WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford

0:00:00.760 --> 0:00:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Sam, you have to be insanely proud of this team,

0:00:04.120 --> 0:00:09.480
<v Speaker 1>as resilient as they've been coming off those three losses. Yeah,

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>I think you can say enough about the guys in

0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:14.400
<v Speaker 1>that locker room. Um, you know, obviously, I think the

0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:18.600
<v Speaker 1>last three weeks were tough on us. All. Yeah, I'm

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:20.560
<v Speaker 1>not sure anyone outside that locker room gave us a

0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:22.840
<v Speaker 1>chance to come in here and win tonight. But you know,

0:00:23.160 --> 0:00:25.920
<v Speaker 1>we believed in ourselves. We knew we had a chance,

0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>and we had a great week of preparation and then

0:00:28.280 --> 0:00:31.720
<v Speaker 1>to come in here, you know, and get the contributions

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.440
<v Speaker 1>from all three phases tonight. You know, I think this

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.640
<v Speaker 1>is the definition of a team win. Is it crazy

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:38.920
<v Speaker 1>that you guys are still alive? And if Dallas wins

0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:44.960
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow night, you guys Hyperson Yeah, you know, obviously this division,

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:48.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's been crazy thus far. You know, after

0:00:48.280 --> 0:00:50.159
<v Speaker 1>twelve weeks, you know, we're still in the hunt to

0:00:50.200 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>make the playoffs. And you know, regardless of what your

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>record is, obviously we'd like it to be much better.

0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:58.000
<v Speaker 1>But you know, if you're still in the hunt at

0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>this point in the season, then you know you've got

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 1>a shote year. You know, when you're work at rams,

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean seven and nine. Yeah, yeah, and then I

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>think you know, Seattle beat New Orleans, you know in

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:12.280
<v Speaker 1>the first round, you know, after going seven and nine.

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>But you know, it's a very similar situation to my

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>rookie year. Two touchdowns if you feel the need opposite,

0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 1>we've got seven in sea situations. Yeah, you know obviously, Um,

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, we knew anytime we had an opportunity to

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 1>get points tonight that you know, we needed to convert touchdowns,

0:01:30.200 --> 0:01:33.199
<v Speaker 1>you know, especially going against um, you know, that offense

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:35.480
<v Speaker 1>and that team. You know, we knew eventually at some

0:01:35.520 --> 0:01:37.319
<v Speaker 1>point that it would catch up to us if we

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 1>had to settle for fuel goals. So getting those two

0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:42.320
<v Speaker 1>scores was big. When you lose, guys, some guys have

0:01:42.400 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>talked about, you know, you lose those three straight can

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>shake confidence. Some guys have talked about tonight at least

0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:51.160
<v Speaker 1>that you know, Chip reminded everyone last night that you know,

0:01:51.280 --> 0:01:53.600
<v Speaker 1>we are a good football team, forget those three losses.

0:01:53.600 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 1>I mean, did that feel like the case, like the

0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:59.080
<v Speaker 1>hip reassured you guys last night at all? Yeah? Um,

0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:01.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, I hope it didn't take Chip to reassure

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>anyone in that room. You know, I still had the belief.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I know there are a lot of other guys who

0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.720
<v Speaker 1>still believed in themselves and believed in this team. Um,

0:02:08.760 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think tonight, you know, hopefully gives us

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 1>even more of that belief, you know, to know that

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.120
<v Speaker 1>we can come on the road and beat a really

0:02:15.120 --> 0:02:20.679
<v Speaker 1>good football team. That's sorry. Uh, I think it was

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:24.480
<v Speaker 1>third and eleven to late see the first option. Just

0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>talk about progressions play? Uh yeah, you know, it's really

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.519
<v Speaker 1>one of those things we're just kind of working it

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.920
<v Speaker 1>inside out off a squeeze, and you know, we had

0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Jordan in the middle. Um, you know, I think they

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:37.600
<v Speaker 1>took him away, and then Coop did a great job

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.720
<v Speaker 1>running that route, you know, pushing it to get us

0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>depth and then making a big catch for a first down. Yeah. Yeah.

0:02:44.720 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 1>What would your message to the team before the game.

0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>A lot of guys have talked about kind of gave

0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.799
<v Speaker 1>a pregame. What made you decide to do that? Bully?

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>Was your message? Um? I don't know, you know, I

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:56.360
<v Speaker 1>think it was just one of those things that you know,

0:02:56.360 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>I kind of felt like the time was right to

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>say something, and it was, you know, just have that

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.240
<v Speaker 1>belief have that confidence, know that you know, we can

0:03:03.360 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>go out there and if we do play well, we

0:03:05.280 --> 0:03:07.560
<v Speaker 1>will win, you know, and go out there and we

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.079
<v Speaker 1>knew it was going to be a fourth quarter game

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>regardless of how it started. It was going to come

0:03:11.280 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>down to the end, you know, and just to continue

0:03:13.240 --> 0:03:17.800
<v Speaker 1>to fight whatever its Sprowls and barn or do for

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.080
<v Speaker 1>the the pace and the and the way you ran

0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>your office. Yeah, you know, those guys ran hard today. Um,

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.359
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think you know, we didn't have a

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.800
<v Speaker 1>lot of opportunities, Um, you know in the third quarter,

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>but then you know, when we had the chance in

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.160
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter, I think we went on like a

0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.520
<v Speaker 1>thirteen play eight r drive and the guys up front

0:03:35.560 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>really started getting a great movement. And then those guys

0:03:37.920 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, we're finding holes. They were running hard. Um,

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, picking up some extra arts. Obviously, that's good.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.000
<v Speaker 1>It's good. It feels good in your part where you

0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.360
<v Speaker 1>concerned it all about not being able to pick up

0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:53.000
<v Speaker 1>where you left off because you felt confident about the

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:57.200
<v Speaker 1>way you played before the injury. Um, you know, I

0:03:57.200 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>think anytime you missed a couple games with an injury,

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:01.440
<v Speaker 1>obviously you're not actually sure how you're going to come back.

0:04:01.520 --> 0:04:03.320
<v Speaker 1>But you know, I felt that I was playing really

0:04:03.320 --> 0:04:05.880
<v Speaker 1>well before I got hurt. You know, I didn't know, um,

0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.880
<v Speaker 1>exactly what it was going to be like tonight, you know,

0:04:07.920 --> 0:04:10.160
<v Speaker 1>with the shoulder, But you know, I felt like, you know,

0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:11.920
<v Speaker 1>I made the plays when they had to be made time.

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:15.440
<v Speaker 1>How different was the offense running? This offense? DeMarco Murray

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:18.560
<v Speaker 1>seemed to be extremely limited? Was all Darren Sprowls early

0:04:19.000 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>to half? Only one yard for you know, only five

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>cars for one yard for DeMarco? How did that kind

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.599
<v Speaker 1>of change things up for you guys? Um? You know,

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>to be honest, sometimes we get out there and we

0:04:29.440 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>get going so fast that I just have a hard

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.720
<v Speaker 1>time really knowing who's in the game out there. But

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:35.839
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think Sprowles did a great job tonight.

0:04:36.120 --> 0:04:38.160
<v Speaker 1>You know, like I said, he found some holes that

0:04:38.560 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, might not have been there. I'm not sure

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:42.280
<v Speaker 1>if anyone else but him could have squeezed through some

0:04:42.320 --> 0:04:44.600
<v Speaker 1>of those. And I thought he ran hard, um, you know,

0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:46.400
<v Speaker 1>and he picked up some extra yards for us tonight.

0:04:48.120 --> 0:04:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Nine offensive touchdowns? What's up? There's three nine offensive touchdowns? Oh,

0:04:53.080 --> 0:04:55.080
<v Speaker 1>it's it's huge, you know, I think not just for

0:04:55.120 --> 0:04:57.440
<v Speaker 1>the offense, but for the defense. I think everyone feeds

0:04:57.440 --> 0:04:59.920
<v Speaker 1>off that. You know, when our special teams contributes like that.

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:02.560
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously, um, you can't ask them to score

0:05:02.600 --> 0:05:05.320
<v Speaker 1>three touchdowns every night, but when they're able to go

0:05:05.360 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>out and do what they did tonight, I think it

0:05:07.200 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>just gives us, you know, a lot of energy and

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of momentum. On our sideline was definitely would

0:05:11.839 --> 0:05:14.520
<v Speaker 1>have fourteen nothing in that drive when you put them down.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:20.479
<v Speaker 1>How they drive? Was that confident? Yeah? That was huge. Um,

0:05:20.600 --> 0:05:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think especially after you know, the past

0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.600
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks and when it's happened, Um, you know,

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:27.840
<v Speaker 1>I think to go down there and score, you know,

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and to keep it close, and then obviously to get

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:33.159
<v Speaker 1>the punt return right before halftime or the pump block. Um,

0:05:33.200 --> 0:05:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, that was huge Chip, you know, being come

0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:41.200
<v Speaker 1>up here, for you guys to come up here, uh

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 1>and and put up away and given some of the

0:05:43.200 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>things that outside the locker room have been being said about, uh,

0:05:46.200 --> 0:05:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you know Chip and the team lately, you know, does

0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>it is it even a little bit more special for

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 1>you guys to start us come up to his home

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>base and and and take one up here. Um, you know,

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:59.120
<v Speaker 1>I didn't really even think about that, but uh, you

0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:00.840
<v Speaker 1>know I think too. I'm in here, and to beat

0:06:00.880 --> 0:06:04.039
<v Speaker 1>that football team, you know, is really what's special about it.

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.719
<v Speaker 1>You know, football team. Um, you know, it's tough to

0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:08.440
<v Speaker 1>come in here and beat them. So to come up here,

0:06:08.720 --> 0:06:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, and do what we did tonight, and I

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.400
<v Speaker 1>think that's what makes it special. Thanks. Thanks,
