WEBVTT - Ep. 90: Lessons Learned From Season Opener | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:19.520 Welcome into tag Dam this Wednesday, and Kay Nannie Stevens, 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:22.440 Brian Sexton, and John Osier are with me today as 0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:23.880 we recap some of Week. 0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.319 One while also looking forward to Week two. 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.160 Now. There was a spirited. 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:30.640 Press conference from head coach Doug Peterson on Monday. We're 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.360 going to go over some of that with you right now. 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:35.559 We'll start out with big thing number one, closing out. Obviously, 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.479 that was an issue for the team last year and 0:00:37.520 --> 0:00:38.480 it was an issue. 0:00:38.240 --> 0:00:38.840 In Week one. 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.479 Had a great first half against the Miami Dolphins, but 0:00:41.520 --> 0:00:44.120 then couldn't quite get things done in the second half. 0:00:44.159 --> 0:00:45.960 Doug Peterson talked about the issues. 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.239 So you make that play right, you're in the anzones 0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.200 twenty four to seven at the end of the third, right, 0:00:51.240 --> 0:00:53.959 and then you're kicking off as opposed. 0:00:53.600 --> 0:00:56.560 To giving them the ball to twenty. You know we 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.520 can stand here and play sugar wold. It coulda all 0:00:59.600 --> 0:01:02.080 day long. Bottom line is, you know, we did not 0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:03.880 do enough to finish the football game. 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:08.039 And these are all the things that as coaches and players, 0:01:10.240 --> 0:01:11.919 you know, we need to fixed. 0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:15.959 We need to fix and get corrected before you know. 0:01:16.000 --> 0:01:19.800 Before this week, right, I think we all played Monday 0:01:19.800 --> 0:01:23.280 morning quarterback with game one of the season because of 0:01:23.319 --> 0:01:25.920 how things ended. But looking back at things now, is 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.080 it as simple as you know it was that fumble 0:01:28.120 --> 0:01:30.560 that did everything? Or was it more to it than that? 0:01:30.720 --> 0:01:31.960 No, they had more time, you know. 0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.399 I mean in the fourth quarter alone, there was a 0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.600 missed block in the run game on the left side 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:41.600 and a miss chip by a back on the right side. 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.000 Both that Blue plays up. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.720 There was a quarterback misread down the field on the progression. 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:50.000 There's enough blame to go around in a lot of places. 0:01:50.720 --> 0:01:55.640 In the end, this team has to finish. And I'd 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:57.640 be frustrated if I was Doug too, because how do 0:01:57.680 --> 0:01:58.800 you finish well? 0:01:58.840 --> 0:01:59.440 You just do it. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.960 You work all week on the practice field, you're in 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:05.040 the meeting room. You know what the assignment is. The 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.680 key to this team is winning one of these close 0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.200 games and reminding themselves, John. 0:02:10.000 --> 0:02:12.600 That they know how to win a close game. 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:15.000 And by the way, the vast majority of games in 0:02:15.040 --> 0:02:17.799 professional football are won in the fourth quarter by less 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.840 than eight points. You're gonna see this week in and 0:02:19.880 --> 0:02:20.320 week out. 0:02:20.520 --> 0:02:21.760 Yeah, it's what the league is. 0:02:21.800 --> 0:02:25.040 And you know, Kyle, answer your question, yes, I think 0:02:25.160 --> 0:02:28.760 had they scored instead of Travis et and fumbling anything 0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:32.080 win the game, but that was not the entire game. 0:02:32.600 --> 0:02:35.120 They still led by what ten points at that point, 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.880 there was plenty of ways to win the game. When 0:02:37.919 --> 0:02:40.720 Doug gave that answer, it was very much. I got 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.040 a feeling he'd answered a few questions trying to sum 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.040 up the game, and he said, look, we just have 0:02:45.120 --> 0:02:49.200 to finish the game. And as Brian said, this is 0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.360 what the league is. If you play seventeen games, eleven 0:02:52.400 --> 0:02:54.079 of them are going to come down to that last 0:02:54.200 --> 0:02:57.720 seven minutes. They were really good at that for eleven games. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:03:00.680 Last year, they've been really bad at it for seven games. 0:03:00.880 --> 0:03:03.320 If they don't get good at it, they're not gonna 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:04.079 be a good team. 0:03:04.400 --> 0:03:06.040 I think a little extra salt in the womb because 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.160 of how things finished last year. 0:03:07.160 --> 0:03:08.560 It feels like this has been a streak. 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.040 So hopefully they can break that in the home opener 0:03:11.040 --> 0:03:13.000 against the Browns this week. Our second big thing this 0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:14.320 week is gonna be backup planning. 0:03:14.320 --> 0:03:15.320 We thought a lot of. 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:17.720 Great things out of the defense this week under new 0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.200 DC Ryan Nielsen, but they're gonna have to do some 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:23.720 work there in the secondary. Tyson Campbell suffering a hamstring injury. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:26.400 That's something he has dealt with before. John, He's gonna 0:03:26.400 --> 0:03:28.160 be out for quite a bit of time, it sounds like, 0:03:28.200 --> 0:03:29.959 and they're not going to rush him back, but considering 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:31.799 what he's dealt with with hamstrings before. 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:37.480 Yeah, unfortunately, now because it's happened a second time, this 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.240 is what he is until we see differently, because he's 0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.400 gonna be aftering stand period of time. You could tell 0:03:42.880 --> 0:03:45.200 on Sunday when you watched him on the sidelines. 0:03:45.480 --> 0:03:46.880 You know he knew what it was. 0:03:46.920 --> 0:03:49.040 He felt it before and he was really frustrated by it. 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:51.960 You paid him, he's your guy. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:55.360 I would think the Jarion Jones will step up and 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:59.960 have a big role. They did this Brian in training camp. 0:04:00.400 --> 0:04:04.160 They like DeAndre Prince, they like Monterrek Brown, they like 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:08.480 the young guys. We're gonna find out if everybody likes John. 0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.760 I can't believe you left me the easy answer here 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.160 because it was yours all last week when we were 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.440 talking about how the Jaguars would stop the Dolphins. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:16.680 It's gonna be on the guys up front. 0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:16.920 Kay. 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:18.719 They've got some talent. 0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:22.279 John just went through the list, right, Monterrek Brown, Trey Prince, 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.919 Jarry and Jones looked good enough early on last week. 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:26.160 You're gonna throw them out there. 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:30.520 But the key to success without Tyson Campbell really falls 0:04:30.560 --> 0:04:32.160 on the big guys up front. 0:04:32.560 --> 0:04:33.800 They got decent. 0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:36.040 Pressure on a quarterback that gets rid of the ball 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.200 in a hurry. This week they've got another. They've got 0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.560 another quarterback who can get rid of the ball. But 0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.599 Deshaun Watson's not playing good football right now. So my 0:04:44.720 --> 0:04:47.920 sense is is that the defensive line can overcome the 0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.159 loss of Tyson Campbell. 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:50.960 For Ryan Nielson in. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.719 His group, this absolutely opportunity for them to see that 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:56.000 moment with Deshaun kind of spiraling as well. We'll talk 0:04:56.000 --> 0:04:57.520 a little bit about that later in the show, and 0:04:57.640 --> 0:04:59.480 later on in the week close things out with big 0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:01.160 thing Number Tis. That's O line play. 0:05:01.240 --> 0:05:01.960 We've all been. 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.440 Discussing it for weeks and weeks and weeks months, probably 0:05:04.520 --> 0:05:07.039 at this point, saw some good things from the O lines. 0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:08.760 Doug Peterson talked about it on Monday. 0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:14.480 We US coaches offensive coaches felt like our offensive line 0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:15.240 was taking. 0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:15.920 Over the football game. 0:05:17.760 --> 0:05:19.000 And when you get. 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:25.600 In that sort of frame of mind, the idea, especially 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.640 when they're when the big guys are feeling it a 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:28.120 little bit. 0:05:28.160 --> 0:05:29.600 As we say, is you. 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.839 Continue to run the football right, And if that's by design, 0:05:35.800 --> 0:05:37.479 then then that's what we did. 0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.040 If it's by execution, then that's what we did. 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:45.279 If it's by our offensive line playing well, then that's 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:46.200 what we did. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:46.840 You know what I'm saying. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:48.520 John. 0:05:48.560 --> 0:05:50.680 There were a lot of questions about the play calling 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.320 at the latter end of the second half, and according 0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.360 Doug Peterson, he felt like the O line was playing well, 0:05:55.360 --> 0:05:58.000 the running game was doing well, and they stuck with it. 0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:58.800 Is that all it was? 0:05:59.160 --> 0:05:59.360 Yeah? 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:02.200 Well, I think the play calling the second half did 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:04.800 absolutely come down to They had fifty plays for the 0:06:04.839 --> 0:06:06.360 whole game. I think it was twenty three in the 0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:09.760 second half. I think I have that number right. Look, 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:11.920 if you have very many plays, it's hard to call 0:06:12.040 --> 0:06:16.040 very many runs or passes. They clearly felt and if 0:06:16.080 --> 0:06:18.520 you watched the game, you felt the two they could 0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.320 run and they felt like they could dictate with that. 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:24.600 They felt like they were getting it. It was hot, 0:06:25.000 --> 0:06:28.880 so usually when you have weather like that, you can 0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:32.200 start leaning on the defensive line and get more of it. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:34.520 It's the old thing, Brian. The offensive line was really 0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.160 good on Sunday except when it wasn't ye, And it's 0:06:37.279 --> 0:06:40.520 very much the position in football that it's always going 0:06:40.600 --> 0:06:42.400 to be judged on its worst moments. 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:43.600 It's the only position like that. 0:06:44.680 --> 0:06:47.520 But it was good enough, I think, Brian to give 0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.839 you a hope that they can run ran better than 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:50.120 they did. 0:06:50.120 --> 0:06:50.719 All last season. 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:52.720 I agree, but it's still. 0:06:52.520 --> 0:06:55.880 Those moments, and you know, it's supposed to be more 0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:58.560 consistent in winning time, which in the fourth quarter on 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.719 Sunday felt like it wasn't as good as that for three. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.680 You know, John, people are going to evaluate the line 0:07:02.720 --> 0:07:04.880 based on three plays. The first play, which was a 0:07:04.920 --> 0:07:07.719 sack on Anton Harrison, and then those two sacks on 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.920 second down and on third down on their final drive. 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:13.360 So I asked around. I know you did too. And 0:07:13.640 --> 0:07:16.200 it turns out that on that second down sack, that 0:07:16.400 --> 0:07:18.400 looked like it looked like Trevor held. 0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:18.920 The ball too long. 0:07:18.960 --> 0:07:21.040 But of course people are gonna blame the offensive line 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.160 when the quarterback is thrown to the ground. Turns out 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.640 there was a progression mistake, right, and perhaps Trevor held 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:29.640 the ball because he made the wrong read. It still 0:07:29.680 --> 0:07:32.880 looks like the offensive line failed because we don't know 0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:34.840 that during the course of the game. And then, as 0:07:34.840 --> 0:07:37.520 I mentioned earlier, Anton Harrison looks like he totally whiffs 0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.560 on Jaln Phillips on that third down sack. 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:40.960 But come to find out in. 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:43.560 Asking the question, the back is supposed to be over 0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:47.200 their chipping. Anton Harrison had inside position thinking he had 0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.480 help on the outside. There was no help there. So 0:07:49.520 --> 0:07:51.800 it looks like Anton Harrison had a bad day. I 0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.080 even thought it looked like he had a bad day. 0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.040 Started the game with the sack, ended the game with 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:56.400 the sack. 0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:58.440 Not so, But we don't know. 0:07:58.440 --> 0:08:00.800 That until we have a chance to talk a little bit. 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:03.000 I think the offensive line is gonna be just fine. 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.600 Do you need Cam Robinson to stay on his feet 0:08:05.640 --> 0:08:08.400 on fourth down and one, yeah, Do you need Brandon 0:08:08.400 --> 0:08:11.520 Sheriff to hold up in the running game on third 0:08:11.600 --> 0:08:12.640 down in the third quarter? 0:08:12.920 --> 0:08:13.320 Yeah? 0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.160 You need guys to play individually a little bit higher. 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:18.880 But there's real potential for this offensive line to be 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.440 a solid unit in the not too distant future. 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:23.720 I hope we can expect a better game out of 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.400 Anton Harrison. Obviously not what we saw from him last year, 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.119 so hopefully we can see a good bounce back this week. 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:30.720 Say it's here on Jagzam. Come up. 0:08:30.720 --> 0:08:43.400 We'll do a little this or that after the break. 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.680 Jags fan c Fields First, Jacksonville's premier luxury autogroup. Go 0:08:47.720 --> 0:08:57.760 to Fields Auto dot com. This o's this, Welcome back 0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:58.319 to jag Zam. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:09:00.200 We're gonna do a little this or a little that. 0:09:00.320 --> 0:09:02.640 So let's talk about the game and we'll talk about 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.920 kind of how we're looking at things going forward. Obviously 0:09:04.960 --> 0:09:06.600 things they can go the way we wanted in the 0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.000 season opener, so hopefully how we can change those things around. 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:10.760 We did see good things from the running game early, 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.920 but obviously issues with both Travis Etn putting the ball 0:09:13.960 --> 0:09:15.480 on the floor, which you never want to see, and 0:09:15.520 --> 0:09:17.560 then also Tank bigs to be not picking up some 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:19.559 of those blocking plays, which has been an issue kept 0:09:19.600 --> 0:09:22.000 him off the field last year. So what's a bigger 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.560 concern to you guys? Is Etn going to be a 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:26.720 fumbling issue again or is Tank going to figure out 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.240 how to do these coverages so he can stay on 0:09:28.280 --> 0:09:28.640 the field. 0:09:28.960 --> 0:09:31.839 OK. I'd be stunned if Travis is a fumbling issue 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:33.440 all season, and I want to say that's because of this. 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:35.560 I think he had five and twenty twenty two, which 0:09:35.600 --> 0:09:39.040 was his first year, had none last year, So I 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:42.679 don't consider Travis a fumbler. I think the other day 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.400 I think he was getting ready to go and cover 0:09:45.440 --> 0:09:47.280 the ball, and I think Holler made a great play. 0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:48.000 Was great play. 0:09:48.040 --> 0:09:51.440 So look, I was a big, big John Reagan's fan 0:09:51.480 --> 0:09:53.240 back in then. Probably my favorite player of all time 0:09:53.559 --> 0:09:54.240 wasn't a fumbler. 0:09:54.320 --> 0:09:54.600 Guess what. 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:57.560 He fumbled occasionally, So you're going to fumble if you 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.839 carry the ball. In the National Football League, I think 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.560 the going to have an issue the coaching staff, and 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:05.920 I don't mean a problem, but an issue. It's a 0:10:05.920 --> 0:10:09.400 one back scheme. Both of these guys have strengths. I 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.080 think the question for the running backs to me is 0:10:13.760 --> 0:10:17.760 clearly a tank needs to run the ball, and Travis, 0:10:17.800 --> 0:10:20.400 to me, feels like a guy who's going to get 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.000 a few yards few yards and a bit, you know, 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:25.920 needs carries to get that pop. How do you find 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.240 the hot hand, how do you find the right balance. 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:31.360 It's a good problem to have ran, but I think 0:10:31.400 --> 0:10:33.520 it's going to be something that they have to figure 0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:35.640 out how to get these guys in the game at 0:10:35.640 --> 0:10:36.120 the right time. 0:10:36.160 --> 0:10:40.160 Well, you ask the question what's more concerning, and to 0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:43.520 me right now, Tank is more concerning because he was 0:10:43.559 --> 0:10:45.920 the back on the field in that key situation at 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.520 the end of the game with four twenty two. 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:48.439 Left to play. 0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:53.560 If you only put Tank in on running situations, the 0:10:53.640 --> 0:10:57.880 defense will adjust right and if you can't trust him, 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.400 And by the way, the coaches went out of the 0:10:59.400 --> 0:11:01.360 way to say they did trust him based on the 0:11:01.360 --> 0:11:03.920 way that he played in training camp and in the preseason. 0:11:04.080 --> 0:11:06.000 So he was on the field late in the game 0:11:06.120 --> 0:11:09.160 because they trusted him. But if he doesn't shore that up, 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:11.599 if he doesn't lock that down, John, than he's not 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:13.800 going to be on the field in key situations. He's 0:11:13.840 --> 0:11:16.280 just going to be the reserve back who gives them 0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:18.720 a breather in the second and third quarter. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.840 But when the game's on the line, it's going to 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:21.760 be number one out there. 0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:26.360 Yeah, because it's a I'm called pass first offense. But 0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.200 this offense needs to pass and be effective. So a 0:11:29.280 --> 0:11:32.000 back has to be able to function in the passing 0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.920 game better than he did in that big situation. 0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:37.480 So you saw Bigsby off the four yard line goes 0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:41.400 for twenty six on the drive where Travis fumbled and 0:11:41.520 --> 0:11:44.560 gave them a position where they could now throw the ball, 0:11:44.679 --> 0:11:47.000 they could do what they wanted. He's a really good 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.680 football player and an important part of what they want 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:52.080 to do. But he's got to shore up the assignments 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:54.560 in protection otherwise they can't trust him to be on 0:11:54.559 --> 0:11:54.880 the field. 0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:56.960 Something to keep an eye on in the second week 0:11:56.960 --> 0:11:58.800 as they take on the Browns this week, see which 0:11:58.880 --> 0:11:59.920 way they kind of go with that. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.960 Who gets the ball more? 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:05.199 Also, two out of character games, I'll say Evan Ingram 0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:08.760 and Christian Kirk. They've been wonderful for this offense for 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:09.920 the past couple of seasons. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:11.240 Both of them very sure handed. 0:12:11.520 --> 0:12:14.959 Saw definitely one drop from Christian maybe another questionable one. 0:12:15.040 --> 0:12:17.880 Evan didn't get any really his way, or had a 0:12:17.880 --> 0:12:20.520 couple of his way, but didn't come down with them. 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:22.400 Who do you think bounces back first? I hope they 0:12:22.480 --> 0:12:24.960 both bounce back at the same time. But who's most important? 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.199 Who do you think we'll get it right? Right? 0:12:26.320 --> 0:12:29.000 Well, if both isn't the option, I'll go with Christian 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.160 because I Miami took away Evan right. I mean, they 0:12:32.200 --> 0:12:34.280 did everything they could they understand. He caught one hundred 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.240 and fourteen passes the year before. He is one of 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.720 the quarterback's favorite targets. He's the safety valve who came 0:12:39.760 --> 0:12:41.400 out by the way, can make a big play down 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:43.319 the field too. So my guess would be that the 0:12:43.640 --> 0:12:47.960 Browns will again try to take him out and that 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:48.959 will open things up. 0:12:48.880 --> 0:12:51.000 For Christian Kirk. This week and the next week we'll 0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.880 see the Bills try to cover Kirk and it should 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.280 open things back up for Evan. 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:58.960 Yeah, it's an interesting approach Miami took because they did 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.800 one Evan out of the game. He had been so 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:04.680 good last year. But I always maintain you don't want 0:13:04.800 --> 0:13:07.240 Evan catching nine passes a game. I'm sure Evan would 0:13:07.240 --> 0:13:09.880 like kept nine passes a game, but you would rather 0:13:10.040 --> 0:13:13.240 have that be more of a safety valve. Last year, 0:13:13.280 --> 0:13:14.679 to me, it felt like he was the running game 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:18.000 the passing game rolled into one. I'll say, because you 0:13:18.040 --> 0:13:20.319 said Christian, I'll go with Evan as a bounce back game, 0:13:20.679 --> 0:13:22.360 just because I don't think he's going to be limited 0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.160 to one for five. 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:25.880 I think they would like him. 0:13:25.679 --> 0:13:29.120 To be about a five for sixty type guy most 0:13:29.120 --> 0:13:31.880 of the season because if he's getting that, then that 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:35.240 means you know there are weapons in this scheme that 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.360 you would rather have going downfield than Evan Ingram. So 0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.000 I'd say he bounces back. I don't want to see 0:13:41.040 --> 0:13:43.679 him bounce back to one hundred. I love Evan, I'm 0:13:43.679 --> 0:13:46.080 sure everyon would love one hundred, but for the offensive sake, 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.400 bounce back to that middle where you're sort of the 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.000 engine and the option on third down. 0:13:51.080 --> 0:13:55.160 Five key catches, probably three that converts important third downs. 0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:58.080 I mean five for sixty, and I would agree with you. 0:13:58.120 --> 0:14:00.000 I think that's where he is in the sweet spot, 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:01.280 making important catches. 0:14:01.520 --> 0:14:03.760 I think an outlier game for both of them, just 0:14:03.880 --> 0:14:06.160 seeing how sure handed and trustworthy they've been so far. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:08.640 I have to that won't hope we don't see that again. 0:14:09.040 --> 0:14:10.280 Stay with us here on Jagsam. 0:14:10.280 --> 0:14:12.320 We'll look around the AFC South see what else is 0:14:12.360 --> 0:14:26.440 going on within the division. For eleven years, dream Finders' 0:14:26.440 --> 0:14:28.320 Homes have been proud to call themselves the official home 0:14:28.360 --> 0:14:31.400 builder of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit dreamfinders' Homes dot com 0:14:31.400 --> 0:14:35.440 for all of the available inventory and go Jags. 0:14:36.000 --> 0:14:38.080 Welcome you back into jagxam on this Wednesday. 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.600 We're gonna look around the AFC South a little bit 0:14:40.640 --> 0:14:42.360 because it's number too early to keep an eye on 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:44.440 what everybody else is doing. Three of the teams O 0:14:44.680 --> 0:14:47.880 one one, Team one and zher start up with the Titans, 0:14:47.920 --> 0:14:50.520 who belt the Bears, a team that did not score 0:14:50.600 --> 0:14:53.800 an offensive touchdown but still won the games. So that's 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.960 another team that the Jags are gonna play. They'll play 0:14:56.000 --> 0:14:58.000 them in London as well, so good to keep an 0:14:58.000 --> 0:14:58.800 eye on both of them. 0:14:58.840 --> 0:15:01.040 But Titans, do you have some issues? 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:07.040 Well, they have Will Levis, right, and Will is a 0:15:07.120 --> 0:15:09.760 strong armed quarterback. Where we just talked about those guys, right, 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.760 I mean, he can really throw the deep ball. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:19.160 But they signed Calvin Ridley, who doesn't run precise routes. 0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:21.360 I mean when they did that, I was like, wow, 0:15:21.400 --> 0:15:23.840 he had fifty yards receiving. I think the other day 0:15:25.480 --> 0:15:27.960 I don't think they know what they are. 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:32.840 They were with Derrick Henry a pound the ball, bring 0:15:32.880 --> 0:15:34.480 the safeties of the line of scrimmage, go over the 0:15:34.480 --> 0:15:37.320 top of DeAndre Hopkins or whoever the big receiver was. 0:15:37.640 --> 0:15:41.240 And now they are a different type of team, new coach, 0:15:41.680 --> 0:15:42.600 new scheme. 0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:43.400 New players. 0:15:44.200 --> 0:15:46.480 I think their work in progress almost all season long 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:48.120 as they try to identify what they do. 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:48.440 Well. 0:15:48.680 --> 0:15:51.400 Yeah, I'm gonna sort of do a broad brush over 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:55.720 the whole division if you're looking at it objectively. The 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.160 first week played out sort of exactly as you'd expect. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:01.160 The Texans, who I think most people think are the 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.120 best team in the division, won a game that it felt 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:07.600 like they were in control of pushed over a good 0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:11.920 team in the division, the Colts. The Jaguars, frankly are 0:16:12.360 --> 0:16:14.800 were a nine and eight team last year. They had 0:16:14.800 --> 0:16:17.840 a chance to beat another team that really didn't beat 0:16:17.840 --> 0:16:19.880 anybody good last year and beat a lot of bad 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:22.000 so a nine and eight ten seventeen. 0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:22.760 They played a. 0:16:22.760 --> 0:16:26.040 Close game, so you feel like, okay, well Jaguars eight 0:16:26.120 --> 0:16:28.360 and nine, nine and eight, that's how they played the 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:31.480 other day. And then the and the Titans are struggling. 0:16:31.600 --> 0:16:34.920 You know, they're the one team that overhauled things in 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:37.440 the offseason, so it makes sense that they would be 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:39.000 sort of trying to figure it out. 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.520 So sort of what you'd expect. 0:16:42.720 --> 0:16:45.640 The shame of it is the Jaguars had such a 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:51.000 chance to feel like they were not what I just said, right, 0:16:51.080 --> 0:16:53.880 So they've got to start winning some games and get 0:16:53.920 --> 0:16:56.440 back to where they're Coulpete with the Titan with the 0:16:56.480 --> 0:17:01.520 Texans for this game. I sili think the Titans feel 0:17:01.520 --> 0:17:03.320 like a team that are going to be trying to 0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:06.000 figure it out. Will know five or six weeks in 0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:08.080 if they're going to figure it out in time to 0:17:08.119 --> 0:17:08.879 matter this season. 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:10.440 Is the quarterback the guy or are they going to 0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:12.840 lean on the running backs? The defense, you know, has 0:17:12.840 --> 0:17:15.199 some really good players on it, but I. 0:17:15.160 --> 0:17:17.359 Think they're trying to shift to where all of a 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:19.720 sudden they look like all of the franchises what Levis 0:17:19.800 --> 0:17:20.359 is the guy? 0:17:21.600 --> 0:17:24.440 But so far because they played cave Man balling, just 0:17:24.520 --> 0:17:25.160
