00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,320
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants huddle on Giants

2
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: dot com.

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 2: We go here, we go on the Giants bob let

4
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 2: him there, let's go part of the Giants podcast Network.

5
00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 2: Welcome to another edition of the Giants Httle Podcast. My

6
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: name is John Schmelk. This begins our player interview series.

7
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: Over the next six or eight weeks or so, you'll

8
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 2: be hearing a variety of player interviews. Those interviews were

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: conducted right as the Giants wrapped up mandatory mini camp,

10
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 2: So we'll recap the players off seasons, look back a

11
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 2: little bit to twenty twenty two, and then look ahead

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 2: to twenty twenty three. We'll go position by position, and

13
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 2: we're going to lead it off with the most important

14
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: position on the football field, that is quarterback. So we

15
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Speaker 2: had a chance to talk to both Giants backup quarterback

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,879
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor and starter Daniel Jones about a variety of topics.

17
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Let's lead it off with the starting quarterback of the

18
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: NYG Daniel Jones. And now we're joined here on the

19
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 2: Giant Httle Podcast by Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.

20
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 3: D J.

21
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 2: How are you man doing well?

22
00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 3: How are you doing?

23
00:00:57,560 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 2: I'm doing great, So how has this offseason been for you?

24
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: It's kind of a different offseason, I'm sure in a

25
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:03,319
Speaker 2: in a fun way. Right.

26
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been good. It's been good, you know, getting

27
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 3: through the OTA's off season program. Feel like we made

28
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 3: a lot of progress and took a big step, but

29
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 3: still a lot of work to do. So yeah, I

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,039
Speaker 3: set towards now, towards training camp and getting ready to go.

31
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: Then how is your approach different having been in this

32
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 2: offense now for a second straight year compared to last year?

33
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 2: Come in, you got to learn anything from scratch now

34
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: you're probably just doing more fine tuning.

35
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I mean you don't want to skip any

36
00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 3: steps kind of in the learning process. So I think

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,920
Speaker 3: we were, you know, still detailed and and uh step

38
00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 3: by step installing what we uh what we're running and

39
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 3: installing our offense, making sure the new guys picked it

40
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 3: up and they did a really good job learning all

41
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 3: that stuff. But yeah, I think that was the biggest thing,

42
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 3: just making sure we were still as meticulous and detailed

43
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: in our approach and in our in our learning and

44
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 3: our studying as we had been a year before. But yeah,

45
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,280
Speaker 3: I mean i'd be lying to say it wasn't a

46
00:01:55,320 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 3: little bit a little bit easier, Uh, learning it the

47
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 3: second time.

48
00:01:58,240 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 2: You have to bring along some new receivers though, right,

49
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
Speaker 2: and kind of teach them what you guys learned last

50
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: year and catch them up. You did your throwing session

51
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 2: with them away from the facility, then you had them here.

52
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,079
Speaker 2: What kind of progress did you make with with Darren

53
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 2: Paris and a lot of those new targets you have

54
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 2: in the passing game.

55
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, we made a lot of progress. I feel like,

56
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 3: you know, all the guys we've brought in are real,

57
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 3: you know, real pros from the sense of how they

58
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: go about to work, how they study, how they work

59
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 3: on the field. You know, their attention to detail. You know,

60
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,560
Speaker 3: you can tell watching film and just you know how

61
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:33,120
Speaker 3: important the smaller aspects of route running, of the of

62
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,639
Speaker 3: the past concepts, you know all that how you know,

63
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 3: uh and tune they are with all that stuff. So

64
00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:41,560
Speaker 3: it's been fun working with them and they're really good players.

65
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: I'm excited to continue working with them this summer and

66
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 3: then into training camp.

67
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 2: You know, it's easy to say, oh, second, you in

68
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 2: your offense, everything is better, but for a quarterback, how

69
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Speaker 2: does that actually manifest itself? On the field. For you

70
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 2: being in an offense for a second year, maybe being

71
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 2: a little bit more comfortable, like what are we going

72
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 2: to see watching you play? Where? All right, this is

73
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 2: the impact of being in an offense for a second year.

74
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: I mean, I think a big piece of it is

75
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:10,359
Speaker 3: just seeing certain concepts multiple times against more looks and

76
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: and you know, you're maybe qu a little quicker to

77
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: recognize things in certain situations. I think you have a

78
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: better understanding of what what you like and what you

79
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,280
Speaker 3: don't like within the system. And uh, you know, certain

80
00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:24,920
Speaker 3: plays and certain ideas, certain concepts that uh you know

81
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 3: may may you know you may like more than your

82
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 3: thought or or you don't like as much as you

83
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: thought you did. So I think all that kind of

84
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 3: stuff and just just the more reps the better.

85
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: So that's the biggest thing for you personally now knowing

86
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: what this offense asks of you and what you need

87
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: to do to succeed in this offense. What were the

88
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: some of the things personally you were trying to work

89
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 2: on to get better at so you would have more

90
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 2: success on the field this year?

91
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 3: Uh well, I mean I think I'm working on on everything,

92
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 3: continuing to try to get the ball out of my

93
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: hands as quickly as possible, you know, making good decisions

94
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 3: taking care of the ball. I think, you know, as

95
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: an offense, we can do a better job, uh, creating

96
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: some explosive plays and pushing the ball down the field.

97
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:06,040
Speaker 3: So we're certainly looking at chances to do that and

98
00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: where we can be more effective with some of those opportunities.

99
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 2: You talk about creating explosive plays, I guess easier said

100
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: than done would be one way to say it. Right,

101
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 2: you have some more speed wide receiver that'll help. Is

102
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: that just a matter of you mentally committing to trying

103
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 2: to get the ball down the field more? What are

104
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: some of the things you guys can do as a

105
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,440
Speaker 2: group and not just you to try to create more

106
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 2: of those explosive downfield plays.

107
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 3: Uh, well, I mean I think, you know, I think

108
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 3: a lot of it goes a lot of a lot

109
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: of things go into too creating those plays. I think,

110
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,840
Speaker 3: you know, you get into trouble when you're you're forcing

111
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 3: them and trying to look for them when they're not there. So,

112
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 3: you know, I think more often than not, the way

113
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 3: you create explosive plays, it's just just executing, you know,

114
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 3: every play exactly how it's supposed to be done. And

115
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 3: and you know, you love the the uh deep you know,

116
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 3: the bombs over the defensive head, but it's also the

117
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 3: the catch and runs where we uh you know, set

118
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: up a block or we or we uh you know,

119
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 3: throw an accurate ball. Let's say, guy you know, continue

120
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 3: to keep a speed, make a guy miss, and then

121
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 3: there's an explosive play there. So I think, you know,

122
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:08,600
Speaker 3: there's so many things that can factor into that, and

123
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 3: we've got to make sure we're executing as precisely as

124
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 3: well as we can, as consistently as possible to give

125
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 3: us a chance to make those plays.

126
00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: How do you balance the maybe trying to get the

127
00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 2: ball into a small space and limiting turnovers because last

128
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,520
Speaker 2: year you had the lowest interception right in the league

129
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 2: in terms of interceptions per pass. But do you get

130
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,919
Speaker 2: to a point where you're almost willing to risk is

131
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: maybe the wrong way to put it, but willing to

132
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,160
Speaker 2: take some more chances to to create some more of

133
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,120
Speaker 2: those big plays and just even you know, get the

134
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 2: ball into smaller places down the field. How do you

135
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: strike that bounce with the protecting the football but then

136
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:44,040
Speaker 2: trying to make those plays that really lead to wins

137
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 2: and more points. Uh.

138
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think, uh, you want to you know,

139
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: certain points in the game and certain situations call for

140
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: a little bit more aggressive decision making and certain situations don't.

141
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 3: So continuing to study that and seeing how how much

142
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 3: better I can.

143
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,400
Speaker 2: Be and then I guess just you know, taking advantage

144
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 2: of the running situation. This is the final question, Daniel,

145
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 2: was that the last year, you know, you picked your

146
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,279
Speaker 2: spots so wonderfully running the ball, especially you know on

147
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: the non design on dropbacks, like you just kind of

148
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: knew how many yards he had to get and you

149
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: would get him. Is that something that you kind of

150
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 2: just developed a mentality for, in a feel for in

151
00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 2: terms of when there was room to kind of you know,

152
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,039
Speaker 2: tuck that ball and run it and maybe there wasn't

153
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: anything there down the field.

154
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think, yeah, I think certain games

155
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: play out certain ways and you get a feel for

156
00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 3: how it's going and how the defense is is. Uh,

157
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 3: you know, what their plan is to stop stop our

158
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 3: offense and where some opportunities may arise. So you know,

159
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: I'll certainly continue to do that and where I can

160
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 3: be effective with my legs I'll try to do that.

161
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 2: Oh finally, I should ask you about Darren Waller very quickly.

162
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 2: You know, huge and the way he moves. Just watching him,

163
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: it's like I know one there. People can't cover him

164
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 2: on film right, just he's just a freak of an athlete.

165

182
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 1: challenging each other to each and every day on the field.

183
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Off the field, it's been good for.

184
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 2: You personally and then as a group with the pass

185
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 2: catchers would have been your goals for your stuff that

186
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: you were doing outside the facility, and now that you

187
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: were here for o ts and media.

188
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: Trying to get on the same page as much as possible.

189
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I swhere I think you you really start to build chemistry,

190
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: obviously is in the off season and letting area into

191
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:04,160
Speaker 1: training camp and in season. Got a lot of great

192
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: guys talent wise and just personality wise that are going

193
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 1: to be catching the ball for us and just making

194
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: plays for us, and just trying to get on the

195
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: same page. A couple of new face, it's a couple

196
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: familiar faces from last year, but just trying to get

197
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: on the same page and as much chemistry with each guy.

198
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,160
Speaker 2: How has it been like trying to catch those guys

199
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 2: up and get them to where the group is that

200
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 2: was already in this offense for a second year.

201
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: I will say everyone that we've added has done a

202
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: great job of picking up our terminology, just the team

203
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 1: chemistry as a whole. Guys that came in and competed

204
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,760
Speaker 1: at a high level. They've done a good job. Each

205
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 1: and every day of challenging themselves but also challenging the

206
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: room to be better and one thing to coach Dave's

207
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: actually each managed just to compete, be a high level

208
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:54,760
Speaker 1: competitor each and every day that you step in into

209
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 1: the facility, whether it's lifting weights, whether it's in meetings,

210
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,080
Speaker 1: whether it's on the field, And I think each each

211
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 1: person is as uh, it's took that to heart and

212
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: they've challenged himself each and every day.

213
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 2: I want to ask you about the quarterback room. How

214
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 2: do you and Daniel work together during the season when

215
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: you're prepping for opponents. What's your process like in terms

216
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 2: of you know, him learning from you, you learning from him,

217
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 2: and you know, maybe you can look at things a

218
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 2: little bit different and kind of put your minds together

219
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: to come up with what's gonna work in it for

220
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: any given game.

221
00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, obviously it starts for breaking down film. Both of

222
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: us have our own way that we do that. But

223
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: once we get to a point that we've watched enough

224
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: him and feel comfortable with with our opponent outside of

225
00:09:32,720 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: what Shay has showed us, then then it's time for

226
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 1: a conversation and just things that we like, things that

227
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: we don't like. Things that we think they could be

228
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: good concepts versus a certain team or a specific defense.

229
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,439
Speaker 1: Our communications from day one, it's been it's been open,

230
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,520
Speaker 1: and it's been a good one. I have nothing but

231
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:57,480
Speaker 1: respect for for Daniel, the way he goes about his work,

232
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: how he has himself in the building, on the field,

233
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: off the field. Just tremendous young man and happy to

234
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:08,320
Speaker 1: be able to help him in this process. Been at

235
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,839
Speaker 1: the same time stay ready on myself as well too.

236
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,120
Speaker 2: How much you mentioned Daniel, how much progress have you

237
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 2: seen him make from your one of this offense a

238
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:16,880
Speaker 2: year or two to kind of how he's now operating

239
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: in the spring and summer this year as opposed to last.

240
00:10:19,360 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: I just obviously more confident, not that he lacked confidence

241
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: at all, And I would just say whenever you're in

242
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:31,040
Speaker 1: a system for the returning year, obviously you're comfortable with

243
00:10:31,040 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: within what you have to do. Obviously there's there's always

244
00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: ways to be better and things to get better at,

245
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,080
Speaker 1: and I think he's attacked each and every one of

246
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:46,240
Speaker 1: those areas of his game full steam ahead this off

247
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,480
Speaker 1: season and just try to be better at every aspect

248
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: you mentioned.

249
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: Shakier into your quarterbacks coach he got some interests potential

250
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator candidate this offseason. What is about him that

251
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:57,960
Speaker 2: and you've been around a lot of coordinators that makes

252
00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 2: him kind of a starm to making here in this

253
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 2: business where he maybe could run an offense one day,

254
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: be a head coach one day, something like that.

255
00:11:03,440 --> 00:11:07,120
Speaker 1: Very smart, very smart, has a feel for the game,

256
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: has a feel for the players, has respect from the players.

257
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: He does a great job of getting the best out

258
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: of us each and every day, whether it be competition

259
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: and the position drills or keeping the meeting rooms fun.

260
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: But at the same time, excuse me, at the same

261
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:31,560
Speaker 1: time at a competitive state, still educating us and teaching

262
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 1: us how to be the best we could be on

263
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:36,839
Speaker 1: the field within this offense. Obviously, he's been with Dave

264
00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: for a number of years and has coached in this system.

265
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: He knows what it looks like, what it's supposed to

266
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: look like. And obviously, at the end of the day,

267
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: we're a reflection of him. Obviously we have our own personalities,

268
00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: but we have to be an extension of him as

269
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 1: well as coach Dave's on the field, and I think

270
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,640
Speaker 1: he does the right He takes the right steps of

271
00:11:56,679 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 1: getting us to that point.

272
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 2: You talk about getting ready yourself during spring practices OTAs

273
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 2: midie camp. Seem like you built a really nice chemistry

274
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: with Colin Johnson is coming back from an achilles. He

275
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:07,679
Speaker 2: seems like he's your go to guy a lot of

276
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,560
Speaker 2: short intermediate stuff. When you need something, you go to

277
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,800
Speaker 2: him on those third downs. How have you built the

278
00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 2: chemistry with him and how have you seen him come

279
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:15,520
Speaker 2: back from that achilles? He was having such a good

280
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:17,800
Speaker 2: summer last year. It looks like he's really picked up

281
00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:18,520
Speaker 2: where he left off.

282
00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say he's definitely picked up where he

283
00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 1: left off. Colin is a is a is a competitor.

284
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: He believes himself. Obviously, with him being one of the tallest,

285
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,760
Speaker 1: if not the tallest season in NFL, he's a big target,

286
00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: but he moves well. Obviously, is comfort in being able

287
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: to go to him. He has Bible hands, He's always

288
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:40,680
Speaker 1: doing the right things. Very smart football player and that's

289
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: what coach uh That's what coach preaches to is he

290
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,920
Speaker 1: wants smart football players on the field, and Colin has

291
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:51,040
Speaker 1: done a good job of raising his level of play

292
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,640
Speaker 1: each and every day he steps out there on the

293
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,640
Speaker 1: field and just I'm glad for him obviously to see

294
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: the achilles injury happened last year after having such a

295
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: strong spring and training camera, it was definitely tough to see.

296
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 1: But he hasn't held his head down at one point.

297
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,679
Speaker 1: He's from from that day to now, he's walked around

298
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 1: with confidence knowing that he can be a guy when

299
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: when depending on.

300
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: You've been you've been this leege long time to our

301
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 2: final question, You've run really good offenses. You've seen elite offenses,

302
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: knowing what the scheme is with you and Daniel can do,

303
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 2: and then the additions and wide receiver with Darren Waller,

304
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,120
Speaker 2: and then all the speed. I mean you have like

305
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: three four three guys this offseason, right, what are the

306
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 2: heights this offense can reach? If you guys can kind

307
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,120
Speaker 2: of put everything together, what can this look like and

308
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:39,199
Speaker 2: every everything clicks?

309
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he can look very very good. I

310
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: don't think it's a ceiling when we're when we're clicking.

311
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 1: We have talent at every uh at every scale position,

312
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: a tremendous talent at every every scale position. And obviously

313
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: we have to stay healthy and we have to go

314
00:13:57,760 --> 00:13:59,800
Speaker 1: out there and execute it at the way or at

315
00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:01,960
Speaker 1: a of it that we know are capable of doing,

316
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:04,120
Speaker 1: but just taking it one day at a time, striving

317
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: to get better. Obviously the end goal for everyone in

318
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,240
Speaker 1: this league right now this season into super Bowl, but

319
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,240
Speaker 1: it's steps to get there, and UH with the strong

320
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: offseason program, gounna need guys to stay healthy in the

321
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,160
Speaker 1: six weeks they were off and obviously get back to

322
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: training camp and continue to keep progressing and just taking

323
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: it one day at a time, coming out and expecting

324
00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: our best out of ourselves and actually doing that as

325
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 1: well too to get to where we need to be.

326
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: Lem Me just doing quick follow up. What is it

327
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: about this scheme that makes it special that allows you

328
00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,320
Speaker 2: to play as well as the type of things you

329
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 2: were talking about in that last Yeah, you've been a

330
00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 2: lot of schemes. Yeah, what kind of systems one apart.

331
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:48,680
Speaker 1: I would say it's very player friendly. The coaches do

332
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:53,920
Speaker 1: a great job of leaning on what each player does best,

333
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: whether that's Waller, whether that's Paris, whether that's Slayton, whether

334
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: that's Isaiah, whether it's DJ myself. I mean, the coach

335
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: does a great job of putting the players in the

336
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: best position to go out and and make plays and

337
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 1: be comfortable within themselves, obviously within the scheme, but playing

338
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: at a high level within themselves. And I think that's

339
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: that speaks volume to the coaches, but it also speaks

340
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 1: volume to just the respect level throughout the locker room

341
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: that the guys have for one another, that when your

342
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 1: number is called on, we expect, we expect guys to

343
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: go out there and perform at a high level.

344
00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:30,200
