Latest / Press Pass / Press Pass | Jourdan Lewis and Josh Cameron on Being Ready to Respond Every Week
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, Jordan.
- 0:01Speaker 2: Travis, first interception yesterday. What do you remember about your
- 0:05Speaker 2: first interception against Trevor Simeon and the Broncos in 2017?
- 0:07Speaker 3: I remember it was a butt whooping.
- 0:13Speaker 2: 42-17, but your pick was the highlight.
- 0:15Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I remember that.
- 0:18Speaker 3: It was just kind of an overthrow and, you know,
- 0:21Speaker 3: just getting my hands on the ball, and that just
- 0:25Speaker 3: got me warmed up for that season. So, you know,
- 0:27Speaker 3: that is... When you're a playmaker like Travis is, those
- 0:32Speaker 3: come in bunches. So I'm looking forward to having more
- 0:35Speaker 3: of those come in his future.
- 0:38Speaker 2: And then lastly for me, the red zone work you
- 0:41Speaker 2: guys have done the last two weeks, what do you
- 0:44Speaker 2: like about the scheme you're running down there that keeps
- 0:47Speaker 2: offenses on their heels?
- 0:49Speaker 1: I don't think it's more so the scheme.
- 0:51Speaker 3: I think it's more the want to and the guys that,
- 0:54Speaker 3: you know, we want to stop the the offense for
- 0:57Speaker 3: our offense and for the team and.
- 0:59Speaker 1: For each other. So it's just really a wheel.
- 1:01Speaker 3: And Coach Camp always talks about we're going to run
- 1:04Speaker 3: some of the same stuff that.
- 1:05Speaker 1: Guys been running in the 80s.
- 1:07Speaker 3: And we're just going to do it with, you know,
- 1:09Speaker 3: the utmost intensity and wheel. And I think that's what's
- 1:13Speaker 3: really helping us on those red zone stops. Just wanted
- 1:17Speaker 3: to get those stops for each other and just get
- 1:20Speaker 3: another blade of grass so we can defend it.
- 1:22Speaker 1: Thank you, Jordan. My bad. That's on me. That's on me.
- 1:35Speaker 1: What's up, Jordan?
- 1:36Speaker 4: I remember in training camp, you were talking about how
- 1:39Speaker 4: like intensely the coaches were coaching you guys and how
- 1:44Speaker 4: Coach Ruse was really getting after it to be three
- 1:48Speaker 4: games in and have an interception in every single game.
- 1:51Speaker 4: Just what does that say about the work that you
- 1:52Speaker 4: guys did this offseason?
- 1:55Speaker 1: That it works.
- 1:57Speaker 3: The work and the progress and the process that we have.
- 2:03Speaker 1: It works.
- 2:03Speaker 3: It's going to keep working as we hone in on
- 2:07Speaker 3: those techniques and keep working because Coach Rouge is never
- 2:11Speaker 3: good enough. That's good because we want to be the
- 2:14Speaker 3: best in the league. As long as we have him,
- 2:18Speaker 3: I think we're going to be in really good hands.
- 2:21Speaker 3: You can see that technique This week, it was it
- 2:25Speaker 3: was much better and improved.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I think that's going to just keep getting better as
- 2:30Speaker 1: the year goes on.
- 2:32Speaker 4: I know all of you guys on the back end
- 2:34Speaker 4: are close for you to have yours last week. And
- 2:37Speaker 4: now Travis and Jarrion has theirs. Just kind of what
- 2:40Speaker 4: does it mean, like between the group of you guys
- 2:44Speaker 4: to be able to, you know, all kind of reap
- 2:46Speaker 4: the rewards, really?
- 2:48Speaker 3: It feels like all of the, you know, being together,
- 2:52Speaker 3: you know, in and outside of the facility, you know,
- 2:56Speaker 3: all of the work that we put in, that it's
- 2:59Speaker 3: worth something, that it matters, and that we're getting the
- 3:01Speaker 3: results that, you know, we worked so hard for and
- 3:04Speaker 3: that they worked so hard for in OTAs. And that's just,
- 3:08Speaker 3: like I said, about Travis's first interception. It's the momentum
- 3:12Speaker 3: that you get. And you know in this league, when
- 3:14Speaker 3: you get turnovers, they come in bunches. And that energy,
- 3:17Speaker 3: you know, it flows through the whole team. So I'm
- 3:20Speaker 3: excited for the rest of the season and the stretch
- 3:25Speaker 3: that we have now.
- 3:32Speaker 1: Sorry.
- 3:33Speaker 4: On the play where I think Travis was further down
- 3:37Speaker 4: the field and then you had underneath and they kind
- 3:39Speaker 4: of found the whole what was supposed to happen there
- 3:43Speaker 4: and what was kind of on that play.
- 3:47Speaker 3: It was, you know, a cover two where I sink
- 3:50Speaker 3: and then, you know, I saw the spot route. And then,
- 3:54Speaker 3: you know, it was just a play that we've seen
- 3:57Speaker 3: before that we've seen in practice.
- 4:00Speaker 1: And it's just got to execute it better on both ends.
- 4:06Speaker 3: It's just making sure that, you know, we get to
- 4:09Speaker 3: our landmarks and making.
- 4:11Speaker 1: Sure that we make that play. Because that should have
- 4:14Speaker 1: been interceptions. Appreciate it, man. Thank you.
- 4:18Speaker 2: We'll go D-Rock and then John.
- 4:28Speaker 5: Hey, Jordan, is there like a standard operating procedure for
- 4:32Speaker 5: someone to get the ball for somebody else when they
- 4:35Speaker 5: make a play like that? You know, when you get
- 4:37Speaker 5: an interception or a turnover, like, is there something you
- 4:39Speaker 5: guys generally always do? Like, is one guy always assigned
- 4:42Speaker 5: to get the ball so that the person.
- 4:44Speaker 1: Can keep it?
- 4:44Speaker 6: No, not one guy.
- 4:46Speaker 3: I think it's equipment staff. I think George is always
- 4:49Speaker 3: on top of it. It just has some type of
- 4:50Speaker 3: significance like that did. That was Travis's first interception.
- 4:54Speaker 1: So I know people were all over it.
- 4:56Speaker 3: So I know Josh took it in his own hands
- 4:58Speaker 3: to get the ball back. Travis could have helped us
- 5:02Speaker 3: out by not spinning the ball and forgetting about it. But, yeah,
- 5:07Speaker 3: that's something that you always want to change. especially as
- 5:10Speaker 3: special as that. And, yeah, I think that's an everybody thing,
- 5:17Speaker 3: not just when somebody's just, like, specific job. Everybody, you know,
- 5:22Speaker 3: trying to get that ball back to them.
- 5:25Speaker 5: So I'm going to assume then you have your ball
- 5:27Speaker 5: from your first interception or no?
- 5:31Speaker 1: It was Trevor Simeon, and we lost.
- 5:33Speaker 3: So I don't know if I– I don't know if
- 5:39Speaker 3: I remember where that one is.
- 5:44Speaker 5: What you're saying is it would have been better if
- 5:46Speaker 5: it was a game against Brady, maybe, huh?
- 5:48Speaker 1: I still got that one from Brady. I got that
- 5:52Speaker 1: one from Brady.
- 5:53Speaker 5: Hey, real quick, end zone interceptions, you know, how big
- 5:59Speaker 5: of a momentum boost is that?
- 6:00Speaker 1: I mean, for not only defense, but the offense coming out, too.
- 6:05Speaker 3: Um, it's huge because you save points. You take all
- 6:08Speaker 3: of the points off of the board. That's, that's, that's
- 6:11Speaker 3: either a 10 point swing or a three point swing, um,
- 6:16Speaker 3: in either direction, um, or a six point swing in
- 6:18Speaker 3: either direction. So, um, when you look at it like that, um,
- 6:22Speaker 3: that can change the momentum of any game.
- 6:24Speaker 1: Um, that's the margins in this league. So when you take.
- 6:26Speaker 3: Away, uh, red zone opportunities from, um, A good offense,
- 6:30Speaker 3: an offense that's been proven to go and, you know,
- 6:34Speaker 3: be methodical and put drives together, it takes the wins
- 6:37Speaker 3: out of the sales and it helps.
- 6:39Speaker 1: Everybody on the team. Thanks, bro. Appreciate it. No problem.
- 6:44Speaker 3: That was a joke too, Mike, that first one.
- 6:49Speaker 6: Hey, Jordan.
- 6:55Speaker 7: Thanks for doing this.
- 6:57Speaker 6: Liam talked about how.
- 6:58Speaker 7: Life in the NFL, you just, you know, have to.
- 7:00Speaker 8: Be ready to respond every week, no matter what their circumstances.
- 7:04Speaker 8: Can you just talk a little bit about how they've
- 7:05Speaker 8: kind of instilled that throughout practice, throughout the week, to
- 7:08Speaker 8: let you guys come out, start fast like you did Sunday?
- 7:12Speaker 3: Like we talked about before, it's about the process. And
- 7:14Speaker 3: every time we go out on the field, our process
- 7:16Speaker 3: needs to be the same. It needs to be, you know, relentless.
- 7:19Speaker 3: It needs to be intense. And it has to be,
- 7:21Speaker 3: you know, game-like so the game is easy. Anytime that
- 7:26Speaker 3: you have a loss like we did, you want to
- 7:28Speaker 3: have a response and be mentally tough enough to go
- 7:33Speaker 3: out there and handle business like we did. But now
- 7:35Speaker 3: the next challenge is stringing along a season. That's where
- 7:39Speaker 3: we're playing the best ball and mistake-free ball and clean
- 7:42Speaker 3: football that we can.
- 7:44Speaker 7: Thanks, Jordan.
- 7:45Speaker 1: No problem.
- 7:49Speaker 2: Last one here will be Gary.
- 7:55Speaker 9: Hey, Jordan, now we did talk a couple weeks ago
- 7:58Speaker 9: where your first touchdown, you have that ball, don't you?
- 8:06Speaker 3: That was against Daniel Jones. Yeah, I got that one too.
- 8:14Speaker 3: That was the interception return.
- 8:16Speaker 1: No, that was the.
- 8:17Speaker 6: Or a fumble recovery return, yeah.
- 8:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 8:20Speaker 6: But you got that ball with no problem, right?
- 8:22Speaker 1: Oh, yeah. Yeah, no, I... It was.
- 8:24Speaker 3: A fan actually tried to snatch it out of my
- 8:26Speaker 3: hands while I was trying to celebrate.
- 8:27Speaker 1: I had my hands up like this.
- 8:29Speaker 3: A fan was trying to snatch the ball, and I
- 8:32Speaker 3: kind of, like, kind of shook it off of him.
- 8:34Speaker 1: So, yeah.
- 8:35Speaker 3: Yeah, they tried to get my ball. It's not as
- 8:37Speaker 3: crazy as Travis's, but, yeah, they... I had to fight
- 8:40Speaker 3: for mine.
- 8:41Speaker 1: Okay. And the....
- 8:45Speaker 6: The way the defense played, at times they move the
- 8:50Speaker 6: ball on you guys for most of the first half.
- 8:53Speaker 6: And I know Drake gift-wrapped a couple of turnovers to you.
- 8:57Speaker 6: But is part of being a good defense, knowing that
- 9:01Speaker 6: the other guys are pretty good too, and they're going
- 9:05Speaker 6: to hit some plays, but then.
- 9:06Speaker 1: You're going to respond.
- 9:07Speaker 6: You're going to retaliate.
- 9:09Speaker 9: So, you know, is it a matter of respecting what
- 9:13Speaker 9: the other guy can do but then coming up with
- 9:16Speaker 9: an answer for it?
- 9:19Speaker 3: I think it's all, you always respect your opponents, but
- 9:22Speaker 3: Coach Kemp always puts it, he puts it well. It's like,
- 9:25Speaker 3: it doesn't matter what they do. If they do something good,
- 9:28Speaker 3: they do something bad. You know, our standard is our standard.
- 9:31Speaker 3: The way we play is how we play. We always
- 9:33Speaker 3: attack any situation that we put in. So he just says,
- 9:38Speaker 3: give us a blade of grass, man. And he'll show
- 9:41Speaker 3: you who his team is and, And you've seen that,
- 9:44Speaker 3: you know, from, you know, these last few weeks where
- 9:47Speaker 3: we taking the ball away in the red zone.
- 9:49Speaker 1: So it's really not about what they do. It's about
- 9:52Speaker 1: how we respond and how we attack, you know, each situation.
- 9:56Speaker 7: What's up, Josh?
- 9:58Speaker 4: I remember after your first touchdown, you were saying how
- 10:01Speaker 4: you kind of got stuck and you ended up just
- 10:03Speaker 4: going with the flex. How much thought went into your
- 10:05Speaker 4: celebration for this last one, this one yesterday?
- 10:09Speaker 10: Yeah, a good amount of thought definitely went into it.
- 10:12Speaker 10: I've really kind of been planning it since last week
- 10:14Speaker 10: to tell you the truth. And then I actually ended
- 10:17Speaker 10: up posting like a little TikTok like of like the
- 10:20Speaker 10: little sound with the, with the dance and ended up
- 10:23Speaker 10: going viral. So there was a lot of, a lot
- 10:25Speaker 10: of thought going into it. And I think, I think
- 10:28Speaker 10: that showed for sure. I was, I was able to
- 10:30Speaker 10: pull it off for sure.
- 10:33Speaker 4: How have you been able to balance kind of, you
- 10:35Speaker 4: have a lot of responsibilities, like if we're just going
- 10:38Speaker 4: to keep it honest, like being kickoff return punt protector.
- 10:42Speaker 4: And then now with your offensive responsibilities, just how have
- 10:45Speaker 4: you been able to balance it so early in your career?
- 10:48Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.
- 10:49Speaker 7: A lot of prep goes into it throughout the week.
- 10:51Speaker 10: A big thing for me is just getting into a routine,
- 10:54Speaker 10: getting into a habit, and trying to take some of
- 10:57Speaker 10: those stressors off of myself.
- 10:58Speaker 7: Once you get into.
- 11:00Speaker 10: That flow of doing the same thing over and over again,
- 11:02Speaker 10: not a lot of new stuff can throw you off
- 11:05Speaker 10: your balance. That's just been my main thing, staying focused.
- 11:09Speaker 10: Whenever I'm worrying about special teams, all my focus is there.
- 11:14Speaker 10: When I'm worrying about offense, my focus is there. I
- 11:16Speaker 10: don't try to do everything all at once. I try
- 11:19Speaker 10: to segment things, just make it as easy as possible
- 11:22Speaker 10: for me.
- 11:22Speaker 7: And so that's been going good. I'm just going to
- 11:25Speaker 7: continue to do that for sure.
- 11:27Speaker 1: Thank you, man. Thank you.
- 11:35Speaker 6: Hey, Cameron, how you doing?
- 11:37Speaker 1: Doing good.
- 11:37Speaker 5: How are you?
- 11:38Speaker 6: Not bad.
- 11:40Speaker 9: Coach said earlier today that you're you're, you're a quiet
- 11:44Speaker 9: guy in the building.
- 11:45Speaker 1: He said something to the effect of, you.
- 11:47Speaker 9: Know, you hardly know, they hardly know you're around until
- 11:50Speaker 9: you get on the grass. I'm just wondering from your
- 11:53Speaker 9: youth football days to high school and college, have you
- 11:55Speaker 9: always been that kind of guy where there's a little
- 11:58Speaker 9: bit of a different personality on the field and off?
- 12:02Speaker 10: Yeah, no, that that's, that's always been me, uh, to
- 12:05Speaker 10: tell you the truth. I just, I call it, I
- 12:07Speaker 10: guess you're stereotypical flipping a switch, uh, whenever it's time
- 12:11Speaker 10: to go. Uh, something before games, I tell them, or
- 12:15Speaker 10: I tell myself that I need to, they need to
- 12:17Speaker 10: feel you, Jay. So basically, I remind myself, like, hey,
- 12:20Speaker 10: they need to feel you whenever you're out there, whenever
- 12:22Speaker 10: you get an opportunity to go capitalize on the opportunity.
- 12:26Speaker 7: So that's just something I kind of remind myself.
- 12:28Speaker 10: And then the quiet part, I wouldn't say I'm, like,
- 12:30Speaker 10: super quiet, but more so, I guess right now, I'm
- 12:33Speaker 10: just kind of focused. And then whenever it comes time
- 12:37Speaker 10: to play, I just kind of go out there. And
- 12:39Speaker 10: like I was saying before, they got to feel me
- 12:40Speaker 10: for sure.
- 12:41Speaker 5: Good.
- 12:42Speaker 6: Does that mean you've got a perspective that you can
- 12:48Speaker 6: turn it off and on? You're not, you know, the
- 12:51Speaker 6: aggressive guy that you're needing to be on the football
- 12:54Speaker 6: field 24 hours a day?
- 12:56Speaker 7: Oh, yeah, no, for sure.
- 12:57Speaker 10: I definitely don't walk around like that just kind of
- 13:00Speaker 10: all the time for sure. I definitely just walk around
- 13:05Speaker 10: just a nice guy. I like to be nice and chill.
- 13:08Speaker 10: And then, like I said, whenever it gets time to
- 13:09Speaker 10: play football, though, it's like, But that's what it's like.
- 13:12Speaker 10: They got to feel you for real, for real. So
- 13:14Speaker 10: that's just that's just how it is.
- 13:16Speaker 6: OK, thank you.
- 13:17Speaker 7: Thank you. We'll go DRock and then Ryan.
- 13:29Speaker 5: Hey, Josh, how proud are you that the fact that
- 13:33Speaker 5: you've sort of been able to stay on this upward
- 13:35Speaker 5: trajectory pretty much since camp started, there's been no dips
- 13:39Speaker 5: and valleys and stuff like that?
- 13:42Speaker 7: Sorry, can you repeat the first part?
- 13:43Speaker 5: Yeah, how proud are you of the fact that your
- 13:46Speaker 5: trajectory has sort of always been rising and you didn't
- 13:49Speaker 5: have to deal with any peaks and valleys?
- 13:51Speaker 1: It's been steady progress.
- 13:52Speaker 7: Yeah, no, for sure.
- 13:53Speaker 10: I'm definitely really proud and kind of really excited about
- 13:58Speaker 10: how far I've really come. Really kind of coming in,
- 14:01Speaker 10: I kind of did have like just some really self-doubts,
- 14:05Speaker 10: obviously coming off my little injury from like my calf stuff.
- 14:08Speaker 10: So I just wasn't really kind of like feeling myself
- 14:11Speaker 10: to tell you the truth, but really just the staff here.
- 14:15Speaker 10: You got Ferg, you got Coach Cohen, you got all
- 14:19Speaker 10: the people that truly just bought in and believed in
- 14:21Speaker 10: me from the get-go. So just having that pressure off
- 14:24Speaker 10: your back, knowing that, hey, we believe in you, just
- 14:27Speaker 10: go out there and be you type deal. So like
- 14:30Speaker 10: I said, having them have my back and just allowing
- 14:33Speaker 10: me to go out there and just be me at
- 14:34Speaker 10: the end of the day, I feel like that's what
- 14:36Speaker 10: it's all about. That's what I'm going to have continue
- 14:38Speaker 10: to go out there and do and just continue to
- 14:40Speaker 10: be me.
- 14:42Speaker 5: Seems like they trust you a ton to put you
- 14:44Speaker 5: in a bunch of different roles uh is that something
- 14:47Speaker 5: that you were striving to do as a rookie or
- 14:51Speaker 5: was it just something that sort of developed um.
- 14:54Speaker 10: No that was definitely an expectation they they put like
- 14:57Speaker 10: really on me from the very beginning um ever since
- 15:00Speaker 10: i first kind of got drafted um eb my coach
- 15:04Speaker 10: uh edgar bennett wide receiver coach he was just like
- 15:06Speaker 10: hey man like You're going to have to know the Z, X,
- 15:09Speaker 10: and F, like.
- 15:09Speaker 1: Know it all.
- 15:11Speaker 10: And then special teams coach, he was just like, hey,
- 15:15Speaker 10: you're going to be playing all four units.
- 15:16Speaker 7: So just be ready to go.
- 15:17Speaker 10: Get your mind right and let's go do it. And
- 15:21Speaker 10: so that's something I marketed myself on, though, kind of
- 15:24Speaker 10: before the process, just being a multifaceted guy, eager for
- 15:29Speaker 10: opportunity and go out there and show what I can
- 15:32Speaker 10: do for sure.
- 15:34Speaker 5: Awesome.
- 15:34Speaker 7: Thank you.
- 15:34Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
- 15:35Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 15:42Speaker 1: Hey, Josh.
- 15:43Speaker 2: Your mom is up to 1,500 followers on Twitter.
- 15:47Speaker 1: Oh, man.
- 15:49Speaker 2: How much do you enjoy her social media posts and
- 15:51Speaker 2: just the constant support?
- 15:53Speaker 7: No, I love it. It means everything to me to
- 15:56Speaker 7: have her in my corner.
- 15:57Speaker 10: Really just kind of like saying the same thing after
- 16:00Speaker 10: the game. She was staying at my house, and so
- 16:02Speaker 10: we were just kind of chilling, just kind of chopping
- 16:06Speaker 10: it up, talking about the game, talking about how excited
- 16:09Speaker 10: it is to See me out there to kind of
- 16:11Speaker 10: do my thing.
- 16:12Speaker 7: So to have her out there just kind of support me.
- 16:14Speaker 7: It means everything to me because she's a part of
- 16:17Speaker 7: my why.
- 16:18Speaker 10: She's a big part of my why and the reason
- 16:20Speaker 10: why I'm out there to just kind of go and
- 16:23Speaker 10: do what I do type deal for sure.
