Speaker 1: With all the comings and goings and just not having
Speaker 1: the whole offense out there through the entire training campel
Speaker 1: from the beginning, I thought, you know, there's some things
Speaker 1: that we could all probably do a little bit better at.
Speaker 1: Just myself included just the live speed and having everybody
Speaker 1: in together, tied together with everything, shifts, motions, operation, going
Speaker 1: against man coverage, finding ways to get open and being
Speaker 1: on time. Like there's just that that, uh, the sense
Speaker 1: of urgency that I think that we can be a
Speaker 1: little bit better with. I think we found that as
Speaker 1: the game went on, but you know, definitely feel like
Speaker 1: we could all still get better. So what did it seem? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, you know, Christian does a lot
Speaker 1: I think in the past game, you know, dropping back
Speaker 1: and either going to him as a first option or
Speaker 1: knowing that he's he's my last option and and there's
Speaker 1: a really good chance that he's open. But would ap
Speaker 1: I think JP did a good job coming in and
Speaker 1: you know there were some third downs and stuff where
Speaker 1: I was able to hit him on some checkdowns and
Speaker 1: him doing the same thing Christian has done. So obviously,
Speaker 1: you know, Christian is the best you know in the
Speaker 1: league at running back and what he does. I'm not
Speaker 1: taking anything away from that, but I think JP did
Speaker 1: a good job of coming in and filling his void
Speaker 1: and doing his job to allow other guys to get
Speaker 1: open and allow us to run our offense. So that
Speaker 1: this needs confidence product. But given you guys went through
Speaker 1: in the offseason what happened Ricky last week and had
Speaker 1: traumatic experience and you know Christian tonight, to have a
Speaker 1: convincing win like this against what we all believe is
Speaker 1: probably gonna be a good team, what does that do
Speaker 1: for the cub Yeah, I think it's good for us.
Speaker 1: You know, we've been through a lot as a team,
Speaker 1: you know, just with signing guys, trying to get guys back,
Speaker 1: Ricky situation and and Christian and yeah, there's there's a
Speaker 1: lot that goes on. It's the NFL, you know, some
Speaker 1: crazy stuff can go on. But just our culture, our team, uh,
Speaker 1: what we stand for and how we all come together
Speaker 1: and find find ways to win in and rally around
Speaker 1: each other. We do it right here. And that's something
Speaker 1: that I stand on and firmly believe in and we
Speaker 1: all do. So, you know, I'm very proud of the
Speaker 1: guys to be able to you know, fight through just
Speaker 1: all the adversity and stuff that we've been been going
Speaker 1: through in the last however many months. But we're just
Speaker 1: gonna keep pushing together. And how have you seen it
Speaker 1: grow in the three years that you've been with wasn't
Speaker 1: like to see him have the success that he had, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean just you know, coming in rookie year, trying
Speaker 1: to learn the playbook together. You know, he and I
Speaker 1: would like meet a lot and go through everything. So
Speaker 1: he's always had that drive to to learn and knowing that,
Speaker 1: you know, we were guys that you know, I was
Speaker 1: the last pick and he was undrafted, and uh, knowing
Speaker 1: that we weren't gonna have a lot of opportunities and
Speaker 1: we had to make the most of the opportunities that
Speaker 1: we got. So he knew that and we both did.
Speaker 1: And so to see him over the last two years,
Speaker 1: you know, just push the envelope more and more every
Speaker 1: year and then get an op you know, this year
Speaker 1: at camp and do well with it. And obviously in
Speaker 1: the first game of the season he did great with it.
Speaker 1: So really really excited for him. He's earned it. Man,
Speaker 1: He's the kind of guy that was not given to
Speaker 1: him and so to see him go out and do
Speaker 1: what he did tonight. Man, I'm so happy for him,
Speaker 1: and I know he's gonna keep pushing. He bought that
Speaker 1: chugs gun and told us about it, and it seems
Speaker 1: like it's improved as catch radious this summer. Have you
Speaker 1: noticed that? Yeah, I think just him getting out of
Speaker 1: the backfield, reading the defense as like a quarterback does,
Speaker 1: and what Christian does really well. Uh, JP grew in
Speaker 1: that area, and then obviously just with his hands getting better,
Speaker 1: he's just smooth, soft. You know, sometimes running backs can
Speaker 1: be a little you know, bobbly on checkdowns and stuff.
Speaker 1: But he's the kind of guy now where you know,
Speaker 1: he looks things in, gets it tucked in really well,
Speaker 1: and and then he's off and going. So that's an
Speaker 1: area that he definitely got better at, and we saw
Speaker 1: it tonight. He scored on all eight of your series
Speaker 1: after the opening three and out, And are you disappointed
Speaker 1: that he got six field goal? I didn't know that.
Speaker 1: I'm happy for Moody, but yeah, I mean it's for
Speaker 1: us as an offense. It's like, man, we want to
Speaker 1: score touchdowns and and we're hard on ourselves about you know,
Speaker 1: Like I think it was like a third and eight
Speaker 1: or third and ten and coming up short, and it's like,
Speaker 1: man like, you know, there's areas where we want to
Speaker 1: push each other and and get a little better, and
Speaker 1: that starts with me. So but I'm glad Moody got
Speaker 1: some good work in and he uh did a great
Speaker 1: job tonight. Thanks guys,
