We'll player Comrad in 4 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:52,280 Speaker 1: the open, Bill Thorver Tighten, Evan Ingram Mike Dep we 5 00:00:52,479 --> 00:00:54,880 Speaker 1: two against the colts, a perfect person to be miked 6 00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,600 Speaker 1: up in that game, playing a key role on this offense. 7 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: Welcome to Jaguars drive time. On a Wednesday, Ash Lynn, 8 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: Brian and John here with you as we turned to 9 00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: a new week and get ready for week three against 10 00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:07,840 Speaker 1: the Los Angeles chargers. Big Trip coming up, big opponent 11 00:01:07,880 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: coming up and it's going to be a key week 12 00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 1: for this offense, especially Evan Ingram. Thought that I want 13 00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:17,679 Speaker 1: to ask you because you're talking about and it's positive. Actually, 14 00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:24,200 Speaker 1: you've been doing this for a five years right, Um, 15 00:01:24,240 --> 00:01:27,959 Speaker 1: you've seen a lot of free agents come through. Um, 16 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:32,600 Speaker 1: you know what strikes you about this free agent class? 17 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 1: And thinking of Christian Kirk and Evan Ingram, I'm sure 18 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,040 Speaker 1: there's more guys. Something Evan said on Monday which really 19 00:01:39,080 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 1: holds true on the block we just saw, when you 20 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,720 Speaker 1: said he's about team. Everybody kind of says they're about team, 21 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,840 Speaker 1: but you've had some guys through here weren't really all 22 00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:55,320 Speaker 1: that much about team. Um what a revelation he's been. 23 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: He's been Christian Kirk and I think that you know 24 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:00,920 Speaker 1: as tried as at. I said, nobody likes to talk 25 00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: about teamwork. It's all about stats, about whatever, but I 26 00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 1: think those two guys and others in the free agent 27 00:02:07,080 --> 00:02:10,680 Speaker 1: class really define what they're all about. It's hard to 28 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,840 Speaker 1: really target those guys in free agencies. You haven't have 29 00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:14,959 Speaker 1: time to talk to him. They did a good job 30 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:17,440 Speaker 1: bringing guys in here this year. I really have enjoyed 31 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:19,280 Speaker 1: getting to know every ingram a little bit. He's so 32 00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,799 Speaker 1: measured in what he says and it's clear that the 33 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,440 Speaker 1: four years in New York, whereas a former first round 34 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: to pick he was heavily scrutinized. Right. They expect you 35 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:29,799 Speaker 1: coming to be Mark Bavarro, which who you probably don't 36 00:02:30,080 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 1: do what we call that name, but Bavarro was the 37 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,799 Speaker 1: tight end on the great eighties championship teams and was just, 38 00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:39,960 Speaker 1: I mean, as as tough and dependable as they came, 39 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,080 Speaker 1: and you don't find many guys like that. He has 40 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320 Speaker 1: a couple of drops in New York gets down on him. 41 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: I mean he comes down here he's happy and I 42 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:48,120 Speaker 1: think he's happy because he just gets to be himself 43 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:50,839 Speaker 1: and be part of the team, as opposed to having 44 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: to be the star, the first round pick from Ole 45 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Miss Guy Um. And then I think Kirk learned a 46 00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,520 Speaker 1: lot from you know, he was not the star. He 47 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 1: deando Hopkins and of course Larry Fitzgerald to us there 48 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,800 Speaker 1: and for a time a j green. so He's been 49 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 1: around a lot of great players and he learned to 50 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 1: fit in and I think there's circumstances in Arizona New 51 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 1: York really play into who they are as people. Yeah, 52 00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: it's it's it's being cool to see it has it's 53 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,680 Speaker 1: both them kind of getting a new chance, a fresh 54 00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 1: start that seemed needed, and I've said it. Sunday you 55 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:23,040 Speaker 1: saw them going to ingram on Keith or downs where 56 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:24,880 Speaker 1: it was eight yards and they needed a guy that 57 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: they could depend on, a big guy who could go 58 00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:29,880 Speaker 1: take it away from a cornerback Um, and he's going 59 00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: that role is going to expand. Oh yes, all right, 60 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 1: let's get into big things. Big thing one is the message. 61 00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: The Jaguars are one and one and after Monday night 62 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: football with the titans, the Jaguars are leading the division 63 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,880 Speaker 1: this week. Now. In no way can anyone be cocky 64 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,520 Speaker 1: after winning one game, but coach Peterson is making sure 65 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,760 Speaker 1: the message is clear to sweep it's it's it's up 66 00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: to the team, it's up to the players really, but 67 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,920 Speaker 1: but for me it's it's kind of easy because the 68 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: message is always gonna be the same thing. It's all 69 00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:56,080 Speaker 1: about US going one to know this week and it 70 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: doesn't really matter what we've done in the past. And 71 00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: and you know, it's a short term memory. Each week 72 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 1: it's a new set of challenges and so, you know, 73 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 1: it's my job to make sure that the guys stay 74 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 1: focused that way and and, uh, never lose sight of that, 75 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 1: because you know, that's when that's when you get beat, 76 00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: when you start kind of, you know, feeling full of 77 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,160 Speaker 1: yourself just a little bit after something like this on 78 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:19,680 Speaker 1: Sunday or you know, you have success a couple of 79 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: weeks in a row and and Um, you want to 80 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:24,920 Speaker 1: build on the momentum, of course, but at the same 81 00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 1: time you gotta stay humble and grounded and continue to, 82 00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,800 Speaker 1: you know, improve at what you're doing big thing too, 83 00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: is the trip. Big Game this week and as the 84 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:36,359 Speaker 1: Jaguars will travel to L A to face the chargers, 85 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: considered a playoff favorite this season. This is a whole 86 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520 Speaker 1: week process to get ready to play a game on 87 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: the West Coast, and tight end Evan Ingram is getting 88 00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 1: ready for that early. The biggest thing is really just 89 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:50,479 Speaker 1: take care of your body, Um, and having a west 90 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,200 Speaker 1: coast trip like that, you gotta get on it now 91 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:56,360 Speaker 1: and really be consistent with at the beginning of a week. Um, 92 00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:58,920 Speaker 1: even we're gonna have a couple of hard practices, so 93 00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:01,000 Speaker 1: we got everybody's gotta take care of their bodies, be 94 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: accountable with that stuff, Um, and just stay focused. There's 95 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: gonna be a long flight, tim change all that stuff. Um. 96 00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 1: It's just staying focused, staying a lot then on our 97 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: our mission and our goals, Um, and then when when 98 00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 1: kickoff happens on Sunday, it's just it's just football and 99 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:18,680 Speaker 1: we're ready for and big thing. Three is the chargers. 100 00:05:18,760 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and a multitude of offensive weapons on this 101 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: charger's team and, of course, Joey bows on the defensive line, 102 00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 1: have made Los Angeles a tough team to beat this season. 103 00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: It's especially a big challenge for the secondary and Safety 104 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:36,159 Speaker 1: Andre Cisco. Big Week for the secondary. Um, you got 105 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:38,200 Speaker 1: a lot of weapons on outside and a quarterback back 106 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:40,320 Speaker 1: can make all the throws. So is that simple? You? 107 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,280 Speaker 1: I mean you come across that every weekend the league, 108 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: but this week especially, now you have it. Those are 109 00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,040 Speaker 1: big things. I go back up to big thing one 110 00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 1: and and I didn't think Doug Peterson had to say 111 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,120 Speaker 1: the message this week, but it is rather interesting. All 112 00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden you now all these national media outlets 113 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 1: suddenly talking about the Jaguars and what a big win 114 00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: it was on Sunday. First Place Baby. Yeah, in no 115 00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:03,719 Speaker 1: way that we're the Jaguars going in cocky to Los Angeles, 116 00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: but it is something to room. Hey, we still have 117 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,679 Speaker 1: lots of improve you know, it's interesting we talk about 118 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: a team, John, getting better. Right, we talked about, you know, 119 00:06:11,160 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 1: the offensive line blocking better or the quarterback making better 120 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: reads or the defensive backs with better coverage. But part 121 00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: of getting better means being focused, understanding the circumstances you're in. 122 00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: There's a mental or a maturity perspective on this one 123 00:06:26,839 --> 00:06:29,680 Speaker 1: that it's it's so hard to describe that it's just 124 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,159 Speaker 1: easier to talk about, you know, Cam Robinson playing better 125 00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,039 Speaker 1: or termber lawrence playing better, but this team has to 126 00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,919 Speaker 1: grow up in order to go do what they want 127 00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:40,760 Speaker 1: to do. So, you know, here's a little bit of 128 00:06:40,760 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 1: perspective for them. You know, the Jaggers have lost eighteen 129 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:45,680 Speaker 1: straight road games, as I know people know, but the 130 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:49,599 Speaker 1: last time they won back to back games, right was October, 131 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: October two thousand nineteen. So it's been almost three years 132 00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:56,680 Speaker 1: since they've won consecutive games and I know that people 133 00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: who are watching and listening here. Yeah, no kidding, it's 134 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 1: been that long right. So this team has to to 135 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,920 Speaker 1: dial in and I think it'll be easy to dial 136 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: in it because, John of all the factors. It's a 137 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,240 Speaker 1: long trip. The team hasn't one out there very often. 138 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:12,640 Speaker 1: It's a great team that they're going to play if 139 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert is under center, but they've never won in 140 00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,960 Speaker 1: San Diego or San Diego Los Angeles. And if you 141 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: go through the list and they yeah, and it's UH, 142 00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:25,760 Speaker 1: they've been atrocious against the chargers. This is a really 143 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: good chargers team and if we're going up to big 144 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:32,480 Speaker 1: thing three, Um boy, these guys are good. Uh, I 145 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: write for later in the week, that they got better 146 00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:38,480 Speaker 1: from week one to week two. They'RE gonna have to 147 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: get that much better from week two to week three 148 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,400 Speaker 1: to have a chance against this team, because this team 149 00:07:43,400 --> 00:07:47,920 Speaker 1: is loaded. UH, Kansas City will fall into this category 150 00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: when we talk about him, but this may be the 151 00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,320 Speaker 1: most talented team that Jaguarys play all years. Allen and 152 00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 1: Williams are just there. They're big receivers with great length 153 00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:00,280 Speaker 1: right uh, they run well. If you're not, you can't 154 00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: make a silly mistake in the middle of the field 155 00:08:02,520 --> 00:08:05,880 Speaker 1: with coverage and expect to get away with it against 156 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:10,640 Speaker 1: these guys. Because Herbert has everyone gives Patrick mahomes this. 157 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720 Speaker 1: I think Herbert has the best deep ball, the biggest 158 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: arm in the NFL, because he launches that thing and 159 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:22,920 Speaker 1: he is fearless and accurate and canny accuracy. He puts 160 00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: the ball right on the spot. So I think if 161 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: you'RE gonna win this game, you're gonna score a lot 162 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,720 Speaker 1: of points, John, not twenty three, which is what this 163 00:08:30,760 --> 00:08:33,320 Speaker 1: team is averaging. You'RE gonna have to score thirty five 164 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: or thirty eight points to be able to beat this team. 165 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: It scares you about Herbert and this offense. The first 166 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:41,640 Speaker 1: two offenses you felt like if you gave them something, 167 00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 1: they would take it. This offense, you don't have to 168 00:08:46,760 --> 00:08:50,440 Speaker 1: give him anything. You can play very well against this 169 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:54,120 Speaker 1: offense and they can score points. If you play poorly, 170 00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:56,679 Speaker 1: you're done. Yeah, and the turnover battle is going to 171 00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520 Speaker 1: be huge this week as well. Right, and we'll find out, 172 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, actually where Justin Herbert is. I mean they'll 173 00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: they'll get back on the field today. I wouldn't imagine 174 00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 1: that we're going to know much about him until Saturday even, 175 00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:10,839 Speaker 1: you know, because I wouldn't expect he's going to get 176 00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: a lot of reps this week. It's, I would think. Yeah, 177 00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:17,920 Speaker 1: and and, and that's that's going to determine. Obviously you 178 00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:19,840 Speaker 1: know his pain threshold and how many reps he gets. 179 00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:22,680 Speaker 1: But I mean he is we forget about him because 180 00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: he's all the way out there, you know, and we 181 00:09:24,240 --> 00:09:26,400 Speaker 1: talked about mahomes and all the great quarterbacks in this 182 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: game and we forget about him. He's a top five guy. 183 00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:34,920 Speaker 1: When he's on he's the best. I mean, like I'm 184 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,920 Speaker 1: saying Josh Allen, he's on He's the Best Bat Rock Hug, 185 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 1: but he's in that conversation guys who, again, you can't 186 00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 1: if they're on and you make a mistake, you're not 187 00:09:44,960 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: going to win something. A Guy that knows Justin Herbert 188 00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,480 Speaker 1: and the chargers very well is Matt Money Smith, who 189 00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:53,000 Speaker 1: is the chargers, played by play, an NFL network analyst. 190 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,439 Speaker 1: He's joining us next on Jaguar's drive time.

Thank you for that, Matt. 199 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 1: Absolutely actually what's happening. I appreciate you having me looking 200 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:33,720 Speaker 1: forward to this one coming up on Sunday for sure, 201 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:36,160 Speaker 1: and we just talked for about ten minutes all about 202 00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,599 Speaker 1: Justin Herbert and the latest on this injury. IS HE 203 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:41,240 Speaker 1: gonna play? We all guessed he would, but what's the 204 00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:44,679 Speaker 1: latest in Los Angeles with the quarterback. Yeah, I'll tell 205 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,319 Speaker 1: you they're they're really not saying a lot as you 206 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,000 Speaker 1: would expect, right. You know, the the injury reports are 207 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,760 Speaker 1: specifically sort of nebulous and and I pardon me, I'm 208 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,760 Speaker 1: driving up the fan duel TV right now and four 209 00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: or five freeway where it's always just kind of a 210 00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,960 Speaker 1: free for all and you have to get on the 211 00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:04,040 Speaker 1: level some of my apologies for the Horn in the background. Um, yeah, 212 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:05,959 Speaker 1: he's gonna play. I think kind of the way it's 213 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,959 Speaker 1: been described to us is that it's a pain injury. 214 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,560 Speaker 1: It's not a debilitating I mean certainly it's debilitating, but 215 00:11:13,600 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: it's something you can play through. It's just managing the pain. 216 00:11:16,880 --> 00:11:18,880 Speaker 1: That that you know everyone we talked to since the 217 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,280 Speaker 1: thing is gonna stick around for a little while. Um. 218 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:24,079 Speaker 1: But look, I think we saw with that that throw 219 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,120 Speaker 1: after he couldn't run for a first down for two 220 00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:27,680 Speaker 1: yards because he was in so much pain, in the 221 00:11:27,760 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 1: very next snap he throws thirty nine yard dot. Um, 222 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:34,520 Speaker 1: you know that Herbert's probably capable of playing through it. 223 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:36,280 Speaker 1: He's not gonna be a hund percent, but you know, 224 00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,679 Speaker 1: by week three, how many players in the NFL are 225 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: at hey Mac, good morning. You know, I watched that 226 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,079 Speaker 1: Thursday night game and you see the A F c 227 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,800 Speaker 1: West and obviously Kansas City has been on top out there. Um, 228 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 1: you guys seem so close to getting over that Humph. 229 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:56,080 Speaker 1: What's the difference between Kansas City and Sandy? I'm sorry, 230 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 1: I'm I'm going to say that I still do I shouldn't, 231 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,480 Speaker 1: between the chargers in the chiefs. Well, you know, in 232 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,560 Speaker 1: that game I think there's look, I know this is 233 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 1: gonna sound a little sour grade sea and you know, 234 00:12:09,760 --> 00:12:12,120 Speaker 1: bias coming through, but the chargers with a better team. 235 00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: I mean they're a better team the whole game. Um, 236 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's a fourteen point swing on that pick 237 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: six because Gerald Abridge just couldn't quite summon the energy, 238 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:23,920 Speaker 1: you know, for five more seconds, or the coaching staff 239 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 1: just could not let this team slow down and huddle up. 240 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 1: You know, Herbert just loved that mismatch he had with 241 00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: a small corner on Everett. He wanted to get right 242 00:12:31,920 --> 00:12:33,920 Speaker 1: back on it and it turns into a pick six. 243 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,560 Speaker 1: But you know, the offensive line of the chiefs was 244 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: letting them down that whole game. The chargers pass rush 245 00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: with effecting Patrick Mahomes. He threw four interception worthy balls. 246 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,000 Speaker 1: I personally thought he three two interceptions, I think. You 247 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,200 Speaker 1: go back and you watch the film and it's a 248 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,120 Speaker 1: ridiculous call on Bryce Callahan. That would have been an 249 00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:55,040 Speaker 1: interception by NAS avitually. The score touchdown on that play 250 00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 1: and you know it was called an interception on the 251 00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,400 Speaker 1: field and it certainly looked like a Sante got his 252 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:01,560 Speaker 1: hand underneath that ball to keep it in an interception 253 00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,880 Speaker 1: at least prevent it from being overturned, and it wasn't. 254 00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:05,760 Speaker 1: So I'm not saying that should have won the game. 255 00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,240 Speaker 1: The chiefs made the play to win the game. What 256 00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:09,600 Speaker 1: I'm saying is you come out of that feeling like 257 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:12,000 Speaker 1: the chargers were the better team. Now you make a 258 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:15,080 Speaker 1: great point, which is this happened a lot last year, 259 00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:18,160 Speaker 1: where they would get to a certain point and then 260 00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:21,560 Speaker 1: seemingly could not get over the Hump Um. The defense 261 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: is a lot better this year and it was the 262 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,520 Speaker 1: defense that was letting them down last year when it 263 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: came to getting over that Hump. You just see teams 264 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,760 Speaker 1: run all over him in the fourth quarter, convert third DOUNDS, 265 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,319 Speaker 1: able to run out the clock and get a victory 266 00:13:34,440 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 1: or score the final two or three points they needed 267 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: to get to get that win, and I think you're 268 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,440 Speaker 1: going to see a shift in that just because the 269 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: defense is playing so much better, particularly against the run, 270 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: to get these pass rushers into third and long and 271 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:52,520 Speaker 1: obviously passing situations. Is there a feeling that Um uh, 272 00:13:53,360 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: talk to Jeff Miller with the only times the other 273 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: day and he mentioned this feeling that the chargers sometimes 274 00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: have of what's going to happen at this time to 275 00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,360 Speaker 1: make it go wrong and if you're sort of been 276 00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,559 Speaker 1: snake bits, I'm nuys. Is that feeling going away? Do 277 00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 1: they have to earn it going away? And I guess 278 00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: what's the key to making it going away? Yeah, you know, 279 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:16,480 Speaker 1: that was certainly something that that you felt when they 280 00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:18,600 Speaker 1: first moved here, when I first got, you know, I moved, 281 00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: I got with the team when they moved here. So 282 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 1: there was definitely that and I think a lot of 283 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:26,040 Speaker 1: that was a product of you know, and I hate 284 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,200 Speaker 1: to say it because I think it's gonna be a 285 00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 1: hall of Famer, but a Philip rivers and I think Philip, 286 00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,280 Speaker 1: you know, when he felt like there wasn't enough around him, 287 00:14:33,280 --> 00:14:36,000 Speaker 1: and regularly there wasn't that he would just end up 288 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,280 Speaker 1: doing a little bit too much or trying to do 289 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Speaker 1: a little bit too much, and that would lead to 290 00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,400 Speaker 1: that backbreaking turnover late in the game. Now I would 291 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,400 Speaker 1: always sort of, you know, kind of couch that by saying, look, 292 00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: that he doesn't play the way he plays the entire game. 293 00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: They're not even in that position, um, but because he 294 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: has to play that way, that's when things would unravel. 295 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: I don't quite feel that with this group, Um, and 296 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,960 Speaker 1: I think there's two people, you know, that that sort 297 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: of have managed to push that aside, and it's Derwin 298 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,440 Speaker 1: James and Justin Herbert. You know, Derwin is such an 299 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,600 Speaker 1: incredible leader, Um, just a positive force, really, just a 300 00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:15,960 Speaker 1: tortive force, um for this team of energy, of belief, 301 00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,280 Speaker 1: of want to and and I think when you look 302 00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: at the sideline, when you're on defense and you see 303 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:24,960 Speaker 1: number ten standing there, you just assume anything is possible 304 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:26,960 Speaker 1: and any depthic sit and I think they did that 305 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,480 Speaker 1: last year. Yes, for the losing three out of their 306 00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:33,200 Speaker 1: final four games. Um, you still think about those fourth 307 00:15:33,280 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: quarter comebacks or the way he played against the Browns, 308 00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,840 Speaker 1: the way he played against the steelers. You know, all 309 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 1: those games where Herbert Magic, you know, in the fourth 310 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,640 Speaker 1: quarter against the raiders when the season seemingly was lost, 311 00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: and yet they get to the final three seconds of 312 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:49,080 Speaker 1: overtime of going to the playoffs. So I think those 313 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,320 Speaker 1: two players have changed that sort of mindset Um, but 314 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 1: until they do it, you know, I think that that 315 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,440 Speaker 1: question is certainly worthy of being asked. And you also 316 00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: cover football on a national level and frankly, we're not 317 00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:06,080 Speaker 1: used to the Jaguars being talked about on a national 318 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:07,920 Speaker 1: level and then all of a sudden I'm seeing that 319 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,240 Speaker 1: this week, which is kind of crazy because it's only 320 00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:12,920 Speaker 1: one win over the colts. But what is your mindset 321 00:16:12,920 --> 00:16:16,440 Speaker 1: of this Jaguars team coming into Los Angeles? Yeah, it's 322 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 1: funny you say that because I'm actually driving. I'm going 323 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,080 Speaker 1: to do k's show right now. I do it every 324 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,160 Speaker 1: week for power rankings with her on up and atoms, 325 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,720 Speaker 1: and we were talking about okay, what are the teams 326 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 1: we talked about? Well, let's make sure we hit the 327 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 1: cowboys with Cooper Rush. Do we not believe it all 328 00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 1: at the forty niners with Jimmy Garoppolo, and then the 329 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Jaguars came up and you know, we kind of had 330 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,520 Speaker 1: this little mini conversation of you know, we only have 331 00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 1: twelve minutes for this segment. We wanted the packers. Do 332 00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:44,600 Speaker 1: we want to hit the bills? Do you know? And 333 00:16:44,640 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 1: it's like jugs. They deserve some love. Like this is 334 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,640 Speaker 1: an interesting team. They you know, they've had all these 335 00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:54,120 Speaker 1: first round picks that have not come to fruition, that 336 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: have gone bust, and now it looks like they're hitting them. 337 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and obviously with with Josh Allen and now 338 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,400 Speaker 1: being able to be teamed up with Trayvon Walker, like 339 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,600 Speaker 1: that is a formidable front. I'm on the West Coast. 340 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 1: I called College Football Games still a little bit. When 341 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,520 Speaker 1: I have windows to do so, I'll be calling the 342 00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:13,199 Speaker 1: Utah USD games for Devon Lloyd, someone I'm completely familiar with. 343 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:18,480 Speaker 1: Like that's a good, young, athletic, Nightmarish Front that you've 344 00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:21,040 Speaker 1: got to contend with. Um, I think it starts there. 345 00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,640 Speaker 1: I think Trevor Lawrence, you know, because we had heard 346 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:26,560 Speaker 1: so much about him being a generational talent, and I 347 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: totally believe that's still a very real possibility with his 348 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: size and athleticism and, you know, ability to play that position. 349 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: What he showed at Clemson and how many games they won. Um. 350 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:40,880 Speaker 1: So I think there is more of a national attention 351 00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:42,960 Speaker 1: put on them just because of the way they beat 352 00:17:42,960 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: the cold. So many people had pegged the cold as 353 00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:47,879 Speaker 1: the top ten team, uh, as sort of the V 354 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,080 Speaker 1: team to come out of the A F C south, 355 00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,919 Speaker 1: and to see them manhandled h that way. Yeah, they 356 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: had some injuries on the offensive line, but I think 357 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: we've seen, you know those and look, it wasn't I 358 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,640 Speaker 1: want to see it. Look, it definitely wasn't the consensus kick. 359 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 1: There are a lot of people wondering if that production 360 00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,240 Speaker 1: of Aidan Hutchinson was being overlooked for the potential of 361 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:09,200 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker, and now I think you're starting to see 362 00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:11,400 Speaker 1: why this guy could end up being a real problem 363 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: with that length, strength and athleticism. And look for the chargers, 364 00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 1: they lost their right tackle halfway through that game, uh, 365 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,600 Speaker 1: and that's when you started to see it get leaky 366 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,280 Speaker 1: on that side. When storm came in to replace Trade Pipkins, 367 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,960 Speaker 1: they lost their starting center and all pro and Corey 368 00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:29,360 Speaker 1: Linsley for the second half of that game. So that's 369 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,280 Speaker 1: gonna be a problem, you know, I think. And and 370 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 1: if you can do it, if you can affect Herbert, 371 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: then certainly it's going to be even more of a 372 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,400 Speaker 1: national conversation. Of Hey, a lot of people are talking 373 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:40,919 Speaker 1: about the jazz plus seven fifty going into the season 374 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,760 Speaker 1: as as potential winners of the the ANC south, and 375 00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,240 Speaker 1: those people have been pretty pretty good about their wallets 376 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: right now. Absolutely well, Matt Smith, thank you so much 377 00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,360 Speaker 1: for joining us on Jaguars drive time.

And Brian Sexton, 386 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: you were up first. Well, I'll go with Um. There's 387 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: a lot of science to traveling, especially when you go 388 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,440 Speaker 1: to some place like Denver where there's altitude. John Um, 389 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: I remember in two thousand Nineteen Tommy Mice Linsky, who 390 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,320 Speaker 1: at the time was the strength and performance coach found 391 00:19:43,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: a humidifier about the size of a cell phone and 392 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:49,879 Speaker 1: put one in each player's room because they found the 393 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: guys were dehydrated when you go from sea level to altitude, 394 00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,240 Speaker 1: and they felt like it worked because the guys felt 395 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:57,959 Speaker 1: fresh the next day, and the Jaguars, of course, one 396 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 1: if you call on the the late Josh Lambo Field Goal. 397 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 1: So you're going West, do you do you dive down 398 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:06,400 Speaker 1: the rabbit hole of science, or do you just practice, 399 00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 1: travel and play? Because, you know, listening to the coach 400 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 1: talk the other day, it seemed like they were just 401 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 1: gonna keep it simple, try to stay on the East 402 00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 1: Coast time, which we talked about on Monday, and show 403 00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,560 Speaker 1: up and play. Well, I think he'll bring the science 404 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: into it and, as I was thinking about that, would 405 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,720 Speaker 1: really be awful is if you had a cell phone 406 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:25,439 Speaker 1: the size of a humidifier, because that wouldn't work at all, 407 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 1: but it uh. I think what you need to do here. 408 00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 1: I like the approach he's taken. They're going Saturday, they're 409 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: going close to their normal time. Give these guys the 410 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: least amount of time to think about. Don't give them 411 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:42,800 Speaker 1: an excuse for being late for the plane on Saturday. 412 00:20:43,080 --> 00:20:45,600 Speaker 1: Make sure you just stay in the same in the 413 00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 1: same routine. I like that idea. I always thought I 414 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,560 Speaker 1: never minded going West early, but I thought it was 415 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: a little bit overrated. So I think doug is taking 416 00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:59,160 Speaker 1: the approach of keep things the same, keep them into 417 00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: their routine and then have the trainers and the and 418 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,439 Speaker 1: the and the medical people, whoever does that, bring in 419 00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,960 Speaker 1: the science without him emphasizing. Well, you heard the players 420 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:09,840 Speaker 1: talking about in the locker room on Monday or at 421 00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: the podium on Monthy. They were talking about how you 422 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,520 Speaker 1: get on it early and I think, I think there's 423 00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:17,879 Speaker 1: a balance because I have heard that Doug Peterson is 424 00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: implementing this role where they go to bed earlier this 425 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 1: trip to kind of make it equivalent to the time 426 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,359 Speaker 1: they would go to bed on the east coast. So 427 00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,920 Speaker 1: I do think he has a science approach to it, 428 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:28,520 Speaker 1: but he's not going to harp on it. He's not 429 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,360 Speaker 1: going to be Mr Science at the podium and talk 430 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,480 Speaker 1: all about it. But the science to win the game. 431 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 1: It doesn't win the game showing up ready to go 432 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 1: winto the game, but getting yourself there in the best 433 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: physical condition to be able to execute the game plan. Well, 434 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,200 Speaker 1: that's a worthy conversation. Yeah, and frankly, what they've been 435 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,119 Speaker 1: doing hasn't worked on the West Coast, going out early, 436 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,480 Speaker 1: doing all these things to get an edge, you could say. 437 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,600 Speaker 1: But I love what coach Peterson said on Monday. You 438 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:53,879 Speaker 1: have to bring a good team out there. That's the reason. 439 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: What they had players has been working on the West 440 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,119 Speaker 1: Coast because they've been playing on the west coast. They 441 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: played on the East Coast, which is poor. I mean, 442 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,440 Speaker 1: when you don't have a good team, you're going to 443 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:07,760 Speaker 1: go west and get beat. I guess what they lost 444 00:22:07,800 --> 00:22:13,320 Speaker 1: out here without traveling west? Ugly. So I mean all 445 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: of that. You know, it's all about the players. When 446 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:17,080 Speaker 1: I covered the colts, you know what they used to do. 447 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:18,320 Speaker 1: They used to go to the West Coast and win 448 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: because they were good. They wanted home to this team hasn't. 449 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,399 Speaker 1: When this team gets better, and I think it is, 450 00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,000 Speaker 1: I think they'll be more competitive about here, I mean 451 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:27,879 Speaker 1: on the West Coast on sign but I think one 452 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,879 Speaker 1: of the reasons why the science conversation comes in is 453 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,440 Speaker 1: because it's the third youngest team. We talked earlier about 454 00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:36,080 Speaker 1: in understanding, a focus, a maturity. How you to handle 455 00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,919 Speaker 1: the prosperity of winning right. So you have to make 456 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:41,160 Speaker 1: sure that this team understands that they have to take 457 00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 1: care of themselves this week and they have to do 458 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,639 Speaker 1: everything at home that they need to do. Go to 459 00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,880 Speaker 1: sleep early, hydrate, all those things. I mean, you need 460 00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,880 Speaker 1: every edge you can get. You're looking for and you're 461 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 1: looking for players who are great players, who understand that 462 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: this or that is uh, I'm gonna read it off 463 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,119 Speaker 1: the screen. What's tougher? The streets the Jaguars extended in 464 00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:03,359 Speaker 1: week two, which was the home streak against the colts, 465 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,160 Speaker 1: or the one they will try to break this week. Um, 466 00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,640 Speaker 1: I think less people think about this streak because it's 467 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:14,280 Speaker 1: over the course of time, but the the Jaguars have 468 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: beaten the colts eight straight times here. They've lost five 469 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 1: times out west to the chargers, and the numbers are ugly. 470 00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: The closest game was thirty nine. Twenty nine. When was 471 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: that in during covid and that was that didn't feel 472 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:33,879 Speaker 1: like thirty. That's the closest margin. The others are twenty 473 00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: four points, nineteen points, twenty five points and thirteen points. 474 00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:42,160 Speaker 1: They've never been they've never cut it to double digits. 475 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,959 Speaker 1: That's said. None of that matters because this is this 476 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,960 Speaker 1: year's game. But I think as you see this team improve, 477 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,480 Speaker 1: you will see that west coast thing get less and less. Brian, 478 00:23:54,680 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: we cover the team not together from to two thousand 479 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: Um that this really wasn't a thing back then. They 480 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: beat the raiders once. They played poorly a couple of 481 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,280 Speaker 1: times out there, but it's not a thing when you're 482 00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:11,600 Speaker 1: pretty good, when you're pretty bad and you go out 483 00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,560 Speaker 1: there and get just whacked every time, it's gonna become 484 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,640 Speaker 1: a famb you know. So I think this thing will 485 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,240 Speaker 1: go away as the team gets better. So back in 486 00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:24,200 Speaker 1: those days, uh, the drivers didn't play the chargers for 487 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:26,119 Speaker 1: the first time until two thousand three, and you're already 488 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,639 Speaker 1: in Indianapolis. UH, they didn't go to Seattle for the 489 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,760 Speaker 1: first time until two thousand one. So when they were 490 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: really good they would oakland twice. They lost in ninety 491 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:37,080 Speaker 1: six when Jerry Ball returned that fumble, and they won 492 00:24:37,160 --> 00:24:40,440 Speaker 1: in seven. So we didn't get enough of a look 493 00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 1: at it. Let's see, the rams weren't out there yet, 494 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:44,560 Speaker 1: and and and they didn't play the charges until two 495 00:24:44,560 --> 00:24:46,920 Speaker 1: thousand three. So it's tough to say, but I think 496 00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,880 Speaker 1: the point is it's it's tougher to go west and 497 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,840 Speaker 1: win when you're not as good a team, right, because 498 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 1: then all of the travel and all those excuses come 499 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,880 Speaker 1: into sure. I mean with Peyton Manning, you could win anywhere, right. 500 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:01,960 Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be tougher for them and 501 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 1: Trevor and Doug. I think you're gonna get to the 502 00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,560 Speaker 1: point where you can go cot and now it will 503 00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:09,000 Speaker 1: be the story. So the eighteen straight losses, which is 504 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 1: going to be the story, and it probably there's a 505 00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: good chance that it will be nineteen. And you've got 506 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 1: that because you're going out there to play where you 507 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,040 Speaker 1: haven't won. I'm not picking them to win this week, right, 508 00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,560 Speaker 1: but the the the ideal is is that you get 509 00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,960 Speaker 1: to that point with your coach and your quarterback and 510 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: your defense that you don't even we don't have this 511 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,360 Speaker 1: conversation just to want to play. They're going to play 512 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: a good team. So the thing that that that's hurting 513 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,359 Speaker 1: them this week is they're going to play a team that, 514 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,720 Speaker 1: I think, if everyone's on the field and healthy, is 515 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: just a notch below buffalo, right. I mean they're that good. 516 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:43,040 Speaker 1: With Khalil Mack now and Joey Bosa, what we talk about, 517 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker and Josh Allen. These two guys ket done 518 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:50,159 Speaker 1: it at a high level consistently. So this is a 519 00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,159 Speaker 1: really good team. They're gonna have to play their best 520 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:56,639 Speaker 1: football in a place where they haven't played well. On 521 00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,119 Speaker 1: Ten ten. Earlier this week we were talking about how 522 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 1: far the Jaguarsa come in just a week and the 523 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:03,920 Speaker 1: question was posed, well, if they win this week, then 524 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 1: we truly know how far they come. And I hesitate 525 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 1: that because truthfully, I don't think they're going to win 526 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,199 Speaker 1: this week. But if they can keep this game competitive, 527 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:13,760 Speaker 1: I think that shows how far they've come. If they 528 00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:16,200 Speaker 1: can go make this a game on Sunday and it's 529 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: relevant in the fourth quarters. How many trips have we 530 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: been on where it's halftime and you're thinking, all right, 531 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: you know, pack up the plane, let's go because it's 532 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,840 Speaker 1: not a game. If they make this competitive, that's how 533 00:26:25,880 --> 00:26:27,360 Speaker 1: so far they come. I think it's important to point 534 00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 1: out they can win. It's not this team can get 535 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,359 Speaker 1: better and go win. It's just it's a really tall 536 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:36,240 Speaker 1: order for a young team to go there and beat 537 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:40,040 Speaker 1: that team. I just they're gonna have to play like 538 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:41,880 Speaker 1: they did on Sunday, maybe even a little better. They're 539 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:44,600 Speaker 1: gonna need takeaway still gonna need short fields, they're gonna 540 00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:49,560 Speaker 1: need their quarterback to throw, you know, completion percentage. You 541 00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:53,200 Speaker 1: can be good, improved and still be a playoff team 542 00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 1: and lose in Los Angeles to the chart. Yes, absolutely, 543 00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:58,520 Speaker 1: all right, Mindus or that quickly, kind of relevant to 544 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,000 Speaker 1: what you guys just talked about. TRY TO L A 545 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:04,600 Speaker 1: or travel to London? What is more difficult? I think 546 00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:06,199 Speaker 1: we all can agree it's going to be traveling to 547 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: L A, because this team has traveled rather successfully to London. 548 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 1: With that said, it's a new coaching staff, it's it's 549 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: new players, it's a new team, like we've talked about 550 00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:16,680 Speaker 1: the past couple of weeks. But I think the Jaguars 551 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: at this point have traveling to London Down Pat where. 552 00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: I don't really think about it. To be honest. I 553 00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: don't think about the difficulty of going to that game anymore. Yeah, 554 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:28,200 Speaker 1: we don't. We don't talk about the challenges of traveling 555 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: to London. We talk about it for teams who haven't 556 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:34,560 Speaker 1: been there. Um, I think the history says going to 557 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,840 Speaker 1: the West Coast. He's more difficult for this team than 558 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: going to London. So I'll stay with that. Yeah, I 559 00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:41,440 Speaker 1: think about the difficulty of traveling to London when I'm 560 00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: waking up at seven o'clock. I mean I still think 561 00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:47,280 Speaker 1: that's a tricky trip because of the overnight part of it. Yeah, 562 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 1: but I get your point. This team knows how to 563 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,400 Speaker 1: do it. It'll be interesting as we get closer. So 564 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: many guys on this team and and the coaching staff 565 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,200 Speaker 1: hasn't haven't dealt with this together. Uh. So I think 566 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 1: that will be a little interesting. But for the most 567 00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,240 Speaker 1: part this is a trickier task for most of these guys. 568 00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,359 Speaker 1: Going Della. Yes, it is, and that is the third 569 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,360 Speaker 1: that presented by price dot com when we come back. 570 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 1: Some closing thoughts on the Jaguars. Digil Network Jaguars Game 571 00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,960 Speaker 1: Day radio is brought to you by vice, our credit union. 572 00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:24,920 Speaker 1: Do Good, think better people. We can do. My Game 573 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,120 Speaker 1: Ball goes to the quarterback one for the Jackson Jaguars, 574 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,880 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence, and guys, he looks like that. He looks 575 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,280 Speaker 1: like what we want. We waited a year for it. He, 576 00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 1: I don't even think, had a real ascension human being 577 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:37,680 Speaker 1: as a head coach last year he does. Now Doug 578 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 1: Peterson has a statue and he's got a quarterback and 579 00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: the mastery of the colts at home. Guys, it's not 580 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 1: just a Trevor Lawrence thing. Can we raise a Mug 581 00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,959 Speaker 1: this morning for Trevor Lawrence, who has two straight, Gardner Minshew, 582 00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 1: who got too straight, Cody Kessler, who won six nothing 583 00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: and of course, the goat, Blake Bortles, who also beat 584 00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: the Colton home where the colts cannot win in Jacksonville. 585 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: But Trevor Lawrence, for the first time ever on the show, 586 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,280 Speaker 1: we're giving you a game ball and a will not 587 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 1: be the last time. Duval County, we hear you, we 588 00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:04,600 Speaker 1: see you, we fit you in. Soon we'll be starting 589 00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,120 Speaker 1: the show. If you keep it up, you have it. 590 00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,000 Speaker 1: The Jaguars got two whole minutes of good morning football, 591 00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:13,160 Speaker 1: like we just talked about with Matt Smitt from the chargers. 592 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: Starting to have to talk about him, maybe just a 593 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 1: little bit, but hey, it's progress. Right. Sure, yeah, I'm 594 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:24,400 Speaker 1: not into the national media, but but I know the 595 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,560 Speaker 1: fans love that, so it's it's cool to see that. 596 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,880 Speaker 1: I know that makes people happy, but these guys don't care. 597 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: They don't care. They want respect from the other teams 598 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 1: right Um, and occasionally, I guess, on social media, they 599 00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: care a little bit about that. But Doug talked off 600 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,160 Speaker 1: the top about keeping these guys focused on the next thing, 601 00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,560 Speaker 1: which is the chargers, and not whoever that was. Yes, 602 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 1: Kyle Brandt, should know that, specifically for you, just to 603 00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: make me angry. It on purpose, and that is Jaguars 604 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,600 Speaker 1: drivetime on a Wednesday morning. We'll be back tomorrow morning 605 00:29:54,640 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: at with US ON JAGUARS DOT COM.
