1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,000
Speaker 1: He does a good job. He's he's in there early,

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: he's always asking questions. Uh, you know, he's in there,

3
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, after practice with us, watching film and uh,

4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:11,280
Speaker 1: you know, you can tell he's picking up on stuff

5
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: fairly quickly. So I think that's a good time. He

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 1: was schooled by, you know, the same coach that Eli was,

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: and he kind of looks a little likely you sense

8
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:20,560
Speaker 1: any similarities do you kind of look at them, think

9
00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: it's a little bit like much younger relie anybody shape

10
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: or for you know, you know, I don't know about that.

11
00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's got a really good approach

12
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: so far. Uh and you know, if you come into

13
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:32,560
Speaker 1: the room and he just watched the way Eli goes

14
00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: about his work, you know, I think it's pretty easy

15
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: to see that. Um, you know, the reason he's had

16
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:39,760
Speaker 1: so much successes as approached. So he's picked up on

17
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: that very quickly. So I think that's good. Is that

18
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: what you did last year? I mean we did you

19
00:00:43,560 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 1: try to have three eyes on Eli? Sometimes? I mean

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:47,880
Speaker 1: it's tough not to when you come into this building,

21
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, all the success he's had, uh, you know,

22
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: but I've tried to kind of do that everywhere I've gone.

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Whoever that veteran guy is is, Uh, you know, pick

24
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: their brain as much as I possibly can, and and

25
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: and take any useful information that I can and apply

26
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: that to my What what did you pick up? Mostly?

27
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:04,720
Speaker 1: You think last year watch through Eli. I think it's

28
00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 1: what I said earlier. I think it's the way it

29
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: goes about his business. I mean, he's he's so consistent

30
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: day in day out, whether it's after a win, after

31
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: a loss, after a good game, after a bad game. Uh,

32
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 1: you know, he puts his head down and he goes

33
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,480
Speaker 1: to work, and he does the same thing every week.

34
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: How about you coming back here? I mean, you know

35
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,120
Speaker 1: it's not assured you would come you back here, in fact,

36
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: that you did enough to have them want to sign

37
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: you to come back. Yeah, you know, I didn't really

38
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 1: know what was gonna happen going into free agency, and uh,

39
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, my agent called me. I was thrilled to

40
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: be back in this building. Uh you know, I've been

41
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: in quite a few locker rooms over the last seven

42
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,479
Speaker 1: or eight years, and uh, you know, I'm really excited

43
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: about the vibe and um, you know, just the way

44
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: the direction this team has had different than last year's son. Uh,

45
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,400
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if I can say that. Uh,

46
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: you know, I was new here last year and I

47
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 1: was just trying to get to know everybody. But now

48
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: being in here a year, um, you know, I can

49
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: tell that. You know, especially this time of year, everybody's

50
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,320
Speaker 1: here and they're here to work and get better. If

51
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: you've spent some time with Daniel, now we've been here,

52
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: there's a few weeks to get a general idea of

53
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: what he's like as a person, how would you describe

54
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: this personality? Somewhat soft spoken, very respectful. Uh, he just

55
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: telling them curious. He's always asking questions, and he's asking uh,

56
00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,799
Speaker 1: you know, good questions, questions that apply. He can tell

57
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: he's picking up stuff at a pretty good pace. The

58
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: Harrison is obviously he's very much like you. Yeah, what

59
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: do you think of that? Uh? And regards, I'm talking

60
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,080
Speaker 1: personality lice in the meaning of the way they kind

61
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: of carry them. So yeah, I mean it just you know,

62
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: I haven't spent a ton of time with them, but

63
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: just you know a couple of weeks we've been here,

64
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 1: you can tell that he doesn't let a lot of stuff,

65
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: you know, it really phase him. So whether it's a

66
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: good throw bad throw. Uh, you know, he doesn't show

67
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: a ton of expression. I think that's a good quality

68
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: to have the quarterback position. It's how hard is it

69
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: for a new guy coming in to get the command

70
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: of the huddle, especially as a rookie. It's it's pretty

71
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: that's pretty hard to do just because uh, you know,

72
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: just the volume and it's the volume and we you know,

73
00:02:57,800 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: this time of year, we don't have a ton of

74
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: times of time in the meeting room, so um, and

75
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: you're not getting a ton of reps, you know what

76
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,679
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody's kind of getting the same amount of reps.

77
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, just being able to pick up

78
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 1: the stuff that we talk about in the classroom and

79
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: transfer that to the to the practice field. It's tough

80
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 1: when you're young. But I think he's doing a good job.

81
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,200
Speaker 1: What about in terms of you know, getting building relationships

82
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: with your offensive line and your batch you receiver's how

83
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: important is that in terms of you know, building up

84
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: that competence in the huddle. It's definitely important, you know,

85
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 1: but that just takes time. Uh, And that's kind of

86
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: you know what's great about being being here, you know,

87
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: in May and then building that you know, kind of

88
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: bond with, like you said, guys out front and the

89
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:38,520
Speaker 1: guys around you at the skill positions, and you know,

90
00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: I think that just kind of builds as you go

91
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: into training camp and throughout the preseason. So it's pretty

92
00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: much an organic type of process. It's not something that

93
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,200
Speaker 1: can be for so yeah, I think so. I mean

94
00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 1: it's just like you know, becoming friends with someone. It's

95
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280
Speaker 1: the more time you spend with him, the better you

96
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: get to know him. You know, you get to eat

97
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: lunch with guys. Uh. So I think that's important in

98
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: terms of your confidence in the huddle. I mean, do

99
00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: you feel that you have built that up and you

100
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 1: now have a better I guess, for lack of term,

101
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: feel for that, a better command of the hoddle. Yeah,

102
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,040
Speaker 1: I feel, you know, much more comfortable. Uh. You know, um,

103
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: right now where I'm at compared to last year when

104
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 1: I got here. You know, it was a new system.

105
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: There are some similarities and stuff that I've done, uh

106
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: and past offenses. But I know, I feel pretty confident

107
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: and I feel like I have a good command of

108
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: of what we're doing right now. And from a quarterback perspective,

109
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: when the offensive line changes this much change for you

110
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,040
Speaker 1: or do you not you know as a quarterback or

111
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 1: do you not pay attention to that? Just it's really

112
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,000
Speaker 1: who's the center? You know, there's some there's some stuff

113
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,240
Speaker 1: where you gotta you've got guys kind of rolling it

114
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 1: out of center right now where you gotta be comfortable

115
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 1: getting a snap under center, and some shotgun stuff. Guys

116
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: are just a little bit different. But as a whole,

117
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't really change. Um, you know, you're still making

118
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the same calls and you're just trusting those guys are

119
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: gonna do the right thing. So it's not a climbing

120
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: issue or anything like that. No, no, really, it's just

121
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 1: the quarterback center change is really the only fun. Thank

122
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: you someone who picked up his office for the first

123
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:56,040
Speaker 1: time last year. How can you help Daniel who's obviously

124
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 1: coming from college, you're in the NFL a little bit different.

125
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: How can you help him pick up this offense now?

126
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 1: Is a rookie. Yeah, well, I I think, uh, you know,

127
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: from my background, I've been in so many offenses, so

128
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: I've been in so many positions where I've stepped into

129
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: a building and had to learn a brand new offense

130
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 1: as quickly as possible. So I think I have a

131
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: lot of experience from that point, and that's just kind

132
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: of ways to study. Uh So whether it's um, you know,

133
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 1: recording yourself saying plays, or you know, studying the script

134
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: and going over the game plan, just kind of the

135
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: best ways uh and kind of the order to go

136
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: to to go about that process. I think I have

137
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: a lot of experience uh in that, and I'm trying

138
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: to share as much information as I can with from

139
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: you get the sense that when he leaves here, he's

140
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: going home doing more, and then you see him a

141
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: little more ready every time he shows back up the

142
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: next day. Yeah, I mean he's he's definitely preparing the

143
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 1: right way. Uh. And that you know, it only takes

144
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: a couple of days to see, uh, to see that

145
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:44,560
Speaker 1: from someone
