1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Balance Jackson when aggressiveness and competitiveness with being safe like. 2 00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,080 Speaker 2: Icons like yeah, I mean, first of all, just in 3 00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,080 Speaker 2: the fumbled, never been taken out of the game for 4 00:00:15,080 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: getting there knocked out of me, so that was the first. 5 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 2: But I mean I quite honestly felt like I could 6 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: split them when I you know, saw the open field. 7 00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 2: So honestly, like in that situation, I didn't feel like 8 00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 2: I was in too much of a threat to get 9 00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: a big hit on me. But you know, I think 10 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,959 Speaker 2: that quite honestly, like just situations based like if you're 11 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,400 Speaker 2: gonna take a big hit, then yeah, you slide. But 12 00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:43,279 Speaker 2: I didn't feel like I was in a situation where 13 00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: I was gonna take a really big hit, So I 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 2: felt like I could, you know, kind of extend the 15 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,240 Speaker 2: play and maybe make something out of it. Just should 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 2: have held onto the ball. Did you do that they 17 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,240 Speaker 2: took you out of the game. You wanted to finish 18 00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 2: the draft? Yeah, that I don't know. I mean I 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 2: told him, I was like, I mean, you would feel 20 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,600 Speaker 2: uncomfortable if you got the air knocked out of you too, 21 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 2: Like I'm I'm fine, I just I'm trying to get 22 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:06,319 Speaker 2: my breath. So that was all there was obviously they 23 00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 2: have like they're a little different in college, I guess, 24 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 2: but yeah, he did from behind right. The hit was 25 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: from behind right. Well, there's two guys. It was the 26 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,320 Speaker 2: dB in front of me, and I think it was 27 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,440 Speaker 2: the linebacker who kind of came from the side. The 28 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:22,639 Speaker 2: moment you were going into. 29 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,840 Speaker 3: The medical time when kind of has gone viral of 30 00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 3: you kind of making this motion where you just like, 31 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: hurry up, you want to. 32 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,880 Speaker 2: Get back out there. Yeah, I mean, like I said, 33 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: I didn't understand why I got took off the field, 34 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 2: so I was just, you know, I wanted to get 35 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: back out there and finish the drive. So I just 36 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,479 Speaker 2: you know, area was kind of just like walking over. 37 00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 2: I'm like, let's let's go. I want to get back 38 00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: out there. So, you know, shout out to Jamis for 39 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: you know, throwing a touchdown and finishing that that last 40 00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,000 Speaker 2: strive that I was in. 41 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 3: He making any jokes with you about kind of stealing 42 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: one of the way happened in practice a few weeks. 43 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:56,080 Speaker 2: Ago, No, I mean, we're just we're a team. So 44 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 2: uh anytime you put points on the board and thought 45 00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 2: it was good for Jail to get that as well, 46 00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,760 Speaker 2: So I was just happy to put put points up 47 00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:08,320 Speaker 2: in that situation. You would you have liked would you 48 00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 2: like to slide in that situation? 49 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Speaker 3: Get you where you're just like, Hey, I'm gonna try 50 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 3: to get issue yours. 51 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,239 Speaker 2: When I can. Yeah, I think it's just like situation based. 52 00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:16,639 Speaker 2: Like I said, I feel like I could have made 53 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 2: a bigger play on it, and I thought I could 54 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: split them, And I feel like, if you know, I 55 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 2: just break a tackle then I'm gone. So but yeah, 56 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: I mean there's situations where you know things are super congesting, 57 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 2: you're gonna take a big shot, then obviously you want 58 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: to get down. But I felt like it was the 59 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 2: open field and I could have made a play. 60 00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 3: What does it say about this quarterback room that you're 61 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 3: off the field for one play and Jamis can float 62 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: it into the amazone for a touchdown. 63 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all really good players. I think that everybody's 64 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 2: kind of seen that throughout practices, throughout camp, Like we 65 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 2: all operate at high levels and guys are just continuing 66 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 2: to get better each and every day. It's a really 67 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: fun room to be a part of because it's super 68 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 2: competitive that way, and we have an amazing relationship between 69 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 2: all of us, but it's it's definitely fine, and we're 70 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: all each other's biggest fans when we're out there on 71 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,320 Speaker 2: the field. 72 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 3: That also mean you have a smaller margin of era 73 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 3: when you do get an opportunity to play. 74 00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:10,360 Speaker 2: M I mean, you gotta go out there and compete, 75 00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:12,480 Speaker 2: and you got to you know, make your plays when 76 00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,120 Speaker 2: when you're called and you'reut there on the field, and 77 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 2: we expect that everybody to make those plays. So I 78 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 2: don't think we really look at it that way. Jackson. 79 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 2: You're you're accustomed to starting obviously, Yeah, you did this 80 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 2: feel normal to you to start a game? Yeah? Absolutely, 81 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 2: you know I've never been you know, in my career, uh, 82 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,919 Speaker 2: you know, coming off the bench, So just felt normal 83 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 2: to go out there and to play right off the bat. 84 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 1: Jackson, the off season's over now, training camps over, pre 85 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: season's over. If you needed to play after everything you've 86 00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: done this off season, do you feel you're ready? 87 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 2: I feel like whenever my number is called that I'm 88 00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:47,480 Speaker 2: gonna go out there and I'm gonna play my game. 89 00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 2: I'm gonna ball, And that's just my mindset anytime I 90 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,520 Speaker 2: touched the field. Obviously, you know, Russ is the starter. 91 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,840 Speaker 2: And he's gonna do amazing. He's had such a great 92 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:59,800 Speaker 2: camp and has played an elite level. So you know, 93 00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 2: my job is just be the best teammate and you know, 94 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 2: be ready to you whenever it is. But you know, 95 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,480 Speaker 2: I'm excited for us and what he's going to do 96 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 2: this year. 97 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 3: Games mentioned that, you know, other than just starting, he 98 00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:14,320 Speaker 3: liked to add a little other things to to routine, 99 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:16,280 Speaker 3: including going out there for a coin toss, and he 100 00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 3: mentioned how that was so different for your routine. What 101 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:21,920 Speaker 3: was that like, adding to the preparation of the game 102 00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:23,360 Speaker 3: and kind of figuring out. 103 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 2: How is this done? 104 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 3: You know, the new elements of an NFL game. 105 00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't been out for a contoss since high 106 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 2: school because you know, ole miss we always wanted the 107 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: ball first, so I had to get my arm armed 108 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: up and get ready to go. So I have other 109 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,719 Speaker 2: guys go and do it for me. So when he 110 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 2: was like go do it, I was like should? I 111 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,440 Speaker 2: can't even remember what to do. But it was a 112 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 2: good experience, especially for men Abdul. After three games, what 113 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: do you think you've learned the most so far? Just 114 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,479 Speaker 2: from his experience and from growing a sup quarterbacks? So far, 115 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 2: I think I've learned a lot about like preparation going 116 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 2: into get especially at this level. I've just felt more 117 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:08,200 Speaker 2: and more comfortable each week, and I think that, you know, 118 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:10,880 Speaker 2: attributes to just the time that I've put into, you know, 119 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 2: trying to learn the system to the best of my abilities. 120 00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,320 Speaker 2: I've also learned that every guy out there on the 121 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: field is an elite player at what they do, so 122 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: you know, you can't you can't let one mistake lead 123 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,920 Speaker 2: to another one, and little things in your game will 124 00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 2: get exposed. So I think that, you know, through my 125 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,720 Speaker 2: time in camp, I've been able to, you know, grow 126 00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,479 Speaker 2: and learn from a lot of those things, and then 127 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 2: when I come out on the field and able to 128 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,800 Speaker 2: you know, correlate that to the game of just things 129 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 2: that I've learned. So, you know, I think the biggest 130 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 2: thing is just preparation and routine. 131 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Jackson, was there a specific moment, whether it was training, camp, 132 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: gaming as the Bills, anything like that where I know 133 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,840 Speaker 1: you're a very confident player, but where something happened when 134 00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 1: you're like, this is the NFL, I got this, I 135 00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: could do this. I got it, like it would be 136 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,320 Speaker 1: confirmed and reaffirmed in your mind, like you. 137 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 2: Can do that. I think I've just always had that 138 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: thought in my head. Yeah, I've said this, like, when 139 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 2: I step on the field, I expect to play at 140 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 2: a high level and to be honest, like, you know, 141 00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: I have the confidence. I feel like I'm gonna be 142 00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:15,720 Speaker 2: the best player on the field every time I touch 143 00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 2: on it. So I think I just, you know, I 144 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,120 Speaker 2: kind of just expect to play good. Like that's just 145 00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 2: the standard that I have for myself. So when you 146 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 2: don't play to that standard, it's it's really frustrating. And 147 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,880 Speaker 2: then you know, you just try to, you know, be 148 00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:32,600 Speaker 2: consistent and play to your level. 149 00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 3: You talked about how we talked about how you expect 150 00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,479 Speaker 3: Russell to go out there and be great, and also 151 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,119 Speaker 3: that you haven't. 152 00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 2: You've been a starter your entire life, so this could 153 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,440 Speaker 2: be it for you for a while. How tough will 154 00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 2: that be to sit on the bench and I have 155 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 2: to watch somebody else for the first time. Yeah, I'm 156 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,280 Speaker 2: just I'm just shifting my perspective to be the best 157 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:54,400 Speaker 2: teammate that I can be. Russ has completely earned that 158 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 2: role for him, and he's played amazing, He's played elite, 159 00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:01,159 Speaker 2: So uh, you know, for me, I'm just I just 160 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: want to be the best teammate and I just want 161 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: I want this team to win. So you know, whatever 162 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,200 Speaker 2: my role is for that to happen, I'm gonna do 163 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 2: that to the best of my ability. Close to tell you know, 164 00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 2: his future here is obviously yeah a little. 165 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 3: What was it like watching him play there? 166 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, I was. I was so excited. You know, in 167 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: the quarterback room, we can make like who he think 168 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 2: is gonna be the player of the game, and I said, no, 169 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 2: I felt like it was gonna be. Tommy caf said 170 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:30,720 Speaker 2: that we can't pick a guy in the room, but 171 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 2: I knew that he was going to go out there 172 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,640 Speaker 2: and ball, and you know, just the things that I've 173 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: seen and how much I've grown from just you know, 174 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,520 Speaker 2: learning from him. Uh, not only is he a great teammate, 175 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: but he's you know, one of my best friends on 176 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280 Speaker 2: the team too. So I was really happy to see 177 00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 2: him play at the level that he did, and it 178 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 2: really just wasn't any surprise for any of us.
