00:00 - In your case of play in the fourth quarter,
00:01 did you feel like there was an adequate sense of urgency?
00:04 I mean, you were down two scores,
00:05 it was 30 to 14 at one point,
00:07 you guys had a drive, there was a sack,
00:09 where it's a 13 yard loss,
00:10 and I think that whole drive took a minute and 30 off the clock
00:13 and didn't really make any progress.
00:15 - Yeah, no, the sack was a big play.
00:16 You know, we kind of get it on a long field,
00:21 get it first down,
00:23 then we get it out there kind of in the 20, 30 range,
00:26 and then it's P and 10 play,
00:30 seven man protection,
00:32 and we give up the sack, right?
00:34 So, and really, the challenging thing about that
00:37 is from an analytics standpoint,
00:39 I mean, it was a go for it, all go situation,
00:42 so the last thing you want to do is have a negative play.
00:46 So, yeah, you're spot on,
00:49 but it's a two score game for a lot of the second half
00:51 to some degree.
00:56 And, you know, I mean, I think once the game became about time,
01:00 you know, we played with more tempo and urgency,
01:02 but I think it was three scores at that point.
01:06 - How do you evaluate your own play
01:07 calling in the immediate aftermath of doing like this?
01:10 What goes through your mind, I guess?
01:12 - Yeah, I mean, I think I remember them all, you know,
01:17 and I think between possessions, we know what happened,
01:24 you know, so I think sometimes, you know,
01:29 you got to remain objective.
01:30 No different than how we evaluate everything that we do.
01:34 You know, what caused the issues in the game, you know,
01:37 is that sometimes it may be design,
01:39 sometimes it's communication,
01:41 sometimes it's about disability,
01:43 sometimes it's fundamentals and techniques, right?
01:46 I think there's lots of things, you know,
01:48 that contribute to when you don't have success in this game,
01:51 right, so we've got a great group of people
01:58 that work hard to do that,
02:00 and we certainly weren't good enough today.
02:03 - I'm just trying to be accurate with, like, criticism.
02:05 Like, is it inaccurate or accurate, some of what's --
02:09 - I think there's always good and bad.
02:12 You know, some of it's well-deserved.
02:14 Some of it, you know,
02:17 maybe they don't quite know what they're talking about,
02:19 So I think it's probably a mixed bag.
