1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:03,080
Speaker 1: Week fifteen, the Jaguars faced the Baltimore Ravens on the

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: Inner Harbor, and Andrew Catalan has the call again with

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: CBS Sports. It's been a few weeks, Andrew, what's new

4
00:00:10,360 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 1: with you, hey, JP? Happy holidays, man, good good talking

5
00:00:13,560 --> 00:00:16,319
Speaker 1: with you as always. Yeah, So here we go. The

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,759
Speaker 1: Jaguars areheaded of Baltimore. The biggest bright spot for the

7
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,320
Speaker 1: team this year is James Robinson. Easy. He deserves Pro

8
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,799
Speaker 1: Bowl and Rookie of the Year consideration, but considering the

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 1: record there one in twelve they've lost twelveth straight, he

10
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,239
Speaker 1: might not get that full recognition he deserves. But you know,

11
00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 1: it's not even a surprise anymore when he goes out

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,920
Speaker 1: and gets to these milestones. With a thousand rushing yards,

13
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 1: he's closing in on Fred Taylor's franchise rookie rushing record

14
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,600
Speaker 1: of twenty three and there's really no doubt in my

15
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: mind that he's going to get there. Nothing surprises you

16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,280
Speaker 1: anymore about James Robinson, and that's been such a pleasure

17
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: to watch this year, no doubt about it. And it

18
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 1: also seems that the success he's had has not changed

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,120
Speaker 1: the person he is. He seems like a very humble, quiet,

20
00:01:01,640 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: workman like running back. And I think that's also a

21
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: really good sign too. And you know, I think Doug

22
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: Morone deserves a lot of credit for the way that

23
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: he tried to create opportunities over the summer for draft

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: picks undrafted rookies. I mean, it was so difficult, uh

25
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,120
Speaker 1: to get everyone on the same field with all the

26
00:01:20,160 --> 00:01:24,920
Speaker 1: protocol calls, and to give undrafted players opportunities and chances.

27
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 1: And I think Marone no knew the importance of that,

28
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: and to his credit, they found this guy and and

29
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 1: he's just been tremendous. It takes some guts to cut

30
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,400
Speaker 1: your top five running back and put an undrafted guy

31
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: in there. But it's worked out, no doubt about. And

32
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,759
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people around the league probably

33
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 1: shook their head when they saw what the Jaguars did

34
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 1: it running back in the summer, And you know, it

35
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: couldn't have worked out much better, to be honest. I know,

36
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: as you said, the record is not what they want,

37
00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: but from that position and with James Robinson, they got

38
00:01:53,880 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 1: more than they could have asked for. Andrew Catalan with

39
00:01:56,360 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: the CBS Sports, when you play three quarterbacks, that means

40
00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,320
Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback. And that's what I think

41
00:02:03,320 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars and the fan base and the the office

42
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: has realized as of late. Well, going back to Gardner

43
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,240
Speaker 1: Minshew this week, but they're going back to the off

44
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: schedule offense is really what's going to happen now with Gardner.

45
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: We'll see how long at lasts. But that's really all

46
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: Doug Brone can do is put the next best guy

47
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: out there he feels can get some kind of result

48
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:24,800
Speaker 1: this week alone. Yeah, you know, and in watching and

49
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: obviously had a number of Jaguars games earlier in the season,

50
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 1: so I did not call any games of of Glennon

51
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:33,519
Speaker 1: or Luton, but you know, and just watching the game

52
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: last week and knowing what I know about Gardner, you know,

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,560
Speaker 1: I think that he probably gives them the best shot

54
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: of the three. And I'm sure that's up for debate,

55
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: but what when I think when Gardner plays his a game,

56
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: he is, He's a good quarterback. He he can stand

57
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: in there, make plays with his feet. Um, he seemed

58
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: to have a good connection with some of the receivers.

59
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 1: I know DJ Shark has been kind of quiet of late.

60
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:00,239
Speaker 1: Maybe this will help bring DJ back a little bit

61
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: so again, as you said, when you're playing three, you

62
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: really don't have one. But to me, I think that

63
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,160
Speaker 1: this was the right move for the game against the Ravens.

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: Not only is Gardner Minshew starting this week on the

65
00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: other side, Lamar Jackson is starting Surprise Surprise and the

66
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:19,360
Speaker 1: reigning in the NFL m v P. Now we know

67
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: that the Jaguars defense is depleted to begin with, and

68
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: they've had issues against running teams recently. Cleveland ran all

69
00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: over them with their stable backs and then doors Derrick

70
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: Henry goes for two fifteen yards last week. This is

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: a different type of running attack, multiple running backs, and

72
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: then you have Lamar Jackson that can take it to

73
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: the house from anywhere on the field. If you have

74
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,120
Speaker 1: any discipline issues in terms of gap integrity, forget it.

75
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,200
Speaker 1: It's going to be a long day. And no doubt,

76
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that game that Baltimore played on Monday against Cleveland,

77
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:52,840
Speaker 1: to me, was the game of the year in the NFL.

78
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: And what it also did was provide an incredible amount

79
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: of momentum for Baltimore coming into this game. I mean,

80
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:01,240
Speaker 1: you look at their last three games and they know

81
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,680
Speaker 1: they gotta win all three. Uh, this is um. This

82
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: is a team that that comes in, you know, red hot,

83
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:09,720
Speaker 1: and Lamar was great. I mean, you look at what

84
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: he did after he came out of the locker room

85
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,680
Speaker 1: right away, throwing that touchdown and then the drive to

86
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:18,080
Speaker 1: get in field goal range for Justin Tucker, who, by

87
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: the way, no one else in the NFL can feel

88
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: as confident as Ravens fans do. I mean, when he

89
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: ran out there on Monday night, you're you almost think,

90
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: how he's not gonna miss it, Like no one else

91
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,880
Speaker 1: can feel that in the NFL except for Ravens fans.

92
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,279
Speaker 1: So I think that he is such a weapon and

93
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,720
Speaker 1: obviously had the big kick on Monday night, but this

94
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,880
Speaker 1: running attack is excellent. It's what they do and if

95
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:43,360
Speaker 1: you don't have multiple ways to stop it, you're in

96
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 1: for a long day. You're talking to a guy who's

97
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:51,839
Speaker 1: seen six place kickers this year. Andrew yea six Andrew

98
00:04:51,880 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 1: catalog with his CBS sports. A couple of familiar faces

99
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: on the Ravens side, Kalaias Campbell, the raining Walter Payton

100
00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: NFL Man of the Year. It was traded to Baltimore

101
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: Uniking Gotway the defensive end traded to the Vikings, who

102
00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: later traded him to Baltimore and Gardner Minshe said this

103
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,599
Speaker 1: week that he's gonna enjoy a little talking back and

104
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: forth with Klais. He's a great guy, but in Godway

105
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: is going to be out for blood. I think that's

106
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: a fairly accurate statement. Yeah, I think Gardner nailed it right.

107
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think you're gonna have to worry

108
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: about any any crazy play from Kalaias. But you know,

109
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: this obviously will mean a lot to in Dockway. He

110
00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: We all know how it ended in Jacksonville, and we

111
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: weren't expecting to see them meet here. Obviously, they did

112
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: play the Vikings of the week before, but this is

113
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:43,719
Speaker 1: a little different with Baltimore competing for a playoff spot

114
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,560
Speaker 1: with Campbell going against the Jags. Yeah, I mean it.

115
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 1: I think it's a It's a real storyline and it

116
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,440
Speaker 1: should be interesting to see how it plays out. Final thought, here,

117
00:05:53,480 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: Andrew is the first time that the active roster has

118
00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,159
Speaker 1: been impacted by COVID nineteen. They've got two guys on

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 1: the list as of Thursday. Ben Bartsch was earlier the week.

120
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: Trey Herndon on Wednesday added to it and then that

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 1: just adds to what has already been a crazy season

122
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 1: in terms of guys coming and going off the active roster.

123
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have seventy nine players that have played this year.

124
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,600
Speaker 1: It's the most of the NFL, and it's the second

125
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: most in the league since as far back as the

126
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 1: stats go on the official NFL site, Miami had eighty

127
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: four players played last year. And that's what the Jaguar

128
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: is not even dealing with COVID issues really yet. So

129
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: this is a strange year in the league anyway. The

130
00:06:34,200 --> 00:06:36,479
Speaker 1: Jags have had so many guys coming and going, and

131
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,000
Speaker 1: that just feels like the way it's going to be

132
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: down the stretch to Yeah, I think it is such

133
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: a week to week league. And I know that's such

134
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: a cliche and that we've used it for years and

135
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 1: years in the NFL, but it it certainly rings true

136
00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:50,479
Speaker 1: this year. And um, you know, Baltimore obviously went through

137
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: it real bad on the other side with all their

138
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: COVID issues. Um, they've got everyone back but one as

139
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: of this as of Thursday, So you know, it's it's

140
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:02,760
Speaker 1: just that's the way it is this year, and you know,

141
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are gonna need guys to step up. You know,

142
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens are not gonna feel bad for anyone

143
00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: in terms of being shorthanded because they went through it. Uh,

144
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 1: they went through the ring or two. So that's the

145
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: way it is, JP, and that's a that's a big

146
00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: number of players set up playing, there's no doubt about that,

147
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: and I think that's a big indication as to why

148
00:07:23,080 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: they're won in twelve. But you want a little hope.

149
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: The last time these two teams played, I called the game.

150
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: We were in London and it was an absolute blowout

151
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,640
Speaker 1: and the Jags one running away so who knows a

152
00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: little scored three touchdowns. He's now playing for the Packers.

153
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 1: Big big punt. There's a lot of little plays in

154
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,239
Speaker 1: that game. It was a fun day. It was indeed,

155
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
