Speaker 3 (00:08):
I told you, I told you I prepare every single week,
you know, And you said, the life of being in
the backup, it's the life of being an NFL quarterback,
staying radied so you don't have to get ready.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Wanted you to find out that Jackson had not the
clear than that they're starting. Well, I just found out, right,
So I just knew. I just knew I had to
be ready. I just knew. I just knew I gotta
be ready.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
And uh, whatever's required for me to be ready, I'm
ready for it.
Speaker 4 (00:36):
James, did you get much of the first I mean
you probably don't need a ton at this time, but
did you get much of the first team reps this week?
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Today?
Speaker 5 (00:42):
Uh?
Speaker 3 (00:43):
In red Zone, I got I got to select few reps.
So you know, red Zone you gotta be you got
to be the best. You gotta be fast and efficient.
But we we all we shared reps. But today with
limited reps, I just got a little bit more.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
So you got first team reps Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Also, yeah, I got some runs.
Speaker 5 (01:02):
Yes, you were a little surprised when you heard that
you were gonna start like originally, I believe I'm ready
regardless whatever this team need me to do.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
You know, I'm ready to do it all right, So
regardless if like he's a hey James, like you're gonna
be number two, James, You're gonna be number three?
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Like I'm ready, I'm preparing for whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
What do you think of this defense and the challenge defense.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
I know the head coach. I was with him in
New Orleans, so I know how they roll. So they're
gonna be ready to play. They're gonna be playing fast,
they'll be playing tough, and we have to be uh
willing and able to do the same.
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And we are, I'm sorry, as prepared as you always are.
Speaker 6 (01:46):
Does the fact you didn't have that game last week
with this group for the first time, does that make
you more.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Prepared this week? Just because you have that game under
your belt with these guys.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
I mean, the fact that I'm possibly getting Dearis slayback
is something that I'm excited about, uh, just to have
another target available because I think of what Isaiah did
last week of being here for you know, forty eight
hours and coming in to get some catches.
Speaker 2 (02:10):
But these guys excited. Man.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
What we're looking for is we're searching for our first
road win, right, and we're searching searching for our first.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
Win in a very long time.
Speaker 3 (02:20):
So our intention is focused on that, Uh, not on
who's playing and who's getting repped. This is about, man,
how can we how can we beat the Detroit Lions?
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Last week was the first time offensive lines talk about.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Those guys up front there their their beasts. I think
all of us in this room.
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Are confident behind Jermaine I, Lumini, Andrew Thomas, jms is
is one of the top centers in elite, John Ruyan
and a crafty veteran of GVR.
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Those guys, they worked their butt off headed about a
great a great office line coach in Carmen man like
I always believe that all it's a line and have
to stick together. They have to be the best group,
and by far that's our best group and we lean
on them.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
You mentioned is that what was it like a guy
comes in on Thursday and then you're throwing him on
fourth down on Sunday? How did that come up both
you have the trust in him or what did he
show you?
Speaker 2 (03:15):
Hey?
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Were you out there? Like That's what I'm saying. It's
like when you're out there, it doesn't matter. We got
to be ready, you know when you when I put
on this helmet and strap it up, like you have
to be ready and h and we take pride in that.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Man. Isaiah's a pro.
Speaker 6 (03:30):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (03:30):
He was very excited to get some catchers. You know.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
I told him, I said, hey, listen, man, I don't discriminate.
You might you might be getting this peel. You know,
he was ready.
Speaker 2 (03:38):
He stood up to the challenge and did a great job.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Think of the way Dart looked in practice this week.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
He looked good.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
I'm telling you here a young superstar, you know. So
so I know he's gonna be ready to go.
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Uh. You know I'm ready to go. We all ready
after Hour wins last week. Do you look forward to
no wind?
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Yeah, it's gonna be I'll look forward to this atmosphere.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Uh.
Speaker 3 (04:03):
The Detroit just reminds me of just that culture, like
it's it's motown there like a sitement, you know.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
I just remember playing there.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
It looks like a warehouse when you're walking in there,
walking in the warehouse, and you open up and you
see for it everywhere, and then you see blue everywhere,
and it's a pretty exciting place to play.
Speaker 2 (04:20):
James. Now you know you're starting on Sunday. Is there
any cramming that has to be done for you to
be ready?
Speaker 6 (04:26):
Or you just listening to me like talk this entire
time preparing Like you literally just ignored everything that I
just said, you know, pressures for the unprepared.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Okay, I am ready every single week.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
Will Friday be exactly the same as it was last week?
Speaker 3 (04:45):
I mean, if you don't ask me questions that everyone
else has asked me, and I can get my massage in,
get my needles, I actually be right on time for Yes. No,
it like I'm telling you, like it's it doesn't change
for me, you know, I love it, Like I'm so
grateful to to you know what his uniform do my job, man,
(05:07):
So it don't like nothing really changes for me. Maybe more,
you know, text to the receivers just in terms of
a communication standpoint, but outside of that, in terms of studying,
is it's the same Evie.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
You guys, you guys could actually with the loss be
the first team in the NFL actually eliminated from playoff contention.
Is there any pride that's taking that or extra motivation
and like no, not us.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah we our attention is not said to.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
The intention is defeating the Detroit Lions and playing out
very best and that's what we're focused on, you guys.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
The text messages to the receivers
Speaker 3 (05:42):
And emoji I do, I do, I do I just
emojis every now and then, like mainly the one where
you're like blowing up the smoke out there, like let's
go get it like that way, you know in the eyes,
you know my eyes they always I just made people
live with the eyes
I guess it's the life of being a backup.
Speaker 2 (00:01):
