Did you know there's a growing movement of people choosing to live a paper-based lifestyle? They're called paper-tarians, and they proudly choose paper because of its positive impact on the forest and the environment. Here in the US, paper companies work with private forest landowners to grow and maintain forests at a rate nearly double the volume needed to make the paper, packaging and boxes you rely on every day. And those products can be recycled up to seven times.

Join the movement and go paper-tarian. Learn more at howlifeunfolds.com/paper-tarian.

Brian Daboll (1:08)

Yeah, I'd like to have it back. Yeah, I'd just like to have the play back.

That was right at the edge of it.

SPEAKER_7 (1:26)

Did Tyrock give you explanation on the fumble in the first half when you had the fourth and one?

Brian Daboll (1:40)

He did a lot of good stuff, and, you know, a couple of plays here or there, we'd like to have back.

SPEAKER_8 (1:44)

What happened on the point of the regular play?

Brian Daboll (1:48)

What happened? He just missed it.

We had Saquon. He short-armed it a little bit.

SPEAKER_8 (1:56)

Top of the decision there, obviously, you're going to kick it and then the change there.

Brian Daboll (2:00)

Yeah, Ben was on the one, liked the call we had, just came up a little short.

SPEAKER_7 (2:06)

What do you think, overall, of the play of your veterans? You know, Saquon dropped a pass, Tyrod missed a couple of passes, Adorey on the tackle. What do you think, overall, just the way some of your vets played today?

Brian Daboll (2:19)

Oh, yeah, I thought everybody competed and just came up a little short.

SPEAKER_9 (2:27)

How frustrating was it to have so many big plays pulled back by penalties? It seemed like every time you guys got a positive, it was sort of counterweighted by a negative.

Brian Daboll (2:38)

How frustrating was it? Yeah, wish we didn't get the penalties.

SPEAKER_7 (2:46)

You ever start a game like that where you had two penalty challenges and you bet you won?

Brian Daboll (2:51)

Nope.

SPEAKER_8 (2:54)

I just keep going back to it on that. That Saquon run, was there, could you have jumped in and vetoed it and kind of changed the play call at all before it got to that point of getting run?

Brian Daboll (3:02)

Yeah, I'd just like to have it back.

Paul (3:07)

And it was the second down play. I mean, could you have run a play or did you have to spike it there?

Brian Daboll (3:14)

Yeah, look, we... You know, competed to the end. Just a few plays here or there that obviously I'd like to have back.

SPEAKER_10 (3:25)

Ditch, what did you think of Belton's play stepping in after Hinnock was injured?

Brian Daboll (3:31)

Yeah, made some nice plays. The ball finds him, you know, did in training camp and a good example of a player that, you know, wasn't starting, that's ready to go and stepped in and did a nice job.

SPEAKER_11 (3:44)

Dave, did you use the timeouts on defense in that spot? Was it just circumstance where you were, field position? I mean, I know you don't see a 94-yard punt return coming, but any regrets in that spot to not hold on to one of the timeouts?

Brian Daboll (3:59)

No.

SPEAKER_12 (4:05)

What do you take away from a game where your team makes so many plays, but has mistakes that result in a loss?

Brian Daboll (4:13)

Well, I think that's like any game. I mean, there's plays that we had and mistakes, and you got to overcome some of the mistakes. And, you know, everybody, we can just do a better job starting with me.

Thought they competed well.

Came up a little short. You know, there's so many opportunities throughout that game, you know, that, you know, we just came up a little bit short on.
