00:00 to potentially make a quarterback change?
00:02 >> No, poor performance, coaching started myself,
00:05 started the coordinator, quarterback, so on, just bad and wrong.
00:08 >> No inclination to go to Jimmy?
00:13 >> We'll evaluate everything going forward.
00:14 >> Antonio, with a bye week for the offense to regress, was that shocking to you or
00:22 did it have more to do with injuries?
00:25 What stood out to you?
00:26 >> Yeah, no excuse there, it is shocking.
00:30 Plenty of time to prepare for opponent, knew what they did, nothing new.
00:33 Just again, poor coaching, poor performance by the players,
00:36 started from myself.
00:36 [BLANK_AUDIO]
00:40 >> Antonio, when you were a player and on the defensive side,
00:43 you lost a game like this.
00:45 How did you combat those feelings in the locker room maybe of
00:48 the defense being upset with the offense for not holding up their end?
00:51 >> Well, the good part, we didn't have that.
00:53 Guys took accountability, listen, we gotta get you shut out.
00:56 Then it's overtime, that's what we can do.
00:59 Three point ball game, yeah, you're frustrated, but
01:03 at this point you can't really point yourselves.
01:05 There was opportunity for us on the defense to get off the field on third down.
01:07 And that's the easy way to go.
01:09 But as a team, like I told you, we win together, we lose together.
01:11 It wasn't a good performance by us overall.
01:13 >> In hindsight, at the end of the first half,
01:16 any thought of going a little more aggressive,
01:17 trying to score some points at the end of the first half?
01:19 >> I thought we did.
01:21 We didn't have two minutes, we moved the ball to last.
01:23 I think we had the ball at the ten yard line, so we were backed up.
01:27 We tried to move it, use timeouts, and then got one timeout left for
01:32 one second, he was gonna take a shot in the end zone.
01:34 And again, started with poor coaching, poor execution.
01:37 >> A.B., Willard Ramirez with the Associated Press.
01:41 Short week, this has to be a tough game to come out of to now prepare for, and
01:47 go in and sort of motivate the guys.
01:48 What's your thoughts?
01:49 >> No, it's not really about motivate.
01:51 Short term memory.
01:52 I told him what we was gonna do, win or draw.
01:54 We'll be in the office working tomorrow as coaches, bright and early.
01:57 Players will be in there right afterwards, and we're moving on to the charges.
02:00 On this one, you gotta have a short term memory.
02:02 Remember, you got a divisional opponent coming in here at home.
02:04 >> I guess, what is the level of concern for Josh Jacobs,
02:08 especially with the short week, in terms of his injury situation?
02:10 >> Tough guy.
02:11 I mean, I think, we had to look and get with our medical staff on that.
02:14 But he tried to fight as best he can.
02:16 Wasn't able to finish.
02:18 We'll look into that tomorrow.
02:19 >> You guys ready to answer questions?
02:22 We got the mic right back here.
02:23 [BLANK_AUDIO]
02:27 >> AP, Josh looked like he was injured the whole game.
02:31 He didn't look like himself.
02:32 Was that accurate?
02:33 >> He got injured.
02:34 He got knicked up early on.
02:35 And I think it just got on him.
02:37 He tried to come back and it just wasn't, he wasn't himself.
02:39 And at that point, it was over.
02:43 It was done with.
02:44 >> After you go back to the quarterback, was there any inclination during the game
02:48 to move off of Aiden and turn it over to Jimmy?
02:51 >> No, I think you can look at both teams, how they were looking at it, right?
02:54 But for us, we're moving the ball.
02:58 There was opportunities, penalties, turnovers.
03:01 For us, put points on the board.
03:03 And I just wasn't a quarterback.
03:05 That's why I said it was an offense.
03:06 It's easy to point to figure out the quarterback.
03:10 And obviously, we'll look at that as we go forward.
03:13 But we knew what we got when we put Jimmy up, or excuse me,
03:16 Aiden that quarterback, there's gonna be some ups and downs.
03:18 And this is not one of our better performances.
03:20 >> You guys all set?
03:24 >> [INAUDIBLE]
03:28 >> You said everything we evaluated,
03:29 does that include your coordinators, does that include everybody?
03:31 >> The whole football program, the whole program, everybody.
03:35 Gotta win, it ain't good enough, so gotta win.
03:37 >> More guys?
03:40 Okay, thanks Coach.
03:41 >> Thank you guys.
03:41 >> Thank you, AP.
