Press Pass | Jones & Hainsey on Committing to Play Style, Emphasis on Practicing Strong · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

  Speaker 1: Hey, Jerry, and Liam Cohen was saying earlier this hour
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: that the plan is play three quarters yourself, Buster and
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Travis in rotation. How difficult is it to gain a
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: rhythm and stay in a rhythm when your playing time
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: fluctuates like that?
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: I don't really think it's too hard.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: I think we all go in and do two drives.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I think the longest route is probably a drive, I think.
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: And then I go play nickel, so I think that's
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: probably the longest route, a drive.
• 0:27
  Speaker 4: I know, so.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, just kind of understanding what happened on.
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: That drive that you were out. But I think we
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: all were kind of like similar with them plays. I
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: think Buster maybe played the highest, but I think it
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: was probably like five or six plays off. I think
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: me and Travis are pretty similar.
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Second one for me, a couple of your guys on
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: defense were using the word details yesterday after the game, sloppy.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: How important is it to have to return to that
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: high standard this week in practice?
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: It's really important. In the meeting today, I think Liam
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: hit on it perfectly. He was talking about the way
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: that we practice and practicing. I think sometimes, I think
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: even in the last season, we got away with some things.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Just being more physical than people and just being better
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: than people.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: I think now, we just talked about it, but we
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: went through that game, the Texans. When we played the
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: Texans last year, they came back with a 29-point lead
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: and I think that's when that was kind of like
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a turn, like, okay, we got to get better at
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the details. So it was kind of, it's not good
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: that we lost, but it was kind of good that
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: it kind of.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Happened in week two.
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: So you need a game like this to kind of,
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: you know, set you back in on the details.
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: We'll go to D-Rock, then to Justin.
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: Hey, Jaron, when they first came to you guys and
• 1:47
  Speaker 7: explained the plan of rotating series and stuff like that,
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: were you kind of skeptical that it could work or
• 1:53
  Speaker 7: skeptical how it would work?
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: Oh, not really.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I mean, we have three corners that are really good.
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: You know, so I didn't really think it would kind
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: of be much.
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: Of a problem.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: And, I mean, we all kind of play about the
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: same amount of plays, so I don't think, man, is
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: there somebody that y'all kind of don't want to play.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, we all kind of play about the same
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: amount of plays, so.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I don't really think there's somebody you can kind of
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: be like, hey, this guy should not play.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, we're all kind of, you know.
• 2:24
  Speaker 7: Is it helpful in a way, you know, when you're
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: on the sideline, you're maybe even talking through some different
• 2:29
  Speaker 7: stuff and give you a chance to kind of see
• 2:32
  Speaker 7: it differently?
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, kind of relay it to the guys.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: When you're kind of on the sideline for a drive,
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: you kind of get a different perspective of what's happening
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: in the game. So when the guys come back, the
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: corner that was not on the field, you kind of
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: relay like, hey, this is what I'm seeing from the sideline.
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: When you're in, you kind of only kind of, like
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: from corner, you only kind of see your triangle, like
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: the quarterback. If you have a two-receiver or a tap
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: and then your receiver, it's kind of hard to kind
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: of see what's happening on the other side.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: So you just kind of relay the message to the guys.
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: So it's actually pretty helpful.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: This rotation for you guys?
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Communication-wise.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Communication-wise, for sure. And keeping guys fresh.
• 3:09
  Speaker 5: Thank you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 6: We'll go to Justin and to Shipley.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: What's going on, Jarnie?
• 3:21
  Speaker 8: Speaking with the keeping guys fresh, one of their guys
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: said after the game that he could kind of tell
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: that the altitude was getting to you guys.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: Did you feel that way in the game at all? No,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I definitely didn't feel it.
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: We don't know what he said.
• 3:34
  Speaker 8: And then also kind of just you mentioned it, but
• 3:38
  Speaker 8: having that Texans game as kind of a reminder and
• 3:41
  Speaker 8: now you guys have this game, how important will it
• 3:43
  Speaker 8: be to kind of just shift your focus and make
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: sure that you don't let this happen moving forward?
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Very important.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: I think we kind of talked about it all day today.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Like it starts in practice. Like you got to practice
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: like what's going to happen in the game. So if
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: you kind of get lax, there's going to be less
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: details in the game. So I just think that it
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: was good for this to happen. Like, now we got
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: to hone in on us. Like, it's all about us.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: And if we execute and commit to our play style
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: and things we do, it's going to be hard to
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: beat us.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: So I think it was good that we kind of
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: had a wake-up call like this.
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: Thank you, man.
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: We'll go to Shipley, then to Mark.
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: Hey, Jordan.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Thanks for doing this.
• 4:23
  Speaker 6: Liam mentioned earlier that he's excited to see how you
• 4:26
  Speaker 6: guys respond.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: He's excited to see you guys get back on the
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: practice field.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: Is that kind of the theme that you felt after
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: everybody got together and talked about the game?
• 4:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Um, I mean, obviously it hurts to lose, you know,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: obviously we feel like we should have won the game.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I mean, obviously the Broncos feel like they should have won,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: but we obviously feel like we should have won the game.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: But, uh, We didn't earn the right to win, bro.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: It's the NFL.
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: We didn't earn the right to win. We left too
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: many players out there. I don't think, if you talk
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: to anybody on the team, I don't think nobody in
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: particular kind of played their best game. I think we
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: all just kind of slapped all of the players in
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: all three phases.
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: So, I mean, for me, I'm excited.
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: To see what the week of practice is going to
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: look like because I know I've got to come and
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: be my best, and I think that's what the team
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: needs for me, for me to be at my best
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: and be the player I'm capable of being.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: So, I think everyone feels the same. Appreciate your answer.
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: It looks like this is our last one. Mark Pritchard.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Hey, Jarrion.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: So Jalen Waddell obviously strung together quite the performance. What
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: would you say, from your perspective, was it about his
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: skill set that made him such a considerable matchup for
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: this secondary?
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: I think we all know what kind of player Jalen
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Waddell is, but I think they found a good way
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: to get him the ball.
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: They got him on the move.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: They kind of found explosive ways to kind of find
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: a way to get him the ball, you know, they
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: kind of kept him on the move. And obviously he's
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: an elite football player in his league. He's been an
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: elite player for a long time in his league. Now
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: you always got to account for him. I think they
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: did a good job of, you know, attacking our miscues
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: in the secondary.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: If you are posed with a similar performer with a
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: similar skill set, how do you intend on, I suppose,
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: making change or making sure that in a future matchup,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: that's the outcomes a bit different?
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Not having MAs, I don't really care who we play.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: I don't really care who lined up.
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: If we have MAs, we're going to get beat. And
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: that's what's going to happen. And we had a lot
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: of MAs, so we got beat.
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Jordan.
• 6:24
  Speaker 9: Experimentation, I don't know, really. You work on a lot
• 6:28
  Speaker 9: of different things, a lot of different concepts. You have
• 6:30
  Speaker 9: the things you know you want to work on and
• 6:31
  Speaker 9: things you want to major in in the run game.
• 6:33
  Speaker 9: But I think that's always going to be ever-changing throughout
• 6:35
  Speaker 9: the season, depending on the defense you're playing, depending on
• 6:39
  Speaker 9: maybe what you're running better as a group.
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: What's hitting more. I know they look a lot.
• 6:44
  Speaker 9: I know they'll look at the efficiencies of the runs
• 6:46
  Speaker 9: and take that into account, but it does have a
• 6:48
  Speaker 9: lot to do with how things are, how it's feeling,
• 6:51
  Speaker 9: how it's being perceived, how certain types of runs are hitting,
• 6:54
  Speaker 9: whether it's like for mid.
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: Zone or wide zone, whether you want to be in.
• 6:57
  Speaker 9: Gaps and you're pulling or more of the duo world
• 7:00
  Speaker 9: where you're not pulling as much, it can, it can
• 7:03
  Speaker 9: vary based on kind of over the course of a season,
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: how some of those runs are hitting.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: The second for me, you faced another 3-4 defense this week.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: How educational will be yesterday's film facing a similar kind
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: of front?
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's good.
• 7:19
  Speaker 9: It's always good. Predominant defense in the league. Saw it
• 7:23
  Speaker 9: all three times in training camp and all the joint practices.
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: Saw it a lot.
• 7:27
  Speaker 9: Our defense does a good bit of both, so saw
• 7:30
  Speaker 9: it a lot there too. I feel like we have
• 7:32
  Speaker 9: a ton of reps at that specific defense. We are
• 7:35
  Speaker 9: going to know where the play points are going to be,
• 7:38
  Speaker 9: the assignments we've got to.
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: Get to, then, you know, it's about executing. Thank you, Robert.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Yep.
• 7:44
  Speaker 6: We'll go to D-Rock, then to Justin.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: Hey, Robert.
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: You know, rookie left guard, new left tackle, different right guard.
• 7:56
  Speaker 7: How was the communication considering the atmosphere you guys were
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: playing in?
• 8:01
  Speaker 9: I honestly thought it was pretty solid. uh, it was a,
• 8:06
  Speaker 9: there was a loud atmosphere. Uh, we're definitely having to
• 8:08
  Speaker 9: talk a little bit and make sure we're on the
• 8:10
  Speaker 9: same page. We didn't get every call and, you know,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: that's not really acceptable, but those are, it is a
• 8:16
  Speaker 9: tough environment.
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: It's something we got to learn from.
• 8:17
  Speaker 9: It's something we got to continue to work on and
• 8:19
  Speaker 9: practice whenever we're going to be in our next away
• 8:21
  Speaker 9: game in.
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: A couple of weeks. And going forward, we have quite
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: a few coming up.
• 8:24
  Speaker 9: So it's, it's going to be a consistent thing that
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: we have to continue to work on getting the play
• 8:28
  Speaker 9: in the huddle, understanding the checks and when they're going
• 8:31
  Speaker 9: to come and then make sure we hear them and
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: are able to, uh, get to our new assignments.
• 8:37
  Speaker 7: You've got two games now of film with Emmanuel Pregnant
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: in there.
• 8:41
  Speaker 5: How's the rookie doing?
• 8:43
  Speaker 9: Iman has done a really good job. I know he's
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: working hard. He works harder than anyone I've seen, and
• 8:48
  Speaker 9: he cares so much. His preparation is very good, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 9: it's just a consistent, you know, everyone in this league
• 8:55
  Speaker 9: is going to be win-loss. Every NFL player walked into
• 8:58
  Speaker 9: their building today saying, I need to get better at this,
• 9:01
  Speaker 9: and Iman's no different. So, It's taking that tape, seeing
• 9:06
  Speaker 9: the things you did well, because no matter what happens,
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: there's always going to be things you did well and
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: remembering those, seeing the things you wish you could have
• 9:12
  Speaker 9: done better or you wish you did better, and emphasizing
• 9:15
  Speaker 9: them this week in practice. Like I said, the way
• 9:17
  Speaker 9: he approaches his work is first class, and I know
• 9:22
  Speaker 9: he's going to respond.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: After watching the film from today, better or worse, how
• 9:29
  Speaker 7: did things go, you know, offensive line wise, you know, yesterday,
• 9:34
  Speaker 7: you know, obviously in the moment, you're really kind of
• 9:36
  Speaker 7: having a hard time kind of judging everything, but after
• 9:39
  Speaker 7: watching the film, what's it look like today?
• 9:42
  Speaker 9: Um, yeah, I think after, after watching it, it's just,
• 9:46
  Speaker 9: it always is going to come down to the, that there's,
• 9:50
  Speaker 9: it's going to come down to your one-on-one matchups.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: And I think your technique and fundamentals, I think for
• 9:53
  Speaker 5: us as a group, that's, a lot of it.
• 10:00
  Speaker 9: Really, it's taking, kind of similar to what I just said,
• 10:03
  Speaker 9: it's taking those things and making note of them, understanding them,
• 10:08
  Speaker 9: understanding why it happened, maybe what you did, what you
• 10:10
  Speaker 9: could have done a little bit better, and being super
• 10:12
  Speaker 9: intentional when we come out on Wednesday and Thursday and
• 10:15
  Speaker 9: Friday of how can I work that thing? How can
• 10:17
  Speaker 9: I get the rep at that technique and fundamental? Because
• 10:20
  Speaker 9: We're going to have a game plan we're going to
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: have to learn. Like I mentioned before, it's a structure
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: we're going to be familiar with, and that's great. But
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: it's always going to come back to those matchups and
• 10:31
  Speaker 9: your fundamentals.
• 10:36
  Speaker 6: We'll go to Justin.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: What's going on, Robert?
• 10:44
  Speaker 8: I know you mentioned communication earlier, And is there a
• 10:47
  Speaker 8: way to, or you mentioned on how you guys want
• 10:50
  Speaker 8: to improve on that, but when you're in those environments,
• 10:53
  Speaker 8: is there a way to simplify those calls? Is there like, how,
• 10:57
  Speaker 8: how does that look for you guys? Like making that
• 11:00
  Speaker 8: communication better when you honestly just genuinely can't hear it?
• 11:04
  Speaker 9: Um, it's, it's a, it's about eye contact is the
• 11:08
  Speaker 9: biggest thing and turning and looking at people is simply
• 11:11
  Speaker 9: like we played in a lot of those loud games
• 11:14
  Speaker 9: and you have to be tight in the huddle. Like
• 11:16
  Speaker 9: a lot of times if we're playing at home or
• 11:17
  Speaker 9: if it's not loud, like I'll look at the defense
• 11:20
  Speaker 9: and listen to the call. But 95% of the time yesterday,
• 11:24
  Speaker 9: I'm turned around and looking at Trevor because I'm like
• 11:27
  Speaker 9: hearing it, but I'm reading his lips too to make
• 11:29
  Speaker 9: sure I know what he's saying. And then we get up. Typically,
• 11:33
  Speaker 9: I can just kind of look forward and make my calls.
• 11:35
  Speaker 9: But in environments like that, look to my right, make
• 11:39
  Speaker 9: the call. Look to my left, make the call. Make
• 11:41
  Speaker 9: sure if I'm pointing or doing anything, it's demonstrative so
• 11:43
  Speaker 9: the backs and the quarterback can see it. And then
• 11:45
  Speaker 9: when things get changed, too, I'm relying on, since if
• 11:47
  Speaker 9: I'm looking forward or my head's between my legs, I'm
• 11:49
  Speaker 9: relying on the guards to talk, and they did a
• 11:51
  Speaker 9: good job of that. And so when things change, yeah,
• 11:54
  Speaker 9: sometimes you have to turn and look at each other
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: and say it. So you need to have as much
• 12:00
  Speaker 9: time as possible. That's where it gets tough sometimes if
• 12:02
  Speaker 9: the play clock's running down and trying to get to.
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: It, and you can kind of run into some trouble there.
• 12:07
  Speaker 9: That's about getting back to the huddle, breaking the huddle,
• 12:10
  Speaker 9: getting up the line, getting set fast so that we
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: have the time to.
• 12:13
  Speaker 8: Do then how, how good is it that you guys
• 12:19
  Speaker 8: have this opportunity to just kind of flush this early
• 12:22
  Speaker 8: and get the train back on the track so soon.
• 12:24
  Speaker 8: And it's not, you know, later in the season.
• 12:28
  Speaker 6: Yeah.
• 12:28
  Speaker 9: I mean, you definitely, I mean, you always say, you know,
• 12:31
  Speaker 9: us football, December, January, you're rolling into that stretch. I mean,
• 12:34
  Speaker 9: you kind of look at week two last year, very,
• 12:36
  Speaker 9: very similar, similar thing. We lost that game as well.
• 12:40
  Speaker 9: And it's, it's a, it's just going to happen. It's,
• 12:44
  Speaker 9: You're going to work so hard every week to be prepared,
• 12:47
  Speaker 9: and you're going to work and practice on your technique,
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: and you're going to watch the film and have the
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: best plan possible to go out there and dominate to.
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Win the game.
• 12:56
  Speaker 9: And it's the NFL. You're not going to win every game.
• 12:59
  Speaker 9: And what you can take from it is, like I
• 13:02
  Speaker 9: kind of mentioned, is where can we get better? Where
• 13:04
  Speaker 9: can we improve the plan? Where can we improve individuals?
• 13:08
  Speaker 9: Where can we improve our play style and our effort
• 13:11
  Speaker 9: and our finish, those things? It's something we take a
• 13:12
  Speaker 9: lot of pride in, I think, continuously are always going
• 13:15
  Speaker 9: to be looking for those areas to improve. So week two,
• 13:19
  Speaker 9: week five, week eight, week nine, whatever it is, win
• 13:23
  Speaker 9: or loss even, you're going to come back and you're
• 13:24
  Speaker 9: still going to try to find those things out. It
• 13:27
  Speaker 9: sucks a little bit more after a loss because, like
• 13:30
  Speaker 9: I said, you put a lot of work in, you
• 13:31
  Speaker 9: put a lot of time in, and you want to
• 13:32
  Speaker 9: go make it count on Sundays. But it is the NFL,
• 13:36
  Speaker 9: and being able to, kind of like you said, flush
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: it is– Now we've got to move on to the Patriots.
• 13:42
  Speaker 9: We've got a great team coming in here that we've
• 13:43
  Speaker 9: got to prepare for, and we've got to take the
• 13:46
  Speaker 9: intensity from where it was last week and not necessarily
• 13:49
  Speaker 9: move it up, but just maybe even focus it in
• 13:51
  Speaker 9: a little, tighten it up.
• 13:54
  Speaker 5: We don't need to be anyone but.
• 13:55
  Speaker 9: Ourselves because ourselves as the Jags, as an offense, as
• 13:58
  Speaker 9: a team, defense and special teams, when we are ourselves
• 14:01
  Speaker 9: and we play our best, we are good enough to
• 14:03
  Speaker 9: be anyone.
• 14:04
  Speaker 6: In the league.
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: And then last thing for me, the broadcast said you
• 14:08
  Speaker 8: had an arm injury. Are you feeling good going into
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: next week?
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, appreciate that.
