Speaker 1: Farrell had a knee, no a cl no m c O.
Speaker 1: But I'll figure out exactly what it is tomorrow. Uh.
Speaker 1: Taylor Hawkins there at the end had a wrist and
Speaker 1: that was it from the game.
Speaker 2: We talked about through the week and how much of
Speaker 2: this game is you just holding your breath, not wanting
Speaker 2: to see somebody go.
Speaker 1: Down the whole game. Yeah, you know you want to
Speaker 1: get a win, but you also want to make sure
Speaker 1: that and I was unfortunate to have that with Klee.
Speaker 1: Mostly everything else went pretty clean.
Speaker 3: Though there's a chance he could could miss a game.
Speaker 1: Ah, Yes, there's a chance.
Speaker 2: Going to the playoffs.
Speaker 3: How concerned are you with Chap misses today?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's never good when you miss him. I'm
Speaker 1: especially having two like that and the extra point, and
Speaker 1: I think it was his first one inside the forty
Speaker 1: maybe all year. But you know, but he's had a
Speaker 1: hell of a year. He's done a hell of a
Speaker 1: job up to this point and just had a rough
Speaker 1: day to day.
Speaker 2: Would you see bringing in somebody on a practice squad
Speaker 2: or just having somebody else on hand.
Speaker 1: No, he's been great all year and I know he
Speaker 1: was rough on those two today, but no, we're good
Speaker 1: with Jake. What did you think of Sam Donald today?
Speaker 1: I thought Sam did some real good things, made a
Speaker 1: number of plays that kept us out there. He did
Speaker 1: a great job scrambling. It's awesome on his sneaks the
Speaker 1: quarterback draw. Then he moved to the chains one other
Speaker 1: time with his legs, made some big throws. I know
Speaker 1: that last play was unfortunate, just stepping up in the
Speaker 1: pocket there and those guys coming from behind him with
Speaker 1: the fumble. But I was happy with Sam today.
Speaker 2: What are you seeing with Beale? He had seemed like he.
Speaker 1: Had a nice day to day. Yes, I was glad
Speaker 1: to get a lot of guys some more playing time today.
Speaker 1: You know, he's been great since he came back from
Speaker 1: my R. He's getting better and better each week, and
Speaker 1: today was good for him. I'm excited to watch the
Speaker 1: tape and see exactly how he did. But it seemed
Speaker 1: like he did some good things. I love you guys
Speaker 1: like Trent and Osa those kids.
Speaker 2: Did you have a set number of plays you wanted
Speaker 2: to get in or was it a series like how did.
Speaker 3: You kind of No?
Speaker 1: I mean I told Trent and Nick, you know we're
Speaker 1: trying to go around ten to fifteen. You know, it
Speaker 1: was perfect with that opening play drive. I mean the
Speaker 1: opening drive being about ten plays, so that was great
Speaker 1: for Trent, and it was weird with the defense. You know,
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, they had that opening eleven
Speaker 1: play drive and then I think we got to pick
Speaker 1: on the first play. There was only like twelve plays
Speaker 1: until on the very end of the two minute when
Speaker 1: they're trying to get Pook of the ball. But once
Speaker 1: some time went, I mean I got got them out
Speaker 1: there at the end of the second quarter and no
Speaker 1: one came back after half. What was your message in
Speaker 1: the locker room in terms of maybe switching into the
Speaker 1: playoff mindset now, I mean kind of. I mean that's
Speaker 1: really what we talked about all week, having that playoff mindset,
Speaker 1: no on to the level that we have to play
Speaker 1: at coming in a couple of weeks. And that's why
Speaker 1: it was so important for us to get a lot
Speaker 1: out of this week. You know, we had to practice
Speaker 1: that way. We talked about it a lot last night
Speaker 1: at our team meeting and set the schedule for the
Speaker 1: week and guys are gonna have tomorrow off, but we'll
Speaker 1: come here Tuesday treated like a day after game. On
Speaker 1: Tuesday and keep going. You practice hard this week? Yeah,
Speaker 1: well we'll have two days. We practiced real hard. We'll
Speaker 1: probably have one day we just do like a key
Speaker 1: a team conditioning thing, not much football, but we'll have
Speaker 1: two days. We practiced real hard.
Speaker 2: Kittle and Greenlaw were pregame scratches were concerned with that injury.
Speaker 1: No, I mean, I bet you. I mean they definitely
Speaker 1: were trying to go. But Kittle's having some backspasms some
Speaker 1: once that was happening in pregame. We shut him down.
Speaker 1: And Drey had some achilles tendonitis, so that was acting
Speaker 1: up a little bit more before the game than we
Speaker 1: had heard about it. And once we heard that we
Speaker 1: were safe for them.
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, anything beneficial at all about playing the Rams
Speaker 3: in case they're your first round opponent, I don't think so.
Speaker 1: But yeah, they got us ready for that, so hopefully
Speaker 1: that we got better at that for today. How were
Speaker 1: you that McVeigh went for two?
Speaker 3: Did you guys?
Speaker 1: Did you guys talk at all before the game any
Speaker 1: gentleman's agreement on that? No, I mean we both and
Speaker 1: we talked. We both knew what this game was for
Speaker 1: both of us, but I mean we both know we
Speaker 1: want to win, but first thing is trying to keep
Speaker 1: our players safe. And I was just told we were
Speaker 1: just trying our butts off to keep them from getting
Speaker 1: one more yard and one more completion of Puka so
Speaker 1: he could play in the whole game. So that's us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we were trying to Our goal is to just keep
Speaker 1: him going the whole game. But we knew it was
Speaker 1: gonna be tough. We only need one more catch and
Speaker 1: one more yard, but we tried our hardest.
Speaker 2: If someone did that to you, you know you're going
Speaker 2: for a number, and someone did that to your guy.
Speaker 1: No, I'd expect it, and that's why we'd throw to
Speaker 1: someone else. Opened But I was hoping they were gonna
Speaker 1: do that, but I think they wanted to get him
Speaker 1: out pretty fast, and I'm just glad he had to
Speaker 1: come in the third. It was small, small, small victory.
Speaker 3: So you're trying to tire amount? Is that?
Speaker 1: What's that? Not tire mount? Just I want them to
Speaker 1: go through the stress that we're going through. You don't
Speaker 1: want to get anyone hurt. I mean, those aren't that
Speaker 1: the most fun games for us. You gotta do it,
Speaker 1: and but you know what, I don't think we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk much about it next week, so we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about what players are available for this game and things
Speaker 1: like that. So I'm I mean, I'm trying not to
Speaker 1: be really upset how it ended personally, but I also
Speaker 1: got to keep it in perspective and make sure that
Speaker 1: we're ready for what matters going here forward.
Speaker 2: You are right into the playoffs, is your general assessment
Speaker 2: the way this right season win and how you feel
Speaker 2: about your team.
Speaker 1: I mean, our goal was to get the number one seed.
Speaker 1: That was our first and foremost goal. We did. It
Speaker 1: was just a little bit weird this last week, but
Speaker 1: I like how our guys handle it. I loved how
Speaker 1: our year went. I mean, we set out to do this,
Speaker 1: and I was real happy with a number of guys.
Speaker 1: I thought guy's got better throughout the year. But as
Speaker 1: our players have been saying, we still feel our best
Speaker 1: football's forward, and that's kind of tough to generate when
Speaker 1: you're not going through these games. But that's why we've
Speaker 1: got to be so locked into these practices and just
Speaker 1: how we clean things up and make sure no matter
Speaker 1: what happens, no matter who comes here in a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks and no matter what type of game it is,
Speaker 1: whether it's a shootout, game of field goals, whatever it is,
Speaker 1: that we're up for whatever it takes to win it,
Speaker 1: regardless of the circumstances. Is particularly annoying to lose to
Speaker 1: the sho No, I'm all right. I mean it's annoying
Speaker 1: to lose to everybody. I mean, you know, it's a
Speaker 1: little bit more when it's your rivals and or when
Speaker 1: it's someone in your division, and it's always a little
Speaker 1: bit more when you know people. But it's not just him.
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of people on this stuff, I know,
Speaker 1: so at all. They all annoy me. Any thought to
Speaker 1: giving Brandon Allen some run, not really, I mean we
Speaker 1: talked about it a little possibly, but the way that
Speaker 1: game was going and stuff, I thought it would have
Speaker 1: been a little bit unfair to Sam and loved how
Speaker 1: we battled and got that experience, been waiting for that
Speaker 1: all year and but now, and we talked about four
Speaker 1: the game, but it just didn't play out that way.
Speaker 1: I mean, I really, you know, we only really had
Speaker 1: two drives in the second half till there was about
Speaker 1: those to the four minutes until we had that three
Speaker 1: and out, So just weren't that many plays you.
Speaker 3: Advanced out at all this week coming up? Or do
Speaker 3: you just wait until you find out who you play
Speaker 3: because you have to you're not you can't play Detroit,
Speaker 3: you can't play Dallas, but any of.
Speaker 1: The other four you could. Yeah, we'll dabble in it all.
Speaker 1: I mean, we got to do something with that when
Speaker 1: we'll go crazy as coaches. But you know, hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: find out by Sunday. I don't starting to hit me that.
Speaker 1: I don't think we can officially find out till maybe Monday,
Speaker 1: because I know there's a Monday, there's Monday night games,
Speaker 1: so that'll be a little bit different. Haven't gone through that.
Speaker 1: So we'll definitely plan for all the possibilities and have
Speaker 1: be halfway in on a bunch and as soon as
Speaker 1: we get told then we'll be one hundred percent it
Speaker 1: all right, guys, see that
