00:00:03,880 --> 00:00:08,959
Speaker 1: Welcome to James Drive Time with John hoosherst and Brian

2
00:00:09,119 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: sex Thy sexty James Drive Time and starts right now

3
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:31,920
Speaker 1: where you want to tell you who turnovers? Who needs something?

4
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: Who what's offing the gold buck Man top. We gotta

5
00:00:40,080 --> 00:01:33,759
Speaker 1: keep fighting to keep believe believes. Good morning and welcome

6
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 1: to Jags Drive Time on the Monday after the most

7
00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:40,760
Speaker 1: improbable of winds. And what an energetic scene in the

8
00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:44,480
Speaker 1: Jaguars locker room Bryan Sexton with John Ozier. You know, John,

9
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: the old thing missing from that video and we don't

10
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: have it because we didn't get it, is what the

11
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: locker room was like a halftime when the head so

12
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 1: the swing of the pendulum that would have been incredible

13
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:02,040
Speaker 1: to be able to compare in contrast. Instead we're taking

14
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: stories from players talking about how the coaching staff responded.

15
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,600
Speaker 1: Um Where to begin other than to say that my

16
00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 1: favorite part of the whole weekend was Trevor Lawrence going

17
00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: to the waffle house to to eat with Walker Little

18
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,600
Speaker 1: and look like Logan Cook and a bunch of his

19
00:02:18,680 --> 00:02:21,959
Speaker 1: teammates in the early morning hours of Sunday. Well, and

20
00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 1: if that doesn't show you sort of what this team

21
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: is uh, how they're a part of this city, etcetera, etcetera. Uh,

22
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: and it was fantastic. I don't know how much more

23
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:37,760
Speaker 1: there is to say, except the images spoke for themselves

24
00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: on that. I do think. I don't know what the

25
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: locker room was like, but I spoke to Evan Ingram

26
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: probably three or four minutes into the open locker room

27
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: period the media, and I really didn't have a question.

28
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: I just kind of I just kind of looked at him.

29
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: I've gotten to know him a little bit, and I

30
00:02:54,960 --> 00:03:00,320
Speaker 1: just said, yeah, come on right, and he's said when

31
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,200
Speaker 1: he caught the touchdown past the end of the first half,

32
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: he said, I told myself after that, I don't know

33
00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:09,079
Speaker 1: what's going to happen, but but I'm I'm going to

34
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: do everything I can to win this game, and I'm

35
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:14,120
Speaker 1: not going to quit. Whatever that word it is, you

36
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: know what I'm getting at. And he talked for a while,

37
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: and it was interesting because it was one of those

38
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: cases where you couldn't really quote a guy because he

39
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:24,359
Speaker 1: was just sort of talking about what he had just

40
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: been through and he said what he soon realized on

41
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: the sidelines, and then in the locker room he said,

42
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: Donna every everybody else I felt that way too, Like

43
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: he got that vibe and it was real. I mean

44
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,400
Speaker 1: sometimes after after games, players are talking and you're not

45
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: sure if they're if they're really telling you something real,

46
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: he said, everybody, I thought the same thing, And then

47
00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: Foyer brought them up during halftime, which they all talked about.

48
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: Trevor talked about it, and that sort of galvanized it.

49
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 1: He said. Every he said, even if we shouldn't have,

50
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: we believe we're gonna win the game, and he that's nuts.

51
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: Boyer said he's got a screw loose to think that.

52
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: He had one of the great lines of post game

53
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: on Saturday night when he said, I didn't like our odds,

54
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: but I liked our chances. And that's um, all that

55
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:22,480
Speaker 1: stuff we're talking about. There's no reason down twenty seven, nothing,

56
00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: you think you're gonna win the game, right, um, especially

57
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,160
Speaker 1: in the emotion of the moment, like when you go

58
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: back and look at it, which I did yesterday, we

59
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,960
Speaker 1: all did. There were things that made you think in retrospect, okay,

60
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:37,640
Speaker 1: you know they had only given up a couple of

61
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: scoring drives and seventeen of the points were off a

62
00:04:41,400 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 1: thirty five yard drives because it's all point blank. So

63
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:46,840
Speaker 1: the defense never played poorly. So you thought, okay, well,

64
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: looking back, you saw they had things to build on.

65
00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:52,679
Speaker 1: Trevor said he'd only throw in really one bad pass.

66
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,280
Speaker 1: He was still seeing it. In retrospect, you see that

67
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: those are the things they could build on to win

68
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: that game. Um. But in the height of that moment,

69
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: for them to really think they were gonna win speaks

70
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 1: to the culture, speaks to what they've done, speaks to

71
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 1: all these things saying. And I'm not a big team

72
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: of destiny guy, Bryan, but how could you. When Patterson

73
00:05:17,600 --> 00:05:20,640
Speaker 1: kicked that field go, I thought to myself, even if

74
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 1: he shanks it, it's going to go in somehow, And

75
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I don't think he would tell you. It's probably his

76
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,920
Speaker 1: best kick. It squeezed in. But there was no way

77
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: that ball wasn't going through, you know, I mean those moments, Uh,

78
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 1: it was almost like the ball was willed through the uprights.

79
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,760
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna tell anything from from Riley's kick, but

80
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm getting at. There was no way

81
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: that was gonna be I was standing right there on

82
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:43,280
Speaker 1: the field as it went through, and I felt the

83
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: exact same thing as he lined up. It was no

84
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: doubt let's get into big things because you talked about

85
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,040
Speaker 1: it speaks to the culture, and it speaks to the

86
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: locker room. It also speaks to the coach and his

87
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: strategy in the second happened to look down to seven.

88
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I didn't know what sort of strategy

89
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: you could possibly in employ to get back into a

90
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: game in which everything went wrong in the first half.

91
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: It didn't look as if it was possible for the

92
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,839
Speaker 1: Jaguars to be able to stack things together and turn

93
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: it around in only thirty minutes. But the head coach

94
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 1: had a strategy. Strategy was just one play at a time,

95
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,760
Speaker 1: you know. And and um, you know, we knew the

96
00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: defense was starting the second half, so we felt like, uh,

97
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, defensively, we had to get off the field

98
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: at some point. We're trying to create you know, takeaways, turnovers,

99
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: things of that nature. And and if we could, um,

100
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 1: you know, offense just you know, had to just regroup

101
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:37,320
Speaker 1: and and uh and score. And we talked about possibly

102
00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: having to score every every time we touched the ball,

103
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 1: every possession in the second half, and and um, you know,

104
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: so that was the that was the strategy, big thing

105
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: to his team, his town. Hey, look, we talked about

106
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: the waffle house. There's no doubt this is Trevor Lawrenceville

107
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,520
Speaker 1: this morning and will be for the foreseeable future. If

108
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: he had a zero point zero passer rating after that

109
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: third interception, and you're scratching your head wondering, how can

110
00:07:06,200 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: this talented quarterback, there's generational talent who has been so

111
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: good for so many weeks in a row. How does

112
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 1: he dig out of it? What can he do? We

113
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: were all of it at a loss, but ray Sean

114
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: Jenkins had an answer for us in the postgame locker room.

115
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: Man like did like for someone for him to go there?

116
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 1: You know, he didn't have a good first time. I

117
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: don't just call it what it is. But man, if

118
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 1: we him to come back and stands home and really

119
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:36,440
Speaker 1: lead this team back, man, that's crazy. I've never seen

120
00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: it done before, Like not with my own I've never

121
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: seen that done before. Twenty seven zero in eight playoff game.

122
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: I guess a really talented team like that's something like

123
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: even don't remember forever and Big Thing three and you

124
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: all know this. You can't count this team out. Ever. Look,

125
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,920
Speaker 1: we've seen a resilient Jaguars team since November began. I mean,

126
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 1: we've chronicled for you the big deficits they faced against

127
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 1: the Raiders and the Ravens and the Cowboys, and they

128
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: just never stopped. This, though, was an extraordinary level of

129
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 1: resiliency in one of the most pressure packed environments you

130
00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: could possibly imagine this football team. As John said, rallied

131
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 1: around Foyer. Loui Kunn, who explained it at the podium,

132
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: I kind of like how we were talking about earlier.

133
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,120
Speaker 1: We had a lot of close games this year. Um,

134
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 1: the Giants game I think maybe came back in the

135
00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,199
Speaker 1: Ravens game, the Raiders game. We did those earlier. Um,

136
00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 1: then that Detroit game happened, and we just knew the

137
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:36,319
Speaker 1: kind of energy and fight we need to have for

138
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: four quarters. And we knew if we just brought well

139
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:41,480
Speaker 1: we're supposed to bring into the table anything as possible.

140
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,439
Speaker 1: So yeah, that Dallas game was cool to see, but

141
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: we had kind of learned our winning equation a little

142
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,679
Speaker 1: bit earlier than that. Is just our accountability on doing that.

143
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 1: That's just kind of how we are as a team

144
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: right now. We just keep fighting all the way through,

145
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: no matter what's happening in the game. We're gonna put

146
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,520
Speaker 1: ourselves and what we feel is the best chance to win.

147
00:08:58,080 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 1: And so let's go back to big thing too, and

148
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 1: you can get lost in it. And I don't know

149
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:04,760
Speaker 1: whether people look at possession by possession, but you realize

150
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars fall down twenty seven to nothing after the

151
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 1: ball goes off Chris Claybrook's head and you give him

152
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: a chip shot field goal. Right from that point on,

153
00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,400
Speaker 1: the Jaguars scored on every possession Trevor in the next

154
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: four possessions, including that last one in the first half

155
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 1: through a touchdown pass on four consecutive possessions and led

156
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,560
Speaker 1: them to the game winning field goal. I mean, resiliency

157
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: doesn't need to begin to describe mental toughness, doesn't need

158
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Speaker 1: to begin to describe how you handle the situation knowing

159
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: that you've got to get it done. His mental game

160
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,079
Speaker 1: is as strong as his physical game. Well, and it's

161
00:09:40,200 --> 00:09:41,679
Speaker 1: my hot takes later on, so I don't want to

162
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: say everything about it, but uh, what I thought was

163
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: remarkable was down twenty seven nothing and he comes out

164
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: and has a good drive and gets them back in um.

165
00:09:56,160 --> 00:10:01,280
Speaker 1: But he got better and more in the zone if

166
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 1: you will, There's no question whatever was going on, he

167
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Speaker 1: was thrown passes by the end that uh rival to

168
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:10,679
Speaker 1: anything he has thrown. He had, and he's had some

169
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:12,360
Speaker 1: good games down the stretch where he felt like he

170
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: couldn't miss. And when he gets into groove like that.

171
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,640
Speaker 1: Somebody asked me yesterday, you know where does he rank?

172
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: Where is he compared to the quarterbacks in the league.

173
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,960
Speaker 1: When he's in that groove, he's as good as anybody. Um. Now,

174
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: he doesn't always get to that groove, which is why

175
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: he's not Mahomes Burrow. You know, there's an elite level

176
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: that he's not there yet, but when he's there, you

177
00:10:34,080 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 1: can't stop that. I think in the second half though,

178
00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:38,719
Speaker 1: he was right. And here's why I say it. I

179
00:10:38,840 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: watched Josh Allen, I watched Joe Burrow. Yeah, they didn't

180
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: play better yesterday than he did. I mean, Alan had

181
00:10:46,520 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: a couple of big turnovers and Burrow in particularly, who

182
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,840
Speaker 1: I've been telling people I think is the hottest quarterback

183
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: in the league right now, the guy you don't want

184
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,439
Speaker 1: to face, that cold blooded assassin who just but he

185
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,280
Speaker 1: wasn't that good last night. He was good enough, but

186
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 1: he didn't win that ball game for them. Trevor Lawrence

187
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: won this one. I thought we saw the elite quarterback

188
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:07,679
Speaker 1: come out. Yeah, no question. And I thought what was

189
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,360
Speaker 1: impressive was as the game got bigger and closer and

190
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,960
Speaker 1: the pressure increase, because seven there was no pressure none.

191
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: It was I would say, a gift. But there's a

192
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: feeling in games. You knew if they executed on that drive,

193
00:11:24,760 --> 00:11:27,120
Speaker 1: they're probably gonna get down to score. Where it got tougher,

194
00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:30,319
Speaker 1: he got better, and he made bigger throws, and he

195
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: made bigger plays, and his pois rose um that that

196
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:38,559
Speaker 1: was impressive, next level of generational stuff. You know. Right

197
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: before kickoff, I was standing on the deck there in

198
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 1: the West Club and the towels were twirling and they

199
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: had just done the national anthem, and I thought, my goodness,

200
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:51,199
Speaker 1: what incredible environment and how hard it's going to be

201
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: for the Chargers. And do you know the thing that

202
00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: the Chargers did so well as they took that away

203
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: in the first half, they had everybody standing there with

204
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: a shocked expression on their face, wondering, okay. And then

205
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: the minute that the second half began and they stopped

206
00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:08,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers and forced them, you know, forced them off

207
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 1: the field and got Trevor back out on the field.

208
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:14,440
Speaker 1: The towels were twirling again. Crowd hung in there when

209
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: there was no reason for them too. That was resilient

210
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:20,520
Speaker 1: and extraordinary in its own right. Yeah, that was I

211
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: kept watching from the press box and even when they

212
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: were getting you know, just killed in the first half,

213
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: the crowd was stunned, but they were they were still there.

214
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:36,439
Speaker 1: They weren't the swass of empty seats, and they were

215
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:39,719
Speaker 1: waiting for the They're waiting for the moment. And I

216
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:43,400
Speaker 1: very player would tell you the crowd twelfth Man all

217
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:45,600
Speaker 1: that to say, whatever the crowd mattered the other night,

218
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,920
Speaker 1: wedn't leave. Yeah, it didn't leave. In Fred Taylor and

219
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: I were watching from our spot in the West Club

220
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 1: and we're watching the ramps and there's there's a couple

221
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 1: of people that were leaving because it was cold and

222
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,120
Speaker 1: they were older. But the crowd stayed and they were

223
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: there in the post game and was remarkable. I think

224
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: years from now, when we look back at at at

225
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 1: Jacksonville and how it became the Green Bay of the South,

226
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: I think we'll look back at this game and say

227
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: this is where it all. And of course Trevor walking

228
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: into waffle house where it all came together these last

229
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: couple of I was made a point in the ozone

230
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 1: one of the last couple of days. This does I meant,

231
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, but it's not as noticeable as what

232
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,080
Speaker 1: you're talking about. My guests is, in fifteen twenty years,

233
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:37,079
Speaker 1: whoever's doing our jobs, we'll get emails from Vans saying,

234
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, some fan in Omaha became a Jaguars fan

235
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:43,400
Speaker 1: this weekend because you're playing on Prime Time. You're watching

236
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: a quarterback's seeing the overcome adversity, and you're like, holy,

237
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 1: this is unbelievable, you know. So my guess is they

238
00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 1: gained some young fans who we won't hear from for

239
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: ten years. And the teal is cool and different, and

240
00:13:57,559 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: it made this whole thing pop on TV. All right,

241
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,640
Speaker 1: we'll take We've got some great highlights to run through

242
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,480
Speaker 1: when we come back to Jags Drive Time on a

243
00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:08,480
Speaker 1: Monday morning, the Martin Luther King Holiday. I hope you're

244
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: enjoying some downtime today and thanks for joining us, and

245
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: welcome back to Jacks Drive Time. Let's go right to

246
00:14:20,440 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: the highlighting. We'll start with the low lights here is

247
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 1: a look at the first half or most of the

248
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: first half through the eyes of Drevor Lawrence to spend

249
00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 1: a ton of money in free agency, and it's paid

250
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: off off the fake. That's not the way it's deflected,

251
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: and it's intercepted. Drew Trankle comes away with the ball

252
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: and the charges are the big early turnover fourth and seven.

253
00:14:45,280 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: It comes extra pressure. But the passes intercepted at the

254
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: twenty six yard line. It's a sante Samuel Lawrence. Again,

255
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 1: it's intercepted, and that's a s I think Samuel Learning

256
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: said in the pocket firish and that is going to

257
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: be thinking, yeah something, Samuel, What are they gonna say here?

258
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: You know, John um Sunday was the twenty three anniversary

259
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:21,360
Speaker 1: of six seven, and I wrote in my quick thoughts,

260
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: now you know how the Dolphins felt, right, everything went

261
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:29,800
Speaker 1: wrong for them that day, and everything went wrong up

262
00:15:29,840 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: to this point for the Jaguars in the first half

263
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: of that bowl game. Yeah, and just very quickly what

264
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier, You never want to be rating interceptions

265
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:42,800
Speaker 1: at halftime in terms of importance because that's not good.

266
00:15:43,120 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: But out of his four, the first two tip pass

267
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: was sort of a fluke. Uh. The second was clearly interference.

268
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not wanting to criticize refs, but they

269
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: it was a tough night, and that one was clearly interference,

270
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: and it was fourth down. It wasn't a momentum killer.

271
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: And then even the fourth one was third and ten.

272
00:16:07,320 --> 00:16:10,160
Speaker 1: And if you're coaching, you don't hate third and ten

273
00:16:10,240 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: interceptions the way you do second and three interceptions. There's

274
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: a difference. And I'm not I'm not excusing him, but

275
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: what I give Trevor a lot of credit for again,

276
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,000
Speaker 1: you're talking about poison the moment. He realized what I'm

277
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,680
Speaker 1: talking about very quickly and said in the post game

278
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: when he analyzed it quickly, he didn't feel like he

279
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 1: wasn't seeing the right things except for the one assante

280
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,120
Speaker 1: where he cut underneath it. I think they were in zone.

281
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: He thought they were in man. It was a good play,

282
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 1: but he really only thought there was one bad pick there.

283
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 1: What's one thing for that to be true. It's another

284
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:47,280
Speaker 1: thing for him to poise, respond to it and then

285
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,120
Speaker 1: play better, which he did. Alright, So up to this point,

286
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: now Jack's down twenty seven nothing, Trevor was throwing the

287
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,720
Speaker 1: ball all over the field. He was ten of twenty

288
00:16:55,800 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 1: four into that twenty seven nothing deficit, but then beginning

289
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 1: on that will drive of the half, he started an

290
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: eighteen of twenty three for two d and eleven yards

291
00:17:06,400 --> 00:17:09,720
Speaker 1: and four touchdown. String of brilliance that didn't end until

292
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 1: the ball game did. Let's take a look at the

293
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: first three of those touchdowns in the pocket bars and

294
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 1: then the talk in the touchsdown heat in in the backfield,

295
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 1: Lawrence looking on their pressure throws Winter and making the

296
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:37,719
Speaker 1: catch on Lawrence protected well going open again, Sat Jones

297
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 1: should the touchdown. And so we get to the end

298
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,480
Speaker 1: of the third quarter, and I think, look, you talked

299
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,359
Speaker 1: about the Ingram touchdown. It was a great play, and

300
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: those two obviously have developed a lot of chemistry, but

301
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:52,680
Speaker 1: it's it's the Marvin Jones touchdown where Asante Samuel was

302
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: on fire and on this particular play or they got

303
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,400
Speaker 1: him because they knew what he does. Marvin Jones broke

304
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:03,800
Speaker 1: his ankles and he's a gambler, and uh, he he

305
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: wanted the first han't lost in the second. And uh,

306
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 1: with comebacks, I've covered a lot of comebacks because the

307
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,119
Speaker 1: cold teams that covered did these kind of things a

308
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: lot um and somebody asked me after it was this

309
00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:18,679
Speaker 1: grace coming back we've ever seen. Obviously, it's it's up

310
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,480
Speaker 1: their importance and all that. But what was striking is

311
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: they stayed calm in the moment and at no point

312
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 1: did they need a miracle to make it happen, if

313
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: you follow me, because they kept scoring. And when you

314
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: looked at the clock once they got the Marvin Jones

315
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:39,840
Speaker 1: touchdown with five minutes to go in the game in

316
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:43,120
Speaker 1: the third quarter. Uh, A lot of teams in these

317
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,840
Speaker 1: moments think they're running out of time more quickly than

318
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: they are. I'm assuming that Doug Peterson did a fantastic

319
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 1: job on the sidelines of saying, there's time, just play it,

320
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: play it out, don't panic, make your plays, and you

321
00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,240
Speaker 1: can get back in it. And then all of a

322
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: sudden it turned you got Za Jones and it's a game.

323
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,440
Speaker 1: And there was a great shot of Doug on the

324
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: sideline when they got called for too much time and

325
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: he had to back up five yards and he's stay

326
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: just just steady, Eddie, you know, let's just keep doing

327
00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: and that's everything in those moments, that's what he is.

328
00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 1: That's all right. So let's take a look at the

329
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:20,639
Speaker 1: fourth touchdown, because this is where the whole game turns,

330
00:19:20,920 --> 00:19:24,800
Speaker 1: not just Trevor finding Christian Kirk, but also Joey Bosa

331
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: losing his cool. Now, Lawrence fires and textown full start.

332
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 1: I don't know we were talking. It's Joey Bosa throwing

333
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 1: his helmet, but too defense number, that's dr War electors

334
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: for two, triaple one, y'all gone for two, and Lawrence

335
00:19:56,440 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: reaches over on stories. I have a totally new perspective

336
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 1: on that two point conversion, by the way, after after

337
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: watching Tyler Huntley last night and what happened. No, not

338
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 1: nearly as easy as it looks. And of course Doug

339
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 1: Peterson said in the early morning hours of Sunday, had

340
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: Joey Bosa not drawn that foul and given them the

341
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: ball closer to the line of scrimmage, he might not

342
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,560
Speaker 1: have gone for the win, which is what this was

343
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: trying to set up the wind. I love the aggressive this, yeah,

344
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,399
Speaker 1: I I uh. I made sure to ask Doug about

345
00:20:28,480 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: that after the game in the presser, because in the

346
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: press box everybody was sort of going nuts about this.

347
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:36,040
Speaker 1: Oh you can't do that, it's it's too much of

348
00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:41,720
Speaker 1: a gamble. And I guess from listening to Doug and

349
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:44,119
Speaker 1: trying to understand what he is as a head coach

350
00:20:44,320 --> 00:20:48,760
Speaker 1: for the past what nine, you know, eleven months now, Um,

351
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: as soon as as soon as mostly got the penalty,

352
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:56,080
Speaker 1: I knew he would go. I shouldn't say I knew

353
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 1: he might not have done it, But it didn't surprise

354
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: me a bit because he believes in certain things, and

355
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: he believes that when you get your advantages go so

356
00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,280
Speaker 1: far up. When you get that it's a yard compared

357
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,680
Speaker 1: to two. I mean, you've got a six six quarterback.

358
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,440
Speaker 1: The odds are in your favorite. Now, it's not a

359
00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,959
Speaker 1: guarantee it'll work, but over the course of time, if

360
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,199
Speaker 1: you run that kind of play with Trevor Lawrence from

361
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 1: the one yard line hundred times, I think Doug believes

362
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:22,879
Speaker 1: you're gonna score ninety five of them. So that's how

363
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:24,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna play football around here, all right. So at

364
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,480
Speaker 1: this point it's all been about the offense, Trevor's troubles

365
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: in the first half, then the brilliance that we've seen.

366
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: But with left, the defense still had to find a

367
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,879
Speaker 1: way to stop Justin Herbert. And when Herbert had been

368
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:38,320
Speaker 1: on even though they were short fields. He was money

369
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: in the first half in particular, So the defense, which

370
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,080
Speaker 1: had played well in the second half, had to play

371
00:21:43,119 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: its best football in this final opportunity to try to

372
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: get this come from behind when completed, and boy did

373
00:21:50,160 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: they starting with Roy Robertson Harris. Why is five yard

374
00:21:53,119 --> 00:22:00,879
Speaker 1: line Herbert under pressure? He'd get away sacked at the

375
00:22:01,000 --> 00:22:07,879
Speaker 1: eighteen Royal Robertson Harris and b boy Roy Robertson Harris

376
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:12,360
Speaker 1: Manner just mammon has played some great football down down

377
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 1: the stretch here for this football team going back put

378
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: that game against the Jets, even the Cowboys, and he

379
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: just doesn't get the credit that he deserves. But big

380
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: powerful and sets everyone else up. Yeah, and you know

381
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:27,119
Speaker 1: the pass rush should take me out and throw me

382
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: in the river. Because I've been saying for the last

383
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: four or five weeks, I keep writing, not a great

384
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: pass rush. Well, when the moments have been the biggest

385
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: in the last month, it's been a great pass rush.

386
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say any single player is an all pro elite,

387
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: but when quarterbacks dropped back to pass and clutch situations

388
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: against this team right now, they are under pressure. They

389
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 1: are disrupted. That's what pass rush is supposed to do.

390
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 1: That first down play was mammoth because all of a sudden,

391
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,439
Speaker 1: the charges are behind the chain and they ended up

392
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: going three and out and punting giving a ball back.

393
00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,640
Speaker 1: Didn't everyone in the stadium just know what was coming

394
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:08,080
Speaker 1: from Trevor Lawrence. They got all the way into Chargers

395
00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: territory and faced fourth down and one. What a great call,

396
00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 1: what a great play design. This fourth down was three

397
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:22,840
Speaker 1: backs behind him to the outside E ten first down

398
00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 1: and it's Tom Moore. It season ball the call. Okay,

399
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 1: I know we're running out of time, and I can

400
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 1: take it half an hour talking about this play because

401
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 1: it'll be you know, it's it's a rushmore play and

402
00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: franchise history right there with David Gerard's fourth down run

403
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: to set up the game winner in Pittsburgh and oh seven.

404
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:45,600
Speaker 1: But think about this, Brian and I. It was crazy

405
00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 1: after the game, so I didn't get a chance to

406
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,360
Speaker 1: pull dug aside and talk about it. He calls time

407
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: out because he doesn't like the formation. Then they go

408
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: to a play. You know, I haven't gone back and

409
00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,520
Speaker 1: watched every play of every game. I don't think they

410
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: I don't think they've run that formation this that's the

411
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:05,000
Speaker 1: first time they run. So you're talking about putting Travis

412
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: Eton on the left side of formation, which brings at

413
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: least two extra Chargers defenders to that side. You said, okay,

414
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: you put three backs in the backfield. Well, they had

415
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 1: et n and two tight ends in the backfield, and

416
00:24:19,160 --> 00:24:23,480
Speaker 1: you have the guts to run a sweep behind that

417
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:29,120
Speaker 1: designed to look like a sneak, and you don't run

418
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,760
Speaker 1: the sneak, which again you're banking. It was an incredible call.

419
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,520
Speaker 1: And think about the situation. You've got thirty seconds and

420
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: then you tell your team, Okay, we're running this play

421
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: that you haven't run yet this year in the biggest

422
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:47,960
Speaker 1: situation of the season, go do it special. Well, yeah,

423
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: in a sense, you're pulling out a play. It was

424
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: like magnitude for them. And this is even sort of

425
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: bigger than Philly Special Philly Specials in the first half

426
00:24:57,800 --> 00:25:00,360
Speaker 1: where if it if it doesn't work, okay, you you've

427
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:03,119
Speaker 1: got them pinned. Season is over if you don't hit

428
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,680
Speaker 1: that um. And by the way, Chris Man hurts and

429
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:08,680
Speaker 1: z Jones blocking Kyle van Noy and the safety that

430
00:25:08,800 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: came up whose name I can't recall at the top

431
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: of my head. And and that just sealed it for

432
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,679
Speaker 1: that What an amazing play. Here's the coaching element though,

433
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,680
Speaker 1: and everybody who reads me listens to me. I sort

434
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:22,639
Speaker 1: of mocked sometimes fans thinking coaching is is everything in

435
00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: the NFL. But at that moment two, you know, at

436
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:31,280
Speaker 1: some point you had to drill that play a couple

437
00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 1: of times this year, not knowing if you'd ever use it,

438
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:36,320
Speaker 1: and then knowing at that point, Okay, this one that

439
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: we drilled. I'd love to know when when the last

440
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,760
Speaker 1: time they practiced for the formation was. Because we've never

441
00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: seen in the game. I I just again, out of

442
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:47,720
Speaker 1: all the moments in the game, once I started thinking

443
00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: about that, with ten seconds to go from the play

444
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: clock until that team has run back out on the field,

445
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 1: you're saying, okay, go with that one that we haven't

446
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:57,840
Speaker 1: seen all year, And here's the game winner and the

447
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: moment that we talked about off the top of the show.

448
00:26:00,200 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: Will I can set their sights likely on Kansas City.

449
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: Here we go for the Lord and you see the

450
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: ball starts sliding a little bit to the right. Yeah,

451
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: And but there was no way that crowd's mind that

452
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: thing that goes for help, and it did and gave

453
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: us one of the most incredible moments. I think it's

454
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 1: I have said it is the second right. The bigger

455
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,399
Speaker 1: win was in Denver after the nineties six season because

456
00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 1: it got them to the a f C Championship Game.

457
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: But this one is clearly the biggest home win in

458
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: franchise history and right there with the biggest of the

459
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,520
Speaker 1: big We'll take a break, come back with hot takes

460
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:53,399

464
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,240
Speaker 1: We're at t I A Bankfield on a Monday. Hope

465
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: you're enjoying some time this Martin Luther King holiday with

466
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:15,120
Speaker 1: family and friends. Time now for hot takes and we'll

467
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:19,760
Speaker 1: start with you John Well, Um, this was better for

468
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:23,440
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence than if he had been perfect. And for

469
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,000
Speaker 1: all the social media noise in the first half about

470
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: how bad he was, how I was getting emails Brian saying, well,

471
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: clearly we misjudged him. He's not good etcetera, etcetera. And

472
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,960
Speaker 1: it is good to show you never judge in the

473
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 1: NFL based on a small example sample size. Um. But

474
00:27:45,320 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: this is better for him in terms of how I

475
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: feel about him as a player. Then if he had

476
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: come out and had a perfect rating and been great

477
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,960
Speaker 1: from the start, because if he doesn't melt under that,

478
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,600
Speaker 1: he never will. Uh, And you were going I wrote

479
00:28:06,680 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: this week I covered uh, Peyton Manning for four m

480
00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: v ps um and I also covered him in a

481
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:19,399
Speaker 1: ton of bad losses, a ton of bad starts, games

482
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:23,560
Speaker 1: he wished he had had back. UM point being, you

483
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: are not going to play quarterback in this league and

484
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: be perfect. I want to watch Tom Brady for four

485
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 1: interceptions that six times in his career. Yeah, so you

486
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,359
Speaker 1: were going to have moments like Trevor Lawrence had in

487
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 1: the first half. It's how you respond. And I don't

488
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:40,560
Speaker 1: know that any quarterback NFL history has ever responded to

489
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: a start like that when they finished like that. I'm sure.

490
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 1: I'm sure there is, but it's up there. I want

491
00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:47,200
Speaker 1: to ask you about about Manning real quick, because it

492
00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: came to my mind. I remember because the Jaguars ended

493
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: the season. Tom Coughlin's last game was in Indianapolis after

494
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: the two thousand two seasons, and that that team, that

495
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:58,440
Speaker 1: Colts team went into New York for wild card game

496
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: the next Sunday and their doors blown off forty one

497
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 1: to nothing. That was Manning's fifth NFL season, and I

498
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:05,720
Speaker 1: think if you talk to a lot of people, they'd

499
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: be stunned that in his fifth season he threw two

500
00:29:08,960 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: interceptions that day and they were they couldn't do anything.

501
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: That was Tony Dungee, that was Peyton Manning and they

502
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: got their doors blown off. At that point he was

503
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 1: owing three in the playoffs. People were questioning, and of

504
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,640
Speaker 1: course that started the run. The amusing thing was in

505
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: the press box that day. They were prominent national writers

506
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,960
Speaker 1: telling me, Colts will never be any good. Many will

507
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: never be any good until he stops doing all that

508
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:36,920
Speaker 1: junk at the line of scrimmage. And yet that was

509
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: a junk that he did, and that again all that um,

510
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: but point being, uh, it is how you respond because

511
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,520
Speaker 1: this league is too hard to play perfectly all the time.

512
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: The fact that he responded like that, Um, that's a

513
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 1: mental toughness chip. That guy's not every quarterback ask no no,

514
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,280
Speaker 1: And that brings me to my hot tache, which is

515
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:04,040
Speaker 1: not every coach can do this right. Brandon Staley may

516
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 1: or may not be a long term or a good

517
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:09,800
Speaker 1: NFL head coach. But when I look at at the

518
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:14,760
Speaker 1: contrast between Doug Peterson, who has done it, and Brandon Staley,

519
00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: who was doing it for the first time, you have

520
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: to question his decision in Denver to keep playing his

521
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: starters into the third and fourth quarter. Doug knew right

522
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: now he had a lead, but he knew to get

523
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:26,840
Speaker 1: his guys out in the second half. In Houston, he

524
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 1: could very easily been criticized if anybody had gotten dinged

525
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 1: up to the point that they couldn't have played the

526
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 1: next week in that important game against the Titans. He knew.

527
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 1: Staley obviously didn't know. And then here last week, they

528
00:30:38,640 --> 00:30:40,440
Speaker 1: ran the ball eight times in the second half, John,

529
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 1: they were up twenty point, they could have made it

530
00:30:44,520 --> 00:30:48,080
Speaker 1: much more difficult for the Jaguars to have enough time. Right,

531
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: you're down twenty points with thirty minutes to play. Hey,

532
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: that calculus doesn't work out very often, and yet Staley

533
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 1: so often. And I'm watching the television broadcast at the

534
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: same time that I'm looking at the field and I

535
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:04,480
Speaker 1: looking at a guy who clearly didn't have the confidence

536
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: level of what was going on around him that Doug

537
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:09,720
Speaker 1: Peterson did. So not every guy can be a head

538
00:31:09,760 --> 00:31:13,960
Speaker 1: coach and and play like this, and it speaks to

539
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:22,120
Speaker 1: what a higher shot made. Again, we don't know everything

540
00:31:22,200 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: that goes on in the sidelines, but I know in

541
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: that situation the calmness of Doug Peterson h was a

542
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 1: huge had to have been a huge factor in this

543
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 1: team's poison. Really to come back. Um, they've been in

544
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: the last five games at home, they've trailed by accumulative

545
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 1: eight points seventeen, seventeen, nine, ten, and twenty seven. Come

546
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: back and want all of them. You don't do that

547
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: if if your head coach is panicking on the side.

548
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:53,560
Speaker 1: And I bring this up right, not to to hit

549
00:31:53,600 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: on stately because I like the guy. I enjoyed listening

550
00:31:56,040 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 1: to him last week and I think maybe he has

551
00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,400
Speaker 1: some ability to be a head coach, but to simply

552
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: point out that Doug Peterson is the guy, and what

553
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 1: an advantage the Jaguars had on Saturday night to have

554
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: Doug on their sidelines. Now this week the advantage is

555
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 1: negated because you've got the master on the other side.

556
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: So this week will be an interesting storyline. But to

557
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,240
Speaker 1: have Doug going up against Andy Reid gives him a

558
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: great opportunity gradually thanking the gatest uh tise advantage to Peterson.

559
00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 1: You're starting to talk about a impressive playoff record. I

560
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:32,120
Speaker 1: mean again, we could go on and on about Doug

561
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 1: fantastic tub. All right, we'll take a break and come

562
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,120
Speaker 1: back and wrap the show up. Before we do, though,

563
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 1: the Jacksonville Jaguars would like to thank j e A's

564
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: frontline teams for all they do to help our community thrive.

565
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: Please help us recognize j e as Frontline Team of

566
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 1: the Game, representing the two thousand employees who work hard

567
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,000
Speaker 1: to serve you each and every day. And by the way,

568
00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 1: our pick for the Jaguars Front Lineman of the Game

569
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:58,560
Speaker 1: is Roy Robertson Harris for his four tackle, five pressure

570
00:32:58,640 --> 00:33:03,120
Speaker 1: sack performance. He was so incredibly good and made an

571
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:06,800
Speaker 1: incredible difference on Saturday night when the game was on

572
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 1: the line. Thanks to j e A and congratulations to

573
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 1: Roy Robertson. Here's We'll take a break, come back and

574
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 1: wrap up the show after this. I know we've been

575
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: in that situation before. Not that many points, but you know,

576
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 1: similar situations. So that's the thing, I mean, just the

577
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: belief in this team. It's kind of I mean, it's

578
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: really cool to see what what can happen when when

579
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,240
Speaker 1: everybody believes and you know, I wouldn't have been able

580
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 1: to do what I did today and what the offense

581
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,080
Speaker 1: was able to do in the second half to bounce back.

582
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: Also the defense, if we didn't believe in one another.

583
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 1: Um that was you know, through four picks in the

584
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:42,440
Speaker 1: first half, and those guys beside me on offense and

585
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: the guys on the other side of the ball didn't

586
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: never lose faith in me. And that's that's that's one

587
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,840
Speaker 1: thing that makes it easier when you know you've got

588
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: guys that believe in you no matter what the circumstances are. Well,

589
00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,320
Speaker 1: our program today is brought to you by Magellan who

590
00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:58,920
Speaker 1: Moves the freight. Magellan Transport voted coolest office space in Jacksonville.

591
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: Apply online at www dot Magellan Logistics dot com and

592
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: help them move the freight. Remember Brian last year when

593
00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 1: uh the knock on Trevor Lawrence as well, he's never

594
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:18,840
Speaker 1: had a fourth quarter comeback. Okay, well check that box.

595
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: You know, one thing it's going to be interesting is

596
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,719
Speaker 1: you are going to see this home crowd get used

597
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 1: to the fact that they're never out of it. Right.

598
00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: You will see people stay in the seats. You will

599
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 1: see people come to the game's expecting to win, which

600
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: we haven't had around here in a long time. It's

601
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:38,600
Speaker 1: it's not hyperbole to suggest that this was a moment, right,

602
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,840
Speaker 1: a moment where everything can turn. I saw someone on

603
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,279
Speaker 1: sports illustrator Think connor or wrote this morning that Jacksonville

604
00:34:45,480 --> 00:34:50,399
Speaker 1: took that step towards something different. Yeah, completely different. Yeah,

605
00:34:50,560 --> 00:34:54,080
Speaker 1: I don't know in a national perspective. Yeah, and a

606
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: two straight primetime games where you have had incredible finished

607
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's remarkably a part of the only

608
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:05,319
Speaker 1: comparison to franchise history is ninety six and maybe it's

609
00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: time to stop comparing it because it's it's its own thing. Uh,

610
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: but the last five home games have been remarkable. I've

611
00:35:13,080 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 1: never seen five straight games like that where you sort

612
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 1: of started. If you think about it, the Raiders victories

613
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,239
Speaker 1: seemed like sort of a one off. Okay, well they're

614
00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:27,359
Speaker 1: still we three and whatever they were to now where

615
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:28,959
Speaker 1: you look back on the whole thing as a trend

616
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,800
Speaker 1: of this team is never out of it. The defining

617
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 1: trade of this team is not necessarily defense offense, even Trevor.

618
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:40,480
Speaker 1: It's this ability to overcome adversity and continue to believe

619
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:43,319
Speaker 1: in itself. It's amazing. There were three and six after

620
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 1: the win over the Raiders, and they went to Kansas

621
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:49,080
Speaker 1: City the next week, and we're beating seventeen and since

622
00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 1: then or seven and one. I just want one more

623
00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 1: thing on because we can keep going on it, and

624
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 1: we probably will at some point. I remember getting on

625
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:58,600
Speaker 1: the charter and flying out to Denver and and people

626
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:00,840
Speaker 1: forget that that Denver Broncos team was probably gonna be

627
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:02,920
Speaker 1: the first team to win three Super Bowls in a row.

628
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 1: They were that good with Terrell Davis and Shannon Sharpe

629
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: and Ed McCaffrey and Rod Smith and of course John

630
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: Elway and a great loaded defense. And the Jaguars went

631
00:36:11,480 --> 00:36:13,000
Speaker 1: out there and fell down twelve to nothing. But I

632
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:15,319
Speaker 1: remember on the charter thinking, how's this gonna match up,

633
00:36:15,320 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: How they're gonna stop this, how they're gonna stop that?

634
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: And and you have the same thoughts this week. How

635
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:20,960
Speaker 1: do you hand them homes? How do you handle Chris

636
00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:24,359
Speaker 1: Jones and we'll talk about that on Wednesday and Thursday. Um,

637
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,320
Speaker 1: they fell down in the game twelve to nothing and

638
00:36:26,400 --> 00:36:29,439
Speaker 1: they want and that's the biggest win in franchise history.

639
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:33,160
Speaker 1: So before you start thinking about what's possible or what's

640
00:36:33,200 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: not possible, how are they gonna do it? Just no,

641
00:36:35,239 --> 00:36:37,360
Speaker 1: it's been done, so we'll see. Well, I think the

642
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,360
Speaker 1: big thing Doug will tell this team on Wednesday some

643
00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:44,320
Speaker 1: way this week you lost out there seventeen and I

644
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,160
Speaker 1: lost the turnover of battle three h there you go

645
00:36:47,920 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: lost to talk about John Osan appreciate you. That'll do

646
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,760
Speaker 1: it for Jags Drive time on Monday. We're back on Wednesday,

647
00:36:54,120 --> 00:36:59,440
Speaker 1: Jaguars Chiefs four thirty on NBC on Saturday afternoon, and

648
00:36:59,560 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 1: we'll see on Wednesday. Everybody
