1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,679
Speaker 1: By first question I have for you is how different

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,160
Speaker 1: did it feel being out there? Not just that you're

3
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: not at Lambeau but you're at Gillette, but being out

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: there as the starting quarterback and a quarterback who had

5
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,120
Speaker 1: a week's worth of game planning and preparation under your belt. Yeah.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,600
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing was having another week of practice,

7
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:22,200
Speaker 1: another week of getting the mental reps, physical reps before

8
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:24,880
Speaker 1: and after practice, dare in practice with the old linement,

9
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: with the receivers, running backs, and kind of getting a

10
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: you know, an extra week under my belt with those guys,

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:33,960
Speaker 1: and then you know, come Sunday, I believe we played,

12
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 1: you know, a really good team football as from offense,

13
00:00:37,159 --> 00:00:40,920
Speaker 1: OH line played really well. Running backs Romandre Damien ran well,

14
00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:43,839
Speaker 1: receivers played well. We played a really good game of

15
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: team football. How'd you sleep Saturday night? Slept really good?

16
00:00:48,680 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: Actually slept better than I thought I was really Yeah.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:55,000
Speaker 1: So so the night before you had just no jitters,

18
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 1: No nothing, right, It's just I'm more calm the night before.

19
00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 1: I get the jitters, probably a little bit before the game,

20
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: and then after usually the first play, I've kind of

21
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 1: settled in and calmed down and kind of start focusing

22
00:01:08,080 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: on task at hands. Do you ever do like the

23
00:01:09,959 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: whole visualization exercise where like, you know, you close your

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: eyes and you visualize yourself, you know, completing this pass

25
00:01:16,560 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 1: or completing that pass. Every once in a while, if

26
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,759
Speaker 1: I'm going through the script with some of the coaches,

27
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of like that. Okay, if they give us

28
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: certain coverages, what's where we go on with this? But um,

29
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: other than that, that's not really But with the coaches,

30
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 1: I've had that and sometimes when I would visualize it

31
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:35,960
Speaker 1: like it would end horribly wrong, that's good to say,

32
00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: maybe not the best advice and close his eyes. So no,

33
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: not actually like you. Before we came on, we were

34
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: talking a little bit about high school football and Texas

35
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:50,800
Speaker 1: and it's much bigger deal. I just learned their spring

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,040
Speaker 1: games and spring football and all that down there, and

37
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: you know, Massa choots a little different. But when, like,

38
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 1: have you evolved in terms of how you deal with

39
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: quote unquote the big stage, the spotlight because you said

40
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: thirteen thousand people are coming to the rivalry game in

41
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: high school. Ye, then you get to college and you

42
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: play in big games there. I'm assuming the last couple

43
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,800
Speaker 1: of weeks are the biggest crowds you've ever played in

44
00:02:11,880 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: front of. But along the way, how did you develop

45
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,080
Speaker 1: sort of the way you deal with the big stage. Yeah.

46
00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:20,119
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is it always comes down

47
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: to how you prepare. Going to high school, like you said,

48
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 1: you playing Rivals games, you have fourteen thousand people. You

49
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: go to college, you have seventy, and then now in

50
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: the NFL, I don't know what it was in Sunday

51
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think the biggest thing is for a

52
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: quarterback personally, is how you prepare that week. How much

53
00:02:36,639 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 1: you get into the film, how much, how serious you

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: take the reps during the practice, treating it like game reps.

55
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,839
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing of you know, being

56
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: able to handle how how many fans are in the

57
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: stands or the atmosphere. Is how you prepare the week before.

58
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: How much did Mac help you out this week in

59
00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: terms of preparation. We heard Bill Belichick say that he

60
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: was pretty integral in terms of the game planning. Do

61
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 1: you have any one on one time with him to

62
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: prepare for the game. Yeah. We meet almost every day

63
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: with you know, of course quarterbacks we meet almost every day.

64
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: We go through the you know, the install of that

65
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: day or the game plan of the week, and ask

66
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,079
Speaker 1: him a lot of questions because you know, he's have

67
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: a whole year unerneath this belt, so he knows a

68
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,119
Speaker 1: lot more than I do, so being able to pick

69
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: his brain about certain things and certain play certain coverages,

70
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,320
Speaker 1: and he always has a great answers for me, and

71
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,639
Speaker 1: he's been helping me a lot. So Bill was talking

72
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: about how you have a good ability of you know,

73
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: seeing what's going on and then bringing it to the

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: sideline and explaining it and then like you know, you're right,

75
00:03:40,680 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 1: you said, like you when you explain what you see,

76
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: you're usually right, and then therefore you're able to kind

77
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: of figure out how you're going to fix everything. Is

78
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that just an inadability with you or is that something

79
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 1: that you've worked on to learn how to do. That's

80
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 1: definitely something that I've continued to work on for the

81
00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: past years, all the way back, you know, going back

82
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: to freshman year of college watching film. And I think

83
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing is when you're watching film with

84
00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: that team of that week, and then you watch film

85
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: all week, you go into the game Sunday and you

86
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: see something you're like, Okay, that's what they showed against

87
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 1: this team. So you go on the sidelines, they're like, Okay,

88
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 1: I saw this guy doing this or I saw them

89
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:18,360
Speaker 1: you know this corner doing that, and you just talk

90
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: on the sideline. So for the next series, if you

91
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: see it again, you know how to attack it. How

92
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: challenging is it for you to dissect the coverages and

93
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 1: how teams are trying to manipulate coverages and trick you.

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: Some teams can be really good at disguising coverages. I

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: think that's another thing that goes in how you prepare

96
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the week before watching film, kind of seeing what their

97
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 1: tendencies are. You know, there's, like I said, there's some

98
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: defenses that do really good job and you know a

99
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: lot of it comes down to how you see it

100
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 1: post snap, how you see the safeties, how you see

101
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: people moving around post snap, and that's kind of how

102
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 1: you get your indication. One of the things we've seen

103
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 1: in sideline shots the last couple of weeks is you

104
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, Joe Judge, Matt Patricia after plays after series,

105
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 1: what are those interactions like are you simply listening? Is

106
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: there a lot of questions from your part in terms

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 1: of what just took place, and can you appreciate that?

108
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: That's I mean, that's three pretty experience. That's NFL head

109
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: coaches that are sort of your sounding board right there

110
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,840
Speaker 1: with So what's that like? I mean, it's it's a

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 1: blessing to be surrounded by those three guys and kind

112
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: of picked their brain really every day. And you know,

113
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: that's sideline conversations. It's sometimes it's questions by me of

114
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: you know, what do we want to do next series?

115
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: How do we want to attack this personnel, this coverage?

116
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Then it's questions by them, Okay, what are you seeing?

117
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: How are you seeing this? How you seeing that? And

118
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,840
Speaker 1: then a lot of it is just continuing to talk

119
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:40,359
Speaker 1: about what we're going to do the next play, the

120
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: next series, and kind of getting ready to getting my

121
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,280
Speaker 1: mindset ready of you know, what we want to do

122
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: the next series to attack the defense. Has any of

123
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: it been like what the hell was that? Like, you're

124
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 1: pretty new to this, this NFL quarterback thing. It's only

125
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:53,159
Speaker 1: been less than two full games. Have you had a

126
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: little bit of that at any point? I'm sure there's

127
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: been some throws where they're like, okay, you need to

128
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,360
Speaker 1: make that. There's definitely and some of those. But that's

129
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,679
Speaker 1: why we have, you know, the next week of practice

130
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 1: to get through that, work on it, watch the film,

131
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: and kind of take a day by day and get better.

132
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: You called your offensive line the MVP of yesterday's win.

133
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: How much have they been to help in supporting you?

134
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: Especially stepping up into the starter role this week? This

135
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: past week, I mean it's been huge, Um, you know,

136
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: specifically talking with da He's been in the league for

137
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,360
Speaker 1: many years. Um. You know, you go across the boro

138
00:06:28,440 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: with Trent, Mike, Mike Big, Mike Isaiah, and then Cole

139
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: and then Marcus Cannon. You know, those guys really helped

140
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,000
Speaker 1: me the you know, the last two weeks and really

141
00:06:37,040 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: the whole year. I've been asking them what they've what

142
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 1: they're seeing, what they want, kind of picking their brain

143
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: a lot. And Um, this week, especially yesterday, I mean

144
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 1: they've they played really well and I do believe they

145
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 1: are the MVPs of you know, the offense. Defense played

146
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: well so they shut them out, So I think they're

147
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,720
Speaker 1: the true MVPs. But um, as for the offensive wise,

148
00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: oh line was definitely the MVPs for us. When you

149
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 1: had Romandre run for one hundred and sixty yards. He

150
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 1: only gave up one sack, one pressure, so I stay clean.

151
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they played a real all around

152
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: great game. What is Cole's perspective like, given that you

153
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 1: guys are both rookies, He's obviously been out there through

154
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: pretty much every snap of the season. What's his perspective

155
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: like when you talk to him? Oh, I mean he

156
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: loves football, he loves learning football. So I think, like

157
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: everybody else on this team, I think we're taking it

158
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: all day by day, learning from you know, pass games,

159
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:31,119
Speaker 1: coming to the film on Mondays, and you know, taking

160
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: these practices as to get better every day. And that's

161
00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:35,000
Speaker 1: how the mindset of this you know, I think the

162
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: entirety of this team is Cole Strange. Reminds me of

163
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:39,960
Speaker 1: a guy like if I was backed up in an

164
00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: alley and I needed one person to come help me fight.

165
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: Cole seems like the one guy I think most guys

166
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 1: would kind of pick. He has seems like he has

167
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: that edge to him. Yeah. I mean we have a

168
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: lot of guys, I think all our entire offensive line

169
00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: or one of those guys that you would want to

170
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 1: take an alley with you. But I really there's not

171
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: one person that you can single out on the old line. Um,

172
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: I think they can all be some guys that you

173
00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:05,840
Speaker 1: want to taggle on with you. So, what makes um

174
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: Jacoby Myers so good at his job? I mean he's

175
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: a great route runner, he's a great you know, he

176
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: catches the ball. Well, Um, you know, we have a

177
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 1: great all around receiving corps. You know it's not just

178
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: starting with not starting with him, but I mean we

179
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: have really a lot of depth of the receiver position.

180
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:24,480
Speaker 1: And you know, just like last game, he know, he

181
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: runs great routes, he gets open, he's where he's supposed

182
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: to be like everybody else is in this receiving corps.

183
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,480
Speaker 1: And um, you know, for us quarterbacks on this team,

184
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: we're very blessed to have theaters receivers that we have

185
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,840
Speaker 1: on this team. But you're nodding for you think we

186
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: had a good debate about Jacobe earlier. Um, so are

187
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: you a hard greater? Because on paper, Boom, you just

188
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 1: look at the score twenty nine nothing, win, shut out everything.

189
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,839
Speaker 1: How do you look at you know, red zone, you

190
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: guys weren't able to punch it in or third down?

191
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: Like do you do you look at those negatives and say,

192
00:08:56,880 --> 00:08:59,839
Speaker 1: you know, we need to improve here here here moving forward.

193
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:03,079
Speaker 1: There's you know, especially to days like today where you

194
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: go back and watch film and there's all these there's

195
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: certain plays where if you know, one thing that goes right,

196
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: you know, it turns into a touchdown and turns into

197
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 1: a first down. And that's always that's a part of football.

198
00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's a game of inches. So that's why

199
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: you go into every week you continue to learn, you

200
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: continue to grow as a team, and you know, you

201
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: try to continue to fix those problems and continue to

202
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: grow on the good things you did the week before.

203
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:28,240
Speaker 1: How challenging is it for you to be in this

204
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:30,840
Speaker 1: I don't want to say limbo, but it is kind

205
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: of a limbo in terms of waiting to see if

206
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: the starting quarterback is going to be back and preparing yourself,

207
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: keeping yourself ready to go. It's a very unique challenger

208
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,520
Speaker 1: in as a rookie. Yeah, I think you know, what

209
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,400
Speaker 1: I was told when I first got here was take

210
00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,199
Speaker 1: advantage of your opportunities. And that's kind of my mindset

211
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:49,920
Speaker 1: of you know, going every day at practice and you know,

212
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,839
Speaker 1: just when my opportunity is there, I try to take

213
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: advantage of as much as I can. And you know,

214
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:55,120
Speaker 1: I have a great team around me. They have a

215
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: lot of support, and you know, I just lean on

216
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: those guys and you know, really just pick their brain

217
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 1: about everything. So we're talking to Bailey z Abby, quarterback

218
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: from the New England Patriots, and obviously your your parents'

219
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: girlfriend came into town. Yes, was that a little overwhelming?

220
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 1: A little? I mean, did you have to kind of

221
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: say listen, I'm not the backup now, I'm actually the starter.

222
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: Was there different rules and regulations as far as you know,

223
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 1: out of towners coming in? He's like, hey, yeah, don't

224
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: call me. Yeah, what was what was that like? Yeah,

225
00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:25,320
Speaker 1: it was more like, Okay, if you have any questions

226
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: for me, uh, talk to Hannah, my girlfriend, ask her.

227
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 1: I'm focused on football for you know, these past weeks

228
00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: and the rest of the year. So, I mean, what

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: was it like getting your first win? I mean, what

230
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 1: was that feeling like? Games over in the locker room,

231
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 1: we're driving home. Is it a surreal moment for you

232
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: first NFL win as a rookie? Definitely, it's you know,

233
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a dream come true. Of course, I've been dreaming

234
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: of it since I was five, to be a quarterback

235
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL, and for today or for yesterday to

236
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: go the way it is, and how well we played

237
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 1: as a team, how we play as an offense and

238
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,840
Speaker 1: defense especial team, So how great we played together was

239
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, a great way to get to win and

240
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: kind of get going in the right direction. And you know,

241
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,080
Speaker 1: starting tomorrow, we're on to next week. We're actually today,

242
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: we're on to next week and getting righty for the Browns.

243
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,719
Speaker 1: We are just seeing you on a game field for

244
00:11:11,720 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the first time, obviously, but you've put in literally months

245
00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:16,480
Speaker 1: and months of work to get here, and right after

246
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 1: the draft you got rookie camp and then OTAs in

247
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: mini camp, And how much of this do you feel

248
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: like as a result of the work you put in then,

249
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: and even with a guy like Jakobe Myers who was

250
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:27,760
Speaker 1: out of action for a couple of weeks and then

251
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: you know he's right back out there and he's your

252
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: favorite receiver in the game based on the numbers you

253
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,080
Speaker 1: guys connect on a touchdown, Like, how much of that?

254
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,199
Speaker 1: I think Bill calls it money in the bank Sometimes

255
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: that you invested in the summer is paying off now. Yeah,

256
00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,559
Speaker 1: you just kind of have the mindset of trying to

257
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: get one percent better every day. You know, you have

258
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: some of the greatest players of all time. They're still chasing,

259
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: you know, there's still some things that they believe that

260
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 1: their game is at, you know, where they want to

261
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: be at. So they're still working every day to fix things.

262
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the mindset you have to have

263
00:11:57,320 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: every day. It's just getting better every day and working

264
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 1: on tweaks and fundamentals of your game, and no matter

265
00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 1: if it's six months or however long, you continue to work.

266
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: We get a little glimpse of the postgame celebrations that

267
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: you guys have in the locker room. Patriots dot Com

Speaker 1: He just told make congratulations on the win. You know,

276
