Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You you feel like this game being down, that you guys
- 0:06Speaker 1: did exactly what you wanted your teammates to do, is
- 0:10Speaker 1: not gradual back who touchdown? And then.
- 0:16Speaker 2: Yeah, No, I thought it was a great job today
- 0:18Speaker 2: of dealing with the adversity. I mean, there's it every game.
- 0:20Speaker 2: You're gonna have some momentum swings every week. So I
- 0:24Speaker 2: thought we did a nice job of you know, they
- 0:26Speaker 2: scored early and then we we ended up punting on
- 0:29Speaker 2: our first possession, and then they went and got a
- 0:30Speaker 2: field goal, and offensively, we just knew we had to
- 0:33Speaker 2: settle in and just get some points, get some positive
- 0:35Speaker 2: plays going, and we were able to do that and
- 0:37Speaker 2: we scored and then I felt like after that our
- 0:39Speaker 2: defense really settled in. So that's that's how you play
- 0:42Speaker 2: complimentary football, is you know, settle in early like we
- 0:45Speaker 2: did in second possession, and then our defense was able
- 0:48Speaker 2: to really pin their ears back and once we got
- 0:50Speaker 2: controlled of the game. I thought we did a nice
- 0:51Speaker 2: job of offensively of keeping those possessions really long. I
- 0:55Speaker 2: think we had some I mean I don't know what
- 0:57Speaker 2: the stats were, but it felt like we had some
- 0:58Speaker 2: really long possessions that you up a lot of clock
- 1:00Speaker 2: and we can do better on scoring on all those possessions.
- 1:04Speaker 2: I know that one turnover on downs down there and
- 1:06Speaker 2: you know inside the fifteen or whatever it was was
- 1:08Speaker 2: disappointing to us. But you know, I thought we did
- 1:11Speaker 2: a nice job of using the clock. We ran the
- 1:13Speaker 2: ball great today, so that always helps, Like.
- 1:17Speaker 1: Relationships off on this tanktical week, advice, I had big
- 1:21Speaker 1: game today. What would you say changed from off week
- 1:24Speaker 1: to this week?
- 1:27Speaker 2: You know just what the whole team you're saying, Yeah,
- 1:31Speaker 2: that sports kind of crazy.
- 1:33Speaker 1: I don't know.
- 1:33Speaker 2: I mean I think that there's we had a great
- 1:35Speaker 2: week of prep. There's this season, though, we've had good
- 1:38Speaker 2: weeks of practice and not played well on Sunday though, So.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I won't say that that's always.
- 1:42Speaker 2: That doesn't always mean that you're going to play really well,
- 1:45Speaker 2: but it makes it easier. It's hard to if you
- 1:47Speaker 2: don't have a good week of preparation in practice. So
- 1:49Speaker 2: I thought we had a good week of preparation. I
- 1:51Speaker 2: thought that just the energy of practice was was good.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Guys were having fun. Obviously, it sucks kind of where
- 1:57Speaker 2: we were at, and you know, I haven't won as
- 1:59Speaker 2: many games we wanted to win, but you know, we
- 2:02Speaker 2: had a lot of fun. We competed, and I think
- 2:04Speaker 2: just being around our teammates like that helps, and we
- 2:07Speaker 2: picked each other up. And you know, obviously the real
- 2:10Speaker 2: fix is being able to go play well on Sunday,
- 2:12Speaker 2: which we were able to do today and get a win.
- 2:14Speaker 1: That's that makes us feel a lot better.
- 2:16Speaker 2: So they were in basically the cover four quarters look
- 2:25Speaker 2: and safeties were low, and that was honestly the look
- 2:29Speaker 2: we were we were wanting for that play and we
- 2:31Speaker 2: had another option if if that wasn't the coverage and
- 2:34Speaker 2: the situation. But Brian did a great job of just
- 2:38Speaker 2: running at the corner, keeping outside leverage and just running
- 2:41Speaker 2: and then I put it out there let him go
- 2:42Speaker 2: make a players a great catch. You know, he's he's
- 2:45Speaker 2: he's good at that. He's he's been making a lot
- 2:46Speaker 2: of plays for us. So it's it's fun to watch him.
- 2:48Speaker 2: It's fun to play with him and just to see
- 2:50Speaker 2: him get better every week. We gotta keep using them
- 2:54Speaker 2: in the NFL. Love the games, school time in Boston.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Else to giving all of your experience player, how hung
- 2:59Speaker 1: did you know?
- 2:59Speaker 2: Getting them feels great? You know, we're this is my
- 3:02Speaker 2: fourth year being over here.
- 3:03Speaker 1: It's always you know, it's better when you win, that's
- 3:07Speaker 1: for sure. I've done both.
- 3:08Speaker 2: So uh, it's a lot more fun when we went
- 3:10Speaker 2: over here and we get to go on the flight
- 3:11Speaker 2: home and.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Enjoy it, and that flight back is not very fun
- 3:14Speaker 1: after you lose.
- 3:15Speaker 2: So I'm excited for it for that today and to
- 3:18Speaker 2: just be able to to enjoy it and and soak
- 3:20Speaker 2: it up for a few hours. But being here in London,
- 3:22Speaker 2: you guys are you guys are awesome, welcome us. The
- 3:24Speaker 2: fans are amazing. I mean, what a crowd today, And
- 3:27Speaker 2: every year it's like that. So we appreciate it and
- 3:30Speaker 2: you guys treat us well, and we we enjoyed being
- 3:32Speaker 2: over here, and obviously it's pretty unique.
- 3:34Speaker 1: When I first got.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Here, it was something that it's just it's just an
- 3:37Speaker 2: interesting deal, like never something I never really thought about doing.
- 3:40Speaker 2: And then being over here every year, it really does
- 3:42Speaker 2: feel like almost like a second home and a place
- 3:44Speaker 2: where we get to We really do feel more at
- 3:47Speaker 2: home here than a lot of other.
- 3:48Speaker 1: Teams do, I'm sure.
- 3:49Speaker 2: So we appreciate you guys, even though you said you
- 3:55Speaker 2: course taking signs also set some Frenchies on man just
- 4:04Speaker 2: so happy for him I mean, I've seen we've seen
- 4:07Speaker 2: him make those plays, whether it's preseason or even sometimes
- 4:10Speaker 2: in the season. He's been close to breaking some of those.
- 4:14Speaker 2: But for him to do it in a big moment
- 4:15Speaker 2: when we really needed it because some more points on
- 4:17Speaker 2: the board for us, really flip the game, give us
- 4:19Speaker 2: all the momentum, it's huge.
- 4:21Speaker 1: It's a huge play.
- 4:21Speaker 2: When your special teams can make plays like that that
- 4:24Speaker 2: change the game, that's I mean, it's critical. And just
- 4:26Speaker 2: for him, you know, that's a guy that he's a
- 4:30Speaker 2: great player, and you know, receiver, we have a lot
- 4:33Speaker 2: of great players, and so it's it's been it's been
- 4:36Speaker 2: tough for him. Not speaking for him, but just from
- 4:39Speaker 2: you know, he maybe hasn't gotten some of the opportunities
- 4:41Speaker 2: that he is a great player and he can make
- 4:43Speaker 2: a lot of plays for us. So to see him
- 4:44Speaker 2: get the opportunity on special teams and to take advantage
- 4:46Speaker 2: of it, that just it makes me happy because I
- 4:49Speaker 2: know how hard he's worked, and obviously we have a
- 4:51Speaker 2: lot of great receivers and you know, the camp he
- 4:54Speaker 2: had and all those things, he maybe hasn't gotten to
- 4:56Speaker 2: have the impact maybe that you expect going to the season.
- 4:59Speaker 2: But for him to be able to make that impact
- 5:01Speaker 2: on special teams.
- 5:02Speaker 1: Just happy for him.
- 5:03Speaker 2: He deserves He's a really hard worker and I'm really
- 5:05Speaker 2: excited for him.
- 5:07Speaker 1: Compensation. How cool to get today when we're playing off asiation.
- 5:17Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, we just gotta I mean it sounds
- 5:22Speaker 2: I might maybe it sounds about just stop the bleeding.
- 5:24Speaker 2: You know, for us is just get on track. We
- 5:26Speaker 2: gotta we gotta find some some momentum and we gotta
- 5:28Speaker 2: start rattling off some wins. It's just where we're at,
- 5:30Speaker 2: and I mean it's always that's always the mindset, but
- 5:33Speaker 2: especially where we're at now. You know, we don't have
- 5:35Speaker 2: any more time to waste put ourselves in a little
- 5:37Speaker 2: bit of a whole. So it is what it is.
- 5:38Speaker 2: We've been in this situation before. We know we have
- 5:41Speaker 2: to do and we know we have some tough teams
- 5:43Speaker 2: coming up on our schedule. But that I mean also
- 5:45Speaker 2: saying that it's the NFL every week, even if it's
- 5:48Speaker 2: a team that isn't looked at as a Super Bowl contender,
- 5:51Speaker 2: anybody can beat you any week. I mean, I've experienced that,
- 5:54Speaker 2: been on both sides of it. Murky year, you know,
- 5:56Speaker 2: we didn't have a great year, and you know we
- 5:58Speaker 2: beat the Bills, who were Bowl contender, beat him like
- 6:01Speaker 2: nine to six at home. We beat Indy the last
- 6:03Speaker 2: week of the year. We were two and fourteen and
- 6:05Speaker 2: they had to beat us to go to the playoffs.
- 6:07Speaker 1: We beat 'em.
- 6:07Speaker 2: So it's just this league, it's week to week and
- 6:10Speaker 2: it it doesn't matter who you're playing. You have to
- 6:12Speaker 2: play well, uh to win. So that's what we We
- 6:16Speaker 2: understand that and we have to just go do it.
- 6:19Speaker 1: Like what did you see then team visits?
- 6:20Speaker 2: Today's ringing the ball and really kind of kept that
- 6:24Speaker 2: offens going confused extended drives. Yeah, you know, I think
- 6:28Speaker 2: when you can run the ball like we did today,
- 6:30Speaker 2: it's those drives are longer cause it's like it's it's
- 6:34Speaker 2: four or six eight at a time, and it's not
- 6:36Speaker 2: necessarily all the explosives down the field. We had a couple,
- 6:38Speaker 2: but it's really just keeping our offense their defense on
- 6:41Speaker 2: the field, which is what you want. And for him
- 6:43Speaker 2: to be able to just he ran tough.
- 6:45Speaker 1: You know.
- 6:45Speaker 2: Obviously him and Dearness broke some that we were great runs,
- 6:48Speaker 2: but just some of the two, three, four five yard
- 6:52Speaker 2: runs that those make a difference you know, and just
- 6:54Speaker 2: running hard, running through some arm tackles, keeping his head down.
- 6:57Speaker 2: I thought he did a really nice job. And then
- 6:59Speaker 2: obviously when he got his opportunities to score, he did that.
- 7:01Speaker 2: So just just proud of that guy. He's the same,
- 7:04Speaker 2: you know. It just worked hard and it's cool to
- 7:06Speaker 2: see him get the benefit from it.
- 7:08Speaker 1: And he's having a great year. And uh, we we
- 7:10Speaker 1: need him to keep playing like that leadership stashion in
- 7:15Speaker 1: the last week and do you be like this sort
- 7:17Speaker 1: of mini on time when.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think this was big for our team.
- 7:25Speaker 2: We needed to win this game and we did. So
- 7:27Speaker 2: it for us to to understand the situation our backs
- 7:30Speaker 2: are kind of against the wall end or respond respond
- 7:32Speaker 2: the white the sorry, respond the right way and get
- 7:36Speaker 2: a win. I think that's great for our confidence moving forward.
- 7:39Speaker 2: But like I said, it's uh, we we got another
- 7:41Speaker 2: opponent next week, Green Bay, and we gotta go put it,
- 7:44Speaker 2: put everything we can into that one to go win it.
- 7:46Speaker 2: So it's short lived. The wins and the losses are
- 7:49Speaker 2: really short lived in this league. You have to be
- 7:51Speaker 2: able to move on.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Same thing.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Like I said to you guys last week after a loss,
- 7:54Speaker 2: you gotta be able to turn the page and go
- 7:57Speaker 2: win the next one. So that's what our minds are on. Obviously,
- 7:59Speaker 2: we are gonna enjoy this for a few hours. I
- 8:01Speaker 2: mean you have to. You know, it's too hard to
- 8:02Speaker 2: win this league. But we're gonna move on pretty quick.
- 8:04Speaker 1: And you've been in the NFL a few years now.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Your's just done his NFL gen and have to being.
- 8:12Speaker 2: Through hself most the best desce you could get to,
- 8:16Speaker 2: he continues in Enflchia.
- 8:18Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 8:18Speaker 2: I just told him after the game, you know, he's
- 8:20Speaker 2: a great player, and just to just to keep his
- 8:22Speaker 2: head down, keep working, just trying to learn something every week.
- 8:26Speaker 2: You know, don't don't be too hard on yourself. You know,
- 8:28Speaker 2: you gotta keep your confidence. You know, he's he's the
- 8:30Speaker 2: leader of that team, of that you know organization. Assume
- 8:33Speaker 2: he's on the field playing and everybody looks at the
- 8:35Speaker 2: quarterback and he's a high high pick, hi tractor guy.
- 8:39Speaker 1: You know, just keep his confidence.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I think that's one thing I didn't say all this
- 8:42Speaker 2: to him in the short conversation I had, but uh,
- 8:44Speaker 2: you know, just that's what I would say is there's
- 8:47Speaker 2: gonna be time, it's gonna be tested sometimes it's hard,
- 8:49Speaker 2: you know.
- 8:49Speaker 1: I I've been there. It's it's hard to keep your confidence.
- 8:51Speaker 2: And when there's when there's things going on around you
- 8:54Speaker 2: or you the team's in a tough spot and maybe
- 8:56Speaker 2: you're not playing your best as a player, but you
- 8:59Speaker 2: just have to keep going to work every day and
- 9:00Speaker 2: and keep your head up and lead, lead your teammates.
- 9:02Speaker 1: I mean that's the biggest thing over on dugs.
- 9:06Speaker 2: They don't lock up the feeling of the skull, I
- 9:08Speaker 2: don't help them be a minium shift anything.
- 9:11Speaker 1: What message did you get to the guys before you
- 9:13Speaker 1: gave the home the next or.
- 9:16Speaker 2: Just to go score I mean take the game back
- 9:19Speaker 2: into our hands, like you said, I mean they they
- 9:22Speaker 2: stopped us. They had a big turnover on downs and
- 9:24Speaker 2: they went and scored, and we felt like we had
- 9:26Speaker 2: to put together a good drive again and we still
- 9:28Speaker 2: were in control. I think they went for two and
- 9:30Speaker 2: didn't get it, so we were still up two possessions.
- 9:33Speaker 2: So obviously your thing to go score a touchdown. But
- 9:37Speaker 2: the biggest thing, honestly is put together a good drive,
- 9:40Speaker 2: get into field goal range and try to at least
- 9:42Speaker 2: at least get three or go score. Obviously, if you
- 9:45Speaker 2: if you can, but either way, you're just extending your
- 9:47Speaker 2: lead and you're using the clock.
- 9:48Speaker 1: That was in the fourth quarter.
- 9:49Speaker 2: So for us, and that's what we were able to
- 9:52Speaker 2: do today. We didn't have I don't know if we
- 9:54Speaker 2: had any three and outs. We were able to keep
- 9:55Speaker 2: the clock running. And you know, sometimes that can be
- 9:58Speaker 2: a bit boring, but you wanna be and control of
- 10:00Speaker 2: games like that and.
- 10:01Speaker 1: Be able to do that. So I thought it was
- 10:03Speaker 1: really really good for us, uh for the middle a
- 10:07Speaker 1: portion of this game, basically the second order. And was
- 10:11Speaker 1: that the Jaguars team that you had expected from the
- 10:15Speaker 1: get go that was at the maximum? You know, did
- 10:18Speaker 1: you reach it as close to your potential? And that's
- 10:21Speaker 1: second or third word? I don't think so. I mean,
- 10:24Speaker 1: I still think that there's some things out there for us.
- 10:26Speaker 2: I think offensively, you know, you look at the final
- 10:29Speaker 2: score and it it looks like we scored a lot
- 10:30Speaker 2: of points and we did some great things. We had
- 10:32Speaker 2: some great possessions and played clean football for the most part.
- 10:35Speaker 2: So I am happy with it, and I'm never gonna
- 10:37Speaker 2: be upset with the win, but you know, I thought
- 10:39Speaker 2: we the turnover on downs was disappointing for.
- 10:43Speaker 1: US as an offense.
- 10:44Speaker 2: You know, you wanna be able to really put the
- 10:47Speaker 2: game away and go score a touchdown there and and
- 10:49Speaker 2: get a yard on fourth and one, and we weren't
- 10:51Speaker 2: able to do that. So that's that's one play. And
- 10:54Speaker 2: then I think just some of the other possessions. There
- 10:56Speaker 2: was a couple little thing and there's a g It's
- 10:58Speaker 2: never gonna perfect. There's always be something at every game,
- 11:00Speaker 2: but just looking at it, you know, for what it is,
- 11:03Speaker 2: we got to take the good end the bad. There
- 11:04Speaker 2: were some things we did great, but there was also
- 11:06Speaker 2: a couple of plays and communication stuff. You know, I
- 11:09Speaker 2: might have missed a thrower two or whatever it is.
- 11:11Speaker 2: You still have can look at that and get better
- 11:13Speaker 2: from it. So you can't just think just because you want,
- 11:15Speaker 2: you don't look at the all the bad stuff. You know,
- 11:17Speaker 2: you got to really use that. So no, I don't
- 11:18Speaker 2: think it's as close as we can to. That's I
- 11:21Speaker 2: wouldn't say that's our best football, but it was good
- 11:24Speaker 2: enough to win today, and that's what matters.
- 11:25Speaker 1: So we got to keep finding ways to do it.
- 11:27Speaker 1: On Sunday,
