Brian Daboll (1:05)

We'll have our bye week. We'll evaluate things in bye week, do the things we need to do. We'll practice a couple days next week, and evaluate everything.

Yeah, I wish I had it back. Yeah, I wish I had it back. It didn't work. Yeah, I wish I had it back. Bad coaching. I'm sorry. Yeah, look, you know, you never want to turn the football over, and he knows that. But the job is to make sure we maintain possession of the ball. So, we'll look at the reason why it happened, the ball handling, good play by the defense, but we can't turn the ball over in this league three times and expect a different outcome.

SPEAKER_4 (2:20)

Coach, this is the last international game of the year here. Any thoughts on whether it's easier to delay later in the season, overseas or earlier, having a routine change, is it at all?

Brian Daboll (2:32)

No, we pretty much had a normal Friday and Saturday. Again, it was a great atmosphere. The people here were awesome. Just didn't get the outcome we want.

SPEAKER_5 (2:42)

Why do you think this season has gone the way it is?

Brian Daboll (2:45)

Yeah, I'm not going to reflect on the season. We just lost a tough game. Certain plays, everybody would like to have back, and a long trip back, and we'll have a bye week here and make the most of it.

SPEAKER_6 (2:58)

How concerned are you that it seems to be regressive for your overall program and progress in your career?

Brian Daboll (3:07)

Yeah, I'd say there's certain things we're doing better. The record isn't what it needs to be. But we'll go back, we'll evaluate, we'll do the things we need to do to finish up strong second half of the season.

Go back, watch the tape, I thought the line ran the ball well, protect it well. Go back and evaluate. Yeah, the interception. No, they blitzed, he was throwing hot. Guy made a good play. Yeah, I'm going to go back and watch the tape.

SPEAKER_6 (4:02)

Do you need that throw out further in front of them there?

Brian Daboll (4:05)

Yeah, I'll go back and look at it. Again, two turnovers down in red zone, we can't have those.

SPEAKER_6 (4:13)

What was the thought process when you got to Google their potential goal?

Brian Daboll (4:18)

It was like two teams. Yeah, we had our line for the start of the game, and it was beyond the line.

SPEAKER_4 (4:27)

Clonny tips it, but that didn't do it.

SPEAKER_6 (4:29)

Did he tell you he didn't see him?

Brian Daboll (4:32)

No, Clonny made a nice play, batted the ball up. Again, turning the ball over twice down in the red zone. Can't have that.

SPEAKER_5 (4:39)

Dexter was on the field the first five plays, and the second half was Dexter.

Brian Daboll (4:44)

Yeah, again, we like Dexter out there all the time, but there's some plays that he's not out there. The play time and who's in and who's out, I'm not going to elaborate on that. But.

Yeah, no, I'm with you.

SPEAKER_5 (5:04)

Yep.

Brian Daboll (5:13)

Yeah, that was one of the keys is, we knew they were going to run the football. I thought they attacked the edge as well on a couple of plays.

Made some explosive plays in that area. 180 yards or whatever it was, 190 yards rushing, almost six yards of carry. And a couple of those were aided by big plays on the edge of the defense, and something we got to be better at.
