And I 13 00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 1: hope people watching this today, watching on the podcast as 14 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: they consume this, have stepped away a enough from the 15 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:05,039 Speaker 1: understandable disappointment of not winning that day to realize a 16 00:01:06,120 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: what a unbelievable thing it was that this team was 17 00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,040 Speaker 1: playing in the last three minutes of a divisional four 18 00:01:12,440 --> 00:01:14,960 Speaker 1: five minutes at divisional playoff with a chance to get 19 00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:18,120 Speaker 1: to the a C Championship game against a what has 20 00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,080 Speaker 1: become a legacy team one of the best teams in 21 00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,120 Speaker 1: the NFL had won six in a row. Uh, you know, 22 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,080 Speaker 1: whatever the expectations were to clear it. Uh. Doug Peterson 23 00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: was asked yesterday if if you can have a successful 24 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,160 Speaker 1: season without winning the Super Bowl or something like that, 25 00:01:35,520 --> 00:01:38,840 Speaker 1: can you feel a sense of accomplishment. Yeah, and boy, 26 00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:43,440 Speaker 1: only one team wins it. But I've got to think 27 00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:46,800 Speaker 1: that the fan base and the players and the coaches 28 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:52,360 Speaker 1: um deservedly feel as good about this as you can 29 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,920 Speaker 1: feel after an NFL season without lifting the trophy. So 30 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:59,800 Speaker 1: before we get into big things, just big broad picture here, 31 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: and I think the season went so long and accomplished 32 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 1: so much that it's tough to remember what you felt 33 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: at this time last year. Right, they had just beaten 34 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: the Colts, but it was just a miserable season and 35 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: they hadn't hired a coach and that process was dragging on. 36 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,920 Speaker 1: The franchise felt like it was gun shy a year ago, 37 00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:21,720 Speaker 1: like are we going to dig out of this thing 38 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,240 Speaker 1: with the quarterback or not? I think most people felt, 39 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:28,040 Speaker 1: and you know, you have different emotions at that time. 40 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,519 Speaker 1: For us, you know, there's always a little bit of 41 00:02:31,520 --> 00:02:35,520 Speaker 1: fatigue because it's a long season. But I think overall, 42 00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: there was more of a feeling than I've ever had 43 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: of whatever, you know, like, Okay, let's see it now. 44 00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 1: I mean, you know, and I don't. I don't wanna 45 00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: say I had that. I guess really not the way 46 00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 1: I approached things. But I know the fan base people 47 00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 1: who were writing me had a lot of them had this. 48 00:02:57,560 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: You know what I'm I'm tired of getting up for 49 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,799 Speaker 1: every change. I'm tired of getting excited about everything. Show 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: and show me a year later now, even having lost 51 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 1: a playoff game over the weekend, there's they got everybody back. Man, 52 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,440 Speaker 1: they did, and you just couldn't have picked or predicted, 53 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120 Speaker 1: I mean that Doug would be able to do that 54 00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:21,400 Speaker 1: in year one. So let's roll right into big things 55 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,079 Speaker 1: here and get after it. And we'll start with proud 56 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,160 Speaker 1: and it's okay to be happy and smile about this 57 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,320 Speaker 1: team and this season. I just told him I was 58 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: proud of him for the season that we put together. 59 00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 1: Nobody expected us, the Jaguars to be in this football 60 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 1: game from the beginning of the season to today. And 61 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:43,480 Speaker 1: I just told him how proud I was of them 62 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,480 Speaker 1: for how they hung together all season long, how they 63 00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 1: how they battled, fought through a ton of adversity, um, 64 00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 1: you know, and just proud of the way they kept 65 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,200 Speaker 1: battling all season to get to this spot and really 66 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: battling this game to come down to the you know, 67 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: an on site kick to potentially you know, seeing what happens, right, 68 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: And Um, I told him we were gonna, you know, 69 00:04:06,040 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn from this, We're gonna grow from this, 70 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, our expectation is to be in 71 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: these games every year. I mean, that's where we're just 72 00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:18,760 Speaker 1: you know, we're that's our expectation. And uh, um, you know, 73 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:20,680 Speaker 1: this was a good, good first year for all of us. 74 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,800 Speaker 1: Big thing too grateful, And the quarterback in the post 75 00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: game after the loss, with the disappointment still lingering, cut 76 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,240 Speaker 1: right through all of the gloom and pointed out the 77 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: fact that this team accomplished so much that you had 78 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,600 Speaker 1: to take the time to feel so gratitude for how 79 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:43,600 Speaker 1: it all came together. Well, first of all, thank you, 80 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: Thank you guys and all y'all that are in here 81 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: that are Jacksonville people. Man, we appreciate you guys. Uh, 82 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:51,200 Speaker 1: A lot of ups and downs, even just this season, 83 00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: and it was a special year for for us, um 84 00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 1: for the city, for for everybody. And I couldn't have 85 00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: done it without all you guys supporting us. So we're 86 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: thankful for you guys. Those last two home games were 87 00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:04,919 Speaker 1: four games will never forget and just excited for that 88 00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,240 Speaker 1: to be the atmosphere and the just the future for 89 00:05:09,279 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 1: our team. And I'm really excited. And it's hard to 90 00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,200 Speaker 1: even think about the next year right now because you're 91 00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 1: it's just still obviously this this loss is fresh. But um, 92 00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: we're gonna be back and this is the new standard 93 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:25,039 Speaker 1: and we set that and this is the bar, and um, 94 00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: we'll be back. So and finally big thing three focused 95 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:32,600 Speaker 1: and this football team was able to learn from the 96 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:34,760 Speaker 1: lessons week to week. That happens when you have a 97 00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,760 Speaker 1: coaching staff that's dialed in and knows exactly what they're 98 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,719 Speaker 1: wanting to accomplish. But they had some lessons late in 99 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,200 Speaker 1: the year that middle linebacker Foyer Loukon believes will help 100 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: them get to that next level next year. I mean, 101 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,599 Speaker 1: just this's the growth and we're going to continue to grow. 102 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,800 Speaker 1: It's just a start for them. It's only five years 103 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,080 Speaker 1: to get here. It's my fifth year. This taste in 104 00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 1: the playoffs and they got that experience in the first year, 105 00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,360 Speaker 1: so now they know what it should look like. They've 106 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,599 Speaker 1: been a part of three in whatever it was, and 107 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,599 Speaker 1: they've been a part of the playoff run. So we 108 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,839 Speaker 1: they should know what what it looks like, practice preparations, 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:10,920 Speaker 1: energy level, what it should look like week in a 110 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,239 Speaker 1: week out. So any new people we bring to the squad, 111 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: we know what to expect, the standard and there you 112 00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:20,719 Speaker 1: have a big things and John proud, grateful, and focused 113 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,720 Speaker 1: are three good words to go into the offseason describing 114 00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,880 Speaker 1: your football team. Brian, they won ten games from nineteen 115 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: from one and they won ten this year. Uh, that's unbelievable. 116 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,920 Speaker 1: And I'm not a huge numbers guy, but I think 117 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: those numbers show you where they were because they weren't 118 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 1: just the worst team in the NFL the last couple 119 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:48,039 Speaker 1: of years. I'm not sure they weren't the worst team 120 00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,039 Speaker 1: in the NFL by a fairly wide margin. Any team 121 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:54,479 Speaker 1: that picks number one's bad, but this team was. You know, 122 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 1: I think it was ten double digit loss last double 123 00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,720 Speaker 1: double digit losses last season. That it's as low as 124 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:06,760 Speaker 1: you can get without being windless, um pride, all the 125 00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: things we walked about the big things. One thing I 126 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 1: didn't say at the top that I want to get in. 127 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 1: We we have talked so much about nine because we 128 00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:17,920 Speaker 1: were there for that and this, and there are parallels, 129 00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,760 Speaker 1: but I think the biggest parallel is how the fans 130 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: and the city now feel about the franchise. Remember ninety six, 131 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: everything was fresh, and there was a love with this team, 132 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: and there was an excitement and I alluded to it 133 00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:37,520 Speaker 1: a couple of times during the run. I think that's back. 134 00:07:39,800 --> 00:07:43,440 Speaker 1: It does feel fresh again, it feels new, it feels optimistic. 135 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: But there's also I think a healthy add in of 136 00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,840 Speaker 1: how hard it is to do and how special it 137 00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760 Speaker 1: really is. I'm not sure I've in currently for two 138 00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: years and then I went and I covered a bunch 139 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: of Super Bowl you know all that. I didn't know 140 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,880 Speaker 1: how tough this was. I didn't know how bad it 141 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:05,000 Speaker 1: could be. I think the fan base gets that too, 142 00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,720 Speaker 1: So there is an appreciation of what we have it again, 143 00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,840 Speaker 1: this is what it's going to be. How fun is 144 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: this going to be? And I do think there's a 145 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,800 Speaker 1: connection certainly that I hadn't felt with this franchise since 146 00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: I got back in two thousand eleven, and I think 147 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: the things we talked about in Big three, the pride 148 00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: to focus. Fans felt what this team was doing and 149 00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,840 Speaker 1: what it meant to him. This is how it's supposed 150 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: to be. So one thought on that. Back in the 151 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:34,560 Speaker 1: early days, we were battling the Gator fans and the 152 00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,679 Speaker 1: Seminole fans and the Bulldog fans. Right there were divided 153 00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: loyalties because you had fans of those teams and they 154 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,560 Speaker 1: were used to go to the King fans. Yeah, they're 155 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:47,320 Speaker 1: probably around there too. Um. Now, there are so many people, 156 00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,760 Speaker 1: especially the last three years through the COVID pandemic, how 157 00:08:49,760 --> 00:08:53,360 Speaker 1: many people have relocated to Jacksonville. There are more people 158 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,680 Speaker 1: who are more tied into just this franchise, who don't 159 00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,840 Speaker 1: have the ties to the local colleges that always pulled 160 00:08:59,840 --> 00:09:01,600 Speaker 1: them down to Gainsville on a Saturday or up to 161 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:05,120 Speaker 1: Athens on a Saturday afternoon. You have now people who 162 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 1: are primed to take this fan base, not not just 163 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: from a passionate one, but to a much bigger one. 164 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,520 Speaker 1: You included a lot of people who were not necessarily 165 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,800 Speaker 1: here in nineties six, or here in two thousand seven, 166 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:19,360 Speaker 1: or even a two thousand seventeen and you said, well, 167 00:09:19,400 --> 00:09:21,840 Speaker 1: this is my town. Now, this is my team. And 168 00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 1: I'm getting that from a lot of people. My wife 169 00:09:23,800 --> 00:09:25,440 Speaker 1: is a realtor. I've met a lot of these folks 170 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: who have moved here, and they have become passionate about 171 00:09:29,480 --> 00:09:34,200 Speaker 1: this team this year, and that will grow. You will 172 00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,840 Speaker 1: have a fan base that will fill this stadium and 173 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,760 Speaker 1: it won't be Man, can they get that game on 174 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,880 Speaker 1: TV anymore? Yeah? And not that it has been for 175 00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 1: a while, but sure, it's a phrase. It's been used 176 00:09:47,960 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 1: a lot, and I like it is. The game Saturday 177 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:58,120 Speaker 1: was the end of the beginning, so to speak. This 178 00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: is the beginning. And you know, I think it's gonna 179 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: be a healthy franchise for a long time. I think 180 00:10:04,960 --> 00:10:06,760 Speaker 1: healthy is a proper award because I don't know if 181 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,880 Speaker 1: it's gonna win Super Bowls. I can't predict that. It's 182 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 1: hard to win one. Uh, but I think if, if, this, 183 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:19,320 Speaker 1: if this thing can get there this year. Because this 184 00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,120 Speaker 1: was not one of the most talented eight teams in 185 00:10:21,160 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 1: the NFL, I don't think um. I think I think 186 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: it was. And it's a developing roster. To take a 187 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 1: developing roster in a new situation before we get going. 188 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: One stat that I thought was significant. Four teams played 189 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 1: in the a f C this past weekend. Andy Reid 190 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,480 Speaker 1: ten years, Sean McDermott six years, Zach Taylor four years, 191 00:10:41,520 --> 00:10:46,040 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson first year. They were beyond where they really 192 00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:49,360 Speaker 1: should have been in terms of development. They were playing 193 00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 1: with three established going franchises. Jay Wards are getting going. 194 00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,160 Speaker 1: This is, you know, the end of the beginning, if 195 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: you will, If you can describe yourself in your life 196 00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:02,319 Speaker 1: is out, grateful and focused, then you probably are in 197 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: a healthy situation too. So I think healthy is the 198 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:09,080 Speaker 1: exact word, the perfect word to describe Shad Khan's franchise, 199 00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: the Jaguars as they head into the three season. We'll 200 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,440 Speaker 1: take a break, we'll head back and look at some 201 00:11:14,480 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 1: of the highlights from Saturday afternoon with the proper perspective 202 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:22,080 Speaker 1: here on Jack's Drive Time on a Tuesday, presented by 203 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: car Shield and rolling right along here on a Tuesday morning. Again. 204 00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,679 Speaker 1: We're here today and we'll be back tomorrow, and then 205 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: we'll take a couple of weeks off in return after 206 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:39,640 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. So let's get to the highlights from 207 00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,000 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon at Arrowhead stadium in Kansas City. And look, 208 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:48,640 Speaker 1: we knew going in you're gonna have the quarterback looking 209 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: for the tight end. And they did it early, and 210 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:58,240 Speaker 1: they did it often. The Hoaks first drop back, County's 211 00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,080 Speaker 1: first casey trow Travis Kelsey outs in the thirty five 212 00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 1: yard loss, three second and three sky more in motion. 213 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: The pressure picked up. My homes right, Cock fights Kelsey 214 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:15,360 Speaker 1: right around midfield for me, but Holmes on the rug 215 00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: cotch in the middle, Coty touchdown. You know the familiarity 216 00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:26,320 Speaker 1: that you spoke of everything, You see it there and 217 00:12:26,400 --> 00:12:28,840 Speaker 1: you watch the two linebackers here on this particular play, 218 00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: or the linebacker in the corner, Watch how they just 219 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,560 Speaker 1: overrun Kelsey and Kelsey just sits down. Yeah, it's it's 220 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:39,240 Speaker 1: easy to say, and I understand people say this, Oh 221 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 1: put three men on Kelsey. Don't let him beat you. 222 00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:45,160 Speaker 1: If you did, everybody else beats um. And I didn't 223 00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: think every play that Kelsey caught was a laugh by 224 00:12:48,480 --> 00:12:50,520 Speaker 1: the Jaguars defense. I'm sure I haven't talked to Mike 225 00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,440 Speaker 1: call I haven't talked to the Jaguars players by specifically 226 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: jump pass wasn't but I'm sure there were times on 227 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,880 Speaker 1: Saturday where they got out schemed because you guess what 228 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,680 Speaker 1: Andy read in the Chiefs are gonna outscheae me right 229 00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:05,480 Speaker 1: now and then. But I didn't. I didn't see them 230 00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,800 Speaker 1: neglecting Kelsey. There were um multiple times. The first play 231 00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: he caught a two yard pass and turned into a 232 00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: four yard or five yard pass. I'm sure sitting in 233 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,080 Speaker 1: game plan meetings last week, they knew they had to 234 00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 1: give them something. And then Kelsey made a few plays 235 00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,800 Speaker 1: and I could have done a better job. But guess what, Um, 236 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,240 Speaker 1: this was a Hall of famer and probably all of 237 00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:31,600 Speaker 1: famer thrown to him. I'm homes going to the Hall 238 00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,480 Speaker 1: of Fame. He certainly on that on the track playing 239 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:37,479 Speaker 1: against guys who aren't Hall of famers. Yeah, the Jaguars 240 00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:42,679 Speaker 1: defense this year was not made up of guys who 241 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: I think are gonna be wearing gold jackets. Uh, it's 242 00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:49,679 Speaker 1: not a knock on him. Travis Kelsey is an all timer. Uh. 243 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:51,839 Speaker 1: He made a few plays that were all time. They 244 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: probably got beat a couple of times. Um, that's just 245 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:58,559 Speaker 1: how it is. So the Jaguars falled down seven nothing, 246 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,880 Speaker 1: but fear not, they understood what they were up against 247 00:14:01,960 --> 00:14:04,199 Speaker 1: and they couldn't fall into the hole as they did 248 00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: against the Chargers in the wild card game. Jamal Agnew sparked, 249 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:11,480 Speaker 1: there come from behind, run shut out, one ounce of 250 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 1: rust off the line, drive return will kick here for Agnew. 251 00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,640 Speaker 1: Very kid returned. Man Agnew's got an opening here on 252 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: the sideline for the Chiefs have an angle past midfield. 253 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,320 Speaker 1: They do is out of bounce of a thirty nine 254 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:30,000 Speaker 1: and Lawrence losting it for Kurt got it from the 255 00:14:30,120 --> 00:14:34,120 Speaker 1: touchdown first. Jim Kirk on terrific play, designed r out 256 00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:36,120 Speaker 1: of the back field to the end. Zoe and the 257 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: jack bars respond in time of the game. You know, 258 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,240 Speaker 1: I take away the disappointment of the loss because I 259 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,280 Speaker 1: know people are still disappointed all season. We look for 260 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: signs of growth to respond in the postseason on the 261 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,560 Speaker 1: road and turn this into a tie game right here. 262 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Uh yes, they got great positions. They got great deal 263 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: of position from Agnew. But I think about the first 264 00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: game of the season they drove and I think it 265 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,600 Speaker 1: was the wheel route that Trevor couldn't hit to E 266 00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,640 Speaker 1: t n on almost the same play, and then all 267 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,480 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you're down against Washington the whole game 268 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,440 Speaker 1: and you're just sort of not that was a sign 269 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,960 Speaker 1: of growth to me, that you get down seven nothing. 270 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: I felt I felt all a long like the Chiefs 271 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,400 Speaker 1: were better. I've covered a lot of these kind of 272 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: games where were playing a better team. I figured that 273 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,320 Speaker 1: game was gonna get to fourteen nothing early and then 274 00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,040 Speaker 1: you're and you're gonna feel uphill the whole game. That's 275 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 1: sort of what you do on the road against these 276 00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: elite teams when you're a young team. For them to 277 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 1: come out and respond and get back to seven seven 278 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: and keep this thing manageable the whole game. I thought 279 00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: that was growth. And I know people are gonna say, well, 280 00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: it's not time for growth, you're in the playoffs, But 281 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: I thought that was a growth moment for the Jacks. 282 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: Now they're down ten to seven and the Holmes is 283 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,000 Speaker 1: out of the game. This is where you felt like 284 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,600 Speaker 1: the Chiefs were a superior team. And of course, going 285 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 1: to their fifth consecutive AFC Championship game, they're the better 286 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,640 Speaker 1: team and they showed to here on this drive with 287 00:16:09,760 --> 00:16:14,440 Speaker 1: Chad Henny off the two yard line, third drive of 288 00:16:14,520 --> 00:16:18,480 Speaker 1: his first half. Check out to the outside, but check 289 00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:21,840 Speaker 1: out a face to the third line to check out 290 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:31,800 Speaker 1: about at the five yard love, perfect catching start on 291 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:37,920 Speaker 1: the touchdown. Look, Chad Henny is not a superior quarterback. 292 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,320 Speaker 1: We know what because he's thirty seven years old. He's 293 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:44,880 Speaker 1: a career backup. But you just saw the roster and 294 00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: the difference in the developed roster and how the Chief's 295 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:49,640 Speaker 1: offensive line. I don't want to too far. That's my 296 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:54,080 Speaker 1: big thing. How they dominated that drive because they had to. Yeah, 297 00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I think most people who watched the game 298 00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,400 Speaker 1: since this too, this isn't breaking news when you got 299 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: to the on the drive before this and went backward 300 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,840 Speaker 1: and couldn't get points, and then they came out and 301 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:11,600 Speaker 1: drove this and everybody's everybody has pointed to the art 302 00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Speaker 1: and key play which happened on this drive, the wrecking 303 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,480 Speaker 1: the pastor. But the Chiefs pick up a first down 304 00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: on that play without that um ding the pastor, so 305 00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:25,359 Speaker 1: they had you know, when this run happened down to 306 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: the four, that's when I sort of sort of said, Okay, 307 00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,480 Speaker 1: they're not gonna do it today because they had a 308 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,480 Speaker 1: chance to take advantage of the game and take the 309 00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: lead and momentum feeling wise watching the game, when when 310 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: Mahomes went out for a little while you felt like, Okay, 311 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: the Jackars have a chance to be up fourteen ten 312 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 1: a half, when when you're down seventeen seven, it's a 313 00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: big switch. Credit them for staying in it and almost 314 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: getting back in it late. But I thought the second 315 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:58,200 Speaker 1: quarter was the game. Let's go to the second half. 316 00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:02,879 Speaker 1: Drags down seventeen to say Evan, but Trevor Lawrence has 317 00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,560 Speaker 1: some guys he can count on second and done. We've 318 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,480 Speaker 1: got behind Marks clutching for Jils has got it. There's 319 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,439 Speaker 1: a flat down on the opposite side of the field, 320 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 1: but St. Jiones is inside the five counting the outside 321 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 1: cutch up and then for the touchdowns Travis e tm 322 00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 1: has made. There's a four point game, which one minutes 323 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: to play in the fourth quarter. Boy, we're talking about growth. Ye, well, 324 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 1: I thought this was a huge drive on that front, obviously. 325 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,639 Speaker 1: I mean, and I think plays like the z A 326 00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:44,440 Speaker 1: Jones play. Uh I, We're shown it here. These kind 327 00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: of plays will happen more consistently as this team knows 328 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,720 Speaker 1: each other more. We're gonna talk about continuity a lot 329 00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 1: later in the weeks. I gonna get to it here, 330 00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 1: but that will happen more. That's the kind of play 331 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:58,000 Speaker 1: that happens when you're developed. Make me plays there. I 332 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 1: thought the game also turned a little bit it early 333 00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,680 Speaker 1: in the third quarter when the Jags you know, dude, 334 00:19:04,720 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 1: I thought, a fairly superhuman effort. We're within seven twice 335 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: with the ball and then couldn't go get points. It 336 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,520 Speaker 1: felt again, I just felt, and maybe I'm wrong, because 337 00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:21,520 Speaker 1: my interpretation of the game was every time the Chiefs 338 00:19:21,600 --> 00:19:24,200 Speaker 1: needed a big moment, they got it. And I thought 339 00:19:24,200 --> 00:19:27,160 Speaker 1: the Chiefs stopped the Jag wars there twice when their 340 00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: offense was still getting back into it. My Homes sort 341 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 1: of hobbled. Thought the Chiefs defense stopped the Jacks and 342 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:34,280 Speaker 1: they needed to, and then they went out and got 343 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: the advantage again twenty to ten and kept keeping them 344 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: at bay a little bit. So I thought there was 345 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: an element of that on Saturday. Well, and if only 346 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,960 Speaker 1: the reverse was true, because after that et and touchdown, 347 00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,639 Speaker 1: the Jags are within a field goal with twelve minutes 348 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 1: left to play. You're thinking, Okay, what can the defense do. Remember, 349 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: Mahomes is not able to move and be the magician 350 00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 1: that we all know he's capable of. So he did 351 00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: what great players do. They go back to what they 352 00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: do well, and it was the Kelsey drive. Second and 353 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: ten right back to Kelsey troubled to hold onto it 354 00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: did pull it in. It will pick up a first 355 00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,560 Speaker 1: down just across the thirty five yard like checking ten 356 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:15,879 Speaker 1: Jaguards show pressure and bring it. My Home types to 357 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:21,720 Speaker 1: stand Kelty again across midfield for the first down, don't go, 358 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: and my Homes steps up trous to the back touchdowns. 359 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: And that is the very definition of a great quarterback 360 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,760 Speaker 1: who can't move very well, getting the most out of 361 00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,520 Speaker 1: his scheme. And right there, I didn't think they were 362 00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:46,440 Speaker 1: ignoring Kelsey. He he made a play. He may pen 363 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: in the next series and uh, I mean in the 364 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 1: next highlight. I love my Homes as a player. I 365 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 1: can't stand away as helmet sit it's my only knock. Okay, 366 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:05,560 Speaker 1: but he's a wonderful player. Again, I thought this showed 367 00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: where Kansas City is as a franchise, as a big 368 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: moment franchise. This kind of drive is why they're playing 369 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:17,480 Speaker 1: in their fifth consecutive a C Championship game. It was 370 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: a key moment in the game. The Jaguars were back 371 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: in it, and the Chiefs went down and scored without 372 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: facing a third down. Um, that's why I felt like 373 00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:29,680 Speaker 1: somewhere it just felt to me like a game where 374 00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:33,000 Speaker 1: the more experienced team was going to find a thing 375 00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:35,440 Speaker 1: to do to win no matter what happened. I thought 376 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,760 Speaker 1: that drive personified that, and Doug obviously fought I thought 377 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:40,960 Speaker 1: the same way. He talked about how much his team 378 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: would learn from a game like this. In the post game, 379 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 1: We're gonna show you the final drive for the Jaguars. Well, 380 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,080 Speaker 1: not quite the final drive, but the drive that ended 381 00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: the game essentially right here five ago, off side free shot, 382 00:21:52,800 --> 00:22:00,560 Speaker 1: Here for Lawrence, fast right around the twenty yard third 383 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: and ten. Here comes the pressure, Lawrence getting away, scraffling, 384 00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 1: running for it. Trevor put your sol down, gets the 385 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: first time at the nine yard lone none bigger than that, 386 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:15,640 Speaker 1: going quick from the Nie gets it out. It was five. 387 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,879 Speaker 1: How the fall four seas are there? There they were 388 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:26,720 Speaker 1: with the opportunity right the fumble. Notwithstanding, they were right 389 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 1: there with an opportunity, which is why a lot of 390 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:33,360 Speaker 1: people are like, they blew it. But they got themselves 391 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,800 Speaker 1: into position. And and this has been a problem this year. Turnovers, 392 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: especially over the last six or eight weeks, have multiplied 393 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,479 Speaker 1: and that was it. The play I wanted to highlight 394 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,120 Speaker 1: was third down to ten and the run by Lawrence. 395 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:51,640 Speaker 1: I mean, if you loved the video of him standing 396 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,879 Speaker 1: in the tunnel as people were leaving the field and 397 00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:59,360 Speaker 1: showing his leadership, that run is the equivalent of that. 398 00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,760 Speaker 1: What a what an incredible place, the one I probably 399 00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,320 Speaker 1: will remember all seasons or all off season. And I'm 400 00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,160 Speaker 1: talking about both of us, both sides of the mouth 401 00:23:06,200 --> 00:23:08,960 Speaker 1: a little bit, because boy, if they had scored there 402 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: with Agne, I understand why fans thinking why they could 403 00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,840 Speaker 1: have gone on one, because all they would have needed 404 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:18,240 Speaker 1: was one stop, one third down stop, one turnover, which 405 00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:20,680 Speaker 1: this team has gotten so often in the last six 406 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: or seven games. I do understand Jaguars fans feeling like, hey, 407 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 1: this team was going to make a play to go 408 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: do it, and they might have. That's why when I 409 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,000 Speaker 1: was asked, um, do you think the Jaguars should have 410 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,120 Speaker 1: won or could have won? I thought they could have won. 411 00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,960 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. I looked at that as a 412 00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:39,919 Speaker 1: game that they should have I didn't think they blew it. 413 00:23:40,119 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: I thought they had opportunities. I do think that the 414 00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:49,160 Speaker 1: last two drives, the one where they might say last two, 415 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: the one that ended in the E t N touchdown 416 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: and the one that ended in the agnew drive. You're 417 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,200 Speaker 1: talking about pressure moments where I'm gonna say the order 418 00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: back first, the whole offense, but the quarterback led drives 419 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: into one was a touchdown. I think the other one 420 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:11,040 Speaker 1: would have been a touchdown without the fumble. Those are 421 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,960 Speaker 1: big time, big moment drives. I would say that he'll 422 00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: learn from those, but I would also say that maybe 423 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:23,679 Speaker 1: the learning has already happened. Those are huge moments, huge 424 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: postseason stuff. Um, I don't know that he does that 425 00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: three months ago. Uh. And then, as you said, it's 426 00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:39,919 Speaker 1: funny the achilles heel for the first eight games of 427 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: the season when they were struggling red zone turnovers. E 428 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:48,159 Speaker 1: t N out here against the Giants Houston Denver. I 429 00:24:48,200 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: hadn't really thought about until I was watching it because 430 00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: you get caught up in it. First red zone turnover. 431 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,560 Speaker 1: I think it's the first red zone turnover since Denver. 432 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: I think it was. And so there you go. So 433 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,520 Speaker 1: we all SHO should point out by the way that 434 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,960 Speaker 1: the defense did come out with fourth down stop on 435 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,600 Speaker 1: the following drive that gave them the chance to get 436 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:07,120 Speaker 1: the ball back. They showed so much this year, they 437 00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,280 Speaker 1: just didn't have more than Kansas City. On Saturday afternoon, 438 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:14,040 Speaker 1: we come back Hot takes here on Tuesday morning. Jack's 439 00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:23,160 Speaker 1: Drive Time presented by car Shield. If your cars out 440 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:27,320 Speaker 1: of manufacturer's warranty, don't get stuck with expensive mechanical and 441 00:25:27,440 --> 00:25:32,360 Speaker 1: computer screen repairs called car Shield. Now Brian and John 442 00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 1: Vacky with you on a Tuesday. We'll be back on 443 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:40,879 Speaker 1: Wednesday where we'll look forward. We're looking back today. Um, John, Well, 444 00:25:40,960 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 1: it's uh. I think the overwhelming feeling is sadness, and 445 00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 1: that's okay. And when I say that, I mean among 446 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,919 Speaker 1: the fans, and I want to say this right. I 447 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 1: think the fans, many of them who are writing me, 448 00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:02,359 Speaker 1: talked more about being sad that the season was over 449 00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,680 Speaker 1: than they did being mad about the loss. And they're 450 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,360 Speaker 1: mad about the loss and frustrated. But and I think 451 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:14,280 Speaker 1: the reason for the sadness is I think people are 452 00:26:14,320 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: going on on Friday and Saturday. I think they're going 453 00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,119 Speaker 1: to miss turning on their TV and watching at the 454 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:26,280 Speaker 1: Jags play because I think they fell in love with 455 00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,200 Speaker 1: this team. And I don't think they fell in love 456 00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:32,720 Speaker 1: with the results. And when I say this, I don't 457 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,679 Speaker 1: necessarily think the fans are sad that they're not going 458 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: to be watching them in the a f C Championship, 459 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:39,960 Speaker 1: gaming in the super Bowl. I think they're sad that 460 00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 1: they won't be watching them in a Week three game 461 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 1: because I think they loved watching this team. It was fun. Well, 462 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: that was it. You built your week towards the weekend 463 00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:54,040 Speaker 1: the last six weeks, and the players were getting to watch. 464 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 1: There's a picture Brian on Twitter h of Doug and 465 00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think I think it's after after charges him. 466 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,679 Speaker 1: I'm not sure, but you can tell that Doug was 467 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 1: going to one direction and saw Josh and there's this 468 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:16,480 Speaker 1: look on Doug's face after after a win, and he 469 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: looks ridiculous, but it's a year old man having the 470 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: time of his life and the pure joy of the moment. Unexpected. 471 00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: We did it, and it feels to me like fans 472 00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: connected with that as much as the victories, and they 473 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:38,720 Speaker 1: loved it. And I think fans are gonna miss that. 474 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:42,199 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that's okay, the connection with 475 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,960 Speaker 1: this team and the fan base is real. It's kind 476 00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: of like when you run out of your Netflix series. Right, 477 00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,600 Speaker 1: you can't wait for the next season. Here we go. Wait, 478 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,119 Speaker 1: it's over. I don't got to watch one very done, 479 00:27:53,040 --> 00:27:56,800 Speaker 1: same feeling, except this real people and you fell in 480 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: love with it, and it's it's it's uh again to me. 481 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,840 Speaker 1: Fans love winning, so I think they. I think they 482 00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:09,080 Speaker 1: love the seventeen team. But I've said before that team 483 00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,680 Speaker 1: felt angry. Well that's it. You had so many years 484 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,480 Speaker 1: of losing. That team was given it back to the league. 485 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,919 Speaker 1: But this team, the love that these guys share for 486 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,480 Speaker 1: each other and a connection with the fans. The five 487 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,200 Speaker 1: straight wins out there, uh something special that you don't 488 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 1: experience all the time. I think fans are gonna miss 489 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:29,720 Speaker 1: it all right. My hot take is looking forward a 490 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: little bit. The Chief's offensive line is the standard. Hey, 491 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: look when Mahomes left the game and they were pinned 492 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:38,720 Speaker 1: at their two yard line and they had Chad Henny 493 00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: thirty seven years old and a journeyman back up behind them, 494 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 1: you could see that Creed Humphrey in the middle of 495 00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:46,880 Speaker 1: that line just took over. They sealed every block, They 496 00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:51,880 Speaker 1: protected their quarterback. They didn't let there be free hits. Um. 497 00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: Their offensive line is really, really good. They were powerful 498 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,160 Speaker 1: and strong, and you don't have to be an expert 499 00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,960 Speaker 1: on football to know that they took over the ball game. 500 00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: The Jaguars offensive line took a big step forward this year, 501 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,280 Speaker 1: played really well. But they've got to get a lot 502 00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: better on the interior of that offensive line and particularly 503 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 1: gonna get stronger. Luke Fortner is a smart guy. He's 504 00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,880 Speaker 1: a tough guy. Um, but he's a rookie and he's 505 00:29:14,920 --> 00:29:17,520 Speaker 1: playing at the end of his string. Um. They have 506 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: got to be more consistent. Hey, Tyler Shatley played since 507 00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:23,120 Speaker 1: Week five when Ben Bartch went out, and Tyler Shatley 508 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,880 Speaker 1: in his career, has been a consistent backup plug and 509 00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: play guy when you need him. And he played his 510 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,920 Speaker 1: best football all season long, gave you everything he had. 511 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: The Jaguars have to get better. The offensive line was good. 512 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:38,720 Speaker 1: It's got to take another step for the Jaguars to 513 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,000 Speaker 1: be able to match what the Chiefs do. Yeah, I 514 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,480 Speaker 1: think it's important to note that Brandon Sheriff was basically 515 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:48,640 Speaker 1: playing without a core uh, and you know had had 516 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 1: made a big deal out of it. I haven't talked 517 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 1: to him about it, but my understanding was, Uh, the 518 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: Adaman injury he's on the injury report every week after 519 00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 1: about wasn't able to really practice on Weddes nine or ten. Uh. 520 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: I have no core Brian, but I I would imagine 521 00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: for somebody with one, not having one to play in 522 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: the NFL would be time. Well, I didn't. I didn't 523 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,840 Speaker 1: mention him because I knew he was playing that way. 524 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: But I guess you get him back healthy. Yeah, you 525 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: get Fortner a year in the weight room to get 526 00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 1: bigger and stronger, and then you get Ben Bartch back, 527 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: or you draft another young guard to compete at that spot. 528 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,480 Speaker 1: That's how you get better. You've got to get better 529 00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:28,520 Speaker 1: on the offensive line. The Chief's offensive line set the 530 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,800 Speaker 1: standard in that ball game. And I think if you're 531 00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: Phil Rousher, you're gonna pull that tape out and watch 532 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:35,680 Speaker 1: it in the offseason and figure out how do we 533 00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,720 Speaker 1: get as good as they are. That's just one thought. 534 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,120 Speaker 1: As we come to the close of this show, we'll 535 00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: take a break and come back and wrap it up 536 00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday morning. After this, we'll move the freight 537 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: with Magellan Transport voted the coolest office space in Jacksonville. 538 00:30:57,520 --> 00:31:01,920 Speaker 1: You can apply online at Magellan Logistics dot com. Back 539 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,240 Speaker 1: to wrap it up. We're here tomorrow, and tomorrow we 540 00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:07,120 Speaker 1: will look forward uh and talk with some of the 541 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:11,080 Speaker 1: players and coaches through the locker room until we already 542 00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:15,240 Speaker 1: have gotten to but to John, this team, and it 543 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,840 Speaker 1: can't be understated, in no way, shape or form, were 544 00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,640 Speaker 1: they supposed to be where they were right We talked 545 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: all through the preseason and back into the summer about 546 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:28,800 Speaker 1: six or seven wins would be a big step, monumental 547 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: step forward for this team because it would set them 548 00:31:31,360 --> 00:31:35,440 Speaker 1: up for three and beyond. To get where they are 549 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,880 Speaker 1: right now was way beyond my expectations. Yeah, and you 550 00:31:39,960 --> 00:31:43,480 Speaker 1: lose perspective on that when you're winning or when you're 551 00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 1: around winning late in the season. Hey, any one more, 552 00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 1: one more of this, one more of that? Um, he said. 553 00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:53,680 Speaker 1: The best top of the show to go from where 554 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:58,120 Speaker 1: this team was last January last year, this time, the 555 00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,600 Speaker 1: mess that it was and it wasn't man and then 556 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: you're you're looking for a coach trying to make sure 557 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,280 Speaker 1: you get it right, the guys in the locker room, 558 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:12,880 Speaker 1: all the trust building, all that. It's um, I understand 559 00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:16,480 Speaker 1: that Brian Dable is winning some of the Coach of 560 00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,920 Speaker 1: the Year and credit to Shanahan out in San Francisco. 561 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,800 Speaker 1: I've never seen a head coach do a better head 562 00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 1: coaching job than Doug Peterson did this year. If people 563 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,160 Speaker 1: took more time to look into it, and they won't. 564 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:32,600 Speaker 1: It's easy in New York, it's easy in San Francisco, 565 00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: and those guys are certainly deserving. Um, but if you 566 00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: looked at the totality of what this was and what 567 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,440 Speaker 1: it is, because the head coach is not just what 568 00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:43,600 Speaker 1: you do on week one, it's how you build this thing. 569 00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:49,040 Speaker 1: The he's he's the heartbeat of your franchise. It's remarkable 570 00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 1: and uh, maybe he didn't win the award, but for 571 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: what he did to build this franchise, it's a remarkable. 572 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 1: John's good a coaching job as I've seen in almost 573 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,360 Speaker 1: thirty years, certainly in Jacksonville. All right, that I'll do 574 00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:08,160 Speaker 1: it for this show. We'll be back tomorrow. Lots ahead, 575 00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:12,200 Speaker 1: big things will go through the locker room. UM, got 576 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,760 Speaker 1: a lot to talk about and we'll wrap up the 577 00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,320 Speaker 1: season with tomorrow's Jags Drive time. Thanks for joining us, everybody, 578 00:33:18,320 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: have a great day.
