Speaker 1: Welcome into the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review podcast presented by
0:09
Speaker 1: t I A. A. Bank J P. Shadrick. With you
0:11
Speaker 1: on Friday, December, we have the best of one of
0:15
Speaker 1: the busiest weeks in Jaguar's history. Urban Meyer out as
0:19
Speaker 1: head coach after eleven months and thirteen games. His final
0:23
Speaker 1: days at the Helm and the aftermath all coming up.
0:27
Speaker 1: Let's start with a build up to last week's game
0:29
Speaker 1: in Tennessee. Last Saturday, NFL media is Tom Pella Sero
0:33
Speaker 1: reported some interactions between Meyer and certain players, and tension
0:37
Speaker 1: between Meyer and the coaching staff, and some more notes.
0:40
Speaker 1: The next day, the Jaguars were shut out for the
0:43
Speaker 1: first time since two thousand nine, a twenty to nothing
0:46
Speaker 1: lost in Nashville against the Titans. The Jags ran eight
0:49
Speaker 1: times for eight yards in the game, both Branchise all
0:52
Speaker 1: time lows, and for the third time this season, were
0:54
Speaker 1: held under two hundred yards of total offense. The defense
0:57
Speaker 1: held its own, but it just wasn't enough. After the game,
1:01
Speaker 1: Meyer was asked about the Saturday reports and his belief
1:04
Speaker 1: in being able to turn it around. Is that in
1:07
Speaker 1: your meeting? What's that about? Losing sucks and we just
1:12
Speaker 1: got to stick together. And I think he knows that. Yeah,
1:15
Speaker 1: I assured him that we. I still believe in my
1:17
Speaker 1: heart we will. How fast you know that depends on
1:22
Speaker 1: Once again, I still think there's good pieces you watched.
1:24
Speaker 1: You watched out there today, Myles Jack and that defense
1:27
Speaker 1: and some of those kids. Uh roy smoot, I mean
1:31
Speaker 1: I was those guys are playing their tails off. You
1:34
Speaker 1: get a couple of scores on offense, you're right there,
1:36
Speaker 1: and we didn't do it. So what's the answer. Start
1:40
Speaker 1: leaking information or some nonsense. Now, no, that's nonsense, that's garbage,
1:46
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's once again, I've been very blessed.
1:48
Speaker 1: I'm not really dealt with that. I'm not dealt with
1:52
Speaker 1: well did you hear what he said? What? No, Let's
1:56
Speaker 1: improve on offense and get our quarterback in a position
1:59
Speaker 1: to be successful. That is our focus. What someone's brother
2:02
Speaker 1: said or someone said, someone said that will that occupy
2:06
Speaker 1: very little my time. And if if there is a source,
2:09
Speaker 1: that source is unemployed, I mean within seconds, if there's
2:15
Speaker 1: some source that's doing it, I don't know. We want
2:20
Speaker 1: to talk about it. Onto Jaguar's Happy Our Radio Monday
2:24
Speaker 1: and eagerly anticipated edition with Pete Prisco, Tony Boselli, and
2:28
Speaker 1: me reacting to the weekend reports, plus the shutout loss
2:31
Speaker 1: and urban Meyer's reaction after the game. Pete Prisco's opening monologue,
2:36
Speaker 1: there's not a lot of happiness in paradise right now.
2:38
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco, good afternoon to you. What is up? Look,
2:42
Speaker 1: their journalists, they don't make stuff up. They're not making
2:45
Speaker 1: it up. Um. I mean, look, I just happened to
2:49
Speaker 1: look back at a tweet in August and from the
2:53
Speaker 1: ten ten xcel account, I just found it. It said
2:56
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco is hearing players aren't thrilled with urban Meyer.
3:00
Speaker 1: I mean that was a long time ago. I didn't
3:02
Speaker 1: make it up, Okay, And to say that journalists or
3:07
Speaker 1: whoever make it up is ridiculous. Your your reputation is
3:10
Speaker 1: on the line. There's stuff there. There's plenty of stuff.
3:15
Speaker 1: And I've mentioned some of it on here. Okay. We
3:19
Speaker 1: we've mentioned plenty of it on here. I've mentioned plenty
3:21
Speaker 1: of it on CBS Sports HQ. Over the last four months.
3:25
Speaker 1: There have been incidences, there have been issues, players griping,
3:27
Speaker 1: moan and grown it. Okay, that's happened. For him to
3:31
Speaker 1: say he's not concerned about it. Okay, maybe he isn't.
3:35
Speaker 1: That's the same as Tom Coughlin used to say he
3:37
Speaker 1: wasn't concerned about any of it, and then he can
3:38
Speaker 1: complain about all of it. They, of course they're concerned
3:41
Speaker 1: about it. Um, that's just the way of life. It is.
3:45
Speaker 1: And I've had many of talk with coaches. I said
3:47
Speaker 1: this to him, I go, why would you care so
3:49
Speaker 1: much about it? Why? And a lot of it is,
3:54
Speaker 1: you know, their reputation. I get it, but it's not
3:57
Speaker 1: made up. Let's be real. It's not made up. So
4:00
Speaker 1: how can you prove it's made up? You can't. If
4:03
Speaker 1: you go ask Marvin Jones if it's if he had
4:04
Speaker 1: that incident an issue with Urban, what's he gonna say, Yes,
4:09
Speaker 1: I did, then Urban's lion. No I didn't. Then Pallasaro
4:13
Speaker 1: like it looks bad. So I just I think there's
4:17
Speaker 1: where there's smoke, there's fire, there's it's a situation in Jacksonville.
4:22
Speaker 1: You can't deny that in Urban. If he was truthful,
4:26
Speaker 1: he would know that. He knows that there's nothing warm
4:30
Speaker 1: and fuzzy with him and his coaches and his players.
4:32
Speaker 1: It just isn't now whether he can fix that who knows.
4:37
Speaker 1: Who knows, And whether Sean Khan wants him to fix it,
4:40
Speaker 1: we don't know. Maybe he does, maybe he thinks he
4:43
Speaker 1: can fix it, maybe he thinks he can change him.
4:46
Speaker 1: But this much I know, Trevor Lawrence is rotting away
4:50
Speaker 1: before our eyes. And I think it's up to Trevor.
4:53
Speaker 1: This is something that I think which should be should happen.
4:55
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Who is the franchise. He is the It's
5:00
Speaker 1: not Urban Meyer, it's Trevor Lawrence. He's the franchise. And
5:05
Speaker 1: if there eroting his skills and letting all his talent
5:09
Speaker 1: brought away, then or then he needs to go to
5:12
Speaker 1: shot Khan and his agent. They need to go to
5:15
Speaker 1: shot Con and they need to sit down and say,
5:17
Speaker 1: you know what, this isn't working. If they want him out,
5:20
Speaker 1: then that's on them. We don't decide who gets fired.
5:24
Speaker 1: We don't. That's not our job. Our job is to
5:27
Speaker 1: evaluate it and on the outside looking in. And I'm
5:30
Speaker 1: not in every meeting, and neither is Tony or neither
5:32
Speaker 1: of you j P. It's just not working. It's a disaster.
5:35
Speaker 1: There's no other way to describe it. And here's the
5:38
Speaker 1: worst thing about it, I've been around that team since
5:42
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety four and even be eight before that when
5:45
Speaker 1: Wayne Weaver was the owner in Touchdown Jacksonville. I was
5:48
Speaker 1: the first guy. Was around those people all my life.
5:50
Speaker 1: I was around Tom Cough a day in a day out.
5:53
Speaker 1: He was an obsession of mine. And I've been around
5:55
Speaker 1: that building for a long time and i know that
5:57
Speaker 1: fan base. And everybody mocks the fan base, which is
6:00
Speaker 1: a joke, because there's a passionate fan base there. You know, nationally,
6:03
Speaker 1: Oh there's a who goes to their games. Let me,
6:06
Speaker 1: you guys know, and the generation that's now, they're now,
6:08
Speaker 1: they're die hard fans. They grew up with it. They
6:11
Speaker 1: didn't sleep and go to school when they lost the
6:13
Speaker 1: championship game in ninety nine. They're passionate as hell and
6:16
Speaker 1: they care. And I've never have ever seen it this
6:21
Speaker 1: bad among the fan base ever, in the worst years
6:24
Speaker 1: they've ever had, It's never been this bad. And that's
6:28
Speaker 1: the problem because I think the tickets are not gonna
6:31
Speaker 1: get sold, and that's when you have a problem. They're
6:34
Speaker 1: the most distrustled I've ever seen him. And you guys
6:36
Speaker 1: live in town now, I don't, but I talked to
6:37
Speaker 1: a lot of people, and I read a lot of
6:39
Speaker 1: stuff and I hear a lot of things. This is
6:42
Speaker 1: the worst the fan base has ever been. And it's
6:44
Speaker 1: unfair to them because now there's a reputation out there.
6:47
Speaker 1: Oh well, they won't go buy tickets. It's a bad
6:50
Speaker 1: fan base. No, it's not. It's a great fan base.
6:53
Speaker 1: It's a young fan base. The Foo Foo wanted cheese
6:55
Speaker 1: crowd that went in the nineties. They're gone. But now
6:58
Speaker 1: it's a diehard fan base and a need to be
7:02
Speaker 1: heard and if they want changes, I think that the
7:05
Speaker 1: people need to pay attention. Jaguars Happy our Radio Monday

Speaker 1: and we didn't know it at the time, but it
7:30
Speaker 1: turned out to be the final Urban Meyer show on
7:33
Speaker 1: the Jaguars Radio network, and we had the final thought
7:36
Speaker 1: from the head coach, So Urban the Jaguars back home
7:39
Speaker 1: this week, trying to snap this losing skid, get back
7:43
Speaker 1: in the bank here and get some positivity going. Some
7:46
Speaker 1: good things are going on. Defense, special teams, gotta get
7:49
Speaker 1: the offense jump started here. Let's get it going down
7:52
Speaker 1: the stretch here, flour to go. Let's get it going
7:54
Speaker 1: down to stretch. And I know why, I just I
7:56
Speaker 1: will say that, how much you appreciate people coming out
7:58
Speaker 1: and uh promise, she got people who are going to
8:01
Speaker 1: tail off. We're gonna we're gonna flip this thing. And
8:03
Speaker 1: uh right now, the defenses, you just see the way
8:06
Speaker 1: they're walking around. They're very confident how they're planning. We
8:09
Speaker 1: have to get that same confidence back in the offense
8:11
Speaker 1: because at one point we had that and we lost
8:14
Speaker 1: it and we got to get it back. Urban, Thanks
8:16
Speaker 1: for the time, good luck to you this week. Appreciate
8:18
Speaker 1: The Urban Meyers Show is now called the Jaguars Coaches
8:21
Speaker 1: Show and we'll continue to air Tuesday's at five pm
8:24
Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Radio Network. Jaguars owners Shot con celebrated
8:28
Speaker 1: his tenth anniversary of ownership this week and in a
8:31
Speaker 1: pre planned conversation with select members of the local media
8:35
Speaker 1: con talked through everything from the football situation to downtown development.
8:39
Speaker 1: There was no audio or video from the event, but
8:42
Speaker 1: plenty of headlines. Moving to Wednesday and the weekly press
8:46
Speaker 1: conference for quarterback Trevor Lawrence, he was asked about the
8:49
Speaker 1: drama around the team in the last week or so,
8:52
Speaker 1: and the rookie quarterback said it should all be about football. Obviously,
8:56
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of drama, like whatever has caused everything,
8:59
Speaker 1: who even knows at the point, but there's been a
9:01
Speaker 1: lot of drama. Um, And for me, I think it's
9:04
Speaker 1: important to be truthful. But with that, like I said,
9:07
Speaker 1: you can't always you can't say everything that's on your mind.
9:10
Speaker 1: You have to have a filter and you've got to
9:12
Speaker 1: be careful. And um, you know, I have a lot
9:14
Speaker 1: of appreciation for all those guys in there. That's I've
9:16
Speaker 1: been working to try to get this thing right and
9:19
Speaker 1: it hasn't been easy. So I have a lot of
9:21
Speaker 1: appreciation for the players, for the coaches, for everybody. Amy
9:24
Speaker 1: has been great. I mean she's had she's had a
9:27
Speaker 1: tough job, so she's she's awesome. But no, so I
9:32
Speaker 1: have so I understand that, but I also think with
9:34
Speaker 1: you guys. I mean you guys do uh, you guys
9:36
Speaker 1: do a tough job too. And to to just be honest,
9:39
Speaker 1: I think is is important. Obviously, you can't, like I said,
9:42
Speaker 1: say always say exactly what's on your mind. But um,
9:46
Speaker 1: the truth is in there somewhere, always with me. So
9:48
Speaker 1: that's what I try to do. You ever experienced and yeah,
9:54
Speaker 1: for sure, for sure. I mean I haven't had a
9:56
Speaker 1: long career, so you can maybe ask Marvin or brand
9:58
Speaker 1: or some of those other guys that'd probab be you
10:00
Speaker 1: probably get a better answer. But in the first year,
10:02
Speaker 1: obviously things went pretty smooth for me at Clemson, so
10:05
Speaker 1: definitely the most drama. But hey, I've you know, I've
10:08
Speaker 1: gotten better in a lot of ways from this as
10:10
Speaker 1: a leader, as a person, Um, I've grown a lot.
10:13
Speaker 1: So I'm you know, you can't ever I don't ever
10:14
Speaker 1: have any regrets or any You don't look back and
10:17
Speaker 1: wish anything different dealing with that, you said, the drama.
10:21
Speaker 1: What is it like to deal with that? I mean
10:22
Speaker 1: you just you do what you can do, and that's
10:24
Speaker 1: just keep going every day, try to get better. Um,
10:27
Speaker 1: Like I like I said before, you play for those
10:29
Speaker 1: guys in there that are all. Everybody's working as hard
10:31
Speaker 1: as they can to to do everything they can to
10:34
Speaker 1: right the ship, and um, you just keep plugging away,
10:37
Speaker 1: keep being the same person. I think that's in the
10:39
Speaker 1: long run that ultimately wins, just being being the same
10:43
Speaker 1: um and just consistency. I think I've always believed in that.
10:46
Speaker 1: You think that that has to change? That very drama
10:49
Speaker 1: three times this week? Do you think you think that's
10:52
Speaker 1: half the change in order for you guys to get
10:54
Speaker 1: the way you want to get to starting the next season.
10:57
Speaker 1: That yet you can't have drama? Yeah, I mean you're
11:00
Speaker 1: always You're always gonna have some form of drama. I've
11:02
Speaker 1: learned that even just the NFL is just more drama
11:05
Speaker 1: in general than the college no matter where you're at.
11:06
Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean there's been a lot and uh, yeah,
11:10
Speaker 1: to your point, I do think that has to change,
11:12
Speaker 1: and um, you know that's something that we need to
11:15
Speaker 1: work on for sure. So you can't always be in
11:17
Speaker 1: the headlines. You just gotta go play football and that's
11:19
Speaker 1: where we're trying to get and I have no doubt
11:22
Speaker 1: we'll get there. But for sure, defensive end and outside
11:25
Speaker 1: linebacker Josh Allen said it would be nice to have
11:28
Speaker 1: a somewhat normal season with the Jags, but he turned
11:31
Speaker 1: it into a positive. I mean what you know what
11:34
Speaker 1: I'm saying. But you know, I'm thankful to be a
11:37
Speaker 1: Jackson with Jaguar. You know what I'm saying. They took
11:39
Speaker 1: it to they drafted me coming out, um and I'm
11:43
Speaker 1: forever grateful for this organization and for this fan base. Uh.
11:46
Speaker 1: You know, personally, I'm gonna go out there and play
11:48
Speaker 1: my heart out for this team. Uh and I'm continue
11:51
Speaker 1: to do that. And uh so whatever years comes, years
11:56
Speaker 1: can come. But I you know, for me, I want
11:59
Speaker 1: to get better, you know, so I want to improve
12:00
Speaker 1: every year. But I know all I can do with
12:03
Speaker 1: control myself, my room, and my group. And I'm good
12:06
Speaker 1: to you to do that too. Effect On, can you
12:10
Speaker 1: put it behind you? It's easy to not any thank
12:13
Speaker 1: you to you all drama right now? For you, it's easy,
12:16
Speaker 1: thank you fool. I mean, you know, it's work, you
12:22
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. If you have you're dealing with
12:24
Speaker 1: something at work, it affects you. But you still gotta
12:26
Speaker 1: do your job, you know what I'm saying. And if
12:28
Speaker 1: I take my mind off of doing my job, to
12:31
Speaker 1: focus on putting my energy in this, then I'm not
12:34
Speaker 1: gonna do my job out there. I look bad, you
12:36
Speaker 1: know what I mean? So uh man uh we. I
12:40
Speaker 1: focus on doing my job and my job well. And
12:44
Speaker 1: I know if I let anything outside outside of work
12:47
Speaker 1: and work seep into what I'm ultimately trying to do,
12:50
Speaker 1: I'm taking food off my family's play. I'm taking the
12:52
Speaker 1: food off my coaches play. I'm taking the food of
12:54
Speaker 1: my strength. And Alex, you don't aim me so I
12:57
Speaker 1: can focus on myself and continue to get better every week.
13:01
Speaker 1: Later Wednesday afternoon, around five pm, the Tampa Bay Times
13:05
Speaker 1: ran a story interviewing former Jags kicker Josh Lambeau describing
13:09
Speaker 1: an incident with Meyer. About seven hours later, it became official.
13:13
Speaker 1: In an overnight announcement, Jaguar's owner Shod Con stated he
13:16
Speaker 1: had relieved Urban Meyer of his duties, saying, in part quote,
13:20
Speaker 1: I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that
13:22
Speaker 1: an immediate change is imperative for everyone. As I stated
13:26
Speaker 1: in October, regaining our trust and respect was essential. Regrettably,
13:30
Speaker 1: it did not happen. End quote. When we return the
13:33

Speaker 1: never ideal. They're very tough and difficult situations, um to
14:56
Speaker 1: you know, to be put into, you know, in in
14:58
Speaker 1: either way. But you know it's one that I'm I'm

15:22
Speaker 1: you've visited the experience before. What was it like in
15:25
Speaker 1: the locker room in terms of the effort that you
15:27
Speaker 1: felt you were given last year in this situation and
15:32
Speaker 1: you expect something similar or different here. Yeah, yeah, I
15:36
Speaker 1: really don't expect anything different. Uh. You know, I thought
15:39
Speaker 1: that the players in Detroit were outstanding. Um, I thought
15:42
Speaker 1: that they were all in. Um, those guys really did
15:46
Speaker 1: work their tails off. They went they went to work,
15:48
Speaker 1: and you know, it's it's as big of a change
15:50
Speaker 1: for them as it is for us. And I, you know,
15:52
Speaker 1: I thought they gave me their all. You know, the
15:54
Speaker 1: first game we went to you know, we went to
15:56
Speaker 1: Chicago and we had to come back, you know, come
15:58
Speaker 1: from behind victory was aesome experience and the guys were
16:01
Speaker 1: great and you know, so it was it was a
16:03
Speaker 1: really good experience. And I really wouldn't expect it to
16:05
Speaker 1: be any different here. And uh, you know, I have
16:07
Speaker 1: obviously a great release relationship with the guys that are
16:10
Speaker 1: on the offensive side of the ball that I've spent
16:12
Speaker 1: a lot of time with. But we have such such
16:14
Speaker 1: cool players, um, you know, on both sides of the ball.
16:17
Speaker 1: You know, I mean I could name them, you know,
16:19
Speaker 1: Miles and Josh and all those guys on the defensive
16:21
Speaker 1: side of the ball that um uh you know that
16:24
Speaker 1: are dying to get you know, to get wins that
16:26
Speaker 1: um and they you know, they just want to dive
16:28
Speaker 1: fullhead into this thing and uh, you know, win some games.
16:31
Speaker 1: We saw in twenty minutes today practice to see very spirited,
16:34
Speaker 1: very enthusiastic. Uh would you say that that's that's the
16:39
Speaker 1: case today or the guys I don't know what you'd
16:42
Speaker 1: call it relief or anything like that, but are the
16:44
Speaker 1: guys enthusiast for I haven't moving forward? Well? I think
16:47
Speaker 1: they were focused, you know, I was. I was really
16:49
Speaker 1: excited about that because anytime, any time you have really
16:52
Speaker 1: any type of distractions that uh, you know, it can
16:55
Speaker 1: be something that can affect practice and effect the things
16:57
Speaker 1: that you're doing. So I was I was fired up
17:00
Speaker 1: the way that they came out there. They handle they
17:01
Speaker 1: handle their business and they practically practice really well. Today.
17:05
Speaker 1: We've got a little bit of rain to work out
17:06
Speaker 1: in as well, you know, because I think there's a
17:08
Speaker 1: chance for rain in the game. Um, so that's always
17:10
Speaker 1: good opportunities. Would you would you still be the book
17:13
Speaker 1: play call and where the strump should be the thing
17:15
Speaker 1: and the worlds Well, I think I want to get
17:18
Speaker 1: through this week. I'm gonna call the players this week
17:20
Speaker 1: and then um, you know, it's just it's it's later
17:22
Speaker 1: in the week than it normally would be. So, uh,
17:25
Speaker 1: we're gonna do you know, status quo. We're gonna keep
17:27
Speaker 1: everything the same this week and then over the weekend
17:29
Speaker 1: and we'll moll over some things and uh, you'll probably
17:31
Speaker 1: have some conversations in the booth or you're gonna be
17:34
Speaker 1: on the field. I'll be on the field. Are your
17:36
Speaker 1: thoughts about that? I love being on the field. I've
17:39
Speaker 1: been on the on the field the whole time. It's
17:40
Speaker 1: kind of been foreign to be up in the boxing
17:42
Speaker 1: these last thirteen weeks or whatever it's been. Um, so
17:45
Speaker 1: I'm excited to get back down there. There's just there's
17:47
Speaker 1: just great energy when when you're on the field. Um,
17:50
Speaker 1: it's like playing a video game. When you're up there,
17:52
Speaker 1: you know, it's so stale, it's so quiet. Um. So
17:54
Speaker 1: it's good to be around the guys. The interaction is better.
17:57
Speaker 1: Communication can be better with the players. I have great
17:59
Speaker 1: communit case with the coaches on the headset, but being
18:02
Speaker 1: able to see their eyes and and and talk to them,
18:04
Speaker 1: it's it's a different experience. We are on the field.
18:05
Speaker 1: We're taking up a communication over the headset. One of
18:07
Speaker 1: the reports um that surfaced last weekend was possible communication
18:11
Speaker 1: about benching James Robinson. Can you just discuss what his
18:15
Speaker 1: role is in this offense moving forward and knowing what
18:17
Speaker 1: those conversations may or may not have been, James Robinson's
18:20
Speaker 1: are starting running back and he will be played as such.
18:24
Speaker 1: More from Trevor Lawrence on the next step for the
18:27
Speaker 1: Jaguars and Shaquill Griffin discussing what the Jags need and
18:31
Speaker 1: a new head coach in just a moment Welcome back quarterback.
18:34
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence came back to the podium Thursday for his
18:38
Speaker 1: reaction to the departure of head coach Urban Meyer. Obviously,
18:41
Speaker 1: it's it's weird. You know, it's different, different deal, something
18:43
Speaker 1: I've never experienced. You know, some of the guys obviously
18:46
Speaker 1: like that. We're in Detroit, you know, mar this is
18:49
Speaker 1: kind of similar to last last year. UM. For me,
18:53
Speaker 1: I think it's uh, it brings a little bit of
18:55
Speaker 1: clarity to the guys in the locker room. I wouldn't
18:57
Speaker 1: say I wouldn't say relief, but I would say, UM,
19:01
Speaker 1: just bring some clarity in some direction moving forward. You know,
19:03
Speaker 1: we really we really want to go and finish this
19:05
Speaker 1: season strong and UM to be honest, it's been hard
19:08
Speaker 1: the last the last week with everything going on, and
19:12
Speaker 1: you know, just there's a lot of things being stirred up.
19:14
Speaker 1: I think by the outside too. It didn't help, um
19:17
Speaker 1: made made things a lot worse. But also everything that's
19:20
Speaker 1: going on, it's hard to be focused and have all
19:22
Speaker 1: your attention and efforts going towards winning the game when
19:26
Speaker 1: there's so many things going on. So, UM, I think,
19:29
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm happy for the team that we
19:31
Speaker 1: have clarity since the direction and we can just go
19:33
Speaker 1: be our best moving forward for the next four weeks
19:36
Speaker 1: and then we'll you know, well we'll go from there
19:38
Speaker 1: and see what what the next step is. But UM,
19:41
Speaker 1: right now, I definitely think that, you know, we had
19:43
Speaker 1: a good, great day of practice today and UM, ray
19:45
Speaker 1: just move forward. That can have been just like last
19:48
Speaker 1: week where everything was going crazy and corner, I mean
19:50
Speaker 1: your minds crazy for the last months, the week eight weeks. Yeah,
19:55
Speaker 1: I mean there's definitely been Like I said yesterday, there's
19:57
Speaker 1: been some drama, there's been some distractions, and UM, you
20:01
Speaker 1: can't ever go back though, you just gotta move forward,
20:03
Speaker 1: and you know where we're at right now. Coach Bev's
20:06
Speaker 1: o our head coach the rest of the season. And
20:08
Speaker 1: I have a lot of respect for for Bev and
20:09
Speaker 1: who he is, and um, he's he's earned my respect,
20:12
Speaker 1: and so I mean we're gonna all follow him. And
20:15
Speaker 1: I'm excited about these last four games and just to
20:17
Speaker 1: go play our best and finish with the momentum to
20:21
Speaker 1: say that a tout of left record means that the
20:24
Speaker 1: last four game they heal, they're out of the YadA, YadA, YadA.
20:28
Speaker 1: But for you as players and either yourself were and
20:31
Speaker 1: other guys in that locker room, how how big are
20:34
Speaker 1: these last four game you think to moving things forward,
20:37
Speaker 1: you know in a positive way. Momentums everything, And I
20:40
Speaker 1: think you, um, when you have, especially NFL season so long,
20:45
Speaker 1: a lot of ups and downs, long season, as you
20:46
Speaker 1: get to the home stretch, especially after not having a
20:49
Speaker 1: good year, you need that momentum going into the off season,
20:51
Speaker 1: and um, that's that's just big for the morale of
20:55
Speaker 1: the team, for how you look at how you approach
20:57
Speaker 1: the off season going into it. You always want to
20:59
Speaker 1: feel like you ended on a good note. Obviously, there's
21:01
Speaker 1: always gonna be things to work on. It's always gonna
21:04
Speaker 1: be areas to improve. Everyone's got their own their own
21:06
Speaker 1: things that they're going to look at and evaluate. But
21:09
Speaker 1: for us, if we can go finish strong, I mean,
21:12
Speaker 1: that'll be great going in the offseason having some confidence,
21:14
Speaker 1: a momentum, something to build on. And we need that.
21:16
Speaker 1: And so we're looking at these games, I mean like
21:18
Speaker 1: their playoff games, every game trying to win. Let's go four, No,
21:22
Speaker 1: let's go onet to know this week and then go, um,
21:24
Speaker 1: figure out a way to beat the Jets next week.
21:26
Speaker 1: So that's that's how we're looking at it. And UM,
21:29
Speaker 1: that's just gonna be our approach. The last month of
21:31
Speaker 1: the season was a captain, Trevor, what we're as a captain?
21:34
Speaker 1: What were some of the tangible steps you needed to
21:37
Speaker 1: take over the past eight hours for the betterment of
21:40
Speaker 1: your team? Um, I mean, honestly, just just be the
21:43
Speaker 1: same person. I think that's when things are crazy. I've
21:46
Speaker 1: I've said it a few times when things are crazy, Um,
21:49
Speaker 1: consistency wins and just being the same day and day out.
21:53
Speaker 1: But I think being positive, um, And the last thing
21:55
Speaker 1: I wanted for all this this whole situation is everyone
21:58
Speaker 1: to kind of go easy and start saying all these
22:01
Speaker 1: different things like I think we've done a good job
22:03
Speaker 1: as a team of really keeping everything internal and showing
22:07
Speaker 1: respect for anyone involved in the situation and just taking
22:11
Speaker 1: a day by day that's all you can do. And um,
22:13
Speaker 1: like I said, I've just been been proud to be
22:15
Speaker 1: a part of the team that's handled it this way.
22:17
Speaker 1: And obviously there's been some challenges, but um, it's cool
22:20
Speaker 1: to see how how everybody handled it. And then now,
22:22
Speaker 1: like I said, just to move forward, and um turn
22:25
Speaker 1: over the page, like we gotta we gotta keep going.
22:27
Speaker 1: You know, we got four games left and um, but yeah,
22:29
Speaker 1: I think for me, it's just keep being positive, be
22:31
Speaker 1: the same person, and be that consistent voice. If the
22:34
Speaker 1: drama scale was peeked over the last week, where do
22:37
Speaker 1: you expect it to be the next four weeks? Uh,
22:40
Speaker 1: somewhere a lot lower. I don't know. I don't know
22:43
Speaker 1: the answer to that. Cornerback Shaquille Griffin was later asked
22:46
Speaker 1: what kind of coach this team needs? Knowing these players
22:50
Speaker 1: in this locker room, what kind of head coach does
22:52
Speaker 1: this group needs succeed moving forward? Um? For a head
22:56
Speaker 1: coach for this team, I just need to, uh feel
22:59
Speaker 1: like this lockeroni the head coach that actually believe in
23:01
Speaker 1: what their players are saying, you know, trusting that, you
23:04
Speaker 1: know that we can all make this work. This is
23:06
Speaker 1: not a one man show. UM. I feel like sometimes
23:09
Speaker 1: head coach and come in but like you know, I'm
23:11
Speaker 1: just gonna slip around. This is my way, let's do it,
23:13
Speaker 1: and sometimes they forget about us. So for any head coach,
23:16
Speaker 1: you you know this, how to take on this job
23:19
Speaker 1: or whatever the case may be. You know, trust your teammates.
23:22
Speaker 1: We can do this together. We can win this together.
23:24
Speaker 1: This is a team effort. So I feel like that'll
23:27
Speaker 1: be my main message, Let's do it together. That's a
23:29
Speaker 1: team shot up. Obviously, you've never been through something like this.
23:33
Speaker 1: I know Trevor mentioned that Marv's been through it, Jamal.
23:36
Speaker 1: I know it's her, but he's been through it. What's
23:38
Speaker 1: it been like for you emotionally? I know we're been
23:41
Speaker 1: boarding you us in four hours and now it's it's
23:44
Speaker 1: all good. It's all good. Uh. My main thing I
23:46
Speaker 1: try to keep my same emotion, my levels the same. UM.
23:49
Speaker 1: I try to control what I can control. You know,
23:51
Speaker 1: you start to do things outside your means is tough, um.
23:54
Speaker 1: And that my main thing is keeping the focus, the
23:56
Speaker 1: main focus. And that's like I said, you know, the
23:59
Speaker 1: next game, these players and uh man, So I try
24:01
Speaker 1: to keep my emotions the same way because I can't.
24:03
Speaker 1: I know these guys are depending on me the brain
24:06
Speaker 1: of energy to be focused and be right, being vocal.
24:09
Speaker 1: I have a lot of them played already, so I'm
24:10
Speaker 1: gonna just handled that part first. And you know the
24:13
Speaker 1: way everything gets to plays itself out, you know, it's
24:15
Speaker 1: exactly how I was supposed to happen. Like I said,
24:17
Speaker 1: I control the controls. That's all I can do. How
24:20
Speaker 1: much interaction? If you have coached Devil, I know he
24:22
Speaker 1: works with the offensive guys, but what you're impression on him,
24:24
Speaker 1: and since he's taken over as interim head coach, well
24:26
Speaker 1: I understand. I've been around him already back in Seattle,
24:29
Speaker 1: so um, it's nothing new for me. I got a
24:32
Speaker 1: ton of respect for that guy. Um. I know he's
24:34
Speaker 1: gonna put us in the right situation and point us
24:37
Speaker 1: in the right direction to get this turned around the
24:39
Speaker 1: win game. So like, I have the most respect and
24:42
Speaker 1: trusting that guy, uh to get things right. You know. Shoot,
24:45
Speaker 1: it's a lot of pressure on him as well. You know,
24:48
Speaker 1: let's understand that. But shoe man, if it's anyway I
24:50
Speaker 1: can take some of the pressure. I don't want to
24:51
Speaker 1: do it. I'm gonna help. Like I said, this is
24:53
Speaker 1: a team effort. Whatever you gotta do, let's do it together.
24:56
Speaker 1: And I want him to understand that part. But I
24:57
Speaker 1: got the most respect for the that guy, um a
25:01
Speaker 1: lot of trust and we're gonna get this figure out together.
25:03
Speaker 1: This has been the most distraction fields season you've been
25:06
Speaker 1: a part of since you've been in the NFL. For me,
25:10
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it was different. It was different, but I
25:12
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I learned a lot. I agrew as a person,
25:15
Speaker 1: aggre as a leader, and uh one thing about it.
25:17
Speaker 1: And don't don't matter what season, No, you're talking about
25:20
Speaker 1: year six or seven. You know you're talking about the
25:22
Speaker 1: next five years from now. I know for a fact
25:24
Speaker 1: I'm prepared for anything. I can tell you that much.
25:26
Speaker 1: And that's how much I learned from that. So I'm grateful.
25:29
Speaker 1: I'm definitely grateful. You know, I learned a lot. I've
25:32
Speaker 1: seen a lot, went through a lot, but I grew.
25:35
Speaker 1: I progress may changes for the better. I'm gonna continue
25:39
Speaker 1: to do that. So I appreciate it. I have a
25:41
Speaker 1: bit of it. The full press conferences from the week
