WEBVTT - Ep. 46: Hot Takes After Week 12 Win Over Texans | Jags A.M. Podcast 0:00:02.520 --> 0:00:05.320 Jags get a big win in Houston yesterday winding their 0:00:05.360 --> 0:00:07.600 lead in the AFC South. What was the most impressive 0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:09.400 part of the win yesterday? Do you guys on. 0:00:09.440 --> 0:00:13.920 Battle Red Day in Houston, down fourteen thirteen, going right 0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:14.680 down the field. 0:00:14.480 --> 0:00:15.880 To take a lead they wouldn't relinquish. 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:18.680 It was in great response to the Texans trying to 0:00:18.680 --> 0:00:19.520 grab momentum. 0:00:19.640 --> 0:00:22.000 Yeah, this kind of plays into that the will and 0:00:22.040 --> 0:00:35.839 the resilience of the Jaguars. 0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.960 Welcome into Jags Am presented by Carshield and Cannannie Stevens, 0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:47.199 Brian Sexton, and John Oser with me today as we 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.080 recap one of the biggest games of the year for 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:50.519 the Jaguars. We knew it was gonna be a big 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:53.040 one going into it. But our first big thing of 0:00:53.080 --> 0:00:56.040 the day is Cardiac Cats because they made it dramatic. 0:00:56.080 --> 0:00:58.520 Went right down to the final play of this game 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.680 and a miss field goal was the difference as the 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:02.840 Jaguars is not out of Houston with a win and 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.520 a big game for the team this year. Don Peterson 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:06.479 talked about it after the game. 0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.640 I mean, it's game eleven, but they're all they're always big, right, 0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.360 I mean, meantime you play your your division. They're all 0:01:13.400 --> 0:01:18.280 big games and and you know, obviously we understand what 0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.680 this team did to us, you know, a few weeks back. 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:20.640 And. 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:26.520 It's it is another you know, a game on the schedule, 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:27.920 a lot of football ahead still, but. 0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:30.440 You know it's big. 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.920 I mean, you don't ever want to go oh and 0:01:32.959 --> 0:01:38.200 two against a division fo you know, any any year obviously, 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:41.600 But our guys, you know, our guys will respond again, 0:01:41.840 --> 0:01:43.880 you know, are just much likely did this week. It's 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:46.120 gotta take. It's gonna take a good week of prep 0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:49.000 and and their their film study and and all of that, 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.800 but great opportunity. Jodan's gonna be loud. You know, they're 0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:56.360 playing extremely well. We are too, and it should be. 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:57.360 It should be a good matchup. 0:01:59.200 --> 0:02:01.320 Brian, we talked ear this week about how this game 0:02:01.400 --> 0:02:04.240 might have huge implications on the AFC South, almost an 0:02:04.240 --> 0:02:07.160 AFC South title game early in the year. But they'll 0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:07.840 live up to the billing. 0:02:07.840 --> 0:02:12.040 To you, what's the right way to say this, it's 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:13.079 all but over right. 0:02:13.120 --> 0:02:16.000 I mean, there are games left to play, and there 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:16.800 are six games left. 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:18.640 To play, so there's a lot of football left. Anything 0:02:18.680 --> 0:02:19.239 could happen. 0:02:19.520 --> 0:02:22.400 But the Jaguars now have a commanding two game lead 0:02:22.480 --> 0:02:26.400 with six to play. They still have the ability to 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:31.040 have a big home game, two big home games right 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:35.000 against AFC Powers. There's a lot of opportunity for this 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:38.840 team to just steamroll their way to the division title. 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.799 It won't be easy, but it feels like they wrapped 0:02:41.800 --> 0:02:43.080 it up yesterday. 0:02:43.200 --> 0:02:46.040 Yeah, And I think Doug and anybody with experience and 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:49.959 the team would tell you it's over as long as 0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:53.640 they do what they need to do. Meaning if you 0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:56.440 limp down the stretch and go one and five, you're 0:02:56.480 --> 0:02:59.160 not going anywhere anyway. So I guess the point is 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:03.120 that they set themselves. I was up to concentrate on 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:06.919 the number one seed, the number two seed and think 0:03:06.960 --> 0:03:09.480 about those kind of things. You don't ignore the division, 0:03:09.760 --> 0:03:13.280 But now you can, as Trevor said, if they do 0:03:13.440 --> 0:03:15.919 what they're supposed to do, they don't have to worry 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.560 about that. And boy, what a difference from last year. 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:18.839 Right. 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:20.880 It's nice to be in the front and not have 0:03:21.000 --> 0:03:23.000 to try to win every game in a row to 0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:25.000 win the division. So it's a good spot to be 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:26.760 at at this point in the year. 's like a 0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.440 big thing today is gonna be zeroed in. Calvin Ridley 0:03:29.480 --> 0:03:31.960 had a huge game against the Titans, two touchdowns here 0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.640 at EverBank Stadium, and he had a really big second 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:37.360 half yesterday. And he talked a little bit postgame about 0:03:37.400 --> 0:03:39.520 how while he had to drop early on in the game, 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.520 he didn't let himself get out of it all. 0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.160 I'm gonna bounce that every time. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:44.560 I'm not. 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.480 I'm mad about it, but I'm not that mad about it. 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:52.000 People everything, it was just like, I make that. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.200 But I'm not dead mad. I'm not out of the game. 0:03:53.600 --> 0:03:55.000 You know, I'm saying, I'm not out of the game. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:56.800 I'm ready to make continue to make plays. 0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.920 I want to don't stop throwing at the ball. 0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:01.040 You know what I'm saying. 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.160 I'm ready, but i want to make that play. But 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.120 I'm never out of the game. I may look like 0:04:06.160 --> 0:04:06.920 I am, but I'm not. 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:09.400 I'm ready to to you to make plays. So what 0:04:09.480 --> 0:04:09.800 it is. 0:04:11.720 --> 0:04:13.760 Calvin says, he's never out of the game. John We 0:04:13.800 --> 0:04:15.600 certainly saw that in the second half, as he was 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:17.880 a crucial part to this kind of comeback, if you 0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:20.240 will a little bit in the second half and the win. 0:04:20.520 --> 0:04:24.000 Well, he was the go to guy, and even when 0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.320 he wasn't producing, receiving, numbers on this team this year, 0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.560 what is it eleven games in He's always been the 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:35.200 hardest guy to cover on this team. For the defensive backs, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:39.000 I think it's twelve penalties. Now he's drawing eleven when 0:04:39.040 --> 0:04:42.440 they needed it. Yesterday he came up big. I had 0:04:42.440 --> 0:04:45.240 some fans. Oh, he had to drop in the first half. Look, 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:50.160 the NFL's hard. You don't catch everything. He has mattered 0:04:50.200 --> 0:04:52.640 a great deal. I think this was again, you can 0:04:52.640 --> 0:04:54.720 count four or five games this year now, Brian, I'm 0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:57.320 not sure they win three or four games if he's 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:58.760 not on the field. I'm not sure they win yesterday 0:04:58.760 --> 0:04:59.400 if he's not in the field. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.159 The last two weeks, he really has looked John like 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.920 the number one receiver, a guy who can take over 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.840 the game. And it's important to remember that when he 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.240 first got to Atlanta, that was Julio Jones. 0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:10.560 He was the accouterment. 0:05:11.000 --> 0:05:13.440 This is the first time in his career where he's 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:16.919 the legitimate alpha receiver. And if you combine that with 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.240 the fact that it takes time to develop chemistry with 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:20.040 the quarterback. 0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:21.560 Right now we are. 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:24.760 Just starting to see the Calvin Ridley, the Trent Balkey 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.440 and Doug Riederson Peterson thought they were going to get 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.120 when they made the trade last year. I mean, he 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:34.200 ran the same route on the touchdown as on the 0:05:34.240 --> 0:05:35.120 two point conversion. 0:05:35.120 --> 0:05:36.800 How many guys could get away with that, right? 0:05:37.080 --> 0:05:39.720 He is tremendous and I think he's got so much 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:40.680 upside left. 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:42.200 I can't wait to see what he does in the 0:05:42.240 --> 0:05:43.279 ring six games of the year. 0:05:43.920 --> 0:05:45.600 Our final big thing this week is on the other 0:05:45.640 --> 0:05:47.840 side of the ball. Pay the man. It's about Josh Allen. 0:05:47.880 --> 0:05:50.440 He's in a contract year and he's been earning every 0:05:50.480 --> 0:05:52.839 penny with his play so far this season. Two huge 0:05:52.880 --> 0:05:57.359 sacks on that last play, that last possession for the Texans, 0:05:57.680 --> 0:05:59.480 and Trevor Lawrence talked a little bit about the play 0:05:59.520 --> 0:06:00.600 of Josh Allen yesterday. 0:06:01.839 --> 0:06:03.680 They did a great job offensively of being able to 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.400 do that and extend plays. But then you know, our 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:06.960 pass rush really stepped up at the end of the 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:08.120 game and got some huge sacks. 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.160 I mean you look at both those plays. 0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:12.320 To keep them, you know, and almost made it, but 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:13.760 to keep them out a field goal range and make 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:16.640 that a fifty eight to fifty nine yarder, that's huge. 0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.720 You know, if you let him get some yards there 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:20.839 and they're kicking a fifty yarder. That's a big difference. 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.960 So I mean that won us the game, and our 0:06:23.000 --> 0:06:23.919 defense really stepped up. 0:06:23.920 --> 0:06:27.480 One of them saw the kick go off the crossbar, 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:30.240 so it certainly was all the difference. Those sacks definitely 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:32.880 played a role in that. Brian, we don't tell the 0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.560 GM what to do very often, but pay the man. 0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:36.560 Seems like Josh needs to be paid well. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.599 And look, Josh Allen in Detroit in August came into 0:06:39.600 --> 0:06:42.479 one of our preseason production meetings and said he was 0:06:42.520 --> 0:06:46.680 betting on himself to finish this year, to finish the play, 0:06:47.080 --> 0:06:49.800 and he did yesterday. He finished the game with his 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.560 strongest performance of this season. You know, we can focus 0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.640 on that because he and trayvond we're just wrecking that 0:06:55.720 --> 0:06:59.560 offensive front and creating havoc. But John, the pass rush 0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:02.480 over all old yesterday, led by Josh Allen, it got 0:07:02.520 --> 0:07:05.200 to the quarterback. It didn't do Week three, Roy Robertson 0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:07.720 Harris was getting pressure up the middle. You saw ninety 0:07:07.800 --> 0:07:10.840 one and ninety five and ninety four. They were also 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.920 making him move his feet. It was a strong performance 0:07:15.200 --> 0:07:17.800 by the Jaguars pass rush in a game that they 0:07:17.840 --> 0:07:20.160 needed it led by Josh Allen, who now has a 0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:21.200 career high twelve sacks. 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.640 Yeah, and it shows you how different the game is now. Brian. 0:07:26.000 --> 0:07:30.440 If you had said twenty years ago, somebody throws for whatever. 0:07:30.480 --> 0:07:33.080 C J. Stroud threw four over three hundred two touchdowns, 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:34.920 you said, oh, they didn't get any pass rush. Oh 0:07:34.960 --> 0:07:37.360 what a terrible defensive game. Well you can have a 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:39.800 good defensive game now and a guy still have those 0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:43.400 kind of numbers. They did affect CJ. Stroud. They got 0:07:43.400 --> 0:07:45.760 to him in big moments. I always talk about breaking 0:07:45.840 --> 0:07:48.920 serve on defense in this day and age. It felt 0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.720 to me like they affected him enough that it kept 0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:53.520 them in control of the game. And I know the numbers, 0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.239 and there were certain plays that didn't show that against 0:07:56.280 --> 0:07:57.680 a guy like c. J. Strodd, you're not going to 0:07:57.720 --> 0:08:00.480 stop every play very often. They effect to him when 0:08:00.480 --> 0:08:02.400 it mattered, and they had big stops at the end 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.160 of the game and any game events is those plays mattered. 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:09.000 And good for Josh Allen. I mean, it's how hard 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.320 he's worked, how much he's wanted it, how close he's 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.320 been to see it all come to fruition, and it's 0:08:13.320 --> 0:08:13.720 pretty cool. 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:14.560 I think it's important. 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.680 You mentioned that it's tough the way that the league 0:08:17.720 --> 0:08:20.560 is set up these days, and the Jaguars saw Tank 0:08:20.640 --> 0:08:22.800 Dell get them for a couple of plays and then 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:25.320 they clamp down on him, and he finished with five 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:28.040 catches for fifty yards. He did have the touchdown, So 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.080 all of a sudden, Nico Collins becomes the guy and 0:08:30.080 --> 0:08:32.720 then the Jaguars lean towards him. And then there's Xavier Henderson, 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:37.040 the rookie from Iowa State. This quarterback Stroud, within the 0:08:37.040 --> 0:08:39.199 context of the way that the rules are set up, 0:08:39.800 --> 0:08:42.400 is a really gifted quarterback and a guy that can 0:08:42.440 --> 0:08:44.640 make a lot of different throws. The Jaguars came up 0:08:44.679 --> 0:08:47.080 with the plays John when they needed to. You're not 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.520 going to keep the numbers from these quarterbacks. That's just 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.520 not the way the rules are written these days. They 0:08:51.600 --> 0:08:54.280 want to see they being the league and they want 0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:57.200 to see these quarterbacks putting the ball up and down 0:08:57.240 --> 0:08:59.719 the field. It's just about your defense breaking serve to 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.640 where three times in the second half of the Jags 0:09:01.640 --> 0:09:01.960 did that. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:04.440 There's a lot of good plays on both sides of 0:09:04.520 --> 0:09:06.839 the football. Yesterday. Coming up after the break, we will 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:13.600 go over all of the highlights for you from Jaguars Texans. 0:09:17.120 --> 0:09:20.640 Move the Freight, Move the Freight, Move the Freight.

It's nice to have a 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.360 lot of highlights to go over. I'm sure some people 0:09:38.360 --> 0:09:41.360 didn't like the drama of the game, but made for 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:42.040 interesting viewing. 0:09:42.120 --> 0:09:43.760 What makes it the number one sport in America? 0:09:44.000 --> 0:09:44.360 Sure is? 0:09:44.520 --> 0:09:46.319 So it's good. And let's start out with Trevor's first 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.760 touchdown of the day, as he you know, we saw 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:52.920 him set it up and then he hasn't been great 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.160 on the kind of quarterback sneaks that we've seen from him. 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.000 At least they look a little more stressful than they 0:09:58.000 --> 0:09:59.920 should be. John, I think I was sitting next to 0:09:59.920 --> 0:10:01.400 you and I was like, this is like the most 0:10:01.440 --> 0:10:03.080 stressful quarterback sneak I've seen. 0:10:03.160 --> 0:10:05.120 But I'm sure you didn't like the one handed reach 0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:05.640 with the ball. 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.160 I mean, well, he does it get away with it 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.680 some times It'll bite him at some point. Look, I 0:10:10.679 --> 0:10:13.680 get a lot of questions about why don't they quarterbacks 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.400 sneak want we're not good at it, and it's not 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:21.880 necessarily trever. They are not a mammoth the terrifically strong 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:25.600 interior line that gets a lot of push, and you know, 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:29.200 they haven't been that so far, so it's hard for 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:31.480 them to quarterback sneak. So that makes these situations difficult. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.599 The thing that put my heart in my throat. You 0:10:33.640 --> 0:10:36.920 see how quickly his arm is rocketed backwards. Yes, I 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.800 was like, oh, you know, he got it over the line, 0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.959 But look how quickly that one goes backwards. You're right, John, 0:10:42.120 --> 0:10:43.720 it's a dangerous way to play the game. 0:10:44.400 --> 0:10:47.120 Hopefully they'll figure out they need that tush push at 0:10:47.160 --> 0:10:47.440 some point. 0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:47.680 Together. 0:10:47.880 --> 0:10:49.480 They've got to figure out how to ram it in 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:52.040 from a yard out without risking the ball. 0:10:52.640 --> 0:10:54.560 Well, maybe we can get Tank to come around. 0:10:54.800 --> 0:10:57.400 One six yard carry one And I thought, there you go, boy, 0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.920 because I had made him my hot take last week 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.360 and I thought, all right, you're on. 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.360 And then he didn't see the ball again. 0:11:03.480 --> 0:11:05.840 I just well, Travis was out of the game at 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.000 that point, and so they went a little deeper in 0:11:08.120 --> 0:11:08.960 running back rotation. 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:11.760 So he had had a six yard rush. 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:13.959 I mean, I still think you're going to see him. 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.200 He's going to be a solution to a problem at 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:17.040 some point this year. 0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:19.120 Okay, I was happy to see Deernest in there as well. 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.640 Let's go to Stroud's touchdown to Tank Dell. So we 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:23.400 were worried about this a little bit, just because we 0:11:23.440 --> 0:11:25.640 know the propensity for the big play for the Texans 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:28.360 and just that scrambling ability. And as much as we 0:11:28.400 --> 0:11:31.400 talked about miscommunication in the backfield, it's really hard when 0:11:31.440 --> 0:11:35.600 you're expecting your DB's to cover somebody for seven, eight, nine, 0:11:35.679 --> 0:11:38.080 ten seconds. And that's a lot of what c J. Stroud. 0:11:38.120 --> 0:11:40.600 I didn't realize as much until we watched this game yesterday. 0:11:40.600 --> 0:11:42.920 That's a lot of what he does. His scrambling ability 0:11:43.080 --> 0:11:45.760 gives him so much time that his receivers find a 0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.160 way to get open, and that's where a lot of 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:48.280 those big plays come from. 0:11:48.280 --> 0:11:51.160 Well, this was an this was an evolution to his game. Ky. 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.080 We didn't see it in the first game that he 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:55.160 ran around and made plays on the run. It's something 0:11:55.600 --> 0:11:57.960 that he clearly is capable of doing it with that 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:03.319 receiver Dell, Who's revolt. What a tremendous rookie season he's having. 0:12:03.520 --> 0:12:04.680 He's so hard to cover. 0:12:04.840 --> 0:12:07.760 John. Maybe there's a receiver you recall like him, but 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:08.880 he looks different to me. 0:12:09.280 --> 0:12:13.080 Yeah, he's hard to cover. And I got some pushback 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.800 from fans, Oh why the only rush three here? Well, look, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.800 they brought a lot of pressure. I don't think overall 0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:23.880 yesterday they could have pressured him any better. They know 0:12:24.040 --> 0:12:26.120 he plays this way. If you watch them rush the 0:12:26.160 --> 0:12:28.280 past or Brian and Kuy there were a lot of 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.439 times where they were staying in their lanes. They were 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:33.400 trying to contain even on that play, instead of going 0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:37.720 after him. They were sort of playing, you know, angle 0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:39.839 defense if you I'm not putting it. I'm not putting 0:12:39.840 --> 0:12:41.320 that very well. But they were trying to stay in 0:12:41.400 --> 0:12:45.839 lanes and contain him a little bit. Look, if the 0:12:45.880 --> 0:12:49.240 blitz worked every time, everybody would do it every play. 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:53.480 You can't do it every play. On that play, it 0:12:53.600 --> 0:12:56.360 got him because they made a play against the good team. 0:12:56.400 --> 0:12:57.040 That's gonna happen. 0:12:57.040 --> 0:12:59.280 Sometimes when you drop eight like that against your rookie quarterback, 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.520 you're betting that you can force him to make a 0:13:01.520 --> 0:13:03.880 throw that he doesn't necessarily want to, and it could 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.160 become a turnover, a takeaway. 0:13:05.920 --> 0:13:06.600 It didn't happen. 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:10.120 That was a great throw, dangerous throw back across your 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.480 body into traffic, but Dell slid away from Rayshawn Jenkins 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:16.040 and it was a good throw by c J. 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:16.439 Straw. 0:13:16.440 --> 0:13:18.880 But you're gonna drop eight against quarterbacks. That's another thing 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:20.400 they do in this league is try to try to 0:13:20.400 --> 0:13:22.480 create some confusion and give them a different look and 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:23.679 see if you can create turnovers. 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.959 And if you surprise them with the blitz every time, 0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.200 guess what happens. You know it's a surprise war. So 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:32.400 you can pick a part that play. But I thought 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:35.959 the defensive plan yesterday against an ascending quarterback was very good. 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.000 We'll go to the waning seconds of the first half 0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:42.000 because the Texans missed a field goal and the Jaguars 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.480 got the ball back with a little over thirty seconds 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:47.280 I think at that point, and then they got a 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:48.800 huge play at a Christian Kirk. I think they were 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.480 just trying to get into field goal territory. They almost 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.760 got a touchdown on this play and then they chose 0:13:52.800 --> 0:13:54.680 to go for it. And I talked to I wrote 0:13:54.679 --> 0:13:56.040 it a little bit about it. I talked to John 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.080 about it too. I wasn't surprised Doug wanted to go 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.800 for it. They didn't get it, and I think that's 0:14:00.840 --> 0:14:03.720 where you know, Doug always likes to go for it, 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:05.600 and then you know, when you don't get it, they criticize. 0:14:05.640 --> 0:14:07.920 When you get it, you look really smart. So I 0:14:08.000 --> 0:14:09.599 wasn't against it, and I think it was smart. And 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:11.080 I think when you look at the end of the game, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.840 you see what sometimes the conservative gets you. 0:14:14.080 --> 0:14:16.840 Well, look, Doug, he said right after the game, but 0:14:17.120 --> 0:14:19.560 I'm going to go forward again. You know, this play 0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.120 didn't work, so by default is a bad play. But 0:14:24.000 --> 0:14:25.960 I would rather see the ball go forward than back, 0:14:26.000 --> 0:14:27.560 and it has to go back to the six yard 0:14:27.560 --> 0:14:29.440 line to get into the end zone. I mean, this 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.280 is where I think the Jaguars need to focus on 0:14:32.440 --> 0:14:34.720 finding a way to get a yard or two going 0:14:34.760 --> 0:14:35.440 forward when. 0:14:35.280 --> 0:14:35.720 They want it. 0:14:35.840 --> 0:14:38.440 Well, they don't trust the interior on that play. And 0:14:38.480 --> 0:14:40.680 I'm not trying to bash that, no, it's just it's 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:46.000 so far in eleven games that play pushing forward has 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.480 not developed trust to be used in this situation. A 0:14:49.560 --> 0:14:52.080 lot of feedback in the ozone about it. You know, 0:14:53.000 --> 0:14:56.600 dumb call kick the field goal, take the points. Look, 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:02.320 if you don't like that approach, don't watch the Jaguars 0:15:02.320 --> 0:15:07.400 an because it's going to be him. So I got 0:15:07.520 --> 0:15:12.040 an email last night saying, I am so tired of 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:14.440 watching this team give up field goals they ought to 0:15:14.480 --> 0:15:17.320 be kicking. And our responsors are you tired of being 0:15:17.360 --> 0:15:17.960 in first place? 0:15:18.000 --> 0:15:18.400 Winning? 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:24.120 Because that's the trade off. Doug believes that the long 0:15:24.200 --> 0:15:28.080 and short term benefits of aggression in that situation far 0:15:28.160 --> 0:15:35.040 out weigh the occasional short term risk negative whatever it is. 0:15:35.800 --> 0:15:38.480 He believed right there he could end the game and 0:15:38.640 --> 0:15:41.480 it didn't happen, but he believes overall, if he does 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:44.560 that ten times and ends the game six times, that's 0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.360 more of a benefit that you can make up for 0:15:47.400 --> 0:15:51.200 it if you miss it, but it's a kill shot 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.040 if you hit it. 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:55.320 It may not happen this year, but I would love 0:15:55.360 --> 0:15:57.600 to see them figure out a way to run the 0:15:57.640 --> 0:16:01.080 ball in from the one yard line. But again, I 0:16:01.120 --> 0:16:02.680 mean they're not the Eagles, right, I mean, if the 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:04.040 Eagles get the ball in the one yard line, is 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.040 there any doubt they're scoring? No, Because no one has 0:16:06.040 --> 0:16:08.200 figured out how to stop that. And with a six 0:16:08.200 --> 0:16:11.880 foot six quarterback, it isn't the same dynamic. I totally 0:16:11.920 --> 0:16:13.920 get that, but I think I'm speaking for a lot 0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:16.360 of people when I say figure out a way to 0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:18.840 get the yard when you need the yard. 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:20.600 I'd like to say it too. But I also don't 0:16:20.760 --> 0:16:24.240 think you need to be silly and continue to drive 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.280 your head against the wallace NYE. 0:16:25.480 --> 0:16:27.880 Right, No, no, no, I'm talking long term, because again, if 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.360 they're up twenty seven, twenty to seven there, I'm not 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.400 saying that the Texans can't mount a comeback, but I'm 0:16:32.400 --> 0:16:34.120 saying the Jaguars are a lot more aggressive in the 0:16:34.160 --> 0:16:37.960 second half on defense. I just I think that that's 0:16:38.000 --> 0:16:41.240 that next step you go to instead of walking off 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:44.640 the field, you walk off twenty to seven and you say, hey, 0:16:45.000 --> 0:16:46.240 now we're really coming after you. 0:16:46.240 --> 0:16:47.640 And you're getting the ball back after the gap. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.040 Absolutely, Dougast said at time and again the last couple 0:16:50.040 --> 0:16:52.040 of weeks, we haven't done anything yet, right, right, They're 0:16:52.080 --> 0:16:53.960 still evolving into who they're going to be as a 0:16:53.960 --> 0:16:56.040 football team. That's just one of those things on the 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.880 to do list that they've got to figure out. 0:16:58.280 --> 0:16:59.920 All right, we're gonna jump to the second half. Now. 0:17:00.520 --> 0:17:03.000 That questionable call on Evan we're gonna skip over that 0:17:03.640 --> 0:17:06.000 the holding call that just ended up being a pick 0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:08.639 that led to this touchdown from CJ. Stroud where we 0:17:08.640 --> 0:17:10.800 saw him kind of rushing in which we didn't see 0:17:10.840 --> 0:17:13.800 him running a whole lot was more scrambling to throw. 0:17:14.440 --> 0:17:19.679 But it's just he's dynamic in a way, and obviously 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:21.359 the national media talks about him all the time. But 0:17:21.480 --> 0:17:23.320 he's different than the first time we saw him, because 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:25.040
