Some 20 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,599 Speaker 2: of the Vido is the only person that's had some 21 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:52,120 Speaker 2: history in this offense. Uh So it's a process of 22 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: of of of being intentional every single day, being able 23 00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,280 Speaker 2: to mix in a few laves here and there. But uh, 24 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: kochet Man, he is strict. Uh, he is purposeful. Uh, 25 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: so we trying to master this offense as best as 26 00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 2: we can. 27 00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: How has your relationship with Russ evolved since you guys 28 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: have both been here together? Man? 29 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,120 Speaker 2: Well it it's our relationship started in twenty fifteen, and 30 00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 2: really in twenty thirteen, uh when he won the Super 31 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: Bowl and uh and we won the national championship uh 32 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: that that year. And uh we had a ah a 33 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 2: similar uh mentor and and mental coach, Trevor Moat Uh 34 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,120 Speaker 2: that we both leaned on uh throughout the course of 35 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,480 Speaker 2: our career. Uh. Trevor's not with us anymore, got us, 36 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: it's so uh, but me and Russ we've been We've 37 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 2: been pretty locked in uh for for quite some time. Now. 38 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:37,399 Speaker 1: What have you seen from him so far? Uh? What? What? What? 39 00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,320 Speaker 1: I what? I've what we seen from Russ? Uh since 40 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,880 Speaker 1: he ento this football league? Uh? 41 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:44,319 Speaker 2: Just just a a pure leader, uh, a playmaker uh 42 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: and and just a true prouh Is he a different? 43 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,640 Speaker 1: Find a player here? Something to improved? You think? 44 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 2: I I think I believe that we all have something 45 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: uh to prove to ourselves. 46 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:53,960 Speaker 1: You know. Uh. 47 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 2: The first story that Rush shared uh w W with 48 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,480 Speaker 2: me was uh his locker position. He's sitting in the 49 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 2: same locker that he set in uh when he won 50 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl with the Seattle Seahawks. So I think 51 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,240 Speaker 2: that gives some type of of of context of what it. 52 00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:10,119 Speaker 1: Means to him. 53 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 2: And uh every year, uh, especially at the quarterback position, 54 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,919 Speaker 2: is only one of us. So we have to approach 55 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: that uh with the type of integrity uh and and 56 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 2: the type of responsibility that no one else has. 57 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 4: Jamus from when people talk about you when you were 58 00:02:25,720 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 4: coming here and even throughout your career, the first thing 59 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 4: they say is what a character? 60 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: What a character? 61 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 4: What a personality? Does that ever bother you that they 62 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 4: want to talk about that first and not mention who 63 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 4: you are as a football player or are you comfortable 64 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 4: with that? 65 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,840 Speaker 1: And just that you don't mean? 66 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,520 Speaker 2: Well, well, I I I'm grateful uh that I can 67 00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: bring joy uh to the game. 68 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 1: Uh. 69 00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,840 Speaker 2: I'm I'm grateful that uh through my hard work and 70 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,840 Speaker 2: effort uh on the football field that people notice me 71 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,080 Speaker 2: uh by my character. 72 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:56,919 Speaker 1: Uh. 73 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 2: So uh that that's just something that that comes with it. 74 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: You know, this is the this is the greatest game 75 00:03:03,160 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 2: in the world. So we need to be able to 76 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,160 Speaker 2: uh you know, drop o drop our hair a little 77 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: bit and notice that everyone has their own individual role. 78 00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,639 Speaker 2: And I know what I've done in this NFL league 79 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 2: in terms of playing football, and I'm grateful that I 80 00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,600 Speaker 2: have that experience. But I also know that when I 81 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 2: first came into this to this league, that I wasn't 82 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 2: looked upon as a man of high character. I wasn't 83 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,520 Speaker 2: looked upon as as that team oriented guy. I had 84 00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,920 Speaker 2: this perception of me that just wasn't true. And and 85 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,920 Speaker 2: through my course of dive it in and growing every 86 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: single year, Uh, I've proven myself to be. 87 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: Who I am. 88 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: And I think that is the greatest compliment that someone 89 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 2: can give you, is that you're You're truly who you are, 90 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:54,400 Speaker 2: despite the character or the giggles. I think if you 91 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,520 Speaker 2: ask any of my teammates, uh, any of my coaches 92 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 2: who I am, they were James is truly who he is. 93 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 3: James, when you talk about the experiences that you've had throughout. 94 00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: Your career, how can you bring that to Jackson. 95 00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,560 Speaker 5: And help him? 96 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, I think one of the one of the 97 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 2: toughest way to experience something is through experience. So I 98 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: feel like some of the trials and some of the 99 00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 2: victories that Russ and myself or even Tommy have had 100 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: throughout our career. We're able to relay that message to 101 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: him in a way that maybe he gets a chance 102 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:38,080 Speaker 2: to see something before it happens, or maybe we give 103 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,760 Speaker 2: him a few nuggets that he can take so he 104 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 2: doesn't put himself in situations that we may have put 105 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 2: ourselves in. But ultimately, Jackson is his own guy. So 106 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:50,120 Speaker 2: he's gonna get out there and he's gonna have some 107 00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 2: great human experiences. But we can speak to him and 108 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 2: encourage him in a way that limits some of the 109 00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:00,520 Speaker 2: lack of experience that will be benefits for him. 110 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,960 Speaker 1: Touchdown at the end there, and how much have you 111 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 1: seen him grow? Yeah, I think all touchdowns we love. 112 00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:10,320 Speaker 2: I don't think there's one touchdown that that I haven't 113 00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: loved in my life. 114 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: So I think we were excited about that. But it's 115 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:15,520 Speaker 1: just the beginning. 116 00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 2: It is just the beginning for myself, is just the 117 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,280 Speaker 2: beginning for this football team. 118 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 1: Uh And that's something to be excited about. But we 119 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 1: look good, we feel good. 120 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 2: Uh and and I believe we're doing some great things 121 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:28,840 Speaker 2: uh with with the big Blue right now. 122 00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: Uh. 123 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:36,680 Speaker 2: Well, I think that is always something that coaches search for. 124 00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 1: Uh. 125 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 2: In this in this in these springs signs. But one 126 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: one thing that that Dave's and and Shade and Kafka 127 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:49,240 Speaker 2: always are emphasis emphasizing is our effort. You know, we're 128 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 2: learning all of us are put poor in time and 129 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 2: effort into this playbook. 130 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,919 Speaker 1: But how we exemplify that on the field is shown 131 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: about our individual. 132 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 2: Effort, how we're running around, how we're moving fast, how 133 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 2: we're getting back up and trying again, how we're not 134 00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 2: being down on ourselves, how we lifting. 135 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:07,120 Speaker 1: Each other up. 136 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 2: Uh, and I and I believe throughout this entire camp 137 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 2: in O t A that we have we've shown that. 138 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 2: So our identity is, uh, you know, a bunch of 139 00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:19,839 Speaker 2: relentless individuals hungry to get better. 140 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 1: Jamis. 141 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,000 Speaker 5: The landscape of the quarterback room has changed a lot 142 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 5: since you've signed here. 143 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 1: Obviously the designed RUSS. 144 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,240 Speaker 5: After that that director Jackson, are you are you still 145 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 5: confident that if it comes down to it, that you'll 146 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:30,839 Speaker 5: get you'll. 147 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,360 Speaker 1: Get a shot if I if that's the way it 148 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:34,599 Speaker 1: plays out, Yeah, yeah. 149 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,000 Speaker 2: When when when it comes to that, I focus on 150 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,280 Speaker 2: on what that what I can do, uh, and what 151 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 2: I can do is has come to work, uh with 152 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,240 Speaker 2: the intention to get better every single day.

But my job is to be the best 155 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,719 Speaker 2: Jameis Winston that I can be. And Jameis Winston incorporates 156 00:06:56,720 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 2: being a leader, helping on a little young buck, learning 157 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,680 Speaker 2: things from the older older uh veteran, assisting the older 158 00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 2: veter veteran, learning from the three year quarterback that's been 159 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 2: in this room. It encompasses a lot, uh But but 160 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,280 Speaker 2: I stay focused on uh on on. 161 00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: What I would love, and what I would love is 162 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,240 Speaker 1: to to be my very best chan. 163 00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:19,280 Speaker 5: It's this offense the last years she really struggled to 164 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 5: score points, you know, down down the bottom of the league. 165 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,160 Speaker 5: When you see what this team has, the receivers, the 166 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 5: line tight against the running backs. 167 00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: Whoever the quarterback is would be Russian trust. 168 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 5: Is there any reason why this offense should not be 169 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:32,640 Speaker 5: your good. 170 00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:33,560 Speaker 1: Offense in the league? 171 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 2: Well, no, it it it it is. We're gonna do 172 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,600 Speaker 2: amazing things. But I think it's it's day to day growth. 173 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:41,520 Speaker 1: You know. Uh. 174 00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: And and we're definitely not gonna look at last year. 175 00:07:43,600 --> 00:07:45,520 Speaker 2: We we can't really we can't focus on that, you know. 176 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: We gotta keep our eyes on what we would love 177 00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 2: and what we would love is to be the Super 178 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 2: Bowl winning champions. 179 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: And I and I think all of us would love that. Uh. 180 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,760 Speaker 1: But it's a process. It's a day by day process. 181 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: And yes, we got the pieces, you know, we got 182 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: the coaches, we got the players. 183 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Now it's about consistent execution. 184 00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 3: Chamis anymore, James, You've seen Russ obviously seen mentionicine since college. 185 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 3: But just when people see from the outside, hey he's 186 00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 3: an older player, does he still have it? What have 187 00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 3: you seen from him during your OTAs, it says, Uh, 188 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 3: this guy still got a chance to to lead this team. 189 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,480 Speaker 2: Uh well, I mean he he's a not a born leader, right, so, Uh, 190 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:20,760 Speaker 2: that's that's in a bag. 191 00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: Uh. 192 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 2: He's still athletic, you know, no matter how old he is, 193 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: he's aging like fine wine. He has a a team 194 00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:30,560 Speaker 2: of of caregivers, with a team that just supports him, 195 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:31,680 Speaker 2: that allows him to be his best. 196 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: And that's why he's been good for a long time. Uh. 197 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 2: And and he's just uh, he's just a great player, 198 00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: you know. And I think when you have constant people 199 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,200 Speaker 2: maybe down or even lifting you up, you always got 200 00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,120 Speaker 2: the zone end into like you know what would you love? 201 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: And I think he he stays focused on what he 202 00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 2: wants and I think that's very unique about him. 203 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,520 Speaker 1: Cause whatever he's born in the past has been successful. Uh. 204 00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 2: So I I encourage him to continue to to focus 205 00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 2: on that and and go higher. 206 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:58,800 Speaker 3: James, why names sad bags in the defense? 207 00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 5: Gives you a chance to be better because of what 208 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 5: they have a be decided? 209 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,400 Speaker 1: What have you growing up against? Another thing? Uh? Absolutely? Uh? 210 00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: Uh our defense is uh is tenacious. Uh. 211 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 2: I'm and I'm happy we got the addition of of 212 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,719 Speaker 2: passing the debo and Javon Holland you know, Javon is 213 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,680 Speaker 2: a ball hawk and I know personally the lockdown corner 214 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 2: that uh that passing the debo is uh. But I 215 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 2: know it starts with the trenches. And when you have 216 00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: three and I'll say four because I love uh Nacho. 217 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:28,120 Speaker 2: And when you got four prominent defensive linemen, two in 218 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 2: the middle, two on the edge, uh, you should win 219 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,720 Speaker 2: football games. Uh, because it starts with the front. 220 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:35,160 Speaker 1: What thanks for us? 221 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 3: The natural born leader? 222 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,160 Speaker 4: Like what's he doing on a day, like especially at 223 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 4: the spring. 224 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 1: What he's doing? 225 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 2: I I I think, I think, what what what makes anyone? 226 00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:43,199 Speaker 1: Uh? 227 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,880 Speaker 2: A natural born leader is the ability to serve. And 228 00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 2: I think that when you're intentional with your servitude, you 229 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: get things back. When you're a giver, you get back, 230 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,200 Speaker 2: you know. When you're when you're a taker, you know, 231 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 2: you really don't get uh much back, you know. And 232 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: I think Rush as a server, he's he's consistently uh 233 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 2: in checking on all the guys. 234 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: Okay, do they understand the process? Do they understand the concept? 235 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 2: Uh? He's uh he's speaking to the guys uh in 236 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:15,319 Speaker 2: the locker room. Uh, just confirming that, uh that we're 237 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,160 Speaker 2: seeing the same things. And I think that is uh, 238 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 2: that's important, uh for the quarterback position.
