WEBVTT - Sam Darnold Shares Game Plan for Sunday's Matchup | Press Pass

0:00:00.840 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>If I do need to go in there, you know,

0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:06.720
<v Speaker 1>I'll do my best, and you know, whenever I can

0:00:06.720 --> 0:00:09.240
<v Speaker 1>get reps, it's always helpful moving forward.

0:00:10.039 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 2>How do you Rock say that he's a lot from

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 2>you and how you're for the room. How you kind

0:00:14.600 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 2>of embraced that role this year?

0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it's kind of I've always kind of viewed

0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>myself as someone who just tries to help the team

0:00:24.600 --> 0:00:27.200
<v Speaker 1>win however I can, and I kind of did that

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.600
<v Speaker 1>last year obviously when when Baker got named the starter,

0:00:30.120 --> 0:00:32.400
<v Speaker 1>I did everything I could to to help that team

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.400
<v Speaker 1>win and help him get ready for games. So, you know,

0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.000
<v Speaker 1>just continue to embrace that role and do everything I

0:00:38.000 --> 0:00:40.880
<v Speaker 1>can to to help these guys get wins.

0:00:40.880 --> 0:00:43.640
<v Speaker 3>One on UH Sundays. What have you learned from Brock?

0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:49.040
<v Speaker 3>A lot? You know, Brock is.

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:54.280
<v Speaker 1>Just in terms of his process, what he does to

0:00:54.280 --> 0:00:58.760
<v Speaker 1>get ready for the game, He studies a ton and

0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:02.120
<v Speaker 1>he's very meticulous out that and just the way he

0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>goes about, you know, reading the defense, and he does

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:10.040
<v Speaker 1>exactly how he's coached. And you know, he doesn't like

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 1>you just got done telling you guys. You know, he's

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:15.960
<v Speaker 1>he's very he stays with himself better than any quarterback

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>I've been around in terms of just taking what the

0:01:18.440 --> 0:01:21.120
<v Speaker 1>defense gives him, and obviously there's a time and place

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to be aggressive and try to make throws. But I

0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:28.800
<v Speaker 1>think he's, you know, very poised in certain situations to

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.800
<v Speaker 1>be able to just check the ball down and lift

0:01:30.800 --> 0:01:31.479
<v Speaker 1>to fight another day.

0:01:31.840 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 2>I was just talking about how good of a resource

0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.000
<v Speaker 2>you've been for him, specifically on the sideline during games.

0:01:37.680 --> 0:01:40.600
<v Speaker 2>It probably hasn't worked in the opposite direction yet this year,

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 2>but I'm guessing it's gonna happen on Sunday or.

0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Maybe a camp.

0:01:43.880 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 2>Did it happen or do you have any kind of

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:48.960
<v Speaker 2>examples of a pro kind of helping you out in

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 2>the heat of the moment, kind of recalibrate the way

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 2>that you've helped him.

0:01:52.280 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, for sure. I mean, you know, he's been the

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>system now for two years. Obviously this is my first

0:01:57.000 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>year in it, so just different things in terms of

0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.520
<v Speaker 1>you know where to go hot and you know, when

0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 1>I got a blitz, who I should look to on

0:02:05.680 --> 0:02:09.000
<v Speaker 1>a certain concept or a certain play. So yeah, Brock

0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>has been helping me out ever since I got here

0:02:11.639 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>in this system now.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.040
<v Speaker 2>For you know, almost a full season as it's sort

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.079
<v Speaker 2>of compared to other situations out.

0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 3>Of the rooms you've been Yeah, it's a really good system.

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's just there's answers for everything. I'm not

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.639
<v Speaker 1>gonna sit here and compare it to any other system

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.239
<v Speaker 1>that I've been in, but there's just answers for everything

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that the defense does and that allows the quarterback to

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>go out there and play fast.

0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 2>Played a lot of football in your career, but then

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:40.160
<v Speaker 2>this year obviously it's been a different thing. But are

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 2>are you going to be a better quarterback next year?

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 3>Wherever you are? For having been here.

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:48.520
<v Speaker 1>I just think with experience, you know, you continue to

0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:52.200
<v Speaker 1>grow as a quarterback and as a person. But yeah,

0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean with these with these coaches, with these players, Yeah,

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.000
<v Speaker 1>I felt like I've grown a lot this year and

0:02:58.040 --> 0:02:59.800
<v Speaker 1>then I'm just going to continue to take it one

0:02:59.840 --> 0:03:01.679
<v Speaker 1>day at a time and in one game at a time.

0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:02.520
<v Speaker 3>You're going into.

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.480
<v Speaker 2>Your first playoffs, Sam, So how excited are you about that?

0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.040
<v Speaker 3>And I guess how are you going to use this

0:03:09.080 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 3>opportunity to get ready for that? Yeah? I mean just

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:14.959
<v Speaker 3>excited to keep playing more football. Man.

0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>Just to you know, Week eighteen isn't the last week

0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:21.359
<v Speaker 1>of football. That that we're going to be playing here.

0:03:21.400 --> 0:03:24.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's always a good feeling whenever you can go

0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>into the postseason. And yeah, I'm excited about that opportunity

0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, just to continue to help this team.

0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:33.560
<v Speaker 3>However, I can.

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.400
<v Speaker 2>See when you watch this team, the thing that jumps

0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 2>out is that none of these receivers have an ounce

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 2>of fear running across the middle of the field, and

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:43.320
<v Speaker 2>that's not typical around the league.

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 3>Have you noticed that. It just seems like it's pretty

0:03:46.560 --> 0:03:48.560
<v Speaker 3>cool to watch. Actually, yeah, no doubt.

0:03:48.600 --> 0:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean I saw at firsthand when I was, you know,

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on the sideline watching Deebo take a little screen and

0:03:54.520 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>Marlon Humphrey kind of, you know, hit him and he

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 1>just kept going. You know, Devo didn't even see him

0:03:59.840 --> 0:04:02.120
<v Speaker 1>come and you know, he just kind of looked like

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.240
<v Speaker 1>he just bounced right off him. So, yeah, got a

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.080
<v Speaker 1>ton of great, great talent, and like you said, a

0:04:08.080 --> 0:04:11.040
<v Speaker 1>lot of guys that are very selfless in the way

0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:12.920
<v Speaker 1>that they play and the way that they act around

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:13.400
<v Speaker 1>the building.

0:04:14.760 --> 0:04:18.640
<v Speaker 3>It's a special group that's kind of ancient history. But

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.719
<v Speaker 3>you could have gotten more money to go elsewhere. You

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:27.400
<v Speaker 3>talked about the reason reasons why it like any regrets or.

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.080
<v Speaker 2>Like you know obviously you haven't gotten to play that much.

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.880
<v Speaker 3>Uh, what you knew wasn't guaranteed, but you know you

0:04:32.880 --> 0:04:38.599
<v Speaker 3>integrets about your decision. No, no, it was IR regrets. O. Good, alright,

0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 3>you appreciate it, guys,
