Did your debut in the NFL go the 8 00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 2: way you wanted it to? 9 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:18,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I wouldn't. I wouldn't say it. Did I think 10 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 3: you would to come out with a win? I guess 11 00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:23,040 Speaker 3: the called ultimate goal, especially in your first start, is 12 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 3: coming out with a win, and we didn't get that 13 00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 3: done playing against the good football team and definitely had flashes. 14 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:28,360 Speaker 1: At the end of the day. 15 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: What we're preaching that locker room is is winning football, 16 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,160 Speaker 3: and we didn't come out on top. 17 00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: What we were emotions? What did it feel like to 18 00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:34,840 Speaker 1: start the game? 19 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 4: Did you feel like at some point you settled in 20 00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 4: and maybe put the butterflies away? What was sort of 21 00:00:39,080 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 4: the emotional range you felt. 22 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, those first you know, kind of just pre game, 23 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,519 Speaker 3: you know, just a little nervous and a little you know, 24 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: really excited. It's kind of anxious for the kickoff and 25 00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,800 Speaker 3: kind of after the first couple couple drives kind of 26 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,480 Speaker 3: settled in a little bit. I thought I was seeing 27 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,920 Speaker 3: it well, I was throwing football well offtus. You would 28 00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 3: like to have a couple of throws back. But at 29 00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 3: the end of the day, I thought that the gods 30 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 3: played hard. We fought to the end, and if I know, 31 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 3: we had a couple of times, a couple of chances 32 00:01:02,600 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: where we were, you know, fight away to get back 33 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:06,480 Speaker 3: in it, and we just put even some bad spots 34 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,399 Speaker 3: and turn over the football and can't do that in 35 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 3: this league. 36 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 2: Getting the ball with one minute left to go before 37 00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,560 Speaker 2: before halftime. Obviously you have the two minute drill is 38 00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:16,800 Speaker 2: really a one minute drill. But going out there and 39 00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,160 Speaker 2: sort of seeing the field, did it seem like the 40 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: game kind of opened up for you a little bit 41 00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 2: right there? Did it seem like there was guys getting 42 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: extra steps and you just see in the field a 43 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 2: little bit better maybe than you did in the beginning 44 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: when you were all pumped up. 45 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think you have a big thing in kind 46 00:01:29,560 --> 00:01:30,880 Speaker 3: of you know, two many drill or like I said, 47 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 3: one mandrow at the end, there's just final completions and 48 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: you know, a little five yard you know, it was 49 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 3: really like a spot route to pop over on the 50 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,680 Speaker 3: sideline turns into a big play and just credit those 51 00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: guys for just me trying to find completions and let 52 00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 3: them make the place and ended up, you know, having 53 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: a match up one on one where you know, the 54 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 3: Texans are trying to probably keeps out of a field goal range, 55 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,280 Speaker 3: trying to heat us up, and you know hit booty 56 00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,160 Speaker 3: down the sideline.

I think it's hard to reapgate that. 114 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,640 Speaker 3: And you know, watching film and studying film and using 115 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,000 Speaker 3: the VR and all the visuals stuff can can help. 116 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: But at the same time, you'll get out there and 117 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:05,119 Speaker 3: live bullets. It's hard to beat. 118 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: Did you want to start week one? Like? Did you 119 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: want to be the starter all season long? 120 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 2: Was that something that you disorder were week after week 121 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: expecting to get that call and disappointed when he didn't 122 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 2: get it. 123 00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 3: No, I think you know you understand that. You know 124 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,000 Speaker 3: Kobe coming in as a veteran, you know what he 125 00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,520 Speaker 3: brings to the table. And you know, I thought, you know, 126 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,359 Speaker 3: he played his butt off and did everything you could 127 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 3: at the same time, just you know, sitting at one 128 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,240 Speaker 3: and four and should the rest is you know that's that? 129 00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 3: And you know from there, Uh, you always want to 130 00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:31,240 Speaker 3: be the starter, preparing like you're the starter. And you know, 131 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 3: if you in a quarterback room in the NFL, you 132 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 3: don't want to be the starter. You're probably won't be 133 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:35,839 Speaker 3: in there very long. 134 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 4: Now twenty four hours later, I'm sure you've kind of 135 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,400 Speaker 4: watched the film and seen everything, and now you also 136 00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,359 Speaker 4: have your memory of it. What's the best thing you 137 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 4: did yesterday? What's the worst thing you did yesterday? 138 00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: The best thing I did probably handling someversity. You know 139 00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 3: obviously come out coming out in that second drive with 140 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:51,719 Speaker 3: Pop over the middle and miss him over the middle. 141 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,440 Speaker 3: You know, just something beat myself up about. And you know, 142 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 3: on the sideline, I fel like I need to make 143 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 3: those throws and some of my best thing is thrown 144 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,640 Speaker 3: across the middle. What's a lot of ours out there 145 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:03,560 Speaker 3: for pop I think, especially on some of the crossing routes. 146 00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,560 Speaker 3: But other than that, I think, you know, bounce back 147 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 3: from a varsity yeah, end up, you'll putting together score 148 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,840 Speaker 3: and drive at the end of the half and kind 149 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: of coming out with some juice in the second half. 150 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 3: And then we were on that come back and you 151 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: know we're in it again, and then you know, the 152 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:19,600 Speaker 3: tipped interception. So it's like times when we were batting adversity. 153 00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:21,159 Speaker 3: I think we fought back and try to get ourselves 154 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 3: a chance and you'll get back in the game. We 155 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: just didn't capitalize. And then the thing that I can 156 00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 3: prove on is just you know, helping helping the guys 157 00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:28,640 Speaker 3: up front. They got a tough task, you know that 158 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,400 Speaker 3: on injuries and had a great d line from Houston. 159 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:33,960 Speaker 3: So getting the ball out and you know, realizing that 160 00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 3: sometimes incompletion is the best play. 161 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,039 Speaker 2: One of my favorite plays that you had yesterday, it 162 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,480 Speaker 2: was a play action. I think it was hasty and 163 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 2: then you ran up the middle and you push hasty 164 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 2: end of the linebacker and then just kept going Uh, 165 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: you've always been touted coming out of college and starting 166 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,200 Speaker 2: off here as a mobile quarterback, a guy who can 167 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 2: get out there and run. Uh, what'd you think of 168 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 2: the of the way you were able to do that 169 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:56,960 Speaker 2: in the game yesterday. Is that something that you want 170 00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,800 Speaker 2: to be able to build off of and how much 171 00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 2: of your game do you think that's gonna be? 172 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:01,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's a big part of my game. 173 00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 3: I think, you know, someone, one thing I was trying 174 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:04,840 Speaker 3: to do yesterday is not you know, try to hunt 175 00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,320 Speaker 3: those plays up. Just kind of let them come to 176 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 3: me and see if I see opportunity to go, you know, 177 00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,200 Speaker 3: run and make a play, go do it. And also 178 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:11,960 Speaker 3: I ex didn't play it's the hunter on the move, 179 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,320 Speaker 3: you know, on a big play. And you know that's 180 00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 3: part of my game is hot play And like I said, 181 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,240 Speaker 3: not trying to hunt those hunt those plays up. But 182 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,320 Speaker 3: it's definitely something that I can kind of feel and 183 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:21,320 Speaker 3: feel like I have a good feel for. 184 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,600 Speaker 4: I have this working theory that your family and your 185 00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 4: brothers are obviously a big part of developing you and 186 00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:29,000 Speaker 4: maybe preparing you for everything that comes with being a 187 00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 4: franchise quarterback. That video where they called you a bitch, 188 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,200 Speaker 4: that thing, you know, sometimes being kind of humbled or 189 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: put in your place. I believe they were up for 190 00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 4: the game, do you feel And you mentioned them last 191 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 4: night talking about how they'll remind you that you lost. 192 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,600 Speaker 4: They're not necessarily going to say you threw three touchdowns, 193 00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 4: they're going to How big a part is your family 194 00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:51,120 Speaker 4: in terms of helping prepare you for being the starting 195 00:06:51,160 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 4: quarterback of an NFL team and taking the good, the 196 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 4: bad and everything in between. 197 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,080 Speaker 3: No, I think it's huge, huge, having you know, three 198 00:06:57,120 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 3: older brothers that you know, have been through a lot 199 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,000 Speaker 3: of experiences sports and seeing a lot of great games 200 00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 3: where they played well but they lost, and a lot 201 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 3: of games were to play as well and we won. 202 00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,159 Speaker 3: I think the biggest thing we got out of from 203 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,800 Speaker 3: is we were more happy when we won. You know 204 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: that we lost, and that's kind of you know, how 205 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 3: we grew up and we were always you know something, 206 00:07:14,920 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 3: if something was if a score was being kept, you know, 207 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 3: you want to be on the winning side, and you 208 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: know it was never you know, it was always first loser, 209 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 3: you know, in that second place. So that's kind of 210 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,000 Speaker 3: kind of a motto and I think it helps you know, 211 00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 3: still remind me to this day. You know, it's not 212 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:29,520 Speaker 3: as much competing going on between the brothers, but you know, 213 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 3: we compete in our own ways. And my brother Luke 214 00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 3: was playing you know, basketball in Japan overseas, so he's 215 00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:36,760 Speaker 3: he's living through it right now and in his in 216 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 3: his uh his career, and now I'm on the state 217 00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,960 Speaker 3: of the NFL.

Rob Gronkowski, who everybody 224 00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 4: knows was, I don't know, the frat boy tight end, 225 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 4: the fun loving tight end, but also really smart, productive, 226 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 4: hard working football player. Do you think there's some truth 227 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 4: maybe in that comparison. Does that work for you? 228 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: I think it's easy. 229 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, with with you know the brothers, the ads and 230 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:13,040 Speaker 3: the sports brothers to make a connection like that. You know, grunks, 231 00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:14,920 Speaker 3: you know a legend and you know way did here 232 00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:17,520 Speaker 3: and I think you know what kind of goes you know, 233 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 3: without saying is the work you put in and what 234 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,240 Speaker 3: you did on the field. So I'm just trying to 235 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: bring injury. Trying to bring injury as a starting quarterback, 236 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 3: you know, for this football team, and try to bring 237 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,760 Speaker 3: it every week. And then just try to be authentic. 238 00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,240 Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing, is to be real, create real 239 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 3: relationships and kind of start you know, leading that way. 240 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 2: At the end of the game, I know the game 241 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: was basically over at that point, but you guys were 242 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: going forward on fourth down, you were picking up fourth 243 00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: down conversions, and then it seemed like you just were 244 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:44,880 Speaker 2: you know, kind of handing off, letting the clock run out. 245 00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: Did you want to do you want to take a 246 00:08:45,920 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 2: couple of shots? There was that just you know, game's over, 247 00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 2: We're moving on. 248 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:51,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, we had we had some some shots. Throw it 249 00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:54,199 Speaker 3: in the end zone and you know they're sitting back waiting, 250 00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,280 Speaker 3: you know, for for you know, go a route or 251 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 3: something in the end zone. So just trying to stay 252 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 3: out there, just trying to stay healthy and trying to 253 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 3: you know, make make them right those and not tink 254 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:02,840 Speaker 3: he hits. 255 00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: What uh, what's your relationship with Alex Van Pelt. 256 00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 4: I know, coach Mayo in the summer said that's gonna 257 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 4: be the one voice you hear, that's gonna be the guy. 258 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,880 Speaker 4: And clearly you two have a key relationship in terms 259 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 4: of your development in this offense is development? What's your 260 00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 4: relationship with him and how do you think that can 261 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,000 Speaker 4: maybe grow as you get experience on the field. 262 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, he's been great. I think you know, the 263 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:23,319 Speaker 3: best thing about a VP is, you know, he's he's 264 00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 3: done it. He's played quarterback, he's played in college, played 265 00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 3: in this league, and you understand what needs to be 266 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 3: done and you know what it takes to you know, 267 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 3: play you know, at high level in this league. You know, 268 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,439 Speaker 3: also to say, you know, the guys he's coached, you know, 269 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 3: he's coached some great Ones and Rogers and some of 270 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,520 Speaker 3: those guys. So just trying to, you know, soak it 271 00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,360 Speaker 3: all up. I think, you know, Jacoby's you know, it's 272 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:42,120 Speaker 3: been awesome to have him in the room kind of 273 00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: be his you know, another guy who's who's been in 274 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,719 Speaker 3: that position and played in this league and seen a 275 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,840 Speaker 3: lot of different things. So a v P, you know, 276 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 3: he's great. He's uh, he's very positive and he's positive 277 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 3: the whole group. By the same time, he keeps in 278 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 3: check and expects a lot out of us. So I 279 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 3: think the biggest thing for his offense is just know 280 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 3: what they're in for. Emphasizing and you what rumorfies enough 281 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 3: offensively like last week's starting fast.
