  Speaker 1: Drew. If last week was fun for you, was that? Oh,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: that was a lot of fun. That was I mean,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: it was more than fun. I can't find the right
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: word for it right now, but it was a blast, man.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: One of those one of those classic NFL games. You know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: besides the two minute drive in the first half, three
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: drives there a couple penalties stopped us scored on one
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: of them, and uh, man, hats off to our defense tonight,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you know, for us scoring seventeen again, I think that's
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: what we scored.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I just know we.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Scored a little bit more than they did, but for
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: them holding them what they did tonight, and that's a powerful,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: powerful offense who scores lots of points. And hats off
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to them.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Man, it sounds like you got emotional on the field
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: afterwards during the postgame interview. What would that emotion?
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Thousands of things, man, I couldn't. We'd be here all
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: night to talk about them all. But just uh, I
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: think it was just the over the over the top
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: feeling of you don't get very many moments, you don't
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: get very many opportunities in this league, and with every
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: opportunity you get, you need to be as ready as
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: you can be because you don't get a ton of them.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: And for us to come out tonight and play the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: way we did and get a win and one of
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: you know, two opportunities I had this year to start. Gosh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you know, I I was excited. You know, I was emotional.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I was emotional for myself, but I was emotional for
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: these guys in this locker room. You know, it's been
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: a rough couple of weeks. We needed to win. We
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: needed to win to pull us back, get our spirits
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: back up. And that's what we did here tonight as
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: a team. We did as a team. Is there any
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: one particular moment that maybe wasn't as obvious to us watching,
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: but that you experienced it will stick with you for
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a long time. Moments, Yeah, you know, at the quarterback position,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: you're supposed to, you know, assume good things to happen,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: so they're the One thing that's gonna stick with me
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: tonight is the deep ball to Tyler on the right
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: side of the field going left to right, if you're
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: on our sideline. Maybe not, Maybe we wouldn't have to
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: have the heroics at the end of the game if
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: we hit that one. But the story is not as cool,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: I guess, so, I guess we're glad we missed it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Sure you mentioned that play. I think you only up
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: about one hundred and twenty passing yards up until that
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: last drive. You didn't hit on that one to Tyler
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to come back and hit them one DK to get
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: you guys moving down there, hit them one at Jackson,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: colmaguine whether just getting that field in the moment you
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: were kind of thinking as a kind of what they played.
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Out, Yeah, I think. I think the thing that you know,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you always try to get to as a competitor is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: when you're out there on the big stage, the big moment,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: the two minute drive to go win the game, you're
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: just not thinking. You're just reacting. You know, you're using
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: all the training, all the instincts that you've gained from
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: when I was in third grade started playing football till
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: till right now, all the reps that we have in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: two minute drives in the indoor or I'm going against
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: the one defense on Wednesdays and Thursdays. So really, what
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: was I thinking? I wasn't. I was. I was just flowing,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: making making decisions with the ball, and guys are going
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: up and getting it, you know, guys are going to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: making places Jacks, d K Tyler, everybody all day the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: tight ends and not to mention our old line in
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: our backs. And I you know that that that being
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: able to run the ball like we did against that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: front and that defense is special to say the least.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: You see that on the thrower of Jackson.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: What just kind of takes us through the play. It
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: was actually sweet. Shane came back to that call. We
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: ran that call on the first third down, first drive,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: and uh, we didn't use the element of one on
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: one go ball to Jackson that we had man that
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: first time. But my plan going into it was we're
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: going to work the concepts side first first started down.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I get this call and uh, I'm breaking the huddle.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Shane gives me the little little reminded in the heads
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: of hey, don't forget Jack's one on one if you
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: got him all right, break the huddle. Jackson went out, Hey,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: you're getting the ball. You're getting the ball if you
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: get one on one here. Because we had already played
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: that front side. You know, who knows how they were
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: really going to play that concept that they kind of
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: seen and felt the same thing earlier in the game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: And sure enough they gave us one on one kind
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of the perfect look. We had an off corner. Jack's
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: kind of tempoted it off the ball and he hit
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: the jets and put that thing in the back corner.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: After that touchdown, the TV copy kind of caught you
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: with GEO looking at each other in the strap all
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the conversation, right, yeah, so, like, what what's your guys' relationship?
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Like how helpful has he been to you during the
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: two weeks. That's like an unsung hero in these last
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: two weeks. Man, The encouragement that he's given me, the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: little pep talks here and there, helping in the film room.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It just it was so cool that, like when Rolls
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: flipped and I was gonna have to go be the starter,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: he did the same thing for me that I was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: trying to do for him. That's just an unselfish dude
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: in there. Man. I appreciate him more than words can describe.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Talking to me before that two minute. You know, you're
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the best player on this field. You're gonna lead us
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: down this field right now, go get it done. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: just things like that. Man, It's it's really cool. This
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: is a really special quarterback room. Including Sean when he
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: came in here these last couple of weeks. Just a
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: savvy vetman, knows a lot about ball and it's really
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: comforting having him in the room. It's just an awesome group.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Drew when he when he won the job last year,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: you mentioned your relationship with him, how you guys were
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: pulling for each other, How important that was for you
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: there to see him in this moment over there, kind
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: of being right there along with your celebrating you when
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you get that, How good does that feel and know
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: that he's staying with you.
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: On that, Yeah, it was. It was just a full
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: circle moment for I think the both of us. You know,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: like I've said many times, and I'm up here, I
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: never want to be put in that position where I'm
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: looking to the sideline and seeing him, you know, like
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: that's he's the starter for this team. And that was
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: what we had playing going in the last season, what
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: we had playing going in this season. And I was
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: supposed to be there for him, you know, also see
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: helping him out. But unfortunate situation and for him, like
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I said, to reverse those roles and be my biggest
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: supporter out there. Man, that's really cool. It's really cool stuff.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: The way that Pete is spoken so confident about you.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: Going back to last year, everybody and use a couple
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: of diferentations. What is his confidence done for you in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: last two years?
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's got me back to being you know, more
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: of me, more of who I am, and that's a
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: confident guy that will go out there and sling the
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: ball around. Man. He gives me full confidence to go
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: be exactly who I am, and he preaches that all
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the time. Don't be more than who you are. Just
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: go out there and BEU because you're here for a reason.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: We want you here on this team. And when you
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: go try to do a little more, that's when you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: start acting out a character. And I think tonight was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: a great test of that, you know, with it kind
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: of being a slow game, not a lot of points.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I thought both sides of the ball, offense, defense, did
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: a great job of just staying relaxed and knowing as
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: long as there is a couple of seconds on the clock,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have a chance in this game. And sure
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: enough we left it with twenty eight twenty six left.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: So there's the pre game situation like not knowing that.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: You're working or Yeah, all throughout the week, it was,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: you know, knowing Gino's close, you know, so just prepare
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: like you're the starter. Prepare like you're gonna play, and
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: he's gonna do his workout and then we're gonna tell
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: you after that. And that was just the mindset going
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: into it. I mean, that's that's my job. It's what
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I signed up for, knowing and not knowing when I'm
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: gonna when I'm gonna have to step out there on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the field. And I appreciate the guys rallying around me. Man,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: It's a really special group and I just couldn't be
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: more proud of everybody tonight.
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: You find out that you were gonna start.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: A little bit before kickoff. Today DJ had.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: One catch for eight yards the first things first three
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: quarters for him to come up with not one, not
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: a three huge catch on that final dry was it
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: say about him kind of putting the pass the game
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: on his shoulders.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: They to give you guys a chance to Yeah, I
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: appreciate you know, him trusting me. I put that ball
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: load to him on the omaha or on the out
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: route down on the red zone, and I went up
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: to him and like my batman. He goes, man, quit
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: apologizing to me, just go out there and play. I'm like, okay,
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: all right, you're right, I'm going out there. We're just
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: gonna ball. We're just gonna sling this thing around. And
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: sure enough. You know, I appreciate him keeping his composure
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: throughout the night because you know, you know, him, being him,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: he should want the ball every play. And when you're
• 8:34
