TOM COUGLILIN - JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS - CONFERENCE CALLNOVEMBER 30, 1999
Did Bill Cowher give you something to think about with his new wide receiver this week? Healways gives you something to think about. Bill does a heck of a job, and he always keeps youguessing.
Does that change anything you mi2ht do in this game to prepare for? Naturally, yourpreparation, defensively, starts with the quarterback. You have to think that way, You have togo and make a plan that way, and you have to take into considention (Mike) Tomczak's lastweekends. You really have to go back as Kordell (Stewart) appeared as a receiver a couple ofyears when he did so many things from a standpoint of gadget plays as well through the optionpass. He was involved in the option play himself. All the kind of things that can happen whenhe's playing at wide.
Have you become a better offensive coordinator in the last couple weeks? I think I'm the sameas I've always been. Basically, what I try to do is try to figure out the status of our team, whatare strengths and weaknesses are, and what we have to do to win a game. Last weekend and thelast couple weekends we had some production. We've thrown the ball more. I don't necessarilylike the lack of balance that occurred last weekend in terms of passes versus runs, butnevertheless, that's something we thought we had to do to win. I do not like the turnovers. Weturned the ball over last weekend in some spots where we were in position to score some points.That really put us in the back seat.
Are you syreadin2 it out a little more? We are spreading it out a little more. We are getting theball around to a lot of people. Kyle Brady's injury will affect us, without a doubt, because hehad been performing well.
How is Fred Taylor? He's going to work today, and we'll see. We'll see. It's one of thosethings where the doctors are constantly trying to appraise me, and Fred as to where he is andwhat his status is. We have to overcome there. If we can and get him healthy, he certainly willbe well worth the wait.
You had such dramatic improvement on defense. Has Dom Capers meant that much? Therehave been a lot of things that meant that much. One has been Dom and Dom is an excellentfootball coach without a doubt. We talked about that our first time around. The other thing isthat we went out and made our defense our number one priority. We drafted for defense. Weworked on the free agent market for defense. We got our people that needed medical help at theend of last season. We got them back and got them healthy, although we lost a guy here andthere this year for a game or two. Renaldo (Wynn) missed a few games. (Joel) Smeenge misseda couple games. We've been able to keep that group together on the field and that's helped us.
Does this game hold as much meaning now that the Steelers have a losing record? It alwaysholds as much meaning. The Steelers have always been the team that we felt coming into thisthing that we would have to beat. In order to get where we want to go, nothing changes there.They're a proud franchise. They're a physical football team. They have great pride. I don'texpect it to be any different.
In this AFC race where you have teams in the East, the cold weather teams, and the possibilitythat the Title game could be up there. Is it important for you to get home field for the playoffs?We've always felt that way. We've always had a strong, strong feeling about trying toaccomplish that. We've not been able to do that. In '96 we played our way through some verycold weather cities and did well with that. Naturally, what we would like to do is and we do startwith the big picture now, we have to take these games one at a time. We're aware of thisopportunity here in terms of home field advantage.
What has Carnell (Lake) done to help your defense? He provides great leadership. Hecommunicates well back there. He's done a good job with our young secondary. He gives usstability. That's exactly what he does. He has a tremendous work ethic. He leads by example,and h&s outstanding in meetings. Players are constantly asking and discussing, and he's inmiddle of all that stuff. He's just done a tremendous job.
Are (Fernando) Bryant and (Donovin) Darius coming in their own as secondary guys?Fernando has just done an outstanding job. He's challenged week in and week out because he isa rookie. Nevertheless, he's improved. He's an outstanding competitor. The game has not beentoo big for him. Donovin is a young safety who really had done an outstanding job as a rookiecoming to the line of scrimmage and has worked real hard on the cover aspect. I think that'swhat Carnell has helped Donovin in that aspect of it.
Do you think the Steelers wide receivers are a little bit more dangerous from the last time youplayed them because there is a little more speed in there now? I think so. I do. I think they're agroup of people that are always capable of making a big play. Without a doubt, we're aware ofthe ability of (Troy) Edwards. We're very much aware of Hines Ward and (Courtney) Hawkins'contribution. They're a solid group.
With Kordell (Stewart) there is more sneed than there was. Right? When Kordell goes in there,it gives them more flexibility. They can do some things with any number of wide receivers, andthey do have a guy that can take it.
When Mark (Brunell) got hurt, you successfully plugged a couple guys in there and then they.went on to be free agents elsewhere. Is the starting quarterback overrated at any time? Can aguy come in and do that kind of job and lead a team? No, it's not overrated. I think it's a verydifficult job. It's ajob in which you really have to have a unique individual to perform in thatrole. We have an idea, a formula on what we want, and we investigate players who can have thatkind of capability. We found that. You have to be a smart individual. You have to be able tolearn and do a good job without a lot of depth. You have to demonstrate that poise is importantwhen you take the field so that your offensive team feels confident in you. We've had somepeople here that have done a very good job with that.
Are you at all for the possibility that the Steelers will do more with Kordell (Stewart)than just put him at wide receiver, that they might use him in that role they did three years ago?We have a lot of things that we have to be prepared. You're talking about a short week, and wehave to do the best job we can of prioritizing what we think can happen and then verbalize andtry to have our players visualize some of the other aspects of it. You have to deal with what youthink are the priorities.
MARK BRUNELL - JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS - CONFERENCE CALLNOVEMBER 30, 1999
Are things coming together in the last couple weeks? The last two weeks have beenpretty good for us. Offensively, we've been able to get some good numbers, put somepoints on the board. We've been pleased. Hopefully, we can keep it going.
What has been the difference? Well, every part of our offensive game has cometogether. We've been running the ball well. We're throwing it—each position, the line,the receivers, the running backs are all doing a good job. At this time of the year, we'rerealizing that we have to be playing good football. We expect to meet some of our goals.Guys are really focus and concentrating on moving the ball, getting some points, and it'sjust coming together.
In light of the fact that you are having such a good season, is it a little frustrating to notbe able to separate yourself from Tennessee? We just can't do anything about that. It isfrustrating; because it's something we have no control over. We would love to be a fewgames ahead of them, but we're not. At the same time, we control our own destiny, Ifwe keep playing the way we are, then we'll be just fine. For us to worry about whatTennessee is doing or Miami or Indianapolis, it's foolish. We can only just control whatwe do.
A whole lot of things have changed since you got together with the Steelers last? Yes, awhole lot has. You're right.
As a uuarterback, can you sympathize with what Kordell (Stewart) is going through rightnow? I've been there. I think every quarterback in this league have been some timeswhere things just aren't clicking the way you'd like them to click. Kordell is a toughplayer. He has a lot of character. He's a hard worker. He'll be fine.
Can you imagine playing wide receiver, and what does that say about him as a teamplayer that he's willing to do that? I think Kordell is just willing to do whatever it takesto win. Kordell is a team player, and personally, I know his number one goal is to winfootball games. However that takes place, he's willing to do that. It says a lot about thekind of person that he is.
How long did it take you to comfortable with Kevin's (Gilbride) system? I feelcomfortable with it having spent a lot of time with him early before the '95 season. Ittakes you a while to get comfortable with any system. The toughest part was that therewere 11 guys on offense that were brand new with him so it was hard to get any kind offlow with it. Kevin is a great teacher. If there's an offensive coordinator in this leaguethat has the experience and the knowledge to get an offense going, it's him. It takes a lotof hard work. It takes a lot of study, but it comes.
What do you think (Kordell) Stewart needs to do? Kordell, again, is a hard worker. Iknow he studies. I know he's spending the time in preparing each week. A lot of what a
quarterback does has to do with what's happening around him. You have to have asupporting cast. You have to have protection. You have to have receivers making playsfor you. You have to have the running game, but Kordell has proven himself time andtime again. He's a great player, and things will work out. There's no question.
You threw 47 passes the other day. Is that more like the Jacksonville's offense we'veseen in the past? It's certainly very similar to what we've done in the past. In the past,however, we've had to throw 47 times. It was because we were behind or playing catch-up. That was the case last week. That's why you saw the high number of balls thrown.
In this offense, you were having some problems early on. Is that coming around now? Itis coming around.
Why? Well, it's coming around because as I said earlier. I think guys are making plays.We get the protection. The receivers are doing all the right things. We're running theball well, and I think we're at a point right now where everything becomes very, veryimportant. Each game is critical. Everyone realizes that. We're really playing welltogether as an offensive team.
Have you become more of a pocket quarterback now? I guess you can say that simplybecause I don't run around as much. We don't do as many boot-legs, or we don't havemany plays designed to get out of the pocket as much. I am in that pocket more. I'dhave to say that's an accurate statement.
Is that because of the injuries you've had? I don't think so. That was in '97 I bangedup my knee a little bit, but since then, I've had no problems with it.
How hard would it be after no playing wide receiver for almost three years to suddenlybecome a wide receiver in the NFL? You'd have to ask a wide receiver.
As a quarterback. can you imagine playing wide receiver? You know what? I'm halfthe athlete Kordell Stewart is, so I couldn't even get close. They wouldn't put him outthere if they didn't think he could get it done. Kordell is an incredible athlete with speedand strength. If any quarterback can do it, it's him.
Is Kevin's offense one a team needs to experience a year or so before you canreally master it? I don't know what the lime frame is. I think it all depends on who youhave rumiing the offense. For us, it took a while to get it going, but we were dealing witha bunch of young players, draft picks, trades, free agents—guys that just came togetherfrom all over the league. Kevin was forced to work with us. It wasn't like we were abunch of guys that have been in the league a number of years and had any experience, butit did takes us awhile to get going offensively.
Did it change much after he left? We brought Chris Palmer in. Chris and Kevin hadworked together at Houston. Chris had his own ideas obviously. A lot of the things thatKevin brought to us in '95, we're still doing today. I think that says a lot about the kind
of coach that he is and what he's brought to our team offensively. We were veryfortunate to have had him. He's a very good football coach.
Does it take something away from this game, which has been a pretty aood rivalry, thefact that the Steelers are out of it? No. It doesn't matter what the records are. The factis the Jaguars are facing Pittsburgh. That, in itself, is enough to bring a lot to this footballgame. From our point of view, this is huge for us simply because of our history, therivalry and this is certainly not one that we're going to overlook or take lightly. This isvery, very important to us because of who we're playing.
What are you thinking now—division championshim. getting home field advantage forthe playoffs? We certainly have long-term goals. We certainly have some things outthere that we would like to achieve. Right now, we're thinking about the Steelers. Wecan't achieve any of those unless we take these games one game at a time. For us to lookpast anyone, it's foolish, or for us to think about anything besides beating our nextopponent, we're not being very smart. Right now, our only thoughts are on Pittsburgh.
Are you pretty excited about what's going on down there this year? The opportunitiesare out there for us. Again, we control our own destiny right now. If we keep doing thethings we've been doing, we'll be in good shape. We have a worthy opponent cominghere Thursday, and that's what we need to be thinking about.
What has Carnell Lake brought to the team as far as chemistry? Carnell has broughtleadership. He has brought experience. He has brought a lot of enthusiasm, and youcouldn't have asked for a better free agent guy to come in and make a difference for us.He's done all that. He's a great player on the field, and even mote than that, he's a greatperson off the field. We're very fortunate to have him.
Is that the same with that other Pittsburgh connection, Dom Capers? He's an incredibleman. He's a great coach, and another guy we are very fortunate to have. He's made abig difference for us this year.
It looked like a little rough beginning, but how are you getting along with your newoffensive coordinator? I had no problems. I know what you may read about, but therehas been no tension. There's been no rift. There's been no frustration between he and I.This year has been smooth sailing. We work well together. We're 10-1. We're doingsome good things.
