00:00 You know, I thought we did a good job, man.
00:01 I just thought the penalties, man,
00:02 were catastrophic to our defensive effort.
00:05 It really was, but, you know, Cam Hayward was back,
00:09 you know, and Cam's presence is significant, guys.
00:13 Like, particularly in terms of defending the run.
00:16 You better put four hands on that guy,
00:19 or you're not gonna have a day.
00:21 And so, I'm appreciative of his presence.
00:24 I'm appreciative of the effort of all the guys.
00:29 But we gotta cut down on the penalties.
00:32 - Mike, you mentioned the fluidity on the opening drive.
00:34 It's the first time you did it all year.
00:36 What does it do for you?
00:37 What did it do for you, being a big...
00:39 Confident standpoint, right?
00:42 - You know, we'll see as we move forward.
00:44 I'm not ready to paint with a broad brush.
00:47 - Mike, you probably expected
00:48 Landon Robertson to play a few snaps,
00:49 but when Holcomb went down,
00:50 what about the contributions from him and Neal tonight?
00:54 - You know, we introduced three inside linebackers
00:57 for a reason.
00:58 We just feel like we got three starter-capable guys.
01:00 And so, obviously, we're really disappointed,
01:04 and our heart goes out to Cole.
01:06 But, you know, at Landon,
01:08 we got a great deal of confidence in.
