Press Pass | Trevor Lawrence & Jourdan Lewis Recap Week 6 Loss to Seahawks · Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we just obviously didn't play our best
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: ball today. A lot of mistakes, a lot of things
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: that self inflicted wounds like we've taught about in the past,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: and yeah, so it's just I mean, we got to
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: clean it up.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: We've got to be more detailed. You know, we just
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: can't have so many penalties.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: We had a lot of drives where we started off negative,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and it's just hard to play in second and third
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: and long all game, you know. So I think that's
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: that's the obvious, right. You know, we're doing some things,
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: some difficult things well, and then we're doing the simple thing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: We're messing up the simple things and having a lot
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: of penalties, and it's just, you know, hard to sustain
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: drives when you keep going backwards. So you know, there's
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: some stuff we got to clean up. We got to
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: look in the mirror and fix the problems that have
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: really been been there all year.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I feel like last week we did we did better
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: with some of the penalties, but you know, it showed
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: up again this week, so we got to clean it
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: up and move forward.
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Liam said that there was a clear focus on throwing
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: the ball going into the game, but in terms of
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: the discrepancy between the run and the past, how would
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: you evaluate balancing the two today.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I think that was definitely part of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: our plan, was to you going in that we throw
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: it more, especially early on in the game. This is
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a this defense has done a good job of stopping
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: the run, and we felt like we had some opportunities
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: on the outside of the perimeter to make some plays,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and so that was part of the plan. Obviously, you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: want to run it as well as you can as
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the game settles in or as you settle into the
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: game and you know, finding more opportunities there. And you know,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I felt like a lot of opportunities that I had
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: where I could have taken some completions on first down
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: and helped keep us out of some second and long
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: So I got to be better. I didn't think I
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: started the game great, you know, missed a couple of
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: throws and had some opportunities where I feel like I
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: could have got backside and didn't. So yeah, I mean
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of things out there that we didn't
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: take advantage of. I mean, obviously we did some things
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the passing game well, but more consistency, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: we first second, Now we weren't great.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Trevor Leeum stood there and said, it's on him today.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: What was his message to you guys in.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: The locker room. That's on all of us.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I mean, as far as his message was great with
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: the team, I mean just accountability, all of us looking
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: ourselves in the mirror. And you know, he said the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: same thing he said to you guys, he said to us,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and it's on all of us. It's not it's never
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: on it's never on him. It's never on just one person.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: It's never on you know, it's it's all of us
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: taking accountability and fixing the things that we can control.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: You know, I know that there's a.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Lot of things that we did on offense today that
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't have to do with coaching. It's
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: just you know, players, you know, doing their job at
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the right time, including.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Myself, Like just do your job.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Progress, you know, make the play that's there, the penalty stuff, focus,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: attention to detail throughout the game. I mean, there's things
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: that we know better and we didn't execute well today.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: So it's on all of us.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: And I think that's the that's the first step, is
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: everybody taking accountability, and hey, what can I fix? Don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: start pointing fingers and looking at anybody else. We all
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: got plenty that we can fix.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: Hey, Trevor, it seemed like today that the offense couldn't
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: get into a groove. What do you feel like went
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: wrong there? And how challenging is it? Maybe when there's pressure,
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: there's different things that are happening around you.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it can be challenging, but it's the NFL and
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: you play good teams and you got to find a
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: way to you know, move the ball more consistently, to
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: start faster. You know, I think to start the game,
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: they matched our first play really well as a good
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: coverage for that play that we ran, and they did
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: a good job and didn't have much there. Then the
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: second play, you know, I didn't progress on a quick game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: They covered up the front side, I didn't get backside
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: and then ended up getting the holding because I scrambled
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: super early and put Ezra.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: In a tough spot.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: So that's an example of just something I can improve on.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: And from there it felt like the first two drives
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I think there were three and out and just puts
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: our defense in a tough spot and you know, putting
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: them back on the field over and over again and
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: not getting points, not moving the ball, flipping the field,
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: and that's a big deal. So there's things where we
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: got to clean up and start games faster.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: Trevor, six weeks and I guess at this point, you
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: guys passed the point of the newness of the offense
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: trying to like work with it, figure out how it runs,
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: everything like that, and you know, in game situations and
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: all that stuff getting different looks. Are you guys beyond
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: that at this point?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, I mean this is this is this is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: our system. We know what it is.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: A lot of the stuff that you have, game plan
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: stuff that's new every week a little bit, but you know,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: we're all comfortable and what we're doing and on the
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: same page. I think some of the procedural stuff, as
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: far as getting it out huddle, getting up there was
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: a lot better today, But then we had some penalties
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: and some other things that you know haven't necessarily showed
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: up yet but showed up today. That we same thing.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: It's going backwards though that we got to correct. But
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: as far as the offense, I think, you know, guys
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: know what to do and we know what we're doing.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: We just have to have a little bit more focus
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: at times and not make the self inflicted mistakes.
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: Trevor seven sacks is one thing, but all those pressures,
• 4:39
  Speaker 6: all the knockdowns and everything, when is this all that
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: does it become psychological at that point for you when
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: you when you're going back on a on a pass
• 4:46
  Speaker 6: attempt like here they call up again that kind of thing.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, that's part of playing quarterback in the NFL.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I mean it's uh, you know, it's tight pocket back there.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Those guys are those guys on the other side of
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: the ball get paid to pay a lot of money
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: to rush the passer and that's their job. So there's
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: times where that's just part of it and you got
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: to play through it. And you know, I thought we
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: managed some of that well today at times, made some
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: plays down the field, but yeah, we kind of clean
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: it up. I thought there was some times where I
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: could have been better in the pocket with some of
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: my movement and not moving into some pressures. You know,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: that group on defense does a good job of moving around,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to pick our guys up front, and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: you know, it can make it a messy at times.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So I got to be able to navigate in there
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and make throws down the field and find guys and
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: get the ball in my hands when necessary, and you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: not take quite as many secs.
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: Leam said, it wasn't just the penalties, it's when they're happening,
• 5:37
  Speaker 7: they're wiping out positive plays.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Does that kind of feel like that's what's kind of
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: been halting momentum sometimes?
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that hurts.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: Today we had I think three or four big plays
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: with a penalty and it gets called back, and yeah,
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: it's just the feeling of that momentum, Like now we're
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: going backwards ten yards instead of having the fifty yard
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: play or the touchdown you know, to be t or
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. Now we're going backwards and it wipes
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: out a you know, a big play. So but we
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: got to when that happens, we still got to respond
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: and find a way to go score. But yeah, you
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: don't want to wipe out those positive plays for sure.
• 6:10
  Speaker 8: Remember how much do you think they took away some
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: of the things you wanted to do, especially down the
• 6:14
  Speaker 8: field with the thirty three pressures and seven sacks. Could
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: you just not get to some of it?
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say sometimes, Yeah, obviously there's you have shots,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and like I said, the defense is you know, they're
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: trying to rush the pass or they're playing coverage, and
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: sometimes you just don't get the look that you that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you need to throw the ball on the field. And
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: then sometimes we had time and opportunity and they played
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: the coverage where it just didn't present itself.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: We had to check it down. So I think there's
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: a good mix of that.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: But you know, we kind of they did what we
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: thought they would do coming into the for the game.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: We just didn't execute good enough.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: In terms of the penalties. And maybe this is more
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: of a question for coach than that is for you.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: But how do you stop like the like you said,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: the bone headed penalties at the line of scrimmage? Is
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: it a matter of players getting to get there? Is
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: it a matter of discipline? Like how would you evaluate
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: how you can counter it?
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it's just everyone taking ownership of their
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: part of it. Look at today and say all right,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: what I what can I do to improve this? How
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: can I help you know, the guy next to me
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: or yourself or whatever. I think it's more just focusing
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: on what you can do as an individual. And I
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: think that's where some of the things might be more
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: of just like a lapse and focus at a certain
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: time that are little penalties like the off sides or
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. It's just you know, that consistent focus
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: throughout the game to where these things don't show up.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Besides that, you know that's we all know what they
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: are and you got to fix them. It's on us
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: as players to just not do those things. I mean
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: at the end of the day. So you can only
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: coach it so much. You know, you got to make
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: the improvements and you know, keep that focus throughout the game.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: All right, thanks guys.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Hey Jordan, just from your vantage point, how would you
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: evaluate how the defense did today?
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: We didn't win, So yeah, that's that's the number one.
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: When you don't win and we don't, any other evaluation
• 8:03
  Speaker 7: really doesn't matter. But you know, our process was well,
• 8:06
  Speaker 7: it went good, this, this, this weak. But at the
• 8:09
  Speaker 7: end of the day, we didn't execute to our our
• 8:10
  Speaker 7: best ability. It was still some players out there that
• 8:12
  Speaker 7: you know, me personally, I wish I would have had back,
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: especially that touchdown, look back earlier anything like that. So
• 8:18
  Speaker 7: give it give my chances, uh to help the team win.
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: So yeah, those little plays. We need to get a
• 8:23
  Speaker 7: nip in the bud. But shoot, it wasn't good enough
• 8:26
  Speaker 7: to win.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Did it seem like that it came down to maybe
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: just a couple of those explosives of sixty one yarder
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: and then the one near the end.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: No, I just feel like we didn't.
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: We weren't, you know, on our rp's and q's uh
• 8:36
  Speaker 7: to s to start the game. So we was kind
• 8:38
  Speaker 7: of behind the eight ball from the beginning. So when
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: we weren't on our our communication and you know, excing
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: to where our best ability, that's that's when big plays happened,
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: and you know, little leaky yards happened.
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Jordan, how would you evaluate the play of the corners
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: rotating at the two other spots besides.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Sh they fought back.
• 8:55
  Speaker 7: I mean, it's it's really hard when you have you know,
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: that tech type position is it's all about confidence. So
• 9:01
  Speaker 7: when you go out out there and you rate rotating positions,
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: it's hard to get to find your footing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And I feel like they did we did good. I
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: feel like we fall.
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: Back and we were living in big payd plays in
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: the second half, and you know, it just wasn't It
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: wasn't good. Enough, how do you where do you guys
• 9:18
  Speaker 7: go from here?
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: And is it a good time to maybe get away
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: and have that road trip where you guys can maybe
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: figure some things out.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: It's still preparation, Tom.
• 9:27
  Speaker 7: We we have a game to play versus very good
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: upon it and you know that that only makes it
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: even more challenging. So that means we have to be
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: on our on our p's and q's when we go
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: out there in London. So that means just you know,
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: re locking in and understanding that our process has to
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: be refined and you know, we gotta we gotta get
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: this win.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: Jordan, how much do you think this is just a
• 9:47
  Speaker 8: football team still trying to figure it out as well?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 9:50
  Speaker 8: And and how much not that you like to lose,
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: but can these kind of walk people in sense of
• 9:55
  Speaker 8: urgency all those kind of things like you did. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 8: guess coming off Cincinnati.
• 9:59
  Speaker 7: We we the sensul urgency before the game. That that
• 10:02
  Speaker 7: that's that comes into preparation. We have to have a
• 10:04
  Speaker 7: sensul erurgency every time we step on the on the field.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: So I feel like that's.
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: That can't be an excuse that we're a young team
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: and we're still you know, uh, just coming together. We
• 10:14
  Speaker 7: play really good ball. We understand what we're capable of.
• 10:16
  Speaker 7: We just gotta go out there and execute and understand that.
• 10:19
  Speaker 7: You know, we can't go out and play just you know,
• 10:22
  Speaker 7: one half of football. We gotta go up there and
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: put a cohesive game, you know, for sixty minutes together.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Think Jordan, I guess everyone had wondered what would it
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: look like when the defense wasn't able to get turnovers?
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: So what how would you break down today?
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: Well, that's what that's our I like. But I mean
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: we need turnovers. We need turnovers to win games. And
• 10:42
  Speaker 7: I honestly feel like we could have got a few
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: turnovers and you know, got gave the football back to
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: the offense and you know, advantageous you know, positions, But
• 10:50
  Speaker 7: that didn't happen. But like I said, guys fought, We
• 10:53
  Speaker 7: fought back. It just wasn't good enough.
