00:00I mean, we didn't convert on third down.
00:03When you go to, I think we were two of nine on third down,
00:05which usually doesn't lead to touchdowns very much,
00:07unless you're doing it all in first and second.
00:09One of three and four down doesn't help.
00:11I think we finished, I think on that last,
00:14we were two of four in the red zone.
00:15So it was a challenge today and we can do better.
00:19It's as simple as executing.
00:20We got the players, we got the scheme,
00:21we got what it takes and it's dropping back
00:25and executing, knowing where my answers are at
00:28and getting the balls into the guy's hands
00:30and drop-stepping and getting first downs.
00:32And it's all of that, it's football, man.
00:34Just because you got really good players and good scheme
00:36doesn't mean the other team's gonna give it to you.
00:38You have to go out and earn it.
00:39I think our standards are higher
00:40than what we put on tape today.
00:43You know, it's back-to-back weeks we've started out
00:45like with two not great drives to start off.
00:47We have opportunities, they're like,
00:48it's not like we're on third and 15.
00:50It's like the first two drives,
00:51I'm pretty sure they were manageable third downs,
00:52we just didn't convert.
00:53That's hard and then you go down to the red zone
00:55and we don't get a touchdown on fourth down.
