00:00I'm getting first downs.
00:01I don't think we did a good job of doing that
00:03coming out of first half.
00:05What was it like in the locker room?
00:06Did anybody say anything?
00:07Did Zach say anything?
00:08Did anybody address anybody
00:09that made that switch flip for y'all in the second?
00:12Zach came in and said a few words,
00:13but it was all about execution.
00:16Did they change the way they usually play,
00:17or do they still go too high in the play zone,
00:20or did they change it up a little?
00:22They went cloud to the field,
00:23quarters to the, I mean, cloud to the boundary,
00:26quarters to the field.
00:30Mixing a little double-double, second half.
00:33Joe just called this the most frustrating season
00:36of his career.
00:37Would you say the same?
00:38Yeah.
00:39Why?
00:41What's our record?
00:43More insanity.
00:44That's why.
00:45Can you explain why the inconsistency
00:48has been there all year?
00:48You guys can't seem to string together
00:51plays or quarters or halves.
00:54I don't know, man.
00:55I don't know what we doing.
00:55I don't know why we not finishing.
00:56I don't know what we doing
00:58to give ourselves an advantage to finish.
01:00I don't know.
01:01Did you feel like y'all tied it so early
01:03in the fourth quarter?
01:04Did you feel like there was still more to come
01:06at that point?
01:06I mean, how did you feel as soon as y'all tied it that early?
01:10We thought we was winning the game once we,
01:13I thought we was winning the game
01:13once we got the ball back the second time, man.
01:15Two minutes.
01:17Well, yeah, two minutes left in the fourth quarter, so.
01:22The tying touchdown,
01:24look like Joe was directing traffic.
01:25He was directing what we,
01:28what was he telling you to do?
01:30Just gave me the thumb,
01:31just like go left, so.
01:34He was double, man.
01:35He was, he was double.
01:37I don't know.
01:38Was I?
01:39I don't know.
01:40He said you.
01:40I was.
01:41Always open.
01:42Do you think that the way that the defense
01:44was playing in the first half
01:46and just kind of how easy it was
01:47for the Chargers to score,
01:49do you feel like that kind of deflated
01:50you guys as an offense?
01:56Not really.
01:56You know, if the defense down,
01:57we gotta pick them up, vice versa.
02:00Joe, did you kind of regret it
02:01not hitting you on the goal ball there at the end?
02:04Did you guys thinking about trying to set that up?
02:05Were you thinking to hit that at some point?
02:08Mm, we didn't call a double goal
02:11till the second half, for real.
02:15We had them, though.
02:16You know, we just didn't hit them.
02:17That would've been to dive in and walk off Teddy,
02:20you know, so, I mean, we just didn't do it.
02:22You guys double,
02:23so, I mean, we just didn't do it.
02:24You know, Joe, as long as anybody,
02:26with him dropping back as much as,
02:27how do you feel about how much he's dropping back,
02:29I mean, going back, you know, the last couple games,
02:31the amount of pass attempts,
02:32I mean, what are your thoughts
02:33on how much he's had to go back?
02:35Keep throwing the ball.
02:37What do you think the mindset needs to be
02:38for the team out of the bye week?
02:42I don't know, everybody just need to get,
02:44I don't know, man.
02:45I don't know.
02:47I can't answer that, I have no clue.
02:49Do you feel like you're answering these questions
02:51week after week?
02:51How frustrating is that?
02:54I mean, yeah, y'all ask the same questions,
02:56because we give y'all the same thing every time,
02:59you know what I'm saying?
03:00Right, but you guys also have had a lot of these losses
03:04that have kind of built up, I would assume,
03:06and get frustrating for you.
03:09Yeah, it don't really matter how good I perform
03:11at the end of the day.
03:12Putting up all them numbers and losing is not good.
03:15Do you feel like y'all can still be,
03:17like, are the playoffs realistic at this point,
03:19four and seven, do you feel like y'all can?
03:21Joe said, y'all gotta get to 10, that's when it out.
03:23How realistic do you think is that,
03:24given y'all's form?
03:25Honestly, I don't know, man.
03:26I have no clue.
03:28I still believe in the guys in this locker room, though.
03:30We just gotta find ways to finish.
03:32You've seen Evan make, gosh, like,
03:35I've heard everybody obviously knows you.
03:37What do you do?
03:38How do I do it?
03:38I don't know.
03:39Ask Zach, ask the coaches, don't ask me.
03:41That's not my job.
03:42To finish?
03:43I play football on the field.
03:45I don't call plays for us, you know?
03:47So I can't really do nothing.
03:48You think that's part of the finishing factor,
03:51is plays, stuff?
03:51I don't know.
03:53You've seen, gosh.
03:55I wasn't saying nothing.
03:56You've seen Evan, obviously, make plenty of big kicks.
04:00Obviously, he missed two tonight.
04:02What do you say to him?
04:04Do you say anything?
04:05What's going through your mind?
04:07But he knows to make those kicks, you know?
04:09That's why we paid him those bucks,
04:10to make those kicks in crunch time.
04:13Did you guys change anything in the second half?
04:15I mean, you had that great-
04:16Change anything?
04:17Yeah, you had that great nine-minute run there.
04:18We got the three touchdowns.
04:19We didn't change nothing.
04:20We just stayed with our offense and executed.
04:25Smart.
04:26Did he say anything to you after the goal ball?
04:30Nah, I mean, shit, we both mess up.
04:32We don't talk to each other.
04:33You know what we do now.
04:35That's why we pros.
