WEBVTT - Bowles: 'We Control Our Own Destiny' (12/7)

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:03.160
<v Speaker 1>How can you uh get us on the stats of

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 1>the injured players, including the Rell. I mean he comes in,

0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 1>he does like workouts. He's still working his way back,

0:00:12.520 --> 0:00:16.840
<v Speaker 1>but he is feeling a lot better. Uh. Cat Apollo

0:00:16.880 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>has got a foot injury obviously is probably be a

0:00:20.320 --> 0:00:22.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks. I don't know whether it will shut

0:00:22.200 --> 0:00:26.600
<v Speaker 1>him down or not. Curly as the migraine, so as

0:00:26.640 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the week goes on, he should get better. Marcus Williams

0:00:29.640 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>will be waiting and seeing on this week see how

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>he feels. You mentioned with the foot injury, but he

0:00:41.920 --> 0:00:47.360
<v Speaker 1>had tested this morning. What were the results? No, heah

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the possible list Frank H. So you're now deciding whether

0:00:56.240 --> 0:01:00.360
<v Speaker 1>I are and it possibility. Yeah, we're in the We're

0:01:00.360 --> 0:01:04.080
<v Speaker 1>decided that we're gonna meet on that later. Godd. It

0:01:04.120 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>was an encouraging to you that Durrell was able to

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.959
<v Speaker 1>attend the game, and just to confirm he's still in

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>the protocol. Yeah, he's still on the protocol and he

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:15.320
<v Speaker 1>WoT incurred and that he's able to send the game

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he's moving around a little better. We'll see

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 1>how he feels later in the week. H. Has Darrell

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.880
<v Speaker 1>been able to do any any more physical activity at

0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>this point yet, like physical activity not to the point

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:39.840
<v Speaker 1>where I could say he's out there moving around everything,

0:01:39.880 --> 0:01:45.520
<v Speaker 1>but he's not something like physical activity. Godd what's your

0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>message to the team as you guys get to the

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>sup fourth quarter of the season, that's the same thing.

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:53.920
<v Speaker 1>We gotta finish, you know, we gotta play with more

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.040
<v Speaker 1>pois in the beginning of the game. The message is

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:58.960
<v Speaker 1>the same every week. We know what kind of situation

0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:00.840
<v Speaker 1>we're in right now, We've got four weeks left. We

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.720
<v Speaker 1>gotta take one game at a time, and we can't

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>look ahead, I'll look around or look behind us. We

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>just gotta stay on course and do the things we

0:02:07.480 --> 0:02:12.400
<v Speaker 1>need to do to get better and win. You allow

0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>yourself to look at um the playoff picture at all

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and where where you're at as far as the af

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.720
<v Speaker 1>wild cart, um do you know where you're at? But

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:24.760
<v Speaker 1>you know if you don't win your games, you're not

0:02:24.760 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>gonna be there long. So you know, we control our

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.960
<v Speaker 1>own destiny. We understand that we got to win out

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:32.120
<v Speaker 1>and try to get in there. So we're just gonna

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>take it as that. We can't look at nobody else.

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Todd Jeff comblent and we played a couple of snaps

0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>on offense yesterday. What was the reason behind it? I

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 1>have no reason. Obviously some of the package we had

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:48.919
<v Speaker 1>that we're working better than others, so we stuck with those.

0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>How does every feeling all right? I know his playing

0:02:53.720 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>time was a little more limited yesterday than I happened. Yeah,

0:02:58.000 --> 0:02:59.960
<v Speaker 1>he's fine. I mean again, if I want to pay

0:03:00.000 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>because we're a little different that we were having success

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.960
<v Speaker 1>in so we stuck with him and had the hot hands,

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 1>so we got a little more playing time. What we

0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>are um, what would you say to the team about

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the penalties when you guys get together wednesday? We got

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>to clean them up. We know a lot of them

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.400
<v Speaker 1>were hot head penalties that we know we can't have

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 1>and going forward, if we want to win ball games

0:03:25.440 --> 0:03:27.960
<v Speaker 1>and be consistent, we can't have those type of penalties.

0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>It's been a while since they flared up, but they

0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>flared up yesterday. Look at just checking out on the

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>point return for the touchdown. What is your evaluation on

0:03:44.160 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>what what specifically went wrong with? No, we didn't tackle him.

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean they set up a good wall. The guy

0:03:51.160 --> 0:03:52.760
<v Speaker 1>is a good return in HAIs has been a good

0:03:52.800 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>return in the league for a couple of years now.

0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>He made a good play if they had a good

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.800
<v Speaker 1>setup and had a good scheme. We gotta get off blocks.

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>We can't get single block, and we gotta get through

0:04:01.640 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>the ball. Result of low punt goal. You know, it

0:04:07.280 --> 0:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>seemed like Devin got down there quickly, but but over

0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>pursued a little because you know, you know, and the

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>other guys weren't really caught up to him yet. Uh,

0:04:14.560 --> 0:04:18.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, we gotta make no we gotta get the

0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.560
<v Speaker 1>guy down the ground, regardless of the both tont of

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.840
<v Speaker 1>them bounds. We gotta tackle. I guess so, are you

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:29.240
<v Speaker 1>pictured what has performed so far this year? I'm sorry

0:04:29.279 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 1>to say that again. Are you frustrated by having special teams?

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:36.760
<v Speaker 1>Has performed this year? Certain games, yes, but not all

0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the games. Certain games they played well, certain games they haven't.

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. You're kind of known as someone who likes

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:47.200
<v Speaker 1>to blitz. For the last two weeks, you really haven't

0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:50.680
<v Speaker 1>done that, and uh, you know, particularly yesterday, you know,

0:04:50.800 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 1>GRAMARTI said, you kind of focused more on coverage in

0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>the first half, a little more man in the second half.

0:04:55.440 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>Was there was there anything the Giants were doing that,

0:04:58.120 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>they dictated that kind of defense for And no, it's

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.320
<v Speaker 1>just by game plan. You know, when your blitz a

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.680
<v Speaker 1>lot initially, and I did the same thing in Arizona.

0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>When you're known as a blitzer in thirtain situations that

0:05:09.360 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think you're going to blitz, you don't blitz, and you

0:05:11.880 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>kind of play possum a little bit. And sometimes the

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:16.400
<v Speaker 1>thread of the blitz works just as well as the blitz.

0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:24.159
<v Speaker 1>And there when a team comes back like you did

0:05:24.680 --> 0:05:28.359
<v Speaker 1>in the last half of the fourth and then in overtime,

0:05:28.960 --> 0:05:32.040
<v Speaker 1>what I mean, can can there be a carryover effective

0:05:32.720 --> 0:05:35.600
<v Speaker 1>the you know, the team's psyche and you know confidence level,

0:05:37.440 --> 0:05:40.400
<v Speaker 1>hopefully from a great standpoint of never giving up. Like

0:05:40.520 --> 0:05:43.560
<v Speaker 1>I said earlier, I don't think you can become a

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.920
<v Speaker 1>complete team until you have one of those type of games.

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>The games the previous six games that we won and

0:05:48.320 --> 0:05:52.080
<v Speaker 1>we were basically winning pretty much pretty good, and we

0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:55.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't have any pressure packed type games where we had

0:05:55.240 --> 0:05:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to come from behind and had to be stal war.

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.440
<v Speaker 1>At least we hadn't won them anyway. You know, we

0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:02.480
<v Speaker 1>failed in Buffalo, and we failed in New England, and

0:06:02.520 --> 0:06:04.920
<v Speaker 1>we failed in Philly. Obviously, we failed in a couple

0:06:04.920 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>of games that we ran and didn't win for the

0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>comeback and finally have some success and win one of

0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>those games really said a lot, hopefully about the growth

0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>of our team. Is that kind of why you had

0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>that emotional release there at the end of the game.

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>Some of the guys that said that, you know that

0:06:20.560 --> 0:06:22.479
<v Speaker 1>that's as excited as they've seen you. Is That's sort

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>of why you had that, because you know, your team

0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>showed you what you had kind of been waiting to see. Yeah,

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I've been looking for that, and you know, I'm happy

0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.040
<v Speaker 1>that they got to see it themselves more than I

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.119
<v Speaker 1>got to see it. You know, they need to believe

0:06:35.160 --> 0:06:37.080
<v Speaker 1>it themselves, and I think they got a chance to

0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 1>see it and they put in the work and and

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 1>finish a ball game out and to come back the

0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>way we did, and for those guys to finish out

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>the way they did, I was happy for Can you

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:51.279
<v Speaker 1>describe what it was like? We saw the video on

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:54.440
<v Speaker 1>the website. Wallie Johnson looked pretty happy after the game,

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>even did a little dance if you could call it that.

0:06:57.080 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>What was it? It was his first win ever over

0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>the Giants. What would the likes to do him that

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>way man. That's why I gave him a game ball.

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, he hadn't beaten the Zions since he's been

0:07:08.279 --> 0:07:11.200
<v Speaker 1>the owner here. I think it was twenty three years though,

0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>and he's been an owner maybe fifteen sixteen, But you know,

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it was it was just a great victory. It is

0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a great team victory. Is you know, something that brought

0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>everybody together hopefully closer and for us to catapult and

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>go forward, you'd like to think, but it was a

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>great atmosphere the locker room. You guys have won consecutive

0:07:32.880 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 1>games a few times this year and haven't been able

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:36.760
<v Speaker 1>to win their third one. Is that kind of the

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.400
<v Speaker 1>next step for the team in the developments? Starting to

0:07:39.400 --> 0:07:43.600
<v Speaker 1>stack some wins here? Yeah, you gotta stack unless December.

0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you can't afford to slip. And we just

0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:47.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta take it one game at a time and focus

0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>on Tennessee and get ready for them. Do you have

0:07:52.000 --> 0:07:55.120
<v Speaker 1>any early thoughts on Mariota and what you're seeing in

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>so far? He's as good as advertised, you know, when

0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.320
<v Speaker 1>I want to him out last year, he was a talent.

0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>He's very smart. We know he can run. Obviously, he

0:08:05.120 --> 0:08:07.240
<v Speaker 1>can throw in the pocket like people said he couldn't,

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.960
<v Speaker 1>but he can throw in the pocket and he can

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>do a lot of things, so he's dangerous. You know,

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be one of the ball games. Do you

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.560
<v Speaker 1>have any particular memories from attending that workout out there

0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:21.280
<v Speaker 1>in Oregon? I presume it was in Oregon for Maryland. Yeah. No,

0:08:21.400 --> 0:08:23.240
<v Speaker 1>he just made all the throws. You know, he's very

0:08:23.320 --> 0:08:26.520
<v Speaker 1>bright and very nimble with his feet, had good foot work.

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>He was the first round quarterback all the way
