• 0:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I felt good. I think that definitely helped
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: us out. Me being able to move, I mean in general,
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I mean that that just helps you as an offense
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: when I can escape when needed and extend plays. You know,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: there was one on fourth down where we decided to
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: go for it and because I was able to move
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: and get out of the pocket, Deernes did a good
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: job working the sideline. We got the conversion, big play there.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: So little things like that happened throughout the game. And
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: when you can move and feel good and you can
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: do all that stuff, it definitely gives you more options.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: And I think it was it was good for us today.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: How big of a day did did Calvin have today?
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And did you know going in that he could have
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: that type of day today?
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, And honestly, with the guys that we
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: have and the stuff like the plan every week, sometimes
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: it's hard to tell who's going to have the big week,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: we got stuff for everybody. But the type of player
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Calvin is is, you know, if we get the right
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: the right look, the right situation for certain plays, you
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: know that he can really take advantage of him. So
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: you're just you're kind of you're just you're kind of
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say hoping, because typically we call him at
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: the right time, when we get the right look, but
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: you're just hoping everything lines up and if it does,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: like it did the day for him, you know, he
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: had a great day. I mean, just some great catches,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: great separation on some of his routes. He did an
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: awesome job, some tough catches you know down the field,
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: just really helped open it up for us. And then
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: everybody else did an awesome job too when their number
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: was called. So I think it was a full, you know,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: team effort by everybody, but he definitely stepped up to
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: the plate when his number was called. He had a
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: great day.
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: Can you talk about the offensive line and how much
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: time you felt like you've had, and then also getting
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Zay Jones back, I know, not necessarily he had a
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: big day, but just having him out there to help
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: the other guys and maybe take some of the pressure
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: off Ridley and some of the other weapons.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the offensive line did an awesome job. I thought
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: protection was great. I mean I barely got touched, you
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: know in the pocketing. Obviously had some scrambles extended plays
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I did, But as far as in the pocket. I mean,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: those those guys did an awesome job, protected me all day,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: gave me time. The guys at a great job getting downfield,
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: creating separation so that when those things marry up, you
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: know it's it's gonna be it's gonna be a good
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: day for us because you get you let those guys
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: get time to get down the field work their routes.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: And I thought we did a great job taking advantage
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: of some of the looks that we had. So guys
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: up front can't speak enough on how how they did
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: the job they did, how how well they played, because
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: that's a really good front. It's really hard to run
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the ball against them. I thought we did an awesome job.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: Credit depressed too of just sticking with the run, and
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: those guys up front just kept sticking with it, kept
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: sticking with it. Obviously we had some some no gainers,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: some one one yard gainers or maybe a yard loss,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: but we just kept pounding it and we were able
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to spring a few and then that helped us with
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the play action and all that stuff as well. So
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I thought it was a great job really all the
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: way around. And then having Zay out there, I mean,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: it's huge. I think he just opens things up. His
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: speed obviously is a threat down the field. He's really smart,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: you know, I just know where he's gonna be. He
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: does a great job making plays when his numbers called.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Obviously today we're kind of getting him back, getting him
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: back going, and like you said, when anything crazy numbers were,
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: but just he has a real effect on this team
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: in this offense. When he's playing, he brings a lot
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: of energy. Just a guy that plays the game the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: right way, and it's great to have him back out there.
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: Over the last few games, when you weren't able to
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: move as well as you wanted, did that bother you?
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Frustrate you, annoy you just because you didn't maybe didn't
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: feel whole, I guess or complete?
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you definitely this time of year, it's
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: no one feels amazing. You don't feel like you did
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: first day of training camp, so you're always gonna be
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: dealing with things. But yeah, it's definitely a little frustrating
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: when you have things that are you feel like are
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: limiting you to whatever extent that may be. And then
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: just from the confident standpoint of having the confidence to
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: move and take off and do all the things that
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you typically how you play the game. You know, when
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: you feel like maybe you can't do some of that,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: it changes how you play the game. And that's I
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: think that's maybe more of the frustrating part. So it
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: felt good today to be able just to cut it loose,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously still try to protect myself. Took took
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: some hits that I probably didn't need to take outside
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: of the pocket that I probably could got down running.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: But it felt good just to go play and let
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the instincts take over when needed. So that was I
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: think that was a good thing today.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: Trevor, you were a pretty adamant last week that you
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: had zero concern about this offense bouncing back. How rewarding
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is it to actually bounce back after you said I
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: got no concerns about his bouncing back.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah it feels good. I wasn't am thinking about that,
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: but yeah, it's yeah. That was part of the shortest
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: answer I've ever given. So I was de rock asset.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: I believe so.
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: He needs to be humble.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: No, it's a good, good question, you know, you know,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: we got to be we need to as well sometimes,
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: so I thought it was great. You know, that's one
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: of the cleaner games. Offensively, We've played really complimentary offensively defensively,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: special teams. Seemed like we stayed on schedule, seemed like
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: we kept them on their heels. We we did a
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: great job of mixing up all the different you know, shots,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: getting out quick running the ball, movements, all that. I mean,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: I just it was it was really good.
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: And then on the first touchdown run do you recognize it?
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: It's Jeffrey Simmons coming at you. Do you even notice
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: it or is it just too fast.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Too not until Cam did a great job. I mean
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: he was blocking the end and I was waiting on
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the concept to develop, and I kind of started stepping
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: to the left and then I saw Cam kind of
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: throw the guy down, so I just escaped. And then
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you see you see their d lineman retracing from the inside.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: So when I saw that and outside, they were playing
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: some version of man. So they're kind of all chasing
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: those guys going inside. So you got a free lane
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: if you can get away from from the big guys
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: up there. And that he can move pretty good though.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: He's really a good athlete. He's a great, great player.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: But yeah, so I feel like I had had the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: advantage there for sure, Trevor.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: What do you feel it does for your confidence and
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: more importantly, the confidence of the offensive unit as a whole.
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: When you have five or six deep ball completions and
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: that doesn't even count the pi that Zay Jones drew
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: down that right sideline.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's I mean, that's the name of the game,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: is being explosive and efficient. You know, it's you gotta
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: have both. You can't just be explosive and you can't
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: only be efficient to where you don't have any explosive play.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: So that's the That is something that we try to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: create every week because we know how important it is.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: You know, you got to have big plays. You got
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: to be able to get chunks on teams and to
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: get that momentum and to get rolling. You got to
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: be able to throw the ball downfield. But you also
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: got to be efficient. You got to put yourself in
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: good situations. You know, you can't get behind the sticks,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: you can't get in third and longs all game, all
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: those all those things are important too. So you know
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: you got to find the best way to do those things.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: And I thought today it seemed like when we called
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the shots, we hit them or we got a p
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: I like you said, and when we didn't, we were
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: really efficient. We got the ball in play, took care
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: of the ball. I don't think, I guess no turnovers
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: to day, which was huge. So that was something that
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we needed to clean up more than anything, was turning
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: the ball over, and that was a good step in
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: the right direction as.
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: Much as you can take us behind the curtain, Trevor,
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: Since you mentioned about Press sticking with the run, what
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: were the conversations this week about making sure the running
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: backs were involved as many as possible, getting you involved
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: in the run game, and maybe even convincing Press that
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: the ball needed to be run more.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You know, I don't think he didn't need any convincing,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: you know, presses he did a great job. And every
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: week you want to get the run game going and
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you want to stick to it, and some weeks it
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: makes it more challenging, Like you look at last week
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: and just how bad we played all the way around.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: It really makes it hard because you're you're in a hole.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: Then you feel like you need to throw it and
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: you got to get chunks and you gotta get back
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in the game. So you know, it's it's harder to
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: do sometimes than it is to say, and obviously that's
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: your plan. But I just think that you know, all
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: the guys we really bought in this week. You know,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Tennessee gave us some issues when we played them here
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Offensively, we didn't really
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: have a great day. We didn't run the ball great,
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: miss some I missed some big throws, miss some stuff downfield.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: They gave us some fits. So I think we all
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: took accountability of that and realized what we needed to
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: do in the run game in order to play better
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: offensively against this group. Because it's like anything, like we said,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: if you can't get the run game going, it makes
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it really hard to do everything else. So that's where
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: it starts. And I thought, I thought the coaches and
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the players, we'd all did a great job with just
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: buying in and making it a.
• 7:58
  Speaker 6: Pointever, you shouldered a lot of blame last week so
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: that it was one of your worst games ever. Today
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: you're the first quarterback in team history to have two
• 8:04
  Speaker 6: passing and rushing touchdowns in the same game. Telltal pride
• 8:08
  Speaker 6: in that, how do you How do you feel about
• 8:09
  Speaker 6: your own personal response from what happened last week.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: It feels good. That's it. So I mean, no, I don't.
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it's it's good. Just end it there.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I mean yeah, I mean really, that's how I feel.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: I feel great about the work that we put in.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: It's it's you know, we work so hard during the
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: week and putting together a plan every week, and you know,
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: on the flip side, to do what we did last week,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: that's one of the worst feelings. And then this week
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: when when it does come together and you play clean
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: and you execute and you make the plays and you
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: see guys just you know, playing hard, playing great, making
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: these awesome catches, blocks, runs, it's just fun to watch
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: and it's fun to be a part of. And for myself, obviously,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: you like having success and you like playing well. I
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: feel like that's what I should do every week. So
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: it feels good to do that again and get back
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: on track. But you know, it's short lived this league.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't really matter. You know, we got
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: to go play next Sunday and put together a great
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: plan and go go beat those guys because that's a
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: big game. And it's they're just so short lived in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: this league. But I'm definitely feeling great about what we
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: did as a team today, and it was a big
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: It was a big game.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: There had been a narrative growing Richard Sherman, I think
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Bosa and even arden Key all talking about Trevor making
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: play quarterback. Right take away his first read you smile
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: if it got back to you and whether that was
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: you know a little bit of today was a I
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: can play quarterback.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, I'm not thinking about any of that stuff.
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: I could care less what those what those guys say.
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: To be honest, that's really my only response to that.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: You know, it doesn't matter. You know, if those guys
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: think I'm the best thing in the world, it doesn't
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: matter either. So that doesn't really matter. Love arden the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: former teammate, hurts that he said that, But now I
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: really don't. I don't care. You know, it's about how
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: you perform on Sunday, and you know it's not about
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: what other people say. But you want to change a narrative,
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: then change a narrative and play better. So, you know,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: I think there's things that obviously I take accountability on
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: and my main my main goal is to win though,
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: So you know, we're sitting at seven and three, we're
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: in a great spot. We got to keep this energy
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: and this attacking like we did today every week. We
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: got to finish the season. We got seven games left,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: a big one next week with Houston playing really good football.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: All care about winning, so I don't really care what
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: people people think I can or can't do.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: Trevor, Why are you guys so good at bouncing back
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: changing the narrative after a game like last week? I mean,
• 10:35
  Speaker 7: is it Doug what he does during the week, or
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: is it kind of the self run leadership that you
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: guys have in the locker room.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's all those things. I think everyone is.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Everyone is really syncd up. You know, we're all on
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: the same page. The communication is really great after wins
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: and losses. I think we're I think we're really accountable
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and that that makes a difference. We don't have guys
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: that shift blame. You know, we all understand when everyone
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: everyone has a part and wins, and everyone has a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: part and losses. It's never on one or a couple guys,
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think I think that we are
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: this team does a great job of understanding that and
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: has the right mindset and bouncing back after rough games
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: and we all just shoulder some of that blame and
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: just stick together. And I think that's something that we've
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: done a great job of. We've had some adversity, you know,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: going back to last couple of seasons, and we've been
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: good at responding and we got to keep doing that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: That's what the good teams do. You know. It's it's
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: hard to go undefeated in this league. I mean, there's
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: been what one team to do it. So you're gonna
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: have weeks where you don't play great and you gotta
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: find a way to be able to to turn the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: ship and play better than next week. Yeah, thank y'all.
