1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: I'm ready to go, ready to answer questions. I think

2
00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: he had a really good preseason. He was you know, uh,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:15,800
Speaker 1: very composed and very had a really good knowledge of

4
00:00:15,800 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 1: what we were asking him to do and was productive

5
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: a lot. About what Tanny brings to the room, can

6
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,040
Speaker 1: you kind of shed some light on that, because actually

7
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,919
Speaker 1: we're not in the run. Yeah, I think he brings

8
00:00:25,960 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: a lot to our our team, you know, everywhere, um,

9
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: on the field, in the room, in the quarterback room,

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: on the offense on game day. I think he's uh

11
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 1: one of those guys that a lot of teams in

12
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:41,320
Speaker 1: this league are looking for to have as a UM

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: veteran backup quarterback. Uh. And uh, he's got a very

14
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: fast mind. Um he uh. You know, we'll ask questions

15
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: in the room, so as we're talking about the room,

16
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: that brings up good points that might lead to other questions.

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,279
Speaker 1: It's got a great relationship with the other quarterbacks. And

18
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: you know with the rest of the offense you've gone

19
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: against these times the Christmas shot. Um, when you look

20
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: at this Dallas defense, what jumps out at you when

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: you watch Yeah, I mean there's there their speed, um quickness, Um,

22
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, they're built for speed they've always been. They

23
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: get to the ball fast, they fly around. They and

24
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,959
Speaker 1: because they get to the ball so quickly, they've created

25
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 1: a lot of turnovers. Um. You know, they their scheme

26
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,720
Speaker 1: allows them to play really really fast, and they've drafted

27
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: guys within that scheme that um can be very disruptive.

28
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: How much fact will not haveing taken the first four

29
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: games have any guys well, I mean it's you know,

30
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: it's like anything else when you have guys that um,

31
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: you know we're are in and all of a sudden

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 1: they can't play, then it's the next guy up. I

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: think our guys in preseason have done an excellent job.

34
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're probably gonna be uh, you know in

35
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: the passing game just you know by committee move you know,

36
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: spread guys around. There's not going to be and we

37
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: we kind of want to be that anyways. We don't

38
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: want to have teams just kind of feel like they're

39
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:17,359
Speaker 1: going to dial in on one player or the other. UM. So,

40
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: you know, a lot like towards the end of last year,

41
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 1: we've had some guys that have stepped up and made

42
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: some plays in critical situations against one on one and

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: hopefully they'll pick up where they where they left off.

44
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: Might you're breaking in a whole new right side of

45
00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: your offensive line. And you mean you've got to Marcus

46
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,519
Speaker 1: Lawrence over there, a couple of all pro linebackers. What

47
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: kind of a challenger are they going into Week one? Well,

48
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 1: because of the reasons we talked earlier on on it's

49
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a great challenge. You know these Dallas

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: is their defense is one of the top in the league,

51
00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: and they're really really good at home, especially with you know,

52
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: having the crowd, noise and all that kind of stuff.

53
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,160
Speaker 1: Their speed and their their talents. So we have two

54
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: Number one, we've got to do a good job of

55
00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: staying out of the long yard situations, as we always

56
00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 1: talk about. But then you know, if we're in passing situations,

57
00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,840
Speaker 1: we got to make sure that you know whether or

58
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,239
Speaker 1: not we're you know, our sliding, our protection, using chip help,

59
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 1: or getting the ball out fast, all of those, all

60
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 1: of those things we do well. Um and uh, you know,

61
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 1: because they're really good rushing the pastor and they're also

62
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: good against the run too, so they bring movement. Um,

63
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: you know, I got speed on third down as whether

64
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:26,840
Speaker 1: or not it's up the field or change of direction.

65
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: They and they really more so than other teams, do

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 1: that in the inn first and second down two and

67
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: are very coordinated with their linebackers to play the run

68
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: I have. Preseason, we've talked about the offensive line. Suddenly

69
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: remors is an out there yesterday, You're talking about it

70
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: back again. Is this something that is a concern, Well,

71
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we obviously we want our guys that we're

72
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: in an all preseason and hopefully that's going to be

73
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: the case on Sunday, but um, you know, if not,

74
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: it's you know, we we go in with with our

75
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 1: next guy and and um, you know, whether or not

76
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: we too all of a sudden tweaks something based on

77
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:05,960
Speaker 1: someone on the offensive line not not playing, we'll look

78
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: at it. But for the most part, we've got guys

79
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: that are on our team that we feel like I

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: can come in and play and help us. Win's talked about,

81
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: uh this whole summer about getting Daniel ready for the

82
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: Cowboys game three days away. Now is if he if

83
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 1: he had to go in there. Yeah, Well, Number one,

84
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: my mind as as a UM in the position I'm in,

85
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: is to make sure all the quarterbacks are ready. And

86
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: that's kind of where my mind is. And um, if

87
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,279
Speaker 1: they're not ready to play week one, and you know

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm not, I'm not doing my job. So uh that's

89
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: all I kind of focus on, you know, And I think, Um,

90
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: Daniel has done a great job. There's only one judge

91
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: for us, and that's winning. So um, but I think

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: Daniel has done a great job. For from the other

93
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: rookies that I've been around, and I've been around some

94
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,080
Speaker 1: really good rookies, Uh, he's done. He's been a as

95
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,520
Speaker 1: good as all of them. Uh. I would say Eli's

96
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 1: had a uh an outstanding camp and he's ready to

97
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 1: go and help us win games. And we talked about

98
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,279
Speaker 1: Alex being ready and those guys now their roles change.

99
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,400
Speaker 1: They gotta be ready at moments notice without any reps.

100
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: So that's a challenge for guys that are used to playing,

101
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: especially for for Daniel. You know, Alex has kind of

102
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: been around, so he knows, he knows how it works.

103
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: And and um, but at that position, we gotta go

104
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,279
Speaker 1: play productive football as we know we two last season,

105
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: galass defense seemed to have success kind of sitting back

106
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: and keeping uniting in front of them. As you guys know,

107
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: how do you combat that as it run the ball

108
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: well enough that you forced them out of that well.

109
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120
Speaker 1: I think I think a lot of the times when

110
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: they were doing that, we were in long yardage situations.

111
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: I think that UM, yeah, I mean you have to

112
00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: have a little bit of everything. UM. If teams are

113
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 1: gonna try to um, stay back and keep and keep

114
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,039
Speaker 1: guys in front of you, then you have to be

115
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: able to be patient. We call it with our quarterbacks.

116
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: Be aggressively patient. You know, when when there's good looks

117
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,799
Speaker 1: there down the field, take them. If not, be patient

118
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: and take things underneath. UM. I think as the year

119
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: went on, just not necessarily against Dallas, but just in general, UM,

120
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: when we saw those looks, because they weren't the only

121
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 1: team we saw him against, UM, we were much better

122
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 1: at when we when we got the ball underneath of

123
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: making yards afterwards. I think there was a couple of

124
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 1: plays even in our second game against Dallas where you know,

125
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: Wayne caught up a ball underneath and went for fifteen yards.

126
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:29,920
Speaker 1: Se Kwan caught went underneath and went for you know.

127
00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: I mean they're really good in space. Dallas is really

128
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 1: good in space. But we've got guys, um that are

129
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: that are pretty good with the ball in the hands,

130
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,440
Speaker 1: in space and now, I think all of us, and

131
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: I've said this throughout the year or throughout the off season,

132
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 1: the comfort levels much higher. So when when our guys,

133
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 1: our guys should be playing faster uh now than they

134
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 1: did at any point last year because of of their

135
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: experience in the system
