WEBVTT - Press Pass: Frank Reich

0:00:06.880 --> 0:00:09.719
<v Speaker 1>Frank looking at the film, Douget said right after the

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.119
<v Speaker 1>game that it was his Carson's best game. Would you

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:16.520
<v Speaker 1>think after watching him though, Carson played really well. Again,

0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.720
<v Speaker 1>he just stayed in control, was good on third down,

0:00:19.280 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, made a few chunk plays, made some plays

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>with his feet, just played a good overall game. Do

0:00:25.720 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>you see it growing just his ability to kind of

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>sense pressure on the back side. I just gotta see

0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:34.159
<v Speaker 1>more in the pocket. Yeah, I think you can definitely

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>see the experience coming more into play in the pocket

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.199
<v Speaker 1>in a lot of ways in some decision making. But

0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.479
<v Speaker 1>like you said, especially in the pocket, he's just had

0:00:42.479 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>a really good knack of making a few plays on

0:00:45.159 --> 0:00:47.440
<v Speaker 1>his feet. And then I think what we've also seen

0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:50.680
<v Speaker 1>is some of his natural athletic ability and strength, particularly

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.360
<v Speaker 1>in the last game, which I think we saw knew

0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.360
<v Speaker 1>it was there just a matter of time before it

0:00:56.400 --> 0:01:01.319
<v Speaker 1>came out. A quarterback like him that can extend plays.

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:03.800
<v Speaker 1>How important is it for his receivers to be a

0:01:03.800 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>little better at coming back to balls and things that

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>will come with time. Yeah, And one thing we do

0:01:10.600 --> 0:01:13.759
<v Speaker 1>in practice, you know, we're pretty fanatical in practice about

0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, not every play goes perfectly out of practice.

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:20.160
<v Speaker 1>So if there's a bad shotgun snap, for instance, in practice,

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 1>or if a play breaks down in practice, you know

0:01:22.800 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>he's moving so were those things always look like they're improvisation. Improvisation, um,

0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>But actually we try to practice some of those. You

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.720
<v Speaker 1>can't practice enough of them. But yeah, it's something that

0:01:35.760 --> 0:01:37.760
<v Speaker 1>comes with experience, as they get to see him and

0:01:37.800 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>trust his movement and that he still has good vision

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:43.320
<v Speaker 1>down the field. UM. I think that's always a work

0:01:43.319 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>in progress. Carson is so competitive. How most of time

0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:51.080
<v Speaker 1>you've been talking with him about sometimes you might hold

0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:52.800
<v Speaker 1>the ball a little bit too long and take another

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>host of the time you've been talking to him about

0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes you just have to throw it away

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and just really import another play. Timing and rhythm is

0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>a discussion on every play. You know, we're looking to

0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:04.920
<v Speaker 1>get it out quick. I do think Carson has a

0:02:04.960 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>good internal clock in his head. I mean, there are

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:10.040
<v Speaker 1>times when he can extend to play and he's waiting

0:02:10.040 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>and waiting and waiting. Um. But in the pocket, I

0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:14.520
<v Speaker 1>think his decision making is pretty good. I think he

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>has that good sense of timing and rhythm and wants

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>to get it out pretty quick. Isaac was up and

0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:23.440
<v Speaker 1>down in his first start against Green Bay. We'll just

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:26.800
<v Speaker 1>see from him this last game and see him it's

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>almost a little bit almost a little bit like what

0:02:29.280 --> 0:02:31.120
<v Speaker 1>you saw with V. You know when V kind of

0:02:31.160 --> 0:02:32.400
<v Speaker 1>came in and had an up and down for a

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:34.560
<v Speaker 1>start and then settled down. You could see Isaac settle,

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:40.000
<v Speaker 1>settled down and play pretty solid football. So there's no

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:43.920
<v Speaker 1>there's nothing that can substitute experience and getting in there

0:02:43.960 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>and playing. And there's nothing that can build confidence like playing,

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:49.760
<v Speaker 1>having a few good plays and building confidence one play

0:02:49.760 --> 0:02:51.600
<v Speaker 1>at a time. And when you're playing, you know a

0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>side of other guys and you got a little bit

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>of juice and the guy's got juice and you feel

0:02:57.440 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>that support and the practice goes well. I think they

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>are all things that build confidence. Banged up at running

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.480
<v Speaker 1>back now obviously, so an actious to see somebody like

0:03:06.600 --> 0:03:11.119
<v Speaker 1>Kenny on bartery and greeting Byron Marshall could do. Yeah, yeah,

0:03:11.120 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>it really really am. I mean, Kenyon we know has

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>playmaking ability. Uh you know, Byron. I'm not sure what

0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>action they'll see, but I can just tell you watching

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 1>scout team this whole year, probably if you took the

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 1>ten most eye popping wild plays on the field this year.

0:03:29.639 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Byron might have three or four of them. Um, where

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.000
<v Speaker 1>he's running scout team and he runs a route or

0:03:36.080 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he makes a cut against our defense that just goes WHOA,

0:03:39.680 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean that was and we'll look at each other

0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and say that was legit. I mean. So he's got

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>some explosiveness and elusiveness to him about Wendell in the

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>time that he had this series. And I think Wendell

0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>is love Windoll. I've said this from the start. He's

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>really got good aptitude in the run end pass game.

0:03:59.080 --> 0:04:01.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he's fear us. I think he runs hard.

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.240
<v Speaker 1>He's got good explosion through the whole, but yet good

0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>patience to the whole. So, um, you don't even know

0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.280
<v Speaker 1>he's out for the year. Still still thinking the arrows

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.040
<v Speaker 1>way up and very positive on him in this Beast game.

0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:14.200
<v Speaker 1>How important it is for receivers to be able to

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>drag their feet in bounds. Um, didn't go your way,

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:20.320
<v Speaker 1>went the Redskins way a few times. How do you

0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.160
<v Speaker 1>how do you work on that with receivers or is

0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:25.479
<v Speaker 1>that just something that's that's in hurry? Yeah, I mean

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:29.520
<v Speaker 1>you know everyone I think everyone does the boundary drill,

0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.240
<v Speaker 1>you know. I mean everyone's always working on it, you know,

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>by yourself, coaches do it, you do it by yourself. Um,

0:04:36.920 --> 0:04:39.160
<v Speaker 1>it's an instinct, but it's also something that can be

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>drilled you. You can't neglect it. Even as the season

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>goes on. You urden someone who obviously getting about the

0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 1>best games. It's this playing time that he continue to

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:54.040
<v Speaker 1>weeks and to stay at. Yeah, I mean, you know,

0:04:54.320 --> 0:04:57.720
<v Speaker 1>Trey has been pretty consistent. You know, it's the norm.

0:04:57.920 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>Season has been normal in that, you know, weeks go

0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.160
<v Speaker 1>and some guys come in and out of phase and

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.120
<v Speaker 1>they get the ball and then they don't get the ball.

0:05:04.160 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>But we've seen all the way from training camp and

0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:10.040
<v Speaker 1>before Treys a playmaker. Carson has a lot of confidence

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:13.640
<v Speaker 1>in Trey. Um, that's why he's on the field as

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.840
<v Speaker 1>much as he is. A lot of that is us

0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>as coaches and our quarterback having confidence in him. So

0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:24.040
<v Speaker 1>I would anticipate that'll continue. Nelson has responded Gas and

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>be happier with how Nelson's responded both these last two games.

0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>Just a mental toughness, positive attitude. Um, you know, even

0:05:32.080 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>the big play, you know, the interference call, you could

0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>just see a speed running by the guy that that

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.560
<v Speaker 1>was good to see um and again it just continues

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>to build that back, one play at a time. It

0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.039
<v Speaker 1>seems it's like they've swarmed the relationship over the last

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.840
<v Speaker 1>month and they've really kind of hit stride. What change there?

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.680
<v Speaker 1>It's just time. I mean, there's no you know, we

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:54.159
<v Speaker 1>always have to remind ourselves that it just takes time,

0:05:54.480 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>and we work hard. Everyone works a lot of hours.

0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:00.640
<v Speaker 1>There's a lot of extra time I put in by

0:06:00.680 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>those guys after practice, before practice, talking in meetings, but

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.160
<v Speaker 1>just getting out and doing it and building confidence doing

0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.080
<v Speaker 1>it means a lot. Put together a game plan, How

0:06:11.080 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>do you account for the uncertainty alone the offensive line

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>not really knowing what Brooks' situation is, Barber's got the hamstring.

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>How how do you account for that? You have to

0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:24.400
<v Speaker 1>account for it by just trusting. You can't play with

0:06:24.880 --> 0:06:27.039
<v Speaker 1>you can't play or think with one hand tied behind

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>your back. We have a great offensive line coach, and

0:06:30.080 --> 0:06:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Jeff Stoutlin and Eugene Who Eugene Chung who helped them.

0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:37.000
<v Speaker 1>We have a great group of offensive linements, so I

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.440
<v Speaker 1>think we have a lot of depth. I can honestly

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:42.800
<v Speaker 1>tell you that as we've sat around game planning, Yeah,

0:06:42.800 --> 0:06:44.800
<v Speaker 1>do we think do we think, hey, do we got

0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:46.760
<v Speaker 1>to give extra protection help? Do we got to chip

0:06:46.800 --> 0:06:48.800
<v Speaker 1>one side or do we got to help a guy

0:06:48.839 --> 0:06:51.720
<v Speaker 1>in protection with how question? Those thoughts go through your mind.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:55.119
<v Speaker 1>But we're never sitting up there on pins and needles thinking,

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:57.240
<v Speaker 1>oh we don't. I mean, we just have a lot

0:06:57.240 --> 0:06:59.479
<v Speaker 1>of confidence in the players that we have. So even

0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>the young guy has to get a chance to step in.

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.560
<v Speaker 1>They're proving why they're in the building, and um, I

0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:07.200
<v Speaker 1>think it's it's helping us build depth at that position.

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Isaac got right guard before Sunday's game or during the season.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm not exactly sure you know what the numbers or

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.720
<v Speaker 1>percentage would be, but you know, they pretty much rotate

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:22.520
<v Speaker 1>through there a lot of different places. Um, so Isaac's

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:24.240
<v Speaker 1>probably hit the guards and you know, a little bit

0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 1>of tackle, um, a little bit of center. You know,

0:07:27.600 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>Stout does a good job of rotating those guys all around.

0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.600
<v Speaker 1>Hilly Carson's is thrown too much that the guard has

0:07:33.640 --> 0:07:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to do. Is that is that hard to learn? For

0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.120
<v Speaker 1>like a repeat? I think it's more of a pain

0:07:38.160 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>in the neck. You know. I mean, you don't want

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>to be the guy that has to always reach over

0:07:41.160 --> 0:07:43.520
<v Speaker 1>and but you know, I think it's just a rhythm thing.

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:46.520
<v Speaker 1>It's you know, you got such a smart guy to

0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>your to your left in the center. You know he's

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.400
<v Speaker 1>going to communicate if you have to lose vision for

0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, Kelse is going to tell you what

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>to do. But I think it's more of a pain

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>than anything. Helly Carson's thrown too much. I know, some

0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.040
<v Speaker 1>games get away from you and he's got to throw

0:08:01.120 --> 0:08:03.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty or sixty times, but I mean he's outpace for

0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:05.800
<v Speaker 1>like six hundred and twenty passes. Do you think that's

0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>too high? You know? I mean I think at the

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:10.520
<v Speaker 1>end of the day, we go into every game plan.

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.240
<v Speaker 1>I know, when coach and I are sitting up there

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:14.680
<v Speaker 1>talking about the plan and the plan of attack in

0:08:14.760 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>the game, you know, you go in with the with

0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the idea that we're going to run at thirty to

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty five times a game. I mean, that's that's what

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>you want to do. But you have to go you

0:08:23.800 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>have to make the calls at the time that you

0:08:26.240 --> 0:08:28.760
<v Speaker 1>think are necessary to win the game. Everybody has a plan,

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.280
<v Speaker 1>as they say, until they get in a fight and

0:08:30.280 --> 0:08:33.439
<v Speaker 1>get hit around a few times in the perfect scenario,

0:08:33.600 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you want to throw that many passes at the

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:39.160
<v Speaker 1>end of the year. No, are there? You know? Are

0:08:39.200 --> 0:08:43.040
<v Speaker 1>there silver lining in silver linings in other ways? I'm

0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:46.320
<v Speaker 1>sure there are. There's no doubt that Carson is seeing

0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:48.679
<v Speaker 1>a lot. He's seeing a lot. He's seeing every kind

0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.200
<v Speaker 1>of pressure, he's seeing every kind of coverage. He's figuring

0:08:51.240 --> 0:08:53.520
<v Speaker 1>out what throws he can make, what throws he can't make,

0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>how he can improve here. Those are all good things

0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>that I think are going to help him in the

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:02.439
<v Speaker 1>long He's only a lot of hits, you know, and

0:09:02.760 --> 0:09:04.720
<v Speaker 1>when you when you do throw that much and you're

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>not running and defenses know that you're going to be

0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>throwing that the quarterback's going to get hit. Do you

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like he's you know that the tour related the

0:09:11.559 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 1>number of hits he's taken and how much he's thrown. Yeah,

0:09:14.559 --> 0:09:16.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean, just by it's just the law of averages.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, there's just the law of averages.

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:21.720
<v Speaker 1>I think as a percentage of past attempts, I can't

0:09:21.720 --> 0:09:23.480
<v Speaker 1>I looked at it a few weeks ago, where we

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>were ranked. I think we're okay. You know, I don't

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:27.960
<v Speaker 1>think we're in the top five or anything, but we're not.

0:09:28.480 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 1>Or maybe we're not in the top eight, but we're not.

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think we're in the bottom eight. Maybe that's

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:33.600
<v Speaker 1>changed in the last couple of weeks. I don't know,

0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.160
<v Speaker 1>but I think we're in an acceptable range considering the

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.160
<v Speaker 1>circumstances that we've had. Considering a young quarterback, he's done

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>a great job. I think the line's done a good job.

0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:45.480
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna take hits if you throw at forty fifty

0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>times in the game. Um, yeah, there is a correlation.

0:09:49.440 --> 0:09:52.520
<v Speaker 1>We want to minimize that as much as we can. Um.

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.600
<v Speaker 1>It's one of the hazards of playing in the position

0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and playing in a game where you get behind a

0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.839
<v Speaker 1>little bit and have to play to win. Because that's

0:09:58.880 --> 0:10:04.440
<v Speaker 1>what we're doing each week. Dylan Dylan works hard. You know,

0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:07.640
<v Speaker 1>all those guys. You know, that's like one of those

0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.439
<v Speaker 1>things if you could win a prize to say they

0:10:10.559 --> 0:10:13.720
<v Speaker 1>spend a day in the room of an offensive line,

0:10:14.120 --> 0:10:16.040
<v Speaker 1>a day with the offensive line, and just hang with

0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:18.760
<v Speaker 1>those guys for one day, sit in their meetings. It's

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 1>a really dynamic place. Those guys really push each other,

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.559
<v Speaker 1>they're pushed, they're coached very hard by Stout and Eugene.

0:10:25.880 --> 0:10:29.360
<v Speaker 1>I think they're very close knit. I think uh, I

0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>think those guys love coming to work every day. I

0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.559
<v Speaker 1>think they love what they do. I think they love

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:35.880
<v Speaker 1>who they do it with. And so Dylan is a

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>guy who's fit right in there. You can't help but

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.960
<v Speaker 1>get better when you're in that kind of an environment, right,
