• 0:24
  Speaker 1: You know, he's still working through it.
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: He is feeling better, but probably still a ways I say, ways,
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: he's closer, but but not where we want him to be,
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: you know, so probably going to be down for this game.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Challenging is it dealing with hamstring injuries just you don't
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: really know necessarily win to them, the best time to
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: put him in.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: You know, hamstring injuries are different by player. Everybody heals faster, slower,

  Speaker 3: you know, than than the next guy. So you take
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: him individually and our team of docs and trainers do
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: a great job of getting them getting them back and
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: you know, and especially now that this is kind of
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: his second incident really because he's missed time before that,
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: that we want to make sure he's he's one hundred percent,
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: you know upstairs before we put them back out there.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: Are there more distractions during a holiday week and how
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: do you handle loom?
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah? There are there are and they're good.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: They're good distractions because it's typically family and friends you
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: know that come in and and uh, you know, you're
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: making all the plans to have dinner and you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: all those types of things, whether you're doing it at
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: your house or going somewhere and making sure you got
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: all your dishes and you're you're on time, and you
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: got the drinks and you got the plate, and you know,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: everything's ready to go decorate whatever it might be. You know,
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the kids are all in the car, and you're you know,
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: all those different things.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: But I think our guys do a good job.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: You know, just just take a deep breath, exhale and
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: and it's part of it. You know, we enjoy it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: We enjoy being around you know, families and friends during
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: this time of the year. But at the same time,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: we understand there's a there's a ball game, and then
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: we got jobs to do.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: I guess that little bit of distraction be good on
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: a week like this with the game where everybody knows
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: the implications.
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: You hope, so you know, uh, but you know we'll
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: find out today in practice, you know, just how how
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: they respond. But typically the guys have been good about it,
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: you know, usually have a good practice, you know, on
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a Friday, and guys are guys are focused and intergest
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Do you talk do you.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Talk with the team about maybe not making this game
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: bigger than what it is?
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I mean it it's pretty big.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: It's AFC South game and things like that, but it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: not the end of the season. Yeah no, yeah, I mean,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: you're right, it's it's it's not the end of the year.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: But it's big because it's it's the next game, right,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: It's big because it's AFC South. It's big because both
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: teams are playing well, and you know, it's it's been
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: a while since both teams have been in this situation together,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: you know, And and so I think all of that
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: plays into just how you know, big this type of
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: football game is. But you still have to approach it,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: you know, uh quite honestly, no different than last week
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: or the week before. And you still got to go
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: play and try to calm your mind and and you know,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: execute your your game plan.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: We start talking about I guess we've talked about CJ.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Stroud all week. So how impactful can Josh Allen be
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: for when you're going against a team that wants to
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: take some of those downfield shots and has a quarterback
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: out there if he is able to go out there
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: and do some of the things we've seen them.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: Do this season, well, you know that's up to Josh,
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: you know, basically to to to to strain and to
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: to dig and to do everything.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: He can to try to affect, you know, to affect
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the quarterback.
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: And Josh has done a nice job all season, and
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: and you know it's going to take another another one
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: of those performances. But again, their offensive line is playing
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: playing good too, you know, and they understand where Josh
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: is going to be and and I'm sure they'll have
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: some attention that way, and and.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: And Josh is just gonna have to fight through that.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: You know, when you when you have good, good seasons,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: you you earn the respect of their opponent, just like
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: we would with you know, Will Anderson or Grenard or
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: Bosa or you know, whoever were Chris Jones whoever we're
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: playing and and you know, and they just those players,
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: you know, and Josh's case have to continue to battle
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: out there.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: This might be a little probably, but.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Did do ball that, you guys that everywhere around here
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: uses a do ball chant? Do you remember the first
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: time you heard it, and you know, did they explain
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: it to you when you.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: Got here at all?
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: Had a good idea what it meant when I got here. Obviously,
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: it's been a while since I had heard it. I
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: can't remember when, but I remember, you know, I think
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: it was the day that I was introduced here and
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: was out back and had to actually kind of do one.
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: You know, that was kind of my first time. So
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: it it it's it's it's been good for our team,
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: you know obviously after games. Uh, and just something we
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: can kind of have pride in, you know, and what
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: we what we do do you.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I mean when you tell that they they love that thing.
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: I hope so yeah, I hope so.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: I mean we live here, you know, and and it
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: and it's just I I think it's everything, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: a part of it's a part of the Jaguars, you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: and and and a part of the organization, and the guys,
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the guys embrace it, you know, and and and they
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: take it to heart. And you know, like I said,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: we do it. We do it after obviously after after
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: wins and and you know it it seems like that, uh, everybody,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: everybody feels good you know when something like that happens
