Jags A.M. Podcast Ep. 121 | Jaguars Want to Win Remains at an All Time High · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome in a jag Zam. I'm Kinannie Stevens, Brian Sexton,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: and John Osier are with me. It's Week fourteen. The
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Daguars are getting ready to take on the Titans for
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the first time this season. They'll actually play them twice
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: in a month. So as we get ready for that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: game on Sunday news coming out about the quarterback, We'll
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: start out with big things, which is shut it down.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: We know the Jaguars are eliminated from postseason potential at
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: this point, and now we know Trevor back. Quarterback Trevor
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: Lawrence is going on ir after suffering a concussion against
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: the Texans and also dealing with that left shoulder injury.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: He's going to be out at least four games, so
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: essentially probably done for the season. One of his teammates
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: speaking about it yesterday.
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: Now, I definitely started the trap he's embraced to, I
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: mean shrubs, being a competitor that he is. I kind
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: of love I was like, Man, I know I'm gonna
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: say this much, but I love you just just send
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: him on that field, just kind of running over and kind.
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Of seeing him like that.
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: I feel like I've never seen that ever. I just
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: kind of hate that, you know, I kind of hate
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: that film because we're button Spurs and we're football player
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: a second, so I just checked up on his mental
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I know everybody else's real style, and I'm just having
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: that he's in a better place mentally and he has.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I told him that you have a daughter, you have
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: a blessing that's coming, So get right, take care of yourself,
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: take care of your family, and we'll be here homing
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: down fleet and wait till you get that next year.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: Friend.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: We talked about this as a possibility. Not a huge
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: surprise to his teammates, not a huge surprise to us.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: Is this the right thing to be doing at this point?
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: It wasn't a normal hit. It was a severe hit
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: with the forearm to the neck, and it had I
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: don't need to re cast it other than it doesn't.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: The outcome requires a more thoughtful process, right, I mean,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: you've got to look at him and his long term health.
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: You set itself the development of younger players, which is
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: something that we had advocated for with the shoulder. In
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: this case, it gives him the opportunity to recover, to
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: have the shoulder surgery if he chooses to, and to
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: get on with it and not put himself behind the
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: eight ball next May and June asking questions about, hey,
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: when will he be ready to go? He'll be ready
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: to go now.
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you wonder had they been in the playoff chase,
• 2:22
  Speaker 5: you know, if you don't put him on ir and
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: two or three weeks and figure something out with him
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: being out of it. It felt Doug's thoughts on Monday,
• 2:36
  Speaker 5: you could tell they were leaning toward it, and then
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: on on on Wednesday's preticura is going to happen?
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: So right move?
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: Of course, you know we have an example John and
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: that's too a Taitler Bailoo who had that fencing posture again.
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: And how long did the Dolphins citium this year, you know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: four or five games and he was on injured reserve,
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: so the precedent was set. It seemed to be the
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: right thing to do. I tend to think you're right.
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: They probably wouldn't have done it if they were in
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: the playoffs. Just trying to give him a chance to
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: get into January. But this is just such a smart
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: move for the long term health of the quarterback, high
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: and the franchise.
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: And we talked so.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Much about whether he can play through injuries, yes, but
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: also he has to be effective out there, and I
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: think at this point, with both those injuries combined, he
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be able to be very effective. We'll go
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to our second big thing today, which is motivation. You're
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: not in the playoff hunt, your quarterback, the starting quarterback
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: not available team now, So how do you stay motivated
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: out there? That coach Doug Peterson says that's on him, because.
• 3:29
  Speaker 6: That's that's up to me. That's up to me to
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: make sure that these guys don't, you know, throw in
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: a towel white the way you know, wave the white flag,
• 3:38
  Speaker 6: you know, So that's on me to make sure that
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: that doesn't happen. And I want what that happened and too.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: You know, we got great leadership, you know in that
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: locker room, and I'll lean on those guys to.
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: Help me in that John.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: It's easier said than done. Obviously, it's on coach Peterson
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: to keep them motivated. But how do you do that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: at this point?
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: Well, I think they'll be motivated and players motivate themselves.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Doug will motivate And I talked to Evin Ingram for
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: the ozone podcast and he assured and was very said, look,
• 4:07
  Speaker 5: I've been on teams that have quit.
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: His team's not going to quit. They won't. But it
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: ultra highly competitive sports.
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: There's a little bit at the top where you do
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: wonder if they'll have that from ninety nine to one
• 4:25
  Speaker 5: hundred Brian motivation to finish that they'll try, The effort
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: will be there, they will be a professional, but there
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: is an inner adrenaline.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: When you know what it's about. When it's not there,
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: it'll be at least that much different.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: So I talked to christ Rashard, the Jaguars defensive backfield coach,
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: this week, and I realized that what Doug has is
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: a staff full of highly motivated coaches. The motivation comes
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: from within for all of us. No matter what we do,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we have to want to be our best. But Doug
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: will create the environment in the meeting room, on the
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: practice field, on the airplane, wherever this team is that
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: the standard is still the same. That's the important part
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: here is that the standard is to play to a
• 5:07
  Speaker 4: level of performance, whether we're in the playoffs or not.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: And then John, that thing that motivates these players is
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: the money. You're not going to get paid in this league.
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: If personnel, guys and coaches think that you quit, that
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: you're not willing when it's tough to put in the
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: extra effort. So it is always on tape, and kai
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: the tape doesn't lie, these guys will be motivated to
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: be their best because it's where they get their money from.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Our final big thing today is backup plan. They're going
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: to go the rest of the way with Mac Jones
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: at least to start. He started two games already, He's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: played two and a half, looked better in the second
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: half against the Texans, so he's finally feeling more like himself.
• 5:45
  Speaker 7: The people that know me know, you know, I love
• 5:47
  Speaker 7: this game, love that fun, and I feel like I
• 5:49
  Speaker 7: did that times on Sunday and I'm going to carry
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: that to the next game here and hopefully the guys
• 5:55
  Speaker 7: around around me know that, I think since I've been here,
• 5:58
  Speaker 7: just they know when I'm in the huddle it's about
• 6:00
  Speaker 7: having fun and let him lose. So that's what I'm
• 6:02
  Speaker 7: gonna do.
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: Again, Ryan Max having a little fun, playing better, no
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: pressure on him at this point. Yes, there's no playoff
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: run in the future. We saw that connection Parker Washington
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: getting better. Is there better things ahead for him.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I think so, Doug said when I asked him the
• 6:18
  Speaker 4: same question. Yes, he thought so. Look to go back
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: to the motivation side, Mac is the perfect example. Mac
• 6:23
  Speaker 4: is highly motivated right now to go out and play
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: his best ball. He would like to get another contract
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: as contract ends this year the Jaguars did not pick
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: up the fifth year option. Whether it's here in a
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: supporting role or somewhere else hoping to get a chance
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: to play. Mac is highly motivated to play his best
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: football these final five weeks. Now, if it works out,
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: the way he performs on the practice field, in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: meeting rooms, the way he communicates with his teammates, we'll
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: give him an opportunity to get the best from them
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: as well. So I'm excited to watch Mack then the
• 6:56
  Speaker 4: next five weeks, and primarily John because of the way
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: he played in the fourth court. His first two performances
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: against the Vikings and Lions did not leave a lot
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: to feel good about, but the fourth quarter last week did,
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: and so from that perspective it should be entertaining maybe
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: interesting as well.
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, he showed signs of life. The offense showed and
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: signs of life. That's our storyline now, so Mac Jones,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: all the people we've been talking about, Mason Smith, Ordine Jefferson,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: all of these veterans playing for their futures, rookies playing
• 7:28
  Speaker 5: for the future. That's the storyline. I think Mac Jones
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: will play better they did the first two games.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: That's what we're gonna.
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: Watch, all right.
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: We talked a lot of Jacks. We'll talk a little
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: bit about the Titans coming up after the break right
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: here on Jags am sad If this Flori is trusted
• 7:48

  Speaker 1: are on an outlook TODA. We're gonna look at the Titans.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: We haven't played them yet this year, which is kind
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: of crazy to play them twice at this late in
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: the season twice in a couple of weeks here, So
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: we're heading to Nashville on Sunday, and Doug talked a
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: little bit about Will Levis. We've been talking about the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in the division, and he's talked about what
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: he's seen from Will Levis so far.
• 8:18
  Speaker 6: For him young quarterback is in the fact that he's playing,
• 8:21
  Speaker 6: you know, and and getting the bulk of the getting
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: the bulk of the reps and just he's got a
• 8:28
  Speaker 6: he's got a really good arm. He's athletic, you know,
• 8:33
  Speaker 6: and you know, you go back and just watch obviously
• 8:38
  Speaker 6: the three games they won, but there's a lot of
• 8:41
  Speaker 6: games that you know, he's had that team in position
• 8:44
  Speaker 6: to win much like us and and you know, so
• 8:48
  Speaker 6: very similar situation, but he continues to improve. I think
• 8:52
  Speaker 6: he's a great leader on that team. You see that,
• 8:55
  Speaker 6: and uh, you know somebody that two can you know
• 8:59
  Speaker 6: he can he can throw the ball, you know, down
• 9:02
  Speaker 6: the field. You got to get an arm strength, so
• 9:04
  Speaker 6: you know something you got to you gotta be special
• 9:06
  Speaker 6: aware of.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: The Tennessee's in a similar position. Obviously, they're you know
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: three and nine or three and three, three and nine
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: at this point in the season two and ten, So
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: when you're going up against a team that's kind of
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: dealing with a similar issue. Obviously, will Love has missed
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: some games due to injury this year, but they're still
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: trying to figure out exactly what they.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Have at quarterbacks.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: So that's something potentially you can take advantage of we
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: know he likes to throw the ball, interceptions, forcing turnovers.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: That's going to be the way to win. I would have.
• 9:32
  Speaker 4: Mentioned I had a scout tell me that he is
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: a Josh Allen style player. Now he's not the talent
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: level of Josh Allen, but he is a big guy
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: who loves to put the ball way down the field,
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and it sets up everything they do. Giving him Calvin
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: Ridley gave them the chance to really throw the ball
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: deep because you can see the underneath stuff is not fat. Yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: it's not. It's not really what he does all that well.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: And of course they're adapting to an entirely different offensive scheme.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: John gone through the days of number twenty two, pounding
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: it up in the middle, bringing the safety to the
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: line of scrimmage, and you just bomb it over the top.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 10:08
  Speaker 5: I'm still worried about Derek Henry in this game. I
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: still think he'll be a factor somehow. Look to me,
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: Will Levis makes this game very interesting in the sense that, look,
• 10:24
  Speaker 5: Mac Jones is not gonna be the Jaguars quarterback next year.
• 10:26
  Speaker 5: Maybe the backup, but he's not gonna be the guy.
• 10:29
  Speaker 5: Will Levis very much in the last five games of
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: this season, is still playing so that that franchise can
• 10:35
  Speaker 5: figure out what he is if he's their future. They're
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: also playing under a first year head coach, which means
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: every player on that roster knows this is what it
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: is going forward if I want to be a part
• 10:44
  Speaker 5: of it, So they still feel like they have more
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: to play for than the Jags.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: I think it makes it.
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: I think it makes it a really tough matchup on
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: the road.
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: They haven't given up on Will Levis.
• 10:55
  Speaker 5: He has shown signs in the last couple of weeks
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: of maybe still developing into the guy we've sort of
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: been there before in the past, right of sort of
• 11:03
  Speaker 5: not quite knowing.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: That's why they are with Levis.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: So this team and Will Levis still is.
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: Sort of grasping for something real, I think.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: So. I think it makes some dangerous and it's a
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: coach that's come in. As you mentioned, Will Levis was
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: there before, it's not necessarily his guy trying to work
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: that out as well. So when we look at the
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: defensive side of the football, some big guys over there,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that's probably the most talent that they have on this team,
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: and Doug Peterson talked about.
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: That it's a it's a it's a zone scheme, you know,
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: a lot of until you get to third down. They'll
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: make some man coverages on third but really all eyes
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: on the quarterback, all eyes on the football, you know,
• 11:39
  Speaker 6: and they do a great job of just kind of
• 11:42
  Speaker 6: being where they need to be. And but again it
• 11:46
  Speaker 6: starts up front. They're very disruptive upfront. You know, Landry's
• 11:49
  Speaker 6: another one that can get after the pass or they can.
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: They can play with five down, they can play with
• 11:53
  Speaker 6: four down. Mix their fronts pressures, timely pressures, and it
• 11:58
  Speaker 6: just disrupts the timing of the of the quarterback receiver.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: And that's what they do well.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Right. Offensive line gonna have their work cutout.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Forms man an't tell you. You know it's in Chris
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: Jones and Kansas City and Miles Garrett and Cleveland are
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: a step above everyone else in the National Football League
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: in terms of their disruptiveness, the way that they can
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: dominate a game. But I love Jeffrey Simmons. I just
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: watching him the last couple of years. You see he's
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: got the size, he's got the length, he's got the quickness,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: and he plays the game like it's supposed to be,
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: played intense from snap to snap. I've seen him in
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: this series dominate the interior of the defensive line so
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: that nobody could do anything. If he gets that done,
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: they win on Sunday.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: It's a tough matchup for the Jags because, as we
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: talked about ad nausea on the show, the thing that
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: the Jags struggle with when you get to third and two,
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: third and one, picking that up.
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: He makes it very difficult to pick it up.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: The Titans are really good on the interior, so that
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: is a place where the Titans' strength plays into the
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: Jaguars weak and if that can be tough to overcome.
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: And they added the massive kids, the Devontre Smith Sweat
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: Seat Sweat from Texas. He's huge and he's raw, but
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: he's so big that you can't you can't just put
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: one guy there and say, well, can you move him?
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, so those two guys Sweat is making Simmons
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: even better.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be something to watch for sure. And of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: course Calvin Ridley. We even barely get to him because
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, he hasn't had as much of an effect
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: as I think maybe some of us might have thought
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: when he got there, but that's because the offense has
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: struggled so much in Tennessee.
• 13:28
  Speaker 4: And I remember John, we talked about it last year
• 13:31
  Speaker 4: in training camp a twenty twenty three. At training camp,
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: we watched Calvin Ridley line up against Tyson Campbell and
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: we thought, well, this would be a fun matchup to
• 13:40
  Speaker 4: watch for years to see it. Yeah, for a long time.
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: Well now we're gonna see it. Well, if Calvin, I'm sorry,
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: if Tyson plays, because he's on the injury report this
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: week with a quad injury. It'd be a big test
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: for Tyson to step up.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was amused.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: I was told that Calvin had said it, had circled
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: this game on his calendar.

  Speaker 1: For Sunday, we saw some Travis not having his best year.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: Tanks been having a great year.

  Speaker 1: came from Tennessee and now going back to the head
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: coach in college four so going off to do that
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: again but against more change in the resture story.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: He missed his opportunity to be on the Jaguars pregame
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: radio show. This was the week I was going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: talk to Jerry Matt.
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm sure that was all the new coaches.
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: On defense and all these guys. You know, I grab
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: a guy every week based you know, situationally, quarterback change,
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: who's healthy, matchups, all that stuff. And I hadn't got
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: to Jerry Mac and I heard he took the job
• 16:23
  Speaker 4: and it went Jerry, you missed your chance. Good for him, congratulations.
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Kanosa State has been a nice program in the past
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: and it's sitting there on the north side of Atlanta.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Hopefully he can turn that into a nice small Was
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: that a mid major success story?
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: I trust Travis that he was a good coach and
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: I wish him what Yes.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: Some other changes we've seen and we now have two
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Jacksonville legends as quarterbacks on this roster. John Wofford as
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: signed to the practice squad this week and talked a
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: little bit about being back home.
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: I've known Map, I've trained with back a little bit.
• 16:55
  Speaker 8: Great dude works hard, respect his game, expect how he
• 16:59
  Speaker 8: approaches a game, and so it's good to be around him.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: And obviously had a small one.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: Would both end up back in Jacksonville Bulls and.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: A BK got me in the same quarterback run right now?
• 17:10
  Speaker 8: I know, did you ever beat balls when you're high school?
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: Said?
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: We never played each other, so he said that we
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: were scared of them. I think it was another way around,
• 17:17
  Speaker 8: but that's on how you ask.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: John.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Perhaps we need to talk to Jean, But who was
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: a better in high school? Who's better? You know?
• 17:26
  Speaker 5: That sort of post dates my high school coverage. So
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: I they're both really good. Mac joked that what really
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: through for tons of yards? Yeah, and I was around when.
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: I saw the game numbers high where he there was
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: like eight hundred yards or a thousand yards of offense
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: and the game was a playoff game and it was
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: like seventy seven to seventy six. I don't know if
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: my kids weren't at Bishop Kenny at that point, but
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: he it's one of the most explosive offensive outputs in
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Florida high school playoff history. So but Nack went to
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: Alabama and won a national championship and played at bowls
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: and one state championships. It would have been fun to
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: watch this too.
• 18:07
  Speaker 5: If only I had played quarterback, you could have completed
• 18:10
  Speaker 5: the triumphor and had an episcopal kid up there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: It's too bad, go eat all right.
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: It was the final thing we heard from Jari and Jones.
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: Obviously he got kicked out of that game, but no
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: internal punishment, as Doug Peterson says, he didn't think it warranted.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: That hasn't got his fine letter just yet. Obviously came
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: to the defense of his quarterback, but he said more
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: than anything. He really just wants to win.
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: I want to win.
• 18:34
  Speaker 9: I mean, I mean, you can I'm not really here
• 18:37
  Speaker 9: for more of Victoriason like that. I mean, you can
• 18:40
  Speaker 9: say it brought us together, but I want to win,
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: you know, so, I mean, if we cannot fight and win,
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: I'm gonna take that ten times out of tea.
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: I think we'd all take that too.
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: But Unsad was if I have to fight to win,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: I'll fight to win. And I kind of like.
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: And as rookie seasons go on, you get to know
• 19:04
  Speaker 5: these guys a little bit, right, and there's a lot
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: of good kids in the rookie class. He's a really
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: likable kid, and he's a really mature kid. I talked
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: to him the on the ozone podcast right when he
• 19:13
  Speaker 5: got drafted.
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: You still want to give guys a little time to
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: get to know him.
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: He's really smart, really aware, and he was asked about
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: the fight and that's what he said, Well, it was
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: just a case of you being in the wrong place
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: at the wrong time, and he was like, I don't
• 19:28
  Speaker 5: want to be so naive like I was in there
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: a little bit, but you know, I'm saying that to
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: make the point of it was exactly the right balance, right,
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: Like he went in, he understood what was going on.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I gotta defend my quarterback, Brian.
• 19:43
  Speaker 5: Character Wise, it feels to me like he's the kind
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: of kid you can build around all forward.
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: He's a tempo center, right, he's a culture center. And
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: hopefully he's a good enough player because you have to
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: be able to play. He's pretty good, yeah, yeah, but
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: hopefully he's the guy that is that vibe on the
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: how do you how to put it? Because he's clearly
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: not Jayalen Ramsey even though he played in Florida State.
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: But you know, Jalen had that bad boy vibe when
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: you play. Yeah, and so he's got that in him,
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: it appears, and hopefully he's a good enough player to
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: get it done. I love the kid, and you say
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: he's smart, He is smart, smart enough that by the
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: time he looks at his paycheck stub and sees the
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: you know, fifteen eighteen thousand dollars, he's gonna be docked.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: He won't come off the sideline and throw a punch again,
• 20:22
  Speaker 4: just in case you don't know, that's why he'll be
• 20:23
  Speaker 4: fine coming off the sideline getting involved with the fight.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: All right, To stay with us. We'll talk a little
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: bit about what's coming up the rest of the week
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: and what we're expecting.
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: A yess the.

• 20:49
  Speaker 1: welcome you back. It's week fourteen. The Jaguars are heading
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: to Nashville this week. It is not always been a
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: fun place to play for the Jaguars as of recently,
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: but is this the week?
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: Ryan, I'm gonna say yes. I'm gonna say yes because
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: at some point, something has to go right for this
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: team this year, this week, and if it isn't this week,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: then I'll say it next week. Yes, I think Listen
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: John said it. It's a first year coach, They've got
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: a young quarterback who's still trying to figure things out.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I think Mac Jones played good football in the fourth
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: quarter and I think he keeps it going. And I
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: think the Jaguars find a way to get it done
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: in Nashville and have something positive happened for the first
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: time since October.
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think positive happens later. I think this is
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: a tough matchup for the reasons I said. It wouldn't
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: be surprised if they win, but it would be an
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: impressive win considering the circumstances. It wouldn't impress for many
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: people because the season's disappointing.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: But it would. It would be a heavy lift to do.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: It, all right, Well, we'll be there. We'll be back
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: on Monday to recap whatever happens there. Enjoy game time
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: this week and we'll see you on Monday.
