Steamroll? 23 00:01:32,719 --> 00:01:35,238 Speaker 6: Oh, they're a good team. You could feel that they're 24 00:01:35,239 --> 00:01:37,839 Speaker 6: a good team and they came and played like it 25 00:01:38,279 --> 00:01:40,919 Speaker 6: playoff team, but kind of like Dan said, last week, 26 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 6: we played a good team and you know, thinking we 27 00:01:43,359 --> 00:01:46,438 Speaker 6: kind of built some momentum off that and we just 28 00:01:46,479 --> 00:01:49,679 Speaker 6: didn't show it today. So it just sucks. So it's frustrating. 29 00:01:49,759 --> 00:01:52,119 Speaker 6: Like you said, I can feel it and just don't 30 00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:53,599 Speaker 6: every want to go out there and put no tape 31 00:01:53,599 --> 00:01:55,439 Speaker 6: on the feel like that. You know, we going forward 32 00:01:55,519 --> 00:02:00,039 Speaker 6: and fourth down and not converting and it just was 33 00:02:00,039 --> 00:02:01,959 Speaker 6: a weird game, but just got to be better. 34 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:05,999 Speaker 3: Kendrick, do you feel like the coaching staff had you 35 00:02:05,999 --> 00:02:08,119 Speaker 3: guys prepared well enough for the game today? 36 00:02:08,559 --> 00:02:09,118 Speaker 5: Yeah?

I think it 39 00:02:11,079 --> 00:02:13,879 Speaker 6: was a different week. We had to make adjustments. Obviously 40 00:02:14,559 --> 00:02:17,198 Speaker 6: a short week, so they kind of did the best 41 00:02:17,239 --> 00:02:18,839 Speaker 6: they can to keep us fresh and stuff like that, 42 00:02:18,918 --> 00:02:21,959 Speaker 6: so didn't get a lot of full speed reps trying 43 00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:24,399 Speaker 6: to take care of our bodies, and I think that 44 00:02:24,599 --> 00:02:27,639 Speaker 6: kind of, you know, it makes it tough. But mentally 45 00:02:27,679 --> 00:02:30,479 Speaker 6: we were prepared, so we knew the game plan. We 46 00:02:30,559 --> 00:02:33,638 Speaker 6: had a good game plan and just got to execute better. 47 00:02:36,319 --> 00:02:36,439 Speaker 5: Uh. 48 00:02:36,519 --> 00:02:39,559 Speaker 1: With with what you said and everything you've said, Obviously 49 00:02:39,599 --> 00:02:41,719 Speaker 1: you guys like to you know, wash it and flush 50 00:02:41,758 --> 00:02:44,239 Speaker 1: it out a loss. But this is the final week, 51 00:02:44,279 --> 00:02:46,919 Speaker 1: the final chance for players to show, the final coaching 52 00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,319 Speaker 1: staff to show what do you expect the focus to 53 00:02:49,359 --> 00:02:51,239 Speaker 1: be like with this year team during the week and 54 00:02:51,279 --> 00:02:52,999 Speaker 1: what do you expect it to be like next Sunday. 55 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 6: Yeah, division game. You know, we just played them last week, 56 00:02:56,479 --> 00:03:00,239 Speaker 6: so I'm very familiar with what they do. I kind 57 00:03:00,239 --> 00:03:02,719 Speaker 6: of said it last week. We always play good against Buffalo. 58 00:03:02,758 --> 00:03:05,439 Speaker 6: It seems like we have a different sense of urgency. 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,599 Speaker 6: I wish we just could have at today, But just 60 00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:11,839 Speaker 6: going in a week, you know, working game planning, getting 61 00:03:11,839 --> 00:03:14,639 Speaker 6: our bodies prepared for a good opponent. I don't know 62 00:03:14,679 --> 00:03:16,759 Speaker 6: where they stand in the playoffs standing or whatever, but 63 00:03:16,959 --> 00:03:18,879 Speaker 6: just trying to, you know, make it tough for them 64 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,439 Speaker 6: and not just think they can come in here and 65 00:03:20,479 --> 00:03:22,478 Speaker 6: just walk over. It's kind of like what happened today, 66 00:03:22,519 --> 00:03:24,798 Speaker 6: So trying to avoid kind of what happened. 67 00:03:24,599 --> 00:03:30,638 Speaker 9: Today, Kendrick. We can from from the outside the organization, 68 00:03:30,758 --> 00:03:33,679 Speaker 9: we can hear the frustration from the fans audible during 69 00:03:33,719 --> 00:03:37,999 Speaker 9: the game. What what can fans what they're not seeing? 70 00:03:38,079 --> 00:03:39,959 Speaker 9: What are they not seeing? Behind the scenes from the 71 00:03:39,999 --> 00:03:42,199 Speaker 9: coaching staff and what players are putting in. They give 72 00:03:42,239 --> 00:03:44,599 Speaker 9: you faith that the team can put it back together 73 00:03:44,679 --> 00:03:46,279 Speaker 9: next week and in the future. 74 00:03:46,959 --> 00:03:48,799 Speaker 6: I think it's just a be patient kind of thing. 75 00:03:48,839 --> 00:03:52,319 Speaker 6: You know, it's a process and it just doesn't happen overnight. 76 00:03:52,399 --> 00:03:55,759 Speaker 6: So we have a job to do as players, as 77 00:03:55,839 --> 00:03:57,639 Speaker 6: and the staff have a job to do. And I think, 78 00:03:58,519 --> 00:04:00,319 Speaker 6: you know, looking in the future, not trying to look 79 00:04:00,359 --> 00:04:02,919 Speaker 6: too far ahead, but that's what they're doing, you know, 80 00:04:02,999 --> 00:04:04,799 Speaker 6: trying to evaluate who's going to be here, who's not, 81 00:04:04,999 --> 00:04:08,799 Speaker 6: And that's how his business works.

And then when 106 00:05:09,999 --> 00:05:11,438 Speaker 10: the ball was in the air, I was like, man, 107 00:05:11,438 --> 00:05:14,319 Speaker 10: I gotta make this play. You know, I don't get 108 00:05:14,479 --> 00:05:16,079 Speaker 10: you know, a lot of targets, so you know, when 109 00:05:16,119 --> 00:05:19,638 Speaker 10: it comes, I gotta make that play. 110 00:05:21,318 --> 00:05:23,639 Speaker 3: Drake obviously had to leave for the early or in 111 00:05:23,678 --> 00:05:26,639 Speaker 3: early portion of the game there, Pop, were you surprised 112 00:05:26,719 --> 00:05:29,239 Speaker 3: he came back?

He's a dog man. 115 00:05:34,359 --> 00:05:36,719 Speaker 10: And how he went down I was. I thought he 116 00:05:36,759 --> 00:05:38,399 Speaker 10: would be out, you know, with a concussion. But when 117 00:05:38,399 --> 00:05:40,399 Speaker 10: I seen him come to the side and I was like, okay, man, 118 00:05:40,438 --> 00:05:43,118 Speaker 10: this man is a dog you know. You know, despite that, 119 00:05:43,159 --> 00:05:45,079 Speaker 10: we was already losing this stuff for sure. 120 00:05:47,678 --> 00:05:49,839 Speaker 7: Can you tell us what happened on the play where 121 00:05:49,919 --> 00:05:51,878 Speaker 7: it looked like maybe you were getting the ball pitch 122 00:05:51,958 --> 00:05:53,399 Speaker 7: to what happened on that. 123 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,678 Speaker 5: Uh, honestly, can't really tell. 124 00:05:57,239 --> 00:06:00,398 Speaker 10: But I think the edge was like really, I think 125 00:06:00,438 --> 00:06:03,078 Speaker 10: that d long and you know, everybody was actually coming, 126 00:06:03,159 --> 00:06:05,399 Speaker 10: so I think everything had to happen faster. 127 00:06:09,318 --> 00:06:11,919 Speaker 9: Pop, what's your opinion in terms of why the disconnect 128 00:06:12,198 --> 00:06:12,879 Speaker 9: with this team? 129 00:06:13,479 --> 00:06:14,079 Speaker 1: Last week? 130 00:06:14,438 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 5: You had that kind of effort.

Why did disconnect? 134 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,519 Speaker 10: I just the charge of probably they probably wanted it more, 135 00:06:26,678 --> 00:06:29,639 Speaker 10: you know, Uh, they I think they needed this game 136 00:06:29,678 --> 00:06:31,438 Speaker 10: to know, get to the playoffs. And I feel like 137 00:06:31,558 --> 00:06:35,319 Speaker 10: this this game that they came in, they played complimentary football, 138 00:06:35,519 --> 00:06:37,679 Speaker 10: you know, all around, and I feel like that's what 139 00:06:37,799 --> 00:06:40,038 Speaker 10: we felt that we didn't play complimentary football, you know, 140 00:06:40,078 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 10: and defense gotta stop. We didn't you know, go score 141 00:06:43,078 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 10: and you know the other way around.

We 213 00:10:01,399 --> 00:10:03,838 Speaker 11: never got any momentum, and you know, we seem to 214 00:10:03,879 --> 00:10:05,639 Speaker 11: be a team that we get in a momentum early, 215 00:10:05,839 --> 00:10:08,838 Speaker 11: we don't know how to fight back and so just 216 00:10:09,159 --> 00:10:11,599 Speaker 11: learning how to get momentum earlier and continue that through 217 00:10:11,599 --> 00:10:12,199 Speaker 11: the game. 218 00:10:14,199 --> 00:10:17,919 Speaker 8: John, Coach Mayo and the staff, I'm just curious from 219 00:10:17,919 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 8: being behind the walls where we can't go, what are 220 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:23,399 Speaker 8: you seeing that would give you hope. You know that 221 00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:27,439 Speaker 8: this staff is the staff that to turn this thing around. 222 00:10:28,479 --> 00:10:29,719 Speaker 5: I'll take it back to last week. 223 00:10:30,479 --> 00:10:32,159 Speaker 11: I think we did a good job of getting prepared, 224 00:10:32,199 --> 00:10:35,119 Speaker 11: being ready to play you know, a high caliber team. 225 00:10:35,359 --> 00:10:37,519 Speaker 11: I think they've they've done a good job, you know, 226 00:10:37,919 --> 00:10:40,319 Speaker 11: this whole season. But I think as players, you know, 227 00:10:40,359 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 11: we've come up short. Some coaches have come up short, 228 00:10:43,239 --> 00:10:44,799 Speaker 11: you know, and being honest, we all, you know, all 229 00:10:44,839 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 11: have and so we all take accountability on you know, 230 00:10:47,599 --> 00:10:48,759 Speaker 11: the season that we put out there. 231 00:10:52,279 --> 00:10:56,679 Speaker 9: John, you mentioned earlier the team's struggles with trailing early 232 00:10:56,719 --> 00:10:58,639 Speaker 9: in games. I mean, guys don't have momentum. What do 233 00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:02,359 Speaker 9: you think is lacking from the team in regards to 234 00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,199 Speaker 9: its ability to get back in the games. And why 235 00:11:04,199 --> 00:11:06,359 Speaker 9: do you think you're struggling when you do fall behind. 236 00:11:08,399 --> 00:11:10,519 Speaker 11: We always talk about complimentary football, and I think people 237 00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,039 Speaker 11: think of you know, offense, defense to special teams, but 238 00:11:13,599 --> 00:11:16,119 Speaker 11: just energy, you know, it's an unwritten factor of how 239 00:11:16,199 --> 00:11:19,039 Speaker 11: much momentum energy carries over. You know, make a big 240 00:11:19,079 --> 00:11:21,039 Speaker 11: stop on defense and then get the ball back, make 241 00:11:21,079 --> 00:11:23,479 Speaker 11: a you know, score when you get the first possession 242 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:27,199 Speaker 11: on offense. Just things like that that you know, continue 243 00:11:27,239 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 11: to push you through the game. And so when we 244 00:11:29,359 --> 00:11:31,559 Speaker 11: can do those things early, you know, we have success. 245 00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:33,159 Speaker 11: And I think, you know, I don't want to use 246 00:11:33,199 --> 00:11:35,319 Speaker 11: the same excuse everyone else. It's a young team, but 247 00:11:35,359 --> 00:11:37,519 Speaker 11: it's just learning that everything's not going to go your way, 248 00:11:37,639 --> 00:11:39,639 Speaker 11: you know, and that's in in football in life, and 249 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:41,958 Speaker 11: how you respond to that adversity is what type of 250 00:11:41,999 --> 00:11:42,679 Speaker 11: team you're going to have. 251 00:11:44,439 --> 00:11:47,639 Speaker 4: Hey, Jonathan, understanding you don't have the benefit of film 252 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,119 Speaker 4: review at this point, but when you go back and 253 00:11:50,159 --> 00:11:53,559 Speaker 4: process third and fourth down in particular, what was the 254 00:11:53,639 --> 00:11:57,359 Speaker 4: key to the Chargers efficiency in those spots to prolong drives, 255 00:11:57,839 --> 00:12:00,399 Speaker 4: especially when they had the ball maybe in poor field 256 00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:01,519 Speaker 4: position from their standpoint. 257 00:12:02,159 --> 00:12:04,839 Speaker 11: Yeah, uh, they did a good job of game planning 258 00:12:04,999 --> 00:12:09,799 Speaker 11: of I'm being honest with you. They set a lot 259 00:12:09,839 --> 00:12:12,599 Speaker 11: of picks, you know, a lot early man coverage, and 260 00:12:12,639 --> 00:12:14,559 Speaker 11: even we were able to be in zone, you know, 261 00:12:14,599 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 11: to try to pass off some some picks, they were 262 00:12:16,319 --> 00:12:18,559 Speaker 11: able to kind of check the ball down, being manageable 263 00:12:18,599 --> 00:12:20,039 Speaker 11: third and fourth downs to you know, get it in 264 00:12:20,119 --> 00:12:23,759 Speaker 11: zone coverage and so just having they had a really 265 00:12:23,799 --> 00:12:25,839 Speaker 11: really good game plan on some of the things that 266 00:12:25,879 --> 00:12:27,999 Speaker 11: they did. A lot of them were one hitters that 267 00:12:28,079 --> 00:12:31,279 Speaker 11: they you know, found the success in the red area play. 268 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,039 Speaker 9: Where uh the lad. 269 00:12:34,839 --> 00:12:37,239 Speaker 11: He circles in the go acrosser and then circles back. 270 00:12:37,279 --> 00:12:38,599 Speaker 11: That was one here for him. You know, if it 271 00:12:38,639 --> 00:12:40,599 Speaker 11: didn't hit on that, they got the right coverage, right call, 272 00:12:40,999 --> 00:12:45,039 Speaker 11: and you know they were able to have some success. 273 00:12:43,599 --> 00:12:48,759 Speaker 3: Would you think of the matchup with with Lad mccaukeay today, 274 00:12:48,799 --> 00:12:50,958 Speaker 3: What made him a challenge? Jonathan? It looked like at 275 00:12:50,959 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 3: one point you guys were kind of getting into it 276 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,319 Speaker 3: a little bit after the whistle. Any frustration there in 277 00:12:55,399 --> 00:12:57,279 Speaker 3: terms of following him around. 278 00:12:57,559 --> 00:12:59,999 Speaker 11: Yeah, No, they use him kind of like you know 279 00:13:00,119 --> 00:13:02,799 Speaker 11: Los Angeles does, you know with their guys, their motions, 280 00:13:02,839 --> 00:13:05,479 Speaker 11: setting picks and every play you're fighting through, you're fighting 281 00:13:05,519 --> 00:13:07,959 Speaker 11: through picks, you're fighting through motions. That's something they do, 282 00:13:07,999 --> 00:13:11,639 Speaker 11: you know, a good job of. And so we knew 283 00:13:11,639 --> 00:13:13,319 Speaker 11: that was going to be you know, something they did. 284 00:13:13,799 --> 00:13:15,519 Speaker 11: They just did a did a very very good job of, 285 00:13:15,599 --> 00:13:18,639 Speaker 11: like I said, sending picks, getting the timing down. You know, 286 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:21,919 Speaker 11: I think on the first third down that they missed him. 287 00:13:21,919 --> 00:13:23,639 Speaker 11: Having to force it out early kind of led to 288 00:13:23,639 --> 00:13:25,838 Speaker 11: that one being incomplete. But they did a good job, 289 00:13:25,879 --> 00:13:27,959 Speaker 11: you know, setting a lot of screens depending on how 290 00:13:27,999 --> 00:13:30,679 Speaker 11: we were trying to align in man coverage. 291 00:13:31,839 --> 00:13:34,039 Speaker 7: John, you've been at this for a long time.

I mean, we can't 298 00:13:52,639 --> 00:13:54,159 Speaker 11: go back into the season. We have to take it 299 00:13:54,159 --> 00:13:56,519 Speaker 11: from where we are right now, move forward. You know, 300 00:13:56,519 --> 00:13:59,879 Speaker 11: we have one opportunity for all of us, you know, coaches, players, everybody, 301 00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:02,279 Speaker 11: you know, next week, you know, to put it put 302 00:14:02,279 --> 00:14:04,599 Speaker 11: a good product out there.
