1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: It's always a big game when Andrew Cataloan's on the call.

2
00:00:02,600 --> 00:00:05,440
Speaker 1: It's been a few weeks Jaguars Texans the last time,

3
00:00:05,480 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: but now the Eagles Jaguars matchup in Philly. Good to

4
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,440
Speaker 1: see you again.

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:12,160
Speaker 2: How are you too, JP. Always good to be with

6
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:13,560
Speaker 2: you on a Jaguars week.

7
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's a big Jaguars week. Every week's a

8
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:18,640
Speaker 1: big week. But boy, for the Jaguars right now, two

9
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: and six, just trying to get out of their own

10
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:23,760
Speaker 1: way a lot of times. There's a lot going on now.

11
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: There's the pre snat penalties the past. Defense hasn't been good,

12
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: They've got injuries all over the field. On offense, they're

13
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,360
Speaker 1: making trades and it's only week nine. Like it's a

14
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,639
Speaker 1: lot happening, a.

15
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:37,519
Speaker 2: Lot, a lot happening. And I thought they played you know,

16
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,080
Speaker 2: obviously you'll point to the mistakes that occurred, but they've

17
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 2: played a pretty good game against Green Bay on Sunday.

18
00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:46,960
Speaker 2: I know that Malik Willis was the quarterback and not

19
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,240
Speaker 2: Jordan Love for most of the second half, but I

20
00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:51,640
Speaker 2: thought there was a lot of encouraging signs Compared to

21
00:00:51,680 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 2: the last time I got ready to call a Jaguars game,

22
00:00:54,400 --> 00:00:58,280
Speaker 2: which was Week four in Houston, so still not there obviously,

23
00:00:58,480 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: but we saw what happened a couple of years ago

24
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:03,440
Speaker 2: when they were two and six. I think Trevor is

25
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,160
Speaker 2: playing better football now. I know I'm wearing the you know,

26
00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 2: the rose colored glasses, but that's the way I'm looking

27
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: at Jacksonville as I get set for this one.

28
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:15,160
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean he had two giveaways last week in

29
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: his own end, the interception and then a fumble you

30
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: can't have. But then rally the team so you know,

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and got them down the field without three starting receivers

32
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: out there. That's tough to do. You got two tight

33
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,880
Speaker 1: ends in the game, that's all you're left with. So

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: you got to give the quarterback credit.

35
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: No doubt, no doubt. I think Brenton Strange had a

36
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 2: really nice second half. Four of his five catches were

37
00:01:36,080 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 2: after halftime when they needed him because of the injuries.

38
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram I think is still a really good tight

39
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 2: end in this league. And I give the coaching staff

40
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,680
Speaker 2: credit for adjusting without the receivers. We had to see

41
00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:49,680
Speaker 2: them in double tight end a lot in that second

42
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: halfter and the comeback, so you know, some positive signs,

43
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: but still not where any of the Jaguars fans thought

44
00:01:56,840 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: they would be after eight games this year.

45
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: Andrew, there's another trade that's happened, of course, this week.

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 1: Cam Robinson is gone to Minnesota. He'll be back next week,

47
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: by the way, to face off against the Jags. That'll

48
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: be an interesting conversation. Roy Robertson Harris was traded earlier

49
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: this year, a couple of Vets with bigger contracts. It's

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,360
Speaker 1: kind of that time, you know, they're not out of

51
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: it mathematically, but they're giving Walker Little a shot at

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,080
Speaker 1: left tackle the rest of the season. It's the final

53
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: year of his rookie deal, so that's kind of where

54
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 1: they are in the offensive line right now too.

55
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's a great opportunity for Walker

56
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 2: and for the organization to figure out if this is

57
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 2: a guy that we want to bring back and make

58
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 2: our left tackle of the future. So in some ways

59
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 2: I understand the trade. I feel like, you know, these

60
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: days the last few years, more and more trades compared

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 2: to ten fifteen years ago. So I find that interesting

62
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,160
Speaker 2: becoming more of the norm in the NFL. So I

63
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 2: wouldn't be surprised if we see a lot of activity

64
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:57,280
Speaker 2: before the trading deadline next week.

65
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,760
Speaker 1: All right, final thought about this Jags offense. At least

66
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,800
Speaker 1: some young guys really playing well. Tank Bigsby stepped in

67
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 1: and with Travis Eati and Junior dinged up a little bit.

68
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: He's really performed well over the last month. And then

69
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:13,639
Speaker 1: Brian Thomas Junior showing off. He had a chest injury

70
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: last week. We'll see a status moving ahead. But to

71
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:19,239
Speaker 1: have those young guys stepping up and playing big, that's

72
00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:22,520
Speaker 1: a bright spot in an otherwise dull start to the season.

73
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 2: Big time, big time.

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 1: You know.

75
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm really hoping that Thomas plays because I'd like to

76
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 2: talk to him in our production meeting. I'd like to

77
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 2: get a sense of this young man because I've been

78
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 2: really impressed with the way that he has played, and

79
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 2: Tank Bigsby certainly has, you know, I think that you

80
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: see it a lot, you know with JP that when

81
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: you have a year under your belt, it's it's almost

82
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 2: like you're a whole new player in that second season.

83
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: So I feel like he's made that really nice leap

84
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: this year, and there's there's some bright points, you know.

85
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,800
Speaker 2: I think if they put it all together, it's a

86
00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: pretty good team. Obviously, Kirk is no longer there, and

87
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be a huge loss. But

88
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: you're right, the younger players have stepped up in some

89
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: nice spots here for them this season.

90
00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: All right, Andrew Cattle on CBS Sports with US, Jaguars

91
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: defense will have their hands full. They've had their hands

92
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 1: full most weeks this season. Let's be honest with you.

93
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 1: They've struggled up front in a lot of areas. Rushing

94
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 1: the passer hasn't been great. Linebackers are on and off

95
00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:24,400
Speaker 1: the field, The Lucan's been out a lot. The secondary

96
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: has issues in pass coverage. That's a long list of things.

97
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: And they're going up against an Eagles team that can

98
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:33,800
Speaker 1: pound you. And they've got Saquon Barkley, who's second in

99
00:04:33,800 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: the league in rushing yards, two time All Pro Bowler.

100
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 1: He's fit right in in Philly. I mean, I guess

101
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: he could fit right in anywhere, right.

102
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's special. He's a really good player. Called some

103
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:49,279
Speaker 2: of his games with the Giants over the years. Interestingly

104
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 2: for me, JP is that this my first game as

105
00:04:54,560 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 2: a full time CBS announcer was Week one of twenty fourteen,

106
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:04,400
Speaker 2: when the Jaguars were at the Eagles, Alan Hearns burst

107
00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 2: on the scene. They had a nice lead in that

108
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 2: game and let it slip away. Eagles on CBS not

109
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:13,040
Speaker 2: a team that I see very often, is my point.

110
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 2: And watching their film against Cincinnati last week, you know,

111
00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: the first half they kind of mosied around, but then

112
00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 2: the way their offense looked in the second half really

113
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 2: impressed me. I mean, they whether it's Barkley on the

114
00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:31,599
Speaker 2: ground or Devonte Smith or AJ Brown, you gotta worry

115
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: about Jalen Hurts running. There's a lot of different ways

116
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: they can beat you. So yes, the Jaguars defense will

117
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 2: have their hands full with a very hot Eagles team

118
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: that has won three straight coming off their by.

119
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: What's the key to stopping this Eagles push play?

120
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 2: I think that nobody can figure it out. It's amazing.

121
00:05:55,080 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: Now we have to decide if we want to call

122
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:59,919
Speaker 2: it the tush push or the brotherly shove. That'll have

123
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 2: to be something we spend a lot of time with

124
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,880
Speaker 2: analyzing this week. But if you're a Jaguars fan, you

125
00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 2: don't want to hear it at all because I think

126
00:06:07,200 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 2: they're around an eighty two percent success rate when they

127
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: run that play. Jalen Hurts had two of his three

128
00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 2: rushing touchdowns against the Bengals on that play. I don't know.

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 2: I mean, it's it's something that no one has really

130
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:21,479
Speaker 2: been able to figure out, and certainly I'm not going

131
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 2: to be able to help the Jags do it either.

132
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,360
Speaker 1: Andrew catal On with us AFC South, give us an

133
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: idea of the rest of the division right now. We

134
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 1: know what the Texans are, their record, Hey, there's questions

135
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: in Indy right now a quarterback. It's a lot going

136
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:35,600
Speaker 1: on in this division.

137
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Wild you know, so I had had the Titans, I've

138
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 2: had the AFC South the last few weeks. I had

139
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:46,480
Speaker 2: the Titans in Buffalo. You know, without Levis Mason Rudolph,

140
00:06:46,680 --> 00:06:49,960
Speaker 2: there's a lot going on there. Obviously they trade DeAndre Hopkins.

141
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 2: They only had two running backs going into that games.

142
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 2: You know, they're feeling their way through. And then last

143
00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 2: week I had the Colts Texans game in Houston, and

144
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:00,960
Speaker 2: you know, we met with Shane steike It on Saturday night.

145
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 2: We told this on the air. We said, hey, when

146
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 2: Flacco played those two games, he looked pretty good, and

147
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 2: he's like, yeah, I get it. But Richardson is our

148
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 2: quarterback of the future. And he's got to play well.

149
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 2: Here we are and that's how quickly it changes in

150
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: the NFL. A few days he pulled himself out of

151
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 2: the game. What role that had into it, I don't know,

152
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 2: but the culture in flux. But but here's the thing.

153
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,120
Speaker 2: They're going to probably be pretty good with Joe Flacco.

154
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: I mean, this could change their season in a positive way.

155
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,920
Speaker 2: As you know. Obviously the Richardson part of it and

156
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,560
Speaker 2: how that plays out in the future, you know that

157
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: that is a great question. But in a short term,

158
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,640
Speaker 2: this could be a pretty good team with Flacco running

159
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 2: the quarterback. And now Houston, you know, Nico Collins still

160
00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 2: out but almost back, but no digs. Their offensive line

161
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 2: has not performed well, you know. So you know, yeah,

162
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 2: they're six and two, but they're not to me the

163
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 2: juggernaut that I thought they were maybe a month ago.

164
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,120
Speaker 1: A lot of football left to be played. Where in

165
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: a halfway point and we'll see what happens. The Jags

166
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: have rallied before in circumstances like these, we'll see if

167
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: they can do it again. Always good to talk to you, Andrew,

168
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:11,640
Speaker 1: appreciate it man, you too, pal. Thank you
