  Speaker 1: Doug. Obviously, DeVante Adams is an incredibly talented player, but
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: why do you think he was able from what you
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: were able to see, to have such a big second
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: half for them and in a win.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: He's a great receiver. I mean, you know, Aaron's a
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: great quarterback. You know, he's a Hall of Fame quarterback.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: So they made they made plays that that we didn't make,
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: and and that that part's unfortunate, you know, And and
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: you know, I thought we did some good things, but
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: just again it comes down to just a couple of
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: plays that you know, your your season or your game
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: or whatever could be a little bit different, but you know,
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: give credit. I mean, those are two good players.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: It Doug, it seemed like it seemed like Mac. It
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was a pretty pretty solid game in terms of being comfortable.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: What did you see from him and where could he improve?
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: I guess I thought Mac Mac played, uh, played played good.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: You know, he played played well. I thought the offensive
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: line protected well today. Again, did some good things. You know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: BT had a heck of a game, you know, So
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: you know, I just think we we just gotta keep
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: learning and can keep growing as a team and and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: keep working. And you know, Mac gets more comfortable with
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: with the things we're doing and what what he he likes,
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: and you know, it just uh played he played, He
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: played tough, he played physical, He did some scrambles in there,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: you know. So it was a good performance, good.
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: Performance, Doug. Doug on the on the interception, did you
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: think that that Mac was gonna was going to Brian
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: because he was also lined up on the left side
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: with Parker and he got to open a little curl
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: route over the middle, but he Mac chose to go
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: the other way and he just overthrew Parker.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was just I just think he sailed the
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: ball a little bit too high, you know, but look,
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: it's it's trying to make a play obviously, you know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I have to take a look at the film and
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: and and make a determination on on on the route comedy.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: It was a you know, it was a double move
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: route combination. So catching them in there in there, you
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: know too high show defense and and just just felt
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: like just a little bit overthrown.
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: Were you surprised they didn't take a knee there at
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: the one yard line? And of course you guys do
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: u your time outs and and do that, and did
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: you guys let them score intentionally at the end, Yes,
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: did you surprise that they didn't? Just yes?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: The coaching one, yeah, I mean, you know, it's a
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: different philosophy, but obviously you know, yeah, you can you know,
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: score the touchdown. You know, you kind of in those
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: situations you want them to score so you can save
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: time for your for our offense. Or you know, the
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: other way is you you know, you need it a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: couple of times, you know, and make me burn the
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: two time out, you know, So it's either way either way.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Coach, with so many pass catchers that you depended on
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: the start of the season being out, how nice was
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: it to see both Brian and Brenton step up and
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: have big double digit days for.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You you know what, I couldn't be more happy for
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: both those guys. You know, you know, this is a
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: great opportunity for Brenton, and he really he really rose
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: to the occasion. And you talk about a great, humble
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: kid that that plays tough places, physical and and you
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: know the type of type of player that we know
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: that he is. And then of course b t you know,
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: you just see the you know, a top receiver in
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: this league. I mean, he's a good young receiver that
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: that's going to continue to get better and and you know,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: as we get you know, as we get Trevor back,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: and you know all that kind of stuff. I mean,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: it's it's a good combination too, uh, you know, to
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: build around.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Doug.
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Do you view as Brian is sort of like one
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: of the bright spots in the season that that hasn't
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: gone obviously as well as you guys wanted, maybe the
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: brightest spot?
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: I think so. I mean, I think he's heck, he's
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: had a heck of a season for for a rookie,
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: you know, receiver, and not only here in Jacksonville, but
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: you know in the NFL, and and uh, like I said,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: I think I think there's more, you know, as he
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: continues to grow and learn and and it's you know,
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: he can get better. But I'll say this, it's just
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: a gosh, he's a he's a good, humble kid that
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that does work hard. And he has been a very
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: very big bright spot for our offense all season.
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah. Uh, he's he's probably about something like forty yards
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: shy of a thousand was still three games ago. What
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: was your anticipation for what he could deliver for you
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: when you broke out of training camp and the season started.
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: You and I mean not many rookie receivers yet a
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: thousand yards some do, but most of them.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And obviously, you know, we we had high expectations coming
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: out of camp with him, obviously Christian Gabe Evan. You know,
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: we had we had some pieces that that we continue,
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: you to to run our offense out of and and
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: and really find a niche for Brian and and really
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: see what he's capable of doing. But as the season progressed,
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you see that he can he can handle more information,
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: he can handle more responsibility, and and and each week
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: we keep you know, we keep finding ways to to
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: load him up and any any answers, and you know,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and that's what you want from from uh, you know,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: your top your top receiver. And and like I said,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: he's just been he's been such a bright spot. You know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: he's been a he's been a workhorse offensively. Uh, someone
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: obviously there's a lot of people we we depend on
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: and count on, but he he's for a young player,
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he's someone that you can you know, dial the ball
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: up and and and you know, chances are he's gonna
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: he's gonna find a completion. So just been thoroughly impressed
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: with with Brian as the season's.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: Gone on, Doug with Brenton, he had eleven catches on
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on twelve targets, so highly efficient. What what do you
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: like about his route running and his hands and and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: the skills he has as a pass catcher.
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I think he's you know, he's he's bigger,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: he's physical. Obviously, he runs, you know, he probably runs
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: better than people think, really good disciplined route runner. It's
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: just and plus he's learning from he's learning from Evan too.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: He's he's got a he's got a good mentor there
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: to to to learn from. And and you know, again
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's what Brenton does during the week and
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: how he attacks the week and what he what he
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: works on, he continues to work on, you know, his
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: weaknesses which enhances his strengths. And and again he's been
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: he's been a bright spot for us, a good young
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: player and and excited for him.
