Overall, I think it was
inconsistent. I thought we had two nice drives three nights
drives really and we got to be able to convert on third down to
get some more opportunities. We got to stay on the field.
What happened? This kind of. Yeah, unfortunately, we were
close on a couple that were, I thought had great opportunity
to be good plays, and that's something. We've watched the
tape. We've looked at it. We've corrected it and I give that
defense a lot of credit. They are very Fast and did a fine job and we just have to be a little
better one step quicker. I mean, you said it. I mean,
what we always are looking to try to establish a run game,
wanted to get that going early and then, you know, you kind of
build the plays the play past and the past game off of the
runs. So that's how our philosophy is and didn't get the Run game going.
Like we wanted to like I said, I think there were a couple of
Trinity's that we could have had some really
good plays and that's just part of the game. You see any rust when they're not really? I mean, I think
obviously going out for the first, the first drive I
know he was very excited to be back on the field with his
guys and I think we all saw. He had some
amazing moments, the 112 play drive. You had
some, some great checks and great throws and then, you know,
obviously had the good one to Alan a couple good ones
that were unbelievably accurate, so it was just good to see him out
there. Good. See him out there and finish the
game. I'll tell you the best thing
that happened in that game. You look at the first drive, you
know, we went three and out and he had a great opportunity to
convert on that when we went right to him because we trust
him and we love him and, you know, he slipped out of the
break and it didn't work out and that was kind of that moment
of what's going to happen now. And I think it was
just it's so great to see how he responded. Didn't bother him,
didn't affect him. He knew he should have made that
catch and he came back and made a couple really big plays
for us. So, I think that's, I mean,
that's just a testament to him and what he's done to be able to
put him in position to be a good player for us. Staff to do it anonymously because that kind of a plan. No
we just we didn't have a lot of snap so we got to stay on the
field. We got to convert on third down and not go three and
out so we can involve everyone will see how the game goes after. The first two guys are
yes, that's what kind of work there. I was just great to see a
couple, you know, it wasn't necessarily explosive plays but
we had a The third down conversions. We had a good one
to briefs, you know, just things got rolling and I think
the guys were executing at a really good level. I thought, you know, they were really good
in the red zone and were able to score twice
down there but that one that breeze have was a great run. So again it's just getting those
efficient place. I think. One thing we did that was good was
we were always in manageable third down. We're always in a
manageable third down, not ever and really anything long didn't
really lose a lot of yardage so it gave us a chance. We just we got to convert on those third
and manageable has more Recent Gary only two touched in
the first half. I'm sure you want other guys
involved. I mean, when you call the plays,
you have an intention for you're going to. We
obviously want to get the ball to Garrett and briefs quite a
bit. We all know how spectacular, they AR, and we're
lucky because we have a lot of guys that we want to get
involved. But that's again, the flow of
the game. I mean, if somebody gets hot, you want to keep
feeding them, but at the same time, we got to
stay on the field. I mean that's kind of what we've been
preaching is that we can't go three and out. And I mean the
turnovers I mean there were a lot of things that kind of stopped our drives at that we
control. I'll tell you they protected
really well. I thought they did a good job. Aaron didn't get hit
much. I felt like he had some time in there and, you know, I think the Run game
stuff, we just got to clean up. We were a couple steps off here
and there and that will get corrected. He did a fine job going in
there. I mean, watching him go. Downhill is, is something special? I mean, he
lets Guys know. And you know it's good to get him in
there and you know, get his feet wet for the first time and he's another guy, you know,
you mentioned Mike you mentioned him, Isaiah ex you
know there's so many got Corley, you know, there's so
many guys, we want to get involved, we just got to stay on
the field. You know, he just got here. I just got I just got to see
him. So excited to have him back. He's
great guy. So we'll see how that moves forward. I just like I said, about a step
off, you know, I mean Tate, they took some angles,
they took all all the things that we've asked
them to do and then it was just kind of like that last step they
beat us to the punch. All right. You know, it's a new
coordinator. So whenever you're dealing with the new
coordinator, you never know exactly what you're going to
get. So you have to be kind of ready for anything and their
style of defense is very multiple. They can give you a lot of
different fronts. A lot of different coverages. Different
Personnel packages. So I think we have to be sure
that we are communicating and talking through it up front with
the offensive line so they know where they're going and how
we choreograph all that. So that's that's one thing and you
know they did a good job last week I mean they gave themselves an opportunity
defensively. They did some good things. So we got to be ready
for all the pressure. All the stuff they can throw at us. He's a beast. I mean he is a
phenomenal football player. You have to know where he is. You
got to try to get as many double teams as you can on them.
You have to respect him. I mean his play. Has been very good for so long
and we got to know where he is. Go get the third. You got involved in here to just kind of event that
throughout the game. No, I mean, I kind of look at it
is, as when we got out there, again,
we had a three and out. We had a turnover on the second play. Then we got
the long drive. And then I believe we went three
and out or had an interception. Next. I mean it
just in the end we just never got to
get in that Rhythm. And the way you do, that is by
converting on third Downs, especially those manageable
situations so you can get him more involved, in others also
involved. Both are fine. I think that for us I'm going to start on the
sideline again. Be there with Erin and be able
to talk through things.
