Fred Taylor Discusses The Pass Rush Impact for Week 4 | Countdown to Kickoff · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: It's time for our weekly conversation with Pride of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. And we have to have
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: a conversation Fred after what happened last week. I know
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: we certainly did in the post game last week and
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: all week long this week has been the talk of
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: the town. And the forty seven to ten loss on
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Monday night football a humbling defeat to say the least,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: But all right, they're zero and three. There's a lot
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: of football left ahead. So as an organization, as a
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: football team, as a coaching staff, you just got to
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: put a foot in front of the other and keep
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: going forward. Right, But how do you do that after
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Monday night?
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Well, you watched this, You watch the tape from Monday night,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: and you accept the reality that you stunk it up,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: you know, and you go in there and you try
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: your best avoid doing that again. You try your best
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: to avoid doing that. And I think it starts with the coaches.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: You know, they're going to see the film first. They
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: have to look at the positions that they put the
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: players in. They have to look at the calls in
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: each situation and say, how could we coach better? That's
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: where it starts first. They have to take that relay
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: that to the players. They have to tell them the
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: honest truth. You were here, you were here, you could
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: have done this better. This was really bad, but you
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: could do this better. I got faith that you can
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: do this better. We're gonna continue to call it. We're
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: gonna tighten it up, but we have to get better together,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: and it starts with having that conversation watching the film.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Then you bury it, which is what Doug said after
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the game. You bury that entire loss. You throw it away.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: You're about to play a team who just got beat
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: almost as bad. The Vikings put a number on the Texans,
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: and they're looking to get bounced back. They know the
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: Jaguars are injured, they know they're the depleted secondary. They
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: know there hasn't been a pass rush. They're gonna, you know,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: they scouted all of that. They know that Cam Robinson
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: has been struggling, so they're gonna to do some matchups
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: there and make sure they're dominant. Pass rusher is right
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: over Cam to put pressure on Trevor directly in his face.
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: They're gonna expect Trevor to make some bad throws because
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: of it. So that's just what they're gonna get from
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a defensive standpoint from the Texans. From offensively, the Texans
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: are gonna they're gonna go after him a lot of
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: I expect a lot of deep shots. I don't expect
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: many short balls throughout the day. But they're gonna match
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: up Devin Lloyd much like the Bills did on Monday Night,
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: and they're gonna take some shots behind them, intermediate and
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: then deep. So it's gonna be a tough match up
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: here in the South AFC South. But it's not over
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: till it's over. Still still a lot of football to play.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: You have to see incremental improvement from the staff as
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: well as the players.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Ben Taylor with us, I mean if they turned around
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: the next two week's division wins two and three going
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: to London, then all right back in it again, in
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: shape and right there in the race. But they have
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: bigger issues to attend to, certainly right now. This is
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: the quarterback matchup that we've been thinking about moving ahead here. CJ.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Stroud Trevor Lawrence. Last week, Trevor didn't stand up in
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: that spotlight on Monday Night football.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: But CJ.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Stroud's been doing it pretty well this year. Obviously the
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: first two weeks of the season he was really good.
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: He's got really good receivers who played well around him.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: What is it about Stroud? What do you like about
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: his mentality, his mindset and the way he's going about
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: his business early in his.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: Career, and you know, the way you see CJ on
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: the field is the same CJ off the field. He's collected,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: he's poised, he's mature. You know, you see a rookie
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: come in a year ago and you don't expect him
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: to take command of a team. You know, the amount
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: of leadership he displayed just having conversations with CJ on
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: our podcast The Pivot, saying, you know, his demeanor, his
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: approach to life is amazing. His faith and belief belief
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: in God is where it all starts. That carries over
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: to football for him. He's completely confident and who he
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: is as a person and who he is as a player.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: His teammates can see that he's a guy that isn't
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: gonna flinch. He's a guy that's gonna take the bull
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: by the horn and ride it. He's going to tell
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: you know, another Alpha and his newly acquired receiver, Stephan Diggs,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: he's gonna say Steph, look you're wrong. You know, he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: not afraid to do that as a young guy to
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: a veteran, and they believe in that him and they
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: respect him for for that. You know, we spend some
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: time down in Houston, Uh this during our training camp
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: tour with the podcast, and same thing, same guy. You know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: he believes in himself, he believes in his staff. He
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: spends a lot of time in the meeting rooms. Uh.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: He's spent a lot of times with his receivers. He
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: even invited me out to dinner with his receivers and
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: a concert. But I'm like, no, I'm a little older
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: than you guys. I'll pass, but I appreciate it. But
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: he's so thoughtful and consider it. He wants to win,
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: He wants to be the best, so he puts that
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: time in. He doesn't make a lot of mistakes. Last week,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: the Vikings got two from him, so I'm sure he's
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: in the film room more extra hours to try and
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: circumvent those things from happening versus the Jaguars. But he
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: is certainly everything that you saw a year ago, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: he showed that the first two weeks, and I'm sure
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: He's looking to bounce back with all his MC versus
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: the Jaguars in this matchup.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: Bred Taylor Pride to the Jaguars running back with us.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: All right, from a Jaguars offensive perspective, how do you
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: fix it? What happens offensively? What moving ahead this week?
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Can they do better to score and have results and
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: have early success on the offensive side.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Well, in the past game, you got to slow down
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: to Texans, right, they have thirteen sex in three games.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: They have rushers across the board. You want to make
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: sure you remind your running backs to chip release and
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I mean we talk. We've been talking weeks every week
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: right the past three weeks. So you want to make
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: sure you remind those guys to help. You know, don't
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: rush out on your routes. You your secondary target. Make
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: sure you take a nice chunk out of their defenders
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: so that your alignment can get back and regain their
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: position so they can hold up a bit longer so
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: Trevor can get the ball down til Also while they're
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: doing that, I want to see some shots, you know,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Brian Thomas Junior. All throughout the broadcast on Monday Night,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they say this is the guy that can change plays.
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: They're calling it, and they're not in Jacksonville. This is
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: the national televised guys, by national televised group that don't
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: see this kid play every week. But he's someone who
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: I believe can get it done. You take those chances.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: It's good to see Christian Kirk back in the fall.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Get more targets and get more receptions. Utilize him as well.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: And then it's the run game. You know, try not
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: to fall behind so that you can be more balanced.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: You fall behind and you take the run game, it's
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: none existence. Then you end up throwing forty six times
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: as you did Monday night to only seventeen runs. And
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: that's not the balance. That's not a winning recipe for
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: any team, you know, across the league. So I guess
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: that's the formula. Slow down the rush, protect Trevor. Trevor
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: has to make better throws from a defensive standpoint, take
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: some of the air out, you know, tighten up the defense.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I will not run heavy man this week, and I
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: would try to disguise better, put a little bit more
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: zone in there. But tell those guys we got to rush.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: We really really got to rush. Got to stop the
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: run first. I don't know if Mixon is back healthy
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: this or that, but he's certainly a dog when he's
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: in there, and and certainly their other running backs are
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: as well, so tall order in a divisional matchup, and
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: again I'm optimistic they got to bounce back because JB
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: really quick. Yeah, mine is the blowout. They could easily
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: be two and one, and I know we can always
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: say the team can easily be this, so they can.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: It's the NFL, though, right, so you gotta win the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: ones that you're supposed to win in the event that
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: blowouts do happen. But the Dolphins game, the ETN play,
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: that's a win. That is a win. The very following
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: week the Arnest Johnson, that's a potential win. That was
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: a big ununity that took back scuity down there. That's
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: a huge unity. So you can't let those type plays
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: beat you. For situations like this, you can be two
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: and one versus oh and three with an opportunity to
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: be in a big divisional matchup for lead in the division.
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: You're not that. What you are is oh and three
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: with an opportunity to play a fold that you're very
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: you're familiar with, a team that that's had your number
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: in the most recent years. But you still have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: go out there, to a man and play your best
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: and see what Whatever the result is, you've earned it,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: accept it, move on to the next week. So I
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: expect a better game than Monday night is showing we can.
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: Always count on you for pro sective Fred. It's got
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: to stop in that locker room somewhere. You know you
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: can coach it, and you can you teach it on
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: the board, you can do everything you want, and the scheme,
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: everything's under the microscope this week. I get that. But
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: at some point the players cross that threshold and they've
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: got to go play better too.
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: They gotta play better. They got to catch it, they
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: gotta throw it better. They got to make the right cuts.
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: You gotta rush better, got to cover better. Yeah, but
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you gotta win.
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: Gotta win. Fred. Will talk to you again a little
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: bit later. Thanks, all right. JP.
