1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,160 Speaker 1: All right, how y'all doing good? 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,560 Speaker 2: For sure? I know you've moved on from the last game, 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,160 Speaker 2: and this trampish just saying it seems like weeks ago, 4 00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 2: since it was a Thursday game, But how much feedback 5 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,200 Speaker 2: did you get for your performance that night? So many 6 00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:16,959 Speaker 2: people talking about how tough you are and the things 7 00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:19,360 Speaker 2: you've battled through, teammates, media, everything. 8 00:00:19,520 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think everybody did. Honestly, it was a tough game. 9 00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 1: Any overtime game in the NFL, you're going to have 10 00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:28,560 Speaker 1: guys who are playing more plays, and the defense did 11 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: a great job and I was really just proud of 12 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,640 Speaker 1: the team. And that's part of football is playing tough. 13 00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,199 Speaker 1: And the tough part is, you know, getting back and 14 00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:38,760 Speaker 1: having to do it the next week. So we had 15 00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: a couple of days and at the end of the day, 16 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: all these games are going to hopefully come down to 17 00:00:43,840 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: one score, and you just got to be tough and 18 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,319 Speaker 1: mentally physically and put your body through it and then 19 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:50,000 Speaker 1: keep playing. 20 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,920 Speaker 3: Question about your took this in. I mean, you had 21 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:55,920 Speaker 3: some spurts in the game where it looks like you 22 00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:58,800 Speaker 3: were tired. It looked like you were hurting or dry heaving, 23 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,680 Speaker 3: but you were fighting through, like all the illments that 24 00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 3: you were dealing with, did you learn anything about yourself 25 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 3: thick game? Did anything happen where you like, I've unlocked 26 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,400 Speaker 3: something in my own confidence about myself after the game. 27 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you're saying. I just think that 28 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 1: every game is different, and and that game I knew 29 00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 1: was gonna take a lot of toughness and just taking 30 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:21,760 Speaker 1: it one play at a time. And I believe if 31 00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:23,760 Speaker 1: you can protect yourself, that you should be out there 32 00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 1: and playing. And a lot of guys are working through stuff. 33 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,440 Speaker 1: That's that's the NFL. And I've learned that you just 34 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,959 Speaker 1: got to be able to go out there and protect 35 00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,919 Speaker 1: yourself and play. And yeah, I think that's our team's 36 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: DNA right now, and we got to continue that. Just 37 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:39,200 Speaker 1: because you do it for one one week or two 38 00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,759 Speaker 1: weeks or three or whatever. You got to be able 39 00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: to not be complacent with your effort and toughness. And 40 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: that's something that you can control, to be honest, and 41 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: and that's that's a variable that you can control. So 42 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: I always focus on that. The results take care of themselves, 43 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: but you can be tough and have a good attitude 44 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 1: and work through the mental and physical stuff, and that's 45 00:01:58,760 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: all you can ask for. 46 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 3: Really an eventful Thursday. Can you take us through what 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 3: happened to begin the day in your hotel room. 48 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, there was just some police activity and stuff and 49 00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 1: I don't really want to talk about it, and just yeah, 50 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 1: it was before the game or whatever, and I'm kind 51 00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:18,600 Speaker 1: of just moved on to this week. 52 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 2: How did you spend the weekend kind of recovering and 53 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 2: how do you. 54 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:24,600 Speaker 1: Feel right now? Yeah? It's, uh, every game you have 55 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: a plan for for what you need to fix and 56 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: what you need to get better at, not only on 57 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 1: the field but off the field with your with your 58 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: body and how you feel. So for me, just getting 59 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 1: treatment every day and work in and we have a 60 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,959 Speaker 1: good plan in place, and I feel confident and I'm 61 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,720 Speaker 1: just working through it day by day and and that's 62 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:42,440 Speaker 1: that's all you can do. 63 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 2: For your oblique entry on the last snap, And if so, 64 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 2: do you think you could have continued to play? 65 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was definitely in the game, and I don't 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: know that was the last snap, so I guess you 67 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 1: didn't have to find out. But yeah, I think, like 68 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 1: I said, we got a plan in place and just 69 00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: got to work through it and make sure you can 70 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 1: protect yourself right now help wise working through it. I think, 71 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: like I said, got a plan with the training staff 72 00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 1: and been getting treatment every day and trying to do 73 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,000 Speaker 1: everything I can, sleep, eat, do the little things. And 74 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: everyone else is doing the same thing. So that's that's 75 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 1: NFL football. 76 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 2: It's a bit of a difficulty with throwing right now. 77 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 2: Just during a portion of practice, we got to watch 78 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 2: and notice you weren't doing it. 79 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, well Mick, Mick Lombardi got to go out there 80 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: and play quarterbacks, so he looked pretty good. 81 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: Because of the oblique that just kind of resting. 82 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I was just like just trying to save, save, 83 00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,720 Speaker 1: save some throws and you know there's a lot of 84 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: volume out there and at the end of the day, 85 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,040 Speaker 1: got to be ready for Sunday, And like I said, 86 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,680 Speaker 1: we got a plan, so taking it day by day. 87 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,160 Speaker 3: When it goes to Adrian Martinez, coach Salasta, if you 88 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 3: spend a little bit of time with him, then you 89 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: be impressed by him. Just we see you guys out 90 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: there to Chad and Latin sometimes yea by for sure, 91 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:06,440 Speaker 3: what's the relationship between you and Martinez VI. So the 92 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,960 Speaker 3: type of person he is, player of preparation. What is 93 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 3: it like from your perspective. 94 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's just he's really cool, just laid 95 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: back dude and doesn't let a lot of get to him. 96 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: And I feel like he has had an interesting journey 97 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:22,200 Speaker 1: and played really well and obviously he's done a great job. 98 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 1: Like just having him in the room, he's just a 99 00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: cool vibe, so really appreciate him. We've got to know 100 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: each other and gotten close, so he's the same guy 101 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 1: every day. And those are the guys you want in 102 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: your quarterback room. That makes it easy for Brock and 103 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: I and everybody and the coaches. So when you have 104 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: a quarterback room that's unified and together, like you can 105 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: go places, and when you don't, you don't really go anywhere. 106 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: So you mentioned that you have a plan that you're 107 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:46,359 Speaker 1: working with the training stuff on. 108 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,560 Speaker 2: Do you feel if the game was today, would you 109 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 2: be comfortable playing? 110 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 1: Yeah? I mean the game's not today, right, so I 111 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: don't really do like the theoretical questions, but definitely feel 112 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: like I have a good plan in place and the 113 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,320 Speaker 1: games on Sunday and we'll see how I feel when 114 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: we get there. 115 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,679 Speaker 2: Sure, Nick, he probably saw the clip from Nick Saban 116 00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 2: over the weekend telling everybody that he used to call 117 00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,440 Speaker 2: you mac and rowe because you would blow up and 118 00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 2: he didn't throw pay make a perfect play and because 119 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,919 Speaker 2: of your tennis background, there is that still is that 120 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: still part of you in terms of the you know, 121 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 2: making a throat. 122 00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: A Yeah, I told I need to call him because 123 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: I thought we graduated from that. He brings that one 124 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,599 Speaker 1: up every year. I'm like, Coach Savan, like get a 125 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: new joke or something. But next time I see him, 126 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 1: I'll rip him just like he used to rip me. 127 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: But no, I definitely like had to work on that 128 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: and he actually helped me a lot with that. And 129 00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:42,640 Speaker 1: hope the next time he talks about it, he'll talk 130 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:45,279 Speaker 1: about the progress I made from my freshman to my 131 00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 1: sophomore year just working with different people on staff, doctors 132 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,560 Speaker 1: and whatnot, and just meeting with people and having these 133 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 1: conversations about how can I get my mental game better 134 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,480 Speaker 1: and really just playing each play, one play at a time. 135 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: That's what he preached. But he had a there's a 136 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 1: guy named He's the Wizard Alanie Rosen. He worked with 137 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 1: him at Michigan State, so I got to meet with 138 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 1: him and that kind of helped me really get my 139 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,040 Speaker 1: mental game going and kind of just play, to play 140 00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: one play at a time and not show emotion like that. 141 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: And I really graduated from that, so he can stop 142 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:18,000 Speaker 1: saying that. 143 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: Then he thought that the tennis it's transferable in terms 144 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 2: of things you do in the pocket. 145 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, is that true? 146 00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:27,280 Speaker 2: Think? 147 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 3: Yeah? 148 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 1: I think so. I mean I didn't play like, like 149 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,279 Speaker 1: super competitively. I was pretty competitive, but my sister played 150 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,280 Speaker 1: in college and my dad obviously in the pro. So, like, 151 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,000 Speaker 1: I mean, the serve is very similar to the throwing motion, 152 00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: and like my dad used to like have me warm 153 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 1: up with a tennis racket because like you're doing the 154 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: same motion, and then your footwork is very similar because 155 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: you could be playing on clay and it's you know, 156 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: you're sliding around, or you can play on hard court 157 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: and you got to be very firm with your footing. 158 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 1: So and then obviously running to the ball, like you 159 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 1: have to have hand eye coordination. So it's all reaction based. 160 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,240 Speaker 1: And I do feel like I haven't played tennis in 161 00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: a while, but I can go out there and hit 162 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,159 Speaker 1: the ball and I do feel like it helps me 163 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:06,839 Speaker 1: with my feet. 164 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,039 Speaker 2: Give football my mayores. When you're sleeping and if so, 165 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:10,120 Speaker 2: could you give an example of one? 166 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: What not? Really not anymore, at least maybe back back 167 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,080 Speaker 1: in the day, but right now I'm good. 168 00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 2: Going back to coach Shavan. Do you ever see him 169 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,240 Speaker 2: on college game day and he's light and funny And 170 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 2: do you ever think like, where was this when I 171 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 2: was your player? 172 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,920 Speaker 1: Yeah? No, he was light and funny with me. I 173 00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: think you just have to be able to give him 174 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: something back, you know, if you if you're if you 175 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,560 Speaker 1: act scared to coach Saban, then he knows like he 176 00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,120 Speaker 1: can be mean and stuff. But I did like his 177 00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: white suit the other night. That was pretty nice. So 178 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:42,720 Speaker 1: hopefully he keeps wearing some good suits. That's where I 179 00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 1: get my suits from. So all right, thanks
