1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,360
Speaker 1: I know a lot of these starters didn't play a

2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: lot in preseason, some didn't play at all. How do

3
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: you think that impacts your preparation for the season, or

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,719
Speaker 1: let me rephrase that, how do you know when you're ready?

5
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 1: I guess you know when when you don't play a

6
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,000
Speaker 1: time in preseason? Do you feel like you're ready to roll?

7
00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:19,920
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm ready to roll. I gotta probably

8
00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:22,919
Speaker 1: about fifteen plays in that Minnesota game, and that's the

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: biggest transition, just tackling, tackling at full speed, tackling in

10
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:28,720
Speaker 1: the open space. So, I mean, every every man's got

11
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: their individual responsibility to get themselves ready for week one.

12
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: So whether that's extra stuff after practice or just how

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:37,080
Speaker 1: you practice and how you fit up every player just

14
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: to make sure you're ready to tackle Zach Keifford, Bobby,

15
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: What are the next two weeks going to be? Like?

16
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,920
Speaker 1: This is a new thing for you guys, where there's

17
00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,599
Speaker 1: no fourth preseason game. You've got all this extra time.

18
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:50,400
Speaker 1: Does it feel like you're ready to play next Sunday?

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 1: Do you guys need the extra time to feel like

20
00:00:53,040 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 1: it forever until you guys actually play? Yeah, I mean

21
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: two weeks. I mean time's ticking. I know what all excited,

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,960
Speaker 1: But I think we got a good process set up.

23
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna hit it hard in practice this week,

24
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: take some days off, and just really get acclimated to

25
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: our in season schedules. So next week we can just

26
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:13,840
Speaker 1: show up and it's business as usual. JJ, Bobby, how

27
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: much prepper you're doing? Are you going to do for

28
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,440
Speaker 1: Seattle this week? Because Coatrock talked a little bit about,

29
00:01:18,560 --> 00:01:20,960
Speaker 1: you know, not wanting to overload you guys with this

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: two week break. Yeah, watch film, kind of ease into it.

31
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,120
Speaker 1: You don't want anything to get stale. You kind of

32
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: wanted to be fresh and you want to see it

33
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: live on your feet in those practices. So we'll watch

34
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: a little film this week, but I think we'll just

35
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: keep it ones on ones playing regular football until next

36
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: week and then truly get into that week week preparation. Unrelated,

37
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:42,800
Speaker 1: what did you see from Grover Stewart in training camp

38
00:01:42,840 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: this year? And like how much of a benefit is

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: he to you as a linebacker. He's a stalwart. You

40
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: can't single block that guy or he's making a tackle.

41
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: And I know Groves an athlete, and he showed he's

42
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 1: got ball skills, so you know he fits he fits

43
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 1: it great in our defense. Joel ericson Bobby, Yeah, a

44
00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 1: lot of I think he led the team in interceptions

45
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: are in camp. Let's let's doing the key for you

46
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 1: and just making more of those plays. Yeah, truly, just

47
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: being one hundred percent mentally on my assignment and just

48
00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: trusting my fundamentals, my techniques, knowing where I fit in

49
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,920
Speaker 1: the scheme, and then just allow myself to play with

50
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 1: play with instincts. Believe it. Ray Bobbie, I know you

51
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: said you guys aren't fully focusing your efforts in Seattle

52
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:34,960
Speaker 1: just yet to not get stale, but something that can

53
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,119
Speaker 1: motivate you. You guys haven't won a season opener at

54
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: home since twenty thirteen. How much would it mean for

55
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: you guys to maybe just shake that monkey off your

56
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: back this year? That'd be incredible. And you know, our

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: our our owner, Jimursa, he stressed that to us two.

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: You know, we gotta win the opener, Gotta win the opener.

59
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,520
Speaker 1: Really kicked the season off with great momentum, so that's

60
00:02:55,680 --> 00:02:57,639
Speaker 1: a big emphasis for us. Obviously, it's a big blow

61
00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,519
Speaker 1: and a lot of fronts the tis not there for

62
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: a while out, there was already pressure on you in

63
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: year three, after what you've been through the first two years.

64
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: How do you approach it now knowing the team needs

65
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: you more than even before. Yeah, I mean, obviously we

66
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: know as a receiver group, with our number one guy

67
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: being out, we all have to step up. Um, you know,

68
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: so I approach it the same. Um, I kind of

69
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: just being myself like myself in year three going through

70
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: what I went through, Like, I've already known that I

71
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:29,600
Speaker 1: needed to step up and I needed to bring you

72
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: know what I know I can bring to this team. Um,

73
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: and obviously you know what t by being out, we

74
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 1: know as an entire group that we need to step up.

75
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: So I think, I mean, I approach it the same

76
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: way I was approaching the season already even older. Hey Paris, UM,

77
00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:48,440
Speaker 1: I know this. Sometimes not a lot of hype about

78
00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: you guys as a group, you know, just from outside perspectives.

79
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: But but you guys do seem to have a lot

80
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: of depth. Do you feel like, I don't want to

81
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: say this is a good thing, I'm not gonna say that,

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: but this is an opportunit community. Do you think for

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 1: your depth to to show because other guy's gonna have

84
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 1: As you said, it's not just you and Pitt. Everybody's

85
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to kind of tip in here. Yeah. Um,

86
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think he used the word opportunity.

87
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we're all aware of the loss. Um.

88
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,240
Speaker 1: We all feel for Ty, and we all want him

89
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: to get as healthy, get back as healthy as he can,

90
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: fast as he can. But it's definitely an opportunity, is

91
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: an opportunity for young guys to step up and make plays. Um,

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: because we all got to carry that low. You know,

93
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: that's that's a big load, that's a big loss. We

94
00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:39,080
Speaker 1: all got to cry that little for sure. Joel Eriksons,

95
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 1: what have you seen Michael Pittman a second year? Um,

96
00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: Pitt has made UM a really really huge jump. Obviously.

97
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: You know I wasn't around for a lot for a

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: lot last year. You know, I was kind of watching

99
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: from the sides. Um. But Pit's a he's a smart guy.

100
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:55,840
Speaker 1: Man Like he he hops on the field and he

101
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: knows exactly what he's doing. Um. You know, he his

102
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:01,720
Speaker 1: vision is all always you know, just elevated. He sees

103
00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 1: things before they happen. Uh. Pitt is just a really

104
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: a really smart player, and I think that's the biggest

105
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:12,440
Speaker 1: thing that I've seen from George Bremer Parish out almost

106
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: every day. How do you feel physically coming out of

107
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:19,479
Speaker 1: this und healthy? Uh? You know I said that would

108
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: have smile on my face. Um. You know that was

109
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:23,640
Speaker 1: my number one goal to get through this camp as

110
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:26,160
Speaker 1: healthy as I could. Um. You know it's a blessing man,

111
00:05:26,200 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 1: all glory to God. But I feel great. J J

112
00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:34,920
Speaker 1: and Paris, what have you come to appreciate about Zach

113
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Pascal over the years you guys have been together now, yeah, Um,

114
00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: I mean you can you can look at the film. Man,

115
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:44,520
Speaker 1: Zach does it all. Um. You know, he's not a

116
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: one trick pony. He does everything in his offense. I

117
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: think that's what makes him so valuable. But far aside

118
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: from that, man, just his leadership. Um. And you know

119
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 1: how how he approaches every day man, he he really

120
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: he really helps us out, um as a as a whole,

121
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 1: you know, just from top to bottom. Like he's always

122
00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: coaching guys up man, asking him, asking guys if they

123
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: need anything, you know, telling guys about different coverages of

124
00:06:06,480 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 1: what he sees on the field. Um. And I think

125
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: that's something that goes unnoticed about Zach, you know, because

126
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: you don't you don't see that one of the day

127
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: basis off from the outside looking in. But his leadership

128
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: is strong and I really appreciate him for Yeah, I

129
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,560
Speaker 1: know Frank's Frank's offense is complicated. I know he wants

130
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: you guys to play all the positions. What do you

131
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of tell the younger guys, you know, guys like

132
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:29,720
Speaker 1: Mike Strong who are trying to trying to learn this

133
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: offense very very quickly, Like, what's your advice in terms

134
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: of trying to pick everything up? Yeah? Um, obviously, um,

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: you know, everything comes with reps um, you know, but

136
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,839
Speaker 1: as a young guy, you're not necessarily getting all those reps.

137
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: So the biggest thing, you know, for me when I

138
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: came in, you know, I was just taking mental reps,

139
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, just being locked inn or every single play uh,

140
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: you know at practice, um, and then going back and

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 1: watching the film, you know, and taking those reps as

142
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: if I was in every single position, um, and just

143
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:56,640
Speaker 1: just being in the playbook. Man, No, I stop. You know, Uh,

144
00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 1: once you put the effort in time into it, man,

145
00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: you get it down and it comes easy. We'll go

146
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 1: last question, Layer Arris a couple of updates that we

147
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:14,080
Speaker 1: got from coach Raich. Of course injury to Sam Ellinger

148
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 1: and then also that um, Carson Wentz were back in team.

149
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 1: When you guys go on Monday's practice, that means Jacob

150
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: moves into that backup quarterback spot. Although Carson's making those

151
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: strides for being ready for week one, Jacob's the backup.

152
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: Now with the situation, where's your confidence level with Jacob

153
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 1: Eason given the amount of time that you guys had

154
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: to work together through training camp in the preseason. Yeah, Um,

155
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: I have all the rust in the world and Jacob.

156
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: I mean we we all everybody on his call has

157
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,320
Speaker 1: seen Jacob makes strides. Um, you know from preseason one

158
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: to preseason three. Um, you know, I can honestly say, man,

159
00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:49,560
Speaker 1: he stepped up in a big way with Carson being out,

160
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: and just you know, you can tell he's seeing things faster,

161
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 1: he's playing faster, He's knows what he's doing the way

162
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 1: he's calling making calls in the huddle, but he's making chicks. Um,

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:02,240
Speaker 1: you know, I really seen Jacob get better throughout camp

164
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 1: and I think we can all attest to that. So confidence,

165
00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, very high. Hey, Zach with the news about

166
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 1: t y Um, what do you guys think as a

167
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 1: receiver Cord just in terms of stepping up and filling

168
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: that void? UM, I mean with unfortunately, with the news

169
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: like that, I mean, you don't want to see your

170
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: top guy go down. But um, but everybody in that room,

171
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,640
Speaker 1: everybody got to, you know, add a little more to

172
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 1: the play to help um pick up that whole UM.

173
00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,240
Speaker 1: Wishing him the best. Um, He'll be around still he's

174
00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:35,839
Speaker 1: still a leader of our group, still helping us out. Um,

175
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 1: But everybody, like I said, has to pick up pieces

176
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 1: to help feel it. Ever, because you never want to

177
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:48,320
Speaker 1: see a top guy go down like that, Steven more Zac,

178
00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: I know that the coaches talk a lot about your

179
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,439
Speaker 1: ability to play all the different spots on the field,

180
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: and you know, does that make you valuable? Do you

181
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:01,319
Speaker 1: feel like in a situation like like that's where somebody's down,

182
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: guy like Tebi who does move around? Um, I saying

183
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,319
Speaker 1: you can fill his shoes, surely, but but do you

184
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: feel like you can play that role to some extent? Um?

185
00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: I try not to, you know, like, uh, like you know,

186
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: see if think about it, whether or not I can

187
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: do his job or you know somebody else can do

188
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: his job. Is just everybody collectively in that group just

189
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,600
Speaker 1: has to pick up that piece, um and just continue

190
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,440
Speaker 1: to ground it out. Um. You know, we gotta got down.

191
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: Somebody got to step up and make a play or

192
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,520
Speaker 1: make plays. And that's just how a group, you know,

193
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 1: that's just how a group fees um when we believe

194
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: when we're on the field, we're the best position, best

195
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 1: players on that field. So we just gotta all pick

196
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: up pieces to help, you know, feel that missing role.

197
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: Olivia Red Zach, I know you interact with the fans

198
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 1: more than most too, So how excited are you to

199
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,760
Speaker 1: open this season at home now that you can actually

200
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: kind of turn your attention to your home opener and

201
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: season opener. I'm very excited. Um. That's honestly one of

202
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 1: my favorite parts of the game, you know, before the

203
00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 1: game is interacting with the fans playing catch. Um. It's fun,

204
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: it's entertaining, um, and I just you know, I enjoy

205
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 1: seeing their reaction from just from just someone playing catch

206
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 1: with them. UM. So I'm very excited to be back

207
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 1: back home and Lucas Odd on the first week so

208
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: we can keep that rolling. J J. Zach we were

209
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 1: just talking to Paris and he mentioned your your leadership

210
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: being uh, you know something that he's really come to

211
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: appreciate about you. Where does that come from? Um, you know,

212
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,040
Speaker 1: your your leadership skills. I mean, I feel like just

213
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,800
Speaker 1: going through the process that I had to go go through. UM,

214
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: when I see certain things or if I hear certain things,

215
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 1: you know, I'll try to help him out so that,

216
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,559
Speaker 1: you know, he may not make the mistake again. Or

217
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 1: I feel like that's just me just in general, because

218
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: even in the offseason, when I'm training and there's kids

219
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: outside watching, you know, they may come up and ask

220
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of pointers, and I have no problem

221
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: of you know, giving out a point information out of

222
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,440
Speaker 1: what I know to help somebody, to help somebody else.

223
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: So I think that's just something that's been instill with

224
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: me and something that I've learned from vets in the

225
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 1: league as well, who helped me come along the way

226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:32,439
Speaker 1: as well. George bremer Zach sort of following up on that, Uh,

227
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,680
Speaker 1: you know, your whole career has been about taking advantage

228
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: of opportunities, and you know, situations like this, can you

229
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:40,679
Speaker 1: help the young guys now with t y how in

230
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 1: the opportunity that they have at this Yeah, I mean

231
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:48,280
Speaker 1: I feel like a lot of the guys learn better

232
00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: through the reps, you know, through the playing time. I mean,

233
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: just just getting those reps now. Now, now there's another

234
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:58,480
Speaker 1: guy that can get extra reps um with Ty being

235
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:02,079
Speaker 1: out and just helping him, you know, uh, game more

236
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: confidence being out there, you know, you know, with when

237
00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 1: t was, with Ty playing, a lot of guys don't

238
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: see those type of reps with the ones, and now

239
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,480
Speaker 1: that you know, unfortunately this injury, a lot of guys

240
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,760
Speaker 1: can't see those reps and just you know, coaching them

241
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: up as they take these reps, you know, throughout the game,

242
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: playing throughout the week, and just get them more comfortable

243
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: so that come game time, everybody. Mike Chappell, Jack, we've

244
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: talked about just before, and you talk about being a

245
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,839
Speaker 1: leader with cuts coming up, the way that you entered

246
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: the league and had had to just sort of make

247
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: a name and get your foot in the door. Do

248
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: you feel the need to tell these young guys that

249
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 1: even if you're not a first round pickers eye round pick,

250
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:45,199
Speaker 1: work your butt off and making hard to cut you.

251
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: How do you deal with your teammates like that? Well,

252
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, UM, what I would tell people was

253
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: just you know, play with confidence, don't let you know adversity,

254
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: change whole mindset on what you on what you had

255
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: plans on doing. Um. Honestly, I feel like being undrafted,

256
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: not getting drafted was a blessing because it taught me

257
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,240
Speaker 1: how to work for what I for what I got. UM.

258
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:14,720
Speaker 1: You see it around the league sometimes, you know, guys

259
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: get drafted and then I don't know if they feel

260
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: like they made it or um, you know the money,

261
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,040
Speaker 1: you feel like they they made it. Now I'm good.

262
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,120
Speaker 1: But I feel like this whole team, not just me,

263
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:27,800
Speaker 1: but this whole team has that mentality of we're gonna

264
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:30,880
Speaker 1: work for what we you know, what we gotta get, um,

265
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: and it takes whatever it takes. So UM, that's just

266
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: something that's just always gonna stick with me. UM. And

267
00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,200
Speaker 1: that's just any advice for anybody that's, you know, coming

268
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: up in this you know we got final cuts coming

269
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: up and you know, trying to make it in the league.

270
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: Just continue to play with confidence and keep pushing. You

271
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: got a lot of examples yourself, Jack Doyle, MO. I

272
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot of guys playing major roles that

273
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,800
Speaker 1: we're drafted right, and that just shows that, you know,

274
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 1: whatever battles that they had to overcome may not be

275
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:05,439
Speaker 1: the same battles that I had to overcome, but you know,

276
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,599
Speaker 1: we all as a whole team had to overcome some

277
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: type of battles in our personal personal lot to get

278
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:12,440
Speaker 1: to where we had today, and that just helps us

279
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: grow closer and closer together and continue to fight for

280
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: the championship. Thank Shure. And last question, Layer Zach, It's

281
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 1: nothing new for you to adapt to different quarterbacks and

282
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: the tenure that you've had here with the Colts. But

283
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 1: with having these two weeks, of course, Carson's making progress,

284
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: going to be in team on Monday, you know that

285
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: you have Jacob there as the backup. How do you

286
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: use this time to prepare for either one of those

287
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: scenarios so that no matter what happens for these next

288
00:14:40,960 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: two weeks, whichever guy is up there under center week one,

289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: you guys are ready. Well, it was I look at

290
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: it like this, you know, with Carson's injury, it was

291
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: great for Easton to be able to come up and

292
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,840
Speaker 1: get all those reps and you know, prepare himself for

293
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: you know, a game situation and get ready and battle

294
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: it out through camp. You know, camp tough. So everybody

295
00:15:00,840 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: battling out. It was good. Um now seeing cars and

296
00:15:03,400 --> 00:15:06,440
Speaker 1: coming back and getting his footback in the door, getting

297
00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: his groove back. Um, it's just you know, it's just

298
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: rolling with the punches. I guess, you know what, whatever

299
00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: whatever was to make happen as a as a receiver group,

300
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 1: as the rest of the team, you gotta do whatever

301
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: it takes to, you know, to go get that W

302
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: in the first game. Um, So whoever's out there, you know,

303
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: we just got to play to the best of our

304
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: ability to you know, we get this W as a

305
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: whole
