1 00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:06,040 Speaker 1: Zoon. 2 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:14,240 Speaker 2: Welcome to the Ozone Podcast with Jaguars senior writer John Oser. 3 00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,319 Speaker 2: Welcome into this week's Ozone podcast, and I will not 4 00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: labor the point. We're joined by Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence. 5 00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 3: Trevor, I appreciate you joining us. 6 00:00:24,680 --> 00:00:25,639 Speaker 1: Thanks, Sean, appreciate you. 7 00:00:25,680 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 3: Man. Year four, is that hard to believe? 8 00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:34,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is, Uh, it is hertably, it's flown by. 9 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,760 Speaker 1: It's crazy, you're four, man, it is Uh, it's wild. 10 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:38,920 Speaker 1: It's been a journey so far. 11 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:43,920 Speaker 3: What would your for Trevor tell rookie. 12 00:00:43,680 --> 00:00:49,760 Speaker 1: Trevor, Oh, that's a good question. Uh. I think it's funny. 13 00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,159 Speaker 1: You know when you when you see how things turned out, 14 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,400 Speaker 1: you have a better perspective on just everything and you 15 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,520 Speaker 1: kind of know, you know, not to pay, not to 16 00:01:00,520 --> 00:01:02,480 Speaker 1: freak out, you know. I think rookie, rookie year me 17 00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 1: had a little bit of that and trying to figure 18 00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:06,080 Speaker 1: out what's going on, and it's. 19 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 3: Hard to all happened once. 20 00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's hard to because you don't know, especially 21 00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: when everything's new, and it's especially when it's not going well, 22 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: it's hard to trust what's to come. And I think 23 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: I did the best job I could in the moment, 24 00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,480 Speaker 1: but seeing how, you know, how everything's changed, and how 25 00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: just staying the course benefited me and just being the 26 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: same guy every day. That was something that people told 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,400 Speaker 1: me coming into the league and even long before that, 28 00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:35,000 Speaker 1: of just how can you just be consistent? I think 29 00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: being a quarterback that is one of the most underrated, 30 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,160 Speaker 1: most important things of the position is just being the 31 00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:44,840 Speaker 1: same guy. Consistency on the field too, which is a 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: whole other deal, but just the person, you know, I 33 00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 1: think that's huge. So I think that helped me a lot, 34 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,760 Speaker 1: was being able to do that, so earning their respect 35 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: early in my rookie year throughout even when the year 36 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: didn't go great. You know, I think I set the 37 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,600 Speaker 1: foundation for myself and for our team and just my 38 00:02:02,720 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: leadership role moving forward. I think that helped me being 39 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: the same guy through the ups and the downs, because 40 00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,720 Speaker 1: it's a lot. You know, when you see how someone 41 00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:11,799 Speaker 1: reacts to that, I think you learned more about them 42 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: than when things are going great. 43 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,839 Speaker 2: You know, you made it look easy and I saily 44 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,600 Speaker 2: on the field, but in terms of how you handled it, 45 00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,400 Speaker 2: I'm not going off in a tangent by the first year, 46 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:21,680 Speaker 2: but you. 47 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:22,200 Speaker 3: Brought it up. 48 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,360 Speaker 2: You did make it look easy despite all the turbulence. 49 00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,160 Speaker 2: Was it harder than it looked? 50 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:29,680 Speaker 1: I didn't always make it look easy on the field. 51 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: I definitely could have played better at times, But yeah, 52 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 1: it was. There was some challenging parts to it, you know, 53 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: I think more internally than anything, you know, I think 54 00:02:42,639 --> 00:02:45,000 Speaker 1: I knew the kind of the responsibility I had for 55 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: you know, my team and the city all that. I 56 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,639 Speaker 1: think I had to keep my composure and keep myself together, 57 00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,120 Speaker 1: so I didn't I never really wavered on that. I 58 00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: think internally. There was some challenges for sure, where it's 59 00:02:56,960 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: hard to I mean, this is a results business, so 60 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,240 Speaker 1: it's hard when you're not having the results and you're 61 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: not playing as well as you know you can, and 62 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: whether or not the circumstances are in your favor or not, 63 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: it's still the results or the results. So I think 64 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,639 Speaker 1: that's that was a hard pill for me to swallow 65 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: as a rookie, was how do I not let this 66 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,520 Speaker 1: affect me moving forward and game to game, play to 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:24,000 Speaker 1: play That was something that was really challenged and you 68 00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 1: still use those lessons definitely, you know, because I've been 69 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:29,399 Speaker 1: in from a football since I've been in the worst 70 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,960 Speaker 1: of the worst as far as just you know, not 71 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 1: playing well. I mean we went three and fourteen, lost 72 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: almost all of our games, like just all those I 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:39,320 Speaker 1: mean just from football. Since it doesn't really get any 74 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 1: worse than that. So I can always fall on that 75 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,440 Speaker 1: of just the mindset of when things do get difficult, 76 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 1: how do you push through? How do you be the 77 00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: same person? How do you just continue to plug away 78 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:51,880 Speaker 1: until you get through it. I think that that helped 79 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: us a lot, even you know, in twenty twenty two 80 00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: in the second year, and you're reminded those lessons all 81 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: the time. Though last year I feel like as a team, 82 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, we didn't quite have that that we did 83 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: in twenty two. Was you know, when things did get 84 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 1: a little challenging, we didn't respond as good as we 85 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,880 Speaker 1: did in twenty two. You see kind of how it 86 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: was in verse seasons. So I mean that's important, especially 87 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 1: in the team and you play seventeen games, you're gonna 88 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,880 Speaker 1: have a lot of ups and downs. I mean it's 89 00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: gonna be no matter how good you are. You look 90 00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,159 Speaker 1: at you know, Chiefs won the Super Bowl last couple 91 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:24,280 Speaker 1: of years. You look at any teams that are consistently good, 92 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,600 Speaker 1: and it's throughout the year they have lolls where in 93 00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:29,320 Speaker 1: the last two seasons, I feel like there's always a 94 00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 1: time where people will start talking about the Chiefs like 95 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 1: they're struggling and what are they going to do? You know, 96 00:04:34,279 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: and then boom they find a way through it. And 97 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 1: I think that was what we did, like I said, 98 00:04:37,760 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 1: two years ago, really well, and that has to become 99 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: our identity because it's not going to ever go perfect. 100 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 2: Everybody's asked about the chip on the shoulder from last year. 101 00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 2: What did you learn last year that you'll take forward. 102 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, the mindset of how you respond to adversity, you know, 103 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,000 Speaker 1: I think it's it's more than just you have to 104 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 1: take ownership of We all have to take ownership of 105 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,080 Speaker 1: the team, you know. I think it's one thing to 106 00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:05,680 Speaker 1: take ownership of yourself and being an individual. That's not 107 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,039 Speaker 1: how teams work though. You know, it's not just about you. 108 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 1: It's not just about you keeping a good mindset and 109 00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:13,599 Speaker 1: getting through it and seeing to the other side. I 110 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: think it's about how do you bring people with you? 111 00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:17,880 Speaker 1: And I know a bunch of the leaders on the 112 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,159 Speaker 1: team we've talked a lot this off season of how 113 00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:21,640 Speaker 1: to build that and how to do that, and how 114 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: to create that mindset of it's it's us and we 115 00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:29,040 Speaker 1: kind of have this this uh, this unity in our 116 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: group where no matter what the situations are, we're together. 117 00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,680 Speaker 1: And I think that that was something where, you know, 118 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: was a little week last year and our team turns out. 119 00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean I didn't it didn't seem like it was 120 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:40,400 Speaker 1: an issue until it was. You know, it kind of 121 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 1: just rears its head. 122 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 2: At the wrong time, but you can't know it until 123 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 2: you get. 124 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: There exactly, and then it's too late, you know. So 125 00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: I think for us, we've learned our lesson about that. 126 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: I think just a little bit of the intensity, the 127 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: attention to detail, the mindset of just always trying to 128 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,240 Speaker 1: get better, you know, and and being you have to 129 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,920 Speaker 1: be perfectionists, you know. I think when we were when 130 00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,839 Speaker 1: we were winning and we were on that run, you know, 131 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,760 Speaker 1: I guess we were eight and three or whatever it was. 132 00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,760 Speaker 1: I felt like towards the end of it, including myself, 133 00:06:06,760 --> 00:06:08,920 Speaker 1: we all kind of let a few things slip and 134 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:12,599 Speaker 1: we were having great results, we were winning games, but 135 00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:14,640 Speaker 1: even if you look at some of those games, a 136 00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,320 Speaker 1: lot of times we made it harder on ourselves. We 137 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:18,160 Speaker 1: could have ran away with a couple of them. Maybe 138 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 1: I had a couple bad turnovers at the wrong time, man, 139 00:06:22,040 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: the defense bailed me out or vice versa, and then 140 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: you look back at the end of the season, and 141 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: that's exactly what hurt us would be. Those would be 142 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:34,760 Speaker 1: those mistakes and then boom, the defense doesn't bail you out, 143 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:36,839 Speaker 1: or the offense doesn't bail the defense out or whatever 144 00:06:36,839 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: it is, and then you're losing those games instead of 145 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:40,400 Speaker 1: findal way to win them. 146 00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,640 Speaker 3: So we're gonna get off last season. 147 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:47,160 Speaker 2: But I got to ask, last five six games this season, 148 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 2: how how was it you get through that? I don't 149 00:06:51,279 --> 00:06:53,440 Speaker 2: want to ask how hurt you were, but everybody wants 150 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 2: to know how much did it affect it? 151 00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:59,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it was a bunch of injuries. Obviously 152 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: they were all different. You know. It was definitely the 153 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: most I've been injured in my career of just played football. 154 00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: Just that many different things going on in one season, So, 155 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 1: I mean it was challenging. I felt like not being 156 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,280 Speaker 1: able to really I didn't get to practice much the 157 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:14,480 Speaker 1: back half or. 158 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,679 Speaker 2: When you can't practice consistently, it's just tough, right, it's. 159 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,160 Speaker 1: Tough, and there's there's some things where you know, normally 160 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,400 Speaker 1: you might miss a couple throws a game, maybe one 161 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: or two, you feel like you just miss that are 162 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: just inaccurate. And you know, when you don't feel like 163 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: you have the best timing because you haven't been able 164 00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: to get the reps during the week. Of course, there's 165 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:36,720 Speaker 1: some things that carry over that you've done for the 166 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:40,880 Speaker 1: whole year, but when you don't always have that timing 167 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: and that trust getting all those reps during the week, 168 00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:49,480 Speaker 1: that might multiply it by two. So, you know, I 169 00:07:49,480 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: felt like I had a few of those, you know, 170 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,280 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. Obviously, just from a 171 00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: mobility standpoint, it's you feel a lot better when you 172 00:07:58,040 --> 00:07:59,960 Speaker 1: feel healthy and you can move and you can react 173 00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:02,320 Speaker 1: and play instead of thinking about how do I, you know, 174 00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: how do I avoid some of these hits, How do 175 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: I kind of take care of myself and and be 176 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: able to play the whole game. So I think being 177 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 1: able to just play like myself too was limited to 178 00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: a certain extent. But like I said, I mean, it's 179 00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: a results business. So when you step on the field, 180 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 1: you gotta you have to perform, and I understand that, 181 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 1: especially this position, and so I take obviously accountability for that, 182 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:28,679 Speaker 1: but definitely think that that's something that is a huge 183 00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: goal of mine, is to what can I do to 184 00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,480 Speaker 1: stay as healthy as possible the whole year, to where 185 00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,360 Speaker 1: I feel like I can really just play like myself, you. 186 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:43,640 Speaker 2: Know, Is that sometimes giving up on a play or yeah, yeah, definitely. 187 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:44,960 Speaker 1: I think it's no one when to give up on 188 00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,720 Speaker 1: a play. Being smart. Taking a profit at times maybe not. 189 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 1: If you've got a guy opening the flat, maybe you 190 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:59,000 Speaker 1: take that. It is for sure, that's a and that's 191 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:02,319 Speaker 1: a big saying quarterbacks just in general. Yeah, I mean 192 00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: just taking a profit at times. I mean obviously you 193 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 1: have to have I mean, I think to be a 194 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: great quarterback in this league you do have to have 195 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 1: a killer instinct and you got to know when to, 196 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: you know, I guess put the nail on the coffin 197 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,400 Speaker 1: whatever you want to call it, and take those risks. 198 00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,920 Speaker 1: And I don't think I really have an issue with 199 00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,840 Speaker 1: doing that. It's it's getting better at the other side 200 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: of it of how can I just be more consistent? 201 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 1: How can I take these you know, four or five 202 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 1: six yard gains over and over again, waiting on the 203 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:31,120 Speaker 1: right opportunity instead of trying to make some of those 204 00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,120 Speaker 1: happen that you don't necessarily need in that moment, and 205 00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 1: then when it's not good, moving on to the next down. 206 00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: What is the we always say, or Mike McCoy quarterback coach, 207 00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: always says, next best thing, Just just do the next 208 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:43,600 Speaker 1: best thing. If it's not there, can just get off schedule, 209 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,080 Speaker 1: off script, do the next best thing. So that's that 210 00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,599 Speaker 1: is a good SoundBite for us as a quarterback, and 211 00:09:48,679 --> 00:09:49,840 Speaker 1: that's what you have to do, gotcha. 212 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 2: It seems from listening to you in some pressers, from 213 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: watching it, a confidence level right now as high that's 214 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,319 Speaker 2: ever been going into a season. Meeting year three in 215 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: Doug's system feels like you know it, you have command 216 00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 2: of it. 217 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:07,079 Speaker 3: All that feel there. 218 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,080 Speaker 1: One hundred percent. No, I feel great, and that's all 219 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:11,480 Speaker 1: it should be. I think every year you should get 220 00:10:11,520 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: more confident, more comfortable, especially that you're in the same system. 221 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,680 Speaker 1: So it feels good going on year three. I really 222 00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,679 Speaker 1: feel like this off season I've had a big, big 223 00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: role and kind of not necessarily changing who we're gonna be, 224 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,160 Speaker 1: but just in being a part of those conversations and 225 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,480 Speaker 1: you know. I think you know, Press and Doug have 226 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: done a good job of keeping me involved and. 227 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,000 Speaker 3: In the confidence to be in them right, Yeah. 228 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:36,520 Speaker 1: And that just lets me own it even more. I 229 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:38,120 Speaker 1: know what we're doing. I know what we're trying to do. 230 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 1: I know what we're trying to accomplish, whether that's in 231 00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:43,040 Speaker 1: practice or in the season. I know what this off 232 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,880 Speaker 1: season we're trying to get better at. You know, I 233 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,559 Speaker 1: feel like I have a part in that, so that 234 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:49,679 Speaker 1: that makes you own it even more. And then you 235 00:10:49,679 --> 00:10:51,360 Speaker 1: you know it more. You know the ins and outs, 236 00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:52,680 Speaker 1: you know how to help people, you know how to 237 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 1: teach people better, all those things. I think that just 238 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: helps me help everyone around me as well. Is knowing 239 00:10:59,320 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: it like a coach. I think that's where I've definitely 240 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: taken another step and been able to play faster too, 241 00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: because I know why we're doing certain things for certain 242 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:09,280 Speaker 1: looks and whatever it is. 243 00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 3: I know. 244 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 2: The answer to this question for Jaguars fans is one 245 00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,160 Speaker 2: hundred percent of the time. How much time do you 246 00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 2: spend thinking about your contract? 247 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 3: Because it's all I'm asked about? 248 00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean, not not a ton. I mean obviously when 249 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: talking to my agent about it or something like that. 250 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: You know, we kind of talk about the scenarios and 251 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: you know, possibilities, But besides that, you know, I don't 252 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:37,880 Speaker 1: really spend too much time thinking about it outside of that. 253 00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: You know, you have to though, you have to at 254 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: the end of the day. It's you know, you have to. 255 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:45,560 Speaker 1: You know, finances are important and you want to you 256 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: want to make sure everything is squared away and is 257 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,200 Speaker 1: kind of in your best interest. But you also, you know, 258 00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:54,240 Speaker 1: you understand the whole picture, and there's more than just 259 00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: it's a team. You know, there's a lot that goes 260 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: into it, so it's kind of a it's a interesting 261 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:02,280 Speaker 1: thing and the whole the whole deal. I mean, there's 262 00:12:02,280 --> 00:12:04,160 Speaker 1: just a lot that goes into it. But that's why 263 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: I don't do it myself. I have an agent that 264 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,000 Speaker 1: I pay that that's done a great job, so I 265 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 1: just kind of let him handle that, him and him 266 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 1: and Trent and whoever handle that and have those conversations. 267 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:15,600 Speaker 1: But yeah, I mean, it's obviously something you think about 268 00:12:15,679 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: and it's it's part of it's part of your future, 269 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:21,080 Speaker 1: so you think about it and it's important. But like 270 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,280 Speaker 1: I've said, I have the same job, so you can't 271 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: let it control you. 272 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,079 Speaker 2: And it feels like something where I'm not putting words 273 00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,800 Speaker 2: in your mouth, but there's a feeling on both sides 274 00:12:29,840 --> 00:12:32,559 Speaker 2: that it's going to get done. So I guess I'll 275 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 2: ask you sort of a prerequisite question when it does 276 00:12:36,040 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 2: get done and you sort of this is the place 277 00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 2: where you're going to be long term? 278 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 3: Is that important to you? 279 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: Like? Very important? 280 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 2: And is that a cool feeling to sort of know 281 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 2: that it's going to be I guess that marriage for 282 00:12:48,960 --> 00:12:51,440 Speaker 2: the long term, you'll be identified with the city and 283 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 2: the team and all that. 284 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: It's yeah, it's really important. You know we I mean 285 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:57,840 Speaker 1: me and me and my wife really and my whole 286 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,520 Speaker 1: family and my wife's family and everybody. We've fallen in 287 00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,679 Speaker 1: love with Jacksonville. And I'm not even talking about just football, 288 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:06,640 Speaker 1: but just living here. You know, the people have been 289 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: great to us. It's been an awesome place to live 290 00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,280 Speaker 1: and I want to I want to be here, And 291 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 1: that's the biggest thing is from that standpoint is you know, 292 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,000 Speaker 1: I want to be here, but also seeing guys come 293 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: in from other teams and from the outside, free agents, whatever, 294 00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:25,160 Speaker 1: It's turned into a place where guys want to be 295 00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:28,319 Speaker 1: here and that's exciting and I'm excited to be a 296 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,160 Speaker 1: part of that for the long haul. Like that's my goal, 297 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: you know, I want to I want to be here 298 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,839 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville's grown over time. 299 00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 3: You don't come in as a rookie feeling that, but obviously. 300 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: That's you're in a new city. And obviously my rookie 301 00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,240 Speaker 1: year was an interesting experience and you're trying to figure 302 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,600 Speaker 1: things out. And I mean, I will say though, I've 303 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: always loved it here as far as there's a place 304 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,080 Speaker 1: to live. Loved it and the people. I've kind of 305 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,000 Speaker 1: obviously dealt with people in the city and fans through 306 00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:58,040 Speaker 1: like good terrible times, great times, kind of up and 307 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: down times, and I feel like the people here really 308 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: treat you well and with respect. And I know it's 309 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:07,600 Speaker 1: not always that way and other sports towns if you're 310 00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 1: not playing great. So you know, I've always appreciated that. 311 00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: It's it's really made it makes our job easier. So 312 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:16,360 Speaker 1: I appreciate our fans. But it's a great place to live, 313 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:17,560 Speaker 1: and I want to be here and I want to 314 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,160 Speaker 1: I want to take us and I want to be 315 00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:21,880 Speaker 1: a part of what I know this this city and 316 00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 1: this organization can accomplish, and that's when it's Super Bowl. 317 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 3: So how many pictures do you take a week? 318 00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,800 Speaker 1: It depends how much I go out. That's one thing 319 00:14:31,840 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: too about living here. I mean obviously you have you 320 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:36,640 Speaker 1: have some of that, and you're happy to do it, 321 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,920 Speaker 1: you know, for kids and fans. You know, if you can. 322 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: It's it's an easy thing for us to If that 323 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 1: makes someone's day, well why wouldn't you do it? You know, 324 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,040 Speaker 1: it's not that hard for us. 325 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:50,000 Speaker 2: I have most photographed guy in jackson Yeah, probably up there. 326 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: We got a few on the team, I'm sure, but 327 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: you know it's people here are also pretty respectful about that. 328 00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,960 Speaker 1: You know, there's other places I go where it's not 329 00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: the same way, but here in Jacksonville, I think people 330 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: are very respectu full of you know, a personal time 331 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: and being just at dinner and family and stuff. Not 332 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: many people are interrupting your meals and stuff like that. 333 00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,640 Speaker 1: So people are great here. 334 00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:09,160 Speaker 3: Gotcha. 335 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: Final question before you do the last five vibe around 336 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: the team right now, what's your sense just as you 337 00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 2: close out OTAs and get ready feel good about it? 338 00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:22,840 Speaker 1: Feel great? There's been a really heightened sense of urgency 339 00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,240 Speaker 1: just in ot AS. This has been the most intense 340 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 1: OTAs I've been a part of. It's my fourth one, 341 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: it's the most intense one for sure. So I think 342 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: just the attention to detail. It's it's a hard thing 343 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,560 Speaker 1: because guys that are experienced, you understand that ot as aren't. 344 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,480 Speaker 1: It's not the prize. The main thing is to win 345 00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,120 Speaker 1: your reps in OTAs. I mean, they're important because it 346 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: prepares you. But we understand the big picture, but we've 347 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 1: taken that to another level of the intensity of There 348 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: has to be an intensity that we show the young 349 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,760 Speaker 1: guys though, and the rookies that are coming in, and 350 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: there has to be there. This has to matter, you know, 351 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: I think, and having a little bit of pressure built in. 352 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: You don't want to have too much pressure to where 353 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,240 Speaker 1: you want guys to feel like they still can make mistakes, 354 00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:10,880 Speaker 1: because that's part of the learning and growing is making 355 00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 1: mistakes and learning from them. But the pressure comes from 356 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 1: this matters and what we do matters, and when it's 357 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: not just a walk in the park when we go 358 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: out to OTA's and we're not just messing around. So 359 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:23,840 Speaker 1: I think that intensity has been there this year and 360 00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:26,560 Speaker 1: it's been awesome. Souh obviously you got to take that 361 00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,760 Speaker 1: into training camp, and training camp is when it really 362 00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:32,960 Speaker 1: gets intense. And but it starts now, and I think 363 00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 1: especially as the rookies come in, and how can we 364 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,960 Speaker 1: get those guys up to speed? And the free agency 365 00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: just got here too, how can you get them up 366 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,520 Speaker 1: to speed as quickly as possible so that we can 367 00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: start making those improvements. Like we're in training camp in OTAs, 368 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: if you can just kind of get ahead of the curve, 369 00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:50,640 Speaker 1: I think that's the point of this offseason program. 370 00:16:50,680 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 3: Got You last thing? We do it call it the ozone. 371 00:16:52,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 2: Five five quick questions. Your last binge watch? 372 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:06,440 Speaker 1: Watch last binge watch? You're gonna think about that. I 373 00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:09,440 Speaker 1: watched the new show recently, Outlander. I'll say that that's 374 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: what I've been That's a great show. 375 00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 2: Got you last song you heard in the car on 376 00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:14,200 Speaker 2: the way in this one. 377 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: I just got up to date.

I forget what it's called, 381 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,640 Speaker 1: but trying to get up to speed on. 382 00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,400 Speaker 2: That young hip guy which I'm not sport other than 383 00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,800 Speaker 2: football that you would have played. 384 00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: I mean, now i'd say golf. That's like my favorite 385 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,760 Speaker 1: sport other than football right now. But as a kid, 386 00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:40,720 Speaker 1: I love basketball.

Thinks they 395 00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 2: could be in the NBA. 396 00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:02,440 Speaker 1: So that's yeah, that's uh. You see how big those 397 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: NBA guys are, the guys that look smaller like my height. 398 00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:07,760 Speaker 3: Do you remember your first touchdown past? 399 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:14,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, Chris Manherd's Houston Ever Oh ever I don't.
