WATCH: Jayden Daniels addresses tie against Giants, prepares for 49ers

It's hot in here. It's hot in here, right? I could tell. Back west. It's hot. Jayden, just obviously going to go back to that play. I'm just curious, when you look back at it, after with the timeouts, no timeouts, whatever, not a lot of urgency by the group to get up and get back to the ball. Did you guys not grasp either how much time was left or the situation? I mean, just going back and reflecting on it and, you know, sitting back and ultimately I know it's a lot of he say or whatever they're trying to make, but ultimately, like, it's on me at the end of the day. I know DQ is getting a lot of slack for it or whatever, you know, but regardless of what happens, I'm the person on the field that's supposed to calm everything, control everything, and I fell to the standard I hold myself to and the standard in this organization. So it's just something for me to move on. I'm not saying I'm proud of it or anything. Obviously, looking back, like, it could have resulted in a loss. We tied, but it was a fail in my eyes, and, you know, I know I'm better than that. I hold myself to a higher standard than that. So, moving forward, I'll grow from it and learn from it, and it'll never happen again. And then, obviously, there's been a lot of criticism, Robbie, at you. I'm sure you've seen some of it. I'm just curious what you've thought of that and how you deal with that. I'm moving on to San Francisco. So, you know, I can't say it's not warranted because of what happened. You know, everybody has opinions to say, opinions to speak, and rightfully so. So I can't stop nobody from saying their opinion or anything like that. It's just about my process and moving forward and learning from it and moving on. Sorry to go back to it, but do you change anything during the week? Like, how do you sort of improve there and make sure it doesn't happen again? Nah, it's just learning from it, taking accountability of it, And moving forward, like I said, it won't happen again. And you mentioned just the communication from everybody, really. How do you guys work on that during the week? How do you kind of get that going to where you want it to be and to where it can help you and everybody else? Everybody just being dialed, being on the same page. Like I said, it starts with me, and, like, the coaches could call the play or it could be chaos and havoc on the sideline, and ultimately, you know, I'm the one that controls that huddle, and it's on the field. So all eyes are on me, and I just didn't execute to my standard. Jay, what's the statute of limitations where you have thought about that play, kind of internalized what happened, know what went wrong, know what needs fixing, and say, okay, I have in my mind, I understand what happened, and I take the responsibility. How long did that take you to kind of get to this? um i mean fairly quick um as far as you know once emotions emotions are everywhere all throughout the stadium um and once you kind of just settle down and realize um and get to reflect you know um is there something that you know kept me up at night you know what can i've done better um even prior to that play and stuff like that like um and you know you just try to move forward and move on and um something that you know me and my dad always talked about was you know you get a 24 hour rule so you get to feel sorry for yourself for 24 hours and uh you got to move forward after that and luckily you know we got a monday night so it might have been a little 48 hours for me but um you know you always got to continue to try to improve keep moving forward um because we do have a very good test with the 49ers coming up on Monday night, hey Jayden and talking about moving on to face the 5 and 0 49ers, what are some key things that you're looking at, things that you all have to do and be sharp at offensively um you know uh limit the the pre-snap penalties uh communicating, make sure everybody's on the same page and uh running off the ball, you know we're going to a hostile environment, obviously they're humming, it's a very good team and they're well coached so you know we got our hands full coming up on Monday night so playing with the brace, have you embraced the brace? um I would say I did um you know it's I wasn't thinking about it so yeah I did um Jayden, you obviously you're uh were able to run very effectively in that game, what was for you what I guess what were you seeing out there was it something that they were um doing or just you're being aggressive and seeing uh taking out opportunities nah um just picking my spots and you know there's sometimes they're playing man coverage with no spy and uh you know receivers hit the landmarks, everybody's eyes are opposite and not on me so So I had a rushing lane, and, you know, obviously I've seen a lot of green grass and was able to make them pay for it Every star quarterback goes through some down period like this or a moment like this I know this may seem weird in a moment but it's the type of thing I got to – it's going to happen at some point. Let me get it out of the way, learn from it, and move forward. I just think you always go through some adversity. Like I said before, Marcus kind of told me I'm not going to say, you know, I'm one of the greats, but, you know, he told me every great one, you know, has been through adversity in their career. And, you know, you got to deal with it. You got to learn from it and move forward and not dwell on it and let it affect you. Obviously, as a competitor, as a person, like you feel like you let everybody around you down. But, you know, I have a great team and, you know, people in the locker room, you know, that have my back and, you know, uplifting me in those moments. And ultimately, you know, I'm the one that had to take ownership of it and move forward from it. Jaden, like you said earlier, DQ's been hearing a lot of it from in here, outside in general. What did you learn about your coach this week by taking all the blame? I mean, that's just the person he is, you know, the type of person that he is. And obviously, you know, all eyes are on him, all eyes are on me. And, you know, regardless of how people talk about him, you know, we love DQ here. You know, I appreciate him. I always say that for, you know, making my dreams come true of being a starting quarterback in the NFL. And, you know, he helped me with the opportunity. So super blessed to have DQ and, you know, he means a lot to me. And sitting where you guys are right now at 1-3-1, going into the undefeated 49ers, how do you avoid hangover from last week into a huge game going into the bye? It's just all about the process, all about the process. It doesn't change a win, a loss, or whatever. You learn from it, and you stick to your process. Nothing changes. You go out there, and you just take it day by day, one step at a time. Jaden, when you have a loss like that, obviously a lot of the focus is on the yeah it was a lot on the last play but you know in the fourth quarter as well you know you guys you know blew a lead um as a team within the locker room just from a player perspective like how do you guys avoid finger pointing in that situation whether it's offense towards the defense or vice versa um it's a collective thing um offensively regardless of what happened on the defensive side we did not close the game and i'm pretty sure the defense felt the same way so um it's not just one side of the ball or like this side should have done better that side should have done better as a collective then we all collectively put ourselves in that position um you know to end up with the tie and you know we did not finish um you know we had opportunities to finish i know offensively we did uh to put the game away and we did not in that fourth quarter in particular it seemed like the offense the passing game in particular on the offense wasn't clicking for you guys but you guys got it going later on in overtime before that last play i mean what do you think was off in the fourth quarter and what did you guys find at the end of the game maybe that you can carry forward? You know, we just got to learn from it. You know, they were bringing a lot of zero pressure. I got to be able to get different checks to the guys and, you know, ultimately just be playing the quarterback position, make sure we're in the right position to be able to get the ball out to the perimeter to the skill guys so they can make plays and hopefully break a couple tackles and make some things happen. Jaden, you mentioned, you know, the 24 hours after the game you had that time. I think you all were off Tuesday and Wednesday. for you just personally what did you use in that time both to get over sunday but then also to help you move to the next game um well move to the next game was you know just my process like you know i was treating it like it was a sunday game obviously you know we had more extended time off um but you know it's kind of just the same process sticking to it you know lifting and film watching and starting uh having getting an early jump on the 49ers um after watching the tape back from the game but the other part i mean you know kind of i mean you still still think about stuff like that right um but it can't help me it can help me moving forward but you know i can't dwell on the past too much you know because i got a game on monday night to worry about non-football stuff that you mentioned the lifting um yeah i think you know just my circle checking on me everybody checking on me asking me how i'm doing um because they see more of the the scrutiny and criticism more than more than i do um you know i see some of it but you know everybody's checking on me but it's all it's all up to me it's all part of my process and um i was able to move forward from it and get ready for this week i've addressed the team after to start this week as as kind of your leadership approach do you address the offense or anything or how do you kind of approach these situations yeah i mean um you guys stand up there in front and you know um be a man right um everybody the part of it it was ultimately on me so i was saying my two cents and letting the guys know like you know it would never happen again um and you know we're gonna move forward from that you mentioned your teammates support in that in addressing them a little bit earlier just what do you feel like their response was when you did kind of address them and you know just their response overall um i mean i would say they they know how much this game means to me and And, you know, just a laugh like that, you know, is uncharacteristic for myself. And like I said, it's not the standard that I hold myself to. So obviously they're supporter of it And, you know, they're all saying, you know, we're just going to move forward from this and get ready for next week's game. And there's nothing we can do in the past. We can't go back and change the outcome or anything like that. You can just learn from it. Good afternoon, Jaden. Tight end production on your offense has been very much increased when you're in at quarterback versus some of the other quarterbacks have been. Chig Okonkwo has also been injured during some of that part as well. How much of that is anecdotal, and how much of that do you feel is part of how the defense has to defend you versus maybe some other guys? I don't know. I'm thinking they just – I thought it was an open guy. And, you know, Chig happened to be the open guy in some of the plays. And maybe it could be because of me or who else is in the lineup. I don't really have those numbers on that, but, you know, I'm just doing my job and, you know, trying to find an open receiver. Obviously, DQ's gotten a lot of heat this week, some for David Bell as well. That last play included, but how was the communication with you and Blau? Regardless, I think, you know, he communicated the situation, the play and everything like that. And for me, it's just like, like I said, it's ultimately on me. Like DQ got the heat, Bell, whatever, myself, I wouldn't even say it would be, I don't even put it on the coaches. I got to be aware, more aware, go out there and, you know, manage the game right. And I did not do that. So it doesn't matter what happens on the sideline between the coaches or anything like that. I got to notice everything that's happening and make sure that we're in the right situation to win the football game. Big picture, how much do you feel you learned this week? I mean, a lot. I feel like I just was able to grow as a person from this. And, you know, I was told growing up, don't make the same mistake twice. So, you know, made it once, and we'll make it again. You guys are getting blitzed at a super high rate, a lot of zero blitzes. What can you do as an offense to kind of operate better and handle that pressure? You know, sit down with Blau and offensively his offensive staff and myself, have some answers for it, knowing that, you know, teams are going to try to get the ball out of my hand, heat us up right and everything like that. So just have an answer from him and, you know, preparing for it. Coach, what's your vision for the rest of the day? um i will say outside well i consider you know my family my mom and my dad for sure um i will say uh a person that that has you know been honest with me a lot like you like you said His name is Sherman Wilson. You know, he's like a big brother to me. Met him back at LSU, so he's one of those type of people who will tell me, like, if I'm lacking or, you know, it's not up to my standard, he'll let me know. Appreciate y'all. Thank you.
