1
00:00:00,600 --> 00:00:01,440
Speaker 1: What does that give you?

2
00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Those two how do they compliment each other?

3
00:00:03,279 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: And you know, is it fun to kind of figure

4
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:06,240
Speaker 1: out way to kind of use those guys?

5
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, you know, I mean it's kind of I

6
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 2: think anytime anybody has two backs that produce, it's always

7
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 2: kind of to use the thunder and lightning phrase, and

8
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,320
Speaker 2: that's kind of what it feels like. You know, tanks,

9
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 2: they have different styles, they have enough blend of being

10
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,680
Speaker 2: able to do everything to where I think we can

11
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:23,840
Speaker 2: avoid some tendencies with that. And then honestly, Dearanis is

12
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:26,319
Speaker 2: a great blend being kind of that third guy that

13
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: supplements to where like we went through a couple of

14
00:00:29,440 --> 00:00:32,040
Speaker 2: games stretch without TJ in there, Deernus is able to

15
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 2: fulfill that role of kind of being the pass catcher,

16
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: doing a little slash everything. And then if the same thing,

17
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 2: if we were ever to miss Tank, we feel like

18
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 2: Dearanis and TJ have a one to two combination that

19
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 2: could do a lot of things. So, you know, we're

20
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,720
Speaker 2: very excited about that backfield. Anytime you have good players,

21
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: it's a good thing, that good thing to have to

22
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 2: deal with.

23
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: This is what guy's envision when you took Tank last year.

24
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: It just took a little while to.

25
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,280
Speaker 2: Get here, right right, Yeah, and kind of the same

26
00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,200
Speaker 2: thing we talked about, just letting Tank be able to

27
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 2: grow and step into, you know, the roles we expect

28
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: before him producing the way he's been able to produce

29
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 2: this season's been the expectation from the jump pass protection line.

30
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: He still have ways to go there or No.

31
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:12,559
Speaker 2: I think it's like any young back. I think it's

32
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:14,800
Speaker 2: always very different than coming out of college. College. They're

33
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,120
Speaker 2: not putting a lot of those scenarios of the third

34
00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:18,840
Speaker 2: down for us is very different than the third down

35
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,280
Speaker 2: in college, honestly. I mean you still see teams in

36
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 2: no huddle. They don't face as many third downs I

37
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 2: believe in college football. And then there's more play actions.

38
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: Let's just pure drop back, exotic pressure looks, things like that.

39
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 2: But in terms of identification things like that, Tank does

40
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 2: a very good job and it's very important to him.

41
00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:39,319
Speaker 2: He spends a lot of time on it, you know.

42
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 2: Right now, Honestly, if you just have to rank the backfield,

43
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 2: the other two guys are probably better at this point.

44
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: That does not mean we don't believe Tank is good

45
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,520
Speaker 2: at that role. Right there, and I think he continues

46
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 2: to grow. But you know, we want to continue to

47
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,680
Speaker 2: put the best people in the best position to do

48
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 2: what they do really well. Right now, this is a

49
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 2: new thing for him getting his number called.

50
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: Now that person is done for the year.

51
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 3: But where do you think he's grown in the last

52
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 3: year versus you know, last year he gets his number

53
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:06,480
Speaker 3: calling and it might have been a little action of more.

54
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I think it's always hard just being a backup.

55
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 2: These guys all come out of college being the guy,

56
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,800
Speaker 2: and now you're the backup, whether you're the fourth, fifth,

57
00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:18,040
Speaker 2: you really you're the backup at all spots. So Christian

58
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: goes down and go on the slot. If you know

59
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,239
Speaker 2: last year somebody else went down, he went outside. There's

60
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:24,520
Speaker 2: kind of that flexibility where maybe that's a little bit,

61
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 2: Maybe that's a little tougher just mentally having to prepare

62
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: for that, and then it slows you down a little

63
00:02:28,760 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 2: bit in the way you play. Where now I think

64
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 2: Parker knows the ins and outs of the past game

65
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: and the offense as a whole, so it's not a

66
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 2: big deal for him to just be thrown in the

67
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 2: game and move around the formation, move around letter wise, whatever,

68
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 2: he's playing and be able to play at a high level.

69
00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 2: Now you just start to see these guys as they

70
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 2: settle in with their confidence, their skill set flashes more

71
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 2: and more. You see that with the like we were

72
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:51,679
Speaker 2: talking about with Tank, Brenton, all these younger players. Now

73
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 2: you're really seeing just the skill set that we saw

74
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: originally when they're in their fourth fifth year of college

75
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 2: in one system. You were starting to see that come

76
00:02:57,760 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: out a little bit more.

77
00:02:59,040 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: What is your.

78
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 3: Reaction trading a player like Cam or really what this

79
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 3: opportunity means for Walker moving forward?

80
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 2: Excited for Walk? You know, Uh, he's a guy that's

81
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 2: continued to do everything we've asked of him, be selfless,

82
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 2: put it, put the team first. I'm so excited for that.

83
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 2: We'll definitely miss Cam. Cam's a guy that's kind of

84
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: been a staple here for us since we've gotten here

85
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,239
Speaker 2: three years ago, whatever that may be. You know, when

86
00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 2: you think of the Jaguars, honestly, Cam is one of

87
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: the guys you think of. So it's tough to see

88
00:03:24,639 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: somebody that gave so much for us while we were

89
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 2: here in this regime to himself or of himself to

90
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 2: the team. So that's always tough. You don't want to

91
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 2: lose anybody. We've become a tight knit group in the

92
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: unit room that we're in, but excited for Walker's opportunity.

93
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,280
Speaker 2: Know Walker will step into it and do a good job.

94
00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:42,960
Speaker 1: It's when Walker's played.

95
00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 3: He's played because Cam was out, so it was always

96
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 3: kind of temporary thing. Do you think it can mean

97
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 3: anything for him knowing that these next nine games it's

98
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:50,839
Speaker 3: not a temporary thing and like he's the guy.

99
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that probably helps in some way shape

100
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 2: or for him. And again you have to get his

101
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: mindset on that, but I could see where that would

102
00:03:57,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 2: make sense.

103
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Maybe why when you lost Christian for those five games,

104
00:04:03,080 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: now moving forward to this year, losing in for these

105
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: last night, what have you sort of learned from that

106
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 1: that can maybe help you this year.

107
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I think a lot. It's always

108
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: a game to game basis, so you're always going in

109
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,320
Speaker 2: every game and you start the week with who's available

110
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:21,200
Speaker 2: to us, how do we utilize our best players? So

111
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,719
Speaker 2: if Christian's not available, that everybody kind of moves up

112
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 2: the pecking order in that sense, and who's healthy, who's

113
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:29,359
Speaker 2: ready to go, that's always the starting point. So We

114
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: don't even look at it as Christians out for the season.

115
00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: We look at it Christian is not playing this week,

116
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: and the next week. We'll deal with who's playing, who's

117
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 2: available to us as that goes. So I think this

118
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,240
Speaker 2: is just kind of how you deal with a week.

119
00:04:41,320 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 2: It's not something that we're not looking ahead to five

120
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:46,880
Speaker 2: weeks from now or anything like that. But you know,

121
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: I think you do have the confidence in Parker, you

122
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: have the confidence in Brenton to step in if the

123
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 2: twelve personnel becomes a little bit more prominent moving forward

124
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 2: in the past game like it did last week. You know,

125
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: obviously Brian has proven his worth in this system. Gabe

126
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: continues to grow. Tim Jones has always been a reliable,

127
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:05,160
Speaker 2: steady force for us when he gets this chance to contribute.

128
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: So I think you just have confidence that these guys

129
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 2: just continue to grow in the system.

130
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: He can't go, how do you replace them?

131
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:13,720
Speaker 2: The same thing I mean is what gives us what

132
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: we're looking for. If we're looking for a speed element

133
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,760
Speaker 2: down the field on a certain concept, who is available

134
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 2: that can give us that aspect of things. I mean,

135
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 2: it's kind of the same thing of building a game plan.

136
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,760
Speaker 2: If he can't go, you have contingency plans of this

137
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 2: is what's going to give us what we want on

138
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 2: this particular play. If he can go, how do we

139
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:32,559
Speaker 2: mix them in? I think the challenging thing is always

140
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,440
Speaker 2: when you don't know when a guy's truly day to

141
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 2: day like this, You've got to build a plan without him,

142
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: but then have your areas to insert him if he

143
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,360
Speaker 2: makes it to game day and things like that. So

144
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,200
Speaker 2: that's always a little bit more of a challenge. But

145
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 2: every single play we're looking at the people we put

146
00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 2: on the field. What do we expect the defense to

147
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,679
Speaker 2: respond with? What does that mean defensively, coverage wise, front wise,

148
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 2: pressure wise? What are we going to get from them

149
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:56,600
Speaker 2: if we do This probably isn't an answerable question, but

150
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:59,599
Speaker 2: how do you start fast in such a topic this week?

151
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,600
Speaker 1: How do you I guess approach that.

152
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly something we're looking into, because I mean,

153
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 2: the statistics of gaining an early lead at the end

154
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: of the quarter, end of the half, things like that

155
00:06:10,640 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 2: are critical. It changes the way you play the entire

156
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: game if you're playing with the lead versus playing from behind.

157
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,800
Speaker 2: So that's something we're looking at. But you know, when

158
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 2: we look, we've got to be efficient early on in

159
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,600
Speaker 2: certain situations. There's some areas of our game where we're

160
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: not as efficient early in a game. We kind of

161
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: find our stride later, and we got to figure out

162
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,479
Speaker 2: what that is. Are we as coaches putting our players

163
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 2: in the best possible position early in a game to

164
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 2: maximize the look they're getting to have confidence in what

165
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:38,159
Speaker 2: they're doing, getting the ball to our best players early,

166
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 2: doing things our quarterbacks comfortable with. How do we get

167
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 2: them set? Does it go back to Saturday night walk

168
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 2: through of understanding what we're looking at. Does it go

169
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:48,599
Speaker 2: back to our pregame routine Sunday so the first snap

170
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 2: we're ready to roll. Does it go back to what

171
00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 2: we practiced throughout the course of the week. So all

172
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: things that we're continuing to look into because we understand

173
00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:01,040
Speaker 2: the importance of scoring early forever after adversity at the

174
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: end of the day twice, like he kind of came

175
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: back from that twice and lets its best drives in

176
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:10,120
Speaker 2: the season. Trevor's, I mean, part of it's just in

177
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 2: those situations, those circumstances, your character gets revealed, your football character,

178
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 2: But you're just character. Trevor I've never seen Trevor flinch, honestly,

179
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: and all the things that have happened him playing hurt,

180
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 2: guys getting hurt around him, guys he relies on all

181
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: the time, new faces in the huddle. Sometimes he doesn't

182
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 2: know until he's in the huddle that somebody's out and

183
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 2: the communication goes through the headset so and so's out,

184
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: and maybe it don't always get to him. He looks around,

185
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,239
Speaker 2: calls a play and there's somebody staying there he didn't expect.

186
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 2: He never flinches. He just continues to be unflappable, steady

187
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: force for our team, honestly, and the offense in the huddle.

188
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 2: And I think part of it he has a lot

189
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: of confidence in those guys. He spends a lot of

190
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 2: time off to the side, throwing with those guys, talking

191
00:07:48,680 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 2: with those guys, just spending time with them to where

192
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,880
Speaker 2: not only does he have confidence in them, I think

193
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 2: they know he has confidence in them and he believes

194
00:07:56,840 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: in them, and I think that helps empower players to

195
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,840
Speaker 2: play better. So I can't say enough good things about

196
00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:04,640
Speaker 2: the leadership he's shown for the three years I've been here,

197
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,119
Speaker 2: but obviously last week, when you know bolts are flying

198
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:10,240
Speaker 2: and things happen, people go down, and you've got to respond,

199
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: and this is what's asked of you as a franchise quarterback.

200
00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 2: And I thought he rose to that challenge and put

201
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 2: us in position to win the game. Did that inspire

202
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,480
Speaker 2: more confidence than some of those guys that you do

203
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: have to rely on now with injuries, you know, guys

204
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: making plays in a crucial situation. Yeah, I think so.

205
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: I mean, I think anytime you see those guys, you

206
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 2: believe they can, but until they're in the position, until

207
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,880
Speaker 2: they do it, you really don't know. And so you know,

208
00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: there was a lot of times. There were probably times

209
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,360
Speaker 2: I was reading on the call sheet, I just you know,

210
00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: kind of ron bergened it and read eleven personnel and

211
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 2: everybody's yelling, you don't have eleven, and so we only

212
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 2: had twelve. So then we just kind of, I really

213
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: just call a concept at times and say, you guys

214
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,120
Speaker 2: line up where we need to line out, like, get

215
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,800
Speaker 2: where we need to get to to be able to

216
00:08:55,880 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 2: run this this concept we ran. I think we had

217
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 2: a big third down conversion of Britain strange with Evan

218
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 2: and Brenton in a position that they were not in

219
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 2: as we practiced that, but obviously we didn't have anybody else.

220
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 2: They had to go. They know exactly what to do,

221
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: they understand the concepts. Going back to our work in

222
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: April of we do a lot of this stuff where

223
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 2: we just call concepts no formations and you guys figured

224
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 2: it out and then that work kind of comes in.

225
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: But again, being in a second year, I think obviously

226
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 2: helps Brenton standing next to Evan them talking through the concept,

227
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,760
Speaker 2: Trevor communicating the huddle. There's a lot of those things

228
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 2: that we had confidence in, but obviously to see it

229
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,600
Speaker 2: show up and come to fruition in a critical moment,

230
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,040
Speaker 2: it's a big deal for all of us. Thanks Gus
