  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels probably cost my man Dan quitting his job,
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: to be honest with you.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: That's tough.
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: To be honest with you. And, like, I'm a big
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Jaden Daniels fan. But the reality is, like, he probably
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: cost a lot of people their jobs this past weekend.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: So you put none of that on the coaches here?
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Hey, bro, and all respectfully, we get coached so much
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on these situations that, like, I'm a defensive player, and
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: this is programmed in me. I know what to do
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: in those situations. 100%. There's no way I'm taking a
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: sack with 14 seconds of no timeouts. And mind you,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: it would be different if Jaden Daniels was a rookie.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: This is your third year. This is your third year.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: You've been to the NFC Championship game. You've been in
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: big moments before. And to me, Like, even after a sack,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: you're casually getting up. That was the thing that frustrated
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: me the most. I'm like, you just took a sack
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: with 14. Like, look at the play. Like, I'm not
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: mad what you did.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Cool. Do it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: But look, like, he's not even urgently getting up. But
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: think about it. It's not just him. This is what's
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: so confusing about this. There's a receiver who was back
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: there at the 10-yard line who was just chit-chatting with
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: a DB from the Giants.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Like, that is disgusting, bro.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: So I agree with you wholeheartedly. I think that the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: quarterback is responsible for being the co-pilot. He's the co-pilot.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: The head coach to me is a pilot. You don't
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: call plays on offense. You don't call plays on defense.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I need to be talking to my offensive coordinator. Hey,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: let's just spike it. They could have took the clock
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: down to 10 seconds, spiked the ball. We're not dealing
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: with any of this right now.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to lie. That's not the situation that
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: we want to do because– It was next score wins regardless.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: Exactly.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: Like, but my thing is, like, at that situation, it's
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: just like I put more weight on it.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Like, if people are going to say QBs want to
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: lose games, and as you can see, they just won
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: or lost the game on the QB hands, this is
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: your job, bro. Get paid a lot of money.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Like, this is your job to be prepared, to understand
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the game, and understand situations. That's in your job profile.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: And you're telling me, oh, we're going to pay this
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: guy eventually $ 60 million? This cannot happen.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's tough as a head coach to see a situation
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: like that.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: And Jaden Davis is in contract here. That's not what
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I want to put on tape.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I didn't love how he handled the press conference after
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I would have liked to see more accountability in myself.
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Extreme ownership.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: And I'm a player. You know, I'm a big JD5 fan. But, like,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: that's inexcusable, bro. Like, the lack of urgency. Like, that's something, like,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I would have had to say something in the locker room. Like,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I would have had to come talk to him. Like, yo, like,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: that's not okay.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: So, you see what the old lineman Chris Paul said. Yeah,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we talk about this in the huddle. For them to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: talk about that in the huddle. then still go out
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: there and execute the way they did.
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to say there's not a coach in America,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: even Coach Sean Homer said it a couple weeks ago,
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: I probably overly coached, and this is why you overly coach,
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: not to do stupid things like that. This is why
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: you overly coach, because you lose games off of that.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: But, like, this is just, like, there's no way that
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: they didn't say, hey, this is the situation here. How
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: much time, so you mentioned it a little bit earlier,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: how much time in NFL meetings, practices, all those things,
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are you guys talking about situations like this?
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Every day. Really? Every day. Like on Wednesday, we bring up,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you know, end of half, four-minute drill. Like we talk
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: about it. Thursdays, we literally do two-minute situations. We change
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: the clock, change the time. change the point differential, they
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: need a scorer, got to have a situation, whatever. We
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: do those situations every week. On Fridays, red zone situations,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we talk about it. What's the mindset? Oh, we don't
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: push the ball, we don't reach unless we need the seven.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: If not, keep it tucked. Like, we talk about these situations.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: When you want to reach, when you don't want to reach.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Four-minute drill, what's the mindset? Protect the ball, stay in bounds.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Protect the ball, stay in bounds. Like, we go through
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: all these situations every week, so there's no way that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you don't know these situations. We even go through mock games, like,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: where we walk through these situations. So it's like, to me, like,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: this is a lack of preparation, a lack of mentality,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and a lack of urgency by the man on campus.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: That just can't happen.
