Um, just for caution. You know, I took a few hits. They just want to get something checked out. Uh the word, I'm all good. They said everything was good. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I feel good. Um, you know, I just felt like we were playing behind the sticks all day. You know. It seems like, uh, you know, we couldn't really anything go on first down. It was a second long. You know. I think some penalties put us in a second really long,
third and really long. And you know, I think the difference between the first half and the second half is we were much more efficient on first down in the second half. Um, you know, we played from ahead of the sticks. We got things going, you know, and then once we got a rolling, Uh, you know, we can't keep it that way. You guys are operating a pretty high level. Yeah. Um, you know that's totally coaches call me. Obviously. He felt good about the kick right there. Um, you know,
they had just stuffed us on third and one. I think, you know, that's the bigger issue if we can get it on third and one, that we're not in fourth and one. Yeah. Um, yeah, you know, we felt like with the way they were playing some of their coverages, you know, after we got into the game tonight, made some adjustments. Um, you know, we had linebackers and safeties you know, on sprawls almost all nine we have that we kind of like that matchup. Uh bad read that throw.
I mean it's just one of those things that can't happen. Um, you know, with that little time left and a half. Um, you know, I've got to be careful with the ball when we're back though, you know, we can't give them the ball with a short feel. I know you've played with a couple of preseason games obviously, you know what was it like for you to be back outs years two years? Um? No, I mean it was fun, you know,
even though we lost. You know, I think just getting back out there and playing forward then, Um, yeah, especially the second half was a blast. You know, once we got things rolling, we took the lead. I don't know if I've been that excited in a long time. Um, you know, and so it was good to get that feeling. And you know, hopefully, you know, next week we can start a little bit faster. And I think ourselves such
a big hole draining. I mean, you still had a chase to here to really like that and did not win tough. Um. Yeah, stuf, I think every loss is tough. Um. You know, the good news is just you know, it's week one, It's one game we've still got ahead of us. Um. You know, we got a short week, so we can get this one out of our minds. Quicker, he's proud of what's up? Drive? Yeah, what were you guys thinking? Um, really the same thing we've been thinking the past three
or four drives. Just get it going. You know, they had a hard time stopping us in the second half, and we felt really good about it. Um. You know, unfortunately, we just weren't able to get that first course down. He's a private came through the ball night. Was that the game play going? Um? Yeah, you know, I think I was a little bit surprised. But you know, when you dig yourself a hole and you go down, you know, twenty three at halftime, then you gotta throw the ball
in the second half. So you know, hopefully next week, you know, we can be a little bit more balanced. I think what we were doing, you know, I think we killed ourselves. Um, you know, too many negative plays. Um. You know, I wasn't good enough in the past game to get us going. Um. And then penalties. You know, it just seems like we kept putting ourselves you know, behind the sticks in the first half. What you were able to come back almost everyone, yeah, sometimes yeah, um yeah.
I think that just shows the fight that we have an offense, you know, the one drive, the seventeen play drive. I don't know how many penalties that we overcame on that drive, but you know, we just kept going. And I think it's a credit to our guys. You know, sometimes an offense, you get a penalty inner really put you down and you know you kind of stall out. But you know, we kept fighting, kept grinding through them. Was freaky there. Um. You know, like I said earlier,
I think we played ahead of the sticks. You know, when we use our tempo after we get that first burst down and that defense gets tired, Um, we're really dictating everything out there. But in the first half, we just struggled, you know, to really get into our tempos at what kind of weapon is? I mean, what are you guys thet um you know, just I think they were scared as scrolls running you know, buy them on the wheel route and so they were getting us a
lot of stuff underneath. And then finally we got them on one of the wheel routes. But anytime we get scrolls matched up one on one and to match up, we like, yeah, all right,
