00:00What does a win like that do for y'all moving forward,
00:02given kind of everything y'all want to accomplish?
00:04You know, we just got to look back on it, watch film.
00:08Obviously, you know, it was a good game overall.
00:10You know, it started with defense, special teams,
00:13and the offense finally got going a little bit.
00:16I feel like it boosts our confidence a little bit, you know what I mean?
00:18And we just got to build off of it.
00:20What's it like when Joe does what he does?
00:22Obviously, you have to back him in the league,
00:23but then he takes as many hits as he did
00:24and then leads y'all in that touchdown drive in the second half.
00:26What does that tell you about, Joe?
00:27I just tell you about his toughness, one.
00:30It's just that we're not going to give up.
00:31Oh, shit, I think you're giving me the phone.
00:33We're not going to give up, so.
00:35What's it like hearing those T-chants on the road?
00:37It's pretty dope, bro.
00:40People were texting me and saying they could hear it on TV, too,
00:42so I think that's pretty cool.
00:43Shout-out to the fans.
00:45Joe mentioned in there, you guys have multiple ways of winning now.
00:48It's not just outscoring teams.
00:50When you see the defense perform the way they did,
00:52do you guys feel an extra boost of confidence
00:55in what this team can do this year?
00:56Yeah, for sure, man.
00:57And I feel like we haven't even got clicking yet on offense.
01:00I feel like we can reach another level, as you all know.
01:04But our defense is playing lights out right now.
01:07Hopefully they keep it up, keep being who they are.
01:09They find their identity now, and that's all we can ask for.
01:13So, I'd love to hear the perspective of an excellent wide receiver
01:18and your thoughts on Jamar's touchdown catch, his first one.
01:22I just watched a video of that.
01:24I didn't know he almost fell.
01:26Somebody was like, Chase is a freak.
01:28I was like, yeah, that's kind of crazy, bro.
01:30That was good shit, you know what I mean?
01:32The fact that he almost fell and still stayed on his feet
01:35and made a toe-tap grab is unbelievable.
01:37I saw you throw your helmet after that third down
01:39when you were coming off the field.
01:41Was it just frustration in the play?
01:42Oh, yeah, frustration.
01:43Yeah, that's all it is.
01:45Zach said he wanted your team to make a statement this weekend.
01:48Coming down here, everybody thinks Houston can be a playoff team.
01:51Do you feel like you guys did make a statement in the way you played?
01:54Yeah, man.
01:56Obviously, it didn't go our way, you know, the first, you know, first quarter.
02:00It was a low-scoring game, you know, all first half,
02:03but, you know, defense stayed in there.
02:06You know, Ryan, you know, was punting him.
02:08He put him back, what, how many times?
02:10Four times back there inside the 20th.
02:12You know, shout out Ryan.
02:14And, you know, we just got to keep building off this.
02:17That back shoulder throw to you, is that just reps, years, time together?
02:21Definitely reps, years, time together.
02:23You know, Joe has trusted me, has trusted all his guys,
02:26and, you know, he was able to give me a chance right there,
02:28and I was able to make the play.
02:29We saw how important having playmakers on offense is.
02:33I mean, Houston was missing their guy.
02:34You have yourself and Jamar.
02:36How much of a difference do you think you two being out there
02:39making those plays was for this game?
02:40I mean, it's what we do.
02:43You know, they got us here to make plays.
02:47We're playmakers, and, you know, that's our job.
02:49So, that's what we're going to do.
02:50You know, when Joe gives us a chance,
02:51our job is to go out there and make that play.
02:53Actually, it feels like all the big names on y'all's team
02:56made big plays today.
02:57Does it feel like everybody was just clicking?
02:59It feels like maybe the first time in a while
03:01that everyone's kind of been like that.
03:02Yeah, I feel like everybody was clicking today.
03:05Obviously, we left some out there.
03:07I'm not going to ever say that we was perfect out there
03:10because we wasn't.
03:11You know, a lot of flags that shouldn't happen,
03:13a lot of false starts.
03:15And not only by the O-linemen.
03:16You know, some by, you know, skill position,
03:18and that's things we've got to correct.
03:21So, I'm not going to say it was the perfect game.
03:23Obviously, we won.
03:24It's a good thing.
03:25But we've got to build off the mistakes
03:27and off the, you know, the errors
03:28and come back stronger next week versus Pittsburgh.
03:30So, I'm not going to say it was the perfect game.
