1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Daniel, in the third quarter when the Eagles come out

2
00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,840
Speaker 1: and score and you guys answered them immediately. Can you

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: walk us through that drive and just your confidence level

4
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 1: that at that moment that you were going to deliver

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: in order to give your team this much needed win. Uh, yeah,

6
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: I think that was. Um, you know, we we were

7
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: confident in what we were doing all day. You know,

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, from an offensive standpoint, we

9
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: felt like we were moving the ball and executing. Um.

10
00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,400
Speaker 1: You know, the the Eagles came out, Uh, you know,

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: came out fast and scored, and then you know, being

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 1: able to answer there was was big force and then

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,760
Speaker 1: you know the defense, uh you know boat up and

14
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 1: played huge down the stretch. So UM, A lot of

15
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 1: credit to those guys and how they played. But um, offensively,

16
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: we felt like we were we were executing, and uh,

17
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:51,160
Speaker 1: you know it's up to us to to keep drives

18
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: going to um to execute and and um, you know,

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: keep the ball going forward. I'm right, Daniel, that that

20
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: forty order to to Darius that set up the field

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,400
Speaker 1: goal that made it a two possession game. What did

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 1: you see there? And is that one of the instances

23
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,120
Speaker 1: that coaches have been talking about where you take the

24
00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,880
Speaker 1: aggressive shot when it when it's presented to you. Yeah,

25
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, I think that was you know, first, a

26
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,640
Speaker 1: great call by by coach Carrett there in that situation.

27
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: Obviously they were expecting the run, um, and you know,

28
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 1: expecting us to to try to uh you know, keep

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: them on the ground and drain out the clock. And

30
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: and you know, just a match up there where we

31
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 1: had uh you know, Darius down the field and and

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: uh you know really just try to just try to

33
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: give him a chance. And you saw the play made

34
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:40,840
Speaker 1: was was an incredible one. So, um, you know, a

35
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: great call, great call by coach Caret in that situation,

36
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: and and a great job you know, executing and a

37
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:53,800
Speaker 1: heck of a catch from uh from Darius there. Hey Daniel, Um,

38
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,919
Speaker 1: can you say what you saw on the touchdown run? Um? Also,

39
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: why are these zone reads seemed to be so effective

40
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: against the Eagles? And was it especially satisfying to have

41
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: a long run and get in the end zone against

42
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 1: the Eagles? Uh? Yeah, it was good. Uh it felt

43
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: good to to get in the end zone and and um,

44
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 1: you know we we did a great job uh blocking

45
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: it up there. Uh, you know, Austin Matt came down,

46
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: uh and and made a big block there then uh,

47
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of opened up for me. So um,

48
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, tried to just try to stay on my

49
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: feet that time and and uh get in the end zone.

50
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:39,280
Speaker 1: Globber News day, Daniel, Um, your coach just said that

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: you were a tough mentally ends When you hear that,

52
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: what what is you know, apart from the ability as

53
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: a quarterback, When you hear about that toughness from your coach,

54
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: what does that mean to you? Um? Yeah, I think

55
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,400
Speaker 1: that's an important part of playing the position, is uh

56
00:02:57,480 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 1: mental and physical toughness, I think for any football player, um,

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,399
Speaker 1: you know, especially a quarterback, and that's something I try

58
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: to do, uh you know every time I go out

59
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: there on the field. So um, you know, I think

60
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 1: our team is is uh you know, taking on that

61
00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: um identity from coach and and you know, I think

62
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: we're playing uh you know, a tough brand of tough

63
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: brand of football right now. And you know I certainly

64
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:25,400
Speaker 1: try to be part of that. Jordan run Now, Hey, Daniel,

65
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: how you do? Man? Good? Thanks? I know you here

66
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 1: about it all the time and we sit here and

67
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: we pepper you about it every week. Right about the turnovers,

68
00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,280
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you to have two straight

69
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: games with no turnovers? Uh? Yeah, you know, I think

70
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 1: that uh certainly gives us a better chance to to

71
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 1: win games. And and uh, you know something I've been

72
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: focusing on and and um, you know, I think you know,

73
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,840
Speaker 1: we we did a great job executing and and you know,

74
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: coach Garrett called a great game. And and you know

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: it's it's up to me to understand where to take

76
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: risks and not not to take risks. So um, you know,

77
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: I think certainly, you know, feels good to uh not

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: turn the ball over and and um, you know, gotta

79
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: keep building on it, keep keep growing, and and um

80
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,880
Speaker 1: you know that that certainly helps our chances to win.

81
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:19,200
Speaker 1: What have you done differently or have you done anything differently? Um?

82
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: You know, I think it's just just a better understanding

83
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,160
Speaker 1: in certain situations when to when depressed and when not depressed,

84
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: and and uh you know when to take those risks

85
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: and when not too. Let's take three more. Otis Lombardo

86
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: art otis all right, Daniel. Uh, I'm sure that you've

87
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,320
Speaker 1: never really struggled with confidence, but can you talk about

88
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: how your confidence is growing? Because You've known that this

89
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,839
Speaker 1: team could win games, you just hadn't been able to

90
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: win games and put back to back victories together. And

91
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:50,279
Speaker 1: now you have. How's your conference growing? Yeah, you know,

92
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: I think our confidence as a team is continuing to grow.

93
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, we were certainly frustrated through

94
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: the first stretch of the season and frustrating not to

95
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: get these old set Um you know, we we expected

96
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: and and um you know, but but we didn't let

97
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 1: that discourage us. We didn't let that, um you know,

98
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 1: affect our confidence. Um you know, we can a week

99
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Speaker 1: out and continue to improve and uh you know, work

100
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: toward toward the next week. And I think ultimately that's

101
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: what um you know, it's helped us, helped us do that,

102
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: helped us continue to to improve and grow and and

103
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 1: uh you know, the the challenges to keep doing that,

104
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to to build confidence through that, uh,

105
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: through that work and through that improvement. Matt Lombardo, Hey Daniel, UM,

106
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: how much pride do you take in being able to

107
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 1: make place as a runner, because it feels like these

108
00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: zone read runs of yours have kind of opened up

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 1: a lot more of the offense. Uh. Yeah, you know,

110
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: I think that's, uh, you know, a good part of

111
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: of this system of of you know, Coach Garrett's system

112
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: and and you know what we're able to do. So, um,

113
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,120
Speaker 1: you know, just try to try to do my best

114
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: to execute those and and um, you know, take advantage

115
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: of the opportunities out of there. Last question here our

116
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: stables him, Daniel, are you doing good? How you doing

117
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: art good? Um? You had I know you talked about

118
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: the Slaton throw, but previously on the drive that you

119
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,320
Speaker 1: guys ended up punching in the end zone, you gave

120
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: Shot a chance to make a play. He made the

121
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: play for your golden had a chance to make a play.

122
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: He made a great play. How satisfying is that for

123
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: you to have your guys make plays when you give

124
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 1: him an opportunity. Yeah, you know, I think that's something

125
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: we've we've talked about a lot of is given those

126
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: guys a chance, and um, you know they've they've they've

127
00:06:41,800 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: come up big for us time and time again. And

128
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,880
Speaker 1: you know those are certainly two situations, um where you know,

129
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: guys made made huge plays for us, and uh, you know,

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: I've gotta gotta keep giving them chances to to do that.

131
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: And you know, you see what they what they're able

132
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:59,479
Speaker 1: to do. So, um you know those those were big plays.

133
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: Guys step up throughout the day. Um you want to

134
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 1: make those plays. M m m hmmmm hm
