Speaker 1: Well, how do you look at the first three days
Speaker 1: of KINGAP and are you doing what you want to
Speaker 1: do at this point?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think, uh, you know, obviously there's
Speaker 2: some corrections to be made and just kind of continue
Speaker 2: to feel more and more comfortable every single day. But
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's continuing to challenge myself, uh
Speaker 2: you know, just studying as much as I can before
Speaker 2: and after practice. But uh, yeah, I feel like these
Speaker 2: past three days have been pretty good. Obviously they can
Speaker 2: be better, but doing everything I can to to put
Speaker 2: myself in a good position during practice.
Speaker 1: When you go back and watch it, it's all going
Speaker 1: where it should be. How's your your decision making, your
Speaker 1: thought process, how you're seeing things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I'm happy with the decision making. Again,
Speaker 2: you know, the way that the way that we talk
Speaker 2: about our reads in the in the QB room, it's
Speaker 2: very clean. So I feel like I'm I'm happy with
Speaker 2: the decision making. I feel like a couple of balls
Speaker 2: could have been better, you know, throughout these these last
Speaker 2: three days. But yeah, you know, that's just the beginning
Speaker 2: of camp and continue to you know, iron it out
Speaker 2: and get better throughout the camp.
Speaker 3: You're you're all going against the second team defense. Steve
Speaker 3: Wolves was, you know, talking about the depth of that
Speaker 3: unit yesterday and how good it is.
Speaker 2: Can you can you tell.
Speaker 1: That that you know from the from the pressure or
Speaker 1: the speed of it, that even the backups are pretty
Speaker 1: good out there?
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt. I think you know the way that
Speaker 2: just the example that that Fred and dre E sept
Speaker 2: for for the backers, and then you know, obviously the
Speaker 2: front no matter whether it's with the ones, the twos,
Speaker 2: are the threes, the offensive line and the defensive line
Speaker 2: continue to push each other every single day, and the
Speaker 2: tempo has been really good. The effort's been really good.
Speaker 2: You see it on tape, so I know those guys
Speaker 2: can't wait to get in pads here pretty soon. But yeah,
Speaker 2: you know, between the ones, the twos and the threes,
Speaker 2: you know, obviously, you know it's tough sometimes to tell
Speaker 2: a difference.
Speaker 3: You had a real nice ball to Ray Ray down
Speaker 3: the sideline. How long does it take you before you
Speaker 3: feel like you've got a good feel for each one
Speaker 3: of your receivers and how they like to run their routes.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it takes time. I think it's as
Speaker 2: much as you can. Obviously it's tough with camp and
Speaker 2: and all the reps and those guys running so much
Speaker 2: throughout the day during practice, But you know, whether it's
Speaker 2: a little bit before obviously you know, uh in the
Speaker 2: locker room talking about routes and then after practice getting
Speaker 2: as many routes as possible, but also being smart about
Speaker 2: you know, staying off your feet and for us, keeping
Speaker 2: keeping the reps limitted with with our arms, keeping arms fresh.
Speaker 2: So but yeah, I think it's just the continued dialogue
Speaker 2: that we have with the receivers and getting a feel
Speaker 2: with them that way.
Speaker 3: It kind of.
Speaker 2: A challenge for you to get used to this rotation
Speaker 2: and the last two days for the second team and
Speaker 2: that to get in a rhythm to No, I don't
Speaker 2: think so, you know, I think you know, you kind
Speaker 2: of talk about it all the time, like sudden change.
Speaker 2: You never know when the defense is gonna go out
Speaker 2: there during a game and and force a turnover, and
Speaker 2: you know, you just never know when your number is
Speaker 2: gonna be called. So you know, it's it's it's been good,
Speaker 2: you know, the way that the reps have been going,
Speaker 2: and again it's it's about taking advantage of those reps,
Speaker 2: taking advantage of your opportunity when it when it comes.
Speaker 1: Just kind of touched on that there. But Kyle on
Speaker 1: Tuesday said that any time that brockets out there on
Speaker 1: the field, he'll be running with the ones. As a
Speaker 1: guy who you know fIF five career starts, you know,
Speaker 1: how do you take that and how do you approach
Speaker 1: this camp knowing that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, no, Brock, I don't know exactly what
Speaker 2: it was, but you know, I don't think he lost
Speaker 2: a game last year, went to the NFC Championship, and
Speaker 2: who knows what could have happened if you know, you
Speaker 2: didn't get hurt. So you know, I get it, and
Speaker 2: uh you know again like I'm just I'm here to
Speaker 2: to get all the opportunities that I can and and
Speaker 2: see what my role is for this team.
Speaker 1: You never know when your numbers is gonna be called
Speaker 1: to know when you're getting reps.
Speaker 2: No, I mean we have a good feeling, you know
Speaker 2: before practice how the rotation is gonna go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when was the last time you were in like
Speaker 1: this position.
Speaker 3: As a backup?
Speaker 2: Last year? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, last year. Obviously we made
Speaker 2: the trade for Baker last year in Carolina, and you know, again.
Speaker 2: Uh we we battled it out during camp. Obviously he
Speaker 2: won the job, and you know, just try to like
Speaker 2: I just said, try to take advantage of everything, you know,
Speaker 2: every rep that I could, you know, from that point forward,
Speaker 2: once he got you know, before he got named the
Speaker 2: starter and after of course of course you.
Speaker 3: Did end playing last year. What would you take from
Speaker 3: that experience, you know, kind of doing it again, that
Speaker 3: may help you you're doing it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's not really thinking about it too much,
Speaker 2: to be honest. I think it's you know, just getting
Speaker 2: in there when you get a chance to play well
Speaker 2: and just have a good understanding of what's going on
Speaker 2: the play. That's that's called what the situation is, the
Speaker 2: down and distance. I mean, there's so many different factors
Speaker 2: that go into playing quarterback. You don't really you know,
Speaker 2: you don't have too much time to be thinking about,
Speaker 2: you know, what reps you're getting or you know, for me,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not counting reps out there. I'm just
Speaker 2: you know, cliche, but trying to make them count.
Speaker 1: What is it about me here that it makes you
Speaker 1: feel like this situation can bring out the best in you?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think really good team, really good teammates,
Speaker 2: the coaching is really good, and obviously it's a you know,
Speaker 2: first class organization.
Speaker 1: Look seems to have it really hands on coaching style.
Speaker 3: Play will happen.
Speaker 1: He will run right up to one of his corner
Speaker 1: and right What was What was he like as a
Speaker 1: head coach last year? What was he like that with
Speaker 1: offensive players as well?
Speaker 2: You know, he would have separate conversations with us, you know,
Speaker 2: whether it was in between periods or maybe before or
Speaker 2: after practice, but you know, as a head coach, he
Speaker 2: was more focused on the entire operation. You know, when
Speaker 2: he was a defensive coordinator early in the season, he
Speaker 2: was doing the same stuff you guys see a practice.
Speaker 3: How have you changed person since?
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think that's a good question to
Speaker 2: ask people around me. I don't know. I feel like
Speaker 2: I've matured and different areas of my game. I feel
Speaker 2: like my game's gotten better throughout the years. So, you know,
Speaker 2: I just got to continue to.
Speaker 1: Work and get better.
Speaker 2: In every area that I can see.
Speaker 3: There's high expectations for this team this year. How was that?
Speaker 3: How does the camp feel different to you than what
Speaker 3: you experience is prior to coming here?
Speaker 2: You know, I think every team, every team in the
Speaker 2: NFL is going to compete and compete really hard. I think,
Speaker 2: you know, just the situation that most of the guys
Speaker 2: on this team, the leaders on this team have been
Speaker 2: in being you know here in twenty nineteen, going to
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl and last year being just short. There's
Speaker 2: a lot of experience on this team, and you know,
Speaker 2: they know what it takes to win. And you can
Speaker 2: see that not only in the way that they practice,
Speaker 2: but in the way that we all talk about football
Speaker 2: and what it takes, not only on the field but
Speaker 2: off the field.
Speaker 1: Three practices all non padded as a quarterback doesn't make you,
Speaker 1: do you feel something different when the pads go on?
Speaker 2: You hear a difference, you know, feel a difference. You know, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, obviously there's a little bit of a difference
Speaker 2: in terms of throwing. You know, got to get used
Speaker 2: to throwing with pads on a little bit. But you know,
Speaker 2: you're you're not really getting touched at practice as a quarterback,
Speaker 2: or hopefully you're not getting touched as a quarterback during practice,
Speaker 2: So it's not a ton changes. So yeah, not too
Speaker 2: much here.
Speaker 3: You touched on what Brock accomplished last year.
Speaker 2: How people still don't understand exactly how he did it
Speaker 2: give it, you know, or he was picked all that.
Speaker 3: But when you watched the film, what do you see it?
Speaker 3: What are you see in him? What special qual of
Speaker 3: these discs?
Speaker 2: Says, Yeah, I think for Brock it's you know, just
Speaker 2: being here for the for the time that I have
Speaker 2: and a couple of practice i've I've seen. It's the poise,
Speaker 2: you know, for for his going into his second year
Speaker 2: and as a rookie last year, you can see it
Speaker 2: in the way that he plays and the way that
Speaker 2: he prepares kids. Got poise and you know that's you know,
Speaker 2: I don't know if you can coach that or teach
Speaker 2: that quality, and he's got it.
Speaker 1: It appears that Brandon, i you, is communicative in between
Speaker 1: team drill reps.
Speaker 3: You guys had a conversation after a ball yesterday. Him
Speaker 3: and Kyle talked a few times. Is he giving you
Speaker 3: feedback after the reps that you have together were not together?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all the you know obviously Ba, but
Speaker 2: all the receivers are doing a really good job communicating,
Speaker 2: you know, after practice or after a route. So yeah,
Speaker 2: it's it's great. Whenever you can you know run a
Speaker 2: route whether it's good or bad. Continue to have that dialogue.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
