  Speaker 2: Johnson's out, Junior's out, Lacy's in, Brandon's in, Luke's in
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: the rest of recovery to get back back quickly. I
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: think everybody heals differently. Uh, pain tolerance is different for everybody.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: He played at Iowa. It's a tough, tough player, tough player.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I hay, you know. I mean it just goes to show,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: you know, the the type of person that he is
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: and and how uh how important you know his teammates
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: are in this team and you know, trying to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: be available for every game.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: It's play with that for promotional purposes.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: A way, excuse me, I'm gonna click that.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: And send it to them for promotional purposes.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: It's please do.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Players in the locker room are kind of kind of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: even we split. Some say it's personal summer saying this
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: is just the next game. Where do you kind of
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: follow on that spectrum?
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's weak two, it's the Kansasity Chiefs. It's
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: the next one on our schedule, right, you know, we
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: know everything about the game and the importance of the game.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: But look, we you know, we like I said the
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: other day, you know, we're looking to improve from week one,
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: and we love the fact that the game's here, you know,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: at home and and in front of our fans and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: all that, and everybody treats them differently, right, but but
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: for me personally, it's just that's the next one, you know,
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: next one on the schedule against a really good team.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Last year in the regular season, he all's got kicked
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: it real early in the playoffs. You were aggressive and
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: felt like you needed to be. Do you still feel
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: like you have to be I guess a little aggressive
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: like that against a team like this one. I think
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: anytime you're playing, you know, quality opponents like this and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: good football teams, you have to maintain a level of aggressiveness.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You know. You know each week we try to find
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: opportunities to do that, and you know we were successful
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: a couple of times last year doing that. But you know, too,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: you got to see how the game goes and and
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: see the kind of getting the feel and the flow
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: and and uh, you know, obviously you know they're aware
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: right from what obviously Detroit did in Week one and
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: what we did last year and all that. So it's
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: going to be it'll be harder, you know, to try anything,
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: but you still try to take advantage if you can
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: in all all three phases a home game like this one,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Is there ever any thought in your head of, Okay,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: let's do something get the crowd going early on our
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: side and that at No, I don't. I don't think
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you go chasing stuff like that. I think you just
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: stay within yourself and execute your game plan and and uh,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: if something big or great happens in the game, you know,
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: we get the we get the crowd in it. But
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: but I don't think you uh have to do anything
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: extra special to get the fans in it.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: I know you guys were obviously concerned about Kenny Moore
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: in the slot for Indianapolis last week, and perhaps that's
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: why Christian's numbers were low.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Is there an asserted effort to say, hey, let's make
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: sure you know he gets more involved this week?
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Or was it the circumstantial defense? I think it's more circumstantial.
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: We're talking two different defenses, right, two different philosophies. One
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: is his own zone scheme. One is a pressure man
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: type scheme. And you know, Christian thrives a little bit
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: in some of the man man type type schemes, and
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: so last week was just just the way the defense
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: is and and it wasn't for not trying to get
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: him the football. The ball just went went other places.
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: So you know he'll get his opportunities in this game.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: And you know, Trevor does a great job of spreading
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: the ball around and you know, trying to find the
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: open receiver. So you know, Christian is a big part
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: of it, and and we got to somehow get him,
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: get him going.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: You see Josh get a call sacks last week by
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: containing Anthony Richardson and making sure that you know, he
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: doesn't get out, you know, get outside.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: And able to run up.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: How encouraging is that for this coming week when you
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: got a Mahomes who different type of quarterbacks, very elusive.
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Still, yeah, you know it is. It's it's encouraging. It
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: shows you know, discipline in your past pass rush. You
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: know you can't ever get above the quarterback and you
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: don't ever want to get underneath the quarterback, right because
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: those are two dynamics where the quarterback can get around
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: you or up and out you know, of the pocket.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: So being able to do that and then getting pressure
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: from other other spots too, really helps the sack totals
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: and individually, and Josh did a nice job. And Josh
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: played played well. I mean he played with aggression, he
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: played with speed, he played physicality, all things that we
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: look for, you know, out of one of our top players,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: it seems.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: Like Trevor has sort of maintained is even keel. This
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: is obviously a big match up your home. You know,
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: how has he approached the week and what have you seen.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Out of him? You know, I think the you know,
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: the matchups are for you guys to talk about. I
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: think Trevor just stays within the game plan and really
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: tries to execute and have communication with us as a
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: staff to uh to understand the plan and how we're
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: trying to attack. And and you know, he spends a
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: lot of time in the film room, you know, uh,
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: before and after practice, studying the tape and and you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: he just he's such a competitor. He just wants to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: win and and and and you know, get get his
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: skill guys involved the best he can. So it's it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: it's not necessarily Trevor versus Patrick or vice versa, because
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they both play the same position. I just think Trevor
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: is going to do everything he can to help Jacksonville,
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: you know, succeed, you know where he can do.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Them a couple of times recently, and when you have
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: a young quarterback uh team twice, do you give him
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: maybe a little bit more input in terms of this
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: game playing together, in terms of what he.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Likes to him, Yeah, I think, you know, having that
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: familiarity with them and in the same defensive coordinator obviously helps.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: There's history there, you know, Uh, we know, he knows
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: we all gotta play and coach better, you know, uh
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: against uh against them, but uh yeah, you know, and
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: then and then his input, you know, where he can
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: and interject where he can, and what he likes and
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: dislikes is is very helpful to us too. You wish
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: it would have been like somebody like ninety seven, right zone,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I can't control the weather, how much how much.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Different is you when you're looking at the at the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: tape of the Chiefs without Travis Kelsey, particularly in the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: red zone.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: Just I mean, I mean, obviously you can't.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: You don't control how many snaps he's gonna play on Sunday,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: But I mean, how different is that offense.
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: With him without him, you know, it's it, it is different,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: you know. I think that's that's the one thing that
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: that stood out, you know, watching watching last week's game,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: just you know, having having that trust factor obviously with
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: the with the with the top receiver and tight end
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: and Travis and just knowing where they spent so much
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: time together. He knows Patrick knows exactly where he's gonna
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: be when he's gonna be, and they do a great
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: job of going off schedule, and I think that's the
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: element that that they possibly missed last week, right the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: off schedule plays and just knowing where where Travis is
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be. And that's the hard thing. I mean that
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: that got us last year in the red zone a
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: couple of times, you know, just knowing and understanding where
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: where number one, where eighty seven is gonna be. And
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: then you know, when when Patrick does move and go
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: off schedule, you know, you've got to be on point.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: And this is where I discipline and understanding, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: scramble rules and all that come into play for us
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: as a defense.
