WEBVTT - Ep. 45: Predicting Week 12: Who Will Have a Standout Game? | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:08.119 --> 0:00:10.080 Jags are a big matchup this weekend as they head 0:00:10.080 --> 0:00:12.680 to Houston to take on the Texans. What is your guys' 0:00:12.760 --> 0:00:15.520 biggest concerns on Sunday besides CJ's route. 0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.960 Well, I'll go with eighty six Dalton Schultz, their tight end. 0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:19.799 When you watch the tape, you see that he's the 0:00:19.840 --> 0:00:23.079 safety valve, the security blanket, the guy who helps that 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.360 quarterback when things get rough and they need to extend 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:25.760 a drive. 0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:27.800 Watch out for Dalton Schultz on Saturday. 0:00:28.200 --> 0:00:32.000 A revived Texans running game which Jaguars have to stop. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.680 Welcome to jag Zam on this Wednesday before Thanksgiving. I'm 0:00:52.680 --> 0:00:55.160 tay Nannie Stevens, Brian Sexton, John Osier with me as 0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.720 we get ready for the Texans game on Sunday. It's 0:00:57.760 --> 0:00:59.360 going to be a big one for the Jaguars. We'll 0:00:59.400 --> 0:01:02.880 start out with our first big thing today, which is Texans, 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.480 not Titans. We know Jags fans like to hate on 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.760 the Titans, and that's fair. I think we all hate 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.840 on them a little bit, but the Texans may be 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.000 the team that we need to shift our focus to 0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:14.280 for the coming future of seeing how good this team 0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.240 has been able to be at as quickly as they've 0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.480 been able to do that. Doug Peterson talked a little 0:01:18.520 --> 0:01:19.960 bit earlier this week about the matchup. 0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:24.000 I mean, it's game eleven, but they're all they're always big, right, 0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:26.640 I mean, meantime you play your your division, they're all 0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:31.600 big games and and you know, obviously we understand what 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:33.720 this team did to us, you know, a few weeks back, 0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:39.840 and it's it is another you know game on the schedule, 0:01:39.840 --> 0:01:43.760 a lot of football ahead still, but you know it's big. 0:01:43.840 --> 0:01:46.200 I mean, you don't ever want to go h and 0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:51.520 two against a Division four, you know, any any year obviously, 0:01:51.640 --> 0:01:54.920 but our guys, you know, our guys will respond again, 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:56.920 you know, are just much likely did this week. 0:01:57.000 --> 0:01:57.720 It's gotta take. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.520 It's going to take a good week of prep and 0:01:59.760 --> 0:02:03.400 they're their film study and and all that, but great 0:02:03.400 --> 0:02:06.360 opportunity then as gonna be lowed. You know, they're playing 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:10.120 extremely well. We are too, and it should be a 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:10.639 good matchup. 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.280 Certainly should be a good match up. Brian, do you 0:02:13.320 --> 0:02:15.800 think this is the time that we should probably shift 0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:17.760 some of our focus in terms of what our rival 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:19.840 is in the division and maybe focus on the Texans 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:20.119 a bit. 0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:22.480 Look the numbers say it right. 0:02:22.520 --> 0:02:24.919 I mean, the Titans are there because they were here 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.280 earlier than the Texans, and they gave the Jaguars their 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:29.600 first ever loss in their first ever game. And of 0:02:29.639 --> 0:02:31.760 course no one will ever forget nineteen ninety nine. But 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:35.360 these Texans have won twelve of the last thirteen and 0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:36.799 seventeen to the last twenty. 0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:37.600 And I get it. 0:02:37.639 --> 0:02:40.560 They've had great players through the years. Andrew Johnson, JJ Watt, 0:02:40.600 --> 0:02:43.040 Arian Foster. I mean, you can name them, but you know, 0:02:43.560 --> 0:02:46.639 in the last two seasons, they haven't been as good 0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:49.359 as the Jaguars, at least not on paper. The roster's 0:02:49.400 --> 0:02:51.280 not supposed to be as good, and they have beaten 0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:55.399 them twice in Jacksonville. This to me is the natural 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:56.840 rivalry for the Jaguars. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.400 Yeah, you mentioned focus, and maybe that's what what it is, 0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:04.119 because I feel like in the last three games since 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.360 Doug Peterson and this team has been together, the Jaguars 0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:09.440 should have beaten the Texans all three times, and they 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:12.079 dusted him last year when they were focused at the 0:03:12.160 --> 0:03:12.800 end of the season. 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:15.480 They've given away two games against the Texans. 0:03:15.520 --> 0:03:19.160 Frankly, the touchdown or the interception in the end zone 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.799 last year thrown by Trevor Lawrence, and then this year, 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.799 twenty seven points went the Texans way off turnovers. I'm 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.760 gonna say it all week and people get tired of 0:03:26.760 --> 0:03:29.280 hearing me say it. Play your game and play the 0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.960 way the Jaguars can, and they win this game. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:33.760 The way the Jaguars play leads into our big thing, 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.600 number two turnovers on the menu. Jaguars defense is at 0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.280 their best when they stop the run, and they forced turnovers, 0:03:39.480 --> 0:03:41.280 and that seems like that might be out there for 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:43.839 the taking because CJ. Stroud had gone quite a long 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:46.480 streak to start the season, hit start his NFL career 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.640 without having a turnover, but he had three last week, 0:03:48.800 --> 0:03:51.880 three interceptions last week against the Cardinals. So John, when 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:53.839 you're looking at something like this, is this the game 0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:55.800 where we can kind of get to a rookie quarterback 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.120 and hopefully get some takeaways because the Jags are very 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.119 successful and they get to away is not as successful 0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:01.840 when they don't. 0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:02.400 Well it's supposed to be. 0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:04.160 I feel like it's sort of the same game as 0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:07.720 last week, except it gets a better team. The Jaguars 0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:09.360 should be able to stop. 0:04:09.080 --> 0:04:10.200 This Texans running game. 0:04:11.040 --> 0:04:13.040 It's been good last couple of weeks, meaning the Texans 0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.000 running game, but the Jaguars are the third best defense. 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:19.800 The NFL agains to run and that feels real to me. CJ. 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:22.479 Stroud throws the ball downfield a lot, and as a rookie, 0:04:22.520 --> 0:04:24.640 when you throw, when you throw the ball downfield a lot, 0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:29.599 that gives more time for interceptions. It should give more 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:31.200 time in the pocket to get to them. There was 0:04:31.200 --> 0:04:34.120 a reason there were no sacks last time, Brian. They 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:37.720 didn't allow the Jaguars much pass rush because they kept CJ. 0:04:37.800 --> 0:04:41.320 Stroud on short drops. Yeah, I think this is the 0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:42.400 game they get to Stroud. 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:43.320 It should be. 0:04:43.720 --> 0:04:47.239 This is a takeaway team and got none. The logic 0:04:47.279 --> 0:04:48.720 tells you it's going to get some on Sunday. 0:04:48.960 --> 0:04:50.760 I'll use the number that we talked about last week. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.080 And it's strange, but the Jaguars in the last twenty 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:55.359 games in which they have not forced a turnover have 0:04:55.480 --> 0:04:55.800 not won. 0:04:55.880 --> 0:04:57.680 That's twenties three losses in those games. 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:00.640 Look, this offense played better last week, put up more points, 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:03.360 look more efficient, but they're still struggling on third down 0:05:03.360 --> 0:05:05.599 and there were there's two red zone possessions in the 0:05:05.640 --> 0:05:07.599 first half, Guy where they had a chance to blow 0:05:07.640 --> 0:05:09.600 this game out of the water and have it over 0:05:09.680 --> 0:05:13.119 at halftime, and they missed. So until this offense finds 0:05:13.160 --> 0:05:15.640 the rhythm or the tempo, or however you want to 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:19.400 describe it, the defense needs to give them more possessions 0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.839 and better field position, shorter fields. That's what they've done 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.200 twenty times this year, and that's what they need to 0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:25.720 keep doing. 0:05:26.480 --> 0:05:29.240 Our final big thing today is going to be QB comparison. 0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.479 C J. Stroud has been getting a ton of love 0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:33.680 nationally rightfully, so he's having one of the best rookie 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:36.640 campaigns we've seen from a quarterback in quite some time. 0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:38.839 Tim Peterson talks about what he's seen on tape and 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:39.400 in person. 0:05:41.880 --> 0:05:45.680 I mean very impressed for a rooky quarterback to come 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:51.360 in and you know, perform at this level. The way 0:05:51.400 --> 0:05:54.920 he's thrown the ball, I just really admire his poise. 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:00.760 Quite frankly, he's putting the ball where he wants to 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:05.440 put it, meaning it's very accurate throws. You know, he's 0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:09.360 got the ability to to escape and move and still 0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:11.960 keep his eyes down the field. I think that's a 0:06:12.120 --> 0:06:15.359 that's a unique trait for a young quarterback to be 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:20.640 able to do, you know, and they're shooting the ball 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:23.400 down the field. You know, they're making making big plays 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.200 down the field. And it's just what you see is 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:31.200 it's gaining it's gaining confidence each week in him and 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.479 his team. You know, that's a that's a reflection of coach, 0:06:35.200 --> 0:06:41.440 you know, Ryan Demko, and just been really impressed with him, Brian. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.680 The Daggs are the victim of c J. Stroud and 0:06:43.720 --> 0:06:45.680 what he's been able to do in week three. How 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.799 do they not fall victim to that this time around? 0:06:47.800 --> 0:06:50.040 And how does our quarterback, now that Trevor Lawrence is 0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:51.719 kind of getting in the groove a little bit, show 0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:52.279 what he's made up. 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:55.160 Well, let me start this answer with Shakespeare's great quote 0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:55.919 about comparison. 0:06:55.960 --> 0:06:57.359 He called it the thief of joy. 0:06:57.640 --> 0:06:59.400 You spend so much time trying to see what the 0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:01.480 other guy's got, you don't focus on how good your 0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:04.080 quarterback is and vice versa. I just think this is 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:07.000 a great quarterback rivalry that we'll see in this division 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.919 and I'm really looking forward to it. As far as 0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.120 how the Jaguars attack, well, I think they do attack. 0:07:12.200 --> 0:07:14.000 They didn't have a lot of tape. It was just 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:17.560 the third start for CJ. Stroud, now we've seen how 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.600 they set up him on offense and how they use 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.520 the running game and what he does, and the Jaguars 0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.240 will try to use that against him. They'll try to 0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:28.520 be very confusing to the young quarterback and get pressure. 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.480 And I think one guy who's playing well in terms 0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.640 of putting pressure on the quarterback does still have the 0:07:32.640 --> 0:07:35.080 sacks John, But the last couple of games, Trayvon Walker 0:07:35.080 --> 0:07:37.640 has been around the quarterback and causing problems, and I 0:07:37.640 --> 0:07:39.680 think he comes into this game with an opportunity on 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:41.240 Sunday to have a big game. 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.520 If I'm only halfway in my coffee, so I'm not 0:07:43.520 --> 0:07:47.360 going to quote Shakespeare a bit. I'll quote myself by 0:07:47.400 --> 0:07:50.360 saying what I've said all week about the Jaguars. If 0:07:50.400 --> 0:07:53.440 they communicate in the back end. They gave up two 0:07:53.440 --> 0:07:56.880 touchdowns on communication against the Texans. Without those, it's a 0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:01.280 twenty three seventeen game. It's a dramatically different game. I'm 0:08:01.320 --> 0:08:04.240 telling you the Jaguars hurt themselves as much as Stroud 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:05.240 hurt them in Week three. 0:08:05.600 --> 0:08:07.200 I agree they're gonna get a little bit of pressure. 0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:08.160 I think they can get better. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.560 I think they can get better pressure with a base 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:14.160 pass rush because Trayvon Walker is playing well, but communicating 0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.040 the back end and Shakespearean theme. 0:08:16.880 --> 0:08:18.600 Or not, I think the Jaguars win the game. You know, 0:08:19.160 --> 0:08:19.680 it's interesting. 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:21.440 Also, I talked to foy luikin I know you did 0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:23.400 two in the locker room, and he talked about those 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.240 communications issues and he said they've got to work on 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:29.760 those on the practice field this week. It's not something 0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:32.040 that you can just rely on when you get into 0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:34.440 the game. They remember to talk, right, You've got to 0:08:34.600 --> 0:08:38.040 play by play, be able to communicate, and in particular 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:41.600 with Andre Cisco, because it's Cisco who is the quarterback 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:44.800 of this defense, the guy on the deep third who 0:08:44.880 --> 0:08:47.480 is going to be out there with those speed receivers 0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:50.120 Nico Williams and Tank Dell who are going to be 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:51.920 running down the field like they did here, So they're 0:08:51.920 --> 0:08:53.199 gonna have to be able to communicate. 0:08:53.640 --> 0:08:56.520 Communication is key. Stay with us here on Jagsam. We'll 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:58.000 be right back after the break as we go over 0:08:58.040 --> 0:08:59.800 who we think some of the stars of the game 0:08:59.840 --> 0:09:05.880 will be on Sunday is Welcome back to jaggs A. 0:09:06.000 --> 0:09:09.680 I'm here today get things going. For ten years, Dreamfinders' 0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:12.040 Homes has been proud to call themselves the official homebuilder 0:09:12.040 --> 0:09:14.920 of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Visit dreamfinders homes dot com for 0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:20.000 all of the available inventory and go Jaguars back here today, 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.320 we're talking Texans all day, so let's take a look 0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:24.960 at who we think might be some of the you 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.720 know Notsir's stars, but will have a big impact on 0:09:27.800 --> 0:09:31.480 the game as we look forward. I think Andre Cisco 0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:33.480 Brian so you're gonna go He's gonna have a big 0:09:33.480 --> 0:09:34.600 impact one way or another. 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:35.880 Form Why he will, he won't, he might. 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.320 I'm going with Cisco, and Cisco will be the guy 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:43.920 who determines if Jaguars get those takeaways. This quarterback will 0:09:43.960 --> 0:09:45.679 put the ball up. He did three times last week, 0:09:45.720 --> 0:09:47.520 including one of the first half, and he has four 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.400 times in the. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:49.240 Last two games. 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.520 And Cisco is that guy who early on in the 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.200 season was around almost every takeaway. Look, he got beat 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.600 last week with the miscommunication on the deep route to 0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.000 DeAndre Hopkins. And he's the guys who had to miss 0:10:00.040 --> 0:10:03.040 communication on Tank Dell's forty eight yard completion to set 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:05.840 up a touchdown back in week three. I think Cisco 0:10:05.880 --> 0:10:08.840 will turn it around and be a much more effective 0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:12.360 communicator with the front seven this week against C. J. 0:10:12.520 --> 0:10:15.000 Stroud, and that doesn't mean necessary. I don't know that 0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:16.480 he will come up with a takeaway. 0:10:16.840 --> 0:10:19.360 It doesn't always happen that way, but if he does, 0:10:19.840 --> 0:10:22.400 he's the kind of guy with the athletic ability with 0:10:22.600 --> 0:10:25.240 the vision to take a big play and take it back. 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:28.560 So maybe he grabs a pick six love. 0:10:30.000 --> 0:10:31.480 Six prediction b lock it down. 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:33.600 I hope they have a celebration ready to go. I'm 0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.360 sure they do. Probably got more than one at this point. John, 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:37.640 whom you got this week are you looking at? 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:42.600 I went with Evan Ingram. He will, I think be 0:10:42.600 --> 0:10:45.880 an important part of the game plan. It's so hard 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:50.240 in this offense to be the main guy these days 0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:54.160 because there's five different guys that they can feature. So 0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:59.319 when you say main guy, he won't necessarily have a 0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:03.280 one hundred yard game out of that focus because I 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:04.960 think that's still going to be left to Calvin. Really, 0:11:04.960 --> 0:11:06.840 I think Calvin really has a huge game on Sunday, 0:11:07.440 --> 0:11:09.880 But Evan might score his first touchdown of the season, 0:11:09.960 --> 0:11:14.400 and that I'd say it's been frustrating him, but he's 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:19.000 waiting for it. I think maybe, like the Tennessee game 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:22.560 up there last year. I think you might see Evan 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:26.080 up toward one hundred yards with a little bit more 0:11:26.160 --> 0:11:28.719 downfield than he's had so far this year. He's been 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:31.280 sort of the bailout guy a little more than he 0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:32.040 was last year. 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:33.520 I think he might be featured a little bit more 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:34.000 this week. 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:36.719 Brian, I love to see an Evan Ingram game. He 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.360 always kind of surprises you when he goes off a 0:11:39.360 --> 0:11:40.800 little bit, and that's an usually good thing for the 0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.560 offense because that means for having a good day. Well. 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:46.480 When the other team forgets about him, he's really dangerous. 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:47.960 He's very good. 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.040 When he's the focal point and when he's being guarded, 0:11:51.080 --> 0:11:54.319 but there's sometimes it's hard to always guard everybody. 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.319 Don't forget about him. 0:11:56.400 --> 0:11:59.280 He might have had a big touchdown catch last week 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:01.199 if Trevor I'd led him on that ball on the 0:12:01.240 --> 0:12:02.600 sideline instead of thrown a shore. 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.120 Where could have been? Where could have been? We'll have 0:12:06.160 --> 0:12:09.360 to find out this although he was Jay Jones this 0:12:09.440 --> 0:12:11.280 week for my pick. If he will, he won't. He might. 0:12:11.600 --> 0:12:13.719 We saw him back in action last week for the 0:12:13.720 --> 0:12:15.640 first time since he's been dealing with that injury. I 0:12:15.640 --> 0:12:19.000 think he will be a key in getting a change 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.280 here in the third down problems that this team has 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:24.439 been having. And that's just because he's in safety valve 0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:26.719 first harbor. Lawrence. Obviously we talked and saw a lot 0:12:26.760 --> 0:12:29.680 of how Calvin Ridley benefited from the return. I don't 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:32.120 think Zay Jones he won't leave the team in catches. 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:34.280 I think Calvin will still be kind of a main focus, 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.880 especially since they've got that timing down after last week 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.199 and those two touchdowns, So I think that will still 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.480 remain a focus. But he might find the end zone 0:12:41.480 --> 0:12:43.760 because if he's at dafety valve on third down and 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.160 kind of can help them get the chains moving, he 0:12:46.240 --> 0:12:47.800 might end up being in the target and the end 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:49.079 zone when they get down in the red zone and 0:12:49.120 --> 0:12:51.280 they have those third down problems as well. Brian, I 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:53.000 know you're hoping they could switch over on the third 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:53.760 down problems. 0:12:53.880 --> 0:12:55.079 Yeah, it's been a problem. 0:12:55.440 --> 0:12:57.440 Hadn't been great, all right? Say with us coming up, 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.120 we'll do a little this or that with you after 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:05.839 the break here in Ta say, price dot com is 0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:08.720 the easiest way for you to save money with comparison, shopping, 0:13:08.800 --> 0:13:11.920 cashback coupons, all of that in one it is free 0:13:12.240 --> 0:13:20.760 triveprice dot com today, this Rice dot com presenting this 0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:23.120 or that for us today is we try to compare 0:13:23.160 --> 0:13:25.240 a couple of things. See what we think might happen 0:13:25.280 --> 0:13:27.000 in the game. Brian, what are you looking at when 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:28.880 it comes to Week twelve against the text? 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:29.560 Real simple? 0:13:29.640 --> 0:13:32.160 Is it the AFC South Title game? Or is it 0:13:32.440 --> 0:13:34.480 just game eleven? 0:13:34.640 --> 0:13:35.319 Week twelve? 0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:38.240 John, what do you think? 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:43.040 I don't think it's AFC's South Title game, but I 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.400 think it might be if the Jaguars win it. And 0:13:45.400 --> 0:13:47.280 I guess what I mean by that is if the 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:50.280 Texans win, it's still tied, and everybody says, well, the 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:53.840 Jaguars schedule is so tough, the Texas schedules soft, they 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.760 would pull away. The reality is, if the Jaguars lose 0:13:56.800 --> 0:13:59.440 this game and they go five and one the rest 0:13:59.440 --> 0:14:01.800 of the season tess to go four and two, then 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.760 this game really wasn't a big deal except for seeding. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:08.120 So it's big, don't get me wrong, But I'm not 0:14:08.160 --> 0:14:12.280 sure it's the title game. If the Jaguars win it, 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:13.400 it might be because it's two games. 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:15.160 I saw an Oddsmaker series. The Jaguars win, they have 0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.000 a ninety percent chance of winning the Vision. 0:14:17.040 --> 0:14:18.120 There's a lot of ground to make up if the 0:14:18.200 --> 0:14:18.760 Jaguars win. 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.040 I think it might be more problematic if they don't win, 0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:24.080 only because of the implications of what that has going forward. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:28.160 This team, we know has had issues not bouncing back 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:30.120 because they've bounced back a well from a lot of 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:34.240 their losses. But I think sometimes when the confidence gets 0:14:34.240 --> 0:14:35.680 in there, that can be a problem for them. So 0:14:35.720 --> 0:14:37.760 that would be more my someone has your number sort 0:14:37.800 --> 0:14:40.880 of thing, younger quarterback team in the division, that would 0:14:40.880 --> 0:14:41.920 be my concern probably, But. 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:44.320 Well, I think the Texans win this, then it becomes 0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:47.640 a huge storyline when they play next year because all 0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.080 of a sudden, this is the team that has your number, 0:14:50.160 --> 0:14:53.160 so to speak. So it's important for that. I went 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:58.680 with the biggest concern, biggest position group for the Jaguars 0:14:58.760 --> 0:15:02.680 is it the secondary or the defensive line, And there 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:05.480 was so much talk after that first Houston game at 0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:08.800 the defensive line no sacks against the beat up offensive line, 0:15:08.800 --> 0:15:12.600 with the Texans have only given up eleven sacks since 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:15.200 giving up eleven in the first two games, the offensive 0:15:15.200 --> 0:15:18.120 line was not as bad as it looked in the 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:21.680 first two games, so I think the biggest, the most 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:25.120 important area of the Jaguars defense is the secondary. Darius 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.960 Williams gave up two long touchdowns in that first game. 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:30.840 He has had an outstanding season, two plays in that 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:34.160 game were probably his two worst plays of the year. 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.400 I've been saying it all week. I'm a broken record 0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.600 on it. Communicating the back end, and that game's a 0:15:39.600 --> 0:15:42.840 lot different. I think communicating in the back end, the secondary, 0:15:42.880 --> 0:15:45.680 how they play. CJ's going to take shots at you. 0:15:46.120 --> 0:15:48.080 How you pass that test will decide this game. 0:15:48.120 --> 0:15:52.240 And the Dragars might be without CJ. Tyson Campbell against CJ. Stroud. 0:15:52.480 --> 0:15:54.160 We don't know what his status is going to be. 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:57.000 I'm sure Dougall say later today, day to day, right, 0:15:57.080 --> 0:16:00.080 and he'll be listed as questionable if not out. So 0:16:00.120 --> 0:16:01.640 you're going to go with Buster Brown again, and he's 0:16:01.640 --> 0:16:04.000 played well at times this year. However, last week there 0:16:04.000 --> 0:16:06.320 were a couple of moments where they were able on 0:16:06.360 --> 0:16:09.080 the few passes they completed to make him back off 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:11.120 a little bit. On DeAndre Hopkins and Nico Collins is 0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:11.920 another big receiver. 0:16:12.280 --> 0:16:14.000 It's the secondary for me too, and it kind of 0:16:14.000 --> 0:16:16.280 stinks because I feel like even the players that have 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:18.880 gone in like Buster Brown or whoever else. They've stepped 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.440 up and they've played really well. Unfortunately, it's that one play, right, 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.280 which is the nature of the position. But when you're 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:26.800 giving up that one huge play two maybe three times, 0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.360 that's the difference in a game, and that was the 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.720 difference in some of their games, and they gave up that. 0:16:31.360 --> 0:16:33.600 Cisco gave up that long play to the Titans last week, 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:36.680 So that's a little bit concerning. So communication. Hopefully that 0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:38.240 comes together a little bit and we don't see a 0:16:38.240 --> 0:16:39.800 lot of those. And if you take away the home 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.440 run ball, then that kind of takes away a lot 0:16:41.440 --> 0:16:43.520 of the Texans game, So that'll be good. I went 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:46.040 with offense for mine of who we think might be 0:16:46.160 --> 0:16:49.200 a breakout star breakout Day saw Trevor Lawrence kind of 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:51.920 get going two touchdowns on the ground, two touchdowns throwing 0:16:52.000 --> 0:16:55.680 last week. But Eatn has been the mainstay in this 0:16:55.760 --> 0:16:58.000 offense throughout the year. So who do we think might 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.960 have a bigger day on Sunday? John, Who are you 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:02.960 looking at that might do a little bit better on offense? 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:04.720 Well, it's hard. 0:17:05.400 --> 0:17:09.440 I love Etn and this isn't really him. It's hard 0:17:09.440 --> 0:17:12.080 to pick him to have a breakout day because they 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:15.240 have struggled so much for consistency in the running game, 0:17:16.640 --> 0:17:19.000 because the offensive line just hasn't blasted out very many holes. 0:17:19.240 --> 0:17:21.359 So if I'm gonna pick a breakout day, I'm always 0:17:21.400 --> 0:17:23.200 gonna pick Trevor in this because he has a better 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:26.719 chance to do it. If ETN has a breakout day, 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:27.560 they win the game. 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.360 I'll take Travis. He had a sixty two yard touchdown run. 0:17:30.400 --> 0:17:33.040 I think it was sixty two yards in Houston last year. 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:35.920 The game, it was early, the Didjagwars blew them out, 0:17:36.000 --> 0:17:38.880 but it was a statement play and I think he's 0:17:38.920 --> 0:17:42.080 capable of delivering that. Also, the offensive line played better 0:17:42.160 --> 0:17:47.960 last week. I would expect Walker little inside to continue 0:17:48.000 --> 0:17:50.479 to get better playing a position that he's never really played. 0:17:50.920 --> 0:17:54.320 And I don't think that this defensive line, although they're okay, 0:17:54.680 --> 0:17:56.639 you know, Sheldon Rankins, got to get underneath you and 0:17:57.160 --> 0:17:59.480 fill some gaps. I think they should be able to 0:17:59.560 --> 0:18:02.600 find some holes in this defensive line and be able 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:03.160 to run the ball. 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:04.480
