22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,640
Speaker 4: at a time in that one game this Sunday, one o'clock,

23
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 4: the Tennessee Titans in town.

24
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:11,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, huge game.

25
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 6: I mean it's a division rival. I mean, everybody knows

26
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:19,120
Speaker 6: the history of this, uh, this game, this team, the

27
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 6: Tennessee Titans, and and what it's meant to the organization.

28
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,800
Speaker 6: What big game has been on the line, divisions have

29
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 6: been on the line, chances to go to the Super

30
00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 6: Bowl ben on the line again, the chance to win

31
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:31,240
Speaker 6: the Divisions on the line against the Titans.

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 5: And it's a It's a team that has a really good.

33
00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 6: Defense and has been playing a lot of really good

34
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 6: football lately, scoring a lot of points on offense with

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,440
Speaker 6: the young quarterback running the ball with Tony Pollard. So

36
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 6: they're coming in here. They made it clear, their coach

37
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 6: said it. They're coming in here to beat us and

38
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:51,240
Speaker 6: make sure we don't win the division, as you would expect,

39
00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 6: no different than we would be doing if we were

40
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 6: going there and trying to do the same thing. So

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,640
Speaker 6: it's gonna be a great game, the biggest game in

42
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 6: the history of the franchise coming up, and it's another

43
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 6: opportunity for us to go out and prove who we

44
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 6: are as a team. And the style of play that

45
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 6: we have and put it out there and go see

46
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 6: what happens.

47
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: We had another biggest game in the history of the franchise, James,

48
00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 4: and this one certainly does qualify division titles out there.

49
00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think at this stage our group understands the

50
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:27,240
Speaker 2: weight of this well. At the same time, I think

51
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: there's focus on the idea that it's just want to know,

52
00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,320
Speaker 2: it's no different than any other that we played. In reality,

53
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,200
Speaker 2: We've got to do our part, come through one play

54
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 2: to the next and see how after sixty minutes things unfold,

55
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 2: be happy with the result, knowing we can look in

56
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 2: the mirror and say we did what we needed to,

57
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 2: did what we could and go from there. So I'm

58
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 2: looking forward to obviously the remainder of this week and

59
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 2: the preparation that we have in front of us, knowing

60
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 2: that Sunday is going to be a great product for

61
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: our fan base to see in real time and be

62
00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 2: able to, you know, hopefully see what we all want

63
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: at the end of it.

64
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 4: Division title certainly out there. The Jaguars can be any

65
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 4: seat except the four seed in the playoffs depending on

66
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 4: what happens in Week eighteen, but a win secures at

67
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:13,120
Speaker 4: least the number three seed, and some other things have

68
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: to happen. We can go all kinds of directions with

69
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:18,800
Speaker 4: the way the Jags have been playing lately, but let's

70
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 4: start with the quarterback play last week. Two turnovers in

71
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 4: the red zone, one on a fumble and the hooking

72
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 4: later will play. And then in the red zone two

73
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 4: minute drive before halftime, throws the interception but then finds

74
00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 4: away with his legs and keeps scoring touchdowns. Two on

75
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 4: the ground last week for Lawrence, they're moving the ball

76
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: down the field, over four hundred yards of offense again

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 4: and he just continues to find ways James to get

78
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 4: his team down the field and into the end zone

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 4: more often than not.

80
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's been extremely impressive to watch, and you got

81
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 2: to appreciate just the zoomed out vantage point here of

82
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 2: our team winning in different ways and knowing that we

83
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: got into a deficit against the Colts, know not panicking.

84
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:04,320
Speaker 2: The look in everybody's eyes remained fierce. You know, the

85
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 2: efficiency on both sides of this ball was there from

86
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 2: starting to finish. It was finishing, it was capping drives

87
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,640
Speaker 2: the right way and luckily, by the time the clock

88
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: went down to zero. It was, in fact the case

89
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: more often than not, but to not flinch and to

90
00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,840
Speaker 2: see his poise, his toughness continue to show through. I mean,

91
00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 2: there were throws throughout the course of that game where

92
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 2: he's stepping up into contact and delivering the ball in

93
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 2: places where only our wide receivers could get it, in

94
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,679
Speaker 2: the instances where it was a challenge. Wide receivers are

95
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 2: coming through in some really big moments, and you know,

96
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 2: our offensive line being in position. You know, we've had

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 2: eight starting offensive line combinations throughout the course of this year,

98
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,159
Speaker 2: and you know, to be able to continue to put

99
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: ourselves in positions to feel like we're not getting too

100
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: far behind the sticks consistently, and we're able to open

101
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: up running lanes and we're able to protect developed some

102
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 2: intermediate and third level concepts. You know, it's a really

103
00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 2: impressive thing to see unfold here. And I think, as

104
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 2: I want to say we've alluded to a couple different

105
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: times throughout the course of this season on this show,

106
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 2: is look what we came into the season looking like

107
00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 2: has evolved. And that's really inspiring, right, That's what you

108
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 2: want to see because what we were the first quarter

109
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: of the season wasn't who we were the next quarter

110
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,280
Speaker 2: and who we were in the third quarter, and it's

111
00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: not here who we are in.

112
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 5: The fourth quarter.

113
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 2: And I think that will continue to be the case

114
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 2: as we inch into the postseason, knowing that there's still

115
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 2: iterations of this team that we have yet to see

116
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 2: in different levels that we still have yet to breach.

117
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 4: Is there anything Jags trailed ten nothing last week's game?

118
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 4: There have been other games this year where the Jags

119
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 4: have trailed and rallied to come back and win, but

120
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 4: this was on a run of games where the Jaguars

121
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 4: are dominating opponents and winning by a large margin. Is it,

122
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 4: in any way a good thing that they had to

123
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:02,480
Speaker 4: rally from ten last week?

124
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:02,839
Speaker 7: Yeah?

125
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:04,479
Speaker 5: I don't know if it's good or bad.

126
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 6: I think I think what showed up and what continues

127
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:10,160
Speaker 6: to show up in credit to our coaching staff and

128
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 6: our players, is what James alluded to early is like, Hey,

129
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 6: we're gonna approach it. We've got to go win this game.

130
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 6: We want to zero and worry about how we play

131
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 6: the game, about us and the effort, the competitiveness, the toughness,

132
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 6: the style of play, and let the outcome be the outcome.

133
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 6: And I think the team showed that you know, we've

134
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,600
Speaker 6: done We've won games a lot of different ways. We've

135
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 6: had a lot of different iterations this season. Is how

136
00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:36,760
Speaker 6: games have gone.

137
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 5: And this was a case where it did not go

138
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 5: our way.

139
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:44,159
Speaker 6: Early, they got the lead, we had some turnovers that

140
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 6: put us behind the ball a little bit. But I

141
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,320
Speaker 6: think what James said and kind of what Liam has

142
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 6: been preaching to this team and what this team believes

143
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 6: and who they are is they're just going to keep.

144
00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:56,279
Speaker 5: On playing, keep competing.

145
00:06:56,839 --> 00:06:59,599
Speaker 6: And because of that, you don't see a team that

146
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 6: panic at the game, didn't feel like, oh no, you

147
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,400
Speaker 6: know we're behind, let's start pressing, let's trying to do

148
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 6: too much, Let's try to get you know, make the

149
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 6: big player, whatever that is. And instead of just hey,

150
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 6: let's go play the next down, let's play the next series,

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,880
Speaker 6: Let's just keep on going and play our style and

152
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 6: see what happens when the clock's on triple zeros and

153
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 6: I think that needs to be approached this week against

154
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 6: a good Titan team coming to town, a good defense,

155
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 6: they got, you know a lot of people say, well

156
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,320
Speaker 6: what do they have to play.

157
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 5: For, Well, they got a lot of good players, playing

158
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: for pride.

159
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 6: They got a Pro Bowl probably the best defensive player

160
00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 6: or defensive linement in football, and Jeffrey Simmons. They got

161
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,320
Speaker 6: electric putt return, they got a young quarterback. These are

162
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 6: guys that have pride and you can see it the

163
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 6: way they've played lately, and so we know that they're

164
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 6: going to come out and so our job is whether it's.

165
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,920
Speaker 5: The Titans or the Colts or whoever we're.

166
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 6: Playing, understanding especially these division games are going to be

167
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 6: much more intense. We got to just come play our

168
00:07:58,080 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 6: style football and worry what happens when the clock's at

169
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 6: triple zero at that moment, until then to go play

170
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 6: each down and see what happens.

171
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,360
Speaker 4: We'll get into the matchups coming up in a little bit,

172
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 4: the Jaguars and the Titans in Week eighteen. But James

173
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 4: Gladstone Tony Boselli with us on JAG's HQ. James, you

174
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 4: touched on it, and you can really make that case.

175
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,920
Speaker 4: On the offensive line, these guys step it in. You said,

176
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 4: eight different lineups. Similar in the secondary. Early in the season,

177
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 4: they had a bunch of guys step in there. Jordan

178
00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 4: Lewis is now down for the year. They're having to

179
00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 4: do it a little bit again on the back end,

180
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,400
Speaker 4: but having yeah, a full fifty three roster plus some

181
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 4: practice squad guys contribute week over week, and Tony on

182
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,160
Speaker 4: the offensive line, especially the degree of difficulty of that

183
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,840
Speaker 4: and maintaining consistency, it's huge.

184
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 5: It's credit to the guys.

185
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,720
Speaker 6: It's credit to our coaches, whether you talk about the secondary,

186
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 6: what they've done our offensive line with the different combinations

187
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 6: of starters. You look at both cases, guys that you know.

188
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 6: I'll look at a guy like Walker little start of

189
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 6: the season, his left tackle gets injured, cold Van Landon

190
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 6: goes in there, starts playing very well, and next thing

191
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 6: you know, hey, Walker, we need you to play right

192
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 6: right guard. Did not blink, did not question it, said hey,

193
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,320
Speaker 6: ready to go, jumps in and goes out mid game

194
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 6: and then comes in to start the game against Indianapolis

195
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 6: and gets the job done. You can do the same

196
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:15,319
Speaker 6: thing at secondary. You look at the secondary guy like

197
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 6: Jarion Jones playing a lot of reps early, other guys

198
00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 6: start playing, playing more of a special team's role. All

199
00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 6: of a sudden, because of injuries opportunities, his performance is

200
00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 6: now elevated into a more of a starting position, and

201
00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 6: what does he do, goes out making plays, getting his

202
00:09:31,679 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 6: hands in the ball, big plays, big tackles, interceptions. It's

203
00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 6: credit to those guys. And you can go down the

204
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,520
Speaker 6: list on this team of guys who've come up, been

205
00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 6: elevated from the practice squad, making impacts practice squad to

206
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 6: actor rock roster like a Matt Diggerson started the season

207
00:09:46,160 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 6: giving us great looks, earn the opportunity to be on

208
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 6: the fifty three. Now is playing significant STAPs and he's

209
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 6: doing a great job helping him stop the run. And

210
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 6: it's a credit to our coaches and our players that

211
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 6: it's an unsell this group that has become very close

212
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 6: knit and are playing together and playing for each other.

213
00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:07,880
Speaker 6: And when you do that, man, that's what that's what

214
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 6: being the team's all about. And we keep on seeing

215
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 6: it show up, and it's going to need to show

216
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 6: up for the rest of the season because you just don't

217
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 6: know what's going to happen in the course of any

218
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 6: game and who's going to need to be called upon

219
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 6: to make that play.

220
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 4: James, was there a point in the season where you

221
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: really saw that maybe turn It was happening early in

222
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 4: the season too, even though the results may not have

223
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 4: been there all the time, but is there a certain

224
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 4: part of the season where you're like, Okay, this.

225
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 3: Is where we're a pretty deep team.

226
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:35,080
Speaker 4: We have guys that can contribute from all different parts

227
00:10:35,080 --> 00:10:37,599
Speaker 4: of the team, and then all of a sudden the

228
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,320
Speaker 4: winning results come to When was that.

229
00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 7: For you or was there a specific point?

230
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's hard to There are so many things within

231
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,520
Speaker 2: this space, right within a football space where there's there's

232
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: not necessarily a singular moment, but rather a gradual build.

233
00:10:49,480 --> 00:10:52,080
Speaker 2: Now you think back to our offseason approach and you

234
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 2: probably remember the phrase of raising the floor of the

235
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: football team. I remember it was a priority. And obviously,

236
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: through the core of any given football year, Uh, most

237
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 2: teams are gonna experience some version of attrition. There are

238
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: positions that typically experience a higher volume than most year

239
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:13,720
Speaker 2: over year. But obviously we saw it across every single

240
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: position group, uh this season, with the exception being that

241
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 2: of our specialists.

242
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 3: Uh.

243
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 2: Now, if you think back to our Tennessee Titans.

244
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:25,000
Speaker 3: Game, we did we did have to fill the gap

245
00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:25,480
Speaker 3: there for a.

246
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,840
Speaker 2: Quarter, maybe a quarter and a half, but uh, you know,

247
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 2: cut he come back from from our guy there a

248
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:37,840
Speaker 2: long snapper. But you know, Ross was definitely having a

249
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: fun day that day, battling through some stuff. He had

250
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 2: a warriors mentality, Uh, there's no question. But nonetheless, I think, uh,

251
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 2: a lot of the time it's opportunity. Uh, and I

252
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:52,600
Speaker 2: think the belief, uh, the understanding that, look, there's gonna

253
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: be some leadership on the front end of a lot

254
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,720
Speaker 2: of these groups, and guys are gonna have to be

255
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,880
Speaker 2: accepting to that leadership been being the waiting for when

256
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,320
Speaker 2: their opportunity strikes. And you know, we can mention a

257
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 2: ton of people as a part of this. But Antonio

258
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: Johnson has been playing some really good football and it

259
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 2: wasn't that he had starting spot labeled heading into this season,

260
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 2: but at this stage, I mean, every week he seems

261
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 2: to show up in a real way. I think that

262
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,960
Speaker 2: that's pretty clear and evident. And you know when you

263
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: look across the other side of the ball and what

264
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,920
Speaker 2: safeties typically line up against our tight ends. Quintin Moore

265
00:12:28,960 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 2: started on a practice squad as well and earned his

266
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,040
Speaker 2: path through special teams and then I think most everybody

267
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 2: saw what he did against the Chargers as a starting

268
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 2: tight end and really solidified his place within the team.

269
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,760
Speaker 2: So those contributors that allow us to endure a long

270
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 2: season have really shown shown up throughout the course of

271
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 2: not only the back end of the season, but really

272
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: when we hit our biggest injury bug in the middle

273
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 2: of the season the most, and that's just allowed for

274
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 2: as people began to get back in health. You feel

275
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:04,680
Speaker 2: like there's quality depth behind those that we're seeing play

276
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 2: a high volume of snaffs and not being afraid of

277
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 2: what lies in front of us should somebody go down.

278
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,280
Speaker 6: And I think so much of this it shows up

279
00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 6: on game day, There's no doubt about that. And I

280
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,439
Speaker 6: think that's where everybody can see at our fans as

281
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,040
Speaker 6: you guys are watching JP. But I think what jumps

282
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 6: out of me is you watch the preparation. Because to

283
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,320
Speaker 6: have the ability for multiple guys to step up into

284
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,240
Speaker 6: multiple different roles, it takes a lot of work from

285
00:13:29,320 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 6: the individuals and the coaches, and I think one of

286
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 6: the things that this group has done throughout the season

287
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 6: is put the extra work in. I mean, you can

288
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,959
Speaker 6: go look out and see our guys on their owns

289
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,080
Speaker 6: on the practice fields, communicating, working together, calling their own meetings,

290
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 6: getting time in the meeting room together, going through it,

291
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,840
Speaker 6: players helping players, not just the coaches are doing a

292
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,559
Speaker 6: great job, but then these veteran players working with younger guys,

293
00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 6: the communication being at a very high level throughout the week,

294
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 6: trying to prepare for the opponent that is coming up.

295
00:14:00,760 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 6: And that's where you're able to have multiple guys step

296
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:09,319
Speaker 6: up on a Sunday when something happens where someone has

297
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,000
Speaker 6: to be put into a position that maybe they aren't

298
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 6: used to playing or haven't got as many reps. But

299
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 6: because of that communication, because of the the unselfish nature

300
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 6: of these guys working together throughout the week and with

301
00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:23,520
Speaker 6: our coaching staff, that's the thing that jumps out, and

302
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 6: that's the thing that's fun. And the fun part is

303
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,560
Speaker 6: when you see it be paid off and when you

304
00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 6: see guys have success, and that's what we need to

305
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 6: continue to do.

306
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 5: We have a lot of work ahead of us.

307
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 6: We have accomplished nothing at this point, and so in Sundays,

308
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 6: the next test to go in the next opportunity, more

309
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 6: than anything, to go show that.

310
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 7: We'll come back and take a look at that opportunity.

311
00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 4: And some of the matchups, including a guy that you

312
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 4: just mentioned a while ago, Jeffrey Simmons.

313
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 6: Pretty good player, pretty des Yeah, he's a good one,

314
00:14:52,240 --> 00:14:52,680
Speaker 6: pretty dee.

315
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 3: We'll take into how to block him when we come back.

316
00:14:55,280 --> 00:15:06,400
Speaker 3: It's jar that work Welcome back.

Speaker 4: quickly as we speak.

327
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:35,760
Speaker 3: Though.

328
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 4: The Titans come to town, they're out of the mix,

329
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 4: but they've got some players. As Tony you alluded to

330
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,440
Speaker 4: earlier that I really want to play at a high level.

331
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Simmons is a Pro Bowl selection at defensive tackle,

332
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:49,160
Speaker 4: a career high ten sacks this year.

333
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 3: He's had a sack or more in all six.

334
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:54,240
Speaker 4: Of his road games this year. Of both things, and

335
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 4: to fifty eight quarterback pressures. He leads all defensive tackles

336
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 4: and all those categories.

337
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 3: So how do you block him?

338
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 6: Well, Number one, he's the he is the best interior

339
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 6: defensive lineman in football. And it's not just rushing the passer.

340
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 6: He's outstanding versus the run as well. Him and Sweat

341
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 6: they're one technique and there make it very difficult. One

342
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Speaker 6: of the best rushing defenses really the back half of

343
00:16:16,640 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 6: the season in the NFL. They've done an outstanding job.

344
00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: And so you got a guy who can play both

345
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:25,840
Speaker 6: runner pass. He's a three down defensive lineman. And the

346
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 6: way you block him is you want to get four

347
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 6: hands on him as much as much as possible, and

348
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,320
Speaker 6: so you want to make sure you identify where he

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 6: is and try to get as much of you know,

350
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,280
Speaker 6: as many people and populate the area around him. You know,

351
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 6: we talk about all the time, you know, populating when

352
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 6: you have a great back and making sure you can

353
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:44,800
Speaker 6: tackle him. Well, when you have a great defensive tackle

354
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 6: like Jeffrey Simmons, you got to account for him and

355
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 6: make sure you have a body on him and sometimes

356
00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,080
Speaker 6: two to make sure he can't wreck the game. And

357
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 6: got so much respect for him the way he's played

358
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 6: the game, you know, sometimes you see veteran players back

359
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 6: half of the season, the teams out of it, maybe

360
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 6: take the foot off the pedal, a little bit off

361
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:07,400
Speaker 6: the gas and kind of slowed down a little bit.

362
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:10,360
Speaker 6: Not this guy. I mean, this guy's playing last week.

363
00:17:10,400 --> 00:17:11,919
Speaker 6: He turned on the tape the first three plays of

364
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 6: the game. He's absolutely just wrecking the entire series. And

365
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,040
Speaker 6: so it's something that we're aware of. Got a lot

366
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,159
Speaker 6: of faith in our guys. The good news is they

367
00:17:20,160 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 6: played them a handful of weeks ago, so they understand

368
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 6: the task at hand and the challenge that he's going

369
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,080
Speaker 6: to bring and and I believe our guys will be

370
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 6: up to it. But it's not going to be an

371
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 6: easy day. And you just gotta you gotta respect the player,

372
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 6: get to respect who he is, and you have to

373
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,320
Speaker 6: understand what's in front of you and just account for

374
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:36,360
Speaker 6: it and go play ball.

375
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 5: But boy, he's a fun one to watch when you're

376
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:39,119
Speaker 5: not playing it.

377
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 4: When it's not we can't see it at the bank, James,

378
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't want to see him on the

379
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:46,159
Speaker 4: other side. So Tony thinks he's the best, is he

380
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 4: He's right there at the top right in terms of

381
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 4: defensive tackles in the league. What what stands out about. Yeah,

382
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,680
Speaker 4: it's just energy that he brings. It's not just it's

383
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,919
Speaker 4: talent during the game, but he's barking at people. I mean,

384
00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 4: he kind of brings life to that.

385
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 2: Defense, undoubtedly, and he also brings, you know, power. So

386
00:18:05,680 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: it's hard not to at least see the torque show

387
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 2: up once or twice where an NFL offensive lineman is

388
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:20,719
Speaker 2: in fact being launched across the line of scrimmish public

389
00:18:21,760 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 2: that's right, that's right. So that shows up quite frequently.

390
00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 2: But aside from from Jeff, you got sweat next to him,

391
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,960
Speaker 2: who is playing his best ball of his two year

392
00:18:33,040 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: career to date. And so that rush defense is in

393
00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:41,679
Speaker 2: fact a real problem for us to try to work through. Obviously,

394
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 2: we have our work cut out for us, but like

395
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,920
Speaker 2: Tony alluded to, certainly feel good about this crop of

396
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 2: guys that we have going into the game and the

397
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 2: coaching staff developing the right plans to you know, try

398
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:56,480
Speaker 2: to attack it in the ways that it will allow

399
00:18:56,560 --> 00:19:00,480
Speaker 2: us to see positive results. But beyond it, it's is

400
00:19:00,560 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: just going to require a group effort and all eleven.

401
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 2: If we're thinking specifically about what our run game looks

402
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 2: like and how that can bear fruit here on Sunday.

403
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:12,159
Speaker 4: What about the rest of the defense for the Titans.

404
00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:14,000
Speaker 4: There's some guys in lands and report this week the

405
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 4: back end, But what else stands out?

406
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,680
Speaker 2: You know what that linebacking group, right, they're leading their

407
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: team in tackles, and Barton, who has been with a

408
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,400
Speaker 2: couple of teams, is getting his hand on the football.

409
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 2: And you know, Sedric Gray, who's still on his rookie contract,

410
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 2: is leading the team in tackles and is somebody that

411
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: they should feel really good about moving forward because he's

412
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:35,439
Speaker 2: all over the field. And you know, obviously, when you

413
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 2: have not only the front level, but the second level

414
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 2: of the defense provide an impact and supporting the run,

415
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,040
Speaker 2: it can be a challenging aspect for the offensive line

416
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 2: who's trying to take care of the first level but

417
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:49,000
Speaker 2: has to account for the second level as well as

418
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 2: those guys scrape and create disruption. So obviously not an

419
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 2: easy task, but certainly one that we're looking forward to.

420
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 2: And you know, this, this team that we're facing, just

421
00:19:59,400 --> 00:20:02,240
Speaker 2: like we've mentioned about us, right, has evolved over the

422
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 2: course of the season. Well, this team has evolved over

423
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 2: the last handful of weeks, right, we're about the face

424
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,800
Speaker 2: is a much different operation than what we did five

425
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 2: weeks ago, and so not only defensively, when you look

426
00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 2: at the offensive side of the ball, the way that

427
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:21,440
Speaker 2: cam Ward's playing is much improved. It's much more efficient

428
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 2: than when we last saw him. You know, the way

429
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,880
Speaker 2: he's taking care of the ball looks quite a bit

430
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 2: different from both passes and pocket manipulation and where he's

431
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: placing that ball in his hands. And you got to

432
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 2: give those guys a ton of credit, in particular him

433
00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 2: because he looks like a matured quarterback and obviously has

434
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:44,040
Speaker 2: a really good feel for what he wants to get

435
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,879
Speaker 2: accomplished on each play at this point in comparison to

436
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 2: many of the rookies that you see in the early

437
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 2: going of the season, and with Poward running the way

438
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 2: that he is and if he's able to find his footing,

439
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,840
Speaker 2: it can be a tough pair to really wrangle, especially

440
00:20:57,880 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 2: when you got tight ends that they're really featuring as well.

441
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,480
Speaker 4: What is the best part Awards game the last five

442
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: weeks or so?

443
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: What stands out the most?

444
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think because there was such a notable piece

445
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 2: of it at the beginning of the season. It's his

446
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 2: ball security, and it's not only as a passer, but

447
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,160
Speaker 2: like I said, went in the pocket and I think

448
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: it was eight through the first half of the season

449
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 2: on the fumble count. It's only been one since. Right,

450
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:26,400
Speaker 2: that's a big shift. So clearly he's not risking it

451
00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,760
Speaker 2: as frequently or being as loose with it as he

452
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 2: once was, and he's being very mindful while at the

453
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,520
Speaker 2: same time remaining a passer, and that's a dangerous combination.

454
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:37,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think when you look at camra Ward, what

455
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 6: he's doing in the pocket is he still extending plays,

456
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:43,160
Speaker 6: but he's being smart with the football. There's a better

457
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 6: awareness as he's buying time. He's a natural guy. He

458
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 6: has a natural ability just to find space in the pocket,

459
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 6: and he's not necessarily going to be.

460
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,439
Speaker 5: A guy who wants to run first.

461
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 6: He can run, he's athletic, but he's really a guy

462
00:21:56,040 --> 00:21:58,639
Speaker 6: trying to use that harm and find someone down the

463
00:21:58,680 --> 00:22:01,720
Speaker 6: field on an extended play. By watching the tape, you

464
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 6: can see more awareness as he grows and gets more

465
00:22:04,160 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 6: comfortable throughout this rookie season, and I think that's a

466
00:22:07,920 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 6: big reason why you have better ball security from him.

467
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,560
Speaker 6: But also I think a big part of that is

468
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 6: you got Tony Paller going. I mean, he's running the

469
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 6: ball really good the last four or five.

470
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 7: Weeks, has three hundred yard games in that stretch.

471
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's playing I mean in that offensive line is

472
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,639
Speaker 6: doing a good job of playing physical getting to the

473
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,360
Speaker 6: next level. And Tony Pollard, you know, he's a natural,

474
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:32,240
Speaker 6: he sees it very well, good vision between the tackles,

475
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 6: and they're doing a great job there. And they've had

476
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 6: a little bit of an RPO to their game as

477
00:22:36,400 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 6: well with Cam Wore. That's really opened up some things

478
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 6: for in both the run and pass. So the way

479
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 6: what Mike McCoy's doing in their coaching staff with that

480
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 6: young with the young quarterback in that office, and how.

481
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 5: They continue to learn and continue to.

482
00:22:49,880 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 6: Evolve to really fit what he does best and what

483
00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:56,400
Speaker 6: their their players do best. Hats off to them because

484
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 6: be easy just to be stuck in you know who

485
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 6: you are, and hey, this is what we do and

486
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,720
Speaker 6: they got to figure it out. And no, this is

487
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 6: a good coaching staff that's saying, hey, we're gonna evolve

488
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,960
Speaker 6: and put our players in the best position. And because

489
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 6: of that, they're having success. They're moving the ball, they're

490
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 6: scoring points. I believe since we've played them, I think

491
00:23:11,240 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 6: they've scored over twenty five points almost every game.

492
00:23:13,640 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: Yes, every game too. And so they're putting points on

493
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:16,680
Speaker 5: the board.

494
00:23:16,720 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 6: And with that defense that has the ability to shut

495
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 6: the run down and make life difficult for it. It's

496
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 6: a tough matchup and we're gonna have our hands full.

497
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 6: It's gonna be a challenge this Sunday.

498
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 4: Let's come back in a moment. We'll take a look

499
00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:32,800
Speaker 4: at week eighteen one more time. And yes, the moment

500
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 4: is here, the division title on the line, and does

501
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 4: that change any of your pregame tightness?

502
00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 3: Go again?

503
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 7: How do you avoid all that? We'll get to that

504
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:42,840
Speaker 7: coming up.

505
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 3: Food for thought, Tony, I can tell the wheels are

506
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,480
Speaker 3: turning well.

507
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 5: I got some thoughts for you on that.

508
00:23:47,600 --> 00:23:48,719
Speaker 7: I figured you probably did.

509
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:58,960
Speaker 4: It's JAG's HQ on Jaguars Radio.

510

Speaker 4: with you, No Jeff flagman this week Titans Jaguars.

515
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 3: The division title on the line in Week eighteen.

516
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:22,120
Speaker 4: A win or a tie for the Jags in their

517
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 4: division champs or a Texans lost in tie. Don't worry

518
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,720
Speaker 4: about that game. They are at the same time, of course,

519
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:28,639
Speaker 4: on Sunday.

520
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: But it is finally here week eighteen, and hats and shirts.

521
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,040
Speaker 7: Are on the line this week.

522
00:24:35,960 --> 00:24:36,800
Speaker 3: But they've I.

523
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,359
Speaker 4: Mean technically they've kind of been on the line the

524
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 4: last month and a half. Ever since the game in Houston,

525
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 4: there's been really no room for error.

526
00:24:42,880 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 7: In the division.

527
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,360
Speaker 6: I mean, as well as Houston Texans are playing, they've

528
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:48,159
Speaker 6: been winning every week. And I mean, honest with you,

529
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 6: you don't worry about it because the reality is is

530
00:24:52,200 --> 00:24:54,439
Speaker 6: the message we've had since day one is like, hey,

531
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:57,000
Speaker 6: we're gonna worry about us. It's about us. Let's go

532
00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,880
Speaker 6: play our style. It's Week eighteen. It's the same approach

533
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,439
Speaker 6: we've We've operated the same way, we have the same schedule,

534
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 6: we have the same practice, it's the same message. It's

535
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 6: about how we approach the game and how we play

536
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 6: the game. And Liam has said it multiple times, we'll

537
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:18,800
Speaker 6: worry about the outcome at the end of the game.

538
00:25:19,119 --> 00:25:19,399
Speaker 5: Let's go.

539
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 6: Let's go play the game the right way. James said

540
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:25,680
Speaker 6: it earlier in the show tonight. He says, like, let's

541
00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:27,360
Speaker 6: play the game in a way that when you look

542
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:29,479
Speaker 6: yourself in the mirror at the end of it, you

543
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,359
Speaker 6: can be happy with the effort. You can be happy

544
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 6: with how you competed, how you play, type of teammate

545
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 6: you were.

546
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:37,480
Speaker 5: We go do that.

547
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 6: We'll let the rest kind of take care of itself.

548
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,120
Speaker 6: So with that, if you can, you have that, add Toude,

549
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,959
Speaker 6: this is the next opportunity, next chance to go one

550
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 6: to zero, and then we'll worry about all the hoopla

551
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,440
Speaker 6: when whatever happens afterwards. Because if you start worrying about

552
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 6: that now, JP, and you start going into the game

553
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 6: and you know hat and T shirt game or the

554
00:25:56,359 --> 00:26:00,359
Speaker 6: divisions on the line or whatever, well, now and you

555
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 6: have distracted yourself when you're thinking about something outside of

556
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,480
Speaker 6: the very task that is in front of you, the

557
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 6: very opportunity that's in front of you. And I think

558
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,440
Speaker 6: our guys have done a great job this week the

559
00:26:12,520 --> 00:26:15,040
Speaker 6: way they've approached it, because it's been no different than

560
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 6: any other week. And just like we went to Indy

561
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:21,680
Speaker 6: last week, Hey, we got to go go, want to know,

562
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,080
Speaker 6: win that game, and it's gonna be the same approach

563
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 6: this week.

564
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 7: How's your feeling on it, James?

565
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 3: No typness here, right, nothing to add, fair enough love it?

566
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 2: I tony to laugh because that's a yeah, we go

567
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,160
Speaker 2: off script a little bit.

568
00:26:38,440 --> 00:26:41,359
Speaker 5: So JW. Jordan one of our.

569
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: Executives in player personnel. He long was so he came.

570
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:53,000
Speaker 2: He started his career in Indianapolis when they had their

571
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 2: long run with Peyton Manning. He ends up joining the Rams,

572
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:01,200
Speaker 2: starting in Saint Louis, transitioning over to LA But over

573
00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,640
Speaker 2: the course of the years that he was in the NFL,

574
00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 2: he would hear evaluations and people would follow each other

575
00:27:09,560 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: up and just repeat the same thing one after the

576
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: other about describing a player's skill set, and oftentimes it

577
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 2: would be, hey, do you see it any differently than

578
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 2: what was just described?

579
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 8: And person would respond with.

580
00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,240
Speaker 2: No, and then repeat the same thing. But you know,

581
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 2: I see the exact same thing, And so JDub would

582
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,640
Speaker 2: jokingly say, you know what I'm actually going to commit

583
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:37,719
Speaker 2: to when I hear something that I've aligned myself with

584
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 2: or agree with and I want to say no, but

585
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: and then fill in the blank with the exact same thing.

586
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,880
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna in fact stop it. Nothing to add, sure,

587
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 2: close it right there. And so it's not an easy

588
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,560
Speaker 2: thing to do in the space. I can tell you

589
00:27:50,600 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 2: that the best thing.

590
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,919
Speaker 6: Is it's become infectious throughout the attire. So we do,

591
00:27:56,280 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 6: you know, evaluating players, whatever it is. And you constantly

592
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 6: see the system in on calls and everything else. People

593
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 6: now going after someone says something nothing to add.

594
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 7: It's so efficient.

595
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 2: That way becomes much more efficient if it ends in

596
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 2: fact true.

597
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 5: Now that that was a.

598
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:17,399
Speaker 2: True moment, you don't except for a story.

599
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: I'm glad I got it.

600

625
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 4: blew the nineteen point lead in the fourth quarter. Both

626
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,479
Speaker 4: the Texans and the Jaguars seasons turned at that moment.

627
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 4: Jaguars haven't lost since, neither have the Texans, and the

628
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:58,480
Speaker 4: Jaguars have had no room for error at all and

629
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 4: tried to handle and they've been able to handle their

630
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:06,280
Speaker 4: own business, not truly worrying about what Houston's been doing.

631
00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:09,240
Speaker 4: Though both teams have been winning. We've been able to

632
00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 4: look at the standings and see it, of course, that

633
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,680
Speaker 4: they really have had no room for air. It's all

634
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:16,480
Speaker 4: about from the Jaguars perspective, the next week's opponent, how

635
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:19,160
Speaker 4: do you get better as a team, And they've been

636
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 4: able to do that in a lot of different ways.

637
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 4: Certainly defensively, they're playing really well against the run, number

638
00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 4: one in the NFL this season. In run defense, they're

639
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,320
Speaker 4: starting to get a little more pressure in the quarterback.

640
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 4: They could use a few more sacks, and they're one

641
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:35,640
Speaker 4: of the best takeaway teams in the NFL this year,

642
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 4: number two in the league. I think they've tied the

643
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 4: franchise record for interceptions already in a season. And then

644
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 4: on the offensive side of the play, the quarterback, Trevor Lawrence.

645
00:30:43,520 --> 00:30:45,560
Speaker 4: I mean, these guys talked about it just a moment ago.

646
00:30:46,600 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 4: He's been able to find ways to do it different

647
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 4: ways and get this offense down the field. Last week, No,

648
00:30:52,960 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 4: they were moving the football and then had two red

649
00:30:55,000 --> 00:30:58,000
Speaker 4: zone giveaways, the hook and lateral play and then the

650
00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 4: throat of the end zone and the two minute drill

651
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,520
Speaker 4: before halftime was intercepted. But then Lawrence found a way

652
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,680
Speaker 4: with his legs and scored two touchdowns on the ground

653
00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 4: last week, continuing his great run. So two or more

654
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,160
Speaker 4: offensive touchdowns now in seven straight games. It's the Jaguars

655
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,680
Speaker 4: record long reek streak for Trevor Lawrence. Of course, the

656
00:31:16,720 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 4: Jags are on a seven game win streak so far

657
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 4: this season. They've scored twenty three or more nine straight games.

658
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 4: That's one short of the team record back in two

659
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: thousand and seven, and that's after averaging just under twenty

660
00:31:29,080 --> 00:31:31,760
Speaker 4: one points a game in the first seven weeks of

661
00:31:31,760 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 4: the year, and of course after the bye week, totally

662
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 4: different team thirty two points per game. So a lot

663
00:31:36,840 --> 00:31:38,880
Speaker 4: going right for the Jaguars, but they needed to go

664
00:31:38,960 --> 00:31:41,080
Speaker 4: right at least one more week in the regular season

665
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 4: and then it's onto the playoffs and we'll figure out

666
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: the location, winning, where and who coming up Sunday night,

667
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 4: after all the games are done.

668
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 7: We've got plenty ahead.

669
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:51,480

694
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 4: with them earlier this week, and the Jaguars, of course

695
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 4: are facing a division rival for a second time, always

696
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 4: an interesting challenge.

697
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 8: The prep is the prep.

698
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,040
Speaker 9: Obviously, you come to work and a lot of things

699
00:33:26,080 --> 00:33:28,960
Speaker 9: will be you know, repetitive, and you'll do a lot

700
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:31,160
Speaker 9: of the same stuff, but there are also going to

701
00:33:31,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 9: be opportunities in that you know, three or four week

702
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:39,719
Speaker 9: span film study. You want to keep your your core system,

703
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 9: you know, intact, but you want to do those things better.

704
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 9: You want to your dress rehearsal, that part is going

705
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,680
Speaker 9: to be more important to shift the motions, you know,

706
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 9: being able to take advantage of certain situations that they

707
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 9: give you. In it's a tougher you know, chess match,

708
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 9: because guys are going to be able to call out

709
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:02,320
Speaker 9: things you do it just three weeks ago. That's why

710
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 9: you know, he's dress rehearsal, making things look one way,

711
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 9: different formations from the offense, different disguises from the defense.

712
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,760
Speaker 9: You know, who can tricker who the most, and who's

713
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:19,120
Speaker 9: paid the most attention, you know, and that span of time.

714
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 8: So in that JP, you don't always account for turnovers.

715
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,200
Speaker 9: Right you go and you say, all right, this is

716
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 9: what we have to do, this is what we have

717
00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:28,520
Speaker 9: to be good at.

718
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 8: We're going to run our system.

719
00:34:30,480 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 9: But you don't always account turnovers in that So taking

720
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 9: care of the ball is probably going to be the

721
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,680
Speaker 9: most important thing when you play each other, you know,

722
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:42,000
Speaker 9: within just a few weeks.

723
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 4: Fret Taylor with us I have a question about Trevor Lawrence,

724
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 4: and he's I think he's running this offense really efficiently overall.

725
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 4: They moved the ball a bunch last week. But he's

726
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 4: using his legs when he needs to a lot too.

727
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 4: I mean, he's closing in on four thousand passing yards.

728
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,120
Speaker 4: It's like two hundred and sixty yards away. And if

729
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 4: he gets a rushing touchdown, he's like the third quarterback

730
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 4: in league history to have four thousand passing yards and

731
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 4: ten rushing scores in one season. That's pretty remarkable. And

732
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:14,239
Speaker 4: they figured out a way. He knows how to utilize

733
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:15,480
Speaker 4: his legs.

734
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:15,880
Speaker 8: Hey, JP.

735
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,040
Speaker 9: I love the question first and foremost because I love

736
00:35:20,120 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 9: the fact that they're finally finding a way to utilize

737
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 9: his full ability. We've always thought that he had the potential.

738
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 9: Did he maximize it?

739
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 8: No?

740
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 9: Did some of the coordinators hold him back? Maybe so,

741
00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,160
Speaker 9: because I remember, I wish I could go back and

742
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:40,400
Speaker 9: pinpoint some of the interviews or postgame moments where you know,

743
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:42,759
Speaker 9: I asked for Trevor to be seen more in the

744
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 9: boot game, you know, the RPO game, you know those

745
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:48,640
Speaker 9: sort of things, because this is what he did great

746
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 9: at Clemson. You know, you go back and look at

747
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 9: some of those highlights, you know you would see Trevor

748
00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 9: just running down the field and not short runs, but

749
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 9: long runs in those highlights. So they're at a point

750
00:36:00,840 --> 00:36:03,680
Speaker 9: where you know, they're not just they've taken off the

751
00:36:03,719 --> 00:36:07,000
Speaker 9: training wheels. They're not thinking, let's just protect our quarterback.

752
00:36:07,200 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 9: They're leaving that up to the quarterback to be smart,

753
00:36:09,840 --> 00:36:12,319
Speaker 9: knowing when to get down, knowing when not to take

754
00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:15,479
Speaker 9: the big shots. You know, you look at a year ago.

755
00:36:15,520 --> 00:36:17,960
Speaker 9: I believe it was a year ago versus the Texans

756
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:22,239
Speaker 9: when he took that big shot in Jacksonville. I can't

757
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 9: think of the linebacker's name right.

758
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 3: Now, Shire as he's out shir correct.

759
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:30,400
Speaker 9: And I think since then, Trevor's been a much smarter

760
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:32,840
Speaker 9: player and what he's doing when he's out of the

761
00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,520
Speaker 9: pocket and running the ball, and that's been an asset

762
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:39,520
Speaker 9: for the offense. When you look at a boot game,

763
00:36:40,120 --> 00:36:43,960
Speaker 9: the naked game, he's made tremendous throws on the run, throwing,

764
00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,200
Speaker 9: getting the ball to the tight end, which a lot

765
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,760
Speaker 9: of times being out of the pocket, cross the routs,

766
00:36:48,800 --> 00:36:52,520
Speaker 9: these different things by design, he's taken full advantage of it.

767
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 8: The screen game, it's the tight end screen game.

768
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 9: So Liam, I think again, he just took the training

769
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 9: wheels off and say I'm gonna call it this way.

770
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:05,280
Speaker 9: I'm gonna trust you to be smart in your pros, Trevor,

771
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:09,279
Speaker 9: and they're maximizing his full potential.

772
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:11,480
Speaker 8: Man, it's a great thing to witness.

773
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,080
Speaker 4: That's part of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. The

774
00:37:14,080 --> 00:37:17,319
Speaker 4: full conversation soon on the Jaguars Podcast Network and on

775
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 4: Countdown to Kickoff Sunday ahead of the Titans Jaguars matchup.

776
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,879
Speaker 4: As we mentioned there, Lawrence needing two hundred and forty

777
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 4: eight or more passing yards and one rushing touchdown to

778
00:37:26,360 --> 00:37:28,879
Speaker 4: become the third player in NFL history to have four

779
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 4: thousand passing yards and ten or more rushing touchdowns in

780
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 4: a season. The other two twenty twenty three, Josh Allen

781
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:40,920
Speaker 4: of the Bills, twenty eleven, Cam Newton of the Carolina Panthers.

782
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,320
Speaker 4: Elite company. There, Lawrence can get it done this week.

783
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 4: Most importantly, they need a winning result for the division

784
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,320
Speaker 4: title winner. A tie over the Titans and the Jags

785
00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 4: would win the AFC South. We're back in a moment

786
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:56,839
Speaker 4: plenty ahead as the Jaguars prepare for Week eighteen. It's

787
00:37:56,920 --> 00:37:58,800
Speaker 4: Jags HQ on Jaguars Radio.

788
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 1: Welcome back, Jaggs HQ, presented by Fresh from Florida. Continues,

789
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: right now.

790
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 10: Is just stopping a run, you know, playing our playing

791
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 10: our running a defense, stopping and run. I think that

792
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,120
Speaker 10: first drive they kind of went all the way down

793
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,760
Speaker 10: the field running the ball. They came out, big personnel

794
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 10: ran the ball. So for us understanding that, so obviously

795
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:28,600
Speaker 10: you know we stopped the run. You know, find opportunities

796
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 10: to get after the passer.

797
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: Uh.

798
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 10: He's been doing a head with a job as well,

799
00:38:32,040 --> 00:38:34,799
Speaker 10: escaping and making big plays for the play, making big

800
00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:38,239
Speaker 10: place for that team. So again, this is a good

801
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,360
Speaker 10: team and you know we're excited for the challenge and

802
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:42,360
Speaker 10: just closing it the way we're supposed to.

803
00:38:42,719 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 4: Josh heinz Allen, Jaguars Defensive End, Welcome back. It's Shaggs HQ,

804
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 4: presented by Fresh from Florida, JP Shadwick with you Jeff

805
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:52,560
Speaker 4: log him out this week. Our thanks to James Gladstone,

806
00:38:52,600 --> 00:38:55,239
Speaker 4: Tony Boselli, the GM and the E v P respectively

807
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 4: joining us in the first half.

808
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,000
Speaker 3: Hour each and every week.

809
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 4: And heinz Allen, they are talking about cam Ward and

810
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 4: this Titans offense that in the last meeting back in

811
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:09,000
Speaker 4: week thirteen, on their opening possession, went down the field

812
00:39:09,080 --> 00:39:12,719
Speaker 4: eleven plays, seventy yards and just under six minutes, had

813
00:39:12,760 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 4: to settle for a twenty eight yard field goal, and

814
00:39:14,640 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 4: they were dashing the Jaguars in the run game.

815
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:18,120
Speaker 7: On that opening drive.

816
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard had thirty six of his sixty rushing yards

817
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 4: for the day in the first quarter and much of

818
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 4: that on that drive. Jags made the adjustment defensively and

819
00:39:27,800 --> 00:39:31,280
Speaker 4: they've been fantastic, as heinz Allen there alluded to against

820
00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,720
Speaker 4: the run. They're number one in the league in run defense.

821
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:37,919
Speaker 4: Of course, they've allowed just under sixteen points per game

822
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,080
Speaker 4: since Week eleven. That's tied for the fewest in the

823
00:39:40,160 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 4: NFL with the Philadelphia Eagles, and twenty or fewer points

824
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,319
Speaker 4: in five straight games. So this Jags defense has been suffocating.

825
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,919
Speaker 4: They have thirty takeaways this year, second most in the league,

826
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,680
Speaker 4: and that's now three shy of the Jaguars record Back

827
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 4: in twenty seventeen, that Saxonville team had thirty three takeaways

828
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 4: that year.

829
00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:01,760
Speaker 3: Wow.

830
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,480
Speaker 4: Of course, last year only nine takeaways for the Jaguars defense.

831
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,960
Speaker 4: That turnaround has been remarkable in so many ways. So

832
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,320
Speaker 4: many new faces on the back end of the Jaguars

833
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:15,319
Speaker 4: defense this year and the secondary and of course the

834
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:18,880
Speaker 4: new scheme Anthony Evanelli really getting this team together on

835
00:40:18,920 --> 00:40:22,040
Speaker 4: the defensive side of the football. And this time they're

836
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:25,200
Speaker 4: facing cam Ward, who's got the Titans rolling a little

837
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 4: bit over the last four games.

838
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 3: Or two and two.

839
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:29,480
Speaker 4: They were one and eleven after that Week thirteen loss

840
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:32,320
Speaker 4: to the Jaguars, but now the Titans have scored twenty

841
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,160
Speaker 4: four more points in each of those four games, and

842
00:40:36,200 --> 00:40:38,640
Speaker 4: a lot of that is cam Ward. He has taken

843
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 4: a bunch of sacks this year. He had some issues

844
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:44,520
Speaker 4: early in the season, but now he has two touchdowns

845
00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 4: passing in three straight games and is starting to find

846
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:50,000
Speaker 4: a little bit of a stride late in the season.

847
00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,880
Speaker 4: Can't let him hit the stride on Sunday, of course,

848
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,480
Speaker 4: and can't let that run game get going to give

849
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,920
Speaker 4: him a balance at all. Chigakonquo, the tight end is

850
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:02,080
Speaker 4: the leading receiver for Tennessee this year. That kind of

851
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,200
Speaker 4: tells you what's been going on most of the season.

852
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 4: But they're finding some kind of life offensively and a

853
00:41:08,320 --> 00:41:10,359
Speaker 4: little bit of something with cam ward the number one

854
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 4: overall pick last year out of the University of Miami.

855
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,960
Speaker 4: So it's up to the Jaguars to keep him contained.

856
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,640
Speaker 4: He can move the pocket and move out of the pocket,

857
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:22,839
Speaker 4: extend plays and the pass rush certainly stopping the run,

858
00:41:22,840 --> 00:41:24,920
Speaker 4: as key assigins Allen said, but that gives you the

859
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:27,680
Speaker 4: opportunity to go rush the passer, which you'll have to

860
00:41:27,680 --> 00:41:31,080
Speaker 4: do this week against cam Warden and another win for

861
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,480
Speaker 4: the Jaguars, they would be division champs. We're back at

862
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,440
Speaker 4: the moment. We'll look at the playoff scenarios and wrap

863
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,880
Speaker 4: it up. What a show it has been. It's jaggs

864
00:41:40,040 --> 00:41:41,520
Speaker 4: HQ on Jaguars Radio.

865
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 1: Welcome Back jaggs HQ presented by Fresh from Florida continues

866
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,640
Speaker 1: right now.

867
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: Welcome back final moments of jaggs HQ on this New

868
00:41:55,040 --> 00:41:57,120
Speaker 4: Year's I'm glad you're along with us. Happy New Year

869
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 4: to you, JP Shadrick, No, Jeff Blagovan, thanks to James Gladstone,

870
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 4: Tony Boselli. It's week eighteen, so of course the AFC

871
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:09,000
Speaker 4: South comes down to the final day. A Jaguars winner

872
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:11,560
Speaker 4: tie over the Titans would secure the division title for

873
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 4: the Jaguars and a thirteen win season, which is remarkable.

874
00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:20,319
Speaker 4: It could also use a Texans loss or tie in

875
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:24,600
Speaker 4: their game against the Colts for the Jaguars to secure

876
00:42:24,600 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 4: to the division title. And they put the games at

877
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,960
Speaker 4: the same time one o'clock on Sunday, so you cannot

878
00:42:30,239 --> 00:42:33,120
Speaker 4: have different game times of games that could affect each other.

879
00:42:33,239 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 4: There are other clinching scenarios. Denver clinches the number one

880
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 4: seed with a win over the Chargers, which the Chargers

881
00:42:39,719 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 4: are not playing their quarterback and some other starters, a

882
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 4: New England loss and a Jaguars loss or a tie

883
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,520
Speaker 4: against the Chargers and a New England loss, so Denver

884
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 4: is closing in on that number one seed.

885
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 3: A'll win and they can get it.

886
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,080
Speaker 4: Patriots could clinch the number one seed with a better

887
00:42:55,120 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 4: result than Denver a win and a Denver loss, or

888
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,319
Speaker 4: a tie and.

889
00:42:59,320 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 3: A Denver loss.

890
00:43:00,200 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 7: New England would be the number one seed.

891
00:43:01,960 --> 00:43:04,440
Speaker 4: The Jaguars still could be the number one seed if

892
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:07,160
Speaker 4: both the Broncos and Patriots lose and the Jaguars win,

893
00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 4: The Jaggs would be the number one seed. Three percent

894
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 4: chance of that happening according to next Gen Stats, but

895
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 4: as possible. Jaguars actually have the most possible seed scenarios

896
00:43:16,560 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 4: of NFL team of any team in the league entering

897
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:24,080
Speaker 4: Week eighteen, so the Jags could still be the one, two, three, five, six,

898
00:43:24,200 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 4: or seven seed based on the outcomes in Week eighteen.

899
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:30,680
Speaker 4: Other AFC clinching scenarios, of course, Houston would clinch the

900
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:31,760
Speaker 4: division with a win.

901
00:43:31,680 --> 00:43:33,000
Speaker 3: Anna Jacksonville loss.

902
00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 4: The Steelers would clinch the AFC North with a win

903
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,960
Speaker 4: or tie against Baltimore. That's on Sunday Night Football, the

904
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:40,080
Speaker 4: final game of the season.

905
00:43:40,160 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 3: Baltimore wins the division with.

906
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 4: A win at Pittsburgh in that game, so that's the

907
00:43:45,760 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 4: AFC scenarios We've got some of the NFC as well.

908
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,799
Speaker 4: Seahawks would clinch the division and a number one seed

909
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,719
Speaker 4: with a win at San Francisco that Saturday night. San

910
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 4: Francisco would win it and the number one seed if

911
00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,720
Speaker 4: they get the win. The NFC South up for grabs

912
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:03,160
Speaker 4: as well. Panthers wouldn't get it with a win. If

913
00:44:03,160 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 4: the Bucks win, they need a Saints win over the

914
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 4: Falcons to get the job done. Thanks to our entire

915
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 4: crew or thanks to Tony Basseli, James Gladstone, Joe Fortunado,
