  Speaker 1: Trevor, how good did it feel to hit those deep
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: shots today?
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: And can you walk us through the eighty five yard
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: to Brian? Felt good to connect on some of those
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: You know, it felt like we had a great plan
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: and we had some opportunities for those shots and you know,
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: kind of.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: All worked out. We got the right looks.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: The guys did a good job on the outside winning,
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: playing fast and obviously just putting the ball where it
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: needed to go. With Brian's Yeah, we just kind of
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: put their their zone defenders into buying there when they
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: chose wrong. We had Brian over the top, So something
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: that we had a good plan for and took advantage
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: of it. So, I mean, credit to him for finishing
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: the run. I don't know what he hit, like twenty
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: two something miles an hour, which is pretty crazy.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But yeah, so it was that was fun. Break away. Yeah,
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: there's not I mean, there's not that many guys like it.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously you see a few around the league
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: that are fast and can break away and if they
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: get in the open field, there's really nobody that's gonna
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: catch them on the other side of the ball.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: He's definitely one of those guys.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: So the more we can find opportunities to get him
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the ball in those situations, you know we're gonna score
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: a lot of points with him. So but I thought,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: beyond that, just being in the right spot, doing the
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: right thing he did. He did a nice job today.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I thought we played the game on schedule. We weren't perfect.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You're never gonna be perfect in this league. So obviously
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: there's still some stuff to learn from and there's a
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: couple of miscues out there that'll be good to turn
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: on the tape and get better from it. But I
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: thought he did a great job of just you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: playing smart, being the right spot.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Trevor, Trevor, congrats on the win. Welcome back to the
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: win column, app But most importantly, your offensive line today
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: kept you clean. No sacks. It it's a team that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: had averaged three sacks a game coming in. Take us
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: through as a quarterback, because you've been a quarterback at
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: all levels college before that in high school, how long
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: does it take usually for an offensive line and a
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: quarterback to kind of know one another and what the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: quarterback is going to do and what the line knows
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: what the quarterback is gonna do.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: I think it's it depends on the year that the
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: amount of new players you have. You know, really it's
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: mainly Mitch is the only new guy up front, but
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: center is important position. You know, they run the run
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: the ship up there. A lot of communication, a lot
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: goes into that position. It's a tough, tough position. So
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: I think he's done a great job. I think the guys,
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: honestly this whole year, have done a good job protecting me.
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: This is I mean, it's the NFL. It's never gonna
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: be perfect, and you're gonna get hit sometimes playing quarterback
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: in this league, that happens. You know, there's really good
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: defensive linemen and linebackers and all those other guys on
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: the other side of the ball that are trying to
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: hit you. So but today it didn't. That didn't happen
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: at all. I mean, I don't really remember. I don't
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: think I even got hit really, so just hats off
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: of those guys doesn't surprise me at all. But it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: cool to see it happen and to be back there
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: and just you know, have the confidence of the group
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: in front of you that they're that they're gonna do
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: their job well and keep you clean, and you have
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: the time to distribute the ball and get it down feel,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: and we have the shots. So it takes all that
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: to be able to pull off some of the plays
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: we did today because you got to have the time
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: to do it. You know, the guys that get open
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: on the outside, you gotta make the throw. You know,
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of things to go into it. So
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I thought everybody just did a good job of focusing
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on their part.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: Sure, when you're fighting through the struggles the way you
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: guys have and where you particularly have been the last
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: month or so, and you have a performance like that
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: out there, is that the weight off your shoulders a
• 3:25
  Speaker 4: cathartic thing for you personally too.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: I think it's always it's always good to use these
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: games to build confidence.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, yeah, it does.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: It gives you confidence moving forward, I think for myself
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: and for the team, just even the way the game went,
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: obviously we were in control and then it got kind
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: of crazy at the end. I thought it was good
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: for us to continue to deal with the adversity and
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: to find a way to finish when things didn't go perfect.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: You know, then the game didn't go perfect, but we
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: found a way to get the ball in position and
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: have a shot for a game winning field goal, and
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Cam made it. So I think that's gonna make us
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: better as a team too. That it was even the
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: first win of the season was tough and it came
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: down to the very end and we had to earn it,
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: you know. So I think all that is going to
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: build confidence moving forward. I think that's what this team's
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: done a good job of. Obviously a rough start, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: we've kept our confidence. We've kept swinging and like we
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: said last week, we missed a couple of punches last
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: week and had some opportunities, but we knew if we
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: just kept plugging away we'd hit some.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: So I think that's just that's what it is.
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: You know.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: It's no special and crazy formula. It's just continuing to
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: do your job and trust the guys next to you
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: and got some momentum now and we got to take
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: it a run with it and just try to go
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: get one more this week.
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: Trevor Cooch had mentioned during the course of the week
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: that it seemed to him like the guys in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: locker room had heard some of the outside noise and
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: criticism that had taken it to heart and really gotten
• 4:42
  Speaker 6: themselves motivated with that. Was that something that was that
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: you noticed and didn't come into play for you at
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: all since you went up with the career high in yards.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: This week now, I mean not, I can only speak
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: for myself. I mean maybe some other guys use that
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: I didn't feel like I necessarily did. Kind of been
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: just hunkering down and not looking or listening to anything, honestly,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and I'm gonna continue to do that even when you
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: have a good game. I mean, it's that stuff doesn't matter.
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: You know, you can't listen to the good or the bad.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: So I do think stuff that does get through, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: I'm sure there's a lot of questions like what's going
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: on with the Jacks?
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: What's this? What's that?
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: After four weeks? And good, you know, we'll use that
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: as a chip on our shoulder and have that us
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: against the world mentality and bring us closer together. And
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: I think that that's what good teams do. So but
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: I also think you don't want to let that stuff
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: creep in because it's really about the the guys in
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: that building and the work we put in, and you know,
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: it's I'm just proud of the group it is a
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: great day.
• 5:38
  Speaker 7: So that that nine game skid everybody's kept talking about
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: for you personally as a starter that never got in
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: your head or seemed to know. Now, does it feel
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: good today to maybe to get one for the first time?
• 5:52
  Speaker 7: You know, it feels in a minute.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's good to win.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels that's why you play the game. I mean,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: it feels great to win. It feels good just to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: this feels good for some of the hard work to
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: pay off. You know, like I said, first four weeks
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: not going our way. It is tough, and it's it's
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: it's training, honestly, when you put the time in, you
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: put the work in, and you're not getting the results
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: for various different reasons. So it feels good today. And
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: like I said, it wasn't perfect. There's plenty of mistakes
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: out there. Had had some myself. I mean, it's just
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: you just keep playing. You play sixty minutes. So it's
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: cool when that all clicks and pays off and you
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: get a chance to win a game like that. And
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: but it's just one game. You know, we can't flip
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: out over one game. But we are going to celebrate
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: it because we've been working hard, and it's big for
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: us and we're gonna use it to propel us.
• 6:32
  Speaker 7: And then CBS said early in the game that you
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: and Gabe kind of got into it and you would
• 6:37
  Speaker 7: maybe even throw a tablet. Was there was there an
• 6:39
  Speaker 7: exchange over there on the sideline.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Got it down firmly. Now, yeah, we were set it
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: down roughly, Yeah, okay, exactly loosely. Yeah, I mean we
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: were just it happens in this game.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, if you people that have played it, no,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: people that haven't probably don't really understand all the emotions
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: that go into it. And there was some frustration. We
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: had a little back and forth and cleared it up.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: That's all it is, you know. I think that's what
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: stuff like that's important. And I love when stuff like
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that happens. You confront issues and hey, if I'm pissed
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: about something, he's pissed about something, let's talk about it
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: and move on.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: And we did a great job of that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: You know, Gabe's always good at communicating, so got on
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: the same page quick and it was good last one.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: And then Trevor, the Colts have talked about them not
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: winning here in a while, like it matters to them,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: does that shriek, extending that streak.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Does that ever matter to you, guys? Or is it
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: really just another game?
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: I mean it matters because you want to it's a
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: division game, and it's a home game and just all
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: those things. You know, it's I want to keep that
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: going as long as possible every year. So it's not
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: something that we talk about. But yeah, I mean, so yeah,
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: it doesn't matter. It's a division game and we want
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: to keep that streak going as long as we can.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: But it's not something that we talk about all man,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: it's been a long time. As they beat us here,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: that's not really doesn't help you this year. You know,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you gotta win. You got to find a way to
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: win this one. So yeah, we don't really talk about
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: as a team.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Trevor. I'm sure your mindset it's not over till it's over.
• 8:07
  Speaker 5: But you're up fourteen late? Are you thinking finally here
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: we go and then all of a sudden you have
• 8:12
  Speaker 5: the defensive breakdown. You got to go out there pick
• 8:15
  Speaker 5: up three first downs to get to the game winning
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: field goal. What is it a turn it on, turn
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: it off type of situation or do you stay up
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: the entire time?
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I think you got to stay up the entire time,
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: and you have to stay aggressive.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: I've been a part of a lot of games now
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: in my career and ones where we've been able to
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: do something like that and finish, and I feel like
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: that's when we stay aggressive. Stay aggressive, We stay in
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: the moment, and we don't worry about what is going on.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: The other side of the ball. That's not our job.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Our job is when we get the ball, put ourselves
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: in position to go score. And whether it's we're up
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: fourteen and the defense is a stop and we get
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: to go up twenty one and put the game away,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: or that other team's good too, they battle and they
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: get back in it and they score a couple of times.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: If that's to go down the field and kick a
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: game winning field goal, like, that's our job. So I
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: think we did a great job of staying in the
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: moment and just trying to stay aggressive and keep attacking.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: You know, some of those situations, like.
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: The first drive or the drive before the last one,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: you know, we were up seven and there's like four
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: and a half minutes left, and party is like, you
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: want to be able to run the clock, stay in
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: bounce hopefully get some first downs, choose the clock and
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: you know, maybe score, get a field, go whatever it is.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: But you want to use the clock, but you also
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: have to stay aggressive.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: You can't just go, you know, And we ended up
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: going three and out there, and I thought we did
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: a good job of staying aggressive, and we just didn't
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: make the plays. I missed one throw. I could have
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: put it more outside the gabe. But that situation, you know,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: you can't just shell up and try not to lose
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: the game. You gotta go win it. And I thought
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: that honestly, the staff did a great job, pressed a
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: great job trusting us, trusting me. Put the game in
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: my hands at the end. So it was It was
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: fun and it's cool when we execute and it pays off.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: Thank y'all appreciate it.
