Speaker 1: Coach, congratulations, you got off to a good start, something
Speaker 1: that you haven't been able to do for a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. How important was that part of the game.
Speaker 1: I think it was everything to get a really good
Speaker 1: start in this football game. Um, you know, something we
Speaker 1: talk about each week, trying to trying to start fast,
Speaker 1: especially offensively. I think I think you know, early on defense,
Speaker 1: early part of the season, defense was doing extremely well
Speaker 1: three and out and getting the offense the ball. But
Speaker 1: tonight it was it was a credit to the defense
Speaker 1: stopping them getting a quick turnover obviously in that in
Speaker 1: that first quarter, offense turning around and putting some points
Speaker 1: on the board, and and uh, it was good to
Speaker 1: see that that. Uh, you know, the things we're talking
Speaker 1: about are sort of coming coming true. The offensive line
Speaker 1: seemed to have a real strong day, keeping the pressure
Speaker 1: off of Carson Wins again, something that you needed in
Speaker 1: this offense. How big was that for the win? It
Speaker 1: was big? Um. You know, it's it's a good it's
Speaker 1: a good front. You know, it's a big front, physical front,
Speaker 1: and of course with you know, with Vernon coming back,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was a challenge there as
Speaker 1: a pass rusher and Um, I thought the guys really
Speaker 1: battled hung in there, did a nice job, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he took a couple hits early and then
Speaker 1: we you know, I had to had to kind of
Speaker 1: rethink things and get some more quick passing and get
Speaker 1: the ball out of his hand a little bit more
Speaker 1: some RPO stuff and kind of help settle everybody into
Speaker 1: the game, and uh, then we were able to take
Speaker 1: off from there. Everybody's been talking about the run pass ratio.
Speaker 1: I think you threw it thirty six times, ran it
Speaker 1: thirty one times. Um, you're gonna hear a lot about that.
Speaker 1: Talk about that a little bit. Listen, anytime you're you're
Speaker 1: first and ten to you know, second down and six,
Speaker 1: five or four, because you're running the football and you're
Speaker 1: staying ahead of the change, you're not shooting yourself in
Speaker 1: a foot with a negative rush or a penalty. You
Speaker 1: can do more of that, and you can, you can
Speaker 1: you can run the ball a little bit more, and
Speaker 1: then and then being able to you know, and then
Speaker 1: even by scheme, you know, we were in our twelve personnel,
Speaker 1: they stayed nickel, they stayed you know, five dbs and
Speaker 1: gave us the ability to run the ball a little
Speaker 1: bit more towards a you know, against the smaller, smaller,
Speaker 1: you know, front, and so that helps a little bit.
Speaker 1: But anytime we can we can stay ahead of the
Speaker 1: change and be manageable on first down and do well there,
Speaker 1: whether it's play action pass, the run game quick passing,
Speaker 1: then then good things are gonna happens for it down
Speaker 1: the road. You're much better in the red zone tonight.
Speaker 1: Was that schematically or where things just executed better? Talk
Speaker 1: about your red zone? Yeah, you know, I think guys
Speaker 1: just executed better. As a sense of urgency. Obviously a
Speaker 1: short week, we we kind of you know, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's I'm kind of way back to some of
Speaker 1: the basic stuff we did out coming out of training
Speaker 1: camp and even some of the things we ran early
Speaker 1: in the season that we didn't call in games. We
Speaker 1: were able to put in a game plan like this,
Speaker 1: and um, so guys, guys have time on task, which
Speaker 1: is important to me that they um that they can
Speaker 1: they can have repeat plays and and and and do
Speaker 1: do well executing. So um, to credit to the players.
Speaker 1: You talk about the short week, but now tell me
Speaker 1: how you're going to handle this long week. It's almost
Speaker 1: like a mini buy and what will you do with this?
Speaker 1: You know, the players are gonna get some time, you know,
Speaker 1: to to to rest reflect. Um, you know, look look
Speaker 1: at the first six weeks of the season. Coaches will
Speaker 1: be in the office on Friday, you know, we'll have
Speaker 1: our injury players in getting treatment and all that, and
Speaker 1: then just kind of gear up. You know, we got
Speaker 1: another couple of weeks here, We got two weeks coming up,
Speaker 1: you know, the Panthers, and we go to London and
