 But the buy is coming at a good time force. Flipping that to defense, what changes do you feel like maybe you need to make? Or can you make it this point defensively? Well, I need to sit there and watch the film. I've got feelings right now after the game. Obviously it's kind of been the story of the last month. We've gotten some of the explosives down. They hit the one with the mistack on the third down. But we've got to make sure we're getting some of these long drives. There's been low possession games here last month or so. We've got to do a better job in all three phases, right? So as I've said, everything's on the table. We have this late buy. We've got a quarter of a season left. We'll come in tomorrow. We'll talk as a staff this week. But certainly, there are options on the table. Following that up, I know you haven't seen tape or anything yet, but could you just sort of give your impressions of what you saw watching Marcus today in the game? Well, you know, Jeff, we were a little more aggressive early knowing that they had kind of packed the pain in there and they were sitting on everything. It's why we tried to press the ball down the field. We hit that shot to Drake. Again, like all of us, nothing's perfect. Clearly, we come up three points short. There's a lot that we need to make sure we get in there and evaluate fairly and objectively and look at everything's on the table. Obviously, it's not good enough when you lose a game. And that's what happened. It came up short. Going off of that, you talked about the Steelers kind of packing in the box and only running the ball six times in that first half, but then able to have 100 yards on the ground in the second half. Was that more in terms of Pittsburgh kind of coming off of the line, or is that just something that y'all took kind of a- Not necessarily. I mean, a couple things. Was there a stats can be a little misleading? I believe taking out that last two-minute drive, I think we had 19 plays give or take. I don't have the number in front of me, but that's what I was told in between the series. So we had thrown the ball a little bit more. We had off track with the holding call. So six out of 19 plays, I think we had runs. One of them was a possible run that may have been checked to something else. So we didn't have enough plays. We weren't on the field much. Start the second half. I think we got one first down, and then we had to punt. And then, thankfully, we got going a little bit at the end of the third quarter. So not enough plays, not a lot of possessions. So there's a lot of things we need to get fixed. Do you think that the offense was able in the second half to kind of get back to the roots of what y'all want to do in the run game? That's the roots. I mean, we were, you know, it was 19-6, right? We were able to hold them to a field goal. They had that drive after. So we were able to get a couple positive plays. I thought we had some good momentum. I thought we got into a groove a little bit offensively. I thought our guys were going to come off the football, and certainly leaned in that aspect of it, got us back in the game, got us down there. Unfortunately, we had to kick the field goal. And then we got the ball back late, and they picked it. What roles do you think penalties played kind of in that second half to, you talk about getting off track. What role did those penalties play in that? Well, certainly, I mean, we got to look at them all and see what we can do better fundamentally so we don't get those holds. Those are big calls. Again, I don't have an opinion until I really watch the film, but certainly that'll get you off track. We had the one early in the game, a decent run, but I mean, we got to be able to overcome that, and we didn't. Arthur, what's the biggest area of concerns you'll address during the bye week offensively for, or I believe it's just one touchdown in the last six plus quarters? Well, again, I think a lot of it is gonna have to do with, you know, not getting enough opportunities. You know, we got to only get that down there twice. I think we stalled out in the French, we're moving the football at a decent level, but not well enough to win more of these games. So everything right there, you know, we need more possessions, we need to be cleaner, and we need more opportunities down there. So we got down there twice today, we scored on one, and then we had the penalty after the touchdown, and then we, you know, had to kick the field goal. So certainly we need to get down there more, and we need to possess the mobile, so that would start there. Arthur, they had the, excuse me, they had the fumble that was reversed on replay, what explanation were you giving about the officials on that play? Yeah, I don't think you ever really had possession of it, so I think that's what they saw. When you're making your evaluations in the next two weeks, at any point is there value in, is it strictly black and white, or is it at any point is there value in just making a change just to try to get a different result, whether it be a quarterback or some other thing? I mean, I think everything, I mean, sometimes you wanna be, like I said, wanna make sure you're doing the right thing, not overreacting emotionally, sometimes change, yeah. I mean, there's plenty of examples of your right, Josh, but that can help maybe spark something. So like I said, every option's on the table. Arthur, you're close enough these last, right here, sorry, you're close enough these last two games, that you've got a first and goal for a go-ahead touchdown in the fourth, both times. Is it harder because this ending is so much like last week's was? Yeah, it's kind of different. I think last week we were down there at the end of the game, ball got tipped. This one, we scored a touchdown, we got a hold. Here, first and 20, trying to get something back, and I'm gonna play soft. Thought we gave ourselves a chance. I'm gonna have to look at it again, put the ball up to Drake. We're able to make the play, they're completely different, completely different, but that's the way the football goes. You talked about getting more possessions. I think y'all didn't convert a third down in the first half, or maybe there was just one. What was going on there, and how much did perhaps not having pits in the lineup affect that? Like, we're never gonna make excuses. I think the biggest thing, I think we correct the Pittsburgh too, you know, when you get to a lot of third and longs, usually it's not a good thing. So I thought we were in too many third and longs. Obviously, when we were able to get back on track, I thought we were able to convert some key third down. You know, that's the one too. Mine obviously doesn't go down as third down conversion, but we converted a fourth down. And so we took a shot on another third down, I believe the one to Forks are got us down there. So that'd be the biggest key, is staying out of third and 10 plus. Yeah, there are a couple more things. First, on the play to London in the end zone, that at least Drake looked like he was very much campaigning for a flag. Do you feel like there should have been one thrown there? Yeah, Mike, I'm not gonna answer that. I mean, I understand why you're asking. Again, I'd have to look at it. I'm not gonna give my opinion on that. And as you're making decisions, as you're looking through these evaluations, how much does the unique opportunity that you've been calling it for weeks now, that the division come into play, versus what you kind of maybe need to look at bigger picture? Well, I think it's a team. We said there's a lot of things we can improve on. And so, and we need to, right? It's gonna be hard when you're low possession games and you're playing in the teams. That's not what we want. I mean, obviously, we want to get back in the winning side. I mean, we've had a lot of close games. You know, there's not an issue of guys and you see the resolve we have no matter what. But again, there's no moral victories. We got to get over this hump. So we got to look at everything. And we got to get back to the other side of winning. So there's a lot of reasons why. So we, like I said, Mike, it'll be good to be able to take a step back. But there will be changes made. We got to look at everything. Thank you. Marcus asked Arthur this question, but to only run the ball six times in the first half and then to have 100 plus in the second half. I mean, how much of that was decided by what Pittsburgh was doing defensively? Yeah, I think initially they did, they tried to load up the box. You know, it made some exposures down the field in the past game. Fortunately, we stalled out on a couple of our drives. And you know, when you're playing a team like this, they're going to limit your possessions. And when you're not able to capitalize on it, makes it tough. Think only three for 10 on third downs today. What went into that number and kind of what needs to happen moving forward to change that? Well, I think we got into some third and long situations. You know, obviously the delay of game didn't help on the penalty. When we were able to get into some third and manageable, we were able to convert a fourth down on the scoring drive. And you know, at the end of the day, if you're not into this third and manageable situations and you let a pass rush like that get going, it's tough. Coach just said that everybody's going to be evaluated and there's going to be changes going in two weeks into the Saints game. What do you think you need to do better to remain as a starter? Sorry, well, it starts on third down. You know, if we're not able to convert third downs or not getting more plays, we're not allowing ourselves opportunity to score points. So it always kind of starts there for the quarterback position. If you're not able to convert third downs, you're not allowing your offense a chance to score points. I know this moment's tough right now, but would you understand if you decided to make a change at quarterback? That's not necessarily where my mind's at. You know, you're still trying to reflect on what happened in the game. At the end of the day, they got to make a decision that's best for the team and whatever happens happens. But I'm not really thinking about that right now. Marcus, not the last drive, but the drive where you got down to the 10 yard line. How much do penalties just derail things when you get penalties in the red zone like you guys did? Well, yeah, I'm puts you in bad spots, right? You know, unfortunately, it was a tough holding call. You know, and you get a false start and it was a lack of communication on my end. And you know, when you're getting negative plays and you're putting yourself in these third and longs or second and longs, you know, they can kind of pin their ears back and do what they want. And then the defense dictates really the game, how the game's played. So negative plays, penalties when those things happen, it really stalls drives. Going back to the third downs, how much did not having Kyle and the light up effect, you know, just the drop offs and the things that you can normally look for in third downs? Well, I mean, you're gonna miss a player like Kyle no matter what. His ability to create separation, find ways to get open and make catches like that. You know, it's tough when it's not in the lineup. But I get to give our guys credit. I thought our tight end group as a whole has really stepped up. Whether it's FERC, whether it's Peru, whether it's Parker and even Felipe, like when you lose a guy like Kyle, you gotta have multiple players to be able to fill that role. And I thought our tight end group has done a good job.
