SPEAKER_4 (1:25)

I'm curious what you thought when you went back and looked at the film. Is it like what you expected was worse than you expected? Maybe did you come away, seeing things that left you optimistic?

Brian Daboll (1:37)

Yeah, it's probably about what I expected, after talking to you guys last night.

There were a few things you can build on, but when you get beat like the way we got beat, no excuses, I'd say. There's a lot of work that needs to be done. A lot of corrections that need to be made, and that's what we'll do today.

SPEAKER_4 (1:58)

Anything specific that maybe stood out to you?

Brian Daboll (2:02)

No, it was a collective effort. I think seven times the ball was either in their hands or on the ground, which you start with ball security.

We didn't do a good enough job with that. And there's some things, third down in red zone, situational football that we didn't do a good enough job of. And obviously we didn't score a single point. So a lot to learn from, a lot to improve on, and that's what we'll try to do today.

SPEAKER_4 (2:30)

Do you have any update on Andrew Thomas?

Brian Daboll (2:36)

Yeah, he is. I don't have it yet.

Have it on Wednesday. Bye.

Ryan Dunleavy (2:44)

Brian Dunleavy. Hey, Dabes.

Brian Daboll (2:51)

Hey, Ryan.

Ryan Dunleavy (2:52)

Hey.

Last year, after week one to week two, you made some pretty significant lineup changes. Kenny Galladay and Austin Calitro both went from playing 40-something snaps to less than five snaps, and it didn't seem like it was schematic since their roles were both minimized the rest of the year too. How do you judge what a guy has done for you all, training camp, off-season, to become a starter, versus, hey, this guy didn't play well against an opponent, a change is made here as we look forward to off your week one this time, any possible lineup changes?

Brian Daboll (3:28)

Sure, it's a good question.

Again, we evaluate the tape, I'd say, with a critical eye, starting with us as a staff first and the players. And then if, not to go back into last year, but you sit down as a coaching staff during the week, obviously you take into account what happened the previous game. And have difficult discussions if you need to have them, and then try to make the best decision you can for the team based off of, you do look at performance in training cap, no question about it, but you also are real with performance in the game. So I'd say it's probably a little bit of both. And then at the end of the day, you got to make a decision that you think is going to help your team.

Ryan Dunleavy (4:13)

Is it fair to say, and I'm sure, of course, without naming names, it's fair to say those hard conversations are going to have to happen again this week with guys who maybe didn't perform as well yesterday?

Brian Daboll (4:24)

Yeah, well, we try to do rise. We try to have them every week, regardless of the outcome of the game. So it's a consistent theme of here's where we can do better. Here's what we did well. It's always a lot easier to hear them when you do well and you get a win than it is when a loss, but those are conversations that we have, I'd say, on a week-to-week basis after every game.
