What 239 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: what does no naps mean? How do you take that 240 00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: and what does it mean for this football team? 241 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been no plays off, it's no days off. 242 00:09:19,920 --> 00:09:22,600 Speaker 2: It's what coach rable with what he brings every day. 243 00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 2: You know, it's no days off, it's no plays off. 244 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,400 Speaker 2: I think times when we get up in games offensively 245 00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:30,800 Speaker 2: and kind of have a two score lead or you know, 246 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:32,200 Speaker 2: have a chance to put the game out of reach, 247 00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,560 Speaker 2: we need to you know, be at our best and 248 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 2: still have that same mergency as we do in the 249 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:36,599 Speaker 2: beginning of a game. And I think he's trying to 250 00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,079 Speaker 2: get that across to the team and uh, knowing that 251 00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 2: good teams have a chance to come back on us 252 00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 2: and making a game. So that's what we're trying to 253 00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: you know, his no naps and don't take plays off 254 00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 2: of every every position, every player. 255 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 4: You know, Drake, I'm not sure if you saw this, 256 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 4: but a lot was made last week on social media 257 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,440 Speaker 4: and such of you being a multi sport athlete, not 258 00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 4: just someone who played football and football only, with some 259 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 4: of you basketball highlights and even some interesting pictures of 260 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,880 Speaker 4: Nick Saban and Steve Sarkisian scouting you at a at 261 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,839 Speaker 4: a basketball game. I'm just curious if you you still 262 00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 4: believe playing multiple sports is great for the contemporary athlete, 263 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,199 Speaker 4: and did that help make you a better quarterback. Nick Saban, 264 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,040 Speaker 4: by the way, was on the Pat McAfee show the 265 00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 4: other day saying that if you weren't a quarterback, you 266 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 4: probably could have played basketball at North Carolina and even 267 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 4: maybe been a pro hooper. 268 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,480 Speaker 2: I'm not sure about that. Coach is nice to say that, 269 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:32,640 Speaker 2: but I was a huge fan. You know, me and 270 00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,480 Speaker 2: my brothers, we all played, you know, the football season. 271 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 2: We put pads on basketball season and went to baseball season. 272 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,080 Speaker 2: So our favorite sport was really was ever season it was. 273 00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 2: And I think that's what you know, our parents, you know, 274 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 2: did growing up, and that's what I was just accustomed to. 275 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: And I think nowadays, you know, kids are so worried 276 00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:50,840 Speaker 2: about trying to get to the highest level playing the 277 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 2: same sport. I think playing different sports and different experiences 278 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 2: and being in different situations as is so good for 279 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,960 Speaker 2: you at a young age, and it was so good 280 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 2: for me. You know, I'm a big fan of playing sports, 281 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,480 Speaker 2: playing different sports. I remember in high school, uh sure, 282 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: we had a football game our last football game was 283 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: on a Friday, and that next Tuesday, my junior in 284 00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: high school, I was starting in the basketball game. So 285 00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 2: I loved it. I loved you know, transitioning to sports 286 00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,120 Speaker 2: and you want some my outside basketball is inside and 287 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,559 Speaker 2: playing whatever you can, whether it's you know, different sports 288 00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:23,960 Speaker 2: throughout the season. And I think it's such a huge 289 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: advantage of you know, playing quarterback and then in basketball 290 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:28,320 Speaker 2: having the ball at the inn or he hand with 291 00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: the last shot, and uh, just how similar it really is. 292 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,560 Speaker 2: And some of the sports translate and you know, movement wise, 293 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: and some don't. But you know, I'm a huge fan 294 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:37,760 Speaker 2: of and hopefully one day have my own family and 295 00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 2: have my kids play as many as they want and 296 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 2: as many as they can. So I'm a fan, and 297 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 2: I know appearents and some people are different opinionated, but uh, 298 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,160 Speaker 2: obviously I think it may have worked out for for 299 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: for me and my brothers. 300 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,840 Speaker 1: Drake, your coach, Rabel dismissed this question, but I felt 301 00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: like I'd give you the opportunity because you know, you're 302 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: familiar with this guy and he played for the Patriots. 303 00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:02,160 Speaker 1: Cam Newton said the Patriots are fool's gold. That was 304 00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: his words. Not mine. Do you do you hear those things? 305 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: Do you react those things?

Drake may is the best basketball 353 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,160 Speaker 1: player in the Gillette Stadium locker room. 354 00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 3: May Or may not. 355 00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,560 Speaker 2: Oh, We've had this debate many times in the training 356 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:40,480 Speaker 2: room and the maal room. I like my chances. I 357 00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: like my chances a lot. I think I think, you know, combination, 358 00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 2: some of those guys, some of the big guys who bag, 359 00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 2: they can't move with me, and some of the dbs 360 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: and receivers, I think they're too small. So I like 361 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: my chances. 362 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:54,920 Speaker 3: All right, we'll stay with the multi sports subject. 363 00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 4: If you were not a quarterback, would you want to 364 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,000 Speaker 4: be a professional basketball player? 365 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 3: May Or may not? 366 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: Oh, for sure.

I got a lot of games, so 371 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:18,440 Speaker 2: it's kind of one of those things that's really the ultimate, 372 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: you know, next game mentality, and I think it's it's 373 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 2: a It's one of my favorites growing up playing basketball. 374 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 2: I don't think I could that.

Rick Flair 378 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: is the greatest wrestler of all time. 379 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:36,960 Speaker 3: May Or may not. 380 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: Oh, that's a good one. I'll probably say, probably may not. 381 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: You know, I'm not sure. I'm a big fan of 382 00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 2: the two colaps in Rick Flair, but I think there's some, uh, 383 00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: there's some pretty good ones out there, and I know 384 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,720 Speaker 2: that the wrestle.

I think about the 391 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,160 Speaker 2: efforts there. I don't think the skills are there. So 392 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: everyone take that. 393 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is allowed before I get 394 00:16:22,200 --> 00:16:24,080 Speaker 1: the quarterback question of the week, but follow up question, 395 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: do you have a favorite wrestler of all time or 396 00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: the best wrestler. 397 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:27,200 Speaker 3: Of all time? 398 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 2: Favorite? I was an Undertaker fan. Nice I was a 399 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,080 Speaker 2: fan of the Undertaker growing up, and I think real wrestling. 400 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 2: I got into real wrestling a little bit. I think 401 00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:41,640 Speaker 2: it the Burroughs was his name for the USA. He 402 00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:45,400 Speaker 2: was real good and competitive wrestling, but probably Undertaker and 403 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 2: WWE stuff awesome. 404 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,720 Speaker 1: Okay, time now for the quarterback question of the week. 405 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: This week's question comes from Ricky in Rochester. What do 406 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 1: you feel like you've improved most on this season and 407 00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,840 Speaker 1: what do you feel like you still need to most 408 00:16:58,880 --> 00:16:59,960 Speaker 1: improve on this season? 409 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 2: And we have improved on most of this season. I 410 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 2: think just just kind of navigating to the next play 411 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 2: and knowing that the next play is more important than 412 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,399 Speaker 2: what just happened, whether it was a one that liked 413 00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 2: to have back or one that we you know, scored on. 414 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 2: I think just knowing that next play and you know, 415 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,119 Speaker 2: having that mentality and always I think coach Frabel's you know, 416 00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 2: helped me a lot with just you know, moving on 417 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:21,879 Speaker 2: and kind of screw it and just go for the 418 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:26,200 Speaker 2: next one. And I think Steele could improve on is Yeah, 419 00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 2: I'm always trying to improve on commanding the offense, knowing 420 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,840 Speaker 2: the offense, getting the good plays, getting the better plays 421 00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:32,919 Speaker 2: I think, the more minus offense, the better will be 422 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 2: and the better we'll get. And just trying to, you know, 423 00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: work hard at that and trying to be the best 424 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 2: I can every week. 425 00:17:39,960 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: All right, Drake, We we appreciate you joining us this Monday. 426 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,159 Speaker 1: Good luck prepping and playing the Bengals, and we'll talk. 427 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 3: To you a week from today.
