1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,320 Speaker 1: Let's start from number ten, went into that. 2 00:00:05,320 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 2: I just wanted to be under twenty, so I had 3 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,960 Speaker 2: a couple options. Eighteen was like the last. It was 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 2: like eighteen nineteen and two I think. Then we signed 5 00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:16,520 Speaker 2: to russ so he went to three, so that moved 6 00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,880 Speaker 2: Tata too, so that I was just like, put me 7 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 2: in eighteen. No personal reason, bost How was. 8 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:24,960 Speaker 1: It playing with him? What kind of. 9 00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,760 Speaker 3: Connection you have going with him? It's been awesome. You know, his. 10 00:00:29,720 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 4: Knowledge of the game has shown already. 11 00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: You know, obviously he has amazing talent with the ball accuracy, 12 00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:40,640 Speaker 2: great touch on the deep balls. I don't really know 13 00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,600 Speaker 2: that he's missed more than one or two deep balls. 14 00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 3: This whole camp. 15 00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: You know, it's really accurate, really smart. It's helped keep 16 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: us in good plays, you know, throughout the whole camp. 17 00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 2: So his his his impact has been felt for sure. 18 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,040 Speaker 3: One such an easy bullet to catch. Yeah, why you 19 00:00:56,120 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 3: hit your hands? Are you forming that? 20 00:00:57,800 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 4: So? 21 00:00:58,280 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, it's definitely. 22 00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: It's just had a nice pace, even spiral, nice pace, 23 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,399 Speaker 2: you know, a firm ball that gets to you so 24 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:05,000 Speaker 2: you don't get. 25 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 4: Killed, but you know, smooth enough to where like it's 26 00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 4: it's it's very catchable. 27 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 3: How much do you think that should help you? 28 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,240 Speaker 1: Right, the idea that he throws that that good deep 29 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,560 Speaker 1: ball and that kind of place into what your strength 30 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 1: is obviously, how much should that benefit you theoretically. 31 00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,320 Speaker 3: A toll him? You know, I love I love going deep. 32 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:23,440 Speaker 2: That's's kind of how I you know, made my name 33 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,319 Speaker 2: so to speak in the league, was you know, making 34 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,199 Speaker 2: plays down the field. 35 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 3: But you know it's not just myself. You know, all 36 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,480 Speaker 3: of us can run. Leak can run. Jalen can run, even. 37 00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 4: You know one Dale's many as many legs. 38 00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:36,039 Speaker 2: Be moving, you know, so he can run too, So 39 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 2: you know, and it's shown, you know, over over ot 40 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: is shown. You know, I think everybody's probably to touch 41 00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,319 Speaker 2: the ball down the field from Russ at some point. 42 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 2: So think it'll help everybody be able to stretch the 43 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:47,039 Speaker 2: field and add some you know yards per catches. 44 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 5: Progress from Jaalen this year, this summer or this spring 45 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 5: the other. 46 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, he definitely you know what he was eating maybe 47 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: people or something. He came back slowed up, so he 48 00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 2: put on a good about twenty team twenty pounds, I think. 49 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,320 Speaker 4: So he's definitely he's been stronger. He looks he looks big, 50 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:03,840 Speaker 4: he looks. 51 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,040 Speaker 2: Stronger, and that's definitely, you know, helped his game some 52 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 2: and I think I think he's definitely made stride so. 53 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:10,480 Speaker 3: Far the spring. How would you describe your chemistry with 54 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:12,400 Speaker 3: Russ so far? Good? 55 00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 2: It's honestly, it's been pretty smooth, like it feels it 56 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,080 Speaker 2: feels like it feels like he's been here longer than 57 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,120 Speaker 2: he has and I sure, I'm sure some of that 58 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:23,520 Speaker 2: attributes his experience, and he has a very clear vision 59 00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 2: of what he wants. 60 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 3: He's a very clear communicator. 61 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:27,920 Speaker 2: So you know, as long as your ears work, all 62 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 2: you got to do is listen and do what you 63 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,240 Speaker 2: need he needs you to do, and you know, the 64 00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: rest takes care of yourself. 65 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:32,720 Speaker 3: What is that? 66 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 4: What is that? 67 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 3: That? What you say? 68 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,400 Speaker 5: It's a clear communicator. Can you give me an example? 69 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, so, like an example of so he does still 70 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 2: a very good deep all right, But that's obviously his mentality. 71 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 2: He wants to push the ball down the field and attack. 72 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,800 Speaker 2: So if we're in the huddle, we have a play, 73 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:48,440 Speaker 2: and you know there's certain plays where the ball designed 74 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 2: to go certain places, and so in his head, he 75 00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 2: might you know, be in hoble to be like, hey, 76 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 2: you got the post here, but like you're not dead, 77 00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,000 Speaker 2: you know, because a lot of times you might run 78 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 2: a you know, a post corner whatever, different concepts, and 79 00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 2: the guy underneath always gets the ball, always gets the ball. 80 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: So you're got running deeper, just kind of like running 81 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,040 Speaker 2: for the love. But be like, hey, alert here, like 82 00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:05,239 Speaker 2: the safety drives, I'll give it to you. And he's 83 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: done that multiple times over camp, and so that's that's 84 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 2: kind of what I mean by like, Okay, it gives 85 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: you some like all right, you're gonna run anyways, but 86 00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 2: it gives you a little extra juice of like I 87 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 2: can really get the ball right here. 88 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 3: The QB room a lot has been made, as you know, 89 00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 3: the most interesting in the league. 90 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 2: Yeah, it is a it's an interesting compilation of individuals. 91 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: But you know, Jamis and Russ are you know that 92 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: veteran presence. Jamis is a wild card though just as 93 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 2: a human being, you know, so having his personality around 94 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,880 Speaker 2: is is amazing. But also you know, they both have 95 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 2: great presence in leadership about them. 96 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,760 Speaker 3: You know, you see the. 97 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 2: Age is probably a little rude, the seasoning in both 98 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: of them, you know, the veteran leadership. They both have 99 00:03:46,240 --> 00:03:47,840 Speaker 2: and also you know you have dark you know, the 100 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320 Speaker 2: kind of the young kid. He's kind of learning to 101 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: find his way, but he has two good mentors to 102 00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 2: learn from. 103 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 5: What's wild card there? Jamus System. 104 00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: It's like it's so hard to describe. It's just like 105 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: like how I'm talking right now. He'll be talking just 106 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 2: like this, and it's just the random thoughts that come 107 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 2: to his head and they just come out and it's 108 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:10,120 Speaker 2: like we were talking about, you know, a slant how 109 00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 2: did we get to Kentucky Fried Chicken? It's like just 110 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,440 Speaker 2: hard lefts, Like I can't think of an exact example, 111 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 2: but like that's how best how I could describe. It's 112 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 2: just like random hard left. But then he comes right 113 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 2: back on topics. It's like am My trippering? 114 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:25,279 Speaker 3: A you tripping? But you know he's a really fun 115 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:25,919 Speaker 3: got to be around. 116 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 4: Is that a good thing that would kind of keep 117 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 4: you on your. 118 00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: Toes because like I said, he has the most unique 119 00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:36,120 Speaker 2: bounce I've ever seen of like light but serious. So 120 00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,560 Speaker 2: he's very serious, like because he's a quarterback, so he's 121 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,520 Speaker 2: very knowledge but he's very serious when he needs to 122 00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 2: be serious. But at the same time, he has a 123 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,719 Speaker 2: light energy about him, so it keeps you know, people calm, 124 00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,720 Speaker 2: you know, so it's not like you're not like nervous 125 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:49,280 Speaker 2: to play with him. 126 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:49,600 Speaker 3: You know. 127 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,080 Speaker 1: That such a unique group, and we talked to you 128 00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,040 Speaker 1: after you resigned. It was totally on sublink. Tommy was 129 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:55,880 Speaker 1: probably the only guy under contract. What was it like 130 00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:58,520 Speaker 1: seeing these pieces come together, just like your reaction as 131 00:04:58,520 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 1: they did that. 132 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, free agency is always chaos, you know. So I 133 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,599 Speaker 2: think I think besign James first, So you know, that 134 00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,880 Speaker 2: was you know, obviously it was like great, cool. You know, 135 00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 2: we've got a veteran quarterback who's who succeeded selfishly as 136 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:13,320 Speaker 2: a receiver. Everybody's been receivers eight so I was like, hey, 137 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,040 Speaker 2: you know, cool with me. But I mean obviously then 138 00:05:16,040 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 2: we win and got Russ a little bit while later. 139 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: You know, you add somebody who's been a champion, a 140 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,839 Speaker 2: ten time pro bowler, you know, a true pro, and 141 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: you know, you look at the room and then we 142 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,039 Speaker 2: obviously we drafted Dark, so you know, you kind of 143 00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:27,840 Speaker 2: have your young gun who's you know, at one point 144 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:29,440 Speaker 2: going to get his chance to shine and show what 145 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 2: he can do. So, you know, I think we have 146 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 2: a good combination of guys, you. 147 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:39,280 Speaker 5: Seem pretty energy for number nine? Is that because these 148 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 5: quarterbacks because of of you've got a contract. 149 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 3: You know, you're not your year here. 150 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,000 Speaker 5: I mean, why why is it true that you are 151 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:48,920 Speaker 5: kind of jacked up a little bit here? 152 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 2: I would say, so, you know, because you're having fun. 153 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 2: You know, OTAs is like, is the funnest form of 154 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: football because practice don't kill you like camp does. But 155 00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 2: for receivers you get a chance to run around, get 156 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,360 Speaker 2: open and guts the ball, you know, score touchdowns to 157 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: make play. 158 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: So in my opinion, you know, OTAs is the most fun. 159 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 2: As a as a receiver because you get the fun 160 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,599 Speaker 2: stuff without killing yourself and being dog tired. 161 00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 5: Now, in o these years you've had otah, sure you 162 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 5: felt that way, but do you feel any different now 163 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 5: with these quarterbacks we have there a terrible season and 164 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 5: you know, feeling that there's a light at the end 165 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 5: of the tunnel because remember the last year you were 166 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 5: pretty down on. 167 00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 2: A Yeah, yeah, I definitely think that we have a 168 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 2: lot of new energy period, just in the quarterback room, 169 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 2: in the receiver room. You know, we've had some of 170 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 2: our young guys UDFA guys have came in and played 171 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 2: a really good ball, So I think I think that's probably. 172 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 3: Part of it. 173 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 2: Now I'm you know, older, you know, so just kind 174 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 2: of feeling the youth, you know, life. 175 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,880 Speaker 3: Of youth around me. Do you think do you think 176 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 3: validated your decision to come back more? Does that energy? Yeah? 177 00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:46,720 Speaker 4: For sure. 178 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 2: You know, obviously I came back because you know, I 179 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 2: was confident in the direction that we were going to 180 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: go in. And obviously, once you make the acquisitions, you know, 181 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 2: obviously a lot of people, mostly folks on the quarterback position, 182 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,120 Speaker 2: you know, once we you know, acquired the guys we 183 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,279 Speaker 2: have now, you know, that obviously just raised the confidence 184 00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:00,800 Speaker 2: level of all right, we have a chance to be 185 00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 2: a really really good offense. 186 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,360 Speaker 4: How do you think the offense looked today? 187 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:06,560 Speaker 3: We did? We did. 188 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,360 Speaker 2: We started fast, and then we kind of had some lulls. 189 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 2: Most of it was like mental error lows, though not 190 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 2: physical errors, you know, just a little you know, OTA's 191 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: there's a lot of stuff in at once, so you're 192 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 2: gonna have some of that. But you know, we did 193 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,120 Speaker 2: a good job of riding that wave and then we. 194 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,440 Speaker 3: Ended up finishing practice strong. 195 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 2: So you know, it was honestly indicative of a game, 196 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 2: you know, you might start fast, it's gonna be a 197 00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 2: rough part and got to find a way to finish strong. 198 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: With Russ. How do you do with Jackson this fight? 199 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: You gets to maybe one rep, you said, at some 200 00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: point he's obviously gonna come in. You're gonna win, that'll 201 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 1: be So how do you go about trying to establish 202 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: with him as well as Russ? 203 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, he pops in our group a good amount, Like probably, 204 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 2: I don't I don't really know exactly how many, but 205 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: I know that I've been in the huddle and I 206 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:46,400 Speaker 2: don't always look at the quarterback. 207 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 3: So you know, I've been in the hunt. 208 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 2: I've heard different boys and been like, oh you're in 209 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 2: And so you know, he's he's had a chance, you know, 210 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 2: to get his reps here and there. But you know, 211 00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 2: I know he's learning. Like I said, and O, ts 212 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 2: are so much information in for a quarterback. It's super hard, 213 00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,680 Speaker 2: you know. So, but he's done a good job of 214 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 2: coming along. He seems like a smart kid. He definitely 215 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,400 Speaker 2: can spin it, for sure, you can. You can see 216 00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: the arm tile without a doubt. So you know, I think, 217 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:09,000 Speaker 2: I think, you know, he's got a chance to be 218 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:09,840 Speaker 2: a good football player.
