99 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:37,760 Speaker 2: not in control of any of that. 100 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 4: Is it? How unique is it when you're throwing the 101 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 4: ball to one player so often in a game? How 102 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 4: different is it compared to you know, other years, other 103 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:48,120 Speaker 4: situations you've got. 104 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 2: I think, you know, you get into certain games and 105 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,400 Speaker 2: you know, I think Elik played really well. He was 106 00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: a matchup issue for him. You unders stand kind of 107 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 2: how it plays out, and and you know, routes and 108 00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 2: singled up. I felt like we had an advantage when 109 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: we were going to him. So we kept doing that 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,359 Speaker 2: and and trying to play the game, you know, with 111 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 2: with that matchup in mind. And uh, he did a 112 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 2: good job winning for us. 113 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 3: You guys, you've been in this spot before, not under Days, 114 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 3: but under previous coaches where you're going to and you 115 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 3: guys haven't really been able to salvage much of competitive season. 116 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:29,880 Speaker 4: How do you guys do that now? 117 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 2: I think it's just maintaining our Edge, maintaining our competitive spirit. 118 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 2: You know, I'm confident the guys we have and I 119 00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:43,920 Speaker 2: know we'll do that. So you know, we've lost two games. 120 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 2: Both are different, different situations, but we got the guys 121 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: to to buckle down prepared. It's about our process and 122 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 2: coming in playing with Edge, playing with with with passion, 123 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 2: and and uh findal ways to win games. So that's 124 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 2: all we can control. Control our preparation and how we 125 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 2: play on Sundays, and that's what we're gonna do.
