Speaker 1 (00:00):
Upon for the review.
Speaker 2 (00:06):
Hello everyone, how are we doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:10):
Blessed? Thanks for asking, man, I appreciate that.
Speaker 3 (00:13):
How did you feel like the offense performed today? It
looked like a pretty solid day all around for you guys.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, I think it was a good day.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
You know, it's a great anytime you get to go
and compete against someone else, it's always fun. It's always
fun just to be united in that. You know, training camp,
you're back and forth, you know, with your own team,
and then you know, you you start to you know,
you the offensive defense start to kind of form that rivalry.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
But you know, at the end of the day with
the Panthers and for us.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
To kind of be able to go out there and
be united, have each other's backs, you know, root for
each other.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
That that part's always fun.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
Practice without any major scuffles or it like that. What
does that say about necessarily, uh, the maturity of this
team and everyone keeping their focus on the task at hand.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Yeah, just two teams wanted to want to work, want
to get better at football. You know, the which is
you know, coach can always talk to us about that.
I want to keep it clean, want to make sure
it was football. I wanted to to not uh for things,
not to be disrespectful, and you know we commend them
both sides, just again wanted to get our workpally.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Grip someone up.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Though in that one there was that that's a uh
yeah that was I'm not it was a pile, so
I didn't get to see who it was.
Speaker 3 (01:26):
And was that one moment from twenty eight on Cleveland
you kind of just shuck.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The ball that Yeah, yeah, that's that's the classic dB special.
They get a PBu you want to throw the ball back.
So yeah, it's all it's all competition.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Will will you benefit? Can you benefit from playing this
first preseason game and the second one whereas last year
you did that?
Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, I'm super excited. I think it'll be great for us.
A lot of familiar faces, but obviously some some new
pieces and every year, you know, we're a new team,
So I think it's just a great opportunity for us
to at the first opportunity we can, we can go
out there and you know, try to establish ourselves, get
more and more comfortable, get reps, and I think it'll
be a great thing for for myself, for all of
(02:10):
us just to kind of get our feet wet a
little bit in the preseason, and you know, we're gonna
make sure that we do everything we can to execute
and take advantage of that opportunity.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
In the preseason, did you did you and Dave talk about,
you know, maybe changing the format this year?
Speaker 2 (02:26):
You know, he coached Canals and and everyone in the
front office they make those decisions, you know, whatever it
is that that you know they ask of me as
us as as an office, as a team, you know,
that's chain of command of what we do. But again,
I'm excited to be playing, you know, I think again,
it's a great opportunity anytime we get to go out there.
You know, we get to go into the bank. Uh,
(02:46):
we get to go out as a team. I don't
take that for granted. It's a blessing no matter what
it is. So I'm definitely excited to seem.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
To target ted aroa a lot today. Is that just
a natural thing? Is Dave rad scheming him up?
Speaker 1 (03:01):
And like, O, where is y'all's connection coming from? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (03:04):
Just wanted to do what we can to take advantage
with the defense gives I have all the conference in
the world and him and the rest of the receiving corps.
You know it's gonna be today. You know, he he
probably got a few more targets. And you know there's
been practices where it's been him, it's been Adam, a Sha, whatever,
it may be, all the all the way down.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
So so I went today.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
You know, we wanna make sure that we can do
whatever's best for a team again, take advantage of the
defense gave us.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So that's just how it happened to be today.
Speaker 5 (03:31):
There was a play and team where it seems like
y'all are on different pages, but then the next play
you went right back to him, same play crowd. You
see him kind of respond to those moments where you
know it would be easy to get frustrated but have.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
To go straight on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yeah, Team Max's done a great job, and really I'm
super grateful the entire receiver room has that next play attitude,
which is huge just as a team, as offense, we
talk about a lot of the as a as a
coaching staff and as a unit. You wanna learn from
the last play. We come back and we have conversations
on the sideline, but that's not you don't want to
take that last play into the next play, good or bad.
(04:04):
And everyone has that mentality. So whenever there's something that
we have to recalibrate, we come to this sieland we
talk about it, we get better from it. And then
there's from my standpoint, there's zero loss of confidence, loss
of faith, trust anything. You know, if a play doesn't
go our way, that's gonna happen, and you know, we
have to turn the page and get to the next one.
Speaker 6 (04:20):
So what you guys learn today about your offense since
you're playing guys you hadn't played before, but you didn't
know going in.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Maybe Yeah, I think it's it's good to watch us react,
watch us react to different things. Obviously our defense does
a ton of things, but you know, you get very
familiar with who you're going against. You get familiar with matchups,
and you know, when you come in against a team
that you're not familiar with and you know, uh, you
don't know what's what's gonna come, it's good to see
where our natural reactions are. So I think this is
(04:47):
just a great learning experience for all of us.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
I have.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
I love how how we responded to things. You know,
obviously there's things to clean up, things you want to
get better at, but all in all, I think it
was just a great learning opportunity. I haven't watched the
film yet, so excited to go in too meetings and
do that. But anytime we get the opportunity, it's a
good thing.
Speaker 5 (05:04):
Have you had the opportunity to talk to JC at
all about that car accident that he's had, has the
lot program and he's feeling I had a chance to
do that.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Uh yeah, yeah, talk to him.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
You know, he was out there even without practicing, just
as much energy as he always has. You know, that's
and that's the person he is. You know, I know
he would have led to be out there but doing
everything from the sideline staying. Uh they got him a script,
he's he's falling with the with the play calls, making
sure he's in gage and you know that's the energy
it is. Uh No, it happened, obviously, I don't know the
(05:34):
specifics of everything going on, but uh yeah, I mean
that's our guy. We know he's always gonna do everything
he can, so I'm grateful he's he's on our side.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
On the preseason games, do you think not playing many
snaps last year in those games might have impacted y'all early.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
In the season. No, I think that.
Speaker 2 (05:53):
Again, I trust the coaches and decisions they make and
I'm sure that you know, they look at things from
a year to year basis, whatever they feel the team needs.
You know, the decision they make is we talk about
them in the quarterback a lot. Whatever decision is made,
that's the best card in the house. So there's there's
no point fingers, there's no no blame it. And again
all that's last year. This was a decision for this year.
(06:15):
I'm I'm I'm happy, I'm excited for it, and that's
all focused on.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
Working together with Austin k. Do you notice any major
differences between the two when the center.
Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah, no, which is which is saying a lot for
how well they uh play the position physically, but also mentally.
Great communicators, both of them. They do a great job
in the run game, in the past game and you know,
the center position, there's so much that you don't see
from the outside looking in. You know, they have to
be the people who who drive so much all the
(06:46):
you know, they run game points, pass game communications. They
have to not just see who's in front of them,
but they have to see the whole contour of the
defense and both of them.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Do it at such a high level.
Speaker 2 (06:56):
Both super smart guys, great communication with with me and
the rest of the quarterbacks whoever's in So yeah, I
have all the comforts the world and whoever it is
that's in there.
Speaker 6 (07:07):
Any advice you gave the chador out.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
There, I don't.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I don't have any advice. He's had a ton of
success his his entire life. You know, he's you know,
he's he's he's the reason, the reason he's here is
he knows how to how to get here. So you know,
I'm I'm trying to find my way be the best
I can. And the same with all those guys over
there on that side. They've all been great players, are
a reason they're all playing NFL football. So I believe
(07:32):
everyone has their their own path, everyone has their you know,
their their journey.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
So I'm rooting for for all those guys that you're
now being asked. I know, I know.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
Yeah, we're the same age, which is another thing too.
Yeah we're the we're the same age, so uh we
might be the same class or something. So yeah, it's uh,
it's always funny sometimes like year three, it doesn't uh
doesn't always feel like that but yeah, I've been been
here for a little bit longer. But you know, we're
all growing, all learned from experience, and I'm excited for
all the guys.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Over there know him at all coming out.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
Uh. Yeah, we've ran to each other with uh, I
think like UH camps when we're younger.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
You know, quarterback roles a small world race.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
You talked about the chain of command and coaches make
the decision and you're happy with all that. But last
year was your first year with coach Canal Is is you?
Speaker 1 (08:23):
Is he?
Speaker 4 (08:23):
I know you guys have a great line of communication,
but are you able to use your voice a little
more and offer up or is that is that still
at two way Street? Is there a little bit more
or less?
Speaker 6 (08:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (08:36):
Yeah, Well coaching now has is always prided himself in
having open dialogue with all his players, which is something
that I'm super grateful for. And really, uh, he's he's
always around, always in rooms, always want to hear things.
So he's definitely made it for an environment for myself
and for everyone, uh to voice how we feel, voice opinions.
So that's something you're super grateful for.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
As a QB, you get that kind of input when
it comes to or does he Is he listening to you?
You say, look, I wanna play a little more in
the preseason, or you know, i'd like I'd like to
you kind offer those suggestions.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
That stuff that I leave up to the front office,
leave up to the coaching staff. You know, I haven't asked,
not asking, And I trust them. They they know it's
best for your team. It's not just about me, it's
about everyone. So yeah, trusting them in.
Speaker 6 (09:17):
That yesterday on an interview that you weren't happy about
being finished last year, but it was the way you
handled it or really impressed him. Can you kind of
expand on that and just like what we were you're
in where were you unhappy? What were your thoughts to that?
Speaker 1 (09:39):
That and and that's something from last year. You know,
we're all competitors.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
I want to be what's best, but just like now,
I wanna do whatever's best for your team.
Speaker 6 (09:50):
Houston, So you'll have c J out there. You guys
are familiar with each other. What did you guys do
this summer? Y'all spend a lot of time together, it
seemed like from social media and and what's that relation?
Speaker 2 (10:00):
Yeah, yeah, that's my brother. Yeah, We've known each other
for a long time. We've been close for a long time,
and that's someone I always always root for. I'm super
excited to be out there UH with him, with a
lot of guys from from Houston I know obviously have
a ton of respect for them as an organization. Right now,
it's all about Cleveland, so that's not something that's on
our radar right now. We're a week tweak, but obviously
(10:22):
being able to do stuff like that with UH people
you're you're really close with, not just because of football.
Speaker 1 (10:27):
It's a blessing. H
Upon for the review.
