WEBVTT - Brock Purdy Discusses the Importance of ‘Being Consistent’ Under Center | Press Pass

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, got a new haircut. Yeah, appreciate it, thank you,

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:19.599
<v Speaker 1>thank you. What's that Yeah, that's it. Uh yeah, I

0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:22.640
<v Speaker 1>think so. I got some family friends, so I gotta

0:00:22.680 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 1>look look clean because you know, it's the.

0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.200
<v Speaker 2>First time you're going home and playing is a forty

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:28.760
<v Speaker 2>nine or star.

0:00:29.360 --> 0:00:31.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'm excited, you know, to sort of just have

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:35.080
<v Speaker 1>I guess, my family, my friends, just people in my

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>life growing up man to you know, just be there.

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.400
<v Speaker 1>So it should be fun balance.

0:00:39.640 --> 0:00:41.560
<v Speaker 2>You know, you've done such a great job with everything

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:43.920
<v Speaker 2>that's been thrust upon you, but it's a little bit

0:00:43.960 --> 0:00:46.279
<v Speaker 2>different when you're playing family and friends. You still want

0:00:46.320 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 2>to I would.

0:00:47.040 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Imagine, yeah, most definitely. But I mean I feel like

0:00:50.880 --> 0:00:53.160
<v Speaker 1>it's sort of been like that already. You know, every game,

0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:55.639
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's family and friends that either come

0:00:55.680 --> 0:00:59.200
<v Speaker 1>to games or are tuned in watching on TV and stuff. So, uh,

0:00:59.280 --> 0:00:59.960
<v Speaker 1>nothing changes.

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:00.280
<v Speaker 2>You know.

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Once we line up, it's eleven or eleven football, and

0:01:02.960 --> 0:01:06.120
<v Speaker 1>I gotta do my assignments and play for play quarterback,

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:07.480
<v Speaker 1>and and that's about it.

0:01:07.560 --> 0:01:10.600
<v Speaker 3>So our estimate of how many people you have the.

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 1>Game, I'm not really sure the whole number, but I'm

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 1>only doing tickets just for my family just because there's

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.160
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, you know, so but I know

0:01:19.160 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>that there's a lot of people that have bought tickets

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and they'll be their supporting So very thankful for that.

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:24.680
<v Speaker 2>Walk us through your.

0:01:24.520 --> 0:01:26.680
<v Speaker 4>Thought process on Christian's long run.

0:01:27.160 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 3>You're what you're looking for as you.

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 4>Spread down there.

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I saw him, you know, sort of just make

0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 1>his cut early on, and you know, I only saw

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>a couple of guys downfield and Ba running. So I

0:01:36.800 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>was all right, you know, I'm gonna just try to

0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 1>get down there, and if Christian ends up cutting back,

0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:42.560
<v Speaker 1>I want to hopefully be able to get in front

0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:44.640
<v Speaker 1>of a guy or make a block for him. And

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.560
<v Speaker 1>uh so Christian started pulling away and I was like,

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:48.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I'm gonna get there, and then

0:01:48.600 --> 0:01:50.560
<v Speaker 1>he made his cutback and I was like, dang it,

0:01:50.640 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>I should have done it. I should have just kept going.

0:01:53.280 --> 0:01:55.600
<v Speaker 1>So that was my mindset though I saw Ba, you know,

0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.960
<v Speaker 1>doing his thing block and for him, and if he

0:01:58.120 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>made any kind of cutback, I just wanted to be there.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 1>So you really want to sign the hardheads that you're saying, Yeah,

0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>one hundred percent, I want to be a part of

0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>that club.

0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.880
<v Speaker 3>Before the game, Jerry Rice came by and kind of

0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 3>adapted yet a little bit and had some words.

0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:13.080
<v Speaker 2>What can can you share what Jerry.

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Said to you?

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.800
<v Speaker 2>And how cool is that the greatest receiver of all

0:02:15.880 --> 0:02:17.840
<v Speaker 2>time touching base.

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:18.520
<v Speaker 5>With you before the game.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it was cool. You know. I sort of just

0:02:20.400 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>got a pat in the back and and I looked

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>over and it was Jerry, and you know, just tapped

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:27.520
<v Speaker 1>him up and he just said ball out today, you know,

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.640
<v Speaker 1>sort of just kept it simple and uh. But the

0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>fact that he did that and came over as I

0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:33.840
<v Speaker 1>was warming up, But that was pretty cool. You know.

0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>Obviously he's a he's a idle to many and a

0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.519
<v Speaker 1>legend here as a forty nine er. To be able

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:40.760
<v Speaker 1>to play them in the same organization as him is

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:42.320
<v Speaker 1>really special. So that was cool.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Joe or Steve.

0:02:46.040 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>When they've come to games, I've talked to him in

0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:49.640
<v Speaker 1>person a little bit, but not not in terms of

0:02:49.680 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, calling or anything. So yeah, I.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 4>Was talking yesterday about how a lot of times the

0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 4>communications with the players, he will FaceTime them or they'll

0:02:59.480 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 4>usually tech it's back with him. How do you usually

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 4>deal with Kyle and how has that relationship kind of

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 4>spawned over the last year and where you.

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>Guys are matched so well, now, yeah, I mean he'll

0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>just shoot me a text every once in a while

0:03:12.240 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>if he wants wants me to come in and meet.

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.160
<v Speaker 1>We like meeting, you know, more in person than anything.

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>And you know, after a game or something on my

0:03:18.840 --> 0:03:20.399
<v Speaker 1>drive home, he used to just shoot me a call

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>and go over some things how we're thinking our initial

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>thoughts and stuff. So he does a good job with

0:03:26.040 --> 0:03:28.040
<v Speaker 1>with just all the guys you know in general in

0:03:28.120 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>terms of keeping in touch and making sure everyone's good.

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But you know where we're at and how we can

0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.400
<v Speaker 1>be better, So he does a great job with that.

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, over the last year, definitely obviously has you know,

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>we've we've talked a lot more and stuff. We have

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>to be on the same page, you know, we're trying

0:03:41.360 --> 0:03:45.040
<v Speaker 1>to obviously accomplish the same goals and stuff. So it's

0:03:45.080 --> 0:03:46.600
<v Speaker 1>been cool, you know to sort of see our I

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:49.360
<v Speaker 1>guess relationship evolve over over the last year and stuff.

0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.160
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, we have a.

0:03:51.200 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 4>Question about the game plan in the middle of the

0:03:53.240 --> 0:03:55.800
<v Speaker 4>night that comes to your mind when you text Brian

0:03:55.880 --> 0:03:58.880
<v Speaker 4>Greasy instead or right to Kyle.

0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:01.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll probably wait till the morning. You know, I'm trying

0:04:01.360 --> 0:04:03.160
<v Speaker 1>to get my sleep, and I know they are too,

0:04:03.400 --> 0:04:05.920
<v Speaker 1>But if some ever did come to mind, they wouldn't

0:04:05.920 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 1>mind if I shot him attacks at all, So either

0:04:07.960 --> 0:04:09.240
<v Speaker 1>one of them would be ready to answer.

0:04:09.520 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>Well, the last time you were in the Cardinals stadium

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:14.560
<v Speaker 2>when you got your Gay Player of the Year award or.

0:04:14.880 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>Have you been there since I played in the festival

0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:21.440
<v Speaker 1>in twenty twenty against Oregon there in that stadium, yep,

0:04:21.800 --> 0:04:22.920
<v Speaker 1>that was the last time I was there.

0:04:23.920 --> 0:04:26.120
<v Speaker 3>In the game, you mentioned that Jamal Adams was flat,

0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 3>but it was something that you noticed.

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:30.760
<v Speaker 5>Do you remember when you, like in your quarterback career,

0:04:30.800 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 5>when you started noticing different tels and players and how

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 5>you did take advantage of that.

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean you could say film studying and all that

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.120
<v Speaker 1>kind of stuff, which is true to an extent for

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>me in that play, it wasn't necessarily just Jamal. It

0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:49.000
<v Speaker 1>was like whoever's playing that safety position? You know, with

0:04:49.320 --> 0:04:50.880
<v Speaker 1>our play call and where we were at in the

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>game when we had called that play, you know, the

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.200
<v Speaker 1>first thing was to identify what the safety structure looked like,

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:00.120
<v Speaker 1>and then Jamal happened to be playing safety there. I

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.800
<v Speaker 1>just just looking at him with a couple of steps

0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:04.279
<v Speaker 1>that I was taking in my drop, I saw that

0:05:04.320 --> 0:05:06.359
<v Speaker 1>he was flat footed and that kind of thing. But

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:08.200
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there are some things that you can see

0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>on film with guys and they show some tells and whatnot.

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>But you know, for me, at the end of the day,

0:05:13.600 --> 0:05:15.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff have to catch the ball, drop back and react

0:05:15.600 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and obviously anticipate things, which is great in which you

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>can learn from film study. But you know, for me

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>in the moments, being able to see the safety structure

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.280
<v Speaker 1>post snap, the rotation and things like that, and then

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.520
<v Speaker 1>react and hit guys that are open. So I like

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:32.839
<v Speaker 1>to sort of somewhat keep it simple. But you know

0:05:33.279 --> 0:05:35.279
<v Speaker 1>in that play that I watch film a million times

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>on Jamal Adams and say, I'm gonna get this to

0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>be honest now, So yeah, where.

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:44.120
<v Speaker 5>You're processing got slower or felt slower, so you can

0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.719
<v Speaker 5>feel like you can make or see more before you

0:05:46.720 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 5>actually throw them all.

0:05:48.880 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean a little bit, yeah, I mean, just playing

0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>within this offense and in this system with the guys

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>up front blocking and then trusting and the guys running

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>the concepts that we've run you know over games and

0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.520
<v Speaker 1>since camp and stuff. All that has helped me, and

0:06:01.760 --> 0:06:04.440
<v Speaker 1>it has sort of has helped me just process things,

0:06:04.440 --> 0:06:07.719
<v Speaker 1>help slow things down a little bit. But the game

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>is still fast and it's not like I've mastered it

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>at all. I feel like it'll always be a challenge

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:16.000
<v Speaker 1>every game, every snap, but you know, there, it sort

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>of has, you know, gotten I've gotten more familiar with

0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>what we're trying to do, so it has helped.

0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.159
<v Speaker 4>Can you consider yourself a game manager?

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, man, I don't want to comment on that.

0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:33.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, I'm, like I said, I'm playing quarterback, trying

0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>to win games, and we'll see at the end of

0:06:35.120 --> 0:06:35.480
<v Speaker 1>all of it.

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 3>So deep passes is the highest that I've found on record.

0:06:40.800 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 3>Is this the most comfortable you've been throwing the deep ball,

0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:45.760
<v Speaker 3>not just in your NFL career, but going back to

0:06:45.800 --> 0:06:47.280
<v Speaker 3>college in high school?

0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.880
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd say so. I forgot who I was talking

0:06:51.920 --> 0:06:55.400
<v Speaker 1>to earlier this week, just in terms of I feel

0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>like I've always been efficient with the quick game, the

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 1>intermediate game, all that kind of stuff, but when it

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>comes to pushing the ball down field, sort of just

0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:04.360
<v Speaker 1>understanding what we're trying to do as an offense. And

0:07:04.400 --> 0:07:07.520
<v Speaker 1>once we get those kinds of opportunities being aggressive and

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:11.000
<v Speaker 1>letting it rip. And I feel like right now, probably,

0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, out of all the years I've been playing football,

0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.000
<v Speaker 1>this has probably been the best in terms of, you know,

0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:17.760
<v Speaker 1>pushing the ball downfield and being efficient in that area,

0:07:17.920 --> 0:07:19.880
<v Speaker 1>not just throwing it up in hopes for someone to

0:07:19.880 --> 0:07:22.360
<v Speaker 1>grab it, but being efficient when I take my shots.

0:07:22.360 --> 0:07:25.600
<v Speaker 1>And and I feel like it is probably probably the

0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:27.160
<v Speaker 1>best that I've been throwing the d ball right now.

0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:29.800
<v Speaker 3>Just looking back at the course of this season. I

0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:32.200
<v Speaker 3>remember Week two against the Rams, you missed a couple.

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 3>Since then, it's gotten better and better. Was there some

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 3>kind of just physical knocking off of the rust that

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 3>that's happened over the course of this year as it

0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 3>relates specifically.

0:07:40.640 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>To beat passes. I mean maybe, you know, obviously I

0:07:44.280 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>was hard on myself after that Rams game, you know,

0:07:46.120 --> 0:07:49.680
<v Speaker 1>missing those couple deep shots, and then just being real

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:51.920
<v Speaker 1>with myself, you know, I practice and stuff and working

0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>on just mechanics and little things and timing with the

0:07:55.720 --> 0:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>receivers and being on the same page with them. And

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:01.080
<v Speaker 1>I think all those little things have helped and they've

0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:04.080
<v Speaker 1>paid off. But I feel like there's still some areas

0:08:04.080 --> 0:08:06.480
<v Speaker 1>where I can get better at with it, and and

0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>that's that. But yeah, I feel good with where I'm

0:08:09.080 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>at right now.

0:08:11.400 --> 0:08:14.400
<v Speaker 2>Left hnded dropbacks design and.

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.320
<v Speaker 5>How do you feel? Do you feel comfortable with the

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:18.679
<v Speaker 5>dropping back as the left you flipping your hips?

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:20.520
<v Speaker 2>The feelings?

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:21.960
<v Speaker 4>What would be the purpose of that?

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's just another way, you know, for us to

0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:26.960
<v Speaker 1>move the pocket sort of just get some movement within

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, our our system, our play calls. In a sense,

0:08:31.040 --> 0:08:34.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a it's another way of play action, but you know,

0:08:34.160 --> 0:08:35.880
<v Speaker 1>to be able to roll left and flip our hips

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.600
<v Speaker 1>and and and still get the ball where it needs

0:08:38.640 --> 0:08:41.560
<v Speaker 1>to wherever at on the field. Some we've been working

0:08:41.559 --> 0:08:43.360
<v Speaker 1>on since Camp. I feel like it's somewhat of a

0:08:44.000 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 1>just a new thing teams are doing nowadays, you know,

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.560
<v Speaker 1>in the shotgun rolling left a little bit and then

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:49.680
<v Speaker 1>flipping the hips and and then being able to deliver.

0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:53.880
<v Speaker 1>I've never done anything like that, you know, growing up

0:08:54.000 --> 0:08:57.000
<v Speaker 1>or college or high school or anything. So but after

0:08:57.320 --> 0:08:59.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, last year of installing those kinds of play

0:09:00.120 --> 0:09:03.160
<v Speaker 1>is I feel I like it a lot. I like

0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:08.440
<v Speaker 1>how we do it, So yeah, I'm down for it.

0:09:07.600 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 5>Was said that when he was a coordinator he's He's

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 5>had a couple of quarterbacks where go over a chunk

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.200
<v Speaker 5>of ten plays and eight of them were right and

0:09:16.280 --> 0:09:18.640
<v Speaker 5>two of them were wrong, and he would spend all

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:20.520
<v Speaker 5>of his time going over the two that were wrong.

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.839
<v Speaker 5>In the quarter I could go, hey, what about these

0:09:22.840 --> 0:09:25.800
<v Speaker 5>other eight and help them. He did those right, Let's

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.000
<v Speaker 5>just fix the ones that are wrong. Do you do

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:30.120
<v Speaker 5>you that kind of teaching resonate with you.

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, one hundred percent. I feel like we need it,

0:09:33.360 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I love I love that kind of coaching. Honestly.

0:09:35.720 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, at the end of the day, you have

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>a standard for yourself. For yourself, you want to be

0:09:40.920 --> 0:09:44.440
<v Speaker 1>consistent as best as possible as a quarterback in the NFL,

0:09:44.480 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Like there's a little room, you know, to mess up.

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:49.319
<v Speaker 1>And so I think if you're in the NFL and

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback, you gotta be somewhat of a perfectionist. You

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.480
<v Speaker 1>want those two plays back, You want to learn from

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.200
<v Speaker 1>them and grow from them. If they're just telling you

0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.320
<v Speaker 1>how great you are and stuff, you know, there's gonna

0:09:58.360 --> 0:10:00.800
<v Speaker 1>be a time throughout the season at some point where

0:10:00.840 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>you probably get exposed with maybe those little those little

0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>things like that. So Kyle does a great job obviously

0:10:06.040 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>all the all of the years of coaching and experience

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>that he has of pointing those things out and harping

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:14.400
<v Speaker 1>on him, not just to you know, down, down, you

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.400
<v Speaker 1>out or anything, but to be real and help you.

0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:18.960
<v Speaker 1>And we're all trying to win, and that's what it takes.

0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 1>And so he does a good job with that.

0:10:20.559 --> 0:10:28.760
<v Speaker 2>Your elbow in the community did all the exercises you did,

0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 2>it may actually be stronger if you wanted to continue

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 2>to do this exercises because of that. Was that discussed

0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 2>like pre surgery, like this could happen, like your elbow

0:10:39.080 --> 0:10:41.560
<v Speaker 2>could be stronger, or was that even not just a topic?

0:10:41.679 --> 0:10:43.640
<v Speaker 2>Was it just like let's get it back to our lives?

0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>A little bit of both. I think the main emphasis

0:10:47.720 --> 0:10:49.960
<v Speaker 1>was let's get back to normal first, you know, let's

0:10:49.960 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>get cleared, let's get healthy, let's compete again, let's you know,

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 1>and then if everything goes as well, like obviously, stick

0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.920
<v Speaker 1>to the plan of of whatever I was doing for

0:11:00.080 --> 0:11:03.280
<v Speaker 1>my arm to get it stronger. And I feel like,

0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>regardless of getting hurt or not, like that's something that

0:11:05.440 --> 0:11:07.280
<v Speaker 1>as a professional athlete, you always want to find the

0:11:07.280 --> 0:11:09.839
<v Speaker 1>little things to help you get better. And I mean

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.760
<v Speaker 1>if we're being real, like my rookie year coming out

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.360
<v Speaker 1>of college, I feel like there's so many areas I

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>could have got better, like physically, you know, as a thrower.

0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:19.640
<v Speaker 1>And so this whole last year I've still been, you know,

0:11:19.679 --> 0:11:22.160
<v Speaker 1>trying to mold into the quarterback that I want to be,

0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the thrower I want to be, and obviously I want

0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:27.520
<v Speaker 1>to continue to do the things that I've learned throughout

0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>rehabbing stuff to to you know, become who I want

0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:34.840
<v Speaker 1>to be. So but I think at the time it

0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:36.679
<v Speaker 1>was more about getting healthy and getting back for Game

0:11:36.720 --> 0:11:45.559
<v Speaker 1>one more than anything. Moments, I want to say, somewhat

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.400
<v Speaker 1>after the season, you know, I was figuring out, you know, surgery,

0:11:49.480 --> 0:11:51.040
<v Speaker 1>who I was going to go to in terms of

0:11:51.320 --> 0:11:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a surgeon, and and sort of just what the whole

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 1>process looked like. And it's not that I was freaking

0:11:57.520 --> 0:11:58.880
<v Speaker 1>out or anything, but I just wanted to talk to

0:11:58.920 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a guy who had been through it. And so a

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>bunch of the guys here had recommended Nick. They said

0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:06.200
<v Speaker 1>he's a great guy. So I shot him a text

0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and then he called me right away, and he was awesome,

0:12:08.480 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>just told me what he went through, what he felt,

0:12:11.559 --> 0:12:13.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, right after how long it sort of took

0:12:13.760 --> 0:12:17.120
<v Speaker 1>until he got back to normal and sort of what

0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to expect. So he was awesome and I always remember

0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.679
<v Speaker 1>that conversation, and honestly, if the things that I've been

0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 1>through so far have been to a t of what

0:12:24.240 --> 0:12:27.959
<v Speaker 1>he said, so it's great advice from him. Thanks guys,
