Speaker 1: Down menu. We were on the correct hash mark and
Speaker 1: it was the right time of the game. Call it
Speaker 1: Philly Philly play. What did you learn about them? TONO
Speaker 1: A lot? Actually, UM the biggest thing again, UM just
Speaker 1: again no panic on the sideline. Resiliency, UM, toughness, you know, UM,
Speaker 1: hanging with each other through all the you know kind
Speaker 1: of the ups and downs, the ob and flow of
Speaker 1: the game, the mistakes, the penalties, UM turnover you know, UM,
Speaker 1: just the guys hanging hanging together. Again, there was no
Speaker 1: there was no panic tonight. And uh, you know credit, Uh,
Speaker 1: I tell you, the deciding factor in this football game
Speaker 1: to me was our defensive line and then our offensive line.
Speaker 1: How they controlled that line of scrimmage. That was That
Speaker 1: was a big part of this football game tonight. There
Speaker 1: a part of you when you called that play Philly
Speaker 1: Philly that it kind of saw. It seems the type
Speaker 1: of situation, like the soft that's in the building needed
Speaker 1: a spark and it was a good time for it.
Speaker 1: A little bit, you know, we'd we'd offensively was sort
Speaker 1: of you know, misfiring on a little bit you know,
Speaker 1: early in the game, first half in particular, and we
Speaker 1: came out in the second half, and you know, just
Speaker 1: same same type of thing, and just just we're looking
Speaker 1: for a big play, somebody to make a play, you know,
Speaker 1: and you kind of look for that from time to time,
Speaker 1: and again just felt like it was the right time
Speaker 1: to make that call, and uh, um guys executed it.
Speaker 1: Uh well, locally was appeared to be the exact same
Speaker 1: play in New England ran against you guys in the
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and successfully We're aware of that. That's where
Speaker 1: we got it from. We just we just put different
Speaker 1: people in the game. It was the difference. Yeah, and yeah,
Speaker 1: they were in eleven personnel I think, and we were
Speaker 1: in twelve. The red zone defense tonight, I think they
Speaker 1: had five trips and one touchdown. How important was that?
Speaker 1: What you said, again, it's probably probably the game, you know,
Speaker 1: the deciding factor of defense. Uh again, you know they
Speaker 1: got down there and bowed their neck and and uh
Speaker 1: made made several big I mean big stops, big stops
Speaker 1: for us, and and uh, you know, that's what it
Speaker 1: takes I think early in the season like this, until
Speaker 1: until your offense really kind of gets on track and
Speaker 1: and get going a little bit. I know, we got
Speaker 1: the run game going in the second half. We did
Speaker 1: hit some some passes in the second half, but I
Speaker 1: think that's what you need too, is uh. And that's
Speaker 1: why it's a great team sport. You need all three
Speaker 1: phases and defense. Um played extremely well tonight and it's
Speaker 1: unfortunate too. We could have had a couple of turnovers,
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of interceptions there, but UM red
Speaker 1: zone defense was outstanding. That pretty comfortable on the outside.
Speaker 1: I mean, is there any part of you, I guess
Speaker 1: that is it all still kind of marble at where
Speaker 1: he was and where he got to and now how
Speaker 1: you're able to use him within this offense and player
Speaker 1: he's become. Yeah, I'm really have been really impressed with
Speaker 1: Nelson and his work ethic and his drive and motivation
Speaker 1: to to really excel, you know only and at this level,
Speaker 1: but also with his craft being a skilled receiver and UM,
Speaker 1: it was evident tonight that our confidence and in my
Speaker 1: confidence in him is um unbelievables, extremely high. And being
Speaker 1: able to move him inside and outside now and and
Speaker 1: find find unique ways to get him the football. He's
Speaker 1: very explosive with the ball in his hand and UM,
Speaker 1: you know, just my hat's off to him. The way
Speaker 1: he's worked the last couple of seasons to put himself
Speaker 1: in this position, I think have three carries. Then you
Speaker 1: went to into the second half, why that this married? Well, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, we just again trying to trying to find
Speaker 1: a spark offensively, whether it be the runner, whether it
Speaker 1: be a run scheme, uh, the run, you know, the
Speaker 1: run fit, whatever it was, and we just couldn't find
Speaker 1: it in the second half. We made some adjustments at
Speaker 1: halftime and and uh, you know I made I made
Speaker 1: a conscious effort just to keep keep him in there
Speaker 1: on some of those runs. And he was running really hard,
Speaker 1: and obviously the touchdown late and the two point conversion
Speaker 1: were evident of his his ability to run the football,
Speaker 1: and just leaned down him little bit more and saying, now,
Speaker 1: is that your decision to keep the team in the
Speaker 1: locker room during the banner unveiling ceremony and what went
Speaker 1: into that, No, no, I was actually part of the
Speaker 1: whole you know, tribute. Both teams were going to be
Speaker 1: in the dressing room during that, and you know, for us,
Speaker 1: it was just a matter of just getting our guys,
Speaker 1: you know, prepared for the game without being on the field.
Speaker 1: We'll win through your mind at the end there when
Speaker 1: you stop him, there's a penalty you have to do
Speaker 1: it again, almost the same scenario as the playoff game last.
Speaker 1: I mean, that thought rolled through my head quite honestly.
Speaker 1: You know, here we are again one second to go
Speaker 1: and comes down to the final play the game. And hum, again,
Speaker 1: hats off to the defense. You know again a great,
Speaker 1: great red zone stop. Did it all night. Proud of
Speaker 1: those guys you know, and really kept kept our offense
Speaker 1: in this football game. And then then the offense got
Speaker 1: on track. But uh, great job for our defense. The
Speaker 1: conversation left between you and Nick at halftime to sort
Speaker 1: of recat or him and recalibrating the second Dame. We
Speaker 1: just you know, basically just had to make a couple
Speaker 1: of subtle run adjustments with with the run game and
Speaker 1: then with he and I just, uh, you know, I
Speaker 1: wanted to pick his brain and find out what he
Speaker 1: what he was comfortable with and with the game. But
Speaker 1: where we had left on the on the call sheet,
Speaker 1: you know, to go to and find find some things
Speaker 1: that that we could generate a you know a little
Speaker 1: bit of some offense with and um, he had some
Speaker 1: ideas and I had some ideas and we were comfortable
Speaker 1: with that and and uh just just had to you know,
Speaker 1: really kind of focus in on a little bit of
Speaker 1: quick throws. We got back to the run and then
Speaker 1: and then a couple of deep throws that we just
Speaker 1: missed on. But those were all plays that that he
Speaker 1: and I were comfortable, you know, in the second half
Speaker 1: with yeah, there more guys, is there a point where
Speaker 1: when you put your quarterback the passing lane? To walf
Speaker 1: because risky uh asked that one more time. Is there
Speaker 1: a point where when you put your quarterback out in
Speaker 1: the passing leagues? Too often it comes maybe a physical
Speaker 1: and risk or something that you want to think not
Speaker 1: doing kind of understanding question. You put your quarterback catching passes?
Speaker 1: Oh oh on that Philly Philly play, Um, I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, you got to make sure that defense is
Speaker 1: going to be a man coverage and they're not accounting
Speaker 1: for your quarterback. And um, it's a little calculated risk.
Speaker 1: You know, you're not going to do it every week,
Speaker 1: but but we felt like we had a great opportunity
Speaker 1: to do it. And um, he did a nice job
Speaker 1: of securing the catch and getting himself out of bounds.
Speaker 1: You're missing Maragos and l mc collins and some other guys.
Speaker 1: How big of a loss of those guys in terms
Speaker 1: of special teams, looks like you had some mistakes there tonight. Well,
Speaker 1: we had a few, you know, penalties there, But I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a result of personnel. I really felt
Speaker 1: like special teams overall did a nice job. Cam, you know,
Speaker 1: kicking the ball, Jake kicking the ball, and then our
Speaker 1: cover teams were good. We just got to clean up
Speaker 1: a couple of things, you know, after the play, after
Speaker 1: the whistle, things like that that uh you know, we
Speaker 1: got the we got the penalties on and and uh
Speaker 1: we do that. We'll be okay. But I thought special
Speaker 1: teams overall did did did a nice job. What's the
Speaker 1: name on your play sheet of the the past eighty
Speaker 1: three to four Philly, Philly. Yeah, yeah, it's not your
Speaker 1: favorite comblem. But before it came out before the game
Speaker 1: that Carson is out several weeks? Is that accurate? You
Speaker 1: know what? I have not seen I've seen it, but
Speaker 1: uh um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, you know, um, investigate
Speaker 1: that little bit more and and and see see where,
Speaker 1: where and why and when that came out but um,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to comment too much more on. Thanks
Speaker 1: for raving, Okay, all right,
