  Speaker 1: Um, I mean, I think it comes from a lot
• 0:01
  Speaker 1: of things. I think just obviously the experiences I've had
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: up until this point, you know, good, bad, indifferent. You know,
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I've I've learned just throughout my own experiences, and really
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I've had good people in my ear, good voices, and
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: obviously my family. I think my parents did. I know,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: my parents did a great job raising me and teaching me.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: One I think it all goes back to humility too.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Is whether you win, lose, play well, or don't play well,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: it's never all about me. So I think that's the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: main thing I try to keep in mind. Um. And
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: then always I've tried to just ever put everything on me.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: I'd rather take too much of the blame than than not,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So it's like, even if
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: you know, receiver drops the ball or it's a place
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: someone's got to catch, or it's running back or whatever
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: it is, I always try to just it starts with, hey,
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: my bad, let's you know, talk through it figured out
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. That's even just on the field. And
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: then obviously you know when it comes to coming up
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: here after a game where I don't play well or
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: whatever it is, where we lose. You know, at the
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: end of the day, even if I do play well
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: and we lose, we still didn't get it done. And
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: there's always things that you can do better. And uh um, yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: I think I've just had I've had great coaches too,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: you know, my high school coach, Coach Sweeney, coach Peterson,
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: all the coaches that I've come in contact with have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: have taught me something and learned a lot from them.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: And just how they handled the media. I think that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: was something I had to learn early in my career,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: just standing up in front of cameras and reporters and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: media more than most people to even starting senior year
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: high school. So I think I learned that early and
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: just always try to stay out of headlines. You know,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: sometimes I'm probably pretty boring up here because I'm like
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: a broken record, but uh, you guys, are you guys?
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Are you guys? Are too kind? I appreciate that, so
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: but it's I think that's that's sometimes the best way
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be, you know. Um, So I just try to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: I try to be that way. Are you playing with
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the most Are you playing with the most confident you
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: played with for this point in your career? This week?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Is that Is that just the natural progression of what
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it's going to be every week, you know what I mean.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I like the way you know, I've
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: been playing the last two weeks. There's obviously, like like
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I say every week every day when I talk to
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: you guys, there's always things to improve on. And you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like I've played, I've played well the last
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: two weeks, but there's there's still a few plays every
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: game that you know, I can do better, whether it's
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: a misthrow and missed read, getting to my through my progressions,
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: faster protections, all that stuff. There's always things I can,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: you know, improve on. So there's little things, but I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: do feel really comfortable, really confident. I feel like we're
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: starting to click more and more as an offense, especially
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: in the passing game. Um, and I think that's something
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: that is obviously important, especially this time of year. You
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: want to be playing your best football November, December, January.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: So I like where we're at as an offense. Really.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Obviously we didn't we didn't get it done last week,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: but as far as the steps that we took, you know,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: when you really look at the details and some of
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: the stuff we're doing. Um, I think we're making a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: lot of steps. So, um, just trying to continue that
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: improvement and keep that confidence for myself and just for
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: all of us. And I think, you know, obviously it's
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: a huge part of the game is playing with that
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: confidence and trust in each other. What's the challenge of
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: making that three in a row but where you're playing
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: pretty well against that, Yeah, it's it's the same thing
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: every week, preparing, you know, forgetting the last one and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: preparing to to go play your best game this next Sunday.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: And that's you know, using your same process during the week,
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: not not cutting it short, you know, especially this time
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of year, even doing a little extra, you know, especially
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: like we talked about this holidays, families in town. Still
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: gotta you know, get all the work done, get get
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: prepared for the game on Sunday, and um, you you
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: do it. You stay consistent by consistently preparing the same way. Um.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: So that's what that's what I'm gonna do. And obviously
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the the Ravens present some challenges. I got a really
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: good defense. They're playing well right now, so it'll be
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: be a good, good challenge for us. But you know,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: you do it the same way. Just prepare pair like
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: I did the other the other weeks. And that's what
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: I've done the whole season. Obviously, you know, I'm starting
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: to be more consistent, but um, you gotta keep doing
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: it every week. How would you describe, Trevor, when the
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: group came back in on Monday here, what was the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: vibe of the group compared to maybe last year's by
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: or maybe even late in the season last year. I mean,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: we've always this group has been really good. I feel
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: like we've been focused. Um, we've we haven't lost sight
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: of what we're trying to do. You know. Obviously we
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: had some some bumps in the road along the way,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, a tough stretch, and every day we never
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: really lost that that vision of what's in round of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: us and what we still can accomplish this year. You know.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So I think that's one one thing that this team
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: has done a really good job of, is is keeping
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: that in sight and keeping that in front of our
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: mind of of what we can accomplish and what's still
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: in front of us. And the same thing we got
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: back on Monday. Everybody's ready to work. You know, we're
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: treating this like a new season, you know, seven games
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: season we got, we got, we're guaranteed seven games and
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: after that's whatever we earned. So just putting our best
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: foot forward for this next forty something days. You think
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: about anybody can do that, you know, just just do
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: your best every day and put yourself in a position
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: to win these games and see where we stack up
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: at the end of it. Your Louisville, how much did
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: you watch what he's doing? Yeah, I watched. I was
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: actually at the uh I don't know if you remember
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: that Clemson Louisville game, I think sixteen seventeen with one
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of those one of those years. Um, I was at
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: that game. So it was it was a really really
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: good one him and de Sean, and he's a he's
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: a great player. Just yeah, I think it came down
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: to like a fourth down that they didn't get at
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the end of the game in the red zone. But uh,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: um yeah, I mean, just a guy honestly, just fun
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: to watch. Not going to be as fun to watch,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: you know, this this week. You know, um obviously not
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: want him to be as fun to watch this week.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So but he's just an incredible player. He's a guy.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's hard to contain you can do so many different things.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And obviously he's a great runner, but just the thread
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: years with his arm too, you know, can make all
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: the throws. Um just a freak. You know, he's a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: he's a great player. So he's a guy. There's a
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: lot of them in this league, not not exactly like him.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: He's really unique. But um, I played Um Patrick last week.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: So every week you got a new challenge. And this
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: is definitely a big challenge for our defense and I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: excited to watch him prepare for that. Russ him, Uh,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't. Probably woudn't bode well for us if that's
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: our If that's our plan, is trying to out rush him.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So I don't I don't know. We'll see. You don't
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: want to give anything away, but I don't know if
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: that'll be it. What was what is your relationship with
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Patrick Trevor? And then I know a lot of people
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: heard like I guess he came up to you post
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: game and was like, hey, like at these guys together
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: and rally them. Had you had a relationship with him?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Do you know him at all? And obviously do you
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: know Lamar as well? Like that, Yeah, I've you know
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: I've met and talked to Patrick a couple of times,
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: you know, two or three times he ran too each other,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: and UM, always been friendly. No, I wouldn't say we're
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: not close friends by any means, just because we haven't
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: hung out much, but really just have a lot of
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: respect for him and UM hopefully vice versa. You know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: just seeing him along the way. He's always been a
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: guy that obviously is a couple of years older than me.
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: And watch the way he's played and just represented himself
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: and it's been, you know, cool to see and some
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: somebody kind of look up to. And then Lamar I
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: met him and I think when I was in high
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: school some camp somewhere I don't even remember where. Um,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: but the same way with him. I think he's always
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: carried himself in a respectable way. And Um, just like
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: I said, obviously on the field that speaks for herself.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: He's a great player. So it's it's fun to watch
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: both of those guys. They're both great players and good
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: people from everything I've heard. Kind in a similar vein
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: talking about good guys, Calais Campbell, what do you know
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: about him from the guys here in the locker room
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: and then from you watching from afar, heard so many
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: good things from from personnel here staff. Um, guys in
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the team that played with them only heard good things.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: So he's a great guy. And then on tape, I
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: mean he's like I said the same about the other guys.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: He's a he's a great player, presents some challenges for us. So, um,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I've heard he's like one of Jacksonville's favorite guys. You
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: know that that's been here, and I think he he
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: loved it here too from everything that I've heard. Um,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I think his brothers around here somewhere and talk to
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: him when I got drafted. So um, I mean he's
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he's he's a guy that just does it the right way.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: And you look at the way he plays the game,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and there's certain guys when you watch him play and
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: how they carry themselves and you just respect the way
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: they go about their business and just loves the game.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: And I think that obviously makes the game better for everybody. Defensively, obviously,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: you know him in that front are kind of getting
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: at cooking now. But the linebacking corp they add ro
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Kuwan and then I know in the back end there
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: a little bit younger, what do you see from them
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: layer by layer on the defensive side, Yeah, they're they're
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a really good group. You know, you look at the guys,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: a lot of them have played together for a while. Um.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: And then like you said, the front seven is is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: really flying around. Obviously they added ro Kuan who's who's
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: a great player, and that's that made him a lot
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: better for sure. So you just you look at those
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: the front seven. They play hard there. Fis are cool,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: they're fast and it's the biggest thing with their linebackers
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: Patrick Queen and Rokuan Smith, the sidelines, the sideline, those
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: guys can fly, so that presents some challenges. And then
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: they're back in you know, Marlin hunt Free, Marcus Peters,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Kyle Hambleton's um all, I mean, you keep going on
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: all all the guys in the secondary. I'd say the
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: one thing is you can tell they're really well coats
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: are all on the same page. You know. It's a
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: it's a defense that's been playing together for a while
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and you can see that on tape. And then obviously
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: they added ro Kwan. You see him starting to get
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: more and more comfortable and flying around. So it's a
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: great defense. And then today, it's just another challenge for us,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: and um, we'll have to prepare to to, you know,
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: in our own way, to find holes and find things
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: that we can expose. But they're they're really good defense,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: and they obviously are gonna make it tough for you.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Good all right, thank you all ye
