00:00I had several conversations with the guys, I always meet with a debrief after the game.

00:11We talked about the game, talked about decisions that were made, plays that were made, plays

00:17that weren't made, and we talked about the whole game.

00:21So again, I'll meet with those guys later on this afternoon, but this is a normal operation

00:26that we always have post-game.

00:28I have talked to them post-game, like I said, and debrief after the game.

00:31We always do that.

00:32Like I said, I'm just going to be working on finishing up this game, doing a good job

00:40of evaluating that, our after-action report like we always do, and then I'll be working

00:44into San Francisco.

00:46Again those are conversations we'll have, and again I'm confident that I'll be working

00:52onto San Francisco and getting ready for that game.

00:55Yeah, so our hope was, like I said, at 15 to 10 seconds, once that sack occurred, that

00:59we would get the play off and be able to utilize that timeout there.

01:05So once you get past a certain point, using a timeout, the fast field goal takes a certain

01:12amount of time, and once you're past a certain point, our hope was that the ball would be

01:15snapped at 15 to 10, and then we would call the timeout right there.

01:19Well, you look at it, in hindsight it's 20-20, right, we're all sitting here on Friday after

01:25the game, and again the first option didn't work.

01:29So obviously you look at the second option, and thinking that that would be an option

01:36that you should choose.

01:37But again, we chose the first option, that's where it was, and our hope was we'd get the

01:42ball snapped off in time, and then we'd utilize that timeout and put ourselves in position

01:47to kick it.
