Brian Daboll (1:26)

Merry Christmas, by the way.

SPEAKER_3 (1:27)

Thank you. You made your quarterback switch?

Brian Daboll (1:30)

Yeah, just try to spark the team. I don't really have anything else to add in it, just did it to try to spark the team.

I know I made some plays. I mean, started out second half good. Obviously on that kickoff return, had an interception for the touchdown. I thought he made a great play on a high seven route to slay. What was important in that first net? I witnessed 20 points. We were 1-8 on third down.

Yeah, Darren went down a little. He kind of went down, and he fought his way to get back to the huddle to stay in. So, it would have been a ten second runoff.

Charlotte (2:22)

You have two games left. Where do you go now with your quarterback position?

Brian Daboll (2:26)

Yeah, I'm just worried about tonight here. We'll talk about that here this week.

Charlotte (2:30)

You had said, though, that Tommy had earned it.

Brian Daboll (2:33)

Yeah, so I made a spark. I don't really have anything else to add about it right now. I made a change to try to make a spark.

He's a good player. He made some really good plays, some cut-back plays, some bounce-out plays.

Talked about him before the game. He's a good football player. He played well, gave them credit, came down to the end and just quite didn't get it done.

Charlotte (3:03)

What in particular?

Brian Daboll (3:04)

Yeah, because it was a competitive game, so you don't like to lose.

Charlotte (3:09)

What did they tell you about the start on John Lakersmith?

Brian Daboll (3:13)

Yeah, you can ask those guys. Yeah, you can ask the refs. The play down on the first half?

Yeah, I'd say with any official questions, you can ask those guys. Did Bobby do what he was coached to do there? Yeah, I mean, they got a field goal out of it, so, you know, that was good. They got a field goal and not a touchdown.

Charlotte (3:44)

The first half there with Tommy, you really didn't get the ball down the field at all.

With Tyrod, you obviously were able to get the ball down the field. What was the difference there?

Brian Daboll (3:56)

I'd have to look at the tape.

SPEAKER_3 (3:58)

Were you, I mean, the team was in danger of getting blown out at halftime, obviously. Were you, you know, after what has happened here in the past, were you really worried about the second half and, you know, what might happen here?

Brian Daboll (4:10)

What's that?

SPEAKER_3 (4:11)

I mean, the team was in danger of getting blown out, obviously, at halftime, and it didn't happen. So, you know, were you worried at halftime that, you know, things could really get out of control here?

Brian Daboll (4:21)

Worried at halftime?

SPEAKER_3 (4:23)

Worried at halftime.

Brian Daboll (4:24)

Go ahead and make adjustments and come out. It's a 60-minute game.

Charlotte (4:33)

I know you, you know, this is your fourth game against them now.

Brian Daboll (4:37)

Yeah, competitive game.

Yeah, I don't know. I haven't talked to the trainers yet, Charlotte.
