1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: I'm great.

2
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: How are you guys doing so, how would you sum up

3
00:00:04,320 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 2: kind of the first three days of practice? It's good,

4
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 2: A lot of fun. Would you love to do Yeah, yeah, absolutely,

5
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 2: it's been a lot of fun. I'm just just trying

6
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,280
Speaker 2: to take advantage of of all the reps I get

7
00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 2: working with all the guys, and uh, it's been a

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 2: ton of fun just to be able to be back

9
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 2: out there and have our full room back.

10
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,279
Speaker 1: Man, it's spent a ton of fun. There's not a

11
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: lot of reps to go around. I mean, how do

12
00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: you do you do anything on the on the side field.

13
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: Do you anything to sort of augment what you're getting

14
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: in the in the actual practice? Yeah, I mean live reps.

15
00:00:31,680 --> 00:00:33,279
Speaker 2: I mean we got we got four guys, so it's

16
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 2: just kind of is what it is, and uh, just

17
00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,279
Speaker 2: try to do it as best as I can take

18
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 2: advantage of every rep I get.

19
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: How did you link up with Jeff Christians in the

20
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: off season? Did someone recommend it to you?

21
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: I had a friend, Uh, his name is zeb Nolan

22
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 2: that I played with in college and he had worked

23
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 2: with Jeff and we talked about all the time, so

24
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,760
Speaker 2: he kind of we had talked about it and I

25
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,280
Speaker 2: had talked to Jeff and then yeah, we started started

26
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 2: working together and that was it starting with Jeff. Uh

27
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 2: I wanna get into all the details, but I feel

28
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 2: really good about but what we've accomplished, and uh gonna

29
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:02,680
Speaker 2: continue to work and continue to get better.

30
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: Along those lines, what did you gain from just being

31
00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 3: around Patrick Mahomes and maybe picking his brain anything that he.

32
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 1: Kind of glombed onto.

33
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, uh, I think I talked about it

34
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 2: in during OTA's but uh, it's just awesome to be

35
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 2: around a guy like that. Obviously he's he's probably doing

36
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 2: at the highest level. Uh there is maybe I don't

37
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 2: wanna say ever, I don't wanna get in the controversy,

38
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: but uh, he's he's playing.

39
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: At a very obviously very high level. Uh.

40
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,319
Speaker 2: Multiple super bowl Its, multiple big games. So uh, just

41
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 2: being able to pick his brain about everything in season,

42
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 2: off season, his schedule, how he sees the game, everything

43
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 2: like that?

44
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: Was it just I? Y, did you do it in

45
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 1: these last forty days as well? With no, no, we

46
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: didn't throw together.

47
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: Sure after after Brock got cleared the other day, what

48
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 3: was the message from from Coacheana and to you? And

49
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: then how did you kind of digest you know how

50
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:48,880
Speaker 3: this might play out over the next Uh.

51
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: No, we haven't had any conversations. So it's just learn,

52
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 2: uh find out, you know, right before practice or whatever,

53
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 2: what the rep count is gonna be. And like I said,

54
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 2: just just take advantage of ever rep. But super excited

55
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: obviously for Brock. Uh that he's able to come back

56
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 2: and practice.

57
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:01,960
Speaker 1: It's good to have a whole room.

58
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 3: Really well, Brandon and Deebo look much proved.

59
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you notice about their improvements? Where do

60
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 1: you see them different from a year ago? And Ba's

61
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: catching everything.

62
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 2: Uh, he's running great routes, he's getting to his landmarks,

63
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,760
Speaker 2: he's making plays, and he looks like, you know, the

64
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Ba that we all knew he could be these last

65
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: few years and that he kind of turned into I

66
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: think towards the end of the season last year. And

67
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:26,839
Speaker 2: Deebo looks great, man, I mean he he really took

68
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 2: care of his body. I know you guys have all

69
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,520
Speaker 2: talked about it and heard about it, but he took

70
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 2: care of himself this offseason, locked in and and he looks,

71
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,520
Speaker 2: I mean really one of the best I've ever seen.

72
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 4: And when you have limited reps like you have in

73
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 4: the last couple of days. If you make a bad throat,

74
00:02:41,480 --> 00:02:43,520
Speaker 4: does it stick with you more and do you kick

75
00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 4: yourself more?

76
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,079
Speaker 2: Uh? Not really, I mean especially on the field. Maybe

77
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: after practice going back and watching it, uh, but uh,

78
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 2: on the field, I'm I'm very much trying to turn

79
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,480
Speaker 2: the page. Yeah, I gotta go on to the next play,

80
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,680
Speaker 2: cause once it starts to snowball and you know, let

81
00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: the linger or anything like that, especially with like you said,

82
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:01,519
Speaker 2: but just see and take advantage one rep at a time.

83
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 4: Tuesday, Kyle told us that any type of rockets out

84
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 4: there in the field, it'll be the ones.

85
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,480
Speaker 3: How do you kind of read that? How do you

86
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,640
Speaker 3: kind of feel about where you are positioned?

87
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:17,360
Speaker 1: Honestly, don't. Uh no, I don't. I'm not thinking about it.

88
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: I'm taking it one day at a time, one rep

89
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 2: at a time, and like I said, just just taking

90
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: advantage of every rep and just continue to compete.

91
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: What's the vibe like in the quarterback room?

92
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 3: It seems like I'm a few Do you guys have

93
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 3: a real strong camaraderie.

94
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: With each other. Yeah, we're all real good friends.

95
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 2: I Mean, we're all similar in age, pretty close, So

96
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: it's just been really fun just to be able to

97
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 2: work with those guys, bringing Brandon and Sam new this year. Uh,

98
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 2: but it's just a fun group of guys, you know,

99
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: it's off the field outside of football. I mean, we're

100
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:43,360
Speaker 2: all pretty good friends, so it's fun to hang around

101
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: with those guys.

102
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 4: Right this time last year, you were declared you're the

103
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 4: starter with your box position. Right now, play what less

104
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 4: than five quarters your season ended? Obviously, I think the

105
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 4: control will rocket out of here.

106
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: Control, But I don't. How do you just kind of

107
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: reconcile everything? Like, I'm not sure you do.

108
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,520
Speaker 4: You've been wrong where you've gone from starter and declared

109
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 4: starter to.

110
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: Complete lead the number three?

111
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I just like I said, just take

112
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,040
Speaker 2: it one day at a time. I'm very present, mind

113
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 2: focused every rep, one rep at a time, one day

114
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 2: at a time, one meeting at a time, whatever it is.

115
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 2: I mean, I I truly everything works out exactly how

116
00:04:25,760 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 2: it's supposed to do. So as long as I controlled,

117
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 2: I can control. Uh, that's all I can worry about.

118
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: You're very more comfortable.

119
00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 2: Do you think you're a better player.

120
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 1: Since you've been here? Yeah? Night and day? Yeah. Uh.

121
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 2: All the ways the game slowed down a lot. Just

122
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:43,039
Speaker 2: continue to get better though you.

123
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: Really on this work or at anything like that.

124
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, a lot of a lot of breathing, a

125
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,840
Speaker 2: lot of meditation, a lot of just just present mind

126
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 2: focus and and journal and things like that, just to

127
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: to keep myself, you know, keeping it one day at

128
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 2: a time. And if I do that, it's not too

129
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 2: hard to stay positive. I'm pretty pretty blessed to be

130
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: in this position, to to have this opportunit.

131
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 3: You talk a lot of the spring about the finger

132
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 3: and how it things mechanically and all that. How have

133
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,240
Speaker 3: you reached the point of where you, you know, kind

134
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 3: of just able to repeat the mechanics that you want

135
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,840
Speaker 3: and you know, getting rid of the whatever you had to.

136
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: Do to kind of get by. Yeah, just just reps.

137
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 2: I think this this off season is probably the most

138
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,360
Speaker 2: I've ever thrown, maybe in my life, with no arm pain,

139
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: no anything like that. So, uh, definitely just just reps

140
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: as many reps as I could possibly get this off season,

141
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 2: throwing as many days as I could. That's what I

142
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: tried to do, and just try to get better, you know,

143
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 2: one percent every day.

144
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,039
Speaker 3: Do you find it that if you've reached the point

145
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,039
Speaker 3: of just muscle memory like, would you go back and watch,

146
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 3: you know, tape of yourself throwing?

147
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: It's more my feet honestly than anything from the last

148
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 2: couple of years. But uh, yeah, no, I don't. I

149
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 2: don't find myself liking to watch the mechanics side of

150
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 2: of the last couple of years reps. I feel like

151
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: I'm in a much much better place now.

152
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 1: For sure.

153
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:52,760
Speaker 3: You said no arm pain.

154
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:56,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that that is mechanics related?

155
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: That your mechanics are are good now that you're not

156
00:05:59,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: having this?

157
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: I think yeah, With with the volume I've been able

158
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,560
