Speaker 1 (00:00):
Daniell.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I know it's always tough when the team loses, but personally,
it was your career high in receiving you order for
a game. You made the big touchdown catch early on,
and we're a significant part of this offense that that
had to at least spark you internally.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Oh yeah, I mean at the end of the day,
it's tough to even think back because you know, my
mind is just on you know, it's not finishing the game,
so to be honest, that's just where my mind's at
right now. But you know, we just gotta we got
a fine ways to win that game.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
We've seen a lot of the double tight end sets.
There's last couple of weeks. Sometimes they're in it, then
they get out of it a little bit, but we
saw a lot of it again today. What do you
like about that, besides obviously getting more of.

Speaker 3 (00:37):
A chance to play, Oh yeah, I mean it gives
our offense versatility. You know, allows us to get into
a bigger package and run the ball as well as
past the ball, you know, create some mismatches that we
feel we're favorable in and you know, keep keep growing
as an offense like that, and we just got to
keep keep growing.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
It all right. We saw a reception that they got
late in the fourth quarter, but then the Giants come
back and then the final two minutes Jackson thought lead
you guys into getting the lead again. Could you tell
me what that tells you about him? What was he
like in the heardle on that drive?

Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah, just resilient, you know, the one word I can
describe Jackson as as resilient and a leader. You know,
he's he's feeling tough right now, but I think he played.
He played great, and you know, we got to be
there as a team to you know, support him. But
like you said, he played resilient man, and he in
that hotel, he was you wouldn't think he's a rookie.

(01:29):
And the way he carries himself, he's a mature he's
sure individual who's gonna have a lot of success in
this league.

Speaker 1 (01:33):
We just got to make sure we have his back.

Speaker 2 (01:35):
Over the last couple of years, there's been a number
of these really heartbreaking defeats. As someone who's been around
a while, what do you tell some of the younger
players about how you digest it and how you come
back from it.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
Ultimately, you can't change it.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know, you want to go back and you want
to maybe change one or two plays, but you can't.
You can't do that in football, you can't do that
in life. So we got to keep our head up.
You know, we got Philly in six days. You gotta correct.

Speaker 1 (01:58):
We can correct, and five ways to win these games
