• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Such a dominant performance.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: What can you say about your team continuing to get
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: better week in and week out, especially at this point
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: in the season.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was the message in there was you know,
• 0:08
  Speaker 3: it's fun to be around this group. They continue to
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: you know, rise to these challenges that we you know,
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: present each week, and you do feel like we are
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: improving in some ways, you know, in different areas. Right
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: in all three phases, there's different areas that continuously need
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: to improve upon, and I think our guys have done
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: a nice job of staying that course, working intentionally throughout
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: the week and then coming out on Sundays and putting
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: it on tape. Career day for Trevor Lawrence, can you
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: describe what you liked about his effort today? I thought
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: he was very accurate with the football started hot, you know,
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: allowing these guys to be able to continue to catch
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: and run, especially over the middle of the field. The
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: vertical throws I thought were very impressive, you know, six
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: total touchdowns, scrambling. Very proud of Trevor and his preparation,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the way that he's practiced, the way that he's continued
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: to lead our offense and do what we're asking him
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: to do at a high level though, I mean, he's
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: playing at a high level right now.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Was this as good a day as he's had since
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: you've been here, just actually throwing the ball?
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: I think you would say one of the best ones
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: we've he's had. Absolutely. You could feel it though, like
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: throughout the weeks last few weeks, especially that he's continuously
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: gaining more and more confidence, continuity in chemistry with the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: guys that he's playing with, executing the plan. But also
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: then again, I mean he had a ditto play. I
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: mean from last week, the rollout to his left across
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: his body, zero blitz, same exact kind of play that
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: we actually were running as last week to Tim Patrick.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: So again, that's him being special, that's him being a
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: football player and making a play. So yeah, I would
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: say that he was one of his better performances that
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: I've seen.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Were you the one he was kind of shrugging at
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: after that point.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he gave me a little shrug, you know.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: I mean, it was just so cool. They did hit
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: it from a little bit more depth this time. Last
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: week they had all out on the line of scrimmage,
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: and that was where we were like, you know, get
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to your you know, protect yourself. That was really the
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: thing of last week that we wanted them to do.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: But guys making plays. Guys made plays, and I would
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: continue to like, you know, I like to continue to
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: see that over a guy trying to be perfect on
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: a play call.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: Thirty one first half points today after twenty eight last Sunday,
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: seventy your first eight drives points. This five game win streak,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you've won by an average of nineteen point eight. So
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: what challenges do you have now in your staff that
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: you're winning the games you're supposed to win and you're
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: getting it done at a rather easy fashion. What's it
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: like to coach now breeding this success?
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we know the challenge that we have going out
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: West this week against a very high quality opponent. And
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: it's just fun to be able to keep coaching because
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: yes we were we've won these last x amount of
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: games and execute at a high level. But when you
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: when you continue to elevate and raise the standard of performance,
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: of practice, of preparation. That's what I think is fun
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: about this group and that they don't want to just say, man,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: that was a good win. We can kind of hang
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: back and not go to work this week. They want
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: to continue to be intentional about their efforts about taking
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: care of their bodies and doing it together. Is a
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: group that cares about each other. We all do, I think,
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: coaches and players alike. And you know, there's still so
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: much room to continue to grow as a team. And
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: as you get into December, playing your best football is
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: very important and we have another opportunity to go do
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that this Sunday.
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: Liam Trevor's ascension, no turnovers in the last three weeks,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: touchdowns on the first three possessions the first time since
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: ninety eight. Is this you figuring him out, him figuring
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the offense out, the combination of the you know, what
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: do you contribute to combination?
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: I would say that the pre snap operation has definitely settled.
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: I would say for him in terms of the motion shifts,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: there's a lot going on right well that I think
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: has chilled out for him a little bit. In terms
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: of man we're able to now run more of the
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: same but just out of different looks. So time on task, repetition,
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: carrying plays over right from week to week that maybe
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: have worked that we just want to dress up and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: so I think that that's really helped and allowed him
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: to just go play and once the ball is snapped,
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: go use his his traits and his skill set. Because
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: you saw today, I mean, and we've seen over the
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: last few weeks that like I liked, we like throwing
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: the football. I mean, him throwing the football is a
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: good thing right now to those guys and we're protecting
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: at a high level. He trusts the group in front
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: of him protecting and trusting the guys out on the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: perimeter go and make plays when the ball's in the air.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: So I think it's probably a combination of those things
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: that you know sometimes just takes a little time.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: He wiliam a travis et in three catches, three touchdowns.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Just what do you have to say about his game
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: and being able to use him in the receiving game?
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: How much?
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: How much does that help the offense?
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we finally hit a screen for a big one.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: There a part of our offense that we've you know,
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: worked hard at and hasn't exactly been perfect by any means.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: So look, it's again the totality of your your offense.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: You want to try to be getting all cylinders to
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: at some point click right. And when you've got a
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: guy like TJ that can make people missing space, that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: got great hands, vision out on the perimeter, just finding
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: different ways to get him the ball. And he ran
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a great route right before the half where kind of
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: made it look like an option route. He just stuttered
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: his feet, got the linebacker to stop and beat him
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: over the top. And then the angle route again that
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: we kind of had similar last week, the one that
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Jacoby with the angle route underneath that he ends up
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: making the great route and throwing catch on So to
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: have it back be able to do both for you
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: is huge, and he just continues to ascend. What happened
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: to Trevor's finger injury report coming out here soon.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: I really don't know. I just know you threw for
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: six touchdowns. I have no idea.
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: Laam a ancio grats on the victory. A lot of
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: all the success is happening since you've gotten Jacoby into
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: the mix. You got him from Vegas and all that.
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: Did you know he was this good in terms of
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: possession receiver because it just seems like every time Trevor
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: has him and he just catches everything. Is this all infectious?
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: Kind of with the rather receivers?
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I think there's definitely part of that comes into play.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: We had a lot of respect for Jacoby watching him
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: over the years, whether it was in New England or
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: in Vegas, knowing that he was going to be able
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: to come in and make an immediate impact on our offense.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I think it's helped open up not just the confidence
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: that Trevor has been able to throw and catch, but
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: also helps open up some other guys right where you've
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: got a few other people that the defense has to
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: identify and defend, and ultimately you're trying to make the
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: defense defend every blade of grass that's both vertically and horizontally.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: So he's been huge for our offense. He blocks his
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: tail off and he's a great dude who football makes
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: a lot of sense to Jacoby. You don't have to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: tell him something too many times before he gets it
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: right and glad we have them. Yeah, thank you, guys,
