1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,200 Speaker 1: A coach. How are you good, Patty? How are you? 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm good. Thanks. I wanted to ask you about special teams. 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: It seems like, you know, the last several weeks there's 4 00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: been a breakdown here and there, a problem with guys 5 00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: keeping their lanes and whatnot. What are you seeing from 6 00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: them and are you concerned that these types of breakdowns 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,040 Speaker 1: are happening to slate in the season. Yeah, I think that. 8 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,280 Speaker 1: You know, there's always a reason for each play that 9 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:29,400 Speaker 1: to break down. UM. You know, yesterday was you know, 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: a variety of issues, whether that was missing a tackle, 11 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 1: what it was getting a hat for a hat on 12 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: a kickoff return. Um. You know, we made a play 13 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: on that block punt, but we we gave up far 14 00:00:41,560 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: too many yards and a kickoff return UM, and really 15 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,000 Speaker 1: didn't give ourselves a chance to get going on our kickoff. 16 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: So certainly an area we need to improve and we'll 17 00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,360 Speaker 1: continue to try to do that. As much of is 18 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: any of that related to the fact that you have 19 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 1: guys going in and out, you know, maybe you're reducing 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:01,320 Speaker 1: one guy's workload and there's no chemistry your commaderie being 21 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: built on those units. Yeah, I don't I don't think 22 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,400 Speaker 1: you make an excuse like that. Every team goes through 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: that during the season. So whoever is in there, we 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: have confidence in and we gotta do we gotta do 25 00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: a better job there. Thank you. I'm talking Brian, just 26 00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,640 Speaker 1: wanted you could update any of the guys who left 27 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: yesterday's game. And I'll start with Richie's he and the 28 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: concussion produce he he is yep, okay, and then Balinger 29 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:34,160 Speaker 1: bad anybody else? Um, I'd say Daniel sore today. Um, 30 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 1: I say he's pretty sure today, So we'll see how 31 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: he goes during the week, mcfadd and sore. They're all sore. Um, 32 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: you know, Ankle, they're all sore. How about some of 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: the guys who didn't play. Yes, I know it's early 34 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: in the week, but like, what's your level of optimism? Mind? 35 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: I guess that Leo, Adore, McKinney, and bretticon for this week. 36 00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: Too early, too early to tell, okay. Uh. Then a 37 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,440 Speaker 1: bigger picture question. The run game obviously is not performed 38 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: or produced the way that earlier in the season. What 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: do you think has been I'm sure it's a lot 40 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: of factors. What are some of the biggest issues? But 41 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 1: getting that back on track. Uh, well, I think some 42 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: some of the things earlier in the year two is 43 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 1: you know, we had some good numbers, but some of those, uh, 44 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 1: we're from big runs to um. So I think you know, 45 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 1: you look at the type of game you're playing in. 46 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: You know, whether you're behind, whether you're getting as many 47 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 1: touches as you want to get. Um. You know, you 48 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: look at the play design, you look at all eleven 49 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 1: on the same page. I think it's probably a variety 50 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,640 Speaker 1: of things. Dan Um. Certainly missing a few big plays 51 00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: out there, um is one of them. Um. And then 52 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: just being on the same page and making sure we 53 00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: get a hat for a hat and getting downhill and 54 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: making some positive yards. So uh. And then I'd say 55 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: some of the games were you know, we didn't run 56 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: it probably as much as as we would have run 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: it based on where we were at. So um, you know, 58 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:57,799 Speaker 1: all that being said, we're just not we're not doing 59 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,200 Speaker 1: a good enough job. You know, all those other things 60 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:04,080 Speaker 1: to me are just you know, giving you some examples, 61 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,520 Speaker 1: but um, they're really you know, not making any excuses, 62 00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 1: just gotta do a better job. Ye. Please raise your 63 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 1: hand if you have a question for coach table. Paul Schwartz. Hey, Brian, Hey, Paul, Hey, 64 00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 1: did you say that Daniel is pretty sore today? Is 65 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 1: that what I heard? Bellinger? Bellinger? Okay, okay, not the quarterback. 66 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,280 Speaker 1: How does um? You know, Daniel obviously doesn't miss snaps 67 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 1: and runs the ball a lot, and um, you know, 68 00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: how was he holding up? Do you think he's doing well? Yeah? Yeah, 69 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 1: takes care of himself. Um, you know, he's he's very 70 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 1: proactive and all those type of things. But he's he's 71 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think he's done a nice job up 72 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 1: to this point, both on the field and taking care 73 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:01,920 Speaker 1: of his body. Was the touchdown throw he had um 74 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: rolling right and hitting Hodgens. Was that designed to go 75 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: there or did he just have to kind of break 76 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 1: the pocket and do that? Yeah? That was That was 77 00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 1: a loose play. That was a scramble play. They took 78 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: away the first read he moved I think, I said, 79 00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 1: did a good job of moving with them. He found them, 80 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 1: So it was you know, it was a loose, loose 81 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 1: type scramble play. Is that what you guys often collect 82 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,160 Speaker 1: playing above the X and os? You know what I mean? 83 00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: Is that something that your quarterback has to do as 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,359 Speaker 1: far as look it's not there and kind of like, 85 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,040 Speaker 1: let's do you call it improvisation or just the next 86 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: progression of the play? Yeah, I mean there's Look, there's 87 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 1: a there's certain plays where it's one, two, three, four 88 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,200 Speaker 1: or five. There's certain plays where it's a hard action 89 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: maybe one to And then you talk a lot about 90 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: down in the red zone where you know, if you 91 00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,040 Speaker 1: watch you know all these games, you see a lot 92 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: of scramble type plays that that happened. You know, there's 93 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 1: a short amount of space. If you have a mobile 94 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,559 Speaker 1: quarterback that can either a contain or keep the play moving, 95 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,680 Speaker 1: that certainly helps. And on that particular play, he did 96 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: a nice job. So did Isaiah. No one more quickie 97 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 1: on him. How you know there are times when he 98 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,920 Speaker 1: gets pressure almost immediately, you know in his face, how 99 00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 1: is he how is he dealing with that? Athletically and mentally? 100 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,840 Speaker 1: He's good. He's been playing and I think he's been 101 00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: a nice job really since we got here. Um in 102 00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,359 Speaker 1: the pocket, taking care of the football, making the right decisions. Um. 103 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: So again, when you get pressure right away in the 104 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,880 Speaker 1: pocket and there's not much you can do, then the 105 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: most important thing is to take care of the ball 106 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,720 Speaker 1: and live to see another day. There's other times he's 107 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: you know, created lanes and made some loose plays, whether 108 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 1: it be with his feet or throwing the ball. Um. 109 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:49,239 Speaker 1: There's other times he's been able to throw on time 110 00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,400 Speaker 1: and you know, make the right decisions. So you know, 111 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: that's part of playing quarterback. All those things happen. You know, 112 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: i'd say regularly, you try to eliminate the ones that 113 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 1: you know. They're right on him right now. Thanks Charlotte Carroll. 114 00:06:05,880 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: And how's it going good, chiltt. How are you good? 115 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: You've harped on your consistency all season long and and 116 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 1: really point to that and staying consistent and ready and 117 00:06:16,200 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 1: starting I guess, how are you feeling this week? Just 118 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 1: knowing the implications that are on the line for this game. 119 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: I feel the same. You know, you're you're upset, you're 120 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: not happy that you lost, but you have to get 121 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: ready to play another game and quickly make the corrections 122 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: that you need to make, whether that be coaching staff 123 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:40,279 Speaker 1: with the players. It's a long season. There's quite a 124 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,359 Speaker 1: bit of adversity throughout it. Maybe it's you know, for 125 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 1: some teams, it's in the beginning. For some teams it's 126 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,599 Speaker 1: in the middle for other teams at the end. You know, 127 00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: we're going through a little bit of it right now, 128 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:53,560 Speaker 1: and I think it's important to stay consistent, um, do 129 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:55,400 Speaker 1: the things that you need to do to try to 130 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: win games with your preparation and your practice, and you know, 131 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,400 Speaker 1: explain that to your players, which I think they all understand. 132 00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: And again I've well, it's a coach and staff for 133 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,680 Speaker 1: the players. They've They've tried to remain as consistent as 134 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: you can be and that takes some mental toughness throughout 135 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: the year. Kim Jones, can you're a mute mistake, but 136 00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: mind all of you. I apologize. I don't know exactly 137 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: how to ask this, to be honest with you, but 138 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: you look yesterday at a Philadelphia team where the roster 139 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: has been built methodically. Um, they clearly have an awful 140 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: lot of weapons. They obviously have a quarterback playing incredibly 141 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: UM confident football. Does any part of you allow yourself 142 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 1: for a moment to say, Man, a year from now, 143 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,160 Speaker 1: we're going to be so much closer to being really 144 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: competitive against that kind of team because we're going to 145 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 1: have much closer to that kind of team. I don't 146 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: can I live in the moment um, you know, and 147 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:12,360 Speaker 1: again our moment is we didn't play or coach well 148 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,920 Speaker 1: enough yesterday. You don't make excuses, you own it. You 149 00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: take a look at the things you can get better at. 150 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 1: And that's the approach. Um. You know, those those thoughts 151 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: that that you're talking about, that's for another time in 152 00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,040 Speaker 1: another place. Uh. You know, I'm I'm focused on the 153 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:33,000 Speaker 1: here and the now understood. What I do wonder after 154 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 1: yesterday to do a couple of your players need a 155 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: little boosting confidences as you guys approached obviously a really 156 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:46,720 Speaker 1: important game Sunday night. No, look again, you're just real. Um, 157 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,559 Speaker 1: we got beatn and I said this last night, we 158 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 1: got beats so and we got beat soundly. Um, and 159 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: you know you don't want that to happen, but it happened. 160 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: So you know we've we've tried to much to Charlotte's question, 161 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: each is you know consistency, Um, you know in our 162 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: meeting rooms and our practices. And it's easy to do 163 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,640 Speaker 1: when you you know, get the results you want. Um. 164 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,920 Speaker 1: The challenges when you don't get the results you want. 165 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: And I think that's where leadership, that's where consistency, that's 166 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: where teamwork, all that stuff comes in because, uh, again, 167 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 1: this is the world we live in. Um, you know, 168 00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,880 Speaker 1: we are judged on results, which I completely understand. But 169 00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,319 Speaker 1: I've done this long enough time to you know, I've 170 00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: been on both ends of it. So, Uh, the really 171 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 1: good head coaches and leaders players that I've ever been 172 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: around had that quality of consistency. Thank you, m Art Stapleton. 173 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:54,480 Speaker 1: You know, we all know the consistency aspect, and I 174 00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 1: think it go back a couple of weeks ago. You know, 175 00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,679 Speaker 1: we were all focused on your emotions on the sideline, 176 00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,760 Speaker 1: and you know how you you wished you handled certain 177 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: things a little differently on the on the emotional aspect 178 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,280 Speaker 1: of it. I mean, when you're the head coach and 179 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: you're in this position, do you strike more of a balance? 180 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: Is it a conscious thing for you at all to 181 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: think about? You know, when you're gonna lean into emotion 182 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: with the team, which players you lean into emotion with? Uh? 183 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: Just you know the moments that you've learned from guys 184 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: who've been around of when it's the right time, when 185 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,679 Speaker 1: you just you want to keep emotion out of it. 186 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,079 Speaker 1: I'm just curious, going into a big game like this, 187 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: does that play into it at all and or do 188 00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: you pick your spots. I guess with your team. Yeah, 189 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,400 Speaker 1: I think it depends on the team, um, and depends 190 00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 1: on the players. Look, we have a fairly young team. UM. 191 00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 1: We have some guys that you know, have been here 192 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,400 Speaker 1: for a few years that you have had ten plus 193 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: losing seasons, however many years in a row. We have 194 00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,840 Speaker 1: some other veterans that have been some places that have won. 195 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: Same with the coaching staff. But most important thing is, uh, 196 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:04,319 Speaker 1: you know, you developed a team. You developed it through O, 197 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,160 Speaker 1: T A S and training camp to withstand certain things 198 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:09,920 Speaker 1: that come your way. And again it's it's really about 199 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 1: the week you're playing. I don't think you can make 200 00:11:13,640 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 1: more or less out of each and every week. Obviously, 201 00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, we know this is a big week. Last 202 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,720 Speaker 1: week was a big week. So our focus has to 203 00:11:22,760 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: be on the things that we can control, um, which 204 00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:28,000 Speaker 1: is the here and the now, and do the things 205 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 1: that we need to do to give ourselves the best 206 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: chance and the ultimately go out there and you know, 207 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: play well and coach well on Sunday. Thanks, you got it. 208 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:43,840 Speaker 1: We'll take three more over. And obviously big discrepancy yesterday 209 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,240 Speaker 1: was their ability to make explosive plays, and it's something 210 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,079 Speaker 1: that you if you look out through the course of 211 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: the season, they've also had a much better capacity of doing. 212 00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:57,080 Speaker 1: Is that something that you guys really need to figure 213 00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,839 Speaker 1: out going forward and how it is it to become 214 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: a team like that? Um? Yeah, well, explosive plays help. 215 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: It's it's probably one of the top five things when 216 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:10,360 Speaker 1: you win the explosive play battle that put yourself in position. 217 00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,199 Speaker 1: That wasn't the only area that that we got beat 218 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: in there, Bob, third down rushing. I mean, it was 219 00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,640 Speaker 1: pretty much all the way around yesterday. But yeah, explosive 220 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 1: plays help. They help me when you're on offense and 221 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: when you can and stop them and prevent them, they 222 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: help you on defense. You know, to go consecutively twelve thirteen, fourteen. 223 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,640 Speaker 1: Play drives usually have to have a lot of things 224 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,600 Speaker 1: that go right and inevitblie if you have one thing 225 00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: go wrong and put you behind the sticks and now 226 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: you're in some passing situations that that you know, it's 227 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 1: harder to convert on. So, um yeah, big plays, big 228 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 1: plays definitely help. Is that something though that you can't 229 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 1: really address in the middle of the season. Has it 230 00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: gets addressed after seas, you have what you have right 231 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: now and you can worry about that. And no, we 232 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: always look we all not that we've created a bunch 233 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: of them. We always look for ways that's how to 234 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: do it. Um. And there's a variety of reasons. You know, 235 00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: yesterday you go back and take a look at the tape. 236 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 1: We had some opportunities, Um, you know where we were 237 00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 1: behind the defense I'd say four or five times for 238 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: big plays and for one reason the other just couldn't 239 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: capitalize on it. And the one of the anyone, Uh, 240 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,560 Speaker 1: is it easier to to take a game like Ester 241 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 1: and say hey, let's focus just on the on Washington 242 00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: and say it's just flush this one because it was 243 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: so ulat sight? I mean, did you want them to 244 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:34,920 Speaker 1: maybe even quicker than usual to say, hey let's put 245 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: our focus on Washington. Yeah, you know we we definitely 246 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: looked at at some particular plays that we have to 247 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:42,640 Speaker 1: get fixed because they'll usually show up again. And you 248 00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 1: looked at some things that were good and then um, 249 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: you know they're meeting right now going through some of 250 00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,079 Speaker 1: those things and then we'll turn it pretty quickly to Washington. 251 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,000 Speaker 1: You know, we just played them, Um, last week they 252 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,839 Speaker 1: had a bye week, so, um, yeah, you gotta turn 253 00:13:56,880 --> 00:13:59,160 Speaker 1: you gotta turn it fairly quickly, you know this time 254 00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:06,400 Speaker 1: of year. Anyways, Thank you, Tom Cannonman Hey, Brian, Hey, 255 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,880 Speaker 1: Tom Good, how are you good. I know you've talked 256 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,240 Speaker 1: about this next man up philosophy, But in the past 257 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: month or so, you've had guys who are out. You've 258 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: asked guys who were you're, you know, depth players to 259 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: step up and be the starter. Is that asking too much? 260 00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: You can't expect your Sea guy to play like you're 261 00:14:29,200 --> 00:14:33,360 Speaker 1: a guy and could that be part of the problem. Well, 262 00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 1: I think that's what happens to every team if you 263 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,560 Speaker 1: take a look around the league. So we make no excuses. 264 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: I think those guys that that are in there for 265 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:43,680 Speaker 1: us are are competing, um, and they're in there for 266 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 1: a reason, and we you know, we have confidence in them. 267 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:49,160 Speaker 1: And look, it's our job to make sure we're putting 268 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: them in good positions. There's job to go out there 269 00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:59,840 Speaker 1: and execute, and um, that's what it is. Okay, Jordan Rena, 270 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,560 Speaker 1: what's going on? Bryan? Okay? Uh, what have you learned 271 00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: about the NFC East so far and about Washington in 272 00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: particular that we played a tough, competitive game. They have 273 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:20,520 Speaker 1: a um, a very good defensive line. They have a 274 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: strong running game and explosive receiver, a quarterback that is, 275 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: like I said, last time we played them, playing with 276 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: a lot of confidence. Um, they've won, you know, considered 277 00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: amount of games here, these past seven games, and uh, 278 00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,920 Speaker 1: it's a tough opponent. What about the NFC East. I 279 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 1: mean you've been part of a lot of rivalries, a 280 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:44,240 Speaker 1: lot of different divisions, a lot of conferences. What have 281 00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 1: you learned about the NFC East. I haven't won any 282 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: games us fell. Our focus is on Washington, you know. 283 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 1: I think we'll reflect on that a little bit later. 284 00:15:56,240 --> 00:16:00,680 Speaker 1: But um, you know, Washington is is where focuses on. 285 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:04,640 Speaker 1: You talk to ownership regularly. Do you sense that these 286 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: games do need more into them? Yeah? Well look, and 287 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean NFC East, I've been another you know, divisions 288 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:17,240 Speaker 1: in football. I think anytime you're playing teams, um that 289 00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 1: are in your division, they always mean more. And I'll 290 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: end with this, but because I don't know, I this 291 00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: is probably the first cop was s quan address? Did 292 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: you talk about him? He was not? No, I did not. 293 00:16:31,280 --> 00:16:33,120 Speaker 1: How does he how does he feel? I mean, obviously 294 00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: he came, he went into that game with an injury, 295 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: And is it anything that you need to worry about 296 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: moving forward or addressed with him or is it that 297 00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,480 Speaker 1: I think we'll just you know, hopefully it's a little 298 00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: bit better this week, uh than he was last week. Um, 299 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: so I'm hopeful last one here you O'Connor, Brian. Has 300 00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: someone argued that that your team is now being measured 301 00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I guess against the standard of overachievement that you might 302 00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 1: have set in the first half of the season. Did 303 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:11,320 Speaker 1: you welcome that standard of people now expecting the Giants 304 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: to be a playoff team? And in some ways is 305 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: that a a compliment on on where you are with 306 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: your program, maybe ahead of schedule. Um, you know, I 307 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 1: don't think of it like that, you know, I just 308 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: you know, we got to find a way to get 309 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: a win here. Um. You know, we had some tough 310 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 1: games here these last few weeks. Make no excuses about them. 311 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: Every game we go into, we prepare, we plan, we 312 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,159 Speaker 1: practice with the right mindset. Um, you know, all the 313 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: other things is like, not much we can control about that. 314 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: Well we can control is is the things we do 315 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:46,880 Speaker 1: today and this week and get ready to play good 316 00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: Washington team. But just to follow that, I guess, I 317 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: guess what I'm asking is you want people to hold 318 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,960 Speaker 1: you to a certain standard, Right, Well, I think we 319 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 1: have our we have our we have our standard, UM, 320 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: and you know that's coming in here ready to work, 321 00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:05,399 Speaker 1: doing the right things every day, UH and making the 322 00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: most of every opportunity. That's our standard. That's the standard 323 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:12,919 Speaker 1: that you know we focus on UM. And again, the 324 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: results of some of these games obviously are disappointing. UM. 325 00:18:21,119 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: The way we prepare, the way these guys play hard, 326 00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,199 Speaker 1: the way they work, I think we've made strides, you know, 327 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 1: since we've gotten here. So again, we've had some wins, 328 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: we've had some losses, but the standard, the standard really 329 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: doesn't change with you know, the guys in our building. 330 00:18:38,359 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: I would say our building UM being a pro and 331 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:44,160 Speaker 1: trying to do the right stuff.
