• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The interception on the goal line there, the fact that
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: it was sort of the same mistake that he made
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: back in I guess a couple of weeks ago against
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the Texans. Do is that the most concerning part about
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: what you're seeing out of Trevor right now? You know,
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's something that obviously it is disappointing. You know,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: you're down there your first and goal after getting the
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: you know, the defensive interference call there on on on
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Marv the play before that gave us that first and goal,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: you know, and and and you just we just gotta
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: keep continue to to teach I just think that, um,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: you know, with with Trevor and and just understanding football
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: and understanding the situation and where we are and you know,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: all that stuff comes into play and you don't have
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to force things, you don't have to chase plays, you
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: don't have to try to, you know, make something that's
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: not there, and and um, you know, in reality, you've
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: got all four downs to really score the touchdown in
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: that situation. UM, And and something we can learn from.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: And we gotta continue to teach it and coach it,
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: and we gotta we just gotta you know, make sure
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: that as as a staff that that uh you know, uh,
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: Trevor understands number one and then number two, we don't
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: make the mistake again moving forward, the fact that he
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: said that the throw was there, I think he said
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: it that in the post game that the throw is there.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: He just made a bad throw. I get to play
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: with the opening made a bad throw. That the problem
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: that he thought that he could squeeze it in, well, uh,
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: you know, obviously he saw something you know that that
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: he thought was there. Um, you know, and again we
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: just gotta continue to teach it and coach it and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: um you know, listen, I'm not gonna take the aggressiveness
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: away from from Trevor. I love that part about him.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: But at the same time, we've got to be smart
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: and we just gotta understand that, you know, it's first
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and goal at the one and and there's a lot
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: of options, um, you know, available to you as an
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: offense in those situations and just knowing that we can't
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: take points off the board. And one more real quick,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: do you anticipate um losing any guys to trades to
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: today or tomorrow or or you kind of feel like
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this roster is what you're gonna have I mean, listen,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: you know, anything is possible. I you know, you know
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: we're always gonna do us best for Jacksonville. We're always
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: gonna do as best for the team. UM. If if
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: teams call, you know, you're obviously gonna listen and be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: open to what they have to say or what they're
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: what they're interested in. But UM, you know, as of
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: right now, the roster is is is what it is. UM.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I like the roster. You know, we've got to continue
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: to work and build it. But at the same time,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: if if you know teams are gonna call, then you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: obviously you're gonna take a listen, thank you, thank you.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Well we'll go to Haze and then Demetrius. Okay, I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: wanted to bring you back to to for a second.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: You guys lost five straight in but then you won
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: your final two and went on to win the Super
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: Bowl the next year. I'm curious what did you learn
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: maybe going through that that five game skid in how
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: did that make you a better coach? And and is
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: there anything that you can apply going through a similar
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: situation here with the Jaguars. Yeah, you know I think
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: about that. UM. Obviously in our in our current situation here. Um,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you know, the number one thing I think that you
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: find out is is uh, the men in the locker
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: room and you find out the type of character that
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: they have and and how how strong your culture is. Um.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: And I say that to say this, and really, the
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: the thing that you're gonna see now is you know,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: you don't want guys to start pointing fingers. You don't
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: want guys to start making excuses. You don't want guys
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: to start taking you know, practices off for you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: finding short to to do things. UM, I think now
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: is the time that we just have to continue to
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: rally around each other, support each other, pick each other up.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: You know, I I look back on the sixteen during
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: that time, and you know I didn't change as a coach.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: You know, I stayed the course. I trusted our process
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: back then, and we gotta do the same thing, you
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: know now. We just got to continue to trust each
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: other and continue to work because I know that. Obviously,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: we went on to win our last two and and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: and the sort of catapulted us into the into the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: off season. Obviously the next year won the Super Bowl.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: But you know, look, we've got nine games left our
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: season is not even half over yet, and um, you
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: know we got a lot of football ahead of us. Um,
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and you know, we just gotta take care of business
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: and and uh and keep focused on that great stuff.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: And then I was curious, just coming back from London,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: is there anything that changes for the routine this week
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: for practice or anything. Not a whole lot, um, And
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: given gave the players off today just to it get rest.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: They'll come in and get a get a lift in
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday and then and then I'll back the schedule
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: off a little bit on Wednesday. We won't go in pads,
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: you know Wednesday. Just again the severity of the the travel,
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: you know, the length of travel, the time change, all that,
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: and and just kind of keep them fresh these these
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: next couple of days. And then Thursday Friday will stay
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: the same. So not a not a big big hole,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of changes, but just enough to
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: to try to keep these guys fresh for Sunday. Cool.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: Thank the thanks you, thanks. Hey. Um, we'll go to
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: Demetrius Harvey and then we'll finish up with John Shipley
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: the Doug. I I hope you're doing well. Um. I
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: just wanted to follow up with what the Rock said
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: about the trade deadline. You said that there's players that
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: or if teams are gonna call, you're going to take
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: a Listen specifically though about Josh Allen, if he's a
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: guy that you can foresee, um except the call about
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: or taking a call about O R I P. The
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: guy you want to remain on the team. Yeah, you know, listen, Um,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I appreciate the question, but I'm not gonna get into
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: a lot of details about about the roster right now
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: and things like that. Listen, we know that that you know,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of moving parts in the NFL, and
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: everybody's you know, everybody's trying to you know, make moves,
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: especially those teams that are that are having success and
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: and all of that, and you know, and and even
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: for us, I mean, you know, uh, there there may
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: be an opportunity for us to add some talent somewhere,
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: you know, So we obviously are gonna take a look
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: at everything. And um, you know, I'm with I'm with Trent.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: You know, he and I united on on on all
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: of this and how we handle the roster and and uh,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: you know, uh really really like the guys and how
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: they're working right now, and like I said earlier, we
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: just gotta keep keep working with them, and then just
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: offensively the passing game in terms of the deep ball, Um,
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: what have you seen in that area this year? And
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: how can you guys sort of improved on that? Well,
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: you know, we've we've got to keep working there. Um.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: You know, we had an opportunity, a couple of opportunities
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: yesterday actually too shoot the ball down the field and
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: we either either you know, gave up a sack or
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: we didn't pull the trigger. And those are just things
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: that we've got to continue to work on, you know, honestly,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: And um, it's it's something that uh are we we
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: understand as a staff and and you know, our passing
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: game has to get has to get better. We gotta
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: get more out of it. That comes with starts with
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: us as coaches as we game plan and making sure
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: that our players understand that game plan and then and
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: then using the strengths of our receivers you know and
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: tight ends uh to to push the ball down the field.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: So uh, we understand that, we know that and we
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: gotta we gotta improve there. Thank you, you bet, thanks
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to And we'll wrap up here if you're doing well.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Just you know, when when it comes to a young
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: guy like Trevor, necessarily in his career, how do you
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: keep him from, you know, maybe mentally kind of shouldering
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: some of these losses and maybe getting two down on
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: his own abilities. Well, the number one thing is, you know,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: he understands, and I gotta make sure that he understands
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: that he's not you know, he doesn't have to do
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: this by himself. You know, it takes takes eleven guys
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: on offense, and you know, obviously the quarterback and I
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: think the head coach get all the all the blame
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: and all the praise and and right now, I know
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: there's there's probably a lot on on on his shoulders.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: But he he understands two and I'll make sure that
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he does that that he's not in this alone, and
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that we're going to continue to work and build. And
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of football left. There's nine games,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: and we got a great opportunity this week. Um, you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: we just gotta we just gotta continue to to build
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: these players up. You know, they're they're young guys that
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: that haven't played a ton of football in this league
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: and and we're continuing to to teach them each and
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: every day. And then the last one. Doug, I know
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: you mentioned it a little bit yesterday, but after going
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: back and watching the tape, how impressed were you just
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: with the defensive line performance and the overall pass rus yesterday?
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: You know, I thought the d line really stepped up yesterday.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Um got back to what they did earlier in the season. Um.
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I know we lost contained there at the end and
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: let's let's rustle out, you know on that late in
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: a late in the game that got him the first
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: down there. But you know that for the most part,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: they were aggressive, really really pushed the pocket, had some
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: had some good great games in there. Arden Arden was
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was was explosive, smooth, Trayvon was. You saw his length
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: and an explosiveness in there, you know. So it was
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: good to see. Good to see him get back to
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: that and and uh, you know again something to build
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: on as we uh as we moved to to this week. Thanks.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: I appreciate you, Betman. Awesome, thank you coach. All right
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: it guys, wh
