So proudly got to win. 38 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 4: Drake. 39 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 5: I know you said it's not your best game, clearly. 40 00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 5: But one thing in the second half, we all noticed 41 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 5: after the interception and you were on the sideline, it 42 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 5: looked like Mike Varibel came right up to you had 43 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:42,560 Speaker 5: some encouraging words for you. How important is that for 44 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:45,000 Speaker 5: you as a young player, And if you might share 45 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 5: it a little bit about what he said. 46 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, you know he's great at coming, you know, coming 47 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 1: up to me after you're really every drive, you know, 48 00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: he comes over and says something to me, You'll always positive, 49 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,840 Speaker 1: always want me to rally the guys around me, always 50 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: uh you know, challenging me to battle university and get 51 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: the guys going. And I think I appreciate the way 52 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: coaches me. You know, he's he's uh, he's hard on me, 53 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 1: but he's uh, you know, very positive, and I think he, uh, 54 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:10,639 Speaker 1: he wants the best out of me. And you know, 55 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,959 Speaker 1: everything that he uh he says to me, I think 56 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:18,000 Speaker 1: it's it's going to be important and become true. 57 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 6: Drake, you said you got to play better. What about 58 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:21,639 Speaker 6: your game? 59 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 4: Did you not like today that you want to? 60 00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, twenty one and seven really 61 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: got a chance to you know, get some more points 62 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,480 Speaker 1: in the halftime and uh, you know, you know a 63 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: free rush. I got him first thing I do. I 64 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: just told a quarterback coach, gotta you know, get rip 65 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,000 Speaker 1: talk the ball of the chest, and you'll get in 66 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: a bad habit of trying to you know, break tackles 67 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:43,000 Speaker 1: on these guys that I don't have a great chance 68 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 1: of breaking and tackle on. And then uh, like I said, 69 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 1: ball in the fifty around midfield and I'm not sure 70 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,359 Speaker 1: we'll just I think we're up, uh yeah, twenty four 71 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 1: to fourteen. Yeah, and uh, you know, one of the 72 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 1: same page of the Hunt. And I think, like I said, 73 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,959 Speaker 1: gave the ball back to them at midfield and I'll 74 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: just change the game. So it really the turnovers and 75 00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: other than that, I think just just trying to stay 76 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: more positive. I think once we got you, we're good 77 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 1: on the first and second down, and I think we're 78 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,440 Speaker 1: good on third down today. But try to stay in 79 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: third and manageable and just keep making plays and batten 80 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:15,919 Speaker 1: from a versus. 81 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 4: This league is so Drake. You had that run in 82 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 4: the first half. I think we got pretty hit, pretty 83 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,320 Speaker 4: hard and pretty high. U was that just you? Damn it? 84 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 4: I'm just gonna go full speed ahead or you just 85 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,120 Speaker 4: didn't have room to slide? Can you take me through that? 86 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,919 Speaker 1: Yeah? Try to cut back. Like I said, cutting back 87 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: is probably not in my repertoire. I need to get down. 88 00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 1: And you know, Pop cut back and made it look 89 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 1: a lot better than me on the big the long 90 00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 1: the Long catch show. Yeah, just get down. Just revert 91 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 1: back to my natural instincts in the open field. But 92 00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,800 Speaker 1: ye need to get down. 93 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 6: In the middle, Drake, you guys had a lot of 94 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 6: success hitting them with those crossing routes throughout the entire game. 95 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 6: What did you guys see during the week that led 96 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 6: you to believe against that second can Darry that you 97 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 6: can hit those big plays down the field. 98 00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,040 Speaker 1: I think, you know, they they play some match coverage. 99 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: You know, they're challenge us to you know, you know, 100 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: beat some man routes, beat some man coverage. And I 101 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 1: missed some more crossing routes that I wish I could 102 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,480 Speaker 1: have could have back. But uh, I think, uh, you know, 103 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 1: credit our guys. We challenged them all week, you know 104 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 1: in the receiver room and tight end room to you'll 105 00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: win against match and you'll see the see the and 106 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 1: be physical at the at the top of the route, 107 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,280 Speaker 1: and those guys, you know, make some big plays. 108 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,279 Speaker 6: To day, Drew getsie of the turnover. 109 00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 4: What did the Falcons do to give you guys trouble 110 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:31,359 Speaker 4: in the second half? 111 00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, second half. You know, first half I thought we 112 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: were we were rolling that that first drive out of halftime, 113 00:04:36,839 --> 00:04:39,640 Speaker 1: that was big. You know, they they the hell's in 114 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: the red zone, but it was a big drive. I 115 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:42,960 Speaker 1: think we took up almost you know, nine minutes or 116 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,920 Speaker 1: eight minutes. The second half I think is the stuff 117 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,440 Speaker 1: that we can control. I think once we handle adversity, 118 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: or once we face adversity on the sideline, I think 119 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: we can do a better job of handling it and 120 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: uh moving on. But like I said, our defense stepped 121 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 1: up big for us, and uh that big. That last 122 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: five minute was was cool to you know, the ups 123 00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 1: and downs of the games to finish on that. 124 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,240 Speaker 2: Drake Mike talked about some of the joy and appreciation 125 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 2: that comes along with winning in this league. Do you 126 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 2: you feel that right now or is there kind of 127 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 2: a frustration about the miscues, like how do you how 128 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: do you come out of this one? 129 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 5: Mentally? 130 00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, shoots so far in my career, you know, I 131 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: think just just trying to enjoy these wins.
