Week 17 Is as Must Win as They Come | Week in Review: December 29 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

0:05
Speaker 1: This is the Jaguars Broadcast Weekend Review Podcasts presented by EverBank.
0:09
Speaker 1: I'm JP Shadrick with the best of the week from
0:11
Speaker 1: Jags Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars Utube. The Jaguars
0:16
Speaker 1: host the Carolina Panthers in Week seventeen, kickoff Sunday at
0:19
Speaker 1: one o'clock at EverBank Stadium. A Jags win plus losses
0:22
Speaker 1: by both the Texans and Colts would mean the Jaguars
0:26
Speaker 1: would clinch the division title Sunday. A loss, combined with
0:29
Speaker 1: Texans and Colts wins, essentially ends the Jags chances in
0:33
Speaker 1: the division. Since those two teams play each other next week,
0:35
Speaker 1: then it's a fight for the wildcard from there. If
0:37
Speaker 1: the Jaguars win both of the remaining games, no matter
0:40
Speaker 1: what the Texans and Colts do, the Jags will clench
0:43
Speaker 1: the AFC South this week. They might have to do
0:46
Speaker 1: it without Trevor Lawrence. If the quarterback misses the game,
0:49
Speaker 1: it would be the first missed game in his career.
0:52
Speaker 1: For the fourth time in the season, starting quarterback is
0:54
Speaker 1: on the injury report, but this time it's an ac
0:57
Speaker 1: joint sprain and his throwing shoulder. Lawrence with the media Wednesday, a.
1:01
Speaker 2: Little bit better.
1:01
Speaker 3: Today, the last couple of days has been progressing pretty good.
1:05
Speaker 3: So still sore, but yeah, it's feeling feel a little
1:07
Speaker 3: bit better.
1:08
Speaker 2: You've been a few different injuries this year.
1:09
Speaker 4: It's the most speed up in the season you've been
1:11
Speaker 4: in your football career.
1:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say collectively.
1:14
Speaker 3: You know, it's kind of when one thing starts feeling
1:17
Speaker 3: a little better, something else happens.
1:19
Speaker 2: Kind of been one of those years.
1:20
Speaker 3: But just this game sometimes you know it's unfortunate, but
1:24
Speaker 3: just keep battling through it and get back as soon
1:26
Speaker 3: as I can.
1:27
Speaker 5: So you won't do much throwing this week day.
1:30
Speaker 2: Because of that. Yeah, that's the plan right now.
1:33
Speaker 3: I mean, obviously things can change, but yeah, right as
1:36
Speaker 3: of right now, don't plan on doing much today and
1:39
Speaker 3: we'll see tomorrow. We kind of take it day by day,
1:41
Speaker 3: but yeah, not really gonna throw any today and from there,
1:45
Speaker 3: like I said, it's just you never know how things
1:47
Speaker 3: are gonna heal up and how quickly you're gonna recover.
1:50
Speaker 3: But right now, it's still pretty sore and still kind
1:52
Speaker 3: of working through the beginning stages of you know, getting back,
1:55
Speaker 3: so we'll kind of see how it goes.
1:57
Speaker 2: But that's the plan, right.
1:58
Speaker 6: Now, Why do you heal it quickly?
2:02
Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think, I don't know. I mean
2:05
Speaker 2: I think I think I'm blessed with some good genes.
2:08
Speaker 2: You know, I'm young too. That helps.
2:10
Speaker 3: I'm still young and can recover quickly, you know. So
2:15
Speaker 3: I'm sure as I get older maybe that changes a
2:17
Speaker 3: little bit. But yeah, I think it's partly that stuff
2:21
Speaker 3: that I, you know, have no control over, and just
2:23
Speaker 3: I think I've been blessed where I do heal a
2:25
Speaker 3: little you know, quicker maybe than some people. And then
2:28
Speaker 3: just you know, our training staff does a great job,
2:30
Speaker 3: our medical team, I think we have great plans for
2:33
Speaker 3: coming back and you know, being able to get back quickly.
2:37
Speaker 3: I think they've done a great job of just you know,
2:39
Speaker 3: taking me through different protocols and strengthening whatever it is treatment,
2:44
Speaker 3: strengthening all those things to stay on top of it.
2:47
Speaker 3: I think that's part of it, too, is preparing your
2:49
Speaker 3: body a certain way to where you limit injuries, but
2:52
Speaker 3: when they do come up, you kind of minimize them.
2:54
Speaker 3: So I think it's a mixture of all those things.
2:56
Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know.
3:00
Speaker 4: Maybe I'm wrong, but it seemed like you kind of
3:02
Speaker 4: had the sense that you were going to be able
3:03
Speaker 4: to play the following lea in your own head anyway,
3:06
Speaker 4: is that sort of where you are right now too.
3:08
Speaker 7: Thinking.
3:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, honestly, can't even really answer that question
3:14
Speaker 3: right now. You know, of course I would. I'll do
3:18
Speaker 3: anything I can to be out there and play. You know,
3:21
Speaker 3: this is a little unique because it's throwing shoulder, which
3:25
Speaker 3: can make things a little more challenging as a quarterback,
3:28
Speaker 3: kind of hard to work around that. You know, other
3:30
Speaker 3: body parts and things that are bothering you. You can,
3:33
Speaker 3: I feel like you can kind of work around a
3:34
Speaker 3: little bit, but that makes it a little tough. So
3:36
Speaker 3: we'll just have to see how it feels each day.
3:39
Speaker 3: So I can't really answer that now, But of course
3:42
Speaker 3: I'm doing everything I can to be able to play,
3:44
Speaker 3: but I don't know what that looks like quite yet.
3:47
Speaker 3: You know, here on Wednesday and it's still early.
3:49
Speaker 1: If he can't go, then it's up to backup quarterback CJ. Benthard,
3:52
Speaker 1: who's spoke in the locker room Wednesday.
3:54
Speaker 8: I mean, I think I've had a lot of practice
3:56
Speaker 8: at it for the most part. I think the first
3:57
Speaker 8: time it came up, you know, was kind of a
4:00
Speaker 8: little uneasy, just you know, trying to figure it all out.
4:02
Speaker 8: But like you know, it's that's part of the game
4:04
Speaker 8: is being a backup. You you truly don't know when
4:06
Speaker 8: you're gonna be in, when you're.
4:07
Speaker 2: Gonna be out.
4:08
Speaker 8: It could be one play, could be you could be
4:11
Speaker 8: in for an entire game, could be one play, And
4:14
Speaker 8: you just have to to roll with the flow when
4:15
Speaker 8: it comes to that kind of stuff and and just
4:17
Speaker 8: go with it. Last week, that fourth quarter you got
4:20
Speaker 8: to play in, So do you think that that'll really
4:22
Speaker 8: help you, let's.
4:22
Speaker 6: Say, if you have to play this week.
4:24
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean, I think any game experience you can
4:26
Speaker 8: get helps helps you. In a home run, it definitely
4:31
Speaker 8: felt good like being out there and kind of getting
4:33
Speaker 8: a flow of things.
4:34
Speaker 1: For sure.
4:35
Speaker 4: It stands out the most from the Panthers.
4:37
Speaker 8: Defense they got. They got a couple of few really
4:39
Speaker 8: good young young players Burns JC a lot of guys.
4:45
Speaker 8: I think they're underrated on you know, they don't get
4:49
Speaker 8: a lot of the worldly love and stuff that they
4:52
Speaker 8: should get. Their defenses playing at a high level and uh,
4:55
Speaker 8: you know, they've been really close in a lot of
4:57
Speaker 8: games and the margin of air between wins and law
5:00
Speaker 8: is so fine that you know, they're not getting just
5:04
Speaker 8: blown out each and every week that they're really close.
5:06
Speaker 8: So it's it's a thing that we gotta we gotta
5:08
Speaker 8: lock in and be ready to go this week.
5:10
Speaker 9: For sure, How does the team get their confidence back
5:12
Speaker 9: when it's feeling everything's kind of going wrong, they're just
5:15
Speaker 9: getting an early lead, Like, what are.
5:16
Speaker 7: You kind of attributing to?
5:17
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think just it's a mindset to start, Uh,
5:20
Speaker 8: And you know, I think just knowing that what's in
5:23
Speaker 8: front of us still is something to look forward to
5:26
Speaker 8: the fact that we're still are you know, the lead
5:28
Speaker 8: of our division. We have so much to be playing for,
5:31
Speaker 8: playing for the playoff spot and to win the division,
5:33
Speaker 8: that you know, our goals are still right in front
5:35
Speaker 8: of us. Uh, you know, it's like we're out of
5:37
Speaker 8: the hunt anymore. It's it's they're all still right there.
5:39
Speaker 8: So we have so much to play for. We really
5:41
Speaker 8: just have to watch the last four weeks and and
5:44
Speaker 8: learn From'm gonna get better for it, but but just
5:46
Speaker 8: move on to start a new for sure.
5:48
Speaker 1: Locker room is sound available on Jaguars dot Com now
5:51
Speaker 1: to huddle up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday afternoon, Bucky John
5:55
Speaker 1: Oser and I reacted to the injury and more former
5:58
Speaker 1: player who I don't know if you've ever had an
6:00
Speaker 1: ac joints frain. I'm gonna guess you might have.
6:03
Speaker 4: Oh I have, And if I could, I want this
6:06
Speaker 4: rope for you. Guys, you would saying out on your
6:08
Speaker 4: folder right here from doing it multiple times. And I
6:12
Speaker 4: can tell you that it's extremely painful and it really hurts,
6:15
Speaker 4: and there's nothing that they can do. They can't give
6:17
Speaker 4: you a magic peeled or shoot it up or do
6:20
Speaker 4: anything like that to make the pang go away. Because
6:22
Speaker 4: when you land on it and you're crunched on it like,
6:24
Speaker 4: it hurts. It's one of the many elements that Trevor
6:27
Speaker 4: Lawrence would have to deal with. The one thing that
6:30
Speaker 4: I wonder at some point he hasn't been able to
6:36
Speaker 4: practice because of all the injuries in those things. I
6:38
Speaker 4: do wonder if it gets to a point where maybe
6:41
Speaker 4: you sit him out for a game to let him
6:44
Speaker 4: kind of get back so then he can come back.
6:46
Speaker 2: He can practice.
6:47
Speaker 4: He can and play at I want to say four strength,
6:50
Speaker 4: but at a better strength than just kind of like
6:53
Speaker 4: patching it.
6:53
Speaker 2: Together and playing.
6:55
Speaker 4: And I know, when you look at both games and
6:57
Speaker 4: you'll say, hey, both games are gonna be tough, and
6:58
Speaker 4: they are going to be tough. I do wonder, with
7:02
Speaker 4: Trevor being unable to practice and so many of the
7:04
Speaker 4: flaws and the issues that the offense is having because
7:07
Speaker 4: of the lack of continuity, how much does his absence
7:11
Speaker 4: from practice kind of continue the disruption that they have
7:16
Speaker 4: in terms of being on the same page and the miscommunications.
7:19
Speaker 7: Yeah, I couldn't agree more. I mean, that's been theme
7:21
Speaker 7: I've been hitting all week. I the only way I
7:24
Speaker 7: could see him not playing is if he can't if
7:27
Speaker 7: he can't practice tomorrow and they go in another week
7:30
Speaker 7: JP with you know, it was a d n P
7:32
Speaker 7: last week Wednesday and Thursday and in very limited Friday.
7:37
Speaker 7: The way it's gone the last two games when he
7:40
Speaker 7: hasn't practiced, that gives me pause. I mean, he's your
7:46
Speaker 7: best chance to win, et cetera. But I don't understanily
7:51
Speaker 7: know that it's all Trevor Lawrence. But the fact that
7:52
Speaker 7: he isn't practicing is that what's causing the receivers not
7:56
Speaker 7: to be picking up some things in that offense. Just
7:59
Speaker 7: that continuity thing. I don't know. I mean that's any
8:05
Speaker 7: way to know, but that does it feels to me
8:10
Speaker 7: like it's maybe more a chance of him not playing
8:12
Speaker 7: that it has been so far. When I say that,
8:14
Speaker 7: obviously last week with the concussion was big too, But
8:18
Speaker 7: I think it's really dicell it was a throwing shoulder.
8:20
Speaker 1: I mean, let's be honest with you, Bucky. I mean,
8:22
Speaker 1: that's if he can't throw the ball effectively. You know
8:25
Speaker 1: he's having all this stuff anyway, I mean, all of
8:28
Speaker 1: a sudden you can't throw it, then you really can't
8:30
Speaker 1: operate the offense, and then the risk of further injury
8:33
Speaker 1: with this thing. You don't want that at all. However,
8:36
Speaker 1: the other balanced, Bucky, to your point is is a
8:40
Speaker 1: seventy five percent Trevor Lawrence your best chance to win
8:44
Speaker 1: that quarterback?
8:45
Speaker 4: I mean i'd so look, I can understand why you
8:48
Speaker 4: have to like suit him up and push him to
8:50
Speaker 4: play because you haven't been able to do anything on
8:54
Speaker 4: the other side, Like if you if you could tell
8:56
Speaker 4: me that, A, the offense is gonna be okay because
8:57
Speaker 4: you can run the football fo one hundred and fifty
8:59
Speaker 4: yards and it's gonna be enough to provide C J.
9:03
Speaker 2: Bethett with enough.
9:04
Speaker 4: Balance that he doesn't have to win it on his own. Yeah,
9:07
Speaker 4: it makes sense to sit Trevor. But right now, man,
9:09
Speaker 4: it's been bad. It's been no movement on the running game.
9:13
Speaker 4: You haven't been able to run it. You having to
9:14
Speaker 4: throw it every down. When you throw it every now,
9:17
Speaker 4: you don't have enough protection to be able to push it.
9:19
Speaker 2: Down the field.
9:20
Speaker 6: So it's a lot of screens and short things.
9:22
Speaker 4: And it's tough because right now there's been so many
9:26
Speaker 4: injuries and so like the revolving door everywhere at all
9:31
Speaker 4: the positions, it's just hard to hang your hat on
9:34
Speaker 4: anything to get the Jaguar.
9:35
Speaker 7: So yeah, well, I think we're sitting here watching highlights
9:38
Speaker 7: where they stream past and Cole Atlanta and Tim Jones
9:43
Speaker 7: were both in the picture. Not a knock on those two,
9:46
Speaker 7: but they're deep in the depth chart. So I think
9:48
Speaker 7: Bucky's pointing exactly right. You know, so much of that
9:53
Speaker 7: continuity flow whatever has been gone. I you know, lack
10:00
Speaker 7: of continuity and practice and the practice performance or the
10:05
Speaker 7: game performance post non practicing is the X factor. I
10:09
Speaker 7: don't I don't think Doug would would ever tell you
10:12
Speaker 7: they have a better chance to win with CJ. Beth
10:14
Speaker 7: in the game. Except if there are just no reps
10:20
Speaker 7: and no flow at all from Trevor going into the game,
10:23
Speaker 7: then I think he might consider is this a week
10:25
Speaker 7: where we have to say you just haven't practiced enough
10:29
Speaker 7: and we've seen that. I don't know that that's a
10:33
Speaker 7: given that that's the case, but I think it has
10:35
Speaker 7: to be considered.
10:36
Speaker 1: Huddle up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday at four on Jaguars

12:07
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor reacted with me this week.
12:10
Speaker 6: I feel good. I feel really good.
12:12
Speaker 2: Man.
12:14
Speaker 11: It hasn't all it hasn't completely sunk. I'm thankful, you know.
12:20
Speaker 11: I'm grateful. It's another step closer.
12:25
Speaker 7: Man.
12:26
Speaker 11: It's I try to downplay it, but at the same
12:29
Speaker 11: time it's a big thing.
12:31
Speaker 6: But I'm just I'm happy. I guess that's all internal.
12:35
Speaker 11: I don't know how to kind of process it on
12:37
Speaker 11: the outside, you know, because I've gotten a ton of texts,
12:40
Speaker 11: a ton of calls, a ton of people. You deserve it.
12:44
Speaker 11: The public they're rooting for me. Social media people I
12:48
Speaker 11: don't know, they're routing for me. So it makes you
12:50
Speaker 11: feel great, right, It makes you feel really good about
12:53
Speaker 11: it all.
12:53
Speaker 6: I know it's still a lot of work to be done,
12:55
Speaker 6: but what we asked for was.
12:57
Speaker 11: An opportunity to be in the room, and this gives
13:00
Speaker 11: us that opportunity. I think that now the fifty selectors,
13:07
Speaker 11: they have an opportunity to understand or get.
13:10
Speaker 6: To know who Fred Taylor was as a player, as
13:13
Speaker 6: a person.
13:14
Speaker 11: You know, maybe understand that I don't have as many
13:18
Speaker 11: touchdowns because I was taken out on them one or
13:20
Speaker 11: two a few times because I was that type of teammate.
13:23
Speaker 11: Or maybe understand that I faced the best defenses and
13:28
Speaker 11: coaches in a particular division early on in my career.
13:32
Speaker 11: Wasn't a one off. It was fairly consistent, minus the injuries.
13:36
Speaker 11: That's one of the bigger things highlights. Truly unfortunate, but
13:40
Speaker 11: that was because of how I played the game. But
13:43
Speaker 11: when you look at some consistency, the seven one thousand
13:47
Speaker 11: yard Russian seasons, my yard per carry average, I do
13:52
Speaker 11: have sixty six touchdowns, not a ton, but there's a
13:55
Speaker 11: lot of touchdowns there and some other stuff. I played
13:58
Speaker 11: against some amazing Hall of famers who can actually vouch
14:02
Speaker 11: for my career. And when we talk about the eye test,
14:04
Speaker 11: and I would say this and we can wrap up
14:06
Speaker 11: Hall of Fame talk JP. When Jim Brown said Taylor
14:11
Speaker 11: he's my best favorite back to watch.
14:14
Speaker 6: He's my guy.
14:15
Speaker 11: You know, I think that should, you know, wrap up
14:19
Speaker 11: and solidify the eye test category. I don't believe the
14:22
Speaker 11: selectors need to hear from anyone else when it comes
14:25
Speaker 11: to the eye test part and the rest. They can
14:28
Speaker 11: get it from the guys that I actually played against.
14:30
Speaker 11: Other coaches and in front office people that coached against me.
14:36
Speaker 6: They knew what I brought to the table. When I
14:38
Speaker 6: showed up on Sunday.
14:39
Speaker 1: Bret Taylor with us, how did you find out?
14:42
Speaker 6: Well, if I tell you, I might have to hurt you. JP.
14:49
Speaker 6: You know, yesterday, you know, I had been talking.
14:51
Speaker 11: I had been working with Sam throughout the process, and
14:58
Speaker 11: Sam called me out. I think we got a shot,
15:01
Speaker 11: you know, he went to spill the beans. He said, look,
15:03
Speaker 11: I think we got a shot. And then last night
15:06
Speaker 11: he called me again. He was like, this thing is
15:08
Speaker 11: going to go on at eight o'clock.
15:09
Speaker 2: You know.
15:10
Speaker 6: I was like, Okay, what is he saying? Is he
15:12
Speaker 6: saying I should tune in?
15:14
Speaker 11: But I fell asleep because I drove back nine hours
15:18
Speaker 11: from Destin from a Christmas trip. So I slept through
15:22
Speaker 11: the entire thing, much like I had been done in
15:25
Speaker 11: the past. I didn't know what it would come of
15:28
Speaker 11: what would come of it, But again I woke up
15:31
Speaker 11: to a couple hundred text messages and that was how
15:36
Speaker 11: I found out.
15:37
Speaker 1: On JAG's Am Thursday, Kai Stevens, Brian Sexton, and John
15:40
Speaker 1: Oser reacted to the news as well.
15:45
Speaker 10: See there he goes Preig Taylor, preakict tackles, He's on
15:47
Speaker 10: the run, spend five touchdown, preg Taylor and Jacksonville reclings colleague.
15:54
Speaker 9: On Monday night. Football moment for Fred always helps him.
15:56
Speaker 9: You can have those big games on a primetime stage
15:58
Speaker 9: to other people remember it as well.
16:00
Speaker 12: If you go back and look at that game, Fred
16:02
Speaker 12: had been hampered by a hamstring all season.
16:05
Speaker 2: Long, and he hadn't played a whole lot.
16:06
Speaker 12: That was a Monday night game and homefield advantage was
16:09
Speaker 12: on the line for the playoffs, and Fred didn't start
16:11
Speaker 12: that game and didn't play a whole lot till the
16:13
Speaker 12: fourth quarter. That may have been his third or fourth carry,
16:16
Speaker 12: and of course it was the game winning touchdown. And
16:18
Speaker 12: I love the fact that they show the highlight there
16:19
Speaker 12: at the end that about the four yard line he
16:21
Speaker 12: just puts sort of jumped effortlessly.
16:24
Speaker 2: From the four into the end zone.
16:25
Speaker 12: I mean, he was such a gifted football player physical specimen.
16:30
Speaker 2: He could do things that other people couldn't.
16:33
Speaker 9: John, what does this step mean to this process? Obviously
16:36
Speaker 9: we know he's made the semi finalist five times before,
16:39
Speaker 9: but to get to the final group to be heard,
16:42
Speaker 9: what is that process like and what does this mean?
16:44
Speaker 7: Well, as we talked about it, it puts you in
16:47
Speaker 7: the room and the conversation, and that's when the voters
16:52
Speaker 7: start talking to each other. Hey, sell me on your guy,
16:58
Speaker 7: tell me why he should be in It's when the
17:01
Speaker 7: voters start calling people in their area, in their world
17:05
Speaker 7: that they know a team president, a scouty scouted this guy,
17:10
Speaker 7: a head coach, a player who played against him, and
17:12
Speaker 7: they start trying to figure out who should be in.
17:16
Speaker 7: One thing that I think fans and observers of the process,
17:20
Speaker 7: when their guy doesn't get in, they get very upset,
17:23
Speaker 7: and it's understandable, I can tell you from and they
17:27
Speaker 7: criticize the process. There's no great process for the Hall
17:31
Speaker 7: of Fame. There's not another one out there that's better.
17:34
Speaker 7: What I can tell you is it is from knowing
17:36
Speaker 7: the people and being at Super Bowls when I've heard
17:39
Speaker 7: guys talking about this. The voters care about it. They
17:44
Speaker 7: spend a lot of time not with their jobs, but
17:48
Speaker 7: with talking to other people, asking questions, trying to get
17:53
Speaker 7: it right. They all want to get it right. There's
17:55
Speaker 7: fifteen guys, as Bisselli said multiple times, everybody on the
18:00
Speaker 7: fifteen list deserves to be in. So you're talking about
18:05
Speaker 7: sometimes it's not even the most deserving.
18:06
Speaker 2: Guy that year.
18:07
Speaker 7: It's how it falls. But there is a process in
18:10
Speaker 7: this that a candidate gains momentum sometimes over years. I
18:15
Speaker 7: thought it happened with Tony, the more he's talked about
18:19
Speaker 7: then all of a sudden he finished his twelfth that
18:21
Speaker 7: year seventh, and more and more voters say, you know what,
18:24
Speaker 7: I didn't vote for him? This year, but at some
18:26
Speaker 7: point we got to get him in. And that's sort
18:29
Speaker 7: of the momentum that can build for a guy. And
18:32
Speaker 7: I think that's what will happen with Fred. I'm not
18:33
Speaker 7: sure he gets in this year, but I think once
18:35
Speaker 7: people start talking about him and watching him again, the
18:39
Speaker 7: momentum is gonna build for Fred.
18:40
Speaker 1: Jags Am Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars dot
18:43
Speaker 1: com and Jags YouTube. Now to cap off the week,
18:46
Speaker 1: the Doug Peterson Show, where the head coach knows it's
18:49
Speaker 1: all about the Jags no matter what's going on around
18:52
Speaker 1: the division. You could clinch the division title a win
18:55
Speaker 1: and a couple losses from the other teams. I know
18:58
Speaker 1: you're not gonna want to hear that right now, all
19:00
Speaker 1: about the Jaguars though, right it is.
19:02
Speaker 13: And and we've got enough on our plates to uh,
19:04
Speaker 13: to work on and and to improve upon and and
19:08
Speaker 13: so we you know, it just comes down to just
19:10
Speaker 13: us taking care of us and doing our jobs and
19:13
Speaker 13: taking care of our business and and and focusing internally,
19:17
Speaker 13: you know, improving as a football team. And uh, if
19:20
Speaker 13: we do that, then you know, then good things are
19:23
Speaker 13: going to happen for us.
19:24
Speaker 5: And part of that is bouncing back from a game
19:26
Speaker 5: that was disappointing in all aspects. I mean, you've been
19:29
Speaker 5: a part of that, I'm sure as a player. I've
19:31
Speaker 5: been a part of that as a player, and you've
19:33
Speaker 5: been a part of that as a coach. How do
19:34
Speaker 5: you kind of regain the focus to bounce back from
19:38
Speaker 5: a game like that?
19:38
Speaker 13: You know, I think the number one thing is is
19:41
Speaker 13: to put it behind you as fast as possible. Obviously,
19:44
Speaker 13: you know, given given the players obviously Christmas Day and
19:46
Speaker 13: Tuesday off to kind of get away from us and
19:49
Speaker 13: us away from them and and really come back the
19:52
Speaker 13: next day and say, hey, listen, guys, our goals are
19:54
Speaker 13: still right in front of us. The goal to win
19:56
Speaker 13: the AFC South is still right there, you know, and
19:58
Speaker 13: we've got to do everything we can to fure out
20:00
Speaker 13: how to win a game and and and you know,
20:02
Speaker 13: try to win the AFC South. So you know, I'll
20:06
Speaker 13: tell you this, the guys are still talking the right things,
20:08
Speaker 13: They're still believing the right things. There's no finger pointing.
20:13
Speaker 13: If anything is, it's bringing us a little bit closer.
20:15
Speaker 13: And I think, uh, you know that's a good thing
20:18
Speaker 13: this time of year.
20:19
Speaker 5: Well, and getting closer is you can't do it with
20:22
Speaker 5: unless you're close. Do you bring in kind of that
20:24
Speaker 5: leadership group that you have on this football team to
20:28
Speaker 5: talk to them kind of before the week starts, or
20:30
Speaker 5: do you just kind of do that throughout the week.
20:33
Speaker 13: You do it kind of throughout the week, and you
20:35
Speaker 13: kind of let it. For me, it's it's kind of organic, right,
20:38
Speaker 13: you just kind of let it naturally happen. And and
20:40
Speaker 13: you know, in our guys, our leadership group, when I
20:42
Speaker 13: met with them on Wednesday, you know, again they were
20:45
Speaker 13: saying the right things and and you know they know
20:47
Speaker 13: that as a team and as individuals, we got to
20:49
Speaker 13: play better. Coaches know that we have to coach better,
20:52
Speaker 13: and we got to prepare our players better. And it's
20:56
Speaker 13: not a bunch of like major change. It's just focus
20:59
Speaker 13: on the details, focus on some of the little things,
21:01
Speaker 13: some of the simple things that keep you know, creeping
21:03
Speaker 13: up in ball games, and making sure that we take
21:06
Speaker 13: that to the practice field and.
21:08
Speaker 5: We work on them.
21:08
Speaker 13: So you know, but when it comes to the players,
21:11
Speaker 13: just kind of letting that happen naturally has been the
21:14
Speaker 13: best practice. Because again, the best teams I've been a
21:18
Speaker 13: part of, player or coach are the ones that are
21:20
Speaker 13: led by the team.
