Proud of How the Guys Came Out | Media Availability

QB Will Levis we were clean with our operation top to bottom was proud of how the guys went out there and played and it was awesome to see some guys step up and uh and make some plays but just really happy with how it went and obviously getting the dub 3 and0 in the preseason we know it doesn't you know mean anything necessarily but it means something to us and it feels good how big was for you to be able to connect tile and that deep outbreak really you know that other time how big was it was good felt comfortable back there you know everything was happening in Rhythm and in time uh Tyler did a good job separating and Calvin the same thing too uh felt like we were on the same page was good [Music] feeling now the reg season and knowing that this locker room is going lose probably about 37 guys here over the next 24 that's crazy I mean it's the business of the game you know it's it's been constantly letting people know like as the days have wound down like this is this is our last final moment kind of together as a full group all of us and then they're going to have to make those tough decisions on Tuesday and you know we're wishing everyone the best we obviously can't keep everyone but you know we got a bunch of dogs in here from top to bottom and I know if they don't work out with us they're going to find somewhere else to to make an opportunity I know coaches talk about completion percentage I think you finished 11 of 13 in this preseason you got to be pretty excited about where that number was at yeah I just felt like completions were out there and I was taking them um feel really good about where I'm at and just got to take the easy ones when they're there and like I keep saying not not getting board taking the Bing uh completion so I feel like we did a good job as an offense not passing things up and uh just getting getting the ball in play did anything change for you today about how you feel about this team about yourself like did they change anything I mean it's just you know improve the confidence that we already had and I think coming out of here with the win uh just makes us all feel great and seeing guys step up and make plays and getting guys the ball that really hadn't been able to get the ball uh in those situations yet in games at least so it was good to kind of get those pieces the offense out there uh give people some content to to study for our offense and we just like said so proud of how the guys came out and and worked top to bottom chance to say to Thomas just about his play the first oh my gosh I was I was freaking out with him running down the sideline into the locker room it was incredible all I saw was Nick running and I was like no way Nick's catching him and I kind of looked away I didn't even realize Thomas chugging down I was I was telling him reminding me of the the Ben Watson play against Denver years back uh just that is heart uh you know in in one play and then that's a guy who comes to work every day and you know Relentless effort and that's when it pays off it just take it day by day I DT T'Vondre Sweat mean I give every play 100% you know what I mean and when I go out there have the opportunity to showcase my skills I just play the best I can be for my teammates how excited are you about what's next um I'm very excited um just getting ready to prepare for the uh first uh away game in Chicago can't wait it's going to be another opportunity to play football fun to watch at the end how it unfolded winning this game late and and what you guys did in the preseason say that again how how cool is the way you guys finish this game and finish the pre-season it was great I mean like I say we all take it day by day and we prepar for those type of moments just finish finish finish and we not we went out there and finished now that you have your first Camp behind you what are some of you know the things areas that where you feel you really took a step forward you know moving to the league um my first Camp it went great uh it actually went great just because I had those letters in front of me like Dave Jeff cob I had all those guys to show me the way how a Camp's supposed to be so I I just give all credit to those guys for uh helping me and preparing me for the uh my first rookie Camp what about the mental aspect like everything you you went through all my all my mental stuff man I give a big shout out to my mom man cuz I call her every day I talk to my mom every day and every day not gonna be great for nobody you know what I mean and just for me to get over those situations I just called my mom talk to her and stuff like that I think it's QB Malik Willis been awesome uh even just from the spring just seeing him grow and uh just absorb the offense absorb the information that coach has been uh getting across to all of us and I think it's just been great to see him grow and uh make plays how would you feel like you've improved your third camp and under new coaching staff I think I'm just trying to take it day by day and continue to just work hard and try to handle any mishaps and learn from it and uh just continue to try to grow each day you've been through this before what what's your kind of mindset now as as oration kind of heads towards some tough decisions uh it's out of my hands I mean more than anything I'm just controlling what I can control as far as all that goes and just try to do my best to put some good stuff on tape was today a confidence boost for you do you feel better after kind of pulling off that comeback or kind of steady for you I think we just you know taking one play at a time and try to go out there and execute uh it's three different quarterbacks plan so you can't look at it like a true game you just try to take what reps you get and do your best on them so how did you to handle it mentally going in for that last drive with two minutes left uh just try to go out there and uh we're already in field goal range but we need four points so I understand that we had four downs try not to make any stupid decisions try to keep some completions and just execute the plays that were called what did it mean to you if they kept calling designed runs kept the ball in your hand over and over again I didn't I just you know execute what plays called in I don't try to overthink on it uh the opportunities there I try to do what I can to help the team I mean obviously TE Thomas Odukoya attempted a long field goal there uh prior to the play saw it was a returner back there so after we kicked it knew we had to go cover I was on the left side um trying to set an edge trying to contain my side of the field he rote to R right um started running started running uh felt the cut back felt like I didn't have the chance I was close but I knew I have to keep running keep running uh they slowed down they to play at the three yard line um awesome there to stop them not give up a touchdown right before half keep our momentum on our side and uh yeah no it was important for the game you got SW by teammates what would the guys tell you about it what coach May to you man they were excited um coach before the game said one word that we have to all think about today's finish uh and that play kind of just exemplified that uh leaving it all out on the field last preseason game uh guys like me fighting for a roster spot so uh wanted to leave it all out there my teammates obviously in in the moment knew how big that play was you know that's we thought we were going to get three points with the field goal attempt and then all of a sudden it looks like that they're about to get seven points so that was a huge momentum swing uh so luckily to prevent that and is that kind of what you wanted to be about since you've been here oh yeah yeah of course not um I wanted to show this team and all the other teams you know I I care about this team so much and I'm willing to leave it all out there effort uh finish as much as I can and uh yeah that's just what I'm about as a player when did you get your win back after that man it took it took for a while obviously celebrated ran off the field had to sit in here and then uh coaches came and then after a couple minutes my my my adrenaline wore off a little bit my breathing got back to normal NFL tweeted it out it's viewed over a couple hundred thousand times oh yeah are you ready to be viral oh no I mean obiously social media attention is nice but uh it's not all about that um but yeah I I I assume a lot of you know high school college and NFL teams will have that that clip up as a as an example of you know what it means to finish and never give up on the play so that's awesome getting that attention definitely um WR Bryce Oliver first of all I want to thank God for this opportunity for sure and um you know it's the last one so you got to the coach emphasized this week just to finish you know what I'm saying leave leaving all out there a lot of the older guys um talk to me for the game like Nick Westbrook told me just to leave it all on the field and that's what I did we talked before about that connection with Malik is show today what is it about I mean you know like I iterated before to you I told I tell Malik all throughout the week man just like if I'm in there I'm I got you man I'm going make the play and I think uh he's embodied that you know he he trusts me and it's some that ability to show the late hands on that first touchdown that's something that you work on naturally how you no that's actually something that I work on during the offseason I haven't you know just I mean it's kind of like I play receivers so it's not it's kind of like natural but it's something you have to I work on too throughout the offseason stuff yeah I asked that because not all receivers like it's literally the last second put your hands out yeah it's definitely reaction for sure um if you I think I remember like the DB actually had like his hand on the ball I was just trying so hard like to not let it go so yeah came here good kind of for yourself here I mean what what was your mindset coming here and you're trying to do your part to get make tough on oh it's just at the end of the day it's football man it's just you just everybody got to lce them up just like me everybody put the same pants on one leg at a time just like me at the end of the day it doesn't matter where you come from you know we got a guy like Mason keny guy's been in leag five years from Barry College you know um he he's a he's a blueprint guy I look at you know you don't matter where you can go uh collegate Le you can you can make this uh NFL any NFL roster what are this next 48 hours going to be like you've never been through something like this before have you n no sir but um I try not to you know get my nerves worked up about it you know um whatever happens happens it's not in my hands right now but um the only thing I can do is just put my best before forward on the field and I feel like I exemplified that down the field
