  Speaker 1: Trevor just I mean, overall, how do you feel like,
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you know it went tonight? How to feel out there
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: and didn't like last last week? Did it feel like,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you know, just took a little bit maybe get settled in. Yeah,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's hard. I don't I don't
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: like to say too much before I watch it and see.
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: And there's definitely a lot of good things to watch
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: the tape and learn from. Um Pittsburgh did a nice job,
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: gave a lot of different looks. Um, So there'll be
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that learned from. I'd say, just
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: obviously want to score more touchdowns similar um theme is
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: last week, So I got to improve there. I mean,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: you've seen our ability to drive the ball and time
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: of possession and keep drives going has been great and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: that's something that's gonna really help us throughout the season.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: But in order to win these games, you gotta you
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: gotta score more points. So from there, i'd say that's
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the first thing obviously that comes to mind. It's obvious.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And then, um, I think I left a few plays
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: out there, got a little bit um anti with my
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: feet at times. So there's some things, you know, individually
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to work on and to watch and then, um, I
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: think it's a unit. Though we did there was more
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: good things than bad, especially in that first half with
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: with our crew that was out there. I felt felt
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: good about what the things we did. Obviously the obvious
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: is to score more touchdowns, but they'll they'll be more
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: to learn from them, for sure. You know, obviously a
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: lot of time and passes to Christian out there. I mean,
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: just how important is it to get this kind of
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: game speed reps with him against you know, another defense
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: as opposed to just in practice. Yeah, I mean it's different.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: You know, it's similar. It's different from him for him
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: one because it is full live all the time and
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that's not you know how it isn't practice. But then
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: also for me and throwing to him as time clock
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: speeds up a little bit, especially when you're playing against
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, guy like t. J. Watt who obviously is
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: a great pass rusher. And um so that was great
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for our our group to get to work through that
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: and have a couple of series against all those guys
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: and it's like a real game and to have three
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: what ten plus play drives. I mean, I don't know
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: if that's exact, but some long drive. So I thought
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: it was I thought it was great. Um, but yeah,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the reps with Christian obviously it's our first game playing together.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: That's gonna get better and better. I think it's a
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: nice things. You know. I missed him on on one
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: or two early that I'd like to have back and
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: but we're gonna we'll connect on those balanced attack try
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: balance attack for you tonight. Uh. Doug hinted on it
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: somewhat the game plan to to also come out try
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: to run the football. Um, what was that like? And
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you feel like, under normal circumstances once you get into
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the regular season that that would have changed What do
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: you mean do I fight that would have changed red
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: zone and some things. Some calls that you made. He
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: he said that he was wanted to lean a little
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: bit more on the run. Uh. Do you believe that
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: in a normal set of circumstances those calls wouldn't have
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: been named? Yeah? I mean you try to play these
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: games because I mean there's still they're still real games.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: It's you know, you gotta play them like the real
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: But on the other hand, um, you don't game plan
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the same. You know that you have the season coming
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: up in a couple of weeks and you want to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: have all your AMMO. You wanna be prepared, and um,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta play it smart. But you also
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: can't come out here and not use anything and get
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: your teeth kicked in, So you gotta you gotta find
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the balance. So I think we're doing a great job.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I think we whatever we run, we just gotta execute.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: And you saw that tonight at times and other times
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: where we didn't um all around, you know, every position.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: So I'd say from that standpoint, you know, game week,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that could change. Yeah, Like like you said, obviously, the
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: game plans are very um detailed and in depth week
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to week. So it just depends that that one point
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: there appeared to be about three guys all in the
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: same area and we get threw into the end zone.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Was that just an offensive breakdown? There was at a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: wrong route that was run? No, I mean I have
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to watch it to make sure. But um, really from
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the pictures on the sideline and from just running, like
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: being out there and seeing it unfold, we think we're
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: in the right spots. They covered it was a little
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: a little naked and they covered up or are flat
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: quick and then it was zones. They covered up Zay
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: coming across, and then Marvin did a good job work
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone scrambled drill and um,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I just missed it about a foot wide there, so
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: we should have should have scored there. So that's one
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: that along with some of the Christian that I went
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: back you speaking of the two that you talked about
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with with Christian, one of them you let him a
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: little too much and the other one that was just
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: it was too high when you get back to the sideline.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Christian said that you guys don't really talk about you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: you know, regrets or anything like that. You may talk
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a little bit about scheme, but I mean in your
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: own mind. I mean when you walked off, it was
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: it like I should have had that, should have had that, Yeah, definitely.
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: I mean the first one especially, both of them are
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: on their sideline. But um, the first one just missed
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: pretty bad. You know, it should have been an easy
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: first time. I think it was like third and four
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: or something like that. Um, And the second one had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure and throw the ball a
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: little early and just kind of misplaced it by prior yard.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: So that one that will happen from time to time.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Obviously the first one wasn't easy. It should have been
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: easy completion, got to have that. But yeah, we're talking
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: about and he has a confidence in me, like I'm
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna make that throw. Like that's not gonna
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: happen often, So we don't really talk much about that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm telling him like I gotta hit him there. But
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we're talking more about general scheme. How did the dB
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: play it? Why did he decide to do this on
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the route instead of this? You know, that's kind of
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: what we're what we're talking about. Why did you flash
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: that the Kim Bay finger. I'm just having fun, you know,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just just having fun out there. I didn't think
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: you guys would have would catch it, but of course
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: you did so. H No, I was talking to Cam
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: after the game. That was so. I grew up a
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: big Tennessee fan, you guys know um and it. Tolim
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: was like, hey, I watched you play all all through years.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: So we ended up switching to Jersey. So hopefully it
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: doesn't get mad about the video. Nobody in the locker
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: room has seen it as at this point, yes, the
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: c J showed me Actually I didn't even I didn't
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: even realize it's gonna be on camera. But I'm just
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: having fun. Nothing, no no harm there, Trevor. How valuable
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: has Mike McCoy been um on the sidelines for you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: and just kind of coaching you through the game and
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: when you're looking on the tablet and kind of, like
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: you said, looking at the pictures of what the defense
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: is showing just how valuable has he been so far?
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Early on? He does a great job. I think just
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the um, just his ham presence has been great. You know,
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: he's not a guy that he's not a guy that's big,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, high energy on game day, stays really calm
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and you know, you make a mistake, can miss a throw,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: whatever it's He really just likes to keep looking forward.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really look back on what happened in the past.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I think he does a great job of just getting
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: us ready for the next series and then you know
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: we look at all the pictures. Just has so much
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: experience from guys that he's coached, you know, being offensive coordinator,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: head coach, all those things. Um, just every time we're
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: looking at something, he has kind of a different thought
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: that you know, we're kind of looking at what happened
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and little things that are more obvious, and he's kind
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of looking backside of you know, think about this next
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: time if this is covered, get to this a lot
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: of a lot of different things than Andrew Bryner is
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: another guy. He does a great job getting the looks
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: on the on the getting the pictures on there for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: us and really breaking him down. He does an awesome
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: job Truvu in the first half there you were still
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: five for nine on third downs for that portion of
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: the game. Um, even despite some stuff that you'd rather
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: have back, and still getting Christian in with chemistry wise,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: and mean, how much positive is that to say about
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the offense growing during camp? Like I said, there's there's
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: definitely more good than bad today. Um, Obviously the end
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: result was not what you want. You want to win
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: the game, but I think there was a lot of
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: good things we did and a lot to learn from obviously,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: and third down has been something that last two weeks
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: we've done a really good job. And that's that's been
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: a big emphasis for us because obviously last year we
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: weren't we weren't a good third down team. So that's
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta be. If you're gonna be a
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: good offense, you gotta be go on third down. So
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: it's good to see that. But like we said, just
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: continuing to finish those drives last week was more we
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: were getting down there in the red zone. Didn't finish them.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: This one we just kind of getting stuck in the
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: fringe area. So just all that just all stuff to
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: work on and you know, situations that will work on
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: for sure. And would you say that, um as far
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: as the ones that you did miss with Christian is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: just that just is it too simple to say that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: it's just chemistry at this point because you guys are
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: new together or I don't even think that, you know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I think, really it's more just two misthrows and you
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: know it's gonna happen. And um, I know one I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: throw to the left did and feel like I really
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: got set for properly, so I you know, didn't feel
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: great coming out. And then the other one, like I said,
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I try to anticipate it because I had a guy
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: on my face and just missed it. So I think
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: we've gotten a lot of work together. I mean, you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: guys have seen practices and we're we've gotten a ton
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: of reps and he's been a main target. He's done
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: a great job of just us communicating. And so that's
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: that's gonna come obviously with time though to your point,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: but not just misthrows, Trevor, Are you dwelling less on
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: those mistakes knowing that they're going to get ironed out
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: later on in the preseason the regular season this year
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: compared to last year where maybe they got to you
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a little more in the preseason. Is that fair to say? Yeah?
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that just comes with experience, to um,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: realizing that it's all about the next play, you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: the next game, all all that stuff you can't dwell
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: in the past, especially in this league. It's like I've said,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: there's it's a long season, and um, you really got
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: to put your best foot forward every day. So I
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: think I've I learned that last year too, obviously struggling
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: a little bit throughout the season. Um, I had to
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: learn kind of the hard way of how to move
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: on you And so now you have a couple of
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: bad plays in a row, you have a bad series,
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: you just gotta go onto the next is it doesn't
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: do any good that already happened you can't go back
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: and fix it. Um, all you can do is just
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: the next series, trying to take it one play at
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a time and put yourself in a position to score.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Trevor Christian said in the locker room that just in
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: terms of what you guys have shown in terms of
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the offensive scheme, it hasn't been very much at all.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Is that what you would say as well? Yeah, I
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: mean we uh, I mean I would I would agree
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: with that. That's kind of a yeah, awesome, Thank you guys.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I'll have a good one.
