00:00Mike McCarthy joins here 105 through the fan.
00:18All right, this past week, you know, Cooper, this was not the best game he's had.
00:22We've seen him play tremendous in the past.
00:25Do you think his neck was the main reason for his performance on Sunday?
00:31I mean, it definitely didn't help him.
00:34He took a good shot there, so he's shown better.
00:39But hey, it's another week.
00:42There's always plays early in the game, especially any time you're having your first start or
00:50you come in as a backup, you know, you're just trying to get some credibility into the
00:56game.
00:57I'm talking about just getting completions and getting on a roll and getting that momentum
01:02going in the huddle.
01:04And we just really can never establish that.
01:07Coach, we know you want to go downfield more.
01:10We saw him make a couple of nice throws the previous week.
01:13Was the lack of downfield passing attack more of what they were doing defensively?
01:19Upper neck, a combination of things.
01:22What led to kind of the lack of downfield attempts in the passing game?
01:27I think, you know, just like anything, you're going through a game plan, you're usually
01:32setting up those type of throws, those type of plays, and, you know, I was, you know,
01:40I felt like we were in good shape at halftime as far as, you know, how we were playing the
01:44game.
01:45You know, you take away the two turnovers here, I mean, those were huge plays in the
01:49first half.
01:50I mean, it's a different ballgame for us, you know.
01:52We would have definitely been in the lead, but the ability to run it and set some of
01:56those throws up was the plan.
01:57You know, the thing that really got us was, you know, the 3-0 in the second half and then
02:02the three giveaways.
02:03It's just, you know, you're not going to get behind people too much in that situation.
02:09Coach, we heard you speak really highly before of your quarterbacks coach and a former player
02:14of yours, Scott Tolsing.
02:16When you're trying to get a backup quarterback ready to play, like Cooper Rush, how helpful
02:20is it to have somebody there coaching the position who you've had direct experience
02:24with preparing them to do this very thing and play in place of your starter?
02:28So, I mean, I think it's very important.
02:31I think the opportunity to have former quarterbacks in the room is important.
02:36You know, Scott has been in Cooper's chair, so, and they, you know, they have a different
02:43relationship than, you know, than anybody on that team, so, yeah, I think it's very
02:48important to have former quarterbacks in your room.
02:51And I know just from a design perspective, you know, as a head coach, you know, always
02:57being, you know, in the quarterback room for 30 plus years, but, you know, I did not play
03:01the position, so I think it's important to have, you know, if you can, one of your former
03:06quarterbacks, but definitely have that quarterback experience in the room.
03:10I think it's a relationship, it's a connection that Scott has with the other quarterbacks
03:16that's very important.
