00:00 in most of these games,
00:01 you tend to be in a position where you're close,
00:03 but you can't get the team over the line.
00:06 - Yeah, it's very frustrating.
00:07 I mean, we know we can win these games.
00:11 It's just little, little things that we're missing,
00:15 and it's very hard to come up that short
00:19 against teams that we know we can beat.
00:21 But it's just, it's always,
00:24 you gotta have a lot of discipline.
00:26 - All right.
00:29 Second week in a row,
00:30 we saw running back kind of explode in the second half
00:33 after falling to them off in the first half.
00:35 Is that due to, I guess, lack of focus,
00:39 or just adjustments from the opposition?
00:41 - A little bit of both.
00:44 I was gonna say focus, 'cause he was an explosive guy.
00:46 Just like we saw last week,
00:49 that guy was an explosive guy.
00:51 But this week, we had both the quarterback
00:53 and the running back were both explosive,
00:54 and we gotta keep both of them.
00:56 So it's a little bit of adjustments and focus,
00:58 and try to have good discipline.
01:00 All comes back down to discipline.
01:03 - Brian Drez gets ejected early in the game.
01:04 How do you as a defense kind of break that?
01:08 That's something that you gotta be thankful for.
01:10 - Yeah, I mean, we just try to stay positive.
01:13 No matter who's out there, they gotta do their job.
01:16 When someone gets ejected, we never go blank.
01:21 We always stay up, stay positive,
01:23 and just keep going and do our job.
01:25 - Have to cast some dust canes, you feel good?
01:28 - Yeah, I'm fine.
01:29 It's just a little finger broken.
01:30 I'll be all right.
01:31 Put a couple screws in there Tuesday.
01:33 I'll be back at it Wednesday.
01:34 Be good.
01:35 - Yeah, was the team kind of informed
01:42 and kept up to speed about who the player was
01:43 and quarterback this week?
01:44 Obviously, the flip flop in the first half
01:46 that was the best.
01:48 - No, I don't really pay too much attention
01:50 on that side of the ball.
01:51 They do what they gotta do,
01:54 and I just focus on what our defense has to do
01:56 and let our defense do what we do best.
01:59 - We've seen some younger guys get some experience
02:05 in times past a couple weeks.
02:06 What are your thoughts on their play?
02:08 - Oh, I mean, yeah, they're working hard.
02:10 Tell you what, every week in practice, they go hard.
02:13 They don't give up.
02:14 They keep on pushing.
02:15 I mean, they're young.
02:17 They haven't seen a lot of football,
02:19 but they be working.
02:22 Yeah, they be going.
02:23 Any questions?
02:25 Thank you.
