Speaker 1 (00:00):
Video. Guys ran a ton of double tight end sets today.
After all, I think it was only fourteen percent over
the first month of the season. What does that look
do for you guys offensively, because you certainly had a
good first half with the two touchdown catches.

Speaker 2 (00:12):
Yeah, I think that's a good change up, you know,
gives a defense something different to look at. I think
we can do a lot out of it. We have
all capable guys that can do everything that you ask,
so we can run out of it. We can all
catch out of it.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
You see.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
You know, me and Belly getting more active in the
past game, So it's it's tough to defend when you
got guys that can do it.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
We've talked about your chemistry with Jackson and obviously the
two touchdown catches a couple of nice throws, a couple
of nice grabs for you.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, I mean, that's my guy. We're going to keep
building that connection, we keep working together.

Speaker 1 (00:43):
You're one of the young guys on the team, he's
still a rookie. When you have some frustration and some
difficult moments like this during the course of a game,
how do you keep the spirits up?

Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, I mean it's it's the next play mentality. Everyone's
gonna make mistakes, and do you know how plays that
they wish they could get back. It's just the next
play mentality. Keep moving on. If you keep thinking about
the last play, you're not going to do the right
thing on the next play.

Speaker 1 (01:05):
I had asked you during the week about the sound
in the building. Was that much of an impact after
the Saints got the lead, because they did hit one
hundred decibels several times.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Did you repeat that.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
For me any more so? I had asked you during
the week about the sound in the building, and after
they got the lead they hit one hundred decibels a
number of times. It seemed as though it might have
been discombobulating. Was it at all?

Speaker 2 (01:25):
You know, it got loud in there. I think we
did a good job of handling it. We got to know,
hold our some off sides, but I think we handled
it well.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
My final question fourteen points in the first half. In
the second half, obviously the turnovers cost you a ton
of opportunities, but were there other things that you saw
in this offense that you would like to have gotten
better at in the second half to get the ball moving?

Speaker 2 (01:48):
I mean the name of the game is not turned
the ball over. We put the ball on the ground.
You turn the ball over and they don't have a turnover,
you're not going to win the game. So I think
that's that is for sure the most glaring thing that
we got to work on this week before Thursday.
