1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Hey, Cam, good morning, Good morning. How are you doing

2
00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:08,080
Speaker 1: doing well when it comes to getting that offense going yesterday?

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: How much of a factor was the lack of practice

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:15,480
Speaker 1: time the last couple of weeks, would you say, I mean,

5
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: I think it's so. I think it was evident. But yeah,

6
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: through it all, man, we just we're professionals and you know,

7
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 1: we had a lot of mental work and zoom calls

8
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: this past week. And you know, that's what it really

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,319
Speaker 1: comes down to. You know, nobody really cares. I know

10
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: there's a lot of people listening to this and even

11
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 1: on a fan base who you know, they just want

12
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:38,599
Speaker 1: results and it's our job to give it to them.

13
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:41,479
Speaker 1: So you know, when talking about you know, the whole

14
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:45,280
Speaker 1: big picture, I think we will be fine and you know,

15
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: but yeah, through it all, we just have to do

16
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:51,560
Speaker 1: better when given an opportunity. Has this been the strangest

17
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 1: two weeks in your career? Oh? Without a doubt, Without doubt.

18
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know here I am. I'm you know,

19
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: I get prepared for something and then find out the

20
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 1: night up or the day before that, I you know,

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna go. Then I was thinking as as

22
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,520
Speaker 1: optimistic as it could be. I was like, man, it

23
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: was a false positive and then it ended up being

24
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: you know true. Then you go through it and and

25
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: games get rescheduled, and you know you're just you know,

26
00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,160
Speaker 1: sit to wonder. You can't work out, you can't do anything.

27
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: And obviously, me being who I am, it's not like

28
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,160
Speaker 1: you could just take this time to you know, go

29
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: vacation somewhere, you know, so you know, through it all, man,

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,200
Speaker 1: it has been weird. It has been you know, um,

31
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:39,600
Speaker 1: an adjustment to your routine. But yet you know, you

32
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 1: you know, people don't people don't pay attention to all

33
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: that stuff. You know, they just want production and so

34
00:01:44,440 --> 00:01:47,279
Speaker 1: do I did you at least get to binge anything

35
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: good while you were quarantining anything good on Netflix or anything? Uh?

36
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: That I did do? Um? You know I started in

37
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: a series Vikings. You know my brother been raving about that.

38
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: You know I started that. What else a Yellowstone? Um?

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:08,920
Speaker 1: Great show? Yellow Get on Pea Valley, man, I heard

40
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:15,880
Speaker 1: about Pea Valley. I heard about p Valley. Yeah yeah,

41
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: Power Buck too, yeah, Power Book to the sequel to

42
00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: the Ghost Yeah oh Power yeah yeah, I got my

43
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 1: reasons about power man. Oh no, it just started getting

44
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920
Speaker 1: weird to me after the third or fourth season. But

45
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: I loved it. I loved it, and uh, I just

46
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:39,119
Speaker 1: can't see his son being this this this gangster in itself.

47
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: But you know, no harm done. I respect the show. Um.

48
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:45,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've had a chance to look

49
00:02:45,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: at film yet, but um, it seemed like yesterday maybe

50
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: you were holding the ball in the pocket longer than

51
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: than normal. Um, what was what was going on there?

52
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 1: If anything? Well, um, you know, it's just production. You

53
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 1: just gotta Yeah, I just have to be better, and

54
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: I cannot stress that enough here moving forward. I you know,

55
00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: like like I mentioned earlier, there was a lack thereof

56
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: of practice being evident and you knowing you know, timing

57
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: was off and you know, the anticipation was off. I

58
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:26,520
Speaker 1: think that was the biggest discrepancy. And not having practice.

59
00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: You know, you know, usually in most times you could

60
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 1: just throw away way before the receiver is looking forward

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:35,920
Speaker 1: and be on the money with it. But you know,

62
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: not having practice for as long as I have had practice,

63
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 1: it's just showed yesterday. But yet through it all, I'm

64
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: all about moving forward. We will be moving forward from

65
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: this point on, and uh, you know, I just can't

66
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 1: wait with regard to the weapons you have. You said

67
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: on this show a couple of weeks ago that the

68
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: answer was in the locker room. Do you still feel

69
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: that way this morning? Cam? Yes, sir, Yes, sir. I

70
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 1: mean the grass is not always green on the other side.

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: You know, a wise man once told me that, Uh,

72
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: it just it just comes down to you know, us

73
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 1: producing better, and that's playing better, and that's you know,

74
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,920
Speaker 1: playing situation of football better. And you know a lot

75
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,000
Speaker 1: of times, you know, going back and mentally looking back

76
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 1: at the game, I can you know, I can't. That

77
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: was just a sloppy um display of football. You know,

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,400
Speaker 1: for the first couple of series, it was just you know,

79
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: different people taking turns, making mistakes, and that cannot happen.

80
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,880
Speaker 1: I think offensive football is the ultimate team sport, you know,

81
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 1: where even one person not doing their job, it shows,

82
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:46,239
Speaker 1: and I think it showed yesterday Cam. The quarterback position

83
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 1: is always under a microscope, but it seems like you

84
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: personally or even under a greater microscope. What are some

85
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 1: of the challenges or motivations that come with that. Well,

86
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, here for me, I just I just try

87
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: to accept any challenges that's that's given to me. And

88
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,359
Speaker 1: you know, obviously you know, with our record being what

89
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: it is, it's not mind blowing and nothing that I

90
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:18,160
Speaker 1: saw it being, you know, if I could foreshadow to it, um,

91
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: But yeah, through it all, you know, nobody cares. I

92
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: don't care either. You know. It's just about you know,

93
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:26,679
Speaker 1: controlling what you can control, and that's things here moving forward,

94
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: and that's what I will do. Were you surprised with

95
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:36,279
Speaker 1: the attention that was paid to where you may have

96
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: been to to get the virus where with the dinner

97
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: that you guys had. Did that attention surprise you or

98
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: are you used to that? I don't want to say

99
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: it would surprise me, But you know, all my attention

100
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 1: here moving forward is just on the San Francisco, you know,

101
00:05:54,440 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: make the proper adjustments on the performances yesterday and just

102
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: move before you know, me and and and Stephan dwelling

103
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: on things that that that's in the past. It's at

104
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 1: this particular point, it's irrelevant. And to be honest with you,

105
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, there's no need for me to keep harping

106
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 1: on something that you know, I've passed that phase. Hopefully

107
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: this team has passed that phase. And you know, our

108
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: heart's minds and energy should be focused on how we

109
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:27,920
Speaker 1: can become you know, three and three next Sunday, rather

110
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:33,280
Speaker 1: than worried about you know, something that we already overcame. Um.

111
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: We discussed this with Boomer a little bit, Boomer Sizas

112
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 1: and earlier. When it comes to that throw to nikkil Harry,

113
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: was that a bad route or was that a bad

114
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: throw on your part? I say more so of a

115
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: bad throw. But it goes back to the anticipation. I

116
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: knew I was going to get hit. I knew you

117
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: know what rod he was running. But that's just a

118
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: thing that you know, I didn't see at all week

119
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,920
Speaker 1: in practice and knowing what he had, but you know,

120
00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: him being faced with different circumstances of the coverage and

121
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: the leverage of the defender. You know, it's just I

122
00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: have to be better. I want to make that perfectly clear.

123
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: You know, I have to play better football for the

124
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and I will, I think any competitor

125
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:21,400
Speaker 1: in this position. You know, I heard a person say once,

126
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: you know, I don't point fingers, you know, I point thas.

127
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: And with that being said, I take full responsibility of

128
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: where we are as offense and knowing here moving forward

129
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: that I will It starts with number one, and I

130
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 1: will be better not And that doesn't mean I'm going

131
00:07:37,560 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 1: to do more and impress the issue. It's just you know,

132
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: doing the small better and I think I can do

133
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: a better job of that. When you say that, you

134
00:07:45,320 --> 00:07:47,240
Speaker 1: know you say that, you know y'all have to do

135
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: better as a team, but you have to do better

136
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: as a quarterback. What are some of the areas maybe

137
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: that you feel like you have to do better at two?

138
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: Obviously you put this team in a position to win

139
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 1: football games and help them win football games. Well, it's

140
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 1: just it just comes down to, you know, situation of football. Um,

141
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, there are times yesterday where the ball could

142
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,720
Speaker 1: have been a little a little more accurate. There's times

143
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:16,679
Speaker 1: where controlling you know, audibles, there's times where just playing

144
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,560
Speaker 1: a little faster, you know, you know, not being more

145
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: so hesitant to your reads. I went, I mean they

146
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: went to the right place, but it you know it,

147
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, it happened a midisecond too late. And in

148
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: this game of football, it's not necessarily about who's better.

149
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: It could be more or less about who reacts faster.

150
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: And that's what it came out to you better be

151
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,960
Speaker 1: careful because we may have a quarterback controversy on our hands,

152
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: not with not with Stidham or Horrier, but with Edelmann. Listen,

153
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 1: I've always said I am a football player who just

154
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: so happens to play quarterback. And you know, whatever this

155
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 1: team asks of me, you know, it's it's it's up

156
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 1: to me to executed. You know, you know, bicker and

157
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: no complainting, you know, from blocking to making a proper

158
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: making the proper adjustments in the run game to catching

159
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,040
Speaker 1: you know which was on display yesterday, say anything else.

160
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 1: You know, my job is to be the best football

161
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 1: player possibly could be and to be accessible to this

162
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: team at all accounts? Can were you surprised the building challenge,

163
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: James White being ruled short of the first down on

164
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:30,360
Speaker 1: the fourth because it looked like he had it in

165
00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the replay. It's not my job to ever question coaching

166
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: and it will ever never be my job to question

167
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:43,720
Speaker 1: U coach Belichick. So I'll just leave it at that there.

168
00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:47,960
Speaker 1: I mean, I know one thing about being here, there's

169
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: nothing that does not go on on accounted for. And

170
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: he had multiple sources, you know, probably advising him to

171
00:09:54,640 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: do U to not throw it accordingly and h you know,

172
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: I stick with it when you think about this offense

173
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,800
Speaker 1: moving forward, and I think it's about the identity and

174
00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of trying to build off the games you talk

175
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,960
Speaker 1: about San Francisco are what are some of the things

176
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:16,960
Speaker 1: that you need to look at offensively moving forward as

177
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: a group, as far as what we can do in

178
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,240
Speaker 1: the running game, passing game. I think just some of

179
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: those things as far as working with Josh McDaniels, that

180
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: will put you in a good position come this next

181
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: Sunday against the forty nine ers. Going back to what

182
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,560
Speaker 1: I said earlier, you know, offensive football is the ultimate

183
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:37,079
Speaker 1: team sport. So you know, just the lack luster performance

184
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: of not having your head in the right position on

185
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 1: a block, you know, can be the difference in the

186
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: gain of two or a gain of twilve. So for us,

187
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: we just have to, you know, control our narrative and

188
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:54,680
Speaker 1: we need eleven guys focusing on one one assignment, not

189
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 1: one guy trying to focus on eleven assignments. And I

190
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,200
Speaker 1: think if we have that type of mentality, I think

191
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: we will be good. There's no need to press the

192
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:07,440
Speaker 1: panic button. There's no need to you know, start reinventing

193
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,120
Speaker 1: the wheel. We have the answers, And I said again,

194
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 1: we have the answers in that locker room, and we

195
00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: get guys back hopefully, and some guys you know, need

196
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: to mend and heal up. But yet through it all,

197
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: it's our job, you know, as players, to produce. And

198
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: I know, looking at you know, our balls in that

199
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: locker room and in the competitors of the people who

200
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 1: just seizes the moment and make the most of each

201
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: and every opportunity, we will get that job done. I

202
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: know how important this season is to you, and so

203
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: I wanted to ask you mentally to just kind of

204
00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: understand how you how you do things. Um, when you

205
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: got that that positive tests, was it, you know, because

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,439
Speaker 1: you had some momentum going team you know, teams playing

207
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 1: you know well in a couple of big games right

208
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: up to the end. Did you did you ask yourself, like,

209
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: you know, I can't believe this is going on right now?

210
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: Or are you a guy who just overcomes whatever barrier

211
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: is put in front of you. Man, my life here

212
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: in the last two years have in essence been like that.

213
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: And you know my faith and you know the God

214
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,760
Speaker 1: I served never waivers you know, it's not my job

215
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,160
Speaker 1: to question why you know, and and and man, why

216
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: I got to deal with this or why I got

217
00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:29,760
Speaker 1: to do this or man, it was just you know,

218
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: getting to the point where I could feel, you know,

219
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,880
Speaker 1: it's it's my job to say yes sir and yes

220
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 1: Lord and get it done. Um. You know, yeah, there

221
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of unfortunate events that that that

222
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,079
Speaker 1: has transpired for me, you know, and this is not

223
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,680
Speaker 1: the only one. But yet you know, I will not

224
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: I will not complain. I will look at you know,

225
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:53,400
Speaker 1: dead inness eyeball and not blink and uh, you know,

226
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:55,839
Speaker 1: I think that's what any person will want to do.

227
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: And now I'm you know, things that I've been faced

228
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: with is it's on world's display, and you know I

229
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:04,679
Speaker 1: have to I have to accept the challenge and be

230
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: better from them. Cam. What was the process like to

231
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,720
Speaker 1: get back on the field following your positive COVID test

232
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: And how difficult was it for you to watch that

233
00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: Chiefs game and how close it was at home? And

234
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: did you ever lobby coach hard to maybe you know,

235
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 1: is there any way I could play in that game?

236
00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,680
Speaker 1: Of course, of course, but you know that I don't

237
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 1: think it was Coach's decision. I think it was more

238
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: or less the doctors. And I think you know this,

239
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,880
Speaker 1: this whole pandemic has through a wrench and a lot

240
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 1: of a lot of organizations, and you know, for us

241
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: being one of them, you know, it's an ongoing, you

242
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,839
Speaker 1: know situation that you know, we don't we do not

243
00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: have any any of the slightest idea of where it's

244
00:13:46,800 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: coming from, who has it, who contracts it, where you

245
00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: contracted from, how you were to you know, to to

246
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,960
Speaker 1: do certain things, because I do believe we have you know,

247
00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:02,880
Speaker 1: did the proper um, had the proper precautions with with

248
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:07,319
Speaker 1: with everything that does taking place, and you still cannot

249
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: be you know, understand where where stemming from. But yet,

250
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 1: you know, watching games here in my living room or

251
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: you know, watching games and and and saying to yourself, man,

252
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:23,840
Speaker 1: if I was there, you know I would have done this,

253
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: So I would have did that. But yet, you know,

254
00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: everybody's coached the same way. You know, Coach Josh and

255
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: Jed and you know Coach Bill, those guys do a

256
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: great job and preparing us for the moment. So you know,

257
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: needless to say who is in the game, and needless

258
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: to say, if I'm in the game or not. You know,

259
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 1: I do know that we all have to just play

260
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:45,600
Speaker 1: better and and uh, you know, knowing the guys in

261
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 1: that locker room, as I would say again, you know

262
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: we will be better. So you still and I'm assuming

263
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: this is true for most together, you still have no

264
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: idea where you got it from A correct correct I

265
00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: mean I think the biggest stare here for everybody was

266
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: you know, just my I guess daily routine of of

267
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: how many hours I put in the facility, and if

268
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: I contracted it, you know there if anybody who would

269
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: have a ref flag, I think it would have been

270
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: meted just say, oh my god, you know here his

271
00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 1: person who was here for as long as he is

272
00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: we you know, who did he who was he around,

273
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,520
Speaker 1: who did he touch? You know, and things like that.

274
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: And I was more concerned about it because I didn't

275
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: want to put nobody else on the team in jeopardy

276
00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: for this. You know. The fact that Steph you know,

277
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:42,600
Speaker 1: contracted it was was my worst nightmare, you know, being

278
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:45,240
Speaker 1: that you know, I would never want to sabotage anything,

279
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: you know, to the slightest degree, because I know what

280
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: we had the capability of becoming and and yet through

281
00:15:51,640 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 1: it all, you know, we we um we seed it.

282
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: We saw I mean, I'm sorry, we saw it and

283
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:03,040
Speaker 1: and and and got better understanding of it. One of

284
00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: the things that you you were talking about a little

285
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: bit is just trying to make your guys, you know,

286
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,640
Speaker 1: understand the big pitch you're not you know, taking this

287
00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 1: game and this loss and kind of getting your heads down.

288
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 1: As a leader of this team, how important is it

289
00:16:16,360 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 1: for you to make sure that you're always you know,

290
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 1: kind of you your upbeat. I mean, that's kind of

291
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 1: who you are. But just to make sure that these

292
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 1: younger guys, because there's a lot of younger guys that

293
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: have to contribute for you guys to be successful, but

294
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: they see you know yourself and Julian, the other leaders

295
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: and veterans on this team know that, hey, we put

296
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:39,480
Speaker 1: that game behind us and we move on. I think

297
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: the main thing that we all have to be better with,

298
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: and I think it showed yesterday with us not having it,

299
00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 1: was just playing with a sense of urgency. You know

300
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,840
Speaker 1: a lot of times as athletes, we all always have

301
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 1: the cliche kind of theory of mindset. All we get

302
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: them next time, All, well, you know we'll do better

303
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 1: next time. Well on this league, man, next there may

304
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:03,560
Speaker 1: not be no next time, you know, there may not

305
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: be no next drive. There may not be no you know,

306
00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 1: next opportunity. So you know, for the time being, we

307
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: have to be our best when our best is needed.

308
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: And it may be the first drive, it may be

309
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: the second drive, It may be the first time we're

310
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: in the red zone, it may be the last time

311
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 1: we're in the red zone. So you know, with that

312
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 1: type of mindset here moving forward, I think you know,

313
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: we all know what we have to do, and we

314
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,199
Speaker 1: have to do what we are supposed to do in

315
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 1: order for us to get the results that we're looking for.

316
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: Quarterback question of the week and it's from a seven

317
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 1: eight one texter who wants to know if you feel

318
00:17:35,240 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 1: like this team right now is talented enough as currently

319
00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 1: constructed to make a playoff run. Listen, that is my

320
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: last worry right now. I think you know us here

321
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,560
Speaker 1: moving forward is you know, we have no room to

322
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 1: look through a telescope. You know, our focus should be

323
00:17:57,359 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: with a microscope and trying to find ways to come

324
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: better day by day and looking forward to the next

325
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: game and seeing how we can maximize each day and

326
00:18:07,040 --> 00:18:13,200
Speaker 1: each opportunity. But outside looking down, you know, to the playoffs.

327
00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 1: I don't think none of us want to, you know,

328
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:18,159
Speaker 1: want to kind of take our energy and our focus

329
00:18:18,240 --> 00:18:19,719
Speaker 1: to that point. You know, we just want to make

330
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: sure that we maximize things here, you know, day by

331
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 1: day and see what that kisses. You know, there's a

332
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: lot of pressure on you. I hope you understand that

333
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 1: there's pressure on me too, Cam I deal. I deal

334
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:32,639
Speaker 1: with a lot of pressure here and I just before

335
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,760

336
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:45,280

Speaker 1: Was it where the entrees, where the entrece vegan? Or

338
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:51,360
Speaker 1: when it comes to gilmore, did he have like any

339
00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 1: kind of protein in the meal? Just give me that

340
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:59,520
