1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,480
Speaker 1: It's time for a weekly conversation with Pride of the

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. The Jaguars and the Chiefs

3
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: a monumental tasks this week to go into Arrowhead. Fred,

4
00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: It's nice to see it and talk to you. What's

5
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:17,400
Speaker 1: up same likewise, a p It's certainly a monumental task. Man. Uh,

6
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: it's reminded me of last year's Buffalo game. That's the result.

7
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: I want to see what was it? Nine at three

8
00:00:26,640 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: or in the six nine to six? Yeah, you know,

9
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo is a great team, was ascending on their way

10
00:00:34,720 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: into the playoffs, looked unbeatable and getting bamed a Jaguars

11
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: team who was jockeying for position to for a draft stock.

12
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,600
Speaker 1: You know, they end up upsetting probably one of the

13
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: biggest upset of the year, next to them knocking the

14
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: Coats out of the playoffs. This will be a great

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,080
Speaker 1: game in my opinion. I don't see a blowout. I

16
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:01,000
Speaker 1: don't see you know, any moral big three. I see

17
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Speaker 1: the Jaguars winning this thing. Well, I'll say this. If

18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,880
Speaker 1: the Jaguars hold the Chiefs to six points, uh, that's uh,

19
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: that would be a hell of a day at the office.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:13,479
Speaker 1: It's the number two offense in football, it's number one

21
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,119
Speaker 1: in passing offense. They've got my homes, They've got Kelsey,

22
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: they've got receivers, They're gonna get some of theirs. That's

23
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: just how they roll on off Yeah, and that might

24
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:26,040
Speaker 1: be crazy that I could be crazy at the end

25
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: of the day. But this game is just just the

26
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: makeup of it. Like this is one of those unexpected ones,

27
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: you know, Um that the team can go out there

28
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: and surprise themselves. You know, maybe they play up a

29
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,720
Speaker 1: notch to their talent, you know, the the opponent that

30
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:45,160
Speaker 1: they're playing. You know, I don't know, but a lot

31
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: of us is whistled thinking, but the guys haven't played, Um,

32
00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: they haven't just played flat out awful. They've been very

33
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: competitive and each and every matchup I think it's a

34
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: touchdown and a point differential in their six losses. You know,

35
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,800
Speaker 1: they're coming off of a win, you know, so maybe

36
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 1: that can give him some additional motivation there. So you know,

37
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:10,920
Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see what the outcome is after the

38
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: clock strikes zero. Patrick Mahomes is number one of the

39
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: league in passing yards, passing touchdowns. He doesn't have that

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,399
Speaker 1: real deep deep threat anymore. With Tyreek Hill, they're trying

41
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: to figure it out. I think they're figuring it out, okay,

42
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: otherwise on offense, but you know it's Patrick Mahomes. He

43
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: can get out of the pocket and extend plays and

44
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,359
Speaker 1: then he's running around. He's side arm and balls, he's

45
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:38,480
Speaker 1: no looking throws. I mean, this is next level offensive

46
00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: play for head coach Andy Reid. When you have a

47
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 1: guy like Mahomes back there doing it like this. Yeah,

48
00:02:44,639 --> 00:02:48,280
Speaker 1: best in the businessman always, you know, a top three

49
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: guy each and every year m v P. He's lights out.

50
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,919
Speaker 1: You no one to expected this. As you mentioned Tyreek Hill.

51
00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 1: They thought, you know, they were going to slow down

52
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: and they have some challenges earlier in the season, but

53
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,079
Speaker 1: they're hitting on you know, all cylinders now full stride.

54
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: You know, with the addition of Juju Smith Schuster, you know,

55
00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: he's starting to come around. McCole, Hardeman, he's he's actually,

56
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, a threat in his own right. And let's

57
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:20,480
Speaker 1: not forget Travis Kelsey, you know, just always a beast.

58
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 1: But they put they still have a lot of players

59
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,840
Speaker 1: around him. You know, Andy Reid is Andy Reid one

60
00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: of the most brilliant offensive minds and head coaches. You know,

61
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,079
Speaker 1: in the history of the game, every quarterback that he's coach,

62
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,200
Speaker 1: you know, from the mcnabs to the Alex Smith, you know,

63
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,760
Speaker 1: all these guys, they've been great. He has a great

64
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 1: system and those guys, he knows how to get the

65
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 1: position to thrive. So the toughest challenge is gonna be

66
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,280
Speaker 1: getting after my homes. But we've seen some teams put

67
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:53,720
Speaker 1: pressure on them, putting pressure on the quarterback. So Lexingville

68
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: can somehow create a pass rush this week, then they're

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800
Speaker 1: getting the opportunity to win the game. Man, You're right

70
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 1: about that Jack's pass rush. They got a little from

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: the interior last week to one. Smooth had a couple

72
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: of sacks of Keywan late in the game. But they

73
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: need a little more production from the edge. We talked

74
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: about that week over a week. It's been a little

75
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,480
Speaker 1: while since Josh Allen has put a sack on the board.

76
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,640
Speaker 1: This would be a good week to start at least

77
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: getting some of that consistent pressure from the outside to

78
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:24,560
Speaker 1: keep that quarterback contained. Oh, without a doubt, and that's

79
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,240
Speaker 1: what they're gonna need. You know, that is surely gonna

80
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: need pressure, pressure, pressure, you know, and hopefully you know,

81
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: Josh understands that he's the anchor. You know, you you're

82
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: the one with that Captain Patrick in your chest, You're

83
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:42,320
Speaker 1: you're the leader of that defense. So obviously he feels

84
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the pressure on the weight on his shoulder, and I

85
00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 1: think this is a game and the matchup that he's

86
00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: gonna want to deliver all and he hears the whispers.

87
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: You know, he's been you know what sack less. Uh,

88
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: he's been getting close, but he's you know, close isn't

89
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 1: always good enough, especially for that caliber talent in Josh Shalent. Uh.

90
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: So that's the challenge, you know, obviously this week, as

91
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,480
Speaker 1: it is every week, but more so this week, knowing

92
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,160
Speaker 1: the firepower you have on the opposing side and the

93
00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:14,240
Speaker 1: only way to slow them down is by pressure. So

94
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: hopefully Josh goes out and half the greatest game of

95
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 1: his career. Fred Taylor with us prior of the Jaguars

96
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: running back last week, Trevor Lawrence missed one pass in

97
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:28,080
Speaker 1: the second half. It's arguably his best outing. He's not

98
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: fireworks Patrick Mahomes putting up five dred yards a game

99
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: right now, but consistency is important for this offense. To

100
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:38,359
Speaker 1: to stay on the field and keep it moving and

101
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:41,599
Speaker 1: keep moving the ball. And Trevor Lawrence had a fine

102
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,479
Speaker 1: outing last week. It helps when you have the run

103
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: game going to I don't know if Travis E. T

104
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,600
Speaker 1: N is going to carry it twenty eight times per game,

105
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: but hey, this would be a good week for him

106
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: to to keep Patrick Mahomes over on the sideline sipping Gatoray.

107
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: And certainly we're that we you know, having a ball

108
00:05:56,560 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 1: control offense out there. Trevors can Trevor first had a

109
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 1: great game. You know, he managed the offense, which is

110
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 1: what we always want to see him do. Uh situationally,

111
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't make those mistakes and I think

112
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:16,080
Speaker 1: the coaches put him in better situations a week ago

113
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 1: and he managed them accordingly. I think we charted in

114
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 1: the second half. He was fifteen or sixteen a touchdown,

115
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: a hundred and I think close to the the hundred and

116
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 1: twenty yards or so, maybe a bit more. So. That

117
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: was a consistent effort in the second half to put

118
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 1: his team back and striking distance. Ultimately they end up

119
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: winning that game. And we want to see the same thing, right,

120
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: We want to see him go out there methodically get

121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: the balls out on his first progression. If that's not there,

122
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: get to your checkdown. You got you have a guy

123
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,320
Speaker 1: in Travisy t N who's running lights out. Well, he's

124
00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: getting the handoff or in the reception, he's showing that

125
00:06:56,440 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 1: he can actually carry the load, and uh, he's gonna

126
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 1: be competitive. He's gonna make people miss. So I think

127
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: if Trevor just honed in on first progression, if that's

128
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 1: not there, let's let's take advantage of the check down.

129
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: You know, against a seft defensive coverage. The Chiefs don't

130
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: have the greatest defense. You know, they have a good defense,

131
00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: but they're always playing from ahead. But if you can

132
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: rattle that department and somehow fine get your offense to

133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 1: get ahead of these guys, then you change the way

134
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: their defense is called and you get to control the

135
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:33,720
Speaker 1: moments of the game as well. By allowing Travis E.

136
00:07:33,800 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: T N those carries and those opportunities as he got

137
00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: a week ago carries back to back. That's a tall order, man. Hey,

138
00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 1: I remember that that's old school football. JP. That's that. Hey,

139
00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:52,480
Speaker 1: that's the eighties or nineties my time type of football.

140
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: It's tough. I don't know if the new guys are

141
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 1: ready for it, but you have to find out some

142
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: type of way. Hopefully, uh hope it lends itself, you know,

143
00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 1: closer to him having to carry a lot that means

144
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: we have a close ball game. You need to stretch

145
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,400
Speaker 1: out a little bit more before a game like that.

146
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: I guess you gotta do a lot more before a

147
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,720
Speaker 1: game like that, especially recovering from the previous week. JP.

148
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:20,640
Speaker 1: I mean the massages, the caro, the extra massages, the

149
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,760
Speaker 1: cold tub, the hot tub, the nutrition side of it,

150
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, the hyperbaric chambers. It's so much you try

151
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 1: to do mentally to get sharp and ready for that game.

152
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 1: Because you know, we see twenty eight carries. We forget

153
00:08:36,120 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 1: about the three or four receptions he had, so it

154
00:08:38,760 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: was well over thirty plus touches for the game. The

155
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: part of the game we don't chart is him releasing

156
00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,960
Speaker 1: through the line and getting banged and having a chip

157
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,240
Speaker 1: on his way out. Those tend to feel like carries

158
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: without touching the ball, because that's physical contact. So maybe

159
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: in the course of sixties something plays. You know, last week,

160
00:08:59,640 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: you know you probably got hit well over fifty times,

161
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, so young guy, Young guys can recover quick.

162
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: That's the blessing and Beauty have been a young player,

163
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: but they're gonna need everybody, and I think he's up

164
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:17,000
Speaker 1: for the Tad Travis et Fred Taylor with US Road

165
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: environment today. This is one of the toughest places to

166
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,480
Speaker 1: play in the NFL and Arrowhead. It is loud, it

167
00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 1: is consistent, and especially if they have the lead, and

168
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: if you're behind the chains and they're yelling at you,

169
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: it can be tough to really manage and get in

170
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:35,839
Speaker 1: and out of the huddle a lot of times. How

171
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: do you how do you deal with that if if

172
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all hell's broken loose and it's

173
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,280
Speaker 1: the environment where you just can't communicate, well, you know,

174
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: the one way to deal with it is to have

175
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,240
Speaker 1: success on offense when you don't have to worry about it.

176
00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: But you're asking from a standpoint that all hell has

177
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: broken loose. You know, I guess that's not a good thing.

178
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: But as a player, you're supposed to be able to,

179
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, dial into safe space. A lot of these

180
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: guys have have experienced these moments, you know, maybe not

181
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,840
Speaker 1: to the scale of Arrowhead, but they've been in pressure situations,

182
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: at pressure moment where it's just loud. It starts with

183
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback hopefully, um, you know they have a system

184
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:27,040
Speaker 1: in place from a communications standpoint, tapping the center centers,

185
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:31,439
Speaker 1: tapping the guard and looking back at the quarterback. Whatever communication,

186
00:10:32,280 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: uh communications they have in place, they're gonna have to

187
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:41,240
Speaker 1: utilize it effectively, and that can scramble. Then expect chaos

188
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:44,079
Speaker 1: from the offensive side, But it starts with from the

189
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:46,800
Speaker 1: sideline getting the place in early. If you can get

190
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 1: to play in early enough and break the huddle with

191
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: say eighteen seconds, so you can get up there and

192
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: go through your operations, they'll be just fine. It's gonna

193
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: hurt them if they break the huddle less than fifteen

194
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:02,240
Speaker 1: seconds and they're on to the line to ten seconds,

195
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a lot of quick snaps, a lot

196
00:11:04,600 --> 00:11:07,560
Speaker 1: of quick snaps. That tends to calm down the crowd,

197
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: you know, if your successful in doing it. But it

198
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: starts with the sideline getting to play in, breaking that

199
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: huddle and get into the line I'd say around the

200
00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,559
Speaker 1: eighteen second market. If they can operate in that fashion

201
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: and that efficiently, they should be able to handle a

202
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: crowd noise. All right, Fred, you're feeling good about this game.

203
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 1: We like that. We hope you're right. And well, we'll

204
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 1: hopefully recap a W on the road in Arrowhead and

205
00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,320
Speaker 1: that could change a lot of minds about this Jaguars team. Yeah,

206
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: that's always better to recap with the W man. Uh.

207
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: But again, I trust that these guys will be very competitive.

208
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna call it a lock. People

209
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: been taking my advice and losing, I believe so those

210
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: people are crazy JP. I'm not gonna say it's a lot,

211
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna go out there and compete,

212
00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,079
Speaker 1: and I'm just looking for an upset. We'll talk you

213
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: in the post game. Fred, thanks a lot. I'll be there, boss,

214
00:12:03,160 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: see you
