Speaker 1: What was your reaction when you've heard uh that that
Speaker 1: subjects we're gonna cut Cole Um. I didn't actually hear anything.
Speaker 1: I found out a little bit later in the locker
Speaker 1: room that he had been released. So um, I mean
Speaker 1: in this league, I mean, no, nobody's really safe. You
Speaker 1: gotta be able to come in and uh be prepared
Speaker 1: for anything in this league. So I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to say I was shocked or anything, because I've
Speaker 1: seen a lot playing eight years in this game. Did
Speaker 1: you have a chance to see him or talk to him? Uh?
Speaker 1: Since I think the move was named no No. I
Speaker 1: had had a workout before that, and we had team meetings.
Speaker 1: When I came out of workouts, I guess that had
Speaker 1: already happened. I didn't really get to talk to him.
Speaker 1: Why do you think you guys have not been able
Speaker 1: to create as much pressure up front it Maybe you
Speaker 1: would help. I think it's been a mixture of things,
Speaker 1: Um quarterbacks. The first couple of weeks, you know, we
Speaker 1: were getting a lot of hits and uh saxon turnovers,
Speaker 1: So you know, the game plan has been to get
Speaker 1: the ball out and the ball has been coming out
Speaker 1: of a lot faster or they've been max protecting when
Speaker 1: the ball isn't coming out fast. So either way, we
Speaker 1: have to work a little better to you know, get
Speaker 1: that pressure on the quarterback and create those turnovers and
Speaker 1: get sex. So you know, uh, do you feel like cold?
Speaker 1: I think people were surprised by that. Um. I mean
Speaker 1: you've seen a lot, but still he was the first
Speaker 1: round pick. Do you think that they were spending a message,
Speaker 1: um and cutting him? I can't really stink on that.
Speaker 1: That's a that's a person that decision. And I've told
Speaker 1: you before you always have to be ready in this game.
Speaker 1: You never know when it's gonna be your last own
Speaker 1: or when, uh when when you be released or traded
Speaker 1: or anything. So, um, I don't know them cutting him
Speaker 1: put anybody on notice, as I think that's just the
Speaker 1: business of the NFL. Hey brick, Um, when you look
Speaker 1: at the slow start the offense has gotten off to
Speaker 1: the last few weeks, what what do you think has
Speaker 1: contributed to act? Oh? You know, it's hard to say.
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know a lot of times, just
Speaker 1: trying to put together some positive plays usually helps out
Speaker 1: fast start and it gets things rolling. But um, I
Speaker 1: think we've just have to try to stream together that
Speaker 1: a little bit better than we've been doing. I mean,
Speaker 1: here and there, there'll be some some nice things, but
Speaker 1: just consistently putting together drives and putting together or getting
Speaker 1: you know, into the red zone and ultimately getting into
Speaker 1: the end zone. That's something we just need to just
Speaker 1: do a little bit more consistently than what we've had
Speaker 1: been doing. What do you got what do you feel
Speaker 1: like you guys have to do better in the run
Speaker 1: game breaks? Uh? You know, execution is always key, you know,
Speaker 1: focusing on the details. Um, you know the one thing
Speaker 1: that you know that uh, we always need to know
Speaker 1: the one thing that's you know, letting guys always have
Speaker 1: to make sure that we're all on the same page.
Speaker 1: You know, one guy messes up on offense, that can
Speaker 1: it can be Uh, it can really detract from what
Speaker 1: we're trying to get accomplished. So just making sure that
Speaker 1: all eleven are executing. Uh, what's what's going to be
Speaker 1: most important for us to get back on track. What's
Speaker 1: the confidence level with the team right now? And then
Speaker 1: the confidence this time and you know there's a lot
Speaker 1: of teams in our situation right now, we just have
Speaker 1: to know, Um, we we just realized the situation we're in.
Speaker 1: You know, we definitely know that these games coming up
Speaker 1: means that much more. Uh. And if we're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: separate ourselves from the path, we need to start putting
Speaker 1: together someone. Does the team still believe Ryan he's the
Speaker 1: guy a quarterback? Oh? I mean that's that's never been
Speaker 1: a question. Um, you know, he's definitely our leader, I think, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he definitely does great things for us. And
Speaker 1: again it's not any one position or any one person,
Speaker 1: it's really the collective that has has really caused us
Speaker 1: to to you know, not uh function at our when
Speaker 1: when we all are on the same plage and when
Speaker 1: we all are executing at a high level, I think,
Speaker 1: and that's when we can really reach the benefits of everybody.
Speaker 1: But I don't think that's a lay now.
