Transcript
00:00Especially after a good week of preparation.
00:05It was very frustrating, man.
00:06Every time you come out here, you put it all into the game plan in a week, and
00:10then just not to come out and execute.
00:12I feel like it's disappointing, of course.
00:13You know the Wardens, they played a decent game, all right?
00:17But you said that the rest of the game would be more hurt than you.
00:20I mean, yeah, they really lined up and took it to a heavy place.
00:23I mean, they didn't do anything tricky.
00:25They exactly lined up and they whipped our ass for fourth quarter, so.
00:29What do you guys need to be better to go against the defense?
00:32Just come out and play football for four quarters.
00:34I mean, we can't wait to get hit.
00:35We gotta go out and attack, and we gotta get that order.
00:40Have you ever had a season like this where so many of the games are close?
00:43This is your ninth loss by seven points or less.
00:46At any point in your football career, have you dealt with something like that?
00:49No, my whole football career, I've been on the other side of it.
00:52So it's kind of bittersweet right now, but it's part of the game, man.
00:57That's why you play, show up every week.
00:58And we still got one more game, we're gonna finish this thing up.
01:01Isn't it humbling, like, after so many years of winning and losing seasons?
01:06Of course, man, of course, man.
01:08When you're always winning, and then when it's finally losing.
01:10Nobody likes losing, of course.
01:12Nobody likes losing.
01:13Is it gonna make you hungrier coming into the next season?
01:15I'm hungry without it.
01:16Even if we was winning, I'm still hungry, so it don't matter.
01:18Do you feel like if you had been healthy for the whole year,
01:20the results of the season might have been different?
01:22I can't, only God knows that.
01:24Control what you control, I don't know.
