  Speaker 1: Bush comes to shove and somebody got the ball in
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: their hands, you just try to get him down. I
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: know he's big, I know he's fast, explosive. You know.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: It's kind of that mentality like soon as somebody gets
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: the ball in their hands, you gotta tackle him. So
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: I'm sure I've tackling people bigger than me before.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: I have a tackling plan. What's a tackling planing? You
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: tail for the guy like that can take.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Off runner anymore.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: Make sure we have eyes on him. We know that,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: you know, so far from preseason, seems like he likes
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: to get out and run, you know, especially when he
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: plays break down. So make sure we have eyes on him.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: And when he breaks the pocket, be able to keep
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: running our feet through contact as if he's a runner.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: You know a lot of times people might give up
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: on a play early for the running quarterback, but you know,
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: stay on your feet when he pump fakes if he does,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: you know, be able to break down his stiff arm
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: when he when he escapes the pocket. Really treat him
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: like a runner. When he's running outside the poet with
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: the ball in his hands.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: On the stefense, everybody's back play colors back where is
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: the group better?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: It just ex what to expect out of specific calls
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: that we have, being able to play off each other,
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: and already knowing where my boy is, you know, even
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: if I might be dropping this way, you know my
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: help might be to my left or something. Just knowing
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: where all the pieces fit on the field. I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: it's going to be huge. And then you know, hurry up.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Obviously being able to communicate with each each other on
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: the field, already knowing what to expect from each other
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: out there, just being able to play faster when we
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: see a look what's the I.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Guess chess match, Like when you're going against a rookie quarterback.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: A lot of people talk about defenses being able to
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: kind of take advantage of that. Do you look at
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: it that way where you've got a guy who's still
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: learning I guess the NFL game.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: I'm sure as the game goes on, or you know,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: as a coach is scout him, we'll kind of try
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to see what a flaw might be. A lot of
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: times you get a rookie guy he's confusion with looks
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: maybe bring some pressure from opposite where it looks like
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: it's coming. See if you can pick up on that
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: obviously as great talent running the ball as well, you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a strong arm as well. So we'll see how to
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: combat that is the game goes on or going into
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: the game, but we got to see, you know, kind
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: of through film study, kind of through experience as the
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: game goes you know what we can attack them with.
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: You let the league and tackles back to back years.
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: You're trying to repeat that.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to win as many games as possible. You know,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: if the ball leaks out or if I'm in my
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: gap and stuff, you know, I make those tackles and
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I want to make more. Obviously, I want to not
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: miss tackles. I want to make plays in the ball.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I want to just win games, do whatever it takes
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: to to win games. And you know, if God lets
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: me be around the ball for tackles, that's how that goes.
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: But having a goal to lead the league in tackles,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: it's really just effort, just getting to the ball as
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: much as possible when when when it's required, you guys
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: knew you were.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Obviously you'll put up against the Colts. So when they
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: were on TV in the preseason that you watch any
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: of those games when you just do.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: You have more film stuff. I kind of don't watch
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: because announcers like to make things up and uh uh
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: fill in with for for for noise. You know, they
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have to keep talking as the game goes on. Sometimes
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they'll talk about stuff that does not really go on,
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: you know, but sometimes they give them credit they do
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: know what they're talking about. But a lot of times noise.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: So I like to just watch, you know, my film study, Uh,
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: you know, the calls kind of formations really break down
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: NFL film. If I'm trying to watch football for enjoyment,
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: I'll probably watch a college game or something something I
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: can just you know, not tendencies don't really match college
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: to pro.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: So watching his Florida film help in any way, or though.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I mean, they they're breaking down some's
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Florida film. I I usual, I watched them a couple
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: of games back back in the day. But uh, I've
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: watched a lot of his his preseason stuff. Uh, a
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: couple of games that he did play. And then obviously
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: that coordinator came from Philly, so watch a lot of
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Philly film.
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: Did you watch any college games this week? Any good ones?
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Did not play this week. Now, I watched some
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: I watched you know, all the all the big all
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: the big ones kind of flip through the channels.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: I like to just you know, watch to watch. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: don't have anybody to pull forward for real, So I'm
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: miss a hater to everybody in the locker room. I
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: just go go there and make sure I I I
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: talk about how their team law was about to lose
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: or something, just kind of stir the pot in the
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: locker room.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I guess the last year, turnovers were a calling card,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: and you guys have been saying, think turnovers, how do
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: you make sure I guess last year they were flowing
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: at one point, kind of dried up and then you
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: got it back going again. How do you make sure
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: that those flow to start the year?
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Kind of what you said, just think about it, understand
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: the importance to it. We already went through practices during
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: OTA's during preseason. We're still always talking about it. Every
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: time we get a turnover practice, we showing it on
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: the board, we show it in the film room before
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: we even start off our defensive meeting, just putting that
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: importance on the ball. You know, when you take the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: ball back you give a possession to the offense, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: you know they're electric, So give our offense more possessions.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: We can win games.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Spent a lot of high expectations that have been put
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: on this team here in the preseason. I'm just curious,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: as a player, do you like do you like seeing
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: that when people perceived the Jaguars to be, you know,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: super Bowl contenders or really or do you look at
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: it as just noise and it does matter.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I was still stuck on they don't think we're top tier.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: I didn't know they gave us super Bowl contenders. So
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: I'm already fueled to to prove, you know, what we
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: can be. Yeah, I mean they they said we're a
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: super Bowl contender.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Came up this money warning quarterback column today that you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: guys should win the a f C. I appreciate that
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: the number one seed, but they the same thing. It's
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: not because they were talking about you.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: Expectations are high. Yeah, we got to.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Go out and prove it every week. I mean, it
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: all starts with the first game going going forward after that,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: we're trying to get on the roll earlier than last
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: year because we already know how it looks when it's
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: not looking right, so we're trying to do our thing
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: How difference is the confidence in the locker room field
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: this year than from maybe the start of last season?
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: Does it feel any different?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: We're definitely closer as a team, i'd say already this year.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: A lot of new faces from last year, you know
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: when I first came in, and then this year kind
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: of feels like we're already yelling together offense, talking to
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: defense and stuff like it's all cohesive in that locker
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: room right now. So just keep those positive vibes going.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: And then energy is so important throughout the year. Bringing
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: in that positive energy, you know, good mindset and just
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: going out there and you know, lend the juices flow
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: for that, like you gotta come into every game ready.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: To go one more. I'm sorry you've seen this offense
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: for the Jags first hand, trading again, how hard are
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: they to defend?
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: I like what they do. It's you know, I've seen
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: some articles saying like pick your poison out there. I'm
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: sure whatever matchup they want to exploit'll try to you know,
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: go to that and then even if that's taken, you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: if it's one on ones out there, I like our
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: guys in a lot of one on one situations, So
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: I'm excited. I loved how we ran the ball during preseason.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: I'm excited how we got play pass off of that.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And you know, everybody's fast, very fast, so uh, they're
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: gonna cause some problems out there. So I just want
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to see us extend drives and then we give the
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: ball back to as much as possible and watch them work.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah,
