Obviously you come in and makes 39 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 2: it easier for you, but how involved have you been 40 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,039 Speaker 2: in the process of helping not just the rookies but 41 00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,480 Speaker 2: some of these other guys that are veteran players on 42 00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:31,840 Speaker 2: the offense learn the system. 43 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,279 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think, uh, you know that that definitely uh 44 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 3: knows an advantage not only to me but to the 45 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000 Speaker 3: team as far as I know what a VP and 46 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 3: and uh this offense is looking for as far as 47 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 3: certain things and uh being able to to you know, 48 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 3: re emphasize that to the guys, you know, when we're 49 00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 3: in the locker room or we're on the practice field 50 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:51,280 Speaker 3: in the huddle and things like that. Uh, you know, 51 00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,840 Speaker 3: I think that just like you know, fashacks us a 52 00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:55,560 Speaker 3: little bit more than uh, you know when I was 53 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 3: in this office the first time, do you for you like? 54 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 2: I mean, I think I would think it takes a 55 00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,680 Speaker 2: certain kind of guy to embrace that role, right, because 56 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,280 Speaker 2: it's not always easy for people to compete for starting job, 57 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: but also to do that part of the job. I mean, 58 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 2: how have you been able to balance that? 59 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 3: I think it comes with the job. Honestly, you know, 60 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 3: it's what you signed up for, and you know, I 61 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:15,040 Speaker 3: want to make sure everybody in the huddle when I'm 62 00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 3: in the huddle knows what I'm doing and what I'm thinking. 63 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,520 Speaker 3: So it's just all about you know. I guess it's 64 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 3: the position. You know, is playing a position. 65 00:02:22,520 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 4: We've seen you read. 66 00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:26,240 Speaker 2: Off every round, you know, with the starting offense or 67 00:02:26,240 --> 00:02:29,240 Speaker 2: the starting offensive line. How beneficial is that that you're 68 00:02:29,280 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: not kind of swapping in and out all the time 69 00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 2: with Drake and that you know that you're a you 70 00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,360 Speaker 2: leading off the jewels. 71 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,359 Speaker 3: I never think about it. I just go in there 72 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 3: and try to do my best when I'm out there. 73 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:39,799 Speaker 1: You had to do when you. 74 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:42,360 Speaker 2: Came here the first time though obviously Tom had two 75 00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:44,360 Speaker 2: smaller receivers. 76 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,040 Speaker 4: Who were very difficult to cover, very reliable and not 77 00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:49,919 Speaker 4: to compare the kind of like Pop the tiny Danny. 78 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,160 Speaker 3: But how valuable is it for a quarterback they have 79 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:52,720 Speaker 3: a guy like. 80 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 4: That and can cover quickly. 81 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's that's what he brings his offense, 82 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 3: a guy that you know obviously had a short area quickness. Uh, 83 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 3: he's also has he has speed to run past people 84 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 3: and things like that. So you know, it's been cool 85 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 3: to kind of see the evolution of how we're gonna 86 00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 3: use Popping and you know, me getting familiar with him 87 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,600 Speaker 3: and making plays and things like that. So I'm just 88 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: hoping it continues to build and it translates to the 89 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 3: field on game day. 90 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,640 Speaker 1: You've had to work with a lot of Brookies obviously 91 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,920 Speaker 1: in your career. It k like Jalen Pope. It looks 92 00:03:18,919 --> 00:03:20,919 Speaker 1: like he has all the things you want to receive. 93 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: What's that process like for you as far as he's 94 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:25,280 Speaker 1: trying to guide him to be the best that he can. 95 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,840 Speaker 3: You know, just I guess just being there for him 96 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 3: and obviously being the quarterback, you kind of just tell 97 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,680 Speaker 3: them like things that you know that you're looking for 98 00:03:33,720 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 3: as far as in this offense. Uh, he's done a 99 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,760 Speaker 3: good job of, you know, of answering the call. You know. 100 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 3: I mean he's he's been thrown in a lot of 101 00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 3: different spots, in a lot of different positions for us, 102 00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 3: and you know, he very rarely misses a beat. And uh, 103 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:46,760 Speaker 3: you know, he's going out there flying around making plays 104 00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 3: and he wants to learn and get better. So I 105 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: think that's the starting point as far as a young guy. 106 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: You just want them to come in and willing to learn. 107 00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:54,720 Speaker 1: And what's that say to you about him? 108 00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:56,960 Speaker 3: Uh? You know that he wants it. Uh, you know 109 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 3: what I mean. And that's all you can ask for. 110 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 4: How long does it to a quarterback to figure out 111 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 4: how to best play behind an offensive line? I know 112 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 4: that you obviously work with a center, you know, on 113 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 4: a regular basis, But learning the tendencies, learning different strings 114 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 4: and weaknesses of some offensive linemen, how important is that 115 00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:14,400 Speaker 4: to you in your development? 116 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: Uh? I never really thought about that. Uh, yeah, I 117 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 3: never really thought about that. Aspect of it is more 118 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:26,160 Speaker 3: of just you know, just trying to, I guess, play 119 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 3: the play as best as I can and obviously certain 120 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 3: protections determined if we get the ball off fast or 121 00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:35,720 Speaker 3: if we're holding on to the ball. So I think 122 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 3: when we all have an understanding of that, it helps 123 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 3: us all play, you know, in accordance, in accordiance. Is 124 00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,320 Speaker 3: that the right word? Accordiance? Yeah, accordance with each other? 125 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:44,520 Speaker 2: Right? 126 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:45,760 Speaker 4: Yeah? What's it like. 127 00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 3: Having David Issuer center and the guy who's kind of 128 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:50,280 Speaker 3: calling protections. 129 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 4: You must have a lot of confidence in him. 130 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:53,400 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. 131 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:53,840 Speaker 4: You know. 132 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:55,480 Speaker 3: Definitely, one of the bright spots when I knew I 133 00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 3: was coming back here was that I knew Dave was 134 00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 3: gonna be here. Uh, you know, we made that joke. 135 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,960 Speaker 3: It feels like it's twenty sixteen all over again, because 136 00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 3: it really does feel like that, you know, Uh, you know, 137 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 3: somebody that I grew close to when I was here before, 138 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 3: and uh, you know and through the time, you know, 139 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: we still have kept that relationship. And obviously having him, 140 00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 3: and I mean a guy that has played a lot 141 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,799 Speaker 3: of football, been in a lot of Super Bowls, guys 142 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:16,440 Speaker 3: that know what he's doing out there. He cannot only 143 00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,520 Speaker 3: help me, uh you know what I'm seeing as far 144 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: as like the old line, but also helped our group 145 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 3: up front. And somebody that's consistent, is it over? 146 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: I know it's in your first joint practice tomorrow, but 147 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:29,279 Speaker 4: when you're walking up the steps and you see a 148 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 4: team with another jersey on, is that kind of bring 149 00:05:31,200 --> 00:05:32,480 Speaker 4: you back to when you're in high school and you're 150 00:05:32,480 --> 00:05:33,800 Speaker 4: getting ready to practice against the other. 151 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 3: Team high school? 152 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:35,280 Speaker 2: Nah? 153 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 3: I mean it feel like game day to me? Is 154 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 3: it's Sunday or Thursday or Friday, whatever days we play on, 155 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:41,960 Speaker 3: But that's what it feels. 156 00:05:41,720 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: Like to me. 157 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: You're making and the speed with your progressions. 158 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 4: Two things that really. 159 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:47,880 Speaker 3: Stand out is that something you've always been good at 160 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:49,520 Speaker 3: is or something that you did to kind of get 161 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:49,960 Speaker 3: better in that. 162 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,520 Speaker 2: Area of your game. 163 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 3: I don't know where he at. You probably tell you 164 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,800 Speaker 3: when I was a rookie, plaly tit I sucked, But 165 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,240 Speaker 3: uh no, it's it's obviously just being familiar with his offense, 166 00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 3: uh you know when and understanding the problems and the 167 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 3: things that come along with certain plays and what we're 168 00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,719 Speaker 3: looking for and not looking for, and what's the ideal 169 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:09,080 Speaker 3: coverages and things like that. So I think that helps 170 00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 3: you know, speed the process up. But it's something that 171 00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,040 Speaker 3: I'm still trying to work and get better at and 172 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 3: and you know, and getting that time with the guys 173 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,719 Speaker 3: and knowing when I can hang on certain guys and 174 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,000 Speaker 3: move on. And so it's a work in progress. I mean, 175 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 3: I appreciate it, but it's something that I'm still trying 176 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:21,960 Speaker 3: to work on. 177 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:24,560 Speaker 4: How much how much is that the trust factor? I 178 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,240 Speaker 4: guess kind of going back to my question before about 179 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 4: the offensive money, trust factor, I guess obviously plays a 180 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 4: big part of that. And I'm imagining that David is 181 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 4: huge in that regards. 182 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 3: Oh for sure. I mean that's what we're out here doing. 183 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 3: We're trying to build trust in each other, you know, 184 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,520 Speaker 3: along with obviously doing the plays. But it's it's more 185 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 3: trust that you know that we can count on each 186 00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: other do the right thing and that and it's not 187 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,520 Speaker 3: like just an old line thing. It's a quarterback thing, 188 00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:46,159 Speaker 3: it's a receiver, running back, it's all of those things. Again, 189 00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: play in accordance, right, I said that, right? 190 00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 4: Right? 191 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: That's time play in accordance with each other. That is, 192 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: it's never solely on one guy, you know what I mean? 193 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 3: Because I mean I could go throw a pick and 194 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:57,920 Speaker 3: it might be my fault, but it's like why did 195 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,160 Speaker 3: that happen? Or certain things like that. So you know, 196 00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,960 Speaker 3: it's just all of us playing a line with each other. 197 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 3: That's how you know. I mean, we build that trust 198 00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:04,640 Speaker 3: form for each. 199 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,040 Speaker 2: Other from your mistakes. 200 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 3: There we go see like
