• 0:03
  Speaker 1: What was this What was it like for you, Drew
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: that I guess find it out maybe Thursday and night
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: that you were maybe getting help to start or wearing
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: or Yeah, it's something you always gotta be ready for,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: something that you know, over the last year and a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: half hasn't happened too often. Gino has been, you know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: sturdy as a rock, and that's just who he is
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: as a player, and this this week, it just so happened.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: And you know, I was gonna take a couple of
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: reps on Thursday and Friday and come out here and
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: play football. Felt good to man, It felt good to
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: finally be back out there. I know, the uh, the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: results not what we wanted, but it had been a
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: been a while since I had gone out there and
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: done that, and it felt felt really good. Particular right
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I got I think that was yeah, pretty your first
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: starting a time got hard time. Yeah, it was, Uh,
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: that was awesome. That was an awesome feeling. We just
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: kept capitalizing on the uh opportunities they gave us on
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: that drive and I thought DK made a heck of
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a catch on that play and got around run around
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: a little bit running game. Guys were blocking great and
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you had to go down, you know, after you don't
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: get the ball to start to start the game, and
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: then they get seven. It's a big, big thing for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: us to go down and get points on that drive.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: And think for us to do that the first drive,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: get a little confidence in the guys. I think that
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: was big for us. After the d work, did they
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: start covering and maybe a little bit of work at
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: that point, Yeah, they started changing things up a bit.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: I think with seven on the field, they were gonna
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: be more you know, prone to playing a little more
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: man against us. And then sure enough he goes out
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and they started playing a bunch of zones, a bunch
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: of two high zones and uh clouding him a little bit,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: giving a little extra help. And I mean that that's
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: to be expected with that guy. And it definitely changed
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a little bit of what they were doing overall. Obviously turnovers.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: Can't have him left that ball inside on the uh
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: long ball to DK. Put that to the sideline, let
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: him run underneath. It could be a big play for us.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: The last one just is what it is. But you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I thought I used my legs well, thought I got
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the ball to a lot of different guys today. Spread
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: it around. Made the big players when they were there,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: stayed confidence, stay calm. Nothing nothing threw me off the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: rocker today and that that that was. Man, it was
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a blast being out there again. Trying not to I'm
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: trying to balance the feeling of man, I just finally
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: played again and how good that feels to go out
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: and play, and then also you know, also not getting
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: getting it done. So it's interesting. But you know, I
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: I did have fun with those guys out there. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: thought they came out and played their butts off. Though
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the line did a great job at night, and when
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: guys got the ball in their hands, man, they made
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: plays that school got hurt and they go to the
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: too high what was it counting the were trying to
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: get some recruit Yeah, I know, and uh we ran
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the ball in that second half. They were popping off
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: big runs. That was big for us. We wanted to,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you know, in the play action game kind of get
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: play action calls that attack the safeties a little bit more,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: knowing that they were gonna probably cloud us and not
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: give us the single high looks that you know, we
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: had prepared for a little bit. But it was easy.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It was a quick switch Shane did a great job tonight.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the way he called that game too. Man.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: He let me do a lot of things that you know,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: with the first guy coming out there playing in a
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: long time, you can get a little get a little
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: scared in the play calling, and he was not that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: way with me and I and I I appreciate him
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: for doing that. If you do end up starting next
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: week against Philadelphia, what from this game would you take away,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: good or bad that you can use in that game
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: That I can still play football. You know, I can
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: still go out there and do it. It's been a
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: long time before since I've started the game. You know,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I can confident in my legs, confident in the deep ball,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: confident just drop back and living in the pocket. It's
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: just confident. Then I'm an NFL quarterback. I guess I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: could take that away and take that into the next
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: week when and if I do get the chance. The
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: the fesso to to to park in something is that
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: some of you guys are put in this week or
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: is that what you guys have had or yeah, we've
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: had it, We've tweaked it, changed it a little bit
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: and brought it back this week it's a fan favorite
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. We liked it this week, and
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: I'm glad it worked out the way to glad Coleby
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: got that one did not have any it many exposive
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: run to the second half compacked you that of a thing.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, i'd I can think of two plays myself
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that I know I could have impacted us better. On
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: one the pick and then our uh first drive where
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: we went two incompletions on first down, second down coming
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: ride out of half, I think or the second drive
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: we could add ten explosive runs that would have helped.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: But I know those two plays right now in my head.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Two completions were there for me on the field, didn't
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: get to the right guy, and we could've converted those
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: and got into a got into a rhythm on a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: drive coming out of half. Is there a dis communication
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on the first pig? No, no, no, I just left
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: it inside. That was made a guy running across DK
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: taking the top off. He gave us a single high
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: look corners outside safety is in safeties in the middle,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: corner outside, put it over the corner's head to the sideline,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: didn't get it done, left it inside safety got it
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: so it was it so, I I guess late in
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: the weeks certainly having to maybe prepare us to start
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: right now. Is that any more of a challenge or
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: are you just kind of give it? Is that or
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: not necessarily? Like I said, I try to prepare every
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: single week like I am the starter. You know, maybe
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: a little more work with you know, Tyler and DK
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: and Jack's throwing them a couple extra balls, working with
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: the old line on Cadence a little more. It's just
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: the little small details, I guess is to the things
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: that you gotta add on to your plated towards the end,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: where if you just get thrown into a game, it's alright,
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: I gotta know what I'm doing, What are my players?
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: What am I doing this week? It was a little
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: more of the little minor details of you know, like
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I said, communicating with the old line, extra throws, the
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Tyler in DK, just those things. If you said you
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: felt like shame sort of kept things open for you,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: what do you mean by that? I just know that
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: you got a guy that hasn't started a game in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a long time come out with a couple of runs round,
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: run round. No, we've came out and took some play
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: action shots to touch down. Play action shot, let me
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: drop back, let me run around. I just appreciate him,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: let me go out and do the things that I'm
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: really really good at. How amcording? Is that actually your
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: confidence with those to make the most plays? I mean
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: calling the place yeah, to allow you to play. Yeah,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: it's huge when you hear those play calls coming to
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: the headset. Like you said, it does give you confidence. Alright,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: I'm we're play action shot right here. He trusts me
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: to get the ball to the right place, check it
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: down if it's not there, and it just does. It
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: does give you a lot of confidence. I was, like
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: I said, I appreciate the way you call that game
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: and the fourth and two where you just first enf
• 6:54
