Ryan Dunleavy (1:25)

Where are you on naming a quarterback for this week?

Brian Daboll (1:29)

We'll talk about it as a staff. We're finishing up this game, and we'll talk about it tonight.

Ryan Dunleavy (1:35)

Will it, will anything, we only have two games left, Brian. Will anything for the future go in, or is it just about these two games? Cause obviously Tommy, as Joe pointed out, Tommy's the only quarterback, backup quarterback under contract. So will that factor in, or is it just about these two games?

Brian Daboll (1:53)

Yeah, we're just getting ready for the Rams here, and we'll talk about that tonight.

Ryan Dunleavy (1:57)

Thanks.

SPEAKER_5 (2:04)

Please raise your hand if you have a question. Kim Jones.

Kim Jones (2:24)

James, can you hear me okay?

Brian Daboll (2:26)

How are you doing, Kim?

Kim Jones (2:27)

Sorry.

No excuses. When you look at this season, and I know there'll be time for a real dissection of the season, but how do you keep your players in these final couple weeks of just being sort of, you know, knowing they're out of it, and maybe showing some of that in their player approach?

Brian Daboll (2:49)

Yeah, look, I thought we competed hard yesterday, and, you know, we have a bunch of competitors that are gonna do their jobs, come in, get ready to go against the Rams, and, you know, try to play and coach as good as we can.

Kim Jones (3:03)

Dave, with your receiver rotation, I'll call it, you know, I'm not sure what else to call it, a rotation of receivers, are you satisfied with the way that, you know, the big plays were made? We see Slayton with a big play yesterday, that kind of thing.

Wondale gets an awful lot of opportunities for not a lot of yardage. Is that one of the things maybe that you'll particularly look at?

Brian Daboll (3:31)

Yeah, well, I mean, right now we're just gonna, you know, try to do as good as we can against the Rams and put together a plan. There'll be a time for all that, Kim, but, you know, now it's, you know, get ready to go here on the Rams.

Kim Jones (3:43)

Thank you.

Paul Schwartz (3:46)

Paula Schwartz. Hey, Brian. Paul.

Hey, a couple of things. Down the stretch, you know, you've been in a lot of seasons, you know, in the playoffs, out of the playoffs, you know, who you're playing, who you're not playing. I mean, you're down the stretcher, you played the Eagles, you're gonna play them twice, the Rams, obviously, in the thick of the playoff race.

Is that a carrot that you can, you know, show to your team? I mean, you're playing against teams that are in it and hungry and need to win, you know what I mean? And, you know, you need to match that, obviously, or things won't go well.

Brian Daboll (4:16)

Yeah, I just try, I just say, Paul, we try to do everything we can do each week.

Certainly haven't got the results that we want, but, you know, compete and do everything you can do to get ready to play a game in this league. And, you know, regardless of where I've been or what I've been, you know, if you're a competitor, you know, that's what you get excited to do.
