1 00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:06,480 Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time. Dick Ashlyn sell Off selling 2 00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:12,840 Speaker 1: John Oceans, Bryan Sex Jacks Drive Time, and it starts 3 00:00:12,960 --> 00:00:18,520 Speaker 1: right now. Welcome in Jaguar's Drive Time. It is Thursday morning, 4 00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,280 Speaker 1: getting ready for a big game against the Indianapolis Cold 5 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: State Division matchup coming here this weekend, traveling to Indy 6 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,680 Speaker 1: on Saturday, and coming off a big win against the 7 00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. There's some positivity around here, some pep in 8 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,200 Speaker 1: your if you will. Yeah, that happens when you win, yes, 9 00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,840 Speaker 1: but it only lasts a week. Well to do it again. 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: And what's been interesting is and we heard this on 11 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Sunday in the post game, and then yesterday the head 12 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,840 Speaker 1: coach talked about getting his team right back to work 13 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,080 Speaker 1: as opposed to you're having to shut it down for 14 00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,959 Speaker 1: the bye week and then try to pick it back 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,760 Speaker 1: up and go to Seattle. So I'm interested to see. 16 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 1: And momentum is so fleeting, especially in professional football, but 17 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,800 Speaker 1: I'm interested to see how this team responds early on 18 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,520 Speaker 1: to a Colts team that's coming off a ten day layoff. 19 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,919 Speaker 1: And they, I mean, they just beat up on the Jets. 20 00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:08,640 Speaker 1: So it's a distinct challenge. These guys have some momentum. 21 00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: Let's see what they do with it. I got to 22 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:16,160 Speaker 1: back it up. It's in it. It is a I 23 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 1: would say, a rare opportunity for a team that has 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:21,880 Speaker 1: not been very good, which is Jaguars to what lost 25 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,919 Speaker 1: twenty in a row and now all of a sudden 26 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 1: beat two legitimate teams back to back. I don't know 27 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,880 Speaker 1: when the last time they beat two teams that came 28 00:01:31,880 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: into the game believing they were going to the playoffs, 29 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,399 Speaker 1: and the Colts still do believe that, and it's legitimate. 30 00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: Colts win their five and five and they're back in it. Uh, 31 00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: that's beating two teams where it matters, and that's uh, 32 00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:46,200 Speaker 1: you have to go back to when they did that. Yeah, 33 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: and I guess they did, but the schedule, you know, 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 1: I'm assuming they did. But it's been that long since 35 00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,559 Speaker 1: you felt legitimate victories back to back for this team. 36 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: So we'll see a big opportunity. I don't think they're 37 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,080 Speaker 1: gonna do it, but I hope they do it because 38 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 1: are brutal matchup, absolutely, because of their balance, and but 39 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: just it was just so a matter of fact. It 40 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,720 Speaker 1: just to answer the question, the last time they went 41 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,800 Speaker 1: back to back games was the last two weeks of 42 00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,600 Speaker 1: October Week seven and Week gate of twenty nineteen, so 43 00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:19,800 Speaker 1: it's been just over two years since we've seen that, 44 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: and John's right distinct challenge against a team that is surging. 45 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,080 Speaker 1: But let's get the big Nettie Negative thinks they're going 46 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,080 Speaker 1: to play well, Maggy Negative. Okay, I think they're going 47 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,400 Speaker 1: to play well. But I know I've got a lot 48 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:31,960 Speaker 1: of time. Let's talk about it. Let's do it. Big 49 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,560 Speaker 1: Thing one is James on a first name basis here 50 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:38,239 Speaker 1: in Jaguars Drive time, James as in Robinson. He's most 51 00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: consistent offensive performer and the key to opening things up 52 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 1: on the offensive This week, Robinson will keep the Colts attention, 53 00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: which should allow a receiver, maybe a tight end like 54 00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 1: Dan Arnold, to get open somewhere further up the field. 55 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 1: This guy is key. He did not practice yesterday, so 56 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,360 Speaker 1: we'll see what happens with getting him back on the 57 00:02:56,360 --> 00:03:00,440 Speaker 1: field this week. Big thing too is Josh as in Alan. 58 00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: He's been unstoppable the past couple of games. The Jaguars 59 00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:05,959 Speaker 1: are gonna have to disrupt the Indianapolis Colts offense that 60 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:08,800 Speaker 1: is running for a hundred and thirty seven yards per game, 61 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 1: and Josh Allen is a big part of that. He 62 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,720 Speaker 1: has to keep it going and the defense has to 63 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: continue to keep playing as one unit. Every level. Everyone's 64 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: kind of, you know, doing their job. I would definitely 65 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:22,920 Speaker 1: say that back in they're they're kind of finding their way. 66 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,120 Speaker 1: They're finding exactly the coverages that work best for the 67 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,600 Speaker 1: people that's on the field, and um, it's been working. 68 00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: A lot of Russian coverage has been working very well. 69 00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:32,160 Speaker 1: And the interior push it helps me and Johnthon Will 70 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,120 Speaker 1: We're gonna make him step up all day. So if 71 00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,960 Speaker 1: we have the interior push, it's gonna be a lot 72 00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: of sticks out there. Big thing three is plus two 73 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: as in takeaways. The Jaguars won the turnover battle for 74 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,560 Speaker 1: the first time this season and beat the Buffalo Bills. 75 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:51,080 Speaker 1: Extra possessions, short fields all good things for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. 76 00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:52,840 Speaker 1: But the key is you have to do something with 77 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 1: those extra possessions, and this offense feeds to get going early. 78 00:03:57,880 --> 00:04:00,480 Speaker 1: We have an opportunity just making the play we had 79 00:04:00,520 --> 00:04:02,360 Speaker 1: even towards I know we're really about on third down 80 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: this past week, and um, I know I had two 81 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,920 Speaker 1: plays at the end where I'm still kicking myself as 82 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: after the game. I gotta hit two of those and 83 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,920 Speaker 1: those would have, you know, put the nail on the coffin. 84 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 1: So those players we gotta hit. You know, we had 85 00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,640 Speaker 1: some other ones throughout the game that were there that 86 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:19,280 Speaker 1: we didn't make for whatever reason. Um, everything goes together, 87 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:23,320 Speaker 1: you know, it's up front, it's in the backfield. You know, communication, 88 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: it's you know, me and the wide outs be on 89 00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: the same page, all that, and we just gotta we 90 00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: gotta get better and um obviously being more efficient, no, 91 00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,680 Speaker 1: you have it. That is big things. Let's go back 92 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,039 Speaker 1: up to big thing one, which is James Robinson and 93 00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: hopefully able to play this week. And that's key. You 94 00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,599 Speaker 1: need him to play because we just heard from Trevor 95 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: Lawrence this team isn't getting enough big plays, they aren't 96 00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,760 Speaker 1: converting enough third downs. You need James Robinson on the field. Well, 97 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 1: let me give you a different way to look at it. 98 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 1: When the Jaguars used to go and play Peyton Manning's Colts, 99 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 1: right uh, you know the mid two thousand's, they knew 100 00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:58,279 Speaker 1: they had to run the ball to keep Peyton Manning 101 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 1: on the sideline when they were competitive in those games. 102 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: It was Fred Taylor and then Fred Taylor and Maurice 103 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Jones Drew who were keeping manning their watching right. They 104 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 1: didn't often win those games up there, but they were 105 00:05:10,240 --> 00:05:12,440 Speaker 1: able to keep them close because they could run the ball. 106 00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: You want to keep the ball out of Jonathan Taylor's 107 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 1: hands or Michael Pittman's hands. Those guys are game changing players. 108 00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:21,559 Speaker 1: The best way to do it is to go back 109 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,520 Speaker 1: to James Robinson and Carlos Hide, who had a couple 110 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 1: of nice runs last week and be able to, I 111 00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,920 Speaker 1: don't know, play Princeton. If you remember the Princeton Georgetown 112 00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,200 Speaker 1: game from the n C Double A Tournament, you remember 113 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:39,240 Speaker 1: that one. I'm sure specificly she wasn't even born. You 114 00:05:39,320 --> 00:05:42,440 Speaker 1: slow it, you slow it down, you limit the number 115 00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: of possessions, you score when you can, and you try 116 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: to keep it from Carson Wentz and that offense. That's 117 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,360 Speaker 1: why James Robinson is so important. Yes, you'd like a 118 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 1: sixty yard run or four touchdowns, but if he can 119 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: just help dictate the tempo, that can be enough. Well, 120 00:05:56,760 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: I'm concerned he he didn't practice yesterday. Um urban Meyer 121 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 1: sounds very optimistic, and there's no question that urban Meyer 122 00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,440 Speaker 1: believes in this kid and believes in his toughness. Uh, 123 00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:14,159 Speaker 1: he couldn't play on Sunday. He hasn't practiced legitimately since then. 124 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,160 Speaker 1: So I don't know what's gonna happen. I think today 125 00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 1: is a huge day for that. Um. You know, I 126 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 1: hate to keep harping on the receivers with nothing deep, 127 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: but that's so overwhelming that I just don't really believe 128 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:29,960 Speaker 1: that they're going to be able to be consistent offensively 129 00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:32,800 Speaker 1: without James Robinson the field. It's not the Carloside can't 130 00:06:32,839 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: do it. It's just the James Robinson once every quarter 131 00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,240 Speaker 1: will pop it outside and get extra. They need something 132 00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: extra from this offense right now. You know, I went 133 00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: and looked at Michael Pittman a little bit, and he's 134 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,560 Speaker 1: averaging thirteen point one yards per reception, which, by the way, 135 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,239 Speaker 1: is but that's not game breaking. Right. When Jimmy Smith 136 00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:51,599 Speaker 1: was a game breaking receiver, he was at seventeen point 137 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: six that that's only two yards more per reception than 138 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,240 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones. And yet the distinction between where those two 139 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:03,800 Speaker 1: guys are right, the difference is Jonathan Taylor, Right, Jonathan 140 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:07,280 Speaker 1: Taylor's runs set up passes that are manageable, and then 141 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,960 Speaker 1: Michael Pittman goes and beats guys to the football. I mean, 142 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: he's tremendous, great equation. I try to use the math 143 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: where I can. The point that I'm making is is 144 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: that James Robinson can make Lavisca Chennauld and Marvin Jones 145 00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:23,240 Speaker 1: and La Kwan Treadwell and John Brown if he gets 146 00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: onto I mean, any of these guys, he can make 147 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: them much much better. It's remarkable that we're talking about 148 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: a guy who was undrafted a year ago, right, But 149 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: but he is because that guy can set up one 150 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,800 Speaker 1: on one pass opportunities and guys like Marvin Jones and 151 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,480 Speaker 1: Lavisca can make something happen. But it's on him and 152 00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: they need him. They need his particular, even peculiar blend 153 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,920 Speaker 1: of size and quickness and suddenness. And he's he's different. 154 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 1: He's tough to describe, even if he doesn't say anything 155 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 1: up on the outside. Uh. I believe most of their 156 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 1: successful dry at this point of the season, from the 157 00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,239 Speaker 1: end of the season on, are going to be plotting drives. 158 00:08:04,240 --> 00:08:06,720 Speaker 1: I don't say there's an insult, but they're gonna be drives. 159 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: They go ten to four team plays and they're gonna 160 00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: go seven yards. Well, Robinson needs to be in the 161 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 1: game to have those kind of drives successfully because he 162 00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: sets up short the artist, he sets up manageable. Once 163 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:23,280 Speaker 1: a drive, I mean, once they drive on a series 164 00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:25,560 Speaker 1: like that, he is going to make a run where 165 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,200 Speaker 1: you say, oh, well, I didn't think he was gonna 166 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,560 Speaker 1: get the first down, but he squeeze it out. He's 167 00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: got to play for this offense to be successful when 168 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800 Speaker 1: it's playing that style, which I think right now is 169 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: the only style they can play now. The flip is 170 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 1: if we go to plus two. And I think I 171 00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:40,800 Speaker 1: said this on Monday, but it bears repeating. The Titans 172 00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 1: were overmatched in a sense when they went out to 173 00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:47,760 Speaker 1: Los Angeles because the Rams had this explosive offense and 174 00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,200 Speaker 1: they were scoring at a prodigious rate. And yet it 175 00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,040 Speaker 1: was the takeaways, right the interception that set up the 176 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:56,440 Speaker 1: touchdown to pick six in the first half that bury 177 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,720 Speaker 1: the Rams and all of a sudden, made him one dimensional. 178 00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: This team was able to win on Sunday even though 179 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:05,439 Speaker 1: they were mismatched because of the takeaways. If the Jaguars 180 00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,720 Speaker 1: do anything well on Sunday, man take the bowl away. 181 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,480 Speaker 1: Let that be a bunch thing where they come in 182 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,040 Speaker 1: bunches back to back to back to back weeks. The 183 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:16,720 Speaker 1: Jaguars ability to win some ball games in this very 184 00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: difficult stretch to me, is on their ability to take 185 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: the ball away and then of course be in the 186 00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:26,679 Speaker 1: positive category. I mean, you don't give it away. The 187 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: best in the league taking the ball. But last week, 188 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:32,960 Speaker 1: last week, the best team was the Bills. Right, last 189 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: week they had the most take that negative Nelly, I'm 190 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,839 Speaker 1: just saying, well, I'm just saying last week the Bills 191 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,920 Speaker 1: came in with you know, eighteen takeaways and this week 192 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: it's the Colts with I think twenty. So you've done 193 00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,520 Speaker 1: been done before. And while we're at it, the Bills 194 00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:49,000 Speaker 1: came in averaging thirty six points over their last four 195 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: games and the Colts come in averaging thirty five points. 196 00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,400 Speaker 1: I mean, the similarities are there. Here's the difference. I 197 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 1: think the Bills looked at the Jaguars and said, looked 198 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: at the Seattle performance in particulars, and we at this 199 00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 1: one right. The Colts will not do that. They will not. 200 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,840 Speaker 1: Their head coach members. What happened here in opening day 201 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:09,640 Speaker 1: last year and the culture. Team that has a chance 202 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,960 Speaker 1: because I don't think the Titans can keep it going, 203 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 1: not like they did, has a chance to get close 204 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: to the Titans and maybe make a run depending on 205 00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: how they do. Yeah, a team that needs to win, 206 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,640 Speaker 1: so they're they're very, very motivated for sure. So you're 207 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: going to have to take the ball away and play 208 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: your best and we will see what happens. We'll have 209 00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:29,120 Speaker 1: more about that Coltskin coming up. Lara Overton from Colts 210 00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:31,640 Speaker 1: dot Com joins us after this break, stay with us 211 00:10:31,640 --> 00:10:41,280 Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. This segment of Jaguars Drive 212 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: Time has been brought to you by Lexus of Jacksonville 213 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,480 Speaker 1: and Lexus of Orange Park, members of the Fields Auto Group. 214 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: We're about Jaguars Drive Time, getting ready for a divisional 215 00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,760 Speaker 1: matchup on Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts, and no better 216 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: to come on this show than Lara Overton, who is 217 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 1: Colts dot Com reporter and produce Sir, thank you for 218 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:04,959 Speaker 1: waking up somewhat early for us. Thanks for having me on. 219 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,600 Speaker 1: It's great to get to see you guys and preview 220 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,760 Speaker 1: this awesome divisional matchup. Colt certainly excited to be back 221 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 1: at home after getting that mini by week following the 222 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: win over the Jets on Thursday Night. I love it, 223 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 1: and yes, tell me about this offense. We've been talking 224 00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 1: about Jonathan Taylor and how the Jaguars defense really needs 225 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 1: to bring their a game with this running back. What 226 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,160 Speaker 1: is this offense looking like great now? And what are 227 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: they doing well well? And it's not only Jonathan Taylor. 228 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:32,720 Speaker 1: You have to put nineteen Hinds in that conversation as well. 229 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,920 Speaker 1: Certainly Jonathan Taylor is leading that group. He is your 230 00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:38,240 Speaker 1: bell cow, but it was all set up in that 231 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,599 Speaker 1: Thursday Night game by that initial touchdown Nahehnes. It was 232 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,679 Speaker 1: a career long touchdown for him. But you mentioned this 233 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,319 Speaker 1: rushing attack, the two headed monster that they have led 234 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 1: by Jonathan Taylor, and then, in compliment with night Minds, 235 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 1: two and sixty rushing yards on Thursday Night, most by 236 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 1: any team this season. And I think what is likely 237 00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: more impressive is it's eight point six yards per kerry, 238 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:03,440 Speaker 1: which is the most in single game franchise history. Coming 239 00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: off of that Thursday Night game, We're starting to see 240 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: such effective, dominant production for Jonathan Taylor, and you know, 241 00:12:11,200 --> 00:12:14,079 Speaker 1: a lot of yards after contact as well, That's one 242 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: of the things where in his sophomore year, Jonathan Taeler 243 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: has developed not only in his speed, but also in 244 00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:24,160 Speaker 1: his powers, breakaway ability, and his ability to take tacklers 245 00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:28,000 Speaker 1: with him. He is an absolute powerhouse in this run game. 246 00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:31,120 Speaker 1: We're seeing him run with confidence. We're also seeing a 247 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: much healthier offensive line. This was an offensive line that 248 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: had a lot of injury issues early on in this season. 249 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,920 Speaker 1: We had the best and most positive injury report that 250 00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:45,600 Speaker 1: we've seen. Brandon Smith was on the injury report. Uh, 251 00:12:45,760 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: he did not practice on Wednesday, but head coach Frank 252 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: Craich so that he is optimistic that you could have 253 00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:55,240 Speaker 1: Brandon Smith back. But it's been a really great local rotation. 254 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: You had a lot of depth on that offensive line, 255 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,480 Speaker 1: and you're starting to see those guys get confident playing 256 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,840 Speaker 1: next to one another as they have worked in. Chris 257 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:06,160 Speaker 1: Read alongside Mark Luinsky in that spot as well, and 258 00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:08,319 Speaker 1: then you've had Matt Prior as well over there on 259 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: the outside when Braden Smith has not been available. Good morning, Laura. 260 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:16,080 Speaker 1: You know this defense that you have very talented and 261 00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,600 Speaker 1: obviously great at taking the ball away, But I just 262 00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: get the sense reading between the lines listening to some 263 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 1: interviews that there's a greater expectation for this unit. Tell 264 00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,080 Speaker 1: me what the overall sentiment in Indianapolis is about this 265 00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:32,599 Speaker 1: Colts defense. Well, they've certainly been vulnerable in the secondary. 266 00:13:32,640 --> 00:13:34,640 Speaker 1: That's one of the ways that we have seen teams 267 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: really exploit this defense. They're fantastic in takeaway so I 268 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: heard you guys note that they of course had two 269 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,160 Speaker 1: takeaways on Thursday night. They lead the league in force 270 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,119 Speaker 1: turnovers with twenty. They have seventy seven points off turnovers 271 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: as well, So that's been one of the things that 272 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: has been imperative, is this offense being able to capitalize 273 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: on those takeaway opportunities when your defense has been able 274 00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 1: to force them. But when you give up thirty points 275 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 1: to a New York Jets he who's playing with their 276 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: third string quarterback, there is some concern there with how 277 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: this team has lacked the ability to close out games 278 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: and be dominant in the second half. When you look 279 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:14,280 Speaker 1: at those losses, the loss on Monday night to Baltimore 280 00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:16,960 Speaker 1: in which you had a nineteen point lead, like, yes, 281 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 1: it's Lamar Jackson and that you know, explosive, dynamic offense 282 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 1: that they had a fourteen point uh lead that you 283 00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,040 Speaker 1: had at home against Tennessee Titans that you allowed to evaporate. 284 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: Those are some concerns with how this defense has lacked 285 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: that what they call a killer instinct. That's in their 286 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: own words, that they have needed to cultivate a killer 287 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,200 Speaker 1: instinct and dominate the second half of games. We've seen 288 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: it in certain opportunities. You look back to Sunday Night 289 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: Football playing the Niners. That was the most complete game 290 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: we saw from this defense of the entire season. And 291 00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: part of your work concerns with that secondary come down 292 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: to injuries at the safety position. Cory Willis is currently 293 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440 Speaker 1: on I R, so you will not have him, and 294 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: then Julian Blackman touris Achilles and practice. He's out for 295 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: the year. So it has been by committee effort with 296 00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 1: Anderson Dajo and George Odom in that safety spot. One 297 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:13,680 Speaker 1: encouraging note for the Indianapolis Calls defense is you could 298 00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:16,880 Speaker 1: get t j Carry back off of I R. There's 299 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: a possibility that he could return to practice this week, 300 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: and he is a very versatile, valuable piece of that group. 301 00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: He can play corner, he can play in the nickel, 302 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480 Speaker 1: he can play safety for you so he could be 303 00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 1: one of those options that you have to reinforce that group. 304 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 1: You've also had Isaiah Rodgers, second year guy who has 305 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,440 Speaker 1: stepped up behind Xavier Rhodes. Because Xavier Rhodes has been 306 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: battling at cafe cafe injury for the majority of the season. 307 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 1: It limited him early on. He was out in periods 308 00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,240 Speaker 1: of that game against New York Jets over on the 309 00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: sidelines getting treatment. He's battled through a lot this season 310 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:52,680 Speaker 1: to make himself available when he can be. But been 311 00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:54,960 Speaker 1: a lot of young guys who have stepped up at 312 00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: that position group, Laura Carson Wentz obviously the huge story 313 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: in the offseason. How has he been? Has he been 314 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,480 Speaker 1: what they hoped? Absolutely? I think he certainly. I mean 315 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: he came off of that Thursday night game career high 316 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: in passer rating, and I think when you look to 317 00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: the second quarter now into the third quarter of the season, 318 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: as Carson Wentz has gotten healthier. You know those ankle sprains, 319 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: you know, one on each ankle, not just one, but 320 00:16:23,200 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: we had to dual, dual um ankle sprains coming out 321 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: of that game against the Rams. And when you look 322 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:34,360 Speaker 1: to the difference in when Carson Wentz played the Titans 323 00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: in Nashville versus his playing you know, at home against 324 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:42,080 Speaker 1: the Titans, you saw much greater mobility. Of course, you 325 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: you he would love to have those interceptions back. Those 326 00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,880 Speaker 1: were just the absolute killer in that second game against 327 00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. It was a must win opportunity for 328 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,480 Speaker 1: the Colts. But his mobility has certainly increased. He's getting 329 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:57,880 Speaker 1: much more comfortable behind this offensive line, and he's gaining 330 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:01,160 Speaker 1: confidence in his receivers. One of the most impressive things 331 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:04,080 Speaker 1: I saw on Thursday night was not just of course 332 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: you're rushing attack, but the way he spread the ball around. 333 00:17:07,200 --> 00:17:10,159 Speaker 1: You had touchdowns to Michael Pittman Jr. Jack Doyle, a 334 00:17:10,240 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: touchdown to the offensive lineman Danny Pincer as well. And 335 00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:18,360 Speaker 1: when you look back to that impressive win over the Niners, 336 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,080 Speaker 1: when Carson was throwing the ball much more so than 337 00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: anyone anticipated due to those adverse conditions that they were 338 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:28,320 Speaker 1: playing in, you know, at an atmospheric river storm. He 339 00:17:28,400 --> 00:17:31,199 Speaker 1: was asked about what made him so confident to be 340 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,600 Speaker 1: able to throw the ball when everyone was thinking they're 341 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:35,200 Speaker 1: just gonna pound it, They're just gonna run the game 342 00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: and run the ball uh, the entirety of that game, 343 00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 1: and he instead have You've seen the guys that I'm 344 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:42,800 Speaker 1: throwing to, namely Michael Pittman Jr. Has who has exploded, 345 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: you know as a number one wide out for this 346 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,160 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts offense, one that has not had the availability 347 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 1: that they would have liked to have seen from t 348 00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: Y Hilton due to multiple injury issues. Uh. T Y 349 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:56,119 Speaker 1: did practice in a limited capacity yesterday. He's coming off 350 00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:59,439 Speaker 1: of a concussion, so he is trending upward where he 351 00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,280 Speaker 1: could be of oble for this divisional game on Sunday. 352 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: But I do think Carson Wentz has certainly met expectations 353 00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,600 Speaker 1: or exceeded them, aside from just a couple of you know, 354 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:11,919 Speaker 1: those errant grows that he would have liked to have 355 00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: back when you point to um, you know, the Rams 356 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,159 Speaker 1: game and that loss to the Tennessee Titans. But overall, 357 00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:19,400 Speaker 1: the production that you've gotten from him, I think has 358 00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: been exceptional and you are starting to see, I mean, 359 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 1: you know, this offense scoring thirty plus points and four 360 00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,399 Speaker 1: consecutive games, and that's really encouraging for what you needed 361 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,840 Speaker 1: to see, what you hoped to see in this reunion 362 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: of Frank Reich and Carson Wentz. I think he's going 363 00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:39,359 Speaker 1: to continue um progressing. I do not think we have 364 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:43,800 Speaker 1: seen the best football yet from Carson Wentz. Well Jaguars 365 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,880 Speaker 1: defensive and Josh Allen said, we have to pressure Carson 366 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,679 Speaker 1: Wentz if we want a chance to win. This is 367 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 1: a big game against the Colts and Jaguars and Lara, 368 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:52,879 Speaker 1: thank you so much for breaking it down for us. 369 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,000 Speaker 1: We appreciate you joining us. Thanks so much. Guys, look 370 00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: forward to having you in India this weekend. Yes, we 371 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:00,960 Speaker 1: will see you there this weekend. We back on Jaguars 372 00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:03,560 Speaker 1: Drive Time something he will he won't. He might, hear 373 00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: on the Jaguars Digital Network. We're about Jaguars Drive Time 374 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:12,919 Speaker 1: and it's time for he will, he won't, he might. 375 00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,639 Speaker 1: Getting ready for Sunday's game against the Colts. Presented by 376 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,119 Speaker 1: move Day three players we have our eyes on and 377 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,919 Speaker 1: Brian Yrett first with the tight end Dan Arnold. Uh, 378 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: he'll be the leading receiver. I think he might be 379 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:25,639 Speaker 1: the leading receiver in terms of targets the rest of 380 00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:29,640 Speaker 1: the way. Clearly he and Trevor Lawrence have formed a 381 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: strong working relationship. UH. Trevor indicated that yesterday. Um, you 382 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: know he won't. He won't get down the field and 383 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: make a fifty five yard play. I mean, that's just 384 00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: even though Trevior said yesterday, he's deceptively quick, he's got length, 385 00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:47,960 Speaker 1: he can make things happen. Um. The play we saw 386 00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 1: last week is about the limit of it. I think. Um, 387 00:19:50,800 --> 00:19:52,240 Speaker 1: but he might be the guy that gets you two 388 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,959 Speaker 1: touchdowns and keeps it close because if you can get 389 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:56,919 Speaker 1: into the red zone and they haven't been able to 390 00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,600 Speaker 1: really exploit this yet. He's got great length and can 391 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: go up bring the ball down. And Laura mentioned that 392 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 1: they had some issues in the secondary there might be 393 00:20:04,640 --> 00:20:08,000 Speaker 1: some mismashed opportunities. So perhaps he's a guy who can 394 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: keep you in the game. I like it. I Uh, 395 00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: I went with Rudy Ford. Uh, Rudy Ford, will I 396 00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:18,880 Speaker 1: believe be the nickel or the safety, the extra defensive 397 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 1: back the rest of the season. He did that very well. Uh. 398 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: His speed, his ability to make plays, I think surprise coaches. 399 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 1: This is not a guy they brought in to necessarily 400 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: be the nickelback. But in searching for answers to give 401 00:20:32,520 --> 00:20:36,280 Speaker 1: the coaches credit here, they have gone around this year 402 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: and solve problems with the personnel at hand. Uh. So again, 403 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,240 Speaker 1: credit to the defensive coaches for putting him in the game. Uh. 404 00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: He won't be overwhelmed by this. He Uh, he's a 405 00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 1: guy he's been waiting three or four years for this opportunity. Uh. 406 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,439 Speaker 1: It's a rare story to have a guy who is 407 00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:00,200 Speaker 1: purely a special teams guy. Asked this much. Talk to 408 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:04,240 Speaker 1: me yesterday for a feature that's running on Jaguars dot Com. Um. 409 00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:08,439 Speaker 1: Usually special teams guys go to new teams and the 410 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,480 Speaker 1: storyline is always, well, I'm more than a special teams guy. 411 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:13,200 Speaker 1: You've heard a million times, and as a reporter I 412 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:14,760 Speaker 1: kind of rolled my eyes and said, well, you're probably 413 00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: special teams guy because that's what they hired you for. 414 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 1: This guy has transcended that, and that's a rare thing. 415 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:23,880 Speaker 1: It's pretty cool. Uh. He might wind up being the 416 00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 1: difference for this secondary going forward. It's not a coincidence 417 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,120 Speaker 1: that this defense has played it's best stretches of football 418 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: since he's been in the game. They love his speed 419 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: back there. They need speed in the defensive backfield. Credit 420 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: to him for taking advantage of an opportunity and actually 421 00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:43,800 Speaker 1: read more about him on Jaguars dot Com. Oh, I 422 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,560 Speaker 1: will be there and I will read that. That's what 423 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: they call a little teaser in the business. Right. I've 424 00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: loved that one, John, And yes, you're talking about Rudy 425 00:21:50,640 --> 00:21:52,600 Speaker 1: Ford and how the secondary is starting to figure it 426 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: out to want Smoot. Who is my He will he won't. 427 00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: He might mention that, yes, famous press complex, that he 428 00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,120 Speaker 1: feels like the defense is finally playing as one unit 429 00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,880 Speaker 1: to get together. So Smooth is coming off a game 430 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,320 Speaker 1: with three tackles in one sack. He will have another 431 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,119 Speaker 1: sack this week. He proved his playing time, a player 432 00:22:09,119 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 1: that has really grown here in Jacksonville. He will be 433 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:15,160 Speaker 1: on the statue again because they need him to play well. 434 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 1: He won't ever be the household name, the star player, 435 00:22:18,960 --> 00:22:22,480 Speaker 1: the franchise guy. And that's okay because teams need guys 436 00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:25,639 Speaker 1: like to want Smoot on their roster, who was super reliable, 437 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:27,600 Speaker 1: has been here a couple of years and has really 438 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,959 Speaker 1: grown into his role, so that's okay. He doesn't have 439 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 1: to be that guy. He might be one of the 440 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,000 Speaker 1: main reasons the Jaguars will be able to upset the 441 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. He spoke yesterday about having to pressure Carson 442 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:40,160 Speaker 1: Wentz that is key in this game on Sunday. He 443 00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800 Speaker 1: might be one of the main reasons the Jaguars gonna 444 00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,879 Speaker 1: get a win. He also Slynn might we might just 445 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: be the guest on the ozone podcast is this Just 446 00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: Yourself Player Show?

Presenting sponsor of the Jaguars didn't network, We're back. 467 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:10,520 Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time. Predicting Monday's headlines today after a game 468 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,200 Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Colts in Indy. What will the headline 469 00:24:14,200 --> 00:24:18,560 Speaker 1: be on Monday? Brian, It'll be hashtag finished strong. Uh? Well, 470 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:22,560 Speaker 1: I always say pounds signs anyway, right exactly. But if 471 00:24:22,560 --> 00:24:24,359 Speaker 1: you remember a couple of years ago when Chuck Begana 472 00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 1: was their coach and got cancer, Uh, it was Chuck 473 00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,119 Speaker 1: Strong and they kind of started that trend. So in 474 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,119 Speaker 1: a nod to the Colts and Chuck Bagana, who's one 475 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,840 Speaker 1: of the really good guys in the coaching circuit, uh, 476 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,680 Speaker 1: finish strong. I think the Jaguars will go and play well. 477 00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't know that they've got enough. Not scoring nine points. 478 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:41,159 Speaker 1: Can I say you're gonna go up there and be 479 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: a team that's averaging thirty five? Um? But I think 480 00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,240 Speaker 1: they'll play well, and I think we'll be talking about 481 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,160 Speaker 1: a strong finish with eight games left, and the schedule 482 00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:52,000 Speaker 1: looking ahead is an opportunity for them to play well 483 00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,800 Speaker 1: and finish strong. Yeah, I agree. Mine is looking with 484 00:24:54,840 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: a little possible looking, not I MG, but a little 485 00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:02,800 Speaker 1: I an apostrophe looking. Yet I think they're gonna look better. Uh. 486 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,680 Speaker 1: I think this is going to be a game, and 487 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:06,960 Speaker 1: I fear for this team. It will be the first 488 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,199 Speaker 1: of a few where they play well defensively, they do 489 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,359 Speaker 1: okay offensively, and they just don't have the firepower to 490 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:14,840 Speaker 1: get over the hump and gets a really good team. 491 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,480 Speaker 1: I see sixteen something like that where you just can't 492 00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:20,240 Speaker 1: quite get the points because of what they know is 493 00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: a lack of explosiveness. But I do think this defense 494 00:25:23,320 --> 00:25:25,919 Speaker 1: and all the colts are under let's they'll feel good 495 00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: about it. I think you will feel good about the 496 00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,200 Speaker 1: direction of this team after you look at what the 497 00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: last ten quarters. I think that's what you'll feel out 498 00:25:35,320 --> 00:25:36,919 Speaker 1: of this. But I'm not sure you feel a victory. 499 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,320 Speaker 1: I like that. I'm thinking not there yet, and it's 500 00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: very similar to you guys. They'll play well. I think 501 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,960 Speaker 1: the disorganization and the penalties and all the craziness that 502 00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:47,080 Speaker 1: we saw in Seattle it seems to be we've gotten 503 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: past that playing well competitive. But yeah, you can't go 504 00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,600 Speaker 1: and predict that I're going to beat the Colts. Remember, 505 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 1: the goal for this season was to finish the season, 506 00:25:55,200 --> 00:25:57,160 Speaker 1: you know, with the arrow pointing up and we're going 507 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,840 Speaker 1: upwards and and well we've seen this the last couple 508 00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 1: of weeks, and with a challenging schedule in front of them. Now, 509 00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 1: it's going to take some work, but I think that 510 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:06,440 Speaker 1: we will be talking like this. You know, it would 511 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: be awesome. It would be awesome if as if we're 512 00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,200 Speaker 1: sitting here on Monday with egg on our face and 513 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Leviska have both caught a sixty five 514 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,080 Speaker 1: yard path because they came close a couple of times 515 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,239 Speaker 1: the other day. Remember, it would be cool if they 516 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:22,160 Speaker 1: just stuck it in our face on the receiver thing. 517 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,840 Speaker 1: That would be because I'm tired of talking about it. 518 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: I'm sure they're tired of talking about it. It's it's 519 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:29,960 Speaker 1: there a couple of times close. If this is the 520 00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:33,160 Speaker 1: weekend that happens, then maybe they pull it out. Yeah, okay, 521 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: I like that, but that has to happen, and we're 522 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:38,119 Speaker 1: gonna have an egg on our face you've never heard that. 523 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: She had never heard of the Georgetown of Princeton game. 524 00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:46,000 Speaker 1: What a great game, the great games of all time. 525 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,640 Speaker 1: I should go back and watch it. And Dogs, Princeton, 526 00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: Go Princeton, Go Tigers. Oh goodness. And that is Jaguars 527 00:26:51,800 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: Drive Time.
