1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: What did you see from Daniel Jones on a play

2
00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:07,200
Speaker 1: drive that maybe he's done differently here and touch you know,

3
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 1: did a nice job on that drive. There's some really

4
00:00:09,240 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: big conversions, but I think overall the offense is executed

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: really well. I mean, we had to overcome a couple

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: second long as a couple of thirtdin longs um, and

7
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 1: those guys just hung in there and and executed when

8
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: we need them to do something. Davids said a lot

9
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,960
Speaker 1: with him, you probably as well as he's doing what

10
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: we asked him to do. What does that mean? What

11
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: are you asking him to do? Um? Execute the excuse

12
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: his job to the best of visibility, you know, execute

13
00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,560
Speaker 1: the offense, manage you know what we asked him to

14
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: do in the run game, the pass game, protections, um,

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 1: you know all the things cerebulu that we asked him

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,840
Speaker 1: to do. And and then you know, go and be himself.

17
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 1: You're not asking him to throw for water yards. I

18
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:46,479
Speaker 1: feel like you're asking him not to turn the ball over.

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: Is that is that challenging? Is a quarterback could play

20
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: on that line where it seems like any mistake and

21
00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: really derail you guys. Every game is different, you know,

22
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: every every game is different. You know, some some games

23
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:57,800
Speaker 1: you we may ask him to do that, some games

24
00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: you might not at all. It's just, you know, how

25
00:00:59,920 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 1: the nature of the game goes, and when we're at

26
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: in the game, and you know, I've been around teams

27
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: that have done that, have to do that. But Danniel's

28
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:10,760
Speaker 1: doing a great job of managing, managing the offense, executing

29
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: and then you know, leading our guys down to your

30
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: score you obviously have you obviously have a lot of

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: plays to choose from. Imagine the list gets a little

32
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 1: narrow when it's fourth and nine, right, and a lot

33
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,480
Speaker 1: of places. I mean, how do you your next situation

34
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: you don't want to be in? Right? How did you

35
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,680
Speaker 1: kind of come up with that? And you know what,

36
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 1: what where was that on your list? Yeah? So we

37
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: we we watched it as a staff together, um, and

38
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: go through those plays, go through the thoughts on how

39
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: we want to attack them. I'm really all those four downs,

40
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: gotta have a critical, gotta have it plays. And so

41
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: we have our thoughts, we have our list, you know,

42
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: earlier in the week, and then as we get closer

43
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: to the game, obviously we're talking with the quarterbacks and

44
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: about what they like in those situations as well. So

45
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: it's a collaborative effort and talk about when we get

46
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: to those situations, you know, what's our what's our go to.

47
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 1: So that's that's what we did. So that that was

48
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: number one on the list, that's right, And that was

49
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: the first, that was his first, that was the first

50
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: opportunit you to call it there? Yeah, absolutely, go back

51
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: to Daniel for one second. Would you say, you're you know,

52
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: you're he's doing what you're asking to you. The fewest

53
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,840
Speaker 1: twenty plus shirt passing plays in the league is that

54
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 1: because in your mind you're not really asking them to

55
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: do that, like based on the situation, personnel and etcetera.

56
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 1: I'd say just every every game is just different as

57
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: far as like how you want to tack a defense. Um,

58
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: you know, some some games you want to do that,

59
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 1: some games you want to do something else. So I

60
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: think when when you're when you're when you're evaluating the

61
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: defensive structure and how they do things, you gotta ask yourself, all, right,

62
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: where are shots at where our players that we can

63
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: get chunks completion plays? Where the kind of runs we like?

64
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: So all of those things we talked about and evaluating

65
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,840
Speaker 1: based on how the game goes. That's you know, that's

66
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 1: what we choose to call. Might they're into your defensive

67
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,679
Speaker 1: line right the first game for a lot of the games.

68
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: Did playing them that game help you guys in this

69
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: game just to know what you could do when you

70
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: couldn't do against them? And was that kind of what

71
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: we saw on the second half where your guys up

72
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: front really rarely prevented them from doing it. Yeah, our

73
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,359
Speaker 1: guys in front, we did a really nice job all game. Um,

74
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, I think they played within themselves. They execute

75
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: their fundamentally sound for the most part, I felt really

76
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: good about how they just attacked that we could practice

77
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: and we we could prep as far as um, those

78
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,640
Speaker 1: guys are watching, they're they're really talented front and we

79
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: see talented fronts every week now. So it's it's one

80
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: of those things where even this week's no difference, a

81
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: great challenge and so we gotta, you know, continue to

82
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 1: have a good week work when you put something into

83
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: a game plan that you know is going to work,

84
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: Like for example, late in the game against Washington, you

85
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: have those duo blocking schemes on that drive where s

86
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: quons running up the middle. Is it tempting as a

87
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: play caller not to use it early? Like it seems

88
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: like you guys save those plays sometimes for key moments. Yeah,

89
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 1: I think, Um, I don't know if I would say

90
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: we saved them for those moments because those are clicks

91
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: that we like throughout the game. Maybe we get to

92
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,240
Speaker 1: them earlier. Um. I think sometimes you just you find

93
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,680
Speaker 1: a groove as an offense and you know, you get

94
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: to play that. Guys are just feeling it at that

95
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: At that point, it was it was players running it.

96
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: We you know, we get the corrections. Maybe they had

97
00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: an adjustment in game early on that we made an

98
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: adjustment on on the sideline, and so now we want

99
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: to go back to something what it could be any

100
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: scheme really, you know. So I think our guys have

101
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 1: done a great job of adjusting. He did a great

102
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: job of going on there and then executing it when

103
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: we needed to and those are those are big plays

104
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: for us. Mike, is you potentially have time with Daniel

105
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 1: down the road, do you think they're there are steps

106
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: he can take to become you know, even better or

107
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: or however you would phrase that better or even better

108
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: the best whatever that like in a second year, hypothetically

109
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: you can explore more than maybe you are this year. Yeah,

110
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:44,960
Speaker 1: Daniel doesn't great. I mean every day Daniel he comes

111
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: to work, I mean whether it's in the in the classroom,

112
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 1: just sating there with the install asking questions, um. And

113
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: then you know, on the field he's working is brought

114
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: off too, So it's a it's great for him. Like

115
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: he's always looking for ways to improve, no matter what

116
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 1: day it is, whether it's um, you know, future, past, whatever,

117
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: but he's always looking for ways to improve his game,

118
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: and you know, asking on how certain people did it

119
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: certain ways, and you know, ponds and ideas off of

120
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: Daves and Shay and myself and the other quarterbacks. So

121
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: he's always looking for what he's to learn and grow.

122
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: That's one of the one things on the bottom. How

123
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 1: much did you see Sake want to sort of have

124
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 1: a little extra juice in that game? It seems like

125
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: he significantly different runner than he did certainly the week before. Yeah,

126
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 1: Sake one, he played, he played hard. You did a

127
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: nice job, and you know, I think those are all

128
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: things we can learn from and grow from. You know,

129
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: I hate living in the past of that type of stuff.

130
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 1: We did a really nice job and gave us an

131
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to win the game. So you know, we've got

132
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 1: to find a way to get back to that again

133
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: this week and have another good week of practice. They're

134
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: too simple to trace, like President coming back in the

135
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: lap and the run game kind of getting back on track. Yeah,

136
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: I thought I've said this numerous time. I think the

137
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 1: whole line they've won a great job was just the

138
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: next mante up, whether it's Um present getting back in

139
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: and playing playing the well. I mean, Nick's case has

140
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: done a nice job. You know, all those guys have

141
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:04,840
Speaker 1: done a great job their battle. And that's what I

142
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:08,440
Speaker 1: love about that group. They stick together, they communicate and

143
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,640
Speaker 1: they battle and you know, no matter if it's good

144
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 1: or bad, they're kind of the same. So that's when

145
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: you look when you look at it, Um, that's one

146
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: thing if you can rely on you can lean on

147
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,839
Speaker 1: those guys a little bit from the front. Mike your

148
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,080
Speaker 1: form of your answer, a couple of answers, and go

149
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:27,559
Speaker 1: in tragued me. So just Daniel ever ask like about

150
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Alan given obvious ties here now, I mean

151
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be I'm not suggesting that would be a

152
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,560
Speaker 1: bad thing if he did, because it's curiosity. Absolutely, the

153
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: same thing with Daye. We we we talked about offenses

154
00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: and you know how you may have run in and

155
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,400
Speaker 1: I talked about the same thing with our staff whether

156
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: you've been in Baltimore, Houston, and yeah, like all those

157
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 1: teams have something they can bring, and so I'm always

158
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 1: looking to learn and grow. And Daniel is the same way.

159
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: He's you know, he's asking questions about how we did

160
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: things in other places I've been and how Daves has

161
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: don't play things another way. So I think that's good.

162
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: That's the cool part about you know, this profession. As

163
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: you get a lot of guys who are from a

164
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: different bunch of different spots, you bring them together, you

165
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: get the ideas down and you know you can grow.

166
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: You know, you can grow an offense and kind of

167
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,040
Speaker 1: develop it. Daniel seems to have like a natural humility

168
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 1: about him. Absolutely absolutely. When you play call on sans

169
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: touchdown run, how how often did you guys practice that

170
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: and what was the genesis of that play call? Like

171
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 1: where did you get it from or creator from? We've

172
00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: had it up for several weeks and several different situations,

173
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: and you know that was just there was a opportunity

174
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 1: right there. To call it the give an opportunity on

175
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: the perimeter. But yeah, we practice it every week. When

176
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 1: you look at an imposing defense, what's the first thing

177
00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: you look at? Is it they have forty sex, they're

178
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: gonna bring pressure or how do you when you go

179
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: into a game plan? Sure, yeah, just like anything, I

180
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: think it starts up front. You evaluate their front. You know,

181
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,480
Speaker 1: that's you know, typically tells a story of the defense.

182
00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 1: In Minnesota's a really talented front, and you look at

183
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 1: the can level, look at the third level, so you

184
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 1: kind of you start at the front, then you work

185
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: your way back and then you know, kind of figure

186
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: out what kind of defensive structure they're gonna be, kind

187
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: of front structure they want to be, and how those

188
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: things tie together and so yeah, those are that that's

189
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 1: really kind of my step. My process started the front,

190
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: second level, you know, feeling with the pressures and how

191
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 1: they cover there, and then third level, what kind of

192
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: coverages they show, kind of structures the show and if

193
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: there's any indicators that we can build off that. You guys,

194
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: coaches have been everywhere, so you all have fumer places,

195
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 1: but you take any time to pick Contred Patterson's brain

196
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 1: about what you may see in Minnesota this weekend. Yeah,

197
00:08:37,240 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: I mean any any opportunity like there's we've had some

198
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000

199
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:46,559

200
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,600
Speaker 1: we can. And we've we've picked the brains of all

201
00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: our coaches, like real quick, um, the potential of playing
