00:02 >> Mike, how's that happen on the punt protection?
00:06 >> What was that, the block punts?
00:08 >> Yeah.
00:08 >> Well, I mean, it was execution on one and
00:13 they made a really good play and timed up the motion and
00:18 we were able to get in there on the second one.
00:21 First one, four guys overloaded and now we gotta get some depth.
00:26 And from the picture, so somebody's gotta be able to take it and help us out.
00:31 I don't know that to be sure, I think we're aiming off in the overload.
00:35 And you can't have punts blocked, you think that you're playing games and
00:41 all the other things.
00:42 And it's, you're cramming the defense, going out there and playing and
00:46 getting stops.
00:46 And that's the guys that fight at the beginning of the week,
00:50 and it's exactly what they did.
00:51 It's unfortunate that they just made one more play than we did.
00:55 >> Look like Josh, when you pick up the motion man on the second one,
00:58 what needs to happen there?
01:00 >> We make sure that we protect our punter, our quarterback, and
01:07 affect their quarterback, and affect their punter.
01:10 That's what needs to happen.
01:11 We got guys that we're responsible for,
01:15 making sure that we get those guys blocked at the operations club.
01:21 >> Was there anything you can tell them, an extra point as far as,
01:25 pretending he'll be in the hole or was it just a message?
01:28 >> Just a message, clearly Ryan did a nice job on the second one.
01:36 Appreciate his ability to come in there.
01:38 We're gonna talk a lot about mistakes, and those happen.
01:43 Try to find a way to continue to get this team to fight like they did today.
01:49 That was, until we obviously lost,
01:54 it was a pretty impressive effort to be able to compete with that back and forth.
02:00 And give them credit as well, but proud of the way we fought when we lost.
02:05 >> Was that kind of your message?
