Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's going d what's going on? Right? So your coach
(00:03):
is in the aisle.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
Your coach gets yeah, what's that saying about him?
Speaker 1 (00:09):
No? I think, like I said, that's the that's what
we're trying to build, I think, And it starts with
the coach. Starts with the head coach. The intensity, bring
it every day. Uh, you know, taking no crap and
you know we're out there on the field. But also
it comes to a time where with our guys offensively
and get over there and get some tussles and kind
of having some penalties and extra after the whistle, you
can get us some trouble. But for mentality, I like it.
(00:29):
I think that's what you want. I mean I almost
got in there, but I think maybe another day maybe,
so we'll see what happened. I have any idea what
started seemed like Trevian Henderson might have been in. Yeah,
I think passport. I think it's physical. It's physical gaming.
You know, it's a it's a man's game, and things
happen out there. I'm not sure if anything on this
field happened, but I think there's a time where obviously
you don't want to come out here and and fight
(00:50):
and get into trouble, but at the same time you
want you want to back down for nobody. So I'm
sure your coach will get the mind get kind of preacher,
you can't have that, but at the same time kind
of the back of our minds. So that's kind of
how we want to play the intensity and kind of
when the whistle's going to play hard, on the whistle stops,
you'll get off and get away. Drake, what did you
(01:10):
like about what you guys were able to do today offensively?
And I just felt like you guys were in a
pretty good rhythm to start. Yeah, thought it moves well.
You know, it's good you'll playing against another team. You're
having all our guys out there and kind of getting
the rhythm, you know, build some plays together and move
the ball. I thought we did some good things offensively
and wish we would have ended it better, you know,
tipball down there, but hey, what happens. That's football and
(01:31):
that's why you practice those But uh, overall, powered up front,
the guys up front, they battled hard. So I'm looking
forward to getting things, you know, going as to getting
in Minnesota and Friday night, so really quick there, how
quickly do you feel like you're building your chemistry with
Mac Collins considering how much time he missed in me. Yeah,
you know, we're Tarios. The chemistry is already there, so
(01:52):
it don't even matter. So three week two, Paul, was
it in eyes thing or just kind of a bang?
Yeahs could play for Bobby. I think I could have.
I think I could have, you know, looked him a
different way and he barely got him out. I tried
to throw it with some speed down there in the
red zone and hopefully not have tipballs. But a good
play by him. Unfortunate, but play. I think reading nice
playing in a preseason game. Yeah, I think Prices is
(02:14):
a time to go out there and get the jitters
and you know, real life when I'm live, you know,
it's different from me being able to get tackled and
get hit. So it's good to go out there and
you'll kind of feel like live bulls are flying around
and kind of not have that you know, the first
you know, snap of the season, anticipation coming out here today. Yeah,
anytime any practice, any any team period. Really, you know,
(02:34):
you know, you get kind of the the jitters of
you know, wanting to do things right and make good
plays and at the same time it kind of bounces
out with with the confidence of myself and the confidence
of the guys around me. So that's what you know,
it was mixing sport special. You feel like you're leaving
the field today and saying, hight, that went fine. Yeah,
it looked like some football out there against a different team,
and you know, it felt good to kind of get
our operation done against somebody else. And we did some
(02:56):
no huddle that I thought we went well. So it
was good for us to you know, learn from it,
watch it and and uh kind of build off it.
You know what you've been doing with Josh has been
teaching the new offense and kind of see it against
another team. Yeah, exactly, positive admiration. Actually think positive when
you're moving the ball and I feel like he has
some good players. It's positive. And you'll come out here
(03:18):
not like you you know, didn't extc you and didn't
move the ball well. So it's always positive.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
You and Gene obviously same draft class. Only want to
pick separate, teach you guys. You're probably gonna be compared
for the large part of your careers. Now, how much
do you put on yourself to sort of keep pace
with him and everything he's doing.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
He said, a great year. I saw him out there. Yeah,
congratulated him. What a what a what a year he had. Yeah,
I think there's a there's always in the back of
your mind, and you know the draft class came in
with and anytime you play him especially, it's a little different.
But yeah, like you said, I think, uh, just trying
to worry about myself. But at the end of the day,
keep up those guys. Those guys are you know him
and Caleb and Bo those guys are you know good
good friends of mine and uh, you know the friends
(03:56):
until we play each other so much appreciate approach to
pass Broye. That's yeah. I think you saw it in college.
I think it's speaks for itself. And I think coming
here in the NFL, when you've got you know, Bobby
Wager coming into the A gap, it's a little different.
And uh, I got full confidence in him. You have
the completion by contested in the end zone. Yeah, how
much confidence do you have in k Yeah. Coach keeps
(04:18):
saying you do the right thing, keep doing it over
and over and you you know, willing to block in
the run game, and I can trust you. You know
you're gonna be out there. And I think, you know,
there's a bunch of guys that are making things like
that happen. Uh, Pops dough a great job and different
guys in the room. So it's comforting knowing that you're
gonna be in the right spot, and it's my job
to give him a chance having step out there for
some Yeah, it's good to get him in there at
the end. You know. I think anytime he you know,
(04:40):
you kind of get him in the in the lineup,
it adds a different kind of swagger in a huddle.
So in this offense to what you pot I mean, Pop,
I think he's tough to guard. Like I said, I
think you see it on little crossing routes and a
little quick moves when he's meeting a defender, you know,
face to face. So I think, kind of, all you here,
(05:00):
it's gonna be my our job to try to get
him open in space and let him run the football.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
Seeing a different team, what's the thought process about the
growth of VR offensive line?
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Yeah, shoot, those guys are battling. Go credit those guys.
We got, you know, some rookies in there. We got
some you know, veteran Garrett and Big Mos coming back,
so you know, credit to those guys, Big Mic. I mean,
good gosh, it shows up every day, it doesn't complain,
always in a good mood, and I think you just
credit those guys. Were starting to build kind of build
a front, and we got some guys coming in there
(05:29):
that are kind of earning a role and kind of
being the guys that dressed on Game Den. You happen
to see you Vabel leading, Yeah, I saw, yeah, something
I would say. It was like, uh, the the trump
gunshot it wounds, So I was laughing at that. But
uh no, I think you saw he's breaking down the
huddle and I'm not even sure what happened when it happened,
but uh, you know, he said, I don't worry about
(05:50):
We'll see it on film, so we'll see something break
it down exactly.
Speaker 2 (05:54):
Drag.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
It seems like you've done a really good job avoiding
bad looks as a passer this season.
Speaker 2 (05:57):
I'm wondering how much of that is just your own
maturation and how much of that is working with Joshna.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Yeah, I think it's built within the offense, but also
at the same time, we always talk about the court room.
You know, do we have a good play or do
we have a bad look? And there's some times out
there where I felt we had a bad look and
I'm just trying to get to a better play. I
know you're a U n C guy, but Jason Tatum, yeah,
I know, but you don't usually see those guys around
here too much. What was it like to, yeah, shoot,
you know, you know he's a he's a duke guy.
(06:21):
But see what he's done for Boston and uh, obviously
I told him it was what a heartbreak what happened
with him. I'm looking forward to see him come back.
And uh, it's funny story. My my brother's here, my
oldest fear Luke. His first start was in Cameron against
uh Duke and he was guarding Jason his first start.
So it's pretty cool. Do you still compare yourself to
Jason as a basketball player? You said, I say, it'd
be way off brand. But he's got probably way bigger
(06:43):
bag than I do. So no, but sweet, thank you.
Guys think
It's going d what's going on? Right? So your coach
(00:03):
