1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: That one hurts, but look, I told the team, it's

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: a Wednesday in our world. We had to be ready

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: to change the page and move on and get ready

4
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:11,560
Speaker 1: to win this next football game. This is NFL football,

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: you know those it's one play here, one play there.

6
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:16,040
Speaker 1: You just never know which play it is. And you

7
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: know it's easiest to try to pick out some plays

8
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 1: here and there, but it's all of us. We have

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,560
Speaker 1: to get better as a team and look forward to

10
00:00:23,560 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: to getting back on the practice field getting better.

11
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,440
Speaker 2: Uh, Gerard, how much do you learn from this one?

12
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 3: You know, you had the block field goal, which certainly

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 3: costs you some points, and then they came and got

14
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 3: a field goal, and then at the end, you know,

15
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 3: the forty seven yard run set you guys up nicely.

16
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 3: Kind of a lot of little things.

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 4: How much do you learn from a game?

18
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's a great question. That's part of

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: my message. It's all about the details. We get the

20
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: little things right, the big things will take care of themselves.

21
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: And we just didn't take care of the little things,

22
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: and we weren't as detail well, I should say, on

23
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: top of our p's and q's like we should have been,

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,320
Speaker 1: which is my responsibility, and look, I take one hundred

25
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: percent responsibility. And you know, look these guys, I will

26
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: say this like, this is a tough football team, no

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: matter what said outside this building. And I told these

28
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: guys that as well, Look we're a tough football team,

29
00:01:08,280 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: not only physically but also mentally. I appreciate their effort,

30
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: just wasn't enough today.

31
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 4: Gerard, you've mentioned that this is clearly a tough football team.

32
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:20,920
Speaker 4: But in seeing today's game, the limited passing attack, only

33
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 4: three completions to receivers, do you think at all today's

34
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 4: game showed the limitations you guys have right now on offense.

35
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: I'm not sure you know each team is going to

36
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: try to attack us different ways. Well, we definitely have

37
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,760
Speaker 1: to start to get the ball down the field. We

38
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: got to start pushing the ball down the field to

39
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: you know, to get that shell defense the too hot

40
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to get that shell defense. And we got

41
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: to be able to run. We gotta be able to pass.

42
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: We just got to go be able to ping pong

43
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: between the two. It's something that we need to work on.

44
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: That's what I would say.

45
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,720
Speaker 2: Draw on the third and one there take one's in

46
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:53,240
Speaker 2: the backfield, unbalanced line. You talk about being a tough,

47
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 2: physical football team, did you.

48
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: Maybe that's yeah, that's all on us. That's us. That's

49
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: on us as coaches. I don't put anything on the player. Look,

50
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 1: he was in there at times, he had to report,

51
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: then he played some tackle and there was some confusion,

52
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: but once again there was no receiver outside of him,

53
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 1: and so that's our fault hundred percent.

54
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 2: But from a mentality standpoint, d're just kind of like

55
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 2: trying to drive the ball down people's throat and in

56
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,239
Speaker 2: that case felt like tried to do something I fancy

57
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: might be the wrong word, but.

58
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't think we try to do anything fancy. I

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: think we tried to, you know, run the plays that

60
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: we felt pretty comfortable with going into the game, and

61
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: then at halftime made some adjustments. And look, this isn't

62
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 1: a fancy football team. This is one of those teams

63
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: whether we throw it or run it that we just

64
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: had to be a tough football team, but at the

65
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 1: same time had to be smart and we have to

66
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: be able to go out there and line up and

67
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: be mentally tough on a down after down.

68
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 4: Basis, kay Rod, how much consideration did you guys have

69
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 4: for going for it on fourth and one in overtime.

70
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: I would say there's some consideration. There's always consideration in

71
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 1: those in those weird spots, especially when you're getting the

72
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: plus out of the plus out of the field. I

73
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,320
Speaker 1: did what I thought was best, and then with a

74
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: corps for leaving the team.

75
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 4: What did that surprise you at all? How would you

76
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,119
Speaker 4: describe your conversations with him?

77
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: I would say, for you know, I had a conversation

78
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 1: with Chukes and it had nothing to do with football,

79
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: had everything to do with just checking on him as

80
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 1: a man. It was a good conversation. We'll see what

81
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 1: happens tomorrow.

82
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 4: Josh proper here, Drowd.

83
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 5: What worked very well for you guys in Cincinnati was

84
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 5: not giving up the big play.

85
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: And today Metcalf had that catch in the first and

86
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 3: obviously the block field goal was that the difference in

87
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 3: the game.

88
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: Those were two huge plays, and that's on us at times,

89
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, we want to be aggressive and they caught

90
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: a good play and they hit it down the sideline.

91
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 5: Grod, your your final nine plays offensively just eleven yards.

92
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 5: What happened with the execution there late in the game.

93
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: Just wasn't good enough. The execution just wasn't good enough.

94
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: There's no I wish I had an excuse. We just

95
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: have to be better.

96
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 5: Hey, Girod Jacobe did a great job most of the

97
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 5: day of avoiding sacks, getting away from the rush. Before

98
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 5: that blockfield goal, though, he took a sack and you

99
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 5: guys lost nine yards there. What did you see on

100
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 5: that play and was there any specific instruction you know

101
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,640
Speaker 5: to him in the headset for Hey, whatever you do here,

102
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 5: make sure you don't take a sack.

103
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: We always try to talk about situational football. I'll go

104
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:22,400
Speaker 1: back and watch the film and have a better answer

105
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: for you going forward. What I will say is in

106
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,839
Speaker 1: the first half he made some plays by extending drives

107
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,719
Speaker 1: with his legs, which is encouraging to see. We just

108
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: need to be more of a balanced offense, which that'll

109
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: be the goal this week.

110
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 3: A coach, you mentioned situational football. There were two end

111
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 3: of half situations where you guys weren't able to capitalize.

112
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 5: What from your perspective was the reason that you weren't

113
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 5: able to score on those possessions.

114
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 1: Just lack of execution. That's what it comes down to.

115
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to sound like a broken record. It

116
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 1: just comes down to lack of execution. I felt like

117
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: we were in shape, but you know, as the game

118
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:55,320
Speaker 1: we're on, there were these little mental errors that ended

119
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: up being big plays and just got to do better.

120
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 5: Last time we spoke to you Friday, you said you

121
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 5: wanted to see how Seattle would play you. They seemed

122
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 5: to win this middle quarters, which we did in the

123
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 5: case some sort of adjustments.

124
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,520
Speaker 4: What adjustments, if any, did you see them make?

125
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: You know, there they were matching our big personnel with

126
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 1: different groups. You know, they were going base and they

127
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,400
Speaker 1: were going nickel and kind of just they were just

128
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: matching personnel up and they did a good job making

129
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: adjustments faster than we did.

130
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: Just curious end of the first half and you guys

131
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 3: had the ball. You ended up running one, then taking

132
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 3: some time off the clock throwing a couple. Is there

133
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 3: anything you would have done differently in that scenario to

134
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 3: maybe try to prevent them from being able to drive

135
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: the other one?

136
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, like I said, I'm gonna go

137
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 1: back and watch the game. There were a lot of

138
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: plays in the game, and I don't want to give

139
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: you bad information, Trod.

140
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,600
Speaker 4: I think just four targets for tomorrow Douglas in the

141
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:52,279
Speaker 4: first two games.

142
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 3: What do you guys need to do to get him

143
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:54,840
Speaker 3: more involved.

144
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 1: On We have to get him going. Look, we have

145
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: to steam up some things for him. He's one of

146
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 1: our most explosive players and that's one of us the coaches,

147
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: to put it together. Thanks
