1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,880
Speaker 1: Countdown to Kickoff continues. It is week eighteen and assigned

2
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:07,040
Speaker 1: for our weekly conversation with Pride of the Jaguars running

3
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: back finalist Freddy fred Taylor.

4
00:00:11,600 --> 00:00:15,920
Speaker 2: That's right, Finalist Freddy, oh man, it needs to change

5
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:19,160
Speaker 2: here soon, but you know, we're very patient.

6
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 3: We've been patient and we will continue to display that.

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:25,320
Speaker 3: But it's cool, man. It's been fun.

8
00:00:26,800 --> 00:00:28,920
Speaker 2: Sort of, you know, sharing it with the fans, as

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 2: I spoke last week, sharing it with the fans, seeing

10
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,199
Speaker 2: all of the support, you know, the people that are

11
00:00:34,240 --> 00:00:36,560
Speaker 2: reaching out if I can do anything for you, say

12
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:40,560
Speaker 2: anything for you, all that different stuff. Working with Sam

13
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,919
Speaker 2: Colevoris has been very good, you know, that has been

14
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:50,840
Speaker 2: really good. And Sam is kind of you know, he's

15
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,000
Speaker 2: the front man for it, so we have to low

16
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 2: him up with as much ammunition as possible so when

17
00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 2: he goes in those rooms, people can kind of really

18
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: get a feel for, you know, my career and what

19
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: I did. So Finalist Freddy has a good ring to it.

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens going forward.

21
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: Red It's week eighteen and the division comes down to

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: the final week of the regular season. Of course, the

23
00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: Jaguars visit the Titans today and the Colts and the

24
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,679
Speaker 1: Texans play each other, so it's a must win basically

25
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars. They could miss the thing altogether if

26
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 1: they lose. Let's not go down that path though, So

27
00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,480
Speaker 1: it's as simple as that. The messaging is simple, win

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and you're the division champs.

29
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's that's the message. You know, football we kind

30
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 2: of overcomplicated sometimes, but.

31
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 3: We're here now, you know.

32
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,039
Speaker 2: They they and I don't want to go back, so

33
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:46,959
Speaker 2: I won't even start down that road.

34
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,960
Speaker 3: They just need to put on their blinders. You know.

35
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:54,160
Speaker 2: They went out there with an underachieving Panthers team last.

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 3: Week and they beat them as they were supposed to.

37
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 3: They played really well.

38
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: You know, they could have went out there and kind of,

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, play sloppy ball, played on disciplined, but they

40
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: played very, very good, sound football last week. And it's

41
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:10,480
Speaker 2: going to take that same sort of effort this week.

42
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:12,600
Speaker 2: We spoke about it in the in the post game,

43
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 2: how tricky the Titans can be this week. The tricky Titans,

44
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: let's just call them that, because they have nothing to

45
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 2: play for it other than pride. Their season is over,

46
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: so they can play. Excuse me to be the spoilers

47
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 2: here and Jacksonville has to really be ready for everything

48
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 2: they dish out along with executing themselves on both sides

49
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: of the ball as well as special team. So this

50
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:41,639
Speaker 2: will be an interesting matchup simply because there are a

51
00:02:41,680 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: lot of unknowns that are gonna come from the Titan side.

52
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 3: But what is known? And you just said that, JP,

53
00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 3: this is a must win. You win and your in

54
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 3: and that's it.

55
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 1: My friend bred Taylor a man of many words.

56
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: Today, I thought you, I thought you were gonna let

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,200
Speaker 2: me start freestyling right here.

58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 3: I was going to say a one and a two.

59
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: Before as yours friend, whatever you want to do, go.

60
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,960
Speaker 2: Ahead, I'll lead a freestyle for the Jags. Maybe they

61
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 2: should say a one in a two. You know what

62
00:03:12,320 --> 00:03:16,080
Speaker 2: we came to do, and that's just when baby, when, Baby,

63
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 2: that's it.

64
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:24,119
Speaker 1: Wow, all right, So let's talk running backs.

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 3: Here, let's do it.

66
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know Trams EGN goes over one hundred last

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,320
Speaker 1: week here the big the long run to get over there,

68
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,120
Speaker 1: and they dedicated themselves to it. I mean they ran

69
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:37,320
Speaker 1: the ball twenty nine times with running backs. That was

70
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the goal going into the game. Should that be the

71
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 1: same goal this week?

72
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: No matter the question, it should certainly be the same goal.

73
00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you look back and old school

74
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: football is thirty plus carries for one runner. Now we're

75
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: fighting to get thirty carries between the entire group. So

76
00:03:57,640 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: I mean, but you want to go in with that

77
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: running ball mindset, and the defense has to go in

78
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,080
Speaker 2: with their same mindset. You can establish the run well.

79
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: You can establish the run by displaying your will, blocking

80
00:04:09,680 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 2: up perfectly, hitting the proper reads, all that good stuff

81
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 2: blocking down field. The defense can also help you establish

82
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:22,000
Speaker 2: the run game by winning the field position battle, winning

83
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 2: third downs, getting the other offense.

84
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 3: Off the field, as we did last week.

85
00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 2: I believe the statistic was they held the Panthers for

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 2: one to thirteen on third down. So that also afforded

87
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 2: the offense and opportunity to call more run plays and

88
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 2: not get away from it.

89
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 3: Even though there.

90
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: Was some lack of production until Etn's big pop out

91
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 2: sixty two yarder, you still want to call it up

92
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 2: because that's just the beauty of the run game. No

93
00:04:52,120 --> 00:04:55,919
Speaker 2: game three yards two yards minus one a no game

94
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 2: five yards, boom sixty two, And that's just how it goes.

95
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:00,800
Speaker 3: And it's funny. JP.

96
00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 2: You said, let's talk about running backs and it was

97
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,599
Speaker 2: such a perfect queue. And I don't know if I

98
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 2: can show this here, but Marcus Allen, Marcus Allen just

99
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 2: text me at nine. Yeah, Marcus Allen just text me

100
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 2: and he said, you can't teach that.

101
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: This is pure. He sent me my highlights.

102
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 2: And every time I talked to Marcus, he says, if

103
00:05:28,520 --> 00:05:31,039
Speaker 2: I were a GM, you would be my first pick.

104
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: And uh, it's just you. You queued it up when

105
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: you said let's talk running backs and the text came

106
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: in right on time. That's that's wow, that's crazy. But yeah,

107
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 2: you know, the running game is very vital. It's going

108
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,480
Speaker 2: to be important this game. That way, you can the

109
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 2: more you better you run it, you can minimize those

110
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: tricky play opportunities that Tennessee's offense might attempt.

111
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,159
Speaker 1: Bred Taylor with us a name dropping today. I love

112
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: that you know this is what it is. I mean,

113
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: you got to run it out of their leverage.

114
00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: You have to learn to leverage your relationships, you know,

115
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 2: like you know, my son made thirteen fifty. He wants

116
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 2: to go to University of Florida. All of a sudden,

117
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 2: and I might know a few people I don't know,

118
00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: or maybe a few people might listen to this show

119
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 2: and say, well, Freddy's son has a thirteen fifty SAT

120
00:06:22,200 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: and you know, four points some gpa. It's hard to

121
00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 2: get it in, but maybe it might better. You know,

122
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: name drop a couple of names. I'm just saying, you know,

123
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 2: other than the trickery that we should expect from the

124
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Titans this week. You know, I'm a disciplinarian man. I

125
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 2: played by the rules. I work hard, but every now

126
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 2: and then, you know, I might have to.

127
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 3: Call on a friend. If that makes sense.

128
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 1: It does absolutely. That's a horse, yes, sir, Derrick Henry

129
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards, but it doesn't feel like it

130
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: this year. I mean they have just you know, they're

131
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: not playing well. The quarterback's not playing well. I don't

132
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 1: have the skilled players around it. But it could be

133
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: his last game in Tennessee. How motivated will he be?

134
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: I mean, it can go either way. I think with

135
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: that it could go either way. Obviously he does want to,

136
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 1: you know, put on tape. He still has it, you know,

137
00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: a thousand yards. The last time I checked, it is

138
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,480
Speaker 1: still a thousand yards.

139
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,640
Speaker 2: You know, we it hadn't been in the typical Derrick

140
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,640
Speaker 2: Henry fashion.

141
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 3: They made him work for it.

142
00:07:31,520 --> 00:07:34,600
Speaker 2: It reminds me a lot of how Eddie George used

143
00:07:34,600 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: to get his yards. This is the first season I

144
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 2: believe he's under four yards per carry. He's had some tough,

145
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:46,960
Speaker 2: grinded games this year, but yet it's still a guy

146
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:51,000
Speaker 2: who has ninety three hundred yards and an eight year career.

147
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:53,840
Speaker 2: I mean he should be approaching. He's knocking on the

148
00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:57,440
Speaker 2: ten thousand yard mark, and I don't see many other

149
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,920
Speaker 2: ten thousand yard backs after there.

150
00:08:00,080 --> 00:08:04,200
Speaker 3: Eric. Uh, but let's just hope he stays healthy. You know,

151
00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 3: I root for Derek.

152
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 2: He's a Florida boy right right there from Yuli, so

153
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,400
Speaker 2: I root for him. And my son Kevin Kelvin came

154
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:16,320
Speaker 2: out the same season out of high school. So I'm

155
00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: always a fan of Uh. Let's call him King Henry,

156
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 2: and you know, just not when he plays the Jags.

157
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,119
Speaker 2: I wish him success every game other than when he's

158
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 2: versus the Jaguars. Uh, but I expect those strict plays JP.

159
00:08:32,480 --> 00:08:37,559
Speaker 2: I expect Derek to throw, potentially throw a half back pass.

160
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,079
Speaker 2: I expect throw back to the quarterback, some double play,

161
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: gadget trickery. All that stuff will be dialed up in

162
00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:47,959
Speaker 2: this game, they're they're gonna go forward on a lot

163
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 2: of multiple fourth downs, as you've seen that happened last

164
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,319
Speaker 2: week with Carolina. I think they went forward on almost

165
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: every fourth down, which was crazy. Uh, And I expect

166
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,000
Speaker 2: that here from the Titans as well.

167
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,480
Speaker 1: Six one hundred and fifty one yards away from ten thousand,

168
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,280
Speaker 1: so he'll get that early next season. And then you know,

169
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,679
Speaker 1: to your point, he's seven of nine passing in his

170
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: career with four touchdown passes.

171
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I think that would certainly be something they

172
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:17,040
Speaker 2: would want to dial up, especially if the Jaguars are

173
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 2: going to be aggressive, you know, and in the box

174
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 2: to try to stop him, stop the run, because they've

175
00:09:22,240 --> 00:09:25,360
Speaker 2: had some issues at a quarterback position. They cannot let

176
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 2: him get going unless also remind ourselves that we still

177
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:33,200
Speaker 2: have Hopkins on that side of the ball, who's very

178
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Speaker 2: still a very good receiver, very very very much capable

179
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 2: of getting a job done.

180
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: Pet Taylor with his final thought, did you ever throw

181
00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: a pass?

182
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 3: The passes I threw, I believe were in.

183
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,920
Speaker 2: Practice only, and I think they all touched the day

184
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 2: before they touched the receiver. So coach Coauflin exit it

185
00:09:54,040 --> 00:09:57,120
Speaker 2: out for me. I believe Stacey Mack has more pass

186
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 2: attempts in the game than I do. I know Jones

187
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 2: Drew does, but Shorty could really throw the ball. I'll

188
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,800
Speaker 2: call him Shorty. He's probably gonna hear this and say, oh, Freddie,

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 2: you're taking shots at me. But that's mjd is my guy.

190
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:18,920
Speaker 2: He certainly had a much better arm. And I'm just

191
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,320
Speaker 2: gonna say I think I had better legs. I still

192
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 2: have nicer legs.

193
00:10:24,280 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely, I'll take your word for Fred Taylor. Always

194
00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: a pleasure. Well, we'll talk after a division title, hopefully today.

195
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll be ready right now.

196
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hop off and go and do this thirty

197
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,760
Speaker 2: minute treadmill walk and work on my sexy legs. How

198
00:10:40,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 2: about that until we talk again, my friend. Happy New Year,

199
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:46,840
Speaker 2: Happy New Year,
