WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford

0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:09.280
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, looking out there and you're more comfortable than

0:00:09.280 --> 0:00:11.160
<v Speaker 1>you've been yet. You can speak to that you're feeling that.

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Uh yeah, you know, I feel like, uh, you know,

0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.280
<v Speaker 1>over the past couple of weeks or you know, whatever

0:00:16.280 --> 0:00:18.240
<v Speaker 1>it's been, you know, I've gotten a lot more comfortable

0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>out there with you know, what we're doing, and you know,

0:00:20.720 --> 0:00:24.159
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, you know, everyone else has too. You know,

0:00:24.160 --> 0:00:26.360
<v Speaker 1>it seems you know, it's still not perfect. You know,

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:30.400
<v Speaker 1>there's still some things that we need to correct, but um,

0:00:30.440 --> 0:00:32.519
<v Speaker 1>you know, it seems to be going in the right

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:35.840
<v Speaker 1>direction right now. What did you do during the vibe

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:38.200
<v Speaker 1>We've been two weeks there. Do you seem to really

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:41.479
<v Speaker 1>straight somethings that since then? Even missing the time? What

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:45.879
<v Speaker 1>did that pero do for? Um? Yeah, I think it

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.479
<v Speaker 1>just allows you a kind of a chance to just

0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>step back and look at it from a different perspective. Um,

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, I'm not sure I changed a whole lot.

0:00:54.320 --> 0:00:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, like I said, or I think

0:00:56.040 --> 0:00:58.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm just getting more comfortable. Um. You know, I feel

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>like my feet have been much better. I feel like

0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>my pocket movement has been much better. Um, you know,

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like when I play with my feet

0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>in rhythm. You know, good things usually happened, and I

0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.240
<v Speaker 1>feel like the past couple of weeks, my feet have

0:01:09.319 --> 0:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. The Vertibal game was there today. What

0:01:11.840 --> 0:01:14.440
<v Speaker 1>happened then to get that coming? Um, you know, just

0:01:14.520 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>kind of the coverage they were playing today. Um, you

0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 1>know they weren't playing you know, it was kind of

0:01:19.840 --> 0:01:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like a quarter slash zero look for some of the

0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.280
<v Speaker 1>run stuff. But you know, there really wasn't a deep

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:27.119
<v Speaker 1>safety in the middle of the field most of the game.

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>So you know, they were challenged us to throw it downfield,

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.679
<v Speaker 1>and you know, we wanted to take some shots and

0:01:32.760 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, fortunately we hit a few. Kind of like

0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>that was huge. Um. You know, you call that play

0:01:47.480 --> 0:01:49.800
<v Speaker 1>thinking that you know you might get for and get

0:01:49.840 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 1>the first down, and you know he probably gets pushed

0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>out of bounds and then you know we got first intent.

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:55.960
<v Speaker 1>But you know, for him to make the catch and

0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>run that he did, um, you know, that's just a bonus.

0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>And it was pretty cool. I mean, it looked like

0:02:00.640 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>he was never going to go down. And you know

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>it's plays like that that you know, really get us

0:02:05.240 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 1>going and kind of spark us. Quarterbacks got like seeing

0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:15.400
<v Speaker 1>that they can Calcu. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean, you know,

0:02:15.520 --> 0:02:17.680
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen a whole lot of it this year. Um.

0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, it seems like everyone we play tries to

0:02:19.440 --> 0:02:21.280
<v Speaker 1>keep everything in front of us, you know, and make

0:02:21.360 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>us put together long drives. But you know today they

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:29.200
<v Speaker 1>were giving it to us when you watch them, UM

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, yes, its more so today. I think.

0:02:32.960 --> 0:02:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, their game plan today was kind of designed

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:40.280
<v Speaker 1>specifically for us. Um. You know, I got to know

0:02:40.320 --> 0:02:41.959
<v Speaker 1>that it's going to get down to the two minute,

0:02:42.000 --> 0:02:44.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, regardless, and you know, got to throw it away.

0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:46.360
<v Speaker 1>You know. I don't know how many yards I lost

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:50.240
<v Speaker 1>right there, but yeah, I mean it's critical right there. Um,

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a mental mistake, you know, I I should

0:02:52.080 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>have thrown the ball away when they're winning anything there.

0:02:54.480 --> 0:03:01.800
<v Speaker 1>See how much you say that first? Um, you know,

0:03:02.200 --> 0:03:04.840
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I think it's kind of hard to say,

0:03:04.919 --> 0:03:07.040
<v Speaker 1>but you know I do feel better out there, you know,

0:03:07.080 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel more comfortable out there, you know, more confident

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, and what we're doing. And I think as

0:03:11.680 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback, when you're confident and you're able to just

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.080
<v Speaker 1>kind of let things rip, you know, that's when you

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.520
<v Speaker 1>play your best. There's a lot going on this week's

0:03:18.919 --> 0:03:22.919
<v Speaker 1>away from the field, but play come back and as

0:03:22.919 --> 0:03:24.800
<v Speaker 1>a player, did you just have to just put that

0:03:24.840 --> 0:03:27.160
<v Speaker 1>out of this focus on the builds and their defensive

0:03:27.160 --> 0:03:29.400
<v Speaker 1>stuff and not worried about all the other stuff going on. Yeah,

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:33.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think that's been what's been really special

0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:35.840
<v Speaker 1>about this team and this group for the past two

0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:37.760
<v Speaker 1>weeks because you know, I know there's been a lot

0:03:37.800 --> 0:03:40.800
<v Speaker 1>of noise from outside the building, um, you know, especially

0:03:40.800 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 1>after the things giving date game. Um, but you know,

0:03:44.320 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't seem to affect us. You know, I think

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>everyone did a great job but just staying focused at

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:51.400
<v Speaker 1>not letting any of that, you know, add anything extra

0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.520
<v Speaker 1>to the game. You know, I thought our preparation this

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>week was great, um, you know, and then to go

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 1>out there and get another good team win tonight, Um,

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>it's huge. Just how important as a destiny you know

0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>that you have the destiny in your own hands and

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.400
<v Speaker 1>it's on your own control. Now. I mean, even let's

0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>flit lifts be games or playoff games, let's don't but

0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>you see that new own destiny in your hands. How

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.800
<v Speaker 1>much going to feel it is? All right? Now? Yeah,

0:04:14.840 --> 0:04:17.039
<v Speaker 1>I think that's all you can ask for. Um. You know,

0:04:17.040 --> 0:04:19.000
<v Speaker 1>obviously to start the year the way we did and

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.200
<v Speaker 1>kind of dig ourselves in a hole. You know, it

0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>was unlikely that we would be in this position this

0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.320
<v Speaker 1>late in the year. But you know, for us to,

0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:29.919
<v Speaker 1>like you said, control our own destiny. Um, you know,

0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>where we don't have to depend on anyone else, you know,

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.479
<v Speaker 1>and if we take care of our business, will end

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.520
<v Speaker 1>up where we want to be. I think that's all

0:04:36.560 --> 0:04:40.520
<v Speaker 1>you can ask for. You know, you're coming back to

0:04:40.560 --> 0:04:42.400
<v Speaker 1>the line up a two games where the team is

0:04:42.400 --> 0:04:45.400
<v Speaker 1>given up the twenty five points each game lost, and

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:48.520
<v Speaker 1>now you're coming back, do you try to take anywhere

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.239
<v Speaker 1>all yourself where you try to just kind of slide

0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:54.120
<v Speaker 1>back in the way things you used to be put

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>us in the mindset what a quarterback takes onselves in

0:04:57.320 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>the situation. Um. You know, I think more than anything,

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.839
<v Speaker 1>as opposed to you know, changing anything on the field,

0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.960
<v Speaker 1>I think, you know, the past couple of weeks, I've

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>just tried to provide leadership, um to this group. You know,

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that you can let what's happened in

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.760
<v Speaker 1>the past affect the way that you know you prepare

0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:16.760
<v Speaker 1>for a game or alter your style and you know,

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I think that's when you start trying to force things

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that aren't there, you know, and that's when bad plays happen. So,

0:05:21.400 --> 0:05:22.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, as far as my play on the field,

0:05:23.240 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've tried to keep that pretty much the same.

0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:30.279
<v Speaker 1>It's how you expect it. If the offense you Um, yeah,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.479
<v Speaker 1>I still think there's some things that we can do better.

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:35.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think that we can perform at a

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>higher level. You know, obviously we're still not great out there,

0:05:38.520 --> 0:05:41.039
<v Speaker 1>but um, you know, I think this is what I

0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:43.919
<v Speaker 1>envisioned as far as us winning as a team. You know,

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:46.200
<v Speaker 1>what we've been able to do the past two weeks,

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, to put two wins together, um, and I

0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>think that's kind of what everyone was really looking to see. Ye,

0:05:53.400 --> 0:05:53.680
<v Speaker 1>thank you,
