00:00 I think we got a resilient group, so we'll have to go back to the drawing board tomorrow.
00:06 Watch the tape, really dive into the tape, figure out what the things that we need to
00:09 do, things that we need to improve on, things that we need to better communicate on across
00:13 the board.
00:14 So it starts tomorrow for us.
00:16 The group that we have, most guys will break down the tape and stuff tonight, and we'll
00:21 be able to get a jump tomorrow, so we can really get the ball rolling in the right direction.
00:25 >> What's being said in the offensive huddle or on the sidelines, you guys only have one
00:29 yard after several drives in the game.
00:31 >> Yeah, again, it's tough.
00:32 Like I said before, for us, we have to execute to be able to get first downs on first downs,
00:38 first downs on second downs, and then convert on third downs and get those.
00:42 For us, I don't think we didn't do that enough.
00:45 Again, we started to get some explosives right before the halftime to be able to move the
00:49 ball in and kind of get a little bit of momentum, but for us, it has to start much earlier.
00:54 We have to be in the tack more, we have to make sure that we're on our P's and Q's and
00:57 getting the ball rolling early.
00:59 >> Do you feel it?
01:00 >> Is it a rhythm thing, or something a little off on each play?
01:03 Did you identify anything as the game was playing out why it wasn't working?
01:07 >> It's tough.
01:08 Gotta go back and watch the film, but again, for us, it's just about executing.
01:12 Like I said before, we did get into some third and man it was, and we didn't come around
01:16 on those, but for us, we were in second of all, a decent amount.
01:20 For us, it's about making sure that we're winning on first down, and
01:24 that'll help us succeed throughout the course of drives.
01:27 And being able to put those third and outs even more manageable, and
01:30 then being able to give us an opportunity to get first and outs on second downs, and
