  Speaker 1: Jay, you just kind up, I guess, assess the whole night,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: the in in general, just.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: How you feel like a way, Well, number one, what
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: a dream come true to play my first NFL game
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: in Looming Field. I think the best, the best thing
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: for all of us is just theory group, but also
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: just build on you know, this game. I think that's
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: so important as you go on in any journey, you
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: have to start somewhere, and so now with that you're
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: able to look upon what we did well what we
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: didn't and just try to build a build upon that,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: just go one percent better as we have this opportunity.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: So but for me it was just it was just
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: awesome just to be in Looming Field. That's my first
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: time here in the stadium. So now the biggest thing
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: just keep on building and just see every opportunity is
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a for us to just get better.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows about you're running. Are you surprised quind kobaks
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: running you as much in practice? Is it even tonight?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Nah, I'm not really uh surprised about that. That's definitely
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: a weapon that will be utilized now or even in
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: the future against defenses. You know how much of a
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: threat it is against defense when you're able to throw
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: in run. So I just know, no matter what game
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: planning it is, utilizing the in the passing game and
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: the running game is gonna beneficial for.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Us the fourth down player. If you could think about
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it again, what would you assess that?
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think for us as player is all about execution.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: We failed to execute on that play, no matter what
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: play called is. You know, as as it's all about execution.
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: And so we have our opportunity to regroup and watch,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: to watch the tape and see what exactly that I.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Could have done on my part. But of course in.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: Completion, you're gonna look at how can we be better
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: on that play? And so I the best thing for
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: me as a quarterback is the coach trusting me on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: fourth down to make a play. And so I just
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: give thanks to coach Kubiak coach McDonald because they kept
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: our offense on the field and allow us to have
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to advance downs. And so that's part of
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: playing football. You're gonna have success, you're gonna have failed years.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: So it's all about regrouping and understanding what we need
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: to do so that we can execute when we have
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: those opportunities and then decide to yeah it's possible. Yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: so I had the threat of throwing and running. So
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: as as I assess, you know, the tape when that comes,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: i'll see if what was what was best for us
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: on offense.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: But I had the opportunity.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Would you what do you think of the touchdown drive
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: as a whole working your way down there making a
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: couple of throws on their.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Half of the field. Yeah, for sure.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: It takes all eleven of us completely, and that's something
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: that's special as an offense. When we're all on the
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: same accordion, you can do a lot of special things.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: And it's about building on the play before that and
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: stacking good drives. You know, that's important thing when you
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: regroup on the sideline is how can we be efficient?
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: How can we take care of the ball, How can
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we advance downs? How can we communicate the best we can?
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: And if we do that, that's gonna push us to
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: go on to have scoring drive like that. And so
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: you know it's it's preseason number one. You can't hang
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: your hat on one game, and so now it's about regrouping.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: We have a great opportunity ahead of us with practicing.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: But you know that's just definitely something that we want
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to do continuously, is just build those the driving score,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: whether it's.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: That drive or in the first half one Drew is playing.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: How much were you sensing the run game really helping
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: drive this? Yeah.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: I think when you have all elements of our offense clicking.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: Whether it's the run game or the passing.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: Game, it complements each other because when you have the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: threat of the run, you have so much that comes
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: with game planing. It comes comes with stopping our running backs,
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: even when our quarterback have to scramble, and so as
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we keep pushing and moving forward, it's all about executing
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: what the play call it is asked of us. But
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: I know the running game is gonna beneficial with the
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: backs that we have.
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Just before Jaccrti is touchdown.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Two plays before that, you had a completion to broaden
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: what you were rolling out.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: It seems like you two have really developed a strong chemistry.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: The football fest had touched down to him, But what
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: do you see from him and what has really clicked
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: with with him? With you both being real key.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Here, I think it's the work in the dark first
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: meeting him at Ricky mienning camp and we do walk
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: throughs at the facility at the hotel constantly. The communication
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: is so important and so it's all about the trust
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: factor from quarterback to receiver. And it comes with reps,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: you know, in communication and so with the time frame
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of us being Seahawks and we have so many reps
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: of throwing the ball down the field in the quick game,
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: all over the over the field, and so it's all about,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: you know, building that relationship. And that's number one, and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: so I know that we're just gonna keep building from here.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: But that's someone amongst all the r receivers, but that's
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: someone that has been around me a lot when it
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: comes to communication.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And also having rest with you've been playing with Robbie,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: you's for a while now. Have you seen him take
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: it on this full back role and you have some
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: key boughts today. What have you seen out of him?
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: You can trust Robbie.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: That's number one. This guy that's gonna put his head
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: down and work. It's not a guy that's too vocal,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: but he's someone that you can trust. And it's someone
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: that really cares about his teammates and he's gonna put
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: his best foot forward no matter where it is, and
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: he can play everywhere with his full back tight end.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He's someone that's trustworthy. He's gonna work hard, he's gonna try,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: he's gonna remain grounded, humble, and so I'm just thankful
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: cause he's such a great teammate. I was able to
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: play at Alabama with him for four years, and so
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: now the opportunity to be here in the NFL with
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: him is something that I don't take for granted.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You take us through what you saw in the last
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: uh third.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Down, ten second, Yeah, I think you know.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: We regrouping on uh on that play.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Uh of course can't take sacks, but build on tomorrow
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: we'll see exactly what took place. But yeah, he can't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: take take sacks in a game where they're throwing the
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: ball away or trying to find our checkdowns. But we
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: will assess, you know, as I look at the tape
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: and regroup from it.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: Dream come trip player, first game, Yes I do.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Uh so I have my immediate fan here and
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: then my uncle and auntie.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: The the long run you had, I think it looks
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: like a zone, Bree. Is that a good example of
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: how you can help with this team? Like right away,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: even though Sam this is obviously can start.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's definitely one of the one of the ways
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I could definitely help. You know, I know that there's
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: definitely a threat when it comes to being able to
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: do both when it's pass and run against defenses, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: so any opportunity that I have to go on the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: field and execute, I'm gonna.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Do at the best level. You know.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: That's something that I've talked to our coaches is about
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: and put them my best before and keep on uh
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: building on the day before. So whether it's no matter
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: where it is, I'm just gonna keep on, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: attacking the game plan and attacking what exactly. You know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: that's that's necessary for me to be the best version
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: of myself. So I know there's gonna be a opportunity
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to play, and I know it's gonna be opportunities for
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: us to do some amazing things on offense. But it's
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: all about, you know, just keep on building, keep on
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: building and attacking each day that I have. As i'm'a seahok,
