Press Pass | Liam Coen on Elevating the Standard, Building Consistency Each Week · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

  Speaker 1: Hey, Liam, got a couple for you.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: First one, Albert Regis got injured in practice on Friday.
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Is that correct? What is his timetable? He should be,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: I would think, ready to go this week. I would
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: think we'll have to look at what it looks like
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: in practice this week. You know, I got to see
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: what it looks like on Wednesday. It wasn't something that
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: should be out, you know, more than this past game.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: We were kind of being smart with him this week.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: He probably could have gone. So I'll get a better
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: idea Wednesday what he looks like at practice.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: Then second for me, through three games, how do you
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: feel Trevor Lawrence is seeing the field in terms of
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: letting it rip when it's there and then taking the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: short profit when it's not there?
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I thought he did a nice job. I think
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: he has been doing a nice job, honestly, of doing that.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I thought he took some checkdowns. Yesterday, especially the one
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: to Strange down the sideline, and then looking at progressing
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: through his reads when the pocket allows, the touchdown to
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: Jacoby is a perfect example of third and goal to go.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: The read started with Parker and Strange, and he got
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: back to Jacoby, who ran a heck of a route
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: on the safety. He had the pocket allowed. He went one, two,
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: got back to three and delivers a strike. And so
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I actually, I thought Trevor played really well yesterday, to
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: be honest. You know, we didn't get the ball down
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the field as much as we had been. And that
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: was something that we knew how they played. Like they played,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I mean, hardly any man coverage at all. And they
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: played a decent bit of cover one prior to that.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: So We didn't really have a lot of the ops
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field. I thought he
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: did a nice job of taking the profits, being able
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: to control it. And then the zero blitz throw that
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: he makes on third and 11 to Jacoby was incredible.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even know how he gets it out, to
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: be honest. The check down to two in off play
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: action where, you know, he's getting tackled and he checks
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it down. I mean, I just thought he did a
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: really nice job. He had very good command of the
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: system this week in the, in the preparation was there. Um,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I honestly, the interception was a kind of a crappy
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: play call slash force. Just don't throw it kind of thing,
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: but I didn't think he had as many turnover worthy
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: plays this week that maybe showed up a little bit
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: in Denver with some of the missed stops that they had. Um,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: I was pleased with him this week. Big Liam. Yep.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: We'll go to Jamal and Justin.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: Hey, Liam.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Last week you talked a lot about the team's need
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: to respond. and that kind of was your message. Now
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: that the team responded, how do you keep that same energy,
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: that intensity throughout practice that kind of moved throughout the rest.
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Of the season?
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: That's the NFL, right? That's the challenge in the National
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Football League that exists is, you know, pretty clear message
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: in terms of, like, all right, guys, how we practiced
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: going into Denver and how we played versus how we
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: practiced going into New England and how we played. Like,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: it's right there. It's so clear and obvious. You heard
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: a lot of the players speak to it after the game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And so, yeah, that is the challenge of the National
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Football League. That is what we signed up for. That
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: is the challenge. And we really need to continue to
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: lean on our leadership and the coaches to keep driving
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: the message and elevating the standard so that we know
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: how we have to play, guys. It's pretty clear and
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: obvious how We have to prepare, which leads us to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: go play freely and fast and physical the way we
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: were able to do so on Sunday. So that is
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: always the challenge in this league, right, is getting back
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to doing it, especially like you mentioned, you have a
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: bad taste in your mouth. You want to get that out.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You've got a quick op. The op's coming. You know
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: it's coming on Sunday. So you're going to get it.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Now it's, oh, you've got a good taste. okay, how
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: do we simulate, replicate, but also elevate the standard so
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: that we keep building week in and week out? And
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: that's where, obviously, leadership, the players, we all have to
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: be extremely accountable in understanding what it truly takes to
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: go win games on Sundays. You talked a little bit.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: About it last week, how the early part of the
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: season is a team kind of trying to figure itself out,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: find its personality. Do you think you're kind of starting
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: to be able to put your finger on what this
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: year's Jaguars team is?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think in some ways you know
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: maybe what gives us the best op to win the
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: game on Sundays. I think it's kind of been a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: consistent throughout. My time here has been like, all right, guys,
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: when we play violent and physical and we play together
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: and we anticipate things, What's going on? Good things are
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: going to happen when we play a little bit worried
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: about their good player or whatever it is. It is
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: so much more about us, our execution, our style of play,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: our level of energy and enthusiasm throughout the week in practice.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: And so there's, yeah, a formula that it was so
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: well delivered from the football gods this week that can
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: show us man, what it truly takes. And so, yeah,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: you figure out when you get tested, I think, early
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: as we have. I mean, you look at, you know,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: going on the road last week in a team that just,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: you know, lost to the Super Bowl favorite. And, you know,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: everybody said, you know, Cleveland Browns stink. And I don't know.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: I think, what are they, 2-1 now? Two playoff, you know,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: teams the last few years. So, I don't know. Any
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: given Sunday, right? Appreciate it, Liam.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: We'll go to Justin, then to D-Rock.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Hey, Liam. You were the fastest coach in franchise history
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: to get to 15 wins. You also are one of
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: the only coaches in the last seven years, I think
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: it is, to get to 15 wins in your first
• 6:45
  Speaker 5: 20 games.
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: What has the.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: Last 18 months meant to you, or however long that
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: timetable since you got hired, what has that meant to you?
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's... you know, I think when you have a, you
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: have an op to take it, you know, you kind of,
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you know, bet on your, you know, you bet on
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: yourself and you trust that part, but it is so
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: much about surrounding yourself with, with people that you trust,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: that you believe in, that are like-minded, but also challenge
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: you on a day-to-day basis. And I think that's, what's,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: really fun about working with this building. Um, not just our,
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: our coaching staff, but support staff, uh, athletic training, sports science,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: strength conditioning, you know, media, every, every group, uh, challenges
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: each other in ways that I think is really cool. Um, is,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is always looking for an edge, which I think is
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: really fun. And, and, you know, something that, You don't
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: just sit back and say, like, all right, well, we're successful. Like,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: we're not successful yet, you know? And so what we
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: are trying to build is consistency, right? And the only
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: way to earn and get respect in this league is
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: through that, is through consistency and, you know, proud for sure.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's the way that you could probably phrase
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: the last 18 months. But it is... you know, I
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: felt it when I went to LA in 2018 was
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: like as dynamic as Sean was like the building was just,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you know, you felt it, you felt the connection, you
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: felt everybody being on the same page, but also challenging
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: one another and how you could walk into every office
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: and learn something. And so I think that's what, um,
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: you know, maybe you can point to in ways of
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: why there's been success. And so, um, And then when
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: the players are willing to run through a wall and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: do what you're asking them to do, I think that's
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: kind of what can happen.
• 8:53
  Speaker 5: And then I saw a stat yesterday, and you kind
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: of touched on it in your first answer, where you
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: guys were able to put up 35 without attempting to
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: pass 20 or more yards. What does it say about
• 9:05
  Speaker 5: your offense that this whole offseason, that was kind of
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: a big piece of what you guys were doing, and
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: now you're in season and able to adjust and still
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: get the job done.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was nice to see, honestly, was, you know,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: I think our depth of target over the first two
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: weeks was relatively high, you know, and that's great. Like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: I love being able to push the ball down the field,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: but also there's a fine line, right, of, like, does
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the pocket allow? Does the coverage allow? Want to be
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: able to take some ops, and Trevor is good at it,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: and our wideouts are good at it as well, but also, like,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: Knowing the game, right? Like what's the kind of game
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: this is going to be? How do we have to
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: move the football this week going into it? I think
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: our coaching staff, you know, did a really nice job
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: this week of being connected on the plan and having
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: good answers for. okay, maybe we do have a few
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: ops or plays that are designed to go down the field,
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: but giving Trevor some real checkdowns that are easier to
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: get to that you know are going to get out.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: It's hard sometimes when you have a checkdown that the guy,
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: whether it's a tight end or a back, is involved
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: in the protection, and then he's checking out because he
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: could get eaten up. If they blitz somebody or have
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the DN rush a certain way, that check down could
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: get eaten up. And so I thought we did a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: nice job of planning our check downs accordingly, and I
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: think we protected well up front. And to stay on
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: schedule in the run, I think we had one true
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: negative run Um, I thought we stayed on schedule in
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: the run game. And so, um, I think that if
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: you can win in different ways, Justin, like that is key, right?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Like you gotta be able to win in different ways
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in this league. Um, it would be amazing to say
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: we're going to walk into every single Sunday with the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: same exact formula and it doesn't matter, but we all
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: know that that's not always the case in this league. Um,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Their guys are paid a lot of money to do
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: it at a high level, too. So it's on us.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: We do have to be able to adjust at times.
• 11:21
  Speaker 5: Thank you, Liam.
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: We'll go to D-Rock, then to Mark.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Hey, Liam, what's been the biggest reason that Josh Hammer
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: has been able to stay on that steady upward trajectory?
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Trajectory man um dna you know like who he is
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: as a guy um the way that he prepares the
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: way that he practices um you know he's he's really
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: smart like first of all as just as a dude
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: as a person but also football makes sense to him
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: you know and so to to be able to handle
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the workload of not just the offensive game plan, but
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: also as the, you know, PP on punt, the kickoff
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: dynamics that go into the kickoff coverage, and then also KOR, right?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: So it's like there's a lot that he does. He
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: wears a lot of different hats. He studies his tail off.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: I think Edgar Bennett does a phenomenal job with those
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: guys of working with him throughout the week. He gets
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: extra reps during the week on the side, extra walkthroughs.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: I think we're diligent about the preparation, but also he's
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: definitely self-driven in a lot of ways. He wants to
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: be really good. He's confident in his abilities. He made
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: a heck of a catch in practice this week in
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: our Mamba period on a fade where he just went
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: up and on top of somebody again and made a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: contested catch. So he practices the right way and continues
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: to do it. So Anything that he can give us
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: on Sundays is a bonus. What's your favorite thing about him?
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: He's not necessarily football-like. Yeah. Man, he's a quiet, quiet
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: dude that on the football field is gnarly. That, to me,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: is what he is. In the building, he's pretty quiet.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: You don't always... hear him or feel him like being, uh,
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: you know, just personality wise, pretty quiet and goes about
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: his business, but then you feel him out on the grass.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: And I think that that's, um, you know, something I
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: do appreciate is play, play energy and play juice. And, um,
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: the little things that we coach in terms of like,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: as a blocker on the perimeter, getting last touch, right?
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: Like you might not make every single block as a receiver,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: but if you're intentional about, like, right as the whistle's
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: blowing that you're getting last touch on the defender, that's
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: something we coach a lot, and he does it pretty consistently,
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: you know. So I think when you look at the guy,
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: he's just consistent. He's just consistent, and so far he's
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: been trustworthy. Thanks. Mm-hmm.
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: We'll go to Mark Long. Valium, defense leads the NFL
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: in points allowed. What do you love on what you're
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: seeing from that side of the ball? Obviously, we talked
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: about Antonio, Ventrell, D.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: Ham.
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: What else are we missing there that's kind of the
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: key to that?
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I think playing team defense. Like, just playing team defense.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: especially in some of the hard moments, I thought, specifically
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: on Sunday, like end of half, you know, making them
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: snap it a few more times and then obviously coming
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: to make the play before the half. And then you
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: look at the turnover on our end offensively, like we
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: turn the ball over on P and 10 in our
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: own territory and give up three points. That is massive.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: Like that is so critical for Momentum, just points in general,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: and just confidence, right? And so when I showed some
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: of the guys' clips from today was, you know, just guys,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: when you look at all 11, if a run goes
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: to one way, and if you see your backside corner,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: you know, hustling their tails off to create an angle,
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: like that's when you know the guys are– playing free,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: they're running the football, they're playing together. There's a standard,
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: I think, on that side of the ball in terms
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: of being violent, being physical, running to the football. You know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Campy says it all the time that God rewards those
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: who run to the ball, and it's true. And the
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: way that they play, it takes care of itself. And
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: so is it always perfect? Is there a ton to
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: continue to coach off of and learn from? Yes, without
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: a doubt. But the complementary football getting the turnovers, but
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: also really the hard moments, the hard times of locking in,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: setting a standard, and not allowing them in the end zone.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, it is pretty cool to watch.
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: And then if I can bring up one negative, the
• 16:50
  Speaker 4: screen pass right in front of you, Was that really
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: four on two blocking?
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: It was three on two, yeah. Three on two. How
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: gut-wrenching is that to watch? Yeah, it was tough. Because
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: that should have popped for 30 yards. That was a
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: challenging one. We hadn't done much offensively yet up until
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: that point. We get the turnover. It's the first play.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: We had run a bootleg earlier, and we had some runs,
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: so I thought we had set it up. fairly well
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: and um so what happened was all right Emanuel kind
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: of got beat on the initial like but I think
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: maybe we could have got past it but so and
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: Hainsey's about to block somebody I forget which D lineman
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: it was and he thought he had Ezra's help but
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: Ezra was going to look down the field and there
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: was really nobody there and so that's yeah it was
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: frustrating especially when um It's a game where you're not
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: getting as many explosives down the field. You're trying to
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: find different ways of creating explosives. And so, yeah, it's
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: definitely frustrating. It was literally the same exact screen that
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: we hit on Cleveland, to be honest. So it's like
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: we've run it before. We've repped it well before. But
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: that was, in a good way, that was... one of
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: very few instances, Mark, where we did not sustain blocks long, right? Like,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: so much throughout that game, and it was a point
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: of emphasis going into the week was, guys, we have
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: to sustain our blocks longer, right? Like, in this league,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: if you just kind of have a guy covered up
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: for a second and allow him to go, you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's not a recipe for success. So, I thought in
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the run game and in protection, we blocked longer than
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: we did a week ago. It did not show up
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: on that play. Yes, it was definitely frustrating, but on
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: a positive, it allows us to keep coaching. It allows
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: us to keep showing them, like, guys, look, like, what
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: else do you want us to say here? You know, like,
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: this is just about effort and strain and also, hey,
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: playing in space, right, for a big guy, for big
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: guys out in space. We're not the biggest group in
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the world, so we have to be good in space.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: And so, look, it's continuing to learn and coach. Thanks, buddy.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: This will be.
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: The last one that we have time for, breath. Hey, Coach,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: just a clerical thing real quick.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: Did Travis ever get the ball that Josh was trying
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: to get for him?
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: Oh, man. uh I don't know um I was just
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: talking about it and I haven't gotten a clean answer
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I think we've been in communication with those guys over
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: there and um I think they're getting they've gotten it
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: sorted out I can't say for certain if we have
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: the actual ball or not um, you know, I know
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: there was something that went on there, but I think
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: it's all squared away. I think they'll, um, get it
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: taken care of. All right. Real question though.
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: Uh, you guys have set the precedent over the last
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: year and change it.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: If you practice well, you're going to get some opportunities
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: and earn them. Uh, Josh, obviously you got.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: 23 snaps, BTJ only 23 on offense yesterday.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Do you think the message is pretty clear in that?
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: Like, whether offense, defense, whoever, did they kind of know that?
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we weren't necessarily, like, sending any message.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: We were playing it a little bit more 12, and
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: also some of the things that we had Josh on
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: specifically were things that, you know, we feel good about
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: him doing within a role that he has. We are 100%.
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: We need all these guys. We need BT to continue
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to ascend, and, you know, there wasn't any real, like,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: message it was just hey like we all gotta do
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: our part and that's on us as coaches too but
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: you know I think the response was more as a
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: group as a team like what you're proud of is
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: okay last year fourth quarter you fall apart against Houston
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: you have a good week of practice you beat a
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: good football team 35 to 6 this year we fall
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: apart in the fourth quarter we have a good week
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: of practice, we beat a good football team 35 to 6.
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: So like I think for the group, for them all
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: to know it was, you know, eye-opening in ways to say,
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: hey guys, like it's not some like crazy formula here
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: that who we are and who we are as a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: football team is that. But We are 100% going to
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: need BT to make plays down the field and continue
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: to ascend and make contested catches and do the things
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: that he does really well. And that's on us as
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: a staff to continue to put him in those positions.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: And he's going to make a ton of plays for
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: us this year. I have no doubt in my mind. Thanks.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: Appreciate it. Thank you.
