Speaker 1: But you were able to kind of take a look
Speaker 1: back on and just how to go Seeing him do
Speaker 1: it this way can help me or those are things
Speaker 1: that if you picked up from his game. Oh yeah, absolutely,
Speaker 1: I mean, Brock, he plays the game in the right way.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why I had so much success. I
Speaker 1: was just super excited for him. You know, he worked
Speaker 1: his butt off all O t A since just the
Speaker 1: first day he got here, since the day got drafted. Um,
Speaker 1: so he deserved everything, everything he got this year and more.
Speaker 1: And I truly believe that. But yeah, just like I said,
Speaker 1: just tried to help him as much as I could.
Speaker 1: Um learned a lot from him as well, you know,
Speaker 1: just from a human being standpoint. Um, maybe he's a
Speaker 1: great person someone that that I see a lot of
Speaker 1: myself in. So it's great for me to just be
Speaker 1: able to have a quarterback room like we did throughout
Speaker 1: the year. Last year, you talked about Jimmy being kind
Speaker 1: of like a brother to you. What's your relationship with Brock, Like,
Speaker 1: do you have a really close relationship with him too?
Speaker 1: Is it or is it more of a working relationship
Speaker 1: super closely Brock? I mean obviously, like you mentioned just
Speaker 1: that work so close in age. Um, it bugged me off.
Speaker 1: We found out about halfway through the year. I'm sure
Speaker 1: he knew, but that he's a little bit older than me.
Speaker 1: That that bugged me a little bit. But but now
Speaker 1: it was awesome, man. I mean, he's just such a
Speaker 1: great person. Got to meet his family, um, his girlfriend,
Speaker 1: things like that. Uh, and the people that you surround
Speaker 1: himself with says a lot about it. What's your plan
Speaker 1: between now and the start of the off season program?
Speaker 1: Will you go down to Southern California Forna. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: be here for at least until I get cleared, and
Speaker 1: then I'll figure it out after that, but definitely for
Speaker 1: these next four weeks, I just want to make sure
Speaker 1: I'm getting, you know, exactly where they want me, exactly
Speaker 1: where I feel like, you know, more like myself. Do
Speaker 1: you want to work on anything specifically during the off season, um, throwing,
Speaker 1: moor and anything like that. Yeah, yeah, not necessarily my motion. Um,
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm in a really good spot and
Speaker 1: you've been throwing obviously just half kneeling and just standing
Speaker 1: just in shoes, having put any cleats on yet, But
Speaker 1: I mean yet, tons of stuff. I feel like I
Speaker 1: have a much better plan UM this obviously and I
Speaker 1: said the same thing last year, but even more I'm
Speaker 1: sure you know, as the years go on to get
Speaker 1: better and better, just knowing as far as you know
Speaker 1: what they want for me, UM, and where I felt,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not my best to hear inside of
Speaker 1: this just frustrating. It It's been for years. You don't
Speaker 1: go to full seasons without really getting your shot to
Speaker 1: show what you can do. Uh, It's it's been you know,
Speaker 1: ups and downs. For sure. Last year I got to
Speaker 1: be on the field, so that helped a lot. UM.
Speaker 1: At the same time, I was still learning throughout the
Speaker 1: whole year. UM. This year obviously physically from physical standpoint,
Speaker 1: it was frustrating early on, UM, but I mean I
Speaker 1: got great people around me. I mean the guy's like
Speaker 1: Alija Mitchell. It was a big one for me this year,
Speaker 1: just because he was rehabing his m c O twice
Speaker 1: UM s spen sometime within the training room. UM and
Speaker 1: just like man watching these guys play, watching these guys
Speaker 1: locked into meetings, watching these guys you know, just on
Speaker 1: the practice field from afar UM, It's inspired me the
Speaker 1: whole the whole year so it wasn't hard for me
Speaker 1: to you know, keep going or anything like that. I
Speaker 1: see that, as you know, it's my only option. So
Speaker 1: it was never really hard, I guess mentally from that standpoint,
Speaker 1: as you know, people would think, um, but I just
Speaker 1: got such great people around me, great people in this organizations.
Speaker 1: I really didn't feel like I had anything to worried about.
Speaker 1: Would impress sheet most about Brock can tell he stepped him.
Speaker 1: Just how he handled himself. I mean, we can talk
Speaker 1: about throws all day. He can make every throw in
Speaker 1: the world, and he showed that throughout the year. But
Speaker 1: just how he handled himself, you know, the way he
Speaker 1: inserted himself in the offense. Um, the way he was
Speaker 1: you know, treating other people really, um, you need treated
Speaker 1: guys from guy's first day in the building. I'm practice
Speaker 1: squad the same as you know, Nick Bosa um. So
Speaker 1: I think that says a lot about in this personal talk.
Speaker 1: All these quarterback injuries out of this seasons are just
Speaker 1: bad lucky. I mean anam personally don't believe in luck.
Speaker 1: You know, I truly believe everything happens for a reason.
Speaker 1: I think that's that's what helped me throughout this year. Um,
Speaker 1: and even right now, I believe that everything happens for
Speaker 1: a reason. I might not know the reason ever, might
Speaker 1: not know the reason until next year. But whatever happened
Speaker 1: this year, whatever happened to me, you know, Jimmy Brock, Josh,
Speaker 1: you know it's crazy to say, um, but yeah, but
Speaker 1: I truly believe that everything happens for a reason and
Speaker 1: that we're all gonna be better from it. This has
Speaker 1: been such a tight locker room. What are the emotions
Speaker 1: of just knowing that with contracts and everything else that
Speaker 1: goes on in the NFL off seas and the lock
Speaker 1: room won't look exactly the same next year. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it's hard every year. Uh, this year, I feel
Speaker 1: like I have a better idea and understanding that it
Speaker 1: won't be the same. Um. But going in the last year,
Speaker 1: obviously I didn't know what to expect from a coaching
Speaker 1: staff standpoint, from from players standpoint. Uh. I mean it
Speaker 1: definitely the hardest part for me is, you know, the guys,
Speaker 1: you get real close for a minute. Eastern dies right
Speaker 1: next to me to my lockers. I don't know, you know,
Speaker 1: what's gonna happen with him? But man, nothing obviously more
Speaker 1: I want than than to have those guys back right
Speaker 1: next to me in the locker room next year. But
Speaker 1: I understand, you know, it's a business. That's just kind
Speaker 1: of how things go. I'm sure, I mean some of
Speaker 1: this out of your control whatever, but I'm sure you're
Speaker 1: well aware of some of the talk, like when I
Speaker 1: just made a mistakes answer, etcetera, etcetera. Uh, I don't
Speaker 1: know how does that make you feel? What does it
Speaker 1: do to you as a competitor. I mean, I'm excited
Speaker 1: to go out and showed I can do. Uh, same
Speaker 1: same situation that it's been for me the last two years.
Speaker 1: Uh and really my whole life. Um, nothing, nothing has
Speaker 1: really changed. And still the same mind said. I don't
Speaker 1: read you guys articles unfortunately for you guys. Sorry m
Speaker 1: but and I know people do, and that's just part
Speaker 1: of it as part of this job, as part of
Speaker 1: the business. But if I'm worried about that stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: I've said it a million times. I just worry about
Speaker 1: what these guys think in this locker room with the
Speaker 1: coaches think, what people in this organization think. Anything outside
Speaker 1: of that, it's told me out of my control. So
Speaker 1: I don't know why i'd let that have any impact
Speaker 1: on all right, thank you, all right, right to brock
