1
00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: Daniel. I want to ask you, uh what it was

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 1: like to have Sterling out there with you for a

3
00:00:04,800 --> 00:00:06,680
Speaker 1: little bit today and and how he looked. I know

4
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't uh exactly a full practice, but you know,

5
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: how how's he coming along? Uh? Yeah, he's uh, he's

6
00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: doing good. You know, he's been out there, uh for

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:19,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now and and uh, you know,

8
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 1: I know he's uh you know, doing everything he can

9
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: to to get out there, but you know he's gotta

10
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: be gotta be smart and and you know that's uh

11
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: that's on him and the trainers to uh to do that. So, um, yeah,

12
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: he's good to have him out there. He's been out

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,319
Speaker 1: there for a little bit. Now, what would hang him

14
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: back mean on Thursday night for these for his offense,

15
00:00:42,360 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: I'd be it'd be great, you know, I think, uh,

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: he's obviously a special player and can do a lot

17
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 1: of different things, and um, you know, be be great

18
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 1: to have him back. But you know, we've had guys

19
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: step up and and play pretty you know, play play

20
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 1: really well and in that in that spot, so um,

21
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 1: you know, regardless OF's out there, it's up to us

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: two to execute. Thank you and Duggan, Hey, Daniel, I

23
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: know on his own read obviously, just by the nature

24
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,640
Speaker 1: of that, you're you're reading an end there. But are

25
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,279
Speaker 1: there are times when you know, like I can probably

26
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: pull it because you're seeing a few times that they

27
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,959
Speaker 1: haven't been kind of you know, sticking with you on

28
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,960
Speaker 1: that back side. Or is it always just to read?

29
00:01:20,280 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think I think you can kind of

30
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,199
Speaker 1: get a sense for how they're playing it and and

31
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: uh you know who who's playing it, how they're playing

32
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 1: it in different you know ways. But I think you know,

33
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 1: you also need to be careful to to actually you know,

34
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: reading them. I think when you predetermine any any of

35
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: those decisions, uh, you can get into trouble. So um yeah.

36
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: And then when you get downfield, do you feel like

37
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: you need to, you know, maybe get a little better

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 1: sliding or you're comfortable kind of taking some of those

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: shots that you're taking the open field. Uh yeah, you know,

40
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: probably uh probably do a better job getting down on

41
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: some of those situations, and and uh you know, but

42
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: that's part of the game. Football is the physical game,

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: and and uh you know I can uh yeah, I

44
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: probably be better there next. Matt Lombardo, Hey, Daniel, how's

45
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: it going, man? Good? How you doing, Matt good? Good? Um,

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,720
Speaker 1: I'm curious you look at Evan Ingram and you guys

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: have kind of struggled to get him going, especially you know,

48
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: stretching the field with him. Indeed, what's been kind of

49
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:27,560
Speaker 1: the issue there? And on the flip side of that,

50
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: you and Darius have had a great connection through the

51
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 1: first six weeks or so. What's been going right in

52
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: that regard? Yeah, you know, Evans a special player. He

53
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: creates a lot of problems for defenses. And you know,

54
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: defenses are certainly aware of of, you know, of what

55
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: he can do and what he brings to the table.

56
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: So uh, you know, as an offense, we gotta continue

57
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: to execute you know, our stuff, and and you know

58
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: he's a big part of that. So uh, you know,

59
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: finding those opportunities to to get him the ball. And uh,

60
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: you know, he's dangerous with ball in his hands. Um,

61
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: you know, certainly good getting open and really good after

62
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: the catch too, So uh, you know, we've got to

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: do a good job getting him the ball and and

64
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: and Darius has done a great job, uh you know

65
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: through these first few weeks getting open and and uh,

66
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: you know, he's a he's an extremely talented player, a

67
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: smart guy, and you can trust him to to get

68
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:23,440
Speaker 1: open and be in the right spot. One of his

69
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: biggest schemes was in Philly last year, um with the

70
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,679
Speaker 1: two touchdown catchers. If you guys going back and watch

71
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: that film at all and kind of picked up on

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: things that might have worked really well last time around

73
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: for this year, Yeah, you know, it's uh, you know,

74
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: they've got some different guys and some different spots and um,

75
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: you know, a little bit different defense, but uh the

76
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: same you know, the same scheme obviously the same coordinator.

77
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, we we've looked at that and and

78
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: uh you know we're uh you know, we'll uh use

79
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 1: that in our in our game plan, but um, you know,

80
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: need to need to do what we do and and

81
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: execute a high level. And Valentine Daniel, I just wanted

82
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: to ask you, obviously you've been asked to run a

83
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 1: lot more the last couple of weeks. Do you do

84
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: you like, you know, having that responsibility or having that

85
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: that freedom to run more and and how much do

86
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: you think that helps your offense? You know, to put

87
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: that that element into the playbook. Uh yeah, you know,

88
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: I think it it uh you know, helps the helps

89
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: the running game, uh you know, opens up things for

90
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: for backs and and uh you know, helps the passing

91
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: game too. I think you know the this, you know,

92
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: one of the strengths of this offense is is the

93
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: ability to do a lot of different things with with

94
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: you know, different personnel and and you know when when uh,

95
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, my numbers called to run and are certainly

96
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, excited for those opportunities. So, um, you know,

97
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: I think that you know, you're seeing what what this

98
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: offense you can do. And we've got to continue to um,

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: you know, continue to improve, continue to Actually you thank you, Patty. Hey, Daniel,

100
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: how you doing good? How you doing Patty? I'm doing well,

101
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 1: Thank you, Daniel. The Eagles have quite a few injuries

102
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball, and I'm just wondering,

103
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,400
Speaker 1: when you prepare for them, do you put more of

104
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: an emphasis on focusing on the scheme. Do you balance

105
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: more on the replacement players because no two players obviously

106
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: are the same. I mean, how do you approach that

107
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: when you when you're facing a team that's so banged

108
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,120
Speaker 1: up on that side of the ball. Yeah, you know,

109
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 1: I think it's a it's a balance between both I think,

110
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, having awareness for the for the personnel, uh

111
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,039
Speaker 1: you know, and you know what their strengths and weaknesses

112
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 1: are as players, and uh you know what their tendencies are,

113
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: and then understanding how that fits into the the scheme

114
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: and what they want to do, uh you know, on

115
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: on defense and and uh you know what coverages they're playing,

116
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: what fronts and pressures they play. So, um, I think

117
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,479
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it. But you know, with

118
00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: all that, I think, um, you know, we take the

119
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: approach to focus on on ourselves first, you know, focus

120
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: on preparing, um you know, to play well as a team,

121
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: as an offense, and taking care of um, you know,

122
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: our business first. With that said, do you see much

123
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: of a difference in what they've been able to do

124
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: on defense given all the injuries? Uh? Yeah, I think

125
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: you can see, uh you know, a little bit different.

126
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: Uh you know, game plan week to week depending on

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: who's who's out there for him. But um, you know,

128
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: for the most part, they want to do what they

129
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,719
Speaker 1: do and and um you know stick to that. So

130
00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 1: um you know, we we'll certainly fact that in the

131
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: game plan. But like I said, it's it's about us.

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: It's about you know, us executing and and uh, you

133
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: know going out there and playing well. Thank you, Daniel, Yeah,

134
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: thank you. We'll take four more. Chris, Mark Patt and

135
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: Art Mark. Hey Daniel, thanks for doing this as always. Um,

136
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: can you talk a little bit about last year? You

137
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: at several occasions where you you kind of put the

138
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: offense on your back and carry it a couple of

139
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, three or three or so four or five

140
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: touchdown games. You haven't had those occasions yet this year.

141
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,280
Speaker 1: Is that a product of just trying to be a

142
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,800
Speaker 1: little more careful with the ball. Obviously it's a different system, Um,

143
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: And do you still feel confident that you can throw

144
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 1: those kind of numbers up, you know when needed? Uh? Yeah,

145
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think, um, you know, we're we're you know,

146
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: doing doing what we can to to execute, you know,

147
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 1: as as an offense and and you know move the ball, uh,

148
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: you know, as a team. And I think that's you

149
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: know the important thing, that's where our focus is is uh,

150
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: you know, making sure every time we we touched the ball,

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 1: we're moving it and scoring points and uh finishing with touchdowns.

152
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: So you know, we've got a lot of a lot

153
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: of good players, a lot of uh people who can

154
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: who can uh you know, do a lot and make

155
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: a lot of plays for us, and you know, my

156
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: jobs to to get them the ball. So um, yeah,

157
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: you know I'm kind fit in and where we are

158
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: as an offense and and uh, you know, excited going forward.

159
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,119
Speaker 1: Do you find sometimes that you are walking a line?

160
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, you've made a lot of good

161
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: plays already in your short career, but you've also obviously

162
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: had the turnover issues and stuff. Are you walking a

163
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:19,880
Speaker 1: fine line trying to still be aggressive but not you know,

164
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: sacrifice that with turnover so to speak. Yeah, you know,

165
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,600
Speaker 1: I think that's kind of uh, you know the job,

166
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 1: uh in a sense that you know, you need to

167
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 1: be able to do both. You've got to be able

168
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: to protect the football and and uh you know, be

169
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: aggressive and aggressively you know, take what they give you, uh,

170
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: you know as a quarterback. So um, you know that's

171
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: that's the challenge. That's my job and and you know

172
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: I'll continue to to improve with it. Thanks Daniel, Thank you,

173
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: Chris Daniel. Just in piggyback that locks question a little bit.

174
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: Do you feel, look, we all know to turn over

175
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: is you know, is an issue and all that, But

176
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: do you feel at times that make you're not being aggressive,

177
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:06,439
Speaker 1: maybe holding back and taking a shot down the field

178
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:11,120
Speaker 1: because you don't want that turn off? Um, you know,

179
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: I think uh, like I said, I think that's the

180
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 1: uh the challenge as a quarterback is understanding when to

181
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: take those uh you know, when to when to try

182
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: to make those plays and when not too so you know,

183
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: I'm not sure. Um, you know, I think also it's

184
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:30,320
Speaker 1: important to uh, you know, learn from your mistakes, but

185
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: not to let them, you know, affect that uh you know,

186
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,200
Speaker 1: affect any uh you know, your your aggression or you know,

187
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: the opportunity to make some of those plays. And you know,

188
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: I don't think I have. I think I've uh you know,

189
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,560
Speaker 1: taken them when they've when they've been there, and you know,

190
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:51,520
Speaker 1: I'll continue to improve with that. Thank you And two

191
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:55,480
Speaker 1: more or two quick ones, Pat and arn't Pat Daniel.

192
00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: What do you think it is that makes Sterling Shepherd

193
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:03,559
Speaker 1: as reliable as he is when he is in the lineup? Um,

194
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: I think it's, you know, a combination a lot of things.

195
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: I think his his physical tools are uh you know,

196
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 1: he's an extremely explosive guy. He's good and out of cuts.

197
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: I think he's as good a route runners as there

198
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 1: is in the league. Um, you know, you know with

199
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,520
Speaker 1: what he can do getting open and then and then

200
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: catching the ball. So, um, you know you can trust

201
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,280
Speaker 1: him to separate from guys and uh, you know he's

202
00:10:28,280 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 1: a he's a tough guy to cover one on one.

203
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:37,960
Speaker 1: Thanks last one here, Art, Hey Daniel. I know you guys, uh,

204
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, are focused one game at a time, but

205
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: when you you think about the standings every week, rare

206
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 1: for a team to be at one in five and

207
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: still have a shot in a division even this early

208
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: in the season. Is that factor in for you guys

209
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: at all? Is there any talk in the locker room

210
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: in terms of the significance of this game and and

211
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: how things are kind of all they're all bunched up

212
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,920

214
