1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,320
Speaker 1: How did you do quarterback? Looks so far, he looks good.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,880
Speaker 1: He's had a good week, he said. He's always always

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: has a good look in his eye, and um, you

4
00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:13,400
Speaker 1: know he's Um. He's been great for me as a

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: coach to be around. I've learned a lot from him

6
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: and look forward to watching watching him on Monday night.

7
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 1: He's never had to do this before and whatever his

8
00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: six seven weeks or anyways, I guess of sitting around

9
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:28,159
Speaker 1: watching Yeah, what's the challenge for him to do? I

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: don't really think there is one. I mean it's just um,

11
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, uh, because obviously he's practiced every day. He

12
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: got himself ready mentally and physically, and um, just a

13
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,680
Speaker 1: matter of getting back out there and you know we're

14
00:00:42,680 --> 00:00:45,479
Speaker 1: gonna be on the road obviously, and so the the

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: just a communication probably more so maybe UM hadn't done

16
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: that in a while. But other than that, I was

17
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 1: Daniel handled this week. That guy he doesn't want to

18
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: be on the sideline. Yeah, he's been UM, you know,

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: obviously he wants to play, UM, and he's he's upset

20
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: that you know, he's hurting and uh probably probably won't

21
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,680
Speaker 1: but um, you know, he also he's you know he

22
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 1: you know, we talked, We talked to him aout, Hey,

23
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 1: let's get as healthy, get healthy as fast as you can. Um.

24
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, you know, prepare this week just

25
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: like you're gonna play you So, but he's been good.

26
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: We've got great guys in that room. Like I said,

27
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 1: all you long tap during the game. So obviously know

28
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: he was hurting that and everything that he expressed you

29
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,679
Speaker 1: how much pain he was in or well, you know,

30
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: we kind of watched like everybody else watched, um and

31
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 1: uh you know he's he's very quiet. Uh so and

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 1: the fact that he's quiet and he's new, it's kind

33
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: of hard to d on a lot of things to

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: get to know. But you know, he's he's we watched

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: him in college play with some some tough injuries and

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,280
Speaker 1: get back early. So he's he's a tough guy and

37
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: he's a quick healer from what I've learned before what

38
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: I've seen, folks, do you think he is the building? Yeah? Man,

39
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 1: I leave that up to I just listened to the

40
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: trainers are weak listened. We do not mean what James

41
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: isn't to play Dame mm hmmm. Just like coach said,

42
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: very few things you know might not you know, have

43
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: him running the ball like we did, you know Daniel

44
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: on the one, but um, other than that, really nothing

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: both you know, Eli obviously knows our offense so well.

46
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: Uh and Daniel was really doing a good job of

47
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,079
Speaker 1: even when he wasn't playing just a you know, we've

48
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: given him probably more than we've given any other rookie

49
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: as far as um volume, uh, you know, putting things

50
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: on his shoulders more so than other rookie quarterbacks. Do

51
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: you believe that time off could help a rookie quarterback

52
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,080
Speaker 1: sitting and watching for a week. I believe playing really

53
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: is the best way to uh continue to learn. But

54
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: I think you can learn in all areas. Um, so

55
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: when he'll take full advantage of that. About for Eli

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: to sitting, so to speak, what kind of effect do

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: you think that will have on him? It's never done

58
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 1: that before. Yeah, I don't really think so. I don't

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,240
Speaker 1: I don't think it won't be I just think it's

60
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,800
Speaker 1: just gonna it's a matter of getting back out there

61
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: and getting that first snap and going and um, you know,

62
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: it's kind of like probably the same thing question you

63
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: would ask me if we've taken a break from training

64
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: camp or from the end of O T A S

65
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: the training camp, that type of thing. So, but, like

66
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, probably being on the road, the

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: communication making sure we're really really detailed and loud and

68
00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: clear and things like that, it's like you're finally going

69
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: to have all your receivers with the old newman even

70
00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: I haven't, like we're coming back. How do you see

71
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: that playing out? And then Darius Clayton sort of beating

72
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: in those guys. Yeah, I think it's I think what

73
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: it does is it allows us to not necessarily um

74
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: you know, gold and feature one guy or just I

75
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: think it it presents, hopefully for the defense, it presents

76
00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: um a group a personnel grouping of hey, we you know,

77
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: we gotta be careful here, because if we focus our

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:11,000
Speaker 1: attention on this guy we're giving, you know, then then

79
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: we got a one on one on that side. Or

80
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: if we try to go split safety um too deep

81
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: shell where we're trying to unbrella coverage or we're trying

82
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,360
Speaker 1: to help out and cover now we've got to be

83
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 1: careful about take on running the ball. So but hopefully

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,479
Speaker 1: that's what it presents, you know, That's obviously why they're

85
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 1: here and what we're trying to do offensively. But it's

86
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 1: a matter of us more so than anything else, just

87
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 1: executing what we got and guys making plays when it's

88
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:36,200
Speaker 1: their turn. We're gonna have some one on ones. We

89
00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: gotta win the one on ones, just like every coach

90
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: tells every player every week, and then take advantage of

91
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,120
Speaker 1: of any kind of looks that that they might give us.

92
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: I just think that I don't think um, I don't

93
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: think so. I mean, sometimes it might happen during the

94
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: natural course of a game, but um, you know, I

95
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: just think, you know, for the quarterbacks, I think it's

96
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: helpful that we have all our guys because now you

97
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 1: don't worry about um you just kind of you go

98
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 1: through your reads and find the one on one where

99
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,880
Speaker 1: the guys aren't being where you find the find the

100
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 1: zone areas where guys aren't you know, favoring that side,

101
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: things like that, and you can keep it balanced, you know,

102
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 1: try to keep balance across the field. That's Cayden Smith John. Uh, yeah,

103
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: he's done a good job each week getting better. Um

104
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,720
Speaker 1: he's uh still learning the offense and all of the

105
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: he knows the offense. He's a smart guy, but just

106
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: all the kind of little adjustments that you make last

107
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: minute or just coverage tweaks or things that the quarterbacks

108
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: might be looking for. I think he's, uh, you know,

109
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,440
Speaker 1: from what we've seen, just can continue to get better

110
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: and um, he's proven he can make some plays, uh

111
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: and catch and catch the ball and make contested catches

112
00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: and hold onto it. So hopefully you'll stay on that

113
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: on that trend,
