• 0:25
  Speaker 1: our players, you know, to come over here and have
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: such a great fan base you know here, Um that
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: that support the Jags and and um, you know we
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: look forward to it. Um. It should be a great
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: crowd you know Sunday and and uh it's you know
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: it's something that our players feed off of. Yeah, you
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: know it. The two other times I've been over here,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you know we've traveled on Thursday. Uh, getten here today
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and and keep keep you know, keep things moving, keep
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: things rolling. And you know, I really don't think there's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: a right or wrong answer, you know, um for when
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: when teams come over But UM, I enjoy the Thursday
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: into Friday. You know it's it's kind of a shock
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the system once you get here. But um, it's it's uh,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: you know, we got a great team that it spends
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: a lot of hours putting this trip together, you know,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: and um it's it's seamless, and I just kind of
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: get out of the way and let them take over
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: and they just they just tell me where to be. Yeah,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: you know, And again I don't think there's a right
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: or wrong answer. I like sleeping in my bed for
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: a couple more days. I like game planning and preparing
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: you know at home, um, with with our offices and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: the field and everything. It's just it's just my preference,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you know, quite honestly. Um. But again I don't think
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: it's not necessarily the right way. It's just that's the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: way I enjoy. I enjoy doing it, you know, get
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the days in, you know, and get the guys um
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: somewhat acclimated best we can, and prepare before we make
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the trip over. Yeah. He uh, you know, he worked
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: today limited limited basis. Um, we are going to try
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to push him one more day tomorrow. I'll see where
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: he's at. But um, if he can't, then you know,
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: we'll be back to where we were, you know last
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: weekend with with Christian, you know, doing the punts and Jamachael,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: uh you know, on the kickoff returns and things of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: that nature. But but we'll see one more day, see
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: where he's at. And we're optimistic back obviously appear Travis
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: does that necessarily Travis, I've I mean, I believe he
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: can definitely get more carries, more touches, uh, you know, obviously,
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: But but we've got a lot of faith and belief
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: in Jamachael and obviously Snoop and and you know that's
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: why we drafted Snoop and and and got him in here.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So it's a good opportunity for him. But we know
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Travis is going to get the bulk of the bulk
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: of the work. And but at the same time, those
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: other two, um have to be ready to go. And um,
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: you know, excited to watch those three play on Sunday. Yeah,
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: I listen, I've I've played or coached against him a lot,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: and that's one of the things that that I appreciate
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: about him. His his his willingness to run, you know,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and and extend plays and plays tough that way. And um,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: you know, I would expect that he's pretty close to
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: if he takes the field, and AND's something that our
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: defense has got to be prepared for and they gotta
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: understand that, you know, when when certain things break down,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: he's gonna take off and run. And you know, we've
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: got to make sure that we uh, you know, do
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: our job, especially on scrambles, that we attach ourselves to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: a receiver number one and then number two, make sure
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: that that he you know, we limit the amount of
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: yards that he can't get, you know, if he does scramble. Yeah,
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: you just want me to give the game plan away.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, you know what I mean, I might have
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: been born at night. It went last night. You know
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: what what probably his impressed me about Travis one h Um.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You know, we we know as athleticism, we know what
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: he's done, you know, in college and obviously is short
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: time playing last year. But I think, um, the way
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: he continues to develop and grow every single week. You know,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: he he doesn't make the same mistake twice and that's
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: a growth mentality that he has. And you know, he's
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: a hard worker. He hard works hard in practice. He
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: wants to get better, he wants to learn, h he studies,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: you know, and those are all things that really kind
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: of stand out to me. You know, obviously this is
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: my first the first year to be around him. But
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: but those are thinking for a young running back. And
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: how he uh also takes care of himself physically, you
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: know once he's off the field. UH is a big
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: part of that. And you know he does a nice
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: job there. Y you know, Trevor's Trevor is another one
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: that's learning our system. He's growing in our system. You know,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: he's got that growth mentality where he wants to get
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: better every time he takes the field. You know, I
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: think these last couple of weeks he's kind of proven
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that and and um, you know, he just just a
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: great leader in the locker room, you know, on the field,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: great communicator with us as a staff and and really
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: has um you know, really embraced I think just new
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: staff you know in three years, right, three years, different
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: head coach, different coordinator, different position coach these last three years.
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: And how he sort of handled that and matured through that,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: UM And and that's that's hard to do, you know
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: for a young player. And he continues to get better,
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: continues to grow and and uh, I think I think
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: you know, the sky can be you know the limit
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: with him. You know, that's that's a big part of
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the game nowadays is the is not only the physical
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: part of it, but the mental part as well. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: that's something that we we spend a lot of a
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: lot of time, um, helping our players and providing the
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: resources you know, that they need if if they're dealing
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: with something, you know, off the football field, and maybe
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: even the stress of playing you know, sometimes can affect players.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: And we've got a great team in place with the
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Jaguars organization that um, they do a great job providing resources,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: they do a great job of providing one on one counseling.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: They just do a great job of the support away
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: from football you know that these players need. And and UM,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: it goes a long way, uh, you know, to be
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: able to see the health and mental health of these
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: young young athletes because there's there's a lot of demands
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: on their time. There's a lot of demands to play. Um,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: social media is a real thing and and and there's
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of stress there and being able to handle
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: that and sort of compartmentalizing everything, I think goes a
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: long way to the success they have on the field. Yeah,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: don't fumble, no, I mean, you know, it's it's it's
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: something that we talk about. It's something we work on
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: every week. We talked about a lot um and I
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: don't I'm gonna type of coach too. I don't want
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time talking about turnovers and interceptions,
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: fumbles and that, because I don't. I don't want it
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: to like penetrate their brain, you know. And now that's
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: all they're thinking about, so they become hesitant on the field.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: But look, they're they're professionals. They understand it. We've got
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to take care of the football, you know. And and uh, um,
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: you know, we've we've we've been okay there. We can
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: be better obviously, um and and the guys know it.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: But but we do reiterate it each week and work
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: on good Yeah one more oh yeah, m you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I think I think this is a trip that that
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: that does a lot of that what you're asking, um,
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: you know, Yeah, we are traveling, you know, a long way,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: you know, into a different country and and and it's
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: really opportunity for a lot of these players who have
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: never traveled out of the United States to experience a
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: different culture, a different world, a whole whole different um,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: you know, lifestyle and and and it's positives good, you know,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: and and it's I encourage them to take advantage even
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: tonight or tomorrow afternoon, to you know, experience that you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: and and UM do it with their teammates you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and and it just, uh, it builds more I think, unity, camaraderie,
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: the more chances the players can hang together, um, and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: and then it will show up on the field, you know,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: eventually
