WEBVTT - Press Pass: Doug Pederson

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, six forty four, I believe on the clock. Um

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.040
<v Speaker 1>just shows the resiliency of the team. You know, there's

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:16.079
<v Speaker 1>there's uh you know what I've said it quite a

0:00:16.079 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>few times. You know, there's just no um, no quit

0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:22.080
<v Speaker 1>in this team. Um. You know, they're they're they're learning

0:00:22.079 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>to play as a unit, play together. And that's good

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>to see. Um. And just a great way to finish

0:00:27.440 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the game. Yeah, you know, it's it's game plan specific

0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.320
<v Speaker 1>each week and we have design you know, plays for

0:00:36.320 --> 0:00:39.800
<v Speaker 1>each one of them. And uh, um it's great to

0:00:39.800 --> 0:00:41.640
<v Speaker 1>get them all, you know, all touches. But at the

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.720
<v Speaker 1>same time, give credit to the offensive line tight ends.

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 1>They did an outstanding job today up front. You know,

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess a good a good defensive line and and um,

0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to try to uh just get them

0:00:52.560 --> 0:01:03.320
<v Speaker 1>all involved. Remember that loud that dominated studio. I can't

0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:05.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't recall the time. But it was great too,

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.320
<v Speaker 1>great to see our you know, the Eagle nation out there,

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:10.280
<v Speaker 1>the fans and and uh um you know, to come

0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:13.080
<v Speaker 1>support the guys. So it's uh, you know, it's a

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.840
<v Speaker 1>long trip for us obviously. UM. Great to see the

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.199
<v Speaker 1>fans out there. They were they were huge today. Um,

0:01:18.240 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>and it was it was a fun, fun atmosphere. Now, yeah,

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's two weeks in a row now that

0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:33.000
<v Speaker 1>he's he's, Um, he's done a great job and uh

0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, um big guy at the end of the game,

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:38.680
<v Speaker 1>he saw the big long run. Um, so yeah, he's

0:01:38.720 --> 0:01:40.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think he has anything approves the guy that

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.640
<v Speaker 1>we knew that I knew that we were getting back

0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 1>back in the spring. Yeah. Really the biggest thing was

0:01:50.520 --> 0:01:53.520
<v Speaker 1>the backside tight ends. Eckerts made a great block on

0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that to spring him. And then you know, he's he's

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.520
<v Speaker 1>so big and powerful late in the game, Um, when

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:01.279
<v Speaker 1>when defenders sometimes can be little more fatigued and tired,

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:04.840
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he just runs through tackles and uh,

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:13.839
<v Speaker 1>um it was just well blocked, great runs that record

0:02:14.639 --> 0:02:21.960
<v Speaker 1>last weekend. Yeah, it's he's got playing with a lot

0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>of confidence right now. And uh, you know he's he's

0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>he has confidence and that's that's that's uh, that's what

0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:30.639
<v Speaker 1>you want out of your kicker. Um. You know, obviously

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we got to do a better job, you know, obviously

0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>when we get down inside that thirty yard line. But um,

0:02:36.040 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, three points come away with three points with

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:41.400
<v Speaker 1>him big leg. UH really have no hesitation putting him

0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:53.280
<v Speaker 1>out there in those in those longer, longer kick situations. Yeah,

0:02:53.320 --> 0:02:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's tremendous, you know, and it's really um, not

0:02:56.320 --> 0:02:58.600
<v Speaker 1>only the runners, but the offensive line and and when

0:02:58.639 --> 0:03:01.000
<v Speaker 1>I can see them and they're looking their eyes, when

0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.320
<v Speaker 1>they're looking to the sidelines for for uh you know,

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:06.239
<v Speaker 1>like let's go, let's keep that thing rolling. Um, it

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 1>makes you know, it makes my job as a play

0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:10.839
<v Speaker 1>caller a little bit easier just just just feed him again.

0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:13.120
<v Speaker 1>So it's great for that. But you know, again the

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>credit goes the offensive line, the tight ends, not the

0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>first half. Um. Again, different game, different circumstance, and uh

0:03:25.760 --> 0:03:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I was right before the half um just decision to

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 1>punt bottom line mine. Um, I don't think it takes

0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:41.200
<v Speaker 1>off of mine. But but uh, you know, it definitely

0:03:41.240 --> 0:03:43.960
<v Speaker 1>helps the overall execution of the offense. I think it

0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.760
<v Speaker 1>opens up a lot of things, you know, um in

0:03:46.840 --> 0:03:50.320
<v Speaker 1>the passing game as well. But uh yeah, the running game,

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>you know is something that uh, um we feel comfortable

0:03:53.720 --> 0:03:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in doing and uh we just got to continue to

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:02.480
<v Speaker 1>uh to execute it each week years and this year

0:04:02.720 --> 0:04:04.880
<v Speaker 1>was like you're winning those games on the row where

0:04:04.880 --> 0:04:08.320
<v Speaker 1>you're winning close games. What does that mean for his team?

0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, you guys to be able to do that. Um, yeah,

0:04:11.560 --> 0:04:14.040
<v Speaker 1>it's it's they're learning. They're learning from from last year,

0:04:14.080 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>they're learning from the even this year. Um, even though

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.240
<v Speaker 1>we're you know, four games in. Um, this team is

0:04:20.279 --> 0:04:24.520
<v Speaker 1>really beginning to to believe in themselves, believing each other. Um,

0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's never never really one assa. I mean

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.240
<v Speaker 1>it's you know, the offense is bailing out the defense.

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 1>Defense is bailing out the offense, and and special teams

0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:36.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, sometimes bails out everybody. And that's what they're learning.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.440
<v Speaker 1>They're learning to play together, and they're coming together and

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's exciting and uh it's fun to watch. I

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>thought he had an efficient game. Start a little slow, um,

0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:47.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, a couple of completing I think he was

0:04:47.040 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>one of seven to start the game. Um, but but

0:04:49.240 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>caught fire. Um, you know, Urch made a couple of

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>big catches in there. Nelson was explosive. We had a

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 1>couple of missuses to Tori, but but you know, well

0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll make those down the stretch. All Sean got involved,

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:02.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and and really he did, he did

0:05:02.120 --> 0:05:04.520
<v Speaker 1>an outstanding John have to throw back to twenty nine.

0:05:04.680 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, in the first half, believe it was the

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.600
<v Speaker 1>first half, what a what a tremendous play, you know.

0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:11.520
<v Speaker 1>And that's the type of guy that that Carson is

0:05:11.600 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>and and he's tough, stand in the pocket, take hits

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.920
<v Speaker 1>um and uh and and bounce back up and had

0:05:17.920 --> 0:05:26.520
<v Speaker 1>a had another another good game today. But in the

0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:35.159
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarters four yeah, um, you know, we got eliminate

0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the big play defensively, Uh. We had a couple of

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:39.840
<v Speaker 1>penalties uh in the second half today that that that

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>kept kept them on the field. And we just gotta

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.000
<v Speaker 1>learned to you know, play play a little better. Um,

0:05:45.839 --> 0:05:47.920
<v Speaker 1>probably a little more discipline in those situations, you know,

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>from a defensive standpoint. But listen, overall, they they're creating takeaways,

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.080
<v Speaker 1>you know for our offense. They're putting our offense in

0:05:54.160 --> 0:05:57.440
<v Speaker 1>good situations. Um. And and they're gonna have games like

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that and and that's where, um, that's where you want

0:05:59.920 --> 0:06:01.920
<v Speaker 1>to see our offense take over and finish the game

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:08.720
<v Speaker 1>like we did today. I think the players um really

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>responded well, uh in in both of their absences and

0:06:11.839 --> 0:06:15.600
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, two tremendous players obviously to uh

0:06:15.680 --> 0:06:18.280
<v Speaker 1>to to uh to not have out there. But the

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:21.720
<v Speaker 1>guys are again, the guys are resilient, their their warriors. UM,

0:06:22.240 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>great win today on the road, and UM, you know

0:06:33.279 --> 0:06:35.880
<v Speaker 1>it's it was. It was a tough situation. UM. You know,

0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.440
<v Speaker 1>we struggled to once we got down there to really

0:06:38.480 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>punch it in. We had a couple of throws, a

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>couple of runs. UM, and they were just in there

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>in their normal you know, red zone low red zone

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.680
<v Speaker 1>defense and it was just an inside zone play, um,

0:06:48.960 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, running it over to to lane side and

0:06:51.120 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Peters did a great job backside cut off

0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.360
<v Speaker 1>and um you know wind del dove in. So I

0:06:56.440 --> 0:07:01.800
<v Speaker 1>just did a well executed play. Just that, Um that

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:04.240
<v Speaker 1>they're believing, they're beginning to believe in one another. Um.

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.960
<v Speaker 1>The resiliency of the football team. They're learning how to

0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:10.600
<v Speaker 1>finish uh you know, um to be able to win

0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>on the road. UM, they're learning all of that, and

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>UM you know, uh, just just the way the way

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.200
<v Speaker 1>the offense today, you know I was able to finish.

0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.400
<v Speaker 1>I just can congratulated them on that last drive and

0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>the way to finish the game. The UM, the benefit

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:35.320
<v Speaker 1>of well they each have, they each kind of compliment

0:07:35.400 --> 0:07:38.200
<v Speaker 1>each other in the sense of, uh, you know, um,

0:07:38.640 --> 0:07:42.240
<v Speaker 1>whiz Whiz could be a better you know, pass blocker,

0:07:42.520 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>chance could be a better run blocker, vice versa. We

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:46.960
<v Speaker 1>just we just got strengths and weaknesses on both guys

0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>and and just want them both to play there. Plus

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:52.440
<v Speaker 1>it keeps them fresh in there. Um and uh, I

0:07:52.520 --> 0:07:55.040
<v Speaker 1>thought both of one played. I played well. Obviously you

0:07:55.240 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>evaluate the film on the way home and and and

0:07:57.320 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>check that out. But um, the more we keep that

0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.800
<v Speaker 1>rotation and keep those guys in there, it didn't it

0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.720
<v Speaker 1>didn't seem to uh to mess up any continuity whatsoever.

0:08:05.760 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>And that offensive line, yeah, I think so. Um, you know,

0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:19.000
<v Speaker 1>I think you're always learning, you know, each and every week,

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>and uh you know, I'll learn again from from this

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:24.760
<v Speaker 1>game looking at it on tape and again just situationally,

0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:27.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, putting, putting the team in good good spots,

0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, and and um, but yeah, I think I think, uh,

0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you're always learning, um, and uh something I'll

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>continue to do, you know, each week and uh and

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 1>get better and get ready for another another good test

0:08:39.040 --> 0:08:53.960
<v Speaker 1>next week. All right, thanks guys. Right, something
