On Sunday, Lucas Oil Stadium, 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,520 Speaker 1: the Colts and Jaguars have their second meeting of the season. 8 00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,320 Speaker 1: The first matchup came less than a month ago in Jacksonville. 9 00:00:27,320 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: The Jags the few of the Colts twenty four nothing 10 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: in Jacksonville to help get us caught up on the 11 00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: Jags prior to Sunday. For this matchup, we are joined 12 00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:36,280 Speaker 1: by Demetrius Harvey, who covers the Jags for the Florida 13 00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: Times Union. Demetrius, thank you so much for taking the time. 14 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,120 Speaker 1: How are you? I'm doing all right? How about yourself? 15 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: I can't complain here. You know, we're we're all kind 16 00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,440 Speaker 1: of searching for what this season's gonna look like. I 17 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: think through five weeks everybody's kind of up and down. 18 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 1: You aren't really sure what to make of it. I 19 00:00:50,680 --> 00:00:52,960 Speaker 1: want to dive into you know what the meeting looks like. 20 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: From the last time we saw the last two meetings, 21 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:58,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of been up and down for the Colts. 22 00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 1: The Jags have really taken a lot of advantages of 23 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,520 Speaker 1: the Colts. They won twenty four nothing in Jacksonville. What 24 00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,320 Speaker 1: was you know, what was the reason the Jags were 25 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,319 Speaker 1: able to continue to have the Colts number in Jacksonville? Yeah, 26 00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,760 Speaker 1: I think they were just very opportunistic, you know, obviously 27 00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,400 Speaker 1: forcing three turnovers by Matt Ryan, you know, three interceptions, 28 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:20,640 Speaker 1: and then obviously the fumble they didn't recover it, but 29 00:01:20,720 --> 00:01:23,479 Speaker 1: just the opportunistic style of the defense they were able 30 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:26,639 Speaker 1: to get after really early and fast, and then on offense, 31 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,480 Speaker 1: they didn't you know, turn the ball over themselves. They 32 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 1: didn't have any mistakes. Really, they able to manage the 33 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: game very well. It wasn't like it was a fifty 34 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,720 Speaker 1: five to zero blowout, you know, it was a twenty 35 00:01:35,720 --> 00:01:38,360 Speaker 1: four to nothing shutout where it was really clean. You know, 36 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: it was just a game where the Jaguars offense was 37 00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: able to control the ball and the Colts offense just 38 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,120 Speaker 1: wasn't able to keep the ball. And it really just 39 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,400 Speaker 1: came down to that. I felt like the Colts didn't 40 00:01:49,440 --> 00:01:51,320 Speaker 1: run the ball as well as they wanted to or 41 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: as much as they wanted to, and it sort of 42 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 1: dictated where the game went. And uh, and I think 43 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: that that's sort of how that game unfolded. Now, one 44 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,440 Speaker 1: of the things we did see Trevor Lawrence has played 45 00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: kind of his best football against the Colts, but kind 46 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,120 Speaker 1: of against the rest of the league, it's been up 47 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,280 Speaker 1: and down. Now, you cover the Jags, you know, every day, 48 00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:11,280 Speaker 1: so maybe from afar, I've got a different perspective. But 49 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:13,280 Speaker 1: it's also I know, his rookie year with the Urban 50 00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:15,800 Speaker 1: Meyer situation, it's kind of a wash. But when you 51 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 1: look at where Trevor Lawrence is now, where do you 52 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 1: think that growth is? Is it slow to getting to 53 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 1: where he is because he was a first overall pick. 54 00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little bit slow if you look 55 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,400 Speaker 1: at it in that way. But but you're right, you know, 56 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,920 Speaker 1: last year there were just so much turmoil, There were 57 00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 1: so many distractions. I mean, you can't account for a 58 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: lot of the things that he had to go through 59 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,360 Speaker 1: last season. And then plus maybe you look at the 60 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:40,560 Speaker 1: talent that was surrounding him last season, even somewhat this 61 00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:44,399 Speaker 1: season too. It just wasn't as you know, profitable for him. 62 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: You know, it wasn't as easy for him to to 63 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: sort of get off to that you know, quick start 64 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 1: in his career. You know, coming out of Clemson, Uh, 65 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:54,799 Speaker 1: he is a guy who barely ever lost. I think 66 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:56,959 Speaker 1: even in high school he might have lost one or 67 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 1: two games, and Clemson the only lost two games when 68 00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: he started. So, Um, he came in and obviously losing 69 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,240 Speaker 1: fourteen games his first year in the NFL. You know, 70 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: that's a little bit startling for him as a young quarterback. 71 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: I just feel like his development was slowed because of that. 72 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,720 Speaker 1: But you know, going into this year, Uh, he's he's 73 00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: shown flashes. You know. I think that he's excelled at 74 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: getting the ball out of his hands quickly. I think 75 00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: that that's something that Doug Peterson has stressed on him, 76 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:23,799 Speaker 1: and we've seen him have success. You know. Obviously, over 77 00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks, he's had some struggles, but um, 78 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:28,760 Speaker 1: in that Indianapolis game, he had success, and in the 79 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: Charges game the very next week, he had a lot 80 00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: of success. I think I think that one of the 81 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: things that he's able to do well at is sort 82 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,840 Speaker 1: of taking a game and sort of, you know, keeping 83 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,040 Speaker 1: it within that one week and then moving on. I 84 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,000 Speaker 1: think that that's what we've seen week in and week 85 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 1: out from him. Now the matrix. I want to stay 86 00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: with the offense here. Last year, the Jaguars drafted Travis 87 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: eight and, who didn't play last season due to Andrew 88 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: and they drafted him after James Robinson was coming off 89 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: of a thousand yards rushing season in twenty and twenty. Now, 90 00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: if eight and healthy, how is the Jaguars running game 91 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,440 Speaker 1: involved with Robinson and at N. I think that's still 92 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:07,600 Speaker 1: a work in progress. They haven't necessarily found that exact 93 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 1: balance yet. You know, in the Colts game, it was 94 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 1: sort of James Robinson a lot. The same thing kind 95 00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 1: of happened in the in the Chargers game, and then 96 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,559 Speaker 1: they flipped it back over to Etn and then now 97 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, it was sort of perfectly balanced in the 98 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: in the Texans game last week where where they both 99 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,359 Speaker 1: had ten carries. I think that Etn obviously was the 100 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:32,120 Speaker 1: more productive player seventy one yards on the ground. Robinson's 101 00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:35,279 Speaker 1: only able to monster around twenty seven. So it's a 102 00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: situation where I think that they're still trying to figure 103 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: out the exact balance that they want to have the 104 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 1: right personnel when they want to get the guys the ball. 105 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: It's a situation, a situational type of thing where James 106 00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: Robinson's a really good ground and pound guy, whereas you know, 107 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:51,720 Speaker 1: Etn has has the opportunity. He hasn't done it yet, 108 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:54,320 Speaker 1: but he has the opportunity to take the ball, you know, 109 00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,599 Speaker 1: from the twenty to a to an end zone in 110 00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:59,080 Speaker 1: a flash. So, um, I think that right now they're 111 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:00,599 Speaker 1: just still trying to figure out it out. But you 112 00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:02,560 Speaker 1: know they've they've sort of got it rolling, whether they're 113 00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 1: putting the putting the reps throughout the halfs Okay, now 114 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 1: I want to move to the whiteouts this often. There 115 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: was a lot to talk about the contracts of Zay 116 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: Jones and Christian Kirk as of now they are one 117 00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: and two on the team and receptions. What has been 118 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: your early assessment of these two players after five games? Yeah, 119 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:21,760 Speaker 1: you know, Christian Kirk, especially over the first five games 120 00:05:21,760 --> 00:05:25,000 Speaker 1: of the season, looks you know, as advertised. Obviously. Um, 121 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 1: the last game, I think that it was his worst 122 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 1: show in you know, he only had one catch I 123 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:33,799 Speaker 1: think for maybe maybe seven yards. Something like that. So, um, 124 00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:36,479 Speaker 1: you know, Press Taylor came out and said today, you know, 125 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,760 Speaker 1: it's on the coaches who make sure that they have 126 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: a plan to get into ball more. He shouldn't ever 127 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: had only three targets in a game. I think we've 128 00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 1: seen that. You know, over the first five weeks of 129 00:05:44,920 --> 00:05:47,680 Speaker 1: the season, he's had around averaging around I would say, 130 00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 1: seven or eight targets a game. And you know, he's 131 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: he's had all these yards and he's had putting a 132 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 1: touchdown so far, at least, you know, early in the season, 133 00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: Um and day, Jones has has been a guy who, 134 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,200 Speaker 1: while he hasn't necessarily, you know, became a game breaker 135 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: or anything of that major, he's able to sort of 136 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,799 Speaker 1: be that safety net for Trevor Lawrence. Last week again 137 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 1: didn't have his best game. I think that the entire 138 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: offense didn't have their best game. But you know, he's 139 00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 1: been a guy who's been reliable over the middle of 140 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: the field and sort of what you would expect from 141 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,160 Speaker 1: a guy of his contract status and sort of what 142 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: they brought him in to be, which is a solid 143 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 1: number two, maybe number three wide receiver. But so far, 144 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: so good. On Christian Kirk, I think that he's a 145 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 1: guy who has a lot of potential. I think that 146 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 1: him and Trevor great chemistry. We're chatting with Demetrius Harvey 147 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: covers to Jacksonville Jaguars four or four a times Union 148 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: final thing on the offensive side of the ball before 149 00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 1: a flip over the defensive side. A young quarterback's best 150 00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: friend could sometimes be a tied end. And Evan Ingram 151 00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,279 Speaker 1: has stepped in pretty nicely in a new situation in 152 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: Jacksonville after spending his first four years in New York. 153 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: What have you seen from Evan Ingram so far this 154 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 1: year in his Jack's uniform. Yeah, we we haven't seen him. 155 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,159 Speaker 1: We haven't seen him much in terms of the high 156 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: volume targets, but you know, every so often, you know, 157 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,159 Speaker 1: against the Colts he did really well. I think he 158 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 1: had around seven catches against the Texans this this past week, 159 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:10,400 Speaker 1: around six catches. So, you know, he's a guy who 160 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,080 Speaker 1: I think it's very scheme dependent. I think that Duck 161 00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,040 Speaker 1: Peterson does a pretty good job of sort of figuring 162 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:18,840 Speaker 1: out which players are going to get the ball in 163 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: which game depending on the scheme that they're playing. You know, um, 164 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,720 Speaker 1: against a team like the Colts, you know, it's gonna 165 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: be a lot more underneath, it's gonna be a lot 166 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 1: more volume to the tight end position, and we've sort 167 00:07:28,560 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 1: of seen that. I think that that's something that Trevor 168 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,920 Speaker 1: has to get better at. You know, he has to 169 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: be able to take the checkdown, take the take what 170 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: the defense is given him. Um and that's something that 171 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: you know, evany Ramape school will help with. But so 172 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: far he has had any injuries. I think he's had 173 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: around maybe one to two drops this year, and obviously 174 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 1: that's something that's plagued him since he was drafted by 175 00:07:49,680 --> 00:07:52,400 Speaker 1: the Giant. Yeah, for sure. Now flipping over the defensive 176 00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:56,000 Speaker 1: side of the ball, that offensive that defensive line pretty stout, 177 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: starting with a guy like like Josh Allen. He's had 178 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,960 Speaker 1: three sacks in this season, two of them coming in 179 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:03,920 Speaker 1: that first meeting of the Colts. His last two games 180 00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,440 Speaker 1: against the Colts two sacks in both those games. What 181 00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: does Josh Allen do so well that gives the Colts fits? Yeah, 182 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: I think that. I think that he's just, you know, 183 00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: a guy who's who's always going to get after. He's 184 00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,480 Speaker 1: he's one of the few players are not I shouldn't 185 00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: say a few players, but but he's he's one of 186 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: the players that stays after practice and he'll work for 187 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: another extra fifteen twenty minutes. I think that that's something 188 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,320 Speaker 1: that sort of elevated his game. He's able to um 189 00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,559 Speaker 1: use what he knows of techniques that that he learns 190 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: and sort of takes that to the field. And I 191 00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: think that he's just had a really successful time against 192 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,320 Speaker 1: the Colts because you know, sometimes the Colts have injuries. 193 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:40,640 Speaker 1: Sometimes the Colts are sort of battling through through guys 194 00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:44,040 Speaker 1: at that left tackle, at that right tackle position. Um 195 00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: and I really think he's taken advantage of the opportunities 196 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: that that he gets. You know, he's a guy who 197 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:53,000 Speaker 1: came in had Klais Campbell during his rookie season. He 198 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 1: had Unique Gugaquay on the other side of him during 199 00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: his rookie season. So he's learned from some of the 200 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:01,160 Speaker 1: best in the league. And I think that that's something 201 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: that sort of translated throughout his career. Now. Is he 202 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,720 Speaker 1: inconsistent at times? Yep, And I think that that's something 203 00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 1: that that he's going to have to work on this season, 204 00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:11,599 Speaker 1: especially entering his contract year and to maker. So I 205 00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 1: want to talk about the two first round picks of 206 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:18,160 Speaker 1: the Jaguars this year, Trevon Walker and Devon Devin Lloyd. Overall, 207 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: they have had a good start to their rookie season. 208 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:21,959 Speaker 1: How on press have you been with the start of 209 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:25,280 Speaker 1: these two guys in their first season. Well, I'll start 210 00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: with Treyvon, since he was the first overall pick. I 211 00:09:27,240 --> 00:09:30,079 Speaker 1: mean the guy, Um, he came in and and sort 212 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: of looked imposing. You can tell he was ready to 213 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 1: play right away. Now, um, when the season first started, 214 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: you know, obviously he's getting a lot of attention. He 215 00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: had the sack, he was, you know, doing very well. Um, 216 00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,480 Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think that he's following off or anything, 217 00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,680 Speaker 1: but you know, for for defensive ends and for pass 218 00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,600 Speaker 1: rushers and for outside linebackers, it's going to take more 219 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:49,640 Speaker 1: than you know, five games into the season. We're gonna 220 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:51,920 Speaker 1: take more than than than one year, two years to 221 00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:54,800 Speaker 1: actually get rolling. So you can kind of see that 222 00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 1: it's starting to catch up a little bit where he's 223 00:09:57,559 --> 00:10:00,120 Speaker 1: not having as much success as as he might like. 224 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: And you know that frustration sort of boiled over in 225 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: the Texans game. In my opinion, you know, at the 226 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: end of the game, near near the end of the 227 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,920 Speaker 1: game where he got that personal foul penalty on Davis Mills. So, 228 00:10:11,200 --> 00:10:13,240 Speaker 1: you know, he's a guy who who's who's looked the part. 229 00:10:13,320 --> 00:10:14,559 Speaker 1: I think that he has a lot of work to 230 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,920 Speaker 1: do in his pass rush department. But you know, so far, 231 00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: so good. And on Devin Lloyd, you know, he didn't 232 00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:23,600 Speaker 1: really play or practice, you know, throughout training camp because 233 00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: of a hamstring injury. UM. But once he finally was 234 00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:28,840 Speaker 1: able to come back, obviously in that first first week 235 00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: against the Commanders, you could tell he was sort of, 236 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: you know, hesitant a little bit. He was a guy 237 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: who wasn't necessarily UM. You know, he had seen NFL 238 00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: football before I at least played it, you know what 239 00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: I mean. So either the speed of the game, UM, 240 00:10:44,120 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: sort of got him early on in this season so far, 241 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: but over the past four weeks and especially I think 242 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:51,960 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks. UM, you know, he's had 243 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:55,679 Speaker 1: some bumps. But but this this past game against the Texans, UM, 244 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,679 Speaker 1: he looked great. You know, he's a guy who's he's 245 00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:00,520 Speaker 1: been around the ball. He has two interceptions this season. Um. 246 00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: He won the Defensive Rookie of the Month in the 247 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 1: month of September. I think that they really like him. 248 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: They liked well what he brings the table, and I think, 249 00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:08,720 Speaker 1: you know, there's a reason why they trained it up 250 00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,760 Speaker 1: for him. Yeah. Now, staying the defense, Last year, the 251 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:14,960 Speaker 1: Jaguars defense was tied for last and completion percentage, allowing 252 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,200 Speaker 1: six nine percent of the past is completed against them. 253 00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 1: This year they are in the top ten, only allowing 254 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: sixty percent. And your opinion, what has been a difference 255 00:11:22,040 --> 00:11:25,360 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars defense against the past this year. Yeah, 256 00:11:25,440 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: I think a couple of things. You know, they they 257 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: went out and they signed Darius Williams to play in 258 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:31,679 Speaker 1: the slot, and I think that that's worked out well 259 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: for them over the past couple of weeks. I think 260 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,559 Speaker 1: that a guy in Tyson Campbell was drafted, you know, 261 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 1: thirty third overall in last year's draft, you know, has 262 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:41,880 Speaker 1: has improved greatly. He's a guy who who came in 263 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 1: out of Georgia. They didn't really teach the guys to 264 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: turn around in Georgia because they didn't have to. But um, 265 00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: you know that that's something that that he's worked on 266 00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:50,640 Speaker 1: and he's able to sort of translate that into pics 267 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,520 Speaker 1: and and things of that nature. So he's gotten better. Um. 268 00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:55,880 Speaker 1: And then the last guy, Andre Cisco. You know, they 269 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: drafted him in the third round last year. Um, he 270 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,160 Speaker 1: didn't get to get on the field, you know, for 271 00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:04,040 Speaker 1: for reasons. And and finally he was able to go 272 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 1: in the field this year. And I think that he's 273 00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:07,959 Speaker 1: shown that he can be a ballhawk. He can be 274 00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: a guy who can sort of demand a present and 275 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:13,679 Speaker 1: sort of take away a tight end if he needs to. 276 00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,319 Speaker 1: So I think the combination of those three things, I 277 00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 1: think that's why they've they've sort of gotten better than obviously. Um, 278 00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:21,439 Speaker 1: that that front seven. You know, if you're able to 279 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:23,079 Speaker 1: get pressure on the quarterback, you're gonna be able to 280 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,679 Speaker 1: make the quarterback miss throws, you're gonna be able to 281 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,120 Speaker 1: make fumbles happen, interceptions, things of that nature. So just 282 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: a combination of of all that. Now, final thing, Demetrius 283 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: Harview covers the Jags for the Florida Times Union. Both 284 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: teams needing a victory, the Jags looking to sweep the 285 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 1: series against the Colts and avoid a three game losing streak, 286 00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 1: while the Colts they're trying to avoid that season sweep. 287 00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: But it's also crazy to think that if they get 288 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,959 Speaker 1: a win, they'll be back in first place in the Vision. 289 00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 1: What are your expectations for what to expect here in Indianapolis. Yeah, 290 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:56,400 Speaker 1: it's really a week a week to week week. It's 291 00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,440 Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see, you know. I obviously 292 00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:01,960 Speaker 1: expect to come out firing. They're going to be motivated. 293 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:03,959 Speaker 1: I think that this is a team that's going to 294 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:07,079 Speaker 1: look at what they did against Jacksonville in Week two 295 00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:09,839 Speaker 1: and sort of hate them hate themselves for it. You know, 296 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:11,760 Speaker 1: They're they're going to try to come out and and 297 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,600 Speaker 1: be aggretsive. I think the Jaguars coming off with two 298 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:16,959 Speaker 1: bad losses, you know, two losses where I think the 299 00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:18,959 Speaker 1: team as a whole feels like they should have won, 300 00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, so I think that both teams are going 301 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:24,400 Speaker 1: to be motivated. I really do think that the Jaguars 302 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: have the advantage defensively for sure. Offensively, I think that 303 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: this is the week we can see if Trevor Lawrence 304 00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: and the offense is going to take that next step, 305 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: which they haven't been able to do over the past 306 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,920 Speaker 1: couple of games. So ultimately, if I'm making a prediction, 307 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: I'll say the Jaguars win, But it's going to be close. 308 00:13:41,679 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: We'll definitely find out what happens when that game comes 309 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: around here Lucas Oil on Sunday. Great stuff. Demetrius Harvey 310 00:13:47,120 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 1: covers the Jacksonville Jaguars with four Times Union.
