Brian Daboll (1:29)

Well, we didn't play a complimentary football game. So, turned the football over, had some opportunities, but didn't score any points, didn't get the job done.

So.

Pat (1:43)

What do you believe contributed to the protection breakdowns?

Brian Daboll (1:48)

Probably a little bit of everything, you know. Had some longer routes at times, got beat at times, reads at times, calls at times, I'd say, kind of collection of everything.

SPEAKER_5 (2:00)

What were you trying to show Daniel on the interception? Camera spots you showed him, the tabletop?

Brian Daboll (2:06)

I was trying to show him, kind of see what he thought, and then kind of tell him what I saw.

Pat (2:12)

But they were too happy because you kind of tossed the tablet as you walked away. I mean, what was supposed to happen on that route? Was it?

Brian Daboll (2:19)

Yeah, I'm not going to get in the particulars of it. Just we didn't get the job done.

Yeah, well, obviously not throw in interceptions, so.

Kim (2:33)

How does a night like this happen? I mean, did you see any signs during practice this week where you had to tip the guys or?

Brian Daboll (2:41)

No, had a good week. Again, I thought, you know, defensively we did a lot of good things.

Didn't get the job done. Had too many penalties on special teams and didn't score on offense. So, you know, got to figure out a way to make that better.

SPEAKER_6 (2:55)

How hamstrung do you feel with the way the offensive line is playing? I mean, it seems like Daniel.

Brian Daboll (3:01)

No excuses. We got, I got to do a better job. Do you feel like if you let Daniel down with how you didn't protect him tonight?

Yeah, I'd just say overall, Pat, offensively it wasn't good enough from any standpoint.

Pat (3:16)

We've talked a lot about the play calling and you've said the process has remained the same.

Brian Daboll (3:19)

Yeah.

Pat (3:20)

You guys are averaging five points per game. Aside from you've removed that Cardinals game, do you think the process needs to change at this point?

Brian Daboll (3:27)

Well, I'd say we got to do better.

We'll keep working at it. Confident in the guys we have and got to do a better job of it.

Jordan (3:36)

What do you make of the special teams?

Brian Daboll (3:38)

Too many penalties.

Yeah. Dropped the first punt. What, six, seven penalties?

Six, yeah. Yeah, so, again, really nothing good enough. Got to do a better job, and that starts with me. What do you think of the after the whistle stuff?

Pat (3:55)

Brightwell, you know, under getting into it.

SPEAKER_5 (3:58)

We saw some of that last week with Trent.

Brian Daboll (4:00)

Yeah, certainly not something we want to do, Pat. You know, you talk about it, you coach it, and ultimately they got to go out there and do it in the heat of the moment.

So we'll work on that to fix it. What did you tell the guys in the locker room after? Yeah, I'll keep that between us, but obviously got to do a lot better.

SPEAKER_9 (4:26)

Brian, this is the second game you've had at home where at the end of the game, it's visiting fans for just having the only place. I mean, are you getting worried you might lose your fans?
