WEBVTT - Publix Tailgate Show: Defensive line coach Jason Rebrovich

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:01.800
<v Speaker 1>It's good to see you. What's going on. How you

0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.720
<v Speaker 1>guys holding up? It's gonna be here, man, I appreciate it.

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.079
<v Speaker 1>Everything's going well. The weather is, uh, definitely hitting a

0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.360
<v Speaker 1>low kind of my type of weather, being up from

0:00:10.360 --> 0:00:13.079
<v Speaker 1>an up north guy. And uh, shorts have been on

0:00:13.200 --> 0:00:16.239
<v Speaker 1>all week and I've been joining it. How things with you.

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:19.439
<v Speaker 1>We're hanging in there. Three weeks ago, we're not shoveling snow,

0:00:19.520 --> 0:00:22.239
<v Speaker 1>which is good news. Um, let's let's get into the

0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:26.079
<v Speaker 1>challenge this week for this Jaguars defense. We know the

0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:29.640
<v Speaker 1>running games the last few weeks that this Jaguars defense

0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>has seen Cleveland ran the ball well, Derrick Henry ran

0:00:32.560 --> 0:00:35.280
<v Speaker 1>the ball well. This is a different field. This is

0:00:35.320 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>a read option type of thing. And when you have

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.120
<v Speaker 1>a quarterback like Lamar Jackson that can go the distance

0:00:41.159 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>from anywhere on the field, that adds just a different

0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:46.519
<v Speaker 1>element to everything. Yeah, there's no doubt. I mean you

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>taught you start. Um. You know with with Lamar everything

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>goes through him. Um. You know, from a run game standpoint,

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:56.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, just a dynamic player. Um. Obviously from a

0:00:56.560 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>running standpoint, you know, change the direction to speed on

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:02.160
<v Speaker 1>the elimeter, you know, and then obviously he has a

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.479
<v Speaker 1>quarterback that has dropped back capabilities, you know, where now

0:01:05.600 --> 0:01:09.600
<v Speaker 1>you have that element of quarterback movement, whether it's bootlegs,

0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 1>sprint outs, you know, and everything that this guy possesses.

0:01:13.440 --> 0:01:16.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, the guys are reigning, uh you know NFL

0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.280
<v Speaker 1>m v P. So, I mean there's a reason why

0:01:18.319 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>this guy is so dynamic, you know. And then you

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.360
<v Speaker 1>go into the run game with the three stable backs

0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>that they have, you know, you know, very big, physical,

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:33.959
<v Speaker 1>bruising running backs. They got a big hold old line. Um. So, yeah,

0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>it's very demanding on us up front. You know, we

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:38.800
<v Speaker 1>know that every single week. But we have a big challenge,

0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:42.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, being a signment football. Um, you know, we

0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>all have an opportunity to go out there and you know,

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.720
<v Speaker 1>stick our hands and run our feet through somebody up

0:01:47.720 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 1>front squeezing some gaps off and have an opportunity to uh,

0:01:50.960 --> 0:01:53.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, tackle one of the best quarterbacks, if not

0:01:53.400 --> 0:01:55.800
<v Speaker 1>the best quarterback in the National Football League. If you're

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>a defensive end and you're running free and all of

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.360
<v Speaker 1>a sudden he pulls it out, I mean, what do

0:02:00.400 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you look for in a read option? Yeah, you know

0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>you got you got different assignments like you're talking about

0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>right there. You know, our our defensive ents could be

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, responsible for different things and some of the

0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>option football that we are seeing, you know, and you've

0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>got to pursue that, you know, inside out. You know.

0:02:15.400 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>One of the biggest things that you know, we've been

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.600
<v Speaker 1>telling our d line is that, you know, if you

0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:22.639
<v Speaker 1>can pursue Lamar inside out, meaning that you're making him

0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:25.240
<v Speaker 1>run lateral, you know, to the sideline. You know, that's

0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 1>the surest tackle in the National Football leagues, the sideline.

0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean that that sidelines never missed a tackle, not

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.480
<v Speaker 1>in every game I've been and seen too. So you know,

0:02:32.560 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>you're forcing that guy that way and and trying to

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.840
<v Speaker 1>pursue it and run it down, you know, so he

0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>can't get his shoulder square getting running down onto your

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 1>second level or your safeties. You know what. That guy,

0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>you know obviously flashes and his dynamic ability definitely shows

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.440
<v Speaker 1>up in those situations. Jason with US Jaguars defensive line coach,

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.440
<v Speaker 1>Let's get into a few of your guys up front

0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:57.400
<v Speaker 1>and calebon Chaison seems to be starting to get stronger

0:02:57.440 --> 0:03:00.480
<v Speaker 1>and stronger as the last few weeks have gone what's

0:03:00.520 --> 0:03:03.520
<v Speaker 1>clicking now for him? Yeah, you know, I mean, you know,

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.920
<v Speaker 1>and one thing, Jps, you know, I think you and

0:03:05.960 --> 0:03:09.360
<v Speaker 1>I have had conversations, you know, earlier this year, you know,

0:03:09.480 --> 0:03:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in our in our you know, minimal camp that we

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:14.239
<v Speaker 1>had and O. T. A. S. You know, And and

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing is is, you know you need reps. You know,

0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:20.120
<v Speaker 1>you've got to understand that there's footwork involved in pass rush.

0:03:20.200 --> 0:03:23.280
<v Speaker 1>There's you know, a comfort level with the guy next

0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to you, and pass rush you got to analyze the

0:03:26.080 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 1>tackle that you're going against. Is he a high puncher?

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Is or lower puncher? Where's this set point? There's a

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of analyzation of what your pass rush moves are

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.200
<v Speaker 1>gonna be. And now he's getting a feel of how

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.520
<v Speaker 1>to break that down, how to see it, how to

0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.920
<v Speaker 1>critique it. Where's my plant foot gotta be, where's my

0:03:43.040 --> 0:03:46.320
<v Speaker 1>hands gotta be, where's my aiming point? And you're starting

0:03:46.360 --> 0:03:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to see JP, You're exactly right. You know things are

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>turning around. Um, he's getting more confident and everything you know,

0:03:52.240 --> 0:03:55.080
<v Speaker 1>and more confident you are, and something the better and better.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.160
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna look to go pick on it more and

0:03:57.240 --> 0:03:59.160
<v Speaker 1>get better at it and get better at it and

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>it's it's click, it's working, you know, and uh and

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>it's great to see you know. Calevon is one of

0:04:04.400 --> 0:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>those guys that wants to get better, loves to get better,

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:11.960
<v Speaker 1>always asking questions, constantly on my phone, constantly on email,

0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>sending me things, you know, and that's what you love

0:04:15.080 --> 0:04:17.119
<v Speaker 1>about the young man, you know, the the guy wants

0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.120
<v Speaker 1>to be one of the best players and premier players

0:04:19.120 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>in the National Football League. Get love that when the

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:24.599
<v Speaker 1>when the phone never stops digging and it's your premier

0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>pass rushure. That's guy's right. You don't get those guys

0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>all the time. Jason Refuss with US Jaguars defensive line

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>coach Dwan Smoot in a contract year and getting some

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>playing time and taking advantage of that playing time. It's

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:42.039
<v Speaker 1>a big year obviously for Dwan Smoot. What have you

0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:44.480
<v Speaker 1>seen out of him in the last month or so? Yeah,

0:04:44.560 --> 0:04:47.800
<v Speaker 1>no question, I mean Smoots one of our leaders. Um.

0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.360
<v Speaker 1>You know, he comes out here on a daily basis,

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:54.240
<v Speaker 1>whether it's UH meeting time or obviously in the practice elements,

0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.040
<v Speaker 1>and and he's obviously producing. You know, he's going out

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>there not only in the UH pass game. You know,

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>the few statistical socks that he's had in the last

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:04.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, a few weeks, but obviously in the run game,

0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:06.799
<v Speaker 1>you know, it does a really good job of straining

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.880
<v Speaker 1>and setting the edges. You know, he's getting better at

0:05:10.160 --> 0:05:13.239
<v Speaker 1>you know, his his movements and stunts, you know, getting

0:05:13.320 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 1>vertical and getting t TFLs and you know, and stopping

0:05:17.160 --> 0:05:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the run and owning his gap and all that good stuff.

0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.719
<v Speaker 1>So he is definitely a guy that's improved, you know,

0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 1>through the duration of the season and the duration of

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:28.039
<v Speaker 1>his career that he's been here in Jacksonville. And it's

0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:29.960
<v Speaker 1>a pleasant you know, and I know that he's going

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:32.960
<v Speaker 1>through you know contract, nobody's shying away from it. We

0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.880
<v Speaker 1>all know those situations too, and he's definitely showing out

0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:37.760
<v Speaker 1>there and producing, which is great to see for him

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:39.719
<v Speaker 1>and great to see for us. One of the strange

0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:42.640
<v Speaker 1>things about the National Football League is that you can

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.040
<v Speaker 1>have a year like twenty seventeen, or you have one

0:05:45.080 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>of the great defenses of all time and franchise history,

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and only a few years later, a lot of those

0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>guys go different places. Well, Calais Campbell and Unique and

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:59.160
<v Speaker 1>Cockway have both been traded away. They both end up

0:05:59.200 --> 0:06:02.240
<v Speaker 1>in Baltimore on the Ravens, the team the Jags are

0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.400
<v Speaker 1>playing this week. How strange is it? I know you've

0:06:04.400 --> 0:06:06.440
<v Speaker 1>been around this league for a while now and you've

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:08.599
<v Speaker 1>probably seen some of this kind of thing before, But

0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:10.560
<v Speaker 1>how strange will it be to see Calais and John

0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:14.080
<v Speaker 1>on the other side, you know, jp the world that

0:06:14.120 --> 0:06:16.760
<v Speaker 1>you're using strange? You know that that that's not the

0:06:16.800 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>first world that comes to me. You know, I feel

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.080
<v Speaker 1>it as a privilege and an honor, you know, to

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>have that opportunity in the time that I was you know,

0:06:23.279 --> 0:06:25.599
<v Speaker 1>I've been here in Jacksonville to be able to coach

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.440
<v Speaker 1>those two young men who are not only good football

0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.359
<v Speaker 1>players e League football players in National Football League, but

0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:33.880
<v Speaker 1>they're great men. And I had the honor to be

0:06:33.960 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>around them men. And uh um, it's gonna be a

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:40.000
<v Speaker 1>great time, you know. I mean, obviously that opportunity to

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:42.400
<v Speaker 1>go against these guys. You know. The one thing is

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.200
<v Speaker 1>is our players we always talk about is being competitive.

0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.960
<v Speaker 1>Well some of us coaches are too, you know, and

0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:50.719
<v Speaker 1>and we're gonna be competitive against John and Calais, And

0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:53.960
<v Speaker 1>believe me, my competitive spirits gonna be out against them

0:06:54.000 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 1>guys too. So that don't get me wrong, there'd be

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>a few flashes of my eyes every once in a

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>while looking out there, obviably seeing them playing a little

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.839
<v Speaker 1>bit of defense. But uh, you know, we're gonna treat

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:05.839
<v Speaker 1>this just like any other game. You know, we're going

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.279
<v Speaker 1>out there. You know, they're purple and black and we're

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>tealing gold, and we're gonna go out there and do

0:07:10.400 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>the things that we need to do necessary to go

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:14.480
<v Speaker 1>win a ballgame. Great stuff. I always get to visit

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.720
<v Speaker 1>with you. Let's get a w. I appreciate you, t P.
