00:00good morning and merry christmas pop douglas
00:03good morning good morning and merry christmas
00:07before we get to the tough stuff uh do you have
00:11a favorite christmas song a go-to christmas song
00:15uh i don't but probably this christmas that's probably by what chris brown yes
00:24oh so good okay yeah that's a good one all right yeah all right
00:28well uh on the football and we talked to coach about this on monday when he was
00:35on with us you guys have had a week to hear from them
00:39watch film etc so curious when you look at uh how well you
00:45guys played in that first half on sunday and then
00:48uh how you didn't in the second half have you been able to identify what's
00:53going on there and why you guys were uh were not so good in the second half of
00:57that football game pop nah i i think it was probably our energy
01:02you know uh we just didn't play for 60 minutes you know uh i think that's what
01:07got us you know we came in first half hot
01:10second half we didn't bring that same energy so i feel like
01:14you know our energy was off that second half
01:17uh as as uh as coach would say you took a nap
01:21a long nap in the second half is that is that right yeah we took a nap for sure
01:25yeah pop how do you feel like now a weekend you guys have responded to that loss when it
01:33comes to practice and your energy getting back up to where you want it to be
01:36yeah man yeah we're practicing we're practicing good practicing with that energy
01:41and uh you know we we're kind of you know taking it hard we we're definitely being uh definitely
01:47competitive and uh it's it's fun you know we you know we're shaking back and you know uh getting
01:53ready for sunday
01:53pop i i don't know if ray will kind of talk to you guys about this but when you're a good football team
01:59and you're a young football team and you get out to a lead like that sometimes you feel like oh we're
02:05good enough where all we got to do is walk out on the field and we should be able to beat anybody
02:09has he talked about just you know kind of understanding like we we can't take naps even though we are a
02:17good football team we just can't turn that switch on and beat other good football teams
02:21uh yeah no i i don't think the team was thinking that you know uh i think you know the uh the
02:33bill just you know came out and you know uh
02:35play harder than us you know that second half i don't think nobody was like uh let's go to the
02:41field and just be there nah the bill just wanted more that second half pop the the play calling has
02:50been the subject of a lot of conversation this week on this radio station and elsewhere
02:53did you feel like you guys were aggressive enough in the second half
02:57were we uh i don't know honestly
03:06there have been some guys that have talked about how maybe a loss is good for you guys at this point
03:13in the season where do you fall on that
03:15i don't know i i don't yeah and no at the same time i don't like losing so i i don't think a loss
03:30is good but but you know at the same time it is too you know uh a good reset let's get back to what
03:37we do and uh that's a wake-up call let's go play for 60 minutes what what all right what do you think
03:45you guys learned the most from this loss because there's a there's always learning experiences from
03:49wins and losses but what's the one thing that you feel like as a team you learn the most
03:53from losing that type of football game
03:56uh not too much to learn from it just uh how how we play you know we we just gotta play for 60 minutes
04:06okay and on to the ravens now on to the ravens yeah uh this team has played pretty well
