<v Speaker 1>our practice on Wednesday coming up, won't practice Wednesday. Well, well,

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.760
<v Speaker 1>they're both day to day. Michael Kendricks had just a

0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>rib contusion against same thing, will hold him out on

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>Wednesday's practice. Marcus Smith has a right growing strain. UM,

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>should be fine. We'll just hold him on Wednesday. And

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>then Benny Logan his left growing strain. His is a

0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:02.520
<v Speaker 1>little more significant. UM, probably a week to week UH

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>deal injury with with Benny, and but we'll keep monitoring

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:11.800
<v Speaker 1>that every every day. Brian Brayman, Jordan Matthews, Leo and

0:01:11.959 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 1>Rodney McLeod. Rodney got a right ac shoulder sprain in

0:01:15.280 --> 0:01:16.840
<v Speaker 1>this game. But both of those are all four of

0:01:16.840 --> 0:01:22.160
<v Speaker 1>those guys will be good U to practice on on Wednesday. Coach,

0:01:22.240 --> 0:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>you can get Leo's back, but then now you have

0:01:24.680 --> 0:01:27.720
<v Speaker 1>another injury to another quarterback. At some point you're gonna

0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.959
<v Speaker 1>have to change with you two on game day. Have

0:01:30.040 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 1>more quarterbacks up. Well, you know, we we brought up

0:01:33.640 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>a CJ last week obviously to the active but um,

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you know this is this is the National Football League,

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and with with the limited roster side that you have,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:44.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean this is it's a nature. That's the nature

0:01:44.280 --> 0:01:46.280
<v Speaker 1>of the business. And uh, you know, injuries are going

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to happen. We just got to uh make sure our

0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:51.680
<v Speaker 1>guys are healthy and fresh. But we have, um, we

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 1>have combinations of guys that obviously we we've worked throughout

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>camp and first part of the season. So um, you

0:01:58.240 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>know we'll attack it. We'll at act again this week.

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>After the game, you kind of indicated that Big v

0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>will be your right tackle against the Vikings. But after

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>watching the film, is he is he going to start

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:14.080
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday against the Viking? Yes? What you think of

0:02:14.120 --> 0:02:19.400
<v Speaker 1>me hot in that, Doug, You know, you look at

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:21.480
<v Speaker 1>it from a certain perspective. Then you get a chance

0:02:21.560 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>to come in today and watch it again, um and

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh you get a different perspective. Felt like he

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:35.160
<v Speaker 1>slow start, but really settled in nicely, um throughout the game.

0:02:35.200 --> 0:02:37.959
<v Speaker 1>And listen, there were was it perfect? Was it pretty? No?

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Were their assignment errors? Yes? And you know, I'm not

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:44.880
<v Speaker 1>going to stand here and point the finger at at

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:48.480
<v Speaker 1>Big V because that's not what happened. There's enough mistakes

0:02:48.560 --> 0:02:51.520
<v Speaker 1>all around in this football game that that cost us

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:56.440
<v Speaker 1>this game. And you know, uh, but I thought as

0:02:56.480 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>the game progressed, he settled in nicely. And and it's

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.800
<v Speaker 1>a good thing you can take with a you know,

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a rookie quarterback back there and an inexperienced right tackle

0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>when you have other options. In fact, you thought the

0:03:09.960 --> 0:03:12.040
<v Speaker 1>summer that the best option was to have Alan out

0:03:12.040 --> 0:03:16.000
<v Speaker 1>there with Wiznowski at guard. Two veterans, um, and now

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:18.799
<v Speaker 1>you have a rookie that's in charge of protecting a

0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:21.440
<v Speaker 1>very valuable piece for you. Listen, there's there's a risk

0:03:21.520 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 1>every time they take the field. I'm just you know,

0:03:25.680 --> 0:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>playing and simple. Every time we take the field, there's

0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>a risk. And regardless of whether it be a rookie

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:35.640
<v Speaker 1>or a veteran out there playing, Um, I can't get

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>caught up in that. I'm not gonna necessarily worry about

0:03:38.200 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>that as much as my focus is to get V

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:43.280
<v Speaker 1>ready to go and listen, he'll be a lot better

0:03:43.320 --> 0:03:48.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. He's now got a full game under his belt. Um,

0:03:48.240 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>and and that's valuable experience that he can learn from

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:55.839
<v Speaker 1>going into this week of time. Think your first team

0:03:56.440 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>at centered on with yeah be with he'll be with

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>concern about Elsy missess Sunday No, yeah, yeah be you

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.640
<v Speaker 1>consider the best option right tackle. That's the best scenario

0:04:10.680 --> 0:04:13.960
<v Speaker 1>for right now. Where is the idea of developing him

0:04:14.000 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>and getting an experience and he can be a better

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:23.280
<v Speaker 1>player down the road. A bigger part of this is

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>he he gives us the best opportunity to win right now,

0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>and he's he is our backup right tackle right now. Um.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.599
<v Speaker 1>Therefore he's he's going to play and he's gonna he's

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:43.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna gain valuable experience weekend and week out. Tackle is

0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:51.080
<v Speaker 1>better than the world has, harb. Yes, yes, you set

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the four that you know world like to kind of do.

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.360
<v Speaker 1>It is all taken the defense. He would only kind

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.760
<v Speaker 1>of intervene if you saw something he didn't like. If

0:04:57.760 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>you reach that point, No, Um, there's no panic by

0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 1>no no stretch with you mad, no panic whatsoever. Uh

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:08.640
<v Speaker 1>talked to Jim this morning. We kind of went through it,

0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and I watched the watch the defensive side of the

0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>ball and and listen, it's it just comes down to

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>players making plays. And and um, you know it's um

0:05:20.640 --> 0:05:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the guys are disappointed. The players are disappointed. They know, uh,

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:27.080
<v Speaker 1>they know how they played and they they they felt

0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>it after the game. And the guys that have been

0:05:28.640 --> 0:05:33.600
<v Speaker 1>here already this morning, UM no, and and uh it's

0:05:33.640 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 1>just ownership. But uh by no means um will will

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 1>have I or will I at this point, you know,

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.719
<v Speaker 1>make any any decisions on that side of the ball

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>right now? You know Dougan knock and going with big

0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>V over the double move of having Barber's sprint outside

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>and whiz which one concerns you more in this In

0:05:53.320 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that double move, is it moving Barber to the right

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>tackle or is it putting wiz Newski in a left yea?

0:05:58.600 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Because Barber right now, you know he's been playing really

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.480
<v Speaker 1>well at left guard and uh, um, you know it's

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>a whole new position going from left guard to right tackle.

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.479
<v Speaker 1>You're out there on an island. And uh, um, it's

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.880
<v Speaker 1>just making a double switch like that, Um is tough

0:06:13.920 --> 0:06:16.599
<v Speaker 1>even though it is two veteran players. That's a tough switch.

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, we did things in this football

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>game to to help whether it be sliding protections or

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:24.800
<v Speaker 1>chips or whatever we needed to do, uh to help him.

0:06:24.839 --> 0:06:27.320
<v Speaker 1>And we'll continue to monitor that as we go, as

0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>we put game plans together in these these next couple

0:06:29.440 --> 0:06:34.080
<v Speaker 1>of weeks. You enough defense. Two hundred and thirty yards

0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>rushing your front seven is supposed to be the strength

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:40.560
<v Speaker 1>of your team. It looked like it was just physically manhandle.

0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:43.239
<v Speaker 1>Why does that happen? Yeah, I mean I would agree,

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.400
<v Speaker 1>I would agree that. Uh, you know, we got our

0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>tail kicked up front this this this game. I mean

0:06:47.880 --> 0:06:51.000
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a that's an obvious and uh, it's uh,

0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:52.719
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a pride thing. It comes down to

0:06:52.760 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>each man, you know, taking ownership in their in their

0:06:55.480 --> 0:06:58.960
<v Speaker 1>jobs and their assignments. Um. As coaches, we got to

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 1>make sure our players in their right positions to make plays.

0:07:02.360 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>And at the end of the day, you know, um,

0:07:05.720 --> 0:07:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's it's each man, each man to himself collectively, and

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>then as a group, you know, coming together and making

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:17.320
<v Speaker 1>making plays. It it's surprising that that you know, a

0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.360
<v Speaker 1>team could could run the ball for for that many

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>yards against us with with the way we play an

0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.680
<v Speaker 1>attack on defense. But at the same time, I will

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:29.680
<v Speaker 1>give the Redskins credit for um getting after us upfront.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Really on both sides of the both sides of the

0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>line scrimmage, that doug your offensive, your front flour a

0:07:35.840 --> 0:07:39.120
<v Speaker 1>linement leaves more natural gaps or wider natural gaps, and

0:07:39.160 --> 0:07:41.280
<v Speaker 1>a line of it falls on linebackers to be aggressive.

0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>Is that where you're You saw some of the failing

0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and in that second line. Sometimes linebackers get caught, you know,

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:50.400
<v Speaker 1>behind blocks. Sometimes we don't get the penetration we need

0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:53.120
<v Speaker 1>up front. Um, guys begin to two gaps just a

0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.240
<v Speaker 1>little bit more than what what gym teaches and and uh,

0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:58.720
<v Speaker 1>you know coach Wilson and you know, we pride ourselves

0:07:58.760 --> 0:08:01.680
<v Speaker 1>on getting up field. That's where you can disrupt blocks

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:04.120
<v Speaker 1>is by getting up field, and it creates space for

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>your linebackers to come downhill and flow. And when that's

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>not syncd up all the time, that's where you can

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.119
<v Speaker 1>get behind blocks and that's where your your big running

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 1>lanes can come from. Before this game, the way the

0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.280
<v Speaker 1>offense is being able to hold the ball like the

0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.680
<v Speaker 1>time of possession. That's kind of masks some of the

0:08:21.320 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, problems on defense and go, well, we we've

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.600
<v Speaker 1>got our own set of issues, you know, obviously on offense,

0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.400
<v Speaker 1>and we've got you know, you look at this football

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>game too, and it comes down to penalties and third down,

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:35.640
<v Speaker 1>which it did almost a week ago. Um. You know,

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>we average our average third down distance was third and

0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>ten in this football game, and uh, it's tough to overcome.

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:46.680
<v Speaker 1>And penalties, uh set us back on first or second

0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>down and gave us some longer situations. So you know,

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:52.959
<v Speaker 1>we've got to clean that up offensively because then collectively

0:08:53.000 --> 0:08:56.440
<v Speaker 1>that handles um the time of possession and the fact

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.160
<v Speaker 1>that we can stay on the field and then keep

0:08:58.200 --> 0:09:00.880
<v Speaker 1>our defense and keep them fresh and died. And in

0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the last couple of weeks offensively, we haven't been able

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>to do that. Why why it seems right after the

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.920
<v Speaker 1>body I mean you you guys were getting lauded by

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:15.880
<v Speaker 1>the national but you carly that number one and the

0:09:16.000 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>number two already are you sating? Okay, every body, No,

0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm not gonna I'm not gonna, you know, um change

0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>anything that way. I think it just you know, it

0:09:30.720 --> 0:09:34.480
<v Speaker 1>just comes down to the communication from from me to

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:40.000
<v Speaker 1>the team to the staff. UM. Disciplining, disciplining ourselves in practice,

0:09:40.760 --> 0:09:43.640
<v Speaker 1>focusing on the little things. Little things will take care

0:09:43.679 --> 0:09:47.360
<v Speaker 1>of big things. Um. And those are all those are

0:09:47.360 --> 0:09:49.760
<v Speaker 1>all part of the game. And again, the players know,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.240
<v Speaker 1>the coaches know. You know, we can't we can't keep

0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>keep putting ourselves in these situations and and UM, you

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.439
<v Speaker 1>know it's unfortunate, um that that is happening right now,

0:09:59.440 --> 0:10:01.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's something we have to address and clean up.

0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 1>When you guys give up twenty one point in the

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:06.200
<v Speaker 1>first half of back to back weeks, what does that

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.559
<v Speaker 1>say about just the guys being ready to play? But

0:10:08.679 --> 0:10:10.640
<v Speaker 1>you think that's an issue that they just haven't been

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:12.920
<v Speaker 1>kind of ready on both sides of the ball early

0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:18.720
<v Speaker 1>in games. Well, you know this game, Um, the guys

0:10:18.760 --> 0:10:23.680
<v Speaker 1>came out, they came out ready. You know, Washington, you

0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:28.120
<v Speaker 1>know punts early. Of course, we punted early, and then

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>you know they put a drive together. We had we

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:32.920
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of penalties in there that kept some

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.640
<v Speaker 1>drives going. I know, Kirk Cousins scrambled on one that

0:10:35.760 --> 0:10:38.800
<v Speaker 1>gave them a first down, things of that nature. And

0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>then then the defense steps up, you get to pick six,

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.079
<v Speaker 1>you have the kickoff return. You're right back in the

0:10:44.120 --> 0:10:48.040
<v Speaker 1>football game at fourteen fourteen, and you're looking for that

0:10:48.080 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>one spark. And you know, we were hoping at that

0:10:52.600 --> 0:10:54.120
<v Speaker 1>time that that was going to be our spark. And

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>then off offensively, we've got to do more offensively to

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.840
<v Speaker 1>stay on the field and to keep our defense off

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:03.720
<v Speaker 1>the field. That's what we saw in the first three games.

0:11:03.760 --> 0:11:06.720
<v Speaker 1>We were able to control the ball not only you know, plays,

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:09.960
<v Speaker 1>but at the time of possession. So, uh, it works,

0:11:10.280 --> 0:11:13.600
<v Speaker 1>as the beauty of football, it works. All three phases

0:11:13.640 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>have to be in sync for this thing to happen. Well,

0:11:21.000 --> 0:11:26.319
<v Speaker 1>he had opportunities yesterday. Um, you know, uh yeah, Well,

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:32.080
<v Speaker 1>and you know, listen, Um, there were plays designed you know,

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:36.280
<v Speaker 1>not necessarily with him being the first progression, but there

0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.040
<v Speaker 1>were there were plays where where Carson, you know, based

0:11:39.040 --> 0:11:41.080
<v Speaker 1>on the progression the read could have could have thrown

0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.520
<v Speaker 1>him the ball a couple of times. Um. And and

0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got one football and you know, we

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.080
<v Speaker 1>asked Carson to go through his read and if he's

0:11:50.080 --> 0:11:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the guy, he's the guy. But but he is a

0:11:52.440 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>big part of the offense. And then we got to

0:11:54.160 --> 0:11:56.280
<v Speaker 1>continue and I've got to continue with with Frank and

0:11:56.280 --> 0:11:59.040
<v Speaker 1>the guys to still figure out and find ways to

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.440
<v Speaker 1>get him, get him and get him, get him the ball.

0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Actually specificularly the class who sat that, what would you

0:12:08.080 --> 0:12:11.440
<v Speaker 1>like to see in that situation? Well, on the second

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:14.760
<v Speaker 1>and six, Um, you know, again, that was a that

0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:17.040
<v Speaker 1>was a play designed to to to get the ball

0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.320
<v Speaker 1>down the field. He had an opportunity. Again, zach Ertz

0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.920
<v Speaker 1>was the guy underneath, you know. And that's the that's

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.200
<v Speaker 1>the thing about just understanding situational football. These are the

0:12:25.280 --> 0:12:29.200
<v Speaker 1>things with young quarterbacks sometimes you kind of lose lose

0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sight of in the heat of the battle. Um, and

0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>and and Carson understands that, and he knows that, and

0:12:36.160 --> 0:12:37.880
<v Speaker 1>and then on the last one, you just you just

0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:39.839
<v Speaker 1>can't put yourself in that situation. You know, it was

0:12:40.080 --> 0:12:42.720
<v Speaker 1>it was a two d man coverage and and uh,

0:12:42.760 --> 0:12:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, he had opportunity, he didn't have to slide

0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>and move into pocket. But at the same time, UM,

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:51.880
<v Speaker 1>in those situations, knowing again the situation and the coverage us,

0:12:51.960 --> 0:12:56.960
<v Speaker 1>you should expect, Um and we should expect that the

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.280
<v Speaker 1>ball has got to come out of your hand because

0:12:58.320 --> 0:13:00.000
<v Speaker 1>if we complete the ball on the third and law

0:13:00.800 --> 0:13:02.440
<v Speaker 1>then it gives us an opportunity to go for it

0:13:02.440 --> 0:13:04.439
<v Speaker 1>on fourth down and not have to punt the ball back.

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:12.160
<v Speaker 1>I did. People want to focus on many other problems.

0:13:12.360 --> 0:13:15.120
<v Speaker 1>If you have the problems, and how much time do

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 1>we have? I mean, listen, this is this wasn't a

0:13:18.559 --> 0:13:21.280
<v Speaker 1>perfect football game. It's not a perfect football game. We

0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 1>made enough mistakes on offense to to to keep ourselves

0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.360
<v Speaker 1>and we kept ourselves out of the end zone. You know, uh,

0:13:27.480 --> 0:13:29.920
<v Speaker 1>two field goals is not good enough to win. And

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>and you know there's enough, there's enough to go around everybody,

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.360
<v Speaker 1>and me included that, uh. Um, And I beat myself

0:13:39.440 --> 0:13:41.600
<v Speaker 1>up all the time. As far as am I putting

0:13:41.600 --> 0:13:43.439
<v Speaker 1>the am I making the right calls? Am I putting

0:13:43.440 --> 0:13:46.000
<v Speaker 1>the guys in the right situations by play, call, by design?

0:13:46.440 --> 0:13:48.360
<v Speaker 1>Am I helping if I need to have help? And

0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:50.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, so I beat myself up to and and

0:13:51.040 --> 0:13:52.839
<v Speaker 1>it starts with me because I'm the one calling the game.

0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:58.240
<v Speaker 1>So you know, but there's enough mistakes, Yeah, I mean

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:02.240
<v Speaker 1>there's there's there's problems, uh, and and issues that we

0:14:02.320 --> 0:14:08.679
<v Speaker 1>have to address. Um with everybody play chip offal upsiders,

0:14:09.800 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>you've seen the same level of players from Jason, but

0:14:13.080 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 1>you can see yeah, and you know, um, he'll come

0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.160
<v Speaker 1>in and he'll tell you that probably wasn't his perfect,

0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:23.320
<v Speaker 1>wasn't his best yesterday. UM. And and you know, again,

0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:26.280
<v Speaker 1>you're on the road, you get two wide good rush

0:14:26.640 --> 0:14:28.840
<v Speaker 1>d ns and and you do everything you can to

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:30.680
<v Speaker 1>chip both edges. I was kind of the m O

0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:34.720
<v Speaker 1>going in on on in those situations. And um again

0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it's it's something that it comes down to each man,

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, just doing their job, doing their assignment. That's

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of been my message throughout camp and throughout the

0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>early part of the season. And and uh just making

0:14:47.480 --> 0:14:50.640
<v Speaker 1>sure that we uh um as coaches have our players

0:14:50.680 --> 0:14:55.960
<v Speaker 1>ready to go and and detail their assignments. Fight end

0:14:56.040 --> 0:14:59.320
<v Speaker 1>barbage for down considerably US today. I think four the

0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:03.160
<v Speaker 1>twin three, the man which scold only one target second universe. Ever,

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 1>how much of that was in the product of having

0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:09.040
<v Speaker 1>the ship a little bit because it takes your you know,

0:15:09.120 --> 0:15:11.800
<v Speaker 1>your tight end a little bit out of the game. Um.

0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.560
<v Speaker 1>From the standpoint, he's not necessarily down the field, down

0:15:14.560 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>the field, UM, running routes. But at the same time,

0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.080
<v Speaker 1>that type of defense, because of the way they play

0:15:21.120 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>their zone defense, there's such a soft three D zone

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that that those those routes can become very important for

0:15:26.440 --> 0:15:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you as a quarterback. And again those are all Um.

0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you could have seen you know, tight end

0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>targets up, you could have seen running back targets up, Um,

0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.320
<v Speaker 1>and and you know it's just uh again, it's kind

0:15:40.320 --> 0:15:44.040
<v Speaker 1>of the it's kind of the the growth, the maturity

0:15:44.080 --> 0:15:48.360
<v Speaker 1>of of where we are. Um Carson learning the game,

0:15:48.800 --> 0:15:51.960
<v Speaker 1>understanding the situation. And he'll just listen, he'll get better

0:15:52.120 --> 0:15:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with each time he takes the football. He gotta you know,

0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:58.920
<v Speaker 1>this is his fifth start and and we're expecting, you know,

0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:02.040
<v Speaker 1>the world out of him, and we put a lot

0:16:02.080 --> 0:16:05.080
<v Speaker 1>on his shoulders now and uh, um, he's handled it

0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:09.040
<v Speaker 1>extremely well. Are you able to call the game you

0:16:09.160 --> 0:16:12.000
<v Speaker 1>want with so much attention going to helping out buy that?

0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.320
<v Speaker 1>I am? I am actually, And you know, we do

0:16:15.360 --> 0:16:17.840
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things with jet protections and slide protections

0:16:17.920 --> 0:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>that that it's an easy thing to do just with

0:16:21.360 --> 0:16:23.960
<v Speaker 1>a simple call and the backs can still get in

0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.120
<v Speaker 1>their spots and still do their their their routes. We

0:16:27.200 --> 0:16:29.560
<v Speaker 1>did enough five man protection in this game too that

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I was able to get get get all five guys

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:36.040
<v Speaker 1>out in the route. Um, So yeah, I was, you know,

0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:40.320
<v Speaker 1>I was comfortable there. Lack of discipline and the penalties

0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:43.880
<v Speaker 1>and the sloppiness, are they showing up in practice? Are

0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they at an issue during the week. There's a few.

0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:48.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, we've been working the silent count these last

0:16:48.920 --> 0:16:50.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of last couple of days because we've been on

0:16:51.000 --> 0:16:54.280
<v Speaker 1>the road, and with the silent count always comes the

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.840
<v Speaker 1>issue of can the tackles and tight ends and the

0:16:56.840 --> 0:17:00.800
<v Speaker 1>false starts and things like that come into play. Yeah. Um,

0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:02.760
<v Speaker 1>and you see one or two of those throughout the

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:05.880
<v Speaker 1>course of the week. Um. And then of course you're

0:17:05.880 --> 0:17:08.639
<v Speaker 1>seeing it. You're seeing it, you know, in the games.

0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:12.719
<v Speaker 1>But we continue, We're going to continue to work silent account.

0:17:12.800 --> 0:17:14.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're we're back home this week, so we

0:17:14.520 --> 0:17:16.000
<v Speaker 1>can we can use a little bit more of our

0:17:16.040 --> 0:17:18.560
<v Speaker 1>lives and normal cadences, which is a little bit easier

0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:22.840
<v Speaker 1>for our tackles and tight ends to get off the football. Um.

0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:24.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's an area that all addressed with

0:17:24.960 --> 0:17:28.720
<v Speaker 1>the football games. Carson responded, I have to be initial.

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:32.320
<v Speaker 1>I thought that he bounced back and did a nice job.

0:17:32.359 --> 0:17:34.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, he stood in there and he delivered the

0:17:34.520 --> 0:17:37.520
<v Speaker 1>football made a couple of nice nice uh throws on

0:17:37.560 --> 0:17:39.760
<v Speaker 1>the run out of the pocket. Was unfortunate the one

0:17:39.800 --> 0:17:43.439
<v Speaker 1>came back on a on a penalty. Um, but uh,

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.720
<v Speaker 1>I thought he I thought he stood in there and

0:17:45.720 --> 0:17:47.480
<v Speaker 1>did a nice job, you know as as a game.

0:17:47.520 --> 0:17:53.800
<v Speaker 1>Wrong when Carson stands up yesterday and kind of tasted

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.280
<v Speaker 1>by in sacks and also you know maybe for the

0:17:56.320 --> 0:17:58.600
<v Speaker 1>play to earths and you said could have been well,

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:04.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean does that resume players and kind of a

0:18:04.400 --> 0:18:06.800
<v Speaker 1>you know players, players do see that and and and

0:18:06.840 --> 0:18:12.440
<v Speaker 1>that's just a sign of mature um quarterback. And that's

0:18:12.440 --> 0:18:14.959
<v Speaker 1>the type of guy that Carson is. And and you

0:18:15.000 --> 0:18:19.280
<v Speaker 1>know he's hard on himself. UM and and UM, you

0:18:19.320 --> 0:18:22.120
<v Speaker 1>know he he understands that those situations he can't take

0:18:22.160 --> 0:18:25.680
<v Speaker 1>those uh those sacks obviously in those situations, he knows

0:18:25.760 --> 0:18:28.879
<v Speaker 1>that ball's got to come out whatever he can do

0:18:28.960 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 1>to get you know, the ball lower six inches whatever. Um,

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:36.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, Zach making the play, you know it's a

0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:41.160
<v Speaker 1>touchdown on the play. UM. You know, the guys when

0:18:41.200 --> 0:18:44.720
<v Speaker 1>when he when he takes ownership that way, UM, the

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:47.879
<v Speaker 1>guys really do understand and see that this is this

0:18:47.960 --> 0:18:50.160
<v Speaker 1>is a kid that you can rally around and support

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:53.080
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, because he's he's a tough he's a

0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:54.680
<v Speaker 1>tough kid now and he's going to stand in there

0:18:54.680 --> 0:18:58.399
<v Speaker 1>and take a lot of shots and um and rightfully so.

0:18:59.119 --> 0:19:03.240
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, the guys do take notice that you've always

0:19:03.240 --> 0:19:06.120
<v Speaker 1>said that executions car amount. You don't hear if you're

0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.399
<v Speaker 1>going and has your entire playbook, if you execute, your

0:19:08.400 --> 0:19:10.800
<v Speaker 1>going to new or correct, Well you're facing the situation

0:19:10.880 --> 0:19:14.560
<v Speaker 1>is coming week. Who does have your entire playbook? Exeque

0:19:14.640 --> 0:19:17.080
<v Speaker 1>affected all the weak put put together. One guy has

0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:23.760
<v Speaker 1>my entire playbook. One guy he might he's gotta worry

0:19:23.760 --> 0:19:29.399
<v Speaker 1>about getting himself ready to play too. So that you

0:19:29.480 --> 0:19:35.240
<v Speaker 1>understand my question, do we also uh back a few

0:19:35.280 --> 0:19:38.200
<v Speaker 1>years ago, Donovan was in Washington when we played him,

0:19:38.280 --> 0:19:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and uh, we had a pretty good day. Um so listen,

0:19:43.920 --> 0:19:49.360
<v Speaker 1>I I'm not gonna change anything. Will we tweak some stuff? Yes,

0:19:50.160 --> 0:19:51.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, we still have to get ready. It's a

0:19:51.680 --> 0:19:54.080
<v Speaker 1>great football team coming in here now. They're undefeated coming

0:19:54.080 --> 0:19:59.160
<v Speaker 1>off of bye. Um Sam has obviously a good understanding

0:19:59.160 --> 0:20:01.600
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge of what we do on both sides of

0:20:01.640 --> 0:20:05.479
<v Speaker 1>the ball. I think where it becomes valuable for a coach,

0:20:05.880 --> 0:20:09.840
<v Speaker 1>Um when a player knows you is just knowing personnel,

0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:13.840
<v Speaker 1>I think, just understanding the types of guys that that

0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:16.520
<v Speaker 1>are that are here. He's been a teammate, you know,

0:20:16.600 --> 0:20:19.280
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of years here, and um, I think

0:20:19.280 --> 0:20:22.080
<v Speaker 1>that becomes more valuable than than the x's and knows

0:20:22.080 --> 0:20:24.800
<v Speaker 1>because I know, if if if I know Sam, and

0:20:24.840 --> 0:20:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I know I know you know the quarterback position. I mean,

0:20:28.720 --> 0:20:30.879
<v Speaker 1>he's got to get he's got to get ready for

0:20:30.920 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>this defense and get himself ready to go as well

0:20:35.320 --> 0:20:40.800
<v Speaker 1>coming in there so late. You know, it's just everything

0:20:40.880 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 1>I've seen and worked with Sam, and how well he

0:20:44.880 --> 0:20:47.399
<v Speaker 1>picked up our offense here and the execution he had

0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.359
<v Speaker 1>throughout training camp. Um, you know, and and you're seeing

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:54.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the same concepts offensively with them that

0:20:54.280 --> 0:20:57.880
<v Speaker 1>that that we did here. And um, he's a sharp kid,

0:20:58.000 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and he's a smart kid and and uh he's very

0:21:00.119 --> 0:21:03.640
<v Speaker 1>accurate thrower. And so I'm not I'm not surprised to success.

0:21:03.640 --> 0:21:06.000
<v Speaker 1>He's got great you know, he didn't he didn't go

0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.879
<v Speaker 1>to a you know, a one and fifteen team. He

0:21:08.920 --> 0:21:12.440
<v Speaker 1>went to a playoff caliber team, so with a tremendous defense.

0:21:12.480 --> 0:21:16.520
<v Speaker 1>So that that helps as well. Question yesterday what's the

0:21:16.640 --> 0:21:19.120
<v Speaker 1>thinking and now was rushing the punt team out there

0:21:19.359 --> 0:21:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and preserving the time. Yeah, you know, it's uh at

0:21:22.920 --> 0:21:25.560
<v Speaker 1>that time, obviously you're in a two minute situation. You

0:21:25.640 --> 0:21:28.000
<v Speaker 1>take the big sack, you know, you end up doing

0:21:28.000 --> 0:21:29.879
<v Speaker 1>the math on the whole thing. You're gonna end up

0:21:29.920 --> 0:21:31.680
<v Speaker 1>in the same spot whether you take the time out

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:35.159
<v Speaker 1>or you don't. Um. And so at that point I

0:21:35.280 --> 0:21:38.560
<v Speaker 1>likeded to take the time out, save the time, knowing

0:21:38.640 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna have to punt, you know, hoping to

0:21:40.880 --> 0:21:42.760
<v Speaker 1>get a stop on third down. They were going to

0:21:42.800 --> 0:21:44.960
<v Speaker 1>waste the time that you know, run the time there,

0:21:45.000 --> 0:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>but we still would have got the ball back with

0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I think just under fifty seconds, you know, in a game,

0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:52.520
<v Speaker 1>with an opportunity to still go tie it. Okay, thank

0:21:52.520 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 1>you guys. One
