WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford

0:00:00.400 --> 0:00:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, And there's been a lot of fun this

0:00:08.520 --> 0:00:10.680
<v Speaker 1>week about to Marco when he's carriage. Have you had

0:00:10.680 --> 0:00:14.360
<v Speaker 1>a chase to talk to him at all? Um? Yeah, yeah,

0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean I talked to him every day. Um. But

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it's part of it. I think,

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>you know, I've known DeMarco for a long time, and

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, he's, um, you know, a competitor

0:00:26.520 --> 0:00:28.520
<v Speaker 1>in every sense of the work. And you know, I

0:00:28.520 --> 0:00:30.200
<v Speaker 1>think he wants to be on the field. He wants

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:33.280
<v Speaker 1>to feel like he's contributing. He wants to touch the ball,

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:35.360
<v Speaker 1>and so you know, I think when that doesn't happen,

0:00:35.360 --> 0:00:37.840
<v Speaker 1>he gets disappointed. But you know, at the same time,

0:00:37.880 --> 0:00:40.080
<v Speaker 1>he's a great teammate and uh, you know, he was

0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.879
<v Speaker 1>happy on Sunday that we won, and I think obviously

0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:45.920
<v Speaker 1>he was just a little bit frustrated in his own

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:48.839
<v Speaker 1>performance running one of these checks that did it kid?

0:00:48.960 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>You know one of the theories about kids lack of

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:57.760
<v Speaker 1>except last except is here way you guys said by Um,

0:00:57.800 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, I really don't know. I've never played running back.

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:08.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm not really sure with college. Yeah, um right, Um,

0:01:08.680 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, I don't know. You know, I think you

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:12.120
<v Speaker 1>would have to ask him. I'm sure that he'd be

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.600
<v Speaker 1>able to tell you a little bit more in depth

0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.319
<v Speaker 1>on what I could. You know, I know it's different,

0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:19.959
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think, you know, there's probably an adjustment

0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.320
<v Speaker 1>period and you know he might be still going through that.

0:01:24.800 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 1>What's up? Um? You know from every conversation I've had

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.440
<v Speaker 1>with him, UM, you know, he hasn't said anything otherwise.

0:01:32.560 --> 0:01:34.960
<v Speaker 1>But like I said, you'd have to ask him and

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:37.360
<v Speaker 1>he would have to answer that for you. Are you

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 1>surprised the number of what they were? Like, I think

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>we have to set your way a crazy year, not

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:50.720
<v Speaker 1>closer to that. Um. You know, I think it's hard

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.800
<v Speaker 1>to compare year to year. You know, it's a different team,

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.520
<v Speaker 1>it's a different situation. His role is different in this

0:01:56.640 --> 0:02:00.320
<v Speaker 1>offense than it was last year. Um. Obviously that year

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>he had a great year. You know, he's still a

0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 1>great player even though his numbers aren't the same. But

0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>I think it's really difficult. I think you're kind of

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.079
<v Speaker 1>comparing apples to oranges when you look at those two

0:02:10.080 --> 0:02:14.120
<v Speaker 1>different sets of numbers. How do you keep this becoming

0:02:14.160 --> 0:02:20.839
<v Speaker 1>a distraction? Is a distraction? Um, you know, I don't

0:02:20.880 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>pay attention to it. I think there's a lot of

0:02:22.320 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>guys in that locker room who don't pay attention to it.

0:02:24.919 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 1>You know, he came in today, you know, it's his

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:29.880
<v Speaker 1>typical self, had a great practice, worked hard. You know,

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.320
<v Speaker 1>there was nothing said at practice, There's nothing that's been

0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:34.480
<v Speaker 1>said in our meetings. You know, it really hasn't been

0:02:34.480 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 1>an issue for us so far. See what does it

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.160
<v Speaker 1>you even through your injuries this year, that you still

0:02:41.200 --> 0:02:43.280
<v Speaker 1>have a chance to win this division and it's right

0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>there in front of be the opportunity this last month. Yeah, yeah,

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I touched on a little bit after the

0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.840
<v Speaker 1>game on Sunday, But obviously we would like our record

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.960
<v Speaker 1>to be much better than it is right now. But

0:02:54.520 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, given where we are in the season, you know,

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.519
<v Speaker 1>to be tied for the lead in the division, you know,

0:02:59.560 --> 0:03:02.080
<v Speaker 1>and to real control our own destiny these last four weeks,

0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that's all you can ask for the ling

0:03:05.840 --> 0:03:08.280
<v Speaker 1>game now. You know last week you had the location

0:03:08.800 --> 0:03:17.840
<v Speaker 1>three guys, Now what do you know running? Um? You know,

0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>I think the great thing about that is, you know

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:21.840
<v Speaker 1>we've got four guys we feel really comfortable hand on

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.079
<v Speaker 1>the ball too, and it keeps those guys fresh. You know,

0:03:24.120 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 1>if we can play the way we want to play,

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>which is up tempo, and get our play count, you know,

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.919
<v Speaker 1>upper seventies into the eighties, and keep those guys fresh,

0:03:32.280 --> 0:03:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, hopefully in the third and fourth quarter, you know,

0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 1>when they're starting to wear down. You know, we're continuing

0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.000
<v Speaker 1>to put those guys in and they're coming in and

0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:42.000
<v Speaker 1>running hard and you know, staying a little bit fresher

0:03:42.080 --> 0:03:44.040
<v Speaker 1>because you were starting to see that, I mean before

0:03:44.120 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>you got hurted, before Ryan got hurt right now, but

0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:56.720
<v Speaker 1>um yeah, I mean four is better than two, right

0:03:58.080 --> 0:04:05.119
<v Speaker 1>you shoulder do anything? Um yeah, we're in a little

0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>bit extra padding on that left shoulder right now. Joke.

0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>I think you joke. You don't even know who you're

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 1>getting you off. Yeah. They also they just doing different

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:21.600
<v Speaker 1>heights and different coming at you. I really that's irrelevant

0:04:21.760 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>to you. I mean it is a little bit different obviously.

0:04:24.520 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>DeMarco and Sprowls are a little bit different size. Um.

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.440
<v Speaker 1>I think I do notice before the boy who I'm

0:04:29.480 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>handing the ball too. Um but I think you know,

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.240
<v Speaker 1>it did take me a while when I first got here,

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>because you know, Sproles comes in there and you really

0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:39.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of have to lower the mesh point. But uh no,

0:04:40.279 --> 0:04:41.760
<v Speaker 1>that's a fun play with all those guys when they

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:48.200
<v Speaker 1>rotate like that kind of challenges just buffo. Um. You

0:04:48.279 --> 0:04:50.400
<v Speaker 1>know it's a big test for us this week. You know,

0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>they're really good defense. You know. I think one of

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:54.600
<v Speaker 1>the biggest things is, you know, we've got to be

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.039
<v Speaker 1>able to keep ourselves ahead of the chains. You know,

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>we can't have penalties. You know, we can't have negative

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:01.880
<v Speaker 1>ways and put ourselves behind the chains because you know,

0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>I think once you get into third and long, I

0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.599
<v Speaker 1>mean they're going to come after you. It's heavy, heavy pressure,

0:05:06.760 --> 0:05:08.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, force you to get the ball out and

0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>then they try to rally and tackle before the sticks.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So um, you know we've got to control their front,

0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be on top of their blitzes. When they

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:19.120
<v Speaker 1>do decide to pressure us, you know we've got to

0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:20.839
<v Speaker 1>beat that and try to get them out of it.

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Three days when those numbers. For you, what's what's the different, um?

0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:32.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, I think just getting more comfortable, not forcing things, Um,

0:05:32.040 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, going through my progressions, you know, not sticking

0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.039
<v Speaker 1>on one or two, you know, checking the ball down

0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:38.880
<v Speaker 1>if I have to, you know, and just trying not

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>to put our team in bad positions, says you were

0:05:44.640 --> 0:05:46.720
<v Speaker 1>your numbers. You worried at it taking the ball over

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>a while. Yeah, you had some early Yeah, you know,

0:05:57.360 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>it was something that I was trying to figure out

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.599
<v Speaker 1>because I've never been someone to throw a lot of

0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:06.240
<v Speaker 1>interceptions and so that was new to me. And you know,

0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:09.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it was a variety of things. You know,

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.000
<v Speaker 1>I missed some throws that you know ended up being picked.

0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:15.960
<v Speaker 1>You know, I made some bad decisions, um yeah, and

0:06:15.960 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>there were a few miss I mean it was all

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.960
<v Speaker 1>over the place. So um, you know, hopefully you know,

0:06:21.000 --> 0:06:23.520
<v Speaker 1>we can continue to eliminate those Is this I mean,

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:26.920
<v Speaker 1>well you put the last couple of games before you

0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.240
<v Speaker 1>got her last week. Is this is a guy who

0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:35.280
<v Speaker 1>here comes the fourth for you? Um? I hope. So,

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you know, I felt like, before you know,

0:06:38.800 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 1>the injury a couple of years ago, I was playing

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.839
<v Speaker 1>really well, and you know, I feel like before the

0:06:42.880 --> 0:06:44.560
<v Speaker 1>injury this year I was kind of coming back into

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:47.479
<v Speaker 1>that form. And so hopefully I can you know, continue

0:06:47.600 --> 0:06:50.560
<v Speaker 1>to build on that bit off topic, but you might

0:06:50.600 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>have a highs and trophy build. Who's your foot? I

0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>actually I voted for Baker Mayfield. Um yeah, yeah, he's

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.200
<v Speaker 1>a fellow suit or you got to vote for the Sooners.

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 1>And you know, I thought he had a great year

0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:04.400
<v Speaker 1>this year, and you know, I thought he was deserving.

0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:07.039
<v Speaker 1>I think it's a little bit unfortunate that he didn't

0:07:07.040 --> 0:07:13.440
<v Speaker 1>get invited to New York. Um. It's actually it was

0:07:13.440 --> 0:07:15.200
<v Speaker 1>at my parents' house for a while, and I think

0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>now it's in my office at my house. Everything the

0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:27.480
<v Speaker 1>stories you tell about happy um My mom used it

0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:31.000
<v Speaker 1>as kind of like a centerpiece on the dining room

0:07:31.040 --> 0:07:34.200
<v Speaker 1>table for a long time because she didn't have anywhere

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.000
<v Speaker 1>else to put it, and so it stayed there for

0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:41.080
<v Speaker 1>a while, and then I think there were like kind

0:07:41.080 --> 0:07:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of decorations around it. But then she finally got tired

0:07:43.440 --> 0:07:45.080
<v Speaker 1>of it and took it brought it to my house.

0:07:47.920 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>It's in Oklahoma, I know, I know, I know, a

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>little bit unfortunate. Hopefully we can get a Sooner in

0:07:55.720 --> 0:08:01.840
<v Speaker 1>there next year. YEA, thank you guys. Zero
