1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,840
Speaker 1: At the locker of Darius Slayton forty four yard pass

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 1: down the left sideline set up a touchdown. You make

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,240
Speaker 1: big plays, that's what you do. And I'm sure that

4
00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,559
Speaker 1: one had to feel real good to get it from

5
00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:10,320
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones.

6
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. You know, been important for US. I

7
00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:14,720
Speaker 2: think all preseason we've had an emphasis of trying to

8
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 2: get the ball down the field, create more explosives. So

9
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 2: you know, obviously I was able to make that one

10
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,480
Speaker 2: is able to lead to a touchdown, and hopefully, you know,

11
00:00:20,520 --> 00:00:21,960
Speaker 2: as the year goes, we can continue to do that.

12
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 1: Can you give us an indication of how Daniel was operating,

13
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:27,960
Speaker 1: because early on, obviously you have the two interceptions, it

14
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: looked a little bit like he was rusty, but then

15
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: it seemed like the oil started to get into the engine.

16
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, this football, you know, not every We

17
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 2: obviously wanted to start faster. We didn't want to start

18
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 2: a game like that on offense, but it happens, you know,

19
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: and it was kind of good adversity for US field

20
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 2: to start like that, and we ended up getting it

21
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 2: back within four going in a halftime, So we did

22
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:48,040
Speaker 2: a good job of getting it back on track and

23
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: getting some points in the border.

24
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 1: How much more time do you think the starters need.

25
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,120
Speaker 1: You starters didn't play last week. How much do you

26
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 1: think you guys are going to need to be able

27
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: to get into gear by the time you play the Vikings.

28
00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 2: I think it was good. We got two good halts

29
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: of football. I think we got at least six drives,

30
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 2: I think or something like that, six to seven drives.

31
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: So we played a lot of ball today. You know,

32
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,160
Speaker 2: we'll see, we'll see how much we play next week.

33
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, I love playing,

34
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,920
Speaker 2: so you know, I think you can never get enough,

35
00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 2: you know, time plan. But obviously we're going to go

36
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 2: to work practice this week and continue to get better.

37
00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:18,479
Speaker 1: At the same time, how difficult it is it knowing

38
00:01:18,520 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: that it's going to be vanilla in the preseason and

39
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,399
Speaker 1: you know in the back of your mind there's a

40
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 1: whole new playbook once the regular season starts.

41
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure. But that's why it comes down to

42
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: us winning our matchups. Though you know, you gotta win

43
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 2: your one on ones. Outside it kind of puts the

44
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,320
Speaker 2: onus on the player to be win as an individual,

45
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: and I love that part of football. You know, it's

46
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,559
Speaker 2: it's a bit vanilla. So what you know, they're a man.

47
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 2: You got to go out and beat a man and

48
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: make a play.

49
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: All right. If you could take me into the huddle

50
00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: now and tell me about Daniel's demeanor, his control. Did

51
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: he look nervous at the start to you. Did it

52
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: feel like all of a sudden he started to get

53
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: his shee lege after maybe the first drive or two.

54
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think obviously, you know,

55
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 2: like I said, I didn't want to start the game

56
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,720
Speaker 2: that way, but didn't look any anything out of the ordinary.

57
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,400
Speaker 2: You know, even after the two turnovers we had, he

58
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: was still steady and calm and confident. And obviously that

59
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 2: next drive we went and scored seven points in this drive.

60
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 2: After that we went down and got points. So, you know,

61
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: like I said, I think we did a good job.

62
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 2: Were taken back and doing a pretty solid job. So

63
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 2: in the first half.

64
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: You know, we know his rehab has gone well, but

65
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,200
Speaker 1: think about this, nine months after ACL surgery and here

66
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 1: he is on the field with you taking real snaps.

67
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: Pretty impressive.

68
00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, guy's got crazy work ethic. You know, he's been grinding,

69
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 2: he's been working really hard to get back out there.

70
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 2: And I think it showed and i'm just I'm just

71
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 2: glad he's back.
