1 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,240 Speaker 1: Kay a little bit. 2 00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 2: It was your greatest game. 3 00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:14,520 Speaker 3: When you view it, or is there a team or 4 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:16,919 Speaker 3: things you could point to like this is. 5 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: What's going on. 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:21,599 Speaker 1: I mean, there's there's a couple of things, and I 7 00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:24,000 Speaker 1: think more than anything, it's it's just a mindset, you know, 8 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:27,280 Speaker 1: of going out and and you know, when you get 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,159 Speaker 1: an opportunity, defense does their job, you got to you 10 00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:35,000 Speaker 1: gotta capitalize on those situations and execute. For me at quarterback, 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,240 Speaker 1: it just comes down to you know, being aggressive and 12 00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,519 Speaker 1: and making the right throws and you know, being accurate 13 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,800 Speaker 1: with the ball and stuff. So that's that's really just 14 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:46,280 Speaker 1: what it came down to. And so it's it's a 15 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 1: four quarter game of you have to play team football. 16 00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: And like I said, when our defense does those kinds 17 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: of great things and get stops, you got to capitalize 18 00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:56,560 Speaker 1: on it, especially against a good team like the Chiefs. 19 00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 1: And so I had to learn the hard way. And 20 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 1: but I mean for me, it's I go and watch 21 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: the film and I'm real with myself and and uh 22 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 1: you know, don't dwell on it or anything. Got to 23 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 1: learn from it. But uh man, we got another game 24 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: Sunday for another opportunity, and so it's another shot for 25 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 1: me to go and prove to myself that, you know, 26 00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: I can grow and get better. 27 00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:18,959 Speaker 4: So there was one play where they walked an eighth 28 00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 4: guy into the box and then then they added a 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,880 Speaker 4: ninth guy in the box. In that situation, they're giving 30 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,600 Speaker 4: you that kind of a look. Do you have the 31 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 4: ability to audible to a pass play and go to 32 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:31,120 Speaker 4: a different What are your limitations in the line. 33 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,399 Speaker 1: Usually we just have an answer built into the play, 34 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: and so if we do have like an all out 35 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: blitz or something, we usually have an answer of where 36 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,280 Speaker 1: I should be hidden or where I should be going. 37 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 1: And there's very rare occasions where we walk up to 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: the line and we get a look and it's, oh, shoot, 39 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,760 Speaker 1: they got us, and then I'm supposed to randomly make 40 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: up an audible. There's nothing like that. We usually always 41 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:57,280 Speaker 1: have an answer for uh pressures, all out blets and 42 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,840 Speaker 1: things like that. So that's on me to get to 43 00:01:58,840 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 1: the right guy. 44 00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 2: So much of what you do and had success with 45 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 2: is timing based. 46 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,480 Speaker 4: But when you're cycling through so many different receivers, what 47 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,400 Speaker 4: kind of challenges that to get. 48 00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: On the same page timing wise? And then a week 49 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,519 Speaker 2: like this week when you know, they are going to 50 00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:12,640 Speaker 2: probably be some new faces in there. Do do more, 51 00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:14,399 Speaker 2: you know, staying for practice anything like that. 52 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's huge. Uh. You know when you 53 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 1: got some young guys that come in and you're used 54 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 1: to throwing the obviously like b A debouh JJ and 55 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,359 Speaker 1: just you understand how they move and routes and their 56 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,880 Speaker 1: landmark in depths and and just the timing of a 57 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 1: concept and route. And then you get new guys coming 58 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 1: in that you haven't got many reps with, it is tough. 59 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,200 Speaker 1: And so I think you know, this week at practice, 60 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,240 Speaker 1: you know, throwing a jay, cowing more with Ricky, Chris Conley, 61 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: those guys, it's been good just to you know, see 62 00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,400 Speaker 1: how they move and and they're getting getting in and 63 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: out of their breaks and me being on time and 64 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120 Speaker 1: leading them. So uh, those are huge things that you know, 65 00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: you got to build on and rep throughout the week 66 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: and practice and so uh, you know during the game, man, 67 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 1: if you if you get guys get thrown in there randomly, 68 00:02:58,040 --> 00:02:59,480 Speaker 1: it is tough. But at the same time, like you 69 00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,679 Speaker 1: just got to make it happened. And and there's always 70 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:05,639 Speaker 1: coaching of hey, this is the amount of steps the 71 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,760 Speaker 1: depth the landmark, so you can go off those things. 72 00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,160 Speaker 1: But at the same time, everybody runs a little bit differently, 73 00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:13,200 Speaker 1: so it's huge for a quarterback and receiver to be 74 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 1: on the same page in that regard to them about 75 00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:20,880 Speaker 1: you know, what you like with uncertain looks, if they have, 76 00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 1: you know, multiple ways they can run, if you talk 77 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: to those guys about, you know, certain plays you. 78 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 2: Look it this way. 79 00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean this week at practice it's been good, 80 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: just you know, getting into you know, certain situations and 81 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: reps where I'm we're thinking, I'm gonna go to this 82 00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: receiver and a certain look and and then after practice 83 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,800 Speaker 1: like running a couple of routes or talking to those 84 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:44,080 Speaker 1: guys about, hey, this is what I'm expecting and how 85 00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: are you seeing as receiver, and we just get on 86 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 1: the same page, you know, And I think that's huge. So, uh, 87 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:49,800 Speaker 1: like I said, I gut some young guys that are 88 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: stepping into those roles, and for me, it's huge understanding 89 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 1: how they think and then vice versa. So it's very 90 00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:00,160 Speaker 1: vital thrown into a. 91 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:00,839 Speaker 2: Role like that. 92 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,240 Speaker 5: Do you think that you're uniquely qualified to talk to 93 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 5: them about. 94 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 2: That and help them navigate all? 95 00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 1: For sure? I mean, I think, you know, just the 96 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,200 Speaker 1: two and a half years of playing so far in 97 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,320 Speaker 1: this system, understanding my timing, my rhythm within this offense. 98 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,479 Speaker 1: With new guys coming in, I can definitely tell them like, hey, 99 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: this is what BA has done really well at JJA debo, 100 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: and this is where I'm expecting you guys to be. 101 00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: So they're all ears, They listen real well, They're willing 102 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,640 Speaker 1: to be coached, which is great and more than anything, 103 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,400 Speaker 1: we just want to win. So we got the right 104 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: core group of guys, young guys coming in that are 105 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: willing to do you know, what it takes and listen. 106 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: So that's been the blessing with the guys that I'm 107 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: working with. 108 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 4: Process of determining where to throw the ball different against 109 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:47,800 Speaker 4: man coverage as opposed to his own. 110 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,120 Speaker 1: Coverage, I would just say man coverage it you know, 111 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: it depends are they doubling a guy are they not? 112 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,279 Speaker 1: What's the leverage? And then what's our matchup, you know, 113 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: or is it a linebacker on a tight end or 114 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: safety on a time Then like just there's there's a 115 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,520 Speaker 1: lot of things I go into that and uh, what's 116 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 1: my best matchup in this situation? And you know, obviously 117 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: you got there's a lot of other things that come 118 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: into the factor with that, with safety leverage and all 119 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,479 Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. But at the end of the day, 120 00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 1: man coverage is trying to find your best matchup and 121 00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: guy that can create separation versus zone coverage. You're just 122 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,240 Speaker 1: trying to be on time and and and throw the 123 00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:24,680 Speaker 1: spots and windows. So I feel like that's like the 124 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,919 Speaker 1: biggest difference all the guys. 125 00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 5: Sorry, pretty okay, seeming a guy that's pretty big on 126 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 5: spaith having had a tough game against Kansas City last 127 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 5: week and needing to kind of recalibrate refocused having to 128 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,080 Speaker 5: go up against the Cowboys. But kind of in the 129 00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 5: same scenario or situation that you just touched on with 130 00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 5: some of the younger guys as targets, how have you 131 00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,320 Speaker 5: kind of relied on your face to kind of get 132 00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:49,760 Speaker 5: your mind back where it needs to be going into 133 00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 5: this one for the bye week. 134 00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's huge. Obviously, I know who I am and 135 00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:57,520 Speaker 1: what my foundation's built on, so uh, you know, for 136 00:05:57,520 --> 00:06:00,440 Speaker 1: for me, go through some tough games and games that 137 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: you really want to win, for the guys that you're 138 00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: playing with, the fan base, everything, like you take pride 139 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: in that and the position that you're playing. But at 140 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,680 Speaker 1: the same time, like you know, it's all for me. 141 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:11,280 Speaker 1: I look at it as man, this is all about 142 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,920 Speaker 1: growth and putting my faith in God and understanding that 143 00:06:13,960 --> 00:06:15,479 Speaker 1: this whole thing is a process. You know, I'm not 144 00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,440 Speaker 1: gonna get the result right now and then like it, 145 00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: I got to work for it and grow and maybe 146 00:06:21,480 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: He's preparing me and this in our team for something 147 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:26,560 Speaker 1: down the road. And so that's how I'm looking at it. 148 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,599 Speaker 1: That's the hope that I have. But more than anything, 149 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: that also pushes me to you know, be on top 150 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: of my stuff today and push the guys around me, 151 00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: bring up the young guys, and continue to chip away 152 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,119 Speaker 1: every day at our process. You know, you know, we're 153 00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: we lost last week, We're not where we want to be, 154 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 1: and uh, but we understand that we have what it 155 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:46,480 Speaker 1: takes and we just got to keep going one day 156 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 1: at a time. And that's the faith that I haven't. 157 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 2: So sports Radio, it's like, you know, depending on how 158 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 2: you play, when you get a forty three million a 159 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 2: year extension or fifty eight or sixty. 160 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 3: Two or whatever, I don't know, let me that's pretty good. 161 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,839 Speaker 3: But I mean do you. Does anyone get into the 162 00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,920 Speaker 3: back of your mind during the season. 163 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: No, I mean for me, man, like I had to 164 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: play better against the Chiefs last week, you know, and uh, 165 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,160 Speaker 1: for me, I'm like, dude, I gotta be better for 166 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: my team right now for the Dallas Cowboys coming up. 167 00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,080 Speaker 1: You know, I'm always trying to find an edge to 168 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 1: myself and my game, not thinking about what next year holds. Like, dude, 169 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:30,440 Speaker 1: We're trying to win this this Sunday and and trying 170 00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 1: to get our record to get going up. And that's 171 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: where my mindset's at. I'm focused on my team in 172 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,280 Speaker 1: this year and and that's final. That's it. 173 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: Relationship where you would text him after he signed a 174 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 2: sixty or your interactions limited to just the two times 175 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: and FaceTime. 176 00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, that just playing the game is all I've done 177 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: interaction wise, and seeing him after. So that's it. 178 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,160 Speaker 2: Because you've now faced the Cowboys in the regular season 179 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: and playoffs, so you kind of have a sense of 180 00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 2: what this rivalry is and everything going into those games. 181 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:04,040 Speaker 2: Did people hit you up to try to fill you 182 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,760 Speaker 2: in on forty nine or Cowboys did, like like Steve 183 00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 2: Young or somebody trying to get you fired? 184 00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 4: Up to keep the boy. 185 00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,119 Speaker 1: It was more so just like our team meetings and stuff. 186 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,640 Speaker 1: You know, College showed some games from like the nineties 187 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,200 Speaker 1: and the playoff game that they had played in twenty 188 00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,720 Speaker 1: twenty one and just what it meant going into our 189 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: playoff game in twenty twenty two. So that that sort 190 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: of filled me in on oh man, Like, you know, 191 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: there's a lot of history with these two organizations, and 192 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: I remember growing up just watching some games with them 193 00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 1: and it just meant so much every time they played 194 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: and faced off. So for me, you know, it was 195 00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:39,200 Speaker 1: the same same thing as last year, and then even 196 00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: for this game, man, Sunday Night Football agains stas Cowboys 197 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,199 Speaker 1: as a forty nine er, Like, it's it's really special 198 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and so we all take pride in that and are 199 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:48,440 Speaker 1: thankful to be able to be able to play in 200 00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: this game. And yeah, it's a rival reseal. There's nothing 201 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: better than that. 202 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,880 Speaker 4: The brawl to Colmlely against mctefeet one on one and 203 00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 4: it looked like you had Kittle open on out to flat. 204 00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:03,400 Speaker 4: I'm you know, it seems like your natural things to 205 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 4: be aggressive. Do you have to fight aggressiveness attacking down 206 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 4: field with you know, conservative checking down. How do you 207 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:10,440 Speaker 4: balance that? 208 00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:13,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think it's you know, situational football. 209 00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: What's the matchup where we at in the game trying 210 00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:17,640 Speaker 1: to move the chains or we're trying to get a 211 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,760 Speaker 1: trunk here on a matchup that we like. It's it's 212 00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: handling all those kinds of things. And you know, for me, 213 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: I like the press matchup against McDuffie with Chris. Chris 214 00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 1: and I have we've hit a lot of plays like 215 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:31,200 Speaker 1: that at practice and and so we just didn't connects 216 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: on it. Looking back on on film, he had George 217 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: and the flat to maybe move the chains and get 218 00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,600 Speaker 1: us some third manageable. Uh, there's those are all decisions 219 00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,720 Speaker 1: and factors that you know, you got to watch the 220 00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: film and be like, all right, how can I be 221 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: better next time? And so for me, I look at 222 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: it not going I should have done this or that, 223 00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: but looking at it like the next time I'm in 224 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,160 Speaker 1: the situation, let's let's think about it and am I 225 00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,959 Speaker 1: going to be aggressive or am I going to take 226 00:09:57,000 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: this check down here and manage it a little bit better? 227 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,320 Speaker 1: So those are the things that I watch the film. 228 00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: Thanks you guys,
