1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,480 Speaker 1: Check Wars quarterback Gardner Minshew with us after the third 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,920 Speaker 1: training camp. Practice stopped a little bit short today, but 3 00:00:07,200 --> 00:00:10,159 Speaker 1: through three days of camp so far. How's it going 4 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,920 Speaker 1: for you? How you feeling? Is it what you expected? Yeah, 5 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: it's a lot of what I've expected, But you know, 6 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:16,840 Speaker 1: you learn new things every day, and that's one of 7 00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: the most exciting things to me, just going out there 8 00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,759 Speaker 1: learning new things, trying new things, and just trying to 9 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:25,119 Speaker 1: get better every day. With your experience in your college days, 10 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,400 Speaker 1: just moving around so much and and changing situations as 11 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: as many times as you did, I get a feeling 12 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:32,919 Speaker 1: that not a lot will phasee you in terms of 13 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 1: something new. How different has this NFL experience been in 14 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 1: terms of learning a playbook, a new situation, another new 15 00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 1: place for you. You've done this so many times, it's 16 00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:45,800 Speaker 1: probably not that huge of a deal. No, it's not. 17 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,199 Speaker 1: It's not that big of a deal. The good thing is, 18 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: you know, with us, we have our group of rookies 19 00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:52,559 Speaker 1: that are really tighten in coming in all with the 20 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,160 Speaker 1: same purpose to get better and to try to learn um. 21 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: So that's made it a lot easier and a lot 22 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 1: of fun getting to do it with these guys. You know, 23 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,120 Speaker 1: what's been the most difficult change so far coming to 24 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,760 Speaker 1: the league. Maybe something you didn't expect when you arrived 25 00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: here in the NFL. Man, it's uh, it's obviously a 26 00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:11,119 Speaker 1: demanding schedule, and that's something that you're you know, you're 27 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: warned about. Um. I'd say one of the biggest things 28 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,880 Speaker 1: is just the volume of the playbook and the um 29 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: the details of every play um, because it's easy to 30 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,319 Speaker 1: you know on know it on paper, but to get 31 00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 1: out and do it and no little nuances of each thing. 32 00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: That's where we're at right now and trying to get 33 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:28,560 Speaker 1: better at that so we can actually go out and 34 00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: play games. You've had difficult offenses though in your past. 35 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 1: I mean that the air rate is not you know, 36 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: you're throwing the ball over the yard. You got a 37 00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: lot going on there. Um. How different is this offense 38 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,280 Speaker 1: compared to what you were working in Pullman, Yeah, I 39 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: would just say any NFL offense versus college offense, it's 40 00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 1: just gonna be more detailed. And I think that's the 41 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:50,160 Speaker 1: biggest thing is you know, each play has multiple checks, 42 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: multiple conversions for receiver. So just getting where I'm on 43 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 1: the same page as all the guys we're all seeing 44 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: the same thing. That's just what we're trying to work 45 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,840 Speaker 1: through right now. Gardner Minshew with a Jaguars quarterback. How 46 00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: has the work been with Nick Foles?

To have those four guys, five 60 00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 1: six guys in that room together, how how how tough 61 00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: was that to get that chemistry with you guys or 62 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: is it just kind of come naturally once you're in 63 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,760 Speaker 1: that environment together. No, it definitely comes naturally because it Man, 64 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:49,440 Speaker 1: We're we got a lot of good dudes in the room, 65 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,600 Speaker 1: and that makes it a lot of fun.

You know, 72 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: as a rookie sometimes it can be tough, certainly as 73 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback to to own the huddle. You know, 74 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,200 Speaker 1: a lot of veteran guys that are working there with you, 75 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,480 Speaker 1: within this league for a long time.
