1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:01,720
Speaker 1: Do you feel like Hampton going I mean we we

2
00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: we talked to you like we can go at this

3
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:04,640
Speaker 1: point a little more than that. You feel like it's

4
00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: it's been going over last week. I think it's been

5
00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: going well. Um. I think as an offense, Uh, you know,

6
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: we've we've been progressing. We've we've been improving, and that's

7
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: the challenge every day to to to improve. And um,

8
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: you know, been focused on some different situations, trying to practice, practice,

9
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for everything. Um, you know, every part of

10
00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 1: a game in certain situations that are gonna come up.

11
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: So I feel good, I think, uh, you know, I

12
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: feel like we've been improving. What do you call her

13
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 1: first preseason action as a rookie, that first start, first,

14
00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: the first time you got it? Um, yeah, I remember

15
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:47,319
Speaker 1: being excited and and uh just to run out there

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,559
Speaker 1: on the field for the first time. Was it was

17
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: exciting to to be out there. Um. I think we

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: hit a couple hit a couple of plays and went

19
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: down and scored. Uh could be wrong, but but I

20
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:01,320
Speaker 1: was just to be out there for the first time,

21
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:06,000
Speaker 1: live football and uh, you know, playing in the stadium, Um,

22
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, taking NFL snaps butterflies. Yeah, I was certainly

23
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,399
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous, but once you get that first

24
00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 1: snap and get going, um, it was just fun to

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,120
Speaker 1: be Not to Daniel, how much preseason? Where do you

26
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 1: think you need, Like you want to play half of

27
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: one of these games, or we know you're not playing

28
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: this week, there's two more. How much do you think

29
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: you need to be ready? Uh? Yeah, you know that's

30
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,760
Speaker 1: really not that's really not up to me. I think, Um,

31
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 1: you know, my job is to be ready. I think

32
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: practice and and making sure you know, I'm focusing every

33
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: day to improve and you can get to where I

34
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: need to be as a player. So um, you know,

35
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: I think that's uh not my job. My job is

36
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: just to just to be ready. Zack Wilson said something interesting.

37
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 1: It's the Jets practice yesterday. He said he makes throws

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: in practice that he doesn't. They're necessarily make it a

39
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 1: game to see kind of what he can get away with,

40
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: what he can you know, can I get that ball

41
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,720
Speaker 1: in there? Do you do that? Or do you take

42
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,960
Speaker 1: actice exactly like you take a game. Only do things

43
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: you would do and a game and practice. Um you know, yeah,

44
00:02:07,360 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: I think there's certain situations maybe you treat a little

45
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,520
Speaker 1: bit differently, Um, you know, and you're learning always learning

46
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: in practice. I think that's the most important thing. Uh.

47
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: You know, I heard what he had, what he said,

48
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: and I think, um, you know it's comment about uh,

49
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: you know, learning and improving and learning what you can do.

50
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 1: I think I think that's true. I think, you know,

51
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: you certainly want to treat it like a game. You

52
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: want to uh, you know, get in the habit of

53
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: of you know, reading defense and putting the ball where

54
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it needs to be. But um, yeah, your chemistry with

55
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,239
Speaker 1: Cadarius obviously you guys haven't had a ton of reps

56
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: there in camp. Yeah. I think it's I think it's good.

57
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: You know, he's a um, he's a smart guy. Um,

58
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: and so I think it's just just reps. He's getting

59
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,919
Speaker 1: out there and improving. I think he's got a good

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 1: understanding of the offense, and I know he's he's working

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,959
Speaker 1: hard to to get out there as much as you can,

62
00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,160
Speaker 1: you know. And he was he's right with David Morris,

63
00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 1: and it's fromobile. Did you know him all? Yeah? I

64
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,760
Speaker 1: really didn't know him, didn't know him great before that.

65
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: David obviously knows him well and trained him for a

66
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: while so, Um, it's cool to have that connection, but um,

67
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: I didn't know him before. You think you seen him

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:19,119
Speaker 1: throw can throw it? He can throw it for sure.

69
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: He's got a he's got a big arm, so um yeah,

70
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: you can slay it. Upside of that, you have gotten

71
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: a lot of reps Sterling Shepherd even show over the

72
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: course of three years, it seems like your guys connection

73
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 1: that's getting closer. Like how would you describe that relationship

74
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 1: you have with him and how much you guys kind

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: of understand you know, timing and all that stuff with him. Yeah,

76
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 1: it's it's been Uh, it's been great. I think, Um,

77
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: you know, he's had a he's had a good camp

78
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: and someone who who I've certainly spent a lot of

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: time with, you know, the past couple of years, and um,

80
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: you know, threw a lot together this offseason, threw a

81
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 1: lot together off season before that. I think we've just

82
00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 1: we spent a lot of time, you know, on the

83
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: field together. So that certainly helps. And um, you know,

84
00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: he's had a great kid. They had stills to Charlotte

85
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 1: and the saw seasons, a lot of time with you.

86
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, his sisters down there, so um, you know,

87
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: made sense for him, made sense for me. Um, you know,

88
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: he's an extremely hard working guy who who uh will

89
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: run routes all day and and uh you know, get

90
00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:20,160
Speaker 1: up and do it again the next day. So he's

91
00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:23,359
Speaker 1: he's an extremely hard worker and uh good football player.

92
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 1: Thomas and his development from what you've seen as a

93
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 1: rookie till now, yeah, you know Andrew's Um, you know,

94
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: I think Andrew's done a great job. And he's uh,

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: you know, extremely talented player, a smart player, and a

96
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: guy who comes to work every day, works hard and

97
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: and and prepares well. So um, you know, I think

98
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: it's just just you know, getting reps and and working

99
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: working uh up front, seeing things, seeing looks and and

100
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: then you know, working as a group. And I'm certainly

101
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: part of that also, So just working on that work

102
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 1: in the chemistry. And I think those guys have done

103
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 1: a lot of good things, as can't I a Polish

104
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: Would you prefer or to play Saturday? We know you're not.

105
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: Is that a conversation between you and the coach to

106
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: determine that? How do you what do you think of that? Yeah,

107
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's not uh not my decision, and and um,

108
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 1: you know I'm the player's a coach, so I certainly

109
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,720
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's the way it goes. And and um,

110
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 1: you know my job is to prepare and and prepare

111
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 1: as if I was playing, and help the team prepare

112
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:24,800
Speaker 1: they get leman, he said on the in a radio

113
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: interview the other day, Like, it's a big year for

114
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: you and for the team and for everybody. That's kind

115
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: of like stating the obvious. How do you sort of

116
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 1: what do you sort of think of that, or how

117
00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,160
Speaker 1: do you sort of approach that? Yeah, I mean it's, uh,

118
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: you know, it's a big year for for all of us.

119
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: You know, every year is a big year, and and um,

120
00:05:44,120 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 1: you know there there's uh you know, playing the NFL,

121
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: you're expected to perform and perform well. So, um, it's

122
00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: a big year for for me, it's a big year

123
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: for everyone. I know you didn't have a pre season

124
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: last year, but this this preseason seemed strange in the

125
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 1: sense that you're resting early and then the last game

126
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 1: Jo said, you're gonna play more as like gearing up

127
00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: for the games. Uh. Yeah, I really haven't thought about

128
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: it a whole lot, kind of just uh focusing on

129
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: on what we're doing now and preparing now, uh, you

130
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: know through these first three weeks of camp and and

131
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 1: focusing on on what we're doing here. So uh, like

132
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: I said, my job is to is to be ready

133
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 1: and and uh works improve every day. Daniel, Well, we'll

134
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 1: take some more building off what Jordan just asked you.

135
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,760
Speaker 1: The reason people keep focusing on year three I think

136
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: is because Josh Allen and Baker Mayfield had big year

137
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: at three years last year. Do you know either of

138
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,240
Speaker 1: those guys enough to reach out to them to see,

139
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:41,680
Speaker 1: you know, maybe why it clicked them so much for

140
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: them in year three? Um, yeah, there's um, you know,

141
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: there's been Uh yeah, there's certainly stuff to to learn

142
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: from those guys and and learn from people who've had

143
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: success uh you know early in their careers, whether it

144
00:06:57,560 --> 00:06:59,840
Speaker 1: be two, three or four or you know, whatever it is.

145
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: You know, my I'm focused on, uh you know, improving

146
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400
Speaker 1: myself and making sure that I'm I'm in a position

147
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:07,279
Speaker 1: to play well and this offense is in a position

148
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: to play well. There's a lot of it the second

149
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: year in the system, and that's a benefit. But like

150
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: give an example, like how how does that benefit? Like

151
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:17,040
Speaker 1: how how do you think that helps you guys, Um, well,

152
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: I think you know, if you look at where we

153
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,280
