SPEAKER_3 (1:25)

What do you think went wrong?

Brian Daboll (1:26)

What do you look at as some of the problems? Yeah, I'd say collectively, just not good enough.

Pretty much take any area, just wasn't good enough. Give them credit, they did well.

We're efficient in the pass game. We weren't really efficient in the pass game. You know, the runs, really the quarterback zone reads were really all that was going. I think, you know, Saquon had nine for 14 or somewhere around there. Couldn't get the run game going, had a number of sacks. So again, they were pretty efficient, two or two, six to 12 on third down, two or two in the red zone. So collectively just, you know, it wasn't good enough.

SPEAKER_3 (2:06)

Your coverage seemed to take a step back today.

SPEAKER_5 (2:08)

Did you see that as well, the coverage on the back end?

Brian Daboll (2:11)

Yeah, I mean, look, it was, nothing was where it needed to be today.

SPEAKER_3 (2:16)

Did they do anything differently to defend Tommy?

Brian Daboll (2:20)

Well, they just played, they played good, they stopped the run. You know, we're effective in the pass coverages. We had some drops out there early that I thought could have helped us.

So just overall, not good enough.

SPEAKER_6 (2:31)

Why did their stunts give you guys so much trouble?

Brian Daboll (2:35)

Yeah, they did a good job running them, and we didn't do a good enough job of blocking them.

SPEAKER_5 (2:42)

The end of the first half, and then obviously in the beginning of the second half, the momentum swings were going back and forth. I would imagine coming in, you guys felt pretty good being where you were at, and then starting out, just not able to get the offense going early on, really kind of take you guys out of what you wanted to do.

Brian Daboll (3:01)

Yeah, I mean, it was seven to six. Jamie hit that field goal, and again, they did a better job than we did all the way around.

SPEAKER_5 (3:09)

Was there anything that, I mean, we saw Tommy go into the locker room before halftime, was he still being checked?

Brian Daboll (3:15)

He was, and then they came out and told me he was good. So.

SPEAKER_5 (3:19)

Did you have anything that did not affect your normal routine at halftime with him?

Brian Daboll (3:22)

No.

SPEAKER_3 (3:25)

What did you think of that play with DeVito and everything?

Brian Daboll (3:29)

Whatever they call it, they call it. Or don't call it.

SPEAKER_3 (3:31)

Did he say anything to you about it?

Brian Daboll (3:33)

No, they took, I had to get time, I had to get, well, yeah, he was saying good, but they buzzed down to Ronnie, so that's under their control and get Tyrone ready to go.

SPEAKER_3 (3:42)

I think you had done such a good job, Tommy, of getting away from that pressure last game and stepping up a little bit instead of kind of getting swallowed up and backpedaling.

Brian Daboll (3:54)

Well, I think it's different. I mean, there's different rushes. I mean, every game's a little bit different. You know, like I said, not good enough all the way around. You guys weren't able to generate very much pressure.

They did a good job blocking us. You know, they stayed on schedule. Again, we were staying on schedule. It's a lot of better chances offensively. They were. I mean, I thought Carter did a great job. Was 23 at 28 or something like that. 7 was very efficient, effective. Got the ball out of his hands.
