1
00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:03,440
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Good about you?

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 2: What are your thoughts about a game in Pittsburgh.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:07,920
Speaker 1: I'm excited.

4
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 3: You know, it's a good opportunity for us to go

5
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,479
Speaker 3: out there and you know, play as a team, play

6
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:15,720
Speaker 3: calmentary football, and you know, start playing well as an offense.

7
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: So I'm excited. What did you learn from Sunday and

8
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: what can you take it to Thursday now with that

9
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 1: next next start.

10
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, there was some you know, some mysteries by me,

11
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 3: some misthrows by me. There are some things that you know,

12
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,120
Speaker 3: I can you know, better ball placement, things like that.

13
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: So just been working on that stuff as much as

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,159
Speaker 3: possible today and tomorrow before we head off and try

15
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 3: to get ready for Thursday on such a short week.

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 3: I mean, I guess so because you don't get as

17
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 3: much physical reps as more mental. But we try as

18
00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: much as possible, like before or after walk throughs or

19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: whatever we do, to try to just go out there

20
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 3: and throw as much as possible, whether it's just walking through,

21
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 3: just standing there, just you know, just try to throw

22
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 3: the ball around.

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 4: You a horse? Are you sick at all?

24
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,920
Speaker 1: I got a horse.

25
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 3: After the game, I was screaming and everything, trying to

26
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 3: make sure everybody can hear me out there.

27
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 4: When you look back into something, you felt like you

28
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 4: get better upon the event things. Absolutely you should expect something.

29
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 3: I would say like the operation as a whole was

30
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,480
Speaker 3: pretty well by the offense. You know, we never really had,

31
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 3: you know, any questions about the plays or anything like that.

32
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 3: We got in the huddle, we broke the huddle, we

33
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,480
Speaker 3: got to line, and you know, we were rolling. So

34
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 3: I think the whole operation, of course, you know, I

35
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 3: think there was two or three instances where you know,

36
00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 3: we can fix and move it on to the next game.

37
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: But other than that, I think it was pretty solid.

38
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 5: If the pre scamp operation really how much more comfortable

39
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,959
Speaker 5: are you confident?

40
00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:45,280
Speaker 2: Are you with alerts, making the pre snap reads and

41
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 2: adjustments that you need to do.

42
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 4: There's a lot of the player at the quarterback in

43
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 4: the offense.

44
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I get more and more comfortable

45
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 3: every week the more I watch film of the opponent.

46
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 3: That also helps, you know, just the preparation throughout the

47
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 3: week and understanding, you know why we're learning while we're

48
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 3: killing took plays like that. That always helps. So you know,

49
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 3: this short week, you know, that's the only thing we

50
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 3: have to do now is just mental reps. So that's

51
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 3: what I'm really diving into right now.

52
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: Basically, just in the second half of the game, you

53
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,959
Speaker 2: took a lot of shots, specifically to Devonte Parker.

54
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 4: I was one of your terms of that connection.

55
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: Is that the kind of thing where if you see

56
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: them one on one, you have the freedom to take

57
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 2: those opportunities or were there some times where you felt

58
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 2: maybe you locked in on them when there were other

59
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: opportunities on other.

60
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: Parts of the field.

61
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was something that going into halftime that we

62
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 3: talked about that the second half we wanted to push

63
00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 3: the ball down the field a little bit, and you know,

64
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,639
Speaker 3: we have some guys that can you know, get those

65
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 3: fifty to fifty balls, and you know, DP is one

66
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 3: of those guys where you know, you kind of put

67
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 3: it up anywhere and he has opportunity to go up

68
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 3: and get it. So does Taekwon, and so does really

69
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 3: everybody else. So I think that was kind of our mindset.

70
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: We just wanted to, you know, attack down the field

71
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 3: going into the second half, and you know, kind of

72
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 3: like you said, if it's one on one, you know,

73
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,680
Speaker 3: I kind of like my guy better than their guy.

74
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 3: So I'm just let them go get it. You actually,

75
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 3: coaches you know, made it pretty clear. But I'll let him,

76
00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 3: you know, announce it to everybody that's you know, private

77
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 3: right now, and whenever he announces it, that's that's with him.

78
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 4: What you've learned about yourself this season.

79
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: Well, you know a lot, I guess a lot of

80
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 3: things that I can grow on, a lot of things

81
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: that you know, I can improve on. But you know,

82
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:22,720
Speaker 3: like I would like to say around here, is taking

83
00:03:22,720 --> 00:03:25,240
Speaker 3: it day by day. And that's just you know, it's

84
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 3: very cliche to say that, but you know, it's every

85
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 3: day there's something that you can get better at, whether

86
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 3: it's you know, mental things or you know, physical things,

87
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 3: throwing and stuff like that, and there's always ways to

88
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 3: get better.

89
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,120
Speaker 1: And that's kind of how I do it.

90
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 4: Sunday, it was your first start of the season. How

91
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 4: much did the.

92
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,760
Speaker 2: Opportunity mean to you, especially given you know, with get

93
00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 2: him not being here on cut day cut down day.

94
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it was you know, it's been a

95
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 3: long ride, of course, so to be out there was

96
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 3: an amazing opportunity. You know, we didn't get the you know,

97
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,640
Speaker 3: the result that we wanted, so hopefully we can you know,

98
00:03:57,800 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 3: learn from it, grow from it, and going into Thursday,

99
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 3: everything we can, you know, do everything I can to

100
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 3: put the team in the best possible situation, you know,

101
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 3: to win the game.

102
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 2: I say that you have terms of your multiple offers,

103
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: getting this opportunity to start interesting those feelings.

104
00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 5: You kind of made that right decision.

105
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 4: To stick around.

106
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, this is the place I wanted to be.

107
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: I wanted to play for ob I wanted to play

108
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 3: for Coach Belichick, and I wanted to play with the

109
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 3: you know, the guys that I've built a relationship with over.

110
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,039
Speaker 1: The last you know, year and a half two years.

111
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: So this is where I wanted to be.

112
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: It was probably frustration might might be the right horrible

113
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 4: where are you at with you? Guys? Feel like you

114
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: do a lot of good things the games.

115
00:04:35,240 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 2: Color did and that just breaking that barrier is starting

116
00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 2: to knock on put the volley into and get points.

117
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: How close do you.

118
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 4: Feel that guys are as needed to do?

119
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're close. We talk about that a lot.

120
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 3: You know, it's just one or two things you know

121
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,000
Speaker 3: that you know that happened that you know, kind of

122
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 3: haltered from you from scoring and we just got to

123
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,560
Speaker 3: fix those one or two things, and once we do that,

124
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 3: I feel like we'll be able to start putting points

125
00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:59,159
Speaker 3: on the board.

126
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 5: Really, obviously, you guys want to go in and do

127
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,000
Speaker 5: what's best for the team, But how do you look

128
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 5: at these next few weeks just for you guys with

129
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 5: the future in what you need for that?

130
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:10,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.

131
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 3: Nobody really, you know, ask any questions when you start winning.

132
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 3: So as long as we just go out there and

133
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,799
Speaker 3: you know, do the best we can and put points

134
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 3: on the board as far as an offense and start

135
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 3: winning as a team, I think you know that will

136
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 3: all kind of handle itself.

137
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 4: Really.

138
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,600
Speaker 5: The fact that you're up at the podium today and

139
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 5: there's not as much uncertainty from a public perspective there

140
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 5: who's the guy right now?

141
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 4: How much does that kind of help you just embrace

142
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 4: that role?

143
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that helps you know, Like I said,

144
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 3: I'll wait for the official announcement from coach, but you know,

145
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 3: I try to prepare every week, you know, like I'm

146
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 3: the guy, so nothing different from me.

147
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 5: How much does it help you improve that from start

148
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 5: to finish. In the last game, you runder center the

149
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 5: whole time, and now going into this week of preparation

150
00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 5: and meetings, film practice, with time you guys have for

151
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 5: the for Pittsburgh that you're the guy that's leading the

152
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 5: offense quarterback.

153
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,719
Speaker 3: Now, yeah, I mean, of course it's different, but you know,

154
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 3: you gotta you gotta approach every week. You know that

155
00:06:08,279 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 3: coach always says everybody has to be ready to play.

156
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: So you have to be ready no matter what. You

157
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: gotta prepare like you're gonna be thrown in there, whether

158
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 3: it's the second player, whether it's the last play. So

159
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:19,920
Speaker 3: you know, that's kind of the mentality that we have here,

160
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 3: and you know, just no matter what's going on, you

161
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 3: just prepare play.

162
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 4: What time was it when you first started looking at

163
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 4: the Steelers?

164
00:06:28,640 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: Probably Sunday night is when I kind of looked back

165
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: at their Cardinals game eleven, I mean thirty, probably like

166
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 1: four thirty in the morning, I don't know. Sometime after

167
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: our game playing there in that atmosphere.

168
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Dad was talking about it through a game in Pittsburgh

169
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 2: Thursday before the ASP.

170
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean that's you know, I was able to

171
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:53,320
Speaker 1: be there last year.

172
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:54,760
Speaker 3: Of course I was an active last year, so I

173
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: got to, you know, kind of see it from outside view.

174
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 1: I kind of like a fan view, and it was

175
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: pretty awesome. You know, that Field. I don't know what

176
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:08,240
Speaker 1: was that actressure, Hinfield. I mean, it's pretty legendary.

177
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:12,560
Speaker 3: So the Steelers organization is an awesome organization. They've been

178
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 3: good for a long time. So to be able to

179
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:16,600
Speaker 3: play them at their places, you know, it's pretty unreal.

180
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 4: Those conversations like with Bill O'Brien on the sideline during

181
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:20,480
Speaker 4: the game.

182
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:22,000
Speaker 5: I know you said yesterday on the radio that your

183
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 5: relationship with him has grown a lot over these last

184
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 5: couple of months.

185
00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:27,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's you know, it's kind of back

186
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 3: and forth or whatever he sees, he lets me know.

187
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 3: And then you know, if I'm seeing something on the

188
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 3: field that you know, if they've showed it on film

189
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 3: or haven't shown it on film, I'm kind of giving

190
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: him that, you know, just throwing each other off, you know,

191
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 3: throwing stuff off each other's brains and just you know,

192
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 3: most majority of the time, it's you know, after the series.

193
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: We're looking at the iPads.

194
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 3: You know, if I miss a read or miss up

195
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 3: you know, miss a coverage, you know, he shows me

196
00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 3: like what I can look at better or what I

197
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,640
Speaker 3: can you know, what tendencies that they're showing that can

198
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: kind of help me pre snap. So it's just kind

199
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 3: of dissecting the previous.

200
00:07:57,840 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: Drive and then kind of moving on and what we're

201
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: gonna do then.

202
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 5: Extra, What do you feel like your your comfort level

203
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 5: is throwing too?

204
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 4: Juju Parker?

205
00:08:06,040 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 5: You know some of those guys that maybe you didn't

206
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: have as many reps in the summer.

207
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: At times, I'm comfortable with those guys one hundred.

208
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 3: You know, they're great players, and you know it makes

209
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: it easy for a guy, you know, for a quarterback.

210
00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 3: You just put it really anywhere and those guys are

211
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: going to, you know, make a play on it. So

212
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 3: you know, those guys are good receivers and I'm excited

213
00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:25,880
Speaker 3: to be, you know, be thrown to those guys.

214
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 5: I do you go put a handle with the pressure

215
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 5: and not making something too big where that you know,

216
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 5: it becomes a hindrance.

217
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:39,559
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, control what you can control. So it's

218
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 3: you know, that's what we say around here. I guess,

219
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 3: you know, I don't. I'm not really big into those things.

220
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 3: Like I'm really cool, calm and collected. That's kind of

221
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,760
Speaker 3: how you know, my dad, you know, brought me up

222
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 3: time my mom brought me up, so I don't really

223
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 3: try to dive into you know, trying to overwhelm myself

224
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 3: or anything like that.

225
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 1: I try to control what I can control, and whatever

226
00:08:58,400 --> 00:08:59,840
Speaker 1: my read is, I try to do my read. And

227
00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: it's something happens and I, you know, make a mistake.

228
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 1: I try to go back and learn from it. You know.

229
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,559
Speaker 3: I try to really not dive into it and ride

230
00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,920
Speaker 3: the roller coaster. I just try to stay you know,

231
00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: a level.

232
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 1: Thank thank thank you all
