1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:04,040 Speaker 1: Couldn't Daniel make the biggest strides from the spring to 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: where's that now? Probably consistency and um, the corrections that 3 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:12,960 Speaker 1: we've asked him to make, uh, he makes them really fast. 4 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:15,560 Speaker 1: You know some of them are not necessarily corrections, but 5 00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:19,040 Speaker 1: maybe doing things just a little differently our style more 6 00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,000 Speaker 1: more our style. He's really good at that. Um. So 7 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 1: those have been the things that I think he's kind 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,040 Speaker 1: of picked up where he left off at the end 9 00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: of O T S. Throw he had to Perkins yesterday 10 00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,600 Speaker 1: the best he's had this summer. It was one of them. Yeah. 11 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: I mean he's um, he's been throwing the ball deep 12 00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:38,559 Speaker 1: very well. Um, he's got a better understanding of the 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,639 Speaker 1: routes that were running across the board. Um. And then 14 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 1: you know, the hit a halfback like that down the 15 00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,200 Speaker 1: field was was pretty impressive for you know, any rookie 16 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 1: or veteran quarterball that was his day. In general, a 17 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: stuments us, it seems like, you know, we look at 18 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 1: the numbers, we see all the completions, and it seemed like, oh, 19 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:56,520 Speaker 1: that's really good. Dam Yeah. So when we're looking at practice, 20 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: we're looking at accuracy, timing decisions, and then you know, 21 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,479 Speaker 1: technique for the quarterback. It's mostly footwork. Um, He's been 22 00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: really consistent with his decision making. Um, yesterday is yeah. 23 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,560 Speaker 1: I mean when he when he has some big plays, 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: it's a it's always feels like a better day. But um, 25 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:16,440 Speaker 1: you know there's some of sometimes, as you guys know 26 00:01:16,520 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: in the game, some of the best plays made by 27 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:22,360 Speaker 1: quarterbacks or decisions where you get yourself get your team 28 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,160 Speaker 1: out of trouble, or you hit a hot or a 29 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: blitz that's maybe a short throw and so um, yeah, 30 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: I mean that was a good day. But he's had 31 00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,120 Speaker 1: maybe other than you know, one one day where he 32 00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,840 Speaker 1: had a couple um four throws. He's been really consistent 33 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: with the deep ball accuracy. You've obviously all known it. 34 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about it since the spring. Is 35 00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: it just simply armed talent or do you see things 36 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 1: that he's doing behind the scenes that's allowing allowing him 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 1: to take those shots and complete them. Well, you know, 38 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: visioned to make sure you're too you're going to the 39 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: right guy in in timing, okay, getting the ball there 40 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: on time, and then technique you know, Um, so if 41 00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,639 Speaker 1: you're doing all three of those things and you understand. Um, 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta put a little more touch on the ball. Um. Obviously, 43 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:11,720 Speaker 1: the more touch you put on the ball, the more 44 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: margin of air you have. And then sometimes you can't 45 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 1: because you've got somebody else coming over there and trying 46 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,240 Speaker 1: to make a play. So there's certain um ways you 47 00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,239 Speaker 1: throw deep balls to get the ball completed, and he's 48 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,639 Speaker 1: got a much better feel for that. And the other 49 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: thing too, is just kind of trusting the guys. You know, 50 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: I think sometimes he wants to be so perfect that 51 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 1: he was trying to, for lack of a better um phrase, 52 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: trying to catch it for those guys instead of saying, hey, 53 00:02:34,919 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: you know, they got there, they're fast, they can go 54 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,560 Speaker 1: get it. Just air it out there and throw it. Like, 55 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 1: what kind of changes have you seen in say Kwan 56 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,040 Speaker 1: potential improvements from year one to year two? And what 57 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:48,359 Speaker 1: do you consider it a good encore for what throw it? 58 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Last year? Yeah, I mean just um, obviously the production 59 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:53,839 Speaker 1: was really was really good. We want to have that 60 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: as selfishly, we want to have the same production, but 61 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: in different ways. You know, some of those yards last 62 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,720 Speaker 1: year we were just talking maybe we're because we were behind. Well, 63 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 1: we need to we want to have that production when 64 00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,120 Speaker 1: we're when we have the lead or or the games 65 00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: they're close, which they're you know, that's where we want 66 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: to be each in every game. UM. I would I 67 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: would say his other than the consistency which has improved 68 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 1: his knowledge, but he's worked. You can tell his focus 69 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,280 Speaker 1: on blitz pickups. Um. And that'll be probably the first 70 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: thing he'll tell you if he hadn't told you already. UM. 71 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: And then you know we want to, you know, as 72 00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: as we did a little bit last year, want to 73 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 1: continue to use him in as many ways as we can. Um. 74 00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:34,040 Speaker 1: And he's going to be obviously a huge part of 75 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:36,720 Speaker 1: our offense and make the guys up front look better, 76 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 1: but in turn they can help him make him look better. 77 00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: And same thing with Elion just start just as one 78 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:45,160 Speaker 1: following that is he has he has he outwardly shown that, 79 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, it's a little bit more leadership. The anti 80 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: try is he is he asserting himself a little bit 81 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: more with some confidence? I think so yeah. But but 82 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: I think as we all know, you know, the best 83 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: way you can leads you got to do it within 84 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,400 Speaker 1: your personality. So if your vocal and that's your personality, 85 00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: but if you're not. Then, I think the biggest thing 86 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 1: we talked to our guys about is being a guy 87 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 1: that you can that when your teammates, when you walk 88 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,440 Speaker 1: into building, your teammates know they can count on you 89 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 1: to be dependable each and every day. And yes, um, 90 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean the enthusiasm. And he's got a little enthusiasm 91 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,640 Speaker 1: during the course of practice, and that becomes contagious for 92 00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:21,279 Speaker 1: guys that maybe aren't Mike back to Daniel Jones's arms straight. 93 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: It seems so obvious out here that he's throwing the 94 00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 1: deep ball. Well, but before the draft, that common knock 95 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,440 Speaker 1: on him was could he throw the deep ball? I 96 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:31,839 Speaker 1: guess my question is how did you guys see what 97 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,480 Speaker 1: maybe some other people didn't. Was it just so many 98 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: live exposures to him? And at what point is there 99 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,000 Speaker 1: a point where you're like, I gotta make sure I 100 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:42,280 Speaker 1: can I can trust what my eyes are seeing. Well, 101 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:44,760 Speaker 1: I think number one. I mean, we we've talked a 102 00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:47,400 Speaker 1: lot about him, and for good reason. Um, he has 103 00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 1: still hadn't played a game. So um, that's the other 104 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,520 Speaker 1: thing you know we're gonna look at is taking what 105 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: he's learned so far and applying that to the game. Uh. 106 00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: I think you know, just just in general, and I 107 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,080 Speaker 1: think any coach would probably tell you this. UM that 108 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: evaluates quarterbacks, I think you kind of got to look 109 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,599 Speaker 1: at things on tape and um, it might you don't 110 00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,400 Speaker 1: just look at statistics. You look at his timing. You 111 00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 1: look at his decision making and his accuracy if he's 112 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,760 Speaker 1: getting the ball out there where it needs to be. UM. 113 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: I think the workouts. That's one. That's one thing that 114 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:22,599 Speaker 1: workouts can really help on a deep ball. Number one, 115 00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:24,480 Speaker 1: his arm strength, you know, kind of see it in person. 116 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 1: I think that's really important. And obviously we were there 117 00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,039 Speaker 1: at his workout, which I thought he did a really 118 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: good job of, and you can kind of get a 119 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 1: sense of when he needs to get rid of the 120 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 1: ball and uh, and how he needs to get to 121 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: get rid of it. Um. Maybe that you don't quite 122 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: see in college on on college tape or if you 123 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: were kind of watching on video. Patson Daniel is allowed 124 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: to make mistakes. Just make it again. Have you seen that? 125 00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: And and so what has he done twice perhaps that 126 00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:56,560 Speaker 1: he shouldn't. I mean that's not just rookies, but you 127 00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:00,720 Speaker 1: know some veterans too. So I think he's probably one 128 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: of the one of the better guys I've coached so far. 129 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 1: Again it's just early, but um of not making that 130 00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 1: same mistake, and it's not just not not necessarily the 131 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 1: mental mistake, but the thing that kind of has caught 132 00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,679 Speaker 1: my eye has been the physical things that we've asked 133 00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: him to kind of maybe, um, do that cater towards us, 134 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: maybe that he wasn't doing in college. Maybe you know, 135 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,480 Speaker 1: with the rhythm of his drops, you know, Um, that's 136 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 1: at times we'll have you know, well, you know in 137 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 1: a duke, you know, he was doing a lot of 138 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 1: empty and getting the ball out really fast where you're 139 00:06:33,120 --> 00:06:35,000 Speaker 1: kind of catching it and maybe a one step drop, 140 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:38,000 Speaker 1: whereas here at times will extend that drop a little bit. 141 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: So if you're not doing a lot of that, Um, 142 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,119 Speaker 1: it was a little bit new to him early. Um, 143 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 1: and uh he was you know, it was a little 144 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,719 Speaker 1: bit not awkward, but just something that he had to 145 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: work on. And you know, the next day, all of 146 00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,599 Speaker 1: a sudden come back and like it is this the 147 00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: same guy that you know that we had yesterday. So 148 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 1: those are the things that are really you know, again 149 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: he hadn't played a game, but they're kind of exciting 150 00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: to see. You want to now you want to see 151 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:03,279 Speaker 1: him apply those during the course of the game, when 152 00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:05,240 Speaker 1: all of a sudden it's a little more, you know, 153 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: things are a little more um, regular season like or 154 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: so to speak with as opposed just practice where you 155 00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: can where the coaches back there correcting you. Everybody want more. 156 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:16,920 Speaker 1: And he told us the other day he was with 157 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: the baseball trainer. Can you in what ways can you 158 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: tell his offseason training was different, if at all? Yeah, 159 00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: and I think it is. I mean, his his the 160 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: results of his off season are, in my opinion, um, 161 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: for what it's worth, are different. I see and I 162 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 1: and I said this to you all. Last year, I 163 00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:37,200 Speaker 1: thought he was really impressive with the way he was 164 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: throwing the ball and his and what kind of shape 165 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: he was in. I think he's even in better shape. 166 00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:47,080 Speaker 1: I think he's um uh you know, his arm. He 167 00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 1: looks even as stronger, stronger than he did last year. 168 00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:54,640 Speaker 1: He's more accurate, um, I think him. You know, as 169 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800 Speaker 1: we move the pocket a little bit, he's throwing really 170 00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: well on the run. Um, and he did that last year. 171 00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: I think it looks again my personally, I think it 172 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 1: looks even better now than did last year sleep that 173 00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,240 Speaker 1: you've seen gil Ernando's make at this point versus where 174 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: he was either at the end of last year when 175 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: he first probably along the lines that we were just 176 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,600 Speaker 1: talking about, just in regard to um, he's making less 177 00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: mistakes or if he makes a mistake, he's getting corrected. 178 00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:19,520 Speaker 1: Last year, I think it really bothered him and maybe 179 00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:22,320 Speaker 1: one play affected the next. Uh. This year, it's not. 180 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: He gets it. He realizes that, oh I got it, 181 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: you know, and then he doesn't make it again. Um. 182 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:31,160 Speaker 1: And I think that just a comfort level of the 183 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,080 Speaker 1: the guys around him that he's got that after playing 184 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 1: a year and you can see him kind of coming 185 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,760 Speaker 1: off the ball a little more confidence in the one 186 00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: on one situations in past broke with with Soldier. He's 187 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 1: struggled a little bit early last year and played better 188 00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 1: as the year went on. How much do you think 189 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: a year two in your system will add to some 190 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: comfort level here? And yeah, I think we all kind 191 00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: of struggled early last year. But um, I think it 192 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,520 Speaker 1: all fits together and I think, um, he's going to 193 00:08:57,600 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: be a big part of the reason why we win 194 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 1: games when we in them And um, you know the 195 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: same thing. It's it's maybe a little bit different than 196 00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,440 Speaker 1: what he was doing at New England the technique, but um, 197 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,559 Speaker 1: he's both really good. He's an asset force in the 198 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: running game of coming off the ball and he likes 199 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,640 Speaker 1: to he likes to do that. And then with his 200 00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:18,439 Speaker 1: past protection, Um, you know some of the little things 201 00:09:18,520 --> 00:09:20,880 Speaker 1: we talked about. Maybe at first, like you were saying, 202 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 1: it was um different from what he had been asked 203 00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: to do, but I think there's uh uh a lot 204 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 1: more consistency in that regard. I thought it was interesting 205 00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: that Daniel Jones is rooming with Dexter Lawrence. Could he 206 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,360 Speaker 1: take anything from a D lineman in those moments when 207 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 1: they're talking football or whatever they I would think so, Um, 208 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:41,920 Speaker 1: you probably have to ask them, but I would think 209 00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,359 Speaker 1: so there's you get a little bit a little different perspective. 210 00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:47,240 Speaker 1: Quarterbacks and d lineman don't usually spend a lot of 211 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: time together. Uh So I think it's kind of a 212 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,520 Speaker 1: good setup. And um, you know, yeah, for a lot 213 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,880 Speaker 1: of reasons, a bond, their friendship and then also you know, 214 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: being the being the high picks in the first round, 215 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 1: they've got something in common as well as and then 216 00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: they can kind of revert a little bit back to 217 00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:06,000 Speaker 1: maybe something that would help both of them out during 218 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: the course of the game.
