Speaker 1: Well, I know you asked about Earl Thomas and his range.
Speaker 1: What do you see from Eric's It's similar. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: very similar. You know, he's all over the field pretty snap.
Speaker 1: He's showing your different looks. He's running all over. Um,
Speaker 1: it's pretty impressive. You know, he plays the game the
Speaker 1: right way. UM, and he's all over. So he's a
Speaker 1: guy you got to to keep your eye out for
Speaker 1: you again, kind of the same thing I echoed after
Speaker 1: the game. You know, I thought as a team, I
Speaker 1: thought we played okay, but we lost. You know, at
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we lost, and um, that's
Speaker 1: all that we really were focused on, say with each game,
Speaker 1: I mean, especially in the poet for sure. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: feel like I've gotten comfortable, Um, you know, whether the
Speaker 1: performance in the execution is there or not. I feel like,
Speaker 1: just as the season's gone, um, every week, I'm feeling
Speaker 1: more and more comfortable. Um, both physically and mentally started.
Speaker 1: I don't think you probably yourself in the vision passing
Speaker 1: as much as you have now. Certain things dictate that.
Speaker 1: But if you've been surprised at all about just how
Speaker 1: much you've been asked to throw the ball in your
Speaker 1: rookie season, especially the last four of seven games. UM,
Speaker 1: I guess the biggest thing is just the games have
Speaker 1: dictated that. You know. It's one of those things you
Speaker 1: you go into a game with a game plan. You know,
Speaker 1: we want to be balanced every game, but um, sometimes
Speaker 1: you get down. Sometimes it's it's what they're giving you.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's hard to say that that I
Speaker 1: expected to throw this much, but it's kind of just
Speaker 1: the way games have gone. So by no means am
Speaker 1: I complaining about it or anything. Um. You know, I
Speaker 1: feel I feel like I've developed for sure. Um, But
Speaker 1: it's hard to say one way or the other on
Speaker 1: that of steps four where the game started to slow
Speaker 1: down as a game started to slow down for you
Speaker 1: yet yeah, you know, I think you know it goes
Speaker 1: with me being comfortable mentally and physically that I was
Speaker 1: mentioned earlier. Um, every game, you know, I feel like
Speaker 1: it's slowing down. Mentally it's coming um. And so again,
Speaker 1: whether whether the execution the performance is there or not. Um,
Speaker 1: I've felt that I've gotten better mentally and more comfortable
Speaker 1: every week. Quarterback. I guess like, yeah, for one, you
Speaker 1: can't let it affect you. And two, you know we've
Speaker 1: had great guys step up, you know obviously, Um, last
Speaker 1: week we had guys shuffle all around. But I thought
Speaker 1: they did a great job. You know, I thought they
Speaker 1: did a great job. They all kind of stepped up
Speaker 1: and owned their role. Um. But it's tough, you know,
Speaker 1: it's tough when you don't get that those opportunities during
Speaker 1: the week, UM, to to be together and work with
Speaker 1: right tackle, working with the right guard and those those
Speaker 1: sorts of things. But um, again I thought they did
Speaker 1: a great job. I final played was there running communication
Speaker 1: that huddled top and let you know that he was hurt. No, No,
Speaker 1: it was just kind of an unfortunate thing. And um,
Speaker 1: when you're in the heat, the heat of the moment
Speaker 1: like that, with whatever was twenty seconds left or something, Um,
Speaker 1: you just kind of roll with it and that it's
Speaker 1: unfortunate for him, but just lay way it happened. You
Speaker 1: guys are quarterbacks right away, similar styles. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: I followed him, you know for a while ever since
Speaker 1: he um came out and everything, much like I followed
Speaker 1: a lot of other quarterbacks. A lot of respect for
Speaker 1: him and what he did, especially early in his career,
Speaker 1: UM and what he's continued to do this kind of
Speaker 1: makes it. How tough is that for you as a
Speaker 1: quarterback in the story? Block that out? Just focus on
Speaker 1: about happy to worry about it. Amount of pressure, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean it's a part of it, but again you
Speaker 1: got to block it out because there's so many other pieces, Um,
Speaker 1: so many other things happening on each given play. And um,
Speaker 1: they make it easy as well. You know, I trust
Speaker 1: those guys. They do a great job. So um, when
Speaker 1: when you can trust those guys and you know that
Speaker 1: they're gonna get their job done, um, and they're gonna
Speaker 1: give it, give it their all for you to protect
Speaker 1: you and everything. Um, there's no there's really no stress involved, responi,
Speaker 1: I don't think so. Not really about the same thing.
Speaker 1: What do you miss most those nine games without Lane
Speaker 1: Johnson season? Is there something he did? Um? It's hard
Speaker 1: to say. Obviously, Lane's a great player. You know, I
Speaker 1: think everyone knows that. Ever since he's coming to the league,
Speaker 1: he's been a great player. Um, and you know we've
Speaker 1: we've we've missed him right away. But um, I thought
Speaker 1: guys have stepped up, you know, I thought guys have
Speaker 1: done a great job. But um, when when he comes back,
Speaker 1: we'll be excited to get him back as well. Good good,
Speaker 1: and I'm very fortunate for that for sure. As to Darren,
Speaker 1: look like you autibuled out or whatever. You guys were
Speaker 1: gonna run. What did you see? What I mean that
Speaker 1: that kind of prompted all that. Yeah, it was it
Speaker 1: was a quick shift, um. We it was a design shift,
Speaker 1: um to kind of get them kind of off off balance.
Speaker 1: They were obviously misaligned. Um. Their cornerback tried to make
Speaker 1: a play because they were misaligned, and we capitalized on it.
Speaker 1: About the pre snap penalties, why has that been such
Speaker 1: an issue? UM, It's probably a combination of things. UM.
Speaker 1: You know, obviously first and foremost lack of communication, lack
Speaker 1: of focus, UM, lack of discipline. You know, there's there's things. UM,
Speaker 1: in the heat of the battle, some things just go
Speaker 1: that way, and UM it's unfortunately things we got to
Speaker 1: just continue to keep cleaning up false starts. Does it
Speaker 1: sometimes take alignment a while to get used to the
Speaker 1: rhythm of a new vacadence, rhythm of a new quarterback? UM,
Speaker 1: I guess it's probably be a question for them. I
Speaker 1: don't think it's a it's a big thing, but um,
Speaker 1: again that's probably a question for those guys. You know,
Speaker 1: he would like to come back and get another opportunity
Speaker 1: to protect your blind side him. I'm wondering what your
Speaker 1: relationship like has been with him and him as a vetter.
Speaker 1: He's been great. You know, he's been a great leader
Speaker 1: for this team, especially this offense. UM. Having a guy
Speaker 1: like that in the huddle right next to me, UM,
Speaker 1: gives me a lot of confidence because I know he's
Speaker 1: gonna get his job done and I know he's gonna
Speaker 1: get the other guys going as well. UM. So both
Speaker 1: on and off the field, I have just an awesome
Speaker 1: relationship with that guy. And UM, he's been right for us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's been huge, you know, especially a couple of weeks
Speaker 1: ago when Jordan went down, and UM, just the versatility
Speaker 1: that Trey brings, you know, in the passing game, UM,
Speaker 1: in the blocking game. Obviously he's out there on every
Speaker 1: special teams. UM. The guy's just a good football player. UM.
Speaker 1: And both on and off the field, you know, we
Speaker 1: got a great, great relationship, great chemistry. So that's so
Speaker 1: that's big for for this team. Startable, the chemistry, content ability,
Speaker 1: how how much Yeah, you know, you're always trying to
Speaker 1: build that. You know, you're always trying to build that,
Speaker 1: and UM, that's something we're gonna the last three weeks there,
Speaker 1: we're going to really try and hammer on um. But
Speaker 1: but you're trying to build that camaraderie, that chemistry with
Speaker 1: with every guy you know, and um, the situation that
Speaker 1: we were in early in the year with with me
Speaker 1: kind of just missing some of those reps in preseason,
Speaker 1: everything it was, I thought chemistry was was still good,
Speaker 1: but and then urs went down for a few weeks,
Speaker 1: so that was just guy that whether it was the
Speaker 1: play calling, just dictating things, or just what they were
Speaker 1: giving us. On the relationship that him and I had,
Speaker 1: you know, it was never not there, but it's obviously
Speaker 1: developed and progressed to the point where it's at today,
Speaker 1: which is a really good, really good one over this
Speaker 1: tough stretch here that you can apply going forward into
Speaker 1: next year and the rest of your NFL prog. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is you realize every snap
Speaker 1: is crucial, you know, because every every one of these losses,
Speaker 1: you can go back and pinpoint one, two, three plays.
Speaker 1: That's just like, man, but that little detail, you know,
Speaker 1: that little thing if I was just locked it in
Speaker 1: that much more. If we would have just done just
Speaker 1: tweaked this one little detail that we could have done,
Speaker 1: that outcome would be different, you know. And I think
Speaker 1: you realize how hard it is to win in this
Speaker 1: league and to be consistent with that, So you really
Speaker 1: just got to focus learn to focus in on every
Speaker 1: play and um, you know, forget about the previous play, um,
Speaker 1: and just take them all one play at a time.
Speaker 1: And I think that's a big thing for for us
Speaker 1: all to learn. Thanks. Thanks everybody.
