1
00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:19,239
Speaker 1: Welcome into jag Zam this morning. Kunti Stephens, Brian Sexiston,

2
00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: John Osier with you today and for the first time

3
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: in about two months, we don't have a victory Monday

4
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:26,320
Speaker 1: to discuss. The Jaguars bow out in the wildcard round

5
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills, a frustrating loss and a sad

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: end to the season and the last we're gonna go

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 1: over everything that went down this year, and we'll go

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: over everything that went down on Sunday. We'll bring you

9
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: our Big Things today, brought to you by GEAJ Government

10
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:41,440
Speaker 1: Employees Health Association. Big Thing number one of the first

11
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 1: round to exit. The Jaguars were able to win the

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:46,120
Speaker 1: AC South Crown and host a playoff game here, but

13
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:48,519
Speaker 1: they weren't able to come away with a win, and

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: Trevor talked about a missed opportunity.

15
00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:52,320
Speaker 2: It's hard to get here.

16
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:54,360
Speaker 3: It's hard to win as many games as we did

17
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 3: and win the division and then have this opportunity. And

18
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: like I said, for you know, it's it's still fresh

19
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 3: losing that game today. And like I said, you know,

20
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,520
Speaker 3: we feel like, you know, we can beat anyone on

21
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 3: any day, and felt like that today in Buffalo, Like

22
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:11,040
Speaker 3: I said, made a few more plays, so that's still

23
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 3: fresh and not even really thinking about next year. I

24
00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: have so much confidence in this group and the staff

25
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,240
Speaker 3: in the direction we're heading, but that doesn't make you

26
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:21,800
Speaker 3: feel better about the season ending the day when we

27
00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: know we feel like there was more out there for us.

28
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,119
Speaker 3: So it's still really really disappointing. And you know, guys

29
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 3: care a lot about it, and that's why we're all

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:29,839
Speaker 3: feeling this way.

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 1: Brian, a lot of promising things. I think we all

32
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 1: feel the foundation has been laid, but the playoffs are

33
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,399
Speaker 1: not promised, and we don't know what it'll look like

34
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: next season.

35
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: No, and you know, jag Wars just got back here

36
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: for the first time since twenty twenty two, before that,

37
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: twenty seventeen, before that two thousand and seven. I think

38
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 2: that this will be a much more sustainable formula going forward,

39
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,760
Speaker 2: based on my confidence in Tony Biselli, James Gladstone, and

40
00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: Liam Cohen, and then of course what they were able

41
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 2: to do to reignite Trevor Lawrence's career this year. So

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 2: remorseful John for the opportunity lost, but I have a

43
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,720
Speaker 2: hard time feeling really low about the fact that the

44
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 2: season's over because they gave so much this year. They

45
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:11,519
Speaker 2: exceeded expectations.

46
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's one of those you don't want to see end.

47
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: If you pull back and look at it from somebody

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 4: who's like followed the league and figured out what this

49
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 4: might mean, the foundation is definitely laid and I think

50
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 4: you're gonna have a lot of success moving forward. I

51
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:28,959
Speaker 4: think Trevor Lawrence is going to continue to ascend into

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 4: elite status.

53
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 2: But it sucks.

54
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 4: I mean this feeling in your gut, you're sick to

55
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,960
Speaker 4: your stomach. And it has been so fun to follow

56
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:43,799
Speaker 4: this team from people who cover it, from people who

57
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,120
Speaker 4: follow it, because they're so likable and they could tell

58
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:49,639
Speaker 4: the team was having fun. These are one of those

59
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:52,840
Speaker 4: seasons that it's why you're a fan. And when the

60
00:02:53,000 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 4: season ends, it ban fast and through the very empty feeling.

61
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 4: It's a sad day.

62
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,600
Speaker 2: If there's anything that sucks, it's the fact that the

63
00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:08,639
Speaker 2: city was so amazingly energized behind this team last week.

64
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: It didn't matter where you went, the dog parked, the beach, public's,

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 2: the car wash. Everyone wanted to talk about what this

66
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: team was and every school had their kids on Friday

67
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 2: in Jaguar's Spirit mode, all wearing teal black and gold,

68
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,240
Speaker 2: and that energy. Well, you saw it in the building yesterday.

69
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 2: I mean it was just as good as it's ever been.

70
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: And that's the part that really sucks that there isn't

71
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: another week of that.

72
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:31,920
Speaker 1: Yep, frustrating and for sure we're going to go to

73
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: our second big thing, which is a step above, no

74
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:37,360
Speaker 1: doubt about it. We knew Josh Allen could put on

75
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:40,040
Speaker 1: his cape and play Superman, and he's a talent that

76
00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:42,080
Speaker 1: we have seen throughout the league and we definitely saw

77
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 1: it on display yesterday. Liam Cohne talked a little bit

78
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,880
Speaker 1: about it.

79
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 5: Such a competitor, you know. The balls, Yeah, he was

80
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 5: spitting it out pretty good obviously, you know, scrambled enough times,

81
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 5: but he just kind of drifting away knowing he's going

82
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 5: to get hit making a play. I thought he threw

83
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 5: obviously extremely accurately as well. And they just made some

84
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 5: plays in the past game specifically. I don't know what

85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 5: the run stats were, what we held them to or

86
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 5: anything like that, but you know, he definitely carried them.

87
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: John Josh Allen in and out of the medical ten,

88
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 1: still finding ways to score the football and no mistakes,

89
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 1: which I think was key in a playoff game.

90
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, we overused the phrase carry a team for a quarterback.

91
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 6: Everybody used it, Oh can he do this? Can you

92
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:33,720
Speaker 6: do that?

93
00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 4: Josh Allen's one of the few guys who can. He

94
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 4: carried the Bills yesterday. If you were a Bills fan,

95
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:43,600
Speaker 4: if you're a Josh Allen fan, that's a legacy game,

96
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 4: meaning he picked him up. He brought them from behind

97
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 4: twice in the fourth quarter. He made his plays. They

98
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:50,919
Speaker 4: won on the road. You know, got the cameras on

99
00:04:50,960 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 4: and coming off the field, he's limping, he's doing all that.

100
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: He's an unbelievable player and he was the difference on Sunday, Brian.

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,440
Speaker 2: The only chance the Jaguars had to win that ball

102
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 2: game was to stopped the run, and man did they.

103
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,679
Speaker 2: I mean they shut down that entire number one ranked

104
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 2: rushing offense. There was no significant runs outside of the

105
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,839
Speaker 2: fourth down conversion by Josh Allen that set up the

106
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,440
Speaker 2: go ahead touchdown that eventually won the game. They took

107
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 2: it away completely. And so what does a great quarterback

108
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 2: do completes twenty eight to thirty five passes. You know,

109
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:23,480
Speaker 2: the big thirty six yard are down the field and

110
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: the broken coverage that Brandon Cooks was able to pull in.

111
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:28,440
Speaker 2: You took one thing away, he said, I'll do this.

112
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:33,039
Speaker 2: Then that's what great players, Hall of Fame players, MVPs

113
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,719
Speaker 2: do in playoff games.

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: Absolutely, let's took our final big thing today, which is

115
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 1: what's next. The season is over, but we're looking ahead

116
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: and what this team might look like going forward. Josh

117
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: heinz Allen reflected on the season and what he's expecting

118
00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: going forward.

119
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,599
Speaker 7: Again, this was the one of the first times where

120
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 7: I felt surrounded by guys that wanted to be great,

121
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:55,560
Speaker 7: guys that sacrificed them body, Guys that wanted greatness from

122
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 7: their teammates and told them about it and sacrificed themselves

123
00:05:58,480 --> 00:06:00,440
Speaker 7: about it. And so for me, it was a lot

124
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 7: of fun to be around a lot of that. Obviously,

125
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 7: the team's gonna be a little different, but again, like

126
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,960
Speaker 7: you know, you do come back, or if you do

127
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 7: come back, man, just let's continue that. Let's not forget

128
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,559
Speaker 7: this moment, continue to grow from here. We just played

129
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,960
Speaker 7: a good team, So shout out to them. They earned

130
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 7: it and hopefully you know, they do what they do.

131
00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: Brian, we saw the buy in since Liam Cohen has

132
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: gotten here, how do you continue that moving forward?

133
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 2: You know, to Josh's point and to your question, there

134
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 2: was a moment in the practice field this week this year, John,

135
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,360
Speaker 2: where I saw Eric Armstead walk out with a club

136
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,839
Speaker 2: on his hand, and Trayvon Walker walk out with a

137
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 2: huge brace on his wrist and the brace on his knee,

138
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,599
Speaker 2: and Danny Strigg out with the brace on his knee.

139
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: When Josh talks about guys sacrificing, that's what he's talking about.

140
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: They were willing to do whatever it took for them

141
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,640
Speaker 2: to be on the field to help their teammates. That's

142
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,600
Speaker 2: really the standard that was set this year. The culture

143
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 2: that was developed. There are tangible signs of it. There's

144
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 2: some big decisions that have to be made, obviously, Traves

145
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 2: Etn Devin Lloyd, there are some other guys on the

146
00:07:07,720 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 2: roster that maybe were not considering that. The Jaguars will

147
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 2: look at their salary cap figure and their contract and

148
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 2: figure it out. But the path that's set. Leam Cohen

149
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 2: set the standard, James Gladstone, Tony Biselli, the three of

150
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 2: them set the standard, and then the Jaguars went improved

151
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 2: it week in and week out. This year. I think

152
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: what's next is now fine tuning the roster to get

153
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 2: the team that they really want together for twenty twenty six.

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:33,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think the key is they're not going

155
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 4: to look at this and say, Okay, we were thirteen

156
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 4: and four. All we've got to do is it is

157
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 4: just maintained. We'll get back to Every player said it.

158
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 4: It's the reality. Once this is over, you have to

159
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,560
Speaker 4: get back to the bottom and call your way back

160
00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 4: to the top again every year. I do think they'll

161
00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 4: have that mentality. The biggest thing is, look, I don't

162
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 4: think Sunday was Trevor's best game of the season. He

163
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:02,120
Speaker 4: played well, brought he brought him back to But I

164
00:08:02,120 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 4: don't think there's any question if you're watching this team

165
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 4: that you have a quarterback that you can win with.

166
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 4: You have a quarterback that you would not be surprised

167
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 4: if he's in the postseason every year moving forward. As

168
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:15,520
Speaker 4: long as he's around, the window.

169
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:15,720
Speaker 2: Will be open.

170
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 1: Says here on Jagsam. Coming up after the break, we're

171
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,000

175
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 6: Regret not taking the points of field going not at all.

176
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 5: Not at all. I mean it's not even a close decision.

177
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 5: It was all go for it on all the metrics,

178
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:55,520
Speaker 5: and you know, with where you're at down there, that low,

179
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,960
Speaker 5: you gotta go for it. I mean fourth down that low,

180
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 5: you're at least feel like you're going to have an

181
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 5: opportunity to stop them and have a field position change

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,439
Speaker 5: and at the very worst you get the ball back

183
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:11,439
Speaker 5: with good field position and didn't end up working out.

184
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: And Coach William going sticking to his guns Monday morning.

185
00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 1: So we're gonna obviously Monday morning quarterback as if we

186
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: know better, but we are going to look at some

187
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,440
Speaker 1: of the tape from yesterday and go over some things

188
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: that went right and some things that went wrong. Early

189
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 1: on Trevor through an interception which we haven't seen a

190
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 1: ton of him as a recent so for me and

191
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: immediately gets a concern. But I wasn't feeling great after

192
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:35,720
Speaker 1: I saw.

193
00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 6: This go down.

194
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 2: Brent Well, we'd heard all week about Sean McDermott's defense

195
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,960
Speaker 2: and they have a unique way of replacing safeties and linebackers,

196
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 2: and they're very good at getting the matchups that they want.

197
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 2: And Trevor told us in the post game listen, he

198
00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,760
Speaker 2: just he was a little bit late on the throat

199
00:09:48,760 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 2: and that allowed the linebacker to get over there and

200
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 2: get it. And it felt like it was going to

201
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: be a different kind of game than we had seen

202
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 2: from Trevor in recent weeks.

203
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, they got him on that one, but really the

204
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,480
Speaker 4: Jags stopped him. It was three to nothing after that

205
00:10:01,360 --> 00:10:05,160
Speaker 4: by the early second quarter. That play didn't feel like

206
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 4: I had I had in my key plays for example,

207
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 4: but it was like eight. I mean it was It

208
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:14,200
Speaker 4: didn't feel it changed anything, And I thought, again, I

209
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 4: think that was Trevor's best game. But moving forward, it

210
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 4: didn't feel like that made him gun shy. It didn't

211
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 4: feel like that had much of an effect.

212
00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 6: In the NFL.

213
00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 4: You're gonna throw thirteen or fourteen interceptions in a year.

214
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 4: That felt to me like, Okay, it was bad, but

215
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 4: he recovered from that.

216
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and especially in the fourth quarter. I mean he

217
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:36,319
Speaker 2: was still gunning the ball over the middle of the

218
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 2: fourth quarter, So that's didn't it just it seemed like

219
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 2: at that moment, Okay, the Bills have something. They've been

220
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 2: watching this and their defense is going to be ready

221
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 2: for him, and it didn't shy. He didn't shy away

222
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: from attacking.

223
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the sequence that led into

224
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: the first touchdown that BTJ scored, because Bachiel Touton had

225
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: about three runs there, back to back to back where

226
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,480
Speaker 1: it was kind of blowing things wide open. I'm sure

227
00:10:57,480 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: that was schemed up specifically by Liam, but John like

228
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:01,520
Speaker 1: away from the run a little bit later. Do you

229
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: think that was by design or did the defense kind

230
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: of dictate that.

231
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 4: I haven't talked to Liam or anybody to, you know,

232
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 4: find out exactly why. My sense is everybody says, well,

233
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:16,560
Speaker 4: when you run, stick with the run. They do most

234
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 4: of their calling at the line of scrimmage. So I'm

235
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:23,679
Speaker 4: assuming that when they went to the line when they

236
00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 4: ran these plays, they had looks that said get to

237
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 4: these plays. When they didn't, I'm assuming that the Bills

238
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,280
Speaker 4: were showing a look that said to get to a

239
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 4: different play. The NFL these days, with the running game,

240
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 4: most teams it's not I'm going to turn around and

241
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 4: hand the ball off no matter what you're running, I'm

242
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: going to slam it down your throat. I could accept

243
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,800
Speaker 4: the criticism getting away from the run, except that they

244
00:11:47,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 4: scored seventeen points on.

245
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,560
Speaker 6: Three of their last four possessions. I didn't feel like it.

246
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 4: Was hamstringing their offense not to be running, Although I

247
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 4: would have loved to see more runs.

248
00:11:58,920 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 2: I don't know.

249
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,680
Speaker 4: It'd be interesting to seay if anybody finds out were

250
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 4: the looks there and them just not getting to them.

251
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: I doubt that the rand for one hundred and fifty

252
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:09,120
Speaker 2: four yards, right, I mean, they did run the ball

253
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:11,880
Speaker 2: successfully yesterday. I think part of it, John was is

254
00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 2: we got to the first possession of the third quarter

255
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: and half the quarter was gone. That opening drive by

256
00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: the Bills ate up, you know, seven and a half

257
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 2: minutes and all of a sudden, now you're starting to

258
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: feel like time is going to be of the essence

259
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 2: and you want to make the most of your opportunities.

260
00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 2: And let's be honest with you, put the ball in

261
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 2: the hands of the guy who got you there. I mean,

262
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,880
Speaker 2: Trevor was so good all season long, and he delivered

263
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 2: field goal, touchdown, touchdown. He gave you the lead with

264
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 2: four minutes left, to play, and so I don't I

265
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 2: get it, everybody. It's easy to Monday morn a quarterback

266
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: and say they should have run the ball more. They

267
00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 2: ran for one fifty four and they had the lead

268
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 2: with four minutes left to play. I'm not sure that's

269
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 2: entirely correct.

270
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, And one thing to remember, even when Trevor wasn't

271
00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 4: playing physically, meaning stats wise, at a super high level

272
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 4: this year, everything you heard is that he was getting

273
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 4: them in and out of the right places at a

274
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 4: high level.

275
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 6: He was seeing it correctly.

276
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,040
Speaker 4: I'm going to assume he was singing it correctly yesterday

277
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 4: and again that the reason they didn't go to the

278
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 4: run more was because the looks were saying to go elsewhere.

279
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: And if you go to the run too much, then

280
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 4: that superpower goes away, if you follow me. So I

281
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 4: didn't think at the end, when you score that much

282
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 4: in the second half, I didn't think that costs in

283
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 4: the game.

284
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did not do a delicate balance. Let's jump

285
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: ahead to that failed fourth down that we talked about early.

286
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: We heard Liam addressing we know Liam likes to be aggressive,

287
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: he likes to do this quite frequently, that this was

288
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 1: something that the spot that got overturned. They did the

289
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:47,600
Speaker 1: virtual measurement as a whole, about a five minute affair

290
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:49,320
Speaker 1: before they figured out what was going on exactly, but

291
00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: they ended up failing on fourth down and turning the

292
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,200
Speaker 1: ball over and you're deep in the red zone. Pete

293
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: Prisco always says, got to take the points right.

294
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 6: Look, HET's older than I am, and.

295
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: I know you love to say the points too, but

296
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: this is not.

297
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,719
Speaker 4: Not That's not how this team's going to do it philosophically.

298
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,640
Speaker 6: The analytics, which everybody you know, I answer.

299
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: Suation onced last night it was it was chaos over

300
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:15,600
Speaker 4: this in theozone.

301
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 6: Obviously it's keep playing the game, so it should be.

302
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 4: The decision making is based on if we don't get it,

303
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: they're at the six. So if you don't get it,

304
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 4: you stop them, they punt and.

305
00:14:31,200 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 6: You're going in again. That's what it's based on.

306
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 4: That over over time, you will benefit more than you

307
00:14:37,480 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 4: are hurt if you don't get it. Look, if you

308
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:47,960
Speaker 4: don't like that approach, don't watch this team, because they're

309
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 4: going to do it.

310
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 2: So I felt like they should have kicked it because

311
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 2: it felt like the playoffs and points are at a

312
00:14:54,680 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 2: premium against a team that you know is going to score.

313
00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 2: That's Monday morning Quarterback twenty twenty, hind sight, whatever you

314
00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: want to say. I felt like, as a guy, you know,

315
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 2: thirty two years into my career, here, I'm old school.

316
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 2: I take the points. Last night, if you watched the

317
00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 2: Chargers Patriots again, you saw the exact same scenario. You

318
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 2: have a fourth and goal for the Chargers going in,

319
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:18,360
Speaker 2: and I thought, well, this would be interesting because Jim

320
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 2: Harbaugh decides to do the exact same thing that Liam does.

321
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: They come away with no points. Now the Patriots go

322
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 2: back the other way ninety eight yards and they scored

323
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 2: the touchdown. So it didn't work for either team, the

324
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,960
Speaker 2: Jaguars or the Chargers last night. You say they're gonna

325
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 2: keep going. I don't doubt you, because Liam Cohen is

326
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 2: going to be an aggressive guy in that scenario. I

327
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,520
Speaker 2: do think it's worth pointing out that in the playoffs,

328
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: where points are at a premium, you take points.

329
00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, both teams would tell you that they would do

330
00:15:44,520 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 4: it again. Yep, because they would both tell you at

331
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,320
Speaker 4: that point the defense has to support the offense not

332
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:53,120
Speaker 4: getting it, get the ball back and go score again.

333
00:15:53,280 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 2: And that's what it's based on every one did so.

334
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:58,600
Speaker 1: I think there's arguments for both side, but I certainly

335
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 1: was not surprised that they did it, because this is

336
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 1: something we've seen from Lima and he's shown this time.

337
00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 2: If you kick the field goal at the end of

338
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 2: the first half, by the way, if you make the

339
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 2: fifty two to fifty four yard field goal at the

340
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 2: end of the half, and that's a moot point. He's

341
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 2: also talked before.

342
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 4: They believe philosophically, when the ball is in our offense's

343
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: hand and we have a chance to go for the

344
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 4: kill shot, we're going to do it. And to them

345
00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 4: chance to go up fourteen to three, that not a

346
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 4: kill shot, but double digit leading the playoffs. That's the

347
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 4: aggressiveness that they're going to play with.

348
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 2: Well I understand. I mean, I've listened to him enough

349
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: this year to know I wasn't surprised at all he

350
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 2: did it. It was just that old guy in the

351
00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 2: back of my head, that's a man coach points through the.

352
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 1: Premium here, I'm let's talk a little bit about that

353
00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,440
Speaker 1: miss field goal because we get so confident in cam

354
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:45,080
Speaker 1: sometimes you remember that these fifty plus yarders are not

355
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 1: chip shots, even though we joke about it little Windy

356
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,960
Speaker 1: yesterday and he just he pulled it, and I it's

357
00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,240
Speaker 1: tough when he goes out there and they all in

358
00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: the back and forth to try to get to that

359
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 1: point too. With the catch with Parker and getting up

360
00:16:57,360 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: there and spiking the ball and getting one second left

361
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:01,840
Speaker 1: on the clock, and for to lead up to a

362
00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:04,400
Speaker 1: missed field goal fell a little deflating heading into halftime,

363
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:05,480
Speaker 1: there was deflating.

364
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 4: I mean, it's.

365
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 6: They left.

366
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 4: I has even called missing at fifty four yard field

367
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 4: goal leaving points in the field that you do expect

368
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 4: him to make it because he's hit so often.

369
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:19,160
Speaker 6: It was a big momentum turn.

370
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,760
Speaker 4: If he hits that, the game at the end is

371
00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 4: different if they kick a field goal early, if if

372
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 4: if they came.

373
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 6: Back, they got the lead after this. So look, he's

374
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:30,359
Speaker 6: too good.

375
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,120
Speaker 4: Nobody in that locker room would tell you that it's

376
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 4: it's Cam's fault for missing from fifty four to fifty

377
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,320
Speaker 4: four is always going to be hard, no matter how

378
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:38,080
Speaker 4: power for your leg is.

379
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,080
Speaker 2: This guy's going to play fifteen years in the NFL.

380
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:43,959
Speaker 2: I mean, Kim Little is a young man who has

381
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 2: a huge, long career in front of him, He's going

382
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 2: to make more kisses, kick kiss It's going to make

383
00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 2: more kicks than he misses. Easy for me to say,

384
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 2: if you go back to the Vegas game, the sixty

385
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 2: eight yard which is the NFL record, that was a

386
00:17:58,080 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 2: huge lift for this football. They didn't need the lift

387
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 2: at the end of the Titans game, but it was.

388
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 2: I mean, they were kicking their butt, but that was

389
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,480
Speaker 2: a great kick and it really provided a lot of energy.

390
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,200
Speaker 2: I assume it would have done the exact same thing.

391
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 1: But if some butts right, well it's a late game scoring.

392
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 1: I think it's of note to talk a little bit

393
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: about what we've seen from the offense because I feel

394
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:20,119
Speaker 1: like this was a good example. We got a big

395
00:18:20,160 --> 00:18:22,560
Speaker 1: catch out of BTJ, and then Parker Washington, who's been

396
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: an absolute safety blanket for Trevor Lawrence all year long

397
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 1: and just doing some crazy things. But to get some

398
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: big chunk plays out of Brian Thomas Junior, which has

399
00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 1: been a role he's kind of been able to fill

400
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,240
Speaker 1: the last couple of months once Travis Hunter went out.

401
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,720
Speaker 1: That was kind of the role that Brian Thomas Junior

402
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: has carved for himself in this offense. And then Parker

403
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:41,400
Speaker 1: Washington just always being where Trevor expects him to be

404
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: and coming up with that huge touchdown.

405
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 2: That was a great throw. I mean that goowl. Tony

406
00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 2: Romo talked about it on the broadcast. Was put in

407
00:18:47,720 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 2: the right spot and the fact that Parker was just

408
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,800
Speaker 2: ahead of the defensive back there. We've seen him do

409
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 2: this all season long. John, The relationship between Trevor Lawrence

410
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: and Parker Washington and is as good as he has

411
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 2: had with any receiver, whether we're talking about Christian Kirk

412
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: or Evan Ingram. It's as good as Trevor has had

413
00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 2: with any receiver in his professional career.

414
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 6: Parker's really good.

415
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 4: And now there was a play in the first half,

416
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:18,200
Speaker 4: and I forget the exact scenario, but where Trevor threw

417
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 4: and Parker came back like three yards for the ball

418
00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:24,639
Speaker 4: really helped the quarterback out probably gets defended if he

419
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 4: doesn't do that.

420
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:28,399
Speaker 2: He when wide.

421
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:33,120
Speaker 4: Receivers coaches coach a wide receiver, fundamentally, they coach him

422
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 4: to play like Parker Washington.

423
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 6: And well, we'll get to the other point later.

424
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 1: Let's look at the Buffalo's next touchdown, which was the

425
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 1: two tight ends kind of combining on that drive where

426
00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: they had a big chunk play over the middle, and

427
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: then obviously Adults Kinkaid comes down with a touchdown. And

428
00:19:50,560 --> 00:19:52,320
Speaker 1: that was my point of concern going into this game,

429
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: because I know tight ends can kind of get to

430
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: the Jags a little bit when they have some miscommunications

431
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: on the back end, and those were two guys that

432
00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 1: took advantage of it on that Sure, you.

433
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 4: Got to the point in the fourth quarter where both

434
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 4: teams knew what they.

435
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 6: Wanted to do offensively. You had two big.

436
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,840
Speaker 4: Time quarterbacks, two teams that were playing an extremely high level,

437
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 4: and they both offensively played like high end professional offenses

438
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 4: and got it done and time ran out.

439
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,280
Speaker 2: On the jet. If you go back to the throat

440
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:23,439
Speaker 2: that set up the touchdown there, Foya Luikan missed the

441
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:26,000
Speaker 2: tip by a fraction. I mean, you talk about a

442
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 2: game of inches, Trevor being just shortened the fourth down,

443
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:32,240
Speaker 2: Foyer just missing tipping that ball and not having a

444
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:35,439
Speaker 2: complete it's the little things, and I like you, I

445
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 2: looked at the fourth quarter and I saw that neither

446
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:42,320
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox nor Dalton Kincaid had had a big impact

447
00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,399
Speaker 2: through the first three quarters of the ball game. And

448
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:48,080
Speaker 2: then just I mean almost q bang bang hear these

449
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 2: guys come and they just do enough to get into

450
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:51,679
Speaker 2: the in.

451
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:52,960
Speaker 6: At crunch time.

452
00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,160
Speaker 4: You lean on your best and they lean on their best,

453
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 4: and again it was good.

454
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 1: We'll go to Atn's touchdown a well, because I feel

455
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:02,480
Speaker 1: like what gets lost in this because there's so much

456
00:21:02,480 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 1: scoring in the fourth quarter. The Jaguars took the lead

457
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: twice in the fourth quarter too. It's just when it's

458
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: bang bang bang, like we're talking about at this point,

459
00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 1: where it feels like offenses were making plays that they

460
00:21:12,119 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: knew what they wanted to do. When you're saying they

461
00:21:13,560 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: knew what they wanted to do at that point and

462
00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: they were making it happen. And Travis y Tan doing

463
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,560
Speaker 1: what he's done on the outside all year and kind

464
00:21:19,560 --> 00:21:21,120
Speaker 1: of get around the edge and find the end zone.

465
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 2: You know, I think we should point out also the

466
00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,200
Speaker 2: defense got their first three and out on Josh Allen

467
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 2: josh Heinz Allen sack of Josh Allen's in the fourth quarter,

468
00:21:30,520 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 2: which helped set up a touchdown, not this one, the

469
00:21:32,520 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 2: one before that. It was the first time they got

470
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 2: him out three and out And I remember writing down

471
00:21:37,160 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 2: in my notebook, huge momentum shit, and then of course

472
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: you know they go back down and score, and then

473
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 2: Trevor goes back down and score, and I remember writing

474
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 2: down this is really good football. I mean it was.

475
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 2: The playoff games had all been back and forth. This game,

476
00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: I think you guys have heard, this had four lead

477
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,560
Speaker 2: changes in the fourth quarter, which ties the NFL record

478
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 2: which was set on Saturday in the Panthers Rams game.

479
00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 2: From post lead changes in the fourth quarter in a

480
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 2: playoff game. It was really good football. As you just said,

481
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,199
Speaker 2: the clock just ran up on the track.

482
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 6: This was a classic.

483
00:22:09,160 --> 00:22:11,919
Speaker 4: And if the Jaguars had won it, you know there

484
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 4: would be some NFL All of these NFL films did

485
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 4: did greatest games. This was a great playoff game. Trevor

486
00:22:20,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 4: came up big on two guys, the whole offense did.

487
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 4: When two good teams play, one's going to win. And

488
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,640
Speaker 4: it doesn't mean the other sucks. It means a good

489
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 4: team for the games.

490
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: The Buffalo Bills go down and get there what ended

491
00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: up being the game winning touchdown. So miscommunications in the

492
00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:40,600
Speaker 1: secondary we saw at points I think they were talking

493
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,120
Speaker 1: about in the locker room post game. But unfortunate, big

494
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,440
Speaker 1: play to Cooks here to set them up pretty close,

495
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: and then after kind of going rushing a little bit

496
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:50,399
Speaker 1: and then they let them in and then they kind

497
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: of went kind of led a freeway, let.

498
00:22:52,119 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 6: Them in to score.

499
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:54,920
Speaker 1: So they get get the ball back at that point,

500
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: but it felt like they're doing okay. But then it

501
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,640
Speaker 1: would be I don't know if it's always miss communications

502
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: or just you know, going up against a good team,

503
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: but some of those big chunk plays really came back

504
00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: to fight the Jaguars depos.

505
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:10,440
Speaker 4: There's miscommunications in every secondary, every game at times that

506
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:15,800
Speaker 4: just don't Devin Lloyd had pressure. Josh Allen's throwing off

507
00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: of his back and he's superman and he flicks it

508
00:23:21,160 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 4: and he places that pass. Most other quarterbacks in the NFL,

509
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 4: that ball's ten yards short.

510
00:23:25,880 --> 00:23:28,159
Speaker 2: I saw Brady but Brandon Cooks on the on the

511
00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 2: field pregame and I said, I hope he's an old man.

512
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 2: I mean, he's been around forever a longtime. Jaguars fans

513
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 2: will remember how well he performed against this team when

514
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: he was in Houston, and I thought, that guy scares me.

515
00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 2: And of course it was him that came down with

516
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:42,439
Speaker 2: that ball. And as you said, there aren't a lot

517
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 2: of quarterbacks that can put that ball on the spot.

518
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 2: If it's just hung up a little bit more, then

519
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 2: perhaps Antonio Johnson or Newsom can get underneath it and

520
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 2: tip it or intercept it.

521
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:57,000
Speaker 4: But Superman, you can't coach this way. But when the

522
00:23:57,040 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 4: ball is in the air and I saw Cooks, I said,

523
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 4: let him score, because you hoped the way it was

524
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 4: going to me. If the Jags get it back with

525
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 4: about two minutes left, who had the ball to twenty.

526
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 4: I thought they were going to go down at least

527
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 4: get a field goal. The one minute put a little

528
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:17,479
Speaker 4: more pressure. But in the spur of the moment, you

529
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 4: cannot tell the defensive back, Hey, if he catches on

530
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 4: the twenty, let him score. It's countered everything football players

531
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:25,440
Speaker 4: are about. So I get it, but I kind of

532
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: hoped he'd missed the tackle.

533
00:24:27,200 --> 00:24:29,720
Speaker 1: Ends on this hour note obviously, Travis, excuse me. Trevor

534
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: Lawrence intercepted on the final offensive play of the game

535
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,199
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, and it would hope they were going

536
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: to be able to pull drive together.

537
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,240
Speaker 2: But well, the way of the day, people are pointing

538
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: out that Parker Washington comes free. But if you go

539
00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 2: back and watch. You can see that Joey Bosa is

540
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 2: bearing down on him and he went to the guy

541
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,119
Speaker 2: that came through with so many big clutch catches for

542
00:24:50,200 --> 00:24:52,880
Speaker 2: him this year. And it was just a good play

543
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:55,880
Speaker 2: by the defensive back. Put the ball right on the spot.

544
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 2: It wasn't like he threw it to the defensive back.

545
00:24:58,600 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 2: The defensive back got over the top.

546
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,400
Speaker 6: To finish. Times you eat the bear sometimes.

547
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:07,520
Speaker 1: Yeah the barry, Yeah, I guess that's fair. Buffalo Bills

548
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:09,920
Speaker 1: had their day and they earned that one, a hard

549
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: fought win on wild Card weekend.

550
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:12,280
Speaker 6: Stay with us.

551
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,000
Speaker 1: We'll come up back after the break and give you

552
00:25:14,040 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: our hot takes jag Exam. Hot takes are brought to

553
00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 1: you by Firehouse Steps. Uh uh.

554
00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 8: Not impressed at all. I mean we didn't get to

555
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 8: w you know, at the end of the day, we

556
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,679
Speaker 8: going home. Uh, we don't get to come suit up

557
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,600
Speaker 8: the next week. Uh So, man, I don't think anybody

558
00:25:42,680 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 8: impressed with our performance a day. You know, we came

559
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 8: here to win.

560
00:25:45,760 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: Uh.

561
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,639
Speaker 8: All that individual accolades don't even matter, you know, Uh,

562
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 8: whenever you're going home with the loss. We we we

563
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 8: we wanted to win the Super Bowl at the end

564
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 8: of the day. Uh, we we didn't uh go into

565
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 8: the season trying to win a T shirt or just

566
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 8: get to this moment, so uh for us to be

567
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,960
Speaker 8: in this moment and that gets it. The next step

568
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 8: wasn't her. So nobody was right about what happened throughout

569
00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 8: the game.

570
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: Trafsey TN good rushing day on the ground for the team.

571
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 1: Not impressed with that though they didn't get the win,

572
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: and that was important releading into that because Brian, I

573
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: know you have a hot take force that.

574
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 2: Involves t There are some big decisions that need to

575
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 2: be made, and normally I wouldn't suggest that you would

576
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: keep a veteran running back, especially when you drafted two

577
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 2: guys this year in baseil Tutin and la Quin Allen Jr.

578
00:26:29,119 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: But I think in this case that we will see

579
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: Travis etn return. The transition tag seems to make a

580
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,359
Speaker 2: lot of sense. Instead of the franchise tag, which is

581
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: an average of the top five. This is an average

582
00:26:38,880 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 2: of the top ten and it allows Travis to go

583
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,440
Speaker 2: out and check his value in the market and it's

584
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: not always been very high for running backs. Get fourteen

585
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 2: touchdowns this year if you count the one that he

586
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 2: had yesterday seven receiving. I thought he was a valuable teammate,

587
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: a valuable offensive weapon, and I thought Tuton was good,

588
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 2: but he didn't show me enough for me to think, well,

589
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 2: you can just give him the ball next year. I

590
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: think Etn is a guy that the quarterback is comfortable with,

591
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 2: and I think long term they'll be able to figure

592
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:08,399
Speaker 2: out a way to bring him back at a number,

593
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:10,640
Speaker 2: even if it's just for one year, because the transition

594
00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 2: tag saves you more than three million dollars from the

595
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:16,440
Speaker 2: franchise tag. I think he's one of those guys, John,

596
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: you talk about Devin Lloyd and some other decisions they

597
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: have to make. I think he's the easy one because

598
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,120
Speaker 2: he was high production on offense for them this year.

599
00:27:24,160 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 4: I hope so he gives you some things that are

600
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:30,800
Speaker 4: hard to replace. The spent when he's outside and a

601
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 4: few yards down. Feel like he showed in the touchdown yesterday.

602
00:27:33,760 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 4: He's got a knack for getting in the end zone

603
00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 4: that is very valuable.

604
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:40,080
Speaker 6: I wonder if they'll bring him back.

605
00:27:40,119 --> 00:27:43,719
Speaker 4: I would not be surprised if they can't, because running

606
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: back is such a quote replaceable position. That's what it said.

607
00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:51,800
Speaker 4: It's harder to do than my quotes. I hope you're right.

608
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:53,560
Speaker 2: Well, you look at what happened in Philly, right, they

609
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 2: gave the deal to Saquon Barkley, and they had to

610
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 2: after the two thousand yard season. But he wasn't the

611
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:01,960
Speaker 2: same guy this year, from the wear and tear, from

612
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 2: the load, whatever it may be. You just have to

613
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 2: be careful with the running back position. But devalue is

614
00:28:06,520 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 2: probably not the right word to say, but it's just

615
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 2: not as critical as quarterback, left tackle, wide receiver, defensive back,

616
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: pass rusher. So you got to be careful with what

617
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 2: you do. But I think you could make the case

618
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 2: because of his extreme production over eleven hundred yards rushing.

619
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,560
Speaker 2: Yesterday he had one hundred and sixteen yards from scrimmage,

620
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 2: which led your football team. He's a really valuable part

621
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:28,120
Speaker 2: of what they do.

622
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,480
Speaker 4: We'll see better find what he gives you if you

623
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 4: let it out the door. I went with sometimes hall

624
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 4: of famers beat you, and Josh Allen will be a

625
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 4: Hall of Famer.

626
00:28:39,720 --> 00:28:43,520
Speaker 6: He's one of the best two or three quarterbacks I think,

627
00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:44,320
Speaker 6: maybe the best.

628
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:50,640
Speaker 4: And I don't say this to diminish to give the Jaguars.

629
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 6: A pass on what happened.

630
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that they shouldn't have done more to

631
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: win the game, but there are times where you do

632
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 4: everything you can do in a game and the other

633
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 4: guy makes the play at the end and you just

634
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 4: couldn't stop it. So I guess I'm saying the Jags

635
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 4: fans tried to realize that this was not necessarily a

636
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:17,040
Speaker 4: game that the Jaguars gave away. You go ahead twice

637
00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter. Your quarterback makes big time clutch plays.

638
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 4: Even he didn't play his best, he gave you the

639
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 4: lead twice. This is not a case where the Jaguars,

640
00:29:28,120 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 4: you know, were at fault for not doing something.

641
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 6: The Hall of Famer did something.

642
00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 2: They needed someone to make a big play. If you

643
00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 2: go back through the Jaguars playoff history, you know there's

644
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,959
Speaker 2: Fred Taylor's ninety yard touchdown run, Jimmy Smith's sixty two

645
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 2: yard touchdown catch, and you know Tony Brackens with a

646
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 2: sack strip on Dan Marino. I mean, you have to

647
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: have your big time players make big time plays in

648
00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 2: the playoffs, and they didn't get one on defense yesterday

649
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,840
Speaker 2: when it mattered the most. Because a Hall of Famer

650
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: made one and nobody on the Jags.

651
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 1: Did my hot takes a little forward thing. As we

652
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,719
Speaker 1: go into the off season. Now, prepare for some off

653
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: season changes. I know there's turnover every single season, but

654
00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: the last two months have been so fun I've been

655
00:30:08,680 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: caught up in it a little bit myself. These teams

656
00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:12,920
Speaker 1: are not the same every year, and this was only

657
00:30:12,960 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: the first year of this new regime. They don't have

658
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:19,000
Speaker 1: their players yet. A lot of these guys were part

659
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: of past regimes, drafted by past gms, and I think

660
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: we're going to see a lot more overhaul than you

661
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: may expect, because while they were going in and doing

662
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: what they could late with the draft and free agency,

663
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: they're going to want to build this their way going forward.

664
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: And while we were fortunate to see a really great

665
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: season of thirteen and four that was above expectations I had,

666
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 1: and I think going into next year there may be

667
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: some consideration of the long term goal versus the short

668
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,480
Speaker 1: term goal. I'm sure they still want to win football games.

669
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure they still want to win the division, but

670
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,880
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be focused on getting the

671
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: right players in place and giving them time to play,

672
00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:58,400
Speaker 1: whether that's rookies or otherwise, and some of the names

673
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 1: you know very well may not be here next year

674
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: via trade or otherwise.

675
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 2: When you go thirteen and four, you buy the political capital,

676
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: for lack of a better word, of the grace to

677
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 2: be able to do what you want to do. And

678
00:31:09,040 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 2: I think there are a lot of people in this

679
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 2: building and outside of the John that will say, if

680
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,520
Speaker 2: that's what you delivered without your team, you do what

681
00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: you think makes sense.

682
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 6: They're gonna be aggressive.

683
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 4: I expect the defense particularly will look more different than

684
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 4: people might expect.

685
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,600
Speaker 1: Something to follow. We obviously will in the off season.

686
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: But stay with us for one more break. We'll come

687
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:31,920
Speaker 1: back and tell you what's going on for the rest

688
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:43,800
Speaker 1: of the week here at the Miller Electric Center. Jags

689
00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: Am brought to you by dailies. It's nicer here.

690
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, it'll take a little bit of time. That wasn't

691
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 5: really a hundred percent sure what to say to those

692
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 5: guys in there, because you don't really plan for what

693
00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: you're gonna say after the season ends. Be fortunate to

694
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:06,760
Speaker 5: be able to get together tomorrow, get the guys in there, communicate,

695
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 5: be able to swallow this one and keep it moving and.

696
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 1: Go and said he was a little bit of the

697
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:14,320
Speaker 1: lost for words what to say to his team after

698
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: a game like that, And I don't think I have

699
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,080
Speaker 1: the words either, But I will say the last couple

700
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 1: of months have been the most enjoyable I've had covering

701
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: football in quite some time. And I think that's what's

702
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:29,239
Speaker 1: fun about something new and the opportunity and seeing it

703
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: come together. It feels like the beginning of something. It

704
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 1: doesn't feel like the end. You're upset that it's over. Obviously,

705
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: it's such a fun run to see, but I'm excited

706
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: to see what they do with it going forward.

707
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was unexpected, right, I mean, eight consecutive wins,

708
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:46,640
Speaker 2: and to see the quarterback take his level of performance

709
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:50,320
Speaker 2: way up high in years past, in twenty seventeen, in

710
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 2: two thousand and seven, I mean, it didn't feel like

711
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 2: it felt like things were going to change dramatically. It

712
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 2: hasn't probably felt like this since well since nineteen ninety six,

713
00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:00,520
Speaker 2: where they won seven in a row and you just

714
00:33:00,600 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: knew it was the beginning of Mark and Fred and Fred.

715
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: When there Mark and Jimmy Keenan and Tony Brackens and

716
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 2: Kevin Hardy in the defense. So yeah, I mean, I

717
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 2: think the unexpected nature and the fact that it went

718
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 2: all the way through the holidays, right when it's so

719
00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 2: much fun to watch football, to be a part of

720
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 2: a winning team Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's I mean, it

721
00:33:18,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 2: was a great ride, which is probably why I'm smiling

722
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: this morning, because I really enjoyed it myself.

723
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:31,840
Speaker 4: They gave the team its pride back, and I think

724
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 4: by doing that, they gave the city its pride in

725
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 4: this team back beyond anything else. I believe it's sustainable.

726
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 4: I'd be surprised if it's not sustainable. There's no guarantees,

727
00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 4: but I'm with you. This feels like you can't assume anything,

728
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 4: but it feels like something that people are going to

729
00:33:51,040 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 4: be able to enjoy for a while. And that was

730
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,760
Speaker 4: the coolest part is how much people enjoyed it.

731
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 2: And I want to just put an emphasis point on

732
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,160
Speaker 2: something I wrote for Quick Thoughts this week. You know,

733
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 2: the defense needed to prove they were really number one,

734
00:34:03,480 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: and this was their opportunity because at times it felt

735
00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 2: like the run defense was good, but was it great?

736
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,680
Speaker 2: Yesterday proved it was great. Great. I mean, they shut

737
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,560
Speaker 2: down James Cook and they shut down Jonathan Taylor. The

738
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: two best running backs in the league. I mean shut

739
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,439
Speaker 2: them down. I thought Devon Hamilton was awesome yesterday and

740
00:34:20,560 --> 00:34:22,879
Speaker 2: he doesn't get enough credit. His teammates give it to him.

741
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 2: But Devon Hamilton is a guy who is worthy of

742
00:34:25,760 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: praise for what he did in the middle of that defense,

743
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 2: and I'm excited to see if they can keep that going.

744
00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Players will be in today clear things out. We will

745
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: be back with you on Wednesday as we kind of

746
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,080
Speaker 1: go over what to expect in the off season upcoming,

747
00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,359
Speaker 1: and we'll talk a little bit about this finish. That'll

748
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 1: be our final show before we take a break, So

749
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:43,040
Speaker 1: we'll see you back here on Wednesday on Jakes A.

750
00:34:43,160 --> 00:35:00,480
