Those plays aren't because of what the opponent did.

Those plays are because of either our lack of concentration, communication, discipline, whatever it happened to be.

And I'm not just putting it on the players.

I'll put it on the coaches too.

You know, that's our responsibility to eliminate those.

And other things, turnovers, for example, when the offense turns the ball over,

And the defense doesn't make a good play.

It's just the offense fumbling a snap, fumbling a handoff.

The ball goes off a receiver's hands, pops up in the air, and the defense intercepts it.

Plays like that that don't have anything to do really with good defense, the offense just gives the ball away.

You know, snap the ball over the guy's head, the quarterback's head, snap it over the punter's head, drop the snap, stuff like that.

Just plays that are poorly executed by us.

So, as you can see, it's a long list, Shane.

Some of them are off the field and some of them, you know, some of them are on the field.

You know, in college football would be, you know, being academically ineligible.

I mean, that's, you know, that's not your opponent's fault.

That's, you know, that's a lack of commitment and, you know, doing the required academic work to be eligible to play.

So those would all be examples of you can't win until you keep from losing.

If you can eliminate all those things, then you can actually make progress on being a better football player and winning games.

Yeah, absolutely.
