 What was that, the block punts? Well, I mean, it's just execution on one, and I think they made a really good play and timed up the motion and was able to get in there on the second one. First one of the four guys overloaded, and we got to get some depth, and again from the picture, I would say that Stoney's got to be able to take it and help us out. I don't know that to be sure. I know that we're angled off and that he overloaded. You can't have punts blocked and think that you're going to win games and you know all the other things and punt and give credit to the defense going out there and playing and getting stops and ask the guys to fight at the beginning of the week. And that's exactly what they did. It was unfortunate that they just made one more play than we did. The motion man on the second one, what needs to happen then? We just needed to make sure that we protect our punter, protect our quarterback and affect their quarterback and affect their punter. And that's what needs to happen whether we got guys that we're responsible for and making sure that we get those guys blocked and that the operation's clean. Is there anything you can tell on the extra point as far as ten? He'll be in the whole world, is it just a miss? I mean, just missed, he was on the left ashen. Well, clearly Ryan did a nice job on the second one. Appreciate his ability to come in there and we're going to talk a lot about mistakes and those happen. I'm going to try to find a way to continue to get this team to fight like they did today because that was, until we obviously lost, it was, I would say, a pretty impressive effort to be able to compete in the back and forth and give them credit as well. But proud of the way that we fought and we lost. Was that your message to them in the locker match or was that your message? Asked them to fight at the beginning of the week and they fought. They didn't give in, took a bunch of punches, gave some. Unfortunately, they're at the end, those add up and they made a play. What can you say about that? I didn't play well enough to win, but they compete and I'm proud to coach them. When they compete like that, you know, some good football in there, I'm going to try to find it and eliminate the stuff to get you beat, which is certainly missed opportunities, giving up X plays. In the quarterback, it hit and fumble and having punts blocked, but there's also a lot of really good stuff in there as well. What do you know about Derek and what do you say about his game prior to getting hurt? That, you know, I thought we executed the ability to run football there and most of the time, most of the day. Derek ran hard, it was fun to watch. Won't know much other than he wasn't able to return. You had some good moments, but had a long stretch about how to kind of get some drive together. So did they. So did they. Were you able to see what happened from the last X play to Pierce? Was that just a one-on-one matchup? Yeah, it was. Got behind us and well thrown ball and made a play. Did it seem enthusiastic about the penalty that set that up? Well, I thought that was a little quick. You know, I mean, I don't know, it's two guys, you know, released on the sidelines. Obviously, who would be enthusiastic about that? Asked if it was two-step process. If you saw the illegal contact in 90 minutes into the game or 80 minutes into the game, it's a good time to call the first illegal contact of the day. Obviously, it wasn't illegal contact that happened in the end zone, but is it just, are you getting frustrated with the lack of consistency in the- I think Hop's got to do a little bit more on it. And I think it's, again, what we're coaching there and I can tell you is trying to come back and create that contact and get, you know, two arms on the other side of the guy. And because if not, then I think you make it a judgment. And if you're able to come back, create contact, get two arms across the guy, then that pretty much eliminates most of the doubt. What do you say about Lavis at this point? That he competes his ass off. And they're just like most everybody else. But, you know, you see him finish in and go in the car as a fumble and all the things that you preach and you talk about finishing longer than a guy with a ball and somebody made a mistake and, you know, will went and made up for it or they had a positive play. And, you know, we got a lot of guys like that and some to rally around and build around. You mentioned trying to find positives. The red zone defense, specifically the red zone, what was going right for you, you know, more before? Yeah, and their success that they've had in the red zone lately, they've done a nice job and, you know, our guys were ready to defend as long as they needed to. And I love that about them. I love that attitude and that approach. And they're communicating the, you know, the different combo plays and, you know, stopping to run and not letting them run it in and then being good on third down and, you know, try to screen probably what they thought maybe four down territory or slip a screen against pressure and made a play there and, you know, unfortunately they were able to, you know, find them in the end zone there at the end. Craig was ready in London when Phillips fielded that punt right before the half and his unit today wasn't ready for either of those two situations. What's his culpability? I don't know what culpability means, but we have to be better starts with me making sure that everything that we do is sound and, you know, there's a level of execution. And then, you know, obviously, you know, be able to identify whether, you know, we've got, you know, scheme issues or we have to move some guys around or, you know, make some minor adjustments. I mean, it was just, and that's the case in all three phases. After you, what goes to the court? It all is on me. It all, it starts with me. And, you know, again, when we lose, it's, you know, you put it on me. Obviously that's not good enough. We know we have to be able to protect our punters, our kickers, our quarterbacks. So, you know, we just lose games by having those things happen. What was the thought process going into this game as Kyle Phillips was a healthy scratch when you played Colton Dowell over him? And didn't play Colton Dowell over him. Jeffery Simmons and you lose to Eric Hedrick. I argued with two leaders on both sides of the ball. And yet, both those units found ways to push forward without those guys. Yeah. Is that the biggest thing you saw? I thought they, again, we competed and Tajah competed. And, you know, guys, you know, they made some plays. We came back and I'm proud of the football team. We lost. We lost a tough game, hurt for the players because there were opportunities for us to give in circumstances, situations. Guys were into it on the sidelines. Just unfortunate, we, you know, didn't win. What was the touchdown? Wallace had the unsportsmanlike condo. You took him out and then the next play, there was a touchdown there. Was that a miscommunication or was it just? Probably just an execution. I threw the ball over our head, you know. Wasn't a miscommunication of the taunting. Wanted to make sure that K-Von, you know, was able to calm down and explain. And, you know, both those safeties play and both of those guys, you know, are going to be expected to execute and help us. And, you know, wanted to explain that to K-Von and make sure that, you know, that the message was clear that I want you to play physical and be emotional and celebrate with your teammates, not point at the other team. What could be done to keep these receivers from getting behind and excuse me, the DBs and so much? I mean, because it's happened like twice today and it's happened frequently. Yeah, I guess we'll have to back up more, you know, play some cover two more than what we do. How'd you see it for a moment? I think it's demeanor has been great. And, oh yeah, I mean, I think that, you know, it's a, there's a fine line, you know, about, you know, accountability. I think it's, you know, at this point in time, you're trying to fix problems or give them things to look for. Hey, we hit this and be alert for this or pressure adjustments and all those things that come with playing a rookie quarterback and, you know, and just as, you know, six-star to whatever it is that they come up. I think it's demeanor has been great on the sidelines, the ability to be upset and then be able to quickly, you know, upset about the drive and then, and get back and talk with Charles, talk with Tim, talk to the receivers, talk to the alliance. So, you know, that's all a process and I think that he's handling it well. Showing emotion is, it's all part of it. He's got his fears, he's got him up. Do you like the competitiveness of him trying to hurdle a guy to get the first down or do you rather your quarterback not put himself in that type of situation? I mean, you got to have something else, right? We all think that that's probably not what you'd want. You know, again, you love it and then those aren't going to end well. You know, I mean, the next time the ball comes out and the next time there's, you know, an injury and I think that there's ways to, you know, gain actually yards and try to use the rules, you know, to your advantage and making sure that you're protecting yourself, sliding, giving yourself up, you know, going forward. Yes, you appreciate the competitiveness. I think we all knew that for that, but you know, it's all so hard and again, you just don't rep it in practice and so he probably made a reaction and you just have to be careful. I think the more of those that occur, you know, I don't think the odds are in your favor that it ends well. For the first few years, maybe a silver lining in the way he kind of stepped up when Derek went down, both, you know. Right, I'm going to know about silver lining. Like we know that Tajé has, you know, the ability to make people miss. They have the ability to catch the ball and you know, we've seen him protect. So again, very, very, a lot of confidence in Tajé and what he's can do and how he can help us. Which three determined pitch count form, was that something? Yeah, just had been out three weeks. We talked about it pretty much all week and I wanted him to try to get back into it but there is also a level of volume, you know, in the game plan that we felt like what was reasonable for him to be able to execute and have confidence in. You know, player hadn't been in any meetings for three weeks, you know, was in a few meetings here leading up to this week and practiced and so I think it's a good place to start. Hopefully we'll be able to ramp that up and get him more as he's comfortable and that was what we tried to do. Any word on Jeff? Wasn't able to finish the game so that's all I got for you. And it was, you know, Colton Diles made an impact on special teams. That wasn't a decision. Colton Diles was gonna be active as long as he continues to have an impact on special teams as a wide receiver. You know, and we only have 48 guys that we could take to the game and have to look at, you know, what their role is, is potentially gonna be in the game. To answer your question. Thanks for doing much, much better here. What can you really say about that? I gotta thank our fans. I mean, they brought it today. Definitely felt on a lot of their drives, our defensive drives that, you know, was good energy there. So I think, you know, we feed off that and we're definitely comfortable here, but I mean, I feel like it's not a big difference. It's weird that, you know, we haven't been able to win one on the road yet. Ah, yeah, it's tough. I mean, it's the NFL. It's a battle, especially these division games. And we knew it was gonna be a street fight all week. And I was proud of how we fought. And at the end of the day, they got the best of us. And it sucks, but we're gonna keep pushing. And yeah, it's disappointing, but all you can do is just keep rolling. Another week where you guys start pretty strong and then come out of the half kind of flat. We got it going eventually today, but what is it about falling flat at the beginning of the second half of this game? Yeah, I gotta attribute that those stagnant drives to my play, especially I'd say the second and third ones, side opportunities to convert there with either getting my eyes back and just progressing a little faster. And I had to hop on both of those and just sucks when you miss those and you watch it and see the picture. And yeah, I mean, just, I think three, three knots in a row and that's just not good football. And it gotta be better. One of those deep passes, you went and hop, like you guys had a conversation afterward. What did you see on there? What did you tell him? It seemed like you were pretty adamant. I was just a little miscommunication, just I thought I was doing one thing, he ended up doing the other. And I still gotta give him a better ball and sort it out, but just making sure that we're on the same page going forward. Is that something we'll be able to do? Oh yeah, I mean, I just, we hold each other to a high standard. And he's, I mean, I'm allowed, I allow him to express his feelings towards me. And I feel like, you know, vice versa. So I'm just getting more comfortable with my relationship with him and everyone else on the team. I'm just trying to get us into spots to win games. And if that means getting on somebody, then that might be how it is. But, you know, just trying to find a way to make the relationship, you know, is make sure that the relationship with the person makes sense for how to get the best outcome. And that might be different for one guy to the other. Michael said, you can picture an ass off. I know they're probably gonna talk to you about this. Maybe even the helicopter hit you, took it. You can continue playing like that. I guess even though you maybe put yourself in all the way sometimes. Yeah, time and a place. I mean, that was one of the situations where third down, I knew I was right at the stakes. It's either lower your shoulder and do something else. And I, instincts took over, but gotta be careful for sure. And not put my body, you know, at risk. Have you played over time? Did you think you had a free play on the one that you kind of pulled back and ended up scrambling or whatever, but looked like kind of- Which one, sorry? Over time, the defender kind of leaned forward. You went and play action to Taji. Oh, no, no, I just, we ran the play that we had and with the pressure had to end up dirtin' it, but it sucks cause we had that, you know, obviously a trick play called there and with the off sides, you know, it showed our hand. It's funny, like they ran the same play earlier in the game and it sucks that the off sides happens on a play like that, you know? What do you guys score on, sort of touched on the first driver that is for some all year that it happened? Was that a lot of stuff that was kind of scripted all week on those four quick plays or how did that all come about? I mean, we were confident in our openers we knew, especially those first two out in that second when we had an opportunity to really catch them sleeping and Shig did a great job of getting into the pocket and had a really clean edge and got it to him and then we were rolling from there. So it's great to start a game off with a touchdown and good job by Tim and our offensive staff by just getting a good script of openers for us and just kind of be more consistent. Without Henry and Wiley, did you feel kind of those injuries mounting a little bit, especially in overtime? Oh, no, I think Ty J and everyone else who ended up getting in there, stepped up and did a good job. But, you know, I'm hoping that they're able to recover and be back with us here pretty soon. But obviously, you know, doesn't hurt to have Terry Henry out there. So, but I think Ty J held his own and did a great job. Losses are always very difficult, but like does this one kind of carry a little bit of extra weight to it given the injuries and being so close with so many different opportunities to win the game? Yeah, I think personally, it's the, I feel like it's the worst I've played as a Titan and just kind of be watching the film, gonna make me sick just with all the mistops that I had out there. So I think just personally for me, that's what makes it feel as bad as it does and still having a chance, even despite my play to be able to go and win it and then get in the field going over time. It's deflating and it stinks, but I mean, I gotta do what I can to be better for this team. Is this something you would have done a month ago or do you feel like you've started to earn that right? I don't think I'm earning it, I mean, earning it per se. I just, you know, it's more of a comfort thing. And like I said before, this early this week in this press conference that before practice, like I'm still trying to find my way as a leader and whatever my role is could be different now than it is in a couple of weeks, but whatever it is, I gotta make sure it's natural and that I'm able to, you know, get through to these guys and get the outcomes that we're looking for. Second week at Rome, how was them and how you evaluate the way they did? No, I felt I did a good job. I mean, they gave me the opportunity to step up in the pocket today and I need to help them out with my throws and decisions and, you know, either my arm angles or how I'm moving in the pocket. So they did a good job, gotta keep the confidence in them. And it's nice that, you know, we have that continuity going from week to week with these guys. Well, some of the veterans were basically pushing you to be more of a vocal leader, which you were this week. What are you gonna be saying to the team now that you're sitting at four and eight the rest of the way? What's gonna be the message that you're gonna give to the guys? To keep pushing. I mean, you can't look at your record to determine how you're gonna go out there and play. Circumstances can't define, you know, your work ethic and how you go out there and the standards you hold yourself to. Like you were coming into work every single day to dominate that day and do it again the next day and do it again the next day and hopefully have it translated into Sundays, which we couldn't do today, but I mean, we're just going out there to win every single Sunday and that's all we can do.
