1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: What do you think makes the Golden Tates made a

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: couple of dropping up book The Golden Tates made a

3
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:08,360
Speaker 1: couple of really like difficult tip ball catches the one

4
00:00:08,440 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: last week Patriots. What makes a receiver really good at

5
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 1: that specific skill? Um, I just think you know, some

6
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: guys have really good you know, you could say ball skills,

7
00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 1: but probably hand eye coordination is probably what it's. You know,

8
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 1: he's probably born with that. And then you know he's

9
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,279
Speaker 1: got really good instincts too. Um. You know, he knew

10
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: exactly where the guy was going to come from, how

11
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: close he was going to be, the guy coming from

12
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,880
Speaker 1: the outside, even though he didn't see him. Just things

13
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: like that, And I mean, um, probably blessed with a

14
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: little talents most about slaves year, what is in question?

15
00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: Most Um, I think he's gotten better each week. Um.

16
00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: I think you know, he's quiet, so we didn't really

17
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: know what kind of personality football knowledge, uh, instincts he had,

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: and I think all those were probably more than what

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 1: we thought. Um, he's kind of calmness about himself. I

20
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 1: think the first thing that kind of you know, he's

21
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 1: still a rookie. You know, he's got a lot to

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,320
Speaker 1: learn and a lot and a lot to improve on. UM.

23
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: But the first thing that kind of caught my eye

24
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:21,319
Speaker 1: was just his communication early in the preseason games during

25
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: the game with the quarterbacks. UM. Not a lot of receivers,

26
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 1: especially young ones, kind of come up to quarterbacks and say, hey,

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 1: what do you think on that? You know, this is

28
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: what I thought, and I gotta do this better. And

29
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: you know, right away he was doing that, and I

30
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 1: thought that was impressive for a young guy, and UM,

31
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: I think that kind of led into you know what

32
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:40,320
Speaker 1: we you know, what we've what we found out is

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,479
Speaker 1: that he's got a little confidence about himself and good

34
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: football knowledge, and you know, hopefully he'll just keep getting

35
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: better as a route runner, always be more advanceding maybe

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: we thought I think coming in a lot of people

37
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,000
Speaker 1: saw the speed and thought here, yeah, Um, I think

38
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: Tyke's done a great job with him and I think

39
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: he's probably and we probably didn't give him enough credit

40
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:01,639
Speaker 1: as a route on her UM coming out of college.

41
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: I know those guys are well coached down there at Auburn. UM.

42
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: You know, they have a little bit different offense than

43
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 1: we do, but they still run a lot of the

44
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: same routes and and we saw a lot of big plays,

45
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: just like everybody did when he was coming out in

46
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 1: the draft. But um, he's really good at at really

47
00:02:17,040 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: running all the routes. UM for a young guy, of

48
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: for example, one of the easiest things. But you know,

49
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: you would think it's easy, but a lot of times,

50
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: especially for young guys, just getting the proper depth. Um.

51
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's probably as good as Hanging Brookie as

52
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: I've ever seen, as little as that is of just

53
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, getting depth because as we know, the timing

54
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,919
Speaker 1: is so important. If you're short, the quarterback is gonna

55
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: be late with the ball. And he's done a good

56
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: job of it, assuming he played. What do you what

57
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 1: do you want to see the last two weeks to

58
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: kind of put a ball on his lookie year, Well,

59
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: we'll just lock in on this game. If he does.

60
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,639
Speaker 1: You know, it's just um win games. You know, it's

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: all about winning, UM, finding ways to win, and UM

62
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: the consistency. Now to do that for a quarterback, it's

63
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: you know, as we know, it's it's three things. You know,

64
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: getting going the right guy with the football, getting the

65
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: ball there on time and accurately, and just the consistency

66
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,880
Speaker 1: of that decision. Making to start with would be the

67
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: things that we're looking for in all quarterbacks. But you know,

68
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:15,239
Speaker 1: especially young guys improving. Where do you see him so

69
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: far with where you Yeah, I think he's been. You know,

70
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: he's been really good for a young guy. I think

71
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: it's obviously that you know a number the number one thing,

72
00:03:23,560 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 1: throw out all the stats and all the kind of

73
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: fantasy stuff. Number one thing is when winning football games.

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: So um, and and as as the quarterback, you're at

75
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: the focal point of that. So you know, we at

76
00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: that position got to be better. Um. But I think

77
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: there's signs throughout that because and you have to look

78
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: at that not necessarily statistics, but just signs of decision making,

79
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: how quick he's making, um, how he recovers from a

80
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: negative play, UM, how he is with his technique. That

81
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: are all, um, continuing to improve. Now we just gotta

82
00:03:56,920 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: as a as a as a quarterback and as a team,

83
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: just got to see more results on the On the

84
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: plus side, why can you tell if there's something in

85
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: particular that he gained a value from being out of

86
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: the lineup for a couple of weeks, albeit the circumstances

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,520
Speaker 1: or not what you wanted. Yeah, I know you guys

88
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: kind of asked him that question yesterday. I think that's

89
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: probably more for him to answer. I think just in general, though,

90
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: when you I mean just you know, watching number ten,

91
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: you know how he operates during the during the court.

92
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: I think you could watch him every single week and

93
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 1: just continue to learn um on the preparation from the

94
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 1: minty walks in the building until um the end of

95
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: the game for the whole week. You know, just the

96
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: thought process, the um gathering of information and storing it

97
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,799
Speaker 1: and then applying it on Sunday. How to take information

98
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 1: that the volume that's thrown at you on Wednesday and

99
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: absorb it and then retain it um through study and

100
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: preparation and kind of going over it and going over

101
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:04,360
Speaker 1: and going over it until it becomes natural to you

102
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Is that a special quality that Daniel may

103
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: have that maybe other guys wouldn't, because in that situation,

104
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: Daniel doesn't instrict me as someone who needs you to

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: tell him what to watch that he kind of just

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,920
Speaker 1: watches on his own and picks it up. Is that

107
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 1: kind of what you're talking about in terms of yeah,

108
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: and knowing what you're seeing and learning from what you're

109
00:05:23,720 --> 00:05:25,800
Speaker 1: seeing rather than what you're being told. I think he

110
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: has a good quality and I think he's learned from Eli,

111
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: but I think he he learned from UH coach cuck

112
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Cliffe at Duke probably more so than anybody, and has

113
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: been you know, and it's benefited because of it. I

114
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: think he's been I've said this often, he's been very

115
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,840
Speaker 1: well trained in college and you know, we're reaping the

116
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: benefits of that as we see him on the field

117
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: with his productivity. Now we just like I said earlier,

118
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 1: we kind of continue on that, on that in that

119
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 1: direction with wins, it looked like a sink one's willing

120
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 1: to take, you know, the four or five sixty things

121
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: as long as trying to with the twelve yards. Even

122
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: though he is that the best you've seen of him

123
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: in a while, the hardest. Maybe he's running a while,

124
00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, I think, um, just overall, um, I

125
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: think the thing that stood out more so, And it's

126
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 1: probably hard to measure this all of us because he's

127
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 1: not going to talk about it even if he was,

128
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: But I think that's probably the more so than any

129
00:06:21,800 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: of the games where I've really seen him cut it

130
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: loose on some ninety degree turns that we saw last year,

131
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:30,040
Speaker 1: maybe we hadn't quite seen as much. Um, I think

132
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: he's his body is probably feeling. Really that's just my

133
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: personal opinion. You know, he might say differently, but I

134
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 1: think I saw more of that, and you know, to

135
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: your point, Um, you know, we had a really in

136
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,320
Speaker 1: my opinion, we had a good day rushing the football

137
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: and we really didn't have as you set, a lot

138
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,720
Speaker 1: of explosive play. So I think that's a credit to

139
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: him as well as our offensive line to be able

140
00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 1: to move the ball efficiently and and gain that kind

141
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,760
Speaker 1: of yard that many yards on the ground without without

142
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,800
Speaker 1: like a one run for seventy and the rest have

143
00:06:57,880 --> 00:07:01,080
Speaker 1: a low average. So um, Again, like some other things

144
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: that we've talked about, I think there's some signs that

145
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 1: are pointing in the right direction up front, and then

146
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: we'll sake one
