WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 128 | Culture and Pride at Forefront to Wrap Last 2 Games

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into dag Dam. I'm Kindannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, and

0:00:19.880 --> 0:00:21.880
<v Speaker 1>John Oser are with me today as we get ready

0:00:21.880 --> 0:00:24.440
<v Speaker 1>to talk to you about Titanking Jaguars matchup on Sunday.

0:00:24.440 --> 0:00:25.400
<v Speaker 1>But first of all, I want to wish you a

0:00:25.440 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>happy holiday. Hope you had a merry Christmas and happy

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.360
<v Speaker 1>Honkah for those who celebrate. We're gonna start with a

0:00:29.400 --> 0:00:31.320
<v Speaker 1>big thing, number one, which is reality. I spent a

0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>lot of my holiday watching basketball and football, and I

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:37.159
<v Speaker 1>think watching that Texan game, Brian, we've talked a ton

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:40.000
<v Speaker 1>about this being a missed opportunity for this division, but

0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:42.159
<v Speaker 1>just being what the Texans have done this year, and

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.400
<v Speaker 1>this being that missed opportunity is out of takeaway you

0:00:44.440 --> 0:00:44.879
<v Speaker 1>had as well.

0:00:45.040 --> 0:00:46.960
<v Speaker 2>Well it was, and I think I mentioned it last

0:00:47.000 --> 0:00:49.519
<v Speaker 2>week on our Hot Takes on Thursday. I think this

0:00:49.560 --> 0:00:52.199
<v Speaker 2>can be a quick turnaround for the Jaguars because I

0:00:52.240 --> 0:00:53.680
<v Speaker 2>don't think the Texans are that good now.

0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 3>Listen, They've got some really good.

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:58.480
<v Speaker 2>Players and they made plays and won close games this year,

0:00:58.520 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>including two against the Jaguars. But I didn't think and

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:06.160
<v Speaker 2>their result yesterday against the Baltimore Ravens didn't show a

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.920
<v Speaker 2>team that's head and shoulders better than the rest of

0:01:08.959 --> 0:01:11.480
<v Speaker 2>the AFC South, Not like when Peyton Manning was the

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:13.840
<v Speaker 2>quarterback of the Colts and John was covering them. It's

0:01:13.880 --> 0:01:17.640
<v Speaker 2>a completely different deal. I think the Jaguars, if they

0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 2>do some right things, and we can debate what those

0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 2>right things are, kai but if they do some things well,

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 2>they've got pieces here that they can quickly turn this around.

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 3>And I think yesterday's game showed that.

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, if a few things had gone right for the Jags.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:35.880
<v Speaker 4>You know, they've lost so many close games, which to

0:01:35.959 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 4>me means you're a bad team. But being a bad

0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:41.640
<v Speaker 4>team doesn't necessarily mean you're that far away from getting

0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:47.040
<v Speaker 4>it right. They have pieces, Yes, if they do the things,

0:01:47.560 --> 0:01:50.520
<v Speaker 4>If they have the kind of turnaround they did in

0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:54.160
<v Speaker 4>twenty twenty two, the Texans are gettable. But you know,

0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.720
<v Speaker 4>when you're three and twelve, I'm not gonna sit there

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:56.360
<v Speaker 4>and talk about.

0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:56.880
<v Speaker 3>Winning the division.

0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that's fair. It's got a big thing

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:00.600
<v Speaker 1>Number two, which is holiday. Wish a lot about the

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>Holidays game yesterday, and I'm gonna talk a little bit

0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 1>about us coming back and reinventing the team a little

0:02:06.520 --> 0:02:09.400
<v Speaker 1>bit next year. So as far as a holiday wish, John,

0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.079
<v Speaker 1>if you could only fix one thing right now, what's

0:02:11.120 --> 0:02:12.880
<v Speaker 1>the most important thing for this team to fix?

0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:17.600
<v Speaker 4>Well, do I get to choose either the defensive interior

0:02:17.680 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 4>or the offensive interior. And by the offensive interior, those

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:25.720
<v Speaker 4>guys have passed blocked well this year. But I guess

0:02:25.800 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 4>I would change the fact that this team on either

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 4>side of the ball doesn't feel like it can get

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.280
<v Speaker 4>a big stop or get a big fourth and one

0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.639
<v Speaker 4>way that matters. That's not every play They've gotten some,

0:02:37.400 --> 0:02:42.160
<v Speaker 4>but just overall, Brian, there's a stoutness and a toughness

0:02:42.160 --> 0:02:46.760
<v Speaker 4>that they talked about last off season getting and to me,

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:51.480
<v Speaker 4>that still sort of defines too much. Can I have

0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 4>the secondary too well?

0:02:53.800 --> 0:02:57.079
<v Speaker 3>You just do mine two things.

0:02:57.400 --> 0:03:00.600
<v Speaker 2>First of all, they just have to be better in

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:02.840
<v Speaker 2>the middle of both lines. I mean, Mitch Morse came

0:03:02.880 --> 0:03:06.600
<v Speaker 2>in and he brought them more stoutness. But they're still

0:03:06.639 --> 0:03:08.720
<v Speaker 2>not that good when you want to run the ball,

0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:11.520
<v Speaker 2>and we saw that last week in Las Vegas. They

0:03:11.639 --> 0:03:15.079
<v Speaker 2>just don't. They can't not between the tackles. Occasionally they can,

0:03:15.400 --> 0:03:17.919
<v Speaker 2>they can't exert their will on offense and on defense.

0:03:18.600 --> 0:03:20.520
<v Speaker 2>I get pushed around too much up front. So from

0:03:20.520 --> 0:03:23.200
<v Speaker 2>the toughness perspective, that's there. But as I was thinking

0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 2>about your question, Kai, this is esoteric. I mean, I

0:03:25.880 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 2>can't put my finger on it and give you seven

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:31.960
<v Speaker 2>different things. But the culture in this building is just

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:34.280
<v Speaker 2>not the same as the culture that you have in

0:03:34.360 --> 0:03:37.720
<v Speaker 2>a place with a winning tradition. You've been in New England.

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 2>You know that John was in Indianapolis when they were

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:44.440
<v Speaker 2>winning every week. This place doesn't have that winning culture.

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.080
<v Speaker 2>And you can talk about it coming from the general manager,

0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:48.800
<v Speaker 2>from the coach, or from the owner, but it.

0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:49.920
<v Speaker 3>Comes from the players.

0:03:50.360 --> 0:03:53.360
<v Speaker 2>And we've just seen too many times this year this

0:03:53.440 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 2>team get beat by the little details. The things that

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.000
<v Speaker 2>great teams do. Doesn't look to me like the Jaguar

0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.080
<v Speaker 2>do that. Whether that's extra time in the film room

0:04:03.160 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>or more time in the weight room, or it's got

0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.840
<v Speaker 2>to come from the players. The culture is set by

0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.880
<v Speaker 2>the guys on the field, and I want to see

0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 2>a legitimate winning culture in this building, and I think

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:17.440
<v Speaker 2>that comes from doing more.

0:04:17.839 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 3>That's just a perspective.

0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Culture definitely sets the tones. So I agree with you there.

0:04:21.680 --> 0:04:23.479
<v Speaker 1>Our final big thing today is going to be rivalry.

0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk a little bit about this week, the Titans

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:27.279
<v Speaker 1>are coming to town. This the second time Jaguars are

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 1>going to play them this month. Now, Brian, we talked

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>a lot about the rivalry. I feel like some of

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:35.719
<v Speaker 1>the rivalry energy has been put on the Texans lately.

0:04:35.839 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 1>But will it always be the Titans no matter what,

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:38.919
<v Speaker 1>even in the down years.

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:40.720
<v Speaker 2>Well, listen for those of us who are here in

0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.640
<v Speaker 2>the early days, I mean, the Titans were the oilers

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:45.080
<v Speaker 2>and they came in here and spoiled the Jaguars inaugural

0:04:45.120 --> 0:04:47.839
<v Speaker 2>game ten to three. You look a little bit further

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 2>into it, in the nineteen ninety eight, the Jaguars had

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.479
<v Speaker 2>the chance to win their first AFC South Division title

0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 2>here in December. Titans spoiled that one. A year later,

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 2>Jaguars host the AFC Championship game of Titans at that

0:05:00.080 --> 0:05:03.240
<v Speaker 2>point spoil that. And then through the years there's been

0:05:03.240 --> 0:05:06.320
<v Speaker 2>the rivalry with you know, Jeff Fisher, and it just

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.039
<v Speaker 2>this is the rivalry. I don't care whether they don't,

0:05:10.040 --> 0:05:11.760
<v Speaker 2>I don't care what the record is. I always want

0:05:11.760 --> 0:05:13.880
<v Speaker 2>to beat the Titans, and the Titans John have always

0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.000
<v Speaker 2>seemed whether they were the Oilers of the Titans, to

0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:19.240
<v Speaker 2>have the upper hand. I mean they have, but Doug

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 2>Peterson is four and one in five games against the Titans,

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.800
<v Speaker 2>and I like that. And the Jaguars have finally kind

0:05:25.800 --> 0:05:29.080
<v Speaker 2>of narrowed the gap between wins and losses to under

0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:32.640
<v Speaker 2>double digits. So, yes, this is a rivalry game. It

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.960
<v Speaker 2>will always be the rivalry as far as I'm concerned,

0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 2>and I want to see them win.

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:40.279
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I mean it's there are fans who write me

0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 4>and I always wanted for a little tongue in cheek,

0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:46.360
<v Speaker 4>but they say that they'd rather beat the Titans than

0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.719
<v Speaker 4>do anything else. So there is a hatred and arrival.

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:50.320
<v Speaker 3>Among some people.

0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:54.640
<v Speaker 4>It was cooler when you got the sweep, and the

0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:58.320
<v Speaker 4>sweep got you the division title. I mean that was

0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.240
<v Speaker 4>really a satisfying thing. When you knock them out of

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 4>the playoffs and sent them down, I guess the next

0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:07.680
<v Speaker 4>best thing is to sweep them to go four and twelve.

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:09.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is not going to be one of those

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:13.480
<v Speaker 2>super memorable games just because of the circumstances. But this

0:06:13.680 --> 0:06:16.320
<v Speaker 2>is the Titans and it is one of those games

0:06:16.360 --> 0:06:18.440
<v Speaker 2>that should matter to people, and you reignite it by

0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:18.960
<v Speaker 2>beating them.

0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Absolutely, stay with us after the break. We'll talk a

0:06:21.600 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit about that Titans game. Well, what the brand

0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:28.840
<v Speaker 1>of town. Jag Xam brought to you by Field's Auto

0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:32.200
<v Speaker 1>Group Jackfield's premier luxury auto group had Overfield Auto dot Com.

0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:36.800
<v Speaker 1>Check them out. Welcome back into jag Zam today. We

0:06:36.839 --> 0:06:39.159
<v Speaker 1>do have a football game this Sunday, but last game

0:06:39.200 --> 0:06:41.880
<v Speaker 1>here in EverBank Stadium this season. So we're gonna talk

0:06:41.880 --> 0:06:43.800
<v Speaker 1>a little bit about the Titans. We played them already

0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.400
<v Speaker 1>this month, but things could look a little bit different.

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>Our head coach Brian Callian talked a little bit about

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>who's going to be a quarterback.

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:51.800
<v Speaker 5>That's one of the things that Mason that's one of

0:06:51.839 --> 0:06:54.960
<v Speaker 5>his strengths. You know, he's got the ability to avoid

0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.560
<v Speaker 5>the negative play when it comes to sacks. He gets

0:06:57.600 --> 0:06:59.000
<v Speaker 5>the ball out, he gets you know's where to go

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.560
<v Speaker 5>with it quickly. He's not taken many sacks this year

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 5>and it just you know, when you look at what

0:07:04.200 --> 0:07:06.320
<v Speaker 5>sacks do to drives, you know, over the course of

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:09.080
<v Speaker 5>a season and the scoring percentages, when you take a

0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:12.000
<v Speaker 5>sack and a drive, it really does have an impact.

0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.800
<v Speaker 5>And that's one of the things that he does well.

0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:15.600
<v Speaker 5>It's one of the strengths is he finds completions and

0:07:15.640 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 5>he doesn't take sacks, so that does help us stay

0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:19.400
<v Speaker 5>on schedule.

0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Certainly, Mason rudolphs gonna be the starter in this game

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>versus the Jags. Will Levis was a starter last time

0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>and he struggled making decisions, so I think if they

0:07:28.200 --> 0:07:29.840
<v Speaker 1>have a chance at this one, it's definitely gonna be

0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:30.600
<v Speaker 1>with Mason Rudolf.

0:07:30.680 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>Listen, the hard part for the Jaguars is that the

0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:38.240
<v Speaker 2>secondary has made mistakes against every quarterback. Will Levis couldn't

0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 2>take advantage of it. Mason Rudolph will Now, Rudolph wasn't

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.080
<v Speaker 2>really good last week. You know, he had those two

0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>touchdown passes and he led them back against the Colts,

0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:48.240
<v Speaker 2>but he also had three interceptions. So I mean, we're

0:07:48.280 --> 0:07:51.440
<v Speaker 2>not talking about Ben Roethlisberger here, We're not talking about Joe.

0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:52.760
<v Speaker 3>Burrow or any elite quarterback.

0:07:53.240 --> 0:07:56.400
<v Speaker 2>But this secondary has made a lot of average quarterbacks

0:07:56.440 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 2>Aidan O'Connell look much better than they are because is

0:08:00.160 --> 0:08:02.680
<v Speaker 2>their inability john to just do their assignments.

0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:06.760
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, and you figure that when you're playing a backup quarterback,

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 4>and this has been true against Mac, that it's an

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:12.880
<v Speaker 4>opportunity for interceptions. Even if you give up some plays,

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:15.560
<v Speaker 4>you would think we we're gonna get some plays where

0:08:15.560 --> 0:08:16.280
<v Speaker 4>you get some picks.

0:08:16.680 --> 0:08:18.080
<v Speaker 3>The defense has seven takeaways.

0:08:18.320 --> 0:08:21.640
<v Speaker 4>I mean, that's an absurd number to have at this

0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 4>point in the season, So you figure, can they get

0:08:26.160 --> 0:08:28.640
<v Speaker 4>advantage on the young quarterback, which is what you want.

0:08:29.480 --> 0:08:32.559
<v Speaker 2>I don't know what's absurd is they have those takeaways

0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 2>right The last one was against the Vikings. They had

0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:37.080
<v Speaker 2>three in that game, so they had nothing up until

0:08:37.120 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 2>that point. It was an abundance that we thought, well,

0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 2>maybe the whole turnovers coming bunches.

0:08:40.800 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 3>To five games.

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.959
<v Speaker 4>Since, yeah, you almost have to try not to get

0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:45.040
<v Speaker 4>a turnover in five games.

0:08:45.679 --> 0:08:50.400
<v Speaker 2>By the way, the Chiefs have six straight games without

0:08:50.440 --> 0:08:51.480
<v Speaker 2>committing a turnover.

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:55.480
<v Speaker 3>So just to give you, I guess that's what I'm trying.

0:08:55.360 --> 0:08:58.960
<v Speaker 2>To point out, is is that good teams don't have turnovers.

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.600
<v Speaker 3>Bad teams don't get turnovers very well.

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure you thinking to be said.

0:09:05.080 --> 0:09:07.040
<v Speaker 1>Let's talk a little bit about last time they played.

0:09:07.040 --> 0:09:09.040
<v Speaker 1>We talked will Ebison's gonna be out on the field.

0:09:09.040 --> 0:09:11.280
<v Speaker 1>A lot of will Eps's issues were in the red

0:09:11.360 --> 0:09:13.680
<v Speaker 1>zone and that was a problem for them. Mason Rudolph

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:16.160
<v Speaker 1>talked about converting in the red zone and what it's

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 1>going to take for them to score.

0:09:18.000 --> 0:09:20.920
<v Speaker 6>You know, there's there is some good there. That's that's

0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 6>some improvement. And you know, I think you know, the

0:09:25.640 --> 0:09:29.200
<v Speaker 6>off schedule plays. We look at the the cut up

0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.480
<v Speaker 6>of red zone touchdowns each week as as a cute

0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.080
<v Speaker 6>quarterback room and I mean i'd say ninety percent or

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 6>you know, off schedule and and and scrambled drill type situation.

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.200
<v Speaker 6>So we've Bohart agrees, done a good job, you know,

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.360
<v Speaker 6>drilling us at that stuff and trying to simulate as

0:09:43.400 --> 0:09:45.800
<v Speaker 6>much as you can in practice.

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.040
<v Speaker 1>The Titans have had trouble scoring in the red zone

0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>when they have, though, it's been a little bit of

0:09:49.520 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>that off schedule stuff, scrambled drill kind of throwing it

0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.240
<v Speaker 1>up to people. And that's concerning considering the Jaguars propensity

0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:58.280
<v Speaker 1>to give up a big play. And especially I'll give

0:09:58.320 --> 0:10:00.240
<v Speaker 1>credit where it's due, they did well the first they

0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:01.880
<v Speaker 1>play the Titans, but that's got to still be a

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:02.720
<v Speaker 1>concern this time around.

0:10:02.800 --> 0:10:05.520
<v Speaker 4>Right, they had huge stops last time against the Titans,

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:11.080
<v Speaker 4>and you know, if you recall, they missed scoring in

0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 4>the red zone twice. I think inside the ten twice. Otherwise,

0:10:14.440 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 4>that game's twenty to nothing when the Jaguars start their comeback,

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:20.559
<v Speaker 4>and there probably isn't a comeback. So yeah, I mean,

0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:23.240
<v Speaker 4>if you can hold teams scoreless when they get in

0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.560
<v Speaker 4>the red zone, you're got a good shot. You can't

0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.920
<v Speaker 4>depend on that. That to me is going to be

0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 4>the Titans key because I expected to move the ball.

0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:32.320
<v Speaker 4>If they can score in the red zone, I think

0:10:32.320 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 4>they win. And it was I don't think this week, Brian,

0:10:36.920 --> 0:10:39.400
<v Speaker 4>that they will go away from Tony Pollard as much

0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.920
<v Speaker 4>he's been their best player, and I don't think they'll

0:10:41.920 --> 0:10:42.480
<v Speaker 4>go away from.

0:10:42.320 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 3>It wasn't that opening drive. I thought, are the Jaguars

0:10:44.640 --> 0:10:45.840
<v Speaker 3>gonna be able to stop the run?

0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.000
<v Speaker 2>And then the Titans stopped running, which helped them.

0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 3>As far as I'm.

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:54.800
<v Speaker 2>Concerned, this is a game in which the Jaguars defensive

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 2>front has got to get to Mason Rudolph. And we've

0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.760
<v Speaker 2>said that all season long, just because the secondary hasn't

0:11:00.760 --> 0:11:03.520
<v Speaker 2>been very good. But jac Laitham, their rookie left tackle,

0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:05.560
<v Speaker 2>has given up thirteen sacks this year. That's the most

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 2>by any offensive tackle in football. It's been a rotation

0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:10.599
<v Speaker 2>at the right side, and they've had all kinds of

0:11:10.640 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>guys in and out of the lineup in the middle.

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:14.800
<v Speaker 2>In fact, their starting center is on injured reserve. So

0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I mean this should be a game that the Jaguars

0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>defensive line is able to make some hay and make

0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.520
<v Speaker 2>things happen. If it isn't, Mason Rudolph will pick them apart.

0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:26.000
<v Speaker 4>And I think we saw something last week that is

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 4>a sliver of positive for the future. Mason Smith got

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:37.880
<v Speaker 4>some pressure in the middle, which the Trayvon Walker and

0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.920
<v Speaker 4>Josh Allen haven't had amazing numbers this year. Pressure in

0:11:41.960 --> 0:11:44.439
<v Speaker 4>the middle would help those guys immeasurably.

0:11:44.800 --> 0:11:46.359
<v Speaker 3>Maybe they can start building.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:47.760
<v Speaker 5>On that would be nice.

0:11:47.800 --> 0:11:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I like that, it's a good plan.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:53.640
<v Speaker 2>Mason Smith showed us in training camp. He's big, strong,

0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:56.080
<v Speaker 2>he's long, He's a very difficult.

0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:56.440
<v Speaker 3>Guy to match up with.

0:11:57.240 --> 0:12:00.319
<v Speaker 2>He just he hasn't had to know the tech niques

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>of the position because in college and in high school

0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:04.440
<v Speaker 2>he was just so much bigger and stronger than everyone else.

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 2>And Doug Peterson talked a little bit about this earlier

0:12:06.360 --> 0:12:08.400
<v Speaker 2>in the week, saying it's a tough position for guys

0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 2>to learn to play well. It's a really important one

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:12.080
<v Speaker 2>for him to finish strong, because.

0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 3>Listen, this is as good an.

0:12:14.000 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>Area for the Jaguars to address in the draft next

0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:18.480
<v Speaker 2>year as any as the middle of that line.

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:19.800

<v Speaker 1>be on Monday morning after this heavyweight bout of the

0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Titans and Jaguars seventeen sixteen seventy.

0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:01.880
<v Speaker 4>Seventeen.

0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 3>Want to go, let's do it.

0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 2>I'll go with twice as nice and you could say, well,

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 2>they beat the Titans twice, which would be the case, but.

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:15.000
<v Speaker 3>They've only won at home once this year.

0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Really important to give the home crowd a reason to

0:13:19.240 --> 0:13:21.520
<v Speaker 2>come back winning certainly does that?

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:24.520
<v Speaker 3>So listen, I get it.

0:13:24.720 --> 0:13:27.600
<v Speaker 2>You're probably playing without Walker Little, You're starting left tackle.

0:13:27.640 --> 0:13:29.120
<v Speaker 3>That doesn't help you against arden Key.

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:33.840
<v Speaker 2>You were very good last week against Aiden O'Connell, so

0:13:34.000 --> 0:13:35.439
<v Speaker 2>you know, how are you gonna be better against Mason

0:13:35.480 --> 0:13:37.959
<v Speaker 2>Rudolpho thinks a better quarterback. But I just think the

0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 2>Jaguars get it done in their season finale at home,

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 2>and the guy right here has another big day. He said,

0:13:43.840 --> 0:13:46.200
<v Speaker 2>back to back one hundred yard games, maybe he can

0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:47.920
<v Speaker 2>make it three in a row.

0:13:48.280 --> 0:13:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Yeah.

0:13:48.880 --> 0:13:53.000
<v Speaker 4>I went with sweep with a lot of exclamation points

0:13:53.040 --> 0:13:56.760
<v Speaker 4>because and my picture was Mac Daddy.

0:13:57.160 --> 0:13:58.360
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, Mac Jones.

0:13:58.760 --> 0:14:03.559
<v Speaker 4>Look, there's not gonna be a whole lot to salvage

0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 4>this season, and Mac as a starter will not finished

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 4>with a winning record.

0:14:10.120 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 3>But he's a Jacksonville kid.

0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:18.200
<v Speaker 4>I sort of picture Max's guys in the stands who

0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:20.520
<v Speaker 4>grew up with and watching the Jags.

0:14:21.240 --> 0:14:24.200
<v Speaker 3>Having a couple of beers and going yeah with.

0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:28.480
<v Speaker 4>An expletive about the Titans, high five in each other.

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:32.640
<v Speaker 4>Our boy led him to it a moment. I'm not

0:14:32.680 --> 0:14:34.400
<v Speaker 4>saying that's everything. I'm gon say it makes it a

0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 4>successful season, but I think Mac would enjoy beating the Titans.

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.880
<v Speaker 4>He's a Jacksonville kid. He sort of knows the history

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.000
<v Speaker 4>of it. It'd be cool for him if he got

0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:44.880
<v Speaker 4>to win at home against this team.

0:14:45.040 --> 0:14:47.440
<v Speaker 2>I love it because I like beating the Titans and

0:14:47.520 --> 0:14:50.520
<v Speaker 2>so and I like Mac. So if Mac beats the Titans,

0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 2>I like it even more twice as much.

0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:54.160
<v Speaker 1>What the holidays are all about, I'm going to be

0:14:54.160 --> 0:14:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a grinch here and go negative. Unfortunately, I think we're

0:14:57.920 --> 0:14:59.880
<v Speaker 1>it off lenk Away. We got a little holiday punch

0:15:00.160 --> 0:15:03.440
<v Speaker 1>well here. I just think that they would have lost

0:15:03.440 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>that game against the Titans a couple of weeks ago

0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:09.440
<v Speaker 1>if will Levis was capable of making some better decisions.

0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:12.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think Rudolph is a smarter quarterback and we'll

0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:15.000
<v Speaker 1>be able to make those decisions. And while he turns

0:15:15.000 --> 0:15:17.440
<v Speaker 1>the ball over, we don't seem to catch those, you know,

0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:20.320
<v Speaker 1>interceptions that are thrown around by other quarterbacks. So I

0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>think that will kind of be the downfall. If they

0:15:22.200 --> 0:15:25.120
<v Speaker 1>can force some turnovers from Rudolpha and take advantage of

0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.320
<v Speaker 1>those turnovers and get points off of them, I think

0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.400
<v Speaker 1>the Jaguars can win, But unfortunately I don't see that

0:15:29.480 --> 0:15:31.800
<v Speaker 1>right now. And hopefully this is a jinx. The reverse

0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:32.600
<v Speaker 1>drinks that I've been doing.

0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:34.840
<v Speaker 2>We'll work for them and they will win, isn't There's

0:15:34.840 --> 0:15:37.080
<v Speaker 2>so many holiday puns that we could put in there.

0:15:37.440 --> 0:15:40.400
<v Speaker 1>There is Rudolph leave it alone, so many it's too

0:15:40.440 --> 0:15:40.920
<v Speaker 1>many to do.

0:15:41.440 --> 0:15:41.760
<v Speaker 3>Stay with this.

0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:43.200

0:16:23.920 --> 0:16:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Hey, Hey, Josh hain Z Allen best hype man in

0:16:29.720 --> 0:16:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the game, getting Mason Smith and Miles Cole hyped up.

0:16:32.200 --> 0:16:33.560
<v Speaker 1>Nice to see the young guys out there. We talked

0:16:33.560 --> 0:16:34.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot about it. Hopefully we see more of them

0:16:35.000 --> 0:16:35.600
<v Speaker 1>this week as well.

0:16:35.680 --> 0:16:37.520
<v Speaker 2>You know, we talk a lot about Mason Smith and

0:16:37.560 --> 0:16:39.680
<v Speaker 2>his importance to the build of the Jaguars because he's

0:16:39.680 --> 0:16:41.880
<v Speaker 2>a second round pick and those guys are expected the starters.

0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:43.760
<v Speaker 2>But Miles Cole is a guy they brought in sort

0:16:43.760 --> 0:16:46.160
<v Speaker 2>of a flyer at the end of the draft, and

0:16:46.200 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 2>it's good to see him get out there and make

0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:49.200
<v Speaker 2>a couple of plays. Jeff Logan was talking about it

0:16:49.240 --> 0:16:51.520
<v Speaker 2>earlier in the week. H some good, some bad, but

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:53.840
<v Speaker 2>enough that you think there's something you can work with.

0:16:54.120 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 2>You gotta have.

0:16:55.160 --> 0:16:58.080
<v Speaker 4>I think about the difference, if you really feel like

0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:03.080
<v Speaker 4>Mason Smith can be guy, how much different your line

0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:05.960
<v Speaker 4>looks going into next year than if you're worried about it.

0:17:06.320 --> 0:17:10.520
<v Speaker 4>It's it's it's a mammoth difference. So I think these

0:17:10.560 --> 0:17:12.600
<v Speaker 4>next two games in that sense are really important for

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:13.119
<v Speaker 4>a guy like that.

0:17:13.280 --> 0:17:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Well, we'll see affects a lot of.

0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:18.520
<v Speaker 1>The decision making, that's for sure. Of course, we hope

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:20.080
<v Speaker 1>you enjoy the game this weekend. If you want to

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.480

0:17:22.520 --> 0:17:24.320
<v Speaker 1>so enjoy that as well, and if not, we'll be

0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:25.800
