But other 41 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: than that would say nervous. I think just more excited 42 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:44,720 Speaker 1: and anxious. You describe the identity of this football team 43 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: or what we're gonna see in the regular season, Yeah, 44 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: I think, uh, I think we're trying to build a 45 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 1: teens bring it every play you know, no plays off, 46 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 1: you know, no days off.

I think that's 55 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 1: where we're preaching. You know, so many games are won 56 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 1: and lost by one score and situations, so try to 57 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 1: excel in that area and from there just take care 58 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,240 Speaker 1: of the football and gives a chance every week summer 59 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: Josh Daniels, what's your level of excitement that kind of 60 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: the three preseason games are out of the way for 61 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,800 Speaker 1: the next game is the you know, home of the 62 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: season opener.

That's the funnest part. 71 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 1: I think you're playing the position of trying to you'll 72 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,440 Speaker 1: see something in the film room on you know, Monday 73 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 1: or Tuesday, go out there and do in practice and 74 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,280 Speaker 1: executing the games.

So I think you do a lot of 101 00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 1: things well. So it's it's good for us to use him, 102 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: you know, as much as he's able to, you know, handle, 103 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: And I think it's excited to you know, get there 104 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 1: and you know, don't don't call footballs and and building 105 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,920 Speaker 1: the chemistry and practice. I think we've got to kind 106 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 1: of built it, you know here lately, and I think 107 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,600 Speaker 1: just kind of carry that into the season. Is there 108 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,919 Speaker 1: any pressure on you? He's the guy who obviously accomplished 109 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: a lot in his career. Yeah, there's any pressure on 110 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 1: us a young quarterback to make sure he gets the ball, 111 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 1: make sure he's feeling good about where. I wouldn't say pressure. 112 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,680 Speaker 1: I think he knows, you know, he knows the plays 113 00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 1: and always try to tell the guys, hey, if you've 114 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,520 Speaker 1: seen something, Hey, you know, give me something on the 115 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: sideline or something like that. But I'm gonna try to 116 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: throw the guys that open. If he's opened a lot, 117 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: then he'll get the ball a lot. So after the 118 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,560 Speaker 1: Minnesota game, after the first drive, he had a couple 119 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,240 Speaker 1: of over high you just say, I just came out 120 00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 1: of a little shoot stuff, you know, a little player though. Yeah, 121 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: do you have any strategies in mind for saying how 122 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,600 Speaker 1: can I get out there and just relax at the 123 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,680 Speaker 1: beginning years because it's not unique to you a lot 124 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: of guys. Yeah, I think just it's kind of like 125 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:02,960 Speaker 1: you know, back in the day playing basketball, kind of 126 00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: find a you'll find a layup before you start shooting 127 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 1: the threes. I think just whether it's a good run 128 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 1: or you know, with the guys up front and the 129 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: running backs, or maybe easy completion. But other than that, 130 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:16,360 Speaker 1: I think it's just uh, just getting out there, and 131 00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: I think that's part of it. I think it's whether 132 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: it's gonna be kind of the jitters or gonna be 133 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: fired up. That's more of what it is. Just to 134 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 1: kind of calm that. And I think kind of use 135 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: the guys around me as well. I think use the 136 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: guys around me to kind of feel like, hey, you 137 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 1: know if if if they're pumped up, I'm gonna get 138 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: little pumped up. But you know, when I get out there, 139 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 1: kind of be cool and calm and collected. I think 140 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: he's yeah, I'm sure that'd be great. Yeah, I'm sure 141 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:49,880 Speaker 1: that'd be great tomorrow. Have you detected any anxiousness in 142 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 1: the locker room or among the players as we approach 143 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 1: it tomorrow. Yeah, it's always a tough day. You know, 144 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 1: I really got to experience it, you know, one time 145 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 1: last year with the guys around the locker room. Obviously 146 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 1: you hear about it, and you know so many guys 147 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: out here that work their butts off that are kind 148 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: of you'll fight and crawling to make the team, and 149 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,400 Speaker 1: you know that, you know it's news that obviously they're 150 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: unfortunate for them and unfortunate for us who you'll build 151 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: a relationship with them. And I remember the rookies that 152 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,080 Speaker 1: felt like all those guys are with me and in 153 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,840 Speaker 1: training camp and you know, coming out of rookie Minnie 154 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,360 Speaker 1: camp and next thing, you know, like that, we got 155 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:23,400 Speaker 1: down at ten or twelve lookers in the locker room 156 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,080 Speaker 1: from thirty. So it was tough for me to you realize, 157 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:28,039 Speaker 1: that's the nature of the business. And then from there 158 00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: just to you'll pump those guys up if you know, 159 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,279 Speaker 1: you never know missing him again, you see, you know, 160 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: hasty back out here and guys like that, you never know. 161 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 1: The relationship's never over. And for those guys just another 162 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,600 Speaker 1: step in the journey. And then try to stay in 163 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: touch with them. So many details.
