Speaker 1: Your hat. It's not. Yeah, it should be.
Speaker 2: Well, when you look at the Jaguars on defense, uh,
Speaker 2: they take the ball away pretty well.
Speaker 1: What stands out to you when you watch them on film?
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're sound, you know, they they just do a
Speaker 3: good job obviously of creating turnovers. They do a good
Speaker 3: job within their past rush and then you know, sort
Speaker 3: of forcing the quarterbacks to you know, put the ball
Speaker 3: up in the air. It seems like there's like space
Speaker 3: and stuff on film, but they're good at you know,
Speaker 3: making you think that, and then in reality it's it's
Speaker 3: you know, tight window throws and tit balls and then
Speaker 3: that's where you see the interceptions and stuff from the year.
Speaker 1: So they're really good at it. So that's what I
Speaker 1: see so far.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, I mean oftentimes you don't hesitate, you
Speaker 3: and just pay and just throw it to the spot.
Speaker 1: I don't think you know, the recent interceptions have been
Speaker 1: resulted those type of plays.
Speaker 3: But I mean, do you does it make you in
Speaker 3: any way mentally you know a little more hesitant or anything,
Speaker 3: or do you have to guard against you know, interceptions.
Speaker 2: Making you or hesitant and not just ripping.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, there's like a there's a fine line of
Speaker 3: being aggressive anticipating a throw, anticipating a window and then
Speaker 3: you know, being able to hold it back and being
Speaker 3: smart with the ball. So that stuff that I've had
Speaker 3: to be realed myself with the last couple of weeks
Speaker 3: just watching the games and stuff. I'm an aggressive kind
Speaker 3: of quarterback in terms of like anticipation and where my
Speaker 3: guys are supposed to be. You know, I trust them
Speaker 3: and I let it rip, but you know there's times
Speaker 3: where I gotta be smart with it and be willing
Speaker 3: to take the checkdown and and depending on the point
Speaker 3: in the game and where we're at the scenario of
Speaker 3: the situation, all that comes into into play.
Speaker 1: So I do I have to be better at that
Speaker 1: for sure.
Speaker 2: So yeah, which is the time of the game where
Speaker 2: I did do you do you feel like looking back
Speaker 2: at some of those windows have happened pressing a little
Speaker 2: bit or is it just kind of happenstance?
Speaker 1: And that's when those interceptions are.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I think it's it sort of just happened, you know.
Speaker 3: I'd say the Minnesota the last one that was you know,
Speaker 3: sort of pressing like we needed it, We needed a
Speaker 3: big play, So that was that but outside of that,
Speaker 3: you know, I was just being aggressive regardless. You know,
Speaker 3: like this last game with the second interception, especially to
Speaker 3: b A, you know, just being aggressive and I thinking
Speaker 3: that backer is going to be in that window, and
Speaker 3: sure enough he was. So it's like being smart in
Speaker 3: those situations.
Speaker 1: But do we get to a.
Speaker 3: Point a point in the game and I start thinking
Speaker 3: or pressing, No, just be smart. You know, fourth quarter
Speaker 3: comes around. You gotta be smart with the ball regardless,
Speaker 3: no matter what what the situation is in that point
Speaker 3: in the game.
Speaker 1: But yeah, coming to deal, is it for you to
Speaker 1: get Depot and potentially back this week. Yeah, it's huge.
Speaker 3: Obviously, you get the ball in the into Deebo's hands
Speaker 3: and he can do some crazy stuff and help our
Speaker 3: team out big time. So have Debo back will be huge.
Speaker 3: Trent as well, Like, that's gonna be awesome to have
Speaker 3: him and his experience as leadership and sort of just
Speaker 3: you know, help out with everything run game, pass game,
Speaker 3: like that's Trent's the best of the best. So have
Speaker 3: two of those guys back and uh, you know, give
Speaker 3: a spark and bring that energy to our offense.
Speaker 1: It's huge. So Books talked about the increased energy this week.
Speaker 1: Did you feel that in practice?
Speaker 3: I know it was a light practice the last couple days,
Speaker 3: but yeah, the first you know, bonus practice that we
Speaker 3: had that was huge. Just you can just feel everyone,
Speaker 3: you know, excited to get back getting to the swing
Speaker 3: of things and get back into the groove. And then
Speaker 3: yesterday I feel like we had a really good practice,
Speaker 3: just guys flying around and and uh, like I said, hungry,
Speaker 3: hungry to get on and move on from the last
Speaker 3: two weeks and and ready to play a game again.
Speaker 1: So we're all excited for it.
Speaker 3: What is what's going on in the last few Yeah,
Speaker 3: it's huge. We just need to win, you know, we
Speaker 3: need to win, have that feeling again of of winning
Speaker 3: and then get on a streak and roll. The second
Speaker 3: half of the season is huge. First half was the
Speaker 3: first half. I feel like we all got rested up
Speaker 3: over the bye weekend and this is going to be
Speaker 3: a stretch that we all know is going to take
Speaker 3: what it takes.
Speaker 1: So this game is I.
Speaker 3: Think huge for us in terms of getting started for
Speaker 3: the second half season. All week yeah, yeah, probably since
Speaker 3: your rehab, I'm guessing, Yeah, did you come to your arm,
Speaker 3: how does it responded.
Speaker 1: And Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 3: I feel like the just not throwing and then lifting,
Speaker 3: you know, just starting you know, continuing to strengthen my arm,
Speaker 3: you know, off the field, it was huge. And then
Speaker 3: I practice it's felt really good. So you know, with
Speaker 3: the however many games we played in the beginning of
Speaker 3: the first half of the season, like you know, your arm,
Speaker 3: you start feeling a little stre at practice and whatnot,
Speaker 3: but come game time you're ready to roll. So I'm
Speaker 3: having a week off for the second stretch was huge
Speaker 3: for me with my arm.
Speaker 1: So yeah, physical, how about.
Speaker 2: The mental aspect? How much did you need to like
Speaker 2: unflug versus also go back and watch stament self scout.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's huge, you know, looking at looking at the good,
Speaker 3: looking at the bad of the first half, you know
Speaker 3: how hot we started, and then obviously the last three
Speaker 3: games of like all right, what's going on?
Speaker 1: What's you know, what can we be better at?
Speaker 3: For myself especially and it was huge, but to be
Speaker 3: able to like step away from the game, take a breather,
Speaker 3: understand where we're at, what we have to do is
Speaker 3: huge for me to clear my mind and and then
Speaker 3: come back like excited, you know, for the second second
Speaker 3: half and uh, the stretch of football that we have
Speaker 3: to play, get some good football that we have to play.
Speaker 1: So feel good.
Speaker 2: Talked about each week being a one game season and
Speaker 2: is that the mentality now and like this week and
Speaker 2: then you really don't even think about next week.
Speaker 3: Till next week and yeah, yeah, one hundred percent. It's
Speaker 3: that's how it is. And honestly, like I feel like
Speaker 3: that was the case last last year. You know, when
Speaker 3: we came off the bye, we were hungry and almost
Speaker 3: like we were playing desperate every single week to win
Speaker 3: every single game every Sunday, and we just looked at
Speaker 3: it one game at a time. We're gonna fight and
Speaker 3: claw and scratch one game at a time. And it
Speaker 3: all fell in the place that I needed to. So
Speaker 3: that's our mindset, Yeah, I think so, you know, whenever
Speaker 3: we feel like our backs against the wall I field,
Speaker 3: we played some really good football. You know, we're a
Speaker 3: talented team, and once we like you know, are hungry
Speaker 3: and set our goals for something, we want it and
Speaker 3: we need it, like, yeah, I think we.
Speaker 1: Could do a lot. So that's where wrap.
Speaker 3: Yeah, just you know, owning up to you know, turn
Speaker 3: the ball over, you know, how how hard you know,
Speaker 3: everyone you know puts their time and effort into this
Speaker 3: whole thing, the organization, the coaches, the players.
Speaker 1: Everyone plays hard. You know.
Speaker 3: That's there's no question, no doubt about that. So I
Speaker 3: just wanted the team to know and here from my mouth,
Speaker 3: face to face, like I gotta be better. You know,
Speaker 3: I own up to the mistakes that I made, and uh,
Speaker 3: certain points in the game.
Speaker 1: I have to be smart with the ball.
Speaker 3: You know, the quarterback is one of the most trusted
Speaker 3: guys in the organization because we get the ball in
Speaker 3: our hands every play to make a decision.
Speaker 1: So just owning up to that and understand that have
Speaker 1: to be better.
Speaker 3: So just telling the guys that it just came from
Speaker 3: the heart and that was it, and how.
Speaker 1: Do you how do you hit a reset? You did
Speaker 1: help your hit the reset for the rest.
Speaker 2: Of the year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I went to Iowa.
Speaker 3: I was with my my fiance and her family on
Speaker 3: the farm. You know, sort of just got away from everything,
Speaker 3: and then you just went back to Iowa State for
Speaker 3: a game. So everybody just sort of have a perspective
Speaker 3: of all right, you know, this is life, this is
Speaker 3: what's going on. Uh, yeah, I'm playing in the NFL
Speaker 3: for the forty nine ers. But you know, I still
Speaker 3: have a good life with you know, my fiance and
Speaker 3: everything to come. So it was good just to be
Speaker 3: able to breathe and you know, give my mind and
Speaker 3: my thoughts everything together and regroup for what's to come
Speaker 3: for the second half of the season.
Speaker 1: So it was good for me.
Speaker 2: After the game.
Speaker 3: Now I've talked a couple of times after, but that
Speaker 3: one was more, you know, just like owning up just
Speaker 3: some of the decisions that I've made and stuff with
Speaker 3: the ball, So a little bit different vibe.
Speaker 2: Young kind of also keep you guys a shot of
Speaker 2: adrenaline of you noticed that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously just his presence, you know, being around, and
Speaker 3: then when you get on the field, it's like, dang,
Speaker 3: you know, we got another guy on the edge who
Speaker 3: can do some damage. And so for all of us,
Speaker 3: it's like, you know, we have the talent, we have
Speaker 3: the guys, and it's almost like, yeah, we sort of
Speaker 3: want to, you know, show chase like the ropes, like
Speaker 3: this is who we are, this is what we believe
Speaker 3: in and how we do things, and he fits right in.
Speaker 1: So we're excited to have him.
Speaker 2: When you reach out like three games and stretch. Who
Speaker 2: do you reach out to for advice and guys like
Speaker 2: Joe and still reach out to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, for this, it's really just been the guys in
Speaker 3: this building, you know, for the most part, I'd say,
Speaker 3: you know, it's tough when you're on the outside, like
Speaker 3: looking in, you know, just because like we all can
Speaker 3: relate within the building. You know, we know what's going on,
Speaker 3: we know the truth to things, and so the guys
Speaker 3: in this building have been the ones, you know, being
Speaker 3: able to reach out to me and you know, tell
Speaker 3: me what's going on and they're belief in me and
Speaker 3: stuff like that. So that's where I'm at with that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, thanks guys.
Speaker 2: Thank
