Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels addressed the media after practice on Oct. 30. Here is a full transcript of the press conference.

On how his ribs feel post-game and the aftermath of the game:
"I'm still intact. I feel good. It's taking it day by day."

On how he succeeds in situations with low probabilities of completion:
"I don't really know. I'll just say it's kind of just the trust and not myself, but also my teammates to go out there and make tough plays and that's what we pride ourselves on. That's how you build comradery, build that brotherhood. You gotta trust each other to go out there and make plays."

On the 24-48 hours after the game:
"I mean, it was pretty normal for me in my life as far as my standpoint. Maybe throughout social media, other stuff that's kind of different, but just how I went about it the next day and yesterday, it was kind of just in the past I was onto the new week, so that's how I took that approach."

On his approach to this week's game with New York Giants WR Malik Nabers being knowledgeable of how he is on the field:
"Yeah, I mean, go out there and just still try to execute our plan. Obviously, what they, we faced them in, it's going to be a different game. It's going to be different from week two to now. Obviously, they have grown as a defense and a team. We've grown as an offense in the team, so it would be fun to go out there and play a division foe again."

On how he wants the team to handle success:
"Yeah, I mean, I always be appreciative of it, go out there and enjoy every moment with each other, but at the end of the day, what happened last week doesn't really matter. We could go on a five-game winner streak and lose one, and everybody's going to talk about that loss. Nobody's going to talk about prior. So, at the end of the day, what happened last week and the week before, that doesn't matter. It's not going to carry over to the next team like, 'Oh, Washington's coming to town, we're just going to lay over'. At the end of the day, we still gotta go out there and play ball. We gotta go out there, play fast, physical, and try to execute our game plan."

On how he is still learning and growing as a rookie:
"Yeah, I think just little nuances. Obviously, I face different coordinators every game. So, they're still trying to get to know me. I'm still trying to learn how they, how teams might try to play me. Every team is different. Every team has a different scheme, different talent, different players. So just still trying to go through that whole year of, 'Okay, this coordinator might try to play me this way,' and go from there."

On if a pain threshold determined how much he was willing to push through the rib injury:
"I mean, pain tolerance is always a big thing. So, I would say yeah, that's pretty much what it came down to."

On if the injury is starting to feel better and timeline to being fully healed:
"I wish I knew. I wish I could answer that question for you. It's just how I feel daily, how I wake up and how I'm able to move around. And the organization here has a great plan, so I'm trusting that and following it."

On seeing other contributions from rookies on the team:
"Yeah, I mean, it's awesome just to see everybody come into their own. Some guys it's quicker than others, so it's awesome to see [DT] Johnny [Newton] go out there and make plays. I see they gave him his sack finally. Well, well deserved. He had a fumble. [CB] Mikey [Sainristil]'s been playing really well. But you got guys [like DE] Javontae [Jean-Baptiste] before he got hurt was playing well, you got guys that was able to go out there and contribute and help this team success."

On how close the rookie class is:
"Oh, we're very close. I mean, we're, I think we're just close as a whole team. And we can still grow in that aspect, but everybody likes being around each other."
* On how he would sum up the first half of his rookie year:*
"I don't know. That's a good question. I ain't really thought about something like that. I don't know. I'd probably have to get back to you on that one."

On the key to good ball placement:
"Yeah, I think just the reps and the timing with your guys. Everybody's a different speed and then obviously you gotta be able to gauge how much air you put on it. Maybe where the safety or defender is, but it just comes with reps and getting used to different guys and how fast they run, how they could track the ball in air."

On his sense of what Sunday's game did for the city:
"Yeah, for sure. And I think you could just feel that throughout the stadium. What kind of shook me was when we're in Arizona and how much Washington fans traveled out there. So, it's awesome to see just how everybody is happy, that we're out there playing football, we're out there competing, playing hard and ultimately getting some wins. And we need to continue to have that support and that fan base. And I know they'll show up and show out."

On Metlife Stadium's playing surface reputation and on how he will prepare:
"I mean, it felt good to me a preseason game. But other than that, I mean, I don't really think too much about that. You just gotta go out there, you gotta play ball and barring anything and just leaving that up to God. He got a plan for everybody and just ring. So, you gotta go out there and try to execute the game plan at the end of the day."

On watching film from the first game against New York and on things to improve upon from Week 2:
"A hundred percent. That's kind of what you go back, and you just look at how much you grown and how they kind of played me that first time. And you gotta go out there and expect the unexpected. They might switch up a whole different look and try to defend us a different way. So, you gotta be ready for it. But you just go back and still get a basis of this is what they like to do. This is kind of what they did in the back end with the front. Obviously, they got tremendous players that we gotta worry about. So, it'll be a fun matchup."

On Senior Advisor to the General Manager Doug Williams being named a semi-finalist for the Hall of Fame's contribution category:
"Yeah, I mean without Doug, I probably wouldn't be in this seat. So, he was a pioneer, trailblazer for all African-American quarterbacks to follow after. So, that's awesome for Doug. And just him being a mentor to me since I got here, I can't think of enough for what he is done. Not only for me, for my family so, so much respect and love for Doug."

On the challenges against Chicago:
"Yeah, just focus on the little things, the details, and how can we be better with that? And it comes throughout the week of preparation. It's a player's league and at some point we gotta go out there, we gotta take accountability and we can't have, the margin of error is real small in the NFL, so you can't get away with too much stuff. So, luckily that it didn't, we're not talking about this coming off a loss. And we're able to go back out there and focus and prepare the right way for the next week."
* On his connection with WR Noah Brown:*
"Yeah, well, he's a great dude, even outside of football. Just who he is, how he came in, he goes to work, very smart, very high football IQ. And he's a good route runner, knows how to get open, very savvy and we're lucky to have him in his room and part of his team and his brotherhood."

*On where the team has grown the most this season: *"Yeah, I think really just the fight for one another. We go out there, we know that we got each other's backs. Win, lose or draw, so there's no point of fingers, there's no, 'Oh, well this person should have did this.' Nah, I mean, at the end of the day we're all going out there and we're fighting for one common goal, that's to get a win."

On if he's not a cold weather guy:
"Nah, [wearing a hoodie] was for a different reason. So, I just like the look."

On when he knows to get WR Terry McLaurin the ball and what he's learned about McLaurin as a receiver:

"When the defense permits it. That's how I know when to get him the ball, but I mean, Terry is obviously, his resume speaks for itself. And I'm glad that he's on my team."
