Speaker 1: On Monday.
Speaker 2: We talked a lot about the issues that this team has,
Speaker 2: but we still have to be confident going into Week three.
Speaker 2: So what are you most confident in about this team
Speaker 2: as they face the Texas?
Speaker 3: The quarterback, the offense as well.
Speaker 2: Welcome in to jag Dam on this Wednesday and Kai
Speaker 2: Nannie Stephens in here with Brian Sexton, John Oser, and
Speaker 2: as I mentioned, we're turning the page today. We're going
Speaker 2: to talk positive all day on Wednesday. I've decided because
Speaker 2: we kind of went in on it a little bit
Speaker 2: on Monday and the sky is not falling. Things are
Speaker 2: okay because you guys still mention what you're most confident
Speaker 2: in is the issue we were most concerned about.
Speaker 3: When you said that was your question, I thought, where
Speaker 3: do I want to go with this? Do you want
Speaker 3: to talk about the linebackers? Don't want to talk about
Speaker 3: the secondary, the defense that's played so well, Evan Ingram,
Speaker 3: the receivers. There's really a little bit on the interior
Speaker 3: of the offensive line, there's some concern, But other than that,
Speaker 3: I think this team can turn it around pretty quickly.
Speaker 4: Well.
Speaker 5: History shows us that these players on offense are good.
Speaker 5: Doug Peterson's offense over the course of time and the
Speaker 5: Chiefs offense. Frankly, it's very similar. Produces, it works. I
Speaker 5: think Trevor Lawrence is a good player. We've seen that
Speaker 5: so over seventeen games. They are going to be a
Speaker 5: good offense.
Speaker 3: At least. Neither one of us, said Logan Cook, even
Speaker 3: though he's the best punter in the league. So who
Speaker 3: wouldn't have confidence in him? But there was a time
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty twenty one where he would have said,
Speaker 3: hey man, Logan Cook, best player on the team.
Speaker 2: It's dire times when you're going to the punter. Although
Speaker 2: we do love you, Logan Cook. No nothing against him.
Speaker 2: We love you, and we love the banana ball and
Speaker 2: all of that. Let's get into our big things today,
Speaker 2: because why not.
Speaker 1: We're turning the page. That's our first big.
Speaker 2: Thing today because, as I mentioned, what happened in week
Speaker 2: two against the Chiefs hopefully is an isolated incident. Yes
Speaker 2: you have to watch the tape, Yes you have to
Speaker 2: learn from it, but we got to move on.
Speaker 1: Mentally.
Speaker 2: That team meets to move on too, because, as we discussed,
Speaker 2: at certain points, if you don't, you know, turn the
Speaker 2: page and move on to the next game you have
Speaker 2: ahead of you, then things can spiral, and that's when
Speaker 2: we would become really concerned. Brian, do you feel that
Speaker 2: the team is in the right place to move forward
Speaker 2: this week? And I kind of put this behind them.
Speaker 3: I do, And you know, I talked on Monday a
Speaker 3: little bit about how I thought last week that Doug
Speaker 3: Peterson came into his Wednesday press conference, he wasn't himself.
Speaker 3: He was absolutely himself on Monday. There's an old action
Speaker 3: in the NFL. Don't let him beat you twice. You know,
Speaker 3: it's one thing to get beat, especially by the defending
Speaker 3: Super Bowl champs, but don't let the hangover of a
Speaker 3: poor performance put you in peril of losing to the
Speaker 3: Texans the next week. And it was clear to me
Speaker 3: from the moment that Doug started talking on Monday that
Speaker 3: he had his focus and thus the team's focus in
Speaker 3: the right place.
Speaker 5: I think they are. I also think it's not It's
Speaker 5: not something that you can assume. And I guess what
Speaker 5: I mean is this last year they were two and
Speaker 5: six and then sort of had to punch their way
Speaker 5: back into the postseason. So at no point have they
Speaker 5: really been considered a good team, and then sort of
Speaker 5: had a body blow and had an early season.
Speaker 4: This is new form.
Speaker 5: I guess my point. They're favored in this game. They
Speaker 5: believe they ought to win. They're playing a young team
Speaker 5: that they quote ought to beat. They have been in
Speaker 5: a situation before, and it's a division game, so it's big.
Speaker 5: I hate the word trap game, but if anything fit,
Speaker 5: you know, not trap, whatever, but they have never really
Speaker 5: done this thing where they've sort of proven okay, we're better.
Speaker 3: Trap would fit, though. I mean, I think trap would
Speaker 3: have fit this week if if they had beaten Sure,
Speaker 3: if they had beaten the Chiefs, then you could say
Speaker 3: there's a trap. I think if anything else, it's the
Speaker 3: reverse of that. This week there is a hyper focus
Speaker 3: with the loss of Kansasity. And look, we said this
Speaker 3: on Monday. It's one thing to lose to Kansasity. They're
Speaker 3: the defending world champions. Patrick Mahomes is the best player
Speaker 3: in the league. There's no disgrace in that. The hangover
Speaker 3: effect here is that the offense just looks so out
Speaker 3: of sync, and we expected the offense to not look
Speaker 3: that way, right. We didn't expect them to lose the
Speaker 3: weight that they did. But John, I think you wrote
Speaker 3: this a couple of times. You know, they had a
Speaker 3: shot with five minutes left in the red zone of
Speaker 3: the Chiefs and they just didn't get it done. It
Speaker 3: wasn't like they weren't even in a position to win
Speaker 3: the game, and they played very poorly on offense. So
Speaker 3: there's a lot of reasons to believe that they will
Speaker 3: be ready to go.
Speaker 4: Good teams handle this thing.
Speaker 3: Yes, absolutely they do.
Speaker 2: It will be very telling. Our next big thing is
Speaker 2: South setup. We mentioned it a little bit, but this
Speaker 2: is the second divisional game in three weeks that they've had.
Speaker 2: So these games, you know, they almost count double, right,
Speaker 2: So these are going to set them up to get
Speaker 2: where they want to be.
Speaker 1: In the postseason.
Speaker 2: If you can win your divisional games, the other stuff
Speaker 2: will come. And that is part of why we don't
Speaker 2: want them overlooking this week, John, I know that sometimes
Speaker 2: the Texans, I guess a division opponent, anybody has a
Speaker 2: little bit of a buggaboo with them, But things on
Speaker 2: paid should play out well again Houston.
Speaker 5: Well, as I said Monday, I'm not a big believer
Speaker 5: that teams in the past have had the Jaguars number,
Speaker 5: because in the past, everybody had the Jaguars numbers the players,
Speaker 5: they haven't been as good as teams. This is so
Speaker 5: that sort of thing I don't think really applies to
Speaker 5: this bunch. I think this goes back to what the
Speaker 5: theme of the week is. It's a game that everybody
Speaker 5: would say, and even players they are, they ought to win.
Speaker 4: You ought to handle business.
Speaker 5: It ought to There's no easy games in the NFL,
Speaker 5: but you ought to know it.
Speaker 4: By five minutes left, that is the better team. You think.
Speaker 4: That's what they are, It's what they're supposed to be.
Speaker 4: They got to do it.
Speaker 3: Now. Here's the hang up. This was a game the
Speaker 3: Jaguars were supposed to win last year in Week five
Speaker 3: and Davis Mills as their starting quarterback. By all accounts,
Speaker 3: they were not as talented, but they're not as talented
Speaker 3: now they weren't then, and the Jaguars couldn't score a
Speaker 3: touchdown and lost thirteen to six. The quarterback had a
Speaker 3: terrible day. He made an awful throw into the end zone,
Speaker 3: one that probably got him focused on playing better football. So, yes,
Speaker 3: the Jaguer should win this game. They should have won
Speaker 3: this game last year. This john is a very big
Speaker 3: test in the sense that this is that game, win
Speaker 3: the games. If you're a good team, you win the
Speaker 3: games you're supposed to. And this might be the first
Speaker 3: time we've seen that.
Speaker 5: I think they're a different team than they were this
Speaker 5: time last year. They got to show expectations.
Speaker 2: Our final big thing is going to be anger management,
Speaker 2: part of turning the pages, using that frustration that we
Speaker 2: saw a lot of in the locker room and postgame
Speaker 2: with Doug Peterson as well, turning that frustration into production
Speaker 2: and turning that into something because you can't just be
Speaker 2: mad about it.
Speaker 1: You have to fix it, right.
Speaker 2: So, Brian, we talked a lot about how they're able
Speaker 2: to do that with Doug Peterson at the Helm, because
Speaker 2: I think he's that kind of coach that can use
Speaker 2: that to motivate his team.
Speaker 3: Look at and I don't want to intimate that they're
Speaker 3: not working hard and they're not working long hours, but
Speaker 3: you know that excellence is generally achieved by doing a
Speaker 3: little bit more than others think is wise, right, by
Speaker 3: caring a little bit more than other people believe is necessary.
Speaker 3: It's that little bit more. Twenty more minutes on the
Speaker 3: iPad instead of twenty minutes on Instagram, right, probably makes
Speaker 3: a difference this week in somebody's game. It's not about
Speaker 3: playing angry. It's about using the frustration to be smarter,
Speaker 3: to do a little bit extra, something a little bit
Speaker 3: different in your preparation that gives you back that focus
Speaker 3: and gives you the edge just a little bit. Right.
Speaker 3: There's a great motivational speaker, Anthony Robbins, and he talks
Speaker 3: about two millimeters. It's just two millimeters on a turn
Speaker 3: of the wrench makes an amazing amount of difference for them.
Speaker 3: This week, it's about finding the two millimeters and getting
Speaker 3: sharpened again.
Speaker 4: I'm gonna kind of go the other way. I think
Speaker 4: it is necessary to channel it.
Speaker 5: I think Doug's challenge this week a little bit is
Speaker 5: they If there was a theme out of the Chiefs game,
Speaker 5: it's that he thought they were maybe trying a little
Speaker 5: too hard at the big moments to make a play
Speaker 5: to be the guy. I think offensively, at least, it
Speaker 5: very much sounded to me on Monday like his emphasis
Speaker 5: this week is going to.
Speaker 4: Be, Look, we've got the players to do this.
Speaker 5: Everybody doesn't have to score an eighty or a touchdown
Speaker 5: on every play, Trevor, you don't necessarily have to score
Speaker 5: that touchdown in the red zone. You can hand it
Speaker 5: to Travis four times. At no point did you get
Speaker 5: a vibe from Doug on Monday that they didn't care.
Speaker 4: It was more, look, we're good. Just let the game
Speaker 4: come to you.
Speaker 3: And what you just said could be the two millimeters right,
Speaker 3: figuring out to hand the ball off four times, whatever
Speaker 3: that might be.
Speaker 2: Yes, just small things, little things, execution as we said.
Speaker 3: Right, and or calming down right yep, knowing that you're
Speaker 3: good as opposed to we got to go beat the
Speaker 3: Chiefs so that everybody knows that we're good.
Speaker 2: No overreacting this week when they take on the Texans.
Speaker 2: All right, we're here on jag Zam presented by Jet
Speaker 2: Home Loans. Stay with us, coming back, We're going to
Speaker 2: talk about the AFC South and what's going on around
Speaker 2: the division. For ten years, Dreambinder's Homes has been proud
Speaker 2: to call themselves the official homebuilder jas Wars. Visit Dreamfindershomes
Speaker 2: dot com for all of the available inventory and go jags.
Speaker 2: Welcome back into jags Am here in the Hyundai Studios
Speaker 2: presented by Jet Home Loans today and we're going to
Speaker 2: go around the AFC South because we want to keep
Speaker 2: you guys up to day and on what's going on
Speaker 2: in the division so that you can kind of see
Speaker 2: where the Jags stand with things. So there's three teams
Speaker 2: that are one in one in the division right now,
Speaker 2: and there's one team that's ozho and two and that
Speaker 2: would be Houston, the team coming to town. So, Brian,
Speaker 2: when you look at the Texans, we're going to get
Speaker 2: a little bit more into the specific game plan later
Speaker 2: in the week, but they're owing to They've got a
Speaker 2: rookie quarterback.
Speaker 1: What's been going on with them?
Speaker 3: Well, look, they've fallen behind by double digits in both
Speaker 3: of their first two games, to Baltimore last week to Indianapolis.
Speaker 3: They don't have the vertical playmakers that we've all come
Speaker 3: to know in Houston, and when they fallen behind, they've
Speaker 3: had to abandon the run and it's left CJ. Stroud
Speaker 3: to throw the ball. John. He threw the ball forty
Speaker 3: four times in the lost to Baltimore. Look thrown forty
Speaker 3: times for rookie is a formula for loss, and then
Speaker 3: forty seven last week. He's completing about sixty six percent
Speaker 3: of his passes and he has no interceptions. So he's
Speaker 3: doing some good things. It's just he's found himself in
Speaker 3: a position where he's had to do it all himself,
Speaker 3: and that's tough to do in this league.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all indications are that he's the real deal. They
Speaker 5: think they found their guy. The issue, the main issue
Speaker 5: there is they feel like they're probably a year away
Speaker 5: in terms of draft, in terms of free agency, from
Speaker 5: sort of getting back on the plane where they have
Speaker 5: a chance to compete. The second issue is of their
Speaker 5: offensive line. They have one starter healthy right now that
Speaker 5: they've got projected, and it's sometimes you see that and
Speaker 5: they're playing okay with this bunch. They're giving up a
Speaker 5: lot of his on the quarterback and a lot of sacks.
Speaker 5: There was a fumble, a very key fumble last week
Speaker 5: for stra This is the time where the Jaguars need
Speaker 5: to take advantage of this and feel like the stronger team.
Speaker 3: He's been sacked eleven times, the most in the league,
Speaker 3: and he stumbled three times and lost two of those.
Speaker 3: So they have extra draft picks and cap room from
Speaker 3: the Deshaun Watson trade in the next year. It won't
Speaker 3: take long. He looks like he might be the real deal, too.
Speaker 1: Time to start building around him.
Speaker 2: We'll get into a little bit of the rookie quarterbacks
Speaker 2: in the division later on in the show. We're going
Speaker 2: to go to the Colts now, who got a win
Speaker 2: against the Texans last week, and they did it without
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson for much of that game because he left
Speaker 2: with a concussion. Went to the concussion protocol and Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 2: our old friend was in the game, and they were
Speaker 2: able to tick down the Texans and get a win.
Speaker 1: So they're at one in one as well.
Speaker 4: John.
Speaker 2: Is Anthony Richardson going to deal with some of those
Speaker 2: issues being a running quarterback? Is this going to be
Speaker 2: part of the problem or can he adapt to the
Speaker 2: NFL style and protect himself a little bit more?
Speaker 4: Well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Trevor after the game in the opener said, hey,
Speaker 5: protect yourself.
Speaker 4: I'm summarizing.
Speaker 3: I wasn't there, but.
Speaker 4: This is a league of big, strong, fast, defensive players. Uh. Historically,
Speaker 4: when quarterbacks.
Speaker 5: Puts themselves in position to get hit a lot, it
Speaker 5: over time shortens their career. This is a little bit different.
Speaker 5: He's gotten hurt twice in two games. Yeah, probably a
Speaker 5: little bit of flukey in that. You can't say, okay, well,
Speaker 5: that's gonna happen all the time. Guys have played this
Speaker 5: way and played ten or eleven years. But it's one
Speaker 5: reason the league over time, you know, typically likes guys
Speaker 5: who stand in the pocket.
Speaker 4: Even in this day of of of of.
Speaker 5: Running quarterbacks, teams would still prefer a guy who can
Speaker 5: protect himself because of the longevity of the position. It's
Speaker 5: changing a little bit, but deep down in the gut
Speaker 5: of this league, you you always get worried when your quarterback.
Speaker 4: Takes a lot of hits. Uh.
Speaker 3: Mitschew came in, as you mentioned, it was eleven to fourteen.
Speaker 3: I mean, typical Minshew. He's not gonna throw the ball
Speaker 3: down the field, but he completed it enough passes and
Speaker 3: took advantage of the league that they have. Uh. Teams
Speaker 3: know how to prepare for Gardner. Minshew very different than
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson. So if the Colts, who are built around
Speaker 3: Richardson have to rely on Minshew, they're going to struggle.
Speaker 3: They just don't. They just aren't built to be that
Speaker 3: team right now. Although Shane Steichen said he was very
Speaker 3: impressed with Minshew, and it's hard to argue. I mean,
Speaker 3: Minch's a guy who comes in and he gets the
Speaker 3: job done. In situations where it looks bleak, you lose
Speaker 3: your starting quarterback.
Speaker 5: There was a feeling up there that if Minshew had
Speaker 5: played all season and started, they're probably a seven win
Speaker 5: team and probably a five win team with Richardson, you
Speaker 5: you know, he's a little more.
Speaker 4: Ready to be okay.
Speaker 5: Now, it's just that Richardson they think has the ability
Speaker 5: to be great long term.
Speaker 4: So why Dylan Gardner has that great long.
Speaker 1: Term and he needs the reps for sure.
Speaker 2: Hopefully gets back on the field quickly, and then we're
Speaker 2: going to head over to the Titans now because they
Speaker 2: are one in one as well. They came back against
Speaker 2: the Chargers to get their first win of the season.
Speaker 2: As they went into that game oh to one, Tannehill
Speaker 2: bounced back. Obviously, they kept him in town because they
Speaker 2: want to kind of keep this all going. Ryan, we
Speaker 2: talked about this, but Henry not exactly that. Derrick Henry
Speaker 2: were just same.
Speaker 3: No, they've got to have Tannehill. It appears tanner Hill
Speaker 3: led the league last week in yards per attempt. He
Speaker 3: was over ten point three yards per attempt and led
Speaker 3: them down. If you have played very well a week
Speaker 3: after throwing three interceptions in their loss to the Saints.
Speaker 3: The problem for the Titans is going to be do
Speaker 3: they have the guns the receivers to be able to
Speaker 3: get down the field like that. Derrick Henry is second
Speaker 3: in the league in rushing attempts, but he is thirty
Speaker 3: fifth in the league in yards per attempt. So you
Speaker 3: can see that maybe all the years of all the
Speaker 3: carries are starting to wear on him. You know, in
Speaker 3: his career, he's never averaged below four point two yards
Speaker 3: per carry, so three point five is pretty low for him.
Speaker 3: If the Titans are going to compete, they're going to
Speaker 3: need their quarterback. They can get some days from Derrick Henry,
Speaker 3: but if they don't have Tannehill, it appears that they're
Speaker 3: going to struggle.
Speaker 5: Yeah. I always say count these guys at John Peril.
Speaker 5: I mean, everybody sort of said at the beginning of
Speaker 5: the season the Jaguars, we're gonna run away with this division.
Speaker 4: I really bought into that.
Speaker 5: I get that maybe Derrick Henry isn't Dereck Henry superman.
Speaker 5: They beat the Chargers last week, and I think the
Speaker 5: Chargers are good. They figure out a way to win.
Speaker 5: The Jaguars are gonna need to get a double digit
Speaker 5: number to be away from this tame this year.
Speaker 3: The key for them is their quarterback playing well. And
Speaker 3: if he does, it'll it'll give Derick Henry a chance
Speaker 3: to have some room to run.
Speaker 2: Seems like a coin flip though, whether we're gonna see
Speaker 2: good Tannehill or bad Tannahill.
Speaker 3: The says, so we'll have thirty five years old.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have to see all right, Stay with us

Speaker 3: like a different.
Speaker 2: Different this this exam, we're gonna do this or that today,
Speaker 2: presented by Price dot Com. John, I know you love
Speaker 2: the word trap game, but how's that involved in you
Speaker 2: this or that today?
Speaker 4: Well? Is this a trap game?
Speaker 5: Which or I think it's the other word I hate
Speaker 5: with a statement game is you know, I don't like
Speaker 5: either one, but I do believe if you can call
Speaker 5: anything a division statement, Brian, I think this might be
Speaker 5: a week to do that. To me, this is a
Speaker 5: game good teams win if you're going to control your division.
Speaker 5: This is the kind of game you get early. You're
Speaker 5: playing at home. He's a team you ought to beat.
Speaker 5: It just ought to be one of those twenty eight thirteen.
Speaker 5: You're not worried about it in the in the last
Speaker 5: five minutes of the game. If it doesn't go that way,
Speaker 5: it's not a reason to panic. But that's what you'd
Speaker 5: like to see out of this team that you believe
Speaker 5: is going to be, that you believe is on the upswing,
Speaker 5: that you believe is going to be one of those
Speaker 5: teams moving forward, those kind of teams do that this week.
Speaker 3: I know you don't like the idea. Also, I don't
Speaker 3: like very much. No I know of a team having
Speaker 3: the other team's number, but the Texans have. I mean,
Speaker 3: in two thousand and two they came in as an
Speaker 3: expansion team and Jermaine Lewis returned to punt for a
Speaker 3: touchdown and the expansion Texans beat the Jaguars in their
Speaker 3: first ever meeting. And then, of course, last year, there
Speaker 3: was no reason why the Jaguars should lose to Davis
Speaker 3: Mills and that bunch of guys, but they did. So
Speaker 3: there have been moments where it's happened. So I'm gonna
Speaker 3: say that this is a Yeah, I don't like trap
Speaker 3: game out there's a division statement, and it better be mean.
Speaker 3: I'm the guy who said I think the Jags sweep
Speaker 3: the division in my hot take before the season. Right,
Speaker 3: you don't need to kill them. You don't need to
Speaker 3: win by thirty seven points to you know, to establish it.
Speaker 3: But come out win the ball game. Don't make it close,
Speaker 3: you know, don't be in the fourth quarter wondering, hey,
Speaker 3: we're gonna get this one or not.
Speaker 1: I think it was later in the year.
Speaker 2: I might go a trap game because I think sometimes
Speaker 2: these division opponents can sneak up on you a little
Speaker 2: bit when it's a game you're supposed to win. But
Speaker 2: I think because we're only in the third week, I'll
Speaker 2: go a statement win and I think hopefully they can
Speaker 2: show their best version of their offense, so that we
Speaker 2: have high hopes heading into London.
Speaker 3: If it's a trap game after a loss, you got
Speaker 3: a good.
Speaker 1: Team, let's hope. So I think they're good, Brian, what's
Speaker 1: here and this or that for this week?
Speaker 3: Well, which quarterback would you rather have? The Jaguars will
Speaker 3: see the two rookies in the division in the first
Speaker 3: three weeks, and we saw Anthony Richardson and John You
Speaker 3: alluded to him. His traits, his physical characteristics give him
Speaker 3: the chance to be great. And we saw a very
Speaker 3: limited game planner opening day. The executed it pretty well
Speaker 3: and he's higg and fast and guys have to account
Speaker 3: for him when he starts to get outside the pocket.
Speaker 3: And then you've got CJ. Stroud, who is by all
Speaker 3: accounts of pocket passer. You know, scrambled three times last
Speaker 3: week for a grand total of one yard. It's not
Speaker 3: what he wants to do. He's a guy who can
Speaker 3: stand back there. He's sixty six percent accurate in terms
Speaker 3: of his completion percentage and seems very comfortable there. So
Speaker 3: which of these two quarterbacks do you think has a
Speaker 3: better chance long term to be that guy that gets
Speaker 3: his team into the playoffs.
Speaker 4: Of Stroud without Quick.
Speaker 5: I mean, but I'm a pocket passer guy, so I
Speaker 5: think Straud is out of question because I think he'll
Speaker 5: be healthy for the long term and he's already sixty
Speaker 5: six percent under the dress he's been in all indications
Speaker 5: or he's he's on his way to being that, And
Speaker 5: I think with Richardson has a lot of questions.
Speaker 2: And that's just a gamble, right, Like Anthony Richardson, we
Speaker 2: don't know, we haven't seen a ton of him, and
Speaker 2: now he's been hurt in these two games so far
Speaker 2: in the NFL season. So I would like to be
Speaker 2: a gambling woman and pick Richardson, but I think I'm
Speaker 2: gonna Well.
Speaker 3: The one thing it's worthy of pointing out is that
Speaker 3: Richardson isn't an offense like Jalen Hurts. If you saw
Speaker 3: the Vikings Eagles game last Thursday night, when they couldn't
Speaker 3: get the passing game going, AJ Brown was out of sync.
Speaker 3: They just started handing the ball off and DeAndre Swift
Speaker 3: had a big day, and when the Vikings collapsed on Swift,
Speaker 3: well here comes Jalen Hurts. I mean, I do think
Speaker 3: that the Colts have an opportunity to have something. I
Speaker 3: don't know how long it will last if you can't
Speaker 3: stay healthy, But I like Richardson. I'm intrigued by him.
Speaker 2: It would be so cool to see them if they
Speaker 2: had a running game going right now with the Colts going, we.
Speaker 3: Might we might see that in October, because yeah, that's
Speaker 3: when the running back Jonathan Taylor is back. He'll be
Speaker 3: back in action. You would think somewhere.
Speaker 1: It'll be playing somewhere.
Speaker 3: When we see them, Yes, September fifteenth.
Speaker 2: Yes, okay, let's hope, so all right for my list
Speaker 2: or that this week? We want to see the offense
Speaker 2: bounce back. But who would you like to see a
Speaker 2: bigger day from on Sundays? At the running backs or
Speaker 2: the wide receivers. Now we're kind of getting on both
Speaker 2: sides of the issue the other day. But Brian, when
Speaker 2: you look at that, which one do you want to see?
Speaker 3: Running backs? I want to see the running game get started.
Speaker 3: Fred Taylor, of course, he's always going to want to
Speaker 3: see the running game. But he and I had a
Speaker 3: long conversation about this on Sunday afternoon, and he said,
Speaker 3: why have they given up the run? With an offensive
Speaker 3: line that is struggling to keep Trevor clean, and they
Speaker 3: were on Sunday, and to a large degree, they were
Speaker 3: on Opening Day in Indianapolis. The running game slows all
Speaker 3: that down, It calms everything down, and it gives Trevor
Speaker 3: more time in the pocket to get the receiver started.
Speaker 3: So from my perspective, I know this is a team
Speaker 3: that's going to use the pass to set up the run.
Speaker 3: I know that's where it's headed. But on Sunday, I'd
Speaker 3: like to see them use the run to set up
Speaker 3: the pass until everything settles down.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Fred's gonna have a long wait because this is
Speaker 5: and it's not that Doug doesn't like the run. It
Speaker 5: says that this team does not believe, with this style
Speaker 5: of offense that you turn around and just hand the
Speaker 5: ball off if the numbers aren't there. So a lot
Speaker 5: of the passes that they use, you know, Brian, a
Speaker 5: lot of the passes they use, they don't believe that
Speaker 5: running into a stacked box is it.
Speaker 4: Is the way to win. So anyway I digress, I.
Speaker 5: Guess I'll go the other way and say I'd like
Speaker 5: to see a big game from the receivers because I
Speaker 5: feel like with this team, if you get some receivers
Speaker 5: going and feel like that's clicking. I think they feel
Speaker 5: like that's their identity and they feel better about themselves.
Speaker 5: So I'd love to see the run too, But I'll
Speaker 5: use that argument not thinking that there's a huge difference
Speaker 5: between which I like to see.
Speaker 3: Well, just one more benefit though to the run, and
Speaker 3: that is if this offensive line they haven't played well,
Speaker 3: they've heard that they haven't played well. I don't care
Speaker 3: whether you're a pass blocking line or run blocking line.
Speaker 3: There's gotta be a toughness and a nastiness to you.
Speaker 3: And I think they're on I think they're back on
Speaker 3: their heels a little bit, especially the interior three. I
Speaker 3: think by running the bowl, who's a Bear Bryant. It
Speaker 3: always talked about thevantages of run blocking in practice. I
Speaker 3: just I'd like to see them run the ball, just
Speaker 3: to get that offensive line in gear. But I do
Speaker 3: understand that the way that Doug and Press are going
Speaker 3: to build this offense, it's going to be based on
Speaker 3: the past. But this week, I think maybe the run and.
Speaker 1: I think we might see a little bit of both.
Speaker 2: To be fair with you, just enough run to get
Speaker 2: the wide receivers open and get them going and that
Speaker 2: high flying offense that we hope and expect them to be.
Speaker 2: Say with us coming up, we'll preview the rest of
Speaker 2: the week, and they have a sneak peek.

Speaker 2: Just trying to get back on track.
Speaker 5: I should have a foyer on the ozone podcast on
Speaker 5: Thursday to post on Friday, so look forward to that.
Speaker 3: I'm going to spend some time with you offensive a
Speaker 3: defensive lineman this week and Breston Buckner for a pregame
Speaker 3: radio interview and talk of by establishing the line of scrimmage,
Speaker 3: the defense has done a very good job. The offensive
Speaker 3: line obviously has some ground to make up, but I
Speaker 3: think That's a big story for this team going forward,
Speaker 3: not just this week. Next week you see b Jon
Speaker 3: Robinson in Atlanta, in London, and I mean, you've got
Speaker 3: to be the lines are where it is all built
Speaker 3: and just kind of get caught up a couple of
Speaker 3: weeks into the season.
Speaker 1: I love coach Buckner.
