0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.080
<v Speaker 1>Does it feel to be getting your recognition?

0:00:04.040 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 2>Uh uh, what an honor. Very thankful obviously to everyone

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 2>who voted and all the support across the country. It's

0:00:12.880 --> 0:00:16.880
<v Speaker 2>so cool actually, and for all my teammates too, for

0:00:16.920 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 2>them to be recognized. It's sweet. We got a special team,

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 2>special unit of guys, and but to be listed up

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:28.280
<v Speaker 2>there with them and what an honor. So yeah, very

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 2>thankful for it. Yeah, yeah, I heard about that. It's crazy,

0:00:35.080 --> 0:00:38.199
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't know really what to say of that.

0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:40.040
<v Speaker 2>It's just it's cool, sort of just you know this

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:43.040
<v Speaker 2>last year, how crazy it's been, and then you know,

0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 2>just sort of see that and the support from everybody watching,

0:00:46.040 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 2>you know, just all of it, the whole story. And

0:00:48.600 --> 0:00:51.000
<v Speaker 2>in the last year, it's been a it's been a blessing.

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Season.

0:00:55.360 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean, I just feel like you get everybody's

0:00:57.120 --> 0:01:01.640
<v Speaker 2>best ball, you know, every buddies in tune to you know,

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 2>what they need to do at a high level, and

0:01:03.720 --> 0:01:08.399
<v Speaker 2>every drive, every play I mean really matters. Obviously that's

0:01:08.480 --> 0:01:10.640
<v Speaker 2>that should be the case for the regular season, but

0:01:10.760 --> 0:01:14.080
<v Speaker 2>postseason last year, I feel like I felt that, you know,

0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 2>I feel like, you know, even you know, our first

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 2>game against the Seahawks, It's like, man, we're getting their

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 2>best shot. It's a close game all the way up

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.240
<v Speaker 2>in the first half, and and then the Dallas games close.

0:01:23.440 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>Every possession matters, not turning the ball over, like all

0:01:26.280 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 2>the little things matter, and so I just feel like

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.959
<v Speaker 2>the intensity is just cranked up a little bit more.

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 2>Regular season, that should be the case, but sometimes, you know,

0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.479
<v Speaker 2>things happen and you can lose a couple of games

0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 2>and still make it to where you need to be.

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>But postseason there's very little room for air. So obviously

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:47.560
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna.

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:49.720
<v Speaker 3>Do whatever whatever the coach says and go along with

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 3>the program. Is there a small part of you to

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 3>take it there's a football game going on this sunny

0:01:54.560 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 3>and I'm not playing at it.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, a little bit. Just the initial conversation that we had,

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 2>it was like sort of, you know, for me, I

0:02:01.440 --> 0:02:03.240
<v Speaker 2>was like, man, I you know, this is all I

0:02:03.280 --> 0:02:05.919
<v Speaker 2>know is to prepare for the next game and get ready.

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And especially when we went out to practice and I

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:11.200
<v Speaker 2>saw my teammates doing that, you know, and every everyone

0:02:11.400 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 2>dressed out ready to go and and preparing for the rams.

0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:18.280
<v Speaker 2>And then I'm practicing but obviously not getting to go

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:20.800
<v Speaker 2>for the game. So a little weird in that sense,

0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.679
<v Speaker 2>but it's part of it. And obviously we're doing what's

0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.480
<v Speaker 2>best for the for the team and the organization, so

0:02:26.400 --> 0:02:28.560
<v Speaker 2>I always got to remember that and have that in mind.

0:02:28.600 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, just the competitor in me. Obviously I want

0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.240
<v Speaker 2>to play and you know, compete all the time. So

0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:37.080
<v Speaker 2>but that that's the case in the situation that we're in.

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 3>So will you be on Sunday like what you know,

0:02:40.520 --> 0:02:42.600
<v Speaker 3>you have the headphone on, you know, the game of Sam?

0:02:42.639 --> 0:02:44.840
<v Speaker 2>Like what what we will be kind of your or

0:02:44.880 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 2>what are you planning to do? Yeah, I mean just

0:02:47.240 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 2>be in tuned with the play calls and everything. You know.

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.959
<v Speaker 2>This week I've still gone about my process and stuff

0:02:52.000 --> 0:02:55.320
<v Speaker 2>with the install with the plays and everything, and I'm

0:02:55.320 --> 0:02:57.600
<v Speaker 2>gonna do my part to help out Sam and what

0:02:57.600 --> 0:02:59.359
<v Speaker 2>I'm seeing on the sideline, just like what he's done

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 2>all year for me. And so yeah, I'll have the

0:03:02.800 --> 0:03:05.359
<v Speaker 2>headset on and listening to all the plays and stuff

0:03:05.400 --> 0:03:08.040
<v Speaker 2>and uh, still going through my process in terms of

0:03:08.240 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 2>you know, I fellas out there, what would I be

0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 2>doing and and how I'm seeing the game and stuff

0:03:12.440 --> 0:03:14.200
<v Speaker 2>and try to help out Sam as best as I can,

0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 2>So that's what I'll be doing.

0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:17.560
<v Speaker 3>What are some of the things that he learned from

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.600
<v Speaker 3>Sam this year, whether it's during the game or meetings

0:03:20.680 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 3>or practices and stand.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:25.600
<v Speaker 2>Out, Yeah, I mean a lot. Obviously he's been a

0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:28.960
<v Speaker 2>guy who you know, has has been here in this

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 2>league for I think it's a sixth year now, and

0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 2>and just the process, the routine, how to study what

0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 2>he's seeing with concepts and how he's ran things before.

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 2>He's been able to pour into me and help me

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 2>out with that, and in meetings sort of just remind

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 2>me of little things within the plays, and especially before

0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 2>we get up before the game starts the night before

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>we go through all the plays he Brandon and I

0:03:56.240 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 2>and he just does a great job with just the

0:03:57.640 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 2>little things within the plays of hey, a reminder on

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:02.400
<v Speaker 2>the play, this is where we're going with this or that,

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:04.640
<v Speaker 2>and he brings up these little things that are huge

0:04:04.640 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 2>for me as a quarterback and so and then obviously

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 2>on the sideline and stuff, he's bringing up just good things,

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 2>tendencies that he's seen on film that they could possibly

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 2>do during the game and to not forget about. So

0:04:17.560 --> 0:04:20.479
<v Speaker 2>he's done a tremendous job and he's a very selfless guy.

0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 2>He puts the team first and and he's he's for

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.599
<v Speaker 2>the room, you know, not just about himself or anything

0:04:26.640 --> 0:04:28.839
<v Speaker 2>like that. D It is for the room and for

0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.239
<v Speaker 2>this organization. So very thankful to have him between drives.

0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.799
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a set routine? I see you talking

0:04:34.920 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 1>sometimes of Sam sometimes the.

0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.880
<v Speaker 3>Greasy is that kind of just something that you try

0:04:38.920 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 3>to do in between each drive to check in and recalibrate.

0:04:41.920 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 2>One hundred percent. Yeah, usually it's, you know, to start off,

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 2>it's greasy with what he's seeing and what we're trying

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:49.760
<v Speaker 2>to do. And then obviously the quarterbacks were all sitting

0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>next to each other, and after grease he's sort of

0:04:51.600 --> 0:04:54.840
<v Speaker 2>done talking. Sam and Brandon will chime in with what

0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.680
<v Speaker 2>they're seeing just with everything and sort of the mindset

0:04:58.720 --> 0:05:01.960
<v Speaker 2>and stuff, and and they're real about what's going on

0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.600
<v Speaker 2>with the situation is and where I should be and

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.039
<v Speaker 2>they sort of just again they remind me of things

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.599
<v Speaker 2>with what I can do because they've played the position,

0:05:10.640 --> 0:05:13.360
<v Speaker 2>they've been in those moments. So it's been sweet having

0:05:13.360 --> 0:05:16.520
<v Speaker 2>them with me and continue to go with them.

0:05:16.560 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>Sore losses.

0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 3>You've thrown nine picks and we talked about it before

0:05:21.200 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 3>about being aggressive mindset being.

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.160
<v Speaker 1>Smart with the football.

0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:28.799
<v Speaker 3>How do you lock yourself into that mindset of stay

0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 3>aggressive or take care of the ball.

0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:34.800
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's I'm just doing what what I'm coached. Our

0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>system is really good, we got really good players, and

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 2>so for me, I don't have to be superhero and

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>or Superman and and go out there and say I

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:45.120
<v Speaker 2>need to get it done right here and throw in

0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.520
<v Speaker 2>this tight window. I have to go throughout my process

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.880
<v Speaker 2>and what I'm coached and and we'll be successful. That's

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.960
<v Speaker 2>been the case. And the times where I haven't, I've

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 2>been too aggressive with things and stuff we've gotten in trouble,

0:05:58.160 --> 0:06:00.800
<v Speaker 2>turn the ball over, and then obviously those games we've

0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 2>we've come down to to lose in some of them.

0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 2>So that's something that I have to obviously always have

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:09.720
<v Speaker 2>in my mind. But at the same time, when I

0:06:09.760 --> 0:06:11.800
<v Speaker 2>see something and I'm confident about, I'm gonna let it rip.

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:14.360
<v Speaker 2>So I think that's sort of the fine line of it.

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 2>But playing within the system and how I'm coached is

0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 2>always good enough here.

0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:21.960
<v Speaker 1>So is there any concern you know about not playing

0:06:22.680 --> 0:06:26.120
<v Speaker 1>a meaningful snap for you know, three weeks and you

0:06:26.120 --> 0:06:28.359
<v Speaker 1>know if so how do you kind of, you know,

0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:30.560
<v Speaker 1>try to stay as much in with them as possible.

0:06:31.279 --> 0:06:34.600
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I mean that's something that I brought up to Kyle,

0:06:34.800 --> 0:06:37.520
<v Speaker 2>and you know, then he brought us some really good

0:06:37.520 --> 0:06:39.680
<v Speaker 2>points just in terms of, like, you know, the preseason,

0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 2>not getting a whole lot of reps and snaps, and

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.360
<v Speaker 2>then going into Pittsburgh and playing, you know, well enough

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:47.640
<v Speaker 2>to win, and saying with the bye week, coming back

0:06:47.680 --> 0:06:51.919
<v Speaker 2>and having a good, good performance against Jacksonville. So I

0:06:51.960 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 2>think I've done it, you know, this year in terms

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.640
<v Speaker 2>of having some rest and then coming in and playing.

0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 2>And so that's something that's feels good to go back

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.920
<v Speaker 2>and remind myself about. And not only that, like I'm

0:07:01.920 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 2>going to be practicing against really good defense obviously our

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.919
<v Speaker 2>guys for the next couple of weeks too, So and

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 2>it's not like I'm gonna be sitting on the couch

0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:11.080
<v Speaker 2>for the next couple of weeks doing absolutely nothing. You know,

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna be out here still getting good reps against

0:07:13.520 --> 0:07:15.880
<v Speaker 2>our defense, working on the little things I need to

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.600
<v Speaker 2>work on my footwork, my reads at practice, and you know,

0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.560
<v Speaker 2>whoever we end up playing in our first round, we'll

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:24.200
<v Speaker 2>be ready for it.

0:07:24.280 --> 0:07:30.280
<v Speaker 1>So you at least mildly lobby to play a little.

0:07:31.480 --> 0:07:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It was a comp It was just part of our conversation,

0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, just being real with all the situations and

0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>scenarios with this week and playing and stuff. So that's

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.679
<v Speaker 2>something that that we brought up and made the decision

0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.840
<v Speaker 2>after that. So thanks guys,
