Now, how do you you know, could you 0:11:26.720 --> 0:11:27.600 find with itself? 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:28.640 You know, such a quarterback? 0:11:29.040 --> 0:11:30.640 What do you think is the key to the go 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:31.360 being back with? 0:11:31.679 --> 0:11:32.800 What's your quarterback? 0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:33.240 Uh? 0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:38.520 Practice? Coming out here working together? Uh communicating? Uh you 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:41.520 even if we complete something, still just asking him what 0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:42.000 he likes. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:42.320 Uh. 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:46.719 Communication is key. I played with probably you know, more 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:51.080 quarterbacks than any receiver, so uh, you know I've learned communication. Uh. 0:11:51.160 --> 0:11:52.599 And and not just on the field, but off the 0:11:52.640 --> 0:11:53.160 field as well. 0:11:54.120 --> 0:11:56.760 Is there any think that you surprised you back? And 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:58.760 you know him on the field and off the field. 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:00.760 I do you have expectation what the guys. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.839 Like from afar and then you get together and who 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:03.360 have you learned? 0:12:04.920 --> 0:12:08.439 He's a competitor at everything, Alright. I saw him in there, 0:12:08.640 --> 0:12:11.640 you know, shooting shooting hoops on the basketball goal and 0:12:12.280 --> 0:12:14.240 you know he didn't wanna lose, so uh, you know 0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:16.320 that says a lot about him and who he is. Uh. 0:12:16.520 --> 0:12:18.840 Just little things like that. And uh you know obviously 0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:20.880 on the football field, if he uh, if he you know, 0:12:21.000 --> 0:12:24.000 makes a mistake or doesn't you know, complete the ball 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.719 that he wants to, he's hard on himself. Uh. And 0:12:26.920 --> 0:12:28.760 you know no one has to say anything to him, 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.559 but you know that's why he is who he is. 0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:34.040 The quarterbacks said he grew up with You know, how 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:36.960 long do you do pitch the gains and and get. 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:38.240 The chemis straight down with these guys? 0:12:38.520 --> 0:12:38.600 Uh? 0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:40.199 I do I look, yeah, I don't I don't think 0:12:40.240 --> 0:12:42.959 it's like a time frame. I think it differs. You know, 0:12:43.120 --> 0:12:45.880 a guy like Lamar who's the veteran quarterback, you know, 0:12:46.000 --> 0:12:48.480 he he's played a lot of football, and uh myself, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.400 I play a lot of football, so you know we 0:12:50.480 --> 0:12:52.640 see things different. Uh you know, but you know I've 0:12:52.679 --> 0:12:55.360 had rookie quarterbacks that this took longer. So it differs. 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:56.240 It. 0:12:56.440 --> 0:12:59.479 Look the things you and Jay and Batonnverers. 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:01.720 What impressions that you guys have been able to get out. 0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.319 Here on the hield together and because of what you 0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:03.920 guys can. 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.400 Do to do feels good?
