1
00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:07,240
Speaker 1: It's something that we're still trying to, um, continue to

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: learn and grow from. And you know, obviously it was

3
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:14,120
Speaker 1: a unique situation, right and in a game that UM yeah,

4
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,320
Speaker 1: sure it may not a meant a whole lot, but

5
00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,680
Speaker 1: but I don't know if I've been in a situation

6
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:21,919
Speaker 1: where you had a game like this heading into a

7
00:00:21,960 --> 00:00:25,800
Speaker 1: game that that for everything, you know, but I'll tell

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: you it's it's Um. It's a credit to the guys

9
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,600
Speaker 1: in the locker room, the coaches, just to stay to

10
00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,599
Speaker 1: stay stay focused. That was our that was our um,

11
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:37,880
Speaker 1: sort of our you know, UM, I thinking of here,

12
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: it was our you know. Yeah, our mantra for the

13
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:43,720
Speaker 1: week was to say locked in and stay focused and

14
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 1: ready to go. And you know, the guys that's why

15
00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: I told him after the locker room, the way they

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 1: handled this week. UM, very proud of them for that.

17
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: And that's all part of our winning, winning culture, you know.

18
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: And and UM, there's a time and a place obviously,

19
00:00:59,800 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 1: uhum to to rest, guys. I just didn't think this

20
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: was the time or the place to do that. Obviously,

21
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 1: one of the biggest regular season games in this recut. Um,

22
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,880
Speaker 1: how do you view it and do you feel like

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,960
Speaker 1: the guys will will handle the pressure that's gonna come

24
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 1: with this. This is what you play for. This is

25
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: what you coach for, you know, Um, this is this

26
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 1: is this is what you want, you know, um, for

27

00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: haven't done anything yet there they're still the champs until

32
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 1: until something happens. But um, you know, I felt like

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:42,399
Speaker 1: and and really feel like our guys are again in

34
00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:47,040
Speaker 1: a good, good place. They're a good place mentally, physically, um,

35
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: and I don't really have to worry too much about

36
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: them getting excited for this one. You know. It's more

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: it's more about just locking in on your job and

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: focusing in on your um, your task. You know this week, um,

00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: you have strong feelings about like Saturday where you have

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: short arrest versus Yeah, I mean I would love to

42
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,799
Speaker 1: play Sunday, you know obviously, UM to to have these

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: next couple of days. But look, we'll play, um, you

44
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,240
Speaker 1: know you we'll play when they ask us or tell

45
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 1: us to play and our guys will be ready to go.

46
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,359
Speaker 1: But um, if I could pick, i'd I'd pick Sunday

47
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:25,839
Speaker 1: like today. And what do you see on his pick?

48
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: Sixty two yards touchdown run? Um on that run I saw,

49
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 1: I saw a great blocking not only by the line

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: but by by Christians A I believe. And um, they

51
00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: didn't now standing job today in in in the run

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: game and and obviously gave him you know, the ability

53
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: to spring free and getting the end zone. But um,

54
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: you know that's what Travis can do. You know, we

55
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 1: can get him, get him in on you know, get

56
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 1: him in space and on the perimeter or between the

57
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 1: tackles some you know, he's capable of doing that. And

58
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:52,320
Speaker 1: it was good to see. It's been a while since

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: we've got him, you know, going like that. It was

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: the first series getting ahead in this game. And I

61
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:02,120
Speaker 1: haven't pressure unspoiled. I mean it's it's big defense did

62
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,119
Speaker 1: a great job, you know, turnover on downs and then

63
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: and then you know the offense responding. You know, we

64
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: went a little tempo there to start the game and

65
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: and um, you know, did a nice job getting in

66
00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:13,480
Speaker 1: the end zone. That's exactly how we wanted to wanted

67
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: to start the football game. And it does in any game.

68
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 1: Is is is great when you can you know, obviously

69
00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 1: get the get the lead early and and then our

70
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,400
Speaker 1: guys did a nice job you know, keeping it and

71
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: and um, I'm doing some good things. Help every defense obviously,

72
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,679
Speaker 1: it seems like there's a really market difference between this

73
00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:32,440
Speaker 1: group when they don't get one and then when they

74
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:34,920
Speaker 1: are able to get one. I mean they're you know

75
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: those are those are proven stats, right, takeaways and and

76
00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 1: giveaways things like that, and um, you know, anytime you

77
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 1: can be in the plus category, uh, your chances of

78
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: winning go up. It just means more possessions for your offense.

79
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: And you know, defensively did a nice job. Of course

80
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: we turned the ball over too, so that's you know,

81
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta look at that. And uh uh

82
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: you know Trevor and CJ both had you know, had

83
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,600
Speaker 1: picks today and uh, you know, we just gotta take

84
00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: a look at that. But the defense, I mean, when

85
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 1: you can score on defense too, you know like they did,

86
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: um just just helps the cause. And that that I

87
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: thought the defense did an outstanding job today. Um, you know,

88
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: really just holding them to the three points. But you know,

89
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: um played played well season. The Christian Kirk is how

90
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: he went over a thousand yards today and just describe

91
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: what he's meant to you guys. You know, he's meant

92
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: a lot. He's a he's a veteran player who obviously,

93
00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,239
Speaker 1: you guys know we targeted in free agency, and um,

94
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: he's been nothing but a professional um here in Jacksonville.

95
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 1: And he you know, he works extremely hard every single

96
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: day out there, and and it's a reason why he

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,560
Speaker 1: you know, has the numbers that he does, and it's

98
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 1: because of his work ethic and he's been He's been

99
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,680
Speaker 1: great for the room, been great for our team, and um,

100
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy for him and obviously his family

101
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 1: for you know, this milestone. It seem like today the

102
00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: medical ten never went up at all. Have you ever

103
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,200
Speaker 1: been involved in a game. I mean, it didn't seem

104
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 1: like maybe if we missed something, but there any even

105
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: remote injury today that that got your no, not really.

106
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: We had a couple of bumps and bruises in the game.

107
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,479
Speaker 1: We were fortunate, you know, uh, and then in the

108
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: third quarter we were able to pull some guys and

109
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: and you know, get them out of the football game.

110
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,720
Speaker 1: And again it's just a credit to the players. Um,

111
00:05:16,760 --> 00:05:18,320
Speaker 1: but no, I don't think I've ever been in a

112
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: in a game where you know that that tent, you know,

113
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 1: knock on wood. We don't want it to go up much.

114
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 1: But when it doesn't go up, that's a good thing.

115
00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Maybe a couple of miss throws, but overall it's yeah,

116
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: I mean, overall, he did some good things. Um, you know,

117
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 1: led the football team that you know, the obviously the

118
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,800
Speaker 1: one pick you know him, and a kind of missed

119
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:41,359
Speaker 1: on that and something will take a look at and fix.

120
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: But I thought he did some good thing. He was

121
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: he was high with some throws early, you know, and

122
00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: and but settled in. I thought the run game was

123
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: was good. But you know, overall, and again listen, it's

124
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: a it's a tough week. I understand it, you know,

125
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of you know, um, you know, being

126
00:05:55,880 --> 00:05:58,160
Speaker 1: being mentally prepared and everything just the way the nature

127
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 1: of the game is. And and I thought he really

128
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: handled himself well and let the team. Well, how much

129
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: does it help you same planning execution wise when you

130
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: have a guy like Evan in the tight end, that

131
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: really is a massive back in the past game. I

132
00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: mean it's it's it's a you know, it's good. I mean,

133
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: it's good for your offense and and you know, it's

134
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: just another weapon that you can you can scheme for.

135
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: And um, you know, he's been I think he set

136
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: a record himself. I think today you know, for tight

137
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:31,080
Speaker 1: ends and and just um, you know, just been a

138
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,480
Speaker 1: blessing to our team and a great leader. He's another one.

139
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,600
Speaker 1: He's a hard worker. I mean the guys, you know,

140
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,840
Speaker 1: those guys, you know, Evan Christian, those guys are are

141
00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, what you want and how you can build

142
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 1: you know, build a team. And um, but having a

143
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: guy like Evan you know, um, really gives you some

144
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: flexibility on offense with your game planning. So many streaks

145
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: this season, how rewarding is one where the Texans at

146
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: one ninth strade. I think back to back road games

147
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: and all kinds of stuff. It's crazy, just check them off.

148
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, it's it's Um, it's great for

149
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: the organization, it's great for the team. You know. Um,

150
00:07:11,880 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: obviously you set out each season, you know, and hopefully

151
00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: you win, you win more than you lose. But um,

152
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:19,120
Speaker 1: this is just a credit to the staff. It's a

153
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: credit to the players, you know, even you know Mr Kahan,

154
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,160
