00:00I mean, I would say the thing that's disappointing about it is going into the fourth quarter,
00:04I think they had like 54 rushing yards, but like numbers-wise, we weren't doing as bad
00:09as it may look.
00:10But then the last drive, and I think they broke off two long runs, or the last couple
00:14drives, they break off two long runs, and things got out of hand at the very end.
00:18But I feel like it wasn't as clean, obviously, as we liked.
00:22But it's not like we're just getting overmanned, we're getting outmatched, you know what I
00:26mean?
00:28So, you know, we're excited about the opportunity to go out there this Sunday and, you know,
00:32show the improvement that we've made and, you know, go from there.
00:34Jonathan, did you guys notice, was it noticeable for you when Bucky Irving came in the rookie
00:41as opposed to Rashad White?
00:42Rashad White gets most of the work there, but Irving, like, he just looks like he's
00:46more, yeah, more explosion to his game than White, who's, you know, a good all-around
00:51player, just doesn't have that same sort of burst as Irving.
00:56You know, two definitely different styles of backs.
00:59Obviously, when Irving comes in the game, it's like, all right, you know, we understand
01:03what kind of player he is, and we've got to watch out for what he does well.
01:06But, yeah, I mean, Rashad White's no slouch either, so it was something that we knew what
01:12both backs had for strengths and weaknesses, and, you know, Irving was able to get a couple
01:16plays on us.
01:17I mean, Rashad White had 106 total yards in the game, so he did some damage.
01:22Yeah, yeah.
01:23I mean, obviously, look, defensively, it wasn't what we wanted, but, you know, we're not going
01:28to panic after one week.
01:29There's a lot of things that we can correct, and we're going to correct.
01:31I have the utmost faith in the staff and the players to make the necessary adjustments
01:36and changes, and, you know, we're going to do that come Sunday.
