  Speaker 1: Trevor, Liam spoke earlier about how the Rams game last
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: year was like a wake-up call to the team, the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: loss you had at Wembley. What did you learn from
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: that game against the Rams 12 months ago?
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it definitely was, you know, as a
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: team we played much better football moving forward after that.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: I think, you know, hopefully it doesn't happen in your season,
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: but a lot of times you have one game like
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: that where you just, for some reason it seems like
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: nothing goes your way and you've got to, reassess and
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: reevaluate moving forward like all right we got to you
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: know either change some things or simplify or just play
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: better in general come with you know the right attitude
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: all those things it was kind of a combination of
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: everything on that day for whatever reason and a lot
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of times if you got the right group it can
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: really reset you and you can refocus and be better
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: moving forward so I thought we used that we used
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: it well last year to make us better you know
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: this year obviously feel like we're We're ready to go.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Not going to have a game like that and we're
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: excited for the opportunity with Philly coming in Sunday.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Trevor, you've been coming to London throughout your career and
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: in a lot of ways fans over here probably feel
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: like they've watched you grow up as a quarterback. Highs,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: lows and all the changes in between. But when you
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: look at the quarterback who first came to the UK
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: for a game compared to the quarterback standing in front
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: of us now, what have you learned about yourself that
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: has nothing to do with football?
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: That's a good question. I've learned a lot. Life has
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: changed a lot.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: I've been through a lot of, you know, great things,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: some challenging things, you know, career wise and just personally
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and become a dad, all those, all.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Those different things. A lot of cool. Thank you. Appreciate it.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of cool things have happened. You know, I've
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: changed a lot as a, as a player. I've learned
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: a lot in life. Just, it's crazy. Six years ago,
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: we saw a couple of clips from that Miami game,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: my rookie year here. And it's crazy to think how
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: much has changed and, and how many things are kind
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: of the same still too. So, I'm still here at
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: the Grove talking to you guys on a Friday. So
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: some things haven't changed, but it's been fun. Trevor Bischoff,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: 17 carries in each of the last two games for
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: a career high.
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: How much of a group can you see him getting into?
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he's been great.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: I think every week he's gotten better and better, and
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: he's ran it better and better and seen it. I mean,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: even last week, look at how good he played. One
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: big run was called back and a couple other ones
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: that we should have had. so I think he's in
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: a great spot. I think he's a guy that seems
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: like he's getting more and more comfortable and in a
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: rhythm the more touches he gets, so obviously that's been
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: a big part of our game plan is to give
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: him opportunities with the ball. I think our group up
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: front has done a really nice job moving people and
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: making lanes for him so he can get on the
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: edge and even inside with him and Chris. I mean,
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: all of our backs have done a good job, but yeah,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Basial's obviously come along and he's playing really well.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Trevor, obviously Park Washington's had a great start to the season.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And you seem to be building a really good chemistry together.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: How proud are you of how he's playing so far
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and the relationship you're developing?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's been awesome. You know, he's a guy that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: I've played with now for a few years. So I
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: feel like our chemistry has grown a lot. We've spent
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: a lot of time together in OTAs and the offseason
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: and training camp. We've just talked through so many different
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: looks and routes and different things I'm looking for. So
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: I really feel like we're on the same page and
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: all those reps have accumulated. And you see now some
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: of the plays we've been able to make just because
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: we know what each other's thinking in different situations. So
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: I think that's a huge underrated part of the relationship
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: between quarterback and receiver. And we definitely have that. So
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: just got to keep building on it. Obviously he's made
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: some big plays for us and the guys, the other
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: guys have as well. And I think that's the good
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: thing about our offense is it's not just one guy.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of guys that can, we can attack
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: the defense with, and that can hurt the defense.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: So if they want to take someone away, we have
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: other options.
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: Trevor, I had a similar question to, to George, but
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: looking on the field, when, when you, When you look
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: back at your experiences in London playing for the past
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: five years, what jumps out to you in terms of
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: the games and your experiences in the games? And kind
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: of generally, what are your thoughts? What are your feelings
• 3:57
  Speaker 5: about playing overseas and playing so often in London?
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think there's a lot of great
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: things about it.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The experience of just being over here and doing it
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: with the team and have an opportunity now. We're here
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: for 10 days. Family comes out and you get to
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: do some cool things and just see new places and
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: I think the experience and the team-building part of it
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: is really cool, getting to be with the guys somewhere else.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: It kind of brings you closer together. I mean, there's
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: some challenges, too.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, I think the travel can be a little
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: bit tough, especially on a day or two like today,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: coming in, and obviously Phillies coming in as well. It's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: just such a quick turnaround. That can be a challenge
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: for the game Sunday. I think we've done it so
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: much now. We're used to it, and we know what
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to expect. We know how we're going to feel. So
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: getting here today, it's not as big a deal as
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: it was six years ago, my first time coming out here.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: where you don't feel great after the flight, and now
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: you're just kind of used to it, and you know
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: you're going to feel a lot better tomorrow. So I
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: think there's a lot of great things, though. The experience,
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: the game itself, the atmosphere, the stadium's full, the fans
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: are excited.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I think it's cool to see.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Football in a different country and to see people rally
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: around it and that are at the game and that
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: are excited and into it, because it's such an American sport.
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: To see it in other places, I think, is really,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: really cool. As players, it gives you good perspective, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I think that part of it's really cool.
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: There's been more than one instance over the last few
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: years when you've been coming into London and it's almost
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: been kind of seen as a reset, maybe you've not
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: started the season the way.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: That you wanted to start.
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: This season obviously different, started well.
• 5:30
  Speaker 6: Does it feel different being here in London, knowing you've
• 5:35
  Speaker 6: had a good season and you want to continue that?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, like you said, it can be used
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: for different reasons.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: You can find something that, you know, whether if you're
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: not playing great and you kind of want to get
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: back on track or, you know, we've played some pretty
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: good ball, definitely have our best ball in front of
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: us still. But I think with this team that's been
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: cool is every week we know that we just have
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: to restart and reset regardless of what happened the week before. So,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: you know, won a close game in Cincinnati last week,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter. We've got to reset to Philly. And now
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: obviously coming overseas to play a game, None of that matters.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: We have to prepare the same way and put together
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: a great plan to give ourselves a chance to go
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: win the game Sunday. And I think that we've done
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that to this point. Still got another day to prepare.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: But as much as things change and you're playing somewhere
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: else and your schedule's different, we try to keep everything
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: else the same so we can just focus on going
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: and winning the game on Sunday.
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: And I think that's what our focus has been all week.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Trevor, your defense has been really effective at creating turnovers.
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: Just wondering with how well you're playing in the quarterback position,
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: How much freedom does that give you when you're playing
• 6:36
  Speaker 6: the position knowing that obviously your teammates on the other
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: side can make those big plays and.
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: Put you in a good spot?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it gives me a lot of freedom, I think,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: just to go out there and play confident and just
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: be myself. But I also think in a lot of
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: ways I don't have to force things because you can rely.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: I feel strongly about if we can win the turnover margin,
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: we can win the game. We're going to play good
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: enough on offense. We're going to make enough plays.
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: We're going to score.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: If we can take care of the ball you know,
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the way our defense has been playing is we're typically
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: getting at least one turnover, so I think that's another
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: part of it, just having that understanding as a quarterback where,
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: like last week, I didn't think there was any crazy
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: plays down the field that we necessarily hit, but we
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: kept the ball moving forward, scored in the red zone,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: we got some opportunities, had some big third down conversions,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: and just took care of the ball, and we ended
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: up being able to win that game because our defense
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: got a couple turnovers, so I think that was a
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: great example, and continuing to move forward with that mindset
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: also while attacking and finding some of these big plays.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: But our defense is doing a great job.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Trevor, you mentioned obviously being back here in the Grove again.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: How important is it for the consistency to know that
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: when you are coming over here, where you'll be staying,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: like the travel arrangements, so you've not got those additional
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: worries that, say, a team that doesn't come over here
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: as often has?
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: No, it's a huge part of it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: I think that is one thing about as challenging as
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: the travel can be. Staying here, this place is awesome.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: The food is great. The staff, the hotel is incredible.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, the staff takes awesome care of us. We've
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: gotten to know them pretty well over the years. And
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: guys actually do look forward to it. Obviously, it's a
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: big change and it's kind of weird for your schedule.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: But guys look forward to being here just because the
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: people are so great over here and take care of us.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: And we know what to expect. It's kind of like
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: a second home, I guess. We have somewhere that we
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: know we go pretty much every year. So I think
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: it's been really cool.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: Good? Thanks, guys. Appreciate it.
