WEBVTT - Press Pass: Doug Pederson

0:00:07.280 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>So that's a great thing, uh going into uh, going

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:13.640
<v Speaker 1>into this football game, I'm going to have happy no

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>weak go off and getting guys kind to the back

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:21.360
<v Speaker 1>to to see signs and yeah, the biggest thing, um well,

0:00:21.400 --> 0:00:23.279
<v Speaker 1>there's really a couple of things. One you you kind

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.160
<v Speaker 1>of want them to get away and get rest and

0:00:25.160 --> 0:00:27.800
<v Speaker 1>and and sort of get healthy, which I think they did,

0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>um a lot of times. They getting their football legs

0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>back a little bit. This week can be I'd be

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:34.839
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of a struggle. That's why I bring

0:00:34.920 --> 0:00:38.239
<v Speaker 1>them in and do some stuff on Monday and excuse me,

0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and get them get them refocused again mentally as well,

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:47.040
<v Speaker 1>and then and then just just reiterating to them that, um,

0:00:47.080 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's another really in my opinion, our season

0:00:51.000 --> 0:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>starts now, you know, and and and we've what we've

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>did already is great and we're in a good position,

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:58.920
<v Speaker 1>but but we need to we need to buckle down

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and prepare um as if this is week one and

0:01:02.360 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>go go one game at a time. Was arrested in

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Miami for counting still weapon. You know, obviously it's my messaging,

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>uh the week before is you know, be smart, be careful,

0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:19.920
<v Speaker 1>protect each other away from the building and obviously it

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>was away from here, and um, you know, guys have

0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 1>got to make better decisions when they're when they're away

0:01:26.480 --> 0:01:29.840
<v Speaker 1>from the building. And um, you know, it's unfortunate. It's

0:01:29.840 --> 0:01:32.119
<v Speaker 1>obviously outside of my hands. Now it's still a legal matter,

0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:36.520
<v Speaker 1>but um, you just gotta just gotta use your head,

0:01:36.560 --> 0:01:42.240
<v Speaker 1>be smart. No situations that he was carrying a loaded weapon.

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:45.840
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know why anybody would do that. Um,

0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously I don't. I don't know all the

0:01:51.920 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>circumstances around it. Um. And and you know it's obviously, ah,

0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>it's big. It's a big deal, you know, to do that.

0:02:02.120 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>And um obviously you know he hasn't registered from that standpoint.

0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:10.920
<v Speaker 1>He you know, listen, I have rifles and I like

0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>to hunt and do that same thing. But um, you know,

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>we just have to be smart. But it is it

0:02:15.840 --> 0:02:17.720
<v Speaker 1>is a little surprising that he that he carried it.

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:21.399
<v Speaker 1>Any any discipline coming down from the league, and will

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you uh discipline him for any of his actions until

0:02:25.120 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>until the whole you know, legal process you know, pans out.

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>Obviously from the league, they got to look at it

0:02:31.080 --> 0:02:33.120
<v Speaker 1>the same way I gotta look at it. Um, you

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.519
<v Speaker 1>know right now, nothing's been said. Um, and and and

0:02:36.639 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>we'll go forward as much like the Lane Johnson thing,

0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:41.240
<v Speaker 1>until we hear something further. Both those guys will play

0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>and and uh we go from there yesterday that you

0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 1>might use by time to be a tackle in place,

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.680
<v Speaker 1>but Johnson wants you if he does get suspended, is true.

0:02:52.160 --> 0:02:54.240
<v Speaker 1>It is true. It is true. It's something that we've uh,

0:02:55.480 --> 0:02:57.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, talking with coach Stotlin and and and watching

0:02:58.040 --> 0:03:00.920
<v Speaker 1>Big V closely, not only through preseason, but you know,

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>in in in practices these last couple of weeks. Um,

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, again, we want to exhaust all the possibilities.

0:03:07.720 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 1>And and you know, Alan Barbie has been playing great

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 1>at left guard. And if you if you don't have

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to disrupt two positions and just do one, I think,

0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's some conversation there that we got to have.

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>But but yeah, he's definitely definitely in the mix. Scott,

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:25.280
<v Speaker 1>about the first three weeks there one player where a

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>couple of players that really stood out as exceeding expectations. Um,

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, right right now, I just feel like as

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:35.400
<v Speaker 1>a group collectively, the offensive line has played has played

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>extremely well. They they've protected Carson. Uh, in in throwing

0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.320
<v Speaker 1>situations and obviously done a nice job in the run game.

0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:45.839
<v Speaker 1>So as a group collectively, I think that that group

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.119
<v Speaker 1>has stood out. And then you look at the defensive

0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:50.280
<v Speaker 1>side and the way they've created turnovers in the way

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:53.240
<v Speaker 1>our pass rush. Um. You know, it's one thing I

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:57.800
<v Speaker 1>challenge both both offense and defensive lines each week that

0:03:57.800 --> 0:04:00.360
<v Speaker 1>that's where that's where you win and lose football games,

0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>in my opinion, is up front, and those two groups

0:04:03.600 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 1>have really stood out. You know in these first three games.

0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Do you need to talk to Nigel at this point

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>or have you? Or are you just going to kind

0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.240
<v Speaker 1>of wait and see what happens. I'm gonna wait and see. Um.

0:04:13.280 --> 0:04:15.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, listen, he's been talked to by a lot

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>of people already and and um, um, he understands, And

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna wait and see what happens. And and

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.559
<v Speaker 1>uh um, you know, I'll keep talking to him like normal,

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:25.800
<v Speaker 1>all the guys and just keep reminding them that we

0:04:25.880 --> 0:04:27.880
<v Speaker 1>got to make got to make good, smart decisions away

0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>from the building. That now this is his second arrest

0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:34.440
<v Speaker 1>and in a few months ago. I mean, it's it's

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:39.240
<v Speaker 1>it's obviously a concern. Um you know again, it just

0:04:40.880 --> 0:04:43.920
<v Speaker 1>both of these were incidents. Is they're away from here,

0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and when they're they're out of your control that way.

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:49.400
<v Speaker 1>And and this is where guys need to, um, just

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:52.280
<v Speaker 1>be smart about it. There there there, it's their livelihood,

0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.320
<v Speaker 1>it's their families. Um. In everything that we do, it's

0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:59.200
<v Speaker 1>no different. You know if if I'm away from this building,

0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:00.880
<v Speaker 1>and then the things that i do as a as

0:05:00.920 --> 0:05:03.480
<v Speaker 1>a uh, when you're not the head football coach, you know,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.400
<v Speaker 1>and you're you're you're with your family. You just got

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>to make those smart choices and and um, you know

0:05:08.360 --> 0:05:10.520
<v Speaker 1>it's easier obviously when they're in town because you can

0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:13.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of control the environment a little bit and protect them.

0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>But but uh, you know they've got to they've got

0:05:16.600 --> 0:05:18.760
<v Speaker 1>to be a little smarter away from the building of

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a defensive he become to this team. I mean it

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>overshadowed by those things is kind of what he's done

0:05:23.960 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>on the fields, means he's played well, he's played well.

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>He's been one of the one of the you know,

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:32.360
<v Speaker 1>the bright spots on defense and uh, um you know, um,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 1>it's he's also had a had a role on special

0:05:36.400 --> 0:05:39.080
<v Speaker 1>teams and and you know when when when Ertz was down,

0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:40.479
<v Speaker 1>he kind of had to fill in a little bit

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on teams and and and and pick up the slack there.

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:45.960
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, he's been a he's been a valuable part

0:05:46.000 --> 0:05:48.640
<v Speaker 1>too to what we've done defensively and as a whole

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>as a team. Gelved as a head disappointed. Well, I

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:02.200
<v Speaker 1>mean again, it's to me, it's a fine line, um,

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.560
<v Speaker 1>because if if if I can talk to him, tell

0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.359
<v Speaker 1>I'm blue in the face, I'm tell I'm blue in

0:06:07.360 --> 0:06:10.440
<v Speaker 1>the face. And and you know I could, I could

0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:12.320
<v Speaker 1>sit him down, I could suspend him, I could do

0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:16.479
<v Speaker 1>a lot of different things. Um. But at the same time,

0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:19.159
<v Speaker 1>because it is a legal matter and you know the

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.960
<v Speaker 1>league could potentially step in in these situations. Um, until

0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>I get all the information, Um, we we go as

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 1>we go as business as usual, and I'll continue to

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:32.279
<v Speaker 1>talk and mentor these guys as as I've done all along.

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>Very highly of Carson's follas level. With him having a

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.880
<v Speaker 1>week off and his new found success and fame, how

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.200
<v Speaker 1>do you think he has handled things now coming back

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 1>and getting back in the floor. We'll find out, really,

0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:49.560
<v Speaker 1>we'll find out. Um. You know, he was in here

0:06:49.560 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>again this morning five thirty the quarterbacks, and he was

0:06:51.800 --> 0:06:55.440
<v Speaker 1>back on back on track, studying the Lions, and and um,

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>you know he's doing the same things. He came in,

0:06:57.400 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 1>had a good, good, good workout on Monday, and um,

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't seem to to bother him right now. We'll obviously,

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, as we go this week, well we'll see

0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>more and more, um and then ultimately on Sunday how

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>he plays. So you know, we just keep him focused,

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>We keep the main thing the main thing, and and uh,

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>get just get ready for the Lions each day. If

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>Brian Matthews is one hundred percent healthy, Um, will you

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>still use him as the Premier League back or would

0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:29.280
<v Speaker 1>you kind of gradually working back eas him back into

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>the rotation. Yeah, you know we're going to continue or

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue to use him like we've been. Um,

0:07:34.720 --> 0:07:36.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, the all four backs have really I played

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.160
<v Speaker 1>a played a big part in the success early. Obviously,

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Windale had a big game, you know against Pittsburgh the

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>other day, and um, you know Ryan is still our

0:07:45.400 --> 0:07:48.640
<v Speaker 1>our primary guy. He's our he's our go to guy. So, um,

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know he's one hundred percent and and and we

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.400
<v Speaker 1>go with Ryan and we mix the other guys in

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>according to according to play or game plan. So he's

0:07:56.480 --> 0:08:00.160
<v Speaker 1>all the way back, Doug from his side, Yes, yeah,

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>he's there. There's a little soreness still with him, you know,

0:08:02.880 --> 0:08:05.679
<v Speaker 1>with it with that ankle. Um. But but he worked

0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.360
<v Speaker 1>on Monday and looked good. So yeah, we go business

0:08:08.360 --> 0:08:11.600
<v Speaker 1>as usual bringing back I'm about thirty snaps and and

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:14.000
<v Speaker 1>go to the last two games. Where is he as

0:08:14.040 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>far as he grasped with this offense right now? And

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.560
<v Speaker 1>have you been pleased with what you've seen South partner. Yeah,

0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.880
<v Speaker 1>he's getting he's getting better, uh mentally. Uh. And and

0:08:23.280 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, Greg Lewis and I spoke last week and

0:08:26.040 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>wanted to actually increase his load even more and uh

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:31.200
<v Speaker 1>and give him a few more a few more plays

0:08:31.200 --> 0:08:34.520
<v Speaker 1>each week and put him in, uh, in more situations.

0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 1>And and he's done a nice job. He's really uh

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>grasped the offense and understood his role. Um. And and

0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:43.559
<v Speaker 1>you know we have things in the game plan each

0:08:43.559 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>week designed for him and and UM you know it's

0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>my job to um to call those plays and and

0:08:50.240 --> 0:08:52.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, UM put him in that situation. But yeah,

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:57.840
<v Speaker 1>he's he's right on track and doing doing well from

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.920
<v Speaker 1>him that he's given you compience where he can pass,

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>we come in and play right tackle and him, have

0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you been giving him reps with the first team offense

0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:07.800
<v Speaker 1>that increparation for that possibility of the second part. We

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>have not given him first team reps yet. Uh. He's

0:09:10.760 --> 0:09:14.080
<v Speaker 1>been going against our starting defensive line all of you know,

0:09:14.160 --> 0:09:16.559
<v Speaker 1>the regular season so far. So the work he's done,

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:21.800
<v Speaker 1>UM in that capacity against a good defensive line. UM,

0:09:21.840 --> 0:09:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, gives us confidence that if that if we

0:09:24.480 --> 0:09:27.120
<v Speaker 1>had to make that decision, we could we could do that, UM,

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and and not not bad an eye. UM. So just

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:32.240
<v Speaker 1>from that standpoint, and then and then going back and

0:09:32.280 --> 0:09:36.120
<v Speaker 1>evaluating even his preseason games and uh, looking at that

0:09:36.200 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>and where he is physically mentally, UM, puts him in

0:09:41.120 --> 0:09:43.839
<v Speaker 1>a good position to potentially be be that right tackle.

0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Was injury a factor and all that, No, not at all, um.

0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 1>And Isaac is healthy too now, so you know, UM,

0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:55.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a good thing to be in this position again. UM.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>But but the way it's the way it's sort of

0:09:58.080 --> 0:10:02.760
<v Speaker 1>working out. UM. You know, Isaac uh doesn't doesn't necessarily

0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>factor in with the way even the way Wiz has

0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:11.600
<v Speaker 1>been playing in some goal line situations, warrior. You just

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>stands out well. You know, I still think you know,

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I like watching Stafford play. I think he's uh, he's

0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:22.959
<v Speaker 1>a good quarterback. Um. Uh you know Golden Tate and

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, uh an Quon Bolden is a smart

0:10:26.360 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>veteran guy. Um, they've they've um it can be it

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>can be a situation where they get on a little

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.000
<v Speaker 1>bit of a role. Um it's hard for it's hard

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.120
<v Speaker 1>to stop them, you know, and in their run game

0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:44.199
<v Speaker 1>obviously with any team, becomes really important. Um. Defensively, very

0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:47.280
<v Speaker 1>similar style of defense, like like we we play, you know,

0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:49.280
<v Speaker 1>with those wide defensive ends, and and it's a it's

0:10:49.280 --> 0:10:51.520
<v Speaker 1>a get up the field, it's an attack mentality. And

0:10:52.440 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 1>the benefit to it is that we see it every

0:10:54.840 --> 0:10:57.760
<v Speaker 1>day in practice, so we're used to this style. But

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.959
<v Speaker 1>at the same time, they're they're uh they're aggressive and

0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:05.839
<v Speaker 1>uh um that you know, and it it's something you

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:10.080
<v Speaker 1>see from them every week. In fact, last week, I

0:11:10.120 --> 0:11:12.880
<v Speaker 1>mean they had they had chances to uh to potentially

0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.359
<v Speaker 1>win that football game and and uh being a better situation.

0:11:16.400 --> 0:11:19.920
<v Speaker 1>But um, you know, we've got we've got our work

0:11:19.920 --> 0:11:22.040
<v Speaker 1>cut out for us again and and we just got

0:11:22.040 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to work today. Smart, did you go through

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>started to see it started again? No? No, Um, you know,

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>UH asked him a couple of questions about crowd noise. Um,

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:44.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, for someone that's that's been there and things

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.560
<v Speaker 1>like that. But um, I haven't really you know, he's

0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 1>focused on our defense and getting them ready to play

0:11:50.679 --> 0:11:53.400
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, you know, so really haven't focused on that.

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.079
<v Speaker 1>Your film review, did you go back as far and

0:11:56.160 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>your film review, did you go back as far as

0:11:57.960 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>like Thanksgiving scheme? Thanks given a day game with the

0:12:01.760 --> 0:12:05.600
<v Speaker 1>Eagles and how they how they effectively? Uh watched a

0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:08.680
<v Speaker 1>few plays of it. Um Again, I told the team

0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:10.600
<v Speaker 1>this morning, you know, not to get caught up in

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.040
<v Speaker 1>that game. You know, we played him last year, The

0:12:13.120 --> 0:12:14.839
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs played him in London last year and it was

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.600
<v Speaker 1>a different outcome as well. I don't get caught up

0:12:17.600 --> 0:12:20.600
<v Speaker 1>in that. We're different, they're different this year. We just

0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:23.800
<v Speaker 1>gotta understand that this is our next game, you know,

0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>on our schedule and and uh, um, you know the

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:29.560
<v Speaker 1>best way to erase that memory is to is to

0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:33.680
<v Speaker 1>put together a good performance on Sunday. Tight ends what

0:12:33.840 --> 0:12:36.200
<v Speaker 1>is that in for your offense? And the options would

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:39.600
<v Speaker 1>play calling and packages yeah. You know, Um, in the

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:42.679
<v Speaker 1>first couple of games, you've noticed that Matt Tobin has

0:12:42.720 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>kind of taking the role of a tight end and

0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>this this way, it kind of gets back to what

0:12:49.720 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I envisioned us being early in the season, obviously in

0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>training camp, with three tight ends. Um, you know, I

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.320
<v Speaker 1>love using all three of our guys. I think I

0:12:57.320 --> 0:13:00.280
<v Speaker 1>think number one, I think Selk's playing extremely well. Trey

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Burton had has been playing consistently, and now now is

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>that getting back and what he did you know in

0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:09.120
<v Speaker 1>that Cleveland game. Um, really, it just kind of opens

0:13:09.200 --> 0:13:11.400
<v Speaker 1>up a few more things out of that package run

0:13:11.480 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 1>and pass for us, and and uh looking forward to

0:13:14.640 --> 0:13:16.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, this week and and and hopefully you know,

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:20.760
<v Speaker 1>future weeks with those with those three guys. If Lane

0:13:20.800 --> 0:13:23.920
<v Speaker 1>does get suspended, are you definitely gonna go vi tire

0:13:24.040 --> 0:13:25.760
<v Speaker 1>right tackle and leave Alan? Is that is that the

0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.679
<v Speaker 1>plan or is that just something youres It's something we're considering.

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:30.720
<v Speaker 1>We still have the original you know, like we talked

0:13:30.720 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>about before you move Alan out and possibly wiz you

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:36.160
<v Speaker 1>know it left. But um, I got to take in

0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.880
<v Speaker 1>all the information again. It's a situation where if I

0:13:38.920 --> 0:13:43.319
<v Speaker 1>can just tweak one spot and not two. Um, it

0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>could be better for us that way, same time those

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:54.200
<v Speaker 1>teams ducation I do, I do, and again, you know,

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:56.000
<v Speaker 1>it's just it's been that way. It's kind of a

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:58.960
<v Speaker 1>it's a strange deal. But uh, you know, week to

0:13:59.000 --> 0:14:01.319
<v Speaker 1>week we just we just go that route and and um,

0:14:02.160 --> 0:14:05.200
<v Speaker 1>uh you know Big v or Alan or whoever we

0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:09.160
<v Speaker 1>end up putting over there, excuse me. Um, you know

0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.120
<v Speaker 1>we'll be ready to go. But but right now it's

0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it's Lane Johnson and right right tack. He's gotten he's

0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:23.560
<v Speaker 1>gotten a little better each week. Um, there's still some

0:14:23.600 --> 0:14:26.400
<v Speaker 1>things on film that that uh that he can even

0:14:26.400 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>do better at and progressions and reads, but you know, um,

0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:33.200
<v Speaker 1>he's doing a better job with communication with with Kelsey

0:14:33.280 --> 0:14:37.520
<v Speaker 1>and and Mike points and protections and adjusting and and

0:14:37.520 --> 0:14:40.480
<v Speaker 1>and doing that. And then um, you know he's done.

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>He's done a great job of just protecting the football,

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:46.880
<v Speaker 1>which is obviously the ultimate goal. But um, yeah, he's he's,

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:49.400
<v Speaker 1>he's he's slowly each week getting better with more more

0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:52.560
<v Speaker 1>reps and more time. Any think the biggest thing you've

0:14:52.560 --> 0:15:00.560
<v Speaker 1>done to coach his dad to enables as he's you know,

0:15:00.640 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>I think I think just you come out of training

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.320
<v Speaker 1>camp with a volume of plays in your playbook that

0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:11.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, UM, you kind of go into the season

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:14.840
<v Speaker 1>using plays that we've got a lot of time invested in.

0:15:15.640 --> 0:15:19.520
<v Speaker 1>Players know him, the quarterbacks know him. And and obviously

0:15:19.640 --> 0:15:22.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, he missed, he missed some time there in preseason,

0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>and so I felt like it was important, uh game

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.840
<v Speaker 1>planning that we kept things very familiar to him, and

0:15:29.880 --> 0:15:33.120
<v Speaker 1>then utilizing his strengths, UM in the in these first

0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:37.920
<v Speaker 1>three games, and and UM it's it's obviously uh it's

0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:41.880
<v Speaker 1>been successful. UM. But at the same time, you know, UM,

0:15:41.920 --> 0:15:44.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to continue just to coach him up, coach

0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.160
<v Speaker 1>him hard, try to put him in the best possible situations,

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, on Sunday, UM, where he's not having to

0:15:51.160 --> 0:15:56.120
<v Speaker 1>hold the ball a long time. UM, utilize the run, game,

0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.600
<v Speaker 1>play action pass, all that stuff that that we've that

0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.200
<v Speaker 1>you've seen in the first three games. Just keep keep

0:16:01.240 --> 0:16:05.240
<v Speaker 1>that formula. Play great defense, play good special teams. UM,

0:16:05.440 --> 0:16:10.240
<v Speaker 1>protect the football, take away the football. UM so far

0:16:10.280 --> 0:16:12.880
<v Speaker 1>has been has been a good formula. Do a better

0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:15.680
<v Speaker 1>job of protecting himself. In the third game versus the

0:16:15.680 --> 0:16:19.520
<v Speaker 1>first two, well, UM, you know, he ran out of bounds,

0:16:19.920 --> 0:16:21.720
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times in that in that Pittsburgh game,

0:16:22.920 --> 0:16:25.360
<v Speaker 1>once on a scramble. The second one he obviously made

0:16:25.360 --> 0:16:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the great play to Darren, And you know, he's just

0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:31.080
<v Speaker 1>he's just seeing himself on film and understanding and then

0:16:31.120 --> 0:16:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and then really just watching watching around the NFL, just

0:16:35.120 --> 0:16:38.160
<v Speaker 1>watching highlights and clips and seeing you know, some of

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.080
<v Speaker 1>the quarterbacks that are that are being hurt or in

0:16:40.120 --> 0:16:42.840
<v Speaker 1>the pocket, which is going to happen others, you know,

0:16:43.520 --> 0:16:45.600
<v Speaker 1>whether they get out of bounds or slide or whatever.

0:16:45.640 --> 0:16:48.400
<v Speaker 1>He's seeing that sort of thing, you know, throughout the week.

0:16:48.520 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 1>So um, he learns not only from his mistakes, but

0:16:51.840 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 1>he also learns from from other other teams around the

0:16:54.520 --> 0:16:59.560
<v Speaker 1>league just by watching and observing, observing what they're doing.

0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:09.960
<v Speaker 1>Now to call many designer runs for him without giving

0:17:09.960 --> 0:17:17.560
<v Speaker 1>away the game plan, no, I'm not. Now it's weak

0:17:17.800 --> 0:17:20.040
<v Speaker 1>for us. It's our fourth game of the season, and

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.080
<v Speaker 1>obviously as a staff, we got to be extremely smart

0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 1>on how we handle that aspect of the game. Probably

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:31.199
<v Speaker 1>the deeper as you go into your regular season and

0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:34.399
<v Speaker 1>if you have a if you're in a position to

0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.760
<v Speaker 1>make the postseason, you might increase that a little bit.

0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:42.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, one of the things that I think defenses

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:48.040
<v Speaker 1>sometimes forget not I mean, I'm not saying they forget

0:17:48.080 --> 0:17:50.320
<v Speaker 1>it completely, but it's the quarterback and the ability to run.

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.000
<v Speaker 1>And I think that was an advantage to us in

0:17:53.080 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City with Alex Smith and his strength was the

0:17:55.320 --> 0:17:58.879
<v Speaker 1>ability to run the football, And as we got deeper

0:17:58.880 --> 0:18:01.240
<v Speaker 1>into the season, we dialed up a few more of

0:18:01.280 --> 0:18:04.800
<v Speaker 1>those h for him and and and I think it

0:18:04.840 --> 0:18:07.280
<v Speaker 1>could be the same type of formula with Carson. You know,

0:18:07.760 --> 0:18:09.560
<v Speaker 1>obviously you want to protect him and you want to

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.600
<v Speaker 1>get through a full sixteen game schedule, but I think

0:18:11.600 --> 0:18:17.600
<v Speaker 1>the deeper you go, you increase it a little bit more. Yes, yeah,

0:18:21.760 --> 0:18:27.760
<v Speaker 1>he's he's full. Yep, he's full. Yep. Yes, thanks guys,
