• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Welcome into another edition of the Jaguars Reporters podcast. Following
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Week two, headed into week number three, J P. Shadwick,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, Kay Stevens, John Ozer recapping the final look
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: at the Week two loss to the Kansas City Chiefs
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: and a look ahead coming up.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: To the Houston Texans. Let's wrap up with tough loss
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: and all the talk this week.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: Most of it, anyway, especially in Doug Peterson's press conference
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: back on Monday, was about the red zone, the goal
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: line situation, third downs, and John lack of execution was
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the theme again on Monday.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and he hit it twice after the game Sunday
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: and again on Monday, and he particularly talked on Monday
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: about the frustration that everybody felt and if like it
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: just built as the game went on. I don't think
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: this is a long term problem, but during the course
• 0:58
  Speaker 3: of that game, so close, so close, so close, it's
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: a game of inches, and it was the game of
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: inches for sixty minutes for the Jaguars Sunday, and they
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: never could quite make that play to sort of, I guess, Brian,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: he sort of felt if they'd made one play right,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: maybe if Christian Kirk doesn't get tripped up on the
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: long pass and walks into the end zone.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: All of a sudden, the damn would have broken. But
• 1:24
  Speaker 4: it just never did well. I think all you guys
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: probably would agree.
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: We expected them to do that, right, I mean, we
• 1:28
  Speaker 5: had seen this offense through the preseason and even back
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: to last season. We thought they were beyond the point
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: that they would be unable to get it going. And
• 1:38
  Speaker 5: yet it just seemed series to series, the frustration built,
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: and they never The quarterback just was not himself. He
• 1:47
  Speaker 5: missed say Jones in the back of the end zone.
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: What does that happen? And the ball wasn't just high,
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: it was behind him. That was when I went, Okay,
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: this is just not happening today. And if I have
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: any regret at all for the loss, it's not the
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: loss that's this the Super Bowl Champs JP, is the
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: fact that the offense didn't step up on at the
• 2:05
  Speaker 5: big stage when we expected them to. There'll be others
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: this year, but in that one where we're talking about
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: you want to get whole field advantage. You don't want
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: to go to Kansas City. This is a big game
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: to get ky They didn't get a ton I.
• 2:15
  Speaker 6: Missed opportunity for sure, And when you look at it,
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: the defense played as well as we've seen them play
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: and couldn't really ask for much more of them. They're
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: forcing turnovers, they're holding the Chiefs to seventeen points. I
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: think we said on jag Zam at one point, if
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: I told you they were going to create turnovers and
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: hold the Chiefs to seventeen points, you would think.
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: That would mean in Jaguars win.
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: It was not that, And I think that's the frustrating part,
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: at least from outside looking in, because if you lose
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: thirty one twenty eight and you just come up short,
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: that's fine. But to see the offense, which we thought
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: was the strong suit look pretty anemic out there, that's
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: just frustrating.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the one of the three phases that you're
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: at least coming into the season we're like, oh, these
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: guys are going to score points this year, but it's
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: defense and special teams again stood up big, sick kind
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: of tackle and then of course them fumble return are
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: recovered by the Jags, and so they've had another couple
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of big changing plays, at least in the first two
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: weeks of the season. O line talk dominating again on Monday,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: and Chris Jones came in and looks like he'd been
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: there for a while.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it wasn't there was no hold.
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: I'm glad Doug's not worried about it, which is what
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: he said, because I have some concern about it. It's
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: just you didn't there was There was no push in
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: the middle of the line for the second straight week.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: And if they couldn't get the running game going, well,
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: then they were really in trouble yesterday because Chris Jones
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: was already teeing off. They had nothing to slow him down.
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: The rookie couldn't do it. They put Breton Strange, the
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: rookie tight end over there, he couldn't help out. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: a running game, I believe would have been the one
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: thing that would have kept him honest, and they didn't
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: have it for the second straight week. That's I'm concerned
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: about it. I'm glad he's not.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It seems like it's been early and what Doug said
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: is something that always rings true.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: Most teams early in.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: The season do not have that continuity going with the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: offensive line. My theory is because there's not that much
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: hitting and training camp, they don't play preseason games, so
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: this really is sort of a build up time and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: that's the cohesion unit, right, But it does seem so
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: far in two games the running game has not been
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: just a mnemic in both games, but it feels like
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: it's been productive from cracks rather than push. I do
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: believe based on last year that unit got progressively better.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Many NFL units to do.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: I think this is one that can, but it has
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: to kai.
• 4:43
  Speaker 6: We talked a little bit in training camp as well
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: about how deep that offensive line was. We said, we
• 4:47
  Speaker 6: didn't know if Cam Robinson's gonna have a spot necessarily
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: when he comes back from suspension. And now we're already
• 4:51
  Speaker 6: looking ahead, like when's he coming back, because we've got
• 4:54
  Speaker 6: to move some things around to get to get it
• 4:56
  Speaker 6: to where we want it to be, because I mean,
• 4:59
  Speaker 6: protecting Trevor Lawrence has to be priority number one and
• 5:01
  Speaker 6: giving him enough time to throw and actually utilize this offense,
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: and also a little bit of the confidence he has
• 5:06
  Speaker 6: in the line as well, because there's certain points where
• 5:08
  Speaker 6: you're like, maybe he doesn't feel like he's being protected,
• 5:11
  Speaker 6: and then he gets that worry where you're like you
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: see a shadow and you think someone's behind you, because
• 5:15
  Speaker 6: if you don't have the confidence in the line around you,
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: that affects the plays that he's going to make or
• 5:19
  Speaker 6: be able to make.
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't want to say it's been awful, because
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: there has been moments where they've given him time and
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: they hit plays downfield.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: But it would be fair if you're Trevor.
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: To not be completely certain when you're dropping back, meaning okay,
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: now it's here, right, And there's been a few too
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: many quick crashes, if you will.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: It's been inconsistent, and I think the word that we
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: all thought described this offense was consistent. We would see
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: a consistent effort, a consistent level of production, and the
• 5:52
  Speaker 5: offensive line has been inconsistent. Again, Doug seems to think
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: that they can solve that with time when Cam Robinson
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: comes back and give him some flexibility. That's a good news,
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: you know. The consistency is the word with this football team,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: and they're not getting it on that side of the ball.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: One thing, Jpitch, I'm sorry we all kind of got
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: lost in a little bit. I think we expected consistency
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: starting off this season. I don't know that that was
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: a fair expectation considering the last three games. The last season.
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: You know, I was as excited as everybody. They put
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: up thirteen against the Titans late last season. They there
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: were some sporadic moments, and this was a team that
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: was built on struggle and then push a court phoush
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: big sounds, uh, you know, a quarter and a half
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: of excellence. But then they were coming a lot, so
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: they weren't really that consistent last year. They had these sparks,
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: these comebacks. I think overall is a unit they would
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: tell you they're still waiting for consistency.
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: We assumed it would be there. It hasn't been yet.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: I feel like I just turned on Police Academy or
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: something with all the sound effects.
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: I mean against the Chargers last year. These games season,
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: they weren't consistent. I mean, they have five turnovers in.
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: The first of saying that they were consistent at the
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: end of last year, so we should expect it. I thought,
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: based on what I saw through training camp. Yeah, the
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: relationships that the quarterback had built with Calvin Ridley already
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: that he had with Zay Jones and Christian Kirk, the
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: addition up front of Anton Harrison, who had played well
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: in training game, I just thought we'd see a more
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: consistent offense, not at thirty one points, but maybe twenty
• 7:30
  Speaker 5: five or twenty six.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: Well, if they can't block them up front and they're
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: double covered on the back end, it's hard for any
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: of that to find consistence.
• 7:38
  Speaker 5: There's some way to if they're double covering on the
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: back end, someone's got to be.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: Open, right, theory theory if you have time to find them.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it goes both ways. Okay, it's true.
• 7:49
  Speaker 6: And I think we did see some missed opportunity with
• 7:52
  Speaker 6: Ay Jones and Calvin those tiptoe catches that didn't quite
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: come to pass and four of them, yeah, four of them,
• 7:59
  Speaker 6: and then that one that Trevor just kind of airmailed
• 8:02
  Speaker 6: over a as well, So it would have been his
• 8:05
  Speaker 6: opportunity to kind of take advantage of that, because I
• 8:07
  Speaker 6: think Christian Kirk got doubled a lot as well as Calvin.
• 8:10
  Speaker 6: So I guess it's just like execution. I sound like
• 8:13
  Speaker 6: them execution.
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: Right, Well, that's the old game of inches thing. If
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: Christian is a foot away on the long pass and
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: steps away from the guy he's walking to the end zone.
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: If Trevor hands the ball to Etn rather than taking
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: around the side, all of a sudden, that's eleven points.
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: If Andre Cisco is closer to the ball on his
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: first reception, he probably changed the dyama.
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: And there are four.
• 8:40
  Speaker 3: Plays in the back of the end zone that were
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: bang bang out an inch over here he's in all
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: of a sudden. We're talking about a scrappy team that
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: won the game. So it's Tuesday, So after a loss,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: you don't talk about the scrappy team that could have
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: won the game.
• 8:53
  Speaker 4: You talk about the one the.
• 8:54
  Speaker 5: Loss, and then it bears mentioning. Talking to the people
• 8:56
  Speaker 5: in Km'pa city of the Campa City media last night there
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: talking about it once. The matter with Kansas City's offense.
• 9:01
  Speaker 5: They only scored seventeen points, and you know they couldn't
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: keep the pressure off all game long. So you know,
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: they scored seventeen. They're trying to figure it out. This
• 9:09
  Speaker 5: team scored nine. They're trying to figure it out. Welcome
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: to Week two.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, week two.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Doug Peterson also said that hey, we're one one, it's
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: two games and.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of football left for this team.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: One note, by the way, Cam Robinson back in the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: building today can start working with the team building back
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: up to be ready to be available. I guess starting
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: week five is what.
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: That would And that's a new rule, and a good rule,
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: by the way, is that more and more suspended players
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: can get back in the gun. They're not away from
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: the team the entire time.
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: A lot of.
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: Coaches and personnel people really pushed for that because it
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: almost double and triple penalizes the player, sort of sending
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: him away from the teammates to get him back in
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the environment. You can't play, but you're at least around
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: your sports system.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Back in a moment.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Well, preview Week three, the Houston Texans come to town.
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: That's next, Don Jaguars Reporter, Welcome back to the Jaguars
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: Reporters podcast. The Texans and the Jaguars coming up in
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: week three. Tickets available six three, three, two thousand or
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: visit Jaguars dot com slash tickets. Well, it's a series
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: that the Texans have dominated as of late. They had
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: won nine consecutive meetings until the one late last season.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: The Jaguars finally clipped them. But the Texans have won
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: the last five trips they've come to Jacksonville. At some point,
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: that's got to come to an end. If you want
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: to take over the AFC South. You gotta win games
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: like these. We talked about that every time, but hey,
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: this is one rookie quarterback, rookie head coach, rookie defensive end,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: a young, rebuilding team. The Jaguars feel like they need
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: to bounce back from last.
• 10:47
  Speaker 6: Week Kai and you have to avoid a trap game
• 10:48
  Speaker 6: because you look at this in recent history, the Jags
• 10:51
  Speaker 6: get up for what is a big game and then
• 10:53
  Speaker 6: maybe don't focus as much on the games after that,
• 10:55
  Speaker 6: and that's exactly what could happen, but I don't think
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: will happen. I think Doug Peter is very good at
• 11:01
  Speaker 6: turning the attention, turning the page, if you will, going
• 11:04
  Speaker 6: over the tape obviously what happened with the Chiefs, but
• 11:06
  Speaker 6: then getting right back on track because this is a
• 11:08
  Speaker 6: big game, it's a divisional game. It's going to probably
• 11:10
  Speaker 6: come down to the last couple of weeks with the
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: AFC South, and every win counts, especially now, and you
• 11:15
  Speaker 6: just want to see that consistency on offense. You can't
• 11:18
  Speaker 6: go two weeks without seeing the offense come together, and
• 11:22
  Speaker 6: this will be an opportunity hopefully get a little swagger
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: back before we go to London for two games.
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: CJ.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Stroud through the ball forty seven times against the Colts
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: for eighty four yards. By the way, he didn't have
• 11:33
  Speaker 5: either of his starting tackles in the lineup. Neither Titus
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: Howard nor Lana mctunsel were out there.
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I don't know whether they'll be there this week or not.
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: This is a game that the Jaguars should be able
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: to take advantage of a rookie quarterback who's slinging it
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: all over the place. You would think, you know, they
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: got three takeaways against Patrick Mahomes. They ought to be
• 11:51
  Speaker 5: able to create field position and make it easier on
• 11:54
  Speaker 5: the offense to kind of find the rhythm.
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: If you're going to be the power of the division,
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: you go win this game at home.
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: You've lost last week.
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: It ought to be one of those when you're watching
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the highlights that they spend about a minute and a
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: half on yeh because the Texans play him tough for
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: a little while and then the Jaguars proved they're the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: better team and make it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: Convincing in the end. So this is sort of a
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: show me, Hey, show me you're the favorite.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Show me you deserve that status they are, but show
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: me that you're deserving of that execute.
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: Well, EXE, do you remember the great line from Oh
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: the Rookie Year, the first season of why can't I
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: think of his name? The coach, the original coach of
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: the Tampa Bay Bucketers, John McKay. John McKay's great lines,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: What do you think about your team's execution?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Do you know the answer to this? He said, I'm
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: all in favor of it?
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: All right?
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: He was so glibed, so great about the Buccaneers that
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: first season.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: Someone said, what do you think your your team's ability
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: to stop the running as well?
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: You know, you know we couldn't get off blocks, but
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: then we made up for it by not blocking the
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: other team, right, I mean, I'm all for it.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Well, all that said, we just executed this podcast to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: the best of our ability.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Today.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: You go, Well done, Sky Stevens, Brian Sexton, John O's Revenue.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: B Shadwick, thank you for listening to Jaguars Reporter,
