1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,240 Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan is back in the building this week to 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: call this game for CBS Sports. Its great to talk 3 00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,119 Speaker 1: to you again. It's just been a week or two. 4 00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,600 Speaker 1: How are you, JP. It's good to see you and 5 00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: talk with you and looking forward to a good game here. Yeah. 6 00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:17,599 Speaker 1: So the Jaguars haven't had a full good game in 7 00:00:17,640 --> 00:00:20,239 Speaker 1: a while. They've had pieces of good games, they haven't 8 00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:23,760 Speaker 1: been able to finish those good outings in key moments. 9 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: And last week it was gold to ghost situation again 10 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:29,760 Speaker 1: to a couple of weeks back, it was against the Texans. 11 00:00:29,880 --> 00:00:34,120 Speaker 1: Trevor throws one against Houston and the end zone inexplicably, 12 00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:36,400 Speaker 1: and then he does it again in London last week 13 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:39,159 Speaker 1: on a first and gold play rolling right and instead 14 00:00:39,200 --> 00:00:41,800 Speaker 1: of throwing it I don't even know if London had 15 00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 1: popcorn vendors, but instead of throwing it to that guy, 16 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: he throws it to Justin Simmons instead on the goal line. 17 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:51,000 Speaker 1: You just gotta keep fighting through these things, and at 18 00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:54,520 Speaker 1: some point, as Bucky Brooks said this week, when the 19 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: kid touches the stovetop, you'll realize, oh wait a minute, 20 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,000 Speaker 1: it's hot, and that's how you learn. Yeah. So the 21 00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,120 Speaker 1: last time I was with the Jaguars, was in Indianapolis 22 00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:06,840 Speaker 1: a few weeks ago when they I thought played a 23 00:01:06,840 --> 00:01:09,640 Speaker 1: pretty good game until the end when the touchdown from 24 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:12,720 Speaker 1: Matt Ryan to to Alec Pierce. But I remember talking 25 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:16,120 Speaker 1: with Trevor and the big buzz words that week were 26 00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: don't make a bad mistake, worse, make edit in completion 27 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: instead of an interception. And clearly he's still learning that. 28 00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,880 Speaker 1: As we saw in London with the fish and chip vendors, 29 00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:32,680 Speaker 1: we can use that can't wait instead of popcorn um 30 00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's just part of it. You know. 31 00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,040 Speaker 1: Last week I was with the Detroit Lions and they 32 00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: have a lot of talent, but as Dan Campbell, their 33 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: head coach, told us, these guys just don't know how 34 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: to win. They haven't won, and he said that Bill 35 00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 1: Parcels used to tell him, you know how you win 36 00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:52,280 Speaker 1: close games by winning close games. There's no secret formula 37 00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,240 Speaker 1: and you just have to kind of go through some 38 00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: stages like this where you're not gonna be able to 39 00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:00,960 Speaker 1: get it done until you do get it done. And 40 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,560 Speaker 1: that's what we're all waiting for with the Jaguars. The 41 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:05,800 Speaker 1: Jacks are doing good things on offense. They're top ten 42 00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,959 Speaker 1: offensive group. So between the twenties, yeah, okay, they're they're 43 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: moving the ball pretty well. Travis etn broke out had 44 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,120 Speaker 1: a great game last week. Of course, on the grant 45 00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: was not broke out. He's had four streat weeks over 46 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 1: hundred scrimmage jars, but a great rushing day. But that 47 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:23,480 Speaker 1: red zone and gold of ghost stuff has has got 48 00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 1: to cap it off each time. So there are some 49 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,919 Speaker 1: positive things. So Trevor is great. Between the twenties, they're 50 00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,600 Speaker 1: running the ball. Okay, that's a that's a good start. 51 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:33,680 Speaker 1: At least not every team has that. Yeah. I think 52 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:36,720 Speaker 1: you look at Zack Wilson in New York and he 53 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,480 Speaker 1: is just turning the ball over at an alarming rate. Uh, 54 00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: kind of playing that same style he did in college, 55 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,560 Speaker 1: and it's costing him. I don't think Trevor is to 56 00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:51,520 Speaker 1: that point. I don't think that he's making egregious interception throws. Yes, 57 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: the one by the goal line that hurts, but it 58 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: means it seems like there's one of those a game, 59 00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:59,720 Speaker 1: maybe not four like Zack Wilson's making. So I think 60 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:02,960 Speaker 1: that is encouraging. I think Evan Ingram is playing well 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: and he's in a good groove here where he's got 62 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 1: at least four catches in each of his last four games. 63 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,920 Speaker 1: E T. N is a budding star. Uh, there's a 64 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,519 Speaker 1: lot to like, and I think this offense will put 65 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,200 Speaker 1: it together. I believe in the plan that Doug Peterson 66 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,200 Speaker 1: is laid out. In the meantime, I get it because 67 00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I've been in Jacksonville a lot over the last ten years. 68 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: It's very frustrating to have to go through this again, 69 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 1: and I totally understand that. Andrew Catalan with a CBS Sports. 70 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,480 Speaker 1: The defense has been pretty good in some of the metrics. 71 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: You know, their middle of the pack overall, but they 72 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,839 Speaker 1: have some issues down around the goal line as well 73 00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,680 Speaker 1: on the red zone. And you know, they can play 74 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 1: a pretty good game and then when it matters in 75 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,000 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, more than once this year, they've given 76 00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: up a big throw or a big moment in a game, 77 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: they can't make a play and it costs them a game. 78 00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 1: The Jaguars have lost multiple fourth quarterly this year and 79 00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 1: the defense is the issue with that. So you know, 80 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,080 Speaker 1: it feels like the other teams will take the whole 81 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,520 Speaker 1: game to figure it out and then, oh wait a minute, 82 00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,160 Speaker 1: fourth quarter we can finally hit this guy over the 83 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:16,480 Speaker 1: top against ex cornerback, right, Um, somehow you gotta patch 84 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:18,440 Speaker 1: that up in the fourth quarter. Yeah, I saw that 85 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:21,839 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis firsthand. Looked like they were in a good 86 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:24,880 Speaker 1: spot there late and then the Colts with that last drive. 87 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 1: And you know, Denver going three for three in the 88 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: red zone was a problem because the Broncos are not 89 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,560 Speaker 1: a good red zone team. So it does seem like 90 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,240 Speaker 1: there's just one thing off. I think some of that 91 00:04:37,279 --> 00:04:40,720 Speaker 1: goes back to youth and not knowing how to close 92 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: out games. I think that's easier said and done than done. 93 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,640 Speaker 1: I am really encouraged by the play of Tyson Campbell. 94 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 1: I think he's been fantastic. I think that's a really 95 00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,080 Speaker 1: good sign for Jacksonville. But again, yeah, there's like a 96 00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: loose end here or there, and it's all adding up 97 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:02,039 Speaker 1: to uh to losses and and that's what they're trying 98 00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: to correct. Andrew, when the Jaguars were two and one, 99 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,640 Speaker 1: they had just beaten the l A Chargers, and I 100 00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:10,120 Speaker 1: think I predicted on one of our radio shows. I 101 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: guess half jokingly, but either way, I said it that 102 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: the Jaguars would sweep the A f C West. Well, 103 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: that prediction is down the drain. Since the Denver Broncos 104 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,280 Speaker 1: got it done last week, the Raiders are coming in 105 00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:23,919 Speaker 1: now though they're two and five. They started over, but 106 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:27,039 Speaker 1: now two and two cents. They got shut out last 107 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,840 Speaker 1: week in New Orleans and Superdome. What's up with the 108 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:33,159 Speaker 1: shutout last week? First of all, is this Raiders team 109 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:34,880 Speaker 1: better than that? And how do they get off the 110 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: map this week? You can make the case that the 111 00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:40,720 Speaker 1: Raiders performance last week in New Orleans was the worst 112 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: game any team in the NFL has played this year. 113 00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it was that bad. And there was some 114 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:50,200 Speaker 1: momentum too, because you know, they had played really well 115 00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:52,679 Speaker 1: and Arrowhead against the Chiefs just came up a little 116 00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:56,320 Speaker 1: bit short and had a bye week blew out the Texans. Uh, 117 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,159 Speaker 1: they were feeling pretty good against the Saints team that 118 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 1: hasn't done much and they completely laid an egg. Now, 119 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:05,200 Speaker 1: the interesting thing with them this week is they've been 120 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,760 Speaker 1: training down in I. M. G and sarah Sota, So 121 00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 1: maybe some team bonding, maybe getting away from home and 122 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 1: families will kind of galvanize them a little bit. Um. 123 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,320 Speaker 1: If you're a Jaguars fan, you're hoping that's not the case. 124 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:21,880 Speaker 1: But I think they're gonna come out with a bit 125 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: of a chip on their shoulder because there wasn't one 126 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,480 Speaker 1: player that played well in that game for the Raiders 127 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200 Speaker 1: last week, and the head coach took the responsibility for 128 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 1: an apologize to the fans. And they got a lot 129 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,560 Speaker 1: to play for here against Jacksonville. So I'd expect to 130 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,080 Speaker 1: see a better Raiders team than we saw a week ago, 131 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,000 Speaker 1: you know, and when you put out a performance like 132 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:44,360 Speaker 1: that the next week, a lot of times you go 133 00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,240 Speaker 1: back to what you've been doing the best, what's the 134 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:51,520 Speaker 1: easiest route to success, and that for them, at least 135 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: as of blade has been running the football was Josh Jacobs. 136 00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:56,320 Speaker 1: You might see a healthy dose of him. Jaguar has 137 00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:58,839 Speaker 1: been pretty good against the run this year overall, except 138 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:01,719 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia, but the most part. But Jacobs is a 139 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,080 Speaker 1: real deal. He was on a little run there before 140 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:07,039 Speaker 1: last week's game. Two. Yeah, he's been running the ball great, 141 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 1: He runs the ball hard. Uh, he does not get tired, 142 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: it appears, And you're right. The Jacks have played some 143 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,840 Speaker 1: pretty good run defense for the most part this year, 144 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,520 Speaker 1: so that'll be a big matchup. And I also expect 145 00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 1: them to get Davante Adams is involved. He only had 146 00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: one catch last week in New Orleans. That's not why 147 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: they brought that guy in there. He's in there to 148 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,080 Speaker 1: get seven to ten catches, and I think him and 149 00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:35,360 Speaker 1: maybe Darren Waller coming back if he's healthy. They are 150 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,080 Speaker 1: a talented team. I mean, they scored twenty nine points 151 00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 1: in Kansas City. Not that the Chiefs have a great defense, 152 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: but you know they can score points. The big surprise 153 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,160 Speaker 1: to me has been on the defensive side, where Chandler 154 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: Jones has done nothing. He's got a half a sack. 155 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,200 Speaker 1: Obviously Max Crosby's leading the way, but I think you 156 00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: want to make sure if you're Jacksonville, that this is 157 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: the game that Chandler Jones does not wake up. Of course, 158 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:00,560 Speaker 1: this is the middle of the tour of the a 159 00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: f C West. The Jaguars visit Arrowhead next week in 160 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs Okay Andrew Candalo with a CBS 161 00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: Sports a f C South Power rankings entering week number nine, 162 00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:14,360 Speaker 1: go well, you know, look, Tennessee's got to be at 163 00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,920 Speaker 1: the top. I saw them a couple of weeks ago 164 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,320 Speaker 1: against the Colts. Somehow they find ways to win, right, 165 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: I mean, it's almost the opposite. They don't look good 166 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,920 Speaker 1: on paper and then they figure out a way in 167 00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,120 Speaker 1: the end to get it done. And credit to them, 168 00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:30,200 Speaker 1: Mike Rabel has done a heck of a job. To me, 169 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 1: the Colts are one of the biggest surprises in the NFL. 170 00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 1: I really thought they were gonna be a talented playoff team. 171 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,080 Speaker 1: They don't look that way right now. I'm shocked they 172 00:08:40,160 --> 00:08:43,120 Speaker 1: bench Matt Ryan. Just shocked. I mean the way that 173 00:08:43,559 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 1: they talked to us about him, the coach and even 174 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,319 Speaker 1: the owner saying how much he respects him as a leader. 175 00:08:50,559 --> 00:08:53,400 Speaker 1: I can't believe they benched him. Um. Their offensive line 176 00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:57,240 Speaker 1: hasn't been good to me, that's the bigger problem. So 177 00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,880 Speaker 1: that's a team in disarray right now. They fired their 178 00:08:59,880 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: off pensive coordinator this week. You know, I think the Jaguars, uh, 179 00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:06,040 Speaker 1: if they can put a couple of wins together, have 180 00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:08,040 Speaker 1: a chance to get ahead of the Colts in my 181 00:09:08,160 --> 00:09:11,000 Speaker 1: quote unquote power rankings, and then I would put the 182 00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: Texans at the bottom. All right, Andrews, great to see again, Jags, 183 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,200 Speaker 1: Raiders coming up and have a great call. We'll see 184 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,480 Speaker 1: you this weekend. Thanks pal. Looking forward to it,
