I mean listen, and 30 00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:39,280 Speaker 1: we were two and six at one point, we were 31 00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:41,880 Speaker 1: three and seven at one point, and you know, there's 32 00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: a there's a time and a place where I felt like, 33 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,560 Speaker 1: you know, as you message message the football team, it's 34 00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 1: you know, our our goals were still in front of us, 35 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,600 Speaker 1: even even back then, you know, and look we were 36 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 1: everybody in the division was chasing Tennessee. I mean they 37 00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,040 Speaker 1: were three or four games ahead of everybody, you know 38 00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,960 Speaker 1: there for a long time. And and I just had 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: to make sure that our guys understood that everything is 40 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,520 Speaker 1: still in front of us. We just gotta play one 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: game at a time and just just focus on that 42 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,720 Speaker 1: one week. And you know, if we did that, it 43 00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:11,119 Speaker 1: would give us an opportunity to to be in Week 44 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: eight team. For you know, for all the for all 45 00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: the marble you've talked about this being a young team 46 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: that needed these kinds of experiences. Can you learn as 47 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,519 Speaker 1: much about your team through the week, how they prepare 48 00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,519 Speaker 1: for this game as you can on Saturday night? Yes 49 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: you can. Um, you know, these are you know, these 50 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 1: are games that um, I mean they're playoff games, right, 51 00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:34,320 Speaker 1: I mean that's just what exactly what they do is 52 00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:36,160 Speaker 1: call it what it is, a playoff football game. And 53 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 1: you win, you keep going, and you know, with a 54 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,880 Speaker 1: young football team, it's about how we handle the week, 55 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,079 Speaker 1: you know, because the emotions are going to run high 56 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: and and you just gotta you just gotta just kind 57 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,239 Speaker 1: of pace yourself throughout the course of the week and 58 00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 1: and just turn it loose, you know, Saturday night. But um, 59 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think the guys have have 60 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: really and felt that they've done a really good job 61 00:02:57,680 --> 00:02:59,560 Speaker 1: the last couple of days, you know, handling all that. 62 00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: This time of year, teams are beat up. Everybody kind 63 00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: of knows who each other is as a football team. 64 00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: How much does I mean, being hot momentum this time 65 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:11,919 Speaker 1: of year and confidence really be the difference in a 66 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: football game. I mean it it's good to talk about, 67 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,280 Speaker 1: but you still gotta go play, and you gotta play 68 00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:22,800 Speaker 1: against a good football team and momentum streaks, wins, losses, whatever, 69 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, you just look at Tennessee 70 00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: right there there in this game for a reason, and 71 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 1: they're they're playing for the same things we're playing for 72 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,600 Speaker 1: and and it's a little bit different. But you know, 73 00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, you know you, Uh, you come out, 74 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: you come out Saturday night. You gotta be ready to 75 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: go and and you gotta play, and you gotta play 76 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:47,000 Speaker 1: with energy. You gotta play um, you know, excitable, You 77 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,400 Speaker 1: just gotta you gotta do your job and and focus 78 00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 1: in on on each play day regardless of the circumstances. 79 00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:55,680 Speaker 1: Five game, losing Street, four game, moving street, that you 80 00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 1: were the same every day. Uh, did you take solace 81 00:03:59,240 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 1: back even to was the end of October in the 82 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: way the team was handling the losing street, because it 83 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 1: did seem that there wasn't any sense of panic. While 84 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 1: there was some frustration over not winning those close games 85 00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:15,680 Speaker 1: they there was there seemed to be a maturity about 86 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: the team in handling the adverse circumstances. Yeah, you know, 87 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: you credit the leadership of the locker room, right, the 88 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:25,360 Speaker 1: veteran guys and and and some of those guys are young, 89 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:29,240 Speaker 1: but their their veteran players. And I think that and 90 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:32,880 Speaker 1: just you know, coming to work every day and again, 91 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: creating an environment where guys enjoy coming to work, Um, 92 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,720 Speaker 1: you know, means a lot. And you just kind of 93 00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 1: stay the course and you never get too high, you 94 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,400 Speaker 1: never get too low. You just you just be you 95 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: and and you know, be consistent. And you know, you 96 00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 1: worked through a lot of the situations that that caused 97 00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 1: us to lose some of those close games earlier in 98 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,120 Speaker 1: the season, and you you learn from them. You know, 99 00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: we've talked a lot about that this season. You learn 100 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920 Speaker 1: from him and and um, you know, you get two 101 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,719 Speaker 1: moments like this and and you just lean on each 102 00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: other and lean on lean on those moments and remember 103 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 1: how you know, difficult it was back then, but um, 104 00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:14,960 Speaker 1: kind of how exciting it is, you know, this time 105 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:19,880 Speaker 1: of year, and how it can flip that easy. Generally speaking, 106 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 1: how much do you feel like the your game plan 107 00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,400 Speaker 1: on defense changes with Joshua Dobbs as a quarterback as 108 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:35,200 Speaker 1: opposed to TANNAHI you want me to just lay it 109 00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 1: out there, just throw it out there. Yeah, what's the 110 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 1: game plan? No, I mean, listen, it's you know, I 111 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 1: would say, you know, you know, and Ryan too at 112 00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:46,360 Speaker 1: the time was coming off an injury, you know, And 113 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,880 Speaker 1: and so he didn't move around quite as quite as 114 00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,160 Speaker 1: well I think, or as good as he he would 115 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 1: like to. Um. And and and Ryan's dangerous that way. 116 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: He can he can beat you, you know, and in 117 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,840 Speaker 1: crease some explosive plays with his legs, and and and 118 00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 1: Josh can do the same thing, you know, he he 119 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:07,320 Speaker 1: can he can uh, he can run, he can escape 120 00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,560 Speaker 1: the pocket. I mean, so there's some similarities there, Um 121 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: that you have to if you're gonna you know, let's 122 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: say you're gonna gang up and try to stop the run, 123 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:18,360 Speaker 1: well you know, you're gonna give something up as well, 124 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: you know. And and some of that sometimes could be 125 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: the quarterback. And so you know, it's what are you 126 00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: gonna try to take away or what do you at least, 127 00:06:25,839 --> 00:06:28,640 Speaker 1: you know, be consistent in as you play this football game. 128 00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,320 Speaker 1: And that's why each game is a different game. There's 129 00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,520 Speaker 1: a different set of circumstances each week. And and um, 130 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: you know, our guys, uh, you know, our guys have 131 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: got to be prepared for for anything. You've been runs 132 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: a long time, uniquecause as we've been emotionally for everybody 133 00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: in the building. Locker room coaches included in how had 134 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: you guys handled that emotional roller coaster at this point? 135 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: You know, it's a it's a it's a difficult week, um, 136 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: just knowing what what has happened this week, you know, 137 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 1: with Tamar and and you know, we're encouraged and and uh, 138 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,240 Speaker 1: you know some of the news it's lately with his 139 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,680 Speaker 1: health and he's getting better and he's improving, and so 140 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:11,680 Speaker 1: we're encouraged there and we're excited about that, and we 141 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 1: continue to pray and you know, lift him up in 142 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: our thoughts and you know, but I think I think 143 00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 1: for us to we have a job to do, you know, 144 00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 1: and I think sometimes the the best thing you can 145 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,720 Speaker 1: do is kind of play for guys like tamor you know, 146 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,280 Speaker 1: and and really gained some strength from that and kind 147 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,560 Speaker 1: of help him in a way, you know, Um that 148 00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,040 Speaker 1: he can't right now because he's he's battling for his 149 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: for his life. Obviously we're playing a game, but he's 150 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,480 Speaker 1: fighting for a different reason.

When gets right down to it, the 172 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: issue short, we it's set earlier and you don't have 173 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: to travel so in the end, you think it really 174 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 1: is gonna matter all that much out com I mean, 175 00:09:04,080 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: it's not traveling. Yeah, you're not traveling, and you know 176 00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,920 Speaker 1: you're you know, you still have it's a long day, 177 00:09:10,200 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: you know. Um, it is a long day, you know. 178 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:15,160 Speaker 1: But still it is nice that you're you're playing at home, 179 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: you know. And and again it's your your crowd and everything. 180 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: Probably at the end of the day, it doesn't really matter, 181 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: you know, once you tee it up. It doesn't matter 182 00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,679 Speaker 1: if you're on a ten day break or you know, 183 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: four or five day breaks. So you know, you still 184 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: gotta go play and create energy and play with great 185 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 1: passion and and um, do your job and try to 186 00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: win the game about you know, especially with Travis letting 187 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,599 Speaker 1: you kind of play through those funebles showing you and 188 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:39,280 Speaker 1: you've got a confidence getting them out there. And when 189 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: you get to the playoffs, every one always says those 190 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: turning the man line. So is that more of a 191 00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: downt the balance for you? You know it is there 192 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:49,240 Speaker 1: are magnified. But listen, you know, I'm not gonna change 193 00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:51,439 Speaker 1: who we are. I'm not going to change the way 194 00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800 Speaker 1: we coach. I'm not gonna change the way Travis approaches 195 00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:55,559 Speaker 1: the game, because if you start doing that, then you're 196 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: you're hurting the player, you know, and you're not you're 197 00:09:57,480 --> 00:10:01,000 Speaker 1: not showing confidence in the player. Uh. I'll never do that, 198 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: you know. I'll make sure that everybody that players can 199 00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: play and you know we'll make obviously we'll make an 200 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: emphasis of it. You know, we got to protect the football. 201 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,679 Speaker 1: And you know, just like each week you try to 202 00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:13,480 Speaker 1: you know, create takeaways, but you gotta you know, you 203 00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: gotta keep the football as well. So, um, but you know, 204 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 1: we all understand the magnitude of what what turnovers can do, 205 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,319 Speaker 1: you know in games like this, and um, you know 206 00:10:23,440 --> 00:10:26,079 Speaker 1: you do the best you can to to not give 207 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:29,920 Speaker 1: up the ball. How do you keep in your daily 208 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,800 Speaker 1: preparation leading up to the game, how do you keep 209 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: the pressure of the night to this game from seeping 210 00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: into the players heads? Because usually a coach can sort 211 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 1: of tell on something like that. So I'm just wondering 212 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,839 Speaker 1: what what I mean. You know, you just you just 213 00:10:44,920 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 1: try to keep it as about the about the you know, um, 214 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:52,599 Speaker 1: business as usual, you know, mentality, and you know we 215 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,199 Speaker 1: understand it's still it's you know, it's a regular season week, 216 00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: a team game, it's the last game of the regular season, 217 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 1: and you know, obviously a lot of steak um. But 218 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: at the same time, you know, you just you say, hey, listen, 219 00:11:04,360 --> 00:11:06,800 Speaker 1: you know what got us here, and you just got 220 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: to lean on that right and lean on the positive 221 00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:13,199 Speaker 1: there and and um, you know again it goes back 222 00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 1: to the you know, the turnover battle. You know, you 223 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: just can't you can't give the ball up and you 224 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: try to take the ball the way the best you 225 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: can and but you know, really you just you just 226 00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 1: stay stay with what got you here. You know, trust that, 227 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 1: trust the players, um, put a great game plan together 228 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:35,040 Speaker 1: and and then go play. You know, we'll uh, we'll 229 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 1: get together as a team, you know during the day, 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,079 Speaker 1: just kind of get the guys up and moving around. 231 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: You know, I'm usually over here early and just kind 232 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: of buzzing through some more tape and you know, looking 233 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: at the game plan to call sheet and you know, 234 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,000 Speaker 1: making sure everything's everything's buttoned up and ready to go. 235 00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 1: Like gains taking too much, I don't really I don't 236 00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:59,920 Speaker 1: tinker much, um if any you know, um A lot 237 00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:01,679 Speaker 1: of times too you're looking at your game plan and 238 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: maybe maybe there's something on there that maybe catches your eye, 239 00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: you know, and you make an emphasis of that, you know, 240 00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,520 Speaker 1: as you're as as a play caller.

And it's been 249 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: a while since we've had a game like this here 250 00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, and um, it's gonna be great for the 251 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:44,320 Speaker 1: fans really, Um, I think it's gonna be it's great 252 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:47,599 Speaker 1: for them to to be here, to experience this with 253 00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:51,800 Speaker 1: the team, you know.

Oh yeah, 261 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 1: he's on pace to lead the NFL and tackles for 262 00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:13,959 Speaker 1: the second year in a row. How big has he 263 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,880 Speaker 1: been for the defense this year? He's been He's been great, 264 00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,800 Speaker 1: He's been solid. You know, he's a rock in there, 265 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: and and um, you know, I think I think he 266 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,400 Speaker 1: again one of the guys we targeted, you know, in 267 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,800 Speaker 1: free agency in the spring, and he's he's lived up 268 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 1: to that, you know, just like the guys on offense. 269 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: So he's he's valuable piece. Um.

Yeah, you know, 278 00:14:04,280 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: I think this time, this time of the year, this 279 00:14:06,880 --> 00:14:11,040 Speaker 1: late in the year, Um, you know, it's about the 280 00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: health of the team more more so than the physicality 281 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,160 Speaker 1: of the team. You're trying to get the guys healthy, 282 00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:18,880 Speaker 1: and a guy like Trevor, you know, and he handles 283 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 1: it the right way too. Right when he when he 284 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:25,080 Speaker 1: doesn't practice, you know, on a Wednesday type day, um, 285 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: he's still out there engaged, getting mental reps, talking through 286 00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:33,080 Speaker 1: with the coordinator or myself or if CJ is you know, 287 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: the one taking the plays that day, just gaining all 288 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: that valuable information. Right. And so when he when he 289 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 1: goes back out on the field on Thursday, um, you know, 290 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: he he's he's prepared, he's ready to go. And then again, 291 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 1: you know on a Friday and all of that. So, um, 292 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,320 Speaker 1: earlier in the year you probably would like, hey, you 293 00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:54,440 Speaker 1: need you need to practice. You need to practice, you 294 00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:56,840 Speaker 1: need to practice.

And you know, um, any time you 297 00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 1: can give a guy some rest, you know, it's good 298 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: this time of year,
