WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 105 | Jaguars Must Stay the Course for a Win in Week 8 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:20.360 Welcome into Jagsam on this Thursday. I'm Kannannie Stevens. We're 0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:22.320 getting ready for a week eight of the season. The 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.720 Jaguars are going to take on the Packers this weekend 0:00:24.840 --> 0:00:26.840 at home. So let's kick things off with our big 0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:30.120 things today. Big Thing number one, best of the best. 0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:33.400 Does Peterson talking yesterday about what players he's going to 0:00:33.440 --> 0:00:35.720 be playing on defense as some players are coming off 0:00:35.720 --> 0:00:38.199 the injured reserve this week, and he says to him, 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.240 you have to play the best eleven players. But I 0:00:41.360 --> 0:00:46.280 do still think that there's enough of a rotational piece 0:00:46.360 --> 0:00:46.960 for those guys. 0:00:46.960 --> 0:00:49.880 I think that's one of the positions. 0:00:49.360 --> 0:00:50.080 That's gotten better. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:52.600 You know, the last couple of weeks hasn't been the linebacker. 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.040 I think Devin in the middle gotten better than Trell. 0:00:55.120 --> 0:00:58.000 We know he's improved, and now with the additional Foyer 0:00:58.080 --> 0:01:00.760 coming back, if he's ready to go, I think he's 0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:02.720 got your combinations back if you want. 0:01:05.760 --> 0:01:05.920 Ran. 0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:08.759 That specific question was about whether Ventrel Miller and Froy 0:01:08.840 --> 0:01:12.200 Alucan would be playing together as they saw Obviously the 0:01:12.240 --> 0:01:14.280 way Ryan Nielson rotates his defense, I'm sure we'll see 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.279 everybody out there, but whether that would be a rotation. 0:01:16.760 --> 0:01:18.760 I think we might see them actually together. We've talked 0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.319 about this and I think it might actually happen. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:24.120 Yes, yes, yes, yes, make that happen, because listen, you 0:01:24.240 --> 0:01:26.120 know have to be a football expert. You don't have 0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.600 to be a scout and burn up the table to 0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:32.160 see that Ventrel Miller belongs on the field. The way 0:01:32.240 --> 0:01:35.920 that he arrives at the ball, Guys go backward when 0:01:36.000 --> 0:01:37.920 he hits them. He's a young player with a lot 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:38.399 of energy. 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:38.720 John. 0:01:39.120 --> 0:01:42.280 He makes tons of tackles. I'm sure he makes mistakes 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.440 as well, but he's a guy that the more you 0:01:44.520 --> 0:01:47.440 play him, the better he'll get. Foye Lui hun comes back. 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:51.920 Is your most accomplished linebacker. Why wouldn't you have them 0:01:52.000 --> 0:01:52.520 on the field. 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:53.080 Yeah. 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.800 We've been talking a lot this year about, you know, 0:01:55.680 --> 0:01:59.080 Jaguar's knee, guys who make plays in big situations, and 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.320 I feel like Ventrel Miller has shown he's that guy. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.560 He's a football player, he's instinctive. He seems to be 0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.480 in the right place at the right time. I think 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:10.760 I think it's a positive for this defense in the 0:02:10.800 --> 0:02:12.799 next few weeks. I don't know if Foyer's back this week. 0:02:12.840 --> 0:02:14.959 I don't know if Dewey Winards back this week, but 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.320 don't all those guys sort of fit that of guys 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.400 who are good football player and I'd say great athletes, 0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.000 you know, but they're in. 0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:25.760 The right situation, they make plays. 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.639 You could see the middle of the defense get a 0:02:28.720 --> 0:02:30.440 lot better in next couple weeks because of that. 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.000 Our second big thing going to be stay the course. 0:02:33.040 --> 0:02:35.800 We're talking about some of those players returning to this team, 0:02:35.880 --> 0:02:38.160 and we've also talked about taking it one week at 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:40.440 a time, right, but we've seen this team go on 0:02:40.560 --> 0:02:43.640 runs before, specifically in the twenty twenty two season. Andrew 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.560 Wingard addressed that what the differences between the teams. 0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:50.640 Were when we get into these late, you know, early 0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:54.200 November games. I think that's when we get dangerous. Honestly. 0:02:54.840 --> 0:02:58.160 Teams are starting to look at playoff pictures, they're starting 0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:58.560 to look at. 0:02:58.520 --> 0:03:00.880 Divisional races, and they're not really thinking about us, and 0:03:00.919 --> 0:03:02.519 I think that's when we can, you know, sort of 0:03:02.560 --> 0:03:04.760 jump on teams. And that's really what we did late 0:03:04.800 --> 0:03:07.600 in twenty two. I mean jumped on Dallas, jumped on 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:09.040 Baltimore or stuff like that. 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.160 So it's not gonna take I mean if you were 0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:13.440 to look at it on paper, you'd. 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:16.560 Say, oh, god, we played we play Minnesota, we played 0:03:16.639 --> 0:03:18.040 Green Bay, we played Detroit. 0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.359 But it's like, we have such a talented team. 0:03:20.400 --> 0:03:23.720 And I've been on bad teams here, like bad teams 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:26.040 that you knew were gonna lose, like you literally had 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.679 no chance. But this team is seriously so good and 0:03:29.760 --> 0:03:31.360 I can't remember who last it. But back to your 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:33.320 point about being away from it, like this team is 0:03:33.440 --> 0:03:36.360 damn good. I can get a damn good team. It's 0:03:36.520 --> 0:03:40.680 just you gotta go make plays. And I think we 0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.120 didn't make plays early, but you take that variance, the 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:46.040 things are gonna flip. And as long as we just 0:03:46.120 --> 0:03:49.240 stayed you know, ten toes down and just put up 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:50.800 to push all the chips into the metal, we're gonna 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:51.040 be fine. 0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:52.960 John. 0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:55.360 I think Dey's confidence alone has me gassed up. I'm 0:03:55.400 --> 0:03:58.320 believing in them again. He's saying that, you know, when 0:03:58.360 --> 0:04:00.400 they made that come back in twenty twenty two, nothing 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.720 really changed. They just took it one game at a time, 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:04.920 as they always say. But you know, maybe some of 0:04:04.920 --> 0:04:06.840 the pressure being on other teams, they can feed off 0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:10.080 of that and kind of underestimating the team is that 0:04:10.240 --> 0:04:11.280 something you agree with or what. 0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:13.080 Do you think of his take? He's the best. 0:04:13.200 --> 0:04:15.920 I mean he look, I don't know if he's the 0:04:15.960 --> 0:04:17.480 fastest guy in the world and if he's the best 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:18.919 safety I've ever seen, but. 0:04:20.400 --> 0:04:22.520 He gets it. I'm not sure there's ever. 0:04:22.480 --> 0:04:24.800 Been a guy who has been so embraced by the 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:28.719 fan base because they get it. The best thing he said, 0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.440 and probably off topic, he was asked about being the 0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:35.160 savior yesterday and it was a little sarcastic, and you 0:04:35.200 --> 0:04:37.640 could see him thinking back to his rookie year and 0:04:37.720 --> 0:04:40.840 his second year when the fans just couldn't stand him, 0:04:40.960 --> 0:04:43.280 and he goes, boy, it's changed, that's new, you know. 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:48.560 But look, he's right, And the reason it's important for 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.960 him to be back is because he can say what 0:04:51.160 --> 0:04:55.640 he said in that SoundBite to the players and they 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.400 get it. They believe him. He's a leader. They know 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.400 he's here for the right reason, playing for the right reasons. 0:05:02.040 --> 0:05:04.400 Getting him back's key, and Brian, he's right. You know, 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.800 it's only a few plays that had them out of 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:10.560 this thing. A few plays could get them back into 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:10.800 this thing. 0:05:10.839 --> 0:05:13.920 Well, yeah, they lost on opening day in Miami at 0:05:13.960 --> 0:05:16.840 a field goal to a field goal at the final 0:05:16.880 --> 0:05:18.760 play of the game, and they lost on the last 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:20.800 play of the game in Houston. So you can make 0:05:20.839 --> 0:05:24.039 the case they're certainly better than the record indicates they are. 0:05:24.080 --> 0:05:25.880 They just haven't played well enough to get it done. 0:05:26.120 --> 0:05:29.200 Getting Dewy back, Tyson Campbell's on the field. Foyer should 0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.120 be back here in the next week or so. To 0:05:31.200 --> 0:05:32.800 get these guys back in the middle of the defense 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.920 would certainly help them out. But I do think it's 0:05:34.960 --> 0:05:37.440 the confidence that he brings, that the understanding of the 0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:40.120 defense that he brings, and just effect that. If you 0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:43.360 recall the Baltimore game, even the Dallas game, he was 0:05:43.560 --> 0:05:47.440 in on Nickel and Dine packages, making plays on third 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.520 and fourth downs that got the ball back for the 0:05:49.640 --> 0:05:52.560 Jaguars offense. He was a critical player in that run. 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:55.200 So when he says it, he says it with authority, 0:05:55.440 --> 0:05:57.560 and they haven't had enough authority in that locker room 0:05:57.800 --> 0:05:58.640 in recent weeks. 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.880 Ky, there are some player Sorry I interrupted, I got 0:06:01.880 --> 0:06:04.480 everybody off track. There are some players who everybody worries 0:06:04.480 --> 0:06:08.160 about what they can't do with Dewey. Embrace what he 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.440 does do and what he does bring back, and he's 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:11.080 one of those guys. 0:06:11.320 --> 0:06:14.240 Absolutely, hopefully we see him sooner than later. Possibility he'll 0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:16.240 be in this week against the Packers. Our final big 0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:18.480 thing today is going to be a lot versus a little. 0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:20.880 We've talked a lot about takeaways, how this team hasn't 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.040 had a lot of takeaways. Packers have had a lot 0:06:23.080 --> 0:06:25.200 of takeaways seventeen so far this season, but they've also 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:27.680 turned the ball over a lot. Jordan Love throwing some 0:06:27.839 --> 0:06:30.520 interceptions for sure. So Brian, when you're looking at the 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.360 differences between takeaways and turnovers and whatnot, do you think 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:34.560 that can play a key factor. 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:36.520 In this game. Well, I do, And since you talked 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.680 about their defense, I'll stay on that side of the ball. 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:43.360 Trevor Lawrence last year had fourteen interceptions and seven fumbles. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:45.520 Seven we can remember some of the big ones. The 0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:47.760 one here against the Baltimore Ravens at the end of 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.039 the first half, you know, sticks out in my mind. 0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.120 He has only turned the ball over three times this 0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:58.000 year and lack on wood there. Brian had no fumbles none. 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.800 So the point is is that one of the reasons 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.080 why I have confidence in their ability to go play 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.440 with the Packers is because the quarterback is playing well. 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.520 He's played well the last three weeks, and he's protecting 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:12.920 the football. He talked about it yesterday when he met 0:07:12.960 --> 0:07:15.440 with the media, talked about the drills that he goes through, 0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:19.119 but the mental approach to protecting the ball, like putting 0:07:19.120 --> 0:07:21.360 two hands on it when you get outside the pocket 0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:23.680 and not taking the other hand off of it until 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.760 you're literally ready to throw the football. It's the little 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:30.520 things that make the biggest difference, and he's really keyed 0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:31.680 in on the little things right now. 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:36.040 Ye, I very much agree with Brian. It's a overlooked 0:07:36.160 --> 0:07:39.000 story because they haven't won, but he's done a great 0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:42.720 job protecting the ball, and to me, that's the key 0:07:42.800 --> 0:07:46.200 to this game. On Sunday, Packers seventeen takeaways through these 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.040 games is served, especially considering they didn't have one last 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:52.000 week and the Jaguars only have two defensive takeaways. 0:07:53.480 --> 0:07:55.000 You're not gonna win in the NFL. 0:07:56.200 --> 0:07:57.840 You're gonna be two and five if you have two 0:07:57.880 --> 0:07:59.480 defensive takeaways after seven games. 0:08:00.120 --> 0:08:02.440 If they can reverse that, you can stay in this game. 0:08:02.560 --> 0:08:04.680 And there's a reason why you should be optimistic about 0:08:04.680 --> 0:08:07.560 their ability, and that is in the four games since 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.440 Jordan lov Raturny has thirteen touchdown passes and a reason 0:08:10.560 --> 0:08:12.680 to be very wary of what he's capable of. But 0:08:12.720 --> 0:08:15.960 he also has eight interceptions in that same time framet, 0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.560 so he's a risk taker and he's going to make 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:22.000 him throws. Maybe this is the week that Cisco or 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.240 Tyson holds the ball and gives the offense an extra 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.640 possession on the other side of the field. 0:08:27.920 --> 0:08:30.400 There will be opportunities, just have to take advantage. Say 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:32.000 it's here on Jagsam, we're going to dive a little 0:08:32.000 --> 0:08:33.920 bit deeper into that matchup against the Green Bay Packers. 0:08:46.679 --> 0:08:49.760 Jag Zam is brought to you by Seafield's First, Jacksonville's 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.240 premier luxury autogroup. You can head over the Fields Auto 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:58.240 dot com to check it out. Welcome back into jags Aam. 0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:00.360 It is week eight. As I mentioned, it hard to 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.480 believe at this point, but we are getting there and 0:09:02.800 --> 0:09:04.600 they're taking on the Green Bay Packers this week, which 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.640 is certainly going to be a challenge. The NFC North 0:09:06.760 --> 0:09:08.599 in general is going to be a challenge for this 0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.280 Jaguars team. So I listened into some of their media 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:13.880 availability yesterday kind of trying to feel out where they 0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:17.599 are at exactly. Matt Lafleur obviously very well researched on 0:09:17.679 --> 0:09:19.320 every team he faces, but he talked a little bit 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:20.760 about what Trevor Lawrence. 0:09:20.480 --> 0:09:21.120 Brings to a game. 0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.520 I see an elite quarterback that's capable of making every 0:09:26.600 --> 0:09:28.320 throw and then he can beat you with his legs. 0:09:28.440 --> 0:09:31.920 So I don't think there's anything he can't do. I 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:35.760 think he is an elite guy and he's got some 0:09:35.880 --> 0:09:40.360 weapons around him, and like I said earlier, I just 0:09:40.400 --> 0:09:41.800 think it's gonna be a good challenge for us. 0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.640 Obviously very respectful of Trevor's talents, Brian, I sometimes forget 0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:49.280 to what that Trevor does run right, but he can 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:50.880 scramble a little bit, and I'm like, oh, yeah, that's 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:52.400 something you have to think about with him, for sure. 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.240 And I think he's even gotten better this year because 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.120 when he does scramble, he still is looking to throw 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.720 the football, which I think is an evolution of his game. 0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:01.560 I've noticed that is a step that he's taken. 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:02.040 Since last season. 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:02.640 Without a doubt. 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.360 His mobility outside the pocket, I mean, he's not Lamar 0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:08.319 Jackson by any stretch of the imagination, but he can 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:11.400 keep things alive and with a guy like Brian Thomas 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:15.199 breaking down the field, that's a really important thing. I 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.360 just I went back and I watched the throw again 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:22.040 to Brian Thomas, and when you see Christian Gonzalez arm 0:10:22.200 --> 0:10:25.120 outstretched over his shoulder, you marvel at the fact that 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:28.440 the ball just went right inside that and somehow Brian 0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.160 was able to look up over his shoulder with the 0:10:30.360 --> 0:10:34.840 arm there, running full speed, falling and still get the ball. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:37.800 I mean, it was a phenomenal catch, but it was 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:41.079 a great throw, and it's hard not to say he 0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.440 has elite traits when you see that throw. 0:10:43.760 --> 0:10:47.080 Yeah, it became so vogue when he had one bad 0:10:47.120 --> 0:10:49.000 game where he missed two guys right, and that was 0:10:49.000 --> 0:10:49.840 against the Texans. 0:10:50.960 --> 0:10:52.920 I thought just as impressive. A throw the other day 0:10:53.000 --> 0:10:54.880 was a throw to Christian Kirk over. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:56.600 The top of the twenty four yard I him if 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.079 it was a safety or linebacker, but he had to 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:00.679 throw to a level between the enders. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.959 At a time when the game didn't feel very good 0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:07.640 for the Jaguars. That was a huge play. Look, he's 0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:08.319 coming along. 0:11:10.240 --> 0:11:12.640 You talk about above the x's and o's type plays. 0:11:12.679 --> 0:11:14.320 To me, that was an above the x's and o's 0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.760 type play. Uh, it's a play you should make when 0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.840 every quarterback makes it. He's starting to do that stuff 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.679 and you just need to see it more consistently and 0:11:25.040 --> 0:11:27.080 you know, keep growing and all those things we've been 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:27.600 talking about. 0:11:27.600 --> 0:11:30.760 But he's he's he's playing better, excuse he is, and 0:11:30.840 --> 0:11:31.480 at a time. 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:33.640 Now where obviously you've seen what Brian Thomas Junior can do, 0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:36.360 but a lot of talent is around him, which is 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:39.600 I think helping him elevate his game. David McKinney, one 0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.800 of the safeties for the Packers, spoke about the threat 0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:44.000 that BTJ is and what they look for with the 0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:44.640 game play. 0:11:48.120 --> 0:11:48.400 A lot. 0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:51.480 He gives him his a vertical threat for them. Obviously, 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:54.640 he's a guy that has great hair and he's got 0:11:54.800 --> 0:11:57.600 goot speed. So I think it helps their their offense 0:11:57.640 --> 0:12:01.199 a lot. And he's another playmaker. Uh that's you know, 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:05.400 that's added to what they already have. So like I said, man, 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.360 they got a talented offense man, and they got some 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.480 they got some really good guys. It's just been that 0:12:10.679 --> 0:12:13.480 small you know, sometimes it just happens. I I I 0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.520 I've been in New York where you know there were 0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:18.319 games where you know it it came down to three 0:12:18.400 --> 0:12:21.679 points or seven points, and sometimes you just don't win 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:22.360 those games. 0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:26.120 And but it doesn't say, uh, it doesn't you know, 0:12:26.280 --> 0:12:27.880 tell all this the the whole story. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:30.679 So, uh, we definitely understand that we we n we 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.600 know that, you know, they're capable of of winning these. 0:12:33.480 --> 0:12:35.560 Games, they just haven't and sometimes it's just how things 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:36.000 shake out. 0:12:36.040 --> 0:12:38.040 But uh, we do know that they have a very 0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:40.360 talented team and we gotta, you know, make sure that 0:12:40.440 --> 0:12:41.600 we are on our p's and q's. 0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:46.320 John when you hear you know, obviously they're talking about 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:49.200 the Jaguars kind of losing some of these one score games, 0:12:49.280 --> 0:12:51.560 but also the talent that's around and we've seen Brian 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:53.679 Thomas Junior, but now to see that it's coming out 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.160 on tape and and teams are aware of the presence 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.800 and the speed that he brings. I think that'll kind 0:12:58.800 --> 0:13:01.560 of lead to some other things elsewhere on the offense 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.439 because of the respect that Brian's now getting. 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:05.360 Well, it was a couple of things. This will be 0:13:06.280 --> 0:13:10.280 Brian's next step, meaning now teams are very aware of him. 0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.320 They'll shade defenses to him a little bit. That hinders 0:13:14.400 --> 0:13:16.920 some guys and some guys play right through that, and 0:13:17.760 --> 0:13:20.920 you get the idea for Brian Thomas Junior because not 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:25.439 like teams haven't been aware of him, the Patriots, we're 0:13:25.440 --> 0:13:27.839 aware of him, and he still made plays through that. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:31.559 You can't double cover a guy in every scheme on 0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:34.280 every play. I think they'll still continue to throwing the 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.200 ball when it's there, but absolutely it's gonna help Christian 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:42.920 Kirk and Evan Ingram, maybe even Gabe Davis. This dynamic 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:46.560 Brian is the next step when you get a great player, 0:13:47.679 --> 0:13:49.920 he shows he's great, and then you have to show 0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.240 how they're going to adapt when defenses start playing that 0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.400 guy differently. This is a very quick evolution, but the 0:13:56.440 --> 0:13:58.320 next step in the evolution for BTJ. 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.520 Well, and it's a big step for Trevor Lawrence as well, 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:04.199 because that guy McKinney leads the NFL with five interceptions 0:14:04.240 --> 0:14:07.280 in seven games, So you can bet that they're going 0:14:07.360 --> 0:14:10.599 to have him wherever seven is and the quarterback is 0:14:10.640 --> 0:14:12.840 going to have to throw in that direction Kui, which 0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.880 means you're going to be very smart. You're going to 0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.079 have to make good throws. There's going to be some 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.920 high percentage throws and some of those Let's take a shot. 0:14:22.040 --> 0:14:25.080 Because he's that good. We got our best, their best. 0:14:25.200 --> 0:14:28.520 Let's go for it. But to your point, if he's 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:31.600 over there covering Brian Thomas Jr. Someone else is going 0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:33.760 to have an opportunity to make a play, which should 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.240 open things up. Absolutely. 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.680 Let's turn to the defensive side of football. Obviously, Jordan 0:14:37.760 --> 0:14:40.040 love some of that injury and the season opener, but 0:14:40.120 --> 0:14:42.760 he's been back recently and been playing pretty well and 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:45.360 showing that ability that we've seen and what people are 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.600 expecting him to be in terms of a great quarterback. 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.359 He talked a little bit yesterday about the offensive philosophy 0:14:50.440 --> 0:14:51.120 he's working. 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.480 With, the explosive plays. 0:14:53.520 --> 0:14:56.600 The big play kind of mentality that we have is 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:59.200 to go hunt those explosive plays, and you know, we 0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.080 got a lot of play makers who were making some 0:15:01.200 --> 0:15:04.840 big time plays, so that's very exciting to see. But yeah, 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.200 I think the biggest thing for us is finding that consistency, 0:15:08.000 --> 0:15:10.600 trying to go and not have any drives, whereas those 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:12.960 three and out drives where you're out there quick and 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:14.680 back on the sideline. So just trying to build on 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:17.720 every little thing and keep stack of the details will 0:15:17.720 --> 0:15:18.320 be huge for us. 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.160 Jordan Love focusing on those explosive plays. We've certainly seen 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.720 a lot of those. I know, defense around here likes 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.320 to do nothing cheap, nothing deep, but they're going to 0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:27.760 try to go deep on you. And it's a matter 0:15:27.800 --> 0:15:28.320 of dealing with that. 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:30.760 They have speed, I mean, just they have speed all 0:15:31.080 --> 0:15:34.280 over their receiver corps. And this guy's got the arm 0:15:34.360 --> 0:15:37.040 and just you know, I just an appreciation for the 0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:39.400 fact that he sat the bench for a couple of 0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:43.400 years behind Aaron Rodgers. So if you go back more 0:15:43.480 --> 0:15:46.680 than thirty what farve got there? At ninety ninety two 0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:51.640 two he arrived in Green Bay. So Brett Farr to 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:57.000 Aaron Rodgers to Jordan Love, Yeah, thirty plus years, they've 0:15:57.040 --> 0:16:01.240 only had three quarterbacks. They have a great run going 0:16:01.480 --> 0:16:04.680 and this guy, if you watch the playoff game that 0:16:04.840 --> 0:16:07.760 he helped them winning Dallas last year, you realized he 0:16:08.080 --> 0:16:09.600 was that level of quarterback. 0:16:10.040 --> 0:16:12.000 Yeah, the Packers kind of show you. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:14.360 And this is not I mean, I'm a players guy. 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:18.880 Players absolutely are the NFL. Sometimes you can't listen to 0:16:18.920 --> 0:16:20.640 players if you want to go to a great organization. 0:16:20.840 --> 0:16:23.400 Meaning Far didn't like it when they brought in Aaron Rodgers, 0:16:23.480 --> 0:16:25.880 Rodgers didn't like when they brought in Jordan Love. It's 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:30.560 not your team, so we're gonna do what's best. Also, 0:16:31.480 --> 0:16:33.680 Packers of Jordan Love did a great thing the most 0:16:33.720 --> 0:16:37.960 franchises don't do anymore, which is fans didn't like the 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:42.480 pick because they wanted receivers ere Aaron Rodgers, Fine, you 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.560 think that, and now we're going to run the organization. 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:46.200 So credit to the Packers. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:46.680 They did that. 0:16:46.840 --> 0:16:50.440 And with Jordan Love, right now, this is still the 0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:52.600 time to get him. He's great, He's going to be great. 0:16:53.120 --> 0:16:56.640 He is still throwing passes that allow you an opportunity. 0:16:57.200 --> 0:17:01.240 Javers have had opportunity for interceptions this season. You have 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.800 to hold the ball, right, Yeah, that's part of it. 0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:08.160 So if they do that, you know there are quarterbacks 0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.080 in this league who defenses will say, he's going to 0:17:11.119 --> 0:17:11.960 give us a couple of chances. 0:17:12.160 --> 0:17:13.480 We have to take advantage of the chances. 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:16.800 He can run. He doesn't want to run, he wants 0:17:16.880 --> 0:17:20.240 to stand in the pocket. He has such great confidence 0:17:20.320 --> 0:17:22.760 in his arm, and it's a great arm. And you've 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:25.399 got these receivers Read and Dobbs, I mean they and 0:17:25.480 --> 0:17:28.440 Christian Watson, who's that six foot four guy who is 0:17:28.560 --> 0:17:31.040 kind of like Brian Thomas. He'll get down the field 0:17:31.080 --> 0:17:33.440 and then use his length to elevate and make a 0:17:33.560 --> 0:17:36.679 catch over a defensive back. So they've got it all, 0:17:37.600 --> 0:17:37.960 sure do. 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:39.240 Its gonna be a tough one, for sure. 0:17:39.280 --> 0:17:40.120 We'll keep an eye on things. 0:17:40.200 --> 0:17:41.800 We'll tell you after the break what we think the 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:43.720 headlines are going to be on Monday morning after the game. 0:17:55.200 --> 0:17:58.239 Setteth his Lord's trusted and reliable moving company.

We're going to do our little our 0:18:13.440 --> 0:18:16.160 best at predicting the future today as we think about 0:18:16.200 --> 0:18:18.280 this game against the Packers, We're going to try to 0:18:18.359 --> 0:18:20.960 think what we think the headlines will be on Monday. So, Brian, 0:18:21.000 --> 0:18:22.639 when you're looking forward to Monday, what do you think 0:18:22.680 --> 0:18:23.480 we'll be talking about? 0:18:23.840 --> 0:18:23.959 Well? 0:18:24.000 --> 0:18:27.200 I left the locker room yesterday with the distinct sense 0:18:27.280 --> 0:18:29.199
