1
00:00:00,880 --> 00:00:02,320
Speaker 1: The game about, you know, being a leader of the

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 1: offense everything. Sure's what that process of because two weeks ago,

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, you're the young guy not playing, and now

4
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:09,520
Speaker 1: obviously you're over your front center. Jow, have you gone

5
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: about taking on that role?

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 2: You know, I honestly feel like I kind of take it,

7
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 2: you know, pretty naturally. Now I've been I played a

8
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,160
Speaker 2: lot of football in my college career, had a lot.

9
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:25,079
Speaker 3: Of games at different places. Uh played two different.

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: Schools, and you know, I was the seventeen year old

11
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 2: my freshman year, you know, doing the same thing.

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 3: So I understand just you know, kind of the role

13
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:34,839
Speaker 3: of the quarterback.

14
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 1: You know.

15
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:36,640
Speaker 2: At the same time, it was great watching you know,

16
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: Russ and you know kind of how he operated it,

17
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,120
Speaker 2: which was, you know, just a really good example.

18
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 3: And which he still does a really good job of it.

19
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,920
Speaker 2: And then you know, even Jamis, you know, just taking

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 2: their advice, seeing how they communicate. So I feel like

21
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 2: I'm in a great room to learn. But at the

22
00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: same time, I feel like, you know, it definitely comes

23
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,640
Speaker 2: naturally to me.

24
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 4: Sure, I feel like you yeah, yes, like you would

25
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 4: have had a limited practice with a.

26
00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: Hamstring and oh no, I feel good I'm excited chance,

27
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,280
Speaker 3: so you know, you have no doubt that you're gonna

28
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 3: play obviously, yeah, never does in a season.

29
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 5: It's going to be a lot of first there's a

30
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 5: first game against a division opponent and a Giants rival,

31
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 5: meat anything, or.

32
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:18,920
Speaker 3: Is it just the next game?

33
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously division divisional games they hold a little

34
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 2: more weight. Obviously, understanding the history of you know, this

35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 2: matchup and the intensity of it carries weight as well.

36
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 2: So I'm really just excited to get out there on

37
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 2: the field, you know, Thursday night, and you know, have

38
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: a lot of fun competing, and.

39
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be a really cool environment, you know

40
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:40,800
Speaker 3: the history.

41
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: Of I mean you know, I mean, I'm sure any

42
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: quiz you on it, I mean, is it something you

43
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: go back and look at.

44
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 3: I mean, how much do you know?

45
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,640
Speaker 2: Is he a I mean, I don't know, like a

46
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 2: ton I'm a little naive to it, just you know,

47
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 2: me being you know, from the West Coast and whatnot.

48
00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: But obviously you understand growing up, you know what rivalries

49
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,720
Speaker 2: are in the National Football League. And then at the

50
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 2: same time you hear you know, New York, New Jersey

51
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: people and you know how they feel about Philadelphia people

52
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,480
Speaker 2: and vice versa, So you know, I definitely, you know,

53
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: I have kind of got more accustomed to that, you know,

54
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 2: for my time being here.

55
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:15,720
Speaker 5: You talk about your your first game, when you had

56
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,679
Speaker 5: your first start, it was, well, we don't have a

57
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 5: lot of tape on them. But now that you've played

58
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 5: two games, I would imagine maybe defensive cordage, especially like

59
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,560
Speaker 5: this week, might may look to throw some different things

60
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 5: at you based on what you've shown.

61
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 3: Do you think you.

62
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,760
Speaker 5: Guys are in a position now, even on a short week,

63
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 5: to kind of adapt to what you've seen and maybe

64
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 5: change some things that you've done already.

65
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 3: Well, you definitely have to.

66
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 2: I mean each and every week, you know, for everybody

67
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: around the league, there's going to be different matchups, different

68
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: schemes that they bring against teams. So that's definitely not

69
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: out of the ordinary. And I think that you know,

70
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: every single week there's going to be something new that

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 2: you haven't seen before, and you just got to be

72
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: able to to go back to the sideline, be able

73
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 2: to adjust. And you know, just like us, they have

74
00:02:58,120 --> 00:03:01,000
Speaker 2: really good players, really good coaches, so you know, you

75
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,880
Speaker 2: might get God on a play and you've got to

76
00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: be able to make the adjustments for the next series.

77
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 3: At the combine, I believe and talk about how much

78
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 3: you looked up to Jail and Urt. You said his game, right, Yeah,

79
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 3: can you take us through kind of what that's like

80
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 3: for you just watching him? Where do you learn from him? Yeah?

81
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,520
Speaker 2: I mean, first of all, I love his mentality, you know,

82
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: his you know, every day, you know, accountability of himself,

83
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,080
Speaker 2: and at the same time you're raising the bar for

84
00:03:23,120 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: his teammates. So you know, that was something you know

85
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: as an as an early you know, college player and.

86
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 3: Being able to look up to guys like that.

87
00:03:33,040 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: So it's gonna be you know, really cool to be

88
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 2: on the same field with with him and being able

89
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 2: to compete against him, and you know, at the same

90
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 2: time him just being a you know, a really good

91
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 2: competitor and uh being able to do a lot of things,

92
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: you know, with his arm and with his legs and

93
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 2: putting his team in really good situations to win.

94
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: How much did you talk to Dable about was obviously

95
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: Dable working in college briefly?

96
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I've definitely had conversations. I probably had more

97
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 2: conversations about it when I was in the draft process

98
00:03:56,880 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 2: of you know, him kind of asking me, you know,

99
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 2: what quarterbacks do I like to watch and see how

100
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 2: they play, and obviously he had that connection.

101
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 3: So there was definitely you know, conversations of that in

102
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 3: the pre draft. What do you think Mixed Hurts the

103
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 3: winner that he is.

104
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, he just he's able to rally the

105
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 2: guys around him. I think that, you know, just kind

106
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: of the culture that they've built, like regardless of them

107
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,479
Speaker 2: being in you know, really tight games. I think that,

108
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: you know, in those situations, it comes down to the

109
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: leaders of the team and him being able to you know,

110
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: go through adversity you know, during games during a season

111
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 2: and then just being able to rally the guys. I

112
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 2: think that that was something that really stood out to me.

113
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 3: How how have you responded to your adversity in New Orleans?

114
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean this was you know, my first loss

115
00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 2: in in the NFL, and you know, for just being realistic,

116
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be you know, my last. Obviously you

117
00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: don't want those things to happen, but it's just the

118
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,840
Speaker 2: part of the game. So you know, just trying to

119
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:57,480
Speaker 2: you know, come back, you know, identify the things I

120
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,359
Speaker 2: need to work on. At the same time, I'm you know,

121
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 2: being able to you know, see things I did well

122
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: and then try to carry those over to the next week,

123
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 2: and you know, just the communication with the guys and

124
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 2: and trying to just you know, you know, keep the

125
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 2: confidence high.

126
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 3: With the with the players on the team, and us

127
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: being able to go out there and execute when we

128
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 3: need to. Actually, you've been able.

129
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: To start fast and both your starts, you know, is

130
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 5: that something about the first script, the first series, your adrenaline,

131
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,279
Speaker 5: the execution, what what?

132
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:26,120
Speaker 3: What you know when you think about that, because then

133
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:27,960
Speaker 3: later in the game sometimes it's hard to you know,

134
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:28,600
Speaker 3: gain all that.

135
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that that that just kind of happens

136
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 2: in the NFL, Like there's a lot of times where

137
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 2: teams will score on their first drive because a lot

138
00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: of times, you know, schematically there's new things that you

139
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:41,919
Speaker 2: just haven't seen yet, and it's not out of the

140
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 2: norm for you know, the game to kind of slow down,

141
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 2: you know, with guys and teams making adjustments. It's which

142
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,479
Speaker 2: makes us you know, the best players, the best coaches

143
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,280
Speaker 2: in the world. So you know, I definitely, you know,

144
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: I want to carry that over each and every week

145
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 2: because I think it's important, you know, for us to

146
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 2: just start fast and being able to execute on those

147
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,359
Speaker 2: things early. But at the same time, you know, like

148
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,520
Speaker 2: you said, you've got to continue to make adjustments, clean

149
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:08,040
Speaker 2: things up, and take care of the ball throughout the

150
00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: whole game.

151
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,560
Speaker 4: The second interception where Collins kind of stopped, how do

152
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,960
Speaker 4: you when you watch that back on film, how do

153
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:17,200
Speaker 4: you like stay confident in each other to like make

154
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,880
Speaker 4: the throw the next time, because really you're just kind

155
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:22,080
Speaker 4: of throwing to a spot there, Like what is that

156
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 4: process like kind of dissecting a play like that after

157
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:24,720
Speaker 4: the fact.

158
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, Bull's a really good player and he's done a

159
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: lot of really great things. Obviously me and him are

160
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 2: just new to this still, so you know, there's definitely

161
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: you know, communication things that we got to clean up.

162
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,479
Speaker 2: And I think that that you know, showed in that instance,

163
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 2: and you know, just as much as you know, you know,

164
00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: me making a mistake and clean it up for him,

165
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 2: and him making a mistake and clean it up for me, Like,

166
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 2: you know, those things happened, and you just got to

167
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: be able to, you know, have those conversations, be able

168
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: to see it through the same lens. So you know, obviously,

169
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:55,880
Speaker 2: you know in game, it definitely you know, is highlighted.

170
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 2: But at the same time, I think, you know, for

171
00:06:57,839 --> 00:06:59,839
Speaker 2: us just being young and being able to to clean

172
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,039
Speaker 2: on those things early.

173
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 3: How how have you and THEO really built your religion.

174
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 3: It seem like you're getting comfortable with him on the field, Yeah, THEO.

175
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: I mean I've been high on THEO since I really

176
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 2: played against him in college. You know, we played in

177
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: the Beach Bowl and he had a touchdown, and you know,

178
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: I think just as a player, as a competitor, you're

179
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,000
Speaker 2: able to, you know, see guys who you know, do

180
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 2: a lot of really good things, even if they're on

181
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 2: a different team. So I've known about him since college

182
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: and obviously you know, you know what stood out initially

183
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 2: was you know, his combine numbers and you know, just

184
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: athletic he was. So I was really excited coming in

185
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 2: here to you know, be able to be on the

186
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,679
Speaker 2: same field with him, and you know, he's been nothing

187
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 2: but you know, just hard working and a guy who

188
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:41,520
Speaker 2: you can really trust out there on the field. So

189
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: I look forward to, you know, continuing to develop our timing,

190
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 2: our relationship with each other, and you know, I just

191
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 2: excited to be able to play with him.

192
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 3: For a long time.

193
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 5: I'm excited you to the tournament life where you had

194
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 5: your magic home.

195
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 3: Yeah.

196
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 2: Home games are special, you know because you got you know,

197
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: people behind your back, you got the crowd, you got

198
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 2: the energy, and.

199
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 3: That's what makes it fun.

200
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,480
Speaker 2: And uh, you know, I'm definitely excited and it's definitely

201
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: important to to play really well home.

202
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: How important is it.

203
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 5: For a quarterback to deal with adversity?

204
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,480
Speaker 2: I think it's you know, it's it's obviously very important,

205
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 2: but the most important thing is, you know, how how

206
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 2: can you respond to it and how you know.

207
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 3: You're able to make adjustments, how you're able.

208
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: To take accountability, uh for mistakes and then you know,

209
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 2: clean those things up and put your team in the

210
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 2: best situation. So I think that's the hardest thing about

211
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 2: this game is you know, you never know how people

212
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 2: are going to respond at times, and uh, you know

213
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 2: that's what you know makes the the players the greatest

214
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 2: of all time. And you know, being able to see,

215
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,640
Speaker 2: you know, the guys just growing up, you know, who

216
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 2: are the best being.

217
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,439
Speaker 3: Able to respond to diversity. So it's definitely important
