Try to just get the bottom 7 00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,759 Speaker 2: of my hands, take my leg, use my legs, run, 8 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,200 Speaker 2: just make decisions a little bit quicker, and offense line 9 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 2: did a great job. 10 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 1: I mean, it sounds obvious, but it's obviously not. You know, 11 00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:24,840 Speaker 1: get the ball out of my hands or just run, 12 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:26,800 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, well, what goes into all this too? 13 00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:29,280 Speaker 1: You know, you don't want to give up on a play. 14 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:30,440 Speaker 1: You also don't want to get sacked. 15 00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:31,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's always a give and take. 16 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 2: You know, you realistically you want to have zero sacks, 17 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,480 Speaker 2: but you know, realistically in the game, it's not always 18 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,599 Speaker 2: going to happen each each week, week in and week out. 19 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:42,159 Speaker 2: But it's just up to me just to make good 20 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 2: decisions and try to help out the offense to not 21 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:45,879 Speaker 2: have any negatives. 22 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: How much is a healthy offense when it's not second 23 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,720 Speaker 1: in fifteen?

I mean, you 29 00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,560 Speaker 2: just avoiding the negative plays as a quarterback or just 30 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:07,040 Speaker 2: helped keep the offense and the team on track. 31 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:10,520 Speaker 4: How much are you enjoying the local attention and the 32 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 4: national attention that you're your story is bringing. 33 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,319 Speaker 3: It's good. 34 00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I appreciate the sport from everybody.

And what do you think of the chances 176 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 4: now that you're kind of back in it as a team. 177 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,200 Speaker 2: I'm not thinking about anything but this week with the Saints, that's. 178 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,280 Speaker 7: What do you see it from the Saints when you 179 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 7: look at this team this matchup. 180 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, they're a good team obviously. I have a lot 181 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,840 Speaker 2: of guys on that defense, someone kind of looked up 182 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: to in the past, the Honey Badger. He's on that defense. 183 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 2: My first time playing against him. It's kind of kind 184 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:30,520 Speaker 2: of a cool deal when I went through, you know, 185 00:07:30,680 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: scouting report and saw his name on there. Someone I've 186 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 2: always watched when I was younger. So that will just 187 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 2: be a little cool person to play against out there. 188 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 8: Are you expecting you showed to run more heavy game? 189 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,000 Speaker 8: Kind of the impact of the defense taking advantage of 190 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 8: that this weekend. 191 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:49,760 Speaker 3: Perhaps, I don't know. 192 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,080 Speaker 2: We'll see, We'll see, We'll see how they play. I 193 00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 2: think last week that wasn't really the whole game plan 194 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 2: kind of just abolved into that depends on the defense place. 195 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 7: I know you're on the other side, but how big 196 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:03,480 Speaker 7: is it defense? Your defense is creating turnovers at the pace. 197 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 2: That they are huge. It give us the offense tremendous advantage. 198 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 2: The team a whole advantage offensively when you capitalize more 199 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: off of them. Get some more points out of it. 200 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,080 Speaker 2: But they've did a tremendous job, whether that's if they 201 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:19,000 Speaker 2: get if their offense field position, holding them the three 202 00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: or nothing, and then just giving us a field position, 203 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 2: whatever it is. It's just it's all very beneficial part team. 204 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 8: You ever before games like you're away to calm yourself necessary? 205 00:08:32,640 --> 00:08:37,520 Speaker 2: No, yeah, just the football game and playing Stulls five 206 00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 2: kind of just treat everything like practice. 207 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 4: One of the most common questions you're getting in New 208 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:45,719 Speaker 4: Jersey is did records. 209 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 3: Recruit a little bit? Yeah? 210 00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 2: Not heavy, though you surprised at the time. At the time, 211 00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:57,079 Speaker 2: I don't, I don't know. I'm not going to comment 212 00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 2: on it, but no, I was not heavy the recruit 213 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 2: my records. 214 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,680 Speaker 4: How much have you seen? How much have you seen 215 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:05,760 Speaker 4: the offensive line improve? Like last week and maybe the 216 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 4: week before they got the game ball obviously, but you know, 217 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 4: what did you see from them as far as improvement? 218 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 2: They've improved a ton weekend and week out for the 219 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,040 Speaker 2: past couple of weeks. They've been meeting so much and 220 00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: all the walk through and everything. They've taken such attention 221 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: to detail with everything, and you know, I just I 222 00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,000 Speaker 2: appreciate everything they're doing right. 223 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,719 Speaker 3: I mean, I tried to. 224 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,679 Speaker 2: Make last week, not this past week, the week before that, 225 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,360 Speaker 2: I mean, their jobs a little harder with some of 226 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:30,840 Speaker 2: the sacks. 227 00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: Could have helped out with some of them. 228 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,160 Speaker 2: So this week really honed in on it, and we 229 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 2: just tried to get that number down as low as possible. 230 00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,680 Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to try to do that moving 231 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:39,040 Speaker 2: forward
