SPEAKER_4 (1:01)

Any word on Andrew Thomas?

Brian Daboll (1:03)

No, I'll get all that stuff later today, and then fill you guys in on Wednesday.

SPEAKER_4 (1:11)

No sense, no nothing? just straight nothing at this point?

Brian Daboll (1:14)

Yeah, I still have to meet with the doctors and the trainers.

SPEAKER_4 (1:18)

Okay, you mentioned a couple of times yesterday, talking about the offense, and that's on me. Put it on me, and that's on me. Put it on me. What can you do when you look at it, and you've got it as the head coach, as the play caller, you know, in a self-assessment mode, and you know, I guess you go over every play, and every call, and every decision, and you know what I mean? If it's on you, which it is obviously, and you admit that, you know, how do you assess it and then correct it?

Brian Daboll (1:49)

You evaluate the tape, you evaluate the, you know, each play, what you need to do better, and then you focus on doing those things.

SPEAKER_4 (2:01)

Do you have a list or a chart, or how do you, how do you, you know, self-assess and say, okay, this was good, this, I would do this again, this, I would do this again, this, I wouldn't, this was a bad read, this was good, this was not on me. You know what I mean? Is there like a checklist, or is it just in your mind? How do you do that?

Brian Daboll (2:19)

No, I mean, you go back and you watch the tape. We watch it as a coaching staff together. We go through each play with a, you know, very fine tooth comb, make sure that we're getting all the details coached up on the plays that we need and get them coached up. That's really been consistent since I've been doing it. It's consistent in Buffalo, it's consistent here. You look at the plays, you look at the execution of the play, timing of it, and, you know, do your best to correct those things.

SPEAKER_4 (2:50)

And as far as, in that method that you do, is there room for dissent, you know, in the group? You know what I mean? If somebody says, yeah, I don't know what you were thinking there in that third down call, you know what I mean? You're the head coach, but can they come at you and say, you know, and you can discuss it and maybe, you know, you take their, you see their point, their side of it?

Brian Daboll (3:13)

Yeah, that's what you do as a coaching staff. You meet, you're with each other all the time. Very, have a lot of confidence in our coaches, really in all three phases. It's very good communication.

And you try to do the best you can on improving the things you need to improve on.

SPEAKER_4 (3:32)

When you looked back, what disappointed you maybe more today or maybe less disappointed you more today than yesterday after the game?

Brian Daboll (3:40)

Well, again, you're not happy with the result and you're not happy with the points. Again, there's things that are improving in areas, but the ultimate goal is to score points and finish drives and take care of the ball. And third and fourth and short was productive. Third and sixth plus was not productive.

There wasn't a lot of negative plays. We're staying in the positive for the most part, but our inability, I would say this game, and to generate explosive plays, whether that's through the run or through the air, is not where I want it to be right now. So we'll keep doing it. Keep calling them. And we've got to keep on improving in that area, because it's, again, 16 play drives for touchdowns. It's hard to do on a consistent basis. So you couple that with red zone and some missed opportunities in the kicking game throughout, I'd say, the course of the past couple weeks. There's, you know, we got to score more points. Thank you again. Yep. Patty Trena.
