Previewing Week 4 vs. 49ers With Fred Taylor, Arik Armstead and More · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We have arrived at week four. J P.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: Shatwick with you, and now time for our interviews for
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: Countdown to kick off on the Jaguars Radio Network, and
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: we start this week with Pride of the Jaguars running
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: back Fred Taylor.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good matchup. I think it's a great
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: match up here. You have a team that's three and ohero.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: They've had some early adversity. A lot of their you know,
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: superstar players, guys they depend on or either have been
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: banged up or either or out for the season are
• 0:26
  Speaker 3: going to miss, you know, a nice collection of games here.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: So this is a team that's in the locker room saying, hey,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: next man up, we got to be.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Ready to play.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: And you insure a Jaguars team who's starting to build
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: on that confidence.
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: They had a small hiccup in week two.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: I think they found their groove in week three and
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: I think they're developing identity.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: As well along the way.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: So they want to go back and do a lot
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: the same thing they did a week ago. Let's play
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: great defense and give the opportunity to give the offense
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: an opportunity a chance to start to catch up and
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: match their energy. But the good thing is you see
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: some resemblance of a team who is very confident and
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: who believes they can win.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Fred.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: You touched on the injuries. They got quarterback questions coming
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: into the week. The wide receivers have been dinged up.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: But you know one guy who's going to be out
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: there is Christian McCaffrey. What do you like about his game?
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Everything?
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's the easiest way to sum it up,
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: but just to give you some detail, I mean, he
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: catches the ball well. If you can look at the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: early season statistics, he's one of their leading receivers, as
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: he is every year as long as he's healthy. That's
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: the asterisk next to Christian's name. I know he has
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: some early preseason injury where he didn't go much, but
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: he's out there. He's dependable when he is out there,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: and they're going to look to get him the ball.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: You know, they're not going to hesitate to throw him
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: the ball. In the pass game, whether it's check down
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: or routes by design, he's gonna get his touches. And
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: then when he's running the ball, he's very elusive, has
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: great vision. He's not a huge back, but he's a
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: strong back. He understands how to make himself explosive, and
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: that's just true being decisive and his ability and that
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: comes by way of vision. So Christian is a total package.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: He's been that way for several years.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know how Carolina let him go. I think
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: in order.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: To be a great running back in his league, you
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: have to convince a team to trade you allah a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: year ago, and you have to go to another place
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and show them your worth and value. And Christian has
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: done that ever since he stepped foot in San Francisco.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: So not gonna be an easy defense.
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Certainly, the best back that they faced all year, you know,
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: last week was Nick Tubb coming off injury, and he's
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: shown some signs of in his return from injury. But
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: Christian is a whole, entirely different monster. So it'd be
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: a good challenge for the defense.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: And then they got a fullback Kyle Uschek, who they've
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: used all over this offense.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never heard of that guy. Fullbacks don't exist.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: The only fullback I know is Greg Jones, and that's
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: the only one that ever mattered.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The rest of those guys can go and be fullbacks,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: and you know, live this this secret life because there
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: they don't really exist in the NFL no more. I
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: mean they have a fullback here and there, but it's like,
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: you know, like the F position, the tight end, tight
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: end two. Those guys are multitaskers and they get it done.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: So fullback I don't believe it's a real thing. They're
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: like unicorns. Stand corrected.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: Fred Taylor with us prut of the Jaguars running back.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Let's go to defense, shall we. It's Robert solid defense.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: So he's back, he's running. He's called the players in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: San Francisco. But know Nick Bosa, how big a loss
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: is this for San.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Fred It's a huge loss.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think when you take Detroit for example,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: you know, and you look at Aiden Hutchison and when
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: he got injured the year ago, that defense sort of
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: got radiled and they kind of lost their way.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: He's that same leader you know on that defense.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: He's there, TJ Watt, you know he's there JJ Watt,
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: you know he's Nick Bosa.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: I mean, what else can you can you say?
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: He's been you know, the heartbeat of that defense for
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: for years.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: You know, they still have Fred out there and he's
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a leader.
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: But Nick Bosa is just the guy that you have
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: to make sure he's accounted for each and every play.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: You have to alter your game plan, you have to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: send running backs out the chip to make sure he
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't get going.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: It's a huge loss for them.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I'm sure they're going to find a way to try
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: and fill the void, which is going to be a
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: big task. Luckily for us, he's not present, you know,
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: and we'll take it. You know, we'll take And that's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: just the nature of the NFL. Man guys are in
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: and out, and it's timing. You see, mac Jones has
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: potential PCL and Brock is supposed to return here and
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: you know he's had some injuries where he missed the
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: game or two, and you know, just fortunately it's the
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: matchup regardless of who's out there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the coaches are.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Saying, you gotta go and get this win and get
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: back on the East Coast, get ready for a Monday
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: night game.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Fred Taylor with us, all right, how do you fix
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: the drop issue for the Jags receivers.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You gotta keep giving them the ball.
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: You got to just continue to go back to him
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: and you know, show them that you're still confident in them.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: What else are you going to do?
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: You got to just keep throwing it and hope that
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: they catch more than they drop. I hope that they
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: catch the ones that they're supposed to catch in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: crunch time. Hopefully these guys have been, you know, taking
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: it amongst themself. Else to do additional drugs after practice,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: to do additional route running after practice. I mean, that's
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: what pros do. They take ownership, They find a way.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: That's the best thing I could say, man is find
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: a way give it to them. Until they start put.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Some super blue on their chest, I don't know. Jp
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: they better catch the ball.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: This personality, this defense is starting to show. They're getting
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: after the quarterback.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Maybe not in.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: Sack numbers, but the pressures are there, the takeaways are there.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: They lead the league with nine. You know this is
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: a good start, right. What's next for this defense?
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: Just to build on it. You know, you want to
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: build consistency. You know, I do know that preparation, proper preparation.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: It gives you opportunity to be disciplined. And once you
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: when preparation meets discipline, consistency goes from there and then
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: success follows. So you know they prepared, They've spoken about that.
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: We're starting to see discipline. You know, a few you know,
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: mental errors here and there throughout the course of the game,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: but that's okay. And even the penalties defensively, the penalties
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: hadn't been there, you know.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: The penalties that we're seeing. The bulk of the penalties.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Are from the offensive side of the ball, which is
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: the weirdest thing for me.
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: The offensive job is more focused and mental than than
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: than the physical stuff.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: Defense. You have to be physical, you have to display effort, and.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: They're flying around and they're doing all these things and
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: they're loving it. So I think consistency and what they're
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: doing will be the next thing. And once they hone
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: in on that and lock it down, they're going to
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: be a defense that all the offenses in the NFL
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: are gonna not want to play or they're going to
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: make sure they bring their they bring their a game
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: to face this game.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to this matchup. It'll be a
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: great challenge.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: Or you have a solid quarterback and party, you have
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: a solid running back and Christian McCaffrey. Uh, you have
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: a slewer receivers that you have to you know, prepare for.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: I like the jab to make it back home with
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a window. Just looking at the overall matchup. I'm not
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: locking anything or doing that stuff. No predictions, but just
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: me being me, just looking at the matchup as I
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: see it right now. It seems based on how the
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: Jags have performed and looking at the opponents that the
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: forty nine ers play, I would call it Jacksonville. And
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: that's outside of being a Homer, I would still call
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: it Jacksonville.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: If they have executed, they would be three and zero
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: right now, and if they execute going ahead, they should
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: beat a lot of teams, especially a team is injured
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: as the San Francisco forty nine ers.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: So go take advantage of it.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Fred, always a pleasure to visit with you, and we'll
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: do it again in the post game.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Likewise, next time my AI agent is going to show
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: up and do just sit down with you.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna show you how to program that you know
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: a little bit, you know working on that.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Does the AI agent have sleeves or no?
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: You know what? He had guns? You? Yeah? Well, you
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: know what, he has a nice big biceams. I would
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: say that, you know twenty twenty five. Yeah, be careful
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: what you're saying great to see you, Fred, Thanks all right.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Defensive tackle Eric Armstead is facing his former team this
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: week and caught up with Brian Section in the locker room.
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: A little bit different leaving on Saturdays and they're trying
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: to keep our body clock on schedule the best we can.
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: We went played in Vegas last year somewhat similar, so yeah,
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: just do the best you can.
• 9:36
  Speaker 5: Going home?
• 9:36
  Speaker 6: Does that feel like home?
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: Still not really home.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: I'm from Sacramento, but going to a place I've been
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: for extremely all the time and you know, had a
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: lot of memories there, so I'm excited about the opportunity
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: to go out there and get our first road win.
• 9:54
  Speaker 5: A lot of success as well.
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: Although the team that you came here with two years ago,
• 9:58
  Speaker 6: there's only two guys left them at the defense now
• 10:00
  Speaker 6: that that Nick is injured. Things change so fast in
• 10:03
  Speaker 6: this league. Is It's just part of business now, isn't it.
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: Things do change fast.
• 10:09
  Speaker 4: It is a part of the sport. But a thing
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: that I remind younger players is that all you really
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: have in this is your experiences and your memories and
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: that bond that you have with the people you do
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: work with. You know that never leave so make sure
• 10:26
  Speaker 4: that you cherish share those moments.
• 10:28
  Speaker 6: Uh, you're off to a great start, and the defensive
• 10:31
  Speaker 6: tackles in particular are playing very well. The run numbers
• 10:33
  Speaker 6: say that, but the pass rush numbers as well. Why
• 10:35
  Speaker 6: are you having success with your pass rush in the
• 10:37
  Speaker 6: middle of this defense this year?
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Us what I.
• 10:41
  Speaker 4: Do best at a high level and study my opponents
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: and try to go out there and execute my game
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: plan and you know, let the let the rest fall
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: into place.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Larry Krueger of K and BR Radio in San Francisco
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: has the forty nine ers perspective, starting with an offense
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: doing just enough good question.
• 10:57
  Speaker 7: Really, I mean, they're just it's just been good enough.
• 11:00
  Speaker 7: It's not like they're doing anything.
• 11:02
  Speaker 8: They have not.
• 11:03
  Speaker 7: Hit their stride. They're just, you know, they're operating a
• 11:05
  Speaker 7: probably forty percent of capacity. But Ricky Piersoll has stepped
• 11:09
  Speaker 7: up and Christian McCaffrey has stepped up. They still have
• 11:12
  Speaker 7: Trent Williams, and they've gotten really really good quarterback play.
• 11:15
  Speaker 7: Both Brock Purty and Mac Jones can process and they're accurate,
• 11:20
  Speaker 7: They play on time, they make good decisions. I think
• 11:23
  Speaker 7: a lot of it too, is you know, it's been
• 11:25
  Speaker 7: mac Jones the last couple of weeks, and I think
• 11:27
  Speaker 7: Kyle Shanahan is seeing the traits that he liked in
• 11:31
  Speaker 7: mac Jones. I'm sure it's probably got to be very
• 11:35
  Speaker 7: gratifying for Kyle Shanahan to see mac Jones and his
• 11:38
  Speaker 7: offense flourish like this.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Christian McCaffrey, of course dual threat and has the most
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: touches in the NFL. Is that sustainable long run? Is
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: he back to his prime right here? Or does he
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: need help around him?
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't.
• 11:52
  Speaker 7: I don't think it could be sustainable. He's on a
• 11:54
  Speaker 7: ridiculous rate pace. They'll use more Brian Robinson, but they
• 11:59
  Speaker 7: haven't thus far. Maybe it's just because brought Robinson's new
• 12:02
  Speaker 7: but they're just leaning heavily on Christian because they're doing
• 12:05
  Speaker 7: whatever they can to win games early in the year.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Larry Krueger with us kb A Radio, San Francisco. Trent
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: Williams has been at it for sixteen years in the league.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: What about his game and the way he goes about
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: his business brings confidence to this offensive line?
• 12:21
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean he's just such a dominant guy. I
• 12:23
  Speaker 7: mean they can slide everything away from him and allow
• 12:27
  Speaker 7: him to go one on one and just know that
• 12:30
  Speaker 7: he's going to get the job done. I mean, that's
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: really the effect of Trent Williams, as you can slide
• 12:34
  Speaker 7: everything away from him and just know that he'll stand
• 12:38
  Speaker 7: up on the island against the best players in the league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 7: Now he's for his first game in Week one. He
• 12:44
  Speaker 7: was he didn't play a lot this summer. He was rusty,
• 12:46
  Speaker 7: He allowed I think six pressures. It was not one
• 12:49
  Speaker 7: of his finest efforts. And then it got kind of
• 12:51
  Speaker 7: annoying listening to the people going, you know, highlighting, how
• 12:55
  Speaker 7: you know this awesome, incredible player, Hall of Famer, you know,
• 12:58
  Speaker 7: it's highlight is down game And I think he didn't
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: like hearing it because he came back. The last two
• 13:04
  Speaker 7: games have just been spectacular, and he's playing with a
• 13:07
  Speaker 7: bone bruise on the knee. It's pretty painful. He's not
• 13:11
  Speaker 7: practicing much, but he's the guy's a force.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: LA.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Let's get to defense now, know Nick Bosa, what does
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: this mean for the edge players now for the Niners
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: and what do they have to offer without him there?
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean as far as how they're gonna do it,
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: I guess we're gonna have to figure that out together.
• 13:30
  Speaker 7: But I would say my guess is that you tear
• 13:32
  Speaker 7: Gross Maatos, who's played inside in their you know, third
• 13:36
  Speaker 7: down nickel package. I think he now is going to
• 13:39
  Speaker 7: play outside full time, and I think you're still gonna
• 13:42
  Speaker 7: see I don't think they're gonna ask Michel to do
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: anything different, but I think they may ask Gross Matos
• 13:47
  Speaker 7: to be that edge setter and that replacement for Bosa.
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: As far as their options within the roster, they have
• 13:53
  Speaker 7: Robert Beel and Trevis Gibson on the practice squad. Gibson
• 13:58
  Speaker 7: did have seven sacks with the Bear, I think in
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: twenty to one or twenty, so he's a decent rusher
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: and he had a real good summer. So I would
• 14:04
  Speaker 7: imagine they'll promote one, if not both of those guys,
• 14:07
  Speaker 7: and then they may look around in a couple of
• 14:09
  Speaker 7: weeks at trade candidates, at practice squad options around the league.
• 14:13
  Speaker 7: I think they'll be aggressive because they you know, Bose
• 14:16
  Speaker 7: is a loss.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: What is the field defensively with this team? What is
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: their identity?
• 14:20
  Speaker 7: Well, I mean there's just a lot faster on all
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: three levels defensively than they were a year ago. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 7: mean de Winters and Fred Warner are playing at a
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: ridiculous level.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They're really good.
• 14:29
  Speaker 7: And then mckel and Huff. Mickel Williams and Bryce Huff
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: has given their front line more speed, and then Upton
• 14:35
  Speaker 7: Stout and Marquis Siegel, the rookies and their secondary have
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: given their secondary more speed. So it's a much faster
• 14:41
  Speaker 7: defense than it was a year ago on all three levels.
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: But it's also a young defense that's gonna make mistakes
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: and probably could be tricked and fooled in certain situations.
• 14:52
  Speaker 7: So there's growing pains. But Robert Salas blitzing about twenty
• 14:55
  Speaker 7: five are about twenty two percent of the time, which
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: is up his previous hint here, but it's all based
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: on his personnel, and now I would imagine that number
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: will continue to climb without Nick Bosa.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: And finally, defensive backs coach for the Jaguars Ron Milas
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: with Brian Sexton. Starting with the impact of cornerback Jordan Lewis.
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: I think it was important in the offseason that we
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: earmarked a couple of guys that we really wanted, and
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: Jordan Lewis was one of him, and then Eric Murray
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: was another, and those two guys have made a huge
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: difference in our maturity and how we go about our business.
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: They brought a sense of calm. You can say to
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: our group.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: You can tell when you talk to Jordan in particular,
• 15:35
  Speaker 6: that the expectation the standard ron is very, very high.
• 15:39
  Speaker 6: Did you get that talking to him in his free
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: agent visitor? Did you know him from previous places?
• 15:43
  Speaker 8: Everything that we had heard that that was the kind
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: of guy that we were going to get, And you
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: know what, we got that kind of guy. The one
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: thing he's able to do, he holds him accountable. He
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: holds himself accountably, accountable the players and ap myself, making
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: sure we're on point as well.
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: You know, you're never guaranteed with what you're going to
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: get in free agency. Once you pay a guy, he
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: comes from one place to another and how he'll mix.
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: But he and Tyson Campbell seem to have a really
• 16:08
  Speaker 6: interesting dynamic between them. They get along, they fit, their
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: personalities are so different.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: Well, here's what I'll say about that, he's gravitated to
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: a couple of guys. Jarian Jones spent the summer with him,
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: So he's kind of been the big brother to a
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: lot of guys. And he's a big brother to Tyson.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: He's a big brother to Jarian and too really are
• 16:26
  Speaker 8: to our whole group.
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: So I give a lot of credit to how.
• 16:29
  Speaker 8: He goes about his business, not saying it's all him,
• 16:31
  Speaker 8: because again, Eric is that same way. Everything is very
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: serious with both of those guys.
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: Eric and Dewey in the secondary both had interceptions in
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: the game against Cincinnati. You've got nine interceptions in three games.
• 16:43
  Speaker 6: That's an unheard of total around Jacksonville. Doesn't happen that
• 16:46
  Speaker 6: often in the NFL.
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Well, I think there our guys that have really caught
• 16:50
  Speaker 8: to the things that Campanelli's been talking about.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: It's all about what the ball.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: And really we've been able to capitalize on our opportunities.
• 17:00
  Speaker 8: And a lot of times what happens when you're not
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: getting interceptions, you're probably missing out on opportunities, and.
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: Thus far we've been able to capitalize.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: And tell me about Tyson in particular last week, he
• 17:11
  Speaker 6: gives up the touchdown, then he causes the fumble, and
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: then he makes the huge play on Nico Collins on
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: the first play of their game winning attempt. Right, tell
• 17:19
  Speaker 6: me about what it takes for a player to bounce
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: back that quickly.
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: That's exactly what I said doing this. That was outstanding
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: to be able to come back from something like that,
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: whereas we give up a quick strike and a sudden change,
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: and the comeback knowing that the fact that they are
• 17:33
  Speaker 8: probably going to come right back to you, and being
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: able to make two quality plays to cause a fumble
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: there in scoring position, you could say, and then they
• 17:42
  Speaker 8: take another shot on and he makes another play. So
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: I love the fact that he was able to forget
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: the mistake and bounce back from it and have a positive,
• 17:51
  Speaker 8: positive impact on what happened at the end.
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: You've got some young players who are starting to rise.
• 17:56
  Speaker 6: Antonio Johnson last week, the week that you released during
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: El Savage, here he comes and he made a game
• 18:00
  Speaker 6: ceiling interception. You could get Monterrek Brown back pretty soon.
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: You have a not an embarrassment of riches, but you
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: have some depth.
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: Well, I'm going to say this, Anthony Perkins does an
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: outstanding job with Antonio, and Antonio is he's in the
• 18:14
  Speaker 8: office in the morning every day trying to get the
• 18:17
  Speaker 8: little bits and pieces that's going to push him over
• 18:20
  Speaker 8: the top on game day. So you could say this,
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: the guys have gravitated to what it takes to be
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: a pro, and you're starting to see those things.
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: You've been in this league for twenty five years college
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: before that. How much fun is it for you to
• 18:34
  Speaker 6: step in in year one and see a team come
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: together in the first couple of weeks and play the
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: way you want them to play.
• 18:39
  Speaker 8: It's always important, especially if you're new to an organization
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: or new to a group, to really come in and
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: see the things that you talk about. Really what camp
• 18:48
  Speaker 8: Nelly leads our group, see the things that he is
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: he's demanding actually show up on game day.
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: And I think that's important.
• 18:57
  Speaker 8: It's not just one guy, our leaders, Anthony Campanelli, and
• 19:01
  Speaker 8: we've got a couple of guys that have been around
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: the block a couple of times, meaning in the back end,
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: that have helped UH with the message. And I think
• 19:09
  Speaker 8: that anytime you can have that, you have a chance.
• 19:11
  Speaker 6: How about a final thought about what those guys up
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: front are giving you. I mean to see Josh and
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: Trayvon pushing the pocket. Really it's a cornerback and a
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: safety's best friend.
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: Well, you know what, when I got here, I knew
• 19:22
  Speaker 8: that we had two quality defensive ends.
• 19:24
  Speaker 5: I didn't realize what kind of quality we have.
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: It does make a big difference when the quarterbacks being
• 19:31
  Speaker 8: harassed and yeah a guy might be open for a
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: step and knowing that the fact that he's probably not
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: going to be able to see it. I mean, you
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: think about the last play of the game, they have
• 19:41
  Speaker 8: that ball get tipped and there's and I want to say,
• 19:44
  Speaker 8: the kid was coming kind of coming open. That tip
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: ball made the made made our day. I know Antonio
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: and capitalized on it, but it really was the.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Rush only three weeks in final thought, what does it
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: take for your group to keep getting better?
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: What do they have to focus on?
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: Well, I think that the just like anything else, it's
• 20:01
  Speaker 8: just the little things and the mistakes that we have made.
• 20:04
  Speaker 8: We just can't make the same mistakes twice. So as
• 20:06
  Speaker 8: long as we are continually trying to get it a
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: little bit better every day, I think the product will
• 20:12
  Speaker 8: be good on the field.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: The Jaguars visit the forty nine Ers Sunday at four
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: h five Eastern. Countdown to kickoff when the Jaguars Radio
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: network starts at three o'clock.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Enjoy the game.
