- 0:27Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Jaguars postgame. Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey,
- 0:30Speaker 2: Mark Dupner, and we anticipate Fred Taylor joining us at
- 0:34Speaker 2: some point. We're here for the next hour on the
- 0:37Speaker 2: UF Health Jaguars radio network to break down this game,
- 0:41Speaker 2: give you some perspective. To be honest with you, Mike,
- 0:43Speaker 2: the numbers, the superlatives, as the fancy broadcasters would say,
- 0:48Speaker 2: are just, they're just overwhelming. Where do you want to start? Takeaways, touchdowns.
- 0:54Speaker 2: How about point differential? the Jaguars have scored 108 more
- 1:00Speaker 2: points than they have allowed this year. That is an
- 1:04Speaker 2: astounding number.
- 1:05Speaker 3: And well, when you consider to put it in perspective
- 1:08Speaker 3: right now, and the Jags have played, uh, one more
- 1:10Speaker 3: game than the 49ers have right now, but the 49ers
- 1:13Speaker 3: are the next best having outscored their opponents by 58 points.
- 1:17Speaker 3: So 50 more points margin of victory, the Jaguars have
- 1:21Speaker 3: than any other NFL team going right now, coach Duff. And, uh,
- 1:26Speaker 3: I mean, the guys were talking about it in the
- 1:30Speaker 3: end of the broadcast there. You don't blow teams out
- 1:33Speaker 3: like this. Even a team like the Ravens like this,
- 1:36Speaker 3: you might get a team that's beaten up a little
- 1:38Speaker 3: bit and catch them and beat them by a few
- 1:41Speaker 3: scores on occasion.
- 1:42Speaker 4: But they've done it four times now this year.
- 1:44Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's incredible. I've never seen anything like that.
- 1:47Speaker 5: I mean, again. Four games where it's 20 points difference
- 1:51Speaker 5: in eight so far, 50% of the games.
- 1:53Speaker 2: Heading into the weekend, no other team had more than one.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 1:58Speaker 2: The Jags are sitting at four.
- 1:59Speaker 4: I mean, you just.
- 2:01Speaker 2: It's an abundance of riches. Everything is just turning up
- 2:06Speaker 2: gold for this football team right now. And think about it.
- 2:08Speaker 3: Tonight, Liam Cohen's going to be mad about some late-game
- 2:12Speaker 3: execution or lack thereof, settling for field goals. I mean,
- 2:15Speaker 3: they got a lot of field goals. They scored a
- 2:18Speaker 3: lot tonight. They scored, what, three touchdowns, four field goals,
- 2:22Speaker 3: so seven scoring drives. I'm not upset with it at all,
- 2:25Speaker 3: but there's enough little things in here. Coach Duff was
- 2:28Speaker 3: getting frustrated with some of the The play is towards
- 2:31Speaker 3: the end, and you've got a lot to dig into
- 2:33Speaker 3: as a coaching staff still.
- 2:34Speaker 5: We do, but I'll tell you this. Again, I talked
- 2:36Speaker 5: about before the game started that play to our standard
- 2:39Speaker 5: in all three phases, when you can do what they did,
- 2:41Speaker 5: four field goals, get a fumble caused on the kickoff coverage,
- 2:45Speaker 5: which is an area we had to get better at,
- 2:47Speaker 5: offense and defense playing like they did. They played to
- 2:49Speaker 5: their standard tonight.
- 2:50Speaker 2: Now, you're not going to want to hear this because
- 2:52Speaker 2: you're a football coach. But it's Thursday night. You're on
- 2:56Speaker 2: the road in the rain.
- 2:58Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 2:59Speaker 2: And you've got your second team in late in the ballgame.
- 3:02Speaker 2: Is there a little bit of grace for him? You know, listen,
- 3:04Speaker 2: you hate to give up the 65-yard run and give
- 3:06Speaker 2: them anything at the end. See the streak end. If
- 3:10Speaker 2: you just evaluate your starting team, which... I mean, don't
- 3:14Speaker 2: you feel really good about this?
- 3:16Speaker 5: Oh, you feel really good about this. And as you
- 3:18Speaker 5: just said, one of the key components to play like
- 3:20Speaker 5: they did in the rain, to get a victory, a
- 3:22Speaker 5: dominant victory in the rain, protecting the football as they did, superb.
- 3:26Speaker 2: John Ogier and I talked on Jags AM all week long.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Just find a way to win this one. It doesn't
- 3:31Speaker 2: matter whether it's one point or it turned out to
- 3:33Speaker 2: be 23 points. Plus, you came into the game without
- 3:36Speaker 2: Devon Hamilton and Eric Murray. That's two starters missing. on
- 3:39Speaker 2: your defense, and you also had two starters, one on
- 3:42Speaker 2: offense and one on defense, that were questionable coming into
- 3:44Speaker 2: the game. You just find a way to win. You
- 3:46Speaker 2: feel good. 33-10, I feel great.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Well, yeah, and when you can get in the fourth quarter,
- 3:50Speaker 5: your backup guys continuing to get experience right now, game experience,
- 3:55Speaker 5: that's priceless. So, again, a lot of positives today.
- 3:57Speaker 3: Yeah, I agree with you, Brian. Like, I'm not a coach.
- 4:00Speaker 3: So I was very satisfied with the performance tonight.
- 4:04Speaker 2: So you're overruled.
- 4:05Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 4:08Speaker 5: That's happened many times.
- 4:09Speaker 2: It happens at home every night, I'm sure.
- 4:10Speaker 3: But the point you make about Trayvon and Tootin, right,
- 4:14Speaker 3: they seem to come through the game fine, and nobody
- 4:16Speaker 3: else really picked up anything. And now you've got a
- 4:18Speaker 3: few extra days. So the short week is over. You
- 4:22Speaker 3: dealt with it, and now you can sit back and–
- 4:24Speaker 3: you know, reap the benefits of that by getting a
- 4:27Speaker 3: little extra rest.
- 4:28Speaker 2: Cam Little had four field goals. The Jaguars had three takeaways.
- 4:32Speaker 2: And Trevor Lawrence had two 50-yard completions, one for a touchdown.
- 4:37Speaker 2: Let's go to.
- 4:40Speaker 2: Where are we going to?
- 4:40Speaker 9: Baltimore. Right.
- 4:42Speaker 2: I was looking for the Everbank vault, Mike. Thanks very much.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks is with one of the two guys who
- 4:48Speaker 2: had an interception tonight. Monteric Buster Brown. Everbank, advantage you.
- 4:53Speaker 2: Other banks talk a big game. We deliver big results.
- 4:55Speaker 9: Buck?
- 4:56Speaker 5: Hey, Buster.
- 4:57Speaker 6: Talk about that defensive performance. Did a great job shutting down.
- 5:00Speaker 6: Derek Henry in coverage for most of the game. And
- 5:01Speaker 6: you got a pick.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, man.
- 5:03Speaker 10: It was a great week of practice. And we had
- 5:06Speaker 10: a great plan coming in. We know we had to
- 5:08Speaker 10: stop the run. You know, we wanted to make them
- 5:10Speaker 10: throw the ball. And, you know, once they threw the ball,
- 5:13Speaker 10: we had chances to have opportunities to get the ball back.
- 5:16Speaker 10: And that's what happened.
- 5:17Speaker 6: So it's so weird to play against an unusual offense,
- 5:20Speaker 6: Wildcat offense, the entire time. They're doing a bunch of
- 5:22Speaker 6: different things early. They've got a backup quarterback that you
- 5:24Speaker 6: don't know. How long did it take you guys to
- 5:26Speaker 6: kind of settle in and then kind of figure out, okay,
- 5:28Speaker 6: this is what they're doing. This is what we need
- 5:29Speaker 6: to take away.
- 5:30Speaker 10: No, me personally, I feel like we settled in like
- 5:32Speaker 10: the first two drives. You know, we got a feel
- 5:35Speaker 10: for what they wanted to do. You know, we did
- 5:38Speaker 10: a great job.
- 5:39Speaker 6: Yeah, y'all actually have done a great job all year long.
- 5:43Speaker 6: In this league, you don't dominate people like this. You
- 5:45Speaker 6: don't win by 20-plus points. It's a one-score lead. Why
- 5:48Speaker 6: have you guys been so good at being able to
- 5:50Speaker 6: separate from teams when you know that you've got them down?
- 5:53Speaker 10: You know, as a locker room, you know, all the
- 5:55Speaker 10: guys are close. You know, that means a lot to us.
- 5:58Speaker 10: You know, we all bind it together. And, you know,
- 6:01Speaker 10: we always practice hard and execute and, you know, do
- 6:03Speaker 10: our job every day and talk about everything. So, you know,
- 6:06Speaker 10: we've got a great group of guys. You know, what
- 6:08Speaker 10: is really good, and this is the last thing, you
- 6:10Speaker 10: guys have 11 interceptions. Like, how often do you guys
- 6:13Speaker 10: talk about in the DB room about getting your hands
- 6:15Speaker 10: on tips and overthrows and how important it is to
- 6:17Speaker 10: get those turnovers? Every day. You know, we talk about
- 6:19Speaker 10: our opportunities to get the ball back, you know, punching
- 6:22Speaker 10: the ball, intercepting the ball, tips and overthrows, all that. So,
- 6:25Speaker 10: you know, that's a daily emphasis for our defense. And,
- 6:28Speaker 10: you know, any chance we get, you know, we capitalize
- 6:30Speaker 10: on it.
- 6:30Speaker 5: Well, look, man, enjoy the long weekend.
- 6:32Speaker 6: Enjoy the kind of mini-bye that you get.
- 6:34Speaker 9: Man, great win.
- 6:35Speaker 5: Look forward to seeing you guys next week.
- 6:36Speaker 9: Yes, sir.
- 6:36Speaker 6: Thank you.
- 6:38Speaker 2: Monteric Brown with one of three takeaways for the Jaguars.
- 6:41Speaker 2: He also finished with four tackles. Good to see him
- 6:43Speaker 2: back on the field. He struggled with a hamstring for
- 6:45Speaker 2: a couple of weeks there. But he's back. Jaguars secondary. Again,
- 6:50Speaker 2: playing without Eric Murray tonight. A couple of takeaways. Played
- 6:52Speaker 2: pretty solid football.
- 6:54Speaker 3: Oh, no question about it, right? Good to have that.
- 6:56Speaker 3: And let's get a few more of these guys that
- 6:58Speaker 3: are nicked up a little bit. The Jags, you know,
- 7:01Speaker 3: particularly Trayvon and Tootin, as we talked about, they came
- 7:04Speaker 3: through seemingly unscathed, but now let's get them back to 100%.
- 7:07Speaker 3: All right, the Jaguars win 33-10.
- 7:10Speaker 2: They are 6-2 on the season, and we are heading
- 7:14Speaker 2: to a break. When we come back, more Jaguars postgame,
- 7:18Speaker 2: and we are endeavoring to get Fred Taylor onto this program.
- 7:20Speaker 11: 33-10.
- 7:22Speaker 2: Score on Jaguars postgame on Jaguars Radio. Jaguars postgame rolls
- 7:28Speaker 2: along here as we head towards the conclusion of Thursday
- 7:33Speaker 2: and into Friday. Brian Sexton along with Mike Dempsey and
- 7:38Speaker 2: coach Mark Duffner. Fred Taylor now joins us. Hello, Fred.
- 7:42Speaker 9: Hey, how's it going, gentlemen?
- 7:45Speaker 2: Nice to have you, my friend.
- 7:46Speaker 3: How are you?
- 7:47Speaker 9: I am doing amazing, man. Always good when the squad
- 7:50Speaker 9: get a W. You know that.
- 7:52Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about this. Where do you want to start?
- 7:54Speaker 2: The fourth 20-point-plus victory for this football team. Three more
- 8:00Speaker 2: than any other team in professional football. They also have
- 8:03Speaker 2: four games in which they've held their opponent to 10
- 8:06Speaker 2: points or fewer, which is now the most in football.
- 8:09Speaker 2: Anywhere you want to go, Fred, what are your initial
- 8:11Speaker 2: impressions of Liam Cohen's team on a short week on
- 8:14Speaker 2: the road in prime time?
- 8:16Speaker 11: At first, I want to say good job to the
- 8:18Speaker 11: guys of bouncing back. Had a few injuries Sunday, the
- 8:23Speaker 11: big one to Devon. But to be able to get
- 8:25Speaker 11: out there and sort of have some patience and break
- 8:29Speaker 11: down and see through what the Ravens were trying to
- 8:31Speaker 11: do early on, which was slow the tempo of the
- 8:34Speaker 11: game down, leave Trevor and the offense off the field,
- 8:38Speaker 11: and really just run at the Jaguars with some looks
- 8:41Speaker 11: they haven't shown a lot of. You know, they didn't
- 8:44Speaker 11: even care much to utilize, you know, one of their
- 8:47Speaker 11: best players on the field in Zay Flowers. They were
- 8:51Speaker 11: just going to try to punch the Jags in the mouth,
- 8:53Speaker 11: and that was short-lived. That, along with thanking the Buccaneers
- 8:58Speaker 11: again for Liam Cohen. You know, he's an amazing coach, man. And,
- 9:03Speaker 11: you know, last year wasn't a fluke, and they're proving that.
- 9:08Speaker 11: Trevor's proven that last year wasn't a fluke.
- 9:12Speaker 9: Coach Cohen.
- 9:13Speaker 11: Coach Campanelli, the guys on the defense, this entire squad
- 9:16Speaker 11: is proving that we're here to stay. You know, they've
- 9:19Speaker 11: been consistent week in and week out in that sense,
- 9:23Speaker 11: in the big scheme of things, I would say that.
- 9:26Speaker 11: And I think the one negative, if I had to
- 9:29Speaker 11: pull something out of this game, it was that 65-yarder
- 9:33Speaker 11: that they allowed at the end right there. 33-3 looks
- 9:37Speaker 11: much better than 33-10. But even in the stat column,
- 9:40Speaker 11: it looks a lot better. to not have that 65-yarder.
- 9:44Speaker 11: And when you subtract what the Ravens had as a team,
- 9:49Speaker 11: I think they were at 110 total yards or something
- 9:53Speaker 11: like that. So if you take that 60-yarder, this is
- 9:55Speaker 11: total domination and a great game by the Jaguars as
- 9:58Speaker 11: a unit.
- 9:59Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right about that, Fred. I mean, I think
- 10:01Speaker 3: most people who watched it will get that coming through.
- 10:05Speaker 3: One guy who's seeing his role grow seems to be
- 10:08Speaker 3: Nate Borkature. Went to him early, kind of set the
- 10:11Speaker 3: tone with that deep shot down the field. What are
- 10:13Speaker 3: you seeing from the rookie?
- 10:16Speaker 11: Again, just getting these reps and gaining more experience. which
- 10:20Speaker 11: allows the play callers to gain more confidence in his ability.
- 10:24Speaker 11: You know, I was thinking, you know, on draft night,
- 10:28Speaker 11: everybody was pretty shocked at, you know, the Jaguars taking
- 10:33Speaker 11: a leap and getting.
- 10:34Speaker 9: Him that early.
- 10:35Speaker 11: But when you see his films, You see a lot
- 10:39Speaker 11: of Gronkowski in him, and I'll give it to Brian,
- 10:41Speaker 11: and I'll finish the thought.
- 10:42Speaker 9: All right.
- 10:43Speaker 2: I forgot you can see me, Fred. We've got the
- 10:45Speaker 2: head coach, so let's go to Bucky Brooks at the
- 10:48Speaker 2: Everbank Vault inside M & T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.
- 10:52Speaker 9: Buck? Coach, thoughts on a great win on Thursday.
- 10:55Speaker 7: Yeah, just proud of the guys' mental and physical toughness
- 10:58Speaker 7: throughout the week. It was one of the best short
- 11:01Speaker 7: weeks I've ever been a part of from the group,
- 11:03Speaker 7: from the guys, from the staff. They were locked in
- 11:07Speaker 7: from Monday. I mean, that Monday was a long day
- 11:11Speaker 7: that they came in, had to get rehab, treatment, watch
- 11:13Speaker 7: the film, then go do two walkthroughs and an entire
- 11:18Speaker 7: normal down-the-distance game plan install. The guys just handled the
- 11:22Speaker 7: week perfectly. professionally, the process was clean. I think that's
- 11:27Speaker 7: what led us to go and execute the way we
- 11:29Speaker 7: did tonight.
- 11:29Speaker 4: It's funny.
- 11:30Speaker 6: After the game, I talked to Jordan Lewis. He said,
- 11:32Speaker 6: I don't think the coach is asleep.
- 11:33Speaker 9: He talked about you guys, their air matches.
- 11:35Speaker 6: He said they felt like they were so prepared for
- 11:37Speaker 6: this game that they weren't surprised with the wildcat or.
- 11:39Speaker 9: Any of those things.
- 11:40Speaker 6: So talk about what went into it for you guys
- 11:42Speaker 6: to get prepared for.
- 11:43Speaker 7: A short week like that.
- 11:44Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 11:45Speaker 7: You know, challenging. But we were working on Baltimore during the–
- 11:50Speaker 7: you know, on the bye game. Like that was what was,
- 11:53Speaker 7: you know, obviously we had a bye, but we also
- 11:55Speaker 7: had a short week coming off the bye. So we
- 11:58Speaker 7: had to do a lot of work on Baltimore prior
- 12:01Speaker 7: to Indy.
- 12:02Speaker 9: Right.
- 12:02Speaker 7: And a lot of it, the coaching staff did a
- 12:04Speaker 7: phenomenal job of getting the game plan together, dialed it
- 12:09Speaker 7: in very detailed, very, you know, trimmed inventory and, and
- 12:14Speaker 7: tried to just do what our guys do best, right?
- 12:16Speaker 7: And we were prepared for the Wildcat. I mean, we
- 12:19Speaker 7: practiced a ton of Wildcat yesterday, a ton of it
- 12:22Speaker 7: today in our walkthrough. So kudos to those guys for
- 12:26Speaker 7: being on the screws.
- 12:28Speaker 6: Offensively, pass game was on point. Working over the middle,
- 12:31Speaker 6: it was really nice to see everybody get involved. Number
- 12:34Speaker 6: 16 is playing at an unbelievable level. Just talk about
- 12:36Speaker 6: his growth and maturity over the course of the year.
- 12:38Speaker 7: It was great to start fast, right? Something that we've
- 12:40Speaker 7: been harping on, harping on. Last week, 98-yard drive. This week,
- 12:47Speaker 7: 70-plus-yard drive. We wanted to take the ball to try
- 12:50Speaker 7: to steal an early drive possession knowing the rain was
- 12:54Speaker 7: coming and to see them go and execute that way,
- 12:57Speaker 7: get a big explosive, go down the field, score a touchdown.
- 13:00Speaker 7: That's just a sign of maturity. It's a sign that
- 13:03Speaker 7: we are maturing, hopefully, and can continue to handle more
- 13:06Speaker 7: and more, right? And so You know, very pleased with
- 13:10Speaker 7: Trevor right now. I mean, he's playing accurate. He's playing
- 13:13Speaker 7: with great feel, anticipation, timing. His footwork's really clean right now,
- 13:18Speaker 7: so been very pleased with him.
- 13:19Speaker 6: Getting to know you a little bit, I know you
- 13:21Speaker 6: have high standards for the offense, and I can see
- 13:23Speaker 6: you kind of crossed your arms. You look disappointed that
- 13:25Speaker 6: you guys left some points on the field, particularly after
- 13:28Speaker 6: those turnovers. Going back into next week, how do you
- 13:31Speaker 6: work on that?
- 13:31Speaker 4: What do you talk to the guys about?
- 13:33Speaker 7: I got to watch it, but I didn't feel like
- 13:35Speaker 7: we were maybe sustaining blocks for as long as we could.
- 13:39Speaker 7: I don't know if we were running with our best
- 13:42Speaker 7: patience and vision and feel in some of those runs,
- 13:46Speaker 7: but I got to go watch it. I was frustrated
- 13:49Speaker 7: that to not end the game on our terms at
- 13:52Speaker 7: some points there. To continue to nip and get points, great.
- 13:57Speaker 7: It's awesome, but When you can score 50, we got
- 14:00Speaker 7: to go score 50.
- 14:01Speaker 9: Yes, I get that.
- 14:03Speaker 6: So now people talk about the short week, but the
- 14:06Speaker 6: benefit is kind of like a mini buy. So how
- 14:07Speaker 6: do you handle coming off a Thursday game with a
- 14:10Speaker 6: few more days to prepare and kind of rest up?
- 14:12Speaker 7: Yeah, the players will be off for the next few days.
- 14:15Speaker 7: We'll see them on Monday, do a bonus day on
- 14:17Speaker 7: Monday to prepare. Then their normal day off will be
- 14:21Speaker 7: on Tuesday. And then we'll get back right into the
- 14:23Speaker 7: work week on Wednesday.
- 14:24Speaker 9: Well, look, man, enjoy the weekend. Enjoy another win.
- 14:27Speaker 6: We look forward to seeing you next week.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Thanks, Bob.
- 14:30Speaker 10: All right.
- 14:31Speaker 2: Normally after this, I would go to a break. I
- 14:32Speaker 2: would say that the coach's interview was brought to you
- 14:34Speaker 2: by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal employees
- 14:39Speaker 2: and retirees. But I have to ask you about that
- 14:42Speaker 2: last quote. My goodness, did I love it. If you
- 14:44Speaker 2: can score 50, Fred, you have to go and get 50.
- 14:48Speaker 11: Hey, listen, Coach Cohen can do no wrong in my book.
- 14:53Speaker 11: And again and again and again. Thank you, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
- 14:57Speaker 11: You are the best.
- 14:59Speaker 9: I mean, that's the mentality you want to have.
- 15:01Speaker 11: But as a coach who, you know, his life is
- 15:05Speaker 11: the game. You know, you heard Bucky say what Jordan
- 15:09Speaker 11: Lewis said, that coaches pretty much sleep in the building.
- 15:12Speaker 11: And when you're that committed, you understand, you know, how
- 15:17Speaker 11: well your team is performing when they're on and when
- 15:20Speaker 11: they're not. And he wants to go back and assess everything.
- 15:22Speaker 11: But if he can look at it and say, hey,
- 15:24Speaker 11: we left 50 out there, that means it's possibly even 60.
- 15:27Speaker 11: So they're going to look at this film and see
- 15:32Speaker 11: how they can improve in each area. And I think
- 15:34Speaker 11: in a nutshell, to sort of narrow it down, Brian,
- 15:38Speaker 11: that's all he was saying. You know, there are some
- 15:40Speaker 11: areas we can clean up and just play better, regardless
- 15:43Speaker 11: of the point.
- 15:44Speaker 2: Which is scary for the rest of the league. Let's
- 15:46Speaker 2: just be honest. I don't care how bad or how
- 15:48Speaker 2: not good– The Ravens are. The Jaguars are good. And
- 15:53Speaker 2: everyone has to deal with that. Let's take a break.
- 15:54Speaker 2: We've got much more with Fred. Mark Duffner is here.
- 15:57Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey is sitting here. And we'll continue with Jaguars
- 16:00Speaker 2: postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. We are rolling through
- 16:08Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame. 33-10 winners on Thursday night football in Baltimore. Brian, Mike,
- 16:15Speaker 2: I can't point into your screens. Mark is over there.
- 16:18Speaker 2: Wave your hand, Mark.
- 16:19Speaker 7: Right here.
- 16:20Speaker 2: And then everybody knows the great Fred Taylor, pride of
- 16:22Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Fred, what's on your mind, my friend?
- 16:25Speaker 11: You know, just again, man, just more excitement, man, and
- 16:30Speaker 11: just proud of these guys.
- 16:31Speaker 9: You know, football isn't isn't easy.
- 16:36Speaker 11: And see, as Liam said, Coach Cohen said, the mental
- 16:39Speaker 11: toughness that they display, which for me, people take mental
- 16:43Speaker 11: toughness and say, oh, it's tough. But it's really just
- 16:46Speaker 11: saying that these guys are mentally aware, mentally focused. They're resilient.
- 16:51Speaker 11: They're disciplined. And I think that's the standard. You know,
- 16:55Speaker 11: I just sit here thinking about what Coach Cohen said and,
- 16:57Speaker 11: you know, how it would have been a joy just
- 17:00Speaker 11: to be in the building and just kind of follow
- 17:03Speaker 11: them around and see how.
- 17:04Speaker 9: They kind of maneuver.
- 17:05Speaker 11: You know, on the outside looking in, you hear all
- 17:07Speaker 11: of the cliche and all these things, but I kind
- 17:09Speaker 11: of get it. But I just kind of want to
- 17:11Speaker 11: drive it to the fans and give them sort.
- 17:14Speaker 9: Of a sense of what he's really saying.
- 17:17Speaker 11: And I was dead wrong when I said they weren't,
- 17:20Speaker 11: they hadn't seen the Wildcat.
- 17:21Speaker 9: I stand corrected. They were ready. They were ready for it, man,
- 17:26Speaker 9: and it showed.
- 17:28Speaker 3: Freddie, what do you make of the Jags' own running
- 17:30Speaker 3: game tonight? I mean, the fact that Basil Tootin played
- 17:33Speaker 3: shows you how much those guys want to be out there.
- 17:35Speaker 3: He didn't have to go short week, test it in
- 17:39Speaker 3: pregame warm-ups.
- 17:40Speaker 4: He was good to go.
- 17:41Speaker 3: Obviously, the way to attack this Ravens defense is down
- 17:44Speaker 3: the field, which the Jags did, but never really got
- 17:47Speaker 3: to play off of that and have a lot of
- 17:48Speaker 3: success in the run game tonight.
- 17:51Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you know, that's how the run game goes.
- 17:55Speaker 11: Some nights you'll have You know, big, big numbers and
- 17:58Speaker 11: great output. And sometimes you want, you won't. But I
- 18:02Speaker 11: think as long as there's a threat of it, you know,
- 18:06Speaker 11: there was some beautiful play action fakes that got a
- 18:08Speaker 11: few guys open behind them. And those teams know that
- 18:12Speaker 11: the Jaguars are a very balanced team. So they have
- 18:15Speaker 11: to honor that. And you have an opportunity to get
- 18:18Speaker 11: your shots in. So teams are going to have to
- 18:21Speaker 11: definitely pick their poison when they play the Jaguars. Because
- 18:26Speaker 11: they know Basial can rip it. They know Chris is
- 18:29Speaker 11: going to be tough, you know, and bang his head
- 18:32Speaker 11: on the goalpost whenever he gets an opportunity to run it.
- 18:35Speaker 9: So, yeah, you just have to play them on.
- 18:38Speaker 11: And the numbers won't always be there, but the threat of,
- 18:43Speaker 11: you know, the run will be there. It's just going
- 18:45Speaker 11: to continue to give them that balance.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Coach, let's get your thoughts on Tootin, who we didn't
- 18:49Speaker 2: even know would play until right up before kickoff. He's
- 18:53Speaker 2: a guy who had a big day last week, was
- 18:55Speaker 2: nicked up, didn't practice, but on a wet night in
- 18:58Speaker 2: prime time, he wanted to play.
- 19:00Speaker 5: Oh, yeah. I mean, you got to love this guy's
- 19:02Speaker 5: competitive spirit right now and what the contributions he's made
- 19:06Speaker 5: as a player, running the ball, catching the football, attitudinally tremendous.
- 19:10Speaker 5: And You know, a wise man said before the game,
- 19:13Speaker 5: I hope they throw the football to set up the
- 19:15Speaker 5: run game. And let me say this to you. They
- 19:18Speaker 5: did that in a big, big way. How about the
- 19:20Speaker 5: opening drive? Two opening drives in a row now, week
- 19:23Speaker 5: after week right now, where we take it down the
- 19:25Speaker 5: field and score. I mean, open the game and 13
- 19:28Speaker 5: personnel come out throwing the ball the first two plays
- 19:32Speaker 5: of the game, 52 yards to Borgeshire, plus four to Cozio.
- 19:36Speaker 5: I mean, Excellent stuff in terms of opening drives for touchdowns.
- 19:39Speaker 2: Did you bring that up? I mean, what a perfect.
- 19:42Speaker 2: We called it an A-plus. Beginning to a game, you're
- 19:46Speaker 2: on the road with a quarterback making his first start.
- 19:49Speaker 2: You want to knock it. him backwards mike and let
- 19:51Speaker 2: him know hey this is not going to go your
- 19:52Speaker 2: way tonight.
- 19:53Speaker 3: Right you want to do that just to set the
- 19:54Speaker 3: tone but also you know fred if you get up
- 19:56Speaker 3: early on this football team they're not going to have
- 19:59Speaker 3: the ability to throw the ball down the field very
- 20:01Speaker 3: effectively with their quarterback situation so You know, you look
- 20:05Speaker 3: up and you're the Baltimore Ravens and you're down seven. Okay,
- 20:08Speaker 3: we can go to the Wildcat. We can keep it close.
- 20:10Speaker 3: They get an opening drive field goal. They're feeling pretty
- 20:12Speaker 3: good about themselves. But by the time they hit 17 points,
- 20:15Speaker 3: you know, the game plan that they brought into the game,
- 20:18Speaker 3: the Baltimore Ravens, just simply wasn't going to work against
- 20:21Speaker 3: this team.
- 20:26Speaker 5: Yeah, no, you know, there's no question about that. I
- 20:28Speaker 5: think you said that really well. Fred, what do you
- 20:30Speaker 5: think on that?
- 20:31Speaker 11: I totally agree with Mike. I was just sorry waiting
- 20:34Speaker 11: for you guys to chime in. I agree with Mike
- 20:36Speaker 11: on that, man. Certainly a fast start was the key.
- 20:40Speaker 11: It goes back to their preparation and just being ready
- 20:43Speaker 11: for this game and not, they weren't going to allow
- 20:46Speaker 11: the lame duck to sort of just kind of hang
- 20:49Speaker 11: in there with them.
- 20:50Speaker 9: So that fast start was needed.
- 20:52Speaker 11: And, you know, the Jaguars continue to impress me each
- 20:56Speaker 11: and every week with how they just, their approach, man. And,
- 21:00Speaker 11: I don't expect they're going to allow a lot of
- 21:02Speaker 11: teams to sneak up on them. They're going to always
- 21:04Speaker 11: be prepared. They're going to always come out there and
- 21:07Speaker 11: play their best.
- 21:08Speaker 2: Have a little nugget for you. Tonight, Basial Tootin and
- 21:11Speaker 2: Chris Rodriguez each had at least 10 rushing attempts and
- 21:14Speaker 2: scored a rushing touchdown. Over the last 15 seasons, they've
- 21:18Speaker 2: only done that one other time. Week 11 last year
- 21:21Speaker 2: when Travis Etienne Jr. and Basial Tootin both had more
- 21:24Speaker 2: than 10 carries and a rushing touchdown. So, And that
- 21:27Speaker 2: was against the Chargers here in the wind that just
- 21:30Speaker 2: exploded and got the Jags on this run. It goes
- 21:33Speaker 2: back to Liam Cullen. I mean, they're doing things that
- 21:35Speaker 2: they've never done here at Jacksonville.
- 21:37Speaker 4: What is he, 19-6 now?
- 21:39Speaker 2: Yeah, pretty good start in his first 25 games.
- 21:41Speaker 3: In the regular season, at least. I mean, he's playing
- 21:43Speaker 3: over 750 ball. I don't know what else you could
- 21:47Speaker 3: possibly want at this point.
- 21:49Speaker 2: He wants 50.
- 21:49Speaker 9: We know that.
- 21:50Speaker 4: He wants 50, and that's good.
- 21:51Speaker 3: And that's why they're as successful as they are because
- 21:55Speaker 3: we can be satisfied.
- 21:56Speaker 4: Brian, as we talked about.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I am very satisfied tonight.
- 21:58Speaker 4: I won't lie to you.
- 21:59Speaker 7: So am I.
- 21:59Speaker 3: I love this performance by the Jags tonight. But from
- 22:02Speaker 3: a coaching staff standpoint, Fred, you've been in those meetings,
- 22:05Speaker 3: and they love to have a few mistakes to pick
- 22:07Speaker 3: you guys apart. Even in victory, they want to keep
- 22:10Speaker 3: you kind of even keeled and want your head to
- 22:12Speaker 3: get too big.
- 22:14Speaker 9: Yeah, 100% on that, Mike. These coaches, man, they're.
- 22:18Speaker 2: Going to coach you no more.
- 22:21Speaker 11: That's part of the game. We welcome it. We understand
- 22:25Speaker 11: mistakes happen, but you got to be coachable. If you
- 22:29Speaker 11: want to be great, you want to be the best,
- 22:31Speaker 11: you want to be able to compete in this league,
- 22:34Speaker 11: you have to be coachable.
- 22:36Speaker 9: Again, you have to be resilient and you have to
- 22:38Speaker 9: be ready to play.
- 22:39Speaker 11: And this team, they checked the box on Each of
- 22:43Speaker 11: those areas, man, they're a joy to watch and even
- 22:47Speaker 11: more to talk about.
- 22:48Speaker 2: All right, listen, they brought the home, the W tonight,
- 22:51Speaker 2: 33-10 over the Baltimore Ravens. And when they do that,
- 22:54Speaker 2: when the Jags win, you win a free Whataburger. 33-10,
- 22:58Speaker 2: the final score in Baltimore, Jaguars 6-2. We've got a
- 23:01Speaker 2: lot more to talk about. You're listening to Jaguars Postgame
- 23:04Speaker 2: on Jaguars Radio. And welcome back. This is Jaguars Post
- 23:12Speaker 2: Game on Jaguars Radio, presented by GEHA. Brian, Mark, Mike,
- 23:17Speaker 2: and Fred Taylor from the Hyundai Studios. So tonight, let's
- 23:23Speaker 2: talk a little defense, shall we?
- 23:24Speaker 4: Yeah, let's.
- 23:25Speaker 3: Let's talk about this linebacking core, Fred. I thought the
- 23:27Speaker 3: second consecutive game, Foye-Lewickin really stood out. And you could
- 23:31Speaker 3: tell Ventrell brings the heat when he comes up and
- 23:35Speaker 3: knocks a ball carrier. I'd like to get your thoughts
- 23:38Speaker 3: and Coach Duff as a linebacker's coach by trade as well.
- 23:43Speaker 3: What kind of added pressure or responsibility are on them
- 23:46Speaker 3: when you've got that big space-eating guy out of your
- 23:50Speaker 3: defense like Devon Hamilton? How much more does that put
- 23:53Speaker 3: on the shoulders of Foye, Luke, and Ventrell Miller.
- 23:56Speaker 9: If at all?
- 23:58Speaker 11: It really starts with the communication. He's the quarterback of
- 24:02Speaker 11: the defense. He has to make sure everybody's lined up
- 24:04Speaker 11: properly in their gap. Defense is a game of eight-man spacing,
- 24:10Speaker 11: so everybody has a lane assignment or a gap to cover.
- 24:14Speaker 11: If those guys are lined up and correct, they're already
- 24:16Speaker 11: behind the eight ball.
- 24:18Speaker 9: So Foye's job is to make sure.
- 24:20Speaker 11: Each of those guys are lined up properly and they
- 24:23Speaker 11: understand what their assignments is on top of whatever the
- 24:26Speaker 11: play call is. And, and then trails role is just, just,
- 24:30Speaker 11: just go be, you know, just go be the stunt dummy.
- 24:33Speaker 9: You're right.
- 24:33Speaker 11: Like your job is to just go smash, right? You
- 24:37Speaker 11: want to make sure you get the, the, the, the runner,
- 24:40Speaker 11: the ball carrier to, to your amazing tackler and Foye
- 24:44Speaker 11: Oluokun who's been leading the NFL in tackling for years,
- 24:48Speaker 11: and they continue to disrespect him and not honor him
- 24:52Speaker 11: with a Pro Bowl, but he continues to show up
- 24:55Speaker 11: and just does his role.
- 24:58Speaker 9: Those guys are great role players. They accept their jobs.
- 25:02Speaker 11: And they go out there, and they do it to
- 25:03Speaker 11: the best of their ability, and that's why this defense
- 25:06Speaker 11: is as good as it is, especially in a run game,
- 25:08Speaker 11: because those guys are unselfish. They just do their job,
- 25:12Speaker 11: and they make it tough on offenses.
- 25:15Speaker 5: Hey, Fred, well stated to the fans here. I'm telling you, excellent.
- 25:18Speaker 5: And that's one of the reasons you were such a
- 25:20Speaker 5: great runner. I mean, you knew what the job of
- 25:22Speaker 5: the opponent was there. That was very well done. But
- 25:25Speaker 5: as you mentioned, Mike, Foye consistently making plays. He gets
- 25:29Speaker 5: the big sack tonight in terms of pressure in the quarterback.
- 25:33Speaker 5: And Ventrell Miller, time after time, physical plays around the football.
- 25:37Speaker 5: Even Combs. Combs making big plays. Last week he made them.
- 25:40Speaker 5: with the interception in the game, coverage in the game,
- 25:42Speaker 5: special teams plays. These guys are showing up. So everybody
- 25:46Speaker 5: has a responsibility to take the slack up from the
- 25:49Speaker 5: loss of Deham as far as up inside. And so
- 25:53Speaker 5: it puts a little more stress on those linebackers. They've
- 25:55Speaker 5: gotten accustomed to him using up blockers and knocking the
- 25:58Speaker 5: offensive line back. And now to not have some of
- 26:01Speaker 5: that with his absence in the lineup, everybody has to
- 26:04Speaker 5: step their game up.
- 26:05Speaker 3: That being said, Fred, we've got about four and a
- 26:07Speaker 3: half days until that trade deadline. How much would you
- 26:10Speaker 3: like to hear the news that the Jaguars have acquired
- 26:13Speaker 3: another piece to help stuff the run in the middle
- 26:15Speaker 3: of that D-line?
- 26:17Speaker 11: I know that group, that front office, and Gladstone, Buscelli,
- 26:22Speaker 11: along with Coach Cohen, they're always up to something. I
- 26:27Speaker 11: wouldn't be surprised if they go out there and grab
- 26:30Speaker 11: a player that will supplement and fill that void for Devon.
- 26:37Speaker 9: So, again, I won't be surprised.
- 26:40Speaker 11: And if it doesn't happen, again, it goes back to
- 26:43Speaker 11: next man up mentality. The guys that are in the building,
- 26:48Speaker 11: they have to just prepare even harder and make sure
- 26:51Speaker 11: that if they do lack something in the physicality department,
- 26:56Speaker 11: because it's tough to replace Devon, but if they happen
- 26:59Speaker 11: to lack something in that physicality department, they better damn
- 27:02Speaker 11: sure make it up.
- 27:04Speaker 9: And knowing their assignment.
- 27:05Speaker 11: Because if you don't know what you've got to do,
- 27:08Speaker 11: you shouldn't be in the game to begin with.

- 29:49Speaker 8: mike mark and fred from the hyundai studios before we
- 29:52Speaker 8: get to the everbank status check Tonight is the third
- 29:56Speaker 8: consecutive game in which the Jaguars have scored 30 points
- 30:00Speaker 8: or more.
- 30:01Speaker 2: 31 in the loss to Houston, 42 last week, and
- 30:03Speaker 2: obviously 33 this evening. They did it last year. They
- 30:08Speaker 2: had a three-week stretch where they scored at least 30
- 30:11Speaker 2: points in wins against the Colts and the Jets here
- 30:15Speaker 2: and out in Denver. Now, in the 30 seasons before
- 30:19Speaker 2: Liam Cohen arrived, how many times did the Jaguars score
- 30:21Speaker 2: 30 points or more In three consecutive games.
- 30:25Speaker 3: You already told us the answer, so I'm not going
- 30:28Speaker 3: to try to look smart.
- 30:29Speaker 12: Once.
- 30:30Speaker 2: They did it in 2017. If you remember, they came
- 30:34Speaker 2: home in a critical stretch after the loss in Arizona
- 30:37Speaker 2: and beat the Colts, Seahawks, and Texans in consecutive weeks.
- 30:40Speaker 2: That's the only time. The great teams of the 90s
- 30:43Speaker 2: never did it. The 2017, which set all the scoring
- 30:46Speaker 2: records under Dirk Kutter, never did it. They've done it
- 30:49Speaker 2: twice in the Liam Cohen era.
- 30:51Speaker 9: Twice. In fact.
- 30:53Speaker 2: If we go back and count the number of weeks,
- 30:56Speaker 2: there have been, what, nine weeks this year? And so
- 30:59Speaker 2: you go back 10, 11, 12, 13, in the last
- 31:00Speaker 2: 14 weeks. They've done it twice.
- 31:05Speaker 5: It's incredible. Really.
- 31:06Speaker 2: The scoring is epic. Why don't you give us the
- 31:09Speaker 2: Everbank stats check? Brought to you by Everbank. Advantage you.
- 31:13Speaker 4: Well, you're going to like a lot of these as well.
- 31:15Speaker 3: First downs, Jags had 16 to only 10 for the
- 31:19Speaker 3: Ravens tonight.
- 31:21Speaker 4: And third down efficiency, not so great.
- 31:23Speaker 3: Four out of 12, but they held the Ravens to
- 31:26Speaker 3: five out of 16 attempts on third and fourth down combined.
- 31:29Speaker 4: Jags gaining 319 total yards. This is where Fred is
- 31:32Speaker 4: absolutely right.
- 31:33Speaker 3: That 65-yard run kind of skews things with these final
- 31:37Speaker 3: stats here. 227 for the Ravens, but that's not really
- 31:41Speaker 3: representative of how this game went. But 242-55 in the
- 31:45Speaker 3: passing department. Jags only had four penalties as a team tonight,
- 31:49Speaker 3: so pretty clean there. But it was Emmanuel Pregnon with
- 31:52Speaker 3: the false start, so let's hope that doesn't become... an
- 31:55Speaker 3: ongoing thing. Seven for 46 for Baltimore tonight. Jags had
- 31:58Speaker 3: a plus two turnover margin individually. Trevor Lawrence, once again,
- 32:03Speaker 3: with a passer rating over 100, 105 tonight.
- 32:07Speaker 4: His total QBR, by the way, 88.6.
- 32:08Speaker 3: That's on a 100-point scale, so that's pretty good. 242
- 32:13Speaker 3: through the air, average 9.3 per attempt with a touchdown,
- 32:18Speaker 3: no interceptions tonight for Trevor. They held Joe Finano to
- 32:24Speaker 3: 10 of 18 for 60 yards. Derrick Henry did attempt
- 32:28Speaker 3: one little shovel pass in there, and it didn't go anywhere.
- 32:31Speaker 3: Amir Abdullah actually led the Jags. with 30 rushing yards tonight.
- 32:35Speaker 3: But Basil Tootin and Chris Rodriguez each got into the
- 32:39Speaker 3: end zone. Justice Hill led the way on the other side,
- 32:41Speaker 3: 9 for 85 with that breakaway run really accounting for
- 32:45Speaker 3: most of that. Derrick Henry, 3.4 yards to carry. That's
- 32:48Speaker 3: more reflective of who he's been this year than anything.
- 32:52Speaker 3: He's been under 4 yards to carry, I think, now
- 32:55Speaker 3: in 5 out of 9 games this season. Jacoby Myers
- 32:58Speaker 3: caught 4 for 65. Parker Washington caught 2 for 61
- 33:02Speaker 3: in a touchdown. Borkature at 61 yards receiving, including that
- 33:06Speaker 3: 52-yard grab. Just spreading it all over the place. We
- 33:08Speaker 3: talked about this at halftime, I think. Six different receivers
- 33:12Speaker 3: with two or more receptions for the Jags tonight. Mark
- 33:15Speaker 3: Andrews led the way, if you want to call it that,
- 33:18Speaker 3: for Baltimore. Two catches for 19 yards. 7 total tackles,
- 33:23Speaker 3: 6 solo, and the lone sack for Jacksonville tonight.
- 33:27Speaker 5: Yeah, and I want to jump on Brian's scoring statement
- 33:30Speaker 5: relative to the offense. Just for our team right now,
- 33:33Speaker 5: we were fifth in the league going in and scoring
- 33:35Speaker 5: on offense with 28 points a game. Well, that's going
- 33:38Speaker 5: to go up. So we're going to be fourth or
- 33:40Speaker 5: third or whatever now in terms of ranking. But also
- 33:43Speaker 5: the defense was second in the league in scoring defense
- 33:46Speaker 5: with 15.9. And with 10 points tonight, that's going to
- 33:49Speaker 5: get better. So, again, this team has– offense and defensive
- 33:54Speaker 5: scoring top five or less, probably top four in the league.
- 33:58Speaker 5: That's incredible.
- 34:00Speaker 2: You know, it stood out early on. And Fred, maybe
- 34:02Speaker 2: you felt this way too. It felt like Derrick Henry
- 34:05Speaker 2: in the early going was carrying the ball more than
- 34:07Speaker 2: he did. I mean, it just felt like he was
- 34:10Speaker 2: more of a factor. And then middle of the second quarter,
- 34:13Speaker 2: it kind of fell off. But Derrick Henry, you've known
- 34:16Speaker 2: him for so long. Watched him when he was in
- 34:19Speaker 2: high school here and your son played against him in
- 34:21Speaker 2: a highly publicized game up at Uli years ago. He
- 34:26Speaker 2: has been a great back. He appears to be a
- 34:28Speaker 2: first ballot Hall of Fame kind of guy. Your thoughts
- 34:31Speaker 2: on where Derrick Henry might go from here. There has
- 34:33Speaker 2: been some talk that perhaps he'll be traded to a
- 34:35Speaker 2: contender before Tuesday.
- 34:39Speaker 11: Derrick's an amazing human being. He's an amazing player still.
- 34:43Speaker 11: He put so much time and investment into his body.
- 34:47Speaker 11: And wants to continue to climb the ladder to be
- 34:49Speaker 11: one of the greats. I certainly believe he's the first
- 34:52Speaker 11: Ballet Hall of Famer. But what I think about the
- 34:57Speaker 11: Hall of Fame has, over the years, never mind.
- 35:01Speaker 9: I digress. You guys know where I'm going, right?
- 35:03Speaker 2: Yeah, we know where you belong too, pal.
- 35:05Speaker 9: Speaking of Derek, he's an amazing player.
- 35:09Speaker 11: And I think if Baltimore wants to get something in return,
- 35:13Speaker 11: now is the time to try and deal him.
- 35:15Speaker 9: He still has a lot left in his tank, in
- 35:17Speaker 9: my opinion.
- 35:18Speaker 11: He hasn't sustained any major injuries, even throughout his career.
- 35:23Speaker 11: Even with the so-called wear and tear, the game has changed.
- 35:27Speaker 11: He's as big as the linebackers and the defensive ends.
- 35:30Speaker 11: So he doesn't really get any big shots. But again,
- 35:33Speaker 11: he's an amazing player. And to your thought, Brian, they
- 35:37Speaker 11: try to lean on him. When their best player is out,
- 35:40Speaker 11: and LJ, Lamar Jackson, Obviously, the next best player to
- 35:46Speaker 11: go to is, excuse me, Derek, sorry. So the defense
- 35:52Speaker 11: did a great job of being patient and wearing him
- 35:54Speaker 11: down and not letting him break off a big one.
- 35:57Speaker 2: 17 carries, 57 yards for him. Before we take a break,
- 36:00Speaker 2: let's pause 10 seconds for station identification. You're listening to
- 36:04Speaker 2: Jaguars Post Game on the UF Health Jaguars Radio Network.
- 36:17Speaker 2: All right, up next, the Jaguars Radio Network Player of
- 36:19Speaker 2: the Game voting. Jaguars win 33-10 on Thursday night football
- 36:24Speaker 2: in Baltimore, but we are tearing it up in Jacksonville,
- 36:28Speaker 2: and we'll return after this on Jaguars Radio. Time for
- 36:34Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network Player of the Game here on
- 36:36Speaker 2: Jaguars Postgame, brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association. Brian, Mike, Mark,
- 36:43Speaker 2: we each get one vote. Fred Taylor gets a vote
- 36:47Speaker 2: and a half to break any ties. So here in
- 36:49Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios. We start with age before beauty. You
- 36:53Speaker 2: go before Mike.
- 36:54Speaker 5: Okay, good.
- 36:55Speaker 2: How's that?
- 36:55Speaker 5: That's good. I think it's accurate.
- 36:57Speaker 2: I thought you'd like that.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Very good. Yeah, good statistics there.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Head coach here. You're our head coach, Mark Duffner.
- 37:01Speaker 5: So, no, I'm going to go with a lot of
- 37:03Speaker 5: good candidates, but I'm going to go with Trevor Lawrence. Again,
- 37:06Speaker 5: I think he continues the hot hand, not only in
- 37:09Speaker 5: production in terms of passing and touchdowns and what have you,
- 37:13Speaker 5: but just in moving this football team. And a couple
- 37:15Speaker 5: of the big plays in the game, especially early on,
- 37:18Speaker 5: They're backed up. It's a third and seven versus full blitz.
- 37:21Speaker 5: He hits Myers with a 14-yard strike that was a big,
- 37:24Speaker 5: big play at the time. And then second and eight,
- 37:28Speaker 5: 50-yarder versus full blitz to Parker Washington for the touchdown.
- 37:31Speaker 5: So I just say, you know, I think he continues
- 37:34Speaker 5: the hot hand. I'm going with Trevor Lawrence.
- 37:37Speaker 9: All right.
- 37:37Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey.
- 37:38Speaker 4: Fair enough.
- 37:39Speaker 3: And I think that's a very valid vote. I'm going
- 37:42Speaker 3: to go off the board here because sometimes it's clear cut.
- 37:45Speaker 3: I think we have some good candidates. We're going with
- 37:47Speaker 3: Cam Little tonight. On a wet field, not ideal conditions
- 37:51Speaker 3: to kick in. He was 7 of 7 on his kicks.
- 37:53Speaker 3: And really nothing was close to not being good.
- 37:55Speaker 4: I mean, he put up. What was that?
- 37:58Speaker 3: 15 points just off of his foot tonight, which easily
- 38:02Speaker 3: outpaced the Ravens total. So, you know, again, a lot
- 38:06Speaker 3: of good candidates. He didn't kick a game winner, but
- 38:09Speaker 3: he was really solid tonight. I'm going to go a
- 38:11Speaker 3: different direction as well.
- 38:12Speaker 2: I was going with Foye Aluokun, who I thought was
- 38:14Speaker 2: all over the field leading the run defense. Fred, seven
- 38:17Speaker 2: tackles and a sack. It felt like, much like Derrick
- 38:21Speaker 2: Henry felt like he had a bigger impact than the
- 38:23Speaker 2: 57 yards, it felt like Oluokun had a bigger impact
- 38:26Speaker 2: than just seven tackles. So you've got one, one, and one.
- 38:29Speaker 2: What say you? Whoever it is, you win.
- 38:34Speaker 11: I do want to acknowledge the guys that Mike and
- 38:37Speaker 11: Coach Duff mentioned, but my initial.
- 38:40Speaker 9: Thought was to go with Foye Oluokun.
- 38:42Speaker 11: Just looking at what the Ravens did from an offensive standpoint, yes,
- 38:46Speaker 11: they did not have you know, a quarterback, a formidable
- 38:50Speaker 11: force at the position, but the defense still went out
- 38:53Speaker 11: there and did their job holding the Ravens to, you know,
- 38:56Speaker 11: the one big run on the back end and really
- 38:59Speaker 11: two shutouts in the second and third quarter. I think
- 39:02Speaker 11: more importantly, what the Jaguars is doing good as a whole,
- 39:06Speaker 11: as a unit, is their turnover margin, the ratio. With
- 39:11Speaker 11: two more turnovers tonight, they're at plus nine and number
- 39:14Speaker 11: one in the NFL, so And Foyer is one of
- 39:17Speaker 11: the big reasons for that. But his performance tonight, I think,
- 39:20Speaker 11: speaks for itself. Not completely sexy, but enough to get
- 39:24Speaker 11: the job done. And I want to vote for him.
- 39:27Speaker 2: I'm not telling him that you said he was not
- 39:29Speaker 2: completely sexy.
- 39:30Speaker 9: Oh, no, the game.
- 39:32Speaker 2: No, no, I know.
- 39:33Speaker 11: Stat-wise, it wasn't so sexy, right? Usually he's a double-digit
- 39:38Speaker 11: tackle guy.
- 39:38Speaker 2: But Foye likes to think of himself that way.
- 39:41Speaker 9: Right? And a sack. You know what I mean.
- 39:42Speaker 2: I did. I totally did. Fred, I'm just screwing with you,
- 39:45Speaker 2: by the way.
- 39:45Speaker 9: I know. I know.
- 39:46Speaker 2: For a nine-year veteran in eight games, two sacks, two interceptions,
- 39:50Speaker 2: not bad for a middle linebacker that some people thought
- 39:52Speaker 2: was maybe a little bit beaten down. But he is
- 39:55Speaker 2: our Jaguars radio network player of the game. We've got
- 39:58Speaker 2: to be able to get him a Whataburger and cheese
- 40:00Speaker 2: curds at the very least.
- 40:02Speaker 4: At a minimum.
- 40:03Speaker 2: At the very least. He's got to get something more
- 40:05Speaker 2: than just our undying gratitude for him. And thanks for
- 40:08Speaker 2: a strong performance.
- 40:09Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll bet you he's leading the league right now
- 40:11Speaker 5: in sacks and in interceptions at the linebacker position. So production,
- 40:15Speaker 5: that's what it's all about.
- 40:16Speaker 4: Certainly in both.
- 40:17Speaker 2: All right, so somebody get him a Whataburger, please. We'll
- 40:19Speaker 2: take a break and come back. More to come here,
- 40:22Speaker 2: including a UF health injury update and pretty good news
- 40:27Speaker 2: tonight on a wet field in Baltimore. Back with more
- 40:30Speaker 2: with Fred, Mark, Mike, and you on Jaguars Radio.
- 40:37Speaker 10: Federer.
- 40:39Speaker 2: Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA, Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey, Fred Taylor,
- 40:43Speaker 2: and Mark Duffner from the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville. Time
- 40:46Speaker 2: for the injury report presented by UF Health, the official
- 40:49Speaker 2: healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. And I'm looking down
- 40:52Speaker 2: at the names that I wrote down, so this is unofficial,
- 40:55Speaker 2: leaving the field, being helped into the tent for the Jaguars,
- 40:59Speaker 2: and after last week, none.
- 41:02Speaker 9: Zero.
- 41:03Speaker 2: Zero.
- 41:04Speaker 9: Beauty.
- 41:04Speaker 2: So there's a chance. Now, you know how this one goes, Fred.
- 41:07Speaker 2: There's someone comes in, you know, early next week and
- 41:09Speaker 2: something's sore. But overall, it appears the Jaguars got out
- 41:14Speaker 2: of this game on this wet field on a short
- 41:16Speaker 2: week healthy.
- 41:19Speaker 11: Yeah, when the Toradol and the adrenaline wear off, that's
- 41:22Speaker 11: when the guys show up in the training room.
- 41:24Speaker 2: Now, Fred, Toradol has been outlawed in the NFL.
- 41:28Speaker 11: Yeah, you know, I heard some guys talking about it
- 41:31Speaker 11: not too long ago on another podcast.
- 41:33Speaker 9: So, but I, you know, I. I remember those days.
- 41:37Speaker 11: But either case, when adrenaline wears off, guys will pop
- 41:42Speaker 11: up in a locker room. You just never know, right?
- 41:45Speaker 11: But hopefully it's a clear sign that this team, you know,
- 41:50Speaker 11: was able to escape this game tonight and get out
- 41:53Speaker 11: of there fairly healthy because coming up the next couple weeks,
- 41:57Speaker 11: they're going to need to be healthy because they got
- 42:00Speaker 11: road games and then they got No.
- 42:02Speaker 9: Is it Titans?
- 42:03Speaker 2: Tennessee, Giants.
- 42:05Speaker 9: Giants, Tennessee. Then Tennessee again, and then the Bears.
- 42:10Speaker 11: Right, and then Pittsburgh following that home on Monday night.
- 42:12Speaker 11: So the thicker things are coming, so stay healthy. actually
- 42:16Speaker 11: will help them as they continue to march this season.
- 42:19Speaker 2: I know they're feeling good as they get ready to
- 42:20Speaker 2: go home.
- 42:21Speaker 9: Of course.
- 42:22Speaker 2: 33-10 winners tonight. One more segment. We'll come back and
- 42:25Speaker 2: wrap things up with a quick look at the bye weekend.
- 42:28Speaker 2: This is Jaguars postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. All right,
- 42:36Speaker 2: back to wrap things up for Jaguars postgame, brought to
- 42:39Speaker 2: you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal
- 42:44Speaker 2: employees and retirees. Brian, Mike, Mark, and Fred from the
- 42:49Speaker 2: Hyundai Studios. So the Jaguars are sitting at 6-2, three
- 42:54Speaker 2: and a half games up in the AFC South. What
- 42:58Speaker 2: do we got this weekend? You've got the Texans.
- 43:01Speaker 4: Texans Chargers.
- 43:02Speaker 2: Texans Chargers, right?
- 43:04Speaker 4: Colts Cowboys.
- 43:05Speaker 2: Yeah, who cares? It's the Texans, right? You're just watching
- 43:09Speaker 2: the Texans.
- 43:10Speaker 4: Fair enough, yeah.
- 43:11Speaker 2: They play out there.
- 43:11Speaker 4: Honestly, they're watching us right now. They're watching Jacksonville.
- 43:16Speaker 2: You'd like to be four games up with 90.
- 43:18Speaker 9: 100%.
- 43:19Speaker 4: 100%.
- 43:19Speaker 3: But I don't think Liam Cohen's peeking over his shoulder
- 43:22Speaker 3: right now. He's focused full on ahead.
- 43:25Speaker 2: If you can get 50, Fred, you got to go
- 43:27Speaker 2: get 50.
- 43:29Speaker 4: It's a t-shirt.
- 43:31Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 43:32Speaker 2: It should be a t-shirt. You have a t-shirt company?
- 43:34Speaker 4: I do not.
- 43:35Speaker 3: I have great t-shirt ideas. I don't have a t-shirt company.
- 43:38Speaker 3: Somebody will take that from me.
- 43:39Speaker 2: All right, Fred. Well, let's wrap this thing up. Most
- 43:42Speaker 2: important thing for the Jaguars to get done in the
- 43:46Speaker 2: trade market, if indeed they jump into the trade market.
- 43:49Speaker 2: What do you say?
- 43:52Speaker 9: Mike mentioned it.
- 43:53Speaker 11: You know, trying to make sure they have enough depth
- 43:56Speaker 11: right there in the interior of the defense. so they
- 44:00Speaker 11: can continue to do what they're great at, which makes
- 44:02Speaker 11: it easier on the guys on the back end. So
- 44:04Speaker 11: I think it starts with making sure the interior defense
- 44:09Speaker 11: is solid. So if there's somebody out there worth getting
- 44:14Speaker 11: in terms of value for this season, for now, then, yeah,
- 44:20Speaker 11: you make a move and you go get them. Otherwise,
- 44:23Speaker 11: you stay put. But, again, I'm on the sideline right here, Brian.
- 44:28Speaker 11: Thank God I.
- 44:28Speaker 9: Don't get paid to make that decision.
- 44:30Speaker 11: But those guys that we have, they're very good at
- 44:33Speaker 11: their job, and I'm sure they got their eyes on somebody.
- 44:37Speaker 2: All right, Fred, we're going to say goodnight to you.
- 44:39Speaker 2: Thanks for staying up with us, Jaguars 6-2. We've got
- 44:42Speaker 2: a lot of fun stuff to talk about in the
- 44:43Speaker 2: weeks ahead. We hope you enjoy some time with your
- 44:45Speaker 2: family this weekend. We know your travel schedule is brutal.
- 44:49Speaker 9: You know, man, it's good to hang out with you guys, man.
- 44:51Speaker 2: We're your Jaguars family.
- 44:54Speaker 9: You better believe it. You see with my hat.
- 44:55Speaker 6: I know.
- 44:56Speaker 9: I know.
- 44:57Speaker 2: You're family, Fred.
- 44:58Speaker 9: Oh, yeah.
- 44:58Speaker 2: You have been since 1998. You will be for the
- 45:01Speaker 2: end of time. And we love you and we appreciate you.
- 45:04Speaker 2: And we will talk to you next week.
- 45:07Speaker 11: Hey, check out that piece that NFL Films did. I
- 45:09Speaker 11: hear your voice in there, too, man. So appreciate you
- 45:14Speaker 11: sharing in my highlights.
- 45:15Speaker 9: Listen.
- 45:16Speaker 2: Forever late, baby. 90 freaking yards. And we'll leave it
- 45:20Speaker 2: at that. Yeah, I knew he was going to say that.
- 45:22Speaker 2: Fred Taylor, we love you. Have a great night. And
- 45:24Speaker 2: to all of you, we love you. Of course, when
- 45:26Speaker 2: the Jags win, we love everyone and everything. It just
- 45:28Speaker 2: makes it that much fun. For those of you on
