00:00You know, our receivers did a good job of finding space.
00:02We didn't get a ton of man coverage, but when we did, you know, we made them pay.
00:06They made a good play there on the last third down.
00:09You know, we had good field position most of the day.
00:12And, you know, I think for the most part we took advantage of it.
00:16But, you know, we had some dumb mistakes.
00:19And, you know, we've got to get those fixed if we want to be a great team.
00:21Seems like the guys that you did the damage with on third down,
00:25Samadji, Tana, Kiseki, I mean, he's not.
00:28Everybody's worried about Jemiro's team.
00:29It seemed like you're, you know, the complimentary guys.
00:32Yeah, Tana made an unbelievable play on third down.
00:34He made a great play in the red zone.
00:37You know, Dante won against man coverage on third down.
00:41You know, Mike's going to be Mike, obviously.
00:43I don't know how many touchdowns he has, but it feels like he catches,
00:47every time he catches it, it's a touchdown.
00:50And, you know, Samadji made a big-time play down there as well.
00:53So, you know, a lot to get better at, but a lot of good as well.
00:56Joe, can you take us through the Jamar touchdown again?
01:00Stepping up in the pocket, describe that.
01:01Yeah, we – that's a protection I really like.
01:04You know, it buys me time and space to push the ball down the field.
01:07And when you can push the ball down the field with the guys that we have
01:13and we can buy that kind of time, you know,
01:15you see what number one can do whenever the ball's in the air.
01:19Obviously, unbelievable play.
01:22We don't want to take it for granted, but we're used to it at this point, you know.
01:25What about Jamar and T playing through what they've played through?
01:29Yeah, that's football, man.
01:31That's football.
01:33When we – when you have great players that want to be great
01:36and want to be there for the team, that's what it's all about.
01:41Touchdowns to these.
01:42It looked like you took a pretty hard hit when you were trying to fall on the ball
01:46after the chase fumble.
01:48How are you feeling at this point?
01:49You seem to be able to get to talk to you during the bye.
01:51Yeah, I feel great.
01:52I feel great.
01:53That's football.
01:53Was he at the front?
01:54Did you have fun?
01:55What about the – what about the front?
01:58I'm all good.
01:59It seemed like us, Maja, had an increase in ball movement today.
02:01Can you just talk about the dynamic keeper?
02:03Yeah, I mean, he's just Mr. Reliable, and he has been my entire time here
02:09since he's been on our team.
02:12You can count on him to fall forward and give us an extra two.
02:15You can count on him to win against the linebacker in coverage.
02:21You know, he's such a valuable piece for us
02:24and, you know, certainly doesn't get enough credit for it.
02:27Why is he such a good fit for all the types of lines I'll call today?
02:30Why is he such a good fit for that?
02:31Yeah, downhill, downhill, and, you know,
02:36we count on him a lot in protection too on third down
02:38to go not just block linebackers, sometimes defensive linemen as well.
02:43And, you know, I feel really confident that if I get it to him in space
02:47on third down, he's going to go make it happen for us.
02:50He's just such a valuable piece for us.
02:52You got to be better.
02:57You got to be better.
02:58In what ways?
02:59Everywhere.
03:01Zach talked about closing out games.
03:03What specifically can you guys do to actually feel a little comfortable?
03:07Yeah, obviously you'd like to score a touchdown there
03:08when you get it at the 10-yard line to close it out.
03:12You know, we let him back in it and, you know,
03:16made it a really came down to an onside kick.
03:19You don't want to be in that spot.
03:21That's not a spot that, you know, you should give one up,
03:26but you never know what happens in that spot, you know?
03:28You obviously want this team to be better.
03:31How much confidence do you have after five games that they'll reach your goal
03:36and that will be better?
03:37Yeah, we'll be better.
03:37We'll be better.
03:38You talked about balance on Wednesday.
03:40I know it was a 50-50 today, but was this pretty close to an ideal balance?
03:44Yeah, I haven't seen, you know, the stats or the play breakdowns,
03:49but it certainly felt like, you know, when we ran it,
03:52we were getting four, five, six yards and putting us in third and manageable
03:55and, you know, a lot of times converting on that second down.
03:59So, on first glance, I think so.
04:03What will it take to kind of clean up some of the errors
04:05and kind of the things you do that are what it's going to take
04:07to kind of get y'all the word you want us to look like by the end of the year?
04:10Yeah, we've got to be smarter.
04:11We've got to be smarter.
04:12You know, two fumbles in the red zone,
04:15a couple personal fouls that, you know, hurt us, hurt our field position,
04:20gave them points on the board.
04:23Yeah, we've got to be smarter.
04:24The third down touchdown pass is like Secchi and Sinai.
04:28It seems like you like the coverage match up there.
04:31Yeah, that's, you know, the first play was a great,
04:33the first touchdown was a great call.
04:36You know, Riscotti works really hard on those red zone plans
04:39and that was one drawing for that coverage, so that was a great beater.
04:44And, yeah, the second one, Somosli, you know, just went in one on a choice route.
04:49And the way that they were playing, that was really the look that we wanted.
04:54How hot was it?
04:56I don't know.
04:56I'm sure you can check the weather report, man.
04:59Is that as hot as you can?
05:01Yeah, I mean, it was hot out there, but once, you know, you're in the helmet,
05:05so it doesn't, when your helmet's on, it's not too bad.
05:10And, you know, we had the shaders and the misters and everything,
05:13so, you know, they take care of us out there.
05:15What's the bye week that they'll look like for you?
05:17Yeah, we'll see.
05:17I don't know.
05:18I don't know.
05:19It's so early, you know, I want to maintain my conditioning,
05:22my strength and conditioning, and, you know, certainly I want to keep throwing,
05:25so I'm going to try to find a plan.
05:27This is uncharted territory for me, having them up by this early, so we'll see.
