1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,960 Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't do enough to have success today on 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: the field. You know, I thought for the most part, 3 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: our defense had a good job that keeps us in 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,240 Speaker 1: the game up until the punt return. Our special teams, 5 00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,080 Speaker 1: that's good things for fuel position, giving us an opportunity 6 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: to go ahead and play. We couldn't get anything going 7 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,119 Speaker 1: offensively today. We obviously have to have some kind of 8 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 1: production in that phase to compliment the offense. I'm sorry 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,600 Speaker 1: to compliment the defense and especial team is gonna making 10 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: place for us, but ultimately it wasn't good enough. We 11 00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 1: had to go back to work this week. A lot 12 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,680 Speaker 1: of things got to improve on and I'm looking to 13 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: see these guys finished strong, go out competing with had 14 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,560 Speaker 1: a good week of work with the guys. You know, 15 00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:32,800 Speaker 1: I cant seeing the same thing this week on in Chicago. 16 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: That being said, opening question, you have, okay, out the 17 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: game turned over kind kind of doing more of them, 18 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: and then from there pumped up with it for they 19 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:47,239 Speaker 1: kind of turned to the well, obviously you can't start 20 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 1: the second half off with a turnover, you know, and 21 00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: that led to the touchdown right there to made a 22 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: tent three, and then we didn't have a good punt 23 00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: and the coverage you know, had a couple of mistackles, 24 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,440 Speaker 1: gave them feel position right there, and Alsodden start team three. Now, look, 25 00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: it's still too possession game at all, out of ball 26 00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: to play like that. Can't be a situation where all 27 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,920 Speaker 1: sudden it feels insurmountable. All right, you just gotta go 28 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,400 Speaker 1: ahead and play one play at a time, one drive 29 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: at a time, and keep playing a game. Look, the 30 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: reality of it is, you go through the first half. 31 00:01:10,840 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 1: Our defense played as well as we could ask them to. 32 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: We obtuntion for turnovers. We were attacking the ball with 33 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 1: things that you say, Okay, keep on attacking ball. Something's 34 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: gonna come our way right there. The kicking game was 35 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: doing a good job giving us feel position, not really 36 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: letting the return game get started. I was happy with 37 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,040 Speaker 1: the way those two phases were playing. Obviously, offense, we 38 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: couldn't get anything going right there. You know, when you 39 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: start playing you know two out of three phases, you 40 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: know you've got to make sure that third phase can 41 00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: come through and give you something. Right there. We knew 42 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,000 Speaker 1: it was gonna be kind of slug it out type 43 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:35,920 Speaker 1: of game for us to have success. We saw an 44 00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: element in the first half. You know, you don't want 45 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:40,520 Speaker 1: to play with some limitations we had in the first half. However, 46 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 1: you know, when you go to the second half, there 47 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: are a couple of things, you know, that that shot 48 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: down the field, you know, I let them get some 49 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: more points, and then the two late touchdowns right there, 50 00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: you know, two inexcusable things that happened. What did you 51 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: without looking at film, what did you see that from today? 52 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,560 Speaker 1: It looked like he was a little jumpy from pasts 53 00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:59,760 Speaker 1: early rhythm. Well like, obviously we didn't do anything good 54 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:01,560 Speaker 1: enough on offense right there. So I mean, I'll watch 55 00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: the tape and I'll break down him, you know, Mike 56 00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,640 Speaker 1: as well and all stuff. I decided to make the 57 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: move going from Jake to Mike because we won't get 58 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,000 Speaker 1: anything going offensively, you know. And I thought there were 59 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,680 Speaker 1: some opportunities that we did have in the first half 60 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: and early in the second half that I had to 61 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 1: get something in there, going to give ourselves a chance, 62 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, to make some plays that I thought we're 63 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,839 Speaker 1: out there for us to make. What do you say 64 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: to him, you know about the oho, Jake, You're a 65 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: young player. You gotta learn and developing to do. All right, 66 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: this is the early part of a career. So you've 67 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: got to learn from what happened today. You've gotta make improvements. 68 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: You gotta make improvements on execution. Obviously, decision make will 69 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,640 Speaker 1: improve throughout time. But you know, he's got to come 70 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:47,160 Speaker 1: back to work on Wednesday. Everybody else you've got are 71 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: you prevent that? I'm just kind of dragging down. Look, 72 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at the tape before I go and 73 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,160 Speaker 1: make any like, you know, huge statements on that right there. 74 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: But obviously you've got to get you know, significant play 75 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: out of key positions. All right, but we've got to 76 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 1: execute everything better offensively. Nothing's really good enough today. We 77 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:04,959 Speaker 1: gotta make sure we come back to work and we 78 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: gotta give ourselves a chance. We got a capitalizing opportunity 79 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: that are in front of us. And when you watch 80 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:09,840 Speaker 1: the tape and only and you sit there and you're 81 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: watching on the sidelines, you talk through different plays and scenarios, 82 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,280 Speaker 1: and you said, Okay, we've got this, this, this and there. 83 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: We gotta get back to this and give usself a chance. 84 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: Make sure we don't lose an opportunity on this again. 85 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: You gotta you know, make the empsodes getting back to 86 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: something when it's there. But you've got a capitalizing the 87 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,240 Speaker 1: opportunity and they give them to you. The most teams 88 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:25,519 Speaker 1: in this league an't going to give you a second 89 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: swing in the bat, you know, so when something's there 90 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 1: the first time, you gotta make your shot. Say really 91 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: didn't play a lazy with that? Just the situation from 92 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,280 Speaker 1: the game, or if he didn't, Oh, situation game, Just 93 00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: situation game right there. You know, he's got some bumps 94 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: and bruises, you know, right there atoll, say Kin, you 95 00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: played hard. Obviously we couldn't get enough going for him 96 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: right there. Uh, but that was just decisual we made 97 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,200 Speaker 1: right there at the end of the game, Joe, you mentioned, 98 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: you mentioned if they started, you know you after the 99 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 1: turnover to start a second half, and with the two 100 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: store games, he said, that can't be an insurmountable leave 101 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: right here. Did you get any sense that some of 102 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: these guys, I mean, with this repeating failure, are kind 103 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: of feeling that, like, you can't come back, it's not working, 104 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: it's not happening here. No, I saw our defense consistently 105 00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 1: take the field with the right demeanor on the right attitude, 106 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: I really did, you know, and they made some shots. 107 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, in the second half, some chunk players get 108 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: on down. There is the one right there that was 109 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 1: throwing the throwback into the deep post. Was a big 110 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: play by them making that put them position for some 111 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: more points. But the one thing that our defense I'm 112 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: always proud of me. You can see it all the 113 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,960 Speaker 1: way at the end of the game on the stop 114 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,080 Speaker 1: right there on fourth and short. One thing they do is, 115 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, defense never decides, you know, when they're gonna 116 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,599 Speaker 1: take the field. They decide how they're gonna take the field, 117 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 1: and they always decided to take it with the right demeanor. 118 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 1: I'm proud of the way those guys fight like that. Okay, 119 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 1: they practice the right way, they have the right demeanor. 120 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: They really play as a unit together. I see a 121 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 1: lot of individual improvement. I see a lot of collective 122 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,599 Speaker 1: improvement in that phase of the game. Obviously, I've talked 123 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:45,279 Speaker 1: all the time about, you know, how you have to 124 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: play and build a team. So I'm proud of a 125 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: lot of the guys on defense in terms of how 126 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: they're pushing forward, how they're playing, how they're competing. They 127 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:51,839 Speaker 1: did a lot of things to keep us in the 128 00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: game today. And then obviously, if you can't do anything, 129 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 1: you know, offensively to really get the ball moving, that 130 00:04:56,520 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 1: sets you behind and there's not too much more defense 131 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 1: can do to hang on there. Execution was it was 132 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: obviously an issue. But did you have problems at any point? 133 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: And Getty take it ever and if not? Right now, 134 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,440 Speaker 1: I saw I saw our guys fighting. Look, I'll watched 135 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: the tape and anything I see in terms of low 136 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 1: for anything, you know, obviously we'll address. You know, I 137 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:14,919 Speaker 1: didn't see how those guys out there fighting and pushing 138 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:16,400 Speaker 1: on through. Obviously you see a lot of those, you know, 139 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 1: extended drives at the end of the game. You know, 140 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,120 Speaker 1: whether it's a lot of you know, open empty sets 141 00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 1: and running back and forth. A lot of times you'll 142 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: see some of you know, just natural you get three 143 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 1: or four plays in a row. Receivers aren't moving at 144 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: top speed all the way right there. We try and 145 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: rotate and keep them fresh. But no, I didn't see 146 00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: anybody necessarily in that room right there. We'll decide based 147 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,039 Speaker 1: on how they practice. See how these guys do. Yeah, 148 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,960 Speaker 1: there's a reporter earlier today that I think ownership by 149 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 1: the team leaves in you and Daniel into next season. 150 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: You know, do you feel any differently coaching a game 151 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: after something like that is made public and support of 152 00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 1: you just in regards to any kind of reports like that.

Thing is 166 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 1: when I keep talking to like the skill group and 167 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,840 Speaker 1: the offensive line, the side. Let me talk about going 168 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: back out there and say it's a two possession game. 169 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,200 Speaker 1: When you get back in this, they got the right 170 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 1: look in the eyes. They're still going out there to compete, 171 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,120 Speaker 1: all right, They're still gonna out there to fight right 172 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: there the entire time. So you talk about, Okay, what's 173 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 1: the situation in the game. One point is a seventeen 174 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 1: point game, right, so how to go out there and 175 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: talk him? Okay, guys, heres where we're at three possessions. 176 00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:58,200 Speaker 1: That's what we're looking at. We're approaching the fourth quarter 177 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: right now. This is what we're thinking about, four down territory. 178 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:02,840 Speaker 1: We're thinking about on side kicks, we're thinking about THEFF 179 00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,160 Speaker 1: situational calls. They're locked in, they're glued into that right there. Okay, 180 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:07,600 Speaker 1: so they're still in there and they understand that we're 181 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:08,919 Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and going out there, we're gonna fight 182 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: at the end. What were you saying to the receivers 183 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,880 Speaker 1: in the first half there? You got it at which 184 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: point you just got like five different receivers together to 185 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 1: a couple of jobs in the game. I talked to 186 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: them several times, you know, throughout the game. A lot 187 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 1: of it was about, you know, expecting what kind of 188 00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,040 Speaker 1: coverage they're playing. You know what that's gonna do in 189 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: terms some of the calls were making contested catches, blocking 190 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: and the run game things that nature, So it was 191 00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 1: more schematic type approach. They just said it was in 192 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 1: New York. They reversed it, and then they came back 193 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: and they said, hey, New York's looking at right there. 194 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: And then they just told me, hey, they're gonna count 195 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: the touchdown. There's not much more you can do right there. 196 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,480 Speaker 1: We can't challenge scoring plays. So right there, you're just 197 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: kind of sitting there waiting. You get a lot of 198 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: communication from guys in the booth in terms of what 199 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: they're looking at on TV and the replays, so you 200 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: know what you're really looking at in a situation like 201 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: that is you know what you're seeing on TV, but 202 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: ultimately it's what the official see. When New York season Darious, 203 00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, he kind of short week obviously came back. 204 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 1: When you see from him, you know, is he kind 205 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 1: of getting in here? I mean, obviously who's on a 206 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: short week coming back, so with only a couple of 207 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: days of going and really still part of that ramp 208 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,680 Speaker 1: up off that COVID deal right there. You know, the 209 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: package put together for him was considering the situations won't 210 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,040 Speaker 1: really get him in there. There were sometimes we have 211 00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to get him multiple players in a row, which is 212 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: something we weren't sure about, you know, getting with him 213 00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: right there as far as a conditioning part of it. 214 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 1: But I fought through a lot of things, and when 215 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,480 Speaker 1: you had the ball come his way with some opportunity, 216 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:25,760 Speaker 1: he was able to get the ball in space, make 217 00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 1: some plays and get a artical you know, convert some things. 218 00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:34,680 Speaker 1: You talk a lot of product. You know it's not 219 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 1: good enough at point blank, I'm not gonna make excuse 220 00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: of trying. You know, church it up right there, Dan. 221 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,959 Speaker 1: The reality is this. You know, you play to win 222 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,800 Speaker 1: the game, right You coach to win the game. You 223 00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,360 Speaker 1: coach to other players an opportunity and a chance. So 224 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 1: while there's things in every game you're gonna say they're 225 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:51,640 Speaker 1: positively and building that, and there's individual performances or unit 226 00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: performances that you say, Okay, this is what we're looking for. 227 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: Collectively it's not good enough. Okay, collectively it's not good enough, 228 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,560 Speaker 1: So we gotta do better next week
