1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,920
Speaker 1: Hey, Daniel, Uh, I'm curious, what did you think when

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: you heard that Dwayne Haskins uh was gonna be removed

3
00:00:07,440 --> 00:00:10,680
Speaker 1: as a starter, And what's that relationship like. Obviously when

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:11,879
Speaker 1: you were in the draft, it was a lot of

5
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of debate about who the top

6
00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:16,480
Speaker 1: quarterback was. So obviously he's part of that draft class

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: and and the decision for you to be here and

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:23,200
Speaker 1: him there. Yeah, Um, you know, it's not something I've

9
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: been uh focused on really. You know, we're focused on

10
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: on you know, what we're doing here and trying to prepare, um,

11
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, trying to prepare weekend and week out. Um.

12
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: You know, I got to know Dwayne through the through

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,839
Speaker 1: the draft, like you said, and and uh, you know,

14
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: certainly wishing the best, but um, you know, not not

15
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: really something we're focused on. When you look at this game,

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is the first time all you're you

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: guys are going into a game. Favorite are you sitting

18
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 1: are you guys looking around the locker room saying, guys,

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: this is a game we should win. I mean, is

20
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 1: there a different sense? Um? You know, I think we

21
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: we have that confidence every week and you know we

22
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: haven't gotten the results um, you know that we would

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,440
Speaker 1: have hoped for this, you know, to this point. And

24
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: and you know, but I think every week we go

25
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: in expecting to win. We go on expecting to to

26
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,600
Speaker 1: execute a high level and and um, you know, play

27
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:21,039
Speaker 1: our game. So, um you know, we're we're confident. You know,

28
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: the Redskins are a good team, they're good defense, and

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 1: they do a lot of um you know, a lot

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: of good things. So we'll have to prepare and and

31
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 1: be ready to play. But um, you know, we try to,

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,960
Speaker 1: um you know, go into every game ready to go

33
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,839
Speaker 1: and and uh ready to execute. After the last couple

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 1: of weeks, do you feel you're a little closer. Yeah,

35
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:43,319
Speaker 1: you know, I think we've like I said, we haven't

36
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: gotten the results, but um, you know, I feel like

37
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: we we are improving as a team. We've taken steps,

38
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: I think, uh you know, as an offense. You know,

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: some of our best football have been in these last

40
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:57,560
Speaker 1: two games. So, um, you know, the challenges to keep building,

41
00:01:57,680 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 1: you know, we we gotta make gotta find a way

42
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: to make if more plays and uh convert some more opportunities.

43
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: But um, you know that that's the challenge. And I

44
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 1: think you know, we are taking a step in the

45
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:15,040
Speaker 1: right direction. We just gotta um gotta finish games. Last

46
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: one here, Tom Rock Daniel. When we talk to your

47
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: coaches about you, they expressed a lot of confidence in you.

48
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: They talk about how, you know, yesterday Jerry said you

49
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: have it. You know, Uh, Joe has been on record saying,

50
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, you're you're his quarterback, and and sort of

51
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: period end of discussion. Do you need to hear those things?

52
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Does it? Is it nice to get those things said

53
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: about you publicly and and I'm sure privately when they

54
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 1: expressed those to you, Um, yeah, I certainly appreciate, um,

55
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, their support and and um you know, I'm

56
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 1: certainly working as hard as I can to to uh

57
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: you know, improve and take coaching and uh you know,

58
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: help help this offense, uh you know, move forward. So um,

59
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: you know, we're all we're all working together and and

60
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: we all have uh we have all have the same goal.

61
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: So um you know, like I said, I think we've

62
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: made improvement. We've we've taken steps and and uh we've

63
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: got to find a way to to finish some of

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: these games. Do you like the style of this coaching

65
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:16,399
Speaker 1: staff when it comes to things like that? To uh,

66
00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: you know, Joe, Joe said it. You could call it

67
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,359
Speaker 1: blunt and honest, but it's also tingue to be unsure

68
00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: with you know, expressing confidence. Yeah, I think, um, you know,

69
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: I think Coach Judge since the you know, since the

70
00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: day he's come in, has you know, been a very

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,400
Speaker 1: clear communicator. I think that's you know, part of the

72
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: you know, blunt and honest approach that he takes to

73
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: it and communicating with players. And I think guys you know,

74
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: respect that and respond to it well. I think you

75
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: know where uh, you know, where you stand and what

76
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: he what he expects of you. So, um, you know,

77
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: I think from him and then um, you know, you know,

78
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: all the coaches on the staff, that's kind of the

79
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: approach and and I think guys um appreciate it and

80
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,520
Speaker 1: and respond well to it.
