WEBVTT - Gearing up for Dallas | HC Dan Quinn Previews Cowboys Vs. Commanders | The Gameplan | Washington Commanders

0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.000
<v Speaker 1>It's Dallas week.

0:00:01.040 --> 0:00:02.760
<v Speaker 2>We catch up with head coach Dan Quinn to talk

0:00:02.800 --> 0:00:06.160
<v Speaker 2>about the greatest rivalry in the NFL, Commanders versus the Cowboys,

0:00:06.200 --> 0:00:08.000
<v Speaker 2>and of course we can get in and talk about

0:00:08.039 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>our must watch matchups so we can get this win

0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:12.320
<v Speaker 2>at home against the Cowboys.

0:00:12.360 --> 0:00:12.880
<v Speaker 1>All that and more.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 3>A game plan.

0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 2>Welcoming and our fearless leader, head coach Dan Quinn. Dan,

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 2>we talked about the last time on the game plan

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:30.640
<v Speaker 2>had some extra time ten days, how did you use it?

0:00:31.080 --> 0:00:31.280
<v Speaker 1>Well?

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 4>One good to be back with you here on the

0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.760
<v Speaker 4>game plan on the couch where it happens. There's a

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:41.600
<v Speaker 4>lot of discussions going down here going you know, for

0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 4>the players, having a few extra days in an NFL

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:47.599
<v Speaker 4>season makes a really big difference.

0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:49.120
<v Speaker 1>UH, to go through it.

0:00:49.159 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 4>From the coaching side, you want to make sure you

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:54.400
<v Speaker 4>can get all the information from the game, and so

0:00:54.480 --> 0:00:56.440
<v Speaker 4>we did that on Monday, and we went back to

0:00:56.480 --> 0:00:58.240
<v Speaker 4>tell the truth, what we liked, what we didn't, what

0:00:58.320 --> 0:01:00.520
<v Speaker 4>needs to get there. And so I love that the

0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:04.160
<v Speaker 4>team is becoming battle tested, but you do have to

0:01:04.160 --> 0:01:06.880
<v Speaker 4>go through the hard moments to do that and you

0:01:06.920 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 4>grow stronger from it, and we will, so we use

0:01:10.040 --> 0:01:12.360
<v Speaker 4>that extra time just to make sure we can emphasize

0:01:12.360 --> 0:01:15.640
<v Speaker 4>some things that we want to emphasize over these next

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 4>two weeks prior to getting into our buy.

0:01:18.360 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, and so obviously tell the truth of something we

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.759
<v Speaker 5>did in Atlanta, like can you kind of maybe explain

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.520
<v Speaker 5>to fans what that is and where the benefit is

0:01:26.560 --> 0:01:27.039
<v Speaker 5>for something like.

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 4>That, And I want to make sure it's clear it's

0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.040
<v Speaker 4>good to explain it because it's not about placing blame

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:33.480
<v Speaker 4>right on a player or a coach. It's just about

0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 4>getting our football aligned exactly like we want it. And

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:41.360
<v Speaker 4>telling the truth is really important, and as important is

0:01:41.400 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 4>being able to receive it. And that goes both ways

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.800
<v Speaker 4>as coaches and players. Like I've learned a lot from

0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:50.000
<v Speaker 4>players through the years, especially from the lens of the helmet.

0:01:50.320 --> 0:01:53.320
<v Speaker 4>I can remember that would be hard from the lens

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:59.680
<v Speaker 4>of the helmet, well said, And those are important days.

0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:02.440
<v Speaker 4>And like in any good relationship, you know, being able

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 4>to tell the truth and explain it and go through it,

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:07.640
<v Speaker 4>and then once it's done, now you apply the things

0:02:07.680 --> 0:02:09.399
<v Speaker 4>that you need to for this week, because not every

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:10.120
<v Speaker 4>lesson is.

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:10.880
<v Speaker 1>For every player.

0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 4>Love, and as you're going through it, you know this

0:02:13.000 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 4>what could be true for one might not be true

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 4>for the other, and so that's how we recalibrate ourselves,

0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:20.240
<v Speaker 4>get that past us, and then get on to the next.

0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:21.320
<v Speaker 1>And talk about telling them the truth.

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 2>Well, we have a divisional game coming up, So what

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 2>has been the message this week to the guys?

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.320
<v Speaker 4>More than anything, as important as our preparation is for

0:02:29.440 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 4>Dallas and it's big and we'll know them, it's also

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:36.280
<v Speaker 4>has so much to do with us. We felt we

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:39.120
<v Speaker 4>just missed the mark on some execution, on some things

0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 4>that are really important. So as important as the preparation

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 4>is into Dallas, a lot of this game we want

0:02:45.240 --> 0:02:47.400
<v Speaker 4>to make sure that when you guys watch us, you

0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 4>see our play style, you see our finishing, you see

0:02:50.000 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 4>our execution at an elite level, and if we take

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 4>care of those things, you know, we'll like how the

0:02:57.919 --> 0:03:00.000
<v Speaker 4>game looks. And so that's really important to us.

0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:02.119
<v Speaker 5>And so how much of that kind of comes off

0:03:02.160 --> 0:03:04.280
<v Speaker 5>of Pittsburgh or Philly or is it just kind of

0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:06.160
<v Speaker 5>something you said from the whole season in terms of

0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 5>self scouting. We want to get back to these points

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 5>kind of you know what I'm saying, is it is

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.360
<v Speaker 5>it just be the last two games, or.

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.320
<v Speaker 4>Is there more of the last few games. Yeah, and

0:03:14.400 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 4>those ones they're hard that you go through, but you

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 4>grow during the hard times and that's what makes you

0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.360
<v Speaker 4>stronger and you need those. And it's hard going on

0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 4>the road in the short week and the vision opponent

0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:29.959
<v Speaker 4>and tough game, and so the fact that you're right there,

0:03:30.040 --> 0:03:31.640
<v Speaker 4>ready to go toe to toe and you don't come

0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 4>out on top. Those are ones like how do we

0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 4>win this? How do you win ugly? How do you

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 4>win left handed? How do you win those kind of moments,

0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 4>But you do have to go through them logan to

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 4>recognize it. And so although the team was mad and upset,

0:03:47.760 --> 0:03:49.960
<v Speaker 4>there's things to be gained from that. And so that's

0:03:49.960 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 4>what we wanted to emphasize going into the week. As

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:55.840
<v Speaker 4>important as the Dallas and its division and all the matchups,

0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:58.040
<v Speaker 4>still it's about how we get down And I think

0:03:58.040 --> 0:04:00.760
<v Speaker 4>that's a really important facet that I want our fans

0:04:00.800 --> 0:04:03.119
<v Speaker 4>and everybody else to know, Like, yeah, the preparation is there,

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:05.760
<v Speaker 4>but every time you guys watch us play, I want

0:04:05.760 --> 0:04:06.960
<v Speaker 4>to say, this is how we fight.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:08.800
<v Speaker 1>And so I love that about our team.

0:04:09.280 --> 0:04:11.640
<v Speaker 4>And although we don't always come out on top, but

0:04:11.880 --> 0:04:14.600
<v Speaker 4>since the opening game, we've had some losses.

0:04:15.200 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 1>After that, Tampa won.

0:04:16.200 --> 0:04:18.000
<v Speaker 4>But like when it comes down to the end, like

0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 4>we're in this thing to go fight it out.

0:04:19.880 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 1>And I love that about our guys.

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:23.159
<v Speaker 2>Now, Coach, I'm sure you notice a little bit. But

0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:26.159
<v Speaker 2>these Commanders Cowboys games, it's a big rivalry in the NFL.

0:04:26.480 --> 0:04:29.920
<v Speaker 2>It's pretty contents, have a lot of emotion behind it

0:04:30.040 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 2>for you and your words. What emotions come with playing

0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.080
<v Speaker 2>your former team and playing the Dallas Cowboys as a commander.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.280
<v Speaker 4>Not as much for me, honestly, And I'll tell you why.

0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 4>When you've been around enough like I have, you have

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 4>good relationships with a lot of people on different teams,

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.960
<v Speaker 4>and so you enjoy that. I happen to be, you know,

0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 4>coming from there. But it's still about the guys you know,

0:04:54.040 --> 0:04:57.279
<v Speaker 4>in between the white lines, and so I'll enjoy seeing,

0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.240
<v Speaker 4>you know, some of our friends that you know will

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:04.440
<v Speaker 4>be here, whether it be coaches or players. But ultimately, man,

0:05:04.480 --> 0:05:08.320
<v Speaker 4>it's about this game, this matchup, and so the Washington

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Dallas game been going on a long time and the

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 4>players will see some of that history. I think it's

0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.359
<v Speaker 4>important for us to know where we want to go.

0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.039
<v Speaker 4>We show clips from you know, all the way up

0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 4>through and why that rivalry and how did it become?

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.039
<v Speaker 4>I want them now that they're a part of it.

0:05:25.040 --> 0:05:26.680
<v Speaker 4>We got a lot of rookies and free agents and

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 4>new coaches here to know, like why this rivalry is

0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:33.240
<v Speaker 4>important and not every division has them. So the fact

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.440
<v Speaker 4>that we do, like that's a really cool thing. Not

0:05:35.520 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 4>every you know, in college conference has all arrive, especially now,

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 4>but in this one, they've been playing this one for

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:45.240
<v Speaker 4>a while and a lot of good teams, a lot

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 4>of good matchups, and so here as we're getting into

0:05:47.560 --> 0:05:49.839
<v Speaker 4>November football, like, it's really cool and to do it

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:50.200
<v Speaker 4>at home?

0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:52.000
<v Speaker 1>What are we talking about? Yeah?

0:05:52.040 --> 0:05:53.360
<v Speaker 5>And I think the other thing I wanted to ask

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:55.479
<v Speaker 5>you is like it is weird as a player going

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.840
<v Speaker 5>from oh, you know, I've played for the Commanders and

0:05:57.839 --> 0:06:00.240
<v Speaker 5>now I'm playing the Commanders and you're with the with

0:06:00.360 --> 0:06:01.120
<v Speaker 5>Dallas last year.

0:06:01.160 --> 0:06:02.800
<v Speaker 3>Is that it's kind of like you want to go back.

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:04.479
<v Speaker 5>And I always felt like when I was playing, you

0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 5>wanted to really show them what's up, or because you've

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 5>got good relationships, it's like you're competitive with those guys.

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:10.400
<v Speaker 5>It's not like a bad thing. It's like you just

0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 5>want to put your best foot forward. Is there any

0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:13.000
<v Speaker 5>that going on now?

0:06:13.080 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 4>Or you want to beat your brothers at ye? That's right, yeah,

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:20.160
<v Speaker 4>like it is. But that's a competitive good way. And

0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:22.440
<v Speaker 4>so for me growing up the youngest of six, I

0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.160
<v Speaker 4>know what, uh you know, wanting to compete and battle

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:28.680
<v Speaker 4>for it looks like so. But once you're in it,

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 4>then the emotions of that are different.

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>You know.

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:34.960
<v Speaker 4>Now it's about going and battling for it. But uh, yeah,

0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.159
<v Speaker 4>that's that's just how we do business.

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.160
<v Speaker 3>No doubt. I'm glad you said. You know, you're kind

0:06:39.160 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 3>of dust around that.

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>We're about to say that.

0:06:42.760 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 2>You'll show you can say whatever you want somehw turning

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.559
<v Speaker 2>the page, let's look at our defense because we found

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:50.200
<v Speaker 2>some sex success against a really tough Eagles Wide Receiver Corps.

0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Now we have CD Landman Company.

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 2>Does last week's game give more confidence coming into a

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 2>game like this?

0:06:56.040 --> 0:06:59.039
<v Speaker 4>I think the development your and Mike is one of them. Mike,

0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:02.760
<v Speaker 4>you yeah, and you know, like and playing outside it.

0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't just go on a linear course. You know,

0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 4>development goes and it goes and then at the end

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 4>you look up and Mike's playing here and so but

0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 4>you have to go through all the phases of all

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 4>the players and going through it, and he'll have more challenges,

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 4>but I love what he stands for as a competitor,

0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 4>and he's growing, he's getting stronger, and there's a lot

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 4>of guys that are doing that, and most of them

0:07:24.760 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 4>hadn't played, you know, the three preseason games and eleven

0:07:27.520 --> 0:07:30.320
<v Speaker 4>games straight, and they're you know, so like having a

0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 4>minute just to exhale on you know, Friday and Saturday

0:07:34.560 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 4>for them and you know, ramp back up right into

0:07:36.960 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 4>a division game. The guys are absolutely, you know, rare

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 4>to get going. So it does give you confidence, but

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:45.600
<v Speaker 4>you have to you have to go do it again

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 4>and again and again, and then you don't have to

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 4>do anything different. You just have to play to your

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.960
<v Speaker 4>standard and to your way. And Mike's creating that for himself.

0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:55.600
<v Speaker 5>And talk about Mike, because I think a lot of

0:07:55.600 --> 0:07:58.600
<v Speaker 5>fans say, oh, it's corner like it's but there's an inside,

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 5>outside element. Could you maybe tell talk about why it

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:04.200
<v Speaker 5>would be so challenging for him to kind of do

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:05.040
<v Speaker 5>what he's done.

0:08:05.080 --> 0:08:06.120
<v Speaker 3>Through the course of yours. Yeah.

0:08:06.160 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 4>So I think for all of us, you get good

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:10.720
<v Speaker 4>at a job and you keep working up in that

0:08:10.800 --> 0:08:13.320
<v Speaker 4>one job and you keep going. And so if you

0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 4>had two jobs and how do you balance both of them?

0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 4>And you work one job and it turns into a

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.760
<v Speaker 4>different one. And so those are the type of people

0:08:21.800 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 4>that figure it out and they find a way. And

0:08:24.640 --> 0:08:27.600
<v Speaker 4>Mike is that type of competitor that he just won't

0:08:27.640 --> 0:08:28.160
<v Speaker 4>back off.

0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:32.640
<v Speaker 2>And we're facing a guy in Cooper Russia backup quarterback. Now,

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 2>normally there's not a lot of information on back of quarterback,

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 2>but you're very familiar with Cooper Russ on your words,

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:39.480
<v Speaker 2>how would you characterize a quarterback like Cooper Russ.

0:08:39.320 --> 0:08:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And what we're going to see someday.

0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's a extremely fast processor of information and so

0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:47.280
<v Speaker 4>many times I can remember in practice, you know, asking

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.120
<v Speaker 4>him before what do you think this coverage is going

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.960
<v Speaker 4>to be? You know, as you know, how quickly could

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:52.880
<v Speaker 4>you tell like was.

0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:55.000
<v Speaker 3>It like for yourself scouting you're doing the defense?

0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:55.200
<v Speaker 5>Oh?

0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 3>Really?

0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.400
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, because a lot of times he was running the

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:00.240
<v Speaker 4>carded defense. Yeah, what do you think Coop?

0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>Man?

0:09:00.480 --> 0:09:00.720
<v Speaker 5>And man?

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah?

0:09:01.480 --> 0:09:03.600
<v Speaker 1>And not cute this guy was looking.

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:03.680
<v Speaker 3>You know.

0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:09.079
<v Speaker 4>So he was a very quick process of information. Fantastic

0:09:09.120 --> 0:09:12.600
<v Speaker 4>teammate for Dak and as a quarterback, that's so important

0:09:13.120 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 4>to know that you're supporting the person that's playing, and

0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 4>you have to also get yourself ready to play in

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 4>case of So it's not you're not a coach, but

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:25.079
<v Speaker 4>you don't get the same game reps as everybody else does.

0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 4>And uh, but I'd say his ability to process quickly,

0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 4>make fast decisions and playing the position, well, that's that's

0:09:32.800 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 4>what you know sticks out to me.

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, And there hasn't been like a ton of film

0:09:35.960 --> 0:09:37.800
<v Speaker 5>on him, you know. In the offense, I've always found

0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:40.120
<v Speaker 5>kind of changes depending on the personnel, Like how do

0:09:40.160 --> 0:09:42.760
<v Speaker 5>you kind of anticipate, you know, like what it's going

0:09:42.840 --> 0:09:45.080
<v Speaker 5>to look like potentially from Mike McCarthy, you know.

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:46.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and so the fact that he's been in the

0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 4>system with Mike for a while, between he and Trey Lance,

0:09:50.960 --> 0:09:54.000
<v Speaker 4>and how do you feature different plays with different guys

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:55.679
<v Speaker 4>in But uh, I know he has a lot of

0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.080
<v Speaker 4>confidence in Cooper, as he should and.

0:09:58.120 --> 0:09:59.079
<v Speaker 3>It's been there for a long time.

0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 4>So, like he beat out Kellen Moore, you know, to

0:10:02.320 --> 0:10:05.320
<v Speaker 4>be back up quarterback, and so Kellen was coaching Cooper.

0:10:05.840 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 4>He was like, I was like, so this is the

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:08.520
<v Speaker 4>guy that got you into coaching.

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:11.719
<v Speaker 1>Well yeah kind of And so.

0:10:13.360 --> 0:10:18.400
<v Speaker 4>He's just got a really smart, you know, processing way

0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:22.840
<v Speaker 4>about him to play the position. And Mike's experience and

0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 4>really talented teaching the quarterback position really feeds into that

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.520
<v Speaker 4>with Cooper, like he's able to take the information that

0:10:29.600 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 4>Mike can give him and then processing quickly.

0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:33.640
<v Speaker 2>And coach, we got to talk about this offense. Our

0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 2>quarterback Jaden Daniels. What do you expect to see from

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:38.559
<v Speaker 2>him coming off backs back losses coming into this game.

0:10:38.360 --> 0:10:41.280
<v Speaker 4>At home, Well, I think number one, playing the position well,

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.480
<v Speaker 4>taking care of the ball like he's done an exceptional

0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.280
<v Speaker 4>job of that. We had an interception in the game,

0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.199
<v Speaker 4>but over the you know, first eleven games, it's one

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 4>of the things that Jayden does well, like he puts

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.400
<v Speaker 4>it in the right spot for the right person to go.

0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:56.080
<v Speaker 4>What I think you'll see from him is just the

0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.080
<v Speaker 4>full complement of him playing it outside the pocket, keeping

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:02.080
<v Speaker 4>his eyes down, feel running when the opportunities are there,

0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:04.800
<v Speaker 4>so being a true dual threat to go do that.

0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:07.199
<v Speaker 4>I think you know, we'll see that, you know, come

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.439
<v Speaker 4>full circle here on the Sunday afternoon.

0:11:09.040 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>And coach today is my cause my cleats.

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 5>Now.

0:11:11.480 --> 0:11:13.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if every coach participates in it. But

0:11:13.320 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 2>will you be participating getting and if so, what is

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 2>your cause?

0:11:16.160 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 4>I will be And it's a it's it's an awesome program.

0:11:19.880 --> 0:11:23.560
<v Speaker 4>And so to be able to like give and you know,

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 4>you find out a lot about other players too, and

0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 4>for the other people that are doing it, and tell

0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:30.480
<v Speaker 4>me about that, why is that cause.

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Important to you?

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 4>And so it's a really impactful weekend for the NFL.

0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:39.320
<v Speaker 4>So yes, I will uh three causes that I'd like

0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 4>to you know, recognize and be a part of. And

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:46.400
<v Speaker 4>so one is that Bobby Ingram Foundation that will support

0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.600
<v Speaker 4>sickle cell. The second one will be the Coach Greg

0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Napp Memorial Fund, which supports distracted driving. And then the

0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:59.400
<v Speaker 4>third one is a program called Merging Vets and Players.

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So it's a.

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:06.439
<v Speaker 4>Combination of retired combat veterans and professional ballplayers and fighters

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:09.680
<v Speaker 4>and so that peer to peer counseling that when you

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:12.800
<v Speaker 4>take off the uniform, the importance of that, and so

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:16.280
<v Speaker 4>those two groups get together on a weekly basis, workout

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.040
<v Speaker 4>and share that locker room and period to peer counseling

0:12:19.080 --> 0:12:22.520
<v Speaker 4>that takes place. And so those are the three programs

0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:25.720
<v Speaker 4>that I'm able to shine a light on and very

0:12:25.720 --> 0:12:26.719
<v Speaker 4>happy to do so well.

0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:28.560
