0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.240
<v Speaker 1>What do you feels going on? If you're play right now?

0:00:02.720 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm just making you know, there's times where I feel

0:00:04.720 --> 0:00:07.040
<v Speaker 1>good and I'm making some mistakes. Um. It's as simple

0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.720
<v Speaker 1>as that. You know, I just gotta keep being critical myself,

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.840
<v Speaker 1>keep watching the film, understand what's going on. Um, and

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, just I just to keep playing, keep going

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:17.880
<v Speaker 1>through it. Um. Obviously I haven't been myself UM, and

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:20.119
<v Speaker 1>I expect a lot of myself. But you know, I

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep looking at keep learning. I've I've played this

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>game a long time, so I know how to you know,

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:28.080
<v Speaker 1>address this and just keep moving forward, um and keeping

0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>that positive outlook. You know, I'm just making mistakes. I

0:00:33.320 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>don't I have to go look at the film. UM.

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:37.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, for me, it's just getting back into rhythm,

0:00:38.120 --> 0:00:41.199
<v Speaker 1>um playing ball. Uh. We had an opportunity to win

0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.239
<v Speaker 1>the day. That's on me. UM. I made too many

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>mistakes at critical times that hurt us as a team.

0:00:45.520 --> 0:00:47.280
<v Speaker 1>So if I, you know, I clean that up, we

0:00:47.280 --> 0:00:49.000
<v Speaker 1>win this game. But I thought the Browns, you know,

0:00:49.000 --> 0:00:51.879
<v Speaker 1>they played really hard. Um. They you know, they're improving

0:00:51.920 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>that team. You can tell how they're flying around and

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.640
<v Speaker 1>what they're doing. Um. You know, they played real well obviously. Um,

0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.440
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, I gotta, you know, continue to keep working.

0:01:01.640 --> 0:01:05.039
<v Speaker 1>Don't look you how to clean pocket, you know, I mean,

0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>that's that's football. I have to do a better job

0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.320
<v Speaker 1>of stepping into the pocket, moving around, protecting the ball

0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:11.600
<v Speaker 1>in the pocket. Um, that's on me helping those guys out.

0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>They fight for me every single down. So um, that's

0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>where you know, the field of the game, the rhythm

0:01:15.440 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 1>of the game. Just continue to work the pocket, I

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>mean the pockets not always. You're gonna have to work

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:20.319
<v Speaker 1>here a little bit. And I need to do a

0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>better job of that. What happens in the next two

0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.840
<v Speaker 1>weeks to make everything to come together, you know what,

0:01:27.040 --> 0:01:29.039
<v Speaker 1>sort of take a breath. I go see my daughter,

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 1>I see my wife. I do it. I always do,

0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>because this game sometimes can sort of you sort of

0:01:34.200 --> 0:01:36.280
<v Speaker 1>get it and trapped in it. And that's that's part

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.280
<v Speaker 1>of it. Um. But for me right now, you know,

0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:40.319
<v Speaker 1>that's the most important thing I'll do. And then I'll

0:01:40.319 --> 0:01:41.840
<v Speaker 1>go back to the film, I'll go back to work.

0:01:42.120 --> 0:01:44.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll be critical, and I'll keep working day in and

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>day out with these guys, the guys in the locker room,

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>to to improve and fix what's going on. I mean,

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:52.200
<v Speaker 1>that's the challenge of sports is facing adversity, and you

0:01:52.200 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>know we're facing the adversity in the preseason right now.

0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:56.600
<v Speaker 1>We're trying to you know, figure out our DNA on

0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:58.120
<v Speaker 1>offense and doing that. But you know, I have all

0:01:58.160 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>the confidence in the world and everyone. I confident in

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>myself to continue to improve. And you know that that's

0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:05.040
<v Speaker 1>the great thing about this team is you know we're

0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:06.800
<v Speaker 1>going to continue to work together, lean on each other

0:02:06.840 --> 0:02:09.200
<v Speaker 1>in this time, and we're going to be better for it.

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>In the case that you do, do you feel like

0:02:12.639 --> 0:02:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you guys can just snap your fingers in the offense

0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:19.440
<v Speaker 1>just get rolling here after kind of I don't think

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 1>you can just snap your fingers. No. Um, that's where

0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, we'll get back to work. We have a

0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of work to do. Um, it's not going to

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:27.600
<v Speaker 1>be easy. But that's why we're here. That's why you

0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>know we're part of this team. That's why we're in

0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:31.560
<v Speaker 1>the NFL is we know that we know that we

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:33.239
<v Speaker 1>have to be critical of ourselves and we have to

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>get back to work, get back to the basics and

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>just sort of you know, play our kind of ball

0:02:38.240 --> 0:02:40.400
<v Speaker 1>and you know that's you know, moving the ball around,

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.680
<v Speaker 1>running the ball, throwing deep, throwing short screens, you know,

0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:46.560
<v Speaker 1>just execution. We were we weren't clean on execution to night.

0:02:46.600 --> 0:02:48.400
<v Speaker 1>We haven't been as clean as we want to be

0:02:48.440 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>on execution throughout the preseason and we know that, and

0:02:51.280 --> 0:02:52.760
<v Speaker 1>so all the guys in the locker room, we're gonna

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.800
<v Speaker 1>get back to work like we always do and just

0:02:54.919 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 1>continue this bond that we have happened with us, this

0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:03.519
<v Speaker 1>message to the offensive that time. I mean, we just

0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:06.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta pick it up. We know that. Um, he shouldn't

0:03:06.520 --> 0:03:08.160
<v Speaker 1>have to say that, but you know, just that we

0:03:08.200 --> 0:03:09.440
<v Speaker 1>have to pick it up. We have to clean it up,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:10.880
<v Speaker 1>and we gotta put points on the board. We have

0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.519
<v Speaker 1>to help our defense out. They played lights out tonight

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.079
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, they kept us in the game,

0:03:16.160 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 1>so we have to do a better job of helping

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 1>them mount and putting points on the board. No, I don't.

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.360
<v Speaker 1>I know that this game is a process and that

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>I've played this game my whole life, and I haven't

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.800
<v Speaker 1>always played great games. Um there's times where, uh, these

0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>are the toughest ones where you just have to keep battling. Um,

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>it really shows you what you're made up deep inside. Um,

0:03:42.040 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>and I was gonna keep firing it no matter what

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean. I didn't want to throw any more picks,

0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.360
<v Speaker 1>but I'm throwing them. I was gonna keep firing the ball. Um.

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>You can't. You can't play with fear. Um. I didn't

0:03:50.760 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>play as clean as I wanted to. But I know that,

0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>knowing me, I knowing this team, that we're gonna learn

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>from and move forward. Um. There's a lot of great

0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>stuff to learn from from this game. Um. It's an

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.480
<v Speaker 1>emotional game. It's not fun playing the way I did.

0:04:02.040 --> 0:04:03.680
<v Speaker 1>I really hurt us tonight, But I know that I

0:04:03.720 --> 0:04:05.839
<v Speaker 1>can improve, and I will improve. Some of your best

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:09.440
<v Speaker 1>games have followed immediately some of your worst games. I

0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>think that the game was before stame after that Dallas game.

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>It's been a kind of a recurring feam any idea

0:04:18.000 --> 0:04:20.120
<v Speaker 1>why and had to kind of work for those those times.

0:04:20.720 --> 0:04:22.480
<v Speaker 1>That's just you know, you play this game, you're gonna

0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>be analyzed. Everyone's gonna analyze your every move. Everyone's gonna

0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>look for perfection. And we're not perfect people. I'm not

0:04:28.040 --> 0:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a perfect player. I have not had a perfect game, UM,

0:04:31.760 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and I never will. But you know, that's just sort

0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.480
<v Speaker 1>of how it's gone. But I've learned a lot through

0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:39.280
<v Speaker 1>those games. That's where I can lean on all those experiences,

0:04:39.279 --> 0:04:41.640
<v Speaker 1>like I said, and you know, do what I did

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.159
<v Speaker 1>then and just continue to improve and you know, not

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:46.800
<v Speaker 1>be too hard on myself while being hard on myself,

0:04:46.839 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>because you're too hard on yourself all the time, you're

0:04:48.520 --> 0:04:51.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna crumble. So, UM, I'm excited about getting back to work,

0:04:51.720 --> 0:04:54.800
<v Speaker 1>working with the guys in its locker room. I'm optimistic

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.800
<v Speaker 1>about it. I mean there's a lot of learning tonight.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.679
<v Speaker 1>I mean I was learning in this preseason game playing

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:03.280
<v Speaker 1>like that. I mean I build a database of information

0:05:03.320 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>that I can pull from now. Um. And it only

0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:18.360
<v Speaker 1>happened in and a half, so how much you know what?

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:21.520
<v Speaker 1>We had opportunities tonight to score and you know we

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>we made mistakes. Um, we hurt ourselves. Obviously, you want

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.320
<v Speaker 1>those guys to be healthy and be out there. But

0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:30.440
<v Speaker 1>there's no reason we couldn't put points on the board tonight.

0:05:30.520 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, I made a you know, we had a

0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.200
<v Speaker 1>turnover in the red zone. I I threw a pick

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.880
<v Speaker 1>in the red zone. Um, you know, and then the

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:39.200
<v Speaker 1>other terms that hurts us. Um, so we can't have that.

0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:40.760
<v Speaker 1>We I mean, we can't expect to win with that

0:05:40.880 --> 0:05:43.440
<v Speaker 1>many turnovers. We have to play a lot cleaner. Um.

0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I thought there's a lot of good stuff tonight. I

0:05:44.960 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>mean we're gonna you know, obviously it was a tough game,

0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.320
<v Speaker 1>but there's a lot of great stuff. I thought a

0:05:48.360 --> 0:05:50.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys played well. Um, you know, we were

0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.279
<v Speaker 1>able to move the ball on a couple of series

0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.040
<v Speaker 1>and sort of get things going. And you know, we

0:05:54.120 --> 0:05:56.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of show ourselves in the foot a couple of times.

0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.240
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's where we're gonna look back and

0:05:58.279 --> 0:06:01.480
<v Speaker 1>just improve and um be critical of ourselves in those moments.

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:06.560
<v Speaker 1>As you know, all eyes are on Parsonal. You said

0:06:06.640 --> 0:06:12.359
<v Speaker 1>you want to get back. What's your mindset though, I

0:06:12.400 --> 0:06:14.200
<v Speaker 1>mean we get ready. I mean we get ready as

0:06:14.240 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>a team. I do what I've always done. You prepare

0:06:16.040 --> 0:06:18.680
<v Speaker 1>to play. Um. Obviously, you know there's a lot going

0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.359
<v Speaker 1>on with this game in the last couple of weeks.

0:06:20.360 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 1>But um, you go, I go back, I study film,

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.560
<v Speaker 1>I do my prep week like I've done. I get

0:06:25.560 --> 0:06:28.240
<v Speaker 1>the body right. Um, continue to bomb with the guys

0:06:28.240 --> 0:06:35.200
<v Speaker 1>in the locker room and get ready to roll tonight. Yeah,

0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I think Deandres played really well. He's one of the

0:06:36.800 --> 0:06:38.520
<v Speaker 1>guys that I thought played really well to night. Um,

0:06:38.560 --> 0:06:41.080
<v Speaker 1>he's played well throughout the preseason. Um for a guy

0:06:41.120 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>who's newer to the team, I think he does a

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of great things. He's got a wide range where

0:06:45.320 --> 0:06:47.440
<v Speaker 1>he can catch from. Um, he uses his hands well,

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.000
<v Speaker 1>one runs really good route. So I've been really impressed

0:06:50.000 --> 0:06:55.560
<v Speaker 1>with how he's played. Yeah. Yeah, my foot sort of

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>got caught and I was trying to get up, So

0:06:56.960 --> 0:07:00.400
<v Speaker 1>that was unfortunate. Was saying that. The offense it's pretty

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.800
<v Speaker 1>vanilla right now. I mean when you go into these games,

0:07:02.920 --> 0:07:04.680
<v Speaker 1>you're just trying to work on your bass plays, your

0:07:04.680 --> 0:07:06.840
<v Speaker 1>foundation plays, or how do you kind of approach your

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:09.360
<v Speaker 1>game playing line. Yeah, I mean preseason. Um, I mean

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:11.560
<v Speaker 1>we're still you know, we still plays right a role. Um,

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.280
<v Speaker 1>it's our job. It's my job to make sure that

0:07:13.320 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>they're executed right. And UM, you know I didn't do

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 1>my job, um the last couple of weeks to make

0:07:18.560 --> 0:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>sure that you know, we executed the plays at our
