Versa did all the work. 20 00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 2: She she crushed it. It was amazing to watch. So 21 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:46,920 Speaker 2: it was it was special not to uh. 22 00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,080 Speaker 4: Changed the subject or anything, but uh, what was your 23 00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:50,440 Speaker 4: overall reaction. 24 00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 1: To Doug being gone? 25 00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,240 Speaker 3: I mean, is it something? 26 00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:53,960 Speaker 4: Uh? 27 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:55,680 Speaker 3: Is it? I is it? 28 00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:56,800 Speaker 1: Is it crushing to you? 29 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: Is it you or do you just attribute to that's 30 00:00:58,960 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 3: the business? 31 00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's it's both you know it's as 32 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,199 Speaker 2: a player, it's it's weird, especially given the history with 33 00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,400 Speaker 2: with coach and and being here and you know, had 34 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 2: having success early. I think it's difficult to to look 35 00:01:16,080 --> 00:01:18,160 Speaker 2: at where where we're at now at the end of 36 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 2: this season and take it for what it is and 37 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 2: be like, man, it was just such a rough year 38 00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: and tough on every regard injuries, not winning games. 39 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: That's just tough on a team. 40 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,680 Speaker 2: So I think as a player, you look at it 41 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:32,759 Speaker 2: and you understand that's part of the business, but you're 42 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: also you're also disappointed and you feel some responsibility because 43 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 2: as a player you have impact on the game. You you 44 00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 2: know it's on us as well. So I think you 45 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,120 Speaker 2: see it and you're it's unfortunate, I guess is the 46 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,440 Speaker 2: best way to put it, just because you feel like 47 00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,960 Speaker 2: you wish you could have done more and you wish 48 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,480 Speaker 2: you would have won more games. If you asked any 49 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 2: of us going into this season, no one would have 50 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 2: thought Coach Peterson would have been would have been fired 51 00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,560 Speaker 2: at the end of the year, and you just see 52 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 2: the way the year went and it's just a pointing. 53 00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 2: So I think it's a weird feeling, but you do 54 00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 2: understand it's part of the business and you just got 55 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 2: you have to continue to get better, and for whatever reason, 56 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,679 Speaker 2: this year we didn't do that, And and that's not 57 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,359 Speaker 2: you know, I think there's a lot of a lot 58 00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: of things at play regarding that, and it's not all 59 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 2: just on on one person. And I'm very grateful for 60 00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 2: coach and what he's done here and done for me. 61 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,920 Speaker 2: You know, my rookie year was really tough and a 62 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: lot of chaos and turmoil and just a really crazy situation. 63 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:32,280 Speaker 2: And for him to come in and provide stability and 64 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,280 Speaker 2: to kind of revive our team a little bit and 65 00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,480 Speaker 2: and be that consistent piece and voice for us, He's 66 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,760 Speaker 2: done a lot of great things here, So I don't 67 00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 2: want that to be overshadowed by obviously a tough and 68 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,760 Speaker 2: disappointing finish to how it went. 69 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,919 Speaker 1: What would you like to see in the new coach? 70 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 3: I mean, in terms of either style, does it? Is 71 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:52,639 Speaker 3: it a guy that you would prefer to be an 72 00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,200 Speaker 3: offensive guy? What? 73 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 4: What? 74 00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 3: What goes through your mind do you think about what 75 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 3: you want in a leader? 76 00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:00,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, there's a lot, there's a lot of things. 77 00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 2: Obviously I'm biased, you know, I'm an offensive guy. I'm 78 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 2: a quarterback, you know, So I think from that standpoint, 79 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,240 Speaker 2: sounds great having a having a young offensive coach that 80 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,800 Speaker 2: can you know, bring the system in and that we 81 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: can just grow together and and have that system in 82 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 2: place for years to come. That sounds great, you know that, 83 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,680 Speaker 2: So that that from that standpoint, that would be great. 84 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 2: But I think just as far as a leader, you 85 00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:26,919 Speaker 2: want the right guy that's that's gonna be the right 86 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:30,800 Speaker 2: leader and voice for your team and set that culture 87 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 2: and you know, just to be a tough team mentally 88 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:37,600 Speaker 2: physically that can withstand the ups and downs of this season. 89 00:03:37,640 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: You know, I think that that was something that you know, 90 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: the last couple of years or two years ago, we 91 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,200 Speaker 2: did a great job of. But for whatever reason this year, 92 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 2: we weren't able to do that. And you know, it's 93 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 2: hard to put a finger on sometimes while you're not 94 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 2: able to. But I think from a leader standpoint, whether 95 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 2: it's an offensive coach or a defensive coach, just a 96 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,360 Speaker 2: guy that's going to instill that culture, that toughness into 97 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 2: our team and just confidence that it doesn't matter who 98 00:04:02,360 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: we're playing when we're playing, just spot the ball and 99 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,600 Speaker 2: we can beat anybody, and just a tough team that 100 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:11,680 Speaker 2: other teams don't want to play against. So I think 101 00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 2: all that we need to get back to that. And 102 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 2: whether it's offensive or defensive, that's I think the most 103 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 2: important piece. But yeah, of course obviously I'm biased with 104 00:04:19,360 --> 00:04:23,160 Speaker 2: the offensive thing, but whoever, it is, just that mindset 105 00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: I think is important. You said it's an offense predictable, 106 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,760 Speaker 2: you know, at times, I think you could. You could 107 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,159 Speaker 2: say that about other offenses as well, But I just 108 00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 2: think when you struggle to you know, for us, it's 109 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:46,400 Speaker 2: you know, whether it's certain plays unfolding not going our way, 110 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: or scheme or whatever. We weren't able to run the 111 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 2: ball consistently effectively, uh the last few years, and I 112 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 2: think that really gave us trouble, to be honest, and 113 00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: it's hard to it's hard to get everything else going 114 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,680 Speaker 2: when when that's struggling. So I think that's where you 115 00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 2: maybe can see the predictability, is when when that's not 116 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,599 Speaker 2: working and you have to you have to lean on 117 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:12,040 Speaker 2: pushing the ball down field or getting the ball on 118 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 2: the perimeter. I think that's where you can kind of 119 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:18,560 Speaker 2: see maybe some predictability. And obviously this year it becomes 120 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,640 Speaker 2: even tougher, right with a bunch of injuries and you 121 00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 2: lose you lose me Evan Christian Gabe, you lose some 122 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,480 Speaker 2: guys up front, and you start to piece all those 123 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:30,160 Speaker 2: things together, and then it's it is challenging to be 124 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:34,360 Speaker 2: unpredictable and efficient and explosive when you're missing a lot 125 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: of pieces. So yeah, I think at times we were 126 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,279 Speaker 2: for sure, and I think that's something that definitely should 127 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,800 Speaker 2: be evaluated and in the new scheme that we that 128 00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:47,440 Speaker 2: we get whoever whoever comes in here, head coach, offensive coordinator, 129 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:50,760 Speaker 2: whatever the setup is, just I think that that run 130 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 2: game piece of setting our guys up for success with 131 00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 2: the scheme and then obviously the detailed and coaching and 132 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,760 Speaker 2: making sure we're just all on the same page to 133 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,840 Speaker 2: where we can run the ball effectively and consistently, because 134 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 2: I think that's where you look at the good offenses 135 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 2: in the NFL, that's a they all pretty much have that, 136 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 2: So you know, we need to be able to do that. 137 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: And obviously we're gonna we got to make the plays 138 00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 2: on the field too, And seeing the how BT jumped 139 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 2: jumped out this year, I mean that's exciting and the 140 00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 2: other guys we have and I feel like when I'm healthy, 141 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 2: obviously pushing on the ball down the field as a 142 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 2: strength of mind. So I think marrying all those things 143 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:29,120 Speaker 2: together will help with that for sure. 144 00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 4: The interview list five offensive coordinators in there that you guys, 145 00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:37,320 Speaker 4: you don't want to at least. 146 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,480 Speaker 2: That, Yeah, you know, I think I think it's great. 147 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:45,160 Speaker 2: It seems like every you know, it's never know what's 148 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,440 Speaker 2: gonna happen, how everything's gonna unfold. But it seems like, 149 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:49,520 Speaker 2: you know, we're doing all the right things as far 150 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: as talking to all the right people and the all 151 00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 2: the big name candidates that are out there, it seems 152 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,440 Speaker 2: like they're on the list. So beyond that, I don't 153 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 2: really have much much else for you, honestly, so, but yeah, 154 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,640 Speaker 2: it's exciting, I think for seeing the list and the 155 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 2: potential candidates. You know, I don't know any of those 156 00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:06,840 Speaker 2: people personally really, so it's kind of hard to say. 157 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 2: I don't really necessarily have an opinion. 158 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,680 Speaker 1: How do you look at yourself four years into your 159 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:16,120 Speaker 1: NFL career, where you're at, where you where you thought 160 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:19,440 Speaker 1: you'd be, want to be, and how much does the 161 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: last fourteen months because of injuries and what you've add 162 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 1: up you rives. 163 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's it's definitely. 164 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 2: Challenging kind of looking at where I'm at and the 165 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120 Speaker 2: improvements I've made. I do feel like I've gotten better 166 00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: every year, But the big piece of it is being healthy. Right, 167 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,920 Speaker 2: So being the franchise quarterback, I have to be out there. 168 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 2: I have to be on the field and have to 169 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,760 Speaker 2: be available. So I think that's that's difficult for me 170 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 2: to not be able to do that, and and really 171 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,000 Speaker 2: the last two seasons that's been a struggle for me. 172 00:07:49,560 --> 00:07:51,680 Speaker 2: Last year only missed one game because of it, but 173 00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,320 Speaker 2: still was dealing with a lot of injuries. I mean, 174 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 2: that's something in my career until last year I didn't 175 00:07:56,840 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 2: I didn't deal with really much. So you know, this 176 00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 2: year was tough, missing basically half the season because injuries 177 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:06,800 Speaker 2: and having to watch and definitely get a different perspective 178 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 2: of everything when you're not in the middle of it 179 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 2: every day. So I think I've learned a lot. The 180 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 2: main thing is I just got to be healthy, and 181 00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 2: whether that's getting stronger this offseason, limiting some of the 182 00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 2: hits when I'm out there, they're You're not going to 183 00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,040 Speaker 2: limit everything, but just doing my part to stay out 184 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,160 Speaker 2: there and not taking unnecessary risks when I when I 185 00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 2: need to be healthy for the season, for one play, 186 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 2: you got to weigh that is is it worth getting 187 00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 2: the first down this one play on second down, or 188 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: is it more important to stay healthy for the long term. 189 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 2: So I think I've learned a lot through injuries and 190 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,320 Speaker 2: the different ways they've happened, and how I can try 191 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 2: to protect myself more because that's the main thing I 192 00:08:44,480 --> 00:08:44,920 Speaker 2: need to do. 193 00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:46,240 Speaker 3: You know. 194 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,760 Speaker 2: I feel like this season, when I was playing and 195 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:50,520 Speaker 2: I had a couple a couple of rough games, I 196 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 2: gotta be a little more consistent. 197 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 3: You know. 198 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 2: I had had two or three games where I didn't 199 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: feel like I played good enough for us to win. 200 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 2: Beyond those games, I really felt like I made a 201 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 2: lot of improved mints. Consistency, throwing the ball on the field, 202 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,360 Speaker 2: putting us in position to score. I think taking care 203 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,719 Speaker 2: of the ball was a big emphasis that I was 204 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: doing a better job of this year, maybe till the 205 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,680 Speaker 2: very end, till the last game or two that I played. 206 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 2: So those things I do think I improved on. But 207 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:17,240 Speaker 2: got to stay healthy. 208 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:21,120 Speaker 3: That's the biggest thing. Yeah, I've seen it. 209 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:23,400 Speaker 2: I mean, you see it everywhere, especially the day then 210 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:26,600 Speaker 2: the few days after, so I've seen it. 211 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:30,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, scary to look back on it, and and does 212 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 4: that concussion aspect of it, does that worry you? 213 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 2: Moving forward? 214 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 4: Second one in thirteen or fourteen. 215 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:40,320 Speaker 2: Months, It doesn't necessarily worry me. I think it's something 216 00:09:40,360 --> 00:09:43,320 Speaker 2: that can be scary. I guess seeing it after the 217 00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 2: fact and not really no one was going in that moment. 218 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 2: I didn't know that was happening. I was I was out, 219 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,000 Speaker 2: so I didn't know, So it's kind of weird. It's 220 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: just weird seeing it after the fact. But I don't 221 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 2: know if worried is the right word moving forward. I 222 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,560 Speaker 2: think it's something that you definitely are aware of, and 223 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:02,040 Speaker 2: just you don't want to get a lot of concussions, obviously, 224 00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:04,600 Speaker 2: and that's that's a that's a note, that's that's an 225 00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,360 Speaker 2: easy answer there. So I don't want to have more 226 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,440 Speaker 2: of them. You want to limit them. But I think 227 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 2: right now it's not something I'm overly concerned about. I 228 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 2: just want to be able to protect myself and and 229 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,640 Speaker 2: obviously don't want to continue that trend because that can 230 00:10:18,679 --> 00:10:20,559 Speaker 2: definitely affect how long you play if you keep getting 231 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 2: those so I want to I want to stay healthy. 232 00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,960 Speaker 2: I want to avoid those shots of the head when 233 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:25,000 Speaker 2: when I possibly can. 234 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:28,679 Speaker 3: Haven't talked to him. 235 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 1: Disappointed. 236 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:31,680 Speaker 3: I mean, I. 237 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 2: Think it's obviously it's something that you know, I've kind 238 00:10:36,760 --> 00:10:39,439 Speaker 2: of wanted to move on from, try to stay away from, 239 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,120 Speaker 2: try to stay away from comment on the whole deal. 240 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:42,400 Speaker 3: You know. 241 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: I think it's it's it's a tough situation. Yeah, I mean, 242 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:48,959 Speaker 2: obviously part of you is like, yeah, it would have 243 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:50,880 Speaker 2: been nice to reach out, But I know he's got 244 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,439 Speaker 2: his own stuff going on, and he's trying to think 245 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:54,600 Speaker 2: a lot of that is he's trying to fight for 246 00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 2: his reputation on his end, and I don't think. I 247 00:10:57,800 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 2: don't think personally attacking the guy is the right answer. 248 00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 2: You know, I know guys that know him, and everyone 249 00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 2: says he's a great guy. I don't know him personally, 250 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,840 Speaker 2: so obviously the hit was I don't think the hit 251 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: was right. But I also don't think that. I think 252 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 2: if he knew that was gonna happen, he wouldn't do it. 253 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,560 Speaker 2: You know, That's I would hope no person would do 254 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,080 Speaker 2: that if they knew the end results. So obviously he 255 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,679 Speaker 2: doesn't know that, but I think it's I don't think 256 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: the hit was right, so I stand by that. But 257 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 2: I'm also don't condone people attacking the guy personally because 258 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,600 Speaker 2: it is football and things happened fast, and like I said, 259 00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 2: I don't think he's maliciously trying to do that to somebody. 260 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: I just think he's went a little overboard with that 261 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 2: and trying to be physical, and obviously he was. He 262 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: was suspended for a while and and and paid the 263 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,800 Speaker 2: price for that. So I want to move on from it. 264 00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,120 Speaker 2: It's nothing you can do now. It's in the past. 265 00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:47,320 Speaker 3: Uh, I don't. 266 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 2: I don't as far as holding grudges and stuff like that. 267 00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: I like to move on and I got a life 268 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 2: to live beyond that, So I've moved. 269 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:54,640 Speaker 3: On from it. 270 00:11:56,400 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 4: Shots comments from Monday about Aaron Rodgers to point out 271 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 4: if that's the situation here as well as would you 272 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:05,240 Speaker 4: like to have a seat at the table when it 273 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,400 Speaker 4: comes to deciding who the next head coaches and where 274 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:08,439 Speaker 4: this organization goes? 275 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,360 Speaker 2: You know, I think it's see the seat of the 276 00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: table is kind of a turn. I don't know how 277 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:14,880 Speaker 2: far that would go. 278 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:15,560 Speaker 3: Uh, you know. 279 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 2: I I My job is to is to prepare myself 280 00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 2: to to play really well and to win games and 281 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:21,960 Speaker 2: be on the field. 282 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,040 Speaker 3: So I don't want to ever. 283 00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:27,679 Speaker 2: Cross any boundaries and try to do more than than 284 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:31,400 Speaker 2: my job if that's not wanted or or or needed. 285 00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 2: So I of course have opinions. I've I've been here 286 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:37,800 Speaker 2: now four years. I've I've had two coaches. I've I've 287 00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: seen good, bad, kind of everything in between. So I 288 00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,840 Speaker 2: do have an opinion, and I think that I think 289 00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:47,200 Speaker 2: that mister Kahn and Trent really value my opinion honestly. 290 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,880 Speaker 2: So of course we'll have conversations, and we've had conversations, 291 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 2: but as far as obviously I'm not making the decision. 292 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,679 Speaker 2: You know, I'm I'm the I'm the quarterback here. I'm 293 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: not the I'm not the owner, I'm not the GM. 294 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,480 Speaker 2: I'm the quarterback. So I know I know what my 295 00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 2: role is. But I also think that my opinion is important, 296 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,959 Speaker 2: so and I think that they value it. So I 297 00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 2: guess that I don't know if that answers your your question, 298 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 2: but that's how I feel about it. 299 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,920 Speaker 1: Getting injury from Tag because of all the injuries you 300 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,960 Speaker 1: had last year and then twenty four as well. 301 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 2: No, I no, it doesn't bother me. I just want 302 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: to stay healthy. It bothers me is not being out there. 303 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 2: So I'm not really worried about any labels or tags 304 00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:28,360 Speaker 2: or anything. I just wanna I want to be out 305 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,559 Speaker 2: there so I feel like I can. I know I 306 00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:32,960 Speaker 2: can impact the game and and help us win games 307 00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 2: when I'm out there, and when I'm not, it's tough. 308 00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 2: You know, it's tough seeing or even just being in 309 00:13:37,559 --> 00:13:40,079 Speaker 2: here and getting treatment, Guys going out to practice and 310 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 2: you're just sitting there. 311 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 3: So it's weird. 312 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:46,040 Speaker 2: It's not fun just sitting on the sideline and not 313 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 2: being able to have an impact. So I want to 314 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 2: be healthy. I want to be out there, but not 315 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,480 Speaker 2: necessarily worried about what people other people think he did. 316 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,480 Speaker 3: Did you ask to go on into reserves that you'd 317 00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 3: have the should. 318 00:13:55,880 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 2: RESERVI it was a it was really a collective decision, 319 00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:01,800 Speaker 2: you know, it was leading up to it was something 320 00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 2: where when I when I got hurt after Philly, you know, 321 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 2: it was something we talked about, was potentially this could 322 00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,599 Speaker 2: be could need surgery, but it's just it's one of 323 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 2: those injuries. It's not a clear cut immediately, Oh you 324 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 2: gotta get surgery. It's it's kind of you want to 325 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:18,080 Speaker 2: see how it heals. It's not the most common to 326 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,680 Speaker 2: have this type of AC injury. Obviously AC joint injuries 327 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 2: are common, but the severity of this one's a little 328 00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 2: bit different. So it's it wasn't a clear cultor oh, 329 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 2: you gotta get surgery, and that was what was difficult. 330 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:29,120 Speaker 3: I didn't have a. 331 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,000 Speaker 2: Clear answer necessarily, so I had to wait and give 332 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 2: it time and bothered me for a while, and it 333 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 2: started to feel a little bit better, and I felt 334 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,800 Speaker 2: like I could go out there and compete and give 335 00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:41,240 Speaker 2: us a shot to win against Houston. So I did it, 336 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 2: and I was like, I want to at least I 337 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:44,800 Speaker 2: want to at least try. I want to I want 338 00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 2: to try to play and see how it feels. And 339 00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 2: then that Monday after the game, I'll reassess and see 340 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 2: if this is something I can continue for the rest 341 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,880 Speaker 2: of the season. And obviously the way the game went, 342 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 2: got knocked out with the concussion, and that added a 343 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:58,440 Speaker 2: whole other element. And after that and the severity of 344 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,000 Speaker 2: that hit the head, it was kind of like the 345 00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: smartest thing to do is I I knew at that 346 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:06,800 Speaker 2: point it wasn't getting that much better. The pain was 347 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: getting better, but just some of the other issues around 348 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 2: that area that it was causing. I knew I was 349 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 2: probably gonna have to get surgery. So we just decided 350 00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 2: that that was the best route because I was gonna 351 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,000 Speaker 2: be out a few weeks with the concussion, and I 352 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 2: think just to to give Mac the reins so he 353 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 2: can take it the rest of the season, have confidence 354 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 2: that he's gonna finish the year and not be in 355 00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,880 Speaker 2: limbo every week. Is it gonna be me? Is gonna 356 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 2: be Trevor? When I wasn't probably gonna be able to 357 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:34,200 Speaker 2: come back to finish the season anyway. So that's that's 358 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 2: kind of the whole process. 359 00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,360 Speaker 3: It was. It was tough. 360 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:38,880 Speaker 2: I mean just every week not knowing, hoping that I 361 00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:40,720 Speaker 2: feel better enough to get out there and not being 362 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:43,160 Speaker 2: able to do it was hard. And we felt like 363 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,200 Speaker 2: we just need to go ahead and get this fixed 364 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,239 Speaker 2: so I can start getting. 365 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:51,120 Speaker 3: Healthy again working out again. 366 00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:53,680 Speaker 2: It's good, you know, I don't know the exact timeline. 367 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:56,040 Speaker 2: I know I'm in this for two and a half 368 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,560 Speaker 2: three or a little less than three weeks, so a 369 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: six weeks in this and I'm a little past three 370 00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 2: right now, so once I can't wait to get all 371 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: this sling. But it's getting better. I'm starting to do 372 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: more more rehab on the shoulder, starting to move it 373 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 2: a little bit. 374 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:10,680 Speaker 3: So it's been good. 375 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 2: I think I'll definitely be good by the season, obviously, 376 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,760 Speaker 2: and I'm hoping for most OTAs too, but I don't 377 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,280 Speaker 2: know I can give you an exact Obviously, I'm gonna 378 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 2: be smart with it and not rushing too OTAs too quickly, 379 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 2: but it's not going to really affect too much of 380 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 2: the offseason, and hopefully I'll start being able to train 381 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,760 Speaker 2: in the next you know, a couple of months, train hard. 382 00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: You've been through some stuff going all the way back 383 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: to that rookie year. You understand the noise out there 384 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,760 Speaker 1: now to this place, the disappointment. Are you still confident 385 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 1: that you, guys, this should get fixed and accomplish what 386 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:52,800 Speaker 1: you want to do. And while you sign that long contract. 387 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:55,960 Speaker 2: I mean you look at you know the guys. We 388 00:16:56,040 --> 00:16:58,600 Speaker 2: have and we and we've done, We've we've played really 389 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 2: well together. I'm thinking just off offensively, you know, that's 390 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 2: more our responsibility is offensively and kind of that, I 391 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:06,640 Speaker 2: I know more the ins and outs of that than 392 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 2: you know, we've had a couple of different defensive coordinators 393 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 2: and so I'm not going to get into all the 394 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,879 Speaker 2: scheme on defense, but as far as offensively, I know 395 00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,399 Speaker 2: the the guys, we have, the playmakers, we have what 396 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 2: we've done, and we've added to that. You know, we've 397 00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 2: added BT in a lot of areas. Our lines improved 398 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,119 Speaker 2: over the years. Obviously a guy like Briton and Parker 399 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,640 Speaker 2: coming along, those young guys that are playing well, Travis Tank, 400 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:29,520 Speaker 2: I think that, you know, we have we have the 401 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 2: guys to do it. You know, we need to just 402 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 2: find more consistency. And I think that there's we need 403 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 2: to get some juice back in this place. It seems 404 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 2: like we've lost that in the past what year and 405 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 2: a half or so for whatever reason, and we got 406 00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 2: to get that back. And I think that's something that 407 00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 2: us as leaders and the team really have to look at. 408 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,680 Speaker 2: And we got to take our part too. This isn't 409 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 2: just a you know, you know, we fired coach Peterson, 410 00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 2: so now that's all on him, It's that's on us 411 00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,520 Speaker 2: as players too. We have to get that energy back. 412 00:17:55,560 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 2: We have to take our part of it too, because 413 00:17:57,119 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 2: we're the ones out there on the field playing, and 414 00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 2: I think that that's something where we can't just think 415 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:06,439 Speaker 2: just because some changes are made staff and everything around us, 416 00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:07,879 Speaker 2: that it's all going to fix. Where we have to 417 00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,679 Speaker 2: be the ones to really change our trajectory to be honest. 418 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,480 Speaker 2: So but I do have confidence and in the type 419 00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,679 Speaker 2: of people we have, the players we have, But this 420 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:19,399 Speaker 2: is a big off season and we have to really 421 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 2: we have to really dial in and like I said, 422 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: build that culture and become just a tough, hard nose, 423 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:26,320 Speaker 2: gritty team. 424 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:27,360 Speaker 3: I think we need more of that. 425 00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:31,119 Speaker 2: Three head coaches and five years helped up to that 426 00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:33,360 Speaker 2: for not just your development growth and put a team 427 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 2: in count It's not ideal, obviously, you want stability, you 428 00:18:36,920 --> 00:18:41,560 Speaker 2: want some consistency. But where we're at and then the 429 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 2: year we had, like I said, it's just it's kind 430 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 2: of the way it goes when you when you don't 431 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 2: have success and you don't win. So I'm hoping that, 432 00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,239 Speaker 2: you know, whatever the next situation is, it's it's it's 433 00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:55,240 Speaker 2: in place and that coach is here for a long time. 434 00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 2: So I think we all hope that and that's that's 435 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,840 Speaker 2: the best case moving forward, is to have the con 436 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 2: and the stability, something to build off of, consistent improvement, 437 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 2: and we all just want to win. You know, it's 438 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 2: been it's been four years and we've had some success, 439 00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,639 Speaker 2: but not enough, and we want consistency. And I know 440 00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 2: that's what it's what all you guys want. It's a 441 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:17,399 Speaker 2: lot more fun covering us more winning. I know that 442 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 2: is probably true for y'all, and I know for the 443 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,600 Speaker 2: fans it's a lot more fun to be a part 444 00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:23,639 Speaker 2: of it when you're winning. So we all want the 445 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:26,159 Speaker 2: same thing. We all got to put the work in, 446 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 2: though it's not just gonna happen overnight. You know, we 447 00:19:28,119 --> 00:19:31,280 Speaker 2: have to be willing to to to change and to 448 00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:34,359 Speaker 2: adapt and to as players take that responsibility and go 449 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,239 Speaker 2: do it here. 450 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,119 Speaker 3: Did you talk with Sean recently about the direction of 451 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,960 Speaker 3: the franchise, probably before Doug was let go. Yeah, I 452 00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 3: mean we talk. We check in pretty consistently. 453 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 2: I have great relationship with mister Kahn and yeah we Yeah, 454 00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:53,119 Speaker 2: we a few weeks ago we checked in and just 455 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,359 Speaker 2: kind of caught up on everything. And I try to 456 00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,440 Speaker 2: do that same thing with with Trent and even you know, 457 00:19:57,520 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 2: Coach when he was here. So I try to keep 458 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:02,960 Speaker 2: it open line of communication and just try my best 459 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 2: to really be on the same page. 460 00:20:05,119 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 4: So, yeah, what is your relationship with Trent and were 461 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 4: you surprised that it was just the coaching staff that changes. 462 00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:13,399 Speaker 2: As of now have been made to. 463 00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 3: Yeah. 464 00:20:15,440 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 2: I have a good relationship with Trent. You know, he's 465 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 2: always been upfront and honest with me. You know, we 466 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:25,200 Speaker 2: talk a decent amount. And I don't know, I don't 467 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:27,080 Speaker 2: know anything else because I haven't had a different GM 468 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,040 Speaker 2: or that relationship. But I feel like we have a 469 00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 2: pretty honest and open relationship. So it's been good, you know. 470 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,480 Speaker 2: I think that I don't know if surprise is the 471 00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:37,919 Speaker 2: right word. You never know how these things are going 472 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,399 Speaker 2: to go down. As far as even Monday, we just 473 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,760 Speaker 2: had our daughter, Shay too, So there's a lot going on. 474 00:20:43,880 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 2: And I see the news on Monday about coach getting fired, 475 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: and so there's just a lot. And I don't think 476 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,880 Speaker 2: I even thought of like, as well, is everybody gonna 477 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 2: get fired or what. It's just that's just what you 478 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,680 Speaker 2: see and you kind of react to it and you 479 00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:58,760 Speaker 2: go about your business and you try to just move forward. 480 00:20:58,840 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: So I don't really I wouldn't say surprise is the 481 00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 2: right word. I don't know, but I do feel like 482 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:07,000 Speaker 2: me and me and Sure have a good relationship. And 483 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,160 Speaker 2: that's that's none of that is my job. So it's 484 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 2: it's it's I think there's no sense in worrying about 485 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:17,119 Speaker 2: things that you can't control. I can control the relationship 486 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,440 Speaker 2: I have with him and trying to build that and 487 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,000 Speaker 2: continue to improve that and to stay communicating, especially in 488 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:24,480 Speaker 2: the off season. This is a big off season for us, 489 00:21:24,480 --> 00:21:26,560 Speaker 2: So I just want to be you talked about, be 490 00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 2: having a seat at the table. More than anything, I 491 00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 2: just want to have a great relationship with Trent, which 492 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,080 Speaker 2: I think we do, and then the new head coach 493 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 2: that comes in that as well and start that off 494 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:38,520 Speaker 2: on the right foot and just constant communication and and 495 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,920 Speaker 2: just I think that's the biggest thing is is that 496 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: relationship between quarterback, head coach and and coordinator whoever it is. 497 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:46,800 Speaker 2: That's that's important. So I just want to build on 498 00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:50,880 Speaker 2: that as early as possible. Awesome, Thank you guys.
