WEBVTT - 1-on-1: Doug Pederson Post-Game November 11

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Probably joining US now head coach Doug Peterson and obviously

0:00:02.480 --> 0:00:05.640
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the buy. You guys were rested a lot,

0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot of energy this week, but obviously a small

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:10.399
<v Speaker 1>start on offense. Perfectly what happened. It's the one thing

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:14.320
<v Speaker 1>you guard against, um, and it's something that's uh, you

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:18.200
<v Speaker 1>know when when when you do have two weeks like that. Now,

0:00:18.520 --> 0:00:23.080
<v Speaker 1>sometimes sometimes that happens, and it's something that we talk

0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about during the week. You've actually had a really good

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>spirit of practices that find around. Um. You know, it

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>really felt comfortable coming into this game, and then and

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.080
<v Speaker 1>then things start kind of unraveling a little bit and

0:00:34.159 --> 0:00:36.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't finish drives and you know, we make too

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:40.440
<v Speaker 1>many mistakes. We you know, wen't tackle well and things

0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:43.919
<v Speaker 1>like that, and it's just I just would come pounds

0:00:44.240 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>throughout the game. Um, there's just too many mistakes, you know, contrusting.

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.000
<v Speaker 1>How do you handle the ebbs and flows of the

0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.880
<v Speaker 1>game like that? And what do you tell you guys

0:00:53.920 --> 0:00:56.160
<v Speaker 1>from if you stow it out the games then you're

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>at a deficit, but you have to continue to fight

0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>you back. Well, we we hung in there. I mean

0:01:01.240 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>we're only down three that we're down six, and you know,

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought maybe when we got that field goal right

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>there at sixty three, and then you know, we let

0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>up a couple of big players and though they're there

0:01:11.440 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>at the end of this thirteen three a half time,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's just we kind of got a little momentum.

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>We shut ourselves from what I probably say that at

0:01:21.240 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>all these time. But but at the same time, third

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:29.279
<v Speaker 1>down and fourth downs tails tell these football games, and

0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>that is it that we need to pride ourselves in.

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>And um, they were better at it than we were.

0:01:34.319 --> 0:01:36.560
<v Speaker 1>What is it about third downs? Because you were one

0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of a better team to the third downs last season

0:01:39.400 --> 0:01:41.919
<v Speaker 1>tonight not very good at third day. Yeah, third downs

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>just it becomes it's that situational aspect of the game

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:50.040
<v Speaker 1>that that that we spent a lot of time focusing

0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:53.440
<v Speaker 1>on and making sure every thing that we got the

0:01:53.480 --> 0:01:57.720
<v Speaker 1>red players and reputations. You know, it's it's it's a

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>total you know focus third to make it work. And

0:02:03.600 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>it's obviously different than persons like the defense is are

0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.760
<v Speaker 1>more aggressive. There's a usually blitch or pressure and cover

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:13.640
<v Speaker 1>those year. Yeah, play the more maio whatever it is.

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>So it has stuff. It has to be a sense

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:18.440
<v Speaker 1>of urgency for for us as an offense and even

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:22.079
<v Speaker 1>for a defense to either stay on the field or

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:25.359
<v Speaker 1>off the feeling defense. So your guys pride themselves and

0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.160
<v Speaker 1>stopping their roun on defensive for a Zekiel blowing the

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:31.000
<v Speaker 1>ars fifty yards cans very rare. You guys get punch

0:02:31.040 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to them out and punched in the mouse, so to speak.

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>And I feel after a while you just can't stop them.

0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, after a while, it feels it feels right

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>a way, you know, because it's a big, powerful guy

0:02:40.160 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and uh oh yes, yes, somefice one to snipe. But

0:02:44.560 --> 0:02:49.720
<v Speaker 1>you know that's the thing that you know each guy

0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:52.640
<v Speaker 1>on defense in the same way when you put the

0:02:52.680 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>ball on offense defense, it's strange, it's it's cool. You

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.079
<v Speaker 1>do whatever you can to try to get around that.

0:03:01.200 --> 0:03:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Um we fail to do that tonight and make you

0:03:05.200 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>man after contact little firs that open up. Yeah, this

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:15.160
<v Speaker 1>is obviously tough situations, your four and five. We have

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of tough road games out in the world's

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.960
<v Speaker 1>in LA. I'm with a number rope, But how do

0:03:20.040 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you gather this team back together to still make them

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>believe that they can still retain their goal? And when

0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>you will to tell you this. There they're they're first

0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>of all, we've got um and we've got four to

0:03:31.040 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the game for many Um, it's a very prideful move

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>and and and I trust those gals and these coaches

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.560
<v Speaker 1>for Locker Road to get the job done. And we

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>can't worry about you know, one seed, two, three, three,

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>You can't worry about that right now. You have to

0:03:45.960 --> 0:03:48.520
<v Speaker 1>focus in on one game at a time and uh,

0:03:49.320 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>make sure that we can do in the business. Yeah,

0:03:51.440 --> 0:03:55.600
<v Speaker 1>we got some some something really solid team ball, I

0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>think too. An am we at the NFCS and uh,

0:03:57.920 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>we're right there and thinking about even the four or five.

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.280
<v Speaker 1>So we handle our business down the stretch, UM and

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>see what happens. Appreciate your time. Thanks,
