Speaker 1: Yeah, Welcome to this Monday edition of the From the

2
00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: Podium podcast. I'm Jason Gibbs from the Cross Country Mortgage Campus.

3
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 1: Brown's losing a tough one to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.

4
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,960
Speaker 1: On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Steffanski,

5
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: quarterback to Shawn Watson, and defensive end Miles Garrett. Head

6
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski.

7
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 2: Up.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: First, he spoke on the game.

9
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:27,200
Speaker 3: Okay, Nick injury front. Nick Harris has a fractured fibula

10
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 3: that'll require surgery. Drum Ford had a hamstring injury. There,

11
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,199
Speaker 3: Emerson and Elijah have rib injuries. We'll get more information

12
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 3: on that. Very frustrated, you know, want to close a

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,080
Speaker 3: game out there, and we get down loan and go

14
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 3: backwards on a couple of fall starts, which was really

15
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,880
Speaker 3: really tough, and I know there's plays to be had,

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 3: but we got to find a way to close the

17
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: football games out stay competitive there to the end. I

18
00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 3: know the guys are fighting like crazy, fighting like crazy,

19
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 3: and ipreciate that, Uh, but we gotta find a way

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 3: to to get a win against a good opponent. And uh,

21
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 3: we had our opportunities and and did not come through

22
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: so frustrating, but we gotta learn from it. Got next,

23
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 3: I got another one next week. With that, I'll take

24
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 3: any questions. Yeah, this was a little bit different, just

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,880
Speaker 3: in that it was false starts as opposed to the Yeah. Yeah,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 3: oh it's trust me, it's self inflicted. It's uh, it's

27
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 3: it's nothing that the other team's doing. It's what we're doing.

28
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 3: And you know, uh, not for again, not for a

29
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 3: lack of effort.

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:39,280
Speaker 4: Uh.

31
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 3: We will be better.

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: We have to be better.

33
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean with that down in distance, I just

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 3: feel like you take three and you try to get

35
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 3: a stop on the other side.

36
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 2: Uh.

37
00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 3: I understand you can try it from there as well.

38
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 3: I I get that part. And obviously when you don't

39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: get the ball back, that's going through your mind. What

40
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 3: you say, Yes, how did you get.

41
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

42
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,520
Speaker 3: I thought there were some good moments. You know, we

43
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 3: we need to obviously, we need to protect, we need

44
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 3: to keep him clean wh when we can. Uh, that's

45
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 3: a good front. I uh, and I thought the guy's

46
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 3: battled the crazy had some decent opportunities there, but uh,

47
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: we gotta find a way to be more explosive. I

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 3: didn't see it. Mary Kay, Uh you probably saw an

49
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 3: angle I didn't see. Yeah, so we'll look at it,

50
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 3: can't I mean, we overcame that. We did get a

51
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,359
Speaker 3: first down and believe off of that. But that's uh, yeah,

52
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:48,440
Speaker 3: we we gotta be clean. Yeah it should have been

53
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 3: uh and just y you know, obviously incredible play by Miles.

54
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 3: Uh was the right call for that moment. Uh, great

55
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,720
Speaker 3: play by Rod scooping it up and scoring. Thought Rod

56
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 3: was you know all over the field, but you just

57
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 3: and and as good as that is, Uh, you just

58
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,079
Speaker 3: gotta come through at the end. That that's the frustrating part,

59
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: I I know, frustrating for me, frustrating for our players,

60
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:12,079
Speaker 3: frustrating for everybody. Uh that you can do good things,

61
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 3: but you gotta find a way to close it out.

62
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:18,639
Speaker 4: What's what's the.

63
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's put that on me. That's a little bit

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 3: of a miscommunication. But bottom line is, uh, we gotta

65
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,640
Speaker 3: be better in that area. We we have to gotta

66
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 3: sta gotta be able to turn short yards into the

67
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 3: first hauns. Yeah, I just put a bad call.

68
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 5: Just how.

69
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 3: The game challenge the center or how challenge Yeah, I

70
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: hate losing Nick obviously early in the game. He's really disappointed.

71
00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 3: He he loves he's a competitor, he loves this game,

72
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 3: and uh, he's been very unlucky, unfortunate with injuries, and

73
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 3: you know, I just I feel bad for him, but

74
00:03:58,120 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 3: hard hard to lose him early.

75
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 4: So you're.

76
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, Zach obviously think highly of him.

77
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 3: Went with Mike early in this game. But Zach had

78
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: to be ready to go right away, and he knew

79
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 3: that and he was ready.

80
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:18,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

81
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 3: I think there were some looks there that were advantageous

82
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 3: to to us. And I thought the guys again there

83
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 3: was strained and finish was there, Uh in the run

84
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 3: game for sure?

85
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 4: The game.

86
00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean happy for Jack to make it back,

87
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 3: as you guys know how hard he worked uh through

88
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 3: that injury. So excited to have him back out there.

89
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: But I have to look at the tape obviously, but

90
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:55,839
Speaker 3: I know he battled. Yeah, Jack was healthy, ready to

91
00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: come back in the lineup.

92
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

93
00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 3: You know, Dewan needs to continue to get better and

94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:08,599
Speaker 3: be ready to play you know every week. Yeah, there's

95
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: always things Mary kay, I think we can we can

96
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 3: do better. Uh, give them credit. They made some plays

97
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 3: down the field, but our guys were in good position

98
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,480
Speaker 3: on a couple of them. I gotta find a way

99
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 3: to get the ball out, defend the pass. I'd have

100
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 3: to look. Well, I don't know the exact numbers. I

101
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 3: had a rotation with the guys, but uh I thought

102
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 3: he battled.

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,200
Speaker 4: Yeah.

104
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to get too much into specifics, but

105
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: Jamis has been successful in those.

106
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:41,839
Speaker 4: What do you think?

107
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 3: What are we? We're one and five?

108
00:05:49,480 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: That's we are.

109
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 3: You know we own it, not gonna hide from it.

110
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 3: I own it. I'm one and five. The whole locker room,

111
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 3: we're all one and five. But uh, I know what

112
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: type of group we got. We got fighters, and we'll

113
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:05,039
Speaker 3: back next week right to fight back since the familiar

114
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 3: arrival from the back after three games. Yeah, it's a

115
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 3: division game, but we know how important those are.

116
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: Next up quarterback to Sean Watson.

117
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 4: But how much is the big guys' ability to run

118
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 4: the ball there in the second half kind of help

119
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 4: open things up for you and in the past the

120
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 4: game maybe ease some of the coverage and in the

121
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,280
Speaker 4: pressure you the pressure you were getting.

122
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 2: I mean it helped a lot.

123
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 5: That's what we have to do with this with with

124
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 5: with the offense, you gotta be balanced, you gotta you know,

125
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,640
Speaker 5: have them you know, play honest to the to the

126
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 5: run game and you know you can see in the

127
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 5: second half it kind of opened up play action, uh,

128
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 5: different things like that. And also you know it opened

129
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 5: up the chuck downs and it don't put so much

130
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 5: stress on the old line. You know, necessarily you had.

131
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 4: Free unfamiliar use blindman in after the end it's loud,

132
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 4: it's on the road. How difficult is it to operate?

133
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 5: Uh, I mean it's very difficult, you know, Donny doing

134
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 5: you know cut first game back and and having to

135
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 5: to go play guard and then center. You know, you

136
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 5: gotta be able to adjust and then you know just

137
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 5: you know, Jack first game back, Zach having to come

138
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,040
Speaker 5: back in. So you know, the biggest thing just have

139
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 5: to communicate and just play one player at a time,

140
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 5: make sure we're on the same page, so you know,

141
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 5: each and every one of us can you know, operate

142
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 5: and try to execute that play.

143
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 4: Trying to see it his way and seem like everything

144
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: we're asking you, Kevin.

145
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 6: About, it's kind of a time and kind of just

146
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 6: that the kids.

147
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 4: Uh, just all from that count for game time line.

148
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, as a offense like look at you guys or anything.

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 4: Stuff like that, that popping up to something.

150
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 5: Uh, just keep working on 'em, I guess, try to

151
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 5: rep it and practice it as much as possible. The

152
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 5: biggest thing again is just you know, each one of

153
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 5: us gott to lock in, you know, and and we

154
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 5: just self afflicted, We putting, putting ourselves and you know,

155
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 5: just you know, dangers on for for not being able

156
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 5: to accomplish what we wanna accomplish. Sh you know, and

157
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 5: that's on the goal line and third down.

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: Other are the the different players that there were there

159
00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 4: any operational changes in the game we were told her

160
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,320
Speaker 4: would be.

161
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it was here and there. I it's

162
00:08:16,520 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 5: really just how the game in the floor of the

163
00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 5: game kind of go.

164
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:20,480
Speaker 3: You know.

165
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 5: Biggest thing is just you know, we had opportunities. We

166
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 5: just again shot ourselves in the foot and and went

167
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,520
Speaker 5: backwards instead of going forward.

168
00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 3: Sure can you just upsetting in the frost first strainings

169
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:32,559
Speaker 3: to get down here and have a thirty goal of

170
00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 3: the three and now be.

171
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 4: Able to end.

172
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 2: So, I mean it's tough.

173
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's very frustrating that that was our chance, especially

174
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 5: you know all day we've been working there, they've been

175
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 5: you know, penalties and you know, you know, stops and

176
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,960
Speaker 5: just things like that, and the one time the opportunity

177
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 5: to top the game to you know, try to put

178
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 5: ourselves in position to go in, we didn't do it.

179
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: And yeah, it's tough.

180
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 2: It's definitely frustrating.

181
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 4: Just showing one touchdown in the West twenty nine drives

182
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:00,680
Speaker 4: what has to choose? Do those.

183
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 5: Just again, just stop shooting ourselves in the foot, you know,

184
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 5: putting ourselves in third and long when we do capitalize

185
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 5: on third.

186
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 2: Down there's a penalty goal line.

187
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:14,480
Speaker 5: Just being able to score and not p going back.

188
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 5: Especially the last two weeks be right there at the

189
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,679
Speaker 5: one or three or two and were going backwards. And uh,

190
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 5: that's two weeks in a row where you know, things

191
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 5: could have went you know differently, who knows.

192
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,320
Speaker 2: But it's tough. It's super tough.

193
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,920
Speaker 4: Do you feel like you played any different thing with

194
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 4: a little bit more confidence or or anything to stating

195
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: when you were eleven twelve second half?

196
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 6: Uh?

197
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 4: In certain days some things going just what was your

198
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 4: you about your own play?

199
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,360
Speaker 5: I I think especially first half, I missed out on

200
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 5: some opportunities. The biggest thing was a couple of deep shots.

201
00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:49,560
Speaker 5: The timing was a little bit off, just miscommunication with

202
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:51,560
Speaker 5: with a couple of receivers on what I'm seeing and

203
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:56,080
Speaker 5: what they're seeing. And I think that that, you know,

204
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 5: I take responsibility of that because they they showed a

205
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 5: little bit differently. Usually they're defensive corners, played a lot

206
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 5: soft coverage off coverage. Today they pressed us up and

207
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 5: we were respecting off, but they press us up. So

208
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 5: that's where you know, we didn't I guess during the week,

209
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 5: I didn't emphasize a little bit more with the receivers

210
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 5: on what I wanted to do, you know, with that.

211
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 5: But overall, I think, you know, second half was much better,

212
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 5: you know, defense, our special teams did a great job

213
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 5: of getting us ten ten and we was putting together

214
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 5: a good drive and that kind of start. So yeah,

215
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 5: it's just yeah, I mean, I I we lost at

216
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 5: the end of the day, you know, So yeah, after.

217
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:35,960
Speaker 4: Three games on the road, come back.

218
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: Now it's Cincinnati, familiar parts at home, like good timing

219
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 3: or not.

220
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 4: It's your first division.

221
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 5: I'm not even worried about the time, and honestly, I

222
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 5: I want I wanna correct these these little things that

223
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 5: that's costing us to win games. So Monday Tuesday, we

224
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 5: gotta we gotta really lock in on and and really

225
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 5: be truthful with ourselves on on what are we doing,

226
00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 5: not not just one or two guys, but all of us.

227
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 5: And and I'm being the quarterback of this offense with

228
00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 5: Kevin and Kin, we have to do something a little

229
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:07,320
Speaker 5: bit I don't I don't know what we have to do,

230
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 5: but we need to do something locked in so we

231
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 5: don't cost ourselves any more games because you know, we gotta,

232
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 5: we gotta really turn this around.

233
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: Days Huck running back, Uh, what do you feel like

234
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:22,720
Speaker 3: your chances are really stays?

235
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 5: I mean, the chances there, the opportunity is there.

236
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 2: We we see it. I think everyone sees it.

237
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 5: It's just the margin ra is super small in this

238
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 5: league and we can't we can't do that. I mean

239
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 5: we we've lost these games twenty to sixteen twice. You know,

240
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 5: the Vegas game was very similar the Giants game, So

241
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 5: all these games were super super close outside of Dallas

242
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 5: and Washington and men, it's right there in uh, in

243
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 5: our hands, and we're not taking it. So, yeah, the

244
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 5: chances is there. We just when we got a time

245
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,200
Speaker 5: and just trying to find a different way.

246
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,160
Speaker 4: Sean, you you mentioned Michael movements to how much did

247
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 4: you work with them during the week considering and how

248
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 4: much was getting on the same with him? You know,

249
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 4: what was that like during person the game? Did you

250
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,080
Speaker 4: ever there was a couple of plays to seem like

251
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 4: the way there once? Where was he grind it?

252
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 5: Yeah? That was the first time I've ever worked with

253
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 5: Michael dunne is you know, cause we always had Poe,

254
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 5: we had uh Nick and and then usually sometimes Joel

255
00:12:18,920 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: kind of did it a little bit or Zach. But

256
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 5: that was the first time I've ever worked with Michael

257
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,319
Speaker 5: dunn And I think he did a heck of a

258
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,959
Speaker 5: job honestly, you know, to step over in that position

259
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,160
Speaker 5: and hold his own.

260
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:34,320
Speaker 4: Feel the difference with conkling back and right now.

261
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 5: I mean, yeah, Conklin is definitely a veteran guy. He's

262
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 5: definitely motivated. He he first came back, so you know,

263
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,120
Speaker 5: just kind of you know, getting in in his groove,

264
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 5: and I think he's gonna be able to help us

265
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 5: out for sure. So uh, you know, we're sided with

266
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: Conklin and and and whenever whoever else is in that

267
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 5: game and in that position, We're gonna be super excited

268
00:12:52,440 --> 00:12:54,040
Speaker 5: for them to be able to hold their own and

269
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,840
Speaker 5: and play to a center.

270
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,960

Speaker 2: A field goal?

276
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 6: Mm, probably that was probably only the under the definition.

277
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 6: But we needed a little bit more. That was a

278
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 6: good start, and we gotta we gotta play off for that.

279

00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 6: we just gotta take that next step.

324
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 4: You seem to be it. It It looked like just

325
00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,960
Speaker 4: in the play, I mean, there was a little extra

326
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 4: part and seemed like a from you out there. Maybe

327
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:20,040
Speaker 4: that's just me seeing things or or something, but we

328
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 4: did you feel like, you know, you played at a

329
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 4: even a higher level today and maybe even previous.

330
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 6: Uh not sure. I'm for me and I'm just fired

331
00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 6: up to it out there and win. And uh, I'm

332
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 6: just trying to help my team as much as possible.

333
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 6: And you know, you know, we're trying to play complimentary

334
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 6: football as a as a whole on defense and I'm

335
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,560
Speaker 6: tryna do what I can and I'm making making players

336
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 6: in the backfield TfL. So I'm trying to get the

337
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 6: ball out. No, just just trying to you know, to

338
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 6: light that spark like the coach has been talking about.

339
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 2: And uh, I'll.

340
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 6: Continue to do it every time we step out there.

341
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 6: Every plays a opportunity for that. You know, I'm just

342
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:58,920
Speaker 6: trying to take a uh, take advantage of that.

343
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 4: What was a good one five month? You offense struggle,

344
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 4: You worried about the mindset of.

345
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,760
Speaker 2: The locker room. No, why not?

346
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 6: We have we have some great leaders in this locker room,

347
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 6: including myself. They'm not gonna let these guys, you know,

348
00:16:10,120 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 6: waiver at at any point. You know, we have a

349
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 6: lot of games left, have a lot of season left,

350
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 6: have a lot of a lot of AFC games left,

351
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 6: to still keep ourselves in the picture and keep keep ourselves.

352
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:22,640
Speaker 2: No focus on that. So not worried about that at all.

353
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: When was the line the fact if you were in

354
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 3: this meeting, so that while norms of the guys, any

355
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 3: nighers and there all ties of evens are solved, the

356
00:16:32,200 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 3: one of you guys aren't them for a way around?

357
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 2: We aren't.

358
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 6: Now It's just and like I said, it's it's about

359
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 6: closing these these uh, these games at the end, you know,

360
00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 6: they especially these these funds that are within our grasps,

361
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 6: you know, getting a stop or you know, not beating ourself. Uh,

362
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 6: when we have those opportunities on offense and on defense.

363
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 6: So you know, the the fact that we're th this

364
00:16:53,880 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 6: close should you know, offers all a little bit of uh,

365
00:16:56,800 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 6: no solace and no look back on that and take

366
00:16:58,840 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 6: something from it, huh telling coming from the.

367
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,520
Speaker 1: Other perspective and looking at the challenges what happened on

368
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:05,920
Speaker 1: your offensive one today?

369
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: Uh?

370
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 6: Can can you address just what.

371
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,359
Speaker 2: It must have been like or done?

372
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 4: They have to at the center and work with the

373
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 4: shot the first time and they have to come back

374
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:15,800
Speaker 4: and just what they had to deal with.

375
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 6: I have no idea what that's like, cause you know,

376
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 6: I don't I don't play off of the line, but

377
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,879
Speaker 6: you know, I know those guys work their ass off

378
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 6: and in multiple positions to to make it all work,

379
00:17:24,760 --> 00:17:26,679
Speaker 6: and you know, mix it up like that, it can

380
00:17:26,800 --> 00:17:30,200
Speaker 6: be difficult. So I know they they had there, you know,

381
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 6: work then and did what they could.

382
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:34,400
Speaker 4: Well, who could do you go more? There?

383
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:35,120
Speaker 6: Individually?

384
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 3: I guess that just a worker being that wanted part

385
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,160
Speaker 3: like or are you putting are you more a vircial individual?

386
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:42,920
Speaker 4: Or can you do an make you place today that

387
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:44,479
Speaker 4: you feel like you were to do more?

388
00:17:44,560 --> 00:17:45,600
Speaker 2: Or which? Absolutely?

389
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: I mean they had a they had a nice plan

390
00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 6: as far as you know, keeping keeping uh jailing a

391
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,879
Speaker 6: little bit tucked further in the pocket and I let him,

392
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:55,960
Speaker 6: you know, get to his usual depths, you know, so

393
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 6: you know, trying to l nullify the the edge rush

394
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,959
Speaker 6: and uh you know I got some some big tackles

395
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:03,440
Speaker 6: on edge, so you know, trying to to get the

396
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: ball out on time and making us go either inside

397
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:09,200
Speaker 6: to that power rush so that you know, he he

398
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 6: had a little bit more time. You know, they're they're

399
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,440
Speaker 6: able to absorb that a little bit easier, you know,

400
00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,679
Speaker 6: with with how with uh how large those guys are

401
00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:18,680
Speaker 6: at the tap position. So it was just providing you

402
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,359
Speaker 6: a little bit more, a little bit more time and

403
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 6: and uh that that helped them, you know, get the

404
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,200
Speaker 6: ball down the field, and they rushed the ball well

405
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:27,639
Speaker 6: on say Quanta a beast as I've said before. But uh,

406
00:18:27,840 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 6: you know, I know we we have the guys in

407
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,880
