You know, you don't you don't 6 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,160 Speaker 3: ever want to see any of your teammates go down. 7 00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 3: But for me personally, you know, being here, my whole 8 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 3: career with DJ and uh kind of just a natural 9 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: connection and receiver and quarterback as you know, obviously, I 10 00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:35,600 Speaker 3: think for me it's a. 11 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: Bit personal. 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:53,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, thank you Brian some lady, Darius appreciate you 13 00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:53,440 Speaker 4: doing this. 14 00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 5: Obviously, it's always a little bit hard for us to 15 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 5: read Daniel's emotions. Uh, you can do it much better. 16 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 5: How would you describe him in the last twelve hours 17 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,240 Speaker 5: or so. 18 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: He's a competitor, you know, and. 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,080 Speaker 3: Even though this morning, you know, we didn't know until 20 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 3: this morning it was officially towards Aco, but you know, 21 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,560 Speaker 3: in those moments as a player, obviously the thought goes 22 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: to your head and the first emotion is his devastation. 23 00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:24,919 Speaker 1: You know, we all work extremely. 24 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 3: Hard to make the best at of seventeen opportunities we 25 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,920 Speaker 3: get every year to play the game we love, and 26 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,480 Speaker 3: having that slip away is not easy for any of 27 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 3: us to deal with. So you know, he's a very 28 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:44,280 Speaker 3: resilient person, a very strong individual. But he's also not 29 00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: alone in this, you know, and we'll have his back 30 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 3: and we'll support him and be with him through this process. 31 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 5: Thanks, Darius. One more here. You were here in twenty 32 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 5: twenty one when he had this six game neck injury 33 00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 5: and the offense really struggled to move the ball with 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,000 Speaker 5: the bet two backup quarterbacks. Is that a concern that 35 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 5: that could happen again? And how do you guys go 36 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,640 Speaker 5: about preventing something similar to what happened. 37 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:15,760 Speaker 1: At the end of that season. I mean, I think 38 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: we we have capable guys. You know. 39 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 3: I feel like Devitodvido did a good job coming in 40 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:25,560 Speaker 3: and played the best visibility. Obviously, you know, we already 41 00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,280 Speaker 3: have Matt Barkley as a veteran quarterback on on the 42 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,520 Speaker 3: roster and as been in Buffalo's he's very familiar with 43 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 3: the system. And you know, I'm sure whoever it is 44 00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 3: they put out there, we'll go out there and do 45 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:41,600 Speaker 3: a good job. Dan talk in. 46 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 6: Hey, Darius, obviously you hope this doesn't turn into that 47 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,560 Speaker 6: type of season, But like, take us back to me, Ton, 48 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 6: how hopeless was it when you guys are playing on 49 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,239 Speaker 6: the string there? Obviously, you know, the quarterback play, the 50 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 6: offense play was you know, just not very not very 51 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,639 Speaker 6: good to be to be. 52 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:59,240 Speaker 3: Blue, Yeah, I mean it was a bit of a 53 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 3: different predictment then because there was a lot of other 54 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,360 Speaker 3: things outside of that, you know, uh uh. You know, 55 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 3: our staff was at risk that season, you know, obviously 56 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,720 Speaker 3: both our DJ and then Mike Glennon was our backup 57 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 3: then ended up going down and and we brought Jake 58 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 3: from you know, from wherever wherever he brought him at 59 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 3: the time, you know, basically off the couch. And you know, 60 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,920 Speaker 3: we're in a bit of a different predicament then, in 61 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 3: a different space then than we were now as a team. 62 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: And you know, like I said, I think I think 63 00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: de Vito played played pretty well, you know, yesterday with 64 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,320 Speaker 3: what time he had, and I believe he'll continue to 65 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: build and get better. And and Matt Barkley has been 66 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 3: the system for a long time, so he's in a 67 00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 3: bit different predicament than even the quarterbacks we had back then, 68 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:50,920 Speaker 3: where we're trying to learn something whereas he already knows. 69 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 3: So I think the guys that we have will be 70 00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:55,240 Speaker 3: able to do a good job for us going forward. 71 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 6: And then just sort of bigger picture you guys two 72 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 6: and seven, you have that this devastating intro you said, 73 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,520 Speaker 6: how do you keep things in the locker room from 74 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 6: from going off the rails? Like I'm sure you've seen 75 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:07,880 Speaker 6: that in some of your seasons here where things have 76 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:08,640 Speaker 6: gone in that direction. 77 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, stay together. 78 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, it's it's a team, 79 00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 3: and nobody is is going out here and and fighting 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,800 Speaker 3: these games by themselves, and we have to stay together 81 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,120 Speaker 3: as a as a unit and continue to fight, you know, 82 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 3: even even if the odds may not be in our 83 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 3: favor or whatever. But at the end of the day, 84 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 3: our job is go out there and played the best 85 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 3: of our ability, and that's what we have to do. 86 00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 1: Thanks throwing on. 87 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: Hey Darius, what You've been one of Daniel's biggest supporters, 88 00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 2: and you know, you see all the stuff and you've 89 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 2: responded to it a lot in the past about what's 90 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: out there about him. The natural thing now and you 91 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,000 Speaker 2: already see it is you know people are going to 92 00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 2: basically replace him, right.
