WEBVTT - Press Pass: Doug Pederson

0:00:04.960 --> 0:00:10.080
<v Speaker 1>Today. Um, it's an area that we have to uh address,

0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.840
<v Speaker 1>we have to fix offensively. Obviously, I wasn't um pleased

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.000
<v Speaker 1>with how we ran the ball really the first two weeks. Um,

0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 1>it's not one individual, it's a team effort. So we

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:26.800
<v Speaker 1>gotta we gotta fix that going forward now as in oh,

0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>well I can't, I can't. I can't stand up here

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:30.920
<v Speaker 1>and say that. Um, we just gotta get the whole

0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 1>thing fixed. I mean it's uh, when you play good

0:00:33.040 --> 0:00:35.519
<v Speaker 1>teams like we did, good defenses, you have to have

0:00:35.560 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>the ability to run the ball. Uh. This is two

0:00:37.720 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>weeks in a row we struggled. So uh, it's a

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:47.279
<v Speaker 1>it's an area that we have to fix. Yeah. Yeah,

0:00:47.360 --> 0:00:49.720
<v Speaker 1>it's hard. Um, it's tough to to you know, I

0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>always have to rely on the throw. But listen, we're

0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:55.160
<v Speaker 1>all in this together. We'll evaluate this film. Um, we'll

0:00:55.200 --> 0:00:57.080
<v Speaker 1>go back and roll our sleeves up and and and

0:00:57.080 --> 0:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>get it corrected, and uh we'll make sure that the

0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>next time out there we do we do a better

0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>job in that area. Has to get just getting hit

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>a bunch you SA six times, So I was getting

0:01:11.200 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>out of the well and then Yeah, I mean it's

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:16.680
<v Speaker 1>it's some exposure, but at the same time, he also

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>made some great plays with his legs, So that's a

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.840
<v Speaker 1>give or take. And um you know, um, sometimes you

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>give up something to get something and part of the game.

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, you know, you don't want to expose him

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.440
<v Speaker 1>like that. But at the same time, he does an

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:33.360
<v Speaker 1>outstanding job with his legs extending plays and keeping drives moving.

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:39.480
<v Speaker 1>What happened, Yeah, it was a U you know, um pass.

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.880
<v Speaker 1>It just just hit to me, appeared like hit a helmet. Um,

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.960
<v Speaker 1>so something I'll have to watch on the way back

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and just see for sure. But hit a helmet and

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.240
<v Speaker 1>pop straight up. And you know, we just those situations there,

0:01:51.240 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>you just critical times of the game. You can't make

0:01:53.800 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 1>those mistakes. No, Um, got got a lot of confidence

0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:05.280
<v Speaker 1>in Isaac. Um, you know. And and uh again, without

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>evaluating the film, it's it's I don't want to point fingers,

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>and but at the same time, we got to make

0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 1>sure that, uh we get him coached upright and and

0:02:12.160 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>and and headed in the right direction. Well again, it's

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.200
<v Speaker 1>part of the you know, he's part of the whole

0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:23.079
<v Speaker 1>the whole process here and and um, you know, it's

0:02:23.120 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>something that we gotta address. We gotta fix moving forward.

0:02:25.240 --> 0:02:27.880
<v Speaker 1>It's it's not just one guy. Um, it takes all

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>of us, you know, it takes a takes all eleven

0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.200
<v Speaker 1>in the run game. So we just gotta gotta evaluate it,

0:02:33.200 --> 0:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>fix it, and get better. Not necessarily, UM, you know,

0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to show going in. Uh you know,

0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I felt like we could do we could do some

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>things against the secondary, against the chiefs, and and and

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:53.359
<v Speaker 1>throwing the ball. Um obviously you you uh you hope

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>your run game is is uh um on track and

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.280
<v Speaker 1>on point. It wasn't. Uh So from that stand point,

0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:02.200
<v Speaker 1>it was. It was it was tough sledding later in

0:03:02.240 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the game when when sometimes you want to rely on

0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.960
<v Speaker 1>that game. Run game. So we just gotta get fixed. Um,

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:11.840
<v Speaker 1>no way fans or but we gotta go to work.

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>I think they held up fine. I did an outstanding job.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.680
<v Speaker 1>There were some great plays, some great efforts on defense. Um,

0:03:19.800 --> 0:03:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you know they got they got ten points off of

0:03:21.760 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 1>our turnovers and it could be a potentially different football game.

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.200
<v Speaker 1>So standing here right now, those are things that again,

0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:31.080
<v Speaker 1>um defense, I thought, uh rally did a nice job.

0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>We got to eliminate still a couple of big plays.

0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Try to fix those But overall, I thought the guys

0:03:35.320 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 1>that stepped in played well, played hard, got some great

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:47.840
<v Speaker 1>experience in the offense. A lot of guys were talking about, No,

0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:51.680
<v Speaker 1>the confidence is still there. There's no nobody's uh, you know,

0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>dropping her head or anything like that. I mean, there's

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>still still a talented offensive line, very very good and

0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>um you know again, it's you know, there's two weeks

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:02.920
<v Speaker 1>in a row we've played, We've played some good defensive

0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:04.800
<v Speaker 1>fronts and then we're gonna see another one next week.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 1>So we just gotta gotta keep going to work and

0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>working hard. Um Man, I thought he thought he you

0:04:12.600 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 1>know again, played hard, played tough, made some great decisions

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>through the ball, accurately down the field. We had some

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 1>missed opportunities in the first half that could have extended

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:22.479
<v Speaker 1>some drives. Um showed some toughness late in the game.

0:04:22.920 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously there were there were a couple of things,

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, the pick is obviously uh he had had

0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a fumble into pocket that he recovered. But you know,

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>those things are gonna happen. But at the same time,

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.560
<v Speaker 1>we got to eliminate those. But overall, I thought, uh, um,

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:43.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought he played well. Um I didn't talk to

0:04:43.320 --> 0:04:45.039
<v Speaker 1>him before the game outside. You know, it really just

0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess pregame spoke to him, just just see how

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>he was doing. It was a lot of fun. It

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>was a great atmosphere to play in. Uh, these are

0:04:51.640 --> 0:04:53.920
<v Speaker 1>these are these are great fans, passionate about their team

0:04:53.960 --> 0:04:56.719
<v Speaker 1>and which they should be, much like our fans. And

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>and uh, we're just excited. Next week we played at

0:04:59.320 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 1>all think your team responded to Yeah, they great. Uh

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>we worked all week against the noise and um, you know,

0:05:07.520 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>um we had a false start at one point, but

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:11.960
<v Speaker 1>I thought I thought for the most part, they handled

0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 1>it really really well, um, and really didn't have any

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 1>issues a little bit. He said. Since what do you

0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:28.600
<v Speaker 1>remember from him? Um, yeah, you know, a lot a

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of my my uh coaching background everything obviously I

0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.080
<v Speaker 1>credit him for and uh played for him and worked

0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:38.359
<v Speaker 1>for him, and and um, you know, uh, his his

0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.800
<v Speaker 1>attention to detail, UM, his his drive, his motivation, how

0:05:41.839 --> 0:05:44.000
<v Speaker 1>well he motivates his players and and gets the most

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>out of his players. I think are some of the

0:05:45.360 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>biggest things that I've taken away from him, you know, Um,

0:05:48.839 --> 0:05:51.240
<v Speaker 1>the way he prepares during the week, Those those things

0:05:51.240 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>are are uh you know, UM, things that that uh,

0:05:56.279 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I continue to grow grow with every every

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 1>week and every game, so great mentor to have um

0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>wish him the best going forward? You are not at all?

0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.159
<v Speaker 1>I would agree, Yeah, I would agree that's not a

0:06:14.200 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>balance for success. Um, by no means do you want

0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to do that at all? That's why I made the

0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 1>comments earlier about we got to fix the run game.

0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:35.159
<v Speaker 1>Good team. Well, the takeaway is is is your right there, um,

0:06:35.400 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 1>team the team that let the scoreboard up in week

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:39.600
<v Speaker 1>one up in New England to come back and and

0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>and keep them tied and keep them held down, you know,

0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:45.919
<v Speaker 1>for for three quarters. Um. The takeaway is, we offensively

0:06:46.000 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>have to have to address our own you know, uh

0:06:49.240 --> 0:06:52.760
<v Speaker 1>needs and and the way we're playing uh offensively. And

0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:55.800
<v Speaker 1>again it starts with me as a play caller. Um.

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 1>Again by no means so I want to throw the

0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>ball that many times. But but we gotta get the

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>run game, and uh, it's a team effort. And however

0:07:03.279 --> 0:07:05.400
<v Speaker 1>the game plays out, you know, we try to find

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.120
<v Speaker 1>a way to win at the end. Um. And the

0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:17.160
<v Speaker 1>mistakes obviously cost us today last year, last week to

0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:24.000
<v Speaker 1>convert a lot of today so much obviously. Yeah, you know,

0:07:24.440 --> 0:07:26.280
<v Speaker 1>we had a couple I know in the first half,

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, third and I think it was a third

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and two or three, and you know, penalty drops you

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:32.520
<v Speaker 1>back a little bit, push you on their third and

0:07:32.560 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>long situation. You just can't again, you can't put yourself

0:07:35.240 --> 0:07:38.800
<v Speaker 1>in in in those situations. And uh um, the middle

0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:40.320
<v Speaker 1>part of the game again is an area that we

0:07:40.360 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>have to we have to address and and uh you

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:48.760
<v Speaker 1>know fix um and and uh yeah, third and third

0:07:48.800 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and long is by you don't want to be there.

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:52.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to be there because you end up

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:55.960
<v Speaker 1>having to throw a little bit um against a good,

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.680
<v Speaker 1>good pass rushing. All right, thanks guys,
