• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It seemed like today for the offense, there was a
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: lot of creativity in terms of the play calling, the
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: the ways you were you guys were able to get
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: players open the run game. Just how did you feel
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: about that aspect of the game, sort of the efficiency there.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just thought we executed at a high level.
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I thought that, you know, we came out from the
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: beginning executed, executed, you know, just really in all three
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: phases obviously as a team, but offensively, I just thought,
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: you know, it started with being able to run the
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: ball efficiently and effectively. I thought Trevor was was playing
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: really well, especially you know, just spitting the ball accurately,
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: especially going through a lot of progressions, getting to the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: number two or three or four read in the progression
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: a few times. You know, we were good in the
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: red zone, solid on third down. You know, didn't have
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: all those self inflicted wounds, you know that that we
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: have kind of been hurt by in weeks past. I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: thought the guys just executed and play their tails off.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: And I think I saw Trevor wearing wearing a wristband,
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: just why why today? And then what does that do
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: for him?
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I thought it actually really helped us. We don't you know.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: We did it for not the whole plan and everything.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: It was some specific stuff that we wanted to maybe
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: play a little bit faster and just have a little
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: bit more tempo in and out of the huddle, and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: just more clarity on some of the things. And I
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: know it definitely helped us for sure. I think I
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: think today.
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: Liam, how has you described the strain on both lines
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: of scrimmage, your offensive line, your defensive front, and the physicality.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: That's sure we won the game. I thought, you know,
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: that's where we imposed our will a little bit there
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: on the O. L and d L came out obviously defensively,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: they came out throwing a few screens early. You could
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: tell that they just wanted to get the ball on
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the perimeter and we were hunting up front. That's for sure,
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: very proud of Josh Linz Allen getting the franchise record,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: But it was it was a group effort really that
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: that whole group, the whole front, all those guys that
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: got in and had the ability to rush and create
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: some havoc and kind of keep them under duress. That
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: was really what helped us win that game and it's
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: that's where it started.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: Liam, you had to at least be mildly concerned with
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: how your team would respond. I don't know that you
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: had this in the forecast, but unbelievable response is that,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: like above and beyond what you could have expected.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, you're you're questioning how you're going to respond.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: But it wasn't necessarily a huge concern. I don't think.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: I think you know. I talked to you guys about
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: it a little bit the other day. It was a
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: quieter week, and I think that was probably because we're
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: pissed off, you know, at the finish last week, and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: we play better pissed off we are. We've talked about
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: edge for a long time now, and when we have
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: an edge and we play as a team and it's
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: about the team all the time, good things happen typically
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: for us, and I am proud of the response.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: For sure.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I wasn't really true concern was just hey me, you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: don't know, we're all new together as a team, right,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: We're all so new, and so you're you're hopeful. You
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: know that there was a focus level last night in
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: the team meeting. I felt it that these guys were
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: gonna come out pissed off today, William, you were down
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: a bunch of guys today, the wide receivers, Anton down
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: three corners.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I guess at one point, I mean, what.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: Does that say about the way you guys were able
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to respond against that kind.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: Of aver That was what you know, Bill Sheridan, one
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: of our defensive coaches, mentioned to me as I was
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: walking in the locker room, is you know, look at
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: the amount of guys that contributed to this game, really
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: in all three phases because those injuries that impacts not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: just obviously the defensive position, right, the cornerback position, well,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: it now impacts special teams and is asking other guys
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to move and maneuver and play more. And Christian braswell
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: stepping up right, so many guys. Bj Green obviously had
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: the one deal on the penalty, but he played his tailoff,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Sugar out. Those young guys obviously stepped up. You know,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: it just speaks to the you know it, they knew
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: that we needed to respond. That was really what it
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: came down to. And you when you have guys out
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: there playing for each other, playing for the greater cause
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: and the team first mentality, you know, that's what it
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: was is. Everybody was involved in it, and I'm really
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: proud of them. You said you could tell last night
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: the team meeting they were pissed off. Yea, how can
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: you give us? Yes, you know we it's a hard week, man.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: You know that was a hard obviously last Sunday. And
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: you know when you have that taste in your mouth
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: and it has to live there all week and you
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: can only get so much of that taste out of
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: your mouth and practice and going through the game planning
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and you're going through it. And last night we just
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: talked about, guys, this is let's keep this real simple.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Let's go out and cut it loose for four quarters
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: as a team and see what happens. Let's just go
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: cut it loose, man. I don't want to think about
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: what could happen, what should happen, what happened on the
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: play before, what's gonna happen three plays from now. Just
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: play in the moment, stay in the moment, pick each
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: other up when something bad happens, and let's move on
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: as a team. So yeah, I definitely had a good
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: feeling about the way that we would respond, but you
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: never know until, obviously you get into it.
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Up the top Will Brown Jacksonville. Today, three of the
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: first four Chargers offensive possessions started with a either a
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: tackle for loss, a intentional grounding, or a very positive
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: play for the defense. How did that help the defense,
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: in your opinion, set the tone for the rest of
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: the four quarters.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: It was a huge response, obviously from our defense. I
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: thought the defensive staff, led obviously by CAMPI did a
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: great job of you know, we had some different guys
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: playing in some spots, but you know, sort of trimming
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: the inventory, making it about what we do best, putting
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the players in a position to be successful as much
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: as possible, but and just letting them go Like that
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: was the biggest thing about our defense today was they
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: played with their own creativity, Like, just go play, guys,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Just go play. It's not about this or that or that.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Can't be a perfect play all the time, guys, it's
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: about you just going out and causing chaos and doing
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: your job to the best of your ability. And I
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: think that that set the tone obviously for the defense,
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: but for really our whole team. I mean, we've been
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: you know, when we play well on defense, typically we win.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: And that's the reality. And I know that those guys.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: They were specifically pissed off about the way last week ended,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: and you know, really wanted to set the tone for
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: our team today and I thought they did that.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Seems like Trevor and Jacobi have alread built a pretty
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: good connection.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: How impressive is that after being together for ten or
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: eleven days whatever, you know, speaks to the pro that
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: that Jacobe is. You know, the trust that they already
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: have is pretty cool to see. You see it at practice,
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: The way that he prepares. You know, I walked into
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: the meetings last night before everything got going, and Jacoby
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: was in one of the meeting rooms, the walk through rooms,
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: walking through on his own, going through the game plan
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: with with Edgar. I think, so, you know, just a quality,
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: quality person and he's worked his tail off to learn
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the plan. I mean, he's not out there busting assignments
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: and making you know, poor decisions. I mean, obviously I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: don't know what he had statistically today, but I know
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: he made some critical catches over the middle and some
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: big first downs on third down for us. So really
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: pleased to have him. Yeah, thank you, guys,
