00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, how you doing right over the boat drink me

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: and Joe Milton today after they had some big plays.

3
00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:10,440
Speaker 1: What is it about, like, you know, being a veteran

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,959
Speaker 1: in the room that kind of makes you want to

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: go and just congratulate.

6
00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:13,840
Speaker 2: Them in those moments.

7
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it's times for, you know, you

8
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: know obviously you know, going out there and competing and

9
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: having fun and and you know, being being fans of

10
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: your teammates and uh, you know, and obviously instilling that

11
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: confidence in each other. And you know, when when gods

12
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: go out there and do the right thing, they should

13
00:00:26,960 --> 00:00:30,360
Speaker 1: be congratulated. So uh, you know, just obviously just uh,

14
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: you know, and instilling that in each other.

15
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: How have you seen them spell up just throughout this

16
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 2: like time.

17
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's been three days, but you know each day's

18
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 1: gotten better. Uh, you know, obviously trying our best to

19
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: take the classroom to the field, and I think those

20
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: guys are doing a good job of it, and uh,

21
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,239
Speaker 1: you know as a room, we're getting better. It looks like,

22
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,960
Speaker 1: you know, steady presence out there is that kind of

23
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: what your goal is to be here as that starting quarterback.

24
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: Talking with David Andrews, a lot of football, and like

25
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 2: SO said, you've been encouraging with everybody else. What's that

26
00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: like for you? So far?

27
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: Just going out there being the same person every day,

28
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: you know, that's all I can be, you know, trying

29
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:04,399
Speaker 1: to my hearts to go out there and keep betting better.

30
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 2: You know.

31
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: Obviously, like I said, like a couple of days ago,

32
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: he's not been in this offense before, so kind of

33
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: like trying to uh, you know, fast track a couple

34
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 1: of guys on certain things that I know that this

35
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: offense is looking for on certain plays and things like that.

36
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 2: But you know, just trying to be the same guy

37
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 2: every day between the four year in the room. So far, Oh,

38
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: it's been really good. Uh.

39
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: You know, you know it's no evident that we're all

40
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: competing against each other, but you know, like I said,

41
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:28,800
Speaker 1: it's in the room the other day. It's like, let's

42
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: go out there and compete against each other. But also

43
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,000
Speaker 1: like when we do something right, let's let's not be

44
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: too far ahead that we can't, you know, cheer for

45
00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:36,080
Speaker 1: the next person.

46
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 2: You know, this league is hard enough, you know, so

47
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 2: might as well go out there and have fun. How

48
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 2: much performance through free practices.

49
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: I say, We've got We've gotten better each day. You know,

50
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I think today I think we only had one pre

51
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: snap penalty, one or two pre snap penalties. Uh So

52
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 1: those things like that, you know, it's just like trying

53
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: to clean up the operation and things like that. It's

54
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a work in progress, but each day

55
00:01:56,680 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: we've gotten better. Probably it comes to this time of

56
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: year and how much are you just trying to get

57
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 1: through progressions, you know, get to the checkdown versus like

58
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 1: actually just you know, throwing the ball and singing it

59
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,440
Speaker 1: out there. I'm trying to do all of that, you know,

60
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: I think I think that's part of it. You know,

61
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: it's going out there and obviously seeing what what.

62
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: I can do and what I can't do.

63
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: And uh but you know it's all about rhythm and

64
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: time and and that's what this process is forced. It's

65
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: trying to run the offense the right way and get

66
00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: to the right guys.

67
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: Ball. Seems like downfield completion has been pretty hard to

68
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,960
Speaker 2: come by. What's a challenge at this defense percent when

69
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: you are trying to push the ball out?

70
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: Man, they're so talented, they're they're fast, they're long. You

71
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that can play a lot

72
00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: of different positions. Uh, a lot of guys with a

73
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of range, you know. And as a defense, they

74
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:39,960
Speaker 1: present a lot of different looks for us, and uh,

75
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, obviously that presents a lot of different you know,

76
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:44,640
Speaker 1: pre snap looks for us and things like that.

77
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 2: Damn, so much be going on. But uh but uh, yeah,

78
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 2: it's been tough.

79
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: You know, I think they've been doing a really good

80
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: job of limiting those big plays for us. How a

81
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: lot for you having a rep on offense maybe an

82
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: eleven on eleven and saying that's it, It's perfect, That's

83
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: what we wanted to do.

84
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: Is it the majority of the time yet?

85
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: Or I would say it's pretty balanced right now. Like

86
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: I said, our defense presents a lot of different looks.

87
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: You know, it's a very unique defense. Not a lot

88
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,919
Speaker 1: every defense in the league runs our like defense like ours.

89
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 1: So you know, we're getting a lot of different looks.

90
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: And you know, a couple of day, a couple of

91
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: plays today, you know, we got exactly what we wanted

92
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: and it's a couple of plays we did it. So uh,

93
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,160
Speaker 1: you know, the good the good part about office is

94
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 1: you got to find ways to adapt throughout the play

95
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: and get to the right person or you know, and

96
00:03:25,680 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: survive the play to get to the next play. You know,

97
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,880
Speaker 1: I think some of that is gonna be We're gonna

98
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: see plays that might not end with.

99
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,119
Speaker 2: A good result. Oh yeah, for sure.

100
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's any offense though, you know, I mean,

101
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: I like, right now is the time that we're not

102
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: game planning against our defense.

103
00:03:39,160 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 2: So you know, all the players aren't gonna look great.

104
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, as long as when we go

105
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: back into the room and we can say, like, hey,

106
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: we got to get better here and here and and

107
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page of understanding why this is

108
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: the bad look for this play and a good look

109
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: for this player, I think that's a success. It's a

110
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: teammate and an observer if a if a play doesn't

111
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: go the way the team is hoping for.

112
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 2: As you're talking about now. With Drake in particular, how

113
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: have you seen him handle those moments? Uh, I mean

114
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: like a professional.

115
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: I mean today, you know, he throws a pick, the

116
00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: next play, throws the completion, you know, like those are

117
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: those are like the learning and courage and the you know,

118
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: the I guess the NFL moments that you need out

119
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: here you know, and that's what I told them, Like, man,

120
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 1: that's that's the game right there. That was your game today,

121
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,680
Speaker 1: you know, and you you went out there and won

122
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: to day. So just little things like that that you

123
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: can go out there and do every day.

124
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: I mean, use my language, but I'm.

125
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 1: Doing it myself, you know, after bad plays, trying to

126
00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: bounce back and make a good play.

127
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 2: But yeah, parking back.

128
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,039
Speaker 1: At all to being here at training him like you

129
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,440
Speaker 1: were as a rookie and thinking about what they're going through,

130
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: what you went through when you were on this.

131
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,240
Speaker 2: Field for the first time.

132
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like I told somebody the other day, man,

133
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: I still feel like I'm a rookie, like coming back here.

134
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: It just I mean, obviously I've just been in this office.

135
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: I know what I'm doing a little bit more. But uh,

136
00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: you know that that that rookie feeling and still those

137
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: nerves though, that anxious knicks to go out there and

138
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: show everybody while I belong here.

139
00:04:55,400 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: You know, from what you've experienced around Gerad, how does

140
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:04,039
Speaker 2: the team or the environment reflect what you know of him? Yeah?

141
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:06,280
Speaker 1: I think I think if you've watched his practice, you know,

142
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: we're we're a reflection of his energy. You know, I

143
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: think today was very upbeat.

144
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 2: Everybody. Everybody was, you know, flying around, getting after it. Uh.

145
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,599
Speaker 1: You know, when it was it was about competition. And

146
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: from what I've know know about him and have heard

147
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,040
Speaker 1: from him before I got here, you know, that's what

148
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,760
Speaker 1: That's what he was as a player. And you know,

149
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: these are the tough days of camp and we're grinding

150
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: it out and and you know, and he's he's telling

151
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,400
Speaker 1: like he's pushing us to like, hey, just like, let's

152
00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: keep getting better each day, each day, each day. And

153
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, and I know as a head coach, that's

154
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,200
Speaker 1: what he's going.

155
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: Out here trying to do. Kobe bring to the quarterback room.

156
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 2: You know, he's played the position.
