WEBVTT - Press Conference: Doug Pederson November 11

0:00:01.000 --> 0:00:05.680
<v Speaker 1>You guys five round. What do you think he's the

0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:09.360
<v Speaker 1>running land you get started on this first drive. Yeah,

0:00:09.480 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>something that we talked about each week, trying to start fast,

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.880
<v Speaker 1>and obviously it's not getting done. Um, yeah, we just

0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:17.959
<v Speaker 1>got to continue to evaluate it, you know, and and

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>uh and see see why you know we're we're coming

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.040
<v Speaker 1>up a little bit short. Whether it's the yard or two. Um,

0:00:25.040 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>it's something that uh, you know, we we've got to

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we continue to address it and you got to make

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>sure we fix it. Two the fourth quarter, it was

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>a five yard lass. What happened on that play there, Well,

0:00:35.280 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>we anticipated pressure and we got it and and the

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:42.839
<v Speaker 1>throw right there was you know to Corey and and uh,

0:00:42.880 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, without watching the tape because we was on

0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:48.680
<v Speaker 1>the far sideline, can't really tell you exactly you know

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:54.040
<v Speaker 1>what happened, but um, you know, anticipated the pressure, we

0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:56.080
<v Speaker 1>got it, trying to get the ball out quick and

0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and uh try to execute the play and we just

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>failed to do that. In the locker room after the game,

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:08.000
<v Speaker 1>messages basically is pretty simple. Um, starting with myself, all

0:01:08.040 --> 0:01:10.119
<v Speaker 1>of us, Uh, you know, we just look at ourselves

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:13.200
<v Speaker 1>in the mirror and um, are we are we doing enough?

0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Are we giving enough um each week? It's a strain.

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.119
<v Speaker 1>I mean you have to you have to strain yourself

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.800
<v Speaker 1>to make plays. I mean, that's just the way this

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:24.039
<v Speaker 1>game is. And uh, we didn't do enough of that today.

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>And that's that's the disappointing thing. Um, you know, and

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and just just gave up too many, too many plays

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:34.479
<v Speaker 1>defensively and then an offense didn't execute, uh you know enough. Uh,

0:01:35.600 --> 0:01:38.120
<v Speaker 1>And so that's the that's the disappointing, disappointing thing. But

0:01:38.800 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>each person, each coach, um, each player in that locker room,

0:01:42.959 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>we have to we have to really look at it,

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>at yourself and and and decide every day you come

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.720
<v Speaker 1>to work that that you're going to give your best

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.560
<v Speaker 1>and you're gonna do everything you can to get better

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>and help this team win. You came out of a

0:01:58.560 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>halftime locker room and we fired on the whole team. Dude, right,

0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>it all fisled out what happened. Guys were excited. I mean,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>we had three and out on defense, exactly what we

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:11.480
<v Speaker 1>talked about at halftime. Offense was able to go down

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:13.480
<v Speaker 1>and and I believe you get points on that next

0:02:13.520 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>drive and and and it just felt like, you know,

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 1>things were beginning to turn for us. UM, and I

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>don't know that's the that's the you know, the disheartening

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 1>thing is is something we got to look at and

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>I've got to look at, you know, and and make

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 1>sure that um, whether the guys are fresh going into games, um,

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:39.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, if uh, you know how we practice it

0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>just a lot of a lot of things can factor

0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>into some of that stuff, you know. And and then

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>and then just just keep talking and keep reiterating the

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 1>point to the guys that that we have to continue

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>to finish. We got to finish in practice. Uh. It

0:02:51.960 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>just can't you know, show up in a game and

0:02:54.120 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 1>expect to finish a drive or finish a game. You know.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>We got to do those things during the week. Have

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>the handle before the offense, Um he had he had

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I guess the short answer would be, yeah, Um,

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:11.880
<v Speaker 1>we had a certain number of plays for him and

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>wanted to get him, get him into the game and

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 1>just get him, uh some some touches. And and I

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.160
<v Speaker 1>thought one thing we did do was you know, uh,

0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:24.160
<v Speaker 1>we we did spread the ball around, um, whether it

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:27.480
<v Speaker 1>was through RPOs or play action or even just straight dropback.

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.480
<v Speaker 1>And O Zach had you know, I don't know fourteen

0:03:30.600 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 1>or sixteen targets or something like that. But but he's

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>the type of player that can handle that, you know,

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and and al Sean as well. So um, as we go,

0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.240
<v Speaker 1>we'll continue to to increase the things that we do

0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>with him. What into the play call one that josh

0:03:45.040 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Adam was up, Yeah again offense. Uh you know, it

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:54.320
<v Speaker 1>was just a designed to uh um uh you know,

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>basically circle the defense and and pen the only thing

0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>that that kills the players penetration, And we allowed the

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>penetration to happen and and stopped stop the run. Bourt

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>it down to Zach just what you see on that

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 1>play where how much death is he supposed to get

0:04:10.280 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>on that? Uh? In regards to the point, Yeah, it's

0:04:12.360 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>a it's a route that that's uh, it's gonna you know,

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>uh again, it's gonna get you the you know, get

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.839
<v Speaker 1>you the fourth down or get you any down really

0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>uh and uh, I give credit to you know, to Dallas,

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to Heath. I mean he came up and it was

0:04:26.120 --> 0:04:28.520
<v Speaker 1>a contested catch, you know, zactly a great ball was

0:04:28.520 --> 0:04:31.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit high, but um, you know, he came

0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>down with the ball and we were just uh, you know,

0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>about a half a yur short. So just a great

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.240
<v Speaker 1>play by them, and and and it was a play

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:42.480
<v Speaker 1>that uh you know I would call again. Um, just

0:04:42.600 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you're putting it in Carson's hands, You're putting it in

0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.560
<v Speaker 1>Zack's hands. And and that's that's what you want. Message

0:04:47.560 --> 0:04:50.280
<v Speaker 1>you had after the game. It's been said before this year,

0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:52.839
<v Speaker 1>at what point are you concerned that this is who

0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:58.320
<v Speaker 1>you are not games into the season. Well, I mean

0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:02.920
<v Speaker 1>if we got to change who we are, then UM

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 1>doesn't mean that uh. Um you know we have to

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.280
<v Speaker 1>go out and grab a whole bunch of new players

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>or anything like that. I mean, you know, um, we

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>just got to continue to work and continue to coach

0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and and teach and and and get better. And um,

0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:22.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we just got to do. We just

0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:23.880
<v Speaker 1>gotta do a little bit more each week. It's not

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 1>a it's not not a bunch of big changes, you know, Um,

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>more close in a lot of areas. Um. But uh,

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:35.520
<v Speaker 1>but you know, to each man, uh, coaches and players,

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>we have to you know, decide when we come to

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.680
<v Speaker 1>work that we're gonna we're gonna give our best today

0:05:40.680 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna get ready for for another another you know,

0:05:43.160 --> 0:05:46.560
<v Speaker 1>good team, we went different team wins the night and

0:05:46.560 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter twenty one against Carolina. Are they wearing down? Well?

0:05:52.000 --> 0:05:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I think one of the things that that

0:05:53.480 --> 0:05:55.159
<v Speaker 1>we knew coming into this game was that we were

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:57.160
<v Speaker 1>gonna get a steady diet of the of the run game,

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.680
<v Speaker 1>you know. And and Zeke was he's a big back,

0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:03.680
<v Speaker 1>he's a powerful back, and um, you know, probably some

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of that a little bit, you know, but but uh,

0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:10.840
<v Speaker 1>you know we also uh um, I thought, you know, overall,

0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>we didn't we didn't tackle great. You know, that's one

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:15.279
<v Speaker 1>of the areas that that we got to get better

0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>at two is tackling, tackling in space, tackling um, you know,

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>in the box, and just making sure that um, you know,

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:24.560
<v Speaker 1>we get the guys on the ground and there's there

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>were too many yards after contact and and uh things

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>like that, and and with those are areas that we

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.599
<v Speaker 1>gotta we gotta concentrate on. You've got a lot of

0:06:31.800 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>injuries in the secondary, you had new line Johnson, You've

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.359
<v Speaker 1>had a bunch of injuries at the school positions. There

0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:39.240
<v Speaker 1>were the injuries starting to uh have an effect on

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the team next performance. Well, I think I think, uh um,

0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.600
<v Speaker 1>I think it can. But but uh you know, you

0:06:47.640 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>know you've been around us enough to know that that

0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.440
<v Speaker 1>we we we're not going to let that be an excuse.

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's the next band up mentality, and and

0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.520
<v Speaker 1>we just got to make sure that the next guy

0:06:56.640 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>is is ready to go and prepared. And um, you know,

0:07:00.720 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>in in in in Lane's case, I mean obviously big

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.159
<v Speaker 1>vib you know, steps in and does a great job.

0:07:05.200 --> 0:07:07.719
<v Speaker 1>He does the same thing for JP, and he plays

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>he plays well. So um, you know, we just gotta

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.360
<v Speaker 1>we just gotta keep keep fighting. I mean, one and

0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:16.200
<v Speaker 1>one in the division. There's a lot of division games

0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>ahead of us, and and uh some some good football

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:22.440
<v Speaker 1>left especially disappointed coming off with Bible. You gotta guess

0:07:22.440 --> 0:07:27.280
<v Speaker 1>you will hope pick the common jump. Yeah, I mean,

0:07:27.360 --> 0:07:29.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously you try to the month in November,

0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I think his his teams begin to um sort of

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.480
<v Speaker 1>separate themselves and and uh um, you know we did

0:07:36.560 --> 0:07:38.760
<v Speaker 1>take a probably you know, we did take a step

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:43.240
<v Speaker 1>back tonight, and that's the disappointing thing. And um, listen,

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.320
<v Speaker 1>we're just you know, we're not going to make excuses

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>for anything. Uh you know, we're gonna we're gonna gonna

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>come to work and and uh and get ready for

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:56.960
<v Speaker 1>New Orleans. Carson's playing to night. Um. I thought early,

0:07:57.280 --> 0:07:59.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, there were some things that uh, you know,

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:02.360
<v Speaker 1>he'd probably like to get back. I think the accuracy

0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>was off just a touch and and but but I

0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>think as he settled into the game, he did some

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:09.440
<v Speaker 1>really really nice things. Uh, made some really really good throws,

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:12.960
<v Speaker 1>tight contested throws. Um. I know he'd like to have

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>the touch to the throat Alshan back. I think that

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.440
<v Speaker 1>was a touchdown pass there. He'd liked to have that

0:08:17.480 --> 0:08:20.320
<v Speaker 1>one back. But I thought overall, he played, uh, he

0:08:20.360 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>played well. You know, he managed the offense and it

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:27.040
<v Speaker 1>did some really good things. On Urtz. Was there were

0:08:27.080 --> 0:08:29.720
<v Speaker 1>there other people he could have gone to? Some of

0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the players. Well, yeah, I mean, you know, until we

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>until I look at the tape and see, I mean,

0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you know that's uh Hurts is a pretty good receiver

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>and and he's a big part of the offense. But uh, um,

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I with until I look at the film

0:08:51.120 --> 0:08:55.040
<v Speaker 1>to really understand, you know, where the ball went. Um

0:08:55.040 --> 0:09:01.360
<v Speaker 1>and and and see it's hard to say mencerned about

0:09:01.360 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>this team, see well Obviously, you get a little concerned

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>after after a loss, um and you you know, you

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>scratch your head and you try to put your finger

0:09:14.240 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 1>on some things and and uh um. But at the

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:20.080
<v Speaker 1>same time I understand that you know, this is still

0:09:20.200 --> 0:09:23.319
<v Speaker 1>um our divisions right in front of us again. I mean,

0:09:23.520 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got seven games remaining, and and uh

0:09:27.720 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's it's a prideful group and that's

0:09:30.360 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 1>the thing that uh Um. You know, I trust those

0:09:35.800 --> 0:09:38.360
<v Speaker 1>players in there, and and they'll they'll get it figured out.

0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>And uh um, you know, it's just it just comes

0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.040
<v Speaker 1>down to you know, like I said earlier, I mean,

0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>just just each man and and uh um, you know,

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we can't worry about two, three, four games from now.

0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't worry about the postseason or any

0:09:56.000 --> 0:09:57.800
<v Speaker 1>of that. You got to worry about the next the

0:09:57.840 --> 0:10:00.400
<v Speaker 1>next game, and focus on the next game and and

0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.520
<v Speaker 1>do everything you can to try to win that game.

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Previously that you've said previously that one of your goals

0:10:06.600 --> 0:10:09.160
<v Speaker 1>every season is to win all your home games. Having

0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:12.560
<v Speaker 1>lost now three a Royle at home, to make it

0:10:12.720 --> 0:10:17.240
<v Speaker 1>sort of especially the goal, isn't it all right? So

0:10:17.400 --> 0:10:20.160
<v Speaker 1>we gotta we gotta just focus on the next game, right,

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:21.240
<v Speaker 1>all right,
