  Speaker 1: S easier that way. Uh, how he's done moving around
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: from I used to play. I mean, I guess this
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: week ability two weeks in the same position in a row.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: At how hard is what he's doing.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I've never done it personally, and I
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: don't think a lot of alignment have actually done it.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: But to play at the level he's playing, you know
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: what is it for different positions? Now?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's just I'm pretty sure it's unheard of. Pat
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: McCarey has a little bit of experience doing that too,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: so like he could answer it a little better. But
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: I mean, besides those two, I don't think I've ever
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: seen anyone do that. So it's really cool what he's doing.
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: And it's fun to be like fun to be a
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: part of it and play next to him and just
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: you know, see what he see what he's doing to
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: prepare in the offensive line room and just be a
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: part of it.
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: You can't Sam and get all.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've definitely joked about it in the room,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: but you don't want to joke about it too much,
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: and then that kind of puts like a cloud over
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: over Hainesy and you don't want any bad juju going around.
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: So what has been able to do this season?
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: Just the versatility yesterday let the team in receiving yards.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: Could you see that early in camp like he was
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: locked in this season, kind of like wonder duns.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Back from last year.
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean TJ.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: He's always locked in, even last year. Like I never
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: like thought he didn't work hard or anything. He's always
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: you know, head down, doesn't talk very much, just works
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: as hard as possible. And it's cool to see like
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: all his hard work coming coming forward and him just
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: balling out and when he gets the ball in space,
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: he does some special stuff. So it's fun to watch
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: the screen game and alive yesterday.
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Just what are you guys a lot like about those
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: players and Lams scheme and how it gets.
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: You guys out there in space?
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know the screen game is you know, it
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: normally comes on like third down, so it's it's a
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: refresher for us, even though we run a lot. Makes
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: it really nice not having the pass pro all the time.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: So block the guy, throw him and then go try
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: to get downfield and.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Make it go.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: And uh, the more the more it's successful, the more
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: he'll call it. So having that big screen pop yesterday
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: was a lot of fun and hopefully he calls more
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: of those.
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: And just what have been your impressions of Lay as
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: he's gone through the season with you guys.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe what if you wanted about him since you know,
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: when you first got there. Yeah, I've been.
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: I've been impressed with the way he carries himself. His
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: offense is really fun to be a part of the
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: way he calls it is great, and just the juice
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: he brings around the building. I think a lot of
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: people can feel that along with like Grant and all
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: those guys, all the new coaches, all the young guys.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: It's a lot of fun being playing for them because
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: they just bring their good juice and you just want
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to play for those guys. And it's it's really fun.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: About the offense that is different. And you said it's
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: fun to kind of be a part of what is
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: it about? If it does that, why is it so successful?
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: Just like the marriage of the run in the past.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Uh, you know, we're not just like always dropping back
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: on second, along and third and long throw some runs
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: in there and stuff. So we're pretty unpredictable, I feel
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: like for defenses, which makes it fun for us because
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: you never know if we're past setting or run blocking,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: so it makes it a little easier for a long now.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you feel the confidence that he's playing
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: with right now and you uddle with him.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna be honest, I mean it feels pretty close
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: to the same. He's always pretty poised and confident in
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: the huddle at all times, even if stuff's going bad,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And uh, I think that is just being a pro.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: No matter what happens, you just got to, you know,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: play the next play. And I think we're all doing
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: a really good job of that, even with like the
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: throw he made yesterday, he was hype, but we came
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: back in the huddle and it's time for the next play.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: So as a like kind of blocking from the quarterbacks,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: he's like, can always.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Keep the playing live.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, realistically, you'd like to stay in front
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of your guy at all times and you know, not
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: have to have him run out of the pocket, but
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: when he has to do that, you just try to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: stay in front of your guy as much as possible
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: and just make it to where he is a lane.
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: And uh, it makes it a little easier knowing that
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: he can, you know, use his lacy to play live
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: and see him run for first downs and stuff. Is
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a lot of fun.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: So games without giving up a sack the offensive line
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: with different guys in here and there.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: How impressive, is that what you guys?
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean we just kind of treat every game like, uh,
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: we kind of treat every game like it's super important. So,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't I didn't even know that was
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: a stat honestly. I know we didn't give up on
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: last week. But I think we just look forward to
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: to each game and just trying to, you know, pass
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: per the best we can. And a lot of it
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: has to do with Trevor too like like like he said, uh,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: extending plays and getting out of the pocket and stuff.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: So that's a cool set. Giving up a sack and.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: Four games line.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: That's been a pretty big topic of conversation in the
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: offensive line room at some point or not or no, no, I.
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: Mean no, we don't really bring that up. Kind of
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: watch the film and you know, you don't really bring
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: up the bad plays. You watch them, but you kind
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: of just move on. So that's that is cool. I
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: didn't know that.
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: Hey, Eric, this is for the beginning of the season.
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: The tur Rivers have been an emphasis of this defense
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: and is it something that really is contagious wants it starts,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: it just builds and builds and and you got so
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: many different.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: Guys you who have gotten theirs in so to speak.
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: But uh, does ermers become an end team competition?
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah, I would say so. But most importantly, it's
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: the biggest, uh indicator of wins. I think when you
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: have a team that's uh, I don't know where we
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: are in turnovers, right, I think we're you know, we're
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: pretty up there. But it directly correlates to winning. I
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: think that's what you're seeing. So that's why it's so
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: much of an emphasis.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: With with how the uh defense is playing, how part
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of the offensive playing.
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: They've been getting a lot of credit. Uh yeah, Trump's
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: six touchdowns just herey, But you guys have really stetched
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: up the way you've been able to keep teams number
• 5:56
  Speaker 4: one run defense?
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: Just how has that been?
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: Just going out there, just everybody practicing the right technique
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: run game. It takes all eleven people out there to
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: stop the run. And when you see like one person
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: get out of a gap or one person you know,
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: not execute the right technique, you start to see big
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: players in the run game. So everybody's you know, been
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: really dialed in into the technique and we're all bought
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: in on how to stop the run. And we know
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: how to stop the run. So I think that's the
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: most important part. Just what was that like? I mean,
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: it's it's exciting anytime you can get back there and
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: sack the quarterback. I wish we would have held the
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: ball out so I can gotta get a sack, fumble
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: or something, but you know, you gotta take what you
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: can get.
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: All you guys set up a whole year quarnering and
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: said you just what was that say about your guys?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Screw just that we're a close knit group. We spent
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of time together, you know, outside of football,
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: and uh, we actually care about each other. We actually
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: love each other. So I think, you know, when you
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: have different people roll in and and do different jobs,
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: everybody fits seamlessly because we you know, we're together. What
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: we've seen kind of from a county or how much
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: growth you said, Chunks since you got here met him,
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: just you know, doing this his process more refined, doing
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: the work before the game. I think that's where the
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: game is one and you start to see the results
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: that he's having on Sunday and you know the players
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: that he's making. He's a big talented kid. He's already
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: very smart, very fast, you know, lengthy and rangey. So
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: you know, once you know what to do, you know
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: he can make plays.
• 7:23
  Speaker 4: Hope people put his name out of there, Kush and
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: watch for interviews and what about.
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: Him do you think would make him like a good name?
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: Cause what what is it despied that you like playing for?
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: He's very personal in terms of like how he coaches
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: the game and how he feels about people. He's not
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: afraid to have like positive words of affirmation, which I
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: feel is is rare in his business. You know, people
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: always judging the player based on what they do, but
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: he judges you based on the person you are and
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: uh and how you grew up and taking that and
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: expressing that on the field. A lot of us have.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Some of us have tough backgrounds, some of us don't.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: But if you do, you know, you've been tough all
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: your life. So just exercise that on the field and uh,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: and just do it to the best of your ability.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: So I think that's what you know, what put him
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: in that conversation. It's an energy being.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: The same every day, whether it's on the building. Is
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: a unique for a coach.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: In yourstrant, Not necessarily. I think the transparency is unique,
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: and it just it just feels like a like a family.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: I think that's as a defender and as a defense,
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: that's what That's what you want to feel for your coach.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: It doesn't feel like he's just our coaching. He's coaching us.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: It feels like, you know, he's a you know, a
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: big uncle or something. He just trying to tell us
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: and direct us in the right path. I don't know
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: if that's the Italian part of him, but yeah, it's
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: that's what it feels like, and that's what he brings.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: So like, as you sat up here, it's like, fout
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: how close everybody is and all that stuff. And I
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: did family?
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Is that unusual that whatever you've been.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, place, so I think usual in the NFL, for sure.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Everybody got their own lives, everybody got different things. I
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: think the unique part about Jacksonville is it's not too
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: much to do, you know, so we all get together,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: you know, we all get together and stuff isn't too far.
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: You don't have to most most of you'll have to drive.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: It's probably like twenty minutes or something to like link
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: up with somebody. So I think, uh, that's the unique
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: part about Jacksonville.
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, does it sound corny or feel corny or
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: when you talk about that too, like other guys around
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: the league, did they go maybe?
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, if you if you having a bad
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: season and your team not good, yeah, you'll feel that way.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I get that.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's fund of the season is still having major
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: games to to play and playoff implications.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: That's kind of what you wanted when you got here,
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: such as.
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: How it's happish very I mean, we all came here
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: with a job to do and so we're just executing
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: that to the best of our ability, and you know,
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: that's why we're in the position we're in. So it's
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: definitely encouraging to see the pieces that we brought in
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: and the people that we brought into uh jail like this.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: How much does me and partner that creating a family
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: take too.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: He puts together events on Saturday where our families can
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: come and everybody can you know, experience other people's family,
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: So it definitely he puts stuff in the schedule to
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: help facilitate that feeling, and that's as proof. Yeah, yeah,
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: I had a little bit in the last uh location
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: I was at, and you know, it helps for sure
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: cause you spend so much time away from your family.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So does that just what does that do when you
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: guys are around me? Like what was like? Is there
• 10:37
  Speaker 3: like gratitude and like ardor for him, I guess kind
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: of to be a bit like, uh, it just helps
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: everybody know each other. Like it's just so many people
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: on the team, it's hard to get to know everybody.
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: So if I see him with his family or he
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: sees me with my family, just a little bit more
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: interaction that you normally wouldn't have. So yeah, it definitely
• 10:58
  Speaker 3: reads a comfortable standpoint, I guess. Alright, thanks say thanks,
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: thanks
