1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: Um, good, good team win. Um, so we're and we're

2
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:17,040
Speaker 1: in the playoffs right, so it feels good. Yeah. I

3
00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: think your team's overall performance today, Um, I thought they

4
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 1: played a good, complimentary game. I think all the units

5
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:25,319
Speaker 1: played well. I think the coach has had them ready

6
00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 1: to play. You know, most importantly, they were ready to

7
00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:31,240
Speaker 1: play from start to finish, and you know when you're

8
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 1: playing in higher stakes games. As you guys reminded me

9
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: all week, I thought they did a good job of

10
00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 1: just focusing on the task at hand and doing the

11
00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: things we needed to do to get a win. So

12
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: it's good to get a win. Um. I don't have

13
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,600
Speaker 1: any injury stuff, so yeah, good to get a win. Coach.

14
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: You see, like Daniel put this team on his shoulders

15
00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: today when his legs it's on. Um, talk about obviously

16
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: when you saw them him and how big he came

17
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,080
Speaker 1: up in his big moment. Yeah, played well, very efficient

18
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: in the passing game, you know, use his legs well. Um,

19
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:06,959
Speaker 1: he's done that all year, though I'm not seeing it

20
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: all year from him nalonging career to this point, Daniel

21
00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: has Can you talk about what this moment kind of

22
00:01:12,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 1: meets for him? I think that'd be a good question

23
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: for him. He's pretty level headed guy, so, UM, I

24
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 1: don't want to speak for him. Yeah, he seemed especially

25
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 1: pleasing because I thought he earned it. What was the

26
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:30,479
Speaker 1: moment like for you when you got the gatorade bath

27
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: and kind of gave the crowd a fist pump there?

28
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Um it was sticky and wet. Um, yeah, that was no,

29
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 1: it was good excitement obviously. UM. You know, you work

30
00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: hard in this business to try to give yourself a

31
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: chance to play, you know, extra innings or more games. Um.

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: So we have done that, but that's you know, put

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: ourselves in a position to compete more than just one

34
00:01:54,720 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: other game. UM. So excitement, sure, definitely. What does it

35
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: mean for you? What does it mean for the program

36
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs in the first year. Um, I

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: don't know. I'm just happy we won this game, and

38
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, am I excited? Certainly? I'm excited, But um,

39
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think you just gotta stick with the

40
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: process that got you here. Um, I got to get

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 1: ready to play another game. And you know, the playoffs

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: are a different breed. You know, they're one and done,

43
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: but we still got one more game before we get

44
00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: to those. So that's what we'll We'll stick with that.

45
00:02:30,639 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: The players will have off, um tomorrow and tomorrow, Monday, Yeah,

46
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: Monday and Tuesday, and they'll be back in Wednesday. So

47
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 1: usually we don't give that at all, but I had

48
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Daniel breakdown the team, so he basically gave it to everybody, um,

49
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,800
Speaker 1: without talking to me. But so I I said, turning

50
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 1: music back down. Okay, we'll go with what Daniels said.

51
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,399
Speaker 1: Is that like in the locker room, after you see

52
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: these players, they're happy, they're excited. Um, absolutely, you know

53
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: there you work with these these guys every day. You

54
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: know a lot of them are my kids ages, so

55
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: some of them have had some challenging times here. UM.

56
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 1: So I just I'm extremely happy for the players first

57
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: and foremost, but the staff, trainers, ownership, um, the coaches.

58
00:03:18,360 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 1: But you know, our goal is never just to you know,

59
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 1: it'll never be just to make the playoffs. Um, that

60
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: will never be just our goal. Today, UM, I thought

61
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: he was ready to go. You know, Rome came up

62
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: to me. I don't know what you know. I think

63
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:38,360
Speaker 1: it was the second quarter. We had a plan of

64
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: how many reps we were gonna play him, and you

65
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: know he was communicating with Rome he feels good and

66
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: Rome said he's playing good. So, um, you know, we

67
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 1: ended up going with him until we took him out.

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: He was going back to the x ray room. Kenny

69
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: wasn't look like a team. Was that just precutionary? I

70
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: do not know that. Yeah, I don't know. I haven't

71
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: talked to anybody about the injury yet, I hope So

72
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 1: yeah to bowls. Did he pull off because he thought

73
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 1: of roughing or he lost the ball? And explanation? You

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: know what I told you ever played basketball? You haven't,

75
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 1: uh son or a daughter that are younger, you know,

76
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: and you play with him and you throw it over

77
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: their head and then they look up at the net

78
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:20,159
Speaker 1: and then you still have it. That's what I thought happened. Um,

79
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:25,599
Speaker 1: he thought he threw it him here and he hadn't

80
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 1: played and he has played and he hasn't played him

81
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: that one play. You know? Is that nice to give

82
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,360
Speaker 1: me the person again? I'm sorry. Yeah, it was a

83
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:38,240
Speaker 1: good play. Balls thrown inside, he was on it. Um.

84
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's funny because Week's done a great job

85
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: all year. He's calling a really good game and you know,

86
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: I'll just you know, chime in there once in a while.

87
00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: My two cents, not on calls. Just I'm like, hey,

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: this one's going to the house right here before he

89
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:52,840
Speaker 1: called it. So it went to the house. So on

90
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: the sack that I think McLeod had, he's going, I'm

91
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: gonna one up here here. I guarantee this as a sack,

92
00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a strip sack. But it was the sack,

93
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: so he didn't get the strip sack. So I think

94
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 1: I won that one. I say to you after the game,

95
00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: if anything, well, I'm sec congratulations. Um, you know, we

96
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: just went in there, we talked like we normally. Do

97
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,320
Speaker 1: you know there's music playing. The reason why I was

98
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: a little late, I was I couldn't sit in that gatorade,

99
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,719
Speaker 1: so I had to take a shower of Pats. I'm like, Pat,

100
00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: I'm taking a shower right now. I'm soaked, it sticky.

101
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: So um, no, he's you know, obviously he was excited. Um,

102
00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: he was happy, smiling, you know. So again I'm I'm

103
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: very thankful for the players. But again, you know, we

104
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,919
Speaker 1: made we made the playoffs. Um, and I credit the

105
00:05:42,960 --> 00:05:46,359
Speaker 1: players and the coaches and again the support staff for

106
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: all their hard work. But you know, hopefully there's a

107
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:51,560
Speaker 1: long way to go here. Um, but you gotta take

108
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: it one, one game at a time. UM, like I

109
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,800
Speaker 1: sold you for, it's a humbling league. You know, we'll

110
00:05:57,800 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: have one more and then you're you know you're losing

111
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 1: your done when you keep going. How much of your

112
00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: postgame message to the team was but we're not done?

113
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: Because it sounds like I just said, let's I say congrats,

114
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:11,479
Speaker 1: let's be a pro. Let's be smart tonight. You know,

115
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: it's okay to be happy you've achieved the first Um,

116
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,919
Speaker 1: you know, goal I probably have every NFL team is

117
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Like you don't start a season ago,

118
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: oh boy, hope we win five games. You know, I

119
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: think we're all competitors. Um. Doesn't always go that way.

120
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 1: You go through a lot of difficult times during the season.

121
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: So I said they should enjoy it. But let's be smart. UM,

122
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: let's be smart outside the building. You know, let's let's

123
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: not ruin anything that you know we've been building towards.

124
00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: And this is the most important time of year. Now

125
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: we're in January. UM, so do the right thing. You

126
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: know you did the right thing on the field. Let's

127
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,680
Speaker 1: do the right thing off the field. A lot of

128
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 1: these players have lost a lot before you got here.

129
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:53,600
Speaker 1: What is what was it like to see in the

130
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: lot of the the room, you know, the joy of some

131
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: of those veterans especially you know it all yeah, Kim

132
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: every you know. And obviously this was a big win

133
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: because it you know, we clinched the playoff spot. But

134
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: you know that's the that's what I like most about coaching,

135
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: his relationships. But you know seeing that, you know that

136
00:07:13,720 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: two to three minutes in the locker room when it's

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: just a team, um, of all the hard work they

138
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 1: put into it to try to get a result that

139
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: you hope for. And I'm I'm very thankful and appreciative

140
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: for all the players, um, the staff, the coaches. But

141
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: you know, see smile, smiles on the faces. You know,

142
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that's the best time of the week for me, is

143
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: two to three minutes after a game when you watch

144
00:07:37,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: these these people put so much into it to try

145
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: to get a result that you want and it's hard

146
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:46,400
Speaker 1: every week to do. UM, So enjoy it and then

147
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: let's get back. UM. I want to come back on Tuesday,

148
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: but we'll come back on Wednesday. You're in a position

149
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: now I think you're locked into the six and if

150
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:56,600
Speaker 1: I'm not mistake, you would better, you would know better

151
00:07:56,640 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: than me. Probably maybe somebody can correct me that knows

152
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: what is it? Pat Jordan had to jump Daniels, giving them,

153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: giving them a couple of days off. Any thought too,

154
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: if we got to pull back on some guys this

155
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: week were no nonst No, No, you get rest after

156
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: the season. It's a long season. This is a it's

157
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: a fun part of the season. You know, it's fun

158
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,280
Speaker 1: part of the season. When you're winning. You're a bad

159
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,680
Speaker 1: part of the season when you're losing. I want to

160
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,400
Speaker 1: take a couple more, a couple more what you see

161
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: aught about it. Yet you're gonna play all the starters.

162
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,000
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna enjoy this one right here, go home

163
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: and smoke a cigar and hang out with my family.

164
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: The front most of the time, Daniel had a clean

165
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: pocket and off the line going downhill on the second

166
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: to Dave, we can talk about that. Yeah again, that's

167
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 1: where the game starts is upfront. Um. The guys don't

168
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,839
Speaker 1: normally get their names in the paper a bunch of

169
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: articles written about them, but they do the already worked

170
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 1: that they need to do. Um and they played some

171
00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:06,000
Speaker 1: really good guys up front. Those two guy tackles are

172
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: really good football players. UM. And I think, what he

173
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: didn't have a stack we have. He didn't get sacked

174
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,000
Speaker 1: right now. And I thought Daniel made some loose plays

175
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: with his feet to you know, if a couple of

176
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: action type passes that he chose to run on a

177
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: couple of them and made a couple of good reads

178
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 1: on some runs and you know, breed to finish it

179
00:09:22,760 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: off pretty good. I thought him, right, well, we're running hard,

180
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 1: you know, and some of those outside runs and s

181
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: Kwan was running hard, you know sa kwanas you know,

182
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: he's always come to the sideline. You can see it

183
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: in his eyes every time he touched his boy. He

184
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,320
Speaker 1: wants to go eighty. So I'm like, hey, buddy, that

185
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,960
Speaker 1: was a really good two yard run, and he puts

186
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,280
Speaker 1: relaxed pill. It's a good two yard run. It will come.

187
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,079
Speaker 1: Let's not go outside of of doing what we need

188
00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 1: to do. UM. But again, it was a good team

189
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: when everybody. Everybody contributed. UM, everybody contributed. Today. When you

190
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,000
Speaker 1: think about the beginning of the season, the style of

191
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: playing which you wanted to know what you wanted the

192
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: team to be known for. Do you feel as though

193
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: that's how they're playing right now? Yeah? I mean we

194
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: try to be smart, tough, dependable. UM, be in the

195
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: right spot, be where you're supposed to be when you're

196
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: supposed to be there. Um, have the playbook down for

197
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 1: that particular week, understand your opponent, um, and then fight

198
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: through whether it's some mental toughness things throughout the week

199
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:19,960
Speaker 1: or physical toughness things. Again. UM no, I'm not gonna

200
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,839
Speaker 1: get it. Stand up here and give a critique of

201
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: the season. I do appreciate the question, but uh, you know,

202
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: I think we're competing, we're playing hard. It's not always perfect.

203
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: Certainly things that we could all do better. Um, if

204
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:36,600
Speaker 1: I think they played a good game today. Quarterback is quarterback?

205
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: Did you want to ask something? I'm sorry, you're good.

206
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: The quarterback is the most impac guy on the team.

207
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 1: Ready touches the ball more than any other player every play,

208
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,959
Speaker 1: every play offensive. How much is that, of course she

209
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: doesn't touch it on defense? How much is that a box?

210
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: You know that's for Daniel to sort of check there,

211
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: like okay, you know people put wins and losses on quarterbacks,

212
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: you know, in out he laid. I mean it's the same.

213
00:11:02,160 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: I'm a Look, he played a good game. He's been

214
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 1: playing good games for a while since we've been here. Um,

215
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: so he's making the right decisions, throwing a where he

216
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: needs to throw it, picking off with his legs, playing

217
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,520
Speaker 1: good situational football. That's what we need from weekend a

218
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: week out. Okay, what did you anything? Anything else? What

219
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,800
Speaker 1: did you? What did you say to hottie on the sideline?

220
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,319
Speaker 1: But so then you you said something to him, You

221
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: turn around and then he sprints back to the gatorad.

222
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,559
Speaker 1: I can't remember. I don't remember what I don't. I

223
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:32,920
Speaker 1: don't when I talk to hotties. I forget half the

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: things I say to him.
