1
00:00:00,520 --> 00:00:06,000
Speaker 1: Still just attached, wonderful. How you doing? It's good? Good

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: you see else kind of good part part of the

3
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: recent uh the full house, it's it's about the quarterback

4
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: change that what you made or just talk to us about.

5
00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: How is that needs received by the team by yourself

6
00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: this morning?

7
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:25,880
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we heard it this this morning and uh

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: coach said that Dregs was gonna be our quarterback.

9
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,639
Speaker 1: So we're behind Drake. What do you see from Drake?

10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: D give conference? And he will be a good leader

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:37,199
Speaker 1: in practice.

12
00:00:37,240 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: I've seen him, uh be resilient, come back from plays

13
00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 2: that he didn't like, and uh uh make good plays

14
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:46,199
Speaker 2: after that. I seen him run the offense pretty smoothly.

15
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:49,040
Speaker 2: So with those few things that I've seen, I'm confident

16
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,919
Speaker 2: to see what he has this Sunday. What were your

17
00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: your teach you once you've noticed the quarterbacks you're facing,

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: especially with the working.

19
00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 1: Messiscot team and things like that, what kind of things

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: you do work seeing you can pick up about pay blank.

21
00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: This kid nak uh I noticed everything. Uh, we practice

22
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 2: against somebody for a long time or just for a

23
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,640
Speaker 2: little bit. You pick up on sworn things if they

24
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 2: have it, they don't, they don't have it and uh,

25
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: when I go against h Drake during practice, he missed

26
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,480
Speaker 2: his throws. He uh knows how to read the defense.

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 2: Things like that.

28
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 1: So something from the little bit that I see every

29
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:26,200
Speaker 1: now and then looks good. Do you think your covie

30
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:31,680
Speaker 1: good fears? You listen to my offense? Youensive land He

31
00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 1: doesn't have an Actually the veteran snacks. Frank, you think

32
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:40,080
Speaker 1: Steve Last just is a veterans You particulate work.

33
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:44,920
Speaker 2: Yes, I think it was a tough decision that the

34
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: old distion made. M mm, don't really know anything outside

35
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 2: of that, honestly, Uh lot. I talked to talk to

36
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 2: him today. That's how he was doing. He's in he's

37
00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 2: in good spirits and he's a good leader. Uh. I

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 2: think he'll take this opportunity to mentor Drake on his

39
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,120
Speaker 2: path forward. You know, no problem said that he.

40
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: Made this decision because it gives the team the best

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: chance to win. Do you think that Drake may gives

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: your team the best chance to win?

43
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: Well, whatever our coach decides will always behind. So if

44
00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: coch coach said this is the best decision, then we're

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 2: behind that.

46
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:25,280
Speaker 1: There's been quite a.

47
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: Bit of fluctuations with your captains just a couple of

48
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:31,040
Speaker 2: weeks into the season as a captain.

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,040
Speaker 1: Now you have a starting quarterback who isn't a captain.

50
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 2: How much is it on Drake to, I.

51
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,480
Speaker 1: Guess, step into a leadership role in the flock room

52
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: with you as a captain and the other captains, what

53
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 1: can you do to help them along?

54
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 2: In that It's up to the captains and the leads

55
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 2: on his team to help this team win. As it's

56
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 2: not just going to be on Drake. Drake will take

57
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 2: the blame when he does bad and take the praise

58
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: when the team does well. That's that's what they do.

59
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040
Speaker 2: But it's just not on him. We have leaders on

60
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: this team. We have camps on this team who will

61
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: help him. So all the success that he has it

62
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,400
Speaker 2: will be because of the team, just as any failures

63
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:12,720
Speaker 2: that we have is all on the team.

64
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: So we take all the good and the bad together

65
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:17,519
Speaker 1: and we move forward with that.

66
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 2: Like to watch.

67
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: So we go through the first five games when he's

68
00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: stillingsily for you nice as a team. You know, my

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 1: hat is off to him.

70
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 2: Like I said in the past, he's very tough, very resilient,

71
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,079
Speaker 2: still led the team and things weren't going well, and

72
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: I think what he did is is very important to

73
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: our team's journey.

74
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: Things weren't going well.

75
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: He never powered and never complained, always came in with

76
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 2: us on his face, ready to go. Led this team

77
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 2: vocally and also on the field. So unfortunate, but at

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:54,400
Speaker 2: the same time we're behind both him and.

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,000
Speaker 1: Drake didrich streak. Obviously it's a rookie, he's not a captain,

80
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:02,120
Speaker 1: but he is now sorting at leadership position. Work for

81
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 1: you guys, what can he do to prove himself to

82
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 1: be a good leader before be himself?

83
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: Go out there and do what he has done in practice,

84
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 2: been training camp, in practice and do the same thing

85
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 2: in the game.

86
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 1: What have you seen from him in those settings that

87
00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: make him look at there? His ability to connect with passes,

88
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: run the offense, and uh make plays.

89
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: Defense As a leader on the defense, he has kind

90
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:31,480
Speaker 2: of lite.

91
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: He's for a big player for the players that are

92
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,359
Speaker 1: out how you seen some of the younger guys.

93
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: Are seeing younger guys who respond to most challenge they

94
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,000
Speaker 2: respond to will. So far, these young guys have stepped

95
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 2: up in these big leadership roles. Uh, they have done

96
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:48,280
Speaker 2: a great job. We've seen so far they're surrounded by

97
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 2: other leaders as well who are still playing Jay Jones myself,

98
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,760
Speaker 2: there's also leaders like to buy. He's doing a great

99
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 2: job of leading his charge as well, and it help

100
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,920
Speaker 2: the young guys feel comfortable in their roles. They're they're

101
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: they're they're young, not in the sense of years played,

102
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,240
Speaker 2: but younger sense of like new to the team, new,

103
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 2: new to the defense. So just not knowing what this

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 2: team would expect. They're doing a great job in their

105
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: new roles.

106
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: I'll put that way. Safety obviously throwing off this last.

107
00:05:20,120 --> 00:05:24,120
Speaker 2: Game and it sis Jalen dal and Martin Martin in

108
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 2: the back offense.

109
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: How do you think those guys did just give him

110
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:32,040
Speaker 1: what they were coming from into really good Marte is

111
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,039
Speaker 1: he studies like a coach in a sense. Uh.

112
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: He has the ability to be out for four weeks

113
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 2: but yet know every single thing that it is to

114
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 2: know about his position and also the defense. So when

115
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 2: he came back, he was just telling me about it,

116
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:51,840
Speaker 2: Hey be here, be here, as if he had been

117
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800
Speaker 2: playing for the last nine weeks. So he's done a

118
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: great job with his preparation, he said, Dale, who else Della?

119
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: Oh uh hah yeah.

120
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:01,839
Speaker 2: Uh.

121
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:05,320
Speaker 1: The calder Kid. He's doing fantastic.

122
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 2: Uh. Both of them are are in roles that they

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 2: are used to playing, just not on the team. And

124
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: Dale has great mentorship with the safeties in front of him,

125
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,159
Speaker 2: so he's been always learning behind those two guys.

126
00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 1: And then Sam a hawk, hawk's.

127
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: Been balling since he's been with Atlanta and uh LA,

128
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: so he came here with that same swagger.

129
00:06:25,360 --> 00:06:31,280
Speaker 1: And we love it. Yes, yes, thank you appreciate that.

130
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: Appreciate that? Did you? Would you say the energy is

131
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,280
Speaker 1: like in the locker room, cause obviously quarterback change is

132
00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: a big move. Is there some more energy and you

133
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: still kind of processing more?

134
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 2: Uh? The energy is to go out there and uh win.

135
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,039
Speaker 2: That's where the energy all motivated to get that. There's

136
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: a lot of things that the defense we take personal

137
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,719
Speaker 2: in our own uh journey to Sunday.

138
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 1: Uh.

139
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 2: We like to correct a lot a lot of things fixed,

140
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,640
Speaker 2: things that we wanna fix, and then uh, I think

141
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 2: if the defense plays how we want to play, we'll

142
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 2: get some more wins.

143
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: Personally processed grow Pepper's situation.

144
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: You know, that's a tough situation. Don't really know really

145
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 2: what's really going going on. So that's all I have

146
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 2: to say about that, he's.

147
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Not gonna be mentioned team recording to the recording, their

148
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: coach mail said something is not gonna be with the

149
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: team for the coach to year with us. They said

150
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: something you agree with. That's news to me. I just

151
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:27,280
Speaker 1: heard that.

152
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: So whatever coach says once again, like I said with

153
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: the direct thing, whatever he says, we're gonna be behind

154
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,440
Speaker 2: and soon happened to move forward to play again.

155
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 1: Spell From a detensive life standpoint, CJ is a good quarterback.

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: I think he's a doing a great job moving the

157
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: ball for this team the last two years. It's gonna

158
00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: be very similar to how we played most quarterbacks, keeping

159
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 2: him in the pocket and.
