1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:08,360 Speaker 1: So how's it going, Bill Belich action started forward? Mm hm, 2 00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: you hear something like that. 3 00:00:09,600 --> 00:00:11,440 Speaker 2: What does that do for you when. 4 00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:15,880 Speaker 3: It comes to Yeah, the fundamentals, and it's really important 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:17,959 Speaker 3: to me, like the footwork. I know, we've talked a 6 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,440 Speaker 3: lot about footwork, wearing my eyes, all that stuff, and 7 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:25,320 Speaker 3: obviously also just kind of like having fun too. That's 8 00:00:25,320 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 3: what I think of because when I'm at my best, 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:30,040 Speaker 3: I'm having fun enjoying everybody. That's one of the good 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,199 Speaker 3: things that I can do is communicate, and I need 11 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,720 Speaker 3: to do a better job of that. And we're out 12 00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:36,880 Speaker 3: there playing a game that we love. Right now it's 13 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:39,040 Speaker 3: not looking too good, but we got to flip the 14 00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 3: switch right and start over and figure out ways to 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,479 Speaker 3: go out there and have fun and sling the ball 16 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,360 Speaker 3: around and guys go and make plays and then celebrate 17 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:48,839 Speaker 3: with each other too, Like we work so hard. It's 18 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 3: been such a theme that you know, we haven't really 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:53,280 Speaker 3: scored a lot of points, but when we do, we 20 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,960 Speaker 3: got to go out there and celebrate and enjoy it. 21 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: Your head, coach and off we affirmed their hate you 22 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: as the theme starting back. 23 00:01:01,440 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: Does that mean to you and how do you take 24 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:04,959 Speaker 1: that going forward? Yeah, I appreciate that. 25 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 3: I think a lot of that is really good and 26 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 3: a lot of things I need to improve as a quarterback. 27 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 3: So that's what I think of what can I do better? 28 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 3: You know, what are the actual issues instead of just 29 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,520 Speaker 3: like throwing stuff up in the air, Let's look at 30 00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 3: the tape, you know, like the plays and the game 31 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,160 Speaker 3: eleven on eleven. 32 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:22,520 Speaker 1: And really see what's going on. 33 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 3: That's the important part to me because you can always 34 00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 3: try and problem solve that way, but when you're kind 35 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,720 Speaker 3: of just chasing different things and narratives and things like that, 36 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,200 Speaker 3: it's hard, right. But when you sit in the room 37 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:35,400 Speaker 3: together and look at the tape, there's a lot of 38 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 3: things that you can be like, Okay, I'm going to 39 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:39,679 Speaker 3: do this, or I'm going to try and you know, 40 00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 3: do this drop on this play or read it this 41 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 3: way or whatever. So it's all about trial and error. 42 00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: But at the same time, you want it to be 43 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: really good on game days. And that's where you know, 44 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,880 Speaker 3: I've been disappointed with myself because it hasn't been great 45 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 3: on game day, So why why hasn't it? 46 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: And that's something that I've focused on and all of 47 00:01:56,040 --> 00:02:00,840 Speaker 1: your teammates have. Sorry, exactly my favorite sitters. 48 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 3: She's actually really mad at you. 49 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 2: You mentioned I know you're focused on Raiders this week, 50 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:17,120 Speaker 2: solid statistical season because you're looking since then, what do 51 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,760 Speaker 2: you point at as a cause for those issues? Since? 52 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, I try not to look back and look back 53 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,160 Speaker 3: that far. But at the same time, I really look 54 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,720 Speaker 3: at the positive things and what have I done well 55 00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:31,840 Speaker 3: as a quarterback you know, in college here or whatever, 56 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,800 Speaker 3: and I haven't been consistent enough, So really focused on 57 00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: the positives, like all right, I get the ball out 58 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 3: on time. You know, my feet and my eyes are 59 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 3: in the right spot. Usually it's pretty good. So that's 60 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,800 Speaker 3: something that I'm trying to focus on. And then, like 61 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 3: I just talked about my ability to communicate with the 62 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 3: younger guys on the team, Like I'm not necessarily a 63 00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 3: younger guy anymore. It's my third year and I got 64 00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,960 Speaker 3: to start playing like that and communicating like that. So 65 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,920 Speaker 3: that's important to me, you know, whether it's route depths 66 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 3: or hey, you know, pop, this is what I want 67 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 3: you to do here or whatever, And it's all about 68 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,880 Speaker 3: communication and you know, taking it both ways from the 69 00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 3: coaches to the players, players to the coaches, and that's 70 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: something that I'm going to focus on this week and 71 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 3: I already have. And that's one of the things that 72 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:10,600 Speaker 3: I've done really well in the past. 73 00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:11,280 Speaker 1: Bill. 74 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,400 Speaker 4: In all of your teammates have I all commented about 75 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 4: how mentally tough you are. 76 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,080 Speaker 1: How do you go about overcoming any feelings of self doubt? 77 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely a real thing, right when you're not 78 00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:24,119 Speaker 3: playing too well. But at the same time, like I said, 79 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: there's a lot of things I can do really well, 80 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,440 Speaker 3: and one of those things is my ability to communicate 81 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 3: and be myself and I haven't done that here at times, 82 00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 3: and I just need to be consistent with that and 83 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,120 Speaker 3: and be mac And a lot of the guys I 84 00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 3: have a great relationship with, and there's some of my 85 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 3: closest friends, you know, not only on the field, but 86 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 3: off the field. 87 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: So let's carry that into the games. You know. 88 00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 3: I feel like we do it in practice, you know, 89 00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 3: obviously you guys saw that in training camp, Like we 90 00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 3: were out there having fun and then the game comes 91 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 3: around and we're kind of like, you know, I don't 92 00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 3: know what it is, you know, it's just it's just 93 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 3: I want to go out there and have fun and 94 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,160 Speaker 3: do our jobs and celebrate with each other and you know, 95 00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 3: when somebody gets knocked down, pick them back up up 96 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 3: and all that stuff. So trying to change the narrative 97 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:07,160 Speaker 3: there and really just play football together from the sense. 98 00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: Of whatever you face adversity, just dig up. 99 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: You know, all sason work harder. 100 00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,120 Speaker 2: It's been frustrating where it seems like you're putting in 101 00:04:16,160 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: all that extra work everything else themselves. 102 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: Are just not there. 103 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what I always think about, is why aren't 104 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 3: they there? You know, and keep grinding away. It might 105 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:28,440 Speaker 3: take a little bit of time, but keep grinding and 106 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 3: it might not happen the next day or whatever. You know, 107 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,320 Speaker 3: you work really hard. You guys work really hard at 108 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,279 Speaker 3: your jobs. You know, it might take a year or 109 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 3: so to get you know, where you want to be. 110 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 3: But that's something that's hard, right because it's like, I 111 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,559 Speaker 3: really want it to be good right now. 112 00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: So just continuing on the process is kind of my 113 00:04:43,400 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: biggest thing. 114 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 3: And then, like I talked about earlier, communicating with the 115 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,000 Speaker 3: guys whoever's in there, whatever, however I can help win 116 00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 3: and have good plays on the field, I'm gonna I'm 117 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:53,240 Speaker 3: gonna try and do. 118 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 2: Man, how do you avoid getting too tight or playing 119 00:04:58,279 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 2: too tight into. 120 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,479 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, I think just playing free and kind of 121 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,960 Speaker 3: going through I call my pre snap checklist and I 122 00:05:09,040 --> 00:05:11,680 Speaker 3: try to do that every play and just stay consistent 123 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: with that, and then once the ball is snaps, you 124 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 3: just got to go out there and play. And when 125 00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 3: I've done that, it's been a lot better than when 126 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: I haven't, So I definitely want to focus on that. 127 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 3: And I've talked about, you know, doing my job a 128 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 3: lot and what's my read and all that stuff, and 129 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 3: that's really good. But at the same time, you have 130 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: to play free. You can't be locked in on one 131 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 3: guy or whatnot, whatever the situation is, and it takes 132 00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,800 Speaker 3: all eleven guys, and that's something that I need to 133 00:05:34,839 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: improve on for sure. 134 00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,080 Speaker 4: A couple of weeks, right, holding back to back games, yeah, 135 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 4: I can't imagine getting pulled in the third game. Is 136 00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 4: there still maintaining your role as the quarterback of the team. 137 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 4: Is there more pressure on you this week knowing this 138 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,040 Speaker 4: is what the last two. 139 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: Weeks have looked like. 140 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 4: And it goes that way again. 141 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 3: I always talk about how really each week is a 142 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:59,560 Speaker 3: new week, and I know it's tough to say that 143 00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,800 Speaker 3: when they kind of looked very similar, but it is. 144 00:06:01,839 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: It's a new week, and we didn't play our best. 145 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,919 Speaker 3: I didn't play my best in the last game. And 146 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,360 Speaker 3: we've moved on and now it's all right. We got 147 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,120 Speaker 3: a really good opponent and the Raiders, and I'm gonna 148 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: focus on, like I talked about, communicating with the guys, 149 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,040 Speaker 3: having fun and then doing my part as the quarterback 150 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,279 Speaker 3: and communicating on the sidelines and all that stuff. 151 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: So that'll really help. I know it will. 152 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 3: It's been proven to do that, and I think that's 153 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,039 Speaker 3: what I'll focus on and not really focus on the 154 00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 3: results because the results will come. You got to stick 155 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 3: with the process and the communication. 156 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,720 Speaker 1: Energy enjoy seem to be speaking with more energy enjoyed. 157 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 1: Where is that come from in the last forty. 158 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 3: Eight hours, And so really just thinking about a lot 159 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: of things and talking with you know, the guys in 160 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,520 Speaker 3: the locker room or guys like Hunter or whoever. 161 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,159 Speaker 1: You know, guys who've played a lot of football in 162 00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:50,599 Speaker 1: this league. 163 00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:53,360 Speaker 3: And you know, one of the best things that I 164 00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 3: do is my ability to communicate.
