1 00:00:01,160 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: So guys, thanks bro. A couple of people had this 2 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:18,560 Speaker 1: on him. And what's the sense of urgency right now? Um? 3 00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: You know we're trying to pick it up, of course, UM, 4 00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: just figure out the little things. It's no, nothing crazy 5 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: that we don't know. It's just a little couple of plays, 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: little things that we need to work on finishing. Um, 7 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:32,239 Speaker 1: but definitely a lot of urgency. You know, it's been 8 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 1: an urgency is just trying to figure it out as 9 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:37,479 Speaker 1: fast as we can. John, you said, you guys, the 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:39,479 Speaker 1: record is two and four. You don't feel like the 11 00:00:39,560 --> 00:00:41,840 Speaker 1: two important is how you do it? Yeah, it's definitely 12 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 1: how I feel. Man, Like we don't get the results 13 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: we wanted lately, but we know we're right there. Man, 14 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:51,519 Speaker 1: we know we're peaking. And uh, you know the urgency 15 00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: is is key because I don't want to wait till 16 00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 1: I'm in year three. You know that I'm trying to 17 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 1: do it now. So my mindset it's really you know, 18 00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 1: I'm trying to figure out thing I need to do 19 00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: and hopefully everybody in the building is thinking the same way. 20 00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:07,280 Speaker 1: So I definitely feel like we're getting there, but it 21 00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,080 Speaker 1: just takes time. What is it? What's it? Kind of take. 22 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 1: You know, you guys had this past game, like early 23 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:16,119 Speaker 1: in the game and then will really late in the game. 24 00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: You guys had some things going with there was a 25 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 1: whole middle section where you just couldn't really string a 26 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: drive together. So what's happening in those moments that you 27 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: guys can fix. Yeah, I think it's, Uh, just finishing 28 00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 1: better is the main thing. You know. We um have 29 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: little mistakes here and there. Towards the end. I feel 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,800 Speaker 1: like the driving ot we could have did a lot 31 00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: of things better after watching the take. Uh just can't 32 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: have little mistakes, you know, can't have a guy beating 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,759 Speaker 1: us off the edge, can't have me getting jammed up, 34 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 1: or somebody having to miss assignmon whatever it may be. 35 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: You know, we just can't do it at crucial times. 36 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: I feel like that's kind of the main thing. We're 37 00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: doing the wrong things at crucial times. I'm not saying 38 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: it's nothing crazy, but it affects what, you know, the 39 00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 1: result of the place. So that's what I was because 40 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:01,800 Speaker 1: then they threw the game. We're I feel like we're 41 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:04,160 Speaker 1: playing well, but when we get to like the end, 42 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,840 Speaker 1: our crucial drive is just we got to execute better 43 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: and that's what I would say. It's the main thing 44 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: something like that. No, yeah, man, Um, that whole sequence, dude. 45 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: You know, I've been thinking about that. Um. And I 46 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,360 Speaker 1: didn't touch the ball before that play, and uh, and 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: it came off my fingertips. So UM, I looked at 48 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: the film and I took like a one step slant 49 00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:29,239 Speaker 1: and I was supposed to run a three step slant. 50 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 1: So to kind of back to your question, it's things 51 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:33,480 Speaker 1: like that that I can't do and that's on me. 52 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 1: So when I did that, that's all I thought about. 53 00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 1: And then that play it was like, you know, what 54 00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: kind of mindset do you have? Like are you gonna 55 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 1: go to the sideline and cry through your helmet or 56 00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: you know, yell at Mac Is it his fault? But 57 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,959 Speaker 1: I literally took it all of myself, Like I said, 58 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: like I was supposed to run three step slant. They 59 00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: were kind of all over the place. So I'm like, 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,399 Speaker 1: I'm like, just go in the window. But that goes 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: away from my technique. So it's just like that's how 62 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: you have to think as player. And I felt like 63 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: me thinking like that, blaming myself, UM made that play happen. 64 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 1: The next play, Like you know my mindset was in 65 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,639 Speaker 1: the right place instead of getting down on myself, like 66 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: I just thought about the next opportunity and it was 67 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 1: just a crazy play how it happened. I mean I 68 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 1: was shocking exactly. Yeah, So like that type of stuff 69 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: is like it is mentally tough, like from go to 70 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:26,120 Speaker 1: that to that and then make the play Like it 71 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: didn't get me confidence, but that play before or made 72 00:03:29,800 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: made the confidence even go higher, because like I had 73 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: to make something happen and something that you apologize to person, 74 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: Like how does that work when you see that you 75 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: made an error? I mean obviously you guys are pros. 76 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 1: Could you go to them and say like, yeah, so, 77 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: like I told you my mindset, this is this my 78 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: fault every time. You know what I'm saying, Whether it 79 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: wasn't or it was, that's how I think. And I 80 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 1: felt like that all my career, man, and I always 81 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:57,280 Speaker 1: tend to make the next play are some good result 82 00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: later on, you know, to make up for my mistaken 83 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: Like I said, we all think like that in the building, 84 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: it'll go the right way, but when we start pointing 85 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,280 Speaker 1: fingers and stuff like that, it doesn't ever go right. 86 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,080 Speaker 1: So that's just the kind of mindset we need to have. Man, 87 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: you seek your results from that feel. Quarterbacks take to 88 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:19,440 Speaker 1: come back to me or in your shams. I've never 89 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: been a type to go, you know, to the quarterback 90 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: and complain. I'm always just what yeah, yeah, yeah, I 91 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 1: know what you mean. Yeah, Like I know exactly what 92 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:29,840 Speaker 1: you mean. But I've just never been that type. You know. 93 00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 1: I always look at myself first in the mirror before 94 00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 1: I go at. I'll ask and try to figure out 95 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: what could be better. But I never try to go tune, 96 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,080 Speaker 1: throw me the bar, force anything. You know, It's a 97 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,719 Speaker 1: team game. Like that play wasn't designed to come to 98 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 1: me first or whatever it may be. It's just he 99 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 1: saw me win the route, and you know he trusted. 100 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: I think that's what was the biggest thing. He saw 101 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 1: me beat digs and then it made him have a 102 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: better throw. Like if he would have saw me lose 103 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,880 Speaker 1: getting jammed def it just would have been a different result. 104 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 1: So like, I just kept my mind in the game, 105 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 1: you know the situation it was, and and just ran 106 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:05,279 Speaker 1: a good route, Like made sure I'm running a good routes, 107 00:05:05,279 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: trying to get open as much as I can. And 108 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 1: that's the word all it was when you have a 109 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 1: game like that, where as you mentioned, you don't see 110 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 1: a target until a few minutes, how do you keep 111 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: yourself engaged from a mentor, That's a great question. Just 112 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 1: trying to be in the game, you know, not even 113 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 1: just the offense, watching the defense, seeing how it's going, 114 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:27,080 Speaker 1: seeing the momentum, everything, feeling the crowd, just like really 115 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: being into the game is is my thing, like, and 116 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 1: that keeps my mind off not having no targets, like 117 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 1: because I'm a team player, and I'm a team player, 118 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 1: I am not worried about stats. I'm not worried about nothing. 119 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 1: You know, It's gonna come as it may, and if 120 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm getting open and I'm doing my job, it'll play 121 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: itself out how it's supposed to. So I said, I've 122 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,800 Speaker 1: never been a type to complaint, never been a type 123 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,560 Speaker 1: to get down to myself. Like just positive thinking at 124 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,279 Speaker 1: all times. It's how I've been, dude, And like I 125 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 1: made one of the biggest plays, and like I gotta 126 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: take it back to if I would have been down 127 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: on myself after that play, you know, I don't get 128 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: that next result. So that's the game you have to 129 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,600 Speaker 1: play with yourself, Like mentally tell yourself like, bro, you're 130 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: good or whatever. How you do it, man, is you 131 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: have to keep reminding yourself because I could have easily, 132 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 1: like I said, folded and went to the sideline. I'm 133 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: not getting no love, I'm not doing nothing, but my 134 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: mindset was just in a better place and I was 135 00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 1: still in the game. Important positive energy and it seems 136 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,479 Speaker 1: obviously to you in your life and obviously your career 137 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: us everything to me, man, especially to my teammates. You 138 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. They they see me like this, 139 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 1: My coaches know, as we all know, and I've just 140 00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: gotten results from it. Man, you know what I'm saying. 141 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 1: So that's the thing for me is I've never been 142 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 1: negative and I don't get negative results, so like it's 143 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: just crazy. I mean I don't have perfect they don't 144 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: get me wrong, but more results are good for me 145 00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 1: than negative me thinking like this. So that's my thing, man, 146 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,680 Speaker 1: It's just how I am
