  Speaker 1: What's up everybody? What'd I got from?
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: You know what?
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: It is Sunday?
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It isn't Sunday.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: It is technically Sunday, but it is our Wednesday.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: How's how strange is this kind of stretch been of
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: figuring out recovery and corporation and and everything with black figure.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's been weird, you know, cause there's tryna fit
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: like last week, tryna fit what you typically do in
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: a full week into some days. It's tough. And then
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: you have this week where you know, you have a holiday,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you got you know, you working on the weekends. Some
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: places are closed if you wanna use 'em. People's schedules
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: different on the weekends. And so I just think it's
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: part of being a professional figuring out how to maximize
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: your time. And you know it's our job to make
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: sure we're ready, uh whenever we play, he said. The
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: messaging from the team leaders right now about to the.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: Younger guys, that the about being that professional, about that
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: what did what do you?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: What are you telling those guys about Thursday, Thursday or
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Sundays of Wednesday and the league's.
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: Playing and you're not I what.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: What is the message? You know, it's tough, cause it's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: just you tryna figure out your schedule, you know, figure
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: out you know, how to do things, especially you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: when you're young. A lot of times, your your youth
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: allows you to just recover fast and you you feel
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: like you don't have to do as much. But then
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes that creates kind of, uh a weird routine for
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: you that you don't wanna have for the duration of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the season. So, you know, being smart about doing the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: stuff that you've done throughout the course of the season,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: being consistent with it, you know, just also understanding, you know,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: where we're at right now in the season, understanding the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: adversity that we have, and making sure that you are
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: at your best shape and you the best uh space
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: mentally to take on the games that we have left.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: When you look at Dallas and the points that they're scoring,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: how much of that as a result of Dac making
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: plays versus the various playmakers that he has around him.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I think it's a combination of both. I think he's
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: doing a good job of knowing when to use his
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: legs to make those plays and annoying when to you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: pass the guy open and things of that nature, cause
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you have to respect. You know, you watch a couple
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: of games, you know he has you know, ten yards
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: right in front of him, and you feel like, alright,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: l let me go get him. And as soon as
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you make that commitment, he throws it to the playmakers.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: I think he's done a great job of getting the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the ball into the playmaker's hands, allowing them to create
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: plays after the catch. And so, uh, we just got
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: to do a really good job of containing him as
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: well as understanding where the playmakers are at.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Why have the team's been able to get to him.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: I know it's the size of their offensive line and
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: it's got but wh why is it the hard to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: get into the back?
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's a combination of of you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the O line doing a great job, but then you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: know him being able to escape. You know, I think
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: early on in his career when he you know, as
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: soon as he kind of put his head down, he
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: would he would take off and run. Now, you know,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he kind of moves around the pocket, has a really
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: good pocket presence and understands where the routes are, you know,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: down the field. And so I think it's a combination
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: between the O line doing a good job and as
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: well as Dak being able to understand uh the pocket
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: and make the the accurate throws.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: You guys have always l done a really good job,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: had a really good record co FLT it back from
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: kind of tough losses thurd time. What what is it?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I guess about what Pete does and all that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: It's always kind of a lot I guess to do that.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think it's a positivity. I think it's the consistency
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: of the messaging things of that nature. I think that's
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that's kind of the biggest thing. And just understanding that
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: every game's gonna feel like a big game or feel
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: like a big moment after uh a loss or whatever
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it cakes may be, because that's just how no offense.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: That's how the media works. It makes you feel like
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it's like the end of the world, but it's not.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: If you if you can grasp that concept and you
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: can put that game behind you and not let it
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: leak into the next game, I think it it sets
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you up for success, which I think he does a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: good job of.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: So that's what you have to use.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Younger guys like it's you know, the media would make
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: it sound like a the end of the world. Before
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: we're still in this pan.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, because I think especially younger generations like you,
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: pay a lot more attention to the social media and
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: all the things of that nature. So uh, you have
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to kind of step away from that and understand what
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the reality is and the reality we have a lot
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: of games left. We have a great team, and you know,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: we were in a good position and we're in control
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of our destiny, and so we need to come out.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: We need to make the plays that we need to make.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: We need to do our jobs better, and that's all
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: in our control.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: We all live for the art early sporcesship for word
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: What is that? For word media?
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's really cool, you know. I uh
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: when I was nominated by it, I read up on
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: it seeing some of the people that have wanted and
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: just what it means as a competitor and things of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: that nature. And to be nominated for something like that,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's it's really cool. I'm I'm I'm humble.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: What was working so well for San Francisco in the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: first half, Offensively, I think they were doing a good
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: job of of messing with our our fits, whether it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: in the run game and in the past game, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: you know, we didn't do a good job of of
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: taking proper angles and making the tackles when we need
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: to make 'em.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Did you think you get a sack on the play?
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: We're pretty got the ball out.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I thought I did, But you know, I think it's
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: it's it's tough, you know, y if you kind of
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: too aggressive, then it's a flag. And but I mean,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I see it's probably just held on his hand a
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: little bit longer, so you wasn't able to throw it,
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: so I I could, I could've made that play now, So.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Was that going through your mind at the time, I mean, as.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: You, I don't think it was going through my mind
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: at the time. I thought he was down then, like
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: I had him for a good amount of time, So
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I thought the play was over cause I've seen them
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: call that play way faster than than what I had him.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: So I wasn't trying to have a positive play turn
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: into a negative play by making it a penalty. But
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I mean that's again, you know, you be in this
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: game long enough, you still learn, and that's learning. And
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: make sure, I you know, make sure I wrap his
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: hands up and he can't, uh, you know, throw the ball,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: It was a good play anything else, Thank you appreciate it.
