• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Oh, the confidence just didn't mentioned the quarterback each gaming confidence.
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: How much confidence that you've seen from Trevor him kind of?
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I mean going in was.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: That the expectation just took some weeks for.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: Him the game.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: I mean, there was no real expectations. I don't think,
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: you know, you just try to take it week by
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: week and keep coaching up things that need to get
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: improved upon and working on things that we're doing well.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: So look, it's you hit strides at different times in
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: different seasons. It's just the way it goes. And try
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: not to overthink it, try not to dive into too
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: many what ifs and this and that. You just kind
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: of keep coaching. You keep the standards high and the
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: expectations high. And you know, I thought he rose to
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: the to the occasion yesterday and played at a high level.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: He was really accurate. I mean, really had the two
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: drops too that you can understand a little bit in
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: the in the elements, but was really I thought it
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: was one of his more accurate games. Big plays that
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: we needed on critical third downs.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: So hopefully we can continue to ride the momentum.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: But the offense line play yesterday, no quarterback hits allowed,
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a random hole. Yeah, I thought we protected, you know,
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: really well. We were aggressive and past protection when we
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: were able to kind of jump people, we were able
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: to jump them. I thought we did a nice job
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: on the edges as well for the most part. Still
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a lot of meat left on the bone in the
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: run game that needs to continue to get improved on,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: and some details fundamentals and techniques that need to improve upon,
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: guys staying on the ground, off the ground and playing
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: a little cleaner. But I was I was definitely happy
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: with those guys yesterday for the most part.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Liam follow up on the run game three point two average.
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Our teams throwing different looks or is it all looking
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: at your looking at the mirror. We're definitely seeing some
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: more heavier boxes at times. But we did have a
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: few tar getting issues yesterday and a few fundamental issues
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: that it's definitely wasn't completely up to the standard by
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: any mean. So it's a group effort they know that,
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: but definitely starts up front.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Second half. Yeah, I think we saw it pretty well.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: There's a few that you know, we can cram and
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: get a few more yards in there when we're trying
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to get the ball on the perimeter and.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: It's not there.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: But he's got a good feel for some of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: pin and pool schemes and.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Stuff like that.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: He fact, he did a great job finding a crease
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: on a trap that we ran kind of in.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: The third quarter I think, or fourth third quarter I think,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: uh made it.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Really had a really good feel getting back in there.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: You know, he's just playing pretty confidently and having a
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: good understanding as to what we're trying to get accomplished
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: on some of those schemes. But you know, ultimately backs
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: get paid to make people miss and at the second
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: third level and get more than what the play is
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: expected to get.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: Right if the.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: Play is blocked to ultimately get four yards, their jobs
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: to get eight And uh, you know that told me
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: what we judge backspy.
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: The next day talk about him kind of throw the Yeah,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: he's definitely improved. There.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: Had a really nice pick up yesterday on a cut
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: that he had, and he's mixed up some of the
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: technique that he wants to be able to use based
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: on some of the.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Rushers that he's seeing.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: He's more dialed into the protections I think than maybe
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: he has been in some ways, and he's taking it seriously. Chad,
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: like I've always said, does a great job of teaching
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: those guys not just the schemes, but the fundamentals and
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: techniques that we want to use in past protection. And
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: he's taken pride in it a little bit.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: But I remember in training camp and by emphasis will
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: celebrate with your teammates at how does it feel as
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: coach to see that kind of carry over and see the.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Guys after them making these big plays come together have
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: handshakes all over the Yeah, it's so many times you
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: get into in the NFL like that's your job, right,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: your job, it's your job to.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Go and do it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And it's still a game. It's still you know, scoring
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: touchdowns and making big plays are are Uh yes, it's
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: part of the game. It is their jobs, but it's
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's still a touchdown, right. How you celebrate touchdowns when
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: you're you know, playing in Pop Warner and in high
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: school and that's that's fun for I want that to
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: be fun the game where we are playing a game
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: for our jobs and our profession. So it's great to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: see the guys in there. It's something we've emphasized a lot.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: We want them to you know, have their personalities shine.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: This is entertainment as well, so go have fun with it.
• 4:53

  Speaker 1: seeing in the facility, seeing stuff on the TVs, where
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: you got are on the division and what other people
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: are saying about the Jags. Is that part of your
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: motivational plan every week?
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: What you're talking about, No, I mean, look, you're try
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: to find little any edges, you know, any way you
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: can find uh an edge, and we keep getting the
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: ammunition we need. So that's that's what we're Look, It's
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: that's our job as coaches and as you know staff,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: to to kind of continue to find little ways to
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: to motivate and and to keep things going. And we
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: know that when we play with an edge, it's usually
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a good thing for the Jags.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: Tough conditions yesterday, but it looked like a field held
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: up phenomenal.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Very I shout out the you know, the grounds crew
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: yesterday on the radio, but today specifically want to give
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: a shout out to our grounds crew and everybody that
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: was involved getting that field and the condition that it's
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: been in. You know, really even going back to the
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: to the Chargers game, like that was such a great
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: surface we played on but like yesterday, to not have
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: guys slipping and sliding all over that surface. We came
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: out in pregame and then early on in the game
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: before it really started to get going, you wasn't even
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: gonna tell that it you know, could tell that it
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: was raining. So kudos to those guys, Seriously, they put
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a lot of time into it and and really appreciate
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: ab of those guys. Remember first time.
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: After five games, how do you think he played? Who that?
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Eric Murray? How do you think he played with tackling
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and got the bubble?
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you obviously got the turnover there, and you know,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: he's getting back into the swing of it. I think
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: there's some things that we need to clean up, but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: his presence was definitely felt, his communication, his confidence. You know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I think he's gonna take a step forward as he
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: gets more and more comfortable after not playing a long time.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: Is always to play your best ball late season. How
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: hard is it to actually.
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: Line that up where you're playing some of your best football.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: At me, that's just week to week, you know, I mean,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: it's not we're not sitting here talking about uh man,
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: we have to play our best football now. It's just
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: we're in process. We're in the process of just trying
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to improve, get better each day, taking it seriously, want
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: to know every week, and it just so happens that
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: you know, we're in December right now where it does
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: really truly your your games get a lot less opportunities.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And that's just the margin prayer that we're at right now.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: And you know, look, it's it's a process, a daily,
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: hourly process, and that's how we're taking it.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: That's all the.
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: Things right Maybe about recudation gratifying was the.
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Very gratifying.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: He's worked his tail off. You know, a guy that
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: in that room has continued to help elevate the standard
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: of the way that they block, the way that they play,
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: the way they come off the ball, the way that
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: they run the routes. He's definitely made an impact in
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: that room and I was so glad to see him
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: get rewarded for some of those things. And the quarterback
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: trusts him, Trevor trusts him and give him some ops
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: down the field to make plays. Excuse me, the critical
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: scramble for the touchdown, the scramble across the field where
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: Trevor makes the phenomenal throw across his body. I mean
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Tim had separation. It wasn't like he was just this
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: phenomenal play and catch like he ran away from the guy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: So he runs his routes physically and at and at
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: full speed, and he's been able to make some plays
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: for us.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: So I was very pleased with Tim yesterday. You get
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: a sense Brian a little bit, A little.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: Bit, I think, just getting healthier, right like as a
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: wide out and you got an ankle like that's just
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: it's hard. It's hard to feel confident probably going out
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: and cutting and running and stopping and making plays. And
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think right now he just feels better, he feels healthier.
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: He's been practicing hard, he's been practicing at full speed.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: He's him and the.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: Quarterback and Trevor worked at it like they've worked. They've
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: put time into it, and it showed up yesterday in
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: a big way for us. That's an area of our
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: offense that has been much needed and to have it
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: show up yesterday was such a good thing to see
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: for us moving forward, for our confidence as a group.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: When you can attack, like I said, every blade of grass,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: you're just becoming that much more difficult to defend.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: The tougher things to kind of manage throughout the season.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: You get guys with injuries and confidence and that this
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: guy's dealing with that, that guy's deal with that. How
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: do you get it all?
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's definitely the process that you're in as a
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: head coach and as position coaches and coordinators that that's
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: our job to have a pulse on who needs what, right, Like, yes,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: it's every player you want to coach the same and
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: you want you know, from a standard standpoint, right, but
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: some guys need different conversations, some guys need different indie drills,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: some guys.
• 10:28
  Speaker 3: Like That's the.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: One thing I think that we've maybe done a nice
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: job of, or we've tried to emphasize as coaches recently specifically,
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: is make sure everything that we're doing is like tangibly driven,
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: like something that everything every player may needs something different
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: to improve upon. How can we get that to show
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: up in our film examples and our drill work and
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: the reps that they get in practice, making sure that
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: those are in alignment with the things that they need
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: to improve upon to show up on Sundays.
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: So, Yeah, it's a it's a challenge, but that's the
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: challenge of coaching, and that's why we do it. And
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: you're trying to help guys get to the best version
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: of themselves. And I think that's something that we try
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: to take bridon.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Close to going yesterday and deal conditions playing that decision
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: at all or no. No.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: I mean you know, like you guys saw he was
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: out there a little bit throughout the week. It was
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: just a matter of Friday Saturday wasn't quite ready to go.
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: So I think we'll get a better beat on it
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: on Wednesday when we get out there a little bit.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: The mentality of be in disrespect when you're gonna be
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: have favorites going on Sunday. Yeah, it's easy, man, it's easy.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: No, it's we'll have plenty to to continue to work.
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, guys like we're not I hate to say,
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: but we're not in a position to act like that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: We know what happens when.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: We let the foot off a little bit. We've seen
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: what that looks like. And I think when you learn
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: from those moments and those uh times in games, it's
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: it's our jobs to to hold that standard, to to
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: not let us ourselves get to that position or we're
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: gonna play perfectly every single snap and every single game.
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: Probably not.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But if we can have the right mindset mentality for
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: sixty minutes in four quarters, I feel a lot better
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: about that.
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: That kind of that provide what he makes The Cales did.
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, great situational awareness, kind of understanding what we were
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: gonna get there. They threw it on third and one,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: so had a pretty good feeling they were gonna run
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: it on fourth and one there, and knew you know
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: that they liked to run the tight zone in that situation,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: and they were in the shotgun, so it was a
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: little bit easier for him to crash on the tight
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: end and make a play, and he anticipated it well,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: got penetration. But there was others also that got some
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: good penetration that helped peel some of their combinations off,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: which was Devin Lloyd on that as well. So a
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: huge fourth down stop for Trayvon and for our defense
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and getting him back out there, excuse me, going is
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: a good thing for us.
