Speaker 1: Zach, what are your what are your thoughts right now?
Speaker 1: What do you do you take away from this game? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm disappointed, obviously, I'm seventeen nothing. I've kind of been
Speaker 1: in the same same belt a couple of weeks ago. Um,
Speaker 1: we gotta find a way to finish. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: not the ending of the game that I envisioned. Um,
Speaker 1: we gotta keep our foot on the gas. Can't have
Speaker 1: I had a mental mistake, little little things at the
Speaker 1: end of the game. Get back to bite you, even things,
Speaker 1: even little mistakes that you're doing at the beginning to
Speaker 1: get other game. I'm back to by you. Tough, tough loss. Um,
Speaker 1: no other way to play it. Did you think the
Speaker 1: team was beyond just kind of not closing. Um, I mean,
Speaker 1: like I don't really reflect on that. Like I was
Speaker 1: just trying to take a week by week. Um, and
Speaker 1: when we're up seventeen points in the fourth quarter, we
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta win the game. I mean, that is
Speaker 1: the bottom line. There's no other way to put it,
Speaker 1: and there's no there's no feel good around. Hey, we
Speaker 1: were up seventeen points. Out is really irrelevant. Um, when
Speaker 1: you find a way to lose, like that given dominant
Speaker 1: you guys worked throughout the four team. Where does this
Speaker 1: loss for you guys? Yeah, I mean extremely difficult. I mean,
Speaker 1: we pride ourselves on being a physical football team, a
Speaker 1: team that wears teams down in the fourth quarter, and
Speaker 1: there've been two times on the year where we've just
Speaker 1: not finished and we gotta just play better in the
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. We gotta finish games. I mean that is
Speaker 1: the mindset. We gotta have the mentality that we're finishing
Speaker 1: everything we start and we start off hot. I mean,
Speaker 1: we were preaching for so many weeks we gotta start fast.
Speaker 1: We got to start fast, um, and we're always finishing
Speaker 1: well at the time, but now it's almost the opposite.
Speaker 1: So we just got to get back to the basics,
Speaker 1: focus on little things that don't let those little things
Speaker 1: add up to um losses. At the end of the day,
Speaker 1: was the worst loss of his career. Um, it's definitely, uh,
Speaker 1: definitely up there. I mean I've been in unfortunately, I've
Speaker 1: been in some losses where we really didn't have a chance.
Speaker 1: This one hurts because we were we freaking had it. UM.
Speaker 1: So I say, in terms of like gut wrenching, this
Speaker 1: is freaking top two for sure, top three, um, some
Speaker 1: other way to put it. Change n after that A
Speaker 1: d you know clinic? Um yeah, I don't know, I though.
Speaker 1: I mean I didn't feel when did I didn't feel
Speaker 1: gassed by any means. I can only speak for myself.
Speaker 1: We pride ourselves on being one of the most well
Speaker 1: conditioned teams in the league. Um, so in terms of
Speaker 1: running out of gas, I don't think that was this year.
Speaker 1: I think it comes down to execution down like, well,
Speaker 1: like we let our foot out the gas. Uh No,
Speaker 1: I mean we just didn't execut. That's the bottom line.
Speaker 1: It's not like we were going out there and say,
Speaker 1: oh we're good. Uh, we're seventeen nothing, the game is over. Um,
Speaker 1: we just did next year. I mean, Theo's games have
Speaker 1: about executions, and they executed much better than we did
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter down to stretch. Um. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I have to look back on the film. I don't
Speaker 1: think much change. They kind of played two man on
Speaker 1: the third down the alshon um. But I mean those
Speaker 1: guys were making players all day too. So al Sean
Speaker 1: Dallas played extremely well. So he's gonna throw the ball too.
Speaker 1: Who's ever open um, and so it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm challenging it to bounce back, you know called trip
Speaker 1: later in the week. And yeah, I mean it's not
Speaker 1: a deal. Obviously, wish we had a home game. Um,
Speaker 1: I was. We were playing on Thursday. Honestly, get this
Speaker 1: freaking game out of our system. But I mean Jacksonville
Speaker 1: is a physical football team, so and we just played
Speaker 1: a really physical football team. So we gotta get our
Speaker 1: bodies right, um, early in the week and then attack
Speaker 1: this week of practice. Not gonna be a week where
Speaker 1: we're just going through the motions by any means. We
Speaker 1: gotta freaking attack this week. Um, and starts on Wednesday.
Speaker 1: Was that defensive Carson? Oh yeah, Um, I'm not. It's
Speaker 1: really not worth talking about. It's not what worth wasting
Speaker 1: my breath over it. Um, it is what it is.
Speaker 1: I thought you hit Carson. There's a handoff, So that
Speaker 1: is what it is. You talked about the physical challenge
Speaker 1: of being ready for somebody. What about the mental challenge
Speaker 1: of getting past what happened today? Yeah, I mean it
Speaker 1: it is. It is tough. I mean, we just gotta
Speaker 1: learn from it. We can't let this get our spirits down.
Speaker 1: We got our whole season in front of us. I
Speaker 1: know we keep saying that after every loss that we
Speaker 1: can't get two down our whole seasons in front of us,
Speaker 1: but a level of urgency we just gotta go. We
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to win games. We're just letting
Speaker 1: games slip where we have no business losing. UM. And
Speaker 1: good teams, championship teams, like we said, and like we
Speaker 1: think we are, do not let that happen. UM. And
Speaker 1: so we got attack this week of practice. We got
Speaker 1: attack the Jaguars on Sunday, UM, and then hopefully get
Speaker 1: some time off to rest our bodies at least the
Speaker 1: mess four press. Now, you guys see pressure. Um, I
Speaker 1: think playing in the city there's always pressure to win
Speaker 1: football games. I don't think, and from my perspective, I
Speaker 1: don't really I just try and go out there do
Speaker 1: my job to the best of my abilities. I don't
Speaker 1: really feel quote unquote pressure. UM. Playing in the city,
Speaker 1: you want to do well because we have amazing fans. UM.
Speaker 1: The home home atmosphere is second and none, so I
Speaker 1: love playing here. The pressure is only to be the
Speaker 1: best football team we can be. It's not outside pressure.
Speaker 1: It's more internal pressure to be the best we can be.
Speaker 1: That's how I viewed it. UM. I'm not saying what
Speaker 1: he's saying is wrong by any means. UM. I want
Speaker 1: to make that clear. UM, but I can only speak
Speaker 1: for myself. Overshadowed in a way that game end is
Speaker 1: the fact that Carson was having a phenomenal game and
Speaker 1: specifically you know the baulk up between the two of you,
Speaker 1: who can continue speak to that and he is really
Speaker 1: on it on a role together. Yeah, we thought going
Speaker 1: into the game there's gonna be opportunities for us to
Speaker 1: be successful individually. UM. He found me early, found me
Speaker 1: often early. UM. I just try to make the most
Speaker 1: of it. When the number was called, I thought we
Speaker 1: were pretty efficient. That's that's the key stat uh that
Speaker 1: I look at is the efficiency the cat percentage. It's
Speaker 1: got to be well over sixty five percent, seventy percent
Speaker 1: seven plus um, and I thought we did that. Um.
Speaker 1: But it was all or not. It really doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: I would take zero catches for Jero yards and win
Speaker 1: a game. Zack. You guys are losing games now in
Speaker 1: which Carson has like a one twenty pass from ratings.
Speaker 1: I would not have thought that was possible. Before him
Speaker 1: in the season. Yeah, Um, I mean we're losing games
Speaker 1: that we shouldn't be losing. When we're up seventeen points
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter, Um, he gotta win those games.
Speaker 1: So we're up seventeen to three in the second half
Speaker 1: against the Titans, we gotta find a way to win
Speaker 1: those games. Um. And Carson's playing out of his mind.
Speaker 1: I always say that, you know, but he shouldn't have
Speaker 1: to feel like he has to carry this football team.
Speaker 1: But the reality is he kind of is. Um. He's
Speaker 1: playing out of the probably the best I've seen him play, UM,
Speaker 1: coming off of injury as well. So it's it's really
Speaker 1: unbelievable what he's doing. Um, But we just gotta make
Speaker 1: plays around him. It's all three phases. It's not like
Speaker 1: the offense, defense, or special team is taking the blame.
Speaker 1: It's all three phases. It's gotta get it done.
