WEBVTT - Trevor Lawrence and the “Three P’s” 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:06.479 And now Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 0:00:06.960 --> 0:00:07.720 What's up? Everybody? 0:00:07.800 --> 0:00:10.120 Welcome to move the sticks? DJ, Buck with you, Buck? 0:00:10.160 --> 0:00:11.320 What is going on? Man? 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:12.440 Not too much, DJ. 0:00:13.360 --> 0:00:15.079 This is a great opportunity for us to have a 0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.680 little pot that'll be a little Bucky and Jaguar centric. 0:00:18.760 --> 0:00:21.160 As we talked about the three piece, and I got 0:00:21.160 --> 0:00:24.759 to tell you, I wrote an article this week on 0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.120 the Jags, namely Trevor Lawrence and how the Jazz can 0:00:28.120 --> 0:00:30.400 get them up and going, and I have to ship like, 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:31.880 I got a lot of notes and a lot of 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.680 commentary on the three piece, but I was like, Hey, 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:35.720 I can't take that. That's a move the sticks thing. 0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:38.480 That's something that we created here. That's not a Blucky thing. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.319 We have talked about that, And as we get into 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:43.239 this little thing on the Jaguars and how they can 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.239 get Trevor Lawrence up and going, I wanted to make 0:00:45.240 --> 0:00:47.920 sure that everyone knew that, Look, that is something that 0:00:47.920 --> 0:00:50.720 we've talked about on this podcast forever in terms of 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:52.120 how to get a young quarterback up and going. 0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:55.040 Yeah, I feel like some of the things we've trademarked 0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.800 over the years, the three pots with trademark trucks and trailers. 0:00:58.840 --> 0:01:01.960 Definitely to revisit trucks and trailers. By the way, that 0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.280 could be a fun little offseason project for us. Identify 0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.840 some of the some of the true trucks in the NFL, 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:10.520 and then maybe some guys that are trailers wanting to 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:13.120 become trucks. That's a fun little assignment for us. But 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:16.520 take us behind the curtain here, buck on what you learned. 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.360 So one of the things that you know is buzzing 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.160 around the league like Trevor Lawrence. And I think the 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:26.680 reason why Trevor Lawrence's name it list is such a 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:29.760 strong responses. Trevor Lawrence signed a five year, two hundred 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:32.039 and seventy five million dollars deal. He was the number 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:35.000 one overall pick, and I mean going back to his 0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:39.280 freshman year at Clemson, he was hailed as a generational talent. 0:01:39.560 --> 0:01:43.000 When he selected number one overall, people are still waiting 0:01:43.040 --> 0:01:45.960 to see him be the general rational talent. That mean 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.400 he hyped him up to be entering the draft and 0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.880 coming into the league and so he has had a 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.040 bit of a topsy turvy career in Jacksonville. Some of 0:01:55.040 --> 0:01:57.920 that is because he's on his fourth dad coach in 0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:00.880 his career, and he flashed you saw we saw the 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:03.680 playoff game in twenty twenty two when they came back 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.920 and knocked off the Chargers won a wild card game 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:08.800 and move forward. But it's been a lot of ups 0:02:08.840 --> 0:02:11.320 and downs with his career, and so now Liam Cohen 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:14.400 is hired, James Glastone, the general manager, comes over, Tony 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:17.760 Boselli is elevated to EVP, and so they're trying to 0:02:17.800 --> 0:02:21.760 figure out how do they unlock this player that we've 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:24.160 talked about for so long in terms of being talented, 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.600 and then going to Jacksonville recently and then looking at 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:29.960 the team and the moves that they've done. To me, 0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.320 it was a reminded what we've always talked about, the 0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:36.080 three p's and what's necessary to get a young player going. 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.720 And so I'm gonna let you remind the people what 0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:40.680 the three p's are and then I will feel them 0:02:40.680 --> 0:02:43.880 in on how the Jacksonville Jaguars have used those tenants 0:02:44.360 --> 0:02:47.040 to really set Trevor Lawrence U for success going forward. 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.680 If I remember correctly, I think the first time we 0:02:51.440 --> 0:02:55.160 discussed this was when Sean McVay had got to the 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:58.720 Rams with Jared Goff, and we saw turnaround happen with 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:00.959 Jared Goff and we're trying to figure this thing out 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.200 on what all happened, and we came up with the 0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.560 three p's, which were as a quarterback. And it used 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:07.760 to say, okay, but this is a young quarterback. Now, 0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.760 just for any quarterback to be successful, you need to 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:13.200 have right play caller, you need to have some protection 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.520 up front, and you need to have some playmakers. It's 0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:17.639 a very simple way of looking at it. But there's 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:18.760 a lot of truth in there. 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.280 There's a lot of truth in there. And so it's 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.840 funny that I didn't remember if it was Sean McVay 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:25.679 or not. That kind of was like the origin of 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.680 where we talked the genesis, where we talked about it. 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.360 But I think it's great that that is the case 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:33.120 because with Liam Cohin, I think Liam Cohn is uniquely 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.760 qualified to do it. Liam Cohn was a long time 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.360 assistant coach for the La Rams, and when you think 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.600 about the La Rams, I'm gonna drive this parallel in 0:03:41.680 --> 0:03:43.640 terms of Liam Cohn's experience and. 0:03:43.560 --> 0:03:44.920 How it works with Trevor Lawrence. 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.040 So for the La Rams, it was Sean McVay helping 0:03:48.120 --> 0:03:51.000 Jerrett Goff get up and going former number one overall 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:54.920 pick didn't go well early with Jeff Fisher, Sean McVay 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.920 finds a way to really help him become not only 0:03:58.000 --> 0:03:59.920 a Pro Bowl quarterback, but a guy that goes to 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:05.000 a Super Bowl based on his improvement under his tulitis tutelage. 0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:06.520 Later, the La. 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:09.600 Rams win a Super Bowl with a former number one 0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:13.120 overall pick and Matthew Stafford. Liam Cohen had been elevated 0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.440 to like office of coordinat had been around, so he 0:04:15.560 --> 0:04:18.800 saw that development and growth. Liam goes on his own 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:22.120 after a stopping Kentucky and Lance in Tampa, where he 0:04:22.160 --> 0:04:26.200 has another number one overall pick in Baker Mayfield, who 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:30.160 has a career year in Tampa under his watch. So 0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:34.039 when you think about one coach who's been around three 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:37.480 number one overall picks who have all played well within 0:04:37.520 --> 0:04:41.680 a system or within a certain direction, you think, hey, 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.120 if he can take all those lessons and deal with 0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:45.839 another number one overall pick. 0:04:45.680 --> 0:04:47.880 In Trevor Lawrence, it should play out well. 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:51.520 So because of the experience and because of watching someone 0:04:51.560 --> 0:04:54.960 who is super talented in Matthew Stafford, someone who's a 0:04:54.960 --> 0:04:56.320 bit of an underdog. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:58.400 In Baker Mayfield, but he really made. 0:04:58.160 --> 0:05:00.800 Him play at a higher level, and then Jerry Golf 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.760 who kind of falls somewhere in between. Liam Cohen has 0:05:03.800 --> 0:05:06.400 the ability to draw on a lot of different experiences 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.480 to use the right tools to help Trevor Lawrence go 0:05:09.560 --> 0:05:12.840 to the next level. And as we talk about tactics 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:16.599 and strategies in those things, those things are involved, but 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.200 it's also the one on one relationship where you buy 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.279 that you get the trust and the buy in from 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:24.200 the player to believe that the things that you're saying are. 0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:25.000 Going to be successful. 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:27.279 Well, Liam Cohen can point to a bunch of guys 0:05:27.480 --> 0:05:30.520 in similar situations who've had a lot of success following 0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:31.240 this blueprint. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.680 So that's going to lead me to this next point here, 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.160 it's time for Hot or Not, brought to you by 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:39.400 with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage. So if we start with 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.680 that first p, then Buck and you look at where 0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:44.360 they are, and you just gave the resume of Liam Coleman, 0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.640 why that should be a good fit to handle that 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:49.640 pee in terms of the play caller who's done it 0:05:49.680 --> 0:05:52.080 with a bunch of different quarterbacks and has been able 0:05:52.120 --> 0:05:54.000 to elevate their play. I feel like they're in a 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.000 good spot with that pe if we were then go 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.839 through the rest of the process here where they stack 0:05:59.880 --> 0:06:01.920 up right now where they are in Jacksonville. Well, the 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.680 fun part is to talk about the playmakers. 0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.839 And I have likened this Jaguars team in a bunch 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:08.800 of different ways to the Rams. Now there are people 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:10.360 come from the Rams, so a lot of the things 0:06:10.400 --> 0:06:13.560 that you do culturally is very close or reminiscent of 0:06:13.560 --> 0:06:16.159 what the Rams have done to be a very successful program. 0:06:16.400 --> 0:06:18.760 But when I look at this team offensively, they remind 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:22.320 me of those early Rams teams when you had Robert 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:26.200 Woods and Cooper Cup and Brendan Cooks, guys that were fast, dynamic, 0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:29.359 They were interchangeable, but they had big playability. When I 0:06:29.360 --> 0:06:32.479 look at this current iteration of the Jaguars receivers, I 0:06:32.520 --> 0:06:35.440 see Brian Thomas Junior, who had looked by far the 0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:40.159 best rookie season of all the wideouts given his dynamic effects, 0:06:40.160 --> 0:06:43.200 his impact, and really the big plays he produced as 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:46.560 a rookie. You now bring in the number two overall 0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:49.280 pick in Travis Hunter, who is a dynamic player in 0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.080 his own right. You add an explosive element in Deyanmi 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.200 Brown for the Washington Commanders, who really began to scratch 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.320 some of the potential, show some of the potential and 0:06:59.360 --> 0:07:02.080 the postseason of what he can do. Now this is 0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:07.240 a faster, more dynamic supporting cast around Trevor Lawrence. 0:07:07.480 --> 0:07:09.320 So you not only have the ability to push the 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:10.680 ball down the field. 0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:13.880 Which plays to Trevor Lawrence's strength, but now the horizontal game, 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.120 the catch and run things that we saw the Rams 0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:19.600 do in those early years, those early days with Jared Goff, 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.200 you can implement some of those things. And with a 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.880 tied end like Brenton Strange being able to control the middle, 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.280 this offense is more dynamic, but there are more ways 0:07:28.280 --> 0:07:30.320 that they can attack while making the game very very 0:07:30.400 --> 0:07:31.520 easy for the quarterback. 0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:35.920 Everybody's hunting explosives and they've added man over the last 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.400 couple of years. They've built a real explosive unit there, 0:07:38.400 --> 0:07:40.520 a core of guys, and I think that does take 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:42.640 care of that p I think they're in pretty good 0:07:42.680 --> 0:07:44.600 shape there when you look at those playmakers. By the way, 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:46.360 that was this week's Hot or Not segment, brought to 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.000 you by with Sabi Hot Cloud Storage store more and 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.040 do more with your data. Try them for free at 0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:54.160 Withsabi dot com. So if we're going to say we're 0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.960 comfortable where they are with a play caller, they've got 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.440 a dynamic, explosive group around him in terms of some 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:04.520 skill set players to help elevate Trevor Lawrence. This is 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.200 where the rubber meets the road for me, and I'm 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:10.720 curious as someone who's close to the situation, has that 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.800 even been there in the spring and seen these guys 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.880 past protection? Where are we at here? 0:08:15.960 --> 0:08:19.120 Buck? We know DJ, We've talked about it. 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:21.320 There are two ways that you can go about approaching 0:08:21.360 --> 0:08:24.440 to the offensive line. We can use the no Tomato 0:08:24.520 --> 0:08:28.000 can process where A it's not necessarily about having the 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:30.040 high end guys all over, but it's making sure that 0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:32.960 we minimize the deficiencies that you have on the lot. 0:08:33.240 --> 0:08:36.000 So you may not have all great players, but if 0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:39.360 you have good and solid players, you can get it done. 0:08:39.600 --> 0:08:42.560 I believe the Jaguars have opted for that because there's 0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:44.160 a lot of conversations like a, should they go and 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:44.880 get a high end guy? 0:08:44.920 --> 0:08:46.600 Where should they use an O line guide? 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:48.679 They used a first round pick a year ago or 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:51.400 a couple of years ago, on Anton Harrison, but they 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:53.680 have elected to kind of try and put it together 0:08:53.720 --> 0:08:57.559 to eliminate the deficiencies on the offensive line. Six new 0:08:57.600 --> 0:09:02.800 faces amongst the offensive line to you compete for some 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.920 spots that are available. You have Walker Little, who's a returner. 0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.160 You then you look on the other side. You have 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:11.560 Anton Harrison, you have Ezra Cleveland. But by no means 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.640 are any of those guaranteed an opportunity to start. You 0:09:14.720 --> 0:09:18.000 bring six new guys in from all different walks of life. 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:23.400 Patrick Mharrie comes from the Baltimore Ravens, Robert Hainsey, Chimmiandoka 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:26.520 Fred Johnson. You have two draft picks and Whyt Mullum 0:09:26.640 --> 0:09:29.680 and Jonah Monham Monham and you put those guys in 0:09:29.720 --> 0:09:32.160 there and you let them compete. And what I would 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.559 say is different. A lot of times people talk about 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:37.440 a competition, but it's not really a competition. We already 0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.679 have the depth chart drawn up in the office cause 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:41.640 we know, hey, this is probably how it's gonna start. 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.600 We're gonna tell them on the field that's a competition, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:45.839 but this is where we're gonna get to. But each 0:09:45.960 --> 0:09:47.240 I can tell you they're really going to have a 0:09:47.240 --> 0:09:50.400 competition because no one really knows who that's starting five 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.840 is going to be. And you like to talk about 0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:56.760 competition raising the level of play throughout the building. This 0:09:56.800 --> 0:09:58.960 is an opportunity for the group to get better because 0:09:59.000 --> 0:10:01.880 it is a very editive environment and no one really 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.760 knows who's going to get those those final chairs in 0:10:05.080 --> 0:10:06.280 the game of musical chairs. 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.640 So if we use the scale that we've talked about 0:10:08.640 --> 0:10:12.280 on here before, uh, the one that that the grading 0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:15.080 scale that we had on on the Ravens, which is 0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:17.679 kind of a scouting system that's kind of made its 0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:19.240 way around a lot of the NFL. But we talked 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:22.080 about three to seven. Right, five is dead average, six 0:10:22.120 --> 0:10:25.680 above average, seven excellent, you know, four below average, three poor. 0:10:26.200 --> 0:10:27.719 If I'm going to grade them, which would be a 0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:29.360 fun assignment. By the way, if you're listening to this, 0:10:29.440 --> 0:10:31.040 take your team and run them through this on the 0:10:31.040 --> 0:10:33.600 three piece with that scale. If I'm going to go 0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:37.520 play caller, I'm probably gonna go a six on Liam Cohen. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.720 You know what, the recent success that he's had and 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:41.920 I like who he's learned under, So I'm gonna give 0:10:41.960 --> 0:10:45.319 him a six on that three to seven scale. Playmakers 0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.760 around him I'm gonna go I mean, I could probably 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:49.960 fudge and say six plus. 0:10:50.040 --> 0:10:50.640 I mean I could. 0:10:50.920 --> 0:10:52.400 I don't know if I'm gonna get to seven, but 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.280 they got a chance, they have a chance to be 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.160 a seven. But I'm gonna keep them at a six 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:57.720 for now. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:10:58.800 But that's that's. 0:10:58.600 --> 0:11:01.280 Plenty good enough. And then when you get to the 0:11:01.559 --> 0:11:06.760 pass protection, I'm probably going to be optimistic five, optimistic five. 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.320 But I would say if the play callers could trend 0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:13.000 six north, I would say pass protection could be five south. 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.559 Like that, I think at the end of the year 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:16.959 we're going to be talking about this pass protection as 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:18.800 a four or a five. I don't know if they're 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.680 good enough to be a six, but I think the 0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:22.640 playmakers could be a six or a seven. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:25.800 And so the thing that you and I know and 0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.360 watching a bunch of ball, the play call and the 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:31.680 playmakers can make the protectors so much better. Right, there's 0:11:31.720 --> 0:11:34.000 a way that you can call the game that limits 0:11:34.040 --> 0:11:36.960 the exposure that the offensive line faces from the defense. 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:39.320 Whether that's more quick game, whether it's catchup run. 0:11:39.280 --> 0:11:42.440 Concepts, whether that is doing a bunch of different things 0:11:42.800 --> 0:11:45.440 moving the launch point, so the defense never really knows 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.560 where the quarterback is going to be There are things 0:11:47.600 --> 0:11:50.560 that the play caller can do to really enhance and 0:11:50.600 --> 0:11:53.240 protect the protectors. But at the end of the day, 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.840 when you look at the Jaguars, the offensive line is 0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:58.320 really where the rubber Mester road and where it's going 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.520 to be sided. How good they are are offensively. If 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.000 they're solid, meaning if they just play at a five level, 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:05.960 this seemed to be good enough to get to the 0:12:06.000 --> 0:12:08.640 ten win mark because the offensive weapons on a perimeter 0:12:09.000 --> 0:12:11.840 are legit. But if the offensive line doesn't play well, 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:13.640 they don't have a chance to be able to to 0:12:13.679 --> 0:12:15.640 be able to get it done. So we could talk 0:12:15.679 --> 0:12:19.200 about the play call and the playmakers, but ultimately their 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:21.679 fate will be decided on how to protect his play 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:23.880 at the line of scrimmage. But that's a lot of 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:26.040 teams in the National Football League. The old line played 0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:27.839 matters and you have to pay close attention to it. 0:12:28.520 --> 0:12:29.360 Yeah, so how would you. 0:12:29.360 --> 0:12:32.719 I'm gonna put your coaches hat on, Buck, and I'm 0:12:32.720 --> 0:12:35.160 gonna tell you right now, you're gonna play the Houston Texans, 0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:37.120 and you're gonna line up and you're gonna see Danil 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.959 Hunter on one side. You're gonna look over to the 0:12:39.960 --> 0:12:42.040 other side, and you're gonna go, oh crap. It only 0:12:42.040 --> 0:12:44.320 gets worse from there. Will Anderson's on the opposite side. 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.520 We've got de Nico Autry, who's gonna roll through there. 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.080 They signed Darryl Taylor. That's a lot of dudes with 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:53.040 a lot of juice coming at you off the edge. 0:12:53.679 --> 0:12:55.560 If you're gonna put on that play caller, you know 0:12:55.600 --> 0:12:59.719 about all those playmakers you've got, what's the best way 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:00.760 to try neutralize that? 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.040 Look, man, I think the ball is going to have 0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:04.760 to come out, and I think what you're gonna have 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:05.520 to rely on. 0:13:05.520 --> 0:13:07.280 Is you're going to have to rely on your ability 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:07.839 to get in. 0:13:08.200 --> 0:13:09.640 I'm telling you, man, if you go back and look 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:12.240 at the twenty seventeen, eighteen nineteen Rams when they got 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:15.679 in those tight, clustered alignments, and it prevented you from 0:13:15.679 --> 0:13:17.559 really putting your hands on the receiver, so you never 0:13:17.559 --> 0:13:18.920 can neutralize your speed. 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:20.760 To me, I think it stars there. 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:23.679 How can I create different ways to get free access 0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:27.040 for my playmakers, because the belief in the building has 0:13:27.080 --> 0:13:29.480 to be that our playmakers are better than your defenders. 0:13:29.480 --> 0:13:31.400 But we got to find a way to protect the 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:33.959 quarterbacks that we can get to them. I think condensed 0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:36.720 and cluster formations, lots of motion to keep them on 0:13:36.760 --> 0:13:39.439 the move, and then it's going to be about how 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:41.360 can we find a way to put the best five 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:43.960 out there. In my estimation, I would think that like 0:13:44.000 --> 0:13:47.400 Walker Little and Anton Harrison, I get purse bited the apple, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:48.960 but they got to be able to hold up in 0:13:49.000 --> 0:13:52.160 one on one situations because in a perfect world, you 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:54.360 want to get all five out in the route and 0:13:54.400 --> 0:13:56.520 you want the quarterback to be able to have all 0:13:56.520 --> 0:13:58.760 the weapons out there so we can utilize it. But 0:13:58.800 --> 0:14:01.960 it puts more on sixteen to identify where the pressure 0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.600 is coming from and to get the ball out. So 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.760 as much as I talk about the protection, can number 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:12.640 sixteen beat defensive coordinators with his mind by understanding where 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:15.120 the pressure is coming from and knowing where I got 0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.679 to get the ball out to allow my playmakers to 0:14:17.720 --> 0:14:19.360 do where they do really real in space. 0:14:20.120 --> 0:14:22.120 All right, last question for you here, and again this 0:14:22.240 --> 0:14:24.600 was a quick one today, just tackling this issue, and 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:27.240 you can find this article on NFL dot com where 0:14:27.240 --> 0:14:30.800 Bucky jumped into this. We've talked about some of the 0:14:30.800 --> 0:14:34.000 different things that we've coined on our show over the years. 0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:38.360 Three p's tractors and trailers. No tomato cans. You mentioned 0:14:38.360 --> 0:14:38.960 that one as well. 0:14:39.040 --> 0:14:39.880 Three those are three. 0:14:39.960 --> 0:14:42.080 I mean we should copyright all these, right, those are. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:42.520 Three of them. 0:14:42.800 --> 0:14:46.840 The fourth one is the confetti tests. We've always talked 0:14:46.840 --> 0:14:49.240 about the confetti test on the show. Can you envision 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:51.640 a world where you know, right place has got to 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:54.800 be in place? But is Trevor Lawrence good enough to 0:14:54.880 --> 0:14:57.440 be standing there as the confetti falls from the ceiling 0:14:57.760 --> 0:14:59.920 for him to be a Super Bowl winning quarterback? 0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:01.880 Yeah, because he has a couple of things that you 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:02.160 have to have. 0:15:02.440 --> 0:15:04.000 He has the talent and he has the character. 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.640 The talent is it means like, look, he's the first 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:08.000 round over our pick for a reason. 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:11.040 You don't see people that size, that arm, that athleticism 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:11.600 that can do it. 0:15:11.800 --> 0:15:14.440 But from a character's standpoint, I think he matches the 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.280 tests in terms of his football character, his work ethic. 0:15:17.200 --> 0:15:18.360 His leadership ability. 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:22.000 Now, I would say that I would say that if 0:15:22.040 --> 0:15:24.560 we're looking at the way the team has to be constructed, 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:28.560 I think more Jerret Golf than Matthew Stafford in terms 0:15:28.600 --> 0:15:31.480 of protecting with the schematics to be able to get 0:15:31.480 --> 0:15:33.840 it done. I feel like Matthew Stafford, you can drop 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.560 in any system and it works. I don't see Trevor 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:38.960 in that, but I see Trevor as good enough to 0:15:39.040 --> 0:15:42.160 have the confetti fall on his shoulders if put in 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:45.040 the right system, which I think he's in, surrounded by 0:15:45.080 --> 0:15:47.680 the right players, which is certainly there. That to me 0:15:48.000 --> 0:15:49.880 is a recipe for success. So I'm excited to see 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:50.480 what it looks like. 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.800 You've mentioned this before, and I think you might even 0:15:52.800 --> 0:15:54.400 have said this when we were chatting with our buddy 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.800 John Gordon about the importance of confidence with Trevor. Like 0:15:59.120 --> 0:16:01.320 we can talk about the three p's, we can talk 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:04.040 about building the team around him and putting him in 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.360 a position where he can be successful. I think, more 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.200 than anything else for him and the Jags buck if 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:11.960 he can get to the starting pistol with with a 0:16:12.000 --> 0:16:14.120 lot of confidence and a lot of belief not only 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.800 in his coaches and his players around him, but in himself, 0:16:16.840 --> 0:16:18.720 more than anything else, I think that's going to be 0:16:18.720 --> 0:16:20.360 the driver whether this thing works or not. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:21.080 Yeah. 0:16:21.080 --> 0:16:22.800 Look, I think a lot of it is like the 0:16:22.840 --> 0:16:26.880 intrinsically motivated, the confidence that comes inside, But I believe 0:16:26.880 --> 0:16:27.640 it's different than that. 0:16:28.120 --> 0:16:28.680 No matter what. 0:16:28.960 --> 0:16:32.359 And we've heard Tom Creane talk about this on podcasts 0:16:32.480 --> 0:16:36.200 in the past in terms of like, if the team 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.640 feels like the coach truly believes in them, the players 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:40.920 will play for him. 0:16:40.920 --> 0:16:43.320 It's still like middle school football, right. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.720 If they feel like the coach really believes in them, 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:47.840 they're gonna get ice cream sandwiches at the end, They're 0:16:47.840 --> 0:16:48.480 gonna play hard. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:50.720 To me, I feel like this is basic of that. 0:16:51.320 --> 0:16:54.320 If Trevor Lawrence really feels like Liam Cohen is doing 0:16:54.360 --> 0:16:56.720 the best for him, believes in him and believes that 0:16:56.800 --> 0:16:59.920 he's his guy, he's gonna raise his game up. 0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:01.640 And I think that's it. 0:17:01.720 --> 0:17:05.199 So that's why that relationship, that communication that they have, 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:08.600 more importantly, the belief, the connectivity, the trust that they 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:11.760 have in one another will ultimately determine the success. 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:13.919 If number sixteen believes. 0:17:13.520 --> 0:17:17.080 That the head coach sees him as his guy, then 0:17:17.119 --> 0:17:19.040 he's gonna play at another level. And so I think 0:17:19.119 --> 0:17:20.800 that is the thing. And so over the course of 0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:23.440 training camp in preseason is going to be really important 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.359 for Liam and Trevor to get that relationship that bond 0:17:26.440 --> 0:17:30.360 established because if number fifteen, number sixteen feels like them 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.800 coin is that battery pack in his back. He's gonna 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:34.560
