What 43 00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,000 Speaker 6: was that like where there were their nerves? Was it 44 00:01:57,400 --> 00:02:00,560 Speaker 6: some anxiety about you know, wanted to make a first impression, 45 00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 6: how would you describe, you know, those moments for you 46 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 6: when you first took the field. 47 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think always a little nervous, you know. I 48 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:07,960 Speaker 3: think you know, you're not getting nervous if you are 49 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,640 Speaker 3: nervous for something. I mean, it doesn't you know, mean 50 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,240 Speaker 3: something to you. That's you know how I look at it. 51 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 3: So I think nerves are a good thing. And after you 52 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,399 Speaker 3: get that first snap and then you know the play, 53 00:02:15,400 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 3: they've little whist within the first play, you kind of 54 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:20,079 Speaker 3: settled in. So I think, you know, being out there, 55 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 3: like I said, just run on the field, it was 56 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,639 Speaker 3: just a different feeling. It's hard to hard to you know, 57 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 3: emulate that in practice, you know, nothing like that. So 58 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 3: get a chance and you're finally getting hit and I 59 00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,359 Speaker 3: think maybe got touched, you know, for the first time 60 00:02:32,080 --> 00:02:34,600 Speaker 3: on the third down on the on the the last 61 00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,560 Speaker 3: third down, kind of got hit, so it kind of 62 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: felt Good'll get a hit under my belt.

And I've had them guys up front, you know, 82 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:29,720 Speaker 3: starts with them and do that tonight. So I think 83 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,040 Speaker 3: it starts the run game and you know off of 84 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: this offense, you know, it all starts off, you know, 85 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,560 Speaker 3: playing off the run, and then from there, I think 86 00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 3: those guys on these guys, we got a lot of 87 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 3: guys that can make plays, and you know it's our 88 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 3: job in our quarback room to get them the football. 89 00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 5: Behind the light over here, Drake. 90 00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 3: Obviously you only got one series out there, weren't able 91 00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:49,440 Speaker 3: to throw down the field much. 92 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 2: But whether it was in the huddle, pre snap, post snap, 93 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,600 Speaker 2: what do you feel you did well tonight and what 94 00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:55,440 Speaker 2: would you like to improve moving forward? 95 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:58,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think just enjoying the moment. It's kind of 96 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 3: the biggest thing out there as a rookie going on 97 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,560 Speaker 3: the first preseason game. I feel like I handled handled 98 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 3: the nerves, handled uds pretty well. I like cheered out 99 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 3: my teammates for us, the biggest thing, cheering on the guys. 100 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,320 Speaker 3: I feel like I was, you know, allowed on the 101 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 3: sideline and engaged. That's the biggest thing, you know, as 102 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,800 Speaker 3: a rookie coming in there, you want to be engaged 103 00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 3: and taking a look at the iPad after plays and 104 00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,279 Speaker 3: other than that, on the field, like, yeah, not a 105 00:04:20,279 --> 00:04:22,520 Speaker 3: lot happened, you know through a screen for first down 106 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:24,599 Speaker 3: to move the chains, but I think on the third 107 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 3: down maybe you should have tryed to you know, move 108 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,080 Speaker 3: down on the field. I think we had some stop 109 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:30,440 Speaker 3: routes at the chains that make it instead of throwing 110 00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:32,279 Speaker 3: the flat. But hey, that's what you watch film for, 111 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:37,400 Speaker 3: Like she already in the front row, Drake, would you 112 00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 3: have liked to get more reps and do you think 113 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 3: you're getting enough reps to develop the way you want 114 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 3: to here this summer? Yeah, I think you know, get 115 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,240 Speaker 3: a lot of reps in practice. I think practice, you know, 116 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,799 Speaker 3: it goes to show. Practice matters and you gotta practice 117 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: translate to the game. So I think the amount of 118 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:54,919 Speaker 3: reps from getting in practice is great for me. And 119 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 3: I'm just trying to take all the reps that can 120 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:58,839 Speaker 3: get that I am getting. I make the most of them. 121 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 3: So I think kind of down more preseason. I mean 122 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:03,679 Speaker 3: I'll be out there, you know some more, so looking 123 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:06,039 Speaker 3: forward to that same side. 124 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:09,719 Speaker 4: Bob starts Drake, following up the question I had for 125 00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 4: Joe regarding being on the sideline after you came out 126 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 4: of the game. You had the ifb the earpiece and 127 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,520 Speaker 4: moments like that. You know, someone in my position may 128 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,680 Speaker 4: not realize, like what value that has for you as 129 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 4: a quarterback. You've come out of the game, You're listening 130 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 4: to the play call. How does that keep you engaged? 131 00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 4: And what did you learn in all those series after 132 00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:33,080 Speaker 4: your one series in terms of watching Bailey, watching Joe, 133 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 4: listening to the play call seeing the plays evolved. 134 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:38,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's huge.

You know, a little 137 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 3: things like that, just you know, first time being you 138 00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 3: know in the hubb out in the real game, you 139 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,320 Speaker 3: don't want to fumble your words or you're glad to 140 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 3: do any of that tonight. But uh, like I say, 141 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 3: it's huge. You know, get an opportunity to hear the 142 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:53,880 Speaker 3: play call, know what's going on, kind of play the 143 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,039 Speaker 3: game from the sideline, or you know, have a look 144 00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,680 Speaker 3: and if you know Bailey or Joe tonight or even 145 00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 3: the receivers I told the most seriously night, you know 146 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: one of the routes I knew to play before and 147 00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 3: it's like you had a good look and I think 148 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 3: he won too many steps and just mess up the time. 149 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 3: And so just a little things like that where you 150 00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 3: can kind of know what's coming.
