Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we executed our plan really well.
- 0:02Speaker 2: Thought we had a good plan going in, you know,
- 0:05Speaker 2: try to use some things against something we felt like
- 0:09Speaker 2: they didn't maybe cover well in the past. And I
- 0:11Speaker 2: did a good job. And guys made plays. I mean, honestly,
- 0:13Speaker 2: they a couple of them they actually covered pretty well,
- 0:15Speaker 2: and like the one to Britain, he just went and
- 0:17Speaker 2: made a play great catching the ball. And then same
- 0:18Speaker 2: thing with Parker, I mean, making a phenomenal catch, just
- 0:22Speaker 2: giving those guys a chance. So it's really our guys
- 0:24Speaker 2: just making the plays. I thought they obviously they covered
- 0:26Speaker 2: it pretty well, but I think that was kind of
- 0:29Speaker 2: story of the whole game, is making plays when we
- 0:30Speaker 2: needed to. Obviously started a little slow, but we were
- 0:33Speaker 2: able to settle in. So it was I thought, a
- 0:35Speaker 2: great job by the offensive bouncing back after.
- 0:37Speaker 1: A slow start. You get respect and do you care, No,
- 0:41Speaker 1: I hope not.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Honestly, I hope we don't get any So everybody out
- 0:45Speaker 2: there just keep it up.
- 0:46Speaker 1: It's great.
- 0:46Speaker 2: So yeah, it's a big game and just proud of
- 0:49Speaker 2: the guys is fun.
- 0:51Speaker 3: You guys couldn't do what you did offensively amongst a
- 0:54Speaker 3: lot of chaos. Looked like there were some obviously the
- 0:57Speaker 3: Crogett and then their defense you got to deal with.
- 0:59Speaker 1: It was an easy thirty.
- 1:01Speaker 2: Foot the pools that they feel like, Yeah, I mean
- 1:03Speaker 2: it's it's never Uh. I wouldn't say easy when you're
- 1:06Speaker 2: playing a really good team. I mean it's a really
- 1:08Speaker 2: good team, really good defense especially, and so we knew
- 1:11Speaker 2: we were gonna have our hands full coming in.
- 1:12Speaker 1: We had to play well, and and we did. Down
- 1:13Speaker 1: the stretch.
- 1:14Speaker 2: We made some plays. It wasn't always pretty. You know,
- 1:16Speaker 2: we can still clean up some operation things. Getting in
- 1:18Speaker 2: all the hudle quicker seemed like that was like some
- 1:20Speaker 2: of the fastest uh play clocks I I can remember
- 1:23Speaker 2: being a part of, honestly.
- 1:24Speaker 1: So we have to do a better job of just.
- 1:25Speaker 2: Getting up there quicker so we can you know, diagnose
- 1:28Speaker 2: the look and get the right calls and and and
- 1:30Speaker 2: go play ball and protect ourselves, cause that that's a
- 1:32Speaker 2: team that does some really challenging things on defense, great
- 1:35Speaker 2: pass rush, some pressure looks that are that you gotta
- 1:38Speaker 2: kind of sort through. And we managed it well, but
- 1:41Speaker 2: definitely could improve on that.
- 1:42Speaker 4: Uh.
- 1:42Speaker 2: But like I said, made plays when we needed to.
- 1:44Speaker 2: We're good on third down, good in the red zone.
- 1:46Speaker 2: You know, that's usually key and didn't turn the ball over,
- 1:48Speaker 2: so usually you win when you do that.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Feel like you came on the same okay obviously, but you
- 1:53Speaker 3: get drilled at the back as well.
- 1:54Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm fine, I'll be fine.
- 1:56Speaker 4: Partner's uh where we have to catch I and uh,
- 1:59Speaker 4: it's a watch. You get that short pass and it.
- 2:01Speaker 1: Turned into a lie.
- 2:02Speaker 2: It's awesome, I mean, just the way it opens up
- 2:05Speaker 2: the offense for us, cause I mean it's just hard
- 2:07Speaker 2: against a really good defense like we talked about, and
- 2:09Speaker 2: and a really good pass rush, and the coverage is
- 2:11Speaker 2: sticky and and they do a good job. So when
- 2:13Speaker 2: guys can take short passes where one we can get
- 2:15Speaker 2: the ball out and they can take it for twenty thirty,
- 2:18Speaker 2: forty fifty whatever.
- 2:19Speaker 1: His biggest one was he had a long one today.
- 2:21Speaker 2: It just blows it open for us as an offense
- 2:23Speaker 2: and lets us, you know, really do whatever we want.
- 2:26Speaker 2: So that was huge. Some guys made some big plays,
- 2:28Speaker 2: stepped up. Obviously, Parker had a great day. Uh, not surprised,
- 2:31Speaker 2: and he's made some huge plays. Should have had I
- 2:33Speaker 2: missed him on two today, should have had probably over
- 2:35Speaker 2: two hundred so you know, that'll just be something that
- 2:38Speaker 2: will we'll get next time, so that it's something that
- 2:40Speaker 2: we didn't that we didn't get today that we can't
- 2:42Speaker 2: get done the way would you make him it didn't
- 2:45Speaker 2: get thrown.
- 2:46Speaker 1: In played well.
- 2:47Speaker 2: I mean, obviously a little bit of shuffling going on
- 2:49Speaker 2: today up front, and and the same it's been the
- 2:51Speaker 2: same story all season. Our own line has done an
- 2:53Speaker 2: awesome job in general of just protecting and running the football,
- 2:57Speaker 2: and then when guys had to step up and play
- 2:59Speaker 2: at different paces, guys.
- 3:00Speaker 1: Have done an awesome job.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Now Walker went in a guard, played tackle all season
- 3:03Speaker 2: and he played well. You know, I thought the guys
- 3:05Speaker 2: did a really good job up front. I know there
- 3:07Speaker 2: was whatever five sacks, and three of them were like
- 3:11Speaker 2: one yard sacks. You know, I like just kind of
- 3:13Speaker 2: hanging out of the ball, trying to scramble, and they
- 3:15Speaker 2: got me at the line of scrimmag So I thought
- 3:16Speaker 2: those guysd an awesome job up front.
- 3:18Speaker 1: It was a big key to the game.
- 3:19Speaker 2: It was obviously the protection and being able to challenge
- 3:22Speaker 2: these guys downfield, because that's what they do so well
- 3:24Speaker 2: is rush the passer.
- 3:25Speaker 1: And our guys stepped up even that this team.
- 3:29Speaker 3: Could handle the stage. You guys haven't been on a
- 3:32Speaker 3: lot as a team obviously, then to come out here
- 3:35Speaker 3: and one of the biggest gays in the week in
- 3:36Speaker 3: the NFL to deliver that goals.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just the team's coming together. I
- 3:41Speaker 2: feel like we have a lot of confidence, but we
- 3:42Speaker 2: don't take our preparation for granted. You can't just show
- 3:46Speaker 2: up and win games in this league. You gotta prepare
- 3:48Speaker 2: the right way, and you gotta have that edge and
- 3:49Speaker 2: that mindset come Sunday. And I think that's something our
- 3:51Speaker 2: team does a really good job of, is playing with
- 3:53Speaker 2: that chip on your shoulder and that edge and attacking
- 3:56Speaker 2: people and getting after him. And I think that's something
- 3:58Speaker 2: that's been huge for us. Can't be understated. So we
- 4:01Speaker 2: have to continue to do that. You know, it's not
- 4:03Speaker 2: You're not just going to show up on Sunday and
- 4:04Speaker 2: win games no matter who you're playing, and especially against
- 4:06Speaker 2: a good team in Denver. So proud of the guys,
- 4:09Speaker 2: and we came ready to.
- 4:09Speaker 5: Go as much as lead them. Got you guys to
- 4:12Speaker 5: buy into what you're just talking about. If that you
- 4:14Speaker 5: can't just shot up and when you got to.
- 4:15Speaker 1: Prepare the right way.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been a big part of it, our whole staff.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You know, obviously it starts with him, but I think
- 4:20Speaker 2: the whole staff does an awesome job of not taking
- 4:23Speaker 2: anything for granted during the week. I mean, it's every
- 4:25Speaker 2: week is a clean slate, fresh start, and we go
- 4:28Speaker 2: back to square one of game planning. Obviously, you can
- 4:30Speaker 2: build on things you've done throughout the season with the
- 4:33Speaker 2: with some carryover, but as far as just getting back
- 4:37Speaker 2: into the weeds and figuring out all the you know,
- 4:39Speaker 2: advantages that we can get as an offense, like, it
- 4:41Speaker 2: all starts over every single week.
- 4:43Speaker 1: So I've been impressed with the staff and how we've
- 4:44Speaker 1: prepared every week.
- 4:46Speaker 5: You've got really good tretches throughout your career so far,
- 4:48Speaker 5: but at this point this season, does it feel like
- 4:50Speaker 5: you're starting to turn to stack those up and turn
- 4:53Speaker 5: last league into next week all that kind of stuff.
- 4:55Speaker 5: You know, you're it's a clean slate, but you're you're
- 4:57Speaker 5: taking over the confidence you have from the previous week
- 4:59Speaker 5: and carrying.
- 4:59Speaker 1: That over to the next week.
- 5:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel I feel great with you know, our
- 5:03Speaker 2: offense right now, what we're able to do in the
- 5:04Speaker 2: passing game, and guys are making plays. You know, I'm
- 5:07Speaker 2: giving them opportunities down the field, and we're protecting up front.
- 5:09Speaker 2: We're doing We're doing a lot of things well, and
- 5:11Speaker 2: we just gotta continue not take it for granted, continue
- 5:13Speaker 2: to do to take care of the details and do
- 5:15Speaker 2: the little things so that we can come out there
- 5:17Speaker 2: and p and play well on Sundays. And that's a
- 5:19Speaker 2: big part of it. Yeah, I feel great with without
- 5:21Speaker 2: I'm playing. But uh, like I said, you don't just
- 5:22Speaker 2: walk out on Sunday and do it.
- 5:23Speaker 1: You gotta prepare every week. So we gotta do it
- 5:25Speaker 1: again this week.
- 5:26Speaker 5: So you pay attention to forty nine.
- 5:28Speaker 1: Gave them my name. Yeah, I'll pay attention. I didn't.
- 5:30Speaker 1: I won't.
- 5:31Speaker 2: I won't lose any sleep over it. But I'm watching
- 5:33Speaker 2: all of our I'm watching all of our division, you know,
- 5:36Speaker 2: teams in our division. It's just like I also like football,
- 5:39Speaker 2: so I watched the watch a lot of the games
- 5:40Speaker 2: when I can.
- 5:41Speaker 4: So it was I always like pride myself on, you know,
- 5:47Speaker 4: first of all, just making a catch, of course, but
- 5:50Speaker 4: the yack after the catching matters and that that can
- 5:53Speaker 4: change games. And it was exciting to make those plays today.
- 5:57Speaker 4: And I just want to keep that rolling and stay
- 6:00Speaker 4: confident and keep having fun with it. I did the
- 6:02Speaker 4: offense manage to kind of settle in after those first
- 6:05Speaker 4: couple series where it was real loud and maybe you
- 6:07Speaker 4: guys weren't get much time. What kind of went into
- 6:10Speaker 4: getting you guys on the track? You know, just you know,
- 6:13Speaker 4: staying focused and just staying together like we like you
- 6:16Speaker 4: been doing. We knew we were gonna be in a
- 6:18Speaker 4: crazy atmosphere today, and we answer to adversity and many
- 6:24Speaker 4: times throughout this season, and we continue to do that,
- 6:26Speaker 4: and I feel like that's our edge and we're just
- 6:29Speaker 4: gonna keep pushing and keep coming together and keep growing
- 6:32Speaker 4: as offense.
- 6:34Speaker 5: This is the most UH yards and the receivers had against.
- 6:37Speaker 1: The Broncos defense this year.
- 6:39Speaker 5: Just kind of what going in, did you expect this
- 6:41Speaker 5: to get a good game, to be a game making
- 6:43Speaker 5: their punts?
- 6:44Speaker 1: You know?
- 6:44Speaker 4: Personally, you know that's where that that confidence comes in,
- 6:47Speaker 4: is just knowing them the player I can be. And
- 6:51Speaker 4: you know, this was a big time game for us,
- 6:52Speaker 4: and it just happened to be the week where I'm like,
- 6:55Speaker 4: I feel really good. I felt good Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,
- 6:58Speaker 4: and it came as we got to Sunday, I was like,
- 7:01Speaker 4: let's go. I was on the phone calls like my trainer, Uh,
- 7:04Speaker 4: I was with my mom this morning. I'm like, it's
- 7:06Speaker 4: gonna be a big game, man. I was so excited
- 7:08Speaker 4: to make those plays.
- 7:09Speaker 5: A big first half of making tackles and open and
- 7:12Speaker 5: open field. But the tu break did y did you
- 7:15Speaker 5: make any kind of adjustment or did you just kind
- 7:16Speaker 5: of make the play when he died? Through most in
- 7:18Speaker 5: the second.
- 7:18Speaker 4: Half these last couple of weeks, definitely like just how
- 7:23Speaker 4: with m with my uh situation, just with opportunities, I'm
- 7:27Speaker 4: really studied on just how I can create more yak
- 7:30Speaker 4: with the ops that I do get. And it paid
- 7:34Speaker 4: off and they was excited to get out there and
- 7:37Speaker 4: execute what I've been trying to make happen for a
- 7:40Speaker 4: few weeks. And it was really cool and most importantly,
- 7:43Speaker 4: we got this win today and that's what it's all about.
- 7:45Speaker 3: Sure, it's clearly confident right now, what's the team's confidence level.
- 7:48Speaker 4: In him through the roof? You know, great leader, been
- 7:53Speaker 4: doing a great job for these last couple of seasons
- 7:56Speaker 4: that I've been here, and no matter what, through any adverse,
- 8:00Speaker 4: I mean, he's remained him and he knows he's he's
- 8:04Speaker 4: special and he's just stepping into that m those moments
- 8:07Speaker 4: that when we need him and he's doing a great
- 8:09Speaker 4: job and we're just gonna keep growing and keep building
- 8:12Speaker 4: at the offense, especially with a new staff, and they
- 8:16Speaker 4: believe in us, we believe in them, and that's what
- 8:18Speaker 4: it's all about.
- 8:19Speaker 5: The best you've been you've seen a place that you've
- 8:20Speaker 5: started playing with Trevor, the best you've seen Trevor play
- 8:24Speaker 5: these last four or five weeks since you started playing
- 8:26Speaker 5: with them.
- 8:26Speaker 4: I mean, I guess the numbers don't lie. I mean,
- 8:29Speaker 4: he's doing a great job, but we always knew that
- 8:32Speaker 4: he could do this. And he's playing confident. I mean,
- 8:36Speaker 4: when somebody's confidence, there's nothing you can do about that guy.
- 8:40Speaker 4: You can know, nothing you can do about that man
- 8:41Speaker 4: that's confident rate to role, trusting his teammates and just
- 8:46Speaker 4: we've been making plays for him and that just keeps
- 8:49Speaker 4: that going and we just want to keep rolling with that.
- 8:52Speaker 1: And said that, you.
- 8:53Speaker 5: Guys don't really care about the narrative is, but this
- 8:55Speaker 5: feels like a game that could change how you guys
- 8:57Speaker 5: have perceived around the league. Does that mean anything? After
- 9:00Speaker 5: a game like this, coming into a place like this
- 9:01Speaker 5: where they haven't lost, you know, in twelve straight games
- 9:03Speaker 5: at home.
- 9:04Speaker 4: Uh, I feel like we just look within. I mean,
- 9:07Speaker 4: for us, we just we just gotta keep answering and
- 9:11Speaker 4: keep stepping up to the plate when the opportunity presents itself.
- 9:14Speaker 4: We wanna change the culture, and that's what we're doing.
- 9:17Speaker 4: And we're gonna keep rolling with that, keep having fun,
- 9:20Speaker 4: and just keep growing as a team.
