  Speaker 1: I don't know, honestly, I don't. I don't know why.
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: You know, it's just one of those days. Uh. It's
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: kind of how our offense has been working this whole year.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: It's like you never know whose day it's gonna be. Um,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: it could be anybody. So obviously you have things in
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: the plan for everybody. You know, maybe someone has a
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: little bit more depending on who you're playing, you know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: the defense you're playing. But you know, it wasn't necessarily
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: a game where I knewsday it was gonna have a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: huge day. It was just kind of how things went.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: And then we got some calls in there, you know,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: like the double move out on the outside with a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: long touchdown that we got off the card, which was awesome. Um,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: and just you know, he made a bunch of great plays,
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: so it was awesome. What did it mean to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: seeing the defense get that three and out late and
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: give you guys another chance? I mean just kind of
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: epitomizes this team. You know, well, we're down seventeen at
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: one point. Um, I don't know before that, I think
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: we were down whatever it was through the pick, bad play,
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: defense response holds them kick a field goal, We get
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: it back, go score, fight back. You know, we go
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: on a little run those next two or three series. Offensively,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: we were we were just moving the ball up and
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: down the field, and then we get we get them
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: down at the end, we're down by three. You know,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I have three minutes left on that drive, putting together
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: a good drive, had a nice run, and then I fumble,
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: you know, trying to cut back. You know, I'm kind
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: of mean. Right away. I was like, the game's over
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: you I'll fumbled, and I was just obviously, you know,
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: I couldn't believe it, you know, I was disappointed. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: then I look up, like we got well, we got
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: three time outs. Our defense has been bowing up every
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: time we've needed them today. So I'm standing there at
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: at our defense is mercy, just you know, praying we
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: get a stop, and really believed in those guys just
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: what they've shown and didn't even flinch. You know, when
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I'm walking off, they're all picking me up walking off
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: after the fumble, like we got you, you know, And
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: that's just the mindset of this team, and no matter
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: what happens, you just gotta keep playing. I think we've
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've all seen I mentioned even like the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: game the Vikings game in their night, you gotta keep playing,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: so it's you never know what's in store on the
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: next play. And if you're thinking, if you're too busy
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thinking about the last one, you're gonna miss it. So
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think that's a great example of you know, how
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we were to do that today. Um, just battled some
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: adversity and um it was always the Jags, as do
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: we would say. So we did get record him coming
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: through the hallway screaming that, so that at the end
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: of the the day you have the video Trevor for you,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: um when you go back to and not to bring
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: it up again, but you know the Broncos interception. I've
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: talked to Christian in referenced the fact that the Giants game,
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: you guys come up two feet short. When you look
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: at those games, how you've learned from them. But also,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like you were just saying, the resiliency of this team
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: to for you to fumble and no one flinches, how
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: has that changed over the last five weeks with this
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: team that you guys, that happens and not only do
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: you personally flush the play, but everybody seems to flush it. Uh. Yeah,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: I think it's one of those things. You know, we
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: were pretty this is a new, newer group. You know,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: a lot of us haven't played together before. A few
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: of us have obviously last season and beyond that, but
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we got a lot of new guys, and
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I think you build that over time, that trust and
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: one another, and I think we we built it pretty
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: fast here, but still it takes time. And um, I
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: think earlier in the year, you know, we kind of
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: had to to prove to each other that you know,
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: we can win no matter what the situation is. And
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: then you look at trying to even think the wins
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: we've had Baltimore is one of them, but especially today,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: going back even before that the Raiders game we're down seventeen.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: I think we got more and more confidence as the
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: season's gone on, where no matter what kind of hole
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: we're in, we're gonna find a way out of it,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: and we just gotta keep playing, keep playing. And I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: think we've we've done that now three or four times
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: this season to where now when something bad happens, you know,
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: no one's looking around. We're all just stay in calm.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: We know we just gotta make the next play, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we all know when that time in the game is
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: all right, we're down fourteen, it's late in the third quarter,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: like we gotta we gotta go now. And I think
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: we've been able to, you know, make plays in those
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: big moments where we have to have them. And obviously
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: you don't want to be in that situation every week,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: but sometimes you're gonna be. You know, there's I mean, Dallas,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: that's a great team, um, really really good team. So
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: that's gonna happen. Just to be able to fight through that,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: I think it says a lot about this team how
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: much we trust one another. And then just kind of
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: icing on the cake, Ray Sewan, you know, the game
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: ceiling pick six is incredible and where were you? I
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: was over by our little quarterback section on the bench,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: just standing there watching and big third down obviously um,
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: and I could just tell the way the play was
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: unfold you know, he kind of had to scramble. I
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: figured you're gonna get a stop there. But then I
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: saw him throw the shallow and the ball got tipped
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and when he caught it, I was just like thinking, Okay,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be in field goal range. Maybe get a
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: first down kick. The kick the game winner gonna be good.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: And then he just kept rolling. I was like that,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Thank goodness. I didn't want to go back on the field.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: You know, just end it right now. We all we
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: all want to go home, get the win, and I mean,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: what better way to do it than I'll walk off
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: by him? And he had a crazy I don't know
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: what the stats were, but he had a crazy day
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to day which was which was awesome six in his
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: life before going back to the the pe Wings. Good time
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: for it, It's a really good time for it. And
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: Trevor's it's a national game, it's the Cowboys. You know,
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: what do you think people take away from this team
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: that we're watching this game? Um, you know about this
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: team's identity, about who they are, about what kind of
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: feeling you guys have about this team? You know what
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, it's ah, I don't really I don't
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: really care honestly, what they what what people think? You know,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: I say that I do think. You know, it feels
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: good to win a game like this on a you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: a big game, national game, like you said, against a
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: great team. Um, it feels good just to you know,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: show who we are. So I can't you can't lie
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: I mean that feels good to show people that, but
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: it doesn't change anything about us. You know, we're the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: same group. We lost five games straight in October and
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: everyone wrote us off. So I mean, if you listen
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: to what people say, you're not really in a good spot.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: So it's the same group and we've just stuck together,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: and um, it's been fun and we were right here,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: I mean three games left. Um, we got a little
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: we got a little run we gotta make and we've
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: said that the last couple of weeks and we've stepped
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: up to the challenge and we got to do it
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: again on a short week. So this one short lived.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Gotta flush it by the morning and get ready for
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Trevor, obviously you go into the game with
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: tray Von Walker inactive that Cowboys come up with its
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: trouble digit lead. But like you've just said, this team
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: is accustomed to adversity anyways. But how much did Trevor
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Walker not playing enter into your mind if you're gonna
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: win despite him being out of the lineup, knowing that
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: your you guys can prove to people that you've got
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: a legitimate football team that's on the rise. Yeah, I mean,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I was today was his birthday. Actually, I don't know
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: if you guys knew that, but uh so I saw
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: him the training room and he's, you know, he's been
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: trying to go all week, like, you know, just do
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: whateverything you can to play because he wants to be
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: out there. And I saw him in there not suiting up,
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: so he wasn't gonna play us on today. And I
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, we got you. You know, we're gonna
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: get this one for you. So that was that was
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: what I told him and saw him after the game.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Game hug, I was like, I told you. So that's
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: just how this team is. It's awesome. Well and that
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: last question, okay, no problem, Thank you, Trevor. You mentioned
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: about going over five in October. When you see the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: script flip the way it has talking about the way
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: the season has gone, does it in any way make
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: you feel like this is a team of destiny at all?
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what that means. Uh, tough question. Um,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: I think it's no. I mean, no, I got you. Um.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: I think that it just shows it just shows what
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: this game is about. You know, you know, you're never
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: out of it, and you know Obviously, we put ourselves
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: We've been saying this for a while, put ourselves in
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: a hole with that little rough stretch we were on,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: but you're never out of it. And I think that's
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: the cool thing about this game is you get to see,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: you know, see yourselves fight through adversity, be resilient. Um
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: now we're a lot better for it, even today, just
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the way we won that game. When you win games
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: like this like we did in Baltimore too, and the
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Raiders all those things, when you win games like this,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it just builds so much trust in your group. And
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: when this comes up again, because it's gonna happen again,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we're gonna be down seven or fourteen again, and you
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: know there's no panic because we've we've been there. Literally,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: That's what we stay on this island is we've been
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: here before. That's what we said today. And uh So
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: to answer your question, I don't know. I mean, we
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta finish this year and we got three
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: games left to give ourselves a shot. And you know,
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: we're really only focusing on the Jets now, and that's
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: what you have to do, one game at a time
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and see where we're at. But We're stacking up pretty
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: nicely here at the end, so we gotta we gotta
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: keep going. Uh, Trevor, Uh, the past that got you
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: into field goal range to kick to tie the game up.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: Tell us a little about that play, because obviously getting
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that time out was an important thing. Um. I mean,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: how many different options were there too before you you know, snap, well,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you know, got the play. Yeah, it was an interesting
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: little series of events, you know, obviously, Evan, I mean
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: that's one of the players of the game getting out
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: of bounds there. Throw him a shallow on the hash
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and he runs all the way and somehow gets out
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: without getting tackled. Um. And then after that, you know,
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: we it was third down when we get up there
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: and they're they're bringing cover zero and then they called
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: a time out. You know, we were gonna we would
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: have to obviously they're bringing pressure, so you gotta kind
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of figure out what play you want to get in.
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: So I was kind of assessing that they call it
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: time out, gives us time. Then they check out of it,
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: they go out, they go single high, they went zone.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I thought it was man, so I got my my
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: man concept going on the other side, and it wasn't man,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: so I got got kind of stuck there, so I
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: scrambled and then Zay did a great job just making
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: himself available and we made the play. And I think
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: it was like right over a guy's hand, barely, barely
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: got It was just one of those one of those
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: games where had to make some plays like that. It
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: wasn't always pretty, and um, it's pretty crazy little sequence there.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Though I might go back to just you just referenced
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: it a little bit. But how big was the z
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: not they evan play to get out of bounds. I mean,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: just that awareness the situation, all awareness, the toughness just
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: it's it's kind of like you know, everybody asked me
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: last week when he had a huge game, it's the
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: coolest see him have a game with him like, yeah,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: but he's been he's been a great player for us
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: this whole season, and like I said, doesn't always showed
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: up on the stats. But even that play, I mean
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you could argue that helps us win the game. I mean,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: if he doesn't get out there, we burn the time out.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: There's not many players you can run to get ten
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: twelve yards and get out of bounds that the defense
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: doesn't know you're gonna do. Everybody runs the same stuff.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: So that's not a situation you want to be in
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: where you gotta get out of bounds you need ten
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: yards and getting field goal range you don't. I mean,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: you know, time to get it in bounds and clock
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: it and that let us call whatever we want to
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: call and then scrambled in hit a. So that changed
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: changed the game. So just little things like that. There's
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: so many players to day that you can look at
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: that if guys don't make we don't win. And it's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: it's cool to be, like I've said before, on this
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: side of it, when we make those plays and and win.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So it's cool. Hey, Trevor weighing the back well Brown
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: j c T News. Before I left my house this morning,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: my seven year old told me that Jags win would
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: make his Christmas. Um, what does it mean to you
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: that so many people of all ages, excuse me, find
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: joy in your success and the success with this team.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's it's one of the cooler things about what we do.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: You know. It's uh, you know, obviously, when things aren't
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: going well, you're under the microscope and it's not always great.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: But when you when you have days light today and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: you kind of do what we've been able to do
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. And um, just to see
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: the excitement. You know, people people spend their hard earned
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: money to come watch us play, to travel to watch
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: us play. Um, just to see the fans you know,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: be able to enjoy the wins with us too. When
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: we're able to do what we did today, it's I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: mean it's special. And like you said, there's kids, there's adults.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody is really you know, hanging their hat
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: on what we do on Sunday. And that's a that's
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a pretty cool position to be in. And um, it's
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: great when you can do something like we did today
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: and and and be able just to give them a
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: little bit of joy, you know. So it's awesome, Trevor.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: Can you just talk about walk a little, you know,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: coming off the bench, play left tackle and right tackle
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: against a guy like Michael Parsons and what does that
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: say about him? So a lot. I mean that's probably
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: if you ask anyone, that's that's probably the last thing
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: someone wants to do going into playing these guys is
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: flipped back and forth each tackle position, going against Mical
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: moving all over the place and that's not that's not
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: really what you want to do. But UM, for him,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: just he was he was pumping at the opportunity and
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: just ready to step up and play. And he's had
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: to do that before. Last year. You know, I think
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: Cam went out right before the game he played Buffalo
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: and we ended up beating Buffalo, and he had to
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: play the whole game at left tackle without really getting
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: reps in practice. So he's done that before, and you know,
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: I got a lot of trust in him, and um,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he's been he's been great force. Yep, thank you all.
