Speaker 1: From the game. Hembry Thomas, he had a knee. He
Speaker 1: was in and out after that. Demo cleared his head injury,
Speaker 1: and Ayuk was in and out with the left shoulder.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, that shoulder in your area is serious, I
Speaker 1: want to think. So. I mean, I know he was
Speaker 1: hurting a little bit, but he was able to play
Speaker 1: through it, so I think he'll be all right. What
Speaker 1: do you take out of this one? I mean the
Speaker 1: had a tough time getting off the field of the
Speaker 1: first half and then really turned it on the second half.
Speaker 1: The offense would he would he take? I mean, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that happened with all three phases,
Speaker 1: you know. I think the what sealed it and allowed
Speaker 1: us to separate ourself with our was the two turnovers.
Speaker 1: We got one Demo awesome job jumping that and then
Speaker 1: Isaiah on the other with the tip, and then we
Speaker 1: didn't turn it over on oh I missed a couple
Speaker 1: that we had a chance on to get that score going.
Speaker 1: So we weren't perfect in that way, but I was
Speaker 1: just pumped. The way we finished getting those turnovers was huge,
Speaker 1: and especially that fourth and one with Isaiah there towards
Speaker 1: the end of the game, being able to stop them
Speaker 1: in that run to get the ball back to work
Speaker 1: the clock a little bit field. I mean, I thought
Speaker 1: they were all tough ones. I think that the UK
Speaker 1: one was probably his toughest one because it was it
Speaker 1: was just his number one read and it just sailed
Speaker 1: a little bit. The one with Debo, I mean, he
Speaker 1: went all the way across the board and a really
Speaker 1: tough read and yeah, you'd love him to hit it,
Speaker 1: but he didn't miss it. And the one to Jennings,
Speaker 1: that one didn't bother me much. And we're a little
Speaker 1: surprised the balls going there and everyone else is covered.
Speaker 1: He just tried to make a play. But the main
Speaker 1: thing he did today was protect the ball. Besides those
Speaker 1: three misses, which none of them were easy, but he
Speaker 1: took care of the football, didn't give them a chance
Speaker 1: to touch it, and when he was under dress, he
Speaker 1: was smart. Ability that was huge. I mean, they hadn't
Speaker 1: we hadn't stopped him yet, they've been controlling it. Well.
Speaker 1: We had that one missed when we got right in
Speaker 1: there on the fringe and missed the one to b
Speaker 1: A and then I think we got sacked on the
Speaker 1: next one. We had a chance at Debo and then
Speaker 1: they controlled it and scored, and especially with them getting
Speaker 1: the ball in the third quarter, I thought it was huge.
Speaker 1: You know, we got a couple of big plays at
Speaker 1: first year, hoping to get a field goal, but we
Speaker 1: got a bunch of big plays and got down there,
Speaker 1: and to be able to finish it with one second
Speaker 1: with a sneak was big for us. Going in with
Speaker 1: them starting, we were so close. Also, they were scoring
Speaker 1: a lot of points. It looked like we needed points
Speaker 1: at the time, and we also believe we could do it.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I expect a little bit more pass rush
Speaker 1: kind of what we saw towards the end of the game.
Speaker 1: I thought we got to going well there. I also
Speaker 1: thought Stafford did a pretty good job getting rid of it.
Speaker 1: We're in some coverages and he kind of picked that apart,
Speaker 1: similar to what he did last week at Seattle. So
Speaker 1: he's had two really good games and we got to
Speaker 1: tighten it up. I don't know, I'll see when I
Speaker 1: study the film, but I saw him make a number
Speaker 1: of plays there at the end. I thought and thought
Speaker 1: he pressured him sometimes, But I'll see when I was
Speaker 1: study of the tape. No, no, we didn't talk about
Speaker 1: any of that, just discuss halftime. There's not a lot
Speaker 1: of not much time because you know, I'm doing some
Speaker 1: stuff with the offense, and but it's something I'm always
Speaker 1: on the headsets discussing to the whole game. It's usually
Speaker 1: each series there's a couple here and there, and we
Speaker 1: don't need to come into the locker room to talk.
Speaker 1: Usually the locker room is such a rush and they
Speaker 1: got to go cover so much stuff with their players
Speaker 1: that all this stuff usually said before we get in there.
Speaker 1: More not not that specifically. I mean there's a lot
Speaker 1: of conversation, but I thought Steve did a good job
Speaker 1: mixing it up, you know, especially there at the end
Speaker 1: being aggressive. I just thought we were struggling in our
Speaker 1: zones a little bit or so quarterback obviously. I mean,
Speaker 1: I've gotten used to it with him. It's you know,
Speaker 1: it was the look we wanted, which usually means you're
Speaker 1: gonna get about six yards, and it was it's kind
Speaker 1: of a first and ten run basically, even though it's
Speaker 1: a quick pass. But then Debo has a knack forgetting
Speaker 1: a lot more than most people. After that, I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're under center, it's usually it's usually a forward pass.
Speaker 1: It depends how much he bubbles, but we should back
Speaker 1: up enough to where account it as a pass? Did
Speaker 1: it kount as a pass? It didcount as a run?
Speaker 1: All right? Powder run stats. The talent there is a
Speaker 1: huge did you Oh yeah, we definitely did. We watched
Speaker 1: the film from last week and that quarterback is still
Speaker 1: just as good as he's always been. And so it
Speaker 1: is Aaron Donald And like we saw last week, their
Speaker 1: coach very well. They got two good schemes and I
Speaker 1: know they've changed some players from the past, but there's
Speaker 1: still some Hall of famers out there who are playing
Speaker 1: at a high level. Quarterback. Hurry, what do you guys do?
Speaker 1: We just commit everything to him because if you don't,
Speaker 1: he wrecks everything. And I didn't realize it was like
Speaker 1: that in the stat sheet, but definitely didn't feel like that.
Speaker 1: You know, thought he defeated a number of blocks today.
Speaker 1: We were just able to get rid of it before
Speaker 1: he got there and able to run away from him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought he was a stud today. I mean just uh,
Speaker 1: I always get I got to watch the whole tape
Speaker 1: to get through all of it. But I know he's
Speaker 1: made some huge plays. He drove him on a hout
Speaker 1: of bounce route when we were in quarters, which was good.
Speaker 1: The fourth and one was huge because that's a it's
Speaker 1: a Tampa two look, which he's walked on the slot
Speaker 1: and that's a far away from the B gap and
Speaker 1: he didn't hesitate and had a big time tackle and
Speaker 1: then him getting the pick. So, especially with some of
Speaker 1: our DB's getting banged up throughout the game, those guys
Speaker 1: had to step it up because they were kind of
Speaker 1: all over the place, and he did a great job
Speaker 1: at that. Sorry, what's that you think. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's high, but I feel that way kind of every year.
Speaker 1: We're extremely irritated when we don't score, and we were
Speaker 1: to day, but been like that for like twenty years.
Speaker 1: It's it's always frustrating. So you expect to score. That's
Speaker 1: how you try to attack. That's what our players expect.
Speaker 1: And we got a bunch of guys who can make
Speaker 1: plays and that we had some bad penalties there at
Speaker 1: the end, missed a couple explosives. But you know, we
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. I thought we did
Speaker 1: last week too. Hopefully we got a little bit better
Speaker 1: this week and I will continue throughout the year. Especially
Speaker 1: just run and I mean I just think it all
Speaker 1: started with Stafford. I mean just him getting so hot
Speaker 1: there at the beginning, and especially the way he came
Speaker 1: out on that opening drive, kind of attacking our zones
Speaker 1: and looking pretty effortless at it. And once you do
Speaker 1: that and you got to adjust, then it gets a
Speaker 1: little bit harder with the run game too. So he
Speaker 1: did a good job keeping us off balanced, and I
Speaker 1: thought once we tied it up a little bit in
Speaker 1: the second half, things started to go better. Uh not totally,
Speaker 1: because you know, the game is almost over either way there,
Speaker 1: and they could have tried for a hil Mary or
Speaker 1: you never know, four seconds that should end. But we
Speaker 1: felt pretty good with four seconds that for some reason
Speaker 1: they could kick a fastball and have one second and
Speaker 1: run out on the on side kick. So we felt
Speaker 1: pretty good there. It was kind of damned if you do,
Speaker 1: damned if you don't from their perspective the first vis Yes, yep, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was pretty cool. What's that same thing as in
Speaker 1: the week before. I mean, most of our stuff was
Speaker 1: in zones and if you don't get to that quarterback,
Speaker 1: those zones will break down. And he diced us up
Speaker 1: in that way, I thought we tied it up and
Speaker 1: got better there in the second half. And not to
Speaker 1: take anything away from those two players that thought they
Speaker 1: did a real good job, just like they did last week.
Speaker 1: But that's my hat's off to both of them. Man
Speaker 1: and the quarterbackback because he's interception about Oh yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: you can't play cornerback by yourself. You need ten guys
Speaker 1: out there to help you. You need a pass rush,
Speaker 1: you need to mix up coverages. That's I mean when
Speaker 1: you go against some of the better quarterbacks in this league,
Speaker 1: it's kind of always like that, especially you know when
Speaker 1: they have wideouts out there, but it always starts there
Speaker 1: with the quarterback. And I thought Demo from And I
Speaker 1: thought he was one of our better players today. I
Speaker 1: mean just the way he showed up at the end.
Speaker 1: I know they we gave up a number of completions,
Speaker 1: but he was the one to me being the most
Speaker 1: aggressive there in Man, he got that huge pick at
Speaker 1: the end by undercuttingham and and he played real physical
Speaker 1: in the run game two. You always to run at
Speaker 1: the end of the second quarter, Well yeah, just when
Speaker 1: you get to that situation the time if you run
Speaker 1: it in and you get stopped. You know, we didn't
Speaker 1: have any time out, so running the ball is only
Speaker 1: an option if you know you're going to score. That's
Speaker 1: why the other plays we tried to do them as
Speaker 1: fast as possible, and that's why you tell Brock if
Speaker 1: it's not there, try to throw it away as fast
Speaker 1: as you can. One was almost too high, so it
Speaker 1: was scared that they're gonna run one more second off.
Speaker 1: But yeah, when you get to the last play, then
Speaker 1: anything's open because after that play it is going to
Speaker 1: be over. So that's the only time that really everything's
Speaker 1: on the table. All right, Thanks guys,
