Speaker 1: And then trying to keep them. Yeah, I think controling
Speaker 1: the ball, staying on the field, not just this game,
Speaker 1: but that's kind of just our offense, you know. I
Speaker 1: think that's huge every game. UM, Converting third down, standing
Speaker 1: on the field, I mean, our offense, that's kind of
Speaker 1: what we're made up on, UM, what we pride ourselves on.
Speaker 1: So it'll be huge again Monday night. How close do
Speaker 1: you feel like you are to kind of recapturing where
Speaker 1: you were as an offense the first month of the season.
Speaker 1: I think we're close, you know. I think we all
Speaker 1: come back. We watched the tape, you know, and you
Speaker 1: just see little things, you know, you see, but the
Speaker 1: little things add up. But we we know we're right there.
Speaker 1: You know. Obviously we got a lot of young guys
Speaker 1: myself included, that are getting all these all this experience,
Speaker 1: all these learning opportunities, and we see them all you know,
Speaker 1: we see everyonere just like, oh, we're right there, you know.
Speaker 1: So UM, we know we can do it. We just
Speaker 1: got to fine tune our details and we'll be all right.
Speaker 1: So much. Yeah, you know, I think the biggest thing,
Speaker 1: I mean, those those teams are making plays. UM had
Speaker 1: some good schemes going. Um, I think Green Bay's got
Speaker 1: a number of injuries, you know, and um so I
Speaker 1: think it'll be interesting to see who's who's where, who's
Speaker 1: lined up where. They like to mix it up, do
Speaker 1: a lot of you know, different pressures from different things.
Speaker 1: Um So it'll be interesting to see what type of
Speaker 1: really what guys will be out there on Monday night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I followed Aaron. I mean, being being from North Dakota,
Speaker 1: the Packers are on quite a bit. Um seeing what
Speaker 1: what Aaron has done since he's came into the league,
Speaker 1: and it's impressive. You know, he's a he's always one
Speaker 1: of the top guys in the league, and he's impressive.
Speaker 1: Some of the things he does. Um, some of the
Speaker 1: things you see on tape that he can do are
Speaker 1: really impressive. So I'm excited to go up against him
Speaker 1: a few years if we're going to get a chance
Speaker 1: to start. Once you got it, well, you know, I
Speaker 1: never thinking about it, you know. I think the biggest
Speaker 1: thing is every it's all case by case. You know,
Speaker 1: every guy's different, Every situation is different. Some guys are ready,
Speaker 1: some guys are and I'm not saying he wasn't, but
Speaker 1: I think it's just really case by case. UM, so
Speaker 1: I didn't put a lot of stock into that, and
Speaker 1: what is going on with Nelson and his comments post
Speaker 1: game and just one of what what kind of approach
Speaker 1: you take? And you know, yeah, obviously I know Nelson
Speaker 1: really well, you know, obviously better than the better than
Speaker 1: most you guys here. And I mean I just keep
Speaker 1: telling him I got a lot of confidence in him still,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, Um, mistakes happen, and he's the guy,
Speaker 1: he's the last guy that's gonna that's trying to make mistakes.
Speaker 1: You know, he wants to be perfect, he wants to
Speaker 1: be great. Um, And so I just keep telling him.
Speaker 1: I'm just positive with him. You know, there's no reason
Speaker 1: to hang your hat, um, no reason to get discouraged.
Speaker 1: You just got to keep battling. And I think it'll
Speaker 1: be all right. I guess. Is it kind of tough
Speaker 1: for you kind of preparing this week not knowing like
Speaker 1: real wide receivers are gonna be Nelson's gonna play or not.
Speaker 1: And also at running back if you're gonna have Ryan
Speaker 1: or Darren. Yeah, I think some of those injuries and
Speaker 1: some of those things, that's just kind of every week
Speaker 1: you know, there's different situations that arise and um, but
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, no coaches will get
Speaker 1: it ironed out. And I know we'll be putting really
Speaker 1: good situations and um, no matter who's out there, we'll
Speaker 1: be ready to go. You really don't worry about it
Speaker 1: too much. What your son with Paul Turner. He's been
Speaker 1: a scout team for most of the seasons and you
Speaker 1: have the past for a while, right, Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: it's been a while. I mean other than routes on Aaron,
Speaker 1: some different things. Um, but you go back to the spring,
Speaker 1: you go back to the fall. Obviously him and I
Speaker 1: where we're on, you know, just the third team together
Speaker 1: for a while there and got some really good opportunities there.
Speaker 1: So um, I think we'll tap back into that and
Speaker 1: we'll I think we'll have a good connection. You know,
Speaker 1: how happened and you told him what you said, you
Speaker 1: just told us. How did he react to me? Was
Speaker 1: he upbeat? Was he down? Yeah? Nelson's a positive guy,
Speaker 1: you know, he's uh, like I said, he wants to
Speaker 1: be great. Um. He gets frustrated, just like we all
Speaker 1: do when mistakes happen. But um, again I tell him,
Speaker 1: I believe in him, and I got a lot of
Speaker 1: confidence in him. In him and he's the same way.
Speaker 1: You know, he knows he's gonna come in here, um
Speaker 1: and be the same guy. He's gonna put his best
Speaker 1: foot forward every Day's gonna stay after and work his
Speaker 1: tail off. Um. And that's something that I think we
Speaker 1: all appreciate about him. When you look at filming yourself,
Speaker 1: is there one thing that jumps out to you each
Speaker 1: week that that you feel like you need to work
Speaker 1: on the most? Um hard to say just one thing.
Speaker 1: There's just you know, the things I was talking about earlier,
Speaker 1: all the little things, um that's myself included. You know,
Speaker 1: there's certain plays and certain things here and there, whether
Speaker 1: it be protections, whether it be you know reads, whether
Speaker 1: it be locking onto guys every now and then. Um,
Speaker 1: there's just little things that I just got to keep
Speaker 1: going and keep returning this offense you're going through, you know,
Speaker 1: your rookie season. But when things come up on the outside,
Speaker 1: like with Nelson, I mean, you know, does it is
Speaker 1: it difficult to kind of handle that as you know,
Speaker 1: as in a leadership position, will also being just the
Speaker 1: first year guy kind of feeling your own way through. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is for a lot of us,
Speaker 1: we don't worry about it, you know. I think we
Speaker 1: we just come to work, you know, and coaches again
Speaker 1: are gonna put us in the right situation and the
Speaker 1: best situations. Um. And we don't have time to really
Speaker 1: worry about, you know, off the field things, different things,
Speaker 1: whatever may be, um, because we're just trying to get
Speaker 1: better and trying to get ready for the next game.
Speaker 1: So I know, for myself, you know, it's something I
Speaker 1: don't I don't think about. I don't worry about too much. Um.
Speaker 1: And I'm just trying to stay positive with everybody. Remember
Speaker 1: there's not much character teams. Yeah, I think you know,
Speaker 1: it goes back to what I said earlier, just we
Speaker 1: just got to keep we gotta get the little things right,
Speaker 1: you know, the details. Um. And we're so close. I
Speaker 1: keep saying that, and I know it probably sounds like
Speaker 1: a broken record, but we we all know, we all
Speaker 1: see it. We all we all put on the game tape. UM.
Speaker 1: So I think for me, it's just executing, you know,
Speaker 1: it's it's being smart with the football. UM. No one
Speaker 1: when to take my chances as something, you know, I'm
Speaker 1: continuing to trying to learn and trying to you know,
Speaker 1: fight that walk that fine line every week. Um, no
Speaker 1: one when to when to take chances, when to protect
Speaker 1: the ball, and um, I think it's just something that
Speaker 1: we're all learning together. Um. But you know we're we're
Speaker 1: right there. At the same time, do you guys talk about, Hey,
Speaker 1: you know, we're running out of time. We really got
Speaker 1: to string some wins together if we want to get
Speaker 1: in the postseason or is it something you guys talk about.
Speaker 1: I mean we don't really press so to speak. I
Speaker 1: mean we're all smart guys. You know, we realize what's
Speaker 1: at stake. We realize when we're out in the season. Um,
Speaker 1: you know we got six games left and you know
Speaker 1: we're gonna put our best foot forward. But at the
Speaker 1: same time, we don't change our preparation. We don't we
Speaker 1: don't change how we approach things. Because one thing I
Speaker 1: always say about this team is the efforts always there.
Speaker 1: You know, with the effort and practice, effort and games,
Speaker 1: it's always there. Um. So we just got to just
Speaker 1: be be sharp with with our details. Like I keep saying,
Speaker 1: what's your personality? Which are are you trying to keep
Speaker 1: everything the same kind of Um. You know, for me personally,
Speaker 1: I trying to be the same guy, and I try
Speaker 1: to be the same guy when things are good, things
Speaker 1: are bad, everywhere in between, you know, even on game days.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna get excited when we score touchdowns
Speaker 1: and this and that, but at the same time, when
Speaker 1: mistakes happen, when we're highs and lows, I'm I'm trying
Speaker 1: to be the same guy. You know. I think the guys, um,
Speaker 1: they want to see that out of out of one
Speaker 1: of their leaders, out of this position, especially everyone's looking
Speaker 1: at me in the huddle type of thing. So I mean,
Speaker 1: we've got to stay consistent with who we are personality wise. UM.
Speaker 1: And I think it carries over through practice, through meetings,
Speaker 1: through through the game and UM, yeah, I think that's huge.
Speaker 1: A better quarterback now, Carson than you were after the
Speaker 1: first three games when you're riding an eye three you know.
Speaker 1: Uh and if if so, the stats don't suggest that,
Speaker 1: what what are you looking at that that says that
Speaker 1: the answers guys, Um, I think you know, I think
Speaker 1: just for me, the experience has been huge. You know,
Speaker 1: obviously it's every week, UM, there's something new that happens.
Speaker 1: You know, there's a new situation, there's a new um.
Speaker 1: Just there's a new uh outside things that are happening.
Speaker 1: You know. I think just every week is something new
Speaker 1: to learn. UM. Hard to say if I'm better or worse,
Speaker 1: But I just know I'm learning a lot. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm getting valuable experience. UM, and I'm playing confident. You
Speaker 1: know their mistakes are gonna happen. That's that's football. UM.
Speaker 1: But you know I'm playing faster and faster every week.
Speaker 1: And I'm feeling good with with the playbook, feeling good
Speaker 1: with um what I'm seeing from the other teams. So UM,
Speaker 1: I think it's just as a unit, I think we
Speaker 1: all just gotta keep learning and keep elevating our game
Speaker 1: every week. Talked about Is that something that kind of
Speaker 1: put it to you? Do you always have that? How'd
Speaker 1: you get that? Yeah? I've really just always been like that.
Speaker 1: I think as as a quarterback, when guys are looking
Speaker 1: at you, you got to always always be the same.
Speaker 1: You know, when things are good, bad and different, it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. Um, guys want to see that consistent guy
Speaker 1: in the huddle. What's Yeah, there's a couple you know
Speaker 1: where you're late and you're trying to make a play,
Speaker 1: trying to do too much, and I think, um, those
Speaker 1: are things that I gotta keep being smart with, you know,
Speaker 1: especially knowing the personnel, you know, knowing that Seahawks secondary.
Speaker 1: You know they they've closed pretty pretty good. Um. I
Speaker 1: just gotta be smart, you know, I gotta keep learning
Speaker 1: that and um but you know, at the same time,
Speaker 1: I'm playing confident and uh, I think we'll be all right.
Speaker 1: Happy Thanksgiving everyone,
