1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,679 Speaker 1: We're with Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor 2 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 1: ahead of preseason week three. Boy, it's coming to it 3 00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:08,479 Speaker 1: ahead quickly. 4 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:08,719 Speaker 2: Here. 5 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:12,200 Speaker 1: The regular season is coming fast. Fred, here we are. 6 00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: How are you, man? 7 00:00:13,840 --> 00:00:15,040 Speaker 3: I'm good. I love it. 8 00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,120 Speaker 4: I think I tweeted the other day it was sixteen 9 00:00:18,239 --> 00:00:23,279 Speaker 4: days until the kickoff first game, you know, And I 10 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:26,400 Speaker 4: asked everybody who they got this year, and don't do 11 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 4: the bayas. Oh I love my home team. I got 12 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 4: a root for my home team because I'm sure the 13 00:00:31,040 --> 00:00:34,519 Speaker 4: Cowboys fans somewhere ready to hang themselves. They got to 14 00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:36,599 Speaker 4: be sick and tired of that. Even maybe some of 15 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 4: our fans jp like it's part of the game. You know, 16 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:43,720 Speaker 4: we want it now as football fanatics, much like this season, 17 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,680 Speaker 4: we want it now. I hope I wish the season 18 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 4: had already started, and so many instances sometimes it feels 19 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,640 Speaker 4: that way, but it's here, you know. 20 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:55,800 Speaker 3: It's preseason is about the rap. 21 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,720 Speaker 4: We get one more shot to see the guys and 22 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 4: then we're off the cuts and we'll get final, final rosters. 23 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,600 Speaker 4: We'll be able to do our fantasy football thing. You're 24 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 4: hopping in with Mike this year. 25 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: What's going on I'm not gonna be in with Mike. 26 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,280 Speaker 1: We've got an internal one. Of course we can't do 27 00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:14,000 Speaker 1: it for money, that's against the rights, but just for fun. 28 00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 1: I haven't been in one in years, so right, I'll 29 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: need your advice. 30 00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:22,039 Speaker 4: I think. How about an invite? Yeah, yeah, I don't 31 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 4: like me. What's going on? I couldn't get an invite 32 00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 4: to your your league. 33 00:01:26,280 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 2: I'm not in charge, man, I just work here, you know. 34 00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 3: I don't know. 35 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,080 Speaker 4: Okay, I'm internal, or maybe I'm just a contractor. 36 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 3: I don't know. 37 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,080 Speaker 2: But your name's on the wall, Brad. We could probably 38 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 2: get you in if you wanted to play. 39 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, but uh yeah, no, preseason is gonna wrap man, 40 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:44,680 Speaker 4: and all those things I just mentioned, uh you know, uh, 41 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 4: final cuts, you know, sorting out the roster and and 42 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: really saying who we're gonna you know, go to battle 43 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,480 Speaker 4: with for the duration of the season. Of course, they'll 44 00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,800 Speaker 4: make some moves, as you know. They made a trade 45 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 4: there after the last preseason game, so they'll make moves 46 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 4: as we go. But you know, they've been doing well 47 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 4: so far. 48 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 2: Fred Taylor with us. 49 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,840 Speaker 1: This team seemed to bounce back last week, you know, 50 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: going into the Saints game. They had the lineman assignment 51 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: practice where they literally just get to the line, snap 52 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,480 Speaker 1: the ball and stop and do it again. I mean, 53 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,800 Speaker 1: and then they have a scrimmage that outside of the 54 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: first drive, the offense didn't play well at all. 55 00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of adversity. 56 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: It felt like last week and just still but you 57 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: know what, they come in the game and the starters executed. 58 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:35,840 Speaker 1: So that means it went from the practice field to 59 00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the game. Now they are playing backup to the Saints. 60 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,440 Speaker 1: Take that out. The response has to be a good 61 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 1: sign for Liam Cohen. 62 00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: You still got to play regardless who's out there back up. 63 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,639 Speaker 4: Even on air, guys dropped ball against air. So if 64 00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,440 Speaker 4: you have second team, third team, it does not matter. 65 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 4: You want to go out there and be efficient. You know, 66 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:59,000 Speaker 4: going back to the alignment assignment. You know, we talked 67 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: about that last week and you're bringing up today. I 68 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 4: think it paid off. You know, for me, it's about 69 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: quality reps. Whether they're you know, against air, whether it's 70 00:03:10,919 --> 00:03:14,680 Speaker 4: physical against you know, your teammates, or even they're just visual. 71 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 4: You want to be able to get make that repue 72 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,520 Speaker 4: as efficient as you can. And one of my coaches 73 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,160 Speaker 4: used to coach Kennedy Pohler, who always coach, says, I 74 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 4: told I took notes my entire career. You will see 75 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 4: some guys come in the room and not take take 76 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 4: a single note. They try to remember it up here, 77 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 4: he said, if you write it, you remember it because 78 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 4: your brain is something in your brain that can always 79 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 4: go back to that little piece of paper. It can 80 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,880 Speaker 4: even see you performing the act of writing the note. 81 00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,040 Speaker 4: You can know exactly where at on that paper. If 82 00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:50,480 Speaker 4: you had to go back now, you can know exactly 83 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 4: where you put it. Your key points. Just like taking 84 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 4: quizzes or tests or what have you. Football is no different. 85 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 4: You want to be aby capture that note taking then 86 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,640 Speaker 4: have a visual you know note, so you have something 87 00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 4: to go back on. And I think the guys all 88 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 4: did well because they came out and they executed with 89 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 4: position precision. 90 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:12,480 Speaker 3: Trevor should have been nine to ten. 91 00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,000 Speaker 4: BT dropped the ball earlier in the game a nice 92 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,040 Speaker 4: crossing route. Trevor was able to come back next play 93 00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:23,720 Speaker 4: third down and they were able to continue that momentum 94 00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,599 Speaker 4: and go down and sustain the drive. So they played 95 00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,960 Speaker 4: well last week offensively, I thought. Defensively, they got after 96 00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,239 Speaker 4: the Saints up front right. There had some good pressure 97 00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 4: winger where the safety blitze off the edge, you know, 98 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 4: he did well, and gathering a quarterback there for a sack. 99 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 4: So I think as a unit they played pretty good. 100 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 4: Certainly a big improvement from week one, where we saw 101 00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 4: them jump off in a false start the very first 102 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:59,240 Speaker 4: player of the game, we saw a you know, twelve 103 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,680 Speaker 4: men in a huddle on a field goal to the tenth. 104 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 4: This week versus the Saints being tied first quarter, we 105 00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 4: didn't see a single penals. So even that in itself 106 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,719 Speaker 4: something that's not gonna well, it is gonna show on 107 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: a stat book, but when you commit the crime, but 108 00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 4: when you don't, they don't show on the stat sheet. 109 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 4: But this was a huge improvement and I'm sure the 110 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,720 Speaker 4: coaches were happy. Day I had an opportunity to see it. 111 00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us so coming up this week, the 112 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:32,000 Speaker 1: Jaguars have a joint practice. It was Thursday down in 113 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,080 Speaker 1: Davy against the Dolphins. Really kind of the last chance 114 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,719 Speaker 1: to get a look at the starters against another team 115 00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,240 Speaker 1: because it just feels like a lot of these guys 116 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 1: are going to rest on Saturday night, and you know, 117 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:46,799 Speaker 1: it's really coming down to only the final few roster spots. 118 00:05:46,800 --> 00:05:49,000 Speaker 1: So this has got to be a different feel for 119 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,159 Speaker 1: guys who've been fighting on camp, trying to find a 120 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:53,919 Speaker 1: way up the depth chart. This might be their last 121 00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,280 Speaker 1: opportunity to put something on tape. As we always say, 122 00:05:57,320 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 1: not only for the Jags, but there's thirty one other 123 00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:00,680 Speaker 1: two as well. 124 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, I totally agree, and I've always agreed with the 125 00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,800 Speaker 4: notion that it's thirty one other teams and you want 126 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 4: to just try and put your best foot forward. I 127 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 4: posted some on my Instagram the other day. I said, 128 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:16,120 Speaker 4: you know, you got to put the work in. You know, 129 00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 4: God God will handle the results. That's his business. The 130 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 4: results are God's business, and guys have to have that mindset. 131 00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 4: You know, as long as I work hard, I've studied hard. 132 00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 4: You know, I gave myself a great opportunity. Then how 133 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: do you tips lay or how do they fall? You 134 00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 4: have to deal with it, and if it's not in Jacksonville, 135 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,960 Speaker 4: then it's not in Jacksonville. But you know, based on 136 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:46,160 Speaker 4: this week's practice, as you just mentioned, I don't believe 137 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 4: the starters are going to get many reps. But you know, 138 00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 4: again going back to the very first week when we 139 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 4: talk pregame we talked inside the stadium. My entire focus, 140 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,359 Speaker 4: especially with the guys that you know are going to 141 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 4: go into the seat, let's get them out of preseason healthy. 142 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,200 Speaker 4: You want to be able to hit the ground run 143 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 4: in these first couple of weeks healthy, so you can 144 00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 4: start to create momentum and hopefully that momentum can carry 145 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 4: you into some good looks. Some teams you never see injured, 146 00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,680 Speaker 4: you know or never see the many injuries. This team 147 00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 4: a year ago was decimated by injuries, just a lot 148 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,600 Speaker 4: of inconsistencies, guys. 149 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 3: In the lineup. One we got of the lineup. 150 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:29,080 Speaker 4: So my entire main goal, I'm sure the coaches are too, 151 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,400 Speaker 4: is to get the guys. After they excuse me, my 152 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 4: main goal is to well. The coach's main goal is 153 00:07:36,760 --> 00:07:39,400 Speaker 4: to once they sought the roster, it's just to make 154 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,320 Speaker 4: sure guys are healthy and ready to go. 155 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,400 Speaker 3: So again it's a good preseason for him. 156 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 4: Hopefully they can finish out strong and get the cuts 157 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 4: done and see what our roster looks like. Man, be 158 00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 4: ready for your twenty twenty five twenty twenty six Jaguars football. 159 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: Final thought with it here, Fred, you mentioned the trade 160 00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 1: earlier Luke Fortner goes to the Saints. Colin Saunders, defensive tackle, 161 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: comes back from the Saints. After the game, he said 162 00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,560 Speaker 1: he was at home playing Fortnite when he got the 163 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,960 Speaker 1: phone call after the. 164 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:14,280 Speaker 2: Game, where are we trading? 165 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:14,760 Speaker 3: Oh? 166 00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: We just played these guys tonight. It's funny how the 167 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,239 Speaker 1: league works sometimes, right. 168 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:21,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, but that's the beauty of it. 169 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,920 Speaker 4: Man.
