Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Trivor can you kind of walk us through that last
- 0:02Speaker 1: drive that you know resulted in the touchdown to Evan
- 0:05Speaker 1: Just obviously having so many guys out, so many different
- 0:07Speaker 1: guys in playing with two tight ends, can you just
- 0:09Speaker 1: kind of walk us through it.
- 0:12Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, can't even remember all the plays that kind
- 0:14Speaker 2: of led to us scoring. Another one we scored on
- 0:16Speaker 2: and sorry, Jean's coming in. Another one we scored on.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Evan did a great job with line of scrimmage one
- 0:25Speaker 2: early and then just went up and made a great play.
- 0:27Speaker 2: But yeah, tough day really on all levels. Injuries didn't
- 0:34Speaker 2: win the game. It's unfortunate. So uh, definitely bummed and
- 0:40Speaker 2: hate it for, you know, some of the guys and
- 0:42Speaker 2: we'll see I don't know, you know, it's not my
- 0:44Speaker 2: job to do injury stuff, but you know, hopefully we
- 0:47Speaker 2: can get them back soon. And just hate it for
- 0:50Speaker 2: guys that are battling through stuff and seemed like just
- 0:53Speaker 2: guys kept going down today. It's it's part of the game,
- 0:55Speaker 2: but it sucks when it all kind of happens in
- 0:57Speaker 2: the same day. So just praying for those guys that
- 0:59Speaker 2: get quick and can heal up quick. So we'll see
- 1:03Speaker 2: but yeah, obviously it's twelve personnel and you're in no huddle.
- 1:07Speaker 2: It's not something you really practice much. Usually you're an
- 1:09Speaker 2: eleven and you got you got your receivers out there,
- 1:13Speaker 2: and we didn't have any left. We had two left.
- 1:15Speaker 2: And those guys, hats off to Parker and Tim. I mean,
- 1:19Speaker 2: they did a great job just staying ready. I mean,
- 1:22Speaker 2: you never know when something like that could happen, and
- 1:25Speaker 2: those guys are an awesome job of making some plays
- 1:27Speaker 2: down the stretch and just being ready for their their opportunity.
- 1:29Speaker 2: So I mean that's a bright spot if there is one,
- 1:32Speaker 2: just those guys playing well.
- 1:34Speaker 3: Trevor, If you guys have to dip down to the
- 1:36Speaker 3: practice squad where you got Elijah Austin, Trammell, Josh Efis,
- 1:41Speaker 3: did they do enough good things in training, camping and
- 1:43Speaker 3: preseason games where you got some level of confidence that
- 1:46Speaker 3: they'll be able to step in and perform for sure?
- 1:50Speaker 2: Obviously, you know, I don't I don't know what's gonna happen.
- 1:54Speaker 2: I don't know what the future looks like. But those
- 1:56Speaker 2: guys have been working really hard. I think they've done
- 1:58Speaker 2: a nice job. Obviously, will if if that happens, and
- 2:01Speaker 2: we do have to bring some guys up, and then
- 2:05Speaker 2: it's about kind of getting that chemistry going again, cause
- 2:07Speaker 2: it's been a little bit since, you know, thrown with
- 2:09Speaker 2: those guys and and work some stuff. So this would
- 2:11Speaker 2: be a big week if that is the case, that's
- 2:13Speaker 2: what happens. And but those guys have been working really hard.
- 2:15Speaker 2: They're prepared. You know. It's something that we preach is
- 2:18Speaker 2: just to stay ready, cause you just never know when
- 2:20Speaker 2: you're when your number is gonna be called. So who knows,
- 2:23Speaker 2: this could be the week for some of those guys.
- 2:24Speaker 2: And I got faith and you know how in those
- 2:26Speaker 2: guys and how they can play sure us.
- 2:30Speaker 4: Did you feel like you had the ball a barn.
- 2:34Speaker 5: Up a wave of endor that you were concerned about
- 2:38Speaker 5: movie or on the bubble because you guys hold it
- 2:42Speaker 5: away from where he was.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I was just obviously disappointed and turned
- 2:48Speaker 2: the ball over there, backed up and giving them an
- 2:50Speaker 2: easy touchdown pretty much. Uh, definitely affected the game. So
- 2:54Speaker 2: it's disappointing. I thought, you know, honestly thought I was
- 2:56Speaker 2: gonna break the tackle and scramble, so I kind of
- 2:58Speaker 2: moved it to the other hand to get out of
- 2:59Speaker 2: the so I could use my offhand to try to
- 3:02Speaker 2: get him off me. And you know, he he, he
- 3:04Speaker 2: made a good play and and made the tackle and
- 3:06Speaker 2: somehow I don't know what hit the ball. Something hit
- 3:08Speaker 2: the ball and just gotta take care of it, you know,
- 3:10Speaker 2: in that situation. Even if I you know, throw it
- 3:13Speaker 2: away or check it down and we we don't get
- 3:15Speaker 2: it and we punt, that's still better and puts our
- 3:17Speaker 2: defense in a position where they can get a stop
- 3:20Speaker 2: and prevent them from scoring. So uh, I didn't didn't
- 3:23Speaker 2: help them out there.
- 3:24Speaker 6: The motion timing a little bit off.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Yeah, some something happened on that I think it hit
- 3:33Speaker 2: hit one of our guys and during the motion, so
- 3:35Speaker 2: I'm not sure exactly. It's kind of hard to tell
- 3:38Speaker 2: exactly what happened to happened quick, uh, but yeah, it's
- 3:41Speaker 2: same thing. It's just another another air that we gotta fix.
- 3:43Speaker 7: You know.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the the timing, if it's
- 3:45Speaker 2: my cadence timed up that motion better. Obviously, I said,
- 3:49Speaker 2: we had a lot of a lot of injuries and
- 3:50Speaker 2: we got guys going that are, you know, doing stuff
- 3:53Speaker 2: that they haven't done before. And we're we're trying to
- 3:54Speaker 2: figure out on the fly. So it's no excuse, but
- 3:57Speaker 2: we gotta we gotta play cleaner.
- 3:59Speaker 7: Instead of right.
- 4:00Speaker 4: Kind of a tale of two halves. Trevor, you talked
- 4:02Speaker 4: about the success late in the game early on. Did
- 4:06Speaker 4: Green Day show you something you guys, it just seemed
- 4:09Speaker 4: to just struggle to even pick up a first down
- 4:11Speaker 4: until midway through the second quarter.
- 4:14Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I mean, honestly, they did a few
- 4:17Speaker 2: things a little different. I think that's every game though.
- 4:19Speaker 2: There's gonna be a plan for their defensive plan for
- 4:22Speaker 2: us and what we do and what they see on tape.
- 4:24Speaker 2: You know, they have a plan, just as we have
- 4:26Speaker 2: a plan to play them. So there's always a couple things.
- 4:29Speaker 2: But it wasn't anything crazy. We just didn't execute and
- 4:31Speaker 2: I missed a couple throws on third down throughout the game.
- 4:36Speaker 2: There's some other ones where it just felt like the
- 4:38Speaker 2: details weren't good enough. Whether that's being on the same
- 4:41Speaker 2: page and the perimeter or whatever. It just seemed like
- 4:45Speaker 2: some of the details we were lacking a little bit
- 4:47Speaker 2: early and some of the third downs. They made some
- 4:48Speaker 2: good plays too, but we got to be able to
- 4:50Speaker 2: convert some of those third downs. I think we had
- 4:53Speaker 2: two or three three and outs in a row to
- 4:55Speaker 2: start the game and put our defense in a tough spot,
- 4:57Speaker 2: and they were playing they were playing great, So yeah,
- 5:01Speaker 2: we got we gotta be better on third down. We've
- 5:02Speaker 2: been better the last few weeks going into this game,
- 5:04Speaker 2: and we weren't good today.
- 5:06Speaker 7: Trevor, you guys were two and semi here. Uh, you
- 5:09Speaker 7: guys were two and six two years ago, two and
- 5:12Speaker 7: six now here today? Can you draw upon that experience
- 5:15Speaker 7: and what's your confidence level comparatively to when you guys
- 5:19Speaker 7: were two and six two years ago versus two and
- 5:20Speaker 7: six today?
- 5:22Speaker 2: You know, I see that's what's you know, kind of
- 5:27Speaker 2: sucks as a player, and you know, just being a
- 5:28Speaker 2: part of the team is you see the team coming
- 5:30Speaker 2: together and where we're at the last few weeks, we
- 5:32Speaker 2: really have I felt like, come together and we're playing
- 5:36Speaker 2: more complimentary and we're giving ourselves a chance. And obviously
- 5:39Speaker 2: there's just too many mistakes today and we didn't make
- 5:42Speaker 2: enough plays at the end of the game to go
- 5:44Speaker 2: win it. But I do feel the team coming together.
- 5:45Speaker 2: But we just got to find a way to go
- 5:47Speaker 2: three and six. Let's go win next week. I can't
- 5:49Speaker 2: worry about what's going to come after that. We just
- 5:51Speaker 2: got to go taking one week at a time. It's
- 5:53Speaker 2: the only way we're going to get out of the
- 5:55Speaker 2: hole that we've we've put ourselves in. So I'm honestly
- 5:58Speaker 2: not really thinking about two years ago help you now.
- 6:00Speaker 2: I mean, obviously the experience, maybe guys have a little
- 6:04Speaker 2: bit of confidence from that. But it's a new team
- 6:05Speaker 2: and we gotta go do it. We can't just say, well,
- 6:07Speaker 2: we've done it before, it's gonna happen. You know. We
- 6:09Speaker 2: got to go find a way to make these plays
- 6:11Speaker 2: at the end of the game to go win it.
- 6:13Speaker 6: So, yeah, you gotta score. I think with one forty
- 6:17Speaker 6: eight left in the fourth quarter, seeing how Green Bay's
- 6:21Speaker 6: last drive played out, do you think you scored too quickly?
- 6:23Speaker 6: Like would you have like to join a little more
- 6:25Speaker 6: time off the clock.
- 6:27Speaker 2: No, I mean it's you gotta score. You know, you
- 6:31Speaker 2: try to mess around and you don't score and you
- 6:33Speaker 2: don't have a chance. So we were down seven, you
- 6:35Speaker 2: got to score. If you got an opportunity, you punch
- 6:37Speaker 2: it in. So no, I don't think that we scored
- 6:42Speaker 2: too quickly. I think it's ideally, Yeah, of course, you
- 6:45Speaker 2: would love to take as much time and you get
- 6:48Speaker 2: down inside the five and maybe you can run it
- 6:49Speaker 2: around the clock, make them use timeouts, who knows, whatever,
- 6:52Speaker 2: whatever it may be. But that just wasn't really the
- 6:53Speaker 2: situation we were in. It felt like we were playing aggressive,
- 6:57Speaker 2: We were moving the ball great, I was seeing it.
- 6:59Speaker 2: You know, guys are getting open making plays. And then
- 7:02Speaker 2: we got our opportunity, our matchup with Evan, and we
- 7:04Speaker 2: took it. So I think it's it's not the same
- 7:08Speaker 2: as when you're you need to kick a field goal
- 7:11Speaker 2: to take the lead or whatever, when you have to
- 7:13Speaker 2: score a touchdown, you got to take them when you
- 7:14Speaker 2: can get them. So yeah, well the last one.
- 7:17Speaker 5: Of you, Trevor, with you know, the injuries, you don't
- 7:20Speaker 5: know who's going to be out for how long. But
- 7:22Speaker 5: this is when you're facing a reduced lineup like that,
- 7:24Speaker 5: the pressure to be even more perfect. Is that going
- 7:27Speaker 5: to ramp up? You know, less of a margin for
- 7:30Speaker 5: are you guys going forward if you are going to
- 7:31Speaker 5: get back in this thing?
- 7:34Speaker 2: No, I mean guys just got to step up, including me,
- 7:36Speaker 2: Like I mean, it's the same every week. I mean,
- 7:39Speaker 2: playing quarterback in this league. If you don't play well,
- 7:41Speaker 2: you're not probably gonna have a great chance to win.
- 7:43Speaker 2: So it doesn't really change. And it's any position you
- 7:46Speaker 2: got to you just gotta play well, don't matter who
- 7:48Speaker 2: you're playing, You got to play together, got to execute
- 7:51Speaker 2: in critical situations. Just all stuff that we've talked about,
- 7:55Speaker 2: and we got to continue to get better at and
- 7:56Speaker 2: I think we have in some areas, and it's one
- 7:59Speaker 2: thing we just got to mess of stick together, and
- 8:01Speaker 2: we can't be totally dejected by the result today. I
- 8:06Speaker 2: do think we've come a long way and we are
- 8:08Speaker 2: continuing to come together and become a better team. But
- 8:11Speaker 2: we gotta we gotta find a way to win, win
- 8:13Speaker 2: next week, so you know, all the work is not
- 8:17Speaker 2: in vain. You know, we've come a long way and
- 8:19Speaker 2: we just got to go find a way to win. Awesome,
- 8:22Speaker 2: Thank you all appreciate it.
