It seemed like collectively the offensive line did hold its own. I mean you guys were able to run the ball, which you weren't able to do a week ago. How proud are you of what you guys were able to do up front?
Yeah, it's a big emphasis every week. This team is going to run through the O-line. So, we need to get going, and to get everybody else going. It was an up week, but we still didn't do enough to win.
As far as what you guys were able to do offensively though, were you proud of some of the drives that you were able to put together. Like the nice scoring drive, right there in the fourth quarter?
Yeah, like I said, they're always nice, really nice to get those really long drives. But the goal is to win in this game. We just need to do more throughout the rest of the game, in all four quarters to win.
How tough is this loss? I mean you guys fought for four quarters and came up short.
I mean, it's always tough. Everybody puts a lot of work in every week, and we want to see each other succeed and come out victorious at the end. But sometimes you just don't roll that way. So, I mean, it's hard. We'll get back to work on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or whenever we get back in, and just keep going from there.
What does it say about the character of this team, with nothing left to play for, you guys were fighting and clawing for four quarters?
Yeah, there's no doubt. Everybody on this team has high character. They're all going to play for themselves, their team, the name on their back. They're going to do it every single week, day in, day out, no matter what it is. And we're all going to fight to the end. We're going to scratch and claw and try to win games.
You're one of the handful of guys whose name was called today and expected to contribute. I mean, that's kind of the M.O. around here, right? When guys get their numbers called, they are expected to produce?
Yes, it's just taking advantage of opportunities. I've been on practice squad all year. I got called up this week. I got called up earlier in the year. I just try to take advantage of every opportunity I get out on the field because it might be my last, and I want to take advantage of it every time.
