1
00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:01,640
Speaker 1: We kept fighting.

2
00:00:01,800 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 2: We're resilient, and it's tough. You know, when you find

3
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 2: a way to get back in the game and you

4
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:09,560
Speaker 2: have an opportunity and it finishes that way. But I mean, really,

5
00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:11,399
Speaker 2: I'm super proud to be a part of that group

6
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: and got a lot of fight and we just gotta

7
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: just got to find a way to finish these games.

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 1: You know, we've we've had so many one score games that.

9
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: Haven't gone our way because some plays down the stretch,

10
00:00:22,280 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 2: and so it's tough.

11
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: What were to do to go first? What's that place

12
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: supposed to do or what's the idea? What are you

13
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: guys thinking in the huddle.

14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:36,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, we were getting you know, they're doing a nice

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 2: job of mixing it up on defense, but you know,

16
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 2: kind of started to get some more man towards the

17
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,199
Speaker 2: end there. We hit some big plays, just the one

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 2: we hit a tram. Took advantage of that and got

19
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 2: down there, and then you know, we kind of it

20
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: was a playoff of what we did earlier. We did

21
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 2: some stuff with the running back and some some option

22
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: routes and we tried to go over the top and

23
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 2: just try to give credit to the linebacker did a

24
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 2: great job Nikobe did a great job making that play.

25
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: And it's just tough on the finishes that way. You

26
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 2: know when I when I threw it, I thought we'd

27
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: have a shot and left to touch inside and he

28
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:09,720
Speaker 2: got his eyes back. You know a lot of times

29
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 2: those linebackers don't don't get their eyes back and play

30
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: the ball. And I thought we'd we'd be able to

31
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: go up and get it, and uh, he did it.

32
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 2: He did a great job, made a great play.

33
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 1: Sure starts.

34
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 2: I know we've asked you guys got it a lot,

35
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:23,320
Speaker 2: But what do you what do you think you guys

36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 2: have to do to sort of just get it get

37
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,199
Speaker 2: it rolling early.

38
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: I don't know.

39
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: I mean, we'll look at everything, and it's been an issue,

40
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 2: so it's something we got to fix.

41
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: You know.

42
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 2: I think we we didn't do anything in the first half,

43
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: and you know it was just for one reason or another.

44
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:39,880
Speaker 2: There was a couple of factors. But we just gotta

45
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 2: we got to improve there. I mean, it's it's just hard.

46
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we give ourselves a chance to to

47
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 2: come back and win the game, but you know, we

48
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: had to have a lot of plays go our way

49
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: and we had to make a lot of plays and

50
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,720
Speaker 2: put ourselves in a tough spot. And you know, we

51
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: shouldn't have to do that every week. So you know,

52
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 2: we got to look at it and and how do

53
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: we start better. How do we just move the ball

54
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 2: getting a rhythm. It seemed like we were just really

55
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 2: staggering it at first and couldn't you know, possess the

56
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,920
Speaker 2: ball and our defenses on the.

57
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: Field a lot. So we gotta we gotta get better

58
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: at that.

59
00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 2: I mean, you guys going I was twenty throne if

60
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,239
Speaker 2: every one of yards in the first half, we know,

61
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: it was really bad.

62
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 1: And then I would see you got a chance, and

63
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 1: I mean it's it.

64
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: I know there's ups and downs in the game, but

65
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem extreme right now for you guys.

66
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: That was definitely extreme. I mean, look at our season.

67
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: I wouldn't say that those We've had times where we

68
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 2: haven't played well, for sure, but that was definitely extreme tonight.

69
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: So but we we gotta take it for what it is.

70
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: It happened.

71
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 2: You know, that was our performance in the first half

72
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: as an offense, and we gotta figure out how we

73
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 2: can get better.

74
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it's frustrating, you.

75
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: Know when I feel like we have an opportunity and

76
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: you know, I don't make the plays to put some position.

77
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: To win the game, you know. Yeah, So it's tough.

78
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 1: I'm frustrated and I know it.

79
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 2: I always got to start with myself and what I

80
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 2: can do better, And I can do a lot better.

81
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,119
Speaker 2: I didn't bring didn't bring my best tonight, and it's

82
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: definitely disappointing game. We needed and had a shot and

83
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: just SHO would have got in the end zone there

84
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 2: at the end. You mentioned the closet losses you just

85
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 2: added and number of this year, and just how do

86
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 2: you guys fight through that, and just trying to say

87
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 2: a lot of you to try and see if there's something.

88
00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: To know your way in that kind of road.

89
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: We've done a good job of. I mean, where we're

90
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 2: at two and seven and there's no quit in us.

91
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: We're fighting every week, we're getting ourselves a shot, and

92
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 2: it's like we're not making just the last few plays.

93
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: There's obviously plays the lead up to it's not just

94
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 2: one play, but the ones at the end. You know,

95
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 2: all these scores in this league are it all comes

96
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: down to the end, and we're just not We're not

97
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: finishing the games and we're fighting to get back in it.

98
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: Like tonight, those unbelievable guys not quitting put the defense

99
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 2: in a bunch of bad spots and just fighting their

100
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 2: tail off to to give us a shot, and they did,

101
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: and then we started getting getting it going on offense finally.

102
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,440
Speaker 2: But I'm just you know, probably sound obviously this point.

103
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 2: I am. We're not disappointed in in our team and

104
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: the way we fought, though, in the effort and everything

105
00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: out there. I'm really disappointed, honestly, I'm in myself. The

106
00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: way played felt like I didn't give us enough of

107
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: a chance to win.

108
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: You know.

109
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I made enough plays. Just some

110
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,160
Speaker 2: stuff that I can't do and I gotta be better for.

111
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: So that's what That's what's tough now, is I felt

112
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: like if I do some some things better, we win

113
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 2: the game. So that's that's tough pill to swallow. But

114
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: I gotta take accountability for that.

115
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: But I can come out of this. Basically, we're all all.

116
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 2: Beat up at the time of the year, but you know,

117
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 2: relatively all right, So we'll kind of assess obviously tomorrow morning,

118
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 2: some some soreness sets in and we'll see what we're

119
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,839
Speaker 2: dealing with but you know, it was able to to

120
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 2: finish the game and felt okay. And I know there's

121
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 2: a lot of guys dealing with stuff and we just

122
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 2: got to keep pushing through.

123
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: It's that time of the year, the middle of the season,

124
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,720
Speaker 1: and it's tough. It happened the last one coming out, Yeah, just.

125
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 2: Trying to Yeah, just trying to make sure I'm all

126
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,920
Speaker 2: right in the second half and do anything I need

127
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: to go, to do everything I needed to to get

128
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 2: ready to go. So it took me a little longer

129
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:58,400
Speaker 2: coming out, so but I checked on and felt like

130
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 2: I was fine to play. So I'll get you're playing

131
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 2: with a bunch of different combinations up front receivers, I mean, and.

132
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: How challenging is it.

133
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. It it's challenging just because

134
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: the continuity isn't always there. But I gotta just I

135
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: gotta give credit to those guys for being ready. I mean,

136
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 2: guys have stepped up and it's not easy. And golly,

137
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: I hate Koop goes down today and it's like he's

138
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,280
Speaker 2: playing great young guy that had had to step up

139
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: and I was ready to go, and it's like another

140
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: injury and it's just it's tough and we just gotta

141
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 2: battle through it and stick together. And I think the

142
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 2: guys are doing that, and guys are ready to play.

143
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: You see guys that don't get many repscause there's only

144
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 2: so many reps, there's only so much time during the week,

145
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 2: and they're.

146
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: Ready to go.

147
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:45,159
Speaker 2: And receivers obviously had to step up today and those

148
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 2: guys did that and made plays, and so, I mean,

149
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: it is hard, though, honestly it is. There is some

150
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 2: difficulty with not having the chemistry and not having some

151
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 2: of the timing and but at the end of the day,

152
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 2: I gotta trust those guys that I do, and they

153
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 2: made plays for me, and I just gotta be consistently

154
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,360
Speaker 2: better as well. There's times I just got to sit

155
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:05,679
Speaker 2: in there and deliver the ball and make some better throws.

156
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 2: And I missed a couple tonight and big one on

157
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 2: third down near midfield kind of in the I think

158
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 2: that was fourth quarter.

159
00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: At some point.

160
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: And yeah, so I gotta be better for them and

161
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: just just be the guy that I need to be

162
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:18,360
Speaker 2: for this team.

163
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,479
Speaker 1: Do you worry that the way you guys feel it's

164
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 1: with these close games and the way everybody you know

165
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: has dealt with it, that.

166
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 2: It starts to become maybe kind of who you guys are,

167
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: or guys maybe start to accept it, and it just doesn't.

168
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: You know, there's no anger, there's no frustration. It just

169
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,440
Speaker 1: I don't think so, I mean, we're all No, I don't.

170
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think that's the case.

171
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 2: I mean, we're playing some some good teams and we're

172
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 2: putting ourselves in bad positions and we're still fighting and

173
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: having a chance at the very end, and it's it's

174
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,719
Speaker 2: we're that close. So I think if guys were accepting that,

175
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,479
Speaker 2: or I'm not saying that, you're saying quitting, but guys

176
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: are just accepting that, I don't think think you'd see that.

177
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: The way it feels after games feels like that. I

178
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,920
Speaker 1: don't feel that either. I mean, guys are extremely disappointed.

179
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: I think it's.

180
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,080
Speaker 2: It's just been the same thing so many times this

181
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: season that it is. It's frustrating because you feel like,

182
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: you know, honestly, I mean, you feel like you're about

183
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: to you're gonna break through it. You've got this adversity,

184
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: and this is the week we're gonna break through it.

185
00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 2: And I thought this was the week and didn't get

186
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: it done, didn't finish, so it is. It is frustrating,

187
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: but we know it's gonna turn. We just have to

188
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 2: keep working. It's all you can do, all you can do.

189
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: Thank you all, appreciate it.

190
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: You know what. I'm safe,
