Welcome in final Jags Drive time until 15 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,480 Speaker 1: late February. We'll take a few weeks off, regroup, and 16 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: then get back to it. Um. He said they're gonna 17 00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,959 Speaker 1: be just fine, and I think all of us feel 18 00:01:18,040 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: like he is exactly right. Yeah, And anybody would tell 19 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:25,560 Speaker 1: you that it's important, and I don't doubt this team 20 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:30,600 Speaker 1: knows this and will follow this thus lee if you will. Um. 21 00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:35,360 Speaker 1: But we think they're gonna be good, and I think 22 00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 1: Trevor is gonna be really good. Uh. We've talked about nine, 23 00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:43,119 Speaker 1: all the comparisons, and I can't help it. I still 24 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:47,480 Speaker 1: feel that that team used that run as a launching 25 00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: pad to what we remember as a solid, rock solid 26 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,320 Speaker 1: time for the franchise. But you still have to go 27 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:56,720 Speaker 1: do it, and you still have to do the things 28 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,240 Speaker 1: around Trevor. He still has to grow. I mean, as 29 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: much as we're praising Trevor, if this is what he is, 30 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,520 Speaker 1: it's not good enough for his career. But this undoubtedly 31 00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: is a step. When I say that, you know we 32 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: all expect and he expects to be elite, otherworldly. This 33 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: season was not otherworldly. This season was a fantastic step 34 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,919 Speaker 1: towards what I am sure he's going to be. All 35 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,320 Speaker 1: that being said, it's still gotta go there. Well, you 36 00:02:28,360 --> 00:02:30,240 Speaker 1: gotta get better. You know. I was asked a lot 37 00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:31,680 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, why do you keep making 38 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,519 Speaker 1: comparisons to ninety six. There are people that don't recall that. 39 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,639 Speaker 1: He said, well, there's reason number one to do that. 40 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,080 Speaker 1: Those who do not know history are often doomed to 41 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: repeat it. The second thought on that though, was we 42 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:43,880 Speaker 1: hadn't had a season like that since, right, so it 43 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,000 Speaker 1: made sense. So let's put the PostScript right on the 44 00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 1: nine team so that you understand what might happen here. 45 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: The team won eleven ball games, or two more than 46 00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:56,600 Speaker 1: the team did in ninety six, but they got pounded 47 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,000 Speaker 1: in the wild card game by an energized Broncos team 48 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:02,799 Speaker 1: that ran for more than three hundred yards against them 49 00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:05,800 Speaker 1: that day. They didn't get good enough at stopping the 50 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,679 Speaker 1: run that year with two rookie tackles Rinaldo Went and 51 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: Seth Payne, and it wasn't until that they were good 52 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,480 Speaker 1: enough to go on and win another playoff game. This 53 00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: team has plenty of areas to get better, and we 54 00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 1: can talk about that ad nauseum, but what they do 55 00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:26,800 Speaker 1: is dependent on this offseason and how much better they get. Yeah, 56 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:30,040 Speaker 1: and you know, I M I believe it. For the 57 00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: most part. They're at a point in their in their 58 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 1: building where we're not going to see huge free agent moves. 59 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: I think the improvement should and needs to now start 60 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: coming more from within. But you draft a draft class 61 00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: in I don't expect that to carry the franchise in 62 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:00,600 Speaker 1: the twenty two draft class needs to be the mussey. 63 00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: These are muscles, Brian, in case you didn't recognize, that 64 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 1: needs to be the muscle of the franchise and that 65 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:10,880 Speaker 1: needs to continue to do that. That will be That's 66 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,160 Speaker 1: how you get to the Chiefs. That's how you get 67 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 1: to the Bengals is drafting and developing and having a 68 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 1: strong core of your roster. I have no core. Not 69 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: that did Brandon Sheriff apparently through the course of the season, 70 00:04:24,640 --> 00:04:26,680 Speaker 1: and we did talk with Jo Bulky yesterday and the 71 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:30,039 Speaker 1: Jaguars general manager acknowledged that this is that moment in 72 00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,400 Speaker 1: time where the Jaguars franchise goes from being big spenders 73 00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: during free agency, which doesn't always work it has the 74 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,760 Speaker 1: last two years, but to one that relies on their 75 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,120 Speaker 1: draft classes. And that's what John got to an important 76 00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:45,880 Speaker 1: point there, Brian. Um For people who here that and 77 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,720 Speaker 1: are used to reading everything about who won the off season, 78 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,480 Speaker 1: that's what we've been here for ten years, and that's 79 00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 1: what you will see over the next three or four 80 00:04:55,360 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: months is who won the off season. The Chiefs rarely 81 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 1: you win the off season. I'm I don't think the 82 00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,880 Speaker 1: Bengals won the off season. I think the Colts ever 83 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: won the off season. While you're reading this and you're 84 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 1: emailing me about why aren't they doing more, realize you 85 00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: don't maintain for ten years winning the off season every year. 86 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: You cannot do it. It will destroy your franchise over 87 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: the long hall ready for final big things for a month? Well, 88 00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 1: you know, if you have a choice. Every time somebody 89 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 1: asked me that, I always say, what's my choice? Your choices? 90 00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: That we're gonna play the music and get started. Hey, John, 91 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: you ready for the games? Why don't gonna play it? 92 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: All right? Let's go big thing? One accomplishment. Obviously, when 93 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,400 Speaker 1: you finish the season on a loss in the playoffs, 94 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:40,919 Speaker 1: it's tough. It leaves a taste in your mouth, no 95 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,800 Speaker 1: matter whether you were supposed to be there or not. 96 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 1: But Doug Peterson said on Monday in his final media 97 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,800 Speaker 1: gathering of the two thousand twenty two season that he 98 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:51,719 Speaker 1: did acknowledge what got done this year and felt it 99 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 1: was important for these guys to appreciate it and feel accomplished. 100 00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,799 Speaker 1: I think there is a sense of accomplishment um for 101 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,280 Speaker 1: you know, everything this team has gone through over the 102 00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: last year and a half. To go from, you know, 103 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:11,800 Speaker 1: one of the worst teams record wise a year ago 104 00:06:11,880 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: to winning a playoff game this year. There is a 105 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: sense of accomplishment, you know, and it's just a credit 106 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: to these guys, you know, to have the It all 107 00:06:20,560 --> 00:06:22,440 Speaker 1: starts in the off season, and it starts with the 108 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: amount of people that we had in the players that 109 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:25,760 Speaker 1: we had here in the off season to build the 110 00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 1: foundation to to to you know, start there and then 111 00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,000 Speaker 1: to just keep building upon that. It wasn't you know, obviously, 112 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:37,719 Speaker 1: you know, it wasn't a pretty season by any means, 113 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,360 Speaker 1: and we had we had that stretch in there. It 114 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,680 Speaker 1: was pretty rough on us. But you know, to every 115 00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:48,440 Speaker 1: every guy in there right now, um, they all had 116 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: a belief that we could we could accomplish our goals. 117 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: Big thing too, and this is an important one and 118 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: when we'll talk about a lot over the next couple 119 00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:00,440 Speaker 1: of months, continuity familiar, everydy, did you it works for 120 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:04,320 Speaker 1: the first time since the nineteen and twenty seasons, will 121 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: have the same coaching staff in place. Obviously, the talent 122 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,720 Speaker 1: level is much higher. So you've got a quarterback who 123 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:12,800 Speaker 1: is coming back to the same coaches in the same 124 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 1: system and the same players. Well, Dog Peterson says, your best. 125 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:22,120 Speaker 1: You cannot overestimate what that means. It's huge. It's it's 126 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: the same thing I've been telling the players this morning. 127 00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: The ones I've seen is, you know, especially the guys 128 00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: that are going to be back, I mean, there's familiarity. 129 00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,240 Speaker 1: You know, when the off season program starts, they know 130 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: exactly what to expect. They know what to expect during 131 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: O t A s. They know to expect during training camp. 132 00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:39,320 Speaker 1: They know the offense, the defense. They no special team. 133 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,320 Speaker 1: So it's and in for Trevor, it's it's everything. There's continuity, 134 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: there's consistency. He knows the guys he's gonna be throwing 135 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:49,920 Speaker 1: the ball to. He knows the coaching staff who's gonna 136 00:07:49,920 --> 00:07:54,360 Speaker 1: be coaching him. And um, that's that's Uh, that that's 137 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,720 Speaker 1: a big that's big for us. And from year one 138 00:07:56,760 --> 00:08:00,680 Speaker 1: to year two and and um, those are the you 139 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,760 Speaker 1: know the jumps that teams make is usually year one 140 00:08:03,800 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: year to possibly in the year three. Um, but for 141 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:12,240 Speaker 1: our quarterback, you know who had a great year this year, 142 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,920 Speaker 1: He'll only get better just having that that consistency around 143 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: him and wrapping up big things with decisions. Tread Bulky 144 00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 1: told us yesterday when he met with the media that 145 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,320 Speaker 1: they would get the coaching and scouting staffs together today. 146 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:28,680 Speaker 1: So the process of figuring out who and the when 147 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,800 Speaker 1: and how much and all of that begins right now. 148 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: You know. It's hard to put a time frame on it. 149 00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 1: It could be a day, it could be a couple 150 00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,560 Speaker 1: of days. Um, but you know, we're gonna do the 151 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080 Speaker 1: best for the Jags, you know. And and and making 152 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 1: sure that we have the right people here and and um, 153 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the guys that are free agents, 154 00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 1: I mean, they're they're the right type of guys that 155 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:52,120 Speaker 1: we want, you know. And and uh, and we hope 156 00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: to try to, you know, at least make an impact, 157 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:57,720 Speaker 1: you know, and trying to resign our own and those 158 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,520 Speaker 1: are big things on a Wednesday morning. And John Continuity 159 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 1: wanted to one who want to go back to first 160 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:07,480 Speaker 1: because it is so critical that this year, um, you 161 00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 1: will have a quarterback at his receivers, at a running 162 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: back and largely his offensive line with the same coaching 163 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,960 Speaker 1: staff all on the same page. When the off season 164 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: program begins. Well, I understand we have to run the 165 00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 1: whole SoundBite. You could have cut it when Doug said, 166 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:29,640 Speaker 1: it's everything, because if you believe that Doug Peterson knows 167 00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:32,440 Speaker 1: or has an idea how this is going to go, 168 00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:38,280 Speaker 1: which he's if. I do believe that, because he's proven that. 169 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,040 Speaker 1: He said over and over early in the season. If 170 00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:48,520 Speaker 1: you remember, first year in this system, is difficult for 171 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,679 Speaker 1: Trevor and these receivers to be where they ought to be. Remember, 172 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:54,320 Speaker 1: I mean, and that was a theme through up until 173 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,480 Speaker 1: two and six, and even even up until about four 174 00:09:56,520 --> 00:10:00,200 Speaker 1: and eight. He pounded that theme and every said he's 175 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,600 Speaker 1: making excuses that this Well, he was right, and once 176 00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:09,439 Speaker 1: they got a little familiarity, look what happened. He has 177 00:10:09,480 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: not said this because you don't say this as a coach. 178 00:10:13,120 --> 00:10:17,240 Speaker 1: I firmly believe that he believes that this thing is 179 00:10:17,280 --> 00:10:19,959 Speaker 1: going to take off in year two in this system, 180 00:10:20,080 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: and that Trevor is going to absolutely a skyrocket. Whatever 181 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 1: you saw from him is going to be on steroids 182 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:34,320 Speaker 1: next year. UM. I was asked a few days ago, 183 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,439 Speaker 1: what does he need to improve the most when he's 184 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:41,680 Speaker 1: at his best? Very little. What he needs to improve 185 00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:46,720 Speaker 1: is the consistency. Um, you know all the slow starts, Well, 186 00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,760 Speaker 1: don't you believe. It's not that we haven't seen it, 187 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: we just didn't see it very often for entire games, 188 00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: which is why they were coming back. It's why they 189 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: were That's why they were tenant eight and not fourteen 190 00:10:56,760 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: and three. Um, the can this and seeing continuity theme. 191 00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:03,400 Speaker 1: People are gonna get tired of us talking about it, 192 00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,960 Speaker 1: but I cannot believe it for the first eight games 193 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 1: the next season, I think you're going to see and healthy. 194 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 1: As long as everything is what we think is gonna be, 195 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:14,880 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be off the rail. Look, just 196 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:16,439 Speaker 1: go back to the mic up that we began the 197 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,760 Speaker 1: show with where you had Za Jones standing next to 198 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,560 Speaker 1: Trevor on the sidelines and he said, we're gonna be 199 00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 1: just fine. He knows. They all know where they're ending 200 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:29,319 Speaker 1: the season. They're ending the season hopefully they were hoping 201 00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:31,800 Speaker 1: to be better, is what I meant to say. But 202 00:11:31,880 --> 00:11:34,000 Speaker 1: they know they will be. And now and this is 203 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,839 Speaker 1: the next factor. Now you mix in another receiver and 204 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 1: accomplished receiver in Calvin Ridley, who we all expect will 205 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,160 Speaker 1: be reinstated between now in April seventeen. Now you've got 206 00:11:43,240 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 1: one more explosive piece to the puzzle. It just it's 207 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,360 Speaker 1: hard not to believe this whole thing isn't going to 208 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:52,920 Speaker 1: find it find its gear. We'll have Calvin Ridley will 209 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,360 Speaker 1: have his day that he's a huge topic this offseason. 210 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 1: But think about this receiver corps. If you've got a 211 00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:03,319 Speaker 1: guy drawn double team. Yeah, I mean it's and that's 212 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,120 Speaker 1: why I think people are excited about it. As a 213 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: Jones had a really good year. Christians had a really 214 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: good year, and I'm I'm not sure that they were 215 00:12:11,880 --> 00:12:16,240 Speaker 1: in their ideal roles. You not a Christian Kirk if 216 00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 1: you allow him not to have to be the go 217 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:22,640 Speaker 1: to guy at times. And that's even it's almost not 218 00:12:22,679 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 1: a fair way to describe this offense because it doesn't 219 00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:27,320 Speaker 1: play that way. It doesn't play go to guy. But 220 00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: for people who if defenses have to pay attention to 221 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 1: Ridley or Kirk, you're at one more guy, it's gonna 222 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: be huge and it's one more thing where they go on. 223 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 1: It would be more than one more than government. Um 224 00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:46,040 Speaker 1: the very top the accomplishment part. As a human being, 225 00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:50,720 Speaker 1: you have to sometimes look back and say, Okay, where 226 00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 1: are we and what are we going? And where are 227 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:56,160 Speaker 1: we going? They must take time to realize what an 228 00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,840 Speaker 1: accomplishment this was. Uh, it shouldn't be the topic on 229 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:06,559 Speaker 1: a but right now, if as a person, if if 230 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,240 Speaker 1: you were involved in heavy lifting this, I'm not saying us, 231 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,320 Speaker 1: I'm saying the people who heavy lifted this thing. If 232 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: you can't feel a sense of accomplishment out of this, 233 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be in this business. Well, the other word 234 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 1: to use here is satisfaction. To be satisfied with what 235 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:21,839 Speaker 1: they got done this year. But it goes counter to 236 00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: the culture, and especially the culture in social media where 237 00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: it's always next, next, next. If you don't feel satisfied, 238 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,199 Speaker 1: then you're missing. One of the great benefits to this 239 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: season was a sense of satisfaction. Hey, they won. They 240 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,400 Speaker 1: had two of the most memorable home games here against 241 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 1: the Titans and against the Chargers in Jaguars history. And 242 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,720 Speaker 1: they went on the road and in the fourth quarter 243 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,800 Speaker 1: with five and a half minutes left, they had a 244 00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,640 Speaker 1: chance to put themselves in position to take the game. 245 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,200 Speaker 1: You must be satisfied with what got done this year 246 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,160 Speaker 1: and set your expectations for next year. Hey, we've got expectations. 247 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: For the next segment of the show, we're going around 248 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 1: the locker room we'll hear from a lot of the 249 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,880 Speaker 1: guys on this season when we return here to Jack's 250 00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,439 Speaker 1: Drive Time on a Wednesday morning from t I A 251 00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: a backfield in Jacksonville. Welcome back to Jack's Drive Time, 252 00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,960 Speaker 1: brought to you by our friends at Jet Home Loans, 253 00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,760 Speaker 1: Brian and John with you wrapping up the season, and 254 00:14:20,760 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 1: then we'll return on February twenty feet and it will 255 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 1: be an every Tuesday show throughout the off season. Let's 256 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,480 Speaker 1: get right into the locker room. Monday, the players cleaned 257 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: out their lockers, said goodbye to their teammates, and shared 258 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: some thoughts on the season that was and will begin 259 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 1: with Travis E. T N, who finished a tremendous first 260 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: year even though it was his second year, first year 261 00:14:42,280 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: after returning from injury. Ah yes, sir, yes, sir, H 262 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: definitely did. I definitely uh really, um, I had my 263 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 1: notes and I was kind of just checking them before 264 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:53,480 Speaker 1: I came here, and I really had a bit of 265 00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,480 Speaker 1: year plan for myself. That's just kind of the belief 266 00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 1: I have in myself. Uh, the system that Doug has 267 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: around here, and I feel like there are times that 268 00:15:01,200 --> 00:15:03,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't playing my best ball, but I feel like 269 00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: and then the season, the team maybe most I started 270 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: playing my best ball and that's what matters, and I 271 00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,880 Speaker 1: thought I'm gonna take the momentum next year and moved 272 00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:14,240 Speaker 1: forward with it. And he's a guy that they are 273 00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 1: expecting big things from. Ye I don't know if he's 274 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:22,040 Speaker 1: necessarily I'm gonna have four or five years all bigger 275 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: than eleven yards rushing, you know. But I don't think 276 00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: he needs to to be an incredibly important figure in 277 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: this offense. I think as you as the offense, he 278 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 1: gets smoother and better. En I say smoother, a's me 279 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:42,160 Speaker 1: more consistent. Um. I think he will compliment the passing 280 00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,440 Speaker 1: game more, and I think there'll be four or five 281 00:15:44,480 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: games a year that he explodes and tennery Levin where 282 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: he doesn't need to explode and he has four or 283 00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: five key runs. But I think he's the perfect piece 284 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: in this puzzle if you follow me. And that's not 285 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 1: to say it's not to diminish his role, but it's 286 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 1: never gonna be an offense. I don't think ideally, Doug 287 00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,120 Speaker 1: once an offense where you're turning around, hand the ball 288 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: the running back and that guy is getting hundred and 289 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: forty yards game. So but I think he is going 290 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:15,239 Speaker 1: to be a great complimentary piece. I wouldn't be surprised 291 00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:20,880 Speaker 1: if there's another running back somewhere in the mix next year. Uh, 292 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,840 Speaker 1: although that's really a slight to Hasty, who did a 293 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120 Speaker 1: great job. So I don't know that they have to 294 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 1: improve that. But I don't know the et is gonna 295 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:34,040 Speaker 1: be the primary primary back. I think they like rotating him, 296 00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 1: but I think he's a huge piece of this puzzle 297 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: and they would be worse without him. I think you're 298 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 1: looking for a guy who, when you've got a ten 299 00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,800 Speaker 1: point leading the fourth quarter, you can hand it off 300 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: to him ten twelve times away. Maybe that's Hasty, maybe 301 00:16:46,440 --> 00:16:48,400 Speaker 1: that's Snoop Connor, but a guy who you just want 302 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 1: to keep giving it to over and over and over 303 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: and finishing off games. All right. The first overall picking 304 00:16:54,600 --> 00:16:56,920 Speaker 1: the draft last year was Trayvon Walker. He was a 305 00:16:56,960 --> 00:16:59,800 Speaker 1: player of impact at times this season, and he told 306 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: us Monday that he wants to be a dominant player 307 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,160 Speaker 1: in his second NFL season. I always know I could 308 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,280 Speaker 1: be a dominant player without questioning. I was just a 309 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,120 Speaker 1: fact of me knowing the ends and out of football, 310 00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 1: Like you have to really know the game of football 311 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:16,479 Speaker 1: to once you plan against such savvy guys as a 312 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,960 Speaker 1: lot of these veterans in the league. So John we 313 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,200 Speaker 1: knew that Trayvon Walker was a guy who wasn't gonna 314 00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: win the sack battle in his first season against Aiden Hutchinson, 315 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,320 Speaker 1: who you all recall was the other player the Jaguars 316 00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: considered there and who went number two to the Detroit Lions. 317 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that he didn't have moments this 318 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 1: year where you said, wow, look at the number one 319 00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:39,720 Speaker 1: overall pick and his impact on the game. Yeah, he Uh, 320 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: he affected things. I don't think they would have been 321 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 1: uh nearly as good defensively, and I don't think they 322 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: were great defensively. I think they were spectacular at times 323 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,439 Speaker 1: defensively and effective defensively when they needed to be a lot. 324 00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,159 Speaker 1: I think they would like to get more consistent in 325 00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,560 Speaker 1: that area as well. But I think Trey On Walker 326 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:02,239 Speaker 1: was a big reason that they were as good as 327 00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 1: they were. To me, the judgment clock on him now 328 00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 1: starts because he's playing a a a tough position to 329 00:18:13,240 --> 00:18:17,000 Speaker 1: come in and uh what he was trying to do 330 00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:22,520 Speaker 1: to transition to a pass rusher and be effective as 331 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,359 Speaker 1: a rookie. It is difficult. Uh. I don't I don't 332 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:30,600 Speaker 1: really pay much attention to rookie performance in terms of 333 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: how I think they're going to be in their career. 334 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:39,720 Speaker 1: Now he needs to start being more impactful. Uh. I 335 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 1: think now you can start judging that a lot better 336 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,720 Speaker 1: than you can as a rookie. All Right, we use 337 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,800 Speaker 1: the word continuity in the A block during Big Things 338 00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,959 Speaker 1: and Johnson you're going to hear it a lot. Well, 339 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 1: let's hear about it from the quarterback Vil Lawrence. It 340 00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: feels good, you know, knowing that just the foundation that 341 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: we have here, that we that we set this season 342 00:18:58,359 --> 00:19:01,280 Speaker 1: and last offseason, and just knowing that I'm going to 343 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 1: be in the same system and all those things moving forward. 344 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:06,919 Speaker 1: I Mean, I'm really excited to have that experience and 345 00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:08,879 Speaker 1: just have all this this tape to learn from and 346 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,160 Speaker 1: so many things that you know, as as many things 347 00:19:12,160 --> 00:19:13,480 Speaker 1: that we did good this year, there's a lot of 348 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,320 Speaker 1: things that we can do better and just just the 349 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: improvements that we can make, and UM, that's really exciting 350 00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,879 Speaker 1: moving Forward'm not gonna have to learn new offense and 351 00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,800 Speaker 1: just to have that stability. Um, it's really exciting for 352 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:25,520 Speaker 1: myself for for all of our guys on offense, and um, 353 00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:29,560 Speaker 1: it's it's really exciting. I don't think he knows yet 354 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,440 Speaker 1: how excited he is. It makes any sense because um, 355 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,520 Speaker 1: he had been through this. Uh. I think he's been 356 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 1: told by the coaches, Hey, year two in a system 357 00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: is going to be really cool for lack of a 358 00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: better word, and he's hopeful. Um. I think by next 359 00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:53,919 Speaker 1: training camp he will be able from experience and authority 360 00:19:54,440 --> 00:19:58,280 Speaker 1: to say wow, you know, and he probably won't because 361 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 1: you don't want to give away your hand, right think 362 00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:04,760 Speaker 1: he I think by next training camp he will feel, uh, 363 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:10,000 Speaker 1: he will feel sort of like a gambler in Vegas 364 00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:14,040 Speaker 1: who knows how the game's gonna come out. Well, look, 365 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:16,280 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. In three he's gonna have 366 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,640 Speaker 1: confidence that it's gonna be really special. In three years 367 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: at Clemson, he had the same offense all three years. 368 00:20:21,359 --> 00:20:23,679 Speaker 1: But in three years since right his last year at 369 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,119 Speaker 1: Clemson and his first years in the NFL, he's had 370 00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: different systems and different coordinators and different talent. So I'm 371 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,840 Speaker 1: sure that he's looking forward to feeling as if he's 372 00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,600 Speaker 1: got a mastery of the offense as opposed to still 373 00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,840 Speaker 1: learning the nuances and technology are. One area that we 374 00:20:38,920 --> 00:20:40,680 Speaker 1: paid a lot of attention to this year was the 375 00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 1: Jaguars locker room. It wasn't necessarily very strong ine and 376 00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson made that emphasis. I know I'm under selling 377 00:20:48,880 --> 00:20:51,159 Speaker 1: that at this point, trying not to beat the drums 378 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:53,639 Speaker 1: of the past too loud this morning, because it's the 379 00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:56,000 Speaker 1: future that we're focused on. And Christian Kirk says, from 380 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 1: a locker room perspective, they got this one. Well, I 381 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: think we have, like I said, the foundation here. We 382 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:06,919 Speaker 1: have the core guys that we need here to you know, 383 00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 1: help you know, keep that going. You know what we 384 00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: have have established and you know, for all the new 385 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,280 Speaker 1: guys that that come in UM to be able to 386 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: buy into that. And it's on you know, the leaders 387 00:21:16,600 --> 00:21:18,600 Speaker 1: and the guys in this locker room to help, you know, 388 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,879 Speaker 1: kind of insinuate that you know with them and you know, 389 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:23,359 Speaker 1: for them to buy in UM. But I know, with 390 00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,920 Speaker 1: you know, Doug and you know Trent, with the type 391 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 1: of guys that they look for and that they want 392 00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:29,520 Speaker 1: to bring in, They're gonna bring in the right guys. 393 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:30,800 Speaker 1: You know, they did it this year and they'll do 394 00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:32,159 Speaker 1: it again and so that you know, it would be 395 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,439 Speaker 1: easy for those guys coming and buy it. Yeah, we 396 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:37,680 Speaker 1: talked about it a lot all year, but I think 397 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:43,160 Speaker 1: in this final show you've got to give the front 398 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: office Trent Baky, whoever was doing the research on these guys, 399 00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:52,760 Speaker 1: to me, this was an amazing free agent class, uh, 400 00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,280 Speaker 1: to be able to bring in guys who truly made 401 00:21:55,280 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: an impact this fast, who all became core players very quickly. 402 00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:07,360 Speaker 1: Again on the list, Lou Khan, Ingram Kirk, Uh, Jones 403 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 1: is A Jones, Uh, Darius Williams Uh, Brandon Sherriff Arden Key. 404 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,719 Speaker 1: I mean you're talking about what seven or eight guys 405 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:22,359 Speaker 1: all who had impact, all who fit. You know, we 406 00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: talk all the time about this team doesn't have core 407 00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: guys who have grown. Um. I think that's key. I 408 00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:31,240 Speaker 1: think that's what the franchise will look like in five years. 409 00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: As a GM, when you don't have that, you try 410 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 1: very hard to find free agents who can be that 411 00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:41,479 Speaker 1: for the short term and come in and feel like 412 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: they've been here for five years. Those guys I listed 413 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: Brian feel like they've been here for four or five years. Uh. 414 00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 1: And I think did that letters You have to add Robertson, 415 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: Harris and Ray Sean Jenkins from the year before, absolutely 416 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 1: and and Marvin Jones, who, uh, Marvin Jones me was 417 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:03,120 Speaker 1: a remarkable story this year, who didn't have the numbers 418 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:07,960 Speaker 1: that he's used to in his career, but had huge plays. 419 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 1: I mean, this team is not in the playoffs without 420 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:17,840 Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and fit accepted role was leader. Uh, it 421 00:23:17,920 --> 00:23:21,240 Speaker 1: was a remarkable job. Credit to the players and the 422 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: GM for putting this together. When I don't know if 423 00:23:24,920 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 1: people realize. Everybody says in April, hey, here's my free 424 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,439 Speaker 1: agent list. You see it on the internet, here's my 425 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 1: ideal free agents. It never works out. No, unbelievable that 426 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: it worked out this way where you feel like these 427 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 1: guys and I even know what this word means, but 428 00:23:42,119 --> 00:23:44,960 Speaker 1: you feel like they're jaguars. And how many times, Brian, 429 00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: you've been here twenty seven years, how many times have 430 00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,440 Speaker 1: free agents come in and you can't wait to see 431 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: them leave? Exactly, Hugh Douglas. For those of you who 432 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 1: put a long time, this ain't that. So it's impressive. Alright, 433 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: Three more we want to get through here. Josh Alan 434 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:03,160 Speaker 1: talked about the defense and the improvement that they saw 435 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: this year, starting back with Tennessee. I think the sister 436 00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:12,159 Speaker 1: urgency picked up tremendously because we needed it to. Uh So, 437 00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,159 Speaker 1: to have that approach, you know, going into the season 438 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,800 Speaker 1: next year early, it's gonna be you know, detrimental for us. 439 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,720 Speaker 1: But you know, I love who we had, Love that 440 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: we never waived running to love that we never quit 441 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:26,879 Speaker 1: on anybody or quitting each other first and almost and 442 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:29,400 Speaker 1: we just saw what we can improve and each we too, 443 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,920 Speaker 1: we improved. Uh we didn't get to take aways we 444 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: wanted to the last couple of weeks, and you know, 445 00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,280 Speaker 1: and it goes back to when we won those games. 446 00:24:36,600 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: We did what we needed to do as a defense. 447 00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: We did our you know, stop to run the fecial quarterback, 448 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 1: create takeaways. You know, we do those two things we 449 00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,840 Speaker 1: win games. We didn't do those things as well, and 450 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: we didn't you know, the outcome was the outcome. Uh So, 451 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: you know, really really coming back after that another year 452 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,280 Speaker 1: of the scheme and knowing where we need to be 453 00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,160 Speaker 1: in certain offenses that we're gonna play this year, well 454 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: next year, uh it's gonna help out a lot. Yeah, 455 00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:05,440 Speaker 1: And I think something he said they're sort of hit home, 456 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 1: and I guess this is what they're kind of looking 457 00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:12,399 Speaker 1: at in the playoffs in't ma any takeaways. Um, so 458 00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:16,760 Speaker 1: that's where the defense it was great to takeaways all year. 459 00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,359 Speaker 1: I think that's where you need to get a little 460 00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:26,920 Speaker 1: higher end pass rush overall consistency to get the takeaways 461 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: against the better teams in big situations. And that's a 462 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,720 Speaker 1: little bit. Takeaways are tough, and two games isn't really 463 00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,640 Speaker 1: a fair trend. But you know what I'm getting. They 464 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: need to get, you know, higher end pass rush. Josh 465 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: Allen will be interesting next year. Um. He had a 466 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: really good second half the season. I know people are 467 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: sort of down on him numbers wise. You know, he's 468 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 1: a little hard to figure out in terms of analysis. 469 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:57,720 Speaker 1: In that way, I will be interduced interested to see 470 00:25:57,960 --> 00:26:01,399 Speaker 1: next year. Can he be for the entire season what 471 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: he was in the second half. If he is, that's good. 472 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:07,240 Speaker 1: So something to watch next year. Playing on his fifth 473 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,880 Speaker 1: year option, his contract status, they could update it as 474 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:12,879 Speaker 1: well if they decided over the second half of the 475 00:26:12,920 --> 00:26:15,120 Speaker 1: season that he's worthy of it. He's got an eleven 476 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: a half million dollar fifth year option and they need 477 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:19,360 Speaker 1: some breathing room there. He might be one of those 478 00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: guys that they make a decision. Would be interesting to 479 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:23,240 Speaker 1: see on that front. He said the other day that 480 00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,640 Speaker 1: they hadn't talked about it yet. Uh, it's probably something 481 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:28,680 Speaker 1: they're still talking about. So I don't know what's going 482 00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,600 Speaker 1: all that starts today, all right. Two more Loukon in 483 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,680 Speaker 1: the post game at Arrowhead Stadium talked about his experience 484 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,560 Speaker 1: in his first playoff run. He talked about it again 485 00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:42,679 Speaker 1: on Monday in terms of hitting that big time football moment. 486 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,600 Speaker 1: The long season doesn't play playoff football. Um, that was 487 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: all new to me. I put my heart in for 488 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:51,720 Speaker 1: a seasons like, oh, we got more games and every 489 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: every game after that's a championship game. So um, to 490 00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: be right there with the contender, I feel like we 491 00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: didn't play our cleaners football and ever we were seven 492 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,960 Speaker 1: points and now at the end of the game, let's 493 00:27:01,040 --> 00:27:02,520 Speaker 1: let's do what we need to do early in this 494 00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: season so we can be are playing our best football 495 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,159 Speaker 1: that late in the season. It's an important mind. I 496 00:27:08,160 --> 00:27:11,280 Speaker 1: mean Trent mentioned yesterday when you talked to Trent, Balky 497 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:14,680 Speaker 1: and Doug talked about it all year. So I think 498 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,640 Speaker 1: it's starting to permeate the franchise a little bit. There 499 00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:22,359 Speaker 1: is a mentality that goes along with being in a 500 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 1: perennial playoff team, and Doug talked about it all year, 501 00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 1: having to be prepared to play in in January and 502 00:27:29,359 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: into February. Uh, players they've only been like a tennory 503 00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:36,080 Speaker 1: eleven players who had been in the playoffs around here, 504 00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:40,359 Speaker 1: so it didn't permeate the locker room. Foyer talked about 505 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:45,120 Speaker 1: sort of feeling it in January. Oh, okay, we got 506 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:47,680 Speaker 1: more games, and I think he went on to say, 507 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 1: I think it was him who said it. Yeah, I'll 508 00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:55,960 Speaker 1: my mindset next year will be that. Now. Um, that's 509 00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:01,080 Speaker 1: not nothing if the players are expecting that ready or it. Uh, 510 00:28:01,119 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 1: there's something to that. And Trent, I thought, said it 511 00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:10,959 Speaker 1: in a very interesting way. Uh, it felt like after 512 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: Detroit and Trent didn't reference Detroit, but putting two and 513 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,560 Speaker 1: two together, like the teams sort of started to get 514 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,200 Speaker 1: how you had prepared the intensity level that you needed 515 00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: to win this time of year, and you did sort 516 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:26,919 Speaker 1: of see them learn that, you saw the results come 517 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,400 Speaker 1: from that. I think all that sort of ties together. 518 00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 1: It's why I think you will see this team move 519 00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 1: into that status of every year. I'm say they win 520 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,600 Speaker 1: the Vision every year because but every year contending, every 521 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:44,680 Speaker 1: year ten wins. Ish it feels like they know mentally 522 00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 1: what it takes to get there. Now, All right, let's 523 00:28:46,680 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: hear finally from Evan Ingram, who is the free agent. 524 00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: Most people are concerned with the tight end, coming off 525 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 1: the best year of his career, and he's interested in 526 00:28:56,400 --> 00:29:02,760 Speaker 1: being in Jacksonville. Yeah, I mean, conversations will get there. 527 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,400 Speaker 1: Uh you know, it's I think everything will take care 528 00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: of himself in that aspect. But um, like I said before, 529 00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,280 Speaker 1: there's definitely a place where I want to be. I 530 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,880 Speaker 1: don't know where I want to continue my career and uh, 531 00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: you know, be a part of work being built here. 532 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,680 Speaker 1: For sure. I think he'll be back, and I don't 533 00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: want to minimize the drama of it. Uh. Understanding from 534 00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: both sides is that they both want to be back 535 00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: and feel like something's gonna have to make it work. 536 00:29:28,440 --> 00:29:31,959 Speaker 1: My senses, the franchise tag if everything doesn't work out, 537 00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:34,080 Speaker 1: franchise tag is a possibility for Evan and it just 538 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: seems right to me. The bigger question Joan Taylor, who 539 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:44,520 Speaker 1: had a phenomenal year. Um, I think they really want 540 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:48,520 Speaker 1: him back, and you wonder about the numbers getting stratospheric 541 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,480 Speaker 1: for a for a right tackle in this league right now? 542 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: Um my senses is there both back, but Jawan is 543 00:29:56,720 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 1: the one that I'll really watch, not because Evan isn't 544 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,840 Speaker 1: isn't important, but my gut is that that works out. 545 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,960 Speaker 1: I hope they're both back because Joant is the kind 546 00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:09,760 Speaker 1: of guy that you need draft develop turn into big 547 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,840 Speaker 1: time player, good guy to have around the locker room. Uh, 548 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: that's the kind of guy when they talk about signing 549 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:19,680 Speaker 1: their own, that's what you want. Hold off because that's mine. 550 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,720 Speaker 1: This about which is our next segment. We'll take a 551 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:25,160 Speaker 1: quick break and return.

Isn't that amazing 567 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,920 Speaker 1: that N six was something that I always thought would 568 00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 1: never be repeated, Not because I looked back with rose 569 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,760 Speaker 1: colored glasses on this great you know, but because it 570 00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,840 Speaker 1: was so unusual and and because it was such a 571 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:43,840 Speaker 1: moment where a franchise that was unknown all of a 572 00:31:43,840 --> 00:31:52,360 Speaker 1: sudden had relevancy. Well, this franchise needed that. And at 573 00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,680 Speaker 1: at two and six you started mentioning before I did, 574 00:31:54,720 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 1: and I was like, let's just not go there because, um, 575 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:06,120 Speaker 1: but you know, I don't know which is more memorable. 576 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: I think what's cool is twenty six years apart. I 577 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,320 Speaker 1: have been told by some people, Hey, I've always heard 578 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:20,680 Speaker 1: about ninety six. Uh I read about it. Wow, this 579 00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: is what it was. Yeah, that's what it was. How cool? 580 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,200 Speaker 1: So and that's what's really cool to me is the 581 00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:32,200 Speaker 1: fact that two and two whatever, it's fun again. And 582 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:37,560 Speaker 1: I hope that people who watched this embrace that what 583 00:32:37,720 --> 00:32:40,640 Speaker 1: a ride, What a moment? How cool? Seasons like that 584 00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: intrench you, right, they dig you into the community. I 585 00:32:43,920 --> 00:32:47,560 Speaker 1: thought about this um as as it was going along, 586 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:51,320 Speaker 1: and I thought, which one would I say was was better? 587 00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: Which one was more important. I'm gonna stick with ninety 588 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:56,680 Speaker 1: six still because they got to the a f C 589 00:32:56,840 --> 00:32:59,240 Speaker 1: Championship Game. But if they had gotten there this year, 590 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: gotten the game, I probably would have said this year. 591 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: But if you go back to Tom Coffin was four 592 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: and seven and under fire. They were talking about firing him. Right. 593 00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,160 Speaker 1: People in the community were like, you gotta change coaches. 594 00:33:12,520 --> 00:33:15,320 Speaker 1: It's a little different this year. Doug was kidding and 595 00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 1: he had some room. It wasn't the pressure situation that 596 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 1: Tom was under that year. But had they won in 597 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,360 Speaker 1: Kansas City, I was fully prepared to say the two 598 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: was gonna take a notch up. Here's the thing. Who cares? 599 00:33:28,760 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: They were both wonderful and you know, at as a 600 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,440 Speaker 1: couple of old cynical guys or I'm cynical, you're the 601 00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: rosy adsmin um. Thankful to be a part of it 602 00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 1: and glad to have experienced well, and that you're back 603 00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:46,920 Speaker 1: because you spent all those years in the indie to 604 00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: see both ends right, to see it again. Um, And 605 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: I remember thinking in ninety wonderful we'll ever see this again? 606 00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 1: And I'm more glad and they were way over but 607 00:33:56,800 --> 00:34:03,240 Speaker 1: um from the internet, not really time. Glad for the fans. 608 00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:06,680 Speaker 1: I said this before, but to me, it's the overriding 609 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,839 Speaker 1: theme of the season. This fan base that has been 610 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:16,000 Speaker 1: so loyal and so passionate and so uh rained down 611 00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 1: upon from the national media. That was always a great 612 00:34:19,480 --> 00:34:24,959 Speaker 1: fan base. I got to enjoy this, got to see 613 00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:28,080 Speaker 1: it at the thrill of it, got to see him 614 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:33,000 Speaker 1: at home. Uh. I don't know. Short of a Super Bowl, 615 00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,279 Speaker 1: I don't know how they how they could have been 616 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:38,840 Speaker 1: given more and how deserving it was. And their numbers 617 00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: grew because you brought a lot of people in who 618 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 1: weren't necessarily committed fans and they enjoyed the ride as well. Okay, 619 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,640 Speaker 1: you touched on mind. So we'll go real quickly through it. 620 00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:49,480 Speaker 1: Mine is Juan Taylor, Evan Ingram. Which one do you 621 00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:55,040 Speaker 1: want to get done most or let's change it first. 622 00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 1: What's the priority? I'm gonna say Juan Taylor. And here's why. 623 00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,960 Speaker 1: Because the offensive line of the Kansas City Chiefs showed 624 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,719 Speaker 1: me where this team has to go. When Mahomes was 625 00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,880 Speaker 1: injured and they had Chad Henning on the two yard line. 626 00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:12,879 Speaker 1: From that moment forward in the game, the quarterback was clean. 627 00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:16,399 Speaker 1: They took over the game. Juwan Taylor was a huge part, 628 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:18,520 Speaker 1: probably the best offensive line and they had this year. 629 00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279 Speaker 1: I want to keep the offensive line going forward and 630 00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: getting better. So I'm saying Juwan Taylor is number one 631 00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:27,919 Speaker 1: and Evan Ingram comes into a very close number two. 632 00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:31,960 Speaker 1: Yeah there, gosh, you want them both. I mean, it's 633 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,759 Speaker 1: it's uh And I do think my gut feeling is 634 00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:41,480 Speaker 1: that I am sure that Ingram's gonna be here. Juwan 635 00:35:41,920 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: just because of the nature of the position, the age, 636 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:48,200 Speaker 1: and how well he played. I worry about more. I 637 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:52,960 Speaker 1: worry about their high end contract that the Jaguars just say, 638 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:56,040 Speaker 1: you know what, I just can't match it. We've talked 639 00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:58,759 Speaker 1: so long about not letting your own guys, that's your 640 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:01,560 Speaker 1: good players go. Now you finally have some. Here's sort 641 00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:06,520 Speaker 1: of the dilemma in this offense. Uh. I think you 642 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:15,440 Speaker 1: can get by with without absolute top in elite offensive lineman. Uh. 643 00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,200 Speaker 1: I think if the one is not here. I think 644 00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:19,440 Speaker 1: they can win. I think they can get by, But 645 00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:23,520 Speaker 1: I don't think you want to get by. You follow me, Oh, 646 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:26,400 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson never did in Philly. He wanted a big, 647 00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:29,960 Speaker 1: talented offensive line. Yeah, so I think, uh, you know, 648 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: I just think he's a guy that you figure out 649 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 1: a way to keep him because over the next few 650 00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: years he could come to symbolize you're the line. He 651 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,040 Speaker 1: comes to be the guy. What did What did Doug 652 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:47,480 Speaker 1: say the other day when asked about the offensive line, said, 653 00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:51,120 Speaker 1: do you like Trevor Lawrence? Right? So, yeah, I mean 654 00:36:51,719 --> 00:36:54,000 Speaker 1: why I sure got the sense that he was going 655 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:58,200 Speaker 1: to go pound the table to keep seventy five.
