1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:02,280 Speaker 1: It's time for our weekly conversation with Pride of the 2 00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:06,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. And we have to have 3 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: a conversation Fred after what happened last week. I know 4 00:00:09,720 --> 00:00:11,720 Speaker 1: we certainly did in the post game last week and 5 00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:14,320 Speaker 1: all week long this week has been the talk of 6 00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:17,000 Speaker 1: the town. And the forty seven to ten loss on 7 00:00:17,079 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Monday night football a humbling defeat to say the least, 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 1: But all right, they're zero and three. There's a lot 9 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,319 Speaker 1: of football left ahead. So as an organization, as a 10 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:30,319 Speaker 1: football team, as a coaching staff, you just got to 11 00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:32,280 Speaker 1: put a foot in front of the other and keep 12 00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,280 Speaker 1: going forward. Right, But how do you do that after 13 00:00:34,320 --> 00:00:34,880 Speaker 1: Monday night? 14 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,840 Speaker 2: Well, you watched this, You watch the tape from Monday night, 15 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:44,440 Speaker 2: and you accept the reality that you stunk it up, 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: you know, and you go in there and you try 17 00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:51,160 Speaker 2: your best avoid doing that again. You try your best 18 00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:55,040 Speaker 2: to avoid doing that. And I think it starts with the coaches. 19 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: You know, they're going to see the film first. They 20 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,400 Speaker 2: have to look at the positions that they put the 21 00:01:01,400 --> 00:01:03,560 Speaker 2: players in. They have to look at the calls in 22 00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,880 Speaker 2: each situation and say, how could we coach better? That's 23 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,880 Speaker 2: where it starts first. They have to take that relay 24 00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 2: that to the players. They have to tell them the 25 00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 2: honest truth. You were here, you were here, you could 26 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 2: have done this better. This was really bad, but you 27 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 2: could do this better. I got faith that you can 28 00:01:20,840 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: do this better. We're gonna continue to call it. We're 29 00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,399 Speaker 2: gonna tighten it up, but we have to get better together, 30 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 2: and it starts with having that conversation watching the film. 31 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 2: Then you bury it, which is what Doug said after 32 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,640 Speaker 2: the game. You bury that entire loss. You throw it away. 33 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,840 Speaker 2: You're about to play a team who just got beat 34 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: almost as bad. The Vikings put a number on the Texans, 35 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:47,400 Speaker 2: and they're looking to get bounced back. They know the 36 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,920 Speaker 2: Jaguars are injured, they know they're the depleted secondary. They 37 00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 2: know there hasn't been a pass rush. They're gonna, you know, 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 2: they scouted all of that. They know that Cam Robinson 39 00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: has been struggling, so they're gonna to do some matchups 40 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:05,360 Speaker 2: there and make sure they're dominant. Pass rusher is right 41 00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:08,680 Speaker 2: over Cam to put pressure on Trevor directly in his face. 42 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 2: They're gonna expect Trevor to make some bad throws because 43 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,320 Speaker 2: of it. So that's just what they're gonna get from 44 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:20,360 Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint from the Texans. From offensively, the Texans 45 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:22,919 Speaker 2: are gonna they're gonna go after him a lot of 46 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 2: I expect a lot of deep shots. I don't expect 47 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,880 Speaker 2: many short balls throughout the day. But they're gonna match 48 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: up Devin Lloyd much like the Bills did on Monday Night, 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,720 Speaker 2: and they're gonna take some shots behind them, intermediate and 50 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 2: then deep. So it's gonna be a tough match up 51 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,799 Speaker 2: here in the South AFC South. But it's not over 52 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,360 Speaker 2: till it's over. Still still a lot of football to play. 53 00:02:48,800 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 2: You have to see incremental improvement from the staff as 54 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: well as the players. 55 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: Ben Taylor with us, I mean if they turned around 56 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 1: the next two week's division wins two and three going 57 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,360 Speaker 1: to London, then all right back in it again, in 58 00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,240 Speaker 1: shape and right there in the race. But they have 59 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: bigger issues to attend to, certainly right now. This is 60 00:03:08,080 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 1: the quarterback matchup that we've been thinking about moving ahead here. CJ. 61 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: Stroud Trevor Lawrence. Last week, Trevor didn't stand up in 62 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 1: that spotlight on Monday Night football. 63 00:03:17,520 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 2: But CJ. 64 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: Stroud's been doing it pretty well this year. Obviously the 65 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,560 Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season he was really good. 66 00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 1: He's got really good receivers who played well around him. 67 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 1: What is it about Stroud? What do you like about 68 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 1: his mentality, his mindset and the way he's going about 69 00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:32,800 Speaker 1: his business early in his. 70 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,880 Speaker 2: Career, and you know, the way you see CJ on 71 00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 2: the field is the same CJ off the field. He's collected, 72 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:44,800 Speaker 2: he's poised, he's mature. You know, you see a rookie 73 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 2: come in a year ago and you don't expect him 74 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 2: to take command of a team. You know, the amount 75 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: of leadership he displayed just having conversations with CJ on 76 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 2: our podcast The Pivot, saying, you know, his demeanor, his 77 00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:06,200 Speaker 2: approach to life is amazing. His faith and belief belief 78 00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,560 Speaker 2: in God is where it all starts. That carries over 79 00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 2: to football for him. He's completely confident and who he 80 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 2: is as a person and who he is as a player. 81 00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,200 Speaker 2: His teammates can see that he's a guy that isn't 82 00:04:21,200 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 2: gonna flinch. He's a guy that's gonna take the bull 83 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 2: by the horn and ride it. He's going to tell 84 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 2: you know, another Alpha and his newly acquired receiver, Stephan Diggs, 85 00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 2: he's gonna say Steph, look you're wrong. You know, he's 86 00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 2: not afraid to do that as a young guy to 87 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,040 Speaker 2: a veteran, and they believe in that him and they 88 00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,640 Speaker 2: respect him for for that. You know, we spend some 89 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: time down in Houston, Uh this during our training camp 90 00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,560 Speaker 2: tour with the podcast, and same thing, same guy. You know, 91 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,800 Speaker 2: he believes in himself, he believes in his staff. He 92 00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: spends a lot of time in the meeting rooms. Uh. 93 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 2: He's spent a lot of times with his receivers. He 94 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 2: even invited me out to dinner with his receivers and 95 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,719 Speaker 2: a concert. But I'm like, no, I'm a little older 96 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 2: than you guys. I'll pass, but I appreciate it. But 97 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,680 Speaker 2: he's so thoughtful and consider it. He wants to win, 98 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,880 Speaker 2: He wants to be the best, so he puts that 99 00:05:14,960 --> 00:05:18,480 Speaker 2: time in. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Last week, 100 00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,080 Speaker 2: the Vikings got two from him, so I'm sure he's 101 00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:24,479 Speaker 2: in the film room more extra hours to try and 102 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 2: circumvent those things from happening versus the Jaguars. But he 103 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,440 Speaker 2: is certainly everything that you saw a year ago, and 104 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,000 Speaker 2: he showed that the first two weeks, and I'm sure 105 00:05:35,040 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: He's looking to bounce back with all his MC versus 106 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: the Jaguars in this matchup. 107 00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,919 Speaker 1: Bred Taylor Pride to the Jaguars running back with us. 108 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: All right, from a Jaguars offensive perspective, how do you 109 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:50,719 Speaker 1: fix it? What happens offensively? What moving ahead this week? 110 00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,600 Speaker 1: Can they do better to score and have results and 111 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,919 Speaker 1: have early success on the offensive side. 112 00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:58,960 Speaker 2: Well, in the past game, you got to slow down 113 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:02,279 Speaker 2: to Texans, right, they have thirteen sex in three games. 114 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: They have rushers across the board. You want to make 115 00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 2: sure you remind your running backs to chip release and 116 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: I mean we talk. We've been talking weeks every week 117 00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 2: right the past three weeks. So you want to make 118 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,920 Speaker 2: sure you remind those guys to help. You know, don't 119 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:23,120 Speaker 2: rush out on your routes. You your secondary target. Make 120 00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 2: sure you take a nice chunk out of their defenders 121 00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 2: so that your alignment can get back and regain their 122 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 2: position so they can hold up a bit longer so 123 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: Trevor can get the ball down til Also while they're 124 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,320 Speaker 2: doing that, I want to see some shots, you know, 125 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior. All throughout the broadcast on Monday Night, 126 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,839 Speaker 2: they say this is the guy that can change plays. 127 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 2: They're calling it, and they're not in Jacksonville. This is 128 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,880 Speaker 2: the national televised guys, by national televised group that don't 129 00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 2: see this kid play every week. But he's someone who 130 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 2: I believe can get it done. You take those chances. 131 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,920 Speaker 2: It's good to see Christian Kirk back in the fall. 132 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 2: Get more targets and get more receptions. Utilize him as well. 133 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 2: And then it's the run game. You know, try not 134 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,320 Speaker 2: to fall behind so that you can be more balanced. 135 00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:15,360 Speaker 2: You fall behind and you take the run game, it's 136 00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,760 Speaker 2: none existence. Then you end up throwing forty six times 137 00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: as you did Monday night to only seventeen runs. And 138 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 2: that's not the balance. That's not a winning recipe for 139 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 2: any team, you know, across the league. So I guess 140 00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 2: that's the formula. Slow down the rush, protect Trevor. Trevor 141 00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 2: has to make better throws from a defensive standpoint, take 142 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,360 Speaker 2: some of the air out, you know, tighten up the defense. 143 00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,400 Speaker 2: I will not run heavy man this week, and I 144 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 2: would try to disguise better, put a little bit more 145 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 2: zone in there. But tell those guys we got to rush. 146 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: We really really got to rush. Got to stop the 147 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,360 Speaker 2: run first. I don't know if Mixon is back healthy 148 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 2: this or that, but he's certainly a dog when he's 149 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 2: in there, and and certainly their other running backs are 150 00:08:04,760 --> 00:08:10,400 Speaker 2: as well, so tall order in a divisional matchup, and 151 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 2: again I'm optimistic they got to bounce back because JB 152 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 2: really quick. Yeah, mine is the blowout. They could easily 153 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,120 Speaker 2: be two and one, and I know we can always 154 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 2: say the team can easily be this, so they can. 155 00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 2: It's the NFL, though, right, so you gotta win the 156 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,760 Speaker 2: ones that you're supposed to win in the event that 157 00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 2: blowouts do happen. But the Dolphins game, the ETN play, 158 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,920 Speaker 2: that's a win. That is a win. The very following 159 00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:40,560 Speaker 2: week the Arnest Johnson, that's a potential win. That was 160 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 2: a big ununity that took back scuity down there. That's 161 00:08:43,280 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 2: a huge unity. So you can't let those type plays 162 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,280 Speaker 2: beat you. For situations like this, you can be two 163 00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,720 Speaker 2: and one versus oh and three with an opportunity to 164 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,360 Speaker 2: be in a big divisional matchup for lead in the division. 165 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 2: You're not that. What you are is oh and three 166 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: with an opportunity to play a fold that you're very 167 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,360 Speaker 2: you're familiar with, a team that that's had your number 168 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 2: in the most recent years. But you still have to 169 00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:09,280 Speaker 2: go out there, to a man and play your best 170 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 2: and see what Whatever the result is, you've earned it, 171 00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,200 Speaker 2: accept it, move on to the next week. So I 172 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,720 Speaker 2: expect a better game than Monday night is showing we can. 173 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,199 Speaker 1: Always count on you for pro sective Fred. It's got 174 00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: to stop in that locker room somewhere. You know you 175 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:25,600 Speaker 1: can coach it, and you can you teach it on 176 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:28,080 Speaker 1: the board, you can do everything you want, and the scheme, 177 00:09:28,480 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 1: everything's under the microscope this week. I get that. But 178 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: at some point the players cross that threshold and they've 179 00:09:34,760 --> 00:09:35,960 Speaker 1: got to go play better too. 180 00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: They gotta play better. They got to catch it, they 181 00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 2: gotta throw it better. They got to make the right cuts. 182 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:49,440 Speaker 2: You gotta rush better, got to cover better. Yeah, but 183 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:50,240 Speaker 2: you gotta win. 184 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: Gotta win. Fred. Will talk to you again a little 185 00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: bit later. Thanks, all right. JP.
