1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,000
Speaker 1: It's Dallas week.

2
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 2: We catch up with head coach Dan Quinn to talk

3
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,160
Speaker 2: about the greatest rivalry in the NFL, Commanders versus the Cowboys,

4
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,000
Speaker 2: and of course we can get in and talk about

5
00:00:08,039 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 2: our must watch matchups so we can get this win

6
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,320
Speaker 2: at home against the Cowboys.

7
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: All that and more.

8
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:14,000
Speaker 3: A game plan.

9
00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: Welcoming and our fearless leader, head coach Dan Quinn. Dan,

10
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:27,640
Speaker 2: we talked about the last time on the game plan

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,640
Speaker 2: had some extra time ten days, how did you use it?

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: Well?

13
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 4: One good to be back with you here on the

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,760
Speaker 4: game plan on the couch where it happens. There's a

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,600
Speaker 4: lot of discussions going down here going you know, for

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 4: the players, having a few extra days in an NFL

17
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:47,599
Speaker 4: season makes a really big difference.

18
00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:49,120
Speaker 1: UH, to go through it.

19
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:51,080
Speaker 4: From the coaching side, you want to make sure you

20
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 4: can get all the information from the game, and so

21
00:00:54,480 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: we did that on Monday, and we went back to

22
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 4: tell the truth, what we liked, what we didn't, what

23
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 4: needs to get there. And so I love that the

24
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 4: team is becoming battle tested, but you do have to

25
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,880
Speaker 4: go through the hard moments to do that and you

26
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 4: grow stronger from it, and we will, so we use

27
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 4: that extra time just to make sure we can emphasize

28
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 4: some things that we want to emphasize over these next

29
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 4: two weeks prior to getting into our buy.

30
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, and so obviously tell the truth of something we

31
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:23,759
Speaker 5: did in Atlanta, like can you kind of maybe explain

32
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 5: to fans what that is and where the benefit is

33
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,039
Speaker 5: for something like.

34
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 4: That, And I want to make sure it's clear it's

35
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: good to explain it because it's not about placing blame

36
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 4: right on a player or a coach. It's just about

37
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 4: getting our football aligned exactly like we want it. And

38
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 4: telling the truth is really important, and as important is

39
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 4: being able to receive it. And that goes both ways

40
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 4: as coaches and players. Like I've learned a lot from

41
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 4: players through the years, especially from the lens of the helmet.

42
00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: I can remember that would be hard from the lens

43
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 4: of the helmet, well said, And those are important days.

44
00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 4: And like in any good relationship, you know, being able

45
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 4: to tell the truth and explain it and go through it,

46
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 4: and then once it's done, now you apply the things

47
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,399
Speaker 4: that you need to for this week, because not every

48
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 4: lesson is.

49
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: For every player.

50
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 4: Love, and as you're going through it, you know this

51
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 4: what could be true for one might not be true

52
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 4: for the other, and so that's how we recalibrate ourselves,

53
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 4: get that past us, and then get on to the next.

54
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: And talk about telling them the truth.

55
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 2: Well, we have a divisional game coming up, So what

56
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: has been the message this week to the guys?

57
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 4: More than anything, as important as our preparation is for

58
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:33,640
Speaker 4: Dallas and it's big and we'll know them, it's also

59
00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 4: has so much to do with us. We felt we

60
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 4: just missed the mark on some execution, on some things

61
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 4: that are really important. So as important as the preparation

62
00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 4: is into Dallas, a lot of this game we want

63
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 4: to make sure that when you guys watch us, you

64
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 4: see our play style, you see our finishing, you see

65
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 4: our execution at an elite level, and if we take

66
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 4: care of those things, you know, we'll like how the

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: game looks. And so that's really important to us.

68
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,119
Speaker 5: And so how much of that kind of comes off

69
00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 5: of Pittsburgh or Philly or is it just kind of

70
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 5: something you said from the whole season in terms of

71
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 5: self scouting. We want to get back to these points

72
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 5: kind of you know what I'm saying, is it is

73
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,360
Speaker 5: it just be the last two games, or.

74
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 4: Is there more of the last few games. Yeah, and

75
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 4: those ones they're hard that you go through, but you

76
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: grow during the hard times and that's what makes you

77
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,360
Speaker 4: stronger and you need those. And it's hard going on

78
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Speaker 4: the road in the short week and the vision opponent

79
00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 4: and tough game, and so the fact that you're right there,

80
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 4: ready to go toe to toe and you don't come

81
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: out on top. Those are ones like how do we

82
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 4: win this? How do you win ugly? How do you

83
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:39,880
Speaker 4: win left handed? How do you win those kind of moments,

84
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 4: But you do have to go through them logan to

85
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 4: recognize it. And so although the team was mad and upset,

86
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 4: there's things to be gained from that. And so that's

87
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,080
Speaker 4: what we wanted to emphasize going into the week. As

88
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,840
Speaker 4: important as the Dallas and its division and all the matchups,

89
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 4: still it's about how we get down And I think

90
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 4: that's a really important facet that I want our fans

91
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,119
Speaker 4: and everybody else to know, Like, yeah, the preparation is there,

92
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 4: but every time you guys watch us play, I want

93
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 4: to say, this is how we fight.

94
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: And so I love that about our team.

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 4: And although we don't always come out on top, but

96
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 4: since the opening game, we've had some losses.

97
00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:16,160
Speaker 1: After that, Tampa won.

98
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 4: But like when it comes down to the end, like

99
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 4: we're in this thing to go fight it out.

100
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: And I love that about our guys.

101
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: Now, Coach, I'm sure you notice a little bit. But

102
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 2: these Commanders Cowboys games, it's a big rivalry in the NFL.

103
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 2: It's pretty contents, have a lot of emotion behind it

104
00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 2: for you and your words. What emotions come with playing

105
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 2: your former team and playing the Dallas Cowboys as a commander.

106
00:04:36,120 --> 00:04:38,280
Speaker 4: Not as much for me, honestly, And I'll tell you why.

107
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,080
Speaker 4: When you've been around enough like I have, you have

108
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 4: good relationships with a lot of people on different teams,

109
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 4: and so you enjoy that. I happen to be, you know,

110
00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 4: coming from there. But it's still about the guys you know,

111
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 4: in between the white lines, and so I'll enjoy seeing,

112
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 4: you know, some of our friends that you know will

113
00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 4: be here, whether it be coaches or players. But ultimately, man,

114
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 4: it's about this game, this matchup, and so the Washington

115
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 4: Dallas game been going on a long time and the

116
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 4: players will see some of that history. I think it's

117
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 4: important for us to know where we want to go.

118
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:20,039
Speaker 4: We show clips from you know, all the way up

119
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:22,719
Speaker 4: through and why that rivalry and how did it become?

120
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 4: I want them now that they're a part of it.

121
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 4: We got a lot of rookies and free agents and

122
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:29,640
Speaker 4: new coaches here to know, like why this rivalry is

123
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 4: important and not every division has them. So the fact

124
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 4: that we do, like that's a really cool thing. Not

125
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 4: every you know, in college conference has all arrive, especially now,

126
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: but in this one, they've been playing this one for

127
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 4: a while and a lot of good teams, a lot

128
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: of good matchups, and so here as we're getting into

129
00:05:47,560 --> 00:05:49,839
Speaker 4: November football, like, it's really cool and to do it

130
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 4: at home?

131
00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 1: What are we talking about? Yeah?

132
00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 5: And I think the other thing I wanted to ask

133
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 5: you is like it is weird as a player going

134
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,840
Speaker 5: from oh, you know, I've played for the Commanders and

135
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 5: now I'm playing the Commanders and you're with the with

136
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,120
Speaker 5: Dallas last year.

137
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 3: Is that it's kind of like you want to go back.

138
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: And I always felt like when I was playing, you

139
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 5: wanted to really show them what's up, or because you've

140
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 5: got good relationships, it's like you're competitive with those guys.

141
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 5: It's not like a bad thing. It's like you just

142
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 5: want to put your best foot forward. Is there any

143
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 5: that going on now?

144
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,039
Speaker 4: Or you want to beat your brothers at ye? That's right, yeah,

145
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 4: like it is. But that's a competitive good way. And

146
00:06:20,279 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 4: so for me growing up the youngest of six, I

147
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 4: know what, uh you know, wanting to compete and battle

148
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 4: for it looks like so. But once you're in it,

149
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 4: then the emotions of that are different.

150
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: You know.

151
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 4: Now it's about going and battling for it. But uh, yeah,

152
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 4: that's that's just how we do business.

153
00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 3: No doubt. I'm glad you said. You know, you're kind

154
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:40,440
Speaker 3: of dust around that.

155
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 1: We're about to say that.

156
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 2: You'll show you can say whatever you want somehw turning

157
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,559
Speaker 2: the page, let's look at our defense because we found

158
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 2: some sex success against a really tough Eagles Wide Receiver Corps.

159
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: Now we have CD Landman Company.

160
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 2: Does last week's game give more confidence coming into a

161
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 2: game like this?

162
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 4: I think the development your and Mike is one of them. Mike,

163
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 4: you yeah, and you know, like and playing outside it.

164
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,320
Speaker 4: It doesn't just go on a linear course. You know,

165
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 4: development goes and it goes and then at the end

166
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 4: you look up and Mike's playing here and so but

167
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 4: you have to go through all the phases of all

168
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:17,240
Speaker 4: the players and going through it, and he'll have more challenges,

169
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 4: but I love what he stands for as a competitor,

170
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 4: and he's growing, he's getting stronger, and there's a lot

171
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: of guys that are doing that, and most of them

172
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,480
Speaker 4: hadn't played, you know, the three preseason games and eleven

173
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 4: games straight, and they're you know, so like having a

174
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 4: minute just to exhale on you know, Friday and Saturday

175
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: for them and you know, ramp back up right into

176
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 4: a division game. The guys are absolutely, you know, rare

177
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: to get going. So it does give you confidence, but

178
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 4: you have to you have to go do it again

179
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 4: and again and again, and then you don't have to

180
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 4: do anything different. You just have to play to your

181
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 4: standard and to your way. And Mike's creating that for himself.

182
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 5: And talk about Mike, because I think a lot of

183
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 5: fans say, oh, it's corner like it's but there's an inside,

184
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 5: outside element. Could you maybe tell talk about why it

185
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 5: would be so challenging for him to kind of do

186
00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 5: what he's done.

187
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 3: Through the course of yours. Yeah.

188
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 4: So I think for all of us, you get good

189
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 4: at a job and you keep working up in that

190
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 4: one job and you keep going. And so if you

191
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 4: had two jobs and how do you balance both of them?

192
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 4: And you work one job and it turns into a

193
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 4: different one. And so those are the type of people

194
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: that figure it out and they find a way. And

195
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 4: Mike is that type of competitor that he just won't

196
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 4: back off.

197
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: And we're facing a guy in Cooper Russia backup quarterback. Now,

198
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 2: normally there's not a lot of information on back of quarterback,

199
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: but you're very familiar with Cooper Russ on your words,

200
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 2: how would you characterize a quarterback like Cooper Russ.

201
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: And what we're going to see someday.

202
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a extremely fast processor of information and so

203
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: many times I can remember in practice, you know, asking

204
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: him before what do you think this coverage is going

205
00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:51,960
Speaker 4: to be? You know, as you know, how quickly could

206
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: you tell like was.

207
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 3: It like for yourself scouting you're doing the defense?

208
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 5: Oh?

209
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: Really?

210
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, because a lot of times he was running the

211
00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 4: carded defense. Yeah, what do you think Coop?

212
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 2: Man?

213
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:00,720
Speaker 5: And man?

214
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 6: Yeah?

215
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: And not cute this guy was looking.

216
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 3: You know.

217
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 4: So he was a very quick process of information. Fantastic

218
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 4: teammate for Dak and as a quarterback, that's so important

219
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 4: to know that you're supporting the person that's playing, and

220
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 4: you have to also get yourself ready to play in

221
00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,560
Speaker 4: case of So it's not you're not a coach, but

222
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,079
Speaker 4: you don't get the same game reps as everybody else does.

223
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 4: And uh, but I'd say his ability to process quickly,

224
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:32,760
Speaker 4: make fast decisions and playing the position, well, that's that's

225
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 4: what you know sticks out to me.

226
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 5: Yeah, And there hasn't been like a ton of film

227
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 5: on him, you know. In the offense, I've always found

228
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 5: kind of changes depending on the personnel, Like how do

229
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 5: you kind of anticipate, you know, like what it's going

230
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 5: to look like potentially from Mike McCarthy, you know.

231
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and so the fact that he's been in the

232
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 4: system with Mike for a while, between he and Trey Lance,

233
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: and how do you feature different plays with different guys

234
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:55,679
Speaker 4: in But uh, I know he has a lot of

235
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 4: confidence in Cooper, as he should and.

236
00:09:58,120 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 3: It's been there for a long time.

237
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: Yeah.

238
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,320
Speaker 4: So, like he beat out Kellen Moore, you know, to

239
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 4: be back up quarterback, and so Kellen was coaching Cooper.

240
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: He was like, I was like, so this is the

241
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:08,520
Speaker 4: guy that got you into coaching.

242
00:10:09,880 --> 00:10:11,719
Speaker 1: Well yeah kind of And so.

243
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 4: He's just got a really smart, you know, processing way

244
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 4: about him to play the position. And Mike's experience and

245
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 4: really talented teaching the quarterback position really feeds into that

246
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 4: with Cooper, like he's able to take the information that

247
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 4: Mike can give him and then processing quickly.

248
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 2: And coach, we got to talk about this offense. Our

249
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: quarterback Jaden Daniels. What do you expect to see from

250
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 2: him coming off backs back losses coming into this game.

251
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 4: At home, Well, I think number one, playing the position well,

252
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 4: taking care of the ball like he's done an exceptional

253
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 4: job of that. We had an interception in the game,

254
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 4: but over the you know, first eleven games, it's one

255
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 4: of the things that Jayden does well, like he puts

256
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,400
Speaker 4: it in the right spot for the right person to go.

257
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:56,080
Speaker 4: What I think you'll see from him is just the

258
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 4: full complement of him playing it outside the pocket, keeping

259
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,080
Speaker 4: his eyes down, feel running when the opportunities are there,

260
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 4: so being a true dual threat to go do that.

261
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:07,199
Speaker 4: I think you know, we'll see that, you know, come

262
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,439
Speaker 4: full circle here on the Sunday afternoon.

263
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: And coach today is my cause my cleats.

264
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 5: Now.

265
00:11:11,480 --> 00:11:13,320
Speaker 2: I don't know if every coach participates in it. But

266
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,439
Speaker 2: will you be participating getting and if so, what is

267
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: your cause?

268
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:19,720
Speaker 4: I will be And it's a it's it's an awesome program.

269
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 4: And so to be able to like give and you know,

270
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,400
Speaker 4: you find out a lot about other players too, and

271
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 4: for the other people that are doing it, and tell

272
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 4: me about that, why is that cause.

273
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Important to you?

274
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 4: And so it's a really impactful weekend for the NFL.

275
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 4: So yes, I will uh three causes that I'd like

276
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: to you know, recognize and be a part of. And

277
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 4: so one is that Bobby Ingram Foundation that will support

278
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:50,600
Speaker 4: sickle cell. The second one will be the Coach Greg

279
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:55,760
Speaker 4: Napp Memorial Fund, which supports distracted driving. And then the

280
00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 4: third one is a program called Merging Vets and Players.

281
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 1: So it's a.

282
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 4: Combination of retired combat veterans and professional ballplayers and fighters

283
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:09,680
Speaker 4: and so that peer to peer counseling that when you

284
00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 4: take off the uniform, the importance of that, and so

285
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 4: those two groups get together on a weekly basis, workout

286
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,040
Speaker 4: and share that locker room and period to peer counseling

287
00:12:19,080 --> 00:12:22,520
Speaker 4: that takes place. And so those are the three programs

288
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 4: that I'm able to shine a light on and very

289
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 4: happy to do so well.

290
00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:28,560
