Man, everyone in this 0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:52.280 locker room has his back, and so everyone was, you know, 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:54.840 tapping him up, hugging him, loving on him and everything. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.160 But uh, to sort of see that, you know, obviously, 0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.600 it's tough seeing one of your your buddies, you know, leave, 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:03.520 But at the same time, we're all excited that man, 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.880 he's got a good opportunity ahead of him, and he 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:08.160 was in great spirits. So he was going on when 0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:08.760 he wasn't. 0:02:08.520 --> 0:02:10.079 At practice the other day. 0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:12.680 Did you understand, you know, was it the news getting 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.360 like way Kyle was repped that kind of was of 0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:16.359 hazard maybe the. 0:02:16.280 --> 0:02:19.600 Way things go happen. Yeah, I mean, no one, we 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.000 honestly had no idea. You know, he wasn't at practice, 0:02:22.040 --> 0:02:23.720 and we're like, okay, you know, where's he at kind 0:02:23.760 --> 0:02:25.480 of thing, and and uh grease, he said, you know, 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:27.239 he was just taking some time to think things over 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.919 and whatnot after he had heard the decision that Sam 0:02:30.040 --> 0:02:33.760 was going to be the second string quarterback. And you know, 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:35.440 so all of us were like, okay, you know, we 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.639 gotta practice, we gotta continue to do what we're doing. 0:02:37.720 --> 0:02:41.480 Everything will happen how it needs to happen. After and 0:02:41.520 --> 0:02:43.600 then you know, Tray was back in meetings, ready to roll, 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:45.720 expected to play in the game, and then the news 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:47.240 broke literally when we were all in the locker room 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.320 getting ready for the game. So like, no one, like 0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.000 none of us had an idea of what was going on. 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:55.640 So were you aware of just how divided it seems 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:58.640 like the cool quarterback conversation has been this offseason, and 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.079 did you and Tray or you and Sam or you 0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:06.040 and Brandon ever have any dialogue about that the outside world. 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:10.560 Honestly, No, you know, I had my surgery and then 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:14.600 you know, we brought in Sam, brought in Brandon, and 0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:16.320 really like we were all sort of going through our 0:03:16.360 --> 0:03:19.160 own thing. Like Trey was obviously continuing to get healthy 0:03:19.240 --> 0:03:21.840 with his foot. Obviously I'm coming off surgery with my arm, 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.560 so I'm just focusing on my arm. No one really 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.600 knew like what camp was gonna look like or going 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.760 into the season anything like that. It was all really 0:03:29.840 --> 0:03:32.200 up in the air. We all wanted to get healthy 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.880 first of all and then just compete from there. And 0:03:35.440 --> 0:03:36.960 I feel like that was all of our mindsets. There 0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.480 was no you know, talk about, hey, they're saying this 0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.520 or that in the media. We don't talk about any 0:03:42.560 --> 0:03:44.839 of that. It's strictly ball for us, and we all 0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:48.440 pull for each other and push each other every single day. 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:50.280 So that's sort of just how it went. Well. 0:03:50.440 --> 0:03:55.280 We were drafted, it was Trey one, Suidfeld two U three, 0:03:55.600 --> 0:03:58.480 Jimmy throwing on a side field that it was Trey 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:00.360 and Jimmy and you, and then it was me and 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:04.400 it hitting you just how volatile this all has been 0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:05.320 in the last year or so. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:07.720 I mean, that's pretty that's a lot of stuff in 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:08.400 about a year. 0:04:08.680 --> 0:04:11.120 Yeah, I mean it's just sort of goes to show you, man, 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:15.000 like you're in the NFL. You know, the positions and 0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:17.560 how everything looks, the depth chart like it. It all 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.560 can change overnight, you know, just obviously depending on what 0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:24.240 happens and situations and stuff. But you know, for me, 0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:25.760 it's like, how can I be present? How can I 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:27.760 be where I'm at not trying to get wrapped up 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:31.760 and oh he's first, second, third, whatever. You know, the 0:04:31.880 --> 0:04:33.360 more you think about that kind of stuff, the more 0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.560 can consume you and affect how you play. And so 0:04:35.720 --> 0:04:38.120 for me this past year, man, it's been do what 0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:40.440 I'm told from the coaches and then you know, everything 0:04:40.440 --> 0:04:43.520 else happens, how it ends up happening, and uh, that's 0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.000 just sort of how I look at it. But yeah, 0:04:45.040 --> 0:04:47.560 it is wild, sort of like welcome to the NFL 0:04:47.640 --> 0:04:50.000 kind of thing when we ask you a version of. 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:50.840 This every time you're up there. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.919 But now that you're through preseason, how would you just 0:04:52.960 --> 0:04:55.440 describe where you're at right now as we head toward. 0:04:55.320 --> 0:04:56.039 The regular season. 0:04:56.400 --> 0:05:00.279 Yeah, I feel good, obviously excited to get rolling for 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:03.159 Pittsburgh and to have everyone you know, be able to 0:05:03.160 --> 0:05:04.760 play on the field at the same time, you know, 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:09.080 with Christian, George dbo Ba, like everyone have trend out 0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.240 there as well. So it's uh something that we're all 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.080 looking forward to, really excited about. It felt like camp 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.119 has been you know, pretty solid last couple of weeks, 0:05:16.120 --> 0:05:19.200 and you know, we're like I said, man, we're ready, 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:25.120 ready to get this thing rolling. Yeah, I do say anything. 0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:26.599 Like in terms of wishing the team. 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:27.680 Well and how you guys would do. 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.320 Yeah, he said, he's obviously gonna be pulling for us 0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.320 and watching every step of the way. But you know, 0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:35.880 it was more like us being appreciative of everything that 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.240 he's done for us. So yeah, that's the conversations that 0:05:39.279 --> 0:05:39.599 we had. 0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.920 Do you feel any survivor remorse this time last year 0:05:43.960 --> 0:05:47.120 it was Trey's job. Has heard that you end up 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:49.040 taking over, have a great run, and then you get 0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:52.320 hurt the playoffs and come back you're the man. Do 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:57.240 you feel any remorse that a year ago he was 0:05:57.279 --> 0:05:58.720 the man in Mountain's gone. 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.920 I mean, at the end of the day, I try 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:02.719 to just do my job, do what I'm told. You know, 0:06:02.760 --> 0:06:05.640 as a quarterback, it's not like I come in here 0:06:05.640 --> 0:06:07.640 and go, all right, I'm gonna try to beat this 0:06:07.720 --> 0:06:10.240 guy out. This guy It's has nothing to do with that. 0:06:10.320 --> 0:06:12.240 It has everything to do with you know. This is 0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.320 what I've been called to do in life as a quarterback. 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.039 I'm gonna come in and do my job. And you know, 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.279 some situations happened. It sucks how you know, Jimmy got hurt, 0:06:20.279 --> 0:06:23.720 Trey got hurt, and things happened like that, But at 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.120 the same time, like it's it's how the NFL is, 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.400 and so no hard feelings. I love Trey and I 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:32.960 want nothing but the best for them.
