1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:05,200 Speaker 1: All right, ready for questions. What impressed you most about 2 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,959 Speaker 1: Daniel on Sunday? Well, I think getting win number one 3 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: and just the poise. I think that he had um 4 00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: throughout the game. You know, it was very steady, very 5 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: even cul was having a tight end like Evan here. 6 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: It leads you, guys in receptions, receiving yards, two touchdowns 7 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,960 Speaker 1: in terms not just the offense, but in Daniel's development. 8 00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: How important is to have Evan here are a guy 9 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: like yeah, he's been Uh, he's done a great job. 10 00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,960 Speaker 1: Speed is speed is very valuable on a football team, 11 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: and Evan's got it um and each you know, I've 12 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,839 Speaker 1: only been here a year, a little over a year 13 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 1: with him, but you can see his confidence gro um 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,720 Speaker 1: just with time on the field and then time in 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: our system. And uh, you know, he's versatile, he's getting 16 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,720 Speaker 1: he's getting better in the run game with his blocking. 17 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I think that's gonna be a 18 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,040 Speaker 1: good you know, as we move forward, hopefully continue to 19 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,639 Speaker 1: to move the ball and get points on the board, 20 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 1: He's gonna be a big part of that. Said, you 21 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: guys want obviously a lot of good difference happen. What 22 00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:12,000 Speaker 1: do you look at that and say I still air movement, 23 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,680 Speaker 1: Like what what areas do you look at it say 24 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: hey this this is still not good enough? This it's 25 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,040 Speaker 1: still be better. Yeah. Well really, you know, every every 26 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: area you know, there's um, you know, when you're just 27 00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,279 Speaker 1: starting out playing, um, you know, you just keep talking 28 00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,520 Speaker 1: about little things that are uh technique, footwork, getting your 29 00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 1: eyes in the right place, getting the ball out earlier. 30 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: Obviously the big one is ball security. All those things 31 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: just um, you know, trust and things. Sometimes there's difference 32 00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:43,480 Speaker 1: between getting the ball out early, uh and leaving your 33 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 1: first read as opposed to staying on your first read. 34 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: So a lot of it comes with experience. Um and uh, 35 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: you know for the first for the first game, he 36 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: did did pretty good. What's dove for an event when 37 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: you've got exciting to day with the kick the top box. Yeah, 38 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: you know he's a again he just hadn't hadn't played 39 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,040 Speaker 1: very much. But from what we've seen, he's he's shown 40 00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 1: a lot of poise and he does a nice job 41 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,160 Speaker 1: with his routes. He's a really good route runner. Um. 42 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: I hate to say this like this, but for a 43 00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,560 Speaker 1: young guys, he's a good He's a really good route runner. 44 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 1: So Um, A lot of times guys that come in 45 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: for the first time, their routes look a little different 46 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: in the games than they do in practice. But he 47 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: does a nice job with that, and he, like you said, 48 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: he can run. Um. So he's still got a lot 49 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:26,880 Speaker 1: to learn to and a lot of little technique things, 50 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: and um, he's gonna he's gonna play each week some 51 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 1: really really good corners. The best corners that he played 52 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: in college will probably be the ones he'll see every 53 00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:38,160 Speaker 1: week here in the NFL. And you know, when it 54 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 1: comes to Daniel, you had seen a lot more of 55 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: him and new strikes before we we did, but none 56 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: of Listen that you've seen him when the bullets fly 57 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,079 Speaker 1: for real. How does that help you go forward with 58 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 1: your game play now that you've seen him react so 59 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: well to real game situation. Yeah, I think for us too, 60 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: I think experience helps with your players, um on how 61 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: they especially at the quarterback position, on just a you know, 62 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: how they are, where their mentality is, where their mindset, um, 63 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 1: how they are after a negative play, things like that, 64 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: how they are, Um, you know, even in the huddle, 65 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: of the tempo of the getting the plays in and 66 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,040 Speaker 1: that getting the offense in and out of the huddle 67 00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:16,200 Speaker 1: after the play, seeing things at the line of scrimmage. 68 00:03:16,240 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: So um, you know, again just kind of like we 69 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: talked about earlier, he was he did some good things there, 70 00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: and there's some things that you know, we can all 71 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 1: improve on and help him with, and he can help himself. 72 00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 1: If they're almost throwing that interception, it's really the only 73 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: throw he made all day. That Yeah, I mean, that's 74 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: that's one of the ones we gotta learn learn. We 75 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 1: were lucky and we gotta learn from it. Um saying, 76 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: I mean, I think you guys, I don't know. You know, 77 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,160 Speaker 1: you guys have been around him a little bit and 78 00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 1: he probably hasn't changed very much. The way he addresses 79 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: you all. It's the same way with me, um and 80 00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: and on the sidelines, he's very steady, uh, and you 81 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: know he really kind of you know, when when we're 82 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: out there, it's especially for a young guy, it's kind 83 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,600 Speaker 1: of just locks everything else out. It's kind of it's 84 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,760 Speaker 1: almost like we're in a meeting room, you know, and uh, 85 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,760 Speaker 1: just kind of in there by ourselves with the quarterbacks. 86 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 1: Game plan change now that you don't have stake one 87 00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: and you're gonna have to go with Wayne. Well, I 88 00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: think we're gonna still you know, uh, I'm sure coach 89 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: probably has addressed that too. We're still going to run 90 00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: our stuff, um. And you know Wayne's runs the ball 91 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: differently than than say Kwan. Uh. But we we still 92 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: have our things that we want to hang our hat on, 93 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,680 Speaker 1: and then we'll tweak a week to week based on 94 00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: personnel or based on the defense we're playing. Um, but 95 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,000 Speaker 1: we feel like we want to have good balance. You 96 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:33,840 Speaker 1: try to have good balance each and every week, and 97 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,800 Speaker 1: you know, do the things that keep you out of 98 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 1: long yardage situations and and uh, you know, and then 99 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: obviously get the ball on the end zone when you 100 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:44,039 Speaker 1: get close to the going differently. What do you mean 101 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,880 Speaker 1: by that, Well, he's not as big, he's not quite 102 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:49,920 Speaker 1: as as big, so you're not gonna quite see him. 103 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,320 Speaker 1: I would think lower shoulder, although he will do it 104 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 1: and we've seen him do it like Sa Kuan has times. 105 00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: But um, Wayne has, in in my short time with him, 106 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: has flashed uh at times where he's really explosive. Um, 107 00:05:03,240 --> 00:05:06,680 Speaker 1: whether or not it's running the football or receiving the football. UM. 108 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: So it's it's our job and his job to get 109 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,160 Speaker 1: him doing and playing fast where he's not thinking and 110 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: just going as fast as he can because he's fun 111 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:17,160 Speaker 1: to watch one. He's that one. Maybe maybe it's the 112 00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,239 Speaker 1: things you're talking about, like staying at a long yardage 113 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,280 Speaker 1: but this then a knock on Wane or you're like 114 00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:24,080 Speaker 1: Penny or anybody. Sa Kuan has more fifty yard runs 115 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:26,960 Speaker 1: than anybody, So you're gonna lose whoever you put in there. 116 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: You're gonna lose some of that explosiveness. What does that 117 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: do to the rest of the offense. I mean, I 118 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,920 Speaker 1: think that's just those things are. It's just kind of 119 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: you gotta look at him his bonus. I mean, we've 120 00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 1: and you're you're right, we've been spoiled over the last 121 00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: uh year and a little over a year with Sa Kwan. 122 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: But um, you know, we have other ways. We feel 123 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 1: like we can create, um chunk plays. They might not 124 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: be fifty yard plays, um, but if you can get 125 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: those chunk plays anywhere from the you know, as a 126 00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,480 Speaker 1: running where over twelve yards, we we kind of look 127 00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: for those and in the passing game over a team, 128 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,280 Speaker 1: those are field those are momentum changing plays, in fuel, 129 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,560 Speaker 1: position changing plays which create UM put you in a 130 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:06,160 Speaker 1: positive situation, not just as an offense but as a team. 131 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 1: So uh, and we're not asking guys to kind of 132 00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 1: go do go, do anything more than you know what 133 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 1: we're teaching them. Just um, you know we've got we 134 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 1: do feel like we've got guys on the field that 135 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 1: with the ball in our hands, can be explosive. And 136 00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: I think we saw some of that. Uh you know 137 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 1: on the second half, Like what was the dynamic like 138 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:27,120 Speaker 1: with Eli on the sideline as the backup and the 139 00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: headset when Daniels coming off between drives. How is it different? Yeah, 140 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 1: it's about like we talked about earlier and kind of 141 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 1: like we're in another quarterback meeting, you know, Um, we 142 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: have I said this time last week. We have, um, 143 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: great communication in that room. Uh. They're great individuals. Um, 144 00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: they're really smart quarterbacks and because of that, I think 145 00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: our team benefits because they can help they can help 146 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 1: their quarterback coach help, you know, make any little tweaks 147 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,040 Speaker 1: or changes recommendations to Pat during the course of the 148 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: game that are that you know, they can help us 149 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,280 Speaker 1: make make a play. He was doing that. Thanks. He 150 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 1: was heavily involved in looking at the play with Daniel 151 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,560 Speaker 1: and saying here's what I saw. Nothing, yeah, nothing, just 152 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 1: like we've always been doing since we've been here, about 153 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:13,640 Speaker 1: like what you guys would think
