The 16 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: Jaguars had to win five in a row down the 17 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,360 Speaker 1: stretch to take the division. But the city increases from here. 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 1: You know, obviously this is a little different. The atmosphere 19 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,959 Speaker 1: will be differently, the pace will be a bit different 20 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:07,920 Speaker 1: than intensity. To be a little different. I mean, it's 21 00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:09,680 Speaker 1: just just the way it is in the postseason. So 22 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a difference with the team, which is 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 1: a good thing. We just gotta you know, we just 24 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,600 Speaker 1: gotta focus on our jobs. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence on Tuesday 25 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,600 Speaker 1: explain the mindset moving ahead for the team since we 26 00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 1: came back. It's really just been next week like or 27 00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: this week like, moving on to the next week and 28 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,880 Speaker 1: focusing on the task at hand and realizing it's the 29 00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:29,800 Speaker 1: same thought process this week to earn another opportunity next week. 30 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,000 Speaker 1: It's you just find a way to win, whatever it takes. 31 00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: You know, this time of year, the games are gonna 32 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:35,080 Speaker 1: be tight, games are gonna be close, and you just 33 00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 1: gotta find a way to win. And we understand that, 34 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:38,520 Speaker 1: and I think our team has really rallied around that 35 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:40,920 Speaker 1: idea of whatever play needs to be made, we're gonna 36 00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:42,520 Speaker 1: find a way just to win the game. And I 37 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,440 Speaker 1: think we've done a great job of that. Running Back 38 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 1: Travis e t and Junior understands what this team has 39 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: had to do the last month plus and he feels 40 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 1: like it can carry over. I mean, I feel like 41 00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: the only difference is the title. It's a playoff game. Now, 42 00:01:54,480 --> 00:01:56,040 Speaker 1: we've been in the situations where we had to win, 43 00:01:56,360 --> 00:01:58,240 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be here in this situation, and I feel 44 00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 1: like we're ready for to day. We prepared for that, 45 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:01,920 Speaker 1: and we all know what's at stake, So we gotta 46 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,640 Speaker 1: go out there and just put out best before it 47 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: in uh best game to see what happens. I did 48 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers A Jones in the locker room this week said, 49 00:02:09,560 --> 00:02:13,000 Speaker 1: the playoffs are what people will remember for the long run. 50 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,120 Speaker 1: The regular season is what it is in a healthy respect. 51 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: You know, obviously if you take care of business there 52 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 1: in order to get to this moment. But here's where 53 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 1: it matters. If we want to keep creating the new 54 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:26,200 Speaker 1: narrative for this team in this city and and be 55 00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: the new Jack's team that we have set out to establish, 56 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,760 Speaker 1: it starts with a moment like this, and what an 57 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,040 Speaker 1: incredible opportunity that that we have to to show that 58 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: and display that we moved to the defense now and 59 00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,239 Speaker 1: outside linebacker Josh Allen was the a f C Defensive 60 00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 1: Player of Week eight team and he's been huge in 61 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,120 Speaker 1: the five game win streak to end the regular season 62 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,760 Speaker 1: with multiple sacks, pressures, impactful plays, and of course, the 63 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,320 Speaker 1: game winning fumble return touchdown. Last week, he explained his 64 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,040 Speaker 1: late season resurgences. Be impatient. Uh, you know, I've always 65 00:02:57,040 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 1: worked hard. It's just then those opportunities come. You know. 66 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,840 Speaker 1: I've been, you know, dialting with myself a little bit more. 67 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,120 Speaker 1: I've been talking to a lot with Todd Washington from 68 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: the offensive line coach or he's somebody that I entrusted 69 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: and he's helped me out, you know, to this point. 70 00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:13,519 Speaker 1: But it's just, you know, collective of everybody doing the 71 00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:16,280 Speaker 1: right things. Me working hard, I guess, and before and 72 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,960 Speaker 1: after practice and doing what I need to do, and 73 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,560 Speaker 1: I ben't what I need to be. And I knew 74 00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:23,080 Speaker 1: when the moment comes, when the opportunity comes, if I 75 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:25,920 Speaker 1: keep states, keep keep at it, you know, good things 76 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:27,839 Speaker 1: are gonna come. And now I gotta keep on going. 77 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,959 Speaker 1: The Jack's defense has come through with impactful plays down 78 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,840 Speaker 1: the stretch. Of course, in middle linebacker foy Loud can 79 00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 1: explain the mindset behind it. You know a lot of 80 00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:39,200 Speaker 1: times things are going bad or not how we plan, 81 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 1: but you know it's football things. All the goals you played, 82 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:43,920 Speaker 1: we come and have time. I just love how everybody's 83 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 1: calling saying, you know, with that our best football and 84 00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:48,600 Speaker 1: though we're still what score down, like, if we just 85 00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 1: start playing well, we can really flip this game turning around. 86 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: And then you just make one play and everybody feeds 87 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: off of that competence and all of a sudden, the 88 00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,000 Speaker 1: bigger play comes from that and then everybody just um, 89 00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 1: you know, flowing off of that. So it's really just 90 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: the confidence to understand that, you know, we can turn 91 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: the game around while the game's still going on. Now 92 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:08,920 Speaker 1: to defensive coordinator might called well and the Jags defensive 93 00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:12,560 Speaker 1: match up with Chargers running back Austin Ekeler. He can 94 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,200 Speaker 1: be a problem in the passing game when you have 95 00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: a running back that uh had over a hundred catches 96 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,839 Speaker 1: that says something about him and he's a guy that 97 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,719 Speaker 1: they trust and they get the ball to a bunch. 98 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 1: But I think it works well with him because outside 99 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:27,200 Speaker 1: you have to pay so much attention and then that 100 00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,880 Speaker 1: opens up for him and the tight ends underneath. But 101 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:32,720 Speaker 1: as the coordinator used to go out there and you 102 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 1: just try to understand where the matchups are and how 103 00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: they try to attack you and try to you know, 104 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 1: hone in on that and give a guy with a 105 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,560 Speaker 1: good plan safety rateon. Jenkins loved the energy from the 106 00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:46,000 Speaker 1: crowd at t i A bank Field a week ago, 107 00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: and he expects nothing less this week. Oh, I expect 108 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,560 Speaker 1: it to be crazier, and honestly, last game was probably 109 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: the crazy game I played in as far as the 110 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,720 Speaker 1: crowd and everything that was this crazy electric duvall. Y'all 111 00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: impressed me, and you're looking for it to the same 112 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,800 Speaker 1: thing that this weekend. All the press conferences and locker 113 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: rooms sound available on Jaguars dot com. Let's rewind the 114 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour radio from Monday afternoon and a review 115 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,440 Speaker 1: of the week eighteen win over the Titans and a 116 00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,960 Speaker 1: glimpse ahead to what the Jaguars could do in the playoffs. 117 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,920 Speaker 1: Tony was Sully and Pete Prisco are with US now 118 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:23,880 Speaker 1: and the Jaguars are the a f C South champions. 119 00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: They will host the Chargers in a wild card playoff game. 120 00:05:26,760 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 1: And Tony locked it so many weeks ago and it 121 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:34,679 Speaker 1: came true. Congrats. That drives Pete crazy that I locked 122 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:37,839 Speaker 1: it and worked because you didn't really believe it. There's 123 00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,360 Speaker 1: no way you did it. No, you didn't. You did 124 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,840 Speaker 1: it for clicks and hits and people is talking about 125 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: you because that's who you are. That's not who I am. 126 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 1: You know, I believe that this team was playing good football. 127 00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:51,880 Speaker 1: And if you look at the five game losing Street, 128 00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,040 Speaker 1: I could argue that they should have won every get 129 00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 1: one of those games. But even if they win three 130 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,560 Speaker 1: of them, they'd have been the best team by far 131 00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: in the n f C. In that couple of the 132 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,839 Speaker 1: injuries that the Titans and the way they were playing, 133 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: I felt like this, you know, the Jags, if they 134 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,960 Speaker 1: could run the table. They ended up not having to 135 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:10,280 Speaker 1: run the table. Um they didn't lose the one that 136 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:12,640 Speaker 1: Detroit that I thought might hurt them, But I didn't 137 00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,800 Speaker 1: believe that this team was good enough to make the playoffs. 138 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,600 Speaker 1: Did you just say they would have been the best 139 00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:20,200 Speaker 1: team in the a f C AFC South? Okay, Okay, okay, 140 00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: because I know you've gotten carried away over here recently. 141 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: I didn't know what you were where you were going 142 00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 1: with that, But it's your sounded like you said best 143 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: team in the a f C. Did he not South South? 144 00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:33,880 Speaker 1: That's what? Okay? And they would have and they probably 145 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: would have been a higher seed if they want a 146 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,919 Speaker 1: couple of those games. Yeah, absolutely, I mean they you know, 147 00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,800 Speaker 1: it works out how it works out, you know, I 148 00:06:43,839 --> 00:06:46,000 Speaker 1: don't think. I mean if you said, take a step 149 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:49,200 Speaker 1: back and you look at the top three seeds, I 150 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,280 Speaker 1: don't know if you ever surpassed them. You know, Cincinnati, 151 00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,039 Speaker 1: Buffalo in Kansas City, they are the class right now DFC, 152 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 1: and that's what we have to go. We have to 153 00:06:58,000 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: go beat those type of teams. We have to make 154 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 1: it now. You have to make a run in the 155 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,520 Speaker 1: playoffs where you get the credibility that you're considered one 156 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 1: of those teams that you have to do it more 157 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,159 Speaker 1: than one year at the same time. Um So, I 158 00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 1: think if you look at the a f C playoffs 159 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: right now, I think it's it's the Chiefs, the Bills, 160 00:07:14,840 --> 00:07:17,680 Speaker 1: and in the in the Bengals, and then there's a 161 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 1: gap between everyone else. I think everyone else is trying 162 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,280 Speaker 1: to fight their way into that top three. And this 163 00:07:24,360 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for the Jaguars to do something. 164 00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,000 Speaker 1: You know what, Jacksonville is not unlike the Bengals a 165 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160 Speaker 1: year ago. If that's you know, maybe you can maybe 166 00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:34,800 Speaker 1: you can get hot and get a run. And now 167 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:37,400 Speaker 1: the Bengals are around now and they're gonna be around now. 168 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 1: And I've said that before. I said Jackson was gonna 169 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,440 Speaker 1: be around for a long time now with with Trevor 170 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: Lawrence as the quarterback. So maybe this can be their 171 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:46,160 Speaker 1: year to put themselves on the map. And you know, 172 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: go upset somebody, you know, go on the road and 173 00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: do that when this week and then go upset somebody, 174 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:52,720 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden people start talking about 175 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: you like the Bengals are. Now. I think that's that's 176 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 1: the big that's the big task right now. Look, every year, 177 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: somebody comes from no where. Every year. It's too easy 178 00:08:01,880 --> 00:08:05,720 Speaker 1: to say that both conferences look very top heavy. You know, 179 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,120 Speaker 1: you look at the end of the NDFC is the 180 00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,800 Speaker 1: Eagles and and who it's for those two and this 181 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:14,240 Speaker 1: is three teams and so. But don't you think somebody's 182 00:08:14,240 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get hot and make a 183 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 1: little run somebody. That's what usually happens to me. It's usually, 184 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: it's it's very rarely goes chalk. We have the you know, 185 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 1: one and two seeds in both conferences in in the 186 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: in the title games. And last year you said it right, 187 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:33,960 Speaker 1: it was it was the it was the Cincinnati Bengals. Um. 188 00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,400 Speaker 1: The year before that, it was Tampa Bay. We made 189 00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,040 Speaker 1: a run and from the wild card and end up 190 00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: winning the whole thing. So it's right there for him. 191 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: I mean, you always say, and this is what's been 192 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,480 Speaker 1: said about the in the NFL playoffs for years and 193 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,160 Speaker 1: years and years, just get into the tournament because then 194 00:08:51,200 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: it's the hottest teams, the team is playing the best, 195 00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,000 Speaker 1: it's the hottest quarterback, where defense that gets on a 196 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 1: run and starts doing stuff that's special. And you don't 197 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,320 Speaker 1: get to have that opportunity unless you win your division 198 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: or give one of those wild card spots. The Jacks 199 00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:04,920 Speaker 1: won the division, they're gonna have a home playoff game, 200 00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 1: you know. And now now it's a new season. Nothing matters, 201 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: the records, none of it matters, and it's it's win 202 00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 1: or go home type of scenario. And that it's a 203 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 1: great opportunity for a team with the Jacks because they 204 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: should be playing, you know, pressure free. Okay, this is 205 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:25,520 Speaker 1: like we're in this thing. We're not here, We're not 206 00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: just happy to be here. We're here to win the 207 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,439 Speaker 1: whole thing. And let's let him go hang out and 208 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:31,920 Speaker 1: see what we we can do. Jaguars Happy at our Radio. 209 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,839 Speaker 1: Monday air's four to six pm on tinton x l 210 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 1: a M and Jaguars Social media that's Jaguars Twitter, Facebook 211 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: and YouTube. Let's move down to a preview of my 212 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,320 Speaker 1: weekly conversation with Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred 213 00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:47,160 Speaker 1: Taylor and his thoughts about the running back matchup in 214 00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,440 Speaker 1: this week's game. Austin is a good back. You know, 215 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: he's a good back. He's just outside of my you know, 216 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:58,880 Speaker 1: top five, but he is a solid back that you 217 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,559 Speaker 1: know he's gonna be there. You know, he's he's straight downhill, 218 00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:06,080 Speaker 1: you know, north and south runner. Obviously, he does a 219 00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: great job around the end zone. He's has a gang 220 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: of touchdowns almost each and every season. Uh. Not a 221 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 1: flashy back. You know, if I just looked at him 222 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,080 Speaker 1: for flash I wouldn't say I like his style at all. 223 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,080 Speaker 1: But I like his production, you know. I like that 224 00:10:22,120 --> 00:10:24,640 Speaker 1: he can catch the ball really well. He's a high 225 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:28,200 Speaker 1: target back out of the backfield, whether it's outside running slants, 226 00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 1: flat routes, you know, isolation ro outside of the backfield checkdowns. 227 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,960 Speaker 1: He consistently catches the ball well. Travis, on the other hand, 228 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 1: he's dynamic. He has burst, extreme burst, uh fast. I 229 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: didn't think he was that fast until you know, he 230 00:10:44,840 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: broke that long when a couple of weeks ago and 231 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:50,120 Speaker 1: he really got out of the gate. We don't see 232 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: Etler with a lot of long runs, but he like 233 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,680 Speaker 1: he is steady and consistent in the beauty about what 234 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,079 Speaker 1: Austin has going on over there. He has two really 235 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 1: good receivers that isn't allowed for the defense to put 236 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:04,800 Speaker 1: that eighth guy in the box. You gotta honor Keenan 237 00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: Allen and Mike Williams. Those guys are are are tremendous 238 00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,680 Speaker 1: threats in the past game and that's what makes Austin 239 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: you know, go. So yeah, it'll be good to see 240 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:19,400 Speaker 1: both of these guys get out there. Hopefully our guy 241 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,280 Speaker 1: out due and bounced back from a week ago, you 242 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:25,960 Speaker 1: know that. I'm sure he's uh anxious and ready to 243 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,600 Speaker 1: put up some big numbers because last week the Titans 244 00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,360 Speaker 1: did a really good job against our run game. But 245 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:36,040 Speaker 1: as you mentioned, ape charges hadn't been good against the run, 246 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,160 Speaker 1: So hopefully we can take advantage of that. Alright, Fred, 247 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: final thought whether here, the atmosphere last week was huge. 248 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:44,960 Speaker 1: Obviously it's a playoff game now, It's only the fifth 249 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: playoff game in Jacksonville. Ever, a lot of the playoff games, 250 00:11:48,760 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 1: of course, have been away. So you gotta take advantage 251 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:56,240 Speaker 1: of this environment. Manage your emotions. It's every mistake is 252 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:59,320 Speaker 1: magnified in the playoffs, you know how it is. You've 253 00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: you've been in these games before, Fred, So what can 254 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,320 Speaker 1: we expect in the atmosphere and the nerves and the 255 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: jitters in this game? You know, the atmosphere was amazing. Uh. 256 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:10,280 Speaker 1: You know, I pulled up maybe two hours before a 257 00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:13,360 Speaker 1: kickoff and the parking lot was packed and loaded. And 258 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:17,160 Speaker 1: that's football. Like, that is football, and that's what where 259 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: you know, what I had grown to be accustomed to, 260 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: you know earlier in my career. That that's football. That's 261 00:12:23,800 --> 00:12:28,480 Speaker 1: the beauty of of of football in Jacksonville. That prime 262 00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: time atmosphere, it was so good man. Uh make me dizzy, 263 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,360 Speaker 1: it is what I say. Looking around, you get dizzy 264 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: looking in the crowd. You know, it's so many fans. 265 00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 1: It's like the sea of you know till that was 266 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,920 Speaker 1: beautiful last the till out.

And and 329 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: it was interesting because it's it's been a long time 330 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: since you as a fan, and you can see it 331 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,080 Speaker 1: in the players where there's just a sense of, um, 332 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: just give us the ball back, we'll probably take it 333 00:16:10,680 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 1: down the field or something's gonna give. Like there wasn't 334 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 1: always a lot of hope. It was if you had 335 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: the lead, it was almost like, uh, let's hold on. 336 00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: And it's a different spirit, Like it feels like the 337 00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 1: team is in a different headspace. And I remember sneaking 338 00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 1: down to a practice this year preseason and it was 339 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: a different feeling right out of the gate training camp, 340 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,560 Speaker 1: training camp, and you could just tell it was a 341 00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: different energy. Um, and you know it was it was 342 00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: up and down here, but it seemed to never get 343 00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: off the rails entirely. And we were three and seven, right, 344 00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: incredible to be here, but you know, it always felt like, uh, 345 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: it was possible, and it's it's fun to watch it happen. 346 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean, you got uh, you got a coach, you 347 00:16:52,080 --> 00:16:54,280 Speaker 1: got a quarterback, you gotta take it to the show. 348 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:58,160 Speaker 1: It's pretty pretty good. I like our chances, So you 349 00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: were missing in the coach. I mean that makes a 350 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: huge difference when you're gonna like Doug Peterson around. When 351 00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: I heard that we were getting Doug Peterson, I was like, 352 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,480 Speaker 1: we're going to the super Bowl. Everyone's laughing at me, 353 00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 1: and I'm like, what do you about? As like, our 354 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: boys need to be led, they need a great coach, 355 00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,320 Speaker 1: and we got a great coach. This is the first 356 00:17:14,359 --> 00:17:16,160 Speaker 1: time I don't have to worry about if we're gonna 357 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: have good clock management or if they're gonna make good calls, 358 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,560 Speaker 1: because in the past, I'm sorry, I'm just I'm gonna 359 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,440 Speaker 1: say it, it was not good. But this is a 360 00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:29,040 Speaker 1: real coach with a beautiful attitude. He's gonna he's gonna 361 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,280 Speaker 1: get these kids ready. They're gonna go in and they're 362 00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:34,119 Speaker 1: gonna surprise people. And I'm telling you, I would not 363 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:36,959 Speaker 1: be shocked if we are a f C championship. All right, 364 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:42,400 Speaker 1: let's go, let's go. I'm walking it down. I'm I mean, 365 00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,959 Speaker 1: anything could happen once you get to the playoffs. That's 366 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:47,400 Speaker 1: the hardest part. I grew up in New England, I've 367 00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: seen it all. I grew up in the Groven years. 368 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:52,520 Speaker 1: Come on, I think we could do. I really do. 369 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,360 Speaker 1: I think that anything can happen once you get this far, 370 00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,680 Speaker 1: you know, and you you're we have the momentum. Come on, 371 00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,480 Speaker 1: let's go before conversation available on the archive of the 372 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,200 Speaker 1: Doug Peterson Show, and we'll hear final thoughts from the 373 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,239 Speaker 1: Jags head coach coming up. I An Eagle has been 374 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 1: with CBS Sports as a play by play announcer since 375 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,600 Speaker 1: but he's called Thursday Night football on Westwood One for 376 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,280 Speaker 1: the last fifteen seasons. He has the call of Saturday's 377 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,280 Speaker 1: game on Westwood one Radio, and we talked this week 378 00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:24,040 Speaker 1: about the future of the quarterback position in the a 379 00:18:24,240 --> 00:18:26,960 Speaker 1: f C for at least the next decade. Yeah, and 380 00:18:27,040 --> 00:18:29,879 Speaker 1: that's why you have to get it right when you 381 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: have a high pick in the draft and their quarterbacks 382 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,280 Speaker 1: on the board. If you don't get it right, it 383 00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,399 Speaker 1: can set your franchise back many years. The Jets are 384 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:43,160 Speaker 1: feeling this right now. The Chargers in Jacksonville are very 385 00:18:43,280 --> 00:18:46,320 Speaker 1: confident in the picks that they made and the way 386 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: that it's played out for three seasons. In l A's case, 387 00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: two seasons. In Jacksonville's case, Yeah, I think you're right. 388 00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 1: I think we might look back on this game many, 389 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,200 Speaker 1: many years from now and say, oh, yeah, that was 390 00:18:58,280 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: the first one, because there have been in multiple over 391 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: the course of the next decade, and I expect it, 392 00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: barring obviously any kind of serious injury for these two guys. 393 00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:13,840 Speaker 1: They are more of the classic quarterbacks compared to guys 394 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 1: that run and take big hits. Lamar Jackson the one 395 00:19:17,640 --> 00:19:20,600 Speaker 1: that's sitting this one out. We saw it with Philadelphia 396 00:19:20,640 --> 00:19:23,680 Speaker 1: and Carson Wentz was a big hit that that sent 397 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 1: him to i R and allowed Nick Foles to emerge 398 00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,200 Speaker 1: as the guy in Philadelphia to win the Super Bowl. 399 00:19:30,280 --> 00:19:34,399 Speaker 1: Andrew luck whose career came to a shocking halt because 400 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 1: I think he got concerned about his life after football 401 00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 1: after all of those big hits. These two guys are 402 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,800 Speaker 1: more of the classic qbs. Doesn't mean they won't run. 403 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:46,480 Speaker 1: We've seen it with Trevor Lawrence. He'll run if necessary 404 00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,320 Speaker 1: and he doesn't mind dishing out some punishment if need be. 405 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 1: But you know, the comparison is what JP. It's always 406 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: going to be the Brady and Manning incarnation and what 407 00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,280 Speaker 1: came of that that first layoff meeting and then the 408 00:20:01,400 --> 00:20:05,359 Speaker 1: fact that those guys were winning championships regularly between the 409 00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: two of them. I think that Trevor is really gifted, 410 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,159 Speaker 1: and he looks the part, he acts the part. We 411 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 1: just needed to see him play the part. And now 412 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,960 Speaker 1: we've seen it. No longer isn't theater of the mind. 413 00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:21,240 Speaker 1: We've seen it with Herbert Man. It was the first game, 414 00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,080 Speaker 1: literally the first game he played in when he had 415 00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: to step in for Tyrod Taylor at the very last 416 00:20:26,440 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: moment against Kansas City, that we all saw, Oh whoa, 417 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:33,480 Speaker 1: that's that's what an NFL franchise quarterback is supposed to 418 00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:39,680 Speaker 1: look like. Big, strong, ridiculous arm composed. Nothing seems to 419 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 1: rattle him. He's the prototype for what we're looking for 420 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: at that position, the rocket arm, all the physical tools, 421 00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:51,359 Speaker 1: and he's done everything that they hoped that he would 422 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 1: do and then some he didn't have. All his weapons 423 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: is here and here we are again leading up to 424 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,560 Speaker 1: this game, not exactly sure what's gonna happen with Mike Williams. 425 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: So Herbert's dealt with it before and he's just relentless 426 00:21:06,080 --> 00:21:09,200 Speaker 1: in his pursuit of being the best guy doing this 427 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: job in the NFL. The Conversation with Iron Eagle available 428 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:16,600 Speaker 1: on the Official Jaguars podcast network starting Saturday now at 429 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:20,320 Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime. Wednesday morning, Tony Dungee is the analyst this 430 00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,040 Speaker 1: week on NBC Sports and the Hall of Fame Coach 431 00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: joined Brian Sexton and John Osier to discuss the Jags 432 00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,800 Speaker 1: resurgence and the man at the helm, head coach Doug Peterson. Well, 433 00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:31,560 Speaker 1: I have to tell you, I have a vote on 434 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:34,960 Speaker 1: the AP Awards, and I voted for Doug for Coach 435 00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,960 Speaker 1: of the Year because I think what he has done. 436 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: I knew he would do well, and I knew he 437 00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: had transfuse energy into this franchise and get them going, 438 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,320 Speaker 1: but I thought it would be a couple of years 439 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:49,159 Speaker 1: to really get it. And they clicked in after about 440 00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:53,000 Speaker 1: eight weeks. Uh, it's amazing. We had the Hall of 441 00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: Fame game for NBC we're broadcasting, and I was down 442 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:59,520 Speaker 1: on the field before the game, just kind of watching, 443 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000 Speaker 1: taking notes, and Josh Allen came up to me and 444 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: he said, we are going to be on your show. 445 00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:08,399 Speaker 1: We're gonna be on Sunday Night Football by the end 446 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,440 Speaker 1: of the year. We're a good team. People don't know it, 447 00:22:10,520 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: but I promise you we're gonna be there. And we 448 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,200 Speaker 1: talked about that and he was right. Uh. He said 449 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,920 Speaker 1: he could feel the energy. He thought coach Peterson was 450 00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,120 Speaker 1: the right person for them, and I felt that from 451 00:22:21,160 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: everybody there. Guys were so excited that it was genuine 452 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,120 Speaker 1: and they've done it. Coach. I'm not sure how well 453 00:22:28,280 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: you know Doug, but you know and working with you 454 00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: for the seven or eight years we worked together, and 455 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: they're working with Doug. So many similarities to me in 456 00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 1: terms of approach, in terms of the calmness, in terms 457 00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:42,639 Speaker 1: of keeping things in an even keel. I'm wondering if 458 00:22:42,680 --> 00:22:44,840 Speaker 1: you know him that well and if you see some 459 00:22:44,920 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 1: of those similarities, I really do. I I got to 460 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,760 Speaker 1: know Doug their Super Bowl year in Philadelphia. I was 461 00:22:51,840 --> 00:22:54,720 Speaker 1: working for NBC. We had the game, and my assignment 462 00:22:55,040 --> 00:22:57,159 Speaker 1: for the two weeks leading up to that was to 463 00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:00,440 Speaker 1: track the Eagles and report on him. So I was 464 00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:03,400 Speaker 1: in Philadelphia for a week and I saw the same 465 00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:06,080 Speaker 1: type of thing. I saw how the players talked about him. 466 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:10,239 Speaker 1: I saw their response to adversity. And that year, if 467 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:14,040 Speaker 1: you'll remember, Nick Foles had to take over um for 468 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,879 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz. Wentz got hurt, and everybody said, oh, the 469 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,760 Speaker 1: season's over. We had a great run, but now it's 470 00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:23,399 Speaker 1: not gonna work. And none of the players felt that. 471 00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: Everyone felt Coach Peterson will figure this out and that calmness, 472 00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 1: in that sense of we're gonna be okay, that's that's 473 00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:34,680 Speaker 1: what he transmits. Coach, this team has an incredible number 474 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: of free agents that contribute for it. And when you 475 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 1: were with the Colts, it was not a free agent 476 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: based team. But I'm wondering if you could speak to 477 00:23:41,240 --> 00:23:43,119 Speaker 1: how difficult it is for a coach and for a 478 00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,680 Speaker 1: team to come together the way this team has. All 479 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: three wide receivers are all three of their leading receivers 480 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:51,800 Speaker 1: are new this year. Aluikan's knew this year, Brandon Sheriff's 481 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,119 Speaker 1: knew this year. That's a lot to come together in 482 00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,760 Speaker 1: one off season. And that's why I voted for for 483 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: Doug for Coach of the Year, because that is a 484 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: difficult task. Usually that's a two or three year process. 485 00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,920 Speaker 1: But he's molded these guys, he's gotten them, gotten them going, 486 00:24:07,040 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: and gotten them together, and it's fantastic. I actually had 487 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,919 Speaker 1: uh phone calls with the two coordinators yesterday and today, 488 00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,679 Speaker 1: and both of them, Pressed and Mike call Well talked 489 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,159 Speaker 1: about just how these guys have stepped in, and he 490 00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: also said something very interesting to me. He said, we 491 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: didn't go after that big luminary, that twenty million dollar star. 492 00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:32,720 Speaker 1: We went after guys who were team players. We went 493 00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:36,399 Speaker 1: after guys who were hard workers. We went after good teammates. 494 00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:39,840 Speaker 1: And that's one thing too, I think, evaluating who you 495 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:42,879 Speaker 1: want and who you're gonna bring into the mix, and 496 00:24:43,040 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: they brought some outstanding young people in there. I happen 497 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: to know a lot about the Clemson program because I'm 498 00:24:50,280 --> 00:24:52,840 Speaker 1: very close with coach Swaine, had been around them, so 499 00:24:53,040 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 1: when they drafted Trevor and Travis E t N, there 500 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,080 Speaker 1: was no doubt in my mind the kind of people 501 00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: they were getting. And I think that's been the hallmark 502 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,720 Speaker 1: of this this building process. Coach, you had a team 503 00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,639 Speaker 1: in Tampa that sort of came out of nowhere, and 504 00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: UH and I made the playoffs and the city was electric, 505 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: probably much the way Jacksonville is right now. What's Doug's 506 00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,679 Speaker 1: task in UH getting this team to sort of thrive 507 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,080 Speaker 1: on that feeling but not have it overwhelmed them is 508 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,879 Speaker 1: that a thing. It really is, and you do want 509 00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,680 Speaker 1: to build on that and build on that energy and emotion. 510 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: I remember the year we we made the playoffs in 511 00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: nine seven for the first time in Tampa, and our 512 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 1: owners came over on that Monday and said, Hey, we've 513 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:39,920 Speaker 1: got people buying tickets at the stadium. Do you want 514 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,360 Speaker 1: to go over and say hi to them? And we're 515 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,280 Speaker 1: gonna pass out some doughnuts and juice. So I went 516 00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 1: over about nine o'clock in the morning expecting to see 517 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,680 Speaker 1: a line that twenty five people. The line was all 518 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,440 Speaker 1: the way around the stadium. And that's the kind of 519 00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,159 Speaker 1: energy and we saw it. Um you know, we we 520 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,840 Speaker 1: saw it Saturday in Jacksonville, and I just think it's 521 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: gonna be an outstanding atmosphere. You want to embrace that. 522 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:09,720 Speaker 1: As Jaguars players and coaches. You wanna know, Hey, our 523 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: town is behind us, our fans are behind us, but 524 00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 1: you still have to say, this is football, and we've 525 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,120 Speaker 1: got to go out and just execute just like we're 526 00:26:19,119 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: doing the regular season. Yes, the stakes are higher, Yes 527 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:24,240 Speaker 1: everybody's gonna be energized, but you know what, we've got 528 00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,120 Speaker 1: to do our jobs the same way and not get 529 00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,600 Speaker 1: too high coach. You mentioned having a feel for Trevor 530 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,719 Speaker 1: before he came into the league. I'm just wandering your 531 00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,479 Speaker 1: thoughts on him. You're with Peyton for a long time. 532 00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: I'm not asking you from comparison there, but what kind 533 00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:41,359 Speaker 1: of franchise quarterback in this kid? Be very someone mindset? Um, 534 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 1: I see a lot of those same qualities. A guy 535 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:49,159 Speaker 1: who galvanizes his teammates. Everybody likes him, everybody wants to 536 00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 1: be around him. But the thing that I think the 537 00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:55,960 Speaker 1: biggest quality that Trevor and Peyton have is they hold 538 00:26:56,040 --> 00:27:00,240 Speaker 1: themselves to a high standard. Uh, Trevor Lawrence us to 539 00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,120 Speaker 1: play well. When he makes mistakes, he takes it personally, 540 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,439 Speaker 1: so he's working hard, and when you're quarterback, is one 541 00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: of the hardest working players then everybody else since is 542 00:27:10,800 --> 00:27:13,560 Speaker 1: that they get in the same mindset and he can 543 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 1: hold them to a high standard. So I do see 544 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:20,400 Speaker 1: a lot of similarities. Jack's Drive Time airs Monday, Wednesday 545 00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 1: and Thursday on Jaguars dot Com and Jack's social media. 546 00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: Let's close the week with Jack's head coach Doug Peterson 547 00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:29,720 Speaker 1: from his weekly radio show Thursday night and his final 548 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 1: thoughts on the a f C Wild card playoff game. 549 00:27:33,000 --> 00:27:35,960 Speaker 1: Final thought whether here, Doug, we mentioned the rally to 550 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:38,600 Speaker 1: get back and win the division, but now it's in 551 00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:40,959 Speaker 1: the tournament. That's all in the rear view. It's about 552 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 1: the matchup week to week. Is the Jaguars football team 553 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 1: ready for this moment this week? And what do you 554 00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,399 Speaker 1: expect on Saturday night? The team is ready, you know, 555 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 1: we we've been I keep telling the guys that they've been. 556 00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 1: They've been preparing themselves all season for moments like this, 557 00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:56,920 Speaker 1: and we're kind of built for it. Um. You know, 558 00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: the preparation they've had these last last seven eight games 559 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: has really kind of put us in a position to, uh, 560 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,480 Speaker 1: to understand the magnitude of games like this. And and 561 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,280 Speaker 1: I tell you this, one of the things I see 562 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:09,800 Speaker 1: with our team too is there's no they don't get 563 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:11,520 Speaker 1: really high and they don't get really low. They just 564 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: kind of stay right in the middle. And and um, 565 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 1: they do a great job of that. You know. Emotionally, 566 00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,240 Speaker 1: they just kind of focus on their jobs and and 567 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: and that's what we asked them to do. And so 568 00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: they're ready. Um, they'll be excited, uh, you know, to 569 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 1: have a home playoff game. You know, here in Jacksonville 570 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:28,720 Speaker 1: is a big thing. You've been in the playoffs before. 571 00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:30,960 Speaker 1: There's nothing better, is it? There's nothing better this time 572 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: of year. Um, it's very special, you know, especially we 573 00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:36,800 Speaker 1: can host a playoff game and and then um, you know, 574 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,120 Speaker 1: see what you can do and listen, it's a you know, 575 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,120 Speaker 1: everything that must win from here on out, and and 576 00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:43,480 Speaker 1: that's a that's a that's a hard thing.
