WEBVTT - Trent Williams Discusses Return to the Field in Week 10 | Press Pass

0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:01.400
<v Speaker 1>Private. Would you be able to play?

0:00:01.680 --> 0:00:03.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I wasn't. Like I said I was. It was

0:00:03.560 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 2>truly questionable. And I know a lot of people say that.

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:09.840
<v Speaker 2>And you know, over the years of my career, every

0:00:09.840 --> 0:00:12.639
<v Speaker 2>time I've been questionable, I pretty much ended up playing.

0:00:12.680 --> 0:00:16.319
<v Speaker 2>So I noticed what you guys expected. I wanted to play.

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:21.119
<v Speaker 2>But like I said, I mean Thursday and Friday went okay,

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:25.759
<v Speaker 2>it didn't go as well as I expected. So it

0:00:25.800 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 2>was truly questionable. I mean I just you know, long flight,

0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:31.760
<v Speaker 2>you know, babe, A couple couple of days. Friday got

0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 2>some rehab, Saturday got some good rehab, and you know,

0:00:35.120 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 2>to today, I decided to give it a go.

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.880
<v Speaker 1>Ankle flights or yeah what what? What exactly this?

0:00:41.960 --> 0:00:46.479
<v Speaker 2>That? Uh? Just compression what we call game ready, you know,

0:00:47.800 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 2>so you know you put a little cold compression on it.

0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 2>You try to keep the fluid out.

0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>Nah. How do you feel you came out of the

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:53.599
<v Speaker 1>game flight?

0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.560
<v Speaker 2>Uh, I don't think I took a step back, So

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.720
<v Speaker 2>you know, I don't definitely didn't get any better, but

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:03.920
<v Speaker 2>you know, think no close seventy five to eighty percent.

0:01:03.960 --> 0:01:06.400
<v Speaker 2>I think I'm feel still still around there.

0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:06.679
<v Speaker 1>Good.

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.400
<v Speaker 2>How when you block or somebody's coming to your side,

0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:12.080
<v Speaker 2>how do you knock cringe that the man just roll

0:01:12.120 --> 0:01:16.199
<v Speaker 2>up right behind it. I just run hard as I can.

0:01:16.440 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 2>And I know if I if I'm not running, it's

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.600
<v Speaker 2>a good chance I get rolled up. But if I

0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:24.959
<v Speaker 2>just get out there and run, you know, still a

0:01:24.959 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 2>good chance. It's still a chance you get rolled up,

0:01:26.640 --> 0:01:28.959
<v Speaker 2>but less likely in keeping your feet moving. So I

0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 2>just try to especially when I'm out front, I could

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.240
<v Speaker 2>tell the ball carriers behind me. I just try to

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 2>run and applot pressure on the on the whoever that

0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:39.280
<v Speaker 2>that defender is, and you know, hopefully running back and

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>make a miss and avoid me getting rolled.

0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.120
<v Speaker 1>Up on coming around.

0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.400
<v Speaker 2>No, uh huh, it's kind of weird cause you know, uh,

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 2>thirty one turn around and ran. I ain't never seen that,

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:55.520
<v Speaker 2>so but yeah, I I didn't. I knew he was

0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:57.680
<v Speaker 2>close because I could just tell the reaction of the

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 2>guy in front of me, you know. But anytime I

0:02:01.280 --> 0:02:03.800
<v Speaker 2>feel so comfortable with two, three or nineteen out there

0:02:03.840 --> 0:02:05.720
<v Speaker 2>in the open fields, like, I just gotta get in

0:02:05.760 --> 0:02:08.240
<v Speaker 2>a way long enough for them to make a decision.

0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:10.839
<v Speaker 2>And once nineteen gets ahead of steam, it's really tough

0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:11.400
<v Speaker 2>to bring 'em down.

0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:15.000
<v Speaker 1>To take. I think it was huge. I think it

0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>was huge.

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 2>Losing fourth straight would have been you know, I think

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 2>a lot of a lot of people would have wanted

0:02:20.720 --> 0:02:23.519
<v Speaker 2>to turn the panic lights on or you know, could

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:23.959
<v Speaker 2>have had.

0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Our proverbial back against the wall.

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:28.240
<v Speaker 2>So I think, uh, coming out getting this win on

0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.760
<v Speaker 2>the road against a really good team that's been rolling, uh,

0:02:30.840 --> 0:02:34.000
<v Speaker 2>really good defense, really good players all around the field,

0:02:35.080 --> 0:02:36.480
<v Speaker 2>you know, to come out here and get it, get

0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 2>a good win, I think it's definitely what we needed.

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 1>Is that why it's so important for you to play

0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it at this point weekend?

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 2>But it was you want to play in this particular

0:02:43.800 --> 0:02:46.000
<v Speaker 2>game so that you could keep those pay off.

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:46.520
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:48.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and then I miss it, man, I miss it,

0:02:48.720 --> 0:02:51.000
<v Speaker 2>And hadn't you know, obviously been out there last c

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.840
<v Speaker 2>not being out there last couple of weeks and you know, uh,

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 2>not being able to to contribute help my team, really

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 2>it really sucks.

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:58.560
<v Speaker 1>And then you feel feel.

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>Useless around the building, you know, when you're not out there, uh,

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.040
<v Speaker 2>contributing in a physical way.

0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, it was important for me to get out there.

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.520
<v Speaker 2>And I told coach a week ago, if I got

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:11.640
<v Speaker 2>to seventy percent seventy five percent. I think I I

0:03:11.720 --> 0:03:13.919
<v Speaker 2>was gonna give it a shot, you know, and it it,

0:03:14.120 --> 0:03:15.880
<v Speaker 2>like I said, it was tough. I hadn't had any

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 2>physical contact since Cleveland, so you know, I really been

0:03:20.120 --> 0:03:22.480
<v Speaker 2>on the shelf for the last month, and you know,

0:03:22.520 --> 0:03:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I still ain't We wasn't able to get any physical contact

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:27.919
<v Speaker 2>and practice cause obviously, you know, we were just wanting

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:29.480
<v Speaker 2>to see how it felt to get out and run.

0:03:29.600 --> 0:03:32.680
<v Speaker 1>So you know today, Uh, I knew it. I knew

0:03:32.680 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>it would be tough.

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 2>I knew I'd be rusty, cause obviously you can't just

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.680
<v Speaker 2>wake up after a month off and go out there

0:03:38.720 --> 0:03:39.880
<v Speaker 2>and pick up where you left off.

0:03:39.920 --> 0:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>So you.

0:03:42.680 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Were going to line today, how do you feel like

0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 2>his preparation was during the week and how do you

0:03:46.640 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 2>how do you feel like you performed out today?

0:03:48.400 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Uh? I felt like he performed well.

0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Like I said, I gotta watch the film to actually

0:03:53.120 --> 0:03:56.200
<v Speaker 2>get a you know, give you a a my honest opinion,

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 2>but from what from what it felt I got there,

0:03:58.920 --> 0:03:59.840
<v Speaker 2>I felt like he played well.

0:03:59.800 --> 0:04:01.160
<v Speaker 1>I'm I mean, Feliciano is a vet.

0:04:01.240 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 2>He's not somebody who just you know, we signed off

0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 2>the street to undrafted rookie Es so like he he's

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:10.480
<v Speaker 2>there for depth. He's there for situations like this cause

0:04:10.480 --> 0:04:12.800
<v Speaker 2>we know he can come in and still give high

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.400
<v Speaker 2>caliber left guard play, or or center play, or right

0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:16.160
<v Speaker 2>guard for that matter.

0:04:16.880 --> 0:04:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Alight, m all right,
