1 00:00:03,040 --> 00:00:06,160 Speaker 1: Like this kind of mess with your preparation to get fully. 2 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:07,040 Speaker 2: Ready for the next upon it. 3 00:00:08,280 --> 00:00:09,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you sort of just got a you 4 00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 3: know jam pack you know, installs and and your days 5 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:17,639 Speaker 3: all like together. You got two days really, you know 6 00:00:17,680 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 3: for us really today you do you know your base 7 00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:24,560 Speaker 3: first and second down and third down, put it all together, 8 00:00:24,760 --> 00:00:27,600 Speaker 3: go through you know a couple of walkthroughs and meetings 9 00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:31,480 Speaker 3: and and yeah you're just trying to pack everything in 10 00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:33,159 Speaker 3: within a couple of days and then being able to 11 00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 3: get your body right to play on Thursday. So it's different. 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:41,080 Speaker 3: The preparation is just it's it's more intense, you know, 13 00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,000 Speaker 3: for both teams. You don't get you know, four or 14 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: five days of preparation to you know, lengthen everything out. 15 00:00:47,760 --> 00:00:49,440 Speaker 3: You have two days put it all together and roll. 16 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,120 Speaker 4: So this time for you going through without having to deal. 17 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,920 Speaker 3: With broken rims, yeah a lot better, i'd say, you know, 18 00:00:57,080 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: just you know not obviously, yes, treat treating my body 19 00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,040 Speaker 3: and everything, making sure I feel fresh for Thursday. But yeah, 20 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 3: last year the main focus was you know, will I 21 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:10,200 Speaker 3: be able to throw, you know come Thursday. Obviously I 22 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 3: didn't throw a ball for you know, four days or 23 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:16,759 Speaker 3: three days whatever it was up until the game game day. 24 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:19,200 Speaker 3: So now it's like, all right, now I can hone 25 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: into the plays, the details of the operations of the offense, 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,240 Speaker 3: all that stuff, not worrying about the broken rib. 27 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,440 Speaker 1: Is there a point in that game where you ever 28 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: didn't feel pain or felt comfortable or just. 29 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,920 Speaker 3: I would say, yeah, I was definitely like not comfortable, 30 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 3: you know, the whole the whole game for four quarters. 31 00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,759 Speaker 3: I felt it for sure, But yeah, we were able 32 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,399 Speaker 3: to pull it out. 33 00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:45,520 Speaker 1: So the lines of preparation, Kyle said last year, he 34 00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: didn't have any time to treat you with kid gloves 35 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,960 Speaker 1: or kind of ease you into things. Now that you've 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: had an offseason, I'll be at one mark by injury 37 00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: and having to deal with reapping stuff. How much more 38 00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,200 Speaker 1: is he putting on your plate from compared to where 39 00:01:58,360 --> 00:01:58,880 Speaker 1: you started. 40 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like, you know, last year we were 41 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 3: rolling as a team. You know, Jimmy was doing great, 42 00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,080 Speaker 3: and you know he was doing what he did with 43 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 3: Jimmy and what he's always done with Jimmy, just in 44 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 3: terms of in terms of like the install how our 45 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 3: offense looked, what plays we're gonna run, and so once 46 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 3: you know I got in, it was really the same. 47 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,840 Speaker 3: It was like, we're gonna continue to roll and see, 48 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 3: you know how I do with that. And so moving 49 00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,120 Speaker 3: into this year, honestly, it's been i'd say fairly similar. 50 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 3: Like he knows I can, you know, handle what he's 51 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: had with Jimmy the last couple of years and what 52 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 3: we did last year. Nothing really changed, and so that's 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 3: really how it's been this year. You know, there hasn't 54 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: been a drastic change of how we're gonna add more 55 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: to his plate since he's playing more or anything like that. 56 00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 3: It's it's been about the same. That's how this offense 57 00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 3: has rolled, and that's how we've done it. 58 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,280 Speaker 1: So how were you able to just roll into it 59 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:54,400 Speaker 1: last year? What about your background? What about yourself personally 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: allows you to handle that kind of responsibility from the 61 00:02:58,240 --> 00:02:58,600 Speaker 1: gig game? 62 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,239 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel like I'm I mean the four years obviously, 63 00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 3: I always say of playing the you know, the the 64 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 3: day to day, week to week basis of studying and 65 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:08,919 Speaker 3: how to prepare and all that kind of stuff, and 66 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:12,040 Speaker 3: then obviously last year being the backup, knowing that I 67 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:14,880 Speaker 3: probably only get you know, one opportunity at this thing. 68 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,440 Speaker 3: If I do get an opportunity, just with the circumstances 69 00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:19,920 Speaker 3: of being drafted last and and all that kind of things. 70 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,360 Speaker 3: So for me, it was always like, you know, be 71 00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 3: ready for it. And you know, I studied and prepared 72 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 3: every single week as if I was starting, and when 73 00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,480 Speaker 3: I ended up going in, I was I was ready 74 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 3: for the opportunity. So nothing has changed since that touchdown drive. 75 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 4: Just before halftime you had that twenty yard complition to 76 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:41,240 Speaker 4: Juan over the middle. It was back to you when 77 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 4: you let it go and get a guy coming on. 78 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,520 Speaker 4: Let is that you type of timing and trust in 79 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 4: this offense. I assume you would have made you made 80 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 4: similar type throws last year. But is that more comfortable 81 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,480 Speaker 4: now for you or just more instinctual. 82 00:03:55,920 --> 00:04:00,120 Speaker 3: And naturally probably you know, a combination of both. You know, 83 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 3: obviously the landmarks, the routes, the concepts. I feel like 84 00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 3: I have a better grasp of, you know, where the 85 00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:08,600 Speaker 3: guys are supposed to be. Obviously a year under our 86 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,640 Speaker 3: belt of you know, experience together, you know, with Ba Deebo, 87 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 3: Juwan George, you know, sort of knowing and understanding their 88 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 3: cuts stuff like that. It matters. But also you know, 89 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 3: in the heat of the moment there's a guy coming 90 00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:23,600 Speaker 3: through the B gap untouched and I have to drift 91 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:25,480 Speaker 3: a little bit, and I know and trust Juwan is 92 00:04:25,520 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 3: going to be you know, twelve to fourteen yards breaking 93 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: in at this angle. Like it's all I feel like, 94 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 3: just it's both. It's a combination of both. To answer 95 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 3: your question, so. 96 00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,840 Speaker 4: It sounds easy like just trust it, But I mean 97 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,839 Speaker 4: as a quarterback, sometimes it's like, oh crap, you know 98 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 4: he's not looking at me. 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,200 Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Yeah, that's real. Yeah, the anticipation, the trust, 100 00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 3: you know, it's real. It's part of this position. It's 101 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,440 Speaker 3: part of football. You know, you can't always throw when 102 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 3: a guy breaks and he's wide open. That's just not 103 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 3: how the league works. You know, windows close fast, and uh, 104 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 3: you have to be on point. You have to anticipate, 105 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 3: you know, guys and where they're supposed to be, per coverage, 106 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: per concept. So that's something that you know, we work 107 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:10,680 Speaker 3: on and we we take very seriously here. You know, 108 00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 3: it's part of our offense, being able to throw before 109 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:13,360 Speaker 3: guys break and whatnot. 110 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:18,160 Speaker 2: So was a coaching point made didn't win the clock 111 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,880 Speaker 2: down to one second, that maybe you should have thrown 112 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 2: the ball lower or faster into the ground rather than 113 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:25,320 Speaker 2: just lofted. 114 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:28,799 Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, Kyle had told me, you know before, 115 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 3: like hey, it's it's touchdown or throw it away, you know, 116 00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 3: you know, we want to have some time on the 117 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,040 Speaker 3: clock to but at least think about going forward on 118 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:37,720 Speaker 3: the one again or kick a field, go and get 119 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: some points. That was what was said to me in 120 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,919 Speaker 3: the moments. You know, I was going to the flat, 121 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 3: wasn't there, and I was like, maybe she should run. 122 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 3: But in my head, I was like, now I got 123 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 3: to get this ball out. So could I have done 124 00:05:48,839 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 3: it quicker? For sure? But I understood, you know how 125 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 3: much time we had on the clock and we were 126 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: good enough to have one more playing us. 127 00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 4: Can you describe the energy and juice you get even 128 00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 4: if your body maybe is it physically there that you 129 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,839 Speaker 4: can use to your advantage on a Thursday night and 130 00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:04,520 Speaker 4: or a short week. 131 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, obviously, I feel like as a quarterback, 132 00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:10,080 Speaker 3: whether you're heard or not, like you just got to 133 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 3: go in do your job. You gotta do your part 134 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,279 Speaker 3: for the offense. You know, you get the ball every snap. 135 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 3: You know, you got to either make sure you're in 136 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: the right play, hit the guys that are open. But 137 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 3: at the end of the day, it's like, man, how 138 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,760 Speaker 3: can you create momentum and juice for your team to 139 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 3: to get first down so to get points up on 140 00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 3: the board, and to create momentum for your whole team 141 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 3: as a whole defense to get some stops. You know, 142 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 3: let's go get some points on the board and then win. 143 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: You know. So, whether you're heard or not, I feel 144 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 3: like there's always a way to create some momentum and 145 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 3: juice for your team. And last year, I feel like 146 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 3: when we played Seattle, you know, I was I was 147 00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,279 Speaker 3: able to learn that that lesson pretty quick, you know, 148 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: just in terms of you know, I wasn't feeling great, 149 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 3: but how to do it? It takes to win, especially 150 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 3: late in the season, and every game is crucial for us. 151 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,280 Speaker 5: So as far as some of those you know, deep 152 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,880 Speaker 5: throws you missed that you obviously won't pack, how do 153 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:01,599 Speaker 5: you sort of you know, assess and self correct without 154 00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 5: being you know, hypercritical of yourself and keeping your confidence. 155 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously, the as a quarterback you want to play 156 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 3: perfect is that you know, you know, a real thing 157 00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: like can you play perfect? I don't know, you know, 158 00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,920 Speaker 3: you're gonna mess up obviously, but for myself, it's like, man, 159 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 3: I hold myself to a standard. This whole offense, this 160 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,680 Speaker 3: team holds ourselves to a certain standard, and so for me, 161 00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 3: it's like, man, I gotta watch that the film, learn 162 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,040 Speaker 3: from it, get out of practice and rep it, you know, 163 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 3: rep it, rep it to you know, build that confidence 164 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,000 Speaker 3: again that hey, we can hit those those shots and 165 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 3: those opportunities we've done in the past, and it's something 166 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,760 Speaker 3: that you know, you learn from but not dwell on, 167 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 3: and I'll let it affect your game moving forward. So 168 00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: that's where I'm at with that, and I'm excited to 169 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 3: get going for Thursday. THANKSSS.
