You know, these these d linemen and 171 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,160 Speaker 3: these defensive you know guys and you know, decordators try 172 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:38,920 Speaker 3: to get after you young quarterbacks are trying to get 173 00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,919 Speaker 3: the ball out and have answers and you know about 174 00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:42,760 Speaker 3: not being afraid to check the football down. So that's 175 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 3: kind of the biggest thing I'm I'm learning and trying to, 176 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 3: you know, get better out each and every week. Is 177 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Speaker 3: you know, not not taking Saxon took some last week 178 00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,200 Speaker 3: that we're on the quarterback and need to try to 179 00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,520 Speaker 3: help myself and help those guys up front, you know, 180 00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:55,240 Speaker 3: this week going in and not taking sacks and trying 181 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 3: to get the football to guys out there. That makes 182 00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 3: the place he is. 183 00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 2: Have you from from Spain? My question is about your 184 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 2: leadership in the locker room. If there is any change 185 00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 2: or anything that you have put in place after being 186 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,320 Speaker 2: in a call as a starter. 187 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's you know, I think that's kind 188 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 3: of my my thing not to try to change, you know, 189 00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 3: who I was in the locker room probably be the 190 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,240 Speaker 3: same guy you know, I think a little more you 191 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: expect me in the huddle. You know, we're out there 192 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 3: as an offense of being the quarterback, getting the guys 193 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 3: going and get him going and practicing the huddle. But 194 00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: really you get captain's on this team that do a 195 00:07:31,720 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: great job leading these guys, and my dad has kind 196 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 3: of earned the respect of those guys. The road goes, 197 00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: and as we go down the road, I can kind 198 00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 3: of build more and more verbal. 199 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:44,240 Speaker 5: Drake. 200 00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 4: I got to ask on Wednesday, you made a comment 201 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 4: about to Mario Douglas saying you can't guard him in 202 00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 4: a phone booth. Was that just a coincidence about coming 203 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:52,360 Speaker 4: to London or. 204 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:55,800 Speaker 3: Was that I gotta asked, No, it's you know, common 205 00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 3: term that you know he was growing up with a 206 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 3: guy that so just happened to me a coincidence and 207 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,080 Speaker 3: it was playing out you say that. So glad to 208 00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:05,960 Speaker 3: have you know, pop on our side of the football 209 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 3: and look forward to watching them on Sunday. 210 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: Hey, Drake, last week, another rookie quarterback at a big 211 00:08:12,520 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: game against the Jags. Anything you can learn from that 212 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: or take from from that game from watching it? 213 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:18,320 Speaker 2: Yeah? 214 00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, watching Caleb, you know, had a big win over 215 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: the of the Jags out here, and uh, just seeing 216 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,880 Speaker 3: I think, you know, Caleb Mason plays you know, on 217 00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 3: the on the move and you know the biggest thing 218 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 3: with him, I thought, he you made some nice throws 219 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 3: and that's the thing last week that I feel like 220 00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:33,920 Speaker 3: I had some throws that I had back and just 221 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:35,920 Speaker 3: looking forward to think Cab is a nice job of 222 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 3: taking them what defense gives them. And you know, I 223 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 3: think you can see each and every week Caleb's getting better 224 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:41,920 Speaker 3: and I feel like a lot of a lot of 225 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 3: that will happen these you know with US rookie quarterbacks. 226 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:46,400 Speaker 3: So hopefully that continues in the trim with me. But 227 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:48,480 Speaker 3: it was always I think it's pretty cool watching the 228 00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 3: Texans how they handle Caleb and now watching the Jags 229 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 3: what they did against you know, quarterbacks is uh, it's 230 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,199 Speaker 3: good for for me, you know, watch them what they do. 231 00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 3: So thank you
