Press Pass | Liam Coen, Trevor Lawrence & Jourdan Lewis on Joint Practice w/ Dolphins · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: I thought it was physical. That much was pretty obvious
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: on both sides of the ball. I thought there was
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: some physicality, you know. I think you're seeing different defensive structure,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: different offensive systems. It's great for our guys to just
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: get that good work in. I'll have to watch the
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: tape to see exactly what occurred, but you know, solid work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: Did you feel like your team got enough work?
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: And yeah, I mean it is what it is.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: I mean we were you know, they've had multiple joints already,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: we had none, So to be able to come out
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: and compete against somebody else in general is great. So
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: I do think that it was good quality workforce. You know,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: could we have been able to go more just because
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: we're not sure.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: What we're gonna do with this next game?
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably, But it's good to come out of it
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: healthy as well.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: How do you weigh what you see out here compared
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: to what you've seen just what it's your team versus
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: your guys.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's you're out of a different comfort
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: zone when you're against somebody else right in a different arena,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: you know, seeing different things and so maybe things that
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: maybe can get let go in practice when you're just
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: going against each other. Well, it's not gonna fly. Somebody
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: else is gonna probably take advantage of it. So you know,
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: that was something a couple of good learning lessons for
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: us in the red zone on both sides of the ball.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: So it was good.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: I know you were hoping Travis could yees today it's
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: something happened there or how was he doing?
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: No, it was just more like do we want him
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: now or potentially not in you know Carolina, Like it
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: was more just being smart about you know, the next
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: few weeks because the ultimate goal is uh Carolina, So
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: that's the thing that's that top of mind right now.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: And for him, could he have probably gone? I think
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: so like if this was Carolina, would you have probably played? Yeah,
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: so we're moving in the right direction.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: The yeah, similar type deal.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Like both those guys practiced yesterday in red jerseys or
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Travis didn't do as much, but they could have gone.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: It's just a matter of like it's not the time,
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: not the time.
• 1:54
  Speaker 6: And then obviously every day in training camp is competitive,
• 1:56
  Speaker 6: but seeing it here against another team, do you see
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: the competitiveness and the compete I go up a little bit.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you see seven a little bit differently
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: in ways, right, which is something we've obviously been told
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: and have seen as well in different points during camp.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: But you can definitely see his uptick change a bit,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: which was nice to see.
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: But it was good. It was good quality work. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: was pleased with.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: The effort in the way that they went about it.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: They took this thing seriously and tried to have a
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: lot of pride in what they did.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: Your first joint practice as a head coach, was it
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: important for you just to get one in this year
• 2:32
  Speaker 6: and just see how you want to kind of do
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: it moving forward?
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Like you're you know, we had a schedule
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: planned and then that schedule got changed, so you have
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: to be able to navigate all these things and when
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you get We went against them last year and joint
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: in Tampa, so I kind of knew what it was
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: going to be in a lot of ways, you know.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: So it was It's a good learning experience because it's like,
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: all right, do you want to set them up earlier
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: more and not play him in the preseason games, or
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: do you want to do something later. It's just it'll
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: help us navigate this moving forward.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: You talked about the sun Brolli in the rap.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: It's important to get Mason and irvent this week in
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: terms of protecting him.
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: For the open.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Absolutely.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You know you felt them yesterday as well in practice.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Now we weren't in a padded deal we have the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: spiders on, but you definitely felt them a little bit more.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: You felt our size inside a little bit more yesterday.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I gotta go watch the tape.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: I didn't see a ton of the defense, but I
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: know I think we stopped the run fairly well from
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: what I understand. So it's nice to have those guys
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: back in their long, big physical dudes, and we know
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: what they can, you know, whatever it can do in
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways, even though we haven't seen it.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: But Mason, man, he's second year player and needs as
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: many reps as possible, so this is great work for him.
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: With specific challenge.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: Is good has present to you that you were so
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: happy to witness firsthand them having to face themselves.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so they will do.
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: They do a nice job with man alignments and playing
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: zone and zone alignments and playing man so you can
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: displace the tight end or the running back and they'll
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: actually we call mask coverage where they're showing you one
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: thing and on the snap of the ball changes and
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: so that is really good experience for us to be
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: able to get that because a lot of there are
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: a lot of teams that do it.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: They've just done it.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: They did it well today and it confused us a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: few times in the red zone, not just the quarterback,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: but the routes and kind of how those things end
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: up playing out when you think you're getting one coverage
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: on the snap of the ball and then it changes.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: Had a target.
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: It was a deep ball down the.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so they were showing man coverage is exactly what
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: it was, and they flipped it to a Cover two. Really,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: I think it was Cover eight, which we call quarter
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: quarter half to the field or to the nickel side,
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: and the weak safety didn't push enough.
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: We had them down the pipe. We just got to
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: throw and catch.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: But you know, those are the ones that for him
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: to see, for tr to see those, it's great experience
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: before we actually get going into the season.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, I want to hit it. I want to
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: hit it today more than anything.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: But now we can look at it, learn from it,
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: and then apply it into the next setting.
• 5:12
  Speaker 8: I was gonna ask you about your running backs tooting
• 5:15
  Speaker 8: look great today. Where are you at and shaping how
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: that backfield committee's going to work?
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: And yeah, we're still right in the think of it.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I mean, I think that we've seen great things
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: from all four of those guys. Really knowing that it's
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: going to be darn near impossible to have four with
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: a jersey on game day.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: That's the challenge that we have to work through over.
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: The next few weeks. You know, he did.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: I thought he had a better day than he did
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: yesterday at practice. He stepped it up a little bit
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: better today. You know, one and four got some got
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: some quality work. But they've continued to kind of do
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: the right thing for us, and and then Quinn Man
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: in past protection continues to do a nice job. So
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: we've got some work to do over the next few
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: weeks here before Carolina to figure out who's going to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: get a jersey, and special teams has a lot to
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: do that as well.
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: Sure, anything you can take away from what happened with
• 6:03
  Speaker 8: your backfield last year that you can apply to how
• 6:06
  Speaker 8: you figure it shaking out this year.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: It's hard to keep a lot of them happy, but
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: if they understand that injuries are going to occur, things
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: are going to happen. And what we learned last year
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: in time was you need three like you need three
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: good ones that you can feel I can go and
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: step in and your offense doesn't change. That is kind
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of what we were trying to do with, you know,
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: acquiring those two in the draft, was make sure that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: we have a stable Is it sometimes hard to keep
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: them all happy?
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Sure, but I'd rather have more than less.
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: When Brian raise his game in a setting like this
• 6:42
  Speaker 9: and one of the few examples of it so far,
• 6:45
  Speaker 9: how unusual is that because we've seen the other way. Obviously,
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: guys play well in the practice field and not play
• 6:50
  Speaker 9: well in those games. But is it an unusual trait
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: that you've seen as a code.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It is a little. You would absolutely prefer that.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Then shoot, you see so many whether it's quarterbacks or
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: any position, look great in practice or in roa and
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: it's great, and then when the bullets start flying, they
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: can't play the game. So you would much prefer that.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: My only challenge to him is, and it has been, is, well,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: think about what if you can become a dominant player
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: in practice, what will that actually do to your game?
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Knowing that shooting. You're not surprising anybody this year. They're
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: all gonna know who you are. You're gonna see different
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: defensive structures and coverages and doubles. And for you to
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: be able to dominate every single day you walk on
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: the grass, regardless of who is against you will get
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: better and he needs to continue to get better if
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: he wants to go where he wants to go.
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: Is gonna play some of the starters? He doesn't say
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: how long? What's your plan?
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we are not going to play our starters. You know,
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: it's we got them the two weeks of work in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the first two games. You know, in an ideal world,
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: looking back like you, if you had the joints earlier on,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: you wouldn't play. And whenn't playing, maybe a series in
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: the third And that's what we did in Tampa last year,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: and I liked it. But you know, it'll be a
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: lot of young guys getting some quality work. And there's
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys that we we got to that
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: are gonna play, that are fighting for a roster spot
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: or fighting for a roster spot potentially on somebody else's team.
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: And so this is valuable tape, a great challenge that's
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: something we're gonna obviously go up against. We're all gonna
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: go up against, and but it's a good opportunity for
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: those guys as well in.
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: A lot of ways.
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: Is that pay kind of in the barn in terms
• 8:30
  Speaker 6: of who you're envisioning for the fifty three other guys
• 8:32
  Speaker 6: you have right now?
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I think you know the guys that are on our team.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: I think there's a lot of there's clarity. You know,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: there's definitely gonna I would I would assume there's probably
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: gonna be some players on other people's rosters that will
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: be on our roster. I mean, that's the reality of
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: this thing. So you know, at multiple positions, we have
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: guys that are either on the border or hey man,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go and look elsewhere when the
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: time comes. And that's just the reality of this time
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: that we're in this phase. But there are some guys
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: that are going to be playing this weekend that are
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: fighting for roster spots.
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: Brian Thomas two ways he helps you win.
• 9:07
  Speaker 8: Number One obvious the speed and everything else that gives
• 9:09
  Speaker 8: you a receiver, but also his ability to draw double
• 9:12
  Speaker 8: coverage and get other guys open underneath. How do you
• 9:14
  Speaker 8: weigh those two things when it comes to the whole
• 9:16
  Speaker 8: passing games.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was something that we saw in LA with
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Cooper A lot was you can kind of dictate some
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: things knowing that you know maybe what their answer will be.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: And then last year with Mike Evans that that was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: so much of our red zone game plan was based
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: on him. It was like, all right, put them over
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: there three by one. If they double him, we should
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: have numbers to the front side or run it. If
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: they single them, well the ball needs to go there.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: And that was a lot of kind of what we
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: tried to do, whether it was red zone, third down,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: whatever it is. So it's a challenge for him, it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: a challenge for us as coaches to be able to, Okay,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: he is getting doubled, we need to move him so
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that he doesn't get a double, or let's use it
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: as a decoy here to allow get somebody else to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: match up that maybe favorable.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: Excuse me for us speaking individually, there's a couple couple
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: throws I missed and then just a couple of miscommunications,
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: you know, And it's good to go against a different defense.
• 10:14
  Speaker 4: We've been going against our defense all camp.
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: So just to see different looks, different disguises, to have
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: to really play each play as its own and go
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: back to some of our base rules as good for
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: us as an offense, and kind of just measuring stick like, hey,
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: this is where we're at.
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: This is kind of what we showed today. Let's like
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: learn from it and get better. So I think that's
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: just an honest assessment of the day.
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: There's some stuff to clean up, but I thought guys
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: competed hard, flew around.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: Just got to clean up some of the details, the
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: type of.
• 10:38
  Speaker 8: New challenges to adult this defense present to you that
• 10:41
  Speaker 8: you're kind of happy to see because you haven't faced
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: someone else.
• 10:45
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they do some great stuff. I think, just some
• 10:47
  Speaker 4: of the disguises they do.
• 10:49
  Speaker 10: You get used to playing against your own defense and
• 10:51
  Speaker 10: you see kind of the same disguises, so you start
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: to pick up on certain things and you can protect it.
• 10:56
  Speaker 10: But when you're seeing things for the first time, because
• 10:58
  Speaker 10: you can't really game plan all the time, when it's
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: preseason and joint practice, you don't know what they're gonna do.
• 11:03
  Speaker 10: They could do new stuff, so it's coming out here.
• 11:05
  Speaker 10: Just like that's why I said, having to play and
• 11:07
  Speaker 10: then react to Sometimes you get in some bad situations
• 11:09
  Speaker 10: because you might have sent the protection one way, they
• 11:11
  Speaker 10: bring the pressure the other way, and then what do
• 11:13
  Speaker 10: you do from there as a quarterback with the ball?
• 11:15
  Speaker 10: But also guys run the routes. How do they run
• 11:16
  Speaker 10: their routes? Speed them up? All those things and we
• 11:18
  Speaker 10: had some great looks you know that didn't all go
• 11:20
  Speaker 10: our way, but that we'll learn from.
• 11:22
  Speaker 9: Where you've been through five of these camps. Now, how
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: do you process the ups and downs, the softy play
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: versus the good stuff, and how you feel going now
• 11:30
  Speaker 9: into the regular season with the games and camp done.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I feel good.
• 11:34
  Speaker 10: I think are the work we've put in will show
• 11:37
  Speaker 10: during the season. The work we put in during camp.
• 11:39
  Speaker 10: Today wasn't our best showing. But you know, Grant made
• 11:42
  Speaker 10: a great point to the quarterbacks after practice. At the
• 11:44
  Speaker 10: end of the day, we're not gonna be judged on
• 11:46
  Speaker 10: how today went. You know that this is just today,
• 11:48
  Speaker 10: and you put it in a box, you learn from it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 10: you move on. That doesn't determine what we do in
• 11:51
  Speaker 10: Week one versus Carolina, just like tomorrow won't determine necessarily
• 11:55
  Speaker 10: what we do in Carolina. It's just an accumulation of
• 11:57
  Speaker 10: all the days and taking all the information in and
• 12:00
  Speaker 10: learning from it, growing from it, and understanding that it's
• 12:02
  Speaker 10: all making us better to get us to a place
• 12:04
  Speaker 10: to where by week one ready to go and there's
• 12:08
  Speaker 10: you know, we're counting down the days now, there's not
• 12:10
  Speaker 10: many more prices left. So he made a great point
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: of just you know, making every rep count and that
• 12:14
  Speaker 10: doesn't mean that it's going to be perfect, but really
• 12:16
  Speaker 10: learning from it and being focused and dialed in and
• 12:18
  Speaker 10: having a standard for how we play.
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: Knowing you're kind of counting down the days to week one,
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: but there's still a lot of work left to be done.
• 12:26
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it's just taking it one day at a time truly.
• 12:29
  Speaker 10: I mean it's a cliche, but it really is. That's
• 12:31
  Speaker 10: what you have to do in camp when you feel
• 12:33
  Speaker 10: that you feel this season right around the corner and
• 12:35
  Speaker 10: kind of now we're going to be after this, after
• 12:37
  Speaker 10: this game against Miami, we'll be in that little awkward
• 12:39
  Speaker 10: phase right between like game planning and you know camp,
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: like you're right in between it. So you know, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 10: think the good teams take care of business that week
• 12:49
  Speaker 10: and really find ways to get better.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: We might not start game planning. We might start game.
• 12:52
  Speaker 10: Planning a little bit, but make those reps count and
• 12:55
  Speaker 10: take care of our bodies and really maximize all the
• 12:58
  Speaker 10: days that we do have.
• 13:00
  Speaker 8: Bit about Brian's ability to step up when there's a
• 13:03
  Speaker 8: real competition going on out there, is that something.
• 13:06
  Speaker 7: You trust him?
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure. I mean you've seen him do it enough.
• 13:10
  Speaker 10: I think there's you know, you've just seen a guy
• 13:13
  Speaker 10: make a ton of plays when it matters and when
• 13:16
  Speaker 10: the when the lights are bright, I guess, so to speak.
• 13:18
  Speaker 10: You know, he he comes to play and guy, I
• 13:20
  Speaker 10: have a lot of trust and I think our relationship
• 13:22
  Speaker 10: has grown a lot this off season in this camp.
• 13:24
  Speaker 10: So it's exciting to feel that relationship coming along, and
• 13:28
  Speaker 10: not just on the field but off the field, because
• 13:29
  Speaker 10: I think it all ties in together. The more you
• 13:31
  Speaker 10: know someone, the more chemistry you have, the more you
• 13:34
  Speaker 10: can talk to someone in a certain way to see
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: what's going on. And I think that's been one of
• 13:37
  Speaker 10: the best parts about camp for me, is building those
• 13:39
  Speaker 10: relationships with guys like Brian and guys like Travis and
• 13:43
  Speaker 10: you know, Parker's been here, but Diami like guys that
• 13:45
  Speaker 10: are newer. I think it's been really.
• 13:47
  Speaker 9: Good how do you feel physically coming off all this
• 13:52
  Speaker 9: stuff in last year, and how do you feel.
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: Like you're throwing it.
• 13:55
  Speaker 10: I feel really good physically. I feel very good. Shoulder
• 13:59
  Speaker 10: haven't had any issues, so my body feels good. I
• 14:01
  Speaker 10: think I've thrown it really well in camp. You know,
• 14:04
  Speaker 10: like I said, miss a couple today, go back watch
• 14:06
  Speaker 10: the tape. See some of the fundamentals. Can sometimes get
• 14:08
  Speaker 10: a little out of whack when you start seeing some
• 14:10
  Speaker 10: different pressures and stuff, So it'll be good to learn
• 14:12
  Speaker 10: from the tape. But I really feel like I'm throwing
• 14:14
  Speaker 10: it well and just got to continue that, you know,
• 14:16
  Speaker 10: going into week one, and like I said, to care
• 14:18
  Speaker 10: of my body.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: And Coach has done a great job with the camp schedule.
• 14:21
  Speaker 10: I think he's he's pushed us, but he's kept us
• 14:24
  Speaker 10: fresh enough to where we still get good work and
• 14:25
  Speaker 10: guys are raid to roll and feel fresh.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Things got chippy a couple of times.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Is it kind of a positive?
• 14:32
  Speaker 7: Without me going too far to see.
• 14:33
  Speaker 6: That edge, that kind of competitiveness, wouldn't see a team
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: on the other side of you guys.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: For sure.
• 14:37
  Speaker 10: I mean there's times where you got to get the
• 14:39
  Speaker 10: work in and it's like all right, guy, let's come on,
• 14:40
  Speaker 10: let's get some work in, you know.
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: But that goes both ways.
• 14:42
  Speaker 10: And I think if you it's something you want in
• 14:45
  Speaker 10: your team, you're not gonna get pushed around. So it's
• 14:48
  Speaker 10: you never want to encourage fighting. But they're all, can
• 14:52
  Speaker 10: you guys hear me?
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Still? I don't know.
• 14:54
  Speaker 10: Let's probably messing us up. But every team should be
• 14:57
  Speaker 10: saying the same thing. It's like, you don't encourage fighting.
• 14:59
  Speaker 10: What's almost gonna fight. You don't just you don't just
• 15:02
  Speaker 10: let that happen to your teammate, Let that happen to yourself.
• 15:05
  Speaker 10: You know, you know, you're never the nail. So I
• 15:07
  Speaker 10: think the both teams kind of showed that today and
• 15:09
  Speaker 10: you see some pushback and that's fine, Like we gotta
• 15:11
  Speaker 10: keep it between the lines, but there's gonna be some
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: of that, and I think that's part of the support.
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Is a violent sport.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: How valuable like each one of these reps is, But
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: for a guy you're trying to get the time and
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: down with, like Travis Hunters missed a couple of days
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: at how valuable is the time? I know he's kind
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: of been getting those mental reps on the side, but
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: how much I guess extra worker are gonna have to
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: do to kind of make sure that you're there with
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: him when it breaks up.
• 15:35
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I think you know, we've gotten a lot of
• 15:36
  Speaker 10: extra work just throughout the offseason, after practice whatever, because
• 15:40
  Speaker 10: you know, he's been doing both of their stays where
• 15:42
  Speaker 10: we missed some reps. So we've been trying to keep
• 15:44
  Speaker 10: up with with that already, but even more so now
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: that he's missed some time. So hopefully we'll get him
• 15:50
  Speaker 10: back out there running around really soon and can kind
• 15:53
  Speaker 10: of make up some some ground that we might have missed.
• 15:55
  Speaker 10: I mean, the offense is in, so I wouldn't say
• 15:58
  Speaker 10: he necessarily missed a lot installation.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Guys, we've already put everything in.
• 16:01
  Speaker 10: It's just more so getting him back used to hearing everything,
• 16:05
  Speaker 10: because you know, when you're out for a little bit
• 16:07
  Speaker 10: sometimes the brain gets a little foggy.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: So just making sure he's sharp and ready to go.
• 16:10
  Speaker 10: And then there is a couple of routes that we
• 16:13
  Speaker 10: haven't got to throw a ton of this spring just
• 16:15
  Speaker 10: because of the limited time, so just working those on air,
• 16:18
  Speaker 10: really just timing stuff.
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: You know, Then when it comes to.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Man coveraging him going and winning and making a play.
• 16:23
  Speaker 10: I'm not as worried about that. It's gonna give him
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: a good throw.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You had mentioned earlier just about building a relationship with
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: guys off.
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: I'm curious thing that it's first pop season, the first
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: training camp, the first of curious season.
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Liam is, how your relationship has been filmed.
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: Over this Me and Liam? Yeah, it's been awesome. I
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: think just the communication. He's very forward up front, you know,
• 16:42
  Speaker 4: the way he communicates is very direct.
• 16:44
  Speaker 10: It's been it's been awesome having him around, and he
• 16:46
  Speaker 10: talks to me between a lot of plays at practice.
• 16:49
  Speaker 10: After practice, he'll pop in our room, we'll talk about stuff.
• 16:52
  Speaker 10: I think obviously that's a there's something to that. It's
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: getting on the same page as your head coach one.
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: But also he's the play caller too, so like those
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: things are that relationship is really important, and knowing how
• 17:03
  Speaker 10: to how that back and forth goes, because there's some
• 17:06
  Speaker 10: things that you might see a little bit different because
• 17:07
  Speaker 10: I'm the one playing.
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: He sees it from a wider view.
• 17:10
  Speaker 10: And we've had some good instances where we've had to, hey,
• 17:13
  Speaker 10: talk about some stuff where it's like I didn't really
• 17:14
  Speaker 10: see it that way, and then we get on the
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: same page. So that's what camp's for us, what the
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: off seasons for iron out some of those things. And
• 17:20
  Speaker 10: he's been awesome. He's taught me a lot, a lot
• 17:22
  Speaker 10: about ball and excited to to really start the year more.
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Thanks, Thank y'all.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: How much when you learn about the defense to your teammates,
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: the whole group as a whole, competing in an atmosphere.
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: Like this, how resilient they are. Uh, it was hot,
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: we were doing special teams and the periods was coming
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: fast and then we you know, it was it was
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: back to back to back. We didn't have the offense
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: go and then we went. It was just you know, periods,
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: just us going. So the way they fought and went
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: out there and handled business, I mean, it means everything,
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: especially in this kind of environment.
• 17:51
  Speaker 7: It was hot, muggy, and we did we just got
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: after it. So I'm I'm I'm happy with you know
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: what we did.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Like I said, it's it's always something to improve some
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: always something that we can get better it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 7: But I think we're sending it in the right way.
• 18:03
  Speaker 9: Scuffles on the day two of a joint practice, guys
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: got into a few at me almost.
• 18:07
  Speaker 7: Like to see, Yeah, I think coach I think Coach
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Liam likes that.
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: Man like a little scuffle and then you know, uh,
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: the excitement will we get to see them want so
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: we gotta get it in.
• 18:15
  Speaker 7: You gotta get it in.
• 18:16
  Speaker 5: So I was happy that, you know, guys were protecting
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: each other going over there and not just letting guys
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: go out there and you know, fight for themselves. So
• 18:24
  Speaker 5: just being together, that's really what it's about. Just making
• 18:27
  Speaker 5: sure whatever we do is as a unit. And I
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: was happy with that for sure.
• 18:30
  Speaker 6: You look forward to practice like this, just doing the
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: competitiveness is gonna be up a little bit.
• 18:34
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I wanna practice.
• 18:35
  Speaker 5: I want to play against anybody, honestly, just getting looks,
• 18:38
  Speaker 5: you know, shoppening my craft, you know, that's that's something
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: I always want to do. Just making sure that you know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm ready for the season and I'm ready to
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: you know, go out there and compete with the best.
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: So this is a good, you know, benchmark for us
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: to see, you know, against the especially our unit, against
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: a fast group of good guys that that can get
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: the ball and be explosive.
• 18:54
  Speaker 7: So I feel like we did pretty good.
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: Back there a lot.
• 18:58
  Speaker 6: How much does it help you at a corner.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: Just having guys like that up front everything, Uh, it
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: just rupts the time of the offense and the rest
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: of the disrupt the timement of the quarterback and make
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: sure that you know he he knows that he has
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: a time and it's in his head. He gotta get
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: his ball out. So that means I can look at
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: the quarterback. You know, some sit on a few routes
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: and things like that, but he makes the whole defense.
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: They make the whole defense, you know, better and and
• 19:17
  Speaker 5: it makes our job easier. So I appreciate those guys
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: going out there and hunting and you know, not just
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: being one dimensional, you know, stopping and running things like that,
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: which I feel like we.
• 19:24
  Speaker 7: Did really good today too.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: How close is the defense to where it needs to
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: be for week one?
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 19:30
  Speaker 7: We just gotta keep as sending man, that's all we think.
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: That's all we worried about.
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: Just keep getting better and you know wherever, uh the
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: chips lie when when the first week goes it is.
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: But I feel like I'm really confident in this team,
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: this defense.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: I'm confident in our ability and our coaches, you know,
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: to put us in the right situation. So I'm I'm
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I'm extremely like I'm extremely I'm extremely glad.
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: To you know, see where we are right now. But
• 19:52
  Speaker 7: like I said, it's always room for improvement.
• 19:55
  Speaker 9: Confidence within, don't like what you're seeing the you move,
• 20:00
  Speaker 9: what you guys are trying to do, because obviously to
• 20:02
  Speaker 9: the outside you're not showing everything that this defense is
• 20:04
  Speaker 9: going to be. So so they're almost like a quiet
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: confidencelf wait until.
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: You I told Marsel the other day, Man, it's about,
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: you know, having faith and believing, just you know, trusting
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: each other, you know that we can do our job
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: and have each other's back and trust that we're gonna
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: do the right things and believing that we can be
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: one of the best defenses in the league. So that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 5: really it just just trusting and believing that we have
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: the right process, we had the right guys in the
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: room to go get the job done.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: Thanks, appreciate you pro
