WEBVTT - Press Pass: Jordan Matthews 0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:12.520 Yeah, do you feel like there's plays there down the 0:00:12.560 --> 0:00:15.200 field and how important is it to kind of add 0:00:15.240 --> 0:00:17.599 that dimension to the offense to get that back. Yeah, 0:00:17.600 --> 0:00:19.400 you want to definitely have those plays down the field. 0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.680 The young just want to be taking you know, shots 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:24.440 and not be completing them because then you know, one 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.000 it's plays that the defense are still not threatened by us. 0:00:28.080 --> 0:00:30.240 Then they go back and watch film, they say, Okay, no, 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.720 we're not worried about this team going beating us deep. 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:34.920 And that takes away to underneath the game because now 0:00:35.159 --> 0:00:37.839 teams start playing cover for the real up clothes, kind 0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.320 of like how the vikings were, and then they start 0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:43.560 messing with our intermediate game and it gets safety's the 0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:46.159 ability to be in the run game too. So we 0:00:46.280 --> 0:00:47.879 just got to make sure we start completing on some 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.000 of those balls. Uh. You know, guys, we got to 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:51.880 finish on our rouse. We got to go up catch 0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:53.840 the ball. And then you know, Carson, like I said, 0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:57.080 he's gonna continue to trust us, and he's not you know, gunshot. 0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.520 He will go to the sidelines say hey, let's let's 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.560 let's run double goal. Let's let's get a play here 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.680 that we actually um had a play a long play 0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.399 dialed up. We had a shot doubt up on one 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:09.520 snaps that he ended up scrambling out getting the spros. 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:12.800 So obviously, still that shows how Carson's ability to make 0:01:12.800 --> 0:01:14.720 a play out of nothing. But that was the time 0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:16.240 we were going to actually take a shot. He was like, hey, 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.120 I was definitely coming to you no matter what. So 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:22.200 he has that you know mindset still and we do too. 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:24.520 We just gotta go do it. The first two games 0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:32.280 with past jobs, what's changed? Do better, don't? I don't 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:36.440 know too much that. I think you always improved. There's 0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.039 always things you can do well. I think obviously we 0:01:39.080 --> 0:01:43.760 saw a big difference in our past how much time 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.080 Carson had as far as this pass game in the 0:01:46.120 --> 0:01:49.880 Reskins game, because I mean that would change the Restkins game. 0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:53.400 But essentially we're still working out some stuff in Carson 0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:56.840 that time to throw this pass game no sacks online 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.600 did a Margot's job keeping him keeping him clean. But 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:02.160 then we to other mistakes. Then you talk about penalties, 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.840 you talk about these other things too. On top of 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.640 still trying to go out there and make plays. You know, 0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:10.680 it's got to be a flow. You know, we're when 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.400 we're talking being in third and fifteen teams are going 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.840 to play drop eight. You know how much success are 0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.880 we going to have? But we gotta stay ahead the chains, 0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.359 and that's when we can have successful plays. That's when 0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.720 we actually go out there and complete on long drives. 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:26.880 You know, you talk about the first two games versus 0:02:27.160 --> 0:02:32.000 Chicago and verse Cleveland, we were ahead of sticks, you 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:34.160 know what I'm saying. And then even the Steelers game, 0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.200 I might have had two targets. Who cares we blew 0:02:36.240 --> 0:02:38.480 them out? So I'll take zero targets if we do 0:02:38.520 --> 0:02:41.839 that every game. So it's just one of those things 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.440 where the whole offense has to just continue to get 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.040 better and work to improve, and then just from my end, 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.399 just always make sure I'm a Bible option getting open 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.240 and catching the ball when it comes to me. How 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:54.680 cool is if that the NFC East has two young 0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:58.760 rookie quarterbacks like Carson and Dak who can kind of 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.640 I mean people talk about Brady played each other for 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:04.600 twenty years. How cool is it that these two guys 0:03:04.600 --> 0:03:06.760 are in this division? Yeah, I think it's cool. You know, 0:03:07.440 --> 0:03:11.639 obviously Paydon Brady. That's that's an extremely you know, high 0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:13.440 honor to be mentioned with those guys. But I mean, 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.000 obviously I've spoke highly Carson. I know that he can 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.040 be named with those guys just with more years of playing. 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.080 And I also have a high respect for Dak too. 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.680 One thing I knew about Dak was he was going 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.520 to be able to transition to the league because he 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:29.760 had played multiple years being the guy. You know, you 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.079 have so many guys come from college, they have one 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:35.440 good year and then they leave, so they don't actually 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:37.400 know what it's like to have a full offseason where 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.680 people prepare for you twenty four to seven and then 0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.560 you still come out there and put up numbers. So 0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:43.440 he has a good mindset. You're talking about a guy 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:45.880 who is a Poys quarterback. He knows what it means 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:47.280 to be a leader, and he knows what it means 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:49.480 to be game playing for and I feel like Carson's 0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:52.160 the same way. The thing I love about Carson obviously 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:54.040 is he has that same ability, but he also has 0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.880 a chip on his shoulder. So you're talking about two 0:03:55.960 --> 0:04:00.720 guys that could potentially be like a you know Brady 0:04:01.040 --> 0:04:04.360 and you know Payton rivalry. The only difference is that 0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:06.560 you're gonna get this two times a year, you know, 0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:09.680 and possibly playoffs. So, like I said, it's a it's 0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:11.120 a fun thing to be a part of. But I'm 0:04:11.120 --> 0:04:14.720 glad we got eleven. As far as like following up 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.440 on that question, as far as like working quarterbacks are concernment, 0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:22.000 is there like a certain certain attitude they have to have, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.520 like in order to you know, for them to be 0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:26.159 ready to play right away, Because it's one thing to 0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:28.280 play on a bad team, I gonna do well, but 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:32.159 you know, it's another thing like these two guys. Yeah, 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:34.360 I think one you definitely gotta be fearless. You gotta 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.400 be fearless just from your standpoint. Um, that's that's the 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:41.640 biggest thing, because they put you out there, but in 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:43.200 your mind set like I'm gonna need a couple of 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:44.960 years to get this going, then you're definitely not going 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:46.520 to be able to come in and do what you 0:04:46.560 --> 0:04:49.720 need to do. But also, like I say, the thing 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.599 about the NFL that I don't think people are giving 0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:54.160 them cred to is you have to have a good opportunity. 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:56.720 You know, your opportunities, and then the situations you get 0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.160 put in are usually going to determine how well you are. 0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.839 Lots of times as NFL athlete. I said, when my 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.680 receiver class, we all came in and everybody's like, oh, 0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.720 this class justified everything that we ever thought about wide receivers. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.560 But at the end of the day too, before this, 0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.680 the trend was a lot of receivers got drafted and 0:05:13.680 --> 0:05:15.760 they always went to teams and they had like this 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.800 older guy and then they just kind of like kind 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:21.080 of you know, eased in. Well, most of us came 0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:25.359 in and they were automatically number one receiver. So who's 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:27.760 when you're giving a lot, there's a lot required of 0:05:27.839 --> 0:05:32.240 you too, you know, and so just having that situation opportunities, 0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.560 you're going to naturally do better. So you talk about 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.359 guys like Dad and Carson and only these guys fearless, 0:05:38.400 --> 0:05:41.080 the great players, but also I feel like they're both 0:05:41.080 --> 0:05:43.720 in great situations too, and they have great opportunities. You know, 0:05:43.760 --> 0:05:46.040 they've got coaches that believe in them, and they also 0:05:46.120 --> 0:05:47.840 have I mean, I know we have what I feel like, 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:49.840 it's the best defense in the league. So you can't 0:05:49.839 --> 0:05:52.359 tell me that Carson doesn't like the fact that we 0:05:52.440 --> 0:05:55.640 have that defense and that special teams unit also on 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.080 inside too, that takes a lot of the you know, 0:05:58.120 --> 0:06:00.279 stress off him, a lot of pressure off him, and 0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:01.719 he's able to just go out and worry about what 0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.840 he has to do. You're two games down there with 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:09.960 both games for right. Um, is there something about that 0:06:09.960 --> 0:06:13.680 that venue plenty fun time games there that that regulates 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.120 with you? No, bro, I mean to be honest, the 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.680 ball just got thrown to me, so I mean I 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.520 was like, Okay, well I might as well catching run, 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.719 you know. So Um, but I'm going to take the 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:25.800 same attitude I do into every single game. You know, 0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.520 Dallas it's a cool place to play. I mean it's 0:06:28.560 --> 0:06:31.479 like a concert, like it's crazy. I mean, I can't 0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.640 like how the time we go it really doesn't feel 0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:35.240 like in a way game. It feels like just this 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:38.719 big just like hoop Law. Like, you know, it's crazy 0:06:38.760 --> 0:06:41.760 because all the Eagles fans they travel like crazy that game. 0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:44.800 The Cowboys fans want to be there, they're fighting each other. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:46.680 And then you got tourists there because they just want 0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.840 to see you know, Jerry World. And then there's big 0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:52.000 TV that's big as like three cities. So it's a 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.040 whole bunch of stuff going on. So at the time, 0:06:54.080 --> 0:06:55.960 I think the DVS don't even know it's be running around, 0:06:56.000 --> 0:06:57.280 so I guess it's I have a couple of good 0:06:57.279 --> 0:07:02.520 games there. So mars Playborn seems to be coming into 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.320 his own this season. I know you're going against him 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.440 at his past and obviously you're watching the film. Now, 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:10.000 what are some of the things that you're seeing that 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:12.600 he's doing differently that's allowing him to play as well 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.400 as he does. I think, you know with Morris and 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:17.360 you obviously you have to ask him, but from from 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.280 my observations, um, just watching him, man, I really think 0:07:20.280 --> 0:07:22.240 he's settled in. You know. I think sometimes when you 0:07:22.240 --> 0:07:25.040 get drafted and there's that first round label beside you, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.400 you feel like you have to press to meet the 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.400 standard that nobody else really actually set for you. It's 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:33.240 actually you doing it on your own. And so I 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.200 think once he got through that little stint where he 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.480 was dealing with some things with the team, when they 0:07:38.520 --> 0:07:40.320 when he came back and they put their trust in 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:42.400 him and he was gonna be that corner, you know. Um, 0:07:42.560 --> 0:07:44.800 I think now he's just selling in his role. He's 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.320 being physical, he's taking his chances when he can. But 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:50.160 also I just think that he's playing way more poised. 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:52.200 You know, and that's why I really see on film 0:07:52.200 --> 0:07:55.800 he's not like getting beat on double moves all the time. 0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.800 He's actually like, you know, playing smart, doing his job. 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:01.280 He's a guy we definitely gotta be f What do 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.720 you see from that broa defense or the whole and 0:08:04.840 --> 0:08:07.200 there's still a lot of cover to there. Yeah, the 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:10.760 ship things, Yeah, man, I'll tell you what they got. 0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.360 They got some good personnel. Number fifty. I mean, shan 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:15.200 Lee whenever he's out there on the field needs to 0:08:15.200 --> 0:08:17.800 be accounting for it because you talk about a lot 0:08:17.840 --> 0:08:20.160 of routes across the middle of the field, he's taking 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.400 care of a lot of those. Obviously, fifty five I'm 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.680 pretty sure Rolando's not playing, so you know, him being 0:08:25.760 --> 0:08:27.600 him when you see fifty five and fifty, that's a 0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.320 good tenem. So fifty five not being there, um, I 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.719 feel like will obviously help us out a little bit. 0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.720 And then um, but as far as coverage wise, you know, 0:08:35.920 --> 0:08:37.800 they're going to play their fair share, man, you know. 0:08:37.840 --> 0:08:40.080 As far as zone, you just got to find a spot, 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.000 you know, and then that's all it is. And then 0:08:42.320 --> 0:08:44.480 that's all about just us protecting and giving cards to 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:47.000 time to throw it. But we study man to man, 0:08:47.320 --> 0:08:49.400 and when we go in and we see teams that 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.480 don't play a lot of man, it's kind of like, Okay, 0:08:51.520 --> 0:08:53.559 you know, there's only so much of them you can watch. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:55.720 This team loves to play man. They've got the guys 0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.400 to do it. Morris Clayborne obviously he's coming into his 0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.800 own thirty one Byron. I think they have a lot 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.000 of trusting him to put him on anybody. Car has 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:07.520 been a big money guy for them. They feel comfortable 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:09.480 with him too. And then they have Safti's that they 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:12.000 even rolled down to, you know with Wilcoxon Church. So 0:09:12.320 --> 0:09:15.600 they're a team that really really um you know, trust 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.920 their guys in man and man coverage. I'm pretty sure 0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:21.200 Scandrick's coming off of injury. He should be back for 0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.040 this game. And I know the type player he is, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.480 very skilled, very confident, So they they're willing to put 0:09:26.480 --> 0:09:28.199 their guys in those situations. So we just gotta go 0:09:28.320 --> 0:09:30.560 to win, yep.
