In week seventeen. It's damn the torpedoes, full 20 00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: speed ahead. Ever a meaningless game, never ever, ever ever.

Um and and um, 22 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 1: you know the only way I rest players as if 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,440 Speaker 1: they're hurt and can't go. It's an a f C 24 00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:24,720 Speaker 1: South opponent, you know. And they beat this in week five. 25 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: So you know, we've got to have a great week 26 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,520 Speaker 1: of preparation. And we understand that. And and um, you 27 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,760 Speaker 1: know still got still got some unfinished business. There you 28 00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,679 Speaker 1: have it, the comments of Doug Peterson. You can catch 29 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: the full press conference on Jaguars dot Comment Jaguars social media. 30 00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:44,559 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence spoke just after practice today and John Osan're 31 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 1: joining us now Jaguars dot Com senior writer, and here 32 00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:51,880 Speaker 1: we go, Johnny into week seventeen. I'm surprised that Doug 33 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,880 Speaker 1: didn't drop a cuss word in there too and just 34 00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:59,280 Speaker 1: said no, right, I mean the whole approach and attitude 35 00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,840 Speaker 1: and mentality. It's, hey, we're here to play every game. Yeah, exactly. 36 00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:08,600 Speaker 1: And you know, I I'm a believer in some situations 37 00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: that arrest in week eighteen is fine if you are 38 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,160 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Uh. Doug said this did in factor 39 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:18,240 Speaker 1: in his decision, and I believe them. But I think 40 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,679 Speaker 1: if you're if you're a more experienced team sort of 41 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: used to turning it off and turning it on UH, 42 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,600 Speaker 1: then it's fine. I don't believe you really lose momentum 43 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: by doing it. I think most of the time that 44 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: that lost momentum factor is more about you're playing good 45 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs, so it's good teams you're gonna 46 00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: up and beat you. But with this team, you guess what, JP, 47 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 1: it's only been good for about three weeks. So I 48 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: think definitely with this team there is something to Let's 49 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:56,920 Speaker 1: not confuse the issue. We're winning, we're going after it. 50 00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: We're approaching it the same way every week. Go after 51 00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,920 Speaker 1: it and keep them amentum strong. Beyond all that, there's 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 1: something to play for this week on on two fronts 53 00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:13,600 Speaker 1: when this UH and then a tie gets in next week, 54 00:03:14,240 --> 00:03:18,440 Speaker 1: which scoff fall you want until you're tied and overtime, 55 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 1: until something happens late in the game and you realize 56 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,840 Speaker 1: that there's six minutes to go in overtime, you've got 57 00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,839 Speaker 1: the ball. Ye know. There are decisions that come down 58 00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: where if you're playing for a tie. It's easier. I 59 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: don't think it will happen, but you don't want to 60 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,280 Speaker 1: be that. I don't think Doug wants to be sitting 61 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,080 Speaker 1: there at three minutes to go in that game with 62 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: an easy way to play for overtime and going I 63 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: should have you know, same deal with the wild card. 64 00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 1: The wild card exists and the scenarios are out there. Uh. 65 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,440 Speaker 1: Week a teen can get crazy. We've all seen it 66 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,600 Speaker 1: if you follow the NFL. Weird things happen in week eighteen. 67 00:03:56,600 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you're watching Sunday night game with 68 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,560 Speaker 1: the new graphics, and it's not what you expected that 69 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:07,720 Speaker 1: morning because two plays happened simultaneously that flipped two teams around. 70 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 1: And Doug's been around. Doug's been doing this a long time. 71 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:16,920 Speaker 1: Remember his second playoff team number two and number three 72 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: in Philly came back late in the season, was scrapping 73 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 1: it out to get there. So he's been involved with this. Uh, 74 00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: he knows. Weird things happen in week eighteen. You happen 75 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: to lose the Titans if there's another way to get in. Uh, 76 00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: you don't want to be walking down the hallway to 77 00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,320 Speaker 1: the owner's office on Monday, saying, well, we really didn't 78 00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 1: think it was gonna come anything. It was gonna come 79 00:04:42,960 --> 00:04:47,920 Speaker 1: to that. Well came to that. Yeah, So going forward 80 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:52,120 Speaker 1: in this situation, absolutely right. Trevor Lawrence spoke today as well, 81 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 1: and he has the largest increase in passer rating from 82 00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: his first season to the second season in NFL history 83 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,599 Speaker 1: of any quarterback, and that passes the eye test twenty 84 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,200 Speaker 1: four point one point increase from last season to this 85 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: year so far. Second place was Carson Wentz from sixteen 86 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: to seventeen under, of course, Doug Peterson, who had twenty 87 00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: two point six increase. And you're right, it does pass it. 88 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,280 Speaker 1: I mean even in a game like last week, he 89 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 1: executed what was called It wasn't a down the field attack, 90 00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,360 Speaker 1: you know, facing off against corners one on one all 91 00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: that stuff. It's let's hit the tight end, throw it 92 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,760 Speaker 1: out short to the running back, uh, and manage this game. 93 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 1: And he did that as well. So he's done in 94 00:05:30,440 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 1: a bunch of different ways this year and it just 95 00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 1: continues to grow and get better for the quarterback. How 96 00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:36,600 Speaker 1: I know you were in there with him today, So 97 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 1: how's he feeling about the whole situation? The rally in 98 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: the division and his play being a big part of that. Um. 99 00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:49,080 Speaker 1: I think he has the right approach to it, meaning uh, 100 00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 1: he was asked uh second or third question, and uh, 101 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,720 Speaker 1: we're talking about playing better and talking about very positive things, 102 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,480 Speaker 1: and in the middle of it, he he sort of 103 00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,480 Speaker 1: stopped himself and made very clear, Look, we haven't done anything. 104 00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,440 Speaker 1: And he's well aware that it's great to have played 105 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 1: four or five good games in a row, which I 106 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 1: think he has. Uh. He also is smart enough to 107 00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,440 Speaker 1: know if he plays bad Sunday, then the same people 108 00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 1: are gonna say, well, he only did five games in 109 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:22,160 Speaker 1: a row. So uh, he hasn't awareness of how important 110 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,440 Speaker 1: his improved play is. You can tell from his body 111 00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: language and the way he's answering it, in the way 112 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,560 Speaker 1: he's uh playing JP what he's done. You can't fluke 113 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:36,359 Speaker 1: your way into playing as well as he's playing. He's good. 114 00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: He is going to be good for a long time. 115 00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: This is what Trevor Lawrence is. There's no more situation 116 00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: where defenses are are are fulling. They're in a full 117 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,320 Speaker 1: of some things. But he's not on a learning curve 118 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:50,480 Speaker 1: right now. He's good and going to get better. But 119 00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:53,840 Speaker 1: he also knows every week you've got to play, You've 120 00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,760 Speaker 1: got to play well, and he knows these last two 121 00:06:55,800 --> 00:06:59,760 Speaker 1: games you gotta finish this off. Now is not the 122 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,360 Speaker 1: time him for a hiccup, and he's very well aware 123 00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,960 Speaker 1: of that. And I think he that's an experienced thing too. Uh. 124 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:11,320 Speaker 1: He now knows from experience and is beaten into him. 125 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:15,200 Speaker 1: He's got what thirty two games in in the league. Well, 126 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: that's getting fairly close to how many games you play 127 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 1: at Clemson, you know, in the range, you know, so 128 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:28,360 Speaker 1: so he now knows, I'm sure Clemson play well one week. 129 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,160 Speaker 1: You can walk around campus pretty sure you're gonna play 130 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,880 Speaker 1: well the next week because you Trevor Lawrence, he knows 131 00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: that's not how it works in this league, and it 132 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,960 Speaker 1: is very well aware that. And he's I never played 133 00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 1: great against the Texas, So I think there's a lot 134 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: of motivation for him. I can play well, I can 135 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 1: play well against this defense. I cannot do what I 136 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: did in the first meeting, which is though a bad interception. 137 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: I think I think focus is high for Trevor Lawrence, 138 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:55,960 Speaker 1: and I think he has learned it's not just lip service. 139 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: You have to be focused every week at that position 140 00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: in this league to play well. Forty games at Clemson, 141 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,240 Speaker 1: thirty two now going in thirty three for the Jacks. 142 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,280 Speaker 1: Right there, all that stuff you talk about, you gotta 143 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 1: have so many reps at a certain he now knows 144 00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,680 Speaker 1: what the NFL is, and when he says things like 145 00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,480 Speaker 1: you gotta prepare and play well every week, everybody says that. 146 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,600 Speaker 1: Great quarterbacks know it. He's got the big three receivers, 147 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:23,800 Speaker 1: while two receivers on a tight end that are obviously 148 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: playing very well this year for him, and all three 149 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 1: have career highs in yardage so far, and all three 150 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,040 Speaker 1: will likely have career highs and completions by the end 151 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,480 Speaker 1: of the regular season, as you see on your screen there. 152 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 1: And Christian Kirk's right on the doorstep of one thousand 153 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 1: Za Jones with a couple of good days that the 154 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,840 Speaker 1: office could get there as well, and then having Ingram 155 00:08:45,120 --> 00:08:48,439 Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks has been possessed. He's been fantastic, 156 00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: and having that trio and all three being free agent 157 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,079 Speaker 1: additions this past year, growing with the quarterback altogether, it 158 00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,920 Speaker 1: all kind of works together, I think in this offense, 159 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,760 Speaker 1: and it's a different guy every week. We've heard about 160 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: that all season long. But this trio of We've talked 161 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: about this before in past years, how difficult and how 162 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:13,560 Speaker 1: rare it is to really be this successful in free 163 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: agency and have those guys actually hit and all be 164 00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,520 Speaker 1: really good guys in the locker room and all be 165 00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: productive on the field, and they're all doing it. They're 166 00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,199 Speaker 1: all having career seasons. Did a remarkable job with it. 167 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:30,320 Speaker 1: I would not have told you that all three would 168 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: have big seasons, because usually one there's a fall off. 169 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: It just doesn't click. Um. I wrote a story this 170 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: week for Jaguars dot Com, which, unfortunate for you, JP, 171 00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: you had read free website. UM that I think there's 172 00:09:43,120 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: an element too that they legitimately all root for each other, 173 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,120 Speaker 1: and you can feel it on the field. You can 174 00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,640 Speaker 1: see it in the way they play. Uh. It's hard 175 00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 1: to put that into words because all receivers are gonna 176 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:56,880 Speaker 1: say they root for the other guy. But when I 177 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,360 Speaker 1: asked you A Jones about the camaraderie in the room 178 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,920 Speaker 1: and about I'm really rooting for each other, and I 179 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:05,199 Speaker 1: kind of couched. I said, my senses, that's probably not 180 00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:08,079 Speaker 1: the way it is in every receiver room, and he 181 00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:12,080 Speaker 1: kind of laughed, and he was like right, and Zay 182 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: said something very interesting that about that story about there 183 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,439 Speaker 1: being a maturity factor in that too. All three of 184 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: these guys are in their sixth year. All three a Christian, 185 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: I don't think, really has experienced a whole lot of 186 00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:34,439 Speaker 1: failure struggling, but he had to wait for this opportunity. Um, 187 00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 1: all three of them have been through times where they've 188 00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,240 Speaker 1: had to wait and they've seen how it cannot be good. Uh. 189 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,880 Speaker 1: Evan had his troubles in New York. Zay has sort 190 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: of gone up and down in terms of production, you know, 191 00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,160 Speaker 1: like moved around the loop too. So I think there 192 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 1: is a feeling on these three of they've learned from 193 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,120 Speaker 1: their experience of how it can you know, it can 194 00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 1: be bad, and they have all arrived at good points 195 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 1: in their career where they're not selfish guys at all. 196 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,280 Speaker 1: You do see them route for each other. I would 197 00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:09,360 Speaker 1: even put Marvin Jones into this, who is very He's 198 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: not having the year these guys are. But you don't 199 00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: get any sense from Marvin that he's graping about not 200 00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:18,160 Speaker 1: getting the ops. Uh, He's had eleven years of ops, 201 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 1: you know. I think they're enjoying being a part of 202 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,439 Speaker 1: something successful. Uh, and it's it's a striking thing to 203 00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 1: watch because it doesn't always happen this way. One point 204 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,040 Speaker 1: on the graphic you threw up there, the numbers, they've 205 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:37,199 Speaker 1: got Christians about to hit a thousand. The other two 206 00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: probably have to really go in the last two games 207 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:43,480 Speaker 1: to get probably close. But they feel like thousand yard 208 00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: receivers because in the second half of the season they've 209 00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,120 Speaker 1: all played like thousand yard receivers. Those numbers are remarkable 210 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,040 Speaker 1: because they for eight games they're trying to figure each 211 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,599 Speaker 1: other out and trying to figure the offense out to 212 00:11:55,800 --> 00:11:59,839 Speaker 1: get to these numbers with some struggles early, they all 213 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,719 Speaker 1: feel like thousand yard guys in all liken it to 214 00:12:02,800 --> 00:12:07,319 Speaker 1: ninety six a little bit. Jimmy Smith finished with likes 215 00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,240 Speaker 1: eleven hundred yards that year, but in the second half 216 00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,080 Speaker 1: the season he was on like you could tell where 217 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 1: this thing was going with Jimmy sort of feels that 218 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:18,679 Speaker 1: way this year if they get Evan back, they're going 219 00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,880 Speaker 1: somewhere where. If Evans back, I would expect all three 220 00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:23,760 Speaker 1: of those guys be over thousand next year. And you've 221 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:26,240 Speaker 1: got Travis e t n at a thousand on the 222 00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 1: nose rushing. So that's why this offense feel like thousand 223 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,040 Speaker 1: yard players. That's why it's ranked sixth in the NFL. 224 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 1: Right now, they're all they're throwing it all over the place, 225 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 1: running the bowl well, and it's all going very well 226 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: down in the second half of the season. We'll come 227 00:12:39,160 --> 00:12:41,719 Speaker 1: back in a moment defensive talk. When we return, we'll 228 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,280 Speaker 1: take a look at the Houston Texans as well. That's 229 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: a banged up football team down in Houston, but they're 230 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:48,920 Speaker 1: playing hard down the stretch. They've got a big win 231 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:53,440 Speaker 1: of course on Christmas Eve over the Tennessee Titans. Tickets 232 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,120 Speaker 1: are on sale of course for that Titans Jaguars matchup 233 00:12:56,200 --> 00:12:58,959 Speaker 1: Week eight team they're going fast for the winner take 234 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: all AFC South battle in the final week of the 235 00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:04,000 Speaker 1: regular season. Could be Saturday or Sunday, we'll find out 236 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,240 Speaker 1: late probably Monday. Visit Jaguars dot com or call six 237 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: three three. This is huddled up with Bucky Brooks, but 238 00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:24,880 Speaker 1: without him on the Jaguars digital network. You want to 239 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,160 Speaker 1: continue to play well, you want to continue to improve, 240 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, each week, and um you know, that's that's 241 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,880 Speaker 1: where I think the leadership of your football team needs 242 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: to step up. And really, uh, you know, keep you 243 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:39,679 Speaker 1: guys focused and grounded there. There are a lot of 244 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,040 Speaker 1: distractions around this week, you know, um, you know with 245 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 1: the with the bowl game and traveling a little bit 246 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: to practice, and you know of course the holiday weekend 247 00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: coming up and stuff like that. But just staying focused 248 00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,520 Speaker 1: and locked in on on you know, on their job, 249 00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:56,640 Speaker 1: you know, this time of year, and and um, they 250 00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,240 Speaker 1: keep doing that, then we keep keep showing improvement and 251 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,320 Speaker 1: we'll be okay. That's the head coach of course. Doug 252 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: Peterson earlier today, welcome back. It's huddle up notebook he 253 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: Brooks today j P. Shadrick with John Osier. It's week seventeen, 254 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:11,640 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the Houston Texans coming up in in 255 00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:15,520 Speaker 1: RG Stadium, Houston this Sunday, one o'clock eastern kickoff time. 256 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: And the Jaguars have a windstreak going and they've played 257 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:22,040 Speaker 1: better football as of late four the last five have 258 00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: been wins. Meanwhile, Tennessee have lost five in a row now, 259 00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:28,200 Speaker 1: so the Jaguars are in first place in the a 260 00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,160 Speaker 1: f C South with two weeks to play in this season. 261 00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 1: Let's touch on the defense now, Johnny, And you know 262 00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 1: last week obviously they were up against it. The opening 263 00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: drive the Trevor Lawrence fumble, UM set him up in 264 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:45,240 Speaker 1: the red zone and then they held him to a 265 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 1: field goal. They got a big blitz call Andre Cisco 266 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480 Speaker 1: with the sack to force the field goal, and then 267 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 1: it was shut down mode after that the rest of 268 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:56,400 Speaker 1: the night. And um, good for this defense to go 269 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,720 Speaker 1: out and do it against that Jets team when they 270 00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: needed to do it and the conditions warranted that type 271 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: of performance, I think. And you know, when when the 272 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:07,080 Speaker 1: Jaguars are having to settle for field goals and it's 273 00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:09,720 Speaker 1: a sloppy night and all that, they and of course 274 00:15:09,800 --> 00:15:13,440 Speaker 1: they've apparently shut down Zack Wilson, so um and that 275 00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 1: that could be for a long time and it looks 276 00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,080 Speaker 1: like so we'll see, that's that's their issue. But this 277 00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 1: defense stepping up in a big way on Thursday night. Yeah, 278 00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,560 Speaker 1: and you know, uh, I don't know that there are 279 00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: a three point defense against a high functioning offense right now, 280 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:34,600 Speaker 1: but given the opportunity to play a struggling offense, uh, 281 00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,200 Speaker 1: they took advantage of that and they did the things 282 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 1: they had to do. I thought they also did a 283 00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: nice job at at the one. There were two crisis 284 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:49,000 Speaker 1: points in the game. One was the early fumble, where 285 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,160 Speaker 1: in those conditions you can say, oh, you want where 286 00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:55,200 Speaker 1: they got nineteen points, but having to play uphill from 287 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: seven points down early, it is different than three. Uh 288 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: that was a big him and getting that stop. And 289 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:05,120 Speaker 1: then late in the game, uh fourth quarter when they 290 00:16:06,040 --> 00:16:08,360 Speaker 1: the Jets drove and I'm drawing a blank on the 291 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:13,320 Speaker 1: quarterback's name, I think, yeah so, but it was a 292 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 1: new thing that they were facing all of a sudden, 293 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,360 Speaker 1: a different thing than you had game plan for. And 294 00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:21,760 Speaker 1: you've got a running quarterback. It threw him off a 295 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: little bit, and the kid made some plays. The Jets 296 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: got down to about the fifteen yard line of the 297 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 1: Jags early in the fourth quarter. If the Jets score there, 298 00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:34,680 Speaker 1: I think it would have been sixteen to ten at 299 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: that point. Um, that becomes a different animal because you're 300 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,000 Speaker 1: playing on a wet field than the Jets have a 301 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:50,760 Speaker 1: good defense, wouldn't be inconceivable a quick touchdown, quick stop, 302 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, you're holding your breath. Uh 303 00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,120 Speaker 1: do we made a nice play on an on a 304 00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:59,160 Speaker 1: run to get him back into down and distance difficulty. 305 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,720 Speaker 1: Uh So I thought that moment, even though people naysayers 306 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:09,639 Speaker 1: who like to say nay uh i would say, well, 307 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: the Jets were struggling offense with the backup quarterback and 308 00:17:12,520 --> 00:17:15,800 Speaker 1: the struggling quarterback, no big deal at the moments that 309 00:17:15,880 --> 00:17:18,840 Speaker 1: were key in that game. The Jaguars did a nice 310 00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 1: job of making plays to lock down a game. Plus 311 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: the defense also had to play under pressure the whole 312 00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960 Speaker 1: game because the offense never really pulled away enough to 313 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,119 Speaker 1: make it feel really breathing easy. So nice job by 314 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,560 Speaker 1: the defense. I think most of the season they will 315 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,160 Speaker 1: still be a we need to get turnovers and break 316 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,960 Speaker 1: serve type defense, but they showed that they could shut 317 00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,760 Speaker 1: down an offense that that was shut downable. Chris Traveler 318 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:48,320 Speaker 1: was that qubo. It's pretty much what that was. So 319 00:17:48,440 --> 00:17:51,320 Speaker 1: I'll see if they can equal that type of performance 320 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,880 Speaker 1: this week against the Houston Texans. Will take a time 321 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:57,480 Speaker 1: out and get into this Houston team to twelve and one. 322 00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:02,240 Speaker 1: They're playing hard lately, though, well, they gotta win. Obviously 323 00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: this past week in Tennessee that put the Jaguars in 324 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: the first place in the a f C South. We've 325 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,480 Speaker 1: got plenty ahead of course on them.

No Bucky Brooks today, JP 344 00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:31,480 Speaker 1: Shadrick with John Osier. It's week seventeen. The Jaguars in 345 00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:33,960 Speaker 1: the Houston Texans coming up in in our G Stadium 346 00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: in Houston this week The seventy eight tex Slayer Gator 347 00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:41,040 Speaker 1: Bowl returns to the Bank this Friday, the twenty one 348 00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:44,160 Speaker 1: ranked Notre Dame Fighting Irish and the nineteenth ranked South 349 00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:48,160 Speaker 1: Carolina Gamecox for tickets. There are a few remaining. Visit 350 00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 1: tex Slayer Gator Bowl dot com. Always a fun event, 351 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,080 Speaker 1: but a big, really good ball game to eight and 352 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: four football teams this year. John, Yeah, very good. My 353 00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: son is a big, big South Carolina fan for some reason. 354 00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:03,879 Speaker 1: So no, I mean, uh, no real connection to it, 355 00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 1: but he loves that. He's fired up, so he's go. 356 00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,920 Speaker 1: They've painted the field. The end zones are painted in 357 00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 1: the team's colors now, so that's why the Jaguars have 358 00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,200 Speaker 1: had to move their practice. They decided they wanted to 359 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,240 Speaker 1: practice on grass outside, so that's why they're going to 360 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,080 Speaker 1: Episcopal today and tomorrow. They could have gone inside of 361 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 1: the facility, but I think Doug wants to go over there, 362 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: so they've done that today. Um, just like they were 363 00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 1: in training camp. So same set up, easy bust, ride 364 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,280 Speaker 1: back and forth, no big deal. Yeah, and I think 365 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: that becomes People always ask when that happens, Well, is 366 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:41,240 Speaker 1: it gonna affect him as a distraction for a regular 367 00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: season practice. I think it's even less of a problem 368 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 1: then for a training camp practice, because basically a regular 369 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:54,320 Speaker 1: season you're very into your routine. Uh, You you tend 370 00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:56,639 Speaker 1: to go shorter and a little lighter because it's so 371 00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:00,399 Speaker 1: much prep and install Uh. If he is going to 372 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:02,640 Speaker 1: be sort of a factor in preparation, I think it'd 373 00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: been more of a factor during training camp. I don't 374 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:09,240 Speaker 1: I don't see it being remotely a problem or probably 375 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 1: something even players are thinking very much about this week. 376 00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 1: All right, let's take a look at the Houston Texans 377 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:18,040 Speaker 1: this week. The Jaguar is facing Houston at two twelve 378 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: and one, but that they banged up football team. They 379 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:22,400 Speaker 1: have a lot of guys and a lot of key 380 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,160 Speaker 1: players on injured reserve at this point. Starting running back 381 00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 1: is on their stingley, the cornerback is on injured reserve, 382 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,920 Speaker 1: just to name a couple of guys. One of the 383 00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:37,040 Speaker 1: big receivers, Nico Collins is on there as well. And 384 00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 1: so that that's that's what they're battling through at this 385 00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,639 Speaker 1: point in the season, mid late December, and there's the 386 00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: list of guys that are on the injury report. Damian 387 00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,679 Speaker 1: Pierce was the leading Rusher by a long way everybody 388 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:50,719 Speaker 1: else I thinks under a hundred yards for the season. 389 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: So they've got to figure out running the football down 390 00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: the stretch and they're using a couple of different quarterbacks 391 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,280 Speaker 1: at this point. There's a lot going on in Houston. Yeah, 392 00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,600 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say their personnel doesn't matter, because I 393 00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: damn Pierce Stanley Nico Collins are big contributing players for them. Uh. 394 00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,480 Speaker 1: What I look for with a team that's that's out 395 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: of it at the end of the season is more, 396 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,400 Speaker 1: are they still listening to the coach and are you're 397 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,560 Speaker 1: still seeing effort, because then they're dangerous. Uh. This team 398 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: is clearly doing that and they're forcing turnovers. Uh. Levy Smith, 399 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 1: it appears the defense of the Texans is still playing 400 00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,920 Speaker 1: for him and doing what he wants, which makes him dangerous. 401 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: Because Trevor has never had a great game against the Texans. 402 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,440 Speaker 1: He struggled against them earlier. I think he will play 403 00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:41,440 Speaker 1: much better than he ever has against them because he's 404 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,880 Speaker 1: raising his He hadn't played that well against anybody during 405 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,200 Speaker 1: the time that he played poorly against the Texans. But 406 00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:49,840 Speaker 1: they keep it, they keep it in front of you. 407 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: They want to force turnovers. Uh. The danger of this 408 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,640 Speaker 1: for the Jaguars is in the first half of this game, 409 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:00,320 Speaker 1: if they have some drives that they don't finish. Uh. 410 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: If it's ten three at halftime one way or the other, 411 00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 1: and it's a tight game, then the game short. That 412 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:09,760 Speaker 1: was a big part of what the Texans did out 413 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: here in October when they played. Not only did they 414 00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: get the the weird turnovers, but they had a couple 415 00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 1: of drives that really shortened that game. And all of 416 00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:19,480 Speaker 1: a sudden, you looked up and it was five minutes 417 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: to go and it was tight, and then the Texans 418 00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 1: got to stop in a touchdown and boom, you're up 419 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:26,880 Speaker 1: against it. That's the kind of game you want to avoid. 420 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,280 Speaker 1: It sounds stupid, of course you want to get ahead 421 00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: in this game. You really would love to see a 422 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,640 Speaker 1: four teen three jag Wars lead in the first half 423 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: for you could say, Okay, now we're getting we don't 424 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:42,959 Speaker 1: have to think about all that bs and we can 425 00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,239 Speaker 1: just go play. We're okay against him. I don't want 426 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,040 Speaker 1: to see a couple of takeaways for the Texans earlier, 427 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:51,639 Speaker 1: because that turns into that kind of a game and 428 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:54,440 Speaker 1: there and they're good enough to win that kind of 429 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,480 Speaker 1: a game. It's it's what they have gotten themselves into 430 00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,240 Speaker 1: the last three weeks. It's no fluke when you played Dallas, uff, 431 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,480 Speaker 1: when you play the Chief stuff and you beat the Titans. 432 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:05,720 Speaker 1: This is not a team to be taken lightly. Yeah, 433 00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: teams in playoffs spots each of the last three weeks, 434 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,000 Speaker 1: as you mentioned there, and they lost the Dallas in 435 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 1: Kansas City by combined ten points. So they were in 436 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:17,359 Speaker 1: absolutely and for people haven't followed it over time against 437 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:22,119 Speaker 1: Casey and against Dallas. Uh, they had Dallas backed up 438 00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,920 Speaker 1: and now the Cowboys needed nine yard drive and or 439 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:30,840 Speaker 1: plus drive in the last sery mins of the game. Uh, 440 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:33,520 Speaker 1: get ahead of them and take that sort of thing 441 00:24:33,560 --> 00:24:36,520 Speaker 1: out and then big picture moving ahead for Houston this 442 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,399 Speaker 1: offseason is excuse me, obviously big for them. They have 443 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: two first round picks. They're currently projected to have the 444 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:45,480 Speaker 1: number one overall pick in the draft. They'll also get 445 00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: Cleveland's first round pick, it's currently the eleventh pick. They've 446 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,720 Speaker 1: got six picks in the first three rounds. In three 447 00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: they also have two first round picks four with the 448 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson trade, So you know they may be down 449 00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:02,320 Speaker 1: right now. But if they drafted properly, obviously we know 450 00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,359 Speaker 1: how that goes. Um you know, in projecting a few 451 00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: years out, if they get a lot of those picks 452 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760 Speaker 1: to hit, they could be right back in this thing. 453 00:25:09,880 --> 00:25:11,720 Speaker 1: You know a few years did they have the ability 454 00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: to get themselves right in a hurry like any franchise 455 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:19,280 Speaker 1: in their situation, they clearly along with the rest of 456 00:25:19,320 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: the a f C South the FC South South challenge 457 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: now fundamentally is finding a quarterback so you can start 458 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: catching up with the Jaguars quarterback. I'm not saying the 459 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,479 Speaker 1: Jaguars are clear they had the rest of the division 460 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:34,480 Speaker 1: right now because they're tied, But over time it appears 461 00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,680 Speaker 1: that the Jaguars have that spot fixed. That puts you 462 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: on more solid ground than a team that doesn't have 463 00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:42,800 Speaker 1: that spot fixed. So the Texans, if they can get 464 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,399 Speaker 1: the quarterback right all of a sudden, they've got a 465 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:47,879 Speaker 1: lot to build around that guy. We'll come back in 466 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 1: a moment our final thoughts about this matchup, the playoff 467 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: picture in the a f C, N NFC, and we're 468 00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,679 Speaker 1: coming down the stretch, and if you're ready to join 469 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 1: the Jaguars.

No Bucky Brooks JP Shadrick john 478 00:26:34,160 --> 00:26:36,840 Speaker 1: O's are alive. Look outside at the Miller Electric Center 479 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,359 Speaker 1: under construction, starting to clear the fields. It looks like 480 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:44,119 Speaker 1: a little the construction rolling along. Course, this will be 481 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:48,760 Speaker 1: ready for business next summer, sometime before training camp. Maybe 482 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: a little earlier than that, we'll see. But it's moving 483 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:53,400 Speaker 1: along nicely. Had it had a chance to walk through 484 00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 1: the yet, I need to get in there. I assume 485 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 1: I'll do that after the season. Yeah, all right, after 486 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:02,080 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, right right. I code probably didn't work there. 487 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: So up is brought to you by Fields Auto Group, Jacksonville. 488 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: Step up the luxury Fields Auto dot Com. Let's take 489 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:14,200 Speaker 1: a look at the a f C playoff picture as 490 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: it stands today. If the season ended right now, which 491 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: it never does, the Jaguars would be the number four 492 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:26,480 Speaker 1: seed and the a f C South champs. Of course, 493 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: the Bills are in. Chiefs are in, Bengals are in, 494 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:32,240 Speaker 1: the Ravens have clinched the spot. The Chargers where there 495 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: went on Monday night, are in the playoffs. So there's 496 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,640 Speaker 1: only two spots remaining, the a f C South champion 497 00:27:38,320 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: and then a wild card spot. Currently Miami is in 498 00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,920 Speaker 1: control at the seven seed, but two is out this 499 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: week with a concussion. Teddy Bridgewater will get the start. 500 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,680 Speaker 1: The Patriots and the Jets are on their schedule down 501 00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:54,879 Speaker 1: the stretch. There's a lot to be decided there, and 502 00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,640 Speaker 1: of course there's still an outside shot of the Jaguars 503 00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: backing in as a wild card. Are a lot of 504 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,880 Speaker 1: things would have to happen. It's so convoluted that it's 505 00:28:03,880 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: even difficult to discuss. It's convoluted, but uh, it's not 506 00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: really that out of the question. There's like three things. 507 00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,840 Speaker 1: Miami losing it is part of it. It's a difficult part, 508 00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:19,520 Speaker 1: but with two out, that's not that difficult. I keep 509 00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 1: going back, remember last week green Bay went in with 510 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:25,720 Speaker 1: like this four percent chance. However, you figure that out 511 00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,360 Speaker 1: a four percent chance, and by the end of the night, 512 00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm not sure they can trow their destiny. But it's 513 00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,360 Speaker 1: club not yet, not yet. But because everybody had four 514 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: teams on Christmas Eve lost that they needed to lose 515 00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:44,040 Speaker 1: before their games Sunday in Miami. UM. So again that's why, 516 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:51,240 Speaker 1: if you're Doug, you play these guys, because the Titans 517 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:54,480 Speaker 1: are resting all their guys this week, so it could 518 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:57,719 Speaker 1: get that game in the last game of the season 519 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 1: is no guarantee. So if you can enhance your wild 520 00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: card chances, enhance your wild card chances, go play this 521 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,320 Speaker 1: week and in this nine game skit against the Texans too. 522 00:29:08,440 --> 00:29:10,360 Speaker 1: By the way, they've won twenty of the last twenty 523 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: four meetings, and that you've got a chance. And I 524 00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,920 Speaker 1: haven't looked it up, but it's been a long time 525 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:19,760 Speaker 1: around here since you've beaten all the teams in your 526 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,160 Speaker 1: division in the same year. They didn't do it in seventeen. 527 00:29:23,200 --> 00:29:26,760 Speaker 1: They haven't done it since, so and you can look 528 00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,560 Speaker 1: it up, but that's been a minute. So go into 529 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,200 Speaker 1: next season without any of those things and feeling like 530 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:35,680 Speaker 1: you're the best team win the Division B nine and eight, 531 00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:39,240 Speaker 1: feel like you're a good team. Uh at this point, 532 00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:41,840 Speaker 1: this team hasn't the outher side of it too, seem 533 00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:45,320 Speaker 1: hasn't done enough to not want to keep winning. That's right. 534 00:29:45,400 --> 00:29:47,320 Speaker 1: And just listening to Josh Allen in the locker room, 535 00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:49,080 Speaker 1: you and I were standing with him right before the show. 536 00:29:49,600 --> 00:29:52,200 Speaker 1: He's never had a winning record here, like they would 537 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 1: like to have a winning record nine and eight at 538 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,200 Speaker 1: the end of the regular season. So it's I mean, 539 00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,240 Speaker 1: those are all the reasons that you don't rest guys, 540 00:29:59,320 --> 00:30:01,560 Speaker 1: and they won't guy. Isn't good for them feeling good 541 00:30:01,560 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: about it? Yeah, I mean it's uh as good as 542 00:30:07,080 --> 00:30:09,080 Speaker 1: you can. You always know in the NFL things can 543 00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:12,200 Speaker 1: happen that you don't win. But they're the better team, 544 00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 1: they're playing better, they're motivated, they're focused. Uh, they should 545 00:30:16,600 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 1: go win. I think the formula for them not going 546 00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: and winning is turnovers for the Texans and the Jagger 547 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 1: is not playing well. Well, that's the formula in every game. 548 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:30,080 Speaker 1: So uh, if you don't do the things that the 549 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 1: better team can do to lose games, then I think 550 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,920 Speaker 1: you go win the game. We'll see if they can 551 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,760 Speaker 1: get it done this Sunday at NRG Stadium in Houston. 552 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: The Jaguars and the Houston Texans coming up our thanks 553 00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:45,080 Speaker 1: to David Choe, Brent Reaver, our entire crew for John Osier. 554 00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: I'm j P.
