00:00 - You know, they did a nice job early on in the game.

00:05 We got out leveraged some, you know,

00:10 and so you got to give them credit.

00:12 - Mike, what did you see out of Mitch tonight?

00:15 - I thought he, I thought he got better as the game went on.

00:18 Obviously wasn't the type of start we needed.

00:20 They were really good on possessions down,

00:22 their collective, the things they threw at him and us.

00:25 But I thought he improved as the game went on.

00:29 - Mike, back to back weeks

00:31 where the opposing tight end has a big game,

00:33 what's been the challenge

00:34 defending the tight end the last couple of weeks?

00:36 - You know, we're, we're minus some,

00:39 some of our people in there

00:40 and just trying to find the correct mix.

00:42 I mean, we've played some good tight ends.

00:45 So that's kind of been a component of it as well.

00:48 - Mike, with back to back losses against these teams,

00:51 where do you guys go from here?

00:52 What, what is the direction?

00:54 - We get ready for our next opportunity next week.

00:56 It's what we always do.

00:59 Obviously this stings, but we'll be back.

01:04 - Mike, at any point,

01:06 did you consider putting Mason out of the game?

01:08 - I didn't.

01:09 - Mike, what gives you the confidence

01:10 that you guys can be back after two losses?

01:13 - This is what we do.

01:14 This is who we are.

01:16 Thank you.
