1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,720
Speaker 1: Countdown to kickoff continues the first place Tennessee Titans at

2
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: eight and four meat the one and eleven Jacksonville Jaguars

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: in week fourteen, and it's time for our weekly visit

4
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:14,280
Speaker 1: with pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. What's up, Fred? JP?

5
00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:16,640
Speaker 1: All is good? Man? All good? How about yourself? We're

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,079
Speaker 1: hanging in there, you know, four games to go. We're

7
00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: counting them down at this point. That's the way it

8
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: goes when the football team is one and eleven. And

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 1: I'm sure you were never on a team that lost

10
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: eleven in a row. How do you think the mindset

11
00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:32,839
Speaker 1: is come December? You know it's coming down close to

12
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: the end, and really all you have left is direct

13
00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,200
Speaker 1: other teams hopes and dreams of the playoffs. Well, you know, JP, um,

14
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: I guess that's the only incentive. Two things actually, just

15
00:00:44,159 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: the opportunity to play another game. Just being able to

16
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: get out there play another game. That should always, you know,

17
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:52,599
Speaker 1: bring a little something to you, righte. Uh. Your mindset

18
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:55,880
Speaker 1: should always be competing and trying to win. Uh. The

19
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,520
Speaker 1: other thing is playoffs. You know you're not going. You

20
00:00:59,600 --> 00:01:03,600
Speaker 1: gotta find something in your mind to play for and

21
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: uh being able to play spoiler. It's a good feeling.

22
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: The one game that's the determining you know, who's who's

23
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,480
Speaker 1: leading in the a f C South between the Titans

24
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,440
Speaker 1: and the coach is the game that we want to

25
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: open the season versus the Coats. Uh. And just little

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 1: things like that. You never know what type of impact

27
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: is gonna have on the season, but it's gonna play

28
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: out someway somehow. Fred Taylor with us and of course,

29
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 1: you know, the last few games, it's felt like, except

30
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: for the Steelers game, that the Jags have kind of

31
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,160
Speaker 1: been in it. You know, second half, fourth quarter of

32
00:01:35,240 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 1: play here, play there, the ball doesn't bounce your way.

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: They couldn't finish an overtime last week, but they got

34
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: to overtime last week. I mean that this is not

35
00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:45,440
Speaker 1: a team that's getting blown out by thirty every week.

36
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 1: You know, they have I'm packed it in, you know,

37
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 1: and uh, as I mentioned in the post game, you know,

38
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: just looking at everything. Uh, some of the fans might say,

39
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: we we gotta lose so we can get ourselves in position,

40
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, to get the quarterback out of Clemson, and uh,

41
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 1: some fans, you know, they don't care about draft position.

42
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: They want to see their their team that they root

43
00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,200
Speaker 1: on win and these guys are fighting. I mean they've

44
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 1: interchanged so many different pieces, whether it's due to COVID

45
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: or coaches, whether it's due to injuries. You know, uh

46
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: C j Henderson our first round thinking he's not there.

47
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: The secondary is beat up. You know, we don't have

48
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:29,519
Speaker 1: you know, Josh Allen, you know he's not. Their injuries

49
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:33,440
Speaker 1: across the board. But what we do have, you know,

50
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: let's focus on that the guys that are out there playing,

51
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:40,800
Speaker 1: and most notably James Robinson a great surprise. You know,

52
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:43,560
Speaker 1: he's number three right now in the NFL and Russian.

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: That's huge, man for a guy who's been undrafted, just

54
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:50,000
Speaker 1: a few yards away from a thousand yards. So we

55
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: do have some bright spots. Again, the season isn't over.

56
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:56,240
Speaker 1: Let's see what goes on the last four games, and

57
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: that the match up against today against the Titans, and

58
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:01,320
Speaker 1: then the last game of a year against the Coats,

59
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: that can have some impact on what those guys are

60
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: gonna do in terms of playoff positioning. Fred Taylor with US.

61
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: You mentioned the name James Robinson and he is getting

62
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,639
Speaker 1: close to those big numbers as the year goes along here.

63
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,120
Speaker 1: You know, I think he's got two hundred twelve rushing

64
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,359
Speaker 1: attempts this year, only twelve of those are for negative yardage.

65
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,959
Speaker 1: So the guy could just continues to plow forward even

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: though defenses know that he's gonna get the football a

67
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:29,720
Speaker 1: lot of times, and he's still just finding a way

68
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 1: to get it done. You're right, he's finding a way.

69
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: He's the guy who is excited. You know, they spoke

70
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 1: about the rookie wall, you know, get him some rets,

71
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,839
Speaker 1: getting the other backs and carries. I don't think he'll

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: see a rookie wall, not when you're out there and

73
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: you're proving guys wrong. You know, he's been playing with

74
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:48,080
Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder by Louren his shoulder, and

75
00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: you mentioned it jp barely any negative runs, you know,

76
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: so that's a testament to himself. You know, the guys

77
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: up front, you know, they came with it this year

78
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: in the run game. But they're motivated. They know they

79
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,839
Speaker 1: have a guy by find them who's ready to run

80
00:04:01,880 --> 00:04:04,880
Speaker 1: the ball each and every week, a great path level,

81
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: his quickness, everything, and as you said again, the defenses,

82
00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: they know he's going to get the ball. They know

83
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: we've struggled in the past game you see eight guys

84
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: in the box each and every week. But yet he's

85
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: still running efficiently and effectively. And again he's my brightest

86
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: spot on the team this year and hopefully I'm going forward.

87
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,920
Speaker 1: They can continue to add pieces and build around him.

88
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: On the other side, we know about the freight train

89
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: that is Derrick Henry. He is the league's leading rusher.

90
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 1: But you know, one way to get him out of

91
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: the game plan is to do what the Browns did

92
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: last week and put up thirty eight in the first

93
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: half where he can't run the football. That's one thing

94
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 1: that worked last week. Now that's asking a lot of

95
00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: this worst team to do that, but it worked for

96
00:04:49,839 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: the Browns. That's the really the only way. If they

97
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: get in going and balance it out on offense with Tannehill,

98
00:04:55,160 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 1: throw it around to those guys outside. That's when the

99
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: Titans are really really dangerous. Yeah, they they are dangerous

100
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,480
Speaker 1: if they can get into their play action game. They

101
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,600
Speaker 1: do want to get into their stretch offends outside zone.

102
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:10,680
Speaker 1: That's when Derek's most dangerous. When you give up the edge,

103
00:05:10,680 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 1: he gets out there and then now he's into your secondary,

104
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: and he's gonna straight arm every defensive back that comes

105
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 1: within his arm length, his seven eight feet armspan, whatever

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: it is, it seems like it's never ending. Uh, to

107
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,520
Speaker 1: be honest with you can't let him get on the edge.

108
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 1: Our defensive ends will have a big task today by

109
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: h making sure they secure the edge. Uh. If they

110
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 1: can get stow him down from the outside run game,

111
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:42,560
Speaker 1: and they will minimize their play action opportunities. And then

112
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,719
Speaker 1: after that you have to get after tenne Hill. You know,

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: he's the same guy who was in Miami a few

114
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: years ago. That same guy is still in him. But

115
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: you have to find a way to shut the run

116
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: game down first and then put some pressure on Tannihill

117
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully that will translate to a few turnovers that

118
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: are translated into solid fuel position that hopefully it'll eventually

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,920
Speaker 1: translate to points in a win for the Jaguars. And

120
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: that would be nice, That would be really nice, indeed,

121
00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 1: and that would mean a fun post game show with

122
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,280
Speaker 1: you a little bit later. Fred, we'll talk it will yes,

123
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 1: it will talk to you later. JP. Al Right, Fred Taylor,

124
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: with this pride of the Jaguars running back, we're back

125
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: with the final word before kickoff with head coach Doug Moron.

126
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,239
Speaker 1: The Jags and the Titans coming up at one o'clock

127
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 1: and this is countdown to kickoff on Jaguars Radio
