1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Can you just talk a little bit about you have

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,440
Speaker 1: a new title added to your offense coordinator title, what

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 1: that means to you, what different responsibilities you have, and

4
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: what discussions have you had with Brian as far as

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: you know, calling the plays on offense this season.

6
00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's certainly an honor to have that title.

7
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:21,639
Speaker 2: I don't take it lightly. You know, some of the

8
00:00:21,640 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 2: responsibilities I've done with with Daves and going through the

9
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,240
Speaker 2: off season. Number one, kind of being a part a

10
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,800
Speaker 2: little bit more of the interview process. You know, we've

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 2: hired some some new coaches and new staff around the building.

12
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 2: So being a part of that, how that the interworkings

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,919
Speaker 2: of those kind of decisions happened, and then sending in

14
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: on building out this this offseason, so send on the planning,

15
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 2: listen to some our health department work through our injury

16
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 2: guys and their progress and how they're going to build

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,839
Speaker 2: that into our off season program. That has been really

18
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: cool to kind of be a part of really the

19
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,959
Speaker 2: backbone on how we're gonna we're gonna do this thing.

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: What about the play calling, I mean, you know, you

21
00:00:59,280 --> 00:01:01,680
Speaker 1: came back obviously something I would assume you want to

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 1: do and wear you with that.

23
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean every year, every year is different and

24
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: you got to go through the evaluation process and this

25
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: year is no different. I mean we're in day one

26
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: to phase one, so there's a long time to go.

27
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,399
Speaker 2: But you know, I'm excited and I'm excited in my

28
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 2: role and do whatever we can do to get better

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: each day.

30
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 3: Thanks. Thank you, Hidi China, Hi, Mike, how are you?

31
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 4: Hi?

32
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,680
Speaker 3: How are you theod Congratulations on your promotion.

33
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,559
Speaker 2: Thank you, Mike.

34
00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:32,000
Speaker 3: I'm kind of curious about something. You know, when you

35
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 3: have a quarterback like Daniel Jones' injury history, I know

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,560
Speaker 3: that you can't coach scared. I know you have to

37
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 3: plan accordingly, you do what you want to. But that

38
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 3: being said, he is coming off the ACL, he does

39
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,760
Speaker 3: have the two neck injuries. How much does that type

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: of injury history factor into how you construct the offense

41
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 3: moving forward?

42
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 2: Listen, Daniel's a tough kid, and I know he's going

43
00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 2: through all his rehab right now. He's attacking that thing.

44
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: It's been cool. I see him in here every single day,

45
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 2: were and his butt off to get right. But I

46
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 2: think when you when you talk about like one specific

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 2: person on offense, it's never about just one specific person.

48
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 2: It's an eleven man operation, so everyone you got to

49
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 2: take into account everyone's ability, where everyone's at, and then

50
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 2: you try to build a build an offense around all

51
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,480
Speaker 2: the players and playmakers that you have. So that's what

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: we're doing right now where we're really like we've we've

53
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,840
Speaker 2: really dug into that this offseason as a staff, and

54
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 2: you know, as we continue to go through this process.

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:29,239
Speaker 2: You know, we just finished up free agency going into

56
00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: the draft, adding some players there as well, So it's

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,280
Speaker 2: going to be an ongoing process till we get the

58
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: training camp and into the season.

59
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 3: So in terms of Daniel though, you know, Hicks running

60
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,119
Speaker 3: ability is a big part of what you have done

61
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 3: in the past, So do you maybe look to shift

62
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 3: some of that away from him while he's recovering or

63
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 3: until you have a better feel for how well he's

64
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 3: going to respond in those situations.

65
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll just we'll just have open lines of communication

66
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: with Daniel and and all the players. You know, you

67
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 2: want to you want to be able to gauge all

68
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 2: of them, but we'll see whe they're at, see what

69
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 2: his comfortability is on those and we'll you know, we'll

70
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 2: put together a game plan or our own offense. You

71
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 2: know that we feel really good about. Thank you.

72
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 5: M Jones.

73
00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: Hey, right, how are you?

74
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: I Cam? What is it like to know that you

75
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:21,519
Speaker 2: won't have Barclay Well, first and foremost, I mean, Saquon's

76
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 2: a hell a player, he a person. You know, I

77
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 2: was very lucky to be around him here for the

78
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 2: for the couple of years, and I wish him nothing

79
00:03:28,760 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 2: but the best. I think, you know where we're at

80
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 2: right now. We're in day one, so we have a

81
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: lot of new players that have come in. We're trying

82
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: to get introduction and trying to you know, get them

83
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: into our program and how we want to run our

84
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: offense and just kind of just start from you know,

85
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 2: build it from day one on and create trust and

86
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: create some energy within the offense. And so these new

87
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: guys are coming in and some of the guys that

88
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: we had last year as well, they're building on that.

89
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 2: So we got a lot right now as an offense

90
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:57,040
Speaker 2: that we're working through. And you know, Saquon was was

91
00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 2: great for us, and he's a great player, and again

92
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,600
Speaker 2: I wish nothing but the best. But right now we're

93
00:04:02,640 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 2: moving on to what we have to get accomplished and that's,

94
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 2: you know, getting our guys together and working towards our goals.

95
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 3: And what's it like to be the one coordinator who

96
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 3: is still with this with the Giants.

97
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:16,599
Speaker 2: You know, I haven't really thought about that. I'm just

98
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: I'm lucky. I'm happy to be here. I'm lucky to

99
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 2: be here, and you know, I'm looking forward to to

100
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:21,799
Speaker 2: get after the soft season.

101
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:23,360
Speaker 3: Thank you man.

102
00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 4: Thanks Dan Dougan.

103
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 6: Hey, Mike Paul asked you about your expectations for playing

104
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 6: come on going full board, but we haven't talked to

105
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 6: you since the end of the Season's curious. What was

106
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,720
Speaker 6: your reaction the times when I got taken away from

107
00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:37,480
Speaker 6: you last year?

108
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I don't know if that's been you know,

109
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 2: out there or anything. All I know is like last

110
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: year is last year, and there was a lot of

111
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 2: things we need to get better at, from coaches, players, everybody.

112
00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 2: We just got to improve. And so you know, I'm

113
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 2: not going to go too far into the past. I

114
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: kind of put that in my rear view. We've learned

115
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 2: from it, we've grown from it, and we're really excited

116
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 2: about Phase one, and today is the first day at

117
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: the start.

118
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,120
Speaker 6: And then different gears. You obviously were there in Kansas

119
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 6: City and work closely with Mahomes his rookie year. Just curiously,

120
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 6: what did you learn from that development process that you know,

121
00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 6: if you're in that position with a rookie quarterback, that

122
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:14,719
Speaker 6: you would apply.

123
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have you have to have a sense of urgency,

124
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 2: but there's also you know a sense of urgency in

125
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: and learning and helping him teach and having him learn

126
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: the offense and learn how to be a pro. But

127
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 2: you also have to have some patience with that as

128
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: well and understand that you know, whoever that player is,

129
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 2: it doesn't have to be just quarterback, but it's really

130
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: any rookie. You know, you try and you know, give

131
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: them bite sized pieces that they can really they can

132
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 2: hold and take with them. And now now that you

133
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,599
Speaker 2: can continue to build on those, on those lessons and

134
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: you know there's going to be some some opportunities for

135
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 2: growth and you know, you take that, you build on it,

136
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 2: and you just keep on stacking it each and every day,

137
00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 2: and that's how you that's how you really get to

138
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:54,479
Speaker 2: where you're you're you know your end goal.

139
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 3: Thanks Mike, Thanks Art Stapleton.

140
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 7: When you I know, I know last year was last year.

141
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,679
Speaker 7: But when you look at the offense as a whole,

142
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 7: and when you know what you guys went through, when

143
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 7: you look at this year, what are some of your

144
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 7: key points that you look at and you say, you

145
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,160
Speaker 7: know what, these these are things we really have to

146
00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 7: change in order to be better than what we were

147
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 7: last year.

148
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really an ongoing process. I think, you know,

149
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 2: you look at we have to limit it. We have

150
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 2: to be able to protect the quarterback better, we have

151
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:31,040
Speaker 2: to be able to create more explosive plays, run the

152
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 2: football better. You know, there's some fundamental techniques things that

153
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,839
Speaker 2: we need to get cleaned up. So, I mean there's

154
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:38,720
Speaker 2: a lot and those are just to name a few

155
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 2: off the top of my head. But I really, I

156
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,600
Speaker 2: really believe we're in a good spot. You know, as

157
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 2: a staff, we're in a good spot mentally. And then

158
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, talking with the guys just today, we've been

159
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 2: in meetings here for about an hour and a half

160
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 2: and you know, seeing their energy and their attendantness to

161
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 2: go and learn to learn the system. And it's going

162
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:55,840
Speaker 2: to be an exciting offseason.

163
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,520
Speaker 7: I know you said, you know, you were happy to

164
00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 7: be here and you're anxious to get going there's a

165
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 7: lot of speculation. I know, and I know you don't

166
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:04,720
Speaker 7: want to look backwards, but how would you describe your

167
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 7: relationship with Dave's right now and where you guys are

168
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 7: at working together?

169
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I love working I love working with Daves.

170
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: I love working for days. It's been a collaborative process.

171
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: Have we've got all the results that we wanted each

172
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 2: and every day. Sure we want to go and win

173
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 2: every single game, but sometimes that that doesn't happen. And

174
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 2: so you know, we go through the ups and downs

175
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 2: of the season, and you know, we're all competitive, we

176
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: all want to win, and that's what I love about them.

177
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 2: Thanks man, Thank you.

178
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:35,440
Speaker 6: Charlotte Carrol, Hello, good You mentioned protection.

179
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,640
Speaker 5: You guys may a lot of additions to the OLNE

180
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 5: this offseason.

181
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:40,560
Speaker 6: What do you make of those and kind of your

182
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 6: early plans I guess for how that's going.

183
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:43,600
Speaker 5: To shake out.

184
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, So calm our new offensive line coach, and you

185
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 2: know we have we have, you know, a great room

186
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: and a great influx of some new players and some

187
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: veteran players, and so we're gonna We're gonna take the

188
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 2: veteran guys, we have the young guys, we have continue

189
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 2: to develop them and just continue to build in that room.

190
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: You know, I'm excited for that room. There's some car

191
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 2: comes from the you know, a similar system, so it's

192
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 2: there's some terminology that carries over. So we were able

193
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 2: to kind of get through that process a little bit

194
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: quicker than if it was you know, a coach that

195
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 2: didn't have, you know, as much of a background as

196
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: he has. So again we're excited. Charters do a hell

197
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 2: of a job and they're ready to roll in there

198
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: outspent all morning in that old line room.

199
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 5: What did you see in there if you were just in.

200
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 2: There to I mean, just just energy, you just felt it.

201
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: Guys asking great questions, creating that dialogue that we that

202
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 2: we're looking for, and coming together as a group. You know,

203
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: five guys playing as one.

204
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 3: We'll take two more.

205
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 5: Brian dun lady, Hey, Mike, thanks for doing this.

206
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: Oh thank you.

207
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,480
Speaker 5: After you interviewed with Seattle to be their head coach,

208
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,240
Speaker 5: they also requested an interview with you to be their

209
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:57,200
Speaker 5: offensive coordinator. Why do you think the Seahawks thought you

210
00:08:57,240 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 5: were interested in a lateral move? At were you interested

211
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,320
Speaker 5: in making a lateral move to somebody else's O?

212
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: Say?

213
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 2: I must have did a good job, but no, I

214
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: mean it was a great It was a great opportunity there.

215
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 2: I love the people there, Jody John. It was a

216
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:13,719
Speaker 2: great experience, but that's what it was. It was a

217
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,960
Speaker 2: great experience and I can carry that over into the future.

218
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,959
Speaker 5: But were you so were you interested in lateral moves

219
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 5: or only in the Giants?

220
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 2: No, I'm here. I'm excited to be here with the Giants.

221
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 5: And then, what do you make of this year's top

222
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 5: whatever it would be, first round we'll call it. What

223
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 5: do you make of this year's first round quarterback class?

224
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well, they're all a little bit different, but

225
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: I like the class. Smart guys. We've been able to

226
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 2: kind of meet them throughout the combine process, throughout this

227
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,319
Speaker 2: pre draft process. Really sharp guys with a lot of ability.

228
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 2: So I'm really excited about this group. It's gonna be cool.

229
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: You've been a player. Is that an awkward situation, Mike

230
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,200
Speaker 5: with Daniel do you have to address with him as

231
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 5: somebody who spends a lot of time with him, like, Hey,

232
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,520
Speaker 5: we're looking at quarterbacks or do you just ignore the

233
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 5: elephant the room?

234
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean we look at every position every season,

235
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,200
Speaker 2: every year, every draft. Probably you look at every you

236
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 2: look at every group every year. You're looking at quarterbacks,

237
00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 2: running backs, tight ends, o lineman. Where can you find

238
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 2: a way to make your team better, your offense better.

239
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 2: And I know, in my role, you know, I'm evaluating

240
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:17,760
Speaker 2: these guys and I'm giving all my information that I

241
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:20,680
Speaker 2: can to Joe and his staff and Daves so that

242
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: they can make the best decision for the team. And

243
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 2: so I think I'm not going to speak for Daniel,

244
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 2: but I think anytime you go into player acquisition, you're

245
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 2: trying to find the best player or best person for

246
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: the job. Thank you last one, join him or not?

247
00:10:37,840 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 3: Hey, Mike's going on.

248
00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:44,080
Speaker 4: I'm curious what do you look for and what's important

249
00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:47,360
Speaker 4: for you when you do go through that quarterback process. Like,

250
00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 4: I know a lot of people they need to see

251
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 4: them throw the you know, some coaches say like I

252
00:10:52,559 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 4: need to hear them throw kind of you know. So

253
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: what's when when you go through that what's important to you?

254
00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 2: There's a there's a lot of things that are important

255
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,680
Speaker 2: to me in a quarterback, you know, a leadership, just

256
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 2: that ability to kind of control a room, control a huddle,

257
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 2: that kind of it factor you look for that, and

258
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 2: you try to put those guys and the more you

259
00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: talk to them, the more you get comfortable with them.

260
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 2: A lot of times it's you know, the first time

261
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: you meet somebody, it's like he's maybe maybe one of

262
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 2: one of the other parties may not be as comfortable.

263
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 2: So you try to have these exposures with guys so

264
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,760
Speaker 2: that you can really kind of understand how they tick.

265
00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:30,040
Speaker 2: You want to understand kind of what fires them up

266
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: and what things maybe give them issues. So you have

267
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 2: a plan as a coach to build a guy up

268
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 2: and how you can kind of prevent maybe some we

269
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 2: week spots. You know, if they have a weakness and

270
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 2: I have a strength that can cover up his weakness

271
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: with my strength and vice versa. And so you know,

272
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 2: you try to find that in factor with the guy

273
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 2: that that you want to be around. You know that's

274
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 2: going to make the other guys better around him. And

275
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 2: whether it's the quarterback room or another position, some guys

276
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: just have that. I know we have that already in

277
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 2: our quarterback room with Daniel, with Drew, with Tommy. Those

278
00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 2: are guys that that command and do a hell of

279
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,959
Speaker 2: a job in the huddle and command kind of the

280
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: leadership of a team, and so you know, those are

281
00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 2: guys you want to you want to be around.

282
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 4: And I know you didn't you said you didn't really

283
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 4: want to rehash last year everything that kind of happened

284
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 4: back and forth. But offensively, it was a tough year

285
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 4: for you guys, especially the first half. What did you

286
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 4: learn about yourself as a coach.

287
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:22,600
Speaker 3: During that time?

288
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, resiliency. You know, it's it's never easy. You want

289
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 2: to continue and the and the players feel that too.

290
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:29,720
Speaker 2: You know, the players, they're all on and they're the

291
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,680
Speaker 2: ones you know, between the lines working it out, and

292
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:34,680
Speaker 2: so as a coach, we're all in this thing together.

293
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 2: So you want to continue to communicate, you want to

294
00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:40,280
Speaker 2: continue to try and solve problems whenever they come up.

295
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: And so it's you know what I what I What

296
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 2: I'm most proud of though, from that whole thing, was

297
00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:47,400
Speaker 2: how the players responded, you know, that last half of

298
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 2: the season when we had you know, we had a

299
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 2: bunch of injuries really throughout, a couple of different quarterbacks,

300
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 2: different players jumping in different roles, and I was really

301
00:12:55,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: proud to see those guys step up and really and

302
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 2: kind of dig down deep and and pull out some

303
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,280
Speaker 2: wins for us and that was really cool to see

304
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: and cool to be a part of. Although it wasn't

305
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,480
Speaker 2: the results we wanted, you know, it's something that we

306
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,840
Speaker 2: can learn from and grow from and have a better

307
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,679
Speaker 2: year this year.
