I thought, overall, 19 00:01:17,479 --> 00:01:20,439 Speaker 3: I thought this was the best performance from our offense 20 00:01:20,479 --> 00:01:23,639 Speaker 3: that we've had all season. The way that those guys 21 00:01:23,639 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 3: are able to run the ball. There were some, you know, 22 00:01:27,158 --> 00:01:29,039 Speaker 3: some protection issues, but I would say for the most 23 00:01:29,079 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: part it was pretty good. And you know we're able 24 00:01:31,359 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 3: to throw the ball. That's always a good formula to 25 00:01:34,079 --> 00:01:37,679 Speaker 3: be balanced like that in a game. Defensively, you know, 26 00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 3: we had a few drives there, good drives. 27 00:01:41,039 --> 00:01:41,199 Speaker 5: You know. 28 00:01:41,239 --> 00:01:43,279 Speaker 3: Obviously if you take away that last drive, I think 29 00:01:43,279 --> 00:01:46,079 Speaker 3: it was like seventeen eighteen plays, we're all feeling a 30 00:01:46,119 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 3: little bit better about the game. Definitely things to build on. 31 00:01:49,959 --> 00:01:52,119 Speaker 3: I would say those guys played until the last seconds. 32 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:55,119 Speaker 3: As you guys saw it, still had an opportunity at 33 00:01:55,159 --> 00:01:58,159 Speaker 3: the end of the game. Special teams wise, we've got 34 00:01:58,159 --> 00:02:00,319 Speaker 3: to make some of those kicks, kind of put Joey 35 00:02:00,919 --> 00:02:04,159 Speaker 3: Joey hit the ball well pre game. Obviously, at the 36 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:05,759 Speaker 3: end of the game, whether it's a hell Mary or 37 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:07,719 Speaker 3: a field goal, I mean to me, the odds are 38 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:10,798 Speaker 3: pretty much the same, especially when the win wasn't really 39 00:02:10,879 --> 00:02:12,839 Speaker 3: a big factor in the game. 40 00:02:13,399 --> 00:02:14,839 Speaker 5: Coming up on a BIE week is going to be 41 00:02:14,879 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 5: a huge week for us. 42 00:02:17,038 --> 00:02:19,679 Speaker 3: Much needed bye week, not only physically for the players 43 00:02:19,719 --> 00:02:22,599 Speaker 3: but also mentally being able to hit the reset button 44 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:26,039 Speaker 3: and come back and you know, put some good games 45 00:02:26,038 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: together and continue to build for the future. 46 00:02:28,399 --> 00:02:29,758 Speaker 5: And that has to be our goal. 47 00:02:31,759 --> 00:02:33,999 Speaker 6: And we'll start with the first question from Mike Grease. 48 00:02:35,199 --> 00:02:37,399 Speaker 7: True, I wanted to ask you on the on the 49 00:02:37,399 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 7: Colts Final Drive, we talked a little bit about the 50 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,798 Speaker 7: possible challenge on that third and ten play and maybe 51 00:02:43,879 --> 00:02:46,119 Speaker 7: not having a clear view of it. I just wanted 52 00:02:46,159 --> 00:02:48,799 Speaker 7: to get your thoughts on on what your thoughts are 53 00:02:48,839 --> 00:02:52,599 Speaker 7: on maybe even just throwing that anyway in that situation, 54 00:02:52,799 --> 00:02:55,398 Speaker 7: just given the game situation, like what is your philosophy 55 00:02:55,479 --> 00:02:57,198 Speaker 7: on that particular situation? 56 00:02:57,959 --> 00:02:59,919 Speaker 3: Also a great question, and I would say the timeouts 57 00:02:59,959 --> 00:03:03,279 Speaker 3: are definitely vital, uh in those in those positions. You know, 58 00:03:03,359 --> 00:03:05,919 Speaker 3: we lost more challenge like that last week we lost 59 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,319 Speaker 3: one in the forty nine ers, and I would say 60 00:03:07,359 --> 00:03:09,439 Speaker 3: this week is hands at least the one clip that 61 00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,079 Speaker 3: I saw real quick, and it was just it was 62 00:03:13,119 --> 00:03:15,399 Speaker 3: just a tough It was tough. It was a tough 63 00:03:15,399 --> 00:03:17,159 Speaker 3: for me as far as they catch you, you did not 64 00:03:17,199 --> 00:03:18,999 Speaker 3: catch you. I understand your question though as far as 65 00:03:19,038 --> 00:03:21,638 Speaker 3: like momentum and things like that, but at that point 66 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,399 Speaker 3: in time didn't feel like we had a good enough view. 67 00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,959 Speaker 6: Next question, Doug Kaide I. 68 00:03:29,038 --> 00:03:31,519 Speaker 8: Draw on the on the your point in version, it 69 00:03:31,559 --> 00:03:35,279 Speaker 8: looked like Christian Barmore might have been held, might have 70 00:03:35,319 --> 00:03:38,159 Speaker 8: been penalized or like you possibly could have had a 71 00:03:38,199 --> 00:03:40,958 Speaker 8: flag throw and against the offensive lineman on that play. 72 00:03:41,039 --> 00:03:43,479 Speaker 8: Curious to see or curious to hear what you thought 73 00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:43,919 Speaker 8: of that play? 74 00:03:43,919 --> 00:03:48,599 Speaker 3: Affter the film? Look, they didn't call it. I thought 75 00:03:48,679 --> 00:03:50,799 Speaker 3: he got held, and I watched the film. I mean 76 00:03:50,959 --> 00:03:53,479 Speaker 3: it's pretty clear to me, but it wasn't called. And 77 00:03:53,599 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 3: so there's no excuses for me on that. 78 00:03:56,839 --> 00:03:59,079 Speaker 8: And one other quick question. You just said that if 79 00:03:59,079 --> 00:04:00,959 Speaker 8: you take out the final drive, then obviously you guys 80 00:04:00,999 --> 00:04:04,279 Speaker 8: are feeling a lot better about the game. There's been 81 00:04:04,279 --> 00:04:06,079 Speaker 8: a few instances this season where you've said, like if 82 00:04:06,119 --> 00:04:07,839 Speaker 8: you take out a few big runs or if you 83 00:04:07,839 --> 00:04:10,679 Speaker 8: take out his drive. I'm just curious what, like what 84 00:04:10,799 --> 00:04:14,119 Speaker 8: message that sends the players or the team that if 85 00:04:14,159 --> 00:04:16,678 Speaker 8: you take out the worst thing that happens, that that 86 00:04:16,759 --> 00:04:18,239 Speaker 8: you guys are gonna feel better after the game. 87 00:04:18,438 --> 00:04:19,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, And when I talk to the team, I tell 88 00:04:19,919 --> 00:04:21,199 Speaker 3: him all the time, I don't I don't have a 89 00:04:21,239 --> 00:04:23,238 Speaker 3: crystal ball on what play is going to be important. 90 00:04:24,039 --> 00:04:26,439 Speaker 3: But you're you're exactly right. Those are that those are 91 00:04:26,599 --> 00:04:28,559 Speaker 3: you know, that's what the NFL is. The NFL has 92 00:04:28,599 --> 00:04:30,678 Speaker 3: comes down to a few plays, and that's really my 93 00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:32,959 Speaker 3: message when I say it like it comes down to 94 00:04:33,039 --> 00:04:34,879 Speaker 3: a few players. So you look at it from one way, 95 00:04:35,399 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 3: you know, if we would have done this, and then 96 00:04:37,359 --> 00:04:39,439 Speaker 3: you look at it the other way. We didn't get 97 00:04:39,438 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 3: it done, and so that's kind of why we're here. 98 00:04:41,519 --> 00:04:41,679 Speaker 9: Now. 99 00:04:41,919 --> 00:04:44,719 Speaker 3: We've had seven one score games and I think we're 100 00:04:44,719 --> 00:04:46,239 Speaker 3: two and five in those games, and we just got 101 00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,359 Speaker 3: to be better. And again that's what the NFL is. 102 00:04:48,999 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 5: Thank you. 103 00:04:50,479 --> 00:04:51,999 Speaker 6: Next question, so if you Willer. 104 00:04:54,318 --> 00:04:59,398 Speaker 9: As D's curious about Christian Ellis. Last season when he 105 00:04:59,438 --> 00:05:02,199 Speaker 9: came in, he was used primarily on special teams, but 106 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,399 Speaker 9: it really feels like the season you're utilizing him a 107 00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:06,639 Speaker 9: lot more on defense. And then to see him kind 108 00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:09,799 Speaker 9: of get that interception yesterday, just what you've seen from 109 00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 9: him and how he's grown to become one of these 110 00:05:13,239 --> 00:05:14,679 Speaker 9: key defensive players for you. 111 00:05:15,519 --> 00:05:17,558 Speaker 5: Yeah, part of that, you know, is due to injury. 112 00:05:17,599 --> 00:05:20,199 Speaker 3: And I would say primarily he was here to help 113 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,879 Speaker 3: us on special teams, but has always been very doubt 114 00:05:22,919 --> 00:05:24,879 Speaker 3: in and defensive meetings, and now he's playing a lot 115 00:05:24,879 --> 00:05:25,758 Speaker 3: of football. 116 00:05:25,399 --> 00:05:27,278 Speaker 5: For us and doing a pretty good job. 117 00:05:28,239 --> 00:05:30,079 Speaker 3: Look, we always talk about that next man up into 118 00:05:30,438 --> 00:05:32,199 Speaker 3: and he has embraced that and he's out there making 119 00:05:32,239 --> 00:05:33,238 Speaker 3: place for us. 120 00:05:33,759 --> 00:05:34,199 Speaker 6: Thank you. 121 00:05:34,719 --> 00:05:35,039 Speaker 5: Thanks. 122 00:05:35,438 --> 00:05:37,239 Speaker 6: Next question to create a randall. 123 00:05:38,039 --> 00:05:41,079 Speaker 10: Want to drud and at the beginning of the year, 124 00:05:41,159 --> 00:05:44,319 Speaker 10: you said a successful season would be being competitive each 125 00:05:44,318 --> 00:05:46,919 Speaker 10: week and getting better as a season and progresses.

It's just about going out 227 00:10:07,199 --> 00:10:09,039 Speaker 3: there playing con fromentary football and winning. 228 00:10:10,799 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 5: Thanks sir. 229 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,519 Speaker 6: Thanks, next question Taylor Kyles. 230 00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:18,839 Speaker 2: Hey coach, Thank you so much for your time. I 231 00:10:18,839 --> 00:10:20,718 Speaker 2: had a question about a couple of things. One, the 232 00:10:20,879 --> 00:10:24,079 Speaker 2: first touchdown that answering Anthony Richardson threw, it looked like 233 00:10:24,119 --> 00:10:25,919 Speaker 2: there was like a four by one. Look they kind 234 00:10:25,919 --> 00:10:28,519 Speaker 2: of got to the line fast. Was that a miscommunication 235 00:10:28,639 --> 00:10:30,999 Speaker 2: or something maybe they hadn't shown before. And also it 236 00:10:31,039 --> 00:10:32,999 Speaker 2: looked like that QB sweep they were kind of hitting 237 00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:33,759 Speaker 2: pretty consistently. 238 00:10:33,799 --> 00:10:35,439 Speaker 5: I was wondering what your thoughts were on that play. 239 00:10:35,879 --> 00:10:38,759 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've they've shown it before and really like we 240 00:10:38,839 --> 00:10:40,159 Speaker 3: just got to go out there and make the play 241 00:10:40,879 --> 00:10:43,759 Speaker 3: like those loaded formations. Every team does things like that. 242 00:10:43,839 --> 00:10:46,959 Speaker 3: Obviously when you have a quarterback that can also run. Uh, 243 00:10:47,079 --> 00:10:49,039 Speaker 3: you know, he's always a threat. And I would say, 244 00:10:49,239 --> 00:10:51,159 Speaker 3: I think you hit on the head again. Like you know, 245 00:10:51,199 --> 00:10:54,679 Speaker 3: the quarterback design runs were definitely a problem and we 246 00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:56,639 Speaker 3: just had to get that fixed. Anytime it's a quarterback 247 00:10:56,639 --> 00:10:58,719 Speaker 3: that can run, he just adds another piece of the puzzle. 248 00:10:59,079 --> 00:11:02,959 Speaker 5: Uh. And we'll see that here coming up soon. Thank you. 249 00:11:02,999 --> 00:11:07,199 Speaker 6: Thanks, Next question, Mike Giati, Mordan. 250 00:11:06,959 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 4: You a couple quick ones for you. On the on 251 00:11:10,799 --> 00:11:14,039 Speaker 4: the touchdown to Pierce of the final touchdown, there he 252 00:11:14,159 --> 00:11:18,599 Speaker 4: crosses Pepper's face, bro gives him like a slight for him. 253 00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:19,799 Speaker 4: Do you want to see him get a little bit 254 00:11:19,799 --> 00:11:21,719 Speaker 4: more of a piece of him to slow him down 255 00:11:21,719 --> 00:11:22,319 Speaker 4: on the crosser? 256 00:11:23,519 --> 00:11:26,599 Speaker 3: I mean, look, that's always uh part of our mentality 257 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,119 Speaker 3: is to chip these receivers. And look, when it's all 258 00:11:30,199 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 3: said and done, scored a touchdown and we just all 259 00:11:32,359 --> 00:11:33,919 Speaker 3: have to be better. I'll talk about the marriage of 260 00:11:33,999 --> 00:11:36,879 Speaker 3: Russian coverage as well, so it's not just one individual, 261 00:11:36,919 --> 00:11:38,399 Speaker 3: it's just as the entire yearit. 262 00:11:38,639 --> 00:11:41,199 Speaker 4: And then to Taylor's point about the four by one, 263 00:11:41,999 --> 00:11:44,439 Speaker 4: they were going fast. It seemed like you guys weren't set. 264 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,959 Speaker 4: Is that another issue where communication got challenged. 265 00:11:47,639 --> 00:11:49,679 Speaker 3: Look, anytime an offense goes to the ball fast, you 266 00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,879 Speaker 3: have to be ready for some type of perimeter play, 267 00:11:51,879 --> 00:11:52,959 Speaker 3: and we. 268 00:11:52,879 --> 00:11:55,199 Speaker 5: Just had to have more of a sense of urgency 269 00:11:55,239 --> 00:11:57,519 Speaker 5: on that play to get lined up and go. Thank you. 270 00:11:58,039 --> 00:11:59,159 Speaker 5: Thanks that have. 271 00:11:59,199 --> 00:12:02,479 Speaker 6: Time for two more questions here, Jakota Randall, followed by 272 00:12:02,519 --> 00:12:03,399 Speaker 6: Phil Perry. 273 00:12:05,399 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 5: Ure.

It wasn't perfect by far, but definitely took 279 00:12:20,279 --> 00:12:21,039 Speaker 3: a step forward. 280 00:12:22,159 --> 00:12:22,719 Speaker 5: And off of that. 281 00:12:22,879 --> 00:12:25,319 Speaker 10: You know, with Leyden and Mic at the at the 282 00:12:25,319 --> 00:12:27,919 Speaker 10: guard spots right now, and you're saying you expect Cold 283 00:12:27,919 --> 00:12:30,279 Speaker 10: Strange to play at some point, is it realistic to 284 00:12:30,319 --> 00:12:32,639 Speaker 10: say that with a couple more weeks, Full could start 285 00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,239 Speaker 10: at center after the bye week. 286 00:12:34,639 --> 00:12:35,639 Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll have to see. 287 00:12:35,799 --> 00:12:37,479 Speaker 3: I don't want to get into hypotheticals, and I would 288 00:12:37,479 --> 00:12:40,719 Speaker 3: say Ben's he's done a good job for so we'll 289 00:12:40,759 --> 00:12:42,999 Speaker 3: see how Cole presents here in the next couple of 290 00:12:42,999 --> 00:12:44,199 Speaker 3: weeks and see what happens. 291 00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:48,439 Speaker 6: And final question from Phil Perry. 292 00:12:51,279 --> 00:12:54,479 Speaker 13: Did Gerda.
