1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:06,120 Speaker 1: How's everyone doing? Are good? Thank you? Kind of you've 2 00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: had guys going out here. How do you feel where's 3 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: the offense right now? Are atting to the level you 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:16,120 Speaker 1: want to? Well, we're doing a lot of things. Well, um, 5 00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: I think um, as I said after both games, you know, 6 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,720 Speaker 1: there's always going to be stuff to build on, especially 7 00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,799 Speaker 1: in the preseason. I think you're going to see, um, 8 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: you know a little bit of clunkiness. Um, you know, 9 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,319 Speaker 1: because we're we're moving from game plan again, you know, 10 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 1: practicing against our defense every day, short game plans, that 11 00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,560 Speaker 1: type of stuff, and so um. But that being said, 12 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,159 Speaker 1: you know, I felt like the other night, having watched it, 13 00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:41,760 Speaker 1: you know they did a night Arizona did a nice 14 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,120 Speaker 1: job creating a lot of pressure. Um and uh, and 15 00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,640 Speaker 1: you know, we really just missed on a couple that 16 00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,240 Speaker 1: were that could have been you know, huge plays and 17 00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 1: and you know, giving us a couple you know, potentially 18 00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,280 Speaker 1: touchdowns and big plays um down in the red zone 19 00:00:56,280 --> 00:01:00,720 Speaker 1: and that sort of thing. So if you want back, 20 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,640 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, no, not nothing in specific, but 21 00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 1: again there's just like I think we hit I think 22 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: we were forty three percent on third down or something 23 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:12,200 Speaker 1: like that. And you know, we we went back and 24 00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,200 Speaker 1: watched all the third downs strung together, and you know, 25 00:01:15,319 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: we just see, like you know, which is why football 26 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 1: is so great, right, all eleven guys have to be 27 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 1: on the same page, and so it's like one guy here, 28 00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: one guy there. You know, maybe my ball, my throw 29 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 Speaker 1: is not perfect, or you know, we just miss here 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,080 Speaker 1: and there, and so we're really close to we were 31 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:29,920 Speaker 1: really close to converting third downs at the high rate, 32 00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: which you know translates directly to success. I think, um, well, 33 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,039 Speaker 1: similar to the offense. You know, there's there's some things 34 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: I feel good about, and there's a lot of things 35 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 1: that I feel like I need to continue to build 36 00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: on it. Um. You know, I feel like, again we've 37 00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: we've we've done a nice job moving the ball. We've 38 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: just got to do a better job, you know. And 39 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,560 Speaker 1: as a quarterback, I gotta you know, I gotta get 40 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: us end of the end zone. We gotta you know, 41 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,920 Speaker 1: we gotta finish drives, UM and so UM. But again, yeah, 42 00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:00,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I felt like we 43 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 1: can build on, um, both personally and as an offense. 44 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:15,639 Speaker 1: Practices that injury definitely comfort level UM. You know, certainly 45 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: UM within the offense and with the guys that I've 46 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:22,040 Speaker 1: been getting reps with. Um, I feel I feel real 47 00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,360 Speaker 1: comfortable with being in the huddle. Um it's not you know, 48 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: it doesn't it doesn't feel foreign to me like maybe 49 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: it did last year when I got when I jumped 50 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 1: in there, or you know, even in OTAs where I 51 00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 1: was still getting to know some of the guys. UM. 52 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: So I think that's the that's the biggest thing, is 53 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: you know, and that breeds the ability to communicate and 54 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: be on the same page and then then in turn, 55 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: you know, breeds success. So I think that's that's the 56 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: biggest thing. That's not for me to decide. You know, 57 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: I'm going to go back to my same answer, which 58 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: end you know you're probably bored of. But I'm here 59 00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 1: to I'm here to get better every day and I think, 60 00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,120 Speaker 1: you know, again, that's something that served me well in 61 00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 1: the past, and I'm going to continue working on it 62 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,280 Speaker 1: every day. It is just to be the best quarterback 63 00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: I can be for this team. And you know that 64 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 1: parts out of my contr role. So I'm gonna let 65 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 1: I'm gonna let uh, you know, do my job and 66 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,400 Speaker 1: let those chips fall where they may. I got to 67 00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 1: talk about you specifically that you did tell them about 68 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: like the practice before leaving off, and got a little 69 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:17,400 Speaker 1: bit spot me in some places where typical I mean 70 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: I would say, I would say just general operation. Um, 71 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, there was a cup, there was And again, 72 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: I think some of this happens as you start doing 73 00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:27,080 Speaker 1: show team and carded periods and that sort of stuff. 74 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,120 Speaker 1: But we've got to be on the same page and 75 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,720 Speaker 1: you know, in and out and understanding practice tempo whenever 76 00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:34,160 Speaker 1: you're giving a look or or you know or getting 77 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 1: a look. I think those are you know, probably the 78 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: two things um for me that stick out is just 79 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: our general operation and in those types of periods. But 80 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: I don't mean this would be funny at all. Say 81 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: this is more first team reps you're saying in the 82 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,560 Speaker 1: last three or four weeks than your other NFL stops 83 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: like combined. Maybe yeah, probably so. And I mean you 84 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: talk about it as well. I guess how much do 85 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 1: you notice that or is there any sort of like 86 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 1: surreal aspect it would have just realizing like the ride 87 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:06,560 Speaker 1: you can say when you have that much answer to 88 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: take a person. Um, you know, I think I feel again, 89 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 1: I feel great about where we're at an offense. I 90 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 1: feel great about I feel good about my development personally. 91 00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: I think again, i'm i'm i'm, I am getting more 92 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 1: of these reps and I think that's given me a 93 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: chance to um get in there and get comfortable with 94 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: the guys. And I think that really helps, um in 95 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: terms of your ability to operate the offense. And so 96 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 1: that that's that's all I can say about that is 97 00:04:30,040 --> 00:04:32,520 Speaker 1: I really I do feel better about my comfort level. 98 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,159 Speaker 1: And I think that sort of um, you know, like 99 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,279 Speaker 1: I said, that sort of breed success and it it 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:41,880 Speaker 1: I think it helps everyone on the offense having to 101 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: tell you how to help you. Yeah. There are a 102 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:53,320 Speaker 1: lot of fun to throw too, that's for sure. Oh absolutely, yeah. 103 00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:57,360 Speaker 1: I mean I feel, you know, those guys are unbelievable. Um, 104 00:04:57,440 --> 00:04:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, we we've we've got a great receiving corps 105 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 1: even you know, even even beyond those three guys. And 106 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 1: so I feel great about um uh you know, the 107 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 1: ability to get them our our ability to get them 108 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: the ball. But certainly, yes, I feel I feel there's 109 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,160 Speaker 1: a comfort level there as far as just having thrown 110 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: to them more over the past few weeks, but during 111 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: this period where he hasn't been able to throw in 112 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: those team periods. Uh. Well, I think that's where he 113 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: shines through as a teammate, you know. I mean he's 114 00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,160 Speaker 1: we're kind of talking in between every series, every set 115 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 1: out there, Um, whoever's in there at quarterback, you know, 116 00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 1: he's he's he's locked in as if he's in there 117 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 1: taking his mental reps, you know, as he should be. 118 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,520 Speaker 1: But and then afterwards you can kind of see the 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,480 Speaker 1: fire still in him where you know, when you come 120 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: back to the hudder, when you come back to stand 121 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,480 Speaker 1: behind and watch someone else go, he's got little pointers 122 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: here and there or you know, just little conversation, uh, 123 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: just little little bits of whether it be advice or 124 00:05:57,920 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: or asking what you see there. I mean, I think 125 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: that's I think that's the biggest thing is just you know, 126 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 1: it's his his ability to have stayed locked in during 127 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:15,599 Speaker 1: this whole thing, Um has been great. The context has 128 00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 1: that been on your mind a little bit that it's 129 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 1: really this is kind of my chance to get my 130 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: feet onto me a little bit more wherever didn't have 131 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: really lost. I mean it's certainly you know, I go 132 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: back to the spring for all that. I mean, you 133 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: know now that we're into training camp and I feel 134 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:33,120 Speaker 1: I do feel good about where I'm at as the 135 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760 Speaker 1: offense or within the offense. UM. I sort of go 136 00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: back to the spring. I think that was the biggest 137 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 1: time for me. You know, some of it was virtual, yes, 138 00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 1: but to be able to get the foundation of this 139 00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: offense UM instead of just the game plan aspect of 140 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: it on a weekly basis has been UH was was 141 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: really what was the I think the biggest thing for 142 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,960 Speaker 1: me and UM And now again, as I mentioned just 143 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: a second ago, getting into the huddle with those guys, 144 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,240 Speaker 1: getting into the huddle with UH, with with you know, 145 00:07:00,240 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: with the offense, and feeling comfortable in the ability to 146 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 1: communicate better. I think that's those are those are where 147 00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: you see the UH the improvements I mean physical here, Yeah, 148 00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,760 Speaker 1: I mean he's all over the place he's been. UM. 149 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,720 Speaker 1: He's been able to pick things up from a defensive 150 00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: scheme standpoint very quickly, and it's been impressive to watch 151 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,080 Speaker 1: him in practice. You certainly always have to account for 152 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,679 Speaker 1: where he's at, UM, especially when he drops into coverage 153 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: because it can cover so much ground. He looks pretty 154 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:48,400 Speaker 1: fast from where I'm standing too. Yeah, health developstry well, 155 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,400 Speaker 1: I mentioned it after or after the game. But he 156 00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: and I just have to do a better job getting 157 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: snaps together. Um. I mean, you know, I know you 158 00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: mentioned the word versatility, and that's certainly that's certainly Connor. 159 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: He's just you know, we just have to get comfortable 160 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 1: getting getting snaps and with someone in front of you, 161 00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,360 Speaker 1: with you know, in live action and so um, we've 162 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,760 Speaker 1: you know, we've been working on that and we will 163 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: continue to do so. Part of the practice, do you guys, Yeah, 164 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: just getting a few snaps afterwards, and you know, just 165 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: whether it be with with someone in front of him 166 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,240 Speaker 1: or you know, working a working a run track or 167 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: or you know, or past steps so that he feels, 168 00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: you know, so that so that we both feel comfortable 169 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: taking those snaps. U Um. From both Gunn and under Center, 170 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: you're talking about how Dak and Tom Brady has some 171 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: similarious how they get everybody in the room together. How 172 00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:43,320 Speaker 1: do they do that? How do they get everybody and 173 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: its work it's kind of separated in a lot of 174 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:49,600 Speaker 1: ways together. I Mean it's tough, that's tough to put 175 00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: your finger on it. It's it's a it's a it's 176 00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:53,840 Speaker 1: just a great leadership quality. I don't know that I 177 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: can describe it anymore any more than that Michael fucking 178 00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 1: earlier about we're back getting more reps with the number one. 179 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: It is just about the consistency of it the decision 180 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 1: maybe or the execution that you when you build off, um, 181 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,319 Speaker 1: a little bit of both. Um, you know, I think, UM, 182 00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,160 Speaker 1: I would say probably mostly the execution because I mean 183 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,360 Speaker 1: we go through the decision making process in the quarterback 184 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: room all the time, but you know, to be able 185 00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:26,280 Speaker 1: to go out, go out and do that and execute 186 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: it at uh, you know, with the ones against the ones, 187 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: I mean those types of things. Um, you know, that's 188 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: where that's where I've grown more comfortable. I mean, we're 189 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: we're you know it. It's it's sort of a ramp up, um. 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,400 Speaker 1: So we're you know, we've we've gained planned a little 191 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: more each week and a little more each week. So UM, 192 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: you know, we're we're sort of trying to um, you know, 193 00:09:52,440 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: get things close to how you know, what what you'd 194 00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: see in the regular season as far at least as 195 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: far as the routine is concerned. The red zone kind 196 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: of the last thing you get to here in the preseason, 197 00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: and does that lay in some of the issues that 198 00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,600 Speaker 1: you go have that you're not game planning specifically, like 199 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: you wouldn't a regular season Uh, I wouldn't say that. 200 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 1: I would just say, you know, as an offense, we 201 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:12,840 Speaker 1: got to execute better when we get down there. You know, 202 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: I go back, going back to the first game. I 203 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,880 Speaker 1: can't take you know, can't take sacks down there in 204 00:10:16,920 --> 00:10:19,199 Speaker 1: the red zone. Put us in second long and then 205 00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: um and then uh, and then we just didn't execute 206 00:10:22,280 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: on our on our other drive down there in the 207 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: red zone. So do a little bit more and more. 208 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: What he looks great. Um, it's you know, it's great 209 00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: to have him back out there. And UM, you know, 210 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:37,439 Speaker 1: he's he's he looks fast, and he looks good. What 211 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: cerebal nature. Um, I think that's a good word for it. 212 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: I mean he's you know, he's definitely, UM, a little 213 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 1: bit of a quieter guy. UM, but he's he's, he's 214 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,880 Speaker 1: he's great as far as communicating with him on the 215 00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,240 Speaker 1: field about things. So he came, you know, he understands 216 00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: all that he's he's got, you know, great I Q 217 00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 1: and um. Yeah, and and so I feel I feel real, 218 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:03,960 Speaker 1: you know, real good about talking to him on the 219 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: field about what we saw and what he saw from 220 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: a from a coverage standpoint. I can go back to 221 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: the rainy Well one more time when we diverse weet. 222 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,839 Speaker 1: Was it like, Hi'm Tom, You're like, yeah, don't get 223 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 1: any uh um. I yeah, I think that's probably what 224 00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: it was. I was sitting in the meeting room trying 225 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,520 Speaker 1: to learn the offense and and he walked um. So yeah, 226 00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:25,160 Speaker 1: it was probably just as simple as that. I mean, 227 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,640 Speaker 1: you know it was it was week sixteen of the season, 228 00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,800 Speaker 1: so they were right in the middle of of the 229 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:32,560 Speaker 1: grind there, so it wasn't much time for pleasantries.
