1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: It kind of did feel to kind of get out

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: there and get some snaps in a regular season game tonight. Yeah,

3
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: you know, obviously not the first time if you want

4
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:10,360
Speaker 1: to be out there and a blow out loss. But

5
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,799
Speaker 1: at the same time, just wanted to go out there

6
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: and trying to make some plays and have some fun.

7
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: A good good, a chance to watch my first action ever,

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,200
Speaker 1: you know, which a fellow nervous run out there. But

9
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 1: you know, what a what a night, you know, with

10
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: the crowd, you know, the kind of atmosphere to kind

11
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:27,000
Speaker 1: of get my first you know game on under my

12
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: belts and first action. How do you think you did?

13
00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: How do you think you did? Yeah? I just I

14
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: think you can't take stupid sacks, you know, trying to

15
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: quick game if I get the ball out and you

16
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,199
Speaker 1: can't take sacks in that situation. At the same time,

17
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: we got first downs, movie chains made play with my

18
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: feet hip pop up the middle, so I got the

19
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: good things looking at the same time, I gotta watch tape.

20
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: What was's message to you when he's told you it

21
00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 1: was time to go in. Ye had to be smart

22
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 1: with the football, don't do anything stupid and just get

23
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 1: out of the game and at the same time, just

24
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 1: enjoy it, you know, because Mayo is always about you know,

25
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: what's your moment to try to make some plays. So

26
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,680
Speaker 1: what's it like when you take that first hit. How

27
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,039
Speaker 1: does it feel? Yeah, I think feel pretty good to get,

28
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, get hit under my belt. You always wonder,

29
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 1: you know, your first NFL hit. A few in the preseason,

30
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: but you know these are one to count, so kind

31
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:15,120
Speaker 1: of good to get that out of the way, and

32
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: I feel good to mark. So obviously it's a smaller

33
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: sample size, but what would you say your initial impression

34
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 1: is comparing your NFL snaps to college. Yeah, we were

35
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:27,880
Speaker 1: in kind of no huddles kind of scenario, so a

36
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 1: little different than kind of command the huddle and being

37
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: in there calling some plays. But at the same time,

38
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: you know, moving fast and get down the red zones tough.

39
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: You know, we had a few plays in the red

40
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: zones tough. Those guys are a good job and these

41
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 1: defenses mix it up, so you gotta be quick with

42
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: my decisiveness and try to get the ball out. Drug

43
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: was asked if you guys want to make a quarterback change,

44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,880
Speaker 1: and he didn't say no. If you were asked to

45
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 1: start do you feel like you would be ready? Yeah,

46
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: I think you know, that's the kind of what I'm doing,

47
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: you know, weekend, week out, be ready to you know,

48
00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: when one name is called, one numbers called gout there

49
00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: and try to make a place. So anytime I've been

50
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: preparing like I'm a starter and the same time, you know,

51
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: co I've been there for Kobe, he battled tonight. I mean, well,

52
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,679
Speaker 1: have kept on getting up every time, you know, jogging off,

53
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: encouraging the guys on the sideline. So he made some

54
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: great throats tonight. What is it like like in a

55
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: offering room someone who, like you just said, gets up

56
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: after every single head and then continues to keep everyone moving. Yeah,

57
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,080
Speaker 1: it speaksying, speaks volumes. I told him on the sideline

58
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:26,680
Speaker 1: that a way to represent the quarterbacks out there. You know,

59
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 1: you know it's tough in that scenario. I've been in

60
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: you know a few of those and in my career

61
00:02:30,240 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 1: in college when you're you know, getting beat up and

62
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: just keep getting up and jogging off the sideline. He

63
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: does a great job and he knows a great great

64
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: TEMs number one thing about Kobe and you know, a

65
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:40,600
Speaker 1: great leader. What was the first thing want to do

66
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: good buy when coach said you were going in, Oh yeah,

67
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:45,720
Speaker 1: just you'll get ready to go out there. You know,

68
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: no no regrets, to go out there and have some fun.

69
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: You know, I'm you know, first first ball got tipped

70
00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:52,239
Speaker 1: in the air to hit the ground. So just go

71
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 1: out there and make a place and just just let

72
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: it loose. Did Kobe say anything to you before you

73
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: went in. I think he was on the iPad. It's

74
00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: just watching the preview series. So he does a good

75
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 1: job after series looking at the tape, so you know,

76
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,239
Speaker 1: I know he's pulling for him. He's a you know,

77
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: great teammate. What do you think you've learned most from

78
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,960
Speaker 1: him in the first three weeks from oh yeah, just

79
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: how to prepare? How to prepare you know, so many

80
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: different that look Stevens can bring. You know, just mix

81
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: it up on you know, the first like four or

82
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: five first downs, I mean third downs tonight, and mix

83
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: up the defense. So pive and prepare and and going

84
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 1: through each play and almost how you can never prepare enough.

85
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: You know he's going through here and you know, got

86
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,920
Speaker 1: a last few seconds before it goes out to the field.

87
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: He's you know, looking over the script and little things

88
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: like that you did Pop for first out, and how

89
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: much confidence doesn't play like that give you? Yeah, and

90
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 1: I think you know, Pop's great player in space, you know,

91
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: just like I, I can Seah over the middle of a

92
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 1: big dude in the pocket, sea him over the middle. So, uh,

93
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,080
