1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: And you had three different play callers in New England. 2 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:08,559 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a lot of offenses in seven years. 3 00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:10,360 Speaker 1: How challenging is that. I think it's great. 4 00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,760 Speaker 2: I think you know, when people say that's a bad thing, 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 2: I think it's a great thing. I think you obviously 6 00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: want to have continuality with a certain person, but at 7 00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:20,560 Speaker 2: the end of the day, you're learning from each person's backgrounds. 8 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 2: You know, I think of coach table at Alabama, Sark, 9 00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:27,920 Speaker 2: Mike Loxley, So it's like you're getting different coaching. 10 00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: Backgrounds from everywhere. 11 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:31,280 Speaker 2: I mean, obviously, you know in New England you get 12 00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:33,920 Speaker 2: a lot of good coach in there too, so and 13 00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:35,479 Speaker 2: then here with Doug has been awesome. 14 00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 1: He's a great quarterback mind. 15 00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:39,840 Speaker 2: And like I said, I'm taking from each each coach, 16 00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:41,360 Speaker 2: taking what I want and what I want to know 17 00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: and what I want to learn. 18 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,199 Speaker 1: And it's been a great time here. 19 00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: I feel like I've learned a lot about offensive football here, 20 00:00:47,360 --> 00:00:49,120 Speaker 2: so I'm definitely gonna try and add that to my game. 21 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: Is a different style of offense, level of offense? Is 22 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 1: it deeper? How is this work? I think it's a 23 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:56,000 Speaker 1: mixed bag. 24 00:00:56,040 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 2: I think they do we do a lot of things 25 00:00:57,720 --> 00:00:59,600 Speaker 2: really well, you know, just being here for the last 26 00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,600 Speaker 2: couple of month, so it's very detailed. 27 00:01:01,840 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: Attention to detail is there. 28 00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: I don't think there's a lot of drop off from 29 00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 2: each group, which is really good, and sometimes that's hard. 30 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 2: You know, maybe the ones look really good, but then 31 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,200 Speaker 2: the twos and threes not so much. So I think 32 00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,200 Speaker 2: that just shows that the coaches are doing a great 33 00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 2: job in the meetings and the quarterbacks and players are 34 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: all communic communicating, so I think that's important with every team. 35 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,759 Speaker 2: And I think the offense is very versatile. I think 36 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,920 Speaker 2: it's deep, you know, short and in the middle, so 37 00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 2: it's kind of everything in between. 38 00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,479 Speaker 1: So it's it's been good thing to take a lot 39 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,559 Speaker 1: from from Doug. 40 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: What's maybe one thing that's really kind of stuck with 41 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 2: you or been really impressive that you took from Doug. 42 00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 2: I think it's just straightforwardes. I think he doesn't he's 43 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 2: not gonna tell you lies. He's gonna tell you what 44 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,160 Speaker 2: it is. It's the truth. And it's also he does 45 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,720 Speaker 2: it in a very you know, quarterback friendly way because 46 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: he's played right, so you know, he's gonna tell us 47 00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: to go out there and rip it. 48 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: Maybe we had a bad. 49 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: Practice, and he says, hey, you guys, just keep ripping it, 50 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,400 Speaker 2: have fun and try and make great decisions, but also 51 00:01:57,480 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 2: try and try some throws because at the end of 52 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:01,240 Speaker 2: the day, if you don't try, you will never know 53 00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,600 Speaker 2: if you can make the throw. And I think practice 54 00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 2: is a great time to do that. So I've learned 55 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: that from them. Obviously a lot of things, and like 56 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:10,799 Speaker 2: I said, the attention to detail and team meetings and everything, 57 00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 2: I've been. 58 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: Really impressed with. 59 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 2: And that carries out through the whole staff, through the 60 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: whole organization. So definitely been pleased with that. 61 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: How do you have to compete for the second string job, right, 62 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:23,280 Speaker 1: but how do you kind of keep that competitiveness but 63 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: know the guy you're competing against is still a teammate. 64 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: How do you kind of balance step mentality for yourself? 65 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've competed my whole life, and I find great 66 00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 2: joy and competition. I try to just be myself. I'm 67 00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,519 Speaker 2: not gonna change because of one thing or another. And 68 00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 2: like I said, I think we have a great room 69 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 2: here Trevor and CJ. They've been awesome and I feel 70 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,359 Speaker 2: like we're brothers in there, and that's what you want 71 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 2: and you want to balance ideas off each other and 72 00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 2: compete every day, and sometimes we have these net challenges 73 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,480 Speaker 2: and stuff and it's like three brothers out there just 74 00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: throwing the ball around. 75 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 1: So we compete in that regard. 76 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: We compete in every other regard, but at the end 77 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 2: of the day, we're on the same team. We're all 78 00:02:56,680 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 2: working for the common goal. And that's every good team 79 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: that I've been on, that's the case, you know, the 80 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 2: bad ones not so much. Sets up in a way 81 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: and kind of been a mentor for you. 82 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,440 Speaker 1: How has he done that? 83 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: And yeah, maybe any tips or something that's kind. 84 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,240 Speaker 1: Of stuck with you. 85 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean CJ's obviously been fortunate to play in 86 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: this league for a long time, and he's a great dude. 87 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,320 Speaker 2: I definitely love the conversations we have. But hey, he's 88 00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 2: taught me a lot. I think, you know, he was 89 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: in San Francisco, so there's some things that I ran 90 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 2: at Alabama and whatnot that are similar and we always 91 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:30,280 Speaker 2: talk about certain plays like that. So he's very smart 92 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 2: and hard working, and I think the group just fits 93 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 2: together really will. Other than the obvious that you're playing 94 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 2: against other people, what's the biggest difference for you in 95 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 2: a joint. 96 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 1: Practice with the Buccaneers versus and normal once for you guys. 97 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a really cool opportunity and I've 98 00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: been fortunate to be in a couple of joint practices 99 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 2: and experience it, and I really enjoy them. It's different 100 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,160 Speaker 2: when you're in college you don't ever, you know, go 101 00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 2: against another team. But for the young guys, I think 102 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:57,920 Speaker 2: it's good because you're like, hey, you're practicing against another team. 103 00:03:57,960 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: It brings a little bit more juice out. And I 104 00:03:59,760 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: do think that it was a clean practice both days, 105 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 2: which is sometimes hard to do. But I really thought 106 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 2: that both teams did a good job. And it's a 107 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: lot of fun. I mean, you compete, you see different looks, 108 00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 2: you can try different throws that maybe you wouldn't try, 109 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,200 Speaker 2: and now it's it's always weird when you have to 110 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 2: play in the game now too, because you've practiced all 111 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,000 Speaker 2: week and then now you're gonna go into the game 112 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: having known what they've done. But it can always switch. 113 00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: As well to get into that game. 114 00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just depends. Every team is different. I mean 115 00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: some people don't show much and some people show a lot, 116 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 2: so you have to be ready for both sides of 117 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,800 Speaker 2: the story, and at the end of the day, it's 118 00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 2: about going out there having fun and just sticking to 119 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,279 Speaker 2: my rules and try not to do too much. 120 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 1: About no fighting and met practice. 121 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 2: I he was really concerned about me fighting people, so 122 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 2: I know, I think he was very straightforward. I think 123 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:54,520 Speaker 2: we have professionals on our team, and I feel like 124 00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 2: the old guys did a good job. Like when you're young, 125 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 2: you know you're going against another team, there's some competitive 126 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,880 Speaker 2: juices going, but they like explained, hey, fellaws were not 127 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: here to fight, And like I said, I think Tampa 128 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 2: Bay did a great job of doing that and being professional. 129 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,520 Speaker 2: And I think it's just hats off to both head 130 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 2: coaches for making that happen right. 131 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 1: It's it's tough. 132 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 2: Sometimes you see fights break out and it ruins the practice, 133 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:15,359 Speaker 2: but I felt like it was. 134 00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 1: Good Mac Jones versus to Bay, I'd go, yeah, that's 135 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 1: a big dude right there. 136 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,960 Speaker 2: I remember I played against my rookie year, and yeah, 137 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 2: they got a talented group over there. 138 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: And not only that, the scheme is really good. 139 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 2: So he's definitely got a couple of pounds on me. 140 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 2: Even though I'm a little heavy right now. 141 00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: How wild is it? 142 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: Out of the six quarterbacks on the field over these 143 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: two days, Yeah, two of them played high school football 144 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:42,000 Speaker 2: here in Jacksonville. 145 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's pretty cool. 146 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 2: You know John obviously, I've watched him for a long time. 147 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 2: He's a little older than me, and got a chance 148 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,240 Speaker 2: to throw at him and train with him a few times. 149 00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,799 Speaker 2: And he's a great dude, and he's earned everything he's gotten. 150 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 2: He's he's fought for everything and seems like he's a 151 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,560 Speaker 2: great guy. And they got a chance to train with 152 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,080 Speaker 2: him in the off season a little bit. Same with 153 00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:04,119 Speaker 2: Kyle So and Baker as well. Obviously, Baker's journey something 154 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,839 Speaker 2: that's inspiring for me and a lot of quarterbacks. You know, 155 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,559 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be perfect from the start to the finish. 156 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 2: You might go up and down, and then he kind 157 00:06:11,600 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 2: of found his little home. So hopefully that, you know, 158 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:17,160 Speaker 2: can be inspiration for me and many others. And obviously 159 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,560 Speaker 2: I'm focused on right now and being on this team 160 00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,760 Speaker 2: and being great so but yeah, I think it's a 161 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:23,440 Speaker 2: great group of people, and like you. 162 00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: Said, have two guys from Jacksonville. 163 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,839 Speaker 2: It's a big motivation for a great football city, a 164 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,720 Speaker 2: great football town. With really good youth sports and high 165 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,640 Speaker 2: school sports, so I'm definitely looking forward to watching some 166 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 2: of that this fall. 167 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,359 Speaker 1: You might get much as a backup, you might not 168 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 1: get much time in the regular season practicing playing time, 169 00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:44,640 Speaker 1: So how do you approach these next two games knowing that? 170 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I think it's it's different, right. You know, 171 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,640 Speaker 2: some years you're the starter and he may not be 172 00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,840 Speaker 2: playing much. It's a lot of times the coach's decision. 173 00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: But I always want to get out there and play 174 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: as much as I can, and I think that's good. 175 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,400 Speaker 2: Whether you're the starter, back up, third, or fourth, it 176 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 2: doesn't matter. You want the reps in the game. I 177 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,040 Speaker 2: think that that's really beneficial for the young people. And 178 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 2: I don't try and put too much pressure on these games. 179 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,600 Speaker 2: I think it's just it's two games that are very important. 180 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 2: But for a lot of people they might not even 181 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: be playing, but for a lot of people it's very important. 182 00:07:13,160 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: So you have to understand that. 183 00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 2: And I'm just looking forward to competing and it's not 184 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 2: all gonna be perfect, but you got to learn from 185 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 2: it and and continue to build the minimum into the season. 186 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: Have you talked to Baker about that at all, whether 187 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: it was here in training. Just the inspiration that you've 188 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:27,600 Speaker 1: gotten from the story. 189 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 2: I talked to him a little bit last year, I think, 190 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:32,920 Speaker 2: or two years ago when he's on the Panthers, and yeah, 191 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 2: we talked a little bit. And I just enjoy watching 192 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 2: quarterbacks journeys and everyone's just different and I can definitely 193 00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 2: find motivation from that one. And you know, maybe I'll 194 00:07:41,480 --> 00:07:43,880 Speaker 2: pick his brain a little bit more. But he's a 195 00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,560 Speaker 2: great quarterback who's he's fighting back and has done a 196 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,720 Speaker 2: good job of that, and I think a lot of 197 00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 2: people can take note. 198 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Cool. Thank y'all.
