1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Countdown to Kickoff continues ahead of the Jaguars and the

2
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:07,520
Speaker 1: Houston Texans in Week four, and you know it's AFC

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,160
Speaker 1: South season. When Andrew Catalan joins us on Countdown to Kickoff,

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: Great to see you, my friend. How are you.

5
00:00:13,119 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 2: That's great to be back in the division. JP, I've

6
00:00:15,640 --> 00:00:16,120
Speaker 2: missed it.

7
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,439
Speaker 1: Oh okay, well you're not going to miss it for

8
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: long because they got a big match up today, of course,

9
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,760
Speaker 1: the Texans and the Jaguars. Let's start with the Jaguars

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 1: start this season oh and three and then exposed on

11
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,479
Speaker 1: Monday Night football in front of the national audience that

12
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,080
Speaker 1: gave up forty seven on defense. The offense couldn't do anything,

13
00:00:35,120 --> 00:00:37,839
Speaker 1: and it's a struggle around here right now. Where do

14
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: you begin? What stood out the most about that loss

15
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:40,599
Speaker 1: of Monday Night?

16
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just feel having been in Buffalo so many times,

17
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 2: and I'm certainly not making excuses for the Jaguars, but

18
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: it's just a very difficult place to walk into on

19
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:53,519
Speaker 2: Monday night in prime time, and I feel like, and

20
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence has even said this, they had to get

21
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:58,920
Speaker 2: out on top early, and when they did not do that,

22
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 2: I feel like it can easily fall off quickly in Buffalo. Look,

23
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,479
Speaker 2: you can point to whatever you want. I mean, five

24
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,840
Speaker 2: touchdowns on the first five possessions, the Trevor Lawrence interception,

25
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:14,320
Speaker 2: the protection, the injuries. It was ugly. There's no other

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: way around it. The Jaguars have said as much. I

27
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,319
Speaker 2: think it's one of those games where you just got

28
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,199
Speaker 2: to quickly move on, and certainly they've had a short week.

29
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,720
Speaker 2: Maybe that helps them here against the Texans, because that

30
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:27,760
Speaker 2: game was a nightmare and they have to forget it

31
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 2: as quickly as they can.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,040
Speaker 1: There's a lot of football left in the season. However,

33
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,000
Speaker 1: they are back to back division games Houston this week.

34
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:38,120
Speaker 1: Of course, Indy's coming to Jacksonville next week. If for

35
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: some reason those don't go the right way for the Jaguars,

36
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:43,440
Speaker 1: they're oh five headed to London and two division losses,

37
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: five AFC losses. I mean, this is piling up in

38
00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: a hurry. It's crazy to say the season's on the

39
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: brink in week four, but it kind of is feeling

40
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: that way.

41
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: What do you think, Yeah, this is a big one,

42
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 2: there's no doubt about it. I Mean, it's so hard

43
00:01:57,080 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 2: for me to believe that last November I call the

44
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: Jaguars Texans game in Houston. Great game, Jacksonville won. I

45
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 2: remember walking out of that game thinking, wow, Jaguars are

46
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 2: eight and three, but this Texans team will be coming

47
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:12,359
Speaker 2: along nicely in the future. And then to think about

48
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 2: what has happened since that day and how the Jaguars

49
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,640
Speaker 2: only have one win since then Texans went on to

50
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 2: win the division. I mean, I think maybe if you're

51
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: a Jaguars fan, maybe everything comes full circle. Right You're

52
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: back in Houston where you had that beautiful win last

53
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: Thanksgiving weekend. They have to hope that some of those

54
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 2: good memories come back, because you're right, you know, you

55
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: hate to say the season is over in September, and

56
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: I don't believe it is. But this is a big

57
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,639
Speaker 2: game coming up here against the Texans.

58
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,320
Speaker 1: Andrew Cattle on CBS Sports with Us, have you seen

59
00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:50,280
Speaker 1: the Texans yet this year? And what stands out about Houston?

60
00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:53,920
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously CJ. Stroud is priority number one.

61
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had them week one, so I did get

62
00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: my AFC South taste week one when they were in Indianapolis.

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 2: Again the Colts is a great game, you know. I

64
00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: think the thing that stood out to me was what

65
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 2: Joe Mixon provided in the run game and really just

66
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 2: how much the run game sets up the rest of

67
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 2: their offense. And they really didn't have that Weeks two

68
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 2: against the Bears in Week three against the Vikings. So

69
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 2: I feel like for Houston, if they can get that

70
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:21,679
Speaker 2: run game going and then play off of that, they're

71
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,679
Speaker 2: a very dangerous offense when you don't have the run

72
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 2: game working. And last week Mixing didn't play cam Akers

73
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 2: was the starter. You know, their offense looks a little different,

74
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 2: but it's still a very talented team. They have really

75
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 2: good pieces on both sides of the football. To Neil Hunter,

76
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: I think is a fantastic addition, and I expect that

77
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 2: they'll be one of those teams we'll be talking about

78
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:46,640
Speaker 2: in January, you know, come playoff time. I think they're

79
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: that good.

80
00:03:48,040 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: How about the mindset of Tamiko Ryans a guy who's

81
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: played it, coached it for a long time, and now

82
00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: finally has his opportunity as the head man in charge.

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,120
Speaker 1: And what do you like about Tomiko?

84
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think the players love playing for him. He's

85
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: you know, I guess that the term players coach gets

86
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: thrown around a lot, but I feel like he is

87
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: very relatable for the player. He treats him well. There's

88
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 2: a passion, there's a fire about him that I think

89
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,919
Speaker 2: galvanizes this text in his team. And you know, I

90
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,480
Speaker 2: think anytime you're starting out as a head coach, there'll

91
00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,919
Speaker 2: be little things like whether it's challenges or strategy that

92
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: you take a close eye on. As he continues to

93
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: feel his way through that, I think he's a really

94
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 2: good coach.

95
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan with us Doug Peterson on the other side, right,

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,360
Speaker 1: I mean, just seeing his press conference the other day

97
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I guess the day after the team got

98
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 1: back from Buffalo. He still just seemed disheveled with everything

99
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: that had happened on Monday. I haven't quite seen him

100
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 1: like that in a little while. This is I don't

101
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: know if this is uncharted territory for Doug, but it's

102
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: not territory you want to be in, I'll put it

103
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: that way. But he's a guy that has done it before.

104
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: He's rallied teams in the past. I'm curious, you're what

105
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 1: thoughts on Doug Peterson's ability to do that and the

106
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:07,599
Speaker 1: challenge at hand compared to some in the past for him,

107
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: and how does he circle the wagons this time?

108
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,479
Speaker 2: Yeah. I have confidence in him. We've seen him do it.

109
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: I think he can do it again. I like what

110
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: he said in that press conference you mentioned on Tuesday

111
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: about enough with the speeches. There's no raw rah. We've

112
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:24,160
Speaker 2: got to go out and play, and they really just

113
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 2: have to kind of I think, I hate I know

114
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 2: it's cliche, but a good start would mean so much

115
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 2: for this team if they if the Texans get out

116
00:05:34,160 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 2: to a fourteen to nothing lead, you can just see

117
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,280
Speaker 2: the domino and the spiral of it. Jacksonville has to

118
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: come out establish who they are, get some points early,

119
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,159
Speaker 2: you know, get the guys going, and I think Doug Peterson,

120
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,600
Speaker 2: with his play calling and with his motivation, has a

121
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 2: chance to do that in this game. But I think

122
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 2: it's super important for them to get off to a

123
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,400
Speaker 2: good start, all right.

124
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: And through another new booth for you this year, you're

125
00:05:58,320 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: training some new analysts around. How's it been through a

126
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:01,680
Speaker 1: few weeks.

127
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, it's been fun. Obviously worked with Tiki

128
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: Barber last year, so we've got to know each other

129
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: pretty well. Matt Ryan was with us a season ago,

130
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 2: but now he's in the studio in New York. So

131
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,360
Speaker 2: we have Jason mccordy, who was a fantastic guy, getting

132
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 2: to know him a little bit. And what I really

133
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 2: like is you got Tiki going into the offensive part

134
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,960
Speaker 2: of it, but you'll hear a little more defense out

135
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:23,919
Speaker 2: of Jason, which you didn't really get as much with

136
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 2: Matt Ryan. So I really love the addition of Jason,

137
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: and we'll continue to grow throughout the year.

138
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 1: These mccordy guys are everywhere.

139
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: They're taking over the crazy. I mean, I've got Jason,

140
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: who's got a twin Devin. I've got Tiki who's got

141
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 2: ron Day. It's like, you know, one day they could

142
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 2: throw a curveball at me and I'm not sure I

143
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 2: would know who's next to me.

144
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: Now, that would be a pretty good practical joke for sure.

145
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,039
Speaker 1: Great to see you, Andrew. We'll do it again soon,

146
00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And enjoy the game, Sunday, appreciate it.

147
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 2: Thanks you too. JP
