1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,240
Speaker 1: Time for a week. In conversation with Pride of the

2
00:00:02,279 --> 00:00:08,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor ahead of the Packers Jaguars matchup, Fred,

3
00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:12,639
Speaker 1: let's rewind quickly to the Jaguars Patriots matchup at Wimbley

4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:15,640
Speaker 1: and the best performance overall of the year for this team.

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 1: All three phases got the job done last week in London.

6
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, all three phases executed on a high level. Started

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,000
Speaker 2: out a little slow, but that's okay. They finished strong,

8
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 2: walked away with a thirty two to sixteen victory. I

9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 2: believe it was the most point sport this season by

10
00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:34,440
Speaker 2: our offense, and they did it in a different sort

11
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: of type fashion. Thirty nine times they ran the ball

12
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,040
Speaker 2: I believe it was eighteen in a row consecutive runs

13
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 2: and only attempted twenty passes, in which Trevor was pretty

14
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: effective on that. They asked some deep shots to Brian

15
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,239
Speaker 2: Thomas Junior. The biggest play of the game obviously the

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 2: ninety six yard point return that almost gave everybody a

17
00:00:55,800 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 2: heart attack before he brought it in.

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:58,680
Speaker 3: The PJ.

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: Washington ninety six yard point return the eleventh longest return

20
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 2: in the history of the NFL, the longest in the

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: history of the Jags and the London game was a

22
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 2: huge play, and I think that just gave the guys

23
00:01:12,280 --> 00:01:17,399
Speaker 2: the confidence and the momentum boost that they needed to

24
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 2: propel themselves, you know, ahead of the Patriots to get

25
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 2: the win. So much needed win, especially looking ahead at

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:27,320
Speaker 2: the next four games.

27
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 3: Needed to bring that one home, no doubt about that.

28
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:33,919
Speaker 1: Fred, you mentioned the next five games in factor against

29
00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: teams with winning records the next four or against NFC contenders.

30
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: The next one is against the Green Bay Packers and

31
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 1: a team that's playing really well right now. Jordan Love,

32
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:48,240
Speaker 1: big contract guy. He's throwing it all over the field.

33
00:01:48,280 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: He's got a long streak of games with two or

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: more passing touchdowns. So you know what they're going to do.

35
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 1: They want to move this and spread this football around

36
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 1: against the Jaguars defense. Let's be honest, before last week

37
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: wasn't played well at all in the passing game. They're

38
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 1: still thirty first in the league in past defense, so

39
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: they might have some.

40
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 3: Guys back this week.

41
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 1: Maybe that's a boost of the defense as well, Luikan,

42
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: maybe wingers, But how do you slow down Jordan Love

43
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,280
Speaker 1: and the way they're throwing this football round?

44
00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:16,399
Speaker 3: Just to answer to those guys that might be back.

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:20,160
Speaker 2: It was good seeing Tyson Campbell in some spot duty

46
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,120
Speaker 2: last week there and in London, so he's sort of

47
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:28,520
Speaker 2: working his way back in the lineup. It's gonna be tough,

48
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: you know. Obviously the Packers are five and two ball club.

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: They play some close games and went to played a

50
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:40,120
Speaker 2: thrilling matchup against the Texans last week. But it's not impossible.

51
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: The Texans were able to get after Love. You know,

52
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,920
Speaker 2: they got two interceptions off of them, they sacked him

53
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 2: I think three or four times, and that those picks

54
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 2: came by way of pressure and good secondary play. So Jacks,

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 2: if they can continue Trayvonon Walker what he's been doing

56
00:02:57,360 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 2: in these last three games, but he's been a se machine.

57
00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:03,760
Speaker 2: He's actually coming into his own and just sort of

58
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 2: he has a sack streak going here. So and he's

59
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 2: also playing well against the run, So they're going to

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,079
Speaker 2: have to continue to be very disciplined against the run

61
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 2: and managing not allowing Josh Jacobs to get going because

62
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 2: if he gets going then it makes it an easier

63
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,679
Speaker 2: job for Jordan Love. So Jay and j Josh and

64
00:03:25,919 --> 00:03:28,959
Speaker 2: Jordan will definitely be on the hunt but if you

65
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 2: can maintain the run game, which I think the Jags

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:34,679
Speaker 2: have done a tremendous job of this year, you'll give

67
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,200
Speaker 2: yourself an opportunity to get the packs into third and

68
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: manageable or third and long, which will then give you

69
00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 2: an opportunity to rush the passer and potentially create turnovers

70
00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 2: on the back end for your secondary.

71
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,920
Speaker 3: That's the formula from a defensive standpoint.

72
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,760
Speaker 2: I love the formula in which the Jags used a

73
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 2: week ago to beat the Patriots by running the ball.

74
00:03:56,440 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 2: Tank had tremendous output his career highs across the board

75
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: and carries and yards and potential I think touchdowns as well.

76
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:09,600
Speaker 2: So Tank had a tremendous day, and they took pressure

77
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 2: off of Trevor. You know, they took their shots and

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 2: those shots were let mean, they took their shots, and

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:23,599
Speaker 2: those shots were orchestrated, I think, manufactured perfectly for the

80
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 2: players to go in and make the play. So I

81
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 2: like to see more of that play action off the

82
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,840
Speaker 2: run game. Take your shot, throw it to mister Baccherode

83
00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 2: I like to call them nowadays. Brian Thomas Baccarade is

84
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 2: fifty fifty, so it's a fifty to fifty ball. So

85
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:43,719
Speaker 2: my nickname for him is mister Baccarat because we gotta

86
00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 2: take shots and give them a chance to bring it home.

87
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 2: And that's what I believe the formula is for success

88
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 2: for the offense.

89
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,440
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I've never played baccarat in my life, but.

90
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 2: From what I hear, wink wink. From what I hear,

91
00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 2: it's the best odds.

92
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 3: You know.

93
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: If I could say to work on this show, I

94
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 2: don't know. Yes, I don't want the league to start crazy,

95
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 2: you know how it goes. But Rocker Ride is like

96
00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 2: fifty fifty his heads and tails, yes or no. Du

97
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: a little player, so you know he's the player and

98
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,560
Speaker 2: the quarterback is the dealer's a It's a fifty to

99
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 2: fifty shot. So just throwing the deep ball is what

100
00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,480
Speaker 2: I'm trying to say. Give him a chance, give them good.

101
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: It's a good way to say it. Fred Taylor with us.

102
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,159
Speaker 2: If you're Travis et and Jr.

103
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: And you saw what happened last week and you're off

104
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: on the side with what a hamstring injury? Yeah, I

105
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 1: mean obviously you're motivated to get back anyway.

106
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:37,919
Speaker 3: You want to get back on the field sooner. Take's

107
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,479
Speaker 3: gonna run away with this thing, right, Well, you got

108
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,080
Speaker 3: to continue to root your guys on.

109
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:47,320
Speaker 2: You know, I spoke on the show with with with

110
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 2: the Guys earlier and we talked about you know, I

111
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 2: think competition. I think winning is a byproduct of competing.

112
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 2: You know, you want to win, and how do you

113
00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 2: do that? You have to compete, Like we all want

114
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 2: to win, but the competition, like what do they say,

115
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 2: the cream rises to the top, right, I've always wanted

116
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 2: to compete. I've been in this situation many many times

117
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 2: where I was the starter and then I get injured,

118
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: and then guys go out there and they have these

119
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: sort of performances and you go, okay, But what usually

120
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:21,680
Speaker 2: the league or the team rules are. You're not going

121
00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 2: to lose your job to injury. You still get an

122
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to go out there and compete. And I believe

123
00:06:27,920 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 2: Travis is in position where he has a strong mindset,

124
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 2: he's strong will, he'll continue, He'll return from his injury

125
00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 2: and go out there and compete and let the coaches

126
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 2: make the decision and who gets the reps, who gets

127
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: the carries, because they're doing that anyway, right. The beauty

128
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 2: of it all is being able to have a two

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 2: headed monster and Travis and Tank let's call them TNT.

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,919
Speaker 2: That's dynamite, right. So I like my TNT and my

131
00:06:56,040 --> 00:07:00,000
Speaker 2: Jay and J's I'm working this morning, JP, what we got,

132
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: I don't know what that is.

133
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: I don't know, man, well I do, but I.

134
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 2: Can tell you off air because you know so. So

135
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: I like the fact that they do have a dual threat.

136
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 2: They have a two headed monster. Two guys are very

137
00:07:15,800 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 2: much capable of getting it done as well as the

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 2: team now has an insurance blanket, and that Tank is

139
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: a younger player. Tank will not be asking for a

140
00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:30,840
Speaker 2: contract in a couple of years, whereas on the flip side, Travis,

141
00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 2: he potentially could have been, you know, in position to

142
00:07:34,080 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 2: go in there and say, hey, I saw what you

143
00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 2: paid my college teammates. You got a little left for me. So,

144
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 2: I mean, this slows that down a bit. But still

145
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,040
Speaker 2: it's not in his control. It's never in his control.

146
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 2: Still got to leave that up to the team in

147
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 2: the front office. But these are the things that you know.

148
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 2: Now management gets an opportunity to kind of use his

149
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: leveraging kind of player around with as they look at

150
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 2: their roster or the roster of a two and five

151
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 2: ball club.

152
00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: Bred Taylor with his final thought here, the Packers lead

153
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,960
Speaker 1: the league in takeaways, so you know what they're going

154
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 1: to be about. I mean, they do a lot of

155
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 1: things defensively. They have great personnel all over the field.

156
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 1: So you know, how do you approach this defense? Is

157
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: it like you just said, right, run the ball, hang

158
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: on to the football, or do you take some chances

159
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: down the field. Because there have been some opportunities for Trevor.

160
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: Lawrence, I mean I think you you stand a better

161
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:36,040
Speaker 2: chance possibly JP of of of of running the football.

162
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:40,040
Speaker 2: Here you have Xavier McKinney who they got over from

163
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:43,319
Speaker 2: the Giants a year ago and he's leading the league

164
00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: in interception and takeaways. A guy who is more athletic

165
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: and his defending more so than I believe. Being a

166
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: strong hackler, get the running backs an opportunity to set

167
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 2: your offense up, and then you have have to pick

168
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: your part point when you want to take your shots.

169
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:09,560
Speaker 2: H So the ball and if the defense, if the

170
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 2: defense can play as well as they played a week

171
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 2: ago where they went out there and they forced some

172
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:18,200
Speaker 2: third downs, they were able to maintain and not let

173
00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 2: the Patriots get too far away, so the Jaguars could

174
00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 2: run the ball and that all worked out. You know,

175
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 2: So stop the run, try and get you know, three

176
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 2: and out situations, or manage the scoring opportunities for the Packers,

177
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,360
Speaker 2: and then on the flip side through out there and

178
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 2: run the ball, set up a deep shot, be a

179
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 2: play action, and you got to score. The guys got

180
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 2: to catch the ball this week and and and score,

181
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,319
Speaker 2: because that's sort of been a theme when they make

182
00:09:49,360 --> 00:09:50,000
Speaker 2: the mistakes.

183
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 3: The Jacks play bad.

184
00:09:51,280 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 2: When they go out there and execute the place that

185
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 2: they are simply supposed to execute, they're actually a really

186
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: good team and they could be a better team if

187
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 2: they just do that and.

188
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,400
Speaker 3: Don't get behind ten nothing. That's hard to make a

189
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: living in this league. Yeah, they did it last.

190
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 2: Week, and you can't get behind ten Packers. Yeah, you

191
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,200
Speaker 2: got to come out, you got to try to play faster,

192
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 2: but went in doubt though, however, you still got to

193
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 2: play hard for sixty minutes. You got to go out

194
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: there and not show any quit down. They could have

195
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 2: easily took their tests, you know, especially after hearing the

196
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:33,920
Speaker 2: whole quit message a week the week prior to versus

197
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 2: the Bears. They could have said, here we go again,

198
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 2: we're down, that's quit, be ready to go back to

199
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: the States.

200
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: They didn't do that.

201
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: They continue to fight through, they continue to find a way,

202
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 2: they build some momentum.

203
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,480
Speaker 3: They only allowed another touchdown.

204
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 2: After that, and they found a way to win thirty

205
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 2: two to sixteen in a much needed win, and they

206
00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 2: have an opportunity to do that back in Jacksonville in

207
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 2: front of the own fans.

208
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:01,840
Speaker 1: Well done as always, and we'll talk to you in

209
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: the post game. Hopefully the momentum carries back over the Atlantic.

210
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 3: We'll talk to you a little bit later.

211
00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:10,640
Speaker 2: We certainly that momentum. We'll see. I'll be on a

212
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 2: standby
