Speaker 1: Yeah, you were talking about after the game about how
Speaker 1: the coach kind of you know, I was talking about
Speaker 1: these last five games and seeing what teams made of
Speaker 1: and wants to be here next year. How do you
Speaker 1: think the players will response. I know you were saying
Speaker 1: it would be interesting to see the leadership aspect of that. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that was obviously after a
Speaker 1: lot of frustration, and you know, directly after the game
Speaker 1: today was a lot a lot more positive note, just
Speaker 1: talking about having fun, um, paying attention to details, understanding
Speaker 1: that you know, the formula is simple and as when um,
Speaker 1: and then just kind of detailing throughout the week how
Speaker 1: we go about doing that. UM. So I think it's
Speaker 1: one of those things where you know, everybody had an
Speaker 1: opportunity to take a critical look at themselves and what
Speaker 1: they bring to the team and what their role is
Speaker 1: on the team, and um, you know, it's it's that
Speaker 1: that harsh reality also that you know, every time you
Speaker 1: step into this building and step on the field and
Speaker 1: that camera gets turned on, you're being evaluated and that's
Speaker 1: everybody in the building. So just kind of that that
Speaker 1: friendly reminder I think, um, you know, get gets guys
Speaker 1: motivated you're a veteran, but you're a veteran with the
Speaker 1: long term deal. Um for some other guys who who
Speaker 1: don't have that, do you think the Eagles are going
Speaker 1: to pivot here? Do we evaluate for the future? We
Speaker 1: think they're still commitment to the next You know, I
Speaker 1: think we're fully committed until til we're completely out of it. Um.
Speaker 1: I think we're given everything. We got the push to
Speaker 1: to the postseason. I think obviously we know, um, we
Speaker 1: have to win and probably need a little bit of help,
Speaker 1: but um, we still got a shot. And so I
Speaker 1: think right now all our resources and time are being
Speaker 1: put into winning. Watch the film or the package games.
Speaker 1: Did you come away thinking, all right, Aaron Rodgers and
Speaker 1: the first game of the year, and there was nothing
Speaker 1: we could have done the stock or did you feel
Speaker 1: like there was more of the defense could have done
Speaker 1: a lot more. Let's say, I mean somewhere in between.
Speaker 1: You know, Aaron Rodgers is always in the conversation of
Speaker 1: top quarterbacks for a reason, and he made some throws
Speaker 1: that were just Aaron Rodger throws. Um, you talk about
Speaker 1: the touchdown or I think the second touchdown and he
Speaker 1: through on Nolan where the ball sprite passes, figure tips.
Speaker 1: That's just a great throw. Not much more. We can
Speaker 1: do same one with the big player. Had to leotism.
Speaker 1: But there were definitely plays that we saw where you know,
Speaker 1: we could have helped ourselves. Whether talk about a couple
Speaker 1: of penalties we had, you talk about a couple of
Speaker 1: times we miscommunicated and didn't get lined up, and that
Speaker 1: was early in the game. Just one or two players
Speaker 1: here there. In a game like that where the quarterback
Speaker 1: is hot, they're they're kind of nickel and diamonds, you
Speaker 1: just want to be able to get one stop, one,
Speaker 1: you know, one negative play for or for their for
Speaker 1: their offense. And you know, there were a few players
Speaker 1: here there where we felt like we could have gained that. UM,
Speaker 1: but you know, it's it's tough. Coach. I just came
Speaker 1: back with what I was saying. The coach was saying
Speaker 1: that there is a little bit of rebuilding going on,
Speaker 1: which was I guess for every team. But I mean,
Speaker 1: how hard is that for some players to accept? Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's uh, I'm not here to rebuild. That's that's how
Speaker 1: his job. We're here to play and to win. Everybody
Speaker 1: in this building has been has been UM. Paid and
Speaker 1: conversated not to just occupy seat, but to win. And
Speaker 1: so our mindset is that we're trying to win with
Speaker 1: the guys that we have here to people we have
Speaker 1: in the building right now. We'll let the people upstairs,
Speaker 1: you know, figure out if we're building or what we're
Speaker 1: doing from you know, past this time. The first four
Speaker 1: losses were by seven points or fewer, and each one,
Speaker 1: you guys felt you had the chance. That these past
Speaker 1: two losses haven't been that way. Do you see regression
Speaker 1: with this team or or what do you think the
Speaker 1: guys are storing them right down? Um? I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: a loss is a loss. Said that the formula has
Speaker 1: been the same. I think the last two um losses
Speaker 1: of just you know, being in Seattle is just a
Speaker 1: tough team that you can't make mistakes against. And then
Speaker 1: the same thing with the Packers. Um, you know they're
Speaker 1: a good team. They they lost for straight but in
Speaker 1: those four you know, their their offense was still playing
Speaker 1: really good and their defense just happened to be giving
Speaker 1: up a lot of points. Their defense showed up and
Speaker 1: offense just showed up like they normally do. So that's
Speaker 1: a it's a good packer team. That's a little bit deceiving. UM,
Speaker 1: and so of those things happen. But I think I
Speaker 1: don't think we regress. I just think we're kind of
Speaker 1: doing the same stuff. If you look at the games, UM,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of coming up commonality when you talk
Speaker 1: about what the mistakes were, penalties, a couple of plays
Speaker 1: here or there, UM, and all of a sudden that
Speaker 1: the game flops. ME. Welcome with you. When you up
Speaker 1: down into the slot, our team's attacking you, guys from
Speaker 1: the standpoint of you, not if you playing in the
Speaker 1: slot and going after Jaylen. UM. If I'm not at
Speaker 1: the slot, I'm at the safety spot. So I don't
Speaker 1: think they would UM change where they're attacking. So I
Speaker 1: think the UM. No, I don't think they're singling anybody out.
Speaker 1: We rotate corner so you'll see Leotis Um Nolan and Jaylen.
Speaker 1: We're talking about Jayleen Watkins or jenlal Mills. Oh oh no,
Speaker 1: I mean I think I think Jayleen played this is
Speaker 1: probably the best game he's played for US. He gave
Speaker 1: up one third down early, but other than that, UM,
Speaker 1: and even that one was really a contested throw. UM.
Speaker 1: Other than that, you solid came up, shows up in
Speaker 1: a run, he's he's made tackles for us, getting guys
Speaker 1: lined up. UM so now he hasn't you know. I
Speaker 1: think that was one of the things that early in
Speaker 1: the season we wanted to, you know, see how he
Speaker 1: felt in a more expanded role. Once I moved to
Speaker 1: the nickel. He's been getting better and better every week.
Speaker 1: If quarterbacks can start getting the ball quicker and quicker
Speaker 1: to come back you guys pass rush, what are some
Speaker 1: of the things that you guys can do to counter that. Um, Well,
Speaker 1: it just depends what what defense we're in. Um you know,
Speaker 1: sometimes we're in zones, it's hard to take away some
Speaker 1: of those quick throws. But when you're in man and
Speaker 1: man or single high, you gotta win at the line
Speaker 1: of screamage and take away those first or second reads. UM,
Speaker 1: so that you give your rush a little bit of time.
Speaker 1: But you know, that's a common theme where you play.
Speaker 1: You know, we got two teams in our division that
Speaker 1: do the same thing, with the Giants and the Redskins.
Speaker 1: The balls out of their hands quick. It's a lot
Speaker 1: of quick throws in their Their pass game is an
Speaker 1: extension of their running game. You know where they're getting
Speaker 1: three or four yards here there, they're staying ahead of
Speaker 1: the sticks and they're still running the clock. So UM,
Speaker 1: you know that's something that we'll have to continue to do.
Speaker 1: UM is when when we when we're in man and
Speaker 1: we're in single highs, when at the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 1: give our rush from time and we're end zones. Tried
Speaker 1: its best we can to get those quick matches, UM,
Speaker 1: and it maybe you know, add a couple tools, or
Speaker 1: we can trick the quarterback. If you had you'd laid
Speaker 1: out the formula necessary for this team to be successful.
Speaker 1: UM is throwing the ball thirty five plus times going
Speaker 1: against you know that formula? And do you have conversations
Speaker 1: with with Doug about you know, making sure that there's
Speaker 1: the necessary balance so that the defense is put in
Speaker 1: the right position. I don't talk to Doug about what
Speaker 1: they do offensively. UM, I felt like our offense was
Speaker 1: I mean, they're doing what I felt like. I felt
Speaker 1: really good about what they did in this past game,
Speaker 1: honestly because defensively, we gave up two scores right out
Speaker 1: of the gate, and the offense drove down the field
Speaker 1: score UM, and then put us in position to really
Speaker 1: stay within that game until we kind of kind of
Speaker 1: got our bearings. So I felt good about it. It's
Speaker 1: tough when you're missing a running back. Um. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously we're shuffling around some receivers. So we understand. Defensively,
Speaker 1: we don't expect our offense to go out there and
Speaker 1: put up you know, twenty seven points. Um, that's just
Speaker 1: it's just not where we are. UM. But we feel
Speaker 1: like our offense does enough to give us if we
Speaker 1: do our jobs defensively, our offense gives us enough to
Speaker 1: win these games. UM. So I think they can stay patient.
Speaker 1: They can whether it's throwing the ball. I think everybody
Speaker 1: has at this point, you know, one hundred percent confidence
Speaker 1: in Carson. The biggest thing is is just taking care
Speaker 1: of the football. And you know, for us defensively, third
Speaker 1: down was a big problem. So we didn't give our
Speaker 1: offense many opportunities to actually put up some points. And
Speaker 1: then we also hang gotten the takeaway in the last
Speaker 1: two games. UM. And those are things that we've done
Speaker 1: really well in the past that have given our offense
Speaker 1: enough opportunities that eventually they make those plays and we
Speaker 1: put up points. UM. So we don't do our part,
Speaker 1: it's really tough on the offense. Thank you. H
