1
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:04,279
Speaker 1: You have a graph gain on your pants from sliding

2
00:00:04,280 --> 00:00:10,960
Speaker 1: and trying to practice. Good idea for you to do that? Um,

3
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: probably not the best idea, but um yeah, just trying

4
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:17,959
Speaker 1: to finish the play. But you hopefully aren't don't have

5
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,560
Speaker 1: to be in that situation to begin with. But um right,

6
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: not smart, I got well start? How different is that

7
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:37,520
Speaker 1: gonna be? Exactly good? Good chance for the day? Um yeah,

8
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm I'm certainly excited. But you know,

9
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: I don't think the preparation changes a whole lot. You know,

10
00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: I think, um, going through the week, we'll do the

11
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: same things, and you know I'll certainly do the same

12
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,360
Speaker 1: things to prepare myself to to play. So, um, you know,

13
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: in these last three games, I've you know, obviously known

14
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play a good bit So just the same,

15
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: you know, the same pepper should uh going into this

16
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: week because your last time to play it for a while,

17
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 1: does that make it kind of make sure you get

18
00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: the most out of this honestly? Um, I mean, like

19
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: I said, I don't think the preparation changes, uh for me,

20
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:17,720
Speaker 1: I think, um, you know, I'll take the same approach

21
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I have these last few games, and yeah, you know,

22
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,959
Speaker 1: not really looking forward to two. Uh you know, Dallas,

23
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: just just focus on this week. Maybe sure I'm prepare

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 1: something you want to get out of this? Um, I

25
00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 1: think just just seeing improvement. I mean I think just

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 1: um making sure that I'm not making mistakes I've made before,

27
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: correcting things, and and I think I think just kind

28
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: of a you know, being able to kind of measure

29
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 1: improvement from the first second to third to now the

30
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: fourth game, I think is the biggest thing for me. So, um,

31
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,360
Speaker 1: you know, moving the ball and scoring points is always

32
00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: the always the goal. But UM, you know, I want,

33
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I'm I'm moving forward. How

34
00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: is this, um, the process been for you in terms

35
00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: of you know, when you get drafted into this point,

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: is it's been easier or harder? About what you expected? About? Um?

37
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: About what I expected? I mean I think, Um, I

38
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 1: think I realized there would be uh you know, good days,

39
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,799
Speaker 1: bad days, and UM, you know a lot of learning.

40
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: This is a um you know a big step for

41
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: for anyone. You know, just just sudjusting to um, you know,

42
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:31,959
Speaker 1: playing in the NFL. So it's been it's been good,

43
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: But um, you know, I think I realized there'd be

44
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 1: there'd be a lot to learn. There's a lot of um,

45
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of things still to learn. But UM,

46
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you know, I think it's been uh, it's been a

47
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:46,720
Speaker 1: good process so far that they're wanting to play right away.

48
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,040
Speaker 1: It's kind of your reaction just about all the optimisms

49
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:57,440
Speaker 1: from giants about UM, you know what I mean. I think, UM,

50
00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,799
Speaker 1: like I've said, I mean, my focus is on is

51
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: on uh you know what we're doing here, what what

52
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,959
Speaker 1: I'm doing to to help the team move forward. And

53
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: you know, I understand there's a there's a plan and um,

54
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,680
Speaker 1: you know the coaches have have a plan for that.

55
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,880
Speaker 1: So you know, I certainly trust that in my job

56
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: is to prepare myself, but but also to um, you know,

57
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: help the team move forward, help the team prepare, um

58
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,920
Speaker 1: and whatever my role is. And I'm uh, you know,

59
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: certainly uh accepting that you were You've admitted that you

60
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:32,360
Speaker 1: were back in April May that you know, it wasn't

61
00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:36,520
Speaker 1: a hugely popular pick with people, and now it's a

62
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: wildly popular to pick with Peo mohere. You just as

63
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:43,440
Speaker 1: aware of how quickly the tide has urn. Um I

64
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: don't I mean, I think, UM, I haven't paid a

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: whole lot of attention to it, you know, I think, um,

66
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, not not necessarily focused on that a whole lot.

67
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I certainly appreciate, um the support, but you know,

68
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 1: like I said, I'm focused on on what we're doing here.

69
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: I'm focused on um helping this team move forward. That's quarterback.

70
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:10,119
Speaker 1: You get a lot of the phrase when it when

71
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: it's good, and a lot of the phrase it's bad.

72
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,080
Speaker 1: I think have you come to expect that? I think so.

73
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's um, you know, that's part

74
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,719
Speaker 1: of the playing the position. I think and UM, you know,

75
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: you realize that, uh, you know, kind of kind of

76
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,240
Speaker 1: whatever level you're you're on. I think that's something you

77
00:04:29,279 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: realize early on. And granted it's a much larger scale

78
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: at this point, but that's just kind of the nature

79
00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: of the position. And and you certainly, uh you know,

80
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: you have to accept that. And uh, yeah, I think

81
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: I've I've realized that. How have you felt about how

82
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: you performed with some very anomously practically what's your impression

83
00:04:54,400 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 1: on how you perform? Um? I think you know, uh,

84
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: I think I've done some some good things and and um,

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, don done some bad things. I mean I

86
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: think kind of uh you know, I think more than anything,

87
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: I've made progress, I feel like and that's encouraging to me.

88
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: I think when I, you know, look to where I was,

89
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 1: uh you know, rookie Mini camp O t s, I

90
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 1: think I have, um, you know, improved a good bit

91
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,320
Speaker 1: since then. But um, like I said, I mean, I

92
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of things still to to work on.

93
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:32,599
Speaker 1: So um, you know, I think I'm uh you know,

94
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: I I'm encouraged, but you know, I think I realized

95
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 1: that there's there's still uh still a lot of work

96
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,040
Speaker 1: to be done. If you can give us one example

97
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: of one specific yea where you think you've improved much

98
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: like the first day you hear you had a bad

99
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:47,120
Speaker 1: read on play and now you know that played back

100
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,040
Speaker 1: like back then. What can you give us an example

101
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: of where you've improved so much? Um? Yeah, I think, Um,

102
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: I think a big part is uh, you know, getting

103
00:05:56,920 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 1: used to just just different looks from a from a defense,

104
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:02,840
Speaker 1: and how many different looks you can get, especially with

105
00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,919
Speaker 1: our defense, and and um you know, I remember throwing

106
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: a certain we're making a mistake twice throwing a ball

107
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,440
Speaker 1: where I shouldn't have and seeing part of the field

108
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: but not seeing the whole thing. And I think, um,

109
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,600
Speaker 1: you know, haven't made that mistake since I did twice.

110
00:06:16,640 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: But uh yeah yeah but uh spring but uh but yeah,

111
00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 1: I mean I think things like that, And you think

112
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: a big part just just just learning, uh learning defense

113
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 1: learning how that uh you know corresponds with with our

114
00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 1: reads and where the ball needs you go. Do you

115
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: feel that anything? Um, I mean I think, uh, like

116
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 1: I said, at this point, I'm I feel like I

117
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 1: have improved. I feel like I've um, you know, made

118
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: steps in the right direction. Um you know, I think,

119
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: um like I said, there's a lot to a lot

120
00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: to work on. But um, my job is to is

121
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:04,159
Speaker 1: to be prepared and uh you know I I trust

122
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 1: the trust the plan. H
