15
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: our radio Monday afternoon. After a methodical win over the

16
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: Houston Texans in Week seventeen. After Week eleven, the Jaguars

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: had a three and seven record, while the Titans were

18
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,440
Speaker 1: seven and three. Since then, the Jags have gone five

19
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: and one. The Titans have now dropped six in a row,

20
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: Tony Basselli, Pete Frisco and I discussed Monday afternoon. We're

21
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,880

Speaker 1: social media, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Tony Vasselli and Pete

23
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: Frisco joining us now after another Jaguars win back to five, Pete,

24
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: just like you knew all along? Well, I know somebody

25
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: on this show who knew it, and it wasn't me.

26
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,319
Speaker 1: I mean, I could admit it. I didn't. I didn't

27
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,959
Speaker 1: see it coming, and Vasselli did. I gotta give him

28
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: credit for that. You weren't a believe or Pete, you

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 1: weren't a believe or No, I wasn't. I don't think

30
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,680
Speaker 1: you deep down you were either. You're just trying to

31
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:44,919
Speaker 1: make content for the show. No, actually I saw I

32
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: really I was a believer in more than anything. Was Trevor. Well,

33
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 1: yeah I was too. That's my point. He was playing

34
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: at a level with the record, with the schedule they had,

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 1: especially after they beat the Ravens. I thought that Cowboys

36
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: game would be tough, um, but when he came out

37
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:01,600
Speaker 1: the way he was playing, you know, you had to

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: win a shootout. You won the football game. What I

39
00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: love about what they've done, Pete is they've won games

40
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: the way they needed to. You know, you had a gritty,

41
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 1: tough win against Baltimore, you laid an egg against Detroit,

42
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: but then here comes Dallas and you know you have

43
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 1: to win to shootout? Were they going to win a shootout?

44
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 1: Then you go up to New York and you know

45
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ugly and you just gotta play smart,

46
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:23,160
Speaker 1: don't turn it over. Be smart. You know you gotta

47
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: struggling Jets offense, get a lead and just hold on

48
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:29,240
Speaker 1: to it. And then in the Texans, they didn't play good.

49
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 1: By the way, if you look at the tape, I

50
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: don't think they played a great game, which I love

51
00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: because they played then you know when you don't, when

52
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,760
Speaker 1: you don't have your best and you can still win

53
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: that right now, it speaks to how bad the Texans are,

54
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, but also speaks to the status

55
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: of this team and where they are kind of their

56
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: growth and the evolution of the of growth. And I

57
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: think that's big. And you know, watching the tape, it

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 1: wasn't great, but they were smart. They did what they

59
00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: needed to do, and they guy to win against a

60
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: bad team setting up this week where now you can

61
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 1: play your best. And I actually think if Jacksonville plays

62
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: their best and Tennessee plays their best, jackson wins by

63
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,480
Speaker 1: two touchdowns. I agree, I agree, and their favorite by

64
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: six and a half. So if you go, if you

65
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,919
Speaker 1: says seven weeks ago that they'd be favored in Week

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: eight team playing in prime time by seven points or

67
00:03:24,040 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: a touchdown playing against a third team quarterback has only

68
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 1: been with the team for two weeks, that you have

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: your jas to go to the playoffs, I would have

70
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: told you you were nuts and you didn't even believe

71
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: that would be the case. Don't say you did. You

72
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: thought they'd make a run, but you didn't think this

73
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 1: would happen. This is you know, I didn't think Tennessee

74
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: would fall apart like this. Yeah, that's what six straight

75
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: and you know they're falling apart now. It doesn't it

76
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter if the Jacks don't take care of their

77
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 1: business though, too. They had to go win and they

78
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: have one, and now they set themselves up in a

79
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 1: great situation and so it's perfect and it's gonna be

80
00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: a great atmosphere. The one thing I'm disappointed, but I'm

81
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: disappointed the league a little bit, Pete. The fact that

82
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: they put this team on Saturday night instead of Sunday

83
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,240
Speaker 1: night to give an advantage to the Texans, I mean,

84
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: not to to the Titans, because now we have five

85
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: days arrest, they have eight, you know, so we're a

86
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: short week when they have a long week already. I

87
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: just thought that they should should have put the Jaguars

88
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: either at four pm on Sunday or primetime Sunday. But

89
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 1: Saturday night, I just is a competitive advantage to the Titans.

90
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,720
Speaker 1: Big advantage. It's a big advantage. I mean. And and

91
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: again this is, you know, the Jackson will have to

92
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:37,280
Speaker 1: prove to people that they're not the Jaguars anymore, right,

93
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 1: I mean, that's exactly what this is. They've been disrespected

94
00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,560
Speaker 1: for since they came in the league. And at some

95
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: point you got to prove to people that you don't

96
00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: deserve to have that disrespect. And and that's why I

97
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 1: think they put him in this spot. They should have

98
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,880
Speaker 1: been on primetime on Sunday night. But you know what

99
00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna put there. They're gonna put Aaron Rodgers in there,

100
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:57,680
Speaker 1: even though even though at least that's that's what I

101
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 1: think they'll do, but you know he's a our key guy.

102
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 1: Jacksonville doesn't have the market players, and Tennessee's falling apart

103
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: starting a third team quarterback. So there's no blitz and

104
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: glamour to this game. I get it from a network standpoint,

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: but the NFL could have stepped in here and said, hey,

106
00:05:11,240 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: wait a second, this isn't fair. But Tony, you can

107
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,760
Speaker 1: also spend it forward this way. If they play on Saturday,

108
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,159
Speaker 1: then they have the extra day for the playoff game

109
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: where they might not. Well, I gotta had that there

110
00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: after they win Saturday Night, Pete, They're gonna play Saturdays, right,

111
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: But if they had played on Sunday, then that's one

112
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,520
Speaker 1: less day they would act. So you get you get

113
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,240
Speaker 1: an extra day that way. So would you rather be

114
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 1: have less this way it is now and not have

115
00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,520
Speaker 1: the I think you having an extra day for the

116
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: postseason is better than not having it because I think

117
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: they went on Saturday. Anyway. I think they're a much

118
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: better team. I think that you know, the only thing

119
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: that could derail them is history. The ghost of Deepon's

120
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 1: past show up. That's the only thing that could derail them.

121
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our Radio Monday air's four to six pm

125
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 1: press conference, his final availability of game week. He and

126
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: the team understand the stakes Saturday night. Yeah, we understand.

127
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just the nature of this game, right.

128
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,320
Speaker 1: It's uh, it's win and you're in you know, both

129
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,920
Speaker 1: teams are in the same situation. Guys have been been

130
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: great this week. They've handled it well. You know. The

131
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: biggest thing for us obviously a little bit of a

132
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,840
Speaker 1: shorter week. Um, it's just the recovery aspect of it,

133
00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:32,360
Speaker 1: you know, and and and being as healthy as possible, um,

134
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,600
Speaker 1: you know for Saturday night. But yeah, guys have done

135
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:37,960
Speaker 1: a nice job of you know, the practices that we've

136
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,160
Speaker 1: had and the mental mental side of it there they're obviously,

137
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,600
Speaker 1: you know, gearing up and getting excited and they'll be

138
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 1: ready to go. Did you really stand it for a

139
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:54,960
Speaker 1: Tuesday the law And it's no. I think he was

140
00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: just using that. It's like in a you know, an analogy,

141
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: but no, it's Ah, didn't didn't have you I mean, listen,

142
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:05,760
Speaker 1: and we were two and six at one point, we

143
00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: were three and seven at one point, and you know,

144
00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:09,880
Speaker 1: there's a there's a time and a place where I

145
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: felt like, you know, as you message message the football team,

146
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 1: it's you know, our our goals were still in front

147
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: of us, even even back then, you know, and look

148
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 1: we were everybody in the division was chasing Tennessee. I

149
00:07:21,520 --> 00:07:23,400
Speaker 1: mean there were three or four games ahead of everybody,

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 1: you know there for a long time. And I just

151
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: had to to make sure that our guys understood that

152
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: everything is still in front of us. We just got

153
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: to play one game at a time and just just

154
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: focus on that one week. And you know, if we

155
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: did that, it would give us an opportunity to to

156
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,480
Speaker 1: be in week eighteen for you know, for all the

157
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: for all the marble. You've talked about this being a

158
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 1: young team that needed these kinds of experiences. Can you

159
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:46,640
Speaker 1: learn as much about your team through the week, how

160
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,960
Speaker 1: they prepare for this game as you can on Saturday night?

161
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Yes you can. Um, you know these are you know,

162
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: these are games that um, I mean they're playoff games, right,

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's just what exactly what they do is

164
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 1: call it what it is a playoff football game, and

165
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: you win, you keep going, and you know, with a

166
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: young football team, it's about how we handle the week,

167
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:10,760
Speaker 1: you know, because the emotions are going to run high

168
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,800
Speaker 1: and and you just gotta you just gotta just kind

169
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: of pace yourself throughout the course of the week and

170
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,160
Speaker 1: and just turn it loose, you know, Saturday night. But um,

171
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think the guys have have

172
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: really and felt that they've done a really good job

173
00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of days, you know, handling all that.

174
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: And this time of year, teams are beat up. Everybody

175
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: kind of knows who each other is as a football team.

176
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: How much does I mean, being hot momentum this time

177
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 1: of year and confidence really be the difference in a

178
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: football game. I mean it it's good to talk about,

179
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: but you still gotta go play, and you gotta play

180
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: against a good football team. And momentum streaks, wins, losses, whatever,

181
00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:51,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I mean, you just look at Tennessee

182
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: right there there in this game for a reason, and

183
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 1: they're they're playing for the same things we're playing for,

184
00:08:57,120 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: and and it's a little bit different, but you know,

185
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,400
Speaker 1: it doesn't really matter, you know, you uh, you come up,

186
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: you come out Saturday night. You gotta be ready to go,

187
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 1: and and you gotta play, and you gotta play with energy.

188
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: You gotta play, um, you know, excitable. You just gotta

189
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 1: you gotta do your job and and focus in on

190
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: on each play. In the locker room, they get it too,

191
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: quarterback Trevor Lawrence. Yeah, it feels good. You know, it

192
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,000
Speaker 1: feels good knowing you know what we had to do

193
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: to get here. But also job's not finished, you know,

194
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:28,400
Speaker 1: we have we have to win this game to get

195
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: in and then moving forward, we kind of we kind

196
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: of get what we are in every week, so you know,

197
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: we're embracing that. I think that's kind of how it's

198
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: been for us. Like I said before, it's been like

199
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 1: that for us for the past month really, So the

200
00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: team's responded well to that. And you know, I'm proud

201
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: of the situation we've put ourselves in. It's it wasn't

202
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: easy to get in this spot, especially the way we

203
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,080
Speaker 1: started the season. Um, and here we are with an

204
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,200
Speaker 1: opportunity to win the division, and this is the only

205
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 1: game that matters right now, and we were just putting

206
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: everything we have into just scoring one more point than

207
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: then that's all that matters, is winning the game. Wide

208
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: receiver Christian Kirk said, the message was consistent all season long,

209
00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: no matter how bad things got for us. You at

210
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: some point during the season, nobody lost hope or lost

211
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: sight of, you know, our end goals and that's to

212
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: make it to the postseason. And you know, we've always

213
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: talked about it the most important games or where the

214
00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,960
Speaker 1: division football games, and so as long as we do that,

215
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 1: we know we can give ourselves a chance. And you

216
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: know we've been able to, you know, get some division wins,

217
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 1: and you know it's some wins in our conference as well.

218
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,439
Speaker 1: That's kept us alive. And you know, also now he's

219
00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 1: just taking it, you know, one week at a time

220
00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: and planning to say a live tight endo. Evan Ingram

221
00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: had eleven catches for one d sixty two yards and

222
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: two touchdowns last time out against Tennessee in Week four team,

223
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,240
Speaker 1: but that's in the past. The coaches didn't really good

224
00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: job of just putting myself and a lot of other

225
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,120
Speaker 1: guys in position. When anybody has a big game like that, UM,

226
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: obviously it's credited to the preparation, you credited to the

227
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,640
Speaker 1: guys around UM that performance that that did their roles

228
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,079
Speaker 1: to to help prevail that. So, UM, I think it

229
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,880
Speaker 1: was just a great team effort. Um, and I just

230
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,560
Speaker 1: wanted to make players my number is called and UM,

231
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: I mean these guys are fighting for their life too.

232
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,120
Speaker 1: So UM, you know that last time we played them,

233
00:10:57,120 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 1: it was kind of you know, it was kind of

234
00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of the season and kind of creeping

235
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: towards the end. It's it's different this time. So, um,

236
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna come with their best and they're

237
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: and they're still a great team, are really good defense. Um,

238
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to We're gonna have to go out

00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:52,240
Speaker 1: challenge for us. It's gonna be a difficult, difficult game.

295
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:54,480
Speaker 1: They're a really good football team. You know, it's hard

296
00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: to beat teams twice, so you have to focus on

297
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: our execution and the things that we need to do.

298
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,319
Speaker 1: But we should enjoy it again, you know, in light

299
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: of recent news. Get to play a game that's a blessing,

300
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:09,240

308
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: a game like this when yeah, maybe that's a few

309
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:31,480
Speaker 1: weeks ago, there are a different squad. Now there's a

310
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 1: lot of guys with their injury report. Sure, yeah, but

311
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: it's alten. Also the National Football League, a lot of

312
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: guys step up. I remember vividly last year when I

313
00:14:39,360 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: wasn't a predominant starter, I would expect defensives to have

314
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 1: prepared when I went into a game, you know, if

315
00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,560
Speaker 1: someone went down or got hurt. So I give that

316
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,520
Speaker 1: healthy same respect two teams in the depth that they have. Um,

317
00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,520
Speaker 1: I know Josh Dops, you know personally in the type

318
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: of man, type of character that he is, and the

319
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: things that he's done not only his college career, but

320
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,240
Speaker 1: you know in the NFL as well, and you get

321
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,840
Speaker 1: to respect the talent they have and the coaching that

322
00:15:01,880 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: they have as well. So looking back I think you

323
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 1: could you should only look back to learn. You shouldn't

324
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,600
Speaker 1: look back to dwell. I think it's part of your

325
00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: ego and pride to think, oh, we beat this team once,

326
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: so we're gonna just do it again. That's not how

327
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,400
Speaker 1: the league works. You gotta earn it every week. You know,

328
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 1: you know that. I'm kind I'm aware of it. Yes,

329
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your answer. It all right? So

330
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,640
Speaker 1: crowd support. You mentioned the environment here is gonna be electric,

331
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: sold out crowd, standing room onely under the lights National TV.

332
00:15:29,480 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you guys have to be fired up for

333
00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: a big time Jaguar environment like this. Yeah. I think

334
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: that's one of the great things about playing here and

335
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:38,760
Speaker 1: Duvall is the fan base that we do have, you know,

336
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: and they they brought it in weeks past. I'm assuming

337
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: maybe it's gonna be a little bit different just because

338
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,200
Speaker 1: of you know, what's at stake. But I'm excited for

339
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 1: our fans to be a part of it. I am

340
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,400
Speaker 1: aware that it's supposed to be very, very sold out

341
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 1: and crazy and loud. So it's just fun. You can

342
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,480
Speaker 1: feel the energy around the city and people, you know,

343
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,800
Speaker 1: kids are ecstatic about it talking about it. You know,

344
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: I got neighbors and stuff who are just absolutely happy.

345
00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: So it's it's a blessing to be a part of

346
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: a game like this. Dougus talked about playing meaningful, meaningful

347
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: football and you know, November December, in January and and

348
00:16:14,640 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: here we are, So it's it's it's a blessing. Grateful

349
00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: catch the full Crown Royal water Break on Jaguar social

350
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: media let's go to offensive coordinator Press Taylor and his

351
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,520
Speaker 1: thoughts on a second meeting with the division rival Titans

352
00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:28,800
Speaker 1: were certainly are doing our best to put together a

353
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:30,280
Speaker 1: plan where we can move the football on the on

354
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: the ground if need be, and then doing what we

355
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 1: can to come up with complimentary passes, movement screens, plays,

356
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 1: or whatever that may be, just to put us in

357
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 1: the best position, put our players in the best position.

358
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: You know, we had some certain schemes that we we

359
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: wanted to try against them the first time that probably

360
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:44,560
Speaker 1: didn't shape out the way we hope they would, so

361
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of scrapped those, look for new ideas,

362
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,360
Speaker 1: go back to the drawing board a little bit to

363
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: come up with the best plan. Defensive coordinator Mike called

364
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 1: Well reflected on the last meeting between the teams in

365
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: Nashville when linebackers shot quarterman, blasted Derrick Henry and turn

366
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 1: the tide. In Week fourteen, in the first quarter, we

367
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 1: didn't play the way we were supposed to play, and

368
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: Shat came in and it was an opportunity for him

369
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,600
Speaker 1: to get on the field, and he got there and

370
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: he made a huge play for us. Momentum changing play

371
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,879
Speaker 1: and I think that did spark us and we've had

372
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: guys like that all year. Step up, you know, Dewey

373
00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: steps up, you know, even thinking about Smoot and Key,

374
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: just other guys step up in. You know, it's a

375
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 1: team where everybody has to pitch in and do their part,

376
00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: and when guys gets chances, uh, you know, we've been

377
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:27,600
Speaker 1: lucky they're being able to play well. All the press

378
00:17:27,640 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: conferences and locker room availability from the week available now,

379
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:34,520
Speaker 1: of course, on Jaguars dot com. Let's move now to

380
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime. Wednesday morning, the voice of the Tennessee Titans,

381
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: Mike Keith, joined Brian Saxon and John Osan for a

382
00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,960
Speaker 1: preview of the Titans and where they are mentally after

383
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: a six game slide. You know what's funny there there

384
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,439
Speaker 1: are two things that really jump out to me about

385
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: this club. But so I'm going to watch him practice

386
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:57,399
Speaker 1: last Monday and they're getting ready to play a Thursday

387
00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 1: night game. It was Tuesday actually there getting ready to

388
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: play a Thursday night game with Dallas, and there there

389
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: there's a lot of energy, there's a lot of excitement,

390
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,119
Speaker 1: and you're saying, wow, they've just lost to Houston and

391
00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: this didn't go well, and they've lost five in a row,

392
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: and how in the world are they gonna sort of

393
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,719
Speaker 1: get back up to play Thursday night against Dallas knowing

394
00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: that for them the game doesn't really have a lot

395
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: of meeting and knowing that they're going to be without

396
00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: a lot of their main guys, And what jumps out

397
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: when you look at the roster is they've played a

398
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: lot of people this year that were on their practice

399
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:42,280
Speaker 1: squad or somebody else's practice squad, and so these guys

400
00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:44,920
Speaker 1: are excited to get the opportunity. And then they went

401
00:18:44,960 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 1: out Thursday night against Dallas and gave a really nice

402
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: effort in a in a pretty tough situation. And then

403
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the second part of it is Joshua Dobbs really gave

404
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:01,960
Speaker 1: them a lift offensively anti offensively as well. And so

405
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:05,720
Speaker 1: I think it's kind of funny to have been in

406
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: the circumstances they've been in. These are a lot of

407
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: guys who feel like, now, hey, you've got something to

408
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: play for this week, You've got an opportunity. You feel

409
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:18,560
Speaker 1: like you have a quarterback who can sort of take

410
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: care of the business of running the offense. And so

411
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,959
Speaker 1: as I watched him practice yesterday, I again saw the

412
00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: same thing they are. They are not the lifeless team

413
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: that looks like they're They've got the surfboards on the

414
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: car and and the car is already running for the

415
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 1: off season. We'll see if it carries over means anything,

416
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: but it's it's very surprising when you consider where they are,

417
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: having lost six in a row, and what they look

418
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: like when they work, and how they played last Thursday night.

419
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,760
Speaker 1: It does not look like a team that has given up.

420
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's obviously always the topic when a team plays

421
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,320
Speaker 1: the Titans. He looked fine to me in the first

422
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 1: half of there in weeks routine. But you've seen this

423
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:03,520
Speaker 1: guy play his whole career. You see him playing now,

424
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 1: where is he in terms of explosiveness, in terms of

425
00:20:07,280 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: the kind of running back he is? John He's still

426
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,199
Speaker 1: the same guy, um, and I think that's been the

427
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: most impressive thing about his return this year. And it

428
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: was really sort of a fortunate thing for where where

429
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: the injury happened last year's when he came back to

430
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:25,399
Speaker 1: the playoffs, he was healed, and so he got to

431
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: spend the offseason not rehabbing, but getting in shape doing

432
00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: what Derrick Henry does, and he's come back and been

433
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,800
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry again. Um, I think what's gonna be nice

434
00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 1: for for him is that he's had the week off

435
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: to sort of let whatever bumps and bruises that you

436
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,000
Speaker 1: normally have this time of year healed. And so that's

437
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,600
Speaker 1: a good thing for the Titans. The key with him

438
00:20:49,640 --> 00:20:53,439
Speaker 1: and that game was the primary example, is they can't

439
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: get in a situation where he can't play in the

440
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,480
Speaker 1: second half meeting. He's not a third down back. We

441
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,239
Speaker 1: all know that if you get the lead on the

442
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 1: Titans and you put them in a difficult spot in

443
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,679
Speaker 1: the second half, he is essentially not a factor. And

444
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:13,560
Speaker 1: so can they get in a game where they can

445
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: keep using him all four quarters? And that's that's gonna

446
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 1: be one of the keys in all of this because John,

447
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: if you can, he still got the pop to do

448
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: what he does. And that's that's one of the biggest

449
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: keys for Saturday night for the Titans be able to

450
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:34,280
Speaker 1: use Derrick Henry for all four quarters. Jacks Drive Time Monday,

451
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 1: Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot Com and the

452
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars social channels Twitter and Facebook and YouTube. Let's wrap

453
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: the week with a preview of my weekly conversation with

454
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. I asked

455
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: him this week if he could believe we've arrived at

456
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,199
Speaker 1: a winner take all Week eight teen game for the

457
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: division title. Of course I can believe we're here. It's

458
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: the NFL. That's the beauty of it. I mean, you

459
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,000
Speaker 1: just keep playing. You never know when the momentum is

460
00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:03,639
Speaker 1: gonna turn in your favor. You know, you never know

461
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:06,879
Speaker 1: when you're gonna just hit that stretch of good ball play.

462
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: You'll see it in Spurs. We saw it in Spurts.

463
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, throughout the course of the season, we saw

464
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: this team go up, go down, go up or down

465
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: when some close, some closem And that's just the beauty

466
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 1: of the NFL if you just put it for a

467
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,760
Speaker 1: moment and look at the Minnesota Vikings. They're a team

468
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 1: who has won more games this season than anyone by

469
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:32,360
Speaker 1: very very margins, I mean three points, two points, come

470
00:22:32,400 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: back victories, and then they go get blowed out by

471
00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:38,879
Speaker 1: Green Bay a week ago. You know, so that's you know,

472
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,360
Speaker 1: a team who hasn't played well, but they're finding their

473
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: niche and they're gonna end up in the in the playoffs.

474
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: And uh, and I really think that as long as

475
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: Jacksonville stays confidence, stays, believes in the you know, believe

476
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 1: in each other, they're gonna be right on time where

477
00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: they need to be. Bred. Let's get into this man chop.

478
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:03,000
Speaker 1: And of course when you face Tennessee, the number one

479
00:23:03,040 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: priority is slowing down Derrick Henry. Well, he got his

480
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: yardage early in the last meeting back in Week fourteen,

481
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: first quarter especially, and then of course had the big

482
00:23:13,800 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: fumble right before halftime that flipped the game around a lot,

483
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,360
Speaker 1: and then they had to abandon the running game. Well,

484
00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,879
Speaker 1: if they have to abandon the running game this time

485
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:26,359
Speaker 1: it's Joshua Dobbs back there in the second career start,

486
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: that would be the perfect scenario for the Jaguars defense

487
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,920
Speaker 1: if they can get it out of Derrick Henry's hands altogether,

488
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:36,800
Speaker 1: of course, and that's that's gonna be the major focus here. Obviously,

489
00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: it's always the major focus with every other thirty one

490
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: teams around the league or other thirty teams around the league,

491
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 1: is to stop there Henry, which is not an easy task.

492
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: He had, you know, just about a hundred yards a

493
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:52,320
Speaker 1: halftime and then we found a way to make those

494
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:57,439
Speaker 1: adjustments create some turnover opportunities, which the then resulted in,

495
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: you know, us gaining the momentum. And that's what you

496
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: have to do. You gotta keep hammering away. You want

497
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: to have the Joshua uh Dip situation present itself. You know,

498
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:09,720
Speaker 1: he's been in the league for a while. Let's be honest,

499
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 1: he's a good player. Because he's in the NFL, he's

500
00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,040
Speaker 1: not a great player. You know, you want to get

501
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: after him. You want to make sure that you're your discipline,

502
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,439
Speaker 1: You're using your discipline, you're using your focus, because he

503
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,640
Speaker 1: can't run around. You know, we saw the second half

504
00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: of that game after they sat down Zack Wilson, I

505
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:30,160
Speaker 1: can't remember the t bow look alike that the guy

506
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:32,879
Speaker 1: with all the muscles, the backup quarterback. You know, he

507
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: came out running like a madman. And I believe that

508
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: the Titans will try to do some of that. You know,

509
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,720
Speaker 1: if I have to bet on you know the Titans

510
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,040
Speaker 1: game plan, what are they gonna do to try to

511
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: keep the Jaguars off face? I would be willing to

512
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,360
Speaker 1: say one, They're gonna always try to establage Derrick Henry too.

513
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:56,680
Speaker 1: I think they'll have some wildcats situations in formations for Derek,

514
00:24:56,720 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: and then really try to create some different leverages miss

515
00:24:59,800 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: mat matches. And the third thing, create some zone reads,

516
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,719
Speaker 1: some stuff that the Jets were doing. Give jobs an

517
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:10,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to use the strings, you know, use his assets,

518
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,679
Speaker 1: which are his legs more so than his arm. But

519
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,280
Speaker 1: he also was a good player. You know, he can run,

520
00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,399
Speaker 1: he can throw it out of pocket. So I I

521
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: like to I'm willing to say the Titans are going

522
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: to try something of that nature along those lines, just

523
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: to throw the defense off. The full conversation available Saturday
