• 0:53

• 0:56
  Speaker 3: corrections and you know, move forward, coach.

  Speaker 2: him to well down the road.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Is that something the team's going to be moving forward
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: to instead of moving to Travis atn No, not at all,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Travis is our guy, you know. And and Tank, Tank
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: had a good game. It's just the way. It's the
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: way games go, you know. Uh. And and happy for Tank.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: I had great for the offensive line obviously in those
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: some of those situations there, and and but you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: Travis is our guy, and and uh, you know, Tank
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: had a good game today.
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: Though, Doug, obviously the offense has not been what you
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: wanted the first four weeks.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: What was different about about Trevor today? You know, Trevor
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: is the same guy every day. Honestly, you know, I
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: didn't I didn't really see anything other than him working
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: through some of the issues you know that we've had
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the first first month of the season. And you know, listen,
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Trevor's a professional, and he's our guy, and we continue
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: to to help him and support him and do everything
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: we can for him. And and I think, you know,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: he just has to understand that, you know, we're gonna
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do that, right and as a quarterback, you
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: just go out and do your job. And and he
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: did that today. He ran the offense, and he saw
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the field well he you know, gosh, I mean, there
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: were there were some big throws in there. So I
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: think it was a just a great effort, you know,
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: by everybody, but but to me, Trevor was the same
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: same guy who's always been.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Uh, what prompted you in the first quarter? I believe
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: to challenge the spot.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Because you know, I mean it's early in the game.
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: You know, you don't want you don't want to know,
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: could risk losing a time out and now it was.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Clear clear that his knee was down prior to the
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: line the game.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Was that something you observe observed?
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: The guys upstairs were right on top of that with
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: the replays that we got, and so it was it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: was a pretty easy from me, It was a pretty
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: easy challenge.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Uh, Doug, congrats on the win. You have been an
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: art and supporter of this offensive line through the tough times,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: and you came up against a team today I was
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: averaging three sacks of game coming in and you pretty
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: much shut them down. Kept Trevor clean in the pocket
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: for a longer time than he has been. Tell me
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: a little about that performance today because I thought that
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: was such a key to that.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought this is the second week in a row,
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: really that our line has played good as a unit,
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: you know, and listen. I mean it's been the same
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: five guys now, right, So when I say there's continuity
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: keeping those five together, there's continuity and they start learning
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to play together. And that's what you're seeing. I think
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: these last couple of weeks you're seeing that. And it
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: was a you know, just a great game by those
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: guys again today, And and you know they do have
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: they do have a good pass rushing. It's you know,
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: I know they're missing some guys, but still they you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: even there, they're second guys that come in, can can
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: get after the passer. And I thought our guys did
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: a good job there in the run game as well.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: So but there's consistency with playing together and working through
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: your issues that that helped us win this game today.
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: So even though you know Trevor's the same guy that
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: he's been, when someone has a performance like this after
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: some struggles, do you get a sensor's a weight off
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: of his shoulders a little bit after today?
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: Well, I think there's a weight off everybody's shoulders, fair right, Yeah,
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: not just him. It's a weight off of my shoulders too. Now,
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: you guys can get off my tail for at least
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: a week. You know, but you know, listen, it's that's
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: what I told the guys. I mean, if they just
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: continue to stick together and work hard and you know,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: trust what we're doing and trust each other, and you
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: know buy. I mean, that's what you're seeing, right. I mean,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: is it perfect. No, It's never gonna be perfect. But
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: it the other thing you had to realize too. We've
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: had five games, four of them have been one score games, right,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: So that's another thing we have to we have to
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: get used to. These games are gonna come down to
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: the last drive or two of a game, and and
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that's something as a as a team we've got to
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: we've got to embrace and we've gotta we got to
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: learn to to do that. And today was a good step.
• 5:28
  Speaker 5: I know Travis was on the sideline I think a
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: lot of fourth quarter towards the end there was he
• 5:34
  Speaker 5: having some issues cramps or any kind of an injury,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: and Christian early in the game didn't seem to be
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: was that involved as much? Was that just part of
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: the way you guys are gonna go game plan wise?
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: You know, it's a it's kind of sometimes too, it's
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: a it's the gust Bradley defense you know, And and
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: it just sometimes it's gonna happen that way, and it's
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: where the ball goes sometimes, you know. And and I'll
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: tell you this. So Christian made a heck of a
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: play late in the game, you know, And and he
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: made another one later in the game here in the
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: fourth quarter that set up that that game winning kick.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: So you know, it's just kind of the way the
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: ebb and flow of the game goes, you know. But
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: as far as TJ I got a check with ferg
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: nothing was said during the game. I know there was
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: one time he got hit on her sideline. He had
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to come out for just a player to maybe just
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: catch his win. But other than that, I gotta find out.
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: The offense has had a chance at the end of
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: some close games recently. How big of a step was
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: it for you to see them kind of take that
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: last drive and really take the game into their hands.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: That's huge, It's huge. It's you know, it's an opportunity
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: to go win the game. And the sideline was into it.
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: The guys were into it. They wanted the ball in
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: their hands. The old line wanted the ball, you know.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's good for it's good for us to
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: do that as a football team. I thought today was
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: a really good complimentary football game. Three aspects, and we
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: had a nice punt return in there. Cam with his kicks,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you know, Logan had a nice punt in there. So
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: special teams did their part. Defense obviously came up huge.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Traybon the three sacks today, an offense did their part.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: So this is a really good complimentary game today.
• 7:15
  Speaker 6: And then I know you need to see the film.
• 7:16
  Speaker 6: But Trayvon, like you said, three sacks, forts fumble, just
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: how much for a presidence was he out there?
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: He was, he was big. It's good to see him,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: you know, take this step forward. He he he he.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: And the d line have been really close to get
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: into the quarterbacks here in these first you know, month
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: of the season. And proud of those guys for the
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: way they've stuck together and continue to work.
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: Coach John it was Cam Little's first game winning kick. Coach,
• 7:44
  Speaker 4: I know you have a lot of faith in him.
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: But I guess talk about that pressure for a rookie kicker, you.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Know, it's uh, I think it's I mean, it's pressure.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: But if you know Cam like like we did, like
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I do, he kind of embraces that honestly, and just
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: a just an excellent kick. Happy for him, you know,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to be able to do that, I think, I think
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: it's it's the reason why we drafted him, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: and that's the reason why he's here. So hats off
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: to him. And and uh, you know, the field goal
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: team for finishing the game.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: Your first answer, you talked about nothing would surprise you
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: with what this offense can do. But a one play drive,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: a one play drive, a two play drive resulted in
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: twenty one points. How gratifying was it to witness that?
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's it's it's a lot. I mean, it's
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: it's again. It just goes to the credit of the team,
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: the credit of the players, the way they the way
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: they work during the week, the amount of time they
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: spend with each other, and just to be able to finally,
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: you know, kind of see it all kind of come together.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: And we've been extremely close right in these games, and uh,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: today it all it all came together. And and proud
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: of the guys for you know, for pulling this one out.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: All right, let's right, that's the quest.
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: Stay
