 Say what you got to make sure we finish stronger at the end of the day. It's still unfortunate that you lose a game, another tight game again. You know, all you can do right now is just look forward to these next couple of games and try to finish strong as you can. Short week, so we know we got to get back moving immediately. And hopefully we can place ourselves in a good position at the end of the season. Finish strong is the message from coach, but it seemed like you guys really finished half strong. It was kind of the start to have for the defense. What do you see in that in terms of that? I think just, you know, for us, as we started kind of figuring out how they were going and how they were moving, you know, I think, you know, we started getting on the roll, but, you know, at the end of the day, you know, you always want to, like I said, start fast and, you know, not give them an opportunity to be able to win games. And, you know, any time we can hold offenses to, you know, at least 21 in a lower or even 14 or lower, at least get an offensive chance to win games. So I think defensively, we just got to continue to just move forward and in the direction that we're moving, continue to keep getting create turnovers and, you know, doing little things like that in order to keep offenses off the field. So I think that's the biggest thing. It's the NFL. It comes down to one place so often. But it's been heartbreaking a lot of different ways for you guys this year. How do you describe this season? Yeah, man, this is kind of one of the first situations I've been in where, you know, it's every game is close. You lose every game that's close. So, you know, it just kind of, it gives you a good feeling of knowing that, you know, there's still some fight. There's still opportunities to be able to win games. It's just finding that whatever that is in order to finish games or to win games. So like I said, man, we just got to make sure we finish these next three games, man, and hopefully we can place ourselves in a good position. Last question for you, Rashan, is Coach Pease. We saw what happened in pre-game. What did you see? What were you guys told? And he's doing well, it sounds like, but just, yeah. What was that like for you guys? Yeah, I mean, it's always a big blow whenever your defense accordingly goes down. And, you know, my prayers go up to him as well, you know, a guy that, you know, we depend on as a defense, you know, to make the calls and put us in good positions. And I still think Frank Busch did a hell of a job as far as, you know, moving his place. I think just overall, man, you know, Dean is, you know, he's at the age right now, you know, to be able to, you know, do the things that he's doing at a high level, you know, it always hurts, man, to be able to have a guy like that go down. So, you know, I'm still going to be able to pray for him, you know, hopefully he has good health, you know, and hopefully we'll be able to use him for the next game. I don't think they went good at the end of the game, you know, we're trying to get Ws, and obviously that's not something that happened. And part of my play was the reason of it. So obviously I'm not happy at all about it. What happened on the play you won that last play for you? He poked out a fumble. How did you feel at the end of the game? I think they went great for the circumstances he was put in. I mean, the connection between the two of you, do you feel like that was there today? I mean, it's our first actual game in there, you know, so we can't really, we'll go back and watch the game and we'll figure it out. And were you playing that? Because it looked like you, you know, you knew, you know, something had to happen bad and kind of took some time before you got up, just working yourself through that fumble there. Oh, yeah, I mean... I mean, I'm not gonna be all happy about that. I just sold the game. It's hard. I'm a competitive person. For me to let the team down and let the fans down, it just sucks. I mean, I'm not gonna sit here and be all smiles and shit about it, but it's a hard one to swallow, hard to build a swallow. All right, thanks. Drake, you know, it so often comes down to one play and across the NFL. It's been a lot of turnovers on the offense, late in games. What's happened, you know, to lead to turnovers in the last two minutes in this last six games? You know, I honestly couldn't give you the answer to that. I could give you the answer to mine. My end of the game plays that haven't been so bright. I just got to be better situational, understanding where we're at on the field, having good ball security. It's, I've never caught a pass. 99.99% of people haven't, so I'm not being critical, but what is, what was the thing that should happen? Is it tucking it away? Is it, you know, carrying a different arm? Like what, when you look back on that, what's the, I should have done blank? I don't know, it's all still going through my head right now. I got to go back and watch film and figure that out. Still three games to go, still, you know, in it, but what's the message from coach? What do you guys take forward in these final few? Just grow and build as much as we possibly can. And what was it like to, you know, see Desmond out there, the connection you guys had, the one hand to catch, converting some third down, so what was that like for you? It was great. It was really, really cool to see. It was just dope to see him out there and playing football again. Yeah, man, I appreciate it. Thanks for your time. It didn't go the way we wanted it to go, you know, we prepared the right way throughout the week, just didn't execute the game plan. They were able to start both halves pretty strong. They started with a couple touchdowns in the first half. They scored to start the second half. How are they able to kind of get off the fast starts? We just, we just didn't get on and get off the field. We didn't keep a steady drive going in, you know, the first series, but those are just things that we just got to, you know, continue to strive for and get correctly, just, you know, start fast and finish the game strong. Flipside of things, they were able to start those, you know, start fast, but from there, was it adjustments you guys made to be so effective to string together some stops? Yeah, you know, it's a four-quarter game. We, you know, we pride ourselves on finishing games and not becoming complacent, even though things don't go our way. You know, we just, you know, strive to get things done, come in half-time, make changes and get things together, tightened up and just go out there and execute. A little different from the game, but what do you see before the game with Coach Pease with that situation? What did they tell you guys? I mean, it's good news that he's doing well. I got out of the hospital, but what did they tell you guys? What was that like? Right, glad he okay, for sure. You know, it was, it was as soon as we ran out on the field, it was a lot of questioning. We didn't really know who was down, but once they told us who it was, you know, it hit everybody. You know, it definitely took a toll on everybody, but in a situation like that with the game, we just had to try to block it out. You know, you know, start fast. You know, we was just trying to make sure we just hold it down still by Coach Pease. You know, he expect us to still do what we supposed to do. You know, that's just what we, what we continue to do during the game. Heard from other guys, you know, compliments for Coach Butch, how he handled things, but do you think not having Coach Pease does it affect communication? Does it affect things for you guys at all? No, no, no. Like you said, also with Coach Butch coming in, stepping in right away, you really couldn't tell. It was a drop off. You know, he was confident in what he was calling, making sure he had us in the right position. You know, we just had to make more plays than what we did. Last thing, man, it's been some God punches this year. How do you guys absorb those? How do you guys not get down with still three games to play? The one and only mentality, you know, just moving forward to the next games. Now we can do with this one, other than, you know, watch the film, make the corrections and just bounce back next week. Starts off pretty soon. No, it was good. I think there's a big momentum swing, big momentum swing, and then just getting our offense into a scoring position, then we ended up doing that. When Coach said, he's the guy that the defenders don't want to keep trying to tackle. That's the game goes on. Did you sense that today? Oh, no, for sure. But I think not just me, but the whole line, whole line receivers are blocking the tails off. I think that's what really sprung the runs, sprung my runs, sprung CPs runs, and all of the other receivers that ended up touching the ball today. In the touchdown run, what built clear for you on that, and then on the conversion where it looked like you bounced it out outside? Oh, yeah, we just needed a score. You know, I think in the huddle, everyone just had that mindset, and we ended up doing it, and I'm getting the team in a good position to have a chance at the end. What did you learn about this, and you actually saw them under game conditions? Oh, no, it was good. The other guy, I think, I think the whole team really, had a lot of confidence in them, and then coming into it, and then, yeah, shoot. I just have a lot of confidence. I have confidence in them, because I'll have me to learn as well. So, you know, just get in the room tomorrow, you know, watch the film, and then get better the next week. Did you get a sense, is anything, did anything feel different with him in the huddle versus the last 13 runs? I think he had a lot of confidence, he had a lot of confidence. Obviously, like, quarterbacks, gotta have, like, little leads on the offense, you know, I think, they all gotta have the amount of confidence coming into the huddle, and that leadership that he showed, you know, came in in the meet, and that halftime run, just like, hey, you know, like, you got you guys, you got you guys, and all that. So, you know, I think everyone felt that. And then, shoot, we're just close, you know, towards the end, towards the end of the game, but lost by three points, you know, we're just close. But, you know, we'll just learn from it, and hopefully, get all two more next week. He'll do that, Desmond. What about you, man? I guess, you noticed the difference between Desmond being in there and the offense, too, other than, like, the actual physical human? I'm not sure. I don't know. No, I guess not. And I just feel, not just a lot of leadership, a lot of leadership between both of them, so. The offense linemen in this post-game said that they like blocking. Like, what does it mean to you? Shoot, you know, that's the big boys, man. That's the big gents, is what I call them in the huddle and stuff. But, you know, it's just always a pleasure running behind the Ola, you know, they don't get a lot of credit, but they work in the trenches, they do all the dirty work, you know, make a mean CP, like, just do what we do. But, you know, we always try to make them right, and then we bought out to them. Do you feel more comfortable, more confident as the season has gone on? And if so, why do you think that is? Oh, hands down. I think just reps, just coming in, but, in fact, the first week, and then ended up playing, getting reps, getting reps, I think just practice reps and all that stuff, and shoot. Just getting, I think just getting more comfortable, you know, getting the speed down and all that, but I still got stuff to learn, you know, put it on me as well, so it should be good. Is there any part of what you've done this season, surprised you? Like what? I mean, just what you productive, from a production standpoint, from playing type, sample? I think, I wouldn't say surprised, because, like, even coming in, just always try to have the mindset of, oh, I'm gonna be the starter, so just having that mindset, and then just having that goal to be all around back as well. That's the full goal, you know, staying in on first, second, and third down, even on fourth down as well, so, you know, I think that's my goal that I'm still trying to strive to do. But that should be good. We're just, I think there's belief in what we're doing on offense, and everything's gonna come together. But our job, especially up front, is to just to keep straining in the run game, to keep communicating, and then in the pass game, allow those guys the time to have the opportunity to make those plays, and they're doing a great job. We just gotta keep getting better for them, weekend and week out, just to give them opportunities to make plays. How do you feel like Desmond did today? I mean, awesome. I mean, he's a rookie, and he did a great job. The communication as an offensive lineman, you know, everything you expect from a quarterback, he did a great job of, you know, came into the huddle, was confident, was clear in his communication, and then we got up to the ball, we could hear him, operationally it was great. I don't think we were, I mean, we can check, but I don't think we were pressed on the shot clock very often. And that's a testament to him and what he was doing in the staff, so he really did a great job, and everything we could ask for. How did he handle the good moments and the bad out there today? I mean, he's a competitor, and he has great confidence in himself and confidence in what we're doing. And I think something that he does great is he doesn't ride the emotions of things, you know, it didn't start out the greatest. And the situation of the moment, being critical moments, you know, he's not different than he was the drive before. Everybody in the huddle knows how important that situation is, important what it means, but he's steady. I think he did a great job in that and providing those communications of, you know, if you get in a stressful situation, it's really easy to let the fundamentals go out the window. And he did a great job, great job locking in and communicating with everybody. These last six have felt so familiar from the outside, looked so familiar from the outside. Does it feel that way at all? I mean, just feel like you're grinding, grinding, grinding, and then almost. You know, we need to find ways to win these games, and we know that everybody in this locker room knows that, this is not the position where we want to be, but all we can do is come to work. And I think that's the great culture of here. There's no quit in this team. There's no, there's nobody's having a bad attitude. And I think you guys see that you guys are around every day. And the way we come to work every single week and just our mentality is eventually it's gonna break. And we know we gotta just keep working at it. And we gotta win these tight games. What are these last three games about for you guys? I mean, I guess mathematically I have a look. I mean, mathematically the playoffs are still in the picture, but it's a small picture. Right, so what do you do? How do you handle it? I think you just focus in the moment. And we got three weeks and we put all this effort in through many, many months of work for three weeks. And it's really the final stretch. And if there's a chance of the playoffs, it's all the word working towards. But really now our focus has got to shift to Baltimore and doing everything we can to win this week and going out there and on the road in a hard environment into win. And that's all you can do in the NFL is you can't overlook anything. You can't, you know, you can have big picture and talk it, but you know, you have to be really focused in on the moment. And I think this team is doing that. How do you keep from letting these kind of cut, gut punches though, get you down? I think it just falls on the identity of the team and the belief we have in each other, the belief in what the staff wants from us, but also what we're trying to accomplish and everybody's working for the same goal. And so there's no internal fighting. There's no quite in anything that we do. Guys are really just coming in working and we know we need to win these games. We know we need to be better. But in terms of the mindset, I mean, guys are really working hard. What's Desmond like on the sideline in terms of kind of like what you were just saying, staying up. I saw in our video him coming over to the offensive line between drives, talking to you guys, hitting you on the shoulder pads. What was he like in that part of the game? He's steady in the moment, it's a testament to him. He doesn't ride the roller coaster or there's a ton of analogies for it, but of the emotions of the games, the highs and the lows, he stayed consistent and did a great job communicating. So the same thing for an offensive line, good play, bad play, you gotta stay in the moment knowing that the next play is everything. And he did a great job with that and really a great job communicating with us and it was a really good job by him. Last thing for you, Chris, is in these last five losses, you guys have a turnover in the final in two minutes and 30 seconds. Is there a common string there, a common thread there, or just how frustrating have those been? We just know how important it is to maintain the ball and those guys are doing a great job. I mean, they work, everybody knows it, but it's just the margins that we need to eliminate to win these tight games, but I don't know about, but we just gotta keep warming and as a team, just keep trying to eliminate that. Thanks, Chris. Yeah, no problem.
