1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,719 Speaker 1: Doug, can you give us your impressions on how Trevor 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,440 Speaker 1: played and was it important today to get him moving more. 3 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: I don't think it was important to get him moving. 4 00:00:08,360 --> 00:00:11,760 Speaker 1: I think it was part of our game plan. I 5 00:00:11,760 --> 00:00:15,400 Speaker 1: thought Trevor played, played extremely well obviously, you know, bounced 6 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: back from last week and put together a good performance. 7 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:21,560 Speaker 1: Ran the ball, you know, two rushing touch I think 8 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:25,479 Speaker 1: two rushing touchdowns right today, did a great job, you know, 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,800 Speaker 1: saw the field extremely well. I thought offensive line you know, 10 00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,800 Speaker 1: protected him well. And it was good to get Day 11 00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: back as well. But overall, Trevor, Trevor played really well today, Doug. 12 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:39,400 Speaker 2: You're up seven nothing three minutes ago, first quarter, Tennessee 13 00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,960 Speaker 2: goes on a thirteen play drive. They take nine minutes 14 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 2: off the clock, final play, you get the sack. What 15 00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,959 Speaker 2: did that mean to not allow any points during that juncture. 16 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 1: Well, I mean, that's that's really that's really big. It's huge, 17 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: it's a it's a lyft for our team. It was 18 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: great to see our defense do that, you know, and 19 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: get off the field. 20 00:00:57,440 --> 00:00:59,440 Speaker 3: Obviously. It was a lot of plays and they just 21 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,560 Speaker 3: hung in there, you know, and those things really. 22 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: They kind of lift and energize your football team, you know, 23 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: in moments like that. And I thought again, defense today 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: again played out standing. 25 00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 4: We've talked a lot about Ridley. 26 00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:15,240 Speaker 2: Those two passes to him were almost perfect, But how 27 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: good was it to. 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,399 Speaker 5: Get him involved beyond maybe p I s and maybe 29 00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 5: creating for other people? 30 00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was good to get get Calvin 31 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:24,959 Speaker 1: back in there, you know, and get him going again. 32 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:27,320 Speaker 1: You know, I have to look at the film, but 33 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,959 Speaker 1: I think also the addition of Zay possibly could help 34 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: that out a little bit. And those are the things 35 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: we talked about, and but yeah, it was good. You know, 36 00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 1: Calvin played played extremely well today. He kind of let 37 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,319 Speaker 1: the game just kind of unfold before his eyes and 38 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: and really you know, just just ran the routes that 39 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 1: that that you know, Press called and and Trevor did 40 00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 1: the rest.

You know, they always seem 54 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: to work themselves back and and and fight their way back. 55 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:27,840 Speaker 3: You know, when they have a. 56 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,040 Speaker 1: Setback and and they've done it, they did it again 57 00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,480 Speaker 1: today and and you know, hats off to the leadership 58 00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:37,079 Speaker 1: of the football team. And really, you know, each man 59 00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: doing his job and and that's that's the type of 60 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,839 Speaker 1: football that we're capable of play. 61 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 2: I know you said that you last week that you 62 00:02:45,480 --> 00:02:48,200 Speaker 2: were looking forward to coaching this team after that loss 63 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: last week, how do you feel that you and your 64 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 2: staff responded. 65 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 3: Well, I mean sometimes. 66 00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: It's easier after a loss than it is a win. 67 00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: And and and really we all had to kind of 68 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: soul search a little bit. We all had to kind 69 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:02,280 Speaker 1: of look in the mirrors if there were things that 70 00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: we could we could do differently, or I could help 71 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 1: the team differently. And you know how I messaged the 72 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,640 Speaker 1: football team and and really just wanted to keep things simple. 73 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,880 Speaker 1: I didn't want to clutter their mind. I you know, yeah, 74 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: you get you get blown out in a game A 75 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,960 Speaker 1: week ago. But when you really boil it down, it 76 00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,320 Speaker 1: came down to the four giveaways, you know, and and 77 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,520 Speaker 1: and you know, in in the critical situations that we 78 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 1: did last week, we didn't do that today, you know. 79 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 3: And when you do that, you have better success. 80 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,080 Speaker 1: And then and then just you know, finding moments to 81 00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: just uh, I think, just relate to the team, kind 82 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: of bring them, bring them full circle, you know, put 83 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,200 Speaker 1: it back on the leadership of the team, and and 84 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,839 Speaker 1: and let them kind of drive the team a little bit. 85 00:03:39,120 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 8: Doug, can you talk about the decision to go forward 86 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,840 Speaker 8: on fourth down at their forty on the opening drive 87 00:03:43,840 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 8: of the third and then Trevor's touchdown run two plays later. 88 00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 8: I mean, it seemed like you two were just willing 89 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 8: the offense to get into gear, that you'd had enough 90 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,800 Speaker 8: of the stuttering and the stopping and the starting and 91 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:55,720 Speaker 8: the field goals, and you weren't going to have any 92 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 8: more of it. Is that an accurate way to describe it? 93 00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: A little bit? And I felt like it that moment too. 94 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: We were gaining a little a little momentum, are you 95 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 1: referring to it? 96 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 3: Right after they scored the third? Yeah, to keep that 97 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:14,240 Speaker 3: drive alive. 98 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, that was that was just a that was just 99 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:17,600 Speaker 1: something I felt at that. 100 00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 3: Time, just to kind of keep because we we were 101 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 3: moving the ball. Felt good about it. 102 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 6: Again. 103 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,279 Speaker 1: You know, it's when when I showed confidence in the 104 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:28,839 Speaker 1: team and they respawn like that. It it just it 105 00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,360 Speaker 1: just breeds confidence in them. 106 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:32,640 Speaker 3: And and we were. 107 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Able to kind of do that a little bit today 108 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: on some of the fourth downs and and you know, 109 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 1: sustain some of those drives. But that was that was 110 00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,440 Speaker 1: a big one, Uh, to really kind of keep you know, 111 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:43,080 Speaker 1: the foot on the gas a little bit, you know, 112 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: offensively and and you know, just help our team with confidence. 113 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,040 Speaker 7: Doug, did you get a sense in all your conversation 114 00:04:51,120 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 7: with Trevor that when he was hurt with the knee 115 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 7: and he wasn't one hundred percent that it kind of 116 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,560 Speaker 7: bothered him that he couldn't be out there playing at 117 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 7: one hundred percent and doing a lot of the things 118 00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 7: that he did before. 119 00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:03,359 Speaker 3: You know it. 120 00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 1: Just take the name off the injury. It's anybody anybody 121 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 1: that's injured. You know, it bothers people, it bothers you. 122 00:05:12,360 --> 00:05:14,279 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the that's the thing I appreciate about 123 00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,080 Speaker 1: this sport, I mean, and about our team. I mean, guys. 124 00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 1: Guys are going to play a little sore, guys are 125 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:21,360 Speaker 1: gonna play a little beat up, But they do it 126 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: because the one they love their teammates, right, they love 127 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: the game and they're gonna do everything they can to perform. 128 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,279 Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter if it's a quarterback or you know, 129 00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: an outside backer. 130 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 3: It's just. 131 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 1: It's just the willingness, the mental toughness, the physicality that 132 00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: the players have and and and they do it to, 133 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 1: you know, for the teammates. 134 00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:48,600 Speaker 6: Doug, could you just talk a little bit about the 135 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 6: performance of your offensive line, because there's about three or 136 00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 6: four passes today where Trevor kind of needed extra second 137 00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 6: and a half to get to other reads so that 138 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,800 Speaker 6: you could complete some passes. So it just like the 139 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,960 Speaker 6: offensive line from a past pro standpoint, had a good day. 140 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 3: They did, They really did. 141 00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,279 Speaker 1: I think a lot of it too, stem from the 142 00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,520 Speaker 1: fact that we stuck with the run game, so it 143 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:12,240 Speaker 1: helped a little bit in the past past protection world. 144 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:17,799 Speaker 1: But you know, again, it's a prideful group and and 145 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 1: and you know, Walker getting back in there and and 146 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: kind of settling down in his you know, and having 147 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,600 Speaker 1: more reps. He you know, it appeared like he played 148 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: played better today, but as a group against a really 149 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,159 Speaker 1: good defensive front. They played so many five man fronts today, 150 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:36,919 Speaker 1: you know, you're creating all those one on one matchups. 151 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,560 Speaker 1: And our guys did a nice job of hanging in 152 00:06:38,560 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: there and battling. And you know, Trevor doesn't make some 153 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,200 Speaker 1: of those down the field throws if if they don't 154 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:45,080 Speaker 1: give him that extra time. 155 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:46,240 Speaker 3: They played well. 156 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:50,200 Speaker 6: Game plan moving forward to try to get Ezra or. 157 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: There you did that, it's possible, you know, we'll see 158 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 1: how he did and and and keep him coming. I 159 00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,240 Speaker 1: think it's important that we continue to develop him and 160 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 1: in our offense because you never know when you know, 161 00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: we might need him, you know. 162 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:02,320 Speaker 3: Full time. 163 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: So it's possible that we could continue to to work 164 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:06,480 Speaker 1: that a little bit. 165 00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,080 Speaker 5: Doug, congrats on the victory. Uh with the usage of 166 00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:14,400 Speaker 5: Zay Jones, did you were you just trying to like 167 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 5: bring him back in slowly or were you wanting to 168 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 5: use them a little more that you just couldn't? 169 00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,480 Speaker 1: You know, that's the thing that I've learned in this 170 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:26,080 Speaker 1: league that when when players come back from injury, that 171 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: you don't you don't bring them back slowly, they're in 172 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: for a reason and you go full steam ahead. And 173 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: and Jay was ready to go, and he was a 174 00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:36,320 Speaker 1: big part of this today. And you know, he played tough, 175 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 1: he played physical, he made some made some catches today 176 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: and and just really I think it just having his 177 00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 1: presence out there opened up some other things for us, 178 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 1: you know. But but I was proud of Zay for 179 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: you know, again one of the players that has been 180 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,880 Speaker 1: has been injured, but but got himself in a position 181 00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: he was healthy to go and did a nice job today. 182 00:07:56,880 --> 00:08:01,080 Speaker 4: Doug devon Hamilton's scratch today. Is it a healthy scratch 183 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,360 Speaker 4: or did he have a setback? 184 00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 3: What was the No, it was a healthy scratch. 185 00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 1: You know, Listen, I'm not going to get into all 186 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: of it with him because he and I and we've 187 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: had some conversations with him and and all of that, 188 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,320 Speaker 1: but it was it was healthy. I'm I just want 189 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:20,440 Speaker 1: to make sure that he's that he is mentally and physically. 190 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 3: Ready to go. 191 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,240 Speaker 1: You know, as you guys know, we're not going to 192 00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 1: put somebody out there to risk anything further. And and 193 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 1: it was a decision by me to just you know, 194 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:31,520 Speaker 1: to just hold him one week, see where he's at, 195 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,760 Speaker 1: and get him more practice. Time, get him more reps, 196 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: get him, get him, get him back to where where 197 00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: he was a year ago. 198 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,360 Speaker 3: He's missed a lot of time. You understand, he's missed 199 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 3: a lot of time. 200 00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: And and and I think it's definitely taken Obviously it 201 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:45,640 Speaker 1: took a taking a toll a little bit. But but 202 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 1: he's he's busted his tail to be in a position 203 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: to help us. And I think it's going to be 204 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: a week to week decision. But you know, just he 205 00:08:57,040 --> 00:09:00,040 Speaker 1: he he understands, you know where we are, and and 206 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: he appreciated that. 207 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,040 Speaker 3: And we'll see where he's at again this week. 208 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 4: And then just just lastly, real quick, can you talk 209 00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: about the defense's performance and you know, obviously them getting 210 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 4: that fumble, how how big was that to sort of 211 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:12,600 Speaker 4: get the ball rolling? 212 00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: Yeah, the defense, you know, they created the takeaway early 213 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,040 Speaker 1: in the football game. Of course we got the special 214 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 1: teams take away late, you know, the second half. I mean, listen, 215 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: I don't think we talk enough about the defense. You know, 216 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 1: they're the ones that have kept us in the majority 217 00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,320 Speaker 1: of our football games this season, you know, and they 218 00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 1: did a nice job today. Is one of the things 219 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:32,240 Speaker 1: that we knew going in we'd have to you know, 220 00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:36,200 Speaker 1: slow down this run game, you know, and I thought 221 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: for the most part did a nice job control the 222 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And and they played fast. You know, 223 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:42,680 Speaker 1: they played fast today and that was good to see. 224 00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: Our secondary was was on point, They were in the 225 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: right positions. We had a chance to grab a couple 226 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: of balls, you know, and and you know they'll make those. 227 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 1: But you know, Mike Caldwell had a good plan for 228 00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: the guys. The coaches did a nice job preparing the 229 00:09:56,360 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 1: players and they they're a big, big part of this today.
