00:00 offense had to do with inability to be able to protect the quarterback for too long?
00:04 >> Well, we didn't run very well.
00:06 I thought the first drive was some good stuff going on there.
00:09 Just to finish that drive off and then whether it's pressure or
00:16 one guy here in a run game and then trying to get the football off.
00:21 It was a struggle and defensively I thought there were some good things and
00:26 then about two and a third down conversions and gave up the next play screen.
00:32 >> Is it the same kind of things, Mike, week in and week out that are,
00:36 at least in these losses, that are kind of compiling to keep you guys down?
00:39 >> No, I don't wanna, I mean, you have to look at it.
00:44 Every game is a new game.
00:46 It's got its own issues.
00:47 Put everything that you have into it each week to try to get ready and to prepare.
00:51 And then today, it was just a run game and being able to extend drives and
00:58 then didn't finish those two opportunities in the red zone.
01:02 Had one coming back there later on.
01:05 It was just too many drives in between red zone visits.
01:09 >> Did you see a common thread of what wasn't working on the run game?
01:11 >> Whether it was our ability not to block pressure or
01:19 guys on the backside of communication, Dylan kicked over there to left tackle
01:24 early on and probably went in there right guard.
01:27 I mean, it's probably usually just one guy each time, a couple nine yard runs.
01:33 Just couldn't sustain it from second and one or two to second and seven,
01:40 second and 12.
01:43 So not gonna do very well.
01:46 >> How was that?
01:48 Those red zone visits that you did have to the nine yard line,
01:51 what continues to happen?
01:53 >> The drive that we dropped in the past, we'll have to look at it.
01:55 >> I think it was a sack on one of them too.
01:57 >> I'm sorry?
01:58 >> I said I think it was a sack on one of them too, but I mean-
02:00 >> Sure, there you go.
02:01 Sacks are probably the pressure.
02:05 We didn't block the guy without having watched it.
02:09 I mean, I knew it, but we had a chip there on the front line and
02:14 some ball from there, so I don't know what happened after that.
