Press Pass | Josh Hines-Allen & Trevor Lawrence Recap Jaguars' Win Over Browns in Week 1 · Press Pass

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What kind of chaos and disruption do you think you
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: and Trayvon brought throughout today's game against Cleveland?
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Just guys flying around trying to try to make plays,
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: you know, for the defense. And, you know, Trey started off,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, just effort sacks. I think a lot of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: these are just effort sacks, just being relentless in a rush.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: We may not win on the first rush, but if
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: we can track it down and, you know, just give
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: everything we can. And I think that's kind of how
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: our game plan was today. But I think there's a
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: lot to improve from today. Can't wait to watch the
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: tape and improve and get back next week. Got Denver,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: big challenge for us, and we're looking forward to that matchup, though.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Got the turnover pretty quickly in the game. Obviously, that's
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: how you guys kind of got rolling a little bit
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: last year, too. It was good to see that happen
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: that quickly.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was actually kind of crazy because in the
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: coin toss, when they wanted to receive it, I was like, oh, okay.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And so then we got that interception. For me, it
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: was like, That was the statement right there. This is
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: when the game is going to turn that fast. And
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: we kind of continued to do that. Offense came down
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and scored, and then it was just like, let's hold them.
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: I wanted to hold them to zero all game. Kept
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: them under 100 rushing yards. I know they had that
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: one explosive the last play of the game, but we
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: stopped the run, eliminated the explosive, created turnovers. That's our
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: recipe for success, and we accomplished it. We accomplished 89%
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: of it, so I'm happy with that.
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Josh, the biggest free agent loss for your side of
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: the ball and maybe for the team as a whole
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: was Devin Lloyd. People are asking, even up to kickoff today,
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: what are you guys going to do to replace him?
• 1:42
  Speaker 4: Your man Ventrell stuffed the whole stat sheet today. Talk
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: about his performance from your perspective and how proud you
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: are of him making the plays that he did today.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, man, we trust Ventrell. Day one, I think it
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: was definitely– a grind for him knowing the expectations that
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: was set on him. But for him just to play
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: his game, get comfortable in the system, communicate, run fast,
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: be physical, which he already is. And once he started
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: to understand the scheme of everything and lining up and
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: just knowing where the ball was going to be, we
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: knew what type of play we were going to get
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: from him. And just to see him make physical tackles
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: after tackle after tackle, being coverage, making plays on the ball.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: That's what he does. And again, man, I'm still going
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: to say, man, he's going to lead the league in
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: punch outs, I think. Well, I know he's going to
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: lead the league in punch outs. Let me be more
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: affirmative on that. But the effort that he played with today,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we can expect that every week from him. And he
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: expects it every week for himself, which is great to
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: be a part of.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: Josh, it's one thing to see it on the practice field.
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: It's one thing to see it in a meeting. But
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: to see what you guys were able to do on
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: the field, just how good did that feel today?
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: Again, it was a great opportunity, great challenge for us.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: You know, we had everything against us, you know, less
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: crowded space. And, you know, it was super hot, obviously.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: You know, we had all the external noises that we
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: can also be challenged from. As a defense, as an offense,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: who are we going to be? You know, we never
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: were the same team after a great year. And so,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: you know, always battling that expectations and then going out
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: there and just playing our brand of football, playing a
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: brand of football that each individual player knows they can
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: play at. That's us. And we just want to continue
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: to play at a high level, continue to be where
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: we're supposed to be, offense, defense, and special teams. Again,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: I think there's still areas to improve, but I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: it was a great first step for what we're trying
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: to get to.
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: To piggyback on that, how much different does this year
• 3:48
  Speaker 6: feel with Liam kind of knowing what to expect from everybody?
• 3:52
  Speaker 6: And how much better can this team be overall?
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I think it's just a carrier for what I just said.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: I think we just got to keep executing, keep playing fast.
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: We know what type of players we have in our
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: locker room. And we have ballers at all and every
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: level of this offense and defense. So I think if
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: we could just continue to stay healthy and just execute
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: what's needed to be, what's executed, what's being called, I
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: think we have a really great, talented room. And we
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: just got to keep doing that.
• 4:27
  Speaker 6: Josh, you said you guys had a lot of external noise,
• 4:30
  Speaker 6: made a statement today. What do you feel like you
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: as a defensive unit proved today?
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: That we can continue to still be one of the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: best units in the National Football League There was areas
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: where I feel like we can improve and improve from
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: last year. We still want to be the number one
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: rush defense. We still want to create takeaways. And also
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: we want to do a better job on getting to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the quarterback and getting them down. And I don't know
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: how many sacks we had today, but I think it
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: was a good start from where we need to get to.
• 5:03
  Speaker 7: Five sacks today. And throughout your career, the offense– has
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: struggled three and outs consistently. What's it like to be
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: on the sideline and see them score as soon as
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: they get the ball twice going out playing complimentary football?
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: I think that, I think we just have a lot
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: of trust within each other. I don't think we ever,
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know, these, especially these last couple of years, it
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: was never like we got to defense be ready. I
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: feel like when we get to the sideline, I feel
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: like we're going to have time to kind of you know,
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: catch our breath, communicate what needs to be fixed because
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: we do have that trust in the offense. It's going
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: to be out there and going to do the long drive,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: 13 play drives, going to get us points. So that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: the expectations that we have for our offense. And even
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: if they don't, they do get a three and out,
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: then they have trust in the defense is going to
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: get the ball right back for them. So that's the
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: complementary football that we're going to continue to play and
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: expectations that we have for each other.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Trevor, four touchdown passes to four different targets. How pleased
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: were you with how you were able to spread the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: ball around today?
• 6:08
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think it was awesome. Guys ready to play.
• 6:11
  Speaker 9: A bunch of different guys getting open and winning. And
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: then up front, able to just progress and get through
• 6:16
  Speaker 9: my progressions and get the right guy the ball. So
• 6:18
  Speaker 9: those guys did a really good job up front protecting.
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: And it was just a clean day. I thought we
• 6:22
  Speaker 9: operated pretty smoothly besides a couple plays. So definitely a
• 6:26
  Speaker 9: lot to build on and good start for us as
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: an offense.
• 6:29
  Speaker 10: Trevor, you've seen all of Parker's touchdowns. Where is that
• 6:32
  Speaker 10: first one ranked today in terms of difficulty?
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: It's pretty good. I just saw a video of it.
• 6:36
  Speaker 8: I didn't see it.
• 6:37
  Speaker 9: I got hit right when I threw it, so I
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: never saw him catch it. It's a pretty sweet catch.
• 6:42
  Speaker 8: That's up there.
• 6:43
  Speaker 10: A lot of chatter externally about his future. How well
• 6:47
  Speaker 10: has he separated the business and the football since training
• 6:50
  Speaker 10: camp started?
• 6:53
  Speaker 9: You would not even know that's going on, just the
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: way he carries himself. He's been the same guy. just
• 6:58
  Speaker 9: comes to work every day, does everything the right way. So, yeah,
• 7:01
  Speaker 9: I mean, you wouldn't even know that's going on in
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: the background. So really just impressed with how he's handled that,
• 7:07
  Speaker 9: but not surprised. And just, you know, he's a worker
• 7:11
  Speaker 9: and he's a stud.
• 7:12
  Speaker 8: Had a great day today.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Liam talked earlier about making sure you started fast, and
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: that sort of goes back to some of the preparations
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: you guys made during the week and how comfortable you
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: felt with everything on Friday. Can you just kind of
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: take us through that and how that kind of helped today?
• 7:26
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I thought we had a great week of practice.
• 7:29
  Speaker 9: You know, we really kind of pushed ourselves physically just
• 7:31
  Speaker 9: to be ready for, you know, it's hot today, the heat,
• 7:34
  Speaker 9: and I'm sure Cleveland coming down, that is a factor, obviously,
• 7:37
  Speaker 9: in the game, and we're able to practice in that
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: every day. So we really pushed during the week, but
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: also just had clean practices. Not everything's perfect, but really clean, detailed,
• 7:46
  Speaker 9: felt like there was a really good understanding of the
• 7:48
  Speaker 9: plan from everyone on offense, especially by the end of
• 7:52
  Speaker 9: the week, and then just our process, too, now having
• 7:54
  Speaker 9: another having one year under my belt game planning with,
• 7:58
  Speaker 9: you know, Liam and Grant and that process and how
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: we talked towards the end of the week and really
• 8:02
  Speaker 9: dialing the plan. I felt like it was buttoned up
• 8:04
  Speaker 9: pretty good by the time we walked in to the
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: building Saturday and then got to touch up some stuff.
• 8:09
  Speaker 8: So, um, yeah, I felt really, really good about it.
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: Was it a priority for you to make sure you
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: personally started fast?
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: I think it's always, yeah, it's always the goal is to,
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: you know, you want to start the game fast and, um,
• 8:23
  Speaker 9: play well in that first possession so you can settle
• 8:25
  Speaker 9: in as soon as possible and not give the ball
• 8:27
  Speaker 9: back to the other team. So I think that's always
• 8:29
  Speaker 9: something you want to do. But I think it comes
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: down to preparation. Also, every game's different. You don't know
• 8:36
  Speaker 9: exactly what the defense is going to do the first series.
• 8:40
  Speaker 8: So there's a lot of moving parts.
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: But I think for us to be able to start
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: fast today like we did, that is the goal moving forward, obviously.
• 8:45
  Speaker 8: And we're going to continue to build on that.
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: Trevor, you kind of half answered what I was about
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: to ask. Second year in the system, sixth year as
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: a pro now. Four TDs to four different receivers, like
• 8:55
  Speaker 4: Hayes said, indicates a level of comfortability in not just
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: the execution, I think, of the game plan, but also
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: as far as what your input is into the scheme
• 9:03
  Speaker 4: and the things that you like and what you want
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: to do. Can you talk a little bit more about
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: that and how that's evolved over the last 15 months
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: or so?
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think just the understanding of what
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: we're doing and when certain plays go in and I
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: know what I'm looking for and what we're trying to
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: get done and if I don't, being able to communicate
• 9:19
  Speaker 9: and ask the right questions or as the week goes
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: on if I'm not feeling great about something it's like
• 9:25
  Speaker 9: hey well let's go through this one more time or
• 9:27
  Speaker 9: maybe it's I don't really like that that much can
• 9:28
  Speaker 9: we adjust and is there something else we can do
• 9:31
  Speaker 9: there and there's a great relationship and working I guess
• 9:35
  Speaker 9: dynamic between all of us and in that regard and
• 9:39
  Speaker 9: you know our coaches are really good too so it's
• 9:41
  Speaker 9: not like there's a ton of stuff where I'm like
• 9:43
  Speaker 9: I don't like that you know there's things that pop
• 9:45
  Speaker 9: up every once in a while if I don't feel
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: comfortable but I think it's just about the communication and
• 9:49
  Speaker 9: also as you play more and have more experience, you know,
• 9:52
  Speaker 9: you've seen all these installs before.
• 9:53
  Speaker 8: You've seen these plays come in.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: Nice.
• 9:58
  Speaker 8: And so, yeah.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: I mean, you just, you know what you're looking for
• 10:01
  Speaker 9: a little bit and then you play these similar types
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: of defenses. So I also know what I've experienced in
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: the past and I'm like, Hey, this worked good against somewhere.
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: I've done this before and I didn't love that. So
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: that's part of it too.
• 10:12
  Speaker 5: Trev, you, the Jacoby touchdown, could you kind of talk
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: us through that? And he said that as a, pass
• 10:19
  Speaker 5: catcher he kind of has to stay in shape when
• 10:21
  Speaker 5: you're breaking because he has an opportunity to break just
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: that chemistry could you kind of talk about that chemistry.
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: That's something we always talk about in the offseason especially
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: that second play you know when the scramble starts and
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: the best teams added are the guys that can react
• 10:37
  Speaker 9: you know as fast as possible and continue to work
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: and get open while the play gets extended and our
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: guys have done a good job of that it's hard
• 10:44
  Speaker 9: sometimes it's hard to practice in the offseason because a
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: lot of things are on time you don't scramble as
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: much because The quarterback's not live in practice, so you'll
• 10:50
  Speaker 9: sit in there and have a couple extra hitches and
• 10:52
  Speaker 9: get the ball out. But in games, it really comes
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: to life, and that's such a big part of, especially
• 10:58
  Speaker 9: that wasn't in the red zone, but in the red
• 10:59
  Speaker 9: zone that comes up a lot because defenses are good.
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: It's not a lot of field to work with.
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: Scrambles are, I think we talk about, leads the league
• 11:07
  Speaker 9: in touchdowns every year, scramble plays.
• 11:08
  Speaker 8: So, you know, that's a.
• 11:10
  Speaker 9: Big part of our offense and something that I think
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: that those guys enjoy and are good at and obviously
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: that I'm able to do and just continue to build
• 11:18
  Speaker 9: on it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 11: Trevor, you mentioned you guys got a lot of the
• 11:20
  Speaker 11: work done that you hoped to accomplish today. Much of
• 11:23
  Speaker 11: the game plan did work. What were some areas, maybe
• 11:25
  Speaker 11: some packages, where you said, okay, that's something we have
• 11:27
  Speaker 11: to improve upon? One I know, 13 personnel I know
• 11:30
  Speaker 11: a couple of times maybe didn't go exactly the way
• 11:32
  Speaker 11: you guys were hoping for.
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I think we had a couple short yardage plays
• 11:36
  Speaker 9: that we didn't convert on. We didn't have a ton
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: of third downs where we were behind the change, which
• 11:44
  Speaker 9: was nice. It was a lot of third and shorts.
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: But I think some of those short yardage plays runs
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: we'll have to just look at and see what we
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: could do better as far as you know we weren't
• 11:52
  Speaker 9: able to convert on a few of them so that's
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: just off the top of my head I mean and
• 11:55
  Speaker 9: then I think a couple times in two or three
• 11:59
  Speaker 9: series we had a few just wonky plays that were
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: you know like the snap and then I had the
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: one where I went past the line of scrimmage just
• 12:06
  Speaker 9: stuff that can't happen you got to clean up so
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: we were able to get out of the kind of
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: get out of that hole by making a great play
• 12:12
  Speaker 9: that the play after but it's not always going to
• 12:14
  Speaker 9: be that easy so we just got to you know
• 12:17
  Speaker 9: find ways to eliminate the negatives and not rely on
• 12:20
  Speaker 9: having to make a second and 20 hero play to
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: get out of it and just stay on track.
• 12:25
  Speaker 12: Trevor, you hit on it a little bit, but how
• 12:27
  Speaker 12: much further ahead do you feel in year two with
• 12:29
  Speaker 12: Liam at this point in the season compared to last
• 12:31
  Speaker 12: year during the opener?
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I feel really comfortable, really confident in what we're doing.
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: I think last year at this time, I knew what
• 12:39
  Speaker 9: we were doing, but it was still, you know, you're
• 12:41
  Speaker 9: still getting used to the game plan and the moving
• 12:43
  Speaker 9: parts of the offense, which was a lot.
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: Which was a big change for me.
• 12:46
  Speaker 9: So I think there was that dynamic of still trying
• 12:48
  Speaker 9: to get completely comfortable in it. Um, so I think
• 12:52
  Speaker 9: all that stuff, I feel, feel really good. And like
• 12:54
  Speaker 9: I said, we got to have short memory and, you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 9: enjoy it tonight. It was awesome to get a win
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: a week one, but just excited now to, we got
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: a big challenge next week and we got to turn
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: the page and go put together another great game plan.
• 13:06
  Speaker 12: Also a matchup of national champion Clemson quarterbacks, any extra
• 13:10
  Speaker 12: chatter this week leading into this one?
• 13:12
  Speaker 8: Yeah, not really.
• 13:14
  Speaker 9: Um, I got a chance to see him real quick
• 13:16
  Speaker 9: after the game. Obviously, the storm was rolling in and
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: wish him good luck. But no, not too much there.
• 13:22
  Speaker 9: So we didn't talk.
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: Before the game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 6: 100th career touchdown pass to Josh Cameron. That was his
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: first touchdown reception. Who's getting that football?
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah, Josh has it.
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: I didn't even realize because someone said it in the
• 13:35
  Speaker 9: locker room, 100 touchdown.
• 13:36
  Speaker 8: I'm like, oh, where's that ball at? And they're like, oh,
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: it was Josh's first one. So he can keep it.
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: He can keep it. I guess I got to go
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: get 200 now. I'll keep that one.
• 13:44
  Speaker 6: Awesome.
• 13:45
  Speaker 7: Cole, Cole Van Linden does play and, you know, Ezra
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: and Anton switch sides and the rookie at left guard.
• 13:52
  Speaker 7: So no preseason, your first time out for new offensive lineman,
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: just your thoughts.
• 13:57
  Speaker 9: And you look at that front is the front's good.
• 13:59
  Speaker 9: Cleveland's Cleveland's front. And I think that those guys really protected. Well,
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: we ran the ball pretty well for the most part too.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: You know, I thought they did an awesome job. And
• 14:07
  Speaker 9: like you said, to not have the live reps altogether
• 14:10
  Speaker 9: as a unit, especially me back there behind those guys.
• 14:13
  Speaker 9: I mean, that's, It's a good feeling when you come
• 14:16
  Speaker 9: out week one and play like that. So, you know,
• 14:17
  Speaker 9: that's the challenge is to do that every week. And,
• 14:19
  Speaker 9: you know, these guys have been– they work really well together.
• 14:22
  Speaker 9: Rob is kind of the glue guy in there, getting
• 14:25
  Speaker 9: them right. And I think it's helped E-Man. And he's
• 14:27
  Speaker 9: done an awesome job as a rookie stepping up and
• 14:29
  Speaker 9: just really smart and physical and been a great player.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: And all the other guys have played great too. Excited
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: to have Cole back.
• 14:35
  Speaker 9: I mean, obviously it's a big turnaround from the injury
• 14:40
  Speaker 9: coming off last year. And for him to play like
• 14:42
  Speaker 9: he did today was awesome. So just excited to build
• 14:44
  Speaker 9: on that too.
• 14:45
  Speaker 8: Thanks, guys.
