QB Jameis Winston on J.J. McCarthy’s growth

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

What made you think of doing that at the line of scrimmage, I guess, is what I'm asking Jameis.

Jameis Winston (0:04)

To get the defense to jump off sides.

SPEAKER_3 (0:08)

Is there anything that you see there that can let you run the play and snap the ball, or when you come out of the hot water, you can not snap the ball?

Jameis Winston (0:17)

Yeah, there was no snap, no play.

SPEAKER_3 (0:19)

Did you think you had it on the third time?

Jameis Winston (0:21)

I do.

SPEAKER_3 (0:22)

I mean, they gave it to you, then they took it.

Jameis Winston (0:24)

Yeah, I do believe it. I thought I did.

SPEAKER_3 (0:28)

How frustrating is that to be waiting there in the off time?

Jameis Winston (0:32)

You just got to get it. Don't even give them a chance to make a decision on it.

And I've done it before. So just flush it and move on and get better.

SPEAKER_4 (0:47)

Jameis, what was the message in the locker room from coach after? What was the message from coach post game?

Jameis Winston (0:57)

We got to keep fighting. It's not the end of the season. We have to keep fighting and find a way to persevere. We still have everything right in front of us.

SPEAKER_1 (1:08)

Jameis, it was obviously a difficult night for Malik. You're one of the leaders that hit the fun ball. Obviously, the 50-50 ball. Dion, you're one of the leaders on the team.

What did you see from him out there?

Jameis Winston (1:18)

He's going to make some place for us again. I thought that was an incomplete pass. He didn't make a football move. He was actually tucking it throughout the process. But you just don't give anyone to even decide it, make a decision.

We have control over the football. Let's do our best to possess it.

SPEAKER_4 (1:40)

What did you see from JJ tonight?

Jameis Winston (1:42)

Man, resilience. He played well.

He saw it well. They did some unique things on defense. He found a way to give us a chance to win. And as the quarterback, that's the job.

SPEAKER_4 (1:53)

How do you think a game like this, the career that he's had, I guess not to let it spiral, but I guess what do you tell him in the postgame?

Jameis Winston (2:00)

I tell him, keep on playing. This is the NFL.

We're going to find a way to win those games. And we have won those games up until now.

So our focus is going to continue on us finishing the football game, because that's all it comes down to. Defense did a good job of getting two turnovers in the fourth quarter. And as offense, we all have our role to finish. And I'm a part of that. I have to help them out by getting that first down on 31

SPEAKER_5 (2:30)

What was it like to see Cam Scadaboo have a good game after some ups and downs in the season?

Jameis Winston (2:36)

I think Cam is a phenomenal player. Every time he gets the opportunity, he goes out and does his job.
