Speaker 1: Obviously a pretty new Z day. As far as what's
Speaker 1: going on with the quarterback position, as when the team leaders,
Speaker 1: what's kind of been your your take on it and
Speaker 1: kind of gauge the temperature of the locker room right now.
Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I don't know much about the situation,
Speaker 2: Like complete honesty. I came out to practice. I saw
Speaker 2: there's only three quarterbacks out there. Tray's not out there,
Speaker 2: so I mean, I'm trying to ask around what's going on.
Speaker 2: There's not a clear answer right now. Obviously, love Trey.
Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with them right now
Speaker 2: or what's what's gonna be next. But yeah, we just
Speaker 2: gotta keep preparing, get ready, we have game on Friday,
Speaker 2: keep preparing towards Pittsburg. Getting better. But with the Q stuff,
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm honestly not even sure what exactly is
Speaker 2: going on.
Speaker 3: So life in the NFL you kind of focus on
Speaker 3: next day preparation and don't concern yourself with your teammates
Speaker 3: and that that kind of thing.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, there's so much that goes on behind
Speaker 2: the scenes that you honestly don't even know about it. Obviously,
Speaker 2: there's a football part of it. There's a business part
Speaker 2: of it. There's things that you can't control and that
Speaker 2: you can control. My my biggest thing is always controlling
Speaker 2: the controllables. Uh, doing what I can to be the
Speaker 2: best player, best teammate, best leader I can for our team.
Speaker 2: So we just got to control we can control. At
Speaker 2: this point, what were the unclear answers? You've got to
Speaker 2: be honest, I don't really even know. It's honestly just
Speaker 2: like a cloud right now. I'm not even sure. Like
Speaker 2: it was just weird seeing three guys out there. I
Speaker 2: didn't know which trade was so and it was not
Speaker 2: like it was kind of It wasn't something that would
Speaker 2: have to be addressed. It was another workday to go
Speaker 2: out there and get better. And I know they'll handle
Speaker 2: that however they need to handle it.
Speaker 4: What have you seen from from Sham going up against
Speaker 4: Tam this summer? Have you seen progress in the in
Speaker 4: the practices?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Sam's looked good. I've really liked how he's progressed.
Speaker 2: I think obviously being a veteran at the position, the
Speaker 2: arm talent isn't is insane, you know. See that was
Speaker 2: the reason why he was drafted as as he was
Speaker 2: back when me and him both came out in eighteen.
Speaker 2: But I think he's I think he's looked good. I
Speaker 2: think he's continued to get better every day.
Speaker 3: On the arm talent part, I mean just.
Speaker 2: Being able to make like some crazy looking throws. You know,
Speaker 2: like some guys can just flick the football with these,
Speaker 2: and he's one of those guys. You know, he's always
Speaker 2: I think his biggest thing is always trying to make
Speaker 2: sure he's improving on his decision making and getting the
Speaker 2: ball where it needs to be protecting the football. But
Speaker 2: I mean he can make every throw in the book.
Speaker 4: You consider yourself a leader out there in terms of
Speaker 4: setting tempo and such. Have you seen the kind of tempo, professionalism,
Speaker 4: everything you want to see out of this camp from
Speaker 4: beginning to now.
Speaker 2: Just as as a team, Yeah, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2: I love exactly where we are right now. I think
Speaker 2: we just got to keep building to be the best
Speaker 2: team we can for Week one Pittsburgh, making sure we
Speaker 2: have the best fifty three obviously the best practice aquad
Speaker 2: we can get. I think we've grown up a team,
Speaker 2: you know, going into that pre that second pre or
Speaker 2: that first preseason game against the Raiders, you know, I
Speaker 2: think that was a good little kind of check for us,
Speaker 2: a little gut check to see where we were at
Speaker 2: and grow from it. I like how we competed last
Speaker 2: week in that preseason game, and we're just gonna keep climbing,
Speaker 2: keep going.
Speaker 1: A lot o the.
Speaker 4: Coaches players have talked about, like looking back at last.
Speaker 3: Year, Purty's fearlessness like at Deebo City, saw like the
Speaker 3: second preseason gave me Houston.
Speaker 2: It's like.
Speaker 1: Before.
Speaker 4: But I mean, did that stand out that he was
Speaker 4: given his situation and didn't.
Speaker 3: Look uh like a you know, mister relevant.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I I've spoken on it. You guys
Speaker 2: know how I feel about Party and what I saw
Speaker 2: from him early on. Did I think that he was
Speaker 2: gonna become the player that he did throughout the p
Speaker 2: like the po uh end of the season in postseason
Speaker 2: last year. No, I don't think anybody could have seen
Speaker 2: that coming. You know, the poison, the the ability to
Speaker 2: to play the position the way he did, and so
Speaker 2: for him, it's just about stacking it, you know, overcoming
Speaker 2: this injury that he had to rehab and go through
Speaker 2: and being a you know, continuing to just grow. He's
Speaker 2: obviously super young and I I love the w his
Speaker 2: demeanor out there, the way that he prepares and goes
Speaker 2: about his craft. So this guy's a limit.
Speaker 3: Pray yesterday yesterday and practice you and you and Mason
Speaker 3: got into it a little bit, and then Demo and
Speaker 3: Mason got into it. Do you look at yourself as
Speaker 3: kind of the emotional tone setter of that defense at
Speaker 3: and do you have a certain standard that you want
Speaker 3: to see the rest of the defense play too, Yeah.
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. You know it's laden camp. I want
Speaker 2: like it's it was. I knew what type of day
Speaker 2: was gonna be going into yesterday, high day, high reps,
Speaker 2: full pads on for who knows how many days that
Speaker 2: we've been having passed on throughout camp. So you know,
Speaker 2: I just wanted to kind of get guy's minds right
Speaker 2: for the type of day that we were gonna have
Speaker 2: nothing against Mason at all. It's just you know, me
Speaker 2: trying to set the tone for the practice and uh,
Speaker 2: everybody getting each other better. Obviously, Like you said, we
Speaker 2: do have a standard on defense that we need to
Speaker 2: upkeep and we just gotta keep working right. Thank you guy,
