Speaker 1: Fourth and twenty and the fourth quarter. Why did you
Speaker 1: let the punt? There a right decision to punt the football?
Speaker 1: Um with time left, and UM, it was a situation
Speaker 1: where that we we've talked about in practice, you know,
Speaker 1: try to get them to unique formation, try to get
Speaker 1: them to jump, you know, we need to take a
Speaker 1: shot or get the five yards and now we're in
Speaker 1: a field goal range situation. It wasn't a desperation kick
Speaker 1: at the time. UM, and guys, that did the right
Speaker 1: thing in a punting and down the ball thirty five? Yes, correct,
Speaker 1: I think we're at the forty. You don't too happy?
Speaker 1: What did you say to the team? I just told
Speaker 1: him that, uh, you know, UM that basically I was
Speaker 1: gonna walk in this room and just I was gonna
Speaker 1: take it for the team because the way the way
Speaker 1: we've been UM playing and performing. It starts with me,
Speaker 1: and I want to make sure that the guys understand
Speaker 1: that we can't do these things. We can't we can't
Speaker 1: self inflict um and expect to win championship. Teams just
Speaker 1: don't do that, and uh, we're doing that right now.
Speaker 1: So I have to self examine myself. First. Starts with
Speaker 1: me and you know those guys are those guys are
Speaker 1: busting their tail. So, um, we're gonna we're gonna get
Speaker 1: it fixed. It starts with me this week. You talked
Speaker 1: about having a sense of urgency early, but you wanted
Speaker 1: to see it. Thought you saw it in practice, but
Speaker 1: wanted to see it in the game. First quarter was
Speaker 1: not good offensively. Did you think about Tampa in this game,
Speaker 1: because it seems like Carson gets into we just didn't
Speaker 1: have enough touches in the first quarter, like we had
Speaker 1: went to six seven eight something like that in the
Speaker 1: first quarter. Were justn't having enough time, you know, were
Speaker 1: just another ball. Uh and and you know, we talked
Speaker 1: about it on the sideline, getting into a rhythm, but
Speaker 1: you go back out there and then boom, you get
Speaker 1: a spark, you get a big pass, big play, and
Speaker 1: then a couple of times we were on the ball
Speaker 1: and next thing you know, we're in the red zone.
Speaker 1: And then um, you know, we got into our red
Speaker 1: zone offense. So we were able to do it at times. Um,
Speaker 1: but but the play either before that sprung and we
Speaker 1: got a good yardage on it, or or it was
Speaker 1: a you know, a situation where it was you know,
Speaker 1: a penalty and it backed this out on first down.
Speaker 1: It's one of the challenges and one of the fourth
Speaker 1: and one where you in front and down. They turned
Speaker 1: up to be hugely What happened on those two things. Um,
Speaker 1: the um the challenge I thought I saw um when
Speaker 1: I was at that Uh. Obviously a second foot was down,
Speaker 1: the third step was out of bounds on the white stripe,
Speaker 1: and so what I had seen was one wasn't sure
Speaker 1: quite at the time and looking at you know, getting
Speaker 1: the replay that his second step was in third step.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to challenge at that big play of
Speaker 1: the game. Um could have been a big, you know,
Speaker 1: momentum swing right there at that time. So I wanted
Speaker 1: to get that challenge in there. And then the second
Speaker 1: one you asked me the fourth and one, Yes went
Speaker 1: on the score. We read to you the time out
Speaker 1: fourth and one. We were on offense. Um, yeah, playcock
Speaker 1: was running down about hit zero, So, UM, just use
Speaker 1: the time out right there to make sure we had
Speaker 1: the right call on what did you see on the
Speaker 1: Michael Bennett rubbing would have been elation. Um. Those are hard,
Speaker 1: They're they're hard situations. I'm gonna look at the TV copy,
Speaker 1: I'll look at you know, obviously the coach's table, you know,
Speaker 1: briefly and and then see but um, you know it's
Speaker 1: it's tough, unfortunate, you know, um rules the rule, and
Speaker 1: we got to abide by. Concerned about the inconsistency. It
Speaker 1: was the offensive the entire year, even if the games
Speaker 1: have won to the offense seemed to kind of move
Speaker 1: defenses stuck all right about Uh well yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I've been saying. Um, we're self inflicted.
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're shooting ourselves or penalties, turnovers, um,
Speaker 1: that are that are hurting our offense. You know, we're
Speaker 1: we we we seem to move the ball fine out
Speaker 1: in the field, but then you know, red zone, third down,
Speaker 1: our areas that uh um, you know, a heightened awareness
Speaker 1: when we get in the red zone, ball security, all
Speaker 1: those things we talk about from day one, OTAs, Um,
Speaker 1: we're not doing. So we got to get back to that.
Speaker 1: The calculation in your mind when you're going for the
Speaker 1: two point conversion there if you share that the calculation,
Speaker 1: the calculation was to go for two if I make
Speaker 1: it a touchdown wins the game, or if I don't,
Speaker 1: I know what I need to do. I gotta go
Speaker 1: touchdown two point to tie or to win. I had
Speaker 1: to tie at the end. You made the mother right
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, that's that's pretty simple calculation right there.
Speaker 1: It changed. Yeah, so you made the move a left guard.
Speaker 1: Why did you do it, Why did you feel the
Speaker 1: need to do it, and do you think it worked
Speaker 1: out to your satisfaction? Yeah? You know, obviously in fairness
Speaker 1: of both Isaac and Stefan, I want to make sure
Speaker 1: that we evaluate the film on this. And it's gonna
Speaker 1: be hard though, because you know, it's a short week,
Speaker 1: short turnaround. We're onto the giant. So um, I thought,
Speaker 1: you know, initially he played well as it played well. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll evaluate it again and make the decision
Speaker 1: moving forward. We talk about penalties after the fumble. I
Speaker 1: believe illegal formation there procedure penalties of grounding. There's a
Speaker 1: three straight plays there. Why are are those penalties happy
Speaker 1: in such a whole better MTA Well, Um, the illegal
Speaker 1: formation one is just uh, there's really no excuse for that.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just a it's a mental are offensively
Speaker 1: and we can't we can't do that. Um, intentional grounding.
Speaker 1: I understand. I mean, Carson was trying to break out
Speaker 1: of the pile, and I think I think Nelson was
Speaker 1: in front of him, and and I'm not sure if
Speaker 1: the ball quite made it to the line of scrimmage
Speaker 1: at the time, and so obviously by rule it could
Speaker 1: be a you know, intentional grounding. And and those are
Speaker 1: just those are just wounds that we can't we can't
Speaker 1: continue to make. Um And and we'll learn, We'll learn,
Speaker 1: you know, guys will learn. Guys are guys are sick
Speaker 1: of their stomach, you know, and they hate this feeling.
Speaker 1: So we gotta get it, fix it pretty quick. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna get into that, but we just gotta
Speaker 1: make sure we coach it better. The mental air seemed
Speaker 1: to be the glaring thing compared with last year, compared
Speaker 1: to most teams that are that are really good to
Speaker 1: what do you attribute that? It starts with me. I
Speaker 1: gotta do a better job of install it, you know,
Speaker 1: installing the plays. I gotta make sure the guys are
Speaker 1: ready to play during practice, And it starts with me.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna, you know, make sure that they're ready
Speaker 1: to go. This week. This week a tough week too.
Speaker 1: It's hard I mean it's hard. You're on a you're
Speaker 1: on a short week and you have a quick turnaround,
Speaker 1: and you know, we're back in the building tomorrow and
Speaker 1: we're working and getting getting ready for for Thursday night.
Speaker 1: But you know, one thing that I've learned through my
Speaker 1: experience in the NFL is, uh, getting back on the
Speaker 1: field right away is is kind of a good remedy,
Speaker 1: you know, for the team, for the coaches. And then
Speaker 1: that's our focus starting to borrow. Is Carson gonna get
Speaker 1: too much for me? Um? I mean obviously you want
Speaker 1: to limit dat as many as you can, you know,
Speaker 1: reduce the number of hits. Uh active quarterback. You know
Speaker 1: he's gonna move and and uh you know made some
Speaker 1: great place tonight with his legs and and found some
Speaker 1: found some holes to run and to throw out of.
Speaker 1: But you know, we just continue to talk to him
Speaker 1: and and uh make sure that you know he is
Speaker 1: protecting his body. Did a nice job of getting down
Speaker 1: a couple of times too. And you know, he's so aggressive,
Speaker 1: and that's that's what I love about him. You know,
Speaker 1: he's aggressive, he can spin out, he's strong, he does
Speaker 1: some great things back there in the pocket, and UM,
Speaker 1: you know and then and then he can do some
Speaker 1: great things extending place. So there's a fine line, obviously,
Speaker 1: but uh, I want to make sure that you know
Speaker 1: we're right up against that line.
