1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:03,559
Speaker 1: Countdown to kickoff continues. The Jaguars and the Falcons coming

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: up from Wimbley Stadium, and it's time for our weekly

3
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:09,160
Speaker 1: conversation with Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:13,319
Speaker 1: Back in London again, it's the tenth Jaguars game in

5
00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: the UK and good afternoon.

6
00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, jpet Man. It always feels great to be

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 2: back here. And as I said in postgame last week,

8
00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 2: London has been pretty kind to Jacksonville and hopefully we

9
00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 2: can get more of that same London magic here today.

10
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, they need some of it. It's been a couple

11
00:00:32,360 --> 00:00:34,880
Speaker 1: of weeks of some tough football for this team, trying

12
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:38,600
Speaker 1: to get back on track. So let's start with coming

13
00:00:38,600 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: off last week's game. All three phases had some issues

14
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 1: in that game. The focus has to be there moving

15
00:00:43,720 --> 00:00:46,320
Speaker 1: ahead just to get back on track. So, as a

16
00:00:46,360 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: football team, when you have a performance like that, and

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,959
Speaker 1: as a player personally, how do you move forward from

18
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: a game like that?

19
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,800
Speaker 2: Well, you know you have to. One thing they tell

20
00:00:55,840 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 2: you is to have short memory, you know, and you

21
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 2: know the best thing to do is to be able

22
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: to get back out there. You know, nothing any race

23
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,320
Speaker 2: is a bad loss or a bad performance or even

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: if you have your own bad individual performance, you want

25
00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 2: to get back out there. You know, one convince yourself

26
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 2: that you got it and last week was just a

27
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 2: simple mistake, you know, maybe on your behalf, but that

28
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: from the team concept, you want to get back out

29
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: there and get on track. You know, it's still early

30
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:29,560
Speaker 2: in the season. They're one and two with fourteen games remaining.

31
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: It it starts with the Falcons. The Falcons hasn't been

32
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,959
Speaker 2: a great team. They're a young team that has shown

33
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: some potential. They got a lot of their young players

34
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 2: and you know what, they know that the Jaguars know

35
00:01:41,720 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 2: what they have to do. You know, they're gonna have

36
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 2: to from a defensive standpoint, they're going to have to

37
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 2: maintain b Jon Robinson, Kyle Pitts, you know, and from

38
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 2: an offensive standpoint, they're going to have to make sure

39
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 2: they're not beating themselves. That's their issue. You know, they've

40
00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 2: had some situation where you have drive, you have just

41
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: sinceless you know, receivers by the I mean sinceless penalties,

42
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: by the receivers not being focused, the false stars, those

43
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,520
Speaker 2: different type of things. You can't shoot yourself in the

44
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 2: foot and really for me, the focus is the Jaguars

45
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 2: offense not beating themselves, and from a defensive standpoint of course,

46
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: be opportunists to go after those turnovers. But first things

47
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:28,600
Speaker 2: First stop Jon Robinson. The last week's game plan was

48
00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: to stop CJ. Stroud, get after him with pressure. This

49
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,640
Speaker 2: week's totally different. You want to go after Jon Robinson

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,680
Speaker 2: and then also maintain Kyle Pitts and you give yourself

51
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 2: an opportunity for success.

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,679
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us. You talked about the penalties last week.

53
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 1: Penalties drops a lot of that going on as a

54
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: group overall. Where do you begin? Is it up front

55
00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,600
Speaker 1: to have time for the quarterback? Is it receivers making plays?

56
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: Is it the running game? Etn You can lean on him.

57
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: He ran the ball pretty well last week.

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I would. I would suggest that you,

59
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: you know, you continue to just track as you've been doing.

60
00:03:05,440 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: You know, I think it's more of a focused thing.

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 2: You know, if you have Kelvin Ridley, if he brings

62
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 2: in that catch, the game is totally different. I believe

63
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 2: it's a totally different start. The defense went out there

64
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,920
Speaker 2: threwn out boom. They gave your offense the ball. They're

65
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 2: marching down the field five to six plays, they should

66
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 2: have been an end zone. Now with seven zero, defense

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: gets back out there. The tempo has changed. They're a

68
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: bit more excited, maybe they're a bit more focused, and

69
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520
Speaker 2: then the outlook certainly changes. But that's you know, that's

70
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 2: in the past. So what the Jaguars offense has to

71
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 2: do is one extreme focus and discipline. I think it

72
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 2: starts with just them understanding themselves that they are capable.

73
00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 2: You know, they do have a good offense. They have

74
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,840
Speaker 2: some good players, but everybody just has to commit and

75
00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: buy in and move with a sense of urgency. Yeah,

76
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 2: there will be times when the offensive line breaks down,

77
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:05,760
Speaker 2: you know, show effort, Just get after the guys that

78
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 2: are passed rushing against you in the run game. Stay steady,

79
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: stay consistent. You know, the coaches, the staff, you know,

80
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: they have to also understand that they have to be

81
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 2: methodical and move the ball accordingly and not get into

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: this where I have four downs. This is my mentality.

83
00:04:24,600 --> 00:04:27,719
Speaker 2: It works sometimes sometimes it doesn't, So it's more of

84
00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: a fifty to fifty mindset. When you use that approach,

85
00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 2: they have to trust that the defense is going to

86
00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 2: get them the ball back and the defenses played well.

87
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 2: I think the defense is played in these three games.

88
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,520
Speaker 2: Last week was up. They gave up thirty four, but

89
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:46,479
Speaker 2: realistically a lot of that came from the offense. You know,

90
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 2: special teams. You got mitsfield goal, that's field position. Block

91
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: field goal, that's fuel position. Offense, you know, not focus

92
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: and giving the ball away, that's also a field position.

93
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 2: And then defense was up again short field for the

94
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: majority of the game. So but if you take that away,

95
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: they played fairly good. Oh I forget the kickoff from turns, Well,

96
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 2: that's seven points that the defense didn't give up. So

97
00:05:09,960 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 2: the coaches have to trust that the defense is going

98
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,279
Speaker 2: to make those plays. Punt the ball, put it on

99
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 2: the defense, and now you want to see that team unison.

100
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:21,320
Speaker 2: So yeah, run Travis et and let Trevor do his thing.

101
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: The receivers have to capitalize and stay you know, legers sharp, focused,

102
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,960
Speaker 2: make the plays that they're supposed to make. Their pro

103
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 2: receivers you got to make those plays, and the defense

104
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 2: stay steady, you know, realize that you haven't played bad.

105
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: You gave up two big plays a week ago, but

106
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 2: that's just two big plays. In the early season. They

107
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 2: can tighten it up.

108
00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,640
Speaker 1: Pret Taylor with us. You mentioned Vjon Robinson earlier. What

109
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: do you like about him?

110
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:51,800
Speaker 2: Everything he is, He reminds me of a few running

111
00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:56,159
Speaker 2: backs actually, because he's so dynamic, you know, by stature.

112
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: He reminds me a little bit of Jones Drew. He

113
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:02,560
Speaker 2: had Drew by a few injuries. He has Maurice by

114
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 2: a few inches, but you know, just his just this

115
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 2: Bill when Maurice came in early on, not Maurice now

116
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 2: got to shave off with you, but Maurice's back in

117
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: two thousand and six seven something like that. You know,

118
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,119
Speaker 2: he has twicks like Barry Sanders, he has amazing feat

119
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 2: he has vision like one Tredy t you know, he

120
00:06:24,040 --> 00:06:27,600
Speaker 2: has really good vision. And he has hands like Ladani

121
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: and Tumblson coming out of the backfield. So he's sort

122
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 2: of creative player right now. And if Jacksonville's defenders aren't

123
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 2: playing no gap gap assignment and just playing gap integrity,

124
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,960
Speaker 2: then they can have a long day. They're without Devin Lloyd,

125
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: so it'd be interesting to see how they do versus

126
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Bjean Robinson.

127
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,359
Speaker 1: All right, Fred, let's finish with this. It's the Jaguars

128
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,920
Speaker 1: tenth London game. What are your responsibilities in the days

129
00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,440
Speaker 1: ahead and coming up after this game too. It's a

130
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 1: lot going on with two games here in London.

131
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, I'm just one always excited to be

132
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:09,520
Speaker 2: across the pond, be able to root and root on

133
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 2: the team, you know, being able to have the pub

134
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 2: pep rally visits, you know, interacting with the local fan

135
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: base here that's grown tremendously since we came over for

136
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 2: the first game ten years ago or so. So just

137
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 2: to be able to see the growth, you know, to

138
00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: see that the fans actually understand how to cheer for

139
00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: an NFL game. Back in the day JP was, you know,

140
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,240
Speaker 2: they just got excited for the kickoffs and the kill

141
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:41,720
Speaker 2: gos and punts. But now they really understand the back

142
00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: and forth. I think a lot of fans understand, you know,

143
00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:50,520
Speaker 2: the positional responsibilities by the by the guys and the players.

144
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 2: But my responsibility really is to just come here, excite

145
00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 2: the fans, you know, support the team, do our game.

146
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 2: They deal as we always do. After the game, I

147
00:08:02,800 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 2: just try to get it out and get a nice

148
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 2: dinner or something something light, and you know, just kind

149
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 2: of stay put and see what happens if we win.

150
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,760
Speaker 2: My dinner's a lot better than if it goes the

151
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,200
Speaker 2: other way.

152
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 1: Bred always a pleasure. Thanks for the time and we'll

153
00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:18,640
Speaker 1: see you at Wembley coming up Sunday.

154
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: I see JP. Be good.
