1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,719
Speaker 1: Daniel, Where would you say that you've made the most

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:11,479
Speaker 1: improvement Uh, from the offseason through the beginning of camp. Um, Well,

3
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:14,560
Speaker 1: I mean I think, um, a lot of it is

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:18,480
Speaker 1: specific to this offense, to the scheme we're installing, and uh,

5
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: you know, players were running, So I think you know,

6
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,319
Speaker 1: every day you make progress with that kind of stuff. Um,

7
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,520
Speaker 1: as a group, you know personally you've got things you're

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 1: working on. But I think you know, collectively, as a

9
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 1: as a unit, UM, in the past game, in the

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: run game, you know you're getting on the same page.

11
00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 1: So I'd say, uh, from a chemistry standpoint, from an

12
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: overall understanding of the offense of um, you know, seeing

13
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,320
Speaker 1: things the same way, I think, you know, that's where

14
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: we've made the most progress and and that's what we'll

15
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: continue to focus on. And how comfortable are you in

16
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: your mind with this omen Um? Yeah, I'm getting more

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: comfortable every day, I think, Um, you know, we're we're

18
00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: still or in the process. We've got a lot of

19
00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 1: work to do, you know. I think, Um, that's certainly

20
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:08,480
Speaker 1: my mind's mindset. I think that's coach day Ball's mindset

21
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:10,800
Speaker 1: and the whole you know, group's mindset is We've got

22
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,959
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, and we're eager to

23
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,280
Speaker 1: do it. So I'm comfortable and and continuing to work

24
00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: to get more comfortable. How excited you to take this

25
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: offense out for sort of a test drive in the preseason?

26
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: And how much work do you think you need in

27
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: those games? You haven't you don't have a long history

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 1: of of playing in the preseason. What's your you know,

29
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: what you're feeling about what you want to get out

30
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:36,520
Speaker 1: of the next couple of weeks here? Uh? Yeah, I

31
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 1: mean I'm excited, uh for those opportunities. I think, UM,

32
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:42,640
Speaker 1: you know, like like I've said, there's there's a lot

33
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: we need to continue to work on and keep making

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: progress on. So the preseason is an opportunity to do

35
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: that in a in a game situation, UM gives the

36
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to prepare for a game. UM. Obviously it's not

37
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: the same level of UM, you know of game planning,

38
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: but UM, you know we'll prepare for that and and

39
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 1: UH and go out and try to execute UH in

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: a lot of situations. So I think that's a good

41
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: opportunity for us, and I'm excited for it as long

42
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,079
Speaker 1: as or as well as our whole group is art

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 1: Stapleton and Daniel what's going on? Not much? How you

44
00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: doing art? Good? Uh? You know, there's been a lot

45
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: of talk from the receivers about, you know, a lot

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:29,360
Speaker 1: more options on the routes that they're doing. And I think,

47
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 1: uh Dave's kind of put that a little bit to

48
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: rest the idea of it's not just freelancing at the

49
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: end of routs that there are things you guys are

50
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: looking for, uh, for the specific routes for you. How

51
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 1: much more does that well, you know, do you have

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 1: to develop that rapport with the guys to know what

53
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: you're seeing and making sure that you're seeing what they're

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 1: seeing in terms of body language or or what the

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: defense is doing on specific routes in this offense. Uh, yeah,

56
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,799
Speaker 1: I think that's important. Um. You know, like like Dave said,

57
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: it's certainly not a freelance uh, you know, typing offense

58
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 1: type of offense or mindset. You know, there's certain options

59
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,000
Speaker 1: and and certain things to look for, um, you know,

60
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: from their standpoint from mine, from mine as well. So UM,

61
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 1: you know, I think that you know gives receivers opportunity

62
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 1: to get open and and and um you know, use

63
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 1: their creativity to use their understanding of of route running

64
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: to to do that to get open. So, um, you know,

65
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 1: it takes some time. It takes you know, the reps

66
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: on the field. It takes uh messing it up and

67
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,119
Speaker 1: correcting it, you know, in the meetings and then doing

68
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: it right. And it takes you know, getting different looks

69
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: from the defense. Um you know, so you have those

70
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,000
Speaker 1: opportunities to talk about it, to correct things and and

71
00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: move on. But um, yeah, I think you know that's

72
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: something we're continuing to work on, uh through camp and

73
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 1: and uh you know that that's the passing game is

74
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: is uh you know, it's about getting on the same

75
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: page about uh me, understanding them, then understanding me, and

76
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: and um, you know, making sure we're seeing these things

77
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: the same way. Thanks Pat Leonard Daniel. Why do you

78
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 1: think David Sills is playing so well? And and do

79
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: you and he have a particularly strong chemistry? I know

80
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: you spend a lot of time together in the off season.

81
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:24,600
Speaker 1: Do you think that that pays off in times like this? Uh? Yeah, certainly. Um,

82
00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think he's a tremendously hard worker. Uh

83
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: first and foremost, I think, um, you know, anyone in

84
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: this building would tell you that and knows that very well.

85
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,719
Speaker 1: He works, um, you know, as hard as anyone. Um.

86
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: And and he's put himself in a good position. He's

87
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 1: put himself in a position to to make a lot

88
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: of plays. Um, and he's done that. He's a he's

89
00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,799
Speaker 1: a smart player. He understands what the quarterbacks looking for.

90
00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 1: He understands, um, you know, how to get open from

91
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: a receiver standpoint. He's a technician, you know when it

92
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: comes to his routes and um, yeah, so he's he's

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 1: at a high level. You know, I don't all those things,

94
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: and and uh, you know it's showing up on the

95
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,800
Speaker 1: field with with how well he's played so um. You know,

96
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 1: I think the guys in the building that you know, teammates, coaches,

97
00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: support staff, you know, I don't think people are surprised

98
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: by that watching him, you know, work day in and

99
00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: day out. Thanks Ian O'Connor. But Daniel, you've obviously worked

100
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: with a number of different coaches already in your in

101
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: your career. Just curious if Brian Dable is already in

102
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 1: the process of, in your opinion, getting the best out

103
00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: of you, and if so, how is he going about

104
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: doing that? Um? Well, I mean I think, um you know,

105
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:43,239
Speaker 1: going into year four, um you know, I think I'm

106
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: a I'm a more experienced player. I think, uh you know,

107
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: I'm a better player than and then years past. So

108
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: um you know, I feel more comfortable from um you know,

109
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:56,080
Speaker 1: from that standpoint and what I'm seeing, diagnosing what I'm

110
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 1: seeing and making decisions and um you know, as it

111
00:05:59,440 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 1: relates to this offense. In this scheme, I think, um

112
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: you know, it gives a quarterback a lot of options

113
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: and allows for um you know, a quarterback to use

114
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,640
Speaker 1: what he knows and uh distribute the ball based on that.

115
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: So um yeah, I mean I've I've enjoyed working in

116
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,000
Speaker 1: this offense um so far. And like I said, we've

117
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do, but um, it's

118
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,320
Speaker 1: been fun working with coach Dable and his staff and

119
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: and working in this offense. We have time for two more.

120
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:38,480
Speaker 1: Tom Rock Daniel, your your first start was the game

121
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: when h take one got hurt. Since then, I don't

122
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: I don't know that you've played with him, Well he's

123
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,760
Speaker 1: been what do you what have you seen this summer?

124
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 1: And how exciting is it to play with uh you know,

125
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: a fairly healthy fairly viable. Take one Barkley. Uh yeah,

126
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,480
Speaker 1: it's been fun to fun to watch him work. Um

127
00:07:00,520 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: you know, he's he's a guy, a lot like you

128
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,599
Speaker 1: know Sills, who comes in and works every day. Uh

129
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: you know, obviously training a lot together this offseason and

130
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 1: and uh you know how dedicated he is to um,

131
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, making sure he's ready to roll, uh you know,

132
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: come this time of year. So um, you know, I

133
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: haven't been surprised by how he's looked to start camp

134
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 1: and um, you know I'm excited to work with him. Um.

135
00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 1: You know, he he brings a lot to our offense

136
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: from a you know obviously running the ball and and

137
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: and using him in space to make play. So he's

138
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 1: an explosive player, UM, a smart player, a guy works

139
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: really hard. So um, from a quarterback's perspective, that's always

140
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 1: fun to work with lott onun Here for Daniel Ryan Honey,

141
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: Hey Daniel, thanks for taking my question. Uh what can

142
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: you say about the Darius Tony's development and what are

143
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 1: some differences you've seen him from last year this year? Uh? Yeah,

144
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think Katie has done a done a

145
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: great job, um you know, coming in and and uh

146
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:08,440
Speaker 1: you know, picking up on the offense, learning the scheme

147
00:08:08,520 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, um you know, playing different positions and and

148
00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 1: uh you know, bringing what he does well at the table.

149
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: He's a dangerous guy with the ball in his hands.

150
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: And and uh you know, we gotta find ways to

151
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,840
Speaker 1: to get in the ball. So, um you know, he's

152
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:26,680
Speaker 1: extremely talented player and and uh brings a special dimension

153
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 1: to our offense.
