1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,480 Speaker 1: A tremor was saying that you, just like a lot 2 00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,960 Speaker 1: of other guys in this team, are a young guy, 3 00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 1: you know, grinding, trying to work some through some things 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,360 Speaker 1: and learn. Do you look at yourself that way expectations wise? 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Or do you not look at yourself as a young 6 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:18,080 Speaker 1: guy who's learning like you you need to be more 7 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: than that. Um, I mean I don't look at it 8 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,880 Speaker 1: that way, but I guess like he's not lying. I mean, 9 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: I'm only twenty two, um, in my second year, but 10 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, you gotta hold yourself to a standard and 11 00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:32,959 Speaker 1: hold yourself to high expectations. And that's how I am, 12 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 1: and that's something continued to be and you know, even 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:37,639 Speaker 1: know you face adversity or the season is not going 14 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: how we wanted the team? Um, just got keyboarding. So 15 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 1: what's the biggest difference from this time last year to 16 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:48,200 Speaker 1: now in terms of the vibe? Where do you think 17 00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: the season is is heading? Like do you feel like 18 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,680 Speaker 1: you guys are building on something here? Like? What do 19 00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: you think the biggest difference is from last year than now? Um? 20 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,960 Speaker 1: I mean I still think we believe with building on something, um, 21 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:02,360 Speaker 1: Like we we know that I'll see our record. You 22 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,720 Speaker 1: are what your records says you are. Um with the 23 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: great Bill Parcel would say, Um, he exactly right. But 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,839 Speaker 1: we understand that we've been a lot of tough, close 25 00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,759 Speaker 1: games this year. Um, and we've just been inconsistent all around, um, 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,480 Speaker 1: in all phases of the game. And UM, we're not 27 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,840 Speaker 1: as far as everyone think. And that's the belief that 28 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,280 Speaker 1: we have in this locker room. And UM, you know, 29 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: I think that's where it needs to start. You gotta 30 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 1: believing it first, and we continue believing it and continue 31 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:29,200 Speaker 1: believing each other, which I think that we're doing a 32 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,560 Speaker 1: great job. Um, those those little losses will turn to wins. 33 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 1: And you know, it's just not happening for us right now. 34 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 1: But UM, you know you gotta persevere and keep doing it. 35 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 1: What do you say we're not as far as everyone thinks? 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 1: What makes you believe that? So because I know what 37 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: we've got in his locker room, Um, I'm actually on 38 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:51,560 Speaker 1: the field playing. Um. You know, we we watch and 39 00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: we break down the film. Uh. And you know a 40 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 1: lot of those games were in a lot of those games, UM, 41 00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,880 Speaker 1: but it's it's the same thing like last year. Last year, 42 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,000 Speaker 1: in a lot of those games too, we lost like well, 43 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: eight seven games by seven points and I don't know 44 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: what I mean games we lost this year by that close. 45 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: But um, those are the things that you know, we 46 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 1: gotta fix and we're just inconsistent in those areas. And UM, yes, 47 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 1: you can get the excuse that we're a young team. 48 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,800 Speaker 1: Um that's that's the nature of it. But that can't 49 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: be our excuse. Um, And we gotta find a way 50 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,799 Speaker 1: to fix that and correct it. And um, once we do, UM, 51 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 1: I think that, you know, the sky's gonna be a 52 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 1: limit and I'm not set up before, but I truly 53 00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,720 Speaker 1: believe in that, and I know everyone is locking with 54 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,119 Speaker 1: believing that. So we's gotta keep brining and keeps ticking 55 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,560 Speaker 1: with each other. You know, I always got a lot 56 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: of credit and the old offensive plotman who's saying he 57 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,520 Speaker 1: put us in the right position to flout for the 58 00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: running game. Daniel is still learning that. Um yeah, I 59 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 1: mean he's he's I don't think he's played more than 60 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,959 Speaker 1: ten games or eleven games yet. Uh, He's he's still 61 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 1: learned that. But I think he's done a really good 62 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 1: job so far. You know, he's even though he's a rookie, 63 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,120 Speaker 1: he's a young, young quarterback. Uh, he puts a lot 64 00:02:58,120 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: of hard work in Um. And you know he's one 65 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 1: last guys to leave this building, if not the last guy. Um, 66 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: you can tell that he really cared. He passionate about 67 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: the game. And UM, you know as his career continue 68 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,520 Speaker 1: to go, he's gonna get a lot better. No one 69 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: expects him to be at the level of what recognizing 70 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 1: defenses and put in positions like how Eli would. He 71 00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,799 Speaker 1: has been doing it for fifteen years. Um, it's it's 72 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: impossible for them to be on the same level. So 73 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,239 Speaker 1: but he's gonna continue working. Um, he's been doing a 74 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: great job for us. It's your manage job for us 75 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 1: and helping us be in position to win games. And uh, 76 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 1: we as a team, you got to do a better 77 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,880 Speaker 1: job of being consistent in all areas of the game, 78 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 1: in all phases of the game too, to find a 79 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: way to grind out some of these ones. What does 80 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: impressed you most about there? Anyway? Just as great, this 81 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: is great, you know, just as great. I mean, he 82 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 1: gets drafted here. He gets booed when he gets drafted here, 83 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,080 Speaker 1: and no one, everyone, all you guys said he we 84 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't have drafted him. Um, and none of that. He 85 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,040 Speaker 1: puts out all the side and the only thing he 86 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: cares about he's passion about his sport and his team 87 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: and his guys in the locker room. And you know, 88 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: if he continue to have that, I think he's gonna 89 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 1: be one of the best quarterback, could not the best 90 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 1: quarterback in the league. Someday I tuld leave that. You 91 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:02,840 Speaker 1: said before the last game you wanted to get back 92 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: to being you, to have fun, to running the way 93 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,800 Speaker 1: you know how to run it. Did you do that 94 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: the way that you intended in that game? Yeah? I 95 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: have fun. I mean I have fun. I went out there, 96 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: I was flying around uh uh in the warm ups 97 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and you know, having smiled my face with those guys, 98 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,360 Speaker 1: and obviously the game didn't go the way we wanted. 99 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: But you know, I have fun. Um, That's why i'mnna 100 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,240 Speaker 1: continue to do. Just continue to go out there, have fun, 101 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,680 Speaker 1: play the game that I love, understand how fortunate I 102 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: find blessed I am, um, and try to create more 103 00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: plays and make more places on my team. When that's 104 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: why I just got to do a better job of 105 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,920 Speaker 1: that twenty two yard run you had on the last 106 00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,000 Speaker 1: scoring drive. The move you put on the second. Did 107 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: I look hurt? I know that's what you're going to it. 108 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 1: So did I look hurt?

No, it's not it's not that for the 124 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,520 Speaker 1: burd on me to do more, but that just I 125 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: just our season, you know, like you know we're doing 126 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 1: this well and something here. You know, we have these 127 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 1: guys healthy and this guy's not healthy. And this is 128 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: it's like, this is up and down, up and down, 129 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: up and down, And those are the things that you 130 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 1: know every team faces and we've been facing this year. 131 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: But um, you know, hopefully Taking can get back as 132 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,280 Speaker 1: quickly as he can because he's a tremendous player. And um, 133 00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: you know, I just been playing playing great for us 134 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: this season, but I don't feel the burn on myself 135 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: to to pick it up. Um. It's not just a 136 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,560 Speaker 1: one man's sport. That's why the greatest team support ever 137 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 1: to play. It takes all guys on the field. And um, 138 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,080 Speaker 1: you know, we just gotta click better and mess better 139 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: to win these games. How important to you to keep 140 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 1: your keep your optimism in the face of holes that's losing? 141 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,720 Speaker 1: And I guess how how hard is that? You know? 142 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: You you always talk about how things are gonna change 143 00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: and and and everything you get better. And I believe 144 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: that you believe that, But just how important is that 145 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,599 Speaker 1: to to getting there? To get well, that's where it starts. 146 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: You gotta believe in it first. You know, if you 147 00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: don't believe in it's not gonna happen. Um, And obviously 148 00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,640 Speaker 1: it hasn't been. It hasn't turned around. In two years, 149 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,040 Speaker 1: like we'll like it. You know, in the first year, 150 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,880 Speaker 1: I wish I was saying we competed for Super Ball. 151 00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: I wish we were in the playoff containers this year. 152 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:31,840 Speaker 1: And it's not. That's just the cases not in so 153 00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: that versity that we're going through, in that versity that 154 00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: we're facing. Um, But you gotta believe it first for 155 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: it to actually happen. If you don't believe in it 156 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: would never happen. So UM, that's why it's important because 157 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,719 Speaker 1: it starts there. And uh, not only myself, but everyone 158 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:44,599 Speaker 1: is a room. You know, we believe and we're gonna 159 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,839 Speaker 1: continue to believe. We continue to work trying to finish 160 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,920 Speaker 1: the season off as strong as we can. UM. Starting 161 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,840 Speaker 1: off with the Packers, who's a great team. UM. And 162 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 1: they got a great offense over there. UM, one of 163 00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks ever, play great defense, two amazing pass rushers. UM. 164 00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,920 Speaker 1: And you know we've gotta in a competitive over there too. 165 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,480 Speaker 1: Jy years very familiar with him, UM, one of my 166 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: good friends.
