00:00 A couple things, obviously, disappointing loss.

00:04 Thought we were sloppy for most of the game.

00:07 [BLANK_AUDIO]

00:09 Obviously third down, we struggled.

00:12 I don't think we converted a third down offensively.

00:14 We converted a fourth maybe.

00:16 But we gave all the things we discussed coming in.

00:22 We've been a team that has played well with the takeaways and the giveaways.

00:26 But that script flipped today.

00:28 We had three of them.

00:29 We didn't get any.

00:31 Gave up explosives.

00:32 So we'll look at this tape tomorrow.

00:36 And look, it starts with us coaches, starts with me.

00:39 We gotta do a better job.

00:40 Credit to me, coach Houston, those guys earned a hard fought win.

00:46 But we didn't play our best football and

00:51 we're gonna have to down the stretch here.

00:54 Well, look, obviously you want all four downs.

00:56 I wanna see the film, but certainly we felt like we were gonna have

01:02 where the ball was relative to time, we were gonna have four plays in the end zone.

01:08 But there's not gonna be a clean look, if that's what you're looking for.

01:12 You're gonna have to make a play into some tight windows.

01:15 So we'll see the film.

01:16 >> Did you see that game?

01:18 >> A little bit, maybe to some degree.

01:20 Look, I get back to this.

01:24 We had a game not too long ago where we didn't have good rushing numbers, but

01:27 then we didn't have good third down numbers.

01:29 And then so you don't have good numbers, you don't have a lot of plays.

01:32 And then people ask what happened to the running game?

01:36 It's hard to run if you're not staying on the field.

01:38 So it kinda goes hand in hand.
