Patty (0:55)

Good morning, Dabes, how are you?

Brian Daboll (0:57)

Morning, Patty.

Patty (0:59)

Dabes, can you talk about the defense? The defense, the last couple of weeks, it looks like it's been playing a lot better. What have you seen from that unit, and where have they really tightened things up to play better?

Brian Daboll (1:10)

Yeah, they have improved. I think Bobby O has done a great job of getting the ball and getting hands on the ball. I'd say a bunch of those turnovers are a result of his play along with the rush that goes along with it. But seeing the quarterback getting hands on the ball, obviously, we had some big plays last week. We limited those this week.

Improving the fundamentals, they've done a good job. They've improved. So we're going to need to continue to do that.

SPEAKER_5 (1:42)

Thank you.

Brian Daboll (1:43)

Yep.

SPEAKER_5 (1:48)

Hey, Brian, I know we asked about some specifics with Tyrod last night, but just overall, how do you feel like you played?

Brian Daboll (1:54)

I think Tyrod did a good job.

He threw the ball on time, made some good throws down the sideline to Slayton, got the ball out of his hands, even though there was some pressure. So he did a good job of leading his team. Obviously, the team thing of 0-4-5 in the red zone, that's a team thing, so it's something we got to work on, but continue to do that. But I thought Tyrodd acquitted himself well.

SPEAKER_5 (2:24)

I know DJ told NBC his goal is to play next week. I know you're probably going to say you don't know yet, but do you have any update?

Brian Daboll (2:30)

I don't. I have no update on anything. I haven't seen the doctors.

It was a late one last night, so I have nothing on any injuries.

SPEAKER_5 (2:39)

I've got to ask, if Daniel's healthy, you see the starting quarterbacks, though?

Brian Daboll (2:43)

Yeah, I have nothing on any injuries.

SPEAKER_5 (2:44)

No, no, I'm saying if he's healthy.

There's no quarterback controversy, or is there? I'm just asking that question.

Brian Daboll (2:50)

Yeah, no.

SPEAKER_5 (2:53)

And then one last one, the fourth one at the 11, when you kicked the field goal, just the thought process there, I mean, how were you thinking about going for it, and how did you end up on the kick?

Brian Daboll (3:02)

Yeah, I said it last night, we, you know, two third and ones where we didn't get it, get points, defense was playing well. So that was a decision.

SPEAKER_5 (3:16)

Bob, broke over.

SPEAKER_7 (3:20)

Hey, Brian, because you play a team tough like you did last night, and obviously one of five is not where you want to be, but you come in, maybe not today, but on Wednesday with a renewed enthusiasm that, hey, you know, the schedule does soften here. You know, we got a chance to still do things.

Brian Daboll (3:41)

I think you come on Wednesdays with enthusiasm every week.

It's the National Football League. So, you know, you do the necessary things you need to try to do each week to put yourself in good position and compete and give yourself a chance, and that's what you do every week.

SPEAKER_7 (4:00)

And the other question is, do you get a lot more out of your offensive line than you could have hoped for last night, given, you know, it was not in the greatest situation going in, and then you lose to Zudu and you're playing a guy you alluded to last night who hadn't played tackle in four or five years?

Brian Daboll (4:18)

Yeah, and on the left side, we talked about it with Pugh Saturday morning, just, hey, you might need to do this, you might need to do this, and he's a true pro. I'd say it all works together. I think the quarterback did a good job of getting the ball out. Receivers found space.
