What motivated Liam Coen to hire Coach Hamm?
Hey, Liam, when you think back to when you first hired Coach Hamm, just what sort of stood out to you and why you wanted to hire him? How has that sort of been borne out by how impressive the defense has been this year?
Yeah. You know, I think I mentioned it before where I was at Maine and he was at Boston College. We didn't know each other, but his brother was a UMass alum. But I didn't really know them that well. I'd heard of his family. More so because of his brothers that were high school coaches in Jersey. And then I went down to watch a practice at Boston College for staff development. And I just, you know, was watching their practice and saw his style and the way that his players kind of responded to him.
How has Coach Hamm's defensive strategy impacted the Jaguars this season?
Watch their meetings. I was like, oh, dude's pretty impressive, you know, and just kind of kept his name and then linked up a few times randomly. And then he worked for Don Brown at Michigan, which was my college head coach. And so then there was a natural connection. connection that was made and so we kind of just stayed in touch followed them over the years and then when you looked at Green Bay last year their run defense specifically and how they played the run how they played as a group I really respected and he made it hard coming here he made it really hard but It was very clear. I know some of his players in Green Bay at the time were hurt when he left, and that was a huge reason why he didn't really want to leave was because of the relationship with the players.
So his personality shows, right, in our defense and in the staff and the way that they kind of prepare, go through things, you know, the people that he's worked with, you can see so much of what he's taken from those people and made his own. You know, when you see a player walk in to the stadium with his face on his shirt, as Antonio did, it's kind of cool.
What are the strengths of Jordan Poirier and Cole Bishop as safeties?
You know, he shows you that there's a relationship there. And, you know, he's done a great, he's a very passionate person. So it shows in his work. He pours into it, and the relationship piece is the main part that I've always respected and appreciated about camp, and you want the majority of your coaches to be that way, to be relational. And when you work in college a lot, you get that because you have them at your house a lot. You have them over. You're with recruits. You're with families, and you're able to relate in that way, and I think that's what you're seeing.
Yeah.
Practicing pads this week where that's TBD TBD.
What makes James Cook a standout player on film?
Yeah, walk through today. Normal Thursday practice tomorrow, which will that'll be our potential pads day will be tomorrow. We're going to kind of see how things go today and where we are.
Cole Bishop and Jordan Poirier, the safeties from Buffalo. Have you seen the veteran in Jordan help Cole?
I mean, shoot, Jordan Poirier, man, I remember 2020, I think he was there when we were playing there and they were damn good defense. Look, they've been running this similar defense since Coach McDermott's been there. They see all the quarters beaters. They see all the 3D beaters. They see all the quarter quarter half beaters and Jordan Poyer seen a lot of football and he's played a ton of ball.
How is the Jaguars' defense preparing for Josh Allen?
I know he's a leader. He's communicator back there and then you see Bishop getting his hands on the ball, making plays, anticipating some of those concepts that they're used to seeing, and you can tell. They do a lot of pass-offs and coverages, and the back end is pretty tied together, you can tell. I mean, they're, what, number one in pass defense for a reason, and I think those two guys are a big reason why.
James Cook, what stands out to you on film when you watch his abilities?
Elusive. Slippery, elusive, smooth. He's just a – has a great feel for mid-zone, you know, for the zone game. And, you know, the press combinations and then just like he has such a great feel.
What challenges does Josh Allen present to opposing defenses?
And then duo, like if you collapse it all, He's fast enough to bounce it and go one-on-one with a corner that's got a crack replace. And he's fast enough to run around the edge and make that guy miss.
