Brian Daboll (1:05)

All right. Tough, tough loss.

Thought our defense played very good football. Missed a quarterback run early on a rush lane, but they played winning football. To hold those receivers to what we held them to the pass game. You know, I think Bro had about 50 yards rushing, but hats off to the way the defense played. Missed two opportunities in a kicking game and then didn't score enough points offensively. And that starts with me. And you know, it's hard to win games when you score seven points. And that's the reality of it.

Dan (1:40)

Why do you think the offense started so much tonight?

Brian Daboll (1:43)

That's probably a number of things, Dan. I'll go back and watch the tape. You know, I thought we had some opportunities, you know, throughout the game, you know, whether it be run, whether it be pass, you know, we turned the ball over down there, you know, on that drive, which was a good drive, and to come away with no points. And then I think five of 15, somewhere around there. Now, we were aggressive on four down, because I thought we needed to be against this offense, but just couldn't generate any explosive plays. We did. We had the penalty. And then other than that, we didn't hit many explosive plays. So that's okay. That's in a nutshell before watching it.

SPEAKER_6 (2:22)

On that first series, the second half there, we did go for it on fourth, on the 38, didn't make it, and then come back.

SPEAKER_7 (2:30)

Yeah.

SPEAKER_6 (2:30)

Is that just a matter of you just trying to jump start your offense?

SPEAKER_7 (2:33)

Yeah.

Brian Daboll (2:33)

I mean, we didn't have any points. You know, I felt good about stuff that we had. You know, we were going a little bit up tempo, and our defense did a great job after that, you know, of holding them, getting the ball back, and then going down and scoring. But, you know, it's hard to win football games when you score seven points. That's the reality of it.

Connor (2:52)

Can you explain what happened on that interception, Brian?

Brian Daboll (2:55)

Yeah, Daniel was getting pressure, and he tried to throw it, you know, out of the back of the end zone, and not what we want to do. So, you know, that was a tough one. I'm sure he'd like to have that back. And I'd like to have, you know, certainly the play call back when you get a result like that.

SPEAKER_9 (3:15)

Was he trying to hit Theo on the back side there, or do you want him to take Tracy in the flat there?

Brian Daboll (3:21)

Yeah, I mean, with the pressure, they looped around Jermaine. We had a chance at, you know, Tracy, or throw it at his feet if we don't have him. It was a shot type of play to Theo. Again, if we got sacked, we got sacked. Obviously, we don't want to turn the ball over in that situation. And you can put that on me.

Connor (3:40)

It seemed like a similar decision to the one against Cleveland, where Malik batted it away. Is there anything that you can work, again, he's kind of just tossing it up there, kind of multiple guys have a chance to bring it down?
