Speaker 1 (00:05):
Welcome to this postgame edition of the From the Podium podcast.
I'm Gabe Kolera. The Browns fell in London to the
Minnesota Vikings today by a score of twenty one to seventeen.
On this episode, you'll hear from head coach Kevin Stefanski,
quarterback Dylan Gabriel, and defensive end Miles Garrett. We start
with head coach Kevin Stefanski, who gave his thoughts on
the loss.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Just we need to do a better job closing out
and that's an offensive thing, defense, special teams, coaches, players.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
You name it.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
We got to come away and be at our best
in those moments and we were not. And that's the disappointing,
frustrating part for me. But we'll keep grinding. We'll get
back and get back to work and that's what we
got to do.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Take that.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Any questions, Kevin, sure about just the sort of the
offense to drop on the fourth quarter of.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Your junior Yeah, just felt a little didn't get into
very many advantageous down in dis stances, ended up in
two may, third and longs there penalties.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
We just have to be better.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
J H.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Have to score some points.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Would you do anything differently on the next to the
last drive when you ran three plays over held in seconds?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, I mean we ran it twice. They called their timeouts. Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Felt decent about the past. Uh obviously got an incomplete there.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I mean to answer your question, Tony, whenever you don't
come through uh in a drive, you you always think
about doing something different.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes, was that a throw away up there or down?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
If something's out.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
There or since brand? Yeah, I gotta see it. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
And was there anybody using the pullback Huntington on that
drive or open some poles?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We're always talking about different personnel groups.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
What would you assess on Dylan Gabriel's first start to
performance overall?
Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, again, probably premature to uh uh grade and those
type of things. There were some good things, some rookie
things to certainly clean up.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Late in the second quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You guys were in the red zone.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Yeah, we didn't see when John Junkins out there during
that time. Is that as a rookie you trust Roll
for it a little bit more in that role or
something else as he kind of carried your offense.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It's a little bit of both. I mean, we certainly
trust Jerome in some of those moments and as well
as we do, que You know, I always mindful of
the the load that you have Q going.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Your defense has come through for you consistently time and
time and time again.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Like you said, there's often speaking a special teams. But
were you how disappointed that the defense was alcoa able
to oppose it time?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Just disappointed for the team, Mary kay.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We we'd expect our guys to go do their job again,
all of us, uh collectively players, coaches, uh, and and
we just didn't come through in that moment.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
What happened to herself? High or Yeah, I'd have to
we'd have to talk through it first.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Kevin, were you using your time offs of the end
to give your pfense rest or?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It potentially, uh you know, if the if they score there,
if they tick a field goal there, just to give
you time on the other side.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
About the uh, I mean, did you guys feel you
went into the game hoping to really exploit uh cursion
Wiz's turnover of rely?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Were you disappointed that we were able to do well
more from that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I mean we got two takeaways, certainly, I I I
know there's a bunch of things that we feel like
we can do better a Mary Kay.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Kind of that last third down three minutes? Did you
consider rhyme used to make the user last time? How
or did you think that you had on there?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean you factor all those things in Zach
we on all downs, you consider uh what to do there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But uh, ultimately we.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know, we expect listen, we gotta come through bottom
line and that done and distance and in that situation
those sets of sticks and we did not.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
You talked about penalty being issued ten penalties today over
seventy yards. Is there anything that you could win to
Cam Robinson coming in the travel over here? Is there
anything specifically.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You think could No?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, no, we uh we just we have to be cleaner.
I I didn't get a look at some of the
post snap ones. Uh you know, and they were crossly.
There were some plays, uh those were yards that came back.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Was that always party you played boot Can in third draft? Yes?
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Just did the credit back you can just performance.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, well he's work. We'll get him up to speed.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
And uh John Jefferson typical game. You see that kind
of game from him before?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Justin Jefferson, Uh, yeah, I'm sorry Uh, great player. Uh
w we you know you know how talented he is.
But w we feel like we we have to do
a better job.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
How about what can you say about uh Carson when
you play back us quarterback where they can't give.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
The Yeah, uh obviously you know, uh you give credit
to to the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Give credit where credits do they? They they won the game.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
W we are disappointed that we didn't do the things
uh necessary to win that game, but you gotta give
them credit.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Good to something earlier in the four forty which you
could have learned it from your would just see.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Him on the run. There issues.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I wished one more times there on which point did
I think you might three three on three times?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I mean, is there something done differently where they just
so you had to lead and when.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You're else to go about?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, well, uh we we just any which way. I
don't care if you run it or pass it. We
have to be better.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Up next quarterback Dylan Gabriel, who made his first career
NFL start today.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
What una happened to the offense in the fourth quarter.
It seems like the success you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Did earlier is coming to a pirt wall gid it.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Just gotta convert, and you know, you look back, there's
obvious times you gotta go make it happen. Starts with me, Uh,
but us coming together collectively to go go make that happen.
But you know you look at a lot of the
third downs, uh to extend drives. Uh, that's where we
can continue to, you know, help ourselves.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
What did you learn from your first NFL strap? Yere
make take it?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You know, I think I learned little details.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Uh definitely was ready for that, but all the details
come come down to it, you know. And I think
in any game, you're gonna want forty five plays back.
Of course a result will feel different, and maybe your
forty five plays uh may feel different, but you know
that's the that's the game we live in and playing.
So UH got to be better in those four four
(06:18):
to five plays is what and why you continue to
work as hard as you.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
So there are a number of fair or fourth throws
where it looks like you underseive we're not on the
same page.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
Those missing It wasn't. It wasn't not on the same page.
That's that's me on my end, trying to be smart
in certain situations.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
And you know, we get.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Cloud and and get want to make an answer there.
Being smart in certain situations throwing the ball away and
I I think maybe a throw like that may look
like a miscommunication. But also on the same side, being
smart understanding the situation that we are in. You know,
what's what's more important trying to fit something in there?
(06:55):
You know, uh, getting to play another play, what could.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Have been about differently on the next four draw three.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Plays and all those seconds and the clown about twice.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Yeah, yeah, in those situations, right you uh, you know,
you gotta go get it first, and after two plays
eleven seconds they're gonna call it two timeouts and then
we throw the ball.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So the clock stop.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
So that's why if you look at it any time,
you know, you don't get tackled and balance it's or
complete the ball, you're gonna have an.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Eleven second drive.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
But in a perfect world, you go get it on
third and the clock's whining and they only have one
more time out. But like I said, that's just a situation.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
They use their time outs. That's why it was eleven seconds.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The second time.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
We're one conservative about twelve things work, you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Know, understanding the situation, you wanna keep the clock moving,
use timeouts. In a perfect world, you know, we'd probably
be talking differently if we go get that first all
of a sudden, it's.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
A great call. So that's that's the world we live in.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
That's the balance and you teeter, but you gotta trust
what we do, and that's what we do as a team.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We trustfully, uh get called.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Uh, we try to run into the best of our
ability and then we keep moving forward.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
The way that Quinn Chung ran and the way that
you connected with data keep times, do you feel like, uh,
now that you had this first one under your belt,
that something to build on and and what your exports
to you guys out with you at the help.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Yeah, I think there's always something to build on. No
moral victories whatsoever. But uh, I think regardless of result
week to week, uh, there's a process and uh, more
time you spend around anyone, you're you're gonna get more continuity.
And that's you know, keep the receiver, it's qubit to
running back. That's us as a whole unit coming together
(08:41):
really and getting comfortable with uh, you know, our our unit.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
What would you respect on the final player you get
sideline is appointing at a time.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Yeah, our you know, our thought process is seven seconds
try and kicks the ball, get a chunk, get out
of bounce, have a closer chance at doing it. And
you saw the hell Marry prior to the time m
out just a probably don't love your odds there obviously,
but uh, anytime you can get it closer, that's what
our our thought was. Uh, whether it's our kind of
(09:11):
our DV or that that overall got it. Shoot, it's
like I said, you l you live in those moments
in a perfect world, you want to get out of bounce,
but that's not that's not Shoot. He's trying his butt
off to get out of bounce, you know, and just
trying to understand that.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
And he gated a couple of big ms.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Frustrating.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Is that any kind of that.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
During the week?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
You know, I think playing penalties is one thing, and
you're gonna want him back. Like I said, everyone's got
four or five plays, they're gonna want them back. That's
just the the name of the game. But you know,
how do you regroup and how do you get forward?
I think any negative plays that's penalties, sacks, whatever it
may be, it don't help you in a series, you know,
(09:58):
and uh if if you can convert in those situations
and your loving life, but you wanna stay out of
the sticks. You wanna get into thirty manageables and and convert.
But yeah, you look back, there's things we can all
clean up and it starts with me and you should
this hold.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Your art a couple of times. Uh, you know, take
away as staffs and things like that. Uh, how how
do you feel about how the decon's played but unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Not able to come through it?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
I think we continue to, you know, ride on our guys.
They're they're they've been playing their butt off, you know.
And I think, y, you look at a whole work
of over five weeks, you know, I think it's hard
to just look at one game like nobody's perfect.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It ain't gonna be a perfect world.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
And we could have been in a better position to
go convert on that third and all of a sudden,
like Tony was saying, it's a different outcome and a
different feeling.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But that's where we can help them out.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
We this is a team deal and it ain't on
one person on everybody. But the truth is the result
was the result We gotta find a way to change that.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
So that's two more second set over a hundred Yark's
could be close to two hunder about pens h W,
what did you bring to your game?
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean anytime you can establish a run, there's
there's confidence in that. And and I'm harping on and said,
maybe saying it too much, but when you run the
ball effectively, it sets up a lot of things. You
can kind of have everything at your disposal when you
are in and manageable down in distances, and obviously it
sets a lot of things up, you know, and he
(11:29):
played his butt off.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
He's a guy we rely on.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Uh I think the world of him, and he's a
guy who's a workhorse, and uh I don't see that changing.
But I think collectively is a if they've done it,
really vote just a good job of protecting and running
the football effectively.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Where you guys go from here at one and four
going back home hating the pisspo, you know, where can
you go from here?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Or gotta get back to work. You know, there's uh
a lot to improve on. But I think in moments
like these, you find true competitors, You find people that
wanna be here. You know, anyone can be really good,
rad and high and I what I know about our
guys is we continue to work hard and continue to grind.
But four to five players could be the difference, and
(12:09):
the difference is truly uh what we'll be attacking.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
So dyln uh we saw what looked like a couple
of zone weeks today. How did you feel about making
those decisions at an NFL level and the speed of
the defense in those plays?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Yeah, I think it's it's part of it. You wanna
uh be able to extend uh. I think, you know,
having mobility, whether it's ad living and being able to go,
you know, move outside the pocket is huge and then
having the threat of that as well. You know, we
run the ball effectively and we do it in different ways.
But I think as you continue to design, uh, you
wanna have really everything that your disposal.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So did you feel all one more? One more for Tony?
One more, guys, I'll go one more for Tony.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Did you feel at one handcuff going down for your more?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Is that the game by not necessarily And I think
you you wanna be aggressive, but you wanna smart as well,
you know, and and understanding what we're doing offensively. You know,
there's there's things that you know, some people take debaate
and then you know there's there's times you can be
really effective by taking what's there. And I think, I
(13:16):
don't want to say it's a balance, but it is balance.
As a quarterback, you know, you you got to be smart,
aggressive when it's your time to take shots, when it's
your time to go get five and live another down.
So that's a balance that I'll continue to teeter. And
you always try to push the issue and be aggressive,
but at the same time, uh, you know, you don't
(13:36):
go broke taking enough profits.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So thank you finally defensive end Miles Garrett just.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Got to close it out. I mean, the frustration does
the matter, and the result does. So we got to
be better.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
What did they do on offense?
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Not a lot of offensive alongo to still be successful
against you guys.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
I mean that a great trip plane now, I think
they were. I mean, especially in the second half. They
were tripping on both both sides, so I think it
made it difficult to uh, you know, get there and
then it it takes a lot to you know, battle
through too, and and they made sure at least try
to make sure to get the ball out quickly. And Carson,
you know athletic mobile and know he he has an arm.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No shout out to him as well. I mean the
the office line held up.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Really.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Uh can you talk about the way Carson came or
left the game with a shoulder injury, came back in
the third quarter in camp, played lights out the second Africa.
He used to talk about how he did.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I mean he did well enough to win.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
What do you put did you see from Dylan Gabrielle
when this first started helping you put themselves? And is
there kind of telling teams?
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Did you guys really end up twitter gred M.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
I mean he look like usually does you know composed,
you know, making the place that uh you know we
know he can make and and uh now you put it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
In position to win. Now we gotta we gotta help
ourselves out. Yes, all because it's ended.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
You guys came up with two takeaways you wanted to
turn on about all? Is it even more disappointing to
be able to go out there and get the three sacks,
get the takeaways and then not get the shut down?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
N N.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
We don't think about it like that. You don't think
about it. You know, if you get tacks or if
you get takeaways, you know, at the end of the day,
you gotta you gotta go out and get the win
and then not holding them to you know, less points
than you and you got. And that's not guaranteed with tacks,
it's not guarantee with takeaways or anything else. So you
you gotta show up when when you need it. That's
(15:41):
all of us.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Was there a point when you was the confidence that
you would win the game? Cause it looked for a
long time that you would that you would win, but
the last couple of minutes or was it still up until.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The end that you can turn in the round.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
There's never gonna be a a time where you don't
feel like you can win as a professional athlete, you know,
you all you go out there and expecting to win
until only coloct reach zero.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Was there any time on the field where you felt
the impact of the travel of the schedule from this week?
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Uh, probably about half time, feel a little tired, But
I mean that's what they're feeling as well. I know
that's just part of international games. And you know something
that you know some of us are new to and
you just gotta be able to take care of your
body and be prepared. So now, I I don't think
it's anything out of the ordinary, and I think I
think we all responded well in the second half.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We just got a execute a little bit better.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Well, is it the quarterback change? Brings used to be
that you do last school instus.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Uh, I think so, you know, just something different, no
different flavor and uh, you know appreciate you know Joe
for you know, having his back, supporting him help, uh,
you know, coaching him through know this transition.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, he will be he'll we vittle throughout this process.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
No, regardless of poop, No whoever we end up with,
you know, throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, they got to lean on each other. One and
four is not what you do. You leave here with
a love of confidence. You guys can something this season.
Always confident that you can. You can bring it back. No,
you don't.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
You don't know look too far ahead or look behind.
You just got to look at the next opponent and
figure out how you can win that one.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That'll do it.

back and get back to work and that's what we
got to do.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Take that.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
Any questions, Kevin, sure about just the sort of the
offense to drop on the fourth quarter of.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Your junior Yeah, just felt a little didn't get into
very many advantageous down in dis stances, ended up in
two may, third and longs there penalties.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
We just have to be better.
Speaker 5 (01:05):
J H.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
Have to score some points.
Speaker 6 (01:07):
Would you do anything differently on the next to the
last drive when you ran three plays over held in seconds?
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Yeah, I mean we ran it twice. They called their timeouts. Uh.
Speaker 2 (01:15):

Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
I mean to answer your question, Tony, whenever you don't
come through uh in a drive, you you always think
about doing something different.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
Yes, was that a throw away up there or down?
Speaker 5 (01:28):
If something's out.
Speaker 3 (01:29):
There or since brand? Yeah, I gotta see it. I'm
not sure.
Speaker 6 (01:33):
And was there anybody using the pullback Huntington on that
drive or open some poles?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (01:39):
We're always talking about different personnel groups.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
What would you assess on Dylan Gabriel's first start to

Speaker 2 (01:46):
Yeah, again, probably premature to uh uh grade and those
type of things. There were some good things, some rookie
things to certainly clean up.
Speaker 7 (01:57):
Late in the second quarter.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
You guys were in the red zone.
Speaker 7 (01:59):
Yeah, we didn't see when John Junkins out there during
that time. Is that as a rookie you trust Roll
for it a little bit more in that role or
something else as he kind of carried your offense.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
It's a little bit of both. I mean, we certainly
trust Jerome in some of those moments and as well
as we do, que You know, I always mindful of
the the load that you have Q going.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
Your defense has come through for you consistently time and
time and time again.
Speaker 6 (02:25):
Uh.
Speaker 4 (02:26):
Like you said, there's often speaking a special teams. But
were you how disappointed that the defense was alcoa able
to oppose it time?
Speaker 5 (02:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Just disappointed for the team, Mary kay.
Speaker 6 (02:33):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
We we'd expect our guys to go do their job again,
all of us, uh collectively players, coaches, uh, and and
we just didn't come through in that moment.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
What happened to herself? High or Yeah, I'd have to
we'd have to talk through it first.
Speaker 6 (02:47):
Kevin, were you using your time offs of the end
to give your pfense rest or?
Speaker 3 (02:51):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
It potentially, uh you know, if the if they score there,
if they tick a field goal there, just to give
you time on the other side.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
About the uh, I mean, did you guys feel you
went into the game hoping to really exploit uh cursion
Wiz's turnover of rely?
Speaker 3 (03:12):
Were you disappointed that we were able to do well
more from that? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
I mean we got two takeaways, certainly, I I I
know there's a bunch of things that we feel like
we can do better a Mary Kay.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Kind of that last third down three minutes? Did you
consider rhyme used to make the user last time? How
or did you think that you had on there?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Yeah, I mean you factor all those things in Zach
we on all downs, you consider uh what to do there?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
But uh, ultimately we.
Speaker 2 (03:37):
You know, we expect listen, we gotta come through bottom
line and that done and distance and in that situation
those sets of sticks and we did not.
Speaker 7 (03:45):
You talked about penalty being issued ten penalties today over
seventy yards. Is there anything that you could win to
Cam Robinson coming in the travel over here? Is there
anything specifically.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
You think could No?
Speaker 2 (03:57):
Yeah, no, we uh we just we have to be cleaner.
I I didn't get a look at some of the
post snap ones. Uh you know, and they were crossly.
There were some plays, uh those were yards that came back.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Was that always party you played boot Can in third draft? Yes?
Speaker 7 (04:11):
Just did the credit back you can just performance.
Speaker 3 (04:13):
Yeah, well he's work. We'll get him up to speed.
Speaker 6 (04:17):
And uh John Jefferson typical game. You see that kind
of game from him before?
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Justin Jefferson, Uh, yeah, I'm sorry Uh, great player. Uh
w we you know you know how talented he is.
But w we feel like we we have to do
a better job.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
How about what can you say about uh Carson when
you play back us quarterback where they can't give.
Speaker 2 (04:40):
The Yeah, uh obviously you know, uh you give credit
to to the Vikings.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Give credit where credits do they? They they won the game.
Speaker 2 (04:46):
W we are disappointed that we didn't do the things
uh necessary to win that game, but you gotta give
them credit.
Speaker 6 (04:52):
Good to something earlier in the four forty which you
could have learned it from your would just see.
Speaker 5 (04:56):
Him on the run. There issues.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I wished one more times there on which point did
I think you might three three on three times?
Speaker 7 (05:03):
I mean, is there something done differently where they just
so you had to lead and when.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
You're else to go about?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
Yeah, well, uh we we just any which way. I
don't care if you run it or pass it. We
have to be better.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Up next quarterback Dylan Gabriel, who made his first career
NFL start today.
Speaker 6 (05:18):
What una happened to the offense in the fourth quarter.
It seems like the success you.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Did earlier is coming to a pirt wall gid it.
Speaker 5 (05:26):
Yeah, I think.
Speaker 8 (05:28):
Just gotta convert, and you know, you look back, there's
obvious times you gotta go make it happen. Starts with me, Uh,
but us coming together collectively to go go make that happen.
But you know you look at a lot of the
third downs, uh to extend drives. Uh, that's where we
can continue to, you know, help ourselves.
Speaker 4 (05:47):
What did you learn from your first NFL strap? Yere
make take it?
Speaker 5 (05:54):
You know, I think I learned little details.
Speaker 8 (05:56):
Uh definitely was ready for that, but all the details
come come down to it, you know. And I think
in any game, you're gonna want forty five plays back.
Of course a result will feel different, and maybe your
forty five plays uh may feel different, but you know
that's the that's the game we live in and playing.
So UH got to be better in those four four
(06:18):
to five plays is what and why you continue to
work as hard as you.
Speaker 7 (06:22):
So there are a number of fair or fourth throws
where it looks like you underseive we're not on the
same page.
Speaker 8 (06:27):
Those missing It wasn't. It wasn't not on the same page.
That's that's me on my end, trying to be smart
in certain situations.
Speaker 5 (06:33):
And you know, we get.
Speaker 8 (06:34):
Cloud and and get want to make an answer there.
Being smart in certain situations throwing the ball away and
I I think maybe a throw like that may look
like a miscommunication. But also on the same side, being
smart understanding the situation that we are in. You know,
what's what's more important trying to fit something in there?
(06:55):
You know, uh, getting to play another play, what could.
Speaker 3 (06:58):
Have been about differently on the next four draw three.
Speaker 6 (07:01):
Plays and all those seconds and the clown about twice.
Speaker 8 (07:04):
Yeah, yeah, in those situations, right you uh, you know,
you gotta go get it first, and after two plays
eleven seconds they're gonna call it two timeouts and then
we throw the ball.
Speaker 5 (07:15):
So the clock stop.
Speaker 8 (07:16):
So that's why if you look at it any time,
you know, you don't get tackled and balance it's or
complete the ball, you're gonna have an.
Speaker 5 (07:23):
Eleven second drive.
Speaker 8 (07:24):
But in a perfect world, you go get it on
third and the clock's whining and they only have one
more time out. But like I said, that's just a situation.
Speaker 5 (07:33):
They use their time outs. That's why it was eleven seconds.
Speaker 3 (07:35):
The second time.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
We're one conservative about twelve things work, you.
Speaker 8 (07:39):
Know, understanding the situation, you wanna keep the clock moving,
use timeouts. In a perfect world, you know, we'd probably
be talking differently if we go get that first all
of a sudden, it's.
Speaker 5 (07:51):
A great call. So that's that's the world we live in.
Speaker 8 (07:53):
That's the balance and you teeter, but you gotta trust
what we do, and that's what we do as a team.
Speaker 5 (08:00):
We trustfully, uh get called.
Speaker 8 (08:03):
Uh, we try to run into the best of our
ability and then we keep moving forward.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
The way that Quinn Chung ran and the way that
you connected with data keep times, do you feel like, uh,
now that you had this first one under your belt,
that something to build on and and what your exports
to you guys out with you at the help.
Speaker 8 (08:20):
Yeah, I think there's always something to build on. No
moral victories whatsoever. But uh, I think regardless of result
week to week, uh, there's a process and uh, more
time you spend around anyone, you're you're gonna get more continuity.
And that's you know, keep the receiver, it's qubit to
running back. That's us as a whole unit coming together
(08:41):
really and getting comfortable with uh, you know, our our unit.
Speaker 6 (08:44):
What would you respect on the final player you get
sideline is appointing at a time.
Speaker 8 (08:49):
Yeah, our you know, our thought process is seven seconds
try and kicks the ball, get a chunk, get out
of bounce, have a closer chance at doing it. And
you saw the hell Marry prior to the time m
out just a probably don't love your odds there obviously,
but uh, anytime you can get it closer, that's what
our our thought was. Uh, whether it's our kind of
(09:11):
our DV or that that overall got it. Shoot, it's
like I said, you l you live in those moments
in a perfect world, you want to get out of bounce,
but that's not that's not Shoot. He's trying his butt
off to get out of bounce, you know, and just
trying to understand that.
Speaker 9 (09:29):
And he gated a couple of big ms.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
Frustrating.
Speaker 5 (09:32):
Is that any kind of that.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
During the week?
Speaker 8 (09:37):
You know, I think playing penalties is one thing, and
you're gonna want him back. Like I said, everyone's got
four or five plays, they're gonna want them back. That's
just the the name of the game. But you know,
how do you regroup and how do you get forward?
I think any negative plays that's penalties, sacks, whatever it
may be, it don't help you in a series, you know,
(09:58):
and uh if if you can convert in those situations
and your loving life, but you wanna stay out of
the sticks. You wanna get into thirty manageables and and convert.
But yeah, you look back, there's things we can all
clean up and it starts with me and you should
this hold.
Speaker 4 (10:13):
Your art a couple of times. Uh, you know, take
away as staffs and things like that. Uh, how how
do you feel about how the decon's played but unfortunately.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Not able to come through it?
Speaker 5 (10:24):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (10:24):
I think we continue to, you know, ride on our guys.
They're they're they've been playing their butt off, you know.
And I think, y, you look at a whole work
of over five weeks, you know, I think it's hard
to just look at one game like nobody's perfect.
Speaker 5 (10:40):
It ain't gonna be a perfect world.
Speaker 8 (10:42):
And we could have been in a better position to
go convert on that third and all of a sudden,
like Tony was saying, it's a different outcome and a
different feeling.
Speaker 5 (10:49):
But that's where we can help them out.
Speaker 8 (10:52):
We this is a team deal and it ain't on
one person on everybody. But the truth is the result
was the result We gotta find a way to change that.
Speaker 6 (10:59):
So that's two more second set over a hundred Yark's
could be close to two hunder about pens h W,
what did you bring to your game?
Speaker 8 (11:08):
Yeah, I mean anytime you can establish a run, there's
there's confidence in that. And and I'm harping on and said,
maybe saying it too much, but when you run the
ball effectively, it sets up a lot of things. You
can kind of have everything at your disposal when you
are in and manageable down in distances, and obviously it
sets a lot of things up, you know, and he
(11:29):
played his butt off.
Speaker 5 (11:29):
He's a guy we rely on.
Speaker 8 (11:31):
Uh I think the world of him, and he's a
guy who's a workhorse, and uh I don't see that changing.
But I think collectively is a if they've done it,
really vote just a good job of protecting and running
the football effectively.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Where you guys go from here at one and four
going back home hating the pisspo, you know, where can
you go from here?
Speaker 8 (11:49):
Or gotta get back to work. You know, there's uh
a lot to improve on. But I think in moments
like these, you find true competitors, You find people that
wanna be here. You know, anyone can be really good,
rad and high and I what I know about our
guys is we continue to work hard and continue to grind.
But four to five players could be the difference, and
(12:09):
the difference is truly uh what we'll be attacking.
Speaker 7 (12:12):
So dyln uh we saw what looked like a couple
of zone weeks today. How did you feel about making
those decisions at an NFL level and the speed of
the defense in those plays?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Yeah, I think it's it's part of it. You wanna
uh be able to extend uh. I think, you know,
having mobility, whether it's ad living and being able to go,
you know, move outside the pocket is huge and then
having the threat of that as well. You know, we
run the ball effectively and we do it in different ways.
But I think as you continue to design, uh, you
wanna have really everything that your disposal.
Speaker 5 (12:43):
So did you feel all one more? One more for Tony?
One more, guys, I'll go one more for Tony.
Speaker 3 (12:49):
Did you feel at one handcuff going down for your more?
Speaker 8 (12:52):
Is that the game by not necessarily And I think
you you wanna be aggressive, but you wanna smart as well,
you know, and and understanding what we're doing offensively. You know,
there's there's things that you know, some people take debaate
and then you know there's there's times you can be
really effective by taking what's there. And I think, I
(13:16):
don't want to say it's a balance, but it is balance.
As a quarterback, you know, you you got to be smart,
aggressive when it's your time to take shots, when it's
your time to go get five and live another down.
So that's a balance that I'll continue to teeter. And
you always try to push the issue and be aggressive,
but at the same time, uh, you know, you don't
(13:36):
go broke taking enough profits.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
So thank you finally defensive end Miles Garrett just.
Speaker 10 (13:43):
Got to close it out. I mean, the frustration does
the matter, and the result does. So we got to
be better.
Speaker 3 (13:49):
What did they do on offense?
Speaker 7 (13:51):
Not a lot of offensive alongo to still be successful
against you guys.
Speaker 10 (13:58):
I mean that a great trip plane now, I think
they were. I mean, especially in the second half. They
were tripping on both both sides, so I think it
made it difficult to uh, you know, get there and
then it it takes a lot to you know, battle
through too, and and they made sure at least try
to make sure to get the ball out quickly. And Carson,
you know athletic mobile and know he he has an arm.
Speaker 3 (14:21):
No shout out to him as well. I mean the
the office line held up.
Speaker 9 (14:25):
Really.
Speaker 4 (14:26):
Uh can you talk about the way Carson came or
left the game with a shoulder injury, came back in
the third quarter in camp, played lights out the second Africa.
He used to talk about how he did.
Speaker 3 (14:39):
I mean he did well enough to win.
Speaker 7 (14:43):
What do you put did you see from Dylan Gabrielle
when this first started helping you put themselves? And is
there kind of telling teams?
Speaker 8 (14:49):
Did you guys really end up twitter gred M.
Speaker 10 (14:53):
I mean he look like usually does you know composed,
you know, making the place that uh you know we
know he can make and and uh now you put it.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
In position to win. Now we gotta we gotta help
ourselves out. Yes, all because it's ended.
Speaker 4 (15:06):
You guys came up with two takeaways you wanted to
turn on about all? Is it even more disappointing to
be able to go out there and get the three sacks,
get the takeaways and then not get the shut down?
Speaker 3 (15:19):
N N.
Speaker 10 (15:20):
We don't think about it like that. You don't think
about it. You know, if you get tacks or if
you get takeaways, you know, at the end of the day,
you gotta you gotta go out and get the win
and then not holding them to you know, less points
than you and you got. And that's not guaranteed with tacks,
it's not guarantee with takeaways or anything else. So you
you gotta show up when when you need it. That's
(15:41):
all of us.
Speaker 9 (15:43):
Was there a point when you was the confidence that
you would win the game? Cause it looked for a
long time that you would that you would win, but
the last couple of minutes or was it still up until.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
The end that you can turn in the round.
Speaker 10 (15:57):
There's never gonna be a a time where you don't
feel like you can win as a professional athlete, you know,
you all you go out there and expecting to win
until only coloct reach zero.
Speaker 7 (16:06):
Was there any time on the field where you felt
the impact of the travel of the schedule from this week?
Speaker 10 (16:12):
Uh, probably about half time, feel a little tired, But
I mean that's what they're feeling as well. I know
that's just part of international games. And you know something
that you know some of us are new to and
you just gotta be able to take care of your
body and be prepared. So now, I I don't think
it's anything out of the ordinary, and I think I
think we all responded well in the second half.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
We just got a execute a little bit better.
Speaker 7 (16:35):
Well, is it the quarterback change? Brings used to be
that you do last school instus.
Speaker 10 (16:40):
Uh, I think so, you know, just something different, no
different flavor and uh, you know appreciate you know Joe
for you know, having his back, supporting him help, uh,
you know, coaching him through know this transition.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
No, he will be he'll we vittle throughout this process.
Speaker 10 (16:57):
No, regardless of poop, No whoever we end up with,
you know, throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 3 (17:02):
No, they got to lean on each other. One and
four is not what you do. You leave here with
a love of confidence. You guys can something this season.
Always confident that you can. You can bring it back. No,
you don't.
Speaker 10 (17:15):
You don't know look too far ahead or look behind.
You just got to look at the next opponent and
figure out how you can win that one.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
That'll do it.
