Transcript
00:00 Shane, after the game, Trevor Lawrence told AR,
00:04 "Take care of yourself. Protect yourself."
00:07 What kinds of conversations have you had with him
00:10 along those lines?
00:12 I think it's just eliminating the big hits.
00:14 There's a certain situation, obviously, the fourth and five,
00:16 when we got down in there, you had to go get it there.
00:18 But just like other times, when you can get out of bounds,
00:20 get out of bounds and be smart.
00:22 There's a time and place for it, but just got to be smart.
00:24 It's a long season to take care of your body.
00:27 Did he get hurt on that first run?
00:31 Did that impact play calling?
00:33 No. I mean, there was the one he hit, the big one,
00:36 and then the next one, you know, there was a pull read there,
00:39 and that's where his knee -- like, he could have pulled it
00:41 there, but he didn't, you know what I mean,
00:42 on his own read play.
00:44 And then I talked to him on sidelines.
00:45 He was like, "I'm good. I'm good."
00:47 So he should be fine.
00:48 Is there a fine line that running quarterbacks --
00:52 how did you deal with it when Jaylen hurts?
00:54 Yeah, I mean, I think there is a fine line,
00:55 but I think if you go look at it statistically,
00:58 most quarterbacks, if they do get hurt,
01:00 if you look at all the numbers,
01:01 it's within the pocket more than anything.
01:04 So, again, we have those conversations,
01:06 you know, weekly about, you know, when to be smart.
