1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,280
Speaker 1: I ask you the same question now that he's standing

2
00:00:02,320 --> 00:00:04,720
Speaker 1: right behind you, which I just asked Kobe about you,

3
00:00:04,760 --> 00:00:05,760
Speaker 1: and now I feel like I have to ask you

4
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 1: about Jakobe if he's standing right there too.

5
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,400
Speaker 2: Oh, I think he left, But okay, I mean it's

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 2: been it's been great to have Jacobe around. You know,

7
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: we have't been around each other for what a month now,

8
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,720
Speaker 2: but I know I've learned a lot of things from him,

9
00:00:17,880 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: especially in this offense.

10
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:19,840
Speaker 3: He was in it for one year.

11
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 2: Just picking his brain as far as the footwork stuff,

12
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 2: how he you know, reads certain concepts and things like that.

13
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm always picking his brain. I'll probably get annoying, but

14
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep doing it. But you know, he's g

15
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 2: It's good to have a guy like that in the room,

16
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:33,680
Speaker 2: that's played a lot, that's been around the league for

17
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:37,440
Speaker 2: a long time. So it's been great. Pictures signed to Kobe,

18
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,320
Speaker 2: they draft the street Combs. A lot of people are like,

19
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:41,280
Speaker 2: you know, what scoring all the bailis after?

20
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 3: Just what's the off season's been like for you and

21
00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 3: sort what's your approach? It's all these incoming changes in

22
00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,840
Speaker 3: QBS in your room. No, I mean, I've been having

23
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,839
Speaker 3: fun yeah, I'm not ch. You know, they bring in

24
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 3: guys every year.

25
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,320
Speaker 2: Obviously they want everybody to compete, and that's what they've

26
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:56,720
Speaker 2: been telling us this entire time, that everybody's gonna get opportunity,

27
00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: everybody's to compete. It's just like Mao says, it depends

28
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 2: on what you do with that opportunity. So, as far

29
00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:04,640
Speaker 2: as I speak for the QB Room, I mean, we're

30
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,920
Speaker 2: a close knit group so far. You know, we've only

31
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 2: been together for a few weeks, but you know, everybody

32
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 2: likes each other. Everbody's getting along, everybody's helping each other.

33
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 2: If Drake has a question, or if Joe has a question,

34
00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:15,959
Speaker 2: I have a question, everybody's there to help.

35
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,320
Speaker 3: And you know Chacobe has questions on me.

36
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: I don't know, but uh, everybody's there to help each

37
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 2: other out.

38
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 1: The situation that could potentially be a little bit off great,

39
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: did you send that at all?

40
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:27,920
Speaker 3: Like, do you feel that at all?

41
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess you could say it's awkward, probably

42
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 2: like the first few times you meet each other, cause

43
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 2: you don't really know each other yet, But once you

44
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: get to know each other, you know, you understand that

45
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: everybody has the same common goal and that's the win games. Obviously,

46
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: we all wanna go out there, we all wanna be

47
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback, we all wanna be the starter. But there's

48
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: only one guy that can go out there, and all

49
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 2: of us that aren't out there gonna help that guy

50
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 2: no matter what.

51
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: Earlier and maybe p like look forward like it seems

52
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,280
Speaker 1: like a big thing. I'm just curious, you know, have

53
00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:57,000
Speaker 1: you done that before?

54
00:01:57,040 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 3: Like is that what you've always done?

55
00:01:58,160 --> 00:01:59,800
Speaker 1: And how does it kind of help you guys?

56
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I mean obviously it helps.

57
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 2: The better you get your footwork down, the more you know,

58
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 2: the better timing it is as far as certain routes

59
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 2: and certain concepts, and you don't feel as rush and

60
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: you don't feel as you know, you're late or something

61
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: like that. Time work, the feet, time up with the route,

62
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 2: you know.

63
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 3: As there's been minor.

64
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 2: Changes to what I've done in the past to what

65
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,760
Speaker 2: a VP likes, but it's been a smooth transition. Obviously,

66
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 2: he's played the game, so he's he understands how to,

67
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 2: you know, describe it to you and how to show

68
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:27,640
Speaker 2: you how to do it. So it's been a smooth

69
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,680
Speaker 2: transition as far as footwork stuff, and I like it

70
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: so makes easy Failey.

71
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 1: Your mindset is your mindset still that you're competing for

72
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 1: the top job.

73
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:38,840
Speaker 3: I mean, it's that's what I've been told, So that's.

74
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 2: What I'm gonna keep doing.

75
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 1: It's hard to put at the forefront of your mind

76
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:45,840
Speaker 1: when you know the pr Kobe the ten million to

77
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: come here, Drake gets picked three overall and he got

78
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: his millions in your.

79
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 2: Front pick right.

80
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not making as much of those guys.

81
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: I didn't want to bring it up.

82
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, uh no, I mean I don't view it as

83
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 3: that way.

84
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 2: They've told all of us that, you know, there's gonna

85
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: be a competition, there's gonna everybody's gonna have the opportunity

86
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:05,480
Speaker 2: to go out there and prove.

87
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:06,200
Speaker 3: That they can be that guy.

88
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 2: All four of us are gonna do our best to

89
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: do that, and whoever gets that job, you know, the

90
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,679
Speaker 2: other three of us are gonna help that guy do

91
00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:14,519
Speaker 2: whatever he can on the field to win games.

92
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: You could structure from quarterback round where a veteran like

93
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:21,320
Speaker 1: t look like Drake, you're somewhere in the middle. Does

94
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: that helped the collaboration in the past years and it's

95
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: just kind of younger guys overall quarterback up.

96
00:03:26,840 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, obviously it's it's nice to have an

97
00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: old head and not old. He's a thirty one whatever

98
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,239
Speaker 2: older than me. It's nice to have a guy like

99
00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 2: that obviously in you know, in the room. You know,

100
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 2: I'm still going I've only started eight games. Drake's coming

101
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: in and you know he's a rookie, Joe's a rookie.

102
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: They haven't played any so we're all still young termed

103
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 2: as you know, starting games.

104
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 3: So to have a guy like that started however many

105
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 3: games to pick his brain has been great.

106
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 2: So you know, hasn't been any problems, and it's you know,

107
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 2: it's awesome to just you know, have a guy like

108
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 2: that that you can kind of lean on and you know,

109
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 2: talk to talk ball about what.

110
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: You said, like the elephant in her room with you?

111
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 1: Is that something that's just kind of out in the open.

112
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Is that something you just talk about and does that

113
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: almost help things? As these things?

114
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 2: I don't, you know, to be honest with you, I

115
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 2: don't think it's ever really came up in a conversation.

116
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 2: I think we just you know, we all love ball,

117
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: we all wanna win, and that's kind of been the

118
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 2: conversations by itself. You know, we all get along well

119
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: and really hasn't been any you know, true awkwardness. Like

120
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:28,720
Speaker 2: I said, maybe like the first couple of days you

121
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: meet each other, cause you don't really know each other.

122
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,679
Speaker 2: But right now, I mean, it's it's it's running smooth

123
00:04:32,680 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 2: and it's a great quarterback room.

124
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: What's it like watching Joe out and throw the ball

125
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:36,240
Speaker 1: so far?

126
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 3: I mean it's impressive. I mean that guy could throw

127
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,360
Speaker 3: the rock.

128
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: It makes me wonder what I didn't do when I

129
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: was growing up as far as workouts and stuff. But

130
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 2: I mean we'll do a quarterback competition, I'm sure as

131
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:46,919
Speaker 2: far as throwing.

132
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:49,040
Speaker 1: The ball, well, orange, have you seen that video and

133
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 1: throwing the lins?

134
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:50,960
Speaker 3: I've never thrown an orange.

135
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: That's like you were out here to put yourself. Did

136
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: you think it proved yourself last ball? The way the

137
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: way you played the group?

138
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,239
Speaker 3: I mean in some aspects.

139
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: Yes, there are some things that I did personally that

140
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 2: I feel I did really good and there's some things

141
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 2: that I feel I did really bad at and those

142
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: things obviously throughout the summer that I've been continuing to

143
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:11,440
Speaker 2: work on, I've been with AVP, been with TC even

144
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 2: talked to Jacobe about some of those things that how

145
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 2: I can fix those things and you know, not have

146
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,240
Speaker 2: them happen and you know, cost us games because you know,

147
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: you look back at it, the the mistakes that I

148
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 2: made cost us wins. So just talking to those guys

149
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: and just you know, just trying to fix those things

150
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 2: and you know, show that I am improving in that

151
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:29,360
Speaker 2: aspect of my game.

152
00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 3: Really, how much of a role does spend back if you.

153
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 2: Have in all this? Like what is he kind of

154
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 2: helping you guys with?

155
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 3: You know, he he's just another you know, the voice

156
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,280
Speaker 3: in the room. We have, you know, great coaches in

157
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 3: that QB room.

158
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:42,520
Speaker 2: And you know, the fun fact about him is when

159
00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 2: I was coming out in twenty one, I had my

160
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 2: Top thirty visit with him and at the Panthers, so

161
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 2: we already had a you know, a relationship coming in,

162
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 2: so we kind of hit the ground running. And like

163
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 2: I said, he's been around the league for a long time.

164
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: Coach a lot of great quarterbacks. So just picking his

165
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: brain just like you know, I pick a VP's brain.

166
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 2: Okay, I played colors from Goo EPs Ram White wh.

167
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 3: Like that, and like what is it when you're getting out. Yeah,

168
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: so the main part about it all is keeping your

169
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 3: eyes up.

170
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: And not looking down at your feet, not stumbling over

171
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: your own feet, cause when you're in the pocket, you're

172
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 2: not looking down. You're not there's guys running around you,

173
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 2: there's lakes lining everywhere, there's people falling.

174
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,080
Speaker 3: You can't look down cause once you look down, then

175
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: you lose sight of everything going on. So that's kind

176
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 3: of the big thing of you know, the colors.

177
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: And then also sometimes you might see us doing like

178
00:06:26,760 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 2: numbers where Macadoo or AVP will walk around flashing numbers

179
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: and we have to call out those numbers as we're

180
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 2: going through the drills, and that just helps you keeping

181
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: your eyes up, cause that's what you have to do

182
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 2: in a game, oh competitive to exact game, when you

183
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:39,560

00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,040
Speaker 2: it's we keep count, it's kind of a friendly competition.

00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 3: Uh you know, I I think I'm winning, but.

188
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: Uh well I'm sure everybody else have their own opinion
