So hanging in there. 11 00:00:25,880 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 5: You use the word frustration in the postgame press conference 12 00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 5: and even talked about you know, you were going to 13 00:00:30,840 --> 00:00:33,760 Speaker 5: feel the frustration on the long ride back. How do 14 00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 5: you deal with that frustration and make sure it doesn't 15 00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 5: drag you and your team down? 16 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you just kind of learned from That's 17 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:43,280 Speaker 2: the biggest thing you try to do. I mean, I 18 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 2: think everybody's frustrated. We're all frustrated. I think got to 19 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 2: to learn from it, you know, kind of coach yourself far, 20 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 2: listen to what the coaches are asking and thinking about 21 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 2: how we played. And then also at the same time, 22 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: uh dolt sholy from kind of some similar positive in 23 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,520 Speaker 2: the game. I think that's that's the biggest They were 24 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 2: doing some good things We're rin a lot of these 25 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 2: games to get down there and you know a few 26 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 2: players away from making this uh, you know, kind of 27 00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 2: these close games and not really close games or maybe 28 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: not yesterday, but there's turning points of the game where 29 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 2: we can turn into a close game and not think. 30 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 2: That's the things that I'm trying to focus on and 31 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:18,400 Speaker 2: trying to the guys focus on, because we're right there, 32 00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,000 Speaker 2: We're not far away. I just think some of these 33 00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,480 Speaker 2: you know, the balls not rolling our way right now, 34 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 2: and I think you know a part of its execution 35 00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: and parts just focus in and locking in little details 36 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,560 Speaker 2: in those moments. 37 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 Speaker 5: What do you do as a quarterback when you are 38 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 5: marching down the field, you guys are in the red 39 00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 5: zone basically, then you have a penalty that sets you back. 40 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 5: And that's been sort of a recurring theme at various 41 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:40,120 Speaker 5: times this year. What is your approach in the huddle 42 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:44,400 Speaker 5: in terms of trying to not allow that to derail 43 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,480 Speaker 5: some of that early momentum. How do you go about 44 00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,040 Speaker 5: trying to do that? 45 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's challenging. You know, it's unfortunate, especially you know 46 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,200 Speaker 2: the first drive and and that happens you get a 47 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,800 Speaker 2: first down on a third down and then the kind 48 00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 2: of derails that the drive installs out and end up 49 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: missing a field goal. Yes, huge, that's kind of demoralizing 50 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: for the kind of setting the tone for the game. 51 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: I think you think we got to move on. I 52 00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: put it past it. I think you have something else 53 00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:09,320 Speaker 2: we could improve on, you know, putting it past us 54 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: and not letting those kind of that missfield goal or 55 00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,640 Speaker 2: kind of stall out drive where put Joe in a tough 56 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:16,799 Speaker 2: spot at deeper field goal kind of kind of roll 57 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,360 Speaker 2: into the next few drives, or we were kind of 58 00:02:18,440 --> 00:02:20,080 Speaker 2: you know struggling the rest of the first half. I 59 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: think that that's been challenging for us. I feel that 60 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,799 Speaker 2: that that first drive, those first few players we've been 61 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 2: we've really been, you know, doing well, moving the football well, 62 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:30,959 Speaker 2: saying against the Colts, you know, been down there and 63 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:32,519 Speaker 2: I think even one more game, I free up what 64 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,799 Speaker 2: champion was. But we were starting out in the first drive. 65 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 2: I think we're doing a good jobs. So just find 66 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,799 Speaker 2: ways to keep it extending them and think those guys 67 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,080 Speaker 2: up front are fouling their butts off, and you know 68 00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 2: holding's happening. It's not the only things you can't really say, Hey, 69 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 2: don't hold those guys are fighting and trying to block 70 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: the guys, So it's really nothing on their part. They're 71 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 2: blocking their butts off and trying to you know, trying 72 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 2: to do the same thing everybody else doing XQ on 73 00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,120 Speaker 2: the play. So I think it's something you just try 74 00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:58,000 Speaker 2: to handle them. We've feen in a lot of situations 75 00:02:58,000 --> 00:02:59,840 Speaker 2: where backed up this is and that's when you've almost 76 00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:00,799 Speaker 2: been drake. 77 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,959 Speaker 4: Your teammate Kashawn Booty said that he noticed that Arizona 78 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,600 Speaker 4: was playing a lot of man early on in the game. 79 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:07,359 Speaker 4: I think he's called it disrespectful for them to be 80 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 4: doing that. Is that something that you also noticed And 81 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 4: do you think maybe could have attacked him in a 82 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:13,360 Speaker 4: different way earlier on in the game. 83 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, come, I think they were in man kind of 84 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,679 Speaker 2: bigger personnels on there. There They're playing some mammaries and 85 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: bigger personnels early on. And I really felt, like n 86 00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 2: Cole said our coach game, I really really getting to 87 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:27,519 Speaker 2: slow the game where we could open it up. I 88 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 2: think we were just trying to do kind of some 89 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: weird possessions. And has some big runs and sometimes and 90 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 2: has some kind of short short kind of you know 91 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: outlet passes that there kind of turned into big game. 92 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,120 Speaker 2: So it's kind of a weird, kind of not in 93 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:42,640 Speaker 2: the real flow of things where we kind of open 94 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:46,280 Speaker 2: it up. But now I think David P's, you know, 95 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: I think he's, like I said, never really gotten the 96 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 2: flow and really gave him a chance to kind of 97 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 2: get a roll and feel a good calling. 98 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 5: It talking about the game plan and you bring up 99 00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 5: a VP. I'm sure you're aware there's been a lot 100 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 5: of criticism of him. There was even a video during 101 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 5: the game that showed the Crafts questioning the play calling. 102 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 5: Are you aware of the criticism of Alex van Pelt 103 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 5: and that people are calling for his job? 104 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 2: No, sir, No, I think you know, try to you know, 105 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 2: stay away from you know, just three eleven, you know, 106 00:04:17,200 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 2: things like some some bad some bad media and you 107 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,279 Speaker 2: know people they're saying some not some nice things. Is 108 00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:26,919 Speaker 2: is is more more common than our record is not 109 00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 2: too great. But uh, you know, I think you know 110 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 2: av P what he's done for for for me this 111 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: year and what he's done for and my development has 112 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 2: been huge for me. And I've played a v P 113 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: and TC and quarterback room for help me prepare every 114 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 2: week and you know, still taking every week, you know, 115 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 2: even with our record, every week like it's you know, 116 00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 2: a big one for us, and I really respect that 117 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: and I appreciate for didn't really taking a chance of 118 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 2: me along with the rest of the other franchise. So 119 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 2: there's a lot of things to look forward to. And 120 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 2: you know, I've been a big fan of a p 121 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 2: and how he's handled my coach, and we're still this 122 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: is only our as a nice game together, so we're 123 00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 2: still figuring kind of each other out and kind of what, 124 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,719 Speaker 2: you know, hope, how he's calling and how much input 125 00:05:08,839 --> 00:05:10,800 Speaker 2: he wants me to kind of help him with. So 126 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:13,159 Speaker 2: it's been nice trying to find that and I think 127 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 2: you know, we're we're not far from it. 128 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 4: How much input would you say you do have? And 129 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 4: have you spoke to him, because you talked about this 130 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 4: after the game. Have you spoken to him about maybe 131 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 4: taking the ball yourself on fourth and short or third 132 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,279 Speaker 4: and short like that, It seemed like that was something 133 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 4: you are willing to do and kind of want to 134 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:30,880 Speaker 4: do if you talk to him about that at all. 135 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 2: Uh, yeah, I can see what with early on in 136 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 2: the season, I had a concussion. Obviously, you know, with 137 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: you know, our record, I think, you know, I can 138 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: see why they may not don't want to run me 139 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 2: in there and rum me, r me inside inside the tackles. 140 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 2: And I think that was definitely understandable. I think you 141 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,440 Speaker 2: don't gotta have it moments while we talk about got 142 00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: to have it, you know, I'm I'm fully up for 143 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 2: you know, whatever they asked me to do offensively, and 144 00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520 Speaker 2: they you know, me taking it can be an advantage 145 00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: for us. But same time, I kind of understand where 146 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,200 Speaker 2: they're coming from, and you kind of understand the kind 147 00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:06,360 Speaker 2: of the thought process behind it. So you know, there's 148 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: a lot of football hopefully left in my career, and 149 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:12,440 Speaker 2: I think I think, you know, kind of going to 150 00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:14,799 Speaker 2: them now and saying, hey, let's run some QV power 151 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 2: And is that really, you know, the smartest thing to do. 152 00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,239 Speaker 5: You mentioned that quarterback room with a v P and TC. 153 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 5: I had a question about Ben mcado. What is your 154 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,119 Speaker 5: relationship with Ben McAdoo and and what is his role 155 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 5: with this offense each week? 156 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah? I can't Yeah, I can't forget about bmc V. 157 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:34,640 Speaker 2: Max has been great.

So it's kind of 174 00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 2: just all kind of have their roles and kind of 175 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,880 Speaker 2: bounce off each other ideas. 176 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 4: The Quarterback Question of the Week brought to you by 177 00:07:21,960 --> 00:07:24,600 Speaker 4: Northeast Men's Health, the experts in treating men's sexual health 178 00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 4: with five New England offices or at Northeast Men's Health 179 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 4: dot Com. The question of the Week comes to is 180 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,119 Speaker 4: this week week from Will and Brookline Drake, and he asks, Drake, 181 00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:35,760 Speaker 4: what is one thing about the NFL that's much more 182 00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 4: different than you thought it would be when you were 183 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 4: in college. 184 00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 3: That's been a question before. On here much more different 185 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 3: than before. I'd say, uh, what's more different than before? 186 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,880 Speaker 1: Did we do this question already? After we did? I'm sorry, 187 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't remember. I don't. I don't know 188 00:07:56,280 --> 00:07:58,480 Speaker 1: if we did. But we got a new one each week, So. 189 00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: I think I answered this one last week. 190 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 4: Maybe no, last week it was your favorite concert? Last 191 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 4: week was const that was last week. 192 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 2: Two weeks ago. But yeah, I think something different from 193 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 2: from college in the NFL is I think you're playing 194 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,239 Speaker 2: with Yeah, you're playing against players that obviously grew up watching, 195 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 2: grew up fans of, and I grew up as a 196 00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: even with Budda Baker watching Budda Baker fly around, and 197 00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:28,760 Speaker 2: what a player of veterans in this league. But I 198 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: think just uh, I think the D lineman, I think 199 00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,400 Speaker 2: the D line are way different than college. I think 200 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,240 Speaker 2: they're they're bigger, faster and stronger, and they you know, 201 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 2: really didn't really want to take sat quarterbacks head off. 202 00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 2: But uh, I think I think that the best thing 203 00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: about the NFL is just kind of a kind of 204 00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 2: the whole I say, not the entertainment, but the whole 205 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 2: kind of nine arms that comes with the NFL. What 206 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 2: a you know, awesome league that you know, puts on 207 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,760 Speaker 2: cific fan bases. You see all the Patriots fans in 208 00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: Arizona and all that. And I think it's different from 209 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: college in a way of kind of mediately, I think 210 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 2: college is kind of more kind of college town places, 211 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: you know, and rival. Yes, I think kind of the 212 00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:12,360 Speaker 2: in the field is is pretty cool about how kind 213 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,880 Speaker 2: of internationals are coming. And I think one of the 214 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 2: best things about it is kind of where it's going 215 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 2: and kind of the fan base is pretty cool. 216 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 5: Speaking of college, we can't let you go without asking 217 00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,240 Speaker 5: about Bill Belichick is now officially the head coach at UNC. 218 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,680 Speaker 5: Your thoughts on what the hoodie will bring to Chapel Hill. 219 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm looking forward to seeing what's gonna be like, 220 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:36,040 Speaker 2: I think too, Hall of Fame coach, coach from Malma Mater, 221 00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:38,439 Speaker 2: you know, really nothing to complained about that.
