Our guys. Today was a day -- was -- frustrating because. Our fans deserve more than what we gave me today when it all said and done. They deserve more deserve better play. By the New Orleans Saints that much credit to Redskins now let's be honest just this team came in and played well. They ran the ball well they are. RG three scrambled a couple times and Mason makes nice place their defense. Did a nice job they did the things that we expected. That's the hard part to take its the things we practice that things were expected. And we didn't play well enough to win were close. There was would have been a sloppy win if we did but. We need to play better this week. Well we. To listen we we've been in this situation before. We're gonna pull together as a team because we have a lot of character on this team we have a tight knit team we have guys that. That's fuel for each other work together. We need to put all the parts together get it timed up perfectly there were no indications that this would happen if you look at the Houston in Tom pre season game. There were no indications that this would happen we were clicking. We're moving the ball we had time with our receivers our defense was doing a good job against the run. And we just need it we just need to go back and look at ourselves. Each one of -- you're starting with me. Look at ourselves and figure out what what I can do better what each individual can do better and how close we can -- -- -- you're not gonna run the ball when you get. Twelve penalties sort of first half if you go back to you look at it drives. It when we ran the ball once for five yards and a first down there we ran it again got a ten yard holding penalty one now. You're out of running range so the only reason those plays were chosen is because it was a situation where. -- Well I think they short a lot of their offense and in general scheme and now you're always gonna change personnel and change how you do things but. If you look at the plays in general are the same kind of place. You're into you're always anticipating. With RG three that he's gonna be running the ball or some sort of read option off the backside defensive end or taking it to the right and move right into the -- so. Those boys are gonna come up and eating you anticipate I don't think they did anything that we didn't anticipate. Why. -- like I said we got -- change we have penalties. Calm and sure is usually get that you get out your rhythms -- you have to get a player that can did you halfway back. And were never knew that. So easy when you when you play football you get eleven guys together. And they need did they need to be insane can -- so early -- we had Warner to we have one guy each boy that so wasn't with us. And we have to -- overcome that and in so we gotta get that fixed there were well. -- It wasn't as. Wherever she's gonna come a game and things are gonna happen in -- game and you got overcome you know I talked with team last night about character there's going to be some crisis in the game. There's crisis in life there's crisis and a game. And you have to overcome it and we have the resolve and our locker room to overcome most things in the same -- were overcome this game. -- Will Smith practiced all training camp. He missed one week of practice he was schooled up -- on the game plan and he's our best defense event and has been former captain. And it was so it was important that you play. Twellman on the field what happened was there was a guy running off the field as the ball was snapped and he didn't run off fast enough. Correct. Things. Yes it's important that you off that you get it within one score and afterward don't. Penalties penalties hurt us. When we've had challenges in the past we've been able to -- way yardage and we're today when we got behind the -- a couple of times and killed us on the and our third down conversions so when you look at -- time of possession. Was way out of whack and they did a very nice job of keeping the football and we did not do a good job of keeping the football and that stems from penalties. Well I was told that he had an arm bar arm off on the receiver and where I was standing in order said it was not pass interference and -- where he was standing there was pass interference and Tom people agree that was and so. That's a judgment call and there what does what he saw and that's what were -- -- wouldn't -- -- the next -- All. Over it now. When they're down hard. Today the difference was this. Today the difference was penalties. It was second and twenty. And so when we got to third down was third and long way too many times. You get a third and long situations you're not gonna convert when we were converting on a normal basis or on eight. First in the NFL basis as we did last year. We were manageable situations so the percentages go down there obviously the further you are. There. I think that. The entire team needs it looked himself and I and look in the mirror and say what can I do. What can I do better how can prepare better how can I be a better teammate. Talking -- win a football game by doing my job. It. Well. Brilliant coach. Listen this team is gonna stay together because they're the core in the character within it. This team as we went in our locker room after a tough day as we head couldn't you got any tighter in a group and said we're gonna get this --
