Speaker 1: and get ready for Tampa and figure out a way

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:16,280
Speaker 1: to get a win. What of your discussion has been

7
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,040
Speaker 1: like with Pat since the game and then different or

8
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:22,920
Speaker 1: business usable? Uh? Yeah, just business business as usual. How

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,520
Speaker 1: do you feel you've played so far? Well, we're going

10
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: too so, um, you know, there's always room for improvement. Um,

11
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 1: you know, feel like I'm making you know, uh, not missing,

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,480
Speaker 1: not missing, you know, maybe miss one throw to Evan,

13
00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: but um, yesterday. So I just gotta obviously gotta figure

14
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: out a way to score more points, um, you know,

15
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: and uh and do better on third down. So that's uh,

16
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,160
Speaker 1: that's you know, figure out a way to get completions

17
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: and convert on those third downs. After the draft, hat

18
00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: said you have to win, keep this guy a field?

19
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 1: Did they give you an after the name? Amount of games?

20
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 1: And do you have any idea you know how I

00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: want to least supposed to you have enough. Probably these

00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: looking for France er. So uh, you know, I get it.

25
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: You know when you draft a guy earlier and uh

26
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,759
Speaker 1: you know you're not winning games. Um, you know these

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 1: were gonna come up. So, um, you know, I just

28
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: gotta keep working and and do do you know, do whatever?

29
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: My job is. What have the discussions been like with

30
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: you at this point? Did they tell you that they're

31
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: still they're still looking at it there we have not

32
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: discussed it. You Um, you know do of course you

33
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 1: cure there's a lot of things to motivate you, because

34
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: I'm certainly like this, Is that's something that would spark

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: you or is that something you don't need? You know,

36
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, the motivation is to win. You know that,

37
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: there's nothing, there's nothing more than that. It's not uh,

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, you want to win because you work. That's

39
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: where you work hard. That's why you train, that's why

40
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: you do everything and prepare and practice and so you

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: can go out there and win football games and and

42
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,960
Speaker 1: build something special and so nothing nothing changes. Would you

43
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: rather the organization and I mean the head coach have

44
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: a definit advance rather than open this door. You know. Again,

45
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: the mindset for me is just to prepare and to

46
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 1: work and to do you know, to uh do what

47
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 1: I'm told to do. It it's a giant's decide to me.

48
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: Let's just you know, let's stay away from thees. How

49
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,960
Speaker 1: fresh tratings has been other another oh one two start?

50
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: How frustrating is this for you? Well? Yeah, I mean obviously, uh,

51
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: you know, we wish, we wish we'd uh cold when

52
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: when win the game and and um, you know just uh,

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 1: you know, you feel like we worked hard and you

54
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:42,839
Speaker 1: know we're prepared and we do a lot of good things,

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: but just not um it's not playing quite well enough

56
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: as as a group to to get uh and scoring

57
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: enough points offensively four twenty points first, Yeah, I mean

58
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 1: obviously the third downs, that's that's something that's donna hurt you.

59
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 1: Um when you you know you can't you know, can't

60
00:03:02,520 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: stay in the field long enough. And you know there's

61
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: there's you know, obviously we have some good drives and

62
00:03:06,919 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: we're scoring the first you know, first series and and um,

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: you know, you know there's some good things out there,

64
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: but you know, put together some other nice drives and

65
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,840
Speaker 1: had opportunities just you know, um, just not you know, uh,

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: just not you know, not not playing well you know

67
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: well enough and certain circumstances of the game to to

68
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,399
Speaker 1: you know, score those points. And you know we knew

69
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,360
Speaker 1: they were good defense. But you know we're down there.

70
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,880
Speaker 1: You know there's two times right before halftime and get

71
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,040
Speaker 1: to get no points out of that. Um, you know

72
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna hurt you. Fellers said after the game that

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: their game playing going in was to try to put

74
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: it on you to have you beat them throwing the football. Um,

75
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: after the fact, does that annoy you to hear another

76
00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: defense talking like that? Does it motivating you for the

77
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: next week? What's the reaction when you do something right?

78
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: You know? Uh? No, no, no reaction, you know, Um

79
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: in the sense you know we have we have a

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: stud running back and say kwan, you know, teams gonna

81
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: try to stop the uh up the run. We got

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: some beat up you know, wide receivers. Uh and so

83
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 1: make us make us throw the ball and um, you

84
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: know we gotta throw it better than what we're doing.

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: You break it down with the film on Monday. Do

86
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: you see enough corrections to be made that you believe

87
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: that if those corrections are made, they will make a difference. Um. Yeah,

88
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: I mean it's just you know, some are summer corrections.

89
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: Some are just you know, making plays or mean making

90
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,600
Speaker 1: a throw or hanging in the pocket or you know.

91
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: So it's just, um, you know there's yeah, I think

92
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: I see enough enough good things and and I see

93
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: yeah enough things that are are just correctable or just

94
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: you know, you know they sometimes they just fall into things,

95
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 1: or you got tip passes when you got guys open

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: and just you know, preventing you from staying in rhythm,

97
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 1: or or you know, cause the turnover. And um, so

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: I think you know, you see enough good things that

99
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: you know we can we can get on track and

100
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: you know, score more points offensively. Why are they not

101
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: able to continue? Well, I mean you know, each you know,

102
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 1: every drive's got its own reason for for stopping, whether

103
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 1: it's you know, I'm a penalty, or whether it's just

104
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:09,919
Speaker 1: you know, a misthrow or a drop or you know

105
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: a bad you know, a bad um you know tip

106
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: ball what you know, whatever it might get you know,

107
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: where you get into a third down and don't convert.

108
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 1: So um, you know, each ones that I have its

109
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: own Uh, own rhyme or reason and so we just

110
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 1: got to you know, find find ways to be you know,

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,520
Speaker 1: just more consistent throughout the game, like you have to

112
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: if you have to with human nature, if you know

113
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: in too again, um that kind of thing. You know,

114
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,279
Speaker 1: it's serve down little problems again. Do you have to

115
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: fight human nature in your own head to ever go

116
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: back and think? You know, this is happening again. You know,

117
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: here we go again. You know we can't get out

118
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: of this like you happened in the past. Well, you know,

119
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: I think, uh no, I think you just you you

120
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: have your mindset on on what you you know, what

121
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: you need to do to get better and get better

122
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: as a group and as the team and work on

123
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: those times. You're in a similar position a couple of

124
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: years ago when they started. You know, anything from that

125
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 1: handling of that situation that you would like to see

126
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: that you learned, you would like to see things differently. No,

127
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 1: it's not not not thinking about it right now. How

128
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,720
Speaker 1: important is it to get variety of though as soon

129
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: as possible for you? I don't know, I don't know.

130
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: It not important
