HC Jonathan Gannon Postgame – 11.30.25 | Week 13 vs. Buccaneers | Press Conference

Okay. Uh, on the injury front, 82, uh, Dre Bachellia had an elbow, but I think he was be he was able to return. Uh, and then Marv was dealing with a heel, uh, and then he could not return. Um, hats off to Tampa Bay. They made a couple plays, more plays than us. Um, you know, game came down to the wire there. A lot of back and forth. Um, you know, we lose the takeaway battle, two nothing. It’s We know it’s going to be tough sledding. They converted some, we didn’t. Um, love the fight by the group. Just I just told him in the locker room though, it comes down to a couple plays all three phases and you’re going against good football team and you got to make those plays. So, we got it starts with us coaches making sure that we’re on the details uh and start converting more of those plays so we can win a game. It seems like it often comes down to play. I don’t think there’s a commonality. I think the commonality would be um it starts with the coaches making sure that uh we put them in good spots and we’re on all the details of each defensive play call, each offensive play call, each each component of of special teams. you guys. Well, you know, my my head right there, Josh, goes to, you know, I think like we left nine points on the board. You know what I mean? You lose by three. So, um, and when I say nine points, like we’re on their side of the field and don’t even come away with a field goal where you’d like to come away with touchdowns. You know, the first drive we throw a pick in kind of the high red. Um the next drive we get a good return by Dre. Um we’re on the plus side there. We fumble. Um so you’re looking at a chance to try to score some points coming out of half. Then we get it down there and and we miss a field goal. So you you know, you let up nine points off the board, you know, and then the games play different, you know, and you you can get stressed out when you’re down like that with decision making and what you got to do, what they’re doing. Um, I think we just got to capitalize when we get the ball in scoring position to score points. I don’t know. There is a little bit of wind out there. I think you know it’s it’s just like um you know a productive run play takes all 11. Got to make sure that we’re blocking it up right. Snap’s good. The operation’s good. Um I’m not worried about him. He’ll bang him through. We busted him. We We We let a guy that was eligible get wide open, not cover him. Touchdown. Which drive was that? I don’t know. Um the couple plays that we went backwards there. You know, the one I think it was a pressure at Scat. You got to get the back out, you know, because that’s the answer versus a pressure. I think that was on second down, third down. Um, I’ I’d have to look at the play there. I, you know, we got to make sure that we’re not going backwards because again, like that one drive, you know, we have two negative plays. Well, it’s third and long, right? But that also impacts fourth down and field position and where the defense is, you know, going out there. So, just collectively, we got to do a better job. Yeah, honestly, Greg, we knew we knew we we knew we were in four down mode at that point. Um I I love to take a shot there, you know. I think we had the what we we had a good thought of what they’d be in there. Um just got to execute the play and then on fourth down we got to get a yard. What did you see go on the last the last drive? Um, well, we we went four and out. You know, you got you got to block people. You got to get open. You got to hit open guys. Yeah, they had everybody jammed up in there. You know, it’s a play we practiced for a couple weeks now here for sure this week. Um just trying to gain the edge. You know, you got to get a hat on a hat. We two of our guys that looked like it kind of fell off and they had some penetration hit band before the sticks and then they had another guy rally to it. It’s good play by them. Not sure. Yeah. Yeah. I don’t know. We got to tackle better. I Seven’s a hell of a back, you know what I mean? He he’s a good player. Um cuz I thought we had them bottled up a couple times. Um that’s going to come down to technique, track and technique. You know, we got to make sure that we get low on guys and cut the engine. You’re right, Tao. Too much hidden yardage. It happens in a football game and good and really good players force that to happen. You know what I mean? They change the angle at the last before contact or, you know, they keep their feet going. They got good contact balance. They they got some good players over there. But there’s no doubt that um we need when we get to the ball, the ball has to go down a little bit better.
