  Speaker 1: As we get back go right, But yeah, it's really important.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I mean especially division opponent, you know, here at home,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: so it's all the motivation you need. Obviously a big
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: week for us and looking forward to it.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Going into this game.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is always there's always a motion going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: into I mean every game really, but especially versus the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: Texans division opponent, a team that you know kind of
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: been up and down against in the past, if we're
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: just being honest, haven't had a ton of success against.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: So it's it's always a game that I you know,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I'm wanting to get after him, and a game we
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: want to win, and especially as it's a division opponent
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: and it's a big one for us.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Trevor, as you look back out Sidy game, what did
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: you guys zone it on in terms of the pre
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: snap stuff and.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: The shifts just detailed? You know, I think communication, you know,
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: whether it's making sure I'm really clear in the huddle
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: of you know, all the different tags and formations and adjustments,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and then also guys just staying in the huddle for
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the entirety of the and making sure we're hearing all
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: the little additions, especially on the road. That was our
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: first you know, road test and you get some noise
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: and a little easier to let some little things slip
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: as far as details go in the huddle. So I
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: think it's just a good reminder for us that we
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: got to be sharper and then just overall operation moving
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: a little quicker so we have more time with the
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: line of scrimmage or we're not rushing.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Isn't it been easier for you watching getting ready for
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Houston and that they've played the Rams and the box
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that Land has a lot of familiarity scheme, there's a
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: lot of things that carry over. Is that helpful as
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: a quarterback?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: Definitely? I mean, you know what you're looking at, and
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: I mean I guess a lot of people do similar
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: things offensively, it's all. I mean, there's different systems, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: it definitely helps when you're watching a team that's the
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: same system and you know, you can you see what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: they're doing, you know exactly what it is and what
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: they're trying to accomplish, and you know, I think it's
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: good for our game planning and just to see it.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So having those two opponents is nice for us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Great conversations with Brian, What have your conversations and analysis
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: and as to why that connection wasn't there on Sunday.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's, uh, it's football. Golly, sorry guys.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's not a good spot for stuff up there. No, No,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it's it's football. I mean, it just it doesn't always
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: go perfect. You know. Obviously we would love to start
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: off hot these first two games and our connection be
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: you know, ripping and me finding them everywhere and him
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: having a great year and all those things. But I
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: mean we're in a week two, everybody, so I think
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: we can all just take a deep breath, give beat
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: a little space. You know, he's he's gonna be just fine.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: Not worried about him at all. Just something we gotta
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: continue to work at. And and you know, we're gonna
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: have a good plan for him each week to be involved.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: And he's too good of a player to not you know,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: be involved and make those plays down the field that
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: we all know he can make. And I got all
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the confidence in the world in him and excited for
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: just another opportunity for him this week to get going.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Say anything as ease myself, well.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: I say anything to him, not outside of a normal
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: what I would do. You know, whoever was out there
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: for the toss you since.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: The hit is that just when it's somebody would that
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: violent or maybe even dirty of a hit and not
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: reach out to say, hey, sorry about that whatever.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm past that, way past that at this
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: point in my life. So it's not something i'm really
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I've I've thought about since then. Everybody's different. You know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's football. It's a violent game, and obviously it's unfortunate
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: when things like that happen, and I don't want to
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: get into all that again, but you know, this is world.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: We're past that, so I'm not gonna look in the
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: rear view mirror.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: You watch it, you watch it.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've seen it since it happened. Yeah, Yeah, for sure,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I've seen it so many times now, seen it a
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: lot now, so just after it happened last year, and
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: then obviously kind of going back game planning. Now, progress
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: was Freddy Camp to now he had great Camp obviously
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: makes some plays the other day.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Words he they the most progress as far as the
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: technique and his position and the operation.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I play with him now going
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: on three years just seeing you've always seen the ability
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and the skill set, the explosiveness, the talent with the
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: ball in and out of breaks, all those things. You've
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: kind of seen that there. But I think the way
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: he the speed at which he's playing at now because
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: there's confidence there and he knows what he's doing. There's conviction,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: you know, when he's running arout, he's you know, has
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: a lot of confidence on what he's doing because he
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: knows exactly where to be, when to be there, knows
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: the scheme, knows the coverage. I think just seeing how
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: much he's grown mentally in the system and just understanding coverages,
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: leverage technique, I think he's taken huge strides from the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: past few years. And I have so much confidence in
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: him and when he's out there and I know what
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get, and he's a guy that I have
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: a lot of faith in.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: At the top ranked running attack, did you think you
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: can jump that high?
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: He can jump? You can jump? Yeah, he's uh, he
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: went up and got it. I've seen him do it
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a few times, and he had one against He's had
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a few like that in practice, one against Cincinnati a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago. But yeah, two.
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Weeks and you have the top ranked running attack.
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: In the NFL.
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Can you put a little perspective on what that means
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: to you and and how valuable it is from your perspective,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: especially in a new offense. Yeah, it's I mean it's
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: really valuable. If you can run the football, it opens
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: up a lot of things for your for your offense,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: for your team. I think just overall controlling the game.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Being able to run the football is a huge part
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: of it. I feel like our possessions have been a
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: lot longer, have been a lot more productive, you know
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: we've been. It's just helped us all around. I think
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: just being able to run the ball consistently. And it's
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: only two weeks. We've got to continue to build on
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: that and do it over a season, but it helps
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a lot. I think faster than maybe you anticipated to
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: go from being not very effective to being show effective.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It's such a quick period of time. You know, I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: thought we we did some really good things in camp,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and I know we have a good defense, so seeing
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: some of the things against our defense and feeling like,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: you know, our run game is really progressing and it's
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: it's looking pretty good. So I'm not surprised, necessarily. You
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: always are. You always want to see how it unfolds. Though,
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: when the bullet start flying and you get in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: real games and you know you want to see it
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: kind of I guess confirmed in those settings and it
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: has been so we just got to continue to play
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: with that mindset. But really not.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Sorry, you guys from a really good screen seam almost overnight.
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: H what are the keys to that? And you like
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: a comparative to keep some two pretty good defensive ends
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: to day.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean those are tools for those are just
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: tools for our offense to change the look for for
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: the defense. I mean, it really is getting the ball
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: in space. It's big play potential plays that are easy
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: to kind of manufactur. Sure, you know, obviously you don't
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: always hit them all like huge plays, but when you do,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: they're great and then you're always gonna get a positive
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And I think we've done a good job mixing those
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in and that just can slow down some of the
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: past rush things. It makes the d lineman think a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: little bit more, helps the guys up front and the
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: run game, pass game, you know, all those different than
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: they were screens a little bit. I think there's some
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: nuances to every offensive screens. I mean, some of them
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: are very similar, but I'd just say, you know, definitely
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: in the variety and in certain things, you know, and
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: obviously game plan is different, things change every week.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: Why, guys, have you talked to Christian?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've been texting with him a little bit, obviously
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: when he heard his hamstring a couple of weeks ago, just
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: checked in and see what was going on there and
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: talk to him a little bit. And throughout the off
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: season just checked in to see, you know, how it
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: was going over there and kind of vice versa and
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: just talking. So obviously we're close friends. We keep in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: touch and talk to him. This week, I'm gonna I'm
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: shunning them for this week, so I'll see him. It'll
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: be good to see him out there. Obviously, you guys
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: know I feel about Christian, but so you know, other
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: weeks wish him better luck, but not this week, all right,
