1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,400
Speaker 1: You feel like you're in a playoff game in the

2
00:00:03,400 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: divisional round, but yet also a long time ago at

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:07,000
Speaker 1: the same time.

4
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:09,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, No, it's been a pretty quick year. It feels

5
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 2: like we were just in the playoffs and like we

6
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 2: were just in Philly and all that. So it's gone fast.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 3: Have you ever met Jordan Love?

8
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,240
Speaker 4: How familiar are you with his game?

9
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,920
Speaker 2: I haven't met him. I know guys that have, and

10
00:00:24,200 --> 00:00:26,840
Speaker 2: everyone respects him. I respect him obviously for what he's

11
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: done and just the situation that he's been in, you know,

12
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: playing behind Aaron for a number of years and and

13
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: then coming in and you know, sort of proven to

14
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,880
Speaker 2: himself and everybody like who he is. So definitely respect

15
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 2: his story and his game and everything and how he's

16
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:43,560
Speaker 2: handled himself.

17
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 4: So yeah, do you feel different this.

18
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 5: Year just having had playoff experience last year, having gone

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,960
Speaker 5: through it, and now having that under your belt going into.

20
00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 4: Your second time around.

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like it's a little different, you know,

22
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 2: just last year, you know, still trying to find my

23
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: way in a sense, you know, I got thrown towards

24
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 2: the end of the year, and and so every single

25
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 2: week I was, you know, still trying to play good

26
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,319
Speaker 2: and learn, you know, who I was as a quarterback

27
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 2: and and obviously get more familiar with playing within the system.

28
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: So those are all things that were sort of on

29
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 2: my plate last year, and then obviously trying to win

30
00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,400
Speaker 2: every single week and get this team to the to

31
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: the end. And so now I guess this year just

32
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,400
Speaker 2: being more familiar with the offense, who I am and

33
00:01:22,440 --> 00:01:26,920
Speaker 2: all that. It's it's a little different, but it's good

34
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 2: to sort of, you know, watch the games from last

35
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 2: year and sort of remember, you know, just the feeling

36
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: and the emotions of you know, playing in a playoff game.

37
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 4: It's it's good. It's you know, huge.

38
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,119
Speaker 2: For me as a quarterback to you know, go back

39
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: to those moments and sort of remember what it feels like.

40
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:46,839
Speaker 2: So those are things that I'm sort of banking on. Yeah,

41
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 2: I feel like, you know, the first game was a

42
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 2: little bit tense, you know, just in terms of you know,

43
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: every play mattered, you know, not trying to turn the

44
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 2: ball over and but at the same time, you know,

45
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 2: making plays still and winning and doing what it takes

46
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: to win.

47
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,400
Speaker 4: So those were things I.

48
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:03,880
Speaker 2: Sort of had to learn, you know, and watching the

49
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:05,680
Speaker 2: film it's sort of, you know, you get back into

50
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,400
Speaker 2: that that feeling of last year and the first time

51
00:02:08,480 --> 00:02:11,359
Speaker 2: in a playoff game, and so it's sort of good

52
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:13,640
Speaker 2: to remember those kinds of things moving forward, you know,

53
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: sort of under understanding what to expect, you know, for

54
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: the first playoff game this year.

55
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: For me, at what point in the game on Sunday,

56
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: did you kind of feel like, okay, we are going

57
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: to be playing the Packers and.

58
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 3: Start to wrap around that.

59
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: I mean, you never know.

60
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 2: You know, at the end, the Cowboys were making a

61
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: push and so you never really know, but you know,

62
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,080
Speaker 2: after they got up and then the third quarter they

63
00:02:36,080 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 2: were up pretty big, I was like, Okay, I think

64
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: this is gonna probably be be the team. But like

65
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 2: I said, you never know. When the Cowboys started to

66
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,239
Speaker 2: come back and I was all right, and so you're

67
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 2: just watching and then you know, obviously the minute the

68
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: clock said zero, it's like, all right, let's go.

69
00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 4: It's gonna be the Packers.

70
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 2: So it was a it was a great game to watch,

71
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 2: and you know, they came out ready to play against

72
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 2: the Cowboys, and manned they they.

73
00:02:58,480 --> 00:02:59,200
Speaker 4: Played really well.

74
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, I guess third quarter I started thinking we're

75
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 2: gonna play the Packers.

76
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 3: I watched tape of when the fort Nitors played in

77
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: Lambeau a couple of years ago in the playoffs, And

78
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:11,799
Speaker 3: do you remember maybe watching it live?

79
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: I guess when you're h Yeah, all I remember in

80
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: that game in college was the end, like the block

81
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: punt and all that kind of stuff. It was crazy,

82
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 2: but and it just being really cold. But we've watched

83
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 2: a couple of plays and stuff from that game and

84
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 2: sort of just seeing the environment playoff football in Lambeau

85
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:31,400
Speaker 2: with the snow and all that. I mean, what a

86
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 2: what a crazy game. So but yeah, just the history

87
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: of these two organizations and the playoff games and stuff,

88
00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:39,920
Speaker 2: it's pretty cool to to, you know, say that I

89
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 2: get to play in the in that game now, So

90
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: I'm excited for it.

91
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 3: Kyle worked you pretty hard during the bye week. What

92
00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 3: was the process? What kinds of things did you guys

93
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 3: work on. Did you feel like it was a productive.

94
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:53,480
Speaker 4: Use of your time? Yeah, it was a It was

95
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 4: a great off week. Obviously.

96
00:03:56,240 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 2: It wasn't like, you know, you're gonna have a bunch

97
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 2: of days off to just go do whatever you want.

98
00:03:59,600 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 4: Like it was.

99
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 2: You know, we got we came in every day, got

100
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: good work in so obviously getting after it with the

101
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 2: playbook and and little fundamentals you know for myself that

102
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 2: I need to get better at, you know that that

103
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,920
Speaker 2: have popped up on film and stuff throughout the year.

104
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 2: So we just want to keep hammering away at those things.

105
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 2: And then just getting in that you know, competitive nature

106
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 2: with our defense. Obviously Fred across on the other side

107
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 2: of the ball, and and competing and so we definitely

108
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,839
Speaker 2: got some good working and you know, Kyle and and

109
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 2: Greasy and all those guys pushed us on offense, you know,

110
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 2: throughout the week.

111
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: So I thought it was a really productive week.

112
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: Well discount to your no, discount to your scout team.

113
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: But how much more do you get out of going

114
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: up against the ones?

115
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,279
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's huge.

116
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:43,040
Speaker 2: Obviously they fly around, they're really disciplined with their drops

117
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: and stuff. You got the crazy defensive line that we have,

118
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 2: and and they're push in the pocket. So you put

119
00:04:48,480 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: all those things together, man, it's it's really good work

120
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: that you can get out of it. So and then

121
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,719
Speaker 2: obviously just the like I said, the competitive nature. You know,

122
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,919
Speaker 2: you feel your blood starts to pump a little bit

123
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 2: when you're going against Dre and Fred and and both

124
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 2: off the edge and the secondary that we have.

125
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,599
Speaker 4: So it's, uh, it's always fun.

126
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 5: Like some of the you know, hype around that, you say,

127
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 5: like specifically, does it affect your effect in the game

128
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 5: and does that experience help you go into.

129
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:34,479
Speaker 2: This Yeah, I mean yeah, just it being a primetime game,

130
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 2: Christmas Day and all that kind of stuff, and then

131
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 2: you know, we sort of had two really good plays

132
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:41,200
Speaker 2: in the beginning of the game, and the stadium's feeling it,

133
00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 2: everybody's feeling good, and then boom, you make a mistake.

134
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 2: So it gets something for me. It's huge to be

135
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: able to get in that kind of moment and remember

136
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,839
Speaker 2: those kinds of things for as tough as they were

137
00:05:53,839 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 2: and how bad as I felt after.

138
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:57,679
Speaker 4: Man's that kind of stuff.

139
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: You know, it can help you if you're allowed to

140
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 2: to go back, I can watch it on film and

141
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 2: be real with yourself about those moments and what it

142
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: takes to play quarterback at this level and be successful

143
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,359
Speaker 2: and play consistently and make the right decisions consistently. So

144
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 2: those are all things that I took account from that

145
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:17,279
Speaker 2: game that I think I got better at. And honestly,

146
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:19,160
Speaker 2: we're gonna find out, you know, the playoffs coming up

147
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 2: and in this game. So yeah, I thought I took

148
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: some stuff away from it. But at the end the day,

149
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: we're gonna find out on Sunday or Saturday touchdowns and.

150
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,039
Speaker 3: A way higher percentage on your first possession than any

151
00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: other percentage any other possession in the game.

152
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,080
Speaker 4: Kyle says he doesn't care one way or the other.

153
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,240
Speaker 4: He thinks they're all important.

154
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 3: But do you feel any different in the first possession?

155
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 3: I mean, why, how do you account for the fact that.

156
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: You guys have been so good at scoring touchdowns for

157
00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: the first.

158
00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 3: Time you get the ball.

159
00:06:47,240 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of things that go

160
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:50,839
Speaker 2: into that, but I mean I think at the end

161
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:51,760
Speaker 2: of the day, it's football.

162
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,919
Speaker 4: You know, it's a physical sport.

163
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: So I mean we're all juiced up and ready to

164
00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 2: go for the first drive. And just our mindset with

165
00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: getting on a team, you know, pretty quickly and doing

166
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 2: the little things right from the jump. That's a big

167
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 2: emphasis that we have here. So that's something I think

168
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 2: we've done well. And then obviously our scheme and stuff,

169
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 2: the plays that we we know we're gonna call for

170
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: the first drive, those are all things that you can

171
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: prepare for and it helps you out as a player.

172
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 2: So I think all those things added up together. That's

173
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: why you've seen us, I think, have success early on.

174
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 2: So we gotta I mean honestly, every drive matters, just

175
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,680
Speaker 2: like Kyle said, Man, so is that something that we

176
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: got to go into the game. So we have to

177
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: like every game is different. Obviously we won't score every

178
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 2: time we touch the ball.

179
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: But yeah, take.

180
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 3: Away from your sit down with Steve Young and did

181
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: you consider that informative or useful in any way?

182
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought it was awesome.

183
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 2: Obviously he was sort of you know, asking me some

184
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,240
Speaker 2: questions and stuff about you know, my process, how I

185
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 2: think and all that. But you know, he had some

186
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 2: really good just ideas and things that he said, and

187
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 2: and good perspectives on just the game in general. And

188
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: so you can tell obviously he was successful just by

189
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: the way he thinks and and uh, how he views

190
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 2: life and stuff. I think all of that put into

191
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: one man. That's the reason why he is the way

192
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 2: he is. And so to be able to sit down

193
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 2: with him was very honored. And yeah, I thought it

194
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 2: was pretty cool that he was asking some really good questions,

195
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: not just the generic stuff.

196
00:08:14,920 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 4: So and then after getting.

197
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: To be able to talk to him and and uh

198
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: just talk about ball and everything, and the fact that

199
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: he has my back and supports me and what I'm

200
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 2: doing is pretty cool too.

201
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 4: So sweet.

202
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:33,200
Speaker 2: How much taller are am I taller? I don't even know.

203
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 2: Maybe an inch, I hope.

204
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:37,560
Speaker 3: So, I don't know, what are your thoughts on your

205
00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 3: younger brother as he's still coming.

206
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,600
Speaker 2: To Yeah, I mean, obviously there was a lot of

207
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:47,240
Speaker 2: the whole coaching turnover thing that just happened with you know,

208
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,440
Speaker 2: the head coach going to Arizona. So he's gonna, you know,

209
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,199
Speaker 2: sort of just I don't know, he's feeling it out

210
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 2: still and he's got some decisions to make and I'm

211
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: really excited for him and happy for him either way.

212
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,400
Speaker 2: So but yeah, if you can be in the Bay,

213
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 2: that'd be pretty sweet, am my brother here.

214
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 5: Green Bay's deepense had a couple of interceptions against Dallas.

215
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: They didn't really have too many in the regular season.

216
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 3: Did they show anything differently and how they played Dallas

217
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 3: or maybe more aggressively? What did you see in that department?

218
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think there were just some really

219
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,439
Speaker 2: good plays made by their dbs, you know, Jy R.

220
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 2: Alexander with his ball and steaks on on his one interception,

221
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 2: and then number twenty six Savage coming down and making

222
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,960
Speaker 2: a good read on Dak and jumping a slant. I think,

223
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,400
Speaker 2: you know, I don't, I don't want to, you know,

224
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 2: say anything on their behalf, but I mean it looks

225
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 2: like it's playoff football.

226
00:09:37,320 --> 00:09:37,440
Speaker 5: Man.

227
00:09:37,480 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 2: They're they're aggressive in what they're doing, and when they

228
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,439
Speaker 2: see an opportunity, they're willing to, like I said, be

229
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,719
Speaker 2: aggressive and take it. So those are all things I

230
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: think we have to take account and for myself, you know,

231
00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 2: obviously with the ball in my hands every play. So

232
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 2: they're guys that can make plays and I have to

233
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,880
Speaker 2: understand that. So it's gonna be a really good challenge

234
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 2: getting out eighteen.

235
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: How excited or how much are you pitching to just

236
00:09:58,480 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 1: actually get back out.

237
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: There and to get in Actually yeah, I mean it

238
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 2: was weird, you know, seeing the whole team and all

239
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 2: my guys, you know, just out warming up for the

240
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 2: game and stuff, and I was like, man, I wish,

241
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 2: you know, I was able to do it with them

242
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:14,080
Speaker 2: and stuff. So I'm glad honestly that we were able

243
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:15,920
Speaker 2: to get through that and and I was able to

244
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:18,360
Speaker 2: practice with them this week and I'm playing this week,

245
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 2: so I'm really excited about that. But definitely was an

246
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: itch for sure, but at the same time, being able

247
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 2: to see the other guys get opportunities go in and

248
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: play it was huge and and watched them play it.

249
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: Was it was sweet.

250
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 2: So but definitely ready for for this one.

251
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:37,560
Speaker 5: We will have animated sideline conversations. I mean, not like

252
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:41,120
Speaker 5: screaming at each other or anything, but you know, it

253
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 5: gets tense and tight. Figure out what do they get

254
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 5: I don't know, heated word, but exchanges like during the.

255
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean at the end of the day, we

256
00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: want to win and we're competitors at heart. He played

257
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 2: this position, he played it well, and so he gets it.

258
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 2: And you know, we're obviously very hard on ourselves at

259
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:08,160
Speaker 2: the quarterback position, and we have a standard that we

260
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:11,440
Speaker 2: have here and whenever I'm not playing at a level

261
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,080
Speaker 2: that I should be, he's the first to tell me,

262
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 2: which I love. And uh, you know, as a quarterback,

263
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,480
Speaker 2: I want a coach who's real and and holds a

264
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: standard and doesn't allow any you know, room for air

265
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 2: and doesn't have any slack on us. Like if that

266
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 2: were the case, man, I don't think i'd be playing

267
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 2: good football, you know, I wouldn't be able to play

268
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 2: at my full potential. And he helps me get to

269
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 2: that and and centers me back on the mindset that

270
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 2: we need to have. And honestly, he lights a fire

271
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 2: you know in me throughout the game too, and reminds

272
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,160
Speaker 2: me of you know, the competitive uh nature that we

273
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 2: need to have even though we're quarterbacks and stuff, like,

274
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,280
Speaker 2: we're the guys that can bring the juice to the offense.

275
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,600
Speaker 2: And so he's, uh, he's done that a lot throughout

276
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 2: the year, and I respect that a lot from him.

277
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 2: So anytime there's some animation on the sideline between us,

278
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:57,920
Speaker 2: it's I think a good thing too.

279
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,679
Speaker 1: So did you and Christian lean on each other? It

280
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 1: seemed like you both had that mentality of like really

281
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: really wanting to play, but you knew that you couldn't.

282
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,680
Speaker 2: I mean, did you guys leave on each other during

283
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 2: that from a week eighteen or some up?

284
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 4: Yeah?

285
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 2: I mean we yeah, yeah, I mean I think you know,

286
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 2: we we had talked about it throughout the week and stuff,

287
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 2: and obviously we understand what our end what the end

288
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 2: goal is and the big picture of things, and so

289
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 2: for him, obviously getting his body healthy and right, and

290
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 2: then obviously keeping me healthy.

291
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 4: Going into playoffs as well was huge.

292
00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 2: So those are things we both understood, and we both

293
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 2: hammered away at, you know, the little things throughout the week.

294
00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,400
Speaker 2: Obviously he came back looking great, you know, at practice

295
00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: and stuff. So but that's that's a professional right there.

296
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 2: You know, you understand what we're trying to do. Obviously,

297
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: we understood we had the first seed locked up, and

298
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: and to go out and play for our team was

299
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: awesome every every opportunity we get. But at the same time,

300
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 2: we both understand that we have to be healthy, you know,

301
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 2: going into playoffs, and so having his advice and help

302
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 2: throughout that time was he and but we're both excited

303
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 2: to obviously get through that and be healthy for this game.

304
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:08,040
Speaker 4: So we're excited for the opportunity. Thanks guys,
