What do you feels going on? If you're play right now? I'm just making you know, there's times where I feel good and I'm making some mistakes. Um. It's as simple as that. You know, I just gotta keep being critical myself, keep watching the film, understand what's going on. Um, and you know, just I just to keep playing, keep going through it. Um. Obviously I haven't been myself UM, and I expect a lot of myself. But you know, I

gotta keep looking at keep learning. I've I've played this game a long time, so I know how to you know, address this and just keep moving forward, um and keeping that positive outlook. You know, I'm just making mistakes. I don't I have to go look at the film. UM. You know, for me, it's just getting back into rhythm, um playing ball. Uh. We had an opportunity to win the day. That's on me. UM. I made too many mistakes at critical times that hurt us as a team. So if I, you know, I clean that up, we

win this game. But I thought the Browns, you know, they played really hard. Um. They you know, they're improving that team. You can tell how they're flying around and what they're doing. Um. You know, they played real well obviously. Um, but yeah, I gotta, you know, continue to keep working. Don't look you how to clean pocket, you know, I mean, that's that's football. I have to do a better job of stepping into the pocket, moving around, protecting the ball

in the pocket. Um, that's on me helping those guys out. They fight for me every single down. So um, that's where you know, the field of the game, the rhythm of the game. Just continue to work the pocket, I mean the pockets not always. You're gonna have to work here a little bit. And I need to do a better job of that. What happens in the next two weeks to make everything to come together, you know what, sort of take a breath. I go see my daughter,

I see my wife. I do it. I always do, because this game sometimes can sort of you sort of get it and trapped in it. And that's that's part of it. Um. But for me right now, you know, that's the most important thing I'll do. And then I'll go back to the film, I'll go back to work. I'll be critical, and I'll keep working day in and day out with these guys, the guys in the locker room,

to to improve and fix what's going on. I mean, that's the challenge of sports is facing adversity, and you know we're facing the adversity in the preseason right now. We're trying to you know, figure out our DNA on offense and doing that. But you know, I have all the confidence in the world and everyone. I confident in

myself to continue to improve. And you know that that's the great thing about this team is you know we're going to continue to work together, lean on each other in this time, and we're going to be better for it. In the case that you do, do you feel like you guys can just snap your fingers in the offense just get rolling here after kind of I don't think you can just snap your fingers. No. Um, that's where you know, we'll get back to work. We have a lot of work to do. Um, it's not going to

be easy. But that's why we're here. That's why you know we're part of this team. That's why we're in the NFL is we know that we know that we have to be critical of ourselves and we have to get back to work, get back to the basics and just sort of you know, play our kind of ball and you know that's you know, moving the ball around, running the ball, throwing deep, throwing short screens, you know, just execution. We were we weren't clean on execution to night.

We haven't been as clean as we want to be on execution throughout the preseason and we know that, and so all the guys in the locker room, we're gonna get back to work like we always do and just continue this bond that we have happened with us, this message to the offensive that time. I mean, we just gotta pick it up. We know that. Um, he shouldn't have to say that, but you know, just that we have to pick it up. We have to clean it up, and we gotta put points on the board. We have

to help our defense out. They played lights out tonight and uh, you know, they kept us in the game, so we have to do a better job of helping them mount and putting points on the board. No, I don't. I know that this game is a process and that I've played this game my whole life, and I haven't always played great games. Um there's times where, uh, these are the toughest ones where you just have to keep battling. Um,

it really shows you what you're made up deep inside. Um, and I was gonna keep firing it no matter what I mean. I didn't want to throw any more picks, but I'm throwing them. I was gonna keep firing the ball. Um. You can't. You can't play with fear. Um. I didn't play as clean as I wanted to. But I know that, knowing me, I knowing this team, that we're gonna learn from and move forward. Um. There's a lot of great stuff to learn from from this game. Um. It's an

emotional game. It's not fun playing the way I did. I really hurt us tonight, But I know that I can improve, and I will improve. Some of your best games have followed immediately some of your worst games. I think that the game was before stame after that Dallas game. It's been a kind of a recurring feam any idea why and had to kind of work for those those times. That's just you know, you play this game, you're gonna be analyzed. Everyone's gonna analyze your every move. Everyone's gonna

look for perfection. And we're not perfect people. I'm not a perfect player. I have not had a perfect game, UM, and I never will. But you know, that's just sort of how it's gone. But I've learned a lot through those games. That's where I can lean on all those experiences, like I said, and you know, do what I did then and just continue to improve and you know, not be too hard on myself while being hard on myself, because you're too hard on yourself all the time, you're

gonna crumble. So, UM, I'm excited about getting back to work, working with the guys in its locker room. I'm optimistic about it. I mean there's a lot of learning tonight. I mean I was learning in this preseason game playing like that. I mean I build a database of information that I can pull from now. Um. And it only happened in and a half, so how much you know what? We had opportunities tonight to score and you know we we made mistakes. Um, we hurt ourselves. Obviously, you want

those guys to be healthy and be out there. But there's no reason we couldn't put points on the board tonight. You know, I made a you know, we had a turnover in the red zone. I I threw a pick in the red zone. Um, you know, and then the other terms that hurts us. Um, so we can't have that. We I mean, we can't expect to win with that many turnovers. We have to play a lot cleaner. Um. I thought there's a lot of good stuff tonight. I mean we're gonna you know, obviously it was a tough game,

but there's a lot of great stuff. I thought a lot of guys played well. Um, you know, we were able to move the ball on a couple of series and sort of get things going. And you know, we sort of show ourselves in the foot a couple of times. But I think that's where we're gonna look back and just improve and um be critical of ourselves in those moments. As you know, all eyes are on Parsonal. You said you want to get back. What's your mindset though, I mean we get ready. I mean we get ready as

a team. I do what I've always done. You prepare to play. Um. Obviously, you know there's a lot going on with this game in the last couple of weeks. But um, you go, I go back, I study film, I do my prep week like I've done. I get the body right. Um, continue to bomb with the guys in the locker room and get ready to roll tonight. Yeah, I think Deandres played really well. He's one of the guys that I thought played really well to night. Um,

he's played well throughout the preseason. Um for a guy who's newer to the team, I think he does a lot of great things. He's got a wide range where he can catch from. Um, he uses his hands well, one runs really good route. So I've been really impressed with how he's played. Yeah. Yeah, my foot sort of got caught and I was trying to get up, So that was unfortunate. Was saying that. The offense it's pretty

vanilla right now. I mean when you go into these games, you're just trying to work on your bass plays, your foundation plays, or how do you kind of approach your game playing line. Yeah, I mean preseason. Um, I mean we're still you know, we still plays right a role. Um, it's our job. It's my job to make sure that they're executed right. And UM, you know I didn't do my job, um the last couple of weeks to make sure that you know, we executed the plays at our

highest level. Um, that's something that is next week's I gotta get right a roles, All right, thank you,
