  Speaker 1: Travis, You guys obviously got the run game going. What
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: were some of the keys from your vantage point of
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: having such a successful day running the ball?
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Uh, just old line out there, just being physical. I
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: feel like the old line really was just intentional, just
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: attacking the trenches. And anytime I get behind those guys rolling, man,
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: it's a great day.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: And then be able to score twice, once from long range,
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: once for shorty. Even joke this week about not getting
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: a lot of the one two three yard ones. How
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: good that feel.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: I just feel great when I go out there and
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: my teammates a kind of me, My coach is kind
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: of me. Just put me in a position to go
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: out there and make that play. So anytime I can
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: make a play for the team, it's really great. But
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: like I said the other day, jokingly, man, that second
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: one did feel much better.
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: Than the first one.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: But they y'all feel great because it's really hard to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: score in the NFL. Man, anytime I got opportunity to
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: go out there, man, I'm just grateful for the opportunity
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: to coach just put me in that position. So man,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I just gotta go to make that play for him,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: make that play for the team. Honestly take care of
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: the ball and I just keep being reliable for my teammates.
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: It's like to be a part of up where you're
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: putting teams away or early twenty eight points in the
• 1:02
  Speaker 5: first half and totally took advantage of the defensive takeaways
• 1:06
  Speaker 5: and use that to score touchdowns.
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: It just feels great, you know.
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: I feel like we just kind of building that mentality
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: to where the game never over. So we got to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: continue to just just keep playing. You know, we can't
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: just come out there the first time, have a great
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: game and four quarter just lose our mind.
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: And we know how that feels.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: The Texans game, I feel like I know for me
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: that just haunts me every every new win, I'm just
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: thinking about that game. So I know the team, our
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: team is thinking about that as well. So we got
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: to go out there and just keep finishing and keep
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: playing be four quarters. No as the NFL, the professional players,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: everybody get paid out to play this game, So we
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: just got to finish and have to attack of mindset
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: each and every play.
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: Travis, seemed like you guys were the more physical team today.
• 1:45
  Speaker 6: What can you just say about the edge that you
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: guys have been playing with all year.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: From that sense, just give a shot the coach Cohen,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: you know, I feel like he does a great job
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: of just having is ready for Sunday, you know, and
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: when we go out there and just just feel like
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: ourself before the game, you know, we can kind of
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: go out there and play with that edge and that
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: everyone's just feeling healthy, feeling like their best self, and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: that's how we're able to put good things on film
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: on Sunday.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: Just following up on that, coach said that you guys
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: are playing like people are disrespecting you. Do you think
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: now people will start respecting you now that you're a
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: top of the division And do you want that or
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: would you rather have everybody disrespecting you every week?
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I mean, at the end of the day, I feel
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: like no one likes to except for us, you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And I feel like it just goes along with just
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: just being this organization with organization that's been for quite
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: some time now. So we're not going to get their respect.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: We kind of don't even care. Uh, as long as
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: we know what we got in the south the locker room,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: and we can go out there and take it, you know.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's no better feeling than just being disrespected
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: and having an extra chip on your should to play
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: on the extra edge. So it just gives the extra
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: motivation going to each and every Sunday. But we kind
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: of know where it is going.
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: And I've been here.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: This is my fifth year now, it's kind of been
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: the same song, and no one's gonna just pay us
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: to be the the person that win it all. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: we got to go out there and take it. And
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: I love that coach Coyn kind of plays into that
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: and he kind of gives that edge and he's a
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: great motivator, and I feel like that's why we have
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: to go out of each and every Sunday and just
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: had an extra edge.
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: How much of an extra boost does the offense get
• 3:15
  Speaker 6: when you know that the defense is gonna get turnovers,
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: they're they're taking the ball away.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: I know, its real great. I mean I just seeing
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Deva go out there and had an interception. I mean
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: like it's kind of like just this. It's great just
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: knowing that and like it's coming Marrie football. When they
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: take the ball away, we have to go out there
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and score points. I remember that first drive, it didn't
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: go the way we wanted it kind of like just
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: in and out, but death made that great play. So
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: now we got to go out there and score points
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: because that's how it we be better. You got to
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: get points of the turnover. That's what great team's doing.
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: Now he was able to capitalize off that.
• 3:49
  Speaker 7: What are some of the ways that Liam instills that
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: edge multiple guys if we've talked about that, but what
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: are some you know when you think back to early on,
• 3:57
  Speaker 7: how does he stoke that and instill that you.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Guys just do sound biers just with things throughout the facility,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Just like I remember just this week going through the facility,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: just seeing pitches on the TV.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Is just where we are now.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Division Just how everyone just keeps talking about everyone knows
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: besides us, and I feel like subconsciously you kind of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: might not think about it, but that plays in the
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: back of your mind, especially going into the game, and
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: then just his speeches Saturday and night before the game,
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: you just you know, co said smoke and smoked, you know.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: So I just love that he has that mentality and
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: he just took it down into us as a team.
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: Just overall is downfield passing kind of got off to
• 4:33
  Speaker 6: such a hot start today just what went into that
• 4:35
  Speaker 6: and how much can that open up for you guys
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: move forward?
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you know, I thought it was the best we've
• 4:40
  Speaker 8: played from the passing game perspective all season, as far
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: as down the field making plays and you know, giving
• 4:45
  Speaker 8: our guys a shot and them just going and making plays
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: in tough conditions. So I got to give a lot
• 4:49
  Speaker 8: of credit to you know, our receivers did a great
• 4:51
  Speaker 8: job finishing those plays. Protection up front, we protected really well,
• 4:55
  Speaker 8: no sacks, and it's a defense that's really good. It's
• 4:58
  Speaker 8: generating a lot of pressure, rings a lot of pressure,
• 5:00
  Speaker 8: and I thought we had a really good plan and
• 5:02
  Speaker 8: uh did some did some good things.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: So it was a good day as far as that goes.
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: Can you describe the touchdown to Jacoby, how that play
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: opened up? And describe the touchdown to Patrick please?
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 5:16
  Speaker 8: Uh yeah, Jacoby's we had to cover three and we
• 5:18
  Speaker 8: had a play on that we use kind of a
• 5:22
  Speaker 8: three beater, so get the overlap corner and we got
• 5:25
  Speaker 8: a nice little shot there Jacoby match up on the
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: back or so. I had a good plan for that
• 5:30
  Speaker 8: and worked great. And then for Tim just scramble, keep
• 5:33
  Speaker 8: him play alive. You know, they actually matched that play
• 5:34
  Speaker 8: pretty good. They do a lot of that in the
• 5:36
  Speaker 8: red zone where they you know, it's a good defensive,
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: good scheme where they try to cover everybody up and
• 5:41
  Speaker 8: especially when they know you're when you're throwing the ball.
• 5:43
  Speaker 8: We had no timeout, so they covered it well. Our
• 5:46
  Speaker 8: our line blocked awesome. I had a lane to escape
• 5:48
  Speaker 8: and then you know, making those those are the big
• 5:50
  Speaker 8: plays in the red zone when you can scramble and
• 5:52
  Speaker 8: score off them. That's how so many touchdowns in this
• 5:54
  Speaker 8: league are off scrambles. So it's great to see our
• 5:56
  Speaker 8: guys just continue to work and uh, you know, find
• 5:59
  Speaker 8: a find a way.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Trevor Allow.
• 6:01
  Speaker 9: The focus on this team seems to be internal this year,
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: as in, if we play our best, we can beat anybody.
• 6:08
  Speaker 9: Is that different this year?
• 6:09
  Speaker 8: And if so, why, you know, I think that's always
• 6:15
  Speaker 8: you always want that to be the thought process. I
• 6:18
  Speaker 8: just feel like this team has done a really good
• 6:20
  Speaker 8: job of really staying focused on the task at hand
• 6:22
  Speaker 8: and taking it week by week regardless of I mean
• 6:26
  Speaker 8: the season, we've had some crazy games, we had a
• 6:29
  Speaker 8: lot of adversity, had a lot of great learning experience
• 6:32
  Speaker 8: as we've been through a lot and I just every
• 6:33
  Speaker 8: every week. I think we respond the right way. We
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: don't always necessarily play our best. There's things that are
• 6:38
  Speaker 8: gonna happen in the game that you gotta, you know,
• 6:41
  Speaker 8: make up for and you gotta make plays.
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: And have each other's back.
• 6:43
  Speaker 8: I think that's a great thing about this team, as
• 6:44
  Speaker 8: we've shown that we can win kind of however we
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: need to, whether it's you know, offense picking up the defense,
• 6:49
  Speaker 8: defense picking up the offense, special teams making huge plays.
• 6:53
  Speaker 8: I think that's what you're seeing our team. We're a
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: complete team. We're coming together every week more and more,
• 6:58
  Speaker 8: especially at the end of the season when you.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Have that.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Liam talked about it and Travis as well, the disrespect
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: that you guys seem to feed off of, and how
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: does that relate back to what happened against Houston.
• 7:17
  Speaker 8: As far as far as we're relating back to Houston,
• 7:19
  Speaker 8: I just think for our team.
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: It's anything you can use is fuel. You use it.
• 7:23
  Speaker 8: Uh, we know that it doesn't really matter what anybody
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: says on the outside, but you use all that as fuel,
• 7:28
  Speaker 8: and you know, I think we're I think we all
• 7:31
  Speaker 8: feel like we're a really good team and probably don't
• 7:33
  Speaker 8: get the credit we deserve, and everybody talks about every
• 7:35
  Speaker 8: other team, and even in our own division, it's it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 8: all these other teams that are going to go, you know,
• 7:39
  Speaker 8: win the division and do all these things, and nobody
• 7:41
  Speaker 8: really cares about the Jags, which is fine, you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: it's it's kind of just how it is, and we'll
• 7:46
  Speaker 8: use that as a chip on our shoulder and keep playing.
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: But it doesn't it doesn't really matter. At the end
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: of the day.
• 7:50
  Speaker 8: We got to go out there on Sunday and play well,
• 7:52
  Speaker 8: and it was great today.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: We did that.
• 7:54
  Speaker 8: We answered the call we needed to play well to
• 7:56
  Speaker 8: day we did. At this point in the season, they're
• 7:58
  Speaker 8: all big moving forward, every one of them. So we
• 8:00
  Speaker 8: got to do that every week.
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: You've been, Trevor, you've been around some streaks twenty two
• 8:06
  Speaker 5: to twenty three. Is this you just feel how confident
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: the group is every time you walk out there right now.
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you just feel the energy from the team, the confidence.
• 8:17
  Speaker 8: You know, a lot goes into that, a lot of
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: you know, obviously, I think with a team, to see
• 8:21
  Speaker 8: it happen in different situations like I talked about, the
• 8:25
  Speaker 8: way we've won, gives you confidence in your team and
• 8:28
  Speaker 8: just you know you're gonna respond the right way. And
• 8:30
  Speaker 8: that's the one thing I know I got full faith
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: in with our team is regardless of what happens, we're
• 8:34
  Speaker 8: gonna respond and we're gonna have a shot to go
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: win the game. And that's important because it's just these
• 8:39
  Speaker 8: games never go exactly how you think they're gonna go.
• 8:41
  Speaker 8: Everybody has a plan going and everyone feels great about
• 8:43
  Speaker 8: their plan, and you see a lot of games that
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: don't go well for certain teams. So it's just how
• 8:47
  Speaker 8: you respond to the bad moments or of the misplays
• 8:50
  Speaker 8: or misthrows or whatever it is.
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: Just play the next play.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: There was so much made about the elements. How much
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: is that in the back of your mind as a quarterback?
• 8:58
  Speaker 5: But also even some of the run plays and the
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: turf or whatever else. How much does it factor into
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: what you're doing?
• 9:05
  Speaker 8: You know, I think it's just even more of an
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: emphasis on protecting the ball. You know, you still just
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: go play and you run what's called, and you go
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: and you make a play and you have your plan
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: and it doesn't change. I think from a coaching perspective,
• 9:19
  Speaker 8: maybe some of the calls change a little bit in
• 9:20
  Speaker 8: certain situations. When it's really pouring at different parts of
• 9:23
  Speaker 8: the game. But for me, I just go execute what's
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: called and get to my right checks and just go
• 9:28
  Speaker 8: play ball, and trying to have an awareness of throwing
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: a catchable ball for guys when it is wet of
• 9:33
  Speaker 8: just you know, don't rip one as hard as you
• 9:35
  Speaker 8: can at their head. It's you know, tips and all
• 9:38
  Speaker 8: those issues and the balls west, so trying to just
• 9:40
  Speaker 8: give them catchuple throws. But besides that, you just go
• 9:42
  Speaker 8: play ball.
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: Trevor kind of piggyback a little bit off of what
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: Brett was asking you about. You know, this twenty five
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: team is catching on at the right time, comparing almost
• 9:56
  Speaker 9: similar to what you guys did in twenty two. What
• 9:58
  Speaker 9: are the similarities and difference is for that matter of
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: these two particular teams.
• 10:05
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's every team's different, a lot of
• 10:07
  Speaker 8: obviously different players and staff and all those things. But
• 10:11
  Speaker 8: I think just the feeling of when you have that
• 10:14
  Speaker 8: confidence as a team that's similar. I just think that
• 10:17
  Speaker 8: that's something that's real and you can feel it when
• 10:19
  Speaker 8: your team's confident going into every week, and.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: The way we practice and prepare it's been very focused.
• 10:24
  Speaker 8: I think you look at just how we've matured over
• 10:27
  Speaker 8: the season as far as whether it's penalties, you know,
• 10:30
  Speaker 8: taking care of the football, executing critical moments, all those
• 10:34
  Speaker 8: things have just gotten better every week.
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: And we got to continue to do it.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: And we're gonna play some good teams on the stretch,
• 10:40
  Speaker 8: and we gotta continue to play well.
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: Trevor, you were asked earlier in the year about Liam's
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: energy matching your energy and kind of you tube balancing
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: each other out. There's already a play. I think it
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: was after the Tim Patrick long conversion, the twenty nine
• 10:54
  Speaker 10: yarder that you look like you almost were gonna headbutt Liam.
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: Can you just describe the evilution of the chemistry between
• 11:01
  Speaker 10: you two and where it is now, especially as it
• 11:04
  Speaker 10: feels like this passing game is really starting to click.
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 11:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, we have a great relationship and I've talked
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: about a lot this season, just the dynamic with us,
• 11:12
  Speaker 8: and it's been it's been awesome.
• 11:14
  Speaker 4: It's been fun, you know.
• 11:14
  Speaker 8: I think, like I said, he's brought a little bit
• 11:16
  Speaker 8: more juice out of me and some more energy and
• 11:18
  Speaker 8: some intensity.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: So it's been it's been awesome.
• 11:21
  Speaker 8: And then obviously after a big play, I think we
• 11:22
  Speaker 8: were both pretty pretty jacked up on that one a
• 11:24
  Speaker 8: third down towards the end of the game, trying to
• 11:26
  Speaker 8: seal it, and you know, we were able to me
• 11:28
  Speaker 8: and till we're able to make a good play there.
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah, we're pretty pretty pumped up. It's been fun, Treber.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: What does it say about Liam as a motivator that
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: he can kind of keep you guys on edge, you
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: know game where you guys haven't lost them here since
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: fourteen two teams were headed in different directions and he's
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: got you guys feeling like you're disrespected around the world.
• 11:50
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I've always been impressed with just his
• 11:53
  Speaker 8: the way he addresses the team, the energy, I mean,
• 11:57
  Speaker 8: he's just relentless. It's pretty It's pretty cool to see
• 11:59
  Speaker 8: as the layer and how much he puts into it.
• 12:02
  Speaker 8: And I think that's a big piece of it too
• 12:04
  Speaker 8: throughout the week, you know, just I mean, he knows
• 12:07
  Speaker 8: the plan so well offensively, defense, He just knows everything
• 12:10
  Speaker 8: that's going on. He puts so much time into it,
• 12:12
  Speaker 8: cares about it so much, and the way he talks
• 12:14
  Speaker 8: to the team, you can tell and he just has
• 12:17
  Speaker 8: a way of getting the guys going. I think We're
