1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: The first down, there was other move Did you feel

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: lively out there? How do you describe your movement? Yeah,

3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: I mean obviously going through progressions and trying to hit

4
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,400
Speaker 1: guys first on third down, And I felt early on

5
00:00:15,840 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: New England did a good job just with scheming us

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,479
Speaker 1: up with our plays and stuff, and you know, we

7
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: had guys running with them anticipating our routes, I felt like,

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 1: And so anyways, just going through progressions and then at

9
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 1: the end, I'm all right, you know we need four

10
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 1: yards here and eight yards here, and and uh so

11
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: I just tried making the play with my legs and

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,600
Speaker 1: was able to move the chain. So yeah, it felt

13
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 1: good though, like early on sort of just moving and

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,680
Speaker 1: getting into the game. It felt like so.

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:46,560
Speaker 2: Much about efficiency and completions and patience. I don't know

16
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: if I've ever seen you throw this many deep strikes in

17
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:52,720
Speaker 2: the game today. What was what was there for the taking?

18
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: You thought?

19
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:56,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we were just ready for any I

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: mean that that's the case for every game. Is we're

21
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 1: ready for if they present certain coverage and then we

22
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 1: have you know, a shot or an opportunity ready and

23
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: we just got to execute and capitalize on them. And

24
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,440
Speaker 1: so for this game, there's a couple of plays where

25
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,440
Speaker 1: you know, their safeties were low and when we had

26
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: guys going deep with Debo and JJ and and uh

27
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:15,920
Speaker 1: So for me, we talked about it on the sideline

28
00:01:15,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: and and I was sort of aggressive to seeing that

29
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: and and let it rip and trust those guys get

30
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: under it and make plays. And that's what they did.

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: So it was a nice bi able to connect on

32
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, those deeper routes and stuff like that and

33
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 1: put that on tape and and give us all some

34
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: confidence boom forward with with the deep ball.

35
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 2: They usually play a lot of man coverage. Were they

36
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:37,240
Speaker 2: doing different things today and.

37
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 1: More and more zone? Uh no, I think they did.

38
00:01:39,959 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: They did a lot of man but with just like

39
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,319
Speaker 1: anticipating with their safeties, like looking guys up crossing the

40
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: field and stuff and and you know sort of just

41
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: ready for some of the routes that we had on

42
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: And so I thought they did a good job with that,

43
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: and and you know sort of making the plays that

44
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: contested catch kind of play or and things like that.

45
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: So you know, props to them, they did a good job.

46
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 1: We've been doing more.

47
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 2: Of that this year, sort of taking away those middle

48
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: round the crossing routes that have been you know, your

49
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 2: your bread and butter. Uh in recent seasons.

50
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like, you know, in the past couple

51
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 1: of seasons that's been you know, something that you know,

52
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 1: we're sort of known for. But you know, people scheme

53
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:21,640
Speaker 1: us up and they do a good job with just

54
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,639
Speaker 1: leverage and taking away certain routes and and so for us,

55
00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: that's that's a good opportunity for us to be able

56
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: to adapt and and work on different things as well.

57
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: So every team is different. They presented a new challenge

58
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,680
Speaker 1: and stuff, but this week was a lot of you know,

59
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: man coverage and and sort of you know, they did

60
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: a good job of just funneling everything back to the

61
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: middle of the field. So they did a good job

62
00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: with it. Reading on the Kittle touchdown certainly wasn't wide

63
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: open there would just let them make a play. Like

64
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: you said, Yeah, I mean, you know, the play was

65
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: for him to break out and then go up. It

66
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: was more of a third down play, but we thought

67
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: we'd get the look for it down there. And so

68
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: I saw him break out and then I would getting hit.

69
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: So I was like, I just need to get my

70
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: guy shot here and give him a chance, So just

71
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: put it up for him and let him come down

72
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: with it. So but uh, he made a he made

73
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: a great play, more way better than a better throw

74
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: than that was like he made he made the play.

75
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: So that's that's George. You are Championship game against Lions today.

76
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: At times, I mean, you're a willing to scramble and run,

77
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: maybe more prevalent than do a lot in college. How

78
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,840
Speaker 1: is it different what you're doing now with your legs,

79
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: if at all, than kind of what you did in college.

80
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not dropping back thinking all right, I'm

81
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: gonna act like I'm gonna, you know, throw and then

82
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: just run and try to make a play. It's not

83
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: like that. You know, I'm still I'm a quarterback. I'm

84
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:50,720
Speaker 1: trying to go through my reads and hit my guys

85
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and move the chains that way. And that's the position

86
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: that I play and I take pride in that. And

87
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: so when something's not there and teams to drop eight

88
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: and they're rushing three, and the last last week we

89
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,080
Speaker 1: saw a play where they dropped nine and rush two,

90
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: and so for for me, it's like knowing that, like

91
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna go through my progression, try to hit

92
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,000
Speaker 1: my guys and windows when I can, but if not,

93
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: then I feel like, you know, I have, you know,

94
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 1: just just the right amount of athleticism to to move

95
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: and and make plays. So I don't need to be

96
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,400
Speaker 1: a freak athlete and all kind of stuff. I know

97
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 1: who I am. But if something presents itself, then you know,

98
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: I'm willing to do what it takes for our team

99
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 1: to move the chains and use my.

100
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 2: Legs like you're just.

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,919
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, I think my ten yards split, just

102
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: to give you guys some perspectives, is faster than Christians

103
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: and debo. I think you guys can fact check me.

104
00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:48,600
Speaker 1: But uh, that's what I mean. Like, I think I

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 1: just have enough to get out of the pocket and

106
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,920
Speaker 1: make a play, pick up five seven yards here or there.

107
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,600
Speaker 1: So I'm not Lamar Jackson's by any means, But anyways,

108
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: do it takes you today? Uh?

109
00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: Big goals for Mason and for the most part you

110
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,760
Speaker 2: were upright.

111
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. I thought they did a really good job, man,

112
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:07,919
Speaker 1: Just obviously it starts with the run and and for

113
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: those guys to be able to give Mason the lanes

114
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: that he had was huge. And then in the past game, man,

115
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job. You know, there's

116
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: some looks where it's a little crazy and stuff in there,

117
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 1: but you know, I think they did an amazing job

118
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: giving me time. A lot of me see guys downfield

119
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,680
Speaker 1: and hit those third level throws. So that's a prop

120
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 1: to them. Man. So they had a chip on their

121
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: shoulder this week at practice and we all did and

122
00:05:30,080 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: so and with that being said, I still think we

123
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 1: can all collectively as an offensive and it'd be better

124
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: and execute and situations. So but very proud of those guys.

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: Uh interception BA across the middle of the field. I

126
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: saw him early and then I went to lead him

127
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: and I didn't see Jibriel Peppers. He sort of fell

128
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:54,360
Speaker 1: off and uh and got it. So Uh's something that

129
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 1: you know, I got to move on to my progressions

130
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: and and not be greedy. I think I hitched to

131
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 1: him two or three times, which is just isn't good

132
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,920
Speaker 1: as a quarterback, Like you go through your progressions based

133
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,559
Speaker 1: off of your hitches and you read with your feet

134
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:06,679
Speaker 1: and that when I got greedy, I saw him across

135
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: the middle and and Gabriel made a good play
