Speaker 2: into this camp.

12
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:44,159
Speaker 3: I'm really excited, you know, just to be healthy. You know,

13
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 3: this is the healthiest I've been in a while. So

14
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: it feels good, you know, doing a whole off season

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 3: of just therapy and rehab and trying to you know,

16
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 3: feel good and get back to where you know, I

17
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 3: can just go play and feel healthy, and finally I

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,360
Speaker 3: have gotten to that point. So it feels really good.

19
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 3: You know, had a great off season of training and

20
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 3: feel like I'm in really really great shape and throwing

21
00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:07,399
Speaker 3: the ball well.

22
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:08,479
Speaker 1: And you know, we've had a couple.

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: Of days quarterbacks and the rookies days early just to

24
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 3: get you know, shake some of the rust off, kind

25
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 3: of get back in the flow, and I feel really good.

26
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,399
Speaker 3: I'm excited to get the rest of the crew here tomorrow.

27
00:01:19,480 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 3: It's gonna be awesome, you know. Just excited to be back.

28
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 3: And I mean this is that's what I love to do,

29
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:25,679
Speaker 3: is to play. So I'm excited to be back on

30
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 3: the field.

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 2: So, just to clarify, shoulder surgery ended last season, but

32
00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 2: you've been one hundred going for a little while now.

33
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so through I mean shoulder surgery in December,

34
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: so it's about a roughly like a six month recovery

35
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 3: for what I had. So you know, OTA's was a

36
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 3: little limited at first, not much, just more so like

37
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 3: some of the handoffs and stuff with the left arm

38
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 3: and a couple of.

39
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: Things a little limited.

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 3: But ever since that first you know month of springball,

41
00:01:57,520 --> 00:01:59,680
Speaker 3: I mean I've been pretty wide open. And then now

42
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 3: taking that into once we broke like the off season workouts,

43
00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 3: like really been working strength and pushing that left side

44
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 3: more in the weight room. Like that's kind of the

45
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 3: and so yeah, I feel great now. I feel like

46
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 3: I've gotten all my strength back and feeling good.

47
00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna say something crazy here you're five.

48
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: You're five.

49
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 3: It's crazy, it's crazy. Yeah, it's flown by. I mean

50
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 3: it's it is hard to believe you're five already.

51
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 2: Does it feel like that? And I guess the second

52
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 2: part of the question would be how different are you

53
00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 2: as a quarterback in terms of how you prepare in

54
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:30,680
Speaker 2: terms of how you approach this with four years under

55
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: your belt? How much more prepared do you feel going

56
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 2: into this?

57
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:34,079
Speaker 1: Yeah?

58
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously it's a new system, so that that

59
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,720
Speaker 3: changes kind of your scope of just what you're got,

60
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: you know, where you're at as far as in the scheme.

61
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 3: But I feel really good. You know, We've I've put

62
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:46,640
Speaker 3: a lot of time in this off season to master

63
00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 3: in the system. You know it started OTA's really like

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: a little bit before OTAs and just trying to master

65
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 3: our stuff, learn a new system, terminology, you know, formations, motions,

66
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,320
Speaker 3: different plays, all that stuff that's just you got to

67
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 3: learn and take the time to do it. And I

68
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: feel really good about that, not Tias, and even through

69
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: this break, I feel like I've really been able to

70
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 3: master it. And even coming back the last two days

71
00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 3: and having you know, a run a couple of plays

72
00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 3: with the young guys and just calling stuff in the

73
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,799
Speaker 3: huddle like it's nice that it feels so much more

74
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,320
Speaker 3: second nature than it did in the spring. So I

75
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 3: feel great physically. I feel really good. I feel like

76
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 3: I'm throwing it as good as I ever have. Like

77
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: I said, being back healthy is such a good feeling.

78
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 3: Just grateful for that. You know, I don't take I

79
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 3: don't take being healthy for granted anymore. I think I

80
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 3: did early on in my career because I you know,

81
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:33,839
Speaker 3: it was pretty fortunate early on, and the last couple

82
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 3: of years have been kind of tough, you know, banged

83
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 3: up a little bit, and just grateful for that. And

84
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm in a really good, good place.

85
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 3: And there's still a lot more work to put in,

86
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: and we got to prepare ourselves for the season, and

87
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: that's what training camps for. And I'm excited to see

88
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: how we come together as a team.

89
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: In terms of health. Do you think about, uh, protecting

90
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 2: yourself differently, playing any differently? Can you think that way

91
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 2: or is there any factor that ever comes up for you.

92
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: A little bit?

93
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 3: I mean I think it's you can't play afraid to

94
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 3: get hit or a friend contact, Yeah, you have to

95
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: play free and you have to trust yourself. And you know,

96
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 3: something I've done in my career, whether it's college or

97
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,280
Speaker 3: when I when I've played really well in the NFL

98
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 3: is use my legs and move. And it's not always

99
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 3: using your legs to run, but it's using your legs

100
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: to go the pocket and create plays off schedule. So

101
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 3: there's an element of that that I always want to,

102
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 3: you know, keep in my back pocket and be able

103
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: to do because I think the way the game is now,

104
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 3: that's such a huge part of playing quarterback. You know,

105
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: there's not a ton of guys that just sit back

106
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 3: there and and don't move at all. You know, defenses

107
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 3: are really good, defensive lines, the pass rush is really good,

108
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: so you have to be able to move. So there's

109
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 3: that part, But I think it's being smart too, you know,

110
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: not taking unnecessary hits if I.

111
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 1: Can throw the ball away.

112
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 3: Like throughout my career, there's been times where it's like

113
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: I could have thrown the ball away and I throw

114
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 3: it away late and still take a hit, and it's

115
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: just some of those it's like I still ended up

116
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: throwing it away, Like just throw it away a second earlier.

117
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 3: Some of those, And I think scrambling and being smart

118
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 3: of you know, it's either a three yard gain or

119
00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,839
Speaker 3: a six yard gain on first down, but if a

120
00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: three yard game without getting hit by a linebacker, it's

121
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 3: might be the smarter move.

122
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 1: So I think there's things that.

123
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,080
Speaker 3: You learned through playing and through experience and through getting

124
00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,920
Speaker 3: hit and getting hurt and doing different things that you

125
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:11,600
Speaker 3: get smarter as you get older.

126
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: Weirdest offseason you've had or the fullest.

127
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, fullest for sure.

128
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,679
Speaker 2: I mean surgery, fatherhood, Yeah, new offense, new coach.

129
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 3: I mean, this is a lot of change. Yeah, a

130
00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:24,360
Speaker 3: lot of change, A lot of good things, a lot

131
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 3: of great things. Obviously, surgery was disappointment. Just missing the

132
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 3: rest of the season and having to get back from

133
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: that and having a little bit of adversity with that

134
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 3: is was tough. But besides that, I mean, great changes,

135
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: great things. Obviously, it's adjustments, but being a dad is incredible.

136
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 3: Having our daughters six months old now, it's crazy how

137
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 3: fast that's gone by. But it's been amazing, you know,

138
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 3: change my perspective a lot, just you know, at home

139
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 3: and with her, and it's just incredible having her. And then,

140
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: like I said, the new staff here and everything here.

141
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 3: It's been it's been awesome. The staff here is really smart,

142
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 3: really sharp. The system is great. I love it, you

143
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,160
Speaker 3: know now that I really feel more settled into it

144
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 3: right and I can understand kind of the big picture

145
00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 3: and what we're doing. I have a lot of confidence

146
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 3: in it. Obviously, we still got a whole season to

147
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,279
Speaker 3: play this year and put it to the test. But

148
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:16,159
Speaker 3: I'm really excited. And the staff here has been working

149
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: so hard to give us every opportunity to be prepared

150
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 3: in the off season, you know, to study, just giving

151
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 3: us all the tools. I've been really impressed with how

152
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,719
Speaker 3: they've helped us prepare for this training camp and prepare

153
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,320
Speaker 3: to really have a great season.

154
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, so much goes into it, And.

155
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think a lot of people don't know

156
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 3: the amount of work it goes into in the off

157
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 3: season and in order to have a successful season and

158
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,560
Speaker 3: to prepare yourself. You don't just start over when you

159
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,360
Speaker 3: come to training camp and pick it back up. It's

160
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 3: a really it's really almost a year round process. So

161
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: it's been awesome working with the staff.

162
00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,720
Speaker 2: You talked about it. Some of OTAs and people are

163
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: so fascinated by it. But the footwork element of this offense,

164
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,840
Speaker 2: and maybe you mentioned footwear. People talk about people try

165
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 2: to analyze it. How what's so important about what you

166
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 2: were trying to learn and get better at in the

167
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: off season to fit into this offense if you follow the.

168
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 3: Question, Yeah, no, I do. There's a couple of little

169
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 3: things that a lot of people wouldn't know. You know,

170
00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: I switched my feet. My starting point in the stance

171
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 3: I staggered. I used to be right foot forward, Now

172
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 3: I'm left foot forward. So that's something that I've gone

173
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 3: back and forth on in my career a lot, and

174
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 3: I've always ended up and all my other systems been

175
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 3: right foot forward because that was the preferred you know,

176
00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 3: every system is different, but this one was left foot forward,

177
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 3: and I think it's great for quick game. It really

178
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,280
Speaker 3: times up, balances you up, and get you in a

179
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 3: position to throw easier and quick game drop back stuff.

180
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 3: It's it's just different. It's not necessarily easier better, but

181
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 3: it's just different. So working that was an adjustment for

182
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: the first month or so, and then it's just like

183
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 3: banked reps of that through tas through the off season.

184
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:47,760
Speaker 3: When I'm throwing the past five weeks, getting ready for

185
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:50,840
Speaker 3: training camp. It's working all those different footworks and then

186
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 3: tying all of my the biggest thing with footwork is

187
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 3: tying everything to your progression.

188
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: About timing right, and it helps you through the read

189
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 2: right more automatic.

190
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: It helps you you're always playing on time you have.

191
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: It helps with your time clock. You're like, I'm hanging

192
00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 3: in front side on this concept, but I've already hitched.

193
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 3: I should probably move on. There's everything's thrown on a

194
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: specific time rhythm. Yeah, so you feel if you're hanging

195
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:19,120
Speaker 3: on something too long and the coach has done a

196
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: great job in the spring, like hey, let's let's eliminate

197
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: this this hitch here. You don't like it, just keep moving.

198
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 3: Different things like that, where everything is so tied to

199
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 3: the footwork, where it's very specific because the game is,

200
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 3: like our staff says, it's you know, they try to

201
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: give us black and white rules and a structure and

202
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:39,680
Speaker 3: footwork and all these coaching points.

203
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: But it's a great game. So when you go out there,

204
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:44,200
Speaker 1: you be able to get.

205
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can play fast, you can you can make

206
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:48,880
Speaker 3: decisions quickly. It's never going to be perfect, you know,

207
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:53,600
Speaker 3: footwork and games is never perfect. Sure, pockets moving around.

208
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 3: You guys are gonna, you know, get beat occasionally up front,

209
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to make some plays. You're gonna have

210
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 3: to throw some things, not on the correct footwork, but

211
00:09:00,720 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 3: to have that to fall back on to where I

212
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 3: know when things are clean, when I'm thrown in rhythm,

213
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 3: this is my progression. This is why how my feet

214
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 3: tied to it, and it keeps me locked in.

215
00:09:08,800 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 2: And over time you're working toward that being muscle memory, right,

216
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: that's the whole gotcha, that's very cool stuff tell me about.

217
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,800
Speaker 2: First of all, Travis hunder your impressions.

218
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: He's awesome.

219
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 3: I mean just the the shape he's in, the conditioning.

220
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 3: I mean, he can run all day. I think that's

221
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 3: the first thing I noticed is just he'll run our

222
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: out come right back. If it's not how we want it,

223
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,439
Speaker 3: he'll just run it again. Usually guys will take a

224
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 3: break kind of get it, get it after a few reps,

225
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 3: take a second and catch their breath.

226
00:09:38,600 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 1: Thing go a couple of times, he just goes, goes, goes.

227
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,360
Speaker 3: I talked about press, How are you feeling good? He's like, oh,

228
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 3: I'm great. He's like not tired at all, you know,

229
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 3: and it's he just can go. His motor is super high,

230
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,239
Speaker 3: just the energy, very just positive.

231
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: Happy.

232
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: Guy has a lot of confidence in himself in a

233
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,560
Speaker 3: good way. You know, he's not arrogant, but he has that.

234
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 3: You need that confidence to go play at high level

235
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 3: in this soleet, especially that position.

236
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 1: You know, you have to have some that and he's

237
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: got it.

238
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: And you know, the biggest thing in the spring was

239
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 3: trying to get him up to speed with the offense

240
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 3: because it's not an easy offense to learn. There's it

241
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,439
Speaker 3: puts a lot on the players because it gives us answers.

242
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 3: In order to have all the answers, you got to

243
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 3: know all the problems, You got to know what your

244
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,199
Speaker 3: job is, your responsibility. And I've been proud of how

245
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:19,720
Speaker 3: he's just taking steps through OTAs even through this break

246
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: like a thrown with him a few times this offseason,

247
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 3: and you know, I can tell that he's put the

248
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,080
Speaker 3: work in and he knows more of the system and

249
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 3: it's starting to become more second nature. So I've been

250
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 3: really impressed by him and his work ethic and I

251
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 3: mean then on defense, he's also really really good corner too,

252
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:36,719
Speaker 3: so it's, uh, he can do a lot for us.

253
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 3: You know, we'll see how that unfolds during the season,

254
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 3: but glad he's on our team.

255
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 2: It's almost like with Brian Thomas junior. He was developing

256
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 2: as a rookie, accelerating very quickly, and now when you

257
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,760
Speaker 2: come back, I would think you've got to have an

258
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,600
Speaker 2: excitement level about what this guy has become and is

259
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 2: becoming one hundred percent.

260
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean him coming in as a rookie, like you

261
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 3: never know. You never know how good some one's going

262
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 3: to be until they're here and you get to play

263
00:11:01,920 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 3: with them and work with them a little bit. And

264
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 3: you know, I knew pretty early he's super talented and

265
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 3: special in his speed and ball skills and all those things,

266
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 3: but it still hadn't clicked completely because he's trying to

267
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,199
Speaker 3: learn a new system. He's trying he's got new teammates,

268
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 3: living in a new city, right, you know, thinking about

269
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 3: a lot in the field as far as just what

270
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 3: to do, Like it is tough learning a new system,

271
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:25,760
Speaker 3: especially coming from college. It's usually a lot more complex

272
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 3: the NFL scheme, So you know, I think it took

273
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: him a little bit just to kind of get that,

274
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 3: get settled in with that system and then start playing fast,

275
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:38,080
Speaker 3: you know, through training camp, and then he really started

276
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 3: to to flash and make some splash plays in training camp.

277
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: And then I remember in the preseason game against the Chiefs,

278
00:11:43,520 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 3: he caught that ball on the sideline and that was

279
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:48,880
Speaker 3: I knew how Yeah, I knew how talent he was,

280
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 3: but when he made that play and I saw that

281
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 3: that dog, that fire come out of him, and just

282
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 3: how juiced he was on the sideline because he's more

283
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 3: of a quiet guy, but you saw the competitor come

284
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 3: out of him and You're like, Wow, this has another gear.

285
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 3: And then you know, I got to play with him

286
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 3: for what eight games, only played eight games last year,

287
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 3: so I felt like we really started to kind of

288
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 3: we were just starting to catch our stride a little bit,

289
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:11,160
Speaker 3: like in that Green Bay game.

290
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: Yep.

291
00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 3: And he got hurt in that game, missed some of

292
00:12:14,559 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 3: that towards the end, and then you know, I felt

293
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 3: like then I got hurt the next week against the Eagles,

294
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 3: So we never really got to take off and have

295
00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,000
Speaker 3: a complete year. But being able to watch him with

296
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,280
Speaker 3: even though it was Mac in there not me like

297
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 3: being able to watch him play and to see how

298
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:31,680
Speaker 3: he dictated coverage, how he you know, changed the game

299
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,959
Speaker 3: from an offensive perspective, having that matchup one on one, the.

300
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Stuff that he was.

301
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,480
Speaker 2: He's going to draw doubles and make things easier. Forget

302
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,679
Speaker 2: people talk about receivers who do that. He really doesn't.

303
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 3: He does it and it's and it changes the defenses

304
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 3: whole game plan how you play him because he's that good.

305
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's a guy that you can't you

306
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 3: really can't play him one on one. You can, you

307
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 3: can try, and you know you might win a couple,

308
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 3: but he's going to win most of them. And that

309
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 3: is you know, as a quarterback and as an offense,

310
00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 3: to have a guy like that, there's not you look

311
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 3: around the league. There is there's a few of them,

312
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:04,079
Speaker 3: but there's not a ton of them. Those guys aren't

313
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 3: just everywhere.

314
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 2: There's not as many as people think there are.

315
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: No and and you know, he can do so much

316
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: for us. We can move him around and then bringing

317
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 3: in you know Diami, and we already have Parker who's

318
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,960
Speaker 3: a great player. We got Britain at tight end. We

319
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,320
Speaker 3: got Travis Hunter in the draft. We got some great

320
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 3: running backs. We have a lot of depth everywhere and

321
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 3: guys that can play and that's just gonna help. You

322
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:25,760
Speaker 3: know that we get you gotta spread the rock round.

323
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: I mean, bt he's gonna get his and he's gonna

324
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 3: he's gonna have a great season. But when defenses do

325
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,280
Speaker 3: want to try to take him away, you gotta have

326
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 3: other guys that can make plays.

327
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: And we got plenty of that.

328
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,160
Speaker 2: You know, we run along. We got a couple more

329
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,560
Speaker 2: impressions so far. Liam.

330
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,120
Speaker 1: I love him. Yeah, Yeah, he's he's great.

331
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 3: Just the communication for you know, obviously he's a first

332
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,760
Speaker 3: time head coach and seeing his leadership is a different style.

333
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 3: But he's very open, honest, clear communication with his players

334
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 3: and you know exactly where he stands. You know, I've

335
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 3: had a lot of conversations with him and just building

336
00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 3: that personal relationship and you know, me calling him about

337
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: something or him calling me about something and.

338
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: Just keeping me in the loop.

339
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: And you know, I've really appreciated the way he's handled

340
00:14:11,679 --> 00:14:14,599
Speaker 3: building our relationship this far, and I'm just excited to

341
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,400
Speaker 3: get to the season and uh, get in training camp

342
00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: and get to work with him. And it's it's been

343
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: awesome seeing the way he leads and the way he

344
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 3: you know, treats his players and his coaches and how

345
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: much he loves football. I think that's the I mean,

346
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 3: you would hope everyone loves football that's coaching, but seeing

347
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 3: him is just, yeah, it's it's impressive that he he

348
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,200
Speaker 3: really loves it and he puts so much into it,

349
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,120
Speaker 3: and he's so smart and seeing how he you know,

350
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 3: prepares and this offensive sit like he could coach.

351
00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: I think he could coach every position on offense.

352
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,520
Speaker 3: He's he has that much knowledge and detail and he

353
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 3: knows the why behind everything, and you know he's calling

354
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: the place, so you would hope so. But still, I mean,

355
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 3: it's still impressive to to see him operate and how

356
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:56,400
Speaker 3: sharp he is.

357
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:56,760
