1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jens Drive John with John Hoosier Hurst and

2
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Bryan set it six Jangs Drive. John starts right now.

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:21,400
Speaker 1: Good morning. The story of the first half is what

4
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:23,720
Speaker 1: happened at the end of the half. Trevor Lawrence went

5
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,040
Speaker 1: down after being sacked by James Houston. We don't know

6
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: how severe, horrific, severe or not. Pretty clear Bethard's gonna

7
00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: be the quarterback to start the half. We have not

8
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 1: seen Trevor Lawrence out on the field. C J is

9
00:00:34,520 --> 00:00:37,920
Speaker 1: warming up. Remember the Lions have the ball first inside

10
00:00:37,960 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 1: hand off here, This is DeAndre Swift got it to

11
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,000
Speaker 1: the forty five yard liney two yard gain on first

12
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,720
Speaker 1: down for Swift. And we do see Trevor coming back

13
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: onto the field and he's jogging back onto the field. Boy,

14
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: is that a good regardless of what happens here? Boy,

15
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: is that a sight for sore eyes? Trevor Lawrence in

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 1: uniform jogging back along the end line and jogging back

17
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:08,040
Speaker 1: toward the Jaguar sideline. Man exact good sounds of the

18
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: game from Ford Field on Sunday. You can find more

19
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:15,759
Speaker 1: of that at Jaguars dot com. Obviously, it's in Jags Wired,

20
00:01:15,800 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: which air is on Wednesday nights on Fox thirty. They're

21
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: really good stuff put together by the broadcast production team

22
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: here at t I A A Bank Phil, Good morning,

23
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,479
Speaker 1: Brian sexted with you along with John Osier. Um. If

24
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,720
Speaker 1: I had a camera, John and I could squeeze in there,

25
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: I would show that you once again if brought your

26
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 1: holiday coffee market. I think this has become a tradition

27
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: every year to feature what does it say? Happy Holidays,

28
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: Happy Polidays, paw like paw like dogs? Get it? I

29
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 1: like it. See what's funny about that is it's supposed

30
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: to be holidays. Yeah, but they said holidays. You are

31
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,640
Speaker 1: an interesting creature of habit. John, I like that about

32
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: you that you pull that out week two weeks before

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: Christian joke is I thought it along. Obviously, what we

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: saw there was salads of the game leads us to

35
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: the big storyline of the week. So let's jump right

36
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 1: into big things without further ado. We'll start with Trevor.

37
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,000
Speaker 1: Is he ready to go with the head coach said

38
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 1: yesterday he would be day to day. He turned in

39
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: a sprained toe. We saw some of Trevor around the

40
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: building yesterday, but he was not on the practice field,

41
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: and then the question was asked of him finally when

42
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: he met with the media after practice, what do you

43
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,799
Speaker 1: think I'm feeling better today? Um than I was Monday

44
00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 1: and yesterday. You know, a little bit of the soreness

45
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 1: is it's kind of is going down a little bit.

46
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:37,880
Speaker 1: Um obviously still still sore and kind of taking it

47
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:41,239
Speaker 1: day by day. But um, fortunate for sure, you know,

48
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: I feel I feel pretty good and from ready to

49
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: go to ready to get going again. And Travis E.

50
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: T N who had a string of three consecutive hundred

51
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:53,800
Speaker 1: yard games and then it was interrupted with the injury

52
00:02:54,280 --> 00:02:58,120
Speaker 1: and he has to get going this week. Very difficult

53
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: challenge in front of him with it to see Titans

54
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 1: who were excellent against the run, but they need to

55
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: get this ground game going to give balance for the quarterback,

56
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 1: whichever quarterback it might be, and finally will roll through

57
00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 1: to South struggles. The Jaguars, as you know if you

58
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: follow this team, have struggled in the a f C

59
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: South for a very long time. In fact, they haven't

60
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: beaten the team other than the Colts since September nineteenth

61
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,480
Speaker 1: of two thousand and nineteen. And the head coach knows

62
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,720
Speaker 1: as he's putting the pieces together for this franchise for

63
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,240
Speaker 1: now and the future. They've got to change that, you know. Tennessee,

64
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: the last couple of seasons has been been the team, right,

65
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 1: They're the ones that have been kind of carrying the torch.

66
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: And I think that's the that's the team that we're

67
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: all kind of chasing. You know. India's has been kind

68
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: of in that second second spot there, and um, yeah,

69
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: we're trying to We're trying to get there, you know,

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: we're trying to build it and and hopefully one day

71
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: be be the ones that everybody else is kind of chasing.

72
00:03:56,960 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: And John, let me show you the numbers here from

73
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: two thousand and event team four or two thousand seventeen. Obviously,

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: I'm good. I'm good on that. You know. You know what,

75
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,280
Speaker 1: maybe you don't know what you're watching at home, So

76
00:04:07,440 --> 00:04:10,800
Speaker 1: let's show you the Jaguars record in the division ten

77
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: wins and twenty four losses dating back to two thousand

78
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 1: and seventeen, which, by the way, was there only a

79
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: f C South Division titles since this division was accumulated

80
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: in two thousand and two, so it's been a long time.

81
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: They haven't played very well they've lost five in a

82
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: row to the Titans and nine in a row to

83
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: the Texans. This game, as you talked about yesterday, is

84
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: important for many reasons, but as much as those is

85
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: the chance to get on the board against the team

86
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: other than the Colts. Yeah, the numbers are actually not

87
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:47,839
Speaker 1: that good. Uh. And they're one and nine against Tennessee

88
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: in their last ten. Uh. They even get swept by

89
00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:56,200
Speaker 1: Near they won the South. Uh, they've lost every game

90
00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: up there since two thousand thirteen. So it's uh, I'm

91
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:05,240
Speaker 1: not as concerned right now about the rest of the

92
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,280
Speaker 1: South because I don't feel like there's a thing with

93
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 1: the Colts. You know, you know, they clearly can handle

94
00:05:10,920 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: the Colts, And I feel like the Texans, once they

95
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: get this thing going, I feel like they're going to

96
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: start handling not handling the Texans, but beyond even Keel

97
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be that doesn't feel like a thing.

98
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 1: But going to Nashville late in the season like they have,

99
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 1: there's an aura. And I don't know if you'd feel

100
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: that with another franchise, but you do with this one.

101
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:38,000
Speaker 1: And uh so I think it's very important because this

102
00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: is the team again when the Texans have beaten them,

103
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: they haven't felt handled. They felt like they've tripped over themselves. Yeah,

104
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 1: when they've gone up to Nashville, they have gotten handled

105
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: over and over and over again. With the exception of

106
00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen game or game early when they kind

107
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: of came back, it almost made that a game. Did

108
00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,040
Speaker 1: make that a game. If you're gonna win this division

109
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: and feel good, you know, I guess what, Brian, They

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,200
Speaker 1: gotta go over a year, right, They're not going to

111
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,599
Speaker 1: change that. So as they're getting on planes and going

112
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: out on that field, you would like them to feel

113
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: better about things when they start competing, which I think

114
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: they will next year. So in that sense, I think

115
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: I think it's huge if they lose it. I don't

116
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: think it's a disaster. But if they win it, how

117
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: much better do you feel if if they're walking off

118
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:32,159
Speaker 1: that field getting on that plane, To me, it changes

119
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 1: the whole dynamic of how you feel about this team

120
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: in January. If you get this, one feels so much

121
00:06:37,880 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: more important than the others. And that's irrespective of the

122
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 1: fact that if they were to beat the Titans on Sunday,

123
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden you could start talking about

124
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,920
Speaker 1: the playoffs scenarios, legitimately again that that doesn't even matter

125
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,360
Speaker 1: at this point. What matters is the Jaguars find a

126
00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:51,479
Speaker 1: way to win in a place and against a team

127
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: that has been inhospitable to them all the way back

128
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: to when the Oilers beat the Jaguars in their very

129
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 1: first game. It's just it's been that thing. The Oilers

130
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,280
Speaker 1: have won thirty three thirty three of the fifty four

131
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: games played between these two teams, and it's really become

132
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: a thing. Though to me, in the last five six years,

133
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: there was a time where I thought this thing was

134
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: a little bit overrated, where if you really look at

135
00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:19,800
Speaker 1: the records, they had the deal in for a couple

136
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,840
Speaker 1: of years in the nineties that was so prominent, but

137
00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: then it was sort of even. For a long time.

138
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 1: They would split, it would be weird games, but then

139
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: all of a sudden in third team when they stopped

140
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:31,760
Speaker 1: being able to win up there, it's just sort of slid. Actually,

141
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: you know more because that franchise is better than this one.

142
00:07:35,960 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: It hasn't been real mystery. It hasn't been like the

143
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars have beating everybody else and beating the Titans. They

144
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: strugged against everybody, but it's really been battis t let's

145
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: roll back up through a big thing to the Jaguars

146
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 1: facing a run defense that's number three in the league,

147
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 1: only allowing teams eighty three yards a game. That's incredible.

148
00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 1: And of course their third down percentage and let's show

149
00:07:54,440 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: you that is number one in the league. They only

150
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 1: allowed teams to convert third eight percent of the time

151
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,240
Speaker 1: of a hundred and sixty one attempts. They're really good

152
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 1: up front, so if you're not gonna be able to

153
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: run the ball effectively. That brings us to the biggest

154
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: story of the week, and that is the health of

155
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Laurds. He did not practice yesterday. I believe

156
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: there was a first time in his tenure here that

157
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: he has not practiced on Wednesday. Yeah. I think there

158
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: was one where he was COVID at some point with

159
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: all the COVID weirdness, that he didn't practice one day

160
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,440
Speaker 1: because of that. I can't remember that specifically, but he

161
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:33,000
Speaker 1: says sounding bad in the press conference, but it's it's

162
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,360
Speaker 1: only the first time that an injury has kept him

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: out of practice, and whether he goes or not is

164
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,080
Speaker 1: still largely up in the air. C J. Beth talked

165
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: in the locker room about doing what backup quarterbacks do,

166
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: preparing to be able to play um and Lawrence sounded

167
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 1: like he was okay, but we don't know at this point. Yeah,

168
00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,000
Speaker 1: I got the vibe. And it's still a little bit

169
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: tricky to read tele's with Doug because I mean Doug

170
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: Peters and he does a nice job of keeping it

171
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 1: close to the vest and you know, so that the

172
00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: other team doesn't know what's going on. I think they'll

173
00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:11,560
Speaker 1: do that with Trevor a little bit. Um My vibe

174
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 1: was when Doug said yesterday that he believes Lawrence will

175
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: be on the practice field at some point this week.

176
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:24,040
Speaker 1: I Doug usually says guys are trending in the right direction,

177
00:09:24,600 --> 00:09:26,599
Speaker 1: but the fact that he thinks Trevor will practice this

178
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: week at some point is a little bit more. And

179
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: then Trevor walked into the media thing yesterday, really no

180
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: protective shoe. Didn't look to me like it was a

181
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:37,959
Speaker 1: limping I wasn't you know. I didn't fall him down

182
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:43,440
Speaker 1: the hallway. I'm not that guy. But so it looked

183
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: and felt like a guy who was going to play

184
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: for this reason, think about it. With a lot of injuries,

185
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:50,719
Speaker 1: you want to keep it off, keep it rest. But

186
00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: a toe, even if it's minor, you would think with

187
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: a toe injury, you really want to give it rest

188
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:01,320
Speaker 1: because the more time time then the better he's gonna

189
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:05,440
Speaker 1: feel on Sunday. So again, my gut is that he plays.

190
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I don't really want to see

191
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,360
Speaker 1: it if he doesn't up there because I think how

192
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 1: he plays is so cute. We can get too later,

193
00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: but I feel this is a huge game for this

194
00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: offense because they have not you know, I feel like

195
00:10:20,160 --> 00:10:22,439
Speaker 1: the offense is gonna be strength of the team this

196
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,199
Speaker 1: year and next year, for for the Enio the future,

197
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: because I think it's gonna be tough to build this

198
00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:30,720
Speaker 1: defense to be dominant quickly. Well, if you're gonna depend

199
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: on your offense, you have to depend on offense against

200
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,840
Speaker 1: good defenses. So you'd love to see them start. Okay,

201
00:10:37,880 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 1: we're a good offense overall. Now can we go be

202
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:43,680
Speaker 1: really good against tough d's because that'll get him over

203
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: the humpstart winning big games. And we'll find out as

204
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,319
Speaker 1: we get closer to game day whether or not Trevor

205
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,400
Speaker 1: Lawrence is able to play in Nashville. We'll take a

206
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 1: break when we come back to t I A. Bank

207
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: Field on this Thursday morning, we'll go around the locker

208
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: room and give you a sense of what the fellas

209
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: are talking about as they get ready for the a

210
00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:02,599
Speaker 1: f C out matchup against the Titans back after this.

211
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: Well Fields Auto Group is a proud sponsor of the Jaguars.

212
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,200
Speaker 1: Thing about you to step up to luxury Fields Auto

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: dot Com. Brian Sexton and the senior writer from Jaguars

214
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 1: dot Com, John osire with you here on Jack's Drive

215
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:24,839
Speaker 1: time and time to go around the locker room. What

216
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,480
Speaker 1: the guys are talking about yesterday as they met with

217
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: the media post practice. And we'll start with wide receiver

218
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk coming off a six catch hundred and four

219
00:11:33,640 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 1: yard performance in Detroit. Obviously, he has been ultra productive

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: this year. For quarterback Trevor Lawrence, he was asked, well,

221
00:11:41,559 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: what happens if Lawrence isn't the guy on Sunday and

222
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: if c J. Bethard has to step in and play.

223
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: We got a lot of belief in c J. Um

224
00:11:49,640 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 1: I personally played against c J before, and uh, you

225
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: know it came in and uh ruined our day for us.

226
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: He had a great name himself, so obviously in the firsthand,

227
00:11:58,160 --> 00:11:59,960
Speaker 1: you know what he can do, cause in this low

228
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: room have a lot of respect for him and a

229
00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:03,679
Speaker 1: lot of confidence in him. So, um, you know, we

230
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,559
Speaker 1: don't expect to you know, miss a beat, you know,

231
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: just pick up where we left off him and I

232
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,800
Speaker 1: guess that's what they have to say. But we haven't

233
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:13,360
Speaker 1: had a chance to see C. J. Beathard since August,

234
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:17,000
Speaker 1: and so wondering how functional he will be in a

235
00:12:17,040 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 1: couple of days practice against a very good Titans team

236
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: is a lot to ask. I think some people expected

237
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: like the camera to pan over and for Christian just

238
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 1: have a tear, which isn't how they feel like he's

239
00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: such a pro. Yeah, I mean he uh yeah, Bethred,

240
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: he didn't play very well this preseason, but he was

241
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 1: coming off growing injury from joined Uh. To me, when

242
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: he's played, he's looked like a very serviceable backup. I've

243
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,480
Speaker 1: always thought in the NFL, if if you have a

244
00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: good team and eleven and five ish team eleven and

245
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 1: six is team you want to back up that if

246
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: they play a month, they can get you too into Uh.

247
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: You know, I feel like c J. If this team

248
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,079
Speaker 1: was a twelve and five team, if you had to

249
00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: play a month with him, you know, with a good

250
00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: team around, he probably gets you a couple of wins

251
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,280
Speaker 1: and a couple, where a big time quarterback in that

252
00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: situation maybe gets you one more. I think that's the difference.

253
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:15,400
Speaker 1: I think he's that guy, which is what you went

254
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:17,480
Speaker 1: out of the backup keep. You know you're not gonna

255
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: have a home sitting on the bench behind Trevor, so

256
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: this is what it is. Bethyard was alshow in the

257
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: locker room yesterday talking with the media as you would

258
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: expect just in case he is the starter on Sunday

259
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 1: if Trevor Lawrence can't go with the injured toe, and

260
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,920
Speaker 1: he said just about what you'd expect a solid veteran

261
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,720
Speaker 1: professional backup quarterback to say. The routine does have changed.

262
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 1: I love the fact that in practice I'm getting the

263
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:45,800
Speaker 1: reps as it was today, uh them out of My

264
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:47,959
Speaker 1: process is the same because you know it's the backup.

265
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,599
Speaker 1: You're one player away in any situation, any game of

266
00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:52,400
Speaker 1: the year, so you gotta you gotta take the process

267
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: the same way through here one of my favorite stories

268
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: of all time, Brian I don't know if you remember it.

269
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 1: Back in the nineties, the Bills had a quarter back

270
00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: and I forget his name, and probably good I forget

271
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:06,640
Speaker 1: his name for his sake, but basically, the starter gets hurt,

272
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: the backup comes in, plays horrible and and in the

273
00:14:12,240 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 1: media after where he kind of goes, yeah, I wasn't

274
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: ready really prepare. That was jap lossman. I believe now

275
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: it was. It was one circuit with the Bills behind that,

276
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: but I always kind of said, yeah, that's probably what

277
00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: I mean. I'm sir, I'm sure, Ce David Paris, I'm

278
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: sure there are times where the guy goes in and

279
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: he's like, uh, coach, exactly. Big story. There's week Obviously,

280
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: Trevor's told the other story. Derrick Henry, who has put

281
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: up three hundred and forty five yards and five touchdowns

282
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:51,800
Speaker 1: the last two times he's played the Jaguars. Remember he

283
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,120
Speaker 1: did not play in the second game last year because

284
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: he had the foot injury. So this is the first

285
00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,840
Speaker 1: game last year and the last game in Henry has

286
00:14:59,840 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: been in A Beast and Foy, a Louicon, the Jaguars

287
00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:06,840
Speaker 1: starting inside linebacker, was signed in free agency for games

288
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 1: just like this as a team eleven eleven man football,

289
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: we gotta fit our gaps. You know, they they line

290
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: up in certain formations and you know they're gonna run

291
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:17,200
Speaker 1: the ball. They might play action off of it. When

292
00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: he has the ball, we gotta be able to get

293
00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: off our blocks and get to the ball because you know,

294
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: he is a very powerful guy, fast guy. We gotta

295
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 1: be able to plug up the gaps and if he

296
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: bounces it, gets to the ball, help everybody tackle him.

297
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:31,360
Speaker 1: You're talking to people yesterday. Uh, in Nashville. They have

298
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 1: had to find other ways to get Derrick Henry going.

299
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 1: And as we heard from Jonathan Hutton in our interview

300
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: with him, he hasn't gotten going in recent weeks. He

301
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:44,560
Speaker 1: still has that ability to run downhill on you, but

302
00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: it's when he gets outside that he's causing more trouble

303
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: this year for teams. Yeah, it feels like he is

304
00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:55,880
Speaker 1: still a player that is very very good. Um, I'm

305
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: not sure their offensive line is as is as powerful

306
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 1: as it has been in the last I guess before

307
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,240
Speaker 1: his injury. Roger staffolds in Buffalo and Taylor twees and

308
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: I R So you're right, And what I mean by

309
00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: that is there were times where in the last probably

310
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,880
Speaker 1: twenty or a nineteen and twenty, when he was really

311
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: dominant that the Titans, you would look up and they

312
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: were running their way back into games, being down fourteen points,

313
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: which is really hard and really rare in this league.

314
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: And it showed you what they are as a franchise.

315
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,640
Speaker 1: It strikes you that they're not quite that, and that's

316
00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: what they want to be. That being said Comma, he

317
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 1: is uh still very capable if things are going right,

318
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: to completely dominate you. So it's almost like, well, maybe

319
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:50,320
Speaker 1: they're running games not as much as it was, but

320
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 1: it's a nine instead of a ten. It used to

321
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:55,520
Speaker 1: be that he was a first and second down back

322
00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,240
Speaker 1: and you had to get him on first and second

323
00:16:57,280 --> 00:17:00,600
Speaker 1: down to put yourself in manageable third down. Well, now

324
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,840
Speaker 1: he has a career high in both receptions and yardage

325
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: and he had that long you know, narrowly missed the

326
00:17:07,640 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: touchdown pass life, which shows you they don't have quite

327
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 1: as much confidence they can just turn the ball and

328
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: I mean I turn around handed to him. So they

329
00:17:14,160 --> 00:17:17,200
Speaker 1: needy ways. That foot injury has had an impact, and

330
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,200
Speaker 1: their offensive line, it appears, isn't quite Hey, we're gonna

331
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:24,399
Speaker 1: do this and and don't worry about trying to disguise it.

332
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: So they're adapting and that's the reason they're still seven

333
00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: and five in first place. We know them, they're in

334
00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:31,800
Speaker 1: the division. We know them because they simply are that

335
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: team that is the same seemingly year to year. One

336
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 1: of the longest ten year Jaguars is defensive linement Dwan Smoot,

337
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 1: who certainly has a perspective on the neighbors to the north.

338
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we know what they're gonna brings. They you know,

339
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:48,200
Speaker 1: twenty two run the ball. We know we gotta we

340
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: gotta be strongest the roam. We gotta get vertical when

341
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 1: we gotta, you know. So that's the plan, as always

342
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: has been a plan. You know the times that we

343
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 1: did play him, we played them, well that's what we did. So, yeah,

344
00:17:58,160 --> 00:17:59,879
Speaker 1: you almost get the feeling, Brian that they walk in

345
00:18:00,040 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: the game plan meetings on defense, you know, like, what

346
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 1: are you doing here? We know what the c Yeah,

347
00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: I mean, and obviously there's nuances to it, but you

348
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:13,359
Speaker 1: have to stop that guy. And uh, it is one

349
00:18:13,400 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: of those rare things usually in the NFL, when you say, okay,

350
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,600
Speaker 1: we're gonna take something away, you go do it. Well,

351
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:22,600
Speaker 1: this guy is good enough where even if you decide

352
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 1: to do that, you look up and he's running for

353
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:27,159
Speaker 1: nine yards on you because he's broken a tackle and

354
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,040
Speaker 1: you're like, what in the world happened. Well, he's that good,

355
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, and that happens. They don't have the weapons

356
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 1: in the passing game, especially if Traylon Burke's their first

357
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:36,560
Speaker 1: round draft choice who had the big hit in the

358
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,119
Speaker 1: end zone last week and it was concusted, is in

359
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 1: the concussion protocol if he doesn't play right, they don't

360
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: have that that tight end that's such a huge matchup problem,

361
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: and they always seem to have had that guy. I

362
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:48,879
Speaker 1: would think this should be a week you could put

363
00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: it in the box, trusting the guys on the outside

364
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,160
Speaker 1: to be able to handle one on one. And that's

365
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: saying a lot, because we know the secondary has been

366
00:18:56,400 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: troublesome this year. Yeah, I I I hope so, But

367
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: I would say that this secondary has not proven that yet.

368
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: So if if if you do that, it's worth watching.

369
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,720
Speaker 1: All right, Well, that's our tour around the locker room

370

377
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,320
Speaker 1: Jack's Drive Time. Brian and John with you a time.

378
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: Four Will he won't? He might? And John will start

379
00:19:54,160 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: with you. I'm going to say Jones, who I've I've

380
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,919
Speaker 1: done in this segment multiple times, and I think it's

381
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: because I think he's so key to the offense. I

382
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: think you agree, Uh, he will play this week? That

383
00:20:06,040 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: was not a given last week he went into the

384
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 1: game very questionable. Uh, and he won't And this is

385
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,200
Speaker 1: really the meat of my He will he won't? He

386
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: wi right, Yeah, there's some that are okay so or not.

387
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:21,479
Speaker 1: He won't have four drops and I'm not sure how

388
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 1: hell have any drops. And the reason I say that

389
00:20:24,760 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: is although he didn't really want to go there, I

390
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: think the chest injury last week had to have been

391
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: a huge factor and why he played so poorly. I

392
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:37,840
Speaker 1: think he's motivated to show that he's not that guy. Um,

393
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:39,479
Speaker 1: I'm not sure he has to worry about that much.

394
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he's ever been that guy, and I

395
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: don't think he will be that guy. Uh. And as

396
00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:48,560
Speaker 1: I said multiple times in this segment this year, he

397
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 1: might be the key to them offensively because when he's right,

398
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,800
Speaker 1: we saw it against Baltimore. When he's right, he gives

399
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,919
Speaker 1: you that other element and can open up everything. Now

400
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: only for Christian Kirk, who seems cannot really need somebody

401
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: to open it up for him. He's pretty consistent. But

402
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,399
Speaker 1: for the running game, Uh, you know, if Z Jones

403
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: gets going now, all of a sudden, the Titans, who

404
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:13,720
Speaker 1: are very good against the run, maybe they can't pay

405
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:15,600
Speaker 1: quite as much attention. I don't think E t N

406
00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: is gonna have, you know, a carry four yard, but

407
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 1: can you pop one? If you could pop one and

408
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,360
Speaker 1: flip the field because of what's A Jones is doing

409
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: is big. So I think Z Jones again might be

410
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:30,840
Speaker 1: the key to their offense big picture looking into three.

411
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,920
Speaker 1: Getting him going again and being consistent here at the

412
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 1: end of the year allows you to feel good about

413
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,240
Speaker 1: bringing Calvin Ridley in to mesh with what you're getting

414
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: from Christian Kirk ands a Jones and not feel like

415
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:43,760
Speaker 1: we gotta solve this one. We gotta go find that

416
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: number two receiver. Yeah, I I don't think they really

417
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 1: needed to. I think they've got You know, people always

418
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: want to talk about Christian Kirk like he's a pure slot,

419
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: pure three. So now as you got to get away

420
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,520
Speaker 1: from like labels if you will, I think Christian is

421
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: it is a very good tube who can go to

422
00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: play the slot in this offense they kind of move

423
00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: around so much. And Christians fine is your to slash

424
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: two A. I don't mean it to be right, I

425
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: just but I've I fall victim to that too. I

426
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 1: think Ridley is your one, Zay is your two, and

427
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 1: Christian is your slot. Is a really powerful thing. But

428
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 1: if you move Christian around is the around. I think

429
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: Ridley z and Christian is a really really good group

430
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,639
Speaker 1: to go in with, regardless of what he does the

431
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: rest of the year. But certainly he love his confidence

432
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:46,520
Speaker 1: up well and my he will he won't or he

433
00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 1: might is a guy who could also open things up,

434
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: and that's Evan England, who, like they had a couple

435
00:22:52,480 --> 00:22:55,640
Speaker 1: of jobs last week, this week he will make catches.

436
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 1: I think there was something about him getting that ball

437
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,639
Speaker 1: into the end zone that flipped or switch you to him. He,

438
00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 1: of course, this week in the locker room was regret

439
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 1: remorseful to the better word. He regretted dropping the ball

440
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: as much as he did. And he will be a

441
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: guy who makes the clutch catch this week. Now, he

442
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,760
Speaker 1: won't be a hundred yard receiver, but he might john

443
00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: be that guy finally that we're waiting for from that

444
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:23,040
Speaker 1: position to be the third down and six, third down

445
00:23:23,119 --> 00:23:25,160
Speaker 1: and seven go right to Evan, Go right to Evan.

446
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:27,160
Speaker 1: There's been a couple of games this year where there's

447
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,639
Speaker 1: been a rhythm with Evan Ingram moving the chains and

448
00:23:30,760 --> 00:23:33,359
Speaker 1: playing an important part in keeping this team on the field.

449
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: This might be the week that he gets to be there.

450
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, they are excellent. The Titans are at

451
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 1: stopping the run, but they're not as good on the

452
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: back end. Their numbers defensively show that, kind of like

453
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. But if Evan Ingram can get some mismatches,

454
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,280
Speaker 1: then Evan Ingram could be that important part. And of course,

455
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: if he's roaming the middle of the field making plays,

456
00:23:54,520 --> 00:23:57,440
Speaker 1: it's tough to have two guys looking hey, where's Christian Kirk. Yeah,

457
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: it just feels like, you know, we both went offense

458
00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: with that segment. Obviously, there's so much on defense that

459
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: you know, frankly, I tried to sort of figure out

460
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: a defensive guy. So much is going on defensively that

461
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to focus on one guy, right, I

462
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: mean that's but offensively, Uh, to me, this feels like

463
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,800
Speaker 1: a game where in order to win you need to

464
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:26,240
Speaker 1: have some spurts where it feels like the fourth quarter

465
00:24:26,320 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: against Baltimore where Trevor is on where it's really going.

466
00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: And to me, Za Jones and Evan Ingram are key

467
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: to that. These two guys Trevor, if they're gonna win,

468
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:38,719
Speaker 1: it feels like they have to be going and has

469
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,640
Speaker 1: to feel like late Baltimore. All right, we'll come back

470
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 1: with some final thoughts and Monday's headlines today here on

471
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 1: Jags Drive Time presented by the Fields Auto Group on

472
00:24:49,840 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 1: a Thursday morning. All right, we're back to wrap up

473
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: our final show of the week. Brian and John with

474
00:25:01,119 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: you here from t I A bank Field and Monday's

475
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: Headlines today. I gotta I got a sense where this

476
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,399
Speaker 1: is going, But what do you say? Well, Uh. On

477
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,439
Speaker 1: the keyboard, you have to hit shift to do like hashtag,

478
00:25:15,760 --> 00:25:18,639
Speaker 1: exclamation point asters, you know how you have to like

479
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:22,240
Speaker 1: a curse word. I'm afraid that's what it's gonna be,

480
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:28,080
Speaker 1: meaning not not blowout. I have a feeling they played

481
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,040
Speaker 1: better against Tennessee. I'd be surprised if it's one of

482
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 1: those slide games where you just feel like it's all

483
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: going against him. But I just don't know if up

484
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:43,280
Speaker 1: there Titans have a chance to clinch um. You know,

485
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,119
Speaker 1: I think it's a big ask for a for a

486
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 1: defense that is really struggling right now, to completely shut

487
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: them down. So I'm gonna go with big back blues

488
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: and not that Derrick Henry is gonna run wild and

489
00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:01,080
Speaker 1: embarrass this defense. But I could see the headline above

490
00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: the photo of him with his shoulder down driving into

491
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:07,359
Speaker 1: the end zone. Uh. He has owned the Jaguars, especially

492
00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: up there. I think the Jaguars can corral him because

493
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: I haven't seen the same Derrick Henry. Of course, big

494
00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: backs start to lose that effectiveness the more banging they've

495
00:26:16,960 --> 00:26:19,840
Speaker 1: got going on in their in their game. But I

496
00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,480
Speaker 1: still think he's the difference that that guy that that

497
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:25,640
Speaker 1: wins that takes the team, puts it on his back

498
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 1: and gets it in for the game winning touchdown. I

499
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 1: think it'd be close. I think you might even say, okay,

500
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 1: right after so many bad days at Nissan Stadium, finally

501
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,880
Speaker 1: a day where you leave with your head held high,

502
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 1: but with the defense that couldn't get the Lions off

503
00:26:40,960 --> 00:26:42,640
Speaker 1: the field. I just don't know how you picked this yet.

504
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: And again, I'm looking forward to this one because it's

505
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: a winnable game. Yeah, it's winnable. And again I keep

506
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,760
Speaker 1: going back to you know, at some point this franchise

507
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 1: is going to get one and not and Baltimore was

508
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:56,240
Speaker 1: one of them. We forget that because they had the

509
00:26:56,280 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: one off last week and it's the one off and

510
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore was one of them where he walked off saying okay,

511
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: maybe team that's pretty impressive. This would feel like that

512
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 1: with division ramifications. All right, Well let's see if we

513
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: can get it done. Thanks so much, John, appreciate it,

514
00:27:08,640 --> 00:27:10,679
Speaker 1: and to Joe and to Brent Reeber and everyone who

515
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,280
