WEBVTT - Ep. 54: Sense of Urgency for Must-Win Week 17 | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:22.160 Jobs. Welcome into Jagsam today. 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:25.599 I'm kind Nannie Stevens, John Osier, and Brian sexsoner with 0:00:25.640 --> 0:00:27.920 me here today as we get ready to go over 0:00:28.480 --> 0:00:32.080 a pretty tough holiday weekend for Jags fans, as Jags 0:00:32.080 --> 0:00:34.040 lost their fourth game in a row to the Bucks, 0:00:34.040 --> 0:00:36.440 and after the game, Trevor Lawrence pretty much at a 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:37.200 loss for words. 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.360 It's really embarrassing and frustrating. And you put a lot 0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.600 of work in to do that, and to look like 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:49.680 you don't even practice. I mean, that's what it looks like, 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:51.960 which is, you know, it's got a call like you 0:00:52.000 --> 0:00:54.360 see it sometimes. I mean, it's it's bad all the 0:00:54.360 --> 0:00:56.640 way around. So we gotta find ways to get better. 0:00:56.800 --> 0:00:58.920 We gotta get out of our own way. It just 0:00:58.920 --> 0:01:00.920 feels like everything's so different right now. I just do 0:01:01.080 --> 0:01:04.680 simple things, you know, make the simple place. Just get 0:01:04.720 --> 0:01:06.880 back to doing what we what we've done this season 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.679 at points and when we were playing well and you know, 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.480 we know we have we have what it takes, but 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.480 I mean we haven't the last month. So at the 0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:17.560 most important times, we got to play better and we're not. 0:01:17.720 --> 0:01:21.959 So let's get into our big things here today. Because 0:01:22.000 --> 0:01:24.000 the first big thing is this team is reeling right now. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:27.679 They had a winless December thus far, they lost four games, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:29.880 and as you heard Trevor say, feels like the team 0:01:29.920 --> 0:01:32.440 looks like they don't practice. Now he hasn't practiced because 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.840 of injuries, but the rest of the team has. Doug 0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.720 Peterson tried to figure out exactly what Turyor's trying to say, 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:39.279 and when. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:41.800 He doesn't practice, maybe he feels that way, you know, 0:01:42.000 --> 0:01:43.880 And I can I can see that right when when 0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.440 when your quarterback doesn't get the reps he needs during 0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:48.400 the week and you're trying to get the mental reps 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:50.760 for him, and he's also working on you know, the 0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.600 concussion protocol and then getting cleared from that. So there, 0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:56.160 I can see where he would say something like that. 0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:59.480 But listen, you guys are you guys are in practice. 0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:01.560 You see the the way the way we go and 0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:05.040 what we've done, and you know, the guys are working 0:02:05.040 --> 0:02:08.400 hard and and but you know we've got some new 0:02:08.400 --> 0:02:12.520 faces on offense that yeah, they they've they've gotta they've 0:02:12.520 --> 0:02:16.200 gotta you know, they've got to pay attention to if 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.919 we're doing kills and alerts and different things at the quarterback. 0:02:19.360 --> 0:02:21.720 You know, wants to get us into They've got to 0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:23.639 pay attention, They've got to focus and lock in. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.760 Brian, those are some strong words from Trevor about what 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:29.320 the team's been looking like lately. 0:02:29.360 --> 0:02:30.519 Where's the disconnect here? 0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:34.160 Well, look for me, I was glad to see him 0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.800 express that frustration out loud. He has since his rookie 0:02:37.880 --> 0:02:41.079 season when things were way off the rails, always been 0:02:41.080 --> 0:02:43.160 the guy who says the right thing and keeps the 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:45.600 focus on the team. To be honest with you, John, 0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.400 I was looking for sort of a Patrick Mahomes moment, 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:48.760 you know, that one at the end of that Bills 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:50.679 game that the Chiefs lost, that Air had a few 0:02:50.680 --> 0:02:53.040 weeks ago where he went nuts on the sideline and 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:55.520 was so angry about his team. I get it. People 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.560 express their frustration in different ways, but to me, this 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:01.640 was just as far as Trevor has gone down that 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.880 road of pointing out the deficiencies and not seeming to 0:03:04.880 --> 0:03:07.480 worry too much about who cared about what he said. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.560 And I think it's important because it's his team. This 0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:13.920 is on him. He's the leader, and if he's frustrated 0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.160 in expressing it to the media, you know he's doing 0:03:16.240 --> 0:03:18.399 it to his teammates and that gives them a chance 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:19.160 to make the correction. 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:19.600 Yeah. 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:23.280 I think it was his version of you know what 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:27.000 Mahomes did at the end of the game. Look, he's 0:03:27.040 --> 0:03:30.680 not without fault, the pocket stuff, the losing the fumbles. 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:34.400 At some point that has to stop or minimize. It's 0:03:34.440 --> 0:03:38.480 gonna happen. But a lot of the miscommunications with receivers. 0:03:39.360 --> 0:03:41.960 There's so much to dig into with Trevor's performance, but 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:46.120 so much of it not practicing. All that stuff feels 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:50.400 like it's adding up a little bit. I wish I 0:03:50.480 --> 0:03:53.960 had one sentence that could sum up the lead of 0:03:54.000 --> 0:03:58.920 this section. Reeling they are, but again it's still not irvy, 0:03:58.960 --> 0:03:59.880 It's still in first place. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.880 Yeah, well silver lining, they are reeling for sure. Let's 0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:06.520 go to our second big thing, which is another one. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:09.200 Trevor Lawrence had a tough performance against the Bucks, and 0:04:09.240 --> 0:04:11.800 he left that game with another injury as an ac 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:15.200 sprain to his right his throwing shoulder, and that's his 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.799 fourth injury so far this season. Doug Peterson talked about 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.560 the violent nature of the game and how he's going 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:21.880 to deal with his hurt quarterback. 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:25.960 My injuries are going to happen and especially to the 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:31.160 quarterback position. You know, all the all the injuries that 0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:34.040 that he has sustained are all you know, all all hits, 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:38.040 you know, all contact stuff, and and it's it's part 0:04:38.040 --> 0:04:40.000 of it, you know, And that's that's his style, and 0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:43.320 that's his aggressiveness and and you know, he's he's been 0:04:43.360 --> 0:04:45.680 fortunate enough to bounce back from all of them. So 0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:48.160 you know, we'll see as he goes this week where 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:52.200 he's at. But you know, we've been fortunate that he's 0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.000 been able to be available every every week so far. 0:04:57.160 --> 0:04:59.880 John, we don't know what exactly Trevor's availability is going 0:04:59.920 --> 0:05:01.800 to practice this week, but you have to imagine he'll 0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:04.400 be limited in some respect. Is this going to get 0:05:04.440 --> 0:05:06.400 much better if he's not out there practicing, Well. 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:09.960 I mean, that's I guess that's the only concern I 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.520 would have. If he's practicing during the week, or it 0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:15.440 would practice a little bit, then I have no problem 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:20.440 with gutting it through and then playing. The problem is, 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:23.640 in the last couple of times he has played without practice, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:27.520 it hasn't looked good, and there's been miscommunications. I don't 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.800 know if they're on him, if they're on receivers. My senses. 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.080 Some of the interceptions, they were more on receivers. But 0:05:35.320 --> 0:05:40.040 if that's causing lack of communication in the offense, then 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.839 you do wonder if he doesn't practice at all this week, 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.400 do you again roll him out and start him. I 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.720 probably would because he's still the guy, and I still 0:05:49.760 --> 0:05:51.640 think he gives you the best chance to win. But 0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:54.680 the non practice would give me more pause than I 0:05:54.720 --> 0:05:56.159 have felt on this issue so far. 0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.600 Yeah, he had three turnovers on Sunday, and he didn't 0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:00.920 practice last week with the head, had three turnovers in 0:06:00.960 --> 0:06:03.000 Cleveland the week he did in practice with the ankle. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.800 I mean, you don't have to really extrapolate too far 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:09.560 to realize that Trevor Lee Lawrence needs time to practice. Now, Maibe, 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.000 you're want to look deeper into it. You can say 0:06:12.080 --> 0:06:14.960 that he would be better without practice if as on 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:17.839 that Thursday night in New Orleans, he had Christian Kirk 0:06:17.880 --> 0:06:20.400 and he had Zay Jones, and he had his offensive 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:23.560 line at full strength. That's the trouble is he's out 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:27.440 there throwing to Elijah Cooks, Parker Washington, Tim Jones. The 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:30.000 time he isn't there. The familiarity isn't there. They don't 0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.640 get time on the practice field. So there's I mean, 0:06:32.880 --> 0:06:36.120 it's a huge variable. But John, if you're gonna roll 0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:39.280 him out there coming off a concussion in Tampa, if 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:40.840 he's able to play at all, I don't know why 0:06:40.880 --> 0:06:42.760 you wouldn't put him out there and give him a 0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.240 chance to get you over the hump. And you know, 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.280 the playoff scenarios roll out interesting. You know, if the 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:49.360 Jaguars don't win this weekend, the other two teams do, 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.160 it's really dicey for them to even make the playoffs. 0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.000 So my guess is they're gonna find a way to 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:55.680 get him on the field. 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.640 Our final big thing today is time for a change 0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:02.360 because so obviously it's not just the quarterback that's having issues. 0:07:02.440 --> 0:07:05.880 There's issues everywhere, coaching staff, players, both sides of the ball, 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.440 special teams, and Doug was asked if you know he 0:07:09.560 --> 0:07:12.000 should shake things up a little bit, make a big change, 0:07:12.080 --> 0:07:13.480 start doing the play calling again. 0:07:13.800 --> 0:07:14.640 That's what he had to say. 0:07:16.800 --> 0:07:18.600 We've got to do a better job at taking care 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.960 of the football. It's not about the plays, it's not 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.640 about all that. You know, We've got to tackle better 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:25.520 and we got to take care of the football. Bottom line, 0:07:25.640 --> 0:07:28.360 we do those two things. Those give us a chance 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.360 to win football games. If we don't, then then we're 0:07:31.400 --> 0:07:33.880 gonna be sitting here, you know, talking about this again. 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:39.120 So to me, that's that's the glaring, the glaring differences 0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:41.239 right now between between winning and losing. 0:07:43.120 --> 0:07:45.640 Brian Doug was very emphatic that when things go wrong, 0:07:45.680 --> 0:07:47.760 everybody points to the finger, but he feels like those 0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.520 two things are the main issues for them right now. 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:52.120 To agree with that, yeah, I mean, all you do 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.640 is watch the game on Sunday and you saw those things, 0:07:54.720 --> 0:07:57.840 you know, roll out the week before. They have ten 0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.600 turnovers in these four losses, only five takeaways. And how 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.680 many times on third down and short has there been 0:08:03.720 --> 0:08:06.600 a mistackle been allowed the quarterback or the other team 0:08:06.640 --> 0:08:09.200 to keep his offense on the field and make plays. 0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:09.920 You know. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.360 Look, I can tell you stories about Tom Kaughlin and 0:08:12.440 --> 0:08:15.640 John about Tony Dungeye. The great coaches believed in familiarity. 0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:18.600 They wanted these players to know exactly what they were 0:08:18.640 --> 0:08:21.560 supposed to do. You go shaking things up and changing things, 0:08:22.480 --> 0:08:25.119 little things, fine, big things like who's calling the plays. 0:08:25.200 --> 0:08:26.640 I wouldn't do it at this point of the year. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:29.520 And let's be honest, John, Doug has had a hand 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:32.160 in the play calling from the start of the season. 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:33.959 This has not just been all right, throw it to 0:08:34.000 --> 0:08:36.360 Press Taylor. These two men know each other so well. 0:08:36.679 --> 0:08:40.280 There's such an intricacy between their relationship. This is not 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:42.800 the time where you go, all right, well, I'm gonna 0:08:42.800 --> 0:08:45.240 do it all by myself. You want to keep things 0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:48.480 familiar for this team so that they don't panic because 0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:54.160 major reactions by a coach in process that creates the 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.760 knee jerk feeling like, well, here we go. I guess 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.760 everything's on the table now. You do that kind of 0:08:58.760 --> 0:08:59.720 stuff in the offseason. 0:09:00.559 --> 0:09:04.520 It's always play calling in the NFL. So I'd like 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:09.839 to say, because people love to criticize that, I have 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:15.000 not talked to Doug privately about the difference between between 0:09:15.040 --> 0:09:19.240 him and Press. I think after fifteen games, if he 0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:21.959 thought there was a huge difference, a huge difference in 0:09:22.080 --> 0:09:25.439 quality of play calling, he would have quote taken it back. 0:09:25.480 --> 0:09:27.760 I think he looks at it and says, the offensive 0:09:27.760 --> 0:09:30.360 line isn't run blocking very well. When you don't run block, 0:09:30.400 --> 0:09:32.680 when you don't have the option to run, it limits 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:34.280 you as a play caller, no matter who you are. 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:38.160 And when you look at that fundamental. He didn't say 0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.080 that on Monday or on Tuesday, but if you look 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.520 at that fundamental, if you look at the lack of tackling, 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.439 and if you look at the turnovers, I think if 0:09:45.520 --> 0:09:49.280 those three things were you know, if there're two's, now, 0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.680 if they were sixes, I think you'd be winning games. 0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:52.520 I think that's what he's going. 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:52.920 To focus on. 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:55.840 Well, look, we got the perfect example of why it's 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:59.160 not play calling, and that was the twelve yard laws 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:02.440 on Calvin Ridley reverse. Were Tim Jones, who's in the game, 0:10:03.600 --> 0:10:06.600 blocks or misses a block entirely on Yah Yah Dabby 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.760 the pass rusher who drops Calvin for the big loss? 0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:14.480 Was that Press Taylor that missed that block? No, it wasn't. 0:10:15.280 --> 0:10:17.240 It seems you want to yell at the television and 0:10:17.280 --> 0:10:20.079 say that's a horrible play call. Well not if it worked. 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:22.280 It worked, and they obviously thought it was going to 0:10:22.360 --> 0:10:23.360 based on what they saw. 0:10:23.840 --> 0:10:25.959 The no issues plays that don't work stink bright. 0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:28.800 Yeah, w it's one. They showed it over and over 0:10:28.840 --> 0:10:30.520 and over and you see Tim Jones just with on 0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:33.679 the block. That's execution. That's what Doug is talking about 0:10:33.880 --> 0:10:36.000 when everybody wants to say, why would you call that play? 0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.800 And well, look watch it and see what really happened. 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.200 There was a press Taylor's fall. It was Tim Jones 0:10:42.200 --> 0:10:44.720 who missed the block. Those sorts of things drive you crazy, 0:10:44.960 --> 0:10:47.640 and you can't just react to all the outside noise. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:50.000 They've got to stick with what they know and what 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:51.880 they do and try to do it better. 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:53.880 I will say it might be on the fan side 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.120 with this one because I don't want to see the 0:10:55.280 --> 0:10:57.599 end around reverses anymore either, because I don't think the 0:10:57.679 --> 0:10:59.960 percentage of them, I haven't seen many of them work. 0:11:00.240 --> 0:11:01.760 I see them run it a lot, but I haven't 0:11:01.760 --> 0:11:03.439 seen a lot of it work. So we'll have to 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.800 see if they use that again. Coming up this week 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.160 against the Panthers, we're gonna go over the injury report 0:11:08.520 --> 0:11:09.920 cause we've got a few more names on there and 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:11.599 one name that might be coming back right here in 0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:23.880 jags Am.

Welcome back to Jags am here 0:11:41.440 --> 0:11:44.680 on this Wednesday, so we get ready for the final 0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:46.679 game in December. We're trying to make this not a 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:49.440 winless December, not a winless month. They're own four right now. 0:11:49.520 --> 0:11:51.160 They have one more game that's gonna be against the 0:11:51.200 --> 0:11:55.560 Carolina Panthers this week, and it's looked on the schedule 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.480 like it was gonna be a pretty easy matchup. But 0:11:57.559 --> 0:11:59.160 I don't think any of us thought we were gonna 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:02.120 be at this point where now you don't feel one 0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:04.240 hundred confident going into this game. 0:12:04.400 --> 0:12:06.040 Well, and the injury list is certainly a big part 0:12:06.080 --> 0:12:08.440 of that, but also the fact that the Panthers are 0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.880 playing well. You know, they beat the Falcons two weeks ago, 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:14.120 and last week was arguably Bryce Young's best game as 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:16.760 a pro in that loss, thirty three thirty was the 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:19.240 final to the Green Bay Packers. So you've got a 0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:22.560 team coming down here who's playing with a rookie quarterback 0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.560 and an interim head coach against a team that has 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:28.559 to win to get into the playoffs. Where have we 0:12:28.640 --> 0:12:29.720 heard that scenario before? 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:35.000 Yeah, they're I mean, at this point, the Panthers are 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:37.120 just having fun. You know, they know there's a change 0:12:37.120 --> 0:12:41.040 coming at the end of the season. They're loose. They've 0:12:41.040 --> 0:12:43.760 done a nice job started recovering from the malays of 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:50.440 the first three months, but it's a broken record at 0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:53.240 this point. The storyline is more about what the Jaguars 0:12:53.280 --> 0:12:55.200 are gonna do. Are they going to show up? Frankly, 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:57.840 Sunday was as listless of performance as I've seen out 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.280 of this team, and I don't know how long with 0:13:00.400 --> 0:13:05.120 everything on the line, that really surprised me. So can 0:13:05.200 --> 0:13:08.400 they show up? And Doug Peterson after the game sense 0:13:08.440 --> 0:13:12.959 of urgency That is far more concerned to me than 0:13:13.200 --> 0:13:14.160 anything the Panthers do. 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:15.440 No knocking the Panthers. 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:18.760 I just think it's about how the Jaguars play and frankly, 0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:19.439 do they show. 0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:21.000 Up right, because if they come out with the effort 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.040 we saw on Tampa, that's not gonna be good. Also, 0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.520 we've got to mention we've talked about Trevor's added on 0:13:26.679 --> 0:13:28.480 his fourth injury so far this season, but there's a 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.640 lot of injured players and Daniel Thomas has been added 0:13:31.679 --> 0:13:34.559 to that. He went to IR because of a forearm injury. 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:37.120 Broke his left arm, so he'll be out for the 0:13:37.200 --> 0:13:40.360 foreseeable future. Cam Robinson is going to be activated. He 0:13:40.480 --> 0:13:43.760 was activated Tuesday, so his windows available and Doug Peterson 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:46.840 talked and said, if everything looks good, they're hopefully gonna 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:51.439 get Cammed back this Sunday against Carolina. And something I 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:53.959 was looking at too, is a little bit John. We 0:13:54.040 --> 0:13:57.520 were discussing Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco. They both missed 0:13:57.640 --> 0:14:01.040 time with those soft tissue injuries, and we didn't see 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:01.880 them much in the second half. 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.240 So how hurt are they? And you know, if they 0:14:04.280 --> 0:14:05.480 are needed to play a full game. 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:09.640 Where they can be able to do that, you would 0:14:09.679 --> 0:14:12.880 think not playing a second half on Sunday. Soft tissue 0:14:13.600 --> 0:14:18.720 is something that can be aggravated through fatigue. So, hey, 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:21.480 we're down twenty nothing, We're not playing very well. Nobody 0:14:21.480 --> 0:14:24.080 else showed up anyway, So why have these guys get hurt? 0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:28.280 That feels to me like that At the same time, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.720 they've both dealt with this for a Tyson, it feels 0:14:32.760 --> 0:14:36.520 like all season Cisco the last few weeks. Could they 0:14:36.600 --> 0:14:38.440 make it through a whole game if they're putting strain 0:14:38.560 --> 0:14:42.680 on those soft tissue spots. I don't know that I 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:46.480 would assume they would have played further had the score 0:14:46.640 --> 0:14:48.160 been closer on Sunday. 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:50.920 I don't know that we'll know that getting Cam Robinson 0:14:50.960 --> 0:14:52.960 back would be a huge left right. I mean, what 0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.120 he brings in terms of his personality, you can't deny 0:14:57.160 --> 0:14:59.000 when he got into the line up there, they started 0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.240 playing better football. So you'd like to have him back, 0:15:01.280 --> 0:15:04.880 especially because Walker Little is still struggling with the hamstring injury. 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.240 You know, maybe a week of rehabilitation and time on 0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:12.200 the practice field, you at least I would expect that 0:15:12.320 --> 0:15:13.720 Cisco and Tyson are gonna make it. 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:14.080 Go for it. 0:15:14.160 --> 0:15:17.280 I mean, the way the scenarios roll out, if the 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:20.680 Jaguars don't win on Sunday and both the Texans who 0:15:20.760 --> 0:15:24.600 are playing in Nashville and the Colts, who are hosting 0:15:24.800 --> 0:15:28.760 the Raiders win, you're out right. I mean, the scenario 0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.400 has become very there. There's sixteen things that have to 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.640 happen for the Jaguars, including them winning in Nashville at 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.440 the end of the season, for them to even make 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:38.880 it as a wildcard team. So this is as much 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:41.520 of a must win as they have faced all season long. 0:15:41.840 --> 0:15:44.080 So I would imagine as many guys on that list 0:15:44.120 --> 0:15:47.960 as can strap on whatever brace or tape and try 0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:50.240 and go. We'll go and try and do it. 0:15:50.880 --> 0:15:52.360 All right, Stay well, let's coming back. We'll do a 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.160 little this or that for this week's matchup against the Panthers. 0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:06.760 Shag XAM brought to you by Price dot Com, the 0:16:06.840 --> 0:16:09.440 easiest way to save money with comparison shopping cash bag 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:11.920 coupons all in one.

I mean, you know, our goals 0:16:38.960 --> 0:16:41.400 are still in front of us. Nothing's changed there. But 0:16:42.160 --> 0:16:45.960 somewhere somewhere we've got to you know, uh, we got 0:16:46.080 --> 0:16:49.360 to stop this, you know, damn from from bust. 0:16:49.160 --> 0:16:50.400 And wide open this. 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:54.080 Door. 0:16:54.240 --> 0:16:57.240 That crisis mode, according to Doug whatever you wanna call it. 0:16:57.400 --> 0:17:00.200 But is it panic mode? Is it crisis mode? Or 0:17:00.240 --> 0:17:02.200 do you just need to beat the panthers? Is that 0:17:02.400 --> 0:17:05.200 as simple as this is? Or will that fix things? 0:17:05.320 --> 0:17:06.480 Or is it time to panic right now? 0:17:06.560 --> 0:17:08.680 Brand Well, it's never time to panic. I mean, that 0:17:08.720 --> 0:17:10.840 doesn't do anybody any good. But I do like the 0:17:10.880 --> 0:17:14.000 word desperation, and I use that word because that was 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:17.840 what the folks in San Francisco were describing when the 0:17:17.960 --> 0:17:22.600 Niners came east and just beat the Jaguars handling. They 0:17:22.680 --> 0:17:24.760 had lost three in a row. It looked like they 0:17:24.800 --> 0:17:27.119 were sliding out of the playoff picture in the NFC 0:17:27.640 --> 0:17:30.200 and they needed something to turn their season around. So 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:32.800 they came in here, played with an edge, played with 0:17:32.920 --> 0:17:36.920 sense of urgency, desperation, whatever it is. There needs to 0:17:37.000 --> 0:17:39.359 be a heightened awareness of what's at stake, and that 0:17:39.560 --> 0:17:42.880 is lose and you're likely not going to make the playoffs. 0:17:42.920 --> 0:17:44.879 And for a team it was eight and three and 0:17:44.960 --> 0:17:47.840 had a chance to compete for home field advantage throughout 0:17:47.880 --> 0:17:51.159 the playoffs, to just skid out of it entirely, well, 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:54.600 that calls for desperation, right not panic, but it calls 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.879 for having you back against the wall and to come 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:59.040 out swing. That's just the way I see it. 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:08.080 Yeah, maybe the Panthers doesn't fix everything, but winning certainly 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:10.760 enables you to come out of the season with a 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:15.119 better feeling. This team hasn't won back to back division 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:21.240 titles in twenty four years, so you get a chance 0:18:21.320 --> 0:18:25.200 to make history. And once the season's over, if you 0:18:25.280 --> 0:18:27.320 get these last two you finished ten and seven, you 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:30.800 if you're well on the playoffs, then all of a sudden, 0:18:30.880 --> 0:18:35.120 you're a tough team that overcame this late season obstacle. 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:36.439 You can still change your narrative. 0:18:38.040 --> 0:18:40.359 I guess. I guess I'd like to see. 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.520 I don't care much about desperation or anything like that. 0:18:43.880 --> 0:18:45.120 I'd like to see some maturity. 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:49.520 I mean, you know, I thought this team for twelve 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:55.360 weeks was a scrappy team that played well, played maturely, 0:18:55.800 --> 0:18:57.640 made big plays at the end of games to win. 0:18:58.160 --> 0:19:01.159 I thought that defined them, and they haven't been. You know, 0:19:02.119 --> 0:19:04.520 I don't think the first three games this losing streak 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:08.960 were just sayly a tragedy. You lost to Cincinnati, Cleveland. 0:19:08.960 --> 0:19:12.400 They're good. The Ravens are really good. All of those 0:19:12.640 --> 0:19:16.119 you could sort of get. Sunday, they didn't look like 0:19:16.160 --> 0:19:19.040 a mature team, and I thought they were. I would 0:19:19.280 --> 0:19:22.000 like them to prove me wrong or right or whatever, 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:25.040 but show me that they're mature again on Sunday. They 0:19:25.080 --> 0:19:26.040 didn't look it on Sunday. 0:19:26.520 --> 0:19:27.000 That was tough. 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:29.360 Whenever it's an effort thing, right, you want to see 0:19:29.520 --> 0:19:31.240 you want to assume they're past that. At this point, 0:19:31.280 --> 0:19:33.359 I think maybe the only other time I really remember is, 0:19:33.480 --> 0:19:35.160 you know, when they're in that Texans game where everything 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:37.800 went wrong in the first quarter and a half and 0:19:37.880 --> 0:19:40.160 then it was like they kind of just wrote it off. 0:19:40.200 --> 0:19:41.520 And that's kind of what Tempa looked like. 0:19:41.560 --> 0:19:42.840 It looks like they got hit in the mouth right 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:46.200
