any of that stuff. Like I got a job to
do too. I got to finish this out the right
way with our team and stuff tomorrow. So any of
that stuff I'll answer late in the week for you guys.

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Besides thatch go ahead down.

Speaker 1 (00:50):
Cause we were down two scores.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
What happened with one day.

Speaker 1 (00:58):
I'm not sure, man. There he was competing. I know,
Juwan blocks to the whistle every single play, uh, I know,
usually get ejected for throwing a punch or something. I
didn't see one. They didn't tell me that he threw
a punch. So someone we're gonna have to find out
he was animated. Discussion with you before you let him
feel and just saying that what was he saying? Uh,
it wasn't animated. It was just I was asking him

(01:20):
if he ever threw a punch, and he was adamant
that he didn't. I was like, that's what I saw,
So I was just surprised he got ejected. No, no,
did you right right away from familiar over then?

Speaker 2 (01:34):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:34):
Yeah, it was tough. I mean, especially when you go
out on a cart, you know. I mean I think
that messed with everyone a little bit. But we're still
holding out hope that it's good news or good news
is in comparison to going off on a cart and
everything hoping it's not a cl uh that Patrick stepped
it up and ran really well today and played really good.
How How did you Prostice falling into the bar A

(01:55):
short expectation. I mean, we've been processing us a processing it,
you know, so we've been trying to get there. You know,
you don't really accept that you're not gonna get there
til you get eliminated from the playoffs. So we've got
to deal with this for the last three weeks. So
we've been processing it. Ready to finish this up, trying
to finish it with a win. Didn't get that done today,
but excited to get to this offseason and figure out

(02:16):
how to not be in the situation again. You got
to be about give a reception to take mot Is
there something about this game that kind of part on
your own? You know, I thought we started off putting
in tough situations with the turnover, with the fake punt,
the miss field goal, but then by the second half,
you know, it looked like they wore us down and

(02:37):
got it going and we couldn't get 'em off the field.
Kind of the forty cute teacher again today. Is there
anything you see that brings to all these the states together? No,
I mean I haven't been a part of too many
games that's twelve to zero, and I think they got
one there when they had twelve guys on the field
at the end. And we'll look into all of 'em,
but I didn't see any common thing. What was your part?

(02:58):
Just play George for the book. Ah, yeah, we're gonna
see how the game went, and we knew we were
gonna play him all of it, and he ended a
brest them so much that we don't wanna put him
there in the second half.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Anything Dobbs did.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I thought Dobbs did a really good job, you know,
minus the turnovers. You know, you know, I take out
those turnovers, and I think he had a hell of
a game.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
Did you think of the way Ricky finished and see
the bes.

Speaker 1 (03:22):
S trying to get better each week? Uh? I thought it.
I'll see when I got on the plane exactly how
he did well this did this game. But think Ricky
just especially what he went through before the year started,
talking before his gun shot and then getting the gun shot,
coming back and just being able to have a rookie
season where he did help us out, got a chance
to play almost half the year, and got better as
it went. So I'll throw proud of rookies year.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Did you have.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
Player?

Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yeah, and you already have tied your your list of
goals or what you wanna see from them in the offseason.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
How do you approach that the guys you need? But no,
I just talked to him. See what they wanna say
to me. I'll tell him how I felt about them.
It's not something that you sit and plan out. You've
been working to finish this season up and you give
the guys a chance to talk tomorrow. But I mean
when you sit and you talk to a hundred people
in one day, I also don't plan on that being

(04:13):
the final deal. You know. There's lots of conversisations that
have to be made and a lot of people I
got to talk to, and I'm not going to get
that all done tomorrow, which is why glad we have
cell phones and glad we can communicate with each other.
I guess it all right, all right, guys, Thanks
