Young talked about his first start in the NFL and focusing on making improvements with the team ahead of the regular season.
Price To talk about That yeah I mean that's part of the game Of course um you know football is a Physical sport you know you're going to Get it's part of the job description You're going to get hit and you know That's again that's that's the game we Play so um you know it's part of the job You you know that that's that's coming So can't let that that's not something I Think of can't let that affect your Decision making or what you're you're Going through so uh for me you know That's part of the game it happens and You know I'm just you know focused on The next play I'm trying to make sure I Execute every time I I get a chance to Out there Yeah I mean you know at the time there's You know you get there's adrenaline and Again you're just focused on the next Place so um you know it it it's part of Football it wasn't a stop and pause and Figure out you know that that's that's The position we play so um you know at The time it wasn't really something I I'd processed or took in it was just Again you know throw the ball you get Hit you know what's the next call so That was kind of just my mindset at the Time Didn't go any better than it did Bryce In your in your three series what what
Went wrong yeah it was just you know Lack of execution um you know starting With myself again there's there's things That I definitely could have done better Um you know and you know I think us as a Unit you know we we all take Accountability and we all you know look In the mirror first and you know we Talked to you know Coach Wright made That point Um you know with us in the locker room Of you know us being a team in unit that Looks in the mirror and takes Accountability and you know that's what We put out put on tape that's what we Had so now we have to figure out you Know we have to learn from it we have to Own it and you know hope to get better But again it's a team it's a team effort It's all of us you know top to bottom Again we take complete accountability of What happened so obviously you know we Want to improve and be better obviously You're not able to take hits until now Coach Wright said it was kind of like a Welcome to the NFL type of hit Did you feel that type of way too like All right we're in it now the season Started you're able to see some of those Flying bullets yeah I think I think just As a quarterback you know you go like You know you go months and months Without actually getting hit and this Isn't something that's new this year but
Kind of every year kind of the first Time you get hit it's like a cool like All right cool like you know it hasn't Happened but like all right I remember What it feels like like we're back Playing football so Um you know yeah it's definitely like You know the first time I've been hit Since college so you know you don't get The same you know tackling deals or full Physicality that other positions get so I think universally Um you kind of every first hit you're Always like all right cool like now We're back into season mode Um but again at the time you know you Just keep it pushing you know you have To got to move on to next play Um just just just didn't execute from From you know from from my end from Again us as a unit you know it's not It's not um you know this person or this Place we're we're a team we're a group We're a unit um we execute um you know It's just again just you know as a unit As a whole um just just so like Execution Um I mean you know for me I don't look At that as an excuse um you know we We're all you know they're they're we're All calling plays we're all trying to Execute each player we're trying to Score every Drive Um so regardless of what the play calls
May be or what happened you know again Obviously you know there's a bigger Picture and there's a you know the Coaches are you know they're handling Things the way that they want to you Know they obviously it's not just Um random they have a plan there's There's a reason we do what we do um but For us we're not you know we don't go Out there and hear a play call and think Oh let's not you know we we want to go Out there and execute um that's not an Excuse for us um you know we we had good Plays being called um all night and Again we didn't execute so that's on us That's on me um first foremost and us as A unit as a group Um so you know again we gotta go watch The tape and go learn from it already Well that was made during the Performance draft about your durability Could you take big hits how did your Body feel after the three you took and It's just a handful of plays a day and You think that what you showed today Maybe show you a little tougher than Than people thought um yeah I feel fine Um physically I'm you know blessed I Don't have any and you know there's Nothing that you know I feel fine now And again you know for me whatever People may assume or may may think is Going on or whatever the expectations Are I can't you know I don't control
That and you know those are what they Are for me that's not something that I've put put stock into as some not Something that's on my mind so again for Me you know we went out and we didn't Execute like we wanted to so those are The things that I'm looking at that you Know when we're as a group we're looking At we want to improve on we have to get Better at so Um you know that that's really where my Focus has been Something I'm sure you dreamed about as A kid what were the emotions like for You walking on it Yeah um it was surreal um you know it Was definitely you know like you said First first time starting Um as a you know as an NFL quarterback It's still honestly crazy to say Um so you know there's definitely Emotions there's definitely you know It's a crazy it's just real moment Something I'll you know I'll always Remember Um you know again you kind of have to Dial that back and you know you're only Able to live in that moment a certain Amount because obviously there's a task At hand that you have to put your focus Into but yeah I mean it's it's a dream Come true for sure um it's a blessing Um and you know it's it's it's crazy That you know it's crazy to be where I'm
At so I don't take that for granted I'm Blessed for sure but at the same time of Course um you know you got to think About the task at hand and you know now Reflecting on it again obviously there's A lot of growth a lot of things that you Know I want to prove on us as a team as A unit we all want to improve on um Obviously so you know we're that's where My my mindset is right now Frank mentioned that sacks aren't always On the o line sometimes you can get it Out quicker any of those sacks do you Regret not getting rid of it sooner yeah Again just like you said it's not it's Not a this it's this person is this unit It's it's this position group not at all Um when when sax happen when that's on All of us so yeah 100 that this x you Know the sex on me as well I can of Course get the ball out quicker um you Know we're a group we're a union we're a Team so it's no there's no finger Pointing um and you know of course if There's a negative play again there's a Sack ultimately I you know I allow Myself to get sad I could have gone the Ball out quicker I could have moved I Could have been so yeah of course I take Responsibility for that and then I know You know we all have that same mindset Of what could we have done better as a Group as a unit um so yeah we're we we All take accountability for that and you
Know we all want to want to get better And proof so we can be more efficient as A unit When maybe you are under one correct Yeah um and you know I think one of the Things that for me it really means a lot Is you know we we're having Conversations on the sideline and we Talked and everyone and again the Accountability that they're taking as Well um again for me I know the stuff That I want to improve I want to get Better at Um you know in all aspects and all Facets and I don't look at sacks trying To look at failed drives as this is this One person this one units or one group's Fault it's all of us that we can get Better at but again you see them having The exact same mindset um coming you Know coming back you know us having Conversations about what happened what's Going on hey this this you know how can We get better how can we avoid things in A situation you know again we're Competitors you want to go out and Compete um we didn't get the result we Wanted today for sure and you know we Have to improve on that um but you know This is the time for us to work through Those things to get better and to grow As unit and Um you know again now that it's it's Done all we can do is look back and look
At the tape and try to learn from it Game slows down for you as opposed to Where Yeah um you know I think you just just Try to you know I think that's that's Just the mental side so um obviously More reps more experience but on top of That um you know honing it on on game Plans when we get to that point I'm Honing in on on you know on on film and On um again Bank reps um you know I Think it's a culmination of a lot of Things um timing chemistry Um again experience with the people Around you experience going against Certain you know in in different Environments so and again that's stuff That I can work on try to be proactive About and you know I want to keep Continuing to get better at um so I Think just a culmination of all those Things and you know also receiving you Know the coaching that I have having you Know the great coaches that we do here Listen to them and taking their advice And um you know again just uh you know It's it's an everyday thing trying to Trying to work to that but um you know Again it's you know my side I want to Improve their stuff I I obviously can Can do better so um you know day to day Just trying to grow in that Last one And your offensive lineman we're coming
