Ben Johnson on Week 5 loss — Press Conference

[0:00] three injuries of note here we got Tyreek with a hamstring we got TJ Edwards with a hamstring [0:05] and then we got Dio with a quad so we'll see what that looks like there tomorrow [0:10] you know really the things that we had done well in the three victories that we had this [0:14] this year we they didn't show up today so we didn't take care of the football five turnovers [0:20] on offense we didn't execute a very high level in the run game or the passing game and then [0:25] defensively we let the ball over our head too many times so got four passes over over 40 yards or more [0:32] so you know credit credit to Green Bay they came out we knew we were going to get their best shot [0:37] and we sure did and you know I thought we had our opportunities to get back into that game [0:42] and we didn't maximize those opportunities so we'll go ahead and we'll look at this tape and [0:47] and we'll clean it up and we'll keep it going from there but open it up and the second touchdown to [0:52] lots of going with a really good position then just to get a play on the ball what did you see on [0:57] that sequence yeah no I think that's it was that the third and 22 was that that one yeah um uh you [1:04] know that's one of those things where uh that's their mo they they do a nice job being aggressive [1:09] there on third and long and um you know you know love when he's got a little bit of time he's got a lot [1:14] of trust in those past catchers and so I had some space out there and um you know we must have just [1:20] taken a little little bad angle there do you have a sense of a wide defensive way there were so many [1:24] chunk completions something that we'll look at um you know they certainly had a good plan against us [1:31] you know they're good offensive staff and uh they do a really good job uh throughout but uh you know [1:37] I liked our plan going into this game as well so we'll see what that looked like and on offense are [1:41] you digging deep into the playbook trying to find something that'll get things going or is it more [1:46] staying the course and hoping things to happen to play yeah yeah I mean it's it's one of those [1:51] things um when you can't get in a rhythm offensively like today um I gotta look at myself first and just [2:00] what do we have in and did we prepare the right way and certainly what the play calls were in real time [2:06] also you know they they had a nice plan Jonathan Gannon has been doing this for for a long time and uh [2:12] I thought he did a great job today uh keeping us off balance and yet we simply didn't execute at [2:18] the level that that we expected to go into the game um and so yeah we'll look at we'll look at [2:24] everything now we got five games under our belt and we got a good uh self scout going in terms of [2:29] what we're doing well and what the what the 2026 bears are are all about offense defense and special [2:35] teams and at the point that you pulled tyson and went to case kind of what went through that decision [2:40] yeah we we felt like we just wanted a little spark there um you know tyson just could never [2:45] feel like he got in a rhythm here um today and so we'll look at why that was the case and and uh [2:52] you know the second interception happened and we just felt like let's let's give a chase a case [2:56] a chance out there and see if we get different results do you feel like uh tyson was pressing or [3:02] what did you see on his interceptions you'd have to ask him about that um you know it's it's one of [3:09] those things we got to do a good job taking care of the football uh three interceptions as a whole [3:13] and and that's too many so hard to overcome five turnovers do you have a sense of what happened on [3:18] tyson's second interception i i don't right now no you watch this film is it a sense of like trying [3:24] to go through everything and try and fix everything that went wrong or you look at it as such an anomaly [3:28] anomaly that perhaps you just want to flush it as quick as possible and move on no we'll do what we do [3:34] every week and we'll look at uh we'll look at what we did well and what we didn't do well enough i mean [3:39] it's winning minimizes the mistakes uh losing maximizes them they're there every single week [3:45] and and i'll tell you what i told the team i believe in this coaching staff i believe in our [3:49] players and i believe in our process and so the process doesn't change process doesn't change it's [3:54] week five um i know we'll respond the right way we got the right guys in this in this building when did [4:00] you start at the game when did you start weighing a quarterback change how long did you hold it was [4:05] after the second interception tribute just not being able to get the run game going in the first [4:10] quarter too yeah yeah once again i put that on myself i got to look at what i was calling and and [4:16] why i couldn't get going um to the extent that we we wanted it too uh hard to say at this moment you [4:22] know maybe tomorrow i'll have better answers on that what about green base defense left an impression on you [4:27] today say it again green base defense what left an impression on you about the league no it's exactly what you saw [4:32] on tape man it's a fast group and uh you know the safeties are all over the place the nickel's a [4:37] really good player um the linebacker um you could see he's doing a great job communicating making [4:43] changes they made adjustments in real time at the line of scrimmage and and the front is is uh is [4:48] playing hard so um it's a challenging unit and and they made things very difficult on us but at the same [4:54] time um you know we just we didn't execute the plan the way that we're capable of doing i know that as well [5:00] we didn't have a chance to talk to you after caleb went back to practice on friday do you feel like [5:05] he's close for atlanta or is that why do you yeah he's on track we'll uh we'll see where we'll see if [5:12] it's atlanta or after um i think it's going to be close what type of feedback do you get you obviously [5:18] worked out this morning on the field what kind of feedback do you get from a session like that [5:22] i've gotten none yet i was solely focused on the game if he's not able to play um in weeks i guess week [5:29] six coming up how do you weigh just both backups that you have do you go back to tyson in that [5:33] situation or is there a discussion about whether case is going to start yeah we'll do we do the [5:37] same thing we do every week we talk as a staff we'll recap this game and uh you know we'll make [5:41] a decision going into next week what's what's best for us a lot of horizontal attacking out there they [5:48] was that initially a part of the game plan or was it something you kind of went to when the vertical [5:52] game wasn't kind of unlocking um yeah i didn't feel like it was anything out of the ordinary of [5:58] force and in how we attack these guys but uh certainly we can look to stretch the field more [6:03] going forward thank you thank you
