WEBVTT - Ep. 57: Predicting Week 18: Who Will Show Out When We Need It Most? | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.279 Welcome to Jagsam. I'm kind Nanni Stevens, John Oser, Brian 0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:24.120 Sexton are with me as we have our final regular 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:26.680 season jag XAM of the year. As we prepare for 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.840 the final game of the year. It's win and in 0:00:29.080 --> 0:00:30.800 for the Jags as to take on the Titans in 0:00:30.920 --> 0:00:33.560 Week eighteen. Our first big thing today is going to 0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.680 be you in or out, because while it is win 0:00:35.800 --> 0:00:37.680 or in for the team, we don't quite know yet 0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.640 whether Trevor Lawrence will be playing quarterback. You miss last week. 0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.319 It's first game of his career that he's missed. He's 0:00:43.360 --> 0:00:44.959 going to try to practice this week and see how 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:45.360 things go. 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:47.640 It's feeling better. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:52.040 I think certain movements bother more than others. 0:00:52.080 --> 0:00:53.680 There's some things that I can do, and there's some 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:56.760 areas where I have totally normal strength and you know, 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:59.360 it's functional and all that, but in certain positions it 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:02.520 does get a little bit there's some aggravation. But that's 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:04.880 getting better every day, but it's still I would like 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:06.240 to see that go down a little bit more pri 0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:07.959 to totally let it lose. 0:01:09.560 --> 0:01:12.360 Brian, Trevor was limited to practice yesterday. Any inkling with 0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:14.319 this one, this shoulder thing is a lot different than 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:15.400 what we've seen from him earlier. 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.760 Yeah, you know, last week I said that I didn't 0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.199 think he was going to play, and obviously he didn't, 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:22.160 and I was reading body language and things like that, 0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:23.360 just a guess. 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.679 So that's all I can do this week. I'm fifty 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:26.320 to fifty, you know. 0:01:26.400 --> 0:01:30.039 I mean, I think the situation sets up John for 0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.000 him to try to play through it this week. But 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:36.479 I just, you know, I didn't get the sense watching him. 0:01:36.600 --> 0:01:38.760 I have a much greater sense that perhaps Kirk and 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:40.600 Jones will be on the field after watching them on 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.520 the practice field yesterday and watching how smooth they looked. 0:01:44.480 --> 0:01:46.080 Just not a strong gut either way. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.960 On Trevor, you'd be stunned if Zay didn't play. Surprise 0:01:50.040 --> 0:01:51.720 a Christian doesn't play. And I'm with you. I'm fifty 0:01:51.720 --> 0:01:54.320 to fifty on Trevor kind of go back and forth 0:01:54.320 --> 0:01:55.760 when I'm asked about I think the fact that he 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:58.440 practiced his goods. He did not practice at all last week, 0:01:58.480 --> 0:02:02.800 and by Thursday you kind of got the feeling no way, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:05.320 I don't know. I mean, it's going to come down 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.600 to how Trevor feels, and I think the other part 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.000 of it will be Doug Peterson watching him throw. When 0:02:11.000 --> 0:02:13.239 he throws, we didn't see him throw yesterday, but when 0:02:13.240 --> 0:02:16.160 he throws, Doug looking at it and saying, okay, we 0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:19.520 feel like that can get us a win. But I 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:22.120 think they also trust that they have a formula. They 0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.840 saw last week. There's a formula where you can beat 0:02:25.840 --> 0:02:28.280 teams with C. J. Bethard, So I don't think they're 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:28.760 scared of that. 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:31.120 And how much do you weigh John the fact that 0:02:31.200 --> 0:02:34.040 you could see a playoff game here next week and 0:02:34.160 --> 0:02:36.320 wanting to give him one more week. 0:02:36.760 --> 0:02:37.480 It's not guaranteed. 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:39.720 I mean, this is essentially a playoff game, but if 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:42.360 he's not quite ready, do you try. 0:02:42.240 --> 0:02:44.000 And hold it off one more week get your chance? 0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:47.400 Well, there's that, but I think just as heavily on 0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.320 the other end of the scale, ways wouldn't you love 0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:54.480 to get Trevor some time with Christian, some time with Zay, 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:58.400 get that flow going a little bit going into the postseason. 0:02:58.800 --> 0:03:02.160 So I think there's an even balance. So I think 0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.800 you throw those things out and just comes down to 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.480 can he throw effectively? Do you trust it? 0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.600 It feels like there's a bit of a timeline here too, 0:03:10.639 --> 0:03:13.040 because as we know, they like to see Trevor practice 0:03:13.080 --> 0:03:15.000 because of the issues he's had where he doesn't practice. 0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.600 So Thursday today seems like it's gonna be a big day. 0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:20.919 Our second big thing is big game Blues. The team 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.160 has had some big games on their schedule and they 0:03:23.160 --> 0:03:25.600 haven't really come through in some of those matchups. Now, 0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.480 this one may not be big in terms of the 0:03:27.520 --> 0:03:30.080 Titans being very talented at this point in the season, 0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:32.400 but it's a big game because the Daguars need to 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:34.680 win if they want to make it into the playoffs. 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:36.320 And Doug Peterson addressed Di yesterday. 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:41.400 You're right in the sense that we haven't performed well 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.600 in the big game yet. And these are the things 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:48.200 that I keep stressing to our team. You know, expect 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:50.160 to be in big games, right, Expect to be in 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:53.280 these types of football games, in these types of moments 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.840 where there's a little maybe a little added pressure and 0:03:55.880 --> 0:04:00.400 you kind of feel that pressure, and you know, we 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:05.960 haven't handled that extremely well this year. But you know, listen, 0:04:06.400 --> 0:04:09.560 one thing about this team, as you guys know, they 0:04:09.560 --> 0:04:11.440 come out and play hard when they're backs against the 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:15.280 wall a little bit. They seem to find comfort in that. 0:04:17.200 --> 0:04:23.440 But you know, I'll keep I'll keep talking to them. 0:04:22.279 --> 0:04:25.400 So he's trying. John, do you feel confident in what 0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:27.640 we're going to see on the field on Sunday or 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.400 do you still feel like we're not really sure where 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:32.640 we're at with it and talks of effort and just 0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:34.520 what kind of performance they're going to put out. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:39.159 There on Yeah, I think the Panthers game came at 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.000 a good time where you could just sort of settle 0:04:42.040 --> 0:04:44.960 things down and show the guys again, hey, if you 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:48.960 stop the run, if you tackle well, if you do 0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.360 your job, and if you don't turn the ball over, 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:55.279 then that's that's our formula. And they were playing such 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.159 good teams and such weird situations for four weeks, with 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.159 Trevor being hear, with Christian being out. I don't think 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:05.480 you mean to get away from it. But then maybe 0:05:05.560 --> 0:05:07.840 once everything starts getting real, you get away from it 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:12.359 a little bit. So yeah, I don't think you'll see 0:05:12.600 --> 0:05:16.000 a repeat of Christmas Eve, where frankly, the effort didn't 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.320 look great, the urgency didn't look great. I don't think 0:05:18.320 --> 0:05:21.040 you'll see that. I expect them to win because they 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.840 match up well against the Titans, and if they play 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:29.080 this quote simple kind of game. Then I think they 0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:30.640 pull away from them because they're better. So I think 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:31.279 we will see. 0:05:31.160 --> 0:05:33.080 The effort, you know. I think this is the growth 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:34.760 area for this team going forward. Khy. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.920 You look at the Chiefs game, the Niners, the Ravens, 0:05:39.480 --> 0:05:42.039 the Bengals, and the Bills. Those are the five games 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:44.120 that everyone looked at and said, hey, the NFL laid 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:46.279 these out for us. These are those line in the 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.800 sand games. Are we going to cross it? And they didn't. 0:05:49.040 --> 0:05:51.440 They only beat the Bills in Buffalo, and against the 0:05:51.520 --> 0:05:54.159 Chiefs didn't play well at all. And against the Niners, 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.800 neither side of the ball played well at all. It's 0:05:55.839 --> 0:05:58.640 just the big games this year were not big games 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:02.600 except for Buffalo for this football team. And that's where 0:06:02.640 --> 0:06:05.600 they've got to get to where they play the best 0:06:05.680 --> 0:06:10.480 and they play their best against the best, consistently powerful football, 0:06:10.839 --> 0:06:13.120 and they haven't done it. So this is an important 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.400 game against the power team. In other words, they're going 0:06:15.440 --> 0:06:17.719 to run the ball, so we'll see if they're ready 0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:18.480 to stop the run. 0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:20.920 This game is certainly going to prove a lot, so 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:22.960 we'll look forward to that. We'll talk a little bit 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:25.320 more about that matchup but our final big thing today 0:06:25.440 --> 0:06:27.159 is help is on the way. We talked a little 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.640 bit about Jay Jones getting closer to returning, but Christian Kirk, 0:06:29.680 --> 0:06:32.440 just a month after undergoing surgery, are you back on 0:06:32.480 --> 0:06:35.320 the practice field? And he said, even himself, he's impressed 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:36.200 is what he's been able to do. 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:40.279 Honestly, the fact that I'm staying here in front of 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:43.840 you guys today in cleats, being able to go out 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.520 on the practice field is still kind of surreal to me. 0:06:48.080 --> 0:06:51.599 But I've been working tirelessly every single day, been in 0:06:51.680 --> 0:06:55.280 here sometimes the last person to leave, just doing everything 0:06:55.279 --> 0:06:56.680 that I can to get back as fast as I 0:06:56.720 --> 0:07:00.000 can because I want to be available. I want to help, 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:02.600 you know, bring this team where we all want to go. 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:05.840 So it's it's taking a lot of work, and I'm 0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.320 really happy with where I'm at. 0:07:09.080 --> 0:07:11.800 John Christian was describing his injury a little bit yesterday, 0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:14.000 and I thought when he went under red surgery, weren't 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.880 going to see him if anything, maybe late, if they 0:07:15.920 --> 0:07:18.000 made some kind of crazy playoff run. But to think 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.160 he's back out there after a month is impressive. 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:25.960 Yeah, it's it's remarkable, and you know, it's it's funny 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:31.160 with Christian fifteen eighteen months ago, the narrative outside the 0:07:31.160 --> 0:07:34.040 building was how could you pay him that much? Now 0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.600 it's he's worth everything you could possibly pay him to 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:40.360 this scene because you've seen what he means and there's 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:44.360 this joy and hope of getting him back, and with reason. 0:07:44.400 --> 0:07:47.400 I mean, they've got a chance to get into the 0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:54.440 postseason with Christian, Zay, Evan, Ridley, ETN. That's their group, 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:58.240 you know, and with Christian coming back, he's the most 0:07:58.280 --> 0:08:00.720 important of that group to me. And it's not a 0:08:00.840 --> 0:08:03.120 knock on Evan, it's not a knock on Travis's ATN. 0:08:03.600 --> 0:08:06.840 But when Christian's in the game, there's a trust that 0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:12.160 Trevor Lawrence has with him that feels different. It hasn't 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.000 felt that way since he twisted around and got that 0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.080 long pass against Cincinnati. It's felt like a struggle since then. 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:19.440 They need him back, you know. 0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:21.880 He is a great pro right you can see why 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:23.640 they pay him for his performance on the field and 0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:25.880 the way that he approaches the game. I asked him 0:08:25.920 --> 0:08:28.240 yesterday about you know what drove you through the rehab. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:29.200 Was it knowing that. 0:08:29.120 --> 0:08:31.520 You could get back in four weeks or that perhaps 0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:33.080 you could get back to the playoffs, and he said 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:36.920 what drove me was watching my teammates struggle and wanting 0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.400 to do something to help pay off all the work 0:08:39.400 --> 0:08:41.560 that we put in in the offseason and to be 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:45.680 there for them. I can't say enough about what a 0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:50.280 pro Kirk is and whether it's Trevor Kai or whether 0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.920 it's CJ. Bethard, I think both of them could be 0:08:52.960 --> 0:08:56.200 effective on Sunday in Nashville because of number thirteen on 0:08:56.240 --> 0:08:56.600 the field. 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.360 It will be a huge benefit whenever he gets back 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.160 on the field, hopefully for the regular season finale. Say 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.000 with us here on jag Zam, we'll go deep dive 0:09:03.000 --> 0:09:21.040 into that Titans matchup this Sunday, coming up after the break. 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.120 Welcome back to jag Zam, presented by Field's Auto Group 0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.319 of Jackson Bill. You can step up to luxury at 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.760 Fieldsauto dot com. Welcome back in. 0:09:30.800 --> 0:09:34.640 As I mentioned, it sucks, losing. 0:09:36.360 --> 0:09:36.760 Awful. 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:43.280 That's why I want to win, because you don't sleep. 0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.600 You want to win for the players and Buster Tail. 0:09:47.160 --> 0:09:50.920 That's it, you know, I mean, it's not about Hey, 0:09:51.840 --> 0:09:55.280 we'll go into the offseason with a good note. Nobody 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.680 knows what you did on January seventh, or eighth or 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.240 sixth and April when you come back. 0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.959 I heard from Doug yesterday I said winning was fun, 0:10:07.000 --> 0:10:11.000 and Mike Rabel says losing sucks. So some wise words 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.199 from our coaches for the matchup on Sunday. Mike Rabel's 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:18.400 so interesting the way he's taken to coaching. Right, He's 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:20.360 just taken all of that energy he had as a 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:24.040 football player and turned into a coaching style. And he's 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:25.679 really gotten the most out of his players, including this 0:10:25.760 --> 0:10:27.640 year with a team that hasn't been great, but what 0:10:27.679 --> 0:10:28.320 he's been able to do. 0:10:28.440 --> 0:10:30.319 But two years ago, he was the AP Coach of 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:33.120 the Year, right, I mean he won two division titles 0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:34.320 and had three winning seasons. 0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:35.600 I mean he's he's a. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:38.120 Really good football coach and I hear he's a really 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.920 good guy. They like him up there, and he said 0:10:40.960 --> 0:10:43.079 yesterday that he wanted to be back. I can't imagine 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:44.280 why they wouldn't want him back. 0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:50.760 Yeah, they always know how they want to play, and 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:54.360 not every team does. Under Vrabel that they know exactly 0:10:54.440 --> 0:10:56.080 how they want to play. They played to it. It's 0:10:56.120 --> 0:10:59.320 why they're always dangerous. It's why they're dangerous. On Sunday, 0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:03.400 there's rumors about Rabel and New England. There's all those things, 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:08.080 you know, and that makes sense. I don't know, I 0:11:08.080 --> 0:11:10.880 don't My gud tells me this is not as his 0:11:11.240 --> 0:11:16.080 last game up there, but I wouldn't mind have him 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:16.760 out of the division. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:19.199 Well, and they have a new general manager of Ryan Carthon, 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:21.360 who might want to do things his own way, so 0:11:21.760 --> 0:11:24.079 perhaps it might make sense for him to go to. 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.040 I think the only way he leaves is if he 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.640 gets wooed somewhere else, which is what that would be. 0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.760 Rabel did talk a little bit yesterday. He calmed down, 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:33.880 apologized for that comment. He's saying, I just, you know, 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:36.480 I get a little competitive sometimes, not no offense to anybody, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.320 but completely understandable. He hates to lose. But he talked 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.320 a little bit about going into a game like this 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.800 where maybe you don't have anything to play for online technically, 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:47.000 but what his team is going to be motivated by. 0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.160 We want to finish strong. You know, we can. We 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:52.720 can finish this thing the right way. 0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:53.640 You know, we can. 0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:57.480 Finish it, you know, with a lot of class, and 0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.880 we can also you know, get get a huge win 0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:06.440 and also you know, potentially, you know, I think it 0:12:06.440 --> 0:12:08.360 would just be critical to get a home win here 0:12:08.440 --> 0:12:12.240 to finish the season in the division against a team 0:12:12.320 --> 0:12:15.000 that kept us from the playoffs last year last year, 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:16.760 So that's what we're trying to do. 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.720 Finishing strong, finishing with class. But as you mentioned, against 0:12:20.720 --> 0:12:23.480 a team that ended their season last year, So that's 0:12:23.520 --> 0:12:25.120 definitely on the mind. I'm sure that's mentioned. 0:12:25.320 --> 0:12:26.520 I am sure it is. 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.160 And you know he has got a football team, as 0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:32.120 John mentioned that, he has a certain style of play, 0:12:32.360 --> 0:12:34.040 and he's going to look for everybody who's on the 0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:36.319 field on Sunday to earn their right to come back 0:12:36.679 --> 0:12:39.720 next year based on their effort. If you don't have 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:43.719 the wherewithal as a professional football player, even in what 0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.680 is called a meaningless game, to play your best, then 0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:49.080 I wouldn't want you on my team. 0:12:49.160 --> 0:12:49.880 No coach would. 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.040 Yeah, this is the old thing where a team in 0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.960 it is playing a team out of it historically, and 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:00.400 I've always believed that the team that's in it needs 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.760 to get up in that game and make them play 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.760 like individuals more than a team. Meaning. I don't believe 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.000 players really quit, but sometimes when teams are out of it, 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.000 you can get them not playing their game at the 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:16.720 end of the season. And to me, that's the Jaguars 0:13:16.760 --> 0:13:20.199 task this week. Make sure you play and get ahead 0:13:20.760 --> 0:13:23.880 and give them that feeling of Hey, the cars are 0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.120 in the parking lot, it's time to go home. 0:13:25.160 --> 0:13:27.160 Well, then this game, in particular, if you get ahead, 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:29.880 the numbers say that they don't play their style right. 0:13:30.200 --> 0:13:32.559 The Jags built a twenty seven to dozing lead in 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:35.920 the game here in November, and they didn't run Derrick 0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:36.880 Henry but ten times. 0:13:37.080 --> 0:13:38.320 And I think I offered this yesterday. 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:41.120 But in games in that he's carried the ball seventeen 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.840 times or fewer, he only averages thirty seven yards a game, 0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:47.160 now eighteen or more, it's one hundred and fourteen. You 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:49.000 give Derrick Henry a chance to get one hundred and 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.959 fourteen yards on you, then you give them a good 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:54.319 chance to win. So you got to build a lead 0:13:54.360 --> 0:13:56.959 and take their style of play away from them. 0:13:56.880 --> 0:14:00.760 And something that would be I guess sting dust Brian's 0:14:00.760 --> 0:14:04.520 We've been around forever. I think fans feel this too. 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.600 It's a chance to beat this franchise four times in 0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:09.880 a row for the first time since the nineties. It's 0:14:09.880 --> 0:14:13.400 a chance to clinch divisions two years in a row 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:18.720 against this team. I don't think about that that much 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.840 because I try to analyze the game sort of objectively, 0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.320 if you will. But there are fans who would love that, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:31.160 and this is the team the Jaguars hate. To establish 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:35.160 some dominance over that franchise and sort of turn that 0:14:35.240 --> 0:14:38.080 tide and feel better. That'd be cool, That would be cool. 0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.680 I don't think Jem's ever beaten them four times in 0:14:39.680 --> 0:14:40.080 a row. 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:42.960 Well, they beat this franchise four times around the nineties. 0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:46.440 I can't recall it. I just did you do the 0:14:46.480 --> 0:14:46.960 math on it? 0:14:47.120 --> 0:14:49.280 Well, because they lost tho times in ninety eight or 0:14:49.400 --> 0:14:51.880 ninety nine, from ninety six to ninety eight. 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:56.080 They lost. They lost here in ninety six. 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:58.440 Anyway, we'll fact check it. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:14:59.520 That has notten very often. 0:14:59.560 --> 0:15:03.400 Well, fact that's what we're here for. We do want 0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.040 to mention this is a turning of the tide for 0:15:05.120 --> 0:15:08.480 that team. Right, So this most likely Ryan Tannehill and 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:11.840 Derek Henry's probably last game with this franchise. And that's 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:15.120 something Ryan Tannehill is not fully reflecting on yet. But 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:17.520 just he talked a little bit yesterday about the trying 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:19.480 season that this has been since he's been benched for 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.640 Will Levis and what he's kind of gone through to 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:22.320 be a good teammate. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:26.960 I've tried to keep my head up and you know, 0:15:27.040 --> 0:15:29.800 focus on the cards that they're handing me. You know, 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.280 some things are out of control and you can't help that, 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:35.960 but you can help you how you come to work, 0:15:36.000 --> 0:15:39.600 how you respond, the attitude you bring into work. You know, 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:41.360 it was a lot of days where you know, I 0:15:41.360 --> 0:15:43.400 didn't really want to come in and have a smile 0:15:43.440 --> 0:15:46.800 on my face and try to help or or get 0:15:46.840 --> 0:15:48.840 myself ready to go. But you know, I knew that 0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.880 I was the best thing for my teammates, and I'm 0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.440 not gonna throw a pity party for myself. 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.720 Brian. It's been a changing of the guard there because 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.280 it's not like they completely bottomed out. They had a 0:15:58.320 --> 0:16:00.720 lot of injuries last year and then now they drafted Levis. 0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:02.480 They want to go with that now and so they're 0:16:02.840 --> 0:16:04.920 getting rid of some of the players that they've had 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:07.960 for a long time, and it's kind of a change 0:16:07.960 --> 0:16:10.800 without completely bottoming out, right, it's not like a complete rebuild, 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.720 but they're trying to rebuild. Well, they're trying to a 0:16:12.720 --> 0:16:13.280 little bit. 0:16:13.160 --> 0:16:14.920 And they are having to change their style of play 0:16:14.920 --> 0:16:17.040 because if Derrick Henry is playing in his final game, 0:16:17.360 --> 0:16:19.760 you're not going to be that ground and pound kind 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:23.000 of team that they have been. You know, Tannehill left 0:16:23.080 --> 0:16:27.000 Miami in free agency and went to Tennessee in twenty nineteen, 0:16:27.240 --> 0:16:29.200 and he had to consider a first round bust. He 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:31.920 had never done anything in Miami, but paired with Derrick 0:16:32.000 --> 0:16:35.120 Henry and the power of play action when number twenty 0:16:35.160 --> 0:16:37.440 two is slamming into the line of scrimmage. I mean 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:39.800 it gave him a couple of Pro Bowls and a 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.720 shot at a AFC championship. 0:16:41.800 --> 0:16:43.760 So he's been a big part of what they've done. 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:47.720 And if I have any fear concern, worry, it's that 0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:51.320 he and Derrick Henry play their best game in what's 0:16:51.360 --> 0:16:55.440 their final game in Nashville and give these Jags and run. 0:16:55.320 --> 0:16:55.840 For their money. 0:16:56.840 --> 0:16:59.600 What was the difference when in your mind, John obviously 0:16:59.640 --> 0:17:01.760 Derek Henay he's a game changer, but Ryan Tannell gave 0:17:01.800 --> 0:17:03.600 them a little bit of stability at the time when 0:17:03.600 --> 0:17:05.600 they were trying to like kind of figure things out 0:17:05.920 --> 0:17:07.160 in terms of rebel going there. 0:17:07.240 --> 0:17:08.840 Well, he played really well for a couple of years 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:14.879 and as Brian said it you there's different games, they 0:17:14.920 --> 0:17:18.600 play out different ways, but overall he played very well 0:17:19.080 --> 0:17:22.560 because teams had to stop Derrick Henry, and then when 0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:25.520 Tannehill had a chance to beat them downfield, he could 0:17:25.520 --> 0:17:28.960 make plays against the defenses that were drawn up stop 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:33.200 Derrick Henry. I think Brian said at best it was complimentary. 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:36.200 It was based on Henry and they needed a quarterback 0:17:36.240 --> 0:17:39.639 who could be good enough to supplement that. He was 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:41.439 never a star. I don't think he was necessarily a 0:17:41.440 --> 0:17:44.440 pro bowler or an elite guy, but there were games 0:17:44.480 --> 0:17:48.399 where he played elite. When defenses rose to stop Derrick Henry. 0:17:48.840 --> 0:17:50.960 He was more than good enough to have three hundred 0:17:51.000 --> 0:17:56.920 yard games, multiple touchdown games, and they were a tick 0:17:57.000 --> 0:18:00.240 or two away from win an AFC championships for a couple 0:18:00.240 --> 0:18:03.840 of years with that formula. So it worked as long 0:18:03.880 --> 0:18:06.399 as their offensive line was really, really good, and for 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:08.280 a while they were as good as any offensive line 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:10.080 in the league, just short of a couple of teams. 0:18:10.359 --> 0:18:13.159 This year they're not, So that's really the biggest reason 0:18:13.160 --> 0:18:14.520 for the fall of the last couple of years is 0:18:14.520 --> 0:18:15.080 their line. 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.280 You can't underestimate teams playing for pride because I imagine 0:18:18.280 --> 0:18:19.360 both of them are going to want to go out 0:18:19.359 --> 0:18:22.080 on a high note as well, if in if indeed 0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:24.479 this is their last game they're in Tennessee. All right, 0:18:24.520 --> 0:18:25.840 stay well us, we're going to talk over some of 0:18:25.840 --> 0:18:41.119 the game changers we see for Sunday's matchup against the Titans. 0:18:28.680 --> 0:18:45.720 Sudata Lords, Trusted and Reliable Moving Company said it's proud 0:18:45.720 --> 0:18:48.040 to be the official moving partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:51.600 To get a guaranteed quote, visit sutte dot com slash 0:18:51.920 --> 0:18:55.760 jacks back here for jags am in Hyundai Studios. 0:18:55.960 --> 0:18:56.800 I have to give it to him. 0:18:56.840 --> 0:19:00.960 He was right, This is right, right, right six and 0:19:01.800 --> 0:19:02.800 the final show of the right. 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.440 Oh, I've forgotten about I've forgotten about again. They swept 0:19:08.480 --> 0:19:09.160 him in ninety seven. 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:11.840 I'd forgotten that, so I usually do. 0:19:11.920 --> 0:19:12.600 I'm speechless. 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.960 All right, let's talk about this final game of the 0:19:16.960 --> 0:19:20.600 regular season against the Titans.
