1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: Time for a weekly visit with pride of the Jaguars,

2
00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: running back Fred Taylor. The Jacksonville Jaguars are in first

3
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: place in the A F C south. Friend is that? Man?

4
00:00:11,160 --> 00:00:15,000
Speaker 1: I wanted it the echo throughout Jacksonville. Right, at least

5
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:17,639
Speaker 1: that's where it starts. But we haven't said that in

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,680
Speaker 1: quite some time. But it feels good. I know it's only, uh,

7
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,480
Speaker 1: week three now, but you gotta celebrate your Wins Right.

8
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,880
Speaker 1: That builds confidence and that allows you to believe in

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,200
Speaker 1: yourself and what you're capable of. So it's a good start.

10
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 1: It's a good start. I really believe they should be

11
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: two or oh, but it's the NFL. The other teams

12
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,040
Speaker 1: should be something and something. Uh, everyone believes they should

13
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,040
Speaker 1: win every week. But man, JP, those guys look great

14
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: on defense. A week ago the offense was steady. Again,

15
00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: big saluted trevor. I really think that. You know, if

16
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,640
Speaker 1: the defense didn't play so well, he would have gotten

17
00:00:58,640 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: player of the game, but he was deservingly uh, he

18
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,840
Speaker 1: was deserving of a nod since because, in my opinion,

19
00:01:05,840 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: it was his best game as a pro. But you know,

20
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: in the driver's seat, guys, long season. Got Another what

21
00:01:13,880 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: do we have left another fifteen, including today. Right. So Um, yeah,

22
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: long season still left. A couple of years ago, I

23
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: mean we would only be in week two with fifteen

24
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,400
Speaker 1: games remaining. But a salute to those guys man. Job

25
00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: Well done. Got To get this one a day. So,

26
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 1: week to week league and Doug Peterson earlier this week

27
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: was asked about running the ball not as much last

28
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: week and the way they threw it around in the

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: short yardage stuff. He said you do what it takes

30
00:01:44,080 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: to win the game. Games every week. They might run

31
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,840
Speaker 1: it forty times one week if they have to, and

32
00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: they might throw it forty times the next. That's just

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: the way this offense is going to run and that

34
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: just feels a little different around here. Listen, that's just

35
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: the way the NFL is now, you know, prior to

36
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: two thousand and eleven, when they switched up to C

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: B A and uh, you know, a lot of rules

38
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: have followed, you know, building up to that. And now

39
00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:11,959
Speaker 1: we're in the past league. We're in the past league.

40
00:02:12,440 --> 00:02:14,119
Speaker 1: Back in the day it was a run first league

41
00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: and you can ask those questions. Why didn't we run

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: in twenty five plus? You know, and I agree with

43
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 1: coach Peterson, you do what it takes to win the game.

44
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:26,560
Speaker 1: You know, point blank, period simple trending around the league.

45
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: You know, I'm into fantasy football here lately and I'm

46
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: looking at these running backs in their six carries, seven carries,

47
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 1: nine carries. I mean superstar running back, the Derrick Henry's

48
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 1: of the world. Look at what Jonathan Taylor left last

49
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:45,240
Speaker 1: week's game. I don't know if he had got double

50
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 1: digit carries. I know in the first half it was

51
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: only like five carries for four yards and that wasn't

52
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,760
Speaker 1: gonna work for them to win their games. So their

53
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:54,920
Speaker 1: coaches said, we have to abort and give it to

54
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: Mike Matt Ryan Fifty Times to let him try to

55
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: bring us back. So whatever it takes to win the game,

56
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: that's what you do. Coach Peterson is a super bowl

57
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:09,640
Speaker 1: winning head coach. You'RE gonna question him? I don't think so.

58
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: So you know, script it up, you know study it,

59
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: scripted up, whatever it takes to getting sometimes the course

60
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,640
Speaker 1: of the game changes, D Pete, you never know what

61
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,560
Speaker 1: you're in you know. You see somethingone take, if that

62
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: doesn't work. What makes you a great coach and a

63
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:28,639
Speaker 1: great team is you're able to make those adjustments and

64
00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,520
Speaker 1: uh make the most of it and uh come away

65
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: with victories. Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor

66
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,559
Speaker 1: is with us. Let's move it ahead now to the

67
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: game today against the L A chargers. It's a chargers

68
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: team that many picked to win the A F C West.

69
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: It's a tough division, obviously, with all those teams there.

70
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: Everybody upgraded, it felt like, in the offseason at least,

71
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 1: either with a pass rusher or a quarterback or some

72
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: kind of skill player. But Hey, let's start at the quarterback.

73
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert's not he has a rib issue and you know,

74
00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:04,440
Speaker 1: if you're a quarterback with a RIB issue, if you're

75
00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 1: a broadcaster with a rib issue, that's not a good thing.

76
00:04:07,760 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: So h what's what's the plan against the guy like

77
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 1: Herbert today who might be limited in the in his

78
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:17,800
Speaker 1: mobility and his pain threshold? Well, the plan for for me,

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,719
Speaker 1: first and foremost, JP, it's the trip. I'm an old

80
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: school guy, right. I mean I played thirteen years and

81
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: throughout my career it was the uh San Diego chargers

82
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: and the Washington redskins. So two out of the first

83
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 1: three games, I gotta remind myself we got different team names. So, uh,

84
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: that's where it starts with me. But to answer your question,

85
00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 1: the chargers tall task with a very tall quarterback who

86
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: has some very long and tall I would assume he

87
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 1: has tall ribs, which might mean they might hurt a

88
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,880
Speaker 1: little bit more with this fracture, cartilage fracture, that he's

89
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: dealing with. I don't know. I alluded to on the

90
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: post game show. I had some I had to my

91
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: injury back in the past, some years ago, and uh,

92
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't feel great. You know, it does, whether you're

93
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,919
Speaker 1: you're twisting, you're turning. You know, I I alluded to,

94
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, using the restroom, at whatever points in time

95
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: you use the restroom, that it also hurts when you're

96
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: on the toilet. Uh. So I believe that if the

97
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 1: guys get a good shot on him, which I think

98
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,919
Speaker 1: they will, because they've been playing great defense, uh, in

99
00:05:25,960 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 1: the first two weeks they've gotten a lot of pressure

100
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:32,120
Speaker 1: on the opposing quarterbacks. Um. But this guy is different,

101
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: you know, he's taller, he gets the ball out quicker,

102
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 1: he has pretty good receivers. Um. Uh, he has a

103
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: nice core receivers, some running backs that are capable and

104
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 1: they don't have to just depend on him the entire game.

105
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna do something fancy where they're not

106
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:50,839
Speaker 1: gonna allow him to hold the ball. I don't know

107
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: if you will see a lot of play action passes

108
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,840
Speaker 1: out of them, because that requires holding the ball, letting

109
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: the play develop a bit more, which gives the defensive

110
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,920
Speaker 1: front a little bit more time to get to him.

111
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,599
Speaker 1: But again, he came back in after he heard his

112
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: uh ribs against the chiefs. He came back in and,

113
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 1: you know, try to close out the game for him.

114
00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: Unfortunately didn't happen, but he's a tough guy. You know,

115
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: we have to worry about ourselves. We have to be

116
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: on point, we have to cover when it's time to cover.

117
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 1: You know, stop the run when it's time to stop run.

118
00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: And on the flip side, Um, the offense is going

119
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,599
Speaker 1: up against a great defensive front, you know, and Bossa

120
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 1: Khalil Mack. You know, they had some additions on the

121
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: back end with J C Jackson. Uh Derham James just

122
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: got the big mega deal, the highest pace safety in

123
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 1: the game. So the offense has a lot on their

124
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,720
Speaker 1: play too. But still, at the end of the day

125
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,039
Speaker 1: it comes down to uh, executing, making the plays that

126
00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:54,000
Speaker 1: are there to be made, and whatever happens is gonna happen.

127
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 1: And hopefully what happens is the Jag will be successful

128
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 1: on the West Coast and they come back on there's

129
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: all smiles on their faces. Fred Taylor with us? Yeah,

130
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you about Botha and Mac, and

131
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:12,000
Speaker 1: those I mean. Mac is a large human being to

132
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: begin with, long arms and just a different kind of

133
00:07:14,720 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: setup than Bosa, it feels like, to Florida Boys. Right, right,

134
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 1: that's right. Um. So how do you slow these guys down?

135
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: Run the football, right, you do want to run the football.

136
00:07:26,600 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: That's the best neutral neutralizer for some great pass rushers

137
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: is to run the ball. Throw them off and their

138
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: first instinct isn't just gonna be let's go get the quarterback,

139
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hold up, we gotta stop this run,

140
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 1: we gotta brace down and stop the run so that

141
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:45,680
Speaker 1: split second can be key and and and neutralizing them,

142
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: or at least slowing them down. And on the other

143
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: side of it, when you are in the past game

144
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: and pass mode, what you want to do, J P,

145
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,679
Speaker 1: when you're in past mode is, uh, half the backs

146
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:00,160
Speaker 1: released chip, quick release chip. Or maybe, if the those

147
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:02,720
Speaker 1: guys are really a huge threat, which they can be,

148
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: you know, you instead of chipping them, you could take

149
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: a bigger piece out of them, and we like to

150
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: call those chunks. Uh, you know, like the cookies, right,

151
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,600
Speaker 1: you have chips and you have chunks. For the people

152
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: that are slow in the back that didn't understand the terminology. Uh,

153
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 1: you can take a chunk out of them and you

154
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: really slow them down. Uh. In that case you could

155
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: really take some real strong rib shots uh, and that

156
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: will help buy the quarterback sometime, which allowed the guys

157
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: get opened out Phil and allowed for the offense a

158
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 1: better opportunity to execute. All Right, Fred Finals thought. You know,

159
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:37,320
Speaker 1: there's all this talk about all this personnel in L

160
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,720
Speaker 1: A and we just mentioned a lot of the names there.

161
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,440
Speaker 1: And you know what, though, there's there's good players on

162
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: this Jaguars team too. They stepped up well last week.

163
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's a there's some confidence in this

164
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,680
Speaker 1: building over here too. They can go to the west coast.

165
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: They're not worried about the past record on the West Coast.

166
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: None of these guys were here for a lot of

167
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: those games up against the chargers this week and there's

168
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 1: there's confidence they can do that. Look, I think we

169
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: get carried away with we meaning fans. I'm a fan,

170
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: you're a fan. You know, fans listening to the pregame show, uh,

171
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,000
Speaker 1: we you know. We we hear about these free agents

172
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,559
Speaker 1: and the moves and these superstar guys. We know what

173
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:19,680
Speaker 1: Khalil Mac you know what he did prior to uh

174
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: going up to Chicago, and then he hadn't done a

175
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: whole lot in the past couple of years. Um. We

176
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: know Bosa. He's a great young talent. We know if

177
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: his brother and we we know of all these. You

178
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 1: know these names. But again, there was quite some time jp,

179
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:39,679
Speaker 1: and I know you recalled this, the New England patriots.

180
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:43,080
Speaker 1: They didn't care what the names were on back of

181
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: their jerseys. They inserted guys and those guys went out

182
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,880
Speaker 1: to play and they became superstars in the process. No

183
00:09:49,880 --> 00:09:53,080
Speaker 1: one knew who Julian Leddelman was, you know, before he

184
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: took off, because Wes Welker, he's a good player, but

185
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,720
Speaker 1: he wasn't just a household superstar name. And here we

186
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: had have the Christian Kirk a guy who is an

187
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: amazing playmaker. You have a James Robinson, a guy who

188
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 1: was undrafted, uh, fighting through an Achilles injury. He's back

189
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,080
Speaker 1: now and he's looking amazing. You know, we have a

190
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: young running back in travis e t N. he's capable.

191
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: You know, you have zay Jones talking to their receivers,

192
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,400
Speaker 1: receivers coach, last week before the start of the last game.

193
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: He's like people hadn't seen everything that's that is capable of,

194
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 1: and he's not even the number two, one or two guy.

195
00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 1: You know, Marvin Jones, the consummate pro, just an amazing veteran,

196
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,160
Speaker 1: consistent vet uh, and that's just on the offense. And

197
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: then on the defense you have some good, you know,

198
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:43,199
Speaker 1: very good players, not big names, but all of that

199
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,839
Speaker 1: is it makes for the matchup. You know, once that

200
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 1: clock strikes uh, when the ball is kicked off and

201
00:10:50,679 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: and it's time to go, all of that goes out

202
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: the window. You know, players aren't saying, Oh, I'm starstruck,

203
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:59,439
