1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: Damn. Talk about the challenge Dallas defense. Yeah, um yeah,

2
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: they're they're good defense. They're fast and physical, Um, good

3
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: pass fresh up front, and good players in the back end.

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:18,320
Speaker 1: They're smart, um, you know, instinctive and uh take a

5
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:20,639
Speaker 1: lot of plays. So we'll have a plan for it.

6
00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: We're confidently and our readers to attack. Daniel. What does

7
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: this opportunity need to play Thanksgiving against the Cowboys in

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: Dallas for for you national TV. Yeah, I think it's

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: a huge opportunity for us. It's a divisional game, uh

10
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,959
Speaker 1: against the rival and and on Thanksgiving, so huge game,

11
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 1: huge opportunity for us. And um, you know we've got

12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 1: to go out and and uh player best ball play

13
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,800
Speaker 1: as well as we can and um, you know see

14
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 1: how I go you know, how do you handle it? Him?

15
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 1: Combat the ever Republic. There were players that have kind

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: of been coming in and out of receiver and tight

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: into things like that because andrews Um, yeah, I mean

18
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 1: I think those guys who've stepped in, I've done a

19
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:04,920
Speaker 1: great job, uh you know, learning what they have to

20
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 1: to to get up to speed and catch up and

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: then step in and making a lot of plays. So

22
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,720
Speaker 1: I've got a lot of confidence in uh and our

23
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: guys and and those groups, and um, they've done a

24
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 1: great job all year. How important is it for this

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: team to bounce back quickly here, Daniel, I think it's

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: extremely important. I think, um, you know, throughout the year,

27
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: we've you know, shown ourselves as a resilient group, a

28
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,960
Speaker 1: tough group mentally and physically, and this is an opportunity

29
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: to show that for us. So we're excited for it

30
00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: and we're looking forward to get down there. Anyway, the

31
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: last week's games, do you did you feel like, other

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: than the two picks, that you had played a pretty

33
00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,200
Speaker 1: good game? Uh, maybe one of your better ones except

34
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: for I mean obviously those that takes a lot away,

35
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 1: but um, yeah, I mean I think anytime you turn

36
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: the ball over twice, it's it's tough to say, uh,

37
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,480
Speaker 1: you played well. So I think that's the That's the

38
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is taking care of the ball

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: and making sure we're avoiding uh those situations and not

40
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: putting our defense in a bad in a bad spot,

41
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: uh go on the field, so um, you know, looking

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: to clean up those things certainly and avoid making those mistakes.

43
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: Would use it. That makes to Michael Carson's such a

44
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: threat force out there. Look at it from a quarterbacks perspective, UM,

45
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I think his athleticism and speed and strength, um,

46
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: and just how hard he plays. I think how hard

47
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,920
Speaker 1: he rushes and how hard he runs to the ball,

48
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: and you know, he always seems to put himself in

49
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 1: a position to make a play. Uh. With those things,

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: when you have a lot of injuries that impact the

51
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: people around you, how difficult was that for a quarterback

52
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,040
Speaker 1: to adjust to new faces on the flies? That is

53
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: that something that's challenging you'd have to deal with? Um?

54
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it can be in certain situations.

55
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: But like I said earlier, I think our guys have

56
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: done done a really good job stepping in knowing what

57
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,640
Speaker 1: to do, um, you know, getting on the same page

58
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,600
Speaker 1: and then going out and executing. So I think our

59
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 1: coach have done a good job getting everyone up to speed,

60
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 1: helping everyone learn what they need to learn, and then UM,

61
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: you know, when guys have gotten out there, they've made play.

62
00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: So I think it can be. But in our situation,

63
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 1: guys done done a really good job in this box.

64
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: Is there a challenges? Obviously the wide receiver has been

65
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: on a big focus because you've lost so many But

66
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: is there also a challenge of rotating offensive line the

67
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: shuffles they've made there, and what's that challenge for you?

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I think it can be a challenge also, Um,

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: you know those guys up front and just uh, you know,

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: getting on the same page as far as protection, identification

71
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: and how they communicate up front, getting everyone on the

72
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 1: same page. And um, yeah, we've had a good, good

73
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: week so far of of practice and communicating those those

74
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: things and getting on the same page. So um, guys

75
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: done a good job, Danniel short week injuries piling up.

76
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: How big of a challenge is this against the Dallas

77
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: team that's really improving right now? Uh? Yeah, I mean

78
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: it certainly is certainly is a challenge, but I think

79
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 1: it's uh it's also a great opportunity for us to

80
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: uh to show who we are so what we can do, uh,

81
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: you know, our toughness and and uh you know, we're

82
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: looking forward to going out there and playing playing really

83
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: good football. So that's uh, that's where our focus is.

84
00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: You're both seven and three, but if you listen to

85
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: people talk about it, you'd be you know it It's

86
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: almost like you're on liting different levels. Especially they're coming

87
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 1: off to this big win and you're coming off that,

88
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 1: you know, the loss. Do you guys even notice that

89
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,839
Speaker 1: or how do you guys even make sense to that?

90
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: And we can hear that an outsider, Um, that's I

91
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: don't you know? That's certainly not something we're focused on

92
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: as a team. I think, um, you know, we're we're

93
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,680
Speaker 1: our focus is to prepare as well as we can,

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: to play as well as we can, and that's what

95
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:50,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna do. We're confident in our ability to to

96
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: uh to win games, to to compete and and uh

97
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: find a way to make the play down the stretch

98
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: to win the game. So that's what we're focused on.

99
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: Focused on ourselves. Will have a plan for them and

100
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: what they do, but focus on ourselves. When you look

101
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: at the kind of playmakers they have and to get

102
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: the sides, just the kind of game where your athleticism

103
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 1: and mobility could be a UM yeah, I mean I

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: think it can be. I think it. Uh, you know,

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,200
Speaker 1: we're get a sense for the game and how they're planning,

106
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: what their plan is and and adjust. But I think

107
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 1: you look at the first game and that was certainly

108
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: a part of it. So, um, we'll see the defensive key.

109
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 1: So kind always say, Kuan in the rooms, the best

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: way to get them out of that to use your

111
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: mobility and your legs, because that's the best way to

112
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: kind of stretch them out out of your eyes elsewhere.

113
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,040
Speaker 1: So it opens up. Uh yeah, I mean I think, uh,

114
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think there's there's several layers to that

115
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: kind of situation. Is to you know, how they're stopping

116
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: say Quan, what they're doing to stop him, and then um,

117
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: you know, depending on what that is, certain opportunities to

118
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: prevent present themselves. So I think you need to be

119
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,800
Speaker 1: a little more specific about what exactly the plan is.

120
00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: But um, there's a lot of things that are that

121
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: are opened up off of off of Sakelon and how

122
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: well he's playing. Obviously, you know, I guess I always

123
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: want to run it. But against this defense, with the

124
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,799
Speaker 1: way they arrested pastors wilcomeing more of a focus something

125
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,280
Speaker 1: that you have to have in order to be successful

126
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:18,200
Speaker 1: against his defense. Um, I mean, I think we're confident

127
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: in our ability to to run the ball into and

128
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,040
Speaker 1: to throw the ball and and uh a lot of

129
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: credit to their pass rush and are good up front,

130
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: but um, we'll try to try to do what we do.

131
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: Uh from a run game standpoint in a passenger city,

132
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:36,160
Speaker 1: would you be okay if Michael was less Uh? Yeah,

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: I mean we're, like I said, we're not really focused

134
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: on them, and uh, you know, we'll play as well

135
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,720
Speaker 1: as we can and control we can. Do you have

136
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: any Thanksgiving football memories. I've never played on Thanksgiving, not

137
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: even in high school. Not even in high school. Watched

138
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,679
Speaker 1: a lot of Thanksgiving games obviously, but first time playing

139
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: him excited,
