Speaker 1: Give us a holistic picture. Then, since I guess we
0:02
Speaker 1: talked to you like two weeks ago, kind of what
0:04
Speaker 1: you've seen, highlights, things to build upon.
0:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I think it's been a really productive training camp.
0:11
Speaker 3: You know.
0:12
Speaker 2: Part of it is obviously you wanna as a competitor,
0:14
Speaker 2: you want to win every play, win every rep, and
0:17
Speaker 2: have a great day walking off the field as an
0:19
Speaker 2: offense feeling like you had a good day. And we've
0:21
Speaker 2: definitely had some of those days. But we've also had
0:23
Speaker 2: days where defense has punched us in the mouth a
0:25
Speaker 2: little bit. They've given us some tough looks, some stuff
0:27
Speaker 2: that is really going to help us. So I think
0:30
Speaker 2: it's been a really good back and forth. It's exciting
0:33
Speaker 2: for me knowing the challenge that our defense has presented
0:36
Speaker 2: to us. It gets me excited for the regular season
0:38
Speaker 2: when we're all on the same team and knowing that
0:40
Speaker 2: that's the defense other people are gonna face.
0:43
Speaker 3: I think that gets me excited.
0:44
Speaker 2: Then offensively, some of the things I know we wanted
0:46
Speaker 2: to work on, whether it's run game, pass game, just
0:51
Speaker 2: staying on schedule details, all these different things. That's kind
0:54
Speaker 2: of generic, but the stuff that I felt like we
0:56
Speaker 2: really need to improve on from last year, include myself.
0:59
Speaker 2: I do think we've taken big steps in those areas.
1:01
Speaker 2: Every day has not been perfect, not been clean necessarily,
1:05
Speaker 2: but a lot to learn from.
1:06
Speaker 3: And I think that's what camp's about.
1:08
Speaker 2: And you want that competitive spirit and you want to
1:10
Speaker 2: go back and forth, and I think the guys have
1:11
Speaker 2: done a really good job of that.
1:13
Speaker 3: I think a larger.
1:13
Speaker 4: Sense last week that the windows are tighter with this
1:17
Speaker 4: defense comparatively, just described that for you maybe the first
1:21
Speaker 4: few practices, was it kind of a jolt of like, whoa,
1:24
Speaker 4: this is a little bit different than previous years.
1:26
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's really it's really good to practice against that.
1:28
Speaker 2: You know, one not everyone plays that way, Like there's
1:30
Speaker 2: different philosophies on defense, but when you when you go
1:33
Speaker 2: against our defense that does play that way, it's very
1:35
Speaker 2: physical on the outside. There's no air, there's no cushion
1:39
Speaker 2: for the most part. You know, obviously they adjust and
1:40
Speaker 2: they have different looks. But timing has to be perfect,
1:43
Speaker 2: landmarks have to be perfect. Communication between myself and the
1:47
Speaker 2: receivers or tight ends or whoever is critical because the
1:50
Speaker 2: windows are you know, way smaller because they got there,
1:53
Speaker 2: they're getting matched on different things where usually you're expecting
1:57
Speaker 2: this play versus soft coverage, or you have some space
2:00
Speaker 2: to run, you know, different things. It presents challenges where
2:03
Speaker 2: it makes us look at our system too and certain
2:05
Speaker 2: plays back all right, this play is not great against that,
2:07
Speaker 2: or maybe we want to motion it this way or whatever.
2:10
Speaker 3: You know.
2:10
Speaker 2: I think it really makes you look at the full
2:12
Speaker 2: picture and see how you can get better because you're
2:15
Speaker 2: not just getting you know, off coverage where you can
2:17
Speaker 2: just run and get off the line and do whatever
2:19
Speaker 2: you want. You know, they challenge you, and I think
2:20
Speaker 2: that is good for us to see, especially in.
2:22
Speaker 3: Camp, victorating preseason and just walking away healthy, having.
2:28
Speaker 2: Players healthy, that's a huge win. It's walking away healthy now.
2:31
Speaker 2: I do think that the work is really important and
2:34
Speaker 2: making it count and getting good reps and learning from
2:36
Speaker 2: them and making the corrections, and especially for younger guys,
2:41
Speaker 2: but not just younger guys, guys that are newer to
2:42
Speaker 2: the system or to the team or whatever.
2:44
Speaker 3: It is just.
2:44
Speaker 2: Getting up to speed and correcting some of the mistakes
2:48
Speaker 2: that happened early on. And I have seen all the
2:50
Speaker 2: guys do that, including myself, Like obviously I've made some
2:52
Speaker 2: mistakes too. In training camp, and that's what it's about,
2:54
Speaker 2: is getting those things ironed out, whether it's timing, whether
2:58
Speaker 2: it's just you're gonna have where some days just the
3:01
Speaker 2: ball doesn't come off my hand quite the way I
3:03
Speaker 2: want it to. And then get working through that stuff,
3:04
Speaker 2: the timing with the guys, anticipation, protection stuff up front,
3:08
Speaker 2: communicating with Mitch, who's obviously new. I think that is
3:11
Speaker 2: a win too, is really getting on the same page
3:13
Speaker 2: throughout training camp with all the looks. But I mean, honestly,
3:17
Speaker 2: most important thing is staying healthy because you got to
3:19
Speaker 2: have all your guys.
3:20
Speaker 3: I'm like, where you doing? How much into a good time?
3:23
Speaker 3: Is Mac Jones having on this kind of scene, Max
3:27
Speaker 3: having a great time.
3:27
Speaker 2: I'm sure you guys have seen, Uh Max fun to
3:30
Speaker 2: be around.
3:31
Speaker 3: Man. He's uh, he's just bubbly, you know. Loves football.
3:34
Speaker 2: That's like like the best way to describe him, like this, bubbly,
3:37
Speaker 2: you know, loves football, loves being out here. The guys
3:40
Speaker 2: respond great to him, you know, but he has he
3:43
Speaker 2: also has a great command, Like he's not just like
3:45
Speaker 2: a jokester, you know, he's serious and uh takes care
3:47
Speaker 2: of his business. Really smart player, you know, I've been
3:49
Speaker 2: impressed with how he's handled everything, obviously coming into a
3:52
Speaker 2: new QB room, different role, and you know CJ's here too,
3:56
Speaker 2: and the dynamic between them has been cool to watch
3:58
Speaker 2: and to see how those two of really gone with
4:02
Speaker 2: the flow of the situation. And obviously everyone knows the deal,
4:05
Speaker 2: like we're all here to compete and do our best
4:07
Speaker 2: and play our best. Like that's, you know, plain and simple.
4:10
Speaker 2: But you can have fun and you can have a
4:12
Speaker 2: good QB room while doing it, you know, And I
4:14
Speaker 2: think that that's important to remember, not just for quarterbacks
4:17
Speaker 2: but for every position. But you know, when you step
4:19
Speaker 2: on the field, obviously everyone's trying to execute and do their.
4:22
Speaker 3: Best to make every play.
4:24
Speaker 2: But I think we have a really good time in
4:26
Speaker 2: our room, which makes it fun and we're all on
4:27
Speaker 2: the same page.
4:28
Speaker 3: And I think that is critical, especially as a quarterback.
4:30
Speaker 5: Because you a couple of years ago, I'm going to issue, guys,
4:34
Speaker 5: you start playing golf together.
4:37
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know who it was, just
4:41
Speaker 2: both of us will say it's meant to be.
4:45
Speaker 3: Signal digit chet. Yeah, I did. At the end of
4:47
Speaker 3: this offseason. I'll have to check it.
4:49
Speaker 2: As I had a good last round in Tahoe, which
4:52
Speaker 2: helped me. It's like an eight high eight or like
4:54
Speaker 2: a low nine or something like that.
4:55
Speaker 3: Okay, what does that, if anything, do for you? You
5:00
Speaker 3: and Christian.
5:02
Speaker 5: On the field, When you have that kind of ripport world.
5:06
Speaker 2: Off the field, I think it helps just having a
5:10
Speaker 2: relationship with someone beyond football and knowing them and you know,
5:14
Speaker 2: obviously you know me and him and Marissa and Ozzy
5:17
Speaker 2: his wife, we're all close, So I think that helps.
5:20
Speaker 2: And when you know someone and you can address them
5:23
Speaker 2: a certain way just because you really know each other
5:25
Speaker 2: and your friends and it's not just just my teammate
5:27
Speaker 2: and we work together and that's it. You know, it
5:29
Speaker 2: goes beyond that. And I think it's not just Christian.
5:31
Speaker 2: You know, I'm really close with Christian, but there's other
5:33
Speaker 2: guys too where I feel like this offseason we've really
5:36
Speaker 2: taken more time to go play golf or hang out
5:39
Speaker 2: or do whatever, just because that stuff's important. I think
5:42
Speaker 2: to know your teammates and to have relationships with them
5:45
Speaker 2: outside of this building only helps when you come to
5:48
Speaker 2: work and when you have to sacrifice and you got
5:50
Speaker 2: to dig deep for the guy next to you. I
5:52
Speaker 2: think that stuff really does matter. You know, it sounds cliche,
5:54
Speaker 2: but I do think it's becomes a lot easier when
5:57
Speaker 2: you know, when you really know the guy next to
5:59
Speaker 2: you is out.
6:00
Speaker 3: Of an ETN. So far in training camp, he's looked great.
6:04
Speaker 3: I'm just excited. Every year. I mean he's just gotten
6:07
Speaker 3: better and better.
6:08
Speaker 2: I think as far as just his vision and his
6:10
Speaker 2: discipline in the run game, he's taking even another step.
6:13
Speaker 2: I thought he took a huge step last year and
6:15
Speaker 2: this year is even better. His hands out of the
6:18
Speaker 2: backfield and just his route running. Honestly, I mean he's
6:21
Speaker 2: done a great job of just getting open and really
6:25
Speaker 2: expanding his what he can bring to the table for
6:28
Speaker 2: our offense. I mean he's not just not just a
6:30
Speaker 2: guy that we're gonna run the ball, get him on
6:32
Speaker 2: the perimeter and some of the run game and get
6:34
Speaker 2: him in space. He really is a guy that's a
6:35
Speaker 2: threat down the field now, and I feel like that's
6:37
Speaker 2: only gonna help him one get the ball more and
6:39
Speaker 2: only gonna help our offense become more explosive because now
6:41
Speaker 2: you got to you truly have a fifth guy to
6:43
Speaker 2: defend in the passing game. So I think it's gonna
6:46
Speaker 2: be really good for us, really good for him. Obviously,
6:49
Speaker 2: that's gonna help. You know, Travis is a guy you
6:52
Speaker 2: want to get in space as much as you can.
6:54
Speaker 2: I think being able to do that in the passing
6:55
Speaker 2: game is easier than always trying to find it in
6:57
Speaker 2: the run game. You know, that can be a little
6:59
Speaker 2: harder and even on its body throughout the season, take
7:02
Speaker 2: some miles off of him too, So I think all
7:04
Speaker 2: the way around, it's been a really great training camp
7:06
Speaker 2: for him. Has looked good every year. I've said it,
7:09
Speaker 2: but it's the best I've seen him. Look I said
7:10
Speaker 2: that last year and he looks even better this year.
7:12
Speaker 2: So I'm excited for him.
7:13
Speaker 3: Elijah Cooks, what are you seeing from.
7:15
Speaker 5: Elijah Cooks this kind?
7:16
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just made some plays. I think, you know
7:19
Speaker 2: what everybody sees. What Elija's good at is being physical,
7:22
Speaker 2: going up, making the contested catches, especially in the red zone.
7:25
Speaker 2: He's done that. He's made some splash plays. I think
7:27
Speaker 2: he's getting more and more comfortable in the system. Obviously,
7:31
Speaker 2: there's there's always wrinkles that we're adding. Training camp, we
7:34
Speaker 2: do a lot of different things. We try stuff, you know,
7:36
Speaker 2: some stuff doesn't work and we don't do it anymore,
7:38
Speaker 2: and some stuff we just want to see how it looks,
7:40
Speaker 2: So there's always wrinkles, and I think for receivers it's
7:43
Speaker 2: always kind of a learning curve of every day is
7:46
Speaker 2: really different. In camp, you're not game planning. You don't
7:48
Speaker 2: have this is our plan for the week, learn it,
7:50
Speaker 2: go execute it. During the season, it's more structured and
7:53
Speaker 2: you kind of know what to expecting. Training camp, you're
7:55
Speaker 2: just doing a bunch of different things, and you're getting
7:57
Speaker 2: sometimes bad looks on defense because you're not game planning defense.
8:00
Speaker 2: You're not just trying to put in plays just to
8:02
Speaker 2: beat them. You want to put in all your plays
8:04
Speaker 2: so when you get to the season, you've ran them all.
8:05
Speaker 2: So I think it's more challenging for them because there's
8:09
Speaker 2: every play to pick from. So some of the details
8:11
Speaker 2: I think we need to get better, not just Elijah,
8:14
Speaker 2: but just you know, all the younger receivers and even
8:17
Speaker 2: guys that just just got here. I think just honing
8:19
Speaker 2: in on the details. And like I said to me earlier,
8:22
Speaker 2: was when you get the press coverage and you get
8:24
Speaker 2: stuff like that and it's physical, they're even more critical
8:27
Speaker 2: because timing is imperative. I can't be laid on throws,
8:30
Speaker 2: so you can't be coming out of your route early.
8:32
Speaker 2: You can't go too deep, can't be too short, whatever
8:34
Speaker 2: it is. All that stuff really matters, and I think
8:36
Speaker 2: we've seen that throughout camp, which has been good for us.
8:38
Speaker 5: It's obviously preseason and you guys aren't gonna play the
8:41
Speaker 5: whole game.
8:42
Speaker 3: But is it gonna be anything extra, anything special going
8:45
Speaker 3: up against Pad and the shoots, given what they've done
8:47
Speaker 3: in this league one? Saday, Yeah.
8:50
Speaker 2: I mean anytime you have an opportunity to go out
8:52
Speaker 2: there and play and they're keeping score and I'm not
8:54
Speaker 2: wearing a red jersey, I think it's there's little extra
8:57
Speaker 2: on it, and you want to play well and you
8:58
Speaker 2: want to you want to perform, and you want to win.
9:01
Speaker 2: I mean that's bottom line, preseason game whatever. He still
9:04
Speaker 2: want to win, and it's a good challenge for us.
9:06
Speaker 2: They're going to play their guys too, so it'll be
9:09
Speaker 2: a good challenge for us and see how we see
9:11
Speaker 2: how we stack up early. Obviously, this is it's preseason one.
9:14
Speaker 2: There's a long ways to go before week one, but
9:16
Speaker 2: I think it is important to kind of test yourself
9:18
Speaker 2: and see how you look against the team that has
9:20
Speaker 2: been the standard of the past few years, and shouldn't.
9:23
Speaker 3: Take it lightly.
9:23
Speaker 2: It is just a preseason game, but you're playing, they're
9:27
Speaker 2: keeping score.
9:28
Speaker 3: You want to win it.
9:28
Speaker 2: So I think that's the mindset, and coach actually just
9:30
Speaker 2: mentioned that after practice, So you know, we understand what
9:33
Speaker 2: we want to do and what the what the goal is.
9:34
Speaker 5: How have you seen Brian kind of grow from the
9:36
Speaker 5: started camp or even OTAs.
9:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we're we're asking him to kind of
9:42
Speaker 2: do everything just to see you get a new guy,
9:45
Speaker 2: and you want to see how how he runs certain routes,
9:47
Speaker 2: what he's good at, you know, put him in different
9:48
Speaker 2: positions and just see how he responds. And I think
9:50
Speaker 2: he's done a great job of kind of adapting and
9:53
Speaker 2: changing his role, you know, from day to day or
9:55
Speaker 2: even from play to play. So I think he's done
9:56
Speaker 2: a great job of learning that because that's something that
9:59
Speaker 2: you don't really as much in college as these schemes
10:01
Speaker 2: are just way different, offenses are way different. So he's
10:05
Speaker 2: a really smart guy, like I've said in the spring,
10:06
Speaker 2: so he's picked it up quickly. I think now he's
10:09
Speaker 2: getting to the point where he's starting to play faster, like,
10:11
Speaker 2: because no matter how smart you are, how quick you pick.
10:14
Speaker 3: Up the offense.
10:15
Speaker 2: I remember, you know, being a rookie and I know it,
10:17
Speaker 2: but you're still kind of like a little bit slow.
10:20
Speaker 2: When you're playing. You're thinking, you're still breaking the huddle,
10:23
Speaker 2: You're thinking about where you're going, what you're running, and
10:25
Speaker 2: then right before the ball snap, you're like, all right,
10:27
Speaker 2: I know what I got. But as he has progressed,
10:29
Speaker 2: I think you can see it clicking more. Where he
10:31
Speaker 2: has more confidence, he's breaking the huddle, he's going right
10:33
Speaker 2: to where he knows he's supposed to go. Some of
10:35
Speaker 2: the routes have just been, you know, a little sharper
10:38
Speaker 2: as we've gone on, which has been great to see.
10:39
Speaker 2: And I know the more more we work them and
10:42
Speaker 2: he's in the system, he's just going to continue to
10:43
Speaker 2: get more confident. That's like anybody. But I think right now,
10:47
Speaker 2: it's he's done everything so far. We've kind of put
10:50
Speaker 2: him in different spots and seeing what he's done, well,
10:53
Speaker 2: maybe he's to work on whatever it is what we
10:55
Speaker 2: think he can really bring to the table, and it's
10:57
Speaker 2: expanding that and getting better at those things and putting
11:00
Speaker 2: him a position in a position to be successful, especially early,
11:04
Speaker 2: get his confidence going early. I think that's gonna be important.
11:07
Speaker 2: And then from there, you know, I think the sky's
11:09
Speaker 2: limit for him. I just you know, once he starts
11:11
Speaker 2: playing really fast, he's gonna be it's gonna be great.
11:14
Speaker 4: You've said it, for us, has said it, Doug has
11:16
Speaker 4: said it.
11:16
Speaker 1: You're trying to get more reps with not just the
11:19
Speaker 1: top three guys at wide receiver, not just Travis, not
11:21
Speaker 1: just Evan, who's a young guy or two who maybe
11:24
Speaker 1: have surprised you and you said, wow, that's someone who's
11:26
Speaker 1: in consideration for significant playing time.
11:30
Speaker 3: There's I mean, there's a few guys.
11:31
Speaker 2: I don't want to I don't want to leave anybody out,
11:33
Speaker 2: but I'll just give you one.
11:35
Speaker 3: Parker Washington has looked great.
11:38
Speaker 2: I mean we've taught about it before, I think, but
11:41
Speaker 2: from last year to this year, such an improvement just
11:43
Speaker 2: the way he's played, and for him to have a
11:45
Speaker 2: full offseason where he's healthy.
11:47
Speaker 3: I think it's been good for him too.
11:49
Speaker 2: You know, he kind of started off I mentioned that
11:50
Speaker 2: last time started off a little injured and it was
11:52
Speaker 2: hard for him to kind of get going because straight
11:54
Speaker 2: at training camp and he had to really didn't have
11:56
Speaker 2: OTAs to get settled in. So to see him this year,
11:59
Speaker 2: I mean it's been it's been cool to see his
12:01
Speaker 2: transformation and how good he looks. Honestly, I've been really
12:04
Speaker 2: impressed guy that you see him, and he's a slot receiver,
12:08
Speaker 2: but he's played outside, he's moved around, he can kind
12:10
Speaker 2: of do everything, and he's great after the catch too,
12:12
Speaker 2: so that that's gonna help.
12:14
Speaker 3: Us a lot.
12:14
Speaker 2: So that's a guy I'd probably say that I've noticed
12:17
Speaker 2: the most. But there's a bunch of guys that are
12:20
Speaker 2: making plays. You know, I don't even want to start,
12:22
Speaker 2: and I'll name them all, but that's definitely Parker has
12:25
Speaker 2: looked great.
12:26
Speaker 5: Mentioned that Press is going to be trying calling play
12:29
Speaker 5: calling plays from the sideline. Is that something that you're
12:31
Speaker 5: looking forward to, maybe that extra element.
12:33
Speaker 2: Of communication, Yeah, I mean, to be honest, I don't
12:38
Speaker 2: really care that much where he's at.
12:41
Speaker 3: I think it does.
12:42
Speaker 2: It cuts down some of the communication time.
12:44
Speaker 3: I guess that would be accurate. But either way I.
12:48
Speaker 2: Can I can get on the headset quick, or I
12:50
Speaker 2: can tell Mike if I'm thinking something to tell him,
12:52
Speaker 2: you know, So that communication has always been good.
12:54
Speaker 3: So it doesn't change much. You know, it'll be it'll
12:57
Speaker 3: be cool to see him down there and interact with him.
12:58
Speaker 2: I think he'll He'll be good for him to get
13:00
Speaker 2: a feel for just the team, because you know, there's
13:02
Speaker 2: some some games are just different in the field at
13:04
Speaker 2: the beginning. You feel it as players and coaches on
13:06
Speaker 2: the field, but I'm sure it's different from the press
13:09
Speaker 2: box or the coaches booth like I just can't I've
13:11
Speaker 2: never been up there, so I don't know. I would
13:13
Speaker 2: assume it's different. Like you're you're kind of detached from
13:16
Speaker 2: the energy and the atmosphere of the sidelines. So we'll
13:19
Speaker 2: see how that changes things, if it does at all,
13:21
Speaker 2: I don't really know.
13:23
Speaker 3: Doesne change what I have to do? So I haven't
13:24
Speaker 3: really thought about it, to be honest.
13:26
Speaker 5: Mitch and Mitch coming in, how's the connection with y'all
13:29
Speaker 5: and what does he bring into the offense.
13:30
Speaker 2: It's been great. Mitch's a stude, just a great leader. Honestly,
13:34
Speaker 2: I think a guy that's like I said before, he's
13:36
Speaker 2: proven himself in this league, is a great player, leads
13:39
Speaker 2: the right way. What I love about him is his attitude.
13:41
Speaker 2: You know, he's not afraid to work. You know, it's
13:44
Speaker 2: not just Debbie Downer, ten ten year vet coming in
13:47
Speaker 2: here that doesn't want to practice. Like he's excited to
13:49
Speaker 2: go out there and practice. I love the way he
13:51
Speaker 2: leads the guys, he communicates, He's there's times where he's
13:54
Speaker 2: wanting to get some extra works on some snaps and
13:56
Speaker 2: I'm like, dude, he's been snapping for who knows millions
13:59
Speaker 2: of football in his career, like little things like he
14:02
Speaker 2: just it's always wanted to get better. The communication has
14:04
Speaker 2: been great, whether it's out here in the meeting rooms.
14:08
Speaker 2: And obviously our systems a little bit different than what
14:10
Speaker 2: they did in Buffalo, so there's been a lot to
14:11
Speaker 2: communicate through and he's done a great job.
14:14
Speaker 3: So I love where we're at.
14:15
Speaker 2: It should to keep keep working that, but he's he's
14:17
Speaker 2: been awesome and much needed, you know, up up front
14:19
Speaker 2: of just as far as how he leads, I think
14:21
Speaker 2: it's been awesome.
14:23
Speaker 5: Force around you has been around like how you can
14:25
Speaker 5: improve and get better to fulfill your potential and win
14:27
Speaker 5: a Super Bowl. But looking back on your first three years,
14:30
Speaker 5: what are you kind of proud of in terms of
14:32
Speaker 5: what you've done on the field, In terms of just
14:34
Speaker 5: being a football player.
14:38
Speaker 3: Quote. No one's asked me that appreciate that. Uh.
14:41
Speaker 2: I think I've or I know I've gotten better every year.
14:45
Speaker 2: There's been times there's been plays that where I've or
14:48
Speaker 2: it doesn't look like it.
14:49
Speaker 3: You know you're gonna have.
14:50
Speaker 2: Bad plays in your career and that's gonna happen. But
14:52
Speaker 2: you know, I know I've gotten better every year. I
14:54
Speaker 2: think obviously we've talked about this stuff I need to
14:55
Speaker 2: get better at, and those are things I know I
14:57
Speaker 2: need to get better at and I'm working.
14:58
Speaker 3: On and moving forward.
14:59
Speaker 2: But as far as just accuracy, giving guys a chance
15:03
Speaker 2: throwing the ball down field, that was something I didn't
15:05
Speaker 2: do well at all my rookie year, and I think
15:07
Speaker 2: I've gotten better at that. I think just knowing the
15:12
Speaker 2: system making this the smart play that's been a big
15:15
Speaker 2: improvement for me. Staying on schedule is something I've learned
15:17
Speaker 2: to do, especially last year, taking the early easy completions
15:20
Speaker 2: early in the games, or if it's you know, first
15:23
Speaker 2: second down, second and long, just getting the ball and
15:25
Speaker 2: play whatever the situations are. I think I've gotten better situationally,
15:29
Speaker 2: that can still improve. There's been times last year where
15:31
Speaker 2: I didn't play well situationally where I made some mistakes
15:34
Speaker 2: or turned it over or whatever. There's always everything is
15:38
Speaker 2: a learning experience. But those are some things just to
15:40
Speaker 2: think off top mettle want really thinking about it.
15:42
Speaker 5: But the thing is like the biggest learning proved that
15:45
Speaker 5: is like learning how to win and not always like
15:47
Speaker 5: going for the shot play and knowing to like take
15:49
Speaker 5: a complete on first down.
15:51
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's something you definitely have to learn.
15:55
Speaker 2: I've said it, but you still have to You still
15:57
Speaker 2: have to play aggressive. You know, you can't take that
15:59
Speaker 2: killer instinct doubt of you.
16:00
Speaker 4: You know.
16:00
Speaker 2: I think that is something that makes players great, is
16:04
Speaker 2: that ability to know when to take those shots. It's
16:06
Speaker 2: calculated risks so and sometimes you miscalculate, and hindsight.
16:11
Speaker 3: It does it's not the right decision.
16:12
Speaker 2: But I always want to prepare myself for every situation
16:17
Speaker 2: and then in the game, I want to just play.
16:18
Speaker 2: You know, I don't want to overanalyze. I don't want
16:19
Speaker 2: to think. I don't want to you know, check a
16:22
Speaker 2: ball down and think, God, I wish I would have
16:23
Speaker 2: throw the shot. I don't want to throw the shot
16:25
Speaker 2: and be like, man, I wish I would have checked
16:26
Speaker 2: it down. You know there's just gonna be plays where
16:27
Speaker 2: you're not always going to be right. So I think
16:29
Speaker 2: the biggest thing I've gotten better at is being able
16:31
Speaker 2: to move on to the next play, and that maybe
16:34
Speaker 2: is the most important thing playing this position in this league,
16:36
Speaker 2: and you have to be able to do and sometimes
16:38
Speaker 2: it's harder than others. But I think that's something where
16:40
Speaker 2: you know, I've gotten better, but you got to keep
16:42
Speaker 2: getting better because that always is a challenge because there's
16:44
Speaker 2: gonna be some some bad plays in there and you
16:46
Speaker 2: got to move on to the next and make the.
16:48
Speaker 3: Next one right. Awesome, Thank y'all.
