QB Jacoby Brissett

(How has the transition gone so far for this offense obviously learning a new system for you?) – “It’s been going well. I’m taking every day in stride and trying to get better and build on the day before. Obviously it’s a little process with a new offense and things like that, but I think we’ve been doing a good job of trying to string together good days and good meetings.”

(You’ve had two straight days with just consistently attacking the middle of the field. Is that just veteran wisdom, understanding of the scheme? What do you see in that?) – “I think you’re just a product of seeing whenever the play is called and stuff like that, but it’s been nothing consciously going out there and doing because I’m a veteran or whatever; but it’s just been when the plays are called, that’s what some of the reads take me to.”

(Was there a conversation that you had before signing here with Head Coach Brian Flores in which the question was asked, “Will you be okay being a No. 2? What are your expectations?” Was there any conversation like that where they just pushed you to know if you were eager to be a starter and could accept being a backup?) – “No, the conversation was just to come in here, work hard, compete and be a good teammate. And I think that’d be my situation no matter what.”

(To think of a homecoming for you as a West Palm guy, Dwyer High School. What’s that going to be like for you this year?) – “It’s been good so far, so I expect it to be the same throughout. Obviously being close to home and a lot of my friends that have not been able to watch me play and come out here to a practice or something like that. So it’s been good so far.”

(Head Coach Brian Flores called you a guy’s guy today. He said you assimilate well with everyone in the locker room, even the defensive side of the ball. What does that mean to you being a “guy’s guy?”) – “I think I love my teammates. I think that’s what that means. I think my main objective is to be a good teammate no matter my role and that’s something I don’t take for granted.”

(What’s the difference between Brian Flores as an assistant and Brian Flores as a head coach?) – “He’s the head coach now. (laughter) That’s the difference. Probably his paycheck, too. (laughter)”

(After playing in New England and Indy, how tough is it to readjust this weather?) – “I grew up here, so when it’s hot, it’s hot. There’s no getting used to it; but I had what, 18 years of a head start than some of these guys, so I think I’m all right.”

(Obviously with the new facility, you guys could go inside with this weather, but is there anything that maybe that you guys do after practice to kind of deal with the heat?) – “Drink fluids and recover.”

(What have been your early impressions of QB Tua Tagovailoa?) – “He’s worked hard. He’s a good kid. I’m not the quarterback evaluator, so it’s only been Day 2; but in our room, we’re striving to get better and he is and me and Reid (Sinnett) and Charlie (Frye) and George (Godsey) and Jordan (Salkin); we’re just trying to go out there and constantly build on good days, learn from our bad plays and mistakes and keep trying to put this team and this offense in the right position.”

(What’s it like being the oldest quarterback in the quarterback room?) – “Shocking. (laughter) I forget sometimes when I’m in there and I can see the 23-year-old and the 28. And that’s not even old, so don’t tell me I’m old. (laughter)”

(I was going to ask for your early impressions of WR Jaylen Waddle?) – “He’s fast. He’s a good player. There’s a reason he was drafted where he was drafted. He’s doing a good job. He’s learning. He’s getting better and he’s taking the strides that we need to for this offense.”
