  Speaker 1: What's up? Why did go feeling? It was good to
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: be back on the field, especially at home start to
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: the year off, being around the guys, and especially for us,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: you know, going through thrain training camp, competing against each other,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it was an opportunity for us to go competing against
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: somebody else. So it's a it's a lot of fun.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: It's good to feel the the energy for our fans,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: especially just being game one a preseason, So I'm excited
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: for the season to keep on rolling and we're getting
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: closer to our preyer game. You told us, you told
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: us a couple days ago, your decisiveness is the key
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to being decisive. How do you think that went for
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you tonight? Yeah? I think every player that I have
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: the ball in my hands all about being decisive, trusting
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: in the game, playing, trusting in close flurry, whatever play
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: call you had, and putting our offense in the best
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: position to be successful. And so I think that was
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: key it out the whole game. And of course, like
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: this is a preseason game, Number one is for like,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: there's always things we can clean up, there's always things
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: we can do positive and even if we came out victoria,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: there things that we can improve on, get better, And
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: so that's the exciting part about preseason and getting opportunity
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to play today, and so, uh the biggest thing just
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: to build on today and build on and going into
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: our next opponent. Especially the first half you took out
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: for a hundred a few times you got some big games.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Was that was that kind of definces us to want
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: to try to do that at this game at all
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: or not necessarily. I think every time I have the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: ball in my hands, it's all about putting our offense
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: in the best position to win. And whether it's passing,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: whether it's running, or it's handling the ball off, so
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: many areas to our offense that UH can can beat
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: a defense. And so every opportunity we have to move
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the change, we're gonna do it in unique ways. And
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: that was just one one way to do it. What's
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Brian Flurry like in a game? How does it give
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you feedback? Yeah? I think what's unique about having a
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: play call on the field, you can get direct dialogue
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: as far as what he's seeing, players that are gonna
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: set up during the drive. You know, of course we
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: have the eye pass. We're able to see exactly what
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: covers you know structure and things that they can have,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: and then the set up plays and so it's the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: communication to moving forward, right Like of course you watch
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the tape of what exactly went down on that drive,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: So now it's the moving forward aspect of uh, looking
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: at how we can attack the defense. How did the
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: speed up the game feel today versus last year? Were
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you pleased with how you were able to use your
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: legs to scrabble? Never please you? Know? Of course there's
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: so many opportunity to grow as a quarterback in this league,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and so I think for all of us in the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: locker room, it's like, how can we be better than
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we work this weekend? And today was a great opportunity
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: for us to putting a display, uh, the hard work
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: that we've been doing during the week and so of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: course we were gonna learn and grow and get better. What
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: we will can a quarterback take in terms of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: team finishing and the red zone without pressing you, then
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: that's key. I think when you're in the red zone,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: we need to come out on points, you know, whether
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: it's a feel goal, whether it's a touchdown. Coming out
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: with points is so important, especially helping our defense out
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: and putting putting points on the board. It is so important.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna being critical when we play tough opponents.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: You know, when we're trailing in the game, whether we're
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: uh in the in the lead, it just really just
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: finishing drives. So I think that's another emphasis for us
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: is finishing drives. Locatory Fosters didn't really playing in camp
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: all summer. Now he's the leading receiver in this game.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Is what are you seeing from Amberson t higher? I
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: think a growth mindset, a mindset to grow each and
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: every day that he has opportunity to be on the field.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: I think also their approach that he takes, whether it's preparing,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: whether it's playing a different position, the X to Z
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: at F like being verstatile so coach can use it
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: on the field. And so I think that's something that
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: I applaud him on, is that he's been bursted around
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: the field of playing all positions. If you ever played
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in a game like that where the quarterbacks were rotating
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: that way rather than just spending one guy playing for
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: a certain amount of times and the other one coming in,
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: and what were your thoughts on that. I think as
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: a backup, you have to be prepared or ready to
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: go at any at a at any point, it's not
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: my person time being a backup, and so I think
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: reps are so important for me Andrew and for any
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: guy that's a backup because in the league, you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the starter gets majority of the reps. So as many
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: rests that we can get as much as possible gonna
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: prepare us and help us out for whenever the opportunity
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: comes that we play in the game. And so I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: don't see as a negative. I think there's this opportunity
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: for us to get reps, and preseason is big for
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: us because during the season, once you have a established starter,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: you know your your your reps are cut short. You
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: tools post Robtory and Arnold that you cover are down.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Now it's gonna happen that you've been able to get him.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: What are your thoughts, of course, yeah, of course that's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: that's my dog, and I'm very happy that he's going
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to be a Sea Hawk. I think now it's just
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: showing him the way of how we do things, and
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: I think that's now to move forward process. You know,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: the process was trying to figure out where he's gonna go.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: So now he's a Hawk, and so we're just gonna
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: emphasize what we do is you know as being here
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: in Seattle and emphasizing our theme, our mottos, and our
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: team mission and goals. And so now it's a running
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: forward mentality with having them a part of our team.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You think people should know about tarry On? I think
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: I think number one is that he's committed. When he
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: has goal set for him, he wants to achieved him
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: and he's gonna put his all into everything he puts
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: into it. This is someone that's uh, really cared about
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: his teammates. He's really unique as far as what he
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: can do in the field. And uh, he's gonna really
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: love the culture that we have here because it's similar
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: to the vibe that we had when we were in college.
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: How is going through overs doing good? He's doing good.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He concided for the opportunity, and uh, he's really gonna
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: seize it when he gets here. Here he else, Thanks sir,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Thanks
