1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:05,560
Speaker 1: I would assess your abomos not good enough because we lost.

2
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:08,799
Speaker 2: Jackson. Did you take us through the hit and what happened?

3
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 3: Uh?

4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 2: On that player run through the sidelines? Just what did

5
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: you see what happened there?

6
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,159
Speaker 1: Uh scrambled out of the pocket trying to get the

7
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: first time and UH got made a good hit.

8
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:21,079
Speaker 4: We it's it sounds like a broken record, Jackson, just

9
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 4: asking you about the hits and taking them and protecting

10
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 4: yourself and things like that. Is there anything you would

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 4: have done different on that one?

12
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: No, look like I understand the question, but like this

13
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,960
Speaker 1: is like this is football, Like I'm gonna get hit

14
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,239
Speaker 1: if I'm in the pocket or outside the pocket, like

15
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:44,640
Speaker 1: it's outn't like I feel like I've played this way

16
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:48,640
Speaker 1: my whole entire life. It shouldn't be like any shock

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: or anybody if you've followed along with my career and

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:55,680
Speaker 1: I don't. We're not playing like we're not playing soccer

19
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: out here, like you're gonna get hit. Things happen, It's

20
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: part of the game.

21
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,480
Speaker 2: It seemed after that played there are some times you

22
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: could have run, and maybe you didn't run as much

23
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 2: until Tracy got hurt. Was that kind of your thought

24
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 2: president on some of those players where maybe just didn't

25
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: want to move just kind of you know, go go

26
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,000
Speaker 2: with a different idea.

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 1: Not really sure what plays you're talking about it specifically, there.

28
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 2: Were some I think there was some well I'll ask

29
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: you just were there times that you thought about running

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: and maybe just maybe thought he after that hit, maybe

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 2: not running.

32
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: So didn't hurt. So that didn't play any thought in

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: my mind. Do you think do you think taking that

34
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: aggressiveness away from you would take you away from your game? Absolutely?

35
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 1: Like I said, I played like this my whole life,

36
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 1: like turn of my high school tape, trying my college tape,

37
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,880
Speaker 1: Like it's not like a shocker to anybody, Like it's

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: just it's how I've played. It felt like if you

39
00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: just watched the game like I did, slide. I did

40
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 1: avoid a lot of hits, so it's like you're can

41
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: get hit, it's football, just make them off.

42
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,880
Speaker 4: Dumb question, Jackson, But when when you're playing in high school,

43
00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,240
Speaker 4: when you're playing in college, the competition is a little

44
00:02:04,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: bit different. Beside the speed, the physicality is a little

45
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: bit different, where maybe those hits here are a little

46
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: different than the hits you would have been taken in.

47
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: High school, so you feel a little bit different.

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,200
Speaker 4: Does that factor in it all or or not?

49
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: My body feels good. I got knocked out of a

50
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 1: game against Chicago on a fluke play. Like you watch

51
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: the hit, I lose control of the ball and I

52
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: don't brace myself because I'm trying to recatch the ball.

53
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 1: It's not because of the hit, It's just because I

54
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: lost the ball. So, I mean, just like any other league,

55
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: like you take new steps. There's bigger, faster players. But like,

56
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: my body feels good, so you know, I'm gonna play aggressive.

57
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: I feel like if I just turn into a complete

58
00:02:47,360 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: pocket passer, that's just not how I want to play

59
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: the game. I feel like there's an advantage to me

60
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: using my legs. So, yeah, Jackson, is there a part

61
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: of you that looks at kind of the other side,

62
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: He says, you know, that's where I want to go.

63
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: That's what I want to do for this franchise that

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: you've done for that one. Yeah, he's done a great job.

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 1: I'm not into comparisons. Everybody's journeys differently. Everybody's journey is different.

66
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: So you know, I've known Drake for years and he's

67
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: done a great job. He also went through a struggle

68
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,799
Speaker 1: his first year too, so you know, everybody's journey is different.

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 1: I'm just trying to do my best to change this

70
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: this franchise around a little bit and uh and do

71
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: my part. So I just got to stay diligent in

72
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:38,880
Speaker 1: that Tonight's Uh tonight's game plan make you too much

73
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,120
Speaker 1: of a pocket passer, No, I didn't think so. I mean,

74
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: I just think we got down, like we got down

75
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: big early. Game plans have to change, like you're just

76
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: playing catch up the rest of the game. It's a

77
00:03:51,360 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: little bit different when you know it's a tight game,

78
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,120
Speaker 1: you can really stick to a game plan. You know.

79
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: I felt like, you know, me trying to extend my

80
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: plays in the in the past game and keep my

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: eyes down the field, it was more sufficient than me

82
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: trying to run and get you know, five yards. So

83
00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: you're trying to play catch up little bit in those situations.

84
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 5: Jackson would be for uc THEO kind of respond like

85
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 5: he did, I know where the result of a personal file,

86
00:04:15,080 --> 00:04:18,279
Speaker 5: but you know he want rat ray up to your

87
00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 5: back when.

88
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: That play happened.

89
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I would do the same for him,

90
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: And uh, you know that's kind of the that's a

91
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: relationship that mean him have you know, you saw the

92
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: O line get in there too. Like we all got

93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: each other's backs. It's not it's not fun losing. It's

94
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: not fun with this losing streak. It's it doesn't you know,

95
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: looks super bright from the outside, but you know, we

96
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: have each other's backs, and uh, you know, sometimes it

97
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: just takes. It takes time to you know, turn things around.

98
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: And I think that obviously, you know, we want that now,

99
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: everybody wants that. Now. You know, I'm hoping that, you know,

100
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: we can continue to to build and uh, you know,

101
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,800
Speaker 1: find any way that we can just find a little

102
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 1: bit of momentum.

103
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 3: Jackson, the way you fell behind, the way you fell

104
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 3: behind as a team today, do you feel like it

105
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: kind of took you guys out of sync a little

106
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 3: bit and it seemed like you were kind of scratching

107
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 3: a clone trying to fight back into it and never

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 3: really got to that situation where you felt like you

109
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 3: were comfortable.

110
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: Right. Well, yeah, I mean we got we got beaten

111
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 1: all three phases of the game. So when you get

112
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: down like that, it's not it's not ideal. And you know,

113
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 1: I felt like we had a little bit of a

114
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: spark when we were able to you know, score that

115
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,360
Speaker 1: Motor had that touchdown, we got the two point conversion,

116
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: We're down two scores and you know, defense got is

117
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: the ball back and then we didn't capitalize on it. So,

118
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,880
Speaker 1: like you said, like we were just scratching a claw,

119
00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: and so you know, you kind of have to when

120
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: you're in that situation. Your game plan is kind of

121
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 1: out outdicated a little bit, and you're just trying to

122
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: find any way you can to play catch up.

123
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 2: Interjection.

124
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:59,120
Speaker 5: Your teammates admire your competitiveness, your fire, but they also

125
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 5: have I've been telling you to protect yourself better.

126
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: What do you say to them?

127
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: Hmm? I thought I did a good job tonight.

128
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,000
Speaker 2: What do you say to them when they tell you

129
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: you need to protect yourself better?

130
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 1: For looking after me?

131
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 5: Jackson? You are you looking forward to the time and

132
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:22,320
Speaker 5: are confident that eventually this will sort itself out, that

133
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,680
Speaker 5: you will play with you aggressiveness that you want to,

134
00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 5: You will that the coaches will realize that you're.

135
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 2: Doing that but still protecting you know.

136
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 5: I mean this has become a major talking point around you. Now.

137
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 5: It doesn't seem to be that way about a lot

138
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 5: of other quarterbacks. It's just a growing phase that you

139
00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:41,200
Speaker 5: have to get through. Is it something different.

140
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 1: Look, I'm gonna keep playing aggressive. No. Hopefully everybody can

141
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: take a second to watch my tape going back to

142
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: high school and realize that this is not a shock.

143
00:06:56,800 --> 00:07:01,240
Speaker 1: Like I play the game aggressively. I took one hit

144
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: that people are talking about. I slid got out of

145
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: the way of a lot of hits. So I appreciate people,

146
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, wanting to you know, me to be healthy

147
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: and all that stuff, and I want to be healthy too.

148
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: But I play this game aggressive, so I'm not I'm

149
00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 1: not going to just change how I play the game.

150
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:24,400
Speaker 1: Do you think on that til day that you should

151
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: have stepped out of sounds a little sooner there or

152
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,040
Speaker 1: what wards? Your take on the play, it's trying to

153
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: get the first sound
