A big throw to Chig (Okonkwo) seems like, 'Hey, we let our hair down and we're against the wall, we're going to make a big play.' Seems like the rest of the game the guys play like this super conservative type of style. Is that fair?
Yeah, I mean also credit to them. They're an elite defense. They're doing that to a lot of teams, to be fair. But yeah, no, I would agree. I feel like we're not doing a good enough job, we're not getting into rhythm, we're not making explosive plays. I think all 11 of us are accountable for that, and I'll start with myself and see what I can do better.
Also, kicking field goals on a fourth-and-two, I'm sure most of you guys are saying, 'Hey, let's do more.'
Certainly it's hard to—there's a lot of analytics and stuff that go into that. I'm never disappointed to get points. Obviously six is better than three. I trust the people who make those decisions. I just got to block my guy better. It's hard to really account for that in the moment because we're just thinking about doing our job. So, offensively we just got to put ourselves in a better position to get in the red zone, and score, and not put anyone in that position to say, 'Oh do you want three or do you want go for it?' Just score.
How do you guys feel more and more like let's let our hair down, let's still caution the wind, why don't we just go?
Yeah, I mean I think just overall in general, certainly, why not? I feel like we've started to do a little of that, but yeah, Once again, I just, we just got to do our job. I mean we've got to execute play calls, really, that's the end of the game, that's all I'm going to do.
How tough was it to lose Calvin (Ridley) on the first passing play?
Yeah, I mean obviously we know his playmaking ability and, like I said, against a defense like this, like you got to have every guy. Disappointed to see him go down like that. I feel like seemingly our whole receiver core struggling to stay out there, but that's football.
