WEBVTT - Press Conference: Doug Pederson October 28

0:00:03.840 --> 0:00:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I just think, uh, um, you know, it's communication at

0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>halftime that we had to finish the game. You know,

0:00:09.240 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>we had to play for another another thirty minutes, a

0:00:11.160 --> 0:00:13.039
<v Speaker 1>full full sixty and and I think the guys really

0:00:13.080 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>embraced that and did a nice job finishing and making

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:20.360
<v Speaker 1>plays when they had to. Um about defense did a

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.680
<v Speaker 1>nice job just kind of holding number three there late

0:00:22.720 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>and then and then offense going down and being able

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.159
<v Speaker 1>to win the game with a couple of runs. So

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:36.960
<v Speaker 1>just just a great way to finish, say that again, Yeah,

0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's on the line. I just

0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:40.480
<v Speaker 1>think every game is, every game is tough, every game

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:44.800
<v Speaker 1>is uh, you know, um a great opportunity to you know,

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:48.279
<v Speaker 1>take a step forward. Um. You know, things haven't really

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:51.199
<v Speaker 1>gone our way the first half of this season, but

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.480
<v Speaker 1>it was great to get this victory today and and

0:00:53.640 --> 0:00:56.800
<v Speaker 1>uh go into the break with with positive thoughts obviously,

0:00:56.840 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 1>and um get ready for the next one. But I

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.680
<v Speaker 1>didn't think it was necessarily a must win, you know situation.

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:12.880
<v Speaker 1>I haven't met with the medical team yet, so I can't.

0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>I can't speculate on that until I do probably know

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:26.560
<v Speaker 1>something probably tomorrow. Great play on the ball, um, It's

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:28.120
<v Speaker 1>what we talk about during the week. We need we

0:01:28.160 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 1>need defensive turnovers and and uh, they were able to

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>do that one then obviously the fourth down late in

0:01:32.880 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>the game, but a great job coming up rallying, you know,

0:01:35.480 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>putting his putting his hat on the ball, ball comes out,

0:01:37.600 --> 0:01:40.080
<v Speaker 1>Malcolm picks it up and then offense can can capitalize

0:01:40.080 --> 0:01:41.960
<v Speaker 1>on that. And that's one of the things I think

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of been missing the first first half of

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>the season is just quite frankly, uh, you know, turnovers

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and then short fields for the offense. And uh, um,

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:51.640
<v Speaker 1>I told the team, you know, even after the game,

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's that's a positive. That's what you know,

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>we can do that and we need we need more

0:01:56.680 --> 0:02:02.280
<v Speaker 1>of that, you know. Second half, Um, yeah, we just

0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.639
<v Speaker 1>felt comfortable with Josh. I mean, the other two guys

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>played a lot of special teams and just keeping everybody

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>fresh and rotated. I thought Wendell did a nice job

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.760
<v Speaker 1>as well. Corey came in there and and uh, and

0:02:11.919 --> 0:02:14.440
<v Speaker 1>he runs extremely hard. But but you know, Josh had

0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.480
<v Speaker 1>the hot hand today and just kind of kept him going,

0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:29.480
<v Speaker 1>got another one, keep going. No, he's just kind of

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.960
<v Speaker 1>where the ball went. Jordan made some great plays on

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball, some third down to catches. Um. You know,

0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:37.200
<v Speaker 1>he's really strong to the football right now, he's been

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 1>able to elevate and uh, he's he's really kind of

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>fitting in, you know to what we're what we're asking

0:02:42.040 --> 0:02:43.960
<v Speaker 1>him to do. And uh, he had a really good

0:02:44.000 --> 0:02:48.680
<v Speaker 1>game today. Yeah, you eliminate those two turnovers. Thought he

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>played extremely well, you know, led the team played, Uh,

0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:54.080
<v Speaker 1>played well, played tough, made some tough scrambles for some

0:02:54.160 --> 0:02:56.120
<v Speaker 1>first downs, I mean, being hung in there, you know.

0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 1>And and um just made a couple of great throws

0:02:59.440 --> 0:03:01.240
<v Speaker 1>on those touch ounced to the tight ends and then

0:03:01.280 --> 0:03:03.639
<v Speaker 1>and obviously the screen passed the WINDWLL. But yeah, I

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>thought he played played played aggressive, he played hard, played tough,

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 1>and and really really kept us in the game. He's

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>really he's really settled in to that role. Um. It

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>seems like he's just gotten gotten better each week. Um,

0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, even having like Malcolm and Corey Graham and

0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.120
<v Speaker 1>even Rodney you know McLeod out there helping him, you know,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.919
<v Speaker 1>during the week and talking to him, and of course

0:03:33.240 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>you know a coach on Lynn and Tim and those

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>guys preparing him. He's done done a nice job he's

0:03:37.760 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>really um kind of understood his role, understands his role,

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess, and and just uh fits within the system

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:53.120
<v Speaker 1>and has been been improving every week. Just told him,

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:55.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh, congratulations, you know, on on on a

0:03:55.680 --> 0:03:58.280
<v Speaker 1>hard fought win. Nothing's ever nothing's ever given to you.

0:03:58.280 --> 0:04:00.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, you have to go earn everything, take you

0:04:00.560 --> 0:04:03.040
<v Speaker 1>got to take games. I mean, it's just against a

0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.520
<v Speaker 1>great opponent. And so I just my hat was off

0:04:05.520 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>to our players and coaches for you know, being able

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to come over here and and and um you with

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>the travel and being able to handle that and be

0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.720
<v Speaker 1>disciplined with that and h was really really a positive

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:19.320
<v Speaker 1>for the team and and just sort of embraced the

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>moment being around the guys, and so I just told

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:23.560
<v Speaker 1>him it was just a great, great experience overall and

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 1>and a great way to uh to finish the first

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:29.800
<v Speaker 1>half of the season. It was a great crowd, great

0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>crowd eighty five plus. I think it was um a

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:35.920
<v Speaker 1>lot of Eagles fans and and uh you know we

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>we uh we expect that each week, quite honestly, and uh,

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, our our fans travel well. The the UK

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.440
<v Speaker 1>fans were in full force and it was felt like

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:54.560
<v Speaker 1>a home game. Force. Yeah, one more. Well, you saw

0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.480
<v Speaker 1>what happened right away. They took a shot, you know,

0:04:56.520 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>and went after him, and he's so he's so long,

0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 1>got great speed, and I thought he thought he played well.

0:05:01.000 --> 0:05:02.880
<v Speaker 1>You know, we'll evaluate the film on the plane going

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.919
<v Speaker 1>home and get a chance to watch it. But I thought, uh,

0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:07.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, I thought, Razil really stepped in and and

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:10.440
<v Speaker 1>we'll see, you know, Jalen's injury down down the next

0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:14.599
<v Speaker 1>couple of days. But Um filled it nicely. Okay, thanks,
