He tackles two pass defenders, and he's a part of the Cardiac Bears. Here he is. Hey. CB1. JJ, Jalen Johnson. Jay, how you doing, bro?

0

20.673 - 22.596 Jaylon Johnson

What's up, man? Good to see y'all again.

0

22.728 - 33.275 Shannon Sharpe

Good to see you. Hey, when you come on nightcap, you normally have to get the comeback later this season because you had a Pro Bowl all pro season or your team's in the playoff. That's just the way it pans out.

33.295 - 33.997 Jaylon Johnson

No doubt.

Chapter 2: What does Texans RB Woody Marks reveal about his breakout performance?

34.017 - 34.619 Jaylon Johnson

100%.

0

35.601 - 57.949 Shannon Sharpe

So, that game is not going the way you want it. Uh... They're going up and down the field. Jordan Love, three touchdowns in the first half, 21-3. So walkers through the locker room at halftime, what did Ben Johnson say? What were some of the leaders saying? And then the start of that fourth quarter, what was the sideline like?

0

59.144 - 61.808 Jaylon Johnson

Honestly, it was honestly a crazy turn of events.

0

Chapter 3: How does Liam Cohen connect with a reporter after the Jags playoff loss?

61.848 - 79.091 Jaylon Johnson

We, of course, come out, we turned up, we ready to go, and then we go down 21-3, and it's like, man, everybody shut the hell up. Ain't no more talking. Nah, ain't no more rah-rah. Yeah, nah, ain't no more hoorah. And I just remember Kevin Byard the whole time, he was like, man, talking ain't going to help us execute. We need to stop talking. doing all this and settle in.

0

79.111 - 95.58 Jaylon Johnson

And then really just at halftime, that was the biggest thing. Like it can't get no worse than this. Like, I mean, at the end of the day, it's 21-3, almost 21 blow. But I think too, like coach showed us a video, like a whole breakdown during the, during camp of the Falcons and Patriots game when they went up 28-3 and,

0

Chapter 4: What are the implications of Mike Tomlin stepping down as Steelers head coach?

95.56 - 125.567 Jaylon Johnson

wow that and just shows like the composure yeah he showed that uh that to us early so just like talking to joe tooney telling because he was on the winning side of it and then jerry was on the losing side of it so having both of them get their perspectives on it and then it really just he brought it back up like this is that moment like think back to the conversation that we had and what it took for for them to get back into it is one possession at a time defense gets stopped often start putting points on the board and that was really it so when we came out on defense it was like man we got to get stopped if we we figured if they didn't score no more then we'll win the game so

0

125.547 - 129.051 Jaylon Johnson

But that's all we were focused on, really, on defense, just executing and playing more aggressive.

0

130.413 - 150.718 Unknown

Hey, what has it been like? That entire culture has shifted because of one man. Obviously, having a quarterback like Caleb Williams, and you get someone, a coach, a player-friendly coach, as I like to call it, in Ben Johnson and coming in there, is he the sole reason for the reason you guys are having the kind of success you guys are having?

0

152.42 - 159.945 Jaylon Johnson

I mean, it's hard to say the sole reason. I think... for one, just the timing, I would say of everything. And the only person get credit for that is God, of course.

0

160.005 - 182.908 Jaylon Johnson

But I think really just the timing of when Ben got here, when Caleb got here, when a lot of these pieces all got here, I think it'd be different if he got here three, four years ago, the team looked different situation is different, but I'll definitely say his leadership, his competitiveness has definitely changed the trajectory of how we looked at approaching games. And again, too, I mean,

183.378 - 198.18 Jaylon Johnson

You can be a good leader all you want, but you're dialing it up on offense as well, and he's always been doing that. I think just the way he controls the game, even going into that game, he was like, if we win it, we want to receive, we want to control the tempo, control the ball. And it's like, no, man, I ain't never heard nobody say this.

198.2 - 207.273 Jaylon Johnson

Oh, we want the defense to go out there and set the tone. It's like, no, let us get the ball, let us control the tempo, let us take some of the time off and things like that. So he's definitely ahead of it.

Chapter 5: How do players maintain composure during high-pressure situations?

207.313 - 213.874 Shannon Sharpe

He's an offensive-minded coach. He wants to attack. He's an offensive minded coach. He wants to attack. He's like, oh, they think they got a defense.

0

213.894 - 215.138 Jaylon Johnson

No, we want the ball.

0

215.298 - 240.047 Shannon Sharpe

We want the ball. We're going to show them. We're going to take this ball and go right down to their field. There was a throw. And I know you saw it on the sideline. That one that Caleb... That's your season. That's fourth and 11. If you don't get that, JJ, your season's over. He's rolling to his left. He backs and stumbles and throws a dime for 15. When you saw that...

0

Chapter 6: What role does team culture play in a player's success?

240.871 - 260 Jaylon Johnson

He's more accurate going that way. That's the crazy part. Like, it's all, like, it's backwards as it sounds. It's like, you don't even want to flush him to his lap because he can still get it off accurate. But when he threw it, it was just like, man, what the? Ooh, okay. It was just like, one of those was like, you think like, man, it's over. He out here doing the crazy stuff and it works.

0

260.06 - 274.423 Jaylon Johnson

So I think, I can't even say it works. That's just part of his game. Like, at this point, it's not even something that you can just say is, that just happens or a magical genius. Like, nah, he's like, he's legit at that. And then he does it in practice and been clearly been doing this forever. So it was just, it was just really who he is.

0

Chapter 7: What are the key differences between NFL and college football coaching?

274.443 - 287.466 Jaylon Johnson

And it's funny because I think it was yesterday came in. I've seen him. It might've been a day. I've seen him. I'm going to say, Hey man, sometimes I got to look a man in the eye and just say, say, good job. You're doing a heck of a job. Cause some of the stuff he does is, is, is crazy. That's not something you'll see every day.

0

288.307 - 311.951 Shannon Sharpe

I mean, I'm looking at you guys. You guys were down with less than two minutes to go to the Raiders 24-19. You win that game. You're down to the Bengals with 19 seconds. You win that game. You're down against the Vikings with four seconds. You win that game. Second and goal, 27-16, Green Bay, 4-18 on the clock, and you win that game.

Chapter 8: What are the predictions for the upcoming NFL playoff games?

312.944 - 329.569 Shannon Sharpe

How have you guys been able to maintain your composure when all seems lost? Like, damn, how do we find ourselves in that situation? And somehow you guys make a play on defense, you get a stop, and then when you turn the ball back over to Caleb in that offense, they cash it in.

0

331.068 - 348.24 Jaylon Johnson

I think execution brings confidence. And I think at the end of the day for us, we've been able to execute it down the stretch over and over. And with that, you naturally have confidence where it's like, all we got to do is give them opportunity to close the game out or put it in our hands to close the game out. I think that's really the mentality and the mindset.

0

348.26 - 362.598 Jaylon Johnson

As long as there's time on the clock, we got a way to win. So yeah, I mean, it's just one of those things where it's switch forced. I mean, for a long time, it's been exact, obviously where we find ways to lose the damn game. So I think for us in this building and this culture and what we're, what we have now, we find ways to win.

363.94 - 373.971 Shannon Sharpe

There's a viral video going on where you're kneeling down, tricking on Christian on the final play of the game. Walk us through that moment. What was going, what were you saying to him and what made you do that?

0

374.732 - 392.602 Jaylon Johnson

Yeah. I mean, of course, everybody's seen the prayer video when I prayed for him, when he injured his knee. Um, but really, I think for me, it was just really going back in and I don't even say checking on him, but just telling him like way to push through way to battle back and come back from what he's, what, what he, um, injured and all that. And of course just competitive.

392.722 - 408.544 Jaylon Johnson

I mean, he's still fast and still run, still blazing. I think it's just a, just a blessing to just see him out there. So, I mean, of course, after the second game and we don't, or the second and third game, we don't have to see each other no more. Definitely wanted to take that time and tell him like, nah, like I'm proud of you and how you bounce back. And I felt like that was something I,

408.524 - 411.147 Jaylon Johnson

I don't want to say old him, but I feel like it's something I had in my heart to do.

413.39 - 417.674 Shannon Sharpe

A lot has been made about Ben in the locker room saying, F the Packers after the win.

417.754 - 417.935 Jaylon Johnson

Yeah.
