1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,360
Speaker 1: The lift that Trevor gave by gutting it out, you know,

2
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: scrambles of twenty two and twenty six yards and then

3
00:00:06,559 --> 00:00:10,200
Speaker 1: put the game on the line delivering the curtain.

4
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:13,480
Speaker 2: Number one.

5
00:00:13,520 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 3: The biggest stat that matters to me is the scoreboard, right,

6
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 3: the fact that we won the game. Now, with that

7
00:00:20,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 3: being said, I mentioned to the team that, you know,

8
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,439
Speaker 3: we had some guys that were banged up, you know,

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:29,640
Speaker 3: going into this game, and that you know, each man

10
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 3: had to had to step in that gap, right, everybody

11
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 3: had to lift each other up.

12
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,040
Speaker 2: And I credit our offensive line.

13
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,680
Speaker 3: Other than the scrambles where he got tackled, I think

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 3: I think he stayed pretty clean in the pocket for

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 3: for the whole day. You know, his performance gutting it

16
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 3: out like he did, Brandon Shurf, gutting it out like

17
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:55,320
Speaker 3: he did so many guys you know, on a short

18
00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 3: week battle an injury. Uh, to sacrifice that for the

19
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: foot ball team, you know, says a lot about the

20
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,679
Speaker 3: character of these guys. And and I'm so proud of

21
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 3: them for for doing that. And Trevor is obviously one

22
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:12,919
Speaker 3: of those guys, and and you know, kind of everything

23
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 3: else goes away. You know, the fact that they gutted

24
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 3: it out, made the plays down the stretch when we

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 3: needed to, you know, Buster Brown in the end zone,

26
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: you know, on fourth down, you know Jamal's punt return,

27
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 3: did a great job of anticipating that, you know, a

28
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 3: fake punt, you know, Christian and you know his touchdown

29
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 3: there at the end. There were a lot of individual

30
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:37,679
Speaker 3: efforts that you know, we're we're good to see, you know,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,839
Speaker 3: from from guys and and just a lot of credit,

32
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 3: a lot of credit to those guys in the locker room.

33
00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: Buster Brown, you mentioned, he's really stepped up to only

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: have won defensive snap through the first six weeks, in

35
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: all five weeks, and all of a sudden he's in

36
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: this spot. What do you think tonight?

37
00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, I thought he you know, I thought he did

38
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: some good things. You know, he's a young player, second

39
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:04,920
Speaker 3: year player for us. You know, we were missing Tyson Campbell.

40
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 3: So it's next man up, you know, and Buster is

41
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 3: the next man and and he's worked, he's.

42
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: Worked hard to put himself in his position.

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 3: He works hard in practice and and you know, uh

44
00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 3: it's not always going to be you know, perfect or

45
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 3: pretty or all of that, but you know what he

46
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: he made plays when when, when he needed to and

47
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,839
Speaker 3: and and that's the most important thing.

48
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 2: And so really proud of the way he played.

49
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 4: Today last night, I.

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 3: Wouldn't say one hundred percent, you know, it's it's not

51
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: my decision to make, you know, it's Trevor's and how

52
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,519
Speaker 3: he feels and and uh, you know, he was feeling

53
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,880
Speaker 3: good last night. He was feeling good today during the workout.

54
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 3: So you know, I I trust my players and and

55
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 3: you know I trust.

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: That Uh you know, I'm gonna do what's right.

57
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 3: But at the same time, if the player in this case, Trevor,

58
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,160
Speaker 3: feels like he can go, then I've got to trust that.

59
00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 4: Doug, I know you probably didn't know what to expect

60
00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 4: him in terms of his mobility, But for him to

61
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 4: four days ago his spring is knee wearing knee brace

62
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 4: for the first time and tonight established a career high

63
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: in rushing yards and lead the team in rushing seems preposterous.

64
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 4: What does it stay about that guy?

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 3: It just it just again shows the type of person

66
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,800
Speaker 3: he is and and the the the unselfishness that he

67
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: has and and you know I saw it last year.

68
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 2: When he got injured.

69
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 3: You know, he got injured in the Detroit game, and

70
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 3: he battled with injury throughout the course the rest of

71
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,959
Speaker 3: the you know, through the rest of the year, and

72
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: and gutted that out.

73
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 2: This is different. This is a short week and on Monday,

74
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 2: I would have told you that.

75
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: He was not playing in this football game on Monday,

76
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 3: but that's not who Trevor is. And and uh, again,

77
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 3: proud of his effort, you know, the ability to you know,

78
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: escape the pocket and run.

79
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: Fortunately they were straight ahead runs, he didn't have to

80
00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: cut too much.

81
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of a lot of gutsy performances

82
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 3: out there, and and his is his is probably the

83
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:00,160
Speaker 3: number one.

84
00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 5: The resilience this team has. Can you just talk about

85
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 5: that and and what it took to sort of you know,

86
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 5: at the end there come back and the first score

87
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 5: touch out away.

88
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, this is a this is a good

89
00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 3: football team that we played tonight. And they're well coached,

90
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 3: as disciplined group, and they're aggressive on defense, and they

91
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,280
Speaker 3: got every every weapon on offense, and and it you know,

92
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:21,600
Speaker 3: we talked about it this week.

93
00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 2: It's a sixty minute football game and that's what you

94
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 2: gotta do.

95
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,200
Speaker 3: And you know, guys owned their jobs and knew, knew

96
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 3: their role, and that's what I that's all I asked

97
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 3: them to do. And they did that. Don't do anymore,

98
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 3: you know, or any less. And and I challenged.

99
00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: Them to be great.

100
00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 3: You know, they don't have to be perfect, just just

101
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 3: be great, have great passion, have great energy.

102
00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:45,159
Speaker 2: And and they did that today.

103
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 4: How do you think this sets you up going forward?

104
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 4: Now you have ten days to get ready for for Pittsburgh.

105
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: You played well on the road to this point, and

106
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 4: then you have to five week after that.

107
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, you know, we've got to take advantage

108
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:59,640
Speaker 3: of the next three days. Players have got to get

109
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 3: got to a healthy live in the training room and

110
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 3: all of that. But at the same time, I want

111
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 3: them to, you know, kind of take this mini break,

112
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 3: mini buy. And you know coaches do the same thing,

113
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 3: kind of get away, clear their heads, get one more,

114
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 3: you know, one more you know, road road game coming up,

115
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,280
Speaker 3: and then and then give them, you know, give them

116
00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:19,599
Speaker 3: a little more more of a break.

117
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: So you know, we just.

118
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 3: Gotta be smart with the next couple of days, you know,

119
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:27,919
Speaker 3: anticipating getting some guys back next week, you know that

120
00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:31,359
Speaker 3: have been missing and uh, you know, but we'll do

121
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 3: we'll do the right thing and look forward to that.

122
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: A couple of good offensive drives early and then I

123
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: really lengthy role for the offense. Uh what are you

124
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: attribute to.

125
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 2: The switch there? Just good defense.

126
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, we didn't execute very well, but

127
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 3: they played they played better defense. They were you know,

128
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: uh stunting a little bit more up front, taking away

129
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 3: some of the inside zones and and you know, just

130
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:53,520
Speaker 3: they just did a nice job on defense. And and

131
00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 3: we got to look at this film and and uh,

132
00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: you know, make make those adjustments, make those corrections as

133
00:05:58,839 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 3: we go forward.

134
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 4: Last two weeks, you've gotten a touchdown drive very first

135
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 4: series of the game, after not getting at all the

136
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 4: first five weeks. What what's changed?

137
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,600
Speaker 1: And I mean, yeah, I know you talk about about

138
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 1: having a sense of urgency all the time, but.

139
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 3: I just think, yeah, I just think the guys are

140
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: really you know, I think they're they're gelling together, coming

141
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 3: together as an offense. You know, you know, we were

142
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 3: able to run the football, you know, successfully and in

143
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 3: a couple of those drives there, and and uh, you know,

144
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: Trevor was pretty accurate with his throws. Guys, you know,

145
00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 3: making plays on on some third downs. And and just

146
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 3: you know, it just comes down to execution, you know,

147
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: and and the last couple of weeks we've been able

148
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,040
Speaker 3: to do that. And you know, obviously the end res

149
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 3: old is is points how much did your defense? Defenses

150
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,320
Speaker 3: defense has been been playing outstanding all season long, and

151
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 3: they played great against Night you know, and and you know,

152
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's rare that you're you know, on the

153
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 3: negative side of the turnover margin and and still win

154
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,560
Speaker 3: the football game. But you know, to hold them to

155
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 3: field goals early, and and that was big. You know,

156
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 3: the guys came ready to play. Mike had a great

157
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:23,239
Speaker 3: plan for them, and and they executed that plan, you know,

158
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:23,800
