I think he's locked in to 108 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: that point. I mean last week, man, he was he 109 00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: was determined to play. It's just the NFL has a 110 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: straight protocol and that's what happened. You know. I was grateful, 111 00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: But at the same time, you know, I felt for 112 00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,559 Speaker 1: him because I know how how much work he puts 113 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,800 Speaker 1: in and I know how he prepares, and I just 114 00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:10,280 Speaker 1: told him I had his back. But we're not doing 115 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: anything different. We're still having the same conversations. He's still 116 00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: putting in his work. Uh and and hopefully this week 117 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,400 Speaker 1: he'll he'll be able to bounce back and help lead 118 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: us to a win. 119 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,279 Speaker 3: James, you know you guys are playing Drake May. 120 00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 2: This week by hisself.

What how 127 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,240 Speaker 3: could he follow in their footsteps? 128 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 1: I think the unique thing about Jackson is he's played 129 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: very well for this to be his rookie year. 130 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,920 Speaker 2: Both played very well last year. 131 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 1: Drake is coming into his own man, and it's and 132 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: it starts with the leadership that they have at the 133 00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: head coach position and coach Mike Mike Babel. I just 134 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 1: love I was with him a little bit in Cleveland. 135 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:09,200 Speaker 1: I just love the man that he is. His quarterback coach, 136 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 1: Ashton Grant was with me in Cleveland, so I know 137 00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 1: the work that he's putting in every single day. 138 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:15,719 Speaker 2: Uh. 139 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: And obviously I think to have Josh McDaniel's back, you know, 140 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 1: being one of those pillars of OC's calling plays when 141 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:26,359 Speaker 1: Tom Brady was calling plays. It gives Drake just that 142 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 1: natural juju that that organization has been creating, you know, 143 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,760 Speaker 1: since I've been alive. So he's doing a great job. 144 00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:36,160 Speaker 1: I'm very proud of him and what he's doing. And also, man, 145 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:37,919 Speaker 1: he has some vido in that quarterback room. You know, 146 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:39,320 Speaker 1: when you got some of the vido in your room, 147 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,000 Speaker 1: you know, you get a little extra swag. You know, 148 00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,280 Speaker 1: you get some street cred instantly, you know when you. 149 00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: Have the veto around you. 150 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: And I love Dobbs as well, So I just think 151 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,880 Speaker 1: everything that's surrounding him, what they're doing to help build 152 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:56,200 Speaker 1: him up. Getting step On in the off season, signing 153 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: the young running back out of Ohio State, having hunting 154 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:01,880 Speaker 1: here and read what they're building around him is something 155 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: that's special. And I think that's something that you don't 156 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,240 Speaker 1: see here with the New York Football Giants, with Jackson 157 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: Dark being already showing that he can be a superstar 158 00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 1: quarterback in this league. 159 00:07:14,120 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 6: James, is this different for you in the sense that 160 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 6: you know what your contract says for next year, I mean, 161 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,480 Speaker 6: you want to be here. The fact that if you 162 00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 6: weren't here beyond this season contractually, does it feel different 163 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 6: because you are a part of this, regardless of whether 164 00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,400 Speaker 6: it could be one, Q be two. There's something building 165 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 6: here and you are a part of it, regardless of what. 166 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: Your role is. 167 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like every team has a one year lifespan, 168 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: and in this team, I'm a part of this one 169 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,320 Speaker 1: year lifespan for this team. Now. I see great things 170 00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 1: coming in the future, you know, But I can't be 171 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,160 Speaker 1: there yet, you know. I have to focus on what 172 00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: we are now and right now. I see a young 173 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: team that is hungry and determined to get better. And 174 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,040 Speaker 1: I believe that we have the sas in this building 175 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: to make us splash and be a very good football team. 176 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,640 Speaker 1: We just have not shown it consistently in the win 177 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 1: column on the football field. So I'm excited obviously for 178 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 1: what lies ahead of us. But the most important thing 179 00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 1: that lies ahead of us right now is the best 180 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: team in the AFC is coming. Well, We're going to 181 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 1: the house, you know, having to play Monday night football there. 182 00:08:23,760 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 1: So I think this is another opportunity that we get 183 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:30,040 Speaker 1: to show against a great football team what we have 184 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,280 Speaker 1: here in this building. 185 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 2: Even very supportive of dark. 186 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,000 Speaker 5: But is it hard you go on to play play 187 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,400 Speaker 5: the way you did on Sunday and know you're mostly 188 00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 5: going back to the bench and maybe not play against year. 189 00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 5: Is that just hard as a competitor and someone like yourself. 190 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: I mean as a competitor, competitor, like I said, always 191 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,040 Speaker 1: what I want for myself, I want for everyone, you know, 192 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,280 Speaker 1: And uh yeah, I want to play like that.
