Jets - 21, Texans - 14
Q. (Inaudible)?
TYROD TAYLOR: Yeah, didn't execute on third down. Didn't execute in general early downs as well, too. And put yourself in third-and-long in certain situations, those are hard to come by. But just the flow wasn't right in the second half. We have to be better at that moving forward.
Q. The (indiscernible) final drive, what was kind of your plan going into that? Take us through what --
TYROD TAYLOR: We had an opportunity on a replay, defense gave a tough look, and end up not getting the yardage that we needed on that one. But obviously the plan was to go into -- get the first first down -- and then go into hurry-up mode or two-minute mode, to say, and just didn't execute how we needed to. And it didn't work out for us.
Q. You said the flow wasn't right. (Indiscernible)?
TYROD TAYLOR: I think that boils down to execution. Like I said, it's just us not executing. If you look at the first half, the flow of the game was in our favor. We were executing, hitting our chunk plays, doing what we needed to do in the run game. But we didn't, like I said, we didn't do it in the second half.
Q. Is this loss any more painful because it was winnable?
TYROD TAYLOR: They're all painful, obviously disappointing. Anytime you don't come out on the winning end. But it's something we have to learn from. We have to watch the film with a critical eye, like always, and move forward to the next game.
Q. (Inaudible) those guys. You were talking about how --
TYROD TAYLOR: We knew going into this game their guys up front did a great job of rushing the passer and being stout against the run. And they did it today. Hats off to those guys; they competed well. Obviously they came away with the win. Just something that we have to go back, clean up where we could have been better and keep moving forward.
Q. The passes on the outside, that last one to Collins, what kind of goes into those and why are those (indiscernible)?
TYROD TAYLOR: It's a one-on-one matchup. We like those opportunities. And we just have to win on those point-blank.
Q. How hard was it to lose Justin Reid, (indiscernible) defensively on the other side of the ball?
TYROD TAYLOR: It's always tough. But coach said from day one we'll hold everybody accountable for their actions and he made a decision as a team. We support our coaches and our leadership decisions and we continue to keep moving forward.
Q. You guys had a couple of chances to go deep in the first half. What led to you all being able to do that, and how did that get taken away?
TYROD TAYLOR: The guys have done a good job competing down the field and making plays. Like I said, we were able to execute those early on. Like I said, the second half of the game those opportunities didn't present themselves. Obviously you like to call those as you get those flowing with the drive and just wasn't able to continue to keep the drive alive. We had an opportunity on the 1-yard scramble, but then negative yardage on the next play. But just something that we have to clean up and be better moving forward.
Q. (Indiscernible) in the last game, what would you say (inaudible)?
TYROD TAYLOR: Like I said, we knew those guys could rush the passer. Ton of talent up front. Hats off to the guys that battled up front on our end. They competed their butts off. Just didn't come away with the win today.
