• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Hello. Oh, gosh. I don't know if my lifespan loves
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: him as much as I love him in the moment, but, yeah, man,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: it is a blast again. So proud of everybody around
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: me tonight on the offensive side of the ball. Can't
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: say enough about the defense forcing the turnovers, and it
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: was such an awesome night, but go ahead. The life
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: of a backup quarterback, you don't get reps from game week.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: How do you stay? We see you out there at
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: the end of practice. How else do you stay ready
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: for moments like today? Yeah. My biggest thing is always
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: just drawing every play as much as I can. Literally drawing?
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Say that again? Literally drawing. Literally drawing. Yeah, yeah. Whiteboard.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: I've got one next to my bed. I'll do it
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: at night. I'll do it in the morning. And that's
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: just kind of been my thing, being able to visualize
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it so that when I read it out, it's just
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: there in my head. because of the lack of reps,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you don't get to physically do it. I've got to
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: be able to draw it from somewhere, and no pun intended,
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: drawing it helps me draw it from somewhere. Mike said
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the fourth down play. Do you think you've ever run
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: that practice with a touchdown? Probably not. It is like
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: a classic football play, but no, definitely never ran it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: It looked kind of funny before the snap. It didn't
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: really seem like they had anybody ready to match jacks
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: based on what i knew we were about to run
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: and um he's actually ended up being the third read
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: in that play and when 11's just standing there you
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: got to give him the pill so i mean you're
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the number two quarterback it's four down and short instead
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: of put barner into run or whatever they put the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: ball in your hands that's sweet that's sweet um when
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: you hear like the digit come in um I'd like
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to think that I could have, like, all 100 memorized
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: by the time, but no. I'm like, all right, whatever
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: is that? Flow seven. Here we go. Let's do it.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: It was cool. It was awesome. It was kind of
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: one of those, like, pardon my French, just a little
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: tap on the ass. Like, go get this done, buddy.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It was cool. And then your reaction to what Jackson
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: did with it afterwards. Yeah. Catch and run. What kind
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: of stance that would use? Oh, fantastic. Do the work
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: for me, bud. Go get that thing done. And, yeah, just...
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: Another Jackson moment that doesn't surprise any of us, but
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: turns into a cool highlight reel. Coach Fleury, obviously this
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: is probably not the way he was pretending the first
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: game to go, but how did you see the communication
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: with him go as the game progressed? It seemed like
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he was getting you some easy opportunities at halftime to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: kind of get you into a rhythm, get the offense in. No,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: it was great to get in here at half, put
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: the players up on the board, talk about our openers
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: coming out of the half. really get those dialed in.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I think it's also a little bit of just feeling
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the flow of the game, getting back into this, finding
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: ways to, in the future, be able to snap into
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: it quicker. That's just the life of a backup. But, yeah, no,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: he did a fantastic job all night. We need to
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: be a little better on some procedural things. Obviously, that's apparent.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: You can't go second and inches to– whatever we ended
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: up on that drive could have came back to bite us.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: We've got to get better with that moving forward. I
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: just talked about how stoic is his words to describe
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Brian Fleury. Was that the case with Fleury tonight? Sam
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: has said that. Was that the case tonight? Same thing.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: It was awesome to see that. I think as a quarterback,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: with someone in the headset, you want them like this
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: all the time, whether that's you know, he's really energetic,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: but always energetic, or you're really stoic, always be stoic.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It was awesome to feel that from him tonight, see
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that from him, and know that's what we're going to
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: get moving forward. How much or in what ways have
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: you grown as a quarterback since the last time you
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: got extended run in a game like this a couple
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: years back? Yeah. I'd say it's an interesting question because,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: you know, I've definitely grown. I've learned a lot about football.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: But having an opportunity... on a team like this can
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: shift your mindset. Um, knowing the type of defense that
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: we have, there's no, there's no rush to push the
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ball down the field. Let's find ways to get the
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: ball in our guy's hands. Now, when the ones downfield
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: are there, I've never been one to be afraid to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: throw those, but having the mindset of taking care of
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: the football, getting it in our guy's hands, you don't have,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you got the best defense in the world, in my opinion. Um,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Let's keep the ball moving forward and see what the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: scoreboard looks like at the end of this. You mentioned
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: that defense. I imagine it's the game going down. You
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: have to be thinking about it over time. What was
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: your reaction? Did you even see the interception? It was,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: all right, we're talking about four minutes. All right, we're
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: talking about two minutes. All right, stop talking to me
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: about two minutes. I'm going to go watch this last play.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: And me and Jalen are sitting there. And sure enough,
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: the ball went up in the air. Joe made a
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: heck of a play. Then you click into, oh my gosh,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: we just got to go knee it now. The game's over.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: Let's go take a knee and get on in here
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and celebrate a little bit. Can you describe all that
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: goes through your head when you see Sam go down?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: I've always been the guy to stand behind the offense,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: watch him, watch the pass rush, and then go back
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and look at the tape on the sideline with the pictures.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The hit was kind of There's bodies in the way.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: I didn't necessarily see it. Take a couple steps away,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: I look back, and I see him kind of hobbling
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: to the sideline. That's happened before. Nothing too big. But
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: when he kept doing it all the way to the white,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: I was like, all right, this might be something. And
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I feel like I know Sam really well. He was
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: going to do everything he can to stay out there.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: But it's just one of those things where you had
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: to go get it looked at. For a long season,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: just one game, what is the value of getting a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: win like this when it looks so bleak there for
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: two and a half quarters or whatever? What does it
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: mean long term? Yeah, I mean, any win in this
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: league is huge, especially the first one of the year
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: against a team that was obviously very good the year before.
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: It just, instead of starting here, you started here. That's
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: really the only difference. We're going to go attack this game.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: coming week with the same diligence that we attacked this
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: week with and, again, see where we're at after week two,
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: week three, week four, and just take it one week
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: at a time. Drew, you're whiteboard at home. Can you
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: think of the most random moment when you felt the
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: urge to go to it in the middle of the night,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: early in the morning, friends over? I'll say that every
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: day I get home to do that, I have to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: erase things that were not drawn by me. That's probably
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: the most random thing about that whiteboard. I think it's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: a good time killer for my wife at home at
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: some point with the kiddo. And yeah, so it's fun.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: I get to smile right as I start to do
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: it and kind of remember why you're doing it. So
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: they ever cooked up a good play? Huh? Have they
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: ever cooked up a good play? They haven't, no. It's just,
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: it's honestly the whole thing ends up almost black and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: it just scribbles everywhere. Yeah, it's quiet. It's quiet in bed.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: After two kids, you kind of realize there's a lot
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: of quiet times in bed when you just lay there like,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: what are we doing? Yeah, no, she understands. She gets it,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: but So tell our lover, give her a little kiss,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: and go to sleep. Anything else? Thanks, guys.
