1
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: It's time for our weekly conversation with Pride of the

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:07,640
Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, and here we go. The Jaguars,

3
00:00:07,640 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: now two and six, headed to Philadelphia.

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:13,240
Speaker 2: There's no room for air from here on, Fred, how

5
00:00:13,240 --> 00:00:13,520
Speaker 2: are you?

6
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:16,599
Speaker 3: I'm good, JP. No room for air at all. Man.

7
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 4: We've been saying this for a few weeks now, but

8
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 4: still nine games remain in the regular season.

9
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:26,079
Speaker 3: You're right there at the halfway mark. Still a lot

10
00:00:26,079 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 3: of football. All you need to do is get hot.

11
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 4: You gotta win one, got to win one, and then

12
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 4: you take that into perspective and try and get the

13
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 4: next one. But each week is it one season or

14
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 4: one week playoff approach type season for those guys, and

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,760
Speaker 4: they let that one last week slip away from them.

16
00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 4: They gotta throw that one out and just look forward

17
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 4: to this game. The Eagles are a really good team,

18
00:00:50,240 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 4: having won three in a row, so it'll be interesting.

19
00:00:54,880 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Big news around the Jaguars. Of course, this week, Cam

20
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Robinson traded to the Minnesota Vikings. He's been here's the

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:03,840
Speaker 1: last guy on the twenty seventeen playoff team still around

22
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: for the Jaguars, so no longer he's out of here.

23
00:01:06,920 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 1: This will be Walker little chance the rest of the

24
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 1: way to play left tackle in the final what nine

25
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 1: games of his rookie contract.

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: So what do you make of the trade?

27
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 4: Look, you know some sometimes change is good. You know

28
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 4: they're going to see what they have. I believe with

29
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 4: where Cam was and where Walker is now in terms

30
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:30,399
Speaker 4: of dollar for dollar, and I think when you look

31
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 4: at it across the board, where you have a Cam Robbinson,

32
00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,040
Speaker 4: someone who's operating under the new contract, and you have

33
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 4: a rookie, a young guy coming off his rookie deal

34
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 4: who hadn't played a lot, you have more leverage, you know,

35
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: with with the Walker little little and potential. So you

36
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 4: look at leverage and potential when you look at players

37
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: and all that stuff. So I believe it was a

38
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 4: good deal. Especially if Cam goes over and does well.

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:02:01,280
Speaker 4: It can turn into a higher round pick, an earlier

40
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:05,160
Speaker 4: round pick, I'll say, from that angle, So it could

41
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 4: pan out. You know, you can find a lot of

42
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 4: good players in that fourth, fifth round, even the sixth

43
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,679
Speaker 4: round slot sometime, especially at the lineman position. But it

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 4: is Walker Lodle's term right now. He's the next man up.

45
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 4: That's what you play for. You play for opportunity, and

46
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 4: when it's your opportunity, you don't look back. So I

47
00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,040
Speaker 4: hope he does well for all of you know, the

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 4: Jaguars faith for around the globe. He has two hundred

49
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 4: and fifty million reasons to play well.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,640
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens next week when Cam comes back

51
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: with the Minnesota Vikings to play the Jaguars.

52
00:02:41,280 --> 00:02:43,519
Speaker 2: We'll discuss that of course next week.

53
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm looking forward to that conversation.

54
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be interesting. We'll see if travese

55
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: etn Jr. Is back in the mix this week coming

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: off the hamstring injury. If he is, how do you

57
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: balance the carries this week?

58
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 4: You know, I think you go with with with with

59
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: how the guys are feeling. You know, understand that Tank

60
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 4: has had a hot hand even a week ago. You know,

61
00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 4: he got some carries in there, had a great yardish

62
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 4: per average carry. We all thought that we should have

63
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,080
Speaker 4: seen him touch it a few more times.

64
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 3: But he has a hot hand, and you know, he's

65
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 3: running very effectively. He's quickie sharp, he's.

66
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:23,239
Speaker 4: Downhill running with power, and the ham strings are tricky,

67
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,720
Speaker 4: you know, So even though there's a potential chance that

68
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 4: Travis can shut up. The ham strings are one of

69
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:34,360
Speaker 4: those tricky It's one of the trickier injuries you can have.

70
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 4: As soon as you think you're ready from practice, you

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: get in the game and try to burst and explode

72
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 4: and it lets you downs, like having a flat tire

73
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 4: doing sixty.

74
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 3: Five or nine ninety five or JTB.

75
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:50,640
Speaker 4: Park Well he or something you just pull over frustrated

76
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 4: and the P word it's off.

77
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 3: That kind of stuff.

78
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:59,560
Speaker 4: So, and that's what we'll see if he has any setbacks.

79
00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 4: But we're gonna hope that he doesn't have set backs

80
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 4: and they'll get back to being that one to two punch.

81
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: You know, I think it's good, and I've said this

82
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 4: that it's better to have a really solid one two

83
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:16,719
Speaker 4: punch where you can, in theory, minimize the potential for

84
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 4: injury or even give another or spell another guy when

85
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 4: he's you know, sort of banged up like the travest

86
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 4: n So we'll.

87
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:27,919
Speaker 3: See, keep our fingers crossing hope he's one hundred percent.

88
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Fred Taylor with us.

89
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: This Jaguars defense this week has its hands full against

90
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: an Eagles offense that can run the football, physical offensive line,

91
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 1: a dual threck quarterback certainly but Saquon Barkley is there now,

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 1: second in the league in rushing yards. Give us the

93
00:04:46,279 --> 00:04:48,720
Speaker 1: scattering report on Saque from your perspective.

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,080
Speaker 4: Don't flinch. You can't flinch, I mean, but it's it is.

95
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 4: Saque one of my top backs. I've said that since

96
00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:01,440
Speaker 4: he's he entered the league six years ago. One of

97
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,839
Speaker 4: my favorite people, you know, on the entire planet. Just

98
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 4: the amazing person more so than a talented football player

99
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 4: that he is. Uh, he's the complete package. He could

100
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 4: do at all. He has the best jump cut ability

101
00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,440
Speaker 4: of all the running backs in the entire NFL. He's explosive,

102
00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:26,599
Speaker 4: he's fast, he runs with power, and if you flinch,

103
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,720
Speaker 4: like I said, he's gonna let you know. So the

104
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,800
Speaker 4: best way to attack Saquon is to just just just

105
00:05:33,839 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: go at him. You can't hesitate. You have to just

106
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: run through tackle and wait for the calvary to hope

107
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,479
Speaker 4: that they're there to rally behind you. But you got

108
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:47,520
Speaker 4: to shoot your shoot your shot, you know, and just

109
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 4: just go through them. De Troy pot Malu, you know

110
00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,400
Speaker 4: that sort of approach. Don't break down, just go And

111
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 4: I hope that's the coaching thing for this week, because

112
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: if you break your feet down to set your hips.

113
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 3: He's you're gonna give him too many the options.

114
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: And then you gotta deal with those other guys in

115
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 4: the passing game, which makes this game easier. Jalen Hurts

116
00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 4: zone readability. His mobility as a QB is accuracy. You

117
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 4: got Brown aj Brown out there, who's a monster, big, strong, fast,

118
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 4: He does it all intermediate, short, deep routes. DeVante Slim Smith,

119
00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 4: he can get deep behind you. Amazing prospect. Alabama just

120
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: recently got him a brand new bag. So they're all

121
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: paid up there, they're all excited. They're all on a

122
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,680
Speaker 4: roll now after starting two and two.

123
00:06:41,600 --> 00:06:43,160
Speaker 3: So Philly's a team.

124
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: I think they're they're finding their mojo and they can

125
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 4: be tough to reckon with if you're not prepared.

126
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: Finals at about this Eagles defense that the Jaguars will

127
00:06:53,560 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: have to face this week, I MA think Georgia players.

128
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 2: Can you have on one defense? First of all, I

129
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:59,640
Speaker 2: mean they're illegal.

130
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 3: It should be illegal of some sort.

131
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 4: I mean, this is why Georgia has been as good

132
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 4: as they've been the past several years. In college. They

133
00:07:11,600 --> 00:07:16,239
Speaker 4: have tremendous athletes coming out of Georgia the past several years.

134
00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: And not only that, the guys that come from those defenses,

135
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 4: you know, at all levels, you know, linemen, linebackers, secondary,

136
00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 4: they've been absolutely great. And I don't know the real

137
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 4: answer jp to that question, but they should make you

138
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,960
Speaker 4: cap you know, cap at like half or fifty of

139
00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 4: your players. But there's very good defense and they're only

140
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 4: getting better.

141
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:44,560
Speaker 2: They're all getting better. It's a good group.

142
00:07:44,600 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: They don't take the ball away a lot, but they

143
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: play good, solid defense all the way.

144
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: They keep themselves in the game. They keep themselves in

145
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: the game. You don't see them break down a lot.

146
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: You know, the secondary leader leader in big play, sligh

147
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 4: on the back in. Like I said, they got players

148
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:08,040
Speaker 4: on all levels. They give up some plays, but they

149
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 4: bend and don't break. A lot of times those turn

150
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 4: into field goals and they do just enough to stay

151
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,880
Speaker 4: in the game on a three game win streak.

152
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 3: Let's see how goes.

153
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,440
Speaker 1: We're about to find out and we'll catch up with

154
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 1: you after the game.

155
00:08:20,640 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 3: Fred, appreciate it. I'll be right here, be ready to go.
