00:00Yeah, so we're down 14 there, and we really like our two-point play, and we were going

00:09to make it a touchdown wins the game.

00:11And we felt good in terms of where we were in terms of the game, how the game flow was

00:15going at that point, and we thought that was our best chance to win.

00:19Yeah, yeah, you know, we felt good about going for it there.

00:22We really did, and that was a green light for us, and I got to do a better job communicating

00:27to the field.

00:28There was a point where we needed to do a better job.

00:31I have to do a better job of communicating everything to everybody, and, you know, if

00:36he was late, then I might have been late, and then he was maybe late getting the call.

00:41And again, we liked the call there, and we were all set.

00:45Yeah, you know, we got to go back and look at the tape, and we got to look at the, you

00:49know, the kick, the protection, and all those things.

00:51And again, the ball was on the 30, I believe, so it's, you know, a good spot for us in Cairo.

00:58And again, whenever that happens, two games in a row, we got to make sure we take a hard

01:00look in terms of the protection, you know, the technique, you know, and then who we have

01:05in there.

01:06So it's going to be a big thing to look at.

01:08Yeah, I thought early on, early on, the run D was not where it was, where it needed to

01:13be.

01:14They popped some runs on us early, but I thought it settled down after that.

01:17We did a better job as the game went on.

01:20Yeah, I don't think we expect things like that to happen.

01:23I just believe that we got to, we have to execute better down the stretch, we got to

01:26coach better down the stretch.

01:28It's an everybody thing.

01:29And again, is it difficult?

01:31Yeah, it is difficult.

01:32You know, you lose three games like this.
