(On DE Arik Armstead being placed on PUP list and other recent player injury updates) “No, the
only one: Keilan Robinson, just sprained his toe during the rookie camp and so he’ll be limited.
And then during the conditioning test yesterday [OL] Steven Jones, calf, just tweaked his calf, so
he’ll just be a week or two on that.”
(On biggest thing he looks for early with the team) “Started yesterday—just the conditioning of
the team. How they came back in shape and they did a great job and really knocked out that
test, which obviously is part of their physical and everything. I think just for the young guys it’s
the mental. How much can they retain from the last time we were together in June to now.
Then the vets, just kind of picking up sort of where they left off, and maybe knocking a little rust
off and getting back into it.”
(On potential issues with the conditioning test) “No, it was great.”
(On locker room “domino effect” after off-season contract extensions) “I think the domino effect
is how it can uplift your team, right? I think it shows a commitment from the organization that
the guys that have been drafted here can be here long-term. I think that’s a great message for a
lot of the young players that we draft and potentially undrafted guys. It gives you, I think, that
peace of mind as well, especially with the quarterback position. It’s not lingering now, it’s
behind all of us and we can just focus on ball. I think the same with [DE] Josh [Hines-Allen], [CB]
Tyson Campbell and all of those guys, because they’re big money guys. Each one of them
deserves what they got and it’s because of their play on the field. I think it sends a great
message to the rest of the team, that if you do things right both on and off the field you could
be rewarded for it.”
(On not waiting for team chemistry to kick-in later in the season) “Well, I think just looking back
and learning on some of those moments last year, especially at the end of the season. I think we
just have to stay grounded. We’ve got to continue to trust each other, trust our process; the
standard that we’ve put in place here regardless of what happens. Injuries are going to be part
of our game at every position, and it’s got to be a next-man-up type of mentality. That’s got to
be the message moving forward—that it takes everybody and we’ve kind of stretched that this
off-season in making sure everybody is a part of it. We’re developing the entire team, not just a
certain few. I think that’s the key with the back-half of this season, when you get into late-
November, December and early-January. You’re going to have to play some of your younger
players to carry you through to where you want to be.”
(On defensive identity under Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen when handling practice and
players) “I think, one, there’s excitement around Ryan and what he’s brought to the defense and
how he’s going to utilize the players defensively. I think you’ll see, when you’re out there, the
excitement. It’s an attack style defense—guys are moving forward. I think it just suits the
players, right? I think the players have really bought into that. You’re going to see a lot of
teaching, a lot of coaching; not just by Ryan, but by his entire staff—both sides of the ball and
special teams. Today’s day one and it just goes from here.”
(On next step for CB Tyson Campbell) “I think with Tyson–just continue to grow. Young player,
again, like we said, having stability now—he’s going to be in one place for a while and just
continue to build off of his first few years. I do think that the things we’re doing defensively are
going to help him. I think the scheme is going to help him and the style that the secondary is
going to play, I think it suits him. Tyson is not a big guy, but he’s a physical guy and I think this is
going to help him take another step. Continue to work on his ball skills, and just have that
presence about him, that he’s one of the best corners in the league.”
(On changes to training camp going into year three) “No, I don’t like to change a whole lot.
There’s some schedule changes that I’ve made, but nothing on the practice field or anything like
that. It’s just abide by the guidelines that the league has put forth. So, nothing like that is going
to change. I just moved around some meeting times and walk-throughs and things like that, but
other than that no.”
(On the impact that OL Mitch Morse has on a young offensive line) “Well, it sends a message to
them, this is how a pro takes care of himself. How he takes care of himself physically, mentally;
how he approaches every single day, and just his leadership style—how he can bring along
young guys. This is going to be really good for [OL] Luke [Fortner] and to see just how Mitch
operates, and that’s what vets do. He’s a guy that’s willing to show others how to do it. I think
that’s important. I think Arik Armstead, when we get him on the field too—I think that’s another
one that could be great for Travon [DE Travon Walker]. Just to see what it takes—they’re very
similar positionally. They can both go inside, outside, then physically they’re both kind of the
same. So it would be great for both of those guys to lead, probably more by example.”
(On DC Ryan Nielsen’s defense and using Travon Walker in multiple spots) “Again, I think the
scheme is really going to help Travon, going to help Josh [DE Josh Hines-Allen], going to utilize
the strengths of both of those players. I think it’s the reason why we drafted Travon and the
reason why Josh is here and why we extended Josh. I mean, it’s their skill set get after
quarterbacks. The two of them together is a pretty good group in this league and I just think the
changes we’ve made, –they’re going to benefit form that.”
(On conversations about Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker putting on weight for the new
scheme) “I think it’s as they develop and their bodies over time develop. Theres a fine line
there. You don’t want too much weight—it slows them down. I guess the thing is you draft
those guys for a specific position on your team—offense, defense, special teams—whatever it
might be, and you try not to change that too much. We coach them up and coach technique,
and fundamentals and all that, but when it comes to heigh, weight, and speed, we need to use
their God-given ability and talent as a strength for us on defense.”
(On fans helping bring energy at practice) “Oh yes, certainly. The fans are great, love having
them out there. They’re starting to pile in now and it’s great for the players, obviously, brings a
little energy and excitement to training camp.”
(On concern level with Arik Armstead’s injury) “He’s played a ton of football—veteran player. I
don’t have a lot of concern with it. I want to make sure guys like that—we brought them here to
help us, but at the same time we’ve got make sure they’re healthy before we put them on the
field. He knows what it takes. I’ve seen him during OTAs, I’ve seen him even while he was here
during our little three days with the rookies and just how he’s kind of another coach right now
on the field until he gets ready to go. That’s invaluable—that’s gold out there on the field. I’m
not concerned right now, this early that he’s not out there. I just want to make sure that when
he’s out there he’s 100 percent.”
(On if players will be motivated by how last season ended) “I think it’s the same thing. I think
you’re going to hear it when you ask them. It’s motivation, its fuel. It was a disappointing end to
our season. How high it was for the first 11 games, it was just as low the last six. But again, it’s
all stuff we can learn from. How it motivates guys and how we can lean on these experiences—
coaches and players. With the addition of the new guys, hopefully that gets us through those
times.”
(On how important it was to sign players like QB Trevor Lawrence, DE Josh Hines-Allen and CB
Tyson Campbell) “Yeah, it is great. It’s a credit to Trent [General Manager Trent Baalke] and
working with agents and getting the players and getting these things done. I guess you can call it
a relief, it’s not hanging over us, and I don’t have to answer all the questions, and this will
probably be the last time I get to answer questions about contracts. It’s great for all of us. That
frees them up now to just go play.”
(On if it was the plan to sign those players this offseason) “Each year you look at who’s going to
be free, who’s going to be on your roster—who are the guys. And whether their contracts are
up—you know Trevor still had a couple years all that, but if you can lock those guys down and
get them extended, you try to do it. Regardless of what’s going on, how much money you got—
you just find a way. With all three of them, obviously it took some time, but at the same time it
was three guys that we focused on and we wanted to make sure that guys that were drafted
here, stay here. I think in the past that hasn’t been the case. You let good players out the door
and you can’t do that anymore. It’s a credit to Trent—working with these agents and these
players to get these done.”
(On if Offensive Coordinator Press Taylor will call plays) “He’ll do it today in practice. We’re still
in discussions with all of that. We’re not ready to make a public decision just yet.”
(On how much starters will play in the preseason) “I have, other than the Tampa Bay game,
because when Tampa comes here we get a lot of great work done with the starters, so I usually
hold them out of that game. But for one and three, Kansas City and Atlanta, definitely play the
starters. It’s selective. I would say in the past not all of the starters would play. But, yeah, I like
playing them. They need to play, they need to have that sense of urgency, they need to feel
game readiness, so yeah, I’ll play them.
(On if he has any alpha dogs on the roster) “I know this: our linebacker Foye Oluokun—when
he’s led the league in tackles and he’s been one of the top tackling linebackers in the league. I
mean, he’s somebody who you would maybe put in that boat. I just think the game has changed
a little bit. But, you look at guys like that. I’ll tell you this: Darnell Savage—pound-for-pound—I
would put him in that group too.”
(On if he takes into account what Owner Shad Khan thinks about who should call plays) “Yes.”
QUARTERBACK TREVOR LAWRENCE

WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2024
(On how excited he is to be a girl dad) “Really excited. Obviously, first kid, so that’s exciting, and then
having a girl, it’s new territory. So, we’re really excited. Due in January, so it’s the last training camp
without a baby. I’m going to enjoy the more calmness that there is now I’m sure than what it will be like
next year. But we’re really pumped and excited for our first kid.”
(On the timing of becoming a new dad at the start of playoffs) “We’ll make it work. Not everything
always goes according to plan.”
(On why he was limping walking to the podium) “I’m just tight. We sat down to sign autographs, and I
need to go get stretched out.”
(On Jaguars Owner Shad Khan committing to he and his teammates with new contracts) “Yeah, it shows
the belief that he has in us. Obviously, that feels really good as players to have that from the owner and
the organization. He talked to us as a team the other night, and I obviously won’t go into everything he
said, but the expectations are high, and they should be around here. Especially when he’s putting his
money, time, all these things behind it, backing it, and putting a lot into it. He has high expectations for
us, we have expectations for ourselves and we expect to win. The time is now. We’ve been lingering
around a little bit the past couple of years, but this is our opportunity, and we need to take advantage of
it.”
(On if this year feels different being his third season with Head Coach Doug Pederson) “I think you feel
more comfortable every year. Just the schedule, understanding what training camp is like, the offseason
program, having the same system now for the third year, that feels good. Some guys are in different
systems every year and that’s tough. My first two years, obviously, there was a change. So, it feels good
being able to carry things over. And also in the offseason you can work on little things, go more in-depth,
dive into some things that maybe you don’t do well personally or in the offense that we’re going to
change, whether it’s Press [Offensive Coordinator Press Taylor] coming to me about certain things or
whatever, you can work on some of those things you want to change moving forward instead of trying to
learn a new system. That can be tough and obviously set you back a little bit. So, that feels good to be in
the same offense for the third year. Then just kind of understanding how it goes being a veteran now,
being around for a little bit. Obviously, you’re more comfortable, but training camp’s still training camp.
It’s still a grind. You’ve got to make the most out of it, you’ve got to make the days count because it flies
by, and you’ve got to get ready for the season.”
(On if he likes the team being in prove-it mode again) “Yeah, I mean, it’s two-fold because that means
you probably didn’t do as much as you wanted to do the year before, but I think it’s always fun being on
this side of it where you want to prove everybody wrong and you have a lot of people doubting you.
Maybe there’s not as many expectations from the outside, I mean, it doesn’t really matter. At the end of
the day, you’ve still got to go perform. It matters really what goes on in this building, what we do out
here getting ready for the season and really the attitude and mindset that we have moving forward.
That’s really what matters, but I will say, it is fun kind of being the overlooked team. You do kind of enjoy
that and want to prove people wrong. Hopefully moving forward there are a lot of people saying that
we’re good or we’re great or whatever, saying good things, and there will be another challenge of
ignoring that because that means we had a good year, and we did what we were supposed to do.
Obviously, that’s not where we’re at coming into this season but it doesn’t really matter. It’s just a
different set of challenges. Yeah, I think it is nice kind of getting overlooked a little bit.”
(On how much WR Christian Kirk has meant to him as a teammate and friend) “Yeah, we’re really close.
Really good friend with him and Ozzy [Ozzy Kirk] and my wife Marissa [Marissa Lawrence]. We’re all
really tight. I think having him, the player he is and the position he plays, the communication between a
slot receiver like him and myself, the quarterback, that’s important on the field and that chemistry you
see out there. But I think it also ties into our relationship off the field and that’s helped us be better on
the field. Just being able to trust him. He’s a pro, he does everything the right way ever since he’s been
here, so I’ve always respected that. We’ve hit it off personally, off the field, and become really good
friends, too, so that always makes it easier. There are more important things in life than football. Your
family, your faith, whatever those things are to each individual, but this is our life for seven months out
of the year, however long it ends up being. You want to be around people that you enjoy being around,
that are your friends and build those relationships outside of here or it’s not as fun. So, you want to feel
like you have friends in the building, have guys that you have great relationships with and that’s what I’m
thankful for on our team. Everyone is pretty tight. I think that’s important for your team moving forward
and it’s something that we’ve really stressed this offseason, building those relationships, because it
matters coming into the season. When situations get tough, you want to be able to count on the guy
next to you and really know him not just as a player but as a person.”
(On how long it took to feel 100 percent after the season) “It was probably getting close to March. That’s
kind of what I would say. March, I felt pretty good, started training hard again. I did some stuff before
that, but it was really just trying to get healthy and not push too hard early so I could get my body back.
But yeah, just a couple things lingering and then you obviously nurse those the back half of the season
and never have a chance to heal. So, it takes some time to work through it.”
(On if it was scary having to rehab for the first time) “Yeah, I wouldn’t say as much scary as it was just
frustrating. It was frustrating not feeling like you’re healthy every week. That’s something—obviously in
football, you’re going to deal with things every week that bother you and that nag you a little bit, but not
to the extent that some of the stuff I was dealing with isn’t what I’m used to. It can be frustrating going
out there and not being able to practice full speed and not being able to get some of the reps that you
want to get, then going into the game and feeling like you’re a little bit limited. But that’s this business
and you’ve got to kind of play the hand you’re dealt. So, that was a big emphasis this offseason, keeping
my strength up and getting in great shape to where I can stay healthier. You can’t control everything, it’s
a physical game, but you can control some of the hits you take, getting out of bounds, getting down,
getting rid of the ball. Some of those things to try and stay healthy so I can play my best down the
stretch. That’s a big point of emphasis for me this year.”
(On what it’s like having the fans out at practice) “It’s great having them, especially in camp when these
days get long and a week or two in, it’s nice having some fans out there to add a little bit of juice.
Because when you’re out there, there are some practices that are closed to the fans, and it feels so much
more dead out there than when they’re here. So, it brings some juice to the players, and we really
appreciate it. It adds a little bit of extra motivation for us, and we enjoy getting to play in front of people.
That’s part of what we love about the game. Without them, we wouldn’t have a game, so we appreciate
them and it’s always good having them come out. I’ve got to give it them, coming out at whatever time
in the morning and it’s already 90 degrees, as a fan, that’s some commitment so I appreciate them
coming out.”
(On WR Christian Kirk’s spirit after coming down with an injury) “Yeah, I mean, I think obviously it’s hard
dealing with injuries, especially when you’re a player like Christian who’s such a big contributor to the
team. But it’s football, and you understand that things happen that you can’t control. An injury like his is
pretty serious, so, obviously you want him out there because he helps our team, but there’s really
nothing you can do. I just tried to keep him up. I think everyone did a good job of just encouraging him
and checking in on him, and he did a good job handling his rehab. He tried his hardest to come back and
it just didn’t work out. Obviously, we didn’t make the playoffs, so who knows what would have happened
if would have won that game in Tennessee? But I know he was trying his hardest to come back which
was crazy to even see that with that kind of injury. He was kind of considering trying to push to come
back. He didn’t have to do that. That’s a guy that’s made a lot of money that’s proven himself in this
league, who’s been a great player for us, and honestly, probably shouldn’t have come back last season
after that injury. Him trying to come back to help the team, I think that says enough about who he is.
He’s a guy that—obviously, everybody needs some encouragement, but he takes care of his business. I
think he has a really good head on his shoulders and had a good perspective. But, yeah, it’s never easy
being hurt and just having to watch, especially when he got hurt, how much we struggled. It seemed like
we couldn’t find our groove. I know that was tough for him and he wished he could be out there. But at
the end of the day, we’ve got to pick him up, we’ve got to have people step in, we’ve got to play better. A
lot of things went wrong down the stretch that weren’t just to do with him. All of us have to pick up
that.”
(On early impressions of Defensive Coordinator Ryan Nielsen’s defense) “I don’t want to give too much
away, but very physical. The intensity is super high over there, a lot of energy. The defensive staff have
been great. Really detailed—the guys are harping over the details all the time. But I’d say the physicality
is definitely the biggest difference. At the line, on the outside, wherever. Really everywhere I think that’s
been a point of emphasis and you can see it. Every throw seems to be contested; it seems to be a little
bit of traffic, which is if you’re a quarterback not good, but it’s good to see your defense doing that. It
challenges us and it’s going to present some challenges this training camp that are going to make us
better as an offense, too.”
(On training camp plans and how much he’ll play in the preseason) “We haven’t discussed games yet. I’m
under the impression that’s probably going to stay as it has in the past until I talk with them. I haven’t
talked with them yet about that. Usually, we wait until we get a little further in camp. So, we’ll see. I
don’t have an answer for that right now. For practice, I plan on taking all the reps with the first groups,
then mixing in some other guys with me as well. Talking about Christian last year, an example of that is
him going down and having Parker [wide receiver Parker Washington] or whoever step up. Parker was
coming off injury coming into his rookie year, so he didn’t get the spring and missed a little bit of training
camp with us, and then came back, and then he got hurt in the season right away too on a punt return.
So, he was asked to step in at the end of the year and really take all the reps as a starting slot receiver
from then on and he did a great job adjusting, but it did feel like we were having to play catch-up
because maybe we didn’t prepare enough on the front end. Someone is going to go down at some point.
You don’t want that to happen, but if that does happen, you’ve got to be ready. Mixing in guys where I
get reps with six, seven, eight different receivers that could possibly be in there if something were to
happen or just roll in there. You’ve got to keep guys fresh. I think that’s an emphasis too, getting reps
with those guys, not just the starting group, but the guys that could roll in there, because you never
know when you’re going to lean on those guys. They have to make plays and you’ve got to have
chemistry, so that’s a big point of emphasis. As far as reps in practice, I plan on being the same. They
mentioned they might roll C.J. [QB C.J. Beathard] and Mac [QB Mac Jones] in there a little bit with the
ones to get them some reps and chemistry with those guys, just in case, stuff like that, which is perfectly
fine. Myself and the coaches will kind of figure that out and move forward with that.”
(On a potential 18-game regular-season schedule) “Yeah, that’s a good question. It’s a lot of games, so I
think there has to be some give. That’s a lot of games on the players, and it’s already—17’s a lot, when
we went from 16 to 17. Maybe if there are two bye weeks. I don’t really know what the conversations
are there. I haven’t been involved with those, so I don’t know. I don’t have an answer for it, but I think
you have to add some type of extra break if you’re going to add an extra game, because that’s a lot.
You’re not even talking about playoffs and preseason on top of that. How that all adjusts, I don’t know,
but I think if you do that you’ve got to give something up to give the guys a little bit of a break for their
bodies.”
(On offseason training with 49ers QB Brock Purdy and local high school kids) “Yeah, that was last week. It
was recently. Yeah, went out there to see Brock [49ers QB Brock Purdy] and I know some of the other
guys around the league were out there, too. [Saints QB] Nathan Peterman was out there, and we had a
group of high school guys catching. It’s cool when all those different worlds collide. I remember when I
was in high school, if I had the opportunity to be out there with guys that played in the NFL, I would have
loved that and the guys that were catching for us really enjoyed it and were asking us some questions
and just enjoyed being out there and getting that opportunity. For us, it was great to have guys to catch.
Sometimes in the offseason, everyone’s spread out. The guys on the team usually are in a lot of different
places and traveling and enjoying the break and just trying to get some family time in, so it’s nice to have
some bodies and some hands to catch. I’ve always really liked Brock. I’ve known him for a couple of years
now, and the way he carries himself, I’ve always had a lot of respect for that. It’s always fun getting
together with him, but yeah, it’s good.
(On his goals to limit turnovers) “Zero would be great. If you look at my career, my rookie year, making
decisions throwing the ball probably wasn’t great. I think I’ve made a big improvement on that,
interceptions. Obviously, we throw the ball a lot, you’re going to have interceptions, stuff’s going to
happen, but I think for the most part in the last two years, decisions have been good. Obviously, you’re
going to have a few every once in a while that aren’t great decisions. Playing quarterback, throwing the
ball a lot, that’s going to happen, but it’s more of what I’ve talked about in the past. It’s just ball security
in the pocket and in space running and not putting the ball on the ground. That’s something that I
control that’s easier to control, honestly, I think than sometimes the passing game. That’s really what I’ve
got to fix. So, I put a big emphasis on that of just securing the ball in the pocket when I’m moving
around, when I’m scrambling. That’s obviously something I’ve got to fix, and you’ve got to limit
turnovers. That’s the number one key in games to winning or losing, how many times you turn the ball
over, how many turnovers do you get as a defense and obviously as an offense. We control when we give
the ball away, so you’ve got to be able to limit that.”
(On how to prevent fumbling) “Just being smart. In some situations, knowing when to take a sack. A lot
of them are coming from when you’re getting tackled and you’re trying to escape and the ball gets loose
or whatever, and then it gets hit from somebody else. That’s one instance. If you’re getting sacked,
sometimes you’ve got to just take it and go down. In space, tucking it, not getting wide, taking certain
hits. And then in the pocket, yeah, it’s two hands, it’s tight to the body, when you feel the pocket
collapsing, it’s being able to tuck it. All those things, and that’s stuff you just drill and work. Sometimes
it’s hard because you don’t simulate it. You don’t get hit in practice, btu you’ve got to find ways to drill it
whether it’s with pads with coaches with the little puncher things, whatever you want to call them. Stuff
like that, that stuff does work, builds muscle memory, but you‘ve just got to keep doing it.”
CORNERBACK TYSON CAMPBELL
MEDIA AVAILABILITY
WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2024
(On how he was feeling the last couple of days after signing the contract) “I was telling people all the
time I just knew God was going to blow my mind. He did; I was speechless. Today I’m doing better since
I’m playing football now. So, back to reality. I’m just so grateful for God to give me the opportunity to
have a deal like this and grateful enough to have an organization like the Jags to trust and believe in me.
I’m going to do my best to prove that I’m one of the leaders on this defense and this team and bring a
Super Bowl to Jacksonville.”
(On what it means to have that financial security for himself and his family) “It’s a blessing, but at the
same time, I’m doing all this to give the glory back to God and be the best at my position. So, the work
doesn’t stop. I’m still hungry, still eager and still trying to be a leader for the young guys to be able to be
in a position like this.”
(On if he thinks he needs to up his game more) “That’s an every-year mindset to get better. Even every
day, to find something to get better at to master your skills. I feel like I’ve always had work ethic so
getting better, trying to be better and having ambition is not new to me.”
(On if he feels any more pressure) “No. I’m my biggest critic so I’m not worried about what anybody has
to say about me or feel about me. I’m me. Nobody can get me into Hell or let me into Heaven except
God. So, I’m focusing on this team and trying to be in a position to help this team win.”
(On DE Josh Allen, QB Trevor Lawrence and LB Foye Oluokun all getting contracts this offseason and
being the core of the team) “Yeah, yesterday and throughout this whole camp we are trying to build a
standard around here: to be an organization that plays in late January and February. We are setting a
standard and building a winning culture around here.”
(On how vital it is for the defensive backs to gel during training camp) “It’s very vital. Camp is tough, so
you have to lean on your teammates because that’s who’s in it with you. So, if you lean on people you
love, trust and grind with every day, then that leads to success in the season. That’s very pivotal.”
(On what he’s seen out of CB Jarrian Jones) “I’ve just seen growth, him growing up and getting
comfortable in this scheme and this speed of play. I told him I’m going to hold him to a standard and he’s
going to do the same for me. That’s for all the guys. You’ve been blessed enough to play in this league
and people are put here to help you and help you grow so you can be able to stay in this league and be
able to take care of your family one day.”
(On if getting this new deal felt like a relief) “Personally when I woke up, I was like, ‘It’s camp, let’s get it,
man. Let’s have a healthy camp, let’s dominate and let’s get back to being myself.’ That was the mindset I
really woke up with, man, and like I said, I’m just so grateful and blessed. I’m just trying to win. I swear
that’s what I’m trying to do. I’m trying to win.”
(On if his team wanted to get his deal done before camp) “Yeah, we were negotiating for a while but like
I said, I just left it to God. If I had to play out my deal, I had no problem with that. I was going to do my
job regardless.”
(On when he has to buy dinner for the DBs) “I don’t know. We’ve got a rookie dinner for sure, so I’m
definitely not pulling out the card at that dinner.”
(On how long last season lingered for him) “I’d say probably once OTAs start that gives you an idea, like,
‘Okay, it’s time to transition to the new season.’ At the same time, you don’t forget, but you do move on
and grow from it. You learn. You learn from what last season taught you and you just use it as fuel for the
next season. That’s what we’re doing, we know we don’t want to get back to that place, so we’re honing
in on the little things. I know yesterday Coach Richard [defensive backs coach Kris Richard] said,
‘Champions do the ordinary things consistently.’ So, if we can do that and do that each and every day, I
feel like we’ll be where we want to be.”
