1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,800 Speaker 1: JP Shadwick w withd you with our countdown to Kickoff 2 00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:06,479 Speaker 1: interviews ahead of the Jaguars Colts matchup in week seventeen. 3 00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:09,960 Speaker 1: Let's start with the Endie perspective. The voice of the Colts, 4 00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,240 Speaker 1: Matt Taylor, shares what forty four year old quarterback Philip 5 00:00:13,320 --> 00:00:14,680 Speaker 1: Rivers brings to the table. 6 00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:17,840 Speaker 2: Well, Philip Rivers still has his mind, and that's his 7 00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:21,120 Speaker 2: strongest muscle still to this point at age forty four. 8 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:24,279 Speaker 2: I mean, honestly, I mean he's the walking embodiment or 9 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 2: the living embodiment in this case of just how much 10 00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:29,960 Speaker 2: you know, I think the game is ninety percent mental 11 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,560 Speaker 2: and ten percent physical. I mean, I don't think there's 12 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,599 Speaker 2: any other way you can explain how a forty four 13 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 2: year old quarterback who hasn't played in you know, prior 14 00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:41,520 Speaker 2: to the game a couple of weeks ago in Seattle 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:45,000 Speaker 2: in eighteen hundred days comes in and almost leads that 16 00:00:45,080 --> 00:00:47,760 Speaker 2: team to a win on the road and that environment, 17 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,120 Speaker 2: and then comes back, you know, six or seven days 18 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,800 Speaker 2: later and is able to throw for two seventy seven 19 00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:55,960 Speaker 2: in front of the world, in front of the national 20 00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: audience on Monday Night football. So I mean it's pretty 21 00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 2: remarkable stuff. And you know, as it relates to the team, 22 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:05,200 Speaker 2: it was unfortunate that Rivers played as well as he 23 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 2: did and as efficiently as he did and putting up 24 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,399 Speaker 2: twenty seven points and the Colts still lost by twenty 25 00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:15,039 Speaker 2: one because the defense played that bad on Monday night football. 26 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:17,600 Speaker 3: So you know, we can talk. 27 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,520 Speaker 2: About how the Colts got here and you know, all 28 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:21,919 Speaker 2: that stuff, just a quick history lesson. I mean, Daniel 29 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: Jones Terris is Achilles three weeks ago on that field 30 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:28,360 Speaker 2: against Jacksonville, and then I mean, you're you're in a 31 00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: tough spot. You lose your footing inside the AFC South. 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 2: Now you're looking up at the Jaguars inside the standings. 33 00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,600 Speaker 2: You know, the trade deadline is coming gone, it's early December. 34 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 2: Not a whole lot of viable options out there. That's 35 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,800 Speaker 2: how the Colts landed on Philip Rivers because of his 36 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:48,080 Speaker 2: you know, still his football IQ, his acumen, his experience 37 00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 2: with Shane Steich and knowing the playbook inside and out, 38 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:53,720 Speaker 2: and he also has a great familiarity with a lot 39 00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,800 Speaker 2: of the players that are still on this team, especially 40 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 2: on offense. I think there's whatever the number is like 41 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 2: fifteen total holdover teammates that are still here that were 42 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:05,720 Speaker 2: with them in twenty twenty when he quarterback the Colts 43 00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 2: to the playoffs. So he's been I think everything the 44 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:13,320 Speaker 2: Colts wanted and more given the circumstances happened to bring 45 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: him off the street. 46 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:15,519 Speaker 3: You know, two and a half weeks ago. 47 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 4: Bet Taylor willis voice of the Colts. 48 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: Last time out, the Jaguars defense did a pretty good 49 00:02:19,639 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: job against Taylor. 50 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 4: It's a different game. Quarterback was heard early. You know, 51 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:24,560 Speaker 4: a lot of changes there. 52 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: But what's the biggest concern for the Colts facing this 53 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: Jaguars defense. 54 00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,440 Speaker 3: Well, I think you hit the nail right in the head. 55 00:02:32,480 --> 00:02:35,640 Speaker 2: It's you need to establish to some degree, you need 56 00:02:35,680 --> 00:02:37,919 Speaker 2: to find some sort of substance in the running game 57 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: with Johnston Taylor. 58 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 3: I mean Taylor. 59 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,400 Speaker 2: He just hasn't been able to get going. In the 60 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 2: last six weeks. The Colts have lost five in a row. 61 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: He's been held under one hundred yards in all of 62 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 2: those games. You know, he had a decent rushing total 63 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,160 Speaker 2: against Jacksonville three weeks ago. He was in the seventies, 64 00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:01,320 Speaker 2: which I read where that's Jonathan Taylor is still the 65 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 2: only running back to go over seventy yards rushing against Jacksonville, 66 00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:05,760 Speaker 2: which just. 67 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:07,320 Speaker 3: Shows how good they are. 68 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 2: But you know, since I think everything, I think everything 69 00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280 Speaker 2: kind of changed for the Colts, you know, right around 70 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: that Berlin game when they played Atlanta overseas and come 71 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,960 Speaker 2: to find out, that was the game where Daniel Jones 72 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 2: sustained his injury with the fractured fibula, and ever since then, 73 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 2: you know, teams really were kind of coming closer to 74 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,320 Speaker 2: the line of scrimmage, playing the box, making sure they 75 00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: were taking Jonathan Taylor away first and foremost, and making 76 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones beat him through the air and playing tight 77 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 2: coverage on the outside, just making it really difficult in 78 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 2: the Colts on offense. And so they got to find 79 00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,120 Speaker 2: him some somehow, some way get him going in the 80 00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 2: running game. And that's the most impressive part for me, 81 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 2: is watching Jacksonville live and then also on tape in 82 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks. Is Yes, everybody knows they're 83 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 2: number one in the NFL and stopping the run right 84 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 2: around eighty seven yards per game, But to me, the 85 00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: most impressive part about their defense is just how physical 86 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,680 Speaker 2: they are. Right when they tackle you, you're down, Like 87 00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 2: when they touch you you don't go any further. They 88 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:15,280 Speaker 2: leave the NFL and fewest yards after contact allowed this season, 89 00:04:15,320 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 2: which is a big part of why that number is 90 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,719 Speaker 2: so good at being able to stop the run. They're 91 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:22,040 Speaker 2: really good in the back end too, because teams are 92 00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 2: in third and long a lot because they're not running 93 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,839 Speaker 2: the ball successfully on first and second down. So that's 94 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:31,080 Speaker 2: been a disappointing revelation the last six or seven games. 95 00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:35,479 Speaker 2: It's just Jonathan Taylor is disappearing or getting further and 96 00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 2: further away from the MVP candidate we saw him to 97 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 2: be in the first two months of the season. 98 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: Matt, what's left with this Colts defense? What are they 99 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: hanging their hat on right now? Buckner's done for the year, 100 00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: that was announced on Friday. Jaguars did what they did 101 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,800 Speaker 1: against him a few weeks ago. But what's some positive 102 00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: things about this defense? 103 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: Well, personnel wise, some positivity there is you're getting Sauce 104 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,479 Speaker 2: Gardner back for this game. He didn't play in the 105 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: first Backsonville game. He sustained a calf injury on the 106 00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: first series the game after Thanksgiving that Sunday after Thanksgiving 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 2: against the Houston Texans, and we haven't seen him since, 108 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,560 Speaker 2: and he's really been on the field off the field, 109 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 2: on the field off the field since the Colts made 110 00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 2: that trade for him the trade deadline, given up two 111 00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:18,359 Speaker 2: first round picks. 112 00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:21,000 Speaker 3: So he's going to be a welcome site for sore eyes. 113 00:05:21,839 --> 00:05:24,200 Speaker 2: Because the Colts, I mean, you talk about their calling 114 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 2: card and what they're hanging their hat on right now. 115 00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 3: Unfortunately, not too much. 116 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 2: There's no real better way to answer that other than 117 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,400 Speaker 2: they're not doing too much well right now. You know, 118 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,919 Speaker 2: they giving up you know, twenty eight or I should 119 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,159 Speaker 2: say forty eight points against San Francisco the other day 120 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:43,560 Speaker 2: and five passing touchdowns to brock Purty. I mean, the 121 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 2: biggest thing is they just haven't been able to quiet 122 00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:48,599 Speaker 2: down the big plays in the passing game. You know, 123 00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 2: during this five game losing skid, not to nerd out 124 00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: on you, JP, but they have given up thirty eight 125 00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:00,479 Speaker 2: pass completions over fifteen yards in that span. So you know, 126 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: the middle of the field is wide open. I think 127 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:06,120 Speaker 2: because of personnel or lack thereof, right you haven't been 128 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:10,239 Speaker 2: able to play with Tarvarius Ward and also Sauce Gardner 129 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:12,720 Speaker 2: these last couple of games. You know, the Colts are 130 00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,839 Speaker 2: I think they've shown a lot of reluctance to play 131 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 2: an aggressive press man the man on the outside, So 132 00:06:18,279 --> 00:06:20,720 Speaker 2: a lot of zone coverage middle of the field's been 133 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 2: there for receivers and tight ends, and that's just giving 134 00:06:24,160 --> 00:06:26,680 Speaker 2: up too much of a high volume number for the 135 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 2: Colts in the passing game. 136 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 1: On defense lately, Brian Sexton with a pair of interviews 137 00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,920 Speaker 1: this week. First off, defensive backs coach Ron Milis, who's 138 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,320 Speaker 1: been a dB coach in the NFL since the two 139 00:06:36,320 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 1: thousand season. 140 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 5: A little bit just because it's been what five years 141 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,839 Speaker 5: since the last time he's put the pads on, But 142 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 5: when you really look at it, the relationship with Shane 143 00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:51,280 Speaker 5: and him and the situation in which they're in, it 144 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 5: kind of makes sense because he's got a stranglehold on 145 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:57,200 Speaker 5: the offense. He knows that thing inside and out. No 146 00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120 Speaker 5: matter if he had been a high school coach down 147 00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,520 Speaker 5: there in Alabama or coming back. 148 00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,400 Speaker 6: You can see he's got command of what's going on. 149 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 7: When you watch the tape, that's what you see, right, 150 00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:08,839 Speaker 7: not necessarily the same physical guy, but the same quarterback. 151 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:12,160 Speaker 5: Absolutely you see him. He's the general on the field. 152 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 5: He probably knows what we're doing as well. 153 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:15,480 Speaker 6: As we know what we're. 154 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 5: Doing, just because of the fact he's done it for 155 00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 5: such a long period of time. And even when I 156 00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 5: was with the Charger and he was with the Chargers, 157 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: he would know, hey, you're in the wrong spot, move 158 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 5: over something. He has an idea of what's going on 159 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball. 160 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:31,960 Speaker 7: So even though they've lost a couple in a row, 161 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 7: they're still in this thing. This is an important game 162 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,360 Speaker 7: for both teams, and that brings an edge to it, 163 00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:38,720 Speaker 7: doesn't it. 164 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 5: Absolutely. I mean, they still got something to play for. Obviously, 165 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,200 Speaker 5: we have something to play for. We got a very 166 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 5: good football team. Obviously, I've got some history with that 167 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 5: organization coming from there, been there the last three years. 168 00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,000 Speaker 5: Love to go in and there and see if we 169 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:54,560 Speaker 5: can get a win. 170 00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 7: The league has really tried to increase drama at the 171 00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,760 Speaker 7: end of the year by putting all of these divisional games. 172 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,560 Speaker 7: I think they've done an outstanding job. Kind of expect 173 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 7: that team and your team to both come out wound up. 174 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 5: Absolutely, and like you said that, the league has done 175 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 5: that over the years. 176 00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,440 Speaker 6: You just kind of go back over time. 177 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:14,160 Speaker 5: I was with the Raiders one time and we were 178 00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 5: in a similar situation where he either had to win 179 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,320 Speaker 5: out and play teams such as the Colts or whoever 180 00:08:20,320 --> 00:08:23,480 Speaker 5: it might have been. And I think it's been good 181 00:08:23,480 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 5: for football, good for the National Football League. It's not 182 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 5: like they have an understanding that who's at the end 183 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 5: of the season, who has a chance to be good. 184 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,839 Speaker 7: Tell me about your room, because it seems like you've 185 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,280 Speaker 7: got a lot of guys who are playing different roles 186 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:39,760 Speaker 7: and yet everyone seems to be completely unselfish. Is that 187 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 7: that room or is that that room plus this time 188 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 7: of year and where this team is. 189 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 6: I think it's a little bit of both. 190 00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 5: I mean, I think our room understands we're going to 191 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,200 Speaker 5: need them all and so we've been especially at the 192 00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,440 Speaker 5: corners and the safety position, where it's been like a 193 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,600 Speaker 5: rotation when we started off with Greg and Buster, but 194 00:08:58,840 --> 00:08:59,920 Speaker 5: Jarian gets his play. 195 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,120 Speaker 6: Same thing that's happened at the safety position. 196 00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 5: So we're lucky enough that we have enough guys that 197 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 5: we feel very comfortable putting in again in a game 198 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 5: in a crunch time, and we kind of have an 199 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:12,080 Speaker 5: idea what's gonna happen. 200 00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 7: What did it mean to you to get Eric Murray 201 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,240 Speaker 7: back on the field. It seems like there's a different 202 00:09:16,360 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 7: level of cohesion with that unit with him on the field. 203 00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 8: Oh. 204 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:21,720 Speaker 5: Absolutely. He's a guy that's been around the league for 205 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,480 Speaker 5: a number of years. Obviously we missed him when when 206 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:28,800 Speaker 5: he was out. He's like an extra coach on the 207 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 5: field or a quarterback on the field force. I think 208 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,360 Speaker 5: with him, Dewey Ajose, those three guys have done a 209 00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 5: wonderful job. 210 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 7: Antonio Johnson's kind of been my example of how this 211 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,800 Speaker 7: team has grown because when Eric wasn't on the field, 212 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,079 Speaker 7: he wasn't and making plays. Did you see this incrementally 213 00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,280 Speaker 7: or did it just turn on with him? 214 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 2: Oh? 215 00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,720 Speaker 5: He's been doing this. Really, he's been doing this since 216 00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 5: since the summertime. I think he's come on. Obviously, he's 217 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,680 Speaker 5: been able to catch the football, he's flashed in the 218 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 5: run game. I think AP has done a really good 219 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 5: job with those guys also, So at the end of 220 00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:04,560 Speaker 5: the day, AP's where it needs to be. 221 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,040 Speaker 7: Give me a thirty thousand foot perspective. You've been around 222 00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:09,920 Speaker 7: this game a long time. This team has something going 223 00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:12,560 Speaker 7: from a chemistry perspective, it's tangible. I mean you can 224 00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 7: see it here, you can almost taste it. 225 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:16,520 Speaker 5: Oh yeah, Well, I think that comes from the top, 226 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:21,760 Speaker 5: how Liam approaches us every day as coaches, as players, 227 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 5: and then what camp on the defensive side brings to 228 00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 5: the table. Then you know, the emphasis on turnovers, those 229 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,319 Speaker 5: type of things has helped us greatly. 230 00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,840 Speaker 7: Final thought, how much fun is it to play football 231 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 7: and coach football? You know, the week of Christmas with 232 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:37,600 Speaker 7: a lot on the line and with a lot in 233 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 7: front of you, still, well, this. 234 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:39,959 Speaker 6: Is what it's all about. 235 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,520 Speaker 5: This is if you would have said back in the summer, 236 00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 5: we're going to be in this position, we would all 237 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,680 Speaker 5: say we'll take it. And we're in this position and 238 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 5: we are fortunate. But we have worked hard enough to 239 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 5: get ourselves in this position. So hopefully we'll keep on 240 00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:55,920 Speaker 5: going for at least another month and next. 241 00:10:56,120 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 1: Jaguars cornerback Jerry and Jones, who always has confidence. 242 00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 9: I think a little bit of both. I think it's 243 00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 9: just who I am. But I'm naturally like a super 244 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 9: confident god. I believe in me, I believe in us, 245 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,719 Speaker 9: and I believe in everything we got going on. 246 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 7: Tell me about this locker room, because there's a tangible 247 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 7: level of confidence of chemistry. Wasn't here at the end 248 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 7: of last year, just being honest, tell me about when 249 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,839 Speaker 7: it turned When did this locker room go from big 250 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 7: yeah two WHOA. 251 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 9: It's hard to like pinpoint a certain time that it 252 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 9: kind of turned over. I always seen the belief, like 253 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,959 Speaker 9: in the players that we had in each other. But 254 00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 9: I think having like a young head coach that also 255 00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:33,199 Speaker 9: has that same belief in himself and us, I think 256 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 9: it's just kind of murdered and you knowing that it's 257 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 9: like one big ball of confidence, you know what I'm saying. 258 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 9: So I think we play with that, and he does 259 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 9: a good job of emphasizing that as that we need 260 00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:42,559 Speaker 9: to play with. And I think he you know what 261 00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:44,319 Speaker 9: I'm saying, he's a great head coach, and I'm saying 262 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 9: it's easy to believe in what he believes in. 263 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 7: I think the secondary is a great example of this 264 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 7: team playing unselfish because you all are going in and 265 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 7: out of the lineup and it doesn't seem to matter 266 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,640 Speaker 7: to anybody. Everybody's getting theirs. Can you just talk about 267 00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:56,600 Speaker 7: how you guys are as a. 268 00:11:56,600 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 9: Room, everybody's doing they want to live in. Making the 269 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:01,240 Speaker 9: players that come to you out says the best when 270 00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 9: he says, like the like the constant belief and everyone 271 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 9: doing their job like trust is the biggest thing. You 272 00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,319 Speaker 9: can measure a defense by just trusting each other to 273 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 9: be where it's supposed to be. I think that's what 274 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:12,640 Speaker 9: we got a lot of it right now. No matter 275 00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:14,120 Speaker 9: who's in the line of who's in, you know what 276 00:12:14,120 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 9: I'm saying, who's out? I think you just see a 277 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,000 Speaker 9: lot of trusts between each other. 278 00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 7: There's a lot writing on every game the rest of 279 00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 7: the way. Do you feel that pressure on game day 280 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,040 Speaker 7: or can you just cut it loose and let it. 281 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:28,319 Speaker 9: Rep because lose no person ain't no person being yourself. 282 00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 9: I think the pressure comes when you try to do 283 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 9: something outside of what you always do. It ain't no 284 00:12:32,440 --> 00:12:34,840 Speaker 9: pressure being yourself. And I think we're prepared a right way. 285 00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,360 Speaker 9: So just doing everything that you're doing practice get you 286 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 9: in the right position for the game. 287 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,320 Speaker 7: Colts, you just saw them a couple of weeks ago. 288 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 7: How does that help in your preparation knowing what they do? 289 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 7: And does Philip Rivers present a different challenge? 290 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 9: Quality team Hall of Fame quarterback that you gotta always 291 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:52,079 Speaker 9: be on. You know what I'm saying, Your p's and 292 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,080 Speaker 9: q's and you going against a team like that especially 293 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,960 Speaker 9: with a quarterback like that. You know, send them a 294 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 9: couple of days ago. You know, you you you know 295 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 9: a little bit about you know who's seeing them already. 296 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:05,120 Speaker 9: But you know you can't take no game lightly, no 297 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 9: team likely, especially a quality team like that. So you's 298 00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:08,600 Speaker 9: got to come to work. 299 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:13,840 Speaker 7: You sat in the locker room in Denver famously, anyone anytime, anywhere, 300 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 7: this whole locker room share that. 301 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: Believe you know it.

We 318 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,680 Speaker 8: have to remix that because we're on a roll. It's 319 00:14:03,720 --> 00:14:06,839 Speaker 8: not quite the Tutsie row, but we are on a roll. 320 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 8: It's the Jaguars role, and you know, it's it's good 321 00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,240 Speaker 8: to be a Jacksonville Jaguars fan. 322 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,959 Speaker 10: And uh, I remember not too long ago, a few 323 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:17,439 Speaker 10: days ago, I'm rooting for. 324 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:21,119 Speaker 8: Other teams outside of Jacksonville, you know, for playoff positioning 325 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:24,600 Speaker 8: and all that stuff. Uh. But I feel like I 326 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,320 Speaker 8: just got to calm down, let things settle as they may. 327 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,120 Speaker 8: As the chips fall, the team just has to continue 328 00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 8: to go out there, stay the course and just handle 329 00:14:32,760 --> 00:14:35,480 Speaker 8: their business as they have been in and I think 330 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 8: that matters most than cheering for some stuff that's out 331 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 8: of our control. 332 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: Fred Liam Cohen is really getting a reaction from his 333 00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:50,120 Speaker 1: team week over week, and it's just kind of as 334 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:52,560 Speaker 1: continued to grow obviously as the season has gone a 335 00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: long first year coach. Everybody's buying into what he's saying. 336 00:14:56,160 --> 00:15:00,280 Speaker 1: The reactions after the game are pretty intensive and run 337 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: locker room, but it kind of tells you how close 338 00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:04,800 Speaker 1: this team is together. 339 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 4: They're buying into it. 340 00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:10,200 Speaker 1: Coach believes in them, they believe in him, and that's 341 00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 1: carrying this team to great heights. 342 00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's about the fifty three you know player roster 343 00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:19,320 Speaker 8: that's in there, along with the coaching staff. You know, 344 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 8: it's along with the front office group, you know, along 345 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:26,800 Speaker 8: with the assistants, the secretary, the training room staff, the 346 00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 8: weight staff, you know, the people that feed and clean. 347 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:32,560 Speaker 8: It's about the people in that building, and they don't 348 00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:35,960 Speaker 8: listen to the outside noise, which is what I absolutely 349 00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,360 Speaker 8: love the most. I want the fans to be on 350 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,360 Speaker 8: the lookout for the podcast I did with Eric Armstead, 351 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:45,520 Speaker 8: you know, just getting some insider information, not a whole lot, 352 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:49,280 Speaker 8: but insider information from Eric, and he's just talking about 353 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,280 Speaker 8: the close knit locker room and the fact that they're 354 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 8: all having fun, they're all bought in, they all believe 355 00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 8: in each other, and they trust each other. And that's 356 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,640 Speaker 8: what you need to be a successful team. You have 357 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 8: to have that accountability factor. You know, when you leave 358 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 8: the building, no one's got to get in trouble. No 359 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 8: one's going to deviate from the plan, especially at this 360 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:12,880 Speaker 8: point in the season. Along with a sense of urgency 361 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,360 Speaker 8: and trust. So he mentioned that they had. They have 362 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 8: all of that, and that's really been the focal point 363 00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 8: since they got since the Houston Texans game. Sorry, so 364 00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 8: they just got to continue it. Man, the season starts now, 365 00:16:30,800 --> 00:16:35,800 Speaker 8: and the season starts now. Man, every week the season resets, no. 366 00:16:35,880 --> 00:16:36,520 Speaker 4: Doubt about that. 367 00:16:36,560 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us pride of the Jaguars running back, 368 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 1: and the quarterback's playing at an extremely high level right 369 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:44,520 Speaker 1: now as well. 370 00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:45,120 Speaker 4: I mean the. 371 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: Last four games over one hundred rating, all these touchdowns, 372 00:16:49,160 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 1: no interceptions, I mean in key moments, situations, third downs, 373 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: red zone. Last week they were great. 374 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,960 Speaker 4: He was great. So it seems like this sustainable for 375 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence. 376 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:04,960 Speaker 8: Moving ahead, Yeah, I love to see the consistency in 377 00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 8: Trevor's play. His output has been intentional. It's it's purpose field, right. 378 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:16,159 Speaker 8: This is the reason why we took him number one overall. 379 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,640 Speaker 8: And there were some questions out there, I mean quite naturally. 380 00:17:20,119 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 8: There were moments where even myself said, Trevor has to 381 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 8: play better. You know, I don't know if he heard that, 382 00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 8: but being trying to be unbiased and be a part 383 00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,400 Speaker 8: of the media and taking the player of mindset out 384 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 8: of it, Trevor, you know, myself, I would say Trevor 385 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 8: has to play better, but Trevor would also be honest 386 00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,160 Speaker 8: and say I need to play better. And I'm sure 387 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,080 Speaker 8: there are interviews and moments he's even said that. But 388 00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,880 Speaker 8: this is the Trevor that we saw in college. This 389 00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 8: is the Trevor that we've seen glimpses of minus the 390 00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,399 Speaker 8: four interceptions versus the Chargers a few years ago in 391 00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 8: the playoffs. This is the Trevor that we've seen. A 392 00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 8: guy who's playing with a sense of urgency, a lot 393 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,359 Speaker 8: of passionate, a lot of heart, a lot of grit, 394 00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:02,800 Speaker 8: and the guy who's a leader so he stepped up. 395 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,880 Speaker 10: The world is loving him, you know, more than anything. 396 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:06,960 Speaker 10: He's loving him. 397 00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:09,800 Speaker 8: He's having fun and I love to see that sort 398 00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:15,160 Speaker 8: of energy in display of passion and attitude from my quarterback. 399 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: Fred Jaguars Colts. That means Jonathan Taylor on the ground week. 400 00:18:20,040 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 1: We've seen it already, but Jack's pretty much handled it 401 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,399 Speaker 1: well last time around. 402 00:18:24,440 --> 00:18:27,280 Speaker 8: How do they do it again? Same way? A lot 403 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:29,480 Speaker 8: of discipline, a lot of sense of vergency. But it 404 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 8: starts in the classroom with the fundamentals trusting and the 405 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,920 Speaker 8: process trusting the play call that you get and then 406 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,360 Speaker 8: effort a lot of effort the backup doing what they 407 00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 8: do in the event that a starter isn't available. They 408 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 8: have to make sure that they're also ready to play 409 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 8: because throughout the course of the game JP and we've 410 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:53,399 Speaker 8: seen injuries happen. But the jag Wars have done a 411 00:18:53,400 --> 00:18:56,600 Speaker 8: great job with plug and play mentality because those guys 412 00:18:56,600 --> 00:19:00,439 Speaker 8: are well coached, they're prepared, they're ready to go, and again, 413 00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:06,119 Speaker 8: execution preparation, sense of urgency, execution. 414 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:10,080 Speaker 10: They should be able to shut down the Coat's run game. 415 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,640 Speaker 8: And then get to beat up on a forty four 416 00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 8: year old quarterback who shouldn't be out. 417 00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:15,680 Speaker 4: There throwing it like a shot put these days. 418 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:21,240 Speaker 8: Hey, that just means a few interceptions should take place. 419 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 8: They'll continue to pad their turnover stats as long as 420 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 8: they'll get a few from filler. 421 00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,359 Speaker 4: Brad grey Seffer's always and we'll talk to you in 422 00:19:29,359 --> 00:19:30,160 Speaker 4: the postgame. Man. 423 00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,240 Speaker 10: Appreciate you. I appreciate you. Man. 424 00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: The Jaguars isn't the Indianapolis Colts in Week seventeen. 425 00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 4: Enjoy the game.
