1
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:18,920
Speaker 1: Hey, whatever it takes.

2
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 2: No, I didn't no, no, I didn't know about it

3
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,680
Speaker 2: until after I got back in the locker room. And uh,

4
00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 2: that's just the fiery spirit of the of the team. Everybody,

5
00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: of course wants to win. And uh, I don't put

6
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 2: too much into that through your head. Yeah you know it.

7
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 2: It was Uh, it was unfortunate the amount of mistakes,

8
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,919
Speaker 2: and mine included. Of course, everybody's out there trying their

9
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 2: hardest to to play hard to win and uh make

10
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 2: the player to win the game. But uh, you know,

11
00:00:57,640 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 2: we had, we had multiple opportunities out there, you know,

12
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,279
Speaker 2: to to finish, finish the game on our on our end.

13
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 2: Uh that fourth down, Baker makes the head of the

14
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: play to keep the drive going. And my mindset through

15
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: it all was, Hey, even with the penalties, you know,

16
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: next play, next play mentality, you know, Uh, y'all talk

17
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 2: to the group about winning on defense, and in that moment,

18
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 2: we knew we had to hold them to a field goal,

19
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: you know, and uh, obviously we want to get get

20
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 2: them off the field, we want to take the ball

21
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: away in that moment win the game. Uh, but to

22
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 2: hold them a field goal, man, it speaks to you know,

23
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: the resilience in the character of the group. Did I'll

24
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:43,120
Speaker 2: get you right after this? No, it's all right. Uh yeah, no,

25
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 2: I mean this this was a character game all the

26
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 2: way through, and we knew that they were gonna fight,

27
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: they were gonna battle. You know, we watched that game

28
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: on Monday night, them going into Kansas City, Uh after

29
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 2: everybody said they didn't have a shot on offense, uh,

30
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 2: losing their top two receivers, and they have a they

31
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: have a heck of a offense. They have of a scheme,

32
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: UH players to to run the scheme. And the same

33
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: was true today. You know, I think the first half

34
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 2: we we stood up and uh played played great defense.

35
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: In the second half, we you know, we we uh

36
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 2: were we came up short in some of those some

37
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: of those areas, but to like I said, to hold

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 2: 'em at the very end to a field goal to

39
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 2: give our offensive chance to go down and win the game.

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: Uh was about as as grimy as as gonna get

41
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 2: I did not watch. I didn't I you know, I

42
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,519
Speaker 2: I'd I'd rather just listen to the the cheers. Is that,

43
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: you know, I'm I'm always ready for regardless of what

44
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 2: had happened in the game. I'm always ready for any

45
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 2: any situation. So I wasn't. I wasn't sitting there praying

46
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 2: like ah mode, I hope you make it like I

47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: was getting my mind right for if he if he

48
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 2: did happen to miss, then playing over time, you guys,

49
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 2: what do you guys.

50
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Happened to.

51
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: Like y? I think it it comes down to just

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: really just one or two plays. As silly as it sounds,

53
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: you know, one or two plays is like man, really

54
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: that's all it is. But that's truly what it is,

55
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: you know, cause one or two plays can mean the

56
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 2: difference in you know, a touchdown versus a field goal,

57
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,760
Speaker 2: versus a takeaway versus you know it. There's all these

58
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 2: little things that go into it. And you know, I'm

59
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: not going into the game hoping that man.

60
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: I hope.

61
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 2: I hope it's an easy game, you know, cause if

62
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 2: you go with that mindset, then you're not gonna be

63
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:31,080
Speaker 2: ready for those moments that we were in today.

64
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:31,320
Speaker 1: You know.

65
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 2: I I came into it saying, if it comes down

66
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: to the final play and the defense gotta stand up

67
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: and win it, then I'm gonna be ready, you know.

68
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 2: And that's that's the my that was my message to

69
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 2: our defense, and that's gonna be the message going forward.

70
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 2: You know, you you prepare like you're gonna dominate the

71
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 2: team that you're playing, but you're prepared for whatever. You

72
00:03:48,400 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. You prepare for that fight. And

73
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 2: uh so when you are in that battle, then you're

74
00:03:52,160 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 2: ready for it. You can one like, yeah, what about

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 2: week one? You didn't like that one? You didn't It's

76
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: a I know, I got you. I agree, I agree,

77
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: I d I'm not concerned with it, I I My

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 2: concern right now is to get better as a team.

79
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,599
Speaker 2: You have to find a way to win in this league,

80
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 2: no matter what the situation you talk about this week,

81
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 2: coming out of a bye week against a great team,

82
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 2: going cross country all the time, changes, all this and

83
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: that there's gonna be some rust there, whatever it is,

84
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: whatever the case. Like, there's so many things that go

85
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 2: into winning and losing football games. Yeah do I D do.

86
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: I wish we blew 'em out by thirty, of course,

87
00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 2: but I'm at the end of the day, I wanna

88
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: make sure that we're playing our best ball when when

89
00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 2: it's needed at the end of the season. Right, and

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: we look at the tape this game and you much

91
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:05,359
Speaker 2: rather learn off of win than a loss, you know.

92
00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 2: And so we're gonna continue to get better and that's

93
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: that's when we'll find those signature wins.

94
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 1: For you this over and down season.

95
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,400
Speaker 2: And Christians, did this game feel a little bit like

96
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 2: the team from last year in terms of Yeah? I mean, uh,

97
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 2: there's a lot of talent all over the place, especially

98
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball and defensively. It

99
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: it's just it's about playing complimentary football at the end

100
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 2: of the day.

00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: You know.

102
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: The thing I I wish we did better on defense

103
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,200
Speaker 2: was take the ball away. We didn't take We didn't

104

Speaker 2: the team win, win the game. And uh, I know

106
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,840
