1 00:00:00,960 --> 00:00:02,279 Speaker 1: Since you've been home for Christmas? 2 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,080 Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, it has been. Yeah, it's been been a 3 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:09,440 Speaker 2: few years actually in you know, coach Saban who used 4 00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 2: to give us like half a day off, so that 5 00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 2: was always nice. We get Chris's morning off. Maybe what 6 00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 2: are the advantages to seeing a team for the second 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,919 Speaker 2: time in four weeks? Yeah, definitely part of the NFL scheduling. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 2: And I've been in this situation before when when you're 9 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:30,000 Speaker 2: younger player in the league and it happens, you're kind 10 00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:32,159 Speaker 2: of like, oh, we just played them, and then you're 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,080 Speaker 2: kind of like, all right, it's football, and they can 12 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,440 Speaker 2: change their game plan, you can change yours, so you 13 00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:38,720 Speaker 2: never know what you're gonna get. But at this point 14 00:00:38,720 --> 00:00:40,720 Speaker 2: in the season, you know everyone does what they do 15 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 2: and once again it's a great defense that we get 16 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,040 Speaker 2: to go against and a lot of good players, good coaches. 17 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,519 Speaker 2: So looking forward to the opportunity. 18 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,320 Speaker 3: Beyond just the personal pride, Uh, where else can you 19 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,440 Speaker 3: just find motivation for these last last two. 20 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 1: Weeks given the record that you have, the record the 21 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,000 Speaker 1: opponent has, and is there is there any. 22 00:01:02,840 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 3: Carrot for you guys? The fact that you could finish 23 00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:07,560 Speaker 3: with a winning division record if you can win these 24 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 3: last year. 25 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:10,840 Speaker 2: Ye, it's a great point, I think, as as we know, 26 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,040 Speaker 2: we're trying to win them all and hasn't gone our 27 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:15,520 Speaker 2: way this year, but we do have great opportunity this weekend. 28 00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:17,960 Speaker 2: And if you're a competitor and you get a chance 29 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 2: to play in the NFL, you're gonna go out there 30 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:21,800 Speaker 2: and play your heart out. So that's how I view it. 31 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 2: I know the guys on our team are feeling the 32 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:26,840 Speaker 2: same way. Obviously. You know it's a circumstance we may 33 00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 2: not want to be in, but you got to really 34 00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: view it as a challenge and take it one play 35 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 2: at a time, like I always say, and go out 36 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 2: there and put good stuff on tape because somebody's watching. 37 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:39,319 Speaker 2: Doug said earlier at Cole van Landon's gonna be able 38 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,840 Speaker 2: to start left happen going forward. Yeah, just you know, 39 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,200 Speaker 2: being able to practice with them PREPA season now big 40 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,800 Speaker 2: with an opportunity just as that's awesome. I love Cole, 41 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 2: We've we've had a good friendship growing here, So definitely 42 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 2: start on the scout field and OTAs and whatnot and 43 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,360 Speaker 2: just keeping it loose, keeping it fun. He's done a 44 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 2: good job. He works really hard, He's in my draft 45 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: class and when I got here just building that friendships 46 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:04,920 Speaker 2: mean a lot to me, so I'm excited for him. 47 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: He obviously stepped in the last time we played these 48 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,840 Speaker 2: guys and did a good job. So I think that's 49 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 2: a great example of a guy trying to get some 50 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 2: great film and put his best foot forward, and hopefully 51 00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:15,680 Speaker 2: everyone else can do the same. 52 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,800 Speaker 3: Bretton was pretty highly critical of himself for the fumble 53 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,760 Speaker 3: after the game the other night, but other than that, 54 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 3: have you been at all? It's just kind of what 55 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 3: you expected out of him. If he if given the 56 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: opportunity to get as many targets as he's had. 57 00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, he would be able to deliver. Yeah, for sure. 58 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,960 Speaker 2: I think you know, there's definitely a few young bright 59 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: spots on this team, and that's always exciting as a 60 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: fourth year player to see some young guys make really 61 00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 2: good plays in a game. So I think they can 62 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 2: build on that, and like I said, don't put too 63 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 2: much pressure on you. Every week is a new week, 64 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 2: so he's he's already forgotten about that play, and he's 65 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 2: made a lot of great plays in practice this week, 66 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: and same with BT and Parker and everybody. So we 67 00:02:57,360 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: got a good group out there. Like I said, we're 68 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:02,480 Speaker 2: growing together. The communication needs to be, you know, really 69 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 2: good when you got a group with some new guys 70 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 2: on it. So I feel like we've improved in that 71 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 2: area with with Press and everybody. So looking forward to 72 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: taking the field with him as a quarterback. 73 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,920 Speaker 3: You obviously don't want to try to force balls into 74 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 3: take coverags or anything like that. But when it's when 75 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 3: it's Brian who's sort of the target, are you like 76 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 3: more tempted maybe to take that risk with him? 77 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still learning learning about that a little bit, 78 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: just having played, you know, with some good receivers. I 79 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,360 Speaker 2: think he's definitely one of the best ones I've played with, 80 00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 2: and you have to try and give him the ball, 81 00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 2: but also just see the defense and go through your reads. 82 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 2: I mean I could just drop back and throw it 83 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,280 Speaker 2: to him every time. I guess we'll see how I 84 00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: mean goes. But I do think you have to go 85 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,240 Speaker 2: through you know, hey, maybe it's one play he isn't 86 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:49,480 Speaker 2: the primary read and he does get it or he doesn't. 87 00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: So for him, I mean, the challenge is to get 88 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 2: open on every route, right. I Mean, everyone's watching, they 89 00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: know when you're open and when you're not. And I 90 00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 2: see it too on film. So even if the ball 91 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: doesn't go to you, say he goes to Parker or 92 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: somebody else, I'm still like, all right, well bet was 93 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 2: opened by a couple of yards, and maybe I should 94 00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 2: just go straight to BT or whatever. So every situation 95 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: is different, but yeah, I mean a lot of our 96 00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,680 Speaker 2: place definitely start with BT. And it's because he's earned 97 00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 2: that respect. 98 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:18,840 Speaker 1: You've talked a lot about your chemistry and the work 99 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: you've done with him. 100 00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,040 Speaker 2: But yeah, someone who grew up like. 101 00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:24,480 Speaker 1: Watching Jaguars working receivers coming, how special has this been 102 00:04:24,560 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 1: to actually work alongside him? 103 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's really cool. I think anytime you get a 104 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: guy who plays well in college and it translates, you know, 105 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: early in their career, it's awesome. And he's done a 106 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 2: great job of that. And like I said, he needs 107 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 2: to just stay humble and keep doing what he's doing. 108 00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: And I know he'll be here for a long time 109 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: and make a lot of plays. So it's been fun 110 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 2: working with him. We got two more here, and I'm 111 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: excited to see what he can do. 112 00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:55,000 Speaker 3: You think he could get throwing a bet on every play? 113 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,440 Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm like I said, I'm just gonna 114 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:01,480 Speaker 2: gonna go through my reads and and take the hypercentage throws. 115 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,719 Speaker 2: But that is I always do watch. I mean, sometimes 116 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 2: there's only one football, right they always say that, So 117 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 2: you can throw it to one guy and obviously you 118 00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:12,840 Speaker 2: got to watch the tape and learn and see how hey, 119 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,719 Speaker 2: maybe we can do this to get him open or 120 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,680 Speaker 2: he was open and I missed it. So you just 121 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,640 Speaker 2: got to look at it with truth wise, how important 122 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 2: these seven games are for your future? 123 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 1: What do you feel what you've comfortable with or what 124 00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: are you most proud of that you've been able to 125 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: put on tape for basically your resume for next year. 126 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, once it's all said and done, 127 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 2: we'll review everything and see what I can get better at. 128 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 2: But every week is a new week for me, and 129 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,440 Speaker 2: we've been in these games at the end and then 130 00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: that's been really good for us. But definitely want to 131 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,080 Speaker 2: finish and try and win and take it one play 132 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:44,559 Speaker 2: at a time. Like I said, I've done a decent 133 00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 2: job of that, and really just continue to grow and learn. 134 00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:50,880 Speaker 2: That's all you can do. And once it's all said 135 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: and done, I always at the end of the year, 136 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 2: review everything and see what I can get better at, 137 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:58,200 Speaker 2: so the process doesn't change. But I do believe, you know, 138 00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 2: I definitely have a good confidence going into these I 139 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:01,600 Speaker 2: know they're. 140 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,599 Speaker 1: All special, and you know every opportunity you get to 141 00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:07,080 Speaker 1: play is going to be special for you. But what 142 00:06:07,160 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: is it going. 143 00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 3: To be like for you one more home game to 144 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,120 Speaker 3: run through the tunnel, run out into the fans that 145 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 3: you grew up you know? 146 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, It's been a great experience and I 147 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 2: really appreciate everybody here and it's been great to just 148 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 2: get back on my feed and hopefully we can go 149 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 2: out there and like I said, take it one play 150 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: at a time, march it down the field and get 151 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 2: some points. So it's been obviously a dream of mine 152 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,120 Speaker 2: to play here, and yeah, I'm looking forward to the 153 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,840 Speaker 2: next two much more. 154 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: How much more does when you come away from a 155 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:42,400 Speaker 1: Sunday and you lost the game, how much more does 156 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: it eat at you because it's the hometown team or 157 00:06:45,640 --> 00:06:47,800 Speaker 1: does it make any difference one way or the other? 158 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it definitely does. When you're I mean, 159 00:06:50,360 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 2: if you ask anybody that had a chance to play 160 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,360 Speaker 2: for their team, it's tough. You think about it for 161 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 2: one hundred and sixty eight hours, so until the next 162 00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 2: kickoff on Sunday. That's what you're thinking about. What could 163 00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880 Speaker 2: I have made or what plays didn't I make? Or 164 00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,919 Speaker 2: what plays did I make? And I try to just 165 00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 2: ask myself, did I put everything into it and give 166 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 2: the team a chance to win at the end of 167 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 2: the game. That's that's what I care about. I know 168 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 2: the guys feel the same way. So obviously those have 169 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 2: gone both ways this year, but that's kind of been 170 00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 2: the theme. But I think really it just comes abound, 171 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: comes down to your mindset at the end of the 172 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 2: game and finish in those plays. 173 00:07:23,400 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 1: Did you see a few years Oults proved that Alabama? 174 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know I was saying that in the locker room. 175 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:33,760 Speaker 2: But we'll see. Maybe next year they'll change it again. 176 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 2: And I mean, at the end of the day, somebody's 177 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 2: gonna be mad that they didn't make it, but I'm 178 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 2: just glad that uh yeah, it's still it's still cool. 179 00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 2: Thought it was interesting to see really just the team's 180 00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 2: playing out like their home stadiums is so crazy. Couldn't 181 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,880 Speaker 2: imagine an Alabama playoff game would be pretty well, so 182 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,320 Speaker 2: all right, cool thank you guy,
