Tough AFC Showdown Before the Bye vs. Steelers | Week in Review: October 27 · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:05
  Speaker 1: This is the Broadcast Week Interview podcast presented by ever Bank.
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: I'm JP Shadwick with the best of the week from
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Jaguars Radio, Jaguars dot Com, and Jags YouTube. The Jaguars
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week eight, But first, a
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: look back to the performance of Trevor Lawrence last week
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: on Thursday Night Football with Pete Prisco and Tony Vasselli
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Monday. Well, I think it.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Says a lot about him as a player.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: We knew that.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: We said that last week before the show, before the game,
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: we said, we think he played because he's a competitor,
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: and that's what he is. I mean, he's a tough guy.
• 0:37
  Speaker 4: But not only that.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: To be able to run the way he did, I mean,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: you could see these plays here as we watch them
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: on YouTube or this is incredible to me that he
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: was able to do that. It wasn't a great offensive
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: performance by any stretch of the imagination, but to go
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: there against that defense in that environment and play period
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: and then play the way he did is testament to
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: hint him.
• 1:00
  Speaker 5: Tony, you've been in many a locker room.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I guarantee you the players looked around that locker room
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and his respect level went up even higher.
• 1:09
  Speaker 6: Yeah, my guess is, Pete, nobody was surprised he played
• 1:12
  Speaker 6: in the locker room because they know what type of
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: guy he is. I mean, I think he has shown
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: that he is. You know, he's the leader of the
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: franchise from a player perspective, and to me, for what
• 1:26
  Speaker 6: he did, is just going to entrench out even more
• 1:28
  Speaker 6: in the locker room because to your point, I'll just
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: speak from an offensive line perspective. When you know you
• 1:33
  Speaker 6: have a tough guy back there and the guy that's
• 1:36
  Speaker 6: going to go to battle when he's not one hundred
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: percent because none of us are up front one hundred percent. Ever,
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: he just says something. And you know, when I played,
• 1:46
  Speaker 6: I mean there was no secret that Mark was one
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: of the tougher guys and played through stuff and rarely
• 1:52
  Speaker 6: complained or anything else about getting hit. And that means
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: something to the guys up front. And I thought Trever
• 1:58
  Speaker 6: played great. It was it was interesting to me pregame
• 2:01
  Speaker 6: talking to some of the coaches. They you know, they
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: didn't know, they did not know whether he was gonna
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: play or not. When he came out and warmed up
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: it was up to him, which was crystal clear. The
• 2:11
  Speaker 6: other thing is they figured if he would play that
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: he would be pretty immobile. And they thought that was
• 2:17
  Speaker 6: a disadvantage because the Saints give up a lot of
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: quarterback rushing yards because they play so much man coverage,
• 2:24
  Speaker 6: and so back to the quarterback, and if you have
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: an athletic quarterback, you know they can take advantage of it.
• 2:29
  Speaker 6: And they said, we probably won't be able to take
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: advantage of today. And then there goes Trevor Lawrence doing
• 2:35
  Speaker 6: what Trevor Lawrence does, and so I thought it was
• 2:38
  Speaker 6: a great performance. I give a lot of credit to
• 2:40
  Speaker 6: that offensive line. You play a football game against the Saints.
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: Now they're not great pass rushers, but it's one of
• 2:45
  Speaker 6: the best defenses in the NFL overall defenses. And you
• 2:49
  Speaker 6: give up one pressure, zero hits, zero sacks in a
• 2:54
  Speaker 6: football game in the NFL. Pretty dang good.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: Pete jag Wars Happy Out Radio Monday, airs four to
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: six pm on ten ten x l A, M, Jaguars
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence on
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: x this Week, posting quote, you all keep your opinions
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and we'll keep finding ways to win hashtag analysts end quote.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: He was asked about it and much more Wednesday.
• 3:18
  Speaker 7: After coming hot.
• 3:24
  Speaker 5: No, yeah, I'm joking around. Yeah, I mean, uh, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: don't think I need to kind of speaks for itself.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: It's just it's like one of those things you find
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: ways to win, you get you get criticism, and you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: don't win games, you get criticism. So it's a nature
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: of the business. Obviously we're used to that here, so
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: it doesn't it doesn't bug us. But I think it's just,
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: you know, it's a good reminder just to everyone that
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: you know, we use all this it's a chip on
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: our shoulder.
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: We use it as fuel.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: That's really all. It was, nothing, nothing more to it.
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: I've obviously those people are doing their jobs too at
• 3:53
  Speaker 5: the same time, so you understand it. But I think
• 3:56
  Speaker 5: it's good to have a little emotion and remember remember
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: kind of things that people say, and we don't forget
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: it when when people are backtracking in a few weeks
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: or into the season whatever it is. So that's all
• 4:06
  Speaker 5: it was.
• 4:07
  Speaker 7: So you are keeping your seats, Yeah.
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: Everybody does a little bit, maybe some more than others,
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: you know, others more than me probably, but definitely, I
• 4:16
  Speaker 5: think you use all that and that's part of getting
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: our edge back as a team. That's what we've done
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: the last few weeks and we're gonna keep doing it.
• 4:22
  Speaker 9: After three straight games where it was like short weeks
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: and kind of a hectic schedule, now things slow down
• 4:27
  Speaker 9: a little bit. Do you kind of almost have to
• 4:28
  Speaker 9: mentally remind yourself to keep the foot on the gas
• 4:31
  Speaker 9: pedal for sure.
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: You know, I think this is a very uh in
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: my opinion, a very mature team that we have, and
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: I think we understand what's at stake, you know, this
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: week and every week moving forward. I mean, every game
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: is critical, it's crucial, so especially playing a team like
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: Pittsburgh that's a good team AFC, all those things, so
• 4:50
  Speaker 5: you understand that it's a big game every week. But
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: you definitely have to get kind of back in the
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: groove this week after having a couple of days off,
• 4:56
  Speaker 5: which was great for us, you know, get a little healthier,
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: all those things. But you gotta today, you got to
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: have some sense urgency. You got to get back going,
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: make sure your mind's right and that you're you're ready
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: to go play a physical four quarter game on Sunday,
• 5:07
  Speaker 5: and that's that's all. That's everything we expect and we're
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: gonna get there by Sunday.
• 5:12
  Speaker 7: Maybe not having say in there sort of just kind
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: of disrupt a little bit, not only the options you have,
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: but just this kind of the rhythm of the passing game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: Yeah, it's definitely an impact. You know, anytime you're missing,
• 5:26
  Speaker 5: especially a starter that's out and that you're used to
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: playing with, and especially a player like Zay is a
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: really good player. We have great chemistry, you know, we
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: have a great rapport and I just think when you're
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: ever you're missing a guy like that, it's gonna impact
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: you to some extent. That's why you know, he's that's
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: why he's one of our best players. You know, there's
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: a reason for that and the impact that he makes
• 5:45
  Speaker 5: on the field. So of course we miss him and
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: want them back out there, and we know that will
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: happen eventually, But at the same time, guys have stepped up,
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: guys have done a great job. Obviously, it's been a
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: little different, and you have to kind of plan around that,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: and whenever you're missing any player, that's that's what you
• 6:01
  Speaker 5: have to do. So it's the nature of this game.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: It's hard to keep everyone healthy all season. It's impossible.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: So I think it's good for us to have to
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: adjust a little bit and figure out, you know, what
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: changes we need to make to have success. And I
• 6:14
  Speaker 5: think we've done that. You know, we've been winning games,
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: and of course we haven't been our best on offense,
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: and that's something that we want to get. We want
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: to get better and score more points and be more efficient.
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: But we're finding ways to win and we're just gonna
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: keep doing that. And obviously when Zay comes back, it'll
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: be huge. I mean, you saw his impact in the
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: Buffalo game immediately, so I think that kind of speaks
• 6:33
  Speaker 5: for itself.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: On Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks Wednesday, we discussed the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: hashtag analyst response and how teams use motivation from the outside.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: So the quarterback Trevor Lawrence asked about his hashtag analyst tweet.
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: I thought it was fun, and it's supposed to be fun, JP,
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: I mean, and Trevor in moments will have fun when
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: he pointed at the scoreboard last year at the end
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: of the Tennessee game. Yeah, you know, if you're not
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: having a little bit of fun out there, why you
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: do it. I mean, the money's good, but beyond that, fans,
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: you know, fans like that it's harmless. Uh, there's an
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: us against them too. And I thought it was pretty cool.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Bucky and Christian was laughing at it, saying he was
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: he was clapping and high five into himself when he
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: saw it. He loved it.
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: Yeah, No, this is the thing you remember. Everybody in
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: that locker room is a level competitor.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: They look for.
• 7:28
  Speaker 10: The slice, they're looking for a reason to make it personally,
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: and so when they're giving a little fuel, they feed
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: off of it. You heard Trevor talk about that and
• 7:39
  Speaker 10: kind of wanting people to walk it back and remembering
• 7:42
  Speaker 10: those things. And everybody in sports they always like to
• 7:46
  Speaker 10: feel like nobody believed in us.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: We're not on the dog.
• 7:49
  Speaker 10: It's just part of the athlete thing. And so if
• 7:52
  Speaker 10: that gets Trevor Lawrence going, it's great. But there's a
• 7:55
  Speaker 10: fine line between reading too much of that stuff. At
• 7:58
  Speaker 10: the end of the day, right in your performance and
• 8:01
  Speaker 10: all that other stuff has to be intrinsically motivated. You
• 8:04
  Speaker 10: don't need to really deal with the external factors. Just
• 8:06
  Speaker 10: make sure you bring it each and every day because
• 8:09
  Speaker 10: the pride is in make sure that you win games,
• 8:11
  Speaker 10: and you stuck up a lot of them so you
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: can do the stuff that you want to do as
• 8:14
  Speaker 10: a team.
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, JP. When I was covered high school sports with
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: my good friend Matt Hayes, who's now on ten ten
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: and you know, one of the better college football guys
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: in the country. We covered high school football together for
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: a couple of years and we had a rule with
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: each other that we couldn't use that. Nobody thought we
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: could do it. We knew we could do it because
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: it was after every high school game and if I
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: started realizing, nobody really was thinking whether you could do
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: it or not.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: So do you use that now you're high school?
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: Do you use that now? Bucking to your team?
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: I mean I look for different things. If there's a
• 8:48
  Speaker 10: reason where I can poke the bear a little bit, yeah,
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: I'll poke the bear. I mean, look, the emotional charge
• 8:54
  Speaker 10: goes away after the first two minutes of the game,
• 8:56
  Speaker 10: but you're always looking for something to kind of, you know,
• 9:00
  Speaker 10: kind of perk them up a little bit. I mean,
• 9:02
  Speaker 10: that's that's what you naturally do as a competitor, Like
• 9:05
  Speaker 10: we're always looking for their reap.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: Huddle up with Bucky Brooks airs Wednesdays at four o'clock
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com and Jags YouTube. Now time to
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: hear from the defense. The Jaguars are fourth in the
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: league against the run and number one in takeaways. Linebacker
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: Foyer Luikin discussing why the run game has been so
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: strong for the Jags d.
• 9:22
  Speaker 11: They control their gaps, staying their gaps, were able to
• 9:24
  Speaker 11: be confident and standing in our gaps. And then if
• 9:27
  Speaker 11: you build a wall there, you know they can't really
• 9:29
  Speaker 11: run the ball. Seeing polers and stuff is gonna be
• 9:31
  Speaker 11: easier with them pushing guys back in the backfield. It all,
• 9:35
  Speaker 11: you know, goes hand in hand. And then same thing
• 9:37
  Speaker 11: Carlton pressures, you want to get more sacks stavagely with
• 9:39
  Speaker 11: Cardon pressures. Getting the ball out the quarterback's hands gonna
• 9:41
  Speaker 11: be good for the dB.
• 9:42
  Speaker 12: So stop the run.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Push and outside linebacker Josh Allen reacting to an eighty
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: seven play performance for the defense last week in New
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Orleans and the attitude of that defense to never quit.
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: I mean that goes back to our identity on the play.
• 9:57
  Speaker 13: Talked about it a lot, We talked about it as
• 9:59
  Speaker 13: a lot of teams go down back to the grit,
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: you know, not expecting a win, to go back to
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: our preparation in the one two you know we finished
• 10:06
  Speaker 13: at to the game gets zero zero zero zero. That's
• 10:09
  Speaker 13: high identity. That's a model, and that's what we're gonna
• 10:10
  Speaker 13: play by.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: And finally, Ray Shawn Jenkins on what a win to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: move to six and two would do for this Jags
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: team headed into the buy and beyond.
• 10:18
  Speaker 12: I mean, it'd definitely be nice. But at the end
• 10:20
  Speaker 12: of the day, six and two, we get to six
• 10:22
  Speaker 12: and two. Now we gotta get to seven two. We
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: got to eighty two. So it's always going to be
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: a game to game bases with us, a week to
• 10:27
  Speaker 12: week bases with us, and all were trying to do
• 10:28
  Speaker 12: right now is prepare it and come out to be
• 10:31
  Speaker 12: six and two right now.

  Speaker 1: Jaguars are headed to Pittsburgh this week for the first
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: time since the AFC Divisional playoff game after the twenty
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: seventeen season. Only a few players from that team remain,
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: including Cam Robinson, the Jaguars left tackle, who shared his
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: memories of the two wins in Pittsburgh that season.
• 11:58
  Speaker 15: I just remember fun like. I think that was legit
• 12:02
  Speaker 15: legitimately two of the most fun games I've played that
• 12:05
  Speaker 15: I've been in the NFL, and I think a lot
• 12:07
  Speaker 15: of it has to do with just the atmosphere up there.
• 12:10
  Speaker 15: Those guys got a great fan base. Anytime you can
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: go to Hinspiel is.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Still Feld, it's act for sure, stadium.
• 12:16
  Speaker 15: I'm getting old. Anytime you can go to Pittsburgh and
• 12:20
  Speaker 15: get a win just because of the environment, it's just
• 12:23
  Speaker 15: because of the the way that a fan base is
• 12:25
  Speaker 15: is so much fun.
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Bro.
• 12:27
  Speaker 15: All right, this.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Offense moving ahead, has it hit its stride? And how
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: far away is it from hitting it stride? Offensively? For
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the Jaguars issue.
• 12:34
  Speaker 15: I don't think. I don't think we've hit our stride.
• 12:36
  Speaker 15: I think we're I think the past two or three
• 12:39
  Speaker 15: weeks we started to take steps in the right duration,
• 12:42
  Speaker 15: but in no ways, shape or form, think we've hit
• 12:46
  Speaker 15: our stride or we were peeking, or we're just taking
• 12:49
  Speaker 15: steps in the right direction. I think it's just important
• 12:51
  Speaker 15: to be, like I always mentioned, just be peaking at
• 12:53
  Speaker 15: the right time.
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: All right, final thought about this Steelers defense, You know
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: what kind of mentality you have? The physicality they always
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: play with, But what do they have to offer this year,
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: especially on the edges. If we're really good, really good.
• 13:04
  Speaker 15: Really good group of guys, their identity doesn't change. I
• 13:07
  Speaker 15: think the way the Steelers play is just the way
• 13:10
  Speaker 15: they always have played and the way they always will play.
• 13:13
  Speaker 15: Just a fast and physical group. We got our work
• 13:15
  Speaker 15: cutout for us. But I know the guys in this building,
• 13:19
  Speaker 15: I know the guys in our room. I know we're
• 13:20
  Speaker 15: up for the challenge.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: The full conversation with Cam Robinson on the Crown Royal
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: water Break available on Jaguars Social Media. On the call
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: of the Jaguars Steelers game this week for CBS Sports,
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: it's analyst Charles Davis, who had plenty to discuss about
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: the Trevor Lawrence performance last week.
• 13:35
  Speaker 16: Trevor Lawrence looks like an old school quarterback in dimensions.
• 13:39
  Speaker 16: He looks like a new school quarterback when the hair
• 13:41
  Speaker 16: flows out of the helmet and he takes his helmet
• 13:43
  Speaker 16: off and everybody goes, my god, look at him. You know,
• 13:46
  Speaker 16: he looks he looks like your next door pretty guy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 16: But his ability to play through things and toughness what
• 13:52
  Speaker 16: he did Thursday night in New Orleans, that's where all
• 13:55
  Speaker 16: the memes of that's my quarterback actually applying a pot
• 14:00
  Speaker 16: it manner because now you can rally around that quarterback,
• 14:03
  Speaker 16: your team will rally around you. Your defense will go,
• 14:06
  Speaker 16: look at our quarterback. We can play for him, not
• 14:09
  Speaker 16: just your offense. The rest of the team just goes,
• 14:10
  Speaker 16: my goodness, we got a tough guy quarterback. And JP,
• 14:13
  Speaker 16: you know you've been around this league. Any team that
• 14:15
  Speaker 16: has a tough guy quarterback is well ahead of the
• 14:18
  Speaker 16: game because the rest of the team will buy in
• 14:20
  Speaker 16: on you.
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Now, Charles Davis with the CBS Sports, you know, this
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: offense really hasn't had its full arsenal a lot this season.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Zay Jones has missed four games and he's had to
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: come out of two others with his knee issues, so
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: he's really only finished one game this year. When he's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: out there, that kind of changes the whole coverage idea
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: for defenses, and then the running game can get involved.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Travis Etn stepped in and scored two touchdowns and now
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: three straight games, the first Jaguar to ever do that.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: But when they're at full strength and you've seen them
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: this year, what can they be? And they I don't
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: think they've touched that ultimate Jaguar offense production that they're
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: hoping for this year.
• 14:57
  Speaker 16: No, I think that they can be the type of
• 14:58
  Speaker 16: team that has has answers for whatever you throw at them. Okay,
• 15:02
  Speaker 16: you want a pressure Trevor Lawrence, I think he handles
• 15:05
  Speaker 16: blitz as well and will step up in the pressure
• 15:08
  Speaker 16: and can get rid of it quickly to people. Right,
• 15:10
  Speaker 16: he has people to do that. You want to give
• 15:12
  Speaker 16: him time and drop back. He'll survey the field and
• 15:14
  Speaker 16: have the patience and take the checkdowns when necessary to
• 15:17
  Speaker 16: keep it going. What's the expression all the quarterbacks do use?
• 15:20
  Speaker 16: You never go broke taking a profit?
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: Okay, so I can speak a little quarterback myself, all right?
• 15:26
  Speaker 16: The running game with ETN. I think the offensive line
• 15:29
  Speaker 16: is starting to really develop their own identity. Because last
• 15:32
  Speaker 16: time we saw you, JP, you're getting ready for a
• 15:35
  Speaker 16: game with Kansas City and you had offensive linemen who
• 15:38
  Speaker 16: were really dinged up and we weren't sure they could go.
• 15:41
  Speaker 16: Every one of them went in that game. So that
• 15:43
  Speaker 16: tells me something about that offensive line. Now you got
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: Cam Robinson back, didn't have him last time we saw you.
• 15:49
  Speaker 16: I'm not sure about Walker Little and his ability to
• 15:51
  Speaker 16: play left guard yet, we shall see. But Tyler Shatley,
• 15:55
  Speaker 16: He's like, Hey, anytime you want me to play, I'm
• 15:57
  Speaker 16: here for it. Fortner share and I really think Antwine
• 16:01
  Speaker 16: Harrison's coming along nicely as a rookie at right tackle.
• 16:04
  Speaker 16: I think they're starting to take on some tough guy
• 16:07
  Speaker 16: vibes of their own. But I do think that they
• 16:09
  Speaker 16: have the mobility to move in the run game when
• 16:12
  Speaker 16: you want them to. They will take care of their quarterback.
• 16:15
  Speaker 16: As I said before, whatever you want to throw out them.
• 16:17
  Speaker 16: I feel like this offense is starting to develop the
• 16:19
  Speaker 16: idea that we've got answers for it. You want to
• 16:22
  Speaker 16: let us run it, We'll run it. You want to
• 16:23
  Speaker 16: let us throw it, We'll throw it whatever fashion that
• 16:26
  Speaker 16: may be.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: The full conversation with Charles Davis available Saturday on the
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: Official Jaguars Podcast Network and Jaguars dot Com. Now Closer
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: look at the Steelers on Jags Am Wednesday with Kay Stevens,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: John Oser and Brian Sexton.
• 16:40
  Speaker 17: Do you want to talk about our final big thing,
• 16:41
  Speaker 17: which is who are you? You talked a ton about
• 16:44
  Speaker 17: identity when it comes to the Jaguars, about what kind
• 16:46
  Speaker 17: of team they're supposed to be and we don't quite
• 16:49
  Speaker 17: know yet. Steelers, you could probably say the same for them.
• 16:51
  Speaker 17: Coach Mike Tomlin was asked about that yesterday and he
• 16:54
  Speaker 17: had a pretty interesting answer.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: I think in twenty twenty three, when you're talking about
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: team identity, you are talking more intangible quality things, a grit,
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: a mindset, the approach in which you take the circumstances.
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: Are you a calculated risk taking group. Are you a
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: fundamentalist group? Are you a small menu group? Those are
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: the things that really kind of comprise identity today. If
• 17:21
  Speaker 8: you start talking about we're a running group, then people
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: are gonna show up in goal line defense and open
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: field on you. And so it doesn't behoove you to
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: marry yourself to an identity. All it does is make
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: this sledding more difficult. In twenty twenty three, there's so
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: much specialization in today's game. It just is the utilization
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: of people in very specific places on offense and defense.
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: It makes it a matchup game, It makes it a
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: situational game. You can have an agenda in which you desire,
• 17:54
  Speaker 8: but there're things that people can do to push you
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: off that agenda, regardless of what your intentions are In
• 17:59
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty three. If people play open grass, open grass
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: goal line, then chances are you're gonna have a difficult
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: time running the football, for example, And that's what uh
• 18:09
  Speaker 8: the Rams were willing to do, for example, when they
• 18:12
  Speaker 8: went Nickel five to one versus three wide receiver sets.
• 18:15
  Speaker 8: They were saying, by virtue of the people that we
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: have on the field, your run game is gonna be
• 18:19
  Speaker 8: difficult today if you choose to do so. And so
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: from time to time you're gonna choose to fight that fight.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: Sometimes you're not. Those are just strategic components of today's game,
• 18:31
  Speaker 8: and that's why it makes declaration of identity a stupid
• 18:35
  Speaker 8: endeavor at this juncture.
• 18:37
  Speaker 17: So, needless to say, Mike Tomlin not a huge fan
• 18:39
  Speaker 17: of declaring what kind of team you are, and he
• 18:42
  Speaker 17: has a point in the sense that nowadays you have
• 18:44
  Speaker 17: to be so versatile, right, so declaring yourself a running
• 18:47
  Speaker 17: team doesn't really serve you if the defense is gonna
• 18:49
  Speaker 17: come out and completely shut you down on the run. So,
• 18:52
  Speaker 17: John is just the nature of the twenty twenty three
• 18:55
  Speaker 17: game that everybody kind of has to have that little
• 18:57
  Speaker 17: hand in everything and really be specialized.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: It is but a thing I think Tomlin does. First off,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: I wish somebody had asked, but I didn't get that.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Could you repeat that? But I think what Tomlin does
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: really well is, even if he doesn't necessarily have a
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: running based, dominant defensive team, which he really doesn't this year,
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: he makes those guys believe that they're good at those things,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: and he makes them believe that that's their identity. They're
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: a three four defense that runs a lot of two
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: to five. They're not a great run defense, but I
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: guarantee you when it's third and two, those guys believe
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: they are, and they probably play well in those situations.
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: In moments like that. Same with running the ball. Pittsburgh
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: fans are going to believe they're a running team no
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: matter what style they have. So I think he has
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: that as an identity. But a very good coach, which
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: he is, knows you have.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: To be versatile. It's remarkable, you know, for fifty four years.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: He is the third head coach since nineteen sixty nine,
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: and the Steelers have always been a dominant front right
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: both sides of the ball, run the ball, stop the run,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: and they're not. I mean when you look at them,
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: you know their bottom five in run defense bottom five
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: and run offense. So you say, what is this. I
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: tell you what they do do, which is what they've
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: always done, is man, they beat you on defense with
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: their skill position players, with TJ. Watt, with Mika Fitzpatrick.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: They are first in the league with fifteen forced fumbles.
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: They are in the top five with sacks with twenty nine,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: and they are top five interceptions with ten. So they're
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: four and two. Not because they're that typical run the ball,
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: stop the run Pittsburgh team, but because on defense they
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: make plays when they have to. And I think Mike
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: Thomas just a remarkable story. He's been a terrific coach.
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: He was young, he was slightly unknown when they hired him,
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: and yet he has continued through tradition. And it's remarkable
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: also because you know, it's twenty twenty three and it's
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: the first time we're like, who are these guys? Because
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: the Steelers always had that identity.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Jack zam Heirs Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: dot Com and Jaguars YouTube. And we close this week
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: with head coach Doug Peterson Friday meeting with the media
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: to wrap up the week.
• 21:15
  Speaker 9: You have an update on Zay Walker, d Ham Cisco
• 21:18
  Speaker 9: and Tyson of.
• 21:18
  Speaker 18: Course, yeah they Uh is still working through you know,

• 21:33
  Speaker 18: and we'll see where he's.
• 21:34
  Speaker 6: At after that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 18: Devon, Devon's trending well, and you know, he's practiced full
• 21:41
  Speaker 18: this week, and we get another good day today and
• 21:44
  Speaker 18: then we'll see, you know, we'll see how he feels
• 21:47
  Speaker 18: and where he's at, and there's a you know, there's
• 21:50
  Speaker 18: a good chance, you know that he could be active
• 21:54
  Speaker 18: for this game. So we'll just see how he does
• 21:55
  Speaker 18: through through today. Walker, same thing, you know, we'll get
• 21:59
  Speaker 18: through today. He's had a good week, no setback, so
• 22:01
  Speaker 18: we'll see see where he's at and make a decision there.
• 22:07
  Speaker 18: Trevor's been good, obviously, got a good work in yesterday
• 22:10
  Speaker 18: and it feels it feels good. Tyson and and Andre Cisco,
• 22:16
  Speaker 18: we're both practice today. We'll see where they're at at
• 22:18
  Speaker 18: the end of the day, make a decision on both
• 22:21
  Speaker 18: of those guys. But trending in the right direction, happened.
• 22:23
  Speaker 9: By week next week play into the decision on if
• 22:26
  Speaker 9: you would play guys this week at all.
• 22:29
  Speaker 18: A little bit, you know, Listen, I don't want to.
• 22:31
  Speaker 18: I don't want to risk a setback, you know, with anybody.
• 22:35
  Speaker 18: But having having time next week to to fully rest
• 22:39
  Speaker 18: some of these guys too next week can play into
• 22:42
  Speaker 18: that and really giving them If they don't play this week,
• 22:46
  Speaker 18: then obviously that's two more weeks, right, and really three
• 22:51
  Speaker 18: I think about the week of San Francisco before you
• 22:53
  Speaker 18: play a play a game again. But the other one
• 22:56
  Speaker 18: is Greg Junior, you know, because we activated his window,
• 23:00
  Speaker 18: he's practice full this week. He's getting close as well.
• 23:04
  Speaker 7: How hard is it to get Devine physically ready?
• 23:08
  Speaker 9: Since I would assume the nature of the practices this
• 23:10
  Speaker 9: time of year is much different than when you're in
• 23:12
  Speaker 9: training them.
• 23:13
  Speaker 16: What sort of the challenge for.
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: You guys as a stuff?
• 23:16
  Speaker 18: Yeah, just really the physicality of practice. You know, you're
• 23:20
  Speaker 18: not in pads like you would be in training camp
• 23:22
  Speaker 18: or early part of the season as much, and you know,
• 23:25
  Speaker 18: just that physicality part and just getting his legs really
• 23:28
  Speaker 18: and it's conditioning to game speed back, you know. So again,
• 23:33
  Speaker 18: if he's if he's up for this week, then you know,
• 23:36
  Speaker 18: I'm sure we'll keep an eye on him, you know,
• 23:39
  Speaker 18: and don't want to. Don't want to much like smoot right,
• 23:41
  Speaker 18: you know, in the same type of thing, so you know,
• 23:45
  Speaker 18: we'll keep an eye on that.
