Speaker 1: Where did you find out that from Kyle that you
Speaker 1: were the number two quarterback?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I think it was uh, you know,
Speaker 2: just uh going out to practice and him kind of
Speaker 2: relaying the news to me.
Speaker 3: And was that on Wednesday?
Speaker 2: I don't remember the exact day. Yeah, sur price to
Speaker 2: you or had you thought the days were kind of
Speaker 2: trending in that direction? No, I think you know, for
Speaker 2: for me and Trey, you know, we're we're both competing,
Speaker 2: and you know, we were doing everything that we could
Speaker 2: to earn that job. And you know, I think for
Speaker 2: me it's as a competitor, you know, you're expected to
Speaker 2: to want to win that job. And for me, it
Speaker 2: was just going out there playing really good football every
Speaker 2: single day. And I knew that at the end of
Speaker 2: the day, if I did that, I could be in
Speaker 2: a really good spot to earn that job. But I wasn't.
Speaker 2: I wasn't in my head at all ever, like thinking, oh,
Speaker 2: you know, I have a really good chance to win this.
Speaker 2: You know, I was just taking it one day at
Speaker 2: a time, you know, one practice at a time, one
Speaker 2: game at a time.
Speaker 3: That it's the spot that traded, now getting getting traded.
Speaker 3: What kind of words do you have for him or
Speaker 3: did you have for him? Spoke to him?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I haven't gotten a chance to spoke
Speaker 2: to him or speak to him yet since he got traded,
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean he's you know, he's a great dude,
Speaker 2: you know, loved in the locker room and all those things,
Speaker 2: and great teammate, you know, even coming here and competing
Speaker 2: and doing all those things. And even since O t as,
Speaker 2: you know, he's been nothing but great to me. And
Speaker 2: you know I've I've appreciated that a ton. So I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: What was your question?
Speaker 3: What kind of you know, advice or would you you know,
Speaker 3: as someone who's.
Speaker 1: Been Yeah, he's going through now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's it's just you know, putting one
Speaker 2: foot in front of the other. I'm taking it one
Speaker 2: day at a time, you know, obviously going there and
Speaker 2: I know he's gonna, you know, you know, sees whatever
Speaker 2: opportunity comes in his way, and he's he's gonna you know,
Speaker 2: dive headfirst into that playbook and get it down. So
Speaker 2: it's just it's really, you know, it's it's kind of
Speaker 2: a you know, what's next mentality in terms of uh,
Speaker 2: trying to get the the playbook down. And and you
Speaker 2: don't really have time to to think about any other
Speaker 2: things other than football.
Speaker 4: You have an opportunity to speak to him after you.
Speaker 3: Were told that you would want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we had we had a you know, a
Speaker 2: couple of days to just be able to be in
Speaker 2: the quarterback meetings and stuff and talk about it. And yeah,
Speaker 2: I know, uh, you know Trey, like I said, he's
Speaker 2: he's a great dude, really good player. He's gonna go
Speaker 2: somewhere and you know, go to Dallas and take advantage
Speaker 2: of the opportunities that it gets.
Speaker 3: You know, a lot of Trey's biggest fans have been
Speaker 3: mildly critical of you. I've just kind of wondered, have
Speaker 3: you heard that criticism as it bothered you at all?
Speaker 3: How have you dealt with it the last couple of months.
Speaker 2: No, I haven't. I haven't heard or looked at any criticism.
Speaker 2: You know, I'm not scrolling through the comments on on anything, Twitter, Instagram,
Speaker 2: any of that stuff, so, you know, and then people,
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't heard anything on the streets or
Speaker 2: anything like that, people saying things to me. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I think I think if I if I were to
Speaker 2: see those things or hear those things. It would just
Speaker 2: you know, I don't know if it would affect you
Speaker 2: that much. To be honest, we.
Speaker 4: Talked to You've got a lot a lot about better
Speaker 4: decision making is key for you. May interceptions and training
Speaker 4: game practice, citizen. In one interception you had the game
Speaker 4: in the preseason. It wasn't your fault. I mean, obviously
Speaker 4: it seems like you're you're making strides. What is it
Speaker 4: it's helped you develop in that area.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for me, it's it's understanding, Okay, you
Speaker 2: know what the situation is, you know, having a better
Speaker 2: grasp of Okay, first and second down, you know, just
Speaker 2: being a little more careful with the football. Understanding you know,
Speaker 2: we have a couple more downs to go to get
Speaker 2: the first down, and you know all those things play
Speaker 2: into it. And then third down kind of understanding what
Speaker 2: coverage they play and where we want to attack the defense,
Speaker 2: and uh, you know what my progressions are. So I think,
Speaker 2: you know, having a having a really good grasp on
Speaker 2: the offense and understanding kind of what the defense is doing,
Speaker 2: and being able to make quick and decisive decisions with
Speaker 2: the football. You know, that's you know, the biggest part
Speaker 2: in this position is is take care of the football,
Speaker 2: and that's I think the best way to do it.
Speaker 1: What have you learned about the system and how it
Speaker 1: might get you better than other places you've been.
Speaker 2: You know, I just think, you know, going going through
Speaker 2: the progressions, and you know, I'm not going to compare
Speaker 2: it to any other systems I've been in, but I
Speaker 2: just love how, you know, everything's very concise and clear,
Speaker 2: and it's this is where we're going with the football
Speaker 2: in this coverage and this coverage, we're alerting this and
Speaker 2: we're we're just getting it down to our back or whatever. It's. Uh,
Speaker 2: it's very clear and concise with what we want to
Speaker 2: do and what we want to accomplish on every play play.
Speaker 1: And so how do you feel like, you you know,
Speaker 1: at the end of the day when you go in
Speaker 1: and watch the film with Brian or whomever, how have
Speaker 1: you been as far as making the right reads and
Speaker 1: making the right decision?
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, you know, I feel like I've been
Speaker 2: doing a good job of making the right decisions. You know,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be certain plays where you'd like to have
Speaker 2: it back, but usually I can tell you know, right
Speaker 2: after the play day I should have gone to my
Speaker 2: alert on that player gone to the back, So
Speaker 3: Up for sure, guys,
