1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:02,800
Speaker 1: Um, Daniel, I asked to sit Dalvin just a moment ago.

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your take from the offensive perspective.

3
00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: Early in the year, the coaches spoke about how, you know,

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,840
Speaker 1: because there was no real offseason training camp is kind

5
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: of weird. It was getting to know you type of

6
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: process for everybody involved. Do you feel that at this

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: point that getting to know your process is kind of complete?

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 1: And have you seen from the offensive perspective the offense

9
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 1: take on the identity that it wants to have And

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: if so, what's that identity? Uh? Yeah, you know, I think, um,

11
00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 1: you know, we've certainly spent enough time with with each

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 1: other at this point and you know, feel comfortable, Um,

13
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,599
Speaker 1: you know, and with what we're doing and who we're

14
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 1: doing it with. I think, you know, the focus is

15
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,120
Speaker 1: still to continue to improve week to week. I don't

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: think that changes. I think, you know, there's still a

17
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities for us to uh to take big

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: steps week to week and to learn and and and

19
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 1: grow as an offense as a team, and um, you

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 1: know that that that stays the same, Uh, regardless of, uh,

21
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, what point in the season or how much

22
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,640
Speaker 1: time we had in the off season. But UM, I

23
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: think the the identity um for us is to be

24
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: a physical, physical football team that fights for for sixty minutes.

25
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: And um, you know that's the that's a challenge to us.

26
00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: It's very clear. Uh you know from coach Judge and

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,040
Speaker 1: from all the coaches that that that's expectation and and

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: um you know that's what we what we try to

29
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: do weekend and week out. Thanks Daniel all shorts Hey, Daniel, Uh. Uh.

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: Joe Judge said earlier today that he still looks at

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: you as developing player. Um. You know, your resume says

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:43,320
Speaker 1: it's your second year, so I guess that's true. Um.

33
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: How how do you juggle the patients of knowing you're

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 1: a developing player and also your desire to have results

35
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 1: now and win now? Um? You know I think, Um,

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: you know, my focus is to to improve every week.

37
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sure about UM you know how

38
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 1: how I you know, label myself. I'm not sure how

39
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: you know what that? Um you know how productive that

40
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,960
Speaker 1: is for me to do. But you know, my focus

41
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: is to improve and to continue to grow. And you know,

42
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 1: I certainly understand there's lots of areas of my game

43
00:02:14,280 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: that that UM, you know I need to to improve

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: on and that's you know what I'm focused uh week

45
00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: to week and um, yeah, sorry, what was the second

46
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: part of your question? Well, I mean the fact that, um,

47
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: you know, if you are developing, you know the other

48
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: team doesn't care about that, right you know they want

49
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,320
Speaker 1: to knock your block off and win the game, So

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 1: you can can you be patient with the fact that

51
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you're still a young quarterback and your head coach thinks

52
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: you're developing, but there's a need to win right now

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: and play better right now? Yeah, I mean the uh,

54
00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:47,519
Speaker 1: the goal every time we go out on the field

55
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: is to win the football game. There's no confusion about that.

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: And you know, I certainly uh don't have any other

57
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: any other goals or expectations when when I walk out

58
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: on the field. So, um, you know, I know our

59
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: team feel is out. I feel that and uh we're

60
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: doing doing everything we can to to win and we're

61
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 1: confident every time we go out on the field. Thanks

62
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 1: Bruce Becky. Daniel, do you look at the standings? Do

63
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: do you realize what a win could do this weekend?

64
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:19,799
Speaker 1: Are you energized by that or are you gonna give

65
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: me the day by day, game by game coach speak.

66
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's up to you. Yeah, you know, I

67
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:30,600
Speaker 1: think we're certainly aware of uh, aware of of the

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: situation division and where the division stands. I think there's

69
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: opportunities for us. But um, you know, you can say

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 1: it's coach speak, you can say whatever whatever you want

71
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: to say it is. But the truth is, you know,

72
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: we we have to take a game by game and

73
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: that's the the reality of Um, you know how you

74
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,040
Speaker 1: have to approach these situations if you want to play

75
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: your best week to week. So that's where our focus is.

76
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's real and that's um, that's where

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 1: we are. Are pretty you excited this weekend, Daniel, by

78
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,480
Speaker 1: the opportunity that's a front of you. Absolutely, we're all excited.

79
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: All these division games are are huge games. They mean

80
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: a lot, and and um, you know teams we know well,

81
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,840
Speaker 1: teams we've played, and and um, you know that's an

82
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:18,039
Speaker 1: exciting opportunity for us. Take a couple more, Chris Daniel,

83
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: coach George said to say about how much he sees

84
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: the improvement in you from week to week, reading defenses

85
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 1: and all that. So I'm curious. You know, you practice

86
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: to get Sue Savon, Vetuans and Bradbury and Logan Ryan

87
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: every day. How much today help you? And do you

88
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: communicate with them like maybe away from the field and

89
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 1: they help guide you, all assist you and have the

90
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,479
Speaker 1: Greek defenses and do you all come in to opponent

91
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: and all that. Uh. Yeah, I've I've learned a ton

92
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,719
Speaker 1: from from both those guys and and um, you know,

93
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: I think I'm always interested in here and hearing what

94
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: they see in me, what they see in in quarterbacks,

95
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,960
Speaker 1: they're getting ready to play and kind of the things

96
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: they're they're looking for the opportunities they see too to

97
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 1: make plays or you know, I think all that stuff

98
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: is is uh interesting and they're all opportunities for for

99
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: me to learn. So um you know, I think uh

100
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: with veteran players, especially guys in the secondary, we've had

101
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: the amount of success that those two guys have had.

102
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: Um you know, I think there's um an opportunity there

103
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: and I've enjoyed learning from him. Thank you, Jan Hey Daniel,

104
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what you've seen from Jason Garrett and I'm

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 1: thinking of along the lines of in regards to what

106
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: you guys are calling and doing offensively. How much has

107
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: it expanded from let's say, the first four games into

108
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: the season until now, Uh you know, I think, um,

109
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 1: you know, we've certainly added some things here and there,

110
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,599
Speaker 1: we've taken some things out here and there, and and

111
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 1: um you know, I think we've kind of found uh

112
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: you know, found what works, found what doesn't work. And um,

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: I think that's the way you know, it probably works

114
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: with with any team through the first half of the season.

115
00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:58,720
Speaker 1: And and um you know, I think he's done an

116
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: incredible job, uh you know, calling these games and and

117
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 1: putting us in a position to win and and move

118
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: the ball effectively and and score points. So um you know,

119
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 1: I've enjoyed it. And yeah, you know, I think it

120
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: has probably changed, uh you know, from the beginning of

121
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: the season, like like i'd expect, uh you know, most

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,240
Speaker 1: teams probably have at this point. And also, what kind

123
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: of effect does it have on you if you're gonna

124
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,280
Speaker 1: be rotating six, seven, eight offensive linemen throughout a game.

125
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I think you know, all those guys

126
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,400
Speaker 1: who who have come in or guys who've uh you know,

127
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: proven they can play, who who've uh you know, earned

128
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: the earned the right to be out on the field. Uh,

129
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 1: through what they've done in practice and and um you

130
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: know they've they've all played well and and bring something

131
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: brings something a little bit different to the table. So um,

132
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 1: you know, I've enjoyed playing playing with them, playing behind them,

133
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: and they've all done a done a great job. So

134
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: um you know, I got a lot of trust and

135
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 1: confidence and all those guys we've been putting in there.

136
00:06:55,880 --> 00:07:01,279
Speaker 1: Take two more Ard ed Hey, Daniel. The phrase game

137
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: manager sometimes gets tossed around with quarterbacks, and it has

138
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: kind of a negative connotation, But when you think about it,

139
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: isn't that really A quarterback's job is to manage the game,

140
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 1: decide when to take risks, when to be safe, get

141
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,360
Speaker 1: his team in the right plays and in position to win.

142
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 1: Isn't game management really what the job is? Yeah, I'd

143
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: agree with that. I think, um you know, I think,

144
00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, a big part of it is is understanding when,

145
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, when the opportunity is there, and the

146
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: ability to recognize that quickly anticipated and take it. And

147
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,559
Speaker 1: you know a lot of times that's down the field

148
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 1: or sometimes that's just a quick decision where you're letting

149
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 1: a guy catch and run and giving him space with

150
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: a with an accurate ball. But yeah, I think you know,

151
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: understanding when those opportunities are there, when when it's not there,

152
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 1: when we call a play and we don't get the look,

153
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,200
Speaker 1: and and uh you know, the ability to make a

154
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:57,200
Speaker 1: decision quickly and avoid a uh negative play, a sack

155
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: or holding the ball. I think you know, all those

156
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: situations maybe go into the to the game management category,

157
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: but are important skills, uh you know as a quarterback

158
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: and and um you know, I think things that uh

159
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: you are important to understand the position. And I'm certainly

00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 1: the Giants are assessing whether you're their franchise quarterback, if

164
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,200
Speaker 1: that's a decision they're making, you know, what do you

165
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: think you need to show them by that point to

166
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: prove that they have no decision to make once next

167
