1 00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: Tough game. Give Dallas credit. Tough game right on the 2 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 1: fourth and one. Could you just explain the decision to 3 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: go for it when you saw there, when the ball 4 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:20,640 Speaker 1: looked like a catchable ball for see? Yeah, I mean 5 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:22,560 Speaker 1: they kept the ball in the second half, went down 6 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: and took a lot of clock off. Thought it was 7 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 1: a good chance to go ahead and get the first down, 8 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: but we didn't get it where Yeah, yeah, it can't happen. 9 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: What happened? Can't happen? Why? What's that? Yeah? I do 10 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,479 Speaker 1: just can't happen. Did you think you should have caught that? 11 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,360 Speaker 1: Or was that a chest behind him? Yeah? Guys, we 12 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: didn't convert it. So at this point, do you see 13 00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: the season kind of at a crossroads here? I'll see 14 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,959 Speaker 1: us getting ready to play Washington. M a little more 15 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 1: upset than even some of the past loss is what 16 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 1: about this Slaus hitting? You are here every lass hurts. 17 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: You seem a little more frustrated today though, I think, Yeah, 18 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,680 Speaker 1: I think we missed some opportunities. You've got to do 19 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: a better job. Starts with me. What did you see 20 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:20,440 Speaker 1: on the first touch down and they're got in the 21 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: gated with the ineligible downfield? You gotta ask the officials 22 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,200 Speaker 1: you there was a couple of passes or Daniel just 23 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: seemed to be off today on short passes. Was there 24 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: anything there that you saw? Was there any reason you 25 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: saw for that? Now a few of your defensive guys 26 00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,560 Speaker 1: are cramping in the second half. What do you what 27 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: happened there? Why was that going on? They were cramping? 28 00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: I don't know, you gotta cramp, said another game where 29 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:52,600 Speaker 1: you guys were in it, obviously, and yet same one. 30 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 1: You just can't get him going, And you know why 31 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: is that? And how much of a strain does that 32 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: put on everything else? Yeah, we we didn't get a 33 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 1: whole lot going. Um, you know, don't know what we 34 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: haveverage three and a half yards or something like that. Um, 35 00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,440 Speaker 1: you know, I thought Mike had a good plan coming 36 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: out the way he did, getting getting Danni want to 37 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: move a little bit, trying to loose him up, but 38 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: never really never really got anything going, like any explosives. 39 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: Im and Gary had a couple um there towards the end, 40 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: but certainly certainly got to clean that up. You'll keeping 41 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: it on boots and things like that really not a 42 00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: part of what was going on tonight because keeping it well, no, 43 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: they had pass options, so he ended up throwing them. Yeah, no, 44 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: he ran his own reads boots. Um, we just didn't 45 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,720 Speaker 1: We just didn't do enough. Second year secondary had the 46 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: first half. Was the difference between the first half of 47 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,679 Speaker 1: the second half. Yeah, I mean they made some plays. Um. 48 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,880 Speaker 1: That team's got a lot of good receivers. Um. And 49 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: and they made some good plays. And I think that 50 00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: you know, we were trying to mix it up and 51 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: double certain guys and um, you know, give him credit, 52 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 1: they made some good plays. I guys competed. I thought, Um, 53 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: they just made some place. Think you missed the door 54 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: that Um, well, certainly he's a good player. Yeah, so 55 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: I think you missed all your good players that aren't 56 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: out there. Um. But I thought the guys competed that 57 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: that we're in there. Um, you know it was it 58 00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: was a tough game. You know, we started out. I 59 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,240 Speaker 1: thought it was a good first half and we just 60 00:03:23,320 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: we just didn't get much going in the second half. Um. 61 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: And then they had the long drive we didn't convert 62 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: on the fourth down. They ended up getting some more. 63 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: So guys competed. We just didn't do enough. Was this 64 00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: Frank and Thomas and its yeah, I know he was. 65 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 1: He wasn't feeling good. I'd say he was, you know, 66 00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: fighting through it today too. UM. So you can give 67 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: those guys a lot of credit that pushed through things 68 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 1: and UM, I certainly do. What what's your confidence level 69 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: that you guys can get this thing back on track? Yeah, 70 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,320 Speaker 1: I just come back to the same stuff we always 71 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: do each week. UM, get ready to play a game, 72 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,440 Speaker 1: take some rests, been a it's been a tough twelve days. 73 00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: Obviously you haven't got the results that we were looking for. 74 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 1: But I think we gotta just you know, get a 75 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: little bit of rest, um, metal recovery, physical recovery, come 76 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: back on Monday, and and get ready to play another 77 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,840 Speaker 1: division game. UM. You know they get they don't get 78 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 1: any easier. Um. Each week is tough, and you know 79 00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,480 Speaker 1: we'll stick with you know, our practice, our preparation, all 80 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 1: the things that we need to do to to try 81 00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 1: to go ahead and give us an opportunity to to 82 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: win a game. Um. But against ebs and flows of 83 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 1: the season, Yeah, are there things to be doing better? 84 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 1: Or do you think the opportunities aren't there in front 85 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: of them? I'd say, pat with the run game, everybody 86 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: needs to do better. Um. You know, it's not always 87 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: gonna be clean. There's gonna be someone some twos. You know, 88 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: we've we've been missing some, um, bigger plays that that 89 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: usually help in the run game. We just we just 90 00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,679 Speaker 1: haven't popped through there or you know, the blocking, the running, 91 00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: the design. We gotta we gotta do a better job 92 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: all the way around. I'd say with the run game, um, 93 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, coaching it, executing it, Um, I'd say we 94 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 1: got improved. I mean, we got a lot to improve. Obviously, 95 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: that's certainly one of them into the game deciding, Uh, 96 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: why was that your game planning? Did you expect me 97 00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 1: that you be able to you know, kind of get 98 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: the run game going after Like, yeah, we we try to. 99 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: We try to move it a little bit for him 100 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: and be productive on first downs, um, change the launch 101 00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: point and do some stuff to their defensive line is 102 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,920 Speaker 1: hard to block. UM. So you know, some of those 103 00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: were almost like runs if you will, just perimeter runs, 104 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, like the first play of Cajure and sliders 105 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: and things like that. Um. You know, and as as 106 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: we were going in the first half, even in the 107 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 1: third quarter, we weren't getting a whole lot from it. 108 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 1: You know, we were you know, i'd say Mike was 109 00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: sticking it in there and trying to mix it there, 110 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 1: and we just weren't getting to sit in third and 111 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 1: long I think I don't know what are all our 112 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 1: third downs were, but you know, we were like three 113 00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 1: of eleven or something on third down um and the 114 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: longer I'd say six plus against this team is um 115 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: a very challenging down. Obviously, we didn't wedn't do enough anything. No, no, look, 116 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 1: Squan Quans out there running hard, trying to do everything 117 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:19,720 Speaker 1: you can do. It's just we got to do a 118 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: better job collectively. Today. The really uncertain as to which 119 00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: guys you're gonna have ready to go today, which you 120 00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: know who you were going to have to move out? 121 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,280 Speaker 1: And I would imagine that affected the game plan a 122 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: little bit. And at what point did you have to 123 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: just say, Okay, here's where we're at and this is 124 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: how we're gonna build our games. Ready Ready? Yeah, I 125 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,360 Speaker 1: mean we we put the best game plan we could together. 126 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: And you know, there was definitely a possibility and like 127 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,360 Speaker 1: I said, we were gonna go all the way up 128 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,240 Speaker 1: until the end, but there was possibility that there was 129 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,680 Speaker 1: gonna be guys that were missing. Um, So I'd say, 130 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, those guys did a good job throughout the 131 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,640 Speaker 1: week of you know, it's only a few days, and 132 00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,640 Speaker 1: on short weeks you don't do it hunt of stuff 133 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 1: because you just don't have a much time to practice it. So, um, 134 00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 1: I just think that's the nature of it on a 135 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,040 Speaker 1: short week. The third and nine at the start of 136 00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, were you looking for a shorter completion 137 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: to set up four down territory there? You'd have to 138 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 1: remind me which one that was was short. All the 139 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: other routes were down the field, and I think Daniel 140 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: ended up being flushed and throwing the I would say 141 00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:28,640 Speaker 1: there was a few times in there where we were 142 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:31,559 Speaker 1: definitely we knew we were in four down territory. So 143 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 1: you know, there's an element of having something short. If 144 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: we need it, we'll go for it on fourth down, 145 00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: you know, try to make it a you know, instead 146 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:39,240 Speaker 1: of a fourth and nine and a fourth and four 147 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 1: or fourth and three with the opportunity to still get it. Um. 148 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: I'd say that happened a few times kind of towards 149 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: the end of the game. You choose when you went 150 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,480 Speaker 1: for that that fourth down. Why did you choose to 151 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,040 Speaker 1: go for that as opposed to money. I just thought 152 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: we I thought we needed to change a little bit 153 00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: of momentum after you know, the second half was going, 154 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: they went down and ord I thought Mike had a 155 00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,960 Speaker 1: good play ready to go. Um, you know, we had 156 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: an opportunity on it. But I just, you know, that 157 00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 1: was the right thing to do the guy. Any of 158 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:14,120 Speaker 1: those injuries, like long term, like Taul Shane, anybody, but 159 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,680 Speaker 1: the ones that were out, i'd say, Dan, I don't, 160 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: I don't, probably not. Um, I'd say probably not.
