1 00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 1: Welcome to jag Zam. I'm Pedani Stephens, Frian Text, and 2 00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,400 Speaker 1: John Osier with me today on Victory Monday, as a 3 00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,159 Speaker 1: Jaguars sweep the Titans in their series this season and 4 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,960 Speaker 1: they now get their fourth win of the year the 5 00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:30,160 Speaker 1: Jaguars too. So let's talk about our big things today 6 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: after game day on Sunday. 7 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: So who cares this big thing? 8 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,199 Speaker 1: Number one, this is a lost season, there's no postseason potential, 9 00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,000 Speaker 1: but it still means a lot of the player and 10 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,639 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker talked about that after the game. 11 00:00:40,880 --> 00:00:42,520 Speaker 3: All it just goes to show you that the guys 12 00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 3: in this locker room we play. We played a game 13 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,319 Speaker 3: of football for the right reason, obviously, because we love 14 00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 3: game of football, and then. 15 00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 4: We love playing for each other. 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,279 Speaker 3: We don't go to work every day just to come 17 00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 3: out on Sundays and half fast names. We can calm 18 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: to win, you know, that's what we're doing. We just 19 00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,680 Speaker 3: stand together at the connectic unit and continuously going no 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,920 Speaker 3: matter no matter the second plan. 21 00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,200 Speaker 1: Ran I'm sure at this points easy to say, oh, 22 00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,800 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, is this lost season whatever it's affecting 23 00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: draft position, But it does matter a little bit to 24 00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: still see this team, fIF team engaged and wanting to win. 25 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,640 Speaker 5: You know, guy, a third of the roster maybe forty percent. No, 26 00:01:14,720 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 5: they'll be here next year, for sure. Those are guys 27 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,440 Speaker 5: that you're building around. But for the rest of them, 28 00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:20,920 Speaker 5: and a lot of those guys happen to be on 29 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 5: the field now because of injuries and late in the season, 30 00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:27,199 Speaker 5: every play matters, every game matters, and you can't expect 31 00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 5: a team not to go out and fight hard and win. 32 00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,320 Speaker 5: I get that there are some people, and I don't 33 00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 5: think it's the majority of Jaguars fans, but there are 34 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,480 Speaker 5: some people who just want the draft position. But the 35 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,559 Speaker 5: reality of it is is that this team needs to win. 36 00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 5: Young players need to know what it takes to win 37 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,119 Speaker 5: Sunday to Sunday, and Johnny, you have a culture that says, 38 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 5: I want to win everything. You know Tom Coughlin famously 39 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,000 Speaker 5: in twenty seventeens, and I want to win lunch. Well, 40 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:51,240 Speaker 5: the truth of it is is that you want a 41 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,920 Speaker 5: locker room full of guys that want to win everything 42 00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 5: they do. They want to do the best they can 43 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 5: on the practice field, in the meeting room, and on Sunday. 44 00:01:58,520 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 5: That's what I want to see and That's what I 45 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 5: heard from Trayvon Walker. Made me feel good to win. 46 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:03,120 Speaker 5: Plus I hate the Titans. 47 00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, we've reached a point with this draft pick end 48 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 6: of season, when you have a team with struggling discussion 49 00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:17,520 Speaker 6: that we've almost as a sporting of observation, people talked 50 00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 6: something into existence that doesn't exist. Meaning we can all 51 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 6: talk about draft positioning, but we saw it all weekend teams, 52 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 6: the Giants yesterday playing they ruin their draft position, they 53 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,960 Speaker 6: don't care. And there's been a couple of cases Jaguars 54 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 6: in twenty with Trevor Lawrence, where maybe the draft pick 55 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 6: matter to that degree nine times out of ten players 56 00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,560 Speaker 6: and coach. What you're watching on TV does not fit 57 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 6: what you're talking about if you're talking about draft positioning. 58 00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,839 Speaker 4: These guys want to win. They're going to try to win. 59 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,000 Speaker 6: You saw yesterday two teams at the very end where 60 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 6: the Titans trying to lose. I mean they were throwing 61 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 6: the ball trying to get into the end zone. So 62 00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 6: we won't stop talking about it, but we may we'll 63 00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:03,400 Speaker 6: stop talking about it. And yes, Brian, I do believe it. 64 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 6: For the guys who are here this winning and not 65 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 6: always losing, matters very much. 66 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 5: And you know, kai people want to argue about you 67 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,160 Speaker 5: can't carry momentum over I'm not saying that there is momentum, 68 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:17,040 Speaker 5: but you learn something, not necessarily even as a team, 69 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,600 Speaker 5: but as an individual. You don't think Mason Smith has 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,680 Speaker 5: learned something the last couple of weeks with the way 71 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 5: that he has played. You can point to a lot 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 5: of different positions. Brian Thomas Jr. As great as this 73 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 5: rookie season has been for him, listen, he's learning something 74 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:35,200 Speaker 5: every single week. More winning equals greater potential in the 75 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 5: offseason for these guys to be ready for a better 76 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 5: season next year. 77 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 1: All right, Our big thing Number two today is going 78 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: to be down division. Obviously, the Titans and the Jaguars 79 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,840 Speaker 1: representatives of the AFC South, but we didn't see a 80 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: lot of great representation across the league. Nonetheless, they now 81 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,600 Speaker 1: have an opportunity, the Daguars do, to go four and 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:53,080 Speaker 1: two in the division. Doug Peterson talked about being important for. 83 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 7: That these are close games. 84 00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,400 Speaker 8: The plays we made today, we're the ones we weren't 85 00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 8: making in those close games. 86 00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:03,800 Speaker 7: And if it goes the other way, then maybe we 87 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:05,800 Speaker 7: win a few more of those games. And it's a 88 00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 7: different story. 89 00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 8: But you know, I just think that that you know, 90 00:04:12,560 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 8: to finish that way, to finish strong. 91 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 7: You know, it sends a good message to the. 92 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:22,680 Speaker 8: Team that that you can still have a hold I 93 00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:25,479 Speaker 8: think on your division, right if you get it, If 94 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 8: you do that next week, you gotta win the game, obviously, 95 00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 8: but it just shows you that you can, you can, 96 00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 8: you can kind of control it. You control your own destiny, 97 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,240 Speaker 8: right you're in and year out, and and it would 98 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 8: be it'd be a good. 99 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 7: Message to the guys if if you know, if we 100 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,839 Speaker 7: can accomplish that, John. 101 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:43,359 Speaker 1: Things are not great right now with this team, but 102 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: when you look around the division, it seems that this 103 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: could turn around quickly. And I feel like this is 104 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 1: something that we need to focus on and not think, oh. 105 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:51,320 Speaker 2: Woe is me. 106 00:04:51,360 --> 00:04:53,039 Speaker 1: It's a little bit more like we can figure this 107 00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: out at some point. 108 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a really down division. I mean, when you 109 00:04:56,800 --> 00:05:00,839 Speaker 6: have two teams three and twelve going in and you 110 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 6: have the division champion, looks like I could finish nine 111 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,039 Speaker 6: and eight, ten and seven whatever. The Texans feel like 112 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 6: a nine and eight team, and nine and eight has 113 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 6: won in that range last couple of years. It's it's down, 114 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,360 Speaker 6: and there is what we're talking about, which is a 115 00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:18,919 Speaker 6: lot of fans are saying, well, if you can just 116 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,039 Speaker 6: get a little better and get to that nine and 117 00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:25,160 Speaker 6: eight point, I'm all for that, but I think as 118 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:31,280 Speaker 6: a franchise, I hope that whatever is, whatever decisions are 119 00:05:31,279 --> 00:05:35,240 Speaker 6: made this off season is not about just getting. 120 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:37,320 Speaker 4: To the Texans at nine and eight. 121 00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 6: And getting the Texans is fine, but there are some 122 00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,440 Speaker 6: things in terms of offensive defensive line. Don't patch this. 123 00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,840 Speaker 6: Get to where you can be the Bills, not to 124 00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,239 Speaker 6: where you can win. The AFC SA agree. 125 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,719 Speaker 5: However, that being said, when you look at the division, 126 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 5: that's your way to the playoffs, right, you win your 127 00:05:56,839 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 5: division and you have a playoff spot. And so when 128 00:05:59,920 --> 00:06:01,560 Speaker 5: you look at this division, the Jaguars have a chance. 129 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:03,520 Speaker 5: They've already swept the Titans, they have a chance on 130 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 5: Sunday to sweep the Colts, who are a reeling team, 131 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,039 Speaker 5: and then all of a sudden, you measure yourself against 132 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,799 Speaker 5: where the Texans are, and John, I'm with you, don't 133 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 5: just try to get to the Texans, but you know 134 00:06:12,600 --> 00:06:15,240 Speaker 5: they get their doors blown off on Christmas thirty one 135 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 5: to two. To me, that was just as bad as 136 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 5: the Jaguars against the Lions or against the Bills this year. 137 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,279 Speaker 5: It was a pitiful performance on a primetime stage for 138 00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 5: a team at the end of the year that wants 139 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 5: to surge. It's not a good division. Jaguars aren't a 140 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,159 Speaker 5: good team, But I don't think the Texans are that 141 00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,279 Speaker 5: much ahead of the rest of the division. So when 142 00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 5: you look at going with the winning record four and 143 00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 5: two in the division, people will scoff and say, what 144 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 5: does that really mean. It means that you've swept two 145 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:41,679 Speaker 5: of the teams and there's one team that you lost 146 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 5: twenty four to twenty and one team you lost twenty 147 00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 5: three to twenty on the final play of each game. 148 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 5: You have an opportunity to get closer to them. So 149 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 5: winning in the division, I think again into the psyche 150 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:54,480 Speaker 5: of some of these young players who are going to 151 00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 5: be here, into the culture that you're trying to build here. 152 00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:58,279 Speaker 5: I think that's really important. 153 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be players 154 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 1: who made plays. We've talked a ton about just getting 155 00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:05,520 Speaker 1: more playing time for the younger players and giving them 156 00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 1: the opportunity to be in these crucial points of the game, 157 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson talked about some of them coming up big. 158 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 7: At the end, I found a way to win. 159 00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:16,520 Speaker 8: Proud of the guys, just so happy for them and 160 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 8: coaching staff. The way these guys hang together, they stick together, 161 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 8: there's no quit they keep fighting, you know. I keep 162 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:26,920 Speaker 8: telling them, you know, you never know when the plays 163 00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,800 Speaker 8: come in your way, and when it does, just just 164 00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 8: make it. And you saw at the end there Antonio 165 00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160 Speaker 8: Johnson made the play and and you win the game. 166 00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 7: So there's a lot of good efforts in this game. 167 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 8: Defense created a takeaway, you know, offense was was was 168 00:07:39,960 --> 00:07:41,920 Speaker 8: effective and good in the red zone today. 169 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 7: Just a good team, good team win. 170 00:07:46,560 --> 00:07:48,960 Speaker 1: Friend Doug chouted out Antonio Johnson on that last play. 171 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,440 Speaker 1: But there were several young players that had big days yesterday, 172 00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: at least flashes where we hadn't seen a ton of 173 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:55,200 Speaker 1: them earlier in the year, but now they're coming on 174 00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:55,880 Speaker 1: a little bit late. 175 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 5: There were and I'm going to talk about this in 176 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,720 Speaker 5: my hot take, but I do want to go forward 177 00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 5: with the thought on Antonio Johnson, who john has had 178 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,120 Speaker 5: a really tough year. The general manager, Trent Balki told 179 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,160 Speaker 5: me in the preseason when I asked him, what is 180 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:12,760 Speaker 5: Antonio Johnson? I was expecting to hear he's a strong safety, 181 00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 5: he's a free safety, he's a nickel corner, whatever they 182 00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 5: had intended for him as his role, And what I 183 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,679 Speaker 5: heard was he's a damn good football player. Okay, well, 184 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,680 Speaker 5: when you look at him, you can see the traits 185 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 5: of a damn good football player, but we haven't seen 186 00:08:24,600 --> 00:08:28,320 Speaker 5: it on the field until yesterday. When Mason Rudolph dropped 187 00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:31,320 Speaker 5: back to throw, I instantly saw the receiver running past 188 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,360 Speaker 5: Foyer Lucon into the end zone and thought, uh oh, 189 00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 5: here we go again. Here's another opportunity for a team 190 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 5: to beat the Jaguars late. And then here comes Antonio Johnson. 191 00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 5: He learned. He learned something along the way. You'd choose 192 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 5: what game it was. Maybe it was the Eagles game 193 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 5: with his most recent mental miscue, but he stepped in 194 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 5: and he made a huge play. Listen, at some point 195 00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 5: this thing had to start turning. I don't care if 196 00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,080 Speaker 5: the Titans as opposed to the Eagles or the Packers 197 00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:01,000 Speaker 5: or the Vikings. At some point somebody needed to do something, 198 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,079 Speaker 5: and that it was him who hadn't done anything all 199 00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 5: year long. 200 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 4: I like that. 201 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. 202 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,760 Speaker 6: If you ask why these last games matter, it's Jaron 203 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 6: Jones continuing. 204 00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: To work through rookie stuff. 205 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 6: Still see some rookie stuff, but you all of a 206 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 6: sudden see a lot of playmaking stuff, and people probably 207 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 6: know where I'm going with it in the end. Mason Smith, 208 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 6: it's no coincident the Jaguars had three sacks and that 209 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,959 Speaker 6: the pass rush feels better now that he's getting interior pressure. 210 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 6: If he's what he could be, which is a mid 211 00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 6: first round kind of player, meaning that he fell because 212 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:42,240 Speaker 6: of injuries. He hadn't been on the field at LSU 213 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:45,440 Speaker 6: very much, but he's a first round, top ten type talent. 214 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:49,160 Speaker 6: If he's that, then you've got three of them up front, 215 00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,600 Speaker 6: and when you've got three of them up front, you've 216 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,720 Speaker 6: got a chance to apply pressure. And Mason Smith's really 217 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 6: really important for this franchise. 218 00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:57,840 Speaker 2: All right, stay with here on Jack Zam. 219 00:09:57,880 --> 00:09:59,320 Speaker 1: We're gonna come back and look at some of the 220 00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,160 Speaker 1: tape in the highlight to me yesterday's winning. 221 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:05,240 Speaker 4: Jags. 222 00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 1: Fans, you can register your furry friend for the Jaguars 223 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,560 Speaker 1: Official Four Legged Fan Club for Pats presented by Forever 224 00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:12,600 Speaker 1: About Animal Hospital.

We know he's special, but to hear 240 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,280 Speaker 1: some of those names around him are pretty cool. 241 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:49,040 Speaker 5: He said it a couple of times that if they 242 00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 5: were winning, he'd enjoy it more. Sure. Yeah, I mean 243 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 5: he is all about winning first. 244 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:55,280 Speaker 2: Which is great because he's still very talented. 245 00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,400 Speaker 6: Nonetheless, well, what's impressive is Randy Moss set those records 246 00:10:58,400 --> 00:10:59,440 Speaker 6: for a fifteen and one team. 247 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was going and that. 248 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 5: Had Chris Carter and Jake Reid and Robert Smith was 249 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,560 Speaker 5: the NFL's leading rusher. 250 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,840 Speaker 6: And this team is not going and he's still doing it. 251 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,440 Speaker 6: So it's it's uh really very well for the future. 252 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right, let's give some credit where credits due. 253 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: Yesterday we got another win, so let's talk things out. 254 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 2: How about a turnover from the defense? We see this? 255 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 5: It was very nice. 256 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 4: It was very nice, and I didn't know what it 257 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:21,360 Speaker 4: was at first. 258 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,000 Speaker 2: I needed some clarifica well. 259 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,720 Speaker 5: And it was caused by a guy that we've been 260 00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,280 Speaker 5: asking about, Jordan Jefferson, who got in there and tipped 261 00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 5: the ball up and made it difficult for the running 262 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 5: back to pull in, which left it there for Devin Lloyd. 263 00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:34,400 Speaker 2: You see it just floating there. And we've seen a 264 00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 2: couple out there this year. 265 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:36,839 Speaker 1: I know Devin Lloyd missed one, I think it was 266 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: last week, and some other ones floating for he missed 267 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: one a couple of weeks ago, and you're just like, oh, 268 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 1: grab it please, And then what did they do? 269 00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 5: They went down the field and sport a touchdown, which 270 00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 5: we haven't seen from this team. 271 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:51,440 Speaker 6: And Devon has always been a guy where when the 272 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 6: ball is around him, he usually makes a play on it. 273 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,439 Speaker 6: Sometimes he has trouble getting to where. 274 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 4: The ball is going to be. 275 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,720 Speaker 6: But he athletically and instinctively, he is a playmaker and 276 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:06,600 Speaker 6: he made it on Sunday. 277 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 2: Absolutely, Let's talk. 278 00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,640 Speaker 1: A little bit about Brian Thomas Junior, as we always 279 00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:12,040 Speaker 1: do because it's a pretty talented guy. But how about 280 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,680 Speaker 1: him in the run game a little bit on Sunday, 281 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: which was pretty cool. I mean, I know they've tried 282 00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 1: to use him in that role a little bit before, 283 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,320 Speaker 1: but he's just so talented in so many ways. 284 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 5: Well, the one thing that you noticed when he's running 285 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 5: with the ball is his vision. Right. You wonder whether 286 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 5: a guy who normally runs down the field and turns 287 00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 5: to the ball can see the field and to devolved 288 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 5: in front of him. 289 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:31,959 Speaker 4: Well, clearly he can. 290 00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 5: I mean, and then he's so nimble for a tall guy, 291 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,800 Speaker 5: he can change direction pretty effortlessly. That's how you saw 292 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:40,160 Speaker 5: him fight for extra yards. 293 00:12:40,240 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 6: Yeah, he's rare in that. He's unbelievably fast. Obviously, at 294 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:48,280 Speaker 6: some point this year he had like the fastest time, so. 295 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:48,839 Speaker 4: He's got that. 296 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,400 Speaker 6: But he is an instinctive player. And I forget who 297 00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,640 Speaker 6: was talking about this is either Press or Doug early in. 298 00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:56,199 Speaker 4: The season, but. 299 00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 6: He's why sometimes it's tough to scout even the best 300 00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:05,720 Speaker 6: colleges because there was a lot of things at LSU 301 00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:09,080 Speaker 6: that he wasn't asked to do that when he got here, 302 00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,800 Speaker 6: they say can you do this, He's like, yeah, those 303 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 6: never had any So that's why it's sometimes tough because 304 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 6: the college game, as much as people think the SEC 305 00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,600 Speaker 6: translates to the NFL, the college game is not the NFL. 306 00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,120 Speaker 6: So he's an example of a guy that a lot 307 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:30,000 Speaker 6: more in the tank than he could show in college 308 00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,079 Speaker 6: because the differences in the game. 309 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:33,319 Speaker 5: And by the way, not every receiver likes to get 310 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 5: hit like he got hit on the sideline. I know 311 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,559 Speaker 5: we've moved on to Parker Washington in his touchdown and 312 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:39,640 Speaker 5: I want to touch on him, but Thomas is a 313 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,640 Speaker 5: tough guy who's willing to take the hit. I spent 314 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:43,960 Speaker 5: time with Chad Hall last week, who talked about Parker 315 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 5: Washington and Parker's development. Because when you look at a 316 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,120 Speaker 5: five 'ot nine receiver, generally you think, well, it's Christian 317 00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 5: Kirk type. He belongs in the slot inside. They think 318 00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,160 Speaker 5: he's a better outside receiver. He shows you his ability 319 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:00,240 Speaker 5: to go up and get the ball. His hands are 320 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:03,840 Speaker 5: excellent and he's got more pure speed according to Chad 321 00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:07,440 Speaker 5: Hole than people know because he's still learning the offense. 322 00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 5: We talk about finding other receivers to help space things 323 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 5: out to make Brian Thomas Junior even more explosive and efficient. 324 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 5: Don't discount that Parker Washington can evolve into. 325 00:14:17,559 --> 00:14:19,040 Speaker 1: That guy, and we have to give him some credit 326 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 1: for the footwork on that one to get to come 327 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: down by come down to the back band zone like 328 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,000 Speaker 1: that and get both feed in. He said he didn't 329 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: know if he got it in, so he wasn't sure 330 00:14:26,160 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: if he should celebrate or not. 331 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,320 Speaker 6: I'm not sure if he got it in, but they 332 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,320 Speaker 6: called it a touchdown. It was a great play to 333 00:14:31,400 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 6: do it, and I think it was one. It was 334 00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 6: called on the field the touchdown and there was nothing 335 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:39,880 Speaker 6: to return it. But it was an incredible job handing 336 00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:40,440 Speaker 6: to get the foot down. 337 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 5: It was close, but he did get that towed down. 338 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 1: Let's talk a little bit more about Brian tom Shchunior 339 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:46,520 Speaker 1: because why not one of his ridiculous catches on the 340 00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: sideline where we seen him do so many different things 341 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: and just kind of over the shoulder, running out of 342 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,360 Speaker 1: bounds and just it's getting to the point now where 343 00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 1: we've been talking for weeks, Please just throw it his way, 344 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:59,040 Speaker 1: no matter what. And it's like, I don't feel like 345 00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: there's many times where I'm like, oh, they shouldn't have 346 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:02,600 Speaker 1: gone to Brian, because even if it doesn't work out, 347 00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: there's another chance of this play later where it doesn't 348 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:06,880 Speaker 1: work out. It's like, I still feel like, sometimes that's 349 00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: the right play. 350 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,400 Speaker 6: Well, here's what he's doing that's interesting to me and 351 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 6: maybe only interesting to me. When I was covering the Colts, 352 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 6: I covered Marvin Harrison, Reggie Wayne, who I think Marv's 353 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 6: in the Hall of Fame, like Reggie eventually get there. 354 00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:20,640 Speaker 6: You got to the point when you were covering it 355 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 6: that you got numbed to what they were doing because 356 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 6: they did it so often that when they did the spectacular, 357 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 6: you just sort of wrote it down and moved on. 358 00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:32,640 Speaker 6: Brian Thomas Junior is getting to that point where that's 359 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:33,680 Speaker 6: an incredible catch. 360 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised. 361 00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 6: I just wrote it down and moved on, barely mentioned 362 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 6: it in my story. There's been years where that would 363 00:15:42,320 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 6: have been like on the season highlight. So yeah, you 364 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,160 Speaker 6: can't say I disgression about him because he brings everything 365 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:52,640 Speaker 6: to the table, and unlike some receivers in the past, 366 00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,760 Speaker 6: you feel like it's going to ascend and you're not 367 00:15:55,800 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 6: worried about. 368 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:57,000 Speaker 4: It ending well. 369 00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,720 Speaker 5: And so there was a very similar throw later in 370 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:01,880 Speaker 5: this second quarter and Mac missed him, right, I mean, 371 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,120 Speaker 5: and Mack's not the most accurate deep ball passer. He 372 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 5: put it behind him because you can see that if 373 00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 5: he just puts it two feet further up the field, 374 00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,000 Speaker 5: Brian pulls it in again. So to your point, I 375 00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,640 Speaker 5: was expecting Brian to make that catch and was disappointed 376 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,280 Speaker 5: that it sailed on him. We're going to very quickly 377 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,480 Speaker 5: become numb to a guy. He just runs away from people. 378 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 5: I mean, he ran away from the corner in the 379 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 5: slot on his touchdown and the ball that was a 380 00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:26,280 Speaker 5: perfectly placed ball by Mack, but he just reached out 381 00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,120 Speaker 5: and made it, I mean made simple. 382 00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, even the end arounds a lesser athlete, those ends 383 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 6: around a probably aren't called. But b end up with 384 00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:41,600 Speaker 6: a two yard game. He's got instincts the speed to 385 00:16:41,640 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 6: do it. He makes hard things look easy. Most players 386 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,040 Speaker 6: in the NFL make easy things look hard. 387 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,400 Speaker 1: So the Titans came out second half or after a 388 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:53,760 Speaker 1: little bit and kind of tried to make this a 389 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 1: little bit of a game, kind of doing what the 390 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:56,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars do where they don't try to get into it 391 00:16:56,760 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: until a little too late into this game. But they 392 00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: didn't get a touchdown, make things close towards the end. 393 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,159 Speaker 1: And the defense we talked about some of the flashes 394 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 1: from the younger players, but obviously still something they need 395 00:17:07,359 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: to work on. And still with the secondary. I felt 396 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 1: like that still has to be a focus in so offseason, right. 397 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,080 Speaker 4: Yea, perhaps it's a big focus. 398 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,240 Speaker 1: And just this like it feels like every time there's 399 00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: a tight end, it doesn't even need to be like 400 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:20,919 Speaker 1: a Marquee tight end. 401 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 2: They just they always score some sort of ridiculous touchdown 402 00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:24,120 Speaker 2: on a blown play. 403 00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,639 Speaker 6: I haven't talked to anybody, and clearly that's a bust. 404 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:31,439 Speaker 6: Clearly they were all identifying people to cover before the 405 00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:35,639 Speaker 6: play and somebody didn't identify that guy and that guy scored. 406 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,960 Speaker 6: So that's happened way too often, you know. Can you 407 00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 6: fix that with them knowing the defense better? Probably, But 408 00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,200 Speaker 6: it's been every it's been every week. 409 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,480 Speaker 5: Just guessing that foy Lucon was right there in the 410 00:17:48,560 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 5: area and he jumped into a gap and the linebacker 411 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:55,080 Speaker 5: jumped out on him. So that wasn't necessarily a corner 412 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 5: or a safety that was making that miscue. But your 413 00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,639 Speaker 5: point is well taken, Kay, It's just been mental mistakes 414 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:01,199 Speaker 5: all see and long on the back end of the 415 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 5: defense and it's little plays like that that don't have 416 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 5: to happen. 417 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: All right, more BTJ because why not his touchdown on 418 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,720 Speaker 1: the day. Obviously it gets tons of receptions, catches and everything, 419 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:13,480 Speaker 1: but it's always nice to see him in the end zone. 420 00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 2: That's the I think that was what got him. 421 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: Into kind of the record books and the sense with 422 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 1: Randy Moss with so many games where it was sixty 423 00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:22,880 Speaker 1: plus yards and a touchdown in eight. 424 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:26,639 Speaker 2: Games this season. I mean him and Randy Moss, only 425 00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 2: where could ever do that. 426 00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,879 Speaker 6: So well, it's again a play that you know, he 427 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 6: made it look really easy and it's not really easy. 428 00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:41,760 Speaker 5: So there's only four receivers in history that have had 429 00:18:42,320 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 5: eleven hundred yards and ten touchdowns that. Jamar Chase is one, 430 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 5: Randy Moss is another. Yeah, as a rookie, there's one other. 431 00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,000 Speaker 5: I think there's still a lot of back right, So 432 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:52,880 Speaker 5: there's four players that have done that by the way 433 00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 5: it's in sixteen games. He hasn't done it in seventeen 434 00:18:56,600 --> 00:18:58,800 Speaker 5: because they haven't played the seventeenth game yet, So he's 435 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:02,640 Speaker 5: on par It is a jitimate comparison to great receivers. 436 00:19:03,160 --> 00:19:04,120 Speaker 5: He's fantastic. 437 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 1: He sure is. All right, let's give a little credit 438 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,960 Speaker 1: to as much as we do talk about the safety play, 439 00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,159 Speaker 1: Antonio Johnson made the game winning say at the end 440 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: there on fourth down, so Doug Peterson gave him a 441 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:15,920 Speaker 1: shot out, will give him a shout out to. I 442 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,679 Speaker 1: don't know what this means for him next year. I 443 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 1: haven't seen it consistent consistently enough and for me to 444 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:23,280 Speaker 1: say he's gotten better, because I feel like there was 445 00:19:23,320 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: a bunch of other stuff in this game. Maybe he 446 00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: didn't do as well, but in the end we remember 447 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: the final. 448 00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:33,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, where's the point he's going to There are guys 449 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 6: on this roster who, if they're in their final year, 450 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 6: might not be back. But there are a lot of 451 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 6: guys in this roster who aren't their final you're taking 452 00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,200 Speaker 6: me back, Antonio Johnson is going to have a chance 453 00:19:43,240 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 6: to be a big part of this next year. So 454 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 6: he's got to get better at some of the mental stuff. 455 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:50,240 Speaker 6: That he hasn't done. But that's a play, as you 456 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,080 Speaker 6: allude to early Brian, when you make a play like that, 457 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 6: you deserve to be in the mix and now whatever 458 00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:01,200 Speaker 6: happens next year. He's a perfect example of a guy who, hey, 459 00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,000 Speaker 6: if development happens, they're in good shape at a lot 460 00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:05,760 Speaker 6: of spots because there's ability here. 461 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 4: But development has to happen for him. 462 00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,680 Speaker 5: You remember the Jets game, the forty one yard completion 463 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:12,679 Speaker 5: to Devonte Adams who was out on the sideline all 464 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,400 Speaker 5: by himself. It's set up the game when he touch him. 465 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:18,360 Speaker 5: That was Antonio Johnson, right. Well, so when the ball 466 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:20,960 Speaker 5: is going in the direction of the receiver and I 467 00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 5: see Antonio Johnson him and then he goes and he 468 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 5: makes the play, so maybe the light wents on and 469 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,200 Speaker 5: that can happen. We aren't patient in this game anymore. 470 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,040 Speaker 5: We want instant results from young players. Even though he 471 00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 5: was a sixth round pick, probably for a reason. He's 472 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:35,880 Speaker 5: got all the physical traits you could want. He's tall, 473 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,000 Speaker 5: he's long, he's fast, he's strong, you can rush the passer, right, 474 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 5: But it was all mental mistakes for him this year. Okay, well, 475 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 5: part of that's on him, but part of it's on 476 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 5: the defensive coordinator and the staff as well. How could 477 00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 5: they not find a better role for him in some way, 478 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 5: shape or form. Get those two pieces together and at 479 00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:54,439 Speaker 5: the lights which has gone on, then maybe you've got something. 480 00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:56,800 Speaker 1: See what the changes are in the offseason, how they 481 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: utilize him next year.

I know he's going to want to 505 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,520 Speaker 1: try to find a starting job. I'm sure that will 506 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 1: be his goal, but as a backup quarterback and his 507 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,200 Speaker 1: role on this team, I think he's been great. I 508 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:08,679 Speaker 1: think it's great for the offense that you don't have 509 00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:10,280 Speaker 1: to change a ton of stuff. You can still run 510 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 1: your playbook as it is. And I think he's a 511 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 1: personality they need in that room and he brings something 512 00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: out of the team. I know Brian Thomas Junior loves 513 00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,960 Speaker 1: his dad jokes, and I think we all think he's 514 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:21,359 Speaker 1: funny in different ways on and off the field, but 515 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:22,840 Speaker 1: sometimes you need that energy. 516 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 2: He loves football. He may not be. 517 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: Able to make all the plays all the time, but 518 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,080 Speaker 1: he played probably his cleanest game, two touchdowns, no interceptions, 519 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:31,480 Speaker 1: great passer rating I think is one twenty two. So 520 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: for me, that's someone I would want in my locker room. 521 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:35,919 Speaker 1: I don't know if that'll come to be because I'm sure, 522 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,040 Speaker 1: he'll try to find something else, maybe a chance to 523 00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: start somewhere else, But if given me option, I would 524 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: like him here as a backup. 525 00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 4: Yeah. 526 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,200 Speaker 6: I don't know that Mac lifts the play of all 527 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:49,440 Speaker 6: around him the way an elite guy does, but I 528 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 6: don't think he's an elite guy. 529 00:22:50,720 --> 00:22:52,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he's a backup. 530 00:22:54,080 --> 00:22:57,760 Speaker 6: I like him very much. I wish him well. I 531 00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,640 Speaker 6: think he can be a very good backup. If Mac 532 00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:06,040 Speaker 6: Jones is on an eleven and six type team, he 533 00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 6: can win you a couple of games while your starter's out, 534 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,199 Speaker 6: and that's, to me, is what you want from a backup. 535 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 6: He's not going to bring you down, So I'd be 536 00:23:14,760 --> 00:23:17,120 Speaker 6: fine with that. I don't know what. There's so much 537 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,679 Speaker 6: going on with what the decision making process will be 538 00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 6: that I have no way to know if people making 539 00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 6: a decision will want mac Jones, cause I don't know 540 00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 6: who the people making the decisions will be. 541 00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:29,000 Speaker 4: But I'd be fine with that. 542 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 5: Well, I would too, And I think it's going to 543 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 5: depend on how obviously people around the league see them. 544 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 5: All you need is one opportunity. But I don't look 545 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 5: at him and see Sam Darnald, right, I mean, Donald 546 00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,040 Speaker 5: had bounced around to a couple of teams before he 547 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:44,120 Speaker 5: finally Did you see the celebration in Minnesota? Yeah? Yeah, 548 00:23:44,119 --> 00:23:46,600 Speaker 5: And they've got a young quarterback, they probably can't commit 549 00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 5: to him. There's this new trend and John, you've talked 550 00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,960 Speaker 5: about it first about, you know, finding these veteran quarterbacks 551 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,160 Speaker 5: who have an opportunity to reinvent themselves. Well, Mac hasn't 552 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 5: done that. He just hasn't done that this year. So 553 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,760 Speaker 5: I think if I had a choice, would absolutely love 554 00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:02,680 Speaker 5: to have him back because I like the energy he brings. 555 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:03,960 Speaker 5: I think he gets along with a lot of the 556 00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 5: guys in the locker room. Part of it is what's 557 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 5: the quarterback room like with him in it? Right? Do 558 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080 Speaker 5: he and Trevor get along? Do they work well together? 559 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 5: Because you've got to have some of that. But I'd 560 00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:13,880 Speaker 5: really like having back. 561 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:14,480 Speaker 7: Yeah. 562 00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,240 Speaker 6: That said, I would like nothing more than to be 563 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,160 Speaker 6: sitting here in the season in the future and watch 564 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:21,480 Speaker 6: Mac Jones have the kind of moment that Sam Donald 565 00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,680 Speaker 6: di shar good kid, works hard. Hope he does well 566 00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:26,359 Speaker 6: wherever he is. 567 00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 5: Well, it took Donald what the Panthers, the Niners, and 568 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 5: then the Viking, So it took him his fourth team, 569 00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,920 Speaker 5: so maybe maybe he has to go somewhere and marking. 570 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:35,400 Speaker 4: That a little bit more. 571 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,040 Speaker 2: Absolutely, John, what is your hot take for us today? 572 00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 6: My hot take is don't look back. And what I 573 00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:44,280 Speaker 6: mean by that is there's a lot of there's a 574 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 6: lot of people talking people inside the building outside of 575 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,720 Speaker 6: the building. Well, they were close. You went three and 576 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,680 Speaker 6: nine in with these one score games. What could have been? 577 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,760 Speaker 6: I get that they lost one score games. At the 578 00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 6: end of this season, I don't necessarily feel like this 579 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 6: team was close to being a great team. So what 580 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,120 Speaker 6: I hope is that who's making the decision, be it Doug, Trent, whatever, 581 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:13,879 Speaker 6: don't look at this as, oh boy, we were so close. 582 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 6: Let's do a few things and get over that hump. 583 00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 6: Let's look at what we need to do to get 584 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 6: to a level of excellence where you're not worrying as 585 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 6: much about the one score games. 586 00:25:25,359 --> 00:25:26,919 Speaker 4: I get there these one score games. 587 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 6: But there's one score games that created different ways in 588 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:33,840 Speaker 6: this league. I don't want this franchise at the end 589 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,640 Speaker 6: of the year to be making personnel decisions based on, yeah, 590 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 6: we were that close to being pretty good. I think 591 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:45,000 Speaker 6: they need to look long term and get over that hump. 592 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,320 Speaker 6: And that's just sort of how I see it. 593 00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:47,560 Speaker 2: Listen. 594 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,679 Speaker 5: I don't think you can look John at the secondary 595 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,920 Speaker 5: and think we can fix this, right. I mean, there 596 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,040 Speaker 5: are some pieces that you may be able to play with, 597 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 5: and maybe it's a schematic thing. But I also I 598 00:25:56,560 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 5: look and I see some deficiencies there too. You can't 599 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:03,080 Speaker 5: go forward with the defense in the way that it is. 600 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 5: I mean, it's the worst defense in the league. It's 601 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 5: given up big plays on an epic scale. You can't 602 00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 5: you can't say, well, we can fix it by just 603 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 5: bringing in a linebacker or another pass rusher. I just 604 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:16,680 Speaker 5: don't see that as a possibility either. 605 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,720 Speaker 2: Certainly not a quick fix. I think it's any part. 606 00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 5: But it's not a rebuild either, right, No, it's a retooling, 607 00:26:24,600 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 5: and it's not just a simple little fix. You've really 608 00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:29,720 Speaker 5: got to be honest with yourself and say where did 609 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,760 Speaker 5: we get this thing wrong? And how do we take 610 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 5: the good pieces that we have. But it's not a 611 00:26:33,800 --> 00:26:34,560 Speaker 5: complete rebuild. 612 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:35,239 Speaker 2: Talk a lot. 613 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,879 Speaker 1: Don't try to patch it necessarily, Just take what is 614 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,800 Speaker 1: working and then fix the other stuff. 615 00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 2: Whatever that's going to take, all right, Brian. 616 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,879 Speaker 5: Mine involves a little bit of looking back in that 617 00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 5: it's just forget free agency, right. I mean it worked 618 00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:49,439 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty two when you brought in Evan Ingram 619 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 5: and Christian Kirk and you did some really good things. 620 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,120 Speaker 5: But last year's free agency class, I mean what Eric 621 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,040 Speaker 5: Armstead Ronald Darby gave Davis, I mean it just it 622 00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 5: hasn't worked. Mitch Morse has given you an upgrade in 623 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:06,399 Speaker 5: that category. When I watched Jordan Jefferson yesterday, I just 624 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,960 Speaker 5: why have we not seen him on the field. I'm 625 00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 5: not saying that he played this epic game, but he 626 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:14,919 Speaker 5: took the pass that gave you your first takeaway in 627 00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 5: five weeks. He was disruptive in the middle. He and 628 00:27:18,040 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 5: Mason Smith are two young players that need to be 629 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:23,680 Speaker 5: on the field this Sunday against the Colts, and they 630 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,399 Speaker 5: need to be on the field throughout the offseason. You 631 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:30,439 Speaker 5: drafted these guys because you know what it looks like. 632 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:32,960 Speaker 5: Now you need to get them there. I want to 633 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,160 Speaker 5: see some of these young players on the field as 634 00:27:36,240 --> 00:27:39,800 Speaker 5: much as possible, and I don't want to think the 635 00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,840 Speaker 5: free agency is how you build a team, and the 636 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 5: Jaguars have done that. John forty years, the owner has 637 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,240 Speaker 5: spent more money in free agency than any other team, 638 00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:50,679 Speaker 5: epic amounts of money, and at times it has worked, 639 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 5: but it is not a way to build a team. 640 00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 5: And when I watched Jordan Jefferson on the field just today, 641 00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,159 Speaker 5: all I can think of is why hasn't he been active? 642 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:57,640 Speaker 2: Why? 643 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 5: Because Jeremiah Ledbetter, who's a fine player, right, but he's 644 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:04,280 Speaker 5: a free agent. He's gonna go somewhere else at some point. 645 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,359 Speaker 5: I want to build on some blocks, some pieces of 646 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,640 Speaker 5: granite that I can call my foundation. And I would 647 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:12,919 Speaker 5: rather have that be Jordan Jefferson and Mason Smith than 648 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,199 Speaker 5: Jeremiah Ledbetter or someone else that you're gonna pull in. 649 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 5: Is a mid level guy, draft develop, trust your evaluations, 650 00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:20,800 Speaker 5: and let him play. 651 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,359 Speaker 4: I want to be bored in March. Yeah, me too, 652 00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:24,120 Speaker 4: be nice. 653 00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 2: Here's hoping? 654 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, stay with let's we'll tell you what 655 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,399 Speaker 1: we've got coming up the final week of the regular season. 656 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 2: Jag chance. 657 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: If you want customized Jaguars furniture for your home, check 658 00:28:35,440 --> 00:28:37,639 Speaker 1: out zip her dot com to browse all the customizable options. 659 00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:39,479 Speaker 1: Zip Chair is furniture for fans. 660 00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 7: Hey, congratulations, man.

But big picture, a lot of stuff has 692 00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 6: get fixed just credit. 693 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,240 Speaker 5: I mean, Doug talked in there about keeping everybody focused 694 00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,240 Speaker 5: and keeping them on track through this five game stretch 695 00:30:07,280 --> 00:30:08,880 Speaker 5: where it would have been easy just to sort of 696 00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:12,160 Speaker 5: shut it down. You heard Sauce Gardner perhaps last night 697 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:13,920 Speaker 5: in the Jets locker room talking about how guys had 698 00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,760 Speaker 5: shut it down, and you haven't heard that in this 699 00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 5: locker room. 700 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 4: I don't. 701 00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,240 Speaker 5: It's no consolation. I'm not offering it as that, other 702 00:30:19,280 --> 00:30:20,480 Speaker 5: than to say that you had a lot of young 703 00:30:20,520 --> 00:30:22,280 Speaker 5: guys out there who were fighting and playing hard in 704 00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:23,160 Speaker 5: that matters. 705 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 6: And to sort of pull back on what I said, 706 00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 6: that absolutely matters very much as impressive because you see 707 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 6: teams mail it in and you cannot interpret this season 708 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:36,800 Speaker 6: as these players mailed it in. 709 00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:38,560 Speaker 5: And Doug stood in front of the media week after 710 00:30:38,600 --> 00:30:41,000 Speaker 5: week and said it's on me. When he was asked 711 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 5: about how do you get this done? He said, that's 712 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 5: my job. And so when I watched that video last night, 713 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,280 Speaker 5: I thought, congratulations. I mean You've done your job in 714 00:30:49,400 --> 00:30:51,360 Speaker 5: keeping this team playing. Won all the games that you 715 00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,480 Speaker 5: wanted to win, but you kept them playing and that 716 00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 5: speaks well of him. 717 00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 1: Wait till then, we've seen a lot of teams that 718 00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:58,680 Speaker 1: have not been doing that.
