1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: What did you see Daniel on Sunday? He looked very confident.

2
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 2: Fucking scrambled quite a lot too.

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 3: Yeah, he did, I think, a nice job distributing the football.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,239
Speaker 3: When opportunities came up, he stepped up and ran it

5
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 3: well as well. You know, I think it started up

6
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 3: front for him. The old line does a really nice

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 3: job protecting and calm those guys, and the skill guys

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:21,840
Speaker 3: complimented that as well.

9
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: It was one or two where you kind of maybe

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,680
Speaker 1: could have slid or went at a mound not taking

11
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 1: a hit. How much of his coaches are you telling

12
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 1: him to do that? And because I know that's a

13
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: fine line, because we want you to be aggressive, but

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 1: at the same time, hey, maybe don't take a hit

15
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 1: on this one.

16
00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,880
Speaker 3: Yeah. I think for Daniel, he's he's a football player.

17
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 3: I think he knows when he can be aggressive and

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 3: when he can get down and slide. I think he's

19
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 3: shown that over the course of his career. And you

20
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 3: always remind you it's just a good reminder as a coach,

21
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: you know, going in there and all right, if you

22
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 3: can take take a hit or not take a hit,

23
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 3: you know, don't do that. But he's been.

24
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 2: Smarted by him.

25
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 4: Mike, you you've probausly been around younger players, younger skill player.

26
00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 4: I'm thinking of Theo Johnson first. A couple of weeks

27
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 4: looks like you, you know, just maybe swimming a little bit,

28
00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,039
Speaker 4: growing pains. Is there a moment where you can actually see,

29
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 4: whether it's on the practice field or on tape, that

30
00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 4: the light goes on and you say, all right, you

31
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,559
Speaker 4: know he's now taking that next step to the point

32
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,639
Speaker 4: where he's not having those kind.

33
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 5: Of rookie issues.

34
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: That deal with maybe early on. Yeah, THEO is a

35
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 3: young player, and he's just continuing to grow each and

36
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 3: every day. You see it in the meeting rooms and

37
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,080
Speaker 3: he's getting more comfortable with it. You see it on

38
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: the practice field, and I think the more opportunities that

39
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: come his way, you know he's gonna make those plays.

40
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 3: And that's just it's really for any young players. You're

41
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 3: getting kind of into the what the NFL game is like,

42
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 3: you're getting more comfortable and more confident, and Theo's doing.

43
00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,200
Speaker 5: That, like as well as your receivers are playing particularly

44
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:51,400
Speaker 5: less week could out really there's been still some drop issues.

45
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 1: What what do you do too at that?

46
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 2: You know, you know with that what's.

47
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 3: I think it just always goes back to the fundamentals,

48
00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: you know, going back in practice and working on you know,

49
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 3: the catch point seeing it all the way into the tuck.

50
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 3: It's you know, you're talking to the quarterbacks about ball

51
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 3: placement all those things. So it's just the fundamentals, getting

52
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 3: everyone on the same page. But you know, we worked

53
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,639
Speaker 3: on that, you know yesterday, will continue to work on

54
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 3: that throughout the week.

55
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 4: I assume you had a feeling about how well Tracey

56
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 4: could play, But did he even surprise you with what

57
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 4: he did Sunday?

58
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: I don't think he surprised me. He's been he's been

59
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 3: putting in great work, you know, all through camp since

60
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 3: he's gotten here, really and and and he puts, you know,

61
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 3: a really good intent into into the meeting rooms and

62
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 3: on the practice field. He tries to be as detail

63
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 3: that he can be. And coach Thomas has done a

64
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,480
Speaker 3: nice job excuse me, gett him up to speed. And

65
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 3: so no, there's no surprise there. He's he's he's a

66
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: good player and this guy that we expect him to do.

67
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:45,679
Speaker 1: What he does.

68
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 5: Like obviously at the beginning of the game, you had

69
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 5: a lot of that quick Didversity has a great, great

70
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 5: drive down the field, And how deflating is.

71
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: That when you when that happens and I have a

72
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 2: follow up from that after that.

73
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 3: I wouldn't say it's a deflating is not the mindset

74
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: we've had, you know, it's something that's we have to

75
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 3: learn from and grow from. And obviously it's you don't

76
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: you don't want fumbles in general, especially you know at

77
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 3: the inch inch liner and all that. So you know,

78
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 3: we got to learn from that and we can have

79
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: those type of things. But I thought our mentality was good.

80
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 3: You know, that's that's that's a hard that's a hard

81
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 3: play to sometimes overcome. But we've had good leadership that

82
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:22,120
Speaker 3: that can overcome that.

83
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 5: So that was kind of where my follow was as

84
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 5: an assistant coach.

85
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: And you see the way Daves kind of handles things,

86
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 2: you know, even keel as he is, what have you

87
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 2: learned from from the way he does handle something like

88
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 2: that and there is no panic And like you said,

89
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 2: I mean that's probably as hard to turn around. You

90
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 2: know at the beginning he gave as you can get that.

91
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: We've we've had a few of those. I mean, the

92
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,000
Speaker 3: first play of the game was a fumble for you know,

93
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 3: big minus, but we overcame it. So you know, it

94
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 3: starts with Daves, you know, then it feeds through the coaches,

95
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 3: feeds through the players, feeds through the leadership of you know,

96
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: on the on the on our side of the offense.

97
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 3: And so that's a you know, it's a compliment to

98
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 3: Daves and what he's built around here with the culture

99
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 3: and how we're going to handle adversity as a unit.
