Speaker 1: All right, UM, get started here. Let me update you, uh,
Speaker 1: you guys on on our injury situation. Uh out of
Speaker 1: this football game. So Ron Brooks left calf, left calf contusion,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a it's a deep bruise. It's it's significant.
Speaker 1: Um again his his is a day to day UH
Speaker 1: situation there. Jason Kelsey uh plantar fasciitis. Um, he'll actually
Speaker 1: be out. Both of these guys will be out of
Speaker 1: our practice on Wednesday coming up, won't practice Wednesday. Well, well,
Speaker 1: they're both day to day. Michael Kendricks had just a
Speaker 1: rib contusion against same thing, will hold him out on
Speaker 1: Wednesday's practice. Marcus Smith has a right growing strain. UM,
Speaker 1: should be fine. We'll just hold him on Wednesday. And
Speaker 1: then Benny Logan his left growing strain. His is a
Speaker 1: little more significant. UM, probably a week to week UH
Speaker 1: deal injury with with Benny, and but we'll keep monitoring
Speaker 1: that every every day. Brian Brayman, Jordan Matthews, Leo and
Speaker 1: Rodney McLeod. Rodney got a right ac shoulder sprain in
Speaker 1: this game. But both of those are all four of
Speaker 1: those guys will be good U to practice on on Wednesday. Coach,
Speaker 1: you can get Leo's back, but then now you have
Speaker 1: another injury to another quarterback. At some point you're gonna
Speaker 1: have to change with you two on game day. Have
Speaker 1: more quarterbacks up. Well, you know, we we brought up
Speaker 1: a CJ last week obviously to the active but um,
Speaker 1: you know this is this is the National Football League,
Speaker 1: and with with the limited roster side that you have,
Speaker 1: I mean this is it's a nature. That's the nature
Speaker 1: of the business. And uh, you know, injuries are going
Speaker 1: to happen. We just got to uh make sure our
Speaker 1: guys are healthy and fresh. But we have, um, we
Speaker 1: have combinations of guys that obviously we we've worked throughout
Speaker 1: camp and first part of the season. So um, you
Speaker 1: know we'll attack it. We'll at act again this week.
Speaker 1: After the game, you kind of indicated that Big v
Speaker 1: will be your right tackle against the Vikings. But after
Speaker 1: watching the film, is he is he going to start
Speaker 1: on Sunday against the Viking? Yes? What you think of
Speaker 1: me hot in that, Doug, You know, you look at
Speaker 1: it from a certain perspective. Then you get a chance
Speaker 1: to come in today and watch it again, um and
Speaker 1: and uh you get a different perspective. Felt like he
Speaker 1: slow start, but really settled in nicely, um throughout the game.
Speaker 1: And listen, there were was it perfect? Was it pretty? No?
Speaker 1: Were their assignment errors? Yes? And you know, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to stand here and point the finger at at
Speaker 1: Big V because that's not what happened. There's enough mistakes
Speaker 1: all around in this football game that that cost us
Speaker 1: this game. And you know, uh, but I thought as
Speaker 1: the game progressed, he settled in nicely. And and it's
Speaker 1: a good thing you can take with a you know,
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback back there and an inexperienced right tackle
Speaker 1: when you have other options. In fact, you thought the
Speaker 1: summer that the best option was to have Alan out
Speaker 1: there with Wiznowski at guard. Two veterans, um, and now
Speaker 1: you have a rookie that's in charge of protecting a
Speaker 1: very valuable piece for you. Listen, there's there's a risk
Speaker 1: every time they take the field. I'm just you know,
Speaker 1: playing and simple. Every time we take the field, there's
Speaker 1: a risk. And regardless of whether it be a rookie
Speaker 1: or a veteran out there playing, Um, I can't get
Speaker 1: caught up in that. I'm not gonna necessarily worry about
Speaker 1: that as much as my focus is to get V
Speaker 1: ready to go and listen, he'll be a lot better
Speaker 1: this week. He's now got a full game under his belt. Um,
Speaker 1: and and that's valuable experience that he can learn from
Speaker 1: going into this week of time. Think your first team
Speaker 1: at centered on with yeah be with he'll be with
Speaker 1: concern about Elsy missess Sunday No, yeah, yeah be you
Speaker 1: consider the best option right tackle. That's the best scenario
Speaker 1: for right now. Where is the idea of developing him
Speaker 1: and getting an experience and he can be a better
Speaker 1: player down the road. A bigger part of this is
Speaker 1: he he gives us the best opportunity to win right now,
Speaker 1: and he's he is our backup right tackle right now. Um.
Speaker 1: Therefore he's he's going to play and he's gonna he's
Speaker 1: gonna gain valuable experience weekend and week out. Tackle is
Speaker 1: better than the world has, harb. Yes, yes, you set
Speaker 1: the four that you know world like to kind of do.
Speaker 1: It is all taken the defense. He would only kind
Speaker 1: of intervene if you saw something he didn't like. If
Speaker 1: you reach that point, No, Um, there's no panic by
Speaker 1: no no stretch with you mad, no panic whatsoever. Uh
Speaker 1: talked to Jim this morning. We kind of went through it,
Speaker 1: and I watched the watch the defensive side of the
Speaker 1: ball and and listen, it's it just comes down to
Speaker 1: players making plays. And and um, you know it's um
Speaker 1: the guys are disappointed. The players are disappointed. They know, uh,
Speaker 1: they know how they played and they they they felt
Speaker 1: it after the game. And the guys that have been
Speaker 1: here already this morning, UM no, and and uh it's
Speaker 1: just ownership. But uh by no means um will will
Speaker 1: have I or will I at this point, you know,
Speaker 1: make any any decisions on that side of the ball
Speaker 1: right now? You know Dougan knock and going with big
Speaker 1: V over the double move of having Barber's sprint outside
Speaker 1: and whiz which one concerns you more in this In
Speaker 1: that double move, is it moving Barber to the right
Speaker 1: tackle or is it putting wiz Newski in a left yea?
Speaker 1: Because Barber right now, you know he's been playing really
Speaker 1: well at left guard and uh, um, you know it's
Speaker 1: a whole new position going from left guard to right tackle.
Speaker 1: You're out there on an island. And uh, um, it's
Speaker 1: just making a double switch like that, Um is tough
Speaker 1: even though it is two veteran players. That's a tough switch.
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we did things in this football
Speaker 1: game to to help whether it be sliding protections or
Speaker 1: chips or whatever we needed to do, uh to help him.
Speaker 1: And we'll continue to monitor that as we go, as
Speaker 1: we put game plans together in these these next couple
Speaker 1: of weeks. You enough defense. Two hundred and thirty yards
Speaker 1: rushing your front seven is supposed to be the strength
Speaker 1: of your team. It looked like it was just physically manhandle.
Speaker 1: Why does that happen? Yeah, I mean I would agree,
Speaker 1: I would agree that. Uh, you know, we got our
Speaker 1: tail kicked up front this this this game. I mean
Speaker 1: that's that's a that's an obvious and uh, it's uh,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a pride thing. It comes down to
Speaker 1: each man, you know, taking ownership in their in their
Speaker 1: jobs and their assignments. Um. As coaches, we got to
Speaker 1: make sure our players in their right positions to make plays.
Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, you know, um,
Speaker 1: it's it's each man, each man to himself collectively, and
Speaker 1: then as a group, you know, coming together and making
Speaker 1: making plays. It it's surprising that that you know, a
Speaker 1: team could could run the ball for for that many
Speaker 1: yards against us with with the way we play an
Speaker 1: attack on defense. But at the same time, I will
Speaker 1: give the Redskins credit for um getting after us upfront.
Speaker 1: Really on both sides of the both sides of the
Speaker 1: line scrimmage, that doug your offensive, your front flour a
Speaker 1: linement leaves more natural gaps or wider natural gaps, and
Speaker 1: a line of it falls on linebackers to be aggressive.
Speaker 1: Is that where you're You saw some of the failing
Speaker 1: and in that second line. Sometimes linebackers get caught, you know,
Speaker 1: behind blocks. Sometimes we don't get the penetration we need
Speaker 1: up front. Um, guys begin to two gaps just a
Speaker 1: little bit more than what what gym teaches and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know coach Wilson and you know, we pride ourselves
Speaker 1: on getting up field. That's where you can disrupt blocks
Speaker 1: is by getting up field, and it creates space for
Speaker 1: your linebackers to come downhill and flow. And when that's
Speaker 1: not syncd up all the time, that's where you can
Speaker 1: get behind blocks and that's where your your big running
Speaker 1: lanes can come from. Before this game, the way the
Speaker 1: offense is being able to hold the ball like the
Speaker 1: time of possession. That's kind of masks some of the
Speaker 1: you know, problems on defense and go, well, we we've
Speaker 1: got our own set of issues, you know, obviously on offense,
Speaker 1: and we've got you know, you look at this football
Speaker 1: game too, and it comes down to penalties and third down,
Speaker 1: which it did almost a week ago. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: we average our average third down distance was third and
Speaker 1: ten in this football game, and uh, it's tough to overcome.
Speaker 1: And penalties, uh set us back on first or second
Speaker 1: down and gave us some longer situations. So you know,
Speaker 1: we've got to clean that up offensively because then collectively
Speaker 1: that handles um the time of possession and the fact
Speaker 1: that we can stay on the field and then keep
Speaker 1: our defense and keep them fresh and died. And in
Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks offensively, we haven't been able
Speaker 1: to do that. Why why it seems right after the
Speaker 1: body I mean you you guys were getting lauded by
Speaker 1: the national but you carly that number one and the
Speaker 1: number two already are you sating? Okay, every body, No,
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna I'm not gonna, you know, um change
Speaker 1: anything that way. I think it just you know, it
Speaker 1: just comes down to the communication from from me to
Speaker 1: the team to the staff. UM. Disciplining, disciplining ourselves in practice,
Speaker 1: focusing on the little things. Little things will take care
Speaker 1: of big things. Um. And those are all those are
Speaker 1: all part of the game. And again, the players know,
Speaker 1: the coaches know. You know, we can't we can't keep
Speaker 1: keep putting ourselves in these situations and and UM, you
Speaker 1: know it's unfortunate, um that that is happening right now,
Speaker 1: but it's something we have to address and clean up.
Speaker 1: When you guys give up twenty one point in the
Speaker 1: first half of back to back weeks, what does that
Speaker 1: say about just the guys being ready to play? But
Speaker 1: you think that's an issue that they just haven't been
Speaker 1: kind of ready on both sides of the ball early
Speaker 1: in games. Well, you know this game, Um, the guys
Speaker 1: came out, they came out ready. You know, Washington, you
Speaker 1: know punts early. Of course, we punted early, and then
Speaker 1: you know they put a drive together. We had we
Speaker 1: had a couple of penalties in there that kept some
Speaker 1: drives going. I know, Kirk Cousins scrambled on one that
Speaker 1: gave them a first down, things of that nature. And
Speaker 1: then then the defense steps up, you get to pick six,
Speaker 1: you have the kickoff return. You're right back in the
Speaker 1: football game at fourteen fourteen, and you're looking for that
Speaker 1: one spark. And you know, we were hoping at that
Speaker 1: time that that was going to be our spark. And
Speaker 1: then off offensively, we've got to do more offensively to
Speaker 1: stay on the field and to keep our defense off
Speaker 1: the field. That's what we saw in the first three games.
Speaker 1: We were able to control the ball not only you know, plays,
Speaker 1: but at the time of possession. So, uh, it works,
Speaker 1: as the beauty of football, it works. All three phases
Speaker 1: have to be in sync for this thing to happen. Well,
Speaker 1: he had opportunities yesterday. Um, you know, uh yeah, Well,
Speaker 1: and you know, listen, Um, there were plays designed you know,
Speaker 1: not necessarily with him being the first progression, but there
Speaker 1: were there were plays where where Carson, you know, based
Speaker 1: on the progression the read could have could have thrown
Speaker 1: him the ball a couple of times. Um. And and
Speaker 1: you know, you got one football and you know, we
Speaker 1: asked Carson to go through his read and if he's
Speaker 1: the guy, he's the guy. But but he is a
Speaker 1: big part of the offense. And then we got to
Speaker 1: continue and I've got to continue with with Frank and
Speaker 1: the guys to still figure out and find ways to
Speaker 1: get him, get him and get him, get him the ball.
Speaker 1: Actually specificularly the class who sat that, what would you
Speaker 1: like to see in that situation? Well, on the second
Speaker 1: and six, Um, you know, again, that was a that
Speaker 1: was a play designed to to to get the ball
Speaker 1: down the field. He had an opportunity. Again, zach Ertz
Speaker 1: was the guy underneath, you know. And that's the that's
Speaker 1: the thing about just understanding situational football. These are the
Speaker 1: things with young quarterbacks sometimes you kind of lose lose
Speaker 1: sight of in the heat of the battle. Um, and
Speaker 1: and and Carson understands that, and he knows that, and
Speaker 1: and then on the last one, you just you just
Speaker 1: can't put yourself in that situation. You know, it was
Speaker 1: it was a two d man coverage and and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, he had opportunity, he didn't have to slide
Speaker 1: and move into pocket. But at the same time, UM,
Speaker 1: in those situations, knowing again the situation and the coverage us,
Speaker 1: you should expect, Um and we should expect that the
Speaker 1: ball has got to come out of your hand because
Speaker 1: if we complete the ball on the third and law
Speaker 1: then it gives us an opportunity to go for it
Speaker 1: on fourth down and not have to punt the ball back.
Speaker 1: I did. People want to focus on many other problems.
Speaker 1: If you have the problems, and how much time do
Speaker 1: we have? I mean, listen, this is this wasn't a
Speaker 1: perfect football game. It's not a perfect football game. We
Speaker 1: made enough mistakes on offense to to to keep ourselves
Speaker 1: and we kept ourselves out of the end zone. You know, uh,
Speaker 1: two field goals is not good enough to win. And
Speaker 1: and you know there's enough, there's enough to go around everybody,
Speaker 1: and me included that, uh. Um, And I beat myself
Speaker 1: up all the time. As far as am I putting
Speaker 1: the am I making the right calls? Am I putting
Speaker 1: the guys in the right situations by play, call, by design?
Speaker 1: Am I helping if I need to have help? And
Speaker 1: you know, so I beat myself up to and and
Speaker 1: it starts with me because I'm the one calling the game.
Speaker 1: So you know, but there's enough mistakes, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: there's there's there's problems, uh, and and issues that we
Speaker 1: have to address. Um with everybody play chip offal upsiders,
Speaker 1: you've seen the same level of players from Jason, but
Speaker 1: you can see yeah, and you know, um, he'll come
Speaker 1: in and he'll tell you that probably wasn't his perfect,
Speaker 1: wasn't his best yesterday. UM. And and you know, again,
Speaker 1: you're on the road, you get two wide good rush
Speaker 1: d ns and and you do everything you can to
Speaker 1: chip both edges. I was kind of the m O
Speaker 1: going in on on in those situations. And um again
Speaker 1: it's it's something that it comes down to each man,
Speaker 1: you know, just doing their job, doing their assignment. That's
Speaker 1: kind of been my message throughout camp and throughout the
Speaker 1: early part of the season. And and uh just making
Speaker 1: sure that we uh um as coaches have our players
Speaker 1: ready to go and and detail their assignments. Fight end
Speaker 1: barbage for down considerably US today. I think four the
Speaker 1: twin three, the man which scold only one target second universe. Ever,
Speaker 1: how much of that was in the product of having
Speaker 1: the ship a little bit because it takes your you know,
Speaker 1: your tight end a little bit out of the game. Um.
Speaker 1: From the standpoint, he's not necessarily down the field, down
Speaker 1: the field, UM, running routes. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: that type of defense, because of the way they play
Speaker 1: their zone defense, there's such a soft three D zone
Speaker 1: that that those those routes can become very important for
Speaker 1: you as a quarterback. And again those are all Um.
Speaker 1: And then you could have seen you know, tight end
Speaker 1: targets up, you could have seen running back targets up, Um,
Speaker 1: and and you know it's just uh again, it's kind
Speaker 1: of the it's kind of the the growth, the maturity
Speaker 1: of of where we are. Um Carson learning the game,
Speaker 1: understanding the situation. And he'll just listen, he'll get better
Speaker 1: with each time he takes the football. He gotta you know,
Speaker 1: this is his fifth start and and we're expecting, you know,
Speaker 1: the world out of him, and we put a lot
Speaker 1: on his shoulders now and uh, um, he's handled it
Speaker 1: extremely well. Are you able to call the game you
Speaker 1: want with so much attention going to helping out buy that?
Speaker 1: I am? I am actually, And you know, we do
Speaker 1: a lot of things with jet protections and slide protections
Speaker 1: that that it's an easy thing to do just with
Speaker 1: a simple call and the backs can still get in
Speaker 1: their spots and still do their their their routes. We
Speaker 1: did enough five man protection in this game too that
Speaker 1: I was able to get get get all five guys
Speaker 1: out in the route. Um, So yeah, I was, you know,
Speaker 1: I was comfortable there. Lack of discipline and the penalties
Speaker 1: and the sloppiness, are they showing up in practice? Are
Speaker 1: they at an issue during the week. There's a few.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been working the silent count these last
Speaker 1: couple of last couple of days because we've been on
Speaker 1: the road, and with the silent count always comes the
Speaker 1: issue of can the tackles and tight ends and the
Speaker 1: false starts and things like that come into play. Yeah. Um,
Speaker 1: and you see one or two of those throughout the
Speaker 1: course of the week. Um. And then of course you're
Speaker 1: seeing it. You're seeing it, you know, in the games.
Speaker 1: But we continue, We're going to continue to work silent account.
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're back home this week, so we
Speaker 1: can we can use a little bit more of our
Speaker 1: lives and normal cadences, which is a little bit easier
Speaker 1: for our tackles and tight ends to get off the football. Um.
Speaker 1: But you know, it's an area that all addressed with
Speaker 1: the football games. Carson responded, I have to be initial.
Speaker 1: I thought that he bounced back and did a nice job.
Speaker 1: You know, he stood in there and he delivered the
Speaker 1: football made a couple of nice nice uh throws on
Speaker 1: the run out of the pocket. Was unfortunate the one
Speaker 1: came back on a on a penalty. Um, but uh,
Speaker 1: I thought he I thought he stood in there and
Speaker 1: did a nice job, you know as as a game.
Speaker 1: Wrong when Carson stands up yesterday and kind of tasted
Speaker 1: by in sacks and also you know maybe for the
Speaker 1: play to earths and you said could have been well,
Speaker 1: I mean does that resume players and kind of a
Speaker 1: you know players, players do see that and and and
Speaker 1: that's just a sign of mature um quarterback. And that's
Speaker 1: the type of guy that Carson is. And and you
Speaker 1: know he's hard on himself. UM and and UM, you
Speaker 1: know he he understands that those situations he can't take
Speaker 1: those uh those sacks obviously in those situations, he knows
Speaker 1: that ball's got to come out whatever he can do
Speaker 1: to get you know, the ball lower six inches whatever. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, Zach making the play, you know it's a
Speaker 1: touchdown on the play. UM. You know, the guys when
Speaker 1: when he when he takes ownership that way, UM, the
Speaker 1: guys really do understand and see that this is this
Speaker 1: is a kid that you can rally around and support
Speaker 1: and and uh, because he's he's a tough he's a
Speaker 1: tough kid now and he's going to stand in there
Speaker 1: and take a lot of shots and um and rightfully so.
Speaker 1: But yeah, the guys do take notice that you've always
Speaker 1: said that executions car amount. You don't hear if you're
Speaker 1: going and has your entire playbook, if you execute, your
Speaker 1: going to new or correct, Well you're facing the situation
Speaker 1: is coming week. Who does have your entire playbook? Exeque
Speaker 1: affected all the weak put put together. One guy has
Speaker 1: my entire playbook. One guy he might he's gotta worry
Speaker 1: about getting himself ready to play too. So that you
Speaker 1: understand my question, do we also uh back a few
Speaker 1: years ago, Donovan was in Washington when we played him,
Speaker 1: and uh, we had a pretty good day. Um so listen,
Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna change anything. Will we tweak some stuff? Yes,
Speaker 1: you know, we still have to get ready. It's a
Speaker 1: great football team coming in here now. They're undefeated coming
Speaker 1: off of bye. Um Sam has obviously a good understanding
Speaker 1: of knowledge of what we do on both sides of
Speaker 1: the ball. I think where it becomes valuable for a coach,
Speaker 1: Um when a player knows you is just knowing personnel,
Speaker 1: I think, just understanding the types of guys that that
Speaker 1: are that are here. He's been a teammate, you know,
Speaker 1: for a couple of years here, and um, I think
Speaker 1: that becomes more valuable than than the x's and knows
Speaker 1: because I know, if if if I know Sam, and
Speaker 1: I know I know you know the quarterback position. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's got to get he's got to get ready for
Speaker 1: this defense and get himself ready to go as well
Speaker 1: coming in there so late. You know, it's just everything
Speaker 1: I've seen and worked with Sam, and how well he
Speaker 1: picked up our offense here and the execution he had
Speaker 1: throughout training camp. Um, you know, and and you're seeing
Speaker 1: a lot of the same concepts offensively with them that
Speaker 1: that that we did here. And um, he's a sharp kid,
Speaker 1: and he's a smart kid and and uh he's very
Speaker 1: accurate thrower. And so I'm not I'm not surprised to success.
Speaker 1: He's got great you know, he didn't he didn't go
Speaker 1: to a you know, a one and fifteen team. He
Speaker 1: went to a playoff caliber team, so with a tremendous defense.
Speaker 1: So that that helps as well. Question yesterday what's the
Speaker 1: thinking and now was rushing the punt team out there
Speaker 1: and preserving the time. Yeah, you know, it's uh at
Speaker 1: that time, obviously you're in a two minute situation. You
Speaker 1: take the big sack, you know, you end up doing
Speaker 1: the math on the whole thing. You're gonna end up
Speaker 1: in the same spot whether you take the time out
Speaker 1: or you don't. Um. And so at that point I
Speaker 1: likeded to take the time out, save the time, knowing
Speaker 1: we were gonna have to punt, you know, hoping to
Speaker 1: get a stop on third down. They were going to
Speaker 1: waste the time that you know, run the time there,
Speaker 1: but we still would have got the ball back with
Speaker 1: I think just under fifty seconds, you know, in a game,
Speaker 1: with an opportunity to still go tie it. Okay, thank
Speaker 1: you guys. One
