00:00 >> Yeah, well, first of all, Jake's very emotional guy in the first place.
00:03 Don't even pay attention to him.
00:04 But yeah, I mean, anytime you lose, I mean, it sucks to lose.
00:09 Main thing, come back to work tomorrow.
00:13 Next one, we gotta move on.
00:15 It's a tough loss.
00:16 I'm with Chris, with Leonard, and Will, who went down during the game.
00:22 But we just gotta come together as a team like we've been doing all season.
00:26 Go back tomorrow, look at the film.
00:28 We got a bye week coming up, so we have a lot of time to dissect what we got to do
00:32 better as a team to improve heading into our next game.
00:37 I felt like I had more energy in the second half than the first, but
00:41 I think it's, I don't really pay any attention to that.
00:43 Our job is put pressure on the quarterback, make him feel uncomfortable.
00:47 So as long as I'm doing that,
00:49 we always don't have to make sacks to impact the game or impact the quarterback.
00:52 Us being around him is just hassling him and him always thinking about us.
00:57 Obviously, I think we had three interceptions.
00:59 So we didn't get the five, six sack game, but
01:03 DBs did an incredible job this week capitalizing on interception chances,
01:08 getting the ball back to our offense.
01:11 First of all, I don't think there's a wrong time for a bye week.
01:13 Anytime you get a week off, and
01:14 especially from the standpoint where we play all ACC teams except one.
01:19 But yeah, definitely this week is gonna be a time to take a deep breath, reset,
01:24 figure out what we got to do better, offensively, defensively, special teams.
01:29 Fix those mistakes, and just continue to keep chopping at that tree.
01:34 And that tree is gonna come down soon enough.
01:36 You gotta give them credit.
01:38 That's a great offense.
01:39 I think they average like 35 points coming into this game.
01:43 So you just gotta give them credit, making plays where they made plays.
01:47 Defensively, I like to say, we gotta tackle better, do our jobs better,
01:53 and we'll fix that.
01:54 We'll head in tomorrow, look at the film like we always do.
01:59 And like I said, you just keep chopping at that tree.
