1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,240
Speaker 1: If the preseason goal the way you expected it to go.

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,960
Speaker 1: Um yeah. I think we um came together and just

3
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: played well towards the end. But it's the preseason. We

4
00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:13,399
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do. And it's cool

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: because I know last year a lot of guys obviously

6
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:18,119
Speaker 1: didn't get to have that experience as a rookie, and

7
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,600
Speaker 1: I think it's it's great regardless of even how you play,

8
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: just getting a chance to be out there with your

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,639
Speaker 1: team and learning your teammates and watching how the older

10
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:28,120
Speaker 1: guys do it. I think that's the best thing you

11
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:32,400
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, so just watching them was was really beneficial,

12
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,479
Speaker 1: and then getting the experience in the games much more comfortable.

13
00:00:35,520 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: Are you now compared to a month ago? Um yeah,

14
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: I think all of us are more comfortable. You get

15
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: live reps with the new team, and you work on

16
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: the things that you want to work on each week.

17
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 1: But you know, as as every week goes by, you

18
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: just try to pick one thing to work on. And

19
00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 1: I think we have a lot to work on, and

20
00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:54,680
Speaker 1: it's good because we have a little bit of time.

21
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,279
Speaker 1: But we're kind of just going to move on from

22
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,120
Speaker 1: the from the preseason and take it for what it's

23
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:01,959
Speaker 1: worth and just keep pushing forward because you move on

24
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: to the regular season. What is your expectation on what

25
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: your role will be for the opener? Um, I mean

26
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 1: right now, just like I always say, I'm focused on today. Um.

27
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:14,720
Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of stuff I can clean up. Um,

28
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: I hold the ball a little too long at some

29
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 1: points today, But I'll work on that, and you know,

30
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: when the next day comes around, I'll watch the film

31
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: and figure out what I need to do better. But

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 1: I'm here to play any role that I can play

33
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: and help helping any way I can, and I'm gonna

34
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: be ready whenever my time comes. So, like I said,

35
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,479
Speaker 1: we got work to do and we'll get the things

36
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:39,200
Speaker 1: fixed and then we'll just keep rolling. Couple a couple

37
00:01:39,240 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: of back shoulder throws to guys today, I'll comfortable you're

38
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: starting to get with the receivers and guys out there. Yeah.

39
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: I think that's um something that's good to have in

40
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 1: your back pocket. But UM, you don't have to do

41
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,880
Speaker 1: it every time, So you need to just figure out

42
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: when to do it and when the right time to

43
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: do it is. And UM, that's kind of just a

44
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: fuel thing with the quarterback and the wide receiver, running

45
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 1: backs for tie ends. You can do it to anybody

46
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 1: who's catching the ball. So, um, I think we've worked

47
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: on them in practice too, which helps, and we do

48
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: them a little different. And I think it's it's good

49
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: to just get him in live games so they can

50
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:13,800
Speaker 1: get a fuel for him. I don't know if you

51
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 1: saw the clip, but Cam was pretty determined on the

52
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: sideline to get that from you. Yeah I saw he

53
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: showed me the video or whatever. Um, yeah I didn't.

54
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: I didn't hear him or see him. And then I

55
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: was like, oh, I bet it. But that's Cam for you.

56
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,919
Speaker 1: He's happy and he's a great teammate. So I'm happy

57
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,960
Speaker 1: to be in the same room as him and just

58
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: learn from him because he's a great dude. The last,

59
00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: you know, last practice on Thursday, and then that tonight,

60
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 1: Cam's obviously been the first quarterback out. Are you Are

61
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,360
Speaker 1: you still preparing as though you could potentially be the

62
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,399
Speaker 1: starter or yeah, dude, where you'll swat in the mat? Yeah?

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: I think just I've always, um, you know, I learned

64
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 1: at a young age just prepared like the starter. You know,

65
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: you don't have to be the starter, but prepare getting

66
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,920
Speaker 1: your routine, and that's something UM coach talked about today.

67
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: It was just hey, we're gonna, you know, be in

68
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: the stadium again. Just getting your routine, you know, And

69
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,359
Speaker 1: that's kind of what I did. Just eat the same

70
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: thing I eat every game day, kind of go about

71
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: my business how I would, and then you kind of

72
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: get into your routine. And that's how you can get

73
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:15,360
Speaker 1: into a flow. I think the older guys do a

74
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: good job of it, and the young guys, I think

75
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: each week try different things to just try and getting

76
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,600
Speaker 1: a good routine and hopefully when the season comes around,

77
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: you know, which is now the real games, we can

78
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: adjust our schedule again and find out what works for us.

79
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: Why did you see on the touchdown as Zober? Yeah

80
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: it was a good, good catch. I had plenty of

81
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:38,480
Speaker 1: time to throw it. Yeah, you did a good job

82
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: holding onto the ball and they came back. We ran

83
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: it again and I took the hitch. So it just

84
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: you gotta just read your keys and stick to your

85
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: rules and players will come like that. So it's pretty

86
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: much just focused on that. Do you think you've played

87
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 1: well enough to be the star? What do you say?

88
00:03:55,680 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: Do you think you've played well enough to be the starter.

89
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: I mean, I've got a lot of opportunities to play,

90
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: and I can improve on everything that I want to

91
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:11,320
Speaker 1: improve on. So I think just learning from Hoyer, Cam, Jarry,

92
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:14,360
Speaker 1: anybody I can, and just listening to Josh and his coaching.

93
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: There's a lot of work to do, but I think

94
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: I've made progress. But honestly, it's just the only thing

95
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,040
Speaker 1: that matters is today and then tomorrow. Focus on tomorrow.

96
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: But I think the past is the past and we're

97
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: kind of moving on to the new new season here.

98
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: You've talked about the veterans, and you've talked about Cam,

99
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 1: and you've talked about for year and even Jack. What

100
00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,400
Speaker 1: has it been like learning from these guys as this

101
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,840
Speaker 1: processes are going forward, plus with all of us asking

102
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 1: you questions about you know, people want to be the

103
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: starter or possibly being the starter. I think it's been good.

104
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 1: I mean, there's no like bad business in our quarterback room.

105
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: We're all trying to help each other. And obviously I

106
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:51,720
Speaker 1: played in college last year and I've never played in

107
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: the NFL, so I'm here to learn from Josh, from Cam,

108
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: from Hoyer, from everybody. So they've seen a lot of football,

109
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: whether they played or with a backup or whatever. But

110
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: they've seen NFL football and they've been a great help

111
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: to me, and I hope that I can help them

112
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: whenever they ask for it. If I see something or

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: if I have to do something for them, I'll do

114
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 1: it because I'm trying to be a great teammate. So

115
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: it'll it'll play out how it's supposed to. Mac, there

116
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 1: was a moment at the end of the game where

117
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: you were standing next to Cam and it looked like

118
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: he was making you laugh. What a little moments like

119
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: when it's just YouTube, it's great. I think we just

120
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,200
Speaker 1: we just have good conversations and he's like a big

121
00:05:30,200 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: mentor for me, so at the same time, we can

122
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,599
Speaker 1: still be you know, have fun kind of just talking.

123
00:05:36,680 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: You know, we're human, so we're not going to be

124
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,719
Speaker 1: too serious all the time. But he's a funny guy

125
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,400
Speaker 1: and yeah, he's got some good jokes. So I just

126
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: like to have the good conversation with him. All right. Thanks,
