  Speaker 1: just sucks for Trevor. You see him on the ground hurting, Uh,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that sucks. It kind of takes takes a breadthway on
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the sidelines, all the guys and stuff when when you
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: see your starting quarterback hurting like that. But then you
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: know it quickly flips into going into a two minute
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: drive to try and tie the game or win the game,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: so you don't have much time to for the nerves
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: to kick in. He's kind of gotta go.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: Go back on the left. Did you have the chance
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: to speak to Trevor in the locker room just before this?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I talked to I saw him in there.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Could you tell us about what you guys were talking about.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: He seemed like he was smiling after he just said
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: good job coming in there and and you know, moving
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: the ball and stuff like that. Uh, you know he's
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: doing all right. You know we'll we'll see only him
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: and the doctors know. I guess what what what's going
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: on there?
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: After your first few plays?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Did you have a hurt your wrist at all?
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: No?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I just laid it on my shoulder. Weird, but it's nothing. Nothing.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I'm worried about.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, CJ. When you hit the field there to start
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: to lead the team there, what did they do.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: To help you? Lift you up and get you involved?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Just put a lot of confidence in me. You know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys came up to me and said,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: you know, we believe in you. We know you got this.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: And at the end of the day, this is my
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: seventh year in the NFL. It's not like I'm a
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: young guy going in there. I know I've been in
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: the situation before and started some games here and there,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: and yeah, I was ready to.
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: Go, Cej.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: You got them down the field, got the field goal
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: the first time he touched the ball after the injury.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: What did they do differently in the overtime possession that
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: kind of may have changed things a little bit for you?
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: I mean nothing different. I mean they were they were
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: playing the same coverage as that they've been playing. I
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: guess they they stopped, you know, play a little bit
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: less man. I don't think they brought any pressures in
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that drive. You know, sometimes pressure is a good thing,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: sometimes it's not, And it just depends on what play
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you have called. And I was just trying to get
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: us in the in the at least range to kick
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: a field goal to tie it and possibly win it.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: Too old. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean it it sucks.
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: You know, you you make the play, Cowvin makes a
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: great play down there, and you're excited celebrating inside the fire.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: Then he's turned around and see a flag and it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: is what it is?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: See d did you uh uh calls Brad asked early,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: did you get chicken up? A little bit of a plate?
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I s I said, I landed on my shoulder
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: a little weird, but you know, nothing, I'm too worried about.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: So nothing that affected you later in the game or
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: anything like that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: No, uh uh uh, Cause you also just go through
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: the emotions, you know, you and Trevor so close seeing
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: him put down, But then you have to focus on
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: the job that you have to do. Just how tough
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: it is to go through those emotions so quickly.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's tough. Trevor's, you know, my best
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: friend on the team, and uh when you see him
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: go down like that. Uh, you know, I've been here
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: three years and you know he he's he's battled through
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: through all types of injuries, little n dings here and there,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and to see him, you know, have to get carried
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: off the fields. Tough, you know it, it hurts, But
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: at the same time, it was a moment where you
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: don't really have time to to you know, you still
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: feel bad, but you kind of gotta quickly turn around
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: and all right, I gotta gotta go. We got a
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: two minute draft coming up.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, you know, Kirk goes down, you know, Walker
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: little goes down, a bunch of guys, you know, Cisco
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: goes down, and stuff. I mean, seemed like a mass
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: shounit out there tonight. Yeah, an element of maybe disbelief
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: or surprise or shock that so many guys are going
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: down in a game.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: You know, like, yeah, it was tough. I mess, it
• 3:28

• 3:34
  Speaker 1: little nicks and bruises here there, but guys having to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: come out of the game. And that's tough. You know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I don't know the extent to a lot of guys injuries,
• 3:42
