1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,400
Speaker 1: Darius, What was this season.

2
00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:01,560
Speaker 2: Like for you?

3
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean obviously, you know, we didn't get the

4
00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 3: results that we wanted. You know, we'd like to to

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 3: be playing in a postseason this year, you know, and

6
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 3: got some more wins, but unfortunate didn't go that way.

7
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: What do you think needs to happen in order to

8
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:16,400
Speaker 1: turn things around quickly?

9
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 3: You know, I think just like every off season, you know,

10
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 3: you need to make player acquisitions, you know, hire the

11
00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 3: right people, you know, to get this team going in

12
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 3: the right direction. And ultimately, you know, we got to

13
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: practice and play better.

14
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: What was it like to play for Mike Kafka?

15
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 3: It was good, you know, I like caf like Calfs

16
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 3: whole time is here. I think he did a good job,

17
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 3: you know, as good as he could in the situation,

18
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, picking up our team at the point we

19
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: were at. But you know, I think I did he

20
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,560
Speaker 3: did a solid job the last couple of weeks.

21
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: As a veteran. What are the qualities you'd like to

22
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: see in a head coaching guyer.

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 3: Uh, somebody you know that's Tom Coffin esque. You know,

24
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 3: I feel like, you know, he brought a lot of

25
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 3: things this organization. I think It's no mistake. Why he

26
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 3: won when he was here was his personality and the

27
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:05,720
Speaker 3: way he went about his business. And I think it

28
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 3: takes a certain type of person to be a head

29
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: coach in New York. It's a tough job, you know,

30
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 3: obviously comes with a lot of scrutiny, but you know,

31
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: I think you need to have a certain disposition to

32
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: get the job done fit effectively. And you know, I

33
00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 3: feel like he probably embodies a lot of the qualities

34
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 3: that you know, we require.

35
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:25,360
Speaker 4: Now, do you think this franchise is at a point

36
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 4: where it's got an opportunity next year to turn things

37
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 4: around quickly?

38
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 3: Yeah? For sure, because I mean I think we have

39
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 3: a ton of talent in the room. We have the

40
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:35,800
Speaker 3: team to win. You know, it's just a matter of

41
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: getting the details hammered down and closing out these games.

42
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: Char here, you just went through free agency last year.

43
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 4: Wandale, your Maine, Nacho Cordell are all going through as

44
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 4: you know, starters on this team.

45
00:01:49,240 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: What would your advice be for them? I guess especially

46
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: Wandale because.

47
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 4: You know that market.

48
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously, you know you just went for

49
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 3: a thousand yards. You know, you showed himself a lot

50
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 3: this year, which was you know, mostly you know, the

51
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 3: absence of the league and other guys that got hurt.

52
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 3: You know, he had a chance to step up, and

53
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: I think he showed that and I think it'll it'll

54
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,559
Speaker 3: the money will probably show itself in the open market.

55
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 3: You I imagine, you know, he'll get paid a good

56
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: amount of money and he's well deserved.

57
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: How did you see Jackson developed as a quarterback.

58
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 2: Throughout the year.

59
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think he got better the games. I think period,

60
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 3: he did a great job protecting the football. You know,

61
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 3: very few turnovers, especially for a rookie quarterback. You know,

62
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 3: he kind of I feel like he kind of booked

63
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 3: ten turnovers at least, you know, we have a rookie

64
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: quarterback back there. But you know, he did a great

65
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,959
Speaker 3: job protecting the ball. And then you know as he

66
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 3: went on, well, well he got a little better protecting

67
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: himself as it went on. But you know, he operated

68
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 3: the offense one and I think I think he grew

69
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:38,680
Speaker 3: a lot osier.

70
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 2: You and Dexter been here longer than anyone else, so

71
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:46,520
Speaker 2: you've seen these breakup days and they haven't been happy days.

72
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 2: You know, how frustrating is that aspect? Yeah.

73
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, you think about it. I've been

74
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 3: here seven years and you know it's about to be

75
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:56,239
Speaker 3: going into my eighth year old. I have four head coaches,

76
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 3: so literally half my career. You know, there's been a

77
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,639
Speaker 3: new voice. But you know that's that's kind of the

78
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 3: nature of the beast, and you know, we'll do our

79
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 3: best embrace the next guy in here and try to

80
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: I'll try to prevent in my time here to try

81
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 3: to prevent you know, him getting replaced wherever he might be.

82
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: Are you planning a wedding right now?

83
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, that'll be my next focus. You know I haven't

84
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 3: you know, probably ask my fiance. I haven't been as

85
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 3: much help with the season going on, but you know,

86
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 3: hopefully I I'll try to do my pull my share

87
00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 3: in that regard.

88
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: How would you assess just your season?

89
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:28,680
Speaker 3: Obviously it's a lot of up from now, but how

90
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 3: would you assess kind of where you want to go

91
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: from this year?

92
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

93
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was definitely up and down for me a

94
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 3: good bit. You know, I think I played well in

95
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 3: some spots, played not my best and some other spots,

96
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 3: and you know, I just got to get back to

97
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: it this offseason, you know, get healthy, get my mind

98
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 3: and my body right, and you know, I'm confident I'll

99
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 3: be ready to go next year.
