Speaker 1: Well game, Uh, Dorio Greenbeckham dgb Uh. It's an abdominant, abdominant,
Speaker 1: it's an oblique contusion. It's it's uh. Um, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be pretty sore for him. We'll hold him out of
Speaker 1: practice actually on Wednesday, um this week, but he should
Speaker 1: right now, he should be okay for the game. Ryan
Speaker 1: Matthews knee is good. He's actually going to return to
Speaker 1: practice this week along with Jordan Matthews. Uh, he'll he'll
Speaker 1: return to practice and then and then Big V is
Speaker 1: coming along. He's gonna do a little more this week. Um,
Speaker 1: not from a practice standpoint, but from a rehab standpoint.
Speaker 1: And um, he's he's he's doing he's doing good. But uh,
Speaker 1: I will see where he is again later in the week.
Speaker 1: Everybody else is uh is good it, Doug. There was
Speaker 1: a run by Wentz in the first quarter in which
Speaker 1: Art's opted not the block, Vant's perfect. Have you got
Speaker 1: an explanation on that yet? And what's you're ontand what
Speaker 1: happened there? Was it? There was a couple in the game,
Speaker 1: and especially in the first had was this he had
Speaker 1: running to the right and scrambling to the right on
Speaker 1: the play. Yeah, it was it was a situation I
Speaker 1: think where it might have been the fact that, uh,
Speaker 1: and I haven't talked to Earths yet, so I haven't
Speaker 1: I haven't seen him, you know, Uh this morning so
Speaker 1: UM looking at the tape and watching where Carson was scrambling.
Speaker 1: Of course he was heading towards out of bounds, and
Speaker 1: I think he just pulled off at that point. That's
Speaker 1: all I can all I can say that, but I'll
Speaker 1: definitely gonna ask him why, Well, if he can, if
Speaker 1: he can, UH, pick up a block. Obviously we ask
Speaker 1: our guys to turn and block. We don't ever want
Speaker 1: anybody to block from behind or anything like that, but
Speaker 1: at the same time, try to try to find a
Speaker 1: block downfield if they can. Carson said after the game
Speaker 1: he didn't think mccans was the issue. Um with his overthrows,
Speaker 1: you said they were, Um wise there described to see there. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll just tell you this, going back and watching the
Speaker 1: tape this morning, UM and looking at the film, there's
Speaker 1: there's times when there's pressure in his face, so the
Speaker 1: ball is going to tend to sell high. There's also
Speaker 1: times where he's still back on his on his back
Speaker 1: foot and the ball ball sales high. So it's a
Speaker 1: combination of both, um, and it's just something we got
Speaker 1: to continue to work on. The kind of you talked
Speaker 1: about his back foot and his base. Is that so
Speaker 1: that in turn is affecting his arm motion. The feet
Speaker 1: and off the back foot, shoulders are going to be
Speaker 1: high ball tends to release high ball is going to
Speaker 1: be high. Um. There were a couple throws where he
Speaker 1: was able to step into his throw and make some
Speaker 1: nice accurate throws across the middle, uh, to Trey and
Speaker 1: to Zach a couple of times. So um, it's it's
Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure and a little bit of
Speaker 1: just making sure we're not sitting back there in the
Speaker 1: pocket off his back friend pressure in your face. So
Speaker 1: how's he how's he gonna how's he gonna get over that? Well,
Speaker 1: the biggest thing, and I think the just subtle movements.
Speaker 1: We talk about subtle movements in the pocket, not big
Speaker 1: draft movements. Uh. They could be just the fact of
Speaker 1: just hitching forward to avoid a lateral or a side rush,
Speaker 1: maybe stepping lateral to avoid anything coming into his face.
Speaker 1: But the biggest thing is we want to make sure
Speaker 1: that that he's on time and in rhythm with throw. Listen,
Speaker 1: there's gonna be times when when you're gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw off your back foot and make throws. That's just
Speaker 1: the nature. There's never really just a pure pocket, uh,
Speaker 1: with the way teams are either blitz rushing or just
Speaker 1: the pressure that you get from a bull rush. So um,
Speaker 1: it's just things that we learn and we continue to
Speaker 1: work on that one. Over to your words and fears,
Speaker 1: like a clean pocket, a wad the mechanics are probably
Speaker 1: that play. Know that one was more just I think
Speaker 1: just being overly aggressive quite honestly. Um. You know, sometimes
Speaker 1: you get in that position where you're you're trailing in
Speaker 1: the game and you just want to make a play
Speaker 1: and you press just a little bit and and um
Speaker 1: um it's something that uh, I know he would like
Speaker 1: to have back, you know, obviously we'd all like to
Speaker 1: have that him back on that throw. Do you worry
Speaker 1: about Carson at all? Mean, he's going through you know,
Speaker 1: his young kid, going through a tough side right now.
Speaker 1: His confidence, the swagger he had earlier this season. How
Speaker 1: do you see him handling this? I see him handling it. Well. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, these are the discussions that we will have myself,
Speaker 1: Frank Carson as we talk to him, because because you know,
Speaker 1: we've played, we've played obviously at this level and uh,
Speaker 1: my experience even in this city playing and knowing what
Speaker 1: that's all about, we can really help him, you know,
Speaker 1: and and uh it's our job to help him and
Speaker 1: make sure that he stays on track and stay focused
Speaker 1: and he doesn't get derailed by anything that's coming from
Speaker 1: the outside. Listen everything that from a quarterback's perspective, we
Speaker 1: we get to control everything. You know. We we touch
Speaker 1: the ball every single snap. So, um, the beauty of
Speaker 1: it is we control it, and uh, we can do
Speaker 1: we can do right going forward with with that decision
Speaker 1: that you wanted a deal, you were going to give
Speaker 1: him that first year to work on all this stuff. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean, do you still think it now, looking at
Speaker 1: the fact that he still can't it over these mechanical issues,
Speaker 1: that it would have been beneficial for him to more
Speaker 1: beneficial for him to sit well, I mean it's it's
Speaker 1: hard to to to answer. I mean, because you know,
Speaker 1: if we'd have had Sam here or whatever, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, you would have time to work on this
Speaker 1: and then we you know, these are the some of
Speaker 1: the decisions that that I made back when the when
Speaker 1: the trade was made, that that if there was going
Speaker 1: to be some some growing pains, these we're going to
Speaker 1: be some of the pains we're gonna have to go through.
Speaker 1: And just him, him understanding and him learning, and us
Speaker 1: growing together as a as a as an offense. Um,
Speaker 1: he and I growing as coach and quarterback together. And
Speaker 1: and uh, it's all part of the It's all part
Speaker 1: of the process. And and um, you know, the the
Speaker 1: thing about Carson is he he continues to work in
Speaker 1: practice on it. I know, Frank and coach d Flippo
Speaker 1: work on it every single day with him, and and
Speaker 1: he's very conscious of it. And and um, you know,
Speaker 1: and we're all obviously we're all disappointed that that things
Speaker 1: aren't are turning out our way and and uh, but
Speaker 1: yet we just we just continue to work that. Um,
Speaker 1: this tough stretch for him could negatively affect him long term.
Speaker 1: And how do you avoid that, Well, you avoid it
Speaker 1: by trying to you know, win win a football game. Uh,
Speaker 1: and you try to win as many as you can. Now,
Speaker 1: you know with these last four that we got and
Speaker 1: and um, obviously you're you're looking towards if you're looking
Speaker 1: towards next season. You always want to go out, you
Speaker 1: know with the bang and uh and try to win
Speaker 1: as many as you can down the stretch. But you know,
Speaker 1: we listen, we all, um, we all sit here. I
Speaker 1: sit here today and say, hey, I wish things were different,
Speaker 1: you know, this season, the way things are going. But
Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, we continue to work.
Speaker 1: And uh, I don't think it's going to affect Carson
Speaker 1: going forward. I just don't think it's going to affect
Speaker 1: him at all. And and uh, because he's he's he's
Speaker 1: really a pros pro and he's learning how to handle
Speaker 1: adversity first time probably in his career. And um, you
Speaker 1: know it's something that we get to the OTAs and
Speaker 1: we get a full off season and we just continue
Speaker 1: to work out last week, get you know, leading ahead
Speaker 1: to next year in the idea of like I know,
Speaker 1: the wins losses aren't there, but we see things for
Speaker 1: the cool have Jeffery and how we expressed you the
Speaker 1: standard they're using to valuing you in the season and
Speaker 1: if they have, what is that standard they have not?
Speaker 1: In fact, from from both of them, it's been it's
Speaker 1: been one p support, you know, on on everything. And
Speaker 1: you know, um, I meet with Jeffrey and Howard every
Speaker 1: week and we discuss a lot of things and go
Speaker 1: over a lot of things and and um, you know
Speaker 1: every every week it's it's very positive and and uh
Speaker 1: um you know, I you know, I just don't think
Speaker 1: personally you you can. You can base a season on
Speaker 1: on on a couple of couple on on one season.
Speaker 1: You can base a guy's career on one season. I
Speaker 1: think you've got to, you know, give it time to develop.
Speaker 1: We got a rookie quarterback. We got to have time
Speaker 1: to develop this quarterback. It just doesn't happen overnight. So um,
Speaker 1: by no means have have they have they expressed anything
Speaker 1: to me, And it's been it's been positive and very
Speaker 1: supportive along those lines. So along those lines, do you
Speaker 1: do you feel like, um, after this season, your job
Speaker 1: is still secure with the team for sure. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: then they reinforced that with you for this Yes, that's
Speaker 1: about Carson. Is it is it harder to kind of
Speaker 1: hand for him to handle the distractions when things are
Speaker 1: going badly or early in the year when you know
Speaker 1: things were going great and never thought he was the
Speaker 1: next best thing about That's a great question because I
Speaker 1: think it's both. You know, I think you you learn
Speaker 1: how to handle in this business. You learn how to
Speaker 1: handle the positive and you learn how to handle the negative.
Speaker 1: And the way you do it is you maintain you
Speaker 1: maintain a a sort of that even keel. You know,
Speaker 1: a main, a main baseline, and you never get too
Speaker 1: high and you never get too low. Um, it's never
Speaker 1: as bad as you think, and it's ever as good
Speaker 1: as you think, because there's always room for improvement. And uh,
Speaker 1: and that that goes with me included. And uh, you know,
Speaker 1: as I say every week, I look at myself there
Speaker 1: and and uh, but I think we can take a
Speaker 1: lot of positive from from both winning and losing. You
Speaker 1: challenged the team, okay, you challenged the team last week
Speaker 1: after the Green Bay game to not just go through
Speaker 1: the motions here towards the end of the season. You're
Speaker 1: down twenty nine to nothing in the third quarter yesterday?
Speaker 1: Did was that the kind of reaction you were looking for?
Speaker 1: You down twenty nine nothing? Think the guy I didn't
Speaker 1: want to be to get the kind of I didn't
Speaker 1: see any quitting the guys. I mean, we battled back.
Speaker 1: We scored two touchdowns, had opportunities on a couple more
Speaker 1: drives to score. Defense was creating turnovers in the second half.
Speaker 1: I mean everybody was. We had a kickoff return, I
Speaker 1: mean everybody. Everybody was doing, um everything we could to
Speaker 1: get ourselves back into that football game. And so I
Speaker 1: didn't see any any quitting a guy. The dejection and
Speaker 1: the ill feeling after the game in the locker room,
Speaker 1: when you look at those guys in in the face
Speaker 1: and look at them in the eye, you know, shows
Speaker 1: me that that this team they care about each other. Um,
Speaker 1: they're disappointed that obviously we didn't play well and we
Speaker 1: get another opportunity. The strength of this team going into
Speaker 1: the season was the defensive line. It hasn't been productive
Speaker 1: for over a month now. At some point, do you
Speaker 1: being an offensive coach helped Jim scheme some different attack,
Speaker 1: maybe blitz more, maybe put a little bit more pressure
Speaker 1: on your defensive backs who aren't up to the pressure
Speaker 1: that you know they're they're enduring. Now, does something had
Speaker 1: to change over the last four games to get more
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback because the last four quarterbacks are
Speaker 1: just you know, catch up. Yeah, you know, and Jim
Speaker 1: and I you know, obviously with discussions and talking about
Speaker 1: that and everything. And one of the thing and the
Speaker 1: reason I brought Jim Sports here is because he can.
Speaker 1: He has the ability, and he's done it with uh,
Speaker 1: you know, different teams to to to put pressure with
Speaker 1: with four. I mean, that's that's been his philosophy, that's
Speaker 1: been been our philosophy ever since. And and if you start,
Speaker 1: if you I think, if you start, I don't want
Speaker 1: to say it's a panic move, but if you start
Speaker 1: trying to re scheme things and doing things a little
Speaker 1: bit out of the norm of what you sort of
Speaker 1: have your your your your your game plans and your
Speaker 1: philosophy based based around I mean, you're gonna you're gonna
Speaker 1: give up something to get something. So if you're gonna
Speaker 1: put pressure on the quarterback with five or six guys,
Speaker 1: then you're asking your back end to hold up. And
Speaker 1: and you're seeing, you know, even with Russian four, you're
Speaker 1: seeing you know, plays down the field being made. So
Speaker 1: you know, um, obviously there's a fine line there. I
Speaker 1: believe we still what was the number nineteen nineteen pressures
Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, So it's not for the lack
Speaker 1: of effort and scheme we just have to we have
Speaker 1: to coach it better, we have to play better in
Speaker 1: in in all aspects of the game. And you know,
Speaker 1: again it goes back to that we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: get something or we're gonna give up something. In following
Speaker 1: up unless question, um, the references to not quitting it,
Speaker 1: I'm sure that is in reference to the fourth quarters,
Speaker 1: but it takes a certain level of play to be
Speaker 1: training twenty nine hundred before that. How do you reconcile
Speaker 1: that difference? And what makes you think the team's getting
Speaker 1: the messaging I just spoke about last week? Well, um,
Speaker 1: you know, for again being consistent with the messaging. You know,
Speaker 1: I meet with uh, you know, I have a player
Speaker 1: committee that you know, and I meet with them every
Speaker 1: week and um, and we talk about these issues and
Speaker 1: we talk about certain things, and without getting into a
Speaker 1: lot of detail, the feedback has been extremely positive from
Speaker 1: the team, from those guys. So that right there leads
Speaker 1: me to believe that that that we're still we're still
Speaker 1: on track. Now, do we expect to go out and
Speaker 1: play like we've played the last couple of weeks. No,
Speaker 1: we don't. Um, do we expect to be bent down?
Speaker 1: Nineteen nothing at halftime. No, we don't. Um. Therefore it
Speaker 1: goes back to you know, I know where we are
Speaker 1: as a football team. As far as you know, we
Speaker 1: are playing with some young guys on offense. There are
Speaker 1: some younger guys on defense. Um, and you know we've
Speaker 1: got a left guard playing right tackle, and there's some
Speaker 1: there's some things. There's some pieces that are just not
Speaker 1: cohesive right now. I mean when when we had everybody
Speaker 1: early part of the season, you know, yeah, Lane was
Speaker 1: there at the right side, and you know Alan was
Speaker 1: at the left guard position and and things. We're rolling
Speaker 1: rolling pretty good. So we've had to We've had our
Speaker 1: share of adversity, you know, this season. And uh, um,
Speaker 1: by no means do we go into any game even
Speaker 1: the night before, the guys are Um, the guys are
Speaker 1: energetic and ready and and uh you know, I just
Speaker 1: I reminded them Saturday night just how how good they
Speaker 1: can be. And um, you know, UM, I just felt that,
Speaker 1: uh that you know, everything about this team right now
Speaker 1: is is still is still right there for the taking
Speaker 1: and uh, um, I don't see any quit in the guys.
Speaker 1: There have been some missues with signing counts, cadences. Uh,
Speaker 1: Kelsey Wins communications would have been, they don't seem like
Speaker 1: they've been gone away. This year. We've had a lot
Speaker 1: of them. You've had a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: a lot of presnat penalties. Yeah, a lot of presnap
Speaker 1: penalties and things that we we address in practice and
Speaker 1: things that I if it happens in practice, I actually
Speaker 1: stop it and we restart it and we do it again.
Speaker 1: I mean, you just gotta be it's gotta be a
Speaker 1: reinforced uh mindset mentality and um. You know with with
Speaker 1: the snap counts, we do use a lot of multiple
Speaker 1: snap counts. Uh, even in the silent cadence world. We
Speaker 1: we do. We do a lot of things. We want
Speaker 1: to get indicators by the defense. We're asking Carson to
Speaker 1: do some things in the run game, and and with
Speaker 1: protections and a lot of you're getting a lot of
Speaker 1: different looks from teams on third down, so we need
Speaker 1: to utilize our snap count the team. The offense is
Speaker 1: very aware of that. And and sometimes if there's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a hesitation um in Carson's cadence. You know,
Speaker 1: our tackles are set to to jump and and and
Speaker 1: and to pass. Set and and it happened a little
Speaker 1: bit yesterday with with Alan and JP, and of course
Speaker 1: Ertz had one and Isaac had one. As a tight end.
Speaker 1: We just can't, um, you know, we just can't. We
Speaker 1: can't put ourselves in that in that in that situation.
Speaker 1: And we'll continue to use the cadences. We got to
Speaker 1: continue to work on it. Um. Kelsey and Carson are uh,
Speaker 1: you know, um working every single day. They talk about it,
Speaker 1: even after practice, They sit in meetings, they watch tape together.
Speaker 1: They understand it. And and we actually go into games
Speaker 1: sort of detailing as far as you know, we want
Speaker 1: to use cadence on this play, this play, in this play,
Speaker 1: as we Golson going to be active. If Jordan I
Speaker 1: was able to go, yes, so he can play one
Speaker 1: hundred percent of the snaps. Was he was? He was
Speaker 1: he still going to play that in that amount? Did
Speaker 1: you still vision? Yeah, because Jordan would have been more
Speaker 1: you know, inside slot receiver if Jordan was healthy. You
Speaker 1: watch when you watch the tape, can you honestly say
Speaker 1: that every one of your players played hard? When you
Speaker 1: see receivers open a rushing touchdown where nobody touched the rusher.
Speaker 1: McCleod looked like he just stood there. And I don't
Speaker 1: want to dime out players for you, but can you
Speaker 1: honestly say that everybody played hard when you watch that tape?
Speaker 1: Not everybody? Not everybody? And that's the accountability that that
Speaker 1: that I talk about. And you know I I I
Speaker 1: hold coaches accountable for that. I hold myself accountable for
Speaker 1: that because it all starts with me and I make
Speaker 1: sure that I and I pride myself each week to
Speaker 1: make sure the guys are ready to go. But at
Speaker 1: the same time, it's, uh, it comes down to you know, um,
Speaker 1: it's a mentality by each individual player and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: this is a business where where we have to be
Speaker 1: ready to go um every single weekend because every team
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean there's some teams that are
Speaker 1: better than others, obviously, but for the most part, anything
Speaker 1: can happen each weekend. It's like this, are you you
Speaker 1: know they need this team needs to be loved up
Speaker 1: a little bit, you know, when they're down like this,
Speaker 1: or you think it's time for two. I think it's both.
Speaker 1: I think it's both, and I think there's a I
Speaker 1: think there's a a level of that tough love. There's
Speaker 1: got to be that accountability that I was talking about. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, I I I imploy and I challenge the
Speaker 1: leaders of the football team, you know, to to stand
Speaker 1: up and and and really not only hold themselves but
Speaker 1: the rest of the team. And uh, and listen, it's
Speaker 1: not a it's not a panic move or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but just hey, let's just make sure we're doing things right.
Speaker 1: Everybody just do things right, do their jobs, do their assignments, um,
Speaker 1: you know, and and good things are going to happen.
Speaker 1: So obviously, again it starts with me, and uh, I've
Speaker 1: got to make sure that I'm doing it right and
Speaker 1: I'm holding myself accountable. And you know, as you mentioned
Speaker 1: earlier with with Jeffrey and Howie, if they're holding me
Speaker 1: accountable and all that, I mean, that's where it starts.
Speaker 1: And then I and I relay that message to the
Speaker 1: assistance and on to the team. Thanks guys,
