WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 122 | Biggest Takeaways From Week 14 Win Over Titans 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.840 Welcome into jag Zam. I'm kind DOWNI Stephens, Brian Sexton, 0:00:19.920 --> 0:00:22.760 and John Osier are with me on Victory Monday. It's 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.040 been a while since we've gotten to say that for 0:00:24.079 --> 0:00:26.400 the Jaguars, as they've had that losing skid, but they 0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:28.440 finally got a win, and they got a win over 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:30.680 the Titans this week. So let's start out with our 0:00:30.680 --> 0:00:33.640 big things. Big thing Number one is finally at the 0:00:33.680 --> 0:00:35.559 beginning of that game was not pretty. It wasn't good 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:37.680 football to watch, but the win is a win. 0:00:39.159 --> 0:00:40.800 I mean, I know it's really hard to win in 0:00:40.840 --> 0:00:42.680 the NFL, and I've learned that the hard way, and 0:00:43.720 --> 0:00:45.960 I've always, you know, followed that mantra of just the 0:00:46.000 --> 0:00:48.159 win's a win, and you can play really well and 0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.040 lose and play not so good and win, and it 0:00:50.159 --> 0:00:52.040 just takes that from one or two plays each game. 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.440 So I told the young guys that that's the learning 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.560 lesson here. And I feel like we played with a 0:00:56.600 --> 0:00:59.280 little bit more slag today and I know we're gonna 0:00:59.280 --> 0:01:01.680 continue to do that offense, even special teams. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:02.960 We're not gonna be scared. 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:04.320 So we're just gonna keep that going. 0:01:06.080 --> 0:01:08.560 Frans doesn't essentially change the outlook of the season. But 0:01:08.640 --> 0:01:10.800 it is nice to win, and it's nice to recap 0:01:10.880 --> 0:01:11.440 after a win. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.080 Yeah, it's nice to have a little juice in the building, right. 0:01:14.120 --> 0:01:16.119 I mean it's not the same energy as if you're 0:01:16.120 --> 0:01:19.160 playing meaningful games that all have significance in the standings, 0:01:19.680 --> 0:01:22.360 But everybody comes in with a little bit less anxiety, 0:01:22.440 --> 0:01:25.440 with a little bit more energy. For John and I 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:27.240 for you in the locker room to talk to a 0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.520 guy who's got the little brighter eyes and isn't so 0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.640 quick to want to walk away because he didn't want 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.280 to talk about what happened last week. All of this 0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.800 gives them, I think enough energy and momentum. You have 0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:41.640 the Jets, the Raiders, the Titans, and the Colts. Now, 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.200 the Colts are a team that is playing into the 0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:46.959 final few weeks with a shot. They're on the fringe 0:01:47.000 --> 0:01:49.560 of being a playoff team. But you should be able 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:53.080 to if you're properly motivated and energized, go play your 0:01:53.080 --> 0:01:55.320 best football on Sunday against the Jets and see if 0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:56.320 you can build a little something. 0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:56.600 John. 0:01:56.640 --> 0:01:59.560 That's what a win means when you get one, especially 0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:02.000 at the end like they did yesterday, where they had 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:02.640 to win it in. 0:02:02.640 --> 0:02:03.360 The fourth quarter. 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:04.800 Yeah, a couple of thoughts. 0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.480 First off, we know Mac Jones has guts because he 0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:12.399 can pull off that outfit and it was absolutely Hey, 0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:13.520 all hail Mac. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:17.799 What you realize or what I realized in the locker room. 0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:21.000 It's easy to forget when you're analyzing what's going wrong, 0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.440 and when you're in the middle of a disappointing season 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.600 and you and I, Brian Kai, we start thinking. We 0:02:26.639 --> 0:02:28.799 started thinking about the long term and what it means. 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:32.280 It's easy to forget that these guys are players and 0:02:32.320 --> 0:02:36.919 they want to win. And the joy for Tank Bigsby, 0:02:38.480 --> 0:02:40.800 for Josh Allen Doug talked about it. 0:02:41.480 --> 0:02:43.760 That's real stuff. I get that'll. 0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.760 Win after you're eliminated in a way, it doesn't feel 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:49.440 like a win, but for a day, you know, let 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:50.400 him enjoy good for that. 0:02:51.400 --> 0:02:53.200 Our big thing. Number two is worse. 0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:53.520 Now. 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:55.880 I mentioned that was not a great football game to watch. 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:57.880 There was not a lot of good fundamentals out there. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:00.960 But Daguar's not good. Titans are and it's always good 0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:01.600 to beat the Titans. 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:06.040 This is a robbery game, you know, this is a 0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:09.960 rib game, you know what I mean? So like, hopefully 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.640 I don't. I don't know if they told him that 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:14.720 before the game, but I know our message before the 0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:16.919 game was this is a robbery game, so where way 0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.280 you need to feel to get that energy, to get 0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:22.160 that aggression up, that the type of game was gonna be. 0:03:22.200 --> 0:03:24.400 And you could tell there was that type of energy. 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:26.960 John only got a cameo from me in the back there. 0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.320 I know you heard it live. It's a little different 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.200 when you play the Titans, even in a season like this. 0:03:31.680 --> 0:03:34.440 Yeah, and for it's for clarification, I was a little 0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:39.040 mad because Josh was wearing my I got it back 0:03:39.080 --> 0:03:44.080 after the game. I had on the team fights. All's good. Yeah, 0:03:44.200 --> 0:03:48.280 And again with Josh it was I think the theme 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:52.880 in the locker room was just that that he had. 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.680 I think the best quote, and I'm paraphrasing, it's good 0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.240 to feel this way, because I didn't want to feel 0:03:57.280 --> 0:03:59.080 sad anymore, and I. 0:03:58.960 --> 0:03:59.760 Thought that really some. 0:04:00.680 --> 0:04:04.760 To be honest with you, I don't think anything that 0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:10.320 happened yesterday will be remembered in the long run. I'm 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:14.360 not sure that they built toward that much, and I'm 0:04:14.360 --> 0:04:16.200 not sure that a lot of the guys playing will 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:17.800 be you know, I don't know what the future is, 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:21.839 but they got that win. And I do think for 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.039 some of these young guys, getting a couple down the 0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.880 stretch matters because he got to feel it. And I 0:04:26.880 --> 0:04:28.600 know fans have heard that before, but I think it's 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:29.239 still true. 0:04:29.600 --> 0:04:32.880 I would agree completely that those guys Brian Thomas Junior, Tank, 0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:37.200 big speed, Brenton Strange, we can keep going. The roster 0:04:37.279 --> 0:04:39.159 has a lot of young players that need to feel 0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:43.000 the success. I say the Jaguars were supposed to be 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:44.919 better than the Titans this year. We expected that they 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.480 would be better than the Titans this year. Will Levis 0:04:47.720 --> 0:04:50.360 in his first full season as the starting quarterback. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:50.679 There. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.520 You know, they changed from Derrick Henry. They did have 0:04:53.600 --> 0:04:57.360 a very good defensive front. But the Jaguars, other than 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:00.120 the early going where they couldn't stop the run, the 0:05:00.160 --> 0:05:03.240 Jaguars were able to, sort of outside of their own mistakes, 0:05:03.279 --> 0:05:05.440 got to dictate the pace of action. They didn't let 0:05:05.480 --> 0:05:07.520 the Titans get away from them, and when they had 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:10.240 to turn it on, absolutely had no other choice. They 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.760 went down the field twice in the fourth quarter to 0:05:12.800 --> 0:05:15.160 win the ball game. I can tell you this, the 0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:18.120 people in Tennessee this morning are wondering what's up, where 0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.919 they're at, where they're headed. You know, the Jaguars know 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.320 they're going to get Trevor Lawrence back next year and 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.960 at least have their quarterback in place. I think Tennessee's 0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.800 got some more work to. 0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.800 Do there, Brian, you touched on some of this. We'll 0:05:30.839 --> 0:05:32.560 do our final big thing, which is good enough. They 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.240 didn't play great, obviously, but they were good enough to 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.600 get a win. And we did see certain players shining 0:05:37.640 --> 0:05:39.960 and certain players playing well, whether it was Brian Thomas 0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:42.719 Junior or Tank Bigsby Brian, there were several different players 0:05:42.720 --> 0:05:44.680 that we saw kind of come into their own when 0:05:44.720 --> 0:05:45.200 they need to. 0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:48.479 Brian Thomas Junior is a guy that you can't throw 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:50.520 the ball to enough, and I know that's been a 0:05:50.560 --> 0:05:53.760 storyline for weeks. And Doug Peterson said in his postgame 0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.479 with Bucky Brooks and the radio yesterday that they made 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.960 the decision at halftime that they were really going to 0:05:58.960 --> 0:06:01.800 force it. The question why didn't you do that in 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.200 the first half? Of course, Doug joked about that, and 0:06:04.240 --> 0:06:07.839 there are circumstances and situations that prevent that from happening. 0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:10.880 But the more success that Brian Thomas Junior has the 0:06:10.960 --> 0:06:13.279 more success tank. Biggsby is going to have that Brenton 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.400 Strange is going to have. When you have that one 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.000 guy John who opens everything up, then Mack has many, 0:06:19.160 --> 0:06:22.359 many more options. It'll help the offensive line play better 0:06:22.560 --> 0:06:25.040 when the ball is getting out quickly, going down the field, 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:27.800 stretching things, and of course when the offense is able 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:31.880 to sustain a drive. The defense you noticed yesterday almost 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:33.839 split time of possession for the first time in a 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.720 long time. Everything is better when those young players are 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:37.440 having success. 0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.680 Yeah, I think they tried to get the ball to 0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:40.840 BTJ early. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:42.280 I think that was one of the ones that Matt 0:06:42.320 --> 0:06:44.960 got picked on, and then they didn't have a ball 0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.440 frankly a whole lot in second quarter. So it's the 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:50.040 old thing where it's hard to get the ball when 0:06:50.040 --> 0:06:51.440 you're not in the flow and their team has the 0:06:51.440 --> 0:06:54.279 ball all the time. I thought along these same lines, 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:59.040 Jaron Jones, if you're looking for guys who are starting 0:06:59.080 --> 0:07:03.280 to show that they can be something to build around, they. 0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:04.120 Don't win that game. 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:06.560 If he doesn't play the way he did in the 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.320 second half, two pass breakups, the sack, He looked like 0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:17.960 an edge rusher, there's something about him. Ventre Miller, guys 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:22.160 like that who play with a passion that it's hard 0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:24.520 to not see them being the building blocks of this 0:07:24.600 --> 0:07:25.200 thing going forward. 0:07:25.320 --> 0:07:26.760 Yeah, and the young defensive tackles too. 0:07:26.800 --> 0:07:28.600 Of me, Mason Smith has played a lot the last 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:30.640 two weeks and he's been reached a couple of times. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:33.720 But I also saw him yesterday moving guys in the pocket, 0:07:33.760 --> 0:07:36.520 which is something they desperately need. The presence in the middle. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.000 There's a lot of young players to be excited about. 0:07:39.120 --> 0:07:40.559 Yesterday was good for all of them. 0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:43.160 Absolutely, stay with's here on jag zonn We're going to 0:07:43.200 --> 0:07:56.120 go over the tape on Victory Monday.

We 0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.240 get to look at some tape from yesterday and they 0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.760 got to win, so that's always good. I will say 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.040 the first half of that football game was not something 0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:22.720 that was enjoyable to watch, probably for anybody. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:22.840 At that point. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:25.600 That was just bad football. But we're gonna start there 0:08:25.640 --> 0:08:27.880 so that we know what was good in the second half. 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.720 So Mac Jones had two interceptions in that first half, 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.320 I mean the Titans and score tons, So it wasn't 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.600 a huge thing, but obviously never want to see interceptions there. 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:40.440 He's trying to force the ball at that point, and 0:08:40.960 --> 0:08:43.000 I was a little concerned that we were. 0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.360 Going to happy. 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.040 Yeah, I mean they're trying to force the ball deep 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.800 there and Mac is standing in the pocket. I thought 0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:51.360 he should have gotten rid of it about a second 0:08:51.400 --> 0:08:54.000 before he did. He took a shot just as he 0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.360 was releasing it, and I'd have to go back and 0:08:56.400 --> 0:08:58.520 ask him about it, but it seemed to me like 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.160 if you got rid of it just a little more 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:04.000 decisively right there, he hits Brian a thirty yard line 0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.600 and Brian has a chance to get to the outside. 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:07.280 Yeah, it wasn't a great throw. 0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.640 It looked like Brian might have stopped short a little bit. 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.800 I have no idea that might yeah, And I think 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:18.680 it was also third down, so there was a little 0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:21.400 bit of a throw it up and make something happen, 0:09:21.520 --> 0:09:25.600 or you know, you don't lose that much field position. Look, 0:09:25.760 --> 0:09:28.800 it's it's uh, it's not gonna be a great offense, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:34.959 so we should And I think Max's point that he 0:09:35.040 --> 0:09:37.920 made on the podium was very interesting. When I asked him, 0:09:37.960 --> 0:09:39.400 he told me his great question, by the way, which 0:09:39.400 --> 0:09:41.280 I meant, were you the great question? 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:42.400 Excellent? 0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:48.320 Was? Was I the great question? But he said that 0:09:48.440 --> 0:09:50.760 in the first couple of games that he played, he 0:09:50.800 --> 0:09:53.760 had bad first half and he let it affect him. Uh, 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:55.640 he said he went around and told everybody, Hey, that's 0:09:55.679 --> 0:09:58.600 not happening today. So credit to him because he wasn't 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.160 great in the first half, and he was a lot 0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:00.840 better than the second. 0:10:01.160 --> 0:10:03.040 Let's talk a little bit about that second interception and 0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:04.840 then that play right before the end of the half, 0:10:04.880 --> 0:10:08.040 because they were trying to score before the half. And 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.679 then you're looking at this, it's kind of scrambling around. 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:15.080 His feet are caught up, and obviously I've not ever 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.360 been in that situation. I'm sure it's very difficult to 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:18.839 make a decision, But you're like, no. 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:22.719 Why I was hoping Brian that his decision would be 0:10:22.800 --> 0:10:25.679 to lose six yards right, so we could see Cam 0:10:25.720 --> 0:10:28.240 a little go for sixty seven, you would have put him. 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:28.680 Out there for sure. 0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:32.920 That almost happened. Yeah, and I'm kidding, but I ended 0:10:33.000 --> 0:10:34.120 up point now with Cam, we're at. 0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:34.720 The end of halves. 0:10:35.280 --> 0:10:37.920 When they get around that fifty, I'm kind of hoping 0:10:37.960 --> 0:10:39.720 the measurement works out to saying he can hit it. 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:41.320 It's easy to say that you'd like him just to 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:44.200 understand the circumstance and go down and not throw the 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.200 ball up like that. But do you have any doubt 0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:48.240 that Patrick Mahomes would have made that throw as well? 0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:50.280 I mean, he does it all the time. The difference 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:53.240 is he's throwing it to Travis. 0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:54.920 Kelsey, who's catching it? Yeah, who's catching it there? 0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:57.160 But then with the one second on the clock as well, 0:10:57.200 --> 0:10:59.520 because that led to this play which if you guys 0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:02.760 watch call football on Saturday, it looks very reminiscent of 0:11:02.760 --> 0:11:06.640 what happened to George's quarterback at halftime of their game, 0:11:06.880 --> 0:11:09.440 which he got lit up as Josh Heinelan, who talked 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.400 about this after the game, said, Oh, no one's gonna 0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.160 chip me. I'm just I can just run and this 0:11:14.320 --> 0:11:14.920 was the result. 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.280 Josh's line was funny there too. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:17.680 He goes. 0:11:18.400 --> 0:11:20.240 He was saying, I guess they trusted. 0:11:19.960 --> 0:11:23.719 Boy, Yeah, you know, and he trusted his line and 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:24.440 didn't expect it. 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.199 This is where you think that sometimes some of these 0:11:27.200 --> 0:11:28.400 young coaches think it's Madden. 0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.400 Hey we got a second left, let's throw it up. 0:11:31.280 --> 0:11:35.040 And throwing it up you put your quarterback into why not. Yes, 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:36.640 you don't do this. 0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.120 You're just you're taken me and you go into halftime, 0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:41.600 you're leading three to nothing. 0:11:41.640 --> 0:11:44.160 You regrow up and try to get better. That's not 0:11:44.200 --> 0:11:45.199 a video game coach. 0:11:45.720 --> 0:11:47.800 So will Ovis is playing with an ac joint sprain. 0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.480 He's been playing with that and I'm sure that did 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:51.920 not help. But he did come back and play in 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:54.280 the second half of this game, and when we saw 0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.200 the defense kind of turned up a little bit. Obviously, 0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.760 I'm sure Josh Seck juice them up. But Darrin Jones, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.880 we talked about John has a pass breakup and then 0:12:02.600 --> 0:12:05.760 his sack as well, excuse me, his flit sack as well. 0:12:06.559 --> 0:12:07.040 He had a day. 0:12:07.040 --> 0:12:07.760 He was all over the place. 0:12:07.920 --> 0:12:11.880 Yeah, and again, some guys are football players, right and 0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:16.880 puts themselves in position to make plays breaks on the ball. 0:12:17.760 --> 0:12:20.959 He says something interesting in the post game. After about 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.520 week four or five, he started to get used to 0:12:22.520 --> 0:12:27.000 the pace of the game. And when that happens, now 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.120 you can let your instincts take over. That's a huge sack. 0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:32.760 It gets them the ball back. And then he comes back 0:12:32.800 --> 0:12:35.960 and he has two pass breakupup two pass breakups in 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.720 the fourth quarter. He was out there having fun playing 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.040 in the backyard and that's always fun. And he's a 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.640 guy that can do that. And Doug mats after the 0:12:45.640 --> 0:12:48.640 game he got down, he had some bend on that 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:49.599 pass rush. 0:12:49.920 --> 0:12:51.040 Maybe he's the third pass rush. 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:54.800 He's one of those guys along with Inn trel Miller. 0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:57.120 We talked about him, all those young guys. But he's 0:12:57.160 --> 0:12:59.720 a guy with a lot of potential to be that 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:01.920 guy in the middle of that, to be the nickel 0:13:01.960 --> 0:13:04.240 guy next year. I mean, he's strong, he can blitz, 0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:06.960 he can play the run, and more than that, he's tough. 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:09.320 He's willing to put his nose in there and mix 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:11.360 it up. We saw that with Trevor. 0:13:11.520 --> 0:13:14.400 Yeah, and as might be expected with a young corner. Hey, 0:13:14.440 --> 0:13:16.600 could he play outside? I have no doubt he could 0:13:16.640 --> 0:13:20.800 play outside. But nickel in this league now is really 0:13:20.840 --> 0:13:25.760 a starting position, and it's a position where it's really 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:28.960 hard to find guys who are aware enough of everything 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:32.920 going on around him. To me, that blitz and the 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:36.439 maybe shows you that he needs to be the nickel 0:13:36.600 --> 0:13:39.320 and not worry so much about, you know, should he 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:42.160 have the glamour of playing on the outside. He feels 0:13:42.160 --> 0:13:44.440 like a nickel back to me, and that's a compliment absolutely. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:45.960 Let's talk about two of those other guys we've been 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.760 talking about, Brian Thomas Jr. And Tank, because they kind 0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:51.160 of led to that one scoring drive that the Jaguars 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.319 has one touchdown drive that they had this broken down play. 0:13:54.480 --> 0:13:56.120 Mac Jones said, maybe I should have thrown it earlier, 0:13:56.160 --> 0:13:57.760 but it all worked out in the end. And Brian 0:13:57.800 --> 0:14:00.200 Thomas Jor just showing this was after they've been kind 0:14:00.200 --> 0:14:01.800 of force feeding him the ball in the second half, 0:14:01.800 --> 0:14:04.280 really got him going and he's just a difference maker 0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:05.200 when he had the ball in his hands. 0:14:05.240 --> 0:14:06.240 Well, that goes to what John was. 0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.720 You're saying, this is not going to be a good 0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:10.959 offense the rest of the way. They're gonna have to 0:14:10.960 --> 0:14:13.679 ham an egge it a little bit and play backyard football, 0:14:13.679 --> 0:14:16.000 And that's exactly what this is, and it shows you 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:19.320 the instincts of Thomas to be available for his quarterback. 0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:21.080 And Max's not a guy that gets out of the 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.520 pocket a lot, so he was waiting for the opportunity. 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:28.840 Yeah, sometimes it's not about scheme or play calling. It 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:32.360 was funny Mac after the game sort of chastised himself, 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.920 I should have out the pocket, your boy. Gene Fournett 0:14:36.240 --> 0:14:38.720 correctly pointed out that him leaving the pocket was what 0:14:38.800 --> 0:14:41.560 drew Ard and Key in, so they really didn't have 0:14:41.680 --> 0:14:43.600 that much of an idea what was going on. And 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.880 that's okay because they made plays in the moment, and 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:51.480 a credit to him and credit BTJ again for being 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:52.920 aware enough to make that play happen. 0:14:53.080 --> 0:14:54.800 Also, as much as we talk about BTJ, it really 0:14:54.840 --> 0:14:57.320 opens things up for Tank. Whenever Tank plays well and scores, 0:14:57.600 --> 0:15:00.400 the team seems to win. So that's a nice combination. 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.120 We can get the running game going, get Tank going 0:15:02.240 --> 0:15:04.960 as well, and then finally, well, the Titans did have 0:15:04.960 --> 0:15:06.360 a chance at this. They had two chances. I'm going 0:15:06.360 --> 0:15:07.720 to show you the first one because the second one 0:15:07.760 --> 0:15:11.320 wasn't as fun. They were about to score and couldn't 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:13.480 get it done, and it was nice to see the 0:15:13.520 --> 0:15:15.880 defense come through on that. Calvin Ridley obviously with a 0:15:15.920 --> 0:15:19.360 big catch and kind of then his going out of 0:15:19.400 --> 0:15:23.360 bounds as well. I mean, I don't know if his 0:15:23.400 --> 0:15:25.120 momentum would have allowed him to turn around anyway, but 0:15:25.120 --> 0:15:27.320 he kind of went out before they got the could 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:29.600 get the first down at the goal near the goal line, 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:30.960 I think it was at the two. They could have 0:15:31.000 --> 0:15:34.400 gotten a first down these new downs, and he didn't 0:15:34.680 --> 0:15:36.200 get there very subtly. 0:15:36.240 --> 0:15:39.240 I thought Trayvon kind of made that play. He was 0:15:39.280 --> 0:15:41.960 over there and so he got his hands up. Levis 0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:45.400 had to throw here about a second late. I think 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:48.280 people up there were sort of criticizing Calvin. 0:15:48.040 --> 0:15:50.040 I don't think he could have turned at that point. 0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:51.880 Yeah, I don't know, tough. 0:15:52.000 --> 0:15:53.320 I go back to what he said to me in 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:56.160 Dallas last preseason. You know how good I am, right, and. 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:57.640 I'm sure he's that good. I don't know if he's 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:58.040 that good. 0:15:58.800 --> 0:16:00.480 Listen, you say it, you better be able to play 0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:01.200 it right there, and he. 0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.000 Didn't, and then I couldn't get it done on that. 0:16:04.080 --> 0:16:06.240 They also had that four down sequence in the first half, 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:10.600 which was a little questionable as well, And it's nice 0:16:10.600 --> 0:16:12.120 to be on the other side of us for once. 0:16:12.200 --> 0:16:12.840 It's very good. 0:16:12.960 --> 0:16:14.520 Even after that, you kind of had to hold your 0:16:14.520 --> 0:16:15.240 breath because. 0:16:15.080 --> 0:16:16.440 Yeah, a little bit, because I gave the ball right 0:16:16.560 --> 0:16:16.960 free and. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:18.040 Out and put it right back. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:21.000 But that's where the Jaguars defense made enough place that 0:16:21.160 --> 0:16:22.880 they had not been able to do it. Remember the 0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:25.240 Packers game, right game is tied, you're thinking, all right, 0:16:25.240 --> 0:16:28.240 there's an opportunity here, and they gave up the big 0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:28.920 play down the field. 0:16:29.000 --> 0:16:30.520 Yesterday they didn't give up the place. 0:16:30.760 --> 0:16:33.080 One play we didn't touch on too that led to 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:36.880 the fourth down was when Trayvon almost killed the running back. 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:39.440 Yes, I thought that was as good a play the 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:40.160 game as there was. 0:16:40.240 --> 0:16:43.840 Yeah, and it sort of forced it. So again it's 0:16:43.840 --> 0:16:46.240 one of those we need more guys around here who 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:49.800 make that big play in the big moment. Not a 0:16:49.800 --> 0:16:51.000 lot of players in the NFL could have. 0:16:50.960 --> 0:16:51.440 Made that play. 0:16:51.480 --> 0:16:53.640 If that game goes to ten nothing at that point 0:16:53.760 --> 0:16:54.920 because Pollard scores. 0:16:56.080 --> 0:16:57.040 You don't know that you get. 0:16:56.880 --> 0:16:58.320 The chance, you don't. 0:16:58.760 --> 0:17:00.520 All right, stay with this, we'll give your hot takes 0:17:00.560 --> 0:17:09.960 coming up after the break. 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:16.120 Nap move the freight moves. 0:17:16.160 --> 0:17:18.600 The freight Magellan Transport go to the coolest office space 0:17:18.680 --> 0:17:23.160 in jacksonvill You can apply on line at Magellanlogistics dot com. 0:17:23.280 --> 0:17:23.480 Yeah. 0:17:23.520 --> 0:17:26.640 I think just as the game went on, he did 0:17:26.640 --> 0:17:27.600
