  Speaker 1: DK.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: During the week was like, man, we got to work
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: on your swag coming into the building. I liked I
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: like to think that my shoes will top anyone in
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: this locker room. But yeah, okay, the jeans and maybe
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the shirts. So it's like we got to talk about
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: it going into this week, and I was like, all right,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: I'll be better. I'll be better. So through jersey and
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: the titles, hat, how's your how's your knee?
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: It's good, it's good, It'll be all right.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: I think it was definitely just a precautionary thing. I
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: still haven't seen the clip. Don't really know what happened.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: I know, like immediately when you get hit on your
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: front leg as a queue after you throw, you know
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: it's locked out.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Kind of scared me for a second. Get up.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know what happened, but all right, next play,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we'll figure it out on the sideline. So yeah, kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of a cautionary deal, and it's gonna listen to what
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: the team tells me and get ready and get better
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: for next week.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah. The two games definitely a transition from Game one
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to game two.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, struggling a little bit early on those
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: first couple of drives in the Vikings game. Couldn't didn't
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: put points up on the board, But you know, feeling
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: confident going back out there this time. You know, I
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: got some plays under my belt the week before. I'm
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: confident I'm ready to roll. And I wanted to show
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: that tonight to not only the coaches but the team
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: that you know, I'm be ready at all at all
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: times whenever that time comes, you know, as a backup,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: you hope it never comes. You hope the head guy
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: is playing every single snap throughout the year and unless
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: we're beating somebody bad enough to get thrown in there.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: But no, just showing that, you know, I can show
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: this next week as well, but that I'm just ready
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: to go. I'm here for this team and that if
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that time comes, the guys are confident when I walk
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: out there to go take the huddle and you try
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to help us win games.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: So Drew, you change the way you prepare.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I think you mentioned that coach talked about that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: So does that then get you? Like when you have
• 2:18
  Speaker 4: called upon a more raty laser focus to make out
• 2:21
  Speaker 4: play without even every worry, you.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: Think, yeah, that's just that's the goal every every game
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: week as a backup, you know, just getting closer and
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: closer and closer to being to feeling like you're the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: starter every time you get the opportunity to go out there.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: And I think last year, having seventeen opportunities to try
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: to feel that way and be ready to do it
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and then have it not happen, I've definitely logged a
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: good amount of time and of being ready when my
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: number gets called. And we kind of try to emphasize
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: that this week, Gino's gonna go out and play, Drew.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: You know you're gonna play, but let's acting as if
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you don't. You know, it's just you know, g know's
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: down and you're going in. That's how we try to
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: talk about it this week with me going into play.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: And I like to think that, you know, the offense
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: when I was out there and guys block their butts off,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: guys made plays with the ball in their hand and
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: we score points someone out there, and that's that's the
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: number one goal.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: It was it for you guys to see the explosives
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: kind of come in the passing game. You know, hits
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: the one to Bobo, you get the ones to Jackson,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: Cody and know why to kind of move your guys down.
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: The field at that way.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know what that room is capable of.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: That that room is stacked with really good players right now,
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: and to be able to help our run game get
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: its a couple of explosives in the past. We know,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: we know our run game is going to be explosive.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: But for us being able to add that second piece
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and too, you know, big plays, big chunk plays and
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: then come back to the run, it just makes us
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: some more well rounded offense.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: To say the least.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: On the pass of Jackson, yeah, DV tried to kind
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: of undercut it with him running across the field and
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: most of the time you can kind of line drive
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: that throw to Jax, but had to put a little
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: touch on it with him undercutting it and be able
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to put over the opposite shoulder, and he did a
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: great job at tracking the ball and making that catch.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: I already talked to him. I saw him at Chipotle
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: today and I tried to get some Chipotle before the game,
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: but I was like, Jackson normally get Chipotle before games,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: and he said no, But I was really feeling today,
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I'm like, all right, Well, that's why you got stopp
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: at the one because he had Chipotle today instead of
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: your normal instead of your normal you know, pre game food.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: So that was kind of the joke on the silence
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: between me and him.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Other than that said, you're making there. But what he's been,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: he's been amazing. I think the biggest part about him
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: is just his composure. I think not once have I
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: felt like he was a rookie. When he's out there,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: he's confident in himself. He knows what he's doing, and
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: when the ball's in the air, he's going to make
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: a play on it and go get it, and you know,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: turns something into nothing when he gets the ball in
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: his hands. I think that's it's hard to do. It's
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: hard to do in this league, and especially as a
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: rookie coming in and you know, with him missing some
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: time in the years previous, for him to come in
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: and step in and make the plays that he's making
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: right now, I think it's pretty impressive.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Now that you're in your second year in this offense
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: with Shane Waldry, you've actually gotten two preseason games a row.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: You've gotten quite a few snaps. Where are you seeing
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: what improvements are you seeing manifestos on the field right
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: now for you compared to saying.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Here and go Yeah, I think I think it comes
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: from being in the same offense for two years now,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: like you said, but just quicker decisions with the ball,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: knowing when I on a play action turn my head
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: around whether it's gonna be good or if it's gonna
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: be bad. Just processing quicker. When you get to that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: point and kind of feel the way I'm feeling right now,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you feel like you can go out there every time
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: and walk down the field, and that's the feeling that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: every quarterback wants to have. And finally, you know, being
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: able to be confident and assist them. With the guys
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: around me, I know what's going on. It just it
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: feels really good right now and I'm excited to get
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: back out there again and keep showing it.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: You saw a couple highly drafted receivers come in with
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you in Denver, in Handler and Judy. Comparing to them,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: what impresses you about Jackson in the struggle of making
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: that jump to the NFL level as a rookie and
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: how he's kind of handled it's compared to other guys.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've definitely been around some good rookie receivers, that's
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: for sure. I think what kind of all of them entail,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: which is kind of what I mentioned earlier, just the
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: fact that they can come in and be so level
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: headed and make the plays when it comes to them,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: because you know, a lot of guys can let the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: lights and this logo kind of, I don't know, just
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: might get too big for him sometimes, especially when you're
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: drafted so high, there's expectations on you being able to
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: drownd out the noise of expectations of being a first
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: round pick, and you know how States put out a
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: lot of good receivers right now. And being able to
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: be able to drown that out, I think is what
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: is really going to set what it's gonna set.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Jack's apart. He doesn't seem like he cares about it.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: He wants to come out here, he wants to get better,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: he wants to learn from DK and Tyler and go
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: make the plays. And I think if he keeps that
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: mindset and just keeps his head down and keeps working,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: he's going to be really really good.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Anything else, Thank you, Thank you,
