Speaker 1: Decision on him Camu again his right ham string strain. Um,
Speaker 1: he did some running today and we'll see. We'll see
Speaker 1: where he's at later in the week. But again he's
Speaker 1: also week to week. And then Taylor Hart with the
Speaker 1: right ankle. Um, he was sore this morning again and um,
Speaker 1: he's also week to week. Benny Logan is doing much better. Um,
Speaker 1: we'll see where he's at. We'll probably limit him a
Speaker 1: little bit. He should return to practice this week and
Speaker 1: and uh get him, get him some reps and see
Speaker 1: where he's at. Uh. Chris Maragos and Leotis um with
Speaker 1: their hamstrings are okay, I'll be full go with them.
Speaker 1: And then Michael Kendricks, Jordan Matthews and and uh um
Speaker 1: Carson had to calf string a week ago, um or
Speaker 1: calf spasm. Actually, um are okay and and uh our
Speaker 1: full full go Barbara's place. We just did well. Weis
Speaker 1: did well. You know, he's such a uh um, he's
Speaker 1: such a competitor, and he's a he's a pro. You know,
Speaker 1: he really um focuses in on his his assignments, his
Speaker 1: job and and uh you know he's hitching to play.
Speaker 1: And then he got an opportunity and played well. He
Speaker 1: say week weeky are you usually expecting as the Giants
Speaker 1: can't tell you until until I see him on Wednesday
Speaker 1: to see where he's at. You talk a little bit
Speaker 1: more about Carson's cap. I don't think that was on
Speaker 1: the report was that it was just sore after the
Speaker 1: Minnesota game he got kicked in it and uh was
Speaker 1: sore and just a spasm. He's fine, so um, okay,
Speaker 1: So it didn't Uh he didn't reaggregate it. No in
Speaker 1: the game, No, not at all. Looking at the film,
Speaker 1: was there anything down the field that maybe Carson missed
Speaker 1: her that you didn't You didn't see maybe during the
Speaker 1: day that was available. Um, you know there there's always
Speaker 1: uh when you when you come in on a Monday
Speaker 1: and you look at the tape and and you look
Speaker 1: at it with uh different set of eyes. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can you can always uh uh you know, make
Speaker 1: a make a determination on certain things down the field.
Speaker 1: But you know, Dallas two played a little bit more
Speaker 1: too deep against us than what we've seen uh in
Speaker 1: previous weeks. Uh. Um, you know, I thought that Carson
Speaker 1: was very efficient with with the throws he did make.
Speaker 1: He made some tough throws at the end of the half.
Speaker 1: There were some situations there and you know, but overall, um,
Speaker 1: I thought we came away you know in the passing game, um,
Speaker 1: pretty well in this game. So you know, we will
Speaker 1: evaluate it some more. But but at the same time,
Speaker 1: I thought that the decisions that he made and the
Speaker 1: down the field um throws that we did have were
Speaker 1: We're we're good and you know led to it led
Speaker 1: to a field goal obviously before half. My receiver drops
Speaker 1: are a problem. Well, anytime you drop the ball as
Speaker 1: a problem, Um, you know, well it's you know, everybody
Speaker 1: has to do their job. I talk about it every
Speaker 1: week with the team, and you know, you have to
Speaker 1: do your job to your assignment, no excuses, and and
Speaker 1: um you have to own up to them. And uh,
Speaker 1: we're there some drops in the game you know last
Speaker 1: night that that were that were crucial. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: that's um, that's part of the as part of it.
Speaker 1: And we just got to continue to work and get
Speaker 1: better and and uh, you know, keep putting our putting
Speaker 1: our players in those situations to make those places. You
Speaker 1: said that you were you were good with your wide receivers.
Speaker 1: You said there wasn't going to be any moves at
Speaker 1: the trade deadline considering how they played on Sunday, do
Speaker 1: you feel like you need to upgrade there? And will
Speaker 1: you guys make a move for the devil? As far
Speaker 1: as I know, UM, we're not making any moves. The
Speaker 1: guys we have were the guys we have. We're going
Speaker 1: to continue to work and get better at that position.
Speaker 1: You guys have won play of thirty yards and more
Speaker 1: than the last four games now over two hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty snaps. Can you win without doing anything down the field? Um? Yeah,
Speaker 1: we went nine to oh in Kansas City and and
Speaker 1: and didn't do it. You know, Um, I've seen it done. Um,
Speaker 1: and uh, you can do that and and UM, you
Speaker 1: know it's just uh, we we have to we have
Speaker 1: to figure out and find ways to get the ball
Speaker 1: obviously down the field. Um, you have to trust protection,
Speaker 1: you have to trust reads and progressions, and you got
Speaker 1: to trust the guys to get down to get down
Speaker 1: the field. So there's a lot involved in in in
Speaker 1: in in that kind of stuff. And UM, we just
Speaker 1: have to evaluate it. But yeah, I think you can. Uh,
Speaker 1: you can definitely win last week. Any chance he'll be up, Um,
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll just see where he's at. You know,
Speaker 1: he's still working. Um mentally, he's getting better with with
Speaker 1: the offense and learning learning the role. He's done done
Speaker 1: an outstanding job on the practice squad and and um,
Speaker 1: we'll or with the look teams. Um, not practice squad,
Speaker 1: but with the look teams, and um uh, well, we'll
Speaker 1: see where he's at again this week. His comments after
Speaker 1: the game. I don't look at drops any of that
Speaker 1: type of stuff. I'm tired of hearing about it. It's
Speaker 1: just stupid. I'm wondering how those kind of comments sit
Speaker 1: with you, coming from a first round pick obviously is
Speaker 1: charged with not drop. Well, you know it's it's obviously.
Speaker 1: Um uh you know, we're disappointed. I'm disappointed, um in
Speaker 1: in in in Uh you know the type of comments
Speaker 1: I think you Each individual has to be responsible for
Speaker 1: their own job, obviously, um. And uh, we gotta make
Speaker 1: we gotta make good smart choices and and and everybody's
Speaker 1: mad and disappointed and angry after after tough losses like
Speaker 1: we just came through and and uh, you know, cooler
Speaker 1: heads prevail and we just have to um, you know,
Speaker 1: bite our lips sometimes and and just suck it. Up
Speaker 1: and and and get to work. And you know, um,
Speaker 1: that's what we got to do this week more than incrementally.
Speaker 1: You know, we always talk about making the receivers catch
Speaker 1: the ball better and running backs and securing the ball.
Speaker 1: But you guys have repute. Me you have one on
Speaker 1: your team. Guys have reputations over a stretch of time
Speaker 1: that are counter to any but what any coaching himsels
Speaker 1: are people inherently good or bad in that? And you
Speaker 1: can move the dial in incrementally. I think you can
Speaker 1: move You can definitely move to move the dial, and
Speaker 1: you can move it in a positive direction. I think.
Speaker 1: I think you just got to continue to show confidence
Speaker 1: in that player. You know. The second you don't I
Speaker 1: think is when when when bad things negative more negative
Speaker 1: things can happen to that to that individual. And and listen,
Speaker 1: we're you know, um, we go to work every every
Speaker 1: single day with with with the guys we have and
Speaker 1: and and we just keep we just keep fighting through
Speaker 1: them fighting. There's a lot of football left, a lot
Speaker 1: of season left. And it's like I told you guys,
Speaker 1: after the team, I mean, you're still a good football team.
Speaker 1: You're a great football team. You know, you proved it.
Speaker 1: You proved it again last night. You know you you
Speaker 1: went toe to toe with one of the best teams
Speaker 1: in the National Football League and and um, um, you
Speaker 1: know you prove that that you can, that you can.
Speaker 1: You just gotta eliminate the mistakes. You eliminate the assignment errors,
Speaker 1: you eliminate turnovers. Um, make the make the make the
Speaker 1: pick when you get an opportunity to make those types
Speaker 1: of things, and those those things will help us win
Speaker 1: games down the stretch. Yourself at all in the triple
Speaker 1: and portion taper or anything that you second guess is
Speaker 1: so well, you know what I have. I'm the I'm
Speaker 1: the first one to tell you that. And I'll admit
Speaker 1: that that. Uh. You know, I look at the tape, um,
Speaker 1: not not necessarily from execution the first time around. I
Speaker 1: do that more today. I look at it from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of did I put the guys in the right spots?
Speaker 1: Did I do enough, um to be to be accountable
Speaker 1: for putting our offense in in the right spots by
Speaker 1: play call? And uh, you know you take away from
Speaker 1: this game We're always evaluating. I'm always evaluating myself, the players,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. And you know it's if there's anything
Speaker 1: in this game that that I that I look at
Speaker 1: and point point of finger out for myself. Um, would
Speaker 1: probably be the player in the first quarter on the
Speaker 1: fourth down. You know, we kicked the field goal, we
Speaker 1: got the roughing would have put us at a fourth
Speaker 1: and one and um, you know it would have been
Speaker 1: a situation there and possibly at the seven yard line
Speaker 1: to go for it. Um. And and you know, whether
Speaker 1: you make the fourth and one or not, you know,
Speaker 1: you keep the drive alive or they get the ball
Speaker 1: at the seven yard line, eight yard line and have
Speaker 1: to go the distance. So I look at those plays
Speaker 1: and I need to evaluate those. Um, you know, from
Speaker 1: my own my own standpoint. Ryan Mathews have such a
Speaker 1: limited role yesterday, And was it a reaction to his
Speaker 1: fumbles in the previous one. Wasn't a reaction. I just
Speaker 1: think that Darren went. Darren had the hot hand yesterday.
Speaker 1: Darren was playing outstanding and uh, um he was doing
Speaker 1: he was doing some great things out there. So just
Speaker 1: just want to keep keep Darren in the game. He
Speaker 1: concerned about giving Darren that number of carries at thirty
Speaker 1: three years old, Well, I mean no, Um, I definitely
Speaker 1: think he's capable. I think I think, I think you
Speaker 1: don't want to give him any more than than what
Speaker 1: he got yesterday. But you know, with is with his
Speaker 1: role on special teams and all that too. So but
Speaker 1: but he's I mean, if you know Darren, like I
Speaker 1: know Darren, the way he works during the week, the
Speaker 1: way he prepares himself and he prepares his body and mind,
Speaker 1: you know, um, he's definitely capable of handling that type
Speaker 1: of load. That first quarse you would stand out to
Speaker 1: you more than a fourth quarter se points when you
Speaker 1: had the third and eight that that at the thirty
Speaker 1: yard six yard lost the scrolls and then moved pump
Speaker 1: the board least well in the first quarter obviously, Um,
Speaker 1: and really both of those situations, Uh, we were decisions
Speaker 1: that uh you know had first of all, if I
Speaker 1: had would have gone for it, if we'd accepted the
Speaker 1: penalty and gone for it. And uh and uh you know,
Speaker 1: possibly make the make the fourth and one there, um
Speaker 1: first quarter, you know, seven points over three makes it
Speaker 1: makes a different that situation. That's that's a different first quarter.
Speaker 1: There's you know, maybe less stress or whatever. I mean,
Speaker 1: it's the first quarter of the ball game. And then
Speaker 1: it kind of said it's the tone early, you know,
Speaker 1: the third and eight play. I look at that, and
Speaker 1: I looked at it again this morning, looked at on
Speaker 1: a plane last night, and and um, I'd have called
Speaker 1: the same thing again. Um. It's assignment football. It's one
Speaker 1: of our basic fundamental plays that we've we've wrapped the
Speaker 1: entire season in a man situation which we got and uh,
Speaker 1: it just comes down to assignments and and um, we
Speaker 1: busted one assignment and negative play happened. So you know,
Speaker 1: every we have to look at it. Um, we have
Speaker 1: to own up to those those It starts with me obviously, UM.
Speaker 1: And then each man on the team has to has
Speaker 1: to own up to their responsibility and make sure that
Speaker 1: those those negative plays don't happen again. You know, by
Speaker 1: nature of the play, it's going in reverse and you're
Speaker 1: in field goal range and if it if it gets
Speaker 1: dropped for a loss, that that pulls you potentially out
Speaker 1: on the way. Yeah, and and and the thing is
Speaker 1: too in a way, I kind of and you guys
Speaker 1: know football, I mean, come on, it's any play has
Speaker 1: the ability to go backwards or to run a pass,
Speaker 1: a sack in those situations. I know where we were
Speaker 1: on the on the field, it is a relatively safe
Speaker 1: football play against darren sproles out in space. UM, in
Speaker 1: a man coverage, look that that we have the ability
Speaker 1: to to to run some interference on some linebackers. Um,
Speaker 1: I e. Shawn Lee who made the play. We had
Speaker 1: a chance to run interference. We didn't run the interference
Speaker 1: like we were supposed to. And so I've got to
Speaker 1: coach that play better. I've got to coach that play better.
Speaker 1: We make that play. We are inside the twenty yard
Speaker 1: line when you look at it on film, we're inside
Speaker 1: the twenty yard line with the first and ten or
Speaker 1: if anything, it works, it's a fourth down and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know you're kicking the field goal from a lot
Speaker 1: closer in than than than what happened yourself on the
Speaker 1: decision not to kick the field goal. No, I did not. Um.
Speaker 1: You know, that was another one where I felt too
Speaker 1: where we were in the game. Defense was beginning to
Speaker 1: kind of kind of catch their legs and they had
Speaker 1: some momentum and we had stopped them, and we were
Speaker 1: stopping their run game. Um. You know, outside of the
Speaker 1: first quarter, you know, Elliott had like twelve twelve rushes
Speaker 1: in the second twelve and yards in the third, like
Speaker 1: fourteen in the four. So we were doing a great
Speaker 1: job in a run game. So I was trusting my
Speaker 1: defense in that situation, and and to pin them back
Speaker 1: inside the inside the fifteen at the ten to make
Speaker 1: them drive the length of the field. I felt real
Speaker 1: comfortable in that decision. If you're saying you trusted your defense,
Speaker 1: then couldn't you say, oh, well, if we do missus
Speaker 1: field goal, I'll trust my defense and stopping. Yeah, when
Speaker 1: you give them the ball now like the you know,
Speaker 1: thirty eight yard line something like that, the reward two scores,
Speaker 1: it was six minutes to go. You're up to scores.
Speaker 1: I also look at the third and eight. If we
Speaker 1: just execute a little bit better, then we're not in
Speaker 1: this situation. We're not talking about it today the running backs.
Speaker 1: Will Darren be your primary ball carrier moving forward? I
Speaker 1: can't say that one hundred percent. Um. It's something we'll
Speaker 1: evaluate these next couple of days and make that make
Speaker 1: that determination. But until then, you know, it's still it's
Speaker 1: still Ryan Matthews and then and then Darren in those situations.
Speaker 1: And we got to get Windell and Kenyon going a
Speaker 1: little bit too not being more aggressive with the timeouts
Speaker 1: at the end, you have a chance to maybe make
Speaker 1: them punt and give your stuff at least a chance. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wan be back again today and looked at that,
Speaker 1: and uh, I felt, if you did, you know, doing
Speaker 1: the math on everything, and you burned two timeouts, possibly
Speaker 1: in those situations, you might get the ball back with
Speaker 1: about fifteen seconds one time out and have to go
Speaker 1: thirty thirty five yards to kick the field goal um.
Speaker 1: Possibly in that situation. But again, I was relying on
Speaker 1: the fact that that I was our defense was playing
Speaker 1: extremely well at the time we were we were we
Speaker 1: were starting to put pressure on back those last couple
Speaker 1: of a couple of possessions that they had, and I
Speaker 1: was fully confident in our team going into overtime that
Speaker 1: we were going to win the game. Is big quarterback
Speaker 1: running back in college back. He's renowned for football instincts.
Speaker 1: Any consideration of making him one of those salt Away
Speaker 1: Foyt quarter guys because of his hands, I mean, you
Speaker 1: you try. Yeah, You've lost like I think three games
Speaker 1: on a point quarter Columbus so far, so yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: it's something will evaluate. Uh. You know, obviously he had
Speaker 1: an opportunity to make a play on a third down.
Speaker 1: And we're going to continue to to feed our tight
Speaker 1: ends feed him in those matchup situations like that, and um,
Speaker 1: you know the best we can to to put our
Speaker 1: guys in those those opportunities, and and um our tight
Speaker 1: ends are are you know, I think another one that
Speaker 1: that really has been playing kind of a kind of
Speaker 1: having a quiet but a good season as Brent Sellick.
Speaker 1: And and he's another one that we can begin to
Speaker 1: uh possibly look at to get the ball to in
Speaker 1: those situations. Four late in the game and Carson went
Speaker 1: to Trey Burton versus Brandon car Was that the first
Speaker 1: read for was that? I mean that was because it
Speaker 1: was it was it was a bigger body on a corner,
Speaker 1: good situa. We've done that before this season, already did
Speaker 1: it through pre you know, through training camp work on
Speaker 1: those situations and had full confidence that that we were
Speaker 1: going to make that play. Selick, I'm sorry, zach Ertz
Speaker 1: said after the game that my number is just not
Speaker 1: being called right now. I'll never second guess. The coaches
Speaker 1: will never second guess Carson. That's just the way the
Speaker 1: games have gone. Would you agree with that that his
Speaker 1: number is not being called. It's it's how do you
Speaker 1: say number? Um, you know, maybe he may not be
Speaker 1: the primary guy every time, but the times that he
Speaker 1: might be, uh secondary primary worst secondary. There's been times
Speaker 1: where he's he's been open and Carson's gone gone a
Speaker 1: different way with the ball. So a lot of times
Speaker 1: it's it's, uh, it's progression of the play. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: he's doing an outstanding job when when when when called upon,
Speaker 1: he made some He made a couple of good catches
Speaker 1: again last night, and um, you know, we continue to
Speaker 1: try to find ways, you know, um, to to to
Speaker 1: keep keep feeding him the football, you know, doing the
Speaker 1: fake punt. I just think we just lost lost uh, um,
Speaker 1: a little bit of focus right there. We were fully
Speaker 1: anticipating the punt and and um you know, um it
Speaker 1: just lost awareness a little bit on the on the
Speaker 1: punter and and uh you know, um ended up on
Speaker 1: a thirty yard game decision to put Jalen Mills as
Speaker 1: the slot corner instead of the plan that you told
Speaker 1: us about with Malcolm going in and then Jaylen Watkins
Speaker 1: back in safety. You talk about Jayalen Mills, Yeah, because
Speaker 1: Jayalen Mills was in in at the nickel spot quite
Speaker 1: a bit yesterday. Yeah, it was. It was again, it
Speaker 1: was it was sort of you know, you also saw
Speaker 1: Malcolm in there yesterday. You saw Jaylen in there yesterday,
Speaker 1: and it was by scheme um by, by coverage by
Speaker 1: uh uh um by just sort of the matchup and
Speaker 1: what we were trying to get done defensively, whether it
Speaker 1: be by blitz or or just the coverage that you saw.
Speaker 1: Especially later in the game, we started bringing a little
Speaker 1: more pressure, so Jalen ended up being the guy inside
Speaker 1: and Malcolm was back in the safety spot, either blitzing
Speaker 1: or covering eighty two. You're running backs coming the ball
Speaker 1: away three times in the last four weeks and a
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. What what kind of message to you to
Speaker 1: give them? And and what does it mean for a
Speaker 1: guy like Dell Smallwood? I get another chance? Oh for sure,
Speaker 1: I mean, I you know, listen this this I'm not
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going to stand here and I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna just just be down on a guy. You know,
Speaker 1: it'd be easy to do that. It'd be easy, so
Speaker 1: easy to do that. And my job is to coach
Speaker 1: these players up and and uh as coaches, that's that's
Speaker 1: what we get paid to do. So, um, we're going
Speaker 1: to continue to work on it. Talk about it, coach
Speaker 1: these guys up. We got to have one percent confidence,
Speaker 1: you know, in our guys in those situations that they
Speaker 1: will make the play. And like I told the team
Speaker 1: at the end of the game and then that dressing
Speaker 1: room that that that that game lasts, it is going
Speaker 1: to make us a better football team down the stretch.
Speaker 1: And I fully believe that. And and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it'd be easy to point the finger today sitting here,
Speaker 1: but but that's not the case. I mean, we're we're united,
Speaker 1: we're going forward and uh uh we got all the
Speaker 1: confidence in the world and those guys and that you've
Speaker 1: now lost two games, we had quarter games on the road.
Speaker 1: What's the teaching point game, man, what do you tell
Speaker 1: the guys about? Yeah, I mean, we just gotta learned
Speaker 1: to finish, bottom line, got learned to finish. It comes
Speaker 1: down when it comes down to that crunch time at
Speaker 1: the end of the game. I mean, you know, we
Speaker 1: had opportunities to sack the quarterback, um let him out.
Speaker 1: We had opportunities to make plays on the ball. We
Speaker 1: you know, we didn't do it. We had chances of
Speaker 1: of completing some passes you know whether protection, but we
Speaker 1: didn't UM, And those are those are all learning and
Speaker 1: teachable moments for for a team that. UM. We we're
Speaker 1: young on offense at skill positions. We understand that, but
Speaker 1: those are those are moments that are going to make
Speaker 1: us better down the stretch and we just have to
Speaker 1: learned to finish and uh and focus on that UM
Speaker 1: each and every week. It's been a while since you
Speaker 1: guys have gotten into that consistent rhythm on offense. And
Speaker 1: I think it's three weeks in a row now you
Speaker 1: haven't had three hundred yards in a game. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like you're you're you're close to to be where
Speaker 1: you want to be or do you feel like it's
Speaker 1: kind of gotten away from you a little bit? I
Speaker 1: feel like it's really really close. I mean, you put
Speaker 1: the tape on again this morning and you watch it
Speaker 1: and and obviously you're, UM. You know, you're sitting there
Speaker 1: watching in your office, and and it's you're calm, and
Speaker 1: you're you're kind of going at it and you're just going, man,
Speaker 1: we're so close, We're so close, and UM, the guys
Speaker 1: are the guys are I can't say enough about how
Speaker 1: well they're working and preparing and practice and putting themselves
Speaker 1: in these positions. But you know, we do have to
Speaker 1: finish better. Obviously, Um, there's just it's it's not an
Speaker 1: lack of effort at all. I think you could you
Speaker 1: would agree that that the effort is there. It's just
Speaker 1: now we have to continue to fine tune in detail
Speaker 1: our work because little things get magnified in games like
Speaker 1: we played last night. I think you do upon start
Speaker 1: to start when you watch the film, see what he's
Speaker 1: getting better. He's getting better, he's getting better, he's getting better,
Speaker 1: and hum, it's good to see. It's good to see.
Speaker 1: On the road loud stadium, silent count again, had another
Speaker 1: had two weeks in a row. Now where he's he's uh,
Speaker 1: he's done. He's done a great job. So yeah, he's done. Well.
Speaker 1: Do you feel like you're still searching for the right
Speaker 1: formula on how to kind of cater to the strength
Speaker 1: of your team? Seems to be defense and special teams,
Speaker 1: putting them in good positions while so not being too
Speaker 1: conservative on the offensive side of the ball. I think
Speaker 1: there's some some of that. I think I think we're
Speaker 1: still you know, figuring out Um, you know, dgb's getting
Speaker 1: a little more work. Obviously, we're trying to figure him out.
Speaker 1: We kind of know where he's what he can do
Speaker 1: in his strengths and weaknesses. UM. You know, Uh, obviously
Speaker 1: our tight ends. I think we understand what they are
Speaker 1: and who they are and and and the and the
Speaker 1: and the the magnitude that they could help us. The
Speaker 1: run game, Uh, you know is probably an area that
Speaker 1: that we continue to improve. I know we can get
Speaker 1: even better there, um, full confidence in our offensive line there.
Speaker 1: And you know, Carson gets better every week and and
Speaker 1: and we've we figure out and the more we're around
Speaker 1: and and and know what he likes and under understand
Speaker 1: what he can do. Um, then we can Taylor Taylor
Speaker 1: game plan. So a little bit of we're still trying
Speaker 1: to figure that out. But at the same time, I
Speaker 1: think we have a good feel for for who we
Speaker 1: are and and uh and what we try to get
Speaker 1: done in these games. Parson's getting better every week. Um.
Speaker 1: For outsiders watching the games, it probably doesn't look like that. Um,
Speaker 1: what are you seeing from him that tells you he's
Speaker 1: getting better, even though maybe the numbers aren't there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the numbers may not be there. But the thing is
Speaker 1: is is he's not turning the ball over okay, which
Speaker 1: which he you know, last couple of weeks he's had
Speaker 1: a he's had a couple of interceptions. He's really protecting
Speaker 1: the football a little bit better. And UM, he's understanding,
Speaker 1: you know, I think, how to spread the ball around,
Speaker 1: you know, using his using his personnel a little bit
Speaker 1: better each week. UM. You know, Uh, I think just
Speaker 1: understanding the offense. UM, what we're trying to you know,
Speaker 1: when a play comes in, what we're trying to get done,
Speaker 1: what we're what we're why I'm calling that play in
Speaker 1: that situation. He's getting better there the sideline, which a
Speaker 1: lot of people don't see. The communication, UM, with his
Speaker 1: offensive line, with his receivers, with myself, with Frank, Uh
Speaker 1: is the best I've really been around. UM. And so
Speaker 1: there's there's some things on on the field off the
Speaker 1: field that Um it's it's small, but they're but they're
Speaker 1: there's there's steps in the right direction. Is that a
Speaker 1: function of the reeds he's making or the way you're
Speaker 1: calling together? Um? Could be a little both, could be
Speaker 1: a little both. Um. You know, obviously we're gonna We're
Speaker 1: gonna attack the game based on what what the defense
Speaker 1: has given us, and uh and utilize it, utilize it
Speaker 1: that way. Um, some of it, some of it can
Speaker 1: fall on the quarterback obviously because because he ultimately has
Speaker 1: has the final say and all the decisions. But um, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and and then and then just personnel and
Speaker 1: and uh, just understanding the design of the play. Its
Speaker 1: displaying proper respect for your white outs interview. I mean,
Speaker 1: Chris Collins with made a point less night that said
Speaker 1: that they didn't seem to be defending, as if they
Speaker 1: were really afraid of your explosives opposing defenses. You said,
Speaker 1: what the defense? Yeah, what the what the um to
Speaker 1: your personnel as well? You know, I think I think that, uh,
Speaker 1: I think there might be a little bit to that,
Speaker 1: you know. Um, But at the same same time, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't think I don't think a defense necessarily goes
Speaker 1: in and and says that they're they're gonna you know,
Speaker 1: they're gonna focus on Darren. Yeah, they're gonna focus on
Speaker 1: Darren a little bit. Um, might focus on our tight
Speaker 1: ends a little bit in coverage. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: I think I think what we've seen the last couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. Is they're they're just playing their defense and
Speaker 1: they're they're teams that are that are executing their defense
Speaker 1: and not necessarily taking one aspect away, you know, from
Speaker 1: our offense. Okay, thanks guys,
