1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: Start with what happened on the long toscho pass the 2 00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: end and half yeah, third and nine, third and ten 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,200 Speaker 1: something like that. We're in a cover to too high defense, 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:16,360 Speaker 1: pretty safe defense. I saw they had guiding the slot speedster. Uh. 5 00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,160 Speaker 1: You know, Herbert's got one of the strongest arms in 6 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: the league, ability to roll to his right and throw 7 00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: it across field. And it's an opportunity there. You know, 8 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,000 Speaker 1: we practiced it. You saw it in practice. We prepared 9 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: for it. There was an opportunity there for me to go. 10 00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 1: You know, if someone's run down the middle of trying 11 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: to go steal it from the back side, we don't 12 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: want to get out of the pocket there. And I 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,519 Speaker 1: felt like I had a good good shot at it 14 00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: about fifty yards, but I feel like the ball was 15 00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: gonna go based on that play, and you know that 16 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,559 Speaker 1: crow Hop got an extra ten and I felt like 17 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,240 Speaker 1: I just, um, I feel like I just didn't track 18 00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,199 Speaker 1: the ball well. And you know, he kind of threw 19 00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: it down the middle of our defense between me and 20 00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 1: Zay and um, you know, we and it just it 21 00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 1: just very frustrated and frustrating myself. You know, I just 22 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: pro athlete. You have to make split second decisions and 23 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: you get judged on them, and I didn't make the 24 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: right one there. I'm frustrated for you know, my teammates, 25 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:08,320 Speaker 1: and frustrated for the coaches. We practiced that play, We 26 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,760 Speaker 1: were prepared for that play, and I just didn't make 27 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,600 Speaker 1: that play. And you know that's on us, that's on 28 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 1: that's on the players there, that's on me, and very frustrating. 29 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 1: But you know, the kids got armed talent and he 30 00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: ripped it down the middle of our defense. And we've 31 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 1: done a good job all year, you know, preventing plays 32 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: like that for the most part, and uh fortune today 33 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: he got that one in. How much doesn't playing through 34 00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: it there? Maybe like the quarterbacks, you can't make that? Yeah, no, don't. 35 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: It's rare, you know. We um Like I said, I 36 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 1: felt like I was in a good spot to go 37 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: steal it. The ball just carried and he put on 38 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: a rope. He put a fifty nine on a rope. 39 00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,760 Speaker 1: You don't see that every day. And at the end 40 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: of the day, I get paid to make that play, 41 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 1: so I gotta go make it. I gotta go steal 42 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: that and help our defense and being a racer there 43 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: and and I didn't, so I wear that one heavy. 44 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: It's on me, and you know, I'm not too happy 45 00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,040 Speaker 1: about that. But you don't get to have him back, 46 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: and pro sports you don't get. You get judged on 47 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,480 Speaker 1: on one play at a time, and that wouldn't go 48 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: in my favor. Looking how frustrating it is in general 49 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: that you guys keep on giving up those scores right 50 00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:13,639 Speaker 1: before halftime. I know it's been an issue all year. Yeah, 51 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: I mean I think in the beginning of the year 52 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,920 Speaker 1: that was the case. I think, uh, you know, recently 53 00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: we've been we've been getting those two minutes stops, game 54 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 1: winning drives to making you know, some stops. Um. So 55 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,320 Speaker 1: I think that's improved. Um. I think that was a 56 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:27,919 Speaker 1: one off. I think that was just a play that 57 00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,360 Speaker 1: between me and Zay, we you know, we've made and 58 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: we just didn't make it today. And gotta give credit 59 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: to Justin Herbert, gotta get credit to their staff down 60 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: at sixty yards on thirty nine. You know, they took 61 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: a shot there and I just off the formation. I 62 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 1: had good awareness that that could be the play, and 63 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 1: that's the most frustrating thing. I had some awareness that 64 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 1: that could be it, and uh, I played for it. 65 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 1: I just didn't make it. That's the most frustrating thing. 66 00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: I wasn't caught off guard by it, so I don't 67 00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: know about the whole year whatnot. I'm frustrating for the 68 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,760 Speaker 1: fans that travel. We've got a great fan base that made, 69 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, made it a trip. They traveled to Miami 70 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: as well, my fans, my family back at home who 71 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: are poor and for it. I just really felt like 72 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: I let a lot of people down with that. But 73 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: that's just a that's just the way you bear when 74 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: you know you're a captain in this position and you 75 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,959 Speaker 1: care about your job, you care about your livelihood, you 76 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 1: care about it for the for the franchise. So it 77 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,360 Speaker 1: felt like, uh, I gotta go get it back. Pretty 78 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: much everybody where everybody just said that they really fought 79 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:22,079 Speaker 1: up the week away. It was very beneficial. Um, did 80 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: you think that was going to get help on the 81 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: field today in some way, because obviously the performance on 82 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: offense and defense was not that case. Yeah, for sure, 83 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 1: for sure, I thought it was beneficial. I thought we 84 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: practiced hard, I thought we practiced well. I just think 85 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: we didn't defensively, we didn't come out. Um, we're getting 86 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,520 Speaker 1: up too many touchdowns beginning the game. I mean, it's 87 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:41,200 Speaker 1: just we don't know how many points would get in 88 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: the first quarter. Was just too many. And then you know, 89 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: I think by the second half and we try to 90 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,120 Speaker 1: get some things under controls, too too much, too much 91 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: damage done early. So I think we gotta come out 92 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: and uh, I gotta limit those touchdowns earlier in the game. 93 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:57,800 Speaker 1: For sure. You poke about how he thinks long range 94 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: and he sees his programming even though some of the 95 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 1: results come the field aren't showing it. You guys are 96 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: making progress. As a player, how much do you see 97 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: and what do you see in that regard? Like yeah, 98 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,400 Speaker 1: as a player, I just I just see taking ownership. 99 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 1: Like I said, talking about the players, you gave up 100 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: owning them, and that's Joe's job as a head coach, 101 00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 1: that's some you know, that's the front office's job to 102 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,600 Speaker 1: build a team for the long run or whatnot. As 103 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 1: a player in this day and age, you gotta think 104 00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:25,080 Speaker 1: of it game by game, day by day. That's how 105 00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:28,040 Speaker 1: quickly it goes. This your story has written every game 106 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: and this this sport. So I just think, you know, 107 00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,160 Speaker 1: game by game. I'm proud of my guys in terms 108 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: of sticking together out there. I just think we put 109 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: ourselves in a bad spot early in the game and 110 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,280 Speaker 1: that's not okay. That's not okay in our situation of 111 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: the season. It's not okay. Uh, for the fans, for 112 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: the franchise is not okay. How we came out and 113 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: performed today. Joe's talking there as they were also the company. 114 00:04:55,720 --> 00:05:03,200 Speaker 1: You guys seem all of this faith having part of 115 00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 1: the success. You know, you have faith from the jow 116 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: a lot of feeling still we're out. So yeah, you 117 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:19,000 Speaker 1: want to go out there and feel prepared to play 118 00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: the game. I feel like we were prepared to play 119 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: the game. You want to feel confident in what you're 120 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 1: doing and you gotta go execute. And obviously that's the 121 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 1: third and most important part. But that's what you're trusting 122 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: the coach to have to get you prepared to go 123 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: play the game. And when you practice a play in 124 00:05:30,480 --> 00:05:31,920 Speaker 1: practice and you see it in the game, you don't 125 00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,039 Speaker 1: make it, that's on you. When some of our looks 126 00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 1: are communication wasn't as good as they need to be, 127 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,480 Speaker 1: that's on us. I mean some of the stuff with schemes, 128 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: some of the stuff is they have talent on offense 129 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: as well what they do. But you know, we have 130 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,600 Speaker 1: good players and we didn't make the plays today. We 131 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: didn't get the turnover today. We preached turnovers all week, 132 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 1: we worked really hard at him, and we didn't get them. 133 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 1: We didn't we didn't go punch those balls out of 134 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,920 Speaker 1: get them out the air. So for the guys that 135 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, you look around, I mean, you can only 136 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 1: control what you can control, and you gotta keep pushing 137 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 1: phoe ward. But we gotta go make some of those 138 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 1: game changing plays just for our season, just for our franchise. 139 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: That's the most frustrating part. Just you gotta control what 140 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,880 Speaker 1: you can control, and today I didn't control that as 141 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,520 Speaker 1: well as I I would like to. But you know, 142 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 1: kids having kids and being a father and being a 143 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,480 Speaker 1: role model some of these kids. You gotta keep pushing 144 00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,080 Speaker 1: forward regardless and face the music because you know, fortunately 145 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: have another day here and I'm going to try to 146 00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:19,960 Speaker 1: make the best of it.
