1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: Up, y'all girl dad, Yeah, yeah, exciting, how exciting?

2
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:09,879
Speaker 2: Really excited. Yeah. Obviously first kid, so that's exciting, and

3
00:00:09,880 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 2: then having a girl. It's new territory. So we're really

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 2: really excited doing January. So it's the last training camp

5
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,439
Speaker 2: without a baby, so I'm gonna enjoy the more calmness

6
00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,239
Speaker 2: that there is now. I'm sure then what it'll be

7
00:00:22,320 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: like next year, but now we're really we're really pumped

8
00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:26,000
Speaker 2: and excited for our first kid.

9
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: That great timing.

10
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 1: When you look at playoffs super like, you know.

11
00:00:30,360 --> 00:00:33,840
Speaker 2: We'll make it work. Not everything always goes according to plan, right,

12
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 2: I'm just tight. We signed out, we sat down to

13
00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,959
Speaker 2: sign autographs and the go get stretched out.

14
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 1: When you look at uh shot comes committed five hundred

15
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: million dollars in the last four months to you, Josh

16
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and and Tyson. What does that say about maybe the

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: talent you guys have and where you guys are headed

18
00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: in the confidence he has and you guys can.

19
00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: Get him there? Yeah, I mean it shows the belief

20
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 2: that he has in us, and obviously that feels really

21
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: good as players to have that from the owner and

22
00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 2: from the organization, and you know, you talk to us

23
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 2: as a team the other night, and obviously won't go

24
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: into everything he said, but just you know, the expectations

25
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 2: are high and they should be around here, especially when

26
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,319
Speaker 2: he's putting you know, his money's time, all these things

27
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 2: behind it and backing it and really putting a lot

28
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: into it. He has high expectations for us. We have

29
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: high expectations for ourselves, and we expect to win and

30
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: times now. You know, we've kind of been we've we've

31
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 2: been lingering around a little bit the last couple of years.

32
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: But this is our opportunity when you take advantage of it.

33
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: Does this year feel different? Year three in duck system here,

34
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 2: fear in the league? Anything feel different about this year?

35
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 2: I think you feel more comfortable every year, you know,

36
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 2: just the schedule, understanding what training camp's like, the whole

37
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: off season program. Having the same system now for the

38
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: third year, that feels good. You know, some guys are

39
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 2: in different systems every year and that's tough. In my

40
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 2: first two years, obviously there there was a change. So

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,760
Speaker 2: it feels good being able to carry things over. And

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: also in the off season you can work on little things,

43
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: go more in depth, dive into some things that maybe

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 2: you don't do well, personal game or in the offense

45
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 2: that that we're gonna change, whether it's press coming to

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 2: me about certain things or or whatever. You know, you

47
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 2: can work on some of those things that you want

48
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,679
Speaker 2: to change moving forward instead of trying to learn a

49
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 2: new system that can be tough and obviously set you

50
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: back a little bit. So that feels good to be

51
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 2: in the same offense for the third year and then

52
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: just kind of understanding how it goes being a veteran

53
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: now being around for a little bit obviously and more comfortable.

54
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: But training camp is still training camp. You know, it's

55
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:28,519
Speaker 2: still a grind and you got to you got to

56
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 2: make the most out of it. You gotta make the

57
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: day's count because it flies by and you got to

58
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:31,960
Speaker 2: get ready for the season.

59
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 1: This team being in sort of like prove it mode again.

60
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 2: You know last year, you guys were the team that

61
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,160
Speaker 2: everyone was looking at.

62
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 1: Okay, they're the class of the AFC and South, and

63
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: now it's you know, Houston's getting all that love.

64
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: Do you kind of like being in the role of

65
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 2: having to prove it again? Yeah, I mean it's like

66
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 2: twofold because obviously that means you probably didn't do as

67
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 2: much as you wanted to do the year before. But

68
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 2: you know, I think it's it's always fun being on

69
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: this side of it where you want to prove it

70
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,239
Speaker 2: everybody wrong and you have a lot of people doubting you,

71
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,880
Speaker 2: and maybe there's not as many expectations from the outside.

72
00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, it doesn't really matter. At the end of

73
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: the day. You still got to go perform, and it

74
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,200
Speaker 2: matters really what goes on in this building and what

75
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: we do out here getting ready for the season, and

76
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:17,760
Speaker 2: really the attitude of mindset that we have moving forward,

77
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 2: that's really what matters. But I will say it is

78
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 2: fun kind of being the overlooked team, and you do

79
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 2: kind of enjoy that and you want to prove people wrong.

80
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,160
Speaker 2: But hopefully moving forward there's a lot of people saying

81
00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: that that we're good or we're great or whatever, saying

82
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 2: good things, and we'll have to there'll be another challenge

83
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,359
Speaker 2: of ignoring that because that means we had a good

84
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 2: year and we did what we were supposed to do.

85
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: So obviously that's not where we're at this coming into

86
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: this season, but it doesn't really matter. It's just a

87
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: different set of challenges. But yeah, I think it is

88
00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: nice kind of having that getting overlooked a little bit.

89
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 2: How much is Christian Kirk meant to you as a

90
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 2: quarterback but also as a friend. Yeah, we're really close,

91
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 2: really good friend you know, with him and Ozzie and

92
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 2: you know, obviously my wife and Marissa, we're all we're

93
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 2: all really tight. So I think having him obvily the

94
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 2: play and the position he plays, the communication between a

95
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 2: slot receiver like him and myself the quarterback, like that's

96
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: important on the field and that chemistry you see out there,

97
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 2: but I think it also ties into our relationship off

98
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 2: the field and that's helped us be better on the field.

99
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: And just being able to trust him. You know, he's

100
00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,960
Speaker 2: a pro. He does everything the right way ever since

101
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,160
Speaker 2: he's been here, so I've always respected that and we've

102
00:04:21,240 --> 00:04:23,239
Speaker 2: hit it off, you know personally just off the field

103
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: and become really good friends too, So that always makes

104
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 2: it easier. You know this. Obviously there's more important things

105
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 2: in life than football, you know, your family, your faith,

106
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 2: whatever those things are to each individual, But this is

107
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 2: our life for seven months out of the year, however

108
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 2: long it ends up being. So you want to be

109
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 2: around people that you enjoy being around, that are your

110
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: friends and build those relationships outside of here, or it's

111
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 2: not it's not as fun. So you want to feel

112
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,120
Speaker 2: like you have friends in the building, have guys that

113
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: you have great relationships with. And that's what I'm thankful

114
00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 2: for on our team is everyone is pretty tight. So

115
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: I think that's important if your team moving forward, and

116
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,679
Speaker 2: it's something that we've really stressed this offseason is building

117
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 2: those relationships because it matters. You know, I'm into the

118
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: season when situations get tough. You know, you want to

119
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: be able to count on the guy next to you

120
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: and really know him, not just not just as a player,

121
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 2: but as a person.

122
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,040
Speaker 1: With all the ailments that happened at the end.

123
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 2: Of the season to you person, how long did it

124
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: take for you to finally and feel one hundred percent

125
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: It was probably going getting close to March, I'd say

126
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,840
Speaker 2: that's That's kind of what I would say is March.

127
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 2: I felt pretty good, started training hard again. I did

128
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 2: some stuff before that, but it was really just trying

129
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 2: to get healthy and not pushed too too hard early

130
00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 2: so I could get my body back. But yeah, just

131
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 2: a couple of things linger in and then you obviously

132
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 2: nurse those the back half of the season and never

133
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:39,400
Speaker 2: have a chance to heal, so it takes some time

134
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 2: to work through.

135
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,960
Speaker 1: It and being as durable as you've been a quarterback.

136
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it was this kind of a scary thing,

137
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 2: having to rehab something that don't probably do you mean

138
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,720
Speaker 2: just during the season last year. Yeah, I think I

139
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 2: wouldn't say as much scary as it was just frustrating.

140
00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: You know, it was frustrating not feeling like you're healthy

141
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: every week, and that's something obviously in football, you're gonna

142
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 2: deal with things every week that bother you and that

143
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 2: nag you a little bit, but you know, not as

144
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 2: not to the extent that some of the stuff I

145
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:12,360
Speaker 2: was dealing with isn't what I'm used to, So it is.

146
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 2: It can be frustrating of going out there and not

147
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 2: being able to practice full speed and not being able

148
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 2: to get some of the reps that you want to get,

149
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: and then going into the game and feeling like you're

150
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 2: a little bit limited. But that's that's this business, and

151
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,599
Speaker 2: you got to kind of play the hand your delt.

152
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 2: So that was a big emphasis this offseason is keeping

153
00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 2: my strength up and getting in great shape to where

154
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: I can stay healthier. Obviously, there's you can't control everything.

155
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 2: It's a physical game, and but you can control some

156
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 2: of the hits you take, getting out of balance, getting down,

157
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,480
Speaker 2: getting rid of the ball, some of those things. To

158
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 2: try to stay healthy so I can play my best

159
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 2: down the stretch. So that's a big point of emphasis

160
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: for me this year.

161
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 3: Again.

162
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 4: I mean, they're all out there, they're all cluff and everyone.

163
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 4: When you talk to them, they're like every lawns with

164
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:54,600
Speaker 4: the like heaving and out there.

165
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 2: Again, it's great having them, especially in camp. Uh sorry,

166
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 2: I'm a little stuffed up today. Especially in camp win,

167
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: Like these days get long, and you know, a week

168
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,080
Speaker 2: or two in, it's nice having some fans out there

169
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 2: to add a little bit of juice because when you're

170
00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 2: out there, like there's some some practices that are closed

171
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 2: to the fans and like, it feels so much more

172
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: debt out there than when they're here. So it brings

173
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 2: some juice to the players, and we really appreciate it.

174
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 2: You know. It adds a little bit of extra motivation

175
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 2: for us, and we enjoy getting to play in front

176
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 2: of people. That's that's part of what we love about

177
00:07:23,560 --> 00:07:26,600
Speaker 2: the game. And without them, you know, we wouldn't wouldn't

178
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: have the game, So we appreciate them, and it's always

179
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 2: good having them come out. I got to give it

180
00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 2: to him coming out at whatever time in the morning

181
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 2: and it's already ninety degrees. As a fan, that's some commitment.

182
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 2: So I appreciate them coming.

183
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 3: Out and that sort of beyond your own beyond your

184
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: own injury situation. How difficult was it for you to

185
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 3: try to, you know, pick up Christian the last six

186
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 3: weeks of the season, knowing how terrible he felt, not

187
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 3: just for his own injury situation, but feeling like he

188
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 3: almost like let the team down.

189
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think obviously it's hard dealing with injuries,

190
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 2: especially when you're a player like Christian who's such a

191
00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 2: big contributor to the team. But it's football, and you

192
00:08:07,920 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 2: understand that things happen that you can't control, you know,

193
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 2: injury like his, it's pretty serious, and so obviously you

194
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,920
Speaker 2: want him out there because he helps our team. But

195
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 2: there's really not There's nothing he can do. So I'm

196
00:08:18,720 --> 00:08:20,119
Speaker 2: just trying to keep him up, and I think everyone

197
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:22,119
Speaker 2: did a good job of just encouraging him and checking

198
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: in on him, and he did a good job handling

199
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: his rehab and he tried his hardest to come back,

200
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,600
Speaker 2: and it just didn't work out and obviously didn't make

201
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:29,760
Speaker 2: the playoffs, So who knows whatld happened if we would

202
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,240
Speaker 2: have won that game in Tennessee. But I know he

203
00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 2: was trying his hardest to come back, which was crazy

204
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 2: to even see that, you know, that kind of injury

205
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,319
Speaker 2: and he was, you know, kind of considering trying to

206
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 2: push to come back. That shows the Yeah, he didn't

207
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: have to do that. You know, that's a guy who's

208
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:45,360
Speaker 2: made a lot of money, he's been, has proven himself

209
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 2: in this league, who's been a great player for us,

210
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 2: and honestly, probably shouldn't have come back last season after

211
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:52,199
Speaker 2: that injury and him trying to come back to help

212
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 2: the team, I think that says enough about who he is.

213
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 2: But you know, he's a guy that obviously everybody needs

214
00:08:57,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Speaker 2: some encouragement, but he you know, he takes care of

215
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: his business. I think he has a really good head

216
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: on his shoulders and had a good perspective. But yeah,

217
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 2: it's never easy being hurt and just having to watch,

218
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: especially when he got hurt, how much we struggled. You know,

219
00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 2: it seemed like we couldn't find our groove. I know

220
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 2: that was tough for him and he wished he could

221
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 2: be out there, but you know, at the end of

222
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:15,959
Speaker 2: the day, we got to pick him up. You know,

223
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: we got to have guys step in. I got to

224
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 2: play better. A lot of things went wrong down the stretch.

225
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,720
Speaker 2: That isn't just to do with with him, but you know,

226
00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 2: all of us have to have to pick up that forever.

227
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 2: What are your early impressions of the defense that Ryan

228
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 2: Yssen's installing.

229
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: I know practice has been unpadded throughout the offseason, just

230
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: from what you've been able.

231
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,440
Speaker 2: To see, Yeah, I don't want to give too much away,

232
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 2: but you know, very physical. You know, the intensity is

233
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 2: super high over there, a lot of energy. The defensive

234
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: staff has been great, really detailed. The guys are harping

235
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: on the details all the time, but I'd say the

236
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,559
Speaker 2: physicality is definitely the biggest difference, you know, at the line,

237
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 2: on the outside, wherever, just really everywhere. I think that's

238
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:56,440
Speaker 2: been a point of emphasis and you can see it,

239
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 2: and there's every throw seems to be contested. It seems

240
00:09:59,920 --> 00:10:02,640
Speaker 2: to to be a little bit of traffic, which is

241
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 2: which is for the quarterback. Not good, but it's good

242
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:07,200
Speaker 2: to see your defense doing that, and it challenges us

243
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 2: and it's gonna present some challenges this training camp that

244
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 2: are gonna make us better as an offense too.

245
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 4: Third year, now, everything you say the same or do

246
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: you make changes as far as how much you throw

247
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 4: in camp and also your want for the preseason. If

248
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 4: you guys discussed how much you'll play as far as games.

249
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, good question. We haven't discussed the games yet. You know,

250
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,599
Speaker 2: I'm under the impression that's probably gonna stay as it

251
00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: has as it has in the past until I talk

252
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 2: with them. I haven't talked with him yet about that.

253
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: Usually we wait until we get a little further in camp,

254
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 2: but so we'll see. I don't have an answer for

255
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,960
Speaker 2: that right now. And then for practice now, I'm playing

256
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: on taking all the reps with the first group and

257
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 2: then mixing in some other guys with me as well.

258
00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,800
Speaker 2: Just you know, we're talking about Christian last year an

259
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 2: example of that of him going down and having Parker

260
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: or whoever step up. And Parker was coming off injury

261
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 2: coming into his rookie year, so he didn't get the

262
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 2: spring and missed a little bit of Trey any camp

263
00:11:00,520 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 2: with us, and then came back and then he got

264
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 2: hurt in the season right away too on the punt return,

265
00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 2: so and then he was asked to step in at

266
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:08,920
Speaker 2: the end of the year and really take all the

267
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 2: reps as a starting slot receiver from then on, and

268
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 2: he did a great job adjusting. But it did felt

269
00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 2: like we were having to play catch up because maybe

270
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 2: we didn't prepare enough on the front end for someone

271
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,800
Speaker 2: is gonna go down at some point. You don't want

272
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: that to happen, but if it does happen, you gotta

273
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,120
Speaker 2: be ready. So mixing in guys where I get reps

274
00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 2: with you know, six, seven, eight different receivers that could

275
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 2: possibly be in there if something were to happen or

276
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: just roll in there, you got to keep guys fresh.

277
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 2: So I think that's an emphasis too, is getting reps

278
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,640
Speaker 2: with those guys, not just the starting group, but the

279
00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 2: guys that could roll in there, because you never know

280
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 2: when you're gonna when you're gonna lean on those guys

281
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 2: and they have to make plays and you got to

282
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:44,880
Speaker 2: have the chemistry. So that's a big point of this

283
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 2: as far as reps and practice, I plan on, you know,

284
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:49,200
Speaker 2: being being the same. You know, they they mentioned they

285
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 2: might roll CJ. Mack in there a little bit with

286
00:11:51,559 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: the ones to get them some reps and chemistry with

287
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: those guys just in case, you know, stuff like that,

288
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 2: which is which perfectly fine. So I'll just you know,

289
00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: us and myself and the coaches will kind of figure

290
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: that out and move forward with that.

291
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: We're gonna finish with the Medris Olivia and Mark's the

292
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: last one.

293
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: So Trevor, just the league seems to be moving towards

294
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: eighteen games as the regular season schedule. I'm just curious

295
00:12:10,400 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 2: from a player's perspective, if.

296
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 3: You've given any thought to that or how that would

297
00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 3: look like, or just just your general feelings, aren't it.

298
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good question. It's a lot of games,

299
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 2: so I think there has to be some give. You know,

300
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,400
Speaker 2: it's a lot of games on the players, and it's

301
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 2: already Seventeen's a lot when we when I went from

302
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: sixteen to seventeen, So you know, maybe if there's two

303
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 2: bye weeks. I don't really know what the conversations are there.

304
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 2: I'm not I haven't been involved in those, so I

305
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: don't know. I don't have an answer for it, but

306
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 2: I think you have to add some type of extra

307
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 2: break if you're gonna add an extra game because that's

308
00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 2: that's a lot, and you're not even talking playoffs and

309
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 2: preseason on top of that. So how that all adjusts,

310
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,320
Speaker 2: I don't know, but I think if you do that,

311
00:12:50,360 --> 00:12:52,319
Speaker 2: you got to give something up to get to give

312
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 2: the guys a little bit of a break for their bodies.

313
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:56,200
Speaker 2: All right, hopefully easy question for you.

314
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 3: And the off season you were seen playing with NFL

315
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 3: quarterbacks and cool high school kids as well.

316
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 2: What was that like for you.

317
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 3: To kind of build those relationships with other NFL quarterbacks and.

318
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 1: Potentially guys who could be receiving your throws in the NFL.

319
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,320
Speaker 2: What are you talk talking about specifically?

320
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 3: Oh?

321
00:13:13,440 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, got you, yes, So yeah that was last week?

322
00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:18,720
Speaker 2: Was recently. Yeah, I went out there. It was great

323
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,920
Speaker 2: to see Brock and I know some of the other

324
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,679
Speaker 2: guys around the league out there to Nathan Peterman was

325
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 2: out there, and we had a group of high school

326
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 2: guys catching. So it's cool when all those different worlds collide.

327
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:30,680
Speaker 2: And I obviously I remember when I was in high school,

328
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 2: if I had the opportunity to be out there with

329
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: guys that play in the NFL, would have loved that.

330
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 2: And the guys that were catching for us really enjoyed it,

331
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:40,880
Speaker 2: and we're asking us some questions and just enjoyed being

332
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,320
Speaker 2: out there and getting that opportunity. So and for us,

333
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 2: it's great to have guys to catch. Sometimes in the offseason,

334
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 2: everyone's spread out. The guys in the team usually are

335
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: in a lot of different places and traveling and enjoying

336
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 2: the break and just trying to get some family time in.

337
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,480
Speaker 2: So it's nice to have some some bodies and some

338
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 2: hands to catch. But yeah, I've always really liked Brock,

339
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 2: you know, I've known them for a couple of years now,

340
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: and the way he carries them off. I've always had

341
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,840
Speaker 2: a lot of respect for that, and you know, it's

342
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 2: it's always fun getting together with him. But yeah, it's good.

343
00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:09,200
Speaker 1: And on this one, we've talked about this before. So

344
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 1: much goes into turnovers, But where does that rank on

345
00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: your to do list? To get that number down so

346
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: that it's maybe what's what's a manageable number for you? You

347
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:21,440
Speaker 1: know going in the season?

348
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 2: What did what do you zero? No? I mean, how

349
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: how much does that.

350
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: Bother you going into your core?

351
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think if you look at my career, you know,

352
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 2: my rookie year, just making decisions throwing the ball probably

353
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: wasn't great or wasn't great, and I think I've made

354
00:14:38,520 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 2: a big improvement on that. You know, interceptions the type

355
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we throw the ball a lot. You're

356
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: going to have some interceptions. Stuff's going to happen. But

357
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 2: I think for the most part the last two years,

358
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 2: decisions have been good. Obviously you're going to have a

359
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: few every once in a while that aren't great decisions.

360
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 2: You know, playing quarterback, throwing the ball a lot, that's

361
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 2: going to happen, But it's more of what I've talked

362
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: about in the past is just the ball security in

363
00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,800
Speaker 2: the pocket and then space running and not putting the

364
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: ball on the ground. That's something that I control. That's

365
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:06,000
Speaker 2: easier to control, honestly, I think then sometimes the passing game,

366
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: So that's really what I got to fix. So I'll

367
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: put a big emphasis on that of just securing the

368
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 2: ball in the pocket when I'm moving around, when I'm scrambling.

369
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 2: That's something that obviously got to fix. And you gotta

370
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: limit turnovers. That's the number one key in games to

371
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: winning or losing is do you have how many times

372
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 2: you turn the ball over. How many turnovers do you

373
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 2: get as a defense, and obviously as an offense, we

374
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,240
Speaker 2: control when we give the ball away, so you got

375
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 2: to be able to limit that. How do you fix it?

376
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 2: I mean you hold it high.

377
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 1: You're trying to hold it higher when you run, when

378
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 1: you scramble.

379
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: Just being smart, you know, knowing when you know. Some

380
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 2: some situations, no one to take a sack. A lot

381
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: of them are coming from you're getting you're getting tackled

382
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 2: and you're trying to escape, so you're you know, the

383
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: ball gets loose or whatever, and then it gets hit

384
00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 2: from somebody else. That's one instance if you're getting sacked.

385
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 2: Just sometimes you just got to take it and go

386
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 2: down in space, tucking it, not getting wide, you know,

387
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 2: taking certain hits. And then in the pocket, yeah, it's

388
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: two hands, it's tight to the body. When you feel

389
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 2: the pocket collapsing, it's being able to tuck it. All

390
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,760
Speaker 2: those and that's stuff that you just drill and work

391
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: and you sometimes it's hard because you don't simulate, you

392
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 2: don't get hit in practice, but you gotta find ways

393
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 2: to drill it, whether it's with pads, with coaches, you know,

394
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 2: with the little punch er things, whatever you want to

395
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: call them. You know, stuff like that that that that

396
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: stuff does work, builds muscle memory, but you just got

397
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,840
Speaker 2: to keep doing it. Awesome, Thank y'all,
