1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,640
Speaker 1: Countdown. The kickoff continues, the Jaguars and the Cincinnati Bengals

2
00:00:03,640 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: coming up in Week four or one o'clock kickoff time

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: today at Paul Brown Stadium in Cincinnati on the banks

4
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: of the Ohio River. The guy who's played a few

5
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 1: games in Cincinnati over the years is Fred Taylor, pride

6
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:16,880
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars running back. What's up, Fred? All as

7
00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:19,320
Speaker 1: good j p A. Those are games that I looked

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,800
Speaker 1: forward to. I knew for a fact pretty were pretty

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: close to the fact that I was going to get

10
00:00:24,840 --> 00:00:29,840
Speaker 1: a hundred yard that they were our prunching bag. They

11
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: played some closed games. Man. They just recently finished with

12
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: a tie the week prior to that, and they lost

13
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:36,880
Speaker 1: by five. In the opening week they lost by three,

14
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:39,800
Speaker 1: so they've they've been fighting, so they're not so much

15
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:41,879
Speaker 1: a punching bag as they were back in the day.

16
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 1: But that was a game that I always looked forward to. Yeah,

17
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:47,640
Speaker 1: it would be nice if the Jaguars could replicate that,

18
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: of course, what you used to do up there, or

19
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: replicate what they did last season up there. The Jags

20
00:00:52,680 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: went for over two hundred on the ground last year

21
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. Now they've tried to upgrade the defense in

22
00:00:57,680 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 1: the off season there in Cincinnati. But the Wars have

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 1: a new running back this year as well, James Robinson,

24
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: undrafted player. We talked about him every week, but his

25
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: three d thirty nine scrimmage yards are the most for

26
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: an undrafted player through three games in league history. He's

27
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 1: doing some big things here for the Jags. You just

28
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: gotta get that running game going a little earlier in

29
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,560
Speaker 1: the game. It's been tough. Yea, you know what, he

30
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,759
Speaker 1: has done some special things and uh, I salute him,

31
00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 1: I slew him for his effort, his hard work. I mean,

32
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 1: he really looked like a guy who should have been drafted.

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:29,680
Speaker 1: This week is definitely a week to build in the

34
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: thirty one in the league and rush defense. So this

35
00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: is an opportunity. It's a great opportunity for the offensive line.

36
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: You know, they should sit back and consider the feast.

37
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: The key JP is going to be if the defense

38
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: starts fast and not allow the offense to to have

39
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: to play from behind where they can't mix up to

40
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: play calls and or can't you know, call more runs

41
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: to give James that opportunity. So the key for me,

42
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: again as it is every week, is how fast will

43
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: the defense Fred Taylor with US one more offensive. Though

44
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: DJ Chart missed last week's game, how much did they

45
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: miss his presence? Especially downfield? Ah, he's a huge influence.

46
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, coming in, it starts starting to shine, you know,

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: with with the connection between him and Gardener, him and Menshew.

48
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: So I really believe that when you take away the

49
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks the number one option, you know, much like if

50
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: you watch the Monday night game Drew Brees, uh, without

51
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: Michael Thomas and the Saints, they're your progressions aren't the

52
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: same because you're used to seeing you know, a certain

53
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: number out there, you know, and it's just one of

54
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: those things where you can just out of a flash boom,

55
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: my guy, he's over there. I know where my guy

56
00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 1: is pre snap each and every snap. Uh and going

57
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 1: back to it. And no, I haven't watched the film,

58
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 1: but in my mind, I do believe on the offense

59
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 1: sideline and they're streaking down the field with Chris Connolly

60
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 1: wide open for a post. If that had been DJ Chart,

61
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: immediately being that he's the number one guy, he's the

62
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: ultimate threat out there, Menshew would have found him and

63
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: maybe the team would have had that fast start and

64
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: scored on the first play of the game, much like

65
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 1: we did when I was able to catch out on

66
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:10,360
Speaker 1: a Savity plush Ard touchdown. So he's a huge influence.

67
00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: He's a difference maker. The defenses have to play honest,

68
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:17,640
Speaker 1: they have to play cover two, which allows opportunities in

69
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: the run game. But when he's not out there, defenses

70
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,200
Speaker 1: are gonna bring eight in the box. They're gonna play

71
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:26,240
Speaker 1: single high safety in disrespect the other receivers that are

72
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: on the field, and it's gonna make it a tough

73
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: night for the entire offense. Fred Taylor with us friend

74
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: of the Jaguars running back on countdown to kick off.

75
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: You mentioned the defense and the slow starts. Another one

76
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:40,920
Speaker 1: last week, three consecutive touchdown drives to open the game

77
00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins on Thursday night. What is the

78
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: trick to a faster start on defense? Is there a

79
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: magic bullet that can fix this thing? And or is

80
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: it just playing better overall? You know, I wish there

81
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: was a little hocus polk. JP will be three and

82
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 1: oh right now, because I'll be the magician that no

83
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: one has ever seen before. I think with the defense,

84
00:04:02,200 --> 00:04:05,000
Speaker 1: they are limited across the board. There's not a lot

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: of depth, and we're actually praying and hoping that these

86
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: young guys are studying hard during the week. We hope

87
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: it translates to execution on the field on Sunday. You're

88
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: kind of skating on thin ice. But to answer your question, UH,

89
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,640
Speaker 1: it has to be a marriage of of things and opportunity. Uh.

90
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:27,640
Speaker 1: Play calling that has to be right on point, and

91
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,760
Speaker 1: the guys have to be in position to make those plays.

92
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: They have to understand the situation so they can think

93
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: of play ahead and that will allow them to play

94
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:41,400
Speaker 1: faster from an individual standpoint. Now, when you put that

95
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:44,839
Speaker 1: together as a group collectively, it should result in the

96
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:49,640
Speaker 1: defense playing faster, getting after the quarterback on third down.

97
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,919
Speaker 1: That's always key into playing fast from a defensive standpoint.

98
00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us, you're mentioning the past rush here.

99
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: There has been really a lack of pass rush for

100
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense this year. They have three sacks all season,

101
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 1: one in each game. But it feels like this could

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: be a get right game for the Jags pass rush.

103
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,279
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow has been, as you mentioned earlier, a punching

104
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: bag this year. He's been hit thirty one times, eighteen

105
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 1: last week and he was sacked eight times with against

106
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: the Eagles. Can they get home this week? If you

107
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: don't get home this week, it might be a while, right.

108
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,720
Speaker 1: It all starts with the pass rush. If they can't

109
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,200
Speaker 1: rush the passer, it's gonna be a lot of thinking dumps,

110
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: much like what the Dolphins did last week. And it's

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,360
Speaker 1: gonna expose a lot of things, whether it's your man

112
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: coverage or your zone coverage. You have to be able

113
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:38,720
Speaker 1: to have that pass rush up front because the guys

114
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: in the back they can't cover all day. But that

115
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: has to marry up. You know, it's not a one

116
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: level thing when it comes to defense more so, uh,

117
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,960
Speaker 1: if someone makes a mistake on defense, it's gonna be exploited.

118
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned Burrow being hit a lot. Now he's still

119
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:56,920
Speaker 1: a young guy, but he's a feisty, you know, strong

120
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:59,479
Speaker 1: young guy who's gonna keep coming at you because he

121
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:00,960
Speaker 1: has a tor on his show and he wants to

122
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: prove a lot. This is the week, I'm sure Josh Allen,

123
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: you know he's biting at the chop to uh to

124
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,880
Speaker 1: to get out there and get after him. So you know,

125
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: I'm I'm really gonna tune in to see what happens

126
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:15,719
Speaker 1: this week, because if this isn't the week, I don't

127
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: think there's gonna be a week. Josh Allen Tayle and

128
00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: Jason Dan Smooth for that matter, all person should be excited.

129
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,039
Speaker 1: He should be excited his former teammate. So, I mean, hey,

130
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: I got so excited when I had an opportunity to

131
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 1: hitch upon cursing the Ribs on some past blocking there.

132
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: So get geeked up, man, Let's go go get him

133
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:39,200
Speaker 1: Fred great stuff. We will talk to you a little

134
00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: bit later in postgame coming up, JP. I'm looking forward

135
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,599
Speaker 1: to a bus all right. When we returned, Jeff logum

136
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: And has the final word with head coach Doug moron

137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: the Jags and the Bengals coming up in Week four.

138
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 1: And this is countdown to Kickoff on Jaguars Radio
