00:11uh theo usually at the end i'm always asking the guy like hey pull something out of the locker to

00:16show us it's something you have to have it's a must-have at the facility you got two three

00:21touchdowns in two weeks let's start with uh what is the thing you need get too close to the locker

00:26but the thing for you locker is messy these boys right here the chargers ipads always run low

00:34playbooks running low phone needs some juice headphone needs some juice that uh the chargers

00:39are mandatory for you yeah so is that like gen z is like a must-have for gen z millennials because

00:46at 40 years old i wouldn't have picked the charges the first thing uh in my locker i mean it might be

00:51all our ipads are all on on the ipad now so my thing's running low on juice i need i need

00:56some of the charges all right the juice is loose and you've been loose the last two weeks man uh

01:01you kind of seen your game continue to grow your production your targets your usage um just kind

01:07of talk about these last two weeks man you're really coming into your own is that something that

01:11uh you kind of expected it this early in the season yeah i think it was just a matter of time

01:16uh i think the big thing is me and jackson got some good chemistry going on he trusts me i trust him

01:20um i'm where you know he needs me to be and i think as a young a young quarterback um it's good

01:26to have a tight end that is is reliable and i think that's what i've been able to do for him

01:29is that something that started in the summer talking about you guys's chemistry and the extra

01:34throwing together when did you guys really start working on that chemistry and knowing

01:40where you need to be for him at the right time yeah i think it started as soon as he got here

01:44honestly before he got here um he he texted me as soon as he got drafted he was like man like

01:49we're gonna get to work we're gonna do this thing we're gonna do a big so um from as soon as when

01:53he got here we started working together um you know we we got along pretty quick um and i think

01:58we've we've grown a good relationship on the field but also off the field as well daniel

02:02bellinger had himself a big game as well and he's a fan favorite someone that the fans have been

02:08wanting to get targeted a little bit more for the longest now so was that something that you guys

02:13kind of knew that your production or your targets were going to go up against the saints and

02:18how happy were you for your boy 82 that he had himself a couple catches as well yeah so we knew

02:24that um just with the game plan we're going to do a lot of two tight end stuff um but we weren't sure

02:28how much we're going to be involved in the past game um but obviously it was a big game for both of

02:31us um i love to see belly getting the getting the ball uh getting the love a little bit um he works

02:37super hard quiet guy he's not gonna you know moan or complain about anything but um he's just as

02:42capable as anybody else we have out there the fact does the fact that you're making plays on the

02:47field second year with this team in this offense when you see you guys have five turnovers in a

02:52row does that allow you to be vocal and tell guys hey we need to step it up like how are you attacking

02:58this i guess leadership position that you have sure i think uh the the good thing i've done is i have

03:03good relationships with with pretty much everybody especially on the offense um so i can have those

03:07conversations with people um kind of set them straight you know help them refocus because i know how it

03:12is when you you make a tragic play like that it can it can be tough mentally so i have a good

03:17relationship with guys i think that's helped in the leadership aspect one and four going into a

03:21short week against the eagles last year this team kind of went through some adversity as well

03:26how do you make sure that guys don't get down and continue to go out there and compete and put

03:33their best foots for it yeah you gotta you gotta wash it uh every week's a new week especially a short

03:37week you don't have time to be licking the wounds or feeling bad for yourself um then a day we're

03:42moving the ball really well we just we we shot ourselves in the foot so um i think that's a big

03:46thing the the big message that we're we're accumulating throughout the team and especially

03:49on the offense and um you know we just gotta keep being productive like we have been on first down

03:54and and just take care of the football that charger that's a usbc or one of them old school
