1
00:00:01,840 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: And even though he's.

2
00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 2: You don't need to say no, I mean, come on now, Like,

3
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,920
Speaker 2: the thing is is the quarterback is always going to

4
00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 2: receive the blend, like the the brunt of the the criticism.

5
00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: But Brock is like the least of my worries. Brock

6
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:20,440
Speaker 1: is made of the right stuff.

7
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:24,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, can he protect the ball better, sure, but he's

8
00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,080
Speaker 2: the reason why we have a chance to win games

9
00:00:26,120 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: and every single game that we're in, like right now,

10
00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: I can't like the The common denominator right now is

11
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 2: that I haven't been able to say in the in

12
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: the last three losses that man, the defense had our

13
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: best outing.

14
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: We just happened to lose. We're not playing good football.

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 2: On our side, and that's the reason why we haven't

16
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,440
Speaker 2: won the last three games. And that's got to get

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: figured out, and it will get figured out. The Bible

18
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 2: would be great for us. You know, people wanna say,

19
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 2: oh man, it sucks like we can't just get the

20
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 2: taste out of our mouth after a quick turn around,

21
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Like we had that opportunity this week and we didn't.

22
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:56,639
Speaker 1: We didn't get it right.

23
00:00:57,400 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna look at it as you know, a

24
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: good reset to be able to go into the buy

25
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 2: and figure this thing out and get back to playing

26
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 2: forty nine or defense, because right now we're not.

27
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: What you just said about the defense is the most

28
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: of your worries right now. What specifically are the things

29
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: that are going wrong with uh?

30
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Just inconsistency across the board. Uh, I think tackling has

31
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 2: been an issue when it hasn't been in the past.

32
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 2: You know, players have got to execute at a higher level,

33
00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 2: including myself. We gotta play more as a unit. There's

34
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,320
Speaker 2: gotta be more hunt to the football at all three levels.

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 2: There's gotta be more penalty free football. Like I said,

36
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 2: execution gotta be higher. We think that we're we're preparing hard.

37
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 2: We think that we're putting a lot of work in.

38
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,360
Speaker 2: Obviously we're not doing enough. You know, there's gotta be more.

39
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: There's gotta be more there. You know, it's just what

40
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 2: it is.

41
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: Seen character your defense. What do you see from the

42
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: past coverage or the past defense and change out? Yeah?

43
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: No, we uh, we we were gonna keep a simple

44
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 2: as game and and rely on our execution to uh,

45
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 2: you know, play play our coverage and with our.

46
00:02:07,480 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Uh with our rush. And it just wasn't enough today.

47
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 2: Uh, playing complimentary football, and uh, I have to look

48
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:17,200
Speaker 2: at the tape to see exactly where we where we

49
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: were wrong in that in that face.

50
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: Defensively, how damaging do you think that that verse third

51
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: down was? Uh? What were you have? Two defensive line?

52
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: I missed that sack and rolls out?

53
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I we gotta be we gotta be

54
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 2: better on third and long, Like that's gotta be automatic

55
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: off the field, you know, when we get 'em backed

56
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 2: up in a third and long situation.

57
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 1: I think back to back weeks.

58
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: We had one last week where it was about a

59
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: third and twelve and we gave up a checkdown for

60
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: a first down in the in the beginning of the game.

61
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: Same thing this game.

62
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, Like that's not

63
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 2: back breaking, Like I think we gotta we gotta be

64
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: better at bouncing back, you know, off of adversity, Like

65
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: who cares if they get a first down you know,

66
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 2: backed up in that situation early in the game, Like,

67
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 2: but how are we gonna respond?

68
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: You know? Like it is what it.

69
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 2: Is this last week. That's something that's game rights still

70
00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 2: Like me, I mean, we haven't shown that we can

71
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 2: play from behind and come back and win a football game.

72
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: So that's something that we gotta address in and get

73
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: better at.

74
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: Uh. We can't just be a team that can only

75
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 2: win when we're up, you know what I'm saying. So

76
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 2: that's why I'm sure that something will look.

77
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,839
Speaker 1: At really over confident after we think that was part

78
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: thirty two, not at all, I don't think so. I think.

79
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: I think after we won that game and we're going

80
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,359
Speaker 2: into the Browns, I mean, I think every single week,

81
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,920
Speaker 2: the mindset is just to go one and know, like

82
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 2: give ya all to like just just win one game,

83
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying.

84
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: And it's like to say that them.

85
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: The mindset shifted after that after going starting five and no,

86
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 2: I don't thinks.

87
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: I I really don't think so it just isn't enough.

88
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: And the easy thing right now to do is to

89
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 2: is to say, you know, I'm s it's to tuck

90
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: away somewhere. S. Stuff is hard, you're down three to zero,

91
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 2: you know, kind of hide in the corner. But I promise,

92
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 2: like that's that's not the type of guys that we got.

93
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 2: That's not who I am. I know, I'm gonna stand tall,

94
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna continue to rally the team I'm gonna continue

95
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 2: to show up and put the most work.

96
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 1: In I can. And words are great. You know, I'm

97
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: not I'm not.

98
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 2: Trying to sit here and just give you a speech,

99
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: but like I'm actions obviously gotta lead first. So uh

100
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 2: that's just what what we're gonna do. So he's got

101
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: some prism Steve Wilkes, you know, you know, you know

102
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 2: he's the coach's that's kind of that's the likely lead.

103
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: But what do you think about the way he's coordinated.

104
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: He said that he's kind of learning the defense. He's

105
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 1: think there's an adjustment period's still going on.

106
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the least my words. Honestly, I think

107
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 2: players win games, not coaches. I think uh, I think

108
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: he's done a great job. I think right now. The

109
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 2: the issue is, I mean there's there's gonna be ebbs

110
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: and flows in the season, especially with a new defense coordinator.

111
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,719
Speaker 2: I think the offensive side is has gone through that

112
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: as well when we lost mc daniel.

113
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: You know, like even though Kyle is a play caller.

114
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 2: Like when you lose a coach, there's gonna be adjustments

115
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 2: being made throughout the season. So we gotta continue to

116
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 2: work on that. But At the end of the day,

117
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,280
Speaker 2: players are gonna be the reason why that we win games.

118
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 2: We gotta execute at a higher level. Uh, player wise,

119
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: attack this year.

120
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Had been much year at all. Since you get here,

121
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: what can you put your finger on miss your west

122
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: for me? Uh nothing, I'd really put my finger on.

123
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not gonna make excuses for while we're

124
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: missing tackles. You gotta gotta tackle betterers of the defense?

125
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: What what and you say? What did you say to

126
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: your defensive teammates?

127
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,520
Speaker 2: And today I said to the defense and to the

128
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: entire team, it was I mean, this is it? Like

129
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 2: we didn't have a a game after this after like

130
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: this was our season right here? For there's one game,

131
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying, obviously knowing that we had

132
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,440
Speaker 2: a boy going into the next week, just just emptying

133
00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 2: the tank, uh for one game, and uh it obviously

134
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 2: wasn't enough, right, I got
