1 00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,600 Speaker 1: All right today beginning of phase three. So we started 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:06,960 Speaker 1: the O t as today. We'll do a couple more 3 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 1: this week and then we'll be off to the races. 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 1: So it was competitive. It was good, Um the first 5 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:14,960 Speaker 1: time they're out there going against one another. It's important 6 00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: that we're smart about how we compete, and I think 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:21,520 Speaker 1: they handle it well. So with that, I'll take your questions. 8 00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: How do you plan on dealing with the reps with 9 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,400 Speaker 1: Daniel and getting him working behind Eli and the other veterans. 10 00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:33,560 Speaker 1: He's just gonna get reps just like every other player, 11 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 1: So he'll be in there competing with the twos and 12 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,239 Speaker 1: it sometimes with the truth you view the quarterback as 13 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:45,239 Speaker 1: an opening competition. I view the view that the quarterback position, 14 00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,160 Speaker 1: we have a starter in Eli, and we've got guys 15 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:52,239 Speaker 1: behind him, uh and specifically Daniel Jones that needs to 16 00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 1: do everything you can to get ready to play you know, 17 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: week one, and that's where we're at. Do you want 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: to get equal practice reps for the three guys behind 19 00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 1: them or do you No? We will scale it certainly. 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,360 Speaker 1: I mean they'll all get their work, but but Daniel 21 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: will get the majority of that. Coach Sam Field, Yeah, 22 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: what was the impress would would you pretty like the 23 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,800 Speaker 1: first day out there, he looked good. You know, his 24 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: movement skills were great last year when we saw him, 25 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: it was just a short, short period of time, and um, 26 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:26,959 Speaker 1: he looked good out there today. So it's like anything, 27 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,479 Speaker 1: he's coming back. They all got to get their sea 28 00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,680 Speaker 1: legs back a little bit. He saw him stumbling just 29 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: a little bit, but his movement skills are good. He 30 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: looked like he competed. We'll go back in and watch 31 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: the tape and see how close he wasn't coverage, but 32 00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,720 Speaker 1: he looked pretty good. So we're looking for from Daniel today. 33 00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,039 Speaker 1: And what did you see? Well, like all the all 34 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,200 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks were looking at you know, to execute well, um, 35 00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: execute the plays that are called within the situations that 36 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: they're presented. And um, I thought it was a good 37 00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: first day for him. Do see that looked to you 38 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,800 Speaker 1: in general? I mean I know when he talked him, 39 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: make sure that he said he does he was in 40 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: even better physical shape than than last year. Yeah, to 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,160 Speaker 1: this point, I think he's looked really good throwing the ball. Well, 42 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,919 Speaker 1: it looks good physically, So yeah, I would agree with Mike. 43 00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 1: You see a big difference right now in him as 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: far as what he knows command life as opposed to 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 1: you know, your number two obviously just just even a 46 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,640 Speaker 1: no t A. He he liked that. He you know, okay, 47 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,360 Speaker 1: you know he's it's processing weight faster than last year 48 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 1: at this time. No, I mean he always the process pickle. 49 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,639 Speaker 1: I think any time in your year two into the pacist, 50 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: we're able to get in um a better play. We 51 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: can package sins more than just calling plays um. All 52 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: things that he can handle him he does a good 53 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: job with. That's Weirdaline and you he finally had an 54 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: opportunity to see him physically, and yeah, he's making he's 55 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 1: making progress. You know, I think it's still gonna be 56 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,800 Speaker 1: a little bit of time, but every day he gets 57 00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 1: better and better. And this is something that he's gonna 58 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 1: make a full recovery from. It's just gonna take a 59 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: little time. He's had like a be alright to training camp, 60 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: Kinny deal maybe even though I don't know, hopefully hopefully sooner, 61 00:03:08,880 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 1: but we'll have to wait and see you guys, signed Pramers. 62 00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 1: What did what did you event didn't get a matter 63 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: of passing of physical for him and how did you 64 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: look out of there. Well, I was. I worked with 65 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:22,799 Speaker 1: with Mike for two years and he's a he's a pro, 66 00:03:23,080 --> 00:03:25,359 Speaker 1: he's a real pro. He did he played winning football 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,960 Speaker 1: for US in Minnesota, so I I knew a lot 68 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: about Mike. And then he started every game last year, 69 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: played well, um, and so we were in talks with him, 70 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 1: took a couple of physicals and just went through the 71 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: process and signed him. How closes he being, I will 72 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: have to see, you know. I think he's working his 73 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: way back. M just like some guys um this time 74 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 1: of year, training camp for reasonable for I think they'll 75 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 1: be ready to go once the season starts for sure. 76 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: What was what's the thing on the timing on the 77 00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: Nates procedure? Yeah, he just had a little clean up 78 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: in his an cool you know, something that happens for 79 00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: guys um, and you know, we felt like it just 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440 Speaker 1: started to flare up a little bit and he felt like, 81 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: just take care of it and he'll be back. He'll 82 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: be back soon, He'll be ready for training camp. That 83 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:15,600 Speaker 1: was the hope with him, that it would clear up 84 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: by itself. And then you decided no, I mean I'm 85 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: not certainly not a doctor, but it was just one 86 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 1: of those things. They just had to go in there 87 00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,880 Speaker 1: and clean up a little piece of it. Nothing, nothing major, 88 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,240 Speaker 1: but you know, we have time, and you know, he's 89 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 1: a guy that's a real pro about getting ready to play, 90 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: and so he'll be able to do that or any 91 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: of these other guys done, Gee, Chandler, if they we 92 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: had a couple of guys and no, no, not just 93 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,279 Speaker 1: I don't really have anything to add. You know, there's 94 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: some guys that are dealing with cleanups and moving on. 95 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: But um, I had a couple of guys with the 96 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,520 Speaker 1: weather got him. That's that's the reason. Is this the 97 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 1: first time you had the lot letter on the field. No, 98 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 1: he's been out there, he's been working a way back. 99 00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: He would have had what I would have called a 100 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: little bit of a knee clean up, and so he's 101 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 1: just working his way back. So going John at center again, 102 00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 1: I mean he's yeah, I mean yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 103 00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:16,479 Speaker 1: He was really playing well for us before he got 104 00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: hurt a year ago, and so we had high hopes 105 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: for last season. But you know, the peer's like he's 106 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,880 Speaker 1: come back. Ad he's back in there just like just 107 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: like he was when he when he left us. Could 108 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: just to be clear to dejecter. No, I'm not Weather 109 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: Weather weather the same from Yeah, I think it's a 110 00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:48,400 Speaker 1: long I think I think it's good on both counts. Um. 111 00:05:48,440 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: You know, I think there's it's a really really good 112 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: quarterback room. And there are two very competitive guys that 113 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: work well together, you know, and guys are in there 114 00:05:58,200 --> 00:05:59,919 Speaker 1: just trying to get better with each rep and they 115 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: help each other. And UM, I feel really good about 116 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: um the interaction that they've had to this point, just 117 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: the way quarterbacks, just the way quarterbacks communicate. And they're 118 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,840 Speaker 1: they're smart guys that are highly competitive, that are are 119 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,159 Speaker 1: well accomplished players, and they're doing what they can to 120 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,039 Speaker 1: get ready to play. He lives getting ready to play 121 00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: winning football, and Dan Jones is trying to learn the 122 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: offense and get himself ready to play Week one. And 123 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: like all the quarterbacks in the room, and because they 124 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 1: have a general respect for one another, and because that 125 00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: really is a healthy quarterback room, they both can improve 126 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: um and get better. And I think that's good. No, 127 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: not at all. He's approached other quarterbacks aren't willing to 128 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 1: be that mentor to two younger quarterbacks. When we say 129 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 1: elive braces that roll Yeah, there's there's a lot of 130 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: conversation with regard to that. Listen, you got a guy 131 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: that's played in this league for very long time. It's 132 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 1: getting himself ready to play the two thousand nineteen seasons. 133 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: So he has a process that he goes through, and 134 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,840 Speaker 1: we've got a new draft pick that's trying to get 135 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: himself ready to play week one, and so they're racing, 136 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: they get themselves better, and they help each other. And 137 00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: that's the way these rooms work. If you gotta if 138 00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,679 Speaker 1: you got a good room. It looks like Eli lost 139 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 1: some weight. If that's indeed the case, how does that 140 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,800 Speaker 1: help him? Pople Oh, I don't know. I don't think 141 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: he did. It might additionary shaped a little bit. I 142 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000 Speaker 1: don't know. Well, if he did lose a little bit 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,560 Speaker 1: of weight, I don't think he did. But if he did, um, 144 00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm sure he feels better moving around out there. You know, 145 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,440 Speaker 1: I think I know what. I lose weight. I feel better. 146 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 1: You've been very high on your brol peppers. It's the trade. 147 00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 1: What has been your first interaction and impressions of Yeah, well, 148 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: he made he made an impact today. You know, had 149 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:57,600 Speaker 1: an interception there. He is a he's the kind of 150 00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: guy that he if you don't know him, and and 151 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,400 Speaker 1: I remember him when he came out, and I've always 152 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 1: always admired his style to play, super competitive, love football, 153 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,480 Speaker 1: communicates extremely well. He saw he's really good in coverage. 154 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: You know, he got his hand on the ball and 155 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: he almost got his hand and two more, um, and 156 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: so he's and he's out there and you can see 157 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,200 Speaker 1: he's excited about playing football. And I think when you 158 00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: have guys in the lineup like that, it rubs off 159 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: on the other guys. And what about the last year 160 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: and now expected me more? I don't know about more, 161 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 1: you know, I think, um, you know, he had a 162 00:08:36,480 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 1: big load a year ago, you know, but it's best 163 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,440 Speaker 1: if we can spread the ball around. It certainly makes 164 00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:43,520 Speaker 1: sense for him to for us to hand him the 165 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: ball and then we certainly can throw it to him 166 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: as well. Um. And so you know he'll he'll be 167 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: involved for sure, And we try to watch it and see. 168 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,240 Speaker 1: I wouldn't say manage it, but do what's best because 169 00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 1: we have other good players that should touch the ball 170 00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:58,520 Speaker 1: as well.
