Speaker 1: The huddle. Um, you know, I missed on some throws,
Speaker 1: but I was starting to you know, get a rhythm
Speaker 1: and get a filled back, and I think that takes time.
Speaker 1: That's why we had the preseason to go out there
Speaker 1: and play. And it wasn't good enough. I have to
Speaker 1: be better. But um, at the same time, I know
Speaker 1: what it takes to you know, keep moving forward on.
Speaker 1: The guys in the locker room knows know what it takes.
Speaker 1: So we have to hold each other accountable, keep moving. Um,
Speaker 1: look at this film improved. But I also think there's
Speaker 1: a lot of great things tonight. I think a lot
Speaker 1: of the young guys really stepped up. Um. I thought
Speaker 1: Nate did a great job of you know, going in
Speaker 1: there and you know, finding a rhythm and really letting
Speaker 1: the ball fly and show what he's capable of doing. Um,
Speaker 1: you know, guys making plays. Um, it wasn't clean enough tonight.
Speaker 1: Um as a team, UM, we're a lot cleaner than that.
Speaker 1: But we'll get back to work and improve on all
Speaker 1: these things. Just um, you know, the plan was really
Speaker 1: just you know, however long Coach Peterson wants us to play,
Speaker 1: so UM, you know that's what was going and you
Speaker 1: know unfortunately, you know, I sort of had a you know,
Speaker 1: my arm grabbed and sort of had to go through
Speaker 1: that issue. But um, you know, I would have liked
Speaker 1: to put some points on the board. Um, but you
Speaker 1: know with the starting crew, but we didn't. But you know,
Speaker 1: we'll keep improving and like I said, we know what
Speaker 1: it takes to get better and we just have to
Speaker 1: do it. I think everyone's made a big deal about it. Um,
Speaker 1: I don't think Tom and I think you know, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of craziness. I mean I've always respected Tom.
Speaker 1: I met Tom several times, and um, it was great
Speaker 1: to see him. Um, you know, but like I said,
Speaker 1: I think everyone made a bigger deal because at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, you know, he's a great dude.
Speaker 1: He's a heck of a player. When the greatest of
Speaker 1: all time, and you know, it's just stay hi. I
Speaker 1: mean that's what quarterbacks do after games. Um, and everyone
Speaker 1: made a big deal of the Super Bowl, but I
Speaker 1: mean the Super Bowl's chaos after so but he was
Speaker 1: nice as he always is. So you know, I wish
Speaker 1: in the best of luck this season. I've been playing
Speaker 1: the preseason last year, but you weren't needed if you
Speaker 1: were in one playing preseason, did you want to plays?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not even gonna go there. Um, We're
Speaker 1: just gonna you know, live in the moment and just
Speaker 1: sort of go day to day. So I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: everything I can to get back on the field and
Speaker 1: you know, hopefully practice the first day, we get back
Speaker 1: practicing and be ready roll. Don't worry about it. The
Speaker 1: second game. UM, we have to execute better. UM. You know,
Speaker 1: I have to actually better. Um from the quarterback position,
Speaker 1: we as a team have to execute better. But UM,
Speaker 1: you know that's where I know all of us will
Speaker 1: look at the film. UM, We'll get back on the
Speaker 1: practice field and we'll continue to improve. That's the that's
Speaker 1: the great That's the great thing about this sport is
Speaker 1: it's not always going to be perfect. Um. It's the
Speaker 1: toughest part about the sport is you want to go
Speaker 1: out there and you want to play a clean game.
Speaker 1: You want to win the game, you want to put
Speaker 1: a lot of points on up. Um. But that's where
Speaker 1: you you really have to dig deep right now. And
Speaker 1: just you know, we're in preason, we're in training camp.
Speaker 1: We have to continue to grow as a team. With
Speaker 1: the team's status and with Carson's availability, I'm sure would
Speaker 1: you understand if the team's a little more poscious with
Speaker 1: you because of But um, you know, I'm not really
Speaker 1: in a position to say I'm just gonna go out
Speaker 1: there and play whatever the you know, team decides or
Speaker 1: what they do or not. You know, as a player,
Speaker 1: we just go out there each and every day, um,
Speaker 1: to try to help this team become better and when
Speaker 1: so that's really all I focus on before uh, this
Speaker 1: exact one. No, Um, you know, I'll see more tomorrow
Speaker 1: about what's going on. But I feel really good about it.
Speaker 1: You know, after the imagry, if it was a regular season,
Speaker 1: you think that could have been something you could have
Speaker 1: played through and that there's no weadn't even try to
Speaker 1: in this scenario. Um, you know, I don't know, it's
Speaker 1: a hypothetical situation. UM. We felt like it was best
Speaker 1: just to shut me down at that point, UM, just
Speaker 1: to make sure, you know, we give a further look,
Speaker 1: to make sure everything's okay. Um. Like I said, I
Speaker 1: feel optimistic about it. UM, so I'll find out more
Speaker 1: information tomorrow. I thought I was very proud of Nate.
Speaker 1: I thought, you know, he went in and you know,
Speaker 1: it's not always it's not always easy to get a rhythm.
Speaker 1: And I think that he was really doing a good
Speaker 1: job of let him wrote downfield, give him his receiver
Speaker 1: chance when players were breaking down. He was doing what
Speaker 1: he could with his legs, but being as smart as
Speaker 1: he could, you know, throwing balls away at times. I
Speaker 1: thought he played really well. I think, you know, just
Speaker 1: from the point he got here last year when he
Speaker 1: came from Washington, I think, you know, he's improved like crazy,
Speaker 1: and he continues too. So it's fun to he's like
Speaker 1: a little brother and me. So it's fun to see
Speaker 1: him go out there and sort of slinging around a
Speaker 1: little bit and give us opportunity to come back. How
Speaker 1: much would mean you if you are able to play
Speaker 1: another preseason game and find that rhythm, that mean a lot.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd be back on the playing field with
Speaker 1: the guys. So that's my goal. That's what I feel
Speaker 1: like it's going to happen. But once again, you know,
Speaker 1: you sort of have to go through the proper channels
Speaker 1: and proper protocols with all this. So I'll find out
Speaker 1: more information tomorrow and then go from there. Awesome. Thank
Speaker 1: You'll appreciate
