1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Rock, We're going to start here in the back. Okay,

2
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: Hi Brock.

3
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,360
Speaker 2: Melissa Jacobs from Good Game youth sports newsletter. So I'm

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:14,240
Speaker 2: wondering how playing flag football until age twelve helped prepare

5
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,960
Speaker 2: you for tackle football and if you think that your

6
00:00:18,079 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 2: path is the way of the future.

7
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, like you said, I played up until

8
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 3: I was about twelve, and I think it just helped

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:28,280
Speaker 3: us with the speed of the game it was. It

10
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 3: was a quick game. I think hand eye coordination, all

11
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 3: that kind of stuff really did develop for me, you know,

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 3: throughout my years of playing flag football. Obviously being able

13
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: to juke and cut and move in certain ways just

14
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 3: from the way the sport is helped me for tackle football.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 3: I feel like when I started playing tackle football it

16
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,360
Speaker 3: was a little slower actually because of just the pace

17
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: of the game compared to flag. So anytime I'm talking

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,600
Speaker 3: family and friends, I always encourage, you know, kids growing

19
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 3: up to start off with flag football and play, you know,

20
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 3: really as long as they can to help develop those

21
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 3: kind of skills.

22
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 4: Rock, do you feel like this week has been or

23
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 4: these last two weeks have been normal weeks as far

24
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,720
Speaker 4: as your preparation heading into this game and what's been

25
00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 4: the biggest challenge for you to try to make it

26
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: as normal as possible.

27
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like, you know, last last week, you know,

28
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 3: Kyle and obviously just the staff in general did a

29
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 3: great job with you know, treating it like it was

30
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: a normal game week in terms of you know, our

31
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:30,680
Speaker 3: installs and and our routine and our schedules, so that

32
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 3: all felt pretty normal, and and the challenges. You know,

33
00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:36,759
Speaker 3: you get through the week and then you don't play

34
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 3: on Sunday. So for us it was, you know, you

35
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 3: put in all this you know work of studying and

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 3: preparation and obviously practicing, and then you're not playing on Sunday,

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,080
Speaker 3: so that that was a little odd.

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: But obviously this week same thing.

39
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 3: Knocked out some media stuff really in the week, and

40
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 3: then today it felt good to get back out there

41
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,200
Speaker 3: and get back into our routine.

42
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: Yes, oh over here.

43
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 4: Brock, can you just describe what the practice field is like.

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: We've heard a lot about it this week. Just what

45
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: are your impressions of it? Haven't haven't been on it today?

46
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:13,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean today we didn't have as an aggressive

47
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:15,840
Speaker 3: practice just in terms of the hard running, the cutting

48
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 3: and stuff that's tomorrow. So but today I feel like

49
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 3: it was pretty good just in terms of us getting

50
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 3: out there and and sort of you.

51
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,240
Speaker 1: Know, moving around, you know, light running and whatnot. So

52
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: that was that. So we'll see tomorrow though, how it is.

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 5: Rock.

54
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,320
Speaker 6: Your first passes were against the Chiefs in that blowout

55
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 6: loss uh last last season. Jed York's said, you threw

56
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 6: a ball in the stands. I don't recall that happening.

57
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 6: You did throw a pick, but what what are your

58
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 6: memories of that game and what your emotions is like?

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 6: You know, here I am.

60
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,440
Speaker 1: Playing in the NFL.

61
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously the score and the game is sort of

62
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 3: out of reach, and I went in at the end

63
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 3: and trying to get some reps and I'm not gonna

64
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,240
Speaker 3: lie was it was going pretty fast. Just was my

65
00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 3: first NFL action and I'm dropping back, and you know,

66
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 3: for me, I was like, I think, I don't know

67
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: if Chris Jones is in, but I was like, man,

68
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 3: Chris Jones is there? Frank Clark on the edge. So

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 3: for me, my mind was racing pretty fast, and I

70
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 3: was trying to get through reads pretty quickly and definitely

71
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 3: did feel rushed. I'm not gonna lie I did, but

72
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: you know, there was some plays where I was able

73
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 3: to make some throws and get into a rhythm. And

74
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 3: then obviously at the end I sailed one over Juan's

75
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: head for an interception. But just where the game was

76
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 3: at was a little weird, you know, it was out

77
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 3: of reach, and then I was just trying to go

78
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: in and get my first action and get.

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: Into a rhythm. So yeah, it is what it is.

80
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 3: But you know, obviously I learned from it, and I

81
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: feel like when Week thirteen came around it that game

82
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 3: and those reps actually did help me, you know, be

83
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 3: prepared for my opportunity.

84
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 7: Rocky, You're facing a defensive coordinator in Steve Spagnola who's

85
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,360
Speaker 7: renowned for throwing a lot at a pros and quarterbacks,

86
00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 7: but your defense is not successful well in terms of

87
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 7: just guys and coverages, particularly on that fourth down against Detroit.

88
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 7: I'm just wondering how facing them helps you prepare for

89
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 7: the challenge you go on someday.

90
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

91
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 3: You know, obviously, I think they do a great job

92
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 3: with you know, being sound and what they do, and

93
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 3: then also bringing some pressure at times, you know, sort

94
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 3: of get the quarterback, you know, off schedule and and

95
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 3: just different looks they sprinkle in. So but yeah, going

96
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 3: back to like camp, you know, we've seen a lot

97
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 3: of different pressure looks and stuff from our defense and

98
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 3: and you know we've had some good looks, you know,

99
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 3: obviously going against Fred and Dre and.

100
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:35,919
Speaker 1: Those and those guys.

101
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 3: So that's all that's you know, sort of good for

102
00:04:38,480 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 3: us to sink back and have that kind of experience.

103
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: But at the same time, you know, Spags does a

104
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 3: good job I think with you know, calm plays and

105
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 3: pressures when you least expected and and you know, try

106
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,279
Speaker 3: to get get the offense caught off guard. So that's

107
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:55,600
Speaker 3: the challenge, honestly. So it's gonna come down to the

108
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 3: heat of the battle, you know, being able to be

109
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 3: ready for it and make the right decisions when they come.

110
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:04,359
Speaker 5: Yep Ka, you've been very vocal about your faith and

111
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 5: identity in Christ. What is a verse or a passage

112
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 5: in the Bible that you hold on too in first

113
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: facing adversity in the NFL.

114
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 3: I've said a lot, you know, in the press conferences,

115
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: but Psalm twenty three, you know, even when I go

116
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: through the darkest valley, I fear no danger for you

117
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 3: or with me. You're Rod and your staff, they come

118
00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 3: for me. And then it also talks about how God

119
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 3: prepares the table before me, even in the presence of

120
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 3: my enemy. So even though all the craziness is going

121
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 3: on for me, I'm all right, God's with me. He's

122
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: right here in this moment, and it gives me peace.

123
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: It gives me, you know, just the calmness, the steadfastness,

124
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,680
Speaker 3: and so yeah, in those moments, that's what I can

125
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 3: sink back to a rock middle.

126
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: Yes.

127
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,360
Speaker 8: Ah, from the very beginning the locker room, your teammates

128
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 8: have been very supportive of you, their their confidence, their

129
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 8: belief in you based on what they had seen from

130
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 8: you in practice. At what point in your starting career

131
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 8: did you feel like you had earned all that trust

132
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 8: and faith based on what you did in the in

133
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 8: the games.

134
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean last year, you know, when I stepped in,

135
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 3: we were all we were on a roll as a team,

136
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 3: just obviously we had the Super Bowl on our minds

137
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 3: and on in our sights. So you know, for for me,

138
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 3: really it was all right, we're rolling. I'm just continuing

139
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 3: to do what Jimmy had done uh before, and and

140
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 3: didn't want to, you know, lose a step or take

141
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 3: a step back.

142
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: As an offense.

143
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,560
Speaker 3: So for for me, I didn't really know or understand

144
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 3: until probably this year.

145
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: You know, you know, we went on a roll. We're

146
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: five and.

147
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 3: Zero, and then honestly, when we you know, went on

148
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,599
Speaker 3: a streak of losing some games. That's I feel like

149
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,599
Speaker 3: when you start, you know, questioning and seeing how guys

150
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: respond to you, and my team had my back. You know,

151
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 3: even through those three games that we lost in a row,

152
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,960
Speaker 3: you had guys on defense, Drake Greenlaw Fred and Eric Armstead,

153
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 3: like all those guys continue to come up to me

154
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:55,080
Speaker 3: and say, dude, we got your back.

155
00:06:55,279 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 1: You know, this is the NFL. It's not easy.

156
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,600
Speaker 3: And so it was in those moments that I knew

157
00:06:59,640 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 3: I was all right, these guys got my back and

158
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 3: we can go right.

159
00:07:03,360 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 8: Hey, Brock, after your injury in the NFC Championship last

160
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 8: year and looking at the improvements that you made coming

161
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 8: into this season, where in your game do you think

162
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 8: that you made the biggest strides?

163
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

164
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: I think you know, last year when I first got in,

165
00:07:16,480 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 3: you know, there was times where I feel like I

166
00:07:18,760 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 3: really wasn't you know, playing the position of quarterback like

167
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:23,520
Speaker 3: like I needed to and wanted to. I feel like

168
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 3: I was, you know, sort of quick to get out

169
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:28,280
Speaker 3: of the pocket at some points and rush out and

170
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 3: not trust progressions and trust the boys up front. So

171
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: I feel like this year I've done a little bit

172
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 3: better of a job of staying within the pocket, going

173
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 3: through some reads, taking some checkdowns, throwing.

174
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,080
Speaker 1: The ball away when I need to.

175
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 3: You know, obviously there's been some times and moments where

176
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,480
Speaker 3: you know, I've been too aggressive and haven't had interceptions

177
00:07:44,480 --> 00:07:48,000
Speaker 3: and stuff, but I mean that happens, and so but

178
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: I think a big jump for me this year is

179
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 3: just playing playing the position and not trying to be

180
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 3: Superman every play when something's not there.

181
00:07:55,520 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 9: So, Brock, you mentioned you had a lot of meeting

182
00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 9: full conversations with the veterans of this team about navigating

183
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 9: this Super Bowl experience. What's been the most helpful piece

184
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:07,200
Speaker 9: of advice you've gotten.

185
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, not making it you know what it's not. And

186
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: I've heard a lot of guys say, you know, it's

187
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 3: a big moment, it's a big game, it could be

188
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 3: the biggest game of your life kind of thing.

189
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: But what it comes down to is it's eleven on eleven.

190
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: It's football. At the end of the day.

191
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 3: You can't get wrapped up and all this stuff outside

192
00:08:25,400 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 3: what's going on throughout the week, and we're here for

193
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: a reason. You know, what we've done all year has

194
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 3: gotten us here, and so we can obviously have confidence

195
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 3: in that. You know, what we've done all year has

196
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 3: been good enough, and we just got to continue to

197
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: do that for that from multiple of the vets.

198
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 10: So, Brock, your teammates say that impersonations are among your

199
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 10: many talents. I believe sirens. We had SpongeBob the other night.

200
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 10: Maybe some teammates coaches. When did you first realize you

201
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 10: can do that? And how do you use that in

202
00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:54,720
Speaker 10: the building?

203
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean growing up, my dad was pretty good

204
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 3: with impersonations, and so I think I picked up from him,

205
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 3: just whether it was family, friends, teammates.

206
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: Growing up.

207
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,760
Speaker 3: I feel like I've always done some impersonations and they've

208
00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 3: been they've been pretty well.

209
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:10,720
Speaker 1: But I don't know.

210
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:12,640
Speaker 3: I'll do it sometimes when we're in the huddle or

211
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 3: something to sort of just you know, show them that,

212
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 3: all right, Brocks, you know, he's calm, he's cool and collected.

213
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,720
Speaker 3: Here he's joking around, so it's all good.

214
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,719
Speaker 1: So I feel like.

215
00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 3: There's times and moments where I do it, but I

216
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,880
Speaker 3: don't go around trying to impersonate everybody all time.

217
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 11: So Hi, Brocotts can test a brewer from CNBC. When

218
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,440
Speaker 11: you started, I guess in gambling terms, you would have

219
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 11: been considered a long shot. Give me a sense of

220
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 11: whether being underestimated is actually an advantage.

221
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like it can be.

222
00:09:47,360 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 3: You know, I think, you know, earlier in earlier this year,

223
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,400
Speaker 3: you know, there's not a lot of talk or buzz

224
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 3: really about I guess myself, and not that I listened

225
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 3: to it and buy into all of it, but it's

226
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: almost like, all right, I still have to go and

227
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 3: and play with that chip on my shoulder and improve

228
00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 3: to my teammates that you know, I can be the

229
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:04,600
Speaker 3: guy for this team.

230
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 1: I feel like I had some stuff to prove still.

231
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 3: Obviously last year I played seven eight games or whatever

232
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 3: that was, and and it was all good, but it

233
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:14,800
Speaker 3: wasn't a whole season, so there's a lot of questions,

234
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 3: and so for me it was all right. So I

235
00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 3: got to go out there and prove to myself, you know,

236
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 3: I can do this, and to my team that I

237
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 3: can be the guy.

238
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:23,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, there.

239
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,640
Speaker 3: Wasn't a big you know, spotlight on me or anything

240
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 3: like that. So like you sort of want to make

241
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,520
Speaker 3: a name for yourself kind of thing, you know, throughout

242
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:33,680
Speaker 3: the year and early on. So I feel like it

243
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 3: has been sort of of an advantage for sure.

244
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:38,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, now that you.

245
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,480
Speaker 1: Have a year under your belt.

246
00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 12: What was the biggest difference between learning Iowa State's playbook

247
00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:42,959
Speaker 12: and the forty nine ers playbook?

248
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 6: Was there any similarities in burbiage and was there any

249
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 6: you know, crossover in the playbook as far as schematics.

250
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like, you know, concepts and stuff are

251
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 3: pretty similar. I'm not gonna lie from from what we

252
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:54,719
Speaker 3: ran at Iowa.

253
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: State to what we do now.

254
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,160
Speaker 3: Just the differences, like just the way of call it's

255
00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,439
Speaker 3: football compared to the NFL. Being in a huddle, reciting plays,

256
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:08,600
Speaker 3: long plays, multiple plays all in one, you know, standing

257
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: telling them you know, my O line.

258
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:11,320
Speaker 1: Receives everybody what we're doing.

259
00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 3: There's just a lot more communication, Like just that aspect,

260
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,120
Speaker 3: there's more of it. You know, in college, you're getting

261
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 3: the signal from the sideline and then everyone's looking and

262
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 3: then you line up real quick and try to run

263
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 3: the play. In the NFL like you're looking guys in

264
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: the eyes and telling them, hey, this is the play

265
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:27,960
Speaker 3: and this is what we have to do.

266
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:31,080
Speaker 1: But as a quarterback, I like that just.

267
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 3: Because you can see the play in your head better

268
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 3: and you've got to say it multiple times and and

269
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 3: I feel like it's just a little bit more clear

270
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,199
Speaker 3: to me in my mind. So those are the differences,

271
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,560
Speaker 3: And it's not knocking college football or anything. It's just

272
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:44,839
Speaker 3: the differences and the way it is.

273
00:11:45,040 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 13: So from multimedios in Mexico. Two questions. First, how when

274
00:11:55,120 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 13: you entered some starting quarterback with the forty nine ers

275
00:11:57,720 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 13: there were so many offensive players, established players like Deebo Samon,

276
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,079
Speaker 13: Christian McCaffey, Josh Kittle. How are you able to connect

277
00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:08,360
Speaker 13: with them? And second, many many people probably forgot the

278
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 13: rehab that you had to go through during the off season.

279
00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 13: How hard was said to regain the form that you

280
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 13: had last year?

281
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,559
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, So the answer the first part, I mean,

282
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: I've been myself since I got here day one. You know,

283
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:25,120
Speaker 3: obviously I've come in and I didn't really say much.

284
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:26,720
Speaker 3: I just try to learn the playbook and do my

285
00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: job and and show, you know, the guys that practice

286
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 3: that hey, I can be a trustworthy guy. If my

287
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 3: numbers called up, called upon, you know, go in, make

288
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 3: reads and make plays. And I feel like over time,

289
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:43,560
Speaker 3: you know, Trent Debo, Christian George, like they sensed that

290
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 3: they could feel it.

291
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:45,240
Speaker 1: It wasn't just all talk.

292
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 3: And obviously when I got thrown in week thirteen, it

293
00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:49,880
Speaker 3: was like, all right, let's see what you got.

294
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 1: Kind of thing.

295
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 3: And and I never really did look back from there.

296
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 3: So that's sort of just how that came to be.

297
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,559
Speaker 3: In terms of the rehab and stuff. You know, I

298
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 3: feel like it's a long process. You get cleared. I

299
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:04,199
Speaker 3: got cleared around I think like five and a half

300
00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 3: six months, and I'm not gonna lie, like, you know,

301
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 3: I was still continuing to strengthen my arm as the

302
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,880
Speaker 3: season started, and and that was the whole thing that

303
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:16,520
Speaker 3: I was dealing with. But I was good enough to play,

304
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 3: and I felt good enough for Game one and and

305
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: I mean.

306
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:21,199
Speaker 1: The rest has sort of been history.

307
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 3: But you know, I think my arm had like you

308
00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 3: just do different mobilities and exercises and stuff because of

309
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:30,240
Speaker 3: your arm and the rehab and so your arm, by nature,

310
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 3: I think, does get a little stronger. So those are

311
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 3: things that I've I've learned and will continue to do

312
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 3: you know moving forward? So, yeah, hello walk Victoria from touchdown?

313
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: Like two quick question.

314
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,680
Speaker 12: In a almost perfect season, you had one difficult game

315
00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:51,960
Speaker 12: versus Baltimore, versus a very aggressive defense, and now in

316
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:55,640
Speaker 12: the Super Buduo we'll face again a very aggressive defense

317
00:13:56,040 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 12: with the Chiefs. What this And did you learn from

318
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 12: the matchup from Baltimore? And do you think you can

319
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 12: apply what you learn during the Superbot versus the Chiefs?

320
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

321
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 3: I mean in that Baltimore game, we had a couple

322
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 3: explosive plays early on, and you know, for myself, I started,

323
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 3: you know, just feeling good about what we were doing

324
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 3: and and I sort of bought into the emotion of

325
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 3: all right, we had some big plays here, and I

326
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: can go, I can fit this this throw in now,

327
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 3: even though it wasn't even the right coverage for me

328
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 3: to do that. And so and I had learned the

329
00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 3: hard way through some interceptions, and I just I feel

330
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 3: like I wasn't playing with a clear mind at that point.

331
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 3: So that's something that I definitely learned. And obviously we're

332
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:39,080
Speaker 3: playing in the Super Bowl, another big game, and how

333
00:14:39,080 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 3: can I understand that every play has a life of

334
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,880
Speaker 3: its own. You can't just because you had a big

335
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 3: play in the last play doesn't mean this next play

336
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 3: is going to be another big play. Like the right

337
00:14:48,080 --> 00:14:50,120
Speaker 3: play might be checking it down or throwing it away.

338
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 3: So those are things I had to learn and definitely

339
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 3: take into account with. You know, how aggressive and how

340
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 3: good the Chiefs defense is.

341
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 14: Rock you talked earlier about sometimes doing a question in

342
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 14: the huddle. George is always finding the camera, especially on

343
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 14: a week like this. How important is it to remember that, yes,

344
00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 14: you're it's the seriousness of the business of football, but

345
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 14: also you're playing a game and you want to have

346
00:15:10,800 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 14: fun doing it.

347
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there's a fine line of it for sure.

348
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,080
Speaker 3: Obviously studying and and being prepared for every little situation

349
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 3: and circumstance and being ready to answer those those questions, right,

350
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,720
Speaker 3: but also you know, being able to enjoy the game.

351
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 3: We're in the Super Bowl. You dreamed of this as

352
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 3: a kid growing up. You know, you wanted to play

353
00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 3: Every kid dream playing in this game. And so I mean,

354
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 3: like George obviously gives us a great perspective every game.

355
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 3: He's always having fun joking around, but when the when

356
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 3: the ball is snapped, he's doing his job and he's

357
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 3: doing it well. So there's the fine line of it.

358
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: But I mean, at the end of the day, man

359
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 3: like this is this is something that we've all dreamed

360
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 3: of growing up and got.

361
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:49,840
Speaker 1: To be grateful for it and have fun with it.

362
00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: Thanks guys,
