Speaker 1: What is the next thing. Well, it comes down to,
Speaker 1: first of all, you have to, as I said in
Speaker 1: that locker room, you have to hate this feeling more
Speaker 1: than you enjoy winning. And uh, um, it comes out
Speaker 1: of each guys. I'm starting with myself and I look
Speaker 1: at myself in the mirror and make sure that I'm
Speaker 1: doing everything I can to prepare this football team for
Speaker 1: each weekend. And effort obviously is always there. Um, and
Speaker 1: we have to we have to look at the film
Speaker 1: quite honestly, and and and it's all fixable. The things,
Speaker 1: the things that were the mistakes were making are all fixable. Um.
Speaker 1: Whether it's you know, a coverage element being on a
Speaker 1: position or you know just uh, you know, a holding
Speaker 1: when we're on the perimeter. Offensively, we can't do. You know,
Speaker 1: it's just things that we can correct and practice during
Speaker 1: the week. And that's that's what we have to do
Speaker 1: to Tennessee. Offensive you'll have a to school lead you know,
Speaker 1: this road stuff with defense, I mean we talked about
Speaker 1: and talked about exactly. Um, it's something scenario that that
Speaker 1: we've we've got to I've got to look at it
Speaker 1: this week and uh, you know, because we're our schedule
Speaker 1: is set up. We're home away, home away, so we
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna be on the road just as
Speaker 1: much as we are you know, playing at home. So um,
Speaker 1: it's something that uh, you know, we understand I think
Speaker 1: where we are as a football team. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna feel sorry for us, you know, with the
Speaker 1: injuries or you know, there's no excuses, So we don't
Speaker 1: feel sorry for ourselves. We just got to continue to
Speaker 1: work and and and keep getting better. But the last
Speaker 1: play of the first half, you ran a running play
Speaker 1: with I think it's like eleven second class from the
Speaker 1: clock from the ten yard line. We get the first down,
Speaker 1: burn the time out, and then have maybe eight seconds
Speaker 1: to start taking shots to the end zone. You preach
Speaker 1: to your guys, you know about the penalties and so
Speaker 1: that you address how frustrated these we you guys have started.
Speaker 1: It seems like it's in every game and really feels
Speaker 1: like you're beating yourselves in the situation. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: a penalties are are are racking up and and can't
Speaker 1: can't happen. We've got to we've got to eliminate those
Speaker 1: and and um, you know, it's just it's something we
Speaker 1: do look at you know, I look at it here
Speaker 1: in the next couple of days and and uh before
Speaker 1: we get ready for the next opponent, and try to
Speaker 1: put a finger on it and just keep keep coaching
Speaker 1: the guys. That's all we can do. If you just
Speaker 1: keep coaching them out of it. It seems like ours
Speaker 1: past particularly why is that we'll give them credit. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's it's a pretty good funt. We knew that going in.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good defense. Um, so I give
Speaker 1: them a lot of credit. Number one, number two. Again,
Speaker 1: we'll look at the film, we'll make we'll make our corrections.
Speaker 1: It's a couple of guys got edged a couple of times. Uh.
Speaker 1: You know, we got to make sure that our backs
Speaker 1: and you know there's there's cohesiveness with that all that protection.
Speaker 1: It's not just one guy or two guys. You know,
Speaker 1: it could be could be the offensive line, could be
Speaker 1: the quarterback, could be the coverage, and so we just
Speaker 1: have to address it. And uh, um, you know, we
Speaker 1: pride ourselves and picking up the pressure, picking up the blitz.
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to that. And we just as
Speaker 1: a situation again where we were just a low out
Speaker 1: of position. Um, and again credit them. It's a great
Speaker 1: play obviously, fourth and fifteen. You know, Um, it's a
Speaker 1: fixable situation obviously, and uh, well we'll get it corrected
Speaker 1: with the whole the movie parts of the defensive backfield.
Speaker 1: The last a couple of weeks change this week. Uh,
Speaker 1: this is to expect a little bit that it's going
Speaker 1: to have to be growing together process for that. I
Speaker 1: think I mean a little bit. Yeah, there's gonna be.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be, um, you know, some communication issues that
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta address. There's gonna be you know,
Speaker 1: moving parts, moving guys around. Um. You know, it's very
Speaker 1: similar to offensively with you know, the amount of injuries.
Speaker 1: You know, with the running backs and receiver group. There's
Speaker 1: moving people around and moving parts. And again it's it's
Speaker 1: something that um, you know, we'll continue to address, continue
Speaker 1: to work. We will make excuses for it. Next man
Speaker 1: up plays and we we coached him up and getting
Speaker 1: ready pretty offense. Yeah, he was. He was excited to
Speaker 1: watch him play today. He was aggressive, he attacked football
Speaker 1: time of spark for the offense. It was great to
Speaker 1: see him back and keep him coming coming game goes
Speaker 1: with how much I just wanted to see how the
Speaker 1: game and folder with him, how was how he was
Speaker 1: with his you know, because he missed a couple of
Speaker 1: days there and just wanted to make sure that he was,
Speaker 1: you know, strong, you know as the game went. He
Speaker 1: felt really good as it went. As it went, touching
Speaker 1: on the drive stopped in What was the issue those
Speaker 1: two situations, Well, a couple of times, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: again we stopped ourselves. Whether it was just execution, um
Speaker 1: maybe a penalty backed us up, just a touch U
Speaker 1: sack something something negative happened, um and and it just
Speaker 1: it just got us out of our rhythm. It seems
Speaker 1: like we got down there fine um and and the
Speaker 1: and they you know Tennessee build their neck and and
Speaker 1: it kept us to three much like our defense has done,
Speaker 1: you know for the first month of the season, you know,
Speaker 1: um and and again it's uh, you know, we pride
Speaker 1: ourselves and in the red zone obviously we've been we've
Speaker 1: been pretty good there. Um and and we just got
Speaker 1: to continue to work. Feel like, less likely to snowball
Speaker 1: because of when you guys went through last season, doesn't
Speaker 1: have any bearing at all, has no bearing, has no bearing.
Speaker 1: Those guys in there sick to their stomach right now.
Speaker 1: And uh um, they they they take it. They take
Speaker 1: this this, this hurts. This stings. The losses like this sting,
Speaker 1: and and uh um it's something that we use is
Speaker 1: fuel for you know, our emotion and moving forward. It's uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we try to go one to know every week.
Speaker 1: That's our that's our main objective. And uh it's arts
Speaker 1: in practice when we come back together on Tuesday. But
Speaker 1: do you think that you're experienced last season makes it
Speaker 1: less likely that this loss turning into something and next
Speaker 1: week game back? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not it's
Speaker 1: not going to snowball that way. Yeah. At a time,
Speaker 1: seems wavering a little bit more responsibility years when your shoulders,
Speaker 1: I gotta get us back in the riddle of the highway.
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, a lot of it falls on my shoulders,
Speaker 1: you know, preparing this football team during the week, mentally, physically,
Speaker 1: how we practice all of that. Um. But the one
Speaker 1: thing that that this team is has learned through resiliency
Speaker 1: and is just the ownership of just doing their jobs.
Speaker 1: Keep do simple better, you know, and and uh, just
Speaker 1: focus on their task and their job and and as
Speaker 1: coaches and players and uh, you know, UM, I tell
Speaker 1: them all the time. It's a you know, it's so
Speaker 1: it can be a simple game if if you keep
Speaker 1: it simple, you eliminate turnovers, you eliminate penalties, and just
Speaker 1: go execute. Um you know. Um, And that's where we're at.
Speaker 1: Jobs there has to be a huge problem, and then
Speaker 1: they weren't so much last year. We're kind of backing now,
Speaker 1: who are your jobs, passes, Is there anything that you
Speaker 1: can contribute there too, or maybe to unsettle dancial position
Speaker 1: at the moment, just um, you know, maybe just lack
Speaker 1: of focus at the time. You could count to a
Speaker 1: lot of things, but um, number one thing is we
Speaker 1: got to make sure we do catch the football and
Speaker 1: and uh we just continue to work. H Thanks. Thanks,
