And so that's the thing that stands out to me is the idea that even when it's not going smooth, even when it's friction filled, even when the flow hasn't been found, you're not out of the game.

And so that's the exciting thing from my lens, especially off the heels of an adverse outcome in Cincinnati to show that immediately.

Yeah.

You know, I think, gosh, there's a lot of layers to that.

I know this.

just because we've done it to date doesn't mean that it's guaranteed going forward and so to fall into the victim loop or the doom loop of thinking you got it all figured out is a mistake and so just like i talked about a response to an adverse outcome in cincinnati

What is our response to success?

And so that is a version of where the focus falls and making sure that we're continuing to level up, continuing to iterate, continuing to evolve over the course of what is a very long season.

I know.

shoot five weeks into 2024 I didn't feel the pains of the Jaguars right but no different than the Jaguars in 2024 I was on a football team that was one and four with a defense that was struggling and by the time we got to week 18 it had evolved it had morphed into a very

let's call it chaos oriented group that disrupted offenses.

And so as much as that was able to go from bad to good, we can't allow anything other than good to great in our, let's call it next step as a defense.

And so certainly relying on the floor raisers from pro free agency, the intangibly rich elements that really that,

back end group does provide innately and I think if I were to I know a lot of layers so I could go a lot of different ways but the idea of Jordan Lewis

entering this organization right he is truly being nothing more than who he is and it was intentional to bring in someone like him obviously him in the end to be able to provide a very similar level of leadership that this organization saw in calais that i had seen previously and some folks we had brought in in 2017 with the rams

when Sean McVay first entered the equation as a head coach.

So there was definitely, there were examples of what helped trigger turnaround and Jordan being a big part of that in the now.

Yeah, this is a tough outfit, and they can beat their tails off.

And you want to talk about resilience.

They've been through it, and they're going through it, and they still find themselves 3-0 despite a heavy volume of injuries across all position groups.
