1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,960 Speaker 1: I think he has made such stride. 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: He was doing a good job of winning on his 3 00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:11,480 Speaker 2: routes and then really finishing through the catch. And that 4 00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: was something earlier in the year that we really wanted 5 00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,200 Speaker 2: to focus on with him and make sure that he 6 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:20,000 Speaker 2: was in a position to not only you know, be open, 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 2: but when the ball finds him, make him make the play. 8 00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:24,200 Speaker 3: And he's done a really good job about these past 9 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 3: couple of weeks. 10 00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:27,200 Speaker 1: How did he deal with the drops and he was 11 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: having some starters. 12 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 2: With that, Yeah, just kept working, was able to kind 13 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,599 Speaker 2: of go and and remember the player that that he is, 14 00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:35,959 Speaker 2: the reasons why he's here, and the reasons why he's 15 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,919 Speaker 2: been you know, put in these situations. So I think 16 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,440 Speaker 2: a lot of times it can it can get tricky, 17 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 2: especially in the climate we're in in terms of you know, 18 00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 2: you go on social media and and uh, it's easy 19 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,560 Speaker 2: to get lost in that stuff. It's easy to lose 20 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: side of who you are and easy to lose sight 21 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: of really the type of player you are. And he's 22 00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 2: done a really good job of really focusing on his 23 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: details and just remember and who he is. 24 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,680 Speaker 1: What does getting dart back do for you? 25 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:06,600 Speaker 3: Guess? 26 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, being able to you know, he's he's cleared, and 27 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: then we're gonna make sure we get him ready to go. 28 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: And and he's a good player. He's done a lot 29 00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 2: of good things. He can extend plays as a little 30 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: bit of a different element when he's out there in 31 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 2: terms of his athletic ability and play extension. But yeah, 32 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: it's it's it's always good to get our guys back. 33 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 4: For you, what's it like working with him? I know 34 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 4: how first of all, how much did you work on 35 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,319 Speaker 4: your tight ends? But did you really work a lot 36 00:01:35,360 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: with Dart before he came out. 37 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 3: To see at all? Or I mean I was. 38 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:40,600 Speaker 2: I was focused on making sure those those titands were 39 00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,280 Speaker 2: playing well. So other than just the casual conversations, there 40 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 2: wasn't much you know, working with him, I would say, 41 00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 2: but being able to get him or good to know 42 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 2: him better and how he sees the game, how he processes, 43 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 2: what he likes things along those lines, it's been really good. 44 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 2: He's a really smart player, really instinctive, sees the field 45 00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: really well, So it's been it's been cool. 46 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 4: I was just gonna ask, like, what's it been like 47 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 4: working with him? I don't he isn't clear, but just 48 00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:06,560 Speaker 4: being with him in meetings. What's what's it been like 49 00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 4: to seeing how he sees the game and learning with 50 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:09,760 Speaker 4: him and working with him. 51 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 2: Now, yeah, with the with young quarterbacks in particular, you know, 52 00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,239 Speaker 2: there's a lot of different things that that that different quirks, 53 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: if you will, is to as to how they how 54 00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,480 Speaker 2: they see it, what they like when when they like things. 55 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,080 Speaker 2: So again it's like get to know somebody and understanding 56 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:31,360 Speaker 2: kind of what what his go tos are. And and 57 00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,520 Speaker 2: again he's he's a hell of a player and he's 58 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 2: done a great job of making plays for us, and 59 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: we need to keep putting positions to do. 60 00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,560 Speaker 5: So how much do you coming off the concussion have 61 00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 5: to be in his ear say hey, get down, get 62 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 5: out of bound. So let's try to avoid taking some 63 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 5: of these big hits, you know what. 64 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 3: I think that's uh. 65 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: A big part of playing quarterback, and especially especially starting quarterbacks, 66 00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:01,160 Speaker 2: especially guys that have his mobility. His mindset is really 67 00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: understanding the value of being available, you know, and you're 68 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 2: never going to take that that mindset away from him, 69 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 2: and that that's the main reason as to you know, 70 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,519 Speaker 2: why he is who he is, but being able to 71 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: understand when when you need to put the cape on 72 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,400 Speaker 2: and you know when it's okay to go ahead and slide. 73 00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: So uh again, I think that's part of the process 74 00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 2: for these younger quarterbacks coming into the league is just 75 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:32,720 Speaker 2: understanding you know, you always have that mindset of you know, 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,040 Speaker 2: I'm going to do everything I can to to go 77 00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 2: get that last yard. Well, you know, a yard with 78 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 2: twelve minutes ago in the first in the first quarter 79 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: is a little bit different than you know, a yard 80 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,320 Speaker 2: to go with you know, ten seconds of go in 81 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 2: the game. So being able to have some situational awareness 82 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 2: there and understand when when we need him to put 83 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 2: the cape on and you know, when he needs to 84 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 2: protect himself. 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 5: Any familiarity with you going up against the defense that 86 00:03:58,160 --> 00:03:59,640 Speaker 5: you were going to see on Monday night. 87 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 3: A little it. 88 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 2: You know, spent a couple of years there with Mike 89 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 2: and and you know, a couple of years with them 90 00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: in Houston and and played against them, call plays against them. 91 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 3: Uh. 92 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 2: But yeah, so there's some familiarity with the scheme with 93 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 2: the players. Obviously with Harold and and some of those 94 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 2: guys that he's got, but yeah, they're there. 95 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,279 Speaker 3: There's some familiarity he's past. 96 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 1: You guys really committed to their run. Uh and even 97 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,719 Speaker 1: the box sports aunts man ever to jump out, what 98 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:29,559 Speaker 1: has been behind that? Why has that been such an 99 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: emphasis for you guys. 100 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: You know, really leaning on leaning on our offensive line. 101 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 2: They're doing a really good job of keeping us clean 102 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 2: and and making sure that we're able to be efficient 103 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,280 Speaker 2: in the run game. And in doing so, it's it's 104 00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:47,359 Speaker 2: been able to open up some different opportunities for us 105 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 2: in the past game and really trying to tie all 106 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 2: that together. Uh So, obviously Jamis did a great job 107 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,400 Speaker 2: last week and being able to go and and make. 108 00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: Some exposive plays there for us, particularly in. 109 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,360 Speaker 2: The play action game, and and our ability to run 110 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 2: the ball effective league and willingness to do so. 111 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,320 Speaker 3: I think it's open up that up. 112 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,600 Speaker 1: You guys pull out the bag of tricks like you did. 113 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,040 Speaker 1: What do you think that kind of message tends to 114 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 1: your players. 115 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 2: That there's a good play that's gonna score points. We're 116 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: gonna call it, you know, big thing one a long 117 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 2: time ago is just being able to trust your players, 118 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 2: you know. Uh, I don't think anybody quite Sawid Jamis's 119 00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,000 Speaker 2: touchdown and up the way that it did. But when 120 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: the ball was in the air and saw the matchup. 121 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: There was there was no panic from anybody on the sideline. 122 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,960 Speaker 2: You know, there's multiple examples. I'm sure you guys remember 123 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 2: during camp at him going and shaking and stiff arming 124 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:37,719 Speaker 2: and doing all that, and everyone had a good laugh 125 00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 2: about it. But the way that play finished didn't really 126 00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 2: surprise me. 127 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 3: We've seen it. 128 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:44,640 Speaker 2: We saw it in Buffalo, we saw it in training camp, 129 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: and it's just really our ability to trust our players. 130 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,800 Speaker 2: So their ability to go ahead and execute throughout the 131 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,520 Speaker 2: week during practice when we call those plays gives you 132 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 2: a lot of confidence to be able to go and 133 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:56,799 Speaker 2: call that in a game and know something good's gonna. 134 00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880 Speaker 3: Happen land on those plays last week? 135 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 5: Is it sorting during the week, you know, went back 136 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 5: and found they had. 137 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think collectively, as you know, as you're going 138 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 2: through it, you see opportunities that come up. Hey, this, 139 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 2: Mary's was something we've done. You know, this looks like 140 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:17,119 Speaker 2: something we've done in the past or earlier in the game. 141 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:21,919 Speaker 2: The way they run a certain scheme may lend themselves 142 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,880 Speaker 2: to be exposed in a certain situation. So yeah, there's 143 00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: a lot that goes into it. But those are two 144 00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,400 Speaker 2: that we liked going into the game and they both 145 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,040 Speaker 2: hit for us, you know. 146 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 1: Calling the places. But so that last sequence they're downe 147 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: by the goal line late in regulation. Just taking it 148 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 1: through what you're hearing on the headsets, what your thought 149 00:06:37,640 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: was on just the overall approach there. 150 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, obviously you know had the well the first down, 151 00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,520 Speaker 2: we had the good run to get us to the two. 152 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 2: We ended up calling the action on second down. 153 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,039 Speaker 3: I thought it was good play. I thought we just 154 00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 3: missed the throw. 155 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: Third and goal from the two, figuring we have four 156 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,800 Speaker 2: downs to go and win it and essentially end the game. 157 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 2: Aiden made a great play jump the count, wasn't it. 158 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 2: Obviously wasn't expecting losing four yards on that and at 159 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: that point in time, you know, felt like we still 160 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:11,000 Speaker 2: had a good player to be able to go and 161 00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: put the dagger in them, and just unfortunately we weren't 162 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 2: able to come. 163 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:15,560 Speaker 3: Up with the ball. 164 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:20,240 Speaker 5: You guys seem to have that thought process on third 165 00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 5: down a lot, like, you know you're gonna go fourth 166 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 5: on fourth, let's just get yards on third down, run 167 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 5: it and at least give us a chance to give 168 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 5: us maybe both options on fourth down. How much is 169 00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 5: that what you guys are thinking behind it and take 170 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 5: us through like what your thought process is. 171 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, there's there's always certain things. You know, where you're 172 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 2: at in the field, how the game's going, you know, 173 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 2: how we're playing up front, how the quarterback's playing. You 174 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: have non under grab it there you go. So I 175 00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 2: think there's a lot that goes into it. And and again, 176 00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,239 Speaker 2: our ability to effectively run the football, you know, keeps 177 00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,320 Speaker 2: those opportunities open for us. And you know, one of 178 00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 2: the luxuries of having the play caller be the ultimate 179 00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,800 Speaker 2: decision makers that he knows in his head, Hey, if 180 00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:07,600 Speaker 2: I get it to this down and distance, we're going 181 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: for it. So it definitely allows a little bit more 182 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:12,920 Speaker 2: freedom there with the second and third down calls, knowing 183 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 2: that I got to get it to this number in 184 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 2: order to go for it. So again, our guy has 185 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:20,160 Speaker 2: done a really good job. I think we're a third 186 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,600 Speaker 2: and four that one for eight last week. And the 187 00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 2: other thing it does too is it keeps the defense honest. 188 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 2: You know, typically when you get into those third down situations, 189 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,960 Speaker 2: you're seeing a bunch of exotic fronts, multiple blitzers, things 190 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: along those lines that may not be the most sound 191 00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 2: versus a simple run, and so you're giving them something 192 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 2: to think about. Also, as they're putting their third down 193 00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 2: package together.
