Press Pass | Jaguars Coordinators on Prep for Week 11 vs. Chargers · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: To the level that defense was playing early in the season.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there's definitely a way to do that, you know,
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: but it's collective.
• 0:07
  Speaker 3: It's myself, you know, obviously putting guys in best situation
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: and execution.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, there's absolutely a way to do that.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: Get I think some of the things that that we're
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: doing is always you know, there's all game plans are different,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: but we gotta find a way to get better there.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: And I always put that on myself, you know what
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're coordinating the unit. We got to be
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: better there. That's the way I look at it. So
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: we gotta have a good plan to do that this
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: week because the guy we're playing is elusive in the pocket.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Uh has done a great job with his feet his
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: whole career and certainly this year. So we got to
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: be locked in, be disciplined in the rush and trying
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: to affect him here on Sunday.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: Is obviously been inside outside for you guys.
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: Just what did sure you guys in Sunday particular, they
• 0:52
  Speaker 5: give you guys have much conference?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think Jarian came up with a huge player
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: earlier and to me, that was a really detailed rep
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: within what we were asking him to do uh on the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: snap and just a majority of the game. I felt
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: like he did a really good job for us. I
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: thought he had a good summer for us, you know.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I think he's grown a lot. Like you said, we
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: played him inside outside, so he does multiple things for us,
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: and I think he's done a good job since he's
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: been in there so far.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: What's type of guy is Craig won Walker in a
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: off the field like a great dude.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: He's the team first guy, works his heads off every day,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: but like a great human being, you know what I mean.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: He's a hard guy not to love, and he's got
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: such a team first mentality.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: He's played through injury, as.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: You guys know, and he's done a great job you know,
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: for us, top to bottom. And I know he was
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: in on a few the other day, so I think
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: that's coming for him.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: And he's a great dude.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: I think he probably impacts him more than he would
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: tell you know, here and there, but I think he's
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: done a good job with it. I've seen a couple
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: other guys deal with a similar injury, and I think
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Trey's done as good a job as anybody I've been
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: around with that type of injury. It's just hard when
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: you're playing d line. But I think he's you know,
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: going out there giving us a great effort, one hundred
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: percent effort and making some plays for us, uh through
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: the injury.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Tough kid. Uh.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: You know, he's on tilt one hundred percent of the time,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: so uh, he's running around all the time.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: He's a tough, physical kid. Uh.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: I think he comes from from that. You know, it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: got a family full of wrestlers there, so he's uh,
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: he's he's no stranger to uh, hard work, and he's
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: done a really good job for us. So I'm happy
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: for him. You know, he does a good job first
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: when he's out there.
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: From your perspective, what's been the struggle within the fourth
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: quarter specifically? You guys are generally very good first three
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: quarters and most of the games.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: What's been the issue in that court of specifically?
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's something we've looked at. I've looked at personally.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: You know, what we're doing in those situations and what
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: we're calling you know what I mean, just making sure
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: that we're in the best possible situation.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: That's something that we got to be better there.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: Obviously, you know, state and the obvious, you know, So
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: we got to be in we got to be in
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: better situations, and we got to be able to finish
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: those games in the fourth quarter because we're right there.
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: Uh and obviously, you know, losing that one the other day,
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: nobody's happy about that, right, So we got to be
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: better in the fourth quarter for sure.
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: So Leave said the other day, you know, there are penalties,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: and he said, there there's the penalties like what Trey
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: aren't got hit with. And he said he wasn't going
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: to know about to thrust the guy down for for that.
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: But when it dependently like that occurs, when it just
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: looks like a guy made a play, how difficult is
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: it to coach guys to you know, kind of ran
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: in their instincts a little bit and tackle the quarterback
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: the way the refs think you should tackle the quarterback.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, this is just part of part of the game.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: You know, we're always trying to show them a strike
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: zone tape and all that stuff, and some things are
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: out of your control. You know, it's bang bang, and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: you just play the situation as it plays out, you know,
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: defensively as coaches and players. But we try through the
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: best job we can just getting them in position, you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: where you're going to make a legal hit, make legal
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: contact on somebody, which you know, I like I said,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: it's bang bang, you know, not easy to do. But yeah,
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: we're always trying to coach it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: Defense just thrivessane in the emotion and the bang bang situation.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: That's what defense is all about.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: But is it getting increasingly difficult to coach guys to
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: figure out where that line is.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: I think you're just trying to coach within the rules
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: of it, honestly, you know what I mean. You really
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: got to coach keep your head out of it, staying
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: in the strike zone, you know what I mean, for
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: the health of the players and everything. So it's it's
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: just all part of coaching it, honestly. Every day we
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: got to make sure that we're hitting at and like
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: I said, trying to show tapes of that stuff every
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: week too.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Said, you're gonna seem more like quick getting fast person second,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and maybe anybody else in the league. There is there
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: something you look at and see what why teams are
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: attacking that way.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Big part of it is we've done a pretty good
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: job in a run game, so you see a little
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: bit more first down pass when that's the case.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Been through that before, but yeah, I think it's probably
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: something to do with that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: And then you know, obviously coverages getting called in that situation,
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: so you're always looking at that self, scouting that and
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: evaluating that for sure.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: That's part of it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Last couple of years. How you balance ay Matt still
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: being aggressive getting.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: After Yeah, you gotta have a great rush plan against
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: guys like that.
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: It's similar to like when you're playing against Pat Mahomes,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: guys like that who are really elusive in the pocket.
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: You have to have a good rush.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: Plan and not be behind the quarterback and giving them
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: the gap step ups, that whole deal, and you got
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to do a good job in the interior as well.
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: That's not just the edge and really trying to make
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: sure that everybody is square in front of the QB
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: and you're running stuff that gets guys an opportunity to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: pressure the passer and all the while keeping him in
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: the pocket.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: Like that's you got to be on point.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: With a guy like this because he is, as you said,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: he is legit and he's done a great job with
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: his feet.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's the whole.
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: Here's how much of a challenge or is it a
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: challenge at all? I should say with you having you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: you're getting acclivated to Greg Newsome, you now have Jariane Jones,
• 6:19
  Speaker 6: and then out of the lineup between you know, Jordan's injury,
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: and just trying to figure out the guys that you
• 6:24
  Speaker 6: have and what they're comfortable within.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: The game plan.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I think our guys have done a really good job
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: with like you said, just different guys going in like
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: in terms of trying to execute everything we're asking him
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: to do.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: But when you're in.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Those situations, you got to keep it moving, mixing coverages
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and stuff like that. But they've done a good job
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: learning and we have some, like you said, some different
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: guys in there. I love the guys we got, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: to me, I'll ride with these guys. I'm excited to
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: get going on Sunday. There's only one way to fix things,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: and that's work your ass off.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: That's what I know. There ain't any other way to
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: go about it.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: There's no other answer, and they've been doing that and
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: our coaches have been doing that, and that's what's the
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: most important thing is that we come in here and
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: grind every day, find a way to get better and
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: work to get a w on Sunday when.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: The pass rush doesn't get it home. For what's the
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: challenge for you as a coordinator to sort of have
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: that balance to where you're you're trying to get home
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: manufactured some things you're also wanting to keep the coverage.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like we we've done some different things over the
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: course of the season, and then like even in the
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: game the other day, some different stuff you know that
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: resulted in some good stuff for us as well, and
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: going through that in my career, just you know, different
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: stops and stuff. You always pick up things that you
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: feel like can can help that way. But it's also
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: it's rushing covers together, right, So it's not giving them
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: access on throw so the wall can come out quick
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: enough so the format can get there. It's mixing it up,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: uh from from my perspective, you know what I mean,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: changing the picture for the quarterback and the opposing coordinator
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: so that they don't have access to get the ball
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: out as quick right too.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: So that's part of it.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, it's definitely a myriad of things, and that's
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: always the challenge I think every Sunday.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: But we got to do a great job at that
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: this week. I know that you know, appreciate you guys.
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: All right, Yeah, he's a slowly taken over.
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: At how talked about just just what have your conversations
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: with Trevor been like in terms of that and just
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: how much does he need to just go ahead and
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: just let it lose.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: Our conversation has been very similar. I think Liam and
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: I and Trevor were all aligned in that he has
• 8:43
  Speaker 7: all the ability in the world. He knows the system,
• 8:45
  Speaker 7: He's got a lot of reps out it. He'll continue
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: to improve as we get better. But we want to
• 8:49
  Speaker 7: let him go out there and play fast, play free.
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: And there are opportunities out there that we need to
• 8:54
  Speaker 7: do a better job of probably creating those out or
• 8:57
  Speaker 7: giving him the mindset and the confidence and the understanding
• 8:59
  Speaker 7: that he can play fast and play free in those opportunities.
• 9:02
  Speaker 7: So look forward to the opportunity for him to do
• 9:04
  Speaker 7: that this weekend. But absolutely have all the confidence in
• 9:07
  Speaker 7: the world in him, so hope he feels the same
• 9:09
  Speaker 7: to go out there and play fast and free.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: Just like Coach said, what was to say.
• 9:12
  Speaker 7: About Jacobe and if he was able to contribute the
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: way he did just being.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: In front of this.
• 9:17
  Speaker 7: It's a testament to his work, his intelligence to be
• 9:19
  Speaker 7: able to go out there and even line up. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: don't think I'd be able to break the huddle if
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: I tried to show up in a week and then
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: go out there and play in a game. Really really
• 9:26
  Speaker 7: impressive for him to do that, to go out there
• 9:28
  Speaker 7: and not only play, but to do it at a
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: high level, knew what he was doing, didn't have to
• 9:33
  Speaker 7: ask guys all the time.
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: You know, where am I lining up? What am I doing?
• 9:36
  Speaker 8: Where am I trying to go? Who am I blocking here?
• 9:38
  Speaker 7: So super impressive from a mental standpoint, and then the
• 9:40
  Speaker 7: physical standpoint too. I don't think people realize how tough
• 9:43
  Speaker 7: it is to hop on a plane all of a sudden,
• 9:46
  Speaker 7: You're moving in the middle of the night, and then.
• 9:48
  Speaker 8: You're doing a physical early in the morning.
• 9:50
  Speaker 7: You're getting everything together, people are trying to take all
• 9:52
  Speaker 7: your time, You're short on sleep, probably short on nutrition,
• 9:55
  Speaker 7: and then you got to go out there and play
• 9:56
  Speaker 7: in a totally foreign environment. So really impressive all around
• 10:00
  Speaker 7: offensive line.
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: How can you get more from those guys?
• 10:04
  Speaker 8: There's a lot of things that go into it.
• 10:07
  Speaker 7: I think as coaches we always want to start with
• 10:09
  Speaker 7: trying to evaluate how we can put them in better
• 10:11
  Speaker 7: positions for success, and whether that's the protections that we're in,
• 10:15
  Speaker 7: the run calls that were in, the formations were in,
• 10:18
  Speaker 7: or how many times they're doing different things. How can
• 10:20
  Speaker 7: we continue to find the things they do best and
• 10:23
  Speaker 7: continue to do those in new or different ways or
• 10:25
  Speaker 7: ways that are designed to attack that defense that specific week.
• 10:28
  Speaker 7: So we're always going to reflect on how we can
• 10:31
  Speaker 7: build things for the offense, for those guys specifically that
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: put them in better situations. I think they've played at
• 10:37
  Speaker 7: a high level before and we've seen it, and they
• 10:39
  Speaker 7: played at high levels in times of those games, just
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: like all the positions, I think every position during that
• 10:43
  Speaker 7: game had points of the game where they wanted to
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: improve or wish they had performed better, and had points
• 10:47
  Speaker 7: of the games that they wish they could have back
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: and do over again.
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: And the old line is no different.
• 10:52
  Speaker 7: I have confidence that that group of guys will rally together,
• 10:55
  Speaker 7: continue to play together, and continue to build upon the
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: things that we've worked on all through the offseason, all
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: through training camp, and continue to protect and run block
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: like they've done earlier in the year, like they did
• 11:04
  Speaker 7: at times during that game.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: Much of it is that they've just run into some
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: really good defense in front side contexts front, or that
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: they're just struggling.
• 11:13
  Speaker 8: It's a mix of everything.
• 11:14
  Speaker 7: I wish I could sit here and say it's this
• 11:16
  Speaker 7: one thing, and if we just fix this one thing,
• 11:18
  Speaker 7: this one pass set, or our cadence, or we stopped
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: doing this protection, that would solve all of our problems. Unfortunately,
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: that's not the reality. There's so much that goes into it.
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: Whether it's like I said, the calls that work, you know,
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: the game plan and the scheme we're putting together for them,
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: certain routes, the timing, are they coming open on the
• 11:34
  Speaker 7: right time? Are we getting the ball out on the
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: right time, Are we hitting the right spots in the
• 11:37
  Speaker 7: run game? Is it a different front it's I mean,
• 11:39
  Speaker 7: we've played some great defenses, Like you said, we embrace
• 11:42
  Speaker 7: that challenge. We enjoy the opportunity to go against some
• 11:44
  Speaker 7: of those top defense really some of the best fronts
• 11:46
  Speaker 7: in the league we've had the opportunity to go against.
• 11:48
  Speaker 8: So it's a great test for those guys.
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: But it's something we got to embrace, not necessarily use
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: as an excuse, not to say that we're saying that
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: you were saying that it'd be an excuse, but certainly
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: something we would embrace, but reize, Hey, we're playing the
• 12:01
  Speaker 7: best of the best. We embrace that challenge and will
• 12:03
  Speaker 7: continue to go attack whoever they put across from us.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: The Chargers defense, just just in terms of what they
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: bring to the table, how much of a challenge is that.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: It's a lot and a couple different ways.
• 12:14
  Speaker 7: They do a great job with their scheme, very very
• 12:17
  Speaker 7: tied together with the rushing coverage coordinated super well. You
• 12:20
  Speaker 7: can tell those guys when they're on the same page.
• 12:22
  Speaker 7: They're playing at a really high level, and you've probably
• 12:24
  Speaker 7: seen over the last couple of weeks them continue to ascend,
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: which makes it a great challenge for us. They've gotten
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: guys back healthy, and the guys are really playing at
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: a high level in that scheme within their roles. They've
• 12:35
  Speaker 7: got guys at the first level, really good rushers outside
• 12:37
  Speaker 7: and inside, really linebackers playing at high level, and then
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: the defensive backs. They've had some turnover there, but the
• 12:42
  Speaker 7: guys they've got in there now are playing at a
• 12:43
  Speaker 7: really high level and coordinated really well.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: In the back end.
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: They provide some different looks that really the defenses we've
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: played earlier and they're having shown from a coverage standpoint,
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: the way they play certain coverages and the way they
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: even play certain fronts and run fits. That'll be different
• 12:57
  Speaker 7: for us to go against that, but it's a great
• 12:59
  Speaker 7: challenge and opportunity for the guys. Then third down, you're
• 13:02
  Speaker 7: kind of gonna say the same thing, different pressures, different
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: blitz packages. So it's a unique defense to go against
• 13:08
  Speaker 7: for the guys, and they do a really great job
• 13:10
  Speaker 7: of executing it.
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: You can get Strange back this week.
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: How much does it open things up Strange offense, and
• 13:17
  Speaker 9: you see probably unfortunately it took his absence a little
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: bit to really see how much he impacts opening things up,
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: not just in the past game.
• 13:26
  Speaker 7: He's a great target for Trevor, and I think they
• 13:28
  Speaker 7: seem to have a connection. When things break down, Trevor
• 13:31
  Speaker 7: seems to find him. He's an explosive athlete, so even
• 13:33
  Speaker 7: when he's looking to him first in the progression, you
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: get match up issues with Breton Strange matched up on
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: linebackers or even safeties at times because he can run
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: away from guys. He's big, he's strong, he's physical. I
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: mean he wins running outess on corners sometimes, which is
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: super impressive. But in the run game, it's a huge
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: deal all the different things he can do. So when
• 13:50
  Speaker 7: you say opening up, he quite literally can open up
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: defenses sometimes like coming across, splitting defenses, inserting and gaps,
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: pulling around, and then at the point of attack he
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: can block defensive ends, bigger guys at times. So it
• 14:02
  Speaker 7: really creates a lot of opportunities. When he's taken a
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: defensive end, now you got another offensive lineman on a linebacker,
• 14:08
  Speaker 7: So it creates mismatches for us. You know, having him
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: is a huge part of our offense.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: Towinson has the turnover at wide receiver been this year.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I mean Marker popping up on the injury report. You
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: already have given some reps to Austin Trambell got called up,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: called up Tim Jones, I mean he traded for Tim
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Patrick mill of the season. You trade for Jakobe Myers
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: middle of the season. How challenging is that, I guess
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that rotation that turned over.
• 14:30
  Speaker 7: Ben, Yeah, there's certainly a challenge to it. And would
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: love to have Travis back healthy too. And you know,
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: you lose him just right as he was starting to
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: really hit his stride there in the LA game in London.
• 14:42
  Speaker 7: But it's the challenge we all signed up for. I
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: think back to that moment at the end of the
• 14:47
  Speaker 7: game where Tim Jones is running across the field against
• 14:50
  Speaker 7: Vegas and it makes that big catch and it's a
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: route that he never really got the practice with Trevor.
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: He had never thrown and caught that route with Trevor,
• 14:57
  Speaker 7: and he goes out there. Trammell's in there winning on
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: that play. You know Tim Patrick is in there winning
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: on different routes where he hasn't got the opportunity to
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: run those routes. So those guys are facing really a
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: tremendous challenge to go out there and execute at the
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: highest level against the best of the best without having
• 15:12
  Speaker 7: the opportunity to practice to do some of those things. Now,
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: it's our job to try to limit the amount of
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: newness and try to make sure that what we put
• 15:19
  Speaker 7: on their plate is stuff that they can go out
• 15:21
  Speaker 7: and execute.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: But it's been a lot of fun to see them
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: embrace the challenge.
• 15:24
  Speaker 7: Something we're gonna have to continue to do as guys
• 15:27
  Speaker 7: go in and out of the lineup.
• 15:28
  Speaker 8: That's the nature of the beast. We knew going into
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: the year.
• 15:31
  Speaker 7: Very rarely do you make it throughout the year with
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: all eleven starters playing every single snap of every single
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: game for the whole year, so you know something that
• 15:38
  Speaker 7: was gonna come up. Unfortunately, it's probably been a little
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: more than anybody would like, but those guys have really
• 15:42
  Speaker 7: been doing a great job of not flinching when the
• 15:45
  Speaker 7: opportunity comes, just stepping up, doing what's asked to them
• 15:47
  Speaker 7: and trying to embrace it.
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: Chargers being seventh in the league in sex, like, how
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: do you balance that? You know, figuring out which size
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: is going to get help and knowing that they have
• 15:56
  Speaker 6: guys on multiple areas of that line they kind of have.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: You're a task to take away, like how.
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: Do you balance that?
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the tough challenge of it. And when you
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: play these great fronts like these guys. It was a
• 16:06
  Speaker 7: similar issue last week in Houston. There's only so many
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: guys you can help if you double team. Everybody got
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: nobody running a route, so you're certainly trading off every
• 16:15
  Speaker 7: time you try to find a solution. Every time you
• 16:17
  Speaker 7: say I'm gonna fix issue, you're causing a problem somewhere else.
• 16:21
  Speaker 8: So it's a delicate balance of choosing.
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: Those issues wisely and then trying to mix and match
• 16:27
  Speaker 7: helping a little bit here, a little bit there throughout
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: the game so they can't get a beat on we're
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: always helping this way, or we're always protecting this way.
• 16:34
  Speaker 7: We're always protecting a certain way, or always trying to
• 16:36
  Speaker 7: set up formations and protections in a certain way. So
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: you got to mix and match to keep them on
• 16:40
  Speaker 7: their toes, but also mix and match to balance out
• 16:42
  Speaker 7: to help as it's spread around, so that way guys
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: have plays where they know I've got help on this down. Unfortunately,
• 16:48
  Speaker 7: there's gonna be a flip side of that for those
• 16:49
  Speaker 7: guys where there's gonna be a couple players you say,
• 16:51
  Speaker 7: all right, you're one on one.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: We need you here to come through in this moment.
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: And that's the nature of the beast, and that's when
• 16:55
  Speaker 7: those guys are really called to step up for the
• 16:58
  Speaker 7: team and for the other ten guys on the field.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: Ask the guys thank you, guys, appreciate it.
