So like, no one, like 67 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: none of us had an idea of what was going on. 68 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 5: So were you aware of just how divided it seems 69 00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:58,640 Speaker 5: like the cool quarterback conversation has been this offseason, and 70 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 5: did you and Tray or you and Sam or you 71 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:06,040 Speaker 5: and Brandon ever have any dialogue about that the outside world. 72 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 3: Honestly, No, you know, I had my surgery and then 73 00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,600 Speaker 3: you know, we brought in Sam, brought in Brandon, and 74 00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 3: really like we were all sort of going through our 75 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 3: own thing. Like Trey was obviously continuing to get healthy 76 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,840 Speaker 3: with his foot. Obviously I'm coming off surgery with my arm, 77 00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,560 Speaker 3: so I'm just focusing on my arm. No one really 78 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 3: knew like what camp was gonna look like or going 79 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,760 Speaker 3: into the season anything like that. It was all really 80 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,200 Speaker 3: up in the air. We all wanted to get healthy 81 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 3: first of all and then just compete from there. And 82 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 3: I feel like that was all of our mindsets. There 83 00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480 Speaker 3: was no you know, talk about, hey, they're saying this 84 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 3: or that in the media. We don't talk about any 85 00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:44,839 Speaker 3: of that. It's strictly ball for us, and we all 86 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: pull for each other and push each other every single day. 87 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 3: So that's sort of just how it went. Well. 88 00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: We were drafted, it was Trey one, Suidfeld two U three, 89 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 2: Jimmy throwing on a side field that it was Trey 90 00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,360 Speaker 2: and Jimmy and you, and then it was me and 91 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 2: it hitting you just how volatile this all has been 92 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:05,320 Speaker 2: in the last year or so. 93 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: I mean, that's pretty that's a lot of stuff in 94 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:08,400 Speaker 1: about a year. 95 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's just sort of goes to show you, man, 96 00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:15,000 Speaker 3: like you're in the NFL. You know, the positions and 97 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,560 Speaker 3: how everything looks, the depth chart like it. It all 98 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,560 Speaker 3: can change overnight, you know, just obviously depending on what 99 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 3: happens and situations and stuff. But you know, for me, 100 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,760 Speaker 3: it's like, how can I be present? How can I 101 00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 3: be where I'm at not trying to get wrapped up 102 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 3: and oh he's first, second, third, whatever. You know, the 103 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:33,360 Speaker 3: more you think about that kind of stuff, the more 104 00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,560 Speaker 3: can consume you and affect how you play. And so 105 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 3: for me this past year, man, it's been do what 106 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 3: I'm told from the coaches and then you know, everything 107 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,520 Speaker 3: else happens, how it ends up happening, and uh, that's 108 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,000 Speaker 3: just sort of how I look at it. But yeah, 109 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: it is wild, sort of like welcome to the NFL 110 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: kind of thing when we ask you a version of. 111 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 4: This every time you're up there. 112 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:52,919 Speaker 1: But now that you're through preseason, how would you just 113 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 1: describe where you're at right now as we head toward. 114 00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:56,039 Speaker 4: The regular season. 115 00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel good, obviously excited to get rolling for 116 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,159 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh and to have everyone you know, be able to 117 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: play on the field at the same time, you know, 118 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 3: with Christian, George dbo Ba, like everyone have trend out 119 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 3: there as well. So it's uh something that we're all 120 00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 3: looking forward to, really excited about. It felt like camp 121 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,119 Speaker 3: has been you know, pretty solid last couple of weeks, 122 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,200 Speaker 3: and you know, we're like I said, man, we're ready, 123 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:25,120 Speaker 3: ready to get this thing rolling.
