Coach. First of all, let's talk about the issues you're having when protects his Carson sack five times last week, four today, Um, what's happening with that? I really think you can attribute it to about three different things. It could be the offensive line just getting beat YEP, it could be the defense obviously with their rush lanes, and uh, maybe the coverage on the back end. And sometimes sometimes
we put a sack on the quarterback. And we know, we know, as active as Carson can be a lot of times, you know, with him scrambling and getting out of the pocket, sometimes he goes down and you know, it's just things that we've got to continue to address. We continue to work. We pride ourselves and picking up whether it's a blitz or a game up front and uh, and try to get better. What's most disappointing to you about this law is hard fought and certainly no lack
of effort. It's never the lack of effort. Probably the biggest thing is how we kind of kind of let
them back into this football game. We had an opportunity to really I think kind of put them away there in the third quarter when the offense went down and scored and kind of felt the tides changed just a little bit and had a chance to I think just kind of almost win the game at that point, and we let them back in it with a touchdown drive and then I think they scored three their three last possessions there in the second half, and um, we were fortunate to tie it up and go it over time.
But you know, that's kind of the thing that that's kind of glaring right now, and we just got to go back to work on Tuesday and I'll get ready for the next one. You started the game with the vertical passion game and deep shot. Took to Nelson down to feel. Was it something that that you saw in your preparation that led to that? That was two things. One, it was something that that I had seen and we had seen as a staff and kind of based on formation and how they were going to come out and
play it. And then two, um, it's just my mindset going into this football game, staying aggressive in the passing game.
I honestly quick I felt like, you know, the first couple of games, maybe because of our injury situation or whatever, it was just uh, um, you know, maybe maybe not feeling myself just a little bit, and I really wanted to give the offense an opportunity, and a lot of that's on me as a play caller, so I take responsibility on that and so that therefore, this game for me was was about I wanted to attack a little a little deeper down the field and take shots, and
we had opportunities. With Nelson, we had opportunities. I think you know, all Sean played extremely well down the field. The tight ends played well. So it was good to see. You mentioned al Sean. How important is he to this offense? What difference did he make today for this offense? Well, you saw it. You saw the big physical receiver out there, and uh, that was really good to see. The touchdown
catch was it was a thing of beauty. Uh you know, a couple just hitch route, slant routes, I mean just just putting the ball on a big frame target like that and then his catch after or run after catch. Um, it's just it was just a there was a shot in the arm for the offense and it was great to see him out there.
