1
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: I believe this is the first time you fed three times.

2
00:00:06,720 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: So having prepared for them place already, albeit last year,

3
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,160
Speaker 1: does it make this week a little bit more easy.

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think so. Obviously, it's a new year.

5
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 2: The situation of this game is a little different. Uh,

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 2: the personnel is a little different. They had they have

7
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 2: guys that we haven't faced. So there's all that in

8
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 2: the in the in the in the play. So I

9
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,919
Speaker 2: think it's different for sure. And so that's how I'm

10
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 2: looking at it. And I think that's really the reality

11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,519
Speaker 2: of it. And so they're they're a good team. So

12
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,400
Speaker 2: you know, we're not going in thinking, oh, we beat

13
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:45,919
Speaker 2: these guys however many times before. It isn't like that.

14
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 2: You know, this is a new game, new team, and

15
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 2: that's how we're looking at it.

16
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: I don't describe your.

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 2: Man. Yeah, I have all the confidence in the world

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: in the NBA. He you watched the film, The separation

19
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 2: that he creates. You know, you get the ball in

20
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: his hands obviously, the second gear that he has to to,

21
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: you know, pull away from DB's or whoever's on the field.

22
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 2: He does it all and I think he's just one

23
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 2: of the most underrated receivers. I think in the NFL

24
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 2: we have so many playmakers like kid Old, McCaffrey, Debo,

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,360
Speaker 2: But Ba and what he's done and his production as

26
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 2: a as a receiver, he's got it. And so I

27
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 2: have all the confidence in the world and him man,

28
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 2: and and he's always where he needs to be and

29
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:31,280
Speaker 2: as a quarterback, that's all you could ask for.

30
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 3: So he feels like you feel that have a really

31
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: good feel for how he's going to run every route.

32
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: How do you get to that place with the receiver,

33
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 3: and how did you make it work with him specific?

34
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I know people say this all the time,

35
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 2: but it's his reps on reps, you know practice. It

36
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: started out I think in camp for us when I

37
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:53,639
Speaker 2: got back, it was just you know, studying how Ba runs,

38
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 2: how he breaks in and out of breaks. You know,

39
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 2: he's different from Debo, he's different from George, and so

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: sort of just take note of that. And then Ba's

41
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: just got length, man, he's got range, and so knowing

42
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: I know where where he can get to and where

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: I shouldn't throw the ball and where he's not going

44
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 2: to be. So and then obviously the games and stuff

45
00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: and the experience that we had last year together. We

46
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 2: we've built on that. I feel like, but throwing with

47
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 2: anticipation is huge for me, and so he understands that.

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,079
Speaker 2: And when I let the ball go, he gets to

49
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 2: where it needs to be and and we've made it happen.

50
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:32,120
Speaker 4: So how he runs? What do you mean exactly that?

51
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, like certain breaks. You know, there's receivers that run

52
00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 2: up and chop, chop and then break out, so it

53
00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: may take another you know, hitch or so with BA,

54
00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 2: I feel like he can cut on a dime and

55
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 2: get in and out of things pretty quickly. And you know,

56
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 2: and then just his speed, his explode, his explosion off

57
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,240
Speaker 2: the line gets DB's to push back and and that

58
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 2: makes it easier too for to create separation. And as

59
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 2: a quarterback, I can sort of see where he's going

60
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 2: to be. It makes it easier for me. So those

61
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,840
Speaker 2: are the little things. I mean, as a quarterback, what

62
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:06,600
Speaker 2: you look and study for on film at in your recovery.

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,799
Speaker 3: Did you feel like you could throw a fifty yard.

64
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: Passive year right where you want?

65
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 2: Man, I'd probably say, you know, a couple of weeks

66
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 2: before camp started, you know, there was times where I

67
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: was ripping it around fifty yards to where I wanted

68
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,720
Speaker 2: it to be, you know, to do it consistently. I

69
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 2: feel like that was you know, during camp, I was

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,320
Speaker 2: still trying to get to that point, build up that

71
00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 2: arm strength and everything and and and sort of work

72
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: out the fatigue kind of thing. So yeah, it's been

73
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 2: it's been a work in progress, you know, starting back

74
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: to camp, but for once the season hit, I was

75
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: able to do it.

76
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 4: So, yeah, it feels stronger now than last year and then.

77
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 3: We really refresh.

78
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I do feel like, Yeah, just my pre

79
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: and posts, you know, routine of throwing has allowed my

80
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 2: you know arm to get stronger. Just in general. You know,

81
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,200
Speaker 2: I've after the surgery, it was recover, but just my

82
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 2: habits and stuff of what I've done, you know, in

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: the NFL compared to college, like it's a night and

84
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 2: day difference, and I feel like it has helped my

85
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 2: arm you know, get stronger and so and then obviously

86
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 2: with the bye week two that that was huge, you know,

87
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: just to let my arm rest up and feel fresh again.

88
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 2: So all of those components added in, I feel like

89
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: my arm has yeah, gotten stronger.

90
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,160
Speaker 4: For between series. What do you like to do or

91
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: what's an essential part of what you do between the

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 4: series on the.

93
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 2: Sideline, he said again, sorry, like.

94
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 4: Like between series and you're on the sideline watching the defense,

95
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,239
Speaker 4: what kinds of things do you like to do during

96
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 4: that time to prepare you.

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,599
Speaker 1: For the next series.

98
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you come off and obviously look on

99
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 2: the iPad of the pictures that we get, just like

100
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 2: any other team, and we're going over you know, what

101
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:50,159
Speaker 2: we think they're doing and what our plan of attack is.

102
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: And then you know, sort of just talk to the

103
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 2: quarterbacks greasy of what they're thinking and what they're seeing

104
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:59,039
Speaker 2: in real time, not just on the iPad, picked their

105
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 2: brain a little bit, and so to just regroup, breathe

106
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: a little bit, and take breathing like pretty seriously. And

107
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: so from that moment on, just getting back into a

108
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 2: state of mind of you know, going back out and

109
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: making consistent decisions, the right decisions consistently. So that's what

110
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,359
Speaker 2: I do, is try to get my mind right and

111
00:05:16,360 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 2: not try to be so consumed with how the other

112
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: team is doing or anything. Just what what am I doing?

113
00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 2: What do I have to do on this next drive

114
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:27,799
Speaker 2: against the defense? So breathing pretty seriously, team and meditator

115
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: or yeah. I mean, like here within our team, we

116
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,839
Speaker 2: work with Ian and doctor Royer. You know, they do

117
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 2: a great job with just teaching us, you know, how

118
00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: to breathe pretty consistently, and it sort of just helps,

119
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:44,720
Speaker 2: you know, with our heart rates and and being able

120
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 2: to be in the present, you know, not getting caught

121
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 2: up in what's going on around us, but being where

122
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 2: we're at and there's like a you know, they just

123
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 2: sort of teach us how to breathe and have consistent breath.

124
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 2: So that helps me.

125
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: The off season that you guys want to really add

126
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,719
Speaker 3: the deep ball that was a kind of a priority

127
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 3: for you. Why would why was that important and how

128
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 3: do you think it may be has helped as offense

129
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:06,719
Speaker 3: kind of take another.

130
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: Step forward from Yeah, I mean, I think it's just

131
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 2: another component you know, the defense you know, has to

132
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 2: be aware about and respect in a sense. You can

133
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 2: obviously open up a lot of other things when there's

134
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: a threat of going deep, and that's just what that's

135
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 2: what it is. You know, we we have a personnel

136
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 2: where we can go deep and we have some speed,

137
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 2: and so there's opportunities when the defense gives the right

138
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: look for us and when we have the right play on.

139
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: Let's let it rip and let's take a shot. Let's

140
00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 2: take an opportunity. Even if it's not a completion, it's

141
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: it's showing them like, hey, we can stretch the ball downfield.

142
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,239
Speaker 2: So yeah, something that we've obviously looked at on film

143
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: and be like, we can do it. We have the

144
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,280
Speaker 2: personnel to do it. Let's take it serious and give

145
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: it a go. So something that we looked at in

146
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 2: the off season, and I mean we've always had, you know,

147
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 2: a plan every game, you know, dating back to last

148
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 2: year and stuff. It's always been a thing. So we

149
00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 2: just got to be aggressive and take the right shots

150
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: at the right time.

151
00:07:03,520 --> 00:07:06,159
Speaker 3: Are you seeing that, especially her recently since you've started

152
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 3: very consistently.

153
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think our offense has always done

154
00:07:10,520 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: a good job within the short the quick game, the

155
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,960
Speaker 2: intermediate game. But to be able to hit some deep balls, yeah,

156
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,240
Speaker 2: I think it definitely does. Puts in the back of

157
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 2: the minds of dbs like, man, they can they can

158
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: go deep, and we got to respect it. And then

159
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: it has opened up some things that I think, you know,

160
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:29,000
Speaker 2: we've seen the last couple of games the intermediate game

161
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: looking looking pretty good, just in terms of the defense

162
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:37,120
Speaker 2: respecting our deep ball. So I think it's true very

163
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: early in your starting career, and what would the atmosphere

164
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,120
Speaker 2: like and how has that helped.

165
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: You prepare this week?

166
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's a great, great environment, hostile environment,

167
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: and so it's just more about you know, being on

168
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: top of your the details, the the pre snap operation,

169
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 2: you know, speaking clearly in the huddle, breaking the huddle

170
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 2: on time, making sure we're all on the on the

171
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 2: right page with the snap points and not stuff. So

172
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: it's it's crucial, especially when you're in that kind of environment.

173
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: There's a lot of easy ways to get distracted, and

174
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: that crowd is obviously gonna do what they can to

175
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 2: you know, try to get us off you know, off beat.

176
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 2: And so yeah, it's it's one of those games where

177
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 2: every single play matters. Every everybody has to be paying

178
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 2: attention to detail because if not, you'll slip up and

179
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 2: and it won't be pretty.

180
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 4: So yeah, throws, what kind of did you say you can't?

181
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 4: I'm just due to your entry. Let you know, there

182
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 4: are certain things you just couldn't do.

183
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 2: You I mean, you know anything that just you know

184
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,000
Speaker 2: made me really coil up and absolutely rip it you know,

185
00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,719
Speaker 2: I feel like the quick game, the intermedia, all that

186
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 2: kind of stuff I was able to do, but you know,

187
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 2: to to really launch a ball or to I think

188
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 2: roll left roll rolling left was sort of tough. And

189
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,599
Speaker 2: throwing on the run going to my left just the

190
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 2: way I positioned my body and then it tweaking on

191
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:09,320
Speaker 2: that rib. So that was something that we sort of

192
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,360
Speaker 2: accounted for. But you know, outside of that, I felt

193
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,280
Speaker 2: pretty good with the adrenaline of the game and stuff

194
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 2: and was able to make it happen. So yeah, thanks guys,
