1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: With the call the Packers Jaguars matchup the NFL on Fox.

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: Kenny Albert the Great joining us again. Nice to see it, Kenny,

3
00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:10,079
Speaker 1: and here we are with gotta have it games for

4
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 1: the Jaguars moving ahead here.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, great to be with you, JP. Welcome back from London.

6
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,079
Speaker 2: Excited to head down to Jacksonville. It's been a couple

7
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:19,439
Speaker 2: of years and should be a good one against the

8
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:20,280
Speaker 2: Packers this Sunday.

9
00:00:20,400 --> 00:00:23,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, Packers five and two, Jaguars on the other side

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:26,159
Speaker 1: of it, two and five. But let's start off with

11
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:29,320
Speaker 1: the Jaguars road ahead here. The next five opponents are

12
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,920
Speaker 1: against teams with winning records. For of those are NFC contenders.

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,599
Speaker 1: Three of those are in the NFC North. I mean,

14
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,760
Speaker 1: this is a gauntlet of sorts for the Jaguars here.

15
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 1: How do they manage that and still kind of maintain

16
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,120
Speaker 1: the week to week presence. You've got to get a

17
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,160
Speaker 1: lot of these games to even have a chance.

18
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,159
Speaker 2: Right, you know the old adage you have to only

19
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,680
Speaker 2: look out at one game at a time. And the

20
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 2: NFC North has been terrific so far this season. Our

21
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,560
Speaker 2: crew had the Vikings Week one and they were very

22
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 2: impressive against the Giants, and obviously went on a roll

23
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:04,000
Speaker 2: from there. We were in Chicago a couple of weeks ago,

24
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,520
Speaker 2: I saw Caleb Williams in person for the first time,

25
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 2: and the Bears off to a terrific start. Obviously Detroit

26
00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:16,400
Speaker 2: and the Packers. So it's the best division in football record.

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 3: Why so far?

28
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: But again from a Jaguar standpoint, you just have to

29
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,560
Speaker 2: take it one game at a time. We happened to

30
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 2: work the Atlanta Seattle game last Sunday. Going into that game,

31
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,119
Speaker 2: the Falcons had won three straight, they were on a roll.

32
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 2: The Seahawks had lost three in a row. And Seattle

33
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 2: goes into Atlanta on the road and wins the game

34
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 2: pretty handily. So, as you know, in the NFL, you

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,959
Speaker 2: just never know on a week to week basis.

36
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 1: You never know week to week league for sure, Kenny.

37
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: You know there's two fifty five million dollars a year

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: quarterbacks going at it, and Jordan Love is the only

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 1: one of like the top five or six highest big

40
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks with a winning record this year. So a lot

41
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:57,160
Speaker 1: of these guys around the league are struggling. Why is

42
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 1: Jordan Love the one? And especially since coming off the

43
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,280
Speaker 1: knee injury, it seems like he's taking a step up.

44
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 2: He certainly has, and you have to be impressed with

45
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: what Love was able to do last season, coming in

46
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,040
Speaker 2: after sitting for a couple of years, which isn't necessarily

47
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: a bad thing. Jonathan Fillman and I were just talking

48
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 2: about this last week. Yes, there were many quarterbacks we've

49
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,079
Speaker 2: seen over the last ten or fifteen years who have

50
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 2: stepped in right away and had success. But when you

51
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 2: think back to some of the others, with Aaron Rodgers

52
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 2: sitting behind Brett Faarr for three years and watching and learning,

53
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,880
Speaker 2: and then the same thing in Green Bay a decade

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 2: and a half later with Love sitting behind Rogers. Drew

55
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: Brees did not start his first year in San Diego,

56
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,120
Speaker 2: sat behind Doug Flutie. Eli Manning did not start until

57
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: midway through his rookie season, sat behind Kurt Warner. There

58
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 2: are several other examples. You know, you don't see it

59
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,279
Speaker 2: as much these days. A lot of the young quarterbacks

60
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,839
Speaker 2: do start right away. But Love coming in last year,

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:03:00,840
Speaker 2: did a terrific job. This season, suffered the injury early,

62
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: Malik Willis comes in and wins two games, so they

63
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: go to and Ozero with him, and like you said,

64
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: Love does have a winning record. He's thrown fifteen touchdowns

65
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: despite missing the two games, which is among the league leaders.

66
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 2: Has also thrown some interceptions. But the Packers off to

67
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 2: a five and two start, and.

68
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: They spread it around too.

69
00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: I mean it's not just one or two guys getting

70
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,000
Speaker 1: the football from Jordan, right, I mean they get it

71
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:23,679
Speaker 1: all over the field.

72
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:25,920
Speaker 3: It feels like, no, they really have.

73
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,040
Speaker 2: You know, their coaching staff does a terrific job. They

74
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: have so many offensive weapons, and then defensively they've forced

75
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:35,800
Speaker 2: the most takeaways. They have seventeen over the first seven games.

76
00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Xavier McKinney coming over from the Giants five interceptions, had

77
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 2: at least one at each of the first five games.

78
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,400
Speaker 2: So they're getting it done on both sides of the ball.

79
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Jyre, Alexander, he'll tell you about it after he

80
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: does it to you and then tell you about it again.

81
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: This is kind of have that swagger on defense that

82
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:54,360
Speaker 1: you like to see if it's on your side, but

83
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: not on the others. So let's now go to the

84
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,280
Speaker 1: Jaguars offense against this group this week, and they ran

85
00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 1: the football. They ran the daylights out of it at

86
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: Wimbley last week. I guess the question is that sustainable.

87
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 1: Can they Is the Jags offensive line ready for this matchup,

88
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: and can they do this week over week? They only

89
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,440
Speaker 1: have I mean, they may not have ETN this week,

90
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: but Tank Bisby seems to be taking a step in

91
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,160
Speaker 1: the right direction right.

92
00:04:19,200 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 2: He certainly does. And this will be the first time

93
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,920
Speaker 2: that I'll get to see the Jacks in person. You're

94
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 2: a lot closer to the situation, but from a Jaguar standpoint,

95
00:04:26,560 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 2: you hope that you can keep that up.

96
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:30,360
Speaker 3: You hope that you get ETN back soon.

97
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: I've always been an Evan Ingram fan when he was

98
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:37,360
Speaker 2: in New York, both his receiving and blocking skills. Excited

99
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: to see Trevor Lawrence in person for the first time

100
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 2: this year, so it should be a fun game.

101
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:46,000
Speaker 1: They've got young guys that are making big plays. I mean,

102
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas junior down the field three plus three catches

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:52,359
Speaker 1: of fifty plus yards this year, and Tank, who we

104
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,520
Speaker 1: talked about, Vintrel Miller, young linebacker's been playing well. When

105
00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: you have young guys stepping up in a role and

106
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: playing big, certainly good for this year, but for the

107
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:06,240
Speaker 1: future ahead. To have those cornerstone guys that doesn't happen

108
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: a lot. So they have multiple guys, three guys, four

109
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: guys doing that as big for this team.

110
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 2: Oh absolutely, that's exciting to see when you watch the

111
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 2: development of a franchise with draft picks, homegrown talent. And

112
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 2: I know in speaking with my partner Jonathan Vilma, he's

113
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 2: certainly excited to see some of those young guys, especially

114
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 2: on the defensive side. And you know, we're about halfway

115
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 2: through the preparation now as we speak, but we had

116
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,119
Speaker 2: a conference call with our crew yesterday and we'll speak

117
00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 2: to players and coaches on both teams.

118
00:05:34,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 3: So really excited to see some of those young guys.

119
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 3: This Sunday, Kenny.

120
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:42,159
Speaker 1: Albert with US Fox Sports Final Moments with You here.

121
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's perspective on a start like this, they've done

122
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: this before. I mean two years ago they were awful

123
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: and then they started reeling off games the Titans came

124
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: back down to him. So his approach is, hey, just

125
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,640
Speaker 1: look at two years ago, guys, we can do this thing.

126
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: So to have that experience has to be valuable for

127
00:06:05,080 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 1: head coach Doug Peterson going into this setup.

128
00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 3: Doug is so.

129
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 2: Even keeled and he has a championship pedigree, obviously, having

130
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 2: won a Super Bowl with Philadelphia, it was on some

131
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 2: terrific teams in Green Bay coaching against his former one

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,160
Speaker 2: of his former teams this weekend.

133
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,920
Speaker 3: Long time back up to Brett Favre.

134
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 2: Not only within a season, JP, but you know, you

135
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 2: look at that playoff game a couple of years ago,

136
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: the twenty seven point come back against the Charges, right,

137
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,840
Speaker 2: So they've done it in a season, They've done it

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 2: in a game. This team isn't far removed from playing

139
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: in the Divisional round and keeping it close against Kansas City.

140
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: So you know you mentioned the schedule. When you look

141
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,839
Speaker 2: at it in that perspective, playing against all these NFC

142
00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:48,280
Speaker 2: Nord teams, it could be a daunting task. But when

143
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,599
Speaker 2: they focus on the task at hand, and you know,

144
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 2: I know it's been a long trip obviously the two

145
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:53,520
Speaker 2: games in London.

146
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 3: Now back home to face the Packers this Sunday, but.

147
00:06:57,839 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: You know who knows win this week against Green Bay

148
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,720
Speaker 2: that could springboard them to some of the similar success

149
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 2: that they had a couple of years ago.

150
00:07:04,520 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: Four first half interceptions in the playoff game. That's bad

151
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: for everybody's health. I mean mine included yours, I mean,

152
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: that's not something you want to see, but they somehow

153
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: overcame that and got the win that day. Keetty, great

154
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: to see. I know it's kind of mixed seasons for

155
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: you right now. Hockey's starting up, right you get a

156
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: lot going on.

157
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 2: It is that time of the year, fun time of

158
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,600
