okay uh you got a smile on my face I was proud of our guys it bounced back I knew they would uh right mindset you know and it look it takes a special group of guys to emotionally physically uh psychologically bounced back after a tough loss especially when you haven’t lost in a while go out win on the road again uh you know I told the guys that uh I did know that that was that was a team record franchise record 13 wins and never been done and I told him one day we’ll be able to look back and enjoy that but but not yet it’s not the time so uh we got our work cut out for us next week San Francisco on the road very good team um but as far as today we did what we had to do got two takeaways turned those into 10 points um you know got up on them uh early and really was able to control the game you know um and it just you know I thought we played that game the right way thought we played it the right way so it’s good job L guys watch watching Washington just go up on Philadelphia the oh they did I didn’t know what that was how much time’s left yeah I got you well why don’t we just sit here and wait for this I did suggest that offensively um you you talk about those scored 6 year first seven possessions I think and U wanted to ask you specifically about the the Florida play the the stumbles there was that a a plan kind of stumble with him and stumble with the running back that set up there cuz it fro the defensive a for open I’ve never seen that before you have a big smile so I’m guessing it was just how deep does the it was uh yeah it was listen Ben Ben that was one of his brain shs and uh and we it started that way and then we massaged it and worked and what you know you know how do how do we make this thing better and then you know just golf and Gibby and leaport of the old line making it work so we we cooked it all week and they did a heck of a job they really did when that works like that just how much do you have just a smile on your face yeah I mean those make you feel good you know because everybody’s invested in it it’s fun it’s different it’s sound you know I know it sounds crazy but it’s sound I mean the thing did start is like dribbling the ball on the ground you know which um but and so that’s the thing that that you have all those ele and really everybody’s involved in it so you know they’re all they’re all kind of accountable to it too they want to make it work so um it was just great to see and and it was better than practice you know it’s just no different than the shot to J it looked good in practice that that was better than practice you know I mean it was a hell of a throw excellent protection and man just a great great job man on his Landmark hitting it with speed trust in it great catch and it’s big time speaking of the second in a row J put deep ball on how we seen that connection come this season say the last part how we seen that connection become a little bit more refined the season yeah you’re you’re saying that it’s become more refined yeah I would agree with that and it look it’s as with anything you know when you work things enough and gain confidence but then get in the game and make those things happen uh you gain another level of confidence and you know those are the don’t always get worked right those are those some can say lower percentage throws and so you don’t always get all those but the more you hit and the more you do it the more you trust who you’re throwing to where he’s going to be the speed he trusts to throw then you get better at it and so I you know I feel really good with where we’re at and uh you know he’s got rare speed and rear ability I thought he had a great week of practice talking about J and and golf continues to just play at a at a high level so it was it was great it really was how much do you appreciate J response the early taunting penalty saw you had a couple words with him just the play back the way he did career most oh he he was great he was great you know he he was so came over and it’s like look you just can’t give him a free ride you know and and uh he knew you know so just get it out of the way and get back on the field and uh he was good man I that’s look that’s what I love about him he doesn’t he don’t get been out of shape you know uh um he just got it you know and uh he goes back in and it doesn’t affect the way he plays the rest of the game it was great man I I really love where he’s at right now I I do and I know you didn’t have any doubts after last week even if other people did but um to be here now injuries your offense recovered I mean even the Eagles lost I mean did they lose yeah yeah yeah I mean from last week to now you must feel World better or not feel no I uh well getting a winds always makes you feel better you know but it’s really the 24-hour deal you just you know you get through that and you know you you lick your wounds a little bit and and then you get back on your feet and what do we got to do to get better you know where do what do we have to clean up and look at it for what it is and not the loss like you know there’s things that cause the loss and it’s really that simple and and Man by I mean by Tuesday like I’m raring to go and and I think most of the players are that way and the other coaches are that way and and so then it’s just about man let’s get to the next game and uh put our best foot forward and go get a w and I just think we got a group of guys that we all feel the same way man we don’t go in the tank um you know we don’t lack confidence and you know I I think um just collectively I know look I I gravitate to people that that are like me in that manner and between coaches players and I think that’s you know we have a group that is that way uh they’re very resilient and uh they get aggravated if if they lose and they they want to clean it up so they’re competitive they said the you know played a pretty complete game and and I think most people would have expected you to beat this team just given the record like that how much can you totally tell about where your team is your defense is some of those things until you play a team like the Vikings or until you get into the playoffs do you know enough yeah you can you can tell a lot to me you can tell a lot and look there’s things we’ve got to clean up from this game I mean we we’ve got a lot to clean up and um but I as I told them the two most important things for me was I wanted to see us play Detroit football and I wanted to win that was it I didn’t gave no other stipulations now we have all the you know offensively defensively we have the keys to Victory all that but but basically that’s what I saw I just wanted to see our identity take shape and I wanted to win this game and uh and we did that so now we’re back on our feet and now it’s about we got to clean some things up you know and because what was good enough today will not be good enough for Minnesota and it won’t be good enough for Philly or whoever some of these teams are Tampa again I don’t know who’s going to be the Rams we like we got to you know we got but that’s the point was this week there was things we needed to clean up with where we were at and begin to learn how to play with where we’re at we did that now next week we’ll know a little bit more and we’ll be able to adjust and then the final week we’ll learn learn a little bit more and be able to adjust and then by then you’re in the playoffs and you’re playing your best football with where you’re at about trick plays a little bit a lot of Celebration there it seems like it’s R how do you balance that having fun but also staying Focus uh I mean you know I think you I think you do both right I think you I think there is fun and focus you know there is fun and focus when it turns to to those type of plays having success you know when you score and you win and um I think they you know that’s that’s kind of the environment that you I guess that you Foster you know um and because ultimately we want our guys to be challenged we want them accountable we want them to have fun we want them to have ownership um and investment man we we we’re all a part of this and um and I think that’s huge and I think our guys get that and really you to me to have a healthy group of guys a healthy team you need every emotion involved everything needs to be involved to get the whole person uh and the whole player so I love where we’re at you know we got a lot to clean up but we have a resilient group and like I said every game may be like today was um and what I mean by that is it may not be the cleanest we just got to win we just got to win and get more efficient at winning with where we’re at and so this was a good step that way speak of the competitive nature of the group the reaction we heard behind the wall I assume tied to Washington’s touchdown can you describe it all the what this means chasing the number one seed the the feeling the emotion the joy of all of this just Bas of what we heard five minutes ago yeah I mean um I don’t know if I can tap into that like the players could right now because I’m just trying to recover from this game um I I get pretty emotionally drained after these so um but I do know that it’s exciting to be where where we’re at it really is and like this is to me this is why you this is why you want to coach and play in this league this is this is when your eyes get open when competition is is at its highest people are breathing down your neck or you’re chasing somebody and you’re at the top and it just doesn’t get any better than this this is what it’s all about um and so you know can it get frustrating can it get stressful can it yeah it gets all those but it’s also it it’s it’s the drug it’s the drug you know it this is what you you live for and look some can’t some can’t handle this it’s too much for them um players coaches teams it’s just too much but not our group this is this is the good stuff man we’re in the middle of it right now before you go Gibbs you leaned on him heavy early he had a big game just you know thoughts on the way that he played and carrying the load that he did yeah I thought he did a good job I I did you know I I didn’t think that uh we missed a beat with him just taking on a little bit more of those I I thought Jefferson and Craig stepped in and were solid in the roles that uh we had for them both of those guys made critical plays and so um yeah I I thought it was good and look that was that was somewhat his first taste of you know really taking on more of the load and so that’s good that’s step one and um it was good good exposure yep
