1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Good. How are you guys. Good to see you guys

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: in person. Do y'all have any questions? Yeah? Yeah, I

3
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 1: think every season, um, in football is a new season,

4
00:00:21,720 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 1: and people come and go and get opportunities, players, coaches,

5
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,320
Speaker 1: support staff, So it comes with the business. And um,

6
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 1: I was fortunate to have a lot of different coordinators

7
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: um throughout my college time kind of running a similar system.

8
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: But I just learned from that and take what you know,

9
00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: the good from people that that gave me the good,

10
00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 1: and take that with me and then uh, just move

11
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: on and try and grow with the the new set

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: of coaches we have. And we have a great group

13
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: of players and coaches, and like I said, it comes

14
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,400
Speaker 1: with the territory um of playing this sport. And I'm

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:53,559
Speaker 1: happy for Josh and his family and we're excited to

16
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, open up the next chapter. M hmm. Yeah,

17
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: I think. Um, you know, I got a chance to

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:06,760
Speaker 1: see him last year in training camp practices and all that,

19
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,319
Speaker 1: and um, he's done a great job coaching us and

20
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:11,360
Speaker 1: he's seen a lot of football. I mean, obviously he's

21
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,520
Speaker 1: been around football for a long time or that be

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,039
Speaker 1: as a head coach special teams, you know, playing the

23
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: position himself. So he has knowledge that is very beneficial

24
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 1: to me as a quarterback, and um, obviously I'm gonna

25
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,959
Speaker 1: learn with him. That's the goal is to kind of,

26
00:01:25,080 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, teach each other and move along and take

27
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,039
Speaker 1: what he knows and then take the experiences that I

28
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: have and combine them and work together as a great team.

29
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,680
Speaker 1: And obviously we have you know, him and Hoyer and

30
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: m Bailey's we have a great group of guys that

31
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: can you know, come together, um and work together in

32
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:48,760
Speaker 1: that room. Seems like yeah, yeah, uh, you know, obviously

33
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,120
Speaker 1: he's a great defensive mind, but he also has great

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: offensive knowledge and um, you know they're all helping out

35
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: and making things really easy for us and just teaching

36
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: us what they know. Um. It's been really good just

37
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 1: to be able to, you know, stand up in the

38
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: meetings and talk through things with everybody, and everyone's on

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: the same page, um, regardless of who's talking or who's

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 1: saying what. So we have a very good group of guys.

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: I think it's obviously always about the players, and um,

42
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: having a great coaches is obviously very beneficial too. But

43
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: we have a great group of guys and old guys,

44
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:21,200
Speaker 1: young guys, so we're excited to kind of come together

45
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: and and work. Yeah. Um yeah, I think every year

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: you want to do like a self diagnosis of how

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:36,760
Speaker 1: you felt for the games, you know, your body fat,

48
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff, And for me, just clean out my diet.

49
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 1: And I've learned more of this offseason, um than I

50
00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 1: probably ever have about nutrition, sleep, wellness, all that stuff.

51
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:49,440
Speaker 1: So I'm kind of taking what I learned that you know,

52
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: I feel will help me and apply it. And then

53
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: obviously listening to Ted and everybody, um, just following their plan,

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: eating healthy, taking out you know a lot of the

55
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: things that are bad for my diet. But the same time,

56
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 1: I need to maintain my weight and be able to

57
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: take hits. So there's a fine balance for every player.

58
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,959
Speaker 1: Every player is different, And for me, I've definitely trimmed

59
00:03:07,960 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: down on the body fat a little bit and then

60
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I'll get a chance to bulk back up and before

61
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: the season starts and being able to absorb the hits. Yeah,

62
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,799
Speaker 1: I think that's something I also worked on a lot.

63
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:30,079
Speaker 1: Was this my knowledge of you know, quarterback mechanics and stuff.

64
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,760
Speaker 1: Obviously a lot of it you know, goes into training

65
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 1: your arm the right way and learning about that, and

66
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: you know, I had good knowledge on that, but you

67
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 1: can never have too much knowledge. So a lot of

68
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: it's just training my arm a certain way, recovery all

69
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: that stuff, and my body feels good. There's nothing lingering

70
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,640
Speaker 1: or any bad injuries or anything. So I'm blessed with that.

71
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 1: And like you said, I mean everything stays the same.

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,960
Speaker 1: I feel a lot better. I'm just trying to work

73
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: and you know, be the best quarterbacking can be right

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: now because we're not going against anybody besides are defense,

75
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: and it's important to focus on yourself a little bit

76
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,119
Speaker 1: and also be a great teammate. So those two things,

77
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: it's like we're talking to join. Yeah, at which you

78
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: guys like to have that operation kind of streamlined. Um,

79
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: I think right now it's all about learning and first

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,280
Speaker 1: day you come out and you set a baseline. You know, UM,

81
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,880
Speaker 1: fix the things that you want to fix. And like

82
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: I said, they all have great knowledge of our offense

83
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: and we're all on the same page. So that's the

84
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 1: important part to me. Um, there's no fall off or

85
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 1: anything like that, and it's not my decision to make

86
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: and we have plenty of time for all that. So UM,

87
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: right now, it's about the guys, you know, and I

88
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,840
Speaker 1: getting on the same page running back, tight ends, receivers

89
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: and then working with offensive line, um, doing some things

90
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:49,600
Speaker 1: with them, just to make sure we're on the same page.

91
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: So it always goes back to the players and we're

92
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,040
Speaker 1: excited to you know, grow together, um and learn from

93
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: you know, whoever's coaching us. We don't We don't mind anybody.

94
00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: It looked like you were working on your both there

95
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 1: or you had to practice by your felt Yeah, um, yeah,

96
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:08,279
Speaker 1: I worked on you know, throwing the ball. I think deep, short,

97
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: intermediate doesn't really matter. Uh, there's ways to improve looking

98
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 1: back in college and things like that, things I did

99
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: well or whatever. But um, it all comes back to

100
00:05:17,080 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: just fine tuning each throw and whether it's short, intermediate,

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: or long. You want to be able to do all

102
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,840
Speaker 1: of them all the time. And I tried to throw

103
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: in the offseason in all conditions and you know, increase

104
00:05:28,279 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: my knowledge on that, um, and just go out there

105
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 1: and get a feel for it and understand the wind,

106
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: the rains, snow, whatever it may be. Um, So I'm

107
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,919
Speaker 1: ready to go and just it's a learning experience, you know,

108
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: being um, you know, the quarterback here you have to

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: be able to play in those elements and you have

110
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: to be able to complete passes in those elements. So I,

111
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 1: you know, challenge myself with that and every day, UM,

112
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: there's a new challenge, so your quarterback. And I guess, yeah,

113
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: we had a great group of rookies. UM. You know,

114
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: it made me look back a year ago and realize

115
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: how thankful I am to be here um on in

116
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 1: a great organization. UM. And obviously we have great players

117
00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,680
Speaker 1: from that rookie class. They've come in and work hard.

118
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 1: You can see him out there trying to win the

119
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: sprints and doing all that stuff. So we had a

120
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: good group, and we're happy to have Bailey obviously had

121
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,279
Speaker 1: a great college career. UM. And he provides good knowledge

122
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: from his experience. Uh. And I'll always you know, be

123
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,760
Speaker 1: able to help him and mentor him anyway I can.

124
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,280
Speaker 1: And I was fortunate to learn from Howyer last year

125
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: as a rookie. And you know, hopefully me and Hoyer

126
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: can help Bailey out any way possible and help him develop,

127
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 1: you know to where you know, he feels like he's

128
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,479
Speaker 1: a better quarterback. And we have a great group right now,

129
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: and I'm really excited to work with you know, those

130
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: guys in our coaches social media. Oh man, I'm just curious. Yeah. Um,

131
00:06:52,120 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: you know, I got a chance to work with a

132
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 1: lot of different people. Um, you know, and it was

133
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: a good experience. You know. Any like I said, any

134
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: throws short enemeat along you want to get better at

135
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:02,719
Speaker 1: and you want to have people that have knowledge of

136
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,159
Speaker 1: the game. Um. And he did a great job, you know,

137
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 1: helping me there. And obviously I worked with people I've

138
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: worked with since I was very very young. Um. But

139
00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, you're out there by

140
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: yourself and um, you're the quarterback and that's what you

141
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: want to be able to do is go out there

142
00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: and feel comfortable doing what you want to do and

143
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 1: continue to grow. Yeah. Yeah, Jody, Yeah, he's like a

144
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's more like a dad or

145
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: a brother, but he's just someone I've always leaned on, um,

146
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: just for advice. And he's obviously coached at a very

147
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: high level, whether that be at Oklahoma's offensive coordinator or wherever.

148
00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:42,880
Speaker 1: But he's helped me since I was eight years old.

149
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: And um, we're more you know, friends as a friend

150
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,560
Speaker 1: relationship and will always be you know, best bud, so

151
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 1: I you know, I appreciate him, and obviously the group

152
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:54,120
Speaker 1: of coaches we have here, Um, I lean on them

153
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: and learn from them. So I'm a sponge. I like

154
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: to take the knowledge from people who have done it,

155
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: people have played position, and UM learn as much as

156
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: I can. Well, you know, I'm still developing. Yeah, what's

157
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 1: the difference between the end of last year point this year. Yeah, Um,

158
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,520
Speaker 1: in terms of like team chemistry and stuff, I think

159
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: we've made leaps and bounds there. Just as a rookie

160
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: you come in, you're kind of thrown in and everything.

161
00:08:25,920 --> 00:08:27,960
Speaker 1: You know, all the plates are hot, you know, so

162
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 1: you kind of just try and find your feet. But um,

163
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,839
Speaker 1: now this offseason, this past you know offseason and right now,

164
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: we've just built a great relationship with the offensive line,

165
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,719
Speaker 1: the receivers, hanging out together, just doing things together off

166
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: the field because at the end of the day, we're

167
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: all friends. We work together. Um, we want to play

168
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,720
Speaker 1: for one another and that's important to me. That's why

169
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 1: football is the best team sport. You know. You can

170
00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,800
Speaker 1: take a guy like Kendrick who brings energy every day

171
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: and then we have them over for habachi party or something.

172
00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: So you know, it's just fun, like we always hang

173
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,440
Speaker 1: out and have fun and you know, talk talk and

174
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: all that, and um it just builds builds for you know, Sundays.

175
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:09,200
Speaker 1: Your final question, Yeah, I think, Um, I'm really happy

176
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: with the group we have. I got a chance to

177
00:09:10,720 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: work with all of them and the off season at

178
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: job coming in working in a new system. He has

182
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:27,000
Speaker 1: some familiarity, you know with the Dolphins and all that,

183
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: but um, we're happy to have him and anybody that
