1 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 1: Uh, better better, So we're hopeful he'll be he'll be 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,719 Speaker 1: ready to go Thursday. In the event that he isn't, though, 3 00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:13,319 Speaker 1: we made up you know, practice squad move um with 4 00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: Marshall Colins, so brought back a kicker that we're familiar 5 00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:22,000 Speaker 1: with game day, I guess, you know, as as late 6 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,599 Speaker 1: as we have to. So I have to wait and see. 7 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,240 Speaker 1: But got a little leg injury. We'll just see how 8 00:00:28,400 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: how quickly he can come back. This is the challenge 9 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: when you play a Thursday night game. As you might 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: expect in our world right now, it's Thursday, and as 11 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 1: we get ready for the game, which really it's really 12 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:43,000 Speaker 1: like Friday, but Thursday in terms of preparation, when their 13 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: body clocks tell them it's Tuesday. And so that that 14 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,239 Speaker 1: that's the challenge with the Thursday night games, and we 15 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: all have to you know, we all have to embrace 16 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,640 Speaker 1: it because we all have one. And so our guys 17 00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: have really done a good job of getting themselves back. 18 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: You know, that was a physical game and there's wear 19 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 1: and tear that goes with that, and um, they've done 20 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:08,440 Speaker 1: a a job at this point. Well, it's important because 21 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: a lot of what you'd like to do at full speed. 22 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: You have to do and walk through settings. That's just 23 00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,959 Speaker 1: that's just part of getting their bodies right because it's 24 00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: important that you have a confident, energized team on on 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 1: on game day. So you just don't have the time, 26 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 1: so you move forward around you you're lost something. Yeah, no, 27 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: that's a good point. Um. I was made aware that 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 1: everybody in our division loss that that really has no 29 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: effect on us. Right now. We have to go out 30 00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: and win a game, and you know that is what 31 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: it is. But it's just another indication. And I've been 32 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,040 Speaker 1: saying it all along. You just keep playing. You never know, 33 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: you never know. I think the last two times that 34 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,680 Speaker 1: the Giants made I think there were nine and seven. 35 00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,440 Speaker 1: So we we just gotta keep playing. And these guys 36 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,000 Speaker 1: love to play the game. It's you know, it's it's 37 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: their livelihood. But they certainly play it with great emotion 38 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 1: and great passion, and they just keep playing. And as 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: we get better. I think we played better last week. 40 00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: We need to find sixty three more yards somewhere to 41 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: get the win, but we played better and we've got 42 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: to continue on that path and then you know, eventually 43 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 1: it'll crack you. He's got ye well, I think two things. 44 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: Number one, I think you burn the ships on every game, 45 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: so whoever can play place, and then you reassess when 46 00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: the game is over. And then you know, Evan's been 47 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 1: out for a while, but he's gonna be out here 48 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,640 Speaker 1: at full speed today, so we're hopeful he'll be be 49 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:52,079 Speaker 1: ready to go. And so you know, you, I think 50 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: he gets yourself in trouble. And I don't think it's 51 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: very genuine to tell your team we're gonna worry more 52 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,239 Speaker 1: about down the road. I don't know if that makes 53 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: I don't have to answer your question. We've put all 54 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 1: our focus on the game we're gonna play and all 55 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: our urgency coaches Brian Mallick, is he going to be 56 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,400 Speaker 1: a swing tackles in it? Ah, Yeah, he'll He'll be 57 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,679 Speaker 1: our swing tackle. And Brian is the guy we've we've 58 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: liked him all along. He's been with us now for 59 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: a while, so he knows what we're doing. Um, he's played, 60 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,720 Speaker 1: you know, he's played in games for Detroit and we 61 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 1: like what we've seen in practice and he's gotten his 62 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,680 Speaker 1: promotion and particularly offensively in some of the bigger plays. 63 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 1: What did you like Sunday that you can hope to 64 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: carry over. We completed him, you know, we completed him. 65 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 1: I think that's you know, levity once in a while 66 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 1: is good. I don't know. UM. I think the important 67 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,160 Speaker 1: thing is we always try to, you know, to get 68 00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: big plays and sometimes you don't, um, you know, and 69 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: there's sometimes you have to march the ball. But it 70 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 1: was good. You know. We took some shots and we 71 00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:59,320 Speaker 1: hit on him. We had one more right where O'Dell 72 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: had the ball in his hand ends in the end 73 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,160 Speaker 1: zone on the one, so you know, we but we 74 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 1: were seeing a coverage that allowed that to happen, and 75 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: and our guys did a better job with execute and 76 00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: protecting and doing all the things necessarily in that success 77 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: breed confidence that you can do it again and again. 78 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,720 Speaker 1: I think. So. I think what we're confident about is 79 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: that we we got the ball across the end zone. 80 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: You know, we scored, and I think that's where you 81 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 1: build confidence. And there needs to be an urgency, you know, 82 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: your charge with scoring every time you take the field 83 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: on offense, and that's that's what you want. That's where 84 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: if you're gonna be greedy about things, you want to 85 00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 1: score points. You guys are honestly may want to change 86 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,080 Speaker 1: with this offense last year. Do you go back and 87 00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,880 Speaker 1: look at those games? We do. I mean we look 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: at recent history, certainly against the scheme. You know, I think, um, 89 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 1: you know, they're an outstanding team. They you know, they 90 00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: want a Super Bowl. So yeah, we look. We look 91 00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: at things that were successful a year ago. We as 92 00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 1: coaches are all fond of plays at work, you know, 93 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: and dependent on who you play, you know, there's there's 94 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,240 Speaker 1: good ideas. There's a lot of creative minds in the 95 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:07,600 Speaker 1: in the NFL, and so you're always looking for something 96 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 1: that we call it it doesn't get a card in 97 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 1: other words, something that they don't practice every in every game. 98 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: You do that and then sometimes they work, sometimes they don't. 99 00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,600 Speaker 1: You can say that I don't go to be that 100 00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: you put them on a pitch count. Do you just 101 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 1: kind of let it, plip the game on board and 102 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: see how it comes burn the ships, if they get 103 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: a jersey, they're gonna go, they're gonna play, and then 104 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: we manage it and keep track of it. Um, but 105 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 1: not necessarily a pitch count. And games play out differently, 106 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: and so if you're up, we expect that you can 107 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:44,480 Speaker 1: take a full load. And if during the game there's 108 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,159 Speaker 1: places where we gotta give guys a break, we do. 109 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 1: So what do you remember about Doug Peterson as a 110 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: quarterback and a player from Yeah, I know a lot 111 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: about Doug. You know, I was I was a young 112 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 1: assistant in Philly when we brought him in as a player, 113 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: and he really was the uh, the bridge to McNabb playing. 114 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: You know, drafted McNabb and Doug played the first half 115 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: of the season. Uh, did a really good job. He 116 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 1: you know, he was with Andy in Green Bay, so 117 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 1: he was able to add kind of the background to 118 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 1: the stuff we were trying to do. He did an 119 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,599 Speaker 1: excellent job of working with with Donovan at that time. 120 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:22,280 Speaker 1: And then you know, just we've we've kind of maintained 121 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: a professional friendship. You know, through the years he's had 122 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,359 Speaker 1: success and you know, to his credit he helped his 123 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: team win a Super Bowl and how as a quarterback. Yeah, 124 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400 Speaker 1: what impress did you about partnering clience and already lunch 125 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 1: you did Franks with part No, it's the same offense. 126 00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: I think you know the one thing that what impresses me, 127 00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: it's so number one, it's the same offense, very similar 128 00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,400 Speaker 1: in nature, and I see a hybrid of things that 129 00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:55,080 Speaker 1: we did the three years I was there with Chip. 130 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: In terms of the run game, they have Jeff Scotland there, 131 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,000 Speaker 1: who's their line coach, and so there's and there's some 132 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,920 Speaker 1: other coaches. There's some carry over. So I see some 133 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 1: of those same concepts. But then you also see the 134 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: things that Doug did in UH at the Chiefs, and 135 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: you know, they try to use utilize their player's strengths. 136 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,600 Speaker 1: They throw the ball to the tight ends a lot 137 00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: zach Ertz and got it and um. In terms of 138 00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 1: the quarterback, you know, I think I think we were 139 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: all a big fan of Carson when he came out. 140 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 1: He's very intelligent, he's very competitive. Um. I admire the 141 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,040 Speaker 1: fact he's very genuine in his approach. I don't know 142 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: him per se, but he's it seems to me like 143 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 1: there's a humility there in a competitive spirit that I'm 144 00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 1: sure as contagious for their team. Um. You know, and 145 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,720 Speaker 1: he can make plays off schedule because he's a big 146 00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,280 Speaker 1: physical guy. You know, I call him sixty yard checkdowns. 147 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240 Speaker 1: You know, it just turns into just flat chaos. He's 148 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,480 Speaker 1: running around and he can locate a guy down the 149 00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:57,760 Speaker 1: field and make a big play. And so, Um, I 150 00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,000 Speaker 1: think that's what he is as a player, at least 151 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: from my perspective, we gotta get a lot of room. 152 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Not that I want to cut you off different styles 153 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 1: of leadership. Gayer was the sort of that processing absolutely 154 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: absolutely and to your point, Um, I spent a few 155 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 1: minutes with him, sitting with him on the plane after 156 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: the game. I really think some of your younger players 157 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,200 Speaker 1: can be your best leaders. And in the case of 158 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 1: se Quon, he's doing everything that you would want to 159 00:08:39,280 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: see as a coach. You know, he displays you know, 160 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 1: he's a lot like Carson Wentz, who I just talked about. 161 00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,160 Speaker 1: He displays humility. He says the right thing. But when 162 00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:52,680 Speaker 1: he says it, you, I think, and you all write 163 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: about it and report on it, don't you sense a 164 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: genuine nature to what he says.
