Perhaps the UK and the US would eventually establish some form of bilateral free trade agreement as well but even if the US were to change its mind about the matter and put some effort into making such a deal with a single country, said deal would likely not be concluded before the current negotiations with the EU are. Brexit may even help the TTIP negotiations move forward, I dunno.
Anyway, while Bloris may be right to criticise reactionary elements in the EU for stalling the negotiations, his implicit claim that the UK can get a better deal with the US sooner may not be accurate.
