1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,880 Speaker 1: There's been a lot of talk about, you know, Daniel 2 00:00:01,880 --> 00:00:04,400 Speaker 1: getting comfortable in this offense and how that's a process. 3 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:06,320 Speaker 1: Can you can you just get like an example of 4 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,360 Speaker 1: something for you know, quarterback in your system that's challenging, 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: Like you know what is something that is is you know, 6 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: takes time and he has to get comfortable with. Oh, 7 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: I think as much as anything else, Uh, you know, 8 00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to make it a quarterback friendly system. I 9 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:23,400 Speaker 1: think everybody's trying to do that. And uh, like quarterbacks, 10 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,640 Speaker 1: like all the players, are just a matter of repetition 11 00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, being in different situations, uh, running 12 00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,680 Speaker 1: plays against different looks and uh, you know, it just 13 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: takes time to do that, takes some experience to do that. 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,920 Speaker 1: I think there's been a lot of positive things over 15 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: the course of the first five games for Daniel and 16 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: for our offense. And obviously there's plenty of areas that 17 00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: we need to improve upon, and hopefully over time there'll 18 00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: be more positives and fewer negatives. And uh, I think 19 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 1: we have improved. I think we have made strides. I 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: think everybody is getting more comfortable. I think we played 21 00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,840 Speaker 1: against good, good defenses and and I think we'll learn 22 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,480 Speaker 1: and be better for those experiences across our offensive line 23 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360 Speaker 1: with our tight ends or receivers or quarterbacks and our backs, 24 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully we're growing week by week. Thanks ellivi Yeh Jason. 25 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 1: Between the end around to Evan for a touchdown, the 26 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: two point conversion to Andrew Thomas, we saw a lot 27 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: of what you what outside people would call creative play calling. 28 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,040 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that is Dallas specific last week based 29 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,000 Speaker 1: on matchups you saw, or was that stuff that was 30 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: in there the first four weeks that you just didn't 31 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: have a chance to use or to just take a 32 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,959 Speaker 1: while to get to it because of the you know, 33 00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,840 Speaker 1: limited offseason, you just couldn't get to that next level stuff. 34 00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: Why breaking all that out last week? Oh? I think 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: you're always trying to find ways to make plays, and 36 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, plays like that are typically in game plans 37 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: week after week, and you're looking for the right opportunity 38 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: to call those kinds of things. Some weeks, Uh, you 39 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: might be more apt to Callum bay St upon where 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 1: you are or what the defense is doing. In other 41 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: weeks you might have him in, but maybe a little 42 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 1: bit less likely to call him. You know, sometimes just 43 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,800 Speaker 1: situations in the game dictate those kinds of things. So, uh, 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 1: you always want to attack the defense different ways. It 45 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: starts with running pass using tempo formations, movements, and then 46 00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: you know what you try to do to compliment uh 47 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: your base stuff and uh and hopefully in those situations 48 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: you call him and he can execute him at Leonard, Hey, Jason, 49 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: you've called Evan Ingram your guys most explosive offensive player. 50 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,799 Speaker 1: Why do you think though it hasn't worked out into 51 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: you know, depassing usage and just overall like significant frequent 52 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: touches for him or thin. Gevin has done a really 53 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: nice job, you know, for us. There's been some really 54 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: positive plays that he's made over the course of the 55 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,080 Speaker 1: first five games. Certainly areas where he can get better 56 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: and we can better. Uh. You know, offensive football is 57 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 1: a collaborative thing. It's everybody and uh, you know, the 58 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 1: success you have run of the ball, blocking them up front, 59 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: protecting you know, with your offensive line will impact all 60 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,839 Speaker 1: your skill players at the time. They've done a really 61 00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,519 Speaker 1: good job in our run game, protecting in our run game, 62 00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: and in protected in our protections. Uh, and again that 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: will impact how we can get the skill guys involved. 64 00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,640 Speaker 1: I think Evan has done a good job taking advantage 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 1: of opportunities we've given him and and certainly we're trying 66 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 1: to create more and more for him and for really 67 00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: all our guys. And if I could have just one 68 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: follow up, you know, what was your Dallas returned like 69 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: for you emotionally and you know, just um, I'm sure 70 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: you've communicated with Doc obviously a player that means a 71 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 1: lot to you. You know, what was that like seeing 72 00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:48,920 Speaker 1: that and just kind of being there for that. Yeah, 73 00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, I thought it was important going in the 74 00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 1: game to to to be focused on what we needed 75 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: to do to player best football and uh, you know, 76 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 1: that's what we tried to do last week leading up 77 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: to the game. It certainly was one being back there 78 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,280 Speaker 1: seeing a lot of people that I have been around. 79 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: I think the games for all of us are a 80 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,160 Speaker 1: little bit odd and different, you know, not having the 81 00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: normal game day atmosphere that you would have, you know, 82 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 1: with fans and everybody around. But I did get a 83 00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:17,680 Speaker 1: chance to visit with some of the players, some of 84 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: the coaches and other people in the organization, and uh, 85 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: and I had great visits with those guys. So that 86 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: was a fun experience for me in regards to Dak 87 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: obviously very sad that you know he had the injury. 88 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: But you know, there's one thing I know about him 89 00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:34,960 Speaker 1: is he's as tough as they come, and he's mentally tough, 90 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: he's physically tough. And uh, surgery seemed to have gone well, 91 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,800 Speaker 1: and our communication over the last few days has been positive. 92 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,599 Speaker 1: He seems like he's in good spirit, so wish him 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:51,240 Speaker 1: nothing but the best. He's really a special guy. Umbaro, Hey, Jason, 94 00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: how's it going good? How you doing good? Good? Um? 95 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: I want to ask you about Darius Slayton, your thoughts 96 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: on him through the first five weeks and how you 97 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: see his role kind of evolving down the stretch. Daris 98 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 1: has done an excellent job for us, you know, talking 99 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 1: about a guy who's take advantage of opportunities. You know, 100 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: it seems like anytime we go his direction, you know, 101 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 1: he's able to make plays for us, whether little players 102 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,520 Speaker 1: are big plays. And you know he's continued to do 103 00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 1: that week after week and had a big game the 104 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 1: other day in the ball game against Dallas, and he 105 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: continues to grow as a player as a young player 106 00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:27,799 Speaker 1: has not played that much football at this level. But 107 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: but really doing some positive things. His approach is outstanding 108 00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: as a professional, he really wants to know all the details. 109 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,840 Speaker 1: He works very hard in practice. He's been able to 110 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: carry that to the game. So certainly off to a 111 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:45,400 Speaker 1: very good start for us. Last question here Jordan's, Hey, Jason, 112 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: how big a challenge is uh Andrew Thomas faced when 113 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: he when he's up against Chase Young and and how 114 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: do you make sure that his confidence remains high? You know, 115 00:05:56,440 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: Andrew has faced really the elite rushers of the NFL, 116 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: UH in his first five games. If you think about 117 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,080 Speaker 1: the guys in Pittsburgh, then you go see Mac and 118 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: Quinn in Chicago. You know the guys in San Francisco, 119 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 1: they're a little banged up, but still pretty stout. You know, 120 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: up front, um, the Rams obviously the best defensive lineman 121 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,839 Speaker 1: and football. They got really good, uh defensive ends that 122 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: he had to block in that game. And then you 123 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,520 Speaker 1: know you go to Dallas and and you're and you're 124 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: going against you know, uh, you know, to really really 125 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,160 Speaker 1: elite defensive lineman, you know, playing and play out in 126 00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: DeMarcus Lawrence and Alton Smith. So he's he's certainly gotten 127 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 1: his indoctrination the National Football League by playing against really 128 00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,720 Speaker 1: really good players, and that's really the nature of his position. 129 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,560 Speaker 1: And you know, the biggest challenge that he'll have, and 130 00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,320 Speaker 1: then all offensive tackles of the league have, is you're 131 00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:47,720 Speaker 1: not always gonna win. You know, the other guys are 132 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: good too, They're gonna have success pushing the pocket, getting 133 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: around the quarterback, and you just gotta keep coming back 134 00:06:53,680 --> 00:06:56,520 Speaker 1: and learn from the experiences. And you know, I think 135 00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: about a guy like Tyrn Smith we had in Dallas, 136 00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: and we first got him there. You know, he was 137 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,359 Speaker 1: going against DeMarcus where practice every day, and to be 138 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:07,960 Speaker 1: honest with you, right at the start, he didn't do 139 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,120 Speaker 1: very well. Uh DeMarcus where it really got after him. 140 00:07:11,160 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: But you know, as it went along in training camp, 141 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,880 Speaker 1: and as it went along when they competed against each other, 142 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: you know, Tyrant started to win something. Then he started 143 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: to win some more of them, and then they'll be 144 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: back and forth and it was fifty fifty. Then he 145 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 1: started to win more than half, you know. So that's 146 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 1: really what these guys have to do. They have to 147 00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: keep battling, keep learning from their experiences. You know, be 148 00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:33,520 Speaker 1: mentally tough, be physically tough, you know technically become better 149 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,400 Speaker 1: and and you and and you'll and you'll grow and 150 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: improve as a player over time. But there's no questions 151 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 1: one of the most challenging positions in football to block 152 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: these elite rushers every week. Andrew's done a nice job 153 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:47,560 Speaker 1: so far. He's gonna get better and better as we go.
