They understand, uh, the things that we 179 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:49,680 Speaker 2: have to clean up, and then we got leadership on 180 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: the football team that will bring the young guys along. 181 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 4: Someone would live doing. Do you worry a little bit 182 00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 4: rotating or a tackle and the drops issues that that 183 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 4: could voting him to be about environment? 184 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, we just uh he he's got to operate, uh I. 185 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 2: Regardless of what's going on around you. Their injuries are 186 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 2: a part of every football team, so uh yeah, he's 187 00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 2: just got to keep continuing to stack these uh games, 188 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:16,280 Speaker 2: stack these reps. 189 00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 5: Do you well say, what can you see about how 190 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,880 Speaker 5: Jerry larger operated involved? 191 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,000 Speaker 3: Are probably right? Yeah, great player. 192 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:27,960 Speaker 2: Obviously they uh you know again, give them credit, give 193 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,320 Speaker 2: their offense credit, their defense credit. 194 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:30,120 Speaker 3: Did a nice job. 195 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 2: But he uh he was was accurate throughout the day, 196 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: made plays, did a good. 197 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 1: Job up next quarterback deal in Gabriel. 198 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 8: So uh probably not obviously not happy we won or loss, 199 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:47,640 Speaker 8: but yeah bodies yeah physically sure, Yeah was it out 200 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:48,840 Speaker 8: there with uh. 201 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,679 Speaker 5: Those guys just being off and took sixteen hits success 202 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 5: just how physical aggressive of them. 203 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 8: Yeah, they're a really good team, and I think on 204 00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:01,240 Speaker 8: the second there's things that I can help to do 205 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:04,080 Speaker 8: to try and get it out uh as quick as possible, 206 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,760 Speaker 8: just so we're not in the negative. Uh on first 207 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 8: and second down. So uh things you know, we gotta 208 00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 8: learn from. 209 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:19,440 Speaker 4: When little struggles drop back a lot, Pat, what would 210 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 4: you should you do that? 211 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 8: You know, I think here and there there's times where 212 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 8: you know, I definitely need to be better and uh 213 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 8: creating completions. Uh, and then us you know, working together 214 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:32,680 Speaker 8: to to find that you know, we got we gotta 215 00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:37,400 Speaker 8: create chunks, uh, explosives. That's sometimes just runners right yards 216 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 8: after catch or maybe that's down the field, but that's 217 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 8: also just doing the easy things at a high level. 218 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 8: And I think at times, you know, we're not doing 219 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,560 Speaker 8: that and that starts with me. But yeah, we gotta 220 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:49,439 Speaker 8: we gotta fin answers. 221 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:51,680 Speaker 5: Is it just a pointing that you guys, you know, 222 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 5: have some pandies and going ways that you want and you 223 00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 5: can't keep going quins on and then kind of VNT 224 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 5: realizes what. 225 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 4: He's able to do for you guys, right. 226 00:09:59,640 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 3: Yeah. 227 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 8: The think it's a it's a balance, right. I think 228 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 8: at a certain point in the game where we're trying 229 00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,679 Speaker 8: to you know, you catch up in a sense and 230 00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 8: be more aggressive. So we kind of we're a little 231 00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 8: different in that end. But I think early on we 232 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:15,360 Speaker 8: tried to get that going and of course take our 233 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:16,360 Speaker 8: chances when we can. 234 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:19,000 Speaker 3: In the past game, Kevin said, it's a. 235 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:20,600 Speaker 7: Long list of things, you guys gotta be better. 236 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 4: To you where does that go to start? 237 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,000 Speaker 8: I think sustaining drives, you know, I think there's a 238 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,360 Speaker 8: lot of positives in certain areas, and then you know 239 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 8: whether it's a negative play or you know, a penalty 240 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:34,720 Speaker 8: here and there that you know sets us back in 241 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,920 Speaker 8: the series where you're gonna get in third and long 242 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 8: and they've been really good at that and during long, 243 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 8: so at that point, you know, it's a lot tougher 244 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 8: to sustain drives. But when we are ahead and being 245 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,439 Speaker 8: really good on first and second, then all of a sudden, 246 00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 8: you know, on thirds you're converting, you're building momentum and 247 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 8: being able to sustain drives where you're in the plus territory. 248 00:10:55,679 --> 00:10:58,080 Speaker 8: And then I think when you're in the plus territory, 249 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,000 Speaker 8: you can't you can't score for you know what I mean. 250 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 8: You gotta go score touchdowns and not field goals. So 251 00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 8: I think there's a lot for sure to work on, 252 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 8: and we're gonna have to just take it one by 253 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 8: one and all get better. But like I said, it 254 00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 8: all starts with me as well. 255 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 4: Study when you under pressure. 256 00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,040 Speaker 8: Yeah, I think there's there's gotta be comfort within a pocket, 257 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 8: and you know, I think anytime you can operate in 258 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,680 Speaker 8: that with pressure, you know, there's obviously less guys and 259 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 8: uh coverage, so you want to take advantage of that, 260 00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 8: but also being able to use and uh extend plays 261 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 8: as well. But that I think there's a combination of 262 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,680 Speaker 8: the two that you've got to balance, uh to where 263 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 8: you're not moving unnecessarily and creating your own pressure, but 264 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 8: then also being comfort you know, comfortable in the pocket 265 00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 8: when there's you know, games and stunts going on. 266 00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 4: Atmosphere. 267 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 8: I think every atmosphere is unique to it's itself. But 268 00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,920 Speaker 8: as a competitor, you you want to continue to make 269 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 8: it process oriented and uh there's a job to do 270 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 8: it and do it at a high level. And you 271 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 8: gotta play good on the road. Like we play home games, 272 00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,400 Speaker 8: we play away games, so either way, you gotta play 273 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 8: good football when you're struggling. 274 00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:20,400 Speaker 7: As all difficulties, when you have big drops or big 275 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:21,679 Speaker 7: MONI deal with that. 276 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,559 Speaker 8: It's all things we're all gonna learn from, you know. 277 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:28,280 Speaker 8: I think it's hard to just say there's drops, there's 278 00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:30,360 Speaker 8: a lot of ways that I can be better to 279 00:12:30,400 --> 00:12:34,240 Speaker 8: help them right and uh times that we can you know, 280 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 8: work through those certain things. But within plays, it ain't 281 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 8: gonna be perfect. 282 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 4: It never will. 283 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 8: But in the moments that we're in it, it's a 284 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:45,439 Speaker 8: lot more crucial to sustain drives and and you know, 285 00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 8: get catches to keep going. But like I said it, 286 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 8: I don't want to get it misconstrued that that all 287 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,839 Speaker 8: starts with me as well? 288 00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:51,840 Speaker 4: Doesn't you talk. 289 00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 6: About the negative plays, the enlities is in particular, how 290 00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 6: do you clean those up? Because it seems like the 291 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,319 Speaker 6: last couple of weeks especially there's you know, you have 292 00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 6: a play just does do zill time ability that that 293 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:05,440 Speaker 6: trying of gains any sort of positive momentum. 294 00:13:05,120 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 8: You ever any It's tough, uh I that's part of 295 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 8: playing the game as well. Playing penalties. I I think 296 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,440 Speaker 8: limiting you know, pre snat penalties is huge, but playing 297 00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 8: penalties are gonna happen. It happened on both sides, so 298 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 8: at times we benefited from it as well. But uh, 299 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 8: you wanna of course limit those for. 300 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 5: Sure, I know, you know, for you guys, is not 301 00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 5: any kind of histories, but do you when you look 302 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 5: out there, you see all your students playing in there? 303 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 5: You know, first second, do you feel like as a group, 304 00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,719 Speaker 5: as an offense that you guys are really in out 305 00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:40,760 Speaker 5: kind of grow walk together, but grow. 306 00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 4: Walk together the fastest, ye you know. 307 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:44,760 Speaker 8: I try not to look big picture and just be present. 308 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 8: I think other people in our building have the ability 309 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 8: to look at that, But for me, it's like, how 310 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 8: can be good? How can we be good right now 311 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 8: and be the best version of ourselves. We obviously know 312 00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,400 Speaker 8: that there are younger guys that are uh hungry and 313 00:13:57,640 --> 00:13:59,800 Speaker 8: have ex you know, are gaining experience. 314 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,480 Speaker 4: At the moment. 315 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:05,160 Speaker 8: But like I said, there's there's gotta be growth day 316 00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 8: to day, week to week, and it's it's got to 317 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 8: translate to a better outcome. 318 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,480 Speaker 7: You talked about that settling for field goals, So how 319 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 7: do you be better that you be better inside the 320 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:15,720 Speaker 7: red zone? 321 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 3: And how top is it when you don't score? 322 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's it's tough. It gets tighter and coverage is tighter. 323 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 8: There's a lot more pressure as well. So I think 324 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 8: in that case, you gotta be on your p's and 325 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,760 Speaker 8: q's and and being able to show eyes quicker, getting 326 00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 8: the ball out. But also, like I keep going back 327 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 8: to creating completions and when you do that, you don't 328 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 8: go broke taking a profit and you continue to move forward. 329 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 8: That you know, three yard gain and you know the 330 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 8: plus ten is is huge, you know, or even a 331 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 8: four yard gain.
