1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: That afternoon room's pretty packed, you know. Just to start off,

2
00:00:06,680 --> 00:00:09,719
Speaker 1: you know, on Jabrill, I just want to be clear

3
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: that really any act of domestic violence is unacceptable for

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 1: us as a team, no matter if you're a player,

5
00:00:16,960 --> 00:00:21,880
Speaker 1: staff member, We're wholeheartedly against any type of domestic violence.

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:27,280
Speaker 1: I know the organization's position, which I fully support, you know.

7
00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: With that being said, I do think that you know, Jabril,

8
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:33,599
Speaker 1: you know, has to go through the system, has to

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,040
Speaker 1: continue to go through a due process, and we'll see

10
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:39,120
Speaker 1: how that how that works out. What I will say

11
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: is that the league has put him on the exemp list, uh,

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: the exemp list, and that will give us time to

13
00:00:45,360 --> 00:00:49,519
Speaker 1: really gather more information going forward. At this time, he

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,760
Speaker 1: is not in the building. He's not in the building,

15
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:54,880
Speaker 1: and you know, we'll talk about that at a later time.

16
00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,040
Speaker 1: That's the last thing I want to say about Jabrill

17
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: his situation at this time. So moving on, I would

18
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: also say kind of say one more thing. Sorry I

19
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: did say, I'll finished. You know, as a father of

20
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: three daughters, I definitely understand the seriousness of the allegations

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: and and hopefully they're not true. But we'll see. Like

22
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: I said earlier, we'll go through that that due process.

23
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 1: I think, are the commissioners exempt sort of allowed to

24
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 1: be with the team, anticipate keeping him away or allowing

25
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:28,000
Speaker 1: him back at some point, I would say, as you

26
00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: know in the near term, he will not be in

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:30,959
Speaker 1: the building.

28
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:36,120
Speaker 2: Discuss your decision quarterback and how you came to that decision.

29
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:39,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, I thought Jacoby, and we say it

30
00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 1: all the time that you know, it's all about competition

31
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: every single position, I would say, as a coach, and

32
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: I know the organization feels this way. We're trying to

33
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: win every game, and at the time, you know, we

34
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,200
Speaker 1: thought that Jacoby will give us the best opportunity to

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: go out there and win games, protecting the football, really

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: running the offense. You know, With that being said, he

37
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 1: was a warrior, as you guys know, he had, you know,

38
00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: taken a lot of hits and just kept getting up.

39
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: And I would also say, you know, for a guy

40
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 1: like that to be voted as a captain in this

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,399
Speaker 1: situation and continue to be very supportive of Drake, may

42
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: my hat. I tipped my hat to Jacoby for having

43
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 1: that ego less mentality going forward, I think now you know,

44
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: Drake gives us the best chance to win now and

45
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,560
Speaker 1: going forward, he's been developed. I mean, he's been getting

46
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 1: better every single week. As I said before, you know,

47
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: at the end of training camp, he actually was trending,

48
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: you know, at a very high rate, and that has

49
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 1: continued through the early part of the season. And so

50
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, it was solely my decision to make the

51
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,639
Speaker 1: h to make this choice. I had a conversation one

52
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,800
Speaker 1: on one with Jacoby. I had a conversation with Drake.

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: We're all on board. And I would also say, you know,

54
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,919
Speaker 1: Jacoby is a warrior, and he took the news very

55
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: well like a professional, like you would expect from a

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 1: guy like that.

57
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 2: So you said, you said, Drake is getting better. Another

58
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 2: two things is physical and his mental can You've talked

59
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 2: about if he talked to Drake about his football acumen?

60
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:14,839
Speaker 2: Has that improved from training camp from the beginning part

61
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 2: of the season, which gives you more comfort in putting

62
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: in in at this particular point in time.

63
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: I would say, you know, Drake's a smart guy and

64
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,200
Speaker 1: we saw that throughout the draft process as far as

65
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:28,400
Speaker 1: you know, understanding the offense and the language and just

66
00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 1: his overall football IQ. I think that continues to improve

67
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 1: and I was actually pleasantly surprised. You know, even when

68
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: he got here, it was never a question was he smart?

69
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: But I was pleasantly surprised just you know, his work

70
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: ethic out of this world and you know, studying the

71
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: playbook and trying to get those reps, and he continues

72
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: to get better each and every day physically. Look, this guy, Uh,

73
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: definitely gives us a chance to you know, kind of

74
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: get some of those off schedule plays that you guys

75
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 1: always see on TV.

76
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 2: My decision, Does that means that you've had to when

77
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 2: he always going to call said were making.

78
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: The change us process? No, that's a great question. What

79
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 1: I would say is so I met with all the

80
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: offensive coaches and we had a conversation. Then we met

81
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 1: together a VP and myself and he was fully on board.

82
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: And once again, it goes back to who gives us

83
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: the best chance to win this week, to the decision

84
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: being made or you say, Alex were close here or

85
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: have you had conversations leading up to the ultimate decision

86
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: being able closer? Play had to make the pop Well

87
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: during training camp at the end of training camp, we

88
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 1: had those discussions on almost a daily basis. You know,

89
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: what do we want to do to open the season.

90
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: And I would also say as the season continue to progress,

91
00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 1: you know, we won the first game, and then the

92
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: second game was a tight one. Then obviously you guys

93
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 1: know what happened along the way. It wasn't a conversation

94
00:04:48,560 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: where I was like Alex were close for him as

95
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: an offensive coordinator. For all the coordinators, they have to

96
00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: prepare to go out here and win the game, and

97
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: so having those conversations during the regular season on a

98
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: on a you know, let's say a weekly base this

99
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:04,280
Speaker 1: is really unrealistic. Now, with that being said, we had

100
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: the conversation, he agreed with the move, and you know,

101
00:05:07,920 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: it's hard. It's it's a hard move. One thing I

102
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: have learned about quarterbacks is a little different than any

103
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: other position. So what I would say is, you know,

104
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,440
Speaker 1: we had the conversation and both agreed that this was

105
00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: the right way. I told the team this morning. You know, look,

106
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 1: these guys are on social media and all that stuff

107
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: as well, and like I said, we had the conversation

108
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: with Jacoby and Drake the night prior. But I told

109
00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: the team this morning in the same way that we

110
00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: the full weight of the organization was behind Jacoby at

111
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: the time. I expect the same thing, the full weight

112
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: of the organization to be behind Drake no matter what.

113
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: Did you have this.

114
00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,200
Speaker 2: Date in mind for Drake May's debut as a starter

115
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:49,600
Speaker 2: drud Or was the plan that you've talked to us

116
00:05:49,600 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: so much about was.

117
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:54,680
Speaker 1: That at all expedited? Look, I don't think it's a secret.

118
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 1: Our offense hasn't been performing the way that we all

119
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: hoped it would, and so you know, to answer your question,

120
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:06,400
Speaker 1: your question, ask the question again. I want to make

121
00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: sure I say this is right, the plan expedited or no?

122
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: Are you so I wouldn't say no, I wouldn't say

123
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:16,040
Speaker 1: the plan was expedited. Like again, the end of training camp,

124
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: he was trending up and that never slowed down. So

125
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 1: at this point he gives us the best chance to win.

126
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: People are saying that maybe the team around him is

127
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,279
Speaker 1: an ideal for Drake. With the offensive line and the

128
00:06:26,279 --> 00:06:28,640
Speaker 1: state of the offense right now, what do you say

129
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: they look there? You know, every team, even this early

130
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:33,400
Speaker 1: in the season is still trying to figure out like

131
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: who they have and what they are as an organization,

132
00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: their identity. But I would say, look, we're good with Drake.

133
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 1: Every team doesn't have a let's say, a one receiver,

134
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: one running back. You know, they don't have those kinds

135
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: of things. But I would say that Drake is gonna

136
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,320
Speaker 1: make us a better football team today and going forward.

137
00:06:51,839 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 2: Following up on Phil's question for a moment, as far

138
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: as the why you decided now and the Dolphins last week,

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 2: next week, the Jaguars and the Texans are the toughest

140
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: teams in the league. Was there any consideration given to

141
00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 2: the opponents.

142
00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,679
Speaker 1: I would say there's never there's never a perfect time

143
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: to make a change. Every defense that we play, whether

144
00:07:10,360 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: it's the defensive ends or the defensive tackles, they all

145
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: have the ability to rush and get after the quarterback.

146
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: So I don't think there's ever a perfect time. What

147
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:19,760
Speaker 1: I will say is this defense is, uh, there's some

148
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're familiar with the defense and we've seen it,

149
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: and he's prepared for this defense as if he was

150
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: the starter, and I just felt like this was the

151
00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: right time to do it. Organizationally, was everyone a board

152
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,760
Speaker 1: meeting Elliott and Elliott was Elliott and ownership. All of

153
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: us were were on board with the change, not at all,

154
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,560
Speaker 1: not at all, and I expressed that to Jacobe in

155
00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 1: our one on one that you know, his leadership was

156
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,440
Speaker 1: not just what he did on the field, but also

157
00:07:51,480 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: off the field, and my expectation and he agreed, was

158
00:07:54,800 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 1: that he would continue to be a leader on our

159
00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: football team.

160
00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 2: Story season, Elian said the head we don't want to

161
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: be in a situation, but we're putting Frake May in.

162
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 1: Think's going to call well we old bag and back

163
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: help do that's that? Is this a for good bank situation?

164
00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Like he's in there for good? I think he's a backups.

165
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: Look right now, Drake May is our starter today and

166
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: going forward. Uh, and Jacoby's our backup quarterback. You expect

167
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: Drake to get like one hundred percent of the snaps.

168
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,760
Speaker 2: I expect he'll.

169
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: Get most of the most of the snaps. As you

170
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,880
Speaker 1: disappointed all where you disappointed at all that the news

171
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 1: came out before he talked to the team, A little

172
00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 1: bit like any type of decision that's a big decision,

173
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: you want to let the team know first. But in

174
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:45,199
Speaker 1: saying that, look, these guys they read everything, and you

175
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: know it's fine.

176
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:50,719
Speaker 2: What have you seen Drake's biggest growth this is over

177
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 2: the last five.

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: Months, just you know, operating the huddle. I think it

179
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: starts right there, you know, get in the call, getting

180
00:08:56,160 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: in the huddle, getting out of the huddle, and going

181
00:08:57,880 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 1: out there executing the play.

182
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 2: Panticipate if the offense changing, great part.

183
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to put a percentage on, you know,

184
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: how much the offense will change. What I will say

185
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: is like we have core core concepts that all the

186
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: quarterbacks have to know how to go out there and execute.

187
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,000
Speaker 1: You know. With that being said, is athleticism definitely opens

188
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: up more place.

189
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:21,480
Speaker 2: Same time to the quarterbacks, to night products and last

190
00:09:21,559 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: night or.

191
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,520
Speaker 1: Let me, I talked to him last night.

192
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 2: Because that was that it was already out of they would.

193
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Have well, some of that stuff was assumption, Rob give

194
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 1: a good play.

195
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,080
Speaker 2: From your perspective from where he was to where you

196
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 2: are out going into this game. What do you like

197
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 2: about Drake Maye as you're.

198
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Starting the quarterback? I would just say, first, you know

199
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: you can start with his arm and just his overall athleticism.

200
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,160
Speaker 1: Perfect
