WEBVTT - Publix Tailgate Show: RB coach Terry Robiskie

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.560
<v Speaker 1>Oh, he's a pleasure to chat with your coach. Here

0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:05.000
<v Speaker 1>we are a week before, we're in October already. Can

0:00:05.040 --> 0:00:07.800
<v Speaker 1>you believe that? That's hard to believe. But listen, there's

0:00:07.840 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>so many things that have happened this year, in this

0:00:10.840 --> 0:00:13.480
<v Speaker 1>season that's just it's all the imagine. So this is

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.720
<v Speaker 1>another one. We already in October and look like we

0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>got here yesterday. Let's get into your guys this week.

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:20.880
<v Speaker 1>James Robinson, of course, the offensive rookie of the month

0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:23.520
<v Speaker 1>in the NFL. So we had a thirty nine scrimmage yards.

0:00:23.680 --> 0:00:26.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you hear him talk this week and

0:00:26.480 --> 0:00:31.440
<v Speaker 1>he's modest. He's kind of quiet, that's his personality. But

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:33.600
<v Speaker 1>you gotta love it for a kid like this to

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.680
<v Speaker 1>come in and play that well. It's been fun just

0:00:35.760 --> 0:00:37.360
<v Speaker 1>to watch him and to be there with him, to

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>be a part of it, to be a part of

0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.480
<v Speaker 1>that growth, to kind of sit and visit with him

0:00:41.560 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>and be with him in the room. You know, like

0:00:43.320 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I said, he's a very modest kid. You know, he's

0:00:45.479 --> 0:00:47.800
<v Speaker 1>he's he's fought through it a little bit. Uh. You know,

0:00:47.840 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>I was a guy that back in the day that

0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>was it was a twelve round draft The draft was

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:55.440
<v Speaker 1>twelve round and I got picking the eight. So you know,

0:00:55.480 --> 0:00:58.120
<v Speaker 1>I know that, I know that feeling of nobody wanted me,

0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody wanted you. And then I'm at it and I

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.840
<v Speaker 1>think for a guy like that, I could really relate

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:04.640
<v Speaker 1>to him, you know. He you know, he had a

0:01:04.680 --> 0:01:07.560
<v Speaker 1>hell of a senior year, a lot of yard rushing,

0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:11.280
<v Speaker 1>a lot of touchdowns. Uh. You're sitting there thinking, you know,

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:13.360
<v Speaker 1>I'll go to first maybe I'll go the first day,

0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:14.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, Oh no, no, Well maybe I'm gonna go

0:01:14.840 --> 0:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>to second day. Well maybe we're we're in four, maybe

0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:19.440
<v Speaker 1>i'll go in five. And then you don't go, and

0:01:19.480 --> 0:01:21.160
<v Speaker 1>then all of a sudden you're like you're feeling bad.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:22.880
<v Speaker 1>And then you get here and you find out, oh,

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:26.039
<v Speaker 1>you know what, they're just playing football. I could do that,

0:01:26.160 --> 0:01:28.759
<v Speaker 1>you know. And to sit out and watch him every

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:31.760
<v Speaker 1>day just getting more and more comfortable with the system,

0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:34.920
<v Speaker 1>more and more comfortable with what we're doing, and to

0:01:35.000 --> 0:01:38.640
<v Speaker 1>watch him just keep growing and growing. It's fun. It's challenging,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:40.959
<v Speaker 1>and I'm having a good time with it. I'm having

0:01:41.080 --> 0:01:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm having a fun time with it. Uh. We just

0:01:43.440 --> 0:01:46.479
<v Speaker 1>we still got a long ways to go. But It's

0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>just fun watching him develop every week and getting better.

0:01:49.480 --> 0:01:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Terry Robiski with a Jaguars running backs coach, we always hear,

0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:54.760
<v Speaker 1>at least so far earlier in the season, we've heard

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>about his great vision as a running back. Is that

0:01:57.960 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 1>something you can teach a running back is a natural reaction.

0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:04.200
<v Speaker 1>Take us through what that actually means. You always kind

0:02:04.200 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>of give him a direction of what we're trying to do.

0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>You're trying to point out to him. You get with

0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 1>the old line and you kind of sit there and

0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:13.160
<v Speaker 1>you're watching your tape and you kind of tell him

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>where we think it's gonna go. You know, it's one

0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of those you know, hey, if they do this and

0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>do that, we're gonna hit it in the A gap.

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, we're gonna hit the two hole, whatever it is.

0:02:22.680 --> 0:02:25.440
<v Speaker 1>And then something happens, just like I can tell you

0:02:25.520 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>right off the bat, Like we played Indiannapolis here and

0:02:28.639 --> 0:02:31.040
<v Speaker 1>we kind of had one maybe backed up. We ran

0:02:31.639 --> 0:02:34.799
<v Speaker 1>a belly to the left and he stepped up there

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.320
<v Speaker 1>and jumped outside and went for twelve and got us

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.960
<v Speaker 1>the first time, which was big for us at that

0:02:39.040 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>point in time. That's not coachable, you know, and that's

0:02:41.840 --> 0:02:43.600
<v Speaker 1>why I told him the minute he jumped out that

0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>starts screaming, don't go out there, don't go out there.

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 1>Good good job, good job, good job. You know. So

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:50.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's one of those when you tell a guy, uh,

0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>let's don't do this, because more times than not it

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.760
<v Speaker 1>will be a negative play. More time than not, you'll

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.680
<v Speaker 1>lose yours. And then the guys that's got that vision

0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:03.160
<v Speaker 1>that see what you can't see because I'm on the sideline,

0:03:03.240 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>you know. And and even when I get the little

0:03:06.000 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>projected there on the sideline, when I get the little iPad,

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.320
<v Speaker 1>I still can't see it, you know what I mean.

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.240
<v Speaker 1>But something told him it was there. He saw it,

0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>he hit it, he took it, and it works out

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>pretty good. Uh, that's just something we tell him. That's

0:03:17.480 --> 0:03:19.079
<v Speaker 1>just something God gave him. It ain't not nothing to

0:03:19.080 --> 0:03:21.639
<v Speaker 1>do by it. You mentioned it's a long way to go.

0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>What are some things he's working on? What can he

0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.400
<v Speaker 1>improve upon as we move into the second quarter of

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.920
<v Speaker 1>the season. Game. Oh, he just got to continue to

0:03:29.200 --> 0:03:33.080
<v Speaker 1>uh work working like he's working, continue to work hard. Uh.

0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>That's just a bunch of little things that he's got

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:40.200
<v Speaker 1>to get more consistent with his step his footwork. Uh,

0:03:40.320 --> 0:03:42.880
<v Speaker 1>just keep that going. The big thing we emphasize in

0:03:42.920 --> 0:03:45.920
<v Speaker 1>our room is we want to be a north and

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:49.040
<v Speaker 1>south runner. Uh. Let's don't spend too much time east

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and west. You know, it's a north and south game.

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:54.920
<v Speaker 1>He's just got to uh unit talking about his vision.

0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:57.240
<v Speaker 1>He's got to use his vision, but after that, he's

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.440
<v Speaker 1>got to use his feet, you know. And he's got

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>to continue to get down a little bit below and

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>be behind his pad, which is something I emphasized to

0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.560
<v Speaker 1>him every day. We all in professional football and any football,

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>we all got to always continue to work on protecting

0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.000
<v Speaker 1>the football and secure that thing and put that thing

0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>away because that that will cast you the game and

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.240
<v Speaker 1>the heartbeat. And he's just got to continue to work

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:20.840
<v Speaker 1>and work hard on being north and south. And like

0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:24.200
<v Speaker 1>I tell him every time he jumps outside, uh, in practice,

0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.720
<v Speaker 1>I you know, I said, what you're trying to get

0:04:25.720 --> 0:04:28.039
<v Speaker 1>on the ESPN? You know that's an ESPN play, you know?

0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:29.840
<v Speaker 1>And I told him I know that a a little home,

0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, a little hometown you from. I can tell

0:04:32.839 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>the where you talk. You guys probably don't have ESPN,

0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:37.640
<v Speaker 1>I said, but obviously you're trying to you're trying to

0:04:37.640 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>get on the ESPN. You're jumping outside and think you're

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>going for the home run. I just told him, just

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>keep don't ever get tired putting five dollars in the bank.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.120
<v Speaker 1>Don't go get me five yards, go get me five yards.

0:04:47.480 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>And the great thing about it is he here all

0:04:49.360 --> 0:04:52.160
<v Speaker 1>of us said the same thing. Uh. Coach Middleton has

0:04:52.200 --> 0:04:55.120
<v Speaker 1>a big thing that go get what we need and

0:04:55.160 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>then get what you want. And I love it, you know,

0:04:57.520 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>And coach Ron has been coaching for a long time,

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>and I of course Ron tell it to him almost

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 1>every day. You know, go get what we need. We

0:05:03.880 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>need four, go get what we need and then get

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.680
<v Speaker 1>what you want after that, you know. So we just

0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 1>gotta keep going with him and keep him growing. And uh,

0:05:11.279 --> 0:05:12.960
<v Speaker 1>and of course we gotta go win some games. We

0:05:13.000 --> 0:05:15.480
<v Speaker 1>gotta win the game. I love that approach. Coach Cherry

0:05:15.520 --> 0:05:18.359
<v Speaker 1>Robisky with US Jaguars running backs coach. A guy who's

0:05:18.720 --> 0:05:21.040
<v Speaker 1>been a little bit overshadowed this year is Chris Thompson.

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>He was brought in in free agency to kind of

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 1>be that third down type of back. He's he was

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:27.960
<v Speaker 1>just had a role obviously on this team already, but

0:05:28.320 --> 0:05:30.840
<v Speaker 1>as a veteran, I'm sure he understands what's going on

0:05:31.080 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>here and and understands what he can contribute to this

0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>running back room as well. Well, let me see Chris.

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I think Chris found out at an early stage in

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>training camp that James is a lot better past protector

0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:48.240
<v Speaker 1>than Chris is. And Chris. I think Chris had his

0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>uh you know, probably his sister, his aunt, his cousin,

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 1>they all called and told him we saw that linebacker

0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:57.359
<v Speaker 1>run over you on that past protection. So Chris is

0:05:57.400 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>okay with it. You know, he he liked to sit

0:06:00.000 --> 0:06:02.680
<v Speaker 1>and say James a bigger man. Uh. He likes to

0:06:02.680 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>sit on and say James fatter than I am. We

0:06:05.160 --> 0:06:07.440
<v Speaker 1>all say James got a bigger head than Chris gott

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.200
<v Speaker 1>So all those things tie in because James uses them

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.760
<v Speaker 1>all well. And James has certainly become a better pass protector. So, uh,

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.120
<v Speaker 1>some of those things that Chris was brought in to do,

0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>like third down pass protect uh, you know, quick stuff

0:06:20.760 --> 0:06:23.359
<v Speaker 1>out the backfield, James, Uh, Jamimes shown he could do

0:06:23.400 --> 0:06:25.040
<v Speaker 1>some of those, and that pass protec and stuff, he

0:06:25.040 --> 0:06:27.120
<v Speaker 1>can do it better. So I think Chris is okay

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.200
<v Speaker 1>with that. He'd rather James. We we have a pass

0:06:29.240 --> 0:06:31.920
<v Speaker 1>protection in the playbook. That's a free release by the back.

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.479
<v Speaker 1>There's no pick up, no block, free release and go.

0:06:35.520 --> 0:06:38.359
<v Speaker 1>I think Chris want all the those you know, Chris Key,

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 1>Chris keep suggesting, let me get those where I get

0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>a free release, free release and go. So that's the

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:46.800
<v Speaker 1>big thing. Chris is. Chris is a great teammate. He's

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.679
<v Speaker 1>been great in the room. He's been great for James.

0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:51.440
<v Speaker 1>And he's the one guy that talks and communicate with

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 1>James a lot. So he's been he's been phenomenal for James.

0:06:54.839 --> 0:06:58.440
<v Speaker 1>And uh uh he uh he gave him a hug.

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.480
<v Speaker 1>We were sitting in the room the other day. He

0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.120
<v Speaker 1>give him a hug and he said, Hey, I don't

0:07:02.120 --> 0:07:03.920
<v Speaker 1>know what it feels like the hug the rookie of

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:06.640
<v Speaker 1>the month, Let me have a hug. So uh he

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.040
<v Speaker 1>gave him a hug and I had to I had

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.800
<v Speaker 1>to yell at him, but they had their masks on.

0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna yell at him for hugging, and I said,

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 1>you can't hug when you're supposed to be six ft apart.

0:07:15.160 --> 0:07:17.240
<v Speaker 1>But Chris wanted to hug because he'd never been in

0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:18.880
<v Speaker 1>a room with a rookie of the money. I mean

0:07:18.920 --> 0:07:22.560
<v Speaker 1>before but the red light on the tracer probably came on. Yeah,

0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I started beepings. Final thought, whether here coach Denard Robinson

0:07:26.960 --> 0:07:30.080
<v Speaker 1>is on the coaching status here offensive quality control coach,

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.960
<v Speaker 1>part of the minority coaching program in the NFL. I

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.680
<v Speaker 1>know he works with the running backs a lot. I

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.040
<v Speaker 1>see him when the practice field with you guys out there.

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.080
<v Speaker 1>What is he meant to the coaching staff so far?

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:42.320
<v Speaker 1>And what has he done to help those guys in

0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>the running back ro man to help you personally? He's

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:48.480
<v Speaker 1>been okay. It's been good to have him in there. Uh,

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.200
<v Speaker 1>he's been okay. Uh. That's ah, that's a part of him.

0:07:51.200 --> 0:07:53.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a little bit of a pain. Uh. And I

0:07:53.160 --> 0:07:55.520
<v Speaker 1>gotta get on him all the time. I told him

0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>when he walked in the door the first day that

0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, he was bringing negative with him. You know,

0:08:00.360 --> 0:08:03.000
<v Speaker 1>I said, you're coming in and uh, you come from

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.320
<v Speaker 1>that school up north. You know it's a school with

0:08:05.360 --> 0:08:07.600
<v Speaker 1>that him And I was attached to that school with

0:08:07.640 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>that o h I oh, because my son went to

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:12.800
<v Speaker 1>Ohio State, you know. But uh, he wanted to Uh.

0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I think he wanted to stick his chest out and

0:08:15.480 --> 0:08:17.920
<v Speaker 1>make a muscle, you know, and let me know, y'all,

0:08:17.920 --> 0:08:20.720
<v Speaker 1>I went to Michigan. But I think uh, after I

0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:22.280
<v Speaker 1>told him my son and him had beat him at

0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:25.559
<v Speaker 1>that time, they'd beat Michigan like seven games straight, seven

0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.720
<v Speaker 1>years in the row. I think that made him sit

0:08:27.800 --> 0:08:30.680
<v Speaker 1>on and shut up, you know. But he's been really

0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:33.240
<v Speaker 1>good for the guys. He's been really really good for them.

0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:36.520
<v Speaker 1>I like my room to be loose. I like guys

0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:39.760
<v Speaker 1>to h focus on what we're doing from a football standpoint,

0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.640
<v Speaker 1>but also to be loose and relax and let's enjoy

0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:45.320
<v Speaker 1>the game. And the North has been phenomenal for that.

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:49.320
<v Speaker 1>They sit down and have the youthful conversation about this

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>rapper or that rapper, and uh, you know he he

0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:55.760
<v Speaker 1>uses some of that street link well to get some

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.640
<v Speaker 1>point across and uh and at the same time, he's

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>been able to better them the straight than I have.

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.679
<v Speaker 1>Uh you know, how to plant on this cut off

0:09:03.679 --> 0:09:05.800
<v Speaker 1>of this and you know what's gonna happen with this,

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:08.360
<v Speaker 1>what's gonna happen with that. So he's been he's been

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a blessing for us in our room. The young guys

0:09:10.840 --> 0:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>enjoy him to enjoy him being in the back and uh,

0:09:13.880 --> 0:09:15.480
<v Speaker 1>they have a good time with it. The only thing

0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>I've got to get out of him. And I know

0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm a little older than him, and I've already told

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:20.680
<v Speaker 1>him I'm gonna slapping one day' gonna lap the hell

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>out of him. Really, because we're sitting in the room,

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:26.680
<v Speaker 1>and I have a tendency the extra question, you know,

0:09:26.720 --> 0:09:29.760
<v Speaker 1>and I might ask it like sideways to put a

0:09:29.760 --> 0:09:31.560
<v Speaker 1>guy in a position like why did you do that?

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.960
<v Speaker 1>That's that's dumb. I can't believe it. Even though I

0:09:34.040 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>know he did the right thing. I want him to

0:09:36.400 --> 0:09:38.640
<v Speaker 1>explain to me why he did that, you know. And

0:09:38.720 --> 0:09:41.560
<v Speaker 1>the minute I said that, you know, the no oh no, no, no,

0:09:41.600 --> 0:09:44.200
<v Speaker 1>cause you're wrong. You're wrong, You're wrong. I know I'm wrong.

0:09:44.280 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Shut up and be quiet, you know. So we got

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of that going on. But he's been

0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:50.439
<v Speaker 1>good and we're enjoying it. We're having a good time

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>with him in the wrong
