Speaker 1: Sam, it's your first w a a long time. It
Speaker 1: feels good. Um. Obviously, that's a really good football team.
Speaker 1: You know, to come on the road and get a
Speaker 1: win today, you know, a tough win. You know, our
Speaker 1: defense did a great job today keeping us in the game. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's just a great win for the team. Sam.
Speaker 1: That's tough teams to throw against. Obviously. What were some
Speaker 1: of the struggles that you guys had growing Um, you know,
Speaker 1: like you said, they're a good defense, UM, and I
Speaker 1: thought they matched up with us well today. You know,
Speaker 1: I missed a few throws. I think we had a
Speaker 1: few drops, you know, just uh, you know, a couple
Speaker 1: of different things, you know, on different different drives that
Speaker 1: kind of set us back. Um. But you know, like
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think there was anything major. I'm
Speaker 1: really proud of the way we fought, you know, to
Speaker 1: get that win, to hang in there, to fight. You know,
Speaker 1: that's huge for us right now. In the first two weeks,
Speaker 1: you played from behind, today played with the league. What
Speaker 1: was that like for you? UM? I like that. You know,
Speaker 1: hopefully we can continue to do that. It's a lot
Speaker 1: more fun to play from ahead than it is behind. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously we just gotta figure out a way, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, when we get those leads to continue to
Speaker 1: put drives together in the second half. Obviously, that was
Speaker 1: a bit of a struggle for us today. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: so hopefully we can learn from that and continue to build,
Speaker 1: you know, on those Bill routes. I know, you know,
Speaker 1: Matthew's dropped one, but the touchdowns, you know, similar type
Speaker 1: of play. Because that's something you saw it, you probably
Speaker 1: kind of take a batch of. Yeah, you know, we
Speaker 1: felt the way they were playing Matthews in the game.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of man coverage and you know,
Speaker 1: a couple of those looks we gotta matched up on
Speaker 1: a linebacker, and you know, the past couple of games
Speaker 1: we'd ran a lot of routes with him going to
Speaker 1: the flat, and so we figured they'd be hard on
Speaker 1: the flats and then you know, it looks very similar
Speaker 1: and then he just wheels up. Um, you know, and
Speaker 1: it worked pretty well today. What are your reasons for
Speaker 1: taking it seemed to be more snaps under the center
Speaker 1: this week? Um, I'm not sure you'd have to ask coach. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I think it gets the run game probably
Speaker 1: a little more downhill. You know, that's how Ryan likes
Speaker 1: to run. You know, that's the only thing that really
Speaker 1: comes to my mind. Um, but you'd have to ask him.
Speaker 1: Running game established today, you know how much? Huge? Huge? Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it was great in the first half to
Speaker 1: get those guys rolling. You know, I thought they ran
Speaker 1: really hard, that the line did a great job opening holes. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a good front seven that we just play,
Speaker 1: you know, to be able to come out and run
Speaker 1: the ball the way we did in the first half,
Speaker 1: you know that that's really big for us for a
Speaker 1: team's confidence as far as you know, maybe starting to
Speaker 1: strink here. I think it can do a lot, you know,
Speaker 1: especially for us. You know, I feel like the first
Speaker 1: couple of weeks there was just a lot of pressure
Speaker 1: on us. I feel like we're all pressing a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know. It's just nice to get that first one
Speaker 1: and now that pressure is gone. You know, like I said,
Speaker 1: it wasn't perfect today. Um. You know, there's gonna be
Speaker 1: things that we need to correct, but you know, I
Speaker 1: think this is a great building block for this team.
Speaker 1: We've had a chance now to see Darren Sprowls up
Speaker 1: close and personal, but these few much thoughts on what
Speaker 1: makes them such a special player. Oh, just as versatility. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, what he's able to do in the backfield,
Speaker 1: what he's able to do in the slot. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously his punt returns to day. You know that was
Speaker 1: a big momentum swing in the game. Uh. There's just
Speaker 1: so many different things that he does really well. You know,
Speaker 1: we can utilize him in so many different ways. I
Speaker 1: don't think there's a lot of guys in the league
Speaker 1: that you know can do that. You'd already tell you
Speaker 1: that you were yelling completely the sent of the passing
Speaker 1: So I had to turnovers? How would you eat before
Speaker 1: the get How do you feel about it? You know
Speaker 1: it now? Uh? Good and bad? Yeah, obviously the turnovers.
Speaker 1: You know something that we talked a lot about this week.
Speaker 1: You know, this defense had ten takeaways in the first
Speaker 1: two weeks. You know, for us to have I think
Speaker 1: one giveaway today, Um, you know that's big. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously passing game, we just gotta be a little bit
Speaker 1: more efficient. More guys, what are they doing to take
Speaker 1: away the d ball? Seem like you try to him,
Speaker 1: I'm um, yeah, I think they've got some great players
Speaker 1: on the outside. Um, you know, I think once we
Speaker 1: got the lead today, it was just kind of the
Speaker 1: way the game went. No wheel route, we hit on
Speaker 1: Matthews behind the linebacker. You have a guys screaming at you.
Speaker 1: It took quite a hit. Did you see it open
Speaker 1: right away? And just trying to anticipate what happened later? Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, I saw the way the linebacker was playing,
Speaker 1: and like I said, I felt like he was playing
Speaker 1: in the flat. You know, I think Ryan did a
Speaker 1: great job to avoid him and get outside of him.
Speaker 1: Uh you know, and I knew that the position that
Speaker 1: the linebacker was in, Ryan could outrun him. So just
Speaker 1: try to put it out there and let him go
Speaker 1: get it. The ball that was bounced off of Ryan
Speaker 1: in the flat, that was sort of a quick a drop.
Speaker 1: Was he going to wheel past him up the sideline
Speaker 1: at that point to the vacated area or not? No,
Speaker 1: that was just a flat. Yeah,
