1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,400
Speaker 1: Is this is this really any different for you than

2
00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: the other previous weeks when when Trevor was a little

3
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 1: bit iffy or a little.

4
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 2: Bit No, No, yeah, no, it's I mean to me,

5
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 2: it's the same. I mean, I'm taking a lot more

6
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:16,439
Speaker 2: reps in practice and stuff, but you know, prepared in

7
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 2: the same way. You gotta prepare as if you're going

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: to be going and then you know, hopefully you know,

9
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,119
Speaker 2: Trevor Clear's crush from protocol by the end of this

10
00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: week for sure. How you balanced figuring out just how

11
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:30,840
Speaker 2: to do that Over the course of your career, I

12
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 2: had a lot of a lot of practice head I think,

13
00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 2: you know, whether it's here or where you know, where

14
00:00:36,040 --> 00:00:40,440
Speaker 2: I used to be. I think the mindset as being

15
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:42,599
Speaker 2: my seventh year in the league, it's just a lot

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 2: of experience. Even even the games where you know the

17
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 2: starter isn't banged up or whatever, just preparing like you

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:51,199
Speaker 2: know you might have to go into the game and

19
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: that's just kind of what you have to do. So

20
00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:55,560
Speaker 2: at this point, it's really just just a mindset. And

21
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 2: you know, I feel like this year I've I've actually,

22
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: you know, you gotta I've gotten to practice a lot

23
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 2: more than years past, as far as with the with

24
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 2: the starters, you know, when trev has missed a couple

25
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 2: of practice here there, and it's so it's only you know,

26
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 2: benefit of me and helped me in the long run

27
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: of just getting rest with certain guys and that kind

28
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: of stuff.

29
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 3: Significant.

30
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 2: Is that just getting those reps in the week as

31
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 2: opposed to maybe coming off the bench cold like you

32
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: did against Cincinnati. Yeah, I mean it it helps a lot.

33
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 3: Uh.

34
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 2: You know, you can't really simulate throwing you know, an

35
00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 2: out route or go route to Calvin, you know, with

36
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 2: the with the speed he has in a way he

37
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 2: runs routes. So uh, definitely helps getting getting routes with

38
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,399
Speaker 2: with the the starting guys in there.

39
00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 3: What's the the mindset this week when you don't know

40
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,560
Speaker 3: if you're going to if Trevor could clear tomorrow, could

41
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: clear Friday or whatever day today.

42
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,960
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, Saturday. I mean, how how does that impact

43
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: the way you approach it?

44
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 2: Again? It it doesn't. It's it's the same, you know,

45
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,360
Speaker 2: alright right now, I'm preparing as if I am gonna

46
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: be playing on Sunday, and then you know, if tomorrow, Friday,

47
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 2: whenever that day comes, that he'd he uh clears it,

48
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 2: and you know, it's it's that's great news for us.

49
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: So uh, but right now I'm preparing as if, uh,

50
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,480
Speaker 2: I'll have to go someday and and then uh, let's

51
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: just see, you know, hopefully, you know, praying he he

52
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:16,120
Speaker 2: clears protocol. By the end of the week, I have

53
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: not no. Yeah, shoulder feeling a little bit better than

54
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:21,800
Speaker 2: it did a couple of years. Yeah, definitely, It's just

55
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: it's progressively gotten better over the last couple of weeks,

56
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: for sure.

57
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you, uh, how much do you you know,

58
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 1: if if you do get get to start this week,

59
00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:37,079
Speaker 1: how much do you lean on your last experiences? Is

60
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: starting in San Francisco where you know, you you you

61
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: had some pretty good showings there those last few games,

62
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: and it does that Is that sort of mental positive

63
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: past recall help you at all?

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think it helps, just knowing that

65
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,519
Speaker 2: the last you know, several times I've been out there,

66
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: you know, you know, it did go well, you know,

67
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 2: and you know, it's kind of crazy think about that

68
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 2: was back in twenty twenty, so it's still three years ago.

69
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: So it's it's it doesn't feel like three years because

70
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,880
Speaker 2: you know, you kind of base it off of playing.

71
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't feel like that was three years ago.

72
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 2: And you know, I've learned a lot over the three

73
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 2: years since then, and you know it's helped me, so

74
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:16,919
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully, you know, I like to think I've

75
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 2: gained a lot of experience from the sidelines, from practice

76
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,680
Speaker 2: and everything even since then. But again, I know, each

77
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: game and each situation presents its own set of circumstances,

78
00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: whatever that may be.

79
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: So you have you have family coming down for this game?

80
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: Uh, probably not No, No, it's Christmas Eve. They're all

81
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: you know, they're they're not going to be flying to

82
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 2: Tampa and then trying to get back before for Santa

83
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: Claus makes it in town. You know, so he's playing

84
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: on like Christmas Eve, Christmas Day?

85
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 3: Holiday type of thing?

86
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Is that players okay with that?

87
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: Hate it?

88
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:52,480
Speaker 1: Don't like it?

89
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I think we're cool with it. But

90
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,119
Speaker 2: you know, most guys, a lot of guys do have families,

91
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: and uh, I think playing on Christmas Day isn't as

92
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Speaker 2: sought after as Yeah, I think I think having a

93
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 2: Thursday night game this week is like you hit the

94
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,119
Speaker 2: jackpot for sure, you know, Like we did last year.

95
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,680
Speaker 2: That was that was we were all pretty fired of

96
00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Speaker 2: about that, just because you know, you do get to

97
00:04:13,880 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 2: spend you know, Christmas with your family and stuff. But

98
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: but at the end of the day too, you know,

99
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 2: the same with Thanksgiving games. Thanksgiving games, are you want

100
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 2: to play in those games because you know everybody's watching

101
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving and Christmas, everyone is going to be tuned

102
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 2: in at their house and watching whatever games are on,

103
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 2: and that that's a pretty cool feeling to know and

104
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 2: of itself as well.

105
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 3: Well, well, you obviously the game plan is tailored to

106
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 3: you and to Trevor, whichever one is gonna play. But

107
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 3: if there are a lot of things that you and

108
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:46,039
Speaker 3: Trevor like equally.

109
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we we have a lot of similarities and

110
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 2: what we like and kind of you know, makes it

111
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:54,719
Speaker 2: easy for for Press and Doug and those guys to

112
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,080
Speaker 2: to game plan it and scheme it. Just uh, we

113
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: like a lot of the same stuff and you don't

114
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 2: have to change a ton of things.

115
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:02,520
Speaker 3: You know, you said that you'd like to, you know,

116
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:04,840
Speaker 3: have Trevor obviously be ready to play? Do you allow

117
00:05:04,839 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 3: yourself to get excited about the potential There have been

118
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,200
Speaker 3: a lot of backup quarterbacks that have played this year

119
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 3: and had some measure of success or you excited about.

120
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I uh, you know, you see a lot of

121
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:19,600
Speaker 2: the backups around league. There's been a lot of them

122
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 2: that have played this year, I'd say more than than

123
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:26,040
Speaker 2: most years. But yeah, I think I've learned from experience

124
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 2: you can't get over excited or over you know, it's

125
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 2: just you just got to stay even keeled through it

126
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,040
Speaker 2: all because you truly don't know what's gonna happen. And

127
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: then I mean like Cincinnati a couple of weeks ago,

128
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 2: that's you know that that year, in one phase in

129
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:40,719
Speaker 2: the game, then all of a sudden, in the flip

130
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: of the switch, you have to like totally change your

131
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 2: mindset and you're you're in there. So it's kind of

132
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 2: like that. You know, you're preparing the same way. You're

133
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,800
Speaker 2: not getting over excited. You're just trying to do the

134
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 2: best that you can to help help us win the

135
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 2: next game, whether it's today in practice, tomorrow in practice,

136
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 2: or being out there on Sunday whatever that is. I

137
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 2: know accing today will help us one on Sunday, even

138
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,280
Speaker 2: if it's not me and they're playing. But to some extent,

139
00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 2: it's gonna help us, you know, get a victory on Sunday.

140
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 2: So that's I take pride in that for sure.

141
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 1: How's how's Trevor doing. He talked to him this week.

142
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's doing better. He's uh, he's been in

143
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 2: the building today. I get to talk to him and

144
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 2: hang out with them today, So he's doing good. When

145
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 2: you've had concussions, I'm ssuming have you had a concussion

146
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:25,760
Speaker 2: and famis.

147
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: I have not?

148
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: No, I mean not since not in the NFL for sure. Yeah.

149
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: Remember what's what's kind of going on right now?

150
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 2: As far as I mean, you still able to talk

151
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,840
Speaker 2: to people, function things like that? Yeah, yeah, I mean

152
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: it's uh, I think it's more uh probably just you know,

153
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:50,239
Speaker 2: headache type stuff or uh maybe failing tire or follow

154
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040
Speaker 2: you that that type of thing. But yeah, you're functioning

155
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,599
Speaker 2: as a normal person. There's nothing nothing crazy about that

156
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:02,560
