Is there any kind of explanation that you guys are probably that probably that, um, you know, along the same lines, even if you hit them at the waist, if you slide down, they're gonna call it. But that doesn't mean it's a good rule or should have been calling. I mean we're probably we're probably off the field or they're out of field goal range if that, if that doesn't get called. So that's tough. So the strike zone is

they're saying it's near below. How tough to sit for defensive ends and the kind of cool be a cool barrel? It's hard. I mean, you know because if if you get a quarterback in the waist and you slide down, which can happen if you're off the balance because pass rustlant's hard. You know you're gonna slide down. You know it's on the quarterback down to protect itself to get down. In my opinion, you got somebody on your ankle, do you just just get down? I wouldn't aanc you to

answer to Michael like did you count that? Answering with showy coonstration or work. We're frustrated because you know he had a good rush, made a good play, um, and you know again that can that can affect the outcome of the game. So um. But you know, there's a lot we could have done as a team that the reps had him to do with so good as rush I did today, I thought, you know, when the game was in sync and we were, especially in the first half, we were we were tattooed him a little bit. I

mean we were getting there quick. So you know, I got to look back at it. Once the game was in phase in the second half and they were just trying to run the ball and control the clock, it was harder to get back to him. But you know, again, I don't I don't have any doubts about our ability to rush the pass around this team. Seem like there's one more you constantly dip done to you or something. Yeah, what happened there? Uh, you know, just trying to make

a play on the ball. He looks like he's about to loft it to you know, it looked like a screen to me, So it looked like he's gonna eat it. Trying to get up. Um, but I got to force him back inside. He ducked up a nerve and back inside to keep picked up like two yards for the first hound. So you know, I'm kind of stay. You can't jump, but it's easier setting done. It happens a

lot so because it needs to be refined. The rules need to be from building more probably So, I mean a lot of guys are coming into balance, try to hit the quarterback and four second guests on ourselves. We don't know where to hit him or if we should hit him. It's in certain situations. So it's it's it's gonna be tough, but I guess we've got to adapt unless you have to enforcing them, you know, enforcing this kind of if you can't like extra force them after

the tackle on the ground, it's really hard. It's hard enough getting the quarterback downs. It's hard to get them in a perfect spot, and then the land on. It's really just a step to adapt. Are you actually thinking about that while you're on there? Are you able to think about that? And yeah, you're trying to, but you know, these are great athletes. We got to tackle out there, even quarterbacks. So um, you know it's hard to split second to make that decision, but just think about that.

Two three, At what point do you start to be concerned about, like to do the brand of football you're playing, the style, or the record. What do you mean by that? Are you more concerned about how you guys are playing with the fact that you're two and three? I guess sorry, I mean we're too on three because we're playing by So that's one and the same
