00:00 You know they do a lot of stuff, they do some unorthodox stuff defensively,
00:04 but it's stuff that we saw they did a good job of mixing it up.
00:07 And me at home, but that's not, we talked about it and had plans for it.
00:11 And I didn't do a good enough job of executing that,
00:14 whether it's getting the ball in my hand and bringing it to me,
00:17 or the blocker, and his block, but
00:18 looking to make sure we're getting to the right people, things like that.
00:22 So, I'm trying to do a better job of communicating and executing.
00:25 Again, credit goes to them, they did a great job, but
00:27 it was stuff that we had prepared for, we had preparations for.
00:32 I didn't do enough to make sure that we executed on the same page,
00:35 but that's my job, so that's on me.
00:38 >> [INAUDIBLE]
00:41 >> We normally hear about you being just so
00:43 even keeled, cool, calm, and collected.
00:45 You seem to be a little bit frustrated for the first time visibly today.
00:50 Can you talk about that a little bit?
00:51 >> Yeah, just frustrated myself on definitely stuff that I want back, but
00:57 not at the same time, I have to do a better job of being that same guy.
01:03 Sometimes emotion comes out, and then you gotta go to the next play.
01:06 And again, for the rest of the work, I do a better job of keeping that face,
01:12 regardless, but just mad at myself for stuff.
01:15 There's always plays I want back, but it doesn't carry over.
01:18 You have to have a short term memory.
01:21 You have to be able to turn the page and move on.
01:24 There's some emotional moment, and then for me, just moving on after that.
01:28 But still, obviously, as a leader, I wanna make sure that I'm being consistent,
01:31 being the same guy, being more steady.
01:33 So there's a lot for me to improve on, and that's definitely one of them.
01:36 >> Right, so you saw several moments.
01:38 Adam Field just referenced how he wanted to encourage you after this game.
01:42 He's all that he goes, and also just pouring into you after this.
01:45 What do you take from him about that?
01:47 >> Yeah, I'm blessed to be a part of a team like this,
01:50 a team that's really well-founded, that we all care, we're all passionate.
01:55 And we all know that from one another.
01:57 So I'm grateful to have the guys that are around me.
02:00 We're always trying to pick each other up, great guys,
02:03 leaders, guys and just teammates in general.
02:06 And we all really wanna win, we all really wanna have success.
02:11 We work hard and we wanna see it come to fruition.
02:14 Obviously, it's disappointing when that doesn't happen, and that's been the case.
02:17 So I'm very grateful to have the teammates that I do.
02:21 We all, we're all behind each other.
02:23 And obviously, it's not going to be the end of the day, it is what it is.
02:27 So we have to keep pushing, keep building.
02:29 I'm definitely grateful for the guys around me.
02:32 >> What did Adam have to say to you?
02:35 >> Just obviously just talking such tough words to me.
02:38 I've been there, Adam, I just really encouraged and
02:42 I appreciate coming from a guy who's had so much success in the senior role.
02:46 Just for being there, just encouraging myself and having that talk to me.
02:53 Again, that really means a lot, especially for someone like him.
02:56 There's a lot of guys in there.
02:57 We're all, again, we're all very invested, we all care a lot.
03:00 So people are down, we're trying to pick people up.
03:05 It's all a collective group and I mean, Adam definitely,
03:08 it is one that came into me and has been encouraging, which I really appreciate.
03:13 And other people too, and we're all in that boat trying to service each other.
03:17 So again, I'm super grateful to have the teammates I have.
03:19 Obviously, it's not what we wanna be, but we all care about, we're all passionate.
03:24 So we all have to feed off of each other, good and bad.
03:26 I'm grateful that we can do that as a team.
03:28 >> Obviously, you're gonna execute better than you did, but
03:31 what specifically is most frustrating to you right now?
03:34 >> Yeah, well, execution, of course.
03:39 But obviously, Chen and
03:43 Boll over is something we talk about a lot,
03:49 that is a huge, huge, huge swing of the game.
03:53 And again, that's solely the single end realm.
03:56 And again, the stuff we talked about, that's no one else but me.
04:02 And there's stuff on top of that that you want back.
04:06 Again, we have to turn around, we have to flip the page.
04:12 And going from it, eventually, it's tough right now.
04:16 Again, we all care a lot, we're all passionate.
04:18 So there's multiple things that I could have done better,
04:22 that I gotta improve on and keep getting better at.
04:25 And all I can do now is put my head down and try to keep working.
04:29 >> Good, and then you wanna- >> Run you.
04:33 >> Can you, after the game when you were just sitting there,
04:36 your teammates all showered, most of them are gone.
04:38 You're still sitting in the locker with your full uniform on.
04:44 Why did you not go ahead and shower and
04:46 have it kind of simplistic and what's kind of going through your mind?
04:49 >> It's not a great feeling.
04:50 I mean, we all feel that a lot.
04:53 It's not a great feeling.
04:55 I'm not sweating, I haven't worn it.
04:56 It's not a great feeling.
04:57 You go and burn some of this stuff and you wanna make the results.
05:00 I'm afraid it's this league, it's the business, it is what it is.
05:03 Again, we have to move on.
05:04 No one's gonna feel sorry for us, who doesn't do it to us any good,
05:07 to feel sorry for ourselves.
05:09 But it's not a good feeling.
05:10 So, again, we all feel that, we all share that, we all own it.
05:16 Right now, it is what it is.
05:19 Tomorrow, we'll be back, trying to improve it, trying to change the outcome and
05:23 do what we can do.
05:24 But it's not a great feeling.
05:26 >> And just a quick thought on Franklin, Franklin's big interception return.
05:30 >> Yeah, it was a huge play early.
05:32 The defense, I think, did a great job getting us points, doing a great job.
05:37 That's very explosive offense.
05:39 I thought they did a great job throughout on battling.
05:43 That's huge, the defense picked us up, got us off to a great start.
05:46 And again, as a unit, as an offense, myself, first and foremost,
05:51 we can't squander that away.
05:53 We have to make sure that we capitalize on things like that.
05:55 So we do everything I can to be better.
05:59 Thank you, brother.
