Seventeen sixty 7 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 1: one yards and I think right now you've got to 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,760 Speaker 1: make sure you cover the Titans tight end burned out 9 00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:39,160 Speaker 1: in five and chain.

I know one thing's for sure, John, 27 00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:03,279 Speaker 1: And just getting around the city this week and talking 28 00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: to various people, they're bringing it to the stadium that 29 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 1: the fans enjoyed the moment and and the theater that 30 00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: was t i A bank Field as much as the 31 00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,720 Speaker 1: players and coaches did, and they're trying to recapture it 32 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: on Saturday night. Look, it's it's uh yeah, as you know, Brian, 33 00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 1: there's been this myth nationally, the whole thing. We've talked 34 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:29,679 Speaker 1: about it ad nauseam about Jaguars fans. Don't do this, 35 00:02:29,720 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: don't do this, don't this. It seems been horrible for 36 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,519 Speaker 1: a decade except for two thousand seventeen. Let's say what 37 00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,639 Speaker 1: it is. So I had ray Sean Jenkins on on 38 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:42,239 Speaker 1: on the ozone podcast and he said it best. You know, 39 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: he felt like the crowd the other night. He said, 40 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:52,519 Speaker 1: it felt like a winning organization, and uh, a winning organization. 41 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: They'll go out and support and you have the the 42 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,239 Speaker 1: added of the newness of the of the pressure of 43 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,239 Speaker 1: losing for ten years, and all of a sudden, that 44 00:03:04,280 --> 00:03:09,080 Speaker 1: pressure turn the valve, the pressure releases, and you had 45 00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: an unbelievable night. So you've got if they had won 46 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 1: three years in a row and now we're coming back 47 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: to make the playoffs. Right now, I don't think you 48 00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 1: have quite the energy, but I think you're gonna have energy. 49 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 1: As long as this team is good. This fan base 50 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:26,760 Speaker 1: is going to turn out. It is a passionate, lunatic, 51 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,440 Speaker 1: nuts off the charts, savage fan base, and they're gonna 52 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,560 Speaker 1: show up like that. And on Saturday night you bring 53 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: in a Chargers team that is so similar to this 54 00:03:36,280 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: one with a young quarterback. That's why it's in prime time. 55 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: This is probably the sexiest game of the weekend. So 56 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,400 Speaker 1: let's get right to it with big things here on 57 00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: a Thursday morning. A big thing one is got one. 58 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: We're talking about the lack of playoff experience. If you 59 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:52,960 Speaker 1: look at the Jaguars, they have the fewest number of 60 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 1: starters with playoff experience. Of all the teams that are 61 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,000 Speaker 1: engaged in this year's playoff tournament. But Treport Lawrence point 62 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,120 Speaker 1: it out something very important when he met with the 63 00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,680 Speaker 1: media earlier this week. I hope it's it's like that 64 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: this weekend, and that's kind of you know what we expect. 65 00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: Our fans did a great job last weekend. But for us, 66 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,760 Speaker 1: I mean that was that was a playoff game last week. 67 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 1: I mean, you look at how everything ended up playing 68 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: out if we don't win. If we didn't win that game, 69 00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: we're not sitting here today. You know, everybody's packing up 70 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: going home. So I mean that was a playoff game 71 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 1: for us. So it's the same mindset this week. It's 72 00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:27,720 Speaker 1: just official now it's the first round of playoffs. But 73 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:28,720 Speaker 1: I mean for us, that was kind of like the 74 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,320 Speaker 1: first round of playoffs because we knew we had to 75 00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: win to get in. So um, I mean, I think 76 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,720 Speaker 1: that helps us kind of prepare for this week and 77 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: the sense of urgency and you know, the whatever you 78 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,600 Speaker 1: want to call it, the hype around the game all that, 79 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: especially now that there's only there's less than half the 80 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,840 Speaker 1: team's playing this weekend because the field just got whittled down. 81 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: Big thing too, whatever it takes. You can also call 82 00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: this your best defense, maybe your offense on Saturday night. 83 00:04:55,680 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: In other words, you know that you've got to score 84 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: points because the Chargers can put up some point, So 85 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,960 Speaker 1: get it done. Offensive coordinator Press Taylor said they take 86 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,120 Speaker 1: a holistic approach. They look at the entirety of what 87 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: has to happen for the team to win as they 88 00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: put their offensive game plan together. I think you go 89 00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:17,600 Speaker 1: into every game kind of with a general plan of 90 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,559 Speaker 1: what we think it takes to win, whether that's across 91 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: the board, offense, defense, special teams. You know, maybe we 92 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: need to be more aggressive in these situations because they 93 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: average x amount of points and you know, ideally it's 94 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: a shutout and we kick field going win the game. 95 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:30,840 Speaker 1: We're great with that. Whatever it takes for us to 96 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,760 Speaker 1: play next week, we're happy with at the end of 97 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,600 Speaker 1: the day. Um, but there's certainly times where it kind 98 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 1: of sets your strategy, your game plan, strategy going through 99 00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000 Speaker 1: the week. We have those conversations Monday Tuesday, and then 100 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 1: they're ongoing through the week of what we think it's 101 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,880 Speaker 1: going to take to win and how we need to 102 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: play the game. Whether that's decision making within it, but 103 00:05:47,720 --> 00:05:49,280 Speaker 1: at the same time, we're ready to adjust at any 104 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: moment in the game depending on how it's going. And 105 00:05:52,040 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: we wrap up big things for this weekend this show 106 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: with Crazy. It's crazy when you think about the Chargers offense. 107 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,200 Speaker 1: They've got big play receivers in Mike Williams Keenan Allen 108 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,159 Speaker 1: is as tough a guy to cover because his routes 109 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:07,600 Speaker 1: are so precise as there is in football, and with 110 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert pushing the ball down the field, you'd expect 111 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: those two guys to be at the top of the charts, 112 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,640 Speaker 1: but they're not. It's the running back Austin Ekeler with 113 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,200 Speaker 1: more than a hundred receptions, and he's a guy that 114 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 1: makes it very interesting for defensive coordinators to get their 115 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,200 Speaker 1: game plan put together. When you have a running back 116 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 1: that UH have over a hundred catches that that says 117 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:31,839 Speaker 1: something about him and he's a guy that they trust 118 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: and they get the ball to a bunch. But I 119 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,200 Speaker 1: think it works well with him because outside you have 120 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: to pay so much attention and then that opens up 121 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:42,800 Speaker 1: for him and the tight ends underneath. But the coordinator 122 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:44,120 Speaker 1: used to go out there and you just try to 123 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: understand where the matchups are and how they try to 124 00:06:47,640 --> 00:06:49,720 Speaker 1: attack you and try to you know, hone in on 125 00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: that and give a guy with a good plan. So 126 00:06:52,440 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 1: you want to talk about matchups, John, how the Jaguars 127 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,880 Speaker 1: cover Austin Ekeler is one of the big stories of 128 00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: this game, and how the Chargers try to get mismatches 129 00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:08,039 Speaker 1: on linebackers are supposed to safeties. Yeah, and I don't 130 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,920 Speaker 1: know that there's a great answer for the Jaguars there. 131 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: I would think that Devin Lloyd becomes involved a little 132 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:20,119 Speaker 1: bit because of athleticism. Uh. I think. I think as 133 00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:21,920 Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks, who said this on the show this week, 134 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,480 Speaker 1: makes some sense. Um haven't been a great screen pass 135 00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 1: covering team the Jaguars, but struggle with it last week. 136 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: But in the past, when you've played teams that hit 137 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:35,960 Speaker 1: you with the screen, it's been more of a sneak 138 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 1: attack type thing. This team, you know, going in the 139 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,960 Speaker 1: deck was a primary target, so you're paying more attention 140 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,320 Speaker 1: to it. You almost, like you said, you almost concede 141 00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: screens when you're playing teams that don't do them that 142 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: often because you've got to focus on something You're gonna 143 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 1: focus on. The screen gets the charge you're gonna focus 144 00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: on the screens. I think I do a better job 145 00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,120 Speaker 1: with it. I uh yeah. I'm not saying this to 146 00:08:01,160 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: be a defeatist, but I think the reality is you're 147 00:08:04,280 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 1: not gonna have every answer for this Charger's offense. You're 148 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,720 Speaker 1: gonna hope to get to play to the strength of 149 00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:13,560 Speaker 1: this defense. If you get a turn over a half 150 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: and you allow If you allow the Chargers twenty eight, 151 00:08:18,320 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 1: but you get a turn over a half, the offense 152 00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 1: needs to win that game. Follow me. If you can't 153 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 1: get any turnovers with twenty eight, then I think it's tough. 154 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: If the defense creates takeaways. I'm not talking into half takeaway, 155 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:36,360 Speaker 1: but a a game momentum takeaway in each half, then 156 00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars offense will come off that no 157 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,600 Speaker 1: matter what the defense gives up. I think Jaguars offense 158 00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,360 Speaker 1: come out of the game saying, uh, then we lose. 159 00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: We should have gotten that one. That's enough to win. 160 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:51,240 Speaker 1: The Jaguars defense, for all the numbers are ranked statistically, 161 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:53,679 Speaker 1: but they're only given up twenty point six points per game, 162 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 1: which is not so bad for a defense that's given 163 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 1: up big chunks of yardage and and struggled to get 164 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,439 Speaker 1: teams off the field on third down at various times 165 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,360 Speaker 1: this season. But when you really evaluate the Jaguars defense, right, 166 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,679 Speaker 1: we talked Ben, but don't break takeaways the number, and 167 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: we mentioned that that's increase from a year ago. But 168 00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 1: eleven over this five game winning stream and three defensive touchdowns, 169 00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,959 Speaker 1: they really have lifted their game. Again. They're gonna give 170 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: up chunks of yards because that's what these good offenses 171 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: in pro football do, but if they can just get 172 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,400 Speaker 1: that ball away. Yeah, and I wrote the number, and 173 00:09:29,679 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: I hope I get it right. I think in their 174 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: eight losses they have a takeaways, and their nine wins 175 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: they have nineteen and every everything with the season. When 176 00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:43,599 Speaker 1: you break it down, success for this team is a 177 00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,839 Speaker 1: huge turnover number. Lack of success is a low turnover number. 178 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: Um And I think when you're talking about this Jaguars defense, 179 00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, you always want to talk in terms of yards, 180 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,839 Speaker 1: and that always hangs in negative thing on a team. 181 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:01,199 Speaker 1: And they give a lot of yards, but their fourth 182 00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: in the NFL and takeaways and in this day and age, 183 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:05,959 Speaker 1: I've been preaching for a couple of years. In this 184 00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: day and age, it's not yards, it's it's points. And takeaways. 185 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:11,199 Speaker 1: Well you hear Tony, don't you say that? When he 186 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:13,559 Speaker 1: was on with us yesterday he said, hey, look, you're 187 00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:15,839 Speaker 1: going to give up yards. That's the way that this 188 00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:18,720 Speaker 1: league wants it to be. The rules have been tilted 189 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,199 Speaker 1: steadily since nineteen in the form of offense to the 190 00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: side of offense. I should say, it makes for great 191 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 1: TV when you have a lot of points being put up. 192 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: But if you can break right, break, serve, put yourself 193 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 1: in a good position, and you construct your defense now 194 00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:36,400 Speaker 1: to be able to do that. All right, let's take 195 00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,800 Speaker 1: a break. When we come back here on Jags Drive Time, 196 00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: we'll go around the locker room and give you more 197 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: of a perspective from the players. By the way, this 198 00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: week's game, the wild Card game against the Chargers, is 199 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:55,000 Speaker 1: presented by our friends at Daily's Daily's. It's nicer here 200 00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,800 Speaker 1: and we'll be nice to you when we come back 201 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 1: on Jags Drive Time Attracts.

Bank Field Jaguars, Chargers 207 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: come on NBC. I was gonna see ESPN. That was 208 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: last week. Back to back primetime games, big game, back 209 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: to back Saturday nights. It's it's uh, it's epic for 210 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 1: this friend and and this marketplace. Saturday night games in 211 00:11:37,200 --> 00:11:40,360 Speaker 1: the playoffs haven't been going on forever, and I think 212 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: this is the first time since two thousand and fourteen. 213 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 1: I'm trying to get the stat right, first time since 214 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,920 Speaker 1: two thousand fourteen that the a f C South game. 215 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:52,720 Speaker 1: If the a f C South plays on the first 216 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 1: weekend of the postseason, they have been in the Saturday 217 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: afternoon time slot every year since two thousands. Smaller, uh 218 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 1: not this year. Um, They've got the kid with the 219 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,439 Speaker 1: hair bottom, no doubt, and he's gonna put them on 220 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,599 Speaker 1: the map. And this is really the first moment like 221 00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: that where you can say it's the Trevor factor. I 222 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: was listening. It wasn't Trevor versus Justin Herbert. You might 223 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: see this game at four o'clock in the afternoon, and 224 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 1: I was listening to a National show and Ed McCaffrey 225 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: was on, and he was saying exactly that he looked. 226 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: You've got two of the best young quarterbacks in the 227 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: game that happened to be these big, you know, long 228 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:32,199 Speaker 1: haired quarterbacks that have a little sex appeal, uh, you know, 229 00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,480 Speaker 1: and from a football perspective, and so to put them 230 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: on Saturday Night with Al Michaels and Tony Dungee, you know, 231 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: in the building, creates a sense that it's a must 232 00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:44,640 Speaker 1: must watch game for football fans. I think it is. 233 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 1: Yesterday it was real. I mean it. There's no reason 234 00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:54,520 Speaker 1: that the Jaguars can't be a fun national team. It's 235 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,440 Speaker 1: just people have to get to know them, and people 236 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: we have set last week about them not being on 237 00:12:58,240 --> 00:13:01,959 Speaker 1: Sunday night. Yeah, a nation doesn't know them yet. I 238 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 1: got to know him a little bit last Saturday. We'll 239 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 1: get to know him a little bit this Saturday. I 240 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,920 Speaker 1: don't think primetime games are gonna be a problem for 241 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: anybody else set me moving forward because they don't like 242 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:14,840 Speaker 1: them at one o'clock is a lot easier for everyone 243 00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:17,000 Speaker 1: who's working the day. But it's it's a lot of 244 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 1: fun to have these primetime games. And hopefully this Saturday 245 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: night is equal to last Saturday Night. And we know this, 246 00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,000 Speaker 1: it's gonna come down to the fourth quarter. It's gonna 247 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:27,720 Speaker 1: be a close game. It's the way it is. You're 248 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:30,240 Speaker 1: not running away from these guys like you did in 249 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,559 Speaker 1: week three. Let's go around the locker room and the 250 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:36,360 Speaker 1: Dragon Wars have fallen behind in games a lot, even 251 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,800 Speaker 1: in this winning streak. They've fallen behind. But you've seen 252 00:13:40,120 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: that their confidence has never fallen. And we caught up 253 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,319 Speaker 1: with one player in the locker room yesterday who knows why. 254 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: I'm telling you. Let them get the lead, let them 255 00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,959 Speaker 1: get start to look at the scoreboard, look at the time, 256 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, start to think, oh, and we're just gonna 257 00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, we're gambling now, you know, lost a couple 258 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 1: of pots early, pick up a good hand and ship 259 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:08,120 Speaker 1: it downtown zero get paid off. Dowey, he has become 260 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: a best Yeah, a caricature. No, he's he's he's everything. 261 00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 1: He's uh, you know, obviously, the cool thing about runs 262 00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:22,560 Speaker 1: like this is you start getting stories. Fans start embracing 263 00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: different players in the team, and uh, you know, at 264 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: probably second to Trevor, Dewey's the guy that fans embrace. 265 00:14:30,280 --> 00:14:32,880 Speaker 1: They love him and around him in the locker room yesterday. 266 00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:37,160 Speaker 1: He's a kid who loves playing. You see how much 267 00:14:37,240 --> 00:14:39,160 Speaker 1: he loves you see much he enjoys it. He's savor 268 00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: in every moment of his NFL career. Uh, that's the 269 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 1: guy you're supposed to root for. It's fine. If you 270 00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:46,440 Speaker 1: gotta win in the playoffs, You've got to be able 271 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,040 Speaker 1: to run the football. And the Jaguars have been pretty 272 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: good against the run against everyone except the Titans. That is, 273 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,920 Speaker 1: they face a Chargers defense that he's not very good 274 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 1: against the run, and Travis E. T n knows this 275 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 1: is a good time to get it started again. I 276 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 1: just called him players honestly, just calling the runs and 277 00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:06,680 Speaker 1: just executing and uh, just not going up on a 278 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: run and just keep swinging and just keep calling him 279 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: my number. He wants the ball, and why not. I'd 280 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: be surprised if he, uh, he's gonna get opportunities. I 281 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:20,240 Speaker 1: would be surprised he doesn't have a big game. Um, 282 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: and I think that he has to have a big 283 00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:28,080 Speaker 1: game for them to be good offensively. Because of the 284 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:31,880 Speaker 1: way the Chargers play, they are willing to give yards 285 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: in the running game so as not to give up 286 00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,520 Speaker 1: huge plays in the passing game. Uh So I think 287 00:15:39,560 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 1: it lines up pregame storylines don't always manifest himselves during 288 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:49,520 Speaker 1: the game. I'd be stunned if that one doesn't. Eleven yards, 289 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:52,600 Speaker 1: five touchdowns, five hundred yard games, over a five yard 290 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: per cuy average for all of the accolades that this 291 00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: team is getting about the things they've done well. He's 292 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,400 Speaker 1: kind of been off to the side in the last 293 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: four or five games that he had a surge mid season, 294 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 1: and I think teams kind of figured out, hey, we're 295 00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,520 Speaker 1: not gonna let him beat us, so that brings his 296 00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:13,520 Speaker 1: numbers down. I think Doug Peterson would tell you the 297 00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: fact that teams have to be concerned about him helps 298 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:18,880 Speaker 1: everything else. One week, it's one thing with this offense. 299 00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,360 Speaker 1: This is a lot like Philadelphia offense when Doug was there. 300 00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: No real superstar, no guy that it stands out am 301 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,480 Speaker 1: under the rest. But it's it's an for having just 302 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,640 Speaker 1: put this thing together in the off season. It's an 303 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: unbelievably balanced team. You can win low scoring games, we 304 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 1: win high scoring games offensively. Uh, if you're the charge 305 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,840 Speaker 1: of defensive coordinator, who are you walking to the head 306 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,240 Speaker 1: coach and we gotta stop this guy. There's not one, 307 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,680 Speaker 1: there's four or five. You better stop and even Morvin Jones, 308 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,360 Speaker 1: who kind of gets forgotten about a little bit big 309 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,720 Speaker 1: plays as he made this year. I mean, so it's 310 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: an impressive balance. But that's the way Doug coaches. One 311 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:02,840 Speaker 1: of the storylines has been the running game. And for 312 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: the Chargers that means Austin Ekeler, and for the Jaguars 313 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,880 Speaker 1: that means they're leading tackler and the NFL is leading tackler. 314 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,000 Speaker 1: Foyer Alukon knows what has to happen. Um he runs 315 00:17:14,080 --> 00:17:16,760 Speaker 1: with the ball. Well, obviously he's a strong runner. You know, 316 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: he got no mood out of the back building stuff. 317 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,159 Speaker 1: He's tough to get an angle on Brill because he's 318 00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:23,560 Speaker 1: also fast, so you know, with somebody running the ball 319 00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: that hard. When he has the ball in his hand, 320 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 1: he's always a danger. So you gotta keep eyes on him. Really, 321 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:30,960 Speaker 1: and we have talked at length about Eckler, So let's 322 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: move on to our final thought, and that's from Josh Allen. 323 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: This week's a f C Defensive Player of the Week, 324 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: testament of everybody doing the right thing, everybody be in 325 00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: the right spot, and uh, Captain laiz On, opportunities that 326 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:46,320 Speaker 1: looking really made and uh, you know, great honor, but 327 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,280 Speaker 1: you know, great honor, you know, shout out to the team. 328 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: You know, I think it was a team thing. I think, 329 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 1: you know, multiple guys on his defense had a hell 330 00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 1: of a game to help me get to where I 331 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,159 Speaker 1: was the one of spotlighted. Uh you know, to do 332 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: it again though, And I think it's important to point 333 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:09,240 Speaker 1: out arden Key had nine quarterback pressures, nine and out 334 00:18:09,280 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: if I think eighteen or nineteen pass rushes, so about 335 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,920 Speaker 1: half the time, which is if you if you don't 336 00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,119 Speaker 1: follow the numbers of the NFL, is amazing. It's unbelievable. 337 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,919 Speaker 1: And Josh ezackly right, that was a team award as 338 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: much as anything. And he benefited from scooping as well. 339 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:26,920 Speaker 1: And he had a good game, don't get me wrong, 340 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 1: but uh, arden Key's best play may have been when 341 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: he was celebrating ray Sean sack before it happened, and 342 00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,320 Speaker 1: he has nine pressures and that'll be the play people remember. 343 00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,640 Speaker 1: So it was uh yeah, but but good for Josh 344 00:18:39,720 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 1: Allen and I made his point a couple of times. 345 00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,840 Speaker 1: He hit a sack taken away the other night. Um 346 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:45,600 Speaker 1: so at the end of the ball game where he 347 00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 1: stripped the ball away. It should have been his sack, 348 00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: and then Dobbs catches it and somebody else gets the sack. 349 00:18:51,440 --> 00:18:53,080 Speaker 1: And if you're Josh Allen, after the year he's had 350 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: the frustrating year, he's probably like, all right, I'm not 351 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: gonna get any anymore. Just forget it. But good for 352 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:00,680 Speaker 1: Josh to get that, relax and go pl Jaguars and 353 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,679 Speaker 1: Chargers coming up on Saturday Night. We'd like to now 354 00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:07,760 Speaker 1: at this point include the entire audience in this including 355 00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:11,439 Speaker 1: our fans over in Great Britain. And so we've got 356 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 1: a new segment for you this week called Ponder This 357 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 1: from Across the Pond, very cleverly name I Get It, 358 00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:24,800 Speaker 1: Save It Pond the Pond. So Ponder This begins with 359 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: this question. Tony Boselli said, previously the Jacks would win 360 00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,119 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Lawrence and Peterson. Is that this season? 361 00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,560 Speaker 1: From Ian Pointer? Ian, thanks for the question, John your answer, No, 362 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,800 Speaker 1: I mean I it. It would defy logic as much 363 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: as I wanted to happen, as much as it obviously 364 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:46,199 Speaker 1: could happen, because yeah, you're in the terments. Some thing 365 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:51,359 Speaker 1: it happened. Um, it would be a a remarkable lift. 366 00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:57,359 Speaker 1: Get past this game and then probably if Seeds Hold 367 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,639 Speaker 1: have to go to Kansas City and then have to 368 00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:05,240 Speaker 1: go to either Buffalo Cincinnati UM this season, I think 369 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,119 Speaker 1: it's gonna happen. I think it's going to be a 370 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 1: long run of success and they will get one maybe 371 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:14,280 Speaker 1: you know who knows how many. But if if I'm 372 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,359 Speaker 1: being honest, I have to say no, and I would 373 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:18,359 Speaker 1: agree with that. I think it's when you look at 374 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 1: Kansas City and Buffalo, two teams that have been pounding 375 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: at each other at the top of the a f C, 376 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,360 Speaker 1: and Cincinnati last year who took away the Chief's bid 377 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:29,920 Speaker 1: for a third straight Super Bowl, and and that quarterback 378 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,680 Speaker 1: Joe Burrow looks like he is as dangerous as any 379 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,320 Speaker 1: maybe the most dangerous in the a f C. Right now, 380 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,400 Speaker 1: I would say no, that the Jaguars in the first 381 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 1: year with Doug Peterson are still a ways away from 382 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 1: being ready to compete for that. But when I guarantee 383 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,280 Speaker 1: when my boy Jeff Hobson from Cincinnati, he does. My 384 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,200 Speaker 1: JEF Cincinnati was asked last year that same question, the 385 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:54,960 Speaker 1: same thing. He probably said no. So it's not a 386 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: stupid question. It's not like it can't happen. The odds 387 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:01,159 Speaker 1: would say no. So let's get to our next question, 388 00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:04,680 Speaker 1: which comes to us from Joe Vincent. Rank the Josh 389 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,840 Speaker 1: Allen touchdown among the greatest ever moments at ever bank 390 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,479 Speaker 1: slash t I A A bank field. So if we're 391 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,280 Speaker 1: gonna do that, we also have to include all Tell 392 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: Stadium and Jacksonville Municipal Stadium. Yeah, well, it's on the rushmore. 393 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,680 Speaker 1: I mean, it's is it. I mean, I think the 394 00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 1: only one that compares is Morton, Right well, I mean 395 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 1: I think you've gotta you gotta have blocked field goal. 396 00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:32,560 Speaker 1: Uh Clyde Simmons blocking Norm Johnson's field goal attempt in 397 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:34,639 Speaker 1: the first ever Monday night football game. Here. This is 398 00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,480 Speaker 1: bigger than that, I would agree. But we're talking about 399 00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,320 Speaker 1: great moments, right, Um, I think you've got to put 400 00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:46,640 Speaker 1: in in nineteen nine nine the playoffs, Fred's ninety yard 401 00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,320 Speaker 1: run was one of those great moments in Jaguars history. Um, 402 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:55,439 Speaker 1: this is top five. Yeah, Fred's run? Uh how long 403 00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,120 Speaker 1: was that? Was that? Ninety yards? Because you're called yeah, 404 00:21:58,240 --> 00:21:59,679 Speaker 1: nine yards? And then the reason I bring it up 405 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 1: is because that one really put the game away. It's 406 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:03,840 Speaker 1: you can see the Dolphins just kind of give up 407 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,680 Speaker 1: at that moment um. Yeah, that I guess I would 408 00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: put that there. Uh, Morton's miss and this one, but 409 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:16,639 Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be played forever. I mean, 410 00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 1: it's if somebody told me they thought that was the greatest, 411 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: I wouldn't argue. Well, and you're putting two into that 412 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:24,920 Speaker 1: rushmore this year because the end of the Cowboys game 413 00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 1: ra Shaan Jenkins with a walk off interception for a 414 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,639 Speaker 1: touchdown against Dallas in a game that most of the 415 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:33,040 Speaker 1: country saw. Yeah, we've talked about this little bit, Brian, 416 00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: but um and so I'm gonna say, not quite up 417 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,480 Speaker 1: with Fred and Morton. But that may be because we're 418 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:45,840 Speaker 1: old and have an affinity for those plays. Uh. I 419 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: wouldn't argue very strongly if somebody thought this one the 420 00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:52,080 Speaker 1: other night was the best. It's you know, it's probably 421 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,880 Speaker 1: an opinion thing more than a fact thing. We talked 422 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 1: earlier this week, Brian. I think with the last four 423 00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: games they've played at home, seventeen points down on the 424 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,080 Speaker 1: Raiders and one nine points down on the Ravens in 425 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:06,119 Speaker 1: one the Cowboys game that you just mentioned. In this 426 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: game the other night, you've seen them all out of 427 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: the top ten home games in Jaguars history do those 428 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: four make the list? So all four markable run that 429 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,440 Speaker 1: I think when you're covering it, you're going week to week. 430 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:27,480 Speaker 1: I had sort of forgotten that those four games we're 431 00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:31,320 Speaker 1: all on a row. Um. I don't think you'll ever 432 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:33,520 Speaker 1: have a four game stretch quite like that, because I 433 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:34,919 Speaker 1: think in the future, when you're winning those games, you're 434 00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,520 Speaker 1: gonna be up. This is a team. I mean, those 435 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:40,359 Speaker 1: games not only define the team, they happen for this 436 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: fan base to see and you can feel it each week, 437 00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,639 Speaker 1: the fans getting more and more excited, more and more excited. 438 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:48,280 Speaker 1: This is what we've been talking about for ten years, Brian. 439 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: I'm thrilled for people who weren't here in ninety six 440 00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:56,200 Speaker 1: because we've talked so much about that. You're getting to 441 00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:59,359 Speaker 1: experience this kind of moment. You know, from from nowhere 442 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,879 Speaker 1: to where they are now, what they do from here 443 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,000 Speaker 1: on out. It's this run. This is a run of 444 00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: better games for the fans. Totally get it because the 445 00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: fans a every game has been knockdown, drag out, plus Brian, 446 00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: they get a playoff game at the end of it 447 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: on the back side of it, which they did. I 448 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:22,280 Speaker 1: mean you and me will always you know, have that 449 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: moment that will be a thing. But for fans this run, 450 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,680 Speaker 1: when you get the cherry of a playoff game on 451 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 1: top of these four um unbelievable. I mean it's you 452 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:36,879 Speaker 1: couldn't have written this great, very good. Somebody could have 453 00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 1: written this great. Questions to ponder and we'll look forward 454 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,679 Speaker 1: to adding that segment in weekly throughout the off season 455 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,600 Speaker 1: to make sure that all Jaguars fans on this side 456 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:48,000 Speaker 1: or the other side are part of the whole effort. 457 00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: And you can reach out at Jack's UK and make 458 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,640 Speaker 1: sure that folks over there have questions to get back 459 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: to us on a weekly basis. That'll do it for 460 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:00,719 Speaker 1: this segment. When we come back, he will, he won't. 461 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: He might next on Jack's Drive Time or soventh.

The thought stress free. 466 00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: As you get to this point of the season, just 467 00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,400 Speaker 1: it may be pause. It seemed nice. Yeah, there there's 468 00:25:37,400 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: a lot. There is no more stress free for games. Yeah, 469 00:25:41,760 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: all right, so let's get to it. He will, he won't, 470 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: he might eat, and you'll start with you, John Well, 471 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: I'm always trying to set and it seems like I'm 472 00:25:50,200 --> 00:25:53,280 Speaker 1: going with Travis a lot for this segment because he's 473 00:25:53,320 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: so key for what this team wants to do. Um, 474 00:25:56,840 --> 00:26:00,719 Speaker 1: he will get more yards than he did last week, haven't. 475 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: I don't say easy, but have an easier time of 476 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:07,400 Speaker 1: it than you did against Tennessee because it's not really 477 00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,359 Speaker 1: knock on the Charger's then a very good run defense, 478 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: but nobody compares to Tennessee in this league right now. Um, 479 00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:15,560 Speaker 1: he won't fumble, and that's always what I gotta sort 480 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: of and then you can stop. Everyone's glad to hear that. Yeah, 481 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,080 Speaker 1: I mean, and uh, that's a hope more than a fact, 482 00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: because that's the one X factor going into this game 483 00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: that you don't want to see the ball in the 484 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: ground that would they would give it a really oh 485 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,719 Speaker 1: no feeling if you see him fumble. But he might 486 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,239 Speaker 1: be the key uh to the game offensively. I think 487 00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:41,240 Speaker 1: people who have watched the show this week aren't surprised 488 00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,399 Speaker 1: when we say that, Um, he's getting a couple of 489 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 1: big runs. I think he's gonna get a hundred and 490 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 1: twenty UM and I think you almost have to have 491 00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:57,920 Speaker 1: that to have a chance and then go hit some 492 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,680 Speaker 1: big plays off of that in the red zone. But 493 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,360 Speaker 1: I think he's got to be the meat and potatoes 494 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,960 Speaker 1: a little bit this week. Agreed the Titans, as Doug 495 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,399 Speaker 1: Peterson has said over and over, they just have a 496 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,480 Speaker 1: unique personnel profile. They play the run better than almost 497 00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:13,840 Speaker 1: anyone in this game, and so he was never gonna 498 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: get started last week. They were going to make sure 499 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:18,600 Speaker 1: of that this week. Chargers do not play the run 500 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: very well. And remember James Robinson. Had Robinson had the 501 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:25,240 Speaker 1: fifty two yard run, he he doesn't have near the 502 00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:28,560 Speaker 1: explosiveness that Travis has, so you'd like to think you 503 00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,680 Speaker 1: could get him free. And that's not really saying that 504 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: the charges are a bad defense. It's more the way 505 00:27:32,840 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 1: that it's more the way the league is set up. 506 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,879 Speaker 1: You almost have to give something up. Uh. And I 507 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,320 Speaker 1: say they don't try to stop the run, try the 508 00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 1: south the run, but they don't emphasize it the way 509 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:46,200 Speaker 1: the Titans do. It's not like when they're sitting in 510 00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 1: a in their team meeting on Wednesday, the first thing 511 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: they throw up on the board is not we've got 512 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:53,879 Speaker 1: to stop the run. It's not what they're about with 513 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:55,879 Speaker 1: the Jaguars, that is the first thing they say. So 514 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: it's a little different philosophically. So that's why I think 515 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 1: you have to do that well against them, because they're 516 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,600 Speaker 1: giving it to you a little bit to take other 517 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: things away. All Right, I will go with Foyer Lukan 518 00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:09,000 Speaker 1: the league's leading tacklip where he will he won't be 519 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: might and he will have a huge, huge task this week. 520 00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: He is going to have to find number thirty, who 521 00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:21,000 Speaker 1: is a very patient runner, which means the aggressive middle linebacker. 522 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: He's going to have to be patient as well. He 523 00:28:23,760 --> 00:28:26,800 Speaker 1: will get the call to be that guy. Um, he 524 00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:28,800 Speaker 1: won't have much breath left when it's all over. He 525 00:28:28,920 --> 00:28:32,359 Speaker 1: is going to be running sideline to sideline chasing Eckler. 526 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,600 Speaker 1: Whether it's a screen, whether it's a run, whatever it is, 527 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 1: he is going to be moving because they move Eckler 528 00:28:39,840 --> 00:28:42,800 Speaker 1: all across the formation to try to get the matchups 529 00:28:42,880 --> 00:28:45,120 Speaker 1: they want. Um and I think he might be the 530 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: key John to steal your thunder from Travis e t 531 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,240 Speaker 1: N if he has a big game, If he's got 532 00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:53,600 Speaker 1: eighteen tackles, which we saw from him earlier in this 533 00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:57,240 Speaker 1: winning streak. Um, you've won the game because it means 534 00:28:57,280 --> 00:29:00,880 Speaker 1: that he has gotten his hands on Eckler a lot. Yeah, 535 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 1: and I don't know that you want to see a 536 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: game where ray Sean has eighteens because it means getting 537 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: the second level. So yeah, I agree with you. He 538 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,760 Speaker 1: he's key defensively the whole. I mean, everybody on the 539 00:29:13,840 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 1: front seven's key. When you're trying to stop a guy 540 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 1: like Ecklif. The awareness in the pursuit to the sides 541 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 1: are so big that everybody's got to be key. But 542 00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: if you're picking one. I asked my Caldwell in his 543 00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:30,240 Speaker 1: news conference yesterday about the patient running style, and he 544 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: paused being patient himself. He said he will wait and 545 00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:38,320 Speaker 1: wait and wait because he trusts himself at his explosiveness 546 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,760 Speaker 1: to be able to find his way back to the whole, 547 00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 1: and when he does, generally everyone else's lost patience. And yeah, 548 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:49,240 Speaker 1: he's got a rarity about it from Western Colorado of 549 00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: all places. All right, we'll take a break, come back 550 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,920 Speaker 1: and give you Sunday morning's headlines today a quick look 551 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,280 Speaker 1: into the future of what we think you might be 552 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:00,560 Speaker 1: reading on Sunday morning. Back after this on Jack Drive Time, 553 00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:12,560 Speaker 1: presented by the Field's Auto Group. All right, back to 554 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: wrap it up on Thursday, Jaguars on the practice field today. 555 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: It's a Friday in their week because Saturday is Sunday, 556 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 1: which means Sunday is Monday, which means Monday's headlines today 557 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:26,120 Speaker 1: is actually Sunday's headlines today. And you follow all that, 558 00:30:26,600 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: You're probably smart enough to be able to choose your 559 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: own headline. But we're gonna grab John for his instead. Well, 560 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:37,960 Speaker 1: with apologies to music aficionado to Fortunata, I'm saying, going 561 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: to Kansas City, Kansas City here, Kansas City here, I 562 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,200 Speaker 1: come right, So here we go. We got some crazy 563 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: little women there, and I'm gonna get me one. Well, sorry, 564 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:53,320 Speaker 1: I'm from Kansas City from better Uh. Yeah, I think 565 00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 1: they're going to win. I think it's gonna be easy. 566 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: I'm fifty nine, you know what I'm saying that, Um, 567 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,720 Speaker 1: but I think the seating plays out the next day 568 00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:12,400 Speaker 1: where I don't think the Bills or the Bengals will 569 00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,760 Speaker 1: lose so as a result, and they're going to Candy 570 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. All right, And I'll go with follow 571 00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 1: me on this one thunderous, right, you get the lightning 572 00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 1: bolts in here. Jaguars counter with a big win, big 573 00:31:25,440 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: one point two points, it doesn't matter. But a win 574 00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:32,520 Speaker 1: that has this stadium as thunderous as it was last 575 00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 1: Saturday night. Um, you know, I mean it's joy when 576 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:40,080 Speaker 1: you look at these two teams, they are so statistically 577 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,160 Speaker 1: even we went through that yesterday. Here's something that you 578 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 1: should consider. The Chargers played in Denver. Right, they went 579 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:51,240 Speaker 1: from sea level to feet which is where the stadium 580 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,440 Speaker 1: sits in Denver in Colorado, back to sea level. That's 581 00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,200 Speaker 1: not an easy trip for anybody. We know, we've we've 582 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,320 Speaker 1: done the exact same trip from this side. Now they're 583 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,040 Speaker 1: gonna come all the way across the country and we 584 00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 1: know how difficult to trip that is. And they're doing 585 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:07,479 Speaker 1: it all in less than a week. Yeah, the short week. Uh. 586 00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:10,479 Speaker 1: Again in the playoffs, you never know. It can come 587 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 1: out the other way. Of course it could, But when 588 00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,920 Speaker 1: you're playing a team on a short week, uh, and 589 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: you're traveling that kind of distance, you're not doing the 590 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: team doing the traveling any favors. So it's a tough 591 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,080 Speaker 1: task for that. I think you say nine, I think 592 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: that leans in the Jaguars direction, playing at home on 593 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:31,560 Speaker 1: Saturday night, and that'll do it for our broadcast week here, 594 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,400 Speaker 1: don't forget the ozone podcast with Rashon Jenkins is out. 595 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: Happy Hour comes up later today, uh, and kickoff on 596 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:43,720 Speaker 1: Saturday night Eastern time. And it goes out saying Brian, 597 00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:47,000 Speaker 1: everybody enjoy it. I mean, the fans have waited a 598 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,040 Speaker 1: long time for this. Uh. Savor the moment. It's fine, 599 00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:52,719 Speaker 1: we'll leave on those wise words from John Os. You're 600 00:32:52,840 --> 00:32:57,320 Speaker 1: savor at the moment and enjoy the anticipation it seems 601 00:32:57,360 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 1: like forever until Saturday night. Make sure that you enjoy 602 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: that part of it as well, because that's fun. All Right, 603 00:33:01,920 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: We're done, See you later. M
