And we 11 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:06,039 Speaker 1: now welcome in Stephen Holder with ESPN NFL joining us. Now, 12 00:01:06,160 --> 00:01:10,000 Speaker 1: Good morning, Stephen, Thanks for joining us, Hey, thanks for 13 00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,560 Speaker 1: having me. Good morning to you. Absolutely all right, take 14 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,639 Speaker 1: us through what happened Week one. The Colts tie against 15 00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. I want to know what the biggest 16 00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:23,360 Speaker 1: surprise maybe was in that game. Well, it was surprising 17 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 1: apparently two players, some of whom did not realize that 18 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:30,120 Speaker 1: you could tie in the NFL. So that was interesting 19 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: in the locker room, actually explaining the overtime process to 20 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: some of them. So anyway, that was an interesting diversion. 21 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: But I think really there wasn't a ton of surprise 22 00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,080 Speaker 1: for me, except I thought in many ways the Colts 23 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: outplayed the Texans. They just they didn't do the things 24 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: that it takes to actually put the finishing touches on 25 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 1: a win. They moved the ball up and down the 26 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,680 Speaker 1: field well over five yards of offense, but if you 27 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,400 Speaker 1: don't stick it in the end zone at the end 28 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,080 Speaker 1: of those drives, it doesn't quite matter how many yards 29 00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:07,120 Speaker 1: you get. So I think in many ways we saw 30 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 1: what we expected from the Colts. Strong running game, Jonathan 31 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 1: Taylor over hunt in sixty yards. Matt Ryan I thought, 32 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,320 Speaker 1: really efficient in many ways, except with some key mistakes, 33 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,960 Speaker 1: but overall, definitely an upgrade at quarterback. But they just 34 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: didn't get the job done and very critical moments. Good morning, Stephen. 35 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:28,760 Speaker 1: You know we're saying the same thing this week. It 36 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,359 Speaker 1: doesn't matter how you move the ball up and down 37 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: the field or that you come from behind. If if 38 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: you don't put the ball in the end zone, if 39 00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:37,440 Speaker 1: you don't get those red zone opportunities, you're not gonna win. Um. 40 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,239 Speaker 1: It's an interesting story. I was talking with folks in 41 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 1: Atlanta when we were up there in the preseason practicing 42 00:02:42,160 --> 00:02:44,520 Speaker 1: with him about Matt Ryan, because it's the third straight 43 00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 1: year you come in with a brand new quarterback and 44 00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,520 Speaker 1: they think that the Colts have it right this time 45 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:52,320 Speaker 1: because of the presence of Matt Ryan, who he is 46 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,920 Speaker 1: as an individual, the way that he carries himself, the 47 00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,600 Speaker 1: way that he leads a team. That that's a building 48 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 1: that's had strong quarterbacks and strong leadership it but no 49 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,239 Speaker 1: lack of identity. Do you sense that from Matters? Is 50 00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: that just part of the Colt's way and he's just 51 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: fitting in. No, I I do sense it, and I 52 00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:12,760 Speaker 1: tell you I feel even stronger about it after Sunday 53 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:16,120 Speaker 1: despite them not managing to actually get the win. You 54 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: know that Quentin Nelson, for example, they're they're all pro guard. 55 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 1: He told me after the game, he said that, you 56 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 1: know he was. He was really just captured by the 57 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,919 Speaker 1: fact that Matt Ryan, even when the deficit was twenty 58 00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:31,160 Speaker 1: two three and at that point, I'm thinking they're really 59 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,239 Speaker 1: gonna lose this game. And Matt Ryan at that point 60 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: went up and down the sideline to every single guy 61 00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: and got in everybody's space and brought them up and said, look, 62 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 1: we are gonna do this, and and I think you 63 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,760 Speaker 1: maybe expect that from a quarterback. I think in today's 64 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: day and age, we see guys miked up, and we 65 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 1: see the cameras on the sidelines, and we see a 66 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: lot of that. But I really think it's not just 67 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 1: that he does it. There's also a belief when he 68 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 1: does it. It's how he does it. And it's the 69 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 1: fact that they see it from him throughout the week. 70 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,000 Speaker 1: They see it him practice, they see it in the 71 00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: meeting room. He just he's a born leader, there's no 72 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: doubt about it. And he he runs this offense honestly 73 00:04:10,840 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 1: like a CEO. He has just a really interesting way 74 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:20,440 Speaker 1: about him. Stephen Um, I'm curious U Jonathan Taylor. There 75 00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,680 Speaker 1: were stories last week about uh, and I know you 76 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,040 Speaker 1: guys have talked to Frank right about managing carries, and 77 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,680 Speaker 1: yet it's gonna be hard to manage carries with this 78 00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: guy because he's so good. Uh. How do the Colts 79 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: balance that when they're really at their best when he's 80 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:39,520 Speaker 1: running the football. Well, you saw a great example of 81 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 1: the difficulty of that on Sunday because there were some 82 00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 1: instances in the first half of that game where Jonathan 83 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,200 Speaker 1: Taylor was one step away from going to the house, 84 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: like multiple times, and you can see it, and you 85 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: just kind of had this feeling like, all right, the 86 00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:59,400 Speaker 1: next one might be the one, and I can imagine 87 00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 1: that's are very tempting. I don't think they set out 88 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,080 Speaker 1: to have him run the ball, I believe thirty one times. 89 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: I don't think that was their game plan necessarily. But 90 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:10,599 Speaker 1: you know, the game goes the way the game goes, 91 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 1: and well, a couple of things happened. I mean, there 92 00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: were some instances where, uh, they were they were having 93 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: some some difficulties moving the ball through the air and 94 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,479 Speaker 1: they were having some efficiency on the ground, so they 95 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,200 Speaker 1: did that and they just went with the hot hand. 96 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 1: And I think when the game is tight and close 97 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,640 Speaker 1: like that, you kind of have to throw your plans 98 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: out the window. So if the goal was to preserve 99 00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: him going into the game, then once they got into 100 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: the game and they saw that that was their the 101 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,719 Speaker 1: best way of moving the football, then you have to 102 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:42,240 Speaker 1: just basically throw out the plans. I think that's what 103 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,240 Speaker 1: they did, and they said that they would do that 104 00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,160 Speaker 1: when when called upon, and I think that was an 105 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 1: instance where it was that's what it was gonna take 106 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: but yes, over the course of the season, they do 107 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,839 Speaker 1: want to watch his touches. You don't want your running 108 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,479 Speaker 1: back well over three touches, excuse me, three hundred carries 109 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,040 Speaker 1: per season, and he exceeded that last year. And Steven, 110 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,640 Speaker 1: as we get ready for this game Sunday in Jacksonville, 111 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,720 Speaker 1: we have to talk about this streak now that as 112 00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:13,880 Speaker 1: many years running of the Jaguars beating the Colts in Jacksonville, 113 00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:16,200 Speaker 1: forcing them out of the playoffs last season in the 114 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,240 Speaker 1: last regular season game. We all say, on both sides, Okay, 115 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: it's a new team. They don't think about that. But 116 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:26,239 Speaker 1: how much is that on the Colts mine this week? Well, 117 00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:29,440 Speaker 1: it's probably on their minds because they're gonna hear about it, Okay, 118 00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:33,040 Speaker 1: there's no doubt about it. They are gonna be inundated 119 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:39,479 Speaker 1: with questions about it, with stories, with talk on the radio. 120 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:42,960 Speaker 1: I mean, look, they can't escape. They know what happened, 121 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: and there's that was a very seismic I think shift 122 00:06:48,200 --> 00:06:52,320 Speaker 1: in this organization. You know what happened in Jacksonville in January, 123 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 1: and there's no way, there's no other way to look 124 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: at it. I think a lot of it prompted certainly 125 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,160 Speaker 1: some changes, and it prompted more and change that prompted 126 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: I think um and an attitude and a focus on 127 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 1: this team that they have to take a step and 128 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,640 Speaker 1: that that's not the kind of game that a serious 129 00:07:11,640 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: football team, that one that is that is serious about 130 00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,880 Speaker 1: about doing something in the postseason. That's not a game 131 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: you can lose to the team with at the time 132 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: the worst record in the NFL, with everything on the line, 133 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: and you certainly on paper have I have a considerable 134 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,120 Speaker 1: amount of talent more than the other team. There's no excuse. 135 00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,240 Speaker 1: And you just can't come back from that by just 136 00:07:35,280 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: saying it's just another game. That's just not gonna be acceptable. 137 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,200 Speaker 1: And so no one from the owner on down has 138 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 1: tried to spin it as just another game because it wasn't. 139 00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:48,200 Speaker 1: And I think that the Colts understand that, and I 140 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: really think that adds a layer of pressure for this 141 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: game on Sunday. I don't know how they'll respond to that, 142 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,200 Speaker 1: but no one can tell me and have me believe 143 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,240 Speaker 1: that there's not a considerable amount of pressure on on 144 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,280 Speaker 1: the Colts on Sunday. Yeah, it's certainly a big storyline, 145 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: you know, it's it's it's interesting We've asked you about 146 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: the quarterback and the running back, and we talked about 147 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: the offensive line. I mean, I think when you talk 148 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: with about the Colts, we still tend to talk about 149 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,320 Speaker 1: offense um. But what they've done on the defensive side 150 00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 1: of the ball, adding Stefan Gilmore and Yannick and Go 151 00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:21,640 Speaker 1: and a guy we know in Gus Bradley. Uh, what 152 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: have you seen from Gus and the way that he 153 00:08:24,480 --> 00:08:27,560 Speaker 1: has put his own personal stamp on defense? And is 154 00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 1: there expectations that Leonard is ready to go after his 155 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,160 Speaker 1: offseason back surgery or is that still day to day. Well, 156 00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: I'll answer the second question first. Leonard is is still 157 00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:42,760 Speaker 1: t b D And I actually am leaning a little 158 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,800 Speaker 1: more toward Week three at home against Kansas City. But 159 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,000 Speaker 1: we'll see you today is Wednesday. It's a big day. 160 00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:51,320 Speaker 1: We'll we'll learn more later today, but don't count on 161 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: him just yet. On Gus Bradley and that defense, I 162 00:08:54,720 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: really like what they have put together. Now we didn't 163 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: see I don't think the the ultimate um outcome or 164 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 1: or results on on Sunday. I thought they there's still 165 00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:09,959 Speaker 1: some growing pains and moving to that new scheme and 166 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,760 Speaker 1: and some of the intricacies that maybe didn't go quite 167 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: as they expected. There were some coverage issues that I 168 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: think we're not the product of ability, Uh, they were 169 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: the product of execution, and so they have to clean 170 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: that up. If they can do that, then I think 171 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:27,240 Speaker 1: you eliminate some of the things that you saw from 172 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans moving the ball through the air on 173 00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,840 Speaker 1: the ground. Look, the Colts are gonna be good against 174 00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: the run. I think this year of Grover Stewart, their 175 00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: nose tackle, had just some really really impactful place for them. 176 00:09:42,200 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: And they've talked all season long or all off season. 177 00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 1: The Forest Buckner, whose they're All Pro defensive tackle. He's 178 00:09:49,600 --> 00:09:52,479 Speaker 1: talked about how he loves this system and how it's 179 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,319 Speaker 1: reminiscent of the one that he played with or played 180 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,600 Speaker 1: in in San Francisco. So and I think, obviously, yeah, 181 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 1: I need to has has certainly embraced this scheme and 182 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:06,360 Speaker 1: had success in it with Gustin Jacksonville. So they have 183 00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:09,800 Speaker 1: a lot of reasons to be optimistic about this defense. 184 00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,680 Speaker 1: I think it will have a better showing and show 185 00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:16,240 Speaker 1: wings as the season progresses. But they've got to knock 186 00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: the kinks out and and kind of get all on 187 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,200 Speaker 1: the same page, and I don't know that that was 188 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,880 Speaker 1: the case just yet. It's gonna be an interesting game 189 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,920 Speaker 1: on Sunday, Colts and Jaguars and Jacksonville. It always is 190 00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,160 Speaker 1: when it's that matchup. Stephen Holder, thank you so much 191 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 1: for joining us on Jaguars Drive Time.

Thank 199 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: you to Stephen Holder from ESPN covering the Colts for 200 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: joining us this morning. Let's get right into big things 201 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:11,960 Speaker 1: because we have a lot to talk about here on 202 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Big thing one is here we go again 203 00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,960 Speaker 1: the mindset, the narrative that we've been hearing this week 204 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: of this is the same old Jaguars with the same 205 00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:22,240 Speaker 1: old struggles. Well, we're here to tell you that there 206 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: is one big difference with that narrative and that is 207 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,400 Speaker 1: the head coach who was working to change the narrative 208 00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:31,240 Speaker 1: that we're hearing this entire week. I don't. I don't 209 00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,920 Speaker 1: because again, it starts with me, you know, And I'm 210 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,840 Speaker 1: not gonna let that creep in our thinking at all. 211 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: And um, you know, I coached the staff that way 212 00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,199 Speaker 1: to make sure they're positive yet m very critical of 213 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,839 Speaker 1: the players as well, critical of ourselves and and um, 214 00:11:46,880 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 1: I'm just not gonna let that happen. Big thing too, 215 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,160 Speaker 1: is he's that guy speaking of changing the narrative Coach 216 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:55,920 Speaker 1: Peterson and the players impressed with how Coach Peterson led 217 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: this team back from a halftime deficit. Tyson Campbell, one 218 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: of the guys see game the head coaches praises, Yes, 219 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,720 Speaker 1: especially when you've got to coach this that's one before 220 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,160 Speaker 1: and you've got a bunch of group of guys that 221 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: want to win and you know, want to get to 222 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,439 Speaker 1: where he's been. Uh, and everybody buys in. You know, 223 00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: that just brings us even more coacher and makes us 224 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:22,320 Speaker 1: even more hungry. So uh, I think you know, that's 225 00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,520 Speaker 1: that's the coach that we're trying to bring around and 226 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:27,520 Speaker 1: just focus on winning, doing everything everything we need to 227 00:12:27,559 --> 00:12:30,839 Speaker 1: do for winning the little things, you know, whether it 228 00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: be you know, showing up a tire and meetings or 229 00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,440 Speaker 1: doing walkthroughs the correct way. It's just everything, a little 230 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: every little thing matters. So that's the coaching we're trying 231 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:43,880 Speaker 1: to bring in. And big thing three is accountability. Many 232 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,200 Speaker 1: things to improve this week getting ready to take on 233 00:12:46,280 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 1: the Colts. Penalties, dropped pastes, errant throws, miss tackles, you 234 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,719 Speaker 1: name it. Both the players and the coaches have to 235 00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:56,760 Speaker 1: take a step in the right direction this week. Yeah, 236 00:12:56,760 --> 00:12:58,679 Speaker 1: it's frustrating, but again I look at I look at 237 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 1: myself too and say, hey, can could I have done 238 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: a better job? You know, uh, putting our guys in situations. 239 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: But ultimately, you know, um, we're in this together, you know. 240 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: And and if the plays are there, we asked the 241 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:13,160 Speaker 1: players to make them right, and that's that's part of 242 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,640 Speaker 1: part of our philosophy. Make the plays that that kind 243 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200 Speaker 1: of come to you, you know, And and uh, we 244 00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:21,200 Speaker 1: didn't make enough of those yesterday. They were there, But 245 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: it's a good film to to correct and learn from 246 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,880 Speaker 1: and get better in week two. And that is big things. 247 00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: On a Wednesday morning, getting ready for the first home game, 248 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:33,680 Speaker 1: of the season, and very interestingly enough, it is against 249 00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: the Colts in this very long streak of the Jaguars 250 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,960 Speaker 1: beating the Colts here in Jacksonville. And we will talk 251 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:41,720 Speaker 1: all about Jonathan Taylor, the running game, the normal things 252 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 1: we talked about with the Colts. But Brian, the biggest 253 00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: thing is, you can worry about all of that, but 254 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,240 Speaker 1: if they don't fix the things that shot themselves in 255 00:13:48,240 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 1: the foot last week, none of that matters. Yeah, and 256 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: the good news is, I mean I saw a player 257 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:55,679 Speaker 1: or two that I was concerned about. I went back 258 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,679 Speaker 1: and watched the table feel a little better about the 259 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,680 Speaker 1: left ackle spot. I was worried about that, in particular 260 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: in with the game on the line where he didn't 261 00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: play all that well. Um, but none of these were 262 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: real talent issues. Now say this, Um, you know you 263 00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: look at some talent. You look at the three wide 264 00:14:10,360 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: receivers for the Redskins. I mean, they made game changing 265 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: plays over and over and over. You need your guys 266 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 1: to step up and do that. But across the board, 267 00:14:17,960 --> 00:14:20,920 Speaker 1: you mean you can fix the dumb penalty onto want 268 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,880 Speaker 1: smooth that costs you know, four points, gave up opportunity 269 00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: for them to go for a touchdown instead of a 270 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 1: field goal. You can you can fix hitting the upright, 271 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,120 Speaker 1: you can fix a lot of those those things. So 272 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:32,920 Speaker 1: now they just have to go and do it. I 273 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: just want to go back to a big thing one 274 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: real quick. You know, the online world, the Twitter world 275 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: that you guys spent a lot of time in. I'm 276 00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:41,000 Speaker 1: sure they're hammering it's the same old Jaguars, the same 277 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: old Jaguars, the same old Jaguars. It's not what I heard. 278 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,000 Speaker 1: I'm out about speaking engagement yesterday Public's last night insurance 279 00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: inspector at the house, and I asked all of them 280 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,960 Speaker 1: and some of them offered thoughts to me just coming up, 281 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,560 Speaker 1: and that's what I heard. I heard. It sucks they lost, 282 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: They still have a ways to go, but that looked 283 00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:00,360 Speaker 1: like a different team than last year. So oh, I'm 284 00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: not sure that the it's the same old Jaguars narrative 285 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:05,920 Speaker 1: that everyone expects is what you get in the outside world. 286 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:08,600 Speaker 1: What's the mail bag saying, well, that's the real question. 287 00:15:08,640 --> 00:15:11,120 Speaker 1: I heard a lot here we go again, and uh, 288 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,120 Speaker 1: I got I got hammered for it a little bit 289 00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 1: in the mail bag, people saying, well, how can you 290 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:19,520 Speaker 1: not expect fans to be frustrated. We spend all this money, 291 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:23,240 Speaker 1: and I get that. I get the frustration. But if 292 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:25,640 Speaker 1: you step back from this and look at this game 293 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,720 Speaker 1: on on Sunday, it was not here we go again. 294 00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,720 Speaker 1: It doesn't feel like here we go again. It feels 295 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 1: like that in the score. And I get that's all 296 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: that matters in the NFL is a score, and if 297 00:15:37,080 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: you win, that's the short term. But if you look 298 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,440 Speaker 1: at the long term, I just keep going back to 299 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:46,280 Speaker 1: they gave away eleven points in the red zone. They 300 00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 1: gave away four points with smooth penalty. They gave away 301 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: a couple of spots that are really easy to fix. 302 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: I get that you have to fix it, but I 303 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 1: didn't feel at any point in the last couple of 304 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,400 Speaker 1: seasons like they were close with a tweak. I didn't 305 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,120 Speaker 1: feel like they were a tweak here, a tweak here. 306 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: I felt like they were like, you know, there was 307 00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 1: a man fixed the foundation in the house. Now I 308 00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,440 Speaker 1: feel like maybe you just got a uh, you know, 309 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,400 Speaker 1: call a guy and fix the pub. When the guy 310 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,040 Speaker 1: that said, the guy that I was talking to last 311 00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: evening a public said to me, look, I felt like 312 00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:18,840 Speaker 1: watching that game that a year ago, they would have 313 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: just cascaded down in the second half and the game 314 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:23,480 Speaker 1: would have gotten away from them, and it would have been, 315 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: you know, twenty eight to three before they scored to 316 00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 1: make it look more respectable, he said. And I knew 317 00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: in the third quarter that it was a different team 318 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: because they changed a couple of things. They played a 319 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:35,400 Speaker 1: little better, he said. I'd still like to win, but 320 00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 1: I get that that's just all part of it, and 321 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: that they need to do things better. But he believes 322 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,560 Speaker 1: that the coaching staff could, which is what I heard 323 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:44,640 Speaker 1: over and over and over yesterday as I was talking 324 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: to people about it. So um, I like the fact 325 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 1: that people are watching it with a sharp eye and 326 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,160 Speaker 1: not just an emotional one, right, And that goes back 327 00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:54,000 Speaker 1: to our big thing too with he's the guy. I 328 00:16:54,040 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 1: liked how Coach Peterson we were talking about the silly mistakes, 329 00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,000 Speaker 1: taking the accountability for the penalties and saying that's on 330 00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 1: us to fix that. But then in the same way, 331 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, saying, hey, the players got to make place, 332 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:06,040 Speaker 1: and we see a multitude of that in week one, 333 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: that the opportunity was there, they put them in the 334 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,640 Speaker 1: right position, you gotta make the catch. Well, what he's 335 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,240 Speaker 1: saying in that. At least what I heard in that 336 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: was he's not saying, Jill, trust us, We'll get it fixed. 337 00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: What he's saying is, we'll get it fixed because we're 338 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 1: going to demand that the players play better, or we're 339 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: gonna find players who play better. He wasn't just saying, 340 00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:25,480 Speaker 1: you know, have faith and trust, it's a process, blah 341 00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: blah blah, which is what you hear from a lot 342 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 1: of coaches. He was saying, Hey, well, there's a process, 343 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: and we trust our players, but eventually the time comes 344 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,119 Speaker 1: where they have to make place and we're getting closer 345 00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,679 Speaker 1: to that point. Night. Doug on Sunday thought they had 346 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,600 Speaker 1: a good chance to win, and he thought they would win. 347 00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:45,120 Speaker 1: But I also think leading up to the first game 348 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,000 Speaker 1: of the regular season he talked a lot about adjustments. 349 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:51,080 Speaker 1: I think I think he knew that with this team 350 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 1: there was a chance. He even said in the post 351 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,560 Speaker 1: game there was a chance they could shoot themselves in 352 00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:57,879 Speaker 1: the foot because they are a young team still coming together. 353 00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,400 Speaker 1: That sometimes what young teams do. You know, they've got 354 00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:03,199 Speaker 1: to get through that. But the good news is that 355 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 1: kind of thing you can get through in one season, 356 00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: in one week when it is a huge talent lift, 357 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,320 Speaker 1: which I think this team needs more talent to be 358 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:13,719 Speaker 1: a great team. But I think it contend with this 359 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: team if it does the little things that it didn't 360 00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: do on Sunday. It was interesting in post game, Like 361 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,520 Speaker 1: you mentioned what he said, he told the team the 362 00:18:21,600 --> 00:18:23,480 Speaker 1: night before that we are going to be our own 363 00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:26,200 Speaker 1: worst enemy if we allow ourselves to be a very 364 00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,479 Speaker 1: self aware statement that this is a young team. If 365 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 1: we're not careful, we will continue to shoot ourselves in 366 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,879 Speaker 1: the foot. Remember he's been in this league since he 367 00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,639 Speaker 1: came as an undrafted rookie free agent. He has he 368 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 1: has seen it all. He's been through it all, winning, 369 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,840 Speaker 1: losing championships. The whole nine yards. He knows better than 370 00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,399 Speaker 1: any of us what he's got in that locker room. Uh, 371 00:18:44,520 --> 00:18:47,200 Speaker 1: if you listen carefully to him, you'll probably pick up clues. Yes, 372 00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:51,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't be the whole ten yards. Again, let's say what's 373 00:18:51,640 --> 00:18:54,159 Speaker 1: saying the whole nine yards? It ought to be the 374 00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,040 Speaker 1: whole ten yards. You know what you tend for a 375 00:18:56,119 --> 00:18:58,160 Speaker 1: first time, you bring up a very fair point. We're 376 00:18:58,160 --> 00:18:59,760 Speaker 1: going to go to break, and you can think about 377 00:18:59,760 --> 00:19:01,919 Speaker 1: that in this minute break. You can get back to us, 378 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: and that is big things that we come back on 379 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive time.

But before we go to 384 00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,199 Speaker 1: this or that, we learned something incredibly important in the 385 00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:37,960 Speaker 1: break well. There was a long time feature on w 386 00:19:38,119 --> 00:19:40,720 Speaker 1: o k V and Jacksonville called Hey Joe and our 387 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: own Joe Fortunate. I used to do it. I was 388 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:45,200 Speaker 1: going looking for where did the whole nine yards come from? 389 00:19:45,240 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 1: And he knew it off the top of his head. 390 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,760 Speaker 1: He is our Cliff Claven. For those of you who 391 00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: mad enough to remember, cheers um. It referred to parachuting, 392 00:19:52,920 --> 00:19:54,720 Speaker 1: where you need the whole nine yards of the parents. 393 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: There's nine yards of material and you need it all 394 00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: open to be able to land. That's where the whole 395 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:01,320 Speaker 1: nine yards comes from. It's not sports reference at all. 396 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 1: They can get to your first down. Well, who would 397 00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,160 Speaker 1: have thunk it? Not me? Or maybe you should start 398 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 1: a trend and say the whole ten yard gam Yeah, 399 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:10,720 Speaker 1: let's start it Brandon good luck. All right, let's that 400 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,160 Speaker 1: what you got. Bran who has the bigger job this week? 401 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,840 Speaker 1: Ben Bart's who has to square off against six ft 402 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,959 Speaker 1: seven and a half inch to Forest Buckner, who is 403 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,680 Speaker 1: a game record just a massive player. Or Tyson Campbell, 404 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,560 Speaker 1: who will probably be tasked with traveling with Michael Pittman, 405 00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: who at six four and two and twenty five pounds 406 00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:32,320 Speaker 1: is the go to guy. And if you remember the 407 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:37,480 Speaker 1: game in um Indianapolis last year, the second touchdown drive 408 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,800 Speaker 1: in the first half that they had, it was Michael Pittman. 409 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,880 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman, Michael Pittbell's they just kept delivering the bald 410 00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,280 Speaker 1: to him. He's coming off of a game in Houston 411 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,200 Speaker 1: where he was targeted thirteen times, more than twice any 412 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,800 Speaker 1: other receiver. So you know you got a body up 413 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:54,159 Speaker 1: against this big body. If you're Tyson Campbell, who's got 414 00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:59,520 Speaker 1: the bigger job? I would say Tyson Campbell after that description, 415 00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: you will get. I mean, I don't think he'll get 416 00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:03,040 Speaker 1: as much. Hell, I think I'll give Barton help inside 417 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,240 Speaker 1: you try, but still, I mean, Pittman is one of 418 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 1: those guys. He can make you look silly. I oh no, 419 00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,439 Speaker 1: I remember that game. I remember hearing his name over 420 00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:13,760 Speaker 1: and over and over again and thinking, my gosh, do 421 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 1: something put four guys on him. This is still This 422 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,240 Speaker 1: is a game of matchups, and those are two very 423 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:24,159 Speaker 1: difficult matchups. It's why the Colts have the potential to 424 00:21:24,320 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: be a a f C South Division title champion this 425 00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: year is because they've got more matchups than most other 426 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: teams do, and those two guys in particular, I think 427 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,160 Speaker 1: are the most difficult. Yeah, and Tyson Campbell. I think 428 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,719 Speaker 1: you can call it a bounce back game for him 429 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:39,840 Speaker 1: and sorts. He did have that great interception, and that's 430 00:21:39,840 --> 00:21:41,720 Speaker 1: what he's great at, but he didn't have that play 431 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,840 Speaker 1: at the very last drive where the touchdown one above 432 00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: his head, and you know it, Kelt felt on him. 433 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:48,360 Speaker 1: Especially on Monday in that press conference. You could help. 434 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: Remember Matt Ryan is used to throwing to a big 435 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:54,680 Speaker 1: receiver in Julio Jones, and if he target him thirteen times, 436 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: don't be surprised if this week he targets him fourteen times. 437 00:21:59,080 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: So Tyson Campbell is going to be tired at the 438 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:04,400 Speaker 1: end of that game. Big week for Tyson not even 439 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:09,320 Speaker 1: targeting fifteen times. I went, you know, Jaguars versus the 440 00:22:09,359 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: Colts in Jack's or the field, And what I meant 441 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:15,639 Speaker 1: by this is what's the weirder streak in the NFL 442 00:22:15,720 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: over the last six or seven years. I would maintain 443 00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,560 Speaker 1: there is, or is there anything in the entire league 444 00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:25,600 Speaker 1: that's weirder than this. I would take Jaguars versus Colt 445 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: as the weirdest streak in the NFL because there's really 446 00:22:29,560 --> 00:22:31,600 Speaker 1: no reason. The Colts have been the better team all 447 00:22:31,600 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: but one year and they have figured out a way 448 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,480 Speaker 1: to lose this game. Here there's been times j was 449 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: about played and then there's there's been times it's just 450 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 1: been weird. Um. But something Stephen Holder said piqued my 451 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,320 Speaker 1: interest on this. I think there's a lot of pressure 452 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: on the Colts in this game, not necessarily because of 453 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: the streak, and this is, you know, sort of splitting hairs. 454 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: If they had lost to the Jaguars in weeks six 455 00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 1: last year and it had been just kind of a 456 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: normal game, then I think the streak has the oddity 457 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,920 Speaker 1: feel that it it fell going Toto last Remember last 458 00:23:09,960 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: year we talked about a little bit in the last 459 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 1: game of the season, but didn't talk about it much 460 00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: Now it's everything, and I don't think it's as much 461 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,880 Speaker 1: the streak, but I think that was a franchise shaking 462 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:24,200 Speaker 1: loss for this team. Uh. Jim Mercy, who is not 463 00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: necessarily a quick trigger guy. He doesn't get involved with 464 00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 1: the team as much as people think he is because 465 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:33,480 Speaker 1: if his dad had a reputation for that. But it 466 00:23:33,560 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: shook Jim up. Uh, they changed quarterbacks, they reset the 467 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 1: back in front of his plane, and I mean, it's 468 00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,840 Speaker 1: whatever is Jim is or isn't. That's usually not his 469 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:48,960 Speaker 1: m O. He usually doesn't get involved like that, so 470 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: it shok him up. And I agree with Stephen, Usually 471 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:55,920 Speaker 1: these things don't affect the team. I feel like with 472 00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,119 Speaker 1: the fact that he was in that last game of 473 00:23:58,119 --> 00:24:01,000 Speaker 1: the season, not the streak, but that game does have 474 00:24:01,119 --> 00:24:03,240 Speaker 1: it being impact this week. I can't think of anything 475 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,840 Speaker 1: weirder in the NFL. But the league told you what 476 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: they thought of this. I mean, the Jaguars c Carson 477 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,119 Speaker 1: Wentz the quarterback in that game in Week one, and 478 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,280 Speaker 1: in week two their home opener, they get the Colts 479 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: right back here, so they're telling you there's something to it. 480 00:24:17,640 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: A couple of years ago, remember there was the Jaggers 481 00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: blew the doors off of them, scored fifty points, and 482 00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: and and then there was the game where was Andrew 483 00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:27,400 Speaker 1: lux final game where they didn't score, where the Jags 484 00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: shut him out here. Uh, and that was not a 485 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: very good Jacksonville team. Um. In fact, two of the 486 00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: last three season finales have been the Colts losing here. Um. Yeah, 487 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,800 Speaker 1: it's it's it's strange. Wasn't it you that said that 488 00:24:40,840 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: they have the score painting in the locker roo? Yeah? 489 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,920 Speaker 1: That was the story coming out of the off season 490 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: was is that Frank Wik wanted to make sure his 491 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,400 Speaker 1: team was dialed in and understood what can happen if 492 00:24:50,400 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: you're not completely dialed in. And so twenty three to 493 00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: eleven is painted somewhere in and around the locker room 494 00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: to remind players it ought to be in their kitchen, 495 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 1: because the Jags are in their kitchen. Yeah, alright, mine 496 00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:04,479 Speaker 1: this or that kind of goes along with that. It 497 00:25:04,600 --> 00:25:07,520 Speaker 1: is mind games or keep the streak alive. I don't 498 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:09,080 Speaker 1: want to say this is mind game, but I think 499 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 1: it's incredibly interesting that now Unique and Gockway is on 500 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,560 Speaker 1: the Colts and just yesterday the Colts tried out Josh 501 00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: Lambeo and matthew Wright reportedly to be their new kicker 502 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: the week of the Jaguars game. I don't want to 503 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: call this mind games, but are the Colts trying to 504 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,640 Speaker 1: do something here? My question is, Brian, will the mind 505 00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: games work? Are the Jaguars gonna win and keep the street. 506 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,919 Speaker 1: I don't think it's mind game. I think they're desperate 507 00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,520 Speaker 1: for a kicker. Blanket Ship just happened. They cut him, 508 00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 1: and it just so happens that you know both of 509 00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,159 Speaker 1: these guys. I mean, at one point, Lambeau was the 510 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: most accurate kicker in the league, and he was a 511 00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,560 Speaker 1: big reason why the Jaguars in seventeen were able to 512 00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: be consistent late in the season and get deep into 513 00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,399 Speaker 1: the playoffs. Um, matthew Wright was a hundred and sixty 514 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: five pounds last year. Now, I kicked the long field 515 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: goal to win the game in London, but he can't 516 00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 1: reach the end zone with his kickoffs, which is why 517 00:25:56,119 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 1: he's not here. Um. I don't think it's a mind 518 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:01,640 Speaker 1: game at all. I think they're desperate for some consistency 519 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,720 Speaker 1: at kicker, and they're willing to go after two guys 520 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:06,560 Speaker 1: that have at various moments in their career been able 521 00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,080 Speaker 1: to get the job done. Refresh my memory. Unique has 522 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:10,960 Speaker 1: been on so many teams and I can't remember from 523 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,959 Speaker 1: if he's been here, to Minnesota, to Baltimore to lausch Vegas, Indianapolis. 524 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: But is this not his first game back? It is 525 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:18,640 Speaker 1: his first game back here? Oh boy, is he gonna 526 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:21,320 Speaker 1: be fired up? Yeah, that's going to be intriguing. If 527 00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,200 Speaker 1: you'll find a reason to be mad even though nobody's 528 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: left to be mad at. It'll be a postgame comment 529 00:26:26,480 --> 00:26:28,440 Speaker 1: for sure. I'm ready for it. All right. That is 530 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,159 Speaker 1: the sort that presented by Price dot Com. When we 531 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: come back on Jaguars Drive Times some closing thoughts. Jaguars 532 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: Game Day Radio is brought to you by Vice Star, 533 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 1: Credit Union, do Good Bank Better Back on the practice 534 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: field today, it is Wednesday. In a big headline this week, 535 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:51,440 Speaker 1: knock on what is There are no really injuries we're 536 00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 1: paying attention to this week? Doug Peterson saying the team 537 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:57,800 Speaker 1: is completely healthy going into week two and that's very 538 00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,919 Speaker 1: interesting for Travessy, Tanna James Robinson. Great news on that, 539 00:27:01,160 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: so I don't have to pay attention to that. But 540 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:04,880 Speaker 1: what do you guys have coming up? This week, Brian, 541 00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:11,000 Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, you just hit me. That wasn't. 542 00:27:11,040 --> 00:27:13,600 Speaker 1: It wasn't. I wasn't prepared for that. I'm gonna grab 543 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 1: Bill Shoey, the outside linebackers coach, later today is he 544 00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,680 Speaker 1: leaves the field for a pregame radio interview, and I'm 545 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: interested because he coached Khalil mack Um in Chicago and 546 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: there have been comparisons for Trayvon Walker to Khalil Max, 547 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,480 Speaker 1: so I'm interested in getting his take on where Walker is. 548 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:34,760 Speaker 1: The plan is for Devin Lloyd to be Video Zone 549 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: podcast guest and I'll be writing, which is what you 550 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: do enough. Yeah, we joked that coach Showy I think 551 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:43,960 Speaker 1: has the best job in the world because he just 552 00:27:43,960 --> 00:27:46,240 Speaker 1: stays with Traybon Walker and Josh Allen all day. It's 553 00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:48,480 Speaker 1: just the three of them. Yeah, it's a pretty good job. 554 00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:50,840 Speaker 1: You know. It's funny because Josh never stops talking and 555 00:27:50,880 --> 00:27:53,040 Speaker 1: Trayvon I don't know that he does talk that much. 556 00:27:53,119 --> 00:27:55,119 Speaker 1: When he does, he's a lovely balance. He was eloquent 557 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: on Jaguars All Access last week. I thought he did 558 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,480 Speaker 1: a great job, but he's quiet and Josh is jabbermouth. Yes, 559 00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 1: it was that that would be an interesting room to 560 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: be It's a fabulous balance, I think. And that is 561 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,239 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive time on a Wednesday morning. We'll be right 562 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:12,720 Speaker 1: back here tomorrow morning at we will see them h
