Speaker 3: Was good for us to again would love to have

16
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 3: to win by two scores, but but being able to

17
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 3: come back and execute uh in a critical situation, take

18
00:00:56,600 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 3: the clock down, you know, and win it on our terms.

19
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: We have to come back.

20
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 3: Oh, I mean that's how we practice. I mean, we

21
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:10,319
Speaker 3: we were talking about taking the next step, and we

22
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 3: got off to a really good start defensively and kind

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 3: of just beat ourselves a little bit from the details

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 3: in the first half.

25
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: Offense came back.

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,880
Speaker 3: When we needed them in the second half, and the defensively,

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: you know, just it's a huge challenge, you know, to

28
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 3: to defend them, and we got some stops. We we

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 3: didn't get as many as we wanted to, but we

30
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: got enough, uh to to give ourselves a chance in

31
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 3: the end. So a lot of credit to to everybody

32
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,240
Speaker 3: on defense and and Zach and his staff and everybody

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 3: over there.

34
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: What did you just see? What did you see in

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: game that? Uh, you know, try to go into your

36
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: this is your man's going into the single game.

37
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 3: Uh. I mean we we just try to prepare and

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: try to focus on getting better each and every day. Uh.

39
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: It felt like if we could protect them and then

40
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 3: you know, we did a nice job. They started blitzing.

41
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 3: They started blitzing. In the fourth courd. We hit a

42
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 3: couple of plays that I felt where the difference and

43
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 3: when they started blitzing and started heating us up that

44
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: we were able to hit some plays and some x

45
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 3: plays against it. So that was probably the difference, uh

46
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 3: for us being able to to not let the blitz

47
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,799
Speaker 3: affect us, kind of just simply settling down to look

48
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 3: specifically get ze blitzed with smooth.

49
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Early impressible. Just game's not over in the first series.

50
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 3: You know, I'm sure we'll want to start faster, but

51
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 3: we finished really well and you know, settle down and

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 3: so again, I just really proud of the whole team

53
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 3: for being able to come into this road environment. You know,

54
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 3: we talk about a lot of other people that had

55
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 3: cracks of beating them here.

56
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: You know, for fourteen games, they had.

57
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 3: Their opportunity, and we uh and those players took advantage

58
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: of that opportunity and and beat a really good football.

59
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: Team that hasn't lost here much.

60
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 3: Kick just when you can see when he's building some

61
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 3: confidence in a swing, it's just.

62
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: It looks good.

63
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 3: I don't I don't know much about kicking other than

64
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,920
Speaker 3: it just looks like a good driver when those pros

65
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 3: hit it right down the middle and there's some.

66
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: Balance to it and there's some calmness.

67
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 3: And I think he's been working really hard, and to

68
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:24,240
Speaker 3: to Tom and Jeremy, they've been working hard with him

69
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: as well to maintain that consistency, that consistent swing.

70
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: And I'm excited.

71
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: I'm happy for him, happy for all those guys, especially

72
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 3: uh Andy and and and Julian and Bryce.

73
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: It worked so hard, and.

74
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:40,000
Speaker 3: You know, it's funny, we just talked about all these

75
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: blocks around the league, and you know, trying to get

76
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 3: these guys to practice field goal protection on a Wednesday

77
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 3: in October, I thought would be a lot harder than

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 3: what it was. They you know, they really just bought

79
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 3: into it the pad level and every single rep when

80
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: you think in the middle of practice they could get lazy,

81
00:03:57,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 3: and so we asked him to focus on We asked

82
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 3: him to treat each kick like it was a game

83
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 3: winner all week.

84
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: And the protection was sound.

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 3: And you see around the league that these kicks are

86
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: getting blocked, and so obviously they practiced it. They recognized

87
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 3: how important was and then we were able to execute

88
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 3: there at the end, I mean, we're just a great

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: performance by our defense, and we had a couple of

90
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 3: leaky ones and I thought that they tackled okay, and

91
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: I thought we had a good scheme and they executed it.

92
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,200
Speaker 3: But you know, all the credit goes to the players.

93
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 3: Would like to be able to get Josh a couple

94
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 3: of times, but that's not no easy tasks. So in

95
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 3: the end, we made a few more plays than they did.

96
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: Well.

97
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 3: I mean, we're confident coming in here, so I guess

98
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 3: it don't probably help, but we'll have to start over

99
00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 3: and continue to improve. We talked about how we have

100
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: to improve along the way, and this was the next

101
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 3: step that we needed to take. So we'll we'll pick

102
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 3: up the pieces and get back to work. And as

103
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 3: soon as we get on the plane and it'll be

104
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,360
Speaker 3: another team that you know, there'll be waiting for us

105
00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:18,719
Speaker 3: on the road in New Orleans here. I mean, I

106
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 3: just we we gotta get this corrected, you know, we

107
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 3: we gotta get it corrected. But we also need everybody's

108
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 3: skill set and we want to be we want to

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 3: be aggressive, but we don't want to be reckless. And

110
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,760
Speaker 3: you know, you you can't relax, you know, he can't

111
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 3: be two three four inches from the ground and and

112
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: let them go in there. And that's We'll just keep

113
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 3: practicing it. We'll keep repping it. But his credit, you know,

114
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 3: he was able to help us, you know in the end,

115
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,720
Speaker 3: like a lot of other guys. So we we gotta

116
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 3: get it fixed because because we need his ability and

117
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 3: his skill set.

118
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: But but we we we can't put the ball on

119
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: the ground the big places.

120
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: Well, it was good to get some turnovers, you know,

121
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 3: we had a couple, and I mean the penalties were

122
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 3: you know, again I can tell you I disagree with

123
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 3: some of the judgments and everything else. And I'm not

124
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 3: you know, but the just the resiliency and trying to

125
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,239
Speaker 3: get in the drive stopped.

126
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,159
Speaker 1: Was critical.

127
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:22,839
Speaker 3: And then Diggs, he just you know, came up big

128
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 3: all night and you know, was able to you know,

129
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 3: do some things after the catch too, which was good.

130
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: Tunnel was important.

131
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,600
Speaker 3: For you to kind of creed and congratulate.

132
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,280
