WEBVTT - Press Conference: Doug Pederson August 23

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:03.200
<v Speaker 1>Not not not Nick. Offensively, we had six possessions, we had

0:00:03.200 --> 0:00:05.720
<v Speaker 1>two interceptions, two fumbles, we had a sack safety, and

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:08.799
<v Speaker 1>we had to turnover and down. So that's an offensive performance.

0:00:08.880 --> 0:00:19.640
<v Speaker 1>I was displeased with where our first offense executed. Go ahead, Yeah,

0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:21.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the thing is we were able to

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:23.840
<v Speaker 1>move the ball and got into some rhythm and and uh,

0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.280
<v Speaker 1>uh did some did some really nice things. We just

0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>didn't capitalize and finish the drive and and and that's

0:00:29.160 --> 0:00:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the part we got to look at and and uh,

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've got to do obviously my part to

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>to put us in situations from a play caller standpoint,

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>so I it leans, you know, solely on me, and

0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.839
<v Speaker 1>uh and then obviously the players have to execute you

0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:47.520
<v Speaker 1>know what we what we call so disappointing the offense

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>distance you know, it's just a preseason Um. First of all,

0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm disappointing the offense. I don't want to single out

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 1>one one player, So don't put the is all on Nick.

0:01:01.480 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm disappointed in the offense. UM. And and it's not

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:07.679
<v Speaker 1>what you want obviously in the third preseason week. Um,

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, listen, it's it's one of those things where

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 1>We're still keeping things very very vanilla, and we still

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.400
<v Speaker 1>want to evaluate and make sure you know, we're doing uh,

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.600
<v Speaker 1>we got the right guys in the right spots. But uh,

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:22.039
<v Speaker 1>you know, now now we turn our attention obviously, we've

0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>got one more preseason game and then and then turn

0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.840
<v Speaker 1>our attention to to Atlanta on Week one. However, by

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>the defense especially, I think that the first get goal

0:01:30.319 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>at the one and they shut it down. It's tremendous.

0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:34.679
<v Speaker 1>I thought defense played outstanding. You know, they were they

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.440
<v Speaker 1>were they were flying around, they were making plays that

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:39.240
<v Speaker 1>the goal line stand was was was pretty impressive. And

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's what you want from the defense, and

0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 1>kept you know, kept the offense obviously in the game,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>the entire the entire game. Uh, and the offense has

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>just got to do their part, you know, and and

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>and capitalize on on opportunities. It seems a big caveat

0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:53.360
<v Speaker 1>it's that you recent five and some starters, three other

0:01:53.360 --> 0:01:58.360
<v Speaker 1>contributors there. How much different expect his offense a little well,

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:02.240
<v Speaker 1>I think it'll be different, you know, as you mentioned, um,

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, and we just got to make sure that

0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>these guys are ready to go. Obviously, you know, in

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks and and uh, we'll take a

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:11.080
<v Speaker 1>look at this film obviously evaluate the guys that played

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>and and uh and you get them healthy and ready

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:24.400
<v Speaker 1>for par Atlanta. Um, It's it could be a lot

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of factors, you know. Um, it's hard to pinpoint one.

0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 1>But I think, uh, you know, I think, uh, sometimes

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:33.359
<v Speaker 1>maybe you just you just you put a little bit

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:37.120
<v Speaker 1>too much pressure on yourself or you pressed to make

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:40.520
<v Speaker 1>a play or whatever it might be. Um, you know,

0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>and and and I don't know, it's it's tough. It's tough.

0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.640
<v Speaker 1>I haven't been in those situations before. Um. Sometimes you

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.280
<v Speaker 1>you you feel like you need to make a play

0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>yourself when when you're struggling offensively and and and it

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>doesn't come. So you know, we just we can't do that.

0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.040
<v Speaker 1>We got to stick within our uh, stick within our plan,

0:02:58.120 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>stick within our means. And can you need to execute

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.600
<v Speaker 1>that position as a player, as a play, Yeah, very

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>seldom worth a guy and he's kind of not the

0:03:08.520 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>guy here. Do you think that that pleads into how

0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:14.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know, I mean he you know,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he finished the end of the season pretty well last year,

0:03:17.520 --> 0:03:20.280
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, we know we know who

0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:21.920
<v Speaker 1>he is, and and and what we need to do

0:03:21.960 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>to get him ready to go. And and again we're

0:03:24.680 --> 0:03:27.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're still pretty vanilla offensively and we haven't

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.600
<v Speaker 1>done any of our urpo game and you know, those

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:31.240
<v Speaker 1>are all things that that are that are part of

0:03:31.240 --> 0:03:33.600
<v Speaker 1>his strengths too. And uh so, so we got to

0:03:33.639 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure that we're when we put game plans together

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:38.600
<v Speaker 1>going forward, that that that we're utilizing his strength too.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:42.160
<v Speaker 1>You're not going to give any consideration to playing them

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:50.640
<v Speaker 1>in the fourth preseason game, right none? I know, yeah

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:53.760
<v Speaker 1>at this point now was playing in the second hand?

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.840
<v Speaker 1>Um no, they you know, uh no, Now, I mean,

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought about it just a touch, but

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>I thought that'd be a great opportunity for Nate to

0:04:03.280 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>get back out there and and and get another another

0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:08.040
<v Speaker 1>good opportunity to see him and I'll see some of

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>those twos out there. He's fine, Yeah, he's good. Of course,

0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I'll get to get a report here in a minute

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and let y'all know in the the next couple of days.

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.480
<v Speaker 1>But he came off and you know, he finished and

0:04:17.520 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>he was fine. So what you've been through something like

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>Nick has and the way lest year ended, like New

0:04:22.360 --> 0:04:26.280
<v Speaker 1>Reference is there. It's part of him trying to be

0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, great before we can just kind of go

0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:30.720
<v Speaker 1>run the offense. Is trying to be super for VP

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:34.080
<v Speaker 1>Nick instead of just yeah, you know, I don't know.

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I would say that you might

0:04:37.200 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>want to ask him, you know that question. Um. But

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.279
<v Speaker 1>but again, you know, we just got to make sure

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:45.840
<v Speaker 1>that that as coaches and and myself included as play callers,

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.479
<v Speaker 1>that that we put our guys in in in positions

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.480
<v Speaker 1>to be successful. And uh, you know, the past is

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.200
<v Speaker 1>the past, and we can't we can't rely on that.

0:04:53.240 --> 0:04:55.880
<v Speaker 1>It's a new season, new team, and and uh, you know,

0:04:55.920 --> 0:04:57.800
<v Speaker 1>we just got to continue to work and get better.

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:03.200
<v Speaker 1>I was, thus, are you kissed off? And there? Are

0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>you plocalizing any disappointment in you arr trying to kind

0:05:06.960 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 1>of well, I mean, you know, when you don't score

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>and and you play the way you play on offense,

0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.440
<v Speaker 1>it's uh and up being an offensive guy. Uh, you know,

0:05:19.560 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm not I'm not very jovial jovial in there, you know,

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:26.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not pattent guys on the back, you know,

0:05:27.040 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>praise the defense. I think the defense played played lights out,

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:33.440
<v Speaker 1>played like they should, you know, and and offense just

0:05:33.480 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>didn't do enough obviously, and and uh, you know they

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>understand it, and I wanted to make sure they they

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:40.920
<v Speaker 1>heard it from me. And and we just move on,

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, we fix it and move on. And uh,

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:48.359
<v Speaker 1>season begins in a couple of weeks. Most of the

0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 1>starters obviously not going to plain that fourth season an

0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:56.360
<v Speaker 1>interesting like this doesn't linger into the regular season. Well, um,

0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:58.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, the way the schedule set up now for

0:05:58.080 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>us practice wise, we get a chance to, um, still

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.120
<v Speaker 1>work the starters a lot, you know, this next couple

0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>of days and and uh, you know, get them mentally

0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:08.840
<v Speaker 1>and physically prepared for that for that week one opener,

0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:11.880
<v Speaker 1>and you know, still still got to work, you know,

0:06:11.920 --> 0:06:13.640
<v Speaker 1>still got to put in the hard work in preparation.

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.719
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know they understand that, they know that

0:06:15.720 --> 0:06:18.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a veteran group, and and uh they'll they'll they'll

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:20.480
<v Speaker 1>bounce back, They'll they'll respond They've always done that. And

0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.360
<v Speaker 1>and this is no difference. What did you see from

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.160
<v Speaker 1>bide Tie and what's he was working through to try

0:06:24.200 --> 0:06:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to get back to that level he was playing at

0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>last year. I mean he's you know, he's another one's

0:06:28.080 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 1>battling every single snap and you know, fighting and and

0:06:31.560 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>uh trying to do trying to work his technique and

0:06:33.680 --> 0:06:36.279
<v Speaker 1>his fundamentals and and uh you know, had had a

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.320
<v Speaker 1>couple of plays tonight that I'm sure he'd want back.

0:06:38.360 --> 0:06:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But you know, he's another one that we just got

0:06:40.360 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to continue to you know, build confidence in. And we

0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.000
<v Speaker 1>know what type of player he is, and um, you

0:06:46.040 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>know got to continue to uh you know, get him

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>the reps and the work he needs in practice to

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>be to be ready to go. Isaac played four positions tonight.

0:06:54.600 --> 0:06:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Would player? Um well I thought I thought he played

0:06:58.000 --> 0:07:01.359
<v Speaker 1>played well. Actually, uh well, you know the tape. Evaluate

0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>the tape obviously, you know, going home and get a

0:07:04.320 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>chance to look at it. But you know, he's one

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:08.960
<v Speaker 1>of those guys that very versatile, you know, can play

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:14.280
<v Speaker 1>all all five positions and and um smart athletic. I thought, overall,

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.840
<v Speaker 1>did it, did a nice job? Okay, thank you guys,
