1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go catch catch the game. Excited to 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: see those guys play. So uh yeah, I heard a 3 00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:11,879 Speaker 1: lot about him. Who you got I gonta know. I'm saying, 4 00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: who are you going to game with? Taking any teammates? Um, 5 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: going with my family? Yeah, so I think some some 6 00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,720 Speaker 1: guys are going, but we'll probably see each other there. 7 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: How do you feel about where the offense is at 8 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the bye week? Uh? Yeah, I think, um, 9 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, it feels good to get a win on Sunday. 10 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,320 Speaker 1: I think that was important for us, UM to be 11 00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,280 Speaker 1: able to run the ball like we did and kind 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 1: of control the line of scrimmage. I think the guys 13 00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:44,520 Speaker 1: up front did did a great job with that. So 14 00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean I think UM, overall, we've played 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: games differently based on the opponent, based on UM kind 16 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:56,640 Speaker 1: of what the opportunity is, and I think that's encouraging 17 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 1: that we can do different things as a group. We 18 00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: have a lot of guys who can make play, so UM, 19 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, continue to work on that, continue to work 20 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 1: through the stuff we need to correct. But um, you know, 21 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: I think, uh, we've got a good group and and 22 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:16,039 Speaker 1: uh excited for the rest of the season, Daniel, how 23 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,119 Speaker 1: much as you guys have gone game to game and 24 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: kind of changed your offense to fit your opponent in 25 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: the game plan? How much input like unique input have 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:25,880 Speaker 1: you been giving or are you allowed to give on 27 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,080 Speaker 1: making suggestions like let's add something we haven't done all season, 28 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: but I think this can work? Like how much of 29 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:36,280 Speaker 1: that have you done? Um? Yeah, here and there? I think, Um, 30 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, I'm uh a player in my third year 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: versus you know, coaches who have been around the game 32 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: a lot longer than me seen a lot so um, 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,760 Speaker 1: you know, I feel like there's times I can give 34 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: my input and kind of what I think. But um, 35 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: you know, we're it's always a conversation. We're always talking 36 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,920 Speaker 1: about it. But um, you know, most of the game 37 00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:59,640 Speaker 1: plan comes from the coaches and what they see, and 38 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I think they've done a great job that there were 39 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: certain he'd have a meeting with the coaches on Friday 40 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,920 Speaker 1: or something he said needs are the throws uncomfortable with? 41 00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 1: Is that something you do? Uh? Yeah, Me and uh 42 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: Coach Garrett talk on Fridays and kind of go through 43 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,320 Speaker 1: the call sheet, how we see it, what plays we like, 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 1: what plays we don't like. Um, and uh you know, 45 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: I let him know based on the week of practice, 46 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: based on you know, film study obviously with what you 47 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 1: like going in the game, I'm sure you saw a 48 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 1: Seguan opening up out there and running pretty fast and 49 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: looking pretty good. What did you think of how do 50 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 1: you look? Uh? Yeah, I was actually uh inside kind 51 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,120 Speaker 1: of doing some recovery stuff, so, um, you know, but 52 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: talking to him, I think he's, uh you know, I 53 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: know he's working hard and doing everything you can to 54 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 1: to get back. So um yeah, he's uh been doing 55 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,320 Speaker 1: good thing. Which your self assessment for the first half 56 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: of the season on yourself, I'm talking about it. Yeah, 57 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: I think, Um, overall, I think, uh, you know a 58 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:07,880 Speaker 1: lot of things I wanted to do better. Um you know, 59 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: I think I've done some of them, and and that's 60 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: been encouraging. I think, um, you know, at times I 61 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: can uh you know, be better protecting the ball and 62 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 1: getting it out quicker. I think those are you know, 63 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,519 Speaker 1: things I'm always focused on. So just being being more 64 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: consistent with that and um, you know, continuing to to 65 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:31,040 Speaker 1: work to improve. Do you feel like, um, getting healthy 66 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,440 Speaker 1: it's the most important thing that this team can do 67 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200 Speaker 1: this bye week? Yeah, I think that's a big part 68 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: of it. Uh certainly, Um you know, we've dealt with 69 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: a number of injuries, and uh you know, this gives 70 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: us a chance to for guys to to work to 71 00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: get back, you know, and and uh you know, you 72 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 1: never know what's gonna happen, but I know guys are 73 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: working hard, like we said, to get back. So I 74 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: gotta take a man until the time. And to think 75 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: that Kwang us back, Kenny and and and Cadarius and 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 1: and Chip and Everybody's back, that suddenly you guys become 77 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:12,000 Speaker 1: the Rams, I mean, is that going too far? Um, 78 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. We're not focused on being anybody else 79 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 1: or uh you know, yeah, we're we Uh we are 80 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,760 Speaker 1: who who you know we are and who we've practiced 81 00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: to be, who we've shown to be and and uh 82 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,239 Speaker 1: you know, I think you know you mentioned some guys 83 00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,360 Speaker 1: getting some guys back there are big time players for us. 84 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: So um, you know, we'll continue to to work and 85 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: game plan and uh you know, work to improve every week. 86 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,359 Speaker 1: But um, you know, there's certainly some some different biker 87 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: difference makers in that group. But how those guys back there, 88 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:47,320 Speaker 1: does it make defenses react differently? In the sense that 89 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 1: if you only had Chip on the field, couldn't they 90 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:54,920 Speaker 1: double him all the time and limit your options? Uh? Yeah, 91 00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 1: I mean I think the more yeah, the more guys 92 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 1: you have like that, the harder is on it on 93 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: a defense. But um, I think, you know, like like 94 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,799 Speaker 1: I've said, like we've said, the guys who have stepped 95 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: up have done done a great job for us. And 96 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: I played played really well a key spot. So um, 97 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,200 Speaker 1: you know, we'll continue to to work that and we 98 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:18,280 Speaker 1: work through that and uh, you know, play with who 99 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: we've gone. You've obviously that the best time going to 100 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 1: see a hartful career there. We wanted to game two 101 00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,000 Speaker 1: years ago. Did you save the ball from that game 102 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago? Do you have anything from 103 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 1: that game? Naive? Um, I don't know if I have 104 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:37,799 Speaker 1: the I don't know if I saved the ball or not. Yeah, 105 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know. I don't remember. I think 106 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: had of my jersey though, what do you remember that game? 107 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: Like that sticks that to you? But three years later, Um, 108 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: I don't. I think just that that second half, you know, 109 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: first half obviously it wasn't great. Uh, we did a 110 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: couple of things, but um, you know, the second half 111 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:04,160 Speaker 1: and and kind of just catching rhythm making plays, um, 112 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 1: you know, and and uh, you know, the final drive 113 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: I think was was the thing I'll remember the most. 114 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,080 Speaker 1: Totally changed the tone the game against them last year. 115 00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: But that's sort of like a low point for you personally. 116 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 1: UM yeah, we wouldn't. It wasn't a great game, uh 117 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 1: for sure, and definitely things that could have done better, 118 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 1: things I learned from, um whether it was the low 119 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,320 Speaker 1: point and I don't know, but um yeah, that you know, 120 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: I gotta uh, I think protecting the ball was bigging 121 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720 Speaker 1: that game, and we didn't do that great change after 122 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,440 Speaker 1: the gain. You really cut back on the tournau. I 123 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: don't mine right there that's where I started. But for that, 124 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: I think there were several key plays in that game 125 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: I learned from and mistakes um that we talked about 126 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,719 Speaker 1: not making anymore, and you know that we're UM yeah, 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 1: I think so that that that was an important game 128 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: from a learning standpoint, and protecting the ball started one 129 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: in seven last year, put something to gather in the 130 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 1: second half and played meaningful games all the way up 131 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,080 Speaker 1: until the end. Does that did that help this year 132 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,719 Speaker 1: when you guys were one in five and kind of 133 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 1: staying focused on there's still a lot to play for 134 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: because now I look up one, two out of three 135 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 1: and that's all it took to get back into the 136 00:07:14,440 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: idea where you guys could be in the playoff one. 137 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I think, um, you know, obviously a lot 138 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,920 Speaker 1: of guys around uh here this year from last year 139 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,320 Speaker 1: and kind of leaning on some of that experience. But um, 140 00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: I think it's just a credit to guys staying focused 141 00:07:32,560 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: on on one weekend of time and making sure we're 142 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: locked into what we're doing and to to prepare that week. 143 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,720 Speaker 1: And um, you know that's the approach we gotta take 144 00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,800 Speaker 1: going into Tampa as well. Kind of focus on on 145 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: what we're doing and um, you know, not get outside 146 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 1: of that and not try to see a bigger picture, 147 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: but the focus on preparing that week. Person next a 148 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 1: few days. I know you have another practice again tomorrow, 149 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,480 Speaker 1: but like, do you want to just take time completely 150 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: away or you still come in and work Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, 151 00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 1: Like what's your approach to that. I'll take a little 152 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 1: bit of time. Let's take a little bit time away. 153 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 1: I'll try to get it get ahead of um here 154 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,080 Speaker 1: early in the week and and look at some of 155 00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: the Tampa stuff. But um, you know, as we get 156 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: to the weekend, I take some time away and we'll accolutely. 157 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,560 Speaker 1: Do you do any like coaching time with the pole 158 00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:23,160 Speaker 1: a self scudding? Do you do that? Do you look 159 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: back at the first nine years? Yeah, we've started that. 160 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: I think that was, you know, a big part of 161 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: today and we'll continue to be tomorrow. So yeah, looking 162 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,880 Speaker 1: at that, looking at um, you know, myself and from 163 00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: what I can do better Daniel, when you were in 164 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,040 Speaker 1: high school, college, developing, Like how much work does it 165 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,839 Speaker 1: take to when you know you're about to get hit 166 00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: still step into the throw? Like how much do you 167 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 1: have to train your mind to do that? Is that 168 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,560 Speaker 1: something that you've always been good at, like stepping into 169 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 1: it even though you know you're taking a shot. Um, Yeah, 170 00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 1: I mean I think that's part part of the job. 171 00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,839 Speaker 1: I think it's easier to do it when you know 172 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:03,600 Speaker 1: someone's gonna be open and you're kind of you know, 173 00:09:03,640 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: waiting for the last possible second to make a throw. 174 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: But um, that's part of part of uh. Part of 175 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 1: it is being able to do that, being able to 176 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: know what's coming and deliver an accurate bool. So um, 177 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: you know the the guys on the other side are 178 00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:20,959 Speaker 1: good in this league, and you know, good at getting 179 00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,760 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks. You've gotta be able to do that.
