0:00:10.520 --> 0:00:12.399
<v Speaker 1>All right, so let me just update you real quick

0:00:12.480 --> 0:00:17.640
<v Speaker 1>on injuries coming out of this football game. UM. Brian

<v Speaker 1>Brayman suffered at left left shoulder AC sprain and UM

0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.520
<v Speaker 1>as of right now, he's just gonna miss Wednesday's practice,

0:00:25.600 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>but UH I expect him for the game. Uh. Leodis

0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:32.199
<v Speaker 1>McKelvin same thing. That hamstring, UH got a little tight

0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>on him and sore on him. So he'll he'll he'll

0:00:34.080 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>keep him out of Wednesday's practice UH and rest and

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>then uh he'll be available for the game as well.

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>The other ones that got injured that are that are okay.

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.680
<v Speaker 1>Fletcher Cox had the left ankle, Uh, he's fine. Uh,

0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>Dorio Green Beckham left knee. Pateeller he had just some

0:00:50.360 --> 0:00:53.640
<v Speaker 1>tennanitis there in the game late in the game. Actually

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:57.800
<v Speaker 1>he'll be fine. Uh. Lane Johnson right elbow hyper extension

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of that of this group. And then Ben Logan left

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>calf spasm. He'll be fine. The one he had from

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:08.160
<v Speaker 1>practice the other day. Lanes is probably the more significant,

0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.520
<v Speaker 1>but he'll be fine. He'll he'll be a little bit

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.319
<v Speaker 1>limited Wednesday, but but it'll be good too, good for

0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>the game. And then Ertz, Margos, Matthews and Isaac, are

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:23.760
<v Speaker 1>all are all fine? It, Doug so sounded like you

0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:26.200
<v Speaker 1>said for the interception, Wentz at the end that it

0:01:26.240 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>was his third progression, but he indicated that it was

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>an alert that he saw coming out of the huddle.

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:31.679
<v Speaker 1>So I was wondering if you could just kind of

0:01:31.680 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>walk us through that. And what's what? Yeah, I mean,

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a it's a shallow basic post combination and

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.759
<v Speaker 1>it's it's really uh, it's an alerted post. Um. Really

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.080
<v Speaker 1>the primary is the shallow to the basic on the

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>play to the back, I mean, and again that's that's

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>kind of the design of the play. Um. They ran

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a thief coverage, which means they they they robbed the

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:57.480
<v Speaker 1>free safety played cover one and um, um he ended

0:01:57.560 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>up having to he moved a bit in the pocket.

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:04.240
<v Speaker 1>I saw the guy cut, um, and it really took

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>Urt's away. And at that point, um, when he by

0:02:08.160 --> 0:02:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the time he hitched back up into the pocket, his

0:02:10.880 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>eyes went to Nelson on the post and uh decided

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to throw it at that time, when in fact, uh,

0:02:19.720 --> 0:02:22.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, Jordan on the shallow could have been the

0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.320
<v Speaker 1>throw at that time, but uh, you know, hey, give

0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.239
<v Speaker 1>give our guys an opportunity to make plays down the

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>field and and and hope for either catch or an

0:02:30.880 --> 0:02:37.800
<v Speaker 1>intercept PI of a wide receiver in that situation. Well, there,

0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>there's really there's multiple things. One um, you know, from

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.160
<v Speaker 1>a quarterbacks pant standpoint late down the middle obviously is

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>is not a not a good thing. Um. That goes

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.119
<v Speaker 1>all the way back to my days in Green Bay

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.160
<v Speaker 1>with Brett Farve, I mean talking about that kind of stuff,

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and those are things you learn. The second thing is

0:02:54.560 --> 0:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>when the ball goes up, it's it's our ball or

0:02:56.639 --> 0:02:59.200
<v Speaker 1>nobody's ball. I mean, that's the mentality, that's the mindset,

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 1>that's what we code, that's what we teach um. And

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.120
<v Speaker 1>then being just being able to track the football and uh, um,

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:08.480
<v Speaker 1>you know Nelson had an opportunity to make a make

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 1>a play there from where the ball you know, was

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>thrown slightly outside. I mean, you know it is a

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.959
<v Speaker 1>deep throw, um, but typically it's either our ball or

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>nobody's ball on that play. Also was to that kind

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:26.160
<v Speaker 1>of remind you, like it seemed like Carson was doing

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.360
<v Speaker 1>that quite a bit, like doing the OTAs and maybe

0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>early in training camp where you know, just kind of

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball deep and stuff like that. Was that

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>something you noticed too? Well? Um, I think early in

0:03:38.520 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>OTA's just getting an idea of the offense. Sometimes you

0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>can you can make those those types of throws early

0:03:47.040 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>trying to understand the complexity of the offense. Um. But

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.720
<v Speaker 1>he you know, listen, it's a teachable moment for him. Um,

0:03:57.120 --> 0:04:00.720
<v Speaker 1>next time in that situation, he'll definitely uh understand what's

0:04:00.720 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 1>going on. I think, and and uh and and not

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>make those not make those uh those decisions. He's the

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>one thing about Carson is is he it's a it's

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>a short term mentality. It happens. Once he forgets that,

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>he moves on and and uh that's what we got

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>to do in this situation. Um and and and get

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.680
<v Speaker 1>ready for this week. He loves you have gone to

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:25.240
<v Speaker 1>Matthews for me if it's the next time, the next

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:28.880
<v Speaker 1>time or had he had he uh uh seen the

0:04:29.000 --> 0:04:32.520
<v Speaker 1>rotation of the safeties and whatnot? Yeah, I would, I

0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:36.440
<v Speaker 1>would suggest that he teach off the film and find Jordan.

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:39.440
<v Speaker 1>He's where he's he's maybe a little too aggressive. Is

0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:40.960
<v Speaker 1>that you have to kind of rain him in? Not

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:47.240
<v Speaker 1>at all, not at all, um, you know, uh no, no,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>And I won't I won't rain him in that situation.

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Were you only need to feel well Kayleb being a dome,

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean he was kicking well. Uh, I mean do

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 1>you do you need to before he goes out for

0:04:58.760 --> 0:05:01.640
<v Speaker 1>the series kind of go over the situational awareness of

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>and we did. We listen, I was down there calling

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:06.640
<v Speaker 1>timehouse when the defense was on the ball, and I

0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:08.479
<v Speaker 1>was on the radio with Frank. We're getting ready for

0:05:08.480 --> 0:05:11.360
<v Speaker 1>our two minute drive, and we knew that we were

0:05:11.400 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 1>going to have time. Chances are we were going to

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>be out of timeouts obviously, and so we were covering

0:05:15.920 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>all the situations and and again they listen, this is

0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>his fourth start where we're beating him up over his

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>fourth NFL start, and and uh, he did some great things.

0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>Now in this football game, not one play is gonna

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:31.200
<v Speaker 1>magnify him or or our performance in this football game.

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:37.400
<v Speaker 1>Stumbled should even get pulling the ball on the outside um,

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh again it goes back to that you know,

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>throwing it laid down the middle of the field rule

0:05:42.400 --> 0:05:44.479
<v Speaker 1>for the quarterback. You'd usually like to carry it on

0:05:44.520 --> 0:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>your outside arm. Um. There was a you know, Jordan

0:05:50.720 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Matthews had a block kind of got blown up there,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>lane was pulling around the edge and it just uh, Detroit,

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:00.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean they made they made a tremendous play, UM,

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and just kind of caught us kind of bang bang

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:08.320
<v Speaker 1>in that situation. UM. But ideally, I think as a runner, yeah,

0:06:08.360 --> 0:06:09.640
<v Speaker 1>you would, you would want to carry it in your house.

0:06:09.640 --> 0:06:12.920
<v Speaker 1>Side are a lot of people have asked me on

0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:17.520
<v Speaker 1>Twitter and in emails, what's the rule when the ball?

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, we all saw how the ball was recovered.

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>The guy snapped it back between his legs to to

0:06:22.120 --> 0:06:25.520
<v Speaker 1>a guy in bounds, but it was touching Jason Kelsey

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>who was lying partly out of bounds. First, is it

0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:34.880
<v Speaker 1>not dead? Then it is dead ball out of bounds.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>That's the rule. And I that was one of the

0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:42.240
<v Speaker 1>things I wanted to make sure this morning, UM that

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>I was correct and accurate in that in that ruling. UM.

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:51.119
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, it's just one of those things.

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.039
<v Speaker 1>But we can't we can't cost the ball up. Did

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:59.080
<v Speaker 1>you check that with the league? Then John Ferrari, who

0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:02.360
<v Speaker 1>is a very versed on on the rules, and and

0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>he and I, he and I talked about it. We

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:08.680
<v Speaker 1>actually discussed it during the game because these situations come

0:07:08.760 --> 0:07:10.800
<v Speaker 1>up throughout the league, and we see video of this

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff all the time, and and uh, you

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:16.960
<v Speaker 1>know it's something that it's obviously it's it's a turnover,

0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:19.640
<v Speaker 1>so it's a it's a booth booth situation, booth review.

0:07:19.680 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>And um, it's out of our hands that you got

0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.440
<v Speaker 1>after the booth reveal play. He didn't touch it. It

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.640
<v Speaker 1>wasn't not touch but it wasn't touched by usage. That well,

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:34.080
<v Speaker 1>well we'll send we'll send you know, a few clips

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>in you know, out of this game. But again that

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that's not the that's not why we lost this football game.

0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Kind of least fourteen to two. We almost overcame it

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.720
<v Speaker 1>and won it. And and that's a tribute to the

0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:49.120
<v Speaker 1>football team. And um, the way the guy's battled, you know,

0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.160
<v Speaker 1>to have as many plays on defense to start this

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>game three you know, three drives, it was like thirty

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>two plays and if you count penalties and everything, I mean,

0:07:58.080 --> 0:08:01.440
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's a bunch of football. And uh, you

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>know that was there. That was their game. Our game

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.880
<v Speaker 1>was we we battled, We hung in there, and uh,

0:08:08.040 --> 0:08:10.640
<v Speaker 1>defense played outstanding in the second half. We made plays

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>on offense and um had a chance to win, you

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>know with two minutes ago in a game, was that

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>did the play get in a little late? And either

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:24.640
<v Speaker 1>of those we want delay a game correct? Did the

0:08:24.680 --> 0:08:27.280
<v Speaker 1>play get in later? Or was Carson maybe I don't

0:08:27.280 --> 0:08:30.040
<v Speaker 1>want to say overadjusting, what was the overadjusting? And team

0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:31.760
<v Speaker 1>well the one in the red zone. Yeah, the one

0:08:31.800 --> 0:08:34.840
<v Speaker 1>down in the red zone. Um, you know, all week long,

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:36.840
<v Speaker 1>this is this is a team. They liked the zero

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.520
<v Speaker 1>blitz you down there, and so we had some kills

0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and some audibles this week that we wanted to put

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:44.679
<v Speaker 1>in to maximize the blitz and protect the throw or

0:08:44.720 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>protect the run. And uh, and he was trying to

0:08:48.040 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>get us into that protection and get guys, get guys

0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:55.560
<v Speaker 1>lined up that we had practiced. It was just you know, time, noise,

0:08:55.960 --> 0:09:00.079
<v Speaker 1>all of that factored into those those delay games and

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:09.679
<v Speaker 1>number of representative officiating. I'm not going to get into officiating. Um,

0:09:09.720 --> 0:09:11.440
<v Speaker 1>we have to we have to correct them. We have

0:09:11.480 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>to play smarter obviously. Um, you know, the face mask

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:17.400
<v Speaker 1>on Fletcher is is always going to be an unsportsmanlike

0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.720
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna be a personal foul, you know, those types

0:09:19.760 --> 0:09:22.640
<v Speaker 1>of things, and and um, you know we just uh

0:09:22.679 --> 0:09:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we gotta we gotta play smart, you know, and and

0:09:25.440 --> 0:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>um you knows. As I mentioned, I think that how

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>we came back in this game, you know, I think

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it just shows the character of this football team and

0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.040
<v Speaker 1>where we are from from even a year ago. You know,

0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.520
<v Speaker 1>I think this game a year ago got out of

0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>hand and it got shut down and it got blown out.

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 1>This group didn't do that yesterday. This group was resilient.

0:09:49.160 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>This group battled sideline, was calm, they were you know,

0:09:54.480 --> 0:09:57.600
<v Speaker 1>whatever adversity came our way, we were able to overcome it.

0:09:57.679 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's like that two minute drive before

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>they end of the half. I mean we were in

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:05.040
<v Speaker 1>first and twenty five, second, twenty third and we were

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, overcame that and got the three. So um,

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a sign of a sign of a good

0:10:10.520 --> 0:10:17.760
<v Speaker 1>football team. Well, um, I think it comes from the coaches.

0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>Number one. There's no panic on the sideline there. I mean,

0:10:21.040 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, the communication the thing is with the better

0:10:26.160 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>the better communication you have um with your players on

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>the sideline, it just kind of just eases. If we're

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.040
<v Speaker 1>not prepared as a staff, players are gonna know it,

0:10:37.080 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 1>players are gonna see it. And then there's chaos and

0:10:40.480 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>our staff and my staff is prepared on game day

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:46.080
<v Speaker 1>and and we're able to make make the necessary adjustments

0:10:46.120 --> 0:10:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, I think it starts with the staff

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>and then it works itself down to the players. What

0:10:51.400 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>do you want from Nelson at this point? Yeah, you know,

0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 1>he again he made uh gosh, he made a nice

0:10:58.040 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>nice couple couple of contested catches. He's he's putting himself

0:11:01.640 --> 0:11:07.640
<v Speaker 1>in a position, um to make plays. You know, uh

0:11:07.679 --> 0:11:14.600
<v Speaker 1>it you know, with with with play calling and and

0:11:15.040 --> 0:11:19.520
<v Speaker 1>different as the game kind of unfolds. Um, you know,

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't I don't necessarily feature one guy over another.

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I just I just think you just play that you

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.040
<v Speaker 1>play the game as it is, and you you ask

0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:32.400
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback to progression read and all that. But you know, Nelson,

0:11:32.640 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Nelson has has put himself in a position to help us.

0:11:35.760 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>And again yesterday he had he had a couple of

0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 1>nice catches. DGB stood up, you know, uh stood out yesterday,

0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a couple of nice quick throws and runs. And you

0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:48.000
<v Speaker 1>can see the strength that he has. So as a group, yeah,

0:11:48.040 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>as a group, it was, um, it was a good

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:55.800
<v Speaker 1>performance by them. Sixteen to thirty sixty one. Nass while

0:11:55.800 --> 0:12:02.600
<v Speaker 1>farming and GRAHAMI fifty three fifty two. What's going on there? Well,

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:07.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, it it comes down to um, the

0:12:07.559 --> 0:12:10.959
<v Speaker 1>way we rotate, and and sometimes it's personnel on offense

0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and and uh you know whether a team is going

0:12:14.120 --> 0:12:16.000
<v Speaker 1>to hurry up or not or huddling quite a bit,

0:12:16.040 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>and and and uh, you know, Vinnie's a big Vinnie's

0:12:18.880 --> 0:12:21.120
<v Speaker 1>a big part of that that that group and and um,

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:26.120
<v Speaker 1>um it's just a matter of the rotating basis and

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:29.960
<v Speaker 1>keeping keeping guys as fresh as we can uh throughout

0:12:29.960 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>the game. But there's nothing nothing other than that to

0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:37.480
<v Speaker 1>read into year or forty seven the continent in the

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:46.800
<v Speaker 1>off season to play well. I mean you're you're asking

0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:52.240
<v Speaker 1>a question that we rotate so much at the defensive

0:12:52.280 --> 0:12:56.240
<v Speaker 1>line position that that you know, h Fletcher obviously gets

0:12:56.280 --> 0:12:59.280
<v Speaker 1>his gets his uh gets his snaps. I mean, Brandon

0:12:59.320 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Graham gets his snaps. Connor, you know, these guys are

0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:07.320
<v Speaker 1>getting their reps and and um. When you're in there,

0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you're called upon to make plays and and you have

0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:13.600
<v Speaker 1>to make the most of those opportunities. Rotation. Do you

0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.199
<v Speaker 1>anticipate it'll be Ryan and Darren moving forward? I mean

0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Is there going to be a role for Wendell, Wendell

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.839
<v Speaker 1>and uh and Kenyon moving forward or is it? Are

0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.320
<v Speaker 1>you just gonna stick with those two guys as long

0:13:24.360 --> 0:13:26.800
<v Speaker 1>as there help. Yeah, you know, Ryan, Ryan and Darren

0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 1>are the you know, as I've said before, the two

0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.040
<v Speaker 1>primary guys. You know, Wendelle had a role against the

0:13:32.080 --> 0:13:34.760
<v Speaker 1>Steelers obviously when Ryan was out, and and Uh we're

0:13:34.800 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>able to h pick up sort of the slack there.

0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:41.160
<v Speaker 1>And and Kenyon's the same way. Um, you know, we

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>get opportunities to put him in a game, we will.

0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.120
<v Speaker 1>But as as going forward, it's it's Ryan and Darren

0:13:46.160 --> 0:13:49.240
<v Speaker 1>and uh uh you know, we'll spell those other two

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:55.360
<v Speaker 1>guys when when we need to. What made this to

0:13:55.480 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>be exactly do that? Well, if you saw the third

0:14:01.679 --> 0:14:04.439
<v Speaker 1>series of the game, it was a fourteen play drive,

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>twelve total plays. There were three third downs. Ones was

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:10.079
<v Speaker 1>a false start and the other two were dime personnel

0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:13.080
<v Speaker 1>or one was nickel, one was dime. We had an

0:14:13.120 --> 0:14:16.160
<v Speaker 1>opportunity on third and eleven to make the play. Michael

0:14:16.200 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 1>was in position, just just didn't make just didn't make

0:14:18.240 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>the play. I mean, you know, Riddick's a great back

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 1>and he made a miss. The other one was in

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the red zone and it was Dimond and Tullok was

0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:28.640
<v Speaker 1>on the field. The defense had previously been on the

0:14:28.640 --> 0:14:32.400
<v Speaker 1>field twenty two plays, you know, basically offense kind of

0:14:32.720 --> 0:14:34.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we were we were a thing eight plays

0:14:34.480 --> 0:14:37.600
<v Speaker 1>and out that that first drive, and UM just needs

0:14:37.640 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>to give guys a break and just give him a blow,

0:14:39.560 --> 0:14:41.040
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? It was. It was a long,

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 1>long first half of our defense staying on the field.

0:14:45.480 --> 0:14:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Laid Johnson seems to think he'll hear something Wednesday or

0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Thursday on a suspension. Will you go ahead and give

0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.520
<v Speaker 1>someone else alent? Or how a body rapport that right

0:14:56.520 --> 0:14:59.440
<v Speaker 1>tackle or how's that going to work again? You know,

0:14:59.600 --> 0:15:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and until until we get the final word. Lane Lanes

0:15:03.360 --> 0:15:05.480
<v Speaker 1>my right tackle, and I'm just gonna keep I'm gonna

0:15:05.560 --> 0:15:09.520
<v Speaker 1>keep going that route. Um. If Lane is limited due

0:15:09.560 --> 0:15:13.560
<v Speaker 1>to his injury on Wednesday, then then as I mentioned before,

0:15:14.240 --> 0:15:16.920
<v Speaker 1>we'll probably probably have Big V you know, step up

0:15:16.920 --> 0:15:22.680
<v Speaker 1>and get some reps this week, particularly maybe on Wednesday.

0:15:24.000 --> 0:15:31.600
<v Speaker 1>There's not much more, you know what this is. And

0:15:31.640 --> 0:15:35.360
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question because I saw how ticked off

0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:37.040
<v Speaker 1>this team was at the end of this football game,

0:15:37.400 --> 0:15:41.360
<v Speaker 1>despite everything that went on in in this game, negative, positive,

0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:44.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing. This This is a this is a

0:15:44.480 --> 0:15:46.520
<v Speaker 1>different football team than a year ago. This is a

0:15:46.560 --> 0:15:49.120
<v Speaker 1>resilient football team. This is a team that when I

0:15:49.160 --> 0:15:51.760
<v Speaker 1>walked on the plane last night when we were halfway home,

0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and everybody's on their iPads watching the game, they're watching,

0:15:55.440 --> 0:15:58.760
<v Speaker 1>they're they're watching, they're correcting the mistakes, they're they're they're

0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:01.280
<v Speaker 1>wanting to get back out on the football field, and

0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:04.480
<v Speaker 1>and uh that that's great from a coach's perspective, that's

0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that's great to see. It's great to see your players

0:16:06.680 --> 0:16:11.320
<v Speaker 1>take ownership that way. Um, the leaders of your team really,

0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, really step up and and and I mean, yeah,

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:17.720
<v Speaker 1>as bad as it hurts, at the same time, they

0:16:18.040 --> 0:16:21.440
<v Speaker 1>understand that, hey we let one slide. And uh, you know,

0:16:21.920 --> 0:16:24.040
<v Speaker 1>my message to them was that that every week is

0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:26.600
<v Speaker 1>going to be a challenge and and you know, every

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.520
<v Speaker 1>week has its own circumstances and and uh, but it

0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:32.200
<v Speaker 1>was great to see the veteran, veteran guys and really

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:35.760
<v Speaker 1>all the guys back there, from from Carson to Malcolm

0:16:35.800 --> 0:16:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to Fletcher to you know, um Connor, Brent Sellig and

0:16:41.280 --> 0:16:44.040
<v Speaker 1>everybody's back there making let me looking at the game

0:16:44.160 --> 0:16:49.480
<v Speaker 1>and um, so this this thing, it won't spiral, It

0:16:49.520 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>won't spiral. They're they're they're taking ownership of it. This

0:16:53.480 --> 0:16:55.360
<v Speaker 1>is your first laws with when you look back at

0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>how things on bolded, is there anything you'd have done differently,

0:16:58.800 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 1>mistakes that you or your staff maybe you know, we

0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:06.159
<v Speaker 1>just like players and maybe more so we look at it.

0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>We look at it from that perspective. And I got

0:17:08.359 --> 0:17:10.040
<v Speaker 1>to look at it as a play caller and did

0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I put our guys in a in a proper spot?

0:17:12.080 --> 0:17:16.440
<v Speaker 1>You know? And um, you know, obviously hindsight's twenty twenty

0:17:16.480 --> 0:17:18.080
<v Speaker 1>and you can sit now with the fresh set of

0:17:18.080 --> 0:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>eyes and go maybe maybe that call there or this

0:17:21.000 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>call there. But coming away, you know, coming away from

0:17:25.000 --> 0:17:31.080
<v Speaker 1>this game, even even under the um all the all

0:17:31.119 --> 0:17:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the circumstances surrounding this football game, I felt like, uh

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>and we felt as a staff this morning that that uh,

0:17:38.720 --> 0:17:42.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, we gave ourselves an opportunity and we

0:17:42.119 --> 0:17:46.159
<v Speaker 1>gave ourselves a chance. Um. You know, I felt like

0:17:46.200 --> 0:17:49.560
<v Speaker 1>going into this game that that uh, you know, our

0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.119
<v Speaker 1>tight ends against their linebackers for instance, was it was

0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:56.800
<v Speaker 1>was a matchup in our favor. Could I have called more,

0:17:56.960 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, middle of the field with our tight it ends. Yeah,

0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:02.760
<v Speaker 1>but we were getting a couple of calls against us

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:05.680
<v Speaker 1>at that time too, So you know, you always look

0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:08.800
<v Speaker 1>at that kind of stuff and come away thinking maybe this,

0:18:08.960 --> 0:18:11.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe that. But at the end of the day, I

0:18:11.320 --> 0:18:15.480
<v Speaker 1>feel comfortable, um about how I called the game and

0:18:15.840 --> 0:18:18.240
<v Speaker 1>how our staff handled, you know, some of the adversity

0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:28.119
<v Speaker 1>and and what we overcame. There were two, um, and

0:18:28.160 --> 0:18:29.480
<v Speaker 1>they were towards the end of the game when he

0:18:29.520 --> 0:18:31.760
<v Speaker 1>hit Jordan Matthews on a dagger route. It was a big,

0:18:31.800 --> 0:18:34.080
<v Speaker 1>big play for us. And then he had Jordan again

0:18:34.680 --> 0:18:37.879
<v Speaker 1>on a third and six right before the end of

0:18:37.880 --> 0:18:39.800
<v Speaker 1>the game. That were two big third down throws that

0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.399
<v Speaker 1>not many, you know, not many rookie quarterbacks are going

0:18:44.440 --> 0:18:48.160
<v Speaker 1>to make right now, and he's been able to make those. Okay,

0:18:48.160 --> 0:18:48.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you guys,
