1 00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:16,079 Speaker 1: Yeah, fine, anyway, finely related to the this year's challenge. 2 00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,079 Speaker 2: But last year playing. 3 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 3: Down there to play with twelve point. 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 2: Three seconds square going around finding Ramondre. 5 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 1: But what did that play ultimately mean to in terms 6 00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 1: of confidence or like any special Yeah? 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 3: Yeah, moving specially won the game. I think that's the 8 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 3: big thing. You remember that I didn't come up with 9 00:00:36,360 --> 00:00:39,080 Speaker 3: a win, made a bad scision overtime, and I had 10 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: Hunter on that play earlier, so you mind, ma, great, 11 00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,720 Speaker 3: made a great play, but yeah, I wish we came 12 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,960 Speaker 3: out with the win. So that's the goal this time 13 00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,600 Speaker 3: going down there, and uh we got a tough challenge 14 00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:52,040 Speaker 3: and they asked good guys in defense, good players. Something 15 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:53,680 Speaker 3: from last year I made some players on on me 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 3: and on us. So looking forward to getting down there. 17 00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:57,840 Speaker 3: What are the things that might be going to us 18 00:00:57,840 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 3: today about where you see you need help supporting the 19 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:03,440 Speaker 3: funny game? What does that mean to you? What does 20 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 3: that look like for you when it comes to supporting 21 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 3: guys like Romandra and Tef just giving them confidence, you know, 22 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 3: the backs, and I think up front, just getting the 23 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: line with the urgency, you know, mixed up cadence maybe 24 00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 3: a little bit I think would help keeping the keeping 25 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,680 Speaker 3: the D line on their toes. And then from there 26 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 3: just keep keep being positive, you know, I think, and 27 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,920 Speaker 3: there needs to be you know, you'll change tone a 28 00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:24,560 Speaker 3: little bit in huddle before a big run or or 29 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 3: guy on the goal line, I think, and then from 30 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 3: there just yeah, I think run game rules. Just just uh, 31 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 3: you'll get get guys going to the right you know, 32 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,319 Speaker 3: backers or wherever they need to go and get into 33 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: the right play. So that's a that's what my focus is. 34 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,080 Speaker 3: And I think I can do more of helping the 35 00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: guys out outside the play of just mojo in the 36 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 3: huddle and and uh kind of getting some emergency. 37 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:45,160 Speaker 2: Tran Couch were able to talk to a little bit 38 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 2: about how it ended for him in Tennessee and sort 39 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,520 Speaker 2: of opened up a little bit about that today for 40 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 2: you as a player, is there a little extra for 41 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 2: you and your teammates going into Tennessee on this. 42 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: Kind of a game You're nothing major? I think, uh, 43 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:00,160 Speaker 3: you know, the way coach is very able kind of 44 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 3: handles it is kind of what kind of leads into 45 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: Howroyd handle it. I think he's focused about, you know, 46 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,239 Speaker 3: this team, and I'm not worried about going back, you know, 47 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 3: to a place, see he goes for a long time 48 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: and hasn't great success, so uh, you know, he's kind 49 00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 3: of not treating like a big deal. So I think 50 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,400 Speaker 3: it's kind of bleeding to us. You know, we're treating 51 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:18,359 Speaker 3: it like a another week, another opponent, and uh, you'll 52 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: treat it the same. And I think that's the way 53 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,160 Speaker 3: he's handling is you know, the right way. What's his 54 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,919 Speaker 3: messaging been to you guys about that, Like knowing that 55 00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 3: we're gonna ask about his history there going back, and 56 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:31,639 Speaker 3: you'll definitely hear some of the noise. Yeah, I think 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,000 Speaker 3: just uh yeah, just kind of ignore some of the noise, 58 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 3: ignore some of the noise of him going back to 59 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: a place where he coached dad, of us kind of 60 00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: having some success and getting put on a you know, 61 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 3: a hype train of the success we've had. And also, uh, 62 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,560 Speaker 3: it's challenged for us to go keep proving it, you know, 63 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 3: weekend and week out, and that's what been our main 64 00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 3: focus of He'll keep going and ignore the noise and 65 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 3: know that you keep playing like this and we'll have 66 00:02:57,520 --> 00:02:58,799 Speaker 3: a real shot, you know once time you know, the 67 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:00,839 Speaker 3: playoffs come. But that's a long way. So just don't 68 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:01,840 Speaker 3: attack it one week at a. 69 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,720 Speaker 4: Time, that second touch on to Mario Douglas, I got 70 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 4: called back. 71 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 3: What does it just say about the team that you 72 00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 3: guys were able to kind of bounce back from not 73 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 3: so quickly and then go on to still get seven 74 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 3: points out of it with a pastication. Just what does 75 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 3: it say about I think we're always kind of don't blink, 76 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:17,520 Speaker 3: you know it, kind of don't blink in thehuddle, don't 77 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 3: so you can't control what the call is, no matter 78 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 3: whether it should have been this or that. I think 79 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:26,079 Speaker 3: the guys are great about just responding and just you're 80 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: not worried about it. I never see any you know, 81 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 3: blame in the huddle or nothing goes on. I think 82 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,480 Speaker 3: the guys are just kind of, you know, surprisingly not 83 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 3: even complaining about the rest. They're just kind of going 84 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 3: to the next play. And I think that's how we're 85 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 3: attacking it. And you're really proud of the guys of 86 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 3: how we've handled some long distances, you know, this year 87 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 3: and I try to do my best staut of some 88 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:42,600 Speaker 3: long distances. 89 00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,240 Speaker 4: What would you say is the biggest difference in you 90 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 4: as a quarterback from that game in Tennessee to now. 91 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 3: It's just another year playing football in this league. I 92 00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 3: think is the biggest thing. Another you know, more experiences 93 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 3: of you know, making throws, studying opponents, studying different defenses. 94 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 3: I think the guys around us, I think you got 95 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,640 Speaker 3: new guys, new players that help make my job easier. 96 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: The guys up front of them playing their butts off. 97 00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: The guys in the past game. We had a lot 98 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 3: of different guys that can make plays and it can 99 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 3: hurt hurt the defense, so that keeps them honest. I 100 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 3: think that's the biggest thing, is come just more experience 101 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 3: for myself and then the guys around me, they've been 102 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 3: they've been great. 103 00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 4: Great. You've seen you do those individual drills with two 104 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: hands on the ball and then edge you're coming up 105 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 4: and then seeing it do it in the game too, 106 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:32,919 Speaker 4: Like how much does that those drills help you, you know, 107 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 4: protect the football in their pocket? 108 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, I think it's cool to see it translate. 109 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 3: I think it's the biggest thing that you know, coaches 110 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 3: want to see an individual drill and in practice, you know, 111 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 3: things translate into the game and I take it, you know, 112 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 3: really seriously, put two hands in the pocket and you'll 113 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: try not to run around one hand. I think that 114 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,240 Speaker 3: that hurt me last year, you know in Tennessee, I 115 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 3: think on a fumble. So just trying to have those little, 116 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:55,760 Speaker 3: you know things in the memory bank that man, you know, 117 00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: hurt the football team, and just trying to have that 118 00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:58,640 Speaker 3: in the back of my mind, like an. 119 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,120 Speaker 4: Internal clock thing, like the awareness the game on Sunday. 120 00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't really see him. Yeah, you just kind 121 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,440 Speaker 3: of got, uh just a just a sense in there. 122 00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 3: You know, playing quarterback for a long time, you got 123 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: a sense of, you know, when things are closing in 124 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 3: and where defenders are at. And I think I can 125 00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: do even better of you know, when the pockets have 126 00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:19,679 Speaker 3: been cleaned, not kind of running out quick and getting 127 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 3: kind of to the back side of the field on 128 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 3: some of the progressions. So that's what I'm working on. 129 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: I think we sued to have some stuff, some meat 130 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 3: left in the boom of the playoffs are. 131 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 1: Obviously a long ways away, but when did that field 132 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 1: within the reach for this term, because there seems to 133 00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: be a sense that you just mentioned, you know that 134 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: that's something that's possible. 135 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,320 Speaker 3: You guys can Yeah, you know, I got ahead of 136 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:40,600 Speaker 3: myself a little bit there. I think we're just trying 137 00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:42,479 Speaker 3: to keep going, you know, one week at a time. 138 00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 3: I know, you know the goal is, but now that's 139 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 3: the goal with since we got here. It was what 140 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 3: coach Rabel has, uh you'll put on you know on 141 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 3: the goals of of whinning the vision and making the 142 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,839 Speaker 3: playoffs and having home playoff games. So that's been in 143 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 3: in uh the goal in mind since we got here. 144 00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 3: So it's not, you know, too early for me to 145 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,680 Speaker 3: get ahead on it, but it is a little bit 146 00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 3: early calling it. So just trying to keep playing and 147 00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 3: you know, when it happens to get there, that'd be 148 00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:09,360 Speaker 3: some fun, very goods. During the game the other day, 149 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:12,200 Speaker 3: I think it was the first half, the team published 150 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 3: a video some of the defensive guys on the sideline 151 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 3: watching you play. I think it was Harold Indrey said, man, 152 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 3: Drake looks like he's in flow state right now. Do 153 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: you feel that that while it's happening, do you feel 154 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 3: like just you know, even gave the game right now 155 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:26,800 Speaker 3: as the way you've played that you're you're in an 156 00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:31,440 Speaker 3: as ault. Yeah, you know they're playing quarterback. You kind 157 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 3: of you get the feeling some you know, I think 158 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 3: being in the dome, you kind of feel like you're 159 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 3: spending it well yeah, really, it's not really like a 160 00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 3: you kind of feel that more in basketball, kind of 161 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 3: being in the flow state and kind of need the 162 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 3: heat check. But in football, I think kind of the 163 00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: breaks were you know, sitting down and sitting on the 164 00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:48,560 Speaker 3: sideline kind of break it up. But you know, I 165 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 3: think there's times out there and you know, in a 166 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 3: dome where you're spending it well and you feel good. 167 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 3: But uh yeah, nothing, nothing in particular. I think those 168 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:57,960 Speaker 3: guys are you have some good you know, plays and 169 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,440 Speaker 3: just some guys that were open, so you push the 170 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,080 Speaker 3: ball down field more.

But 173 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 3: what would you say is recently that yeah, I think 174 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 3: we always have them called.

I think that's kind 177 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 3: of how really deep shots work, or trying to get 178 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,000 Speaker 3: a look and trying to get one on one. You know, 179 00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:22,680 Speaker 3: we say one on ones open in this league, So 180 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,440 Speaker 3: guys a chance one on one downfield and we have 181 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,559 Speaker 3: some chances of that last week and the week before. 182 00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: So just trying to keep making plays and if they 183 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 3: don't give it to us, just be smart and you'll 184 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 3: know that you know, could come back to them. 185 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: I think you've had four different guys be the leading 186 00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,400 Speaker 2: receivers so far through six weeks. 187 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 4: It's that about the game plan that you're going in 188 00:07:43,160 --> 00:07:46,040 Speaker 4: with with Josh or Mike or is that just about 189 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 4: having trust in every guy who's a pass catcher on 190 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 4: his team? 191 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I got trust a lot of guys going out 192 00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 3: there with us.
