it was a challenge and and I think more than anything that you know you got to find ways to win and uh that was what we did tonight we we've harped upon the fourth quarter and um you know it came down to that you know I got to give them a lot of credit right I they they came in here with the plan and did a pretty darn good job of sticking to the plan know I don't know that we did enough to adapt and adjust their plan um as the game got really methodical and it was very unique at halftime that you're kind of sitting there in a 10 to seven game and kind of curious as you know how we're going to create some energy and momentum um because they had done a really good job at slowing that thing down and keeping the ball in front on their defense and methodically moving the ball with their offense uh and I've been in these games before and and sometimes they're not the most fun but what it comes down to is you got to find a way and you got to make some adjustments that maybe you didn't Envision you'd have to make uh you didn't want to make in game one but you have to make those guys make some of those adjustments and we did and I give our guys a lot of credit you know they didn't bad I a leadership on this team is much different and and that's what I'm really excited and proud of um but it was a test it was definitely a test and you know that ball that ball game came down to the fourth quarter and you know you got to find a way to create some energy momentum and it's not because the ball hit off their leg but that's you one thing that does happen in the ball game uh and that was the way that we created that energy and momentum and we kind of felt it really Shi and roll from there is the lack of Playmakers in the issue I don't know I mean it's one game um it's hard to to say uh you know whether there's not enough Playmakers on the field I mean if you've been here long enough um you know that there's going to be days I don't want to say make excuses days like this but games like this that all of a sudden become that slow methodical I would think around here you've seen a few of those um it's not what you know maybe you envision every single day it's not maybe what we envision going into this thing but that's you know I give our guys a lot of credit for their ability to adjust and adapt and it gets frustrating don't get me wrong being a former defensive lineman there's nothing worse than a 16 play D that's you know two three four six um and you don't have a chance to rush the passer and when they do throw the football it's you know some type a Max Pro or some little boot or wag one that's a that's a compliment to them um you know they they did a really good job with those things but there's times when you just got to you guys got to buckle down and you got to find ways to win and that's what we had to do
