Frank looking at the film, Douget said right after the game that it was his Carson's best game. Would you think after watching him though, Carson played really well. Again, he just stayed in control, was good on third down, you know, made a few chunk plays, made some plays with his feet, just played a good overall game. Do you see it growing just his ability to kind of sense pressure on the back side. I just gotta see
more in the pocket. Yeah, I think you can definitely see the experience coming more into play in the pocket in a lot of ways in some decision making. But like you said, especially in the pocket, he's just had a really good knack of making a few plays on his feet. And then I think what we've also seen is some of his natural athletic ability and strength, particularly in the last game, which I think we saw knew it was there just a matter of time before it
came out. A quarterback like him that can extend plays. How important is it for his receivers to be a little better at coming back to balls and things that will come with time. Yeah, And one thing we do in practice, you know, we're pretty fanatical in practice about you know, not every play goes perfectly out of practice. So if there's a bad shotgun snap, for instance, in practice, or if a play breaks down in practice, you know
he's moving so were those things always look like they're improvisation. Improvisation, um, But actually we try to practice some of those. You can't practice enough of them. But yeah, it's something that comes with experience, as they get to see him and trust his movement and that he still has good vision down the field. UM. I think that's always a work
in progress. Carson is so competitive. How most of time you've been talking with him about sometimes you might hold the ball a little bit too long and take another host of the time you've been talking to him about you know, sometimes you just have to throw it away and just really import another play. Timing and rhythm is a discussion on every play. You know, we're looking to get it out quick. I do think Carson has a
good internal clock in his head. I mean, there are times when he can extend to play and he's waiting and waiting and waiting. Um. But in the pocket, I think his decision making is pretty good. I think he has that good sense of timing and rhythm and wants to get it out pretty quick. Isaac was up and
down in his first start against Green Bay. We'll just see from him this last game and see him it's almost a little bit almost a little bit like what you saw with V. You know when V kind of came in and had an up and down for a start and then settled down. You could see Isaac settle, settled down and play pretty solid football. So there's no there's nothing that can substitute experience and getting in there
and playing. And there's nothing that can build confidence like playing, having a few good plays and building confidence one play at a time. And when you're playing, you know a side of other guys and you got a little bit of juice and the guy's got juice and you feel that support and the practice goes well. I think they are all things that build confidence. Banged up at running back now obviously, so an actious to see somebody like
Kenny on bartery and greeting Byron Marshall could do. Yeah, yeah, it really really am. I mean, Kenyon we know has playmaking ability. Uh you know, Byron. I'm not sure what action they'll see, but I can just tell you watching scout team this whole year, probably if you took the ten most eye popping wild plays on the field this year.
Byron might have three or four of them. Um, where he's running scout team and he runs a route or he makes a cut against our defense that just goes WHOA, I mean that was and we'll look at each other and say that was legit. I mean. So he's got some explosiveness and elusiveness to him about Wendell in the time that he had this series. And I think Wendell is love Windoll. I've said this from the start. He's really got good aptitude in the run end pass game.
I think he's fear us. I think he runs hard. He's got good explosion through the whole, but yet good patience to the whole. So, um, you don't even know he's out for the year. Still still thinking the arrows way up and very positive on him in this Beast game. How important it is for receivers to be able to drag their feet in bounds. Um, didn't go your way, went the Redskins way a few times. How do you how do you work on that with receivers or is
that just something that's that's in hurry? Yeah, I mean you know everyone I think everyone does the boundary drill, you know. I mean everyone's always working on it, you know, by yourself, coaches do it, you do it by yourself. Um, it's an instinct, but it's also something that can be drilled you. You can't neglect it. Even as the season goes on. You urden someone who obviously getting about the best games. It's this playing time that he continue to weeks and to stay at. Yeah, I mean, you know,
Trey has been pretty consistent. You know, it's the norm. Season has been normal in that, you know, weeks go and some guys come in and out of phase and they get the ball and then they don't get the ball. But we've seen all the way from training camp and before Treys a playmaker. Carson has a lot of confidence in Trey. Um, that's why he's on the field as much as he is. A lot of that is us as coaches and our quarterback having confidence in him. So
I would anticipate that'll continue. Nelson has responded Gas and be happier with how Nelson's responded both these last two games. Just a mental toughness, positive attitude. Um, you know, even the big play, you know, the interference call, you could just see a speed running by the guy that that was good to see um and again it just continues to build that back, one play at a time. It seems it's like they've swarmed the relationship over the last
month and they've really kind of hit stride. What change there? It's just time. I mean, there's no you know, we always have to remind ourselves that it just takes time, and we work hard. Everyone works a lot of hours. There's a lot of extra time I put in by those guys after practice, before practice, talking in meetings, but just getting out and doing it and building confidence doing
it means a lot. Put together a game plan, How do you account for the uncertainty alone the offensive line not really knowing what Brooks' situation is, Barber's got the hamstring. How how do you account for that? You have to account for it by just trusting. You can't play with you can't play or think with one hand tied behind your back. We have a great offensive line coach, and Jeff Stoutlin and Eugene Who Eugene Chung who helped them. We have a great group of offensive linements, so I
think we have a lot of depth. I can honestly tell you that as we've sat around game planning, Yeah, do we think do we think, hey, do we got to give extra protection help? Do we got to chip one side or do we got to help a guy in protection with how question? Those thoughts go through your mind. But we're never sitting up there on pins and needles thinking, oh we don't. I mean, we just have a lot of confidence in the players that we have. So even the young guy has to get a chance to step in.
They're proving why they're in the building, and um, I think it's it's helping us build depth at that position. Isaac got right guard before Sunday's game or during the season. I'm not exactly sure you know what the numbers or percentage would be, but you know, they pretty much rotate through there a lot of different places. Um, so Isaac's probably hit the guards and you know, a little bit of tackle, um, a little bit of center. You know, Stout does a good job of rotating those guys all around.
Hilly Carson's is thrown too much that the guard has to do. Is that is that hard to learn? For like a repeat? I think it's more of a pain in the neck. You know. I mean, you don't want to be the guy that has to always reach over and but you know, I think it's just a rhythm thing. It's you know, you got such a smart guy to your to your left in the center. You know he's going to communicate if you have to lose vision for a little bit, Kelse is going to tell you what
to do. But I think it's more of a pain than anything. Helly Carson's thrown too much. I know, some games get away from you and he's got to throw fifty or sixty times, but I mean he's outpace for like six hundred and twenty passes. Do you think that's too high? You know? I mean I think at the end of the day, we go into every game plan.
I know, when coach and I are sitting up there talking about the plan and the plan of attack in the game, you know, you go in with the with the idea that we're going to run at thirty to thirty five times a game. I mean, that's that's what you want to do. But you have to go you have to make the calls at the time that you
think are necessary to win the game. Everybody has a plan, as they say, until they get in a fight and get hit around a few times in the perfect scenario, Do you want to throw that many passes at the end of the year. No, are there? You know? Are there silver lining in silver linings in other ways? I'm sure there are. There's no doubt that Carson is seeing a lot. He's seeing a lot. He's seeing every kind
of pressure, he's seeing every kind of coverage. He's figuring out what throws he can make, what throws he can't make, how he can improve here. Those are all good things that I think are going to help him in the long He's only a lot of hits, you know, and when you when you do throw that much and you're not running and defenses know that you're going to be throwing that the quarterback's going to get hit. Do you feel like he's you know that the tour related the
number of hits he's taken and how much he's thrown. Yeah, I mean, just by it's just the law of averages. I mean, you know, there's just the law of averages. I think as a percentage of past attempts, I can't I looked at it a few weeks ago, where we were ranked. I think we're okay. You know, I don't think we're in the top five or anything, but we're not. Or maybe we're not in the top eight, but we're not. I don't think we're in the bottom eight. Maybe that's
changed in the last couple of weeks. I don't know, but I think we're in an acceptable range considering the circumstances that we've had. Considering a young quarterback, he's done a great job. I think the line's done a good job. You're gonna take hits if you throw at forty fifty times in the game. Um, yeah, there is a correlation. We want to minimize that as much as we can. Um. It's one of the hazards of playing in the position and playing in a game where you get behind a
little bit and have to play to win. Because that's what we're doing each week. Dylan Dylan works hard. You know, all those guys. You know, that's like one of those things if you could win a prize to say they spend a day in the room of an offensive line, a day with the offensive line, and just hang with those guys for one day, sit in their meetings. It's a really dynamic place. Those guys really push each other, they're pushed, they're coached very hard by Stout and Eugene.
I think they're very close knit. I think uh, I think those guys love coming to work every day. I think they love what they do. I think they love who they do it with. And so Dylan is a guy who's fit right in there. You can't help but get better when you're in that kind of an environment, right,
