00:00What is the simple underlying truth to Brian Johnson, Tavita Pritchard, and David Blau

00:05getting these interviews?

00:10When you are part of a staff that works with a young quarterback that comes in and has

00:15an all-time season, everybody wants to talk to you, man.

00:22They want to see if there's some secret sauce involved that they can maybe get in on.

00:27What was it that made it go?

00:31I like Tavita a lot.

00:32I've known him for a few years now.

00:35After two years ago, when Tavita worked with Sam Howell all year, nobody was calling.

00:41Tavita works with Jayden all year, whoa, what do we got here?

00:48What do you see in this kid that made him good, in Jayden's sense?

00:54What was it?

00:55How can we get our guy to do the same thing?

00:58All those little things happen.

01:00It's not always just the coach.

01:03They got the coach who experienced, like players get an experience with a coach, the coach

01:07get an experience with a player.

01:08The coach learned a little bit of how to deal with certain levels of players too, the way

01:13you talk to them.

01:15Did they have the, I don't want anybody ever on a team if he's not self-motivated.

01:20If he's self-motivated or not, those type of things.

01:25I think Tavita Pritchard is a talented, really smart guy.

01:28Tavita Pritchard is wild if you think about it in this fashion.

01:32He was Andrew Luck's backup at Stanford.

01:36He's a Stanford guy, incredibly smart, incredibly down to earth.

01:40Now Liam Cohen is thinking about bringing him in to Jacksonville to be the Jaguars offensive

01:45coordinator.

01:46What do we know about Tavita?

01:48He's been the QB coach here, some mobile quarterbacks throughout and helping guys.

01:56I mean, how through a lot of picks, but if you look at Jaden this year, they really played

02:01under control despite being a mobile guy and similar to the Houston situation where that

02:08is Stroud's gig, Stroud ain't going anywhere.

02:11So whoever's coming in needs to make it work with CJ Stroud in Jacksonville.

02:16That is Trevor Lawrence's gig.

02:19Lawrence ain't going anywhere.

02:20They just committed a 60 mil a year for that kid last year, I think.

02:22So they need a guy that could come in and make it work for Trevor.

02:26And I could see how, if you're the, Liam Cohen just got that job coming from Tampa, right?

02:32Liam Cohen's going to be the play caller.

02:34He didn't take that job to give somebody else play calling.

02:37This is his first time being a head coach.

02:39So he needs, you don't want to oversimplify it and say it's a vibes guy, but you want

02:43somebody that watches film the right way.

02:46You want somebody that makes sure their quarterback understands when to risk it, when to protect

02:52the football.

02:53And those have been really big problems for Lawrence, I would say.

02:56And I think Tavita makes a lot of sense in that capacity.
