WEBVTT - Doug Pederson 1-on-1: December 3

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Coach has been a while. The first possession, you take

0:00:03.000 --> 0:00:06.480
<v Speaker 1>it down and you score points. Um, how did it happen?

0:00:06.559 --> 0:00:09.400
<v Speaker 1>And how did it feel for you? It felt great, um,

0:00:09.560 --> 0:00:12.319
<v Speaker 1>And I think you know, you look, it was a

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>good good mix of running pass. I think we we

0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>we you know, I leaned more towards the run, I

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:19.000
<v Speaker 1>think in the first that first drive, but you know,

0:00:19.040 --> 0:00:21.320
<v Speaker 1>it was it was it was well executed drive and

0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>it's something that uh uh, we haven't had much success

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:26.880
<v Speaker 1>this season, and it was good to put one together

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>to start this game. You got Golden Tat involved early

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.520
<v Speaker 1>in the football game, he scored that touchdown. Talk about

0:00:32.640 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>how you're finally incorporating him and how comfortable he's getting

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>in this offense. Well, he's getting real comfortable in the offense.

0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And and and I believe that was a broken play

0:00:40.400 --> 0:00:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that Carson actually scrambled and found him in the corner

0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>of the end zone. It was a great play by

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>Carson as well. And you know, he's just he's a

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>veteran player that really is just. Um, he's unselfish. He

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.320
<v Speaker 1>just wants to help this football team win and whatever

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>his role is. And um, you know he's getting more

0:00:53.840 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>comfortable and and we'll just continue to uh, you know,

0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>increase more and more. But one of the things tonight,

0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I think from Carson standpoint, was the fact that utilized

0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of a lot of targets, a lot of

0:01:03.640 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of players on offense in a passing game.

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.760
<v Speaker 1>And that's kind of what you need to have, that

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:08.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of balance. He was able to spread the ball around.

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.959
<v Speaker 1>What was it defensively from the Ridskins that you wanted

0:01:12.000 --> 0:01:14.720
<v Speaker 1>to take advantage of in this game? Well, we knew

0:01:14.880 --> 0:01:16.760
<v Speaker 1>this is a good this is a good defense. Um,

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:19.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially against the run. They're there, their tremendous

0:01:19.080 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>run defense, and they they they crowded the box and

0:01:21.720 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>they've got a really good, big, physical front two gap

0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>style of defense. And um, you know, we felt like

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.240
<v Speaker 1>it if we could control the line of scrimmage, Um,

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 1>we could we could really do some some some good

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>in the In the run game, I thought, you know,

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Stallin put together a really good run plan and um,

0:01:36.440 --> 0:01:38.400
<v Speaker 1>and then and then getting him in and it was

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 1>really eleven personnel to run and it was twelve personnel

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>to throw. It was kind of the kind of the

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>theme a little bit. But um, guys, just um you know,

0:01:47.400 --> 0:01:49.400
<v Speaker 1>they came to work this week, they executed well, they

0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>understood the game plan, and it was good to say

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.800
<v Speaker 1>how big was the screen game in tonight's game, because

0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I thought you got some big chunks in the screen

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>game we did. Second half of the game. I used

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 1>quite a few screens actually, and um, you know, I

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>think none bigger than the one Corpy had to start

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 1>I think the fourth quarter to get us down inside

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the inside the five. But um, yeah, screens are a

0:02:09.280 --> 0:02:12.760
<v Speaker 1>great change of pace. Uh They're a great way to

0:02:12.000 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>um sort of solidify and they kind of calm down

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:18.640
<v Speaker 1>any kind of pressure or rush from the defense. And uh,

0:02:18.880 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think our screen game the last couple

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>of weeks have really it's really improved and guys have

0:02:23.240 --> 0:02:26.560
<v Speaker 1>executed well. Darren sprowls back into lineup. Good for both

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>Darren and good for this offense. It is. It's great

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>to see him back out there. You know, he brings

0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>a breath of fresh air obviously, and it's great because

0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>of the adversity that he's faced this season. And then

0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:39.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, ultimately to get him in the end zone

0:02:39.919 --> 0:02:43.400
<v Speaker 1>I think is something that he really really will cherish.

0:02:43.440 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, looking back on this particular football game.

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>But um, it's great to get him out there, especially

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:51.519
<v Speaker 1>you know with the part returns. But we'll keep integrating

0:02:51.560 --> 0:02:53.639
<v Speaker 1>him each and every week. Talk about the defense has

0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>sounded a little bit. They gave up the one ninety

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>yard run to Adrian Peterson, but aside from that, they

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't give up a to that offensive the Ridskins. You know,

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>we kind of knew coming in that they were gonna

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>have to rely on the run. I think, and and

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>Adrian is as uh man, he's a he's an adress wonder.

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the kid just continues to play hard and

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and and he's have a really good season. And um,

0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.240
<v Speaker 1>he's another big back that we've had to you know,

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>we've had to uh tackle on these last couple of weeks.

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>But I really thought that um our perimeter guys tonight

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>actually really came up and did some nice things, you know,

0:03:24.480 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>making some tackles for loss and then some some minimal gains,

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and um, you know it's something if we can maybe

0:03:30.800 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>force them to pass, you know, and put it put

0:03:33.160 --> 0:03:35.480
<v Speaker 1>in the quarterback's hands, that we would have a little

0:03:35.480 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>bit of success to in that and our guys roach

0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:39.720
<v Speaker 1>to that challenger you got a big one coming up now,

0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.520
<v Speaker 1>going down to Dallas, a big week of preparation. Um,

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>how big is that? And and talk about the week

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>leading up to that. Yeah, you know, it's it's all

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>coming down to, you know, this last month of the

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>season for us. And and you know, we we've I've

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>asked the guys to commit now to to each other

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:57.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously here at the end of the year. And and

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, you know, we're right where we want

0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:02.840
<v Speaker 1>to be. Well, maybe not where we want to be,

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>but but under the under the circumstances, we're right, you know,

0:04:06.680 --> 0:04:09.080
<v Speaker 1>right where we need to be. And and we still

0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>get to control, you know, our own, uh the fate,

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>so to speak. And um, you know we we know

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.080
<v Speaker 1>Dallas a good football team. They're they're hot right now,

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.520
<v Speaker 1>they're on a little they're you know, obviously on a roll.

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.200
<v Speaker 1>And um, we're on a short week now, you know,

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.760
