1
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 1: Hey, what's going on? Welcome to the Vikings postgame report.

2
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen with the Vikings Audio Network analyst p Persig.

3
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 1: You know, the Vikings have lost six games this year,

4
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: and all these games are like snowflakes. They're all the same,

5
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,240
Speaker 1: but they're different. So your first home game here against

6
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:38,160
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons, you don't score a touchdown. JJ McCarthy's

7
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: home debut. You're at the LA Chargers. You don't necessarily

8
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: look that good. Eight fall starts. Last game against the

9
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,800
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens, well this one today, Cairo Santos walked off

10
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: from forty eight yards on the Minnesota Vikings nineteen seventeen.

11
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:57,240
Speaker 1: The Vikings were trailing sixteen to three into the fourth

12
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: quarter and staged a dramatic, exciting comeback led by JJ

13
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 1: McCarthy at the end with a touchdown pass to Jordan Addison.

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 1: Reiker hits the extra point. They take a seventeen to

15
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: sixteen lead with less than a minute to go. But

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 1: then there's a kickoff to Devin Douverday, who has two

17
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: kick return touchdowns during his career and he's quite lethal.

18
00:01:21,520 --> 00:01:23,399
Speaker 1: He ran off to the right side, got deep into

19
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Vikings territory. Santos walked off. The Vikings are four and

20
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: six and the Bears are seven to three. This is

21
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:29,880
Speaker 1: all provided by Loomen.

22
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: What's going on, well, I mean, the one thing you

23
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 2: can't do is you can't fault the Minnesota Vikings defense. Paul,

24
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 2: they played, they played their rear ends off today. I mean,

25
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 2: you take a look and you finally at the final

26
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 2: time of possession, it's a fourteen minute swing, fourteen more

27
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: minutes that the Chicago Bears have had had the ball today.

28
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: They were averaging one hundred and eighty three yards on

29
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 2: the ground over the last couple of games. I got

30
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: one hundred and forty today, hit the a top only

31
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: a one hundred and eighty through the air, two sacks

32
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 2: and then yeah, then then you plus two in the

33
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 2: take if I mean it's so it's it's like, yeah,

34
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 2: one one section, one group without Jonathan Gernard to come

35
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 2: out and play like they did again. Been nice to

36
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:21,840
Speaker 2: have a couple of turnovers, but we didn't get those.

37
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: But a great job by the defense offensively, I mean,

38
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 2: we gotta we gotta figure out something. I mean, our

39
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: quarterback with the forty seven rating, the scheme today offensively

40
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: and defensively. The schemes were spot on. We had wide

41
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: receivers open all throughout the first half of this football game,

42
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 2: especially early on, that were missed.

43
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:44,399
Speaker 3: Right.

44
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 2: The coaches can only set players up to do things.

45
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,359
Speaker 2: The players have to be the ones to go out

46
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 2: and execute it. They didn't get that done, especially early

47
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 2: in this football game. And that's that's probably the biggest

48
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: takeaway that I have, is that ski ta wise, the

49
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: way the players were set up, the routes, those things

50
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 2: they were all there. We just didn't capitalize on them.

51
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 2: Too many drops and you know, then now you can

52
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: get into the decision to not kick the ball out

53
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: of the back of the end zone. I mean, there's

54
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: a lot of different things that you could talk about

55
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: forever about this game, but don't lose sight of what

56
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 2: really got us where we were, Yeah, toward the end.

57
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: Well, the Kevin O'Connell is six and two lifetime against

58
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: the Chicago Bears and the only two losses, which both

59
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: are here at US Bank Stadium. The Vikings were minus

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 1: two in the turnover differential all right into the game.

61
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: The Bears were plus fourteen, number one in the NFL.

62
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: The Vikings were minus seven. All right, So the Vikings

63
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: finished minus nine in the take give the Bears at

64
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: plus sixteen. That's It's you can't lose the turnover battle

65
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: to this team as methodically as they play, and like

66
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: you said, there are details into which we can dive,

67
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: like that lass kick return and some other things. And

68
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 1: you know McCarthy's up and down performance. However, as Kevin

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: O'Connell would say, give me your best when your best

70
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: is required. That's what McCarthy and the skill guys did

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: on offense to basically look like they were gonna nip

72
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: these guys at the wire. Yeah, but you go minus

73
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 1: two to this team and you're gonna lose eight or

74
00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 1: nine out of ten times.

75
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, you are. You're gonna lose.

76
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,279
Speaker 2: You're gonna lose about eighty percent of the games that

77
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,559
Speaker 2: you play, close to probably ninety percent when your minus

78
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 2: two on the take give. It's just you're just giving

79
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 2: the other teams too many possessions, too much time, too

80
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 2: many opportunities. Paul, and uh, you know.

81
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: So where are we? Where are we with all of this?

82
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,359
Speaker 2: I don't know, right, I don't know. It's one of

83
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 2: the concerns that I have too, is just the number

84
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: of receptions justin Jefferson is getting. He's been averaging with

85
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 2: McCarthy four yards four point four receptions per game and

86
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 2: I think he only had four today by the end

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,680
Speaker 2: of it. So you know, there's that's on the back

88
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 2: side of all of this. But we got the penalty

89
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: thing figured out for the most part. Now, we got

90
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: to just stop turning the football over. And interceptions are

91
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: are what's killing us. And you know the the Bayern interception,

92
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 2: that was a great play by Bayer. I'm gonna givehim.

93
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give him credit. What credits do he McCarthy

94
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 2: didn't see him hovering out there in the flat. He

95
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 2: had eyes on the seven rout behind him, got underneath

96
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 2: that thing, the other one he was it was it

97
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: was an open Jordan Addison to Shaun Wright was beat

98
00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 2: and he threw the ball behind him and Seawn Wright

99
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: comes back and makes a great catch. That should have

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,039
Speaker 2: been a touchdown right there, amongst some other plays that

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 2: you know that occurred that could have been or may

102
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 2: have been touchdowns that were missed. So the bottom line

103
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,600
Speaker 2: is your four and six. Where do you go from here?

104
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,760
Speaker 2: You gotta go to Green Bay against a Packers team

105
00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: that I don't know how they finished up today, but

106
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 2: they're struggling as well. So it's you know, this this loss,

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: you lose your undefeated streak against the NFC NFC North

108
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,279
Speaker 2: and then on top of it, you know, one and

109
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 2: four at home.

110
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 1: Yeah that's uh, well, McCarthy still doesn't have a win

111
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: at home.

112
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 2: Right, and so I think today was his first passing

113
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,159
Speaker 2: touchdown at home right last week?

114
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 3: Last week?

115
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: Why that's right.

116
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 2: So yeah, you got to get him a win at home,

117
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 2: and we still got He's a young quarterback. We still have,

118
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: we still have, you know, a long way to go,

119
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,919
Speaker 2: and it's hard and it's frustrating and yep to you know,

120
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 2: to see the defense place well missing Jonathan Grenard so encouraging,

121
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520
Speaker 2: but at the same time, we're not playing all three

122
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 2: phases the way we have we need to.

123
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 4: Well.

124
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: Here at vikings dot Com, you will see Tatum Everett

125
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: end up Ben Lieber doing between the lines. We see

126
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: Tatum Everett at Scoreboard Central where Pete asked a question

127
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: and she provided the answer immediately. Green Bay beat the

128
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Giants at MetLife twenty seven to twenty. So we had

129
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 1: to Lambeau to play a Packers team that that may

130
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: have lost Josh Jacobs not only for the day, but

131
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: for a little bit. Nevertheless, that's the and this is

132
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: now before we start hearing some press conference action. You're

133
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: a former coach in the NFL, all right, your coach

134
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: linebackers for half a decade, so you've heard whether it's

135
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: Denny Green, a coach for whom you played, Lou Holtz

136
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: a Notre Dame, or Mike Tice. Here, if you're Kevin O'Connell,

137
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: a raising kids ain't easy professionally or personally, all right,

138
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: So that was McCarthy's fifth start, So they're still better

139
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: to come. I think we all know that. But if

140
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:33,440
Speaker 1: you're Kevin O'Connell and you schemed so many guys open

141
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: so frequently during the course of the game, how do

142
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: you handle that?

143
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you just got to keep doing what you're doing.

144
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,040
Speaker 2: You got to keep doing what you're doing. You've got

145
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 2: to pour everything that you've got into developing this young

146
00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 2: quarterback and see how he responds, because that's very telling, right,

147
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 2: that's the only that's the only thing that you have

148
00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: to answer now is is he the guy going forward?

149
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 2: And you're not going to do him any favors by

150
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:03,680
Speaker 2: changing what you do to much, by not being or

151
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: not having the identity that you've had as a passing

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: team over the last four seasons. It's it's a very

153
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 2: tough thing to do that balance to walk. Yeah, but

154
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: guys are getting open. It's just a matter of executing it.

155
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 2: And patients should be thinned. Demands should be going up

156
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 2: of these players and of you know what you need

157
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: from them. This is the NFL, right, I mean, in

158
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,720
Speaker 2: a fifty percent completion rate is not going to get

159
00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 2: it done. So what needs to be fixed with that?

160
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: And I mean you've got some firepower on offense that's

161
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: sitting on the shelf that really we haven't been able

162
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: to use because of those struggles, and that has to

163
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 2: be fixed as quickly as possible.

164
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: All Right, let's hear from Minnesota Vikings, said coach Kevin

165
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 1: O'Connell following a walk off win by the Chicago Bears.

166
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,960
Speaker 1: It was Cairo Santos from forty eight they win nineteen

167
00:08:56,040 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: seventeen years Ko.

168
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 5: We knew coming into the game that this team had

169
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,520
Speaker 5: won all of their games by winning the turnover margin,

170
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 5: and we lost that two to zero and did a

171
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,839
Speaker 5: lot of things that did a lot of things as

172
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 5: a football team to try to battle and continue to

173
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 5: overcome the adversity that we kind of face in many cases,

174
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 5: you know, calls by ourselves and just some certain aspects

175
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 5: of the game today. Proud of the way they competed,

176
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,719
Speaker 5: but not good enough to win overall. And I love

177
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 5: the fight to get the lead at the end, and

178
00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 5: they made a play to get the ball in field

179
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 5: goal range on the kickoff return, and they made that

180
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: play which ended up being a winning play in a

181
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 5: game that was quite honestly something that you know, we

182
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 5: did a lot of the things that we talked about

183
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 5: not doing, and the main thing being the turnovers and

184
00:09:49,920 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 5: got to take a look at them obviously. But I

185
00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 5: was proud of the way we ran the ball, you know,

186
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 5: tried to stick with it as much as we could.

187
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:58,320
Speaker 5: Ended up with a couple of two minute drives there

188
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 5: where we had to go and maybe became one dimensional.

189
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 5: But for the most part, the guys up front felt

190
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 5: like we protected I think we had we limited the negatives.

191
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 5: For the most part, we just felt like we were

192
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 5: a play away all day.

193
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 4: So just JJ's accuracy and I guess, how did you

194
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 4: evaluate kind of throughout the game.

195
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 5: You know, obviously you feel certain things when you're you know,

196
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 5: when you're calling things, seeing coverages kind of express themselves

197
00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,640
Speaker 5: and you think maybe there's you know, some ops out there,

198
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 5: But I always have to really evaluate it from a

199
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 5: standpoint of of of what it looked like on the

200
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: tape and if there were it felt like protection wise,

201
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 5: outside of a few plays I can think of, you know,

202
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 5: we tried to keep them clean. I like the protection

203
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:44,040
Speaker 5: plan we had against some looks that we that have

204
00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:45,400
Speaker 5: caused some people problems on.

205
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 4: Some of those third downs.

206
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: And then overall just you know, felt like we were

207
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 5: one or two pitching catches away from from maybe you know,

208
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,320
Speaker 5: having a little bit different dynamic to the game throughout.

209
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 5: So I don't want to pinpoint one particular area, but yeah,

210
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 5: there was there were some plays you think of as

211
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 5: you kind of roll through the game from you know,

212
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 5: start to finish. But I also thought there were some

213
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 5: plays we could have made for him as well, and

214
00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 5: we just got to you know, stay the course and

215
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,239
Speaker 5: continue to coach the principles that we believe in wholeheartedly,

216
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,840
Speaker 5: and and uh continue to try to pave the path

217
00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 5: for improvement and and like It starts with the pitching

218
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 5: and catching and and how we're putting things together and

219
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,680
Speaker 5: trying to make it, you know, as as quarterback friendly

220
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,400
Speaker 5: as we can. We'll still you know, being able to

221
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 5: run the football and stay efficient throughout the day.

222
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:35,679
Speaker 3: And how hard is that way?

223
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,439
Speaker 6: You have to give him the time to just progress

224
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 6: through what he needs to progress.

225
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 7: But going into that locker room after that game, where

226
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 7: you know, the final margin was one play this.

227
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 5: Way either, Yeah, And that's what I told our team.

228
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 5: We've learned some We've learned some hard lessons on that margin,

229
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 5: you know, that that razor thin margin of what.

230
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 4: These games come down to.

231
00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 5: You know, I think there's a lot of things, whether

232
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 5: that field goal goes through at the end or not,

233
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 5: that for us to become the team we want to be,

234
00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 5: we've got to work towards those things in all three phases.

235
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:10,199
Speaker 5: And the one thing I know for sure is this team, Uh,

236
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 5: you know, I gathered him up at the end and

237
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 5: and had every eyeball and every guy in that in

238
00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 5: that circle. And we've got great leadership, and we've got

239
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 5: great fight and just the examples of our practice weeks

240
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 5: and what we've felt like coming out of our practice

241
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 5: weeks into these games with a lot of confidence because

242
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:26,640
Speaker 5: of the work that gets put in.

243
00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:29,080
Speaker 4: That's exactly what we're gonna keep doing.

244
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 8: It started to look like it just was snowballing on JJ.

245
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 8: The incompletion is the wild throws. What were you seeing

246
00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 8: on the sideline as you talked to him in between series?

247
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was, you know, just a couple of those plays.

248
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: You know, he he was, he was frustrated, and I

249
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 5: just I just kept telling him, you know, feet and eyes,

250
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 5: feet and eyes and and the and the things that

251
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,160
Speaker 5: we saw throughout the week on the practice field, Uh,

252
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 5: you know, make it about that. And and I thought

253
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,720
Speaker 5: he did some nice things, you know, checking the ball

254
00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 5: down a couple of times. Yeah, we might have you know,

255
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 5: missed some chances down the field in the playpass game,

256
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 5: or miss some chances you know, maybe to convert on

257
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,120
Speaker 5: some third downs and get a new set of downs

258
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 5: and can continue with the rhythm. But it's just about

259
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,600
Speaker 5: the next play in that moment.

260
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 4: You can't. You're obviously coaching principles.

261
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 5: And I know Josh is coaching uh you know, footwork

262
00:13:14,679 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 5: and technique, and I'm trying to call things that I

263
00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 5: feel will have the best chance to give him rhythm throws,

264
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 5: but uh, you know, at the same time, just find

265
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 5: different types of throws that I know he I've seen

266
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 5: you know him hit and start stacking him. And then

267
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:30,679
Speaker 5: I will say I was really proud of the way

268
00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 5: he finished that drive, uh, throwing, throwing some completions, you

269
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,800
Speaker 5: know the fourth down, you know, they brought a kind

270
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 5: of different kind of zero than than what we saw.

271
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,480
Speaker 5: He sped it up to Addison and then we're able

272
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 5: to kind of finish that drive for a touchdown. Yeah,

273
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 5: So there's there's gonna be you know, with a with

274
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 5: a young quarterback, there's going to be a lot of

275
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 5: things that will will pinpoint and continue to highlight and

276
00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,679
Speaker 5: tie that preparation throughout the week and our plans to uh,

277
00:13:56,920 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 5: you know what he does well and and continue to

278
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 5: coach the things that where we feel the emphasis.

279
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 4: Needs to be on. But it's part of the young

280
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 4: QB journey.

281
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 5: It just results like today, and especially when you're able

282
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 5: to kind of fight through it all get the lead.

283
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 5: You would love to be making a lot of those

284
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 5: growth coaching points and development coaching points with a one

285
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 5: point win, but credit the Bears for getting it done

286
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 5: in the end.

287
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,360
Speaker 4: I mean you only had just.

288
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,200
Speaker 7: The one false start, but it goes from third and

289
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 7: two to thirty seven, that kind of a point where

290
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 7: you third two would.

291
00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 4: Have been good for you. Yeah, does that change your call?

292
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 7: Do you remember?

293
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:28,920
Speaker 5: Like what?

294
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:33,960
Speaker 9: Because see I think you threw kind of wild high.

295
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 4: I think it was.

296
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 5: It did not change the call other than the fact that,

297
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 5: you know, the the cadence changed a little bit. You know,

298
00:14:41,320 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 5: you know, we were on a smooth, quick cadence you know,

299
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 5: which in a lot of ways is essentially like walking

300
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: up to the line of scrimmage and saying said, hut,

301
00:14:50,160 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 5: not to give all of our information out there, but

302
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:57,240
Speaker 5: that's what you know. There's there's teams at different levels

303
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: of football that are that that run that cadence, and

304
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 5: and we, in a big moment, didn't didn't execute that.

305
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 5: It looked like our tackles got off the ball on

306
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 5: the cadence, and whether it was just not loud enough

307
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 5: or whatever it was, it looked like we were navigating

308
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 5: our way through the day without any of them after

309
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 5: the work that had been put in.

310
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 4: So that was very frustrating. Kevin.

311
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,440
Speaker 7: We mentioned a young quarterback journey and just what is

312
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,240
Speaker 7: the balance for you right now? Trying to manage that

313
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 7: with also just the result finals.

314
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's it's they're there.

315
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 5: You know, what's what's best for the young quarterback, what's

316
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 5: best for our offense, what's best for the team. That's

317
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 5: my job to manage all those things, and I've got

318
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 5: to do a better job of that.

319
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 4: What was your thought process today on that?

320
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 9: On that balance? Obviously I think sixteen to three at

321
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 9: some point there and he's really scuffling, and I mean,

322
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 9: I know you want to win the game too, so

323
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 9: like how do you kind of decide, Okay, he's going

324
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 9: to keep going or are we gonna.

325
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, it's all those things you're you're kind

326
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 5: of working through knowing that. Uh, you know, I think

327
00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,000
Speaker 5: when we got that that big time return from from

328
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 5: miles you know to score.

329
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,080
Speaker 4: You know, I ran it two times, you know.

330
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 5: Directly off of that sudden change, which is uh, which

331
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 5: is unique, you know if you're if you're looking back

332
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 5: over the the catalog over the years. But our guys

333
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 5: responded and put the ball on the end zone. So uh,

334
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 5: you know, I liked I liked the fact of how

335
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 5: our early downs matched with how we wanted to play

336
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 5: the game we didn't have I think we I think

337
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:29,880
Speaker 5: we had one the one pre snap that that Mark

338
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: was referencing, and then I think we had maybe one

339
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,640
Speaker 5: negative play all day. I can't I can't remember too

340
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 5: many times where I was kind of getting out of

341
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 5: the rhythm of what we wanted to get to. And

342
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 5: I think that's where some of the explosive plays chances

343
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 5: maybe presented themselves. And what you know, when you can

344
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 5: hit one or two of those, and we did. We

345
00:16:50,240 --> 00:16:51,640
Speaker 5: you know, we married up a couple of things and

346
00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 5: hit some play pass. Uh just you know, had a

347
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 5: few more opportunities, and you know, I didn't take advantage

348
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:00,960
Speaker 5: of them, and uh, they will be tremendous growth opportunities

349
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 5: from this tape for our whole team. It's not just

350
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 5: our young quarterback, for our whole team. But it's week eleven,

351
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 5: and you know, the the division games and the home

352
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 5: games and those things that are so important, you know,

353
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:15,200
Speaker 5: make you have to manage all those things to try

354
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 5: to just show up here today and try to go

355
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:17,160
Speaker 5: one to.

356
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 4: Know, and that's not just at the start of the game,

357
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 4: that's throughout.

358
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 5: It's the second half when you're trying to navigate your

359
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,719
Speaker 5: way to just getting the lead and then you know,

360
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,520
Speaker 5: there was a great feeling there when we had it.

361
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 5: But like I said, credit them for finding a way

362
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 5: to win the game.

363
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 9: The finer point on, is there a level of performance

364
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,080
Speaker 9: that he would get the need to get to for

365
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 9: you to consider whether he's just to be replaced.

366
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 4: In the game. Yeah, I don't. I'm not going to

367
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 4: get into any of that right now.

368
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 6: Do you see a theme with any of the drops,

369
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 6: Like with any of the drops, like, is any of

370
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 6: that time to just passing game rhythm?

371
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,160
Speaker 3: You feel like in terms of time?

372
00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:54,639
Speaker 5: No, I mean, like I said, I would have to

373
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 5: go back and look at it, like what we're deeming,

374
00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 5: you know, a true drop versus you know, are the

375
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,399
Speaker 5: guys having to work, you know to make frame you know,

376
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 5: catches consistently outside the frame of the body. I mean,

377
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 5: I thought some of some of our best completions of

378
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 5: the day, you know, we're we're well thrown footballs and

379
00:18:12,960 --> 00:18:15,080
Speaker 5: guys made some plays for him as well. You know,

380
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,280
Speaker 5: maybe on some plays were either we were you know,

381
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:21,000
Speaker 5: a little out in front or a little it got

382
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,280
Speaker 5: away from us a little bit. But I think it

383
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:26,080
Speaker 5: still just comes back to you know, each individual play

384
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 5: is going to be magnified, especially when you are you know,

385
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 5: running things and setting things up and you know, trying

386
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:36,520
Speaker 5: to maintain a rhythm for the For the offense, part

387
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,880
Speaker 5: of maintaining that is just finding a way to pitch

388
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 5: and catch on a couple of those looks where maybe

389
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:43,280
Speaker 5: you get what you want, maybe you don't, but when

390
00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 5: you do, you know it's the pitch and catch element

391
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,840
Speaker 5: that has kind of made this offense you know, you know,

392
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:51,880
Speaker 5: kind of fit. So continue to strive for that and

393
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 5: learn huge like I said, huge growth learning opportunity out

394
00:18:55,200 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 5: in front of us. That doesn't make any of this easier,

395
00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,840
Speaker 5: but at the same time, it is. It is the truth,

396
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:05,000
Speaker 5: and we'll continue to coach as hard as we possibly can.

397
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 5: And I know for a fact everybody on our team

398
00:19:07,160 --> 00:19:09,840
Speaker 5: is going to continue to work like crazy to try

399
00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 5: to go one And know every week, if.

400
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,680
Speaker 8: You said earlier this week, sometimes you get a heat

401
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 8: of battle, bad habits creep back in. Is that so

402
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 8: that means fundamentals and that's why you're constantly saying feet,

403
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 8: knives and bounce.

404
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's you know, whether it's just the initial posture

405
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 5: where we've just learned that when he has great posture,

406
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:30,240
Speaker 5: you know, at the top of drops, he throws the

407
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 5: ball really well.

408
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,840
Speaker 4: He did it Friday, did it Thursday?

409
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 5: I think I even referenced on Friday the type of

410
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 5: practices we had. Uh, it's a consistency factor of a

411
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 5: you know, navigating through four quarters of a game.

412
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 4: You know, when you when you.

413
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 5: You maybe miss one and feel some push here somewhere

414
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 5: in an NFL pocket. That's what it is every single Sunday,

415
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 5: for every single player that plays a position in this league.

416
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 5: And then on top of that you start talking about

417
00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 5: pocket movement and what is a pocket movement. It's continuing

418
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:03,479
Speaker 5: to try to you exhaust your progression or maintain number one.

419
00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 5: You know, if there's a little bit of movement here

420
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 5: and there, and how do I get and contain it?

421
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 5: Continue to have that posture while there is a you know,

422
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 5: a place in the pocket to work through it. And

423
00:20:13,040 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 5: then if you're gonna get moved off the spot, like

424
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:18,680
Speaker 5: what happens to many quarterbacks, you you know, move off

425
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 5: the spot and find your checkdown elements or make a

426
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 5: play with your legs working off schedule play. There's there's

427
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 5: the you know, we've got to continue to get better

428
00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,040
Speaker 5: at the the play as is as it's called, and

429
00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:32,520
Speaker 5: we've certainly seen him use his athleticism to make some

430
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:35,240
Speaker 5: plays as well. But to me, it comes down to

431
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 5: a lot of core principles of just, you know, consistently

432
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 5: every snap, whether it's number one all the way to

433
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 5: you know, however many we got today fifty four which

434
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:47,719
Speaker 5: isn't enough, but one through fifty four, we control what

435
00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:51,240
Speaker 5: we can from a standpoint of techniques and fundamentals and

436
00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 5: our decision making.

437
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,920
Speaker 7: Did you see any trouble with his fundamentalsson Michigan. Is

438
00:20:56,960 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 7: this something that came about sitting out in.

439
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: Here or no.

440
00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:04,480
Speaker 5: I think it's just, you know, I I think the

441
00:21:04,480 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 5: the element of you know, moving forward into you know,

442
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 5: an NFL offense and and uh, you know, just the

443
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,280
Speaker 5: types of throws, the tighter hashes, the more space in the.

444
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,679
Speaker 4: Middle of the field. The game's different.

445
00:21:15,840 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 5: But but no, I I thought some of some of

446
00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 5: his most impactful plays were on some of those weighty

447
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 5: downs and and he's had some very impactful plays on

448
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 5: those weighty downs for us as well. Just looking for

449
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 5: the consistency factor to be, you know, from a standpoint

450
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 5: of just.

451
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:35,639
Speaker 4: What is what is my job? What what am I

452
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:36,399
Speaker 4: being asked to do?

453
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 5: And and and when he when we start there and

454
00:21:39,080 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 5: we check those boxes, there's normally been some good, good

455
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,120
Speaker 5: football that follows.

456
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 4: And that's just the journey in the path of a

457
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:48,679
Speaker 4: young player learning that lesson and and and applying it

458
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:49,560
Speaker 4: as we move forward.

459
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 9: Here, just get out, have a guy out of his

460
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 9: way there.

461
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, I got to take a look at it.

462
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,680
Speaker 5: You know, those are always tough for me to judge,

463
00:21:58,320 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 5: but yeah, that was a massive, massive play in a

464
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,440
Speaker 5: day where the special teams units have had had had

465
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 5: such a role in helping us win the field position battle.

466
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,440
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, I think our average drive start

467
00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:13,680
Speaker 5: was the thirty two, and there were some quality returns

468
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,199
Speaker 5: that that you know, that contributed to that. I think

469
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,720
Speaker 5: we had one holding call that forced us to start

470
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 5: a little bit backed up on a nice return by

471
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 5: by Miles. But then that one play, and it's just

472
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:28,080
Speaker 5: the nature of when you're losing the turnover battle and

473
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,359
Speaker 5: and maybe you're leaving some plays out there, your margin

474
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: of error becomes very razor thin for your whole team.

475
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 4: And that just.

476
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,520
Speaker 5: Becomes each and every snap, no matter whether it's offense, defense,

477
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 5: or in.

478
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 4: The kicking game, are massive and one.

479
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: Play, one play that they make or one play that

480
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,000
Speaker 5: you don't could could alter your chances of winning the game.

481
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,480
Speaker 2: Does it feel like it's been harder to hang on

482
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 2: to momentum like either game to game or.

483
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 7: In that instance Free particularly the one play later they

484
00:22:57,960 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 7: had the.

485
00:22:58,200 --> 00:22:59,000
Speaker 3: Momentum right back.

486
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:01,359
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, you could feel it in the building,

487
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 5: you know, when we're and you could feel the momentum.

488
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 5: It's a great way to describe it. When JJ throws

489
00:23:08,359 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 5: the touchdown Jordan two minute drill. You know, as I

490
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 5: told him earlier in the game, no matter what this

491
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 5: day has been like, I'm going to tell you at

492
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 5: the end of this you just you just move the

493
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,120
Speaker 5: ball down the field to help us win this game.

494
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: And I'm proud of you.

495
00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 5: And I told him that just once again. The result

496
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 5: the result didn't end up staying seventeen sixteen, and they

497
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 5: beat us by making them play there and then making

498
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 5: the kick.

499
00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,760
Speaker 1: All right, So before we head into Sunday evening and

500
00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:39,880
Speaker 1: we get into nine to noon on the flagship KFA

501
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 1: and tomorrow you at ten o'clock every Monday, what do

502
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,639
Speaker 1: you think the fan base related response is going to

503
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: be from the running game or lack thereof, because personally

504
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,359
Speaker 1: speaking from an organic standpoint, having not looked back at

505
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, any box counts or you know, any of

506
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,239
Speaker 1: the super special particular NFL stuff, it felt like they

507
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,119
Speaker 1: gave the running game and honest tried today.

508
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they had to. I think, you know, the running

509
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,359
Speaker 2: game kind of bounced back in the fourth quarter and

510
00:24:08,400 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: that's when JJ McCarthy is passer rating was was close

511
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: to single digits. It was only twelve thirteen somewhere hovering

512
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,920
Speaker 2: around there. They had to run the football and they

513
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 2: did so to get one hundred and fifteen yards on

514
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,320
Speaker 2: the ground. We talked, you know the Bears. The Bears

515
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 2: had only forced twenty three punts all season, and I

516
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 2: think they forced six or seven today by the Minnesota Vikings.

517
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 2: So running the football I thought was going to be

518
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 2: a pillar of what the offense was going to try

519
00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 2: to do. We got to it late because I think

520
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,879
Speaker 2: we had to, and it worked well. So, you know,

521
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,560
Speaker 2: Aaron Jones, you know, Jordan Mason. Great job by those

522
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 2: guys on the ground, the offensive line, Will Fryes being

523
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 2: very very physical. I like that part of it. Upfront

524
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 2: protection was pretty good for the most part all day long. Really,

525
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 2: it's like the things that have haunted us in the past.

526
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 2: You know, we're overcoming them, but so you got to

527
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,119
Speaker 2: keep going. But you can't and you can't give up

528
00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:07,800
Speaker 2: the progress that you've made in protection and in penalties

529
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,040
Speaker 2: and everything else. It's a matter of again turning just

530
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:13,840
Speaker 2: not turning the football over, and being a little bit

531
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 2: more accurate from the quarterback position and hitting these guys

532
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:19,960
Speaker 2: when they are open and catching the ball when you're open.

533
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, that right there is is kind of

534
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 2: hit that would have won the football game today.

535
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,000
Speaker 1: Before we hear from the quarterback, let me ask you

536
00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: a question about JJ McCarthy. Sixteen to thirty two. He

537
00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 1: goes for one hundred and fifty yards, a touchdown, and

538
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: two picks. He had no runs today. Your thoughts.

539
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,159
Speaker 2: I don't think that they want him to be a

540
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:43,439
Speaker 2: scrambling quarterback. I didn't see him getting out of the

541
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:45,520
Speaker 2: pocket very much. We didn't have a lot of bootlegs

542
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:47,200
Speaker 2: or anything like that that would give him a run

543
00:25:47,200 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 2: pass option. So I don't know if there are very

544
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,119
Speaker 2: many opportunities there, Paul. You know, this defense was very,

545
00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 2: very aggressive. Dennis Allen is known for blitzing, and he

546
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: he will, He'll do it repeatedly, over and over and

547
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 2: over again.

548
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 4: Yep.

549
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 2: And so I think they attacked it the right way.

550
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,080
Speaker 1: Well, they blitzed a lot late and paid for it,

551
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 1: they did.

552
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 3: And so.

553
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you want to try to get the

554
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 2: most you can out of a young quarterback by calling

555
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:17,640
Speaker 2: runs and doing those things, because you're going to put

556
00:26:17,640 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 2: his health at risk and a bunch of other things

557
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: we saw with Jackson Dart. You have him here to

558
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,399
Speaker 2: end to be a passer, to be a pocket passer,

559
00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 2: to be a team that can throw the ball thirty

560
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:31,600
Speaker 2: five times a game and put up two hundred and

561
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:32,680
Speaker 2: fifty to three hundred.

562
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 1: Yards through the air.

563
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: You have the receivers to do it. You're not going

564
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,280
Speaker 2: to do that by changing the style of offense and

565
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,360
Speaker 2: letting him run. But right now, I mean it's you're

566
00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: kind of stepping over a dollar to pick up a dime.

567
00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:45,639
Speaker 2: I think if you decide if you go that route.

568
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: Let's hear from Vikings quarterback J. J.

569
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 6: McCarthy absolutely sucks gut wrenching loss for us. You know,

570
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 6: got to give credit to our opponent. They had a

571
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,360
Speaker 6: great game plan, they played really well in all three phases,

572
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 6: and I need to do a better job my decision making,

573
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,359
Speaker 6: the accuracy it needs to change.

574
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 10: I need to be better and overall execution of the offense.

575
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:08,359
Speaker 6: I need to be better on just you know, doing

576
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 6: my job at a higher level.

577
00:27:09,600 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 3: So I'll open it up to any questions.

578
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 8: Why do you think your accuracy is so offering it?

579
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 6: The thing is just growing at the end of the day.

580
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 6: You know, there's a lot of things that I have

581
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:23,560
Speaker 6: to improve on, and accuracy is one of them. And

582
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 6: I promise you I'm going to wake up tomorrow and

583
00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 6: get ready to go to get working on that.

584
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:30,520
Speaker 8: Is it tied to mechanics you think primarily? Is it

585
00:27:30,560 --> 00:27:32,200
Speaker 8: tie to your mechanics primarily?

586
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 3: There's a bunch of different things. I think mechanics is

587
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 3: definitely a big part of it.

588
00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 6: And you know, I feel like, you know, it's just

589
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:43,200
Speaker 6: always a work in progress with everything at the quarterback position.

590
00:27:43,320 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 6: So just got to wake up tomorrow and get ready

591
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 6: to get back to work.

592
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 7: And what do you think sometimes things clicking the place,

593
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,960
Speaker 7: particularly at really good fourth quarters. I mean, it looked

594
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 7: like you were right on in that last rive.

595
00:27:57,280 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 10: I think overall, just as an offense.

596
00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,160
Speaker 6: You know, I just need to do a better job

597
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,320
Speaker 6: of making sure the rhythm stays there throughout entire sixty minutes.

598
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 6: You know, there's definitely things that we did well today,

599
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,400
Speaker 6: but how can we amplify those things? And how could

600
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 6: we eliminate the mistakes? And you know, I take full

601
00:28:13,840 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 6: responsibility for those mistakes, and I got to make sure

602
00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 6: that we come out tomorrow ready to get better.

603
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 3: Jujit, what was what were you.

604
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:21,840
Speaker 7: Telling yourself going out there for the last for the

605
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 7: last go ahead and dry.

606
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 3: It's just another drive.

607
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,720
Speaker 6: Obviously it's do our die in that moment, but just

608
00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 6: how can I remain poised, remain present and just worry

609
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 6: about the little things like my footwork and my fundamentals

610
00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,520
Speaker 6: and you know, take it each play by each play

611
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,239
Speaker 6: and we'll see where we get at the end of it.

612
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:41,760
Speaker 3: So, yeah, that was just the thought process. Dad.

613
00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 9: There was a point I think it was in the

614
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 9: third quarter when you missed the past to Justin I

615
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 9: think in third down and you ran up the field

616
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 9: her head here, and so what was kind of going

617
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 9: through your mind at that point?

618
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,440
Speaker 3: You just can't miss those. This league's too hard.

619
00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 6: You know, there's three or five decisions plays that I

620
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 6: want back more than anything, and you know that's one

621
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 6: of them. It's an opportunistic concept against an opportunistic defense, and.

622
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 3: I have to deliver. So I put that completely on me. Obviously.

623
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 1: Did it feel like some of the misthrows started the

624
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:13,400
Speaker 1: snowball at.

625
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 3: A certain point for you?

626
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 6: I never really felt the snowball, just because I'm worried

627
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 6: about that next throw and flushed the one that happened previously.

628
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 6: But you know, at the end of the day, whether

629
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 6: it's you know, five in a row, two in a row,

630
00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 6: one time, like I.

631
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 3: Just can't have it.

632
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,560
Speaker 10: You know, this league is too hard and I got

633
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 10: to be able to make those throws.

634
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 8: Use your hand at all.

635
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 3: Any issue today, no excuses, not an issue at all.

636
00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: It was fine.

637
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 7: Is the mechanics stuff, like, are you focusing on this

638
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,040
Speaker 7: more than maybe you thought you would have to at

639
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:42,480
Speaker 7: this point?

640
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:50,000
Speaker 6: No, I wouldn't say it's more than I thought or expected.

641
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:52,200
Speaker 6: You know, it's something that I've done my entire life,

642
00:29:52,360 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 6: and you know, it's just an NFL like it's that

643
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 6: one to two percent, you know, difference that really makes

644
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,200
Speaker 6: the biggest So it's just about the consistency of it

645
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:03,720
Speaker 6: is the biggest thing you're doing.

646
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:05,600
Speaker 8: Your first interception, you had a guy at your legs.

647
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,600
Speaker 8: Did that impact your thrower? Did you not see the

648
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:08,600
Speaker 8: guy undercut it there?

649
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:11,000
Speaker 3: I wasn't able to put everything I wanted on it.

650
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 6: But obviously with the rotating safety and playing two over

651
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,600
Speaker 6: the top, just have to be aware of that guy

652
00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,040
Speaker 6: and realize we have a flat element tying him down,

653
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 6: but coming from depth, he's going to be really hard

654
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:20,920
Speaker 6: for him to get.

655
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 3: Tied down by a running back.

656
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,800
Speaker 6: So just being aware another great learning lesson against the

657
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 6: coverage like that, and you know, should just check the

658
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 6: ball down to c J.

659
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 3: Hammond kept it moving.

660
00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,080
Speaker 1: Those are hards to keep this patience in the game,

661
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: but also big picture confident yourself.

662
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 4: No one was Kevin O'Connell.

663
00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 3: There could be better things down the road.

664
00:30:38,240 --> 00:30:39,640
Speaker 8: But how hard is that for you as a computer

665
00:30:40,040 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 8: to just stay that course?

666
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,280
Speaker 6: The one thing it's too hard for me because I'm

667
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 6: obsessed with the process. I'm obsessed with growing and getting better,

668
00:30:48,920 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 6: And you know, Ko's the same way, this entire group's

669
00:30:51,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 6: the same way. We just need to make it click

670
00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 6: on all three phases for sixty minutes and at the

671
00:30:57,560 --> 00:30:59,120
Speaker 6: end of the day. You know, this group is so

672
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 6: tight knit and so determined to just make sure we

673
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 6: get to that point. You know, something we could be

674
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 6: proud of every single Sunday when we leave the stadium.

675
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 6: So we're not there yet, especially as an offense, and

676
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 6: take full responsibility to help make sure we get there.

677
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 3: I'n do you have so.

678
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 7: Much success in high school and college and you have

679
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 7: some bumps in the road here now? How do you

680
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 7: process kind of the adversity that you just face on

681
00:31:22,600 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 7: the field here now?

682
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 6: And I think adversity is one of the greatest things

683
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 6: for individual growth, collective growth, whatever it is. And you know,

684
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 6: I think it could really separate teams. I bring them

685
00:31:33,440 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 6: tighter together. And I feel like this team's being brought

686
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,640
Speaker 6: tighter and tighter together each and every week.

687
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 3: But you know, we're just sick of losing.

688
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 6: Like we want wins every single week, and you know,

689
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,960
Speaker 6: we're just gonna do everything we can to make sure

690
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,320
Speaker 6: we get those. But adversity is inevitable in this league.

691
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 6: I understood that coming into it, and it's just about

692
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 6: how you respond.

693
00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 10: On the final drive, was there something from a technical

694
00:31:55,240 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 10: standpoint that it was clicking for you that wasn't early

695
00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 10: in the game.

696
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 6: I just feel like it really wasn't anything different. I

697
00:32:05,800 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 6: felt extremely prepared going into this game. I felt super

698
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 6: dialed in physically. It's just, you know, something I need

699
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:14,360
Speaker 6: to really figure out to make sure I keep this

700
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:18,480
Speaker 6: thing rolling for sixty minutes consistently. And uh yeah, it's just,

701
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:20,959
Speaker 6: you know, the way we can operate as an offense

702
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 6: when it does look like that, it's a lot of

703
00:32:22,560 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 6: fun and something that we're all striving for each and

704
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 6: every drive.

705
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 7: What went through your mind when you hurt Booze?

706
00:32:28,840 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 3: It's that one time when you hurt Boobs?

707
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 7: What went through your mind?

708
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 6: We got the greatest fans in the world, and they

709
00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 6: expect a lot more out of us, and rightfully so.

710
00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:39,960
Speaker 6: And I feel like, you know, it's just a reminder

711
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:41,840
Speaker 6: to us that we better get going and we better

712
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 6: figure this out. And you know, obviously, you know, don't

713
00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:46,520
Speaker 6: got a whole lot of games left, so the urgency

714
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 6: is at.

715
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:47,520
Speaker 3: An all time high.

716
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 10: But you know, we just got to be better for

717
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 10: the fans, especially at home.

718
00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 5: Just is it it's thanktual for you here in those

719
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 5: two minute drill situations, do you feel like you you

720
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 5: kind of lock in a little bit more and you're

721
00:32:58,120 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 5: able to just play football better.

722
00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 6: I feel like it's the same, you know, mental process

723
00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,520
Speaker 6: going into each and every drive, but obviously two minute

724
00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 6: situation it's a little bit different. How they're going to

725
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:11,160
Speaker 6: play it, how they're gonna call it, and just being

726
00:33:11,160 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 6: able to rely on the preparation that I had going

727
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 6: into it during those situations, because I spent an extensive

728
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:19,640
Speaker 6: amount of time on end a half, end of game

729
00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 6: situations like that, So it was really just the preparation

730
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 6: coming to fruition. But we got to make it come

731
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:27,360
Speaker 6: together on all, you know, three phases and.

732
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,360
