Speaker 1

A little loss might event and now a little bit that week, little different riskuts. Yeah, this is a big game for us obviously, um in terms of divisional standings, all that fun stuff, but really mentally, you know, to show the resilience that what he did to get down early the way we did and then battle back and UM, just kind of builds a lot of confidence, um for for really all three phases of this game. And uh, to come from behind and get it done today, UM,

I think that'll speak volumes about our confidence going forward. Guys. We weren't able to get it done leaked games earlier this year. You gotta win now with less than four minutes to go. What was the difference? We just executed you know, I think in all those other pass games, UM, it just came down to a player two here and there, and we didn't executing. Today we got it done. You know, it didn't take anything, um, you know, extra from us. We just had to just dial it in and executing.

We got it done. And also what was that play was I was at the scheme to go to UM it was just a progression read um and he was the next thing to progress and they went zone coverage and it kind of just parted there in the middle and he came up with arguably the biggest catch of the day. They stepped for this off bet. Maybe it's just getting that first quarter of those first few series Figger, absolutely.

You know, I thought we came out and we actually were moving the ball, okay, and then we had the penalty the first drive, UM, and then the second drive we had the penalty too, and both those UM, just execution. We gotta be better, you know. We kind of made made some made some mistakes early in that in that area, and um, we knew what we were capable of. We knew we could move the ball, but yeah, we started slow.

We gotta be better with that. Those last two drives that you guys were still balanced, ran the ball really well. I think that's huge for us. I mean, we always come into every game wanting to be balanced, UM, and I think the old line plays best when we are, you know, I think it gives those guys confidence and they are coming off the ball firing. And then in the passing game it kind of lightens the past rush a little bit too. And uh, the line loves and we mix it up like that movement snake is all

those things. Um, I thought we did a really good job of that today. What about the way John Adams random bomby at twenty two carries got a lot of key you know the yards for you guys. Yeah, it was big, It was big for us. I mean, Josh did a great job. He's done a great job every and everything we've asked him to do this year. Um, today he got little extra workload and um he did a great job and took it and ran with it. And uh, you know, at the same time, the line,

the line did a great job. We could lean on them, um, and they made some nice holes and Josh Finnisson runs really well and we got it done. We boarded down to talking about meshed concept in such a big spot. What do you like about that in that spot? Yeah, it's just it's good against kind of all coverages. You know, it's a we call it an all coverage beater and

just a peer progression play. And um, it's also one we've got a lot of reps at you know, we've repped it all off season and something like that, so you just kind of keep it simple in those situations, and we executed it well. Other players said that keeping things simple and doing the things that you do well was important this week. Was that fair to saying is that play example of it? Yeah? I think that's that's fair.

I mean, you know, sometimes when you're in a slump, um, especially offensively, you want to try and scheme up things too much and you're trying to be too perfect, and sometimes um, it gets guys to play slower and this and that. And I thought we did a good job this week of of just trying to keep it simple and just letting us play ball, UM and doing things that we've done really all off season. And um, yeah,

I thought that helped us a ton today. I was game help you as a quarterback when you're running the ball. That effected. I mean they always say the running running games the best friend of the quarterback, and that was one hundred percent true today. You know, we could lean on them that big drive UM to put us up late in the fourth UM the first time I mean that that was did I even't throw the ball. I

think we just had a screen. Other than that, it was all handoffs And you know that was huge, UM to just lean on those guys and they did a great job. He alson hadn't caught a ball since the dallascape until that fourth down, hadn't been targeted. Uh was just say about him that, you know, when his number was doubove, he was he was ready. Yeah, he's ready to go. He's always ready to go, you know. And we love Nelly and we love what he brings to

the table. And um, you know, I didn't even realize he hadn't specifically gotten a target till late in today, and um, it's just the way it's been playing out. But um, there he was and he made it, you know, like I said, arguably the biggest player of the day. He spoke Wednesday about the knee for urgency. What was it like this week leading up to the game, in the locker room afterwards? What was the leg Yeah, I

mean locker room afterwards was great. You know, it felt like it had been a while since we had that feeling again. And Um, guys, like I said at the beginning of this, you know, I think that's huge our confidence. It's huge our confidence to not just win, but to win to winning the way we did. Um rallying back and you know, I thought, you know, hats off to our defense. They settled in, you know, tremendously and played

an amazing second half. Um gave us a chance to win the way we did, and I think that just will build our confidence going forward. Play the sack, glow your leg. You came up limping, Yeah, what happened? And how good? We're good? I mean the guy ran into my leg and UM kind of scooped me a little bit, but uh, yeah, we're good team. If you're down nineteen to three. Yeah, I didn't see anyone, you know, kind of pointing fingers or questioning or anything like that. You know,

I thought everyone just kind of believed. Um, and you know, offense went right back out there and put a good drive together, and so I thought that was huge for us going into the second half. And you know, guys just stayed together. You know, that's the biggest thing. We always talk about family around here, and m guys just hung together and believed in each other. We got it done.

Is there anything satisfying? You talked about the win, then then winning, then a game winning drive, a fourth quarter to come back. Right now, I'm just thrilled we gotta win. You know, obviously doing it from behind, you never want to be down, but um, coming back the way we did again, It's just it's huge for our confidence offensively, defensively, the way they kind of you know, stiffened up at the end, and uh yeah, it was it was big

for us. It was Doug was saying he had a good feeling about where everyone's head was at Saturday night at the meeting that they would tell what one was his message job at night be winning g Yeah, I mean his messages. You know, I think more than anything, was just to keep it simple, you know, keep it simple and just do what we do best and play our game. And um, you know, again we started off

sluggish and that's something we got to fix. But you know, after that, I thought everyone just kept it simple, you know, dialed in on their assignments, um, and executed well. And that's I think what led to the victory. Were you guys the answered with a touchdown after sabond Mark was fifte Yeah, I mean just the way we answered in the first half offensively, I thought was big for us, um to just come in and uh um I think

was that in the first half. Yeah, Um, so just the way we answered the first half, just to to go into the locker room with a little momentum and then Malcolm had the interception which which kept them um off the off the board there. Um to just kind of use that momentum going in the second half, that was huge for us. He said, nothing change for you this week. Was it important for you though to rebound

from last week performance? I mean absolutely, you know, I think it's important for for everybody to just come out and rebound and just put last week behind us. And I think we did that today, um, and that was good to see you quarterbacks a lot times to judge wins or losses and also by lay game drives. I mean,

it's just an important one for you personally. Yeah. I mean, you know, anytime we can we can get a victory and they come from behind, you know fashion U it speaks volumes about the team and the resiliency of the guys m on both sides of the ball. And I know, personally that's big to get it done today for me, and you know everyone feels the same year heads the Giants, you said you could Jake Elli, your paycheck could be

at the field goal. Yeah, thing like that paycheck. Today it looked like Dallas kind of messed up button on a blitz that led to a sac teat on you, and then you came back and connected with them down the fielding that one handed catch. How big is it that some of these rookies are kind of taking the next play and for getting the one before that and just excelling it. Yeah. I mean that's something that we talked about all the time, is making mistake, just press forward.

And first of all, the protection that was tough. You know, that was really tough, the way they ran that game, um, and I'm not sure anyone could could pass that off.

They had the great perfect play call on against that, but um, just Dallas and really on defense, a lot of the guys, whether they're rookies, young guys, inexperienced guys, just stepping up and just building confidence throughout this season, throughout this game even and you know that's big for us going forward, especially with all the injuries, shake up and all the things that are super unfortunate that we're

dealing with. That's big for us. Did you check to a run on the Adams TV that was brought back he thought that you did, coach coach call down one. Thanks. Thanks,
