Speaker 1: All right, joining us now the head coach Doug Peterson.
Speaker 1: And I know you don't pay attention to to Vegas
Speaker 1: and what the odds are on games, but you were
Speaker 1: thirteen point underdogs, largest super Bowl underdog the next year
Speaker 1: in twenty three years, and you came here and you
Speaker 1: really shocked the world. A lot of people didn't give
Speaker 1: you a chance. This team believed. How did you get
Speaker 1: them to believe with all the injuries. I just think
Speaker 1: it's a credit to that locker room. You know, each
Speaker 1: guy really took it upon himself this week. It starts
Speaker 1: in practice. I talk about practice a lot, but it
Speaker 1: really does. And we we win in games like this
Speaker 1: on how we prepare and and I give a lot
Speaker 1: of credit to the players and the coaches really form
Speaker 1: really having our guys well prepared. And uh, I can,
Speaker 1: I can. I can think back when I was into
Speaker 1: Super Bowl yess, Denver Broncos where we were, we were,
Speaker 1: We were the heavy uh favorite, and got beat by
Speaker 1: the Broncos in the Super Bowl. So you know, I've
Speaker 1: been there, and these guys just they don't listen to that,
Speaker 1: you know. And um, I don't know if you could
Speaker 1: probably ask anyone of those guys, they probably wouldn't even
Speaker 1: know the spread quite frankly, and and they just played together,
Speaker 1: played with a lot of passion to night, and it
Speaker 1: was good to see. Doug. Was it anything that you
Speaker 1: saw about the build up this week that would lead
Speaker 1: you to believe that they were going to come out
Speaker 1: and play the way they did against the Rams? You know,
Speaker 1: I just think it's again the way the way they
Speaker 1: attack each day in practice. Um, you know, I know
Speaker 1: we had some adversity with the quarterback and making the
Speaker 1: change and and and you know, a different guy in
Speaker 1: the huddle, but this guy started our season two, you know,
Speaker 1: for the first two weeks, So guys were comfortable with
Speaker 1: with Nick in there, and and the defense. I mean
Speaker 1: they they practiced all week against a high octane, high powered,
Speaker 1: very fast Temple offense, and they really handled a lot
Speaker 1: of the movement parts extremely well. And it's just a
Speaker 1: credit on how they prepared it. You had great balance
Speaker 1: with the running game, stuck with it, and you won
Speaker 1: the time of possession, so you keep their offense off
Speaker 1: the field. How do you think it got? Of course
Speaker 1: the offensive line comfortable with the running game, but also
Speaker 1: Nick getting him settled in and then it opens up
Speaker 1: some other things downfield. Well, I think that's just something
Speaker 1: I as a play caller, I have to I have
Speaker 1: to trust the run game. I gotta trust the offensive line.
Speaker 1: And I felt like for the most part, you know,
Speaker 1: I was able to do that. But but then the
Speaker 1: guys really took it upon themselves to execute and Um,
Speaker 1: you know, it did a great job and that just
Speaker 1: kind of settled your quarterback and then you know, a
Speaker 1: lot of the RPO, a lot of the play action
Speaker 1: game can come off that, and um had some opportunity
Speaker 1: down the field. Alshan had a tremendous game, you know,
Speaker 1: catching the ball down the field, and just you know,
Speaker 1: I think you just saw just a team effort and
Speaker 1: guys just just playing together and then having a lot
Speaker 1: of fun out there. Speaking to the team, ever, talk
Speaker 1: about the compliment. You got some turnovers, you got a
Speaker 1: good special team play, good defensive play. Talk about how
Speaker 1: the each phase complimented the other phase of the team.
Speaker 1: You know, it's it's what we've talked about all season long.
Speaker 1: When when you can generate turnovers, your offense can capitalize
Speaker 1: and they can score and score points. And we did
Speaker 1: that tonight. You know, we had a Bante. Mattis had
Speaker 1: a huge bay. Of course, we had the biggest turnover
Speaker 1: all at the end of the game. But and then
Speaker 1: we had you know, we had the other interception, so
Speaker 1: the ball was kind of bouncing around and our defense
Speaker 1: got that ball too. So I mean, that's that's what
Speaker 1: happens when when when you can create those turnovers. And
Speaker 1: I thought our defensive line just got after the rams
Speaker 1: and and and listen, that's that's a good that's a
Speaker 1: good team. And give them a lot of credit. They're
Speaker 1: gonna go a long way. And um, again, just a
Speaker 1: great team effort. A lot of people in the off
Speaker 1: season said, hey, maybe trade Nick Foles for something. This
Speaker 1: is exactly why you kept him here and wanted him here, right,
Speaker 1: It's exactly right. You know, you get to moments like
Speaker 1: this and you have a veteran, veteran back up and
Speaker 1: and really, uh, you know, you can you can just
Speaker 1: just kind of kind of put last year but you
Speaker 1: know behind us and just focus on this this year
Speaker 1: and having a veteran player who can come in and
Speaker 1: under under adverse situation that he did, and um just
Speaker 1: lead this football team. And it's a credit to him obviously,
Speaker 1: and and I think really too u for the for
Speaker 1: the rest of the team to really around, rally around
Speaker 1: him and support him as well. Go and enjoy this win,
Speaker 1: which we will ask you one question though, Yeah, who's
Speaker 1: your starting quarterback next week? I'll let you know later
Speaker 1: in the week. Perfect, stretch it all the way all Saturday, right,
Speaker 1: exactly right. Thanks,
