1
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,600
Speaker 1: You're funds and football. How much did the pressure, particularly

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: up to the middle just swept your tiping on some

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,240
Speaker 1: of those spills? Uh yeah, I mean I thought they

4
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 1: did a good job. Like you said, they're they're uh

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: a good front, and uh, I thought overall we did

6
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 1: a good job handling it. You know, I think that's

7
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 1: gonna happen in any game. You're gonna have uh, you know,

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,040
Speaker 1: pressure at times, and you expect that. But um, I

9
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 1: thought overall we did a pretty good job handling that.

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: I think there's some some situations where uh, you know,

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 1: I can be better in the pocket and I can

12
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: I can get the ball out. Can you talk about

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: the two almost big plays to Sterling opening to the

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: first quarter and then it touched down it was a

15
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: little high in the end zone. What what did you

16
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: see that? Yeah, just uh, you know, two big missed opportunities.

17
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: I think, um, when you play a good defense like

18
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: like Minnesota, you need to convert those. So um yeah,

19
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,360
Speaker 1: I mean I think you know a certain look at those,

20
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 1: but I gotta be better, uh in those situations and

21
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: and uh we gotta take advantage of those. So um,

22
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: you can't afford to I can't afford to miss those

23
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,080
Speaker 1: when we uh, you know, against a team like that,

24
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: we'll see most people trying to shout away from fighting.

25
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,240
Speaker 1: S form that you guys were aggressive or your thoughts

26
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 1: on coming into the ballgame trying to be aggressive and

27
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: shows that maybe can you threw up in the acis guys. Um,

28
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean I think, uh, we have a lot of

29
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,959
Speaker 1: confidence and and uh you know our guys, our receivers.

30
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, up against anyone, I think

31
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: we match up well. So um, you know, like I said,

32
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: we had the opportunities, we had the chances, and um,

33
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: I gotta do a better job making sure we we

34
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: convert those chances. But um, I don't know, we're we're

35
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna be aggressive and we're gonna you know, with every

36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: game we play, we're gonna stay aggressive overall. Feeling about

37
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: how how you met the offense in today? Um not,

38
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: I mean just not good enough. I think you know,

39
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,840
Speaker 1: one of anything. I think, like I said, you know,

40
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: I thought the plan was good going in. I thought

41
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 1: we we created a lot of opportunities for ourselves to

42
00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: to make plays and and uh we didn't make them.

43
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,559
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, you're not gonna win if you can't.

44
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: If you can't convert those opportunities, you can't make plays. So, um,

45
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:12,959
Speaker 1: you know, I think you know, I gotta be better

46
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 1: on yourself. You've been tough on yourself and the two winds.

47
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: Um you take away that kind of mentality from this scheme,

48
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: Um seeing more things than that needed to work on them. Yeah,

49
00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: I think that's always the always the mindset I think

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: after a game is to to use it to improve

51
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: and um, and certainly certainly no exception here. I think

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 1: there's uh a lot of things I gotta I gotta

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: do better, and and uh you know, I think you know,

54
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 1: we'll we'll we'll correct him as a team and we'll

55
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,280
Speaker 1: move forward. But um, yeah, I think it's always kind

56
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: of the same mindset Wayne. With Wayne going out, did

57
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: that change perhaps some of the protections and maybe how

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: do you guys wanted to attack on Minnesota's defense? Um,

59
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: you know, I mean you think, Um, obviously Wayne going

60
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: down and it's tough to see and you hate to see, uh,

61
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 1: you know, you hate to see him go down. And

62
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 1: and uh but I thought, uh, you know, John and

63
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: and Eli stepped up and played well, um, you know,

64
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: with their opportunities. So UM, I'm not sure it changed

65
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot really in terms of what we were

66
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,400
Speaker 1: doing short term out for you and I know he

67
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: kept done with this game, but it's the thoughts on

68
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: in the next game will be against Tom Ree. Yeah,

69
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean it's the uh, it's uh the next opportunity. Um,

70
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: so you know we're looking forward to, you know, the

71
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: quick turnaround, the fact we get to play um, you know,

72
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,760
Speaker 1: four days from now and and uh short week. So UM,

73
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: I think we're excited. I think, you know, it gives

74
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: us a chance to get back out there and um,

75
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: like I said, correct some of the things that we

76
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: need to correct. You got you watched the line throwing

77
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: out and see some Yeah, I think, Uh, you know

78
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I watched I watched everyone uh growing up and enjoyed

79
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: watching everyone, but he was always uh you know, he's

80
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: been one of the best guys for a long time.

81
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: So um, I've always enjoyed watching him. On the safety.

82
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: On the safety, what did you see in their defensive front?

83
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: I know you're still reading the defenses across the league,

84
00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: but what did you see that safety with their manager? Uh? Yeah,

85
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: I mean they did a good job on that. You know,

86
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: I probably can Uh can make sure that we're you know,

87
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: making the right decision in the run game. And I'm

88
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, if I have a chance to get us

89
00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: in a better play, I'm doing that. So, UM, you know,

90
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:42,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a um, you know, a tough situation

91
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: and and uh, we can all be better. Was this

92
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: getting different than the sense it seemed like we got

93
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: get more and it was less for him to run?

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:54,720
Speaker 1: Was this just a better defense and you faced? Um,

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean I think, uh, they are

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,840
Speaker 1: a good defense, and you know they deserve credit. But um,

97
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,599
Speaker 1: like I said, I think we created enough opportunities for

98
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: ourselves to win. And and uh, you know, maybe there

99
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: wasn't as much space at times, or there was you know,

100
00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 1: um you know, but I think that's gonna happen in

101
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: a game. And as long as you're creating opportunities, you

102
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: need to be able to convert those. So, um, we

103
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,720
Speaker 1: didn't do that. I didn't do that, and and um

104
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:23,200
Speaker 1: that's why we lost. It's worth it two? Um from

105
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:27,080
Speaker 1: the three you're attempting to go in and you got sacked.

106
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: Was there a hot should be read on hot read

107
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: on that plate? Um? I don't know if there was

108
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: any change. Yeah, I mean there's uh there's always a

109
00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: way to get the ball in your hands quicker, and

110
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I gotta do a better job missed the opportunities.

111
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: Coach said that that was kind of like the story

112
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: of mind the team. What is it that this team

113
00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 1: needs to be everything to Yet, Um, I don't I'm

114
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 1: not sure it's something uh that we need to change

115
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: or we need to uh do differently or or uh

116
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure it's that kind of problem.

117
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: I think it's just about converting. I think we're we're

118
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: certainly capable enough and we're uh you know, we're aware enough.

119
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: We know we know what we need to do. But um,

120
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 1: it's just about it's just about doing it and making

121
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:19,320
Speaker 1: sure we're doing it every single play we're out there. So, UM,

122
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think by any means that we're

123
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 1: uh you know, need to rethink things or need to

124
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,039
Speaker 1: h change what we're doing. I think it's just uh

125
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: just making sure we do it. Had played two games

126
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 1: and done nothing, But when you sit a different feeling

127
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 1: walking off this time, Um yeah, I mean it's never

128
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,960
Speaker 1: a good feeling when you lose, uh, certainly, but I've

129
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: been on. I've been on teams where we've lost. I've

130
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:50,600
Speaker 1: been on you know, I've certainly lost games before. So um,

131
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's, uh, you learn from it

132
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: and and it's an opportunity to prove but uh yeah,

133
00:06:56,320 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: it's it's never a good feeling to lose with Harrison

134
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: Smith on the back and see, like obviously a talented player,

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: but did he give different things to think about when

136
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,119
Speaker 1: you were looking down feeling because of how much ground

137
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: could seem like heel and cover and kind of kissing

138
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: maybe where Uh yeah, I mean he's a he's a

139
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: good player. Um obviously played played in that system for

140
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: a long time and knows what they're what they're trying

141
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 1: to do, And um yeah, I mean there's a couple

142
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: iNTS is where I could have done a better job

143
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: controlling him with my eyes maybe or seeing it a

144
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: little bit a little bit better. But UM, I don't know,

145
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you gotta give a lot

146
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: of credit to their to their defense, but um, I

147
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: don't know. You know, like I said, we had, we

148
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: had opportunities, but um, yeah, they deserve credit. What was

149
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: it like having golden tape back then? It was good? Um,

150
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, I thought, uh, you know, having him out

151
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 1: there was was was it good for us? And uh

152
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: you know obviously, um, you know, probably probably missed some

153
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 1: opportunities to giving the ball and making sure he's he's involved,

154
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: but um, you know it's good having him out there,

155
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 1: and and uh look forward to you know, growing and

156
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: and and you know improving. Do you ever have to

157
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: get ready for us such a short duration set four

158
00:08:23,920 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: games and you think about your career, your math games,

159
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: that's shore we got to compare and just turn around.

160
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,719
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I don't. I don't know if I, uh

161
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: had anything quite like this in college. I guess we played,

162
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:38,800
Speaker 1: uh played Saturday and then played Thursday, so maybe five days.

163
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:41,559
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, it'll be a different week. It'll be

164
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: uh you know, structured differently and how we how we

165
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 1: practice and how we prepare. But um, you know, I think,

166
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: you know, I'm confident we'll you know, we'll be able

167
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: to do it. The Patriots have four days too, so UM,

168
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: you know, it's about it's about making sure we're we're

169
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: efficient and and uh prepared to pair to play. I'm

170
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: confident we will be Sterling in the back of the

171
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: episodes that he caught and what had abound? Something one

172
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 1: upset you the most. Um, I mean I think, uh yeah,

173
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: that one and and a number of other missed opportunities,

174
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,560
Speaker 1: but um, I think I don't know if I valum,

175
00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: definitely they're all big plays that that uh you know,

176
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: we should have made and I should have uh should

177
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:30,080
Speaker 1: have made sure we we did so, UM, I don't,

178
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,839
Speaker 1: Like I said, there there number of missed opportunities and

179
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: and you know you need to convert those to beat

180
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,319
Speaker 1: a team like that. That's a little bit too I

181
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: didn't think or whatever. Absolutely uh clearly too high
