1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:00,880
Speaker 1: What's up?

2
00:00:01,680 --> 00:00:04,800
Speaker 2: Good the play?

3
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:08,639
Speaker 3: When Remandre had the run in the game, it seemed

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 3: like there was some some good work before the snap. Actually,

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,800
Speaker 3: how much do you embrace sort of that part of

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:17,200
Speaker 3: the game and setting up a play like that?

7
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,160
Speaker 2: If I read that right?

8
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, I think the big thing

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 1: is just using your tools, right. Uh, the defense can

10
00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:26,560
Speaker 1: can do whatever they want, so just trying to use

11
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:28,600
Speaker 1: your toolbox to make sure we get in the right

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: play and and all that stuff. But you know that'll

13
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: that'll get easier as the season goes on because you

14
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: see more looks and you kind of remember the looks

15
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: and things like that. So all stuff that we're still

16
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,599
Speaker 1: working through in the preseason. But it's critical for for

17
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the system, the quarterback to just whether you're right or

18
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,599
Speaker 1: wrong to be on the same page as the offensive

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,000
Speaker 1: line because you kind of set up the blocks and stuff.

20
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 4: Was just saying how you've grown from sets of you know,

21
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:55,600
Speaker 4: you're coming after them every single day and practice.

22
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:56,120
Speaker 2: Love it.

23
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 4: What's it been like for you to progress here now

24
00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 4: through camp and getting ready for your last preseason?

25
00:00:59,560 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 2: Yeah?

26
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: I appreciate that, and I think just keep growing, keep competing,

27
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: keeping it fun. Go back and forth with the defense.

28
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,960
Speaker 1: I think we've done that more this this year, and

29
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,199
Speaker 1: really just try and carry it over to the game

30
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: and keep that intensity up. And one thing in practice,

31
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,039
Speaker 1: you can get into a rhythm. I think preseasons sometimes

32
00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: is hard to get into a rhythm. But you have

33
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:21,640
Speaker 1: to work through that and and try and find out,

34
00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: you know what ways you can start fast, uh, and

35
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: really just carry that momnium into the season. But I

36
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: think the defense has given us great looks, both the

37
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: scout defense and the starting defense. So definitely, you know,

38
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: really enjoy competing against them.

39
00:01:35,959 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 4: The words that Adrian used were you're un quote way

40
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,480
Speaker 4: better quarterback, but he didn't want to any.

41
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go.

42
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: Do you feel the same way, and if so, where

43
00:01:46,360 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 4: do you feel that you?

44
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah? I think just with Ap, I think one of

45
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: the things is actually been helping me with is just

46
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: asking questions. Obviously we haven't even played a game yet,

47
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: so I don't know if that's true or not. I mean,

48
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: I think like just talking with him, asking him questions

49
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: when we're going against them, like, hey, what did I

50
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: do there? He's like, hey, good, you know, good job

51
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:08,800
Speaker 1: looking me off on that man de man coverage or

52
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: whatever you know, and just try to take it from

53
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,320
Speaker 1: the practice field to the game field and use those

54
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: tools that I have. But yeah, it's just it's just

55
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 1: continuing to grow and staying to the process, I guess,

56
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:20,639
Speaker 1: and don't don't veer off.

57
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 4: The process for other defenders is kind of asked and

58
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,200
Speaker 4: get tips on what you're doing out there.

59
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I feel like I've I did it

60
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: a lot my rookie year and last year too, but

61
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: really just more this year. Just ask more, not like

62
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 1: annoying questions, but just little things like I'm not like

63
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,080
Speaker 1: trying to figure out their plays and everything, but like

64
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out, hey, like I said, did

65
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: that work that time? And like sometimes they're like no,

66
00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: it really didn't work, whether it was the play or

67
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:47,920
Speaker 1: the head fake or whatever. So it's all things you

68
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,320
Speaker 1: have to add to your toolbox. And that's what practice

69
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: is about. It's about trying new things, trying throws that

70
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 1: you wouldn't maybe throw in the game, things like that,

71
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: which I've tried to do, you know during fall camp.

72
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 4: Practice the right jersey when you had in the preseason game.

73
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 4: How helpful is it to take some actual hits?

74
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:08,400
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's great. I think the game film that

75
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:10,880
Speaker 1: you can watch from that is awesome. You can apply

76
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: drills to what you need to get better at, like

77
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,799
Speaker 1: stepping up in the pocket or avoiding certain defenders and

78
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 1: things like that. So really it's just fundamental football stuff

79
00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 1: and you do it every day in practice and the

80
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: game isn't much different. Really, you know, you don't have

81
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: the red jersey, but that's football, and that's the best

82
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 1: part of football.

83
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 2: About getting better quarterback.

84
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 3: Your confidence growing over the course of this this camp.

85
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think confidence is key really just with teammates

86
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 1: and knowing that you can trust them and they can

87
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: trust you is a big thing for me. Whether that's

88
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: the plays or your leadership style or just having a conversation.

89
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: I feel like just the learning experiences that you have, Hey,

90
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: I saw this, let's try this, or you know, hey, Mac,

91
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 1: throw it like this because I'm open on this route.

92
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: So I'm always open to hear what they have to say.

93
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 1: And that's what's important to me, and that's where my

94
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: confidence comes from. All the other guys in the room

95
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: and the offensive line and those guys gelling together and

96
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: a lot of young guys playing, you know, because of

97
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: the injury right now, which is great. They're getting good

98
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: experience and they're doing a great job and they're just

99
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 1: going to continue to grow. And like I said, we

100
00:04:13,320 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 1: haven't really played a real game yet, so we got

101
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:15,840
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do.

102
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,480
Speaker 3: One more preseason game this week.

103
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,280
Speaker 4: But what are the conversations like, if at all about

104
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 4: the regular seats the first couple of games in the

105
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:23,320
Speaker 4: regular season, A.

106
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Good pointing some Honestly, not much I think around here.

107
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: You kind of just have to live day by day

108
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 1: and just focus on the now. And obviously you have

109
00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,280
Speaker 1: that in mind, right, A good team has the end

110
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: goal in mind. But you can't focus on the end

111
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: goal without going through, you know, the rough stuff. So

112
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:41,599
Speaker 1: you got to continue to plug along, you know, have

113
00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 1: a good practice here tomorrow and full pads and see

114
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: where it takes us. And then, like I said, every

115
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: day is a life, has a life of its own,

116
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: and you kind of just have to go out there

117
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:51,320
Speaker 1: and attack it each day.

118
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: Receivers are having a pretty good camp. You see Davante

119
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 4: Andacon plays out here. Yeah, Bill said, Warren's having one

120
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,520
Speaker 4: of his best camp. The two rookies are showing out.

121
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 4: Was like for you to see that room just having

122
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,320
Speaker 4: a good camp and just a chip on their shoulder.

123
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 2: Maybe a little bit.

124
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, they look good out there, I think in practice,

125
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: just like I talked about earlier, gaining the trust in

126
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 1: everybody and when to throw what type of pass to

127
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: certain guys and then things like that. But I trust

128
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,360
Speaker 1: all those guys. I feel like the older guys, the

129
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 1: dp juju KB, everybody's done a great job of setting

130
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: the standard in there and they know that they have

131
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: work to do, just like we do in the quarterback

132
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: room and everything. So we're all going to continue to

133
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 1: work and that's what it's all about. But I think

134
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: the progress has been there and the older guys are

135
00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 1: really helping the younger guys really going with you.

136
00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 3: You've really taken on this leadership role here.

137
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: What do you have to say to some of the

138
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,960
Speaker 2: rookies and young guys who are trying to earn that

139
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 2: roster spot.

140
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think honestly, you can't really focus on that.

141
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,280
Speaker 1: It's hard to say, right, but just focus on doing

142
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: your part, whatever that may be. If it's to be

143
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 1: on kickoff or a play, and then be on kickoff

144
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: and do your best. If it's to play sixty snaps

145
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: in a game play sixty snaps, So you never know

146
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: with injuries and stuff like that, And the biggest thing

147
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 1: is just believe in yourself and everything else is out

148
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: of your control, right and hopefully you know, you can

149
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: only have so many guys on a team, and that's

150
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: above my pay grade. But I do think we have

151
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: some really good young guys who will play a long

152
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: time in the league.

153
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 2: The young guys you mentioned playing in front of you

154
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: on the offensive line. Yeah, how many of the tools

155
00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 2: that you talked about are at your disposal right now

156
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 2: or do you have to maybe sort of paste that

157
00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 2: to help them along.

158
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah. In the preseason, like the games and stuff, we're

159
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:33,279
Speaker 1: not really showing much, so just trying to do the

160
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,240
Speaker 1: basic things right. But for the guys that come into

161
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: the huddle when I'm in there, I'm doing whatever as

162
00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:41,279
Speaker 1: if it was Trent, David and Riley and all those guys,

163
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 1: you know. So I try not to you know, Taylor

164
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: to anybody because I wasn't tailored to when I was

165
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 1: a rookie. So I think that's important.

166
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 3: Right.

167
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 1: You just go in there, you call it to play. Hey,

168
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna check to this or alert to this. And

169
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: they got to know what to do, and they've done

170
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: a great job with that, and there's gonna be growing

171
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,200
Speaker 1: pains just like I had gone through with all in

172
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 1: multiple plays and things like that. It's the NFL, but

173
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: really just for me and then the young guys, just

174
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: telling them that they can do it and if they

175
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: mess up once or twice, it's not a big deal

176
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 1: in my opinion. Just keep fighting and keep trying to

177
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: make plays and do your thing. Cool. Thanks,
