 forward when you let go of that ball that was over from you? I did. Obviously, when you were away, they're not going to show the replay. So we didn't get a chance to see it. I felt like it was going forward, but the rest is going to make a call. Personally, I wish I got the ball off a little quicker. I know it was a big third down in the game, and we're up trying to get the ball to trailing and let them work in man-to-man coverage. I just got to get the ball out a little bit quicker. Feel that rush, especially at that point of the game, and keep us in a better situation. You know, we were doing really well in third downs and fourth downs throughout the game, especially early. So we knew they're going to get more aggressive. And the old line was doing a good job of picking it up. And we were doing a good job. Receivers are doing a good job of getting to the open area, so I could get the ball out of my hand quickly. So I had to take an extra hit, just man-coverage. Got to let the guy win, and hats off to them for making a great play and a big moment of the game. Yeah, you know, we were trying to take a shot on third and long. Trailer ended up running by him, and I was trying to give him a chance to go up and make a play. You know, as I said, it's a critical situation. Turn out the ball. Defense did a great job of getting out the field, though, right after. So we still felt good about the situation. But yeah, you know, I think, obviously, you know, you get it two weeks ago, and you got a guy on the go ball, and we haven't gotten a ton of reps at it. So that was tough. But you know, I got to put the ball out there and let trailing be a big-body receiver go up and make a play on the ball. Now, I think, like, it's just all about situationally and playing the game, right? You know, in the second half, both teams, you know, in offense, we're still trying to find their rhythm, and defenses were playing better. So just recognizing the part of the game, trying to get the ball out of my hands as quickly as possible. We did a great job executing in the first half and the second half. You know, we're still executing, but just coming up a little short on third down. And in the end, that's what the game comes down to. You know, those two, three plays, we're able to stand on the field, keep the chains moving. Then we have a chance to go down and win the game. I felt like my arm was moving forward. I mean, we throw the ball, and the ball goes forward. After the guy hits you, you know, it feels like just, I'm a physics guy. So it was pretty simple that, you know, it's going forward. But, you know, as I said as well, like, I haven't seen the play as well. So I don't know when he hit me in the act of throwing. When you're on the road, they do a great job of not showing replays of a big, big play. So I'll check it out on film and see, but yeah, it was definitely a tough one. First half, you know, I think obviously losing sucks, right? And especially with the magnitude of the game and everything that not only personally just coming here, but the guys just putting into the situation. You know, Chris Connelly really put things into perspective. He was like, just look how far you've come in your journey just this year from where you started to shoot where I was four weeks ago, you know. So it's been a tremendous journey. You know, I'm really proud of my effort. I'm proud of the team's effort. I'm proud of how the guys fought. Especially with the championship on the line. And it sucks losing, but it's part of the game. And, you know, we'll rally. We'll watch the film, figure out how we can improve situationally, take care of the football a little bit better and keep pushing for it. First, I have to keep the change moving and win time for the session. Yeah, you know, it was, we were really on script. You know, the first third down the game, I gave Jay Ward a bad ball. And then from there, we were really able to execute in those big moments, right? One of our keys was scoring touchdowns in the red zone. So personally, I feel like, you know, we could have done a better job of that. I could have did a better job of that. You know, we ended up settling for a couple of field goals. We got one touchdown and big play to Chig. But you know, yeah, score touchdown in the red zone and that's where the game comes down to. So we played well in the first half. They did a great job making adjustments on defense. I thought we still moved the ball well, especially coming out of the second half. It just came down to those couple plays at the end of the game. It wasn't tough at all. You know, I think for me personally, just kind of my mental disposition just on ball, you know, it's one play at a time. You know, there's going to be plays where they get you. There's going to be plays where you get them. At the end of the day, it's all about how you respond, whether it's a good player or a bad play, because the last play has no effect on the next play. So yeah, they got us on that play. But we did a good job responding. We drove the ball. We didn't finish the drive how we wanted, which is tough. But I like the look in the guy's eyes, right? I like the no-flinch mentality. I like just feeling guys, the energy and the huddle, saying we're good. Let's go down. Let's stay confident and keep moving the ball. And with that energy and effort, it's definitely going to set you up for success in the future. How do you kind of deal with the suddenness? Trying to figure out how to deal with it, honestly. When you put a lot into this game, especially given my situation, given the team situation, and guys battling back from injury, all for this game, right? It's really the seasons on the line. AFC's self-champs and an opportunity to go to the playoffs. And when you wake up, when you grow up playing ball, man, these are the opportunities that you love and that you yearn for. So yeah, it's definitely tough. It's definitely tough. It'd be a tough, tough flight home, but we'll be able to rally and keep pushing forward. How do you learn? Shoot, obviously I've learned. I've learned more ball. I wouldn't say I learned anything by myself because I expect myself to be ready for difficult situations. So to be placed in this situation and have to come in and play well, I really take pride in that. Just with my mental disposition, how I work, how I prepare, I'm thankful for the opportunity because shoot, I've been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. So I hope there's many more like it. I'll definitely look forward to it. Based on, I don't know if it's maybe soon, but based on your time here, would you like the opportunity to come back and compete for a role here next year? No doubt. I love Tennessee. Shoot, I spent a lot of time in Tennessee. I enjoy the offense. I feel comfortable in the offense. I know those decisions aren't made by me. And so we'll see how it shakes out this offseason. But the opportunity is presented. I would love to be back. I mean, it's difficult to lose any time in this league. Felt like we were going to win the game. Felt like we were going to win the game Monday and Tuesday. All the way up through the week, I felt really good about where we were at. Obviously, we played with great effort. Kept answering when the offense needed an answer. They did. And when the defense needed two, they did. And they just made a play there at the end. Caught you in the game. I mean, in this league, you can't turn it over and give up defensive scores. But we're all in this thing together. And that's the most important thing that we have to recognize. Yeah, I mean, they did. But that's their job, and that's what they've done, and that's the expectation. And just the same way as there was times where the offense put together some drives and 17-play drives and took some clock off and kept the ball away from them. So again, really close, but not close enough. How quick is it for you to get a second look at it yourself? I mean, all scoring plays are reviewed. So clearly, there's only one game going on. There's probably a couple set of eyes that looked at it. No, they didn't put it on their replay. I mean, when I looked up, I didn't see it on the replay. How limiting was field position? Starting in the shadow of your own goal post certainly is an ideal. We just got to be able to string some first downs together and get off to a better start, maybe convert. I thought when Jonathan made that extra effort play, I thought we had a chance to get into the drive and do some things. But that ended. None of us really were good enough at the end of the day. I thought Josh did some good things, but one about one guy. Yeah, I mean, it was just the third and long play. And if they had given us some free access just trying to get into the defense, we had shown a similar look earlier in the year. We tried to get the trailer in and catch and run and thought maybe steal one. And if not, hopefully, still be in field goal range. But again, if they're coming at them, we just wanted to go down. But if they'd given us free access, try to get into it and then see if we can convert on a third and 15. But that was it. I thought we started a game. We wanted to, but you got to finish better. You have to finish as confident that we would. And we didn't. What do you think they're going to have from off the court? I mean, I only talk on a night. I think they played, but I mean, we're out there battling, Joe. I mean, battling their ass off with guys that didn't even start to season with us. So that's what the problem was sometimes tonight. But that's where it was. We'll try to take a look at everything else at a later time, but focus on tonight. The penalty, I mean, there's some penalties that costly again. First and 30-yard run, it gets called back. And it's first and 20. Those are tough. So those are things that you can't do. Two turnovers, we'll keep typing all those things down. Those are going to lead to not much points. As far as Lawrence getting the ball up, at what point did you guys come? I mean, in the second half, I think we just kind of figuring out what we felt like was going to work and where the game plan was. And I thought we did a nice job of mixing it up. Try to limit there. Again, just trying to disrupt the timing and affect the quarterback a little bit, which we were able to do, which was a lot to get us some stops and some three and outs or some sudden change situations. Yeah, I mean, it's not all in the quarterback. No, I'm not saying it is. And I wasn't saying that you were. I'm just answering the question and just saying that that's something that you have to do is being able to block pressure and make them pay for it down the field or whatever the situation is and execute. But we weren't, I mean, and we have to be able to get the protection right and block them and all those things that go into executing on third down. And the switch was that? I mean, that was one of the keys with special teams is limiting Agnew and being an explosive runner in his career and even this year. And I had a touchdown against us that was called back. So we clearly understand how explosive he is. And we have to do a better job. Go win the game. And I mean, go win the game. It's nothing we can do about it now. We went from four minute to two minute. And as the house situations quickly, they change, unfortunately, in this league. You're trying to get a third down conversion because we did some pretty good things with six minutes and trying to get a couple first downs. And trying to get a third down there, conversion with three minutes and whatever it was, 15 seconds. And really start forcing them to use timeouts. And then it didn't work out. I'm proud I am to coach them. We didn't waver. A lot of teams would be guys fighting. I'd be breaking up fights. And guys would be quitting on teammates. But I mean, I think you can tell by the effort that whoever goes out there is playing with great effort. And again, it's got to be more than just great effort. We have to have a lot of things happen to be better. But those are just signs that you look for, like guys are competing, they're fighting, and they're coming to work. Yeah, that's what I told them. I was thankful for the guys that started this thing with us. I've been here through the long haul. It's a long season from April 18th. I was thankful for a lot of guys that came in here mid-season, mid-week, that played. That's what I told them. And I'm sorry. I'm sorry that they lost, that we lost. I mean, that we lost. I wanted to win for them. And the people that have stood by us through this whole thing. No, I mean, not for me. Like, I only care about the team. I care about the players. I care about their families. No, I mean, it hasn't. My family's healthy. I mean, I get to see Carter. I get to go home and see Jen and the family. And it's these guys. We've been through a lot. And I mean, we celebrated life. We've mourned loss of life within our players' families. And I told them, this is the first game. I've played or coached in the state of Florida that my grandfather hadn't been at. So we all go through stuff. And I think we've all stood by them, stood by each other, supported each other. We just got on a shitty street. And we couldn't get off. We couldn't make the plays when we needed to. We couldn't just be consistent enough when we needed to. Well, that showed up again tonight.
