00:00 emotional and performance roller coaster today.
00:03 Sloppy play on both sides.
00:05 A lot of missed opportunities.
00:07 Talk about your journey mentally and physically through that.
00:13 >> Yeah, too many penalties.
00:14 I think anytime you're consistently hurting yourself,
00:18 getting behind the chains, it doesn't make your job any easier.
00:20 I went both ways.
00:23 They put some penalties on them defensively as well.
00:25 But just simple things.
00:28 A lot of pre-snap penalties for us, just sloppy, can't have it.
00:31 You need to clean it up.
00:32 And so, yeah, it's on me for not being on the same page as everybody, I guess.
00:37 And just gotta over communicate, make sure that we're on the same page,
00:40 eliminate those simple, simple mistakes.
00:43 >> Maybe once again, this running game,
00:45 you struggled to find any real positive gains over the longest running game.
00:50 For example, how frustrating is it to kind of play just with the win,
00:55 tap out of your back, essentially just have to focus on passing?
00:58 >> Yeah, I mean, we came into this game knowing their rush defense is
01:01 statistically up there at the top of the league.
01:03 So they don't make it easy anyways.
01:05 And so I had a few different runs and just trying to do some different looks for
01:10 them.
01:11 But yeah, they've gotta be able to get some shots called just in the run game.
01:17 And they were able to play a lot of too high defense, but
01:19 they're good at it, that's what we talked about.
01:20 They're able to play too safe to defense.
01:23 They look at the front that they have, how aggressive they are, and
01:25 they won't stop the runs.
01:26 They make it hard, but yeah, that's all they have to do.
01:29 >> Can you comment on that interception and just kind of what you were seeing and
01:33 how you were feeling?
01:34 >> Yeah, so it just, ideally,
01:37 wouldn't like to have the traffic pattern that we did, but when Chris is pressed up,
01:41 it just happens that way.
01:42 So he has a little bit of an issue with the line of scrimmage.
01:46 You say he's not gonna be backing up at all for on K.
01:48 So if he's aggressive, then either have a shot to Chris over the top.
01:54 And at that point in the game, can't turn the ball over in the red zone, so
01:57 just check it down in the back of the flat and move on with your life.
01:59 So we had a few good check downs today, missed a few.
02:02 Yeah, it's a critical one that took points off the board and
02:05 that's completely unmade.
02:07 >> Baker, how much say so do you have when you're crafting a game plan,
02:10 when Dave Vowles is crafting a game plan?
02:12 For example, putting something together, can you say, Dave,
02:15 this hasn't been working, let's throw it out, let's not use it?
02:17 >> I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at.
02:21 We get together on the game plan and say what we like, what we don't like.
02:24 It's not like I'm eliminating the whole game plan and vice versa.
02:31 He's not saying that we have to do certain things, but
02:34 we've gotta find ways to make some of these plays work.
02:36 Yeah, I mean, like I said, they're a good rush defense,
02:41 statistically, they make it very hard on you.
02:43 They did a good job today.
02:44 And so like I said, we tried to do some different looks, but
02:47 didn't have a whole lot of success.
