WEBVTT - Press Conference: Doug Pederson November 18

0:00:00.800 --> 0:00:05.440
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's hard. Well, it was tough when

0:00:05.480 --> 0:00:08.559
<v Speaker 1>when things kind of started to spiral. Um, I will

0:00:08.600 --> 0:00:10.880
<v Speaker 1>tell you this, the guys continue to battle, continue to fight,

0:00:10.960 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of resiliency in this group. Um, even battle

0:00:13.760 --> 0:00:15.800
<v Speaker 1>through some of the injuries, some of the lost players today.

0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the mistakes that were made against good,

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.440
<v Speaker 1>fault good football teams, you just can't you just can't do.

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:37.600
<v Speaker 1>Where do we go from here? You know what, we

0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>come to work on Tuesday and we roll up our

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.480
<v Speaker 1>sleeves and we go to work. And uh, this group

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>is committed to that. And I'm excited for this next

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:49.280
<v Speaker 1>few a few games that we have coming up. Listen, Um,

0:00:49.400 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, we can only control what we can control.

0:00:51.520 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I tell this these guys all the time, and and uh,

0:00:55.240 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna we're gonna come to work on Tuesday and

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.240
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna prepare. We got the giants coming in town,

0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and uh, we're excited for that opportunity. Well, you know,

0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.280
<v Speaker 1>I guess what's a little surprising is is the amount

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>of injuries keep piling up. And and that's that's something

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>that you just it's hard each week to you know, uh,

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to overcome. But you know, again. You know, it's something

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:26.120
<v Speaker 1>that we've put ourselves in this position. And um, you know,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:29.160
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's a it's a one game, one game

0:01:29.200 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 1>season each week. Uh and and and you know I trust,

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>I trust every coach, every player, uh the front office

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that we're gonna get this fixed. And and we're gonna

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, it starts with me, um and uh, we

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta do it, you know, hurry. We basically what I said, UM,

0:01:47.520 --> 0:01:49.080
<v Speaker 1>I told them not to hang their head. I told

0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.600
<v Speaker 1>him that we're gonna come to work this week. We

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.920
<v Speaker 1>got a we got a great opportunity in front of us.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.640
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna stay committed. UM. I asked them to that

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna I'm gonna lead this football team and follow

0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>me and uh. Um to every man in there, they

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:04.560
<v Speaker 1>they they embrace that. They understand that they're gonna you know,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.840
<v Speaker 1>obviously we're held accountable to the way we played today. UM,

0:02:08.919 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna look at the tape. We're gonna fix

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the mistakes and get ready for New York. There's always

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.280
<v Speaker 1>that fear, UM, But I didn't sense that with our group,

0:02:19.480 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>not at all. UM. I walked around that locker room

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.800
<v Speaker 1>on offense and defensive side, and to every man, just

0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:26.720
<v Speaker 1>told them, don't hang their head. Let's go. You know,

0:02:26.800 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>we're we're you know, we're obviously uh in a in

0:02:30.400 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>a rough spot right here. But I believe in believing

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:34.640
<v Speaker 1>those players, believing those coaches, and we'll get it fixed

0:02:37.840 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>in the first half. Score a lot of points in

0:02:41.040 --> 0:02:45.800
<v Speaker 1>this game. Yeah, I mean, there were some opportunities to

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:49.080
<v Speaker 1>do that. Um, and and elected two punt just just uh,

0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, try to try to flip the field a

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.160
<v Speaker 1>little bit and have some field position. And uh, um,

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:54.840
<v Speaker 1>I knew, I knew it was a game we're on.

0:02:54.880 --> 0:02:56.600
<v Speaker 1>There were gonna be some opportunities to do that, and

0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:00.360
<v Speaker 1>and uh we you know, just just and get it

0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>done pretty much, no as they should. We gotta play ball.

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:13.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, listen, you know, it's football, and uh you know, uh,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:15.960
<v Speaker 1>if they're gonna you know, if you we gotta tack,

0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:18.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna run it, we gotta tackle it. If they're

0:03:18.280 --> 0:03:21.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna throw it, we gotta defend it. So not at all, Um,

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>it's football. And uh I think if it was flipped

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>the other way, we do the same thing. Excuse me, Yeah,

0:03:32.040 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it's it's uh obviously, um, they're explosive. Um,

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>they're dynamic. They're they're playing, they're they're playing with a

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:41.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of continuity right now. They're they're in sync. And

0:03:41.760 --> 0:03:44.280
<v Speaker 1>and it obviously it starts with with Drew and the

0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.320
<v Speaker 1>way he handles the team in the offense. And um,

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to get to him. Number one, balls out

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:53.280
<v Speaker 1>of his hand quite quite uh quickly. And um, you

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.920
<v Speaker 1>know as as as a person that played the position

0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.000
<v Speaker 1>and obviously you know, passionate for the sport. Um, it's

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:14.240
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty special to watch somebody like that from Afar. Well,

0:04:14.280 --> 0:04:16.839
<v Speaker 1>what happened. We had a we had a shot play

0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:20.000
<v Speaker 1>called down the field, um, and uh, he was on

0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.039
<v Speaker 1>al Sean's side. The safety actually rolled over the top

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>and I think, I think, I think Wiz just got

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.919
<v Speaker 1>beat inside and then so the pressure was right on

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>him real fast before he hits the ball out. It's

0:04:33.200 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>a three step drop out of the shotgun, so it's fast.

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>It's just the protection broke down a little bit on

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:43.880
<v Speaker 1>that play. Yeah, that part of the message that it

0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:45.839
<v Speaker 1>is still just one game. I mean, maybe the score

0:04:45.920 --> 0:04:47.280
<v Speaker 1>was out of hand and you didn't want to be

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.359
<v Speaker 1>that way, but exactly right, you know, I'm not looking

0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:55.159
<v Speaker 1>past this week at all. Um, we obviously have to

0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:57.840
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, own own this game today. We got

0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.520
<v Speaker 1>to own our jobs and U you know, we gotta

0:05:00.520 --> 0:05:03.320
<v Speaker 1>get better obviously, but it's uh, it's it's a one game,

0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 1>one game in the time mentality, and we can't look

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 1>any any further past that. A lot of those obviously,

0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:15.159
<v Speaker 1>the secondary corners in particular on top of Sea. You know,

0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>it's tough. It's tough. I mean, it's you know, um,

0:05:19.760 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>you know, we we we you put it together, you

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>piece it together. We you know, we we brought guys

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.840
<v Speaker 1>up off the practice squad you know, this week to

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:28.840
<v Speaker 1>elevate their play and get them in the game. And

0:05:29.480 --> 0:05:31.040
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's it's hard when you're going against a

0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:33.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, a Hall of Fame player and Drew and

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.800
<v Speaker 1>the weapons I have on offense. It's it's a difficult task.

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>But uh, you know again, we're not gonna hang our

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:54.320
<v Speaker 1>heads and we're gonna keep keep fighting guys. Sports, Well,

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>that's the thing. I mean, you gotta stay on the field,

0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>and you gotta find ways to stay on the field. Um.

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, first play the game, we had a negative,

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:05.960
<v Speaker 1>negative rush there and then um, um, I believe the

0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:09.240
<v Speaker 1>second second play was I was incomplete and we had

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a third down, third and eleven. I mean, it's just

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>as hard to start games that way. And uh, um

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:16.120
<v Speaker 1>shot our foot early and and uh never really never

0:06:16.120 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>really kept you know, regained it after that. Looked like

0:06:18.360 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>they were up there was supposed to be on the

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>field that time. What was happening there still point Yeah,

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean you know that obviously starts with me and

0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.159
<v Speaker 1>getting the personnel in the game and and uh my

0:06:34.240 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>communication with with the assistant coaches on the sideline and

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>making sure we have a couple of personnel packages where

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.600
<v Speaker 1>really there's no running back on the field and uh,

0:06:41.640 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're trying to get that personnel in the

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 1>game and and uh, um, you know starts with me,

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I'll do better. Uh you know, I think I think

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just uh, you know, each man, Um. You know,

0:06:58.560 --> 0:07:00.560
<v Speaker 1>we got to look at ourselves and and and see

0:07:00.600 --> 0:07:03.039
<v Speaker 1>if we're you know, we're just out of sync offensively

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>number one. Um, And and we got to get back

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>to some continuity, whether you know it's it's more quick throws, screens,

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, whatever it is to kind of kind of

0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>get things going. You'd love for your run game to

0:07:14.240 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>get to be established. And you know, obviously playing teams

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like this, I mean you get down so fast, so

0:07:22.040 --> 0:07:25.280
<v Speaker 1>early that it's that you feel yourself having to maybe

0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.080
<v Speaker 1>throw just a little bit more to get in into

0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>uh into the game. But we're gonna take a look

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.120
<v Speaker 1>at it, we'll evaluate it, continue to work, and then

0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:47.360
<v Speaker 1>get fixed. Never never, once, you can't you can't press,

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.920
<v Speaker 1>you can't come out going Okay, I'm gonna, I'm gonna,

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm gonna, you know, try to make a play.

0:07:52.600 --> 0:07:57.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's this, this game, this game has enough

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>plays to be made, and and so the message and

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:02.480
<v Speaker 1>the messaging too, the team is listening. Sense of urgency

0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.240
<v Speaker 1>is this, when the play comes to you, just make

0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the play. Just just make the play, Carson, if you

0:08:07.120 --> 0:08:08.840
<v Speaker 1>get an opportunity to make the you make a play.

0:08:08.960 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>All Set, you make a play, Malcolm, you make a play, Fletcher,

0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:14.960
<v Speaker 1>you make a play. And and sometimes you just don't

0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:16.720
<v Speaker 1>go looking for you know, you just don't go looking

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>for them when they come make them. And that that's

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>been the message. And uh, I felt like early that

0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:25.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, we kind of had that rhythm. But um again,

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>just uh, you know, we got to continue to focus

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:29.640
<v Speaker 1>on each play at the time. Carson's all right, thank

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you guys. Just with Carson's to the right place. It

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:37.640
<v Speaker 1>was the right place, a safety cut, the deep cross,

0:08:37.679 --> 0:08:39.959
<v Speaker 1>and and uh uh Nelly was on the post and

0:08:39.960 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>it was the right place to go to the ball
