00:00How does one in four sit with the group that has the expectations this group has?

00:07Bro, y'all be asking that same question. How does it feel when we lose, bro? How do you think? You know what I'm saying?

00:13I gotta come up with another question than asking how does it feel when we lose, bro. I'm tired of hearing that.

00:17Okay, let me ask this then. Can you put your finger on why the team isn't finishing at the end?

00:23Well, we can start with me and Joe not on the same page. I gave him a shitty run, he threw a pick, so I'll start there.

00:28So you take that on you? I'm gonna take it on me. Yeah, I am.

00:34You guys get the fumble recovery in overtime, you're set up in good field position.

00:38As a competitor and a guy who was having the game you were having,

00:42did you want the ball to come to you in that situation? Do you think running the ball was the right move?

00:52Yeah, of course I always want the ball, you know what I'm saying? I felt like we should have

00:57tried at least one play to give it to one of our playmakers, me, Tia, Dre.

01:02Try to get a first down because that's what we've been doing the whole game.

01:11Yeah, just like a post route from number two.

01:18I just got the safety to turn his hips one way and ran a post route.

01:22I mean, are you surprised they gave that? I mean, are you surprised that was there given the timing?

01:26We got in the right formation for it to get the right coverage, so that was what we did.

01:32When you're having a game like you were having today, do you feel like if you had gotten the ball in overtime,

01:36you could have ended it right there?

01:38Who knows, bro? We had T playing good, Dre playing good, everybody played good.

01:42It's not just me, but I always like to get the ball in my hands, but sometimes, you know,

01:48you got to get somebody else.

01:50If you're going to take something positive to build from this, if that's even possible,

01:54is it the way you guys were able to score against a legitimately top defense?

01:58We put it on 30 points and still losing, you know what I'm saying?

02:01It's not something we want to see, you know what I'm saying?

02:04We're accountable for everything we did today and putting up 30 points is what we want to do on the regular,

02:08but losing is not what we want to do.

02:10Can you take us through the interception a bit more?

02:12I know you said that the route...

02:14Shitty route. Shitty route by me.

02:16Marlon played that side leverage, coaches on the sideline yelling slant the whole time,

02:21so shitty route by me.

02:22I should have made him work a little more.

02:24Jomar, at 24, a lot of the team will look to you to be the leader on the field with your play.

02:32How do you guys take the odds that might be stacked against you and make your run starting from this loss?

02:44I don't know, man.

02:45It's just taking one game at a time, you know what I'm saying?

02:47I don't know.

02:48I can't tell the future.

02:49Jomar, is it especially frustrating given how well the offense played that it still wasn't enough?

02:54I mean, how much does that add to the frustration?

02:57Yeah, I think that's why we most...

02:59I think that's what's causing us to be mad at the most part.

03:03It's just putting up 30 points and losing right there.

03:06You know, that's what we want to do as offense, put up 30 points and take over the game,

03:10put the ball in our hands, last drive and take over.

03:13So that's what we want and we didn't do it.
