 Is that all? OK. Like a gut punch card, is this for you? Well, any time you lose, it's a gut punch. I mean, we put a lot into it and got started how we want to. Give them a lot of credit. We went flat, and then we weren't able to get anything going there in the second half. When you say you went flat, like emotionally or just the performance? No, I mean, I just think it's all. It's everybody. Execution, third down. They hit some big plays. We weren't able to convert in the red zone. And defensively, we just couldn't stop the run. Number one key to the game. And that's why you lose. Not because you miss a field goal at the end of the game. It's a lot of things up to that. How unusual was that Mike did not be able to stop the run? It was such a strength for you? Well, obviously, I mean, that's something that we've done a good job of. And this is an unforgiving league when you don't play the gaps or you don't tackle or you just, it's a very unforgiving league, especially with a good back or excellent back. On the 65-yard touchdown where the stripper got behind, Fulton was just a blown coverage. You have a chance to ask Christian here in three minutes when I finish. Why the issues with the clock in terms of the delays? The one down in the red zone, that was clearly on me. Those are critical. The team bailed me out, just was trying to look at the formation, make sure that we were in the right formation. And normally, I would obviously use a timeout. And then we just know how critical those timeouts are. The team bailed us out. And then we needed all the timeouts that we could put ourselves in position there at the end. Hi, so that's all it's 2020. But looking back on that third and one, would you rather have given Henry the football as opposed to the comp on the end of run? Well, we're just trying to, we go in with a game plan. And there's a short yardage plan. And some of the stuff that we had prepared for it, that was one of the plays. But we gave it to Derek on the Wildcat. So that one didn't work either. We just all have to come back and be better and prepare and get ready to go face Buffalo. Where was Hillier down the stretch as effective as he was? It wasn't available, just some of the distance. So we'll evaluate him and see where he's at tomorrow. Mike, you had to feel pretty good about some of the things that Cal gave you in this first game, the big return early, the catch to it. Yeah, those are all secondary. We expect those guys to play well. We have to take care of the football. A lot of good things. And some of those things that are going to get you beat, we have to eliminate. We've been through that. You have the Giants a ton of credit. They stuck around and made the plays that they needed to make, especially down the stretch. Brewers holding calls. Anything consistent? You know what? I'm not going to even get into that. I mean, that's part of the game. On the last drive, when you had to call that time out, I guess we'll. Just making sure we wanted it on the correct hash. Making sure everybody was on the same page. We felt good about 18 seconds. That was something that we'd worked where you could reasonably center the football, put it on the hash that you wanted on, and then get lined back up and clock it. And I think we've worked that numerous times. If it gets below that, you run the risk of a pile up or the ball getting kicked around or crazy things. But I thought we handled that situation well. Everything good operationally on the kick? Just like everything else. If it's a bad play, it's everybody's included. And Randy's made a bunch of kicks for us, and he'll continue to make a bunch of big kicks for us. Go ahead. Mike, this is a group that's known for their stoutness on defense in the run game. What do you think led to having such a bad day stopping the run? Good player, poor defense, poor gap integrity. And just a couple of times it was edge. Sometimes it's inside. We're tackling. We'll have to really reevaluate what we're doing and give them credit. They were able to run the football, which was the number one key for us on defense. Ron, I guess one of your thoughts, maybe immediately after this, you guys dominated during parts or just couldn't really put them away? Yeah, we just, I think, lost some opportunities out there. Didn't make some plays that were there. And you got to play a full game. I don't think we finished the way, obviously, we want to. Didn't move the ball effectively enough throughout the game. Like you said, had spurts where we did some good things. Just could be more consistent. What was your, I guess, angle on the kick and did you think it was good at the start and maybe how deflating was? Yeah, I couldn't really see the angle on it when it came off his foot. I have a lot of faith in Randy and know that he's going to be able to make the next one. So this doesn't change my belief in him or our team's belief in him. He's made a lot of kicks for us in the past. He's going to continue to do that. Was there any desperation at any point in that drive or did you guys feel like you were doing exactly what you want to do? No, I don't think there was desperation at all. I felt great. I felt like we had some opportunities there. We were steady to just gain in some yards. We had some opportunities to pass there to Kyle, one he got held on, and the other one we were able to hit. So I felt in control and felt like they were trying to heat us up a little bit. And we were able to have answers and gain yards on those situations. And unfortunately, we just didn't finish it. Frustrating not to be able to build on the lead when you're up 13-nothing? Yeah, no doubt. Coming into half, we felt like we left some meat on the bone, didn't score once we were in the red zone, and expected to come out and be able to score more points than we did in the second half. Regardless of the opponent, that's just our mentality that we should be able to score more points than we did in the second half. So got to get a lot of things cleaned up and look forward to another opportunity next week. Top targets, Kyle and Trelin, both getting the majority of the target share. What was going right in that sense of the game where you felt comfortable going to Kyle so often, especially late, when you guys had your backs against the wall? Yeah, Kyle's made a bunch of plays for me this training camp. So built up that relationship, and he's shown that he can win consistently in practice. So that translates over to the game, and it gets put in a situation, man-to-man coverage. He wins in practice, so I expect him to win in a game situation. Trelin coming in, I think we had some plays. We wanted to try to get him down the field on, and he was able to make some of those plays for us. So some more opportunities where I thought we had some shots down the field we weren't able to connect, but just look forward to continue to try to take advantage of those situations. Was Hilliard as much a factor in the passing game as you kind of expected coming into this season he can be? Yeah, we built up a lot of confidence in Don Trell over last season when he joined us. And then he was here the whole spring, so we were able to kind of move him around a little bit. He showed up big for us today, one down in the, I guess, two down in the red zone. But he does a good job for us on third downs, and he has some natural feel and ability to be able to get himself open. Ryan, was there anything in particular you guys game planned for this week that you weren't able to do in the game, or was it just a matter of inconsistency? No, I think we had a good game plan coming in. I felt really confident about it, and I feel like we had opportunities with some of the stuff that we were trying to hit, just inconsistent and didn't take advantage of some of those opportunities when they arose. You don't get, in this league, if you don't take advantage of plays whenever you get the opportunity to, then you're going to come up short a lot of time. Ryan, what went into using that final time out when you guys did? It seems like maybe you could have used it a couple of seconds later. We were just trying to get the ball in the right hash there. So the time out wasn't really a factor. Just trying to be able to move the ball over the right hash, and we were able to clock it. So it would be in the same type of situation. Did you think about holding the time out to try and make the kick a little bit closer? Was that a discussion that went on at all, or was the priority the hash mark there? Yeah, you have to ask Vraves about that. That's the information I got, so that's what we rolled with. Might it have helped if you had gotten some play in preseason, or did you feel it made no difference or not? No, I feel like it made absolutely no difference. Felt really confident going out there today. And from the start of the game, I felt like I was seeing things clearly and putting the ball where I wanted to, so I don't think it was a factor. This was one of the more balanced passing attacks that I've seen from you guys. Is it different when you don't have that dominant top number one, as opposed to now that we have a group of solid pass catchers? Yeah, we've got a good group of guys. And I think over the course of training camp, we've kind of built that trust across the room. And it's going to take all those guys making plays. There's going to be some games where one guy gets a few more targets than the other guys. But over the course of this season, that's going to shift and ebb and flow depending on the game. So we're going to need all those guys in that room to come up big for us at different times this year. You know it's a long season, but as much time as you spent thinking about this game, how terrible does a 0-1 feel? Losing sucks no matter when it happens. You never want to start off the season on the wrong foot, especially at home in front of your own fans. We have to turn the page quickly though. So it's a long season. It's just one game. And we have to keep that mentality to be able to take a real look at what happened, get it fixed quickly, and turn the page and get ready to go for next week. So just how tough a way is this to start a season? It's tough. We didn't play good enough. They were the better team. That's why they won. We didn't play up to our standard. We let them hang around. And he capitalized off of it. And we got to play better on all three phases. This one good enough until our standard. Did it feel like it should have been more than 13 to nothing at the half because you guys had seemingly controlled the game on both sides of the balls? Yeah, definitely. Then we got in the red zone and couldn't score. So we got to be better as a whole on offense. We know that we're getting the red zone. We got to score touchdowns. And coach put heavy emphasis on that. And we didn't do that. So we don't hit some of the keys that you want to. You think that can help you impact the game and win the game? Then that's what happens. And we didn't take advantage of being in the red zone and scoring touchdowns. What happened on the wild cap? Oh, I took my eyes off the ball. Should have secured the ball first and then made my read and hit the hole. But I got too excited and dropped the ball. No excuse. We got to be better and continue to work on that and try to get better at it. It seemed like they were able to get to you a lot of times, like the behind the line and scrimmage. Was there anything in particular happening that was allowing them to do that? We just got to be better in the run game, all 11 of us. And we all know that. And just continue to work on it. Wasn't good today. Wasn't good enough for us to win the game and for us to have the explosive runs. And when the style of football that we play, we know it wasn't good enough, no excuses. And we just got to be better next week. Were you physically, how are you feeling after actually going through a full game of content? Oh, yeah, I mean, I feel good, which is result could be better, which is saying different things. But that's one game, I don't think it defines us. We know that we could have played better and should have been better. And again, we let it slip by. But you just let it motivate you, make the corrections tomorrow, and get ready for the week coming up. How big is this week coming up? You got Buffalo, Raleigh, the gate, no time to really, no time to fret over this one, I guess, you got a big game coming up next Monday night. Usually, like I said, tomorrow, just make the corrections on the film. And I'm definitely going to put heavy emphasis on myself and see the things I did and the things I can get better at. And then I know we'll do it as a whole. We watch film and be honest with each other and what we need to get better at. Like you said, we've got a tough game with Buffalo and then start getting prepared for that and move on. What's the approach in the locker room from leaders on the team when you're coming off of a loss like this and you're looking down the barrel of a big game like you guys have come up this week? What do you guys say to some of the guys on this team to get them to the place they need to be to be able to compete at a higher level? Yeah, as leaders, you just want to make sure everybody rallies together, no stay with it. We let one slip away. Stuff happens. You know what I'm saying? You can't get down on yourself. We've got to come back in this week and be positive, make the corrections, hold each other accountable, and then get ready to go. You spend a good amount of time in the locker room at KB's locker, talking to him. Was that kind of like to get together and just plan how you want to spring it forward for the week or is that just random? Yeah, this conversation about the game and what we need to do to be better and just having a conversation about us as a team and some of those things that happened in the game. And then I'm sure we'll have more conversations. We get in tomorrow about what we need to do as leaders and as a team to be better. What did you see from Don Trell in the passing game, man? Yeah, he did a great job. One-on-one match-ups, he's been winning all camp, he got in the game, and he did the same thing. So he made some big plays when we needed him, and I was happy for him. Derek, this team seems to take a loss, a tough loss, and rebound and play well the next week. How does this team seem to do that so consistently on the games when you do lose? Yeah, I know. It's a long season. Stuff like that, stuff like this happens, you don't want it to happen. And like you said, it's another game the next week. We've got Buffalo, so you've got to have a short memory on what happened, but make the corrections, be better, improve, hold each other accountable, and individually and as a team. What was your biggest advantage on the kick, and I'm more certain that you were expecting it to go in? Just what part of the flating is it when you see a kind of sell left? Like Coach said, we shouldn't even have been in that situation. I feel like we had plenty of opportunities to win the game, and it's not Randy's fault. We're always going to rally behind Randy. He's an inefficient kicker. He's a great kicker, and stuff like that happens, but we shouldn't have left him in Randy's hands. I feel like we should have did what we needed to do on our end to be able to win this game.
