Speaker 1 (00:01):
The volume. All Right, everybody, welcome to episode two of
(00:21):
the Bryce Young Podcast. Really excited to be back. A
big week in college football, a big week for Bryce
and and speaking of the star of the show, I'm
just kind of the vessel. Uh. This guy's the the
real meat and potatoes of the show. Alabama starting quarterback
Mr Bryce Young? Bryce, what's up? Man? Not much excited
to be here? Are you doing? Doing good? A week?
Week to second one second podcast in the tank Man
(00:43):
had a really good first one, and I want to
kick this one off. I know everybody's excited to hear
from you, you know, Saturday, Bryce being the first you know,
road game in that type of environment, a road environment
down in the swamp, a place I'm sure you grew up,
you know, watching on TV and understanding that, you know,
communication it's key. We always talked about that, right and anything.
How hard was it to be able to communicate? I
(01:04):
saw you guys kind of going from the silent uh
there early once it got rolling. How it was communication
in the created case? It was it was tough. Um. Yeah,
like you said, like I grew up, you know, like
going up you play n c A like you play
and save for that was always like one of the
hardest places to play that. So, like that was a
place that I always like as a kid un playing that. Um,
(01:25):
and you know, it was it was. It was definitely loud,
the fans, their fans, you know, definitely showed up. It
was it was pretty hard to communicate, but um, you
know it's something we were kind of prepareful. It was
those wire me the circumstances and like, and you know
how well I feel like we responded and how well
we were able to communicate despite um, you know, despite
just you know, the conditions. Um, you know, I'm super
(01:48):
super proud of my teens for for out of responding
how we kind of responded to good. Yeah, obviously guys
coming out with the thirty one win, and you know,
so much goes into the travel of going to play
that game. I think everybody just because they don't know,
because they're not on the inside that they see you
go on the field and it's hyping. Everybody's yelling. But
before the game, you know, while you're stretching, while you're
getting ready, you know, what what's your mindset at? I
(02:10):
mean you just are you kind of chill? I mean,
are are you going around tapping people up. What's kind
of the bryce young look. I know it's loud, we
can hear them from outside the tunnel, we can hear them,
But what's probably young like in that moment. Yeah, personally,
I'm probably you know, I'm I'm I'm pretty focused around
that time. Um. Um, typically a little more a little
more chill, like a little more um, a little more
(02:34):
calm and not like I feel like, you know, a
lot of that energy is pretty easy to like you know,
with a generaline and you know, with all with the crowd,
with your at home room, like there's a lot of
you know, obviously there's a lot gonna be a lot
of energy. So like for me, Um, just like my
position and quarterback, there's a lot of thinking that goes
into it. Like you have to be able to be composed.
In my opinion, you got to be able to process
(02:54):
a lot. I have to be able to feel that
in generaline and like you know, function off it, but
also be able to to keep your composure and know
how to function because there's a lot of thinking. There's
lack it's it's a big mental game. So um, for
me around that time, like, um, you know, I'm definitely
focused about whatever I need to be, you know, thinking
about trying to prepare myself mentally, um and honestly, you know,
(03:15):
it's it's kind of weird because there's a lot of
things I'm trying to balance, like trying to balance you know,
being focused, having energy, and having fun because like you know,
moments like that, you know, they're they're super intense in
the moment, there's a lot of ship, but like that stuff,
you know, that's you know, at the end of the day,
like you know, it's it's fun to playing those big moments,
a lot of fun stuff. I try to balance kind
of all those emotions out and try to find, like,
(03:36):
you know, a little middle ground. Yeah, it's funny how
everybody gets ready different. You know, you've got the quiet guys,
You've got the guys that won't shut up. I don't
know how this is now in the locker room, but
we had guys that just would not shut up if
you walk around talking you know about how ready they were.
But you know, bryce going on the road and playing
at home, they're too totally different things and experiences, even
though the fields the same with same length, same amount
(03:56):
of players. Do you like going on the road more
or at home. Is it about even for you because
I know guys that like would much rather quiet people
down sometimes than get them going. Yeah, I mean there's
you know, there's for for us, like for me and
friends of the team out, I feel like we kind
of attack these gaming mind set the same like you
have to. You have to you know, you have to
approach the same um. And you know, there's definitely that
(04:20):
boost when you're at home knowing that you're having you're
knowing you have your fans support and you have your
fans have you know that your fans how how you're
backing and and that's definitely big boost. And there's also
stuff you can make better positives out of being on
the road. So um, I think you know, I don't
think I really have like favorite, I'd rather be one
place because you know that stuff you can't control each
(04:42):
figure out, you know, dang, I'm here, thing I'm not,
I'm on the road the dame. I mean, I don't
like that's kind of tough. That's kind of a tough,
Like no, it is. It can be equal, it can
be they're too totally different different experiences. Yeah, definitely, but
kind of back to what you said about like how, um,
you know everyone's kind of different. I've always been like
a really b advocate of that. Um, Personally, I'm my
(05:02):
own individual process and how I prepare before games, like, um,
you know how my energy is stuff I do and
and and a part of that. You know, you have
to sometimes depending on like you know your role and team,
you have to make sure you read the room and
understand that what you ring. But I've always been a
big advocate of there never being one way to prepare,
one way, one mindset to have, Like I've always been like, personally,
(05:24):
I I become comfortable in my process and comfortable with
what I feel like I need to feel, um, going
to a game. But I've always been to be advocated like, hey,
if you're a guy that needs to be juiced up
and listen to like and listen to you know, and
listen to some some hype of music and be talking yell,
and then do that. And if you're a guy that
wants to that doesn't need music and you just chill,
you're a guy who's somewhere in the middle and listen
(05:45):
to calm Like I've always been a big advocate like
just knowing everyone's different and there's no one way, there's
no right way to to prepare, especially when it comes
to something like that prepare youself mentally. So that's just
like a little bit in my process. But like I
don't think it's anything to be like, hey, it's writing,
you should do it too, or like yes, if I
want my team to do, like I understand, I feel
like everyone, especially you know, at the level I'm at,
(06:08):
I have a lot of common in my teams. And
you said there's people prepared differently some people, you know,
there's different people in the locker room, but I I
know that everyone's doing what's necessary for them and we
all kind of kind of get there. And I've always
that's always kind of been some number really been in
treating and this how different people you know, people really
like are as far as getting ready for stuff if
(06:28):
it's a big miss. Like you said, there's people that
are that are that are hyper treat a calm like
and I've seen people be successful in like every different way.
I've seen people seen come off as like almost nervous,
superhead down and go out before I see people be
over the confidence the same thing to go out before
and then vice versa. I've seen people be overconfident maybe
(06:49):
not play well the same thing like, and I've seen
everything in between, and I've realized, like you really just
have to have your own process and understand what works
best for you. And um, like I've been trying to
you know, I feel that found kind of what that
is for me. But I've noticed also like it's definitely
not like a like a universal like what to do,
what not to Yeah, it's almost like a fingerprint, like
(07:10):
everybody has kind of a different way that they get ready.
Like and there's an old saying, I don't care how
you get ready, just play good. You play good, You'll
never hear me say anything about how you could, you know,
be eating pop rocks and drinking pepsi for all I care.
Whatever works to get you out there. But you know,
there were so many big plays in that game. Bryce,
when you go back and look at it, you know,
not only when you were on the field, but you
know when Ford was on the field on offense and
(07:31):
Alabama on defense. What what's what's one play that really
stood out to you? And it could be any play,
It could be offense, defense, special teams that if you
could pick one, what's one that kind of stands out
because you and I think can both agree games like
this type games come down to about a handful of plays. Yeah, definitely,
I think I think the two point conversion for US,
um the stop that our defense stop was probably big,
(07:51):
you know, definitely a big play the game. I mean
for for you know, obviously with with everything that was
going on, you know, with going into the game, you know,
they had just scored for our defense, you know, easy,
it was easy for our defense be like, oh whatever,
they just scored. They just joy out, feel like, let's
just give up, let's lay down. But they understood how
important that two point version was. They locked back and
(08:12):
got to stop when it was needed, and ultimately that's
where it ended up, you know, whinning us the games.
And I think that was probably play. Yeah. And and
you know when you're watching that Bryson over there on
the sideline, that's when you know, we always talk about culture, right,
we talked about it last time. You know, the offense
goes against the defense so many times in practice, and
you want to be competitive, but at the end of
the day, y'all are on the same team, and it's
(08:33):
like once you get out of fall camp, ever realized like, oh,
thank goodness, we get to play somebody else rooting those
guys on Did you say anything to them before that play?
Did you have any time to say something one of
the guys on defense? Are you just kind of let
them do their thing? Yeah? I kinda, I kind of.
You know, a lot of times, like there's not a
lot of times, there's not really too much overlapp as
far as like there's really just that one when special
(08:55):
teams played and then they're on the field and where
the sideline of runs time out sometimes time outs for
bigs like I have, Like like you said, like there's
so much competition the off season and spring ball, you're
going back and forth with defense, and was like I've
I've told people um on the defense. It's like it's crazy,
Like I'm happy I finally get the roof for you guys.
Like when you guys make a play, I'm like, dang,
(09:17):
Like that means were but like it's great. I get
to root. I get to like roof for you guys
and be excited and like because I get turned up
with show. It's like it's fun. But I have but
even in moments like that, Like I have the utmost
confidence in our defense, like seeing their process, seeing how
well they you know, going against them. And then again
even at a time like that, like people don't understand
(09:39):
how hard it is to put that last whatever, like
to put a drive or put a bad bad player
behind you and the locker the next place. You know,
this is the big one and to make it and
like and for our the defense to make a play
like that again, like I have the like the most confidence. Yeah,
and everybody was getting excited when y'all got that stop
and you know, it's it's such an emotional game meant
(10:00):
and you're trying, I guess, keep the emotions as much,
you know, to a minimum as possible. But when you
were out there, you know, and and the game was
ending and you knew it was done and the last
play was ran, what was that feeling like for you
getting a big win earlier in your career? A statement
went on the road in the swamp, Like we talked
about full capacity, not limited capacity. Everybody that could fit
(10:21):
in there was in there. Uh, is there a moment
that it hits you, like, you know, hey, that's a
great win, and knowing you the way like I think
I do. You're probably ready to get onto the next
one and watched the film and correct it. But is
there a moment in time Bryce, we're just for a
second you enjoy it or maybe take some time after
the game. Yeah, yeah, definitely, I think it's important, like
you have to Yeah, that was, Um, you know, they're
(10:42):
a really really good team. That's a really really hostile
environment of playing and frest Born Road. Um, and and
you know, and and you know gone win. Um, you
know that that that was you know it was. It
was really good for us. We have a tweet four
hour roually where you know when when you have to
enjoy it, you know, you enjoy it for that night
and and um, you know looking back in the film,
(11:02):
which we've gotten a chance to do now, UM, I
know all around, there's a lot of stuff that you know,
we see on the film that we're not necessarily proud of,
and stuff that we have to improve improve on. And um,
there's a lot of stuff that this is a whole
that we we feel like we can improve on it.
There's a lot of stuff now that we're looking back
at it that we wish we did differently. But at
that for the time being. Um, you know, we kind
of fell into that rule just enjoying it for a
(11:24):
little bit. Um, you know you have to again seeing
for being that close to being them being such a
good team for us to be able to pull it
out and end up winning like that was you know
it was. It was definitely really it was immediately after
when the clock hit zero was like you know, it's
it was back and forth, really hard thoughts. So that's
(11:44):
probably what I felt the best. Now again looking back
at it, Um, you know as a whole, we know that, Um,
there's a lot of stuff that we want to improve. Um,
there's a lot of stuff we did that we weren't
proud of. So um, now it's probably that that was
probably the that went for sure. Yeah. I love how
you say, like there's stuff we did we weren't proud of,
Like it was like it was something like not football.
(12:05):
I don't know, it's just that's it's funny because you
guys hold yourself to such a high standard. That's why
it works. And that that leads perfectly to my next question. Bryce.
You know, you guys came out went up twenty one
to three, and it was a hard fought game the
rest of the way when it was twenty one to three,
How was that Was that feeling any different than when
it was tight late from a process standpoint for you?
(12:28):
Or do you just try and keep it kind of
flatline per se, going through it and just you know,
controlling what you can control, because at the end of
the day, that's all you can do. Yeah, I'd say
it's more about just just trying to play the next
where they were up, whether or down, back, whatever the
scenario and whatever game. You know, you really just have
to play the next place. You have to. You have
to put whatever serious regards to the result behind learned
(12:49):
from me talking over the sideline, What do you see,
what do you like? Stuff like that, But you have
to go to the next, next series, next play, um.
And that's just really the nature of of the sport.
Like if you ever get too low, you know, if
you ever get too low on a play, you're not
gonna performers will if you ever get too high on
a plate, you're not going to performers. With school, you
kind of have to you know, you kind of have
(13:10):
two good, bad and different. You have to make sure
that you're un cue that you understand it and you
process it, but then move on to the next try,
next play, next decision, whatever it is. Yeah, And because
the game is so long, it feels fast, but it
actually really is a long game. And and Bryce, you know,
as a team, you obviously take things away from wins
and losses from games in general as an individual player,
(13:33):
but as a team knowing you guys haven't played your
best game yet and you're always striving. Tom Brady talks
about it all the time. You know, we still haven't
played our best game. We still haven't played our best game.
What does it mean to you to be able to
go down there, maybe as a team, not play perfect,
but be able to win a close game like that
you touched on in a little bit, But just that
feeling of knowing, hey, we played a close game. We
(13:53):
understand who we are in close games. Just how much
confidence does that give you guys as a team, in
all three phases and on the coaching staff, Yeah, yeah,
I feel like a lot of you You learned a
lot about yourself and games like that in games, Um,
you know when you're at it, you know when there's
there's time periods where it's not the outcomes not certain
and you know, you know you're we face you know,
(14:14):
we face from adversity. You know, their their drives or
plays where your backs kind of against the wall. Um.
You know, I already had tremendous confidences in every team,
but to see how we responded and a lot of
those moments, UM, I felt like that was one of
the positives. I felt like, UM, you know, I felt
like just the unit I'm out there is um offensively,
you know, being able to be in those moments and
(14:34):
not seeing any flinch from any of of our guys
and believe in the same from our defense in the
restaurant team. UM, I think that's one of the positives
that that you can bring from it. But he and
I think there's a lot of things execution wise and
a lot of stuff that again, once we watched the
film and watch the tape, we realized that that wasn't
you know, that wasn't us, and that's not what we
want to be in. Um. There's a lot of stuff
that we still feel like we can improve on. But UM,
(14:57):
you know, with every with every game, there's a is
gonna be it was gonna be positive, there's always gonna
be negatives. And you kind of have to figure out
how to you know, how to grow on top of
those positives and try to create those those negatives. Yeah,
without a doubt. And and you know, Bryce, when when
I was watching the game and I was watching you
guys operate, you know with coach O'Brien, where he is
(15:18):
during the game, your guy's communication, I'm sure it's probably
just like practice. It it seems like you guys have
a pretty easy streamline of I know the game is
a little bit emotionally different and go up and down,
but just the way you guys communicate, it seems like
you're very comfortable with each other. We talked about it
a little bit last time. But how important is that
that relationship with coach O'Brien in those tense moments. I
mean there was a third and five I can remember
(15:39):
you guys ran it. That's a lot of confidence and
he got eight yards and that was a huge statement
there on the third down. It seems like you guys
have no problem communicating. Yeah. Yeah, I think that that communication,
that trust is something that, um, you know, that should
be in the offseason. Um, coach, you know, Obis came
in and and um, you know, and I'm coming in
and being so long to where with me and being
(16:00):
able and being already you know, as good of a
coach heat as he is being having a coach the
people he has for him to come in and and
be as receptive and for us to be able to
have dialogue at bag of forth thing, um him and
really even giving me the opportunity during that trust. Um
you know that's me my my job a lot easier.
And UM, I think, UM, you know, like you said,
(16:20):
in those situations, UM, you know, you learn a lot
about you know, you learn a lot about yourself, you
want a lot about others. And UM, the communication that
we had, you know, I already again even before that
tremendous trust and umb play everything. But um, even moments
like that to see him again, UM, you know, elevating
and in the times he did, and for for us
(16:41):
to you know, for us to again be able to
pull stuff off we needed to UM and me and
Obi being able to communicate, UM again, that was that
was one of the positives that you know, we're working
to build off of in the future definitely, And I
mean it's a great start. I mean, looking where you
guys are and where you guys are gonna be at
you know, middle end of the season. It's always a
work in progress. But something bryce when I'll watch you
(17:02):
and and you know a lot of things stand out
your poison number one, but the way you're able to
keep your eyes downfield even while you're moving out of
the pocket. It seems like the game isn't too fast
for you, because again there's times to run and there's
times to keep your eyes downfield. And what I noticed
is you almost create big plays by keep keeping your
eyes down the field. How important is that to you?
(17:24):
To be able to not only get out of the
pocket and evade when you have to, but be able
to let God, you know, like Jamo, who once he
catches it may he's like the road runner. I don't
know if I've ever seen anybody that fast before in
my life. Uh, you know, obviously Metchi out there is
a wizard of the highest order. But with just keeping
your eyes down the field, how important is that to you,
especially when you're outside the pocket. Yeah, that's something that
I've kind of worked on throughout, Like you know, throughout
(17:47):
playing um, there is always like feel like, especially when
iways younger, there's a big misconception about like about like
quarterbacks and especially quarterbacks are describers mobile. There's a lot
of people that have been have done in a way
at you know, at really high levels now and have
kind of changed that narrative. But especially back when I
was young, Um, there's a big you know, there's a
(18:08):
big narrative one about you know, mobile quarterbacks and especially
about like especially about African American quarterbacks are mobile, about
just wanting to run and just wanting to um and
and just run into you know, not being able to
go to go through reds or whatever it was. UM.
And again there's been a lot of people that have
helped kind of change that. But when I was younger
and kind of learning the position, that was always something
(18:29):
that I was always taught. And it's like you're always
going to be assumed you're just a runner and you
can't throw, so um, that was always something I stressed
was just to make sure that I kept my eyes
down failed whenever I was I wasside podular scrambling and
moving and kind of making sure I always remained past.
And also that's not just something I learned kind of
to disprove anything, but that's also stuff that I've always
(18:52):
heard and and and learned from just from some of
the bed hearing some of the best quarterbacks to play. Um,
whether they like I've I've talked to, you know where
it's talking to NFL quarterbacks or you know, seeing them
on YouTube or on TV talking about things they felt
was important. I always you know that I've never you know,
I've always heard how important it was to keep your
eyes don't feel it when um, you know, when when
(19:16):
scrambling and moving around, pocketing and stuff. So, um, you
know that's something that I've kind of worked on at times. Um. Yeah,
So that that's just that's just always kind of been
something that I've I've always stressed in my game, and
you know, it's stuff that I'm still trying to improve that,
trying to you know, improve that, you know, being more
aware deciphering times to running times, throw stuff like that.
(19:37):
You know, I definitely haven't perfect you and I have
a long way to build, but it's definitely been it
emphasis in my games. WHI So I was younger, Yeah, Well,
as a guy that's a defensive coach, nothing was more
frustrating than not only letting the quarterback break the pocket,
but then he keeps his eyes downfield and ripture guts
out on a crossing route for about thirty yards. That
you know, at the end of that you felt like
you had no control. And Bryce, I gotta tell you,
(19:57):
when we talk about this on the show all the time,
the term game manager, I've just never understood it because
I feel like, to be a quarterback, it doesn't matter
if you're a dual threat pro style, if you're not
managing the game. That's like calling a picture. Yeah, yeah,
he's a game manager as the picture. Well, yeah, he's
a game manager. That matter? Does that term? I just
had to ask you that as a quarterback because it
drives me nuts. Should every quarterback not be a great
(20:19):
game manager? Bryce Young the Forgers, Yeah, yeah, I kind
of know the negative connotation that comes with it, But
in the literal sense, that's very important part of you
can you're in control situations, managing time, managing clock, managing
you know, just just yeah, manage managing the game. Um so,
(20:40):
but I mean obviously I know that. Yeah, It's like,
it's just a weird way to describe. It's be like, yeah, well,
your boss, he's he's a he's an office manager. He's
not the best, but he's an office manager. He's just
gonna manage office. Yeah. It literally says, yeah, that's it's
extreme important. And I think that's something that again I'm
working on mastering and working on trying to improve. But
that's another thing that I've always study, didn't always you know,
(21:01):
seen in and learned from the best highest levels. Is
whenever you watch you know, the great quarterbacks, you can
tell they're always in control of the situation. They always
understand what's going on, in control of the the offense. UM
and and that's something honestly, I've learned a lot from
um that coach coach Obryan has stretched me a lot,
you know, again, coach some of the best ever doing.
And he's always said that the great wins always working.
(21:24):
He is. Actually that's funny. He actually, Um, that's actually
a big thing he's talking about is the best ones
are you have to be a game manager. Oh, thank
you for saying that, Briance, Like you have no idea
that m O. You just gave me for saying Bill
O'Brien said that. Thank you for saying that. No, you're
not alone. He actually my goal term like, um, like,
if you're not you know if you're not in control
of the situation, not managing the game and understanding when
(21:47):
to do you know, when to do certain things like
when you're just not you know, that's not He's seen
the highest level and he's understand how how you know,
at how high of a level, Um, the greats can
do that. And again that's something that I've been trying
to improve on. So I've been trying to stress and
some I've learned a lot from from Coach and Bryan
is just him being able to passed that wisdom and
knowledge along with me to kind of help me in
(22:09):
that process of Again, you don't want to see game
manager because of the native kind of time. I know
you're like, well, he can't run. I guarantee you he
can't run. No, it's just I did. It's so funny
to me. Yeah yeah, But just personally just trying to
go in managing situations, scenario kind of making sure that um,
you know, trying to be as in control of stuff
and understand all these situations. Yeah, you knocked that one
(22:33):
out of the park, all right, Bright, So I got
one more for you before we wrap wrap up episode
two of what many consider the greatest podcast ever recorded
of all time already in except stages. That's not me
just saying that. But you know, we you talk a
little bit about taking something from everybody that you meet,
you know, whether it's coaches. You know that are there
coaches that are gone, And you know you were there
with Mac last year and watching him doing what he's
(22:55):
doing now and you look in the league and you're
trying to see Alabama quarterbacks pop up everywhere, and what
is it? Did you have time to watch the guys
at all on Sunday? And if you do, you know
what did you take from Mac the time it was there,
even if it was just one thing? Yeah? Yeah, I
think I think, like you said, there's been like right now,
I count, you know, I don't think we all kind
(23:17):
of count. Jalen hurts, So, yeah, for sure, for sure.
So with with three alabam With quarterbacks in the league starting,
you know, that's something for me that I take pride in,
like seeing seeing people. For me, that's people that I
especially when I first got there. I'm learning off of film,
and I'm learning the playbook off of film to and
fulfilm Jalen of and seeing like all and and seeing um,
(23:42):
you know, seeing how successful they were in there, being
able to see Mac in person and see UM and
see the legacy that they really built. UM as far
as being a quarterback in Alabama would it mean? And
for me, that's gonna take pride and that's not something
I take lightly at all. Um. I understand, you know,
kind of you know, I understand the way that they
paved and the expectation and standard that they said at
(24:03):
the position. So for me, that's something that I'm I'm
working each and every day to live up to and
trying to make sure that I can, you know, try
to push the brand for it because they've they've they've
set such a such a high standard and doing so well,
not only you know, in college with the next level
and UM and being able to see Mac just Max specifically,
(24:23):
be able to see him one in person and to
see like so many of the small things that like
you know, probably the average viewer wouldn't see, but like
that I can pick up from just because I was.
You get to see all the reps in person, you
get to see all the practice reps, and you can
tell how in control he is and how in command
he is. And that's something that I noticed immediately in college. Um,
you know, when I first got their news Alabama and
(24:44):
seeing that translate to next level of seeing and translate
to the Patriots like that for me that it's super
cool to watch. It's super inspiring for me to watch
really um to to see how well he's been handling
all the scenarios, how well he's been, Um, you know,
how well he understands. You can tell he under stands offense.
You understand the defense is going to in. Um. So
for me being able to see that, um, it's really
(25:07):
you know, it's really inspiring for me. And again just
the brand that Jalen to Mac said before me, like
that that's something that I take Priday and don't take
lightly definitely, and it's something obviously is translating to the NFL.
And and it's gonna be a fun ride, man. And

(00:21):
the Bryce Young Podcast. Really excited to be back. A
big week in college football, a big week for Bryce
and and speaking of the star of the show, I'm
just kind of the vessel. Uh. This guy's the the
real meat and potatoes of the show. Alabama starting quarterback
Mr Bryce Young? Bryce, what's up? Man? Not much excited
to be here? Are you doing? Doing good? A week?
Week to second one second podcast in the tank Man
(00:43):
had a really good first one, and I want to
kick this one off. I know everybody's excited to hear
from you, you know, Saturday, Bryce being the first you know,
road game in that type of environment, a road environment
down in the swamp, a place I'm sure you grew up,
you know, watching on TV and understanding that, you know,
communication it's key. We always talked about that, right and anything.
How hard was it to be able to communicate? I
(01:04):
saw you guys kind of going from the silent uh
there early once it got rolling. How it was communication
in the created case? It was it was tough. Um. Yeah,
like you said, like I grew up, you know, like
going up you play n c A like you play
and save for that was always like one of the
hardest places to play that. So, like that was a
place that I always like as a kid un playing that. Um,
(01:25):
and you know, it was it was. It was definitely loud,
the fans, their fans, you know, definitely showed up. It
was it was pretty hard to communicate, but um, you
know it's something we were kind of prepareful. It was
those wire me the circumstances and like, and you know
how well I feel like we responded and how well
we were able to communicate despite um, you know, despite
just you know, the conditions. Um, you know, I'm super
(01:48):
super proud of my teens for for out of responding
how we kind of responded to good. Yeah, obviously guys
coming out with the thirty one win, and you know,
so much goes into the travel of going to play
that game. I think everybody just because they don't know,
because they're not on the inside that they see you
go on the field and it's hyping. Everybody's yelling. But
before the game, you know, while you're stretching, while you're
getting ready, you know, what what's your mindset at? I
(02:10):
mean you just are you kind of chill? I mean,
are are you going around tapping people up. What's kind
of the bryce young look. I know it's loud, we
can hear them from outside the tunnel, we can hear them,
But what's probably young like in that moment. Yeah, personally,
I'm probably you know, I'm I'm I'm pretty focused around
that time. Um. Um, typically a little more a little
more chill, like a little more um, a little more
(02:34):
calm and not like I feel like, you know, a
lot of that energy is pretty easy to like you know,
with a generaline and you know, with all with the crowd,
with your at home room, like there's a lot of
you know, obviously there's a lot gonna be a lot
of energy. So like for me, Um, just like my
position and quarterback, there's a lot of thinking that goes
into it. Like you have to be able to be composed.
In my opinion, you got to be able to process
(02:54):
a lot. I have to be able to feel that
in generaline and like you know, function off it, but
also be able to to keep your composure and know
how to function because there's a lot of thinking. There's
lack it's it's a big mental game. So um, for
me around that time, like, um, you know, I'm definitely
focused about whatever I need to be, you know, thinking
about trying to prepare myself mentally, um and honestly, you know,
(03:15):
it's it's kind of weird because there's a lot of
things I'm trying to balance, like trying to balance you know,
being focused, having energy, and having fun because like you know,
moments like that, you know, they're they're super intense in
the moment, there's a lot of ship, but like that stuff,
you know, that's you know, at the end of the day,
like you know, it's it's fun to playing those big moments,
a lot of fun stuff. I try to balance kind
of all those emotions out and try to find, like,
(03:36):
you know, a little middle ground. Yeah, it's funny how
everybody gets ready different. You know, you've got the quiet guys,
You've got the guys that won't shut up. I don't
know how this is now in the locker room, but
we had guys that just would not shut up if
you walk around talking you know about how ready they were.
But you know, bryce going on the road and playing
at home, they're too totally different things and experiences, even
though the fields the same with same length, same amount
(03:56):
of players. Do you like going on the road more
or at home. Is it about even for you because
I know guys that like would much rather quiet people
down sometimes than get them going. Yeah, I mean there's
you know, there's for for us, like for me and
friends of the team out, I feel like we kind
of attack these gaming mind set the same like you
have to. You have to you know, you have to
approach the same um. And you know, there's definitely that
(04:20):
boost when you're at home knowing that you're having you're
knowing you have your fans support and you have your
fans have you know that your fans how how you're
backing and and that's definitely big boost. And there's also
stuff you can make better positives out of being on
the road. So um, I think you know, I don't
think I really have like favorite, I'd rather be one
place because you know that stuff you can't control each
(04:42):
figure out, you know, dang, I'm here, thing I'm not,
I'm on the road the dame. I mean, I don't
like that's kind of tough. That's kind of a tough,
Like no, it is. It can be equal, it can
be they're too totally different different experiences. Yeah, definitely, but
kind of back to what you said about like how, um,
you know everyone's kind of different. I've always been like
a really b advocate of that. Um, Personally, I'm my
(05:02):
own individual process and how I prepare before games, like, um,
you know how my energy is stuff I do and
and and a part of that. You know, you have
to sometimes depending on like you know your role and team,
you have to make sure you read the room and
understand that what you ring. But I've always been a
big advocate of there never being one way to prepare,
one way, one mindset to have, Like I've always been like, personally,
(05:24):
I I become comfortable in my process and comfortable with
what I feel like I need to feel, um, going
to a game. But I've always been to be advocated like, hey,
if you're a guy that needs to be juiced up
and listen to like and listen to you know, and
listen to some some hype of music and be talking yell,
and then do that. And if you're a guy that
wants to that doesn't need music and you just chill,
you're a guy who's somewhere in the middle and listen
(05:45):
to calm Like I've always been a big advocate like
just knowing everyone's different and there's no one way, there's
no right way to to prepare, especially when it comes
to something like that prepare youself mentally. So that's just
like a little bit in my process. But like I
don't think it's anything to be like, hey, it's writing,
you should do it too, or like yes, if I
want my team to do, like I understand, I feel
like everyone, especially you know, at the level I'm at,
(06:08):
I have a lot of common in my teams. And
you said there's people prepared differently some people, you know,
there's different people in the locker room, but I I
know that everyone's doing what's necessary for them and we
all kind of kind of get there. And I've always
that's always kind of been some number really been in
treating and this how different people you know, people really
like are as far as getting ready for stuff if
(06:28):
it's a big miss. Like you said, there's people that
are that are that are hyper treat a calm like
and I've seen people be successful in like every different way.
I've seen people seen come off as like almost nervous,
superhead down and go out before I see people be
over the confidence the same thing to go out before
and then vice versa. I've seen people be overconfident maybe
(06:49):
not play well the same thing like, and I've seen
everything in between, and I've realized, like you really just
have to have your own process and understand what works
best for you. And um, like I've been trying to
you know, I feel that found kind of what that
is for me. But I've noticed also like it's definitely
not like a like a universal like what to do,
what not to Yeah, it's almost like a fingerprint, like
(07:10):
everybody has kind of a different way that they get ready.
Like and there's an old saying, I don't care how
you get ready, just play good. You play good, You'll
never hear me say anything about how you could, you know,
be eating pop rocks and drinking pepsi for all I care.
Whatever works to get you out there. But you know,
there were so many big plays in that game. Bryce,
when you go back and look at it, you know,
not only when you were on the field, but you
know when Ford was on the field on offense and
(07:31):
Alabama on defense. What what's what's one play that really
stood out to you? And it could be any play,
It could be offense, defense, special teams that if you
could pick one, what's one that kind of stands out
because you and I think can both agree games like
this type games come down to about a handful of plays. Yeah, definitely,
I think I think the two point conversion for US,
um the stop that our defense stop was probably big,
(07:51):
you know, definitely a big play the game. I mean
for for you know, obviously with with everything that was
going on, you know, with going into the game, you know,
they had just scored for our defense, you know, easy,
it was easy for our defense be like, oh whatever,
they just scored. They just joy out, feel like, let's
just give up, let's lay down. But they understood how
important that two point version was. They locked back and
(08:12):
got to stop when it was needed, and ultimately that's
where it ended up, you know, whinning us the games.
And I think that was probably play. Yeah. And and
you know when you're watching that Bryson over there on
the sideline, that's when you know, we always talk about culture, right,
we talked about it last time. You know, the offense
goes against the defense so many times in practice, and
you want to be competitive, but at the end of
the day, y'all are on the same team, and it's
(08:33):
like once you get out of fall camp, ever realized like, oh,
thank goodness, we get to play somebody else rooting those
guys on Did you say anything to them before that play?
Did you have any time to say something one of
the guys on defense? Are you just kind of let
them do their thing? Yeah? I kinda, I kind of.
You know, a lot of times, like there's not a
lot of times, there's not really too much overlapp as
far as like there's really just that one when special
(08:55):
teams played and then they're on the field and where
the sideline of runs time out sometimes time outs for
bigs like I have, Like like you said, like there's
so much competition the off season and spring ball, you're
going back and forth with defense, and was like I've
I've told people um on the defense. It's like it's crazy,
Like I'm happy I finally get the roof for you guys.
Like when you guys make a play, I'm like, dang,
(09:17):
Like that means were but like it's great. I get
to root. I get to like roof for you guys
and be excited and like because I get turned up
with show. It's like it's fun. But I have but
even in moments like that, Like I have the utmost
confidence in our defense, like seeing their process, seeing how
well they you know, going against them. And then again
even at a time like that, like people don't understand
(09:39):
how hard it is to put that last whatever, like
to put a drive or put a bad bad player
behind you and the locker the next place. You know,
this is the big one and to make it and
like and for our the defense to make a play
like that again, like I have the like the most confidence. Yeah,
and everybody was getting excited when y'all got that stop
and you know, it's it's such an emotional game meant
(10:00):
and you're trying, I guess, keep the emotions as much,
you know, to a minimum as possible. But when you
were out there, you know, and and the game was
ending and you knew it was done and the last
play was ran, what was that feeling like for you
getting a big win earlier in your career? A statement
went on the road in the swamp, Like we talked
about full capacity, not limited capacity. Everybody that could fit
(10:21):
in there was in there. Uh, is there a moment
that it hits you, like, you know, hey, that's a
great win, and knowing you the way like I think
I do. You're probably ready to get onto the next
one and watched the film and correct it. But is
there a moment in time Bryce, we're just for a
second you enjoy it or maybe take some time after
the game. Yeah, yeah, definitely, I think it's important, like
you have to Yeah, that was, Um, you know, they're
(10:42):
a really really good team. That's a really really hostile
environment of playing and frest Born Road. Um, and and
you know, and and you know gone win. Um, you
know that that that was you know it was. It
was really good for us. We have a tweet four
hour roually where you know when when you have to
enjoy it, you know, you enjoy it for that night
and and um, you know looking back in the film,
(11:02):
which we've gotten a chance to do now, UM, I
know all around, there's a lot of stuff that you know,
we see on the film that we're not necessarily proud of,
and stuff that we have to improve improve on. And um,
there's a lot of stuff that this is a whole
that we we feel like we can improve on it.
There's a lot of stuff now that we're looking back
at it that we wish we did differently. But at
that for the time being. Um, you know, we kind
of fell into that rule just enjoying it for a
(11:24):
little bit. Um, you know you have to again seeing
for being that close to being them being such a
good team for us to be able to pull it
out and end up winning like that was you know
it was. It was definitely really it was immediately after
when the clock hit zero was like you know, it's
it was back and forth, really hard thoughts. So that's
(11:44):
probably what I felt the best. Now again looking back
at it, Um, you know as a whole, we know that, Um,
there's a lot of stuff that we want to improve. Um,
there's a lot of stuff we did that we weren't
proud of. So um, now it's probably that that was
probably the that went for sure. Yeah. I love how
you say, like there's stuff we did we weren't proud of,
Like it was like it was something like not football.
(12:05):
I don't know, it's just that's it's funny because you
guys hold yourself to such a high standard. That's why
it works. And that that leads perfectly to my next question. Bryce.
You know, you guys came out went up twenty one
to three, and it was a hard fought game the
rest of the way when it was twenty one to three,
How was that Was that feeling any different than when
it was tight late from a process standpoint for you?
(12:28):
Or do you just try and keep it kind of
flatline per se, going through it and just you know,
controlling what you can control, because at the end of
the day, that's all you can do. Yeah, I'd say
it's more about just just trying to play the next
where they were up, whether or down, back, whatever the
scenario and whatever game. You know, you really just have
to play the next place. You have to. You have
to put whatever serious regards to the result behind learned
(12:49):
from me talking over the sideline, What do you see,
what do you like? Stuff like that, But you have
to go to the next, next series, next play, um.
And that's just really the nature of of the sport.
Like if you ever get too low, you know, if
you ever get too low on a play, you're not
gonna performers will if you ever get too high on
a plate, you're not going to performers. With school, you
kind of have to you know, you kind of have
(13:10):
two good, bad and different. You have to make sure
that you're un cue that you understand it and you
process it, but then move on to the next try,
next play, next decision, whatever it is. Yeah, And because
the game is so long, it feels fast, but it
actually really is a long game. And and Bryce, you know,
as a team, you obviously take things away from wins
and losses from games in general as an individual player,
(13:33):
but as a team knowing you guys haven't played your
best game yet and you're always striving. Tom Brady talks
about it all the time. You know, we still haven't
played our best game. We still haven't played our best game.
What does it mean to you to be able to
go down there, maybe as a team, not play perfect,
but be able to win a close game like that
you touched on in a little bit, But just that
feeling of knowing, hey, we played a close game. We
(13:53):
understand who we are in close games. Just how much
confidence does that give you guys as a team, in
all three phases and on the coaching staff, Yeah, yeah,
I feel like a lot of you You learned a
lot about yourself and games like that in games, Um,
you know when you're at it, you know when there's
there's time periods where it's not the outcomes not certain
and you know, you know you're we face you know,
(14:14):
we face from adversity. You know, their their drives or
plays where your backs kind of against the wall. Um.
You know, I already had tremendous confidences in every team,
but to see how we responded and a lot of
those moments, UM, I felt like that was one of
the positives. I felt like, UM, you know, I felt
like just the unit I'm out there is um offensively,
you know, being able to be in those moments and
(14:34):
not seeing any flinch from any of of our guys
and believe in the same from our defense in the
restaurant team. UM, I think that's one of the positives
that that you can bring from it. But he and
I think there's a lot of things execution wise and
a lot of stuff that again, once we watched the
film and watch the tape, we realized that that wasn't
you know, that wasn't us, and that's not what we
want to be in. Um. There's a lot of stuff
that we still feel like we can improve on. But UM,
(14:57):
you know, with every with every game, there's a is
gonna be it was gonna be positive, there's always gonna
be negatives. And you kind of have to figure out
how to you know, how to grow on top of
those positives and try to create those those negatives. Yeah,
without a doubt. And and you know, Bryce, when when
I was watching the game and I was watching you
guys operate, you know with coach O'Brien, where he is
(15:18):
during the game, your guy's communication, I'm sure it's probably
just like practice. It it seems like you guys have
a pretty easy streamline of I know the game is
a little bit emotionally different and go up and down,
but just the way you guys communicate, it seems like
you're very comfortable with each other. We talked about it
a little bit last time. But how important is that
that relationship with coach O'Brien in those tense moments. I
mean there was a third and five I can remember
(15:39):
you guys ran it. That's a lot of confidence and
he got eight yards and that was a huge statement
there on the third down. It seems like you guys
have no problem communicating. Yeah. Yeah, I think that that communication,
that trust is something that, um, you know, that should
be in the offseason. Um, coach, you know, Obis came
in and and um, you know, and I'm coming in
and being so long to where with me and being
(16:00):
able and being already you know, as good of a
coach heat as he is being having a coach the
people he has for him to come in and and
be as receptive and for us to be able to
have dialogue at bag of forth thing, um him and
really even giving me the opportunity during that trust. Um
you know that's me my my job a lot easier.
And UM, I think, UM, you know, like you said,
(16:20):
in those situations, UM, you know, you learn a lot
about you know, you learn a lot about yourself, you
want a lot about others. And UM, the communication that
we had, you know, I already again even before that
tremendous trust and umb play everything. But um, even moments
like that to see him again, UM, you know, elevating
and in the times he did, and for for us
(16:41):
to you know, for us to again be able to
pull stuff off we needed to UM and me and
Obi being able to communicate, UM again, that was that
was one of the positives that you know, we're working
to build off of in the future definitely, And I
mean it's a great start. I mean, looking where you
guys are and where you guys are gonna be at
you know, middle end of the season. It's always a
work in progress. But something bryce when I'll watch you
(17:02):
and and you know a lot of things stand out
your poison number one, but the way you're able to
keep your eyes downfield even while you're moving out of
the pocket. It seems like the game isn't too fast
for you, because again there's times to run and there's
times to keep your eyes downfield. And what I noticed
is you almost create big plays by keep keeping your
eyes down the field. How important is that to you?
(17:24):
To be able to not only get out of the
pocket and evade when you have to, but be able
to let God, you know, like Jamo, who once he
catches it may he's like the road runner. I don't
know if I've ever seen anybody that fast before in
my life. Uh, you know, obviously Metchi out there is
a wizard of the highest order. But with just keeping
your eyes down the field, how important is that to you,
especially when you're outside the pocket. Yeah, that's something that
I've kind of worked on throughout, Like you know, throughout
(17:47):
playing um, there is always like feel like, especially when
iways younger, there's a big misconception about like about like
quarterbacks and especially quarterbacks are describers mobile. There's a lot
of people that have been have done in a way
at you know, at really high levels now and have
kind of changed that narrative. But especially back when I
was young, Um, there's a big you know, there's a
(18:08):
big narrative one about you know, mobile quarterbacks and especially
about like especially about African American quarterbacks are mobile, about
just wanting to run and just wanting to um and
and just run into you know, not being able to
go to go through reds or whatever it was. UM.
And again there's been a lot of people that have
helped kind of change that. But when I was younger
and kind of learning the position, that was always something
(18:29):
that I was always taught. And it's like you're always
going to be assumed you're just a runner and you
can't throw, so um, that was always something I stressed
was just to make sure that I kept my eyes
down failed whenever I was I wasside podular scrambling and
moving and kind of making sure I always remained past.
And also that's not just something I learned kind of
to disprove anything, but that's also stuff that I've always
(18:52):
heard and and and learned from just from some of
the bed hearing some of the best quarterbacks to play. Um,
whether they like I've I've talked to, you know where
it's talking to NFL quarterbacks or you know, seeing them
on YouTube or on TV talking about things they felt
was important. I always you know that I've never you know,
I've always heard how important it was to keep your
eyes don't feel it when um, you know, when when
(19:16):
scrambling and moving around, pocketing and stuff. So, um, you
know that's something that I've kind of worked on at times. Um. Yeah,
So that that's just that's just always kind of been
something that I've I've always stressed in my game, and
you know, it's stuff that I'm still trying to improve that,
trying to you know, improve that, you know, being more
aware deciphering times to running times, throw stuff like that.
(19:37):
You know, I definitely haven't perfect you and I have
a long way to build, but it's definitely been it
emphasis in my games. WHI So I was younger, Yeah, Well,
as a guy that's a defensive coach, nothing was more
frustrating than not only letting the quarterback break the pocket,
but then he keeps his eyes downfield and ripture guts
out on a crossing route for about thirty yards. That
you know, at the end of that you felt like
you had no control. And Bryce, I gotta tell you,
(19:57):
when we talk about this on the show all the time,
the term game manager, I've just never understood it because
I feel like, to be a quarterback, it doesn't matter
if you're a dual threat pro style, if you're not
managing the game. That's like calling a picture. Yeah, yeah,
he's a game manager as the picture. Well, yeah, he's
a game manager. That matter? Does that term? I just
had to ask you that as a quarterback because it
drives me nuts. Should every quarterback not be a great
(20:19):
game manager? Bryce Young the Forgers, Yeah, yeah, I kind
of know the negative connotation that comes with it, But
in the literal sense, that's very important part of you
can you're in control situations, managing time, managing clock, managing
you know, just just yeah, manage managing the game. Um so,
(20:40):
but I mean obviously I know that. Yeah, It's like,
it's just a weird way to describe. It's be like, yeah, well,
your boss, he's he's a he's an office manager. He's
not the best, but he's an office manager. He's just
gonna manage office. Yeah. It literally says, yeah, that's it's
extreme important. And I think that's something that again I'm
working on mastering and working on trying to improve. But
that's another thing that I've always study, didn't always you know,
(21:01):
seen in and learned from the best highest levels. Is
whenever you watch you know, the great quarterbacks, you can
tell they're always in control of the situation. They always
understand what's going on, in control of the the offense. UM
and and that's something honestly, I've learned a lot from
um that coach coach Obryan has stretched me a lot,
you know, again, coach some of the best ever doing.
And he's always said that the great wins always working.
(21:24):
He is. Actually that's funny. He actually, Um, that's actually
a big thing he's talking about is the best ones
are you have to be a game manager. Oh, thank
you for saying that, Briance, Like you have no idea
that m O. You just gave me for saying Bill
O'Brien said that. Thank you for saying that. No, you're
not alone. He actually my goal term like, um, like,
if you're not you know if you're not in control
of the situation, not managing the game and understanding when
(21:47):
to do you know, when to do certain things like
when you're just not you know, that's not He's seen
the highest level and he's understand how how you know,
at how high of a level, Um, the greats can
do that. And again that's something that I've been trying
to improve on. So I've been trying to stress and
some I've learned a lot from from Coach and Bryan
is just him being able to passed that wisdom and
knowledge along with me to kind of help me in
(22:09):
that process of Again, you don't want to see game
manager because of the native kind of time. I know
you're like, well, he can't run. I guarantee you he
can't run. No, it's just I did. It's so funny
to me. Yeah yeah, But just personally just trying to
go in managing situations, scenario kind of making sure that um,
you know, trying to be as in control of stuff
and understand all these situations. Yeah, you knocked that one
(22:33):
out of the park, all right, Bright, So I got
one more for you before we wrap wrap up episode
two of what many consider the greatest podcast ever recorded
of all time already in except stages. That's not me
just saying that. But you know, we you talk a
little bit about taking something from everybody that you meet,
you know, whether it's coaches. You know that are there
coaches that are gone, And you know you were there
with Mac last year and watching him doing what he's
(22:55):
doing now and you look in the league and you're
trying to see Alabama quarterbacks pop up everywhere, and what
is it? Did you have time to watch the guys
at all on Sunday? And if you do, you know
what did you take from Mac the time it was there,
even if it was just one thing? Yeah? Yeah, I
think I think, like you said, there's been like right now,
I count, you know, I don't think we all kind
(23:17):
of count. Jalen hurts, So, yeah, for sure, for sure.
So with with three alabam With quarterbacks in the league starting,
you know, that's something for me that I take pride in,
like seeing seeing people. For me, that's people that I
especially when I first got there. I'm learning off of film,
and I'm learning the playbook off of film to and
fulfilm Jalen of and seeing like all and and seeing um,
(23:42):
you know, seeing how successful they were in there, being
able to see Mac in person and see UM and
see the legacy that they really built. UM as far
as being a quarterback in Alabama would it mean? And
for me, that's gonna take pride and that's not something
I take lightly at all. Um. I understand, you know,
kind of you know, I understand the way that they
paved and the expectation and standard that they said at
(24:03):
the position. So for me, that's something that I'm I'm
working each and every day to live up to and
trying to make sure that I can, you know, try
to push the brand for it because they've they've they've
set such a such a high standard and doing so well,
not only you know, in college with the next level
and UM and being able to see Mac just Max specifically,
(24:23):
be able to see him one in person and to
see like so many of the small things that like
you know, probably the average viewer wouldn't see, but like
that I can pick up from just because I was.
You get to see all the reps in person, you
get to see all the practice reps, and you can
tell how in control he is and how in command
he is. And that's something that I noticed immediately in college. Um,
you know, when I first got their news Alabama and
(24:44):
seeing that translate to next level of seeing and translate
to the Patriots like that for me that it's super
cool to watch. It's super inspiring for me to watch
really um to to see how well he's been handling
all the scenarios, how well he's been, Um, you know,
how well he understands. You can tell he under stands offense.
You understand the defense is going to in. Um. So
for me being able to see that, um, it's really
(25:07):
you know, it's really inspiring for me. And again just
the brand that Jalen to Mac said before me, like
that that's something that I take Priday and don't take
lightly definitely, and it's something obviously is translating to the NFL.
And and it's gonna be a fun ride, man. And
speaking of fun rides, that's gonna wrap up episode two.
