Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You hit Stroud on the second play I think from
- 0:02Speaker 1: scrimmage that they had and then obviously in the game
- 0:04Speaker 1: on the deflection. Just is where is this one ranked
- 0:06Speaker 1: for you in terms of getting the win over Houston
- 0:09Speaker 1: and how well you played throughout the entire game.
- 0:12Speaker 2: I mean, first and foremost, Man, my teammates, Man, we
- 0:15Speaker 2: battled our butts off today. We knew it was going
- 0:18Speaker 2: to be a ticket game that was going to be
- 0:20Speaker 2: on offense, defense, special teams, whoever, whoever was going to
- 0:23Speaker 2: be in that moment at the last second, we was
- 0:25Speaker 2: going to have to take it. So just you know,
- 0:27Speaker 2: I just want to give all credit to God and
- 0:29Speaker 2: my teammates. Man, they battled their butts off. And but
- 0:32Speaker 2: for me, Man, I just did my part, tried to
- 0:35Speaker 2: stay one player at the time and just you know,
- 0:37Speaker 2: do what I came for my team, and you know,
- 0:40Speaker 2: I saw opportunity, and yeah, we ended the game the
- 0:44Speaker 2: right way.
- 0:45Speaker 3: Josh, nine turnovers already forced through three games this season.
- 0:48Speaker 3: You had nine all last year here as coach Campanelli
- 0:52Speaker 3: brought some new stuff to the thing to the system,
- 0:54Speaker 3: or you guys just be able to make more plays.
- 0:56Speaker 2: I think it's a little bit of everything, the play calling,
- 0:59Speaker 2: the play calls see more aggressive. But then we also
- 1:03Speaker 2: had guys in the back end that that that does
- 1:05Speaker 2: you know, that does that, that's in the right spot,
- 1:07Speaker 2: that wants to be physical a point of contact, and
- 1:11Speaker 2: that just wants to play for each other. And then
- 1:13Speaker 2: once we all buy into what we're doing up front,
- 1:15Speaker 2: good things happen. Obviously, you know, good things are happening.
- 1:18Speaker 2: We trust each other, Russian coverage trust each other a lot.
- 1:21Speaker 2: Devin Lloyd is playing out of his mind right now,
- 1:23Speaker 2: and him and Foyer both so you know, if each
- 1:27Speaker 2: level guys are playing at a superstar level, you know
- 1:29Speaker 2: we'll be a tough team to beat.
- 1:31Speaker 4: Josh Coach Cohen said, you were a little emotional in
- 1:34Speaker 4: the locker room. Was that because of the history with
- 1:37Speaker 4: Houston or the way the defense is playing?
- 1:40Speaker 5: What what the emotional before or after the game? Victory?
- 1:43Speaker 2: Victory's got to win. That was a that was a
- 1:46Speaker 2: tough win. It's so again, it's so hard to win
- 1:48Speaker 2: in the National Football League. So and the mentality that
- 1:52Speaker 2: we wanted to come into this week was we got
- 1:53Speaker 2: to take it. Last week, we kind of let that
- 1:56Speaker 2: slip away and we didn't take it, and here was
- 1:59Speaker 2: another opportunity for.
- 2:00Speaker 5: Us to go go get it.
- 2:02Speaker 2: And so for us to go out there and to
- 2:04Speaker 2: prove that we are that type of team we do have.
- 2:06Speaker 2: You know, we're building something very special here. We got
- 2:08Speaker 2: to keep capitalizing off that. So, yes, I was very emotional,
- 2:13Speaker 2: huge win against a good team, nevertheless, but it's just
- 2:17Speaker 2: a great, you know, building point to how far can
- 2:20Speaker 2: we go and move on to next week?
- 2:22Speaker 6: Hey, Josh, can you talk a little bit more about that.
- 2:24Speaker 6: This this is the kind of game that you guys
- 2:26Speaker 6: have really struggled to win over the last two seasons,
- 2:29Speaker 6: and to get one. What does that do just mentally
- 2:32Speaker 6: for the confidence of this group going forward?
- 2:34Speaker 5: I mean it's huge.
- 2:35Speaker 7: Man.
- 2:35Speaker 2: We I feel like, you know, going into each game,
- 2:38Speaker 2: we expect to win. We put the work in every
- 2:41Speaker 2: single day, We trust the process, We trust each side
- 2:45Speaker 2: of the ball, offensively, defensively, special teams. We just trust
- 2:48Speaker 2: each other. And so to go out there and prove
- 2:51Speaker 2: that point that you know, we are a close knick
- 2:53Speaker 2: team and to go out there and fight for each
- 2:55Speaker 2: other and just get it, it's just a wonderful feeling.
- 2:59Speaker 2: And we're just gonna have to keep building about it,
- 3:01Speaker 2: keep building on it.
- 3:02Speaker 5: But next week is a different task and.
- 3:03Speaker 2: Different opportunity, and we got to go about it a
- 3:06Speaker 2: little bit different.
- 3:07Speaker 5: But just keep the main thing, the main thing.
- 3:09Speaker 6: Did you get the ball with your right hand or
- 3:11Speaker 6: your left hand?
- 3:12Speaker 5: My right hand?
- 3:13Speaker 8: I think I don't.
- 3:16Speaker 9: Know, Josh, congrats on the victory. You know last year
- 3:23Speaker 9: you guys lost to this team twice.
- 3:25Speaker 8: I mean, was it?
- 3:27Speaker 9: Is it a confidence matter this time around to do
- 3:30Speaker 9: that and to beat them? And secondly, take us through
- 3:34Speaker 9: the last drive they made a fourth down conversion to
- 3:36Speaker 9: keep the drive going? What's going through your mind through
- 3:42Speaker 9: the t you know, as as they're driving down the field,
- 3:45Speaker 9: And what kind of you know, calm do you have
- 3:47Speaker 9: during that?
- 3:49Speaker 2: So those are two different questions, So let me try
- 3:51Speaker 2: to remember the first one. The first one. I mean,
- 3:55Speaker 2: you know, last year was last year. Now, you know,
- 3:57Speaker 2: we're building a whole new different regime here. The guys
- 4:00Speaker 2: that we brought in, the guys that we drafted, the
- 4:02Speaker 2: guy you're about to talk to after this, Our guys
- 4:04Speaker 2: really bought into this organization and uh, you know, we
- 4:08Speaker 2: just play for each other. And again, like I just
- 4:10Speaker 2: told him, Man, this a week by week league it's
- 4:12Speaker 2: a take it league, and we're at that mindset of
- 4:14Speaker 2: taking every opportunity we can. Second question, being in that
- 4:19Speaker 2: situation was just like we gotta we gotta take it,
- 4:23Speaker 2: We gotta get it, no matter the situation.
- 4:25Speaker 5: They wasn't gonna score. That was that was our mentality.
- 4:29Speaker 5: You know, hold him. They not scorn, They can drive
- 4:32Speaker 5: the field whatever they want to do. They not scoring.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And you know, we just made a play and Antonio
- 4:39Speaker 2: was in the right spot, being where he's supposed to
- 4:41Speaker 2: be and took advantage of the opportunity.
- 4:44Speaker 5: And I can't be more.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Proud to him, prout for him, and uh, come back Monday,
- 4:49Speaker 2: watch this tape and move on with San France.
- 4:53Speaker 10: Hey, Josh, it's probably the third game in a row
- 4:54Speaker 10: where Jordan Lewis made a pretty big play, you know,
- 4:57Speaker 10: two of them that resulted in the wins. But just
- 5:00Speaker 10: what has he meant to this defense? And you talk
- 5:02Speaker 10: about confidence, you know, being able to have a guy
- 5:04Speaker 10: like him on the team, how has that helped the
- 5:06Speaker 10: confidence of the defense?
- 5:07Speaker 7: Man?
- 5:07Speaker 5: He's huge, man, I've learned a lot.
- 5:10Speaker 2: I gotta I gained a lot of respect for him
- 5:12Speaker 2: the first week of practice. The way he attacks it
- 5:15Speaker 2: the way he kind of pushes and motivates and challenges
- 5:17Speaker 2: everybody in his room and then outside the defense. And
- 5:21Speaker 2: for me is a guy that's been here and I
- 5:24Speaker 2: kind of carry myself the same way. To see that
- 5:26Speaker 2: and to see a guy make a lot of plays,
- 5:28Speaker 2: it just makes me want to become a better player.
- 5:30Speaker 2: So I think he just pushes the guys that were
- 5:32Speaker 2: at that point to become a better player.
- 5:34Speaker 5: And just you know, I.
- 5:36Speaker 2: Can't I'm not surprised now, Like it's like, you know,
- 5:39Speaker 2: I expect him to do these things, not because like
- 5:42Speaker 2: he is who he is, but because he does it
- 5:44Speaker 2: the right way and he challenges and he pushes and
- 5:46Speaker 2: he motivates.
- 5:47Speaker 5: A guy has to do it the right way as well.
- 5:49Speaker 5: So you know, I'm so happy for my head that
- 5:51Speaker 5: he's on our team.
- 5:52Speaker 2: I know he's glad and proud to be on our
- 5:54Speaker 2: team and to be Jacksonville Jaguar and create a culture
- 5:57Speaker 2: here that's you know, that we can build on and
- 5:59Speaker 2: you know, set a sting for ourselves.
- 6:01Speaker 11: Hey, Josh, seems like you guys got pressure pretty consistently
- 6:04Speaker 11: today with this performance. Just kind of say about the
- 6:06Speaker 11: guys you have up front and the unit. You guys
- 6:08Speaker 11: have kind of built up there.
- 6:09Speaker 2: I mean, I think coming into the week coach Camp
- 6:12Speaker 2: challenged up front. He said it was gonna be you know,
- 6:15Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna rush for and we're gonna drop
- 6:18Speaker 2: everybody else.
- 6:19Speaker 5: And so for us, it was just like we gotta
- 6:20Speaker 5: go hunt.
- 6:21Speaker 2: So I think just throwing out Wednesday practice, you know,
- 6:24Speaker 2: our mindset was we gotta go, We got to attack.
- 6:27Speaker 2: We got to prove to them and to prove to
- 6:29Speaker 2: everybody else in our defense that we can't take advantage
- 6:32Speaker 2: of games. Uh, So today was just you know, just
- 6:35Speaker 2: to carry over from Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and now
- 6:39Speaker 2: Sunday to where we can just go at it and
- 6:41Speaker 2: improve the point that we can just rush for and
- 6:44Speaker 2: we also can blitz because you see what when we blitzer,
- 6:46Speaker 2: we get turnedovers, we change up the secondary disguises. So
- 6:49Speaker 2: Camp has done a you know a great job on
- 6:51Speaker 2: listening to us up front, and uh he's calling the
- 6:54Speaker 2: heck of a game, and you know I wouldn't be
- 6:56Speaker 2: I love playing for him.
- 6:57Speaker 5: I think we all do too. So we got his back.
- 7:01Speaker 1: Seeing the reaction of beating Houston, a team that's had
- 7:05Speaker 1: the Jaguars number for a number of years.
- 7:08Speaker 5: It's a blessing.
- 7:09Speaker 7: We came out with a dub. We went in there,
- 7:11Speaker 7: did everything the coach just told us to do. Even
- 7:14Speaker 7: when we had a little set best we fall through it.
- 7:16Speaker 7: Adversally we fall through it. So I was pretty excited to,
- 7:18Speaker 7: you know, come out with a win.
- 7:20Speaker 1: And what did you make of josh heinz Allen's performance today?
- 7:23Speaker 8: He did great.
- 7:23Speaker 7: He did what he was supposed to do, helped the
- 7:25Speaker 7: team out. He did his job, and he was able
- 7:27Speaker 7: to capitalize on one of the big, big jobs he
- 7:30Speaker 7: did at the end of the game.
- 7:32Speaker 6: Chs. What's it like for you when you see a
- 7:35Speaker 6: guy who was struggling like Briant was today and then
- 7:37Speaker 6: to come up with the big play at the end
- 7:39Speaker 6: of the game. What can that do for him? And
- 7:41Speaker 6: what does it mean for you guys to kind of
- 7:43Speaker 6: see him come through in that moment.
- 7:45Speaker 7: It's just a confidence booster for all of the guys
- 7:46Speaker 7: in the room. You know, we see him as a leader.
- 7:48Speaker 7: You know, he had a thousand yard receiver. We expected
- 7:51Speaker 7: him to be on top of his game every game
- 7:52Speaker 7: and just to see him bounce back and block out
- 7:56Speaker 7: all the noise and just go do his job and
- 7:58Speaker 7: do what he's supposed to do. It means a lot
- 7:59Speaker 7: to the younger guys in a row.
- 8:02Speaker 6: This is the kind of game that this team hasn't
- 8:04Speaker 6: been able to really win the last two years, where
- 8:07Speaker 6: it's comes down to the end, there's one play here,
- 8:09Speaker 6: maye here or there. So did you hear guys in
- 8:12Speaker 6: there talking about that? And what kind of boost this
- 8:15Speaker 6: gives to the confidence overall?
- 8:17Speaker 7: No, we don't talk. We want to talk like that.
- 8:19Speaker 7: We go out there and try to win every game.
- 8:21Speaker 7: We go out there and do what we're supposed to
- 8:23Speaker 7: do to win every game. We won't talk like that.
- 8:24Speaker 7: We won't talk about what happened in the past. We
- 8:26Speaker 7: just president in the future and president right now.
- 8:34Speaker 1: How good was it to finally get loose in the
- 8:36Speaker 1: twenty one yard catch and run? How did that play
- 8:38Speaker 1: open up for you?
- 8:40Speaker 7: They call my number, they gave me the ball and
- 8:42Speaker 7: I deald. What I always do my job?
- 8:44Speaker 1: And what's it like being in the room with Jordan
- 8:46Speaker 1: Lewis And what does he bring to the secondary.
- 8:50Speaker 7: He's always focused, you know, always ready and always on
- 8:52Speaker 7: top of his game. So just having him in a
- 8:54Speaker 7: room you know, you got to do your job because
- 8:55Speaker 7: he gonna do his job. Man, that's what he expects.
- 8:57Speaker 7: He expects for all of us to do our job
- 8:59Speaker 7: because we know he go to do his.
- 9:02Speaker 12: Travis is an anthropology major. I'm curious to hear your
- 9:04Speaker 12: take on the culture of the Jacksonville Jaguars maybe compared
- 9:07Speaker 12: to the Colorado Buffaloes.
- 9:09Speaker 8: We just got work to do.
- 9:10Speaker 7: We just got to continue to win for them so
- 9:11Speaker 7: they can keep coming on and showing us, Shawn the
- 9:14Speaker 7: fan base.
- 9:15Speaker 13: Next play mentality, I think we had. There's a good
- 9:18Speaker 13: example of that the end of today's game. I mean,
- 9:19Speaker 13: the things didn't go our way for a lot of
- 9:21Speaker 13: the game offensively, and just find a way to make
- 9:23Speaker 13: the next play. They had a cover zero pressure that
- 9:27Speaker 13: you know, we were able to see and identify and
- 9:29Speaker 13: get to the right play, and Brian just did a
- 9:31Speaker 13: great job of winning and making the play. That's why
- 9:33Speaker 13: I told him on the sideline is just hey, stay
- 9:35Speaker 13: in it. You're gonna end up making the play to
- 9:36Speaker 13: set this one up for us to go win it.
- 9:38Speaker 8: So then it happened.
- 9:40Speaker 3: You alluded to a little bit there, but the whole
- 9:42Speaker 3: team kind of got infected with the drops he's there
- 9:44Speaker 3: during the course of the game as an offensive leader quarterback,
- 9:47Speaker 3: what is your responsibility that you feel that you want
- 9:49Speaker 3: to take on the sidelines in that situation with everybody.
- 9:52Speaker 13: Yeah, just keep encouraging, keep getting guys to just next
- 9:55Speaker 13: play mentality think that way, and you know it's not
- 9:57Speaker 13: all on them too. There was a lot of stuff that,
- 10:00Speaker 13: you know, I didn't play my best today, so there's
- 10:02Speaker 13: a lot of throws that you know, I went back
- 10:04Speaker 13: or I didn't put in the spot I wanted to,
- 10:06Speaker 13: and it's all of us together, but we it was
- 10:08Speaker 13: good to see us not let that dictate how we
- 10:11Speaker 13: were gonna finish the game and just find a way
- 10:13Speaker 13: to make a couple of plays at the end when
- 10:14Speaker 13: it mattered to you know, to go up. And then
- 10:17Speaker 13: obviously our defense can't say enough about how they just
- 10:21Speaker 13: kept fighting and had our back and the turnovers, the
- 10:23Speaker 13: big stops, I mean put them in, We put them
- 10:25Speaker 13: in some bad positions and they just kept making stops
- 10:27Speaker 13: and kept playing. You know, they never never looked at
- 10:30Speaker 13: us and we're like, what are you doing when they
- 10:32Speaker 13: when they easily could have We were playing pretty bad
- 10:34Speaker 13: there in the middle stretch of the game, So hats
- 10:37Speaker 13: off to them. Just it's a team you know, it's
- 10:39Speaker 13: a team game, and you find a way to win
- 10:40Speaker 13: and you fix the stuff that needs to be corrected.
- 10:43Speaker 8: But it's a lot a lot more fun when you win.
- 10:45Speaker 1: You and Josh Hainzellen have gone through a lot here.
- 10:47Speaker 1: What was it like seeing his performance and then walking
- 10:50Speaker 1: off the field, you know, kind of arm and arm
- 10:52Speaker 1: with him in a victory over Houston.
- 10:55Speaker 13: Yeah, it's just it's awesome a guy like you said,
- 10:58Speaker 13: I've been here with for going on five years now.
- 11:00Speaker 8: We've been through a lot together, a lot of upside
- 11:02Speaker 8: of downs.
- 11:03Speaker 13: To see our team just continue to come together and
- 11:06Speaker 13: that you know, family feeling like we're like we talk
- 11:09Speaker 13: about with our team and doing it for each other
- 11:10Speaker 13: and you can see that happening, and I think as
- 11:13Speaker 13: a team we feel that and just the you know,
- 11:15Speaker 13: being able to go and win games that aren't pretty
- 11:17Speaker 13: that's something that to be a really good team you
- 11:20Speaker 13: have to do.
- 11:21Speaker 8: And we did that today.
- 11:22Speaker 13: And you know, you obviously want to play better moving
- 11:24Speaker 13: forward as an offense, but to be able to go
- 11:27Speaker 13: win games when you don't play your best is important.
- 11:30Speaker 8: So that was a big step for us.
- 11:31Speaker 9: Today, Trevor, things just kind of looked not in sync
- 11:36Speaker 9: at times with you. Is it just a matter of mechanics?
- 11:39Speaker 9: Was it just people not being in the right spot?
- 11:42Speaker 9: You know, you mentioned the drops, He's a little bit.
- 11:45Speaker 8: I think it's a mixture of a lot of things.
- 11:47Speaker 13: You know, I think there was some times where you know,
- 11:49Speaker 13: on the interception I got greedy, just a dumb play
- 11:52Speaker 13: by me. You know, I got to just check it
- 11:53Speaker 13: down and we either punt or maybe we run for
- 11:56Speaker 13: the first down on the underneath it.
- 11:57Speaker 8: So that's just a really bad play by me.
- 11:59Speaker 13: And then a couple missus, just some accuracy stuff I
- 12:03Speaker 13: need to clean up, a couple you know, communication things,
- 12:06Speaker 13: a couple drops. Like I said, it's a mixture of
- 12:07Speaker 13: all the things. We all got to be better. Starts
- 12:09Speaker 13: with me as the quarterback. You know, I gotta be sharper,
- 12:11Speaker 13: gotta play better moving forward to give us a chance.
- 12:14Speaker 13: You know, you can't rely on our defense get three
- 12:15Speaker 13: turnovers every week and get pretty much every stop. You know,
- 12:18Speaker 13: we gotta go score some points and you know, control
- 12:20Speaker 13: the game a little bit.
- 12:21Speaker 8: Hey, Trevor, you.
- 12:22Speaker 10: Kind of alluded to it earlier, but just what kind
- 12:25Speaker 10: of confidence does a win like today where it's not
- 12:27Speaker 10: always pretty but.
- 12:29Speaker 5: You win anyway. What what? What?
- 12:31Speaker 10: What kind of confidence does that give the team.
- 12:33Speaker 8: A lot of confidence?
- 12:34Speaker 13: You know when when you have that feeling of you
- 12:35Speaker 13: don't have to play perfect to win. You just have
- 12:37Speaker 13: to continue to fight and play the next play and
- 12:40Speaker 13: find a way to make the plays when it matters,
- 12:42Speaker 13: and you don't know when that's going to be today.
- 12:44Speaker 13: You know, Fortunately it was at the end and we
- 12:46Speaker 13: were able to make those plays and that's when it.
- 12:48Speaker 8: Mattered and we needed them.
- 12:49Speaker 13: But on the flip side, it's not going to be
- 12:52Speaker 13: like that every week. Sometimes the mistakes get too much
- 12:55Speaker 13: to come back from and you got to play a
- 12:57Speaker 13: little cleaner throughout.
- 12:58Speaker 8: So it just it's the NFL. It's hard to win.
- 13:00Speaker 8: You enjoy all of them.
- 13:02Speaker 13: We're gonna enjoy this one and we're gonna move on
- 13:04Speaker 13: and go get ready for San Fran But man, it's
- 13:07Speaker 13: hard to win. So I'm proud of the team and
- 13:08Speaker 13: how we bounce back, and there's plenty to clean up,
- 13:10Speaker 13: but you know, we're gonna enjoy it.
- 13:13Speaker 11: With the defense playing the way it has three takeaways
- 13:15Speaker 11: in each game, Just how is that kind of supported
- 13:18Speaker 11: you just as a quarterback.
- 13:19Speaker 8: As an offense, it's huge.
- 13:20Speaker 13: I mean, you win the turnover margin, you're gonna statistically,
- 13:24Speaker 13: you're gonna win most of your game. So I think
- 13:25Speaker 13: for us as an offense, we have to continue speaking
- 13:27Speaker 13: to myself just to take care of the ball, and
- 13:30Speaker 13: you know, use that as an advantage for us. You know,
- 13:33Speaker 13: don't give them, don't give them freebies back when our
- 13:35Speaker 13: defense is doing a good job of getting turnovers. So
- 13:37Speaker 13: I got to continue to just sharpen up on that
- 13:39Speaker 13: and play better and take care of the ball. But yeah,
- 13:41Speaker 13: it's huge, and your defense can get turnovers, that's I mean,
- 13:44Speaker 13: that's the name of the game, is getting the ball
- 13:45Speaker 13: back in this league.
- 13:47Speaker 12: Trevor, what are some of the biggest changes that you've
- 13:49Speaker 12: seen for this team or from last season to this season,
- 13:51Speaker 12: anything that has really led to the success that you've
- 13:54Speaker 12: had so far.
- 13:57Speaker 13: You know, I think, like I said, just the that
- 14:00Speaker 13: feeling of coming together and fighting for each other. And
- 14:03Speaker 13: I mean, that's that's something that's hard to put your
- 14:05Speaker 13: finger on, but you can feel, you can feel it,
- 14:07Speaker 13: and and that we are coming together as a team.
- 14:10Speaker 13: So we got to continue to It's a long season.
- 14:12Speaker 13: There's gonna be some ebbs and flows of this season
- 14:14Speaker 13: and we got to continue to build on that. But man,
- 14:16Speaker 13: sitting in that locker room and on the sideline when
- 14:18Speaker 13: bad things happen and seeing how everyone comes together, we're
- 14:20Speaker 13: not dividing or divided.
- 14:23Speaker 8: You know, it's cool to see. So it makes you
- 14:25Speaker 8: feel good.
- 14:26Speaker 13: Like I said, if you can pull you know, you
- 14:28Speaker 13: can go out there and and and find a win
- 14:30Speaker 13: when you don't play great on offense, your defense has
- 14:32Speaker 13: your back and you find a way to go finish it.
- 14:33Speaker 8: It's it's a good feeling.
- 14:38Speaker 14: Yeah, So I just wanted to know what do you
- 14:40Speaker 14: think has changed? Obviously last year the last few times
- 14:45Speaker 14: you guys played it didn't go your way. So what
- 14:47Speaker 14: do you think has changed the most about the.
- 14:49Speaker 8: Team against Houston?
- 14:51Speaker 13: You're saying specifically, Yeah, I think a lot of things
- 14:55Speaker 13: have changed. Like I said today, I think just the
- 14:59Speaker 13: the readiness of our team being able to find a
- 15:01Speaker 13: way to finish the game. The toughness showed up. You know,
- 15:05Speaker 13: this is that's it's a really good team. That Houston's
- 15:06Speaker 13: a really good team, really good defense, they're physical. We
- 15:09Speaker 13: knew it was going to be a challenge for us,
- 15:10Speaker 13: and we never back down from it. You know, like
- 15:12Speaker 13: I said, didn't always go our way, but we kept
- 15:14Speaker 13: coming back and getting our opportunities, and we finally, you know,
- 15:17Speaker 13: hit the ones that mattered.
- 15:18Speaker 14: Trying to think we've I think we've touched a lot
- 15:21Speaker 14: on the negatives. But what are you the most proud
- 15:23Speaker 14: of after that game?
- 15:24Speaker 13: Just the just the toughness of our team being able
- 15:27Speaker 13: to go finish it. You know, when you find a
- 15:29Speaker 13: way to win games like that, and honestly sometimes feels
- 15:33Speaker 13: better than when everything goes right, just because it says
- 15:36Speaker 13: a lot about your team and being able to finish
- 15:38Speaker 13: and not you know, shell up when things aren't going well,
- 15:41Speaker 13: but being able to find.
- 15:41Speaker 8: A way to win it.
- 15:44Speaker 15: Did it feel like the run got away from you guys?
- 15:46Speaker 15: Did they really present the biggest challenge to running the
- 15:49Speaker 15: ball so far in three games? How would you evaluate
- 15:51Speaker 15: that part of the offense.
- 15:53Speaker 13: Yeah, you know, we'll have to watch it and kind
- 15:55Speaker 13: of see, but yeah, like I said, their physical group
- 15:58Speaker 13: on defense, they do a nice job. They can be
- 16:01Speaker 13: it can be a challenge to run the ball on them.
- 16:03Speaker 13: You know, it felt like they had a good scheme
- 16:05Speaker 13: to handle the run. We ran the ball so well in.
- 16:07Speaker 8: The first two weeks.
- 16:08Speaker 13: I felt like they obviously emphasized that and had a
- 16:11Speaker 13: good plan for us, And there were still some some
- 16:14Speaker 13: things there that I think that we can make some
- 16:15Speaker 13: corrections and do better and run the ball better. But
- 16:18Speaker 13: in the passing game, we had a lot of opportunities
- 16:20Speaker 13: and didn't take advantage of all those. So you know,
- 16:23Speaker 13: you're not gonna be able to always play the game
- 16:25Speaker 13: the way you want to every game you got to
- 16:27Speaker 13: you gotta adjust and adapt and find a way to
- 16:29Speaker 13: make those plays. I know, as a quarterback, we got
- 16:30Speaker 13: to do a better job of just distributing the ball
- 16:33Speaker 13: and staying on schedule.
- 16:34Speaker 8: You know, we got behind the chains a lot today.
- 16:35Speaker 8: So yeah, and then.
- 16:37Speaker 15: We saw a little bit of emotion from you when
- 16:39Speaker 15: Diami goes down, just emotionally. What does it mean to
- 16:42Speaker 15: beat the Houston Texans.
- 16:44Speaker 8: It means a lot. It means a lot.
- 16:46Speaker 13: I don't think it's a secret that we don't like
- 16:47Speaker 13: each other. So it was a fun game for us
- 16:50Speaker 13: and find a way.
- 16:51Speaker 8: To do it.
- 16:52Speaker 13: Like I said, we're gonna see him again. So that's
- 16:54Speaker 13: all I really have to say right now. But it
- 16:56Speaker 13: felt good as you guys can.
- 16:58Speaker 6: Tell you're scramble to get that first down today and
- 17:04Speaker 6: took a hit.
- 17:04Speaker 8: At the end of it.
- 17:05Speaker 6: Did that kind of feel good? Was that like a
- 17:07Speaker 6: mini payback? I guess in a.
- 17:08Speaker 13: Way, not necessarily, you know, I'm so. I was just
- 17:12Speaker 13: so locked into the moment of the game, like it
- 17:14Speaker 13: was such a big drive. You know, we had to
- 17:16Speaker 13: we had to go get points. We had to go
- 17:18Speaker 13: get points to win the game or tied up there,
- 17:20Speaker 13: So third down just making to play with my legs
- 17:22Speaker 13: and trying to not get two I guess emotional and
- 17:27Speaker 13: kind of get out of the right headspace there because
- 17:29Speaker 13: you got you see the other plays we had to
- 17:31Speaker 13: make to end up finishing the drive to go score.
- 17:33Speaker 13: We were only on the what minus forty there, Like
- 17:35Speaker 13: we still had some work to do to go win
- 17:37Speaker 13: the game. But yeah, it felt felt good to be
- 17:39Speaker 13: able to use my legs and make a play when
- 17:42Speaker 13: we needed it.
- 17:45Speaker 4: Same same thing about the chippiness. How much of that
- 17:47Speaker 4: was carryover from last year?
- 17:48Speaker 5: Do you think?
- 17:49Speaker 4: I mean the chipness on the sideline you had to
- 17:51Speaker 4: get pulled out of. I think Gardner Johnson there at
- 17:55Speaker 4: one point to how much of that was carry over
- 17:57Speaker 4: from last year.
- 17:57Speaker 5: How much is it?
- 17:58Speaker 4: How good is it that everybody seemed to have your back?
- 18:01Speaker 8: It's good, it's a good feeling. I think a little.
- 18:03Speaker 8: I don't.
- 18:03Speaker 13: I think it's some of it. Obviously, it's a division game.
- 18:06Speaker 13: Like I just said, we just we don't like each other.
- 18:08Speaker 13: We don't like any of our division opponents, so it's
- 18:11Speaker 13: not necessarily uncommon in that respect.
- 18:14Speaker 8: But yeah, I just we're not gonna get bullied. You know.
- 18:17Speaker 13: It's a team that, uh, that's that's what I feel
- 18:20Speaker 13: like they want to do, and not saying that's the wrong,
- 18:22Speaker 13: but that's their mindset and it's not gonna happen to
- 18:25Speaker 13: this team.
- 18:26Speaker 8: So it was it was fun to be able to.
- 18:28Speaker 13: Punch back and stand up in those moments where it's like,
- 18:31Speaker 13: all right, you want to throw that punch, like we're here.
- 18:34Speaker 8: You know.
- 18:34Speaker 4: Has this team been bullied way too often the last
- 18:38Speaker 4: several years.
- 18:39Speaker 13: I wouldn't put it that way, but I think that's
- 18:41Speaker 13: it's an emphasis for us of that we're gonna have
- 18:44Speaker 13: each other's back. For one, We're gonna play the right way.
- 18:46Speaker 13: You know, We're not gonna we're not gonna go past
- 18:48Speaker 13: the whistle. We're not gonna be dirty, but you know,
- 18:50Speaker 13: we got each other's back and no one's gonna bully
- 18:52Speaker 13: us and push us around. You know, that's a that's
- 18:53Speaker 13: a mindset for our team, and that's important. Thank y'all
- 18:57Speaker 13: appreciate it.
