1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,720
Speaker 1: It's turning out for a weekly conversation with Pride of

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 1: the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor ahead of the a

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,280
Speaker 1: f C Divisional playoff game the Jacksonville Jaguars and the

4
00:00:09,400 --> 00:00:13,760
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs coming up at Arrowhead. And oh my gosh, Fred,

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are still alive. We talked about it in

6
00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,279
Speaker 1: postgame last week. How we tried to talk about it.

7
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,319
Speaker 1: It was almost unspeakable what happened last week and they're

8
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:26,280
Speaker 1: they're still here. It's remarkable. What's happened is going man,

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:29,240
Speaker 1: of course, it's remarkable. Man. I try and salute those

10
00:00:29,240 --> 00:00:32,120
Speaker 1: guys and you know, give them their flowers every time

11
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 1: the opportunity I get them. I've been doing so much media,

12
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 1: you know, I'm like, y'all, ain't gonna get tired as

13
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 1: an old guy yet. But uh, I guess once you're

14
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:43,159
Speaker 1: a Jaguar, and I try and go out and make

15
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:46,280
Speaker 1: him understand it's always do all until we die. I

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 1: have to explain the hashtag that whole stuff. And we

17
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:52,080
Speaker 1: haven't died yet. We're still grinding. The guys are still

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:55,400
Speaker 1: out there getting it in and you gotta commend them.

19
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 1: So um football In January, eight January is beautiful red.

20
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a great match up of offensive coaching wit this week.

21
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: Andy Reid, of course, has been at this for a

22
00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 1: long long time. Doug Peterson was a player under Andy

23
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: in a two couple of different stops of course, Green

24
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: Bay and Philly, and then coached under Reid and and

25
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 1: then charted his own path. But here they are meeting

26
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,400
Speaker 1: for the third time against each other as head coaches.

27
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: Andy Reid's won the first two meetings. But you know,

28
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:26,559
Speaker 1: in terms of innovation and ideas and just playing old

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,360
Speaker 1: fun on offense, these two guys are right there near

30
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,440
Speaker 1: the top of play colors right now, a thousand percent JP.

31
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: I like to call him the uh the quarterback whisperers.

32
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: Every quarterback that Andy Reids had has not could be amazing. Now,

33
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,760
Speaker 1: some of those guys have gone on to other teams

34
00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:46,280
Speaker 1: and they haven't been so great, But it's just the

35
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: deception that they bring a play called the formation sets,

36
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 1: just the creativity. Everything about coach Read is simply amazing.

37
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: And obviously, um you know his disciple and co Doug Peterson.

38
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,960
Speaker 1: You know he's it's a copycat league, you know, they say,

39
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 1: but imagine being in the same room, able to share,

40
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 1: you know, your thought processes. He was able to coach, tell,

41
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 1: coach read for years and kind of you know, be

42
00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: that bug on the wall and just take away bits

43
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: and pieces and and develop it as his philosophy. And

44
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:23,440
Speaker 1: Doug has done a great job, you know, his first

45
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: year with you know, a top overall picking Trevor Lawrence.

46
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,600
Speaker 1: So I would right now we'll call him QB Whisper

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: number two because the maturation that the style of play

48
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: that we've seen Trevor bran along and within a year

49
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: has been great. But I hope all of this talk

50
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: that I'm talking about now just equates to win at

51
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: the end of the day for the Jaguars. You know

52
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: that it's a few good storylines in there, but bottom

53
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 1: line is winning. When they've met in November, JP, I

54
00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,239
Speaker 1: think that the Jaguars won the second half ten seven,

55
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 1: if I'm not mistaken. So I like to take that

56
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: momentum from November a couple of with the momentum that

57
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 1: they're having in December in January and and hopefully it

58
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: equates to a win here tonight. So I'll be taking

59
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: it out to see Fred Taylor with US quarterback whisper.

60
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I'd love to hear what Doug whispered and

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: Trevor's here at around midway through the second quarter after

62
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: picking right before right, I mean, how in the world

63
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:28,480
Speaker 1: does that performance turn from so bad almost all time

64
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 1: bad too, one of the great performances in Jaguars history,

65
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 1: all in the same sixty minutes. Yeah, I don't know.

66
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:37,040
Speaker 1: I would love to hear what he whispered to him

67
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 1: as well, JP uh that night, Trevor said all types

68
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,800
Speaker 1: of records. I'm sure it was the four interceptions in

69
00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: the first half had to be a record, I know,

70
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: four touchdowns for someone that young. He broke down Marino's

71
00:03:50,040 --> 00:03:53,560
Speaker 1: mark for four touchdowns by the youngest player in league history,

72
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: uh in the game. And then I'm sure he had

73
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: to have broke a second half record too with those

74
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: for with those uh touchdowns, I think he had three

75
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: in a second half, right, So um, yeah, it's just

76
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: an amazing uh show of uh press everance, you know,

77
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: just faith and commitment and sticking to the game plan

78
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,040
Speaker 1: or just in the game planning then sticking to it,

79
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. I think as a collective,

80
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: the entire team, you know, just showed their confidence and

81
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: conviction to each other, um and commitment to each other,

82
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: and they found the way to do it that first

83
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: case the game, referencing that they were down twenties or

84
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: seven at the half. Then they eventually lost the twenty

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: seven and seventeen, but you know, they fought and they

86
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: ended up winning that second half versus the Chiefs. But

87
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 1: again that should also give them the confidence they need

88
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: to try and withstand any adversity or frustrating moments that

89
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,800
Speaker 1: come up in the game, because there will be some

90
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: uh arrowheads as loud as it get, and I'm sure

91
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: in the playoffs is twice as loud. So they're gonna

92
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 1: a moment that they're gonna have to pull, pull within,

93
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,000
Speaker 1: you know, whatever they pull from last week and dig

94
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: in deep and and get a w um. That's I

95
00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 1: cannot wait. I cannot wait to see this game kickoff.

96
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,599
Speaker 1: Frond Taylor with us. What is the ideal offensive game

97
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: plan for the Jags this week? I don't know if

98
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:23,520
Speaker 1: you want to get in a shootout with Kansas City,

99
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: so you know you gotta kind of methodically in theory,

100
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 1: methodically moved down the field and just kind of eat

101
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 1: up some games. What do you think, you know, I

102
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: think Case knows that uh there are any teams that

103
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: want to come into Arrowhead and have a shootout, So

104
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 1: for that, I think they tend to uh tilt heavier

105
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: and too stopping the run from a defensive standpoint. You know,

106
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: I think the first matchup, Jacksonville only had like seventy

107
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:54,920
Speaker 1: five yards rushing maybe thirteen fourteen carries. So if you're

108
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: not having success in in Kansas City scoring, then it

109
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,039
Speaker 1: causes you to do some thing differently on offense, uh,

110
00:06:02,080 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: and that's get away from your run. So hopefully uh

111
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: e t and bring a few big ones earlier in

112
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: the game and keep Kansas City's defensive play car off balance.

113
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,839
Speaker 1: I'm sure that will help Jacksonville stay in their bag

114
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: of mixed goodies. So I believe that U. You know,

115
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily want to get in the shootout because

116
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 1: my homes Kelsey, those guys the addition of Tony Juju,

117
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 1: those guys are playing really well. So you don't necessarily

118
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: want to get in shoot out. You want to focus

119
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: more on your sets, you know, your script and trying

120
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: to stay as close to that as possible. Bread On

121
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 1: the other side, Jaguars defense is playing with a lot

122
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,880
Speaker 1: of confidence right now. They've down the stretch, made big

123
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,560
Speaker 1: plays and big moments. Even if they've given up yardage

124
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 1: in a game, they've been able to stand up at

125
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: the end and get a takeaway here or whatever it takes.

126
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,280
Speaker 1: And then last week, of course, just getting off the

127
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: field almost every time and and giving the offense an opportunity. Well,

128
00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: how do you approach Mahomes and the Chief's offense this week?

129
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: Do you do you bring pressure someone Patrick Mahomes. You

130
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 1: gotta be careful if he gets out of there because

131
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: things can get weird done the field. Yeah, I agree

132
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: with you on that, JP. I think approach this week

133
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: it certainly has to be different than last week. But

134
00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 1: last week wasn't necessarily the defenses fall early on because

135
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,240
Speaker 1: they had to defend a short field and extremely short

136
00:07:24,280 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: field on several possessions. This week that has to be different.

137
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: You know, we have to make sure we're punting, planning

138
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,440
Speaker 1: for field positions and make them earn it. You know,

139
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,440
Speaker 1: we're out there and make them earn it. Make them

140
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: drive eighty yards seventy five yards and we haven't been

141
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 1: but don't break defensive been but don't break mentality. You

142
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:43,679
Speaker 1: want to make sure you protect a deep ball, protect

143
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 1: a big play. Uh, there will be some good plays,

144
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: but protect a bit big play, the fifty six yard scamper.

145
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: You gotta protect that. And I think this game will

146
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: come down to how well plays, how well Trayvon Walker plays,

147
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:01,640
Speaker 1: and how well Art and Key plays, and the guys

148
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: on that defensive front. Foy Lot you know he has

149
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 1: also helping that to make sure they run game to

150
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: run defense. He's as stout as it's been the past

151
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 1: several weeks. And then from there we I get pressure.

152
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: We gotta play his own defense to get pressure through that.

153
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: Mix it up with a little man defense, get pressure

154
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: through that. If they don't get pressure, it is going

155
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: to be a long day. I don't think you overly

156
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 1: commit and blitz h too much, but you have to

157
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: let the down four. No, look, we need guys to

158
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: get home. As soon as you recognize past, you gotta go.

159
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Whatever you do, you gotta go, and you gotta get

160
00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 1: to this guy relentlessly. So yeah, I think that the

161
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: down four will be the key to the victory today.

162
00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with his final thought, there was a send

163
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:51,160
Speaker 1: off for the Jaguars players Friday morning, fred Um, a

164
00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: lot of fans came down to the stadium to see

165
00:08:53,440 --> 00:08:56,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars off to Kansas City. And we know that

166
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 1: the excitement is building around town, and it has been

167
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:01,679
Speaker 1: for the last few weeks. But now we're hitting one

168
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: of those high points. That's what this is about, right,

169
00:09:04,280 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: playoff football. It's been a while for this team. This

170
00:09:07,080 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 1: feels like it has some staying power. They're making an

171
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,440
Speaker 1: unbelievable run. And for the city of Jacksonville and Jacks fans,

172
00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 1: I know you're excited. And for a player, I mean,

173
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 1: you gotta just soak this kind of moment in. These

174
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:21,319
Speaker 1: are special things that that may not happen again at

175
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: this level of Jacksonville. Yeah, it's it doesn't happen happen often,

176
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:28,760
Speaker 1: you know, not just you know JACKSONVI, but around the league.

177
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: It's a tough league. You know, teams can go through

178
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:34,560
Speaker 1: playoff droughts, they can go through you know, being one

179
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: in you know, look at us, dude, we we got

180
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: the first picking back to back of years. You know,

181
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,200
Speaker 1: that's crazy. You know, those things happen. Man, It's a tough,

182

Speaker 1: tough league. You have to have the perfect makes of

183
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: getting the right coach, the right players, the right people

184
00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: in the front office. It's so much that needs to align.

185
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: And you gotta have the right fan base who believes

186
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: and they commit because it's not always pretty and and

187
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Speaker 1: you know, the stadium isn't always field when you're not winning.

188
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 1: But it's good to be in this moment. And the

189
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: fans they can feel at this moment, they can feel

190
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,960
Speaker 1: that there's a shift, a subtle shift that's taken place

191
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: in the commitment by Mr Khan. You know what Trent Lucky,

192
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: what he's done in free agency, the players coming in

193
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 1: and taking a series and you know, rewarding the fans
