how nice was it to get some points on that drive you had yeah it was great um I knew coming into it if I went down and scored on the first drive i' probably be done so uh really proud of the guys for putting it in there you know after the Miss field goal it was great and it was good Rhythm too no penalties real smooth drive all you could ask yeah no it was great um yeah couldn't we threw the ball well uh ran the ball super super well um and got the ball in the end zone so it was good you think this preseason was they kind of know what you can do I mean you didn't get a whole lot of reps the preseason yeah look I I think they uh I think they know what I can do um I I I think I displayed that last year uh whenever I was asked to come in and play the last two games and then you know throughout practice throughout training camp OTAs the whole thing um but at the end of the day you know I'm going to go out there and and do what I do um very confident in what I can do and you know do whatever I can to help this team J how much you feel like you've improved since this time last year I know we've asked that a lot but just if you are called upon to go in at some point just how for you feel yeah no I I feel extremely prepared um being you know in the offense for the second year uh you know I I feel like I got a good rhythm with the guys uh I have a good rhythm with Shawn whenever he's calling plays and um yeah I I feel super comfortable and uh extremely ready whenever the the time might be jar coach said that he expects all three of y'all to make the roster so knowing that I think you probably be count on as as a vet to some degree how interesting is that role shift when you come in behind Tom bradio behind Derek behind Russ and that be the vet for yeah for sure um yeah I I feel like I have a very unique experience um you know playing behind some in my opinion the best quarterback to ever play and seeing what that was like day in and day out and then being behind some some other really really good players and coaches as well so um yeah I mean obviously I'm I'm going to do whatever I can to to help Bo get prepared U obviously he's never had he's never had a a real season like this in the NFL so um you know I'm going to help help him in whatever way I can uh and then also be be ready to go if if you know if I if I need to be so uh you know just ready ready for the season to get here and get started have you always been supportive of I mean obviously you'd love to play right being there every snap but you're very supportive of bow have you always been that way of just what's best for the team I guess yeah for sure I I look I there's 91 guys in this locker room and we're all in here you know for one common goal and that's to win games and um obviously this is a a tough time of the year um but I mean you can see we get a 90 yard pick six or whatever it was and the whole team went nuts and I mean you you don't see that everywhere and um you know we've we've put a lot of work in together um you know all the way back to you know April or whatever it was and so we're you know this is a extremely close team I've always tried to Tred to be the best teammate that I could possibly be no matter the circumstan so I I I'll always do that you gave uh you gave B chemistry is better that he and it's manifested itself this preseason what do you see as the difference between this group than when you guys left here a year ago yeah obviously I think uh you know Sean's been trying to lay that Foundation you know last year was a big part of that and um I we have a lot of guys coming back from last year um so this team is just naturally just a little closer we've been around each other a little bit longer and uh it's a great group of guys I can't speak highly enough about this team um a lot of fun and everybody works hard um every it's it's honestly amazing to see a huge group of guys like this there's no entitlement um nothing of the sort and everybody just works hard and wants to win and that's and everybody's a great teammate so that's what it's about last one Mike you uh had said that you were going to compete and you know go for that starting job I think back in OTAs or whatever how do you think you did and what was your reaction when when the coach told you that b got the job yeah uh I mean first of all obviously I was very disappointed you know um I know I'm a starting quarterback in this league I have zero doubts about that and you know it just didn't shake out my way um but I know what kind of player I am um kind of person I am and I like I said earlier I I'll be ready to go if if I need to be and um yeah like I said I I have no doubts that I'm a I'm a starting caliber quarterback in this league
