1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: Jackson on the win in your first NFL start.

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:05,840
Speaker 2: What a game it was for you. You had a

3
00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 2: rushing touchdown, your first drive, the shovel pass.

4
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: The theo took a lot of hits.

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 2: How are you feeling, both mentally and physically. No, it's

6
00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 2: just a football game.

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:17,160
Speaker 3: I think that's just the best way to describe it.

8
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:23,000
Speaker 3: You know, obviously this experience was a special one, you know,

9
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 3: being my first one, and I'm just grateful to have

10
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 3: the guys around me that I had. You know, I

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,280
Speaker 3: obviously want to give a big shout out to Russ.

12
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 3: You know, I know that this week probably wasn't the

13
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 3: easiest thing, but he handled it like a professional and

14
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: just was a mentor for me, So you obviously just

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 3: have a ton of respect for him.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 2: And it goes for Jamis as well.

17
00:00:45,479 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: Just getting me prepared for this week, and you know,

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,240
Speaker 3: really just proud of the guys being able to battle

19
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 3: through some adversity throughout the game, and you know it's

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,000
Speaker 3: not always gonna be the cleanest, but I was just

21
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 3: happy that we were able to come out with the one.

22
00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 2: You feel physically so good, Okay.

23
00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 3: Jackson, Can you talk a little bit about that play

24
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 3: to theo the one that that picked up the first down,

25
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 3: just how it came together in the moment, what you're seeing,

26
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 3: what's he's saying in the backstory to it. Yeah, that

27
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 3: one was really cool because it was, you know, something

28
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 3: that we discussed kind of a change up and adjustment

29
00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,919
Speaker 3: on the route. He's really just supposed to keep running

30
00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: all the way through, and you know, I told him,

31
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: you know, just from like film prep and stuff, you know,

32
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 3: you see that middle open, just sit it.

33
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 2: Down for me.

34
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:28,759
Speaker 3: And so it was kind of just like a cool

35
00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 3: moment to see that happen in a big situation like that,

36
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 3: and you know, we gave each other a little look

37
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 3: and was really excited to to, you know, obviously make

38
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 3: that play with them.

39
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 2: Jax.

40
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 1: Were you surprised at all that they put the ball

41
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: up and they put the trust in you to throw

42
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,080
Speaker 1: in that situation?

43
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: Uh?

44
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,320
Speaker 3: No, I wasn't, because you know, I wanted the ball

45
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 3: in my hand, you know, not when I think back

46
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,120
Speaker 3: on the game, you know, obviously haven't watched the tape,

47
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 3: but you know there's mistakes that I made that I

48
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 3: want back in the passing game and I want to

49
00:01:58,200 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 3: be cleaner.

50
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 2: So I was I was grateful. You know, they did

51
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 2: have the confidence in me to you.

52
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 3: Know, give me the ball there, and I just knew

53
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: that situation, you know, the guys out there with me, that.

54
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: We were going to make a play. Your emobility also

55
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,960
Speaker 2: got you out of some tough situations today. Would you

56
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 2: say that the way you play today is kind of

57
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: a the way you like to balance it out in

58
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,800
Speaker 2: terms of using your legs and also.

59
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I would like to be a little bit,

60
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 3: you know, more efficient in the passing game, you know,

61
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,040
Speaker 3: creating a little bit you know, a few more expulsive plays.

62
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:29,760
Speaker 3: But you know, they had a really good plan for us,

63
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: so you got to give them a ton of credit.

64
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 3: And they've played, you know, really good defense these past

65
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:36,480
Speaker 3: three weeks and we knew that coming into this game.

66
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 3: And you know, you know, the vertical passing game down

67
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 3: the field just really just wasn't there because of how

68
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 3: they played. And you know, they're very disciplined, so you know,

69
00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,080
Speaker 3: we were able to take some things underneath and you know,

70
00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,800
Speaker 3: things like a little sticky in coverage, you know, just

71
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 3: try to make some players in my legs.

72
00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: So how will does offense change for you?

73
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: And overall, if Leak's injury is long term, is heared.

74
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,679
Speaker 3: Obviously, prayers to him, you know, I don't we don't.

75
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 3: I don't think that we know exactly what happened. So

76
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: you know, he's gonna be one of my first phone

77
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: calls to check on him. But Malik is I've said

78
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: it like, Malik's one of one. So when you have

79
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: a guy like that on the field, you have all

80
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 3: the confidence in the world that he can just be

81
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 3: a dominant game changer. But I thought, you know, you know,

82
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 3: from that moment, you know, obviously it's really hard scene.

83
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 3: You know, one of your best friends go down, but

84
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 3: we were able to to rally and I thought guys

85
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:32,959
Speaker 3: made some good plays. But you know, obviously just prayers

86
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,840
Speaker 3: to him, and yeah, what was going.

87
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: Through your mind and that as you watched it.

88
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,480
Speaker 1: So I'm just on Malik still, what was going through

89
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: your mind in that situation?

90
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 3: You know, obviously just it hurts, you know, because you know,

91
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 3: it's the worst part of this game is the injuries.

92
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: So you know, you hate to see you know, your teammate,

93
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 3: your brother go down and look in pain like that.

94
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 3: But you know, I'm just gonna be praying for him,

95
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: and you know, I got his back to it all.

96
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: You like, you know what it's like to pay What

97
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: was going through your head as you're standing on the sidelines,

98
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 3: is the clomb expires and you realize you're gonna be

99
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: your first time?

100
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean.

101
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 3: I was just waiting for it to hit zero because

102
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 3: you know, obviously that Dallas game, you know, I in

103
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 3: my mind, I thought we were gonna have that one.

104
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,800
Speaker 3: So I was just staring at the clock and I

105
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 3: was waiting for it to countdown. But you know, John

106
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 3: running was right next to me, and that was a

107
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 3: cool moment to have with him, And yeah, it was

108
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 3: just you know, special to get the first one and

109
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 3: it is just start.

110
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 2: You know what it's like to as a quarterback to

111
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 2: get handed and get hit.

112
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,919
Speaker 3: Could you tell that all from what your guys on

113
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 3: defense were doing to justin and you know how important

114
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:45,599
Speaker 3: was that and getting resulting?

115
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought our defense, you know, carried us through

116
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: this game.

117
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 3: I thought our defense are offensive line you know, played

118
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 3: at you know, a really elite level. And you know

119
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 3: there's a quarterback when when there's pressure like that and

120
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 3: there's guys always in the backfield no matter who you are,

121
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: the game just speeds up and you know, they have

122
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: a really good team up there and have played really good,

123
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 3: so you know, our d line knew that they had

124
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 3: to be play at a dominant level for us to win.

125
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:15,160
Speaker 3: And just you know, really credit to those guys for

126
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 3: stepping up and making a lot of plays.

127
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 2: With Davil after the game is clearing very emotionally. You

128
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: have to know this was a big decision for him

129
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 2: to go to you. So did that you feel how

130
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 2: much this meant to him to get this?

131
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, like I said that, we've been really

132
00:05:30,400 --> 00:05:33,719
Speaker 3: close in these past weeks, and it's hard, you know

133
00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 3: when when you feel like you should win, you have

134
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:39,800
Speaker 3: playing of opportunities to win and there's just plays where

135
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 3: you know.

136
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 2: We just didn't make.

137
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, I think everybody just in the

138
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 3: locker room feel that way too, Like we know that

139
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 3: we have really good players on our team. So I

140
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 3: think it was just, you know, this is just a

141
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 3: big confidence builder for us as a team to you know,

142
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 3: have a win like this where it wasn't easy, it

143
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 3: wasn't clean, and we had a fight, you know, just

144
00:05:59,160 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 3: like the other weeks, but this we finished. So you know,

145
00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 3: I thought our coaches did a really good job and

146
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 3: you know, obviously Dave was just excited to get a win.

147
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320
Speaker 2: That was that in braces like and what do what

148
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 2: do you say to like what would you take him in? Yeah?

149
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 2: I mean me and Daves just have a special relationship.

150
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 3: You know, he's he's the guy that believed in me

151
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 3: from day one, And you know, I think it does

152
00:06:21,120 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 3: say a lot. You know that he made the decision

153
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 3: and have the confidence in me, and you know even

154
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 3: just giving me the ball and those situations on that

155
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 3: third down to make a place. So, you know, I

156
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 3: think that when I know that, when you have a

157
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 3: coach who you know, you know has your back, you know,

158
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go out there and do everything I can

159
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: for him to to win.

161
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: coming into the stadium, we were a lot of young

162
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: kids and your jersey cap one backwards Anakin sky play.

163
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,240
Speaker 1: What does it mean for you to see young kids

164
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 1: now emulating.

165
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:56,760
Speaker 2: You so early in your life.

166
00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 3: It's it's really cool because you know I was one

167
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:04,479
Speaker 3: of those kids, you know, you know, like Russell Wilson was,

168
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 3: you know, the guy who you know I had, you know,

169
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,200
Speaker 3: one of his first pairs of cleats when they came out,

170
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 3: you know, and you know, when you grow up and

171
00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:16,120
Speaker 3: there's guys that you look up to, you try to

172
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 3: emulate things, you know in the backyard when you're just

173
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 3: playing around, you know, with your friends.

174
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 2: So uh, it's cool to see that.

175
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 3: You know, it definitely gives me a feeling of you know,

176
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: you just want to play really good and make people

177
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 3: happy and and obviously win because you know, there's a

178
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 3: lot of people who you know, take time out of

179
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 3: their day and and take the sacrifice. You know, the

180
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 3: tickets are not always the cheapest, and you know they're

181
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: here to support us, and I think it just means

182
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:42,280
Speaker 3: a lot. You know, it definitely means a lot to

183
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 3: me to see that support, and you know, it makes

184
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:44,880
Speaker 3: you definitely go harder.

185
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: What are you thinking when you were forced off the

186
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: field for the concussion examining.

187
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:52,080
Speaker 2: I was pissed.

188
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to see anybody try to

189
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 3: sprint seventy yards as hard as you can and then

190
00:07:59,840 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 3: you gotta run back and.

191
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,080
Speaker 2: Get ready for the next play like you're going to

192
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,000
Speaker 2: be tired. So that's all it was. I was just tired,

193
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:06,800
Speaker 2: and obviously you just I never want to come out

194
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 2: of the game. Yeah, Scout's a baller, you know.

195
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 3: I just think that we play very similar, like mentality wise,

196
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:16,520
Speaker 3: I need to be smarter in the open field.

197
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: You're taking some hits and whatnot.

198
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,239
Speaker 3: But uh, when you have a guy like that who

199
00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 3: you know, just kind of brings the juice every single

200
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 3: day and gives it his all, the guys around him

201
00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:27,400
Speaker 3: want to play harder. So and then off the field,

202
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 3: you know, we just have a really cool connection.

203
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 2: The hamstring.

204
00:08:31,280 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 3: How much did you have to fight through pain or

205
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 3: adjust your game like mid game.

206
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:36,320
Speaker 2: Playing through it.

207
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 3: I feel like I really had to adjust my game.

208
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 3: It's just kind of football like, you know, you're gonna

209
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:43,559
Speaker 3: take a little bit of a step or you know something,

210
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:44,839
Speaker 3: You're not going to feel perfect.

211
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: Throughout a game.

212
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 3: And I'll be just I'll take this week and recovery

213
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 3: and I'll be ready to go.

214
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: H
