Speaker 1: How much did that playoff game, facing this defense once
Speaker 1: already when you got out there tonight, how much did
Speaker 1: it feel like, you know, you weren't overwhelmed it all
Speaker 1: by the speed and whatever the Cowboys threw at you.
Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, I think it did help for sure. Just
Speaker 2: watching the film and just our scheme going into this game,
Speaker 2: the mindset going into this game, I just felt like
Speaker 2: it was it was just better overall for myself, you know,
Speaker 2: you know the last game, just the pass rush where
Speaker 2: we were at in the season, and it was a
Speaker 2: great defense. They were you know, solid and what they did.
Speaker 2: You know, I don't know if that maybe got me
Speaker 2: off edge a little bit or what. But this game,
Speaker 2: you know, just the mindset going into it, knowing what
Speaker 2: I'm looking at. I know I've played this defense before.
Speaker 2: You know, it helped for sure. But you know, the
Speaker 2: play calls were great. Guys made plays all around me.
Speaker 2: Defense was great. So it wasn't just me.
Speaker 3: So on the fleet licker, obviously, George's is wide open
Speaker 3: to that make it any more difficult for you just
Speaker 3: knowing that I just can't miss this. Are those passes
Speaker 3: sometimes more difficult than.
Speaker 4: The tit windows?
Speaker 2: Yeah, they can be just you sometimes can overthink it,
Speaker 2: you know, do I put it on them, do I
Speaker 2: lead it in downfield or what? So I think in
Speaker 2: that case, I was about to get hit, So it
Speaker 2: was actually nice knowing that I just got to get
Speaker 2: the ball to George. You know, I'm about to take
Speaker 2: a hit. So George did a great job the whole
Speaker 2: The play was great. Play was a great draw up.
Speaker 2: We're excited we got to finally call it. So it
Speaker 2: was good.
Speaker 5: Obviously a pretty good offensive proof here.
Speaker 4: Any other point in your football career where you felt
Speaker 4: distancing with an offense that you guys can do almost anything.
Speaker 2: To do with. Man, Yeah, I don't know if I've
Speaker 2: ever felt, you know, like feeling this good just with
Speaker 2: the offense and everything as a whole. I can't really
Speaker 2: think of the time. There's there's some good games. You know,
Speaker 2: you played back to back to back games in college,
Speaker 2: but you know, right now, yeah, it feels like everyone's
Speaker 2: just on a mission. Man, Like the mindset is right
Speaker 2: where it needs to. Everyone so detailed in what they do.
Speaker 2: The play calls are great. So it's like all I
Speaker 2: gotta do is go out there, do my job and
Speaker 2: and that's it. And just play ball. So obviously we
Speaker 2: feel good where we're at, but there's still areas we
Speaker 2: can still get better at.
Speaker 4: So you were on and you almost had to resist
Speaker 4: calling too many passes, which kind is different for him.
Speaker 4: I think, did you feel like you were on very
Speaker 4: start of this game?
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, he was doing a good job as
Speaker 2: calm plays where I could just you know, take a
Speaker 2: quick drop, get the ball out, get into a rhythm,
Speaker 2: and you know, so obviously for me, I'm always like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm willing to throw every down, but you know, just
Speaker 2: in terms of having a balance offense, run the ball,
Speaker 2: that's what we have to do. And so yeah, I
Speaker 2: felt good early on. I actually felt like, you know,
Speaker 2: I missed a couple of throws just with BA, some
Speaker 2: opportunity balls early on that I wish I had back,
Speaker 2: But outside of that, got into a rhythm and we
Speaker 2: were able to roll.
Speaker 4: So yeah, significance of this is big picture in terms
Speaker 4: of beating I mean, everybody thinks it's Dallas, Philadelphia and
Speaker 4: San Francisco in the NFC. You just beat them by
Speaker 4: the biggest margin ever in the.
Speaker 3: In the rivalry.
Speaker 4: What's the significance of that dominating Full size of ball
Speaker 4: winning big on scoreboards.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, we're just taking one day at a time,
Speaker 2: one game at a time. We're not trying to get
Speaker 2: caught up with what people are saying or how other
Speaker 2: teams are looking. It's a it's a week by week
Speaker 2: kind of thing for us. You know, it's any given,
Speaker 2: any given Sunday, you know, you come out, another team
Speaker 2: is ready to roll. They're gonna give you, give you
Speaker 2: your best shot. So it's not just a given that
Speaker 2: these are going to be the teams at the end.
Speaker 2: So we know that we have a lot of you know,
Speaker 2: I feel like experience and and veterans to be able
Speaker 2: to say that ain't that ain't true. So we gotta,
Speaker 2: you know, just keep our heads down and continue to work.
Speaker 2: And uh, it's football, man, anything can happen. So we're
Speaker 2: just we're leaving it at that.
Speaker 5: Half maybe half joking Thursday, you know, George catch. But
Speaker 5: I mean, is it nice that you know, guys like
Speaker 5: George are gonna be like ticked off, you know, or
Speaker 5: open when they have one catch for nine yards? I mean,
Speaker 5: it doesn't just help you as a quarterback with a
Speaker 5: lot of drama like that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like we said before, you know, this
Speaker 2: team doesn't have you know, any ego. Everyone wants to win.
Speaker 2: You know, I feel like everyone knows that they're good,
Speaker 2: and so it's gonna be just a matter of time
Speaker 2: with their game. You know, this this game George had,
Speaker 2: you know, the touchdowns, he had opportunities, but still Debo
Speaker 2: b a Christian. Everyone's able to contribute JJ and so
Speaker 2: you know their time comes and so they know that.
Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, we put winning first.
Speaker 2: That's what we want to do. And you know, there's
Speaker 2: no you know, selfish times where you know, guys are
Speaker 2: coming up to me saying, hey, man, I'm open, you
Speaker 2: got to throw it to me or anything like that.
Speaker 2: So I'm very lucky and fortunate for that, and just
Speaker 2: keep keep it rolling.
Speaker 3: Before that, you lock out the noise about what other
Speaker 3: people are saying out side of the building.
Speaker 2: And Nick was just in here and said, he thinks
Speaker 2: you're playing like one of the best quarterback in the league.
Speaker 4: So how does it feel to hear that from your teammate.
Speaker 2: Especially a team like Yeah, you know, it means a
Speaker 2: lot obviously, but you know, for me, I'm not trying
Speaker 2: to get caught up and what other people are saying.
Speaker 2: You know, there's still stuff on film where I can
Speaker 2: get better. And you know, Kyle's real with me about that,
Speaker 2: Greasey is real about it. All the quarterbacks in the
Speaker 2: room were like, man, that we hold ourselves to a standard,
Speaker 2: and so that's what we're trying to strive for. And
Speaker 2: so that's where I'm at with that. I want to
Speaker 2: continue to just keep building these guys up around me
Speaker 2: and you know, just keep winning.
Speaker 4: So you said the beginningble in the playoff game, was
Speaker 4: there a measure that this is an element of this
Speaker 4: that was more important to.
Speaker 1: Make sure that you kind of I can find what
Speaker 1: you said one of your tougher games this week, like
Speaker 1: motivations from that.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, obviously watching the film from last year,
Speaker 2: it's like, man, I want to be better. You know
Speaker 2: that's really every game. But you know, going back to
Speaker 2: last year, it's like, all right, I'm gonna play a
Speaker 2: lot of the same guys on defense, a lot of
Speaker 2: the like really the same scheme, and so how you know,
Speaker 2: from my self, you know, sort of cann of, it's
Speaker 2: another challenge for me, you know, you know with this scheme,
Speaker 2: I want to be better than I was last time.
Speaker 2: But was that my my only motivation and my only
Speaker 2: you know goal this week? No, man, I was just
Speaker 2: doing what I was asked. Knew that the game would
Speaker 2: come to me over time. You just got to get
Speaker 2: into a rhythm. Hit the open guys, you know, do
Speaker 2: my part as a quarterback. Don't try to force stuff
Speaker 2: and be a superhero. And that's that. So learned from
Speaker 2: the game last year, moved on and just played this week.
Speaker 5: You see things from defenses that you hadn't seen before.
Speaker 3: You know, are you still seeing that you.
Speaker 1: Know things for the first time or maybe times that
Speaker 1: the defenses try to surprise you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like you know the defense, you know,
Speaker 2: going into the game, they'll have their base scheme and whatnot,
Speaker 2: and then you know, they always there's always a couple
Speaker 2: of switch ups within every single team that they tried
Speaker 2: to do. Dallas, you know, did a couple you know,
Speaker 2: two high shells tonight, more than I think they've done
Speaker 2: on film. And so for us, it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: you get you go into a game thinking they're gonna
Speaker 2: do this, but obviously got some stuff schemed up as
Speaker 2: well that we have to be ready for. So that's
Speaker 2: something that we talk you know about on the sideline
Speaker 2: and adjusting. Kyle does a good job with you know,
Speaker 2: adjusting some plays and stuff for that. So that's how
Speaker 2: we go about it.
Speaker 5: What goes go through your mind when the coach fools you,
Speaker 5: you said, hey, you did a great job.
Speaker 1: That's it for to day.
Speaker 4: What happens if what's sitting in your mind after that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, and obviously it feels good just to know that
Speaker 2: we're up big and whatnot and all right, like we're
Speaker 2: gonna put in another quarterback, you know, to finish out
Speaker 2: the game and stuff. So yeah, it feels good. But
Speaker 2: at the same time, man, like that was this week.
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta get ready for next week. The
Speaker 2: minute you get caught up and thinking that you're doing
Speaker 2: all great and stuff, you can get humbled real quick.
Speaker 2: So it's where I'm at. You gotta get ready for
Speaker 2: the brownsive line job. Yeah, yeah, the O line did
Speaker 2: a great job. Hugged them all after the game, and
Speaker 2: they're the real dudes. They get all they should get
Speaker 2: all the glory, man, So that then the same possible.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys,
