I think he's shown himself 6 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:15,240 Speaker 3: throughout this whole time he's been here in the offseason, 7 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 3: throughout training camp that he's a competent quarterback. He's plenty, 8 00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 3: plenty equipped to do the job, and we all have 9 00:00:20,600 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 3: full faith. 10 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:25,400 Speaker 2: In Thank you. I have a barns. 11 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:32,279 Speaker 4: Your going back to when you guys look back at 12 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 4: the tape just as an offense, I mean, obviously a 13 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 4: lot of people have been talking about Russ, but as 14 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 4: a whole what did you guys see that made it 15 00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,040 Speaker 4: hard for you guys should just kind of make plays 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,120 Speaker 4: consistently to get this offense going. 17 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:47,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think whether it was penalties or lacks of 18 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 3: lack of execution, or just different little things that derailed 19 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 3: a couple of drives we had, and then obviously, you know, 20 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 3: we got down the red zone two times and weren't 21 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,160 Speaker 3: able to get ball in the end zone, or you know, 22 00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,680 Speaker 3: we probably have a very at least a better feeling 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:05,120 Speaker 3: about you know, yesually than we do today. But a 24 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 3: lot of those things just come down an individual execution, 25 00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 3: a play by play basis. 26 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 4: And then for you, obviously you just had one target. 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,080 Speaker 4: Obviously it's just how the game goes. But just for you, 28 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:17,440 Speaker 4: how do you feel about that and knowing that, you know, 29 00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,680 Speaker 4: obviously the offense didn't get way of want and you 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 4: only got you know, one target your way. 31 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, ultimately, you know, my job is to 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: get open and catch the ball when it comes my way. Unfortunately, 33 00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,600 Speaker 3: you know, like I said, I had one target yesterday 34 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:35,640 Speaker 3: and I didn't. I got face masks which didn't get called. 35 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:40,199 Speaker 3: But it's fine. But yeah, I mean, as a receiver, 36 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 3: all you can do is run your routes and get 37 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 3: open and try to be ready when the ball comes 38 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 3: my way. 39 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: Thank you. 40 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 5: Sands Again, Heydari's I'm curious anyone back and watch those 41 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:53,800 Speaker 5: red zone plays? 42 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 4: What stood out? 43 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 3: Like, what was the problem down there? Part of it 44 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: really not even part of it. All of it was 45 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,680 Speaker 3: really just execution. Literally one of the runs we had 46 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,960 Speaker 3: to run through on one of the runs and on 47 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 3: two of the passes, we were just a little bit 48 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 3: off with the timing. On two of the passing the 49 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,640 Speaker 3: routes and that was literally the story for just about 50 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: all of them. Was just like another split second here 51 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 3: or there, or a guy or a guy making a 52 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 3: little bit better of a block, or a guy running 53 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: a little bit better route or whatever here or there, 54 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 3: and you know we're in the end zone.

Like new quarterback, new excitement, new 57 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:48,760 Speaker 2: or new vibes? And I feel like we're talking about 58 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:50,880 Speaker 2: some of the same things we talk about a lot 59 00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: on these zooms like that? Was there a level of 60 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:56,560 Speaker 2: this fields too familiar? We shouldn't be this way? 61 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 3: Uh No, I wouldn't say so. I mean every every 62 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 3: year is his own year, every game is his own game, obviously. 63 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 3: I mean I see how you know you get there 64 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,799 Speaker 3: as far as like a narrative goes, but you know 65 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:13,480 Speaker 3: that game the reasons why we didn't win that game 66 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 3: or didn't excuse well, these games are different than any 67 00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,880 Speaker 3: other game that we didn't execute how we wanted to, 68 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,120 Speaker 3: So you know, we have to address those reasons for 69 00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,919 Speaker 3: why yesterday didn't go the way we wanted to go 70 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,920 Speaker 3: and then correct those this week, going forward into our 71 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:25,399 Speaker 3: next game? 72 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: What going forward into the next game, what's the message here? 73 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:34,119 Speaker 2: Because you know how, you know how oh and two 74 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 2: bless you, you know how, you know how oh and 75 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: two teams are treated in this league and kind of 76 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: what kind of a death sentence that is for a season. 77 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: So what's the urgency here as you get ready here 78 00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: for week week two and you know, trying to correct 79 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 2: those mistakes. 80 00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 3: I think the urgency is high, just because it's always 81 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 3: high in the NFL, whether it's oh and two, two 82 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:59,840 Speaker 3: and oh three and oh, the urgency to win every foot. 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 3: It's not the NBA where you played ninety games or 84 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,840 Speaker 3: whatever it is. You know, we played seventeen weeks of football. 85 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 3: So every game is urgent, you know, regardless of what 86 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 3: our record is, our situation may or may not be, 87 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 3: every game is urgent. Every game is important, especially against 88 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:15,160 Speaker 3: a division opponent like we have this week. So you know, 89 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,440 Speaker 3: I think the urgency is sky high, but I would 90 00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,400 Speaker 3: say it's always there and he needs to stay there. 91 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: And then last thing is the deep ball. I think 92 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,800 Speaker 1: we all expected to see it more. Where the commanders 93 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:29,760 Speaker 1: taking that away? Where did you just not have long 94 00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 1: enough drives to get. 95 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: I mean, with the speed you guys have and that 96 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 2: being such a big part of Russ, I think we're 97 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 2: all expected to see more deep throws. 98 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:40,160 Speaker 3: What happened there, Yeah, I think we got We got 99 00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,640 Speaker 3: a couple of them up. We only completed maybe one 100 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: of them, maybe one or two, I can't remember. Maybe 101 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 3: one of them. I think we actually completed to one 102 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 3: or two of them. Two of them, I think we completed. 103 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: But we got a couple of them up. But again, 104 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 3: for a variety of reasons, whether it was you know, 105 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:01,160 Speaker 3: us trying to us make gonna play on the ball, 106 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,600 Speaker 3: either I was making a player on the ball, or 107 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:04,800 Speaker 3: you know whatever, maybe dB making a good play on 108 00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 3: the ball, what have you. You know, we just have 109 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 3: to find a way to complete those complete those chances 110 00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 3: when we get the opportunity. 111 00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,679 Speaker 2: But yeah, thanks Darius. 112 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 3: Paul Schwartz, Hey, Darius, Yeah, hey, I. 113 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 2: Have two quarterback questions for you. 114 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 5: One number After the game, he said, you really couldn't 115 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 5: tell how Russ played because your back is to him 116 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 5: most of the time by watching the tape and everything 117 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:28,560 Speaker 5: like that. 118 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,680 Speaker 3: What did you see from him specifically? I mean, I 119 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 3: think for the most part, I think he operated pretty well. 120 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 3: You know. Obviously we all made mistakes yesterday. You know, 121 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: if Rus was sitting here right now, he would tell 122 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: you that there's things he could do better in the game. 123 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 3: But I could tell you the same thing for things 124 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 3: that I could have done better. So at the end 125 00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 3: of the day, there's room for improvement all the way around. 126 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 3: But overall, you know, I think he I think he 127 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:49,800 Speaker 3: operated well. 128 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,320 Speaker 4: And I guess at some point you were made aware 129 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,600 Speaker 4: of how your former quarterback Daniel Jones did with the Cults. 130 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 4: Had you seen that, what was your reaction to that, 131 00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 4: and did you reach out to. 132 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: Him after that? 133 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:03,000 Speaker 4: Uh? 134 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: No, I mean I saw it.

They go out there on Sundays and 147 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 3: they make plays and and they're effective. And I don't 148 00:06:38,839 --> 00:06:40,839 Speaker 3: think it changed anything about our team and the players 149 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: that we have.

It was after whenever I did media, 163 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:19,560 Speaker 3: so I didn't wasn't really privy to whatever it was 164 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: or was not I said, but you know whatever, Yeah, honestly, 165 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 3: I don't even know what what happened to really even 166 00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,760 Speaker 3: comment on, be honest with you, So I'll just be 167 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: that up to whatever Dave said. 168 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: And then you know, I'm sitting here waiting for the call, 169 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 2: and you see people on TV and all of our 170 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,360 Speaker 2: socials taking you guys, us to start Jackson, whether what 171 00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 2: do you think when you hear people say that. 172 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: I think that's the natural thing these days, you know, 173 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 3: in the sport of football, which is unfortunate at all 174 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 3: levels of football, even at the college level of the 175 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 3: pro level, is that everybody wants new as soon as 176 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,480 Speaker 3: they think that things aren't going well. But the reality 177 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 3: is is that things take time and not everything, not 178 00:07:59,320 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 3: everything is just nine to one to one situation. You know, 179 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,920 Speaker 3: we have good coaches, we have good quarterback and Russell Wilson, 180 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,040 Speaker 3: and you know, it's one week, you know, and I 181 00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 3: think in the history of football, if you kind of 182 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,239 Speaker 3: look at the history of football, it hasn't it hasn't 183 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,840 Speaker 3: always served people well to just throw people in the fire, 184 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,240 Speaker 3: because I know that I wouldn't I wouldn't want to 185 00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:20,200 Speaker 3: be throwing the fire like that. 186 00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 4: You know. 187 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440 Speaker 3: Obviously, Jackson belize in himself. He's obviously believes he's a 188 00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,360 Speaker 3: good football player. We believe he's a good football player. 189 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,400 Speaker 3: But at the same time, this league is hard. This 190 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,000 Speaker 3: league is tough, and you know, you see players get 191 00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: chewed up and spit out all the time by this league, 192 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 3: which is something I would never want to happen to him. So, 193 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,280 Speaker 3: you know, as far as all that goes, like I said, 194 00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: he said, Rust is our starter. Rust our starter is 195 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,679 Speaker 3: for however long whatever, and he's playing, he's gonna play 196 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,559 Speaker 3: good ball. We're gonna play good balls in offense. And 197 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 3: whenever Jackson's time comeing comes last one, aren't Stapleton? 198 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 5: Hey, Darius? You know along those lines in terms of 199 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,839 Speaker 5: you know that that not everything's nine to one one 200 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 5: When you talk urgency, I think there's a perception that, well, 201 00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 5: urgency means everything's got to change. How does urgency manifest 202 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,880 Speaker 5: itself in your mind for a team this week, and 203 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:13,920 Speaker 5: how high that urgency is? 204 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,320 Speaker 3: I think just in a sense that, like you said, 205 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,240 Speaker 3: you know, urgency sometimes associate that with change, But there's 206 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,559 Speaker 3: other times where it's not change. It's it's who's doing it, 207 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 3: just doing it better. You know, it doesn't always mean urgency. 208 00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:31,400 Speaker 3: Doesn't always mean like, oh, we got to fix this 209 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 3: and fix that and changes and change that. No, sometimes 210 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 3: you have the right people, you have the right things established, 211 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,840 Speaker 3: you have the right culture, you have the right everything aligned, 212 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 3: and it's just a matter of people doing better, doing 213 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,679 Speaker 3: more and better is what ultimately wins football games. Is 214 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,720 Speaker 3: when one team does more things better than the other 215 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,079 Speaker 3: team for four quarters and that's all we have to do. 216 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 3: Doesn't take massive changes, doesn't take a brain trust, you know, 217 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,079 Speaker 3: it doesn't take you know, calculus. It literally just takes 218 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,199 Speaker 3: eleven men going out there on both sides of the 219 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:00,280 Speaker 3: ball and doing better. 220 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,080 Speaker 5: Is that something that you've always appreciated or as a player, 221 00:10:04,679 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 5: has your perspective changed on that through the years? 222 00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:10,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I think it grows for sure, you know, 223 00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:11,719 Speaker 3: as you learn in this game. And you know, I've 224 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:13,560 Speaker 3: been around a fair amount of coaches now, I've been 225 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 3: around even though I've only been here, and I've been 226 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 3: around a lot of coaches, been around a lot of 227 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,319 Speaker 3: football players, and you just kind of realize, you know, 228 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 3: is as coach Dave Ball says a lot of times, 229 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 3: it's a player's game, you know. And obviously the coaches 230 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:25,680 Speaker 3: are the best they can and they know where they 231 00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 3: can be better and there they can improve. But at 232 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 3: the end of the day, like the only people that 233 00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,200 Speaker 3: can really impact that game, the guys are out there 234 00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,360 Speaker 3: on the field. So it comes down to us when 235 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 3: it's all said and done.
