his team's performance in their effort to get to 6 and up.
We got to play a complete game
we know we got to play a complete game with and and
what's exciting about being 6 and 0 and not have planned
a complete game yet in my opinion
and in players will tell you the same as that. You there's
only room to get better, right? And that's our goal. And so
you know, if I felt it coming,
if I felt it coming, I do. So I'd try to do something but I'm
not sure. I think every time we We get ready to go for a drive.
I look at the offense, I look at Jalen and I look at AJ, look
at Devonte and I look at Dallas and
look at that offensive line a mile Sanders and I'm like,
we're got a chance to go score right here, right? No matter,
no matter what the situation, that's a heck of a defense
right there
man. That's a really good defense. Parsons the Lawrence
digs. Those are those are prime time, they're really good
players. So they made it hard for us
but, you know, I every time I have confidence going out there
just because of who we got in the huddle,
It's funny. We hear that all the time.
Team needs to play a complete Game. Needs to play a complete
claim. If, if that happened, the final score would be fifty
three to ten like
you don't have to play a complete game to win. I think
what happens is
coaches see how well a team can play and you put a few drives
together. You put a half together, you put a quarter
together and that's enough to ultimately win,
but then you have to still sweat it out.
Out I think
every coach would love to get to a point where they're up 38
23 late in the third quarter, they can empty the bench and
they could just relax which of course makes that not
a complete game
because you deliberately take your foot off the gas pedal
late but that's where they're trying to get its perfect start
to finish, there's no mistake but it doesn't happen because
the other team always has a plan
that directly conflicts with your plan
and you're not going to win every play. Every Drive, every
moment Not going to play a complete Game unless you're
practicing against are. That's the only way you're going to
play a complete game in the NFL.
Okay. I mean, did you
just explain how many here every week? But we hear about
every week, we want to play complete Game. You're never
gonna play a complete game. So why are you trying? Just
frickin take the win and don't whine about not playing play
game.
It's not a whining about play every week. Somebody saying
what are you doing bleep game? I don't understand why you say,
you want you doing this? Cuz like bother High School
football know, my high school football coach used to say this
and I think
that this is what coaches are trying to say, when they're
talking about a complete game. Strive for Perfection. And you
know that Perfection is impossible,
but striving for it is not. That's why you strive for,
that's why you play the game. You don't play it to just play
it. You play it so that you can
shoot at the height of her term that you possibly can.
I didn't just, I didn't completely quote, oh, I didn't
say you play to win. You play you do, but you play it soothes
that you can do everything that you try to do. You want to
completely execute your plan?
And yeah, you don't want to have so many flaws, you know?
Know that things are going to happen as players. Always say,
those guys get paid to write. As you just said, they have
a plan and everybody's got a plan until you get punched in
the mouth but you have
to be able to do what you can do
to win. And if you talk about a complete game now you're want
to keep guys motivated. You want to say hey we won but
there are still ways we can get better because if you don't get
better,
then you're going to end up like the Arizona Cardinals,
where you start out 10 and 2 and you end up losing
the division and then you play a non-competitive playoff game.
Los Angeles Rams. You have to continue to elevate the bar
every single week and that's why they keep talking about
complete games like
this. So basically what you're saying is all this talk about
playing a complete game, is a con. It's a grift on
the players, keep them from
telling me you're telling me. It was a ruse to get guys to
not get soft. I think there's a way to be realistic about
the fact that you're not going to play a complete game and still
strive perfect
for Perfection on every snap. But apparently, we have
a philosophical A physical difference. And that
conversation is keeping us from having a complete show. So I'm
just striving for a complete show.
