1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,160
Speaker 1: What's your job description when it comes to Daniel and

2
00:00:02,200 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: has to Dole. Uh well, obviously it's uh, you know,

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: it's coach Hermer's offense, and he's got a lot of

4
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:12,720
Speaker 1: experience coaching quarterbacks, so he's heavily involved. Uh. Coach Schul

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and coaches the quarterbacks. And then I'm

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: in there with Coach Schul trying to assist him in

7
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,439
Speaker 1: any way I can, and um, just trying to help

8
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,120
Speaker 1: out and just trying to, uh you know, help him

9
00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,640
Speaker 1: improve every day. How much of your time would you say,

10
00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: he goes to the quarterbacks, so, um, yeah, in every meeting. Um,

11
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,239
Speaker 1: in every quarterback meeting, and uh, you know, out of

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:39,560
Speaker 1: practice obviously if coach chool is busy with doing anything else,

13
00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 1: I try to fill in the cracks and and do

14
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 1: anything like that and just help out wherever I can.

15
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:46,639
Speaker 1: Where Dane has made the biggest strides since he got

16
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:50,640
Speaker 1: in the building. Uh, well, he's a fast learner. You know,

17
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: he's a fast learner. He he works extremely hard at it. So, um,

18
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like learning a new language.

19
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: So you kind of come in and it may have

20
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: been called something in college. You know, it's called here

21
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: and me and guys can kind of convert the languages.

22
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: So he works at it. I think the game's starting

23
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 1: to slow down for a little bit. So I think

24
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: that's probably the biggest thing, is just kind of making

25
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: the language his own and playing faster. What's it like

26
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 1: working with him? Oh, he's you know, he's a great

27
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 1: kid to work with. You know, he's uh, he's smart,

28
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: he works at it. Um, he's conscientious, he's uh, he's competitive,

29
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: and um, he's got desired to improve every day. So

30
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's fun. It's fun to you know, it's

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: fun to coach him, and it's fun to um, just

32
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 1: try to improve each day. Different people with different personalities, right,

33
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: so they sometimes have the coach dies maybe a little differently.

34
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 1: What can you get on him? Like? Can you get

35
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: on him hard? Ride him? And does he have to

36
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: be handled softly? Like when how do you how do

37
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,160
Speaker 1: you sort of view that? Well? I think the thing

38
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: with all the guys we have, they're they're kind of uh,

39
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: I guess they gotta. I guess it's intrinsic motivation that

40
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: they're all, you know, kind of really kind of hard

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: on themselves. So usually with those type of guys you know,

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,600
Speaker 1: you say, hey, you know you could have done this here,

43
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,040
Speaker 1: you could have done that there. But usually they're the

44
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: guys that are hardest on themselves. So those are the

45
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: kind of guys you're looking for. Who's the biggest transition

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: you've seen, uh install wise for guys to really get

47
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 1: up to speed, or whether they're having the most troubles

48
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: for us install seeds to be this upsemigrants. Um Well,

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,079
Speaker 1: I guess it's just like anything. You know, you're you're

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: presented in a rookie minicamp, you're presented with uh twenty plays, right,

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 1: so you study those twenty plays and then once you

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: get through install seven, that number goes up probably into

53
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: the hundreds. So it's just volume and then, um, in

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: my mind, it's keeping things in the right categories. So

55
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: you're still all play and you know, you put this

56
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: play in this category, You put this play in this category,

57
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 1: and it kind of helps group in your mind and

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,399
Speaker 1: then you kind of go forward. So I think that's

59
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,800
Speaker 1: the challenge. We're probably where all the players are now,

60
00:02:51,960 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: you know, we're through all of our the majority of

61
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: our install um, So I think it's just the volume

62
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 1: and keeping things straight and making sure, um, you can

63
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: play fast out in the field. What do you see

64
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 1: from Eli so far? I mean you've obviously worked with

65
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,160
Speaker 1: him for a while, but what do you see from him?

66
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I think he lies done a unbelievable job taking care

67
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: of himself. You know, he's he works at it endlessly,

68
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: and um, you know, I think the things that he

69
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: does on the field, um, you can't just say, oh,

70
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: he does that, because you know he's been here so long.

71
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: It's really impressive the way he can diagnose the defense. Um, Physically,

72
00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: I think he's done a unbelievable job taking care of himself.

73
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: And he's just a phenomenal teammate. And and it's really, um,

74
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: it's it's really a great room. You know, it's really

75
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: a great room for guys to learn and grow and

76
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: to be a part of. I've made about elies doing

77
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 1: a different offseason training. How where do you notice that

78
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: the most? Uh, you know, honestly, I think the last

79
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,880
Speaker 1: couple of years, I've just you know, you've just seen

80
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: him in the offseason, you know, since I just know

81
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: him being a round all the time in the off season,

82
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: So you know, I think he's taken However, many of

83
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: these last many years. Is I think he's taking his

84
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: care of his body so well, so I can't really

85
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: comment on that. He's just he takes it seriously. You

86
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: see him in here three days after the season ends,

87
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: he's in here working out, so he's it's obviously something

88
00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: he's taken very seriously, and he looks great.
