  Speaker 1: on the on the line this week.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, getting'll go.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Play competitive, meaningful game in December is really what it
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: comes down to. And and ah, you know, hostile environment,
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: you know, very quality opponent, team that's won the fourth
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: quarter and a lot of football games over the last
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: two years. And so it's a great opportunity for us
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: to go, you know, compete and earn everything we get.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: How is it he can play both sides equally?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: What makes him good is a cover gain the length, speed, combination, physicality,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: ball skills, anticipation, you name it. Very talented player, competitive,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: will tackle. You know, he's kind of got all the
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: skills and trades. Obviously ranting defensive player of the year.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: So very talented player that we're we've got to be
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: aware of, you know, have to go and win one
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: on one matchups when we do have those opportunities and
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: give our guys quality throws to put in places where
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: he can't you know, go get his length and hands
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: on it. So definitely somebody that we need to be
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: aware of throughout the entire game.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Simulating to that practice yeah.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Carlett Riley, and you know Nick will be able to
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: help us out with that a little bit this week.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: And look, he's done a great job moving off his spot.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: You know when he is playing on time and in rhythm,
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: he's got a quick trigger, quick release, strong arm, and
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: then you know so much of the off schedule and
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: him being able to escape, get out, remain a passer,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: but also hurts you with his legs if he does
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: decide to take off. So we've we've got to do
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: a great job plastering run into the football and also
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: like in the back end, we've got to make sure
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: we are covering, compeding and staying sticky throughout the echo
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: of the whistle.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: That put more pressure on them. You know, it's a.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Combo, right. We watched it today, a bunch of clips
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: of it this morning as a team. And how much
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: in unison that is and how much that does play
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: a part. You know, I showed some clips of guys,
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: you know, feeling like they had something covered or may
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: have had them down or corralled, and then the play
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: is not over. It's definitely one of those things that's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: one of his best traits is just going and being
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a football player as a coach's son who understands the game.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Fifty eight sus what stands out about their talent and
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: their scheme.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, very talented group. Multiple both guys on the edge
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: can go, you know, both guys Cooper and Benito. Benito
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: does a great job jumping the snap count understand hearing
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: the snap county could tell he studies it. Obviously a
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: you know benefit for them being at home for that standpoint,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: and he's got to quit get off inside island. Does
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: a great job rushing at the three technique or at
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: the guard position. And I've had a lot of respect
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: for him for a long time as a Northeast dude
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: that went to BC. Got a lot of respect for him.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: And schematically, they do a nice job of you know,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: not rushing for all that much. It's usually five man rush,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: which you got a lot of one on ones out there,
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: and great opportunities for our guys to continue to take
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: steps in the right direction and take it personally to
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: protect the quarterback, especially in a hostile environment.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: There's been through a lot of different situations, you know,
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: highly favored, big underdogs and overtime wins and comebacks and things.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Of that nature.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Just just how does that prepare this team for something
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: like a game like it's gonna happen on Sunday, And
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: how valuable has that been drought the season.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: It's good to win different ways, you know, you learn
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: about your team each week, and adversity is usually how
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: we learn. So we've been able to go through some
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: of that. This will definitely be the loudest environment we've
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: been in thus far, so we've got to prepare for
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that during the week. Places I've only been once in
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: twenty eighteen. We played there when I was in LA
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: It was a really cool atmosphere. You can tell that
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: teams have struggled specifically in the fourth quarter against these
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: guys over the last two years of whether it's communication issues,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: whether it's fatigue, energy, whatever it is. But some teams
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: have had a hard time in the fourth quarter, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: with mised assignments or execution or communication, whatever it is.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: And then also you know Denver being able to utilize
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: some tempo in the fourth and get their rushers going
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: whatever it is. So it's going to be a definitely
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: a challenging atmosphere for sure.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: You getting a lot of compliments online for the facial
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: touchdown in the red zone, walk us through the high
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: candy that you gave on that and.
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Like what went in to find in those r D Sunday. Yeah,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: I can't take I mean that was Shane Waldron does
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: our red zone and so he was brought that one
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: to me earlier last week, and a play that we've
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: run and had installed for a long time and just
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: kind of window dressed it a little bit differently with
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: with TJ coming in you know, orbit motion there and
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: just trying to peel off the flat defender and give
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: those guys something different to look at to get to
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: and open in the end zone there. So it was
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: just a good job by our staff of kind of
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: plays off plays and and just doing something that could
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: create a little bit of eye discipline issues and get
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: to and open there.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: We have played the.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: Two with Cam have little during pre game when you
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: look at seventy yards for a funeral and how interested
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: are do.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: You see what his range?
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: Was cool to watch. I know, my golf ball goes
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a lot further than it does out here, I think,
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: you know, so I'm excited to see what that looks
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: like and you know, maybe it's a big factor in
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: the game. Maybe it's not, but I do think it'll
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: be pretty cool to watch him at least let her
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: up to.
• 6:26
  Speaker 4: Say, kind of saving your role up here a little bit.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, trust Laquin too. We've obviously trusted Laquin for a
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: long time since he's got here to help us, whether
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: it was in past protection special teams, and then when
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: he's gotten carries, you know, he runs violently and it's
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: taking care of the football. So excited about that and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: fully just you know, anticipate him stepping into that role
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: and being able to execute for us. Do you have
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: any past experience with DJ Dallas coming in or is
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: that just somebody who all identified as somebody who can
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: come in return. Yeah, I haven't personally, but a number
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of guys on our staff has, Shane, Chad, Spencer, Whipple
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: all had experience with him at one point or another,
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: And yeah, that was something that we looked at for
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: the return game. And also a veteran that you know,
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: played in football games and knows how to go handle
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: atmospheres like this, and I've only heard good things about them,
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: so look forward to getting them onboarded.
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: You get a lot of grace inside the building for
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: your community communication skills that are the mind they're billionaire.
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: But what does that go back to, like where you
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: you credit somebody with getting you there?
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think great role models throughout life. Obviously grew
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: up in a household of a coach, a football coach
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: that was, you know, very communication and being honest with
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: people were pretty at the forefront of the way that
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: my dad operated as a coach, whether it was at
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: in college or high school. And then as you go
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: into the profession itself and you've got great mentors all throughout.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: My college coach was one of the best communicators that
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: I had been around, Don Brown, with the way that
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: he communicated with us as players but also his staff.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: And then you go to LA and you see probably
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: the best example of it with Sean and you know
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: just how in Unison everybody was when I got there
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: and for those years there that keep the main thing
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: the main thing, and in the standards are high, but
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: everybody's going to make mistakes. Everybody's going to have an
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: ability to show that they can improve and be coached.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: And I think that as much as you can help
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: foster those relationships, the better off it's going to be lost.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: Which you've seen you thinking like whether it be the
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: kitchen staff grounds group. Is that something you picked up
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: a long way er?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Is that your own?
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was something that again Shane Waldrin kind of
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: we collaborated on with Jake Kaiser and you know, just no,
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: hadn't done it much in years past. I thought it
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: was a great idea from some of the guys bringing
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: that up to Look, it's so much of what we
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: do every day is very seamless and easy because of
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: the work of a lot of others, and we get
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: the glory on Sundays, and we also get the negatives
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: right when you lose, and so win, lose or draw.
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: Our jobs are easier because of the people in this
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: building and the amount of time and effort that they
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: spend and pride that they put into their jobs and
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: so very important, especially around the holiday season. Will give
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: thanks as such.
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: Have you seen less trade water or deal with the risk,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: deal with any east the corner.
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: Tough dude that wanted to play football right and it
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: was hard for him not being out, you know, continue
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: to get him going and to get him more and
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: more reps and comfortable being back that back out there,
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: so made a huge play for us on the on
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: the fourth down stop over the last few weeks and
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: you know, hopefully continues to ascend.
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: There's another strung land and no sacks allowed for the
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: old line again.
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: Just talk about this offs line, you know, clicking at
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: the right time.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Cole, We've seen him step into many roles right
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: and and be able to fill those admirably. And you
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: know last week was no different. The whole group protected
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: their tails off and we're kind of cleaning the pocket
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: physically and violently. Great test for us this week, as
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: you guys know, and hopefully be able to go run
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: the ball a little bit better.
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: Is it harder when the sacks come from everywhere as
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: opposed to dealing with just one guy? I'm assuming how
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: much harder it is to prepare for that? Definitely? Yeah.
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: I mean you you try to prepare for chips and
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: relief for you know, one guy or so, it's hard
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: to do it at both the ends and inside. It's
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: just hard to go help, and especially where they do
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: so much five man rush that by alignment alone makes
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: it difficult and challenging to find where you're gonna go
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: and try to provide a little relief and help for
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: so they do it both with their personnel and they
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: have good scheme. I mean Ben Sjosa is one of
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: the best out there right now and got a lot
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: of respect for the way that they've put their players
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: in the best positions to be successful. And you know,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: winning one on one matchups is what this league's all about.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I had been in the league seven years his first
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: career starting the other day. How did he how did
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he look? How did you respond?
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: And that's done a nice job. I think all the
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: offensive linemen would tell you that he's made their lives
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: pretty frustrating for a long time since he got with us.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: You know, he's been doing everything we've asked him to do.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: He's very strong, he's strong hands. You shake his hand
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: and it's like breaks it. He's tough. He just does
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: what he's asked to do and hopefully keep getting better
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: for us.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: Are a lot of the guys that have been here
• 12:17
  Speaker 4: for a few years and said, this is a new
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: Jaguars team. Just from your perspective from when you came
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: into now, how much growth have you've seen only in
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: what they ever to do on the fields, are also
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: just coming.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Together as root off the field.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the most important thing is the
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: collaboration chemistry between the players and coaches as well. You know,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the trust level I think is maybe a little bit
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: more collaborative and unique at this time. And in terms
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: of look, we've been through a lot of games together,
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: We've been through a lot of weeks, a lot of practices,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: a lot of walkthroughs, a lot of meetings, and I
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: think at this point in the season there's a trust
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: level between all of us that I think they trust
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: that we're trying to put him in the best place
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: position to be successful, and I trust that they're going
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: to go out and play their ass off every Sunday.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: So that's something that's pretty fun to watch.
