okay, good seeing everybody. Um really injuries uh Pat obviously um tweaked
his ankle um luxurious need hurt his nose. Uh Pat was able to, he came and
got x rays, everything done and then was able to come back in um and then
large areas did the same thing, he was able to make sure nothing was set and
in *** good position and came back in so all in all *** heck of *** game, we
appreciate the fans and uh they were they were incredible. Um I thought both
sides of the ball uh and special teams did *** nice job tonight. Um Special
teams was against one of the best teams in the in the league. Special teams
wise, probable um returner and uh that last part was *** beautiful thing,
bucker uh very seldom start with special things but bucker um kick the
ball well and he also tackled well so that was that was *** big tackle and
then um offensively I thought the you know the guys, I thought the whole
group played well, it was great to see chad come in um in that backup role and
I thought everybody kind of stepped their game up and and had so much
confidence in chad and um he he executed but I thought everybody around
him did *** nice job too. And then uh Pacheco with uh 95 yards or whatever he
had there. I thought he did *** tremendous job running the ball. Um
Kendrick, likewise he he did *** nice job too, so and then uh Kelsey every
time I stand up here. I feel like he breaks another record. So he broke some
record and then he also had 98 yards and two Tds and did *** great job there
defensively. Listen, my hat goes off to the defense, you can't move forward in
the NFL playoffs uh if your defense doesn't play well. And I thought from
the DBS to the defensive line to the linebackers, I thought everybody was
flying around making plays and uh I just again my hat goes off to the guys
for that. Um They're incredible on third downs for *** second downs, you
know, just played *** great great game all the way around. My hat goes off to
stags and E. B. And tobe for the jobs that they did and the coaches um you
know, I wanted to mention Tony in the mix there too. I thought he had some
nice plays for being kind of *** new kid on the block. He he had some nice
plays. Are young Dbs again stepping up Watson with the the interception. Um I
mean what what *** great job. The two turnovers were obviously huge for us
and um again, great team win. So that time is yours? Well, it was hard to get
them out of the game first of all, uh wanted to fight. And so uh we got him
out, went to the x ray, got an X ray looked at taped. Uh he came back and he
said he felt good enough to be protected? You know, where where he's
not gonna um get hurt, That's obviously the primary thing. Um And he felt like
his mobility was good enough where he could do that. So um we did *** few
little things with him on the sideline and see where he was at, put him in and
it was *** short leash. So if I felt like he was wasn't able to handle it,
he would have been out and back in any, so like that affected him in any way in
the second half injury.
Um It didn't look like it, but I thought he did *** pretty good job when
you put when you put when you go back in, does that change what you wanted to
do offensively or is it just, you know, keeping it, we basically kept
everything the same, you know, just kept it going
what we were doing before.
Yeah, we'll see, we'll see. I don't want to jump to things right now, but
let's just see how it goes here the next couple of days. It's gonna be sore.
I know, but let's see where he's at, he's had this before and uh I was able
to keep pushing through actually against Jacksonville whenever ***
couple of years we have the same same type of deal. So he pushed through that
um the main thing is is that he's safe and that's that's uh as safe as you can
be on the football field. So, um, yeah, that's it. That's the important thing
coach. Were you surprised it was so close? You had told us expect that.
Yeah. When you start doing, you guys do this, when you start doing the studies
on this game this round right here. These games are one score games
normally. So, um, I mean it's *** high high percentage and um, so you buckle
it up for four quarters and you know, it's gonna come, I will tell you, I
think Doug's done *** phenomenal job. Their team is better than they were
when they played us before and the sky's the limit for them. I mean
they're young and they believe in what they're being taught and they play hard.
So, and they're well coached, you know, which is most about dr
I'm having *** hard time placing that drive right right now with Yeah, yeah.
So that was one to answer Adam's question about mobility. I mean, he did
*** nice job on that. Having to move around and make that throw. Um, so uh,
yeah, I mean, there were so many good, there were good plays within the mix
there of everything that was going on. I'm blending all the plays, but that's
all right.
Yeah. Also you first put Patrick back in the yeah,
yeah,
yeah. That kind of told me he was okay. He was thinking he was okay. But yeah,
I didn't want him to do and no, I didn't want to do that, but I didn't
tell him, you know, you can't tell somebody that if they can't do that,
then they gotta get out, get out of the games.
Yeah, phenomenon,
The best thing about that was everybody trusted chad, that's the best part,
that's the way he handles himself and the confidence of guys having them. I
thought they all stepped up. The old line did *** nice job. Well, first of
all, I didn't get the ball out on time and, and the line did *** nice job. The
run game, Pacheco had the long run. Um it was beautiful and they blitzed on it
and he kind of got bumped back and kept going like he does, and uh put together
*** nice run, nice drive on the whole, the whole thing, but chad uh you know,
the guys, the guys loved chad and they play for him. So it was, it was ***
great deal.
Patrick obviously depends *** lot on Travis *** day like this, where
Patrick's got some, you know, other challenges. How much do you think that
was just paramount?
Yeah. You know, everybody contributed, uh marquis, I mean, we had all the, we
had *** few places for Mark West and they did *** good job, rolling the
coverage that direction and, and he didn't hang his head, he just kept
battling and battling, battling and and ends up with *** big touchdown for us.
Um, but you could say that about juju. Juju went through the game, comes up
with *** huge catch on the sideline there and had *** tremendous amount of
trust in him to throw the back shoulder throw
three. Did you get *** sense on the sidelines? And everyone wanted to up
their game when Patrick was hobbled and there was *** possibility he may not
return. Yeah, I'd probably tell you yet. I mean, the guys were, I mean they're
very protective, particularly the offensive line in general. And so, you
know, they were hooting and hollering about that, that nobody touches the
quarterback.
It would be like me trying to ask you not to ask *** question.
No, it's listen, he's *** tough kid and so he wanted to be in there, He wanted
to be competing and uh and that's, you know, it's *** tribute to him and his
competitiveness. However, um you know, you gotta make sure he's okay
physically okay where he can protect himself and if if he can't then he
can't play, you have to go with the next guy, but he's *** tough nut and
he's very, when I tell you he's competitive, he's very, very
competitive.
Yeah, we've got *** couple of guys there that have played quarterback and
college, number one is one of them. So, um, you know, he would have been
probably number one up. Alright, thank you
