WEBVTT - Press Pass: Sam Bradford

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:04.440
<v Speaker 1>Sam, it's your first w a a long time. It

0:00:04.440 --> 0:00:07.600
<v Speaker 1>feels good. Um. Obviously, that's a really good football team.

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:09.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, to come on the road and get a

0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>win today, you know, a tough win. You know, our

0:00:11.360 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>defense did a great job today keeping us in the game. Um.

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:17.439
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's just a great win for the team. Sam.

0:00:17.840 --> 0:00:20.040
<v Speaker 1>That's tough teams to throw against. Obviously. What were some

0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>of the struggles that you guys had growing Um, you know,

0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:25.480
<v Speaker 1>like you said, they're a good defense, UM, and I

0:00:25.520 --> 0:00:27.560
<v Speaker 1>thought they matched up with us well today. You know,

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I missed a few throws. I think we had a

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>few drops, you know, just uh, you know, a couple

0:00:31.480 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>of different things, you know, on different different drives that

0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>kind of set us back. Um. But you know, like

0:00:36.880 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>I said, I don't think there was anything major. I'm

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:40.640
<v Speaker 1>really proud of the way we fought, you know, to

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:42.640
<v Speaker 1>get that win, to hang in there, to fight. You know,

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>that's huge for us right now. In the first two weeks,

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>you played from behind, today played with the league. What

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:49.920
<v Speaker 1>was that like for you? UM? I like that. You know,

0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.319
<v Speaker 1>hopefully we can continue to do that. It's a lot

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>more fun to play from ahead than it is behind. Um.

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, obviously we just gotta figure out a way, uh,

0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:00.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, when we get those leads to continue to

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:02.200
<v Speaker 1>put drives together in the second half. Obviously, that was

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:04.360
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a struggle for us today. Um, you know,

0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.600
<v Speaker 1>so hopefully we can learn from that and continue to build,

0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, on those Bill routes. I know, you know,

0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.520
<v Speaker 1>Matthew's dropped one, but the touchdowns, you know, similar type

0:01:12.520 --> 0:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>of play. Because that's something you saw it, you probably

0:01:14.959 --> 0:01:17.240
<v Speaker 1>kind of take a batch of. Yeah, you know, we

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.480
<v Speaker 1>felt the way they were playing Matthews in the game.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:21.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a lot of man coverage and you know,

0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.480
<v Speaker 1>a couple of those looks we gotta matched up on

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.319
<v Speaker 1>a linebacker, and you know, the past couple of games

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we'd ran a lot of routes with him going to

0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>the flat, and so we figured they'd be hard on

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:33.399
<v Speaker 1>the flats and then you know, it looks very similar

0:01:33.400 --> 0:01:35.080
<v Speaker 1>and then he just wheels up. Um, you know, and

0:01:35.120 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 1>it worked pretty well today. What are your reasons for

0:01:38.240 --> 0:01:40.640
<v Speaker 1>taking it seemed to be more snaps under the center

0:01:41.360 --> 0:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>this week? Um, I'm not sure you'd have to ask coach. Um,

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:47.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think it gets the run game probably

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>a little more downhill. You know, that's how Ryan likes

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:52.960
<v Speaker 1>to run. You know, that's the only thing that really

0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 1>comes to my mind. Um, but you'd have to ask him.

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:00.760
<v Speaker 1>Running game established today, you know how much? Huge? Huge? Um.

0:02:01.120 --> 0:02:02.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, it was great in the first half to

0:02:02.480 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>get those guys rolling. You know, I thought they ran

0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>really hard, that the line did a great job opening holes. Um.

0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.119
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's a good front seven that we just play,

0:02:10.240 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, to be able to come out and run

0:02:11.560 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the ball the way we did in the first half,

0:02:13.200 --> 0:02:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you know that that's really big for us for a

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 1>team's confidence as far as you know, maybe starting to

0:02:18.800 --> 0:02:21.120
<v Speaker 1>strink here. I think it can do a lot, you know,

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 1>especially for us. You know, I feel like the first

0:02:22.840 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>couple of weeks there was just a lot of pressure

0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.760
<v Speaker 1>on us. I feel like we're all pressing a little bit.

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>You know. It's just nice to get that first one

0:02:28.320 --> 0:02:30.480
<v Speaker 1>and now that pressure is gone. You know, like I said,

0:02:30.480 --> 0:02:32.519
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't perfect today. Um. You know, there's gonna be

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:34.400
<v Speaker 1>things that we need to correct, but you know, I

0:02:34.440 --> 0:02:36.440
<v Speaker 1>think this is a great building block for this team.

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:39.240
<v Speaker 1>We've had a chance now to see Darren Sprowls up

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.240
<v Speaker 1>close and personal, but these few much thoughts on what

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>makes them such a special player. Oh, just as versatility. Um,

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:47.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, what he's able to do in the backfield,

0:02:47.639 --> 0:02:49.360
<v Speaker 1>what he's able to do in the slot. You know,

0:02:49.360 --> 0:02:51.799
<v Speaker 1>obviously his punt returns to day. You know that was

0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:54.320
<v Speaker 1>a big momentum swing in the game. Uh. There's just

0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.280
<v Speaker 1>so many different things that he does really well. You know,

0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.600
<v Speaker 1>we can utilize him in so many different ways. I

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.200
<v Speaker 1>don't think there's a lot of guys in the league

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:04.360
<v Speaker 1>that you know can do that. You'd already tell you

0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>that you were yelling completely the sent of the passing

0:03:07.000 --> 0:03:09.840
<v Speaker 1>So I had to turnovers? How would you eat before

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 1>the get How do you feel about it? You know

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:15.800
<v Speaker 1>it now? Uh? Good and bad? Yeah, obviously the turnovers.

0:03:16.200 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 1>You know something that we talked a lot about this week.

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:20.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, this defense had ten takeaways in the first

0:03:20.639 --> 0:03:22.760
<v Speaker 1>two weeks. You know, for us to have I think

0:03:22.760 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>one giveaway today, Um, you know that's big. Um. You know,

0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.600
<v Speaker 1>obviously passing game, we just gotta be a little bit

0:03:28.600 --> 0:03:30.919
<v Speaker 1>more efficient. More guys, what are they doing to take

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:34.080
<v Speaker 1>away the d ball? Seem like you try to him,

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm um, yeah, I think they've got some great players

0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.360
<v Speaker 1>on the outside. Um, you know, I think once we

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>got the lead today, it was just kind of the

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.800
<v Speaker 1>way the game went. No wheel route, we hit on

0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>Matthews behind the linebacker. You have a guys screaming at you.

0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>It took quite a hit. Did you see it open

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.320
<v Speaker 1>right away? And just trying to anticipate what happened later? Uh,

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I saw the way the linebacker was playing,

0:03:58.640 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and like I said, I felt like he was playing

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.720
<v Speaker 1>in the flat. You know, I think Ryan did a

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>great job to avoid him and get outside of him.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:06.120
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, and I knew that the position that

0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:08.720
<v Speaker 1>the linebacker was in, Ryan could outrun him. So just

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:09.960
<v Speaker 1>try to put it out there and let him go

0:04:09.960 --> 0:04:16.039
<v Speaker 1>get it. The ball that was bounced off of Ryan

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.279
<v Speaker 1>in the flat, that was sort of a quick a drop.

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Was he going to wheel past him up the sideline

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>at that point to the vacated area or not? No,

0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.799
<v Speaker 1>that was just a flat. Yeah,
