Press Pass | Trevor Lawrence on Playing in Week 10, Beathard Back in QB Room · Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it still a little sore today.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, shoot, not much different than other weeks, but
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: it's the point in the year. Yeah, still doing a
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: little soreness, so hopefully can get that flushed out throughout
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: the week.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: That's the goal.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I'm doing everything I can to be out there, you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: and the like it's in the past and I've gotten
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: banged up in the past, so I just try to
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: do everything I can during the week to prepare myself
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: to play Sunday and just put as much time as
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: possible into that and getting healthy. So that's that's the
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: way my mind is right now.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: Versus from last year.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: I mean everything everything's different, you know, you take all
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: things into consideration. Obviously, different injuries if it's thrown shoulder
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: or not, affect you differently. And how much you're able
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: to to limit things and how much you're able to
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: do it really does affect it. So I mean just
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: kinda kind of take everything's into consideration and really prepare
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: this week to go play and to get back healthy
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and all those things.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: Do you kick yourself for going ahead first there? When
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: you when you go back and look at it.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And I mean it's football, You're you're playing fast, you're reacting,
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: and obviously you can go back and look at every
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: everything that happens and and over analyze it, and it's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: it's just the game. It happens fast, and stuff happens.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: You know, it's a physical game, so not really, but
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: obviously you want to avoid avoid all the unnecessary hits
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: when you when you can.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: You learned last year about playing hurt and how much
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: time you need on the practice field to be your
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: best on Sunday.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I've learned a lot, you know, through my few
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: years of just dealing with injuries as the season goes on,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: and one, what's the best way to do that, how
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: to still prepare and get the right amount of work
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: in that you need to get And every injury is
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: different too, so there's sometimes you can get more work
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: in than other than other weeks. So I think all
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: those things have a factor in it. But yeah, I've
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: been through it, so I think I have some experience
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: and I know what what I felt like helped me
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: in the past. I know what I felt like I
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: maybe lacked or needed more of and from past experience too,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it's it's it's part of this business, part
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: of this game. Everybody has to find their own way
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: to work through injury and to get themselves ready to
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: play on Sunday.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: You think that this.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: Will basically come down how you feel on Friday.
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna put a day on it of when
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: I you know, when a decision will be made or
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: you know, not necessarily a timeline on that. I think
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just I want to be able to feel comfortable and
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: feel like I can play my best and and give
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: everything I need to help our team win. So I
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: think that's what the decision comes down to at the
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: end of the day. So that's where my mind is
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and and what I'm thinking about and what's best for
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: for the team obviously myself too, but ultimately for the team,
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: you know, and what gives us the best shot to
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: win on Sunday. So I think all those things play
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: a factor for sure.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: Great to have CJ back, obviously, that's that's my it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: my buddy, known him for her been here with me
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: for for most of my career, and.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: It's nice to have him back in the building.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: I know he's excited, and our whole room is is great, honestly,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: all the all the guys, John Rice Mack. We we
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: all fit together pretty well, so it's been it's been great.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: And then obviously adding him to that again is a
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: guy that I know and have experience with and does
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: a good job, and I think everybody fits in really seamlessly.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: What was the Minnesota defense? It's really good.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, just you know, they're different game plans for different
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: offenses they play and the way they adjust, and it
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: seems like they can they can get to so many
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: different things as a defense. They can give you a
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: lot of different presentations. Their pressure packages are pretty detailed
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of it. So just the ability,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I think that they can get to so
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: many different things and you're not sure what they're going
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: to do that game. Obviously, they have things that they've
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: done throughout the season that you can tell they like
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: to do and it's part of their defense. But beyond that,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: they have a lot of wrinkles. They stress the quarterback
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: for sure, with different protection things, They stress the O
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: line with different looks up front, and then they just
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: play really well together. You know, usually or a lot
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: of times when teams do that, there's some some holes
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in the back end, and of course with pressures there
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: always is, but it seems like they do a really
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: good job of knowing where the issues are, covering up
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: getting play really good in space there they're back in,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: does a good job of disguising coverages. I mean, there's
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a lot of things that they do really well. You
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: can tell they're well coached and they're all playing together.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You're already critical of yourself after the game.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Someday, I'm just curious when you went back and looked
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: at the what did you see that maybe you could
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: have improved on or what sort of went and wrong. Yeah,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: that's a good question. You know, that's something that I
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: heard a long time ago that I think is true. Really,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: no matter the situation, it's it's never as bad as
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you think. It's never as good as you think. When
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: you go back and watch the tape. You know, there's
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: been times where felt like a played great, felt like
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: we played great as an offense, and you go back
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: and watch it and you're like, we made some plays,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: but there's still some issues. And because it's never perfect,
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and then there's times where you're feeling real crappy after
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: a game and you go back and watch it, and
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of times it's really not as bad as
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: obviously there's plays out there. I think the biggest frustration
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: for me is there's plays out there that I know
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I can make, especially early in the game, just putting
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: us in position to get to get a rhythm, to
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: get going as an offense, to get some first downs,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: just to get some momentum that I felt like I
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: left out there, you know, obviously, just taking care of
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: the ball, and I think there's different situations that come
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: up and not trying to beat myself up on too much.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: Like things happen in games, and there's gonna be plays
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: that unfold and don't go your way.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: The ball bounces up in the air on.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: The one play at the end of half, and you know,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: there's plays like that that you can't control everything. But
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: there are plays at the end of the game where
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: I feel like the last one, maybe I could have
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: done something different, put the ball in a different location
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: or kind of moved on. And so there's things that
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you look back on and there's plays I want back
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: for sure. So you know, disappointing. But now we're here Wednesday,
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: getting ready for the vikings and excited for this challenge.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: It's a really good defense really good team, and you know,
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: we got to have a great week of prep to
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: go to go get a win this weekend.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: Like, how do you and your teammates, particularly as the
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: season gets late and things aren't going your way, stay
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: with the grind and keep keep going after it. But
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: when you're not getting the kind of results that you'll.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Want, and it's no, it's no different approach than if
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: you're if you're doing well. Honestly, I mean, I think
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's harder in the sense of the frustration piece. Obviously,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: you want the results and you want to be in
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: a different position, and you want to have more wins
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: than we have right now. But there's really nothing else
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: for us to do than to go to work. You know,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: we can't you can't just get frustrated and we have
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: a job to do at the end of the day.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: It's it's to to do everything we can do in
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: our power as players, as coaches, as.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: A team to go win on Sunday.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And you know, unfortunately we haven't gotten that result enough
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: this year, but there's still a lot of football left
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: and so we have to to keep doing that every
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: week to go win a game on Sunday against against
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: a good team, So you can't let the frustration creep
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: laid into the week and affect your preparation and affect
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: the amount of work you put into to go get
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: this one, because it doesn't get any easier in this league.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: Is every team he plays good, anybody can beat you.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: You know, it doesn't let up. So you have to
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: prepare the same way every week to give yourself a shot.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: So and I think we've done a good job of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: doing that, obviously, you know, not trying to to make
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: it sound like everything's going perfect.
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: Obviously it's not.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You know, we haven't gotten the wins we want, But
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: I think the team has been pretty resilient and the
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: way we prepare, the way we work.
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: I thought we've had good, hard weeks.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Of practice and we just got to carry it over
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and be a little bit cleaner on Sunday and find
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: a way to win.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: Washington scored on a play called Taylor's Swift a few
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: weeks ago, guns obviously famous with Philly Special. Do you
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: have any insight Do you have any input in naming
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: plays that you guys come up with?
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Uh? Not really.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I mean there's been some plays that come up where
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: you know, coaches can't think of a clever word that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that makes sense, that goes with the concept or something
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: and something. We'll have a say in some of that,
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: but usually they come up with the names and they
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: think of something and you know, we've had stuff in
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: for a while that's maybe it's special plays and something
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: like that. And so we've had stuff that's old that
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: comes back up and it's like it's been in for a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: few years. So no, I haven't had much input into
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: the names of some of those.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: You guys have a lot of historical names.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Historical names, no, yes, like what would be oh, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: mean former I guess former players.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: We we have a good mix of stuff, a lot
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: of former players. A lot of everything is related to something,
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: so it all ties back in.
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: And there's a lot that we had a lot. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: it's I'm trying to think of everything we got. We
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: got a lot in in the bag. That's one. Yes,
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: we do.
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: So I'm not going into all my plays. They're gonna
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: get me in trouble. All right, We're good, Thank y'all.
