We're just tired of hearing that every every game. Like, man, we gotta stop stop doing it to ourselves, myself included, everybody. We're just putting ourselves in bad situations and having a fight harder than and we need to. I mean, if we take advantage of where where teams are giving us and kind of even a playing for we're more more so moving the playing field towards them when we're fall start and dropping catches and just just doing a lot of things that we don't normally do that you don't
see out of the championship team. So it's putting up something. Yeah, coach emphasizes every every day at practice, and I mean if we do it in practice, we're gonna do it in the game. And it's just how it goes sometimes. And he doesn't ever black off of it or back off of us, because you know, coaches know what transpires into the game, so they stay honest. And we're just tired of hearing them. We gotta we gotta chance. We're just we're tired of beating ourselves and losing two teams
that we should beat, but we're beating ourselves. And I know this this week is gonna be used for us on let's shut all that out. Let's let's just play our game and play how we play. And that's that's what we gotta do. If I won't hear no more, we keep doing it, We're gonna keep hearing it. So yeah, do you like a focus? That's all it is, like a focus, like lack of execution. So like last year, we were executing and no matter what happened, we persevered.
We didn't care where we're third and twenty third and fifteen. We never looked at each other and kind of doubted. And I feel like we have to get back to that. That swag, even when we did shoot ourselves in the foot last year, was a different mindset. This mindset, we're getting down on ourselves. We're losing our focus, and we're losing the task at hand. So it looks like often Carson's dropping back and guys are on them right away, and the other times we'll drop back and what time
and he's holding the ball for a while. So it's getting out what's what's going on there? I mean, I'm not really a quarterback, so I don't know where he's looking at. And I know I just know we don't want him getting hit period. We don't want that guy under pressure. We don't want him on his back at all. So whatever it's causing it, we got to fix it. I mean, I don't know what's what he's looking at or what he's trying to do back there, but I
know he can't. Our job is to protect him and keep him off the ground and keep him out of pressure. And we just gotta fix it. To get down in a game like that and have to try to fire with that, it's it's on us, it's not it's not on them. It's on us if we if we play, if we come out and play and have a fast start, this game isn't close. I believe we came out and we had to work our way up and oftentime. In
this league, it's hard to do that. It's hard to fight back and hard to come back, and even as close as we got today, it's hard to do that. That's hard to get done. So I feel like we gotta eep start. Even in the playing field. We can't keep shooting ourselves on the foot, giving them, giving the team things. We got to take care of ball. We gotta take the ball. We gotta run the ball. We gotta stop the running. We just gotta do basic better.
