Joe Flacco on Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals QB Room

Transcript

00:01Listen, I think you can probably make too much about that, honestly.

00:04I mean, listen, we're just two quarterbacks sitting in a room,

00:06and it's probably not like we're doing anything groundbreaking in there.

00:14We're two quarterbacks in a room just like any other two quarterbacks

00:17in a room for the most part.

00:20I think, like I said, for me, still being new in the offense,

00:25and it's not just him, it's also Jake, but just being able to see.

00:28I'm still at the point where you're able to kind of see the operation of things

00:32and kind of bounce little questions like that off of those guys.

00:35I think that's still the biggest thing, and maybe with Joe,

00:38he has a way of doing it that's a little bit different than Jake,

00:40and then I have a little bit of a different way,

00:42but if I can kind of understand where they're coming from,

00:44then it makes it a little bit easier for me.

00:47Has it been weird or awkward at all seeing the buzz created by him coming back,

00:51knowing what that ultimately means for you?

00:53No, not at all.

00:55I mean, I think, you know, I have a job to do,

01:01and I'm focused on doing that job.

01:03And if that comes to an end at some point, like, you know,

01:08I just want to feel good about the job that I'm doing when I'm asked to do that job.

01:12So, no, not at all.

01:13What is your process or goal like today when you're not going to throw?

01:16What do you try to get accomplished at practice when you, I mean, by all,

01:20we assume you're going to start Sunday,

01:21but when you're not practicing on a day like this?

01:23Yeah, I mean, I've never done it much besides the last two weeks.

01:27But ultimately, just get the feet moving a little bit so you're not just standing around all day.

01:31And then listening to the calls and getting the walkthrough reps so that the operation is as smooth as possible.

01:38I think that's an underrated thing.

01:40And when you get reps, you don't really think about it.

01:42But getting those reps and going through it is important.

01:45So just hearing it in my helmet and making sure that I'm paying attention as much as possible

01:51and going through the process when Jake's out there taking those reps is important.
