Game 6 UFL Renegades vs UFL Panthers Full Presser Conference for the Alan Alford Sports Talk Show!!!

[Music] all right will be out shortly start S so how frustrating is it to be in another close loss another tight game where you guys had a chance to win yeah I mean obviously it's frustrating feel like we've gone against top you know two three teams in the league losing by field goals you know as a team you know it's not like we don't have a 0 and six mentality at all going to each game we've seen you know how these games to play out and we see you know how close we are but at the end of the day we're just close and we're not getting it done so it's extremely frustrating yeah s obviously you didn't play like an 0 and6 team out there you played like a team that was going to win this football game all the way down until Jake Bates came down there and he got another one and uh so I I guess uh the question is moving forward I I thought your offense was fantastic you guys used a lot of screens and to set up your receivers running down the field I thought Perez's he's an excellent quarterback for you guys so you know where do you go from here you know I mean yeah I mean you just got to come to work every day I mean you know we get to do this it's a it's a blessing and you know guys are here you know if you have the mentality that you know it's over with or you know kind of screw this like man you should have be here in the first place cuz at the end of the day if you're a competitor you're going to go out there each and every week no matter what the your record is and you're going to compete right being a pro is bigger than you know wins and losses you know if if if you have any sort of competitor in you then you know nothing's going to change if anything it's going to make you go harder s um just even being a leader in the locker room what is your message to the rest of your teammates moving into next week yeah I mean we've spoken on it a few times but really it's you know kind of tap into what what got you here you know everyone has a story uh during Camp you know coach Su all go and talk in front of the team and you know tell our stories in detail and you know everyone had you know some sort of adversity they went through or some sort of dog they had to bring out of them to get them to this point you know you just get here by chance so you know it's kind of tapping into what got you here and coming to work every day and being a pro like I said cuz everyone's either trying to get to NFL or get back to it and you know if you're given up in any way shape or form I mean there's no reason you should be here hey s uh Mike Mueller BCP plus despite being ow and six you guys are still in the hunt for the playoffs it's it's a 10 game season it's short you can still turn it around you guys did that last year uh what do you say to some of the guys that are new to this team that weren't here last year to you see turn it around at the end to keep them uh motivated and focused yeah I feel like you know if you were part of the team last year you should have no doubt in your mind that anything could happen you know um we know we're not an 0 and6 team yeah the record shows that but you know we're not out here getting blown out we're not you know just folding within you know the locker room staying strong but at the end of day you know we're not playing good enough to win uh just mental erors mistakes you know not converting you know it goes both ways it's not one person you know it's just a team thing so just a message to everybody man it's like like you said if it's if it's not over it's not over you know we're going to go out there and we're going to prepare to win and we just got prepare each and every day more and better than we did the week before because it's not good enough any other questions good oh one more oh my B what's your approach personally moving forward to to basically stay positive and not get caught up in the negativity yeah I mean for me it's not hard to stay positive I mean like I was talking about earlier you know everyone has the story and whatnot and you know a lot of our careers there's been a lot of negativity there's been a lot of battles there's been a lot of adversity so there's not one day that you go into this taking it for granted and you know there's not an ounce of negativity that Taps into me I mean I hate to lose the sucks no one in the locker room likes to lose and especially the way we've been losing so if anything that's just going to make us go harder um bring out the dog in you bring out the fire and if if it does doesn't and we got problems so anything I'll be [Music] [Music] [Music] so [Music] [Music] anyway else [Music] hello everybody uh fire away my uh compliments to coach Mike Nolan and the group over there they uh Michigan did a heck of a job and it's was a heck of a game and we end up another game the play short where we lose in the last play of the game with the field goal so uh you know if we could have I think what threw us a little bit there at the end on the last our last drive we thought they were in the neutral zone so we had a free play and threw the ball and it's incomplete and they don't call them in the neutral zone so it was like a timeout you know for for Michigan so anyway that was uh you know that was unfortunate and uh but uh go ahead fire away hey coach Mike Mueller BCP plus uh is there any plans to make any sort of personnel changes or anything like that to switch things up see if you can shake this up a bit no I didn't make any plans in the shower to to all of a sudden change everything no yeah coach Stoops your offense was really clicking throughout most of the game I I checked Perez had thrown to I think seven different receivers had at least two grabs early on and you guys really set up your screen game going down there and a lot of confusion and um I you must feel like offensively you are very very close to just breaking through we've had a lot of positive games like that um you know so but you know in the end you got to make these plays in the fourth quarter and that's where we have failed um you know and we're talking literally any one play on either side of the ball or or you know even kickoff coverage we give up a huge return right at you know after we take the lead and that you know that that's uh not good football you got to be able to make those plays when they really count coach like you already talked about the kickoff coverage the penalty at the end of it with the face mask and just some of these mental mistakes that have gotten in the way of our that's not a mental mistake a face mask is part of playing if a guy lined up off sides or something then that's a mental mistake but you know face mask part of playing hard playing the game you get caught that happens well just in general the team has just made some mistakes down the stretch in these in these losses what needs to change for those things to adjust moving forward yeah you know like I said any any one play uh and aren't mistakes we just you know uh you know you you you throw the ball on second down when they're in the neutral zone you expect it to be called that's the bottom line uh so in the end yeah it's play a little bit better down the stretch maybe us as coaches coach a little better make that one play Difference that you're on the other side of this and we've yet to do [Music] it any other questions yeah so I've watched all the games so far this season and to me I in my opin there's three teams that Arlington at least three teams that Arlington is better than so with the 0 and6 record how do you not get too caught up in the record itself and continue forward playing at a high level of playing St positive yeah well we're a positive group I'm not you know I got nothing to do with negativity so uh we're going to do our best and these guys are really good guys to work with every day they're they're a just a good good group of you know men you know that that are easy to work with and they see that I mean there what's this our fourth game we lose on the last play of the game and we' been ahead or tied or ahead in in all of them in the fourth quarter so they know they're doing a lot of positives too but the record sure doesn't show it so but they they see it and and you know so they they got pride in how they play and they'll they'll come out and play hard again next week I know they will would you say then at this point negativity is not too big of an issue in the left room it isn't no get where where's that getting anybody you know so guys show up to work they're all they're all work together well and uh there isn't any backbiting cuz it it isn't any one group you know it isn't this side of the ball that side of the ball it's just literally a a little a play here or there and you know and we're we'd be on the plus side of this so but we got to go do it okay thank you everyone all right good evening everybody thank you
