1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: So good. Yeah, both at the same time. Go ahead,

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,800
Speaker 1: I'm playing. Some of your.

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:16,240
Speaker 2: Teammates are saying after uh, persday, I thought you maybe

4
00:00:16,239 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: you might have turned a corner and you just kind

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 2: of looked the more confidence everything else coming out, and

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:21,640
Speaker 2: then followed that up with practice.

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: Did you feel something different in that game first to

8
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 1: give you a little bit more confidence?

9
00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's definitely some things I can take

10
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 2: and kind of move forward with that. Things I thought

11
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 2: I did, well, You'll still just you know, drop the snap,

12
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:33,919
Speaker 2: little things you know here and there. But uh same time,

13
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: I think you know, more and more reps out here,

14
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 2: and more and more ball off, like more more in

15
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: this offense. Yeah, kind of getting kind of find a groove,

16
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 2: get more comfortable. So excited you know it was out

17
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,440
Speaker 2: there was fun, you know last Thursday night, and excited

18
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: to get back out there getting Sunday.

19
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 1: That seems yeah.

20
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, just you know, really you know,

21
00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 2: the first quarter, I second quarter, but you gotta be ready.

22
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:01,840
Speaker 2: I'm one snap away from the backup, and you know

23
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: da is gonna be in there starting center, so he's

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,880
Speaker 2: got a you know, it's different getting you know, feeling

25
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,000
Speaker 2: different from different centers. So the number one thing he

26
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,360
Speaker 2: started players getting snapped. So I think, whatever, you know,

27
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: all four us try to get snapped from d A

28
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 2: and and UH and Nick and the guys in the center.

29
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 2: So try to make emphasis of not having little things

30
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: like balls on the ground. So uh, you know, I think,

31
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 2: just you know, get an opportunity to get from snap

32
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: from a center like DA who always talked about stories

33
00:01:22,400 --> 00:01:24,759
Speaker 2: from Tom and how how Tom used to like a snap,

34
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:25,760
Speaker 2: So just pretty cool.

35
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Uh No, I just you know, I make sure with

36
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 1: d A.

37
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 2: I think maybe my first preseason game, you know, against

38
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: the Panthers, went out there and and DA was out

39
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: there haining get snap from Da in months. So I

40
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,200
Speaker 2: was like, hey, you know, David, just you know, make

41
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: sure these practices get some snaps just in case, you know,

42
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 2: something like that happened.

43
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,080
Speaker 1: So just trying to be ready.

44
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 2: Was specifically saying that he's not ready to starter yet

45
00:01:47,520 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: it's still a competition.

46
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: Give these last practices job.

47
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: Uh you know, I think I'm gonna take advantage of oportunities.

48
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 2: I think, you know, Jcob has done a great job.

49
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 2: He's a great player, a great teammate. There's a up

50
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 2: with the ones. The whole time, so excited for him

51
00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: and just trying to take you every advantage of you know,

52
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 2: take advantage of the reps I do get.

53
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: And uh, when I went in there to try to

54
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: have some fun.

55
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:13,839
Speaker 2: Any quarterbacks or anyone about whether it's in your best interest.

56
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,600
Speaker 1: To play right away right away?

57
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think all your scenarios are different. I think

58
00:02:17,919 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: you've seen some cess from guys that play right away

59
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 2: and something that's it. So just you know, trusting organization,

60
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 2: trusting what the coach is thinking. I'm just here to

61
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 2: you know, to your work and get ready when names called.

62
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: For specifically wondering.

63
00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, one snap and shoot my first snap out

64
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 2: of your probably last three hundreds on the ground. So

65
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: I think you want a manage in the game, so

66
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 2: you got to you know, cut the little things like that.

67
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 2: But uh, and that start to feel more more comfortable,

68
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 2: you know. I think I'm a guy that can you know,

69
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 2: drop back from earner center and uh, you'll make things happen.

70
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 2: And I'm excited to continue to try to you know,

71
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,919
Speaker 2: work on that and you know, find my find my groove.

72
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 2: Now you're good, go ahead, it's clear, so we know

73
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 2: the answer.

74
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:15,560
Speaker 1: But would you be personally disappointed star. Yeah, I think

75
00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:16,200
Speaker 1: that's a good question.

76
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,200
Speaker 2: I think, you know, the biggest thing with me, I

77
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 2: think personal goals, you know come with winning, you know media,

78
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: personal goals you help the football team win and whichever

79
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 2: way I can, So, you know, I think whether that's

80
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 2: starting or that's helping Jacoby anyway, just helping the team win,

81
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:34,000
Speaker 2: that's the main focus. Yeah, I think to keep back

82
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 2: out there and uh, you know, hope you get some

83
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 2: ports on the board. I think clean up the operation.

84
00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 2: You know, iv P always preaches operation. You know how

85
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: I'm command the huddle, getting in out of huddle, you know,

86
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 2: getting in you know, when the play clock that's winding down,

87
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 2: we're at the last few seconds. So just trying to

88
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 2: clean those things up and just I think hopefully'n be

89
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: some rookies out there so have some fun. Drake Christians

90
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: compared to the answer when it comes to your ability

91
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 2: to process.

92
00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: So I'm just curious, what's your learning style like and

93
00:03:57,400 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: how do you feel like?

94
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think the biggest thing with me

95
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: is kind of what I taught and coach Christian helpth

96
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 2: in college is just once you learn something, you'll try

97
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 2: to teach you back somebody. That's the kind of the

98
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 2: biggest way I learned kind of master and that's the

99
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 2: kind of the biggest thing I'm trying to do where

100
00:04:11,600 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 2: it's teasing the young guys choosing, you know, the young

101
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 2: guys up front or Jayvon and j P. Heyes, how

102
00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 2: I want you to run the route. That's how we

103
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 2: learned it in the quarterback room and we're the ones

104
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 2: doing it. So it's trying to you'll preset to those

105
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,440
Speaker 2: guys and uh, just be a creature habit of you know,

106
00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 2: studying the little things in details.

107
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 1: Training camp.

108
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, hopefully IVE made some strides. I definitely

109
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 2: feel more comfortable. I think it all comes when your

110
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 2: live bulls are out there, and I guess we'll find out,

111
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:37,599
Speaker 2: you know, this season.

112
00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: So you know he's the starter.

113
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 2: Uh you know, I'm I'm not so sure. And you

114
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 2: know I know that you know, Jacoby's you'll play great.

115
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,200
Speaker 2: I think you know, there's there's an opportunity for him

116
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 2: to go out there and uh, you'll make a playing time.

117
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:00,799
Speaker 1: You names called knows the offense.

118
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 2: He's been a great teacher to me, you know, as

119
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: a young rookie coming in here and decided Tom you'll

120
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,520
Speaker 2: be able to learn from him. Then you learn from

121
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:08,719
Speaker 2: them throughout the season when you know, real things start going.

122
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 1: Right now.

123
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 2: Difficult part of my job, Yeah, I think just balancing

124
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:18,440
Speaker 2: being in there with vets that know, you know, know

125
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 2: what they're doing, are kind of helping me and balancing

126
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: you know, me kind of being the young guy, you know,

127
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,040
Speaker 2: in the rookie class of kind of knowing the most

128
00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 2: and trying to tease those young guys. So kind of

129
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: balancing that quarterback of you know, hey, there's guys like

130
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 2: David and and Chukes and kJ you know, played in

131
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: games and played in playoff games and that know, you know,

132
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 2: all these things.

133
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:36,719
Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn from them. And for me, there's

134
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: you know, young.

135
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 2: Guys here of me and j P and Javon and

136
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 2: Laden and Kadien, young guys that you know, we're trying

137
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: to come up together and I feel like as a

138
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: quarterback is my job to kind of bring them along.

139
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 1: So just bouncing that aspect and not just go play balls.

140
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: Thank you, Thanks for
