00:00All right, I'll start off just by, you know, confirming Joe will be our quarterback going forward.
00:06Tough decision, but one I felt was in the best interest of our football team.
00:10I feel that Joe gives us the best chance to win right now.
00:14With that being said, not giving up on Anthony by any means. Really not. He's a young player with a ton of talent.
00:22You know, and he'll use this time to continue to develop and grow as a professional.
00:27Listen, I mean, I've been doing this for a long time.
00:30I'm just gonna go out there and play my game and and do the best I can to, you know,
00:36elevate everybody and give them confidence and and
00:39you know, just do my thing like I have. Listen, I've already played a couple games this this year. So,
00:44I think everybody knows what to expect and we can just roll right into it.
00:48Listen, I think the thing we got to remember here is Anthony's really young.
00:52I think it would have been, I know that when I was that young,
00:56there's no chance that I would have been able to have
00:58the perspective and just the right head on my shoulders to
01:04handle it and take it the right way. But now, being,
01:08you know, this is my 17th year, I do have that perspective.
01:14So, if you can kind of give any of that to him in terms of just, this doesn't have to be a negative thing.
01:20No, you still got to prepare, you know, whatever road they need me in as of right now for the team,
01:24you know, I'm gonna take advantage of it, I'm gonna dive into it.
01:26And like I said, I'm still gonna prepare as if I am the starter because you never know what's gonna happen.
01:30I feel like every player is still learning, you know, ins and outs because, you know, you get new information from new guys
01:36that you just be around and, you know, I'm still taking information from guys, especially like Joe. So, of course, I'm still learning.
