1
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:11,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jags Drive Time with John Oshan Hurst and

2
00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:42,920
Speaker 1: Bryan Sexty Sexton James Drive. John starts right now, We're

3
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: about to go to SAP. What a help to st Hell,

4
00:00:50,240 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: let's go many shot one the time, Hurt Hurt. Honestly,

5
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 1: I think we could just keep rolling that for the

6
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: next twenty minutes and the numbers would could be the same.

7
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 1: It's a it's phenomenal and you know Brian Section, by

8
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: the way, along with John Osire here for Jack's Drive

9
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: Time on a Monday morning playoff week. We've got lots

10
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: to talk about John over the last when that's five

11
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: straight wins, but over the last month we've seen a

12
00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: lot of celebration and enjoyment of the moments with this team,

13
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, the late season surge and the success. But

14
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: that video right there tells you the difference between a

15
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: regular season win and essentially a playoff win, which was

16
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,000
Speaker 1: what Saturday night was well and it shows you the

17
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:44,400
Speaker 1: h everything, the buy in, the enthusiasm, the love of

18
00:02:44,440 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: Doug Peterson, the love of these guys have of each other,

19
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 1: and it's been a real thing this year throughout um

20
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:55,680
Speaker 1: though it was cool Ray Sean Jenkins and Josh Allen

21
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,840
Speaker 1: hugging Dug and you just thought what these guys went through,

22
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: you know, only way we went through. And that's an

23
00:03:01,720 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: old storyline now, but for those guys, that's really not

24
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 1: an old story you know, it's they went through a

25
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:12,040
Speaker 1: lot veteran guys. Ray Sean Jenkins comes in here last

26
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:15,280
Speaker 1: year under a completely different circumstance, and I keep talking

27
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 1: about these veterans, these free agent veterans who all of

28
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 1: a sudden it become leaders. And then I think you

29
00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: also saw the youthful enthusiasm around this the freshness, the

30
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 1: newness that I talked about last week. As a player

31
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: and as a team, you only get this feeling once.

32
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:32,760
Speaker 1: I think this team is gonna be good for a

33
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: long time. But you only get this feeling of wow,

34
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,720
Speaker 1: we've arrived. You only get to be young ones. And

35
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:43,160
Speaker 1: that's what that felt like. And uh, you know for

36
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,560
Speaker 1: two old men, which we are now Ryan, when we

37
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: experienced the word, I liked it. Yeah, well it makes

38
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:53,680
Speaker 1: Sason's nice old real. So for a couple of guys

39
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 1: who experience this, is that again. And I think what's cool.

40
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 1: I mentioned this a couple times last week. There's a

41
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: lot of Jaguars fans now who were young and are

42
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: probably now mid forties, who have kids who are Jaguars

43
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 1: fans who they who are probably sick of their dad

44
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: talking about how great ninety six was. Kids. This is it.

45
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: So now we fast forward, uh to Saturday night, and

46
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:21,359
Speaker 1: just a quick thought before we get two big things.

47
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 1: This team last week I felt like they were relaxed,

48
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 1: like they were ready for it. I didn't. I didn't

49
00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:31,920
Speaker 1: sense attention in the locker room or on the practice field.

50
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 1: And yet, how could you How could you not walk

51
00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:41,640
Speaker 1: out into that Bowl with the towels twirling and seventy

52
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: thousand plus fans who were there to see you and

53
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: not to see you play the game, but win the

54
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,880
Speaker 1: game because the expectations the Jags were gonna win. There's

55
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,360
Speaker 1: no way. I don't care who you are, there's no way.

56
00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:56,799
Speaker 1: You don't feel that for at least some period of time.

57
00:04:57,040 --> 00:05:02,120
Speaker 1: And I thought, I thought, Doug Um, and this is

58
00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: not remotely criticism a criticism, I think it was the

59
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: right thing to do. I thought he coached to that

60
00:05:07,520 --> 00:05:11,240
Speaker 1: a little bit, not manage yeah, not well, and in

61
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: the game, not wanting to have the team make a

62
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 1: fatal mistake in the first half. Uh, that sort of

63
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 1: exacerbated that feeling of pressure, if you will, because I

64
00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: think it was real thing. It was a young team.

65
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: He's trying to get him through that game as best

66
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:29,280
Speaker 1: he could. Um, you know, I didn't want to put

67
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in a situation where he threw a pick

68
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: to the side and it goes for pick six and

69
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you're down seventeen. Oh no, here

70
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: we go, you know the So I think that was there.

71
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: I didn't expect it to be there. Everything it was there. Uh,

72
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 1: that's said. I don't think it's going to be there

73
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:48,840
Speaker 1: at all this week, And that's my heart takes. I'll

74
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: let you hold off on that one. So let's roll

75
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 1: writ into big things and we'll start with five and five,

76
00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: five wins and five losses. The Jaguars experienced that five

77
00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: game losing streak in October had all of us either

78
00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: scratching our heads, are pulling our hair out, depending on

79
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,359
Speaker 1: who you are, And now they end the season on

80
00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: a five game winning streak. It's the highs, it's the lows.

81
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: The head coach immediately after the game was able to

82
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: put some perspective on what this team went through and

83
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,000
Speaker 1: how it helped them get to where they are at

84
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 1: this moment. I think it means everything, you know, to

85
00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,880
Speaker 1: these guys that have been here. You know, they were

86
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: at an ultimate low coming off the last season obviously,

87
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: and and um, now they're they're right now, they're an

88
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: ultimate high with with more football to play. And so

89
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:36,360
Speaker 1: it's you know, and that's really the the roller coaster

90
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: ever emotions that a football season can can bring. But

91
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: you know, these guys, the guys that have been here, Um,

92
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:47,160
Speaker 1: you can see it in their faces just how how

93
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: excited and proud and and um, it's not relief, but

94
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: it's it's um, it's enthusiasm, and it's it's it means

95
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: everything to them. They take it to heart and and um,

96
00:07:00,680 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 1: it's something that we can we can continue to build upon.

97
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,039
Speaker 1: By by any we're not where we need to be

98
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: or want to be. But at the same time, you know,

99
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: we're building it, and we're building it one you know,

100
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: kind of one piece, one player, one game at a time.

101
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,760
Speaker 1: And this was a really good start for us this year.

102
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Big thing too good enough and the Jaguars defense has

103
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,640
Speaker 1: been you know, during that five game losing stretch, the

104
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars languished statistically speaking, in the bottom of the league.

105
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,840
Speaker 1: They were just giving up too many yards and too

106
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: many points, and they gave up some fourth quarter leads

107
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 1: that had us wondering where this defense would be. However,

108
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: as we have seen in recent weeks, as the Jaguars

109
00:07:41,320 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 1: surged in takeaways and they finished the season with twenty seven.

110
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:49,400
Speaker 1: A year ago they had nine seven, this defense pushed

111
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:51,480
Speaker 1: a little bit here and there, yet when they have to,

112
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 1: they make the play. Good enough is good enough. I

113
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,440
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing, uh, we can take away just

114
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: from those two moments is the sense of urgency. We

115
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:04,680
Speaker 1: kind of knew how the game was going. You know,

116
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 1: they was running the ball and then they was given

117
00:08:07,160 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: that there was going the ball quick. So if he

118
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: was going to draw back past, he gonna get it

119
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: all quick. So since the urgency had to be there,

120
00:08:13,360 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: so Harden to go out there and make a play

121
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: with He's been getting pressure with again, pressure all game,

122
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: and you know that one a little second when he

123
00:08:20,440 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 1: held it just a little bit longer, we made a

124
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: play making a play. Since the urgency, man, I gotta

125
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: watch that tape. Man, he cut that corner, so clean.

126
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 1: I've just seen it too, brother, it was clean. Uh,

127
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:35,439
Speaker 1: but again, since the urgency, it's the it's the it's

128
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 1: the plan for one another is to know if he

129
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: do his part, I'm gonna do my part and we're

130
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: gonna win this game. Hold onto that last part because

131
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: it's my hot take and I want to tie you

132
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 1: into it. Finally better than ever. Hey, look, John said,

133
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 1: we're old. We're certainly seasoned. We've been here. Both of

134
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:53,480
Speaker 1: us were here during that run in nine and in

135
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 1: ninety nine. We've seen the stadium when it hasn't been

136
00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,160
Speaker 1: at its best and when it's been really good. On

137
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: Saturday it was as good it's just ever been. It

138
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,800
Speaker 1: says a lot just you know, just how the fans

139
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,640
Speaker 1: have rallied around us this year as this season has

140
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 1: gone on, and you know, obviously late in the year

141
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: like like we've been playing and to see the stadium

142
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: pat tonight was was awesome. One of the best game

143
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: environments I've I've been in, honestly, So it was it

144
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: was special. They were loud all game. Um, it's really

145
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: really cool. It's a cool experience that I always remember that.

146
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 1: So hopefully we'll do the same thing next week. We're

147
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna need it, so it'll be fun. And speaking of

148
00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:36,040
Speaker 1: next week, UF again prime time Saturday night for the

149
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:39,760
Speaker 1: second consecutive week. Obviously, that's the first time that's happened

150
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: in franchise history. And I'm told that the game is

151
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: very close to being sold out on a Monday, And

152
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 1: that doesn't always happen with playoff tickets, right because people

153
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: don't necessarily budget that, and it's just after Christmas, so

154
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: sometimes you gotta work to get the playoff tickets sold.

155
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,080
Speaker 1: And that's not the case. People are snatching them up

156
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,719
Speaker 1: left and right. You know, there's so much to talk

157
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: about that we won't get to everything today. But something interesting,

158
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: and it maybe interests me because I was here in

159
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:09,679
Speaker 1: nineties six, and I was and I was here as

160
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: a kid when you know, the whole trying to get

161
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: the franchise thing. And then I've gotten to know a

162
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,400
Speaker 1: lot of Jaguars fans through social media, through the Bold

163
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 1: City regade, through through the people that I like and

164
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,880
Speaker 1: respect and I feel like I care about at this point, Um,

165
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 1: here's what's interesting, Brian. When they won in nineties six,

166
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: when they got good in the nineties, Um, nobody knew

167
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: how hard it was because it happened so fast. Well,

168
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: guess what, Jaguars fans know how hard it is now

169
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,200
Speaker 1: so um and and I'm making light of a little bit.

170
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:45,040
Speaker 1: But if you're a fan, you have seen for ten

171
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 1: years how hard it is and how rare it can be,

172
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: and you've suffered within the context of what football means

173
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: for suffering. But as a fan, you've suffered, You've cried,

174
00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:59,520
Speaker 1: you've been lampooned by the national media, you've been told

175
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: you're not a good fan. Um. So, I think in

176
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: that sense for a lot of fans, for a huge

177
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: core of this that Saturday Night was special in a

178
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 1: way that the nineties couldn't have been. Because the nineties

179
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,400
Speaker 1: they got good so fast. I'm not taking down what

180
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: they did. It was a great era, but they got

181
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: good so fast that even me, as a reporter covered

182
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: in the league, I didn't realize how hard it was

183
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: to get good. And then I go to Indy and

184
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,520
Speaker 1: you know they're good every year. Well, the last ten

185
00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 1: years have taught me that. You know, as hard as

186
00:11:29,120 --> 00:11:32,120
Speaker 1: I knew it was, it's really hard. So all the

187
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 1: fans watching, all the fans have watched this on the podcast,

188
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 1: whatever enjoy it. I know you are, and you've earned

189
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:41,280
Speaker 1: these moments and it's about to get fun again. So this,

190
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 1: this first block of of our shoulder this morning, is

191
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:46,640
Speaker 1: about perspective. So before we take a break and come

192
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 1: back with highlights, here's the perspective for you. If you

193
00:11:49,880 --> 00:11:53,520
Speaker 1: were to put a symbol next to January nine two,

194
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: which is the day that the Jaguars beat the Colts

195
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 1: and knocked them out of the playoffs, it still would

196
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 1: have been a question mark, Right, what did one cost

197
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in this team in terms of progress and

198
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 1: what was going to happen in terms of who they

199
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:09,439
Speaker 1: were going to hire and what they were going to

200
00:12:09,520 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: get done in year two with Trevor. Well, here we

201
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,240
Speaker 1: are one year later. That was st five days ago

202
00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: today and the gesture is exclamation point, right, So with

203
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: a bullet what they've done in one year from that

204
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:30,480
Speaker 1: void to this mountaintop, it can't go unnoticed or unspoken.

205
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 1: It's epically, unbelievably, dramatically an incredible turnaround. Yeah, and again,

206
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:42,000
Speaker 1: fancy get tired of comparison, but it's sort of a

207
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 1: benchmarkt And I'm not finding that people like to be

208
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 1: able to tie into the history of this team. Um,

209
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 1: but in a way it was and again taking nothing

210
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 1: away from those guys because what they did was hard

211
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: and what they did was incredible, and they went and

212
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: one in the postseason. But in a way, Doug had

213
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:05,080
Speaker 1: even a higher or a a a a more difficult

214
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: bar or uh not bar, but uh, I guess journey

215
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: because he had to erase a lot first, like he

216
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: had to. He talked about it in the spring. Yeah,

217
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,520
Speaker 1: he had to build that trust and he had to

218
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: get that thing gone. Um. You know, Tom sort of

219
00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:28,599
Speaker 1: had a clean slate. So whatever culture was here, you

220
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 1: saw the man was in the walls. I mean he was.

221
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 1: He was the culture and always was. And so it's

222
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:40,199
Speaker 1: it's a phenomenal job. You know. People always say, well,

223
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: did you know, because I knew when Doug got here

224
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 1: that at some point given time, he was gonna win.

225
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: He was the guy because he's too stable, et cetera.

226
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 1: And you say, you know, I don't know if you knew,

227
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,559
Speaker 1: but I said, boy, if anybody has a shot to

228
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:57,280
Speaker 1: do this, it's him. He was the right guy. I

229
00:13:57,280 --> 00:13:59,120
Speaker 1: didn't think be this quick. It felt good when he

230
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:05,640
Speaker 1: showed up. Yeah, and there's coaches who talk about being

231
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 1: the right head coach for a situation, and you talk

232
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: about being consistent, and you talk about talking about being

233
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: able to weather storms, and then there's coaches who are

234
00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680
Speaker 1: really built to do that. This guy is built to

235
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,040
Speaker 1: do that. And the job that he did during October,

236
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,160
Speaker 1: when I know he knew they should have been winning,

237
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 1: just to be calm the whole thing. Uh, It last

238
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 1: a lasting impression on those players, and not all coaches

239
00:14:33,040 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: can do that. And this organization now feels like by

240
00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: the way that he's in the walls, that this place

241
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: has adopted or at least it's gone a long way

242
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,320
Speaker 1: towards taking his personality. You're not scared of the walls

243
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: jumping out and not yelling. Actually, it feels pretty good.

244
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 1: All right, We'll take a break when we come back.

245
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,560
Speaker 1: Some highlights in commentary from Saturday night's big win over

246
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,359
Speaker 1: the Titans, giving the Jaguars a f C South championship

247
00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: feels good to say it. We'll say it a lot

248
00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 1: this week as we roll on with Judge Drive Time.

249
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: Jaguars Drive Time on a Monday morning, presented by our

250
00:15:12,680 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 1: friends at car Shield and time for some highlights to

251
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:17,880
Speaker 1: relive Saturday night. Now, reliving it means we've got to

252
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: go through the rough spots to get to the great moment.

253
00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:24,160
Speaker 1: And we'll start with the fumble in the first half,

254
00:15:24,680 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of people had their heart

255
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 1: in their throat at that moment. Seven straight completions by

256
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: the way, now for Trevor Lawrence after his first pass

257
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: because any complaint and this calls on the ground and

258
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:42,200
Speaker 1: recovered by Tennessee Henry the crush wegs tags calls. That's

259
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: on shot pass thoughts touchdown and at that point the

260
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,800
Speaker 1: Jaguars are down tend to nothing, and all you can

261
00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 1: think of is what are you doing? Well? Yeah, and

262
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: I heard that a lot from people in twenty one

263
00:15:56,360 --> 00:16:02,880
Speaker 1: almost house that, Um, but I know what Doug was doing. Uh.

264
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: He wanted to have some Yeah, I'm saying misdirection. I'm

265
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 1: not looking for the other word. He wanted to have

266
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,760
Speaker 1: some creativity and some things to make the Titans think

267
00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: without taking huge risk. Well, they fumble. It was a

268
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: huge risk. As a play caller, your feel for that

269
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 1: kind of a play is it's really shouldn't be a

270
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: huge risk. So he was trying to strain the defense.

271
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: I think without putting undue pressure or risks on himself

272
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: meeting as a play caller, as an offense. And when

273
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: you fumble, well, when you're drawing that up, I don't

274
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: think you predict the fumble, uh, or you wouldn't do

275
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 1: it obviously, But when you're drawing that up, that seems

276
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 1: safer than it looks in retrospect. Uh. And you know,

277
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: again one difference in this team, you're downten nothing. Uh.

278
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,640
Speaker 1: I'll admit I. You know I started writing a little

279
00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:02,120
Speaker 1: bit the other way because you can here we go again. Uh,

280
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: but this is not here we go again, Team no.

281
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: And they proved it with the next kickoff and the

282
00:17:06,920 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: Jaguars offensive drive two thursdays ago, and it's tend nothing Tennessee.

283
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: Dagner brings it up. Look it up, Jagner down there

284
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: and make fair and making some making some good decision

285
00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:29,840
Speaker 1: under three to go in the first time Lawrence came

286
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: down Jack Wars and that was an absolute laser. I mean, look,

287
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: all three phases. You wanna talk about complimentary football at times,

288
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 1: they did play that on Saturday Night and to have

289
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,360
Speaker 1: that fifty four yard return to set up this laser

290
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: of a pass from Trevor to Christian Kirk, all of

291
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: a sudden everything felt better. Yeah, And I think I've

292
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: gotten some emails in the last few days or since

293
00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: game of people very worried about the offense. Well, they

294
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 1: only scored this, only scored that. Yeah, they didn't produce

295
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:07,840
Speaker 1: other way they wanted to, and they all said that

296
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:10,159
Speaker 1: after the game. I think if if you look at

297
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: it from a are you worried about the production standpoint? Though, Um,

298
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,480
Speaker 1: they gave away eleven points in the first half with

299
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: the fumble and then when Trevor miss a in the

300
00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:24,240
Speaker 1: end zone, so yeah, you should have gotten the points

301
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:26,560
Speaker 1: and its open the scoreboard. But in terms of how

302
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,399
Speaker 1: the offense is functioning, um, you know, I don't think

303
00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,399
Speaker 1: it was a broken offense the other night by any stretch.

304
00:18:33,480 --> 00:18:36,959
Speaker 1: I think just the circumstances kept them from sort of

305
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: getting the scoreboard lead, the scoreboard edge they wanted. Uh,

306
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: and of course you got a close I mean, the

307
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: fumble didn't count as a red zone failure because I

308
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:50,679
Speaker 1: think it was at the twenty one or something, but

309
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 1: it was it felt like a red zone and that's

310
00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:55,720
Speaker 1: put a storyline we followed all season long. Yeah, so

311
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:59,800
Speaker 1: in that game, they gave away eleven possible red zone

312
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: pin points early. If you look at it that way,

313
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: it hasn't been there m O late. I don't think

314
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,159
Speaker 1: the EMO going four, but it hurt him on Saturday,

315
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,960
Speaker 1: all right. So the Jaguars drive down, get a field

316
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: goal to start the third quarter, and then the Titans

317
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,840
Speaker 1: get a field goal on their ensuing drive. So you're

318
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: down sixteen ten and wondering what's it gonna take. Maybe

319
00:19:15,359 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: a takeaway is all they needed in this possession. Jobs

320
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,760
Speaker 1: airs it out, Berks, let's talk get his TA intercepted

321
00:19:26,880 --> 00:19:34,240
Speaker 1: dot Campbell great returned about at twenty five time throughout

322
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 1: the night and when it mattered most sements was there

323
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: to make the play thirty six yarder by Patterson and

324
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,720
Speaker 1: that's three points off the turnover. So there you are

325
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:47,240
Speaker 1: down sixteen thirteen, John and now feeling like it might

326
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: be the team that has the ball last. Yeah, different,

327
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: a little different circumstance, but didn't feel like you could

328
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: have superimposed a j boy onto that play. And you know,

329
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: against the Chargers back in two thousand seven team and

330
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: again we make these comparisons right down that same sideline,

331
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,080
Speaker 1: not taking anyway away them players who do it. But

332
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: it just seemed like that and I feel like, oh,

333
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:10,920
Speaker 1: that's the kind of play they need. Uh and and

334
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: uh again, we talked a lot credit to Tyson campbell

335
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: um probably wasn't the hardest interception he's ever made in

336
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: his life, but turned back to the ball, got eyes

337
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 1: on it. Uh. And a big play that even though

338
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: they didn't get seven out of it in a game

339
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: like that, three points momentum swayings. Huge play. So now

340
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,120
Speaker 1: you're down to sixteen thirteen heading into the fourth quarter.

341
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: Want to show you a couple of defensive plays. Don't

342
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,240
Speaker 1: lead to scores or anything like that, but just to

343
00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: show you how the Jaguars defense boat up. We'll start

344
00:20:40,920 --> 00:20:43,720
Speaker 1: with Trayvon Walker had a big one wiped out because

345
00:20:43,720 --> 00:20:46,080
Speaker 1: of a penalty. Second and five. Here is a game,

346
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: and now that play was made out on the end

347
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: dobs is by time by Robertson Harris and the play

348
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: by Trayvon Walker. How many people can do this to

349
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:05,280
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry right, Derek's trying to stiff arm him and

350
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:08,639
Speaker 1: that is not happening. Yeah, and I get what the

351
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 1: storyline is gonna be. Eight and Hudginson headed had a

352
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: nice game last night. Okay, this this wasn't a sack.

353
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: So in the dialogue in the off season, nobody's gonna

354
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,840
Speaker 1: talk about that play because all the matters of sacks anymore. Um.

355
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: But Trayvon forced a big play in the first half

356
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:30,760
Speaker 1: on on Saturday by drawing a hold that took away

357
00:21:30,920 --> 00:21:37,720
Speaker 1: a by Josh um So making an impact. Um. You know,

358
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,360
Speaker 1: I can't control offseason narratives. But Traymont Walker played really

359
00:21:41,400 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: well the other night. I think if you were a

360
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: fan of this football team, when you watch forty four

361
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: on the Roy Robertson Harris sack, he forced it. He

362
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,240
Speaker 1: forced Dobbs to shoot up the middle and Roy just

363
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: dumped him. He was pushing the pocket and h his

364
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: his presence was dictating what the Titans were doing at

365
00:21:59,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: times the other night, and they were dictating the Titan

366
00:22:02,840 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: And I know we're you know, I'm short in time.

367
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:10,439
Speaker 1: I thought they did a great job defensively, young quarterback,

368
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: pushing him back, pushing him back towards his own goal line. Pressure,

369
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: pressure all through the second half, and it finally broke them.

370
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: And so I have to set this up. Seven left

371
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,440
Speaker 1: to play. I get on the elevator with Fred Taylor

372
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 1: to go to the field to host post game, and

373
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,400
Speaker 1: I closed my laptop and I had just written quick

374
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,080
Speaker 1: thoughts and it was tough way to end the season

375
00:22:30,400 --> 00:22:33,480
Speaker 1: because Derrick Henry was running for first downs and it

376
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: felt like they were gonna be able to run the

377
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: clock out on the Jaguars. Between the time that the

378
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: doors closed at the top and the doors opened at

379
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: the bottom, this happened. Dobbs is hit from behind, the

380
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:50,439
Speaker 1: balls out. They're calling us a flock at the moment,

381
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 1: and they returned by Allen for the touch stock Jenkins

382
00:22:58,280 --> 00:23:05,440
Speaker 1: hit Tobbs from now it's a touchdown. So the elevator

383
00:23:05,480 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 1: doors open, and I'd say to Fred, it seems things

384
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 1: might have changed, and we raced to the field. Yeah,

385
00:23:11,600 --> 00:23:15,720
Speaker 1: and again some mus talking about this game, but it Uh,

386
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,960
Speaker 1: I kind of laughed when Jeane fre Nett Aulorida Times

387
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 1: even a few weeks ago, was writing the Team of

388
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Destiny story. But when you basically bounced past a perfect

389
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: bounce past thirty yards of bumble, this couldn't have gone

390
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: better into Josh Allen's hands. Uh, what a moment. And

391
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:39,119
Speaker 1: you know, Uh, they worked their butts off for the

392
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 1: entire second half the defense, grinding, grinding, grinding, trying to

393
00:23:43,440 --> 00:23:44,960
Speaker 1: get that play, and credit to him, they got it.

394
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: And isn't there some iron new the fact that that

395
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:49,040
Speaker 1: wouldn't have happened if Josh Allen had been rushing the

396
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: past or instead he was back in coverage. And we've

397
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: talked about that, you know a lot this year about

398
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,520
Speaker 1: Alan and coverage maybe not being the best situation. It

399
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: certainly was, and that, of course leads to this leading

400
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: to ten points off the turnovers and they allowed just

401
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:14,040
Speaker 1: three second half points. Lawrence takes a knee and the

402
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 1: Titans look like they're gonna let it go, a team

403
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,840
Speaker 1: that had won four games total over the last two years,

404
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: and Duck Peterson told us, I want to win this

405
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:32,080
Speaker 1: for shod shot con and is eleventh year is owner

406
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:36,880
Speaker 1: here with the Jaguars, beloved, willing to spend, dying to win,

407
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: and nine of the previous ten years he had had

408
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: losing seasons, just the one winning year in seventeen when

409
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: they went to the a f C champ game. And

410
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 1: they have done it. Jaguars had won the a f

411
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: C South fifth straight win and it was the first

412
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: time they have swept the Titans. It's two thousand and

413
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 1: six and did that feel good? Yeah, and only the

414
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,919
Speaker 1: second time in franchise history they've done it. Um all

415
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,640
Speaker 1: the things we talked about last week, Brian that are significant.

416
00:25:09,280 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 1: One the South and beat every team in the South

417
00:25:12,600 --> 00:25:15,199
Speaker 1: for the first time. So you you can sort of

418
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,120
Speaker 1: walk around with your chest out that you really want

419
00:25:17,200 --> 00:25:22,520
Speaker 1: it and and you you earned this. And as arden

420
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:28,399
Speaker 1: Key said, they they run the South and U for

421
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: fans who have waited for this, what a cool feeling

422
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,080
Speaker 1: and what a cool night. And interesting to me that

423
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: you've had two winner take all games in this franchise's history.

424
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,240
Speaker 1: And you could argue that out of those two games

425
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: came to plays that are among the top what two

426
00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: or three of all time and maybe the most unlikely.

427
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:53,480
Speaker 1: I mean Morten Anderson missing happens one out of a

428
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: hundred times, he had fifty nine consecutive That ball bouncing

429
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,680
Speaker 1: that way to Josh Allen. The if you went out

430
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 1: and through that to Josh Allen a hundred times, it

431
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 1: would go a million different ways before it bounced right

432
00:26:07,640 --> 00:26:11,720
Speaker 1: into his hands. Dead run picks it up. Uh, maybe

433
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 1: it's fate, but it's pretty cool. All Right, We'll take

434
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: a break when we come back. Hot takes from Saturday

435
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,680
Speaker 1: night's victory and looking ahead to this Saturday night's playoff

436
00:26:20,760 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Called car shield Now.

437
00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:39,879
Speaker 1: If your car's out of manufacturer's warranty, don't get stuck

438
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: with expensive mechanical and computer screen repairs called car shield now.

439
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 1: Claws up. Okay, I thank you. Obviously, it's a feeling

440
00:26:54,680 --> 00:27:01,040
Speaker 1: hard to describe. I'm speechless. But Doug Tramp their staff obviously,

441
00:27:01,080 --> 00:27:04,400
Speaker 1: the players, um, you know what are difference they've made.

442
00:27:04,440 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: And really people showing up the fourteen and man and

443
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 1: woman in the stands that got us over the edge.

444
00:27:15,280 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 1: You could just see the look in his eyes as

445
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,080
Speaker 1: you stood outside the locker room in the early morning

446
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: hours of Sunday mornings, and how much he enjoyed that.

447
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: And and good for Shot, I mean, uh, last year's

448
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: time everybody knows all all all the Christians and all

449
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: the fans stuff after Urban Meyer uh and and shot

450
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: famously with that, Hire said I got it right this time.

451
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: Well a year later he hit it out of the park. Um.

452
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 1: And as much as people when teams lose ownership is

453
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 1: always gonna get criticized, uh wrongly in this case, in

454
00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:51,480
Speaker 1: a lot of ways. Um, But since he has been here,

455
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Shot has spent and spent and spent and tried to

456
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: win and wanted to win. It sometimes takes time as

457
00:27:57,560 --> 00:28:01,400
Speaker 1: an owner to figure out everything and to get it right.

458
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:05,359
Speaker 1: And there can be an element of good fortune that

459
00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 1: you need as an owner because you are hiring people

460
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: that you've done the betting work on. But you still

461
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: need luck. You still need things to happen. Right. Uh,

462
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: it's happening right now. Things are going in the right direction.

463
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna enjoy a lot of years of

464
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,600
Speaker 1: success now. Good for him, good man, I'm so happy

465
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,919
Speaker 1: for him. Alright, time for hot takes here on Jack's

466
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:27,400
Speaker 1: Drive time on a Monday morning, and we'll start with you. Uh,

467
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,400
Speaker 1: I was, I was still wallowing in my shod take. Um.

468
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: The Jaguars offense must be bolder on Saturday to win.

469
00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: I know we're gonna have more time this week to

470
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,680
Speaker 1: talk about next week's game. Uh, they must be bolder.

471
00:28:40,680 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I had said last week a lot that I thought

472
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence in order from them to beat the Titans,

473
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: I thought he needed to play though he needed to

474
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,959
Speaker 1: be special Trevor, which he had been against the Titans

475
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: before and against Dallas, and hadn't been in the two

476
00:28:53,400 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: weeks leading up to it. He had a couple of

477
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: moments where you have special Trevor um. But I think

478
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 1: they need that back on Saturday, and I think Doug

479
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:07,040
Speaker 1: Peterson and the offenses of approach will be far more aggressive.

480
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:10,520
Speaker 1: Uh And I think they will be bolder, and I

481
00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 1: think that's why they will win. I expect him to

482
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: win on on Saturday because of that. I don't think

483
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 1: they can win playing the way they did on Saturday

484
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 1: against the Charge. But at the same time, as Doug

485
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: has said often this year, the circumstances of a game

486
00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: dictate to how you play. I don't think they'll play

487
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 1: the same way as they did against Tennessee. I think

488
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: they'll be bold against the Chargers, and I expect him

489
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: to be much freer going after it. I don't say

490
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:40,520
Speaker 1: nothing to lose, because he always has something to lose.

491
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,320
Speaker 1: It will be a looser team on well, because they

492
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: look they're playing with house money. This year, they have

493
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:49,280
Speaker 1: exceeded the expectation. They have won the division. They have

494
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: won nine games, and we spent the entire summer talking

495
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: about six seven probably seemed right for this team. So

496
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: I think you can come out and play loose because

497
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,480
Speaker 1: you are now playing with house money. My take on

498
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,680
Speaker 1: your take if they're gonna do that and be bold

499
00:30:01,880 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: and go and score thirty points, which I think you

500
00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,800
Speaker 1: need to beat Los Angeles. Travis E t N has

501
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: to have a big game and and and obviously the

502
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: Titans are one of the best run defenses in football,

503
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 1: and for the second consecutive matchup with E t N

504
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: they took him out of the game. You need him.

505
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,719
Speaker 1: I think he opens everything up for Ingram coming across

506
00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: the middle and Zay Jones down the field. I think

507
00:30:23,040 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 1: the threat of E. T N is critical this week.

508
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 1: I also think too again, we've got so much time

509
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 1: to dig into the manager the matchup. One reason that

510
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:37,760
Speaker 1: the offense against Tennessee didn't really get that smooth feeling

511
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 1: is the Titans did the same thing the Texans did

512
00:30:42,120 --> 00:30:44,920
Speaker 1: to him in week five. Shorten the game. You know,

513
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,520
Speaker 1: I had a nine minute drive in the first half.

514
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 1: They're running play Cock down to two. When you're doing that,

515
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 1: you get out of rhythm offensively, and every time every

516
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 1: time you have the ball, you feel like it's almost

517
00:30:57,520 --> 00:30:59,360
Speaker 1: like a home run hitter. When he's hitting against a

518
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: guy who's pitching no no hitter, your hands get tight

519
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,960
Speaker 1: and you're swinging for the fences every time, and it

520
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: reduces your chance of success. I don't think this game

521
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 1: Saturday will have that We've got to score now feeling

522
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: because we're not getting the ball back for an hour

523
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 1: and a half. All right, here's mine and I'll say

524
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:19,800
Speaker 1: that number two, rays Sean Jenkins is the Jaguars defense.

525
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:21,920
Speaker 1: Now you're thinking, of course, he's got the two biggest

526
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: plays of the year, the interception returned against Dallas that

527
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,360
Speaker 1: won the game in overtime, and to play on Saturday night.

528
00:31:27,360 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: But it's more to the point that ray Sean Jenkins

529
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 1: was the target of the Titans offensive game plan. They

530
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: ran everything to the sidelines. They tried to get matchups

531
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: with him because he's not a coverage safety and he

532
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 1: was chasing left and right, and he's aggressive, and they

533
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,280
Speaker 1: were trying to take advantage of his aggressiveness, and so

534
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: he gave up a couple of third down and fourth

535
00:31:47,440 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: down conversions. However, when the game was on the line,

536
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,000
Speaker 1: when they needed to play the most, he comes up

537
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 1: with the biggest play of the season. And that's really

538
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,280
Speaker 1: the personality of this Jags defense. I talked to earlier

539
00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:03,760
Speaker 1: John that there are statistically challenged in terms of their rankings. Right,

540
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: They're not a team that's gonna rank in the top ten.

541
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,520
Speaker 1: They're not a team that's gonna shut everybody down and

542
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,600
Speaker 1: keep people off the scoreboard. Yeah. I mean, they did

543
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,959
Speaker 1: it against the Jets and against the Texans, but they

544
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 1: didn't do it against the Cowboys, and they didn't do

545
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: it against the Lions, and they didn't do it against

546
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 1: the Chiefs. However, when the time comes they need to

547
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 1: make a play. In the last five weeks, they've made

548
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: huge plays. Twenty seven takeaway twenties, increase from a year ago.

549
00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 1: And there's no no player that personifies this defense better

550
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,400
Speaker 1: than ray Sion Jenkins. Think about this, if you're I

551
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: don't know where ray Sean Jenkins will finish his career

552
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: here ranked among the all time Jaguars defensive players. I

553
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:45,400
Speaker 1: do know that if you're you know, if you walk

554
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: the hallways inside this office, there are pictures of some

555
00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:52,000
Speaker 1: of the biggest plays in Jaguars history. He has two

556
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,080
Speaker 1: of them. Um, if if if you took a picture

557
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: of the moment that he hit Josh Dobbs the other

558
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,200
Speaker 1: night and the moment that he broke free against Dallas,

559
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:08,200
Speaker 1: you would have two of what the biggest six seven

560
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: defensive plays in this franchise is history defensive plays maybe

561
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:16,520
Speaker 1: higher than that. I mean, yeah, it just um a

562
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: remarkable run again for a month for a guy who

563
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 1: again I can't tell you how unusual it is for

564
00:33:26,600 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 1: a free agent to come in and the circumstances he

565
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 1: came in, navigate that and then turn into sort of

566
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:36,240
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of guys go in the tank,

567
00:33:36,320 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: they want out even when they're still around. They just

568
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: just don't quite fit into it. You've seen it a

569
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,719
Speaker 1: million times. Um, none of the freedoms have done that,

570
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 1: but ray Sean, you know, seems in a way to

571
00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:51,680
Speaker 1: personify that. I'm hoping to get him on as the

572
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 1: ozone podcast. I love talking to him and thought, you know, uh,

573
00:33:56,440 --> 00:33:59,479
Speaker 1: what a cool story he has become this year. Alright, Folks,

574
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: the Jack sin Bille Jaguars would like to thank j e.

575
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,800
Speaker 1: A's frontline teams for all the work they do to

576
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,320
Speaker 1: help our community thrive. Please help us recognize j E.

577
00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:13,000
Speaker 1: A's frontline Team of the Game, representing the two thousand

578
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 1: employees who worked hard to serve you each and every day.

579
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: And our j e A lineman of the game from

580
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:25,719
Speaker 1: the Jaguars is Devon Hamilton John who was seemingly all

581
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: over the interior of the line against Derrick Henry on

582
00:34:29,239 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 1: Saturday night. Yeah, this, if Trayvon Walker was a true

583
00:34:33,560 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: defensive lineman, maybe we go to that direction because Trayvon,

584
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: again I was outstanding. And Josh Allen, if he was

585
00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: a true defensive lineman three or four. Maybe they are,

586
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:44,440
Speaker 1: maybe they aren't, But I don't know the stats, and

587
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,120
Speaker 1: I haven't talked to anybody on the on the defensive

588
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 1: line staff about this, but it seemed like every time

589
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 1: you looked up he was making a play. He was

590
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: making a play. And I guess you could say, well,

591
00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's still got yards or whatever. But I thought

592
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: what they did well okay. And I think most NFL

593
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,760
Speaker 1: people would tell you, if you can make Derrick Hennry

594
00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: work that hard for his hundred yards, then you're putting

595
00:35:08,840 --> 00:35:11,960
Speaker 1: over the course of the game, which they did. I think. Yes,

596
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry got eight and then seven a couple of

597
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:17,440
Speaker 1: times and got them out of situations. But then there

598
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: were also a lot of times where they got him

599
00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:22,919
Speaker 1: and then they're facing third and twelve or third and eight,

600
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:25,600
Speaker 1: and I thought that's what they had to do, and

601
00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,880
Speaker 1: that's what they did. Late in the game. They got

602
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 1: better at that, and all of a sudden, the Titans

603
00:35:31,480 --> 00:35:33,400
Speaker 1: were trying to come out of their own end zone

604
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Speaker 1: facing bad down in distance, and the Jaguars got him

605
00:35:38,160 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: a couple of times on that took advantage of the

606
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:45,960
Speaker 1: young quarterback. Uh So, I think you play sixty minutes

607
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:48,719
Speaker 1: and you grind against the Titans, you wait for those

608
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 1: big plays. They earned the chances to make their big

609
00:35:52,760 --> 00:35:54,920
Speaker 1: plays at the end of the game by limiting Henry,

610
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 1: and Devon was a big part of that. All right.

611
00:35:56,560 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 1: He's our j e, a lineman of the game. And

612
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,279
Speaker 1: we're back after this to wrap up Jacks Drive Time

613
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: on a Monday morning from t I A A bank

614

Speaker 1: think about study enthusiology? I I sometimes thought about studying

630
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 1: good to see all right? Um, just quickly, another prime

631
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: time game Saturday night. Um, we talked ad nauseum and

632
00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:25,239
Speaker 1: we will about this team. But just a quick thought

633
00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: on the Los Angeles Chargers who come in on the

634
00:37:29,239 --> 00:37:32,879
Speaker 1: the loss in Denver, but they didn't need to win

635
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: because their playoff they found for the game. Did the

636
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: playoff issue was seated? I haven't really checked on it,

637
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,600
Speaker 1: but it seems like they played their guys and the

638
00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:44,600
Speaker 1: two injuries and had a couple of injuries. It could

639
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:48,279
Speaker 1: be major. They'll be storylines all week. Um, Joey Bosa, Yeah,

640
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: and um Mike wams And I said, so two key guys.

641
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:54,919
Speaker 1: They were beat up when the Jags went out there.

642
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:59,359
Speaker 1: I don't really take much uh so long ago. Yeah,

643
00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,200
Speaker 1: there's not much to be had. It was, you know,

644
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 1: it was where the Jaguars knew what they were. I'm

645
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: sure the Chargers are different. Um, but one factor here

646
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:14,160
Speaker 1: that that does play in. Chargers played Sunday, Jaguars played Saturday,

647
00:38:14,239 --> 00:38:16,440
Speaker 1: and the Chargers are to go to Denver. Had to

648
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 1: go home and that week that can matter. So we'll see.
