SPEAKER_3 (1:25)

Can you say about Tommy and that situation right there to lead you down the field?

Brian Daboll (1:31)

Yeah, that's his job.

Third game of over 100 quarterback rating. Made good decisions, took care of the ball, used him in a run game.

We just keep developing him. He's improving, still got stuff to work on, but like I said two, three times last week, I think he's a young player that's doing the right things. Making the most of his opportunity. Earned the right to play today, and he earned the right to play the next week. You know, he's, kid's done a good job.

SPEAKER_5 (2:01)

Dave, is that sort of an adjustment you made at half time? It seemed like he came out.

Brian Daboll (2:06)

With the quarterback stuff? Yeah, I'd say we ran more. Yeah, that's something that give Kafka and Bobby Johnson a lot of credit of, you know, the discussion kind of right even before half, leading into it. You know, we hit that one big one.

We kind of ran into Wondell. But there was a lot of good discussion on the sideline and the headset at halftime, spearheaded by Kafka and Bobby.

SPEAKER_6 (2:35)

I mean, you have the game possibly sealed with Saquon on the long run. I mean, it's just, it's right on your sideline. It's just such a crazy.

Brian Daboll (2:43)

Pro football.

SPEAKER_6 (2:44)

What's that?

Brian Daboll (2:44)

Pro football, things happen. So we had to go make it tough on ourselves, to drive down in two minute with a rookie quarterback, make good decisions and nail a field goal with a new kicker.

Probably like to do it the other way.

SPEAKER_7 (2:58)

What was the conversation like with Tommy on the last drive, trying to keep his composure and stuff?

Brian Daboll (3:06)

Yeah, you don't have to worry about that. He keeps his composure. There was really nothing. Here's a couple of plays we like, go out there and rip that.

Pretty simple.

SPEAKER_8 (3:16)

Brian, the team looks as the, not Tommy going down the field, but his teammates look like they have a lot of confidence in him. They seem composed, not just Tommy.

Brian Daboll (3:26)

Yeah, they do.

I'd say really all three phases, the defensive guys do. But again, he's earned that. And he knows he's got, we got plenty to work on. He's only started four games or, but they do, they see him at practice. He has good practices.

He's not afraid to turn it loose. I mean, that flea flicker we ran, what a play by Wandel, who I know is getting asked by Wandel last week. I think he played pretty good too.

You know, had a lot of confidence in him. You know, I was one of those where he came off to me after we scored a touch. He goes, I know I short-armed it a little bit. I saw him wide open. He goes, I'll make good decisions. I said, I know you will, man. But he does a good job of seeing it. Again, tough game against a good team. They don't, you know, they don't give up a lot of points usually.

We did enough. There's still a lot of things we could do better. You know, we had some short fields that we could have capitalized on.

You know, as Paul alluded to, we obviously, you know, turn it over there at the end, which, you know, Saquon feels terrible about, you know, and I feel for him. It was a, you know, just kind of a fluke deal where we let it go. But 60 minute game, we knew it would be, you know, they've been a successful team in December. So I'm proud of our guys.
