00:00I really give that, you know, obviously, in those last few plays, kudos to, you know,
00:13holding up in some type of protection for the whole line, obviously, and then, I mean,
00:18hats off to 1A, you know, did his thing in there, got out of the pocket and made an unbelievable
00:24throw.
00:25Great job by Rome.
00:26You know, finding the pocket there and making a catch and just keeping us alive, obviously,
00:32you know, in those situations, you know that they're going to be coming in terms of pass
00:37rush and that's how they just want to get home.
00:39So it's a great job of him, you know, being mobile in the pocket and just getting out
00:46there and making a play.
00:47Yeah, I just think the details of the screen game, being able to obviously get, you know,
00:53some of your linemen and playmakers out in space and then, obviously, when you put the
00:59ball in DJ's hand, something cool is going to happen, something's going to happen.
01:03So just being on the details, I think, this week and having a little bit more juice I
01:10feel like led to better success in all types of, you know, the run game, pass game, all
01:16of it being a big correlation to us, just having more juice and, you know, getting into
01:21that situation 100% on me.
01:24But yeah, technical things, I just, you know, looked at it and I got to be better in some
01:29technique issues coming back, you know, from injury or whatever that is.
01:36But, you know, I just got to be better in that situation and not give them the inside,
01:40better with my hands and then, of course, better pad level the whole game.

06:37Yeah.
06:38Yeah.
06:39Yeah.
06:40Yeah.
06:41Yeah.
06:42Yeah.
06:43at the end of the day and try and get your job done.
06:45I think it's just kudos to all 11 players,
06:49you know, trying to get their job done
06:51and being better in particular situations.
06:54And that's all that is.
06:55All right.
06:55So in what ways do you feel like Thomas Brown provided a spark
06:58for you guys last week?
07:00Yeah, I mean, just
07:02early in the week, he came in, told us, you know,
07:05we got to be on our details.
07:06It starts with us. It starts with the energy.
07:08It starts with, you know, Wednesday practice, Thursday practice
07:11and into Friday and then continuing that through Saturday
07:13and letting it loose on Sunday.
07:15And that's kind of what he started with.
07:17And for me myself, that's what I did.
07:20I just, you know, coming back off an injury, just trying to be able
07:24to give the juice where I could be being on my details, being as good as I could.
07:28And I think every player, all 11 took took that serious.
07:32And with, you know, that being how he started, Thomas gave that to us
07:37and was just like, let's just be, you know, great attitude and great effort.
07:40Like we can control, we can control and go out and execute what he calls.
07:44And I think that's just what we did with better juice and energy.
07:47And it led to a better outcome.
07:51Preston, you're obviously on the field for the game deciding kick.
07:53What did your your eyes see in your ears here in that whole sequence?
07:58Yeah, you know, the
08:01just kind of is what it is, all 11.
08:05When we talk about it, we all got to be better in protection.
08:09And I just think it's super unfortunate.
08:12Obviously, you look at some of the things that happened on the play,
08:15and that's unfortunate as well.
08:16But can not going to point fingers, not going to do any of that.
08:21You know, we're that close to us being in here cheering still probably.
08:27And it's just unfortunate.
08:29I think the biggest thing is, is, you know, looking at the film,
08:33seeing where, you know, each player can be better in the protection
08:36and going from there.
08:39And you can't really do with whatever call should have been made
08:43or whatever it is.
08:44I think just executing better, you're able to describe the second time
08:49in four weeks where you guys are right on the doorstep of a big win.
08:52And then it all turns in a moment.
08:55Yeah, it's it's hard to kind of
08:59take in. It's hard for me.
09:01I'm obviously, you know, been playing these guys for three years
09:06and haven't had a chance to to beat them.
09:09But it's just frustrating, I think.
09:12But it just takes more discipline.
09:14And it doesn't it starts before that, before even a field goal.
09:18We could have, you know, done more to not even be in that position.
09:21So I just think, you know, we got to continue fighting and keep on going.
09:26Don't let this, you know, get in the way.
09:29Just continue to fight forward.
09:33Thank you. Appreciate you guys.
09:34You guys have a good afternoon.
