Q: On his assessment of QB Mac Jones's starting performance?Pederson: "I thought the way the video game started, it fit right into his wheelhouse. ometimes we can do a better job placing our players in much better circumstances. I assumed as well, protection malfunctions got him off his place a little bit. He missed out on a few points. There's some things that he would certainly want back, certainly, the two interceptions, the fumble. I mean, those are points that we can not do, right? Especially at the end of the game. If he obtains a possibility today, I know he'll be much better. One more opportunity, one more week of work. He'll pick up from it, undoubtedly. He takes it hard Johnny Juzang Jersey, takes it personal, which he should. Most of us do. Yet we still have a lots of self-confidence in him." Q: On the pass protection effort vs. Minnesota's pass rush?Pederson: "It was a bit of every little thing, honestly. Seeing it again today, just a little bit of every little thing.

Even Travon's [DE Travon Walker penalty at the end, he's trying to punch the ball out and obtain the sphere back for the infraction, which seeks 80-plus breaks. Men are proceeding to fight." Q: On if he feels the team needs to perform perfectly?Pederson: "There's times where it feels like that, where you have actually reached be perfect. I believe type of our season has actually been this way. We haven't been able to type of develop-- I mean, we created some very early in the period and certainly the other day was difficult to obtain that started. Listen, mistakes are mosting likely to take place. Guys are battling their tails off and all of that. I assume you simply can't make a lot of mistakes and attempt to overcome them. Specifically where there's a fine or turn over or things of that nature. Those things are tough to sometime overcome." Q: On if it's aggravating playing at a high-level in the 2nd fifty percent of the season yet not having the ability to see the exact same success as in the 2022 season?Pederson: "Yeah, there's a few of that. I believe what's interesting is, you look at the body of job during the week and afterwards it's not carrying over to the game totally. A great deal of it is, and there belong to it that isn't, and the parts that aren't are clearly the ones holding us back. That's the aggravating part. The individuals would certainly claim they recognize that, and they see it. We remain to show it to them. Even as trains, we take it hard. We placed tactical plan with each other and coach them during the week, and so we take it personal as well." Q: On especially which components of the weekly preparation that aren't lugging over to games?Pederson: "I don't know. Possibly just points like remaining in your space if you're a protective electrician or the protection concerns we had the other day, it can be a QB read, a choice he makes. Points that you would think that the guys would know. The game goes quickly. Maybe a young defensive back whose eyes remain in the incorrect location. Points like that." Q: On if there was contact with QB Mac Jones on his 2nd interception and if that influenced the throw?Pederson: "It resembles he gets bumped. If he did, yes, due to where the ball wound up. Because we had a blog post route and an edge path, kind of a mix there. It resembled it could've easily gotten-- even on tape it was hard to see-- you would certainly have to go back and see the T.V. duplicate undoubtedly, however it absolutely affected, I assume, the trajectory of where the sphere wound up." Q: On the cornerbacks' efficiency covering Vikings pass receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison?Pederson: "I believed the edges played really well. Really well. To hold that team to truly not a lot offensively was great. They played physical. They came up and made deals with. I assumed Buster [CB Montaric Brown, Darby [CB Ronald Darby, you see Tyson [CB Tyson Campbell. I imply, these people are fighting and playing truly well. They appeared like, to me, and actually for the entire second Timberwolves Jerseys, playing their best football yesterday." Q: On what he's seen from DE Josh Hines-Allen recently?Pederson: "I assume one of things you're seeing, and this is the enhancement, I believe, of our whole protection, is just how they have actually remained to work throughout the week. They have actually acquired right into the plan and what the guys are educating and mentoring, and youre seeing that gradual improvement. Guys are recognizing that. Josh is among them and Travon is just one of them. Clearly, those individuals are in advance. However yes, I assume the strategy, relying on that and trusting himself, obviously, what he sees and what he sees with the position of the deals with. If he playing on a limited end or whatever it could be. o yeah, he been playing good." Q: On remaining hopeful for the rest of the season?Pederson: "Yes. 100 percent. I believe our objectives and whatever are right before us. Regardless of the mistakes and the losses, certainly. It a crazy service and it can change for us in a rush the various other means and get favorable in a fast way. Yet the people haven't taken a look at whatsoever. They put in the time throughout the week. It hard. You injure for the guys since you simply see just how much they put right into it. And afterwards theyre not compensated for it. To have six one-score losses, six video games. It hard. That's difficult. ometimes we make it hard. However yet the men, like I claimed, they see it. They understand it. Were done in it together and we attempt to repair them and proceed." Q: On what Lawrence can obtain from getting on the sideline?Pederson: "Yeah, I inform you what, he was really involved yesterday. Assisted Mac the entire day. We had terrific discussions on the sideline, points that he saw. o yeah, that something that he can absolutely get a little different point of view, calmer eyes, and see just how the video game moves." Q: On how his monitorings from the sideline can convert onto the field?Pederson: "ure. ure. It sort of the memory, right? It what you see and just having the ability to trust particular points, count on on your own, and then trust what you see defensively to make decisions throwing the sphere. Yeah, that can all bring over." Q: On how OL Walker Little and OL Anton Harrison have been playing recently?Pederson: "Yeah, I suggest, I think both people have been playing well. There are some plays the other day that they would certainly like to have back, obviously. Yet I assume for most of the period, theyve done a great task. Pedestrian sort of worked out right into that place. But both people, they play physical, they play hard. Theyre both smart individuals, athletic. Have done a good job."
