It ain't empty because I see 5 00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: a bunch of Teal colors over in the standing. Trevor's 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,559 Speaker 1: gonna take a knee.

He was in the middle of it, 9 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:45,440 Speaker 1: and I think he was letting these Tennessee Titans, no boys. 10 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,919 Speaker 1: I'm here, okay, and this is gonna be my division 11 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: in the future.

Hello and welcome to Thursday's edition of 17 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,120 Speaker 1: Drive Time from t I A A bank Field in Jacksonville. 18 00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: Brian Sexton alongside John Osier. You know John. Last week 19 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 1: after the Moss in Detroit, the week felt like it, 20 00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: I mean every day felt like Monday. You just it's 21 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,040 Speaker 1: tough to shake that hangover right this week. I mean 22 00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:46,160 Speaker 1: it's already Thursday. It feels like it's racing by. And 23 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 1: we worked for the team, so we want the team 24 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 1: to win, yes, but in our position there's a neutrality 25 00:01:55,720 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: too that you don't really get caught up in at 26 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: But what I loved about that clip we just showed um. 27 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 1: I went to the BCB gathering both Sea Gay gathering 28 00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,360 Speaker 1: in Nashville and talked to a lot of people who 29 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,840 Speaker 1: I consider friends after knowing them now for six seven years. 30 00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 1: They probably don't feel the same way about me, but 31 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:25,200 Speaker 1: a one way friendship has developed and the passion that 32 00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 1: they feel for it um to have the moments. I 33 00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,080 Speaker 1: haven't talked to any of them since the game, but 34 00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,800 Speaker 1: I can't imagine that they weren't watching Trevor go after 35 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,320 Speaker 1: the defensive lineman waved to the fans, pointed the scoreboard. Uh, 36 00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 1: they have their guy. The Jaguars have their guy. I 37 00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: wrote in quick thoughts this morning, if there was any 38 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 1: doubt that he was that this was his team, And 39 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: I didn't really extend it to this, but his fan base, 40 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:58,119 Speaker 1: his It ended right there. This kid is fun, he's competitive, 41 00:02:58,160 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: he does it the right way. He's got a little 42 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,520 Speaker 1: sas to him. It's gonna be fun around here for 43 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 1: a while with this kid. Yeah, you know, this could 44 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,079 Speaker 1: be the start of something big. I mean, you can 45 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,520 Speaker 1: sense that. And I go back to yesterday's conversation with 46 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 1: Brian Broadus from one oh five three the Fan in 47 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:17,760 Speaker 1: Dallas talking about Jacksonville being that Green Bay kind of 48 00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: market in the South, you know, the one horse town, 49 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: and it's small, but the fan base is passionate. And 50 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,160 Speaker 1: when they show up in places like Nashville or Tampa 51 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,040 Speaker 1: a couple of years ago, they go somewhere every year, 52 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: you can see the genesis of it. What they needed 53 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: was someone like Trevor to just make it all fall 54 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: into place. And it was a cool moment of there 55 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,160 Speaker 1: of And when you're in the press box that's where 56 00:03:42,160 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: it's air conditioned or heated, depending on the situations, it's fantastic. 57 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: I could live there, um, but you don't feel it. 58 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,360 Speaker 1: As as I've gotten away from the day and seeing 59 00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 1: more clips and talk to more people, there really was 60 00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 1: a feeling of all right, We're done being kicked around 61 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: no more. This is gonna be ours now, and if 62 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: it's not ours, you're not gonna take it from It's 63 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:16,400 Speaker 1: easy anymore. And I thought that's what the scoreboard look was. 64 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,480 Speaker 1: It was a little it was a little juvenile and sassy. 65 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,240 Speaker 1: But I like that well, and it's allowed us to 66 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: kind of hang on to it, you know, It's made 67 00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 1: it fun to chew on all week long. So big 68 00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:28,760 Speaker 1: shout out to Trent and the crew that puts that 69 00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 1: all together, all the photographers in the Jaguars production department. 70 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: They got great shots of all of it, and you 71 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,080 Speaker 1: can see the entire sounds of the game on Jaguars 72 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 1: dot Com. Trent's right over there by the way. He's 73 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,400 Speaker 1: pretending he didn't hear you a bit he heard well, 74 00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:43,320 Speaker 1: he's you know, easily to the last. He's sensitive to 75 00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: his name being called. Um. I'm sensitive to the fact 76 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,599 Speaker 1: that it's time to move on because the Cowboys present 77 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: a huge challenge on Sunday for the Jaguars in another 78 00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,520 Speaker 1: moment that the fans can celebrate a week before Christmas. 79 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: So let's roll right into big things here on the 80 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:59,640 Speaker 1: Cur's Day, and we'll start with a different Doug. Look, Hey, 81 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:04,400 Speaker 1: Doug has never been the guy who talks about running 82 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: the ball and how many runs and balance and all 83 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: of that. He's a guy who likes to throw the ball. 84 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:14,240 Speaker 1: He's a former quarterback after all, and he understands modern offense. However, yesterday, 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:16,080 Speaker 1: talking to the media, he did hint that it might 86 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,039 Speaker 1: be a little something different on Sunday. You need more, 87 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,960 Speaker 1: you need more out of out of the run game. Um, 88 00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,600 Speaker 1: you know, you probably need that thirty yards. You know, 89 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 1: you need to somehow slow the pass rushdown. You've you've 90 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 1: got to be able to do that. And you know, um, 91 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:37,000 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes even the mindset of playing ball control, 92 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 1: you know, and keeping the ball out of their hands. 93 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,760 Speaker 1: It's an explosive offense. You're always going to play teams 94 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,679 Speaker 1: that are, you know, really good run defensive stopping units, 95 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,480 Speaker 1: which we've had the last couple of weeks. This is 96 00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: another one that you know is doing a pretty good 97 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,320 Speaker 1: job in the in the run game. But you know, 98 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: we just gotta we just gotta maybe call a few 99 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: more um and then execute a little the better big 100 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 1: thing two is better take two to chin straps to 101 00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: aspirin before the game. The Cowboys are a team that 102 00:06:07,640 --> 00:06:10,120 Speaker 1: runs the ball with two running backs. They average a 103 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: hundred and forty four point five yards per game. Each 104 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:14,880 Speaker 1: of the running backs is on pace for a thousand 105 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 1: yards each already has nine touchdowns. That's the engine that 106 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: makes this go. You see the big highlights of Ceedee 107 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,840 Speaker 1: Lamb making the dramatic catch down the field, but it's 108 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: those two running backs that make it go. We'll show 109 00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:27,440 Speaker 1: you that in just a moment. First, though, let's go 110 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:32,560 Speaker 1: to Big Thing three, which is towards a Thursday before Christmas. Uh, 111 00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: here we go, folks. I mean, the intensity of this 112 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:38,280 Speaker 1: game goes far beyond the fact that it's the Dallas 113 00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 1: Cowboys making only their second ever visit here to Jacksonville 114 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,680 Speaker 1: to play a football game. The first was Opening Day 115 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: two thousand six, so it's been a while. The other 116 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 1: side of the coin is that it's a big game. 117 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: It's meaningful football. And we talked back around Auto training 118 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:56,360 Speaker 1: camp right in the preseason, just give us some meaningful 119 00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 1: football games around Thanksgiving. Here we are now with a big, 120 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 1: meaningful football game the Sunday before Christmas. Players understand what 121 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: that means. We're excited about the sold out crowd. This 122 00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: is the type of environment that we've hoped for back 123 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 1: in China Camp, and now we're at an opportunity that 124 00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,040 Speaker 1: we have to play meaningful games this late in the 125 00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:21,280 Speaker 1: year some special man and and I think everything that 126 00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,000 Speaker 1: we're doing now it's you know, it's it's a part 127 00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: of what the steps that we had to do to 128 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Speaker 1: grow their organization other team. So uh, like I said 129 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 1: in that earlier we're excited about it, and it's just 130 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,440 Speaker 1: the next opportunity, the next man. All Right, those are 131 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,160 Speaker 1: big things. John, just talking to folks around the building. 132 00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,640 Speaker 1: The crowd we're gonna see here on Sunday is going 133 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,520 Speaker 1: to be reminiscent of the Patriots in two thousand eighteen. 134 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 1: Some of the Steelers games throughout the years some of 135 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 1: the biggest, boldest crowds that all tell Stadium, Jackson Movie, 136 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: Municipal Stadium. Now t i a a bank Field has 137 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: ever seen. It's going to be a huge event of 138 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: a game. Yeah, and it's gonna be Cowboys fans. They're 139 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 1: and but guess what, there's Cowboys fans in every stadium 140 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,200 Speaker 1: in the league when they play. That's how it is. 141 00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,880 Speaker 1: I I said a couple of times. I said on 142 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: our podcast yesterday with Bucky Brooks. Bucky Brooks Bee, Bucky 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: brook Well, it's his show, his town. Um, I think 144 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 1: it's gonna be Cowboy fans. But I don't doubt for 145 00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:25,120 Speaker 1: a minute that the Jaguars fans here are going to 146 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,440 Speaker 1: be the dominant presence. And uh, they're gonna be. Now. 147 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:30,840 Speaker 1: They've got continued to earn that throughout the game because 148 00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 1: if if you're down by a Tanner, that can be 149 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:34,640 Speaker 1: the dominant presence. But I think the Jaguars fans are 150 00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 1: gonna come out in force. I think they're ready. I 151 00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 1: think there's an enthusiasm about this team. I think it's 152 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: gonna be excited. All right, Let's go back to the 153 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:44,080 Speaker 1: running game. Because Doug talked about having to have hud 154 00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:47,200 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty yards and earlier this year you couldn't 155 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: get him to give you a number. He didn't want 156 00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: to be pinned into a balanced kind of conversation. But 157 00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: just look here. The Jaguars over the last four games 158 00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 1: have only averaged sixty seven rushing yards per game. Now, 159 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,199 Speaker 1: part of that you can say is falling behind in 160 00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 1: Kansas City and Detroit. And obviously that's the case Baltimore 161 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,320 Speaker 1: that you know you lose Travis e t and so 162 00:09:09,360 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 1: you only get thirty eight, So there is some circumstantial 163 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:15,320 Speaker 1: evidence for why that that number would be low. But 164 00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: there there's a seventy one and a half yard per 165 00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,719 Speaker 1: game differential between what they're getting on the ground and 166 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 1: their ability to have control of the ball and the 167 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,839 Speaker 1: clock as opposed to you see what the defense Unfortunately 168 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 1: the last four games has not been very good stopping 169 00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: the run. Yeah, I was trying to figure out the 170 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,280 Speaker 1: graphic here, but it's a good graphic because it obviously 171 00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: shows the drop off. I think the drop off primarily 172 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: it is not necessarily uh effort or commitment to it. 173 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,880 Speaker 1: I think it's more they haven't broken big runs um. 174 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,600 Speaker 1: For the first eight or nine games of the season, 175 00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: it was remarkable how often you saw E t and 176 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:01,719 Speaker 1: a run and then they broke uple for j Rob 177 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 1: when he was here. But Travis etn was breaking nine 178 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,760 Speaker 1: yard iss runs with remarkable consistency. That hasn't been there 179 00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:13,599 Speaker 1: the last four weeks. I think some of that is 180 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:19,040 Speaker 1: sort of UM. I don't say luck, but it's tough 181 00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: to pop him in this league, and sometimes it takes 182 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 1: one maybe you're one play away from popping it. I 183 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 1: believe it's a key this week. I don't necessarily think 184 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:35,040 Speaker 1: it's gonna be six carries anywhere from three to eight 185 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:37,160 Speaker 1: where you get that kind of number. I think e 186 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: Tn is gonna need to pop a couple. Uh. If 187 00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: he breaks two over twenty five, I think they can 188 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: win the game. And it seems like a lot, but 189 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:52,199 Speaker 1: there's been games this year Washington, I think in Indianapolis 190 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 1: he did it, multiple games where he's done that. I 191 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:56,440 Speaker 1: think they're gonna need those sort of big plays from him. 192 00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 1: Worth pointing out that the Ravens and the Titans both 193 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 1: top five against the run on Sunday, Dallas not top five. 194 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: They give up a lot of rushing yards about a 195 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,040 Speaker 1: hundred and thirty per game, so perhaps the chance to 196 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: break one will be there. Now, here's why Doug needs 197 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,240 Speaker 1: bull control. Right, and let's show you the graphic of 198 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: the comparison with these two running backs from the Dallas 199 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:20,160 Speaker 1: Cowboys and Pollard and Elliott. You can see right, they're 200 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920 Speaker 1: both averaging more than four yards per carry, both with 201 00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:28,160 Speaker 1: nine touchdowns. They're different runners, but they're both capable of 202 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,520 Speaker 1: beating you. And so my question to you is can 203 00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:36,520 Speaker 1: the Jaguars stop the Cowboys rushing attack? Well? Um, I 204 00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:39,280 Speaker 1: don't know that they can stop it in the sense 205 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,680 Speaker 1: that when you look at the stats at the end 206 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 1: of the game, you're gonna see them both under thirty 207 00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,360 Speaker 1: five yards. I don't know if it's it's me that 208 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 1: kind of stopped. I think what they can do is 209 00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: is stopped them enough. And in some situations, say, for example, 210 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,559 Speaker 1: they have three drives where the Cowboys really get it going, 211 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:03,400 Speaker 1: and those drives could very conceivably created for yards rushing. 212 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,200 Speaker 1: If on three or four other drives you get a 213 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,960 Speaker 1: big first down, stop your second, and nine, you force 214 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: them into passing situation, you get them out of it, 215 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,000 Speaker 1: then you're you know, it's the only thing. I don't 216 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,800 Speaker 1: think his defense is going to be a dominant defense 217 00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,720 Speaker 1: for twelve series of game. But if they can get 218 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 1: four or five big stops to get them off the 219 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 1: field and situations, I think they can stop the run 220 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: that way. I think I thinks are probably too good 221 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: to think that you're gonna have a huge number that's 222 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:33,120 Speaker 1: on Sports Center. Hey they did this. But I think 223 00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,960 Speaker 1: you can stop them enough to get control of the 224 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:37,679 Speaker 1: game the way you need to get control of it. 225 00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,360 Speaker 1: All right, when week come back, we'll take you around 226 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: the Jaguars locker room on the Wednesday of this very busy, energetic, 227 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: an exciting week for the Jaguars in their fans around 228 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:49,760 Speaker 1: the locker room is next on Jags Drive Time. Here 229 00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: on a Thursday morning from t I A. A Bank 230 00:12:51,960 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: Field in Jacksonville. Jack's Drive Time on a Thursday is 231 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:08,079 Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends at the Fields Auto Group. 232 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 1: Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. Step up to luxury visit Fields 233 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:16,280 Speaker 1: Auto dot Com. Brian and John back we here Jack's 234 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:19,240 Speaker 1: Drive Time. We're in Jacksonville awaiting the arrival of the 235 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,040 Speaker 1: Cowboys this week, first time they've been here since two 236 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: thousand and six, and of course a huge crowd is 237 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240 Speaker 1: expected at the stadium. Now you can't go anywhere in 238 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: this town this week, which is what makes it fun 239 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: without people wanting to talk about this game, and the 240 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 1: players also are excited to talk about this. We went 241 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:39,520 Speaker 1: around the locker room and let's start with Josh Allen, 242 00:13:39,800 --> 00:13:42,720 Speaker 1: who knows what this defense needs to do to keep 243 00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: it going. That's what we uh, that's what we part 244 00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 1: ourselves or miss defense man is this to get the ball, 245 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: but it's gonna take all eleven And that was that. 246 00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,959 Speaker 1: That was you know the core. The core messages to 247 00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 1: the defense man. We all have to put all the eleven, 248 00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:00,599 Speaker 1: especially this game, and this is another a tunity that 249 00:14:00,720 --> 00:14:03,040 Speaker 1: we can have a game like this. Uh they you know, 250 00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:05,920 Speaker 1: the Cowboys are really good team front end and back end, 251 00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 1: so we all have to be locked in. The communication 252 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:10,439 Speaker 1: is going to be key. We all gotta get to 253 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:13,679 Speaker 1: that ball, we gotta stop the run, and then we 254 00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: gotta rush the passage. So we're excited about this matchup. 255 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:20,600 Speaker 1: Pretty much says play good defense. But it goes back 256 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 1: to the takeaways creating the turnover's job, which early in 257 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: the season, when this defense was playing at a high level, 258 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,520 Speaker 1: was the case. They got off to a hot start, 259 00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 1: they gotta stay hot. Now, yeah, it's been turnovers all year. 260 00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 1: I made the case the last couple of weeks. I 261 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,960 Speaker 1: don't think this defense has regressed lately. I think it's 262 00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,280 Speaker 1: been what it has been most of the season. A 263 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: defense that has some troubles in the back end and 264 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,800 Speaker 1: doesn't rush the pastor at an absolutely elite level in 265 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: the NFL. But when they get takeaways and they take 266 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,040 Speaker 1: advantage of the opportunities they get, they do get some 267 00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: energy and they play much better. It can be an 268 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,760 Speaker 1: effective defense to help them win games if it plays 269 00:14:59,800 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: like did last week, which is other that these are 270 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: a lot of credit last week for continuing to believe 271 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: in themselves even when maybe circumstances could have told them 272 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,240 Speaker 1: that they shouldn't. I mean, Derrick Henry was running and 273 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: the Titans were running. They had fourteen points, and yet 274 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: the defense kept playing hard. They kept believing in what 275 00:15:18,680 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 1: they were and then they started getting turnovers. Uh doing 276 00:15:22,080 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: made a play. Trayvon made a play, And it's sort 277 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: of what I talked about. I think the Cowboys cast 278 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 1: some effective drives, but if this defense continues to believe 279 00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: it can stop him, get some early stops on first down, 280 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 1: get him in situations, you can get them off the 281 00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: field enough. That's what complementary football is. When you're not 282 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:42,040 Speaker 1: a dominant unit. They're not there yet, but they can 283 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,400 Speaker 1: get there enough to win this game if they do 284 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: the things we're talking about. Well, I just asked you 285 00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: off the top of the show. Can the Jaguars stop 286 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,520 Speaker 1: this Dallas Cowboys running offense with those two backs averaging 287 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: almost a hundred and forty five rushing yards per game. 288 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: So let's hear from Jaguars middle linebacker foy Alukon, who 289 00:15:59,840 --> 00:16:03,040 Speaker 1: just happens to be the NFL's leading tackler through thirteen games. 290 00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Can they get this job done? Know? Um Zekeo kind 291 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: of grinds you down. I think he's very explosive to be. 292 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: His moves of his own polot can slash. He has moves. 293 00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: I mean they're very too talented. Uh nice little stab 294 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: where they got there, kind of feed off each other. 295 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: Run well, um, you know, with one eats, the other, 296 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,440 Speaker 1: one's gonna eat you know right after that just couldn't 297 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,560 Speaker 1: brings a little bit different kind of paste to it. 298 00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:29,360 Speaker 1: So really eleven is one. I mean, that's how to 299 00:16:29,400 --> 00:16:30,960 Speaker 1: stop a run game. Getting your gap and get to 300 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: the ball. If one of them cuts it back, have 301 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,680 Speaker 1: the next guy cleaned it up. Mrs Tackle, somebody cleaned 302 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 1: it up like everybody hunting like we did last game. 303 00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:39,920 Speaker 1: Get to the ball from the from the first quarter 304 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: of the last quarter. Be challenged. Because that offensive line 305 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: for the Cowboys, even though it's not as good as 306 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,320 Speaker 1: the great Cowboy lines of the last ten years have been, 307 00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: still has talented guys like Zack Martin who can get 308 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:55,160 Speaker 1: out and make trouble for you. Well, they're good and 309 00:16:55,200 --> 00:16:57,920 Speaker 1: they can run, block, and they can dominate the game. 310 00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,920 Speaker 1: As he said again, I keep saying it over and 311 00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:02,960 Speaker 1: over again, but I truly believe the key is going 312 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: to be how they play on first down. Can they 313 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: get them into bad down distant situations and allow them 314 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,439 Speaker 1: to rush the passer and not always. You cannot be 315 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: in second and six, third and two over and over 316 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,320 Speaker 1: and over again, because then it will get numbing and 317 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:20,320 Speaker 1: and they will be in control of the game. Uh, 318 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,720 Speaker 1: They've got to get some penetration and make plays on 319 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: first down. I mean, frankly to the point where he 320 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,880 Speaker 1: doesn't have to make the plays all the time. Get 321 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,199 Speaker 1: the penetration and take the middle linebacker out of it. 322 00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,880 Speaker 1: Defensive line has to penetrate and I trip these guys 323 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: up before they get to the line. Report Lawrence has 324 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,160 Speaker 1: been the talk of the town for that matter. He's 325 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: been the talk of the league this week, coming off 326 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:44,800 Speaker 1: his three hundred and sixty eight yard, three touchdown, one 327 00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 1: rushing touchdown performance. He has been as good as a 328 00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,639 Speaker 1: quarterback as there is in football over the last five weeks, 329 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,639 Speaker 1: and Evan Ingram was the beneficiary. On Sunday in Nashville, 330 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:57,200 Speaker 1: catching a Jaguars record by one yard over Pete Mitchell's 331 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yard record, now the record holder 332 00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: from most yards by a tight end of an Ingram's 333 00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 1: big game in Nashville with one and sixty two. He 334 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:08,760 Speaker 1: shared some thoughts on his perspective of young Trevor Lawrence 335 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: thirteen weeks into this season, each a little bump in 336 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,480 Speaker 1: order the experience he's learned from he's grow from. Um 337 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:19,040 Speaker 1: and Uh, and he became a stronger player, a stronger teammate, 338 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: um and uh, a better person of the two. Um. 339 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: And he's just being himself. Uh. He's playing for swagger 340 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,480 Speaker 1: and he's playing with confidence. Um. You know we feed 341 00:18:28,480 --> 00:18:30,840 Speaker 1: off him. I know he feeds off of us too. 342 00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,560 Speaker 1: So UM, the sky's a limit for him. UM. And 343 00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,960 Speaker 1: it's I know that because I just know how he works. 344 00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:37,439 Speaker 1: I see I see how he works and how he 345 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,000 Speaker 1: pairs and how he carries himself. UM, it's really cool 346 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:41,920 Speaker 1: to see. It's it's it's it's a blessing and it's 347 00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 1: a privilege to be part of. For sure. There is 348 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:48,239 Speaker 1: something to the sense these guys get when they know 349 00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: their quarterback is that good. It's Uh, it's everything. I 350 00:18:53,600 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 1: mean you Uh, when he plays like that, I they 351 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:06,679 Speaker 1: know they have a chance in every game and throughout 352 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,240 Speaker 1: the course of since I've been following the league, when 353 00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,080 Speaker 1: teams have quarterbacks like that, they never think they're out 354 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 1: of it. It raises the level. I think it raises 355 00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: what we were talking about the other day with the defense. 356 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 1: You know, it's much easier to play defense and continue 357 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,199 Speaker 1: to play hard even when you are giving up some 358 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: points if you know the quarterbacks keeping you in it, 359 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,119 Speaker 1: and just one play that you make can be the 360 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: difference in the game. Uh, they know what special is 361 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,520 Speaker 1: and what's not. I mean when I was with the Colts, 362 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:39,080 Speaker 1: for example, Peyton Manning was not always the most popular 363 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 1: guy in the locker room because he led uh very strictly. 364 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:47,560 Speaker 1: Sometimes you know, he expected a lot of teammates and uh, 365 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: you don't always love that. But they knew they needed 366 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 1: him on that wall, so to speak. To use the 367 00:19:54,880 --> 00:20:01,040 Speaker 1: only Jack Nichols um so, and you never doubted the direction. 368 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: You never doubted if you have a chance, And that 369 00:20:03,640 --> 00:20:05,360 Speaker 1: carried him to a lot of games they shouldn't have won. 370 00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: Um And I can compared. I'm not gonna compare Trevor 371 00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: to Peyton yet because Peyton did it over the course 372 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: of his career. He's a rushmore reatomy, but he's showing traits. 373 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: They're both were sixteen. Oh yes they did, Yes, they did. 374 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: All right, let's go back to the dominant theme this 375 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:22,399 Speaker 1: week beyond Trevor and that is a big game and 376 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:26,200 Speaker 1: one of the most intense Jaguars is left tackle Cam Robinson. 377 00:20:26,240 --> 00:20:28,119 Speaker 1: He's that guy who shows up ready to bring it 378 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,320 Speaker 1: on every single play, a tempo setter, if you will, 379 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:34,640 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars will obviously need him to feed off 380 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: this crowd and to play his best football on Sunday. 381 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,480 Speaker 1: And it sounds like he's ready. Yeah, I know, he 382 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 1: gets I only I don't think people. I mean just 383 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,159 Speaker 1: kind of because of the way he's been around in 384 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:46,680 Speaker 1: the past few years. I think people understand that when 385 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:48,239 Speaker 1: when the stadium gets full of and when they kind 386 00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:49,879 Speaker 1: of gets going, it gets going. I mean, we're in 387 00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: Florida and it's this football country. So whenever the football 388 00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: teams a roll and it's it's always fun. You know. 389 00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: They picked the bank out in this loud and this 390 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: um it's a great environment. He is one of those 391 00:21:01,280 --> 00:21:04,920 Speaker 1: guys one of those key guys that um brings the intensity. 392 00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:11,680 Speaker 1: Remember in seventeen when he was a rookie, Nate Hackett told, 393 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: you know, at the offensive coordinated time, told me he 394 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:17,760 Speaker 1: was absolutely critical to their offense. And it was rookie 395 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:20,760 Speaker 1: left tackle. And at times he played okay, played you 396 00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:24,000 Speaker 1: know whatever, And it wasn't necessarily what he did in 397 00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: terms of playing, but he was the guy who went 398 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: and I defended teammates when there was you know, a scrap. 399 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,640 Speaker 1: He was the guy the spiritual leader of the team already, 400 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,879 Speaker 1: if you will. And I think because he doesn't do 401 00:21:37,960 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: a whole lot of media like that, he doesn't really 402 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 1: effort to put himself out there. I think sometimes fans 403 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:49,760 Speaker 1: might not really uh sense that about him, how important 404 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,960 Speaker 1: he is to the spirit. Hate the word spirit, but 405 00:21:54,480 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 1: in this case the spirit and the moxie of the team. 406 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 1: Cam's a big on that front. All right. That'll do 407 00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 1: it for around the locker room when we come back. 408 00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: He will, he won't, he might.

And that means he will, he won't, 421 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:07,439 Speaker 1: he might, and John will start with you, and I 422 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,280 Speaker 1: kind of went chalkare I went Trevor Lawrence, which uh, 423 00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:12,120 Speaker 1: I usually don't do with this. You try to pick 424 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:16,960 Speaker 1: somebody who's not really a major storyline. But uh, he 425 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:20,160 Speaker 1: will be such a key to the game that I'm 426 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 1: not sure you can ignore him this week. Um, I 427 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: think he'll play well. I think we're beyond having to 428 00:23:25,119 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: worry about, you know, disastrous games from him. Uh. He 429 00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: won't match his numbers from last week because they were 430 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,880 Speaker 1: pretty staggering. I think the Cowboys defense is better than 431 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:44,680 Speaker 1: the Titans defense, but he might be the factor that 432 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: allows them to win. And by saying that, I mean 433 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,399 Speaker 1: more than just this game. He might be at the 434 00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 1: point of his career where he's the reason that they 435 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:01,040 Speaker 1: can go win these kind of games. Uh, it doesn't 436 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 1: always happen, even for the elite guys. Uh. I don't 437 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:08,960 Speaker 1: know that that two months ago we would have sat 438 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,840 Speaker 1: here and said that about him, that hey, they have 439 00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: a chance to go win this game because they have 440 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:18,600 Speaker 1: sixteen on the roster um that has been sort of 441 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,679 Speaker 1: building over the last four or five weeks. But I 442 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,439 Speaker 1: think all of a sudden, now you're sitting here on 443 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: a Thursday and saying, why did the Jars have a 444 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,720 Speaker 1: chance to win this game? And the number one reason 445 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:31,800 Speaker 1: it's because they have Terbor Lawrence. That's a huge difference. 446 00:24:31,920 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: And h regardless of what happens on Sunday, the fact 447 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:40,639 Speaker 1: that you can say that changes the dynamic of this 448 00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:45,919 Speaker 1: franchise dramatically from what it was. Well, just his the 449 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,960 Speaker 1: approach that he brings right, the entire approach. Yesterday, he 450 00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,240 Speaker 1: stood in his press conference and talked about that interception 451 00:24:51,240 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: that he threw in the red zone in London against 452 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:55,920 Speaker 1: Denver and how he felt after the game. I mean 453 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: he's He's just such a pure competitor in that standpoint, 454 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:01,639 Speaker 1: you don't have to get at what drives him. He's 455 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:05,120 Speaker 1: about football and his teammates know that as well. So 456 00:25:05,600 --> 00:25:08,280 Speaker 1: I'll go with that understated storyline that you were talking about. 457 00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:12,920 Speaker 1: I'll go with Luke Fortner, the Jaguars rookie center from Kentucky. Uh. 458 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:16,280 Speaker 1: He will be a huge reason why the Jaguars do 459 00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,679 Speaker 1: or do not protect Trevor Lawrence on Sunday, not just 460 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,239 Speaker 1: because he's one of five, but because the center, as 461 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:24,400 Speaker 1: you know, is the quarterback of the offensive line, and 462 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:29,439 Speaker 1: this Cowboys defense is second to the Eagles with forty 463 00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,679 Speaker 1: eight sacks. And just watching Phil Rauscher in the portion 464 00:25:33,840 --> 00:25:37,080 Speaker 1: of the media time on the practice field yesterday and 465 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 1: the intensity with which he was talking about where everybody 466 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: lines up and how things change fast. This rookie center's 467 00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: got to have his head on a swivel. He's got 468 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,480 Speaker 1: to be very well prepared. I say he will be 469 00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: on Sunday. He won't be a guy that anybody talks 470 00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:53,560 Speaker 1: about after the game. They'll be talking if the Jaguars 471 00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:57,359 Speaker 1: win about Trevor Or Travis or Josh Allen or an 472 00:25:57,359 --> 00:26:02,160 Speaker 1: interception from Uh from Campbell. I'm telling you though he 473 00:26:02,480 --> 00:26:04,520 Speaker 1: he won't be talked about, but he might be the 474 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:08,000 Speaker 1: reason why they win, John, because Trevor Lawrence is. If 475 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence is the best, most important reason why they 476 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,960 Speaker 1: have a chance to win. I think Luke Fortner has 477 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:17,600 Speaker 1: got to be number two. Are close to it because 478 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,000 Speaker 1: he's the guy who is going to make sure that 479 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,600 Speaker 1: Trevor is protected by seeing what the cowboys are doing 480 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 1: and the time that he prepares this week in the 481 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:29,400 Speaker 1: film room. Hi, all right, and with that we'll take 482 00:26:29,440 --> 00:26:35,520 Speaker 1: our last break and when we come back Monday's headlines Today, 483 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:43,600 Speaker 1: Sunday's game against Dallas is presented by our friends at 484 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: renewal by Anderson.

You know what it says a lot. 488 00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:01,960 Speaker 1: I mean, these guys work hard together, they practice well. Um, 489 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,560 Speaker 1: you know, it starts with Luke inside with communication and 490 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: and uh spreads from there, you know, and and and 491 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 1: really all five guys have played played really well, played 492 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: solid and consistent, and that's what you can ask you 493 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:17,239 Speaker 1: know of their offensive line to do and um, you know, 494 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 1: they pride themselves on trying to keep the quarterback clean 495 00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:23,360 Speaker 1: if possible. John on Sunday in Nashville, the Jaguars kept 496 00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: him clean. That is, no sacks allowed for the sixth 497 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,560 Speaker 1: time this season, which is the most in the NFL 498 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:33,760 Speaker 1: this season. Yeah, and a franchise record. They've had a 499 00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:38,800 Speaker 1: strange year because they're a good group and they've gotten 500 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: too much criticism for a long time, and they get 501 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,920 Speaker 1: christicized a little bit this year because people chrisize the 502 00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 1: offensive line. They either give up zero or they give 503 00:27:46,560 --> 00:27:50,920 Speaker 1: up a couple, um, and it's hard to kind of 504 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: explain why that is. I think Trevor has helped them. 505 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,320 Speaker 1: I think he gets rid of the ball quicker. I 506 00:27:55,320 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 1: think any line is going to be helped by a 507 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,520 Speaker 1: quarterback with pocket awareness that's in, that's improve moving. Uh. 508 00:28:01,640 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: I mean, overall, I give up twenty three sacks, is 509 00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 1: here that this is a good unit that is come 510 00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 1: and in two of those cases right, So they gave 511 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: up four to the Eagles, and the Eagles had a 512 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,800 Speaker 1: big lead in the second half, so they were able 513 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:15,480 Speaker 1: to do the same thing with Kansas City they gave 514 00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: up five to Kansas City, and Kansas City had a 515 00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:20,639 Speaker 1: big lead, and they were able to send Chris Jones, 516 00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 1: and they created a lot of situations on the road. Yeah, 517 00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 1: I mean that all. And that's nine of the three 518 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: and and Detroit got got too and one of those 519 00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:31,959 Speaker 1: was just trash time, I mean at the very end 520 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,400 Speaker 1: of the ball game. So they've been pretty good this year. 521 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: They're gonna have to be really good on Sunday because 522 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: Mica Parsons is a guy who makes your head turn 523 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 1: and an old fan Dante Fowler is uh is doing 524 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,760 Speaker 1: pretty well for them in the run and stay ahead 525 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:49,440 Speaker 1: and the past thresh gets a lot harder to do 526 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: on the other side. Got a headline for well, wait, 527 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,640 Speaker 1: hold on, we have a nifty little jingle here. It's 528 00:28:55,680 --> 00:29:03,120 Speaker 1: time for Monday's headlines today, All right, what you got? Well, 529 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,160 Speaker 1: if they win, that's the headline. Welcome to the future. 530 00:29:06,560 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 1: So that there. But I think that this wouldn't be 531 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,520 Speaker 1: the headline, but I think it's gonna be the theme 532 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: if you will, uh, one last hiccup, And because I 533 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:23,040 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys might be a little too much on 534 00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:25,960 Speaker 1: Sunday for the jag Wars yet to be because I 535 00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:29,120 Speaker 1: think the Cowboys are really really good. That being said, 536 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:33,080 Speaker 1: I they have three more after that. If they don't 537 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: win this, they're not It's not done. And I think 538 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: they're going to run the table after this game and 539 00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,720 Speaker 1: make it very interesting at the end this game. Whatever 540 00:29:42,760 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 1: happens here. Uh, unless the Titans go out and beat 541 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: the Charges, which I don't think they will. Uh, everything 542 00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: is still the same after this game for the Jaguars, 543 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:53,720 Speaker 1: and I'll give you one on the winning end of it, 544 00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: right because I think that Trevor Lawrence, I know that 545 00:29:56,280 --> 00:29:58,960 Speaker 1: the defense is better than the Titans defense, though Brian 546 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: broad has told us yesterday that the secondary that got 547 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: some issues back there. Um, I'll say his star is Teal, 548 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 1: and that is I expect Trevor Lawrence to have a 549 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:12,280 Speaker 1: huge game. Not it might not be yards and three touchdowns, 550 00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: but you will feel his presence in this ball game. 551 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:16,920 Speaker 1: And I don't think that the Cowboys run away with it. 552 00:30:16,960 --> 00:30:19,200 Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars have an opportunity in the fourth 553 00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:22,240 Speaker 1: quarter and whether they win or whether they lose, his 554 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:27,440 Speaker 1: star is Teal. As a playoff of the Silver Blue Stone. Yeah, 555 00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,760 Speaker 1: I should clarify, I've I've picked against the Jags a 556 00:30:30,800 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: lot this year, probably because it makes it more interesting 557 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,840 Speaker 1: because we're all talking about Um. I came really close 558 00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:39,840 Speaker 1: to pick him this week. I there's something about this 559 00:30:39,920 --> 00:30:42,400 Speaker 1: team right now, and I know, I'm mean, you know, 560 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,680 Speaker 1: it takes you back to there was something about that 561 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:46,680 Speaker 1: team too that you couldn't put your finger on, but 562 00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,520 Speaker 1: they just found a way to get it done. Um. 563 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:54,200 Speaker 1: So I really like the Cowboys overall. They're good. I'm 564 00:30:54,680 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: I'm picking them, but it would not surprise me if 565 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,520 Speaker 1: we're sitting you're talking about it when on Monday. All right, 566 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,520 Speaker 1: and that'll do it. Jags Drive Time on a Thursday. 567 00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:07,320 Speaker 1: Thanks to John and to Joe and Reber and Choe 568 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,800 Speaker 1: and our entire crew here for a good week on 569 00:31:09,960 --> 00:31:12,040 Speaker 1: Drive Time.
