Speaker 1: M m h m.
Speaker 2: Sometimes you're asking questions that are that are really hard
Speaker 2: to answer, because you know, if the team's ready to go,
Speaker 2: they have a good week in preparation, why we go
Speaker 2: out like that? I mean, nobody wants to go out
Speaker 2: and coach that way. Nobody wants to go out and
Speaker 2: play that way. Nobody wants to go out and lose
Speaker 2: that way. We wait too much pride, you know, And
Speaker 2: and this is these are great opportunities for me to
Speaker 2: coach this football team and to lead this football team
Speaker 2: into too, to instruct this football team, and until until
Speaker 2: we've got some young guys that are that are that
Speaker 2: are learning this for the first time, you know, and
Speaker 2: then kind of going through a little adversity, and you know,
Speaker 2: again we're trying to put ours and positions to be
Speaker 2: a better football team in the AFC, and and sometimes
Speaker 2: it looks brilliant, and then there's days like today not
Speaker 2: so good.
Speaker 1: We'll giving to jag Zam November thirteenth, kent On a
Speaker 1: Stevens Brian sexist and John Osier with you here today.
Speaker 1: We're gonna try to make some sense what we saw yesterday.
Speaker 1: A lot of questions. I'm not sure we have all
Speaker 1: the answers, but we're going to talk through some things.
Speaker 3: Brian.
Speaker 1: That was not what we expected, and in a way
Speaker 1: that I didn't expect either. I tell you that lack
Speaker 1: of effort too, you know.
Speaker 4: I think it was on Jack's weekend. In the huddle
Speaker 4: as we finished that show up last week, I said,
Speaker 4: I think that this team will prove that they are
Speaker 4: the best team in the AFC.
Speaker 5: I expect him to play well.
Speaker 4: I didn't say whether they would win or not, because
Speaker 4: I don't know that you could with the team like
Speaker 4: San Francisco. I walked out of here last night thinking
Speaker 4: we've done this a long time. How did I not
Speaker 4: see that coming?
Speaker 3: Well? I think they got punched a little bit early
Speaker 3: and maybe stunned a little bit, and I think that
Speaker 3: sort of contributes kay to what you're talking about with
Speaker 3: you know, sometimes that looks like a lack of effort,
Speaker 3: focus whatever. I think. I think you get shell shocked
Speaker 3: and gut punched and didn't recover. Some of the players
Speaker 3: talked about not it was Trevor talked about now responding
Speaker 3: to adversity. I thought the sum up quote from Doug
Speaker 3: was when he talked about telling the team you haven't
Speaker 3: doe anything Yeteah. To me, Doug's really good during his
Speaker 3: postgame press conference, sort of tying things up and telling
Speaker 3: you what he's thinking. Remember how sort of frustrated and
Speaker 3: angry he was after Houston. This was more of these
Speaker 3: guys gotta realize we had a lot to do and
Speaker 3: we haven't accomplished anything.
Speaker 5: So let's go. I don't know whether you guys are.
Speaker 5: I'm a body language person.
Speaker 4: I like to I like to go to the field
Speaker 4: before the game and see if I can get a
Speaker 4: feel an all week in the locker room, there was
Speaker 4: no lack of energy, there was no lack of purpose,
Speaker 4: there was no lack of focus.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: I could never have told you that that was going
Speaker 4: to happen based on what I saw an hour before
Speaker 4: the game.
Speaker 5: I mean, that's show.
Speaker 4: What I saw from Doug that thought that we just
Speaker 4: watched off the top is controlled anger. I mean the
Speaker 4: way he was jerking his head, I mean he's mad.
Speaker 1: You can see this whole second half of that game.
Speaker 1: He was on the sideline coaching mad.
Speaker 4: But he also knows as the leader of right, you
Speaker 4: got two division games coming up here, and I'll go
Speaker 4: more into that in my hot take you win these two.
Speaker 4: You put that one in the rearview mirror so he
Speaker 4: can be angry. And as he said, hey, look we
Speaker 4: haven't done anything yet, and he's exactly right. But he
Speaker 4: couldn't just lose it like a fan can, right or
Speaker 4: a media member can and just go off. You got
Speaker 4: to be under some control to get this team back
Speaker 4: on the truck, because as we're about to talk about,
Speaker 4: I'll let you go there.
Speaker 1: All right, let's do our big things. Our first big
Speaker 1: thing for us today is bad game or bad team.
Speaker 1: Doug tried to sum things up after the game yesterday.
Speaker 1: Here's what he had to say.
Speaker 2: I thought the team was ready. We failed to execute
Speaker 2: on the opening drive defensively, and we failed to execute
Speaker 2: on the opening drive offensively. And that's the that's the
Speaker 2: part that is disappointing because these guys were these guys
Speaker 2: were ready to go.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 2: You know, to have the lack of execution like we
Speaker 2: did early in the football game just kind of snowballed
Speaker 2: from there.
Speaker 1: Ran we just talked about it. You felt the team
Speaker 1: was ready to go. Doug felt the team looked like
Speaker 1: they were ready to go, practiced well, but they got
Speaker 1: off track. So quickly.
Speaker 5: Yeah, this is not a bad team.
Speaker 4: They had a really bad game, as bad a game
Speaker 4: as we've seen all year, as bad a game as
Speaker 4: the first half of the Chargers game felt last year.
Speaker 4: But they're not a bad team. That's why he didn't
Speaker 4: see it coming. That's why we didn't see it coming.
Speaker 4: The question has to be asked, what's wrong with this
Speaker 4: team that in big moments Kansas City this year? You
Speaker 4: could say the Texans because that's a divisional game and
Speaker 4: this one at home, that you perform like that, that
Speaker 4: you take the body blows of two scoring drives and
Speaker 4: two three and outs and you can't recover. I just
Speaker 4: that's what everyone's asked in themselves this morning. How do
Speaker 4: you get that result? And I'm not sure that anyone
Speaker 4: can answer it well.
Speaker 3: I think Doug again during his presser, talked a little
Speaker 3: bit about, you know, executing poorly on the first two
Speaker 3: drives offensively and defensively. The first two drives offense, we
Speaker 3: don't know what's called, so it's hard to know exactly
Speaker 3: what happened, but there were plays where it just looked
Speaker 3: like a couple guys getting driven back into the quarterback.
Speaker 3: There's also one play where it just looked like every
Speaker 3: in the offensive line was going in a different direction.
Speaker 3: Doug sort of alluded to that, well, they know how
Speaker 3: to run that play, and I don't know which play
Speaker 3: was talking about, but he used that phrase. So I
Speaker 3: think they played bad early. And we all know the
Speaker 3: forty nine ers are a team that's so good early
Speaker 3: in the game when they're on that those couple of plays,
Speaker 3: But there's no margin for air in the league, especially
Speaker 3: it's a team like that. That's where it got out
Speaker 3: of hand. Why couldn't you reel it back in? I
Speaker 3: think they got close good drive at the end of
Speaker 3: the first half. It felt like, Okay, we're back to
Speaker 3: within seven, But then that mature, good, elite team that's
Speaker 3: used to be in there does what three at the
Speaker 3: end seven At the start of the second half, they
Speaker 3: had the ability to make the Jaguars pay for what
Speaker 3: they've been doing wrong for five weeks. Other teams didn't have.
Speaker 1: That ability, and it was one of those things where
Speaker 1: it felt worse than it actually was. At certain points
Speaker 1: in the first half. The score like particularly they were
Speaker 1: in the game, but it was just the feel of
Speaker 1: it was off. And it's not a bad team and
Speaker 1: I think that's why it gets so frustrating, because there
Speaker 1: is talent there. If I thought they were bad, then
Speaker 1: I wouldn't you know, I would be like, oh, well,
Speaker 1: of course.
Speaker 5: But Doug said they haven't done anything yet.
Speaker 1: They have not touched so.
Speaker 5: They're not a great team and they're not an elite team.
Speaker 3: And he's alluded to that a couple of times this year.
Speaker 3: That's been I think a theme of his that he's watched.
Speaker 3: Sometimes it's not been there meaning, but I think some
Speaker 3: times he thinks it is there. I would think that
Speaker 3: this week these players will realize at some point from
Speaker 3: Doug that they haven't done anything. I think that message
Speaker 3: will be clear this week.
Speaker 4: They're six and three, they're one game off the AFC lead. Right,
Speaker 4: So before you start thinking all is lost, as I
Speaker 4: heard people talking about is they were leaving last night.
Speaker 5: Hold On still by the way.
Speaker 6: Is our next big thing, our next big thing.
Speaker 1: We love a site. Hold On Big thing Number two
Speaker 1: is turnovers. We made that a key point before when
Speaker 1: we were pret talking about the game before. What we
Speaker 1: think the keys to victory would be not turning the
Speaker 1: ball over. That's the problem that the Taglars have had
Speaker 1: Leley came up to bite them yesterday, Doug talked about it.
Speaker 7: You got to feel the pain and embarrassment of today,
Speaker 7: and that's what it is.
Speaker 5: It's just it's terrible.
Speaker 7: You know, it's one of the worst games I've probably
Speaker 7: played in my career. So you know, I feel that
Speaker 7: and I take responsibility for that. And yeah, it's just
Speaker 7: we couldn't do anything right today. So but you gotta
Speaker 7: flush it too. I mean, that's the thing.
Speaker 5: Is sucks.
Speaker 7: What the reality is at the thirty one point loss,
Speaker 7: And that's crazy to even say, but thirty one point
Speaker 7: loss the same is a three point loss, and we
Speaker 7: lost today and we got to move on. We're the
Speaker 7: same team we were five hours ago when we came
Speaker 7: in here today, and we didn't play like it today.
Speaker 7: We played terrible, just across the board, including myself. So
Speaker 7: that's where we're at. That's the reality of it. Yeah,
Speaker 7: you're gonna we're gonna wallow in it tonight and we're
Speaker 7: gonna watch the tape tomorrow and kind of relive it,
Speaker 7: which is which is gonna suck, and then we're gonna
Speaker 7: move on. We're gonna get ready for Tennessee. I mean,
Speaker 7: that's that's the biggest fame of year is our next one.
Speaker 1: So that's Trevor going over some of his issues yesterday,
Speaker 1: and he owned it. John. I'll give him full credit
Speaker 1: for not that he doesn't ever take ownership of what
Speaker 1: he does, but you do want to hear that from
Speaker 1: your quarterback when they play bad and own it and
Speaker 1: kind of try to move forward from that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I don't know if it's accurate that the
Speaker 3: turnovers quote cost them that game. The game was getting
Speaker 3: away already when they started committing the turnours. But in
Speaker 3: the NFL, when you don't turn the ball over, you
Speaker 3: give yourself a chance to get back in it. And
Speaker 3: that's what they took away from themselves. I thought was
Speaker 3: we've all seen amazing comebacks. This team had amazing comebacks
Speaker 3: last year where you thought they were out of it.
Speaker 3: If Christian doesn't fumble that ball down near the goal line,
Speaker 3: now it's a ten point game, probably against Frisco against
Speaker 3: San Francisco. You don't pull that back in, but you
Speaker 3: never know. So I thought Trevor's game, I though it's
Speaker 3: comments about himself maybe weren't so much about the turnovers,
Speaker 3: but just about the overall play. I don't think he
Speaker 3: was very good yesterday, even without the turnovers, but I
Speaker 3: think some of that was what was going on up front.
Speaker 4: Well, the score got away from him because of that.
Speaker 4: You know, after the first two turnovers, Trevor's fumble in
Speaker 4: the interception, they held him to no points. They made
Speaker 4: the punt back to the Jaguars. In fact, after Trevor's
Speaker 4: fumble where he was sacked by Nick Bosa, that was
Speaker 4: where the Jaguars got the ball to one yard line
Speaker 4: and then went and got the field goal.
Speaker 5: So the defense stepped up there.
Speaker 4: But it was the other two turnovers that they were
Speaker 4: able to turn into points and pull the score away
Speaker 4: and overs in the last five games, now right, I
Speaker 4: mean that is completely unsustainable, and I said it last week.
Speaker 4: They were able to get away with it against the
Speaker 4: Colts and the Saints and the Steelers who were not
Speaker 4: playing in an elite level San Francisco, Cincinnati, Baltimore. The
Speaker 4: better teams will do that to you. The turnovers have
Speaker 4: to be fixed. That's obvious, and I don't know how
Speaker 4: you change it. I also want to say Trevors should
Speaker 4: never have thrown that ball that went through tank blacks
Speaker 4: or tank black, tank Bigsby's hands shouldn't have thrown it.
Speaker 4: I mean, big speed. Even if he catches it and
Speaker 4: it was rifled to him. Even if he catches it,
Speaker 4: he is five yards shy of the six at some point.
Speaker 4: Just take the sack punt and keep playing. That is
Speaker 4: the next level for him. When we talk about him
Speaker 4: not being the elite yet, that's the next level. Don't
Speaker 4: give them the ball at midfield, just know.
Speaker 3: Well and the thumb will take care of it. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and you know he said, why don't talk about Trivors
Speaker 3: turnoversh We didn't talk about Trevors turnovers. One reason we
Speaker 3: don't spend a lot of time talking about it is
Speaker 3: I don't know how you suggest fixing it, because it's
Speaker 3: really just a matter of Christian Kirk ironically said last week,
Speaker 3: just concentrating in the moment. He fell victim to it
Speaker 3: again yesterday. It's an odd little trend going on right now.
Speaker 3: It's not little, but it really is threatening to define
Speaker 3: the season. And I wouldn't have thought that was going
Speaker 3: to be the case for the season.
Speaker 4: I mean, they came into the game leading the league
Speaker 4: with eighteen takeaways, and now they've got seventeen giveaways.
Speaker 5: To go with it.
Speaker 4: So I mean, you're negating the effort that your defense
Speaker 4: has given you. In in all fairness to Trevor, he couldn't
Speaker 4: set his feet yesterday. He was under a relentless attack
Speaker 4: and the Jaguars offensive line did not play a good game.
Speaker 4: When we expected that we might see that with Walker
Speaker 4: Little in the lineup and what we expected from the
Speaker 4: beginning of the season, he never had a chance to
Speaker 4: settle his feed. I don't think it's fair enough to
Speaker 4: me to interpret that he panicked, but it looked at times.
Speaker 5: Like it was. Uh oh, I would have yeah, I
Speaker 5: would have too.
Speaker 1: I mean this is the first of all the starting
Speaker 1: offensive line when this is what they wanted their offensive
Speaker 1: line to look like, and it was one of the
Speaker 1: worst games we've seen them play. Our final big thing
Speaker 1: this week is the panic button. Is it time to panic?
Speaker 1: I think we've kind of talked through that a little bit,
Speaker 1: but Frime's not panic button time. You got to reset.
Speaker 1: Use this as a moment. We talked a lot about
Speaker 1: last year. That Detroit game was a reset moment. You
Speaker 1: got a reset up to this quickly.
Speaker 4: I'm going to hit on this in my hot take,
Speaker 4: but you win the next two games against Tennessee and Houston,
Speaker 4: and it will not be easy based on what we
Speaker 4: saw yesterday. But if you win the next two games,
Speaker 4: you forget this when you put it in the review mirror.
Speaker 4: The Cowboys got their doors blown off by the San
Speaker 4: Francisco team while we were in London on Sunday night
Speaker 4: football forty two to ten. Tony Dungee told me when
Speaker 4: he was here last month it was one of the
Speaker 4: most dominant performances he had seen in recent years. And
Speaker 4: yet they got back dusted themselves off. They've won three
Speaker 4: of four. They could have won four or four. They
Speaker 4: could have won in Philadelphia if not for Dak Prescott
Speaker 4: stepping out of bounds. You can rebound good Detroit. They
Speaker 4: got blown out in Baltimore thirty eight to three, a humbling,
Speaker 4: embarrassing loss, and yet they won a big game yesterday
Speaker 4: in Los Angeles, and they have won seven games.
Speaker 5: You can do this. You can do this.
Speaker 4: Do not panic. This is not a bad football team.
Speaker 4: And I say do not panic. I'm not saying it
Speaker 4: to the people who are watching this. I'm saying it
Speaker 4: to the guys in that locker room. You can't panic.
Speaker 4: You just have to go and do your job.
Speaker 3: There's no point panic. I mean panicking all of a
Speaker 3: sudden you have people in the street, I.
Speaker 5: Mean cats and dogs living together.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's probably a little bit of my hot take,
Speaker 3: but there's not that many takes to have off this game,
Speaker 3: so if I overlap a little bit. They've been really
Speaker 3: good under Doug At responding to things like this. They
Speaker 3: won five straight after Detroit last year, five straight after
Speaker 3: Houston this year. To me, there's no reason, based on
Speaker 3: what I've seen from this team for the nine games,
Speaker 3: there's no reason to think that there were the last
Speaker 3: eight this year that they can't get five or six.
Speaker 3: They've done it before just because you do that. Yes, No,
Speaker 3: there's no reason to panic. What you wonder is how
Speaker 3: do you fix the things they're talking about fixing when
Speaker 3: you haven't done it through nine games. That's why they
Speaker 3: do what they do for a living. It's their job
Speaker 3: to fix it.
Speaker 1: I think the defense masked a lot of those issues
Speaker 1: for them so far this season, so we'll have to
Speaker 1: go over those things. Not a lot of highlights, but
Speaker 1: we're gonna look at the tape coming up after the break.

Speaker 1: Karen Jagsam, My dog had to listen to me rewatching
Speaker 1: some of the film yesterday and all the profanities coming
Speaker 1: out of my mouth, so I'm sure he was a
Speaker 1: little startled to what was going on. Not a lot
Speaker 1: of highlights to go over, guys, but we do have
Speaker 1: some stuff we want to look at from yesterday. Some
Speaker 1: of the key things we talked about, but turnovers, and
Speaker 1: I think just the way some of them came about
Speaker 1: was what I was shocked by because we talked so
Speaker 1: much about protecting the football and they've felt like they
Speaker 1: had turned a corner in some respects, but it really
Speaker 1: reared its head yesterday.
Speaker 4: Well, the Christian Kirk one is the hardest one to
Speaker 4: watch because with just over five minutes left to play,
Speaker 4: you've got an opportunity to put yourself, you know, within
Speaker 4: ten points, and that one took it away. But all
Speaker 4: of them are difficult because for in a game, the
Speaker 4: most in the season take you to seventeen on the year,
Speaker 4: and there's not many teams you're going to be when
Speaker 4: you turn the ball over four times, but not a
Speaker 4: team like that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the last one was a fourth down. We're just
Speaker 3: going it down the field. So whenever the I think
Speaker 3: the one that has to start working on is the
Speaker 3: funnels in the pocket. I think Trevor's got what thirteen
Speaker 3: turnovers this year? I think are quote his so that
Speaker 3: you're giving field position away, which they did a lot yesterday.
Speaker 3: The field position was a big deal early in the game,
Speaker 3: and I didn't have to drive as far as other
Speaker 3: offenses we're having to drive. The defense did a great job
Speaker 3: after that turnover of of sort of reeling it back in.
Speaker 3: That's loose callous disregard for the ball had a good
Speaker 3: way back in, which is what Tom's old phrase was,
Speaker 3: and it drives coach as crazy as than it should
Speaker 3: because you can't win doing that.
Speaker 1: You have to be played with the whistle too. I mean,
Speaker 1: the thing that got me on the Christian Kirk one
Speaker 1: was just the optics of him completely giving up on
Speaker 1: the play as they turn around and run it back.
Speaker 1: And yeah, they got bailed out because the forty nine
Speaker 1: ers came on the field. Otherwise they would have been
Speaker 1: a touchdown. And it kills me because it's Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: who's one of the best character guys in the team.
Speaker 1: He doesn't do and he does it in a terrible moment,
Speaker 1: and it's the one of the second or third times
Speaker 1: we've seen something thats in the Colts game we had
Speaker 1: to play with Tank and you're like, oh, it's the
Speaker 1: young guys and they're not following up and playing to
Speaker 1: the whistle and they run that ball back and that
Speaker 1: looked ridiculous and I'm seeing it again.
Speaker 4: Wouldn't you hate to be in that meeting room, the
Speaker 4: offensive meeting room this morning when this play gets run
Speaker 4: over and over and over again.
Speaker 1: They need to see it and they need to get
Speaker 1: mad because I watched that, and I get mad. Other
Speaker 1: than Evan Ingram and your quarterback running all the way.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that says something.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you that. I will say after watching that,
Speaker 1: that did make me feel better about that effort. But
Speaker 1: the beginning of it.
Speaker 4: Just everyone you're eating in that meeting room is going
Speaker 4: to see Trevor Lawrence the leader, running all the way
Speaker 4: down the field and thinking a tackle that had the
Speaker 4: Niners upset right diving at the guy at the end,
Speaker 4: But it doesn't matter the quarterback ran it down.
Speaker 1: You should to Let's look at some of those sex.
Speaker 1: We've talked a lot about the offensive line, but some
Speaker 1: of that, I mean, I'm not a professional football player.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to pretend I know what they're scheming
Speaker 1: out there, but that was frustrating to watch. Trevor never
Speaker 1: felt safe there. And then some of the decisions he
Speaker 1: was making based off that didn't look great either.
Speaker 3: Well it looked not to blame one person, but Walker
Speaker 3: Little got pushed back a few times. And but it
Speaker 3: wasn't just one guy. It just looked in this game
Speaker 3: like the forty nine Ers front was more big and
Speaker 3: powerful than the Jaguars from And maybe that wasn't what
Speaker 3: it was, but that's what it appeared. I think from
Speaker 3: what Doug said in the presser, there were always there
Speaker 3: were also some plays early where they just weren't executing right.
Speaker 3: So you say, well they can't block them, they can't. Well,
Speaker 3: if you're not doing what's called right, then that's gonna
Speaker 3: be more difficult too. It's so difficult to analyze something
Speaker 3: like this because it's so clearly everything going wrong.
Speaker 4: But I thought that the rookie right tackle had his
Speaker 4: day with Joey Bullsha. But you know when Bosham made
Speaker 4: the most pressures came from different spots. They lined him
Speaker 4: up over the center at times because they had identified
Speaker 4: a spot that had.
Speaker 5: Been pushed back a lot this year. Right.
Speaker 4: So it's not like you can just say, well, the
Speaker 4: rookie right tackle struggled. When you look at the tape,
Speaker 4: when you watch it again, you see that it was
Speaker 4: everybody that struggled. And there were times where you would
Speaker 4: see both left tackles, both offensive tackles standing. They're watching
Speaker 4: I mean light of the whistle at least, right, which
Speaker 4: is something that they're going to be yelled at about
Speaker 4: and will I mean, these guys are professional football players.
Speaker 5: They'll get yelled at today.
Speaker 4: And then they'll have to watch the tape again and
Speaker 4: they'll it'll be in their head that I gotta come
Speaker 4: play better.
Speaker 1: And it should be. Stay with us. After the break,
Speaker 1: we're gonna go over some of our hot takes for
Speaker 1: this team here in jacks Am. Daguars fans, you can

Speaker 1: we're in the Hundai studios and we're gonna go over
Speaker 1: some of our hot takes. I think it's I don't
Speaker 1: know if probably all on the same page with some
Speaker 1: of our hot takes. But what's your hot take? Brian?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 4: The AFC South Title Game will be two weeks from
Speaker 4: yesterday in Houston.
Speaker 5: I mean Look, the goal of this season is to
Speaker 5: win the division.
Speaker 4: Which ensures you a playoff game and if you do
Speaker 4: well enough, a home playoff game.
Speaker 5: So for these guys to win the division is the key.
Speaker 4: You're what two and one in the division now, and
Speaker 4: in the next two weeks you can get to four
Speaker 4: and one. You would be split with the Texans, you
Speaker 4: would have one game advantage and look the Titans at
Speaker 4: the end of the year with a rookie quarterback. You
Speaker 4: win the division if you win these next two games
Speaker 4: and you accompli a major goal for yourself for this season.
Speaker 4: So think about these next two weeks as being the
Speaker 4: whole season. Don't be thinking about primetime in December, you
Speaker 4: know in the Bengals and the Ravens. Next two weeks
Speaker 4: tell the story. And if you win the next two
Speaker 4: weeks and get yourself to eight and three with the
Speaker 4: division title pretty.
Speaker 5: Much in your back pocket, you put this one behind you.
Speaker 3: Here's how crazy this league is. If they don't sweep
Speaker 3: the Colts, it's basically a three way time for first
Speaker 3: place right now. So as rand about the Colts, and
Speaker 3: it kind of said, well, those wins don't matter. The
Speaker 3: Colts are bad.
Speaker 5: Five and five.
Speaker 3: Well, the Colts. If you don't beat the Colts, Colts
Speaker 3: are seven and three and lead the division. So I
Speaker 3: don't think the Colts are a great team. But my
Speaker 3: point is that's how much these division games swing things.
Speaker 3: Your sweep with the Colts has put the perception that
Speaker 3: they're bad and they're away in your rear view. The
Speaker 3: only two games out beat the Texans and the Titans.
Speaker 3: Exactly what Brian's talking about. All of a sudden, you
Speaker 3: feel like you feel good about yourself again.
Speaker 1: John. We're gonna talk about your hot TAKEE because it's
Speaker 1: about following up that performance we saw. Yeah, not only
Speaker 1: do you need to win, you need to play very
Speaker 1: well next game.
Speaker 3: Well, it's what I talked about earlier. The worst loss
Speaker 3: will require the best response is the worst loss to
Speaker 3: Doug Peterson era. It's even it. It's probably not that
Speaker 3: much different than the Detroit loss last year, where you
Speaker 3: just came out of it think, well, this seems not
Speaker 3: going anywhere. The Houston loss sort of the same thing.
Speaker 3: Earlier this year they won five in or after both
Speaker 3: of those games. This will take your best response because
Speaker 3: I think the expectations going into this were so much
Speaker 3: different and now it's gonna take your best response because
Speaker 3: you're going into your toughest stretch, not necessarily this game,
Speaker 3: but the stretch ahead. If you look at it on paper,
Speaker 3: the Texans have an easier schedule than the Jaguars or
Speaker 3: the next four or five games the Jaguars. I think
Speaker 3: most people looking at it objectively would say they're gonna
Speaker 3: have to sort of catch the Texans a little bit
Speaker 3: because the Texans schedule, except for the Jaguars, the Broncos
Speaker 3: are on there. There are teams with less than five
Speaker 3: hundred records. Derero's played a lot of good teams coming up.
Speaker 3: They have to go prove themselves again. Doug Peterson talked
Speaker 3: last week about it not being a proved game, well,
Speaker 3: in the NFL, I think he would rephrase that now.
Speaker 3: I don't think he necessarily meant that. In the NFL
Speaker 3: are all proved games, and they're gonna be proven games
Speaker 3: for this team going forward.
Speaker 4: Now, always tell my kids, it isn't what happens to you,
Speaker 4: it's what you do about it, right. I mean, that's
Speaker 4: a truism in life. It is about your response. And
Speaker 4: I am sure that that is a message that will
Speaker 4: resonate in these hallways throughout the course of the week.
Speaker 5: How do you respond?
Speaker 4: I asked Ug yesterday news news conference, if the Niners
Speaker 4: were truly a desperate team, right, they're a good team
Speaker 4: as we saw, But if they're truly a desperate team,
Speaker 4: do you want your team to come out and play desperate?
Speaker 4: And the answer is no. You don't want him to
Speaker 4: play desperate because it sounds like you're just heaving it
Speaker 4: all over the place. But you want there to be
Speaker 4: an air of desperation like we have have to show
Speaker 4: ourselves and our fans that we are not that team.
Speaker 4: They are desperate to prove to themselves how good they
Speaker 4: can be. Okay, well, you get it against the Titans
Speaker 4: team who came in with Joshua Dobbs last year on
Speaker 4: a six game losing streaky and took you to the brink.
Speaker 5: This is not the same Titans team.
Speaker 4: They've got some good players on defense, and Derrick Henry
Speaker 4: has shown this year given the right circumstances, he can
Speaker 4: make things easy on whoever's the quarterback, you better buckle up.
Speaker 1: My hot take this week is it's going to be
Speaker 1: a big week for the offense because if Day Joson
Speaker 1: could return. I have hope for this offense. I have
Speaker 1: not seen this offense do anything that I found proficient
Speaker 1: except maybe Travis etnet points all buys lonesome to give
Speaker 1: me any hope for this offense right now. I came
Speaker 1: into the season, we all had very high hopes, high scoring,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe one of the best in the league,
Speaker 1: but they haven't been able to get it done. We've
Speaker 1: talked about playing a crucial role on third down, or
Speaker 1: just being that quick out a target for Trevor that
Speaker 1: he trusts, and they miss him. Not only that, the
Speaker 1: lack of communication we've been seeing on offense. There's plays
Speaker 1: yesterday where you know, he's messing things up with Christian Kirk,
Speaker 1: one of his other safety targets, if you will, and
Speaker 1: things just don't look right. And maybe the playbook is
Speaker 1: centered too much about what Jay Jones brings to them,
Speaker 1: but they haven't evolved with that to this point. We're
Speaker 1: ten weeks in. It's a little late for me to say,
Speaker 1: you know it's gonna happen, It's gonna happen until Jay
Speaker 1: Jones returns. I don't think we're gonna see much unless
Speaker 1: they completely flip this thing around.
Speaker 4: And who would have ever thought that in a year
Speaker 4: that you add Calvin Ridley to the offense, that we
Speaker 4: would be talking about Jay Jones being one of the
Speaker 4: most important parts of it. John, We've been talking about,
Speaker 4: you know, what this defense might look like without Treyvon Walker, who,
Speaker 4: by the way, maybe played his best game as a
Speaker 4: pro yesterday. He was collapsing the pocket, hitting the quarterback.
Speaker 4: But we can't talk about that because they came up
Speaker 4: thirty four points, but he played really well. You don't
Speaker 4: want to see what this d defence looks like without
Speaker 4: Treyvon Walker. Well, we're seeing how important Jay Jones is
Speaker 4: by his absence.
Speaker 3: Yeah, And I think it's it's more subtle than it is.
Speaker 3: You know, the Vikings lose Justin Jefferson for example, and
Speaker 3: you know, you know, can't go to that guy. I
Speaker 3: think Zay's impact is more subtle. But I think it's
Speaker 3: really really important, and I think it's really important on
Speaker 3: those key plays. It's such a game of plays and moments.
Speaker 3: They didn't convert either of their first two third down
Speaker 3: opportunities yesterday. They haven't been as good on third down.
Speaker 3: You convert two more of those a game and doesn't
Speaker 3: sound like a lot, but convert one early yesterday all
Speaker 3: of a sudden that games you're not as tilted in
Speaker 3: the other direction as you were, so a few plays
Speaker 3: can make a difference.
Speaker 1: In z A.
Speaker 3: Jones has a tendency to make a few plays a
Speaker 3: game sure does.
Speaker 1: Stay with us. Coming up, we're gonna preview what we
Speaker 1: got going on the rest of the week here on
Speaker 1: jack XAM. Welcome back to jag Vam. Jags fans. If

Speaker 1: now to thank our jea's frontline teams for their critical
Speaker 1: services they provide to this community. Today, we'd like to
Speaker 1: recognize jaea's employee volunteers who have served over four thousand
Speaker 1: hours this year to benefit those in need throughout our community.
Speaker 1: Thank you for helping to make Northeast Florida a better place.
Speaker 7: I think there's a there's a handful of things that
Speaker 7: I've missed today that I have to do better, and
Speaker 7: I just getting asked to you guys. You know i'd
Speaker 7: I didn't play, didn't play well, and it's you're not
Speaker 7: gonna win much in this league when when the quarterback
Speaker 7: doesn't play well. So yeah, I gotta watch the tape
Speaker 7: and check some of that stuff out.
Speaker 1: Sure, so they're gonna be watching the tape today. I
Speaker 1: wouldn't wanna be in that room either cause I have
Speaker 1: a feeling it's not gonna go very well. But they
Speaker 1: need to hear it right about now. This week we're
Speaker 1: gonna hear from Traves YTN today, Rashon Jenkins today, Doug,
Speaker 1: how much of it is? Watch the film, sit in
Speaker 1: it for a minute, how much of it is? Okay? Yeah,
Speaker 1: but we also got to turn the page.
Speaker 5: It's a balance because we just talked about wanting them.
Speaker 4: To have that desperation of some desperation, right, so you
Speaker 4: can't entirely let go of it. But at the same time,
Speaker 4: you got the Titans coming in here and they're bringing
Speaker 4: in a better defense than they had a year ago.
Speaker 4: Jeffrey Simmons I think is right there with Chris Jones
Speaker 4: in terms of being able to blow up your game plan.
Speaker 4: So they got a lot to focus on this week.
Speaker 4: That's gonna be Doug's balance right, he's the head coach.
Speaker 4: He's got to find a way to get this team
Speaker 4: to play on that razor's edge of angry about the
Speaker 4: way that they played.
Speaker 5: Focused on the next two games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't worry about their mental approach, mainly because
Speaker 3: of Doug. I thought yesterday and the press conraence, he
Speaker 3: handled it well. It's always impressive when he's asked something
Speaker 3: tough after a game, he'll pause a second and think
Speaker 3: about it because he knows he wants to say the
Speaker 3: right things. You know, is that sets a tone?
Speaker 1: Uh?
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't worry about I'm stting a tone.
Speaker 3: I and I think there are players in this locker room.
Speaker 3: It's a veteran enough locker room. They've responded to this before.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 3: I think. I don't think that will be their issue
Speaker 3: going forward. I think it'll be more can you stop
Speaker 3: doing the things frankly, offensively that have gotten me in
Speaker 3: so much trouble that they continue to bite you. I
Speaker 3: think it remains more about execution than anything else.
Speaker 1: Execution acknowledging the mistakes. We're gonna turn the page on
Speaker 1: Jagsam starting on Wednesday, so we'll see then
