1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I think early on in the game 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: the biggest issue that we had as we were behind 3 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:05,720 Speaker 1: the chains all the time. You know, we had some 4 00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:08,760 Speaker 1: penalties that got us into some second and long situations. 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,320 Speaker 1: We had sacks and some minus plays, and so I 6 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:12,879 Speaker 1: felt like we were kind of digging out too m 7 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,279 Speaker 1: I was trying to survive these drives too much early 8 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:17,640 Speaker 1: on in the ball game. And they did a good 9 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:21,240 Speaker 1: job possessing the ball in the first half, limiting our opportunities, 10 00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,280 Speaker 1: but we didn't get any rhythm going, and I think 11 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: that was a result of the minus plays. I thought 12 00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: it was better in the second half. We opened it 13 00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,639 Speaker 1: up a little bit more, spread them out a little 14 00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,360 Speaker 1: bit more. Dak made some plays in the passing game. 15 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 1: We loosened up their front a little bit, got the 16 00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:35,880 Speaker 1: running game going a little bit more. Felt a little 17 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,000 Speaker 1: bit more like ourselves. But again, the bad down in 18 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,599 Speaker 1: distant situations early were the things that we had we 19 00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: had to overcome, and I thought the rhythm got better 20 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,199 Speaker 1: as we went. Obviously it's not good enough. You need 21 00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,319 Speaker 1: to score more than eight points, but it's a good 22 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,159 Speaker 1: defensive team. We know it was going to be a struggle. 23 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: We felt like taking care of the football was going 24 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: to be critical in this game. That would give us 25 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 1: a chance as the game were on. We did a 26 00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 1: good job of that, but but certainly not enough. Yeah again, 27 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: as much as anything else. You know, we had some 28 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:10,080 Speaker 1: minus players, We had some sacks and some negative plays, 29 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: and just because you're not throwing the ball down the 30 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,440 Speaker 1: field doesn't mean you don't have those things called Sometimes 31 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: the ball has to come out quicker because you have 32 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,080 Speaker 1: some pressure or you have to do something. So we 33 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: tried to stay aggressive and tried to attack. They didn't 34 00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: give us a lot of opportunities. Their style is to 35 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 1: play out of there a little bit and make it 36 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 1: earn it. They did a good job of that. Yeah again, 37 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,039 Speaker 1: I go, I go back to those minus plays. Early on. 38 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 1: You know, we can complete a screen. I think it 39 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: was on the second play of the game. It's a 40 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 1: really good game for us, and then you know, we 41 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 1: get a penalty. So now we're second and twenty, and 42 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, we had too many of those in the game, 43 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,240 Speaker 1: particularly early on in the game, whether it's a penalty 44 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: or a minus player or a sack or something like that. 45 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:49,840 Speaker 1: So I thought he had to do a lot of 46 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: managing early on where we were at a rhythm. I 47 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: thought when we started playing down hit a little bit 48 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,280 Speaker 1: at them. In the second half, he was much better 49 00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,559 Speaker 1: and made some plays with his feet, made some good throws. 50 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 1: We drove the ball. He made two great plays down 51 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: on the red zone for the touchdown in the two 52 00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:09,359 Speaker 1: point conversion. Yeah, hard to tell. Hard to tell. It 53 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: was going to be a contested throw. Doc had somebody 54 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: in his face, you know, so I think he had 55 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:14,519 Speaker 1: to cut a lucid ticker early and the ball was 56 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 1: a little bit high, you know, one of those close 57 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: bang bang plays. Though we had a shot at it. Well. 58 00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,240 Speaker 1: Their style of defense is that they're going to put 59 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of people down in there. They're they're excellent 60 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: front their front sevens outstanding, big defensive tackles, the ends, 61 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,200 Speaker 1: the linebackers are really good, and then they have an 62 00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: eighth guy down. So we knew it was going to 63 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:34,079 Speaker 1: be a fight. We knew it was going to be 64 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: a struggle early to try to establish the line of scrimmage. Again, 65 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 1: I go back to some minus plays. It's hard to 66 00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: it's hard to establish the run when you're digging out 67 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 1: of these drives a little bit. But I thought it 68 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: got better as the game we're on, when we're more 69 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 1: favorable down in distant situations, we got back into our rhythm. 70 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: We're being able to attack both ways. Well, we knew 71 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: that was going to be a challenge, no question about it. 72 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 1: They're really good inside. They got some stout guys, and 73 00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:03,160 Speaker 1: they're athletic and explosive, so we knew it was going 74 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 1: to be tough to run inside at them. We knew 75 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,080 Speaker 1: some of the past protection situations, we're gonna be a challenge. 76 00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,760 Speaker 1: That's why I had the ball had to come out. 77 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 1: But you know, from what I can tell, you know, 78 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: Connor Williams battle was ass off. He really did. And uh, 79 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,240 Speaker 1: you know, we knew it wasn't going to be easy. 80 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: But he's the kind of kid who keeps fighting and 81 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,480 Speaker 1: I thought our team did an outstanding job fighting throughout 82 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 1: give us a chance to to to tie it up, 83 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: you know at the end of the ball game. Well, 84 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: he's just a great football player and he has been. 85 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: And all you have to do is flip the tape 86 00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,360 Speaker 1: on and see that, you know, the leader of their defense. 87 00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,960 Speaker 1: He makes a ton of plays in the running game, 88 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,000 Speaker 1: a ton of plays in the passing games, he's just 89 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: all over the place. He's a great athlete. He's really 90 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,840 Speaker 1: well prepared. He's very instinctive, so that just the way 91 00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: he plays, and we recognize that it was important for 92 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: us to try to do some misdirection stuff to get 93 00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 1: him off the game. I thought some of that stuff 94 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: was effective for us at different times. But I keep 95 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: going back to this. We got out a little bit 96 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: of rhythm early because we were behind the chains too much. 97 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: I thought it got better as it went on. You know, 98 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: I didn't get a great look at it. Looks like 99 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,600 Speaker 1: you hit it pretty well, operation look clean. Just missed it, 100 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,640 Speaker 1: and you know that that's part of it. And you know, 101 00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: we have a lot of confidence in him and we 102 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: believe he's gonna be a good cooker for our football team, 103 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 1: the Cowboys offensor. Yeah again, you know, I thought at 104 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: times we did some good things early on. We didn't 105 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 1: have great rhythm, and we're behind the chains a lot. 106 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 1: I thought it got better as the game we're on. 107 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 1: We spread them out a little bit, We got some 108 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: creases in the running game, guys kept fighting. Um, you know, 109 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: we made some positive plays. On top of positive plays 110 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,559 Speaker 1: allowed us to move the ball certainly on the scoring drive, 111 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's not good enough. We have 112 00:04:51,400 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: to play better, and we have to run it better, 113 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: we gotta throw it better, and every part of it 114 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,599 Speaker 1: has to improve. But I thought our guys battled, and 115 00:04:57,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: again I thought it got better as the game were on, 116 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:05,000 Speaker 1: while they challenged so many different ways. And you know, 117 00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 1: the quarterback runs in the first half were just such 118 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 1: huge plays for them, converting third downs down in the 119 00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,000 Speaker 1: red zone, and uh, you know, he's been doing that 120 00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: his whole career, so we knew that coming in that 121 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 1: that was gonna be something we had to we we 122 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 1: had to somehow contain or control. Didn't do a good 123 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: enough job EARLYI did a much better job later. I 124 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 1: thought we did a better job to simply defending the 125 00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: run later in the game completely. Uh, we minimized some 126 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 1: of their big plays. I thought that was a positive 127 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,000 Speaker 1: thing for our defense. I thought our defense battled really, 128 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: really hard, and I thought they fought hard and it 129 00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,720 Speaker 1: was not perfect by any means, but they're certainly trying 130 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 1: to play the right way. Did you get my fault 131 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:50,479 Speaker 1: to God? Yeah, I think there was probably eight and 132 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: change to go. I think we just wanted to play 133 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,039 Speaker 1: field position there, and if I'm not mistaken, our defense 134 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 1: did a good job coming right back out after they 135 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,080 Speaker 1: were down in that minus territory. I think we got 136 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:00,839 Speaker 1: a three and out and got a right back about 137 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,479 Speaker 1: a minute and a half later. So you know, those 138 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:04,719 Speaker 1: are the decisions you have to make. We felt like 139 00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: after they missed the extra point, it was going to 140 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: be a two score game, so play field position there 141 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:14,279 Speaker 1: and it worked out for us. Yeah, it looked like 142 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: he was active in the game early around the quarterback. Uh, 143 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 1: you know, hard, hard to know until we watched the tape. 144 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: He did get hit in the head and they put 145 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: him in the concussion protocol and so he was out. Yeah, 146 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: we don't We don't know anything about that. When when 147 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,719 Speaker 1: you look at the question you guys coming in replacing, 148 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: do you feel like you really those questions still remain. 149 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: The knee jerk's going to be, how did they get better? 150 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 1: What's the response to you guys have just gas fifteen worthies? Yeah, 151 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,440 Speaker 1: we just got to get back to work. You know, 152 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 1: I thought each of the receiver seemed to do good 153 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 1: do some good things in the game. You know, be 154 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: has made some plays. Michael Gallup made a couple of plays. 155 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:58,120 Speaker 1: Dante made a couple of plays. So you know, each 156 00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 1: of those guys you know, showed up in the game. 157 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: Obviously it wasn't good enough when you need to score 158 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: more than eight points. We need to run it better, 159 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 1: we need to throw it better. And you know, we'll 160 00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 1: look at ourselves as coaches first and continue to try 161 00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:09,520 Speaker 1: to put our players in the best situations we can. 162 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: We're just we're gonna roll those guys throughout the game. Uh, 163 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: And you know, Terres did a good job with a 164 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,600 Speaker 1: couple of his opportunities, and each of those guys you know, 165 00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: seem to go out there and function fairly well.
