1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: What do you say, you who's in.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:10,639
Speaker 2: The stay engaged, stay ready. You know, as a quarterback,

3
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 2: you literally one play away. Your preparation shouldn't change, your

4
00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:21,520
Speaker 2: attitude shouldn't change quarterback as a leader, whether they want

5
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:23,239
Speaker 2: to be or not. So a lot of people look

6
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 2: towards us doing downtimes to see how we respond. Obviously,

7
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 2: when everything's up, everyone's happy, but in downtimes you look

8
00:00:33,640 --> 00:00:35,920
Speaker 2: towards your leaders to see how you respond. So that

9
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:39,640
Speaker 2: would be my message, uh, to any young player dealing

10
00:00:39,720 --> 00:00:42,239
Speaker 2: with it, that I've been to enough not enough. I've

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,680
Speaker 2: been through a lot. I've had a chance to learn

12
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: from each each situation.

13
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 3: You've been kind of through the peaks and valleys of

14
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 3: you know, starting not starting. I mean, is it almost

15
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 3: second nature to you now that you don't react when

16
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 3: you do get the start when you don't get the start.

17
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 2: I think that's just who I am. Try to stay

18
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:06,119
Speaker 2: as level as possible through the hides and the lows.

19
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: Life is roller coaster. How you endure the storms and

20
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:16,120
Speaker 2: how you endure the ups and downs I think speaks

21
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 2: to your character.

22
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: So try to remain the same.

23
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 3: Right, how did that sixty nine yard play? The Slaton breakdown.

24
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:24,720
Speaker 2: It was, you know, something that we're not used to

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 2: seeing very much of this season. Yeah, one of our

26
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 2: levels concepts, and we had a chance to get in

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: one on one with the safety. I think he got

28
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:39,040
Speaker 2: on safety faster than the safety expected from my perspective. Whatever,

29
00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: we see a receiver even with the safety, and we

30
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 2: give him a chance, and Slayton done a great job

31
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: of tracking the ball coming out of his break and

32
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,120
Speaker 2: ultimately still scoring on that play. To be able to

33
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 2: have the body control on the side end after steph

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 2: farmering to be able to get the end zone, which

35
00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: is a truly big play. You want to create as

36
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: many explosives that you can, we can and weak out

37
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: and that was clearly one of our bigger UH players

38
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: of the game.

39
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: He's gonna be pretty much any safety though, right, Oh

40
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: for sure. I mean I like his I like our

41
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 1: match up with him on any safety. How much does

42
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: this mean to you to get the start here? It

43
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 1: means everything to me.

44
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:13,680
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the work that you put in weekend

45
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 2: week out, been playing this game for a long time,

46
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 2: and any time I get a chance to lay up

47
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,919
Speaker 2: because them and go out and compete means the word

48
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,400
Speaker 2: to me as well, I'm the happiest and that's what

49
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,680
Speaker 2: I love to do. Uh, to be able to guard

50
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: and and not only show your peers, but prove it

51
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: to yourself, which you could do.

52
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's not a mean thing.

53
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:38,440
Speaker 2: It's a it's a team sport, and I'm decided for

54
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:40,720
Speaker 2: our guys to go out for these last two weeks

55
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 2: to put our best foot forward and to compete at

56
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 2: our level. It's still regardless of playoffs and now there's

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: always something to play for, and that's the mindset that

58
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 2: we gotta have.

59
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 3: That's it taking a feel of youth. Of course, you

60
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 3: know about every person profession. What does it mean to

61
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:07,440
Speaker 3: you that it came back around and that you do

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 3: have a chance to finish things out here in a

63
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: certain way, whether your contracts up or not.

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:12,959
Speaker 1: It means a lot.

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:17,119
Speaker 2: Like I said, I take any opportunity to get it.

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 2: To be able to go out and play, it's a privilege,

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 2: and I know the work that I put in day

68
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 2: in and day out.

69
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:26,800
Speaker 1: So definitely excited.

70
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 2: Like I said, I know we're out of the playoffs,

71
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 2: but there's a lot to play for and I'm excited

72
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 2: to go out there and con people with these guys

73
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 2: in the locker room.

74
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 1: Guys are still encouraged. Obviously, it wasn't the season that

75
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: we wanted.

76
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840
Speaker 2: But we can have we have all we have all

77
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,080
Speaker 2: of it in front of us to finish it out

78
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: the way that we want to and it still goes

79
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 2: I mean within then the's locker room that we know

80
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 2: that we can achieve.

81
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,400
Speaker 1: So obviously you have obviously you have tape out there,

82
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,280
Speaker 1: but you're a free agent this offseason, right, how much

83
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: do you look at this as an audition? Hey, this

84
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: is what I can still kind of do you know,

85
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 1: focus on the Rams
