Head Coach Jonathan Gannon Press Conference - Cardinals 2024 Preseason

okay uh you know I think it's pretty self-explanatory we didn't uh mode of play one of our modes of play is our brain and we didn't use it tonight um Falls strictly on me I thought we were ready to play physically violence was on his play good good effort finish but I just told them we're not going to beat anybody making those kind of mistakes it's too hard to win in this league and you can't self-destruct than we did on all three phases um so that's falls on me and the coaches so we got to get it cleaned up fast and that's what we'll do on Monday they'll be off tomorrow and then they come in and work on Monday go ahead I you know it's it falls on me and coaches you know what I mean they weren't ready to play mentally I think physically we're ready to play mentally you can't make that many mistakes and expect to win a game so that's on us pretty good I I I liked how we finished the half um he made some plays with his arm and his legs um you know again we had the ball moving a couple times we get knocked back you know I think we settled for a field goal that drive took points off the board because of the hold you know it's hard to win like that it's hard to get any type of rhythm going you know get plays off get in Rhythm um when you got the ball moving and you're going backwards so we got to do all we have to do better as a collective whole yeah I thought I mean there's he he had some good balls in there I thought he made some plays with his legs you know I'm sure just like Clayton who wants some plays back um would have liked to see the last play get off but um we we didn't get it done uh I thought the the pick was good I just told him I mean the takeaways were good that's the reason we stayed in the game um without those takeaways I think we get the break speed off of us truthfully um but I think I got you know I'd have to watch the tape but I know the interception was a phenomenal play I thought he had a couple tackles in there he look good yeah yeah I thought the rush was pretty good tonight you know what I mean and then you know the one drive I think it ended with a Miss field goal but we had two third Downs that we get off but we we foul you know so we just got to be smarter and like I said it falls on me and the coaches we got to do a better job with them so they understand more and play and play with proper technique so we don't fou I mean keep maximized himself as a player uh I just like where he's at he got a lot of work the last two days um I like where he's at felt like he needed to not play no because we've been pretty clean and I mean we've been practicing with refs and nothing that's crazy but you know every crew is a little bit different how they call it that's what they call I mean we got to we got to play smarter than that you know and with better Tech technique penalties come with decision- making and technique technique so if you don't make the proper decision that's normally a penalty if you don't play with the correct technique you're going to fall no I thought he actually reset at halftime and did a good job when he came back out I was he I was enthused about what he did in the second half yeah yeah I mean they they it matters to all these guys they want to see their buddies do well um and you know when that happens for whatever reasons you know you got to make sure that you reset yourself and get back to playing fundamentally sound and and have a quick memory and go out there and execute and I thought he did that for the most part in the second half I was proud of him yeah yeah I thought he looked violent physical he had a couple good coverages in there um forc the fumble I think U he looked good in there and he played two spots today so that was good to see yeah absolutely I me obviously not a win you know so I'm a little bent out of shape about that but uh um yeah I think uh we identified through those being here um you know what wins games and what loses games what we need to improve on on all three phases as a team um I think some guys are starting to um Define their roles which is which is huge as we get near uh Labor Day and um you know we got to have a good week next week when we get back uh I would say you know just their their attitude and effort for two days two hard days there um we were locked in for the most part you know through the whole week handle our business I think we got closer as a team honestly um off the field which is one of the reasons I'd like to go uh and do what we just did um but you know that's that's a bunch of talk we got to go out on Monday work and get better um I that's a tough question without any self-reflection time Tao so I'll pass on that one but I got to get the football team um operating better for us to win games that's my snap judgment off that because that's what that was out there he's fast gets open catches the ball he can return the ball um you look good he look good all week okay thank you guys they travel back
