WEBVTT - Doug Pederson 1-on-1: December 17

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:03.480
<v Speaker 1>All right, joining us now the head coach Doug Peterson.

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>And I know you don't pay attention to to Vegas

0:00:05.519 --> 0:00:07.280
<v Speaker 1>and what the odds are on games, but you were

0:00:07.360 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>thirteen point underdogs, largest super Bowl underdog the next year

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:13.280
<v Speaker 1>in twenty three years, and you came here and you

0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.040
<v Speaker 1>really shocked the world. A lot of people didn't give

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.720
<v Speaker 1>you a chance. This team believed. How did you get

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>them to believe with all the injuries. I just think

0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>it's a credit to that locker room. You know, each

0:00:21.760 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>guy really took it upon himself this week. It starts

0:00:24.560 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>in practice. I talk about practice a lot, but it

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:29.159
<v Speaker 1>really does. And we we win in games like this

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.080
<v Speaker 1>on how we prepare and and I give a lot

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.920
<v Speaker 1>of credit to the players and the coaches really form

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.959
<v Speaker 1>really having our guys well prepared. And uh, I can,

0:00:38.040 --> 0:00:39.720
<v Speaker 1>I can. I can think back when I was into

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl yess, Denver Broncos where we were, we were,

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.960
<v Speaker 1>We were the heavy uh favorite, and got beat by

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.879
<v Speaker 1>the Broncos in the Super Bowl. So you know, I've

0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.239
<v Speaker 1>been there, and these guys just they don't listen to that,

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>you know. And um, I don't know if you could

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>probably ask anyone of those guys, they probably wouldn't even

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:58.040
<v Speaker 1>know the spread quite frankly, and and they just played together,

0:00:58.160 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>played with a lot of passion to night, and it

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:01.560
<v Speaker 1>was good to see. Doug. Was it anything that you

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>saw about the build up this week that would lead

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>you to believe that they were going to come out

0:01:05.840 --> 0:01:08.640
<v Speaker 1>and play the way they did against the Rams? You know,

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.839
<v Speaker 1>I just think it's again the way the way they

0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>attack each day in practice. Um, you know, I know

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>we had some adversity with the quarterback and making the

0:01:17.600 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>change and and and you know, a different guy in

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the huddle, but this guy started our season two, you know,

0:01:22.880 --> 0:01:25.480
<v Speaker 1>for the first two weeks, So guys were comfortable with

0:01:25.480 --> 0:01:27.800
<v Speaker 1>with Nick in there, and and the defense. I mean

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>they they practiced all week against a high octane, high powered,

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.600
<v Speaker 1>very fast Temple offense, and they really handled a lot

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>of the movement parts extremely well. And it's just a

0:01:37.880 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>credit on how they prepared it. You had great balance

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:42.400
<v Speaker 1>with the running game, stuck with it, and you won

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the time of possession, so you keep their offense off

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.240
<v Speaker 1>the field. How do you think it got? Of course

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:48.559
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line comfortable with the running game, but also

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>Nick getting him settled in and then it opens up

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.080
<v Speaker 1>some other things downfield. Well, I think that's just something

0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>I as a play caller, I have to I have

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to trust the run game. I gotta trust the offensive line.

0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>And I felt like for the most part, you know,

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>I was able to do that. But but then the

0:02:01.880 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>guys really took it upon themselves to execute and Um,

0:02:05.600 --> 0:02:06.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, it did a great job and that just

0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:09.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of settled your quarterback and then you know, a

0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of the RPO, a lot of the play action

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:14.240
<v Speaker 1>game can come off that, and um had some opportunity

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>down the field. Alshan had a tremendous game, you know,

0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball down the field, and just you know,

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 1>I think you just saw just a team effort and

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:23.240
<v Speaker 1>guys just just playing together and then having a lot

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:25.120
<v Speaker 1>of fun out there. Speaking to the team, ever, talk

0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>about the compliment. You got some turnovers, you got a

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.760
<v Speaker 1>good special team play, good defensive play. Talk about how

0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.680
<v Speaker 1>the each phase complimented the other phase of the team.

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's what we've talked about all season long.

0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>When when you can generate turnovers, your offense can capitalize

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.320
<v Speaker 1>and they can score and score points. And we did

0:02:43.360 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>that tonight. You know, we had a Bante. Mattis had

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a huge bay. Of course, we had the biggest turnover

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.560
<v Speaker 1>all at the end of the game. But and then

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.639
<v Speaker 1>we had you know, we had the other interception, so

0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball was kind of bouncing around and our defense

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:57.000
<v Speaker 1>got that ball too. So I mean, that's that's what

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.840
<v Speaker 1>happens when when when you can create those turnovers. And

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>I thought our defensive line just got after the rams

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>and and and listen, that's that's a good that's a

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 1>good team. And give them a lot of credit. They're

0:03:07.240 --> 0:03:09.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna go a long way. And um, again, just a

0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:11.359
<v Speaker 1>great team effort. A lot of people in the off

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>season said, hey, maybe trade Nick Foles for something. This

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>is exactly why you kept him here and wanted him here, right,

0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>It's exactly right. You know, you get to moments like

0:03:20.560 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>this and you have a veteran, veteran back up and

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>and really, uh, you know, you can you can just

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:28.280
<v Speaker 1>just kind of kind of put last year but you

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>know behind us and just focus on this this year

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:33.240
<v Speaker 1>and having a veteran player who can come in and

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>under under adverse situation that he did, and um just

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>lead this football team. And it's a credit to him obviously,

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.960
<v Speaker 1>and and I think really too u for the for

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:44.560
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the team to really around, rally around

0:03:44.640 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>him and support him as well. Go and enjoy this win,

0:03:47.960 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>which we will ask you one question though, Yeah, who's

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>your starting quarterback next week? I'll let you know later

0:03:53.080 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>in the week. Perfect, stretch it all the way all Saturday, right,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>exactly right. Thanks,
