00:00So, we're we're in Washington,
00:04right? And they played Tampa
00:05twice this year. Yeah. And the
00:07Bucks are your team. Yeah. What
00:09kind of growth did you see in?
00:10Yeah, I got away with one man.
00:12Alright, keep going. What kind
00:13of growth did you see in Jaden
00:14Daniels from week one to the
00:16wild card win? You know, when I
00:18watched him in week one, I said
00:21this kid, I said before in
00:24preseason, he throws one of the
00:26best footballs I've seen in a
00:28week. He's one of the best I've
00:29seen period. He just throws a
00:31very catchable pretty football
00:33and that doesn't always
00:34correlate. It's just talent. It
00:36doesn't make you a great
00:37quarterback but it it it you
00:39know, it doesn't always
00:40correlate to being a great
00:41quarterback but seeing how he
00:43threw the ball with such ease,
00:45I said, you know what? This kid
00:47got some to him and then we
00:48played him in week one and I
00:50said, you know what? And turn
00:51the ball over. He ran the ball
00:53well. He didn't look rattled.
00:54He played through the game and
00:56then you watch him play and you
00:58see what he's doing in the
00:59clutch. Sure. You see what he's
01:01doing when it's crunch time and
01:03Kurt Warner, my colleague on
01:04NFL Network said, when you're
01:07watching these people, what
01:09you're watching them do is
01:11something that they've been
01:12doing. Yeah. You don't want, you
01:14don't get in crunch time and you
01:16change. You don't get in crunch
01:18time and you you all of a sudden
01:20who I know how to take a deep
01:22breath and center in. That's how
01:23you are at all times. That's why
01:25it looks like he's like that in
01:26the clutch but he's like that at
01:28all times and you've seen him
01:30get more and more comfortable to
01:32where, hey, this is just
01:33football to me. Like a guy like
01:35Jaden and so. Yeah. People like
01:37to automatically say, oh, running
01:38quarterback. No, no, no, no.
01:39He's a passer who can run.
01:41Exactly. How does that affect
01:42your your game, your pass rush
01:44when you on the field? If you
01:46had a guy that you know can
01:47throw it but he can run, did you
01:49change up anything? Yeah, I had
01:51the the, you know, the
01:52supersized version of him in
01:54Cam Newton. So, you know, and
01:56Cam Newton was one of those
01:57innovators. You had your Mike
01:59Vicks and guys who could do it
02:00but then Cam came in doing it at
02:01the size he was doing it. He was
02:03electrified. There's exciting.
02:05There's explosive and then
02:06there's electrifying. Cam was
02:08electrified and that's what
02:10Jaden Daniels has, man and you
02:11have to be very aware of what
02:14you do. You have to rush smart
02:16but you can't rush scared. Max
02:17Crosby said when they're
02:18rushing Patrick Mahomes, you
02:20have to rush smart but you
02:21can't rush scared and I knew
02:22about that playing against Cam
02:23Newton. We we did a thing. Joe
02:25Cullen who's a defensive line
02:26coach which is is crazy that
02:28they're about to play um Jalen
02:30Hertz because Joe Cullen who
02:32was my defensive line coach is
02:33a D line coach at Kansas City.
02:35He taught us about building a
02:36well. This came from Rob
02:38Marinelli and when you build a
02:39well, you wanna keep guys like
02:41that in the pocket and there's
02:42a way to do it when you're
02:44rushing up front but you have to
02:46be very aware with how you're
02:47rushing. You can't just rush
02:49free like if I'm rushing a
02:51let's say Kirk Warner Alright,
02:54good. You just can't do that
02:56with Jane. Yeah. You know, so
