00:00 - No, we've done it before.
00:01 Obviously you don't want to start 0-2.
00:03 It's not what we were planning on,
00:06 not what you want to do at all,
00:07 but we're going to bounce back.
00:10 That's what we do.
00:11 That's all there is to it.
00:13 - Do you see any or feel any difference on the team
00:16 between this year's 0-2 and last year at this point?
00:19 - No, I mean,
00:21 we just didn't play well enough to win either of these games.
00:26 We've got to find ways to make those plays down the stretch
00:31 to win these kinds of games.
00:32 And it's going to, you know,
00:34 every time you play an AFC North team,
00:36 it's going to look like that.
00:37 You're going to have seven possessions.
00:39 So you're going to have to make the most of them.
00:40 - Do you see any commonalities in the way
00:42 that y'all started this year and last year?
00:43 Aside from that, maybe just for the reason why y'all
00:45 did 0-2 the last couple years or something.
00:48 - Well, when your quarterback misses camp,
00:51 it's tough to start fast.
00:56 It's not an ideal situation.
00:58 - It looks like over the course of the game,
01:00 you got more comfortable.
01:00 It's like the second half was more efficient
01:02 than it was in the first half.
01:03 You're just trying to get a better feel for things,
01:05 trying to feel like you're a little bit like
01:06 in the middle of the year maybe?
01:08 - Well, I know the stats in the first half
01:10 are what everybody looks at,
01:12 but, and they weren't great, but, you know,
01:16 like I said, the first two possessions,
01:18 we had that holding call that, you know,
01:22 I'll have to watch the film, see if I think it's holding.
01:24 I don't know.
01:25 And then we had the third down that we didn't convert.
01:28 And then we moved the ball really well
01:29 in the third possession.
01:30 So I think we did some good things in that first half too.
01:32 Obviously the stats weren't great,
01:34 but second half, I thought we were rolling.
01:36 Like I said, you can't have a red zone turnover
01:38 against that team.
01:39 And that was on me.
