00:00 Break them. Yeah, I feel I could have bring in some plays left out there on the field
00:03 But it's just a learning thing like we while we I just think that we just come back and feed off this loss
00:09 and just keep executing and just
00:11 Play the next game
00:14 Coach Allen said you're cramping up a little bit. Just how are you feeling after the game?
00:17 I feel like after after this game, uh, I'm feeling I'm feeling straight
00:21 Cramping really don't mean none. I hydrated well before the game. It's just just gotta hydrate way more
00:29 He said he said you're definitely gonna be a weapon. Yes, sir. I shall teach you feel that way yourself
00:34 Do you have that kind of mindset? I still got that mindset. I'm confident every time I touch the ball
00:39 I'm gonna make something happen on special teams. That's the key part to the game, but I'm just gonna have a winning mentality here
00:46 Obviously not the offensive output you guys wanted today. What do you guys think?
00:51 What do you think you needed to do better as a team just do the other business?
00:55 I feel that we just need to start fast
00:58 Just make less mistakes and excuse how we need to execute
01:04 Using the two quarterbacks today you guys knew that obviously going in there you could play both of them
01:14 I'm just how you think both of them did today. I think both of them did well, uh, it just made little mistakes
01:19 but
01:21 We can just stick to what we have
01:24 Do you think that's gonna be like the theme guys are taking from this game is that you guys weren't that far behind this whole game
01:30 You think just some little mistakes cut kill you guys early on
01:33 Especially the ones on special team
01:37 Tom said you guys are probably a little more conservative than you'd had planned for and you know
01:41 Don't want to be that concerned
01:42 You feel like guys kind of were held back just by situational kind of how the game unfolded offensively
01:48 Yes, I felt like we was held back and I get no runs that we want to get but
01:53 thing we just go in and watch film with holes we had and just
01:57 Have a little setback and just come back on next week
02:02 How are you kind of trying to support the quarterbacks? I mean, they're gonna be rotating again next week
02:07 He said, you know
02:08 How do you kind of help to try to get them through this as they kind of go back and forth a little bit?
02:11 I'm just telling them to be confident each and every day just come and just do your role
02:17 Just make this this team as best that we can be
02:22 Obviously we saw it there you guys were running a little bit of triple option there in the first half
02:26 Those pitches do you enjoy being part of that kind of run game?
02:29 Yeah, I definitely love being a part of that just uh getting open out to the edge
02:33 I feel like that's a big factor to my skill set and
02:36 It's gonna work. It's gonna work. It just takes time and preparation
02:41 Coach was saying that as you know, this is a disappointing game. It's still a building block. Would you agree?
02:46 Yeah, it's still a building block. I feel like our state and
02:50 What I expected I felt like I expected way more from him, but I say that we we have
02:56 In the first half. I feel like we should have came back and like finish more
03:00 That's really what it was just learning how to finish it. Just keep prepping
03:04 Do you think there's a certain aspect of the offense that is hindering you guys at this point from finishing those plays?
03:12 Um, not really man. I feel like we got everything that we need. We just need to find the gel of the team
03:19 It's just the first game man. Like we don't come back hard. So just mainly execution based. Yeah
03:25 Do you feel like that?
03:27 Like it's obviously never want to have any game where you don't execute on the little things
03:31 But you just maybe a week or so you guys think like hey at least we got all that game where we're having all these
03:36 Little mistakes out in the week one step way and progress, right? We just need to let things progress and uh,
03:40 Feel man. We ain't do too bad. It's just
03:43 We just gotta make please
03:46 It's hard not to put pressure on yourself. We all score touchdowns for next week
03:50 I mean you have to fight that mindset with the guys and I went about
03:52 Always scoring like that's not my thing. I just won't be the best teammate I can be and just provide a one-day cheer
04:00 How do you feel you would grade yourself with the punt returns? Obviously first time doing it
04:04 I'll grade myself B, but I expect myself a little bit more man. I
04:09 Yeah, and just overall do you fit? What do you feel like kind of your takeaway from your own game from today?
04:16 Just taking each play play by playing just learn how to finish every time I touch the ball
04:20 Feel like you struggled in that area. How do you didn't finish? What do you mean?
04:25 Like hitting the right hole or how do you what do you kind of hit the right hole?
04:28 I just feel like I need a little more. Yeah
