from training with him you learned that you might not have known before you you know start as far as far as what um just you know maybe his hard work or anything like that or anything like you anything you learned about his game yeah um I I think he's I've always heard you know him being a freak athlete you know explosiveness the speed the strength and so to to see it you know day in and day out it's been it's been cool and I'm just very excited to have him on board have you seen the mural in Brazil of you and U and for your personally what's the opportunity like going to Brazil for this game I think it's a it's a Once in a-lifetime Opportunity something to be very excited about you know the international stage Brazil from what I've heard it's it's a very amazing Place beautiful place um in a very very passionate passionate place as well when it comes to sports and and their fans and so I'm excited to get a taste of that you SE the Mir I have I have it's pretty pretty neat appreciate it how much have you talk to Tanner about uh brazel or have you that I haven't too much haven't too much what are your early Impressions on the Packers great question great question um now they're um this this is a really good team it's a really good team they got a lot of really good players have a really good quarterback and running back and receiver core and the dline is dline is is is really good and attacking the ball and uh creating problems up front and we just um you know it comes down to preparation you you guys have heard me say it enough you know how how we uh how we prepare and how we have prepared you know and um have an opportunity to just display that and compete against a really good team jayen you guys spent a lot of time this summer working on the on the blitz and dealing with that uh how much progress do you feel like you made and do you feel like you're in a good place as far as dealing with the blitz I think we I think we've gotten better in our aspects I think we've gotten better in all aspects I think there are some things that are more glaring right that we see that pop out more pointed to the eye but I think there are a ton of different things that we need to improve on and I think as a football team we've taken steps in the right direction and now we have the opportunity to assess where we are and that's the exciting part about it do you feel like do you feel like this is like this year is this opening game is kind of like your first one in in 21 with you know Nick's first game cuz not a lot of people know what the offense is going to look like cuz they haven't really seen it and everything feel like you have I don't I don't I don't necessarily have that a feeling you know I could honestly uh doesn't really matter what everybody else thinks about what we're going to do it's just about you know the preparation that we put in and ultimately finding ways to succeed on the field got to got to group of of guys that put a lot of work in that are dedicated spent a lot of time over the summer building up until this point and so we prepared we we've put in a lot of hard work and we've all committed to to what we're trying to do it's a matter of just carrying that out day in and day out so we're all excited we've talked a lot about your autonomy at the line of scrimmage and that increasing is that sort of vitalized you you made those comments on the radio about maybe the eagerness to learn being halted is that kind of revitalized you a little bit it's not a um I don't it was never an issue of um it's never an issue or uh a lack of eagerness I've always desired to be and expressed myself as being uh very coachable taking in with what I'm being fed and just trying to lead in the best way I can you know I think um where we are right now is I'm walking into a year where I have new roles and I have new responsibilities and it's that's where we are you know and I'm excited for that Journey along those along along those lines you you did mention that you know you maybe have been told not to worry about it I guess how different is it this year in terms of like your process each week preparing you know studying Blitz or press pressure looks and kind of like being able to sort those calls out I think as a quarterback you're always evolving you're always growing you're always taking in New New knowledge and new information and I think that's what makes us better you know and um that that's that's that's always been my Approach is to grow every day um grow every day learn every day and take in the coaching every day and as I said I have I have new roles and responsibilities but everybody has new roles and responsibilities on on each on each team in each year because no team is the same um when you go from year to year and so I'm just excited for this group my my role in that group and um you know we always talk about dominating your box and you know accepting your role and doing that and so we're just taking it day by day in that role in that role in uh learning it you've been known to seek advice is there somebody that you've sought out particularly for that I've just been U really been an open ear to to the guidance of my coaches speaking of those roles and responsibilities how have they changed from last year as AAR to this year what what are those different responsibilities and roles that you feel like you'll have this year I don't want to get into the details of of what what's what you know I think that's the unique thing about the media is there no you guys really don't ever know what U who's told what or you know who's supposed to do what I guess but I'm I I'm just going to do my best to do my job on this team and leading the best way I can you know we have a really really good thing going we've had a really good camp we've built a lot of good momentum and we want to go out there and play at a high level and continue that continue that yeah behind the scenes made to my lot of deserving being a captain I think he he's consistently who he is he's he's been a guy that has been here for for for a good length of time and very passionate about what he does very uplifting has has built a a chip over time i' say in a good way um and I just love him you know he's there for his teammates you know I know there's um there's a picture um there's a picture maybe 2021 uh of him being there for me you know in the moment where we kind of we came up short in the game and you know that that's the that's the type of teammate he was and after that moment you know a lot of wins uh started to comeing so um he just needs to continue to be the leader he is continue to grow as a player um and continue to be himself that's that's that's enough for him Jaylen um what stands out to you about um Kell moer and with the way how he teaches things you know brenon last we talked about there's difference between being smart and teaching smart what SS out about Kellen when he's just installing different concepts and the way he relays information to you guys yes it's it's he he just does a really good job everybody has a different flavor with with the different people I've been able to learn from coaches I've been able to learn from they all have been great all have been great all have all also had a different approach to what they do and so for Kellen he's very very meticulous um strong minded for sure and um he has a vision you know and I think um he he's doing he's doing a great job so far and you know we're excited for what's to come for us what what's he like on the what's he like on the headset um I don't I don't know yet uh I don't know uh maybe ask me next week you think the like I mean the practice probably the game will be different than the way he's been on the practice Yeah I mean y'all don't assess practice like that anyway so sets the games are you taking a different approach far as to travel to Brazil given a long flight and also uh I asked mobe what his line number was uh in college what was yours six um and for for traveling it'll just you know take take on the the approach of whatever they tell us to do you know they they usually give us good um I don't know if it's a remedy or they they give us things to do the things to drink the things to hydrate um good leg sleeves and whatnot and kind of treat it like a regular game you know I we we'll find out what the difference in in 9 to 10 hours is I think that's how far it is uh 9 to 10 hours is the difference from uh flying here to Flying the Cali so probably a little a a little longer but we'll see the difference but we're excited I'm excited and you know it's it's a great opportunity for us you got love have you got the no Jordan love it not not too much not too much
