1 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: Welcome to JAGXAM on this Thursday, and honestly evens Brian 2 00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:21,319 Speaker 1: Sexton John Osier with you as the Jaguars prepared to 3 00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:24,319 Speaker 1: take on the Texans, a big divisional matchup coming up 4 00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,040 Speaker 1: on Sundays, and we're gonna talk all about that in today's episode. 5 00:00:27,080 --> 00:00:28,720 Speaker 1: Let's start out with our Big Things today, brought to 6 00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:32,720 Speaker 1: you by GEH Government Employees Health Association benefits for federal 7 00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:35,239 Speaker 1: employees and retirees. So Big Thing number one is the 8 00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,880 Speaker 1: new target Jacobe Myers, acquired at the trade deadline, has 9 00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,680 Speaker 1: now practiced one practice in the Jaguars so far. Imagine 10 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:44,279 Speaker 1: he'll be playing the Sunday as well against the Texans, 11 00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,720 Speaker 1: and he's very sure handed that something that GM James 12 00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,879 Speaker 1: Gladstone said is his superpower. Jacoby Myers hoping he can 13 00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:52,560 Speaker 1: be a reliable target for Trevor Lawrence. 14 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,200 Speaker 2: I appreciate it, I mean, even if knowing that though 15 00:00:56,680 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 2: that's been an issue. Seeing them guys work after practice, 16 00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,800 Speaker 2: work during practice has serious. They take it. It's ball 17 00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:05,040 Speaker 2: drills all over, So that's testament to them. Honestly like 18 00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,480 Speaker 2: they working on it. They getting better every day and 19 00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,800 Speaker 2: I respect that. So hopefully I could come in and 20 00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:12,160 Speaker 2: do my part, and I'll add to the problem. 21 00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:13,039 Speaker 3: Brian. 22 00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 1: We all know drops been a bit of an issue 23 00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:18,039 Speaker 1: for the past few games, maybe the whole season, probably 24 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 1: a little bit. It's nice to have someone surehanden coming 25 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:23,120 Speaker 1: in here that I think can be a reliable person 26 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:24,039 Speaker 1: for Trebor to and give the. 27 00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:26,080 Speaker 4: Ball to listen And I, like most people watched him 28 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 4: throughout the practice yesterday and didn't see a ball hit 29 00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,240 Speaker 4: the ground, which obviously would boost James Gladstone's comments about him. 30 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 4: I also heard from someone who would know yesterday that 31 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,800 Speaker 4: he was outstanding from the moment that he walked into 32 00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,320 Speaker 4: the walkthrough having just arrived. A sharp guy. It's important 33 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 4: to him to be prepared, it's important to him to 34 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:46,880 Speaker 4: play his best. And winning was another theme from him 35 00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 4: yesterday that I'd like to hear. He wants to win 36 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 4: football games. John. That certainly helps you when the ball's 37 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 4: coming at you, you know you got to catch it 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:54,520 Speaker 4: to win. 39 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 5: Yeah, And he's a pro, And in listening to him 40 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 5: talk to the media, it's clear he'll fit into this 41 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:03,800 Speaker 5: locker room quickly. He kind of joked that they had 42 00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,320 Speaker 5: just played last week and there was a lot of 43 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,360 Speaker 5: trash talking going on between him and I think Jordan 44 00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:14,760 Speaker 5: Lewis said later or it was a newsom said later, Yeah, 45 00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:17,959 Speaker 5: I get into him with a little bit. Aj Antonio 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600 Speaker 5: Johnson did. They were kind of laughing about it, and 47 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 5: you know, he said it got kind of bad, but 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you're here and it's fun. So 49 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 5: he'll fit in. He's going to be a reliable receiver 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 5: on the field, which is more important. And you know, 51 00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:38,240 Speaker 5: I am very curious to see how much Trevor starts 52 00:02:38,320 --> 00:02:40,519 Speaker 5: leaning on him quickly. I think this is going to 53 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,200 Speaker 5: be a guy who fits and who makes sense. It 54 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 5: makes his team better. 55 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: I think it'll be a quick pickup as well. Let's 56 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,160 Speaker 1: go to our second big thing today, which is a 57 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,200 Speaker 1: backup issue, and that's because he just Droud is not 58 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,840 Speaker 1: gonna be playing in this game. It's going to be 59 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:56,040 Speaker 1: Davis Mills that is the starter for the Texans this week. 60 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 1: John Unfortunately, sometimes when it's the backup, the Jaguar seemed 61 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: to have a tougher pro. I know David s Mills 62 00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 1: has beaten the Jaguars before. What's the what is it 63 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,240 Speaker 1: going to look like this weekend with David Smills's quarterback from. 64 00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,040 Speaker 5: I've hating that question a lot the other than this week. 65 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:12,720 Speaker 5: You know, why can't the Jaguars beat a backup quarterback? 66 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,959 Speaker 5: And I always go back to, well, they haven't meetn 67 00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 5: a lot of people in the last fifteen years, so 68 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 5: everybody tries to tie that in. They struggle against everybody, 69 00:03:21,320 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 5: so I don't think they have up toil your probably 70 00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 5: gainst backups. I think with Davis Mills, he's he's a 71 00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 5: very good passer. You have to pressure him. I think 72 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 5: the key Brian is going to be they have to 73 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 5: stop the run and make them one dimensional. I think 74 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 5: considering the Jaguars safeties and secondary right now, the health 75 00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 5: Davis Mills is going to get his I think the 76 00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,680 Speaker 5: key is pressuring him and making him make a few mistakes, 77 00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:46,600 Speaker 5: get up, and then I think you get the game. 78 00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 4: You know, when I see Davis Mills on the field, John, 79 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,000 Speaker 4: I remember his win against the Jaguars back in twenty 80 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 4: twenty one. It was the second to last game I 81 00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: believe of the Urban mier Nobody beat the Jaguars that year. Yeah, 82 00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 4: five wins, one of them is against this team. And 83 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,360 Speaker 4: yesterday the head coach talked about his arm strength, about 84 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 4: his presence. He's a big guy, he can move on 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: the run, and he's got excellent targets around him. I mean, 86 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,520 Speaker 4: Nico Collins is going to help him. He's going to 87 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:13,200 Speaker 4: get open, so to is Dalton Schultz, who's an excellent 88 00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 4: tight end, kind of shifting and finding his way to 89 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,600 Speaker 4: the first down marker. You said it earlier, Cody, you 90 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 4: gotta stop the run so that you can attack. This 91 00:04:22,760 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: offensive line has not been good all year, and two 92 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: of their starters are in the injury report this week. 93 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 4: It would seem to be the perfect game for the 94 00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 4: Jaguars defensive line, John to get a little bit of 95 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 4: traction and get after the quarterback like we haven't seen. 96 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 4: They have a league low ten sacks. I don't know 97 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:42,440 Speaker 4: that they climbed at twenty ninth this week, but perhaps 98 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,359 Speaker 4: they can get out of the basement here with a 99 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 4: couple of pressures against Davis Mills. 100 00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:49,080 Speaker 5: I hope so. 101 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: I mean, Carlin was pretty honest yesterday. He said they 102 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 1: have to just be better about getting to the quarterback. 103 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,360 Speaker 1: So hopefully that starts this week. Our final big thing 104 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: is going to be keeping it simple, keeping it along 105 00:04:57,600 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 1: those lines. We saw some success on the offense every 106 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,920 Speaker 1: but he started going down. There's a lot of injuries. 107 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,520 Speaker 1: They simplified the offense a little bit, and Trevor Lawrence 108 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,360 Speaker 1: talked about the success they saw on the second half 109 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: and overtime against the Raiders. 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,159 Speaker 3: There were some more simple calls. I guess throughout the 111 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,320 Speaker 3: plants scattered in and I think that might have helped 112 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 3: us just get going and keep us on track. And 113 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 3: I also think the things in the second half that 114 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:22,440 Speaker 3: hurt us in the first half, the penalties and some 115 00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 3: of the motion things, we just sharpened up all those 116 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,200 Speaker 3: and kind of obviously were sloppy in the first half, 117 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,200 Speaker 3: so we were sharper and didn't hurt ourselves, so we 118 00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,640 Speaker 3: were able to stay on schedule. But it's a cool 119 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 3: feeling when you can run the ball that many times, 120 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: and obviously you are expecting to throw it eventually as 121 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 3: a quarterback, and then you just keep running and keep 122 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 3: getting positive yard So I don't care. I mean to 123 00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,120 Speaker 3: keep running it if they can't stop it. So it 124 00:05:42,560 --> 00:05:43,159 Speaker 3: was pretty cool. 125 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,799 Speaker 1: Well, Trevor doesn't care, Brian, so I think we should 126 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:48,200 Speaker 1: run it too, because this team is most successful when 127 00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 1: they run the football. Well, I think what eight run 128 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: plays in a row or something like that in overtime, 129 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:54,960 Speaker 1: and they need to be able to do that against 130 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 1: the Texas. 131 00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 4: Listen, it's caveman football, but I love it, especially right 132 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 4: now with so many important players on offense out of 133 00:06:03,160 --> 00:06:06,080 Speaker 4: the equation and against the defense that's number one in 134 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,080 Speaker 4: the league, and they can really bring it off the 135 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 4: edge with Will Anderson and Denil Hunter. The ability to 136 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,240 Speaker 4: run the ball on Sunday is so pivotal. But one 137 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,040 Speaker 4: thing I heard in there, and we talk about keeping 138 00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,800 Speaker 4: it simple, that's not what Liam Cohen's offense is. I mean, 139 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:22,080 Speaker 4: Liam Cohen has had success as an offensive coordinator and 140 00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,520 Speaker 4: now as a head coach because his offense is complex 141 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 4: and so eventually, and you heard Trevor Lawrence in that 142 00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,359 Speaker 4: sound bite talk about sharpening things up. Eventually, it's going 143 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 4: to be on the players done to sharpen things up 144 00:06:33,720 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 4: and not to make the silly, sloppy mistakes like they 145 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 4: did five times in the game against the Raiders. But 146 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,960 Speaker 4: on Sunday against the Texans, Sure, keep it simple if 147 00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:42,679 Speaker 4: that's what it takes. 148 00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,280 Speaker 5: Yeah, at some point they're going to find the balance 149 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 5: of simple and Liam Cohen's offense. I think specific to 150 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 5: Sunday The key to remember is it's everybody says run 151 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 5: and you have to run and now to get too 152 00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 5: far into the weeds. The key for this team to 153 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,440 Speaker 5: run is you have to be balanced enough early, stay 154 00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,200 Speaker 5: in the game. I don't think this is a team 155 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 5: that can come out and run the first ten plays 156 00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 5: of the game and dominate teams. They have to stay 157 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,239 Speaker 5: in the game and get to the third and fourth quarter. 158 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 5: They've been good at wearing teams down. They wore the 159 00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:16,680 Speaker 5: Raiders down. Stay in the game, have the lead, and 160 00:07:16,720 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 5: then I think you can dominate the run. Even against 161 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,160 Speaker 5: the Texans, who they ran well against in the second half. 162 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 5: I think you can get the run going if you 163 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,480 Speaker 5: stick with it, keeping it close. 164 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: Say listen, Jagsam, I'm coming up after the break. I'll 165 00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 1: check in with one of the Houston Beat reporters to 166 00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: learn more about the Texans.

Since 171 00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans this week so we're checking with Jonathan 172 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: Alexander from the Houston Chronicle. Jonathan, thanks for joining us. 173 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:55,080 Speaker 1: I know we've played already this year, but it feels 174 00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,360 Speaker 1: like a lot has changed since Week three. 175 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 6: Yeah. Absolutely, number one for the Texans, they lost c J. 176 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 6: Stroud to a concussion just last Sunday and it's probably 177 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 6: likely that he won't play. Their defense continues to play well. 178 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,880 Speaker 6: Their offense gained a little rhythm, but they're very inconsistent, 179 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 6: so it'll be interesting to see which team goes out 180 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:18,640 Speaker 6: there on Sunday. 181 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: For them, so CJ. Stroud in concussion protocol, we don't 182 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 1: know what that'll look like. But Davis Mills is the backup. 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: We saw him a little bit against the Broncos. It 184 00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: felt like the offense was kind of finally getting going 185 00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: before CJ went out. You know, the past couple of weeks. 186 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: What do you expect to kind of see from the 187 00:08:32,720 --> 00:08:34,679 Speaker 1: offense if it is Davis Mills this week? 188 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:37,560 Speaker 6: Yeah, there'd be a lot difficult and it'll probably look 189 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:41,960 Speaker 6: a little bit different, you know, Like you mentioned, you know, 190 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,800 Speaker 6: I thought that offense was really coming along even against 191 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 6: the Broncos early in that game. You know, they had 192 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:48,599 Speaker 6: a great game against the forty nine ers and it 193 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,560 Speaker 6: started to carry over. I think you'll probably see an 194 00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,880 Speaker 6: emphasis on the running game a little bit more, try 195 00:08:54,920 --> 00:08:58,439 Speaker 6: to open up things for Davis Mills. Davis Mills will 196 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,760 Speaker 6: probably do a lot of short passes until things open 197 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,000 Speaker 6: up deep down field, and that's the whole. I do 198 00:09:05,040 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 6: think Davis Mills, though, will be a little bit better 199 00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:10,320 Speaker 6: prepared having no week to prepare rather than kind of 200 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,120 Speaker 6: coming in. They don't give him a lot of plays 201 00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,360 Speaker 6: when he's not starting, and now the focus will be 202 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,439 Speaker 6: on him, and I think he'll be a little bit 203 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 6: better prepared. 204 00:09:18,040 --> 00:09:18,199 Speaker 1: Now. 205 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 6: Whether that turns into a big three for the Texans, 206 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,120 Speaker 6: you know, we don't know. It depends on how much 207 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 6: that Jaguars defense is hunting. 208 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:30,559 Speaker 1: For the Jaguars defense, a lot of it was takeaways. 209 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: Earlier in the season. They haven't had as many, But 210 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,720 Speaker 1: it feels like the Texans defense has always been so 211 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,760 Speaker 1: dominant and they've continued that going forward. How have they 212 00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:42,200 Speaker 1: been able to kind of maintain that success even with 213 00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: the offense not being so good until maybe recently. 214 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think early on they didn't really have a 215 00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:52,480 Speaker 6: lot of takeovers, but takeaways, I'm sorry but recently they've 216 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,920 Speaker 6: started to have an uptake in that I think their 217 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,160 Speaker 6: secondary is playing a lot better. 218 00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: You know. 219 00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,920 Speaker 6: I think it was before the or right after the 220 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 6: Jaguars game. They ended up cutting CJ. Gardner Johnson, and 221 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,679 Speaker 6: I believe that helped out with the communication. Garner Johnson 222 00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 6: was the new piece on that defense, and now they've 223 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 6: gotten guys who are a little bit more familiar, who 224 00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 6: have played with each other for a number of years now, 225 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 6: and the defensive line Will Ampson Junior and Daniel Hunter 226 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 6: are having good games now. I think the biggest thing, though, 227 00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:27,640 Speaker 6: is that Texans have started to stop the run a 228 00:10:27,679 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 6: lot better than they had early in the season, and 229 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 6: I think that's continued to help them to flourish. 230 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:35,760 Speaker 1: What's the mentality of the team right now? Obviously I 231 00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:38,360 Speaker 1: know CJ's hurt, but three and five obviously not where 232 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 1: they want to be. But going in, the Jaguars feel 233 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:41,880 Speaker 1: like this is a huge game for them. I have 234 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,679 Speaker 1: to imagine the Texans are feeling similarly. 235 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, obviously a lot of guys are upset 236 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:50,160 Speaker 6: that they lost that first match up to their division rival, 237 00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,080 Speaker 6: the Jaguars. They want to win. They're a very close team. 238 00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 6: You know, I don't think we'll see them give up 239 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 6: on the season or anything like that. And the defense 240 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:05,000 Speaker 6: pretty much knows that they're the top defense in the 241 00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,960 Speaker 6: NFL and they want to continue to prove that, so, 242 00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 6: you know, I think they're going to give their best. 243 00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 6: I think other guys outside when it comes to the offense, 244 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,560 Speaker 6: I think other guys are going to have to step 245 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,680 Speaker 6: up and show their worth because they're missing a huge 246 00:11:20,679 --> 00:11:22,400 Speaker 6: piece without CJ. Stroud. 247 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: Do you have a name or two that's an X 248 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 1: factor for you going into this game if the Texans 249 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,080 Speaker 1: want to get a win that need to play well. 250 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it absolutely has to be two guys. 251 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 6: I think Nico Collins, of course, he's their best playmaker 252 00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 6: on offense. And I think it's Woody Marks, the running back, 253 00:11:40,280 --> 00:11:42,760 Speaker 6: the Ricky running back. When he has really good games, 254 00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:46,320 Speaker 6: this offense is exploding and he has big playability. But 255 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 6: when he stopped, you know, they struggle as a offense. 256 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 6: So I think Woody Marks and Nico Collins are the 257 00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,400 Speaker 6: big guys who must have big games. 258 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:54,920 Speaker 5: Great. 259 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,520 Speaker 1: Thanks Jonathan, We'll see you on Sunday. 260 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 6: Thanks for having me. 261 00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 1: That was behind enemy lines with Jonathan Alexand from a 262 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: Houston Chronicle.

Welcome back to jag am and welcome 269 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,599 Speaker 1: to the future. We're going to do our best to 270 00:12:27,760 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: predict what the headlines are going to be on Monday morning. 271 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,120 Speaker 1: So Brian, when you're looking ahead, what do you think 272 00:12:32,160 --> 00:12:33,080 Speaker 1: the headlines will say? 273 00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:36,960 Speaker 4: Saddle up, let's ride. This is not just to use 274 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 4: the Western theme, but this is a game where you 275 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:44,040 Speaker 4: want to impose your will on this Texans team. Tough 276 00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 4: to do against a great defense, but I think you've 277 00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 4: just got to keep hammering the running game to set 278 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 4: up the passing game. And I know John talked a 279 00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,600 Speaker 4: little bit about that being the reverse, and I understand that, 280 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,120 Speaker 4: but this week, in particular, with the quarterback in the 281 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 4: situation with a new receiver, without Brian, Tom Junior without 282 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: Breton Strange still maybe with a new starter at left guard. 283 00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:06,960 Speaker 4: I just think you keep it simple and run the ball. 284 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,800 Speaker 4: And here's the other twist to this thing. You can 285 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 4: really do some damage to the Houston Texans on Sunday 286 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,120 Speaker 4: if you beat them. There's a couple of teams that 287 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,920 Speaker 4: are sitting around. You're five and three, Chiefs are five 288 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,680 Speaker 4: and four, Ravens are sitting back. They've got the quarterback 289 00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 4: back at three and five. You can push this team, 290 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 4: this Texans team away from the playoffs with a win. 291 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,680 Speaker 4: So let's have the mentality of going and pounding them 292 00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 4: on Sunday and coming away with a one point wins 293 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,440 Speaker 4: all it takes, right, we learned that last week. But 294 00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 4: a win in which you show them we're the more 295 00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,280 Speaker 4: physical team this week. 296 00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, I think they're gonna do that. 297 00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:41,400 Speaker 1: Ryan. 298 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:43,760 Speaker 5: My only point is I think it's gonna be the 299 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 5: third or fourth quarter where you see it. 300 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,240 Speaker 4: Sure take effect. 301 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 5: So I absolutely agree with you if they're gonna I 302 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:54,520 Speaker 5: would be surprised if the Jaguars win if they don't 303 00:13:54,840 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 5: have a feeling in the fourth quarter that they're controlling 304 00:13:57,160 --> 00:13:58,880 Speaker 5: the line of scrimmage, if that makes sense. They had 305 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 5: it here three, and when they've played well this season, 306 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 5: they've had that. 307 00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:06,200 Speaker 4: And I think you talk about all the stars on 308 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 4: that Texans defense, you talk about Anderson and Daniel Hunter 309 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:15,480 Speaker 4: and obviously the corner Stingley, but those two tackles, Sheldon 310 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 4: Rankins and Tim Settles, they're really good football players. I 311 00:14:18,600 --> 00:14:21,320 Speaker 4: mean they're not dominant all pro kind of guys, but man, 312 00:14:21,360 --> 00:14:23,640 Speaker 4: they make it really tough. So I'm looking at that. 313 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 4: I'll take the third quarter, I'll take the fourth quarter, whatever. 314 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 4: I just want to see that physical style of play 315 00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,800 Speaker 4: that the Jaguars, you so effectively kind in the first 316 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,560 Speaker 4: month of the season, come back to them in the 317 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:35,920 Speaker 4: month of November, which, as you know well, is when 318 00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 4: the pretenders and contenders separate. If you're going to be 319 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: a contender this year, you better be able to play 320 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,400 Speaker 4: that kind of ball. 321 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 5: I went with somehow, some way, and I guess when 322 00:14:48,960 --> 00:14:53,520 Speaker 5: I watched this game, I had Parker Washington as the 323 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:58,960 Speaker 5: person on the paper. If you will, it's gonna be 324 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:02,760 Speaker 5: guys the rest to the season who you didn't necessarily 325 00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 5: expect early in the season making plays. Parker Washington is 326 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,760 Speaker 5: now the number one receiver, and we all thought that 327 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 5: would be the case in April. So I think if 328 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 5: this team's going to win, it's going to win in 329 00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 5: fashions where people at the end of the game go 330 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:21,680 Speaker 5: how they do that well because somebody like Parker Washington 331 00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 5: or Jacobe Myers or Antonio Johnson, guys who are being 332 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:28,920 Speaker 5: forced to step up. I don't think it's going to 333 00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,720 Speaker 5: be a blowout Sunday. Think they're going to figure out 334 00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 5: a way to make something weird happen at the end. 335 00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 5: I think it's going to be a weird good team 336 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:35,520 Speaker 5: this year. 337 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 4: You know what I think was buccalt. What was interesting 338 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 4: yesterday was Josh Allen was talking about the guys who 339 00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,000 Speaker 4: were making plays for them against the Raiders, and he 340 00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 4: was talking about the contending board in the Iron Jag 341 00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 4: games that they did in the offseason, and if you 342 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 4: haven't seen that, go back and watch that episode of 343 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 4: the Hunt, which you can find on the YouTube channel 344 00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 4: shameless plug there. But he said it was the guys 345 00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 4: that he knew he had to count on and went 346 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 4: right back to his mind, they were the guys that 347 00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: were the most competitive. They were the guys that were 348 00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,440 Speaker 4: at the very top of the leader boards during those 349 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,480 Speaker 4: Iron Jag games. That meant the most to them. So 350 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:11,680 Speaker 4: the guys that you're talking about are guys that the 351 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:15,440 Speaker 4: Jaguars feel confident in because they're competitors. They're top competitors, 352 00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 4: and that matters in every situation. Kay, they want to 353 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 4: find a way to win, even if they're only on 354 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,600 Speaker 4: the field for five or six plays, they want to 355 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,120 Speaker 4: win each one. 356 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 5: I think you're gonna have a lot of games where 357 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 5: if a if a player in the last five minutes, 358 00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,360 Speaker 5: like if somebody goes away from the game, they're gonna 359 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 5: come back after the game. But who won a Jaguars 360 00:16:34,040 --> 00:16:35,760 Speaker 5: one because they did? Like, I think it's gonna be 361 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 5: that sort of where you don't have a vibe during 362 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 5: the game of this team's dominating, but this team is 363 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,680 Speaker 5: good at the end of games and they're clutch and 364 00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:48,600 Speaker 5: they keep fighting. So I think I think I think 365 00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,680 Speaker 5: they can punch their way to the playoffs this year. 366 00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:51,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, Puncher's chance. 367 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 4: I like it. 368 00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: I went a little bit different. I went kind of 369 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:58,000 Speaker 1: the Texans end of this because I want h Town down. 370 00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: I think this is a huge opportunity. We came into 371 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 1: the season. You know, the Texans have won the past 372 00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,560 Speaker 1: couple of years. It was their division. They're on a 373 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,679 Speaker 1: spot right now with as many injuries as they have. 374 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:10,480 Speaker 1: I mean, we've been talking about our team being injured. 375 00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: They've got maybe ten, close to ten starters on the 376 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: injury report. We already know CJ. Stroud isn't gonna play, 377 00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: and I can feel the the blood is in the 378 00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: water a little bit. And this is a huge opportunity 379 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:23,200 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars to go in sweep them for the 380 00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:24,639 Speaker 1: first time since twenty seventeen, Briand, is. 381 00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:25,240 Speaker 2: That what you're saying? 382 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:25,639 Speaker 4: Correct? 383 00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: Sweep the Texans? And I played Mortal Kombat as a kid, 384 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 1: and like when you're almost about to win and they're like, 385 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: finish him. This is the opportunity. You gotta finish it, 386 00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 1: get a win over them and assert yourself in this division. 387 00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 1: Obviously the Cults are a different position right now, but 388 00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:42,399 Speaker 1: you're gonna get to them later in the season, and 389 00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:44,359 Speaker 1: this can be a statement game as well as a 390 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: really important win for them. 391 00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 4: I didn't see you as a Moratal Kombat. 392 00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 5: I have aged out of this shit. That was the 393 00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 5: coolest headline, the coolest prediction segment. I couldn't hope to 394 00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 5: touch it. I may as well just be the old guy. 395 00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,000 Speaker 1: Now I'm gonna bring in some moretals a play.
