• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Trevor, can you start just with the uh, the safety.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Obviously you didn't have a lot of time there, But
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: if from your vantage point, what kind of broke down
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: on that play?
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, obviously just play where even if you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: don't have a ton of time, I gotta get rid
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: of it, you know, here in the end zone and
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: just hold on to it for a tick too long,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: trying to wait on it to develop downfield, and I
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: was trying to move away from a little interior guy
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: that kind of got through, and then I just it's
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: bad play by me, you know, I thought the old
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: line did a good job for most of the night
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: holding up against a really good pass rush, really good group. Yeah,
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: it just can't happen, whether you know, just live to
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: find another down. It's not there right away, get it
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: out of your hand. Second will be second down on
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: the two instead of taking that safety and basically ends
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: the game.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: Obviously our defense got a big stop, gives another shot,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: but you know, slim.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Chances, Trevor house thunder you by the last six offensive
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: performance in the last six quarters.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, we suck right now, So I don't.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Pretty shocked, you know, obviously this is and we had
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: a great off season, great training camp, and we got to.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Figure it out.
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: So we know we we we got a good group,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: we got good players, and we can be a good,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: really good offense. But clearly we're not. So everybody's gotta
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: take accountability. Oh accountability, look in the mirror and fix it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I gotta play better, and the leader of
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: this offense, it's on me.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: The white EU's gott play better. The linees gotta play better,
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: running backstt play better. We got to coach better. I mean,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: it's everybody, honestly, but you know we're standing around. We
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: gotta take we gotta take charts. We're standing around waiting
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: on somebody to make a play. Defense is playing their
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: ass off. Last two weeks. If if the team doesn't
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: score more than twenty points in US, we should win
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: every week. We can't finish in the red zone today.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Too many mistakes get out of the in and out,
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: the huddle communication wasn't good. I mean, it's just it's
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: a lot of things, and you know, fortunately and unfortunately
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: it's what pisses you off after the game. A lot
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: of it we control, but you know, we control it,
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: but we're not doing it right.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: So until we do it right, it's a it's a
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: different story.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: So, uh, we know the things I gotta work on
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: and we got to find we got to find a
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: rhythm as an offense.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Too many good players to perform like that really the
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: last two weeks travel.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Oh, I'm sorry, Uh, I was going to ask you
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: about that because obviously it's a rhythm and position where
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: once you get into a rhythm, everything kind of flows
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: it in. But how hard has it been to get
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: that kind of rhythm? And secondly, did Brown show you
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: anything differently defensively that maybe you didn't see on film before?
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Not?
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Really, this is a team that does what they do
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and this coordinator has been in the league for a
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: long time. He's been really good for a long time
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: and has had a bunch of good defenses, and they
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: their scheme is simple, and they're physical, and they play
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: fast and they diagnosed things quickly. And we had what
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: I thought was a good plan and obviously maybe it
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: wasn't a good plan. Who knows, didn't you know, we
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: didn't execute it grade either, So there's a lot of stuff.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: We got to go back to the drawing board and
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: look at and like I said, everybody just has to
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: look in the mirror and sent the time to start
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: getting defensive, you know, but we got to stand up
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and say it's on me.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: You know, I gotta fix it. Everybody's got to fix it.
• 3:16
  Speaker 5: Trevor.
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: It just seems like things were disjointed from the get go.
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: You guys had to use two timeouts in the first
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: half to avoid delay of games. You slammed the ball
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: in frustration on one of them. Anything you can point
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: to as to why it just took so long to
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: get into any kind of rhythm.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know, to be honest, seemed like, you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: I will say one of those was on me. You know,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: the clock was rolling, it was after a big play,
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: and we didn't have the urgency getting out of the
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: huddle and getting up to the line and seeing the
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: play clock allowing that when we took the first time out.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Then after that it's just communication, you know, like we're
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: getting in, getting in late, We're trying to figure it out.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: And you know, obviously Evan went down today before the game,
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: so something change. But it doesn't matter. There's no excuses.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: You got to perform and you got to be able
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to adjust and you know, no, no the plan, no
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: know the plays that are coming in, if it changes, personnels,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: if whatever changes. We got to get in faster. We
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: got to get out of huddle. This is a team,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Like I said, they're really good upfront. You want to
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: know where you're going protection wise, you have time to communicate.
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: You want to get out of the hudle quickly so
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you can communicate. And they do have some pressure stuff
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: that's really good that you have to be able to diagnose.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: And if you don't have time, it makes it really hard.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: And we played behind the clock way too much today,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: especially in the red zone. So we we got to
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: look at it and say is it me am I
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: am I not communicating good enough in the huddle? Is
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: are we not getting our substitutes in fast enough? Are
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: we not listening enough in the huddle? Are we not
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: tight enough? Are we breaking the huddle? And ask them
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: what we got like different things? I mean, it's it's
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: on all of us. We all have to look at
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: that and just put emphasis on communication. I mean it's
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: day one stuff that's simple stuff.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: You mentioned follow you mentioned earlier about about not having Evan,
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: What about Christian Kirk. It just seems like it is
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: for whatever reason, he hasn't been able to get going either.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's it's a great point, you know, And
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: that's something where there's opportunities where you know, I gotta
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: get him the ball, but we also we gotta get him
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the ball. We gotta make that emphasis. He's one of
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: our best players. You know, we got to keep him involved.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: And I'm not putting that on anyone in particular. There
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: was opportunities for him to get the ball today where
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I didn't get to him quick enough, or it didn't
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: find him, I went somewhere else with the ball or whatever.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: But we have to continue to give him the opportunities
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: to make plays because we've all seen how good he
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: is and he's not the only one. So we you know,
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: we gotta we can't hit the panic button, but we
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: had we had to have some real conversations, and we
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: got too good of a team to come out here
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: and perform two weeks.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: In a row like this.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: This is I mean, they're all these games are precious,
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: and you don't get him back, and we'rerow and two
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: to start the year, and it's not gonna get any easier.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: We had a lot of good teams in our schedule,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: so coming up one coming up this week, so we
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: better fix it quick. But you know, we can't hit
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the panic button at the same time. We have to
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: stay together, have stayed together.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: Just to piggyback off that part.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Is that balance, Trevor, between not hitting the panic button
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: but saying, hey, what we're doing right now isn't working
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: and is there a step to take to kind of
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: jump start this thing?
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's it's holding yourself and others accountable.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: Honestly.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you you know, we go back when
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: we go watch this game tomorrow, whenever we watch it,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure the schedule with the Monday night game.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: Whenever we go watch this game. We got to be
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: honest with ourselves.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: And if you don't like it, and if you're a
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: mistaken you don't like people calling it out and talking
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: about it, you need to find different job because this
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: isn't the one. You know, things matter, Little details matter,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and I'm talking to myself as much as anyone, so
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: I don't want it to be misconstrued, but that stuff matters,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: and you look at these every play, everyone had a
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: play today at least one that they can do their
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: job a lot better. And you look back at it
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: and all those plays add up and they affect the
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: game and you end up losing. And we played as
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: bad as we can play. And what was it eighteen
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: to thirteen or something. I mean we had we were
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: one for four in the red zone. If we score
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: one of those times, we win the game. I mean
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: it comes down to that. You know, we had the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: you know where we didn't get set on the one
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: player touchdown to Christian and then you look back at
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: the drive earlier in the first half, we had the
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: two timeouts, and then after that I think I missed
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Brian who was open, and then after that I had
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: to scramble and whatever.
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: So it's just little details.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: And we were in the red zone twice, close down
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the inside the five and didn't score, and it's that
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: can't it can't You can't do that in this league.
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: You got to take advantage of these opportunities.
• 7:32
  Speaker 5: So, yeah, Trevor, did you and Doug did some frustration
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: kind of boil over at one point. I think TV
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: cameras kind of caught you guys a little bit of
• 7:41
  Speaker 5: an animated conversation at one point.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: I don't I don't honestly remember when that was. No,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, just me and him talking to each other.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Is that what you're talking about. Yeah, I honestly don't remember.
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: I mean we have, We've had a lot of conversations,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you know, today, throughout the game, and it's stuff where
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're on the same page. So that's I mean,
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: that's the m my. I guess that's what i'd say there.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: We're on the same page art.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: Thanks for yeah, alright mm
