1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, first I just want to, you know, send 2 00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,240 Speaker 1: out thoughts and prayers to day would Davis, you know, 3 00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: obviously not anything you want to see and just would 4 00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: appreciate that from everybody else too. 5 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: Obviously a tough, tough scene game. 6 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:15,120 Speaker 1: We all love and play, and see a guy go 7 00:00:15,160 --> 00:00:16,560 Speaker 1: down like that, I know we're all thinking about him. 8 00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,880 Speaker 1: I just wanted to say that before we start. But yeah, 9 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,639 Speaker 1: it was what was your question? And I'm sorry just. 10 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:26,239 Speaker 2: About finding a rhythm so quickly tonight. 11 00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:28,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, was there anything you can put your finger on 12 00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:31,120 Speaker 3: as to why you guys were able to get twelve 13 00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,240 Speaker 3: first downs on the first two drives? 14 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 2: Yeah? You guys down? 15 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:39,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you know, it's a combination of a 16 00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 1: lot of things that we did a lot. We changed 17 00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:43,760 Speaker 1: it up, showed a lot of different looks. I think 18 00:00:43,800 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: we had a good plan going in. We had a good, 19 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: good scheme uh this week, and took advantage of some 20 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,519 Speaker 1: stuff that they were giving us and guys in the 21 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,639 Speaker 1: outside did a great job. We ran I mean, really, 22 00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,400 Speaker 1: where it starts is running the ball. We ran the 23 00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,120 Speaker 1: ball great. I don't think in those first two drives 24 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 1: we had any runs really less than three yards. I 25 00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: mean I don't really, I'd have to look that up, 26 00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:05,240 Speaker 1: but I mean, we ran the ball great. And when 27 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:06,560 Speaker 1: you can do that and you can get them on 28 00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:08,480 Speaker 1: their heels and you can run the ball, it really 29 00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:11,520 Speaker 1: opens everything else up. The movement, passes, the drop back, 30 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:14,880 Speaker 1: all that. When they're thinking about the run and stopping 31 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:16,480 Speaker 1: the run, that opens everything else up. 32 00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 2: And that helped us a lot. 33 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: And then our guys in the outside made plays that 34 00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,040 Speaker 1: catch that Calvin made as they had a couple of 35 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:23,840 Speaker 1: nice plays. Christian had a big play on fourth down. 36 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,240 Speaker 1: Like I said, the running backs did a great job. 37 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:28,600 Speaker 1: It was really a complete day for the offense. And 38 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: even beyond those first two drives, the other guys that 39 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: played played great. You know, we hit a couple of 40 00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,960 Speaker 1: shots thought CJ and Nate played really well. The receivers 41 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: made some big plays, still ran the ball well down 42 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,480 Speaker 1: the stretch throughout the rest of the game. 43 00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 2: So it was really good to see. 44 00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 4: Trevor. Could you talk a little bit about the balance. 45 00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 4: On those first two drives, you used every single one 46 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,919 Speaker 4: of your weapons, twenty four plays, one hundred and sixty 47 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,440 Speaker 4: four yards. Could you just tuckle it is that pretty 48 00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 4: much how you wanted to look for everybody gets involved, 49 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,360 Speaker 4: it's not just relying on one or two guys. 50 00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's ideal obviously. I mean when you when you 51 00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,280 Speaker 1: when you game plan and you go into a game, 52 00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,360 Speaker 1: obviously there's certain matchups you might want to take advantage of, 53 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: but ideally you kind of spread the wealth. You get 54 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 1: everybody involved, You use all the guys that we have 55 00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: because we have so many playmakers. And it doesn't always 56 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: go that way, as we know in the in the season, 57 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,639 Speaker 1: things can turn out differently in games. 58 00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:20,959 Speaker 2: You just do whatever you can to win. 59 00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 1: But today it worked that way, and that's that's always 60 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 1: good when it does. It's good to give get everybody involved, 61 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: and I think the guy has played great. 62 00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 3: Trevor, you talk a lot over the last several months 63 00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 3: about building that relationship with Calvin and starting to get 64 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,800 Speaker 3: more comfortable with him, and then you go and the 65 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 3: Blitz is coming and you find him just through camp, 66 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,800 Speaker 3: through all of the time that you've had to spend 67 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 3: with him. Just how confident are you in that relationship 68 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,960 Speaker 3: as you guys enter week one in a few. 69 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:52,760 Speaker 1: Weeks, really really comfortable confident. It's you know, me and 70 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:55,240 Speaker 1: Zay were talking on the sideline it's just about you know, 71 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,960 Speaker 1: we're we're in a really good spot. I think we 72 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: really attacked training camp. We got better on both sides 73 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,440 Speaker 1: of the ball, special teams, really you name every position. 74 00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 2: Uh. 75 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: But as we all know, it's a long season and 76 00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,679 Speaker 1: we got to keep getting better and we got to 77 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: keep you know, staying hungry and just keep making the 78 00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 1: improvements that we've made up until this point. But I 79 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,840 Speaker 1: love where we're at. I love the relationship me and 80 00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: Calvin have. I think that chemistry is becoming really strong, 81 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,960 Speaker 1: and he's doing a great job. He's worked super hard 82 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,480 Speaker 1: that those of you guys that have watched practice, I mean, 83 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,040 Speaker 1: the guy works really really hard and he deserves it. 84 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 2: So I'm happy for him. 85 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 1: I'm happy that things are going well, and I'm just excited, 86 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: excited to have him out there, Excited to have say 87 00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: Christian Evan Trave. I mean, just you could just go 88 00:03:34,560 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: on and on and on, but he's doing a great job. 89 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: Talk about Luke Farrell, he's blocking protection. 90 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:51,200 Speaker 2: Yeah, Luke is. 91 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,120 Speaker 1: Luke's a great player. We came in together. He's just 92 00:03:54,160 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: really versatile. He can do a lot of different things. 93 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: He's a great blocker, run pass game, you name it, 94 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: whichever one. And then in the passing game, he's really smart. 95 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,760 Speaker 1: I think he's really smart and knowing coverages in zone coverage, 96 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,560 Speaker 1: knowing where to sit, where to post up. I mean, 97 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: he just does a great job and you saw some 98 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 1: of that tonight and did a nice job after the 99 00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 1: catch too. You know, I was able to get vertical 100 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 1: and get some extra yards and that's such a huge 101 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:18,080 Speaker 1: part of this game, as yards after catch. If you 102 00:04:18,080 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 1: can get if you can get the ball in space 103 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,280 Speaker 1: to your guys quick and let them make plays, that 104 00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,080 Speaker 1: helps us a lot. 105 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,240 Speaker 2: And our guys did a great job with that. 106 00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 4: Not that you're not confident forevor, but was it important 107 00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: to have a couple of good drives early with the 108 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:31,599 Speaker 4: emphasis on starting fast this year? 109 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: Definitely, I mean that was you know, you look back 110 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 1: in our season last year. That was definitely a weaker 111 00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: spot for us is starting games slow and having to 112 00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 1: having to you know, play lights out in the second 113 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:44,600 Speaker 1: half because we started slow and put our defense in 114 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,840 Speaker 1: a buying So that's that's a big improvement. Obviously we 115 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,719 Speaker 1: got to carry that over in two weeks when we 116 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 1: play but yeah, that was that was awesome to see. 117 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,200 Speaker 1: And then even in Dallas. You know, the first game 118 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:56,719 Speaker 1: again had the turnover and started slow there. So to 119 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: be able to make those improvements and just stay on schedule, 120 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean it was like every play we were able 121 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,479 Speaker 1: to keep it, you know, second and five, second and 122 00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: two whatever it was. It was we never behind the chains, 123 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,279 Speaker 1: really and that was that was huge. 124 00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 5: Kind of following up on that, Can you put your 125 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 5: finger on why you guys have been able to start 126 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 5: faster or why tonight and then just throughout the training 127 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 5: camp and everything, you guys were able to start faster. 128 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,080 Speaker 5: I know, you guys got to still play in the 129 00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,400 Speaker 5: regular season, but it seems like that's not only a 130 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 5: point of infhasis, but actually being executed. 131 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 2: There's a lot of different factors. 132 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,400 Speaker 1: You know, some stuff obviously last year happens where we 133 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: just don't execute. Maybe I miss a throw, you know, 134 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,080 Speaker 1: miss a block, whatever it is. Different things happen on 135 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: different drives that constall you or a penalty or whatever, 136 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 1: and you know, tonight we just played cleaner. You know, 137 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: we didn't have many penalties, especially in those first two drives. 138 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 1: I thought the guys were really locked in and just 139 00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,640 Speaker 1: it's all about attacking from that first snap. And really 140 00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,919 Speaker 1: setting the tone. I think that that's the mindset that 141 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,359 Speaker 1: we've been trying to instill since OTA's and it's obviously working, 142 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,960 Speaker 1: and we just got to keep keep pressing that emphasis. 143 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 5: Does that sort of speak to the maturity of the offense? 144 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: I mean, you guys are all now, you know, year 145 00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,880 Speaker 5: three for you, year seven for other players. Just does 146 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 5: it speak to how mature you guys are within this offense? 147 00:06:11,920 --> 00:06:15,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it shows just you know, how well 148 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: we work together and also that we're willing to, you know, 149 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,479 Speaker 1: work on the things that we might not have been 150 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: great at last year. I think that says a lot 151 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: about a unit. And I've seen that on both sides 152 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: of the ball.
