And 100 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,279 Speaker 3: he's been around great organizations, great head coaches, so he's 101 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 3: been influenced by all of them, and he's gonna bring 102 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,919 Speaker 3: all that to jackson And I think, listen, Ultimately, what 103 00:04:59,040 --> 00:05:01,280 Speaker 3: I want to make sure happens is that we're excited 104 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,599 Speaker 3: this time next year because we gotta win ball games. 105 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 3: We need to win our division, we need to get 106 00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:10,159 Speaker 3: in the playoffs, we need to win playoff games. And ultimately, 107 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,679 Speaker 3: what we need to do is bring a Littlebardi Trophy 108 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 3: back to Jacksonville. And I think, you know, and that's 109 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 3: a process and we gotta it's step by step and 110 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,320 Speaker 3: you gotta get the process right.

He's a 137 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 3: pretty busy guy. So I'm looking forward to working together 138 00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 3: as a team. We're gonna be one team and we're 139 00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 3: gonna get this thing going. 140 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,240 Speaker 1: A lot of people will know Liam Cohen's offense from 141 00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 1: last year, but relatively speaking, he hasn't been in the 142 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: league for a long time. 143 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,560 Speaker 2: Sure, what do you think that people should. 144 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,719 Speaker 1: Know about him as a man, as a leader, as 145 00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,279 Speaker 1: somebody that's coming in the organization that's going to be 146 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:01,320 Speaker 1: in the locker room and you know, might might want 147 00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 1: to you know, or might need to get his presence known. 148 00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:07,720 Speaker 3: Get ready to work, Get ready to go, guys, all 149 00:07:07,760 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 3: gas like, here we go, We're going to work and 150 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 3: uh And he believes And he was raised his dad 151 00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 3: was a coach and his dad influenced and I got 152 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 3: to meet his dad. What a great guy. He is 153 00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 3: and uh, he believes in the fundamentals. Football is one 154 00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:24,400 Speaker 3: on the line of scrimmage. And so we got to 155 00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 3: get the offense and defensive lines right. We got to 156 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,960 Speaker 3: control the line scrimtge. We have to be the most 157 00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 3: physical team. We got to be the toughest team. And 158 00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:37,040 Speaker 3: so you're gonna see a guy that yeah, offensive offensive, 159 00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 3: big mind, mastermind, whatever you want, gur or whatever. That's proven. 160 00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 3: We know we can do that. But I think what 161 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: people get to know about him is this guy is 162 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:50,239 Speaker 3: a high energy let's go, let's work, and he believes 163 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 3: in toughness and physical and win the line of scrimmage. 164 00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 3: And and that's why we're gonna have success. You gotta 165 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 3: you gotta win the line of scrimmage to win in 166 00:07:56,920 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 3: the NFL. Look at the two teams in the Super Bowl. 167 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 3: Philadelphi Eagles have great offense and defensive lines. They're physical, 168 00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,080 Speaker 3: they're tough. You look at everyone talks about Patrick Mahomes 169 00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 3: and yes, he's the best quarterback, and Andy Reid is 170 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,320 Speaker 3: the best coach, there's no doubt about just look at 171 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,240 Speaker 3: their resumes. But the Chiefs win the line of scrimmage. 172 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 3: We look at Chris Jones in that defensive line. You 173 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 3: look at the interior of that Chief's offensive line, they 174 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,000 Speaker 3: know that you got to win there before you can 175 00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:22,640 Speaker 3: do anything else. 176 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: Obviously, results on the field matter, that's the most important thing. 177 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:26,960 Speaker 2: That's why you're in this position. 178 00:08:27,080 --> 00:08:32,080 Speaker 1: Now with the results comes Trevor Lawrence, and I'm assuming 179 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: that Liam Cohen coming in. You know, job number one 180 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: is to get the most boast out of the franchise quarterback. 181 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,240 Speaker 3: It's all of our Like listen, we've invested a lot 182 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:44,680 Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence, and the reason we invested them is because 183 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 3: we believe in them, and we still believe in them. 184 00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: Last year was tough injuries, what the production, but from 185 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,400 Speaker 3: the whole offense, that's just not on Trevor Lawrence, and 186 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,400 Speaker 3: that's unfair to put it on them. Liam believes Trevor 187 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 3: Lawrence is the guy franchise quarterback that he's gonna lead us. 188 00:09:01,640 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 3: I have strong convictions. I've said it on every show 189 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 3: we've ever had, and Trevor believes that. And so we 190 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:11,600 Speaker 3: now need to help Trevor continue to improve and and 191 00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 3: and become who we all know he is and who 192 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 3: he believes he is. But then we got to surround 193 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 3: him like it's just it's not just about him. It's 194 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 3: amazing how much better you are as a quarterback when 195 00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 3: you can run the ball, when you have a run 196 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 3: game and everything else opens up. It's amazing how much 197 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 3: of a better quarterback you can be when your defense 198 00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: is getting the opposing offense off the field, giving you 199 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: more opportunities. Those are things we didn't do, and so 200 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,440 Speaker 3: everyone you know, and that's the nature of the position 201 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 3: you put. Everyone you know gives the quarterback all the 202 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 3: credit and he doesn't deserve all the credit, and they 203 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:49,520 Speaker 3: give him all the blame when he doesn't deserve all 204 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 3: the blame. So yes, it's this is a league where 205 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 3: you have the quarterback has to operate at a high level. 206 00:09:55,600 --> 00:09:59,200 Speaker 3: But however, you got to surround him. You gotta go 207 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,400 Speaker 3: back to the line of screen, but you got to 208 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 3: run the ball. That makes everyone's jobs job on offense 209 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 3: a lot. 210 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 1: Because it's a bit like you know, Saquon Barkley obviously 211 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:09,200 Speaker 1: had an amazing season. With Saquon Barkley, it's it's everything 212 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,120 Speaker 1: that surrounds him as well that's made him so good. 213 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:12,880 Speaker 2: So it's it's uh, I mean you to. 214 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:14,679 Speaker 3: Go turn on the tape and watch like Coon Barkley. 215 00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 3: He's an amazing back, amazing back, but did he all 216 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,400 Speaker 3: of a sudden become a two thousand yard rusher just 217 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:25,679 Speaker 3: like because he changed jerseys? Come on, no, go look 218 00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,920 Speaker 3: at that offensive line. Go look at their production. Look 219 00:10:28,920 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: at the guys they've invested to and developed and how 220 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,960 Speaker 3: they coach it up. That helps Sakuon, That helps Jalen. 221 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 3: I mean, it helps everybody. And so sometimes we forget 222 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 3: the foundation of the game of football at its core. 223 00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:43,720 Speaker 2: Team game is. 224 00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 3: A team game. But it starts with those big guys 225 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:50,640 Speaker 3: being physical and tough and in taking care of their 226 00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 3: business and everything else will fall into place. 227 00:10:52,520 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 2: Well, let's go into the GM search. Now where are 228 00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,760 Speaker 2: we at? Uh, you know, what can we expect them? 229 00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:58,559 Speaker 2: What are you looking for? 230 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: And what's you know, Chikanda and Ford a GM. 231 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,520 Speaker 3: You know, I think we're looking for Number one.

And 235 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 3: then we want to understand what's the vision, what's the 236 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 3: philosophy of for building a team? You know? And then 237 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:25,080 Speaker 3: then the next step is okay, how do you see 238 00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,079 Speaker 3: where we are right now? And what would your plan be? 239 00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 3: And so we want to gather all this information.
