WEBVTT - Ep. 27: All About the Response | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:20.880 Now I think I think, I mean, it's hard to 0:00:20.880 --> 0:00:22.400 say if you're over it, but but I think they 0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:26.000 were much more relaxed and and uh really the energy 0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:28.520 today was much better than last week. You know, you 0:00:28.560 --> 0:00:30.280 saw it on the sideline. You saw it with the 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.400 with the guys, the demeanor, their play, all of that, 0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:35.840 and it's things that we talked about during the week 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.000 and and you know, it's it's it's about how we respond, 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:41.400 and the guys responded extremely well today. 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.960 A good effort and a much needed win. We welcome 0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:51.800 you into jags Am here on victory Monday from England. 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:56.160 We are at Hanbury Manor for our first jags Am 0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:58.720 in London. You guys, and it's a good one. 0:00:58.880 --> 0:01:03.360 I believe it's pronounced Hanbury Mana Hanbury Mana, and you're right, 0:01:03.440 --> 0:01:05.480 it is a good one. You could feel the pressure 0:01:05.480 --> 0:01:08.840 building for this team. It was internal, right, the questions 0:01:08.920 --> 0:01:10.960 that were asked if coaches and players they got tired 0:01:11.000 --> 0:01:15.360 of and they were ready. They were ready to put 0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:18.200 that past them and the win means that they can 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:19.199 enjoy this week. 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:21.280 John, I don't know if we called it a must win, 0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:23.360 but we felt like they needed to win right. 0:01:23.360 --> 0:01:26.120 Well, it wasn't a must win in the standings, but 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.920 sort of that. It sure felt like this team needed confidence. 0:01:30.240 --> 0:01:32.319 It needed, as Brian said, to get those questions out 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:36.200 of the way. I don't want to see him breathing easy, Brian, 0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.280 because this is still it's two and two. But it 0:01:39.319 --> 0:01:42.160 gets you back to even everybody in the AFC South 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:42.760 is too and two. 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.320 Well, when I say enjoy the week, you know it's 0:01:45.319 --> 0:01:49.120 a much better week to prepare, especially for a Bills 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:51.480 team that's coming in and they're just walloping people. You 0:01:51.480 --> 0:01:53.680 saw what they did yesterday. They've done that three weeks 0:01:53.680 --> 0:01:56.600 in a row, and so you can prepare a little 0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.640 looser because last week Trevor had said over and over 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.200 and over they need to play loose, they need to 0:02:01.200 --> 0:02:04.240 play free. If they had lost on Sunday at Wembley, 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:06.840 they would have played so tight it would have just 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.600 made for an awful week of dealing with the media 0:02:10.639 --> 0:02:13.639 and being away from home. This takes a little of 0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:14.600 that pressure off and lets. 0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.639 Them play free, and not for nothing. But we all 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:19.400 think we know everything about the NFL, right, Houston not 0:02:19.560 --> 0:02:20.000 so bad? 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.080 Go figure it out, right. The Titans got beat by 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:26.079 Cleveland two weeks ago, two Sundays ago, twenty seventh three, 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.000 and yesterday they beat the Bengals twenty seven three. And 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.760 you just look throughout the NFL and who's good and 0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.239 who is it? Well, I know who is These Bills 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:36.639 that are coming to London this week. 0:02:36.840 --> 0:02:39.519 They're good and the way the early season has played out, 0:02:39.800 --> 0:02:43.280 it couldn't be more appropriate that this division everybody's two 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:44.520 and two, because that's what it's felt like. 0:02:44.600 --> 0:02:47.320 Guy, Absolutely, let's get to our big things this week, 0:02:47.480 --> 0:02:49.639 because there were some big things. They finally got a win, 0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.480 so we're talking here on victory Monday. That'll do. Is 0:02:52.520 --> 0:02:55.639 our first big win. The offense had some issues. They 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:58.320 haven't quite figured it all the way out, but that 0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.960 one beautiful drive where we saw them convert on the 0:03:01.000 --> 0:03:03.639 fourth down and then get the touchdown throw to Calvin 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:06.640 Ridley was something we are hoping to see more of 0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.440 going throughout the season. Christian Kirk talked about after the 0:03:09.440 --> 0:03:10.959 game about why this is such a big win. 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:12.840 It's tough. 0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:15.120 You know, winning in this league is tough, and especially 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:16.720 when you're losing, it's even harder. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:18.560 So when you go. 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.600 To back to back to back losses, it weighs really heavy. 0:03:21.639 --> 0:03:23.560 On you weighs heavy on the locker room, and so 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.160 you're just doing everything that you can to put together 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:28.840 a performance like we did today and just be able 0:03:28.880 --> 0:03:30.840 to be able to get a win, and you know, 0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:33.160 being able to come into the locker room and the sideline, 0:03:33.200 --> 0:03:36.240 just the energy and seeing the smiles on everybody's face. It's, 0:03:36.400 --> 0:03:38.360 you know, you never take this stuff for granted winning 0:03:38.400 --> 0:03:41.240 in the NFL. So, like I said, just just great 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.200 for us to get this get this thing back on 0:03:43.280 --> 0:03:44.560 track and get our confidence back. 0:03:47.160 --> 0:03:47.400 Guys. 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.000 I talk to some of the players post game kind 0:03:49.040 --> 0:03:52.520 of describing that touchdown throw that drive itself, but it 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:55.200 was kind of like a you could release the breath. 0:03:55.200 --> 0:03:57.120 It's if everyone's holding their breath. And finally, I'm like, 0:03:57.600 --> 0:03:59.520 it's just like it's just like a breath of fresh 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.080 air forever everybody and just to just to get that 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.240 monkey off Colvin's back kind of score and then let 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:05.440 everybody else play it free. 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:08.760 I thought that fourth down throw was the play of 0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:10.400 the game. And I know you could talk about Josh 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.360 Allen's tripsack that ended it or the Calvin touchdown that 0:04:13.480 --> 0:04:16.360 it set up, but it just felt like, Okay, they 0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:18.200 were struggling a bit. They were one of three on 0:04:18.320 --> 0:04:20.760 third down to that point. It felt like we were 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.440 watching the same offense. And then Doug said, go for 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:25.760 it at the thirty eight, which obviously is the right decision, 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:29.520 but not the field goal. Let's go for it. And 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:31.600 so instead of trying to hand it off, which hasn't 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:33.640 worked very well for this team, he put in the 0:04:33.680 --> 0:04:35.440 hands of the quarterback and let him make the play 0:04:35.680 --> 0:04:37.720 with his guy with Christian Kirk, and it was an 0:04:37.760 --> 0:04:41.520 absolute laser. I thought that was the game defining play 0:04:41.560 --> 0:04:44.839 because it said enough, we're gonna play like we play. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.599 And of course they weren't perfect the rest of the way, 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:49.880 but they were much better. And you heard Doug say 0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:50.479 that off the top. 0:04:50.839 --> 0:04:52.880 Well, I'm with you. I thought it was a big play. 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.560 I thought overall the game. You know, it's hard to 0:04:56.560 --> 0:04:58.080 say it was a great offensive every because they had 0:04:58.080 --> 0:05:00.840 three hundred yards and they had one touchdown. But Doug 0:05:00.880 --> 0:05:03.640 and the players talked, and I agree with him. There 0:05:03.640 --> 0:05:06.479 were moments in the second half that were really important, 0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:08.440 getting out of the shadow of their own end zone. 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.440 When you know, if you weren't aware of the score, 0:05:11.560 --> 0:05:14.159 it felt like the Falcons had momentum for about twenty minutes, 0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:16.400 and each time the Jaguars sort of had a heavy 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:18.440 lift to get out of it, and they went down 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:20.480 and got a field goal, the Ridley play. They had 0:05:20.520 --> 0:05:24.680 big moments in the second half that didn't result in touchdowns, 0:05:24.839 --> 0:05:27.040 but it does feel like something you can build toward, 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:29.080 and right now, that's what this team's looking for. They're 0:05:29.120 --> 0:05:31.640 looking for things. Okay, this is what we did. Now 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.520 let's keep getting better and better and better. This is 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:35.960 sort of a building block motion, Kyle, that's what that 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:36.599 is right there. 0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:38.159 I'm very impressed outside. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.000 So now you're doing building block motions, very performative. 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:42.120 I'm impressed. I like that. 0:05:42.839 --> 0:05:46.240 Let's go to our big thing number two, which is money. Money. Money. 0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:48.760 Josh Allen is in a contract year and he sure 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.720 looks like he's playing for that money, but he's getting 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:53.479 help from his teammates as well. A lot of those 0:05:53.520 --> 0:05:55.880 were coverage sacks, you know, kind of set up schemes 0:05:55.920 --> 0:05:58.400 that way. But Josh talked a little bit postgame about 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:00.680 the importance of working with his teammate throughout the year. 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:05.039 It's definitely progression. I think we let him off the 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:07.960 hook a little bit beginning of that second half to 0:06:08.040 --> 0:06:11.120 give him that touchdown. So there's still room for improvement 0:06:11.160 --> 0:06:13.159 up front, and you know, especially with the whole defense 0:06:13.200 --> 0:06:16.800 to not allow that to happen. But you know, as 0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.440 a heck of way to fight, heck of guys to 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.039 make their plays when the number was called, and you know, 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.599 for my performance, man's I couldn't do a lot of 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:25.640 it without the guys in front of me. So you know, 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:28.320 I fully helped me push the pocket as well, you know, 0:06:28.360 --> 0:06:30.640 to help me get that one. And then Trey Hernan 0:06:30.880 --> 0:06:33.440 for the inside blitze quarterback, you know, rolled out right 0:06:33.480 --> 0:06:35.599 into me in the second one. I told the DBS 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.120 just to give me a little bit more time, so 0:06:38.960 --> 0:06:42.159 you know. So it's definitely a collection of everybody working together. 0:06:42.720 --> 0:06:44.960 And but you know that process starts in practice, so 0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:48.760 we continue to practice hard, continue to communicate. Good things 0:06:48.760 --> 0:06:49.160 may come. 0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:53.680 Past. Trojan isn't exactly where we wanted to be. But 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.560 you can't fault Josh for what he's been doing so 0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.040 far this season. John, He's been really impressive in the 0:06:58.040 --> 0:06:59.120 games where he hasn't been hurt. 0:06:59.160 --> 0:07:00.800 I will say against Chiefs he was hurt. 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:02.680 But other than that, well, he's my hot take. So 0:07:02.680 --> 0:07:05.000 I'm not gonna you know, it's really hot. 0:07:05.040 --> 0:07:06.799 Yeah, I'm boiling hot. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:10.320 I'm not going to ruin it. But the defense, you know, 0:07:11.320 --> 0:07:14.880 there were such expectations for this offense that fans now 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.840 look at it and every time the offense doesn't score, 0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:20.200 I get emails saying this season's over. You know it's 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:23.160 all well right now. Credit the defense for keeping this 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.720 team afloat. This offense will get to where it's supposed 0:07:26.720 --> 0:07:29.400 to go. I think there's too much to not believe that. 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.720 I still maintain that Josh Allen and in these defensive players, 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:36.080 they're giving you something to believe in for when that 0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.520 offense gets hot. I think it still shapes up well. Brian, 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:41.640 and I am mister optimist as always. 0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.040 Well, Josh was really good. And Trayvon Walker needs to 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.640 get credit for the play that he made on Desmond 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:51.240 Ridder on that final fourth down throw. Ridder saw Trayvon 0:07:51.320 --> 0:07:53.280 bearing down on him and had to leave his feet 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.720 to throw the ball high. You know, even though you 0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:57.880 had Drake London in the back of the end zone, 0:07:57.920 --> 0:07:59.680 you know, six foot five, he had to go up 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:01.520 so high to get it. He had no chance to 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.000 put his legs down. That play was made by Trey 0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:05.800 Herndon in the back, but it was also made up 0:08:05.840 --> 0:08:07.840 front by tray Von Walker. I get it. You know 0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:11.960 Walker is not performing, you know, sackwise like Aiden Hutchinson is. 0:08:12.000 --> 0:08:14.440 And that's the comparison right now. But it wasn't just 0:08:14.520 --> 0:08:18.040 Josh Allen upfront. Roy Robertson Harris was pushing the pocket. 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:20.920 You heard Josh mention fully fought Takasi. There's a lot 0:08:20.920 --> 0:08:23.120 of reasons to believe in this team. We knew that 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:24.840 Foya Luacon was going to have a good game. We 0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:27.360 kind of questioned what Chad Mumma might give and early 0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.360 on he was left standing there watching as Jean Robinson 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.160 went by. But late in the game where there was 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.200 a wide open screen to Robinson, he got his hand 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:35.920 up and deflected the pass. I mean, there were a 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:38.520 lot of guys, a lot of guys that made plays. 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.720 Yesterday on the defensive side of the ball. 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:41.760 I'll couch that a little bit. 0:08:41.800 --> 0:08:43.680 The offense we saw good, but a lot of defense 0:08:43.760 --> 0:08:45.080 yesterday in all different facts. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:46.240 I thought that was what we were talking about. 0:08:46.280 --> 0:08:48.360 Yes of course, we'll get to that later gone in 0:08:48.920 --> 0:08:51.400 the show. Our final big thing, though, is going to 0:08:51.440 --> 0:08:54.160 be former Falcons because, as you mentioned, Foya Luacon, but 0:08:54.200 --> 0:08:56.800 also Calvin Ridley, as we mentioned, also played in Atlanta, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.080 and boy was a big part of the defense and 0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.199 just the way he controls the defense and the way 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:02.520 he communicates with everybody. 0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.560 He had a huge play. I think it was in 0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.160 early in the fourth quarter. They set up a screen 0:09:08.240 --> 0:09:11.120 and it was Robinson and he had two blockers in 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.360 front of him, and he had room to go. I mean, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:17.040 it was gonna flip the script and Foyer read it 0:09:17.080 --> 0:09:20.400 perfectly and dropped him for a three yard loss. And 0:09:20.520 --> 0:09:22.720 people might gloss over that play in the big scheme 0:09:22.760 --> 0:09:26.080 of things, but that's set up second and long, which 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:27.960 the Jaguars then forced them to punt. So it was 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.240 a great play. It shouldn't be glossed over at all. 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.920 I thought it was a play that does get glossed 0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:36.760 over and hidden like a lot of players do in 0:09:36.800 --> 0:09:40.000 the NFL. The Falcons had momentum in a big way. 0:09:40.120 --> 0:09:42.560 I think at that point they were driving to make 0:09:42.559 --> 0:09:45.199 it a one possession game, but boy, it felt like 0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:48.520 they were getting back into it to create the situation 0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:51.560 where all of a sudden, the Falcons were in long yardage. 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.960 I do key plays. I did six of him yesterday. 0:09:55.440 --> 0:09:57.599 That probably should have been one of him. It was 0:09:57.640 --> 0:09:59.920 that big and he had a good game that you expect. 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:05.120 And this defense, I keep talking about it. I guess 0:10:05.240 --> 0:10:07.840 Josh Allen's playing like a superstar right now because the 0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:12.920 Saxon action. But overall, I said before the season, all 0:10:12.920 --> 0:10:14.439 of a sudden you looked at it and there were 0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:16.960 no weaknesses on this defense. There was no spot where 0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:21.640 you said, ooh, this scares me a little. So far 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.559 through four games, with the exception of the Houston game, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:26.640 it's played like that. You could probably if you're sitting 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:28.920 there making big plays, you could probably make a case 0:10:28.960 --> 0:10:31.160 that all eleven starters had made at least one where 0:10:31.200 --> 0:10:34.080 you went okay, that mattered. I don't think there's any 0:10:34.120 --> 0:10:36.560 all pro guys on this defense. Maybe Josh Allen, but 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.160 there's a lot of really good players right now. 0:10:38.200 --> 0:10:40.920 And you mentioned former Falcon Calvin Ridley. He had the 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:44.800 thirty yard touchdown, but as big was the pass interference. 0:10:45.080 --> 0:10:47.559 He was open a lot and he was frustrated at 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:50.720 points yesterday because Trevor was not sending the ball down 0:10:50.760 --> 0:10:54.840 the field. That particular play you could see Trevor just 0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:56.719 wind up and let it go, knowing he was either 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:58.120 going to catch it he was gonna get the PI. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.280 Yeah, the pass interference, even even beyond the thirty yard plays, 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.680 it looked like a miscommunication on the touchdown. 0:11:03.679 --> 0:11:05.360 So, you know, great play. 0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:08.920 I don't know that Calvin Ridley being Calvin really necessarily 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:09.400 created that. 0:11:09.320 --> 0:11:10.960 That was a great play by Trevor Lawrence to shake 0:11:10.960 --> 0:11:11.680 the defender off. 0:11:11.720 --> 0:11:14.280 But the interference penalty is exactly why you went and 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.840 got Calvin Ridley because a big play in a big 0:11:16.880 --> 0:11:20.559 moment that his ability created that interference and it was 0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:24.360 the kind of play the big time players make. That 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:28.520 was another hidden play. It gave them a first down, 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:32.800 it went on to get a very important lead increasing 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.360 field goal. Again, he won't get credit in the stats, 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.160 but that's forty yards for Calvin Ridley. 0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.800 All right, coming up, we're gonna go over the highlights 0:11:40.800 --> 0:12:10.440 from yesterday. Right here on Jakes, I am move the freight. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:14.160 Move the freight. Magellan Transport. Vote's coolest office space in Jacksonville. 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:17.320 Apply at Magellanlogistics dot com. We're in a pretty cool 0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:20.840 office space for jags Am. We're at Henbury Mana. I'm 0:12:20.840 --> 0:12:24.040 told to announce it like that by Brian Sexson in 0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:26.560 the English countryside, and it is beautiful. And I didn't 0:12:26.600 --> 0:12:31.080 know that I enjoyed press conferences in greenhouses as much 0:12:31.080 --> 0:12:33.960 as I do until we had one last week at 0:12:33.960 --> 0:12:36.440 our at the Grove, And now I believe we're going 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.840 to be doing that here as well. There's a lovely 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.200 greenhouse behind us, and that should be our new environment. 0:12:40.880 --> 0:12:42.320 It's all greenhouse, no breaks. 0:12:43.679 --> 0:12:46.920 This is the site of a sixteenth century manner. I 0:12:46.920 --> 0:12:49.400 mean it goes us back a long way and it's 0:12:49.440 --> 0:12:52.559 passed through some hands over time, and now Marriott uses 0:12:52.600 --> 0:12:55.160 it as a as a resort property, but there's some 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:55.640 history here. 0:12:55.640 --> 0:12:57.120 I think we're gonna get a little tour later. And 0:12:57.120 --> 0:12:58.679 I think I like the greenhouse so much because it 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:01.520 feels like Jacksonville Weatherns because it's facing Hunt here and 0:13:01.600 --> 0:13:03.480 I'm like, oh, it's like we're at home, so it 0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.440 feels very homey. Let's go over some of the highlights 0:13:05.440 --> 0:13:08.240 from yesterday because it was a good one. So let's 0:13:08.280 --> 0:13:10.360 start out with that fourth down conversion. Brian, you talked 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.800 about that leading into Calvin and it was that drive 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:15.640 as a hole because it really felt like you know, 0:13:15.720 --> 0:13:17.600 nothing was really going for either team at that point, 0:13:17.640 --> 0:13:19.800 and it was tense, and then that kind of just 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:21.319 set up and it was like, Okay, now we can 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:22.640 move on from this touchdown guy. 0:13:22.679 --> 0:13:24.480 It was a play that this team hadn't made the 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:26.520 last couple of weeks, right, I mean, they had tried 0:13:26.559 --> 0:13:29.080 and there was no connection and there was no surprise 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:31.480 to me John that the target was Christian Kirk. And 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.000 Kirk talked about it. We heard him earlier say, you know, 0:13:34.080 --> 0:13:36.280 settled at eight yards and he was right where the 0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:39.040 quarterback knew he was going to be, and Trevor just 0:13:39.760 --> 0:13:42.600 trusted it. We've heard the word trust a lot about 0:13:42.600 --> 0:13:44.520 this football team, but we hadn't seen it. Yeah. 0:13:44.640 --> 0:13:47.200 I thought there were a number of plays and I 0:13:47.200 --> 0:13:48.800 really didn't get a chance to talk to Christian about 0:13:48.840 --> 0:13:53.440 it later, but it felt like Trevor sort of went back, Okay, 0:13:53.679 --> 0:13:55.920 we're struggling a little bit, we're not quite as consistent 0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.080 as we want to be. I trust this guy. I 0:13:59.120 --> 0:14:01.080 know where he's going to be on plays. And there 0:14:01.160 --> 0:14:04.480 was some moments where on third and big if you will, Yeah, 0:14:04.720 --> 0:14:06.679 he just said, you know, I've worked with this guy 0:14:06.720 --> 0:14:08.760 along and anybody else in the field right now, Evan 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:14.160 Ingram Yep obviously, but that felt a little bit like 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:16.079 twenty twenty one. I mean, not twenty twenty two. I 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:18.040 mean didn't fel like twenty twenty one. Bright I do 0:14:18.320 --> 0:14:18.880 ever feel that. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:20.520 Again, that would not be good. 0:14:21.400 --> 0:14:23.320 We talked a ton about the defense already, but I 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:25.280 don't know if we touched a ton on the turnovers, 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.480 the interceptions. Back to back we're huge, and that just 0:14:28.520 --> 0:14:30.760 really set the tone after kind of that breath of 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.040 fresh air of the touchdown, and then the defense really 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.320 just kind of took over at that point. To see 0:14:35.360 --> 0:14:39.040 Darius Williams and then also we gave and Andre Cisco 0:14:39.160 --> 0:14:40.640 a little bit of something because you know, he didn't 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:42.680 return his pick six and then fumbled it a little bit. 0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:44.960 Darius was saying the press conference. They talked to him 0:14:45.000 --> 0:14:47.760 about ball security after that, but still, just to see 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:49.520 that back to back really kind of change the temple 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:50.240 going into half. 0:14:50.120 --> 0:14:51.640 Well, it reminded me. I'm sure it did. You of 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:55.840 the the Jaguars went over the Bills here in twenty fifteen. 0:14:56.200 --> 0:14:58.400 They had back to back plays just like that. One 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.320 was a pick six, one set up touchdown there. That's 0:15:01.320 --> 0:15:03.000 when I felt like, Okay, they've got this one. 0:15:03.680 --> 0:15:07.160 Yeah, I did too, except in the second half I 0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:09.200 kept thinking, this one feels like it's getting away. 0:15:09.240 --> 0:15:09.880 But I'm with you. 0:15:10.960 --> 0:15:14.640 Look, this is what the Jags defense is. We're twenty 0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.360 one games, or twenty one regular season games into Mike 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:22.480 Caldwell's ten years coordinator. People and fans love to talk 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:24.760 about what the Jaguars defense Isn't We heard that all 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:28.240 off season. It's a turnover creating defense. It was fourth 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.320 in the NFL and creating takeaways last year. In three 0:15:32.320 --> 0:15:36.720 of four games they've had three turnovers forced. I guess 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:38.760 it's time to stop thinking it's a fluke. I mean, 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:43.160 this defense forces turnovers, and when they do, they're good. 0:15:43.960 --> 0:15:47.160 We talked John, you just said that third quarter kind 0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.240 of when things were a little iffy there, that touchdown 0:15:49.280 --> 0:15:51.840 where Ritter found London and the touchdown to kind of 0:15:51.880 --> 0:15:53.680 start things off in the second half, and that's when 0:15:53.680 --> 0:15:55.520 you were like, I think that's when I learned a 0:15:55.520 --> 0:15:58.040 lot about the team. I'll say, is that response to 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:00.280 that right? Because we've seen things going off the rails 0:16:00.280 --> 0:16:02.240 the last couple of weeks when things like that happened, 0:16:02.400 --> 0:16:05.040 and the quick response to it whether No, it wasn't 0:16:05.040 --> 0:16:07.560 a touchdown necessarily right away, but the field goals kind 0:16:07.560 --> 0:16:10.320 of consistently holding the ball. That spoke a lot to 0:16:10.320 --> 0:16:12.120 me in terms of how this team is mentally. 0:16:12.160 --> 0:16:13.440 Now, Yeah, it's. 0:16:15.200 --> 0:16:19.520 It's important to remember it's the NFL and Robinson's really good. 0:16:20.000 --> 0:16:22.040 So he had a huge third quarter. I think it 0:16:22.040 --> 0:16:25.600 was seventy four yards and the Jags fan in anything, 0:16:25.640 --> 0:16:28.000 So why can't they stop that guy? Well, because he's 0:16:28.000 --> 0:16:30.120 gonna be Rookie of the Year and he's he's probably 0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:31.480 gonna be the best running back in the league for 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:34.520 four or five years. That's gonna happen. I thought the 0:16:34.640 --> 0:16:37.680 mental toughness story of the game for the Jaguars was 0:16:37.680 --> 0:16:40.360 in the second half, even when the offense didn't feel 0:16:42.560 --> 0:16:45.320 like everybody expected it to feel, everybody's frustrated with it, 0:16:45.320 --> 0:16:48.160 it had two big drives where they went down and 0:16:48.200 --> 0:16:52.600 got points. I think Doug Peterson likes that this morning. 0:16:52.680 --> 0:16:54.480 I think he likes that these guys even when it 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:57.280 wasn't going right and easy. It wasn't easy, but they 0:16:57.320 --> 0:16:59.960 got it done. Something tells me that's going to be a bil. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.160 We talked last week about mismatches, about guys who were 0:17:03.160 --> 0:17:07.399 big and guys who were talented. Drake London had two catches. 0:17:07.440 --> 0:17:11.240 One was that touchdown. Kyle Pitts, what fourth pick in 0:17:11.280 --> 0:17:13.080 the draft had two catches for twenty one yards was 0:17:13.400 --> 0:17:15.800 essentially a non factor. John new Smith had a bigger 0:17:15.840 --> 0:17:18.479 day than he did obviously, and then b John Robinson 0:17:18.560 --> 0:17:20.000 was a guy you know, you could take two of 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.359 the three away, but you weren't going to take all 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:25.679 three away. But the two that they took away helped 0:17:26.119 --> 0:17:28.840 them keep the score low, right, I mean it worked 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:32.080 for them. It's a good job in covering those big receivers. 0:17:32.240 --> 0:17:35.640 It's a league of big plays and big moments. Biggest 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:38.080 moment was the fourth down when the Falcons had a 0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:40.800 chance to score and Trayvon Walker and Trey Hernon got 0:17:40.840 --> 0:17:46.159 it done. I get the fans sort of being upset 0:17:46.160 --> 0:17:48.920 that it didn't look easier yesterday, But what does it 0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:49.680 look easy. 0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:50.000 For this league? 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.520 How many times have we walked out of games where 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:55.120 the Jaguars lost that game? 0:17:56.280 --> 0:17:56.879 They won it? 0:17:56.920 --> 0:17:57.880 And I think that's important. 0:17:58.000 --> 0:18:01.000 Why it's important, just win, that's the most import and part, Hey, look, Miami, 0:18:01.040 --> 0:18:03.960 it looked easy two weeks ago, right, Seventy points yesterday 0:18:03.960 --> 0:18:07.400 they gave up almost fifty. So it just it's inconsistent. 0:18:07.480 --> 0:18:09.639 What's consistent is how hard it is to win in 0:18:09.640 --> 0:18:10.040 this game. 0:18:10.320 --> 0:18:11.840
