  Speaker 1: I mean, unfortunately Zay couldn't play, Um, but that just
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: means more opportunities for guys like myself or Tim or
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: even you know, KP had a chance to be activated.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: So UM, you know when somebody like that goes down,
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: it shouldn't be any drop off. You know, we gotta
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: go in there. Um. Coach and staff expects us to
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: continue to make plays, just like you know ces Ada's
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: or a Christian or Marv. So Um, that's just the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: mentality we have that team still angry this morning or
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: today from yesterday. Oh yeah, obviously, UM, but you know,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: we just want we got a twenty four hour old
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: so we watched the film and we're try to completely
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: flush it. Um. We're focused on Houston right now. We've
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: got a big division division game at home. You know,
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: feel like we haven't been at home in like a month. Um,
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: But you know, we gotta we gotta, we gotta learn
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: from what the mistakes that we made. UM, and that's
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: what we're gonna do. We're gonna bounce back. What was
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: the feeling like on the sideline late in the game,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, y'all jumped out to that league even than
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: things kind of stalled out. But all of a sudden,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: last drive, you're out there with a chance to go
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: down the field and maybe tie it up. What was
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the confidence level? Like, we had no doubt that we
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: could go down there and and move the ball. And
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've been doing it all season. We've been
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: really good in these two minute situations so far this year. Unfortunately,
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: we turned the ball over. UM. That was just kind
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of the story of the game, was, you know, turning
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over, not executing on third down, fourth down. UM.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: But those are things we've been doing well all years.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: So we just got to get back to what we're doing. UM.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You know, we can't let the elements affect anything. UM,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: just get back to what we do play Jaguar football
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: in UM, continue to go win games on that touchdown.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: How often does that play work for practice? I guess
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't put it in the game if it didn't
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: always that first. We actually just put that in last week.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: But UM, that's a credit to the coach and staff.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: UM kind of knowing what the Eagos would have ran
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: in that situation. UM, they kind of the way we
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: drew it up. They were like, this is what they're
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: gonna do. And they did exactly that. They kind of
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: got confused and lost um, and it worked in to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: my benefit, our benefit. But I got a nice little
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: toesh down. No, because that's what the coaching staff said
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: was gonna happen, is that they said he was gonna
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: they're not going to communicate it properly that you know,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: if you watch the film, they were trying to tell
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: the guy on the other side, if he goes in motion,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you gotta go take him. Um. And it happened just
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: like they said. So that's credited. The coachures out and
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: then on the plate, we're tram rivers three a little bit. Uh,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you know, just did then need just a little bit
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: more air under the ball? Uh? He just he got pressure.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: He kind of threw He probably threw it a little
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: bit sooner than he wanted to. UM. I don't know
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: who it was they got. They got a little bit
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: of pressure on him. But I mean we had a
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: chance right there to go go up twenty one. Nothing
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: right there that would have been that would have been huge.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But I mean, you know, if you gotta get back
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: to executing the screenplay on the left and you kind
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: of come back and let Cam get in front and
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to take us through that. I mean, that's uh that
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: that plays designed um offensive line to tackle in the guard,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: to come out and lead block um so and then
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I when I caught it, I've seen nothing but green Jersey.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So I was like, all right, I'm gonna let Cam
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: get out here first, and then I'm gonna I'm gonna
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: start running. So and I've seen Cam. Pancake came and
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, I'm gonna following him. So I
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: just kept going. Credit to Cam. Cam is probably one
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: of the most athletic tackles in the game right now. Um.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: You know, we do a lot of things to get
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: him in space, lead block and stuff like that. So, um,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: it's just fun watch him. He's been doing it all year,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: or till he did at the forty four on the
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Colts to completely pancake. Though injuries are now, do you
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: feel like you're gonna get more bats than the rotation
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: even if everybody's healthy. Um, I mean I hopefully, I'd imagine,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: but I mean I'm just playing whatever well I am.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Obviously I'm gonna be back there returning kicks, trying to
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: make plays, um and always have that mentality that if
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it's if they call my number, then you know I'm
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: gonna go out there and make plays. And I've always
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: said that's how I see myself as just a playmaker.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: So whenever they call my number, I'm gonna go out
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: there and trying to execute. Trevors generally, I don't know
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: needing guys does in case your eyes, is that the
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: same at his game where you need a little kick
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: me out, He's he's the same, you know, whether whether
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: he's having his best game or whether he feels like
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he's you know, not playing like he's supposed to be. Um.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: And and you know that's why we have guys like
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Marv and Christian and Zay especially say, you know, keep
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: the energy high. Especially with Trevor. He's such a young quarterback. Um,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: he's got a lot on his play and UM, you
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: know we're riding with him whether he's you know, thrown
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: for five yards or whether he's you know, playing in
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: a sloppy weather game like that yesterday. So, UM, you
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: know we're gonna ride with Trevor because he's he's a
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: leader of this team, whether he um really realized it
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or not. He's so young, but um, you know we're
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: riding with with with sixteen to the wheels fall off.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: You mentioned that on that touchdown that it happened just
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: how the coaching staff told you how much, just when
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: you go out there and see something they said, well,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: this is what's gonna happen, and then you see it
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: actually go that way. Just helped to build that confidence
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: in that trust between the players and the coaching staff.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I mean that's been happening all year, especially after the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Washington game where we weren't executing like we felt we
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: should have. Um, you know, coaches started really scheming things
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: up and you've seen that in the Colts game, in
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the Charter game, UM, and a lot of the big
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: plays we had and a lot of the you know,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the explosive players we had where you know looks that
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: we've seen on film, and the coaching staff were like,
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: when we run this player, we're gonna get this look
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: and you know it would happen. And UM, that definitely
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: just builds the trust, just knowing that they're gonna put
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: us in positions to make plays and to be successful.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: And UM, you know it's a long season. You know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: we're two and two in this in this first quarter,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: this season. Um, you know, we're gonna put that behind
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: us and we're just focused on this next quarter. This season.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: Two losses so far this year, for both of them
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: by one score. I mean, obviously there's no moral victories,
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: but you gotta look at both of those games and
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: saying we made a play here or play there. You know,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: you could have walked out and been talking about an
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: undefeated team right now. Yeah, obviously you think about that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: all the time, but um, you can't go back in
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the past and change things. But you know, we feel
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: like we left a lot on the field yesterday. Um,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: you know, we just watched the film. Even even a
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: couple of those you know, those turnovers, we feel like,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: you know, we could have made some plays off of them.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: But you know, we're putting that behind us. You know,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: we got that twenty four hour rule. But um, we're
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: we're a really good team, especially when we're at there
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: executing like we're supposed to be, you know, offense, defense,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: special teams. We're gonna be one of the best things
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: in this league. But you know, we gotta do the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: little things to to get to that level, to you know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: talk like that, to get to stay there. You gotta
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: win your conference games. You got a game against the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: techt Us coming up this week. How important is that
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: one to be kind of like a bounce back performance. UM,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously if we want to bounce back, but
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: we we always look at it is the next game
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: is always the most important. Um, you know, we want
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: to go want to know this week. UM, Fortunately it's
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: a division opponent. You know, we're at the top of
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the AFC South right now. Um, we're looking to stay
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: stay there. But um, we gotta we gotta go handle
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: a Houston team that obviously doesn't have any wins right now,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: but they're still a really good team. If you watch
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: them on film, they've done a lot of really good things. UM.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: So it's no cake walk coming in here right now.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: So Houston is a really good team coming in here. Um,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and we got no challenge. Appreciate
