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