Speaker 1: Welcome into this Thursday edition of jagsam Kay Nanni Stevens,
0:19
Speaker 1: Brian Sexts, and John Osier w Withney. Today's we're getting
0:21
Speaker 1: ready to talk about the Jaguars Raiders game gonna happen
0:24
Speaker 1: on Sundays. This team heads to Las Vegas a little
0:26
Speaker 1: bit early this week to get ready for a matchup
0:29
Speaker 1: their first after the bye weeks. Let's talk about our
0:31
Speaker 1: big Things today, brought to you by de EH Government
0:33
Speaker 1: Employees Health Association Benefits for federal employees and retirees. Big
0:38
Speaker 1: thing number one, bye by bye week last week for
0:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars, bye week last week for the Raiders. We
0:44
Speaker 1: Liam Cohen talked a little bit yesterday about what he
0:46
Speaker 1: wants to see from his team coming.
0:47
Speaker 2: Out of the buy the teams that maybe identify I
0:51
Speaker 2: guess you could say an issue right issue or somewhere
0:54
Speaker 2: where you're underperforming, slash where you're what you're doing well,
0:59
Speaker 2: and either coming into this week right of their next game,
1:05
Speaker 2: addressing those tangibly.
1:07
Speaker 3: Like all right, we want to improve in this area. Well,
1:10
Speaker 3: if you just say it might not get done, you're
1:13
Speaker 3: usually from players, you get what you emphasize very very often.
1:19
Speaker 3: And so if there's areas where you're trying to show
1:22
Speaker 3: and improve, not just talking about it or getting the
1:26
Speaker 3: stats and showing it well, going out addressing it in
1:29
Speaker 3: the meeting, showing the examples, but then applying it to practice,
1:34
Speaker 3: applying it to the walkthroughs of Okay, guys, these are
1:38
Speaker 3: the tangible areas where we need to improve and what
1:40
Speaker 3: we want to improve upon and actually go attack it right.
1:45
Speaker 1: We've seen a lot of behind the scenes what the
1:47
Speaker 1: team's been working on addressing some of the issues. Penalties,
1:50
Speaker 1: you know, mistakes, kind of self inflicted stuff. But the
1:53
Speaker 1: Raiders are going to come out this week doing similar things.
1:55
Speaker 1: We both had disappointing games going into the bye week.
1:58
Speaker 1: What's it going to take for the Jaguars to actually
2:00
Speaker 1: correct these issues?
2:01
Speaker 4: Listen, what are the issues?
2:03
Speaker 5: Right?
2:03
Speaker 4: I mean it's a long list. Whether it's lack of
2:05
Speaker 4: sacks or too many sacks given up for penalties or
2:08
Speaker 4: third down. If you get the running game started on offense,
2:11
Speaker 4: I think that changes the dynamic. You know, look at
2:13
Speaker 4: the numbers. The last three games. The Jaguars have not
2:16
Speaker 4: run the ball very effectively and they have found themselves
2:19
Speaker 4: behind the six having to convert on third down. And long,
2:22
Speaker 4: and that of course leads to holding penalties or illegal
2:25
Speaker 4: man downfield penalties. There's been a lot of them if
2:28
Speaker 4: you get the running game, and I suspect, especially after
2:30
Speaker 4: watching practice on Wednesday, I suspect that is a major
2:33
Speaker 4: area of focus for this football team. The ability to
2:36
Speaker 4: run the football like they did the first four games.
2:39
Speaker 4: It will solve a lot of problems. It will calm
2:42
Speaker 4: down an offense that was out of sorts the last
2:45
Speaker 4: two games in particular.
2:46
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think what Liam said during his you know
2:51
Speaker 6: the quote, we ran.
2:53
Speaker 7: Coaches do believe that if you emphasize something hard during
2:57
Speaker 7: a week, you're gonna see it on Sunday. He's been
3:00
Speaker 7: talking about penalties and pre snap stuff all season. I'm
3:04
Speaker 7: sure they've addressed it in practice all season, but you know,
3:09
Speaker 7: his emphasis on it since the Rams game has been
3:12
Speaker 7: so big. I think he'll be disappointed on Sunday if
3:17
Speaker 7: we see a repeat of Seattle and the Rams, which
3:20
Speaker 7: was so much pre snap stuff and so many avoidable issues.
3:24
Speaker 7: So to me, that's the storyline this week and they
3:26
Speaker 7: cut those things out. If they do, they can get
3:29
Speaker 7: to all the things that Brian was talking about, playing.
3:31
Speaker 1: Smart football, big thing number two is going to be
3:32
Speaker 1: back in action. We're talking about the Raiders. Rock Bauer
3:35
Speaker 1: is going to be back in there. He was dealing
3:36
Speaker 1: with an injury previously. John Liam Cohen talked a little
3:41
Speaker 1: bit earlier this week. Actually, let's hear from coach Cohen.
3:43
Speaker 1: He talked a little bit about what rock Bowers does
3:45
Speaker 1: in the field.
3:46
Speaker 3: He gets in and out of break so well. I
3:50
Speaker 3: know he was like forty something men's vertical coming out
3:52
Speaker 3: of high school. He's a very good athlete. He's like,
3:56
Speaker 3: what do you need to fine as a football player?
3:58
Speaker 3: I mean, he just has a knock for getting open.
4:02
Speaker 3: He's harder to tackle than maybe just looking at the tay.
4:06
Speaker 3: He'll break tackles, drag people down. He knows how to
4:11
Speaker 3: wiggle and separate and also the contested catchability. So very
4:15
Speaker 3: good player.
4:16
Speaker 8: Have a lot of respect for him.
4:18
Speaker 9: John.
4:19
Speaker 1: We saw firsthand what rock Bars can do when they
4:21
Speaker 1: played the Raiders last year. Now with him back in action,
4:23
Speaker 1: what kind of problems does he present?
4:25
Speaker 7: Well, sometimes in this league we've seen it a couple
4:28
Speaker 7: for the last couple of years. Sometimes Hall of Fame
4:31
Speaker 7: skill players win games. Jamar Chase DeVante Adams. I'm not saying,
4:35
Speaker 7: brock Bars is the Hall of Famers in his second year.
4:38
Speaker 7: But he's got that level of talent, that level of ability,
4:42
Speaker 7: and when he's been healthy in the NFL, that level
4:44
Speaker 7: of production. Him being back makes this a dramatically different
4:48
Speaker 7: Raiders offense. You know, he's the kind of guy that
4:52
Speaker 7: you can play well on first and second down, and
4:55
Speaker 7: then it's third and eight, and then it's first and
4:58
Speaker 7: ten because they throw him the ball. Bran He's he
5:01
Speaker 7: makes this a much different dynamic for the Raiders offense.
5:04
Speaker 4: Two guys in the locker room yesterday, John and Kai
5:06
Speaker 4: that were focused on rock Bowers. The first was Trayvon Walker,
5:10
Speaker 4: who played with him at Georgia. He just smiled and said,
5:13
Speaker 4: he's a great player. Don't matter what you ask him
5:15
Speaker 4: to do, whether it's to stand up and get down
5:18
Speaker 4: the field or whether it's to put your hand in
5:19
Speaker 4: the ground and block someone, He's just a great player.
5:22
Speaker 4: And the other was Jordan Lewis. Now, normally you don't
5:25
Speaker 4: talk to a cornerback about a tight end, but this
5:28
Speaker 4: is the main receiving threat for the Las Vegas Raiders,
5:31
Speaker 4: and they will put him out wide, they'll move him
5:33
Speaker 4: into the slot Jordan Lewis talked about how the cornerbacks
5:36
Speaker 4: have to be very respectful because he's tall, he's got length,
5:40
Speaker 4: he's got strength over most corners in the league. The
5:42
Speaker 4: Raiders use him and will create mismatches, and he's the
5:45
Speaker 4: type of guy that they will look to first, they'll
5:48
Speaker 4: look to second, they will throw the ball even when
5:50
Speaker 4: it appears he's covered. He's a tremendous football player and
5:53
Speaker 4: changes the dynamic for a Raiders team that hasn't played
5:56
Speaker 4: very well recently.
5:57
Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is going to be no quit.
6:00
Speaker 1: Look to the other side of the football. Max Crosby
6:02
Speaker 1: is obviously the name that sticks out. Trevor Lawrence talked
6:04
Speaker 1: him a little bit about his energy and the no
6:07
Speaker 1: quit attitude.
6:09
Speaker 9: Really good player, very good. He's just he's one of
6:13
Speaker 9: those guys you know, there's a there's a handful of them,
6:15
Speaker 9: I mean a lot of great players in this league.
6:17
Speaker 9: But as far as just those defensive edge, you know,
6:20
Speaker 9: defensive end, pass rusher guys that are he's just constant, NonStop.
6:24
Speaker 9: I think that's what you know is admirable about his
6:28
Speaker 9: play is that it is just such a high motor. Obviously,
6:30
Speaker 9: he's athletic and he's skilled and strong and good instincts,
6:33
Speaker 9: but he plays really hard, so and that's something where
6:36
Speaker 9: he makes a lot of plays because of that.
6:40
Speaker 1: Now, Brian, Max Crosby didn't practice yesterday. I have a
6:42
Speaker 1: feeling he'll probably find his way onto the field this
6:44
Speaker 1: weekend though, And that what Trevor was just saying there.
6:47
Speaker 1: He doesn't quit, so you can't just block him once.
6:49
Speaker 1: You have to continue and follow through on it.
6:52
Speaker 4: He's a great player and when you talk to people
6:53
Speaker 4: all around the league and they talk about the Raiders,
6:55
Speaker 4: he's the first name that they go to. I asked
6:58
Speaker 4: Robert Hainsey, the center, about him, and Robert will see
7:00
Speaker 4: him over him very much. But he talked about communication
7:03
Speaker 4: being the key with Max Crosby and everyone knowing where
7:07
Speaker 4: he's at and what the blocking scheme is, and him
7:10
Speaker 4: as the center identifying and be able to get the team,
7:13
Speaker 4: the offensive line together to understand that ninety eight doesn't
7:17
Speaker 4: ever stop, so they've got to know where he is
7:20
Speaker 4: at at old times and they will be very aware.
7:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, you need to run well and you need to
7:27
Speaker 7: get a lead in this game to keep Max Crosby
7:29
Speaker 7: from being as much as the factors. Otherwise it could
7:31
Speaker 7: be if his game gets close late. The Raiders have
7:35
Speaker 7: two guys they can depend on for big plays late
7:37
Speaker 7: while one is Bours the Olwen's Crosby. You don't want
7:41
Speaker 7: to be in an obvious passing situation late in the
7:43
Speaker 7: game with Crosby knowing you got to pass because he's
7:47
Speaker 7: as Trevor said, he's one of a handful of guys.
7:49
Speaker 7: What you know that in this league Miles Garrett who
7:54
Speaker 7: if you're up, even if you double team him late,
7:57
Speaker 7: he can wreck your game. So be up more than Yes, that's.
8:01
Speaker 1: A good plan.
8:01
Speaker 6: I like it.
8:02
Speaker 1: Stay with us, Sarah and jag Zam coming up after
8:04
Speaker 1: the Brave Gay checking when Raiders were poor, Leevi Edwards

8:27
Speaker 1: Behind Enemy Lines where we check in with a media
8:29
Speaker 1: member from the Jaguars opponent team, and this week the
8:32
Speaker 1: team is heading to Las Vegas, so checking in with
8:34
Speaker 1: Levi Edwards from the Raiders. Levi, thank you for joining us.
8:38
Speaker 1: It's exciting, exciting times. I hope you had a great
8:40
Speaker 1: bye week like we did, but similar situations this team
8:44
Speaker 1: was in last year. I remember when we played, both
8:46
Speaker 1: teams were kind of figuring out where they were going
8:47
Speaker 1: to be in the draft lottery and whatnot. And now
8:50
Speaker 1: going forward kind of in the midst of a rebuild. Right, So,
8:53
Speaker 1: you guys have Pete Carroll coming in. When you look
8:55
Speaker 1: back at the first eight weeks or so, what's kind
8:57
Speaker 1: of your reflection of what you've seen so far.
9:00
Speaker 8: Really just a lot of things need to be cleaned
9:02
Speaker 8: up for the Las Vegas Raiders.
9:04
Speaker 5: That's been my reflection.
9:05
Speaker 8: You definitely see us, you know, some good things happening,
9:09
Speaker 8: and there's definitely been a culture change, which is good. Obviously,
9:12
Speaker 8: Pete Carroll has come in and he has that, you know,
9:14
Speaker 8: experience of being able to turn the locker rooms around
9:17
Speaker 8: and get guys to play for him, and I don't
9:19
Speaker 8: necessarily see that being a problem. However, I just believe
9:22
Speaker 8: that execution has not been at full strength. I think
9:27
Speaker 8: a lot of these guys are still trying to acclimate,
9:29
Speaker 8: especially on the offensive side of the ball, trying to
9:32
Speaker 8: acclimate to a new playbook, to a new play style.
9:35
Speaker 5: I just think that there's been some things that need
9:37
Speaker 5: to be cleaned up.
9:38
Speaker 8: Also, injuries have also played a factor, and it also hurts,
9:42
Speaker 8: you know, when you don't have the depth that you
9:44
Speaker 8: would like on this team to where you can't afford
9:46
Speaker 8: to lose guys like Rock Bauers and lose guys like
9:48
Speaker 8: the Kobe Myers and lose guys like Holton Mill. You
9:50
Speaker 8: just can't afford to lose those kind of guys on
9:53
Speaker 8: a team like this with the depth not being as
9:57
Speaker 8: strong as you would like. So that's just been my
9:59
Speaker 8: reflection so far.
10:00
Speaker 1: You guys had a tough loss kind of going into
10:02
Speaker 1: the bye week. The Jaguars in a similar position moving
10:05
Speaker 1: to the Rams. As practice goes on this week, what
10:08
Speaker 1: are some bye week changes maybe you're expecting or hoping
10:11
Speaker 1: to see coming out this week?
10:13
Speaker 8: Really just guys coming back, guys getting healthy. You see
10:16
Speaker 8: Jacob Meyers back on the field, You see Brock moving
10:19
Speaker 8: around a lot faster, a lot better. And we all
10:22
Speaker 8: know what Brock can do when he's fully healthy. We
10:24
Speaker 8: know what he's capable of. I believe we saw that
10:26
Speaker 8: first hand even last year when the Jaguars came to
10:29
Speaker 8: the Allegiance Stadium.
10:30
Speaker 5: So a dynamic player, Gino Smith. He gets one.
10:33
Speaker 8: Of his receivers that he's best friends with, Tyler Lockey.
10:36
Speaker 5: He just entered the building.
10:38
Speaker 8: And signed his contract and went straight to the practice field,
10:41
Speaker 8: already not wasting any time making sure that he gets
10:44
Speaker 8: back on the same page with Gino Smith, and they
10:45
Speaker 8: did some great things with each other in Seattle. So
10:48
Speaker 8: really what I'm looking forward to coming out of the
10:50
Speaker 8: bye week because guy's just getting healthy, Guy's getting back
10:53
Speaker 8: on the field. Also another guy, Lonnie Johnson's safety, who
10:56
Speaker 8: literally broke his leg in training camp and now seven
11:00
Speaker 8: weeks into the season he's coming back, which is remarkable.
11:03
Speaker 5: So I'm excited for that too.
11:04
Speaker 8: He was a guy that was potentially in line to
11:06
Speaker 8: be a starter coming into the season and now he's
11:08
Speaker 8: back and hopefully he can get that spot back.
11:11
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have a new offensive system here there. We've
11:14
Speaker 1: seen the growing pains. I'm sure when you talk about
11:16
Speaker 1: the growing pains as well, what are you hoping to
11:19
Speaker 1: kind of see evolve as the season goes along. As
11:21
Speaker 1: they're getting used to the new system.
11:24
Speaker 5: Really, they just need to play faster.
11:26
Speaker 8: I think everything just needs to look a lot faster
11:30
Speaker 8: and a lot effortless.
11:31
Speaker 5: I think guys are still out there thinking too much.
11:34
Speaker 8: Whether it comes down to, you know, the right assignments
11:38
Speaker 8: in terms of Ash of Gendi going through the right
11:40
Speaker 8: reads you know when he's running the ball, or you know,
11:42
Speaker 8: the blocking coming together and making sure that they're all
11:44
Speaker 8: collectively doing what they got to do to make sure
11:47
Speaker 8: that the pass blocking, you know, is syncd up with
11:51
Speaker 8: Gino Smith and then the run blocking is synced up
11:53
Speaker 8: with Ash and Raheem. I think there's a lot of
11:55
Speaker 8: things like that that.
11:56
Speaker 5: Just need to be cleaned up moving forward.
11:59
Speaker 8: And it's still a lot of time left in this season,
12:02
Speaker 8: so I'm looking forward to it. But it's gonna be
12:05
Speaker 8: difficult against the Jags defense this week that I feel
12:08
Speaker 8: is pretty impressive. Devin Lloyd, who's a Defensive Player of
12:11
Speaker 8: the Year candidate right now. Strong defensive line with Josh
12:14
Speaker 8: Allen and Eric Armstead and treymon Walker.
12:17
Speaker 5: I really like those guys up front.
12:18
Speaker 8: That front seven for the Jaguars are tough, so they're
12:21
Speaker 8: really going to have to all be on the same
12:22
Speaker 8: accord going into this game, or they can make life
12:25
Speaker 8: really difficult for Geno and Ashen.
12:28
Speaker 1: What have you seen from the defense so far? Obviously
12:29
Speaker 1: Max Crosby is always a name that people key in on,
12:32
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, rushing the passer or stopping the run.
12:35
Speaker 1: But what have you seen from the defense so far
12:37
Speaker 1: this season?
12:39
Speaker 8: I think the defense has played fairly well in some parts.
12:44
Speaker 8: I think that they've been kind of screwed over a
12:46
Speaker 8: little bit with really bad field position at times. I
12:49
Speaker 8: think offensively, you know, when you have so many turnovers,
12:52
Speaker 8: you get on the field and you're just kind of
12:54
Speaker 8: like straggling along, you know, in your territory or special teams,
12:58
Speaker 8: whether a block punt or a bad field you know,
13:02
Speaker 8: whether you allow a really big kicker punt return, that
13:05
Speaker 8: can also factor in. So I think the defense have
13:08
Speaker 8: been kind of like a ben but don't break unit
13:10
Speaker 8: where they are still trying to figure out like, Okay, well,
13:14
Speaker 8: you know we're putting these bad situations on the field,
13:17
Speaker 8: but we still got to come out and we got
13:18
Speaker 8: to do our job and limit it from.
13:19
Speaker 5: The three or zero points at all.
13:22
Speaker 8: I think there's only been a couple of times this
13:25
Speaker 8: season the Colts and the Chiefs game that we saw
13:29
Speaker 8: where the defense just did not come to show up.
13:31
Speaker 5: They just did not play good football.
13:33
Speaker 8: But I think every other game this year you could
13:35
Speaker 8: point to young guys stepping up and really playing good ball. Obviously,
13:38
Speaker 8: Max Crosby's doing his thing and he's going to continue
13:41
Speaker 8: doing this thing.
13:41
Speaker 5: He's Max Crosby.
13:42
Speaker 8: But you see some other guys like Eric Stokes, Devin White,
13:46
Speaker 8: Jonah Lalu, who's tied with Max for the team leading sacks.
13:50
Speaker 8: You see some guys like that really stepping up and
13:52
Speaker 8: doing some cool things. So I think the defense for
13:55
Speaker 8: the most part, has played as well as they can
13:58
Speaker 8: considering the circumstances put in.
14:01
Speaker 1: All right, if you could give us one or two
14:02
Speaker 1: X factors, who are two names that you kind of
14:04
Speaker 1: have your eye on if the Raiders want to get
14:06
Speaker 1: a win this weekend.
14:09
Speaker 5: Well it has to start off with Geno Smith.
14:12
Speaker 8: Obviously, Geno Smith is the head of the Snake and
14:15
Speaker 8: he's a guy that is uncharacteristically not playing up to
14:19
Speaker 8: the standard of what we know he can play at
14:21
Speaker 8: what we saw in Seattle. And there's a lot of
14:25
Speaker 8: factors behind it, you know, with the offensive line and
14:28
Speaker 8: having young receivers who you know are not as experienced
14:31
Speaker 8: as you're used to. But I think Geno Smith, if
14:33
Speaker 8: he can come out and he can play the game
14:35
Speaker 8: that he needs to play, then I feel like everything
14:39
Speaker 8: else will take care of itself, especially with Broad coming
14:41
Speaker 8: back and another guy on defense that I would name
14:43
Speaker 8: as an X factor's a guy like Eric Stokes at corner,
14:47
Speaker 8: because now you have to play lockdown on.
14:50
Speaker 5: Brian Thomas Junior.
14:51
Speaker 8: And I know Brian Thomas Junior hasn't been having the
14:53
Speaker 8: most exceptional season compared to what we saw him do
14:56
Speaker 8: his rookie year when he tore up Allegian had a great,
14:59
Speaker 8: you know, rookie of the Rookie of the Year.
15:01
Speaker 5: Finalist type of season.
15:04
Speaker 8: But he's still a good receiver, and Eric Stokes is
15:07
Speaker 8: going to have to make sure that he does his
15:08
Speaker 8: job and really lock that down. Especially now on the
15:11
Speaker 8: opposite side you have Travis Hunter, and so now it's
15:14
Speaker 8: one of those things you just can't game plan for
15:16
Speaker 8: this one receiver as much as you'd like because you
15:19
Speaker 8: have another young boy on the other side that's going
15:21
Speaker 8: to do his thing too, and Kye Blue Kelly is
15:23
Speaker 8: gonna have to worry about that on the other side, So,
15:26
Speaker 8: I think Eric Stokes has been playing really good football.
15:28
Speaker 8: If you look at what he's been doing statistically, he's
15:30
Speaker 8: been having a great season. And Brian Thomas Jr. Is
15:33
Speaker 8: going to be another great challenge for him going into
15:35
Speaker 8: this game. So I think those two guys are going
15:37
Speaker 8: to be ex factors for us.
15:38
Speaker 1: A lot of good stuff. Leeb I, thank you so much,
15:40
Speaker 1: look forward to see you on Sunday.
15:42
Speaker 5: Thank you. I appreciate it.
15:44

16:10
Speaker 1: We're going to do our best to predict the future
16:12
Speaker 1: as we do on Thursdays. We're going to try to
16:13
Speaker 1: figure out what the headlines will be on Monday morning.
16:16
Speaker 1: After this game in Vegas on Sunday. Brian, what do
16:19
Speaker 1: you think the outcome will be?
16:20
Speaker 4: I'm going wild out West because you've got two teams
16:23
Speaker 4: that are coming off four touchdown losses and the bye
16:27
Speaker 4: week with first year head coaches. Pete Carroll obviously has
16:30
Speaker 4: a long history, and we're just seeing the beginnings of
16:32
Speaker 4: the Liam Cohen program here. I expect both teams to
16:36
Speaker 4: have worked very hard to work on their deficiencies, Like
16:40
Speaker 4: Liam alluded to earlier in the show. I think the
16:43
Speaker 4: Jaguars will run the ball. I expect to see Travis
16:46
Speaker 4: Hunter involved in a big way, and I think the
16:50
Speaker 4: Jaguars win a close one, something like thirty one twenty eight.
16:54
Speaker 4: I mean you'd like to think, Wow, they're two and
16:57
Speaker 4: five and you're not playing all that well.
16:58
Speaker 5: Hey, neither're the Jaguars.
16:59
Speaker 4: So I think it's going to be a shootout, and
17:01
Speaker 4: I expect the Draguars to find a way to win.
17:04
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's gonna be close.
17:06
Speaker 7: I think it's gonna be a little lower scoring than
17:07
Speaker 7: that because the Jaguars haven't showed that they can get
17:09
Speaker 7: to thirty. Uh so let's hope that they can. I
17:13
Speaker 7: went with Viva Viva the run, and I wish that
17:20
Speaker 7: I had gone with Viva the takeaway, but I wanted
17:23
Speaker 7: to use Travis Atn as the picture, so I couldn't
17:25
Speaker 7: go to takeaway because they're not gonna eat takeaways unless
17:27
Speaker 7: something weird happened. No, I'm I'm talking about it a
17:32
Speaker 7: lot more than I thought about it, thought a dozen exactly.
17:37
Speaker 7: But they need takeaways and they need to run. Think
17:42
Speaker 7: about the formula they had and how they checked every
17:45
Speaker 7: box against Carolina in Week one coming out of the bye.
17:48
Speaker 7: To me, they need another box check game where they
17:51
Speaker 7: get what you know.
17:51
Speaker 6: They need to be more physical.
17:53
Speaker 7: They need to take the ball away, and I think
17:55
Speaker 7: being more physical will get us to Viva a run.
17:59
Speaker 6: Viva a run.
18:00
Speaker 1: All right, here's my final. Las Vegas pun play their
18:03
Speaker 1: cards right here we go.
18:05
Speaker 6: Yeah, see cards.
18:07
Speaker 1: I will not be anywhere near casino, So.
18:09
Speaker 6: So say I stayed away from the game leads topic.
18:10
Speaker 9: This way, Environ.
18:11
Speaker 6: We already got the speeches.
18:12
Speaker 1: We're not going anywhere near casino. I think the team
18:15
Speaker 1: a lot of you know what they talked about self
18:16
Speaker 1: inflicted blood. Right, If they go out there, they play
18:18
Speaker 1: well on paper, they are a better team. They should
18:21
Speaker 1: win this football game. There's a reason you play the games.
18:23
Speaker 1: They go out there and they can limit their penalties,
18:26
Speaker 1: like John said, get a takeaway, establish the run. They
18:29
Speaker 1: should win this football game. Now we have to see
18:32
Speaker 1: them do it. So if they can play their cards right,
18:34
Speaker 1: I think they should definitely go out there, get a
18:36
Speaker 1: win and start the second half of the season off.
18:37
Speaker 6: Of the right foot.
18:38
Speaker 5: Liam talked about it.
18:39
Speaker 4: If you're going to do that, you better practice well, right.
18:42
Speaker 4: You better have a really good day on the practice
18:43
Speaker 4: field today and tomorrow. You better focus on those things
18:47
Speaker 4: that they've talked about. But the practice field leads to
18:50
Speaker 4: the playing field on Sunday, So hopefully he's getting what
18:53
Speaker 4: he's asking from his players, which was the theme of
18:55
Speaker 4: his press conference on Wednesday.
18:57
Speaker 1: So an opportunity and hopefully it is a good one
18:59
Speaker 1: that they take advantage of.
19:01
Speaker 6: So stay with us here.
19:02
Speaker 1: Coming back after break, we'll tell you what's going on
19:04
Speaker 1: the rest of the week. Exam brought to by mister
19:13
Speaker 1: Chubbies Here on your Jaguars as they traveled to Vegas.
19:16
Speaker 1: Stick on the Raiders This Sunday, the official away game
19:18
Speaker 1: watch party takes place at mister Chubby's West Side location.
19:23
Speaker 1: This weekend and then also today's episode brought to you
19:25
Speaker 1: by Field's Auto Groups, the Field first acting with Premier
19:28
Speaker 1: Luxury Auto Group go to Fields Auto dot Com. So
19:32
Speaker 1: it's a little bit different this week because it's Flora, Georgia.
19:35
Speaker 1: So the team's gonna head out early on Saturday, very early,
19:38
Speaker 1: and get to Las Vegas. And Liam Cohen was pretty
19:41
Speaker 1: upfront about the schedule. When they get there, there will
19:43
Speaker 1: be no trips to the casino, staying far away from that.
19:45
Speaker 6: They're gonna do.
19:46
Speaker 1: Walk through at a local high school and team meetings
19:48
Speaker 1: all day. But Brian, as you mentioned, a lot of
19:50
Speaker 1: the focus has to be on today's practice and kind
19:53
Speaker 1: of Friday a little bit as well as just getting
19:55
Speaker 1: on the same page.
19:55
Speaker 4: Well, I do think that's the case, and I also
19:57
Speaker 4: think that's Saturday. The advantage to going out there and
20:00
Speaker 4: getting a walk through out there is a little more
20:03
Speaker 4: acclimatization and a little bit more focus on those things
20:07
Speaker 4: that we've all talked about this week, and you know,
20:12
Speaker 4: running the ball and knowing where Max Crosby is, I mean,
20:15
Speaker 4: all of them. It gives you one more opportunity as
20:17
Speaker 4: opposed to practicing here, getting on the plane, losing your distraction.
20:20
Speaker 4: I think it's a perfect week for.
20:22
Speaker 5: Them to go early.
20:23
Speaker 7: Yeah, you hope, And I don't know why they wouldn't
20:28
Speaker 7: field real urgency. This is you know, there's a big
20:31
Speaker 7: difference in this league between five and three and.
20:33
Speaker 6: Four and four.
20:33
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, in other sports, not a big deal.
20:36
Speaker 7: Seventeen games get to five and three. It's me a
20:39
Speaker 7: huge difference coming back five and three and.
20:41
Speaker 6: Four and four. This is a big one.
20:42
Speaker 4: I also think this is a game where you prove
20:44
Speaker 4: to everybody not the same old Jacks, right. I've heard
20:47
Speaker 4: that the last two weeks since the loss in London
20:49
Speaker 4: and how it seemed like it was the same old Jacks,
20:51
Speaker 4: and those of us who are around here and understand
20:53
Speaker 4: what Tony Boselli and James Gladstone and Liam Cohen have done,
20:56
Speaker 4: understand that it's a different program entirely. This would seem
20:59
Speaker 4: to be a game where you could prove that to
21:00
Speaker 4: people by going and winning a game that most people
21:03
Speaker 4: think you should win but won't be an easy game
21:05
Speaker 4: at all.
21:06
Speaker 5: So I think that this is bigger than just that.
21:08
Speaker 4: I think this is about winning, and it's about the
21:11
Speaker 4: effect of the win being confidence.
21:13
Speaker 5: In your fan base.
21:14
Speaker 1: A huge opportunity to instill some confidence in the fan base. Also,
21:17
Speaker 1: if you want to make a playoff push, you bet
21:19
Speaker 1: you definitely need this win. So we will be out
21:22
Speaker 1: in Vegas for the game. Of course, we'll have your
21:23
Speaker 1: post game coverage on Jaguars dot com Jaguars YouTube. Will
21:26
Speaker 1: be back here in jag XAM on Tuesday to enjoy
21:28
Speaker 1: the game.
21:28
Speaker 6: Enjoy your weekend.
