  Speaker 2: right y, y, you're gonna a and then you don't
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: have any control over the divisions that you play.

  Speaker 2: So you know, y y, you just gotta continue one
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: week at a time and uh, you know, hopefully you
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: know from our standpoint that things year in year out
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: are gonna be sustainable and and we continue to have
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: you know, great teams come come to Jacksonville, and.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: I I know they've got a couple of different defense coordinators.
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: Last few years that scheme has it more or less
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: kind of been the same str I it's similar. There
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: are some differences, you know.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: Coach Wilkes has has put his spin on it a
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: little bit then then what Demico had and you know
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: obviously what Sola had in a couple of years back.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: I mean it's all it's all pretty much the same
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: structure you know of defense, but uh, there are, like
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I said, there are some some little differences and nuances
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: that that you know, each coordinator has.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: This is out of left field.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: Fits really, I know from you you've been on a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: couple of bad teams. Oh, thank you, just I think
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: just too.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Right Cleveland and maybe.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: Uh my first year in Philly, Philly.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So what's it like for a franchise players when
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the fan base and everybody around that turns the the
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: super Bowl becomes the draft, if that makes sense, Like
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: in November and December?
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: Do you notice it?
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I not so much inside the building, right, I think
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I think that's yeah. I think the media can drive that,
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: you know. I know the players don't think about that.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Coaches don't think about it. We're trying to just win
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: the next game, you know, and and do our best
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: on the field, you know. But but it it You
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: obviously hear it, right, You hear that noise right cause
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it eventually comes into your building. But you don't try
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: not to let that affect you, you know, and that's
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: what we're trying to turn around here.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Greg Junior coming up r next couple of days.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: We hope. So he's doing really well, practicing really well.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: Uh, I think he's got another few days in the
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: window and and just wanna make sure that he's a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: hundred percent.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: It is the hope of the bomb kind of like
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: them aong early in the year.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: Just add more and more in plays he sees the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: snaps kind of go up home.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's that's the plan with him. Keep increasing
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: his reps.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: How closet does he He's close.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: He's really close.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: I I think I think this week would be you know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: big obviously getting more more opportunities, you know, this week
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: to get more snaps.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he's getting real close. What does it say
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: that you guys six and two would you.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Really haven't had your entire complete line.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Up at any point this season with starters and key
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: reserves on both sides of the ball. It just means
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: the guys that are stepping up or stepping up and
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: then they're playing well. And that's what that's what makes
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: good teams, right, you know, in the absence of a
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: starter the backup guy has to come in and fill in,
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: and you know, just like Buster's done, you know, and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: he's done a great job, and you know, it's just
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: it's gonna take.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: It takes that.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: It takes a full fifty three man roster, you know,
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: as you pick your forty eight for that game, or
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: maybe even elevating a practice squad player. Uh, we've done
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Devon Campbell, We've done Jake P.
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: Harris. You know, we've done guys like that.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: You know, y y, you're gonna need everybody, you know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: but uh, it's a credit to those guys cause they
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: work hard in practice.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: They don't get a ton of reps usually in practice
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: during the week, but.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: You know, when their numbers called there they go out
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: and play and perform and and do a nice.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Job following up on that. You've only seen this line
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: combination for your line for eleven snaps, I.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Think offensive line a line.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, are you do you have an idea what they are?
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Not based on an eleven snaps, but you know, and
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: are you excited to see.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: What they You're talking eleven game.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Snaps, eleven game snaps against both.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: They've had how many practice snaps together? Hundreds? Right, So, uh,
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: that's what we go off of.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Obviously, now they have to go do it and perform
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: together in a loud environment, right against a good opponent.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: So it's you know, that's the obviously, that's the bottom line, right,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it is game reps. But they've got plenty of work
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: in practice during the last couple of weeks.
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: There's along that weekend, so a bunch of guys you're back.
