00:00 It's definitely scarier in the moment than it was, but see what the trainer's saying.
00:05 But, no, we're all right.
00:07 >> I thought, I guess, a little,
00:08 we knew that the loss maybe we couldn't really establish it quite consistently.
00:12 And what do you think maybe the problem was with that?
00:15 >> Yeah, I mean, we just couldn't get it done.
00:17 Like, we never really got going.
00:18 We had a couple drives where we had spurts here and there.
00:21 But the rest of the day, I just felt like we got to the ball and
00:25 we just never had that same confidence, I felt like.
00:28 I mean, we could do a better job if everyone focused on their job and
00:32 focused in on their keys, but we can't have a day off, and so did that.
00:36 >> How do you guys core consistently run the football world?
00:39 It seems like it's been a struggle for the year, all year long.
00:43 >> Yeah, I mean, I don't know.
00:43 I mean, we just gotta keep believing in our guys, keep trusting them,
00:47 teaching them what these coaches are preaching every day.
00:50 And sometimes it's a miscommunication thing.
00:53 Sometimes guys just get beat.
00:55 Guys just have to take a lot of pride in what they're doing and just play hard.
01:00 But we're just trying to do a better job as a team overall.
01:03 And obviously today we had more- >> You and
01:06 D-Hawk have been on the same page a lot.
01:08 What maybe was off today?
01:10 >> Yeah, I mean, just a couple times where we were on the same page,
01:16 like you said.
01:17 We had that streak down the middle, I didn't really know that was happening.
01:23 Still gotta put some more on it, and he's gotta make that catch, and he knows that.
01:27 That's a big play that could have changed the course of that game.
01:29 But just a couple other times that stuff like that happens,
01:34 we gotta move through it, we gotta learn from it.
01:36 But yeah, that was weird, but it doesn't really happen this way.
01:40 >> On the interception well, on replay, I'm sure it's easy to see,
01:44 but did you see burps during the play going down?
01:48 >> Yeah, that's on me.
01:50 One of my keys that I was looking at, or reminding myself on that play,
01:55 was make sure the corner carries.
01:58 So I saw his back turn, and I was waiting for D-Hawk.
02:02 During that time, my eyes on him, the corner,
02:04 falling off the trail is where it happened.
02:05 So just didn't see him, didn't feel him.
02:08 Gotta learn from it.
02:09 Next time that ball's gotta go out, and that's a touchdown.
02:12 >> Do you feel like you could have gone back in the ball game and
02:14 D-Hawk could have taken the percentage still?
02:17 >> We knew that we weren't gonna really be out there, so
02:19 it wasn't even something we discussed.
02:21 >> What's the pain level right now?
02:23 I would say you're jogging around the sideline after you went to the tent.
02:26 Do you feel like it's better than you initially thought?
02:28 >> Yeah, for sure.
02:29 I thought it was worse, just how I got kind of pulled up on.
02:33 Yeah, but see how it feels tomorrow.
02:36 I mean, I know the adrenaline and everything wears off, but
02:38 like I said, it could have been a lot worse, but I think I'll be all right.
02:41 >> Well, that first drive, you guys went flying right down the field.
02:43 How much of that was all scripted all week long?
02:45 Were those the types of plays you were running on that first drive?
02:50 >> It still didn't necessarily go the way we talked about it.
02:51 We have our openers, and we talk about visualizing how we see it going.
02:54 This will get five, and we'll get the first, and then we'll get on the ball and
02:57 do this.
02:58 How it went wasn't how we imagined it.
03:02 We got the plays off that we knew we were gonna get off in that opening series.
03:04 So when you're able to work on your openers and execute like that,
03:11 get points in that first drive, usually that leads to confidence the rest of the game.
03:14 So we gotta figure out how we can just continue that energy and
03:16 that focus throughout the rest of the game, like we had on that first drive.
