SPEAKER_3 (1:01)

Were you out with the quarterback decision?

Brian Daboll (1:05)

Oh, yeah, I thought Ty did some good things in the second half of Philly, so he'll be earned the right to start this game.

Let's get ready for the Rams. Really have nothing else to add on it. That's where we're at.

SPEAKER_5 (1:18)

Was there, I guess, the consult process? Maybe considering sticking with DeVito, did you automatically decide you wanted to go to Tyrod?

SPEAKER_6 (1:26)

How did that?

Brian Daboll (1:27)

Yeah, just what I said. Decided to go with Ty, did some good things in the Philly game and earned the right to start.

SPEAKER_3 (1:33)

How much of that was weighing, you know, what's best for the moment versus developmental?

Brian Daboll (1:38)

Yeah, just focused on the Rams and try to go out there and play a good game.

SPEAKER_6 (1:45)

What specifically did Tyrod show you in that second hit?

Brian Daboll (1:49)

I just thought he did some good things. So he's earned the opportunity this week.

SPEAKER_7 (1:53)

You mentioned, you know, throughout this whole thing, that, you know, when Danny got it, he gives us the, I feel he gives us the best chance to win, you said. So obviously this is the same thing that Tyrod that you feel right now, he gives you the best chance to win this game.

Brian Daboll (2:04)

Yeah, just trying to get ready for the Rams and play a good game.

SPEAKER_3 (2:08)

How did you break it to Tommy? And what was your kind of message to him?

Brian Daboll (2:13)

Yeah, we've had those conversations before, so keep those private. Getting ready to go on the Rams.

SPEAKER_5 (2:20)

How did you come out health-wise?

Brian Daboll (2:22)

Good, we're doing a walkthrough today, so everybody will be participating in the walkthrough.

SPEAKER_8 (2:25)

Thank you. Is there any update on Jamie? Is, you know, grind plus the knee and...

Brian Daboll (2:36)

Yeah, we'll see tomorrow, but trend in the right direction.

SPEAKER_8 (2:40)

Are you?

SPEAKER_7 (2:47)

You mentioned the other day about Evan, that he'll need something.

Brian Daboll (2:50)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_7 (2:51)

I mean, so that's some kind of procedure. He should be fine, obviously, after that, I would think.

Brian Daboll (2:57)

Well, he's gonna have to have the procedure, and then go through rehab and all those other things.

SPEAKER_7 (3:03)

Is it a major thing for him?

Brian Daboll (3:07)

I mean, anytime you get a potential surgery. So, but he's done everything we've asked him to do, approached everything the right way.

SPEAKER_3 (3:15)

Why not put him on reserve earlier in retrospect? And then also, how do you, what do you make of his, this is obviously a really high pick, and his second season probably didn't go as planned.

Brian Daboll (3:27)

Yeah, look, he's doing everything we've asked him to do. And I know he'll continue to do that.

SPEAKER_5 (3:33)

Was that something you guys talked about maybe earlier in the season, and we're gonna try to hold off until after? Was it something that...

Brian Daboll (3:39)

Yeah, no, I mean, this is a conversation we've had. And so that's what he's gonna get the surgery fairly soon.

And then rehab and be ready to go.

SPEAKER_7 (3:54)

Rams have a receiver who's a fifth round pick who... I don't know what you thought of him coming out of the draft.

Brian Daboll (4:00)

Yeah, another one is the third round pick, right?

SPEAKER_7 (4:02)

Yeah.

Brian Daboll (4:03)

They're two really good players, tremendous run after catch, strong, physical. I mean, they do stuff that tight ends do in the run game, both of them.
