  Speaker 1: Hey leah parker started off with that diving touchdown what
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: was your view of that play and also just his
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: effort the whole day.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah a heck of a play uh had man coverage
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: he had outside leverage i think he dove down um
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: ran a really good route got the nickel kind of
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: dived down uh and and undercut him and ended up
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: being pretty open made a you know great catch had
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: really good protection i thought uh and for the most
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: part of the day but was pleased with the way
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: that we started fast, especially getting Parker going early.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Trevor obviously had an outstanding game.
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: What did you like about his performance?
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he spread the ball around, trusted the
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: guys that were in to make plays. Again, I thought
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: we protected him really well. I thought we mixed it
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: up from the run game and some different things to
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: keep them off balance to allow him, you know, Trevor
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to continue to do what he does. He did some
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: really good stuff off schedule again today, especially the touchdown
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: to Jacoby I thought was a phenomenal throw and play
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: in the back of the end zone. So was definitely
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: pleased with the way that Trevor ran the offense today.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Liam, it feels like you.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: Never really know what you have until you go out
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: and actually play in week one. How proud are you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of the way your team played all four quarters?
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was pleased with the way, you know, in
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: general of starting fast and something that we've been really emphasizing,
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: talking about, working on in different ways. I thought we
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: were definitely a more physical unit. I thought our defense
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: played phenomenal, really had the short field on the kickoff
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: return that they busted out past the 50 and held
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: them to three points, and then they get the big
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: one at the end there. But I really thought our
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: defense came to play and made our kicks. We've got
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: to clean up some things on kickoff.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Liam, it's been a while since you've been in the
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: same place two years in a row.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Is there comfort in that continuity, or do you feel
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: like you're building something here?
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: This is the first step. Yeah, I think there were
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: some good things to continue to build on. I definitely
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: felt like.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: When you go back, as I did this week, and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: watch Carolina week one versus what we were able to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: come out here and do in terms of, you know,
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: putting it away and making it our brand of football
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and not playing somebody else's game, playing our game. I
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: think that's something that as we grow together and as
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: we continue to know about each other more and more
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: and trust each other more and more as coaches and
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: players alike, that you can try to play your brand
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: and play your style of football game as much as possible.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Coach, along the same lines of that, sort of big
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: buzzword in pro sports right now is the standard. I
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: know you've used it a lot here as well. You
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get a performance like this on tape. What is that
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: going to do for your team's confidence that you can, hey,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: point to this game, that's our standard?
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think there's a lot of good things that
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: we can point to from this game in terms of
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: being more physical. We play at our best as a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: team here in Jacksonville when we're playing grimy. physical, nasty,
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: and we're flying around with relentless pursuit. And that's in
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: all three phases. That's setting the tone up front on
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: the offensive line and playing nasty and getting after it.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Our backs, I thought, did a great job after contact today. Obviously,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I think we tackled.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Pretty well, fairly well. I thought we got after the quarterback.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: And look, when you have a group of guys that
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: are hungry, wanting to get a bad taste out of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: their mouth with the first time them playing a game since, obviously, Buffalo, Yeah,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you're trying to elevate the standard every single week.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: Liam, you've turned the page from a year ago. The
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: carryover would be nine straight regular season wins. How different
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: is it for you, knowing that your team knows how
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: to win? Again, you had a lead last year. You
• 3:40
  Speaker 4: were third in the NFL in most offensive snaps with
• 3:43
  Speaker 4: the lead. How different in a year?
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good point in terms of, like, I
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: told the guys last night, I know I'm going to
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: sleep really good on Saturday night knowing that every single Sunday,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I'm not really too concerned if our team's going to
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: show up or not.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Is it going to always be perfect? I can't say that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: But I do know that our team's going to show
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: up on any given Sunday and play their tails off
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: and hopefully play our brand of football. Yeah, it's good
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: to know that you've got guys that are bought in.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: They're all together.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I think our locker room is extremely tight right now, And, look,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it was a spread-around game.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Like, it was a true team win.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And I think that that's where you can point to
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: the standard and point to having confidence in each other
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to be able to go out and spread the ball
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: around like we did. Josh Cameron catches a touchdown. And
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: then it's like on the next drive, I'm like, all right,
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: I want to get Brenton involved. And then on that drive,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: he catches a touchdown. So I have confidence in them.
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: They have confidence, I think, in what they're doing. And
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: hopefully it continues to carry over.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: You mentioned earlier in the week just the trust you
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: have in the rookies. I mean, Josh kept making that play,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: one of his first snaps on the field. What did
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: that say to you?
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: Man, that was a heck of a throw by Trevor
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: as well, threading the needle. But, man, Josh has continued
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: to put that on tape. He's done it for us
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: all throughout training camp, really, making contested, tough catches. Even
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: when he's covered, the quarterbacks do trust him to put
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: it in his vicinity, and he's going to make a play.
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: I thought BT had some contested catches as well today
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: that I was pleased to see. But yeah, for Josh
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: to be able to come out here in his first
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: NFL real action, minus the preseason, and catch a touchdown
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: on a contested catch. Then he had the comeback on
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: our sideline that I thought he ran a really good
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: route on Ward on.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And that's got to give him a ton of confidence
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: moving forward.
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Can you expand on what you liked from Basial?
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, man.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Like I mentioned, the yards after contact, I was very
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: pleased with. I thought he trusted the reads. He was
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: getting outside on some of the outside zones. Probably could
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: have got to some more of that as the game went,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: but I thought he ran nasty. I thought he ran violent.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: He took some shots and kept his contact balance going
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: and was falling forward a lot.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I was very pleased with him. We executed a screen
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to him as well, which, whew.
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: But yeah, like, yeah, I thought I thought Basial really
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: showed up today. I thought the confidence and the momentum
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: that he had from Carolina to Tampa to this showed up.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: It showed up in the week of practice. It showed
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: up in his preparation. And then again, showed up today.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Real quick on Trevor.
• 6:24
  Speaker 4: He's kind of notoriously started slow.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: What did you do today to make sure that that
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: didn't happen?
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, look, I mean, shoot, we've been pressing it so
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: much in practice. It it really started to kind of
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: show itself from an improvement standpoint, I think, in the
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Tampa joint, really, when we got the first play and
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: had the touchdown in that joint. But really, I think
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: we communicated to him and to the players our opening
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: script earlier in the week. Like, we got more to
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: some of the, you know, being ahead in game one,
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: it allowed us to jump ahead a little bit in
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: terms of, all right, Friday we were practicing more of
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: the openers and what are the things that we wanted
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: to get to early on. He had a great grasp
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: of the plan on Friday when we did our meeting
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: and our call sheet meeting on Friday and Saturday.
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: So I think we were just a little bit more intentional.
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: The time helped, so that's something we need to make
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: sure carries over, that we can continue to get ahead
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: of as a staff within the normal work prep weeks.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: But I think he just had a really good grasp
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of how to attack this defensive structure early on the
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: things that we wanted to get to early on. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: it was nice to see him starting to move around
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: early on too. I think that's a huge part of
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: his game that he can lean into, especially early on
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: in a game. All right, you're not exactly sure what
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: you're going to see, what you're getting.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Hey, man, go be you and go run around. That
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: typically helps. Coach, thank you.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Thanks, guys.
