Zach, what are your what are your thoughts right now? What do you do you take away from this game? Yeah, I'm disappointed, obviously, I'm seventeen nothing. I've kind of been in the same same belt a couple of weeks ago. Um, we gotta find a way to finish. I mean, it's not the ending of the game that I envisioned. Um, we gotta keep our foot on the gas. Can't have I had a mental mistake, little little things at the
end of the game. Get back to bite you, even things, even little mistakes that you're doing at the beginning to get other game. I'm back to by you. Tough, tough loss. Um, no other way to play it. Did you think the team was beyond just kind of not closing. Um, I mean, like I don't really reflect on that. Like I was just trying to take a week by week. Um, and when we're up seventeen points in the fourth quarter, we gotta we gotta win the game. I mean, that is
the bottom line. There's no other way to put it, and there's no there's no feel good around. Hey, we were up seventeen points. Out is really irrelevant. Um, when you find a way to lose, like that given dominant you guys worked throughout the four team. Where does this
loss for you guys? Yeah, I mean extremely difficult. I mean, we pride ourselves on being a physical football team, a team that wears teams down in the fourth quarter, and there've been two times on the year where we've just not finished and we gotta just play better in the fourth quarter. We gotta finish games. I mean that is the mindset. We gotta have the mentality that we're finishing everything we start and we start off hot. I mean, we were preaching for so many weeks we gotta start fast.
We got to start fast, um, and we're always finishing well at the time, but now it's almost the opposite. So we just got to get back to the basics, focus on little things that don't let those little things add up to um losses. At the end of the day, was the worst loss of his career. Um, it's definitely, uh, definitely up there. I mean I've been in unfortunately, I've been in some losses where we really didn't have a chance.
This one hurts because we were we freaking had it. UM. So I say, in terms of like gut wrenching, this is freaking top two for sure, top three, um, some other way to put it. Change n after that A d you know clinic? Um yeah, I don't know, I though. I mean I didn't feel when did I didn't feel gassed by any means. I can only speak for myself. We pride ourselves on being one of the most well conditioned teams in the league. Um, so in terms of running out of gas, I don't think that was this year.
I think it comes down to execution down like, well, like we let our foot out the gas. Uh No, I mean we just didn't execut. That's the bottom line. It's not like we were going out there and say, oh we're good. Uh, we're seventeen nothing, the game is over. Um, we just did next year. I mean, Theo's games have about executions, and they executed much better than we did in the fourth quarter down to stretch. Um. I don't know. I have to look back on the film. I don't
think much change. They kind of played two man on the third down the alshon um. But I mean those guys were making players all day too. So al Sean Dallas played extremely well. So he's gonna throw the ball too. Who's ever open um, and so it is what it is. I'm challenging it to bounce back, you know called trip later in the week. And yeah, I mean it's not a deal. Obviously, wish we had a home game. Um, I was. We were playing on Thursday. Honestly, get this
freaking game out of our system. But I mean Jacksonville is a physical football team, so and we just played a really physical football team. So we gotta get our bodies right, um, early in the week and then attack this week of practice. Not gonna be a week where we're just going through the motions by any means. We gotta freaking attack this week. Um, and starts on Wednesday. Was that defensive Carson? Oh yeah, Um, I'm not. It's really not worth talking about. It's not what worth wasting
my breath over it. Um, it is what it is. I thought you hit Carson. There's a handoff, So that is what it is. You talked about the physical challenge of being ready for somebody. What about the mental challenge of getting past what happened today? Yeah, I mean it it is. It is tough. I mean, we just gotta learn from it. We can't let this get our spirits down.
We got our whole season in front of us. I know we keep saying that after every loss that we can't get two down our whole seasons in front of us, but a level of urgency we just gotta go. We gotta find a way to win games. We're just letting games slip where we have no business losing. UM. And good teams, championship teams, like we said, and like we think we are, do not let that happen. UM. And
so we got attack this week of practice. We got attack the Jaguars on Sunday, UM, and then hopefully get some time off to rest our bodies at least the mess four press. Now, you guys see pressure. Um, I think playing in the city there's always pressure to win football games. I don't think, and from my perspective, I don't really I just try and go out there do my job to the best of my abilities. I don't really feel quote unquote pressure. UM. Playing in the city,
you want to do well because we have amazing fans. UM. The home home atmosphere is second and none, so I love playing here. The pressure is only to be the best football team we can be. It's not outside pressure. It's more internal pressure to be the best we can be. That's how I viewed it. UM. I'm not saying what he's saying is wrong by any means. UM. I want to make that clear. UM, but I can only speak
for myself. Overshadowed in a way that game end is the fact that Carson was having a phenomenal game and specifically you know the baulk up between the two of you, who can continue speak to that and he is really on it on a role together. Yeah, we thought going into the game there's gonna be opportunities for us to be successful individually. UM. He found me early, found me often early. UM. I just try to make the most of it. When the number was called, I thought we
were pretty efficient. That's that's the key stat uh that I look at is the efficiency the cat percentage. It's got to be well over sixty five percent, seventy percent seven plus um, and I thought we did that. Um. But it was all or not. It really doesn't matter. I would take zero catches for Jero yards and win a game. Zack. You guys are losing games now in which Carson has like a one twenty pass from ratings. I would not have thought that was possible. Before him
in the season. Yeah, Um, I mean we're losing games that we shouldn't be losing. When we're up seventeen points in the fourth quarter, Um, he gotta win those games. So we're up seventeen to three in the second half against the Titans, we gotta find a way to win those games. Um. And Carson's playing out of his mind. I always say that, you know, but he shouldn't have to feel like he has to carry this football team.
But the reality is he kind of is. Um. He's playing out of the probably the best I've seen him play, UM, coming off of injury as well. So it's it's really unbelievable what he's doing. Um, But we just gotta make plays around him. It's all three phases. It's not like the offense, defense, or special team is taking the blame. It's all three phases. It's gotta get it done.
