11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,240
Speaker 1: the Week one game. On Jaguars Happy Our Radio Monday,

12
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 1: Pete Frisco, Tony Basselli and I discussed the social media

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:47,559
Speaker 1: reaction to the play of quarterback Trevor Lawrence. But I

14
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,440
Speaker 1: want to say this though, because I saw it on

15
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,040
Speaker 1: Twitter today. You Jaguar fans are out of your mind

16
00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: when you say he's a bust already? Are you that stupid?

17
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: Come on, guys, you're better than that. I agree with you, Pete,

18
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 1: I said, I mean the fans are you guys are

19
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: better fans. You're smarter fans. Than that. You don't, don't

20
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: lower yourself to that that standard. You're better than that.

21
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:12,040
Speaker 1: A bust, give me a break. That's absurd. I have

22
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:14,559
Speaker 1: the same conversation this morning on the radio and because

23
00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 1: that was on Twitter, and like, come on, take a

24
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 1: deep breath, Like on the show this morning was saying it.

25
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: One of those guys, well they were talking because they

26
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,399
Speaker 1: were responding to Twitter and stuff like that. Yeah, no, no,

27
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 1: they weren't. Jeffrey Dan did. Now they didn't say that,

28
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: and they I want to make sure I don't misrepresent them.

29
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 1: But just like kind of the noise on Twitter and

30
00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,960
Speaker 1: the frustration from the fans, and my point was this,

31
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: like I don't think Trevor played well. I think and

32
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,040
Speaker 1: he's got to play a lot better. I think he's

33
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 1: been inconsistent. He was inconsistent preseason. We talked about it

34
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 1: gets slow starts. It was one of my it was

35
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: the key. It was the key of the game for me,

36
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 1: of a fast start and him being consistent. Um, but

37
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: like like hell, I still have confidence that he's going

38
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: to be the guy. Still have confidence that he's going

39
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: to get better. I mean this is the first year,

40
00:01:59,360 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: let's be clear, first year he's with a real like

41
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,320
Speaker 1: in a real system, with stability at the head coach, like,

42
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,679
Speaker 1: give him some time. Like and I know everyone's like,

43
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 1: we'll look at Herbert what he did, and look at

44
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow. They're great players. Maybe he's not gonna be

45
00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 1: as good as Herbert. I don't know, maybe he'll be better.

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: I'll go to I'll go to a guy from Buffalo

47
00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:21,720
Speaker 1: who's probably the best quarterback in the NFL right now,

48
00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: guy named Josh Allen who could not hit the broadside

49
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: of a barn the first two years of his of

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: his pro career, and by the way, was the game

51
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: plan for him was just play man no or with

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: Joe one the two I think it was playing manners.

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: And I can't rember which one because he can't execute,

54
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: he can't find guys, and that in Belichick was killing him.

55
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,200
Speaker 1: We'll look at the guy now, Josh Allen, maybe the

56
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL, and so like to make

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: a judgment after eighteen games is ridiculous. He is talented,

58
00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: he's athletic, he cares, he's smart, he's tough. I mean, Pete,

59
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:03,679
Speaker 1: you and I talked about Josh. Remember he couldn't see

60
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,280
Speaker 1: you didn't see anything the first couple of years, yep.

61
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: And and I always sat there, and I was one

62
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: of the few guys that said, he's going to be really,

63
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: really good. You're wrong, just be patient. And I think

64
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: it's the same way with Trevor Larrence. You gotta admit though,

65
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:18,080
Speaker 1: first throw of the game, he throws that rifle shot

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: in the middlefield, you go, oh god, here he goes.

67
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 1: This is the this is the moment. And then it

68
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 1: kind of leveled off after that. But remember the shot

69
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: in the middle of the field was Kirk I think

70
00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: in twenty yards or whatever. That was the rifles. That's

71
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,880
Speaker 1: what you want to see. That's him. And I just

72
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,480
Speaker 1: think he got to his mechanics got a little off,

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: his feet weren't set, and I just don't the one

74
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,040
Speaker 1: the e t n and and I just can't see

75
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: why he missed that. There's no real he had nobody

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: near him, nobody. My question moving forward, now, how do

77
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 1: you improve that red zone touch? Just a quarter bas

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: that you keep playing, you keep ringing reps, you keep practicing,

79
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: you keep listening to your coaching. I'm I actually think

80
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: and I am not just like listen I and I

81
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 1: know fans are like, oh, we're tired of this and

82
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: you're Mr Sunshine Pumper or whatever. I believe in Trevor Lawrence.

83
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: I believe he's going to be the guy. All I

84
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: know is this same conversation after not just year one,

85
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: after year two was being said about Josh Allen. It

86
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 1: was not until year three where people are like, oh,

87
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: in really year four where he took off and was

88
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,040
Speaker 1: like the guy, and now what is this year five? Pet? Yeah,

89
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 1: he's and he's You're right, he's in the conversation and

90
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,920
Speaker 1: the best quarterback in the lake. I got you, Like,

91
00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: if you said you had one pick right now, and

92
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,960
Speaker 1: who would you pick? Josh Allen's in the conversation absolutely

93
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,560
Speaker 1: years ago it would be between Allan from Just for

94
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: Longevity read Alan, Mahomes and Herbert that's what your picks

95
00:04:50,320 --> 00:04:53,039
Speaker 1: would be or borrow one of those four. Yeah. And

96
00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 1: by the way, um, you know me, I'll bury a

97
00:04:55,640 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: bad quarterback in an instant. So there's no way, no

98
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,640
Speaker 1: way anybody should be even close to thinking Trevor Lawrence

99
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 1: isn't going to be a good quarterback. He's got some issues,

100
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: there are things that need to be worked out. But

101
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:16,599
Speaker 1: like Tony said he worked with a clown as his

102
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,480
Speaker 1: coach last year. Okay, it was. It was a clown

103
00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,280
Speaker 1: show all the way around. Give him, Give him at

104
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: least another five game, Okay. If in five games from now,

105
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 1: if he's making the same mistakes, then we'll start having

106
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 1: the conversation. I actually I disagree with you, Pete. Like

107
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: for me, I'm waiting for this entire year. No, I

108
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: think he is that talented, I think he cares that much.

109
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: I think he's that competitive, and I just think he's

110
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,160
Speaker 1: gonna be well coached. And I know he's being well

111
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: coached right now. And so for me, it's painful. Sunday

112
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: was painful, and there's a lot of areas that need

113
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 1: to get cleaned up. And we can talk about the

114
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 1: offensive line they need to be better, and there's a

115
00:05:57,520 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: lot the defense needs to be better. But here's the deal.

116
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: If you think for a second, if you're out there

117
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: listening to us right now, are you wrote on Twitter

118
00:06:05,279 --> 00:06:09,280
Speaker 1: that that Trevor Lawrence is even even use the b

119
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 1: of a bus like even started, like even if it

120
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: started to come. You are dead wrong. And you have

121
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: to let this year play out and see and let's

122
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: make an evaluation at the end of the year. Jaguars

123
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,479
Speaker 1: Happy Our Radio Monday airs four to six pm on

124
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,799
Speaker 1: ten to xl AM and the Jags social media channels.

125
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,960
Speaker 1: We continue with the best sound from press conferences and

126
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:36,880
Speaker 1: interviews this week, starting with Trevor Lawrence on Wednesday. He

127
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: knows they need a winning result. You know, it's frustrating.

128
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 1: I don't think it's good to compound all those from

129
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 1: the past. But also it is important to win, obviously,

130
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,839
Speaker 1: that's why we're all here. Um. There's a lot of

131
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,160
Speaker 1: excitement in the city and on this team in the

132
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 1: locker room, and it comes to the point where, yeah,

133
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: we do. We obviously need to get a win and

134
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: this is a great place to start with a divisional game. Obviously,

135
00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: like the past in the past, last week, had a

136
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: chance to win that and that's frustrating, but you gotta

137
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: move on and take the positives learn from the negatives. Um,

138
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,040
Speaker 1: And we got a great opportunity this week. But yeah,

139
00:07:05,080 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously we need to win. Uh, not because

140
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: of the losses we've had in the past, but just

141
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: because you know, we we started owing one last week

142
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: and then we got another opportunity this week in the

143
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,720
Speaker 1: division to get a game, especially those two teams they

144
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: tied last week, so this will be huge force. Hey,

145
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: Coach Doug Peterson Wednesday, explaining how the quarterback continues to learn.

146
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:26,840
Speaker 1: We've talked about this before. Everything semi new and and

147
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: he's still learning, and this is the first time in

148
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: a while that you know, and and each week kind

149
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,000
Speaker 1: of becomes a new week in the sense of he's

150
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: working with these guys day in and day out. Right

151
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: now we're down to the fifty three, we're down to

152
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: the forty eight, down to the eleven on offense or

153
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 1: so and two on offense, and these are now the

154
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: guys that we're working with, right so we just got

155
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: to make sure that we're all on the same page.

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: Keep working with um, you know, the skill guys, the backs,

157
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: tight ends, and continue to push through. But you know,

158
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:00,920
Speaker 1: he trusts us as coaches are gonna put him in

159
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: in great positions and then he ultimately, you know, bottom

160
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,640
Speaker 1: line has to go before centador Luke Fortner made his

161
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,040
Speaker 1: NFL debut last week, and he told me in the

162
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 1: locker room about the difference in speed, a whole different

163
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,120
Speaker 1: level play even from preseason. And you know, obviously especially

164
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: from college, and I felt like the coaches and the

165
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: fellow veterans, you know, they made sure I was prepared

166
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,040
Speaker 1: and I mean the right headspace going out there, but

167
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 1: obviously step up. I think it's the mental and just

168
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: combining the mental and physical and trying to get them

169
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,119
Speaker 1: in sync. I think individually I'm okay on both parts,

170
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: but kind of mentioning the two and matching up the

171
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: physicality with the mental parson of it is is where

172
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm working on the best right now. Moving along now

173
00:08:38,040 --> 00:08:40,839
Speaker 1: to wide receiver Christian Kirk. He had the third best

174
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: yardage day of his career and his Jaguars debut, but

175
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: he knows the team can learn how to finish. It

176
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: doesn't happen overnight for sure. Um, you know, I know

177
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,120
Speaker 1: there's been plenty of teams that you know, people have

178
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: seen that you know, came from an organization that you

179
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:55,360
Speaker 1: know went through the same type of development as well.

180
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,800
Speaker 1: So this stuff is gonna take time. But like I said,

181
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:01,120
Speaker 1: good teams finish, and uh, you know, we definitely have

182
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: some work to do to be a good team, and

183
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: we gotta learn how to finish football games because you know,

184
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 1: that's how you know, you you make a living in

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: this league and you know you become one of the

186
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 1: better teams as you you know you finished games in

187
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: tight situations like that. Locker room interviews and press conference

208
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com and Jack's Radio. Looking ahead to the

209
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Colts Jaguars matchup. On Jack's Drivetime Wednesday, it was ESPN

210
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: NFL reporter Stephen Holder joining Ashman Sullivan, John Osier, and

211
00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton to talk through this Indianapolis Colts team. Take

212
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:35,240
Speaker 1: us through what happened week one. The Colts tie against

213
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: the Houston Texas. I want to know what the biggest

214
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: surprise maybe was in that game. Well, it was surprising

215
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: apparently two players, some of whom did not realize that

216
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:47,160
Speaker 1: you could tie in the NFL. So that was interesting

217
00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: in the locker room, actually explaining the overtime process to

218
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 1: some of them. So anyway, that was an interesting diversion.

219
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:58,439
Speaker 1: But I think really there wasn't a ton of surprise

220
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: for me, except I thought in many ways the Colts

221
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,520
Speaker 1: outplayed the Texans. They just they didn't do the things

222
00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:08,640
Speaker 1: that it takes to actually put the finishing touches on

223
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 1: a wind. They moved the ball up and down the field. Well,

224
00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 1: over five yards of offense. But if you don't stick

225
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: it in the end zone at the end of those drives,

226
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't quite matter how many yards you get. So

227
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: I think in many ways we saw what we expected

228
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:27,640
Speaker 1: from the Colts strong running game. Jonathan Taylor over a

229
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 1: hundred sixty yards, Matt Ryan I thought, really efficient in

230
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: many ways, except with some key mistakes, but overall, definitely

231
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,640
Speaker 1: an upgrade at quarterback. But they just didn't get the

232
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:44,360
Speaker 1: job done and very critical moments. Stephen Um, I'm curious

233
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,760
Speaker 1: U Jonathan Taylor. There were stories last week about uh,

234
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: and I know you guys have talked to Frank right

235
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: about managing carries, and yet it's gonna be hard to

236
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,000
Speaker 1: manage carries with this guy because he's so good. Uh,

237
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 1: how do the Colts balance that when they're really, if

238
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: their best when he's running the football. Well, you saw

239
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: a great example of the difficulty of that on Sunday

240
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 1: because there were some instances in the first half of

241
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: that game where Johthan Taylor was one step away from

242
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: going to the house like multiple times, and you can

243
00:12:18,040 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: see it, and you just kind of had this feeling like,

244
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,439
Speaker 1: all right, the next one might be the one and

245
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: I can imagine that's very, very tempting. I don't think

246
00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: they set out to have him run the ball, I

247
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,319
Speaker 1: believe thirty one times. I don't think that was their

248
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,839
Speaker 1: game plan necessarily, But you know, the game goes the

249
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: way the game goes, and well, a couple of things happened.

250
00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, there were some instances where, uh, they were

251
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: they were having some some difficulties moving the ball through

252
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,240
Speaker 1: the air, and they were having some efficiency on the ground,

253
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,720
Speaker 1: so they did that and they just went with the

254
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,840
Speaker 1: hot hand. And I think when the game is tight

255
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: and close like that, you kind of have to throw

256
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: your plans out the window. So if the goal was

257
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: to preserve him going into the game, then on they

258
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,240
Speaker 1: got into the game and they saw that that was

259
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: their their best way of moving the football, then you

260
00:13:04,600 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: have to just basically throughout the plans. I think that's

261
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: what they did, and they said that they would do

262
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:13,120
Speaker 1: that when when called upon, and I think that was

263
00:13:13,160 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: an instance where it was that's what it was gonna take.

264
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: But yes, over the course of the season, they do

265
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,959
Speaker 1: want to watch his touches. You don't want your running

266
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: back well over three touches or excuse me, three hundred

267
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:31,160
Speaker 1: carries per season and he exceeded that last year. And Steven,

268
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: as we get ready for this game Sunday in Jacksonville,

269
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: we have to talk about this streak now that as

270
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:39,000
Speaker 1: many years running of the Jaguars beating the Colts in Jacksonville,

271
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 1: forcing them out of the playoffs last season in the

272
00:13:41,440 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: last regular season game. We all say, on both sides, Okay,

273
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 1: it's a new team. They don't think about that. But

274
00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: how much is that on the Colts mine this week? Well,

275
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: it's probably on their minds because they're gonna hear about it. Okay,

276
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. They are gonna be inundated

277
00:13:56,880 --> 00:14:03,199
Speaker 1: with questions about it, with stories, with talk on the radio.

278
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they can't escape. They know what happened,

279
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: and there's that was a very seismic I think shift

280
00:14:11,920 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: in this organization. You know what happened in Jacksonville in January,

281
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: and there's no way, there's no other way to look

282
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: at it. I think a lot of it prompted, certainly

283
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: some changes, and it prompted more than change. It prompted

284
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:28,640
Speaker 1: I think um and an attitude and a focus on

285
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: this team that they have to take a step and

286
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: that that's not the kind of game that a serious

287
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:38,280
Speaker 1: football team, that one that is that is serious about

288
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: about doing something in the postseason. That's not a game

289
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 1: you can lose to the team with at the time

290
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:48,040
Speaker 1: the worst record in the NFL, with everything on the line,

291
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: and you certainly on paper have I have a considerable

292
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: amount of talent more than the other team. There's no excuse,

293
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: and you just can't come back from that by just

294
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: saying it's just another game. That's just not gonna be acceptable.

295
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: And so no one from the owner on down has

296
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: tried to spin it as just another game, because it wasn't.

297
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: And I think that the Colts understand that, and I

298
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: really think that adds a layer of pressure for this

299
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 1: game on Sunday. I don't know how they'll respond to that,

300
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,920
Speaker 1: but no one can tell me and have me believe

301
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 1: that there's not a considerable amount of pressure on on

302
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 1: the Colts on Sunday. Jack's Drivetime here is Monday, Wednesday,

303
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,880
Speaker 1: and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot com in the Jags

304
00:15:30,920 --> 00:15:34,920
Speaker 1: social media channels Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Also this week

305
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com, Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks on Wednesday,

306
00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: Bucky Oshan and I talked through how Jaguars head coach

307
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:45,040
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson sets the tone of no panic for the

308
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,080
Speaker 1: Jags after one week just coming out of locker room, John,

309
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,680
Speaker 1: you were in there with me and just talking to

310
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,960
Speaker 1: some of the guys today. There there have been instances

311
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,480
Speaker 1: in this place in the last decade where you go

312
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: in the Wednesday after a week one or early season

313
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,280
Speaker 1: loss you shouldn't have lost, and there's a little panic

314
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,800
Speaker 1: that sets in. There's a little bit of that. I

315
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: didn't sense much of that, if any of that today

316
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 1: from this team. Yeah, I thought, you know, and again,

317
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: we we've all lingered a little longer on that first

318
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:14,800
Speaker 1: loss than usual, and I was sort of trying to

319
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: figure out why. And I think a big reason is

320
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: it feels different because they feel like they let one

321
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: get away. Uh. You know, in the past, there was

322
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 1: an under current when you talk to the players and

323
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: of if they got close in a game, they got

324
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: close and they maybe missed their one chance to win

325
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: that month. I mean, and they never said it, but

326
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,960
Speaker 1: that's how it felt. This doesn't feel that way. This

327
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:45,400
Speaker 1: feels like a decent team that let one get away,

328
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,080
Speaker 1: and they know in the NFL. You can't do that.

329
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 1: It keep going back. It felt more normal. I know, Bucky,

330
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,400
Speaker 1: it's Wednesday, It's look ahead Wednesday. Time to move on.

331
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: But I think maybe that's why the sting of that one,

332
00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: it has sort of lingered a little bit. Bucky. Yeah, Now,

333
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: I think they knew that they won't get away. Um.

334
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 1: I felt like they were in control of the game

335
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. To let the ball flower over

336
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,560
Speaker 1: the head, gave her some plays, And I think it's

337
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: it's one of those things where the team has to

338
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,280
Speaker 1: kind of learn how to win, how to finish these

339
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: games off. I think the great thing about Doug and

340
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: his personality is he's just so even killed and cool

341
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: about it all, and I think he understands that this

342
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 1: is a process that you have to kind of go

343
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:27,480
Speaker 1: through some of these tough losses to eventually get to

344
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: the other side. And at some point this team is

345
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: gonna turn the corner. The team is too talented, the

346
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: team is too well connected for it not to happen.

347
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of when does it all come together.

348
00:17:38,840 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: And so they're close and we're just kind of see

349
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: if they can start putting it together this week Trevor

350
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:46,840
Speaker 1: Lawrence and the offense had some early red zone opportunities

351
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: last week. They let a lot of those slip away.

352
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,679
Speaker 1: They came away with only a field goal in the

353
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 1: first half and three red zone possessions and struggled to

354
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 1: find those points. They got them back later in the

355
00:17:57,760 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: game and of course rally to to have the lead

356
00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: and Bucky I think we're talking about it in the

357
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,639
Speaker 1: postgame radio on Sunday night. You know there were guys open.

358
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,760
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously Travis c t n Is in the

359
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,879
Speaker 1: end zone open and one of those situations, but throughout

360
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 1: the game that was a good sign for this offense.

361
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:16,719
Speaker 1: So you had wide receivers that were opening this offense. Yeah, uh,

362
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: I think that was big. I think it was big

363
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: that you had plenty of playmakers touched the ball. You

364
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 1: had Christian Kirk have over a hunting yards. Uh. You

365
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: saw Marvin Jones, D Jones, all those guys have opportunities

366
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: to make plays and they made them. The big thing

367
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 1: is understanding how things change down in the red zone.

368
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: I think really it's for Trevor more than anybody else

369
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: in the red zone, tighter space with things happen quicker,

370
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,080
Speaker 1: So you have to be a little more precise. Your

371
00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:46,440
Speaker 1: anticipation has to be on point because the windows are

372
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: just so tight. And so as he continues to see it,

373
00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,639
Speaker 1: as he continues to have more of those opportunities in

374
00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: the red zone, you just kind of hope that it

375
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:57,160
Speaker 1: comes together because this offense has a lot of potential.

376
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:59,320
Speaker 1: I think we got a chance to see that. I

377
00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 1: guess without the it was a pretty solid defensive team.

378
00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of about taking care of the

379
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: little things and cleaning up those details. They do that,

380
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: you'll see the team score a ton of points. Yeah,

381
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say I'm unconcerned about the red zone

382
00:19:11,560 --> 00:19:15,040
Speaker 1: stuff JP, but I'm getting questions this week. And I

383
00:19:15,080 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 1: get it's the NFL, so you react to one thing

384
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 1: and and it's but I'm getting questions like, um, Trevor

385
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 1: Lawrence has major issues in the red zone, and it

386
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:28,000
Speaker 1: it makes it sound like it's been going on since

387
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 1: like the sixties. And it's one game. He can't miss

388
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,639
Speaker 1: the throw to e t N. I get that, but

389
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,920
Speaker 1: he's not the first quarterback ever to miss that throw,

390
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 1: even an easy one. Uh. I guess I've been doing

391
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:46,479
Speaker 1: this long enough. Let's at least see it twice before

392
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:51,280
Speaker 1: we call it a career defining trend. But I think

393
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: it's where we are with it. I think we're way

394
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: over the top in terms of, well, he's not good

395
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: in the red zone. Well, nobody in this team is

396
00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: any good at anything last year, So let's not really

397
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,800
Speaker 1: say that this is a trend. Statistically he wasn't. But

398
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: you're right, everything else was so askew you could you

399
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: can't really, So you know, I'm not saying it's something,

400
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 1: it's something to watch and it's something to improve. I

401
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 1: don't think we know yet that he's just not good

402
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: in that situation. I I just think you need to

403
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: let it play out for at least a week, at

404
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:29,520
Speaker 1: least two weeks, couple weeks. So you know, maybe that's

405
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:35,520
Speaker 1: just me. I'm such a wide eyed optimists. Maybe I

406
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,200
Speaker 1: just think it's going to get better. Huddle Up with

407
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 1: Bucky Brooks runs Wednesdays at four o'clock on the Jags

408
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,719
Speaker 1: social media channels and Jaguars dot Com, and finally this

409
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,840
Speaker 1: week of preview of an interview that will run in

410
00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 1: full on the Official Jaguars podcast network Saturday, with a

411
00:20:49,400 --> 00:20:53,960
Speaker 1: portion Sunday on Countdown to kickoff on the Jaguars Radio Network,

412
00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:57,119
Speaker 1: it's CBS Sports play by play announcer Tom McCarthy on

413
00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,639
Speaker 1: what Peterson brings to the organization and much more. We

414
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: were in Houston last week for the Colts and the Texans,

415
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: and we were talking about Lovey Smith taking over for

416
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: the for the Texans. And I don't know if this

417
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: is the right term that I I should use, but

418
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 1: I've used it before with baseball. There's an adult kind

419
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 1: of in the room now and the stability that that brings,

420
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: just the ease that that brings is so important, and

421
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:26,359
Speaker 1: I think you're probably seeing a little of that right now.

422
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: I know it was disappointing not getting the first weekend win,

423
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: but I think that the results will follow the foundation

424
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: that he's building. And I know Jacksonville fans have heard

425
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: that before. Um they heard it so long with Gus

426
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:42,120
Speaker 1: Bradley and it was almost there, Like it was almost there.

427
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: And I just think that you're gonna find a little

428
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 1: bit more of a smooth function with Doug. And I think,

429
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:53,080
Speaker 1: like you said, the relationship part of this is really

430
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:56,439
Speaker 1: important in sports, and I think he's got that down Tony.

431
00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: The offensive side of things sees the play caller obviously

432
00:21:59,800 --> 00:22:02,439
Speaker 1: on the sideline press Taylor's up in the booth. But

433
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:07,159
Speaker 1: the way they attacked the game, think about it statistically,

434
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,679
Speaker 1: in some instances it's a gut decision for Doug, but

435
00:22:10,720 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: he'll go for it a lot. And he said earlier

436
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 1: this week his his philosophy mainly is throw to score

437
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 1: and run to win. And you know, there were some

438
00:22:21,080 --> 00:22:23,199
Speaker 1: questions around in the twenty yard line at the at

439
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: the red zone. They got away from the run a

440
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: little bit last week, but there were some plays open.

441
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,520
Speaker 1: It might feel a little different offensively around here, just

442
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: the way they approached the game. Yeah, and I think

443
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,440
Speaker 1: that the past that that that Trevor missed with e

444
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: t N. I mean, I think that's an indication of

445
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:40,880
Speaker 1: what's there if you pass, and you know he terms

446
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:42,680
Speaker 1: just gotta hit, he just gotta hit that pass. I mean,

447
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 1: he's got a gifted athlete who he knows very well.

448
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: But I do think that you're going to see I

449
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: think you canna see a comfort level two with with

450
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 1: with Lawrence that that he'll that he didn't have last

451
00:22:54,160 --> 00:22:58,600
Speaker 1: year quite frankly, because you do have a former quarterback

452
00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,680
Speaker 1: as your head coach who knows how to handle quarterbacks.

453
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's going to really help. You know,

454
00:23:06,160 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: I got the sense last week watching the game back

455
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 1: that that e t n is he's gonna be. He's

456
00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna be involved big time in this offense. And I

457
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 1: think they'd like to involve him even more. So that's

458
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: pretty cool if he could, if he can evolve into

459
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 1: the back that they thought he was when they picked

460
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: them a good different style backs. He's the guy that

461
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,600
Speaker 1: can go outside and play. And then you got James

462
00:23:25,680 --> 00:23:28,200
Speaker 1: Robinson if you need four yards and he's probably gonna

463
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:29,879
Speaker 1: get four yards. That's this is what he does. And

464
00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: then veteran receivers that helps a young quarterback. To all

465
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: these guys, at least the starters are on their second

466
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: at least their second contract in the NFL. Not that

467
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,480
Speaker 1: that really matters, but experience is a big thing for

468
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:42,560
Speaker 1: a young quarterback. Those guys will be where they need

469
00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: to be. I gotta tell you that when when they

470
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: signed Christian Kirk, I thought this was that was a

471
00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,360
Speaker 1: huge pickup for them, um, and I think you saw

472
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: that in Game one. I think that he can really

473
00:23:51,800 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: develop into you know, not that Marvin's not, but Marvin's

474
00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 1: a little older, so Kirk can be able to mold

475
00:23:59,480 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: himself too. That go to wide receiver then, I think

476
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,439
Speaker 1: he really wanted to be consistently in Arizona, but you know,

477
00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:10,320
Speaker 1: they just there was not always enough room in the

478
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: in the wide receiver room. So I like him a lot.

479
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see his focal point be even

480
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, spotlighted more. The Colts have that salty veteran

481
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: quarterback now they've been they've been kind of playing that

482
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,480
Speaker 1: game the last few years. Obviously Philip Papers Carson Wentz

483
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:29,360
Speaker 1: wasn't the answer, and is Matt Ryan the answer for them?

484
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,359
Speaker 1: They've got a lot of other pieces on that team.

485
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 1: They feel like they're kind of knocking on the door.

486
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: Is this the one that gets them over the top. Well,

487
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: it's funny, um. I mean, they should have scored forty

488
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 1: points the other day against the Texas. They really should have.

489
00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: I mean they had a drop in the end zone.

490
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:44,200
Speaker 1: You know, they had a fourth down inside the five.

491
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: They decided to go for it and it was snuffed out.

492
00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 1: He looked, he looked really good. He it looked like

493
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 1: he was thirty seven years old. It's funny JP when

494
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: he walks into a room. I hadn't seen him in

495
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,920
Speaker 1: about ten years in person, and he's a Philly guy,

496
00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,960
Speaker 1: so I saw him often in back when he was young.

497
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: He looks like a movie star like he is. He

498
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 1: looks like Brady Like. He's tall and he's trim, and

499
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: he's in great shape. I thought he looked really good.

500
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: He through through three or fifty two yards. The rub

501
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 1: is they don't want to run Jonathan tail Or thirty

502
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: one times, but they needed to run Jonathan tail Or

503
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 1: thirty one times. You guys are gonna have to stop

504
00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: the run. I mean, that's the biggest thing that Jaguars

505
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: are gonna have to stop the run and make them

506
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: a one dimensional team, and that's really hard to do

507
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: against the cults. Also a preview of this week's visit

508
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,919
Speaker 1: with Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. The

509
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,359
Speaker 1: full version comes up this weekend on the Official Jaguars

510
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,080
Speaker 1: Podcast network, talking this week about the red zone issues

511
00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: in Week one for the Jaguars and much more. Yeah,

512
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: you definitely want to close those out, you know, take

513
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: advantage of those opportunities. You know they were there, you

514
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,160
Speaker 1: know they came out driving the ball. Well, got down there.

515
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:54,000
Speaker 1: I think it was third and fourteen from like the

516
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 1: fourteen or something like that, or fifteen or something. You know,

517
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: those eyes have converted are extremely low. You know, they

518
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:03,679
Speaker 1: do have to finish out JP. You know that along

519
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,040
Speaker 1: with early tackling woes, you know, because the commanders they

520
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: weren't doing anything extremely sexy. You know, they were just

521
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,160
Speaker 1: taking advantage of what the defense was giving them, which

522
00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 1: was soft coverage and miss tackles. Early on in the

523
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: second half, they buckled that up. You know, they got

524
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: better and I think they ended up going to for

525
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: two in the red zone right in the in the

526
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: second half. Uh, to finish two five. Just a few things,

527
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: being better in the red zone, tackling early so the

528
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:35,360
Speaker 1: other team can't build up their confidence, and then uh,

529
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 1: third down defense getting the other team off the field,

530
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:41,840
Speaker 1: you know, giving your offense the opportunity to you know,

531
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: execute and capitalize when they are you know, out there.

532
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 1: So some things that clean up and hopefully today as

533
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 1: the day they do that. Fred Taylor with us, let's

534
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:56,080
Speaker 1: flip it the defense. Now. Last season, Fred, the Jaguars

535
00:26:56,119 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 1: had nine takeaways all year long. Awful they that's awful, right,

536
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 1: They had three in Week one. That's a good step

537
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: in the right direction. Impact players making big time plays.

538
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: The most spectacular of those, though, was the Trayvon Walker

539
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,800
Speaker 1: interception where he comes off and jumps in front of

540
00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: the screen and stiff arms a guy and for the

541
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: quarterback cutting him and tackle and he's in for the

542
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: end into the end zone for a touchdown. It's a

543
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: great It's a good beginning for him. What can he

544
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: do more in this defense? He's gonna be tested to

545
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: to really see what he can do today. You know.

546
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 1: A week ago, Yeah, they played a team that wasn't

547
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,280
Speaker 1: as dynamic as this coach team is gonna be because

548
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 1: we know what the coaches want to do. You know,

549
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: they want to come in and pound it and give

550
00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 1: the ball to Jonathan Taylor thirty one times again if

551
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,199
Speaker 1: they can afford that. You know, the good thing that

552
00:27:53,280 --> 00:27:56,960
Speaker 1: I noticed from our overall defense is that they're pretty

553
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 1: stout versus the run. You know, they look pretty good

554
00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: versus the run. What I said earlier about them coming

555
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:07,359
Speaker 1: up being better tacklers, not letting the ball carries carrier

556
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: getting started, uh, is what they need to improve that.

557
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: But across the front, they look pretty stout against the

558
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: run and they're gonna need that today. And I think

559
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:21,119
Speaker 1: just overall, you know, rallying to the ball being you know, uh,

560
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 1: turnover happy, hustling in those plays will create turnovers. And

561
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:28,840
Speaker 1: I really think that they have a great opportunity to

562
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:33,639
Speaker 1: go out there play some amazing defense, minimize Pittman. You know,

563
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be the number one target for Matt Ryan

564
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 1: and Jonathan Taylor. That's where it all starts. It's a

565
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: different type of game playing this week, but I think

566
00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 1: they're capable of getting it done. I will go out

567
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: on limb j P and I know we got more time,

568
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,400
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna guarantee this win. I just I know

569
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: that in the past, I've you know, I'm not out

570
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:56,560
Speaker 1: there playing obviously, so my my word don't always mean

571
00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,719
Speaker 1: a lot in the in my heart of hearts, you know,

572
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,720
Speaker 1: Looking at how the team looked a week ago, looking

573
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: at how the Colts play versity the Texans, I do

574
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 1: think we can stop the run. It's gonna be all

575
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 1: day dog fight. I think we can start to stop

576
00:29:11,400 --> 00:29:15,120
Speaker 1: the run. I've never really been overly impressed with Matt Ryan,

577
00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: and I think we can get after him as well.

578
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,160
Speaker 1: With the front. So with that, if we get opportunistic

579
00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: in a turnover category stop the run, we can win

580
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 1: this game because our offense is going to score on

581
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:31,160
Speaker 1: their defense again. The exclusive extended interview with McCarthy and
