• 0:24
  Speaker 1: hard and plays to the end. And our guys, our
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: guys learned how to we're learning how to finish. And
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: really proud of our guys for the way they where
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: they know, hung in there today. H quarterbacks feel comfortable
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: when they get in protection and so my my hat's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: off the offensive line and and when when Cam went down,
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: we had to shuffle walk her out and Ez we're
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: coming in. And the proud of those two guys for
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: for taking on that role and and they did a
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: great job. And really the whole offensive line did a
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: great job, you know, keeping keeping Trevor, you know clean
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and upright, and and to have the type of day
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that that Trevor did today. And you know, he he
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just seems to get better each week. And you know,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: we'll take a look at this film and and and
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: make the corrections and continue to improve in the year.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I say it again, yeah, I mean obviously, you know,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: when he hit it, I wasn't sure, you know, if
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: it was going to make it or not. And you know,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: just I guess glad it didn't went on the road
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: in the division late season. That's kind of all the
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: elements you want for that, right exactly. You know, we
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: knew coming down here that this is uh, this crowd
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: was going to be energized, you know, for the way
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: they've been playing and rightfully so. Oh and the way
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: their quarterback has been playing and again rightfully so and
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: and we knew that coming here, and and I felt
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like our guys really handled for the most part, handled
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: the noise really well. The communication was good. And it's
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: a tough place to play when this when his fan
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: base is is jazzed up like they were today. It's hard,
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it's hard to hear, it's it's loud on the field.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: But but uh, great great road win for us to
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: come here and and then do what we did today.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: That's true. Good decision, I guess the last half, Yeah,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: it was. It was a really easy decision. I was
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: going for it the whole way. You know, you make
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: a play like that and you kind of got them
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: back on the ropes. And if you can, if you
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: can get the seven points there and get the ball
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: to start the second half, you know, those are those
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: are should be favorable opportunities. Uh, I'll just say this.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: You know, credit Houston guy made a great play defensively.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: He you know, he stopped Travis in the hole and
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and you know, just a great, great opportunity, a great
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: play by them, and and uh, but but I would
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: do that again now, the second all time franchise leader
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: in sacks. Just what did you think about his play?
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: And then obviously at the end there, how big were those?
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You know, a couple of sacks. You know, the D
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: line had to continue to fight through the whistle, and
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: the same with the defensive backs. I mean, you know
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: CJ Is he can extend plays. We saw it today,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: and his eyes are always down the field. He's looking
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: for the big play and and for our D line
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: to run all over the field. Sometimes it felt like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: to to make plays. It's just a credit to you know,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: to them, and you know, just the no quit mentality
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: and and Josh had a heck of the game you
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: know today and it's particularly here at the end. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: think it was goodly for you just the moments today
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: when you need it. In the third quarter, touchdown, big play,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: two points. Yeah. Really really just seems to get more
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: comfortable with the offense, get more comfortable with Trevor, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: you know, we've been able to move him around a
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: little bit more and and try to create some space
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: for him, and he can't. He come up big every
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: week and and you know, just something that you know,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: proud of him for, you know, the way he plays
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and and his toughness. There was a couple of a
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: couple of nice third downs in there and that we
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: converted with him and and really all the guys. But
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: it was another good performance by him today. I don't
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: know yet until we get back, until we do a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: full full write up mock up on him, and you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: know example, I'll let you probably know tomorrow
