1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,239 Speaker 1: Dude, if you decide what you saw on that final 2 00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,240 Speaker 1: run for the first down, and what did it mean 3 00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: to you that the coach has half to put that 4 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of faith in you to make that play. Um? Yeah, situation, 5 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,079 Speaker 1: we got on the perimeter there. Um, you know, I 6 00:00:12,119 --> 00:00:14,720 Speaker 1: want to keep the clock moving with a completion or 7 00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:17,520 Speaker 1: a run, so uh, you know, getting out of pocket 8 00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: on that movement gives you options to do both. I 9 00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,640 Speaker 1: thought they matched Sa Kwan and I saw lane to 10 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,680 Speaker 1: get up and get the first down. So um, I 11 00:00:25,720 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 1: thought it was a good call in the situation and 12 00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: just try to execute the best we could. They were 13 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: kind of able to limit say Kwan in the first half, 14 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,680 Speaker 1: and when did you see in the second half both 15 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:34,959 Speaker 1: out of them and out of Sa Kwon? That helped 16 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 1: them to kind of to get in the group a 17 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,320 Speaker 1: little bit. Um, you know, I think, you know, we 18 00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: made a couple of adjustments at halftime, but a lot 19 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: of it was just just staying at it and uh, 20 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,519 Speaker 1: you know, wearing them down. I think, you know, the 21 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:48,680 Speaker 1: run game will happen like that sometimes where or early 22 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,600 Speaker 1: on the game they match it and they're playing physical. 23 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,160 Speaker 1: But I thought we amped it up in the second 24 00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 1: half and found some creases and then you know, once 25 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: you hit one, it helps the helps the next one. Um. 26 00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,480 Speaker 1: And I thought guys up front died a good job. Sake, 27 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 1: oneted a good job too. You know you feel about 28 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 1: this collection of playmakers, Richie Daniel, guys, guys are making 29 00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:09,520 Speaker 1: plays that if he wouldn't expected. Yeah, I think, you know, 30 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,480 Speaker 1: guys are stepping up, um and some big time situations 31 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,160 Speaker 1: and making those plays. Um. I think we've got guys 32 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:17,559 Speaker 1: across the board who bring a lot of different things, 33 00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: a lot of different skill sets, and um, you know, 34 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,279 Speaker 1: we're trying to bring the best out of everybody. So um, guys, guys, 35 00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: you know, like you mentioned, Bellinger and Richie did a 36 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: good job making some big place for us. Today Coach 37 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: was talking about how this team was figuring out how 38 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: to win, you know what I mean, whether it's Fiel 39 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,600 Speaker 1: holes touched out. What's the biggest takeaway from a game 40 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,600 Speaker 1: like this? Um, yeah, I mean there was another game 41 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:43,920 Speaker 1: it wasn't perfect, especially on offense. I think execution wise, 42 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,400 Speaker 1: there's a lot to clean up for us. Uh, slow 43 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: start in the first half, picked it up a little 44 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,360 Speaker 1: second half, but a lot, you know, a lot we 45 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: can do better. But at the end of the day, 46 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 1: we did enough. We made enough place to win the game. Um, 47 00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 1: And so that's something to to build off of, and 48 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 1: you know, we'll celebrate it tonight, but you know, going forward, 49 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,280 Speaker 1: we're gonna look to clean it up and see how 50 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: we can be better going forward. So um, yeah, I 51 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: think it's uh, it's always more fun to win. You 52 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: can build some confidence off of that, but certainly a 53 00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: lot will work on it takes some some pressure off 54 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: of the offense when you do have a weapon like Ramp. 55 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:18,400 Speaker 1: You know, whis as consistent has it's been in the 56 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,080 Speaker 1: last two years. Yeah, no doubt. He stepped up for 57 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: US big and he's he's been super consistent for US 58 00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 1: UM you know, in the past few years. And he's 59 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: a great, great player, huge asset for US UM you know, 60 00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,240 Speaker 1: so big time for him to step up and make 61 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 1: that kick and of the first half made a read. 62 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: God drops that ball on the outside against his zone. 63 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: But how do you shake that off so quickly to 64 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 1: have the touchdown drive and kind of get right back 65 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: into it in the third quarter like you did. Um. Yeah, 66 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's part of playing the position 67 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,079 Speaker 1: is being able to um, refocus and and get going. 68 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: Um but um yeah, just part of it. You gotta 69 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,320 Speaker 1: be able to move on and play the next play. 70 00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,160 Speaker 1: I thought we did a good job at halftime, you know, 71 00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:05,839 Speaker 1: similar message to stay poised, keep our composure, and um 72 00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:07,760 Speaker 1: do the simple things better. And I thought we did 73 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 1: that in the second half and um, you know, openly 74 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: enough to win the game. So it wtt ter somebody, 75 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: could you take it through our last playing What does 76 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 1: it tell you that Calfkin and David puts the ball 77 00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,200 Speaker 1: in your hands on a big playlist that at the end, 78 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I mean I think, uh, situation like that, 79 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,239 Speaker 1: get outside the pocket. Obviously you want to throw a completion, 80 00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: stay in bounds, or run the ball to keep the 81 00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: clock moving. And um, I thought they matched s Quan 82 00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: in the flat, so I saw land to run, stepped 83 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,560 Speaker 1: up and run, and obviously wanted to protect the ball. 84 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,560 Speaker 1: But um, I think it was a great call. In 85 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: a situation like that, you want to give yourself options 86 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,200 Speaker 1: to to do both things and and I think that 87 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,120 Speaker 1: was the idea there, So um yeah, I thought it 88 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 1: was a good call. And uh, you know, I thought 89 00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: the guy's executed well, I realize you'd rather score a 90 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:56,440 Speaker 1: lot of points and win by two touchdowns. But when 91 00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: you have to be resiliented, opportunistic and figuring out way 92 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:00,920 Speaker 1: to win a game, what do you think that does 93 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,120 Speaker 1: for the team's development long term? I think it does 94 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 1: a lot, you know. I think, Um, like you said, obviously, 95 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,839 Speaker 1: we want to score a lot of points and and uh, 96 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,120 Speaker 1: you know, execute better. I think in certain situations, which 97 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,839 Speaker 1: will certainly look to do. But um, you know, being 98 00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 1: able to win these tough, gritty games when everything doesn't 99 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: go perfect, when everything doesn't go as well as you 100 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,039 Speaker 1: want it to, as well as you planned. Um, you know, 101 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,920 Speaker 1: I think it's important for us shows some mental toughness, 102 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 1: some grits, some resilience, and you know, I think we 103 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: have that in the locker room. So um yeah, I think, 104 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, hats off to the defense too. I thought 105 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,480 Speaker 1: they played great all day. Um you know, they stepped 106 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,159 Speaker 1: up and and uh in some big situations. So um, 107 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, on offense, we've got execute better. Um, take 108 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,080 Speaker 1: a little pressure off of them. Take three more the 109 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: death row to Richie On. I think it's third and 110 00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:55,280 Speaker 1: nine in the third quarter of that fifteen yard or 111 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 1: into traffic. Did that get you going with the death row. 112 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: Um yeah, I think, um you know that drive. I 113 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: thought we got into a good rhythm there. Um, you know, 114 00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:07,920 Speaker 1: execution wise, we were on the ball a little bit 115 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 1: and um, you know, I thought we we did a 116 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: good job. They're kind of keeping the momentum with us 117 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: and moving the ball down the field. But Richie had 118 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,559 Speaker 1: a good, you know, good feel there for the spot 119 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: in the zone and and made a great catch for us. Um, 120 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: so a big time conversion by him. The ability to 121 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,159 Speaker 1: try to refocus after the last week, center up this 122 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,039 Speaker 1: week and second half. How has that changed over the 123 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,360 Speaker 1: course of your career? Kind of kind of knew that 124 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: this isn't a little bit differently. Um yeah, I mean 125 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: I think you uh, you learned that these are these 126 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 1: are long games. Um, They're they're tough games. You know, 127 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: most of these are like today, you know, three point 128 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: game and and comes down to the last possession, comes 129 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 1: down to one score. So um, you know, you can't 130 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,680 Speaker 1: afford to worry about the last play or let that 131 00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,240 Speaker 1: affect you know, any decision you're gonna make going forward. 132 00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 1: So I've certainly learned that, uh over my career, and 133 00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,960 Speaker 1: that's something I you know, I'm always trying to to 134 00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: to do better and to focus on um, you know, 135 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: I think it's an important part of playing the position. 136 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: Do you when when a guy like Kenny, who is 137 00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 1: a veterans used to playing, is not a part of 138 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:15,520 Speaker 1: a game plan like this as a quarterback, what do 139 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,919 Speaker 1: you say to a guy like that to keep him engaged, 140 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: you know, because you might need him next week? Or 141 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,560 Speaker 1: do you manage that at all? Do you factor into 142 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: that at all? Yeah, I mean I've got uh, great 143 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,600 Speaker 1: relationships with with all the guys, and uh, certainly Kenny. 144 00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: I've got a lot of trust and faith in him. Um, 145 00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 1: you know, and he's a he's a hard working guy. 146 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: He's a pro. He knows, uh, he knows what to do. 147 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:40,239 Speaker 1: So he'll be uh he'll be back at it and 148 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,280 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he'll be big time for us 149 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:42,799 Speaker 1: going forward.
