You know, you still don't know even when 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,240 Speaker 1: they finalized the roster. You know, so many things can happen. 13 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,160 Speaker 1: So UM, I was just sitting, you know, just waiting 14 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: to hear what was gonna happen. And then, um, you 15 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 1: know when I was, when I was one of the 16 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 1: guys that kept I was just I was excited and uh, 17 00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 1: you know, just just ready to go excited for this season. 18 00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 1: After today's moves, what do you think you showed them 19 00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:49,480 Speaker 1: this summer that made such a strong impression on Pat 20 00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 1: and and day to everybody else. I don't know, I think, um, 21 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,000 Speaker 1: just just doing what the coaches asked me to do, 22 00:00:55,160 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: you know, be uh be a quick decision maker, UM, 23 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: be smart with the football, be accurate. You let the 24 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: guys uh get yards after catch by throwing it accurately, 25 00:01:04,720 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 1: and and just know one where to go with the football. 26 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,680 Speaker 1: And I think, uh, you know, there were some rough 27 00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: practices towards the end of camp and a couple of 28 00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: games I wish, you know, I played a little bit better, 29 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,000 Speaker 1: but all in all, I felt like I showed improvement 30 00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,280 Speaker 1: throughout the whole camp, and uh, I was on the 31 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: right track. And you know, I think there's a lot 32 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:21,080 Speaker 1: I can improve on, and um a lot that I 33 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: will improve on. And um, but like I said, I 34 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,120 Speaker 1: mean we have we we have great coaches and especially 35 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 1: coach i Ember being an offensive guy. Um, he's been 36 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:30,679 Speaker 1: a great help to me. And you know, I think 37 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: I can only keep getting better, you know, with with 38 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520 Speaker 1: him at the helms have mentioned the quick decision making 39 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 1: at the podium today. How valuable was that in this system? 40 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: It's valuable, I mean in any system really, I mean, 41 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,000 Speaker 1: you gotta be quick with the football and get rid 42 00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 1: of it on time, and um, you know, and anytime 43 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,320 Speaker 1: you get rid of the ball it makes it tough 44 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,200 Speaker 1: for the pass rusher to get to you. And if 45 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:50,559 Speaker 1: you can throw it accurately, um, you just stay ahead 46 00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: of the chains and keep the ball moving. And that's 47 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: kind of our m O as an offense. Uh, So 48 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: you know I'm gonna look to do that and continue 49 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:01,280 Speaker 1: to improve moving forward right now there, I mean, yeah, 50 00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:04,200 Speaker 1: there's definitely uncertainty. I think. Um, you know, obviously Eli 51 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 1: is the guy, and we're gonna do everything we can 52 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:09,920 Speaker 1: to help him. Um prepare, but but Alex, Alex and 53 00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: I both have to be ready to go in Um. 54 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,960 Speaker 1: You know, it only takes one place something something bad 55 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,440 Speaker 1: to happen, so um, we'll be ready to go. But 56 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:19,000 Speaker 1: you know, I don't know my role right now, but uh, 57 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,000 Speaker 1: if I did, it really wouldn't change anything. So I'm 58 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: just gonna approach it the same way and continue to 59 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: learn and and help ten out as much as I can. 60 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: Not ready to you think you aren't play in a 61 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: regular season game, and I'm ready.

But yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah, sure, 74 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 1: you grow up. I mean I watched The Hard Knocks 75 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,359 Speaker 1: a million times, and you know they show you how 76 00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,240 Speaker 1: guys get cut and how how tough it is to 77 00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:12,360 Speaker 1: move on. I mean, these are guys that we've uh 78 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,240 Speaker 1: spent a lot of time with in the past couple 79 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:16,520 Speaker 1: of months. So it's tough getting to know all these 80 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: guys and then having to say goodbye, especially especially seeing 81 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: Davis like that.
