1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: More comfortable from the jump tonight. Where you know, when

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: did you when did you start feeling like you were, uh,

3
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: kind of in the zone. Um, I would say Monday. Um,

4
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: I was pretty excited to get get to this week.

5
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: I was excited to go against him in practice, and

6
00:00:15,480 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: UM just kind of hit the restart button on a

7
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,760
Speaker 1: few things. UM, kind of change my pre pregame routine

8
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:22,880
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit, and UM just kind of play

9
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: a little bit more calm and cool and collective. I'm

10
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: haven't played in a year, so um the first time

11
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:32,240
Speaker 1: in the new offense. UM. And speaking of last week, UM,

12
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: you know it's time to go as smoothly as you

13
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: would want to. But tod I was a little better.

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: But a lot of guys made plays for me. Um.

15
00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean, Evan made a heck of a catch. Um still,

16
00:00:40,360 --> 00:00:41,839
Speaker 1: I made a couple of catches. Cody made a heck

17
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: of a catch so um in the office line and

18
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 1: there was no pressure except one play. And I think

19
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: Eric and Mate really took control tonight and did a

20
00:00:49,159 --> 00:00:52,120
Speaker 1: good job. I don't want to make too big a

21
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: deal play, but he was like third and long right

22
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: after the play that was ruled a fumble and then

23
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: reversed the third and long you could a completion that

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: how much that when you down getting a crew there?

25
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: It was a good route by Sterling. Um. We we've

26
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:09,400
Speaker 1: practiced at we Hawk in high school a few times. So, um, yeah,

27
00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 1: it was a good job. You know, that was really

28
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: good dB, And they got a lot of guys over

29
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 1: there are all pro pro caliber players and yeah, so

30
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: we did a good job. When I play, it was

31
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 1: exciting to see him make a play. Davis, which which

32
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 1: type of fantasy think more important to show you the

33
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: wall was? That was the Sterling and and then the

34
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: touch pass to happen there. I think the biggest thing

35
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: is just finding completions. That was my number one goal

36
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: this week. Um, we just came back to square one. Um,

37
00:01:36,600 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: finding as many completions as you can. Um, you know,

38
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 1: not always taking a checkdown, but um, just being smart

39
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 1: with the football. We didn't turn the ball over tonight.

40
00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 1: Um that fumble I guess reverse, So um that's positive.

41
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: And Uh as an offense, we did really good. I mean,

42
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 1: Kyle came in and played really well, had a heck

43
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: of our un UM didn't know you could do that.

44
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: It was impressive. And then Alex came in do a

45
00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 1: great deep ball. Um. So the quarterbacks did a good

46
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: job and I and uh, a lot of guys made

47
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: plays that I don't know I got. I gotta get

48
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that first. But that was pretty impressive.

49
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: I was fired up for you need something for you

50
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: for your first lups down. I was excited about that one. Um,

51
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: it was even cooler to go going to Wayne and

52
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: that was my first roommate here. Um other than even um,

53
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,160
Speaker 1: Wayne and I have room together for two months. So

54
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: that was that was an exciting moment. It wasn't really

55
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: a good throw, it was a good catch and uh,

56
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: that was fun. It gets the pointson on the board

57
00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: was a long drive. That was That was one of

58
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 1: the longest drives I've I've been a part of do

59
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 1: you need this yourself as well? Now I'm pretty confident

60
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,359
Speaker 1: in my ability. I just think I needed to hit

61
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: the reset button and kind of figure out how I

62
00:02:40,440 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: want to play football. You know, I want I want

63
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: to play football at at a smooth, calm level. And uh,

64
00:02:46,080 --> 00:02:48,400
Speaker 1: again I didn't play my my best game tonight, but

65
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: guys around me my plays. John did a good job

66
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: directing the traffic up front because they have a great

67
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: d line and good linebackers. UM, and our guards played good.

68
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: I mean Will has gotten better from week one to

69
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 1: week two. He gets better every day and practice, and

70
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: Um Pat, I mean Pat had his best week of

71
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,800
Speaker 1: practice I think this week. So UM the office line

72
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: is really come together, and it's been fun to just

73
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: kind of play with those guys and night being a

74
00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: huddle with Nate and all those guys, and UM, you know,

75
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: steal steal some reps. How important is do you think

76
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,839
Speaker 1: it is to get the first team reps and play

77
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,240
Speaker 1: with the again another team's first team defense sort of

78
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: get a truer value, truer evaluation. I think it was

79
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: just fun going against so many good players they have.

80
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 1: Um Darius Slay, you know, he's unbelievab one of the

81
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 1: best corners in the league. Um Davis. That linebacker is

82
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,240
Speaker 1: very good. UM ninety four defense line is very good.

83
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: So they had some really good players of their Maptrish

84
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: is obviously, you know one of the best is what

85
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: what he does. So I think I was just more

86
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,320
Speaker 1: excited about that going against their type of players, and UM,

87
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: it's it's always a lot of fun when stepping a

88
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: huddle and you see Starling Shepard and the soldier and

89
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: Jonathan Stewart next to that. That's, uh, that's pretty cool.

90
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:50,120
Speaker 1: When did you know you last night? You know it's uh,

91
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: co Sherman, go Schuel, let me know. So I was

92
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: excited you knew, you knew you were gonna play that.

93
00:03:55,560 --> 00:04:00,240
Speaker 1: That means something that the first game starting in a while. Um,

94
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: so I was pumped for that. I knew I wanted

95
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: to come out fast, but I knew if we didn't,

96
00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: you know, and things will be okay, I would I

97
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: would have a quarter or two to get things going.

98
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 1: So I think our offense did a really good job

99
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: on a couple of third downs on that long drive,

100
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: really extending plays that have made a heck of a catch.

101
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: And still I kind of got us going. David, you

102
00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: mentioned say you go after Cody a couple of times

103
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,080
Speaker 1: from the ENDZ. Is that just a matter of when

104
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,680
Speaker 1: you gotta don't You're feel confident that you're really fearless

105
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 1: when it comes to he didn't matter who was coming.

106
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: You're aware of Darius Slay. That's per dang sure. When

107
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,800
Speaker 1: he's out there, Um, your eyes kind of go there first.

108
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 1: One of the first things you look at. Um, yeah,

109
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: Cody did a good job getting open and I think

110
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: it's a lot of credits to him, and UM, I

111
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 1: believe in our guys that seem every day and practice. Cody. UM,

112
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: I might not get as many catches as you would

113
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: like to tonight, but I mean he separated, he made

114
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: a heck of a catch on a little slant route. Um,

115
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: that was not a good throw, and um, he made

116
00:04:58,560 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: a heck of a catch to kind of get us going.

117
00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: Were you fairly confident in fumble over? Did you feel

118
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:07,719
Speaker 1: like I wasn't very I didn't really know. Um it

119
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: was it was right when I was in the back

120
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: of my throwing motion. So to be honest, you'd go

121
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: either way. Um, I didn't. I didn't know what I thought.

122
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: It was a fumble to the replay, so, um, you know,

123
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: God is good. Gave him another chance.
