00:00 >> All right, so first off, we gotta shout out the alien right here.
00:03 >> Yeah, that's my alien mask back there.
00:05 >> [LAUGH] All right, so Jaguars coming up at home this time.
00:08 Obviously, it's been kind of a problem there in Jacksonville, but
00:11 you guys got them here last year.
00:14 What did, does your approach change at all against this team, or
00:17 is it truly clean slate, like new team every single year?
00:20 >> Yeah, I mean, I think it's more of like a clean slate,
00:24 cuz you wanna play every game individual, like from the last.
00:27 Because certain teams do different things well.
00:30 So they have a lot of great players, their defense is a more vet defense.
00:36 They got a lot of guys coming back, I think they play together a lot.
00:40 And when I watch them on tape,
00:43 they look like they enjoy playing football, which is big.
00:49 You know what I'm saying?
00:50 Cuz if you watch somebody and it doesn't look like they, and
00:54 it doesn't look like they wanna be out there, you can tell from the film.
00:59 So watching them, it looks like they're ready to play and
01:02 that they got fired to them.
01:04 And watching their secondary, it looks like they're very active.
01:09 And I think that they're a good team.
01:11 >> They're obviously the favorites in the division again, but
01:14 do you guys feel like you almost have the advantage now that you're in a new scheme
01:17 and they don't really know your scheme with your players together yet?
01:21 >> Yeah, I mean, that may give us a slight advantage.
01:25 I think at the end of the day, it just comes down to who makes more plays.
01:29 But that's definitely something that they have to think twice about, for sure.
01:33 >> Yeah, and then do you, you and Alec, for example,
01:36 you're going into year two together as kind of one of the bigger receiver duos.
01:41 Do you guys pay attention to any of the listicles out there, that list?
01:44 Like Tyreek Hill and Jalen Wall, all these guys.
01:47 And you guys aren't necessarily near the top, does that give you any extra motivation?
01:51 >> No, I mean, I don't pay attention to most of those,
01:53 cuz I don't like reading the good stuff.
01:56 I don't like reading the bad stuff, cuz I don't want it to influence anything.
02:00 I wanna stay here, I don't wanna go up and down, up and down.
02:03 So I just encourage him to not look at that stuff.
02:06 And then I think that if we have a good season together,
02:09 then I think we'll look up next year and we might be on those lists.
02:14 >> Have you guys personally hyped him up yet,
02:15 since he pretty much called game against Jacksonville last year?
02:18 >> Yeah, no, we probably played that clip in there maybe once or twice.
