- 0:00Speaker 1: What. Oh, it's the most interesting press conference venue.
- 0:05Speaker 2: We have here, right, Hi, Trevor, So, you made history
- 0:16Speaker 2: becoming the first rookie quarterback in twenty twenty one to
- 0:18Speaker 2: win an NFL game here in London. Yourself and the
- 0:21Speaker 2: Jags clearly have a special relationship with the UK. What
- 0:26Speaker 2: do you think is next for the franchise here in London?
- 0:30Speaker 1: Yeah, hopefully the first team to win two games in
- 0:32Speaker 1: a row here. I mean that's I think we're the
- 0:34Speaker 1: first team to play back to back games here, if
- 0:36Speaker 1: that's rights that right, first game ever or first team
- 0:39Speaker 1: ever to do that, So that would be that would
- 0:41Speaker 1: be great. That'll be a success for us. But no,
- 0:44Speaker 1: I think just obviously when we were here last year,
- 0:48Speaker 1: we didn't didn't play great. Personally myself, I didn't play great,
- 0:51Speaker 1: so kind of kind of go back and you know,
- 0:53Speaker 1: back to the drawing board and right that wrong. So
- 0:57Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting that opportunity to play again here.
- 1:00Speaker 1: I know the team is. We're excited being here for
- 1:02Speaker 1: ten days, which is a little different kind of we'll
- 1:04Speaker 1: get to settle in which will be great. So I
- 1:06Speaker 1: think we're excited. We know, we you know, we know
- 1:08Speaker 1: we're here for at the end of the day. But yeah,
- 1:10Speaker 1: obviously we have a big fan base over here and
- 1:13Speaker 1: play over here every year, so we're getting pretty familiar.
- 1:15Speaker 1: This is my third time now traveling over here for games,
- 1:18Speaker 1: so it's always fun. I know the guys look forward
- 1:20Speaker 1: to it, and especially after today, we get our kind
- 1:22Speaker 1: of some sleep, get our rest, get our energy, and
- 1:25Speaker 1: our win back in our sales after the long travel day.
- 1:27Speaker 1: But we'll be feeling good tomorrow. Hey, Trevora, how did
- 1:31Speaker 1: you How did you see the team sort of bounce
- 1:34Speaker 1: back this week in practice from what happened on Sunday
- 1:36Speaker 1: last week. Yeah, I thought we had a great week
- 1:38Speaker 1: of prep, a lot of energy, you know, just continuing
- 1:42Speaker 1: to stick to our process and just focusing on execution,
- 1:45Speaker 1: the details, really studying our plan, especially on a week
- 1:49Speaker 1: like this where you're traveling in the middle of the week.
- 1:52Speaker 1: You know, on Thursday, we're leaving traveling overnight to come
- 1:54Speaker 1: over here. I think it's just more important than ever
- 1:57Speaker 1: that you know your plan, you know all the details,
- 1:59Speaker 1: you're prepared so you can go play free on Sunday
- 2:02Speaker 1: and you're not thinking because you do kind of miss
- 2:04Speaker 1: a little bit of prep on that travel time. So
- 2:07Speaker 1: I think guys understand that, you know, we're prepared. We
- 2:10Speaker 1: still got, you know, forty eight hours or so to
- 2:13Speaker 1: continue to prepare for the game. But it's been a
- 2:15Speaker 1: great week. We've been flying around. Even today, I thought
- 2:17Speaker 1: the energy was great after a long, long plane ride
- 2:20Speaker 1: and guys being a little tired. I thought we brought
- 2:22Speaker 1: a lot of juice and it was good.
- 2:24Speaker 3: Now that you have done it a little bit, do
- 2:26Speaker 3: you feel like by the time it kicks off, your
- 2:30Speaker 3: body's acclimated and it's just a normal game where you
- 2:33Speaker 3: have to convince yourself it is or what's that like?
- 2:36Speaker 1: I think you feel, you know, I'm trying to think. Now,
- 2:38Speaker 1: it's obviously been a year since we've been over here.
- 2:42Speaker 1: You feel pretty good by Sunday. I think even tomorrow
- 2:44Speaker 1: you feel a lot better. Today is a tough day.
- 2:47Speaker 1: You get through today and you just keep your mind
- 2:50Speaker 1: locked into everything because obviously we're still you know, installing
- 2:53Speaker 1: some stuff, we're still preparing and meeting so and now
- 2:57Speaker 1: we're done, but this morning we were so I think
- 2:59Speaker 1: you can just really have to put some extra attention
- 3:02Speaker 1: on focusing in on that, because that's when you're tired
- 3:04Speaker 1: from the plane ride. You know, you probably didn't sleep
- 3:06Speaker 1: as much as you normally do, and that's your night
- 3:08Speaker 1: of sleep for Thursday night is on the plane. So
- 3:10Speaker 1: that's the that's the challenging part. But now where we're at,
- 3:13Speaker 1: you get a chance to get your body back, get
- 3:15Speaker 1: a lot of sleep tonight to get ready and usually
- 3:17Speaker 1: tomorrow you're feeling pretty good, and then Sunday feel pretty normal,
- 3:21Speaker 1: and then it'll be interesting. Now we have then we're
- 3:23Speaker 1: going to have a whole other week, so we should
- 3:25Speaker 1: feel great going into that week. But yeah, you feel
- 3:27Speaker 1: pretty good by Sunday.
- 3:29Speaker 3: You just mentioned this interview room, and even those interviews
- 3:32Speaker 3: out there are a little bit different set. I mean,
- 3:34Speaker 3: it's literally a change of scenery.
- 3:36Speaker 1: Right it is it is, and it's this place is great.
- 3:39Speaker 1: Staying at the grove, it's really it's really cool. Honestly,
- 3:42Speaker 1: I love staying over the weather. It's a nice change
- 3:44Speaker 1: of weather. You know how hot it is in Jacksonville
- 3:46Speaker 1: right now, so you get a little bit cooler weather,
- 3:48Speaker 1: kind of disconnect a little bit and get out here
- 3:51Speaker 1: and you're kind of in the middle of nowhere, which
- 3:53Speaker 1: I like. It's it's it's beautiful though, it's it's it's
- 3:55Speaker 1: a lot of fun.
- 3:58Speaker 4: Hey, Trevor, you took a different approach to your offse
- 4:01Speaker 4: than you just mentioned earlier, going back to basics, new diet,
- 4:04Speaker 4: gaining sixty to seven pounds of muscle, refining your footwork,
- 4:07Speaker 4: and tweaking mechanisms. Then you add in the fact that
- 4:10Speaker 4: you have a new wide receiver and Havevin Midley, who,
- 4:12Speaker 4: in my opinion, is a great, great wide receiver to
- 4:14Speaker 4: have them squad. Where do you quantify where you're at
- 4:17Speaker 4: right now as a quarterback of the jacksonvill jackcuars.
- 4:20Speaker 1: A good question. You know, I think that I've made
- 4:24Speaker 1: a lot of improvements over the you know, the past
- 4:28Speaker 1: two offseasons really since I've been in the NFL. Things
- 4:31Speaker 1: that I've wanted to improve on. I feel like I have.
- 4:33Speaker 1: There's still a ton of room for me to grow.
- 4:35Speaker 1: I think I've become a more consistent decision maker. I
- 4:38Speaker 1: think I've become more accurate, especially down the field this offseason.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You know, I think obviously each season, even if it's
- 4:45Speaker 1: guys that you've played with in the past, you're still
- 4:47Speaker 1: kind of working on that chemistry and some early things
- 4:49Speaker 1: early in the season, so we're still getting there. In
- 4:52Speaker 1: some of those areas. But I think it's coming along great.
- 4:55Speaker 1: The relationship with the guys is awesome, with christians A, Calvin,
- 4:58Speaker 1: Evan and all the other guys. Calvin is coming along great.
- 5:02Speaker 1: He's gonna be a huge weapon for us. So I think,
- 5:05Speaker 1: you know, obviously, you look at where we're at. We're
- 5:07Speaker 1: one and two. Obviously we'd like to be we'd like
- 5:10Speaker 1: to have more wins than that, and and don't love
- 5:11Speaker 1: how we played last couple of weeks. But I know
- 5:13Speaker 1: we're headed in the right direction and looking forward to
- 5:15Speaker 1: getting back on track this week. And yeah, I think
- 5:18Speaker 1: we are headed in the right direction. I'm excited about that.
- 5:21Speaker 2: Hi, Trava, this is Jenny from the Zonne Welcoming.
- 5:24Speaker 5: Well, welcome to London.
- 5:25Speaker 2: First of all, how important is the international growth.
- 5:28Speaker 5: Of the NFL to you?
- 5:29Speaker 1: So I'm sorry the international What the international growth? Yeah,
- 5:33Speaker 1: it's I mean, just to see the fans over here,
- 5:35Speaker 1: it's awesome. I think it's unique because you're it's not
- 5:39Speaker 1: like a home or an away game. Technically it's a
- 5:41Speaker 1: home game for us, but there's a I would say
- 5:43Speaker 1: there's probably more Jags fans just because we've consistently played
- 5:46Speaker 1: over here for the past few years. But it's cool
- 5:49Speaker 1: seeing like every NFL team's jerseys in the stadium, you know,
- 5:53Speaker 1: on on the game day. It's it's really cool.
- 5:55Speaker 2: So what's the biggest difference between the American fans and
- 5:57Speaker 2: the European fans? And yeah, what do you want to
- 6:00Speaker 2: say to them?
- 6:03Speaker 1: The biggest difference? I think it's interesting at some points
- 6:07Speaker 1: in the game, the European fans like cheer at like
- 6:11Speaker 1: strange times compared to American fans, Like usually it's only
- 6:14Speaker 1: in a it's a home game, it's only on big
- 6:17Speaker 1: plays for us or vice versa, you know, whatever it is.
- 6:19Speaker 1: And then it's like sometimes I feel like European fans
- 6:22Speaker 1: might like cheer for like a flag or something, and
- 6:24Speaker 1: it's like, so some of that stuff's just like funny.
- 6:27Speaker 1: It's kind of interesting. But I just would say I
- 6:30Speaker 1: appreciate the support. I mean, it's it means a lot
- 6:34Speaker 1: to us, and obviously it provides this opportunity for us
- 6:37Speaker 1: to come and play over here. If there was no
- 6:38Speaker 1: interest in you guys watching us over here, we wouldn't
- 6:41Speaker 1: be here. So I appreciate all the support from y'all,
- 6:44Speaker 1: from all the European fans, you know, not even just
- 6:46Speaker 1: here in London but everywhere. So it we're thankful for
- 6:49Speaker 1: that and it's exciting it lets us get these opportunities.
