0:02
Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn selliseller John O'shans
0:08
Speaker 1: Bryan Sect Jags right starts right now. To be honest,
0:15
Speaker 1: obviously a tough loss. Um, I thought we did a
0:18
Speaker 1: great job battling back. I think we just made too
0:21
Speaker 1: many mistakes and shot ourselves in the foot too many times. Um,
0:24
Speaker 1: you know, speaking specifically offensively for US penalties and getting
0:28
Speaker 1: behind the chains and you know it's hard to win
0:29
Speaker 1: football games and you do that. But UM, I am
0:32
Speaker 1: really encouraged with you know where we're at and just
0:34
Speaker 1: how we how we fall back, came into the locker room,
0:37
Speaker 1: made some adjustments. Um, you didn't see anybody blinking, and uh,
0:40
Speaker 1: you know, everybody knew we were on a mission to
0:41
Speaker 1: come back and believe that we're going to come back
0:43
Speaker 1: and have a chance to win this game. So good
0:45
Speaker 1: teams finished games, and uh, you know, we have some
0:48
Speaker 1: work to do to you know, become a good team
0:51
Speaker 1: in finish. But I think we're close. Jaguars wide receiver
0:55
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk having the same messages basically everyone in the
0:58
Speaker 1: locker room, posting that this team was close. It was
1:00
Speaker 1: great they fought back, but they shot themselves and the
1:03
Speaker 1: foot too many times to beat the Washington Commanders and
1:05
Speaker 1: now the Jaguars fall oh and went on the season
1:08
Speaker 1: after losing in Week one. Welcome to Jaguars Drive Time
1:11
Speaker 1: on Monday, Ashland, Brian and John here with you to
1:13
Speaker 1: break down this game. That definitely felt like a roller
1:16
Speaker 1: coaster at times. That second half, we're running everywhere, We're
1:19
Speaker 1: not knowing you sense that the Jaguars might win and
1:22
Speaker 1: pull this out. Then the last drive happens and by
1:25
Speaker 1: the end of the game, Brian, we're just trying to
1:27
Speaker 1: catch our breath, truthfully. Yeah, And it felt different than
1:29
Speaker 1: a lot of the losses we've seen from this time
1:31
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Um and I. I don't want
1:34
Speaker 1: to say it's in a good way, but that there was.
1:36
Speaker 1: You know, they were able to overcome a disastrous first
1:40
Speaker 1: half of self inflicted wounds and put themselves in a
1:43
Speaker 1: position to win. But as it turns out, they dug
1:45
Speaker 1: themselves such a big hole they couldn't hold off, you know,
1:48
Speaker 1: and you had silly mistakes shot Griffin, you know, losing
1:51
Speaker 1: outside leverage on Terry mclaurin's long touchdown, and Tyson Campbell
1:55
Speaker 1: being in poor position to be able to even make
1:57
Speaker 1: a play on the ball on our Dotson's um game
2:02
Speaker 1: winning touchdown. So little mistakes correctable. Disappointing, but you can
2:08
Speaker 1: get there. Yeah, it's uh. I get accused sometimes of
2:12
Speaker 1: grading the Jaguars on a curve um, you know, because
2:15
Speaker 1: we talked so much about it. But I, uh, I
2:19
Speaker 1: thought there were a lot more positives than were negatives.
2:22
Speaker 1: But that's because I'm looking at the long term, and
2:24
Speaker 1: it's maybe because of what I expected this team to be. Um.
2:27
Speaker 1: I think if you're a Jaguars fan and you're wondering
2:30
Speaker 1: where they are, you can take solace in this. I
2:32
Speaker 1: didn't think they played very well at all, except for
2:35
Speaker 1: maybe a quarter in a series, and yet they're up
2:39
Speaker 1: eight with a chance to win on the road. This
2:41
Speaker 1: is a team that hadn't won in like since what
2:43
Speaker 1: two thousand three on the road, I mean December and
2:50
Speaker 1: many You know, if they had played that poorly in
2:53
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, in the first half, it
2:56
Speaker 1: would have been Hey, there are things that I think.
2:58
Speaker 1: That's what you take solace. And if you're a Jaguars fan,
3:01
Speaker 1: this to me felt like a normal NFL loss where
3:06
Speaker 1: you gave a little bit away, you're coming together the
3:07
Speaker 1: beginning of the season. You know, again, I think it's
3:11
Speaker 1: six seven one team. But I saw things yesterday that
3:15
Speaker 1: made me think these guys know what they're doing. If
3:17
Speaker 1: they fixed mistakes, they can go win. I don't know
3:18
Speaker 1: if he felt like, Okay, they've gotta fix a couple
3:20
Speaker 1: of things this time last year, then they gonna start
3:22
Speaker 1: winning games. Yeah, there was not a lot that I
3:24
Speaker 1: was I mean, the mistakes were so stupid. I mean,
3:26
Speaker 1: do want smooth and we talked about to get into
3:28
Speaker 1: big things. I mean, that was just such a a
3:31
Speaker 1: for a veteran player who knows better and who's who's
3:34
Speaker 1: a much better player than that. Um. I'm worried about
3:36
Speaker 1: the left tackle. He did not play well, especially at
3:39
Speaker 1: a moment in the game where they really needed him
3:42
Speaker 1: the most. He was on his back. That concerns me. Um.
3:45
Speaker 1: But the rest of it I think are fixable things.
3:47
Speaker 1: And they're a team that has to learn how to win.
3:49
Speaker 1: They've lost eighteen in a row away from home. Now
3:52
Speaker 1: that it's it's gonna weigh on him because the next
3:54
Speaker 1: road trip is Los Angeles and the Chargers. And if
3:56
Speaker 1: you saw them yesterday, buckle up right, and you mentioned
4:00
Speaker 1: stupid mistakes. There were countless of them, which leads to
4:02
Speaker 1: big thing one, which is out the Jaguars have ninety
4:05
Speaker 1: yards of penalties esday against the Commanders, and every time
4:08
Speaker 1: it felt like they were getting momentum or something was
4:10
Speaker 1: going right, someone had a dumb mistake to push them back.
4:14
Speaker 1: Coach Peterson saying, we can't win if we are our
4:17
Speaker 1: worst enemy. We just don't beat ourselves, you know. Um,
4:23
Speaker 1: but we gives ourselves a chance. And you look at
4:25
Speaker 1: this game today and we beat ourselves, you know, just
4:29
Speaker 1: you know, some costly mistakes at the wrong time, and
4:31
Speaker 1: and you know games come down to three to five
4:34
Speaker 1: plays um every week. And uh, you know, we've got
4:38
Speaker 1: to finish better, and we just gotta take care of
4:40
Speaker 1: those little things. You heard Coach Peterson just say that
4:44
Speaker 1: we have to finish better. That is big thing to
4:46
Speaker 1: the start of the game and dragged on and almost
4:48
Speaker 1: felt out of reach at halftime. Three points in the
4:51
Speaker 1: first three drives on offense, very slow start. The quarterback
4:55
Speaker 1: looking to be more effective earlier one from eleven points
5:01
Speaker 1: by missing the first drive, missing the throw of Travis
5:04
Speaker 1: how to get the Kield goal, and then missed that
5:06
Speaker 1: one to day and then forthdown dropped the slip you know,
5:10
Speaker 1: out of the backfield, like just stuff like that. We
5:11
Speaker 1: spotted them eleven points in the first half and still
5:14
Speaker 1: I found a way to fight back and have a
5:16
Speaker 1: chance to win. So, um, you know where we can
5:18
Speaker 1: clean up all that, where we're gonna be fine. I'm
5:20
Speaker 1: not worried. I'm I'm frustrated obviously, because I know we're
5:23
Speaker 1: good enough to win that game, and we should win
5:25
Speaker 1: that game. And it's frustrating, but we're gonna better. And
5:29
Speaker 1: if you're gonna look at a positive big thing three
5:32
Speaker 1: is number one tray Von Walker having a heck of
5:34
Speaker 1: a game and already making an immediate impact in week one.
5:37
Speaker 1: Make the argument this is the biggest plus we saw yesterday.
5:40
Speaker 1: Walker sing, there is more than what we saw just yesterday.
5:45
Speaker 1: I had to say that in the session because uh,
5:47
Speaker 1: I caught my dad told him that I had a
5:50
Speaker 1: decent we could practice called a pick and practice uh
5:53
Speaker 1: in school, and so I told him I was going
5:54
Speaker 1: to get one in the game. So it was just
5:56
Speaker 1: best for me to actually get a kick in the
5:57
Speaker 1: game because I gotta tell my dad I was gonna do.
6:00
Speaker 1: Pretty cool story from Trey von Walker getting asked if
6:03
Speaker 1: the sack or the interception was more special phone conversation
6:06
Speaker 1: with his dad that came through. If you're going to
6:09
Speaker 1: look at the positive, he's the positive, no doubt. I
6:12
Speaker 1: thought his best comment in the post game, though, was
6:14
Speaker 1: not that. His best comment the post game was Yeah,
6:16
Speaker 1: it's great, but I didn't do enough because we didn't win.
6:19
Speaker 1: We're gonna run that sound later. That's a guy who
6:22
Speaker 1: understands it and he just he told us in one
6:27
Speaker 1: of the preseason production meetings that his length, it is
6:31
Speaker 1: his greatest strength. And what he did on that Um interception, yeah,
6:37
Speaker 1: I mean his length is appealing to guys like tread
6:40
Speaker 1: Bulky because it's rare you have guys that can make
6:43
Speaker 1: plays like that. Well, it was length and it was awareness.
6:46
Speaker 1: It was Um making the play when it was there.
6:52
Speaker 1: It had a nice rush early in the third quarter.
6:55
Speaker 1: Didn't miss the sack, got it. U saw the play
6:59
Speaker 1: with Carson Wentz. Didn't miss the interception, got it. He's
7:02
Speaker 1: a playmaker. He takes advantage at the moment. There's more
7:05
Speaker 1: thing talking about big thing was was it two or?
7:08
Speaker 1: Trevor was talking about the points left on the field
7:10
Speaker 1: and Doug when he talked about it at the top,
7:13
Speaker 1: he knows this is a team that is able to
7:16
Speaker 1: compete in the NFL, and but if it makes mistakes,
7:20
Speaker 1: it's gonna lose. So he said, they're gonna shoot themselves
7:22
Speaker 1: in foot and that's why they're gonna lose games. Smooth
7:25
Speaker 1: gave away four points. Trevor added eleven of missed red
7:29
Speaker 1: zone opportunities. Uh, those are fifteen points that are right there,
7:34
Speaker 1: So I think again talking to Jaguars Vans, I got
7:37
Speaker 1: emails saying this is the same story, different year, though
7:41
Speaker 1: well it's not even close the same story different year.
7:43
Speaker 1: It's equally frustrating. But in the NFL, as Doug said,
7:48
Speaker 1: three to five plays a game, those points on three
7:52
Speaker 1: or four plays, that's fifteen point differentially, you win the
7:54
Speaker 1: game if you do that. But in the NFL, if
7:56
Speaker 1: you don't do that, you always You put a thought
7:58
Speaker 1: in my head kind of like a bad slow um
8:00
Speaker 1: in in training camp when we're talking about where the
8:03
Speaker 1: point is going to come from. So I've I've kind
8:05
Speaker 1: of looked at this team through that conversation that we
8:07
Speaker 1: had about where are the points going to come from?
8:09
Speaker 1: And when they settled for a field goal on the
8:11
Speaker 1: opening drive, and when uh Trevor and Travis didn't connect him.
8:16
Speaker 1: When Riley Patterson hit the upright, all I could think
8:18
Speaker 1: of was what you said, is where the point's going
8:20
Speaker 1: to come. You have to learn how to convert those
8:22
Speaker 1: things and score. At one point, they had three points
8:25
Speaker 1: in four red zone possessions. I mean, you just it
8:27
Speaker 1: boggles the mind. You can't win in this game if
8:30
Speaker 1: you don't convert those opportunities, Doug said on Friday afternoon.
8:33
Speaker 1: Friday morning, he said, you only get twelve possessions. You've
8:36
Speaker 1: got to take advantage of as many of them as
8:39
Speaker 1: you can, and you're just crossing them off with red
8:42
Speaker 1: ink there in the first half. So the Jaguars didn't
8:44
Speaker 1: give themselves a chance to play with the lead. I
8:46
Speaker 1: mean that it was narrow so and to get back
8:49
Speaker 1: in it and lead by eight s giving aways that much, Um,
8:55
Speaker 1: I do believe that show something about these guys. And
8:57
Speaker 1: I've got to go prove that and back it up
8:59
Speaker 1: because if you lose too in a row, then all
9:00
Speaker 1: of a sudden, it's well, it's bad. So you've got
9:04
Speaker 1: to go prove that you're as close as you look.
9:06
Speaker 1: The other day, absolutely and it felt I hesitated at halftime.
9:09
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about this a little bit later
9:11
Speaker 1: on in hot takes, but at halftime when the team
9:13
Speaker 1: was going, and I thought, this is where we find out, right,
9:15
Speaker 1: because this team last year would have just completely kept
9:18
Speaker 1: the downward try and going and we just knew it.
9:20
Speaker 1: You just could feel it. And that was what I
9:22
Speaker 1: was curious about, was how they were going to come
9:24
Speaker 1: out and respond, and it was totally different. I got
9:26
Speaker 1: a question. I got a question from someone last night.
9:29
Speaker 1: How did Doug respond in the locker room at halftime?
9:31
Speaker 1: Did you just let him have it? Well? I wasn't there,
9:34
Speaker 1: so I don't know, but my guess is no, he
9:36
Speaker 1: didn't because he's been there before. He understands this team
9:40
Speaker 1: based on all the conversations about healing that we talked
9:43
Speaker 1: about and what good would it have done. He knows
9:45
Speaker 1: this is a young team that's going to make mistakes.
9:47
Speaker 1: He turned them around in the second half. It wasn't
9:50
Speaker 1: quite enough. There were more mistakes late in the ball game,
9:53
Speaker 1: but he did enough to get them back into it. Okay,
9:56
Speaker 1: you build on that, and he said, just keep doing
9:58
Speaker 1: what you're doing exactly and stopped killing ourselves again. The
10:01
Speaker 1: striking thing to me down fourteen to three. I didn't
10:05
Speaker 1: feel like they came out guns blazing in the third quarter.
10:07
Speaker 1: I didn't feel like they played great in the third quarters,
10:10
Speaker 1: but they were good enough to get back in. And
10:13
Speaker 1: the key thing about that game they forced four turn Yeah,
10:17
Speaker 1: they forced three turnouts. If they're a team that does
10:20
Speaker 1: that and and are a little better on that front,
10:23
Speaker 1: the Brakes will go their way to win some of
10:25
Speaker 1: those where they're up three one in that ratio, which
10:27
Speaker 1: you should have won. That they look when when you're
10:29
Speaker 1: plus three, which they were until you know the final
10:31
Speaker 1: minute of the game when Trevor through the long ball
10:33
Speaker 1: that was intercepted, you win nine eight percent of the time.
10:38
Speaker 1: That's what the numbers tell you. It's hard to lose
10:40
Speaker 1: when you're plus three, hard, very very difficult. So it
10:43
Speaker 1: was that's what the mistakes did, was they created a
10:46
Speaker 1: huge hole that they couldn't make. It so frustrating for
10:49
Speaker 1: all and that is big things. When we come back
10:50
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive Time, some highlights from yesterday's game against
10:53
Speaker 1: the Commanders. Move the Freight Magellan Transport voted coolest office
11:08
Speaker 1: space in Jacksonville. Apply Online at www dot Magellan Logistics
11:13
Speaker 1: dot com. We're back Jaguars Drive time on a Monday morning,
11:20
Speaker 1: recapping a loss the Commanders. That was a roller coaster
11:23
Speaker 1: of a game, fighting back, a lot of highlights to
11:25
Speaker 1: go through. Good and bab. We're gonna start here for
11:27
Speaker 1: the Jaguars first offensive drive, and we talked about that
11:30
Speaker 1: slow start. Here's a great example of that. All suson
11:34
Speaker 1: long a two tight ends usually in a Doug Peterson
11:37
Speaker 1: run offfenss rocks and cops to watchings and defense Jackson
11:41
Speaker 1: trying to chase him down. It does around me eleven
11:43
Speaker 1: yard line. It's another jackson Ville first down rebel arch
11:49
Speaker 1: caring it out completely, trying to get it to j
11:53
Speaker 1: jos more vertical and got that ball in behind him
11:56
Speaker 1: thirty three yard bilgull drive Riley Patterson did. And true
12:03
Speaker 1: the Jaguars have to settle for a field goal after
12:05
Speaker 1: having a great offensive drive to start with, starting off
12:08
Speaker 1: with that James Robinson run. And that's the last points
12:11
Speaker 1: we'll see for a very long time for this Jaguars offense.
12:14
Speaker 1: And we see the example convert on that Z Jones throw,
12:17
Speaker 1: Make it happen, touchdown. The difference right um, classic James
12:21
Speaker 1: Robinson run. Uh, you're not going to run away from anybody.
12:25
Speaker 1: He found a hole. So both of those guys made
12:28
Speaker 1: plays in the running game yesterday. That's a huge positive
12:31
Speaker 1: for this team. Uh, that you can expect to see him.
12:34
Speaker 1: He didn't look like he was dragging it at all.
12:37
Speaker 1: And they've got to be able to run like they
12:38
Speaker 1: did yesterday. Run for first downs and run for explosive plays.
12:44
Speaker 1: You don't have to run for hundred sixty five yards
12:45
Speaker 1: age know to be Cleveland. Um, but you have to
12:48
Speaker 1: be able to run when you need to when they did. Yeah.
12:49
Speaker 1: I think one thing Doug sort of handed at in
12:51
Speaker 1: the post game he was asked why he didn't run more. Uh,
12:55
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily think he's gonna run a lot more
12:57
Speaker 1: than he did yesterday. He seemed at the end the
13:00
Speaker 1: press conference to like their balance. I think his point
13:03
Speaker 1: was if you start running more, your yards per carry
13:06
Speaker 1: come down. They were very effective when they did run,
13:09
Speaker 1: so I think Jaguards fans me if you get used.
13:12
Speaker 1: I don't think Doug Peterson is going to be the
13:13
Speaker 1: guy to turn around and give it to James Robinson
13:15
Speaker 1: seven straight runs. I think he wants effectiveness when they
13:19
Speaker 1: do run. It's not gonna be Fred Taylor and more.
13:21
Speaker 1: He's Drew you know circus two thousand seven when they
13:23
Speaker 1: ran for hundred fifty five yards a game. But these
13:26
Speaker 1: two guys, because their styles are completely different, Um, there'll
13:29
Speaker 1: be a fun group to watch. He wants to be
13:31
Speaker 1: effective when they do when they choose, So I think
13:35
Speaker 1: that's what it's going to be. And it was what
13:36
Speaker 1: he asked him postgame. It was seven yards per carry
13:39
Speaker 1: or something around there. Yeah, it was nine in the
13:41
Speaker 1: first half. And but Doug was aware of that stat.
13:44
Speaker 1: He was very aware of how they were running. He
13:47
Speaker 1: didn't seem well, I mean, he was the play caller,
13:50
Speaker 1: so he didn't criticize himself after the game, but he
13:52
Speaker 1: seemed very fine with how they had called it. To
13:55
Speaker 1: make the point, Trevor Lawrence last week in his press
13:57
Speaker 1: conference said they were gonna be hard nosed up front
13:59
Speaker 1: of the offensive. Little surprised by that, and Doug was
14:01
Speaker 1: asked about it on Fridays like, yeah, you know, maybe
14:04
Speaker 1: that's what they think. Yeah, all right, let's go now
14:07
Speaker 1: to Trayvon Walker's basically highlight reel of this game. In
14:10
Speaker 1: the third quarter in the fourth quarter. Some highlights from
14:12
Speaker 1: him after the two yards of loss which he Desiready
14:17
Speaker 1: shot at the twenty six by the number one overall
14:21
Speaker 1: pick rave on Walker on the twenty five yard line
14:27
Speaker 1: and Wrench goes back at it. That's gotta crowd Walkers
14:33
Speaker 1: first Hull game, he went down on the ball. Let's
14:38
Speaker 1: see if the officials ruling down. He's got the ten
14:40
Speaker 1: yard line, which through a crowd and Walker was there
14:46
Speaker 1: to pick it. That's the first time I've seen this
14:50
Speaker 1: highlight from game footage. That is crazy. How long his
14:54
Speaker 1: arms are to make that catch. That's rare. I mean,
14:56
Speaker 1: you just again, that's why a guy like that, who
14:58
Speaker 1: only has one six and a half acts at Georgia.
15:01
Speaker 1: That's why you don't worry about that production because the
15:03
Speaker 1: rare qualities that he brings will turn into plays. And
15:07
Speaker 1: I just didn't know it's gonna be that fast. Well,
15:09
Speaker 1: he's a man child, I mean it's and a lot
15:13
Speaker 1: of guys can't just dominate physically in this league or
15:16
Speaker 1: just make plays based on physical ability. You feel like
15:20
Speaker 1: he's doing that. You feel like he's the He's this
15:22
Speaker 1: kid is just so talented that when he's playing, he
15:26
Speaker 1: you know, he's having fun because he can do things
15:29
Speaker 1: and he doesn't know why it's so hard for everybody else, right,
15:32
Speaker 1: you know so, But the point being on his sack,
15:38
Speaker 1: it really wasn't a great move necessarily. I'm not sure
15:41
Speaker 1: that he has moves yet, like he will in a
15:43
Speaker 1: couple of years. But he was on him so fast.
15:46
Speaker 1: A lesser athlete that quarterback steps up in that situation
15:51
Speaker 1: gets away from it. Trayvon was on it so fast
15:53
Speaker 1: he couldn't do it. He's special. If people have heard
15:56
Speaker 1: the term bend from Jeff Logoman or Tony Boselli talking
15:59
Speaker 1: about how a player can get low to the ground
16:01
Speaker 1: and get around the tackle, that's rare bend. I mean
16:04
Speaker 1: he was for someone as big as he is to
16:06
Speaker 1: tuck his shoulder and get around him and then stay
16:08
Speaker 1: balanced and get to the quarterback. I mean, those are
16:11
Speaker 1: the qualities that you look for in the top pass rusher.
16:13
Speaker 1: He has them all. And the pig is that was
16:17
Speaker 1: the kind of play that of the guys in the
16:21
Speaker 1: NFL are sitting in the locker room after We're going Yeah,
16:23
Speaker 1: I saw him going there, but I couldn't quite get there.
16:27
Speaker 1: Trayvon sees him going there and he gets there. He's
16:29
Speaker 1: just more athletic, he's better. He's a better athlete than
16:33
Speaker 1: most guys on the field. He did that, by the
16:35
Speaker 1: way in Atlanta. I don't know whether you saw it
16:37
Speaker 1: because it was so much to see that day, but
16:38
Speaker 1: he bent back to the outside and grab the ball,
16:42
Speaker 1: and it's like wow, with all his weight going the
16:44
Speaker 1: other day, and and for him to be able to
16:46
Speaker 1: do that now in a game situation, it was special. Yes, crazy,
16:50
Speaker 1: and now the offense needed to respond when given the
16:52
Speaker 1: trance by Trayvon Walker, and they're doing just that getting
16:55
Speaker 1: themselves back in the game. Start take away, James jos
17:01
Speaker 1: Ship what certain touched but a lot of hard road
17:10
Speaker 1: after the interception. Very cool to see from James Robinson.
17:17
Speaker 1: It was the moment we all wanted, the proven comeback
17:20
Speaker 1: moment which we all knew who was back. We all
17:22
Speaker 1: knew he was smart, we all knew he was ready,
17:24
Speaker 1: but to prove to to basically everyone else, Okay, he's back,
17:27
Speaker 1: don't worry about him. I love the fact that he's
17:29
Speaker 1: out there following Jawan Taylor. Give Jawan credit. He was
17:31
Speaker 1: way out there leading the way and then he just
17:34
Speaker 1: found the cutback lane. Planted the foot and exploded right,
17:39
Speaker 1: which you don't say all the time about James Robinson,
17:42
Speaker 1: but he ran through four defenders to the end zone.
17:46
Speaker 1: That takes some explosion. Well, we'll see if they have more.
17:49
Speaker 1: But this, that last little highlight package show well showed you. Um,
17:56
Speaker 1: you've got seven points from two maybe your three or
17:59
Speaker 1: four best player. Yeah. I don't know that they have
18:03
Speaker 1: as many great players yet, as I think they will
18:06
Speaker 1: moving forward. Those were two of their best and they
18:10
Speaker 1: both made really great plays to get points. That's what
18:12
Speaker 1: the league's about. We'll find out if they have more
18:15
Speaker 1: than those two or three guys right now. I think
18:18
Speaker 1: it's a big storyline going forward. Him and something pretty
18:21
Speaker 1: cool on that play, we were all filming coach Peterson
18:23
Speaker 1: waiting for his reaction. It was myself and Turn our videographer,
18:25
Speaker 1: and we were we were had a shot on Coach Peterson, hoping,
18:29
Speaker 1: you know, we get a fist bump or a clap
18:30
Speaker 1: or some reaction because they needed a touchdown so bad
18:33
Speaker 1: right there. And immediately when James Robinson scores, he turns
18:36
Speaker 1: around and pushes the entire team back so they don't
18:39
Speaker 1: get a penalty. Doesn't even care doesn't celebrate at all.
18:42
Speaker 1: And we all knew coach Peterson was calm, but I
18:45
Speaker 1: truly saw in that moment he's always thinking a play
18:48
Speaker 1: ahead and no reaction, no celebration, not needed. Well he's
18:51
Speaker 1: a pro, yeah it wor Still, it was pretty cool
18:54
Speaker 1: to see then stand the whole game of his knees. Alright, now,
19:00
Speaker 1: this is where the game takes a turn. In the
19:02
Speaker 1: fourth quarter. We go to a commander's offensive drive where
19:04
Speaker 1: at this point the game started to feel a little
19:06
Speaker 1: out of reach. The only thing got into six games
19:09
Speaker 1: when steep drop pressure on gets rid of it. Sideline roll. Yeah,
19:21
Speaker 1: I mean, just got beat. There's no other way to
19:23
Speaker 1: put it. And you can't let him back in that fast.
19:26
Speaker 1: You've got all the momentum. You fought back and then
19:28
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, it was a two point game
19:30
Speaker 1: at that point. But Briant, it felt like a tie
19:32
Speaker 1: game all of us. I mean, it felt like the
19:34
Speaker 1: momentum was back in their favor because it was um. Yeah,
19:38
Speaker 1: he lost leverage and he let him in and and
19:41
Speaker 1: Cisco could not make up that it was just too
19:44
Speaker 1: far for him to go. But if you keep inside leverage,
19:47
Speaker 1: then Cisco is involved and it was just it was
19:50
Speaker 1: a Selly mistake. It was there were two of them
19:52
Speaker 1: by the corners. I mean, you got to give Tyson
19:55
Speaker 1: Campbell great credit for the jump on the ball to
19:56
Speaker 1: get the interception that that was fantastic, But then late
19:59
Speaker 1: in the ball game, the game on the line, he's
20:02
Speaker 1: not in position to be able to make a play
20:04
Speaker 1: on the ball at all. You know, for a guy
20:06
Speaker 1: that we were touting, he's being a difference maker who
20:09
Speaker 1: had such a tremendous camp You expect more with Griffin.
20:12
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'd be first to tell you that's their
20:15
Speaker 1: best player. And you got in a big situation. Ah,
20:20
Speaker 1: you lose them like that. That can't happen. And now
20:22
Speaker 1: we finally go to the Jaguars last offensive drive. Here's
20:25
Speaker 1: a chance and that's all we want. And really, when
20:26
Speaker 1: we talked about all off season is give Trevor the
20:29
Speaker 1: quarterback a chance to win the game. He has that
20:32
Speaker 1: and it just didn't go their way. Or he was like, yeah,
20:35
Speaker 1: the first NFL game after missing all of last year,
20:39
Speaker 1: an arch on the run throwing it deep check a word,
20:55
Speaker 1: and that is where Coach Peterson at the end of
20:57
Speaker 1: the game, when he talks about its team that needs
20:59
Speaker 1: to learn how to finished. He brought up this example, saying, Trevor, hey,
21:03
Speaker 1: I credit him. He's trying to be aggressive. He's trying
21:05
Speaker 1: to make a play, but at this point you have
21:07
Speaker 1: to know, take the sack, throw it away. You can't
21:10
Speaker 1: turn the ball over here. Well, Trevor talked about it
21:12
Speaker 1: after the game, and it did shed some light. I
21:16
Speaker 1: don't think he was trying to throw that ball that way.
21:19
Speaker 1: He said. His arm guy crooked and Montest sweat hanging
21:22
Speaker 1: all over him. Yeah, and well, and that's a case
21:24
Speaker 1: where Cam has to protect better. There the the the
21:28
Speaker 1: pressure is there in a heartbeat on that play. Uh,
21:33
Speaker 1: that happened too often yesterday. Um, I would have liked
21:37
Speaker 1: to have seen that play without the pressure. One of
21:38
Speaker 1: the biggest wasn't you say that one of the biggest
21:40
Speaker 1: decisions this teammate in the offseason, if you go back,
21:43
Speaker 1: was to franchise or we're not to franchise, but to
21:46
Speaker 1: give Cam the big money deal, franchise left tackle money. Um, Okay,
21:51
Speaker 1: that's just one of seventeen. He's gotta be better because
21:53
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, that was the entire story. Montes. What
21:56
Speaker 1: was not lined up over Juwan Taylor, who was thought
21:59
Speaker 1: to be the slower of the two tackles. He was
22:01
Speaker 1: lined up on Cam Robinson and you have to look
22:04
Speaker 1: and see, well, what did Jack de Rio c that
22:05
Speaker 1: made him think he could beat Cam, who was so
22:07
Speaker 1: good in August. You gotta be better than that. And
22:11
Speaker 1: that's that when we hear the critique on Trevor, and yes,
22:14
Speaker 1: absolutely Trevor has to play better, But then you go
22:16
Speaker 1: back and watch the offensive line throughout the entire game,
22:19
Speaker 1: and yeah, the whole unit really needs to take a step.
22:22
Speaker 1: There was a throw to Christian Kirk in the fourth
22:24
Speaker 1: quarter and everyone saw that Doron Payne got up and
22:26
Speaker 1: knocked it down. Well, the reason and and I heard
22:29
Speaker 1: some criticism of Trevor sixix you should be able to
22:31
Speaker 1: throw over Well on that play he had Montes sweat
22:35
Speaker 1: throw Cam into his feet and he couldn't step into
22:38
Speaker 1: the throw. So I mean it's little things like that
22:41
Speaker 1: that you don't see until you go back and watch
22:43
Speaker 1: it again. So the left side of the offensive line
22:46
Speaker 1: has got to be better. The stats don't say at all.
22:48
Speaker 1: I ain't that the truth, all right? So that is
22:50
Speaker 1: highlights on Jaguar's drive time on a month. They when
22:52
Speaker 1: we come back. Some hot takes on the Jaguars didial
22:55
Speaker 1: network called Carci Up. Now, if your car's had a
23:01
Speaker 1: manufacturer's warrants, you don't get stuck with expensive mechanical and
23:04
Speaker 1: computer screen repairs called car shields. It's the little things,
23:11
Speaker 1: like like I know, everybody's are some of the little things.
23:14
Speaker 1: And the little things can be many different things. But
23:16
Speaker 1: in me and all little things and that it's it's
23:18
Speaker 1: things that we can correct, you know what I'm saying.
23:20
Speaker 1: And like you said, Tyson came up big. We made
23:24
Speaker 1: plays of practice. That's our tell trade, Mama. You practice
23:27
Speaker 1: the way you play. You know what I'm saying. The
23:28
Speaker 1: places that you make a practice is the place you're
23:30
Speaker 1: gonna make anymore. He was catching fixing in practice school
23:33
Speaker 1: carry over, you know what I'm saying. So, and even
23:36
Speaker 1: the bad things, you know what I'm saying. So, Uh,
23:39
Speaker 1: we just gotta keep punching, punching. We got a divisional
23:42
Speaker 1: game next week we're excited for and we're hungry. We're
23:45
Speaker 1: angry and we're gonna show it and we're excited to play.
23:48
Speaker 1: The Jaguar is looking forward to their home opener this Sunday,
23:52
Speaker 1: and against the Indianapolis Colts. Taking a step forward against
23:56
Speaker 1: the divisional opponent. We're back on Jaguars Drive time and
23:58
Speaker 1: it's time for some hot takes going into Week two,
24:01
Speaker 1: coming off a game where we finally have a hot
24:03
Speaker 1: take to talk about. Yeah, well, I'll start with Mike
24:06
Speaker 1: call Dwell, the Jags defensive coordinator. In his first game
24:09
Speaker 1: as a defensive coordinator. Uh, he stuck to his guns.
24:12
Speaker 1: And we talked a lot about getting to the quarterback
24:15
Speaker 1: with four in August, and especially on that last drive
24:18
Speaker 1: with the throw to dots In in in the end zone,
24:20
Speaker 1: he stuck with four. He was going to go down,
24:23
Speaker 1: you know, shooting the way he did, and the Jaguars
24:26
Speaker 1: didn't get there. I mean, I think they only had
24:28
Speaker 1: six hits on the quarterback. Um. I would have liked
24:32
Speaker 1: to have seen him mix it up a little bit
24:33
Speaker 1: more and do some crazy things, but he didn't do it.
24:37
Speaker 1: And I don't think he's gonna change his style. Maybe
24:39
Speaker 1: he will situationally here or there. But they've got big
24:42
Speaker 1: guys They've paid a lot of money to or spent
24:44
Speaker 1: a lot of high draft picks on, and you just
24:47
Speaker 1: get the sense in the fourth quarter with the game
24:48
Speaker 1: on the line where he doesn't change that. He's not
24:51
Speaker 1: going to because that's fundamental to who he is and
24:53
Speaker 1: his defense. He's gonna coaches guys to get there. Yeah,
24:56
Speaker 1: you just wonder on that if if if they thought
24:58
Speaker 1: that U doing that having seven back, Wentz would throw
25:05
Speaker 1: arrently and give him the ball at times, which he
25:07
Speaker 1: did situationally, so I think that probably played into that.
25:11
Speaker 1: I believe Caldwell's background with Todd Bowles would show you
25:15
Speaker 1: that he's going to be a little more creative than
25:17
Speaker 1: he was in the fourth quarter yesterday. But certainly it
25:21
Speaker 1: was a storyline. You know, it's always dangerous, you know,
25:23
Speaker 1: Brian to take one sad uh, but it's sir. It
25:28
Speaker 1: sure was yesterday, and all coordinators want to get there
25:30
Speaker 1: with four. It's just a matter of can you do it.
25:33
Speaker 1: There were some times where he mixed up formations. You know,
25:36
Speaker 1: there was one formation in the second half where they
25:38
Speaker 1: didn't have any down defensive linemen. They were all standing
25:41
Speaker 1: or moving around the ball um. But they still, for
25:43
Speaker 1: the most part, in most key situations, stayed with the
25:46
Speaker 1: four man rush. I do think that situationally they'll change that,
25:50
Speaker 1: you know, schematically based on opponent here and there. But
25:54
Speaker 1: I got the sense in Chey moment yesterday that he's
25:57
Speaker 1: gonna stick with who he is and he's gonna expect
25:59
Speaker 1: those guys to get home. And it was by far,
26:01
Speaker 1: at least in the two years being on the side,
26:03
Speaker 1: and that was by far the most movement I've seen
26:05
Speaker 1: on defense. Every single play, there's guys running off, there's
26:08
Speaker 1: guys running on Caleb on Chason's and Josh Allen's coming out.
26:11
Speaker 1: There was a ton of movement all game long. And
26:13
Speaker 1: I think that's going to stay the same as well.
26:15
Speaker 1: It never slowed down. It's nothing. He's not going to blitz,
26:17
Speaker 1: but that's not going to become every down. He's going
26:20
Speaker 1: to try to get there with four. John what you got, uh,
26:24
Speaker 1: Mine was positive because I'm I'm Johnny positive And it
26:27
Speaker 1: was basically the good outweigh the bad, even if the
26:31
Speaker 1: bad was really frustrating. And this is sort of a
26:33
Speaker 1: short term, long term kind of take. Um. I understand
26:36
Speaker 1: that fans are upset because they've seen the Jaguars lose
26:39
Speaker 1: so much for a decade, and when you lose, you
26:42
Speaker 1: feel like, oh, it's the same thing they're They're doing
26:44
Speaker 1: the same stuff. To me, watching that game, I did
26:48
Speaker 1: not feel like I was watching the same thing as
26:51
Speaker 1: we had watched in twenty and twenty one. I feel
26:54
Speaker 1: like it was a team I guess the think I
26:56
Speaker 1: keep going back to today is this. I didn't think
26:59
Speaker 1: they played over well for four quarters. I thought they
27:01
Speaker 1: played poorly for a stretch. Even without playing well in
27:05
Speaker 1: the third quarter, they found a way to get back
27:08
Speaker 1: in that game. I don't know that that would have
27:12
Speaker 1: happened in the last couple of years. I think if
27:14
Speaker 1: if they had played just okay in any stretch they're
27:17
Speaker 1: falling behind. I think there's a lot of potential there
27:19
Speaker 1: for this team. I still think by the end of
27:21
Speaker 1: this season you will see a team that you like
27:25
Speaker 1: better and is playing better. With the caveat of the
27:27
Speaker 1: offensive line has to protect Trevor better, otherwise you're going
27:31
Speaker 1: to he's going to be in consistent as these young quarterback.
27:35
Speaker 1: If the offensive line plays like it does yesterday they
27:38
Speaker 1: did yes day in key situations, those those inconsistencies will
27:41
Speaker 1: spike and it will look really bad at times. So
27:43
Speaker 1: I thought about it yesterday and I felt the same
27:46
Speaker 1: way you did, that this was not a typical Jaguars
27:48
Speaker 1: team that we've seen the last couple of years. Um,
27:51
Speaker 1: the reality of it is, you couldn't say about those teams,
27:54
Speaker 1: will they beat themselves? Because that didn't happen most of time.
27:57
Speaker 1: They got beat yesterday. Doug Peterson. One of the statements
28:00
Speaker 1: he made in his news conference, and he's a pro, right,
28:03
Speaker 1: we've established that was we beat ourselves. They did. I
28:07
Speaker 1: mean they beat themselves with stupid little mistakes like Dwan
28:11
Speaker 1: Smooth giving up four points there. Um, not just to
28:14
Speaker 1: pick on him, but there were lots of those those moments.
28:17
Speaker 1: They beat themselves yesterday. That's why three at half time. Yeah,
28:22
Speaker 1: and between Trevor's math which is the eleven points which
28:26
Speaker 1: he is right, and Smooth mistake, that's I mean, when
28:30
Speaker 1: you dominated the third quarter a game plays they're a
28:33
Speaker 1: much better team. You can see that. But they weren't
28:36
Speaker 1: good enough to win yet, which means they've got to
28:39
Speaker 1: get something done in the practice field this week. Yeah,
28:41
Speaker 1: it's learning how to finish. And I talked to Bucky
28:43
Speaker 1: Brooks after the game about that, and I said, okay,
28:45
Speaker 1: well fans want to know how quick it takes to
28:48
Speaker 1: to learn how to finish the game. He goes, if
28:49
Speaker 1: they get one one and have that taste, they'll know
28:51
Speaker 1: how to finish a game. And that leads to my
28:53
Speaker 1: hot take, which is similar to what we've talked about
28:55
Speaker 1: basically this entire show, is that the hot take is
28:57
Speaker 1: Sunday felt like a normal NFL loss, and for some
29:00
Speaker 1: reason the locker room yesterday it just felt different in
29:03
Speaker 1: the moment. I couldn't put my finger on why it
29:05
Speaker 1: felt different. It felt more defeated, it felt more sad,
29:08
Speaker 1: It felt more angry than a locker room that I've
29:10
Speaker 1: been a part of the past two years, and I
29:13
Speaker 1: think when you have that close of the game and
29:15
Speaker 1: you lose, it hurts more. But then we were talking
29:18
Speaker 1: to our head of production on the plane, Patrick and
29:20
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, you know, Sunday felt like a normal
29:21
Speaker 1: NFL loss, and I was like, oh, my gosh, it did.
29:25
Speaker 1: And I couldn't say that the past two years. If
29:27
Speaker 1: a couple bore plays, go the Jaguar's way, you win,
29:30
Speaker 1: and you're so right. They were nowhere near that last season.
29:34
Speaker 1: The hard part is it's tough to sell that idea
29:36
Speaker 1: to people who are not part of the NFL on
29:38
Speaker 1: a daily basis. Understand what that is. I mean my
29:41
Speaker 1: eighteen year old son. I'm trying to sell that to
29:43
Speaker 1: him last night, and and and and I couldn't get
29:48
Speaker 1: it through his head. So to try to sell it
29:50
Speaker 1: to the masses right now, it's tough because what is that.
29:53
Speaker 1: I mean they four and thirty four in their last
29:56
Speaker 1: thirty five games or something like that, you know, thirty
29:59
Speaker 1: eight games. Um, people they just see the same thing.
30:02
Speaker 1: Not everybody, but most people are just to have there's
30:05
Speaker 1: another Jaguars loss. Um, you said that it's going to
30:09
Speaker 1: take a win for the Jaguars to learn how to win.
30:12
Speaker 1: It's going to take a win for the fans to
30:13
Speaker 1: start believing that this is a different team. Yeah. I think,
30:17
Speaker 1: except for we're talking about the last couple of years,
30:19
Speaker 1: you probably a locker room of players that wanted to
30:21
Speaker 1: win and maybe deep down after a lot of games,
30:25
Speaker 1: didn't really think they quote should have won. I think
30:28
Speaker 1: yesterday you had a locker room full of guys I
30:29
Speaker 1: thought they should have won. And that brings way more
30:31
Speaker 1: frustration than I've seen really the past three years. Well,
30:34
Speaker 1: we'll find out how it translates next week. Absolutely, and
30:37
Speaker 1: that is Hot Takes. When we come back on Jaguars
30:39
Speaker 1: Drive Time, some closing thoughts on the Jaguars Digital Network.
30:47
Speaker 1: No fees, no problem. Let's say thing, when you purchase
30:50
Speaker 1: your tickets for our home opener against the Colts this
30:53
Speaker 1: Sunday on September eighth, the deal will not last long.
30:56
Speaker 1: So don't miss out that your fee free tickets today,
31:02
Speaker 1: because it has to be more than just one one
31:05
Speaker 1: one sat one kid, because obviously we didn't win a game.
31:08
Speaker 1: So therefore, because they're like me that they draft the
31:12
Speaker 1: number one, supposed to make plays like that, and so
31:14
Speaker 1: I need to keep continue to make a play by
31:16
Speaker 1: that a player like me is supposed to make plays
31:21
Speaker 1: like that. I thought that was absolutely what stood out
31:24
Speaker 1: the most out of Trayvon Walker's postgame press conference. What's
31:26
Speaker 1: not if you doubted the kid before? Um, when you
31:30
Speaker 1: see the way he played and you hear him say
31:33
Speaker 1: that after the game, you can just take a deep
31:36
Speaker 1: breath and go, Okay, yeah, they got it right. He's
31:38
Speaker 1: so self comp I mean, I don't know if the
31:40
Speaker 1: word I'm looking for is but when you got drafted
31:43
Speaker 1: number one, there's a lot of criticism. He you're not
31:47
Speaker 1: even sure he heard it, not even sure he cared.
31:50
Speaker 1: He's incredibly confident in his own ability without being cocky. Uh.
31:54
Speaker 1: He didn't act like that was a surprise yesterday. He
31:56
Speaker 1: knows he has to do more. Um, it's it's hard
32:01
Speaker 1: not to like this kid if you're around him, and
32:03
Speaker 1: it's hard not to think that he's going to be
32:06
Speaker 1: an absolute star. And it's like, you know, which is cool.
32:09
Speaker 1: The week of Atlanta, Um, we did a lot of talking,
32:12
Speaker 1: a lot of stories around his family. He doesn't care
32:15
Speaker 1: what what people he doesn't know. I think his family
32:18
Speaker 1: is so important to him. He's focused on them and
32:20
Speaker 1: what they tell him and representing them well. Um, He's
32:24
Speaker 1: kind of got the same thing with the Jaguars family, right.
32:26
Speaker 1: He wants to represent them well, which is why he
32:28
Speaker 1: could stand there and say that. And it's not an arrogance,
32:30
Speaker 1: that's he's a I hope fans get to get to
32:34
Speaker 1: know him a little more because he's impressive. He's impressive.
32:38
Speaker 1: He is because I saw that at first on Twitter
32:40
Speaker 1: the I'm supposed to make plays on that, and I thought,
32:42
Speaker 1: but then I went and listen to it and I
32:44
Speaker 1: was like, oh my gosh, that's the complete opposite of cocky.
32:47
Speaker 1: It's just a self awareness of Yeah. I was drafting
32:49
Speaker 1: for one to do this. Here's what's exciting to see
32:51
Speaker 1: how teams are gonna have to no, take him into
32:53
Speaker 1: account and defend against him, and to see how Josh
32:56
Speaker 1: Allen gets opportunities off of that. Yeah, and credited trade
32:59
Speaker 1: on on that. Because it's tough as a rookie to
33:02
Speaker 1: be a guy that teams have to account for. And
33:05
Speaker 1: very quickly he's shown. I guess it's only one game,
33:08
Speaker 1: but even in preseason practice, but he's gonna be a
33:10
Speaker 1: guy they have to account for. Which is gonna help
33:12
Speaker 1: everybody up front up or something? All Right, we get
33:14
