1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,560 Speaker 1: Sliding practice for Jackson. 2 00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, got the win knocked out of him. He's good. Yeah, 3 00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,680 Speaker 2: I would let him slide on that. 4 00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:12,680 Speaker 1: Seven points and three preseason games. I'm seven points and 5 00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: three preseason games. How pleased are you with just that scoring? 6 00:00:16,040 --> 00:00:16,800 Speaker 2: Uh? 7 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,800 Speaker 3: Well, I think just that the effort of the guys 8 00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:24,400 Speaker 3: is what we really focused on. The discipline, their team first, attitude, 9 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 3: their work ethic, you know, big things. Accountability to one another, 10 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:34,800 Speaker 3: to the coaches, to the players. Again, it's a process 11 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,360 Speaker 3: of training camp to the preseason games and being able 12 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:41,839 Speaker 3: to execute, you know, regardless of who's in there. You know, 13 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,840 Speaker 3: there's a standard that you know, I'm gonna help hold 14 00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:48,279 Speaker 3: everybody too. And you know, we got seventeen days here 15 00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:49,559 Speaker 3: before the first one, so we've got a lot of 16 00:00:49,560 --> 00:00:50,920 Speaker 3: work still to get done. 17 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 1: In college. Jackson's aggressiveness when running through the hall was 18 00:00:55,920 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: was a note when he was coming out of college 19 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,200 Speaker 1: and received him die a decent amount to practice. How 20 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: to aggressive again in the Bills game and now this one, 21 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 1: I mean, how do you coach it out of him? 22 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: How you balance it? If you don't want to take 23 00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: it away? Also you can say how how do you 24 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:09,600 Speaker 1: find that? Yeah? 25 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 3: I went to coach it out of them, and there's 26 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 3: just certain times that you got to make the right decision. 27 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,800 Speaker 3: I would say in this particular game is probably a 28 00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: good time to slide the third preseason game. You know, 29 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 3: every situation is different. I've had different quarterbacks that can 30 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 3: that can run and are pretty productive running the football. 31 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 3: You know, there's a time and the place. You know 32 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,400 Speaker 3: you'd like to take as few hits as you can. 33 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:42,679 Speaker 3: But I like Jackson's competitiveness, his toughness. You know, we've 34 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,520 Speaker 3: got to make the right decision, and those are split 35 00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:48,800 Speaker 3: second decisions, Connor, So you know, I trust I trust him, 36 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 3: I trust the guys that that I've been around, our guys. 37 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 3: I trust him to do the right thing. But I'll 38 00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,480 Speaker 3: never take his competitiveness away or. 39 00:01:56,600 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: To decide until a second where they go downloading. 40 00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: Of the r Yeah, I think that's probably a good 41 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 3: question for for Jackson and those guys that that do it. 42 00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,800 Speaker 2: You know, things happened to split second in this league. 43 00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,680 Speaker 3: Certainly don't want to take any unnecessary hits, but I 44 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 3: love his competitiveness and his toughness. 45 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,079 Speaker 1: I do you think you did today? I mean, you 46 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,040 Speaker 1: know it's because his first start, I true's exciting. 47 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,720 Speaker 2: I mean every ball should have been complete, so for 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:27,480 Speaker 2: all but one, maybe it. 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 4: Was your plan to take came out at that point though, 50 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 4: just to like, no matter whether you took that. 51 00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,240 Speaker 2: Hit or not, was it your plan? I'm sorry? 52 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:35,720 Speaker 4: Was it your plan for him to only play that 53 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 4: to that point in the game and then go to 54 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 4: Jamis or would you have put Jackson back in if 55 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,079 Speaker 4: you're not taking a hat. 56 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 3: No, Jamis was up and then Tommy was just going 57 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 3: to play in the second half. 58 00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: How did you see your Thomas play? 59 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 3: I thought all the quarterbacks played well. I thought they've 60 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:56,480 Speaker 3: played well all preseason. Thought they've played well all training camp. Decisive, quick, 61 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,520 Speaker 3: good decision making. You know, we threw that pick down 62 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 3: there and the end zone again, but timely I think helped. 63 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 3: The line line's doing a nice job, but the quarterbacks 64 00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:11,120 Speaker 3: are doing a nice job as well. Dave, how did 65 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 3: Dave's How did Jackson dish made no decision at some 66 00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:15,920 Speaker 3: point yesterday. 67 00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: And then even earlier that he was going to start tonight. 68 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: How did his process change. 69 00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 4: With at all from last night that today? If he 70 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:27,760 Speaker 4: gives him opportunities that you know, kind of simulate what 71 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:28,280 Speaker 4: it would. 72 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: Be like starting to game. 73 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a short week. Art obviously we played 74 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 3: what Saturday, so it was a short week. You know 75 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: that Jackson had an idea he was going to start 76 00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 3: for the week. I think that's important. Again, it's the 77 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 3: third preseason game. You're not putting a lot of really 78 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 3: not doing any game planning. But for a quarterback, you know, 79 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,880 Speaker 3: whatever calls we put on a call sheet to prepare. 80 00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 2: But he needs to prepare like that every week. 81 00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 5: So to all the quarterbacks, good, it's a tough spot 82 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 5: days for you and your quarterback. If you had four quarterbacks, 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 5: who you know, it becomes the numbers game at some point. 84 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: But to get the. 85 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 5: Play that you've gotten out of your quarterbacks, who knows 86 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 5: what's gonna happen on Tuesday. 87 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 4: But it's rare for a team to keep four. 88 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: Is it hard for you because you spent so much 89 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: time with these quarterbacks? 90 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 5: And I know it's hard every year at every possion. Yeah, 91 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 5: but just to get to get exactly what you've gotten 92 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,719 Speaker 5: out of these four guys, is it's gonna be hard 93 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,320 Speaker 5: to move forward if you have to move forward. 94 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, i'd say with every player, Art, I know 95 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 3: it's you know Obviously the quarterbacks around them a lot, 96 00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 3: you develop a special relationship with them. But for every player, 97 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,240 Speaker 3: you know, they put so much time and effort into, 98 00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,040 Speaker 3: you know, being the best that they can be to 99 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 3: try to make a roster and unfortunately you can only 100 00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 3: keep a certain amount. I certainly appreciate everybody's you know again, 101 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,600 Speaker 3: work ethic and commitment to the team, even the way 102 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: the guys were playing all the way up until the end. 103 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: I know it's the third preseason game, but I think 104 00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:07,719 Speaker 3: there's something to be said for the level of discipline 105 00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: and accountability and effort that they've give all the way through. 106 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 3: And you guys on the sideline jumping up and down 107 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:15,479 Speaker 3: or running down after DJ had TJ had that pick, 108 00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:20,919 Speaker 3: you know, trying to build something. But it's it's you know, 109 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 3: these next couple of days are are tough, tough on 110 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 3: the players, and they're tough on the personnel staff, the 111 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: coaching staff, because this is a relationship business. 112 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:31,120 Speaker 1: Where do you think Jay when like the one beat 113 00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: him in the shoulder then makes a catch on the loan. 114 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, you had a nice touchdown, What about the other 115 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: keep one for Jackson? Go back and look at it. 116 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: You know, now that we're through the off season, three 117 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,760 Speaker 1: camp preseasons going. We spent a lot of time talking 118 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 1: about you're playing with Jackson. You know through it all, 119 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: did you accomplish what you wanted to with him to 120 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 1: this point? Did you were able to do a little 121 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: bit more than what you expected when this whole thing to. 122 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 3: Get Yeah, it's a kind of run a day to 123 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 3: day plan with the with the young quarterback. 124 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:01,640 Speaker 2: Every day we're learning something. 125 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 3: For example, I put him out there at coin toss 126 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 3: today and he's running up to me three. 127 00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:11,400 Speaker 2: Minutes what do you want me to do again? I've 128 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: never done this before. Just on you know, the last second. 129 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 3: I told him you're going out there right when I 130 00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 3: got here today, a few minutes before we went out there. 131 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 3: So he's thinking about that and just try to do 132 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,560 Speaker 3: things that you know may come up one day with him. 133 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 3: So we'll keep on building them. I think Shay and 134 00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 3: Calf have done a really good job with him. I 135 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,040 Speaker 3: think he's done a good job. Credit the player first 136 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 3: and foremost, being a rookie quarterback is not easy. Being 137 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,359 Speaker 3: a quarterback is not easy. So he knows he's got 138 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,479 Speaker 3: a lot of things to work on, but he's made 139 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,760 Speaker 3: progress every day, and I'm glad. 140 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 2: I'm glad we drafted. I'm glad he's our guy. 141 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I have do It was less, you know, you know, 142 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 3: I usually have the quarterback out there and decide what 143 00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,159 Speaker 3: we're gonna do. He's like, wait a minute, so to 144 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 3: take the ball, but what if they defer which way 145 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: you want me to kick? So there was there was 146 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 3: just things. He's out there warming up and he's coming 147 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 3: over to me. I'm like what, and he's got too quiet. 148 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 3: I'm like, don't worry about that, just let's go. But 149 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:14,160 Speaker 3: I wanted him to think about, you know, you know, 150 00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 3: what it'll be like one day
