yeah I mean I think it comes down to our
0:01
keys of victory that we have every week
0:03
um and the one that sticks out to me is
0:05
the dirty dozen uh for us we we didn't
0:07
win our win our goal or meet our
0:08
expectations so you know it comes down
0:10
to the little things uh that caught up
0:12
to us today um you know playing behind
0:14
the sticks is something we don't want to
0:16
do against a you know talented team and
0:18
you obviously a good defensive
0:19
coordinator and schematically so you
0:22
know we just got to you know go back to
0:24
the drawing board uh reflect on it
0:26
things that we did well things that we
0:27
didn't do well um and then come away
0:30
from it tomorrow uh make the corrections
0:32
flush it tomorrow night and then move on
0:34
to our next opponent Drew what was the
0:36
play call on Fourth and goal and what
0:38
did you see there yeah I mean it was
0:41
basically just a pass uh you know we
0:42
want to get it to Tai Warren safety
0:45
safety or nickel uh did a good job of
0:47
playing over the top of it and driving
0:49
it it would have been bang bang play
0:52
short of the goal line or uh you know
0:54
incomplete then you know I was looking
0:56
to dink um you know we just did to
0:59
connect on it Drew how did you feel
1:01
physically aftering this game good Dre
1:04
it looked like you came to the sideliner
1:06
maybe we were looking for Coach O'Brien
1:07
once I think it was second down on that
1:09
final uh the go to go situation were you
1:12
guys looking for a different play on one
1:14
of those first three before the four
1:15
goal uh no so what we were in our sugar
1:19
huddle or Ambush huddle and uh usually
1:22
the ref tells me like hey they're going
1:24
to hold us up because we made a sub uh
1:26
they didn't and it kind of affected us
1:28
because we were up at we bur it up to
1:30
the line held us and that's how not how
1:32
we want to operate that place so I was I
1:34
was trying to communicate to them like
1:36
hey I didn't have a heads up because we
1:37
always talk about that letting the ref
1:39
clear and then running the play but you
1:41
know uh for whatever reason there was no
1:43
communication there and uh that's that's
1:45
all it wasn't it wasn't anything about
1:46
play calling or anything like that so
1:48
you wanted to go
1:49
fast that's that's the point of the play
1:52
yep yep go fast uh catch them off guard
1:55
everything in of to accom is that
1:58
something that
2:00
is that something
2:02
that I mean yeah I mean it's you know
2:05
it's a long season uh in general not
2:08
just you know everything that goes on
2:09
after the regular season but the regular
2:11
season's a long long season and the
2:13
thing we talked about is we can't let
2:14
one turn into two turn the three like we
2:16
had to you know WR the wrongs that we
2:18
made today um and offensively like we're
2:20
not going to you know we're not going to
2:22
point any fingers like it wasn't one
2:24
person that you know blew the game for
2:26
us I'm I'm personally I'm going to
2:28
reflect on you know my performance the
2:30
film be hard on myself see what I could
2:31
have done better see the things I did
2:33
well and then just be honest uh have
2:35
honest conversations with the coaches
2:37
see what they thought um you know so
2:39
it's just going to be a lot of
2:40
reflection uh over the next
2:42
24 uh 30 36 hours um so that that's you
2:47
know our approach right now as a as a
2:48
team um and you know there we're going
2:50
to come together as a family because
2:52
like you said we have a lot in front of
2:53
us to still play for um but you know
2:55
we're going to have to harp on the
2:56
little things we're not going to let
2:58
anything slide not that we have been any
3:00
letting anything slide but you know when
3:02
something does pop up we're going to
3:03
need to address it right away with that
3:04
being said with with the with things
3:06
still being in front of you what is the
3:08
what are the emotions like in the locker
3:10
after Los guys quickly refocusing based
3:13
on that guys realize that at this point
3:14
or is it still to top two
3:16
c uh I mean I think a little bit of both
3:19
um obviously it's frustrating that we
3:21
didn't come away with the victory today
3:23
like we wanted to but you know come
3:25
tomorrow offensively the process is the
3:28
process no matter if we win by 50 l by
3:30
50 like we're going to reflect on what
3:31
we did well what we didn't do well um
3:33
and go from there so I think uh you know
3:35
we're going to have to stick to that
3:36
process you know we're not going to
3:38
change it now uh when when something you
3:40
know a hardship comes along in our road
3:42
uh you know and I think it's going to
3:44
going be a great opportunity this week
3:46
for you know me as a leader of the team
3:49
uh you know correcting that and and the
3:51
other captains um you know doing
3:53
everything in our power to you know just
3:55
just flush this this loss obviously
3:57
obviously it's a tough one to to feel
3:59
like this but you know just get back to
4:01
work uh tomorrow and then Monday uh our
4:04
off day you know study the film and then
4:07
Tuesday is our workday so we're going to
4:08
get to come ready to practice
4:18
Tuesday yeah I mean I think whenever you
4:20
never want to go three and out in
4:22
general especially after you know they
4:23
score um so it's just going to you know
4:26
I had to look back at the drive see see
4:28
our missed opportunities that we might
4:29
have had and just reflect on those and
4:31
then just you know when those things
4:33
happen again obviously we're going to be
4:35
better prepared and we're going to know
4:37
what we need to do better at those
4:38
situations to you know Come Away with
4:40
with points that drive and respond why
4:42
