 And I'd like to follow up too. Coach, could you confess the play of Desmond Ritter? Pretty damn good. Could you elaborate, please? Sure. He told me he'd assess it, and now he's going to elaborate. Absolutely. The thing I think about that is in a lot of young quarterbacks, I think what you saw today was two pretty good young quarterbacks. Not what you want to give up a touchdown there. Defense played well all day, but that's what good teams do. You find a way. We had our timeouts. You practice those situations. He was about as cool as you can see. I had a lot of times that I just look at players and not looking as I and all our guys. And they executed the plan, took control of the situation, and then when he needed to deliver one, we got the look we wanted. He did, and Drake came down with it, and essentially ended the game, and then Koo comes out. He managed the situation, and we got the most clutch kicker in the league, and we go home with a win. So I think what it says a lot about him, D-Led, it's a tough job to be a quarterback in this league. That's what they sign up for. That's why a lot of those guys are well compensated. Takes a special mindset. He's got the right mindset, but we know there's a lot of work to do. I mean, if we all of a sudden think we've got all the answers today and we don't continue to improve and grow, well, you'll get humbled pretty quick. So we're not going to take any victory laps, but very pleased. And it was great to see his response this week. And to you and your staff, what did you all do to battle through the penalties and the early fumbles of the second, third quarter? They happened, and we got to clean those up. That hasn't been our history. The personal foul, that was at least a three-point swing and on a guy that's uncharacteristic, but it did happen. And so at the bottom of it, the same thing with fine line when you're working in a situation, the one they called on David at the end. I know they were already in field of arrange. Those are things we got to eliminate. And we will, and we'll continue to work. We got the right guys in the locker room. In terms of Ritter, was there a point today where maybe you felt like you saw him get more comfortable? Well, a week, Michael, you know, it's about preparation. Obviously, you've got to go do it. That's the only thing I love about the NFL is you can rationalize on it and hype it up, but it's a result oriented business. And it keeps score every Sunday. And that's what you embrace. And I thought he did a great job all week preparing. And, you know, as ugly as going back to last week, like I said, when you get in those things, it's what's your response? How do you handle adversity? You don't want the adversity, but that's going to tell you a lot about people, players and coaches. And that's why I'm thankful I get to coach a group of guys like that. And in terms of Kyle Pitts, I mean, there were so many questions about where he was in terms of physically, for at least from us, there were a lot. Is this the closest you think you've seen him to what you saw a season and a half ago at this point? I've said this a million times. It's a long journey back. Everybody's different. And when it clicks, it clicks. And see how he feels this week. I mean, people forget you get callous to the fact that some of these injuries, these guys come back from. I know they look like superheroes sometimes, but they are human. And it was great to see it. We got into a rhythm, and he made some enormous plays for us. We moved the ball well. The next step is we continue to take advantage and not, obviously, create more touchdowns. But we got the right guys. And Storm comes in there, doesn't flinch. Again, the credit to our football staff is why you continue to look and the right fit and the guy that's played. And he didn't blink and played pretty good football for us and helped us win. Storm, yeah, he came in here. I don't know yet. I mean, at least Caleb was up on the bike. That's usually a good sign. We'll see. But that's what you do, and that's when you have a real football staff, and you're trying to constantly improve. Those are the things that nobody ever sees, but they help you win games. All right, the way you won the game, the way he come back, you've always said that the teammates and the staff always believed and does. But the way he won it today, I think that just etches the confidence that they have in him and ends future talk of who's for future quarterback. Look, you know, the job's never finished, Zach. And you've got to understand that when you're a head coach, play-caller, quarterback in this league, it's constant. And if you think all of a sudden because of one game, you can just relax. That's not the job. But you've got to understand that. But it takes a special mindset to do that. And he does. I mean, history says that. You have to have history of it and evidence. And so today, hopefully, that does build confidence because now he's got evidence. Great fourth quarter comeback. I mean, the game got tight. And I'll say this. I mean, they've got a real quarterback on the other side. It wasn't probably the day that they wanted. We jumped something on the third down. And he saw it and made a play. Not many guys can do that. But he did. But then the ball comes back to us. And we've got three timeouts. You know, one score game, we had a lot of confidence. But that's what you want to see. It's healthy for the game. You need great quarterback play in this league. It's exciting. It's what people come to watch. Coach, five weeks in, how would you describe what you have in this defense? Because this unit repeatedly is keeping you in every second. It's the whole team. It's a mindset. But we got the right guys over there. You know, like I said, that's what good teams do. They handle a couple of sudden changes with the turnovers, some of the things in the field position. They don't flinch. And so, again, it's somebody, you win as a team. I can't say that enough. And if you have the right mindset, it's not three independent units. It's a team. They don't understand how you win as a team. And so we got some really smart veterans over there. And they understand the plan. We tweak it every week. You can't do that if you don't have really smart players. And they do. And like I said, just proud that I get to coach these guys. Arthur, you touched on this a little bit. But at the last two games, obviously, there was a lot of focus on Dez. What were your conversations with him like during the week? How did he respond? Jeff, perspective, minding him, he's not the first quarterback that's ever had a bad stretch. But again, you've got to go prove it. You can't make excuses. You've got to say anything as a coach. I think when you get to that part where you get defensive or you start making excuses, you're not going to be objective. You're not going to improve. And so that was a lot of it. Understanding how do we take that next step? I mean, we still feel like we've got to come back. And we've got to get better. And you don't want to be the same team. And October, we want to get in December and January and keep playing. We've got to continue to improve. But today was a good step in the right direction. And was there a point during the week where you felt he was in a good place? Yeah, probably by Wednesday. Because that's the thing, no matter what you, you try to, nor not the roller coaster, but sometimes unless you go to the other side of the earth or the Western Australia and turn your phone off, I don't because it's everybody around you. But it takes perspective in the right mindset. What did you learn about the John Robinson in those moments after the fumble and how he responds in those situations? I mean, the play he made on the shuttle pass was ridiculous. But that's who Bijan is when he makes. So this great players make the hard things look easy. He continues to do that. Our fun player, glad to get to coach him. Yeah, coach, you guys held the Texans to 4 for 13 on third downs. Just how big is that holding him from, or to three instead of seven, especially to keep your offense as momentum going? Yeah, enormous. Those are the games within the games, right? When teams got a chance to steal momentum and you're able to, I call them four point swings. I thought the defense, again, like I said, we knew this offense. They had been getting a lot of chunk plays. They had a few, nothing crazy explosive, but enough where they got down there a few times and thought they did a good job. You know, again, playing situational football, like it's a national football league, somebody's going to make a play. But you don't let that all sudden deflate you and then you give up touchdowns. And so, yeah, those are huge, huge momentum plays. Thank you. They're behind you, right behind you. All right, cool, cool. Thanks for the vision. Describe the week and how it was for you and then what you were able to put together on the field today. Yeah, this was a week just like any other week. It came into work every single day, just trying to improve, just trying to get better. We knew that they were just going to try to make us force and do something bad. And as long as we just played within our game and played with what we did and what we do, we'd be able to be able to have an advantage. Des, you've talked about grading yourself after every performance. What would you grade yourself after this one? I don't know. You all going to have to go grade that one. Yeah, I don't know. I got to go back and look at it. Des, what was just the biggest difference in the way that the offense performed today? Because there were still some turnovers, some penalties, but you were able to overcome them in the end. What was the biggest difference first the last couple weeks? Yeah, again, like you said, you know, I think it was just our ability to be able to go up there and just keep moving the ball forward. You know, in the past couple of weeks, you know, you might have something go wrong, a turnover, whatever it may be. And then that next drive or whatever it is, you know, you're not able to get the ball moving. You're not able to change field position. So for us, you know, when things go wrong, we're able to come back out there and move the ball down the field. And so that's really the biggest difference. You know, and you talk about these last couple of weeks, whatever it may have been. And you look at today, no, we didn't, you know, that first drive didn't go how we wanted, but obviously came out the second drive was able to go. And then there was a period of time where, you know, there were a roll of punts that we had to get off. So, you know, going back, looking out at those other things, or if we can get out of that low and just keep our foot on the gas from the jump, you know, we'll be good to go. The camera was on your face at the very end. Your response seemed pretty muted. I wondered if internally you were feeling a little bit more like, you know, you showed people something. No, I mean, that's just kind of, you know, if I'm out there smiling or angry or whatever, like that's what it is. And then when I'm straight faced, you know, locked in, just kind of cool comp collected. You know, like I said, post game is a two minute drill. There's a minute 50 left on the clock, three timeouts. That's an eternity in the league. And, you know, we worked out every single day. We worked two minute drill every single day. So when we get in these situations, we're comfortable. And that's just where I felt I was comfortable at. Any part of you, though, feel like you've proven yourself today or you took a step toward proving yourself today? Has that entered your mind yet? Yeah, sure. You know, when you talk about that, it's all within self. You know, I really don't care what the outside world has to say, as long as, you know, myself and my teammates were on the same page. You know, like I said, we're just going to keep getting better, not only myself, but the team as well, and just keep improving. Did you prove anything to yourself today? Yeah, you know, prove that we could stay calm. We could stay collected. You know, that was our first, I think, really one of my first, you know, true two minute drives. Obviously go win the game, whatever it was. And like we said, you know, just that it was calm, cool, collected, you know, didn't rush anything, didn't try to force anything, just played it as it came. Within that final drive, I know we've talked, and this goes back even to the first week of the season about how the defense can keep you guys in it, keep you guys in it, and just like making sure that there is that trust there that y'all can hold up your side of the bark into. How much do you think that that final drive showed that trust from unit to unit? Yeah, that's huge. This is a team game, not just game of 11, but a game of 53. And when we're all out there doing what everyone needs to do, everyone's doing their own job, you look at it. The defense did their job, got them out of the field, then we came out, did what we needed to do, and then special teams come out. You know, I was telling the guys on the sideline, every single guy just needs to do their job. We're talking about who's field go right there to win the game. As long as each person does their job and does their job to the fullest, the kick's going to go in, and we're going to be good, and we'll be happy after. So yeah, you could say it was huge, whatever you want to say, but it was great for our team, just to come out here and get a great team win. We've got a question about a specific play when Bijan caught the ball, sort of on his hip. And I know he's a good pass catcher. What does that say about his versatility and just how special he is as a player? Yeah, definitely scary right there going down to this. Like a little shovel pass, whatever it may have been. And he caught it, and then the ball was kind of behind him while we were still down the line of scrimmage. So I was just kind of looking at it, but maybe that got missed, go made to play. And that's what it is. It's just playmakers making a play. Does this game feel differently to you than the Green Bay game in terms of what you guys are able to accomplish to that offense? Yeah, like I said, this game felt like more of a true team win. Like I said earlier, there was still a law early there in the first half that we got to get out of. We got to be able to overcome. But as it goes, it was a true team win. It feels great for everyone to come in the locker room, come celebrating. Everyone be excited, and it was good. Yeah, it is. OK, they score, 149 left. Take us through your mindset, what you're thinking there for y'all to take the field. Yeah, they can go win the game. Don't try to force anything. You don't have to try to force anything. You've got plenty of time. Just take what they give you, which I did. They played a lot of off and soft, a lot of access. Banged a couple to Drake and just got the ball moving. First play, come out, drop back. They drop Bijan in the flat, just give it to him. He goes, makes seven, eight yards. And that's all it's about in two minutes, about keeping the ball moving, getting that first first down, never trying to force anything. And that's what we did. Like I said, our O-line did a heck of a job right there at the end, two minute, picking up all protections and not giving anything up. And we were able to take advantage of that. Des, to follow up from some of the questions Josh was asking, were you or the team aware of the comments that Jimmy Ward made during the week? And did those provide any additional kind of motivation? Or maybe not even that, but just a feeling you had a point to prove when he was talking about the offensive passing game? I didn't see anything Jimmy said. We get a couple of the defensive quotes, but usually it's from post-game Sunday or whatever, may have been, but no, I didn't see that. Drake and Kyle led you and catch us today. I think it's the first time they've done that. Is that a function of y'all trying to get them more involved in the offense? Or is that just a function of sticking with the plan, and that's how it worked today? Yeah, that's a function of going out there and taking what the defense gives you. Those are a lot of high low reads, and then a backer might have drove on the low route and just given it to him over the top of it. Couple go balls, couple D balls, couple balls that we targeted that we know we had matchups on, with them being a little dinged up at corner. And so it was just going out there, giving what the defense gave us. Like I said, different from the other weeks, never trying to force anything, not trying to do too much, and just playing the play as it comes. You made a few really nice downfield throws. I'm curious, was there one in particular that you were especially proud of in terms of the way you were able to read it or kind of let it develop? No, I wouldn't say the one I'm proud of or whatever, but a cool throw, just because he doesn't get the ball a lot was the one to Key Smith. Key Smith got through there. Wasn't exactly how we designed it up, but it worked. And obviously, that's obviously a big play for him to be able to go get that ball. And it was a big play for the offense as well. And then the throw to Drake in the last drive, can I have that out develop, and how do you make that throw? Yeah, I mean, that's a play that we've read. You can go back, watch film. That's a play that we've read multiple times, even in that situation as well. That's a play that when we know we've got to go get some, we're going to go do it. And it was just routine. The baggages, he kept staying up, gave me a window to put it in there to Drake. He made a play. And that's all it is. It's just really about letting the playmakers go make plays. The Texans were really doing a good job of stifling the run game. Was there any point in this game where you felt like, this game is on me, I've got to kind of lead this team and get the passing game going? No, that's when you start trying to force things. That's when things start going wrong, is when you feel like you have to go do something different than what you've trained to do. We've trained to obviously put our hand in the dirt and go run. And when that doesn't happen, obviously, pick the ball or go throw. But it's nothing that you have to be like, oh, man, we can't run the ball today. All we've got to do is throw it. I've got to try to force in here, force one there. Like, no, that's not how it is. And then also, we're going to keep running the ball. That's what we do. That's what we trust. So it doesn't matter whether it's stop us or not, we're going to put the ball in our best player's hands, which is Bijan, Tyler, CP, guys like them, and just be able to let them go make plays. In the back, Desmond, it didn't seem like the Texans could really handle your snap count today. Were you changing something up from what you've put on tape before? And how much does that help your offensive line when the defensive line's off balance like that? Yeah, I mean, you know, that was just changing up the snap count and what we have. And you know, in all those situations too, those were ones that we didn't take advantage of. I feel like a lot of those drives and which those did happen, we never got points on. And that's something that we have to do better at. We have to be able to take advantage of their mistakes. So when they jump off sides and give us free yards, we have to be able to go and put points on the board, which is something I feel like we could do better at. Yeah, Desmond, you might have been asked this right now. I jumped in late here. But how did you handle this week? Yeah, just like any other week. Put my head down, go to work. You know, we talk about all the time of growth mindset. And for us and a lot of players in this league, a lot of us try to kind of block out what's going on in the outside and really only care about what's going on on the inside of the building. And in our inside of the building, it's a growth mindset. It's come in every single day, get better. Don't worry about what's going outside and make sure that all 11 guys, all your brothers, that are on the team are trying to get better as well. Was there a specific person, whether it was in the locker room or maybe outside, that helped you kind of deal with the week or put yourself in that spot? Nope. I'll ask one more. I don't know if anyone asked you about Bajon's catch. Yeah, like, did you put him that right? Did you? Yeah, no, that's exactly where I aimed to put it, like, right here on his back. And then, no, you know, it was a little shovel play. He met a heck of a catch, obviously, right there. And like I said, I was a little nervous, you know, obviously seeing him going one-on-one, the defender with the ball still behind his back. He was able to roll it in, obviously, make a play. As quarterbacks, obviously, you always love those because those are easy to touch on passes, so. Thank y'all. Have safe travels.
