1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,280
Speaker 1: This is the first time we got to talk to

2
00:00:01,360 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: you since the video came out. Can you just take

3
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: us through that evening on do you think that you

4
00:00:08,080 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 1: violated any COVID protocols, um that you put yourselves or

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: teammates or anyone else in any kind of jeopardy? And

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: do you regret what happened? Uh? Yeah, you know, Um,

7
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, certainly respect the question and acknowledge the you know,

8
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: the importance of it. But um, you know, Coach Coach

9
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,120
Speaker 1: spoke about it the other day, and you know, we

10
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: have a way of handling those things, so uh, you know,

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna handle it internally here and and um, you know,

12
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,760
Speaker 1: our focus is on on the Bucks this week and

13
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: being prepared to play Monday night. Did anything that came

14
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: out of that was anything that came out of that

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: misrepresented or something that you would like to clear up,

16
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, so people would know whether you were in

17
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: the wrong or not. Yeah, you know, I think, um,

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think, you know, Coach Coach commented on it,

19
00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: and and um, you know there's some information, but um,

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, like I said, we're gonna we're gonna handle

21
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: it internally, and and uh, you know, prepare for for

22
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: the Bucks this week. Do you expect to be disciplined

23
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 1: for anything that happened uh Friday night? Or have you

24
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: been disciplined? Uh? You know, like like I said, we're

25
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna handle it here as a team. You know,

26
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: we've We've talked to coach. I've certainly talked to coach

27
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: and um, you know, dealt with it here inside. And

28
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: that's uh, you know, that's our our policies there. So, UM,

29
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: I don't have much too much to add at on there.

30
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: And then just to be fair to Matt there because

31
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: he was gonna ask this question and saw I'll pick

32
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: it up and and where he's left off. Can you

33
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: regret not wearing a mask? I mean you were inside

34
00:01:44,120 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: um at up at a bar which whatever, but you

35
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: were not wearing a mask inside and drinking and that.

36
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: So do you do you regret that part of it? Uh? Yeah,

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 1: you know I think, Um, you know I had had

38
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: PP and and you know certainly have to make sure

39
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: I'm wearing it. But like I said, um, uh you know,

40
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:06,920
Speaker 1: we're not gonna comment anymore on it. You know, coaches,

41
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: certain coaches certainly addressed it. Thanks Mark Anil Uh, I

42
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: just have a question about the close games you guys

43
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: have been involved in most of what you have not

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: come out on top. I'm just wondering how you view that,

45
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,720
Speaker 1: whether it's a positive that you guys have been in

46
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: every every one of these games to the end or

47
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 1: negative that you have not been able to come up

48
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: with the top and win these things. And just as

49
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: a follow what what would winning one of these things?

50
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: I know you did against Washington, but what what would

51
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 1: winning one of these things kind of do in terms

52
00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 1: of the confidence level of this team as it as

53
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: it moves forward. Yeah, you know, I think it would.

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: It would certainly do a lot for us. I think, um,

55
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you look at a lot

56
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: of these games this year, like you said, we've been

57
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 1: we've been close. It's come down to a couple of

58
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,040
Speaker 1: plays or a possession there at the end. And um,

59
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: you know, I think when you when you look at it,

60
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 1: you have to look at the the entire game. I

61
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 1: think you can see a lot of a lot of positives,

62
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: a lot of things we're doing well, and like you said,

63
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: we've got to gotta find a way to finish. So, um,

64
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: you know, I think you can take you can take

65
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 1: good from it. You can certainly take a lot of

66
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: positives from it and and learn from you know what

67
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: what's led to us ultimately not getting the results that

68
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: we've um, you know that we've we've hoped for so UM,

69
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you know, it's it's black

70
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: and white. I think there there's you know, positive to

71
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,399
Speaker 1: take from it, and we've got to build off those,

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: and we certainly have to correct the things that have, um,

73
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, kept us from from winning those close games. Daniel,

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 1: When you look at this Tampa Bay defense to pretty

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,640
Speaker 1: stout across the board, but I'm just wondering how susceptible

76
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: do you think they are to the deep past. I mean,

77
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: they're very aggressive, and I'm sure there are ways to

78
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: exploit that, but do you see a lot of susceptibility

79
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: in there? You know, I get to get the ball

80
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: down the field against this defense. Uh, you know, like

81
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: you said, they're they're a good group. They've got uh

82
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: you know a lot of good players across the board,

83
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 1: and and um, you know their scheme and what they're doing. Uh,

84
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: you know, from a from a strategy perspective or scheme perspective,

85
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: is is good too. But but we'll be prepared for it.

86
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, I think that's uh you know, that's part

87
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: of of any plan for us each week is to

88
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field and take shots

89
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,480
Speaker 1: when they're there. So, um, you know, we'll be prepared

90
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: and and um you know, ready to go on Monday night.

91
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: And then I just have one follow up if I

92
00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: may not necessarily related to the COVID stuff, but when

93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,280
Speaker 1: you're missing a regular starting offensive lineman for whatever the reason,

94
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: how much does that effect what you do? You know,

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: the communication, you know, the feel and whatnot. Uh yeah

96
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: you know, I think, uh, you know, missing anyone causes

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: you to adjust a little bit and and uh you know,

98
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,880
Speaker 1: prepare for it. But you know, I'm confident that, um

99
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,119
Speaker 1: you know, we'll have guys step up and play well,

100
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: and um you know they'll they'll be prepared, uh going

101
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 1: into the game. So um you know, I think that's

102
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,560
Speaker 1: the case when when anyone goes down. I think you know,

103
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: we've dealt with that this year at times, uh you know,

104
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 1: at other positions, So we'll be ready for it and

105
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 1: we'll be ready ready to go. Thank you, Daniel, Tom

106
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:16,239
Speaker 1: Rock to Rock, I had two questions if I could

107
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: the first is about Golden tat and you hit him

108
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: for the for the touchdown the other day. Uh. He's

109
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: a guy that makes a lot of contested catches kind

110
00:05:23,960 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: of like the one, the one he made there against

111
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Does that sort of redefine for a quarterback?

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: How you how you see somebody getting open where you

113
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: know he might not necessarily have the separation but but

114
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 1: you can still throw him the ball there and and

115
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,719
Speaker 1: do you have to get him the ball more that

116
00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: there hasn't been a lot of opportunities for him in

117
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. Yeah, I think Golden's a you know,

118
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: he's a big part of our offense. He's he's, like

119
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,679
Speaker 1: you said, someone who catches the ball on traffic, uh

120
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: really well. And and you can go up and and

121
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: make those plays, uh those plays for us. So, um,

122
00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think we'll continue to you know, try

123
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: to at him the ball and and uh, you know,

124
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: depending on how how the defense is playing him and

125
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: what the um you know, what they're doing, Uh, you

126
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: know from a defensive perspective, and you know how that

127
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: dictates the reeds and where the ball goes. So we'll

128
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: continue to to uh, you know, use him as as

129
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,600
Speaker 1: a big part of our offense. And you know, I

130
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440
Speaker 1: certainly have a lot of confidence in him, him catching

131
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 1: the ball, and like you said, he's a great contested catcher.

132
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 1: He's a great uh you know, a great guy in

133
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: traffic catching the ball and making him play. And then

134
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 1: and then my second question was, Uh, sometimes with the

135
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: young teams, when they go up against the team I

136
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: guess the Tom Brady team, there's there's a tendency to

137
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: sort of be a little odd and be a little

138
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: um intimidated, intimidated by that. Uh maybe maybe your team

139
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: was that way last year. I don't know. But but

140
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: this year, with so many people in the building who

141
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: are so close to him and know him and that's

142
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: such such intimate knowledge of him, does does that help

143
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: to take that away a little bit? Uh? You know,

144
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,719
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, well, we'll certainly be prepared

145
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, he's a great player. Obviously, he's

146
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: um accomplished a great deal in this league and had

147
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: a tremendous amount of success. But um, you know, at

148
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,320
Speaker 1: the same time, we're preparing for for the for the

149
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks, and you know, we've got to play

150
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: a good defense and uh, you know, on offense, we're

151
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: preparing for that and and um, you know we'll be

152
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: ready to go. So um, obviously a ton of a

153
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: ton of respect for for him and who he is

154
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: as a player, but um, you know we've got to

155
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: prepare to play, uh you know, play a play a

156
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay Bucks team that that's got a lot of

157
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 1: a lot of good players on offense and defense. What's

158
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 1: it like when you're out there today in the rain

159
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: and you're looking at the group in front of you

160
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: and basically you've got one starter. I mean, what's your

161
00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:48,119
Speaker 1: level of concern about I mean, probably will won't come back,

162
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: but getting the other guys back, Yeah, you know, I think, um,

163
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: you know, we we've got to be prepared regardless of

164
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: the circumstance. And you know it's tough, too tough to picked.

165
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: Uh you know what's gonna happen, But um, you know,

166
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 1: as players, and certainly in my position, I think, um,

167
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: you know, all you can do is, um, you know,

168
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: take advantage of the of the time you have and

169
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,800
Speaker 1: and attack the you know, the opportunity or the challenge

170
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:18,440
Speaker 1: and get the most out of it. So I thought,

171
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: you know, guys, uh did a good job today at

172
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: practice doing that, and you brought a lot of energy

173
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,559
Speaker 1: and I thought we were able to get a lot done.

174
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: If the other guys don't come back, you're thinking of

175
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: opting out, No, we'll we'll be ready to play Monday night.

176
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 1: Last year when you guys played up in New England,

177
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: you and Tom had a moment after the game. I'm

178
00:08:41,760 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 1: just curious if you could share kind of what you

179
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 1: talked about or what he said to you, uh, just

180
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: in terms of that experience, if there's anything that you've

181
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: carried with you, uh, you know, all from your rookie

182
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,079
Speaker 1: year coming into this year. Uh. Yeah, I spoke to

183
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: Tom for just kind of a brief moment after the

184
00:08:59,080 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: game last year, and and uh really just just wish

185
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: each other luck going forward. So um, you know, not

186
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: not a whole lot really, uh from that conversation. But

187
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,439
Speaker 1: but like I said, you know, I have a ton

188
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: of respect for him and you know, watching him growing

189
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 1: up and and uh you know all the all the

190
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 1: success he's had in this league. So um, you know,

191
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: look forward to getting out there Monday night. Just as

192
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: a quick follow up, looking forward to Tampa Bay. Obviously,

193
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:34,319
Speaker 1: this was the team that you played in your first game. Um,

194
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: any of your notes are work that you did last

195
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: year carry over to preparation for this year as you're

196
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,920
Speaker 1: prepared to see that defense again. Yeah, you know, I

197
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: think there's some there's some similarities in terms of personnel

198
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 1: and obviously, uh you know, the coordinator is is the same. So, uh,

199
00:09:50,679 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: you know, we've we've gone back and watched that game.

200
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 1: I think you can take certain things from it, you know,

201
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 1: here and there, but um, you know, they are a

202
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: different defense. They're calling it a little bit different and

203
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: doing a couple of different things. So um, you know,

204
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,520
Speaker 1: we'll we'll have to prepare for that. But yeah, I

205
00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:07,599
Speaker 1: think I think last year's tape and and some of

206
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the notes from last year are definitely uh you know,

207
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: helpful going in m HM.
