1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,760 Speaker 1: Countdown to Kickoff continues. The Jaguars and the Miami Dolphins 2 00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,320 Speaker 1: kickoff weekend of the National Football League, and the analyst 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,080 Speaker 1: for CBS Sports on the telecast this week. He's been 4 00:00:10,119 --> 00:00:13,920 Speaker 1: with CBS since twenty fourteen, fifteen years as an NFL 5 00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:17,319 Speaker 1: quarterback for five different teams. It's our first chant to 6 00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: visit with Trent Green, and what a way to start, Trent, 7 00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:20,799 Speaker 1: how are you? 8 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,720 Speaker 2: I'll tell you what, JT. I was fired up when 9 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,159 Speaker 2: the assignments go out and to see this matchup in 10 00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:31,040 Speaker 2: week one. We're really lucky to be covering this game 11 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 2: because I think it's two of the teams that are 12 00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 2: going to be right in the hunt not only for 13 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,920 Speaker 2: the playoffs, but to make a splash in the AFC. 14 00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:42,000 Speaker 2: Two young quarterbacks that just got new contracts. Two teams 15 00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:45,280 Speaker 2: they got new defensive coordinators because they wanted to change 16 00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 2: up that side of the ball. Third year head coaches. 17 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 2: There's a lot of excitement around both of these organizations, 18 00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:54,440 Speaker 2: both of these teams, and plenty of star players in 19 00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: both both rosters. So yeah, we're excited for this one. 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,040 Speaker 1: Let's start with one of those quarterbacks, Trevor Lawrence. Of course, 21 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:07,399 Speaker 1: fifty five million dollars per year annual salary on average. 22 00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 1: So it's his third year with Doug Peterson. Right, we 23 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: know what happened in his rookie year. We've seen him 24 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: grow last year though he's banged up a lot. Why 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,959 Speaker 1: is this the right time for him? Can he take 26 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:21,720 Speaker 1: that next step? And why will he? 27 00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:26,440 Speaker 2: Well? I certainly think that the Jaguars hope so, and 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:30,160 Speaker 2: shot Con definitely does because he agreed to pay that contract. 29 00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 2: So I do think he's ready for that next step. 30 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 2: I think Doug has proven himself as someone not only 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 2: as a player and a coach, but someone that knows quarterbacks, 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:43,880 Speaker 2: knows the position, is a good play caller, has you know, 33 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 2: put guys in position to have success, having won a 34 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 2: super Bowl in Philadelphia, and you know, you look at 35 00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,040 Speaker 2: the even though it's the same record in year one 36 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 2: and year two, you know, winning a playoff game, having 37 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,160 Speaker 2: that type of experience, having guys on the roster that 38 00:01:57,320 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 2: know what that's like, and I think it's important when 39 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 2: you look at the talent that's around Trevor, you know, 40 00:02:02,920 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: there's no reason why this can't be his best season. 41 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,280 Speaker 2: I think last year, you know, you brought up the 42 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 2: fact that he was dealing with some injuries, and you 43 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:13,160 Speaker 2: look early on in the season, prior to those cumulative 44 00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,400 Speaker 2: effect of those injuries, you know, he was he was 45 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:18,959 Speaker 2: having a heck of a season, and I do think 46 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,919 Speaker 2: he'll continue to get better. I think that there'll be 47 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:23,840 Speaker 2: an emphasis in the off season about the turnovers. I know, 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:25,280 Speaker 2: the rest of the NFL and the rest of the 49 00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,640 Speaker 2: country likes to talk about the fumbles and the interceptions 50 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,000 Speaker 2: and and all that stuff. And that's part of growing 51 00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,080 Speaker 2: as a quarterback. I know. I know my first couple 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 2: of years, and I was much older by the time 53 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 2: I got done. It took me five years to get 54 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 2: on the field. You know, the game's faster. Things are happening. 55 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,680 Speaker 2: You know, defenses are trying to confuse is. You know, 56 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: as I've tried to prep this week, getting ready for 57 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 2: the game, seeing some of the things that the defenses 58 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,400 Speaker 2: were doing to him a year ago, trying to cause 59 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:53,040 Speaker 2: confusion giving his own look, but being manned a man, 60 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 2: having manned a man with a deep safety zone, but 61 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 2: then also having a couple of robbers in the middle 62 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:59,400 Speaker 2: of the field. I mean, they were really trying to 63 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,640 Speaker 2: confuse him. And there were times that he was confused 64 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:05,480 Speaker 2: based on I think it's pretty obvious from a turnover standpoint. 65 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:07,920 Speaker 2: But I think all those things, as you continue to 66 00:03:07,919 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: grow and learn in this league, those things start to 67 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 2: slow down. You start to see things better, and I 68 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 2: think that's what kind of culminates and puts him in 69 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 2: position to have success. Trent. 70 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,080 Speaker 1: We know this offense runs really through Christian Kirk and 71 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 1: Evan Ingram. That's where they would like it to go 72 00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 1: a lot. But they've got two new pieces this year 73 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: at wide receiver and Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. 74 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,720 Speaker 1: How difficult can it be to bring two new pieces 75 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 1: of your offense in at the skill positions, and you 76 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:38,840 Speaker 1: know how they like to throw this football around, So 77 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: you know how difficult is that for a quarterback to 78 00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,040 Speaker 1: get those guys in the same page. 79 00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's important once again, I'll go back 80 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: to the health. You know, these guys have had all 81 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: off season, They've had you know, training camp, just like everybody. 82 00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 2: Not many people play in the preseason, but you know, 83 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: you get that work. You just need to continue the 84 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,720 Speaker 2: timing of it. You know, going back and looking at 85 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 2: last year's film, breaking down some of the late season 86 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:06,520 Speaker 2: interceptions and turnovers that Trevor had and some of the 87 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,920 Speaker 2: things defenses are doing. There was also some miscommunication with 88 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,800 Speaker 2: the receivers at that time, with Calvin Ridley, wiz Day Jones, 89 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 2: and and you know, some of the balls that weren't 90 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: I wouldn't necessarily say his fault, but I gotta be 91 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 2: careful to protect quarterback because I'm always looking at protect quarterbacks. 92 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 2: But I do think that's an important part of it 93 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,160 Speaker 2: because I know the timing of it, getting the ball 94 00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:29,600 Speaker 2: out of your hands on time, guys, being in the 95 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,560 Speaker 2: right spots, all those things are important. Gave Davis has 96 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:36,919 Speaker 2: proved himself a big playmaker, huge playmaker for Josh Allen 97 00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,760 Speaker 2: up in Buffalo, So I think he's going to add 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 2: a nice dimension to this. And then you never know 99 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 2: with rookies. I know they're hoping that he jumps in 100 00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 2: and Thomas jumps in and makes us splash right away. 101 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: I think there could be some growing pains, you know. It's, 102 00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,400 Speaker 2: you know, trying to learn the league and learning defenses 103 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 2: and the way the DB's are going to defend him 104 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 2: and the way coordinators are going to defend him. It 105 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:59,040 Speaker 2: helps having the talent around him to get some one 106 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 2: on ones. But but I don't remain to be seen 107 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:04,320 Speaker 2: how how much he's involved, and I know they want 108 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 2: to get him involved, but you know, it's it's nice 109 00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,440 Speaker 2: having a running back like Etn also that you can 110 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:12,120 Speaker 2: rely on the run game a little bit as well. 111 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: Brent Green CBS Sports with us twa tongue of by 112 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: Low another one that got a contract of the offseason. 113 00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: He's got an injury history, that's one side of this thing, 114 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: but he also has a history in the recent history 115 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: of putting a lot of yards with some speedy receivers 116 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,000 Speaker 1: around him. So this was one where was this a 117 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:32,560 Speaker 1: toss up for you? Is this the right time to 118 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: pay Tua? 119 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 2: You know? I think I think it was for Tua 120 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,479 Speaker 2: as well. I think when you look at the type 121 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,600 Speaker 2: of quarterback that Tua was, and and a lot has 122 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: been made of this just because of the recent comments 123 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,080 Speaker 2: that Tua had about Brian Flores and and the previous 124 00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,240 Speaker 2: regime and what Mike McDaniel has meant to him. I know, 125 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 2: having covered Miami, you know for the last ten to 126 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 2: eleven years, the different coaches, and and I was there 127 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 2: when when Tua was with Brian Flores and and his 128 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 2: personality change substantially. When Mike McDaniel came in. He uh, 129 00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,400 Speaker 2: you know, he would come into our meetings as a 130 00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:11,520 Speaker 2: different player. And I remember him leading that first year 131 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,680 Speaker 2: with Mike McDaniel and and just say, gosh, that's a 132 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 2: he's carrying himself differently. He's feeling differently about his game. 133 00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,800 Speaker 2: And and you know, to see the comments that happened 134 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 2: this year, you can you can see. All you got 135 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: to do is turn on the tape and look at 136 00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 2: the type of player he was three seasons agoing what 137 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 2: he's been the last two years. I think that Mike 138 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 2: has instilled that confidence in him. I think the the 139 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 2: play scheming and the design of the offense uh fits 140 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,800 Speaker 2: well into what Tua likes to do. If you look, 141 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:38,720 Speaker 2: see the ball gets out of his hands as quick 142 00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: as anybody in the league. So a lot of that 143 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,480 Speaker 2: is play designed. And then when plays don't break down, 144 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,359 Speaker 2: you know, having a world class sprinter like ty Reef 145 00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: back there, uh, you know, tends to tends to help 146 00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,680 Speaker 2: things a little bit. So I do think it was 147 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,120 Speaker 2: the right time to pay to it. And uh, and 148 00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:57,160 Speaker 2: I just think he fits well into what Mike McDaniel 149 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 2: wants to get done. And I know there were people 150 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,560 Speaker 2: you know that weren't really excited about it. But I 151 00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 2: think based on what he's done the last two years, 152 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:07,560 Speaker 2: the fact that he was able to stay healthy a 153 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 2: year ago for the most part, and the way he 154 00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: fits in what Mike wants to get done, I think 155 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: this all makes sense. 156 00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: You mentioned Tyree Jalen Waddell can fly, Rahiem Moster can fly. 157 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Devin a Chan can fly. So how do 158 00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,320 Speaker 1: you recommend defending this group with all these speed guys. 159 00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: Trim, Well, it's you know, it really kind of comes back. 160 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,640 Speaker 2: It's one of two ways. You're either going to rush three, 161 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,000 Speaker 2: drop eight, cause confusion. Right, You've seen defenses cause problems 162 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 2: for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense right when they 163 00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:41,960 Speaker 2: drop three, or a rush three drop eight, try and 164 00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 2: put pressure on him with three if you can do that, 165 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 2: or rush four drop seven. You know, when you decide 166 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:50,680 Speaker 2: to bring pressure, you better make sure you don't give 167 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 2: up the big play. And I think that's the thing 168 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 2: is the timeliness of it. Okay, it's like you got 169 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 2: to pick which way you want to attack it. You 170 00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: got to continue to cause confusion. You got to contin 171 00:08:00,120 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: you to mix things up, because if you go, Okay, 172 00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 2: this is what we're doing. We're gonna bring five six 173 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,120 Speaker 2: man pressures, we're gonna go man a man, Eventually you're 174 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: gonna get it burned because you can't match up with 175 00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:12,120 Speaker 2: all that speed, all those guys you just mentioned. Uh, 176 00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,560 Speaker 2: if you decide to go zone the whole time, they'll 177 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,520 Speaker 2: sit there and that's when they get the the hm 178 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,200 Speaker 2: mostt thing going and the screens and the quick bubbles 179 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. And yeah, you're gonna 180 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 2: you're gonna keep it under control, but your time of 181 00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,840 Speaker 2: possession is gonna be two to one. So I think 182 00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:30,520 Speaker 2: the biggest thing, you know is really just is mixing 183 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,720 Speaker 2: it up. Teams have had success against Miami doing that. 184 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 2: Teams have had success against some of the other high 185 00:08:35,960 --> 00:08:38,520 Speaker 2: powered offenses around the league doing that. You can't just 186 00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 2: stick to one formula because of because of those types 187 00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:45,000 Speaker 2: of weapons. Been great stuff.
