Speaker 1: What happened on the on the first reception when they
Speaker 1: should have been up they handle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I should have handed it off, as simple
Speaker 2: as that. You know, it was an option play with
Speaker 2: George coming backside to toss it to him. You know,
Speaker 2: once I pulled it to go toss it to him,
Speaker 2: wasn't there. So I tried making something up and just
Speaker 2: scrambling to the right. At that point, I gotta know
Speaker 2: that the linman a downfield, and I just gotta try
Speaker 2: to get what I can get. But to throw the
Speaker 2: ball in itself would be a penalty, and I gotta
Speaker 2: be better. So I saw Elijah on the corner of
Speaker 2: the end zone. Tried making something happen there, but regardless,
Speaker 2: it would have been a penalty.
Speaker 1: So that's on me.
Speaker 2: Fuck, how you.
Speaker 1: Only cleared yesterday?
Speaker 2: How do you feel like you were?
Speaker 1: Yeah? No, I felt a one hundred percent.
Speaker 2: You know, all week, my symptoms and stuff weren't as
Speaker 2: bad and compared to many other concussions that the team
Speaker 2: has had, and I was doing fine and was was
Speaker 2: doing great for each phase of the protocol. And then
Speaker 2: when I got cleared, we all, we all thought I
Speaker 2: was gonna get cleared, and sure, enough.
Speaker 1: I did so I fell one hundred percent going into
Speaker 1: this game.
Speaker 2: He took a pretty hard hit.
Speaker 1: Your head hit the turp pretty hard.
Speaker 2: No, Yeah, it's just the typical whiplash of a play
Speaker 2: like that. You know, Uh, head goes back, hits the ground.
Speaker 2: But you know it's like any other body part, you
Speaker 2: get hit and shake it off a little bit.
Speaker 1: So I'm good from that. When you guys were you
Speaker 1: were making it a point every week to say, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna let all this attention defind me or who
Speaker 1: I am or what I'm probably go about my job.
Speaker 1: And maybe it's maybe it's easier to do that when
Speaker 1: you're winning and now you've been tested with restrain losses.
Speaker 2: What's you're what what you're thinking now? Yeah, obviously I
Speaker 2: want to be better, you know, for this team, for
Speaker 2: this organization. Just taking care of the ball and some
Speaker 2: crucial parts of the games. You know, that's that's the NFL, man,
Speaker 2: It comes down to it. You're not going to just
Speaker 2: blow teams out every week. It's you take care of
Speaker 2: the ball and you gotta play good team team football.
Speaker 1: And you know that's where I'm at with that.
Speaker 2: But in terms of yeah, you have three losses, and
Speaker 2: as a quarterback, you take a lot. I take that
Speaker 2: on myself where I could be better for this team
Speaker 2: and helping us win. But man like who I am
Speaker 2: and what I stand for, that that doesn't that doesn't change.
Speaker 2: Everyone can say what they want, but I know who
Speaker 2: I am as a person, and you know, my faith,
Speaker 2: my relationship with God is the most important, and I'm
Speaker 2: going to continue to rely on that. It's gotten me
Speaker 2: to this point in my life. And I'll always be
Speaker 2: with God and stay firm with God, so you know
Speaker 2: he'll take care of me regardless. So how would you
Speaker 2: diagnose you thirty plus every game last three seam? How
Speaker 2: would you diagnose what's kind of going wrong?
Speaker 1: Offensively? We are kind of like the main focuses as
Speaker 1: you go into mind.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's just finishing drives. You know, we'll
Speaker 2: get the ball moving and we'll start rolling at first downs,
Speaker 2: and then you know, there's just some third downs that
Speaker 2: we gotta convert, convert and be better at. Especially down
Speaker 2: in the red zone. There's you know, points to points
Speaker 2: to be put up for us, and you know, whether
Speaker 2: that's a field goal or obviously converting a they're down
Speaker 2: and continuing the drive to score.
Speaker 1: Like it's as simple as that.
Speaker 2: We're just handcuffing our stuff with ourselves with certain certain
Speaker 2: plays and that's that's really what it is. But you know,
Speaker 2: we'll move the ball and feel good about it, but
Speaker 2: we just gotta continue to finish those drives. It's as
Speaker 2: simple as that. So yeah, I love the.
Speaker 1: Absences of Divo and Trent Actor who is.
Speaker 2: Lack of chat.
Speaker 1: Really love him, honestly. I think the old line has
Speaker 1: done a great job. You know.
Speaker 2: Obviously Trent is probably is the best in the league
Speaker 2: obviously at his position. So yeah, of course we won't
Speaker 2: trying out there debo.
Speaker 1: As well for how explosive he is.
Speaker 2: But you know, we got there's still plays out there
Speaker 2: we made and and we're still moving the ball. This
Speaker 2: offense is good. The players that we have in it
Speaker 2: is good. To have the guys back would be great. Obviously,
Speaker 2: they're really good and we love playing with them and
Speaker 2: they bring just a juice and energy to the offense
Speaker 2: that we need for sure.
Speaker 1: But yeah, simple as that. How do you.
Speaker 2: Balance playing free but also pressing in those late game
Speaker 2: situations where you've had some of those turnouts. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: there's definitely gotta be a fine balance to that. It's like, man,
Speaker 2: trusting the play, trusting what we're trying to do, uh,
Speaker 2: the boys trying to get open, the offensive line and
Speaker 2: the protection, the play call, trusting that and then you know,
Speaker 2: if it's not there, try to make something happen, but
Speaker 2: don't force it and clearly and towards the end of
Speaker 2: the game up that's what I was doing, was, you know,
Speaker 2: starting to force things and not see things clearly. You know,
Speaker 2: with the second pick to IUK, it's like, man, you know,
Speaker 2: don't force things and let the game come to you
Speaker 2: and and if it's not there, then try to make
Speaker 2: something happen. But even when you're trying to make something happen,
Speaker 2: be smart with it as well. So definitely a fine
Speaker 2: line to it. And I had to learn the hard
Speaker 2: way today. Having the week now, see that again, how
Speaker 2: do you you have week? It is the timing of it. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously going into the bye week, it's like, ma'am,
Speaker 2: you wanna win, have some momentum created for the second
Speaker 2: half of the season. You know, to to have a
Speaker 2: loss like that, you know, it hurts, you know, Now
Speaker 2: we have to wait fourteen days to play our next game,
Speaker 2: for our next shot, our next opportunity, and it and
Speaker 2: it hurts.
Speaker 1: We have a bad taste in our mouth.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's like, ma'am, I got
Speaker 2: this is a good gonna be a good time for
Speaker 2: us to do some reflection. And I think all of
Speaker 2: us are really hungry for, you know, the second half
Speaker 2: in this in this stretch that's about to go down,
Speaker 2: so we'll be ready for it.
Speaker 1: Thanks. Thanks,
