Nick Sirianni On Loss to Chicago Bears

Nick Sirianni On Loss to Chicago Bears

I know you told us during the week that you weren’t considering play callers, but now that you have 10 days between this game and the next one, is that something you’ll evaluate with that time? You know, we’ll evaluate obviously everything, but like I said to you guys, you know, when you win, when you lose, it’s never about one person. Um, we all collectively have to do a better job. And that’s going to be starting with us as coaches, starting with me as a coach finding solutions um to, you know, getting the the offense going. Um and so I’ll put that, you know, on us as a staff and put that on me most most individually um there to help get, you know, get this thing pointed in the right direction. But yeah, no, I still still stay with that. You can’t it’s the greatest team sport there is and and it’s never about one person. Um, we all have to look internally and all have to get better in coaches and players. 10 11. Yeah. If I wish I I could tell you this is this is exactly what it is. And this this is hard, you know, um, you know, it’s not it’s not easy um to, you know, to to be successful, stay stay successful. So we we have to f again um we have to do it collectively. We have to do it collectively as a unit. Like obviously if I knew exactly what it was and everything that it was then we’ we’d have fixed it. But right now, you know, we’re still we’re still searching and we’re still looking and um a lot of football left to play. Eight and four right now. A lot of football left to play. Um, and this weekend will be, you know, an opportunity for us to to find more answers and to figure things out as coaches, players being able to rest uh to to to gear up for this last this last stretch of what, five games left. Um, but obviously hasn’t been hasn’t been good enough um, coaching, playing and and we got to find answers. I never had a chance to watch from your initial reaction to the game. You guys, you know, um, again, I it was I felt like just the entire it was it was both units, offense, defense. Um, hats off to them. They they played a good game. They coached a good game, you know, they out coached us. They outplayed us. Um, and so that’s obviously something that I need to go through and watch the tape. um look through it. Um but to say, you know, I don’t want to, you know, again, they ran for however many yards, we didn’t run for many yards. Um um you know, we lost the turnover battle, we lost the explosive play battle. Um all those things are going to are going to uh dictate the win and loss. Typically, you pride yourself on having a very physical team. They ran for 281 today. What is what is the disconnect that you think happened there? Yeah. Um, again, have to have to look at it. Um, they did they they did a really good job of, you know, kind of how they attacked and, you know, executing it. Um, hats off to them. Um, but, you know, obviously we’ve won a lot of football games, you know, being on the other end of that. And so, we just got to get back to to playing and coaching equals football. Can you take us through the end of the first half there? You let like 30 seconds or so run run off the clock to the two-minute warning. Normally we see you pushing pushing for points. What? We were still pushing for points. Um uh we were still pushing for points. Um you know we had three timeouts ball at the 30 whatever 38. We had plenty of time to go and score a touchdown and and be the last ones with the football. Um so you know we got the one yard on the on the completion with 237 or whatever. Um and then took it to the two-minute warning. Um and we were going on the ball after that. That seems uncharacteristic of you to No, no, we we would play that. That’s that was pretty, you know, that that’s that’s normal to how we would play that with the end of a half, but we were still, you know, again, when we got back to um you know, getting getting it off a second down on the two-minute warning, we would have been on the ball there and gone. If I could ask you um just to clarify what you said earlier about evaluating everything. So, does that mean you are evaluating like changing the play card? No, we’re not. We’re not changing the play caller. We’re eval but we will evaluate everything. Um and that’s with this weekend. We’ll have another little mini buy and I think that’s the you know another short week or you know another short week that leads to a long weekend where we’ll evaluate everything. But again like I said after that um it’s never just about one person. All right. You can’t you win as a team, you lose as a team and you try to evaluate everything um win, lose or draw and and get better from it. What’s been doing to give you that confidence? Yeah. Again, I just I have confidence in the entire group. Again, I know it will keep coming back to Kevin. Um but again, if I thought it was one thing, then you make those changes. Obviously, it’s a it’s a lot of different things. Um but I yeah I don’t I don’t think it is the you know Kevin um now we all have a part of it. Kevin has a part of it. I have a part of it. Co uh all the coaches have a part of it. All the players have a part of it. Again it is again you win and lose as a team. It’s never on one thing. Had 13 carries, 34 passes for Jaylen on a windy night. Is that just a a game flow thing? Yeah. And then also how you you know how the game goes at the end where you’re trying to to get back in the game. We obviously had a lot of throws there uh at the end. I thought early on we had some we had some good runs. We didn’t have a ton of plays in the first half, but early on we had some good runs, but I think you can chalk that up. Again, you know, we want to be balanced um with how we attack, but we’ll do whatever we need to do to try to win each and every game. Obviously, we didn’t tonight, but I think a little bit of that was, you know, some of the two-minute stuff that we had uh there at the end of the game. Is there a plan? Is there a plan to get into to tank at some point? He obviously had that one really big game and he has not uh seen the field as much as Yeah, he’s still he’s still always going to be the guy that comes in for Saquon and like I said, you know, we want to get Saquon more than 13 carries also. Um but you know, we have a lot of confidence in him when he goes into the football game to to make plays. Um and we’ll continue to roll uh the way we are rolling with it. And um but yeah, he when he goes in, he’s he’s he’s had some really good plays. Um, but yeah, we’ll continue to roll. We want to make sure we get Saquon the football because we know how explosive he can be when he has the football. The biggest issues with the run defense tonight. I’m sorry. The biggest issues with the run defense? Yeah. Again, it’s again, it’s it’s a lot of different things. So, you’re going to you’re going to look and say, first of all, did we did we do the things we needed to do as coaches to to help put them in positions? And then it’s going to be about block destruction, tackling, um, you know, getting how we get off the blocks, how we tackle. Um, you’ll have to look at that. uh felt like we, you know, uh Swift had a couple um um opportunities or had a couple plays that he got some extra yards with uh some yards after making making some some guys miss. He’s an electric back. Um but again, it was I’ll have to look at exactly what all of it that went down, but I know that when you’re giving up that many yards, again, it’s everybody has a hand in that. So, um, you know, how we, you know, with where we are as far as, you know, how we where we’re putting guys on defense, but then also how we block destruct and how we, you know, take on blocks and how we um and how we tackle. There’s a couple more factors of blocking block destruction and those I’m sure there’s schematic parts of that, but in correcting, it seems like there might be a motivational an effort part of that toughness on your on how you get that across. How do you go about correcting that? Yeah, you know, I I see our guys playing with extreme extreme effort. Um that’s something we talk about a lot. We look at a lot. We chart our loafs. Um and our guys, you know, I I know I’ve seen for the past um what are we on 12 games or 11 games, extreme effort. So I I’m never going to question that because I’ they’ve they’ve proven it to me over and over and over again how how hard they play for each other. Um so I don’t I don’t think at all it was an effort thing. John Hers’s performance. Yeah, again, we just the the as an offense as a whole. Um, obviously we weren’t good enough as an offense as a whole. Um, coaching, playing everything. Um, obviously go back, look at everything. Um, but I thought he made some some good plays, had some good scrambles, had some good things um that he did and he’s going to want just like all of us, he had some plays that he’ll want back and have and he had some really good plays. Um, but again, we just weren’t consistent enough as a whole. to go down nine in scoring to go down nine. What’s the thinking between the two-point conversion, the first touchdown, and then the potential second touchdown? Yeah. Um, obviously, we had to get one at one point. Um, we had to get a two-point conversion at one point. Um, I’ve done a lot of studies on that um in my notes, you know, down nine. I’m always going to go for uh two in that scenario. So I felt I followed the plan that you know again I don’t I don’t try to take anything for I don’t try to wing anything in situational football. Um that’s what I wanted to do. Um that’s in my notes from uh my studies in the past and and that’s what we did. Now the thought behind it is you know at least you know you want to know exactly um what you need right there. Um as far as you know if you go down seven then obviously it’s a one-sore game. If you go down eight, I know it’s a one-sore game as well. Um, but yeah, that’s that’s just the that’s what we do in that in that scenario. I’ll always go back and and look and re reconsider reconsider things. Um, you know, had three timeouts there uh to be able to to potentially kick it deep there if if we did get, you know, if we did get it. Obviously, we didn’t in that particular case, but at some point, you’re going to need it. And I always want to know early what I need uh going forward. All right. Thank you, Coach. Thanks, everybody.
