Speaker 1: Your offense, particularly your offensive line. Three out of four
Speaker 1: games and the first quarters just looked like chaos. Right,
Speaker 1: is that talent? Is it coaching? What's going on? This
Speaker 1: happens again and again. Yeah, I don't think it looks
Speaker 1: like chaos. I wouldn't use that word. I think we've
Speaker 1: been out of sink a few times. But I think
Speaker 1: we have the right guys and we're doing the right things.
Speaker 1: You know. Again, we start off the game with balls
Speaker 1: a little bit low on the first pass of the game.
Speaker 1: Could he caught it? Shitty have caught it? You know. Um,
Speaker 1: we've gotta be able to help those guys out too.
Speaker 1: So any of the steam related, I think it's all
Speaker 1: related games in the run game. Yeah. I mean we've
Speaker 1: been doing things that we've been doing for a long
Speaker 1: time here, running inside zones, outside zones, sweet play. So
Speaker 1: I think we understand what we're doing, but we're we're
Speaker 1: allowing sometimes too much penetration. Sometimes it back's not hitting
Speaker 1: to where I hit it. You know, second play of
Speaker 1: the game, if the back bounces it outside, there's no
Speaker 1: one outside. You know, the defensive defensive ends showing his
Speaker 1: head gear on the inside. So if they keep it
Speaker 1: on the outside. So it's not just one thing, it's
Speaker 1: a combination of a couple of things. You need to
Speaker 1: do something a little differently in terms of the plays. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we just we need to execute the plays better because
Speaker 1: that's what we need to do. See, execution is the answer. Leaper,
Speaker 1: halt and fast fool leaves what happens. Because I've seen
Speaker 1: us move the ball, you know. I saw us move
Speaker 1: the ball and three consecutive drives or three out of
Speaker 1: four drives in the second half against them. I saw
Speaker 1: us move the ball in the second half against Atlanta,
Speaker 1: saw us move the ball against the Jets. So I
Speaker 1: have confidence in this group. We just have to we
Speaker 1: have to do it on a more consistent basis. And
Speaker 1: your three losses, you have a total three boys of
Speaker 1: the first half. Yeah, what's going on in the first
Speaker 1: half design wise, thematically, et cetera. To where you guys
Speaker 1: aren't able to get going with you. We're not executing,
Speaker 1: you know, and we need to stay on the field
Speaker 1: offensively in the first half and not be on three
Speaker 1: and outs one time you can execute. Go on the
Speaker 1: grounds in the first half. O ye brand math because
Speaker 1: he no, Ryan, I was actually in on the first
Speaker 1: series in the UM game yesterday, so you know that
Speaker 1: second run was was was he was in the game there.
Speaker 1: So I don't think it's the matter of the back,
Speaker 1: you know, and that's not the the answer. Hey, it's
Speaker 1: this put him in and then everything's changed. So it's
Speaker 1: a it's a combination of the whole group. So it's
Speaker 1: not adjustment state. It's product productivity that's happening in the
Speaker 1: second not the first. It's not a result of adjustments.
Speaker 1: I think it's guys are making plays when they have
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make plays when we're not making plays
Speaker 1: when we need to make plays in the first half.
Speaker 1: So yeah, because it's not one guy. If it was
Speaker 1: one guy, it would be an easy switch. We can
Speaker 1: move this guy in and move this guy out. But
Speaker 1: it's it's a consistent thing in the other games. We
Speaker 1: had key drops in Dallas on third down where where
Speaker 1: the balls hits us in their hands and we now
Speaker 1: we stay on the field. You know, it's a third
Speaker 1: and five, we complete a pass for a third and eight,
Speaker 1: but the balls dropped on a third night and so
Speaker 1: then we're off the field. You know, it's it's a
Speaker 1: matter of in and again it's not the same guy,
Speaker 1: so it's a different guy each time, where it's not
Speaker 1: one specific thing, so that there's there's plays to be
Speaker 1: made there, we're just not making the plays right now.
Speaker 1: It's that part of the concern you the most, that
Speaker 1: it's a different person in each play and stuff. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it does. I mean, and the guys that we know
Speaker 1: are good football players, you know, but it's it's a
Speaker 1: it's the difference in this league right now is almost
Speaker 1: every game when you look up as a less than
Speaker 1: one score game, it's a one score game in terms,
Speaker 1: but I think thirty one of the sixty two games
Speaker 1: so far have been decided by less by eight points
Speaker 1: or less. So, um, it's a matter of making one
Speaker 1: more play than your opponent. You know. We we had
Speaker 1: a touchdown call back because we lined up wrong, you know,
Speaker 1: And that's a difference in the football game. Miss an
Speaker 1: extra point, mister, field goal, that's a difference in the
Speaker 1: football game. You know. We we get a completion on
Speaker 1: third down, we allow a completion on third down, that's
Speaker 1: a difference in the football game. It's it's just one
Speaker 1: play here or there, and it's it's a different story
Speaker 1: when we're sending here today, We're gonna stay with Caleb. Um.
Speaker 1: Looked at what's available out there, don't feel uh. I
Speaker 1: think the state of kicking in the league right now
Speaker 1: is not very good. There's been a lot of changes.
Speaker 1: Houston change kicker last week. I think Tampa Bay has
Speaker 1: changed their kicker. A lot of people have done that
Speaker 1: and move those things. Compared to what we had from
Speaker 1: a workout standpoint, one of the guys we had worked
Speaker 1: out actually got signed with the Texans and was their
Speaker 1: kicker this week. Um, but we feel in terms of
Speaker 1: what's available out there, we're gonna stick with kid them.
Speaker 1: Given the consistency is on offense, are you open to
Speaker 1: pool and back on tempo to a DVA some of
Speaker 1: the burden on your defense, Yeah, I don't think that's
Speaker 1: a burden on our defense. That burden are the deal
Speaker 1: all the time is we need to execute offensively. If
Speaker 1: we execute offensively, then it's it's not an issue. But
Speaker 1: if your offense is an executing on a consistent basis,
Speaker 1: then that it comes with pattern and the defense that's
Speaker 1: able to feel longer. Now I disagree with that. It's
Speaker 1: plays run. Our defense needs to make stops when they
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to make stops and our offense needs
Speaker 1: to make place. Please when you're are talking about that,
Speaker 1: and in fact that they're most to huddle, and that's
Speaker 1: perhaps why it kind is important. And employees run physically, well,
Speaker 1: what does it do to the defense in the mental
Speaker 1: part of the game when they're out there on the
Speaker 1: field so much part our defense is concerned about making
Speaker 1: plays on the d defensive side of the ball, so
Speaker 1: in our offense is concerned about making plays on the
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. So when I talk about
Speaker 1: time of possession, we have this argument every week. We
Speaker 1: had the same exact plays run in the Atlanta game.
Speaker 1: They had the ball for thirty five, We had the
Speaker 1: ball for twenty five. They ran the same plays that
Speaker 1: we ran, They had the same production that we ran.
Speaker 1: They just stand around a little bit longer than we run.
Speaker 1: So I understand that I'm just and that's the physical
Speaker 1: part of the game. But I'm wondering if you've done
Speaker 1: any studies or anything that to know what it does
Speaker 1: feel personality when you're well. I think when you're when
Speaker 1: you're when you're losing and you're not on the upside
Speaker 1: of it, it can affect you mentally. But if you're
Speaker 1: a competitor, you're not concerned. You're concerned with doing your job,
Speaker 1: not anybody else's job, and not hoping someone else bails
Speaker 1: you out. You mentioned the touchdown that was called back
Speaker 1: on the illegal formation. As much as you prepare, how
Speaker 1: does that happen? That just seems like such an essentially
Speaker 1: incredibly crucial mistake. I mean, it happened to them first
Speaker 1: play the game, so it happens. But they were it
Speaker 1: was a touchdown. I know that. But you don't know
Speaker 1: it's a touchdown when you do it. I mean you don't,
Speaker 1: I don't. I know he didn't do it on purpose,
Speaker 1: but it happens. People line up and sometimes you have
Speaker 1: a receiver cover up, or sometimes you don't have a
Speaker 1: receiver enough on the ball. We've had tackles called in
Speaker 1: two games being too far in the backfield, you know,
Speaker 1: and and had had plays negate it. It's it's just
Speaker 1: one of those deals where, um, it's the first one
Speaker 1: we've had in our four games. But obviously it came
Speaker 1: in a real in opportune time. Players aren't making the plays. Bigot,
Speaker 1: coach that up. How you change that? How you guys.
Speaker 1: Guys make clutch plays. Orgmented drop and Jordan made a
Speaker 1: heck of a catch on a on a deep ball
Speaker 1: down the scene with two guys draped on him and
Speaker 1: took a shot to the head and came up. But
Speaker 1: late game, how do you change? You just keep practicing
Speaker 1: and you keep working on it, and you trust the
Speaker 1: guys you have and I we know we have the
Speaker 1: right players here. We just it's it's a play here
Speaker 1: or play there. You know, we've lost a game by two,
Speaker 1: and we lost the game by three, lest another game
Speaker 1: by ten. We've lost games by fifteen points. So you know,
Speaker 1: you you you hit two kicks and we're sitting here
Speaker 1: three and one and everybody's happy. I mean, there's there's
Speaker 1: no difference. Is that you either make plays or don't
Speaker 1: make plays. And if you're not making plays, you could
Speaker 1: you have to continue to work at them so you
Speaker 1: can make the plays. Are in the NFL thin. So
Speaker 1: you don't throw the baby. You don't throw the baby
Speaker 1: out with the bath water and say, Okay, we're going
Speaker 1: to change our offense, change our defense, and change everything
Speaker 1: we're doing in our approach. It's that we just need
Speaker 1: to settle down, take a deep breath, and when we
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to make a play, we gotta make
Speaker 1: a play. Should Mark the Murray be getting more We
Speaker 1: all should be getting more touches on the offensive side
Speaker 1: of the ball, But when you only have fifty one
Speaker 1: snaps on offense, there aren't a lot of touches. So
Speaker 1: we can stay on the field and snap it for
Speaker 1: sixty eight seventy plays, then we're gonna have a lot
Speaker 1: more balance in our in our run and pass game
Speaker 1: because we're on the field longer. So over the last
Speaker 1: you guys lost six year last day regular season games
Speaker 1: dating back to last season over that period to kind
Speaker 1: of piggyback and what Jed was asking, has there have
Speaker 1: you drawn any conclusions about the league and what other
Speaker 1: teams are doing to you, maybe expectations or falls that
Speaker 1: you might have had about you know, the development and
Speaker 1: things would go. Or is this simply what what you
Speaker 1: are coaching will work. It just needs to be done
Speaker 1: the right way. I think when we have an opportunity
Speaker 1: to make plays, we have to make plays. So that's
Speaker 1: how we look at it. With this, With the way
Speaker 1: this happens, everybody kind of looks at themselves when you
Speaker 1: look over everything. Do you start in certain situations second
Speaker 1: guessing yourself, I should have done this. Yeah, we look
Speaker 1: a look at play calls. You know, what could I
Speaker 1: have done on second down so that second down could
Speaker 1: have put us into a more manageable third down. You know,
Speaker 1: you look at it from that standpoint of maybe, you know,
Speaker 1: we we should have maybe run at this this situation
Speaker 1: so that you had second and ten could have got
Speaker 1: you the third and six. If it gets you the
Speaker 1: third and six, then your choices of play calls on
Speaker 1: third and six are a little bit different because third
Speaker 1: and mediums easier to convert the third and long. So
Speaker 1: we're always analyzing that part of it. You guys, you
Speaker 1: guys doing I mean, I know you have the one
Speaker 1: carried for thirty yards seven. Yeah, we bottled up there
Speaker 1: a little bit. They had seven guys in a box,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple a few times in there and uh,
Speaker 1: triggering a safety on the run on the you know,
Speaker 1: when the tight end block, the safety kind of got triggered. So, um,
Speaker 1: you know, they just they had sometimes they had an
Speaker 1: extra guy in there. But we're still trying to kind
Speaker 1: of run the football so that when we run the football. Um,
Speaker 1: we're putting ourselves in a little bit better situation when
Speaker 1: we get the third down. So, um, you know, he's
Speaker 1: doing a nice job. But all three running backs have
Speaker 1: done a nice job. I think when they've had their opportunities.
Speaker 1: We just again, we're not getting a lot opportunities because
Speaker 1: we only had fifty months naps. Depends on what we're
Speaker 1: we've got play called was do you think eight year
Speaker 1: three execution has been such a big problems for four games? Office?
Speaker 1: I wish I knew that answer, then we could go
Speaker 1: out and fix it tomorrow and they're ready to go
Speaker 1: play the Saints. But I think it's it's just a
Speaker 1: matter of and you see it a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, someone makes a play and makes
Speaker 1: a spark and then everybody starts kind of feeding off
Speaker 1: of that, you know, And I think, um, it's it's
Speaker 1: such a game of confidence, U And as you see
Speaker 1: it being played out across the league, it's the same
Speaker 1: exact thing. You know. It's just who's gonna maybe give
Speaker 1: us a spark to kind of bring the whole group
Speaker 1: along with them. It's kind of what we're looking for
Speaker 1: right now. What are some of the positives to take
Speaker 1: from yesterday. They can build on the team to build
Speaker 1: up to take what's that? What are some of the
Speaker 1: positives that you take from the game after watching the
Speaker 1: film At the team, I just think we're close, but
Speaker 1: we we again we need to make plays. You know,
Speaker 1: when when we have an opportunity to make plays, I
Speaker 1: think our guys gave great effort. Um, But when we
Speaker 1: had an opportunity to make some plays, we didn't make them.
Speaker 1: Why do you injuries at this point again that you
Speaker 1: got to look at the individual injury and kind of
Speaker 1: go through all that and um, you know the predisposition
Speaker 1: of that player is are their hips aligned the right way?
Speaker 1: Are they not align the right way? Did you have
Speaker 1: a pre existing condition going into it? Um, there's a
Speaker 1: lot that goes into it and said they can't. There's
Speaker 1: not just a blanket statement of we have more this
Speaker 1: year than we had the last two years because of X.
Speaker 1: Do you have guys try to play with the injuries
Speaker 1: and there's all after the first series? Does that mean
Speaker 1: they should have been in the lineup? Probably? But you
Speaker 1: know when we when when they worked out during the week,
Speaker 1: they felt like they could go. So you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you're gonna hit on that, and sometimes you're you're not.
Speaker 1: There's some guys you're nervous going into the game. I'm
Speaker 1: not sure how many snaps are gonna get out of them,
Speaker 1: and then you get a ton of snaps. But I
Speaker 1: don't think anybody can predict that an injury is going
Speaker 1: to happen. But obviously not having a couple of those guys,
Speaker 1: you know, really put us in a bind a little bit,
Speaker 1: so reaggravated the same year as he looked at it repuditions.
Speaker 1: Why is that just again, it depends on the individual injury,
Speaker 1: So just are you aware of that? Did you mind
Speaker 1: him saying that I want all of our guys at
Speaker 1: the running back wide receiver spot to want the football.
Speaker 1: I mean that's I don't think you want someone that
Speaker 1: says I don't want the ball more. I think it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's what you're looking for. But again, it's
Speaker 1: it's a team deal on the offensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball that we need everybody. Everybody needs to ball more
Speaker 1: and we need more to We need more than fifty
Speaker 1: one snaps in a game for us to be successful
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball. So when we
Speaker 1: only have fifty one snaps. You know, no one's gonna
Speaker 1: get the ball as much as they should get the ball.
Speaker 1: How do you keep the players from question game? Obviously
Speaker 1: players frustrated. How do you keep them from questioning what's
Speaker 1: happening and keep them one track to try to get
Speaker 1: where you say that they can get. I think they
Speaker 1: have believed in themselves, so I'm not I'm really not
Speaker 1: worried about this group. You know, I've been around a
Speaker 1: lot of different teams, but I think this group's pretty
Speaker 1: close and understands what the task is at hand and
Speaker 1: also understands everything in this league is going to be close,
Speaker 1: and every game you're gonna be in is gonna be
Speaker 1: a you know, a one possession game, and it's it's
Speaker 1: it's about if you're a competitor, you kind of embrace
Speaker 1: the situation and get excited for what's your next opportunity.
Speaker 1: You know you're playing a one in three team coming
Speaker 1: in here. Both if you're watching play last night, they
Speaker 1: don't play like a one in three team. That New
Speaker 1: Orleans Saints are a good football team. You know how
Speaker 1: they lost their first three games. They lost one twenty seven,
Speaker 1: twenty two, they lost another one twenty nineteen. They've been
Speaker 1: close in two of their three losses. You know, they're
Speaker 1: kind of in the same boat as us, you know,
Speaker 1: and they had a close came out to night, they
Speaker 1: wanted overtime, you know, that missed the extra mixed to
Speaker 1: give me field goal right at the end of regulation,
Speaker 1: and then came back and Um showed some great resolve
Speaker 1: and made a big play on an eighty yard touchdown
Speaker 1: pass Um to win it in overtime. So it's it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's about being a competitor and coming back out there
Speaker 1: and you know, we're still standing. We've taken some shots,
Speaker 1: but we're still standing. We gotta go out there and compete.
Speaker 1: Passes yesterday for the offense as far as you know
Speaker 1: going forward, everything I don't I don't know about going forward.
Speaker 1: It just you know, Sam's taking what the defense gives us.
Speaker 1: And in those situations, the defense give us an opportunity
Speaker 1: to throw the ball over the top, and when they
Speaker 1: did that, we took advantage of it. So it's the
Speaker 1: first time we've kind of had a chance to do
Speaker 1: that and when we when when we had the chance
Speaker 1: to do that, I think in doing it to three
Speaker 1: different guys, I think helps us UM, But we know,
Speaker 1: we've always known we've got guys out there that can
Speaker 1: make plays. But if people are always going to play
Speaker 1: back and make us throw the ball in front of them,
Speaker 1: then it's going to be a different story. But if
Speaker 1: people are going to challenge us and try to, you know,
Speaker 1: kind of blitz us a little bit, which Washington try
Speaker 1: to do, try to get a next fun in the
Speaker 1: box like Washington tried to do, UM, then we need
Speaker 1: to be able to hurt him with our our wider servers.
Speaker 1: And that's what That's what happened on those three pass plays,
Speaker 1: particularly on the offensive line personnel as obviously have Denis
Speaker 1: out there, bad out there. Are you sure you have
Speaker 1: the personnel death wise and starting wise and animal winding? Yeah, this,
Speaker 1: Quinton time, you have to. I mean there's there's not
Speaker 1: a bunch of oldlignment on the street. I mean everybody's
Speaker 1: on their different teams at this point in time. So
Speaker 1: you know, you hope JP's healthy this week and if
Speaker 1: he can go. If not, then we gotta go with
Speaker 1: what we got. This was part of this team, though
Speaker 1: we chose to part with him. You've given the issues
Speaker 1: alone the offensive line. You is it a lesson learned
Speaker 1: that you just learned we weren't going to renegotiate his
Speaker 1: contract again, I'll say it again. We were told by
Speaker 1: his agent if we didn't renegotiate, it weren't getting them back.
Speaker 1: So special teams. You know, Michael was active, So then
Speaker 1: it came down to Nagi and Brad on special teams
Speaker 1: as compared to him, somebody we give you as far
Speaker 1: Is that a leadership No, I don't think it's not
Speaker 1: lack of leadership. It's it's making a play on third
Speaker 1: down when we need to make a play on third down,
Speaker 1: or making a play on first down. So whether we
Speaker 1: don't have a play on third down. So I don't
Speaker 1: look at it as a as a leadership thing at all.
Speaker 1: Leadership break down. I like our leadership. I think our
Speaker 1: guys are doing a nice job. It's just you know,
Speaker 1: again like we don't we don't cover receiver up and
Speaker 1: we're in a different football game. You know, we lost
Speaker 1: by three and we have a touchdown callback, So we're
Speaker 1: not sitting there having this conversation questioning our leadership. I
Speaker 1: don't think leadership had anything to do with us covering
Speaker 1: or covering up with a receiver on a pass play
Speaker 1: on third down. You've been well into the forties first
Speaker 1: two years now, Yeah, any common common theme when we're
Speaker 1: not successful is a lack of success on first and
Speaker 1: second down, so that we're giving into longer third down situations. Um,
Speaker 1: it seems like when you when you kind of look
Speaker 1: at it, I think if we can be a little
Speaker 1: bit more consistent on first and second down, the word
Speaker 1: to put us into more manageable third downs being a
Speaker 1: good situation on the guys on the Taxica
