1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: We asked you a lot in the off season about

2
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,160
Speaker 1: what would be like learning a new offense when it

3
00:00:04,240 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: was very early. Now you've you know, been in sixteen weeks,

4
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:09,320
Speaker 1: and curiously, what are some of the biggest differences that

5
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:11,360
Speaker 1: you've had the many biggest changes you've had to make,

6
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: uh this season as a quarterback. Um, you know, I think, um,

7
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:22,759
Speaker 1: obviously the terminology and learning how we're gonna call things,

8
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: how we're gonna uh you know, I d things and

9
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: and from that standpoint, and and my job pre snap

10
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,080
Speaker 1: and post snap is is a little bit different, uh

11
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: you know, in this system. But I think that's something

12
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: that uh, you know, we've gotten comfortable with and I've

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 1: gotten comfortable with and just you know, I think, um,

14
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: seeing certain plays, seeing certain concepts, being able to to

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: rep them and see them in in live game actions,

16
00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 1: learned from you know, learn from from those reps and

17
00:00:51,120 --> 00:00:55,520
Speaker 1: and uh you know kind of um you know, take

18
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: those mental mental notes or mental pictures to what you

19
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: get in the game or you know, against certain certain

20
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 1: plays and certain looks and being able to learn from that.

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:08,760
Speaker 1: So I think, um, you know, I certainly feel comfortable

22
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: uh where I am now, and I've enjoyed, uh, you know,

23
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 1: learning it and and uh working through it. Thanks of course,

24
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 1: Hey Daniel, um um if um um. The way things

25
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: are trending, the Cowboys are scoring a lot of points

26
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: the last month of the season and winning a lot

27
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: of games. Um. If that trend continues, Um, how equipped

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: do you think you are in your offense is to

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: match points with a team that's scoring you know upboards

30
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 1: of twenties thirties. You guys almost did that the first

31
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: time against the Cowboys. How about now? Yeah, you know,

32
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 1: we're we're confident as an offense, and you know, I

33
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: think we've got to take advantage of our opportunities, uh

34
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 1: to score points, particularly when we get the ball in

35
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,000
Speaker 1: the red zone and move the ball down there. So UM,

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 1: you know we're we're we're certain. The confident in our

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: ability to to do that and score points is um,

38
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: I mean the results have not shown that. What gives

39
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: you that confidence? You know, what gives you that you're

40
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: getting close? Uh? Well, we have done it, um, you

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: know at times and and you know you're right, we

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: need to be more consistent with it. We need to

43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: finish those opportunities. But we got the guys capable to

44
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: do it and and um, you know we've we've done

45
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: it uh in spurts this year and and uh, you

46
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: know it's going to take our our best game on Sunday,

47
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: and that's certainly what we're preparing for. Thank you, Jordans.

48
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,799
Speaker 1: Hey Daniel, how you doing? This is essentially a playoff

49
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: game and you know it's an elimination game for whoever

50
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: loses this can win the division. H how do you

51
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,959
Speaker 1: intend on approaching this game? And do you expect anything different?

52
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: A lot of times with quarterbacks, these are the kind

53
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: of games that people judge you on. Uh. Yeah, you

54
00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,200
Speaker 1: know we're we're not uh you know, focused on um,

55
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: you know, anything that happens after you know, Sunday. You know,

56
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: our job is to um prepare as well as we

57
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,839
Speaker 1: can and as hard as we can to to play

58
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: our best games someday. And that's you know where our

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: focus is is. Um, you know, to be prepared as

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: we as we possibly can and and play well. That's

61
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: certainly my uh you know, individual focus as well. So um,

62
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: that's a goal and that's kind of our you know,

63
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: our mindset going in. You expect it to feel like

64
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: a normal regular season game or how much. Do you

65
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:33,919
Speaker 1: think it might you know, the intensity might be ramped

66
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 1: up to a different level than than you've seen so far. Uh. Well,

67
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: you know it is a division game against an opponent

68
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: we we know uh very well, and and um you know,

69
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: so from that standpoint, yeah, it'll be uh, it will

70
00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 1: certainly be an intense uh atmosphere and and uh you know,

71
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 1: guys will be ready to go. We'll take two more,

72
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Tom Rock, don't leave Tom Rock. Daniel, do you do

73
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: you feel ready to run? Now? You know you haven't

74
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 1: had a designed carry since since you heard your hamstring

75
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: you you only have one so far in the two

76
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 1: games since you've been back. Do you feel like you're

77
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: you're able to make plays on the ground when when

78
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:20,599
Speaker 1: cold upon Um? Yeah, you know I think, uh, you know,

79
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: I'll continue to to work with the trainers and and

80
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,640
Speaker 1: trust that that program, you know, I think, Um, you know,

81
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I've I've played from the pocket, um you know, the

82
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: past couple of weeks, and and you know I expect to,

83
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: uh you know, continue to do that until I'm until

84
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:42,799
Speaker 1: I'm healthy. So, um, you know we'll we'll see uh

85
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 1: what exactly, but um, you know I expect the game

86
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: plan and and what I'm asked to do to be

87
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: fairly similar to what it's been, um these past few weeks.

88
00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:56,039
Speaker 1: How much of that? How much does that limit the

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:58,440
Speaker 1: entire offense? Do you think when when you're not able

90
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: to to make the as place? I mean, that was

91
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 1: that was a big part of what you guys were

92
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: doing for a long time. Uh, yeah, you know what

93
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 1: we got. We got a lot of ways to run

94
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:12,719
Speaker 1: the ball. We've got a really good runners and and guys.

95
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: We can get into space and make play. So um,

96
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: you know, I think, Um, you know, we'll we'll continue

97
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: to do that, get the ball to those guys. And

98
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:24,719
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not sure if it limits us a

99
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: whole lot, but we've got to be good with um,

100
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,160
Speaker 1: you know what we can do. And then just just

101
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: one more following up on that, Uh you know, how

102
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: hard is it on you to sort of curb those

103
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: instincts to take off with the ball and run? Uh

104
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,159
Speaker 1: if if that is in fact what you're what what

105
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: you're being asked to do? Uh, you know, I think, um,

106
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 1: you know, certainly something I have to be aware of

107
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: with uh, you know, my mobility and and you know

108
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: what I can do and and something I'm you know,

109
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: cognizant of uh playing the game, but um, you know,

110
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know how to play these past

111
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: couple of weeks and you know, kind of gotten used

112
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:07,919
Speaker 1: to it, Daniel, I just want to go back full circle. So,

113
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: but Doug and nasked first, when did you uh really

114
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: feel comfortable in this offense? And was it harder to

115
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 1: learn an offense, a new offense in your second year

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: than maybe you thought it would be when you first

117
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 1: realized you were going to have doing you know, last January. Um,

118
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, I certainly think I've I've learned uh every week,

119
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: and I've I've improved every week. I'm not sure that

120
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: that's um, you know thinking. I'm not sure. I think

121
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: about my improvement in my progression and scope and you know,

122
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: with reference to our offense and and understanding the system.

123
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: I think of it more as uh, you know, me

124
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:48,240
Speaker 1: as a as a player and as a second year

125
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: quarterback in this league learning and and uh, you know,

126
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: trying to improve. And you know I've felt comfortable in

127
00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:58,920
Speaker 1: this in this offense, uh this whole year, and and um,

128
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: you know there's certainly been as I've learned and picked

129
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: up on throughout the way. But um, as far as

130
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: how I see my uh progression in my improvement, I'm

131
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: not sure I look at it, um, you know, based

132
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: on being comfortable in the offense or anything uh specific

133
00:07:15,680 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: to that necessarily, last want to hear Jordan's Hey, Daniel,

134
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: I just want to go back a second. You said

135
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: you tend to play from the pocket until I'm healthy?

136
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 1: Uh do you not consider yourself near full strength? Is

137
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 1: that kind of what you're referring to there? I feel good,

138
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: I feel uh, I feel healthy. But um, you know,

139
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: I think you can tell that from the tape that

140
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: you know I'm not Uh you know, I can't do

141
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the same things I'm I'm used to doing,

142
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 1: so uh you know, I'll continue to work and work

143
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:53,559
Speaker 1: to improve, but um, you know, UH, for the time being,

144
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 1: you know, I'll probably have to play, uh just the

145
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: way I've played and and uh you know I've been

146
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 1: doing that the past few I mean, I'm not asking

147
00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,920
Speaker 1: you to put a number on it, right, but but

148
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 1: how close are you then to being at that point?

149
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,320
Speaker 1: What do you like? How much are you limited to it?

150
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: Is kind of what I'm asking. Yeah, UM, you know,

151
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: I think, UM, I certainly haven't been uh as involved

152
00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:24,679
Speaker 1: in the run game, and uh you know certain certain areas,

153
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 1: uh you know, getting out of the pocket and and
