1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:02,680
Speaker 1: Time for a weekly conversation with pride of the Jaguars,

2
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: running back Fred Taylor. Coming off the bye week, the

3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: Jaguars rested, refreshed, and ready for the stretch run. Fred,

4
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,600
Speaker 1: are you all three of those things? I am JP,

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,079
Speaker 1: I'm ready. Man. I wish I could get out there

6
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 1: and make some magic for him. But I see they

7
00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 1: just picked up a nice back. I thought that was

8
00:00:20,920 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 1: a good find in Anderson, but the red because he's

9
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:26,960
Speaker 1: not playing. I think the rest of the team is

10
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 1: ready to focus and hopefully they can get a double.

11
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:32,800
Speaker 1: It would be nice, for sure. The Jaguars have the

12
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:35,680
Speaker 1: Ravens this week coming into town and one of the

13
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:39,280
Speaker 1: strong teams in the a f C. The Southern three

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 1: record for Baltimore and their running game is fantastic. It

15
00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: starts with a quarterback. Of course, Lamar Jackson leads away there. Fred,

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:50,520
Speaker 1: and this defense has had some issues with running style

17
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: quarterbacks earlier in the season. How do you contain Lamar Jackson?

18
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:59,000
Speaker 1: Ain't no way, ain't no way. Listen, if they had

19
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,840
Speaker 1: issue with the or the backs that they faced thus

20
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: far up until Lamar, It's gonna be trouble. It's gonna

21
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:11,119
Speaker 1: be trouble. Because Lamar is such a dynamic these an

22
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 1: amazing back I mean, they're gonna have the spy guys,

23
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:17,080
Speaker 1: but then that leads the middle of the field gulnerable.

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: I think the one way though, JP to contain them

25
00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:26,800
Speaker 1: without having to change up so much on the back

26
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 1: end is you have to be able to get pressured

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: what you're down for. You have to do a lot

28
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 1: of games, a lot of stunts, some straight rushes, you know,

29
00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: you have to push the pocket, and then you have

30
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,800
Speaker 1: to pray. You know that. I think that's the formula,

31
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: and hopefully they can, you know, create them a nice

32
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: little pot of gumbo with all of those fixings and

33
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: find the way they slow Lamar down. Pray Huh, that's uh,

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,360
Speaker 1: that's not what you want to see. The start report. Hey,

35
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: you know what, I remember shaqu Harris used to say

36
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: something like, uh, the other A team had to pray

37
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:07,400
Speaker 1: when he showed up. So it's okay, praying. Praying is good,

38
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: It's natural, right, That's the truth. Fred Taylor with us.

39
00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:13,359
Speaker 1: Now on the other side of things, Travis ct and

40
00:02:13,360 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: didn't run especially well in the week before the bye

41
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 1: week in Kansas City. Trevor had a pretty decent efficient

42
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: day offensively, So that was good to see. But hey,

43
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,880
Speaker 1: if they're gonna get something done, they're gonna probably have

44
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: to run the football. That's when they've been at their

45
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: best this season when they've run the ball. But this

46
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: Ravens defense is really stout against the run. It's a

47
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: good veteran group in the front seven for for Baltimore.

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: I guess who. They're led by a former Jaguar in

49
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:44,840
Speaker 1: kells Kempbell. Listen, JP, you ask how do you contain Lamar?

50
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: A second ago? You keep them off the field. You

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: find your best way to keep them off the field.

52
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: How do you do that? You gotta run the football,

53
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: and Travis et and is certainly capable, you know, and

54
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: we know the running game it doesn't always look sexy

55
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 1: each and every week. Some weeks you gotta just, you know,

56
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: get in there and grind it out and find a way.

57
00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:07,919
Speaker 1: And you mentioned against Casey that wasn't it the week.

58
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: Hopefully this is the bounce back week because all as

59
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:15,160
Speaker 1: good as the Ravens defense is, they also at times

60
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: that's shown to be on disciplined. They are vulnerable to

61
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: the big play. And one way to get the running

62
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: game going is to create some offensive plays in the

63
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: past game. If you have some big plays, they're gonna

64
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,200
Speaker 1: have to figure out and change that coverage, hopefully go

65
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 1: too high. And then after that then they're able to

66
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: call some run plays. But it does start with the

67
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: run game. It starts with executing the short passes, allowing

68
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: them to change their coverage and get impatient, and then

69
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,200
Speaker 1: from there then you can hit them with the big

70
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 1: ball behind. And then if you create that formula altogether,

71
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: you should be victorious. Claris Campbells in your fift team, Fred,

72
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: how's he playing? He is playing amazing. You know. The

73
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 1: question was he is a big six eight guy. You know,

74
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: Kenn he bend his knees still when he was let

75
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: go from Jacksonville, Kenny been his knees and uh, the

76
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: answer is yes, he's been getting it in ever since

77
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: he left. And he's a guy who who he takes

78
00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: care of his body, you know. And the previous collective

79
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: bargaining agreement from years ago they allowed for these guys

80
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: to if you just take care of yourself, you can

81
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 1: play a lot longer. I mean, the game has changes

82
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 1: evolved so much. It really comes down to how uh

83
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: locked in the player is and He's certainly a guy

84
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: who has always been a great leader. We know what

85
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:41,040
Speaker 1: he did with the Jaguards when he was in town,

86
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: which he's still had a few years left in him

87
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,000
Speaker 1: before they decided to let him go. But that's neither

88
00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:50,480
Speaker 1: here nor there. I think the guys up front have

89
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,600
Speaker 1: to do an amazing job with him up front. They

90
00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to get his hands down, because

91
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 1: if he stands up, he can still he's still swatting

92
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: down a lot of passes. But just a great person,

93
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 1: also a great player. Prior of the Jaguars, running back

94
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor with us, you know, Trevor Lawrence and a

95
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: bunch of guys in the locker room this week actually

96
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: on Monday and again on Wednesday, we're talking about everything

97
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 1: still out in front for this team. From the outside

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: looking in there three and seven Fred, and they're in

99
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 1: third place in the division. But as a competitor inside

100
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 1: that locker room, I guess you have to think like that,

101
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 1: right If you go on a run here and some

102
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 1: things happen and you knock off some teams and all

103
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:35,280
Speaker 1: of a sudden the Titans on the schedule twice, that's

104
00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:37,359
Speaker 1: what you have to play for. Right, and and I

105
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: think from the outside it might have surprised a lot

106
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,599
Speaker 1: of people that the Jaguars are still thinking that way.

107
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:45,520
Speaker 1: Everything is still in front for this team is ugly

108
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,880
Speaker 1: as the record is. Yeah, I mean, but if you

109
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: look at the record is ugly, that's no doubt it's ugly.

110
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 1: And we've all said the entire season no moral victories.

111
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 1: But if you look at the way the games have,

112
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 1: the results of the games in which they've lost, they

113
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,279
Speaker 1: lost by a score and it was maybe two players

114
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:07,600
Speaker 1: that determine the outcome of those games. I saw an

115
00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 1: article that said, they're not so lucky Jaguars, but it

116
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: also had a lot of other teams that have been

117
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: fortunate to to be a lot luckier than the Jaguars

118
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: have been. The Giants. You know, they're they're not a

119
00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 1: great team, but their record shows that they're a good team. Right,

120
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: They're finding a way to win. The ball is bouncing

121
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:30,880
Speaker 1: their way, and hopefully in the second half of the season,

122
00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: the ball can bounce the Jaguars way. Last year was

123
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: the first seven team game season in the NFL here

124
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. When you look at that,

125
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 1: you had teams that nine, eight making the playoffs. I mean,

126
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: you have multiple teams from multiple multiple divisions making the playoffs.

127
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: So I think the Jaguars just have to focus on themselves,

128
00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:57,160
Speaker 1: just keep turning it out if they can, if they

129
00:06:57,160 --> 00:07:01,480
Speaker 1: can squeeze out six of seven, they I think they

130
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: can find a way possibly now to get in that playoff.

131
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,560
Speaker 1: Who knows. But they have to handle what they can handle,

132
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: control what they can control, and that's inside that locker room,

133
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 1: you know, believing in each other, going out there trying

134
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 1: to execute the plays. Uh, not worried about the distractions

135
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: and the noise from the media. The media has a

136
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: job to do, and that's the critique, criticize, give credit

137
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,720
Speaker 1: when credits due. The team just have to worry about

138
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: the guys have to worry about themselves. They can do that.

139
00:07:33,440 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: They can find a way to a strange a few together.

140
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: Who knows what can happen. But by all means, you know,

141
00:07:39,920 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 1: they don't go out there to play to lose. That's

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: not happening. Uh. So they're gonna go and compete. We're

143
00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,640
Speaker 1: gonna see the end product at the end of the day.

144
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 1: And Fred, we mentioned Trevor there would help if you

145
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: didn't throw the goal on interceptions that happened a little

146
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: earlier in the season, Like he's clean that up, you know,

147
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:57,760
Speaker 1: I mean the last couple of weeks, he's been pretty

148
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:00,640
Speaker 1: efficient holding on to the football and that's cost the

149
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: Jags a couple of games earlier in the season. But

150
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 1: now moving ahead, that's in the rear view. If he

151
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: handles his business like he did the last couple of weeks,

152
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 1: and then they finish a couple more drives in, they're

153
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 1: right there. What else do you want to see from

154
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: Tripor Lawrence down the strap? You know, JP, you hit

155
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,960
Speaker 1: a lot of good points there. I want to see

156
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 1: all those things and improvement in all those categories. Obviously,

157
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 1: the decision making is number one. He's shown some good size,

158
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm good signs, he's accurate at times, the velocity is there,

159
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: and then he's a good player. He's a young player.

160
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:34,680
Speaker 1: He has to continue to grow and get better. We're

161
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: still waiting on that three year mark right where most

162
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 1: of these guys really ascend and show what they're made of.

163
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:43,920
Speaker 1: You go back look at Peyton's career. I posted something

164
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: the other day from Rookie of the Year stats. I

165
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 1: think he had twenty six touchdown, twenty eight interceptions. He's

166
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer now, So the maturation process tends

167
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: to take some time. From the quarterback position. Those guys

168
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,200
Speaker 1: don't always come in there and just hit it out

169
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 1: the park. But I also like to see to j

170
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: p at this mid season point, hopefully the coaching staff,

171
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,520
Speaker 1: Hopefully they went and took a look at themselves too.

172
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:11,199
Speaker 1: When it comes to decision making, you know that fourth

173
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,959
Speaker 1: down stuff. You gotta be careful because you can put

174
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,480
Speaker 1: yourself from critical, hurtful, harmful situations. When football still is

175
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:23,520
Speaker 1: to this day and I will to this day. What's

176
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: my boxer name? I can't think Deonte five. I can't

177
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: think of his name right now to this day. These

178
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: coaches they the game of football is still a chess match.

179
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:39,200
Speaker 1: You have to put yourself in position and think that

180
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: this is a four quarter opportunity and not hurt the players.

181
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 1: Uh and and hopefully together the players and the coaches

182
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,720
Speaker 1: can marry up where they're successful at the very end

183
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:54,320
Speaker 1: of the day. Wilder, So you're talking about de Wilder.

184
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: I don't know why why I'm thinking about Dante Fowler,

185
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 1: because I'm thinking of I'm thinking about the Gators I

186
00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:05,680
Speaker 1: don't know why, but yeah, Deante Wilder his famous line

187
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: is kid his day to his day. Baby, football is

188
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,400
Speaker 1: still a game of chess. I love it. Fred Taylor

189
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:15,400
Speaker 1: with his final thought with you here, Chad move is

190
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: going to get some more time at linebacker in place

191
00:10:18,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: of another rookie and Devin Lloyd, who was the first

192
00:10:21,440 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: round picked. They're gonna rotate and most likely see time

193
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: on the field together at some point. I mean, this is,

194
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, not ideal for Devin Lloyd, right, It's a

195
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: first round pick. He was the starter to begin the season.

196
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: The last month or so, just the places deteriorated a

197
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: little bit. But if you're Devin Lloyd, how do you

198
00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:42,120
Speaker 1: handle this mentally? I mean, you gotta compete at the

199
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: end of the day, it starts, It always goes back

200
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 1: to the route of it all, Baby, it's competing. You know.

201
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,839
Speaker 1: The coaches wanna get the best player out there, or

202
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,920
Speaker 1: at the very least they want to get the smartest

203
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,120
Speaker 1: player out there, because that player is isn't gonna hurt you.

204
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: And Devin, he's a real He's made rookie mistakes and

205
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: uh he sees things that aren't always there, and that's

206
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: the trick with the NFL defense, you know, you have

207
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,720
Speaker 1: to trust that. Uh you know, you're playing within the

208
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,920
Speaker 1: confines of the game plan and you really can't go

209
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:19,240
Speaker 1: outside of that because ten other guys on defense, they're

210
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: depending on you to do your job. So if you're undisciplined,

211
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,280
Speaker 1: it hurts the entire concept. Uh So he has to,

212
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, just buckle down. He's competitive, he's athletic. The

213
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 1: one thing he has to always be twenty four seven

214
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:37,200
Speaker 1: is discipline, especially when you want to play on a

215
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: high you know, performing defense as an NFL player. So

216
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 1: hopefully he'll figure that part out. But until then, he

217
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,320
Speaker 1: got to go out there and contribute the best way

218
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: he can. Friend, thanks for the time has always lad.

219
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:52,800
Speaker 1: You're rested and refreshed. Let's get the stretch run going

220
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: and get a dumb against the rap of this today.

221
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: I'm rested up just enough to talk a lot of

222
00:11:58,880 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: trash after we get this win. Baby,
