00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:04,480
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, we went back to the film, got got

00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: two ins. So uh yeah, so I gotta gotta keep

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: making plays. Yeah yeah, yeah, Pep, Pep came.

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 2: Up to me after that.

5
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: Mean it was good covers by Pet, it was a

6
00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: great ball by Mac, and then just got to go

7
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 1: out and make plays.

8
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,920
Speaker 2: So yeah, what's that? Oh love it? Yeah, that's why

9
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 2: I was just I know, I'd normally do the jugs,

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 2: but today no drugs in the rain or else it'll break.

11
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: So, uh had our one of our equipment guys, Josh,

12
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: he got me some some.

13
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:32,559
Speaker 2: Wet ball drills. So uh it was good.

14
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:33,800
Speaker 1: Gotta get used to it and gotta be able to

15
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: make plays out here when it's still raining.

16
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 2: So Mike, do you remember from your first preseason game? Uh,

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 2: my rookie year was at twenty eighteen.

18
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 1: H We played uh the Atlanta Falcons.

19
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,159
Speaker 2: I think, and uh it was good man.

20
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: It was just getting out there and going, you know,

21
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: making plays and you know, just trying to you know,

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 1: adapt to the speed of the NFL and you'll hear

23
00:00:58,360 --> 00:00:59,920
Speaker 1: hearing the play calls, getting in out of the hut of.

24
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 2: Kind of stuff.

25
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: So, uh it was good.

26
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 2: It was exciting. Obviously something that you know, you just

27
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: want to build off of.

28
00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,399
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I'm looking forward to Thurston eight myself.

29
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: So I think honestly it's just our operation uh communication

30
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: getting in out of the huddle, you know. I mean,

31
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 1: like I've said, and like you know, it's been said

32
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,960
Speaker 1: in this building a ton. You know, we gotta you know,

33
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: before we win, we must keep from losing. And we

34
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,679
Speaker 1: just got to continue to you know, focus on that

35
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: and harp on that because you know, these opportunities in

36
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: the preseason are a good opportunity to you know, iron

37
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 1: out some of those mistakes and be ready. So this

38
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,240
Speaker 1: way when September rolls around and it's go time, that

39
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:47,319
Speaker 1: you know, we all of our pre snap operation communication,

40
00:01:47,360 --> 00:01:49,000
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff is ready to go.

41
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 2: Guys. Yeah, no, it was good.

42
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 1: Uh you know today he hit me on a like

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: a cross route obviously it's raining out and you know,

44
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: and put like really good touch on it, you know,

45
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: not trying to fire it in there, and you know

46
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:04,160
Speaker 1: these conditions. And I went up to him after where

47
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: I said, you know, good touch on that because in

48
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 1: these conditions, you know, it's harder to catch the ball obviously,

49
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: so you know he has that awareness, which is you know,

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: just another you know, positive to his game. And but yeah,

51
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,560
Speaker 1: I mean the chemistry is good, you know, on the field,

52
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,119
Speaker 1: in the building, outside the building, everything's good. So I'm

53
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,000
Speaker 1: excited to be here and excited to keep you know,

54
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 1: progressing in that aspect as well. Yeah, honestly, I mean,

55
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: I know it sounds obvious, but you really got to

56
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,040
Speaker 1: like lock in and focus on it so that that's

57
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: that's definitely the biggest thing. I normally take my gloves

58
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: off because they're useless now at that point, and then, uh,

59
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, you just got to kind of look it in.

60
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 1: I'm not really a body catcher whether it's wet or dry.

61
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 1: You know, I take a lot of pride in my hands.

62
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,000
Speaker 1: But when it was when it's wet out, I wish

63
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,480
Speaker 1: I was a body catcher, because then it makes it

64
00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: a little bit easier. But uh so, I mean that

65
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: that helps some people, but just really focus on it

66
00:02:54,800 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and lock in. Yeah, I mean, obviously there's always gonna

67
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: be you know, learning curve and that kind of stuff

68
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: and things to get better at. But uh, you know,

69
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: I feel, you know, right at home, I feel you know,

70
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: comfortable and you know, confident, feel like I'm playing fast

71
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,800
Speaker 1: and will continue to just get better like a learning curve.

72
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 1: I don't know how much time he's been with but

73
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:17,000
Speaker 1: we get to see him playing quarterback today.

74
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 2: He's trying to learn receiver. Yeah, rookie in the NFL playbook,

75
00:03:20,440 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 2: can you just explain or guess the level of difficulty. Yeah,

76
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:25,239
Speaker 2: it's definitely complicated.

77
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: But you know, being a receiver in this system, you know,

78
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:29,760
Speaker 1: he he understands the timing and spacing of routes and

79
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 1: understands the concepts. So uh, you know past game obviously

80
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: you still have to read the coverage and you know,

81
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: make that final read and.

82
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: Put the ball, you know, on time.

83
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think some of the complications

84
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: might be like you know, run game, mic points, that

85
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: kind of stuff, which I'm sure he'll still do a

86
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: great job at and our coaches will do a great

87
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: job preparing him. So that'll that'll obviously be an adjustment.

88
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: Stand out to watch him today, athletic man, He's definitely

89
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 1: gonna make some plays, whether it's you know, with his armor,

90
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: with his feet, like.

91
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, he's been awesome. He's been Uh, he's been

92
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: great to go up against.

93
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: Uh, you know, big kid athletic and has you know,

94
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: I've been matched up against him a couple of times,

95
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: and you know he's he's made some play, so, uh,

96
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,680
Speaker 1: you know, happy to have him and uh excited to

97
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: uh you know, keep going up against him.

98
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,320
Speaker 2: Have I ever I don't. I don't think I've ever

99
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 2: gotten rained on like this during media. So I'm glad

100
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 2: that that was the last question.

101
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: Yeah,
