Speaker 1: Around you see those around. Um, you know, I think
Speaker 1: it's just something that we kind of saw during the
Speaker 1: week and some of the covers they were playing, you know,
Speaker 1: especially they were playing some single high zones, and we
Speaker 1: just felt like, you know, the way we're running the football. Um,
Speaker 1: coming back to some of those rollouts and nakeds. You know,
Speaker 1: it was a good look for us today. Can you
Speaker 1: speak to the protection that you had, I mean they
Speaker 1: were and those guys were unbelievable today. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: not only in the pass game, but in the run game.
Speaker 1: I thought our guys up front were phenomenal. I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know. I think I went to the round
Speaker 1: maybe one time today. I mean, you know, when those
Speaker 1: guys play like that, it's, uh, it makes my job
Speaker 1: a lot easier not to pew with them. But this
Speaker 1: is kind of a patchwork offensive line that hasn't had
Speaker 1: a lot of time together and it hasn't performed well together,
Speaker 1: and two guys are injured. Were surprised that they were
Speaker 1: as effective as they were all in a while. Now.
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got all the confidence in the world
Speaker 1: and those guys, you know, I think we had a
Speaker 1: great week of preparation. Um, you know, we were prepared
Speaker 1: to see some different and difficult looks today. I thought
Speaker 1: everyone was on the same page. Um, you know, but
Speaker 1: I thought those guys up front, you know, they just
Speaker 1: did a great job. You know, you could really tell,
Speaker 1: but they were just wearing them down. I mean the
Speaker 1: way we were able to start running the football at
Speaker 1: the end of the game. I mean, those guys dominated
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage today. And at least one of
Speaker 1: your interceptions. What happened on that one and what happened
Speaker 1: on the on the other one in the rays, Um,
Speaker 1: you know, the first one to Coop, I just missed
Speaker 1: the throw. It was behind him. Um, you know, I
Speaker 1: can't miss that one, you know, behind him. Just got
Speaker 1: to put it back to the piline and let him
Speaker 1: go get it. And then the second one, Um, you know,
Speaker 1: I think the kid made a good play. You got
Speaker 1: to get those short passes going early on to get
Speaker 1: some in the nets. How you started the game. How
Speaker 1: much was that enabling you to get some confidence at
Speaker 1: the beginning getting game. Yeah, you know, I think that
Speaker 1: was huge. I think, you know, one of the biggest
Speaker 1: things for us today. You know, one of the reasons
Speaker 1: we were able to have successes. We were efficient on
Speaker 1: first and second down. You know, we had a lot
Speaker 1: of positive plays on first down that got us into
Speaker 1: you know, second and medium, second and short. And when
Speaker 1: we can put ourselves in that situation, the playbook really
Speaker 1: opens up. Uh, and we can keep the defense off ounce.
Speaker 1: You know, they know that it's not always going to
Speaker 1: be a passive it second along, you know, we can
Speaker 1: still run the ball. UM. You know, So I thought
Speaker 1: our efficiency you know, on first and second down was
Speaker 1: was keyed today? Was this the UM? Yeah? You know,
Speaker 1: I think you know, after what we were able to
Speaker 1: do in the preseason, I think everyone, you know, it
Speaker 1: kind of been waiting for this. UM. You know. It's
Speaker 1: obviously a great feeling, you know, to go out there
Speaker 1: and to be able to do that today. Uh, and
Speaker 1: now it's just something that we got to build on. UM.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's not going to be like this
Speaker 1: every week, but you know, to know that when we're
Speaker 1: clicking and we're rolling, that we can go out and
Speaker 1: do that, you know, I think that's just going to
Speaker 1: give us confidence now to go out there and do
Speaker 1: it more often. Different personnel things to day, some double
Speaker 1: tight ends a lot more than you ahead of the past.
Speaker 1: Was that just to counter the looks they were giving
Speaker 1: you or you thought you could exploit those? Um? I
Speaker 1: think it was kind of to exploit some of the looks,
Speaker 1: um that they were giving us. You know, we felt
Speaker 1: like when we were in twelve or two tight ends
Speaker 1: that you know, early in the game, they were playing
Speaker 1: primarily a lot of man, you know, we liked our
Speaker 1: matchups out there, um, you know, so that's why we
Speaker 1: kept going to that. And then obviously at the end
Speaker 1: of the game, you know, when we kept twelve on
Speaker 1: the field, you know, we were just pounding the rock
Speaker 1: at them with those guys. Do you think it was
Speaker 1: kind of important the way you were able to respond
Speaker 1: after twenty interceptions and cups, he went on and had
Speaker 1: a pretty good game and all that. Is that kind
Speaker 1: of a big standard throdo? Um? Yeah, I mean you
Speaker 1: just keep going, you know what I mean. Obviously you
Speaker 1: don't like to throw interceptions, but you know when you do,
Speaker 1: you just got to forget about it move on. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I thought our guys did a great job
Speaker 1: of just continuing to battle. You know, it'd be easy
Speaker 1: to fold up, you know and say, oh, man, you know,
Speaker 1: Sam's throwing interceptions. We're time, we can't do anything. But
Speaker 1: you know that's really not how it went today at all.
Speaker 1: You know, we just kept going, kept moving forward, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and just really proud of the way we
Speaker 1: came out and you know finished in the second half today.
Speaker 1: Half time, what were you thinking, uh man, you know
Speaker 1: at halftime we'd moved the ball. I think we had
Speaker 1: three hundred yards offense at halftime, you know, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think they had stopped us once. You know,
Speaker 1: we were you know, I was stopping us throwing interceptions
Speaker 1: in the red zone. So you know, we knew it
Speaker 1: was still out there. You know, we knew that we
Speaker 1: were able to move the football on them. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: that really wasn't the problem. So I think, you know,
Speaker 1: a half time we were still confident, you know, and
Speaker 1: then to come out, you know, I think we scored
Speaker 1: you know, first drive out a halftime. You know that
Speaker 1: was big. Guys went forward twice place on board of
Speaker 1: them long outside the thirty five? Were you surprised that
Speaker 1: when you get them, even though you're want to make it,
Speaker 1: when you hear that call come in, what does it
Speaker 1: do for your I guess confidence you're thinking, uh, you know,
Speaker 1: give you a lot of confidence and on the coach
Speaker 1: has you know, the confidence in us to go out there.
Speaker 1: You know, we've got to do a better job converting. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know, I know we missed the
Speaker 1: first one. I don't remember what happened on there. We
Speaker 1: missed them both. Great, okay, good um, but uh, we
Speaker 1: surprised that they were called. I mean it's kind of
Speaker 1: a weird down and the distance and place on the
Speaker 1: field to put you know, I think and yeah, I
Speaker 1: think in that part of the field, I think you're
Speaker 1: always ready to go for it on fourth down, especially
Speaker 1: with coach Kelly. You've got Josh one involved. What we
Speaker 1: need today? Yeah, you know, obviously I think you know,
Speaker 1: we got everyone involved today. I think we spread the
Speaker 1: ball around. You know, we talked about it a little
Speaker 1: bit last week, but I feel like when we're able
Speaker 1: to get everyone involved and spread the ball around, both
Speaker 1: inside and outside, it makes it a lot tougher for
Speaker 1: you know, defense is to reality zone in on you know,
Speaker 1: one or two guys. And I thought Josh did a
Speaker 1: great job today. And the criticism and the scrutiny has
Speaker 1: been tough for the last couple of weeks. Can you
Speaker 1: get a sense of exhaling a little bit that you
Speaker 1: drop this win? Um? Yeah, obviously, you know the win
Speaker 1: is nice. You know. I think the big thing for
Speaker 1: us in this team is just to build on this.
Speaker 1: You know, by no means or we where we want
Speaker 1: to be as a team. But I think today it
Speaker 1: was a step in the right direction. And I think
Speaker 1: if we can continue to build on this, then hopefully
Speaker 1: you know, and you know, three four or five, six weeks, um,
Speaker 1: you know, we'll be in a better position than we
Speaker 1: are now. Sounds like Jim Kelly's talking points games that
Speaker 1: he told him Oh really no, actually great mind sink
Speaker 1: a light, you know, I think ye
