00:00One of the big talking points this week, of course,

00:02was Coach Mayo calling the team soft on Sunday night

00:05and then the next day kind of changing it

00:07so they're playing soft.

00:09Would you agree with Coach Mayo and his assessment?

00:12Hey, we got to just play better.

00:14I don't know what that means.

00:15You know, we got to play harder, we got to play longer

00:17and we have to play better.

00:18And I don't know, that was Coach's comment.

00:21You know, but for us, offensively,

00:23we need to be more physical, we need to play harder and longer

00:26than we have in the past year.

00:28So rallying cry for everybody, we got to get out there

00:31and, you know, get some action going in the run game.

00:33I wasn't very good last week at all.

00:35Very poor on our part.

00:36So whatever that means, we got to play harder, longer.

00:39I know that.

00:40You were a player in the league.

00:41You've been in the league for a long time.

00:42You ever called soft by a coach?

00:46Yeah, I don't want to get into the softness.

00:47I mean, it is.

00:48The film never lies.

00:49So whatever that looks like, we weren't good enough.

00:51I don't know what you want to call it,

00:52but we have to be better offensively.

00:54You know, I look at it through that lens, you know, completely.

00:58We just need to be better.

00:59We need to play longer and play harder, like I said.

01:01But yeah, it is what it is.

01:03And if it worked, if it rallies us, great.

01:05You know, it should.

01:06It should piss us off.

01:07Our play should piss us off.

01:09Our record should piss us off.

01:10So anything that gets us going, playing harder and longer,

01:13will be great this week.
