WEBVTT - Press Pass: Malcolm Jenkins

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:22.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, you were talking about after the game about how

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.720
<v Speaker 1>the coach kind of you know, I was talking about

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>these last five games and seeing what teams made of

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:29.960
<v Speaker 1>and wants to be here next year. How do you

0:00:30.000 --> 0:00:32.160
<v Speaker 1>think the players will response. I know you were saying

0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>it would be interesting to see the leadership aspect of that. Yeah, well,

0:00:35.479 --> 0:00:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I think a lot of that was obviously after a

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:41.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of frustration, and you know, directly after the game

0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:44.919
<v Speaker 1>today was a lot a lot more positive note, just

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>talking about having fun, um, paying attention to details, understanding

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that you know, the formula is simple and as when um,

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>and then just kind of detailing throughout the week how

0:00:55.920 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>we go about doing that. UM. So I think it's

0:00:59.240 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>one of those things where you know, everybody had an

0:01:02.160 --> 0:01:04.440
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to take a critical look at themselves and what

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>they bring to the team and what their role is

0:01:07.360 --> 0:01:10.920
<v Speaker 1>on the team, and um, you know, it's it's that

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:13.440
<v Speaker 1>that harsh reality also that you know, every time you

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:15.399
<v Speaker 1>step into this building and step on the field and

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>that camera gets turned on, you're being evaluated and that's

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.880
<v Speaker 1>everybody in the building. So just kind of that that

0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:24.119
<v Speaker 1>friendly reminder I think, um, you know, get gets guys

0:01:24.160 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>motivated you're a veteran, but you're a veteran with the

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>long term deal. Um for some other guys who who

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>don't have that, do you think the Eagles are going

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>to pivot here? Do we evaluate for the future? We

0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 1>think they're still commitment to the next You know, I

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>think we're fully committed until til we're completely out of it. Um.

0:01:42.520 --> 0:01:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I think we're given everything. We got the push to

0:01:45.480 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to the postseason. I think obviously we know, um, we

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>have to win and probably need a little bit of help,

0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>but um, we still got a shot. And so I

0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>think right now all our resources and time are being

0:01:57.600 --> 0:02:01.880
<v Speaker 1>put into winning. Watch the film or the package games.

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:03.960
<v Speaker 1>Did you come away thinking, all right, Aaron Rodgers and

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>the first game of the year, and there was nothing

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.280
<v Speaker 1>we could have done the stock or did you feel

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>like there was more of the defense could have done

0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot more. Let's say, I mean somewhere in between.

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, Aaron Rodgers is always in the conversation of

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:22.000
<v Speaker 1>top quarterbacks for a reason, and he made some throws

0:02:22.080 --> 0:02:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that were just Aaron Rodger throws. Um, you talk about

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>the touchdown or I think the second touchdown and he

0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>through on Nolan where the ball sprite passes, figure tips.

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:35.200
<v Speaker 1>That's just a great throw. Not much more. We can

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.200
<v Speaker 1>do same one with the big player. Had to leotism.

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:41.280
<v Speaker 1>But there were definitely plays that we saw where you know,

0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.880
<v Speaker 1>we could have helped ourselves. Whether talk about a couple

0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>of penalties we had, you talk about a couple of

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:51.040
<v Speaker 1>times we miscommunicated and didn't get lined up, and that

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.480
<v Speaker 1>was early in the game. Just one or two players

0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>here there. In a game like that where the quarterback

0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.720
<v Speaker 1>is hot, they're they're kind of nickel and diamonds, you

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>just want to be able to get one stop, one,

0:03:01.560 --> 0:03:04.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, one negative play for or for their for

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>their offense. And you know, there were a few players

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>here there where we felt like we could have gained that. UM,

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>but you know, it's it's tough. Coach. I just came

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.440
<v Speaker 1>back with what I was saying. The coach was saying

0:03:14.440 --> 0:03:17.320
<v Speaker 1>that there is a little bit of rebuilding going on,

0:03:17.360 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>which was I guess for every team. But I mean,

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>how hard is that for some players to accept? Yeah,

0:03:23.480 --> 0:03:26.200
<v Speaker 1>that's uh, I'm not here to rebuild. That's that's how

0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>his job. We're here to play and to win. Everybody

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>in this building has been has been UM. Paid and

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>conversated not to just occupy seat, but to win. And

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:41.280
<v Speaker 1>so our mindset is that we're trying to win with

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>the guys that we have here to people we have

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in the building right now. We'll let the people upstairs,

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, figure out if we're building or what we're

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>doing from you know, past this time. The first four

0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.960
<v Speaker 1>losses were by seven points or fewer, and each one,

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:56.520
<v Speaker 1>you guys felt you had the chance. That these past

0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>two losses haven't been that way. Do you see regression

0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:01.920
<v Speaker 1>with this team or or what do you think the

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>guys are storing them right down? Um? I mean, you know,

0:04:07.160 --> 0:04:09.040
<v Speaker 1>a loss is a loss. Said that the formula has

0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.840
<v Speaker 1>been the same. I think the last two um losses

0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of just you know, being in Seattle is just a

0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 1>tough team that you can't make mistakes against. And then

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the same thing with the Packers. Um, you know they're

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.680
<v Speaker 1>a good team. They they lost for straight but in

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.400
<v Speaker 1>those four you know, their their offense was still playing

0:04:26.400 --> 0:04:28.120
<v Speaker 1>really good and their defense just happened to be giving

0:04:28.200 --> 0:04:30.599
<v Speaker 1>up a lot of points. Their defense showed up and

0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.640
<v Speaker 1>offense just showed up like they normally do. So that's

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a it's a good packer team. That's a little bit deceiving. UM,

0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.680
<v Speaker 1>and so of those things happen. But I think I

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>don't think we regress. I just think we're kind of

0:04:42.360 --> 0:04:46.240
<v Speaker 1>doing the same stuff. If you look at the games, UM,

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of coming up commonality when you talk

0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>about what the mistakes were, penalties, a couple of plays

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.320
<v Speaker 1>here or there, UM, and all of a sudden that

0:04:55.360 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the game flops. ME. Welcome with you. When you up

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:06.080
<v Speaker 1>down into the slot, our team's attacking you, guys from

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.240
<v Speaker 1>the standpoint of you, not if you playing in the

0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>slot and going after Jaylen. UM. If I'm not at

0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>the slot, I'm at the safety spot. So I don't

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:22.360
<v Speaker 1>think they would UM change where they're attacking. So I

0:05:22.400 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>think the UM. No, I don't think they're singling anybody out.

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We rotate corner so you'll see Leotis Um Nolan and Jaylen.

0:05:33.839 --> 0:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>We're talking about Jayleen Watkins or jenlal Mills. Oh oh no,

0:05:38.279 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean I think I think Jayleen played this is

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:42.520
<v Speaker 1>probably the best game he's played for US. He gave

0:05:42.600 --> 0:05:45.839
<v Speaker 1>up one third down early, but other than that, UM,

0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and even that one was really a contested throw. UM.

0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Other than that, you solid came up, shows up in

0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 1>a run, he's he's made tackles for us, getting guys

0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:59.479
<v Speaker 1>lined up. UM so now he hasn't you know. I

0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:01.560
<v Speaker 1>think that was one of the things that early in

0:06:01.600 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 1>the season we wanted to, you know, see how he

0:06:04.680 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>felt in a more expanded role. Once I moved to

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 1>the nickel. He's been getting better and better every week.

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.599
<v Speaker 1>If quarterbacks can start getting the ball quicker and quicker

0:06:12.800 --> 0:06:15.919
<v Speaker 1>to come back you guys pass rush, what are some

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:20.599
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you guys can do to counter that. Um, Well,

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:24.719
<v Speaker 1>it just depends what what defense we're in. Um you know,

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:27.880
<v Speaker 1>sometimes we're in zones, it's hard to take away some

0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:29.760
<v Speaker 1>of those quick throws. But when you're in man and

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.600
<v Speaker 1>man or single high, you gotta win at the line

0:06:32.600 --> 0:06:36.120
<v Speaker 1>of screamage and take away those first or second reads. UM,

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.480
<v Speaker 1>so that you give your rush a little bit of time.

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, that's a common theme where you play.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:44.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, we got two teams in our division that

0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>do the same thing, with the Giants and the Redskins.

0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>The balls out of their hands quick. It's a lot

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.520
<v Speaker 1>of quick throws in their Their pass game is an

0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:54.839
<v Speaker 1>extension of their running game. You know where they're getting

0:06:55.120 --> 0:06:58.000
<v Speaker 1>three or four yards here there, they're staying ahead of

0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the sticks and they're still running the clock. So UM,

0:07:01.279 --> 0:07:03.280
<v Speaker 1>you know that's something that we'll have to continue to do.

0:07:03.800 --> 0:07:06.240
<v Speaker 1>UM is when when we when we're in man and

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:08.280
<v Speaker 1>we're in single highs, when at the line of scrimmage,

0:07:08.720 --> 0:07:11.440
<v Speaker 1>give our rush from time and we're end zones. Tried

0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:14.000
<v Speaker 1>its best we can to get those quick matches, UM,

0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and it maybe you know, add a couple tools, or

0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:18.800
<v Speaker 1>we can trick the quarterback. If you had you'd laid

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:22.320
<v Speaker 1>out the formula necessary for this team to be successful.

0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:27.640
<v Speaker 1>UM is throwing the ball thirty five plus times going

0:07:27.680 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>against you know that formula? And do you have conversations

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:35.520
<v Speaker 1>with with Doug about you know, making sure that there's

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the necessary balance so that the defense is put in

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the right position. I don't talk to Doug about what

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>they do offensively. UM, I felt like our offense was

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they're doing what I felt like. I felt

0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.760
<v Speaker 1>really good about what they did in this past game,

0:07:50.840 --> 0:07:54.200
<v Speaker 1>honestly because defensively, we gave up two scores right out

0:07:54.200 --> 0:07:56.640
<v Speaker 1>of the gate, and the offense drove down the field

0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.120
<v Speaker 1>score UM, and then put us in position to really

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>stay within that game until we kind of kind of

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.360
<v Speaker 1>got our bearings. So I felt good about it. It's

0:08:04.440 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>tough when you're missing a running back. Um. You know,

0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:11.520
<v Speaker 1>obviously we're shuffling around some receivers. So we understand. Defensively,

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:15.000
<v Speaker 1>we don't expect our offense to go out there and

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>put up you know, twenty seven points. Um, that's just

0:08:19.240 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>it's just not where we are. UM. But we feel

0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.960
<v Speaker 1>like our offense does enough to give us if we

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.640
<v Speaker 1>do our jobs defensively, our offense gives us enough to

0:08:27.680 --> 0:08:32.040
<v Speaker 1>win these games. UM. So I think they can stay patient.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.120
<v Speaker 1>They can whether it's throwing the ball. I think everybody

0:08:35.160 --> 0:08:37.920
<v Speaker 1>has at this point, you know, one hundred percent confidence

0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.959
<v Speaker 1>in Carson. The biggest thing is is just taking care

0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:46.720
<v Speaker 1>of the football. And you know, for us defensively, third

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>down was a big problem. So we didn't give our

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>offense many opportunities to actually put up some points. And

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.120
<v Speaker 1>then we also hang gotten the takeaway in the last

0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640
<v Speaker 1>two games. UM. And those are things that we've done

0:08:56.720 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 1>really well in the past that have given our offense

0:08:59.120 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>enough opportunities that eventually they make those plays and we

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>put up points. UM. So we don't do our part,

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it's really tough on the offense. Thank you. H
