- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, I'm feeling okay.
- 0:02Speaker 2: I'm gonna get it, get it checked out, you know,
- 0:04Speaker 2: tonight and see kind of what's going on.
- 0:05Speaker 1: I feel pretty good.
- 0:06Speaker 2: I'm walking around all right, So I can't really say
- 0:09Speaker 2: much now. I don't really want to make sure everything's
- 0:11Speaker 2: checked out before.
- 0:12Speaker 3: Have you Have you really had any issues with it
- 0:14Speaker 3: before in your in your football life?
- 0:15Speaker 1: No, I haven't. I haven't, So that's also it makes
- 0:17Speaker 1: it tough.
- 0:18Speaker 2: And it's a little bit bruised too, So just trying
- 0:20Speaker 2: to kind of sort through kind of what it is
- 0:21Speaker 2: right now.
- 0:27Speaker 4: Can you just kind of run us through what happened
- 0:29Speaker 4: on that play and and I know, like you were
- 0:32Speaker 4: on the ground you kind of like picked up your
- 0:33Speaker 4: leg a little bit and what your fear was or
- 0:36Speaker 4: anything like that.
- 0:37Speaker 2: Yeah, I just felt something, you know, just some discomfort
- 0:40Speaker 2: in my knee when I went down.
- 0:41Speaker 1: I don't know if it was twisted or landed on
- 0:43Speaker 1: or what.
- 0:45Speaker 2: So I kind of felt it right away and then
- 0:47Speaker 2: kind of put a little pressure on I realized I
- 0:48Speaker 2: can get up, so I was just trying to get
- 0:49Speaker 2: up and get off and get off the field.
- 0:51Speaker 1: So yeah, that's that's all it was there.
- 0:58Speaker 5: Trevor Can you talk just a little bit about the
- 1:00Speaker 5: offense today and what went right for you guys.
- 1:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought we had a really good first half.
- 1:06Speaker 2: We took advantage of a lot of short fields and
- 1:08Speaker 2: the defense have given us, which was which was great.
- 1:10Speaker 2: Our defense is playing great right now, and I thought
- 1:13Speaker 2: we put some some really good drives together, especially the
- 1:15Speaker 2: first drive coming out. I think that was I don't
- 1:18Speaker 2: know how long, you know, they had a long drive
- 1:19Speaker 2: and ended up getting a field goal, and then we
- 1:21Speaker 2: came out, had a long drive and ended up scoring touchdown.
- 1:23Speaker 2: I thought that really kind of set the tone that
- 1:26Speaker 2: we can play that type of game if that's what
- 1:27Speaker 2: we need to do.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So that was that was big for us.
- 1:30Speaker 2: On the second half, you know, we I just didn't
- 1:33Speaker 2: think that we necessarily put them away when we had opportunities.
- 1:37Speaker 2: And then think we played great. But the first half,
- 1:39Speaker 2: you know, defense given a short field, second advantage of
- 1:41Speaker 2: them getting points.
- 1:42Speaker 1: Thought we were really efficient.
- 1:43Speaker 2: I thought we played really well in the first half,
- 1:45Speaker 2: so you know, second half need to play a little
- 1:47Speaker 2: bit better, but the goals to win, and we won
- 1:50Speaker 2: pretty convincingly and it was a good win for this team.
- 1:52Speaker 2: The huge game for us and excited about.
- 1:54Speaker 3: That, Trevor. When you look at the three game winning streak,
- 1:58Speaker 3: is this kind of who you guys thought you could
- 2:00Speaker 3: be and would be going into the season.
- 2:03Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that this is where we
- 2:05Speaker 2: want to be. You know, we're getting better every week.
- 2:07Speaker 2: I think that's the that's the most exciting thing is
- 2:09Speaker 2: we're getting better every week. We're getting closer. I feel
- 2:11Speaker 2: like the momentum and the energy is really rolling for us,
- 2:14Speaker 2: and we got to keep that going every week. You know, now,
- 2:16Speaker 2: especially it's a short week on the road, so it's
- 2:20Speaker 2: the same same mindset. We got to make sure we
- 2:22Speaker 2: dial in on all the details, get our bodies back
- 2:24Speaker 2: for this for this game coming up on Thursday. I mean,
- 2:26Speaker 2: now it's three four days away, so we got to
- 2:28Speaker 2: get ready for that one.
- 2:30Speaker 6: Trevor, congrats on the victory. First off, you know, as
- 2:33Speaker 6: you mentioned, the first half, everything just seemed to go right.
- 2:35Speaker 6: But get to that fourth quarter. How disappointed are you
- 2:40Speaker 6: to go into New Orleans on that You got points?
- 2:43Speaker 6: But again you mentioned the defense and the field that
- 2:47Speaker 6: gave you for that and also the fact that did
- 2:51Speaker 6: it looked like the Colts were just playing like a
- 2:52Speaker 6: desperate team. Just trying to make a play at that point.
- 2:57Speaker 1: You know, I'm not not too disappointed. I am disappointed
- 2:59Speaker 1: in that.
- 3:00Speaker 2: I feel like we kind of had some drives where
- 3:02Speaker 2: we were had a little lull in our in our offense.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So I think that's obviously you never want that to happen.
- 3:07Speaker 2: But it's also tough in that in that position, you know,
- 3:11Speaker 2: we can do a better job situationally, like we need
- 3:13Speaker 2: first downs, we still.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Need to move the ball, we need to get points.
- 3:15Speaker 2: But when you got that big of a lead, you're
- 3:17Speaker 2: you're trying to possess the ball, trying to keep it
- 3:20Speaker 2: out of their hands, just trying. It's so you're playing.
- 3:22Speaker 2: It's like a balancing act of you know, do you stay,
- 3:25Speaker 2: how aggressive do you stay? All those things? And I
- 3:26Speaker 2: think that's something where we need to be better executing.
- 3:29Speaker 2: We were really bad on first down in the in
- 3:31Speaker 2: the fourth quarter, So put us in second and long,
- 3:33Speaker 2: and then they can kind of do whatever they want.
- 3:35Speaker 2: They can they can drop out, play zone coverage that
- 3:37Speaker 2: make you throw underneath, they can pressure you, put you
- 3:40Speaker 2: in a tougher position. So I think we've got to
- 3:42Speaker 2: be better on first down in those situations, and then
- 3:45Speaker 2: you know, I'm never going to be too disappointed in
- 3:46Speaker 2: a win, though it's hard to win in this league,
- 3:48Speaker 2: especially division games, and this is a that's a that's
- 3:49Speaker 2: a good team. You know, they're two and one in
- 3:51Speaker 2: the division coming into today, so it was a big
- 3:53Speaker 2: win for us. So looking now, we're turning the page
- 3:56Speaker 2: on the New Orleans. But yeah, you could tell at
- 3:58Speaker 2: the end they were trying to di aal some stuff
- 3:59Speaker 2: up to try to get the ball back and give
- 4:01Speaker 2: themselves a shot.
- 4:02Speaker 4: Christian said, he saw you saw something in week one
- 4:07Speaker 4: that the Colts did in coverage and you took advantage
- 4:09Speaker 4: of it this time on the touchdown to him, Could
- 4:12Speaker 4: you tell us what what did you see that time
- 4:14Speaker 4: around and how did you get that score?
- 4:17Speaker 1: Yeah, it was just something.
- 4:18Speaker 2: You know, we'd been an empty a few times in
- 4:21Speaker 2: the first game, and there was some some things that
- 4:23Speaker 2: I saw, especially after watching it and then going back
- 4:26Speaker 2: this week preparing for him again. Or I saw just
- 4:29Speaker 2: how they played their coverage and they play their same
- 4:32Speaker 2: coverage seventy percent of the game. Then they'll mix it
- 4:34Speaker 2: up a little bit, but they want to play their
- 4:36Speaker 2: three deep type coverage and thought we had we had
- 4:39Speaker 2: I had a little tell on just if I can,
- 4:41Speaker 2: if I can set outside and get this corner to
- 4:43Speaker 2: tie down. He's really the three deep, he's the deep
- 4:46Speaker 2: third player, so if he ties down, there's really no
- 4:49Speaker 2: one left for Christians. That's what we talked about this week,
- 4:51Speaker 2: and you know, that was something that I felt really
- 4:53Speaker 2: confident that we would get and I'd showed him all
- 4:55Speaker 2: the clips and honestly happened exactly how we thought it would.
- 4:57Speaker 1: That.
- 4:57Speaker 2: It doesn't always work that way when you think something's
- 4:59Speaker 2: gonna wor but it was cool that that it happened
- 5:02Speaker 2: that way today.
- 5:06Speaker 3: Trevor.
- 5:07Speaker 5: Four turnovers that the defense that created today you scored
- 5:10Speaker 5: on three of them.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Just what you can say about total team football.
- 5:14Speaker 1: It's huge.
- 5:14Speaker 2: I think that's the thing we're playing complimentary. We've done
- 5:17Speaker 2: that the last three weeks now and we won all
- 5:20Speaker 2: through those games. It's kind of you know, it definitely
- 5:22Speaker 2: it ties together. And you know, even today, I don't
- 5:24Speaker 2: think I don't know what the stats were, but you know,
- 5:27Speaker 2: we were good in the first half, second half, didn't
- 5:28Speaker 2: move the ball much, didn't have a ton of yards.
- 5:30Speaker 2: But when you have the turnovers and you're scoring off turnovers,
- 5:32Speaker 2: that the defense is provided, and you you know, it
- 5:35Speaker 2: doesn't look like necessarily you look at the statue that
- 5:37Speaker 2: we played that great, but you look at the turnover
- 5:38Speaker 2: margin and you look at the points off turnovers, and
- 5:40Speaker 2: that's huge, and we're just playing really complimentary. That's what
- 5:43Speaker 2: the good teams do. You take advantage when other teams,
- 5:45Speaker 2: when the other team makes mistakes, and you limit your mistakes.
- 5:48Speaker 2: And that's what I think we're doing a better job
- 5:50Speaker 2: of through these last three games.
- 5:53Speaker 6: Trevor, Obviously, a wins a win, but I know Doug
- 5:56Speaker 6: has said that you passed a score, you run to
- 5:58Speaker 6: win on this team.
- 5:59Speaker 3: Did you feel like you guys did that today in
- 6:02Speaker 3: particular in.
- 6:02Speaker 2: The second half, Not necessarily in the second half. I
- 6:07Speaker 2: think in the first half we did. I thought we
- 6:09Speaker 2: were really efficient. We were removing the ball, we were attacking,
- 6:13Speaker 2: you know all those things. You know you could you
- 6:14Speaker 2: could probably tell watching the game that's what it felt like.
- 6:18Speaker 2: And then the second half, I just think that we
- 6:20Speaker 2: got to execute better. Like I said, whether that's on
- 6:22Speaker 2: first down, not having a negative play or or whatever it.
- 6:25Speaker 1: Is, not having a miscommunication with me and Christian.
- 6:27Speaker 2: You know, that's something where we've we've played a lot
- 6:29Speaker 2: together now and we have to be better and I
- 6:31Speaker 2: have to be better at, you know, making things clear
- 6:35Speaker 2: in that situation. They did a good job, brought up
- 6:37Speaker 2: pressure and you know we were able to That's the
- 6:39Speaker 2: one thing you don't want is in that situation to
- 6:40Speaker 2: turn it over in our territory.
- 6:43Speaker 1: And give them the ball back there.
- 6:44Speaker 2: That's really the only way they have a chance is
- 6:46Speaker 2: if you give them turnovers and you know, you don't
- 6:48Speaker 2: execute an offense. So that was something where definitely need
- 6:51Speaker 2: to clean up and that's something that we can take
- 6:52Speaker 2: away from to get better at. But we did everything
- 6:54Speaker 2: we needed to do to win, and we took advantage
- 6:56Speaker 2: of the opportunities that we had and we had a
- 6:57Speaker 2: short field, we scored.
- 6:59Speaker 1: And that was just was kind of the story today.
- 7:03Speaker 5: Mike Brotski, Florida National News. Last year, Trevor, you celebrated
- 7:07Speaker 5: a playoff victory at waffle House. For this season, have
- 7:11Speaker 5: you identified any have you identified any places where you
- 7:14Speaker 5: might actually celebrate any of the key victories for the Jaguars,
- 7:17Speaker 5: and also how did you celebrate the two London victories
- 7:19Speaker 5: as well.
- 7:22Speaker 2: I haven't I haven't picked the spot that we're going
- 7:24Speaker 2: to celebrate this year yet still early.
- 7:26Speaker 1: We got a lot of work to do before we
- 7:28Speaker 1: get there, but no, I haven't. That's a good question.
- 7:30Speaker 2: And then for my birth or not for my birthday
- 7:32Speaker 2: for sorry my birthday was in London, but for the
- 7:35Speaker 2: two London wins, didn't really do much of trying to
- 7:37Speaker 2: get back and get our bodies back on this time here,
- 7:40Speaker 2: the five hour time change all that, so we're kind
- 7:42Speaker 2: of just trying to recover and keep this momentum going.
- 7:45Speaker 2: But now I have some family in town, so we
- 7:47Speaker 2: hung out with them a little bit and and Mrissa obviously,
- 7:49Speaker 2: so that was that was good, Trevor.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Everybody knows that Josh Allen is in a contract year.
- 7:56Speaker 3: Can you even imagine a locker room there next year
- 8:00Speaker 3: year without Josh Allen in it?
- 8:02Speaker 1: No, I mean he's a huge part of this team.
- 8:06Speaker 2: I mean just brings a lot of energy, has that intensity,
- 8:09Speaker 2: that look in his eyes every day, whether it's practice
- 8:11Speaker 2: Sunday whenever. Just brings a lot of energy to our team,
- 8:15Speaker 2: to the defense. And he's playing he's playing great right now,
- 8:18Speaker 2: and I mean that's you need guys like that, especially
- 8:20Speaker 2: pass rushers, guys.
- 8:22Speaker 1: In the D line and he's he's bringing that force.
- 8:25Speaker 3: Follow up, how much respect does he command because of
- 8:27Speaker 3: the fact that he was here even before you were
- 8:30Speaker 3: and and went through some the team was going through
- 8:33Speaker 3: some really tough times. Not that you haven't gone through
- 8:35Speaker 3: it yet yourself, but but the fact that he's been
- 8:37Speaker 3: through a lot of that.
- 8:40Speaker 2: I think, you know, guys respect guys respect players based
- 8:45Speaker 2: on really their their work ethic, how they come to
- 8:48Speaker 2: work every day, and obviously performance is a big part
- 8:50Speaker 2: of that too. You gotta to command their respect. You
- 8:52Speaker 2: gotta take care of your business on the field too.
- 8:54Speaker 2: So he does all those things. He works extremely hard.
- 8:57Speaker 2: He's a great example for young guys coming in. He
- 9:00Speaker 2: was that way when I came in. It's just a
- 9:01Speaker 2: guy you can look to that's gonna do things the
- 9:03Speaker 2: right way. So he commands a lot of respect in
- 9:05Speaker 2: that locker room.
- 9:06Speaker 1: Guys.
- 9:06Speaker 2: Guys respect his opinion, what he thinks, the way he
- 9:08Speaker 2: carries himself. And then especially the guys that have been
- 9:12Speaker 2: here now for a few years, have been through the
- 9:14Speaker 2: good and the bad times and all that, I think
- 9:16Speaker 2: they have a great perspective on you know, I guess
- 9:20Speaker 2: where we're at right now, and I think that's that's
- 9:22Speaker 2: an important thing. We got a lot of guys that
- 9:23Speaker 2: have been here for a long time that had that perspective.
- 9:26Speaker 2: Thank you, yeah, thanks, appreciate Jef
