1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: It's time to get inside the Giants.

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Hulet's Giants.

3
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 1: I like it out the Giants bubbling. Give me some

4
00:00:07,560 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: job part of the Giants podcast network.

5
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,920
Speaker 2: Let's Roll Giant Fans. You're always asking me questions when

6
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 2: I go out to dinner, whatever I do in my neighborhood,

7
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:17,680
Speaker 2: and the question is always is, Hey, do you like

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart? How's he doing so Jackson? Thanks for being here, man.

9
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:23,400
Speaker 2: We can answer some of these questions for the fans.

10
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt, Buzz, you're being here. Thanks for taking

11
00:00:25,360 --> 00:00:25,640
Speaker 3: the time.

12
00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 2: You know. I think always with young quarterbacks, I like

13
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,440
Speaker 2: to say this, what's the big difference here compared to college.

14
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,280
Speaker 4: I think, you know, the first thing that comes to

15
00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 4: mind is just you know, how much the safeties can

16
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:39,400
Speaker 4: play the full field, and it's a lot harder to

17
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 4: manipulate the defense with your eyes, just because you know,

18
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:43,519
Speaker 4: the guys on the other side of the ball have

19
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 4: so much experience with it. So I just think, you know,

20
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 4: the windows obviously get a little bit tighter, sure as

21
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:50,960
Speaker 4: you go to the next level, but you know, there's

22
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 4: so many elite players all around the field, so you know,

23
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: the competitions is at the highest level and I'm loving

24
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:56,920
Speaker 4: it so far.

25
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: Man, you're you're a practice today. And it was hot

26
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 2: as heck out there today.

27
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 3: It ain't like that Mississippi heat though, It's not.

28
00:01:05,200 --> 00:01:07,560
Speaker 2: I was gonna really, Mississippi is hotter.

29
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 3: Than what it was here, hotter and more humid.

30
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 4: I felt like I was in paradise outside football paradise today.

31
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 2: That's that's pretty funny. So the heat doesn't bother you

32
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 2: and nothing like that. How about just throwing the football

33
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: in the heat.

34
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:21,000
Speaker 3: No, I feel good.

35
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: You know, the ball gets a little bit more tack

36
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,480
Speaker 4: and yeah, you know, it just feels good to be

37
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 4: out there with the guys.

38
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 2: I'm speaking for all X quarterbacks out there. At my age.

39
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,039
Speaker 2: We hate the fact that the NFL football. Now we

40
00:01:32,080 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: hate it. Why is that because you get to rub

41
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,880
Speaker 2: them up, put mud on it everything. Oh, how you

42
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: like it? Honey? Do you want it? Really?

43
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:40,479
Speaker 3: You know you like to throw it out of the box.

44
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 2: Hell no, I hated it. Okay, you know the game

45
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:45,080
Speaker 2: would be over, My hands would be orange. Yeah you

46
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 2: know that. We all complained about it.

47
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 3: So we're getting special truths.

48
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: So those footballs, yeah, they're great.

49
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 3: They're perfect.

50
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: Huh, did y'all throw a lot of seams down there.

51
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 3: Oh yeah we did. Yeah, yeah, we pushed the ball

52
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 3: down the field.

53
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: It seams are like stealing, Come on, it really is.

54
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, you were the best at Huh.

55
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:00,000
Speaker 2: How'd you know that?

56
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 3: Watchington Sate?

57
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, tell them the truth. Go ahead, you can

58
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 2: tell it.

59
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,560
Speaker 3: I don't care because you said I told you. That's right.

60
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: I told you, So it's all good.

61
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 3: I didn't want to say it like that.

62
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:14,040
Speaker 2: I'm getting old, so the hell with it. I'll talk

63
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 2: about myself, no doubt. I'm with you, all right. Good,

64
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:19,680
Speaker 2: So real quick, you know you played for Lane Kiffin. Uh,

65
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: I've kind of followed his career and knew his father,

66
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,080
Speaker 2: who coached one of my sons down in Tampa Bay.

67
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 2: Give us a little thing about Lane Kiffin.

68
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, Lane's one of one. I don't think there was

69
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 4: another coach in the country that's like him. I was

70
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:36,040
Speaker 4: able to build a really special relationship with him. You know,

71
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 4: we were always you know, hanging out off the field.

72
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: You know, whether it was just you know, chilling at

73
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,120
Speaker 4: his house, just talking ball, talking life, whatever it may be,

74
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 4: going to the pickle ball courts and you know, him

75
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: getting his ass and on that.

76
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 3: So we're always just competing and have a lot of fun.

77
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,240
Speaker 4: But uh oh, I definitely had a really special relationship.

78
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: With That's great. I thought, maybe that's so, but it's

79
00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 2: pretty cool that you could go and beat your head

80
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: coaches but in something.

81
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then he would try to, like, you know,

82
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,800
Speaker 4: manipulate practice because he was mad because.

83
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 2: Of really, oh well, I appreciate that. Yeah, But the offense,

84
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,360
Speaker 2: you know, and I disagreed with this many times during

85
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: the off season, they say, all the offense is very unique.

86
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: Nobody does this. I don't know how to translate to

87
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 2: pro football. And I watched most of your games. I go,

88
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 2: that was pro football. You know, that's what I saw.

89
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 2: Did you hear that how people thought about the offense

90
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: and said these things?

91
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

92
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 4: I saw a few things like that, And you know,

93
00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 4: it's just a lazy narrative that has kind of, you know,

94
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 4: gone for too long.

95
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 3: But you know, I knew that once.

96
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 4: You know, coaches and everybody was to kind of watch

97
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 4: the tape after their seasons, after the call season finished,

98
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 4: they were able to kind of see how much was

99
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 4: put on the quarterback shoulders and Lane's offense. And I

100
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 4: just don't feel like you can really say that to

101
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 4: a coach who has a lot of you know, NFL

102
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: guys who have had a ton of success and Heisman

103
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:58,920
Speaker 4: winners as well. So and I definitely feel like I

104
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 4: was put in the right situation when I was there.

105
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,400
Speaker 2: So USC for one year, you go to Ole Miss

106
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: for three years. How did you pick Old Miss, uh

107
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 2: from other schools?

108
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, So coming out of high school, I was I

109
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 4: was under recruited. I didn't get, you know, at that time,

110
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 4: a Power five offer until you know, almost week five

111
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 4: of my senior year.

112
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 3: So everything kind of came late.

113
00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 4: And you know, my biggest offer at high school was USC,

114
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 4: pretty and uh, you know, unfortunately, you know, I had

115
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,520
Speaker 4: a great time there, but you know, our coaches got fired,

116
00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 4: and I kind of knew that it was best for

117
00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 4: me to make a move, and I wanted to go

118
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 4: play in the SEC. You know, I wanted to play

119
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 4: at the highest competition, highest level, uh, in the best conference.

120
00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: So that kind of narrowed it down to those SEC schools.

121
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: And then you know what I saw with coach Kiff

122
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 4: and then him bringing in coach Weiss, you know, me

123
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 4: and him being there at the same time, and just

124
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 4: you know, the blueprint of how they're going to teach

125
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 4: me to play quarterback and help develop me for the

126
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 4: next level.

127
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 3: Uh, you know I couldn't say no to that opportunity.

128
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,440
Speaker 2: Well, I gotta I gotta ask you this question. It

129
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 2: was kind of floating around today as I was walking

130
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,359
Speaker 2: around that you coach, you talk to coach day Ball,

131
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 2: and you said what you you wanted more? You want

132
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: to you wish you had two practices a day.

133
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, no doubt.

134
00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:10,720
Speaker 4: I mean that's that's just kind of how I am.

135
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 4: Especially anytime that I make like a little mistake, you know,

136
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,520
Speaker 4: I want to go back and fix it immediately. So

137
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 4: I just told him, after, you know, day one of practice,

138
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,479
Speaker 4: I wish we could go back to the old.

139
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 3: Two days we had two practices in one day.

140
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a big stat guy, but what you did

141
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: at Ole Miss is it was great. Well, you threw

142
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: for a lot of yards, no doubt, almost twelve thousand

143
00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 2: yards in your career, but you rushed for fifteen hundred yards.

144
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: And I think giant fans and everybody out there is

145
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 2: thinking they want to see the quarterback, of course be

146
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: a good thrower and passer and all that, but they

147
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:42,039
Speaker 2: want to see move around and make some plays with

148
00:05:42,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 2: his legs.

149
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

150
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I think that's a part of my game. That's

151
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 4: it's kind of under underrated in a way. And you know,

152
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: I ran the ball a lot, you know, through my

153
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:51,479
Speaker 4: time at Ole Miss, so definitely have a lot of

154
00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,040
Speaker 4: experience doing it. And I just think that, you know,

155
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 4: when you have a quarterback who's mobile and then you know,

156
00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,200
Speaker 4: can make every play that he needs to, you know,

157
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: with his arm, and I'll extend plays with his legs,

158
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: I think that it just causes a lot of stress

159
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 4: on the defense. And I think you kind of see,

160
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:06,920
Speaker 4: like nowadays, how the game has changed a little bit

161
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: with you know, many more quarterbacks who have the ability

162
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: to run an throw.

163
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, how is coach Kippin about some of

164
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 2: your runs which you were careful but not all the time.

165
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 2: What would he say to you?

166
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,479
Speaker 4: I think that he just figured me out early that

167
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 4: I was just a competitor, and you know, I try

168
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:28,159
Speaker 4: to choose my matchups wisely. At times, I've you know,

169
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 4: kind of been a limit a little immature when I

170
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 4: was younger trying to run over defensive lineman. I know

171
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 4: this level you can't really do that.

172
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 2: Well.

173
00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 4: You can try, you can try, yeah, for sure, but

174
00:06:36,360 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: I definitely want to stay clear of those guys.

175
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 3: But you know, I think that when you.

176
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 4: Have a quarterback who has the intensity and the mindset

177
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 4: that he's going to give it all for his team.

178
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 3: I think that that, you know, kind.

179
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,840
Speaker 4: Of raises the bar and gets guys excited to know

180
00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 4: that you know, they're going to put it all on

181
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 4: the line for you as well.

182
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 2: If you thought about just the first preseason game, getting

183
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: a chance to go out there and play.

184
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 3: I'm excited, you know.

185
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 4: Obviously it's a it's a dream of mine as a

186
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,599
Speaker 4: kid to play in the NFL. You know, this is

187
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:03,479
Speaker 4: just you know, the start of it for me. So

188
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 4: excited to get out there on the field to compete

189
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,560

Speaker 2: Okay, here we are Tommy DeVito, third year quarterback. It's

208
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: going fast, and you know you're a Jersey guy. You

209
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 2: went to don Bosco. I know you hear that a lot,

210
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 2: but I had a son that went there and everything,

211
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: so I still follow it. And great career there, good

212
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: start in college. Played a great year at Illinois, Right,

213
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 2: that was pretty good one.

214
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 5: It was a good time.

215
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was good. So tell us third years. What's

216
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 2: the difference between your first year and what you're doing now?

217
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 5: First year, I'd say figuring out the NFL, right, like

218
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,679
Speaker 5: the day and day out process. You don't have school anymore,

219
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 5: you don't have this that like it's strictly football. So

220
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 5: being able to form a routine. Take that from the

221
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 5: older guys, kind of take from each different person. Figure

222
00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 5: out what you like what you don't like, and then

223
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 5: as well as learning the offense right and learning the

224
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 5: game and the speed of it, so really trying to

225
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: get all that year one and then year or two,

226
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,080
Speaker 5: it slows down. Now I'm like another offense in and out.

227
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 5: Now it's about manipulating defenders and make.

228
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 2: It play pretty amazing. I mean, I can't remember what

229
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: it was like for me, but you played at the

230
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 2: University of Illinois. That's big time football, big ten everything

231
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 2: like that. Well, when you came here and you got

232
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: your first practicer too, what was your thought about the

233
00:08:57,400 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 2: physical part of the game with the NFL.

234
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 5: Players, Yeah, practices, and honestly, college practices are a lot

235
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,480
Speaker 5: more aggressive, I'll say. You know, I think they're everybody

236
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,079
Speaker 5: takes care of each other in the NFL, so that

237
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,079
Speaker 5: everybody understands that we need to make it the Sunday.

238
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,559
Speaker 5: So I think that part of it wasn't as crazy

239
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 5: as I thought. But the thing that impressed me most

240
00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 5: was like everything between the ears, Everybody, even if they're

241
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 5: not the fastest, going to feel which everybody is fast,

242
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:22,199
Speaker 5: but even if they're not the faster, you have a

243
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,200
Speaker 5: faster receiver like TV's like they're very instinctive and they

244
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 5: understand concepts and not just like a certain persons. So

245
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 5: really the mental side of it is.

246
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: But that's really interesting. Well in college is somebody gets hurting,

247
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 2: give me the next one, because there's a lot of guys.

248
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 2: So just judging yourself. So mentally you've really progressed in

249
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 2: that that area because the meetings, that's the first thing.

250
00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, for sure, Yeah, yeah, day and Calf. I mean

251
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 5: even Daves. You know when I was when I was younger,

252
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 5: they were they were on me, but in the best way. Possibly,

253
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 5: not as you know I've been used to. That's when

254
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 5: I was younger in high school with coach.

255
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,440
Speaker 2: Told he was Oh my gosh, I for he would

256
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:55,080
Speaker 2: be on me.

257
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 5: I always told his last class, so thankfully I had

258
00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,160
Speaker 5: him as a coach. He was awesome. But there was

259
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 5: a lot of screaming and yet oh a lot of everything.

260
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 5: A lot of running, a lot of running, like serious

261
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 5: and I don't like looking back, and I don't know

262
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 5: how I did that. Yeah it was. It was good, though,

263
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 5: tough to do it for the better.

264
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: So physically just yourself always, you know, I love that part,

265
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: you know. I during the off season, I like to

266
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 2: watch guys throw and all that stuff. But physically the

267
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:21,719
Speaker 2: person that came in the league, Now, what if you

268
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 2: really fine tuned in what you do.

269
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, thrown wise, I think it's more of the smaller

270
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 5: movements in the pocket. I think obviously everything NFL condens

271
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 5: is right, the windows get smaller, like things in college

272
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 5: that aren't open or open in the NFL, and then

273
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,840
Speaker 5: just the dns now in this the NFL are so

274
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 5: much faster and it's bigger and everything from college, so

275
00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,720
Speaker 5: every pocket movement has to be that much smaller. You know,

276
00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 5: everything you do is tiny in a pham booth. So

277
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 5: really just staying within my frame within that pocket and

278
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 5: then continuing to make the throws and throw people open.

279
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's pretty just to talk about today just for

280
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,200
Speaker 2: a minute. Yeah, you moved around the pocket once, real tight.

281
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: You're right, it's very It's like a little circle. You

282
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: got to stay in the circle and you made a

283
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 2: great throw. And I mean when you do that even

284
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 2: in practice, it's man, Yeah, it feels good.

285
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,080
Speaker 5: It feels good. Yeah, but it feels even better when

286
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 5: you're practice it in the office, working out, working on

287
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 5: enough booming lights up, doing a live reps it's like, ah, that's.

288
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 4: What it was.

289
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 2: Well, how's training camp going for you this year?

290
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 5: It's going well so far. Yeah, second day or first

291
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 5: real day of full pads, right, so run emphasis, run heavy,

292
00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 5: tae let the O line link. Yeah, that was awesome

293
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 5: to see that the running backs get going. But everything's

294
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 5: been going well. Ota has went really well. So you know, again,

295
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 5: my third year in the offense is me kind of

296
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 5: helping the guys in the room, you know as well,

297
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 5: which is kind of crazy to think about now. It's like, hey,

298
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 5: there talking protections. When I was the young bug ass,

299
00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 5: not that Jamis and Ruster young money means, but you know,

300
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 5: just the terminology and the offense the first kind of

301
00:11:46,520 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 5: times being around it. But now and now I'm just

302
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 5: kind of helping jacks, you know, like feather it in

303
00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:52,679
Speaker 5: and kind of give them this tidbits here and there,

304
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 5: because you know, it's like, yeah, a water hosts a

305
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,320
Speaker 5: lot of information a lot of times, but they've been

306
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,000
Speaker 5: doing a great job.

307
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 2: It's pretty cool.

308
00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 3: You know.

309
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 2: Here you are in your third year, you're still you know,

310
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 2: finding yourself in the NFL and moving forward, and you're

311
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:10,000
Speaker 2: telling Russell Wilson, you're teaching that's pretty good. I yeah, yeah,

312
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: but we have a.

313
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,280
Speaker 5: Really great room and I've enjoyed it throughout OTAs and

314
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,720
Speaker 5: now during camp, and you know, preseason's gonna come fast.

315
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: It is. I know it's early, but do you sense

316
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,679
Speaker 2: a little more energy or any what is there? What

317
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: do you sense this year in training camp? I know

318
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:26,800
Speaker 2: it's young, but compared to the previous years.

319
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think the attention to detail is everything, starting

320
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,560
Speaker 5: from the coaches down, starting from the drawings on the plays,

321
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 5: like minuscule things, but it helps with that, and then

322
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,720
Speaker 5: that comes from the learning and the studying of players.

323
00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 5: I think that even the rookies coming in, you know,

324
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 5: are really sitting there and grinding out these plays. Like

325
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 5: when I'm with the group and the twos and the threes,

326
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,120
Speaker 5: like they're locked into the plays and everything stems from

327
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 5: the ones. I think Russ does a great job using

328
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,000
Speaker 5: his voice and his leadership, and I think that it

329
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 5: trickles down so everybody feels like it's bought in right now,

330
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,520
Speaker 5: and it's it's the best feeling I have had since

331
00:12:58,520 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 5: I've been here this far.

332
00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:02,320
Speaker 2: So it's also and how about my last thing is

333
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 2: just this preseason football is coming are you do you

334
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 2: get nervous tonight before you nervous got before the game?

335
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: Are you just like, man, we'll see what happens now.

336
00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:13,280
Speaker 5: I was my rookie year for sure, just because it's

337
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 5: happening fast. It's like, you know in college you get

338
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:18,040
Speaker 5: a whole month before even your first game. It was

339
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:19,839
Speaker 5: like you get like two weeks of training camp for

340
00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:22,520
Speaker 5: a preseason. It's a little nervous now, but now I'm shoot,

341
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,880
Speaker 5: I played Monday night football games, so I'm good for

342
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 5: a preseason. Yeah.

343
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: I think you're gonna see a lot of action this preseason.

344
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: I just have a feeling I hope, so I look

345
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:30,960
Speaker 2: forward to it. Oh that's great, Well, thanks for sitting

346
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:32,560
Speaker 2: down with me and having a few minutes. No, it's

347
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:33,319
