1 00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,080 Speaker 1: Guys, I appreciate you hanging on a couple of minutes. 2 00:00:02,120 --> 00:00:03,320 Speaker 1: I want to talk to a few of our players 3 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,000 Speaker 1: for coming in here. I'm a little bit slow to 4 00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: the locker room. So that'll probably a running theme going 5 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: forward forever. Um, listen, just to kind of sum up 6 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,560 Speaker 1: the game right now, as far as the feeling, obviously, 7 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: we played a good team tonight. We can't give a 8 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: team like that extra opportunities. We can't give them short fields. 9 00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: You know, teams like that are gonna make the most 10 00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 1: of it. They're well coached, they're very talented. They've exposed 11 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: the players, they have a good pass rush, and they 12 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,080 Speaker 1: have opportunity to dbs that we allowed to make plays. 13 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: That being said, I'm very proud of the way our 14 00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: team fought. I'm very proud of the way they finished 15 00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 1: the game in the second half. Our defense going out 16 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,520 Speaker 1: there not giving up any points or offense, going out 17 00:00:37,520 --> 00:00:39,559 Speaker 1: there and moving the ball down the field and take 18 00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 1: advantage of situations. Yeah, I thought the two minute drive 19 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: at the end was very telling of the fight we 20 00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: had and at the end with the party and they 21 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:49,479 Speaker 1: had with the penalty, you know, obviously that's something we 22 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,920 Speaker 1: gotta clean up and we can't shoot ourselves in the foot. 23 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 1: So again you can church up that language right there 24 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: and the quotes Jordan's um. But at that point of 25 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 1: opening for questions, Z Hey, Joe, obviously everything, the thing 26 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 1: on everybody's mind is about say kwan uh going down 27 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: here in his knee. I'm scuriously if there's anything you 28 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 1: can update us with that. And how much of a 29 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,840 Speaker 1: blow is that a guy like him was obviously su 30 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,679 Speaker 1: an important part of your offense going down as early 31 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:15,840 Speaker 1: as he did like that. Well, let's say, first off, 32 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 1: I thought the offense made really good adjustments to the 33 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:19,640 Speaker 1: game plan as we went for a number of reasons, 34 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: one of which obviously being the injuries in terms of 35 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,920 Speaker 1: say Kjuan individually. I don't have a diagnosed on his 36 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 1: Knee's gonna see some doctors tomorrow. We'll wait and see 37 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: what that is. Obviously we're all praying for the best. 38 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: I would just say this, you know, regardless wherever the 39 00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,039 Speaker 1: outcome is gonna be on with the doctor say tomorrow, 40 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: wouldn't fall asleep on twenty six. It's gonna be hell 41 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 1: of a story either way. Thanks, don't leave, Joe. How 42 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: did you think Daniel manage the clock there at the end. 43 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 1: I know he had no timeouts, but the team you 44 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 1: guys were taking a lot of the underneath stopping not 45 00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: any you know, shot down field. Well, I thought we 46 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: had time to move the ball, you know. Obviously I 47 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 1: had to use the time outs in the four minute 48 00:01:57,840 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: aspect of it to make sure we had time when 49 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: we got the all back. That's the situation we practiced regularly. 50 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,520 Speaker 1: I thought Daniel in the offense did a good job 51 00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,480 Speaker 1: put us a position, you know, clock that we had 52 00:02:06,520 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: to stop it. We got the passes out. We did 53 00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: a good job overall as far as moving the ball 54 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,760 Speaker 1: systematically down the field. And look, you're staying on the 55 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,240 Speaker 1: ten yard line with you know, one play to go. 56 00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 1: That's really what you're working for in the in the 57 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: two minute drills, just to give yourself an opportunity. You know. 58 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 1: I thought the way it was called was the right way. 59 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: I thought the way our players executed. We converted some 60 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: third downs and fourth down in there. You know, we 61 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: gave ourselves a chance. Obviously, have to limit dependalty on 62 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 1: the last play um, but Daniel did a good job 63 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,600 Speaker 1: extending to play, moving out of pocket, give himself a 64 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: chance to find a throw. You know. Obviously, look it 65 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: wasn't good enough because we didn't win the game. UM, 66 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: but it was something right there. I thought we worked 67 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:44,400 Speaker 1: on that showed up show two moments I'm wondering how 68 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,239 Speaker 1: you handle. One was when you had to carry Sekun 69 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: over to the sideline. Just what the emotions were during 70 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:54,240 Speaker 1: that time. And then how did you handle halftime because 71 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: it did seem like your team really responded coming out 72 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 1: of the half well. And be honestly, a half time 73 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,639 Speaker 1: was a lot like the pray because you guys wrote 74 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,280 Speaker 1: about us restarting. We we didn't come out here with 75 00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: the right kind of energy to start the game. It 76 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: was a wake up and go deal. And that starts 77 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: with the coaches. Okay, that starts with me. So we 78 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: had to kind of restart ourselves a little bit there 79 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: at halftime and make sure we came out understanding there's 80 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,239 Speaker 1: thirty more minutes of football. We're gonna give ourselves a 81 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: opportunity to win. UM. In terms of carrying Sa Kwan 82 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,799 Speaker 1: off the field, that was just simply he's a big 83 00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: dude and I want to make sure we can get 84 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: him over there with as you know, least amount of 85 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: stress on his leg as possible and you know kind 86 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,720 Speaker 1: of just take the weight off, you know, Yeah, you 87 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,320 Speaker 1: don't want to carry any player off the field. Yeah, 88 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 1: I just say any update on Chap nothing officially, No. 89 00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: He Um, it looked like the defensive back landing on 90 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 1: his foot at the end of the first half. He 91 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,760 Speaker 1: caught that big ball across the middle and that you know, 92 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 1: two minute sequence we had the end of the first 93 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 1: half getting field goal range. He tried to play through it. 94 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 1: Obviously it was something that he couldn't really run full 95 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: speed on. So he'll also see the doctor. We'll see 96 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:58,520 Speaker 1: where he's at. And then just defensively, Uh, you know, 97 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:00,320 Speaker 1: how tough was it to stick with this sort of 98 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,920 Speaker 1: you know, kind of passive You know, you weren't rushing 99 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,760 Speaker 1: a lot of guys, weren't blitzing because it wasn't working early, 100 00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 1: but it seemed to come around. Yeah. I mean this team, 101 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: you know, obviously presents you with a lot of things 102 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: you have to deal with. Um, you know, whether you 103 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: can rush four or five at times, you know, you 104 00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:15,800 Speaker 1: had to put some extra guys in coverage. Way they're playing. 105 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,359 Speaker 1: The extended plays got us early. The touchdown on the 106 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: first drive really result and extended play by the quarterback, 107 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: and then the same thing at the end of the half. 108 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: You know, we've got to make sure we finished. That 109 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 1: was partly the emphasis of keeping you know, an extra 110 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 1: guy in coverage to really kind of watch the quarterback 111 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: and try to eliminate some of those you know, extended plays. 112 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:34,919 Speaker 1: But in terms of just going ahead and rushing, whether 113 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 1: it's rushing with three, four or five at different times, 114 00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, I think we have the personnel that we're 115 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: able to do some of that with within the scheme. 116 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: So these guys have to understand, you know, what the 117 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,919 Speaker 1: scheme calls for. It's not always a sack situation, you know, 118 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 1: just collapse in the pocket, putting some pressure on guys. 119 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,039 Speaker 1: You know, I thought they did a decent job overall. 120 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,720 Speaker 1: Obviously there's some plays that we've got to clean up 121 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: on right there. Um, you know, we've got to start 122 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 1: a little bit better than the fourth quarter right there. 123 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,600 Speaker 1: That was something that kind of showed up early on. 124 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,119 Speaker 1: But the defense did the good job throughout the second 125 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: half of kind of been don't break. That's not really 126 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 1: a trademark. We're looking for. The most important thing is points. 127 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: You know, defensively, and they stood up in the second 128 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 1: half and they were good and all the drives thy sure, 129 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 1: Chris hey coach, whatever being that happened in the first 130 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: half with Lockley out, check goes down later to Ron, 131 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: the two turnovers by Jones, and then you find yourself 132 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: in a position you come down to last play of 133 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 1: the game. What does that tell you about your team 134 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: right now? You know what we asked those guys today, 135 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: We said we're gonna find out a lot about ourselves. 136 00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: We came out at halftime we said, we're gonna find 137 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,160 Speaker 1: a lot out about the team we are. You know, 138 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: you're down seventeen nothing. What kind of team we're gonna have. 139 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,359 Speaker 1: It's never about what happens, see, it's about how you 140 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: respond to it. I like the way our guys responded. 141 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 1: We've got the right guys. We've got the right kind 142 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 1: of guys. Okay, we've got to clean some things up. 143 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,920 Speaker 1: We've been improved by not putting ourselves behind in games, 144 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: by making mistakes that we can control. You know it 145 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: starts of turnovers, penalties and mental areas. Really, the mental 146 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: areas were good on today. We played a smart brand 147 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 1: of football. We some things we get to finish, but 148 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,360 Speaker 1: the turnovers, that's hard to overcome. The penalties, we didn't 149 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: have a ton, but when you have them, they're always costly. 150 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,240 Speaker 1: So we've got to start with the things that we 151 00:06:06,279 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 1: can control, and we have to play a good brand 152 00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: of football. In terms of the guys in the locker room, Look, 153 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: it's a tough, resilient group, it really is. It's a 154 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: young team that's learning a lot, but they're learning a 155 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 1: lot in these first two weeks about what we have 156 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: to do as a team to capitalize on our opportunities, 157 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920 Speaker 1: and we have to make sure we stopped spotting opponents 158 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,560 Speaker 1: opportunities to take advantage of our mistakes. Thanks Culture, we've 159 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,520 Speaker 1: got time for three more Rock Bardo and Jordan's ton 160 00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: Rock Joe, what did you think of Dion's performance? Probably 161 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,080 Speaker 1: more characters than he's had in quite a while. And uh, 162 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: obviously you didn't foresee any of that, any of this happening. 163 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 1: But what went into sitting sitting Wayne today. Yeah, we 164 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: just made the best decision personnel wise of what the 165 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,560 Speaker 1: game plan called for. There's a lot of things that 166 00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: factor in it. It's never just run game or pass game. 167 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 1: At our offense, there's three sides of the ball, so 168 00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: all the roles and factors as well as what the 169 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: defense does on the other side, they all play a role. 170 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: Sometimes you may sit a goun on offense because defense 171 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,200 Speaker 1: may need something extra. So it's never directly related to 172 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 1: just one guy. Uh, there's a lot of things that 173 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 1: go into it. Now, in terms of Dion, I thought 174 00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:12,560 Speaker 1: Dion was able to make some place for us, you know, 175 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: caught the ball in space, able to extend a few plays, 176 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 1: did a good job on the goal line, punching that 177 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 1: ball in on the fourth that fourth and goal right there. So, look, 178 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: Dion is a tough dude. I've been around then for 179 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:23,680 Speaker 1: a long time. One thing you know about Dion is 180 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: he's prepared, and the guys really respond to him because 181 00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:27,880 Speaker 1: he is a tough dude and he's got that look 182 00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,240 Speaker 1: in his eye. He's gonna do whatever it takes to, 183 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,440 Speaker 1: you know, work with the team and benefit the team. 184 00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: So I was proud for how he played out there tonight. Lombardo, Hey, Joe, 185 00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 1: you had a Nate Evner in there at safety early 186 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,080 Speaker 1: in the game. I'm just curious what went into that decision, 187 00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: And it seems like he kind of got cut out 188 00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 1: of position on that early Bears touchdown. Just um, we 189 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: went into playing him there and um, your thoughts on 190 00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: what happened on that play. Yeah, we're gonna use everyone 191 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: in a roster in every game plan. However we see 192 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: the benefit us. There are some situational calls where we 193 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:00,360 Speaker 1: thought that he was a good fit for We're looking 194 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: to do both with his communication awareness on the defense. 195 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: He's a very experienced player and it's a very very 196 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 1: smart player, a very smart player. You put him on 197 00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 1: the field. He's a guy that players can play faster 198 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,080 Speaker 1: when he's around because he kind of calms everything down. 199 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 1: You know. That being said, we had some specific roles 200 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: for him within the game plan. He happened to be 201 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: in it, you know, early in the game. But we 202 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,200 Speaker 1: won't hesitate to play nat in a situation. Last question 203 00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: here Jordan's age of where does the team go without 204 00:08:28,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: Sae Kwon Barkley if he's out long term, which seems likely, 205 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: we go back to work. That's where we go and 206 00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: go back to work on Wednesday, we start plugging ahead. 207 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: We've got a tough opponent next week. You know they're 208 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,400 Speaker 1: gonna be hanging on the East coast waiting for us. 209 00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:43,880 Speaker 1: You know, next Sunday, that's where we go. Our vision 210 00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:45,960 Speaker 1: has to be forward. Whatever happened today, win or loss, 211 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: it's over today's games over. What's important is our players 212 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: learn from what happened, We clean up the mistakes, and 213 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,160 Speaker 1: we push forward, and we go to work with the 214 00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: right mentality, which I know our guys will. And also, like, 215 00:08:57,960 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: how do you make sense of Daniel right? Just just 216 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: obviously a lot of good he's doing the second half. 217 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,280 Speaker 1: You know, he was really good in that second half, 218 00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: But there's two more turnovers today. That's four in two 219 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: games so far. There's there's been a lot of good, 220 00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 1: but then you still have four turnovers in two games. 221 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: We've gotta keep this guy playing aggressive. He's a tough dude. 222 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: He's standing in the pocket. Uh. We'll watch the tape 223 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,560 Speaker 1: talk and address some things with him specifically internally, but 224 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,079 Speaker 1: I like the way he's playing aggressive and giving us opportunities, 225 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:24,920 Speaker 1: you know, in some tough situations. You know, as a team, 226 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 1: we have to stop shooting ourselves in the foot.
