Press Pass | Trevor Lawrence on Performance in Week 6 Loss to Bears · Press Pass

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I didn't since that.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Obviously, the way the game turned out and some critical
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: errors really all the way around would point to that.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, I felt like we were ready to play.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I thought we had a good week. You know, obviously
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: everyone deals with the travel over here Chicago had to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: do it earlier in the week too, So I thought,
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: even considering that, you know, we had a good plan,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: good week, I felt like we were ready to go.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: And then obviously it didn't go our way. Didn't make
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: enough plays, didn't execute, and had just too many mistakes.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: So I mean, you know, I guess I can't say
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: that it wasn't that, cause I think that definitely can
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: contribute to that. So yeah, I know he bounced back
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: with some scores later in the game, but how he
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: was in a momentum killer. I guess maybe Gates dropped
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: touchdown on the first drive after giving.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: The three and out defensively and then marching all the
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: way down the field.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: No, I mean, it's it's football that happens. You know,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I missed a couple of throws the night too, so
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's gonna happen.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: Obviously.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: You want you want those guys catch every ball and
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that'd be great, and they want to catch every ball,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: but that's just not this game, and you're gonna make
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: mistakes and stuff's gonna happen and we end up getting
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a field goal and it's three nothing us. So I mean, yeah,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: we'd love to score, but it's a long game.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: I think as a team, like we have to be
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we can't be so fragile. You know, it's like it's
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: not gonna go perfect every week. You know, most weeks
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: aren't gonna go perfect. You're gonna have to sometimes dig
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: yourself out of a hole.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: We got down in the second quarter and had an
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: opportunity to come out at halftime and didn't take advantage
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: of it. So no, I don't think that that was
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously you look back, every play matters, and
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: we had plenty of mistakes, but no, I don't think
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: that that was a huge momentum shift. Obviously you'd love
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: to make it, but no, it's it's on all of us.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Is there any way back from one to five? That
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: for the head coach?
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we got love more games, so uh, there's definitely
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: a way back. You know, we gotta you know, me
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: pumping us up isn't gonna do anything up here, so
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: we got to take care of business on our end.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it's a it's a long season and we
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: have a lot of football left.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Am I still playing for Doug teams? Still playing for you?
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's our head coach, and you know, we're we're
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: a team and look, this is this is tough. Losing
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: is hard and it's hard, so but it has nothing
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to do with that relationship. How we feel about coach,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: and we're we're a group. We're staying together and we
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: know brighter days our heead. We just have to keep working.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: We have to keep putting our best foot forward and
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: you know, we just got to stick together as a team.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: We gotta play more complimentary. We're not playing good team
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: football right now. So whatever the answer to that is,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: we gotta find it quick. But yeah, there's no no
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: thought of that on my mind.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: What gives you confidence going into next week's too? Gives
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: me confidence. I just I know, you know we can
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: do as a team. I've seen it. We have. We
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: have some really good players, with a lot of playmakers.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: We've had a speaking offensively because obviously that's my side
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of the ball, you know, we've We've done it before.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: I've seen this pull ourselves out of holes bigger than this.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's challenging, but you can't look at
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: it as all this stuff that we have to do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: We just have to take it one day at a time,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: one week at a time. That's what we said before
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: the Coltskan's Alway said before this game too, and it
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: didn't go our way. But that doesn't mean you jump
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: ship and you quit and it's one game. I mean
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: it's a long season and I've been through a lot
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in my career. I've lost a lot of games and
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: we got we got to change that around here, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: we gotta. But we have to be the ones to
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: do it. You know, we have to take accountability. We
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: have to go play well and find a way to win.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna go perfect, but just find a way
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to win in the end and put yourself in position too.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: That's what sucks is today we didn't have a chance
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: to because we made too many mistakes. So, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: those games always definitely suck.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Off.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: Until lost tonight, I thought we actually did a lot
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: of things well. I thought we were better on third down.
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: You know, we weren't able to run the ball as
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: good as we wanted to based on a lot of
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: different things.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: A lot of factors go into that.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: I think the way the game went and us having
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: to become kind of pass heavy towards the end to
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: try and score quick, that's a big part of it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: But I thought we did some really nice saints, like
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: I said, better on third down. Thought we had a
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: good plan for this defense. It's a good defense, and
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: like I said, it was just the mistakes that kind
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of started to accumulate, you know, whether it was turnovers
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: or it was just assignments, you know, little things here
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: and there. From there's enough blame to go around for everybody.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: You know, it's including myself, so there's there's plenty of
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: that there. But it just seemed like it seemed like
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: our plan and our plays were there, and we made
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: a lot of them, but then we made some.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Crucial errors too.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: You know, it felt like when we got some big plays,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: we would have some penalties or we'd turn it over,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: and then we didn't play complimentary. When the defense got
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: a stop, we didn't score. When we got a big
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: kick return, we didn't score, We turn it over. They
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: went and scored. And that's the quickest way to lose
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: in this league is to not take advantage of your
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: opportunities when you get that momentum. It felt like we
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: didn't take advantage of it today. How pleased with you
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: would be bounce it back to the very next series
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: with two very crucial catches in that next drive. I mean,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not surprised at all. Evan's a guy I got
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of trust in. Obviously it's good to have
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: him back. He made some big plays today and like
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: I said, it's we can't be That's what I'm talking about,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: fragile as a team, like we can't Yeah, he had
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: he had a fumble. He knows that, he knows that.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: You know, that stuff shouldn't happen and that can affect
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: the game. But it's one play, so you have to
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: bounce back as an individual, but also the team around
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: you has to pick you up. And you know, offensively,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: we got to go make more plays next time we
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: get the ball.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Defensively, we got to get a stop.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: You know, it's it's on all of us, so there's
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be mistakes and you know, we had two turnovers
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: today which didn't help us. It's harder to win that way,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: but you got to be able to overcome stuff too.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: You can't just say, all right, we don't want to
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: turn the ball over. So what happens when you do.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Turn it over?
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: You just stop playing? So, you know, I think that
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: that's a big part of it is. You know, he's
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: a very resilient guy, so I wasn't surprised to see
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: how he bounced back. I know he's he's beating himself up,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: but it's not it's not on him. I mean, it's
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: one play in a long game, and you got to
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: be able to overcome some stuff.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: About yourself and the tape after a defeat.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: By that, Yeah, I think how we respond is the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: biggest thing. And you know, good thing is we play
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: next week, get another opportunity. We're staying here, We're not
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: going anywhere, So you guys get us for another week.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you'll learn a lot of just the way
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: we respond and we have to stick together. And obviously
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: you want to watch the tape and take all the
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: accountability and really figure out what you can do better
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: as an individual, as an offense. Just take it for
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: what it is and then move on, you know, by
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: the time Wednesday Tuesday Wednesday comes around, we have to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: be moved on to getting ready for New England because
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: it's an game. This league, it doesn't slow up. You
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: play a good team every week. So whatever we can
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: do to get our get our minds, our bodies all
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: ready to go and play well on Sunday, that's the
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: biggest thing, and that's all we can do and just
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: take it one game at time. Following up with what
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: you said earlier, does it feel like this team right
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: now has to play close to perfect in order to
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: have success.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: You can't make a mistake because.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: It kind of snowballs from there.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: It does feel like it'd be perfect. It's aod question.
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think that you can't play that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: way because you're never going to be perfect.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Did it feel that way today?
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: Yes, because we it did snowball, So I think that
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: that Unfortunately it happened today and we let those mistakes kind
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: of accumulate and just pile on. But you're never gonna
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: play perfect. So if you're waiting to play perfect, you're
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: not gonna win a lot of games. So I think
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: as a team we do have to be better at
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: overcoming adversity and when things don't go well, you know
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: there you want to start fast, and I thought we
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: started pretty good today.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: You know, we got three points. Obviously we'd have a
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: get touchdown.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: We've got three points started off, we got a stop
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: before that, so and that's been kind of our problem
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: in the past, was not starting. So we did that
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: today and then we still had some of these mistakes
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: creep in. So whatever it takes, just to play full
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes as clean as you can, and if you
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: do make a mistake, just go make the next play
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: and you don't have to you don't have to do
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: more than your job. I think that's a big part
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: of it, and that's I'm talking to myself too, and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: as a quarterback, sometimes when one play doesn't go right,
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: the next play I've had and it's having a ton
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: of my career where I try to make make the
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: play the next time and make it worse because I'm
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: trying to do too much and I'm not just doing
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: my job. So I think that that's a big part
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: of it too, that we have to do as a
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: team and just control that aspect of it. Thank y'all,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it.
