00:00Yeah, it did.
00:01We just, it was several three and outs to start the game.
00:05And our defense was on the field quite a bit.
00:07And I think the drive I was talking about, you could tell we were discombobulated.
00:13We had the substitution error.
00:15We had just, it was just not, did not look like us.
00:17I really think other than that drive, it didn't happen.
00:20We played 30, I think 30 some snaps in the first quarter, which is a lot.
00:24So yeah, we just started slow.
00:26So credit to our guys, they hung together and kept going.
00:30And we made some adjustments and started attacking them in a different way.
00:33We were just sloppy with the ball.
00:35There was too many drops and there was too many turnovers.
00:39That was my question.
00:40Like what do you attribute, I mean, there was probably close to 10 drops.
00:43Obviously the fumbles, I mean, that was a very sloppy game.
00:46What do you attribute that to?
00:47I mean, anything that you can point to?
00:48Yeah, I know, I don't know.
00:50I mean, those are guys that usually make those catches and I don't know.
00:54I don't know.
00:55I, I, those guys were fighting like crazy.
00:57I think, you know, sometimes you, you strain so hard that, you know, little things that
01:01routine, things like that, you, you don't execute on, but I don't have a great answer.
01:06DJ, I know that you liked your defense play aggressive, but seven penalties on defense,
01:10some really costly ones that, um, you know, on third down stops, potentially anything
01:15to attribute those to?
01:16Yeah.
01:17I'm going to have to go back and look at, I mean, some of those were close plays.
01:19I mean, the, the, the PI on Sly, I, I don't know.
01:23I have to go back and look at them.
01:24I, I, our guys, they, they, they were, they were competing, playing aggressive, but we're
01:26never going to change that or stop that.
01:29We're always going to be the ones swinging and if, if stuff happens, it happens.
01:33But, um, you know, there, there's a lot of great third down stops too.
01:36And, you know, the, the, the one on Xavier, the, the roughing the quarterback, you know,
01:40he looked low.
01:41I thought he got blocked into him, but again, I, I go back and watch that.
01:43I, I don't know exactly how that was.
01:45I, I don't know exactly what we're talking about.
