1 00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:03,279 Speaker 1: Certain situations that made progress and and others I haven't. 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: So um, you know that's the challenge is to keep 3 00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:11,159 Speaker 1: making progress and too, um make progress and you know 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 1: throughout the throughout the game, throughout the you know, situation, 5 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: the decision, whatever it is, to continue to improve everything. 6 00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: Pat was saying how he thinks that one of the 7 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:26,000 Speaker 1: type of artis screen. I was working on ball security. Um, 8 00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,040 Speaker 1: how do you do how do you take better care 9 00:00:28,040 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 1: of the football and kind of avoid some of the 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: fumbles and turnovers that seem to become an issue. Um, 11 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: I think just making sure I have two hands on 12 00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,600 Speaker 1: the ball in the pocket, I think is is a 13 00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:44,159 Speaker 1: big thing. Um, you know, just just not yeah, not 14 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:48,400 Speaker 1: letting myself, um get lazy with that at all. I 15 00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 1: just making sure I'm consistent with with that and when 16 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,640 Speaker 1: I'm running keeping the ball secured. And I mean, I 17 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:57,000 Speaker 1: think all those those little things that you've heard for 18 00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 1: a long time that are just kind of fundamental to 19 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: any one holding the ball a position holding the ball, 20 00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: I think, um, are things that need to do better. 21 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 1: Have you looked back at that at your turnovers? And 22 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,360 Speaker 1: said he has an example where I didn't have two 23 00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: hands on the floe there has an example where I 24 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: was elusive the ball and you know, I mean sometimes 25 00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 1: you get a blindside hit in the street and not 26 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,880 Speaker 1: love you do. Is it uti enough issues there that 27 00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,520 Speaker 1: you look at and say that's the least Yeah? I 28 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: think so. Um, I mean you want to avoid you 29 00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,039 Speaker 1: want to avoid all those I think you know if 30 00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: you have one, it's it's too many. So I think, um, yeah, 31 00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: that you just gotta do a better job overall with it. 32 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: On the first one, did you feel in coming You 33 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,880 Speaker 1: just think maybe you had time to let that screen 34 00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:41,080 Speaker 1: develop or do you not feel that he is that close? Um? 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 1: I felt to him A yeah, I mean I thought 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,679 Speaker 1: I could get it off or else I would have Um, 37 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have tried to, but um yeah, I mean 38 00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 1: that's something I gotta. I gotta feel better and since 39 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: better and getting uh, get rid of it quicker. I've 40 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: got a young quarterback said, I feel the need to 41 00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: make a point on every fight. Do you have a 42 00:01:59,760 --> 00:02:02,440 Speaker 1: time in your mind this is okay? If something's out there, 43 00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 1: I gotta get rid of it. Or is that something 44 00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 1: that maybe you don't think about while you're out there. 45 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: I think that's uh, I think that's important to always 46 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: have that, uh in mind, and I need to do 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,600 Speaker 1: a better job I think in a lot of cases 48 00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: and just sensing when you know, when that timer is 49 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 1: going off or when maybe I do have an extra 50 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: half second. I mean I think kind of just developing that, 51 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,360 Speaker 1: continuing to to learn in those situations and and you know, 52 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: helping using that to help me progress and help me 53 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,440 Speaker 1: in the next next situation. So, UM, yeah, I mean 54 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,720 Speaker 1: I think I knew you need to do a better 55 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:40,800 Speaker 1: job with it. You get down on a day like today, 56 00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, this is your first time through 57 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: this is are you down? You need to be picked 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: up a little bit. Uh. I mean i'd say we're 59 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,720 Speaker 1: all we're all disappointed. You know, I don't think, um, 60 00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:56,359 Speaker 1: you know, when we when we uh you know, when 61 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: we expect, when we put a lot into him, expect 62 00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: to win. I think that's um, you know, we're all 63 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: we're all disappointed. But um, you know coaches said before, 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 1: we're not discouraged, and we're not at all, um you know, 65 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: gonna go into elect allow it to affect this week's 66 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 1: preparation and and uh you know what we um you know, 67 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: looking forward to getting done this week would have been 68 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,480 Speaker 1: like watching the film the last couple of weeks. Um. Yeah, 69 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,240 Speaker 1: you never want to like to watch uh you know, 70 00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: film when you're losing. But there's stuff too, stuff to 71 00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,960 Speaker 1: learn from it. Are there plays to be made that 72 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:32,880 Speaker 1: when you look at the film you just sit there 73 00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 1: on site. Yeah, I don't know, I'd see it. Yeah, 74 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: there's there's always gonna be a few of those, and 75 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: yesterday there were certainly a few. Um. So yeah, just 76 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: trying to trying to learn from those, understanding when those 77 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: opportunities are going to be there and what you can 78 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: uh you know see to too get you there in 79 00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 1: the progression or um, help you see it earlier. What 80 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,680 Speaker 1: do you think you're doing better now you did? You know? 81 00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: I think there's certain certain throws, certain certain areas, um, 82 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,720 Speaker 1: And just managing the offense that I understand better and 83 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: I'm doing better, but um yeah, I mean challenges to 84 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 1: do everything better. Coach Sherman said that the touchdown to 85 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,599 Speaker 1: Ellison was a new play. Um, that that's correct, that 86 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: was a new play. Exput. So when you execute a 87 00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: new play you score big with a touchdown. Is that 88 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 1: something that you put in your memory back and say, 89 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: that's a good one, you know. I mean that that's 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,560 Speaker 1: that's something I did well. You know, they gave me 91 00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: a new play and I executed. H yeah. I mean 92 00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:36,400 Speaker 1: I think, uh, we run a lot of new stuff 93 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,160 Speaker 1: every week. It's more getting a game plan. It's it's uh, 94 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: you know a lot of what we do. So um yeah, 95 00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 1: good good to be able to execute that. Have you 96 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,680 Speaker 1: Have you ever had a stretch in terms of ball 97 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: security in your career where you know, things just seem 98 00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,359 Speaker 1: to be going against you a couple of weeks in 99 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:55,640 Speaker 1: a row. And if so, how do you attack it? 100 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,640 Speaker 1: How do you go after? Is it a film study thing? 101 00:04:57,720 --> 00:05:01,440 Speaker 1: Is it just a lived through it thing? Or you know? Yeah, 102 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: I mean, uh, I think it's just just working on 103 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: it and making sure I'm always mindful of it. I think, um, 104 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 1: you know, the situations where you're when you're not thinking 105 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: about it, or you're trying, uh you know, you're you're 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: you just lose kind of focus of that and start 107 00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 1: worrying about something else or um, you know, letting like 108 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: I said, letting yourself get lazy with it, or holding 109 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: the ball too long. I mean, I think it's kind 110 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,119 Speaker 1: of those situations where you know, you need to remind 111 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 1: yourself and you need to kind of practice that through 112 00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: the week. I think is big so that you're, um, 113 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: you know, you do it naturally and it's something that 114 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,799 Speaker 1: you don't have to think about as much. But um yeah, 115 00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 1: I mean I think, um, that would definitely be a 116 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,279 Speaker 1: focus on mine this week. Will you do more full 117 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: security drills this week? Or will you do the same 118 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:51,440 Speaker 1: amount this week? I'll imagine I'll do more. Do you 119 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: feel any pain after being sat eight times? Or is 120 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: he just how how you got hit that you know 121 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: registers the pain? I mean, if you can it hard once, 122 00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: is it any worse than getting exact day times? Uh? 123 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: Not really. I think it just depends on the depends 124 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,719 Speaker 1: on the hit. Yeah, I feel I feel fine today. 125 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: How did you rado as a run blocker? It's not great? 126 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: But you will not be practicing that a lot this week, 127 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: I don't think. So who do you do do you 128 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: turn to when you have bull struggles? Is this somebody 129 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: kind of I don't, I mean I think not not necessarily. 130 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,640 Speaker 1: I mean I think you know, certainly here with with 131 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:41,360 Speaker 1: coach Hermer, cochla Um, you know, Eli and Alex, all 132 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:44,520 Speaker 1: those guys who I've worked with a lot and and uh, 133 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: you know, helped me a lot. So I'll continue to 134 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: to lean on them and learn from them. A lot 135 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:54,120 Speaker 1: of guys in the slot and were talking about help 136 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: when you when you stepped in here. The idea of 137 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: being aggressive is one thing they like about you. That's 138 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:04,359 Speaker 1: one of your best qualities. Do you Is it a 139 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,520 Speaker 1: fine line between being too aggressive at times? Or you know, 140 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: is that part of this whole struggle You don't want 141 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,920 Speaker 1: to lose what you do really well, but also you 142 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: want to focus on what needs to improve. Um. Yeah, 143 00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: I think that's constantly, um you know, it's constantly something 144 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 1: to evaluate and to you know, improve and understand. Um 145 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: you know, how you can do better is is when 146 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: to when to try to take advantage of opportunities and 147 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,320 Speaker 1: when to um you know, be smart to take care 148 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: of the ball, throw it away or whatever that Uh 149 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think just kind of understanding that, learning 150 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: from when when you don't do it well and and 151 00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: you know, using that to help you the next time. 152 00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean I think there's um, you know, 153 00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: plenty of room from improvement there obviously, if not the 154 00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 1: first Brookie quarterback to have a rough patch. Do you 155 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: take any comfort the fact that obviously plenty of guys 156 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: have gone through a stretch like this and you know, 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: come up better on the other one. Um yeah, I 158 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 1: mean I think, uh, I don't know if I've uh 159 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: thought about that a whole lot. I think kind of, 160 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: you know, the focus right now is to is to improve, 161 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,119 Speaker 1: is to fix what what we need to do better 162 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,800 Speaker 1: and and try to get back on track this week. 163 00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: But um, yeah, I mean, I'm I'm confident, you know, 164 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:22,720 Speaker 1: certainly confident myself. I'm I'm confident in the team that, um, 165 00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: you know, we will we will fix it and and 166 00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: uh you know, hopefully get back on track this week. 167 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,720 Speaker 1: You have a guy in the room we went through that.
