Speaker 1: That means early in the first ten minutes, if there's
Speaker 1: something too there's something happening, too fired up, too amped up,
Speaker 1: anything like that, or do you kind of just kind
Speaker 1: of looking up. Yeah, not really, you know, they're all
Speaker 1: kind of situational. A couple of them have been third downs,
Speaker 1: and um, yeah, I don't think it's anything in particular.
Speaker 1: So to speaks, you've been off, you've had you've had
Speaker 1: a good start and really really good start. You're winning awards,
Speaker 1: three O start everything else. But do you think for
Speaker 1: you to take your game to the next level, you're
Speaker 1: gonna need to win these close games, especially the league
Speaker 1: hold doubt, you know. I mean we all around here,
Speaker 1: you're kind of sick to our stomach where we're at
Speaker 1: right now with just all these close games. You know,
Speaker 1: talked about it after the game with you guys, just Um,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating to not finish, you know, And we've had
Speaker 1: chances and every one of these as an offense to
Speaker 1: go down there and win the ball game or tie
Speaker 1: it up or whatever the case may be. And um,
Speaker 1: it's frustrating. So we all got to do do a
Speaker 1: better job. And that starts with me in those key situations.
Speaker 1: You know, a couple of times, you know, it was
Speaker 1: it was tough. It was one of those things. But
Speaker 1: you know we've moved on. You know, we we've talked
Speaker 1: about it, We've um wrapped it. That's a play we've
Speaker 1: wrapped a number of times. You know, it was just
Speaker 1: we just didn't make the play. But you know we'll
Speaker 1: make it next time. You feel like you're still playing
Speaker 1: the same level. September, I think as an offense, Um,
Speaker 1: I think we came out obviously, UM pretty hot. You know,
Speaker 1: I think we were doing some good things. But um,
Speaker 1: I think we were just we struggle with consistency. You know.
Speaker 1: I think that's something that we got to be better with.
Speaker 1: We gotta be better with our details. Um. So I
Speaker 1: think just consistency and not shooting ourselves in the foot.
Speaker 1: You know, I think some of those whether it's interceptions,
Speaker 1: you know, fumbles, other turnovers, penalties. You know, I think
Speaker 1: we've had a little bit of everything and some of
Speaker 1: these losses that we just got to clean up. Your
Speaker 1: chemistry exactly. Um this past unday versus earlier. Oh hard
Speaker 1: to say. You know, I just think, you know, some
Speaker 1: of the play calls, we're kind of more designed for
Speaker 1: him this week, and again the week prior was just
Speaker 1: kind of what they were giving us, you know, and
Speaker 1: so um last week he was one of the primaries
Speaker 1: on some of those plays, and uh, you know, we
Speaker 1: were hitting him the most prolific offense in the league
Speaker 1: this week. Obviously you're playing the defense, but is it
Speaker 1: in the back of your mind that they're going to
Speaker 1: score some points and you guys have to be a
Speaker 1: lot more productive. Well, we try to put too much
Speaker 1: pressure on ourselves, you know. Honestly, we realized they're a
Speaker 1: good offense, you know, but we think we have a
Speaker 1: pretty dang good defense, um um here, So we realized
Speaker 1: we just got to do our jobs. You know. It's
Speaker 1: the same thing every week that we we kind of preached,
Speaker 1: just go out and execute. And you know, as you've seen,
Speaker 1: we've been in every one of these ball games. We
Speaker 1: just got to learn how to how to finish, um
Speaker 1: and just keep executing. We'll talk about the importance of
Speaker 1: situational football on this level in particular, and how that's
Speaker 1: kind of a learning process. You speak to that, what
Speaker 1: do you what do you learning? What does what does
Speaker 1: he mean by that? Um? Yeah, I mean you try
Speaker 1: and learn a little bit from everything every situation, good
Speaker 1: or bad. Um, all these games. The biggest thing I
Speaker 1: think we all just take away is just lating games.
Speaker 1: You know, I keep saying that I sound like a
Speaker 1: broken record, But it's just executing and finished finishing down
Speaker 1: the wire. You know. It's some third down moments, you know,
Speaker 1: no when to take sacks at times, No, no, when
Speaker 1: the plays not there. You know, there's just things to learn,
Speaker 1: um all the time. And you know, I think as
Speaker 1: a good, good team, we all got to learn from those.
Speaker 1: You know, if we're not learning, you know, we're just
Speaker 1: gonna keep repeating those mistakes. Um. So, so yeah, without
Speaker 1: a doubt, those are all learning experiences. Obviously, late you
Speaker 1: guys don't have a lot of time. Where do you
Speaker 1: feel like you are with your chemistry with him? At disappointment?
Speaker 1: I feel good, you know, I feel very confident. Obviously
Speaker 1: we missed a couple in the game, and um, the
Speaker 1: corner made some good plays and I made some poor
Speaker 1: scrows you know, more than anything, and didn't give him
Speaker 1: really a shot. So I feel more uncomfortable with him
Speaker 1: and where we're at coming out to start a game,
Speaker 1: do you have to try to work hard and try
Speaker 1: to keep your journaling and shack and cold. That could
Speaker 1: be contributing to make some high throws. I don't think so. No.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm pretty calm demeanor guy. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: very confident out there. You know, I I'm very excited
Speaker 1: and I love the game. I'm passionate about it. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, UM, I'm calm when I need
Speaker 1: to be. And I don't think that's that's any the
Speaker 1: reason those interceptions have happened early. And you mentioned like
Speaker 1: the learning experiences that you're getting from all these you know,
Speaker 1: late game situations and everything. How much better is it
Speaker 1: for you to be experiencing that like on the field
Speaker 1: as opposed to kind of like watching from the sidelines
Speaker 1: that put it in the plan originally. Well, obviously, anytime
Speaker 1: you're getting the reps, you're getting out those opportunities. You
Speaker 1: know you're gonna learn more, you know you're you're actually
Speaker 1: out there in those situations. So um, but but at
Speaker 1: this point, you know, we've we've learned a lot, and
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of one of those things we're tired
Speaker 1: of learning some of these things. We gotta we just
Speaker 1: gotta go out and execute. You know, we gotta go
Speaker 1: do the job and actually show that we have learned
Speaker 1: from them. You get a successful I think it's kind
Speaker 1: of just what the defense gives us kind of the
Speaker 1: situations of the game. Um, you know, it's hard to
Speaker 1: say exactly why. I know we want to be a
Speaker 1: very balanced team, and um, the flow of the game
Speaker 1: always just kind of changes. You know. I think a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago I through against Minnesota twenty or something,
Speaker 1: So it's kind of just a flow of the game
Speaker 1: type of thing. Dozen throws on Sunday and on the field,
Speaker 1: which was clearly more than you've had all season. Um
Speaker 1: was that? I mean, going in, did you think that
Speaker 1: was the opportunity was going to be There was a
Speaker 1: something that kind of developed as a game went along. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought we definitely thought the opportunity would be there,
Speaker 1: mainly because of what New York did on defense. You know,
Speaker 1: we thought, um, there are some things that we could
Speaker 1: take advantage of down the field with them. Um. Obviously
Speaker 1: getting Bryce out there, getting it's a speed threat like
Speaker 1: that was huge for us. UM. But yeah, we definitely thought,
Speaker 1: just mainly what New York did on defense that we
Speaker 1: could take advantage of some things perfect. But I mean,
Speaker 1: without a doubt, you know, we love playing here. We
Speaker 1: love being at home. Um, you know, obviously the goal
Speaker 1: is to win every game at home. You know, I
Speaker 1: think that's it's huge for for our confidence, for the city,
Speaker 1: for for the fans and everything. But um, you know,
Speaker 1: we love playing at home and you know we're gonna
Speaker 1: go get it done. When you look at some of
Speaker 1: the tapers, there are things you see mechanically that you
Speaker 1: need to correct them on some person Um hard to say.
Speaker 1: You know, I think there's there's some sometimes that it's
Speaker 1: just mainly with the footwork and just the pocket around
Speaker 1: me that that I could be cleaner. But um, I
Speaker 1: don't think any one glaring thing. Um, so to speak,
Speaker 1: what comes first? You know, you talked about this before
Speaker 1: the Thicker of the egg, that you know, being comfortable
Speaker 1: with the offense and knowing everything and your mechanics kind
Speaker 1: of falling from that or getting a mechanics straight and
Speaker 1: then what has to go first? But they probably kind
Speaker 1: of coincide. You know. I think obviously you have you
Speaker 1: have your mechanics, you're very sound with them, but um,
Speaker 1: your mechanics within the offense can change without a doubt.
Speaker 1: So I think if they kind of coincide as you
Speaker 1: learn and grow within an offense, how do you do
Speaker 1: how do you do the same way? You know you
Speaker 1: don't you don't get too high or low. You know,
Speaker 1: the people in this building, you know, we're the same guys.
Speaker 1: You know, we're the same guys. Win or lose. Um,
Speaker 1: we're ticked off when we lose ball games. You know,
Speaker 1: no one likes to lose and um, But but we
Speaker 1: don't let it affect how we prepare. We don't let
Speaker 1: it affect how we approach every day. You know, we're
Speaker 1: gonna approach every day with the championship mindset um and
Speaker 1: attack it and learn from the mistakes, see where we
Speaker 1: can be better, and just keep getting better. Oh um,
Speaker 1: I see. You know they don't do a whole lot.
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're very kind of basic, but but
Speaker 1: they do it well. You know, they um kind of
Speaker 1: like to keep everything in front of you. They have
Speaker 1: a good secondary um. So so there's some things we
Speaker 1: can take advantage of. You know, without a doubt, they
Speaker 1: got a number of young guys back there. But those
Speaker 1: young guys are playing good football. So um, it's one
Speaker 1: of those weeks. We just kind of got to take
Speaker 1: what they give us and be smart when we take
Speaker 1: our shots. Carson, you mentioned Bryce him getting on the field.
Speaker 1: I think he was only out there for fifteen plays.
Speaker 1: You it is that opening up things underneath a little
Speaker 1: bit of stretch, maybe a little bit um. I mean
Speaker 1: obviously just recalled the big play we had with him
Speaker 1: and um, knowing if they were going to show us
Speaker 1: that that look that we could take that shot. UM.
Speaker 1: I think going forward more than anything, I think we've
Speaker 1: shown now that that he can stretch the field, that
Speaker 1: he has that capability, UM, And I think that will
Speaker 1: help us to open up some things underneath the Carson,
Speaker 1: the dipping offensive efficiency, I think if you look at
Speaker 1: it kind of coincides with the loss of lane. What
Speaker 1: has the adjustment been like? I mean, do you feel
Speaker 1: like that's it's fair to you know, to point that out,
Speaker 1: and what has the adjustment been like? Um, you know,
Speaker 1: we felt really confident obviously the Washington week. There are
Speaker 1: some things we had to kind of iron out. But
Speaker 1: I think you know, Big V has done a great job.
Speaker 1: You know, he's he's come in and UM, he's gotten
Speaker 1: better every week, really every snap, he's out there. Um,
Speaker 1: we have a lot of confidence in him where he's at,
Speaker 1: so we don't think that really has any bearing on
Speaker 1: the losses grow naow
