WEBVTT - Press Pass: Chip Kelly 0:00:12.840 --> 0:00:16.239 Your offense, particularly your offensive line. Three out of four 0:00:16.320 --> 0:00:19.120 games and the first quarters just looked like chaos. Right, 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:22.760 is that talent? Is it coaching? What's going on? This 0:00:22.840 --> 0:00:24.880 happens again and again. Yeah, I don't think it looks 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.759 like chaos. I wouldn't use that word. I think we've 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:31.000 been out of sink a few times. But I think 0:00:31.000 --> 0:00:32.960 we have the right guys and we're doing the right things. 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:35.200 You know. Again, we start off the game with balls 0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:36.760 a little bit low on the first pass of the game. 0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:39.240 Could he caught it? Shitty have caught it? You know. Um, 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:40.879 we've gotta be able to help those guys out too. 0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:45.839 So any of the steam related, I think it's all 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.120 related games in the run game. Yeah. I mean we've 0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:50.559 been doing things that we've been doing for a long 0:00:50.600 --> 0:00:54.040 time here, running inside zones, outside zones, sweet play. So 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.840 I think we understand what we're doing, but we're we're 0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.520 allowing sometimes too much penetration. Sometimes it back's not hitting 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.360 to where I hit it. You know, second play of 0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:03.040 the game, if the back bounces it outside, there's no 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.840 one outside. You know, the defensive defensive ends showing his 0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:07.200 head gear on the inside. So if they keep it 0:01:07.240 --> 0:01:09.319 on the outside. So it's not just one thing, it's 0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:13.160 a combination of a couple of things. You need to 0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:16.920 do something a little differently in terms of the plays. Yeah, 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:19.320 we just we need to execute the plays better because 0:01:19.400 --> 0:01:22.360 that's what we need to do. See, execution is the answer. Leaper, 0:01:22.480 --> 0:01:27.200 halt and fast fool leaves what happens. Because I've seen 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:29.080 us move the ball, you know. I saw us move 0:01:29.120 --> 0:01:31.520 the ball and three consecutive drives or three out of 0:01:31.520 --> 0:01:33.240 four drives in the second half against them. I saw 0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:35.000 us move the ball in the second half against Atlanta, 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.480 saw us move the ball against the Jets. So I 0:01:37.520 --> 0:01:39.640 have confidence in this group. We just have to we 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.840 have to do it on a more consistent basis. And 0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.320 your three losses, you have a total three boys of 0:01:44.400 --> 0:01:46.840 the first half. Yeah, what's going on in the first 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.480 half design wise, thematically, et cetera. To where you guys 0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:52.360 aren't able to get going with you. We're not executing, 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:53.840 you know, and we need to stay on the field 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.440 offensively in the first half and not be on three 0:01:56.440 --> 0:01:58.480 and outs one time you can execute. Go on the 0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:04.760 grounds in the first half. O ye brand math because 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.040 he no, Ryan, I was actually in on the first 0:02:07.040 --> 0:02:11.280 series in the UM game yesterday, so you know that 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.600 second run was was was he was in the game there. 0:02:13.639 --> 0:02:15.800 So I don't think it's the matter of the back, 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:18.920 you know, and that's not the the answer. Hey, it's 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.040 this put him in and then everything's changed. So it's 0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:25.320 a it's a combination of the whole group. So it's 0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.959 not adjustment state. It's product productivity that's happening in the 0:02:29.000 --> 0:02:31.840 second not the first. It's not a result of adjustments. 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:33.639 I think it's guys are making plays when they have 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:35.600 an opportunity to make plays when we're not making plays 0:02:35.600 --> 0:02:37.120 when we need to make plays in the first half. 0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.359 So yeah, because it's not one guy. If it was 0:02:40.400 --> 0:02:41.840 one guy, it would be an easy switch. We can 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:43.640 move this guy in and move this guy out. But 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.040 it's it's a consistent thing in the other games. We 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.840 had key drops in Dallas on third down where where 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:50.400 the balls hits us in their hands and we now 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.560 we stay on the field. You know, it's a third 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.280 and five, we complete a pass for a third and eight, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:55.800 but the balls dropped on a third night and so 0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.400 then we're off the field. You know, it's it's a 0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.799 matter of in and again it's not the same guy, 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.280 so it's a different guy each time, where it's not 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.960 one specific thing, so that there's there's plays to be 0:03:05.000 --> 0:03:06.640 made there, we're just not making the plays right now. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.440 It's that part of the concern you the most, that 0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.600 it's a different person in each play and stuff. Yeah, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:12.400 it does. I mean, and the guys that we know 0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.799 are good football players, you know, but it's it's a 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:19.200 it's the difference in this league right now is almost 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.560 every game when you look up as a less than 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.160 one score game, it's a one score game in terms, 0:03:24.200 --> 0:03:25.679 but I think thirty one of the sixty two games 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.119 so far have been decided by less by eight points 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:30.280 or less. So, um, it's a matter of making one 0:03:30.280 --> 0:03:32.720 more play than your opponent. You know. We we had 0:03:32.720 --> 0:03:34.880 a touchdown call back because we lined up wrong, you know, 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:37.200 And that's a difference in the football game. Miss an 0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:38.880 extra point, mister, field goal, that's a difference in the 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:41.080 football game. You know. We we get a completion on 0:03:41.120 --> 0:03:43.160 third down, we allow a completion on third down, that's 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.240 a difference in the football game. It's it's just one 0:03:45.280 --> 0:03:47.280 play here or there, and it's it's a different story 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:52.600 when we're sending here today, We're gonna stay with Caleb. Um. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:55.680 Looked at what's available out there, don't feel uh. I 0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:57.160 think the state of kicking in the league right now 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.240 is not very good. There's been a lot of changes. 0:03:59.280 --> 0:04:01.440 Houston change kicker last week. I think Tampa Bay has 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:03.000 changed their kicker. A lot of people have done that 0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.200 and move those things. Compared to what we had from 0:04:05.200 --> 0:04:07.520 a workout standpoint, one of the guys we had worked 0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.640 out actually got signed with the Texans and was their 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.280 kicker this week. Um, but we feel in terms of 0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.640 what's available out there, we're gonna stick with kid them. 0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.880 Given the consistency is on offense, are you open to 0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:20.240 pool and back on tempo to a DVA some of 0:04:20.240 --> 0:04:22.200 the burden on your defense, Yeah, I don't think that's 0:04:22.200 --> 0:04:24.479 a burden on our defense. That burden are the deal 0:04:24.680 --> 0:04:27.360 all the time is we need to execute offensively. If 0:04:27.400 --> 0:04:30.039 we execute offensively, then it's it's not an issue. But 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:33.320 if your offense is an executing on a consistent basis, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.240 then that it comes with pattern and the defense that's 0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.520 able to feel longer. Now I disagree with that. It's 0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:40.000 plays run. Our defense needs to make stops when they 0:04:40.040 --> 0:04:41.719 have the opportunity to make stops and our offense needs 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.200 to make place. Please when you're are talking about that, 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.360 and in fact that they're most to huddle, and that's 0:04:48.360 --> 0:04:52.920 perhaps why it kind is important. And employees run physically, well, 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.440 what does it do to the defense in the mental 0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:56.919 part of the game when they're out there on the 0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.360 field so much part our defense is concerned about making 0:04:59.400 --> 0:05:00.920 plays on the d defensive side of the ball, so 0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:03.200 in our offense is concerned about making plays on the 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.520 offensive side of the ball. So when I talk about 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:08.160 time of possession, we have this argument every week. We 0:05:08.160 --> 0:05:10.480 had the same exact plays run in the Atlanta game. 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:11.880 They had the ball for thirty five, We had the 0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:13.520 ball for twenty five. They ran the same plays that 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.360 we ran, They had the same production that we ran. 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:17.880 They just stand around a little bit longer than we run. 0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:20.760 So I understand that I'm just and that's the physical 0:05:20.800 --> 0:05:22.480 part of the game. But I'm wondering if you've done 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:24.960 any studies or anything that to know what it does 0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:27.720 feel personality when you're well. I think when you're when 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.479 you're when you're losing and you're not on the upside 0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.960 of it, it can affect you mentally. But if you're 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:35.360 a competitor, you're not concerned. You're concerned with doing your job, 0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.960 not anybody else's job, and not hoping someone else bails 0:05:37.960 --> 0:05:42.240 you out. You mentioned the touchdown that was called back 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:47.400 on the illegal formation. As much as you prepare, how 0:05:47.440 --> 0:05:50.880 does that happen? That just seems like such an essentially 0:05:50.920 --> 0:05:54.680 incredibly crucial mistake. I mean, it happened to them first 0:05:54.680 --> 0:05:57.280 play the game, so it happens. But they were it 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.039 was a touchdown. I know that. But you don't know 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:01.800 it's a touchdown when you do it. I mean you don't, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.880 I don't. I know he didn't do it on purpose, 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:07.279 but it happens. People line up and sometimes you have 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:09.320 a receiver cover up, or sometimes you don't have a 0:06:09.320 --> 0:06:11.760 receiver enough on the ball. We've had tackles called in 0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:14.080 two games being too far in the backfield, you know, 0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.680 and and had had plays negate it. It's it's just 0:06:16.720 --> 0:06:19.440 one of those deals where, um, it's the first one 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:22.880 we've had in our four games. But obviously it came 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:27.680 in a real in opportune time. Players aren't making the plays. Bigot, 0:06:28.720 --> 0:06:30.400 coach that up. How you change that? How you guys. 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:34.359 Guys make clutch plays. Orgmented drop and Jordan made a 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.440 heck of a catch on a on a deep ball 0:06:36.440 --> 0:06:38.240 down the scene with two guys draped on him and 0:06:38.279 --> 0:06:41.240 took a shot to the head and came up. But 0:06:43.760 --> 0:06:48.560 late game, how do you change? You just keep practicing 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:50.480 and you keep working on it, and you trust the 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:52.800 guys you have and I we know we have the 0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.800 right players here. We just it's it's a play here 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.800 or play there. You know, we've lost a game by two, 0:06:57.800 --> 0:06:59.320 and we lost the game by three, lest another game 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:01.920 by ten. We've lost games by fifteen points. So you know, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:03.839 you you you hit two kicks and we're sitting here 0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.160 three and one and everybody's happy. I mean, there's there's 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:08.640 no difference. Is that you either make plays or don't 0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.320 make plays. And if you're not making plays, you could 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:11.720 you have to continue to work at them so you 0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.560 can make the plays. Are in the NFL thin. So 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:18.480 you don't throw the baby. You don't throw the baby 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:20.040 out with the bath water and say, Okay, we're going 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:22.400 to change our offense, change our defense, and change everything 0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:24.600 we're doing in our approach. It's that we just need 0:07:24.640 --> 0:07:26.920 to settle down, take a deep breath, and when we 0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:28.360 have an opportunity to make a play, we gotta make 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:33.320 a play. Should Mark the Murray be getting more We 0:07:33.360 --> 0:07:35.160 all should be getting more touches on the offensive side 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.360 of the ball, But when you only have fifty one 0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:38.720 snaps on offense, there aren't a lot of touches. So 0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.080 we can stay on the field and snap it for 0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.760 sixty eight seventy plays, then we're gonna have a lot 0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:45.800 more balance in our in our run and pass game 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.560 because we're on the field longer. So over the last 0:07:49.600 --> 0:07:52.440 you guys lost six year last day regular season games 0:07:52.480 --> 0:07:54.920 dating back to last season over that period to kind 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:58.160 of piggyback and what Jed was asking, has there have 0:07:58.200 --> 0:08:02.200 you drawn any conclusions about the league and what other 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:04.840 teams are doing to you, maybe expectations or falls that 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:08.120 you might have had about you know, the development and 0:08:08.200 --> 0:08:10.760 things would go. Or is this simply what what you 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.080 are coaching will work. It just needs to be done 0:08:13.080 --> 0:08:16.200 the right way. I think when we have an opportunity 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:17.800 to make plays, we have to make plays. So that's 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.000 how we look at it. With this, With the way 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:25.000 this happens, everybody kind of looks at themselves when you 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.000 look over everything. Do you start in certain situations second 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:30.280 guessing yourself, I should have done this. Yeah, we look 0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:31.680 a look at play calls. You know, what could I 0:08:31.680 --> 0:08:33.520 have done on second down so that second down could 0:08:33.520 --> 0:08:36.520 have put us into a more manageable third down. You know, 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.200 you look at it from that standpoint of maybe, you know, 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:42.800 we we should have maybe run at this this situation 0:08:42.880 --> 0:08:44.440 so that you had second and ten could have got 0:08:44.480 --> 0:08:45.679 you the third and six. If it gets you the 0:08:45.760 --> 0:08:48.440 third and six, then your choices of play calls on 0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:50.160 third and six are a little bit different because third 0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.560 and mediums easier to convert the third and long. So 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:54.920 we're always analyzing that part of it. You guys, you 0:08:54.920 --> 0:08:58.840 guys doing I mean, I know you have the one 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:03.560 carried for thirty yards seven. Yeah, we bottled up there 0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.120 a little bit. They had seven guys in a box, 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.360 you know, a couple a few times in there and uh, 0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.240 triggering a safety on the run on the you know, 0:09:10.240 --> 0:09:12.960 when the tight end block, the safety kind of got triggered. So, um, 0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:15.040 you know, they just they had sometimes they had an 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:17.120 extra guy in there. But we're still trying to kind 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:19.480 of run the football so that when we run the football. Um, 0:09:19.520 --> 0:09:21.520 we're putting ourselves in a little bit better situation when 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:23.800 we get the third down. So, um, you know, he's 0:09:23.800 --> 0:09:25.520 doing a nice job. But all three running backs have 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.040 done a nice job. I think when they've had their opportunities. 0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.880 We just again, we're not getting a lot opportunities because 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:36.160 we only had fifty months naps. Depends on what we're 0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:38.719 we've got play called was do you think eight year 0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:42.680 three execution has been such a big problems for four games? Office? 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:44.800 I wish I knew that answer, then we could go 0:09:44.800 --> 0:09:46.760 out and fix it tomorrow and they're ready to go 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.680 play the Saints. But I think it's it's just a 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:50.599 matter of and you see it a lot, you know, 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:52.160 all of a sudden, someone makes a play and makes 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.200 a spark and then everybody starts kind of feeding off 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:58.360 of that, you know, And I think, um, it's it's 0:09:58.400 --> 0:10:01.920 such a game of confidence, U And as you see 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.480 it being played out across the league, it's the same 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:08.080 exact thing. You know. It's just who's gonna maybe give 0:10:08.120 --> 0:10:09.480 us a spark to kind of bring the whole group 0:10:09.520 --> 0:10:10.880 along with them. It's kind of what we're looking for 0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.800 right now. What are some of the positives to take 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:14.600 from yesterday. They can build on the team to build 0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:16.560 up to take what's that? What are some of the 0:10:16.559 --> 0:10:18.439 positives that you take from the game after watching the 0:10:18.480 --> 0:10:20.320 film At the team, I just think we're close, but 0:10:20.360 --> 0:10:22.360 we we again we need to make plays. You know, 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.320 when when we have an opportunity to make plays, I 0:10:24.320 --> 0:10:27.400 think our guys gave great effort. Um, But when we 0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:29.160 had an opportunity to make some plays, we didn't make them. 0:10:29.320 --> 0:10:35.040 Why do you injuries at this point again that you 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:36.959 got to look at the individual injury and kind of 0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:40.040 go through all that and um, you know the predisposition 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.120 of that player is are their hips aligned the right way? 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:43.600 Are they not align the right way? Did you have 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:46.440 a pre existing condition going into it? Um, there's a 0:10:46.440 --> 0:10:48.000 lot that goes into it and said they can't. There's 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.120 not just a blanket statement of we have more this 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.560 year than we had the last two years because of X. 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:55.280 Do you have guys try to play with the injuries 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:59.160 and there's all after the first series? Does that mean 0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:03.440 they should have been in the lineup? Probably? But you 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.400 know when we when when they worked out during the week, 0:11:05.400 --> 0:11:07.840 they felt like they could go. So you know, sometimes 0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.880 you're gonna hit on that, and sometimes you're you're not. 0:11:09.880 --> 0:11:11.640 There's some guys you're nervous going into the game. I'm 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:13.240 not sure how many snaps are gonna get out of them, 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:14.719 and then you get a ton of snaps. But I 0:11:14.720 --> 0:11:17.160 don't think anybody can predict that an injury is going 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.040 to happen. But obviously not having a couple of those guys, 0:11:20.160 --> 0:11:22.880 you know, really put us in a bind a little bit, 0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:30.160 so reaggravated the same year as he looked at it repuditions. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:37.200 Why is that just again, it depends on the individual injury, 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:43.200 So just are you aware of that? Did you mind 0:11:43.280 --> 0:11:46.240 him saying that I want all of our guys at 0:11:46.280 --> 0:11:49.160 the running back wide receiver spot to want the football. 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:50.960 I mean that's I don't think you want someone that 0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:52.680 says I don't want the ball more. I think it's 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.280 you know, it's what you're looking for. But again, it's 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:57.400 it's a team deal on the offensive side of the 0:11:57.400 --> 0:12:00.360 ball that we need everybody. Everybody needs to ball more 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.280 and we need more to We need more than fifty 0:12:02.280 --> 0:12:04.560 one snaps in a game for us to be successful 0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.040 on the offensive side of the ball. So when we 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.600 only have fifty one snaps. You know, no one's gonna 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:10.439 get the ball as much as they should get the ball. 0:12:11.280 --> 0:12:14.800 How do you keep the players from question game? Obviously 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:19.440 players frustrated. How do you keep them from questioning what's 0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:22.559 happening and keep them one track to try to get 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.319 where you say that they can get. I think they 0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:27.400 have believed in themselves, so I'm not I'm really not 0:12:27.480 --> 0:12:29.680 worried about this group. You know, I've been around a 0:12:29.720 --> 0:12:32.200 lot of different teams, but I think this group's pretty 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.679 close and understands what the task is at hand and 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.240 also understands everything in this league is going to be close, 0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:38.760 and every game you're gonna be in is gonna be 0:12:38.840 --> 0:12:42.080 a you know, a one possession game, and it's it's 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:45.120 it's about if you're a competitor, you kind of embrace 0:12:45.200 --> 0:12:48.400 the situation and get excited for what's your next opportunity. 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:50.640 You know you're playing a one in three team coming 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:52.160 in here. Both if you're watching play last night, they 0:12:52.160 --> 0:12:54.120 don't play like a one in three team. That New 0:12:54.200 --> 0:12:55.840 Orleans Saints are a good football team. You know how 0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.440 they lost their first three games. They lost one twenty seven, 0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.320 twenty two, they lost another one twenty nineteen. They've been 0:13:01.360 --> 0:13:04.000 close in two of their three losses. You know, they're 0:13:04.040 --> 0:13:05.520 kind of in the same boat as us, you know, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:06.840 and they had a close came out to night, they 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.319 wanted overtime, you know, that missed the extra mixed to 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.240 give me field goal right at the end of regulation, 0:13:11.280 --> 0:13:14.240 and then came back and Um showed some great resolve 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.720 and made a big play on an eighty yard touchdown 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.000 pass Um to win it in overtime. So it's it's uh, 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.120 it's about being a competitor and coming back out there 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:24.520 and you know, we're still standing. We've taken some shots, 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:28.599 but we're still standing. We gotta go out there and compete. 0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:33.360 Passes yesterday for the offense as far as you know 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:36.600 going forward, everything I don't I don't know about going forward. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.440 It just you know, Sam's taking what the defense gives us. 0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.679 And in those situations, the defense give us an opportunity 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:43.679 to throw the ball over the top, and when they 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:45.120 did that, we took advantage of it. So it's the 0:13:45.160 --> 0:13:47.200 first time we've kind of had a chance to do 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.160 that and when we when when we had the chance 0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.240 to do that, I think in doing it to three 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.800 different guys, I think helps us UM, But we know, 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.559 we've always known we've got guys out there that can 0:13:56.559 --> 0:13:58.079 make plays. But if people are always going to play 0:13:58.080 --> 0:13:59.480 back and make us throw the ball in front of them, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:01.400 then it's going to be a different story. But if 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:03.360 people are going to challenge us and try to, you know, 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:05.400 kind of blitz us a little bit, which Washington try 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.439 to do, try to get a next fun in the 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.440 box like Washington tried to do, UM, then we need 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:10.120 to be able to hurt him with our our wider servers. 0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.800 And that's what That's what happened on those three pass plays, 0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:15.920 particularly on the offensive line personnel as obviously have Denis 0:14:15.960 --> 0:14:18.760 out there, bad out there. Are you sure you have 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:22.960 the personnel death wise and starting wise and animal winding? Yeah, this, 0:14:23.080 --> 0:14:24.960 Quinton time, you have to. I mean there's there's not 0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:27.280 a bunch of oldlignment on the street. I mean everybody's 0:14:27.840 --> 0:14:29.600 on their different teams at this point in time. So 0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.560 you know, you hope JP's healthy this week and if 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:33.800 he can go. If not, then we gotta go with 0:14:33.840 --> 0:14:36.160 what we got. This was part of this team, though 0:14:37.200 --> 0:14:40.320 we chose to part with him. You've given the issues 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:43.760 alone the offensive line. You is it a lesson learned 0:14:43.800 --> 0:14:46.240 that you just learned we weren't going to renegotiate his 0:14:46.320 --> 0:14:48.240 contract again, I'll say it again. We were told by 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.360 his agent if we didn't renegotiate, it weren't getting them back. 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:55.520 So special teams. You know, Michael was active, So then 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.480 it came down to Nagi and Brad on special teams 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:02.400 as compared to him, somebody we give you as far 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:05.560 Is that a leadership No, I don't think it's not 0:15:05.720 --> 0:15:08.160 lack of leadership. It's it's making a play on third 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:09.600 down when we need to make a play on third down, 0:15:09.680 --> 0:15:11.080 or making a play on first down. So whether we 0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.240 don't have a play on third down. So I don't 0:15:13.280 --> 0:15:15.040 look at it as a as a leadership thing at all. 0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:17.880 Leadership break down. I like our leadership. I think our 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:19.600 guys are doing a nice job. It's just you know, 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:22.880 again like we don't we don't cover receiver up and 0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.760 we're in a different football game. You know, we lost 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.920 by three and we have a touchdown callback, So we're 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:29.360 not sitting there having this conversation questioning our leadership. I 0:15:29.360 --> 0:15:31.760 don't think leadership had anything to do with us covering 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:34.040 or covering up with a receiver on a pass play 0:15:35.240 --> 0:15:39.400 on third down. You've been well into the forties first 0:15:39.440 --> 0:15:43.360 two years now, Yeah, any common common theme when we're 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.480 not successful is a lack of success on first and 0:15:45.480 --> 0:15:49.320 second down, so that we're giving into longer third down situations. Um, 0:15:49.360 --> 0:15:50.960 it seems like when you when you kind of look 0:15:50.960 --> 0:15:52.080 at it, I think if we can be a little 0:15:52.080 --> 0:15:54.480 bit more consistent on first and second down, the word 0:15:54.480 --> 0:15:56.320 to put us into more manageable third downs being a 0:15:56.360 --> 0:16:02.320 good situation on the guys on the Taxica
