  Speaker 1: Great, good to be back, good to see thanks for
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: your fourth radio right, Yeah, first get used to it.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm gonna start with that because come all the
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: way from Yeah, just gone.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: I guess with a little bit of the changing schedule
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: and schedule especially, it's been good obviously, you know, the
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: elements in Florida and hope everybody's safe back in Florida,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and like, no one can control that, so it adjust
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: and everything's good. You know, I thought it actually worked
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: out timing wise decent for us. You know, we got here,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: I don't know, eleven or twelve yesterday landed, So it's
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: been good. Obviously, that first day is an adjustment. You
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: kind of got to get used to the time change,
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: and you know that first night is big, just trying
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: to get on schedule. But feel pretty good today and
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: we'll feel even better tomorrow.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Hey Bob.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: For fans who are still learning about the sport and
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: taking it in their stride, talk to us about the
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: quarterback and wide receiver connection and why it's important to
• 0:53
  Speaker 4: be on the same page, in particular in today's defenses
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: where they'd like to give you different free and post looks.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's really important, you know, the game moves fast.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Especially think about it the pocket and the defenses you
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: play in the defensive lines. You know, you don't have
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that much time back there. No matter how good your
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: offensive line is, you're playing against really good players that
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: have good pass rushes and or defensive scheme. You up
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: and bring a lot of pressure. So the timing is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: so important, and that's a lot of what chemistry is.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: It's just the timing with your receivers, talking through every
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: different possible scenario and look that they could see. And
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: you know, the more that you can think the same,
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the more success you're gonna have because you can anticipate
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: and you can do things before they happen.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: That talk to me about unless you put up Brian
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: took the real deal.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: He's been great. You know, I've been impressed with just
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the way he carries himself.
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: You know, he's just hard worker, a quieter guy.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: But when it when it comes to playing, you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: he turns it on. And I've just been impressed with
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: you know, how quickly he's gotten better too. Every week
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: throughout the season and even going back to the off season.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: You know, he's learning the offense really quickly. Then, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: I think that's helped him now in the season be
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: able to play fast and he's done a great job,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and you know, I'm looking forward to building that connection
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: over the years, and he's had a heck of a
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: start to his career.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: Trevor, together with a couple of games in twenty two
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: the game against the Code seemed like one of the
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: best games in your career. How to see that to
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: yourself and how you kind of use that performance.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: And moving forward.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: I think just for all of us, you know, we
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: needed we needed to get a win. You know, we
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: obviously started the season a little rough and uh, not
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: the way you want to start. But for us last
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: week it was just take it one week at a time,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: just try to get one. You know, you can't go
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: back and get the other four that we missed out on,
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: but you can go get one this week. And that's
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: the same message going into this week in Chicago. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: the same thing is just try to do whatever you
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: can to win, win one more game, and then next
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: week we'll come and we'll figure it out then. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: just taking it one game at a time. I think
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: that helped myself, help the team play free and just
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: focus on one play at a time and do your job.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: And you know, I.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: Thought that was a good a good week last week
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: to do that, and we're gonna have to do it again.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: You know, this league, it moves quick and every week
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: is a challenge and you got to play well every
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: week to the last.
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: Year off back and lost to Denot back back games
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: in London with a one of four starts to fall
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: of season. Does that always give you? Is that something
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: you're looking to do again terms obviously you want to
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: win both games, but in terms of that confistence it
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: might give you for the rest of the season to
• 3:11
  Speaker 5: get back to that wins here and London head back
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: to Jacksonville for the rest.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: Of the season.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you just it's no secret you look
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: at where we're at as a team and we need
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to win, and we need to win most of the
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: rest of our games, and obviously you can't look ahead,
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: but just looking at where we're at, I mean just
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: being honest. So we understand where we're at as a
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: team and I think the best way to do that
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: though is to focus on one week at a time.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: So yeah, you know, we'd love to come away from
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: London to and o here, but First of all, we
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: got to go put our best foot forward and so
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: we can beat Chicago. You know, that's the plan on Sunday,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: and beyond that you can't worry about until that time
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: gets here. So I think just keeping ourselves in the moment,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: not trying to chase all these wins, just go one
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: week at a time is how you get there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Trevor Coach said, Evan looks pretty good for Sunday.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: What kind of boosts would that give you in the offense?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: It'd be great. Yeah, it'll be really good to get
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: him back out there. Obviously we have we have some
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: great chemistry and played with him the last you know,
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: going on three years now, so just to get him
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: back out there will be awesome.
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: I think just the element he brings really run game,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: pass game, getting the ball in his hands, letting him
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: work in space. I mean, he's just a great dynamic
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: player that changes the game. So I think having him
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: back is only going to help us. I think the
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: other guys did a great job of stepping up while
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he was out, but definitely will be good to get
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: him back.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Hopefully this week many try to do new stuff.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, London is I mean, as far as the
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: city goes, when we do have some time to go
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: there and explore a little bit, I mean, it's there's
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: so much to do, with so many great restaurants, and
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: so try to change it up a little bit. Haven't
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: got a chance to do anything yet. We just got
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: in but maybe next week we'll get a little bit
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: of time. But yeah, I like to change it up
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: and try to see everything. Obviously I've seen a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: of the staples, but as far as like food goes,
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I love just trying new restaurants here because there's some
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: great food.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: I know you're not a fan of the Lindlight you
• 4:57
  Speaker 4: said it yourself, but having a stadium named after you
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: if you're home opened despite the result in Trepidvent Stadium
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: have to be pretty cool.
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you know, I think it was obviously a
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: good spin off and play on words for the for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: the game. Definitely disappointing the result, you know, that was unfortunate.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: We weren't able to win that game. But you know,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: it's cool to be able to do things like that
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: in Jacksonville City. That means a lot to us that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: you know. Obviously, the team I got drafted to and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: it's it's changed over the past couple of years, and
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: it's exciting and I love the trajectory where we're headed.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: But you know, the biggest thing is the way to
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: get there is to keep winning games, and we need
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to do a little bit more of that. So I'm
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: excited for that challenge, and we just got to perform
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: on the field, and I think everything takes care of itself.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: I have the same question as a coach.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: I'll put it to you as well.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: It seems like you guys in London just have some
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: kind of chemistry of cracking the code and winning them games.
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: What do you think that's down to you, because you
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: seem to turn up win your life, especially when you're
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: over here.
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it's just it's different every year. You
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: got to prove it every year.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: And I know Chicago's are good team coming in here
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: and I'm sure they have a great plan and they're
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: rate a role for Sunday too, So you know, you
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: have to really attack it every year the same way
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: and not take anything for granted. But I just think
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: being over here, having our schedule down, understanding kind of
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: the travel deal and how you're gonna feel when you
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Land a little sluggish, and I think we've just ironed
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: out some of the possible issues just from being over
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: here so much, so maybe that's part of it. I
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: think we've just embraced it to at this point, like
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: we kind of enjoy the change of scenery and just being.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: Able to have an opportunity.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: This is a pretty unique opportunity to get to play
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: football games over here. I mean, not that many people
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: get to do it, so it's pretty cool and we've
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: embraced it and we enjoy it. And this place is beautiful,
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: love staying here at the Grove, So there's a lot
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of pluses to it. And but at the end of
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: the day, you know, we're here to win some games,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: so we keep that at the forefront. And most important thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: Do I remember you guys getting here late and then
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: Chicago has been here since Tuesday? How do you avoid
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the sluggish start for the game on Sunday?
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: Just got there and play.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You know, none of that matters when you stepped foot
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: on the field on Sunday. You just got to go play.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: And that was the travel arrangements that we chose. That's
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: kind of how we've always done it, and we have
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: trust and faith in our process and how we do it,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and obviously every team does it a little bit different.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: So but there's no excuses come Sunday. So we got
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: to put a good product out there and go out
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: there and play well.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: Facing another first overorld pick. Can you put some bods
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: on the pressure of being a number one pick and
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: how to see a couple with that?
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: He looks great, you know, obviously there's never gonna it's
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: never gonna be perfect. There's always gonna be some ups
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: and downs.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: I thought he's done a nice job. He's carried himself well.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Seems like he's leading the team really well, and they're
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: in a good spot. They have a really good team offense, defense,
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: all the way around. So I think he's doing a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: good job. It's just about learning every week. You know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: you're gonna learn something new. That's what this game is
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: about in general, not just as a rookie, but just
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: learning every week, taking it in stride, not losing your confidence,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: which seems like he has a lot of.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: So I think he's done a nice job.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, it's a it's a long year, and
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: obviously I've I've kept track of his his career and
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: rooting for him, not on Sunday necessarily, but past that,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: you know, as NFC guy, and root for him to
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: have success.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Besides on Sunday.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: If you can choose the next international NFL game location
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: in which country.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Would you choose? Live?
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: It's a good question, like anywhere of the ones that
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: they have been done already? Oh man, Uh, that's a
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: great question. I mean, it'd be cool to go to Italy.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: That'd be a fun one. Has that been done? I've
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: been done. It'd be a fun one. Yeah.
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: Do you still feel already feel like an old hand
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: or is everything.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: A little bit new for you? You said being my
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: fourth year and just yeah, I mean sorry coming over here, or.
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Just in general in general?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I've gotten obviously my routine have gotten
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: kind of things dialed in over the few years I've had.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: But every season is a new new journey, new experiences.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: You have a new team, There's a lot of different
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: things that change. So I think it's it's kind of both,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: to be honest, I feel more comfortable and and it's nice.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: This is my third year in this offense, which is
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: which feels good, and that's a that's an area that
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: is good to have some carryover and you know the offense,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: you know the system. It feels like you can play
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: faster as a quarterback. So but then again, you change
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: players every year and a lot of things change. So
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: it's all just you know, like the ebbs and flows
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: of this season and settling in and for our team
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: where we're at now, and this is kind of the
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: time to do that. And we feel like we got
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: a good start last week and we just want to
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: keep that going. But yeah, it's feel pretty comfortable going
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: on my fourth year, the last one. I know. Coach
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: has been complimentary of the offensive lines performance the last
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: two years and the group coming to get hurt in
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: two weeks and come together.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: What have you seen from from your perspective, how they've
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: been doing. They've done a great job.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: I mean last week it didn't even get hit besides
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: on a couple QB sneaks, so you know, not being
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: touched and you throw the ball that much in a game,
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: it's pretty rare. So I'm proud of that group up front.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: They've worked really hard and that's just a it's a
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: thankless position, you know. It's those guys don't get much
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: love so it's been cool to see to get the
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: questions about them and to be able to talk about
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: them and for everybody to love them up a little
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: bit because, I mean, the stuff that they do, not
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: a lot of people would want to do that. You know,
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: the dirty work and physical you're on the ground almost
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: every play, and you don't really get any attention unless
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you do something wrong. So you know, for those guys,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: I'm appreciative of them, and I know the sacrifices they make,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and they've done a heck of a job preparing every week.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: And yeah, the last two weeks they've done a great job,
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: but I think the whole season they've really protected well
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: and done some things, some really good things. So we
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: just got to keep building off of it. We got
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: to do it every week, and those guys know the
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: challenge in front of them and excited to do it again.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: All right, Thank y'all appreciate it.
