1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: I know I asked you after the game about Golden,

2
00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:05,360
Speaker 1: but obviously a lot has happened since then. So did

3
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:08,920
Speaker 1: you take personally any of his throw me the ball

4
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: comments or anything that his wife posted on Twitter yesterday

5
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:15,280
Speaker 1: about him not being targeted when it's open. Did you

6
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: take that as criticism of you? Uh? No, you know,

7
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:23,799
Speaker 1: I have uh, um you know, a ton of respect

00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 1: these last couple of years, and certainly have a lot

12
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: of trust in him as a player. So um you know,

13
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: I certainly uh you know, value our relationship, respect him,

14

Speaker 1: and and uh you know, my job is to to

15
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,479
Speaker 1: distribute the ball to our playmakers and and let them

16
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,680
Speaker 1: uh make play. So um you know, he's a great

17
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: player and we'll keep trying to give them a ball.

18
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: So did you guys have to clear the n or

19
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 1: anything or you don't even address it? Uh? Yeah, I mean, well,

20
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: uh we communicate, We we talked, but um you know

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:08,320
Speaker 1: that's that's between me and him, and and like I said,

22
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: I have a ton of respect for for him. Thanks respect.

23
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: Hey Daniel, how do you block out the noise? Um?

24
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 1: How do you deal with the criticism as you prepare

25
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 1: for this next ball game? Uh? Yeah, you know, I

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:30,120
Speaker 1: don't uh certainly don't uh look forward. And you know

27
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: I'm concerned with, um, you know, the people in this building,

28
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,160
Speaker 1: my teammates, my coaches, the people I work with on

29
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,319
Speaker 1: a day to day basis, And and that's where I'm

30
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:41,520
Speaker 1: gonna find, um, you know, that's where I'm gonna find

31
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 1: the constructive criticism I need to to improve and keep

32
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,160
Speaker 1: moving forward. So, um, you know that's my focus. My

33
00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 1: focus is to uh prepare every every week to play

34
00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: as well as I can. So, uh you know I'm

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: gonna do that with the with the people in this

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,640
Speaker 1: building and and uh you know, coaches and teammates and

37
00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: uh uh you know that that's part of the job

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: at Valentine. Hey Daniel, you know you obviously want to succeed,

39
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: you want to win, you want to make plays. Is

40
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: it simply a hard thing for you to accept at

41
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: times that that a play is over with and you

42
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: just need to live for the next one. Yeah, you know,

43
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,720
Speaker 1: I certainly think that's that's part of it. I think,

44
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: you know, I need to do a better job understanding when, uh,

45
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,840
Speaker 1: when the play is over and when um, you know,

46
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: when it's not there, and when uh, you know, the

47
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: best the best outcome is to throw it away or

48
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: in some cases to take a sack or um you know.

49
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: I think certain situations like that I can certainly improve on,

50
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:52,079
Speaker 1: and I'll continue to work on it. Tom Rock, when

51
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: you looked at when you looked at the plays from

52
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 1: the game with uh, I mean, was that the deciding

53
00:02:56,760 --> 00:03:01,120
Speaker 1: determining factor in those interceptions in your mind? Yeah? I

54
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 1: think so. I think both those plays were, um you know,

55
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 1: we're decisions to uh you know, try to make something

56
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 1: happen that that wasn't there. So, um, I've got to

57
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: continue to to look at that and uh you know,

58
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: apply that to two games and in those situations. Why

59
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 1: do you think it's been such a such a struggle

60
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: to find that line, to to find where that boundary

61
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 1: is between between those two things, between being aggressive and

62
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: being too too aggressive? Sometimes? Uh, I don't know. I think, um,

63
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:38,280
Speaker 1: you know, you certainly as uh you know, all of us,

64
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: you know, want to make plays and we want to

65
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 1: uh you know, do the right thing. We want to

66
00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:45,160
Speaker 1: uh put our team in a position to win and

67
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,880
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, in those split moment decisions, you know,

68
00:03:48,920 --> 00:03:51,520
Speaker 1: you've got to be able to understand the bigger picture

69
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: and how each of those plays um factor into the

70
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: the game overall. And and like I said that, you know,

71
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: the best decision on that play is uh, you know,

72
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: sometime to get rid of the ball or you know,

73
00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: minimize the risk of a bad play. You did something

74
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: similar to you did you use it exactly that on

75
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 1: on the final drive you threw You threw one away

76
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 1: in sort of a direst situation. Were those earlier plays

77
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 1: on your mind when you made that play where you

78
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 1: know obviously happens very quickly, but you know, was that

79
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: a lesson learned there? Uh? Yeah, I think that was

80
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, part of it. And um, you know I've

81
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,719
Speaker 1: got to continue to do it, you know, continue to

82
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 1: focus on it and uh, you know, make sure I

83
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: emphasize that, uh in my preparation. Thank you, We'll take

84
00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 1: We'll take one more. Jordan's Daniel, we were kind of

85
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: spoken about these kind of things before, pretty much the

86
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:52,839
Speaker 1: same kind of mistakes and saying the same things. I'm

87
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,000
Speaker 1: wondering you try and alter some of the things you're

88
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: doing to try and pound it in your head. Or

89
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: is it just sort of memory repetition where you just

90
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: want to keep saying the same thing over and over

91
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: again to yourself to try and make sure that the

92
00:05:06,480 --> 00:05:08,720
Speaker 1: next time that the mistake doesn't the same mistake doesn't

93
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: happen again. Yeah. I think there's there's certainly things you

94
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,000
Speaker 1: can change and and the way you prepare and and

95
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: what you do on the practice field. I think there's

96
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 1: certain uh, certain drills and certain uh you know, instances

97
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 1: and uh you know, even in team situations that um

98
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, you can approach differently and and you know,

99
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 1: I think keeping that in mind and and applying it,

100
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 1: um you know, in all situations, I think is is

101
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,599
Speaker 1: kind of the thing. So uh yeah, yeah, you know,

102
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: I think I'll continue to focus on it, continue to

103
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:44,039
Speaker 1: apply it to different situations and find, you know, new

104
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:48,359
Speaker 1: and different ways to work on it. And as a

105
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: team leader with the golden situation, do you have to

106
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: is that something you feel like needs to be addressed

107
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: with the group as a whole. Uh you know, I

108
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 1: think you know the way that that that uh you know,

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: we handle that will be internal and you know, we'll we'll,

110
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:06,039
Speaker 1: we'll deal with it as we as we need to.

111
00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: But uh, like I said, we all, we all have

112
00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: a ton of respect for Golden. He's a he's a

113
