  Speaker 3: Huge?
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: You know, like I said, the guys have worked their
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: tails off, you know since really we got here, right,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: these guys have done everything we've asked them to do
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: from that standpoint, and to have the support of the
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: community at the game making it as loud as humanly
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: possible will be awesome. I mean it's just a great
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: op for our city, for for our organization for sure.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Two days of practice.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: What have you seen from the guys in the position
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: group without a yeah, I think those guys know they
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: may have to step up.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: You know, there's multiple guys that have played in those
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: opportunities within the flow of games, a guy like you know,
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Dennis Gard that continues to play better as well, AGBA Smooth.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Those guys have all done a nice job. Bj Green
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: got going a little bit last week. So it'll be
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit by committee, But I have a lot
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: of faith in those guys up front. You guys, Yeah,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a ton he's getting I think he's getting more and
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: more comfortable each week, and within obviously himself and within
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the system and playing with those guys playing the style
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of football that that ultimately would like to be able
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to play and making making some plays. I mean his
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: energy and all that we've all been appreciative of of.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: But he's also made some plays for us, and you.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: Know, I think the guys really like him most likely
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: trade two days.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: You know, we're gonna go right down to the wire
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: We will, you know.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's just as much as he can, you know,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: keep getting the swell and all that stuff. It's just
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: a matter of that. So I trust that if he's
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: if he says he can go, then you know, we'll go.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Really good for us.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: So far as you're how you playing for a guy
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: at Chris.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: Jones, Yeah, you've really got to be cognizant of him
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: with the slide first and foremost, and then you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: helping each other out right, like if you have no
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: nobody to block him your moment. Let's maybe take a
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: look at where ninety five is tight ends running backs.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: Everybody has to be involved and not that the quarterback
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: needs to think about that. That's more so just the
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: way we try to get the ball spit. It's a
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: little different with the way that they play on the
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: back end is very sticky, like there's not a hitch
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: on the field to throw, there's no free access, there's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: no get out of jail man. Let me just go
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: get a completion, take a deep breath, and throw a omaha.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: That those don't exist on the field. So we've got
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to be great with our DTA decision timing, accuracy, receivers,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: getting off press. That also helps impact and effect ninety five.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Always important, But is it more important in the game
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: like this. Maybe Jesus off that's off the field too.
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: They want every opportunity they can get to get a possession, right,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: especially end a half. You really look at how aggressive
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: they are using time outs and trying to get the
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: ball back to their offense, regardless of how much time's left.
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: So definitely want to be able to control it if
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we can, that's the goal. More ops we can have offensively,
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to keep the ground game going, to keep the balance going.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: That will definitely help us out in a game.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Like this, doing a good job walking a lot, or
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: taking shots whether they're and then checking down when they
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: or not, or there's some shots that he's missed, and
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: then you know you want to take more.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's that fine line of making sure that we're
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: being obviously smart with the football, but you know, taking
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: advantage of some of the ops down the field that
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: maybe we've you know, we've missed right now, and that's
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: just seeing some of the concepts and being a little
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: bit more aggressive with some of the mentality, which I
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: think he's done a nice job of taking the underneath
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: and we've converted a lot. Now it's like, okay, let's
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: go take some of those opportunities. Let's let our guys
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: go make, you know, potentially make some plays down the field,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: especially because we're gonna have to beat them. Like I said,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: there's no hitches, so there's very little that can exist
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: outside the numbers within five yards, so it's got you.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: We got to get it in the holes back here
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: the middle and a little bit further down the field.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: They do play a lot of too high cover two.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: So but they mix it with man so you can
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: get some runaways and try to push the ball a
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: little bit more towards that twenty twenty five thirty yard range.
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: We're going to need to do that to be able
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to say like our guys can go by you. You
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: you have to be threatened by this and not just
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: load up and say everything is going to be caught
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: twenty yards within.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: So yeah, big week for that.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Well question, but you're you're not a quarterback arm band guy.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: No, I mean we talked to them about it, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: we've we've asked him if he's wanted to use it,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: and he doesn't want to use it right now. He
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: just feels like it's helping him, even though there's been
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: some issues with motion personnel. Whatever it is, it's a
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: process and we have to clean that process up as coaches.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: For sure.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: The players have an accountability to it, but it's on
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: us as coaches to make sure we're not putting too
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: much on their plate. And he feels like when he
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: hears it, he starts to visualize it better than hearing
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: wristband fifteen. You have no idea what that play is,
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: and the first time you're starting to visualize it is
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: when you're reading it off the wristband of the players.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: So now you're going, all.
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Right, is hemota south right, close deft shore seventeen tiffins
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: or can't sixteen six? And then you got to go
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: break the huddle and process that as opposed to hearing
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: it while he's outside the huddle. Now he can start
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: to visualize it. He says it one more time, he's
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: then again visualizing what he has to do. That's kind
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: of been the process, and hopefully we can clean a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: lot of that up because that has been something we
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: struggled with.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: And no, no, not against at all.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: I did it all at Kentucky. That was how we
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: called plays. It was all off ristpan, So I'm not
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: against it by any means. Yeah, it's that's been more
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: of a collaboration decision between all of us. A couple
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: of weeks played about as physical as we've seen around
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: here in a while. Is there another level to that
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: for you guys, or do you think it's more about
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: sustaining the way you played in the last couple of weeks
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: in that department.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: I think that's you know, likely to be the case.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, they are playing very violent, like the strain
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and finish is not really something we're pointing out on
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: our film on a weekly basis.
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: That isn't showing up right.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: We don't have a ton of guys being graded for
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: loafs on the field, So it's this part that we
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: need to continue to take the next step. And I'm
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: not saying we can take a dip in terms of
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: the way that we play the game the violence to finish,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: the strain, but I think you clean up some of
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: the pre snap stuff, you clean up some of the
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: communication in all three phases, and now we can just
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: go and not hurt ourselves and try to really go
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: focus on beating the opponent with that violence, physicality, toughness,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: strain and finish that we've been playing with.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: He's kind of in a new role on the older
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: guy's U room.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Have you kind of seen him embrace just setting him
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: as a leader, then, yeah, I think it was.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: It was obviously missing missed having him this past weekend,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: but I thought he was great on the sidelines with
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: the guys, communicating what was being seen out there, talking.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Them through it. You know.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously when we did hit some negative stretches there, I
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: know he was on the sidelines with those guys, trying
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: to just be as present as he could be. You know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: Deanmi has in so many ways I think impacted the
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: room where you know he's he's always been since we
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: got here at six am. Get in do his weights, rehab,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: prehab treatment, like he's you know, all last week getting
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: ready to go play with that shoulder. I mean, Ferg
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: was saying he did everything in his power.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: He wanted to.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Play it so so badly, he did everything he lived here.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: So that's a great thing for those guys to be
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: able to continue to feed off each other with.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: So, yeah, he's been great. A lot of this guy
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: kind of played with a chip on the shoulder. Feels
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: like that. It's kind of the mentality that seems taking
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: off group. Everybody on throw the helots for the game
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: like this, You're going against the Chiefs Sunday night football.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: A lot of people outside of Jacksonville probably don lean
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: that way. Yeah, yeah, I think that's definitely become a
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: little bit part of of who we are.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Look to gain and earn respect. You have to go
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: take it and we can do.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: You know, there's just not much you can say besides
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: your tape being your resume and you know, earning respect
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: obviously in the way that we play, in the style
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: in which we want to play the game with. But
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: all you know, win winning, right, winning going and taking
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: wins is also really important. So you know, I think
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: that these guys are are confident but also understand that
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: you know we have a great opponent coming in, but
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: this is truly about us. Let's go take the next
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: step as a team and see what happens.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Coach, thank you great
