And 121 00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 3: and uh, you know and that go ball today it 122 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 3: was just like one of those just like let it 123 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: fly kind. 124 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,160 Speaker 1: Of like see how it speed, uh, you know, picks up. 125 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 3: And it was when I thought that I threw a 126 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,800 Speaker 3: little too far and he ended up going to get it. 127 00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 3: So like that, that's just something I can put in 128 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 3: my memory bank. 129 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 1: You know. 130 00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 3: It's like you know, you always just get put in 131 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 3: these certain situations and you hope that you just keep 132 00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: building that memory bank of like learning guys. And I 133 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 3: think that's what like, you know, training camp of preseason 134 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 3: is all about, is just you know, you get to 135 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: bank reps with guys that in certain situations that you 136 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 3: that don't come up very often. And so today was 137 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,559 Speaker 3: one of those chances. Just I mean, he's going against 138 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:25,960 Speaker 3: a really GOODB so uh I was. I was very 139 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:26,719 Speaker 3: happy to see. 140 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: That kind of added that with you when you're deep passing. 141 00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 2: It feels from an outside of perspective like it has 142 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,600 Speaker 2: been kind of inconsistent this summer, So I'm wondering how 143 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 2: do you feel it's been from your perspective and how 144 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,280 Speaker 2: much of it really is that chemistry work. There's a 145 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 2: lot of guys that you're just not used to throwing 146 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,040 Speaker 2: to and obviously different speeds. 147 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,400 Speaker 3: Uh, inconsistent, I mean I wouldn't say that. I mean 148 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:45,080 Speaker 3: it's just more so just banking more reps with different guys, 149 00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,640 Speaker 3: you know. And you know, we wouldn't say we're a 150 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 3: every down deep throwing team, you know, so as many 151 00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 3: times we get put in those situations to to give 152 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: guys opportunities down the field, and you know, and us 153 00:05:58,560 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 3: being on the same page because you know we're gonna 154 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 3: go I can watch that rep and it's gonna be 155 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: a coaching point for not only the other quarterbacks but 156 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 3: the other receivers on things that Taekwon did good or 157 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: where he could approve on or how I could throw 158 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 3: the ball. So and that's what the thing is, just like, 159 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:13,320 Speaker 3: you know, how can we capitalize and because like I said, 160 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,080 Speaker 3: we don't get those opportunities very many times, so when 161 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 3: they do arrive, it's just like we got to find 162 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 3: a way to you know, hit it. So that's just 163 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: banking reps. And I think it's been fine. I think 164 00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: I went out. I mean, that's your job to write 165 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 3: the inconsistent part. But I wouldn't say, yeah. 166 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,560 Speaker 4: Tom Current's question earlier about the dynamic with with Drake. 167 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440 Speaker 4: She's given your you know, timing league. You're viewed as 168 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 4: as the mentor in the situation. Is that something you're 169 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 4: comfortable with or still feel like you're growing into. 170 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 3: Uh comfortable, Yeah, I mean I mentor means being a 171 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 3: good teammate. Yeah, I'm I'm I guess I'm the perfect 172 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 3: person for that, you know.
