1 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to this Week fifteen postgame edition of the From 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: the Podium podcast. I'm Gabe Kolera. The Browns fell in 3 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: Week fifteen to the Kansas City Chiefs by a final 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 1: score of twenty one to seven. On this episode, you'll 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 1: hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski, quarterback Jamis Winston, and 6 00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: defensive end Miles Garrett. We start with head coach Kevin Stefanski, 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,440 Speaker 1: who gave an injury update following the game against the Chiefs. 8 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:28,200 Speaker 2: Okay, injury front MJ has a concussion, Miles has got 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 2: poked in the eye. Shelby Harris has an elbow injury. 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: Nick Chubb broke his foot unfortunately, So obviously very disappointed 11 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:41,040 Speaker 2: for Nick. And it's tough, but you know, that game 12 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:46,520 Speaker 2: is that's you. You cannot turn the ball over six 13 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,280 Speaker 2: times and expect to win any football game at any level. 14 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: It's hard enough to turn over once versus a very 15 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 2: good football team. So I'm extremely disappointed that we did that. 16 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: You know, our defense played I thought really well, forced 17 00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 2: a punt early, we muffed the punt and they get 18 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: the ball on a short field. So we've the what 19 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,400 Speaker 2: we're doing in terms of adding a degree of difficulty 20 00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:10,120 Speaker 2: to to how we're playing is really it's tough to 21 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:12,959 Speaker 2: win until we knock that out. Uh, it's gonna be 22 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 2: hard to win. It's not a question of effort, it's 23 00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 2: not a question of how we're working. We just have 24 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,560 Speaker 2: to take care of the football better. And and it's 25 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 2: a it's everybody, it's not one person. It's not about 26 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: one side of the ball. It's a it's a team loss. 27 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 2: But it's really frustrating because you're just not going to 28 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 2: win any games doing that. With that, I'll take any questions. 29 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 3: Is Jamie still your starting quarterback? 30 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:38,240 Speaker 4: We're not going to get into any decisions right now. 31 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 5: Given the fact that he's now thrown you know, three 32 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 5: interceptions in three different games, twelve overall eight and the 33 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 5: last three. 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 6: I mean, why do any time to move it. 35 00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: Over to I think with any decision Mary Kay, I'll 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,400 Speaker 2: obviously work through those type of things. 37 00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 4: This is not about one person. I will make that 38 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:56,160 Speaker 4: very clear. 39 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:56,640 Speaker 7: Uh. 40 00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: Jamis uh, you know, does a great job preparing for 41 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 2: these games. He's fighting his tail off and I appreciate 42 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 2: that from him. But we'll make that decision later. Do 43 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 2: you see any common thread in these continued turnovers. Kevin, 44 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 2: I think all of them are a little are different. Jeff, 45 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960 Speaker 2: I think you have to learn from each one. But 46 00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 2: the bottom line, and I think everybody knows this is 47 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,000 Speaker 2: you can't make it hard. 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 4: On yourself, and we're making it hard on ourselves right now. 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 5: Is there any shot at all that you would think 50 00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 5: about giving Bailey a chance? 51 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: I would say all those type of decisions, Mary cap 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,160 Speaker 2: I need to work through everything. 53 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,840 Speaker 8: Kevin, this week fifteen, you had five or six lining 54 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 8: up related penalties. 55 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:41,280 Speaker 3: Why does that continue to be a. 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 2: Problem, Well, it's a problem today. Certainly, that's a I 57 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160 Speaker 2: would take an issue with a few of them. Darryl, 58 00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 2: I'll look at him and we'll respond appropriately. You know, 59 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:57,919 Speaker 2: we haven't had a penalty on special teams in a 60 00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,520 Speaker 2: long time and had a few today. So we knew 61 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 2: that crew Is throws a lot of flags going in 62 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,360 Speaker 2: this game. That's something that we knew, and they got 63 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 2: They lived up to their reputation. 64 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: Kevin, was a decision to go with Dorian because Jamis 65 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 3: had thrown the three pigs, yes, and those two into 66 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,680 Speaker 3: the end zone. Did you feel like you're just forcing 67 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: it looked like the one who's double coverage and then yeah. 68 00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 4: And again trying to make a play. There's that fine line. 69 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,799 Speaker 4: I get it, but we just have to do a 70 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 4: better job taking care of it. 71 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 3: Jerome Ford, you know, fighting this silver line. Any great 72 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 3: called Jerome Ford, both on return and running the ball 73 00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 3: seems to you know, he seems to have found a 74 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 3: rhythm that maybe had been lacking for a little for 75 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 3: part of the year. 76 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,320 Speaker 2: Certainly needed a spark. I thought he provided it there. 77 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 2: I was second and long and he, you know, takes 78 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: a draw and goes the whole way. I thought Mike 79 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 2: Woods had a really critical block on that play. But 80 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 2: Jerome has definitely given us a spark. 81 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: You know, anything more about Knicks, like how it happened, 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: how long. 83 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 4: He could be I believe he got stepped on. But 84 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 4: that's I don't I. 85 00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 3: Mean, I know we ask you all the time, but 86 00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 3: the fact that he comes back from the knee and 87 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 3: then to not be able to finish the season, how 88 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 3: devastating he's ask for him? 89 00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 2: You well, I think with Nick, the fact you know, 90 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: I've got I've told you guys this before, but I've 91 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,719 Speaker 2: gotten to be I have a first row seat to 92 00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: what he's been able to do. I can't tell you 93 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: how much I respect him as a person, what he 94 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 2: means this football team. So really really disappointed about this injury, 95 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 2: does not change the fact that he's continues to inspire 96 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:41,120 Speaker 2: this football team with how he approaches every single day. 97 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,280 Speaker 2: And I know this is just another, but you know, 98 00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 2: another obstacle that he will overcome. 99 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 5: As far as Dorian is concerned, getting thrown into a 100 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 5: game like that, in that situation, can he be expected 101 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 5: to really get things going or is or should. 102 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 6: He also not be thrown a back? 103 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: I think obviously when you come in at times as 104 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: a backup, whether it's backup quarterback or otherwise, you get 105 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 2: thrown in some tough spots. That's the truth. As a 106 00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: backup quarterback, you have to be ready to go. We 107 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: have to learn from every single player out there. 108 00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:16,120 Speaker 3: Jerry broke a thousand yards pretty season in four thousand 109 00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,239 Speaker 3: in his career just over the course of the season, 110 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: and how you could see him and just find his 111 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: rhythm in this offense. 112 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought Jerry continues to just help this football 113 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:28,320 Speaker 2: team move the ball. I think there's definitely opportunities where 114 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: he can help us even more. And he's a very 115 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 2: friendly target for the quarterbacks. He's finding ways to get 116 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 2: open in a variety of ways. 117 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,680 Speaker 5: Was there a chance that David was actually going to 118 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 5: be able to play today? And how much did James 119 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:40,120 Speaker 5: not to have him? 120 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:44,159 Speaker 2: And said, yeah, Dave pushed really hard this week to 121 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 2: make it back. Just didn't want to see how he 122 00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 2: responded over the last twenty four to forty eight hours 123 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 2: and just didn't get there. And yeah, it's tough not 124 00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:53,760 Speaker 2: having him, and said out there, but we trust the 125 00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 2: guys that are out there. 126 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,119 Speaker 3: What are you thinking when Miles rips off his helmet 127 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 3: and goes face. 128 00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,160 Speaker 4: Down and then yeah, I was for sure. 129 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't sure or what was exactly what it was, 130 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 2: so getting out there pretty quickly, they told me it 131 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 2: was the eye and thank god he's okay. 132 00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 3: And I know we didn't ever say to me, but 133 00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 3: it felt like he was. 134 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 4: Really he was close. I thought we were close. 135 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: I thought the defense really executed the game plan well, 136 00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 2: played hard, got our hands on some footballs that the 137 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,359 Speaker 2: quarterback made some amazing plays like he does. You know, 138 00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,159 Speaker 2: I thought we had him dead to rights a few times. 139 00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: I'll go back to the Miles injury. How exactly did it. 140 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 9: I don't know. 141 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,479 Speaker 4: Yeah, I didn't see it. I'm not sure. 142 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 3: Why do you guys wind up making the decision to 143 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: go with Riley instead of Dustin? 144 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 2: Like I told you, guys, Dustin's our kicker, and I 145 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,719 Speaker 2: told him and I've told him this, and I'll told you. 146 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:41,880 Speaker 4: Guys, we're gonna work through it together. 147 00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,320 Speaker 2: I thought this was the right move to just give 148 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 2: him a week off and let him get his you know, 149 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: get back in that groove, his swing. If you will, 150 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: so confident in Dustin moving forward? 151 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,520 Speaker 1: Yes, next up, quarterback, Jamis Winston. 152 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 8: Jamis we just trying to force the ball too much 153 00:06:59,040 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 8: of those picks in. 154 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: The ub or what happened? 155 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 4: Uh? 156 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 9: No, they just made a play on the ball. 157 00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:11,559 Speaker 3: Therese.

Let's find a 171 00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 10: way to eliminate hurting ourself, uh, stavving ourself in the foot, 172 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 10: whatever it may be, whether it's procedural, whether it's turnovers. 173 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 10: As a offense, strong with the quarterback. Uh, we all 174 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 10: have to play better. 175 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 8: You usually this short with your answers, James w Why 176 00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 8: is that why you're. 177 00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,040 Speaker 3: Being that way today? 178 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 10: Uh, I'm I'm not. I'm saying all that's required to say. Earlier, 179 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,680 Speaker 10: your question was that you insider wad that I forced 180 00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 10: a pass and I did not. It was a scrambled 181 00:08:16,760 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 10: drill and it was a one on one play in 182 00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:21,800 Speaker 10: the back of the end zone, and the targeted receiver 183 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 10: that I was thrown to throat that I was throwing 184 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 10: it to someone else. So the way that you questioned 185 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 10: that and seeing weighted that I was doing something that 186 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:35,679 Speaker 10: I wasn't. So I answered your question, uh aswer I 187 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,679 Speaker 10: was required to answer it. 188 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:43,000 Speaker 5: One of them went off knicked hands. So they all 189 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 5: get credited to you. 190 00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:48,400 Speaker 10: But that's just that's just the way it goes, whether 191 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 10: unfortunate or not. Like my job, I take all, I'll 192 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 10: take all of it, you know, And and that's to 193 00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:56,840 Speaker 10: who much is given, much is required. And I understand 194 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:59,080 Speaker 10: that piece, uh, And I could have I could have 195 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 10: threw a better ball to Nick, but for Nick, like 196 00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:07,360 Speaker 10: I just want Nick to feel better. I don't know 197 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:11,120 Speaker 10: what's his situation. I just hope that he's healing. So 198 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 10: my job, like it's I've been in this position before. 199 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 10: What's important is for me to do what I'm required 200 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 10: to do, and that is to protect our team's football. 201 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 3: Kevin said he wasn't ready to talk about the decision 202 00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,319 Speaker 3: for who's going to start moving forward. Said something where 203 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 3: you sit down with him and maybe state your case 204 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:35,839 Speaker 3: that you want to keep this job and you think 205 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:36,439 Speaker 3: you should. 206 00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,240 Speaker 10: Keep well, he's been coaching for a long time, and 207 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 10: whatever he decides, like I trusted, you know, I know 208 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,800 Speaker 10: what I'm capable of doing. But throughout the course of 209 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 10: the season, especially the last few games, where we have 210 00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 10: not had a game without a turnover, I think that's 211 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 10: very critical and that's gonna be critical in his decision 212 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 10: making process. So I'm just gonna continue to get better. 213 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,479 Speaker 10: I'm gonna get tinue to keep my eyes forward and onward. 214 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 10: And I got some things I gotta work on like 215 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,959 Speaker 10: this is this is something that's been a part of 216 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,040 Speaker 10: my career man like, especially in twenty nineteen. Like sometimes 217 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,960 Speaker 10: I view it as a spiritual battle, you know. I 218 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 10: just I'm gonna continue to fight and continue to get better. 219 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 10: I'm gonna be the same guy every single day, regardless 220 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 10: of what questions I might answer. 221 00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 9: Shortly, James, the pre. 222 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,520 Speaker 8: Snap penalties, Kevin did mention that he took exception to 223 00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,679 Speaker 8: a few of them. Didn't necessarily agree with them, but 224 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 8: that has been sort of an issue this year. You know, 225 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 8: from your perspective as a quarterback, what leads to those 226 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:42,319 Speaker 8: illegal formations. 227 00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:46,760 Speaker 10: Specifically, and the priest penalties that we had. Typically our 228 00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 10: office alignment are given a warning if the official believes 229 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,440 Speaker 10: that they are too far in the backfield or something 230 00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,880 Speaker 10: like that, and we never received a warning in that regard, 231 00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 10: and uh, Jermaine hasn't had that penalty this year, you know, 232 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 10: So so that's a that's a questionable call. Obviously, the officials, 233 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:10,560 Speaker 10: they have to make their decision and they have to 234 00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 10: they have to live with it. So we'll continue to 235 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 10: fine tune, Uh those things. 236 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,600 Speaker 5: Coach told us that Nick did break his foot, so 237 00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 5: you know, just how hard is it for you to 238 00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:23,439 Speaker 5: know that and hear. 239 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,040 Speaker 6: That with everything? 240 00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 9: He well, well, i'm i'm, i'm, I'm I'm gonna talk 241 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:27,960 Speaker 9: with Nick. 242 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 10: You know, it's that's that's unfortunate, But I speak with 243 00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:37,240 Speaker 10: him and make sure we keep them lifted up, lifted up. 244 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 6: Javis, why do you think this team has had the troubles. 245 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 4: With turning the football over? 246 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:47,000 Speaker 10: Well, I believe like one that has had something to 247 00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,160 Speaker 10: do with me, right, I like to I like to 248 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:54,480 Speaker 10: toss the ball around. I have to be more precise 249 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 10: with my my passes and uh, I have to uh 250 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 10: just give us a better chance. And also when you 251 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 10: throw the ball a lot, and that happens today, it 252 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 10: was different. 253 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:05,559 Speaker 9: Today. 254 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 10: We had one tipped off a guy finger. We had 255 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 10: one that was a fifty fifty ball and the guy 256 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:14,839 Speaker 10: made the play. Like these interceptions like sometimes they can 257 00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,360 Speaker 10: be schooled to be something that's like, oh my gosh's 258 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,280 Speaker 10: decision making. But I just encourage people to go watch 259 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 10: the film today. The first one that I threw, like, man, 260 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:26,480 Speaker 10: they got me on the under the sky's coverage. I 261 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:29,520 Speaker 10: didn't see the backside safety through thought I was throwing 262 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:31,960 Speaker 10: a touchdown to Eliza and the guy made a great play. 263 00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 10: How do you kind of balance that though, like playing 264 00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 10: within yourself while also being. 265 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 9: Well bal like man, I am, I promise you. 266 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,720 Speaker 10: I am a feelish competitor, right, and I hold myself 267 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,960 Speaker 10: accountable for everything that I do. But there's something that 268 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 10: I have to continue to work on. And it's something 269 00:12:50,120 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 10: that I will continue to study and work on. I'm 270 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,520 Speaker 10: just not a like I slogan to be smart not conservative, 271 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,960 Speaker 10: and I have to continue to look at the decision 272 00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,199 Speaker 10: and not the outcomes. 273 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,839 Speaker 1: All the things that have gone on this season and 274 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 1: why you and you haven't realized your goals for. 275 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 3: The year, Well, why do you think is what do 276 00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:10,640 Speaker 3: you think is the biggest reason?

You know what 318 00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 10: I'm saying. He's going down chasing, chasing the ball down 319 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 10: the field after interception and trying to make the tackle. 320 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 10: Like we're not gonna give up, you know, but we 321 00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:04,000 Speaker 10: will fix the things that are limiting us from reaching 322 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 10: with our hearts desire. 323 00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: You talked a last We talked a lot about Jerry, 324 00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 3: but he got a thousand yards first time he had 325 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,800 Speaker 3: another big game. He's stringing them together. Yeah. How nice 326 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:15,600 Speaker 3: is it that? See? 327 00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 10: Yeah, Like it's like throughout the game, you always gonna 328 00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 10: find some positive and throughout the course of these games, 329 00:15:20,480 --> 00:15:22,480 Speaker 10: one thing that has been positive is Miles Garrett and 330 00:15:22,520 --> 00:15:25,720 Speaker 10: Jerry Judy, you know, and they're great players, and Jerry 331 00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:31,360 Speaker 10: is unbelievable receiver.

I mean it seemed like you got were 397 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 3: able to a couple at the line of scrimmage. Could 398 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,919 Speaker 3: you sense any frustration or he's just not one of 399 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 3: those guys that shows any Well. 400 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,439 Speaker 7: I heard the office line get frustrated because he was 401 00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 7: holding onto the ball a little bit, uh too long, 402 00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:46,919 Speaker 7: you know, he was getting it off. Uh you know, 403 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,240 Speaker 7: I guess the plan was to get it off even 404 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 7: quicker and uh it led to him up going down 405 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 7: a couple of times, but uh, frustrating with him. He 406 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,440 Speaker 7: doesn't he didn't really voice it and kind of see 407 00:18:58,480 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 7: it with the body language. But you know as well 408 00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:04,000 Speaker 7: as you see it, you know from outside looking in, 409 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,439 Speaker 7: you know he's cool as a cucumber, and you know 410 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 7: he plays like that pretty much all that you got hurt, 411 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:14,080 Speaker 7: I did not. I mean could have been a hit 412 00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 7: from Doalvin or know any one of us, but I 413 00:19:17,080 --> 00:19:19,640 Speaker 7: mean he's played through it before. I wasn't sure what 414 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 7: play did it though. 415 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:21,640 Speaker 6: When you hear that. 416 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:25,440 Speaker 5: They're starting left tackle g DJ Humphries is ruled out 417 00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:28,439 Speaker 5: for the game, you know, you might think that, you know, 418 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 5: that could end up resulting in a big sort of 419 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 5: sad game for you. But sliding Tuney over is really 420 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 5: beneficial for them, wasn't it. 421 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,639 Speaker 7: I had a feeling they do that, you know, with 422 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,160 Speaker 7: getting Tuny out there. I know they have no faith 423 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,000 Speaker 7: in him as a past protector on anyone on the line, 424 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:48,919 Speaker 7: So I just try to prepare myself as much as 425 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,440 Speaker 7: possible and did a good job. There were some chips 426 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:57,399 Speaker 7: here and there, didn't particularly get the slide, but the 427 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,720 Speaker 7: guard came down to help, you know, pretty quickly when 428 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 7: I was winning with power and winning inside and no, 429 00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 7: I mean he's he's good at what he does, whether 430 00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:09,720 Speaker 7: it's at the guard or at the tackle, and it 431 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:11,760 Speaker 7: was a good battle that it was fun going against him. 432 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 6: Well, I was knowing how. 433 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 3: Good they are on third down conversions this season, how 434 00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,160 Speaker 3: would you value what you guys did. 435 00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 6: Overall in that area? 436 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 9: See that one more time. 437 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,360 Speaker 8: Sorry, So they're really they lead the league and third 438 00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 8: down version percentage of the season. 439 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:28,480 Speaker 3: So how do you guys think you did overall and 440 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 3: stopping them in third down situations? 441 00:20:31,080 --> 00:20:33,879 Speaker 7: Do you have the numbers? I mean, I remember fourteen 442 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 7: and fourteen then at half we got a the first 443 00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:40,320 Speaker 7: half we did a better job than the second half. 444 00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 7: I think they completed too many second half overall, but 445 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:47,879 Speaker 7: I think we had a little bit laps in the 446 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 7: in the second quarter which allowed the points. But I 447 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 7: think we were able to get off the field a 448 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 7: little bit better in the second half, even though we 449 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 7: relinquished a couple of you know, third downs, and you 450 00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,480 Speaker 7: know we'll give up third downs and get off the 451 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 7: field help him to twenty one points.
