You quarterbacked three touchdown passes and didn't allow a turnover, giving Saturday nine times, which is a better one, we'll see.

Brian Daboll (1:47)

Yeah, I said during the week, he's improving, did a lot of good things, did some stuff we'll correct, gave us a chance.

I think he's the same height.

Oh, no, yeah. Look, there's some good stuff that he did. Made some good plays. I thought Kafka called a good game. Some wide open guys, the Bellinger, the Slayton, the 30 inches call, so those help. And, you know, he did a good job. When we got behind the sticks, that was when it was tough. So clean up some of those things that were where we got sacked. Maybe we couldn't not get sacked because I thought the line protected, you know, a lot of those pretty well.

Yeah, it's always good to win. So preparation, normal, practicing, normal. I know you asked about that the other day. You know, but put it together, you know, defense special teams had six turnovers, capitalized on a few of those, hit some good big plays, good play designs, I thought. Finished the game, you know, made it probably tougher than we had to. But it was good to get a win.

SPEAKER_5 (3:06)

How much does it help the morale to win a game like that though? You know, we've talked about it the past few weeks, the frustration we were seeing at times. When you're able to win like that, how much does this help?

Brian Daboll (3:19)

Yeah, winning's good, losing's not.

SPEAKER_6 (3:22)

Brian, when you look at your defense, who are your bigger players?

You know, Dexter had a big game, Cable had a big game. What did you see? Without looking at tape, what did you see?

Brian Daboll (3:31)

Sure, they've been pretty consistent throughout the year. You know, Dexter's, you know what you get out of Dexter, he's an exceptional player in this league at his position right at the top, and he's provided that each week. I thought Cavan did some good stuff.

We want that play back where we got hands to the face at the end of the game. But again, credit to Wink and to the players. You know, they've been putting in a lot of hard work. Coaches have, the players have. We just, you know, we put it together the right way today and try to build off of it.

Well, the Jets game was different. So that was, we were playing it a certain way.

So I think he's made, yeah, no, look, he's made progress. I think Shea's an exceptional quarterback coach. Tommy has put the work in. But it takes all 11 guys out there on the field. And, you know, he's had some production. I think he's improved. You know, we're going to have to, you know, we still got a ways to go here, but he's got the right mindset. I think the players have confidence in him, particularly because he's the third quarterback going in, and they got some, he's got a little juice about him that I think the players respect. But we'll go back, we'll learn from the stuff that we can do better and try to put another one together.

SPEAKER_7 (5:00)

You guys had nothing, literally nothing, until the last play of the third quarter.

Brian Daboll (5:06)

I thought the big play that Saquon had when you go back and watch it, just watch a little Wondell Robinson. He was the guy that kind of sprung the whole play.
