1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,840 Speaker 1: You know, I'm excited to look back on the tape 2 00:00:01,920 --> 00:00:04,840 Speaker 1: look at the things I can clean up. I feel like, 3 00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: you know, guys are making plays out there. It was 4 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: good energy on the sideline and uh, you know, hopefully 5 00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:12,559 Speaker 1: we can just continue to stack stack wins and get 6 00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:13,200 Speaker 1: in the habit of it. 7 00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 2: Would you check us through the touchdown passion hope for you? 8 00:00:16,079 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: Yeah? You know, me and him have been you know, 9 00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:19,680 Speaker 1: if you've been following along, me and him have been 10 00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:21,880 Speaker 1: connecting a lot, you know, during camp and whatnot. And 11 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: he's been a great contested catcher on go balls. So 12 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,479 Speaker 1: I liked my matchup one on one and he was 13 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,600 Speaker 1: able to win over the top and made a great play. 14 00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,519 Speaker 2: Coach Gables said the operation would be the most critical 15 00:00:32,560 --> 00:00:34,879 Speaker 2: think he wanted to see from you today. How did 16 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,640 Speaker 2: you feel about the cleanliness of the operation? Yeah? 17 00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: I felt good. Look at you, sorry, just checking me. 18 00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,159 Speaker 1: I felt good about it. You know, it was kind 19 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 1: of my first time doing like a silent cadence, uh 20 00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:49,000 Speaker 1: in a road game atmosphere. So you know, we did. 21 00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: We did have a few pre snap penalties. 22 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: Uh. 23 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,559 Speaker 1: You know that we got to grow on and continue 24 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: to improve on those things. But I was happy overall 25 00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 1: about it, and uh, you know, I was. I was 26 00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:00,640 Speaker 1: really happy with how our old line played. I don't 27 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,279 Speaker 1: think that we had a sack all game if I'm right, So, uh, 28 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,320 Speaker 1: they played amazing, and I was, I was really happy 29 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:05,840 Speaker 1: with operation. 30 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,640 Speaker 2: You're showed you're daring a little bit there on a 31 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: couple of those runs. 32 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, I love it. 33 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: I love it. 34 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: If people haven't seen all of it though, so you know, 35 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 1: we'll continue to be smart with it. For sure. We're 36 00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 1: not sliding on that scrambled I think Dave's likes it, 37 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 1: to be honest. There's more of my teammates they're like, hey, like, 38 00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,000 Speaker 1: we don't need to see you, uh take any of 39 00:01:23,040 --> 00:01:27,040 Speaker 1: those extra shots, so make sure you're sliding. But yeah, yeah, 40 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,720 Speaker 1: Dave boll said you called the performance mid? 41 00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 2: Is that is that true? 42 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: Did you really say that We're all sitting you're raving 43 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,199 Speaker 1: about it and you called it mid. I just felt 44 00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,440 Speaker 1: like the only reason that we stop ourselves from scoring 45 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: touchdowns were just some of those third downs and not converting. 46 00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,640 Speaker 1: And I felt like, you know, personally, I'm I'm really 47 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: hard on myself, so in those moments, like I want 48 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: to capitalize on that, you know, those games, those possessions 49 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: in those crunch time situations, you know, really just games. So, 50 00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,600 Speaker 1: like I said, I feel like I can do a 51 00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: lot more, but I was happy with, uh with how 52 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,880 Speaker 1: the guys play around me. 53 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: How did the game meet you expectations in terms of 54 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: the speed, the quality of the play, maybe things that 55 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 2: you thought you might see or didn't see. 56 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought it was really cool that I was 57 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: able to go out there early. I think one of 58 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 1: my you know, a few of my drives, you know, 59 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot of their ones were out there, so you know, 60 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: kind of filling the you know, the play speed of 61 00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:24,519 Speaker 1: it all. And obviously, you know, preseason is a little 62 00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 1: different with how much you know, defenses are going to 63 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: incorporate and put in and whatnot. But you know, there 64 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: was definitely a little bit faster. But you know, I've 65 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: had a lot of great practice, uh, you know, going 66 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: against our guys each and every day, so you're just 67 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,280 Speaker 1: gonna try to continue to grow practice. You don't get 68 00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: in the pocket. It seemed like that when there was pressure, Yeah, 69 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 1: you evded it. I stayed down the field just I mean, 70 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,880 Speaker 1: that's it's rare to. 71 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: See that from a rookie. 72 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I just trust those guys. I trust. 73 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: I know I've been able to you know, sit in 74 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: that pocket fleeting and practices, and I think there's been 75 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,280 Speaker 1: a few things where people are like always holding on 76 00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 1: the ball pretty long. But you know, how I see 77 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: it is I've been having great protection so I can 78 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: do those things, and I just you know, really, you know, 79 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 1: big shout out to those big boys up front for 80 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,080 Speaker 1: keeping it clean. And you know, I know guys were 81 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 1: gonna get open right when I was about to get 82 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: hit or whatever it may be. But I'm comfortable sitting 83 00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:16,639 Speaker 1: in there when when the windows and the pressure gets 84 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,320 Speaker 1: on gets on, you know, you're not getting hit in 85 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 1: the mouth. On the touchdown path. That guy was one 86 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: step from hitting you in the mouth. It's been a 87 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:24,640 Speaker 1: while since that. 88 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 2: You know, you haven't done that since college. How did 89 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 2: that feel? 90 00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: Why were we able to stand in there and take 91 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: that hit because I just I knew the opportunity that 92 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: we were gonna have one on one with l l 93 00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,000 Speaker 1: J went over the top. And you know a lot 94 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,520 Speaker 1: of times, you know, those are some of the biggest 95 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,440 Speaker 1: players in the games, So you know, just in those 96 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: split seconds, being able to get the ball off and 97 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: you're about to get hit. I think it was TJ. 98 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 1: Sanders who hit me, and uh, you know, I've been 99 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,800 Speaker 1: hit by him a few times in college. So it 100 00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: was It's kind of funny out camp full circle when 101 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 1: we talked about that after the player, we're able to 102 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 1: see the completion of the player or do you have 103 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: to wait until afterwards. 104 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: To see players? 105 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 1: Honestly, I haven't seen the play. I just I kind 106 00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 1: of just blacked out and I was just super pumped. 107 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 1: So I was trying to get down this over with 108 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: the guys. Were your emotion promise to day? 109 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 2: I mean the end of the day, it starts go, 110 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: it starts going.

So I was just 115 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: trying to, you know, operate the offense and and get 116 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: the ball out of my hands pretty quickly to get 117 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: guys the ball in space for them to make plays. 118 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,120 Speaker 1: And I thought they did a great job at it. 119 00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 1: But you know, just kind of trying to stack these 120 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,000 Speaker 1: and the more episod.
