1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,280
Speaker 1: So what are you're hoping to show them on Thursday night? Yeah.

2
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,000
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just translating what I'm

3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,280
Speaker 1: doing a practice fields to the games. Um, you know,

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:08,880
Speaker 1: take what the defense gives me, not try to do

5
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: too much. UM. I have a habit of doing that.

6
00:00:10,960 --> 00:00:15,160
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I'm really feeling good and there's a tight window,

7
00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: I feel like I can make most of them. But

8
00:00:16,880 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: sometimes it gets us in trouble. So just kind of

9
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: play smart and just just play the best I can.

10
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,599
Speaker 1: I think I'll be pretty good enough. You have to

11
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:24,440
Speaker 1: kind of alter your mindset with that. I mean, Mike, sure,

12
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:26,759
Speaker 1: We'll talked about it yesterday. Sometimes because of your arms

13
00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: saying do you feel like you can fit it into

14
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: any window? Can you kind of go through and adjust

15
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,720
Speaker 1: that in game or do you have to? I don't think.

16
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: I think it's just having the mindset just don't chase

17
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: and be aggressively patient. Um, just understand the down distance,

18
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:40,840
Speaker 1: the situation of the game at all at all different

19
00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 1: in practice. You know, it's it's four reps or three reps,

20
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: and you're trying to do the best you can for

21
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: that play and that's it. Then you bet on the

22
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: next one. So I'm just kinda understand the flow of

23
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: the game and the situation and um, again, just don't

24
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 1: chase you and just take what the defense gives you. Davis,

25
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 1: You've had so much practice since you've been here, you know, Spring, summer,

26
00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: all this practice during the season. I mean, what is

27
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: like to did you know Thursday night you're gonna get

28
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: a pretty good chunk of playing time. Um, And I

29
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 1: think all the courts are gonna get plenty of time.

30
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 1: So it's just I'm just excited to be one of

31
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 1: them and go out there and play as hard as

32
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 1: I can and just kind of translate I've been doing

33
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:13,680
Speaker 1: the practice of the game, feel because I feel like

34
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 1: I've been doing a lot of good things in our

35
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,760
Speaker 1: practice field. I think I've gotten better every day. I

36
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: think it's easy to see from a year ago how

37
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 1: much better I am and how much better I'm gonna get.

38
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: So just kind of take it day by day and

39
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,960
Speaker 1: just continue to get better. Um, it's one preseason game,

40
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, just kind of treated as that and play

41
00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:31,800
Speaker 1: my best I can. And because they're they're really good

42
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: over there. I mean, they they have a lot of

43
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: guys that get drafted number one overall with Baker and

44
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,960
Speaker 1: Miles and guys on defense and Greg Williams one of

45
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 1: the best in the business of what he does, so, um,

46
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: there's a lot of respect over there. It's just the

47
00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: longest you've ever gone without playing in the game. Um yeah,

48
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: I guess that happens to a lot of people. You know,

49
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,919
Speaker 1: if you're a second or third string quarterback in the NFL,

50
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: sometimes you know, you don't get you get to wait

51
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:55,760
Speaker 1: a little bit because that star is playing good or

52
00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: hasn't gotten hurt, or you know, stuff like that. So

53
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: thankfully Eli um won't get hurt. Hope Eli won't get

54
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: hurt and keeps playing good. So, UM, yeah, it's just

55
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: been the longest I've went with that plan. Do you

56
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: think there'll be some game rust? You know? I mean,

57
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: obviously you've been practicing, you've been playing football for a

58
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,400
Speaker 1: long time, but when you get into a game is

59
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,480
Speaker 1: a little different than that. I don't think so. I

60
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: think we're all excited to go against someone else, someone

61
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: else other than ourselves, and UM excited to kind of

62
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 1: see Cleveland and um see what they do defensively and

63
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of pick up blitz is communication with the center,

64
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: UM breaking the huddle, get into the line and getting

65
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 1: the ball stamps and playing football and nothing nothing too crazy.

66
00:02:31,840 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: You can watch hard knocks tonight to get a scouting report.

67
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: I don't think so. UM, I think I think I'm

68
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:37,959
Speaker 1: getting out here a little late. I might miss it.

69
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 1: You know, we don't get uh ti vo at the hotel. Yeah,

70
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 1: good back. UM, there's no really positive negative in the

71
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: camps camp. You know, the weather's gonna be hot up

72
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: here in humid and an east wether for you're gonna

73
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: get a lot of wind. But the biggest thing is

74
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:55,560
Speaker 1: I think with coach Sherman's he's done. He's done a

75
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:58,320
Speaker 1: great job of UM. You know, asking our opinions to

76
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,440
Speaker 1: be like morning or afternoon practice is better. UM. Really

77
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,280
Speaker 1: getting us time to get home at night so we're

78
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,160
Speaker 1: able to get eight plus hours of sleep so we

79
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: can recover and come back um with the hun percent

80
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,680
Speaker 1: the next day and give it our best. So meetings

81
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: have been great. Everybody, every single position group has been

82
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 1: learning a ton and UM you can see it practice,

83
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 1: you know, the linebacker groups getting better each and every day.

84
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,519
Speaker 1: The dbs are UM. The old lines done a great

85
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: job communicating, coming together as a unit, so um, it's

86
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: a credit to coach Hermer and the coaching staff kind

87
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: of bring us all together, you like, morning or afternoon whatever.

88
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: Coach Shermer says. We talked about you know, you don't

89
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: want to do too much. You don't want to you know,

90
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: use your arm too much as far as trying to

91
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: make a play that's not there. But how do you

92
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: bounce that with all with you want to make big place.

93
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: You know, you don't play very much. You want to

94
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: go out there and make some big places. You know,

95
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 1: the risk reward kind of thing. I think, I think

96
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: I do okay job of it right now. Is just

97
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: at the same time understanding the situation and you know

98
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, third and long. You know, nothing wrong

99
00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: with taking a checkdown and flipping the field position. You

100
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: know you don't have to force anything down. I just

101
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: kind of the situation to play aggressively patient um, and

102
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: don't chase, you know, don't try to chase something that

103
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 1: you wanted to be there but it's not thereable approach

104
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: job out of this, Like you could be here saying

105
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: I'm back working and come in and say you're just

106
00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: here and I have to do the best I can online.

107
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 1: My job, my job description and in my opinion, is

108
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: to be the hardest working player on the team, and

109
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:22,800
Speaker 1: be the best teammate on the team, and try to

110
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: be the best you possibly can at quarterback. So if

111
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: that's the backup, that's third string, or maybe be the

112
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:29,840
Speaker 1: first guy, just do the best you can, be the

113
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: best teammate you can, be the hardest worker. I don't

114
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: I don't make decisions like that. I just try to

115
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: do those three things each and every day. Did you

116
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: blame your third offensive scheme in the last three years?

117
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,800
Speaker 1: Canna actually help you as far as getting compared as

118
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,760
Speaker 1: you see so much more? Um, yeah, I think just

119
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: the way coach Sherburn and coach has taught the offense

120
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: through O T A S and now training camp. Uh,

121
00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: this is now our second and third time and fourth

122
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: time through it. So I think our receivers, especially are

123
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: playing so much faster. You can kind of tell Sterling, Shepherd, Hunter,

124
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 1: Sharp h Cody have have really picked up their speed

125
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: and they look like really dependable targets. And Odell's O'Dell,

126
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: I mean he I don't even know if he got

127
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: hurt last year the way he looks. Where did you

128
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:14,280
Speaker 1: learn to phrase aggressively patience, let's coach phrase. UM, I'm

129
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,119
Speaker 1: not gonna take credit for that. UM, I'll steal from him. Yeah,

130
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: it's kind of I've kind of elaborated on a little bit,

131
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 1: just kind of takeing what the defense gives you and

132
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:24,839
Speaker 1: there's a chance to make a shot, and take a

133
00:05:24,839 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: shot and if not, and go through your progressions. UM,

134
00:05:27,640 --> 00:05:31,040
Speaker 1: we're all coached great by two great quarterback minds, and UM,

135
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: our jobs just to be coachable and complete the ball

136
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 1: to the open guy on time and accurately
