- 0:25Speaker 1: New Year. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on Monday. It's
- 0:29Speaker 1: after Week seventeen. We've got a busy two hours ahead.
- 0:33Speaker 1: Basselli and Prisco coming up. They've got plenty to say
- 0:36Speaker 1: about the game last week, but probably more about the
- 0:39Speaker 1: week ahead. Week eight teen, winner take All. After a
- 0:41Speaker 1: Jaguars win over the Texans, it's now on to the
- 0:45Speaker 1: a f C South Championship game. The winner heads on
- 0:49Speaker 1: to the postseason as the division champion. The Jaguars with
- 0:52Speaker 1: a tie would also go on. We've got plenty of fanatics,
- 0:55Speaker 1: fan questions, and a lot of head coming up. Let's
- 0:58Speaker 1: start post game in Houston and Doug Peterson proud of
- 1:01Speaker 1: the way the team handled the business at in urg Stadium. Yeah,
- 1:06Speaker 1: sure it may not meant a whole lot, but but
- 1:09Speaker 1: I don't know if I've been in a situation where
- 1:11Speaker 1: he had a game like this heading into a game
- 1:14Speaker 1: that for everything, you know, But I'll tell you. It's
- 1:18Speaker 1: it's UM, it's a credit to the guys in the
- 1:20Speaker 1: locker room, the coaches just to stay to stay stay focused,
- 1:24Speaker 1: you know, the guys. That's why I told him after
- 1:25Speaker 1: the locker room, the way they handled this week. UM,
- 1:28Speaker 1: very proud of them for that. And it's all part
- 1:30Speaker 1: of our winning, winning culture, you know. And and UM,
- 1:36Speaker 1: there's a time and a place obviously, UM to rest guys.
- 1:40Speaker 1: I just didn't think this was the time or the
- 1:42Speaker 1: place to do that. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence had modest numbers
- 1:45Speaker 1: in the game yesterday, but the performance overall as a
- 1:48Speaker 1: team was impressive. At this point in the year, it's
- 1:51Speaker 1: just about winning. And so I mean, obviously we're happy
- 1:53Speaker 1: with that, and to be able to win that way,
- 1:55Speaker 1: you know, it's it shows the growth of this team
- 1:58Speaker 1: when you don't necessary to play your best, especially offensively,
- 2:01Speaker 1: and still dominate a game like that. So it's it's
- 2:04Speaker 1: cool to see our team continue to come together. And UM,
- 2:07Speaker 1: we all know what what's kind of at hand this week,
- 2:10Speaker 1: So we're we're excited for the challenge and ready to
- 2:12Speaker 1: get back to work for that. Outside linebacker Josh Allen
- 2:15Speaker 1: over the four game winning streak, playing really good football statistically,
- 2:19Speaker 1: and the Tags did what they needed to do, certainly
- 2:21Speaker 1: on defense. I mean, I just think it was a
- 2:25Speaker 1: performance to to to to get ready for next week.
- 2:30Speaker 1: You know, we we were, we were locked in for
- 2:31Speaker 1: this game. We thought about this game. We all was
- 2:33Speaker 1: only ready for this game. And now you're ready to
- 2:36Speaker 1: go get another one? Hungry any ready to go? All
- 2:40Speaker 1: the press conference and the locker room availability available on
- 2:44Speaker 1: Jaguars dot com or Jaguars Social media. We'll hear more
- 2:47Speaker 1: from Doug Peterson today coming up a little bit later.
- 2:50Speaker 1: We're on tinto Next l a M Jaguars dot com,
- 2:53Speaker 1: Jack social Media, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. Tony Vaselli and
- 2:56Speaker 1: Pete Frisco joining us now after another Jaguars win back
- 3:00Speaker 1: to five, just like you knew all along? Well, I
- 3:05Speaker 1: know somebody on this show who knew it and it
- 3:08Speaker 1: wasn't me. I mean, I can admit it. I did.
- 3:11Speaker 1: I didn't see it coming, and the selling did. I
- 3:13Speaker 1: gotta give him credit for that. You weren't a believe
- 3:15Speaker 1: or Pete, you weren't a believer or No, I wasn't.
- 3:18Speaker 1: I don't think you're deep down you were either. You're
- 3:20Speaker 1: just trying to make content for the show. No, actually,
- 3:23Speaker 1: I just I saw I really. I was a believer
- 3:26Speaker 1: in more than anything. Was Trevor, Well, yeah I was too.
- 3:30Speaker 1: That's my point. He was playing at a level with
- 3:32Speaker 1: the record, with the schedule they had, especially after they
- 3:35Speaker 1: beat the Ravens. I thought that Cowboys game would be tough, um,
- 3:38Speaker 1: But when he came out the way he was playing,
- 3:41Speaker 1: you know, you had to win a shootout. You won
- 3:43Speaker 1: the football game. What I love about what they've done,
- 3:45Speaker 1: Pete is they've won games the way they needed to.
- 3:48Speaker 1: You know, you had a gritty, tough win against Baltimore,
- 3:51Speaker 1: laid an egg against Detroit, but then here comes Dallas
- 3:54Speaker 1: and you know you have to win to shootout. Were
- 3:55Speaker 1: they going to win a shootout? Then you go up
- 3:57Speaker 1: to New York and you know it's gonna be ugly,
- 3:59Speaker 1: and you just gotta place smart, don't turn it over,
- 4:01Speaker 1: be smart. You know you gotta struggling Jets offense, get
- 4:05Speaker 1: a lead and just hold on to it. And then
- 4:07Speaker 1: in the Texans they didn't play good. By the way,
- 4:12Speaker 1: if you look at the tape, I don't think they
- 4:13Speaker 1: played a great game, which I love because they played,
- 4:17Speaker 1: didn't you know when you don't, when you don't have
- 4:20Speaker 1: your best, and you can still win that right now.
- 4:22Speaker 1: It speaks to how bad the Texans are, no doubt
- 4:25Speaker 1: about it, but also speaks to the status of this
- 4:27Speaker 1: team and where they are kind of their growth in
- 4:30Speaker 1: the evolution of the of growth. And I think that's big.
- 4:34Speaker 1: And you know, I watching the tape, it wasn't great,
- 4:38Speaker 1: but they were smart, they did what they needed to do,
- 4:40Speaker 1: and they got to win against a bad team, setting
- 4:42Speaker 1: up this week where now you go play your best,
- 4:45Speaker 1: And I actually think if Jacksonville plays their best and
- 4:48Speaker 1: Tennessee plays their best, jackson wins by two touchdowns. I agree,
- 4:52Speaker 1: I agree, and their favorite by six and a half.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So if you go, if you says seven weeks ago
- 5:00Speaker 1: that they'd be favored in Week eight team playing in
- 5:02Speaker 1: prime time by seven points or a touchdown playing against
- 5:06Speaker 1: a third team quarterback has only been with the team
- 5:08Speaker 1: for two weeks, that you have your jazz is to
- 5:10Speaker 1: go to the playoffs. I would have told you you
- 5:11Speaker 1: were nuts and you didn't even believe that would be
- 5:15Speaker 1: the case. Don't say you did. You thought they'd make
- 5:17Speaker 1: a run, but you didn't think this would happen. This is,
- 5:20Speaker 1: you know, I didn't think Tennessee would fall apart like this. Yeah,
- 5:25Speaker 1: that's what made it all right, the sixth straight and
- 5:28Speaker 1: you know they're falling apart now. It doesn't it doesn't
- 5:33Speaker 1: matter if the Jags don't take care of their business though, too.
- 5:35Speaker 1: They had to go win and they have one, and
- 5:38Speaker 1: now they set themselves up in a great situation and
- 5:41Speaker 1: so it's perfect and it's gonna be a great atmosphere.
- 5:43Speaker 1: The one thing I'm disappointed, but I'm disappointed the league
- 5:45Speaker 1: a little bit, Pete, the fact that they put this
- 5:48Speaker 1: team on Saturday night instead of Sunday night to give
- 5:51Speaker 1: an advantage to the Texans, I mean, not said to
- 5:53Speaker 1: the Titans, because now we have five days arrest, they
- 5:56Speaker 1: have eight, you know, so we're a short week when
- 5:58Speaker 1: they have a long week already. I just thought that
- 6:00Speaker 1: they should should have put the Jaguars either at four
- 6:02Speaker 1: pm on Sunday or primetime Sunday. But Saturday night, I
- 6:06Speaker 1: just is a competitive advantage to the Titans. Big advantage.
- 6:10Speaker 1: It's a big advantage. I mean. And and again this is,
- 6:14Speaker 1: you know, the Jacksonville have to prove the people that
- 6:16Speaker 1: they're not the Jaguars anymore, right. I mean, that's exactly
- 6:19Speaker 1: what this is. They've been disrespected for since they came
- 6:23Speaker 1: in the league, and at some point you got to
- 6:25Speaker 1: prove to people that you don't deserve to have that
- 6:27Speaker 1: disrespect and and that's why I think they put him
- 6:30Speaker 1: in this spot. They should have been on primetime on
- 6:32Speaker 1: Sunday Night. But you know what they're gonna put there.
- 6:34Speaker 1: They're gonna put Aaron Rodgers in there, even though even
- 6:37Speaker 1: though at least that's that's what I think they'll do.
- 6:39Speaker 1: But you know, he's a marquee guy. Jacksonville doesn't have
- 6:42Speaker 1: the marquet players and Tennessee's falling apart starting a third
- 6:45Speaker 1: team quarterback. So there's no blitz and glamour to this game.
- 6:48Speaker 1: I get it from a network standpoint, but the NFL
- 6:50Speaker 1: could have stepped in here and said, hey, wait a second,
- 6:53Speaker 1: this isn't fair. But Tony, you can also spend it
- 6:55Speaker 1: forward this way. If they play on Saturday, then they
- 6:59Speaker 1: have the extra day for the playoff game where they
- 7:02Speaker 1: might not well, I gotta had that there after they
- 7:06Speaker 1: win Saturday Night, Pete, they're gonna play Saturday in the
- 7:09Speaker 1: first right, But if they had played on Sunday. Then
- 7:12Speaker 1: that's one less day. They would act, you get you
- 7:15Speaker 1: get an extra day that way. So would you rather
- 7:17Speaker 1: be have less this way it is now and not
- 7:20Speaker 1: have to I think you having an extra day for
- 7:22Speaker 1: the postseason is better than not having it, because I
- 7:25Speaker 1: think they went on Saturday. Anyway. I think they's a
- 7:27Speaker 1: much better team. I think that, you know, the only
- 7:29Speaker 1: thing that could derail them is history, the ghost of
- 7:33Speaker 1: Deemon's past show up. That's the only thing they could
- 7:36Speaker 1: derail them. Yeah. I don't believe in any of that,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I think because none of that matters. I mean, if
- 7:41Speaker 1: you're a player on this team, who cares would happen
- 7:42Speaker 1: the last twenty five years? Doesn't? But the history matters
- 7:45Speaker 1: in the series. I mean, they've dominated them in the series.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Well guess what. This team only knows one thing. They
- 7:50Speaker 1: beat the hell out of him up in Nashville, and
- 7:53Speaker 1: so that as a player, that's all you should be
- 7:54Speaker 1: thinking about. And here's the reality. The only chance that
- 7:57Speaker 1: the Titans have to win this game is if they
- 7:59Speaker 1: can keep it with one possession into the fourth quarter.
- 8:02Speaker 1: They have they have to keep it tight because they
- 8:05Speaker 1: have to run Derrick Henry forty times and get it done.
- 8:08Speaker 1: And here's the other thing about this Titans team. The
- 8:11Speaker 1: offensive line that you that what you guys saw a
- 8:13Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago is even worse. Now they've lost,
- 8:16Speaker 1: They've lost even more guys. They're down the guys they
- 8:19Speaker 1: picked up off the street. It's a terrible offensive line. Yeah,
- 8:22Speaker 1: they're struggling in a big way. And they're not big,
- 8:25Speaker 1: they're not physical. I mean, without Derrick Henry, this is
- 8:28Speaker 1: one of the worst teams in the foot and football offensively.
- 8:31Speaker 1: And so I'm with you, Pete, but Derrick Henry can
- 8:33Speaker 1: scare you now, because if he gets rolling, he is
- 8:35Speaker 1: a tough man to deal with. Well, obviously, the scene
- 8:39Speaker 1: is going to be electric. Eight fifteen kickoff times Saturday.
- 8:43Speaker 1: It's on ABC, the ESPN. The game is sponsored by
- 8:46Speaker 1: Johnson and Johnson Vision, providing healthy site for life. And
- 8:49Speaker 1: I was told today guys that they've already rolled out
- 8:51Speaker 1: standing room only tickets for this game, and I'm sure
- 8:54Speaker 1: those will go quickly as well. I don't think there'll
- 8:58Speaker 1: be a seat to be had on this place. And
- 9:00Speaker 1: it will be electric. First prime time non Thursday game
- 9:04Speaker 1: for the Jaguars since twenty eleven, when the Jags played
- 9:07Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. It has been a while. They've
- 9:10Speaker 1: had some Thursdays obviously in there, but it's been a
- 9:13Speaker 1: minute before a true Premier prime time slot a JP.
- 9:17Speaker 1: You said standing room only is available, or that's even
- 9:21Speaker 1: not they've heard today. I was told today that they're
- 9:24Speaker 1: out there now. It's amazing what Bosselli's cry to the
- 9:30Speaker 1: crowd masses. Will you know you had so much power?
- 9:34Speaker 1: I mean, all you do is say go buy the tickets,
- 9:36Speaker 1: and they go buy the ticket. Maybe the team should
- 9:38Speaker 1: give you a bonus this year, Tony. I mean, come on,
- 9:42Speaker 1: look what you did? They take just they take very
- 9:45Speaker 1: good care of me. Number one. I think our fans
- 9:47Speaker 1: were showing up regardless of what I said, um, and
- 9:50Speaker 1: so give them credit. The fund the fund. It's gonna
- 9:53Speaker 1: be like Dallas, but without the Dallas fans to be
- 9:55Speaker 1: all Jack fans, and it's gonna be packed, and it's
- 9:58Speaker 1: gonna be a great atmosphere and I look for to
- 10:00Speaker 1: it and it's gonna go. I think I think the
- 10:02Speaker 1: Jags win. I called it from the beginning. I said
- 10:04Speaker 1: they'd sweep the Titans this year. They have sweat. They're
- 10:06Speaker 1: gonna sweep them. Uh, and they're gonna go into the
- 10:08Speaker 1: playoffs one of the hottest teams in the NFL. I
- 10:11Speaker 1: agree with you. I can't, And you know me, I'm
- 10:14Speaker 1: one that looks back at history and what's happened and
- 10:18Speaker 1: and trends and teams have owned teams. I can't see
- 10:22Speaker 1: how this Titans team can win. I just can't. And
- 10:25Speaker 1: even if Derrick Henry gets going, which he did in
- 10:27Speaker 1: the first game, by the way, let's not forget that
- 10:29Speaker 1: he had a hundred yards there, you know, in that game.
- 10:32Speaker 1: But I just don't see that happening. I don't see
- 10:35Speaker 1: this team hanging around. They're tough, they're gonna take Rabel's personality,
- 10:39Speaker 1: but at some point you're just gonna get your buppy
- 10:41Speaker 1: because you're not as good enough. They lost too many players.
- 10:44Speaker 1: There's too damaged right now. That's what they are. Yeah,
- 10:47Speaker 1: they're just they're not healthy going in, you know, into
- 10:50Speaker 1: week eighteen, and and they're gonna play tough. That's who
- 10:52Speaker 1: they are. They're gonna try, They're gonna come out there
- 10:54Speaker 1: and try to be physical. But I think early in
- 10:58Speaker 1: this game, if the defense could take it to the
- 11:00Speaker 1: offensive line and set the tempo, I have confidence we're
- 11:03Speaker 1: going to score points offensively. I think defensively early is
- 11:06Speaker 1: gonna be critical. Just to shut Derrick Henry down. I'll
- 11:09Speaker 1: tell you one thing, though, Tony the quarterback better play
- 11:12Speaker 1: better than he did on on Sunday. He wasn't good
- 11:14Speaker 1: Sunday and not. You know, we've promoted him big time.
- 11:18Speaker 1: We've pumped them up even when things were going bad.
- 11:20Speaker 1: These kids gonna be a franchise quarterback. That was not
- 11:23Speaker 1: a good day for him by his standards in any way,
- 11:26Speaker 1: shape or form. I thought he was a lot of throws,
- 11:29Speaker 1: was high, was wild, had guys open and missed him.
- 11:31Speaker 1: It just wasn't a good performance by him. Yeah, it
- 11:34Speaker 1: wasn't his best day. I was watching the warm up
- 11:36Speaker 1: Pete it was and he missed a couple of high
- 11:38Speaker 1: during warm ups and I was like, I was hoping
- 11:40Speaker 1: during warmup was just no big deal. But it carried
- 11:43Speaker 1: over and he was high and a number of throws
- 11:46Speaker 1: early in that game, and he was not great. I
- 11:49Speaker 1: thought the decision making was not great, but it was
- 11:53Speaker 1: mainly the high throws, because if he's on target, I
- 11:55Speaker 1: think this game is even uglier earlier. But he did
- 11:58Speaker 1: get a check mark for blocking. He did give him
- 12:00Speaker 1: a check. What they written that play? I'm like, oh,
- 12:04Speaker 1: there's Pete's play. What are you doing? Wait there it
- 12:11Speaker 1: is it's I gotta have at least one, if not
- 12:13Speaker 1: to a game. What in the hell was that? I
- 12:18Speaker 1: hadn't said something during the broadcast Pete I said, um,
- 12:22Speaker 1: let's not call it any more plays where our quarterback,
- 12:24Speaker 1: franchise quarterback is the lead blocker. I mean I'm watching
- 12:28Speaker 1: and I go, what are they doing? I mean he
- 12:31Speaker 1: should and he actually got the guy's way and shielded
- 12:34Speaker 1: him a little bit and got actually was blocking. Sometimes
- 12:39Speaker 1: quarterbacks to go out there and kind of like just
- 12:41Speaker 1: try and get in front of the guy he was blocking.
- 12:43Speaker 1: What do you mean doing? Why would you call that play?
- 12:46Speaker 1: I don't like it either. Pete's hate play of the leak.
- 12:49Speaker 1: New segment for next season. Maybe we'll do that. Oh
- 12:52Speaker 1: it's believe me, I can pick him out. And that's
- 12:54Speaker 1: when that one, that one stood out, like, I mean,
- 12:56Speaker 1: it was so bad, let's come back. Well, you an offense.
- 13:00Speaker 1: More on Trevor Lawrence's day other than blocking and Travis
- 13:05Speaker 1: e t N's day. In at least one half of
- 13:08Speaker 1: football yesterday, he took one to the house. B r

- 14:32Speaker 1: The offensive performance yesterday, you guys touched on Trevor Lawrence's day.
- 14:37Speaker 1: He was seventeen of twenty one hundred and fifty two yards,
- 14:40Speaker 1: no touchdowns through an interception. In the game, Travis E
- 14:43Speaker 1: t n played a half, but it was a really
- 14:46Speaker 1: good half. Nine carries a hundred eight yards, including a
- 14:49Speaker 1: sixty two yard breakaway touchdown. He finally took one the distance,
- 14:53Speaker 1: something we've been waiting on for a little bit from Travis,
- 14:56Speaker 1: but good to see for the second year running back
- 14:59Speaker 1: out of Clemson. Pete. Yeah. And you know what, JP,
- 15:03Speaker 1: You remember all that talk early in the season when
- 15:05Speaker 1: we were talking about how we didn't know I did.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I never thought it, but a lot of people did.
- 15:08Speaker 1: If he could handle running between the tackles, well, you
- 15:12Speaker 1: sure can. I mean, and and he's he's tougher than
- 15:15Speaker 1: a lot of people thought he would be. He's physical,
- 15:19Speaker 1: he's got that good strong legs, and and he's got
- 15:21Speaker 1: the ability to rip off those long runs. I mean,
- 15:23Speaker 1: he's everything you want in the back in the modernary
- 15:27Speaker 1: and and I saw a stat today. Did you see
- 15:29Speaker 1: this that? I think there's three guys that have two
- 15:34Speaker 1: hundred carries average five yards per carry, and then I
- 15:37Speaker 1: think it's reception something the receptions. Well, he's in the
- 15:41Speaker 1: same group with I think it's Barkley or no Elliott
- 15:46Speaker 1: and um somebody else. There's only three of them, and
- 15:49Speaker 1: he's in that class. I mean, he's putting up some
- 15:51Speaker 1: impressive numbers. What's his yards per carry number right now?
- 15:54Speaker 1: As it is, it's high. I will double check that
- 15:57Speaker 1: real quick. I would say it's got to be in
- 16:00Speaker 1: at least five jaguar is rushing. Yeah, five point two
- 16:07Speaker 1: yards per carry. I think, Pete, everything you said, I
- 16:11Speaker 1: agree with my one criticism of Travis actually probably it's
- 16:14Speaker 1: two um is ball security. He needs to work on that,
- 16:19Speaker 1: and it's actually connected to the second one. He takes
- 16:23Speaker 1: too many big hits. He like he is, like, he's
- 16:26Speaker 1: really good between the tackles. I agree with you, Pete,
- 16:28Speaker 1: And he has better strength and power than it looks,
- 16:32Speaker 1: and I've been super impressed with him all year, but boy,
- 16:35Speaker 1: he takes some big hits and I just like he
- 16:38Speaker 1: doesn't like he doesn't like turn at the last minute,
- 16:41Speaker 1: you know, like all the great backs seem to do,
- 16:43Speaker 1: and like he gets walloped, and I think that leads
- 16:46Speaker 1: to some of the ball security issues. I mean that's
- 16:48Speaker 1: my only if I'm being nitpicky. But as far as
- 16:51Speaker 1: production and what he's doing this year, Pete, it's been outstanding.
- 16:54Speaker 1: Here you go. He's the first year running back. First
- 16:56Speaker 1: year running backs to average five yards per carry and
- 17:00Speaker 1: nine yards per catch, minimum two rush attempts and thirty catches,
- 17:05Speaker 1: Clinton Portis, Zeke Elliott, and Travis c t n. That's it.
- 17:10Speaker 1: The first season on the field. It's impressive. That's impressive.
- 17:15Speaker 1: I mean, and and he's dynamic when he gets into space.
- 17:19Speaker 1: I mean, that's what he is. He's got that ability
- 17:21Speaker 1: to you know, to go to distance and that's scary.
- 17:24Speaker 1: That makes you defend him a little bit differently. You know,
- 17:26Speaker 1: when everybody can when running back and take at the distance,
- 17:28Speaker 1: it puts fear in you. And he can do that,
- 17:31Speaker 1: and I think he you know, it's funny he actually
- 17:33Speaker 1: looks faster. That's a lot faster on the on the surface.
- 17:38Speaker 1: Don't you think that he does on grass? I mean
- 17:40Speaker 1: a lot of guys do but he does for sure. Yeah,
- 17:43Speaker 1: I don't know if that jumped out at me, but
- 17:45Speaker 1: he's definitely a home and threat to your point, Pete,
- 17:47Speaker 1: he gets into open field, he has the ability to
- 17:48Speaker 1: take it to the house because he has had speed.
- 17:51Speaker 1: And I think he's only gonna get better. He's gonna
- 17:52Speaker 1: get more and more of a feel for the game.
- 17:54Speaker 1: I still think they can even use him more in
- 17:56Speaker 1: the passing game, because, um, I think that's the next evolution.
- 18:01Speaker 1: Uh My, guess is doesn't want to put too much
- 18:03Speaker 1: on his plate because he's already got a bunch of
- 18:05Speaker 1: touches um during the season, and so for the first
- 18:09Speaker 1: year guy, I mean, I think I don't think you
- 18:10Speaker 1: could ask for more, Pete. I think he's done a
- 18:12Speaker 1: great job, you know. Eckler's catch caught has caught a
- 18:15Speaker 1: hundred and three passes and has thirteen touchdowns for for
- 18:18Speaker 1: the Chargers. But he could also run it too. He's
- 18:20Speaker 1: had some good running games too. Can he get to
- 18:23Speaker 1: where he's catching sixties something a game a year, Yeah,
- 18:27Speaker 1: I agree to I think they will. I think was
- 18:32Speaker 1: a good comparison. I think Travis is probably a little
- 18:34Speaker 1: bit faster, Butler is a heck of a back. I
- 18:37Speaker 1: mean both receiving and running the ball. Yeah, I'll be honest.
- 18:42Speaker 1: I love the way they called plays, and you know
- 18:44Speaker 1: I criticized that one play, but the way he gets
- 18:47Speaker 1: he gets guys in space like that, was that the
- 18:50Speaker 1: boot where he had he had not the Yeah, he
- 18:52Speaker 1: had the boot. He had Travis come across the formation.
- 18:55Speaker 1: All the action was going to the right, and he
- 18:57Speaker 1: sneaks out and he gets the big catch down the sideline.
- 19:00Speaker 1: I mean, I think they are so hard. They're hard
- 19:02Speaker 1: to defend. If you're preparing for Jackson with a hard
- 19:05Speaker 1: to defend because they make you use the whole field
- 19:08Speaker 1: and they get you flowing and coming back the other way.
- 19:10Speaker 1: You don't know whether you can go hard one way
- 19:13Speaker 1: and they're gonna sneak guy back across the formation against you.
- 19:17Speaker 1: I love. I love the design of the offense. I
- 19:19Speaker 1: love the way they call plays. I you know, I
- 19:21Speaker 1: still would prefer a couple of more shots down the field,
- 19:24Speaker 1: but that's me um. But I still I think he's
- 19:27Speaker 1: a great play caller. Well, I think Pete. The other
- 19:30Speaker 1: thing that makes it hard to defend him is the
- 19:31Speaker 1: quarterback because he's athletic, he's athletic and has the big arms,
- 19:35Speaker 1: so you have to respect his legs. Now, he's got
- 19:37Speaker 1: a run the first guy a by any means, but boy,
- 19:40Speaker 1: if he gets out on the edge, you can run
- 19:42Speaker 1: this own read I mean. And they do it enough
- 19:44Speaker 1: where you have to respect it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's
- 19:48Speaker 1: a good offense, good offense. Big three were kind of quiet.
- 19:51Speaker 1: The you know, we've just heard from Christian Kircter. He
- 19:54Speaker 1: went over a thousand yards but didn't have a huge day,
- 19:56Speaker 1: Say Jones was pretty quiet of an Ingram who obviously
- 19:59Speaker 1: had a big game against Tennessee a few weeks ago.
- 20:02Speaker 1: All those guys were relatively quiet. Didn't have to be
- 20:05Speaker 1: a big day for them to get it done yesterday.
- 20:07Speaker 1: But you would expect this week that it's all hands
- 20:10Speaker 1: on deck. We're ready to throw it around the yard
- 20:13Speaker 1: a little bit against the Tennessee defense. You know, it's weird.
- 20:16Speaker 1: And I watched the tape of that game. It almost
- 20:18Speaker 1: looked like they did what they had to do and
- 20:20Speaker 1: that was just about it. And then you get ready
- 20:22Speaker 1: to go home. That's all that felt like. The entire game.
- 20:25Speaker 1: There's nothing, it was nothing, you know, crazy, It was
- 20:28Speaker 1: get the lead, hold onto the lead and go home.
- 20:32Speaker 1: It wasn't like they got the ball into the playmaker's
- 20:34Speaker 1: hands a ton and and we said it earlier. Trevor
- 20:37Speaker 1: was off a little bit, he missed some throws. But
- 20:39Speaker 1: I just think that was one of those games. Let's
- 20:41Speaker 1: get out of here. I hope we don't have any injuries,
- 20:43Speaker 1: win the game, and don't do anything crazy. That's what
- 20:45Speaker 1: That's what I thought they did. Watch that tape, Yeah,
- 20:48Speaker 1: I agree with you. I mean, it was not their
- 20:50Speaker 1: best offensive performance, but I don't think it needed to be,
- 20:52Speaker 1: you know, especially once they got that uh sack fumble touchdown,
- 20:57Speaker 1: shot it down. They weren't twenty one nothing. It's like, okay,
- 21:00Speaker 1: let's just be smart. Let's you know, let's get out,
- 21:02Speaker 1: let's not let's not give the Texans anything. Let's make
- 21:05Speaker 1: them earn everything because they probably can't, and get ready
- 21:09Speaker 1: to go play, go home, and get ready for the
- 21:12Speaker 1: biggest game in this franchise. Is you can argue regular
- 21:15Speaker 1: season history. No, it probably is the biggest game in
- 21:20Speaker 1: regular season history. The only thing that I didn't even
- 21:22Speaker 1: can compare to it, Pete, is the nineties six game
- 21:24Speaker 1: against the Falcons. Yeah, because that was but that wasn't
- 21:31Speaker 1: exactly a win and get in scenario when they kicked off,
- 21:34Speaker 1: wasn't I was winning get in for us. We control
- 21:36Speaker 1: their own destiny. That's right, that's right. So that's what
- 21:39Speaker 1: this this that's comparable for a division title. That was
- 21:43Speaker 1: for a wild card spot. And this is against your
- 21:46Speaker 1: arch rival, which is huge. This is the big This
- 21:48Speaker 1: is the biggest game regular season game in franchise history,
- 21:52Speaker 1: I don't think and and the fact that its home
- 21:55Speaker 1: is a good thing too, but it is. I mean,
- 21:57Speaker 1: you wanted to get in as a wild card team.
- 22:00Speaker 1: They're winning a division. If they get in, Matt that's different.
- 22:03Speaker 1: That assures you a whole playoff game as well, which
- 22:06Speaker 1: makes us the biggest one in franchise history. I just
- 22:09Speaker 1: gotta go perform. We're back at the moment. We'll get
- 22:12Speaker 1: into the defensive performance yesterday, including Josh Allen and what
- 22:16Speaker 1: he's done over the last month or so well. Of course,
- 22:21Speaker 1: in the second hour your social media questions. Busy day
- 22:23Speaker 1: on Twitter after the Jaguars win and looking ahead to
- 22:26Speaker 1: the Saturday night showdown at the Bank the Tennessee Titans
- 22:30Speaker 1: and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week eight teen for the
- 22:32Speaker 1: a f C South Championship. This is Jaguars Happy Hour
- 22:35Speaker 1: presented by Jet Home Loans on the Jaguars Digital Network.
- 22:47Speaker 1: Welcome Back is Jaguars Happy Hour. It is Monday after
- 22:50Speaker 1: the Jaguars win in Houston. To improve the eight and
- 22:54Speaker 1: eight j P Shadrick with Pete Frisco and Tony Vaselli
- 22:57Speaker 1: and Alexando Week eight team the Tennessee Titans and the
- 23:00Speaker 1: Jacksonville Jaguars on ABC and ESPN Saturday, eight pm. Limited
- 23:07Speaker 1: tickets available. And we can only say that for so
- 23:10Speaker 1: long they have gone quick already. It should be a
- 23:13Speaker 1: fantastic scene at the bank this week. Jaguars defense got
- 23:16Speaker 1: it done in Houston, allowing only three points the Texans
- 23:20Speaker 1: moving different quarterbacks in and out of the game. By
- 23:23Speaker 1: the way, underrated touchdown celebration for Tyson Campbell writing the
- 23:28Speaker 1: bull in the end zone. That was pretty strong. I
- 23:30Speaker 1: thought on the fumble return, guys, so hey, when you're
- 23:33Speaker 1: doing that, you're up three touchdowns, you can celebrate like that.
- 23:36Speaker 1: It was good. Look the defense, actually, I mean that
- 23:40Speaker 1: offense thinks, let's be real, but the defense played well.
- 23:43Speaker 1: I thought on Sunday, the offense is terrible. That is
- 23:46Speaker 1: a bad offense, and they have a lot of where
- 23:48Speaker 1: they're gonna end up with Bryce Young probably um as
- 23:51Speaker 1: a quarterback, I think, or c. J. Stroud or somebody
- 23:54Speaker 1: because they have they're gonna have the top overall pick.
- 23:56Speaker 1: But man, Tony watching that, that was a bad It's
- 23:59Speaker 1: a bad uh. And you know, Larry mdtuns is a
- 24:02Speaker 1: good player, and he even had some problems on Sunday.
- 24:05Speaker 1: I thought, I thought the rush was good. I thought
- 24:06Speaker 1: Josh Allen played great. That was his best game, best
- 24:09Speaker 1: game in the year, I thought, and give him a
- 24:11Speaker 1: chase on some credit too. I thought he had some
- 24:13Speaker 1: nice rises against Hunt. Actually bull rushed them a couple
- 24:16Speaker 1: of times, which you didn't expect to see from Chason.
- 24:19Speaker 1: And and Key is in watching that tape. Key is
- 24:22Speaker 1: such a good addition to that. Man, he's a good
- 24:26Speaker 1: football player and he plays hard all the time. And
- 24:29Speaker 1: Roy Robertson Harris look like the last couple of weeks,
- 24:33Speaker 1: three or four, three weeks, he's looked like he looked
- 24:35Speaker 1: early in this season. He's been powerful on the inside.
- 24:39Speaker 1: He went through a little bit of a low in
- 24:40Speaker 1: the middle of the season. Peter, Yeah, I don't know
- 24:43Speaker 1: what it was. Because he's been playing dominant the last
- 24:45Speaker 1: three weeks. Yeah, I mean that's when when they're playing
- 24:49Speaker 1: to what we think they should play, that can be
- 24:52Speaker 1: a pretty good front. It really can. Hey, you mentioned
- 24:54Speaker 1: Josh Allen and his game yesterday, but it's not just yesterday,
- 24:57Speaker 1: it's the last month or so. Um. He put together
- 25:00Speaker 1: three sacks over the last four games on a total
- 25:03Speaker 1: of what fourteen tackles in that time. He's been trending
- 25:08Speaker 1: in the right direction already the last month or so.
- 25:10Speaker 1: You know, I go back to something Tony said earlier
- 25:13Speaker 1: this season. He might have been hurt the way he's
- 25:15Speaker 1: playing in the last three or four weeks. You said
- 25:17Speaker 1: that Tony earlier season. You you said, it just doesn't
- 25:20Speaker 1: look the same. He didn't. The last three weeks. He's looked.
- 25:24Speaker 1: Remember we always talked about twitchy and explosive. He's played
- 25:28Speaker 1: with power pete. Yeah, he's looked like we expected him
- 25:31Speaker 1: to look. So I bet you deep after the season,
- 25:35Speaker 1: deep down, you talked to him there was something going
- 25:37Speaker 1: on with him. But I thought Sunday was his best
- 25:40Speaker 1: game of the year. I thought it was by far
- 25:42Speaker 1: as best game of the year. Powerful, athletic, quick, even
- 25:48Speaker 1: the Chason Sac that Jason got was a nice rush,
- 25:50Speaker 1: but it was because of Josh Allen. He took the
- 25:51Speaker 1: tackle and threw him into the into the uh into
- 25:56Speaker 1: Davis Mills. I mean that was a great power Russian time.
- 26:00Speaker 1: Tyus Howard. Yeah, they abused Titus Howard. He had a
- 26:03Speaker 1: rough Whoever was over him abused him, who was a
- 26:06Speaker 1: rough go of him, and and they got the best
- 26:08Speaker 1: of Tonso in some past rush situations, I thought, I
- 26:10Speaker 1: thought it was a good performance. By the way, what
- 26:12Speaker 1: do you think oft with his hand on the ground,
- 26:16Speaker 1: I mean, he he he. I thought he played good,
- 26:21Speaker 1: good football, not great physical. He disrupted one. He had
- 26:25Speaker 1: one rush where he got near him and the inside
- 26:27Speaker 1: move there. I thought that was a good play. Yeah,
- 26:30Speaker 1: but you know, I mean for his first game back,
- 26:33Speaker 1: I thought it was good. I like him with his
- 26:36Speaker 1: hand down, he's much better, he's wait more powerful, Yeah,
- 26:40Speaker 1: much better. So that's good news with the defense. So
- 26:46Speaker 1: this week obviously different challenge. We've touched on a little bit.
- 26:49Speaker 1: Derrick Henry Um. You know what he did early in
- 26:52Speaker 1: that game just a few weeks ago. Other than that,
- 26:55Speaker 1: what do the Titans have to offer on offense right now? Nothing? Zero.
- 27:01Speaker 1: You know, the rookie tight ends a pretty good player.
- 27:04Speaker 1: He's a quarterback. Well, he's a good tight end, but
- 27:07Speaker 1: what quarterbacks gonna get it to him? Pete, Well, let's
- 27:11Speaker 1: be real, Dobbs is better than Malik Willis, right, I'm
- 27:14Speaker 1: talking about a miss like does Malick Willis even look
- 27:19Speaker 1: like a guy who can figure it out? No? I
- 27:22Speaker 1: never liked him to coming out. I didn't think it's
- 27:24Speaker 1: gonna be very good to begin with. And I got
- 27:26Speaker 1: killed when I put my valuation of him up. And
- 27:28Speaker 1: and so look, here's the bottom line. This defense should
- 27:33Speaker 1: dominate that offense. They should have. You know, did you
- 27:35Speaker 1: see what the Steelers did last night to the Ravens Tony?
- 27:39Speaker 1: I didn't see much of the game. They ran a
- 27:41Speaker 1: six two stack monster. Why Jacksonville might be able to
- 27:46Speaker 1: play Tennessee by playing a six two stack monster? I
- 27:49Speaker 1: play three lineas did you say? But six? To remember this,
- 27:54Speaker 1: they played the way the Steelers play. They actually have
- 27:56Speaker 1: the two outside linebackers, but they play I play maybe
- 27:59Speaker 1: you do that maybe and play six to stack monster
- 28:04Speaker 1: like in all the right moves. Yeah, I would say, Pete,
- 28:08Speaker 1: make Josh Dobbs beat you. No, Ahead, we're gonna play
- 28:11Speaker 1: man across the board and if you can beat this,
- 28:13Speaker 1: Josh Dobbs, God bless you. And by the way, those
- 28:17Speaker 1: two corners are playing well now, both of them. And
- 28:19Speaker 1: that's not a great passing game. But but those two corners.
- 28:23Speaker 1: I thought Campbell's played played well on Sunday, and I
- 28:25Speaker 1: thought the last month Darius Waves have been outstanding. Please
- 28:29Speaker 1: tell me you're not getting into the usc Bowl game.
- 28:32Speaker 1: I see you looking up at your TV. You can't
- 28:34Speaker 1: possibly care about that. There's a reason why. Here's the Yeah,
- 28:40Speaker 1: here's the updates. We's got a safety against us with
- 28:43Speaker 1: three minutes left. We have to punt it back and
- 28:45Speaker 1: we're only up six. Yeah, it's pretty twenty to play.
- 28:48Speaker 1: It's not ideal. It's too lame. By the way, that's
- 28:52Speaker 1: not They were blowing them out, weren't they. Yea, our
- 28:56Speaker 1: defense can't play believable. Hey, aren't you in the cotton
- 29:02Speaker 1: Ball Hall of Fame? Tony? I am. I'm surried. I
- 29:05Speaker 1: should have gone. You played a half I think, and
- 29:07Speaker 1: got in the Hall of Fame. So half in one series? JP,
- 29:10Speaker 1: get it right? Please wait, you played a half in
- 29:12Speaker 1: one series and you're in the cotton Ball Hall of Fame,
- 29:17Speaker 1: they'll give you, they'll give an award to anybody for
- 29:20Speaker 1: just showing up. My gosh. Um, but yeah, these bowl games. Look,
- 29:28Speaker 1: the college football playoff games were fantastic. They were the
- 29:30Speaker 1: other day, but the rest of them are exhibition games.
- 29:33Speaker 1: Come on, this is jp You'll remember this. Remember when
- 29:35Speaker 1: Alabama had to go play Utah early and Savings deal,
- 29:39Speaker 1: Utah beat them. They got smoked. That didn't happen the
- 29:41Speaker 1: other day. No, No, I'm just saying this is like,
- 29:45Speaker 1: this is everything for Tulane and that See he's like,
- 29:47Speaker 1: let's just go play right, Yeah, exactly. Um, but that, yeah,
- 29:52Speaker 1: you're right, that was that was a big se I
- 29:54Speaker 1: keep seeing looking up, but looking up, looking up, he's
- 29:56Speaker 1: looking at the game. He's watching it comes up. This
- 30:00Speaker 1: is game. But back to the defense, I thought, I
- 30:06Speaker 1: think some of the Cisco's growing up a great deal
- 30:09Speaker 1: in the last six weeks. I think he's become a
- 30:11Speaker 1: much better player. The corners are playing much better. Listen
- 30:16Speaker 1: to you early, you said, moved Darius Williams outside. He's
- 30:20Speaker 1: been outstanding playing out there. They haven't got and they
- 30:23Speaker 1: haven't been killed playing inside with Herndon, you know it
- 30:26Speaker 1: hasn't killed him. Now, if you play the Chargers in
- 30:29Speaker 1: the postseason, that could be a problem. Well, yeah, they're
- 30:31Speaker 1: gonna put Keenan Allen in the slot. But the only
- 30:35Speaker 1: thing about that, Tony, you know, we talked about Herndon
- 30:39Speaker 1: not being able to run that well and everything, but
- 30:41Speaker 1: Keenan Allen's not fast. So it's not a terrible matchup. No, no,
- 30:46Speaker 1: But again this week six to stack monster. Dare him
- 30:50Speaker 1: to be there. If Josh Dobbs beat you, God bless you.
- 30:53Speaker 1: You deserved that, Tennessee. You cannot let two beat you.
- 30:57Speaker 1: You cannot let him beat you. Dive at legs, don't
- 31:02Speaker 1: let him get going. You know, the best way to
- 31:04Speaker 1: stop him if you penetrate. He's not getting it going period.
- 31:08Speaker 1: Once he gets going, forget about it. He's tough to
- 31:11Speaker 1: bring down, tough, really tough to bring down. I think
- 31:14Speaker 1: it's three straight games against the Jags now over a
- 31:16Speaker 1: hundred yards for Henry and obviously we know his track
- 31:19Speaker 1: record against this organ line is so bad though, I'm
- 31:22Speaker 1: telling you it is. You know, Ben Jones isn't there anymore.
- 31:26Speaker 1: The center of the right guard is a guy they
- 31:28Speaker 1: picked up off the scrap heap. I mean it is bad.
- 31:32Speaker 1: It's a. It's a. It wasn't a great offensive line
- 31:34Speaker 1: to start the season. No, with Luan getting getting hurt
- 31:39Speaker 1: and they've gotten worse well, and the only guy that's
- 31:42Speaker 1: still in the lineup is Brewer. And he's tiny. He's
- 31:45Speaker 1: not he's like two seventy three. I mean it's he
- 31:48Speaker 1: looks like me when I played guard. Yeah, not, but
- 31:55Speaker 1: but by comparison to the NFL players I'm talking about,
- 31:58Speaker 1: he's tiny. He's tiny. Wow. Uh, let's come back in
- 32:02Speaker 1: a moment and we'll take a look at the AFC South. Yes,
- 32:05Speaker 1: it's on the line this coming week, Week eighteen, and
- 32:09Speaker 1: some sad news former Jaguar passing away just a few
- 32:12Speaker 1: days ago. The report came out today. And if you're
- 32:14Speaker 1: looking for the m v P of the truck game,
- 32:16Speaker 1: then look no further than Ford F one fifty. Loaded
- 32:19Speaker 1: with impressive capability and designed to dominate, work, play and

- 33:45Speaker 1: Prisco and a very anxious Tony Baselli as the Dulane
- 33:49Speaker 1: Green Wave drive down the field. They just executed a
- 33:52Speaker 1: fourth down conversion to get to the thirty down by
- 33:55Speaker 1: six twenty two seconds to play in the Cotton Bowl Classic.
- 33:59Speaker 1: No time outs for the Green Wave here they come
- 34:02Speaker 1: down the field on the sc defense has been like
- 34:04Speaker 1: Swiss cheese all season. Do they have any time outs left?
- 34:07Speaker 1: No time Oh, there's no way they're scoring from the
- 34:11Speaker 1: thirty no time outs? Defense? Can we can make it
- 34:15Speaker 1: happen for you? So what's going on? Give me a
- 34:18Speaker 1: play by play? They just spiked it should have been
- 34:23Speaker 1: uh illegal touching because he spiked it and threw it
- 34:26Speaker 1: into the offensive line. But they're not throwing the flat
- 34:29Speaker 1: sc this year is like a hundred ninth in college
- 34:31Speaker 1: football and total defense, but they're like top ten and takeaways.
- 34:34Speaker 1: It's weird. Oh, wide open at the tin inside the
- 34:39Speaker 1: ten of the five, first and goal. Come on too, lane,
- 34:42Speaker 1: let's go. I love this. Oh my god, Welcome to
- 34:47Speaker 1: Arizona States World. They don't even make bowl games. Unbelievable.
- 34:55Speaker 1: Seventeen seconds, a couple of players are hurt. Time out
- 34:57Speaker 1: on the field. I'm ahead of Tony. He was the lane.
- 35:00Speaker 1: He just thought, oh man, helmet to helmet there's all
- 35:05Speaker 1: that anyway, all right, So let's look around the AFC
- 35:08Speaker 1: South Division standings. Well, we all know what's at stake
- 35:11Speaker 1: this Saturday night, the Jaguars and the Titans. It's all
- 35:15Speaker 1: come down to this. The win oral tie for the
- 35:19Speaker 1: Jaguars would give the Jags the division title. The Titans
- 35:23Speaker 1: have no wild card hopes at all, So the Jaguars
- 35:28Speaker 1: actually have a backdoor chance at a wild card with
- 35:31Speaker 1: a loss. They need three other things to happen on
- 35:33Speaker 1: Sunday for that to be the case. But hey, the
- 35:37Speaker 1: one way to guarantee it, obviously, is to win the
- 35:39Speaker 1: football game or tie it, which could be you know,
- 35:42Speaker 1: three minutes to go it over time you get the
- 35:44Speaker 1: football from your own ten pete. I mean you you know,
- 35:47Speaker 1: you kind of change your mindset in that regard. That's
- 35:49Speaker 1: why yesterday's game was big too. Well, yeah, you would
- 35:52Speaker 1: change your mindset. But you're not gonna I mean, it's
- 35:54Speaker 1: hard to play to tie. You're just not gonna go fast,
- 35:56Speaker 1: that's all. You still gotta get a first down, right,
- 35:59Speaker 1: It's you know what I mean, You're just not gonna
- 36:01Speaker 1: tempo and throw the ball around this USC game. Sorry, guys,
- 36:05Speaker 1: it's just stressing me out. I thought the game didn't. Well,
- 36:10Speaker 1: let's go back to the Titans. That's more enjoyable because
- 36:12Speaker 1: I think we're gonna beat the hell out of them.
- 36:14Speaker 1: You don't worry about the ti JP. Go win the game.
- 36:17Speaker 1: That's loser, talk by you. And I said it early
- 36:22Speaker 1: in the season. The Jags were the top of the
- 36:24Speaker 1: a f C in the power rankings. That's where they
- 36:25Speaker 1: ended up. I was right all along. Pete was wrong,
- 36:29Speaker 1: And Uh, it's gonna be a great atmosphere, and it's
- 36:33Speaker 1: everything is right there in front of you. It's exactly
- 36:35Speaker 1: what you want to play for as a player. You've
- 36:37Speaker 1: gotta be so excited for this opportunity. You're gonna go
- 36:40Speaker 1: out there and play national television. You win, you host
- 36:43Speaker 1: a playoff game, and the other possibilities aren't out of
- 36:46Speaker 1: the question, by the way. I mean, the Steelers could
- 36:49Speaker 1: lose to the Browns, the Dolphins could lose to the Jets,
- 36:52Speaker 1: and and what's the third one, Bill beat them beat
- 36:56Speaker 1: the Patriots. Those all are possible. You don't want to
- 37:00Speaker 1: you don't want to be a road wild guard team.
- 37:01Speaker 1: You'd rather win the division. So go win the damn game.
- 37:03Speaker 1: That's what you want. Yeah, you don't want to back
- 37:05Speaker 1: into it. No, not at all, um, But I mean
- 37:09Speaker 1: we've seen stranger things happen. If it's better than not
- 37:12Speaker 1: having it at all, you just win the game and
- 37:13Speaker 1: don't worry about it if you lose the game. You're
- 37:16Speaker 1: kind of watching with your hands together on Sunday to
- 37:19Speaker 1: see all that. Try to go down. The Colts and
- 37:21Speaker 1: the Texans this week, Well, the Texans are in the
- 37:24Speaker 1: lead for the number one overall pick at the moment, Pete.
- 37:27Speaker 1: Do they get there? Oh? Yeah, they're gonna get there,
- 37:32Speaker 1: although they play the Colts the cold Stink too. But
- 37:35Speaker 1: if you're the Texans, do you want to win that game? No?
- 37:40Speaker 1: The only the only thing about good for them though,
- 37:42Speaker 1: Think about this, Tony. The Bears aren't going to draft
- 37:45Speaker 1: a quarterback, but what they could do is trade to
- 37:47Speaker 1: somebody who could draft a quarterback. That's where that becomes
- 37:49Speaker 1: a problem. And do you like Bryce Young as an
- 37:53Speaker 1: NFL quarterback? I think no. I think he's good and
- 37:57Speaker 1: accurate and can throw it and has a good arm,
- 37:59Speaker 1: But you're ready, he's tiny, n And he was standing
- 38:00Speaker 1: next to Mark Ingram the other day. Markingram's five nine
- 38:04Speaker 1: he's the same size. Yeah, that that would worried I
- 38:07Speaker 1: mean I would worry me if I was it. Would
- 38:10Speaker 1: you take him? I don't think I wouldn't. I wouldn't
- 38:13Speaker 1: have taken Kyle Marly Murray. I don't like little like
- 38:16Speaker 1: really do take? Would you take Stroud? Over? You take Stroud?
- 38:19Speaker 1: Would you from a state Stroud or the kid from Kentucky? Kentucky?
- 38:24Speaker 1: Either one have to watch incomplete now, second and goal
- 38:29Speaker 1: at the six twelve second I saw it, JP. I
- 38:32Speaker 1: don't need to hear you. I want to JP. I
- 38:38Speaker 1: wish you had caught it because they attackled him in battle.
- 38:40Speaker 1: It might have been over. What do they got? Second down?
- 38:44Speaker 1: I want to see a second down and goal from
- 38:47Speaker 1: the five at the six yards second and goal, twelve
- 38:50Speaker 1: seconds to go right hash marks and they got so
- 38:52Speaker 1: they got two shots to the end zone or three
- 38:54Speaker 1: maybe well they just threw it short and the guy
- 38:57Speaker 1: would have caught it. Waved off on the ends own incomplete,
- 39:01Speaker 1: waved off. It's gonna be third down with eight seconds, JP.
- 39:05Speaker 1: I don't need you telling me. I want to see
- 39:07Speaker 1: it myself. Well on radio right now, I gotta tell
- 39:10Speaker 1: people what's going on. I can't tell people we can't
- 39:12Speaker 1: they can't or they are they watching your face on?
- 39:15Speaker 1: Look at watch my face. But let's talk about oh,
- 39:18Speaker 1: that's gonna be a catch. It didn't hit the ground.
- 39:20Speaker 1: It didn't hit the ground. That's a touchdown. With a
- 39:22Speaker 1: touchdown green wave, let's go, oh my god it Why
- 39:26Speaker 1: are you so rute, so badly routing against him? I
- 39:29Speaker 1: don't get that jpdown. Why not route? He's routing your face.
- 39:40Speaker 1: But let's talk about something else. I don't want to
- 39:44Speaker 1: talk about underdogs. Well, some sad news today, you know.
- 39:49Speaker 1: The report came out today, but the Lafayette Journal and
- 39:52Speaker 1: Courier out of Indiana reporting that Wineri died Friday in
- 39:57Speaker 1: West Lafayette, Indiana, and the whole of his wife, according
- 40:00Speaker 1: to the report, drove up from Georgia. Police said he
- 40:03Speaker 1: was at his wife's house and apparently collapsed and she
- 40:07Speaker 1: found him unresponsive in a bedroom at about one am Friday.
- 40:11Speaker 1: There was an autopsy Monday and it indicated, apparently reportedly,
- 40:15Speaker 1: that there were no signs of foul play and preliminary
- 40:18Speaker 1: results indicata possible heart attack. So nary I was a
- 40:23Speaker 1: fifth round pick by the Jaguars and OH seven out
- 40:25Speaker 1: of Purdue obviously in West Lafayette and played over a
- 40:28Speaker 1: hundred games here nine two starts over seven seasons for
- 40:32Speaker 1: the Jaguars and an all around really good guy. And
- 40:35Speaker 1: in our dealings with him and Uh, I got here
- 40:38Speaker 1: in twenty twelve of the team, so I had him
- 40:40Speaker 1: for a couple of seasons here. Um, but just really sad, dudes.
- 40:43Speaker 1: He was thirty eight years old. Guys, No, it's it's terrible.
- 40:48Speaker 1: And uh was one of the great Jaguar you know,
- 40:50Speaker 1: as far as personality, like you said, JP, great, great dude,
- 40:54Speaker 1: was good to work with, played hard, you know. It's
- 40:58Speaker 1: just it's uh, it's it's sad. It's very sad. And
- 41:03Speaker 1: was a good dude. Man he was. He was always
- 41:05Speaker 1: a pros pro. He handled himself like a pro. He
- 41:08Speaker 1: was a good player too. I mean, he was a
- 41:09Speaker 1: good player on those teams. He was one of those
- 41:12Speaker 1: guys that the reason they were able to run the
- 41:13Speaker 1: ball the way they did. He because of his ability
- 41:16Speaker 1: to run, block and way too young. You hate to
- 41:18Speaker 1: hear it when anybody dies, but particularly when you're that age.
- 41:21Speaker 1: I mean, he has his whole life in front of
- 41:23Speaker 1: him and had been active on Twitter and stuff over
- 41:25Speaker 1: the you know last couple of big Jaguar backer you
- 41:28Speaker 1: know if you follow him, so, I I don't know,
- 41:30Speaker 1: it's just sad, sad, sad sad dudes way too young, absolutely,
- 41:35Speaker 1: and yeah, thirty eight years old. Was spending a lot
- 41:37Speaker 1: of time in Atlanta over the years. At one point,
- 41:40Speaker 1: I think he owned a tattoo shop in Atlanta. That
- 41:42Speaker 1: was his big hobby. Off to the side. He would
- 41:44Speaker 1: get tattoos everywhere when he was a player, and uh,
- 41:48Speaker 1: just real approachable, really good and helpful for the new
- 41:51Speaker 1: guy in the building that that I was at the time,
- 41:53Speaker 1: even though my roles way down the ladder, but he
- 41:55Speaker 1: was really cool to deal with. And just sad news
- 41:58Speaker 1: today that came out today apparently happened just a few
- 42:01Speaker 1: days ago. Um, So you know that's one of those
- 42:05Speaker 1: were I mean, the guy was a draft pick here
- 42:06Speaker 1: and was on the playoff team and oh seven and
- 42:09Speaker 1: then you know, as the years went on, went through
- 42:13Speaker 1: the transition with the ownership change, Malarkey's year and twelve,
- 42:17Speaker 1: Bradley's first year and thirteen, that's a lot of change
- 42:20Speaker 1: in the organizations from highs to lows and everything that
- 42:23Speaker 1: he was around here. Yeah, No, he was around for
- 42:25Speaker 1: a long time JP, And I think the best thing
- 42:27Speaker 1: you said about Duch obviously he was a good football player,
- 42:30Speaker 1: and Pete talked about he was really good. He was
- 42:32Speaker 1: key in that run when the playoffs, when they could
- 42:34Speaker 1: run the ball so well with Fred and Mojo. But
- 42:37Speaker 1: I think what people remember most is how good a
- 42:39Speaker 1: guy he was and whether whoever you were, um, dealing
- 42:43Speaker 1: with J was always a pleasure. And I'm just super
- 42:46Speaker 1: sad for his family. And uh, it's just wait, as
- 42:50Speaker 1: as we said way too early, and and uh it's
- 42:54Speaker 1: a reminder for all of us take care of your
- 42:55Speaker 1: health and get your regular checkups and try to stay
- 42:59Speaker 1: as healthy as possible because there's nothing is guaranteed. But
- 43:03Speaker 1: speaking of guards that have come and gone from Jacksonville,
- 43:05Speaker 1: I mean left to play for the Did you talk
- 43:07Speaker 1: to a J at all on Sunday? I did not,
- 43:11Speaker 1: can of course with the Texans. Yeah. Yeah, By the way,
- 43:14Speaker 1: it is actually played pretty well for him this year.
- 43:16Speaker 1: I thought he's played well this year for him. Yeah,
- 43:18Speaker 1: he's done a nice shop for him. So and always
- 43:21Speaker 1: another guy, another guard. I don't know what is with
- 43:24Speaker 1: your offensive lineman, but most of you are actually really good, dudes.
- 43:28Speaker 1: I'm serious, And you know what, it's not just on
- 43:32Speaker 1: your team, it's just I'm talking about in general. You
- 43:34Speaker 1: can go into a locker room, travel all around the league,
- 43:37Speaker 1: and you could always go to the offensive lineman to
- 43:40Speaker 1: get the real story and the right story, and there
- 43:44Speaker 1: take their time and talk to you, because I know
- 43:46Speaker 1: most people don't want to talk to the there's no
- 43:48Speaker 1: glitz and glamour to it. But you get the best
- 43:50Speaker 1: information from the offensive lineman most of the time. Well
- 43:54Speaker 1: ask for the truth because we're the smartest group of
- 43:56Speaker 1: the in the entire locker room. So if you want
- 43:58Speaker 1: the real deal and you want the information, you I'm
- 44:00Speaker 1: talk to us. You knew that, yeah, Plus you told
- 44:03Speaker 1: me everything. That was a good part of it. Tony
- 44:07Speaker 1: was deep throat in the locker room. I mean, yeah, yeah,
- 44:11Speaker 1: come on, it was gold. Why wouldn't I go over
- 44:14Speaker 1: to his logger. He told me every day that's the best.
- 44:18Speaker 1: He knows where the bodies are buried, he would tell me.
- 44:20Speaker 1: I mean, come on, you knew you told me everything. Whatever. Yeah,
- 44:25Speaker 1: by the way, the touchdown for thirty years a minute,
- 44:28Speaker 1: you told me stuff. I never told you anything. You're
- 44:32Speaker 1: a liar. You're one grade a liar. Yeah. Tom's not
- 44:40Speaker 1: gonna get mad at He's not gonna make you run
- 44:41Speaker 1: extra Sprindstone, I told you what I wanted you to know.
- 44:45Speaker 1: You told me, You told me plenty unbelievable by the
- 44:49Speaker 1: way the touchdown, the incomplete pass was overruled and called
- 44:53Speaker 1: a touchdown for Chile and the extra point good. And
- 44:56Speaker 1: now desperation for Southern California running around trying to keep
- 45:00Speaker 1: the ball live, no time on the clock. They're just
- 45:03Speaker 1: laterally all over the field at their own ten yard line.
- 45:06Speaker 1: This is almost impossible. Yeah, and it's recovered by Tulane
- 45:09Speaker 1: ball game green wave win. If you would have said
- 45:13Speaker 1: thirty years ago that Tulane beat USC in a bowl game,
- 45:18Speaker 1: they would have said, you're out of your mind, right.
- 45:23Speaker 1: I don't want to pay that. I don't want to
- 45:24Speaker 1: talk about it. Tulane coach really a good coach. Who
- 45:30Speaker 1: is it? Pete? It's um god? What is I watched
- 45:34Speaker 1: his games there, so it's like, what's his name? Uh God,
- 45:39Speaker 1: I'm having a brain brain Fritz really really good coach.
- 45:46Speaker 1: I mean they you see what their offense does well.
- 45:50Speaker 1: I saw him scoring with forty six points against US, Yes,
- 45:53Speaker 1: but they've done that all year against everybody. Tony there, really,
- 45:56Speaker 1: I don't care. I don't want to hear anything about
- 45:58Speaker 1: it matter. It doesn't matter your team. If you lost
- 46:01Speaker 1: an exhibition game, what happened? You dropped four spots in
- 46:03Speaker 1: the polls of cares. It's the largest turnaround in FBS history.
- 46:08Speaker 1: They were too intent last year and now they've turned
- 46:11Speaker 1: it around with a Cotton Bowl win over sc That's incredible.
- 46:16Speaker 1: Were there fans in the stands at the Yeah, I
- 46:23Speaker 1: did not been to say what, We're gonna win the
- 46:26Speaker 1: national title next year, so I'm not worried about it.
- 46:30Speaker 1: We'll come back in a moment and we'll recap the
- 46:32Speaker 1: Cotton Bowl again, and of course the Jaguars winner take
- 46:35Speaker 1: all battle against the Tennessee Titans. One hour down, one
- 46:40Speaker 1: hour ago. It's Monday, We're ahead of a Week eight
- 46:43Speaker 1: team and this is Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet
- 46:47Speaker 1: Home Loans on the Jaguars Digital Network. It kind of
- 46:55Speaker 1: build over, of course the year. Uh, every team, I mean,
- 47:00Speaker 1: you guys know, you go through adversity, you get the
- 47:02Speaker 1: highest loads of the season. We had a you know,
- 47:05Speaker 1: we had that stretch in October. That wasn't very good,
- 47:08Speaker 1: um for us. And but I think that builds your character,
- 47:10Speaker 1: your team, and and and we stayed, we stayed the course.
- 47:14Speaker 1: We stayed, you know, true to what we were doing. Um.
- 47:18Speaker 1: And and guys do become closer, they understand each other
- 47:22Speaker 1: a little bit better. And so you kind of as
- 47:24Speaker 1: you get into games like this, you know that the
- 47:28Speaker 1: player next to you has your back just like you
- 47:30Speaker 1: have his back. And and um, you know that's where
- 47:35Speaker 1: that's where we're at with this football team. And and um,
- 47:38Speaker 1: you know that can that can carry a good way,
- 47:42Speaker 1: I said coach Doug Peterson earlier today. And welcome back.
- 47:45Speaker 1: It's hour two of Jaguars Happy Hour after Week seventeen,
- 47:48Speaker 1: and it's onto a winner take all battle. In Week
- 47:51Speaker 1: eighteen is the Jaguars entertained the Tennessee Titans, j P Shadrick,
- 47:55Speaker 1: Tony Boselli, Pete Prisco and the Jaguars handled business yesterday
- 48:00Speaker 1: thirty one three, the final score. Four straight wins for
- 48:03Speaker 1: the Jaguars. The Titans lost Thursday night, the sixth straight
- 48:07Speaker 1: loss for Tennessee Travis E t N Yesterday scored on
- 48:10Speaker 1: a sixty two yard run Tyson Campbell, the cornerback, scored
- 48:14Speaker 1: on a twelve yard fumble return. The Jaguars scored first
- 48:18Speaker 1: the first time since Week eight in London against the Broncos.
- 48:21Speaker 1: They've had to rally and come back in all the
- 48:23Speaker 1: wins as of late. After starting the season two and six,
- 48:27Speaker 1: the Jaguars are six and two since then, and now
- 48:30Speaker 1: the Jaguars get into the playoffs as a division champion
- 48:33Speaker 1: with a win or a tie this week against Tennessee.
- 48:36Speaker 1: The back door wild cards still a possibility with a loss,
- 48:39Speaker 1: but all three of these things have to happen Sunday.
- 48:42Speaker 1: The Bills over the Patriots, the Browns over the Steelers,
- 48:46Speaker 1: and the Jets over the Dolphins. It's arguably the most
- 48:49Speaker 1: important regular season home game in Jaguars history this week,
- 48:52Speaker 1: division title on the line, game flex to primetime Titans
- 48:56Speaker 1: coming to town. Very few tickets remaining standing him only
- 49:00Speaker 1: being sold for Saturday night at eight fifteen at the Bank.
- 49:04Speaker 1: That about sums it up. It's a pretty good week
- 49:07Speaker 1: around here, guys. What's the buzz like in town? By
- 49:11Speaker 1: the way, it's hard. I think it's hard to say
- 49:15Speaker 1: so far. JP. I don't know about you, but it's
- 49:17Speaker 1: you know, I've been out about today. But and because
- 49:20Speaker 1: it's a holiday, no, I don't think any of the
- 49:22Speaker 1: local radio guys are on. So I think it'll really
- 49:24Speaker 1: get it. We'll get a feel for it and pick
- 49:26Speaker 1: up tomorrow. I know for that, my phone is digging
- 49:30Speaker 1: a lot. A lot of people have interest in the
- 49:32Speaker 1: game and trying to get to the game and get
- 49:35Speaker 1: in the game that kind of thing. Um. But yeah,
- 49:38Speaker 1: you're right. Well, you know, once you get around when
- 49:40Speaker 1: people are out in about, like this morning on the
- 49:42Speaker 1: way in, there was nobody out and about on the
- 49:44Speaker 1: road today, you know, or going in the coffee shop
- 49:47Speaker 1: or anything because it's a holiday, so it's kind of
- 49:49Speaker 1: hard to get that, um just listening to people in
- 49:54Speaker 1: conversation kind of thing, Pete. So we'll see. I think
- 49:58Speaker 1: it's gonna be huge. I can't imagine it's gonna feel
- 50:00Speaker 1: like old times there this week though, you know what
- 50:03Speaker 1: I mean, it hadn't felt that way in a long time. Well,
- 50:06Speaker 1: it's gonna be. It's gonna be packed. I mean, JP
- 50:09Speaker 1: talked about it. They're selling standing room only right now,
- 50:13Speaker 1: and I hope, I hope they sell every standing room
- 50:15Speaker 1: only ticket and that it should be electric. The crowd
- 50:19Speaker 1: should be going crazy, make it miserable for the Titans
- 50:22Speaker 1: and and celebrated, you know, celebrated division title. This team
- 50:26Speaker 1: does not have very many division titles. This would be
- 50:28Speaker 1: the four. This would be the fourth. Um, there's two
- 50:33Speaker 1: when I was playing one in seventeen, and this will
- 50:35Speaker 1: be the fourth. That's not very many. This is a
- 50:36Speaker 1: big deal and it's a big opportunity for this young
- 50:39Speaker 1: football team. Yeah that so there's only this will be
- 50:43Speaker 1: the fourth one, right, and then that's a that's not
- 50:45Speaker 1: a lot in a long, long history of playing football. Now,
- 50:49Speaker 1: they had a brutal division for a while there when
- 50:51Speaker 1: you guys were in the division to know, and it
- 50:55Speaker 1: was a tough division. I mean Pittsburgh, Tennessee, Baltimore, Baltimore,
- 51:01Speaker 1: it was tough. And of course, yeah, the AFC South
- 51:05Speaker 1: broke away and the Jaguars finally won that in seventeen.
- 51:09Speaker 1: They have an opportunity to do that again this week.
- 51:11Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of chatter and we'll get
- 51:13Speaker 1: to social media questions coming up in just a little bit,
- 51:15Speaker 1: but um, you know this Coach of the Year stuff, right,
- 51:19Speaker 1: I mean a lot of people are chiming in on
- 51:21Speaker 1: that for Doug Peterson now with you know, if this
- 51:25Speaker 1: team rallies from what they were going through in the
- 51:27Speaker 1: off season and where they were mid season to keep
- 51:30Speaker 1: them afloat, keep them in it and rally and when
- 51:33Speaker 1: the division would be a huge get there. Obviously, there's
- 51:36Speaker 1: a handful of other teams that will have an argument
- 51:39Speaker 1: for this as well, especially if the Lions get in
- 51:41Speaker 1: what he's done this year to keep that team going
- 51:44Speaker 1: and jump start them. Uh, Sirianni and Philly obviously would
- 51:48Speaker 1: have an argument, just to name a few others. But
- 51:51Speaker 1: Doug Peterson's right there, Pete, and what would it mean
- 51:54Speaker 1: if he were to pull it off and get this
- 51:56Speaker 1: organization in year one to the division title. He's in
- 52:02Speaker 1: the conversation. I mean, I look like I said, I
- 52:05Speaker 1: have a vote, and I will strongly consider Doug Peterson.
- 52:10Speaker 1: I think you're Peter. I think you're an idiot if
- 52:13Speaker 1: you don't vote for him. Well, and here's why I
- 52:15Speaker 1: might vote for him. And again there's good cases to
- 52:17Speaker 1: be made. Brian Dables in the conversation too. How do
- 52:23Speaker 1: you win a division title? Though? That's the difference. How
- 52:25Speaker 1: many teams, how many teams have the number one overall
- 52:28Speaker 1: picked the last two years. Right, We're a complete disaster.
- 52:32Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm probably, I'm leaning in that direction.
- 52:35Speaker 1: You don't have to convince me done this year. If
- 52:39Speaker 1: they win, which they will, because I've already locked it. Um,
- 52:43Speaker 1: if they win and they win the division, it's the
- 52:45Speaker 1: best coaching job in the NFL. It's just this and
- 52:48Speaker 1: he and let's also factor in he had to get
- 52:53Speaker 1: rid of the ghost of the moron when he got here,
- 52:56Speaker 1: and all the bad habits and all the poor coaching
- 52:59Speaker 1: and all the terrible decisions that idiot made. That's why. Yeah,
- 53:03Speaker 1: I mean no, Look, I get it, Tony, I get it.
- 53:05Speaker 1: You can make you can make a strong case. Who's
- 53:08Speaker 1: in the conversation. Let's think about it. It's him Dable,
- 53:12Speaker 1: who's done an outstanding job. By the way, with what
- 53:14Speaker 1: he's done with Daniel Jones has been amazing, and they
- 53:17Speaker 1: fought through a ton of injuries all year, Sirianni, But
- 53:23Speaker 1: I think I really believe that it's probably. You can
- 53:26Speaker 1: make a strong case for for Doug to win it.
- 53:29Speaker 1: I would have one other I put up there is
- 53:31Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan three quarterbacks. Yeah, but if if he at
- 53:36Speaker 1: the number one seed, you would definitely say he would
- 53:39Speaker 1: get it. But yeah, you can make a case for
- 53:41Speaker 1: Kyle Shannon and you mentioned Dan Campbell if they somehow
- 53:44Speaker 1: got in the postseason. Yeah, hey, when does the voting
- 53:47Speaker 1: happen on that, Pete? When did they actually announced that awards?
- 53:52Speaker 1: I think we got a vote on it by early
- 53:54Speaker 1: next week. I think. Okay, so it's a regular season award.
- 53:57Speaker 1: It has nothing to do with the playoffs, right know, No,
- 54:00Speaker 1: it's voted on before that. Interesting, Yeah, he's right there,
- 54:04Speaker 1: just like the m VP has voted on before. It's
- 54:07Speaker 1: after the regular season concludes. But it's all voted on
- 54:09Speaker 1: before that. But if they get in and win the division,
- 54:12Speaker 1: that's another thing he has over the table would be
- 54:14Speaker 1: a wild card team. Campbell would be a wild card team.
- 54:18Speaker 1: Now he's bet he would benefit from playing in a
- 54:20Speaker 1: division that's garbage. I mean, let's be real. Yeah, it's
- 54:24Speaker 1: not a good division. But the bottom line is this
- 54:26Speaker 1: team had the first overall pick. It is now playing
- 54:28Speaker 1: for the division title. I don't care what division you're in.
- 54:31Speaker 1: It's hard. It's a young it's one of the youngest
- 54:33Speaker 1: teams in the NFL, and he had to clean up
- 54:35Speaker 1: the mess that was left to him by Urban Meyer.
- 54:37Speaker 1: It's a hell of a job. And to me, if
- 54:40Speaker 1: he for me, if he wins this game, if his
- 54:43Speaker 1: team wins this game coming up this Saturday night, he
- 54:46Speaker 1: is the coach of the year. He deserves it. Uh
- 54:49Speaker 1: And you know what, you're probably right. I probably for
- 54:51Speaker 1: him and he and again you know how I felt
- 54:54Speaker 1: about the last guy. That guy was a total disaster.
- 54:56Speaker 1: And if you won seven games on the heels of
- 54:59Speaker 1: that moron, then you definitely would be in consideration when
- 55:02Speaker 1: being a division title on the heels of that. That's special.
- 55:07Speaker 1: He's the worst coach in the history of the league.
- 55:09Speaker 1: You can't even there's no denying he's the worst coach
- 55:12Speaker 1: in the history of the NFL. We're future focused, Pete.
- 55:17Speaker 1: We're moving forward. There's a division title on the line
- 55:19Speaker 1: this week, by the way, But that's you gotta be.
- 55:22Speaker 1: Sometimes you have to look back to prop up the
- 55:23Speaker 1: guy who's doing the job right now. And you have to.
- 55:26Speaker 1: But the Jaguars have never had a Coach of the Year,
- 55:28Speaker 1: have they? Tom never won it? Did he? No? No wow?
- 55:35Speaker 1: To be breaking new ground again, another streak snapped. They've
- 55:38Speaker 1: been It's been a season of street and I'm trying
- 55:40Speaker 1: to think who won in nineties six. He could have
- 55:42Speaker 1: been No, I think dom Capers. Remember they were twelve
- 55:46Speaker 1: and four. That's right. Yeah, he wouldn't have one coaching
- 55:49Speaker 1: here because it was a wild card team. Right. Oh, yeah,
- 55:55Speaker 1: that makes sense because they came out of nowhere. Yeah,
- 55:59Speaker 1: that's right. The whole deal. Tom never won it. Wow.
- 56:02Speaker 1: They never went in New York because he was a
- 56:04Speaker 1: wild card team in those spots too. They barely snuck
- 56:08Speaker 1: in the playoffs those years and then went on runs
- 56:10Speaker 1: and that unbelievable plays in big That's something I wanted
- 56:13Speaker 1: to bring up with you guys speaking to that. Somebody
- 56:18Speaker 1: always every year goes on a run that you don't
- 56:23Speaker 1: see it coming. The Bengals were that team last year.
- 56:26Speaker 1: They're going to run look around the a f C
- 56:30Speaker 1: in the inn of sy and you tell me where
- 56:33Speaker 1: is a team that can go on a run that
- 56:35Speaker 1: nobody's really talking about. Is Jacksonville that team? Right? Listen?
- 56:40Speaker 1: If they after they win this week and they get in,
- 56:44Speaker 1: they're a dangerous team now that they'll probably play the
- 56:47Speaker 1: Chargers because you think the right now or the who's
- 56:51Speaker 1: the head? The Ravens are the Chargers right now. The
- 56:54Speaker 1: Chargers are currently the five seed at the moment, right
- 56:58Speaker 1: and so I think the Bengals will beat the raven
- 57:00Speaker 1: Is next week, and so that would put the Ravens
- 57:03Speaker 1: in the sixth spot and the Chargers in the five.
- 57:06Speaker 1: So but but look, I watched the Chargers. Look there's
- 57:09Speaker 1: still some problems with that team. They do have Bosa
- 57:12Speaker 1: back though, and that matters. Oh, it'll be a tough listen,
- 57:15Speaker 1: it's a tough game. They're playing their healthy Keendan Allen's
- 57:18Speaker 1: out there. I mean, Mike Williams, Ekeler. They can spend
- 57:21Speaker 1: it a quarterback and throw it tough, but you know what,
- 57:25Speaker 1: you beat him once, go beat him again. Ribs are
- 57:28Speaker 1: now though, that's the trick to Yeah, let's just say,
- 57:30Speaker 1: let's just say this they win, To say they beat
- 57:33Speaker 1: the Chargers. Can they go on a run? They're gonna
- 57:36Speaker 1: have to go on the road. Are they capable? Is
- 57:38Speaker 1: that team as is capable of beating a Buffalo, a
- 57:42Speaker 1: Cincinnati or Kansas City on the road, because that's the run.
- 57:47Speaker 1: We've seen the Kansa the Kansas City thing already this year.
- 57:51Speaker 1: I think they are capable. They'd be obviously big underdogs
- 57:54Speaker 1: but yes, they're capable. Yeah, the Kansas City game was
- 57:58Speaker 1: not a good game for them. Remember that guys are
- 58:04Speaker 1: run wide open on him. Yeah, I just think I
- 58:08Speaker 1: don't know if they're ready for the run yet. But again,
- 58:11Speaker 1: every year there's a team. Heck, in nineties six, nobody
- 58:14Speaker 1: thought your team was going on a run. When Tom's
- 58:16Speaker 1: Giants wanted, nobody thought they were going on the run.
- 58:19Speaker 1: When Rodgers wont it to one remember the one year
- 58:21Speaker 1: he wanted, he barely got in and went on a run.
- 58:24Speaker 1: If your quarterback gets hot and you can all a
- 58:26Speaker 1: bounce your way in, the defense plays well, you get
- 58:28Speaker 1: a chance to win it. Because of the the NFC
- 58:31Speaker 1: s can any of those bottom teams in the NFC
- 58:33Speaker 1: make a run? Dallas? Can Dallas make a run? I
- 58:37Speaker 1: think Dallas is gonna lose Tampa to Tampa. I think
- 58:44Speaker 1: that the team that can make a run the NFC
- 58:47Speaker 1: is Tampa just because they have Brady, they have weapons outside.
- 58:50Speaker 1: What about the Giants mhm, No, because they're the six
- 58:56Speaker 1: and the seventh, three Bacon they get in all they're
- 59:00Speaker 1: getting hot and getting confident, yeah, and cocky and getting
- 59:06Speaker 1: talking trash and yeah, I mean they limited Jeffers in
- 59:10Speaker 1: the one catch on Sunday. So but but but I
- 59:13Speaker 1: think from Jacksonville standpoint, you gotta get in, win and
- 59:16Speaker 1: get in, which I think they'll do, and then whatever
- 59:18Speaker 1: you get after that is pure gravy. And take a
- 59:20Speaker 1: week by week. If you beat the Chargers, they go
- 59:23Speaker 1: try you know what, nobody will give you a chance, dude,
- 59:25Speaker 1: like you guys did. That's right, Well, that's the beauty.
- 59:28Speaker 1: That's why I playoff football is so fun because nothing
- 59:31Speaker 1: matters but that game. You don't worry about tape, you
- 59:33Speaker 1: don't worry about who you're playing next, you don't worry
- 59:35Speaker 1: about last week. It does not matter. It's like it's
- 59:38Speaker 1: the ultimate competition because you go out there and are
- 59:41Speaker 1: competing every play for every inch of that field. And
- 59:45Speaker 1: that's what's so fun about it. Well, the year they
- 59:47Speaker 1: made the run in in in two thousand and seventeen,
- 59:50Speaker 1: they weren't given a shot to make any run there,
- 59:52Speaker 1: right they what what what was the what was the progression?
- 59:55Speaker 1: And that it was win at home against Buffalo the
- 59:58Speaker 1: Buffalo game they were big favorites, terrible team. And then
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: win at Pittsburgh, uh and then and then win in
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: New England, which they probably should have won that game. So,
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: and they weren't better than than New England. They were
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: not a better team in New England. So so that's
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: how you gotta. You get on a roll and if
- 1:00:18Speaker 1: the roles, you know, sometimes you just get hot, it's
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: and you stay hot. You guys did it in nineties
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: six and we've we've seen many a team do it.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: So that's what they gotta They gotta start center. I
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: still think you'd rather play the Ravens than the Chargers.
- 1:00:32Speaker 1: I mean, but you can't choose, you know, it's it's
- 1:00:36Speaker 1: whoever shows up player, whoever shows up. I mean, I'm
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: with Pete. I'd rather play the Ravens right now because
- 1:00:42Speaker 1: we had quarterback issues. But if it's the Chargers, so
- 1:00:45Speaker 1: be Itham. And here's the other thing. If it's the
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Chargers and you play Saturday and they play Sunday, and
- 1:00:52Speaker 1: they gotta travel along trip to go play an early game,
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: big advantage for Jacksonville in that scenario. It's more of
- 1:00:59Speaker 1: an advantage if you play the Ravens in terms of
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: the travel and the logistics and everything else. All right, guys,
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: we'll take a time out and we'll come back, and
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: it's time to keep it real when we return, and
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: it's about the run defense for the Jaguars, and we've
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: already kind of touched on that. We'll dig a little
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: deeper into it coming up for of course on Tintin

- 1:02:00Speaker 1: or you just have to trust your process and what
- 1:02:02Speaker 1: got us here, you know. And I think we've gotten
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: in a pretty good groove of just the way we prepare,
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: the way we get ready for these games. You see.
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: It's been paying off for us the past month and
- 1:02:11Speaker 1: a half. So we just gotta trust that you can't
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: try to do a bunch of things new just because
- 1:02:15Speaker 1: you're in a position where it's a must win, you know,
- 1:02:17Speaker 1: to get in. You know, for us, it's it's the
- 1:02:19Speaker 1: same as any other game, you know. That's that's kind
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: of been our mindset the past two months. So for us,
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: we just gotta continue to do what we've been doing.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: Prepare the same way, um, have a great week of
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: prep and put ourselves in position to win on on
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Sunday or whatever whenever the game is gonna be well
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: the game. Since then, half of Post Game, of course
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: has been announced as an eight fifteen Saturday kickoff. That's

- 1:02:58Speaker 1: up a winner today, Real and Greedy It's Award winning
- 1:03:00Speaker 1: line by Robert Mundavi. Pete, how was your How was
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: your bottle for Christmas? That Tony sent you? Good? Did
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: he get you? Guys? Get the ones I sent you?
- 1:03:12Speaker 1: Used have been lost to Yah. Do you think do
- 1:03:15Speaker 1: you think Robert's ever going to send us some? We've
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: been begging for about four years now, mean we were
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: three years. I mean nothing. I'm giving up, Pete. I
- 1:03:25Speaker 1: don't even ask anymore. Yeah, I'm about to. I mean,
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: I've called him Bob, I've done every trick in the
- 1:03:30Speaker 1: book and it's nothing. Nothing gives us. I don't know,
- 1:03:33Speaker 1: nothing triggered. He's a pison too. He shouldn't be sending
- 1:03:37Speaker 1: us some Tony. I mean, I can see if he
- 1:03:38Speaker 1: doesn't send JP any. Yeah, I'm out. I'm not in
- 1:03:41Speaker 1: the club. I would oh well, I mean, hey, the
- 1:03:47Speaker 1: topic today, by the way, is how does the front
- 1:03:50Speaker 1: seven handle Derrick Henry? At halftime last time out fourteen
- 1:03:53Speaker 1: carries a hundred nineteen yards and a touchdown. He had
- 1:03:57Speaker 1: three carries two yards in the second half the game.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: Circums dances had a lot to do with that. He
- 1:04:02Speaker 1: also had three catches for thirty four yards. You've flirted
- 1:04:06Speaker 1: with this earlier, Pete, But I don't know how serious
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: you worry about the defensive alignment this week? But what
- 1:04:11Speaker 1: do you do against Derrick Henry? Why not? Why not?
- 1:04:18Speaker 1: It's it's Basically, you're you know, when you use that
- 1:04:22Speaker 1: six to defense, you're telling your defensive lineman to dive
- 1:04:26Speaker 1: and let the linebackers flow to the football, make the plays,
- 1:04:29Speaker 1: get in his legs. If you get his legs, you're
- 1:04:32Speaker 1: gonna have a chance to limit him. And because once
- 1:04:35Speaker 1: he gets going, it's tough. So penetration rules the nation.
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: I mean, that's what you gotta do. You gotta penetrate. Well,
- 1:04:42Speaker 1: if you think you have a new slogan, is that
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: gonna be on the wall in the hallway later? How
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: about that penetrate? You've never heard that. The defensive lineman
- 1:04:55Speaker 1: used to say it all the time. That's where I
- 1:04:57Speaker 1: heard it. Yes, miss you, I'm gonna leave I'm gonna
- 1:05:05Speaker 1: leave that alone because I think Pete made that up.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: Um I didn't. I swear to you, I did not
- 1:05:09Speaker 1: make that up. Here's the thing, Jake, it's not that
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: he had a hundred nineteen at half. He had ninety
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: four in the first quarter. And this tag Wars defense
- 1:05:18Speaker 1: got fortunate. I don't want to say fortunate because they
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: created him, but they got turnovers three turnovers, and if
- 1:05:24Speaker 1: you look at that first half, we were down fourteen
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: thirteen going into halftime with three turnovers, and so you
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: know you gotta you better be aware and you can't
- 1:05:34Speaker 1: take this game lightly. I don't care who's playing for them,
- 1:05:36Speaker 1: as long as they have Derrick Henry and Pete right.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: You didn't need to get penetration. You need to stop
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: him before he gets going. I expect them last time
- 1:05:43Speaker 1: they played a five man front with three linebackers and
- 1:05:46Speaker 1: only three dbs. Quite a bit um to stop Derrick Henry,
- 1:05:49Speaker 1: and I think it's something similar to that. And you're looking,
- 1:05:52Speaker 1: if you're watching right now, you just saw Roy Robinson
- 1:05:54Speaker 1: Harris make a big play. Roy Robinson Harris fought a
- 1:05:57Speaker 1: cosy in Hamilton. Have to have huge days. They gotta
- 1:05:59Speaker 1: dominate those smaller offensive lineman. The penetration there, the muck
- 1:06:03Speaker 1: things up, and don't let Derrick Henry get to the
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: next level because when he does, he is a beast.
- 1:06:09Speaker 1: And when he doesn't, he tends to get frustrated. He
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: starts bouncing it. And one thing you want is a
- 1:06:16Speaker 1: bouncing guy. You want him bouncing because when he bounces,
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: I don't think he's the same runner. When there's a
- 1:06:20Speaker 1: little cracker increase and he gets through that first crack
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: and gets that big two fifty pounds going. That's tough
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: to stop. So I think I think they gotta do
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: something like Hey six who stack monster? Hey it worked
- 1:06:34Speaker 1: for and pipe Um, something along those lines, Tonty, though
- 1:06:44Speaker 1: maybe not exactly to that extreme, but you know what
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: I'm talking about. I mean when they played five five
- 1:06:49Speaker 1: front and three linebackers, that's basically what they're doing. Should
- 1:06:52Speaker 1: we go ruin one of the defensive linement's uh car
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: before in the week and so he gets all excited
- 1:06:57Speaker 1: like uh that was in um Fast Times at Ridgemont.
- 1:07:02Speaker 1: He's mixed up. But you know what I'm talking about.
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: What was that guy's name? Yeah, it was what it
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: was played by Forest Whittaker. I forget what his character
- 1:07:11Speaker 1: name was. Hey, but JT you remember do you remember
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: all the right moves? Do you remember remember that too?
- 1:07:17Speaker 1: I was just I was thinking of the I remember
- 1:07:19Speaker 1: that as well. But Fast Time Richmond remember but remember
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: the whole gist of that was that the cornerback Tom
- 1:07:26Speaker 1: Cruise was going to get his scholarship, was recruiting that
- 1:07:28Speaker 1: little kid to play corner. But you know, that's the
- 1:07:35Speaker 1: second time I've referenced that because do you remember what
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: was it the play from there where they handed off
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: and they fumbled the snap. It was in Buffalo, remember
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: Buffalo earlier this year against the Vikings. They all they
- 1:07:48Speaker 1: had to do, was they all they was good the
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: quarterback sneak And that happened in that game too. They
- 1:07:54Speaker 1: fumbled to snap and all I had to do was
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: take a knee. So look you go back and again
- 1:07:58Speaker 1: sick stack mom stare some along those lines, use something. Well,
- 1:08:03Speaker 1: well we'll get creative this week. Well you got creative
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: last time they played Pete. He had a bunch of
- 1:08:09Speaker 1: different looks. He had three linebackers and you know, actually
- 1:08:12Speaker 1: five linebackers, three difference linement. At times he brought in
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: big nickel with uh with the Dewey came in as
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: the big nickel at times. And so I think you're
- 1:08:21Speaker 1: gonna see guys out there who can stop the run,
- 1:08:24Speaker 1: and they're gonna say if Josh Dobbins can be, you
- 1:08:26Speaker 1: beat us, and so be it. But you cannot creative
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: on Sunday with some of their looks on Sunday, I
- 1:08:31Speaker 1: thought they had Lloyd outside playing like a rush drop out,
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: and he had. But I wanted to ask you what
- 1:08:37Speaker 1: do you think of the linebackers the other day? A
- 1:08:40Speaker 1: little Khan was solid, was always did a good job.
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: I think move was better than Lloyd right now, but
- 1:08:46Speaker 1: Lloyd Lloyd played better though, he was better than he's
- 1:08:49Speaker 1: been and I can trust Movement better covered everything else.
- 1:08:54Speaker 1: And there were times when they were all on the
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: they were both on the field together a lot. And
- 1:08:59Speaker 1: look they're both gonna have to play on Sunday to
- 1:09:02Speaker 1: tackle that guy. That's exactly right that I think you
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: have that three inside linebacker, look, two outside guys, the
- 1:09:07Speaker 1: three big guys and just chim you know, dare Mike
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: Rabel in that Tennessee Titan offense to throw the ball?
- 1:09:16Speaker 1: That was keeping it real? Presented by Woodbridge by Robert

- 1:09:52Speaker 1: a Jaguars win in Houston, snapping a nine game skit
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: against the Texans. The season of streaks continues the Jaguars
- 1:10:01Speaker 1: and now trying to win a division title in Week
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: eighteen against the Tennessee Titans. Coming up J P. Shadrick
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: with Tony Wasselli and Pete Prisco in time for the
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: Fanatics fan questions. Jaguars fans are gearing up and saving
- 1:10:14Speaker 1: big at fanatics dot com shop today and rep here.
- 1:10:17Speaker 1: Jack's here on game day and every day. Fanatics dot
- 1:10:21Speaker 1: Com officially licensed everything. Well. We put the cat signal
- 1:10:25Speaker 1: out earlier today on Twitter. Here's the best we've come
- 1:10:28Speaker 1: up with on this Monday. Question one from at M
- 1:10:33Speaker 1: Harris to to four hundred. Josh Allen has been back
- 1:10:36Speaker 1: to his normal self and playing better recently. Is there
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: anything you've noticed to explain why he is successful now
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: versus the middle of the season. Yeah, to me, it
- 1:10:46Speaker 1: looks like he has more What I said, in the
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: middle of the season looked like he was banged up,
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: not was playing with some sort of injury. It was
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: never reported and so we don't know that for sure,
- 1:10:57Speaker 1: but just watching the tape and watching how he ways, Pete,
- 1:11:00Speaker 1: you talked about the suddenness. I think that's there. But
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: to me, that jumps out more than anything is the power,
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: the speed to power that he has and he's pushing
- 1:11:07Speaker 1: guys around and setting up the rush. Yeah, and it
- 1:11:10Speaker 1: had to be some kind of issue with him because
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: he's played differently the last three weeks, much more explosive,
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: much more powerful, like you said, much more dominant. The
- 1:11:20Speaker 1: guy ain't thought they had. I mean that's isn't that
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: who you thought they had all year? Yeah, that's why
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: I thought going into the season he had twelve the
- 1:11:28Speaker 1: fifteen sacks? What is he at now? J T? Six?
- 1:11:33Speaker 1: So I mean, you know, maybe get maybe he can
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: get six this game and kind of meet my expectation.
- 1:11:40Speaker 1: He's leading the team though it's six, right, Yes, that's
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: not good. No, Well, Smooth had five and he's gone. Right,
- 1:11:48Speaker 1: but read the read the list of sackers down you
- 1:11:51Speaker 1: listen at six five? What what does Walker have? Four?
- 1:11:54Speaker 1: Hasn't he had four for like forever? Yeah? It's um,
- 1:11:57Speaker 1: it's not ideal. I'll say that for the Jaguars this
- 1:12:00Speaker 1: year in the sack category. But it's Alan six to
- 1:12:05Speaker 1: un Swoop five, are and Key four and a half,
- 1:12:07Speaker 1: Trayvon Walker three and a half, Divona Hamilton's two and
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: a half are our Age with two not good enough.
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: That's something that needs to be fixed next Yeah, I mean, Pete,
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: there's still not They're not a great They're not a
- 1:12:20Speaker 1: good pass rushing team. I mean that has not changed.
- 1:12:23Speaker 1: And you know, if we look ahead, that could come
- 1:12:26Speaker 1: back to bite them in the playoffs if you go
- 1:12:28Speaker 1: face that. You know, you look at the quarterbacks at
- 1:12:30Speaker 1: the top, whether it's Alan or Mahomes or Borrow or
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: if you play Herbert in the first round. If you
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: don't affect the quarterback with those guys are gonna kill you.
- 1:12:40Speaker 1: But I think they, like we've talked about, they are
- 1:12:42Speaker 1: better when keys on the field rushing from that outside
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: spot as well, and where Chason came from Sunday, who
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: knows that was his best game. That was the best.
- 1:12:51Speaker 1: That was the most power I've ever seen in play
- 1:12:53Speaker 1: with And we had a couple of rushes from both
- 1:12:57Speaker 1: sides too. That was the interesting thing about it. It
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: was good. He was happy to be back on the field.
- 1:13:02Speaker 1: I mean he missed a lot of time this year
- 1:13:04Speaker 1: and then has come back and has done special team
- 1:13:07Speaker 1: work almost exclusively until the last couple of weeks. So
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: he'll get that chance again this week. Let's go to
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: the next question. Social media, Twitter Today, fanatics, fan questions
- 1:13:17Speaker 1: at Trevorville. I don't think I heard Pete go over
- 1:13:20Speaker 1: six or seven wins for the season for the Jaguars. Correct, Also,
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: please talk about the difference Doug is brought to this team, leadership,
- 1:13:27Speaker 1: play calling, and playoff experience, to name a few. And
- 1:13:29Speaker 1: how soon can we extend Doug ep al? Right? I
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: think he had to hold off on the extension one year. Happy,
- 1:13:39Speaker 1: that's all well and good. It's one year as far
- 1:13:42Speaker 1: as as far as me. Yeah, I picked what I say.
- 1:13:45Speaker 1: It was between five and seven is what I picked.
- 1:13:47Speaker 1: I think one that Tony and you said between six
- 1:13:49Speaker 1: and eight, right, I said you said five and seven,
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: I said seven and nine. We did I ingested mine
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: after the five game wins, losing Street six to eight.
- 1:14:00Speaker 1: You were six to eight from the start, No, seven
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: to nine, starting the season off seven to nine? Well,
- 1:14:06Speaker 1: I I started off five to seven, and I was wrong,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: and I could admit I'm wrong. And when I did
- 1:14:12Speaker 1: my hit from there when I was in for training camp,
- 1:14:14Speaker 1: Rick Spielman, it was working with me, picked him the
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: win eight. So he's pretty close, pretty close, pretty close. Indeed,
- 1:14:23Speaker 1: let's go to the next question social media. Of course
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: he said they would be five d one. Oh god,
- 1:14:30Speaker 1: well that would get him in the that would that's
- 1:14:33Speaker 1: possible division championship if that's the case with a tie
- 1:14:36Speaker 1: this week. Al right, next question social media at Portals Nation.
- 1:14:42Speaker 1: Who is the most important defender on the team to
- 1:14:44Speaker 1: keep Derrick Henry from running loose. We've gone over this
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: a couple of times, and Tony, you've mentioned those guys
- 1:14:49Speaker 1: on the interior a lot tonight. Yeah, I think you see,
- 1:14:52Speaker 1: you're important. And after that quarterback of that defense, because
- 1:14:58Speaker 1: everyone locked up with Gene, I think it's Hambleton's you
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: don't get the don't let the guards get to the
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: second level. If they don't, they don't get to the
- 1:15:10Speaker 1: second level, and they're not good guards. But if they
- 1:15:13Speaker 1: don't get to the second level, that allows the linebackers
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: to go darting in there and penetrate and make the tackles.
- 1:15:17Speaker 1: So I think, I think and by the way Hamilton's
- 1:15:20Speaker 1: quietly played well in the last month of this season. Two, Yeah,
- 1:15:23Speaker 1: I think I think he's played pretty well. Yeah, better,
- 1:15:27Speaker 1: much better than he did a year ago. Yes, next question,
- 1:15:31Speaker 1: Twitter a buzz today holiday New Year's Day observed today?
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: And are the l A Chargers This is from ant
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: Let's go, JJ's let's go. Are the l A Chargers
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: the worst possible matchup for the Jags in the wild
- 1:15:46Speaker 1: card round? How far do you think we can go
- 1:15:48Speaker 1: in the playoffs? I would say yes, And how far
- 1:15:55Speaker 1: can they go? They can win that game and then
- 1:15:58Speaker 1: I I don't see them beating a Buffalo or Cincinnati
- 1:16:03Speaker 1: or Kansas City on the road because of that pass rush,
- 1:16:06Speaker 1: but you never know. Yeah, I mean how far? I
- 1:16:09Speaker 1: agree with Pete. I think San Diego or not sane
- 1:16:12Speaker 1: excuse me, Los Angeles Chargers are the worst matchup in
- 1:16:15Speaker 1: the wild card round? Um, how far can you go?
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: You know? Playoffs are crazy. If you get hot, your
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing well, you get some turnovers, the ball to
- 1:16:24Speaker 1: bounce your way, you can go as far as Look
- 1:16:26Speaker 1: at the Bengals last year. No one picked them to
- 1:16:28Speaker 1: be really a drive away from winning the whole thing,
- 1:16:32Speaker 1: and so they could go as far as to some
- 1:16:37Speaker 1: or Phoenix. I guess not to some Phoenix. Um. But
- 1:16:41Speaker 1: the key is you gotta go win Saturday night first
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: and foremost, and then the Charges are a tough matchup.
- 1:16:46Speaker 1: But every every team in the playoffs is a tough matchup.
- 1:16:49Speaker 1: I mean, there's no easy game. Well it's it's just
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: like this. Those teams are tough matchups for Jacksonville. But Jacksonville,
- 1:16:57Speaker 1: the way they play on offense is also tough matchups
- 1:16:59Speaker 1: for them, absolutely because they can score two. I mean,
- 1:17:02Speaker 1: you look at it. Look at the quarterbacks in the
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: a f C. If it plays out, it'll be it'll
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: be Mahomes, Alan Borrow, Herbert Lawrence. That's that's five of
- 1:17:12Speaker 1: them right there. That's and then Lamar Lamar's l I
- 1:17:15Speaker 1: mean he's m v P once upon a time, different style,
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: but he's still m v P quarterback. And then seven
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: who knows, but that's pretty amazing when you think about
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: that quarter that's they might be the you know, the
- 1:17:29Speaker 1: top quarterbacks in the league next year, that grouping, I
- 1:17:34Speaker 1: would say, so, I mean who from the NFC would
- 1:17:36Speaker 1: you put in there? Well, Hurts the way he's played,
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: he plays differently, but he's played at the m v
- 1:17:41Speaker 1: P Rogers when he's right. I mean, don't you get
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: the idea that people in the NFC, he're sitting there
- 1:17:49Speaker 1: going go Lions don't want to see don't want to
- 1:17:51Speaker 1: see Rogers in the postseason. Well, not the way that
- 1:17:54Speaker 1: teams playing Pete and defensively they're playing well too, right,
- 1:17:58Speaker 1: you don't want to see him? Next question social media?
- 1:18:03Speaker 1: Four down, four to go, and this is that Jay
- 1:18:06Speaker 1: underscore Cordell. The narrative seems to be about how bad
- 1:18:09Speaker 1: the teams are that we're playing. How confident are you
- 1:18:12Speaker 1: that we can play well against teams that are actually good.
- 1:18:16Speaker 1: I played well against the Ravens and Cowboys. Yeah, I don't.
- 1:18:21Speaker 1: I don't think that's the right narrative. And by the way,
- 1:18:24Speaker 1: the Jets, the Jets were smacked up in the middle
- 1:18:26Speaker 1: of the playoff chase when they knocked them off on
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: the road too, So it's not just bad teams that's wrong. Yeah,
- 1:18:33Speaker 1: should have beat the Giants who are playoff team too. Yeah.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: In this little you know, since the break, they've beating
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: two playoff teams. They beat they beat the Cowboys and
- 1:18:43Speaker 1: they beat the Ravens. So their losses are to the Broncos,
- 1:18:47Speaker 1: which is inexcusable. Should have never lost that game to
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: the Giants playoff team, right too, Indie, that should never
- 1:18:56Speaker 1: happened Houston the first time, I never happened. If this
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: team now listen, they got some breaks later in the season.
- 1:19:03Speaker 1: I mean what happened against the Ravens. They gotta break,
- 1:19:06Speaker 1: you know, in overtime and drop ball that turned into
- 1:19:08Speaker 1: the pick sick against the Cowboys. I mean, the ball
- 1:19:10Speaker 1: bounced their way. But of those five when they lost
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: that five in a row, I would argue they should
- 1:19:16Speaker 1: have won four four of those. So you mentioned the
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: five games. Those we mentioned the three games that they
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: lost in the two that they won. So flip them
- 1:19:24Speaker 1: around to three and two instead of two and three,
- 1:19:26Speaker 1: and you're all of a sudden you're divisions over You're in, right,
- 1:19:32Speaker 1: I mean the two that inexcusable, Pete are the Broncos
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: and the Texans, those two and the Colts, well, the Giants,
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: the Giants, they should have won two, the Colts. And
- 1:19:42Speaker 1: then then you really want to go back in time,
- 1:19:44Speaker 1: how about Washington Washington Week one? Oh? Come on, That's
- 1:19:52Speaker 1: why why I think this team is dangerous in the playoffs.
- 1:19:55Speaker 1: They're wait, they're better than their record. Now they gotta
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: go win Saturday. There's I mean, listen, I get ahead
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: of ourselves, but I just think this teem is better
- 1:20:03Speaker 1: than the record. Next question social media Twitter fanatics at
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: Brandon underscore more. Which skill position player on the jaguarris
- 1:20:13Speaker 1: do you think needs to show up big on Saturday
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: night to beat the Titans? All right, starts with Trevor.
- 1:20:19Speaker 1: It's all about Trevor. He plays well, the Titans have
- 1:20:22Speaker 1: no chance zero. It could be fifteen point sixteen point
- 1:20:28Speaker 1: victory as well. And it's the way they spread the
- 1:20:32Speaker 1: wealth around. I mean, you could kind of pick whoever
- 1:20:35Speaker 1: the best matchup is on of wide receiver's side. End,
- 1:20:38Speaker 1: it's gonna be any different. The offense shouldn't look any
- 1:20:40Speaker 1: different than what it looked like when they played him
- 1:20:42Speaker 1: up there. Well, if it's like that, then it's Evan
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Ingram as far as non quarterback skill positions, because he
- 1:20:49Speaker 1: was uncomforable, I mean him, he killed him. They still
- 1:20:53Speaker 1: don't have an answer for him. Hundred sixty yards plus
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: in that game. Forevan Ingram a couple more left social media.
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: Today we're rolling through them here. This is at Senior Flint's.
- 1:21:05Speaker 1: Should we be concerned that the Jags have much less
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: time to rest compared to the Titans, Pete, I know
- 1:21:11Speaker 1: you are, well yeah, I mean it's they They overcame
- 1:21:16Speaker 1: that to beat the Jets on the road though it
- 1:21:18Speaker 1: was a short week and they didn't have more rest,
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: But it was still tough turnaround. When you go on
- 1:21:21Speaker 1: the road. That's a tough situation for young team. But
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: they're young. It's not like there's a bunch of old
- 1:21:26Speaker 1: players on this team. They're a young team. They should
- 1:21:29Speaker 1: be able to handle that. I'd much rather be at
- 1:21:32Speaker 1: home in that game than have the rest, wouldn't you
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: if you were a player. So the fact that you're
- 1:21:39Speaker 1: at home, that saves your day. It gives you one
- 1:21:42Speaker 1: day back. Um, listen, I I don't like that the
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: league and the networks put them on Saturday. I think
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: you know, the NFL talks all the time about you know,
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: competitive balance, you know, blah blah blah blah. Well here's
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: the chance to have competitive balance, and you do the
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: exact opposite. So but you're you're at home, you're the
- 1:22:02Speaker 1: better team, Go win. I mean, who cares like as
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: a player. It's almost like, all right, you want, you
- 1:22:07Speaker 1: want to make it harder for us, We like it.
- 1:22:09Speaker 1: Make it as hard as you want. We're still gonna win,
- 1:22:14Speaker 1: and then you get it. You might have an advantage
- 1:22:16Speaker 1: on the back end to that, right going into the
- 1:22:19Speaker 1: wild card round. Alright, final question social media earlier today
- 1:22:24Speaker 1: and this is at sin Central, Pennsylvania, underscore tax fan.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: Should I buy my tickets flight at hotel for the
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: playoff game now? Or should I have bought them yesterday?
- 1:22:36Speaker 1: Based on ticket demand? I had a body yesterday, So
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: if you're buying them today, it's standing room only, or
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: go find someone who's gonna sell you a good for
- 1:22:44Speaker 1: the playoff game is a little different. There are some
- 1:22:47Speaker 1: seats available for that one, and I'm guess that's after
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: all the free sales and everything. But you would guess
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: once it becomes official then those will fly off the
- 1:22:57Speaker 1: shelf as well. Yeah, buying yesterday, right, Yeah, I mean
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: I think they're gonna there's gonna be a playoff game.
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: The problem with buying all your plane ticket and you
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: think you have no idea when the game is gonna be.
- 1:23:10Speaker 1: I it'll probably be Saturday the first game, like they
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: used to give the text. They give the Texas that
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: spot every year when they got in. Remember they give
- 1:23:19Speaker 1: it to the NFC South, right, So that that we
- 1:23:23Speaker 1: are playing first game Saturday. Did the Titans play the
- 1:23:28Speaker 1: first game last Saturday last year? I don't know if
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: they did, because they were weren't they they were they
- 1:23:33Speaker 1: were the one seed, Yeah they were, and to buy
- 1:23:37Speaker 1: so they did, right, But every other time the Texans
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: always played that window. Last year they gave it to
- 1:23:43Speaker 1: Cincinnati the early game against the Raiders. That's right, that's right, yeah,
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: Raiders Bengals. Then it was Patriots Bills, there was Eagles Bucks. Yeah,
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: but you can go back and look at that window.
- 1:23:55Speaker 1: It's always a small market team no matter what. That's right,
- 1:24:00Speaker 1: All right. Social questions are in from fanatics. Thanks for
- 1:24:03Speaker 1: all the submissions today and the interaction on Twitter. And
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: we're back in a moment with a look around the NFL,
- 1:24:09Speaker 1: the wild card and the playoff pictures are coming into
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: focus with one week to go, some big games coming
- 1:24:16Speaker 1: up this week in the NFL. And this is Jaguars
- 1:24:19Speaker 1: Happy Hour on the Jaguars Digital Network. It should be electric,
- 1:24:28Speaker 1: it should be I mean, we're playing for the FC South,
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: you know, and and um, uh you know we need
- 1:24:33Speaker 1: we need all our fans they can get there and
- 1:24:35Speaker 1: get there, and and uh it's gonna be a great
- 1:24:37Speaker 1: atmosphere and um a guy who will feed off of
- 1:24:40Speaker 1: that energy, and uh it would be fun to be
- 1:24:42Speaker 1: fun with the coach and playing. That's Doug Peterson discussing
- 1:24:46Speaker 1: the game coming up this week. We gave team the
- 1:24:48Speaker 1: Jaguars entertained the Tennessee Titans winner take all for the
- 1:24:52Speaker 1: a f C South Crown in two. A tie would
- 1:24:55Speaker 1: go to the Jaguars, but the loser would possibly go home.
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: Tennessee is definitely out if they lose, they have no
- 1:25:02Speaker 1: chance in the wild card. The Jaguars have a backdoor opportunity.
- 1:25:05Speaker 1: They need three other things that happen in week eighteen
- 1:25:08Speaker 1: on Sunday to make that work. Just to win the game,
- 1:25:11Speaker 1: how about that should be as atmosphere on Saturday night.
- 1:25:15Speaker 1: Guess by the way they were a JP they will
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: be playing at Saturday at at first game. I went
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: back and look, since two thousand and ten, the an
- 1:25:24Speaker 1: an f C South team has played the first game
- 1:25:26Speaker 1: every single year other than one, and that one year
- 1:25:31Speaker 1: was when the Carolina Panthers were seven eight and one
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: and one division. Wow, how about that? There's no doubt.
- 1:25:40Speaker 1: There's no doubt they will be playing in that opening window. Well,
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: it's all driven by the networks. They want, you know,
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: the bigger games in prime time. You can you can
- 1:25:52Speaker 1: pretty much figure out Dallas and Tampa Bay will be
- 1:25:55Speaker 1: in prime time. Ye guarantee. I mean that that's to
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: give it. You don't forget there's a Sunday Saturday night,
- 1:26:02Speaker 1: of a Sunday night and a Monday night. I don't
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: understand the Monday night, you know, given everyone a short week,
- 1:26:10Speaker 1: it makes no sense to me. I mean, it's TV, right,
- 1:26:14Speaker 1: they paid for It's right. All about the dollars. Sunday
- 1:26:19Speaker 1: night or a Monday night already had to play. They
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: can't make you play on a Saturday, No, I think.
- 1:26:23Speaker 1: I think the Monday nights guaranteed to play Sunday. So
- 1:26:27Speaker 1: but still, if there's three primetime games, one of them
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: will be Dallas and Tampa I want to be. If
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: Green tickets and want to be Green Bay Giants could
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: be too, New York and you know it's yeah, the
- 1:26:43Speaker 1: Giants could be. But you think about if you spend
- 1:26:45Speaker 1: it forward Who's who would be in the a f C.
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: Who will be the sixty? Will be the Ravens at
- 1:26:50Speaker 1: the three seeds? Again prime time? Come on, Well, now
- 1:27:00Speaker 1: here's the deal. If if Cincinnati wins the night, he'll
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: be the two seed. If if they win next week, yeah,
- 1:27:11Speaker 1: if they win the next towed right right right? They
- 1:27:15Speaker 1: if they close to the division with a win tonight,
- 1:27:17Speaker 1: and then they would move up to the two seed
- 1:27:20Speaker 1: with a win next week. Well, Denver, Denver is not?
- 1:27:22Speaker 1: I mean, Kansas City's not losing the yard Stidham next week? Heldo?
- 1:27:26Speaker 1: How about him? Lightened it up? Well, Davante Adams lit
- 1:27:31Speaker 1: it up, but yeah he did. He played well yesterday.
- 1:27:34Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the NFC playoff fixture through
- 1:27:38Speaker 1: week seventeen. Of course, tonight's Monday night game. We'll get
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: to at a moment. It's in the a f C.
- 1:27:42Speaker 1: Eagles thirteen and three. They dropped a couple of Gardner
- 1:27:45Speaker 1: Minshew's the play in the quarterback position. Now Vikings twelve
- 1:27:50Speaker 1: and four, the Niners twelve. Who's that Gardner Minshew? Bad bucket?
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: Here's are eight and eight. They inch to the Vision
- 1:28:00Speaker 1: with a wind on the wild card. The Cowboys twelve
- 1:28:04Speaker 1: and four, they still have a chance from the number
- 1:28:06Speaker 1: one seed. How does that work? And then the Giants
- 1:28:09Speaker 1: nine six and one and the Seahawks eight and eight.
- 1:28:11Speaker 1: Right now, Lions and Packers still in it. If the
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: Packers win next week, they go they are in the
- 1:28:16Speaker 1: wild card spot. Here. If the Giants beat the Eagles,
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: the Vikings lost to the Bears, and the forty niners
- 1:28:25Speaker 1: lost to the Cardinals, which isn't happening, then the Cowboys win,
- 1:28:31Speaker 1: they would be they would be the one seed. It's
- 1:28:34Speaker 1: pretty amazing, actually, Vikings. If the Cowboys win in the
- 1:28:38Speaker 1: Vikings win, the Cowboys have the head and head to
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: their head of them. Unless it's a three way tie,
- 1:28:43Speaker 1: then you throw. You gotta throw the out out and
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: you go a different way. So yeah, if it's the
- 1:28:46Speaker 1: two of them, yes, And the Vikings, by the way,
- 1:28:50Speaker 1: are twelve and four and have a minus nineteen point.
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: It's amazing minus nineteen. They're one and done in the
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: playoffs seed Okay, they're the one team. They just got
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: blown out by the Packers. They don't want to play
- 1:29:03Speaker 1: them again. M hm, Vikings Packers wouldn't be prime time,
- 1:29:10Speaker 1: would it? No? Yeah? Aaron Rodgers. Come on, yeah, Aaron Rodgers,
- 1:29:17Speaker 1: NFC North a f C playoff picture. It's coming into
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: focus as well. Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, Jaguars right now in
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: the number four spot, and then in the wild card
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: the Chargers Ravens are both have spots locked up, and
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: then the Patriots right now are in Dolphins, Steelers are
- 1:29:39Speaker 1: in the wild card hunt. The Titans only in the
- 1:29:41Speaker 1: race in the division they are. They cannot get a
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: wild card spot at all, no matter what happens, the
- 1:29:46Speaker 1: Patriots aren't getting that spot. Think you forget that. They're
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: not being the Bills next week at Buffalo, so they'll
- 1:29:54Speaker 1: be gone out of that spot. You can. We'll Jets
- 1:29:57Speaker 1: beat the Dolphins and have the Dolphins end with like
- 1:29:59Speaker 1: a se game losing street or six game losing streak. Well,
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: you know, it looks like Skylar Thompson might be starting
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: a quarterback for Miami because Teddy Bridgewater broke his finger.
- 1:30:09Speaker 1: So you have a seventh round rookie quarterback starting a
- 1:30:12Speaker 1: game to go win and then your winning streak and
- 1:30:15Speaker 1: go to the postseason. Now, he's actually done some good things,
- 1:30:17Speaker 1: but I wouldn't want That's tough. Two is cleared from
- 1:30:22Speaker 1: concussion protocol this week. I don't think so. I doubt it.
- 1:30:26Speaker 1: So if you have Skyler Thompson playing quarterback, would you
- 1:30:28Speaker 1: pick the Jets or would you pick the Dolphins? I
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: probably probably Jets because their defense. So if the Jets win,
- 1:30:37Speaker 1: then Miami's out. New England loses, get in Steel They're in.
- 1:30:44Speaker 1: So Pittsburgh would play six, would be they would be
- 1:30:46Speaker 1: the seven, They would play the two. Pittsburgh at Buffalo Cincinnati. Whoever.
- 1:30:53Speaker 1: That was a hell of a rally last night, by
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: the way, by them, Hey kid made plays when he
- 1:30:58Speaker 1: had Dude, he's one of those guys, is it seems
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: to have that. That's two weeks in a row he's
- 1:31:02Speaker 1: done that. Yeah. I don't think he meant to throw
- 1:31:05Speaker 1: it to Harris. I think he was throwing it to
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: the receiver and Harris just cut up in front of
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: the receiver for the touch. But the receiver would have
- 1:31:10Speaker 1: caught it too though. I thought, pretty incredible Monday Night football.
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: It's a big battle in the a f C. Josh
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: Allen and the Buffalo Bills at twelve and three, the
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: number two seed at the moment in the playoff race,
- 1:31:23Speaker 1: facing Joe Burrow with the Cincinnati Bengals eleven and four,
- 1:31:26Speaker 1: they are number three. They would win the division with
- 1:31:29Speaker 1: a victory to night. The battle for the number one
- 1:31:32Speaker 1: seed continues. Who you got on the banks of the
- 1:31:35Speaker 1: Ohio River? I got? I got Buffalo. I think they're
- 1:31:40Speaker 1: a better team. I'll take the better court. Do you
- 1:31:43Speaker 1: think Burrows better than Josh Allen? You do? Burrows the
- 1:31:47Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL. Wow, that's a bold statement.
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: I'm gonna take. I'm gonna take uh well, Patrick Mahomes
- 1:31:54Speaker 1: is the best quarterback in the NFL. I'll take the
- 1:31:56Speaker 1: best quarterback in the NFL. Josh Allen. I think Josh
- 1:31:59Speaker 1: Allen as a big day. I think it's high scoring.
- 1:32:02Speaker 1: I think this is gonna be fun. The weather is good,
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: by the way, which is nice. So I hate when
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: weather ruins football games. I see. Yeah, we've had this
- 1:32:09Speaker 1: conversation on this show before. You want every game and
- 1:32:12Speaker 1: a dome, And that's the dumbest idea I've ever heard. No,
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: not every game and a dome. Every game in seventy
- 1:32:17Speaker 1: degree weather. So if you get to have a controlled roof,
- 1:32:20Speaker 1: covered roof or whatever, that's fine. Who needs weather? Who
- 1:32:23Speaker 1: needs weather? Ruining football the games. You don't want it
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: to take away with the game. Game. It's part of
- 1:32:31Speaker 1: the game. When you used to turn and hand the
- 1:32:33Speaker 1: ball off fifty times a game, it's not part of
- 1:32:35Speaker 1: the game anymore, ruins it. No, it does not. It's
- 1:32:38Speaker 1: part of the game. It's part of the toughness. It's
- 1:32:40Speaker 1: far finding ways to win. Did you see, by the way,
- 1:32:44Speaker 1: you appreciate that guys came out with no shirts on
- 1:32:47Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, and I set out a
- 1:32:49Speaker 1: tweet saying that's not toughness, that's stupidity, and people got
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: all over me. It's not the smart That's something I
- 1:32:58Speaker 1: probably would have done. Actually, no, I wouldn't. I wasn't
- 1:33:00Speaker 1: taken my shirt off for national TV. No thanks, I
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: don't would have done that anyway. You didn't wear sleeves,
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: I know that much. Why though, was that just the
- 1:33:10Speaker 1: show that it wasn't bothering you because you didn't like
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: playing at them? I didn't like playing them because I
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: never did. And to me, it was just like it's
- 1:33:18Speaker 1: a mentality thing like go play. I never want to
- 1:33:21Speaker 1: worry about anything but what I had to do, go play.
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: So I wasn't gonna change anything. I was going to
- 1:33:26Speaker 1: change what I wore, like go play was New England
- 1:33:30Speaker 1: and coldest game you played in Cincinnati? Oh Cincinnati, I
- 1:33:35Speaker 1: had left by that, I think, Yeah, okay, but that
- 1:33:40Speaker 1: game in Foxboro was cold at night. Yeah see, I think, say,
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: when you're cold like that, when you're on the field,
- 1:33:48Speaker 1: it doesn't bother you. The first play hurts your hands
- 1:33:51Speaker 1: when first like one or two punches, like your hands
- 1:33:54Speaker 1: are frozen, and then they feel like they just you
- 1:33:57Speaker 1: get used to it. But may you go to the
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: sideline and you're not having problems with it anymore? No,
- 1:34:03Speaker 1: remember remember that game it was cold and then he
- 1:34:07Speaker 1: got really cold when the power went out? Oh, man
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: was and they got really cold when you were chasing
- 1:34:14Speaker 1: down the guy with the fumble. That was the end.
- 1:34:22Speaker 1: How was it? Man? Unbelievable? So, by the way, the
- 1:34:26Speaker 1: weather should be really nice this Saturday night here in
- 1:34:29Speaker 1: Jacksonville for the game at last check and wet it's Monday. Um,
- 1:34:36Speaker 1: this is Saturday. This is well ahead of course, but
- 1:34:39Speaker 1: we're looking at mid the low fifties by kickoff and
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: should be clear win wins. I don't know. It's Monday, Pete,
- 1:34:47Speaker 1: I don't know. About the wind. Wind is a game record,
- 1:34:51Speaker 1: not the not the snow, not the cold wind. Wind
- 1:34:55Speaker 1: is a game wrecker. Looks like it's gonna be sunny
- 1:34:57Speaker 1: or clear. Not sunny, it's night but clear and um,
- 1:35:00Speaker 1: you know, mid mid low fifties. Let's go football with Yeah,
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: they win, they win it. Okay, at least finally, finally,
- 1:35:11Speaker 1: Pizza jumped in the bandwagon took them all. You just
- 1:35:15Speaker 1: did it to get clicks. I just did it because
- 1:35:18Speaker 1: I believed it. You definite believe it, Pizza bandwaggon guy.
- 1:35:24Speaker 1: They get to five d all of a sudden, Pizza Yep,
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: lock it. They're gonna win. Okay if that was a
- 1:35:30Speaker 1: healthy If that was a healthy Tennessee team, by the way,
- 1:35:32Speaker 1: I might not pick them, but they're not healthy. I
- 1:35:34Speaker 1: pick them to win. They win that game. I'm tired
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: of hearing you talk about this. We're gonna win. I
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: said it at the beginning of the year. We'd sweep
- 1:35:41Speaker 1: the Titans. So give me, give me something going forward,
- 1:35:44Speaker 1: give me a couple more locks. Then, if they're gonna
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: win this game, they're gonna win the playoff game too.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: You'll have all you have my playoff lock coming up
- 1:35:52Speaker 1: after this game. You don't talk playoffs until you win
- 1:35:54Speaker 1: this game. Lock them going to the super Bowl, no nothing.
- 1:36:03Speaker 1: I mean, that's no more absurd than you're locked that
- 1:36:05Speaker 1: they were going to make the playoffs seven weeks ago
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: when it worked out, So you look like a genius.
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: Nobody would have remembered. Nobody would have remembered if you're wrong,
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: if you were wrong, but they remember that you're right.
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: That's why you put it out there. Calculated on your part.
- 1:36:18Speaker 1: It was. It was show fodder, That's all it was.
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: He didn't believe that. Ever, he's cashing it in as
- 1:36:25Speaker 1: Pete Prisco, Tony was Lly David, Joe Brett, Ray Were
- 1:36:28Speaker 1: Joe Fortunato in the back end. M J. P. Shadrick,
