00:00No, we enjoy going on the field.
00:01Anytime we get to play football with our brothers
00:05on the defensive side, it's a blast.
00:07We have fun out there.
00:08So with all the turnovers, we don't even pay attention.
00:12Like I said before, our job is to stop the offense
00:14at any given moment.
00:15So we got to do that.
00:16We have to do a better job of that.
00:19I mean, you have to give credit to them.
00:20They made a play.
00:21This is high level competition.
00:23Teams are going to make plays.
00:24We just got to respond better.
00:26He just got the ball off quick.
00:29They did a good job making sure they got
00:31the ball out of their hands.
00:33We got to give credit to the defensive line
00:34for putting pressure on them.
00:36But they just got the ball out quick.
00:38They made plays.
00:39And we just got to tackle better and override the defense,
00:42just play better.
00:43I mean, I don't know if you saw Chris Rory and RJ Obernout
00:45there making plays at the end of the game.
00:47But that's the type of guys we have.
00:49We're never going to quit until that final whistle blows.
00:51And so I definitely have to give a shout out for those guys
00:54fighting to the end, especially with the score
00:56being what it was.
00:58That's a testament to them and their willpower.
01:01The coaches see that, too.
01:02And as an older guy, that's very impressive to see.
01:05And hopefully, they get on the field.
01:08They're going to do good.
01:09And we have trust in them.
01:10So as an older guy, I'm just proud of them and their effort.
01:15We just got to tackle better, bring our feet,
01:17make sure we all swarm to the ball.
01:19The whistle doesn't blow.
01:20Everybody has to be running to the ball.
01:22And that goes on me, too.
01:23I didn't do a good job of that today.
01:25And so I take credit for a couple of those runs
01:27that slipped by.
01:28That's on me.
01:29But we're going to go back tomorrow.
01:31We're going to wake up tomorrow.
01:32The sun's going to rise.
01:33And we're all going to be alive, hopefully.
01:36But we're just going to get back to work tomorrow.
01:40We've got to come together as a family.
01:43It was a tough loss.
01:45But at the end of the day, we've got to have each other's backs,
01:49get back to Durham safely.
01:52We're going to have, I don't know what time it is.
01:54We'll have a couple of hours.
01:55Everybody handles losses in different ways.
01:58But when we come back tomorrow, we're
01:59going to love on each other.
02:01We're going to be smiling.
02:02We're going to be happy.
02:03And they'll be back.
02:04And we're going to get back to work.
