WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 115 | Takeaways After Jaguars Fall to Lions, Bye Week on the Horizon 0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:20.799 You know what I can't I can't control of that. 0:00:20.960 --> 0:00:25.840 And and you know, listen, I've been I've been around 0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:30.640 this league a long time, and you know, if it's 0:00:30.640 --> 0:00:32.960 gonna happen, it's gonna happen, obviously. But but at the 0:00:33.000 --> 0:00:35.440 same time, I still have a job to do, and 0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:38.680 and and that's to you know, you know, get ready 0:00:39.080 --> 0:00:42.559 for a you know, a good division opponent here in 0:00:42.560 --> 0:00:43.000 two weeks. 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:45.720 Welcome to jag Xam. 0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.400 I'm Kaanni Stevens, Brian Sexton, and John Osier are with 0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.760 me this morning. That's head coach Doug Peterson responding to 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:54.840 questions about his coaching future as things go forward with 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.240 this team. A absolutely terrible performance against the Lines. We're 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.280 gonna start up with big things, which is effort list 0:01:00.400 --> 0:01:03.680 the worst loss in franchise history. Brian, there's rumors, there's 0:01:03.760 --> 0:01:06.280 reports about Doug Peterson going forward with this team. 0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:07.800 Nothing official at this point. 0:01:08.000 --> 0:01:10.080 When we talk about effort, we didn't see any of 0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:10.840 it in that game. 0:01:11.680 --> 0:01:14.080 Do you remember when I made the case that the 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:17.440 Bills Monday Night lost was the worst loss in franchise history. 0:01:17.400 --> 0:01:19.199 Yeah, I'm not remembering that either. 0:01:19.200 --> 0:01:23.160 There's no argument this is the most humbling, the most embarrassing, 0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:27.399 the most difficult loss for anyone to swallow, and the 0:01:27.480 --> 0:01:31.320 rumors that were swirling before the wolves are howling at 0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:34.319 the door right now. And it doesn't surprise Doug. He's 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:37.160 been around this, and it doesn't surprise all the assistant 0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:38.959 coaches who have to deal with it. It just doesn't 0:01:38.959 --> 0:01:42.160 make it any easier, John, because the Lions they ran 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:45.080 a hook and ladder play. Those are at the end 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:46.920 of the game, right that's when you're trying to get 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.640 back into the game. They were beating you twenty one 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.960 to three and it was the second quarter, and they 0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:54.960 did it because they said, we can do anything we 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:57.720 want today. And that's what it felt like that the 0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:01.440 Jaguars were hapless. And you know, thirty years of covering 0:02:01.480 --> 0:02:04.040 this football team, they've been bad at times, but hapless 0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:04.360 is not. 0:02:04.320 --> 0:02:05.840 A word I've ever used to describe them. 0:02:05.920 --> 0:02:09.200 Yeah, they've had bad games, bad seasons. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:10.160 I know a by Brian. 0:02:10.200 --> 0:02:13.200 Your wife's in real estate, so they know about comps. 0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:18.160 It's hard to find a market comp for this. It's 0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:20.480 they scored every time they tried to score. 0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:21.480 The Lions did. 0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.960 And not only it wasn't big plays early, it was 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.520 We're gonna get eight and seven and eight. It looked 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.560 like a JV team playing its varsity team, and that's 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.079 not supposed to happen in the NFL. It was ridiculous 0:02:34.120 --> 0:02:37.560 and anything more. But like I was thinking about what we're 0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.560 gonna say on the show ran and it's it's hard 0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:45.440 because the performance spoke for itself. Anything we say is 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.320 sort of piling on. Well, it's obvious you can't I 0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:49.960 don't know that you can lose worse than that. 0:02:50.400 --> 0:02:51.600 The score can be worse. 0:02:52.280 --> 0:02:55.640 But I've never seen anything like it, So I'm not 0:02:55.680 --> 0:02:57.440 sure what else I'm gonna say for a half hour, 0:02:57.520 --> 0:02:59.800 but we'll give it a whirl. I've got one more 0:02:59.880 --> 0:03:01.080 thing I want to add to this kind, and that 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.560 is you watch their offensive line, and they were always 0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.400 four yards past the line of scrimmage involved in the play. 0:03:09.000 --> 0:03:12.320 They play at a completely different level than we have 0:03:12.400 --> 0:03:15.320 seen the Jaguars play at in all of twenty twenty four. 0:03:15.800 --> 0:03:17.120 They are impressive to watch. 0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:19.160 I think I said last week, I think that the 0:03:19.200 --> 0:03:21.120 Lions are the best team in the NFL. Well, I 0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:23.640 watched some of that Chiefs Bills game yesterday. The Lions 0:03:23.639 --> 0:03:24.920 are the best team in the NFL. 0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.600 It's not close. Let's go to our second big thing, 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.240 which is three and out again. We're going to do 0:03:29.240 --> 0:03:31.040 our best effort to keep talking about this. John, I 0:03:31.080 --> 0:03:33.520 know you love it. We talked about this offense getting 0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.800 slow starts, but the last two weeks with Mac Jones 0:03:35.840 --> 0:03:38.840 at quarterback, you've seen what Trevor Lawrence has been able 0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:39.480 to do with this. 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:41.240 I already thought what. 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:43.000 Trevor was doing was impressive, and now when you look 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:44.720 at what they've done the last two weeks, you realize 0:03:44.720 --> 0:03:46.680 he was doing a lot for this offense. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.760 He's a starting quarterback. He's good, he's a sending all 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:54.040 the stuff we talked about, and Ma's a backup, and 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.840 there are certain throws. It appears for the last two 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:01.240 weeks that the defense doesn't have to respect downfield, and 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:06.560 then when he does go downfield, the result has been interceptions. 0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:10.840 So I never really thought that there was a question. 0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:14.560 I mean, when Trevor was quote struggling, Oh, let's try 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:18.400 Eimac to Trevor is the starting quarterback. And I guess 0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:23.279 for people outside the team, the statistics are so stark 0:04:23.880 --> 0:04:27.520 the difference that they realize it now. But it was 0:04:27.560 --> 0:04:28.360 never a question here. 0:04:29.200 --> 0:04:32.080 Trevor is a starting quarterback. You have to help him. 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.320 You have to build a better offensive line for him. 0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:36.160 You've got to be able to run the ball better 0:04:36.200 --> 0:04:37.919 for him to be as good as he wants to be. 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.599 And you obviously have got to figure out something on defense. 0:04:40.600 --> 0:04:44.159 I mean, that's a long laundry list. Three and out again, 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:48.400 it's become their personality kind that when you need the 0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:51.760 offense to give the defense a break, just go and 0:04:51.839 --> 0:04:54.440 control the ball for a few minutes. They go three 0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.240 and out after each of the Lions' first two touchdown drives, 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.640 and there were seven consecutive, which still baggles my mind. 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:04.560 The offense goes three and outs. Part of that is 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:05.640 play calling. 0:05:05.600 --> 0:05:08.000 Part of it is execution, but that the third part 0:05:08.040 --> 0:05:10.919 of it is it's it's become who this offense is. 0:05:11.480 --> 0:05:13.799 It wasn't good the last month, early in the first 0:05:13.800 --> 0:05:17.080 half of any of those games. But if Trevor Lawrence 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:18.680 is in there, at least you think you have a chance. 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:22.119 You didn't yesterday ran You talk about how the lines 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:25.520 make everything look easy, the Jaguars make everything look difficult. 0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:27.960 That's our final big thing today as we look at 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:30.520 how difficult things work for the defense. Josh Heinz Allen 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:31.200 talked after. 0:05:31.040 --> 0:05:34.040 The game, today was not our day. 0:05:34.760 --> 0:05:36.920 Moving forward, man, I think we have a better message 0:05:37.000 --> 0:05:39.960 going tomorrow. Right now, everybody's lost for words, trying to 0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.360 figure out what to say, what what's going on? 0:05:42.520 --> 0:05:43.240 What it is is? 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.640 You know right now it's point it's it's it's almost 0:05:45.680 --> 0:05:48.719 like point the finger. But instead of us getting to 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.880 that point, we just need to not be emotional. Wait 0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:54.479 till tomorrow, watch the tape, triggure out what it is 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:57.000 and move forward from there and uh, then we can 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.440 talk about what the heck cammunity to do better. But again, 0:05:59.480 --> 0:06:00.599 like I said, Earl, today was. 0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:00.960 Not our day. 0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:04.320 Ermy today was yesterday. It was not their day. 0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.640 That's for Suair Brian and talk about loss for words, 0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:08.919 trying to figure something out. We know things aren't working 0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:11.320 at this point, and I don't know if we have 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:12.800 the words either, but we're gonna try. 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:18.359 Listen, people want someone fired, they want someone cut. The 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.680 problem with that is is not starting, it's stopping. I mean, 0:06:22.320 --> 0:06:24.680 because you can point the finger of blame across so 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.880 many different places that aren't working. The defensive line, the 0:06:27.920 --> 0:06:31.320 interior of the defensive line was on its back all 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:35.640 day long, all day long. The corners, I mean, looks 0:06:35.760 --> 0:06:38.040 that passing attack is outstanding and the league is set 0:06:38.120 --> 0:06:39.040 up for the passing attack. 0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:41.520 Those corners were just where to go? Where do who go? 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:45.160 Same thing on offense, the offensive line couldn't move anybody 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.320 off the ball on third down and short the quarterback. 0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.039 I mean, just that's the problem right now, is that 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:55.040 the Jaguars lack something John that they can absolutely say, well, 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.000 we can do this. We can always count on being 0:06:58.040 --> 0:07:00.719 able to throw the ball to Evan in room or 0:07:00.839 --> 0:07:04.680 create some room for Traves Etn to find a cutback 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.000 lane and great, you know, game three or four yards, 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:10.000 you're just left with a pile of what is this? 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:15.520 Yeah, they did get the ball to BTJ yesterday, so okay, 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:19.040 that's a bright spot for the future. Earlier. I'm not 0:07:19.240 --> 0:07:21.080 at all saying you shouldn't got the ball to BTJ, 0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.600 but it's so hard to find. It's not even a 0:07:23.640 --> 0:07:29.600 silver Lions. It's okay, they did it. Look it's it's uh. 0:07:29.760 --> 0:07:36.800 I I think shod Con has to be careful. This 0:07:36.880 --> 0:07:43.440 is such a rain of sadness or of criticism, that's 0:07:43.480 --> 0:07:46.240 to be careful let's not do anything based on that, 0:07:46.840 --> 0:07:51.679 right and not. This is why owners don't make quick 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:54.880 Hey I'm gonna do this right now. So I get 0:07:54.880 --> 0:07:56.760 why there was nothing done last night after the game 0:07:56.760 --> 0:07:59.120 post game every fans right all, why haven't they been 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:03.000 fired yet? He has to be measured and he has 0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:09.400 to decide what's best long term. So I our emotion 0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:12.080 is sort of what caused me to think that way. 0:08:12.120 --> 0:08:17.080 I guess, Hey, don't make emotional decisions, be measured and 0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:18.360 make sure you do it's best for the franchis. 0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:20.080 You still have six games to play. 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:23.040 Right right, I mean, if you start just throwing people out, 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:26.880 you've got to be functional. And John bears noting you 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:29.280 want your quarterback because you expect that Trevor Lawrence might 0:08:29.320 --> 0:08:32.079 be back in two weeks and Brian Thomas Junior and 0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.000 Tank Bigsby. You want some of these young players to 0:08:35.280 --> 0:08:37.400 make the most of the final six weeks, to come 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.679 away with some development, some things that you can feel 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:44.000 good about. I know that seems ridiculous after fifty two 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:47.000 to six, but you got six more games in seven weeks. 0:08:47.440 --> 0:08:50.080 If you just say, you know, push the button, pulled 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.040 the rip cord, everyone's out or at least key players. 0:08:53.080 --> 0:08:55.800 Are you risk the development of some of these guys 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.360 at least not taking advantage of it? 0:08:58.480 --> 0:08:59.720 Well said better than I said. 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:04.600 We appreciate Brian's words always sure. Stay with us here 0:09:04.640 --> 0:09:06.839 on Jagsam. Brian's gonna talk some more. We're gonna talk 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.120 some more. Well, we'll all talk it out together.

We welcome you back into jag 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.640 z Am today. A very tough one to watch yesterday. 0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.560 So we're gonna talk this all out. Maybe have a 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:39.960 little therapy session. 0:09:39.600 --> 0:09:42.000 Here, Rosie, who gets some laid back on the couch. 0:09:42.080 --> 0:09:43.679 I think we're all we m we all might need 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:47.480 a break at some point today, So let's talk this out. Brian, uh, 0:09:47.800 --> 0:09:49.840 John and I got the pleasure of watching this in person. 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.200 You got to watch this at home. 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:53.960 We're not gonna run through everything because I don't particularly 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.720 wanna watch it all again, but let's start with I 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.120 think this drive specifically is the second touchdown drive for 0:09:59.160 --> 0:10:02.679 the Lions. Showed a little bit of everything, and it 0:10:02.760 --> 0:10:06.440 showed me how well this team has been built. John 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:10.360 audibly reacting when we saw this run from Montgomery off 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:14.920 the top. I believe it was and just they could 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:18.800 do whatever they wanted and in every aspect of the game. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:23.880 Well there I got right key plays for every game. 0:10:24.480 --> 0:10:28.679 And what struck me yesterday and writing about this when 0:10:28.720 --> 0:10:30.200 the game was in the balance, Brian, there were no 0:10:30.280 --> 0:10:32.480 key plays, No, it was just I wondered how you 0:10:32.520 --> 0:10:37.480 were going to do eight. It was just devastating drives. 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:39.360 It's very rare to go to length of the field 0:10:39.520 --> 0:10:43.079 and then run the ball into the end zone inside 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:49.520 the ten, just at will, and it's because usually the 0:10:49.600 --> 0:10:54.600 other team will stop you and force throws for some creativity. 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.360 This was just doing this right, I mean, this was 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:03.400 just I am better than you are. And really that's 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.240 the analysis of the game. Everything else we're gonna be 0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:10.600 talking about is sort of filling air, right, because that 0:11:10.800 --> 0:11:14.600 was the difference. So stark of this is a better, 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:19.080 more physical team and therefore they did what they wanted to. 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:22.040 Do, and then the Jaguars compounded it with and we 0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:23.200 saw in that whole. 0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:25.240 Series horrible tackling. 0:11:25.679 --> 0:11:29.880 I mean, Ronald Darby had a shot at form tackling, 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:33.800 breaking down and taking Montgomery down for probably a two 0:11:33.880 --> 0:11:35.439 yard gain, and it turned out to be a nine 0:11:35.480 --> 0:11:37.560 yard game because he went in there with one arm out. 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:41.120 I mean, if you haven't played football, you know you're 0:11:41.120 --> 0:11:44.079 not gonna tackle an NFL running back with one arm. 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:45.079 It's not gonna happen. 0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:49.960 Here's what also struck you, right, I mean interrupt. It 0:11:50.000 --> 0:11:53.760 was fifty two to six, and turnovers were not a 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:57.240 factor though, Yeah, Ryons forced one turnover, and it was 0:11:57.240 --> 0:11:58.920 on the Jaguars, like what I mean, it was on 0:11:58.960 --> 0:12:01.280 their own like two or three. There was no field 0:12:01.320 --> 0:12:03.920 position flip. It was just we got the ball at 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:05.840 the twenty five and now we're gonna go down score. 0:12:05.880 --> 0:12:07.240 Well, if I'm the head coach and I'm meeting with 0:12:07.280 --> 0:12:09.559 my defensive coordinator today, and I would be meeting with 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:12.760 my defensive coordinator today, I'm looking at these drives. There 0:12:12.760 --> 0:12:14.280 was one drive I think it was fifty four yards 0:12:14.320 --> 0:12:16.800 and every other one was seventy yards or longer, including 0:12:16.840 --> 0:12:18.920 two that were ninety yards or longer. It was just 0:12:20.360 --> 0:12:23.000 they did anything they want. At one point they ran 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.360 the hook in the ladder in the second quarter. It 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.160 was as if they were laughing at you. 0:12:28.000 --> 0:12:29.840 Let's take a look at that hooking ladder, right, don't. 0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.080 We I figured that was going to be on the list. 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.080 I mean, yeah, just misdirection plays, just doing whatever they 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:37.200 wanted to do. I think third or fourth touchdown. Hard 0:12:37.200 --> 0:12:40.000 to keep track at this point, but yeah, they're doing 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:42.200 whatever they wanted and that was not great to see 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:45.320 and just and for me, it was we'd seen a 0:12:45.320 --> 0:12:48.360 lot of effort out of everybody for the last month 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:51.319 or so, even with the dire situation that they were in. 0:12:51.400 --> 0:12:53.040 But we had seen them be in these games and 0:12:53.040 --> 0:12:56.120 one possession games. This was not even close to that, 0:12:56.200 --> 0:12:58.080 and it was clear from the jump that it wasn't 0:12:58.080 --> 0:12:58.400 going to be. 0:12:58.440 --> 0:12:59.840 I think we all had a little feeling going in. 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.360 Obviously the Lions are one of, if not the best 0:13:02.360 --> 0:13:05.600 team in the league. But just see no resistance whatsoever. 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:08.440 It was it was I think obviously the team felt 0:13:08.480 --> 0:13:08.720 that too. 0:13:08.960 --> 0:13:12.080 Yeah, and I think once I don't think you go 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:15.720 in planning to have it be that way. It struck 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:18.240 you as a game where they went down and got 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.560 the early field goal, Okay, well here we go, and 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:25.320 then the defense it just felt like collectively realized on 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:30.400 the first drive, Oh, they're going to do this, and 0:13:31.400 --> 0:13:35.480 somewhere that three percent of you gets a little bit deflated. 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:38.200 And that's all it takes in this league. So it's 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:41.480 you know, I don't believe NFL players quit, but I 0:13:41.520 --> 0:13:44.720 do believe that they can lose their will a bit. 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:48.120 And it looked like it lost its will yesterday. That's 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.360 just watching it. And I don't know how you interpret 0:13:51.600 --> 0:13:52.920 what happened on the field yesterday. 0:13:52.920 --> 0:13:54.920 Well I couldn't interpret it because I wasn't there. But 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:59.520 I'll take you this their offensive line, and we're going 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:01.880 to stop talking about this game, I think today. So 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:03.679 I'm gonna let me hit this with a hammer as 0:14:03.679 --> 0:14:07.480 hard as I can. Their offensive line is so much 0:14:07.520 --> 0:14:10.120 more physical. They play right on the edge of the whistle. 0:14:10.400 --> 0:14:13.360 There is a nastiness that brings in the personality of 0:14:13.440 --> 0:14:17.960 Dan Campbell, and the Jaguars had no resistance whatsoever. I 0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:22.160 watched Devon Hamilton two weeks ago in Philadelphia play maybe 0:14:22.200 --> 0:14:24.720 his best game, not just this year, but of his career. 0:14:25.120 --> 0:14:28.120 He was so disrupted in the middle of the field. 0:14:28.200 --> 0:14:32.360 I thought that's a good sign. Yesterday it was he 0:14:32.480 --> 0:14:35.920 was literally like a blocking sled and just pushed any 0:14:36.120 --> 0:14:39.920 which way and not by an all pro guard, right, 0:14:40.840 --> 0:14:42.280 And I don't mean to just single him out, but 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.240 it was just so obvious that a guy who had 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:47.359 played so well two weeks ago didn't have the resistance 0:14:47.760 --> 0:14:48.560 in two weeks time. 0:14:49.320 --> 0:14:52.160 I think it's extra frustrating for fans. I dare to 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.040 speak for them that to see the lines put this 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:56.280 together in the same amount of time that the Jaguars 0:14:56.360 --> 0:14:58.400 have been trying to rebuild themselves as well. 0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:00.200 Just throwing a massive log on the phone. 0:15:00.760 --> 0:15:02.880 But it hurts extra when you see it because you're like, wow, 0:15:02.960 --> 0:15:04.920 they've had three years to do so look what they 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:07.440 have built in that time, Look what they've drafted. Look 0:15:07.600 --> 0:15:09.560 the culture of that team, and you see it and 0:15:09.600 --> 0:15:12.160 it works so well, and you just want it for yourself. 0:15:12.360 --> 0:15:14.720 And I think going forward, at least for us, we 0:15:14.760 --> 0:15:16.920 need to look at who we want and who we 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:21.240 want to build around, you know, effort, right, So I'm 0:15:21.240 --> 0:15:25.960 watching this team blow out the Jaguars. Ventral Miller diving 0:15:26.000 --> 0:15:28.040 to save this play that we're going to see here 0:15:28.200 --> 0:15:30.760 gives with that huge run. That's someone we talked about. 0:15:30.920 --> 0:15:32.480 I need to look for a silver lining. I'm looking 0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.920 at who I want to build with. Watching that game, 0:15:34.960 --> 0:15:36.880 it's so easy to give up on that. But to 0:15:36.880 --> 0:15:38.440 see someone put an effort like that. 0:15:38.760 --> 0:15:40.760 He's listen, he is terrific. 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.920 I started making a list of the guys that I 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.480 wanted to carry forward, and there were ten that I 0:15:46.520 --> 0:15:49.280 was really excited about, which maybe more than the average 0:15:49.400 --> 0:15:51.960 listener the viewer this morning is thinking about. But there 0:15:51.960 --> 0:15:54.400 are some good players on this roster who have been 0:15:54.520 --> 0:15:58.520 lost in the wash of a season that is just 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:04.280 absolutely gone. Andre Miller runs and hits and makes plays. 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:07.680 I mean, if he doesn't dive, this is a touchdown. 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.520 If he doesn't get him off his feet, Jamior Gibbs 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:14.000 scores on that play, they ended up scoring anyway. But 0:16:15.280 --> 0:16:18.040 Ventre Miller is a terrific football player, and. 0:16:17.960 --> 0:16:19.720 For me, that's the focus. That's someone you want on 0:16:19.760 --> 0:16:21.520 your team. That's someone he would thrive on a Dan 0:16:21.600 --> 0:16:24.240 Campbells team. He's someone that is that same sort of energy, 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:24.920 and that's what you need. 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:29.320 Yeah, listen, this football team needs. 0:16:29.200 --> 0:16:30.960 More of that. 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:32.200 Though, yeah, a lot more. 0:16:32.240 --> 0:16:33.320 I was trying to think of the right way to 0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:33.680 say it. 0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:34.280 It's more of that. 0:16:34.680 --> 0:16:36.200 All right, We're not gonna watch any more of this 0:16:36.200 --> 0:16:38.000 because I don't think anybody is going to enjoy that. 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:39.520 But we are going to come back after this break 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:41.520 talk about our hot takes and what we think going forward. 0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:50.720 Welcome back to jag Zam, brought to you by Firehouse Subs. 0:16:50.800 --> 0:16:53.000 Check out their new hot sauce bar that's been brought back, 0:16:53.000 --> 0:16:55.760 and of course Firehouse Subs also bringing you your hot 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:59.080 takes today. I don't know how hot they're going to be, 0:16:59.240 --> 0:17:01.200 but we try. I had to be creative for you 0:17:01.240 --> 0:17:03.680 at least give you some sort of entertainment. So, Brian, 0:17:03.760 --> 0:17:04.480 what is your hot? 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.640 Was in my game up in an emotional homeward because 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.840 it's important to know that the last three weeks, right 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.200 against the Packers, Eagles, and Vikings, I wouldn't have said 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.560 this because it looked like the Jaguars were just not 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.399 as good as those teams and they lost close games. 0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:20.520 But yesterday I felt as if the Jaguars didn't belong 0:17:20.520 --> 0:17:22.760 on the same field with the Lions, and clearly the 0:17:22.760 --> 0:17:26.920 score would indicate that they do not. Now, if Trevor plays, 0:17:27.359 --> 0:17:30.240 you know, maybe you're better than fifty two to six, 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.040 but what is it fifty two to twenty four. If 0:17:33.040 --> 0:17:35.639 this was a premier league, the Jaguars would be in 0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:39.960 danger of relegation because yesterday it just looked like they 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.480 were playing against was it Manchester United or man City? 0:17:44.560 --> 0:17:47.680 I mean, the best of the best, and they were 0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:50.080 not up to the challenge whatsoever. The Jaguars are lucky 0:17:50.119 --> 0:17:51.560 that the NFL doesn't have a second tier. 0:17:51.800 --> 0:17:54.280 Yeah, and they relegate the last three teams, and right 0:17:54.320 --> 0:17:58.480 now this is the last team, so I expect that 0:17:58.640 --> 0:18:02.320 could change, but right now they're they're there. I wasn't 0:18:02.400 --> 0:18:06.000 very creative, but my hot take was it's as bad 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:06.520 as it gets. 0:18:06.560 --> 0:18:08.240 I mean it's I said that last week. 0:18:08.320 --> 0:18:12.960 I was just gonna say, but John is. 0:18:13.040 --> 0:18:17.240 My point is, you can't get be worse than this. 0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.280 In the NFL. They scored every time they tried to score, 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:23.880 and then you had a fifty nine yard field goal 0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.440 which got credit to Cam literally hit it, but one 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:30.720 of your points you needed a franchise record long field goal. 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:35.359 So it's I'm not even in the mood to hammer 0:18:35.400 --> 0:18:40.679 it anymore. It was a ridiculously bad performance, and I 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:44.000 mean it's I'm not sure where you go from. 0:18:44.000 --> 0:18:45.480 Well, here's where we could both be wrong and it 0:18:45.480 --> 0:18:47.440 could be worse. Is you don't get Trevor Lawrence back 0:18:47.840 --> 0:18:50.199 and against the softer part of your schedule, right, I 0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.399 mean the Jets and the Titans and the Raiders. These 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:54.480 are teams that are in the same situation as you are. 0:18:55.119 --> 0:18:56.600 You don't find a way to climb out of that, 0:18:56.760 --> 0:18:59.400 So it could theoretically still not be good. 0:19:00.119 --> 0:19:04.320 That would be third number one pick in five years. 0:19:04.920 --> 0:19:07.040 All right, Well mine is a little bit different, So 0:19:07.119 --> 0:19:08.640 that's very hot, Tache. It's more of a shout out 0:19:08.640 --> 0:19:11.280 to social media. I'm gonna laugh to keep from crying. 0:19:11.320 --> 0:19:13.840 I just want to thank Jaguars Twitter, because you are 0:19:13.880 --> 0:19:16.480 the funniest fan base I've ever been around. You have 0:19:16.560 --> 0:19:19.399 a sense of self deprecating humor that I very much enjoy. 0:19:19.480 --> 0:19:21.800 Thank you for the memes, thank you for the gifts. 0:19:21.800 --> 0:19:24.320 Thank you for keeping this light, because it's not light 0:19:24.400 --> 0:19:25.840 and it stinks right now and. 0:19:25.800 --> 0:19:26.760 I'm really thankful. 0:19:26.800 --> 0:19:29.240 So if you haven't, go find something funny to laugh 0:19:29.280 --> 0:19:29.840
