Speaker 1: Frank looking at the film, Douget said right after the
Speaker 1: game that it was his Carson's best game. Would you
Speaker 1: think after watching him though, Carson played really well. Again,
Speaker 1: he just stayed in control, was good on third down,
Speaker 1: you know, made a few chunk plays, made some plays
Speaker 1: with his feet, just played a good overall game. Do
Speaker 1: you see it growing just his ability to kind of
Speaker 1: sense pressure on the back side. I just gotta see
Speaker 1: more in the pocket. Yeah, I think you can definitely
Speaker 1: see the experience coming more into play in the pocket
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways in some decision making. But
Speaker 1: like you said, especially in the pocket, he's just had
Speaker 1: a really good knack of making a few plays on
Speaker 1: his feet. And then I think what we've also seen
Speaker 1: is some of his natural athletic ability and strength, particularly
Speaker 1: in the last game, which I think we saw knew
Speaker 1: it was there just a matter of time before it
Speaker 1: came out. A quarterback like him that can extend plays.
Speaker 1: How important is it for his receivers to be a
Speaker 1: little better at coming back to balls and things that
Speaker 1: will come with time. Yeah, And one thing we do
Speaker 1: in practice, you know, we're pretty fanatical in practice about
Speaker 1: you know, not every play goes perfectly out of practice.
Speaker 1: So if there's a bad shotgun snap, for instance, in practice,
Speaker 1: or if a play breaks down in practice, you know
Speaker 1: he's moving so were those things always look like they're improvisation. Improvisation, um,
Speaker 1: But actually we try to practice some of those. You
Speaker 1: can't practice enough of them. But yeah, it's something that
Speaker 1: comes with experience, as they get to see him and
Speaker 1: trust his movement and that he still has good vision
Speaker 1: down the field. UM. I think that's always a work
Speaker 1: in progress. Carson is so competitive. How most of time
Speaker 1: you've been talking with him about sometimes you might hold
Speaker 1: the ball a little bit too long and take another
Speaker 1: host of the time you've been talking to him about
Speaker 1: you know, sometimes you just have to throw it away
Speaker 1: and just really import another play. Timing and rhythm is
Speaker 1: a discussion on every play. You know, we're looking to
Speaker 1: get it out quick. I do think Carson has a
Speaker 1: good internal clock in his head. I mean, there are
Speaker 1: times when he can extend to play and he's waiting
Speaker 1: and waiting and waiting. Um. But in the pocket, I
Speaker 1: think his decision making is pretty good. I think he
Speaker 1: has that good sense of timing and rhythm and wants
Speaker 1: to get it out pretty quick. Isaac was up and
Speaker 1: down in his first start against Green Bay. We'll just
Speaker 1: see from him this last game and see him it's
Speaker 1: almost a little bit almost a little bit like what
Speaker 1: you saw with V. You know when V kind of
Speaker 1: came in and had an up and down for a
Speaker 1: start and then settled down. You could see Isaac settle,
Speaker 1: settled down and play pretty solid football. So there's no
Speaker 1: there's nothing that can substitute experience and getting in there
Speaker 1: and playing. And there's nothing that can build confidence like playing,
Speaker 1: having a few good plays and building confidence one play
Speaker 1: at a time. And when you're playing, you know a
Speaker 1: side of other guys and you got a little bit
Speaker 1: of juice and the guy's got juice and you feel
Speaker 1: that support and the practice goes well. I think they
Speaker 1: are all things that build confidence. Banged up at running
Speaker 1: back now obviously, so an actious to see somebody like
Speaker 1: Kenny on bartery and greeting Byron Marshall could do. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: it really really am. I mean, Kenyon we know has
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. Uh you know, Byron. I'm not sure what
Speaker 1: action they'll see, but I can just tell you watching
Speaker 1: scout team this whole year, probably if you took the
Speaker 1: ten most eye popping wild plays on the field this year.
Speaker 1: Byron might have three or four of them. Um, where
Speaker 1: he's running scout team and he runs a route or
Speaker 1: he makes a cut against our defense that just goes WHOA,
Speaker 1: I mean that was and we'll look at each other
Speaker 1: and say that was legit. I mean. So he's got
Speaker 1: some explosiveness and elusiveness to him about Wendell in the
Speaker 1: time that he had this series. And I think Wendell
Speaker 1: is love Windoll. I've said this from the start. He's
Speaker 1: really got good aptitude in the run end pass game.
Speaker 1: I think he's fear us. I think he runs hard.
Speaker 1: He's got good explosion through the whole, but yet good
Speaker 1: patience to the whole. So, um, you don't even know
Speaker 1: he's out for the year. Still still thinking the arrows
Speaker 1: way up and very positive on him in this Beast game.
Speaker 1: How important it is for receivers to be able to
Speaker 1: drag their feet in bounds. Um, didn't go your way,
Speaker 1: went the Redskins way a few times. How do you
Speaker 1: how do you work on that with receivers or is
Speaker 1: that just something that's that's in hurry? Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you know everyone I think everyone does the boundary drill,
Speaker 1: you know. I mean everyone's always working on it, you know,
Speaker 1: by yourself, coaches do it, you do it by yourself. Um,
Speaker 1: it's an instinct, but it's also something that can be
Speaker 1: drilled you. You can't neglect it. Even as the season
Speaker 1: goes on. You urden someone who obviously getting about the
Speaker 1: best games. It's this playing time that he continue to
Speaker 1: weeks and to stay at. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: Trey has been pretty consistent. You know, it's the norm.
Speaker 1: Season has been normal in that, you know, weeks go
Speaker 1: and some guys come in and out of phase and
Speaker 1: they get the ball and then they don't get the ball.
Speaker 1: But we've seen all the way from training camp and
Speaker 1: before Treys a playmaker. Carson has a lot of confidence
Speaker 1: in Trey. Um, that's why he's on the field as
Speaker 1: much as he is. A lot of that is us
Speaker 1: as coaches and our quarterback having confidence in him. So
Speaker 1: I would anticipate that'll continue. Nelson has responded Gas and
Speaker 1: be happier with how Nelson's responded both these last two games.
Speaker 1: Just a mental toughness, positive attitude. Um, you know, even
Speaker 1: the big play, you know, the interference call, you could
Speaker 1: just see a speed running by the guy that that
Speaker 1: was good to see um and again it just continues
Speaker 1: to build that back, one play at a time. It
Speaker 1: seems it's like they've swarmed the relationship over the last
Speaker 1: month and they've really kind of hit stride. What change there?
Speaker 1: It's just time. I mean, there's no you know, we
Speaker 1: always have to remind ourselves that it just takes time,
Speaker 1: and we work hard. Everyone works a lot of hours.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of extra time I put in by
Speaker 1: those guys after practice, before practice, talking in meetings, but
Speaker 1: just getting out and doing it and building confidence doing
Speaker 1: it means a lot. Put together a game plan, How
Speaker 1: do you account for the uncertainty alone the offensive line
Speaker 1: not really knowing what Brooks' situation is, Barber's got the hamstring.
Speaker 1: How how do you account for that? You have to
Speaker 1: account for it by just trusting. You can't play with
Speaker 1: you can't play or think with one hand tied behind
Speaker 1: your back. We have a great offensive line coach, and
Speaker 1: Jeff Stoutlin and Eugene Who Eugene Chung who helped them.
Speaker 1: We have a great group of offensive linements, so I
Speaker 1: think we have a lot of depth. I can honestly
Speaker 1: tell you that as we've sat around game planning, Yeah,
Speaker 1: do we think do we think, hey, do we got
Speaker 1: to give extra protection help? Do we got to chip
Speaker 1: one side or do we got to help a guy
Speaker 1: in protection with how question? Those thoughts go through your mind.
Speaker 1: But we're never sitting up there on pins and needles thinking,
Speaker 1: oh we don't. I mean, we just have a lot
Speaker 1: of confidence in the players that we have. So even
Speaker 1: the young guy has to get a chance to step in.
Speaker 1: They're proving why they're in the building, and um, I
Speaker 1: think it's it's helping us build depth at that position.
Speaker 1: Isaac got right guard before Sunday's game or during the season.
Speaker 1: I'm not exactly sure you know what the numbers or
Speaker 1: percentage would be, but you know, they pretty much rotate
Speaker 1: through there a lot of different places. Um, so Isaac's
Speaker 1: probably hit the guards and you know, a little bit
Speaker 1: of tackle, um, a little bit of center. You know,
Speaker 1: Stout does a good job of rotating those guys all around.
Speaker 1: Hilly Carson's is thrown too much that the guard has
Speaker 1: to do. Is that is that hard to learn? For
Speaker 1: like a repeat? I think it's more of a pain
Speaker 1: in the neck. You know. I mean, you don't want
Speaker 1: to be the guy that has to always reach over
Speaker 1: and but you know, I think it's just a rhythm thing.
Speaker 1: It's you know, you got such a smart guy to
Speaker 1: your to your left in the center. You know he's
Speaker 1: going to communicate if you have to lose vision for
Speaker 1: a little bit, Kelse is going to tell you what
Speaker 1: to do. But I think it's more of a pain
Speaker 1: than anything. Helly Carson's thrown too much. I know, some
Speaker 1: games get away from you and he's got to throw
Speaker 1: fifty or sixty times, but I mean he's outpace for
Speaker 1: like six hundred and twenty passes. Do you think that's
Speaker 1: too high? You know? I mean I think at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, we go into every game plan.
Speaker 1: I know, when coach and I are sitting up there
Speaker 1: talking about the plan and the plan of attack in
Speaker 1: the game, you know, you go in with the with
Speaker 1: the idea that we're going to run at thirty to
Speaker 1: thirty five times a game. I mean, that's that's what
Speaker 1: you want to do. But you have to go you
Speaker 1: have to make the calls at the time that you
Speaker 1: think are necessary to win the game. Everybody has a plan,
Speaker 1: as they say, until they get in a fight and
Speaker 1: get hit around a few times in the perfect scenario,
Speaker 1: Do you want to throw that many passes at the
Speaker 1: end of the year. No, are there? You know? Are
Speaker 1: there silver lining in silver linings in other ways? I'm
Speaker 1: sure there are. There's no doubt that Carson is seeing
Speaker 1: a lot. He's seeing a lot. He's seeing every kind
Speaker 1: of pressure, he's seeing every kind of coverage. He's figuring
Speaker 1: out what throws he can make, what throws he can't make,
Speaker 1: how he can improve here. Those are all good things
Speaker 1: that I think are going to help him in the
Speaker 1: long He's only a lot of hits, you know, and
Speaker 1: when you when you do throw that much and you're
Speaker 1: not running and defenses know that you're going to be
Speaker 1: throwing that the quarterback's going to get hit. Do you
Speaker 1: feel like he's you know that the tour related the
Speaker 1: number of hits he's taken and how much he's thrown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, just by it's just the law of averages.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, there's just the law of averages.
Speaker 1: I think as a percentage of past attempts, I can't
Speaker 1: I looked at it a few weeks ago, where we
Speaker 1: were ranked. I think we're okay. You know, I don't
Speaker 1: think we're in the top five or anything, but we're not.
Speaker 1: Or maybe we're not in the top eight, but we're not.
Speaker 1: I don't think we're in the bottom eight. Maybe that's
Speaker 1: changed in the last couple of weeks. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I think we're in an acceptable range considering the
Speaker 1: circumstances that we've had. Considering a young quarterback, he's done
Speaker 1: a great job. I think the line's done a good job.
Speaker 1: You're gonna take hits if you throw at forty fifty
Speaker 1: times in the game. Um, yeah, there is a correlation.
Speaker 1: We want to minimize that as much as we can. Um.
Speaker 1: It's one of the hazards of playing in the position
Speaker 1: and playing in a game where you get behind a
Speaker 1: little bit and have to play to win. Because that's
Speaker 1: what we're doing each week. Dylan Dylan works hard. You know,
Speaker 1: all those guys. You know, that's like one of those
Speaker 1: things if you could win a prize to say they
Speaker 1: spend a day in the room of an offensive line,
Speaker 1: a day with the offensive line, and just hang with
Speaker 1: those guys for one day, sit in their meetings. It's
Speaker 1: a really dynamic place. Those guys really push each other,
Speaker 1: they're pushed, they're coached very hard by Stout and Eugene.
Speaker 1: I think they're very close knit. I think uh, I
Speaker 1: think those guys love coming to work every day. I
Speaker 1: think they love what they do. I think they love
Speaker 1: who they do it with. And so Dylan is a
Speaker 1: guy who's fit right in there. You can't help but
Speaker 1: get better when you're in that kind of an environment, right,
