Press Pass: Sam Bradford

it seems you know, it's still not perfect. You know, there's still some things that we need to correct, but um, you know, it seems to be going in the right direction right now. What did you do during the vibe We've been two weeks there. Do you seem to really straight somethings that since then? Even missing the time? What did that pero do for? Um? Yeah, I think it just allows you a kind of a chance to just

step back and look at it from a different perspective. Um, you know, I'm not sure I changed a whole lot. I think, you know, like I said, or I think I'm just getting more comfortable. Um. You know, I feel like my feet have been much better. I feel like my pocket movement has been much better. Um, you know, and I feel like when I play with my feet in rhythm. You know, good things usually happened, and I feel like the past couple of weeks, my feet have

been pretty good. The Vertibal game was there today. What happened then to get that coming? Um, you know, just kind of the coverage they were playing today. Um, you know they weren't playing you know, it was kind of like a quarter slash zero look for some of the run stuff. But you know, there really wasn't a deep safety in the middle of the field most of the game. So you know, they were challenged us to throw it downfield, and you know, we wanted to take some shots and

you know, fortunately we hit a few. Kind of like that was huge. Um. You know, you call that play thinking that you know you might get for and get the first down, and you know he probably gets pushed out of bounds and then you know we got first intent. But you know, for him to make the catch and run that he did, um, you know, that's just a bonus. And it was pretty cool. I mean, it looked like he was never going to go down. And you know it's plays like that that you know, really get us

going and kind of spark us. Quarterbacks got like seeing that they can Calcu. Yeah, absolutely, yeah. I mean, you know, we haven't seen a whole lot of it this year. Um. You know, it seems like everyone we play tries to keep everything in front of us, you know, and make us put together long drives. But you know today they were giving it to us when you watch them, UM a little bit, yes, its more so today. I think. You know, their game plan today was kind of designed

specifically for us. Um. You know, I got to know that it's going to get down to the two minute, you know, regardless, and you know, got to throw it away. You know. I don't know how many yards I lost right there, but yeah, I mean it's critical right there. Um, you know, just a mental mistake, you know, I I should have thrown the ball away when they're winning anything there. See how much you say that first? Um, you know,

I don't know. I think it's kind of hard to say, but you know I do feel better out there, you know, I feel more comfortable out there, you know, more confident you know, and what we're doing. And I think as a quarterback, when you're confident and you're able to just kind of let things rip, you know, that's when you

play your best. There's a lot going on this week's away from the field, but play come back and as a player, did you just have to just put that out of this focus on the builds and their defensive stuff and not worried about all the other stuff going on. Yeah, you know, I think that's been what's been really special about this team and this group for the past two weeks because you know, I know there's been a lot of noise from outside the building, um, you know, especially

after the things giving date game. Um, but you know, it doesn't seem to affect us. You know, I think everyone did a great job but just staying focused at not letting any of that, you know, add anything extra to the game. You know, I thought our preparation this week was great, um, you know, and then to go out there and get another good team win tonight, Um, it's huge. Just how important as a destiny you know that you have the destiny in your own hands and

it's on your own control. Now. I mean, even let's flit lifts be games or playoff games, let's don't but you see that new own destiny in your hands. How much going to feel it is? All right? Now? Yeah, I think that's all you can ask for. Um. You know, obviously to start the year the way we did and kind of dig ourselves in a hole. You know, it was unlikely that we would be in this position this late in the year. But you know, for us to,

like you said, control our own destiny. Um, you know, where we don't have to depend on anyone else, you know, and if we take care of our business, will end up where we want to be. I think that's all

you can ask for. You know, you're coming back to the line up a two games where the team is given up the twenty five points each game lost, and now you're coming back, do you try to take anywhere all yourself where you try to just kind of slide back in the way things you used to be put us in the mindset what a quarterback takes onselves in

the situation. Um. You know, I think more than anything, as opposed to you know, changing anything on the field, I think, you know, the past couple of weeks, I've just tried to provide leadership, um to this group. You know, I don't think that you can let what's happened in the past affect the way that you know you prepare for a game or alter your style and you know, I think that's when you start trying to force things

that aren't there, you know, and that's when bad plays happen. So, you know, as far as my play on the field, you know, I've tried to keep that pretty much the same. It's how you expect it. If the offense you Um, yeah, I still think there's some things that we can do better. You know, I think that we can perform at a higher level. You know, obviously we're still not great out there, but um, you know, I think this is what I

envisioned as far as us winning as a team. You know, what we've been able to do the past two weeks, you know, to put two wins together, um, and I think that's kind of what everyone was really looking to see. Ye, thank you,
