00:00 It's been a tough couple of weeks.
00:01 It's been a tough couple of weeks, that's for sure.
00:04 We're gonna get through it.
00:05 We're gonna get through it.
00:05 We got tough, resilient guys in there.
00:07 We got mentally tough guys that have been through a lot.
00:10 So we know how to handle these situations.
00:12 It's tough right now, but we're gonna get through it.
00:15 - With this being such a unique experience,
00:16 is there something you maybe lean on the most
00:18 in something you've dealt with in the past
00:19 that's kind of helped you kind of
00:20 as you're trying to figure things out
00:21 and battle through it,
00:22 that you're in the middle of the season?
00:23 - Yeah, we've all been through adversity,
00:25 whether it's wins and losses, whether it's injuries,
00:27 whether it's mental health, all that.
00:29 So I'm very confident in our ability to fight through this
00:34 and get through this and become a winning football team.
00:37 - What's the hardest thing?
00:38 Is it winning?
00:39 Is it that simple?
00:39 Curing, getting through?
00:41 - It's all it is.
00:42 - You're talking about deep throws.
00:43 The one to Boyd, do you feel good
00:44 just about that throw and the whole play-by-play?
00:47 - Yeah, I felt good about where I put that.
00:48 We just weren't quite able to connect on that one.
00:51 Those are the things that we have to connect on.
00:55 Those opportunities we haven't quite taken advantage of
00:58 all year, which is, some on me, some on them.
01:01 It's a lot of blame to go around.
01:03 So that's one we got to capitalize on.
01:06 - You're the leader of this team,
01:07 but was there any point after Sunday
01:10 did you talk to the guys at all
01:12 for how did you handle that as a leader
01:15 in the situation with the team?
01:18 - You always got something to say,
01:20 especially after a situation like that.
01:21 Obviously I'll keep that between us,
01:23 keep that in the locker room,
01:24 but we put it to bed.
01:29 - Joe, is part of your thinking right now,
01:31 we can find a way to win the next two games
01:34 and get to the bye.
01:35 My cap has a chance to significantly recover.
01:38 - We're just focused on winning this week.
01:39 We got to be one and oh this week.
01:41 We'll worry about next week when it comes.
01:42 We'll worry about the bye week when it comes.
01:44 I'm laser focused on the day-to-day process right now.
01:46 Getting better.
01:47 - Does it feel like a must win game
01:50 to you guys in the locker room?
