1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,920 Speaker 1: Feel just to be back out there, felt good. 2 00:00:04,040 --> 00:00:07,760 Speaker 2: Felt good to be back out there playing eleven on eleven. 3 00:00:08,960 --> 00:00:10,560 Speaker 2: You know, I thought for the most part it went well. 4 00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:13,080 Speaker 2: A couple of plays here and there, but for the 5 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 2: most part, we you know, kept the ball moving forward 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,520 Speaker 2: and say that out of negative plays. So first day, 7 00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:22,239 Speaker 2: you know, we're all kind of getting our feet underneath 8 00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 2: each underneath us. 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 1: So, uh build on it and go from there. 10 00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 3: Any uncertainty when you had to move around a little bit, 11 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: get out of pocket, any uncertainty doing that or. 12 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:32,680 Speaker 1: All, Uh no, I felt good doing that. 13 00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 2: That's all stuff I've at this point, you know, practice 14 00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,159 Speaker 2: a lot, wrapped a lot in drills, and it's been 15 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 2: a big part of my rehab. So felt good doing 16 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 2: all that stuff. 17 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: As you mentioned, you. 18 00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:45,600 Speaker 4: Know, no negative plays. How much of that as a 19 00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,640 Speaker 4: priority because obviously there's a balance right between trying to 20 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,839 Speaker 4: get the ball downfield and trying to make sure you 21 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 4: get the ball out you don't have those negative plays. 22 00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's always a balance. Obviously we want 23 00:00:57,480 --> 00:00:59,320 Speaker 2: to get the ball downfield and make big plays, but 24 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 2: you know, another big focus of ours is getting the 25 00:01:02,720 --> 00:01:06,160 Speaker 2: ball out quick and getting the ball in space, avoiding sacks, 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,000 Speaker 2: avoiding going backwards and staying in you know, good down 27 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 2: in distant situations that help us execute. 28 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,000 Speaker 1: I think that's something we've we've. 29 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:17,039 Speaker 2: Stressed and you know, playing quarterback, it's it's about you know, 30 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:19,319 Speaker 2: making a good decision to getting the ball out quickly. 31 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: And when you think. 32 00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 5: Back to the injury, the surgery and where you are now, 33 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,199 Speaker 5: I mean, this is about as quick as it can happen. Really, 34 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 5: I mean, so what did this mean to you to 35 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 5: be on the field, getting all the first team reps? 36 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,040 Speaker 5: You know, I mean it doesn't always happen as well. 37 00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I expected to be here. I expected 38 00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: to for the process to go smoothly and well, and 39 00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 2: expected that because we got good doctors, trainers' strength coaches, 40 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,200 Speaker 2: and had a clear plan from the get go. So 41 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,200 Speaker 2: it's definitely good to be here. I'm grateful to be 42 00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:54,760 Speaker 2: out there and grateful to all the people who've helped me, 43 00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:57,559 Speaker 2: you know, get to this point. 44 00:01:57,600 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: But still a. 45 00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,760 Speaker 2: Lot of work to do across the board, and I'll 46 00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 2: continue to rehab, focus on my on my knee, but 47 00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:07,600 Speaker 2: also uh, you know, from a football standpoint, getting back 48 00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:11,880 Speaker 2: into eleven on eleven and playing football. But yeah, grateful 49 00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,040 Speaker 2: to be here, but kind of was the plan all along, 50 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:15,959 Speaker 2: and I certainly expected to be here. 51 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 4: You can replicate dex Lar, you know, push them off 52 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,200 Speaker 4: the line back in your lap. 53 00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 1: So when that happens, like, how did your new field 54 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:22,800 Speaker 1: you think about it all? Did you just react naturally? 55 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: H Yeah, I didn't think about it, just naturally. But yeah, 56 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: some of those things are hard to mimic in a 57 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 2: practice situation. So being out in eleven eleven is important 58 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:36,480 Speaker 2: to get those reps and you know, the speedy games 59 00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: a little bit faster getting back you know, used to 60 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,240 Speaker 2: some of that stuff and and reacting and you know, 61 00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 2: seeing a defense moving, you know, seeing defenders through zones 62 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:47,440 Speaker 2: and seeing. 63 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,520 Speaker 1: Your guys, so all that stuff. 64 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 2: You know, it's different hard to mimic in a in 65 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: a rehab or a you know, a practice setting in 66 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 2: the offseason.

For you as a quarterback, how big 163 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 3: of a deal is it to get your front five 164 00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 3: set early to make sure that you're adequately protected when 165 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 3: you're throwing the ball? 166 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:42,640 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that's important. 167 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 2: I think you know, the chemistry of those guys together 168 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 2: and playing together and getting on the same page, communicating me, 169 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 2: communicating with them, then communicating with me. 170 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: I think that's that's Uh, that's important. 171 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 2: You know, injuries are part of the game, and and 172 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: uh you understand that, but obviously want to stay as 173 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:03,680 Speaker 2: healthy as possible, and the health of that group, you know, 174 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 2: can help everybody.

But I 175 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 2: know those guys are working hard to get back. 176 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 4: What is the same Carmen as a new coach there, 177 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 4: I guess from your perspective, your younger. 178 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's done a done a good job. It's been fun, 179 00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,840 Speaker 2: uh working with him. I think you know, he obviously 180 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 2: has deep roots and this you know day ball system 181 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 2: and where he comes from. So I think that's been 182 00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 2: that's been good and kind of starting starting at square 183 00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 2: one and building it back up through the spring. But 184 00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,120 Speaker 2: he's a he's a good communicator, a good teacher, and 185 00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 2: I've enjoyed working with him. 186 00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,160 Speaker 7: What do you look what do you look at when 187 00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,040 Speaker 7: you look at last season and and you know your 188 00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 7: offense and specifically more how you played, and then how 189 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:48,360 Speaker 7: do you what do you what do you look forward 190 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:54,319 Speaker 7: to changing this season in that regard. 191 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:58,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean overall not consistent enough. I think you know, 192 00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 1: obviously the the injuries. 193 00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 2: Affected that, and you'd love to have more opportunities and 194 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:05,559 Speaker 2: more time on the field. 195 00:09:05,679 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean it wasn't consistent enough. 196 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 2: I think, uh, continuing to focus on getting the ball 197 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,960 Speaker 2: out of my hands quicker and getting the ball and 198 00:09:13,960 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 2: our and our playmaker's hands and letting them, letting them 199 00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 2: go to work. So you know, I think we'll all, 200 00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:22,720 Speaker 2: uh we'll all be better together, and I'm excited about 201 00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 2: where we're going.
