Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: You know, it's always good to get a winning the NFL.
- 0:02Speaker 1: I mean, it's tough, it's any even Sunday. We just
- 0:05Speaker 1: had a good mindset this week. I felt like it
- 0:07Speaker 1: was a great week of preparation and it was good
- 0:09Speaker 1: to just get that win.
- 0:11Speaker 2: A touchdown pass. You caught a bullet up in the
- 0:13Speaker 2: back of the end zone. It's raining out. What was
- 0:16Speaker 2: kind of going through your head to go and get
- 0:18Speaker 2: that ball? And how'd you come down?
- 0:19Speaker 1: So it was my first time ever wearing like rain gloves,
- 0:22Speaker 1: so I was a little nervous already, and then but
- 0:25Speaker 1: I felt like the football stuck to my hands there,
- 0:28Speaker 1: so I was like, that.
- 0:28Speaker 2: Was pretty cool. But it was just cool to be able.
- 0:30Speaker 1: To make a play for the team and a good moment,
- 0:34Speaker 1: and it was exciting to be able to help win there.
- 0:36Speaker 3: I'm trying to remember vote did you have a similar
- 0:38Speaker 3: one last year?
- 0:39Speaker 2: Right about that change.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Spot, I'm starting to like that area in the end
- 0:43Speaker 1: zone and that side of the stadium. Saw it's a
- 0:45Speaker 1: special I guess that's a special place for me now,
- 0:48Speaker 1: just writing that little area by the gold posts. But
- 0:51Speaker 1: it was cool to make that play and it was exciting,
- 0:53Speaker 1: you know, tough catch, but like in my book, you
- 0:56Speaker 1: got to make everything in the touch hands.
- 0:58Speaker 3: Did you feel like you get your feet into you
- 0:59Speaker 3: know that way?
- 1:00Speaker 2: And I know I wasn't.
- 1:01Speaker 1: I was trying to look at the real it kind
- 1:03Speaker 1: of it kind of messed up my vibe of how
- 1:04Speaker 1: I wanted to celebrate, but it was all good.
- 1:07Speaker 4: What does it mean to you? Guys?
- 1:08Speaker 3: Should do some of the things you hadn't been doing
- 1:10Speaker 3: well a little bit better, like third down conversions meant
- 1:14Speaker 3: you're really good. At one time you were seven of
- 1:15Speaker 3: eleven some short yarded situations finishing off drives. I mean,
- 1:19Speaker 3: does that mean something? To do it better than you
- 1:21Speaker 3: had been doing, no doubt.
- 1:22Speaker 1: I mean we talk about that all week, you know,
- 1:24Speaker 1: and just trying. We need to get better. We need
- 1:26Speaker 1: to find some ways to convert and I can't y'all
- 1:31Speaker 1: lost my word right there, but find a way to
- 1:33Speaker 1: be able to make that happen and own those situations.
- 1:36Speaker 1: So that's what it's all about and being able to
- 1:38Speaker 1: execute it and then get a win. And the fashion
- 1:39Speaker 1: we did day was pretty cool.
- 1:41Speaker 3: I would Refreshtart year with what Brian's been able to do,
- 1:44Speaker 3: especially in these last few weeks.
- 1:45Speaker 1: He's special.
- 1:46Speaker 2: I mean, burst round receiver.
- 1:48Speaker 1: I mean you expect big things and he's owning it
- 1:50Speaker 1: and he's doing a great job. It's been exciting to
- 1:52Speaker 1: see him grow. I'm very grateful to be his teammate.
- 1:54Speaker 1: It's been fun this whole season. I'm excited to keep
- 1:58Speaker 1: keep seeing what he's gonna do.
- 2:00Speaker 4: Mac.
- 2:01Speaker 3: How you guys kind of developed here with Mac knowing
- 2:03Speaker 3: that he's the guy the last five or six weeks
- 2:06Speaker 3: and and uh, what do you think it meant to
- 2:07Speaker 3: him to get a win here in Jacksonville?
- 2:09Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's what comes with being great, a
- 2:12Speaker 1: great teammate. You know, we have his back no matter what.
- 2:14Speaker 1: Whoever that quarterback, we got him at his back and
- 2:17Speaker 1: we've just all owned that. And you know, we came
- 2:19Speaker 1: up short a few times, but just being able to
- 2:22Speaker 1: step step in the right direction this week get a win,
- 2:24Speaker 1: it's been special. Like I said, it's just been great.
- 2:27Speaker 1: I texted him after last week and I was like,
- 2:29Speaker 1: I got your back, no matter what. So that's what
- 2:31Speaker 1: it's all about. And he's just been owning that and
- 2:34Speaker 1: just been taking one step at a time.
- 2:35Speaker 2: He's been really good. Somebody does that TLAs out the season.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And the one more a week get a win, go
- 2:41Speaker 1: want to know? So feel like everybody feel that way.
- 2:44Speaker 1: I mean, you wanna go out the right way no
- 2:46Speaker 1: matter what.
- 2:46Speaker 2: And I'm excited.
- 2:48Speaker 1: You know, it's another opportunity. You know, it's it's tough
- 2:50Speaker 1: to come by to get an opportunity in the NFL.
- 2:52Speaker 2: So just gonna own that. And you know, I'm sound.
- 2:55Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure all the guys feel the same way.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Is it better? Sweet?
- 2:57Speaker 1: Because you know that this is the last one. It's tough,
- 3:01Speaker 1: and especially like for me, I mean for a year
- 3:04Speaker 1: or two, it's almost over. I mean, so, I mean
- 3:07Speaker 1: I just have to own these moments, embrace the opportunity
- 3:10Speaker 1: and continue to grow. And like I said, it goes
- 3:12Speaker 1: by fast. Like even though I'm young, I wanna tell
- 3:15Speaker 1: of my career, I can't. There's no nothing past the NFL.
- 3:17Speaker 1: So I just want to embrace every moment and just
- 3:20Speaker 1: have some fun pork.
- 3:21Speaker 3: You guys have said all the right things, but how
- 3:23Speaker 3: hard is it to really at this time of year
- 3:26Speaker 3: when you don't have everything to play for, come out,
- 3:29Speaker 3: stay focused in meetings, give it all you got and
- 3:33Speaker 3: fight the way you guys have have kind of battled here.
- 3:35Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like everybody knows this. This shows
- 3:37Speaker 1: true character, who you are as a man, and how
- 3:40Speaker 1: you're gonna approach even when the circumstance doesn't say playoffs
- 3:43Speaker 1: and just something to play for. But we have everything
- 3:45Speaker 1: to play for in my book. You know, it's another opportunity.
- 3:48Speaker 1: I mean, I know so many people dying just to
- 3:50Speaker 1: have an opportunity to play. So it's just my own that.
- 3:54Speaker 1: And I feel like all the guys been on that
- 3:55Speaker 1: and it's been great. And even with this win, nobody's down, nobody,
- 3:59Speaker 1: we're excited.
- 4:00Speaker 4: It was.
- 4:00Speaker 1: It was real special and like I said, you just
- 4:02Speaker 1: have to own it. Like I say, it's gonna test
- 4:04Speaker 1: your character.
- 4:04Speaker 2: MANFLT.
- 4:05Speaker 5: Good to be in the last you know, last we've
- 4:09Speaker 5: kind of finished it, like if we finished the last game.
- 4:10Speaker 5: So but we can obviously put there, put the you know,
- 4:13Speaker 5: put the last couple of seconds on our back. Man.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Uh, it feels great. It feels great.
- 4:18Speaker 3: Got a lot. You've been around here a while. You
- 4:20Speaker 3: know what the Titans are to the band base to
- 4:22Speaker 3: you guys. Have to sweep the Titans have some impact.
- 4:25Speaker 5: Sure, I mean any divisional game to sweeping in the
- 4:28Speaker 5: divisional game. Man, it's it's huge, specially for the conference.
- 4:31Speaker 5: Obviously a whole as a season hasn't been where we
- 4:34Speaker 5: wanted it to be. But but we can dominate our division.
- 4:37Speaker 5: We got one more divisional game. I think right now
- 4:40Speaker 5: we will be three and two in the division. We
- 4:42Speaker 5: win that game, we four and two in our division,
- 4:45Speaker 5: you know, so we can hold our high knowing that
- 4:47Speaker 5: you know, we keep handling our business and division that
- 4:50Speaker 5: you know, we get outside of the conference.
- 4:52Speaker 2: Outside of sorry that, Uh, we're gonna be in a
- 4:55Speaker 2: good space.
- 4:56Speaker 3: How dominant were you on that series?
- 4:59Speaker 4: Uh?
- 5:00Speaker 5: I mean, I just hit that groove, man, I kind
- 5:02Speaker 5: of I felt like I kind of knew what to
- 5:04Speaker 5: expect in those situation, in those plays coming up. The
- 5:07Speaker 5: communication was great for you. I had my mindset on
- 5:10Speaker 5: the first play that they were gonna do that. Then
- 5:12Speaker 5: Foyier confirming that only just gave me the Q to just, hey,
- 5:16Speaker 5: go make a play. And then that second one, man,
- 5:19Speaker 5: that was just I mean, I feel like I was
- 5:20Speaker 5: beating them like that all game.
- 5:23Speaker 2: You know.
- 5:23Speaker 5: Quarterback Dbs did a hell of a job in the
- 5:25Speaker 5: back end holding their coverages, so that allowed me to
- 5:28Speaker 5: sneak in there. And you know, get the sack and
- 5:29Speaker 5: then that third one Eric called a great game that
- 5:32Speaker 5: allowed one of us to be on the movement to
- 5:34Speaker 5: see what was happening. So it just put in you know,
- 5:37Speaker 5: just put ourselves in good positions to make plays.
- 5:39Speaker 2: And you know, can't wait to do that again next week.
- 5:44Speaker 3: What's the what's it mean to that you guys keep
- 5:49Speaker 3: playing and playing hard and and not harder to do
- 5:53Speaker 3: than kind of the way you guys make it sounds sometimes.
- 5:58Speaker 5: I mean I hope not. You know, you go out
- 6:01Speaker 5: there to play to win every game. Obviously, I feel
- 6:05Speaker 5: like we had to lead all games, so that gives
- 6:07Speaker 5: us a little bit more boost and a little bit
- 6:08Speaker 5: more confidence that you know, if we do what we
- 6:11Speaker 5: do defensively, we could have did.
- 6:12Speaker 2: A better job. I'm stopping a run.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Uh you know, I think they had a little I
- 6:16Speaker 5: think they had a lot of leaky yardage you know
- 6:18Speaker 5: after contact, so we could just hone in on those obviously.
- 6:21Speaker 4: Next week.
- 6:22Speaker 2: Good you know, good offense. Running game has been picking
- 6:25Speaker 2: up over the air, but a good back.
- 6:27Speaker 5: So you know, our challenges are still still the table,
- 6:30Speaker 5: but offense keep putt up points on the board and
- 6:32Speaker 5: we play with the lead.
- 6:33Speaker 2: Man, I think we can we can make a little run,
- 6:36Speaker 2: I guess to and oh run is the sad record
- 6:40Speaker 2: within reach? With one game left?
- 6:42Speaker 1: What are you gonna tell your wife you had two
- 6:45Speaker 1: two and a half.
- 6:47Speaker 5: I've missed too, I missed I have one and then
- 6:51Speaker 5: but I'm glad we didn't let him escape.
- 6:53Speaker 2: You know, I'm glad Trade got him.
- 6:55Speaker 5: You know, that would have been that would have sucked
- 6:56Speaker 5: if I would have got him, and then he releasing
- 6:59Speaker 5: it for thirteen yards. So I'm glad that didn't happen.
- 7:05Speaker 5: But you know, again, I'm excited about the win. I
- 7:07Speaker 5: think first of all, most of man, I think that's
- 7:08Speaker 5: what it's all about, putting my team in a position
- 7:11Speaker 5: to be successful.
- 7:12Speaker 2: And I'm ready to do again next week.
- 7:14Speaker 1: Dewey talked about now he since he's coming back, he's
- 7:17Speaker 1: tried to be a vocal leader. Now that he is
- 7:19Speaker 1: back in the rotation on defense, can you feel his
- 7:21Speaker 1: presence out there?
- 7:22Speaker 4: Uh?
- 7:22Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
- 7:24Speaker 5: I feel like he's always he's always Obviously he didn't
- 7:26Speaker 5: start previously this week or play, but I feel like
- 7:31Speaker 5: he's always had that presence about him, and so just
- 7:35Speaker 5: to have him out there is good.
- 7:38Speaker 2: You know, love Dewey.
- 7:39Speaker 5: Excited to see him play again, and I know he's
- 7:42Speaker 5: gonna continue to keep making plays.
- 7:43Speaker 2: Should have had that suck, so I gotta get on.
- 7:45Speaker 4: Him about them. But we y'all, good do.
- 7:47Speaker 2: You think of Jones? What do you think of Giant
- 7:50Speaker 2: jee Rocky season? It ain't over yet, but so far
- 7:54Speaker 2: so good? Again, so far, so good.
- 7:58Speaker 5: We've got one more asks me that next week and
- 8:01Speaker 5: wanted a better answer.
- 8:03Speaker 6: Yeah, it's kind of crazy. I feel like it flew
- 8:05Speaker 6: by a little bit, but I'm just grateful that we
- 8:07Speaker 6: were able to get a dove on the last.
- 8:09Speaker 4: One, close it out in such record fashion.
- 8:13Speaker 1: I mean, I know you don't really care much about the.
- 8:15Speaker 3: Athletes, but still, like, is that pretty remarkable to think about?
- 8:20Speaker 5: Uh?
- 8:20Speaker 6: Yeah, for sure, I wouldn't say I don't care about him. Uh,
- 8:23Speaker 6: but yeah, it's definitely. It's definitely a great feeling to
- 8:25Speaker 6: be able to do some of the things that I did.
- 8:28Speaker 6: I mean, I don't even know all of them, but
- 8:29Speaker 6: some of them that I've heard, it's a great, great
- 8:32Speaker 6: accomplishment for me.
- 8:33Speaker 2: Right, what's your name?
- 8:34Speaker 4: Of the record books?
- 8:34Speaker 3: With Randy Moss today only on the rookie to have
- 8:37Speaker 3: sixty plus yards and a touchdown in eight games this year.
- 8:41Speaker 3: What does that mean to you when you hear the
- 8:42Speaker 3: name of Randy.
- 8:43Speaker 6: Moss, That's a great accomplishment. Just to be in the
- 8:45Speaker 6: same conversation as Randy Moss. It's one of the all
- 8:47Speaker 6: time greats. So just to be in that same conversation,
- 8:51Speaker 6: I'm just I'm just grateful.
- 8:52Speaker 3: I think would like to be in the rhythm you're
- 8:54Speaker 3: in right now. You're getting a bunch of touches. I mean,
- 8:57Speaker 3: is there something to be said about that? Not just
- 8:59Speaker 3: on the Sunday, really the last five or six weeks.
- 9:02Speaker 6: Just coming out working hard each and every day, just
- 9:05Speaker 6: my work paying off, just going out going out there,
- 9:07Speaker 6: being able to practice, being able to translate to the field,
- 9:10Speaker 6: just being continued to go out there and try to
- 9:12Speaker 6: be my best, do my best.
- 9:14Speaker 7: Brian, what does it say about the culture of this
- 9:18Speaker 7: locker room that you guys have continued to play hard
- 9:21Speaker 7: when literally nothing, almost nothing has gone your way these
- 9:25Speaker 7: past few months.
- 9:26Speaker 6: I mean, we don't continue to play hard. That's that's
- 9:28Speaker 6: how every guy's wired in.
- 9:29Speaker 4: This locker room.
- 9:31Speaker 6: Even though I mean some things haven't gone out here
- 9:33Speaker 6: this season, we will still continue to fight and continue
- 9:36Speaker 6: to play hard.
- 9:37Speaker 7: Would you like to see this leadership come back in
- 9:40Speaker 7: twenty twenty five? Would you like to see this leadership,
- 9:44Speaker 7: this coaching staff come back in twenty twenty five.
- 9:47Speaker 2: I mean, that's not my decision.
- 9:48Speaker 4: I I don't got to do any pay.
- 9:50Speaker 3: But what do you think this means to Mac to
- 9:53Speaker 3: get a win here in Jacksonville, in his hometown?
- 9:56Speaker 6: Yeah, I know, it's a great feeling for Mac. I mean,
- 9:58Speaker 6: to be able to get a way home games. Uh,
- 10:01Speaker 6: it's a great, great feeling for him, an amazing feeling.
- 10:04Speaker 3: What's your relationship been like We've heard, We've heard you're
- 10:06Speaker 3: you're okay with his dad joke sometimes and things like that.
- 10:10Speaker 3: I mean, how's that relationship been this last month and
- 10:12Speaker 3: a half, especially since he's been playing.
- 10:14Speaker 2: I say, me and Mac relationship.
- 10:16Speaker 6: Is going a lot.
- 10:16Speaker 4: Uh Yeah, I'm I'm cool.
- 10:18Speaker 2: With his days. She's a pretty funny dude.
- 10:20Speaker 8: Uh.
- 10:20Speaker 2: I mean, ma'am got got a lot closer.
- 10:23Speaker 8: Uh.
- 10:23Speaker 2: Just mind him being out there playing and stuff.
- 10:25Speaker 8: Huh.
- 10:25Speaker 4: I mean we got a great relationship.
- 10:26Speaker 2: He's gonna continue to build.
- 10:29Speaker 3: What it's the importance for you to finish this season
- 10:31Speaker 3: as good as it's been with another big one next week.
- 10:34Speaker 6: Uh, it means everything to me. Just finished the season
- 10:37Speaker 6: off strong and have more minium going into next season.
- 10:39Speaker 6: Uh So I would say it means a lot to me.
- 10:42Speaker 3: Think you stamped your uh take it to the Pro Bowl?
- 10:46Speaker 2: No, I hope so I don't, don't. I hope so
- 10:49Speaker 2: for sure?
- 10:50Speaker 4: Alright, thanks, Uh, I mean it. It feels good to
- 10:53Speaker 4: get a win.
- 10:54Speaker 8: We know they don't like us in the that's a
- 10:56Speaker 8: that's an indivision, so we always want to come out
- 10:58Speaker 8: of that with a up.
- 11:00Speaker 3: How do you feel just about the defensive performance today?
- 11:03Speaker 4: I feel like we did a pretty good job.
- 11:04Speaker 8: Like it's always going to be a few players that
- 11:06Speaker 8: we could have did better on here and that, but overall,
- 11:09Speaker 8: I feel like we all played together from a special
- 11:10Speaker 8: team standpoint, offense and defense.
- 11:13Speaker 4: You like being on the field to win.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Both games against the Titans in the last month have
- 11:17Speaker 3: come down to that.
- 11:18Speaker 8: Anytime it comes down to the last player of the game,
- 11:20Speaker 8: I'd rather afford to be in our hands. I mean
- 11:22Speaker 8: not to say the offense can't do it, because they
- 11:24Speaker 8: truly can. It's just how I'd rather afford to be
- 11:26Speaker 8: in my hands than anybody else has.
- 11:28Speaker 4: Or the defense hands.
- 11:31Speaker 2: Wide man being ten.
- 11:33Speaker 4: Uh, it's a great feeling.
- 11:36Speaker 8: It really means a lot, to be honest, Mark my
- 11:38Speaker 8: name is something in Jaguar history. It really means a
- 11:40Speaker 8: lot of it. Just the beginning though. I gotta keep going,
- 11:43Speaker 8: keep chipping away here.
- 11:44Speaker 4: That's it. How much does it show.
- 11:47Speaker 3: With what these games still mean, that that you guys
- 11:50Speaker 3: are playing the way you're playing at this time of
- 11:53Speaker 3: year with with not a lot on the line.
- 11:55Speaker 8: It just goes to show you that the guys in
- 11:56Speaker 8: this locker room we played. We played this game in
- 11:58Speaker 8: football for the right reasons, obviously, because we loved the
- 12:00Speaker 8: game of football, and then we love playing for each other.
- 12:03Speaker 8: We don't go to work every day just to come
- 12:05Speaker 8: out on Sundays and have fast things we can calm
- 12:08Speaker 8: to win, you know.
- 12:08Speaker 4: That's what we're doing.
- 12:09Speaker 8: We just staying together as a collective unit and continuously
- 12:12Speaker 8: going no matter no matter the circumstances.
- 12:14Speaker 3: I know there's a lot you guys have to turn around,
- 12:16Speaker 3: but one of the things is winning at home. So
- 12:17Speaker 3: doesn't feel good to get one in Jackson.
- 12:19Speaker 8: The most definitely last one at home, or we're just
- 12:21Speaker 8: trying to continuously keep building this momentum to the finish
- 12:24Speaker 8: this season, and obviously continuously building in the years, come
- 12:27Speaker 8: next year, and just continuously build.
- 12:29Speaker 2: Can you believe that the home slade is complete?
- 12:31Speaker 4: Man? This season is definitely went by fast.
- 12:33Speaker 8: But uh, you know that's what that's what that goes
- 12:35Speaker 8: part of the cherishing every moment. It just can't take
- 12:38Speaker 8: anything for granted, even the few home games that we
- 12:41Speaker 8: did have. We just have to always cherish those moments.
- 12:44Speaker 3: I'm dominant with Josh on that one series.
- 12:48Speaker 8: Man, After the first play, I went up to him, like, man,
- 12:51Speaker 8: you're balling. Second play came back, We talked, were talking
- 12:54Speaker 8: big cash money, and then he came back to sack
- 12:56Speaker 8: he got. He got the sack, second player and came
- 12:58Speaker 8: back made another play on that third down. Uh, it
- 13:00Speaker 8: was it was exciting to see for me. Uh, that
- 13:03Speaker 8: was just Josh. He tapped into that mindset. When he
- 13:05Speaker 8: was talking to himself on the sideline, I could just
- 13:07Speaker 8: tell he was tapping back into that mindset he finished
- 13:09Speaker 8: the season with last year.
- 13:10Speaker 4: Uh. Just hungry.
- 13:11Speaker 8: He's he's wanted to finish and put the defense on
- 13:13Speaker 8: his back, and that's what he did.
- 13:14Speaker 2: Right after you guess he.
