Christian Watson details what he can add to Green Bay’s offense

Having that year with Aaron and now having the past Jordan, can you see any of Aaron’s influence in Jordan’s game? You know, he had three years. You see any of those influences? Uh, for sure. I mean, I you definitely kind of see flashes of 12 here and there. Um, but I mean, I think Ten’s done a really good job of kind of making it his own. Uh, kind of, you know, incorporating like a little little things here and there, but but doing it his own way. Uh, but I definitely I definitely see some flashes sometimes for sure. What are those flashes? When do you see that? And then in what ways do you feel like he’s made it his own? He is different. Um, I mean, honestly, the biggest thing is just kind of how he looks when he’s when he’s throwing the ball sometimes, kind of just hanging in the pocket. Um, and just, you know, slinging it down field. It kind of just I mean, I’m sure if you put a couple throws side by side, they look uh pretty similar. But I mean, I’ll just say his poise and um just how he how he kind of navigates and and makes uh throws down the field. What’s different about it? What’s different about it about the two? Yeah. Uh I mean there’s I mean there two I I think that there’s still two completely different quarterbacks. Uh I mean I obviously I got uh 12, you know, later later in his career. So um I’m sure even I saw a different version than uh you know guys who played with him before me. But, um, I definitely think they’re they’re two different quarterbacks. I think that, uh, Ten just has a has a has a, you know, a different, you know, mindset when he’s out there. He’s, um, you know, just looking to make plays with with, you know, everyone everyone who’s out there regardless of of who it is and and getting it uh to who’s open. Christian, obviously, the first play your career went the way it did and Aaron kept going back to you in that game. I think he threw seven touchdowns to you, the Dallas game. What did that do for you as a rookie and kind of the the trust and faith he showed in you as the season went on? Uh I mean it was huge. Um I mean for my confidence uh especially just um kind of getting that weight lifted off my shoulders, you know, feeling like you know you know 12 can trust me to make to make plays. I think that was huge for me to to have a game like that. Uh for sure. And I mean I mean it definitely lit a lit a spark in me for sure and uh kind of you know the rest was history that year for sure. I mean, it was it was that game was huge. Christian, how are you progressing? Will you play this week? Uh, that’s my plan. Um, I mean, I say it every week, but you know, obviously just leave it up to the trainers, but I mean, my my goal and my plan is to to play this week. Would you say this is the first time you can confidently say it’s your plan to play this week? Uh, I mean, no, I’d say I’d say I could have played last week, too, to to be honest. But um obviously just got to make sure you know I’m hearing you know everybody’s opinions on everything and just being as smart as possible about it. Is that the team’s goal and plan from what you’ve heard in your discussions with them to have you also play this week? Um I mean for the most part yeah I mean that’s just I mean I feel like that’s I mean they tell me to have that kind of play every every week uh and just kind of see how it goes. But I mean, my interpretation of everything is to to go out there and try to have the mindset that I’ll be able to play. What can you add to this offense, Christian? You um I mean, I’m adding me. I mean, just, you know, I I feel like just me being out there is uh is going to help, you know, open everybody up, you know. Um I think they’ll obviously have to um you know, respect my ability to to to beat them deep um for sure. But um I mean it’s just another uh you know another person that they have to be be wary of you know regardless you know I’ve uh you know made plays in my career and that you know obviously defenses have to respect that. How have you progressed over the last these last couple weeks? Uh really good. Um I mean I feel like the main thing honestly I have felt really good. Main thing has really just been the the football conditioning aspect of everything. Just getting back into uh to the groove of things and uh you know just knocking that rust off. What’s it gonna mean? I’m sorry. No, go ahead. Oh, what’s it gonna mean? And maybe it’s a better question for after the game on Sunday, though, but what’s it going to mean for you to get out there considering the whole long road to get to this point? Uh, I mean, I definitely feel like that’s a question for after I have, but I mean, for I mean, it means the world to me to uh to be able to look forward to the opportunity to play some football again for sure. If you do go out, do you expect that there would be a snap count? Um, I mean, just based on how we’ve done things in the past, um, with, you know, similar injuries and stuff, I I’d assume I’d assume so. But, um, yeah, just hear what they say. Brought that up to you yet. If you do go, like they haven’t told you. I mean, we’ve talked about it, but it’s something that we’ll have to see as the week goes on, see how I’m feeling, everything. You felt like you get the gear you want to hit, you know, like a game like type of gear in practice. Are you saying like speedwise or just the Yeah, just you know fluidity stuff you feel like you need to do to get over. Uh I mean yeah honestly I mean I feel like I’ve hit the I hit the gear probably like three months ago to be to be honest. But I mean yeah in terms of getting live reps and and uh getting out there I definitely feel like I’m um feeling like me. As you’ve been going through this process, how deep have you still been in the playbook with the offense? But also, how much film are you watching of the other team, you know, trying to get a feel for things? Uh, I mean, honestly, probably just the the normal amount uh to be honest. Uh, I mean, I definitely haven’t been watching as much like specific target tape um of like specific DBs or anything obviously cuz um you know, I’m not I haven’t been obviously planning to go to go against him, but in terms of just um you know, general film and and just um you know, understand the defenses, I mean, I’ve been watching the normal um Yeah. Was there another part of your question? Sorry. Okay. Thanks for checking.
