<v Speaker 1>practice actually on Wednesday, um this week, but he should

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 1>right now, he should be okay for the game. Ryan

<v Speaker 1>return to practice and then and then Big V is

0:00:36.159 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 1>coming along. He's gonna do a little more this week. Um,

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>not from a practice standpoint, but from a rehab standpoint.

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.760
<v Speaker 1>And um, he's he's he's doing he's doing good. But uh,

0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I will see where he is again later in the week.

0:00:48.320 --> 0:00:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Everybody else is uh is good it, Doug. There was

0:00:51.800 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>a run by Wentz in the first quarter in which

0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>Art's opted not the block, Vant's perfect. Have you got

0:00:58.000 --> 0:01:00.640
<v Speaker 1>an explanation on that yet? And what's you're ontand what

0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.360
<v Speaker 1>happened there? Was it? There was a couple in the game,

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:07.400
<v Speaker 1>and especially in the first had was this he had

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.440
<v Speaker 1>running to the right and scrambling to the right on

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>the play. Yeah, it was it was a situation I

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>think where it might have been the fact that, uh,

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't talked to Earths yet, so I haven't

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen him, you know, Uh this morning so

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:26.080
<v Speaker 1>UM looking at the tape and watching where Carson was scrambling.

0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>Of course he was heading towards out of bounds, and

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I think he just pulled off at that point. That's

0:01:29.400 --> 0:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>all I can all I can say that, but I'll

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>definitely gonna ask him why, Well, if he can, if

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:39.800
<v Speaker 1>he can, UH, pick up a block. Obviously we ask

0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:42.200
<v Speaker 1>our guys to turn and block. We don't ever want

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:44.399
<v Speaker 1>anybody to block from behind or anything like that, but

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, try to try to find a

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:49.160
<v Speaker 1>block downfield if they can. Carson said after the game

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>he didn't think mccans was the issue. Um with his overthrows,

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:57.160
<v Speaker 1>you said they were, Um wise there described to see there. Well,

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I'll just tell you this, going back and watching the

0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:02.000
<v Speaker 1>tape this morning, UM and looking at the film, there's

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:04.160
<v Speaker 1>there's times when there's pressure in his face, so the

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:05.960
<v Speaker 1>ball is going to tend to sell high. There's also

0:02:06.000 --> 0:02:08.519
<v Speaker 1>times where he's still back on his on his back

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>foot and the ball ball sales high. So it's a

0:02:11.080 --> 0:02:13.919
<v Speaker 1>combination of both, um, and it's just something we got

0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>to continue to work on. The kind of you talked

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.840
<v Speaker 1>about his back foot and his base. Is that so

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>that in turn is affecting his arm motion. The feet

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.920
<v Speaker 1>and off the back foot, shoulders are going to be

0:02:28.000 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>high ball tends to release high ball is going to

0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 1>be high. Um. There were a couple throws where he

0:02:34.280 --> 0:02:36.320
<v Speaker 1>was able to step into his throw and make some

0:02:36.440 --> 0:02:39.560
<v Speaker 1>nice accurate throws across the middle, uh, to Trey and

0:02:39.600 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 1>to Zach a couple of times. So um, it's it's

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of pressure and a little bit of

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:47.160
<v Speaker 1>just making sure we're not sitting back there in the

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>pocket off his back friend pressure in your face. So

0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:54.480
<v Speaker 1>how's he how's he gonna how's he gonna get over that? Well,

0:02:54.480 --> 0:02:57.200
<v Speaker 1>the biggest thing, and I think the just subtle movements.

0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>We talk about subtle movements in the pocket, not big

0:02:59.639 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>draft movements. Uh. They could be just the fact of

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:07.120
<v Speaker 1>just hitching forward to avoid a lateral or a side rush,

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>maybe stepping lateral to avoid anything coming into his face.

0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:11.959
<v Speaker 1>But the biggest thing is we want to make sure

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.640
<v Speaker 1>that that he's on time and in rhythm with throw. Listen,

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>there's gonna be times when when you're gonna have to

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:20.080
<v Speaker 1>throw off your back foot and make throws. That's just

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:24.480
<v Speaker 1>the nature. There's never really just a pure pocket, uh,

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.520
<v Speaker 1>with the way teams are either blitz rushing or just

0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:30.360
<v Speaker 1>the pressure that you get from a bull rush. So um,

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.239
<v Speaker 1>it's just things that we learn and we continue to

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:37.640
<v Speaker 1>work on that one. Over to your words and fears,

0:03:37.680 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>like a clean pocket, a wad the mechanics are probably

0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that play. Know that one was more just I think

0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:47.920
<v Speaker 1>just being overly aggressive quite honestly. Um. You know, sometimes

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:49.840
<v Speaker 1>you get in that position where you're you're trailing in

0:03:49.880 --> 0:03:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the game and you just want to make a play

0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.480
<v Speaker 1>and you press just a little bit and and um

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>um it's something that uh, I know he would like

0:03:57.880 --> 0:03:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to have back, you know, obviously we'd all like to

0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 1>have that him back on that throw. Do you worry

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.720
<v Speaker 1>about Carson at all? Mean, he's going through you know,

0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.040
<v Speaker 1>his young kid, going through a tough side right now.

0:04:07.480 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>His confidence, the swagger he had earlier this season. How

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>do you see him handling this? I see him handling it. Well. Um,

0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, these are the discussions that we will have myself,

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>Frank Carson as we talk to him, because because you know,

0:04:20.160 --> 0:04:23.240
<v Speaker 1>we've played, we've played obviously at this level and uh,

0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>my experience even in this city playing and knowing what

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:29.000
<v Speaker 1>that's all about, we can really help him, you know,

0:04:29.080 --> 0:04:31.479
<v Speaker 1>and and uh it's our job to help him and

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:33.520
<v Speaker 1>make sure that he stays on track and stay focused

0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:36.320
<v Speaker 1>and he doesn't get derailed by anything that's coming from

0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>the outside. Listen everything that from a quarterback's perspective, we

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.240
<v Speaker 1>we get to control everything. You know. We we touch

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball every single snap. So, um, the beauty of

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>it is we control it, and uh, we can do

0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.400
<v Speaker 1>we can do right going forward with with that decision

0:04:51.960 --> 0:04:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that you wanted a deal, you were going to give

0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.680
<v Speaker 1>him that first year to work on all this stuff. Um,

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do you still think it now, looking at

0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.159
<v Speaker 1>the fact that he still can't it over these mechanical issues,

0:05:01.160 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>that it would have been beneficial for him to more

0:05:04.560 --> 0:05:08.120
<v Speaker 1>beneficial for him to sit well, I mean it's it's

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.680
<v Speaker 1>hard to to to answer. I mean, because you know,

0:05:10.720 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>if we'd have had Sam here or whatever, I mean, yeah,

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:15.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you would have time to work on this

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>and then we you know, these are the some of

0:05:17.440 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>the decisions that that I made back when the when

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:22.160
<v Speaker 1>the trade was made, that that if there was going

0:05:22.200 --> 0:05:24.080
<v Speaker 1>to be some some growing pains, these we're going to

0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:25.760
<v Speaker 1>be some of the pains we're gonna have to go through.

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.040
<v Speaker 1>And just him, him understanding and him learning, and us

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>growing together as a as a as an offense. Um,

0:05:32.160 --> 0:05:35.400
<v Speaker 1>he and I growing as coach and quarterback together. And

0:05:35.400 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>and uh, it's all part of the It's all part

0:05:37.240 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>of the process. And and um, you know, the the

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>thing about Carson is he he continues to work in

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>practice on it. I know, Frank and coach d Flippo

0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 1>work on it every single day with him, and and

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:52.680
<v Speaker 1>he's very conscious of it. And and um, you know,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>and we're all obviously we're all disappointed that that things

0:05:56.080 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>aren't are turning out our way and and uh, but

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.719
<v Speaker 1>yet we just we just continue to work that. Um,

0:06:02.720 --> 0:06:06.360
<v Speaker 1>this tough stretch for him could negatively affect him long term.

0:06:06.360 --> 0:06:09.800
<v Speaker 1>And how do you avoid that, Well, you avoid it

0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>by trying to you know, win win a football game. Uh,

0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:15.000
<v Speaker 1>and you try to win as many as you can. Now,

0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you know with these last four that we got and

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.440
<v Speaker 1>and um, obviously you're you're looking towards if you're looking

0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.920
<v Speaker 1>towards next season. You always want to go out, you

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>know with the bang and uh and try to win

0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.919
<v Speaker 1>as many as you can down the stretch. But you know,

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 1>we listen, we all, um, we all sit here. I

0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 1>sit here today and say, hey, I wish things were different,

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, this season, the way things are going. But

0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.799
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, you know, we continue to work.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:44.320
<v Speaker 1>And uh, I don't think it's going to affect Carson

0:06:44.400 --> 0:06:46.200
<v Speaker 1>going forward. I just don't think it's going to affect

0:06:46.240 --> 0:06:49.920
<v Speaker 1>him at all. And and uh, because he's he's he's

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:52.040
<v Speaker 1>really a pros pro and he's learning how to handle

0:06:52.600 --> 0:06:56.320
<v Speaker 1>adversity first time probably in his career. And um, you

0:06:56.360 --> 0:06:58.720
<v Speaker 1>know it's something that we get to the OTAs and

0:06:58.760 --> 0:07:00.920
<v Speaker 1>we get a full off season and we just continue

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:07.440
<v Speaker 1>to work out last week, get you know, leading ahead

0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.640
<v Speaker 1>to next year in the idea of like I know,

0:07:10.680 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>the wins losses aren't there, but we see things for

0:07:13.600 --> 0:07:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the cool have Jeffery and how we expressed you the

0:07:17.080 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>standard they're using to valuing you in the season and

0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:23.360
<v Speaker 1>if they have, what is that standard they have not?

0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>In fact, from from both of them, it's been it's

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>been one p support, you know, on on everything. And

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, I meet with Jeffrey and Howard every

0:07:31.600 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>week and we discuss a lot of things and go

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>over a lot of things and and um, you know

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.680
<v Speaker 1>every every week it's it's very positive and and uh

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 1>um you know, I you know, I just don't think

0:07:43.320 --> 0:07:46.120
<v Speaker 1>personally you you can. You can base a season on

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.280
<v Speaker 1>on on a couple of couple on on one season.

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>You can base a guy's career on one season. I

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.880
<v Speaker 1>think you've got to, you know, give it time to develop.

0:07:53.960 --> 0:07:56.360
<v Speaker 1>We got a rookie quarterback. We got to have time

0:07:56.400 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>to develop this quarterback. It just doesn't happen overnight. So um,

0:08:00.960 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>by no means have have they have they expressed anything

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to me, And it's been it's been positive and very

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:09.320
<v Speaker 1>supportive along those lines. So along those lines, do you

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:12.640
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like, um, after this season, your job

0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:16.640
<v Speaker 1>is still secure with the team for sure. Yeah, and

0:08:16.720 --> 0:08:20.920
<v Speaker 1>then they reinforced that with you for this Yes, that's

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:25.120
<v Speaker 1>about Carson. Is it is it harder to kind of

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>hand for him to handle the distractions when things are

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.440
<v Speaker 1>going badly or early in the year when you know

0:08:29.520 --> 0:08:31.360
<v Speaker 1>things were going great and never thought he was the

0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.840
<v Speaker 1>next best thing about That's a great question because I

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>think it's both. You know, I think you you learn

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:41.040
<v Speaker 1>how to handle in this business. You learn how to

0:08:41.080 --> 0:08:43.720
<v Speaker 1>handle the positive and you learn how to handle the negative.

0:08:43.800 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And the way you do it is you maintain you

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:50.520
<v Speaker 1>maintain a a sort of that even keel. You know,

0:08:50.920 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>a main, a main baseline, and you never get too

0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:58.000
<v Speaker 1>high and you never get too low. Um, it's never

0:08:58.040 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>as bad as you think, and it's ever as good

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:04.160
<v Speaker 1>as you think, because there's always room for improvement. And uh,

0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>and that that goes with me included. And uh, you know,

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:10.040
<v Speaker 1>as I say every week, I look at myself there

0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, but I think we can take a

0:09:12.240 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of positive from from both winning and losing. You

0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:19.640
<v Speaker 1>challenged the team, okay, you challenged the team last week

0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:22.920
<v Speaker 1>after the Green Bay game to not just go through

0:09:22.960 --> 0:09:25.319
<v Speaker 1>the motions here towards the end of the season. You're

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:27.840
<v Speaker 1>down twenty nine to nothing in the third quarter yesterday?

0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Did was that the kind of reaction you were looking for?

0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>You down twenty nine nothing? Think the guy I didn't

0:09:34.480 --> 0:09:37.760
<v Speaker 1>want to be to get the kind of I didn't

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.240
<v Speaker 1>see any quitting the guys. I mean, we battled back.

0:09:40.280 --> 0:09:42.800
<v Speaker 1>We scored two touchdowns, had opportunities on a couple more

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.360
<v Speaker 1>drives to score. Defense was creating turnovers in the second half.

0:09:46.400 --> 0:09:48.839
<v Speaker 1>I mean everybody was. We had a kickoff return, I

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:56.120
<v Speaker 1>mean everybody. Everybody was doing, um everything we could to

0:09:56.160 --> 0:09:58.400
<v Speaker 1>get ourselves back into that football game. And so I

0:09:58.440 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't see any any quitting a guy. The dejection and

0:10:03.040 --> 0:10:06.840
<v Speaker 1>the ill feeling after the game in the locker room,

0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:08.880
<v Speaker 1>when you look at those guys in in the face

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and look at them in the eye, you know, shows

0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:15.120
<v Speaker 1>me that that this team they care about each other. Um,

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:19.200
<v Speaker 1>they're disappointed that obviously we didn't play well and we

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>get another opportunity. The strength of this team going into

0:10:23.320 --> 0:10:26.439
<v Speaker 1>the season was the defensive line. It hasn't been productive

0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 1>for over a month now. At some point, do you

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:37.440
<v Speaker 1>being an offensive coach helped Jim scheme some different attack,

0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:41.000
<v Speaker 1>maybe blitz more, maybe put a little bit more pressure

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>on your defensive backs who aren't up to the pressure

0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:47.240
<v Speaker 1>that you know they're they're enduring. Now, does something had

0:10:47.320 --> 0:10:50.040
<v Speaker 1>to change over the last four games to get more

0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:53.080
<v Speaker 1>pressure on the quarterback because the last four quarterbacks are

0:10:53.120 --> 0:10:56.160
<v Speaker 1>just you know, catch up. Yeah, you know, and Jim

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 1>and I you know, obviously with discussions and talking about

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.920
<v Speaker 1>that and everything. And one of the thing and the

0:11:02.960 --> 0:11:05.319
<v Speaker 1>reason I brought Jim Sports here is because he can.

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.640
<v Speaker 1>He has the ability, and he's done it with uh,

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, different teams to to to put pressure with

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.760
<v Speaker 1>with four. I mean, that's that's been his philosophy, that's

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:19.200
<v Speaker 1>been been our philosophy ever since. And and if you start,

0:11:19.240 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>if you I think, if you start, I don't want

0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.200
<v Speaker 1>to say it's a panic move, but if you start

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.000
<v Speaker 1>trying to re scheme things and doing things a little

0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:30.080
<v Speaker 1>bit out of the norm of what you sort of

0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>have your your your your your game plans and your

0:11:33.280 --> 0:11:38.199
<v Speaker 1>philosophy based based around I mean, you're gonna you're gonna

0:11:38.559 --> 0:11:42.200
<v Speaker 1>give up something to get something. So if you're gonna

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.000
<v Speaker 1>put pressure on the quarterback with five or six guys,

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 1>then you're asking your back end to hold up. And

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.600
<v Speaker 1>and you're seeing, you know, even with Russian four, you're

0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:54.839
<v Speaker 1>seeing you know, plays down the field being made. So

0:11:56.040 --> 0:11:59.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, um, obviously there's a fine line there. I

0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:04.520
<v Speaker 1>believe we still what was the number nineteen nineteen pressures

0:12:05.040 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>in the game yesterday, So it's not for the lack

0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:12.160
<v Speaker 1>of effort and scheme we just have to we have

0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>to coach it better, we have to play better in

0:12:15.400 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>in in all aspects of the game. And you know,

0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>again it goes back to that we're gonna we're gonna

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:25.320
<v Speaker 1>get something or we're gonna give up something. In following

0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>up unless question, um, the references to not quitting it,

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that is in reference to the fourth quarters,

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:34.360
<v Speaker 1>but it takes a certain level of play to be

0:12:34.400 --> 0:12:37.280
<v Speaker 1>training twenty nine hundred before that. How do you reconcile

0:12:37.400 --> 0:12:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that difference? And what makes you think the team's getting

0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:50.120
<v Speaker 1>the messaging I just spoke about last week? Well, um,

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:56.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, for again being consistent with the messaging. You know,

0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I meet with uh, you know, I have a player

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:01.960
<v Speaker 1>committee that you know, and I meet with them every

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.960
<v Speaker 1>week and um, and we talk about these issues and

0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>we talk about certain things, and without getting into a

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:10.199
<v Speaker 1>lot of detail, the feedback has been extremely positive from

0:13:10.200 --> 0:13:14.559
<v Speaker 1>the team, from those guys. So that right there leads

0:13:14.559 --> 0:13:16.960
<v Speaker 1>me to believe that that that we're still we're still

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:20.200
<v Speaker 1>on track. Now, do we expect to go out and

0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.520
<v Speaker 1>play like we've played the last couple of weeks. No,

0:13:22.800 --> 0:13:25.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't. Um, do we expect to be bent down?

0:13:25.640 --> 0:13:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Nineteen nothing at halftime. No, we don't. Um. Therefore it

0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:33.280
<v Speaker 1>goes back to you know, I know where we are

0:13:33.320 --> 0:13:35.760
<v Speaker 1>as a football team. As far as you know, we

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.439
<v Speaker 1>are playing with some young guys on offense. There are

0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:43.320
<v Speaker 1>some younger guys on defense. Um, and you know we've

0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 1>got a left guard playing right tackle, and there's some

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.079
<v Speaker 1>there's some things. There's some pieces that are just not

0:13:49.480 --> 0:13:51.720
<v Speaker 1>cohesive right now. I mean when when we had everybody

0:13:51.760 --> 0:13:53.400
<v Speaker 1>early part of the season, you know, yeah, Lane was

0:13:53.400 --> 0:13:55.800
<v Speaker 1>there at the right side, and you know Alan was

0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.439
<v Speaker 1>at the left guard position and and things. We're rolling

0:13:58.559 --> 0:14:01.440
<v Speaker 1>rolling pretty good. So we've had to We've had our

0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>share of adversity, you know, this season. And uh, um,

0:14:04.679 --> 0:14:07.079
<v Speaker 1>by no means do we go into any game even

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the night before, the guys are Um, the guys are

0:14:10.800 --> 0:14:13.920
<v Speaker 1>energetic and ready and and uh you know, I just

0:14:14.000 --> 0:14:16.839
<v Speaker 1>I reminded them Saturday night just how how good they

0:14:16.880 --> 0:14:21.680
<v Speaker 1>can be. And um, you know, UM, I just felt that,

0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:26.360
<v Speaker 1>uh that you know, everything about this team right now

0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:30.040
<v Speaker 1>is is still is still right there for the taking

0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.760
<v Speaker 1>and uh, um, I don't see any quit in the guys.

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>There have been some missues with signing counts, cadences. Uh,

0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:42.600
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey Wins communications would have been, they don't seem like

0:14:42.640 --> 0:14:44.520
<v Speaker 1>they've been gone away. This year. We've had a lot

0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:45.840
<v Speaker 1>of them. You've had a lot of a lot of

0:14:45.840 --> 0:14:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of presnat penalties. Yeah, a lot of presnap

0:14:47.880 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 1>penalties and things that we we address in practice and

0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.560
<v Speaker 1>things that I if it happens in practice, I actually

0:14:53.560 --> 0:14:55.480
<v Speaker 1>stop it and we restart it and we do it again.

0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you just gotta be it's gotta be a

0:14:58.000 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>reinforced uh mindset mentality and um. You know with with

0:15:03.720 --> 0:15:05.920
<v Speaker 1>the snap counts, we do use a lot of multiple

0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.400
<v Speaker 1>snap counts. Uh, even in the silent cadence world. We

0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.200
<v Speaker 1>we do. We do a lot of things. We want

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to get indicators by the defense. We're asking Carson to

0:15:14.640 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>do some things in the run game, and and with

0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:19.000
<v Speaker 1>protections and a lot of you're getting a lot of

0:15:19.840 --> 0:15:22.320
<v Speaker 1>different looks from teams on third down, so we need

0:15:22.360 --> 0:15:25.040
<v Speaker 1>to utilize our snap count the team. The offense is

0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.960
<v Speaker 1>very aware of that. And and sometimes if there's a

0:15:27.960 --> 0:15:31.920
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a hesitation um in Carson's cadence. You know,

0:15:31.920 --> 0:15:34.560
<v Speaker 1>our tackles are set to to jump and and and

0:15:34.560 --> 0:15:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and to pass. Set and and it happened a little

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.640
<v Speaker 1>bit yesterday with with Alan and JP, and of course

0:15:39.800 --> 0:15:42.000
<v Speaker 1>Ertz had one and Isaac had one. As a tight end.

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.120
<v Speaker 1>We just can't, um, you know, we just can't. We

0:15:46.200 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 1>can't put ourselves in that in that in that situation.

0:15:49.480 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>And we'll continue to use the cadences. We got to

0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:57.040
<v Speaker 1>continue to work on it. Um. Kelsey and Carson are uh,

0:15:57.480 --> 0:16:03.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, um working every single day. They talk about it,

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.640
<v Speaker 1>even after practice, They sit in meetings, they watch tape together.

0:16:05.720 --> 0:16:09.080
<v Speaker 1>They understand it. And and we actually go into games

0:16:09.120 --> 0:16:12.560
<v Speaker 1>sort of detailing as far as you know, we want

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:14.520
<v Speaker 1>to use cadence on this play, this play, in this play,

0:16:14.600 --> 0:16:20.240
<v Speaker 1>as we Golson going to be active. If Jordan I

0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>was able to go, yes, so he can play one

0:16:24.200 --> 0:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>hundred percent of the snaps. Was he was? He was

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.120
<v Speaker 1>he still going to play that in that amount? Did

0:16:29.120 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you still vision? Yeah, because Jordan would have been more

0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:35.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, inside slot receiver if Jordan was healthy. You

0:16:35.320 --> 0:16:38.480
<v Speaker 1>watch when you watch the tape, can you honestly say

0:16:38.520 --> 0:16:40.400
<v Speaker 1>that every one of your players played hard? When you

0:16:40.440 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>see receivers open a rushing touchdown where nobody touched the rusher.

0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.240
<v Speaker 1>McCleod looked like he just stood there. And I don't

0:16:48.280 --> 0:16:50.520
<v Speaker 1>want to dime out players for you, but can you

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.360
<v Speaker 1>honestly say that everybody played hard when you watch that tape?

0:16:55.120 --> 0:16:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Not everybody? Not everybody? And that's the accountability that that

0:16:58.960 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>that I talk about. And you know I I I

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>hold coaches accountable for that. I hold myself accountable for

0:17:06.280 --> 0:17:08.439
<v Speaker 1>that because it all starts with me and I make

0:17:08.480 --> 0:17:10.680
<v Speaker 1>sure that I and I pride myself each week to

0:17:11.160 --> 0:17:13.280
<v Speaker 1>make sure the guys are ready to go. But at

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:17.199
<v Speaker 1>the same time, it's, uh, it comes down to you know, um,

0:17:18.240 --> 0:17:21.959
<v Speaker 1>it's a mentality by each individual player and uh, you know,

0:17:22.280 --> 0:17:24.399
<v Speaker 1>this is a business where where we have to be

0:17:24.440 --> 0:17:29.480
<v Speaker 1>ready to go um every single weekend because every team

0:17:29.520 --> 0:17:31.280
<v Speaker 1>in the league. I mean there's some teams that are

0:17:31.320 --> 0:17:34.320
<v Speaker 1>better than others, obviously, but for the most part, anything

0:17:34.320 --> 0:17:41.080
<v Speaker 1>can happen each weekend. It's like this, are you you

0:17:41.160 --> 0:17:43.520
<v Speaker 1>know they need this team needs to be loved up

0:17:43.600 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, you know, when they're down like this,

0:17:45.440 --> 0:17:48.280
<v Speaker 1>or you think it's time for two. I think it's both.

0:17:48.400 --> 0:17:50.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's both, and I think there's a I

0:17:50.760 --> 0:17:54.840
<v Speaker 1>think there's a a level of that tough love. There's

0:17:54.880 --> 0:17:57.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be that accountability that I was talking about. Um,
