00:00All right, so we hit injuries first.

00:07DeAndre Carter had a hamstring.

00:09Travis Homer had a head injury, and we'll continue to try to evaluate going forward.

00:13And I'll start with what I kind of addressed with the team.

00:17We got our butts kicked.

00:18There's no other way to say it, but to say it, we always be straightforward,

00:21honest, and open about things that transpired.

00:24We're gonna do a better job of putting a better game plan on both sides of the ball,

00:29so we can execute better, and obviously continue to challenge our guys to be at

00:32their best.

00:33So the move's not great, but obviously our guys are still together.

00:39Again, like I said before, I'm gonna be open and

01:04Again, it always starts with me.

01:05So communicate better to the entire staff, continue to try to find ways to demand

01:10more from our players so we can show up on game day and play the right way.

01:13We played a really good football team, and they kicked our butts.
