1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Now that we're in week one, curious how you're going 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: to manage the QBD reps in practice. 3 00:00:06,360 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 2: We'll have a walk through here today and focus on today, 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 2: and then as week goes on, you know, the backup quarterbacks, 5 00:00:15,040 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 2: we'll get a lot of reps on the look teams 6 00:00:17,040 --> 00:00:19,120 Speaker 2: and then we'll decide what we want to do on 7 00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: some of the periods. But we're full steam here on Washington. 8 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: In the past, you basically had the number two quarterback 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: take most of look team reps. So is that correct 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 1: and maybe kind of have to split that up a 11 00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,840 Speaker 1: little more that your plans that you're saying. 12 00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 2: We've done it in a variety of ways. So we'll do 13 00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: what we think is best for each week. 14 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,479 Speaker 1: And they say your full steam head of Washington. But 15 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: just this is the last time to really look back, 16 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: I guess on the preseason because we are in like 17 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 1: game mode with Jackson and the plan to develop, and 18 00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,919 Speaker 1: that obviously shifts to a different mode. Now when you 19 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:54,120 Speaker 1: were in the training camp of the preseason, you can 20 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: manipulate things. Was you focused more on building his confidence 21 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: or having him deal with adversity or is there balance there? 22 00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I appreciate the question. Dan, but we're we're 23 00:01:04,520 --> 00:01:08,280 Speaker 2: in a regular season here, so you know, it's all 24 00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: on Washington. 25 00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 3: All Twarth. 26 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 4: Hey, Brian, well excuse me. Obviously the proof could be 27 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,119 Speaker 4: in you know what we see on the roster. As 28 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,280 Speaker 4: far as asking you about your confidence and your your 29 00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 4: comfort level with your offensive line, I mean it's the 30 00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 4: same group basically, So can you speak to that a 31 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,040 Speaker 4: little bit? As far as what do you see from 32 00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 4: those five guys? You know, hopefully you know if Andrew 33 00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 4: Thomas is in there, and what you know, the fact 34 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 4: that you didn't make any moves, what does that say? 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: All those guys do a good job of communicating with 36 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 2: one another, have a lot of confidence, and all those 37 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: guys that play those spots, it's a collective effort. Offensively, 38 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,760 Speaker 2: it's not just on the offensive line, it's it's on 39 00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: all the positions, and we focused on playing good offense football. 40 00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 4: Do you think that a quarterback can make a big 41 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 4: difference in how an offensive line place and how it looks? 42 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's all it's it's on all eleven 43 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,560 Speaker 2: guys out there on every place. So we'll do what 44 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,880 Speaker 2: we think is, you know, the best for all of 45 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 2: our guys. I know, Our guys are going to compete 46 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 2: as hard as they can, but it's a you know, 47 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 2: offensive football is a collective, collective mindsets, everybody doing their 48 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 2: job at a high level at every position and any thing. 49 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,800 Speaker 4: On Andrew Thomas for Wednesday, do you have any thoughts 50 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 4: yet on what's going even today, what's going to happen 51 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 4: with him? 52 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're gonna have a walk through today and everybody 53 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 2: be out there participating. 54 00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 3: Thank you.

So whoever's 61 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 2: in there will be ready to play, I guess. 62 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,400 Speaker 1: So specifically, like you said, you liked what he's brought, 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000 Speaker 1: just as far as just filling in step, being that 64 00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: role and just holding it down, just you know, his 65 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 1: development from what is that what you expect out of. 66 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 5: Him from signing him? 67 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, No, he's he's a guy.

Have you know, offensive line is 70 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 2: you know, five collective guys seeing it through the same 71 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 2: set of eyes, or two tight ends, one tight end, 72 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 2: whatever it may be. So those guys are doing everything 73 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,240 Speaker 2: they can do each day to be as productive as 74 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 2: it can. 75 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: All right, thanks, yep, Brian's maybe. 76 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 3: Hey Brian, how are you right? Since you are on 77 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 3: to Washington week, have you decided who the number two 78 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:55,480 Speaker 3: quarterback on. 79 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 5: Game day will be? 80 00:03:57,280 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 4: Yeah? 81 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: Any roster decisions based on who's going to be the 82 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040 Speaker 2: backup or who this player is going to like, Well, 83 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: we'll have that out there on Sunday. 84 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:11,000 Speaker 3: So does that go for maybe starting positions, like have 85 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 3: you decided who your who won your right guarden, cornerback 86 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 3: two position battles? 87 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, we have a good idea of how we're going 88 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 2: to play ryn. 89 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:20,160 Speaker 6: With the players. 90 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,039 Speaker 3: You don't want to share who's the starter? 91 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, that'll all come out on Sunday, Okay. 92 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:31,640 Speaker 3: And then as far as Washington, the obviously a team 93 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: that was in the NFC Championship game last year. Uh, 94 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: I'm sure you guys, I know you're going to take 95 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 3: it one game at a time. I'm sure you guys 96 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 3: are naive to the fact they were in the NFC 97 00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: Championship game last year. Does that help in terms of 98 00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 3: getting their attention the idea that like, hey, maybe this 99 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 3: is a chance for us to like start hot, make 100 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 3: a statement, uh, you know whatever, whatever measuring. 101 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 4: Stick kind of game. 102 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, our focuses solely on this week on 103 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 2: Washington and their players and their schemes. And that's unique 104 00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 2: about the first game of the season. You don't know 105 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: you can study all the tape you want to study 106 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 2: from the previous year. Schematically, you know the players. That 107 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,840 Speaker 2: helps quite a bit strengths and weaknesses, but you know, 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 2: you don't know how they're going to play or what 109 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 2: they're going to do different. They've had a whole offseason 110 00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: to prepare and study and look at the things that 111 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: they think they can do well. So that's the first 112 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 2: game of the season every year is being able to 113 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 2: adjust and do the things you need to in game. 114 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 2: But no question, it's a good football team. They're well coached. 115 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 2: They improved their scoring offense by nine points a little 116 00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,880 Speaker 2: bit over nine points a game from the season prior 117 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: to that season, which is the biggest increase since twenty 118 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:53,000 Speaker 2: twenty of offensive teams, six come from back wins, you know, 119 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,640 Speaker 2: coming from behind, excellent special teams unit with three special 120 00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,919 Speaker 2: teams Aces and Reeves, Blore and Owens. And then a 121 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 2: defense that is very opportunistic, that plays fast and the 122 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: way I know coach Quinn likes to coach. So there's 123 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 2: a reason why they were in that game. Again, our 124 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 2: focus is on this year and doing the things we 125 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: need to do to be as good as we can be. 126 00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 3: And the last one for me is what do you 127 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 3: expect from Jadeen Daniels. You were around, obviously, Josh when 128 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,000 Speaker 3: he went from rookie to second year. We know you, 129 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 3: we know you were fond of Jaden Daniels as a rookie. 130 00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 3: What do you expect from him here as he starts 131 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:31,679 Speaker 3: his second year. 132 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,960 Speaker 2: Well, I just go off with the tape that I've watched. 133 00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:42,160 Speaker 2: He's a dynamic football player. He's accurate, he's good under pressure, 134 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 2: he's good in situations, he can bring his team from behind. 135 00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 2: He gives his players opportunities to make plays in the 136 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:52,279 Speaker 2: passing game, and he's unique in the running game the 137 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 2: way they utilize him. He's a tremendous football player. So 138 00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:58,920 Speaker 2: I expect to see a tremendous football player. 139 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:00,680 Speaker 3: Thank you. 140 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 2: Yep, I'm rock Brian div I know it's you guys 141 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: have only been together for a little bit now, but. 142 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: I'm talking about today. Is there a change at all 143 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: to how Russ comes into the building in a in 144 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:18,360 Speaker 1: a game week that. 145 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: You've noticed now? Russ is as consistent as they come. 146 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:28,840 Speaker 2: So his preparation in an O t A and preseason 147 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 2: and the training camp practice is at elite level. And 148 00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,400 Speaker 2: you know, I know he's been doing a lot of 149 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,520 Speaker 2: film work and I know that you know, he'll show 150 00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:42,120 Speaker 2: a lot of the young guys, you know, particularly in 151 00:07:42,160 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 2: the quarterback room, but you know, meeting with the skill 152 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 2: guys the offensive line. You know what it looks like 153 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 2: from his point of view, which is i'd say very 154 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: good at preparation. You know, he knows the league, he's 155 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 2: he's done it for a long time. But it's good 156 00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: to have a guy like that. 157 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 6: In the room. 158 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 1: We'll take two more. 159 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:09,080 Speaker 6: Greg Johnson, Hey, Bryan, I know you said you're on 160 00:08:09,280 --> 00:08:11,320 Speaker 6: this week, but I'm just curious when you reflect back 161 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 6: on the preseason in the summer, I mean, what what 162 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 6: ultimate were the factors that when we went into playing 163 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 6: your starters more of this preseason, and just I mean, 164 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 6: what's your confidence level? You guys can get off to 165 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 6: a better start here with that adjusted approach. 166 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, Greg, appreciate the question. Again, We're focused on this week, 167 00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:31,040 Speaker 2: not much what's happened were last month or last couple 168 00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,080 Speaker 2: of weeks. We got a good challenge ahead of us, 169 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,800 Speaker 2: a big challenge ahead of us. I guess, like what 170 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: Ryan said, a team that made it to the NFC 171 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,160 Speaker 2: Championship game last year and you know, played really good football. 172 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: So you know, our focus is on us doing the 173 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 2: things that we need to do to be as ready 174 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,480 Speaker 2: as we can be. Thank you. 175 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,000 Speaker 3: Last one are at stable Ting. 176 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:57,840 Speaker 5: Hey, Davis more k when when you talk, you talk 177 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 5: about how opportunistic the the defenses in Washington, and I'm 178 00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 5: just curious from an offensive perspective, obviously you guys have 179 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 5: talked turnovers versus takeaways, and how big of a difference 180 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 5: that is in the NFL. 181 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:14,080 Speaker 7: Has it changed through the years or does it just 182 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 7: become a constant finding that balance between not losing your aggressiveness, 183 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,640 Speaker 7: both as a quarterback and as you know, as play 184 00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880 Speaker 7: callers and just from mindset perspective. 185 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 3: But also being. 186 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,680 Speaker 5: Wary of knowing how that one big mistake can kind 187 00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 5: of swing everything in the other direction. 188 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's important for the players to be aggressive, 189 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 2: the play callers to be aggressive. There's a difference between 190 00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 2: being reckless and aggressive. And you really study how they 191 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: create the turnovers. What are the situations that you're in 192 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: that are prevalent in terms of taking the ball away, 193 00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: how they run to the football. They play with tremendous 194 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 2: speed and aggressiveness and do a great job of gang 195 00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: tackling and get the ball out. It's more of how 196 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 2: they generate the and overs art and the situations that 197 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 2: you're in as an offense that gives them advantages to 198 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:08,800 Speaker 2: get the ball out. So it's not you know, I 199 00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:10,520 Speaker 2: never want the quarterbacks to go in and think, well 200 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,320 Speaker 2: I can't do this or I can't do this. I 201 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,760 Speaker 2: want them to be aggressive and make proper decisions and 202 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 2: you have confidence when you're out here at practice and 203 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 2: they do that, and they've shown to do that, you know, 204 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:25,800 Speaker 2: throughout OTAs, throughout training camp. That's really where our focus is. 205 00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 2: You know, how have they created the turnovers that they've created? 206 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:33,760 Speaker 2: You know, was it a huge score differential? Did you 207 00:10:33,800 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: play a lot of third and long or second and 208 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:38,640 Speaker 2: long situations because they got you in. You know, some 209 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 2: situations that are good for the defense bad for the offense. 210 00:10:42,920 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 2: Who are the players that do a good job of 211 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 2: getting to the ball and taking the ball away when 212 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 2: the running back has it? Our finished level that we 213 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,360 Speaker 2: need to have to make sure that we're chasing the 214 00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,560 Speaker 2: ball and getting those extra blocks for the guys that 215 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 2: have the ball. How can the line protect inside out? 216 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 2: The time in the rhythm in the passing game, all 217 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 2: those things that play into playing good offensive football. You're 218 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,280 Speaker 2: always going to have some of those situations come up, 219 00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,000 Speaker 2: and you have to do a good job of coaching 220 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,679 Speaker 2: off of it, and then players have to do a 221 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:13,559 Speaker 2: good job of going out there and executing when we're 222 00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 2: in those situations.
