1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, good to see you. What words of

2
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:08,560
Speaker 1: wisdom if any? Did Matt get the ship rid thea

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: there for a little bit?

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,559
Speaker 2: Oh No, it was mostly Jacoby talking because I guess

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:15,600
Speaker 2: him and Jacoby know each other from I mean, Jacoby's old,

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: so he's kind of knows some of those old hey guys. So, uh,

7
00:00:18,440 --> 00:00:19,480
Speaker 2: just kind of just my first.

8
00:00:19,360 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: Time meeting Matt. So it was pretty cool just to

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: meet him.

10
00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:26,400
Speaker 3: Really, when we talked you back in the spring, he said,

11
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 3: they told you gotta have a chance to compete, right, Yeah,

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 3: so you talked about that word alive and then during

13
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,320
Speaker 3: military mini camp it seemed like Drake when ahead of

14
00:00:34,360 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 3: you in the pecking order, and it's remained that way

15
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: and at times you've seen you it's the fourth guy

16
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 3: pecking order. Do you feel like you've been given the

17
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,280
Speaker 3: opportunity that we talked about in the spring that to

18
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:44,880
Speaker 3: compete for this for this job?

19
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: I mean that's really up to the coaches and what

20
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 2: they think and what they see. Fifth obviously, uh males

21
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: preach you know, quality or equality over quantity, So that's

22
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 2: kind of been my mindset going to this whole training

23
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 2: camp is no matter how it's five ever ten or

24
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: today none.

25
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna do everything I can to help.

26
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 2: The team win as far as like helping Jacobe out,

27
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: helping Drake out after like what they go through their series,

28
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: and it's kind of my mindset going to this training

29
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,400
Speaker 2: camp was just improve one of the things that you know,

30
00:01:13,440 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 2: I struggled with last year as far as turn the

31
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: ball over, you know, going in to the training camp.

32
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Now, you know I've been careful with the ball. I

33
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: haven't had a turnover.

34
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: So I think just just continueing that and I think

35
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: the reps are gonna come.

36
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: That stuff's gonna come.

37
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: You know, I believe in the coaches and everything, and

38
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: I feel like if the opportunity presents itself, I'll take

39
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 2: advantage of it.

40
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: Obviously hard, right not.

41
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,959
Speaker 3: Are you sort of involved in the mix in terms

42
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 3: of getting those post reps? You said today zero and

43
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:40,839
Speaker 3: that's started eight games, where it's a that's.

44
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: A little hot to see. Yeah, I mean it is hard.

45
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,160
Speaker 1: You know, you look back, you started eight games in

46
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: the year.

47
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 2: Obviously that's you know, you have that in your on

48
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 2: your resume, so you know, nobody's ever gonna forget that,

49
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 2: whether it's here, whether it's wherever.

50
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: Obviously I want to be here. I want to play here.

51
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: I want to do everything I can to help this

52
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 1: organization win.

53
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 2: But you know it is hard, but I'm trying to

54
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 2: be the best teammate I.

55
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: Can't because you know that's what especially this team, and

56
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: that's a lot we can win games. And whether I'm

57
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: out in the field or almost sidel I'm gonna do

58
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: everything I can to help the guys.

59
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: We'll talk to you like coming in, like did you

60
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 2: know coming in this practice that you wouldn't have any

61
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:15,400
Speaker 2: team reps?

62
00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: Like how does that communicated to you? And sort of

63
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:18,919
Speaker 1: what's the message from the coaching staff.

64
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 3: If it is.

65
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:21,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I guess I found out this morning

66
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 2: whenever we went over the script and the plays and everything,

67
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:27,399
Speaker 2: and it was just kind of like, you know, keep

68
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 2: doing what you're doing. I feel like, you know, throughout

69
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: this training camp, I've been doing good as far as

70
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 2: the command of the offense and operation and protecting the football.

71
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: So, I mean, everybody's been telling me just keep doing

72
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 1: what you're doing. Everything will be fine. Everything will take

73
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:38,959
Speaker 1: care of yourself.

74
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 3: You know, your body of work, with what you've done

75
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 3: in your NFL career along with this training camp and

76
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 3: making sure that's in order for you no matter what happens.

77
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean obviously that's stuff's there. I mean everybody

78
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 2: can look it up and go look at it. I

79
00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: mean I've played eight games, four and four not a

80
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,359
Speaker 2: very mean I guess that's what the record. I guess

81
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: you want football games in the NFL. But just for me,

82
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 2: this training camp is just trying to improve them with

83
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,160
Speaker 2: things that you look back at last year that I

84
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 2: struggled with, you know, as far as the mistakes of

85
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,040
Speaker 2: the football and not being careful with.

86
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: The football and that cost his football game.

87
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:11,320
Speaker 2: So, like I said, and I told him, it's just

88
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 2: this training campus protecting the football, which I have up

89
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: to this point probably jinks myself.

90
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: But just keep doing that and just.

91
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 2: Carry that throughout the you know, the next three weeks

92
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 2: of training camp. Obviously the preseason games, Pops out there, Pop,

93
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 2: like get more involved.

94
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: How do you see that sort of help the offense?

95
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: Like in what ways when Pop is out there? You know,

96
00:03:33,639 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Pop's a very dynamic player. We have a lot of guys.

97
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: I think that's you know, you used to take a

98
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 2: step back and you look at our receiver group, right

99
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: now and it's all a lot of those guys can run,

100
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 2: you know, a lot of the Route three, if not

101
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 2: all of it.

102
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: So you know, all those guys are dynamic.

103
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: All those guys, majority of them can go outside and inside.

104
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: You know, Pop is just one of those guys.

105
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 2: And I mean you look at some of the routes

106
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 2: he ran to day on that read it route that

107
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:54,880
Speaker 2: Shoob hit him on, that.

108
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: Was that was pretty impressive.

109
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 2: But you know that just speaks volumes to the depth

110
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 2: that we have with all the great guys we have

111
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,000
Speaker 2: in the receiver room. And it's it's exciting to see

112
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,400
Speaker 2: that dary like this offense is a quarterback.

113
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: Makes it helpful or easy or anything like.

114
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 2: That, I guess just the way it's taught and the

115
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: way AVP teaches it, it's you know, he doesn't make

116
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: it hard on you.

117
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: It makes it you know, this is what you're doing.

118
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: This is what your reads are. If this happens, this

119
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: is what you do.

120
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 2: So that I mean it makes it easy for a

121
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 2: quarterback because you're not thinking, you know, one hundred miles

122
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: an hour.

123
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,120
Speaker 1: And you're kind of just playing with an offense.

124
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: And I think that's the way he just the details

125
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 2: and the way the TC gives us details on our

126
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:34,800
Speaker 2: cans and our alerts and things like that.

127
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: You know, we're going out there playing football.

128
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 2: We're not back there, you know, thinking about all the.

129
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: Hundred things that could possibly happen to us.

130
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,839
Speaker 2: So I think is for all of us quarterbacks, we're

131
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: able to play faster just because of the way they

132
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: teach it and the way this offense is you.

133
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Know, constructed and TC. Then back news around you guys too,

134
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: how if it all has.

135
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: He helped you in the room at large with the

136
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: learning the system in your development?

137
00:04:56,200 --> 00:04:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, Ben's been awesome.

138
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: I actually got to meet Chas McAdoo my rookie year,

139
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 2: uh when I was coming out draft prett, but I

140
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: got a thirty visit with the Panthers whenever he was there,

141
00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 2: so we actually got to you know, meet and hit

142
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: it off, talk ball obviously that was his offense and

143
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 2: the Panthers. So just throwing some questions off his head,

144
00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 2: just kind of picking his brain on some of the things.

145
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 2: I mean, he's coaching Eli, Aaron Mean Banker and those guys.

146
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: I Mean, he's been able to be around a lot

147
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 2: of great quarterbacks, So just kind of picking his brain.

148
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: Obviously, a VP has been around some of those guys

149
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: as well, So as far.

150
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 2: As you know our quarterback room and the coaches that

151
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: we have in there, it's it's great to have those

152
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 2: guys to kind of lean on and ask questions.

153
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: But all right, thanks, thank you, appreciate, thank you,
