WEBVTT - Doug Pederson 1-on-1: December 9

0:00:00.600 --> 0:00:04.360
<v Speaker 1>Coach again, how difficult is it when you fought this hard?

0:00:04.400 --> 0:00:06.560
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I watched a heavyweight fight and not

0:00:06.640 --> 0:00:09.120
<v Speaker 1>come up with the win. It's exactly how I felt

0:00:09.119 --> 0:00:11.480
<v Speaker 1>after this football game and really going into this game

0:00:12.320 --> 0:00:16.400
<v Speaker 1>from the standpoint of you know, the NFC's Cowboys Eagles,

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.079
<v Speaker 1>it's always always a fight to the end. Um. Both

0:00:19.120 --> 0:00:20.800
<v Speaker 1>games this year have come right down to the end.

0:00:20.920 --> 0:00:23.720
<v Speaker 1>And you know, it's unfortunate that we're on the on

0:00:23.760 --> 0:00:27.960
<v Speaker 1>the short end of this one again. Um, But but

0:00:28.000 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>there there is no quit I mean the fact that

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>our guys compete in battle right to the end. Um.

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:38.560
<v Speaker 1>It definitely is a learning opportunity, a moment for our guys,

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>for our coaches, Um, that we're gonna learn from. We'll

0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:44.320
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the next one. And and uh, you know,

0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:46.839
<v Speaker 1>just keep this team together. Speaking of that battle, the

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.839
<v Speaker 1>offense didn't get going for a long time, but you

0:00:49.960 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>really moved the ball well in the fourth quarter. What

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.560
<v Speaker 1>was the difference? I think I think a lot of things,

0:00:55.600 --> 0:00:58.160
<v Speaker 1>but I think number one, Um, you know, we found

0:00:58.200 --> 0:01:00.320
<v Speaker 1>we found some matchups that we could kind of spot,

0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, uh in on their defense, and Dallas made

0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of huge, huge catches obviously is unfortunate though

0:01:07.000 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>you know the PI I guess, yeah, that was that

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>was unfortunate. But he made a couple of nice catches.

0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:14.760
<v Speaker 1>Alshan made a couple of nice catches, and you know,

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and and we were able to do some things with

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the play action game in the second half that really

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>sort of even though we were running the ball very well,

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>it's still sort of UM kept their d line you

0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>know at bay and and uh just opened up a

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 1>couple of windows force. Do you think when you got

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>into the the overtime, the fact that your defense was

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:32.360
<v Speaker 1>on the field for so long, do you think that

0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 1>hurt in the overtime? I think it can, um, you know,

0:01:35.280 --> 0:01:37.720
<v Speaker 1>quite frankly, they're they're on the field so long and

0:01:37.720 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>and and it's tough, and especially a team that you

0:01:40.240 --> 0:01:42.000
<v Speaker 1>know it's gonna run the ball at you. It's uh,

0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:44.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard, um. But we were just looking for

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.000
<v Speaker 1>for any stop, one stop. We you know, even right

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>there before the end of end of regulation, you know,

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>a couple of sacks and they just dug down and

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>dug deep and and found a way to make a play.

0:01:54.720 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>And we just needed that in overtime and just unfortunately

0:01:57.560 --> 0:01:59.480
<v Speaker 1>we didn't get it. You've got three games left. How

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>do you handle this team moving forward this week going

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.960
<v Speaker 1>out to LA Well, um, you know, number one, we

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:07.200
<v Speaker 1>gotta we just gotta get back to work. Um, we're

0:02:07.240 --> 0:02:09.880
<v Speaker 1>still not necessarily out of out of the postseason, even

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:12.000
<v Speaker 1>though you know, we know people are probably gonna, uh

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:15.320
<v Speaker 1>kind of ride us off, but um, it is what

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:17.359
<v Speaker 1>it is right now. But but we've we've got to

0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.399
<v Speaker 1>focus on next week. We gotta get ready for next week.

0:02:19.400 --> 0:02:23.560
<v Speaker 1>We got our long trip again, and and just quite frankly, um,

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:25.600
<v Speaker 1>roll up our sleeves and go to work, you know,

0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and and and just just continue to grind. Thanks coach,

0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Thank you,
