00:00 But I think a couple times also in there, we had zone coverage, right?
00:06 And the quarterback is extending plays, and he's finding the hole in the zone.
00:10 So he did a great job of creating that, but we just gotta do a better job of
00:16 when those zone coverages and the quarterback's running around.
00:20 Like we need to match the closer receiver to us.
00:23 >> Yeah.
00:23 >> How do you start fast?
00:27 I know it's been an issue for the last couple of weeks.
00:29 How do you find yourself finding out any of the things to start off the fast game?
00:34 >> I mean, it comes down to one of us just have to make a play.
00:38 You know what I mean?
00:39 One of us has to make a play early on.
00:42 I felt like we had maybe a couple chances in that first drive and
00:47 just wasn't able to come away with the ball.
00:49 So, but all of us collectively,
00:53 we all have to find a way to kind of make a play and shorten drives or
00:58 even create a turnover for the driver.
01:01 >> What's it seem like hitting the bye week right now?
01:03 >> I mean, obviously we're disappointed.
01:04 I think our goal this week is obviously to come in here and win the game.
01:09 But I think we're in a decent place mentally.
01:14 Obviously, you never wanna drop a game, especially going into a bye week cuz
01:20 now we gotta wait two weeks to kinda get the bad taste out of our mouth.
01:23 So yeah, man, we just gotta stay locked in.
01:27 We got enough games left to where we could kinda be the team that we wanna be.
01:32 So, I mean, that's really the mindset right now.
01:36 >> When Jim has said that first touchdown,
01:37 did you kinda feel that start to shift a little bit?
01:39 It seemed like the whole team kinda started playing a little bit better.
01:42 >> Yeah, I mean, anytime you're able to make a play, offensively,
01:47 defensively, in a special team, it's always a morale boost for the team.
