  Speaker 2: that for the so they stay on when you play.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I know I'm excited though at all.

• 0:48
  Speaker 2: especially you know these will be these are our color slogo.

  Speaker 2: I've worn some ones that were that didn't match at all,
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and I still wore them.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: Its like a rainbow.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: I just wear him one day and practice, and so
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: everybody's different. But I don't I can wear some new
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: ones drama that it.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: Took five years design them.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: No, no, not, they haven't given me too much. Uh yeah,
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: that's during the part right before Thanksgiving. He knows exactly
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: what's going on, seeing those seeing those memes about Thanksgiving drama.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So he's starting trying to start.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Some but no, it'll be Uh, they haven't given me
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: any too much flack for that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: But we've done a lot of cool stuff together.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So this is just another one to add to the list,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: and obviously a great cause here tomorrow. Is pretty amazing
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: what they're doing here in Jacksonville. So just you know,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: my brother has has known the founder, Joe Kenny, for
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: a long time and he started doing artwork with them,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: and then through that I went and visited their building
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: here and uh, it's in I believe it's in Neptune Beach,
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: And you know, just I think it's incredible what they're doing.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Though obviously it's a suicide prevention organization. It's free of
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: cost to people that need help.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: They can go and get help and it's free.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: They don't have to worry about how much it's gonna
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: cost and all those things, and it's just incredible what
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: they're doing. I think their process of how they're trying
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: to help people with mental health issues is pretty cool,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: definitely inspiring. I think all of us have been affected
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: by someone in their life, you know what, you know,
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: whether it's family, friends, whoever. Suicide is a is a
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: big issue in our world and our country, and I
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: think it's a great time to shine some light on
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: all the good they're doing. Yeah, anything else you guys got,
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it's a lot of class. Yeah, but favorite food, favorite things,
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: giving food, spooptato cast role would be up there for me.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Popular one, I guess from reading the room. What's up.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: Playing on the road for fourth time in five weeks?
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: Grind or you kind of get started to get.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Used to it. You start to get used to it.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just kind of whatever whatever they put
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: in front of us as our schedule, you just go
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: play it.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: So it's I mean, you just get used to it.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think it's been good for us
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to have to handle that as far as just being
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: on the road and not, you know, playing at home
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: is I mean, at the end of the day, it's
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: just football. But playing home at home is definitely easier
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: than playing on the road. So I think for our
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: team it's been good. And yeah, I mean I don't
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: really I guess I don't have much else on that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, it'll be nice to obviously in the
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: back half our season be at home a little bit more.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: But this is a big one obviously in Tennessee, big
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: division rival and opponent in a game we need to
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: play well and need to go get a.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Win conditions cold and wet. Is there anything you do
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: differently than you would for a normal game if the
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: ball is gonna be wet and things like that.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Not really, Uh, just try to keep the ball dry
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: as much as we can. George, if he's hearing this,
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: are all of our EQ guys do an awesome job
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: of just rotating the balls in and out and keeping
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: them dry.
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: And I mean that's all you can do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I usually have like a one of those handwarmers, but
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: the inside, instead of being just like fuzzy and warm,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: it's got this like drying material that dries your hands off,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: so that I use one of those.
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: But besides that, it's about it. It to it all.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: If it's wet or it is, it always historically been fine.
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: I mean I think a little bit of course as
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: a thrower, like you prefer the.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Ball to be dry, but you get used to it.
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I mean it's almost like you'd rather the ball be
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: really wet than just right when it gets wet is
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: when it's the slickeest, you know, when it's kind of
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: getting soaked, and the whole balls with it actually gets
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a little bit better as long as it's not too heavy.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: But like I said, as much as they can get
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: different balls in there, it usually doesn't become too much
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: of an issue. I mean, obviously you get some games
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: that are crazy, but we'll see, we'll see what happens Sunday,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: go away on the other sideline. What do you kind
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: of make you? And he was great to me. He
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: was a great voice for me and a person in
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the room just to lean on. And UH had some
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: I've had, I have some great memories with him, and
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: we keep in touch. You know, we've kind of texted
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: throughout the season all off season, and he's just always
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: been really encouraging to me. And he's still kept up
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: and obviously been a little bit busier since he's you know,
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: got the interim as he's the head coach over there,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: so I haven't talked quite as much, but it'll be
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: great to see him on Sunday. And that's a guy
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: that you know, I'll have a relationship with for uh forever.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: I mean just we had a we were really tight.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: You had a good relationship, and it'll be awesome to
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: see them. How big of an opportunity is this for
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the team to just be able to finish the season
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: four games in the division.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: It's kind of.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Where you want to be, right.
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: You look at our season and you know, a bunch
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: of crazy things happened throughout the season, some tough loss
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: is some great wins, and you look at where we're at, and.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: You're right where you want to be.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously a lot of things could go different ways,
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: but we're right where we want to be.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We control our own destiny.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: A lot of division games coming up, and that's all
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: you can ask for is just to be able to dictate,
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: you know, what you're able to do as a team,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: and you know it's not like you're hoping for someone
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: else to lose or win. We can control our own
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: destiny and we just have to take care of business
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and take it one week at a time, like we
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: like we've been doing, so that feels good to be
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in that position, and we know how big these games
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: are and you see our division shaping up, and every
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: game is so crucial, and you really just got to
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: stay focused on you know, who are and taking it
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: one week at a time because you never know what's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: gonna happen. You've seen your relationship and like trust was
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: filled with Parker grow or as he's gotten.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I mean more and more opportunities. This year's grown a lot.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I think he's always I mean, he's always been a
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: guy that I've trusted, but I think just having that
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: time together and those real game reps and full speed
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: reps just accumulated over the past year or whatever. It's
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: been just more and more. I think we're getting more
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: and more comfortable. I'm getting comfortable with how he runs
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: all the different routes and you see different looks every
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: game and you learn from him, and I think you're
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: seeing that chemistry just come along every week. So we've
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: got to keep building on that. He's been playing awesome.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, I can't speak highly enough of him and
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: just how he's attacked this year, and not just how
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: he plays on Sunday. The way he prepares and the
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: way he practices, He's earned all these opportunities and just
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: proud of how he's been playing and excited just to
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: keep building on that chemistry because you can tell it's
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: definitely coming along more and more.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Jakobe Meyers, you've only got a couple of games under
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: your built with him.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: That's that relationship kind of.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I guess from where you started.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: You're trying to build that during the season.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's you know, he's been awesome. It's been, like
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: I said this the last few weeks, it's come along
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: quicker than I would have thought. You know, sometimes that
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: takes time with different receivers to try to get that
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: chemistry and the timing and all that stuff, and it's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: been pretty seamless with him. I think obviously his experience
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: is really important. He's played a lot of football. He's
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: kind of done at all as far as the different offenses, systems.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: He's played a lot of different positions, so him understanding
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: different schemes and different concepts and what he's being asked
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: to do also helps because he can get up to
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: speed really fast and he communicates really well. So we've
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: talked a lotdre in practice to try to get more
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: and more familiar just because you don't have the off
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: season reps and all that stuff banked. But it's been awesome.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I think you've seen that's been building every week as well.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: There's been some some throws and catches where you can
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: see we're right on time. I'm letting it go before
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: he's breaking just because we've already built up a lot
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: of trust. So excited to keep building that too.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Order is it to have a head coach. It's like,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you know what, keep throwing it, don't worry about Just
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: keep throwing it, you know what I.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Mean, Yeah, just keep chucking it. Yeah, that's great.
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: I mean we talk a lot, and me and Liam
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: really we have a good relationship and we just are
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: constantly communicating, you know, throughout the week, throughout the game.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: And so I think that as a quarterback is a
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: good feeling when you know your coach trusts you and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: regardless of the circumstances. Obviously had a lot of turnovers
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: on Sunday and he's still calling I mean not just
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: calling passes. Of course, you got to throw the ball
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: to win, but on first and ten and you know,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: there's times where we could around the ball. You know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: he's still trusted me with the ball to go make plays,
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: and I was happy that we were able to get
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: it done, you know, for obviously for him, for our team,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: but offensively we were able to go on a few
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: drives at the end of the game to get some
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: points and get us in it. So it was you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: I think that's a big part of this whole team
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: deal is the trust and it's with coach to us
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: and vice versa, and I think we have that and
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: it's continuing to grow every week.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: So it's been fun. Williams.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: He's get more confidence in the pass the game last
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: few weeks.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: I just feel like outside of the turnovers, you guys
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: are moving the ball, but better kick off a few
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: games for sure.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: You know, I think we're moving it really well. There's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: definitely stuff to clean up, as there always is, but overall,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: I think we've been more consistent. Like you said, I mean,
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: we've had some some turnovers for sure that we need
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: to clean up and take care of the ball, but
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: if you take away some of those possessions, like most
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: of those possessions were moving the ball and a couple
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: of those have been you know, one of those is
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: in the red zone last week, so that takes points
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: off the board. And then obviously the backed up fumble,
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: we gave them fourteen points and you look at if
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: you look at it like that, it's you know, crazy
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: to think of what we could do on offense to
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: turn those into points. And we're scoring more consistently, keeping
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: the ball, time of possessions already been good. So it's
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: just all positives. Obviously we have to clean it up,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: but really excited for it.
