WEBVTT - Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 99: Mental Toughness Allowed the Jaguars To Secure a Win in Week 5 0:00:17.400 --> 0:00:20.400 Welcome to Jagsan today and Nnanni Stevens our first victory 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.320 Monday of the twenty twenty four NFL season. Brian Textan 0:00:23.360 --> 0:00:24.840 and John Osier are with me today. We're going to 0:00:24.880 --> 0:00:26.960 recap all of the stuff for you from yesterday. It 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.160 was not perfect, but it is a lot more fun 0:00:29.200 --> 0:00:31.360 to go over things after win. So let's start out 0:00:31.400 --> 0:00:34.360 with big thing Number one, that is spark. Brian Thomas Jr. 0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:37.320 Has been amazing for this team so far this season, 0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.800 and he was a huge spark with that eighty five 0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.560 yard touchdown catch and run in this game. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:43.800 Brian, we talked. 0:00:43.560 --> 0:00:46.000 About how impressed we've been with the rookie, but he 0:00:46.120 --> 0:00:48.159 really was the spark to get things going well. 0:00:48.159 --> 0:00:51.839 Listening, Fred Taylor and I were together when he started 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.960 the route and Fred said, he's going to have a 0:00:53.960 --> 0:00:57.360 big play here. The most impressive speed I have seen 0:00:57.560 --> 0:01:00.760 in forever. Fact, Jimmy Smith told Fred after words he 0:01:00.840 --> 0:01:02.640 thought this guy had a chance to be the fastest 0:01:02.680 --> 0:01:06.280 Jaguar ever, and that's two of the fastest Jaguars ever. 0:01:06.520 --> 0:01:10.320 He ran so fast down the field that he eliminated 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:15.000 the safety's angle by just outrunning him down The Colt sideline. 0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.319 It was as impressive a play as I can remember. 0:01:17.360 --> 0:01:19.800 See. Yeah, he's got a chance to be special. And 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:24.160 it's what's interesting to me. I've seen a lot of 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:27.840 fast receivers. He does other things well too. He's not 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:31.039 just He's capable of doing more than just beating you deep. 0:01:32.480 --> 0:01:34.319 He looks like a guy. If you get in the 0:01:34.360 --> 0:01:36.800 ball two yards, he can turn that into nine or 0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.080 ten yards. He's a football player, and he's about to 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:41.039 become a really good one. 0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:43.880 He's number one guy. He is a legit number one receiver. 0:01:44.000 --> 0:01:44.880 They haven't had that here. 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.400 Since Jimmy Absolute. Let's talk elsewhere on the offense. Fire, 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:49.240 we saw a. 0:01:49.240 --> 0:01:51.760 Ton of fire out of tank things for yesterday. He 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.280 talks after the game a little bit about why he 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:56.760 was so motivated time the end zone and go up 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:59.040 against the Colts all week. 0:01:59.160 --> 0:02:02.840 This week finished and I ran out there, Okay, so 0:02:02.880 --> 0:02:04.920 that I said I won't be gas and I won't 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.200 I I would scope the little help my team win. 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.079 Uh that was the biggest thing. 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:11.440 And another thing was like. 0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.920 Last year con started off with the coats of my career. 0:02:15.720 --> 0:02:16.400 I didn't like it. 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.160 And uh, I kind of took this game a little 0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:21.120 person off and uh, like I said, it's just I'm 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:22.839 very blessed to be here and I'm blessed. 0:02:22.560 --> 0:02:23.280 For his opportunity. 0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:25.200 John. 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:28.640 That Colts game early last year was tough for Tank. 0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:31.480 You know, some of the the ball going off his hands, 0:02:31.560 --> 0:02:34.760 the return fumble, fumbles, things like that of that nature. 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.240 That dealt he dealt with all of last season. So 0:02:37.280 --> 0:02:39.160 he took it personally yesterday and you could tell, Yeah, 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:42.880 that was a uh bespectacled Tank. Pigsby right, very wise 0:02:43.480 --> 0:02:43.880 seen that. 0:02:43.919 --> 0:02:48.600 Look h he I thought all last year Tank got 0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:53.359 kind of a tough uh break or two uh every 0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:55.160 say he was a fumbler and he wasn't. He wasn't 0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:56.520 doing things well. I thought he had a couple of 0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.800 bad breaks against the Colts. His season started off poorly. 0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:03.440 Thing he was talking about with the fumble, the weird 0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:08.280 fumbling Indianapolis. This guy's really good. And again it goes 0:03:08.320 --> 0:03:12.800 to show you you cannot judge rookies based on just 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:17.600 their first year. He's second only to Brian Thomas in 0:03:17.720 --> 0:03:20.720 terms of a dynamic player for this offense right now. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:22.639 It's an impressive comeback. Brian. 0:03:22.880 --> 0:03:25.720 You know, I really I can't decide whether I like 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:29.359 the nineteen yard touchdown run which was all power, or 0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:31.640 the sixty five yarder which had a little fred to 0:03:31.720 --> 0:03:34.760 him because he cut it so hard back and just 0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:39.040 ran through tackles. It was incredibly impressive. And you know, 0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:44.600 he had fourteen touches yesterday and Travis Etn had twelve touches. 0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.520 What will be interesting to see is how Doug and 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:51.720 Press Taylor will deploy these two guys situationally, how many carries, 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:54.360 so many touches they will get. When you have a 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:56.760 guy like Etn who's capable of going the distance on 0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:59.200 any given play, and now a guy who plays with 0:03:59.320 --> 0:04:02.440 power and can go sixty five yards, man, you've got 0:04:02.440 --> 0:04:04.960 some real weapons and gives the offense a chance not 0:04:05.080 --> 0:04:08.000 just to stay on track, but to really push its 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.080 way and do the things they want to do, to 0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:12.480 be aggressive and set the temple of a game instead 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:13.720 of just taking what's given to them. 0:04:13.880 --> 0:04:14.680 Good options to have. 0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:17.600 Absolutely, let's do our final big thing this morning, Extinguished. 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.000 We've talked all the first four weeks of the season 0:04:20.040 --> 0:04:22.839 how the Jaguars had opportunities to win these games, but 0:04:22.880 --> 0:04:26.039 they could not finish these games. Friends, the first time 0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:28.600 we've seen them respond to adversity and get a win. 0:04:28.800 --> 0:04:30.680 Well, they made big plays on that final drive. I 0:04:30.720 --> 0:04:33.719 mean de Ernest Johnson set it up Deanners Johnson with 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:36.719 an eight yard carry where he just wouldn't go down. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.520 That put the Jaguars ahead of the chains and allowed 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.560 them to take some chances. And then of course the 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:44.840 throw to Christian Kirk, which made it a sub fifty 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.440 yard field goal for the rookie. Even though we all 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.360 know that the rookie john has a big leg, he's 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.320 got a fifty three yard of this season. I think 0:04:52.360 --> 0:04:56.240 getting it inside fifty yards boosted his confidence because I 0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:57.760 don't know what you were thinking, but I'm thinking, man, 0:04:57.800 --> 0:05:00.320 if he misses this, now they got to They got 0:05:00.360 --> 0:05:03.800 a really short road to navigate with timeouts and some clock. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:05.320 This is a huge. 0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:05.920 Kick for this kid. 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:10.200 So Kirk's catch set them up, and you know, good 0:05:10.200 --> 0:05:12.360 for them. They lost a game that way last week, 0:05:12.520 --> 0:05:15.120 they won it that way this week. The word that 0:05:15.120 --> 0:05:17.880 I've been asking that I've been talking about resilience. They 0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:19.599 were resilient yesterday in a big way. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:20.760 Yeah, I tell you what I was thinking. I was 0:05:20.760 --> 0:05:21.920 thinking they were going to lose the game if he 0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.760 makes the field goal, because that's what usually happens when 0:05:24.760 --> 0:05:27.160 you miss in that situation, short field, do you get it? 0:05:28.000 --> 0:05:31.960 I thought of all the important things having for Trevor 0:05:32.000 --> 0:05:35.640 Lawrence yesterday, yes hitting the deep balls. I had faith 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:37.560 that he was eventually going to hit those deep balls. 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.400 Sometimes those come and go, and it's like taking a 0:05:40.920 --> 0:05:43.440 half court shot in basketball. Sometimes you're making symtims you don't. 0:05:44.200 --> 0:05:47.120 I thought the last drive was really important, the throw 0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.800 to Kirk. He handled that with poise. It's the kind 0:05:50.800 --> 0:05:53.799 of drive a big time quarterback should get a field 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.480 goal with or a touchdown. He hasn't always done that. 0:05:57.120 --> 0:05:59.440 I think that may resonate going forward as much as 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:00.360 the two long asses. 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:02.719 All right, stay, let's here on JAG's am.

It wasn't 0:06:51.640 --> 0:06:53.600 easy that fight for it, and I think that makes 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:55.000 it a little more worth it. You guys who talked 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:56.919 a lot about this team, and finally. 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.120 We got some good highlights to go over today. 0:06:58.200 --> 0:06:58.520 Let's go. 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:00.240 Let's do this all right. Let's start out early. 0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:03.040 This is probably not the best highlight so far of 0:07:03.040 --> 0:07:04.719 the day because it was something that they've had an 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.040 issue with, that short completion on third down and then 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:08.920 the failed fourth down that they went for. 0:07:08.960 --> 0:07:10.080 Instead of taking the points. 0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.840 That's something we've become accustomed to because of how Doug 0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:15.960 Pearson rolls. But Brian, I was a little like, here 0:07:16.000 --> 0:07:17.600 we go again at this point or what. 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:18.920 We're talking about the one to Breton Strange. 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.520 Yeah, yeah, and in particular because I think most people 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.680 saw that Gave Davis was wide open in the middle, 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:27.640 and my, my, are we going this way again? Was 0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:29.680 is the quarterback going to see the field today? Now 0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:32.280 it turned out he saw the field really well, just 0:07:32.440 --> 0:07:33.640 not on this particular play. 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.200 And I think at this point, obviously we know Doug's 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:38.720 going to go for it. I understand that if you 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.080 get it as it always has been, then it's not 0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:41.480 an issue. 0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:42.640 It's because he didn't get listening. 0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.520 They won the game, but at that moment, going forward 0:07:45.520 --> 0:07:48.920 and fourth down just it felt desperate. But that's what 0:07:49.120 --> 0:07:51.960 Doug likes to do, is to take those chances well. 0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:55.840 And later on in the first half went forward on 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.920 fourth and one in his own territory. Nobody talks about 0:07:58.920 --> 0:07:59.480 that because it work. 0:08:00.240 --> 0:08:02.640 By the way, Trevor on those two fourth down put 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:04.400 his nose down, and we've been told that's not what 0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.000 he does well, or he really did it well yesterday. 0:08:07.000 --> 0:08:07.280 It worked. 0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:08.400 He wasn't going to be denied. 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.880 Absolutely. Let's talk about that spark moment. John. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:14.600 We saw that BTJ touchdown, I mean, the second longest 0:08:14.640 --> 0:08:16.760 touchdown in Jaguars history, I think is what we heard, 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:18.880 and he tracked up to twenty two miles an hour 0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.120 on that he's just so dangerous in this and the 0:08:22.160 --> 0:08:23.920 fact that I think he talked after the game as well, 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:26.000 he saw that the defender's doing the wrong thing and 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:27.400 he looked up and thought something. 0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:28.480 Else was going on. He said, oh, I got this 0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:28.920 from here. 0:08:29.400 --> 0:08:32.360 Well he it was kind of funny, is quote. First 0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.520 of all, he said he wanted to get his mad 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:36.400 and his Madden rating up, which was funny, and then 0:08:36.880 --> 0:08:39.199 he didn't expect the ball and then all of a sudden, 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.640 the plays in the end zone. That's the kind of 0:08:41.760 --> 0:08:45.280 thing that they haven't had happened to them this year. 0:08:46.360 --> 0:08:49.719 We've been talking all along. Do they have special playmakers? 0:08:49.760 --> 0:08:52.760 Are those guys going to show up multiple times? Yesterday 0:08:52.840 --> 0:08:55.400 it did. It's the difference in winning and losing when 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:57.960 you've got guys who turn that into a touchdown, Brian, 0:08:58.080 --> 0:09:00.920 rather than into a fifty five yard game. Yeah, all 0:09:00.960 --> 0:09:03.000 of a sudden, your points go up. Those are the 0:09:03.040 --> 0:09:05.000 teams that win games. They look like they have a 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.439 couple of guys in Bigsby and Thomas. 0:09:06.559 --> 0:09:09.160 Well, they haven't had that kind of a play since 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:11.840 December twenty fifteen, when Alan Robinson had a ninety yard 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.120 touchdown pass in New Orleans. It's been forever. People forgotten 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.200 that Alan Robinson was even a year And it looked 0:09:18.200 --> 0:09:20.480 to me yesterday like he looked like he was the 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.880 same kid at LSU. Oh, this is easy. 0:09:23.360 --> 0:09:25.400 The preparation good to see from the rookie. Let's go 0:09:25.559 --> 0:09:29.040 to the second quarter. Gave Davis catch and fumble. Another 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:31.320 moment of adversity. As we've talked about, could have been 0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:33.400 a backbreaker in a different game, but there was many 0:09:33.520 --> 0:09:35.439 in this game that they were able to bounce back from. 0:09:35.480 --> 0:09:37.199 This one was extra tough because to get the PI 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.520 on it as well, so there would have been a 0:09:39.559 --> 0:09:42.000 penalty anyway. But then at this point in the game, 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:44.240 with twenty five seconds left, you're trying to go and 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.319 get at least maybe a field goal at this point 0:09:46.800 --> 0:09:48.360 before the half, and then this happens. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.320 It was tough. Yeah, it feels I'm sure good now 0:09:50.360 --> 0:09:53.280 you fumble on a play didn't count, and so I 0:09:54.000 --> 0:09:56.240 think they need more out of this spot than what 0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:57.959 they've gotten in the last couple of weeks. With the 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.120 drop in the end zone two weeks ago or against Houston. 0:10:02.559 --> 0:10:04.760 You know, I don't think it will happen again. I 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:07.040 don't think it's his m O that has to be done. 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.040 After this though we did see again fighting back from 0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:15.160 that adversity, Trayvon getting the strip sack, Josh Hinds Allen able. 0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.520 To get the ball and he was not even getting 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:17.960 an en zone. 0:10:17.960 --> 0:10:19.000 I was like, he needs to go down because I 0:10:19.000 --> 0:10:20.439 don't know if he's gonna make it with time on 0:10:20.520 --> 0:10:23.240 the clock at that point. But again, a huge play. 0:10:23.280 --> 0:10:25.400 And it's these kinds of moments where you can go 0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.199 and then kick a field goal after this and get 0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.760 some points before the half. That's when those things add up. 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.199 It's kind of Josh's m O, right, I mean he 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:35.920 makes plays like that grabbing the ball off the ground, 0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:38.400 and it was it was so much fun to watch 0:10:38.480 --> 0:10:39.720 Trayvon Walker yesterday. 0:10:40.840 --> 0:10:43.360 Just he was feeling it and you could tell, well. 0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:46.120 Mike tom On the last a year called the wrecking 0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:49.280 ball and when he's right, and it's happening more and 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:52.880 more and more in his career. Now he can read 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.960 games and he certainly did yesterday for the Colts. Huge 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:58.280 day for the Colts offensively, but when you're having a 0:10:58.440 --> 0:11:01.679 day like that against you. Defensively, you have to get 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:06.040 a couple of I guess service breaks, and Trayvon Walker 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:07.080 got him to the Jazz yesterday. 0:11:07.120 --> 0:11:08.360 By the way, this field goal at the end of 0:11:08.400 --> 0:11:10.000 the half was the moment where I really thought they 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.520 were going to win because it showed a resilience. Right, 0:11:12.559 --> 0:11:14.559 there's that word again that we hadn't seen from this 0:11:14.640 --> 0:11:16.880 team in weeks and able to go in with a. 0:11:16.920 --> 0:11:18.400 Lead to halftime was huge for them. 0:11:18.520 --> 0:11:21.400 Coming out a little bit not great trying to force 0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:22.760 the ball to Brian Thomas Junior. 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.640 There not a great moment for Trevor. 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:26.880 He didn't have a ton of bad moments yesterday, but 0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:27.839 that was not a great one. 0:11:27.960 --> 0:11:30.280 Yeah, you would think you just we've been told you 0:11:30.360 --> 0:11:31.240 can't overthrow him. 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:35.760 Try to overthrow well with a great receiver like this, 0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.520 I think it's gonna be a few plays where I 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:41.199 don't want to say, be willing Niley with the ball, 0:11:41.800 --> 0:11:45.360 but when you have a one, which he's gonna be, 0:11:45.800 --> 0:11:47.040 sometimes you throw it up and see if he can 0:11:47.080 --> 0:11:49.480 make a play. This was a little you know, and 0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.240 Trevor would say, yeah, John, that wasn't that this was 0:11:52.280 --> 0:11:56.719 a bad throw, but I don't mind giving this kid 0:11:56.760 --> 0:11:59.680 a chance these days because a lot of times it works. 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:02.000 And if you're going to get a pick there, get 0:12:02.040 --> 0:12:03.880 it on your own two or your back deack. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:05.319 Like a punt at that point, and then we know 0:12:05.400 --> 0:12:07.760 what happened right afterwards on the ensuing series. So it 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:08.800 turned out to be just fine. 0:12:09.040 --> 0:12:10.400 Let's talk about that ensuing series. 0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.560 We saw Devin Duvernet with his first big play, kind 0:12:12.559 --> 0:12:14.360 of flipping the field for them and then setting up 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.480 what I thought was going to be Tank's best run 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:16.880 of the day. 0:12:17.080 --> 0:12:19.079 But we'll get to the other one later, but this 0:12:19.240 --> 0:12:19.600 was huge. 0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:20.880 I mean, we haven't seen a ton of it with 0:12:20.960 --> 0:12:22.599 the new kickoff rules, we haven't seen a ton of 0:12:22.679 --> 0:12:25.360 breakout plays necessarily, but he was able to do it 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:28.280 this time and giving them good field position and where 0:12:28.280 --> 0:12:28.920 they went from there. 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.360 So it was it was nice to see. 0:12:30.480 --> 0:12:32.480 And when I say every part of the team kind 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.080 of contributed in this when they really did well. 0:12:34.120 --> 0:12:36.200 We've been waiting, right, We've been waiting for him. 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.120 Yeah. Punt returning is one of those thing. If you 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:40.720 have three plays like this in the year, you had 0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:42.600 a good year. Because you flip field, you use your 0:12:42.600 --> 0:12:46.480 team momentum. It is a big play once every few 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:49.760 games position and I thought this was huge in terms 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.920 of their momentum because it made you field Brien. You 0:12:52.960 --> 0:12:54.200 had the feeling at the end of the first alley 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.079 they were going to win. Now of a sudden, you 0:12:56.160 --> 0:12:59.360 felt like, Oh, they're making plays. It doesn't matter what's 0:12:59.400 --> 0:13:01.600 going against them. It's that kind of a game. 0:13:01.679 --> 0:13:03.120 They have an answer for everything. Yeah. 0:13:03.200 --> 0:13:06.559 The only downside with that is Devin Dubernet had a hamstring. 0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:08.360 We know what those have done to this team. 0:13:08.559 --> 0:13:10.199 He did selfish injuries not good. 0:13:10.360 --> 0:13:13.040 This play to me was I mean, when you rewatch it, 0:13:13.120 --> 0:13:15.520 Ezra Cleveland's literally pushing tank into the end zone at 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.360 this point, even gave Davis' is in on the blocking. 0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:20.480 That was a I won't be denied here. We are 0:13:20.559 --> 0:13:22.600 not going to be denied. This is not something where 0:13:22.600 --> 0:13:25.240 we're gonna stall in the red zone. We're getting this 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:28.000 touchdown and you force your way into the end zone. 0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:29.600 And that's great to see from this team. 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:30.520 Love to see the power. 0:13:30.880 --> 0:13:33.000 I love to see Ezra Cleveland pushing even more. The 0:13:33.040 --> 0:13:36.160 offensive line is coming off two really good games. The 0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:39.040 quarterback spin on his feet, they've provided all kinds of 0:13:39.120 --> 0:13:41.960 room in the ground game. It feels like the offensive 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:44.520 line is getting their rhythm and John, I mean, I 0:13:44.559 --> 0:13:47.120 guess you expect it now coming into October with the 0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.800 five of these guys playing together, really the first time 0:13:49.840 --> 0:13:51.160 they've played this extensively together. 0:13:51.200 --> 0:13:52.679 Well, if it's going to happen, this is the way 0:13:52.760 --> 0:13:55.360 you expect it at I think it's fair for fans 0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:57.640 to be surprised by it because they haven't had this 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.600 kind offensive line play in a long time. Been a topic, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:03.280 but as Doug Peterson said, with a little bit of 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.160 you know, a sort of a vintage Doug, I told 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:09.120 you so. He's been talking about continuity of this bunch 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:11.000 and how it hasn't had didn't have it at all 0:14:11.080 --> 0:14:12.839 last year. Now it's got it. Now it's playing well 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.480 so far. Kudos to Doug on that one's talk about 0:14:16.520 --> 0:14:17.000 Christian Kirk. 0:14:17.000 --> 0:14:18.480 Didn't see a ton of him in the first half, 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:21.520 but again staying prepared, staying ready for when your name 0:14:21.640 --> 0:14:23.680 is called. That huge catch over the middle he talked 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:25.160 after the game, that was the same play we saw 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:26.240 the huge play. 0:14:26.080 --> 0:14:29.880 From Brian on in the other game. And Christian Kirk 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:30.640 can do some things too. 0:14:30.840 --> 0:14:33.040 Listen the moment of this was big. We talked about 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.720 how the Jaguars didn't meet the moment. This is the 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.960 series that started with a face masking penalty against Ernest Johnson. 0:14:39.200 --> 0:14:41.320 And on first and twenty five, you throw a little 0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.600 past the game's one yard, so it's second to twenty 0:14:43.640 --> 0:14:45.680 four and you're thinking, all right, there are many plays 0:14:45.680 --> 0:14:48.240 where you go for twenty four yards, you know, And 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:51.480 yet there they go. And it was a week after 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.280 missing Christian Kirk who was wide open. He makes this 0:14:55.480 --> 0:14:59.120 throw and there's two defenders at three somewhere near him. 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.400 What a great Yeah, it was. 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.840 A flipped the field moment picked up second and twenty four, 0:15:05.080 --> 0:15:09.440 and it felt in that game it felt like they 0:15:09.480 --> 0:15:11.240 weren't going to pick that up and that the Colts 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.600 had momentum back. This broke momentum back, and credit to 0:15:14.600 --> 0:15:17.800 the Jags they did that multiple times on Sunday for 0:15:17.880 --> 0:15:18.840 the first time this season. 0:15:19.360 --> 0:15:20.920 Let's jump ahead a little bit to the fourth quarter. 0:15:20.960 --> 0:15:22.520 Things got a little wild, so we might as well 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.360 go over some of that stuff. I told you I 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:27.040 thought Tank's nineteen yard run was going to be the 0:15:27.080 --> 0:15:28.880 best run of the day. He proved me very much 0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:31.360 wrong with that sixty five yard run that he had, 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:33.760 and Tank was not going to be denied today. And 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:36.040 he talked in that SoundBite we heard in the A 0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:39.080 Bloc about you know, I sprinted after practice. 0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:40.840 I was not going to get gas and he didn't. 0:15:41.400 --> 0:15:45.560 It's cool, Brian to see a young player coming into 0:15:45.600 --> 0:15:49.560 his own and I guess we're seeing with Brian Thomas Junior. 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:56.520 But Tank, now his runs are looking so much different 0:15:56.920 --> 0:15:59.000 than they looked even a day or I mean even 0:15:59.040 --> 0:16:01.520 a game or two ago. He's doing what he knows 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:04.240 how to do. It looks like he's figuring out how 0:16:04.320 --> 0:16:07.360 to do what his skills set is in the NFL 0:16:07.440 --> 0:16:09.440 if you follow me, Yeah, and that can be hard. 0:16:09.840 --> 0:16:13.840 Now he's got confidence. Look, this was a terrific run 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:16.120 and it did Frankly, mind youa Fred? So it did. 0:16:16.640 --> 0:16:18.040 And just as he took the. 0:16:18.080 --> 0:16:22.400 Pitch, Fred goes cut it back and immediately the kid 0:16:22.480 --> 0:16:24.760 cut it back and I went, what right? 0:16:25.040 --> 0:16:25.800 But that's the. 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:29.720 Vision that Tank showed us, and we've seen him. It's 0:16:29.800 --> 0:16:31.720 easy when your vision says, hey, I'll get around the 0:16:31.760 --> 0:16:33.760 corner and I'll use my speed and get to the sideline. 0:16:33.920 --> 0:16:36.960 Much more difficult to see that cutback lane coming behind 0:16:37.040 --> 0:16:39.000 you when you're running to your right. But he did 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.520 and it was a perfect little jump cut and then 0:16:41.560 --> 0:16:44.120 he ran through an over a defender and took. 0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:44.840 Off for the end zone. 0:16:45.720 --> 0:16:49.440 Listen, I don't know how you keep him from carrying 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.240 the ball twelve to fifteen times a game. 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:54.520 Yeah, it's tough. And I thought after week one they 0:16:54.560 --> 0:16:58.440 were going to have a good problem in the sense 0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:00.880 that you don't want to have out not in the 0:17:00.960 --> 0:17:05.280
