1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,480
Speaker 1: Well, it's good to could have come down here and win.

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,159
Speaker 1: We haven't haven't done that a couple of years. Um.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: I thought that uh, you know, certainly wasn't perfect, but

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: we battled and um, you know, played better situational football

5
00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: than we having in some of the other games. That was, Um,

6
00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 1: that was a plus. Um, gotta have a lot of

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: credit to you know, Josh offensive coaches, offensive line. Those

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: guys really did a good job of hanging in air.

9
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: Um and I thought they they really you know, went

10
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: about the challenge this week of you know, we're placing

11
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: some some good players in that group, and I thought

12
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:39,600
Speaker 1: they played hard and we got some some runs there

13
00:00:39,640 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 1: for you know, to balance off the game a little bit,

14
00:00:42,159 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: and defensively didn't didn't have a very good first half,

15
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:47,960
Speaker 1: but you know, made a big stop there at the

16
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: end of the half. So those ended up being important points.

17
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: And thought the big the block Coln was, you know,

18
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 1: keep playing the game for us, even though we only

19
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: got a field able out of it, which is gonna

20
00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: end up being a three point game, but that's uh.

21
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: I thought that was a big one and play and

22
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: you know, I thought our kicking, our special teams played well.

23
00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: You know, Roberts is a tough guy, and I thought

24
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: we covered well on him on both punts and kickoffs,

25
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: especially the kickoffs. Um so, and they're they're good in

26
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,119
Speaker 1: the kicking game. They covered well against us too. So.

27
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: But you know, block point really was you know, big play.

28
00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: And then of course next field goals we're obviously you

29
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: know important any outcomes, so um, yeah, just keep grinding here,

30
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:30,640
Speaker 1: just keep trying to um, keep doing things better and

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: you know, stacked stack good days together and in our

32
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: practice and preparation and um, you know, continue to grind

33
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 1: and improve here three each week of the seasons. First

34
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 1: half to get down twenty two. What did they start

35
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: to do well? Yeah, have a bigger thing. It's third

36
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,559
Speaker 1: down conversions. And they converted I mean almost every third

37
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: down in the first half. UM penalties, you know, a

38
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 1: couple of pen one penalty on a third down conversion, hit,

39
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 1: a couple of slants too, short, ritage plays, um, scramble play.

40
00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: I mean, it was just a you know, not a

41
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 1: good not very good on third down. Um. Then you

42
00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 1: know we got him in third down, we just couldn't

43
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: just didn't went out there down And then that changed

44
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 1: in the second half. Um. So you know, I thought

45
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,399
Speaker 1: the running game, we you know that that's settled down,

46
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 1: But it was really the third down conversions that ended

47
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: up being. Um, you know a big difference for us. Defensively,

48
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 1: they didn't get the time possession and uh and uh

49
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: you know, they weren't able to sustain it drives like

50
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 1: they did in the first half. You ever done a

51
00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: game with you know, I was thinking about that. I

52
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: don't think I have other than the you know, the

53
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: replacement games and all that back and uh you know

54
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: what was that eighty seven? Um, I mean but you

55
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: can't count that. Um but no, so uh but you know,

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: Ted and James though, I gave us a lot of

57
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: um experience, instability, you know inside with with David and

58
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 1: and uh you know, Justin's been playing tackle for us

59
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 1: and you know, put him over on the left side

60
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: for Isaiah and Yahdi played on the right side. So um,

61
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not saying it was perfect, but I

62
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: thought they battled and for the most part, you know,

63
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: Mac had had some time to throw and and um,

64
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, we made some yards in the running games.

65
00:03:17,560 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: They balanced and able to run the ball in on

66
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: the goal line. So that was that was a good

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 1: thing there too. Did it help that I know you

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: were over down for guys, we at least kind of

69
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: new it all weekends you could practice. Uh yeah, yeah, uh,

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: you know, we were hopeful that that you know, that

71
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: Mike might clear, but he didn't. You know, he didn't

72
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: make it obviously, So hopefully we'll you know, we start

73
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: to get somebody back here and start to get some reinforcements.

74
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: But you know, we just got to you know, make

75
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: sure we don't you know, have another you know, have

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:04:00,480
Speaker 1: anything else happened. So it's always, uh know, I kind

77
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,160
Speaker 1: of feel like a walking the tight rope there where.

78
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: Did you see from Max leadership, especially on that game. Yeah,

79
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean Matt gave it to us all day. You know,

80
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: I thought he you know, we moved the ball um. Um,

81
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 1: you know, I thought he made a lot of good decisions.

82
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 1: There were some checks that he had to make that

83
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: that he made throughout the day. But really the the

84
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,960
Speaker 1: last drive was um, you know, third down conversion a

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: hunter and then you know we had a couple of

86
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: good runs in there. Um. Yeah. But Max been you know,

87
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,839
Speaker 1: MAXI been good for us all all year in terms

88
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: of his leadership. Is resilience and you know, kind of

89
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: always counting on him to do the right thing, and

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 1: and you know he really does it on at a

91
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: high level. So it's been it's been impressive. You see,

92
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: I look like they're in some kind of a gadget

93
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 1: punt formation and trying to I don't know, I think

94
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: probably get us to check into a like a safe

95
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: look and you know, prepare for the fake. And and

96
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: you know that strategy is it takes you out of return, right,

97
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 1: So if you think they're gonna fake it and you

98
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: just kind of stand there and wait for him to

99
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: run a fake and then they don't, then you just

100
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: don't get any return set up. So um, but we had, um,

101
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we were able to you know, to

102
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: get the call and pressure that. And you know, we

103
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: had some big guys in there, so that they did

104
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 1: fake it, we felt like we were covered, but at

105
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: the same time we felt like we could pressure it

106
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: as well. And I'm not sure exactly what happened there,

107
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: but I know that, you know, we had you know,

108
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,479
Speaker 1: we had guys coming whether it's a fake or not.

109
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 1: And and um, I said, obviously they missed it there,

110
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: and and LG. Meta. You know, had a great play

111
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: time now finding just from being around the league a

112
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 1: relationship with him going into this game. Yeah, I've never

113
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: really you know, a cross passed with David too much

114
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,360
Speaker 1: see everybody else down here, but you know, not not him.

115
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: So with the way the game went, especially with the

116
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 1: offensive line, to the way that they played a wound

117
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: you with josh Um called the game any differently, were

118
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: there are things that were willing to do it later

119
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: because of them? We pretty much, No, we didn't. We

120
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: didn't make any I mean, there were some adjustments in

121
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: the game, not saying that, and they pressured us a

122
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,679
Speaker 1: little bit more than they had with some other teams

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: in the past, but we kind of expected that based

124
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: on on the situation. But no, we were able to

125
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: pretty much run the plays that we had planned on running. Um,

126
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:36,560
Speaker 1: you know, we ended up being a little bit more

127
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 1: two back with Yak and you know, two backs in

128
00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: the backfield of Yak and either Damon or Um or

129
00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 1: mare Um in the second half. But you know, we've

130
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: done playing it that all year, so really it wasn't

131
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: a big big thing. First half was more two tight

132
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: ends and in one back, a little more of two

133
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 1: backs and one tight end. And the second half, how

134
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,279
Speaker 1: do you think the seconds? I don't think you know,

135
00:07:02,279 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: it's defense. I don't think we played very well in

136
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: the second in the first half period, So we gotta

137
00:07:06,640 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: do a lot better than not give up, you know,

138
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: two twenty plane drives and give another adr touchdowns. That's

139
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: not very good. Great, thank you,
