Speaker 1: Um, you know it's it's the next game up. Obviously,
Speaker 1: these division games are huge, especially the situation where right
Speaker 1: now this division, you know, um, everybody's got a winning
Speaker 1: record right now, so all these games are are important.
Speaker 1: Um and for us especially to to kind of bounce back.
Speaker 1: You know, it was a tough loss on Sunday, Um,
Speaker 1: but you know, I'm really looking forward to it, that's
Speaker 1: for sure. Record though, does that does that concern you
Speaker 1: at all? We just we just gotta find a way
Speaker 1: to win close games. I think that's what it boils
Speaker 1: down to. And uh, you know, I don't know if
Speaker 1: it's so much a road or a home thing. It's
Speaker 1: just we gott to find a way to win close games.
Speaker 1: Team are to do that to put teams away. You know,
Speaker 1: it just comes with trial and air. You know. Obviously
Speaker 1: it's frustrating. Um, we just got to execute down the
Speaker 1: down the wire. You know, it's pretty plain and simple.
Speaker 1: We can't turn the ball over and we just got
Speaker 1: to execute laden games. And um, I think we'll be
Speaker 1: fine once we start doing that. All losses, you've had
Speaker 1: a drive there not the win, more tie the game
Speaker 1: at the ending at the pod. Each time something happening
Speaker 1: late games that he is restricting you guys, or that's
Speaker 1: been a problem. Um, I don't think anything specifics happening.
Speaker 1: We're just not executing, you know. I think it's playing simple. Um,
Speaker 1: But like you said, it is frustrating, you know, as
Speaker 1: an offense to have chances, I'm whether you're down or tied,
Speaker 1: whatever may be, to to win at the end, um,
Speaker 1: and to not come through. It's definitely frustrating as an offense. So, UM,
Speaker 1: you know we're looking forward to bouncing back from that. Um,
Speaker 1: you guys can you guys can check out the history
Speaker 1: on those. But uh, yeah, it's it's frustrating to have
Speaker 1: late game chances and to not finishing a practice from Triggs.
Speaker 1: And what about him intrigues you if the coaches choose
Speaker 1: to put him up at some point? Yeah, he can run,
Speaker 1: you know. I think you guys see it out there
Speaker 1: when the little bit you guys are out there, I mean,
Speaker 1: the guy can fly. Um, so it'll be interesting to see.
Speaker 1: I think he's, um, a pretty smart kid, you know.
Speaker 1: I think he's he's picked up things pretty quickly here
Speaker 1: and UM, you know, I'm excited for him to get
Speaker 1: his opportunity he had one pass that traveled beyond fifteen
Speaker 1: years in a game against Dallas. Going back and you know,
Speaker 1: rewatching it, what did you say conclusions did you come to? UM?
Speaker 1: It was again, it's kind of the same thing I said,
Speaker 1: UM after the game. You know, it was just kind
Speaker 1: of the game it was. UM. Some of it was
Speaker 1: the play calls, but other times it was just really
Speaker 1: the the defense was dropping. You know, they were playing
Speaker 1: pretty soft zone coverage or whatever may be. And UM,
Speaker 1: you know it's one of those things you got to
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives you. UM. And so yeah,
Speaker 1: it's kind of frustrating, you know, you want to take
Speaker 1: those shots. But at the same time, UM, I thought
Speaker 1: we were playing pretty efficient football. We just didn't finish.
Speaker 1: If you heard Jordan just now talk about the why
Speaker 1: do we serve a group and you know you just
Speaker 1: said it, I don't if you're coming into the room,
Speaker 1: he said, as a group, I feel like we need
Speaker 1: to play a lot better, including myself. When you hear that,
Speaker 1: what's your reaction? And do you agree? I think as
Speaker 1: an offense, we only need to play better. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we all got to take it upon ourselves
Speaker 1: to um to play better. To play more effective, especially
Speaker 1: latent games, to finish kind of have that killer instinct,
Speaker 1: you know. Laton games is the biggest thing that's getting us.
Speaker 1: And um, yeah, as an offense, I would agree with him.
Speaker 1: As an offense, we all got to do better. Important
Speaker 1: easy to take those shots down even if they're not,
Speaker 1: or to just sort of stretch out to de Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's funny. Um, it's all about the
Speaker 1: flow of the game, you know, and obviously it's important
Speaker 1: at times, but you want to you want to take
Speaker 1: calculated risks, you know. I think that's partially the offense
Speaker 1: we are is just kind of stay on the field,
Speaker 1: move the chains, um, take the chances when they're there,
Speaker 1: and you know, some games they just haven't been there. Um,
Speaker 1: So obviously it is important, but um, it's not something
Speaker 1: that's gonna make or break us. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think we'd have these discussions if we had just finished
Speaker 1: the game, um on Sunday. So Uh, it's it's something
Speaker 1: we just gotta We just gotta make those plays when
Speaker 1: they're there. Go along with your personality as a quarterback,
Speaker 1: I mean, you had a reputation a little bit of
Speaker 1: a gun slinger, coming in and you know, now you're
Speaker 1: matriculating the ball down the field a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it again, it's kind of I've learned already, Um,
Speaker 1: to just take what's there, you know, to know when
Speaker 1: to be aggressive, to know when to take those chances. Um,
Speaker 1: obviously I want to throw the ball down field. I
Speaker 1: think every quarterback wants to throw the ball down field.
Speaker 1: But um, at the same time, you got to take
Speaker 1: what's what's there? What he high? They targeted player that
Speaker 1: hasn't really in case at least, what needs to be
Speaker 1: done to get him more targets one po Um, you're
Speaker 1: kind of hard to say. Hard to say. Obviously we
Speaker 1: know the weapon he can be and the weapon he
Speaker 1: is in this offense. Um, but but we feel confident
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of guys that can make place,
Speaker 1: and so I think it all just starts with with
Speaker 1: me just getting the ball through these guys, you know.
Speaker 1: And uh, but you know, we know that he's still
Speaker 1: a really good player and we're gonna get him involved.
Speaker 1: Seemed to like a lot of cover too, or at
Speaker 1: least two high. Do they what do they do off
Speaker 1: of that? Do they always stay soft like that? They
Speaker 1: really like to mix it up. You know, they like
Speaker 1: to do a little bit of everything, and um, you'll
Speaker 1: see if something starts working early in games, they'll like
Speaker 1: to stay with it. So it'll be it'll be interesting
Speaker 1: to see what they're they're kind of approach, you know.
Speaker 1: Just in recent games, they they've really done a little
Speaker 1: bit of everything. So, um, it'll kind of be a
Speaker 1: feel for the game as we go, kind of what
Speaker 1: kind of defense they're they're playing against, says the quarterback
Speaker 1: of the team. Do you talk to Josh Hoff about
Speaker 1: his situation and focus going forward? Do you have a
Speaker 1: take on discipline and whether there's enough of it on
Speaker 1: the team. Yeah, you know, I haven't really got a
Speaker 1: chance to talk real in depth with Josh. Obviously it's
Speaker 1: disappointing to hear the news, but at the same time, UM,
Speaker 1: I don't really know many of the details. I don't
Speaker 1: want to speculate. I know Josh had a chance to
Speaker 1: address it. I think coach Peterson did as well, So
Speaker 1: I'm not going to really go much more in depth
Speaker 1: on that. Not throwing deep currently off does that make
Speaker 1: it tougher for guys underneath like Jordan and Zad to
Speaker 1: kind of you know, have roots and mover and everything.
Speaker 1: Hard to say, you know, it's hard to say. I
Speaker 1: think the reason we're not going deep ist because they're
Speaker 1: playing soft and so sometimes that opens opens up things underneath.
Speaker 1: So it's kind of, um, kind of just is what
Speaker 1: it is a little bit just talking to Jordan a
Speaker 1: little eler and he was saying that, you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: when you do get in the fourth quarter and you
Speaker 1: have a league like it had to, somebody gets lost
Speaker 1: sometimes maybe relax a little bit. Is that maybe part
Speaker 1: of it too? Boy? I don't really think so. I
Speaker 1: know for me it's not you know, and I look
Speaker 1: around the guys in the in the room that I
Speaker 1: don't really think that's the mentality many guys have. UM,
Speaker 1: but I think we do. Got to kind of learn
Speaker 1: it and kind of find our killer instinct, you know,
Speaker 1: find how we can finish games. Um, whether it's coming
Speaker 1: from behind her or putting teams away. Our student of
Speaker 1: the game is is Eli a quarterback that maybe he
Speaker 1: studied or washer did a particular affection for before we
Speaker 1: got to the league. Um. You know, I've seen him
Speaker 1: play for for a long time. Obviously he's been a
Speaker 1: really good player. UM. On one couple, a couple of
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, So I have a lot of respect for him. Um,
Speaker 1: one of one of the number of guys that I've
Speaker 1: watched over the years, that's for sure. Or stay too
Speaker 1: more question about person. Um you can see Kelsey, Uh,
Speaker 1: I think a little bit of probably game laster pies.
Speaker 1: But he's doing that. Is there any h bought year
Speaker 1: process on ball holes and how to get around that?
Speaker 1: He's a little bay not really, you know with Kelsey,
Speaker 1: I kind of know. I think we all know what
Speaker 1: we're getting with him. You know, he's a tough son
Speaker 1: of a gun. And Um, the guy's gonna he's gonna
Speaker 1: fall fall in the field before he comes off the field.
Speaker 1: You know, he's gonna give it, give it as all um,
Speaker 1: and you know he doesn't lose focus. You know, he
Speaker 1: might be banged up, you know, it's football. We're all
Speaker 1: kind of out there banged up at times. But you know,
Speaker 1: the guy's been been really rock solid for us just about. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing he's just doing it, you know,
Speaker 1: going out there and um and really just doing it.
Speaker 1: And I you know, I know that the type of
Speaker 1: guys that we have, I don't think we have a
Speaker 1: lot of guys that are mentally weak. I think we
Speaker 1: have guys that can get the job done and do
Speaker 1: have that killer instinct in him, and I think we
Speaker 1: just got to learn to learn how to find it. Yes,
Speaker 1: what's the problem? Yeah, I don't. I don't think there's
Speaker 1: a huge problem. I think it's just a couple of them. Um,
Speaker 1: I know he talks to his glove was getting really wet,
Speaker 1: and um, we were going pretty quick temple on a
Speaker 1: couple of them. So it's kind of hard to speculate.
Speaker 1: It's one of those things you don't you don't want
Speaker 1: to overdo it, you don't want to make it too
Speaker 1: big a deal about it. But you know, we're both
Speaker 1: we're both all its communicating and we have a good
Speaker 1: relationship with that. So so we'll be squared away soon enough.
Speaker 1: Thanks everybody. H
