WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford Meets Philly

0:00:01.240 --> 0:00:09.800
<v Speaker 1>He's Sam. Are you say fire away, let's go starting quarterback? Um?

0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:12.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, I really haven't even thought about that. I'm

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:15.280
<v Speaker 1>still trying to process this whole move. Um. You know,

0:00:15.320 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>I think I found out less than twenty four hours ago.

0:00:18.040 --> 0:00:19.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, my main goal right now is to get healthy,

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>and once I get healthy, to start learning this offense,

0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:26.040
<v Speaker 1>and then when I'm ready to get on the field,

0:00:26.079 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>whether that's OTA's training camp, is to compete for the

0:00:28.880 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>starting job. You know, I don't want anything handed to me.

0:00:31.240 --> 0:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>I want to earn it, and that's the way I'm

0:00:33.159 --> 0:00:40.479
<v Speaker 1>approaching this. Um. You know, it's kind of up in

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:43.360
<v Speaker 1>the air right now. Um. We really haven't sat down

0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>and talked about it. When I was in Saint Louis,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.720
<v Speaker 1>that's where I've been rehabbing. We've been taking it kind

0:00:47.760 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 1>of day to day, week to week. UM. You know,

0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.599
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure when I get here to start rehab, I'll

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>sit down with the training staff here and we'll come

0:00:55.000 --> 0:00:56.520
<v Speaker 1>up with a plan. You know, I'm sure they want

0:00:56.520 --> 0:00:58.560
<v Speaker 1>to look at me and see where I'm at in

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>their eyes, and then we can go from there. A

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>quarterback situation. Um. Yeah, I had the opportunity to talk

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.720
<v Speaker 1>to coach Kelly for probably ten minutes. It was great. Um,

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, we didn't even get into that. You know,

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.600
<v Speaker 1>he's just excited that I'm here. I'm excited to be here,

0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, when I get back in the building,

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.119
<v Speaker 1>you know, and start to get healthy and then get

0:01:22.160 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on the field, we can talk about what my role

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>is going to be. Excitement. Um, you know, it's one

0:01:29.560 --> 0:01:31.319
<v Speaker 1>of those things. You know, this has been in the

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:34.120
<v Speaker 1>works for a while, and so it didn't catch me

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 1>totally by surprise when it happened yesterday. You know, I

0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.520
<v Speaker 1>think any quarterback in this league would love to play

0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.560
<v Speaker 1>for Chip in his offense, it's extremely quarterback friendly. Um.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:46.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, in the tape that I've watched, it just

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:47.960
<v Speaker 1>looks like it's a lot of fun to play in.

0:01:48.000 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>I think it's similar to what I did in college

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:53.560
<v Speaker 1>at Oklahoma. So you know, I'm extremely excited to be

0:01:53.640 --> 0:01:59.360
<v Speaker 1>here and ready to get rolling times. What exactly do

0:01:59.400 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>you mean by that? And your system is quarterback threatening.

0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.760
<v Speaker 1>The way they set up progressions, the way the ball

0:02:03.800 --> 0:02:06.000
<v Speaker 1>comes out of your hands, the way they deal with protections,

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the run game. You know, like I said, I haven't

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:10.560
<v Speaker 1>got into too many details. It's only been from what

0:02:10.600 --> 0:02:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I've seen. But from what I've seen, you know, it

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.959
<v Speaker 1>looks that everything goes through the quarterback. What do you like?

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>How do you see things? And then they're going to

0:02:18.639 --> 0:02:20.120
<v Speaker 1>tailor it from there. It's not They're never going to

0:02:20.200 --> 0:02:22.560
<v Speaker 1>put you in a bad situation where you have nowhere

0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:24.320
<v Speaker 1>to go with the football and you're standing back. They're

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 1>holding onto it for you know, five seconds. It's part. Yeah,

0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:35.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously, I think that's one of the reasons

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited. Um. You know, when Pat was in Saint Louis,

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>we had a great relationship. It was great to see

0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:42.880
<v Speaker 1>him here today, and you know, I look forward to

0:02:42.919 --> 0:02:47.200
<v Speaker 1>continue in that relationship with Pat. About this being in

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>the film's world with a while, is that coming to

0:02:49.720 --> 0:02:53.720
<v Speaker 1>the Eagles before the registrating coming to the Eagles? Yes?

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:57.240
<v Speaker 1>So how long did you know this was a possibility? Um,

0:02:57.280 --> 0:03:01.640
<v Speaker 1>I knew this was a possibility probably three four weeks ago.

0:03:03.080 --> 0:03:05.880
<v Speaker 1>That it wasn't so much San Luis Blue, We're trying

0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>to move you, but con and Santois insane? Hey, would

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.239
<v Speaker 1>you that's the way I'm looking at it. Yes, you know,

0:03:12.280 --> 0:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm excited for the opportunity I think that, you know,

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.120
<v Speaker 1>Chip and the Eagles wanted me here and I'm excited

0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:20.359
<v Speaker 1>to be here. Mentioned before that the Rehab twite to

0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.480
<v Speaker 1>table you doctor rehab on that what had com there

0:03:24.880 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>that expeage? Where were you then? Um, you know it's similar,

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, obviously it's a lot of the same exercises.

0:03:31.320 --> 0:03:34.440
<v Speaker 1>Familiar with the process in itself. I think this time,

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, after talking to doctor Andrews and the training

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.040
<v Speaker 1>staff and Saint Louis, you know, we decided to take

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>this one a little slower. Prayer doctor Andrews recommendations. Um,

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>I believe that the team doctor here spoke with Doctor

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Andrews today and like I said, I'm sure that you know,

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:51.840
<v Speaker 1>the training staff here will talk to him myself. You know,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 1>we'll come up with a plan. But I would say

0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.280
<v Speaker 1>it's been a little slower this time around. There was

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy yesterday and a local TV show who's a

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>knee expert, who said the closeness that for two news reasons,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.640
<v Speaker 1>very aliment saying that's that's old news and things check.

0:04:07.080 --> 0:04:11.720
<v Speaker 1>How Um, that would be the first time I've ever

0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:14.440
<v Speaker 1>heard that, So that's really not alarming to me. You know,

0:04:14.480 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, you've seen players come back from

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:19.360
<v Speaker 1>acls before. You've seen guys come from two even three

0:04:19.400 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>a cls, So I'm not really worried about that. I'm

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:23.799
<v Speaker 1>just working hard every day to get back to healthy

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:27.480
<v Speaker 1>samel in the same spot. You know, with that obviously,

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.440
<v Speaker 1>it's like even athlete and can be damaged. Do you

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 1>have any doubt that you can be able to come

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>back from this and be the same same lad that

0:04:35.040 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>led you to becoming the number one players? No, I

0:04:38.080 --> 0:04:39.480
<v Speaker 1>mean I'd be lying if I said that. You know,

0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>I probably wasn't going to be a little nervous the

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:43.080
<v Speaker 1>first time I stepped on the field. You know, I

0:04:43.080 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>think anyone who's gone through what I've gone through would

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>be a little nervous to step back on the field.

0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>But I'm sure once I get out there and the

0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.640
<v Speaker 1>bullets start flying, you know, when I take that first hit,

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:53.600
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably shake it off and I'll be just fine.

0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Sort do you think it is more of a place

0:04:56.279 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of you know, I just think it's kind of one

0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>of those freak deals. You know, from everyone I've talked to,

0:05:00.000 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, our team docs in Saint Louis, doctor Andrews,

0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:04.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, they just thought that it was one of

0:05:04.360 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>those things that I got hit a certain way two times,

0:05:07.440 --> 0:05:10.320
<v Speaker 1>and you know, regardless of whether my aco was an

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:13.120
<v Speaker 1>original a repair, it was going to tear. And so

0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it just happened when you look at what

0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:18.159
<v Speaker 1>you've accomplished up to this point, because as a pro quarterback,

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.440
<v Speaker 1>do you still feel you have something to prove? Absolutely?

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.240
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think I have a lot to prove.

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:24.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, I have a lot to prove to everyone

0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>in this building. You know, I think Coach Kelly took

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 1>a leap of faith bringing me in here. Obviously he

0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:32.039
<v Speaker 1>believes in me, and now it's my time to prove

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>to everyone else in this building that I belong here.

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:39.839
<v Speaker 1>Offering a contract extension if you take it. Um. Like

0:05:39.920 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>I said, I haven't got that far yet. I'm still

0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>trying to comprehend this um. You know. I'm sure that's

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:47.400
<v Speaker 1>something that will happen down the line. But you know,

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:50.159
<v Speaker 1>until that happens, I really don't know. A lot of

0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>people are skeptical about this, giving your injury history. For you,

0:05:53.760 --> 0:05:56.560
<v Speaker 1>someone that takes that chance as a motivation, do you

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>ignore it? How do you take that? I think it's motivation,

0:05:59.240 --> 0:06:01.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, But I understand it from their standpoint. You know,

0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.360
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably be a little apprehensive too, But you know,

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I know how hard I've worked to get back the

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.360
<v Speaker 1>second time around. Um, you know I'm ready to go,

0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:10.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, as soon as they clear me. I can't

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:12.680
<v Speaker 1>wait to get on the field. And I don't think

0:06:12.680 --> 0:06:14.800
<v Speaker 1>anyone should be worried. I think that once they see

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:16.920
<v Speaker 1>me on the field and they see how hard I'm

0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.480
<v Speaker 1>gonna work to get back, I think all those doubts

0:06:19.520 --> 0:06:22.320
<v Speaker 1>will be gone from their minds. I know you said

0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>that you don't know when you'll be ready. Will you

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:35.080
<v Speaker 1>be ready by training camp? Yes? Yes, yes, yes, yeah, absolutely.

0:06:35.240 --> 0:06:36.880
<v Speaker 1>You know I've been trying my hardest. You know, I

0:06:37.160 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>call them, my text them, I've done everything. You know,

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.919
<v Speaker 1>We've been in communication. You know. I think if we

0:06:41.920 --> 0:06:44.080
<v Speaker 1>could somehow land to Marco would be a great pick up.

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:45.840
<v Speaker 1>You know, not only is he a great player, he's

0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>a great person. You know, he's a really close friend

0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>of mine too. But you know, I really think that

0:06:49.640 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>he could help this ball club. Um, we'll find out.

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.599
<v Speaker 1>I hope so optimistic. It was doctor Randers. When you

0:06:56.600 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>know it's a safety that got hurt and seems you

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>believe it could be back strawer than you have been. Yeah,

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.720
<v Speaker 1>he does. You know, he was very optimistic. I mean,

0:07:05.760 --> 0:07:07.679
<v Speaker 1>this isn't the first time that it's happened to someone.

0:07:08.000 --> 0:07:10.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's seen people come back from two. You know,

0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>there's guys in this league that have torn their ECL

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 1>three times. So he was very optimistic that I get

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.680
<v Speaker 1>bet could get back to the level that I was

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>before the injury. A sign from the ECL they were

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>injury in he or two with the Rams going back

0:07:22.400 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>building on the why do you think Spain an ongoing

0:07:27.280 --> 0:07:29.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. You know, I wish I had an

0:07:29.000 --> 0:07:31.200
<v Speaker 1>answer for you. Um no one likes to be injured.

0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:33.280
<v Speaker 1>No one wants to be injured. No one asked to

0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>be injured. I think it's something that just happens, and

0:07:35.280 --> 0:07:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you have to deal with it and make the best

0:07:37.160 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>of it. And that's what I'm trying to do with

0:07:38.840 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>this fresh start right now. Did you three or four

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.640
<v Speaker 1>weeks ago that Eagles were interested did you get the

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>sense there were I mean, where the possibilities other teams

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.000
<v Speaker 1>were interested in? Two other landing spots for you, Um, yeah,

0:07:49.080 --> 0:07:51.560
<v Speaker 1>I think there were some other possibilities, but you know,

0:07:51.600 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I knew all along that this is the place that

0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be. I know, you just met ship,

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.560
<v Speaker 1>but he's kind of getting this reputation as a mad

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>scientists going up a lot of things around here. What

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.520
<v Speaker 1>were your impressions both meeting him and what you thought

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>you knew before? Had I love him? I mean just

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:09.880
<v Speaker 1>in you know, the ten twenty minutes we got to

0:08:09.920 --> 0:08:12.040
<v Speaker 1>spend together today, and you know, I think the thing

0:08:12.040 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 1>that I love about him is how much confidence he

0:08:14.320 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>has in himself and his system. Um. You know, obviously

0:08:17.160 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of people who've been in this league

0:08:18.800 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>for a long time who think things should be done

0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.600
<v Speaker 1>a certain way. You know, he's not one of those guys.

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:26.280
<v Speaker 1>He believes in his system, he believes in his ways

0:08:26.280 --> 0:08:28.920
<v Speaker 1>of training, and he believes that they're going to be successful.

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know, you got to love someone who has

0:08:31.240 --> 0:08:36.360
<v Speaker 1>that confidence. Tell you place, you know, big offensive guys

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:41.240
<v Speaker 1>who thought to do You know, we haven't even gotten

0:08:41.240 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>into that. You know, again, I've been here for a

0:08:43.480 --> 0:08:44.960
<v Speaker 1>couple of hours. I think I spent most of the

0:08:45.000 --> 0:08:47.360
<v Speaker 1>day with the doctors today, so we really haven't talked

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>a ton about that. It was to see, oh, absolutely

0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure that's something will get into Even though you

0:08:54.760 --> 0:08:57.480
<v Speaker 1>have been able to place since last summer, have you

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.080
<v Speaker 1>been able to throw it all and keep that aspects? Yeah,

0:09:01.120 --> 0:09:03.719
<v Speaker 1>I have. Um, you know, I've started a throwing program,

0:09:03.760 --> 0:09:05.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I started probably two or three weeks ago

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.760
<v Speaker 1>in Saint Louis. You know, I've been able to throw

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:09.680
<v Speaker 1>for a while now, but just tried to come back,

0:09:10.040 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, at the same time that I would in

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a regular offseason. So throwing hasn't been a problems. Structure

0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 1>changes had effect they had on your period first. Um,

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not really sure I could answer that.

0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think the key to any successful organization

0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:29.000
<v Speaker 1>is stability, you know, regardless of whether that's a professional

0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:32.720
<v Speaker 1>sports business, you know, whatever it is. Um, And that's

0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.160
<v Speaker 1>something that we just didn't have a lot of in

0:09:34.280 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>Saint Louis. But you know, I think there's a lot

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of other reasons that things have gone the way they have.

0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Some people have mentioned maybe you weren't getting enough business

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:44.079
<v Speaker 1>offense probect during the biggest of injuries and struggles there too.

0:09:44.440 --> 0:09:46.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you always look at me and you weren't getting

0:09:46.000 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>a full full deck in terms of on offense, No,

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not going to sit here and make

0:09:51.400 --> 0:09:54.840
<v Speaker 1>excuses for you know, the way things are. Um, I'm

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:56.920
<v Speaker 1>just excited to be here, you know. I think I

0:09:56.960 --> 0:09:59.040
<v Speaker 1>look at the opportunity ahead of me, you know, I

0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.720
<v Speaker 1>think it's a great one. I'm looking forward to the

0:10:01.720 --> 0:10:03.440
<v Speaker 1>fresh start and I can't wait to get back up

0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:05.680
<v Speaker 1>here and just spend time with Coach Kelly, you know,

0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 1>and get to really dive into this offense. It's that

0:10:08.840 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you've seen some similaritious between what the Eagles doing you

0:10:12.160 --> 0:10:15.440
<v Speaker 1>get in college. What about your skill set fits into

0:10:15.480 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>those types of assistance? Just you know, I think making

0:10:17.920 --> 0:10:20.040
<v Speaker 1>quick decisions, getting the ball out of your hand. You know,

0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the run pass options are similar to

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.680
<v Speaker 1>what we did in college, you know, obviously not me

0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>running the football, but the running backs with some of

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:28.960
<v Speaker 1>the quick game and then pushing the ball down the

0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.559
<v Speaker 1>field and play action. Um, there's just a lot of

0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 1>carry over and to what we did at Oklahoma. And

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.120
<v Speaker 1>I think my skill set fits that perfectly. In so much,

0:10:37.200 --> 0:10:40.200
<v Speaker 1>do you feel like Saint Louis Gay up on you? Um? No,

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.960
<v Speaker 1>not at all. I think the way I look at

0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>it is the Eagles wanted me, they pursued me and

0:10:44.840 --> 0:10:46.960
<v Speaker 1>they got me in this building, and I'm happy to

0:10:47.000 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>be an Eagle and I'm ready to get to work,

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.640
<v Speaker 1>to compete for the job. And you were my number

0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.880
<v Speaker 1>one Bit send me a million dollar quarterback, the franchise quarterback.

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:01.520
<v Speaker 1>How do you go into a situation with Sanchez and

0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.640
<v Speaker 1>you kind of look at it as as as competing

0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>what you're used to be the number one guy? You know,

0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I think you look at it anytime you enter a

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.280
<v Speaker 1>new workplace. When I came into the league, you know,

0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>I competed with a J. Feely who was a quarterback here.

0:11:13.960 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>And I think that's the mindset that you always have

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:17.840
<v Speaker 1>to have, you know, whether you've been a starter for

0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.719
<v Speaker 1>five years, ten years, twelve years, when you get the

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>training camp every year, it's a competition. And that's the

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>way I've always viewed it. And so I don't think

0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:29.960
<v Speaker 1>anything's going to change in my approach Oklahoma and Sanfully,

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.240
<v Speaker 1>I would think that man and the immediate and fan intention,

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:39.760
<v Speaker 1>it's not quite philadelph and you understand that. Um I'm

0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.520
<v Speaker 1>not sure, but uh, like I said, I'm up for

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>a challenge. You know, I know that there's some days

0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>you guys are probably gonna love me. Some days, you

0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.719
<v Speaker 1>guys are gonna hate me, and that's just part of it.

0:11:47.880 --> 0:11:50.920
<v Speaker 1>And you know, hopefully there's more days of love than hate.

0:11:50.960 --> 0:11:53.040
<v Speaker 1>But it's gonna be a fun ride. I know that.

0:11:59.080 --> 0:12:02.520
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't say. Yeah. I think any player when you

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:05.040
<v Speaker 1>come into this league, you know, everyone has the dream

0:12:05.080 --> 0:12:08.440
<v Speaker 1>of playing, you know, twelve fifteen, whatever it is. You

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.880
<v Speaker 1>know that many years with the club that brought you

0:12:10.920 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>into the league. But you know, like I said, I

0:12:13.360 --> 0:12:15.719
<v Speaker 1>think this is a great opportunity. You know, if it's

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:17.880
<v Speaker 1>not in Saint Louis, I think this is the one

0:12:17.920 --> 0:12:19.839
<v Speaker 1>place that a quarterback would want to be and this

0:12:19.880 --> 0:12:21.400
<v Speaker 1>is where I want to be. And I'm an Eagle

0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.760
<v Speaker 1>now and I can't wait to start this journey. Was

0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.480
<v Speaker 1>it hard to because you had that second tier last

0:12:26.480 --> 0:12:32.280
<v Speaker 1>se get yourself mentally ready to do that again? Yeah,

0:12:32.320 --> 0:12:35.040
<v Speaker 1>it really was. You know, I think this second time around,

0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I think it was probably harder mentally than it was physically,

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:41.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, to put all the work in to come

0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:43.160
<v Speaker 1>back and to be ready, and you know, I felt

0:12:43.200 --> 0:12:45.040
<v Speaker 1>like I was playing at a very high level in

0:12:45.120 --> 0:12:48.560
<v Speaker 1>training camp last year. You know, to have that all

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:51.680
<v Speaker 1>taken away again, you know, there was a brief period

0:12:51.679 --> 0:12:53.320
<v Speaker 1>of time where I really wasn't sure that I wanted

0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:56.160
<v Speaker 1>to go through it again. But you know, I went

0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.040
<v Speaker 1>home kind of cleared my head for a week and

0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:01.200
<v Speaker 1>realized that there's no way that football cannot be a

0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:04.880
<v Speaker 1>part of my life. Change. I mean, people addst is

0:13:05.000 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>something change? Do you feel changed by experience? Is I'm

0:13:08.600 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>harder than you to do a different guy today than

0:13:12.320 --> 0:13:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't think so, you know, I think that's what

0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:15.199
<v Speaker 1>you guys are going to find out, is you know,

0:13:15.200 --> 0:13:17.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna be the same guy up here, you know,

0:13:17.240 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>day in and day out. And you know, I think

0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 1>I found that I truly love this game. You know,

0:13:21.520 --> 0:13:23.560
<v Speaker 1>I've had it taken away from me, you know, twice

0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>in the past two years, and I think when something's

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:28.160
<v Speaker 1>taken away from you, you really realize how much you

0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>love it
