- 1:05Speaker 1: preview around the Corner, Doug Peterson spoke with the media
- 1:09Speaker 1: today where the Jaguars have won so many different ways
- 1:13Speaker 1: down the stretch of this season, but for the head coach,
- 1:16Speaker 1: whatever it takes. A wins and wins win. Um, it's
- 1:21Speaker 1: hard to win in this league. And I don't care
- 1:23Speaker 1: how you do it. Um, you know, bottom lines, you've
- 1:26Speaker 1: got to try to figure out a way. And sometimes
- 1:28Speaker 1: you're gonna score forty. Sometimes you're gonna score you know,
- 1:32Speaker 1: or ten. And you know, sometimes the offense is hot
- 1:36Speaker 1: and sometimes they're not. You know, defenses is smoking, or
- 1:39Speaker 1: special teams, whoever it might be. And and that was
- 1:42Speaker 1: the type of game it was, you know, this past Saturday.
- 1:44Speaker 1: I mean, that's a that's a good football team, you
- 1:47Speaker 1: know that that we played. And look, they were playing
- 1:50Speaker 1: for the same things we were playing for. And and
- 1:52Speaker 1: that was a win. And in scenario, wasn't our best offensively,
- 1:56Speaker 1: we know that, Um, but it was one of our
- 1:59Speaker 1: best games defense and on special teams. So UM, that's
- 2:03Speaker 1: just how football seasons go. That's how that's how teams go.
- 2:06Speaker 1: And and um, you know, this time of year, it
- 2:10Speaker 1: really it really doesn't matter as long as you figure
- 2:12Speaker 1: out a way, you know, to win that game. When
- 2:15Speaker 1: the game, they certainly did it. They won the a
- 2:17Speaker 1: f C South Division title and now it's on to
- 2:19Speaker 1: the postseason. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence after the game Saturday night,
- 2:23Speaker 1: finishing an all time rally for the Jaguars to get
- 2:26Speaker 1: to the division crown. That's the excitement that obviously, you
- 2:31Speaker 1: know I had and still have right now and coach,
- 2:35Speaker 1: and just how how this year has gone and um
- 2:38Speaker 1: ups and downs and just the belief that we've had
- 2:41Speaker 1: the whole time is you know, it kind of saw
- 2:42Speaker 1: it all come together today and even just how we
- 2:45Speaker 1: had to win the game is and you know it
- 2:47Speaker 1: wasn't always pretty, but just found a way to win.
- 2:49Speaker 1: And you know, just told him, told him I loved him.
- 2:52Speaker 1: I'm appreciative him, you know, just what he's done for
- 2:54Speaker 1: it for this place. Obviously it takes more than just
- 2:57Speaker 1: just a coach, but what he's been able to do
- 2:59Speaker 1: for this organization, um has been incredible and just excited
- 3:03Speaker 1: for the future. And we get another opportunity to play
- 3:05Speaker 1: next weekend and that's all that means is we get
- 3:07Speaker 1: to play again next week. And there's not many teams
- 3:09Speaker 1: I get to say that at this point, so, um, well,
- 3:12Speaker 1: I guess after Tomorrow night at that point, but um,
- 3:15Speaker 1: so just just excited these guys, you know, you know,
- 3:18Speaker 1: we earned it. It was. It was a tough year
- 3:20Speaker 1: as far as just having to climb out of that hole.
- 3:22Speaker 1: We've done ourselves and it was. It was awesome. Now
- 3:25Speaker 1: of the Jaguars defense, they allowed three points in the
- 3:27Speaker 1: second half and of course had the big play at
- 3:29Speaker 1: the end. It's been a big play defense down the
- 3:32Speaker 1: stretch of ray Sean Jenkins has had a hand in that.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Two picks against the Cowboys, including a game winning interception
- 3:38Speaker 1: return for a touchdown and over time of that game,
- 3:41Speaker 1: and then Saturday night the play of the game the
- 3:43Speaker 1: sack fumble. These are not a surprise, dray Sean, dude,
- 3:48Speaker 1: our visit it man. That that's that's stuff. I just
- 3:50Speaker 1: just think about um all the time. You know. I
- 3:53Speaker 1: always dream about making big plays, especially when my number
- 3:56Speaker 1: is called, especially if my if my coaches have the
- 4:00Speaker 1: us to call my number on the plate. I take
- 4:02Speaker 1: that very personal. Um, So I would say I'm having
- 4:05Speaker 1: a good season man, and um um, but that's what
- 4:08Speaker 1: you're supposed to do when when you when you get
- 4:10Speaker 1: brought into a team and supposed to change the culture,
- 4:13Speaker 1: you've got to be one of those guys, especially you
- 4:14Speaker 1: come in. Um uh. You know, they if they went
- 4:17Speaker 1: to go hand pick you. You have to be one
- 4:19Speaker 1: of the guys that have changed the coach. We're coming
- 4:21Speaker 1: up including more comments from head coach Doug Peterson and yes,
- 4:25Speaker 1: locker rooms sound the celebration after Jaguars win. We're on
- 4:28Speaker 1: tinton x l a M, Jaguars dot com, Jack social media,
- 4:31Speaker 1: Twitter and Facebook and YouTube. On this Monday, Tony Wasselli
- 4:35Speaker 1: and Pete Prisco are with us now and the Jaguars
- 4:38Speaker 1: are the a f C South champions. They will host
- 4:40Speaker 1: the Chargers in a wild card playoff game. And Tony
- 4:43Speaker 1: locked it so many weeks ago and it came true. Congrats.
- 4:48Speaker 1: That drives Pete crazy that I locked it and worked
- 4:52Speaker 1: because you didn't really believe it. There's no way you
- 4:54Speaker 1: did it. No, you didn't. You did it for clicks
- 4:57Speaker 1: and hits, and people is talking about you because that's
- 4:59Speaker 1: who you are. That's not who I am. You know.
- 5:02Speaker 1: I believe that this team was playing good football, and
- 5:06Speaker 1: if you look at the five game losing street, I
- 5:08Speaker 1: could argue that they should have won every even one
- 5:10Speaker 1: of those games, but even if they win three of them,
- 5:12Speaker 1: they'd have been the best team by far in the
- 5:13Speaker 1: n f C. In that couple with the injuries that
- 5:17Speaker 1: the Titans and the way they were playing. I felt
- 5:20Speaker 1: like this, you know, the Jags, if they could run
- 5:22Speaker 1: the table. They ended up not having to run the table.
- 5:25Speaker 1: Um they didn't lose the one that Detroit that I
- 5:27Speaker 1: thought might hurt him. But I didn't believe that this
- 5:29Speaker 1: team was good enough to make the playoffs. Did you
- 5:31Speaker 1: just say they would have been the best team in
- 5:32Speaker 1: the a f C AFC South? Okay, Okay, okay, because
- 5:36Speaker 1: I know you've gotten carried away over here recently, so
- 5:39Speaker 1: I didn't know what you were where you were going
- 5:41Speaker 1: with that, But it's your sounded like you said best
- 5:43Speaker 1: team in the a f C. Did he not J
- 5:46Speaker 1: South South? That's what I'm okay? And they would have
- 5:49Speaker 1: and they probably would have been a higher seed if
- 5:52Speaker 1: they won a couple of those games. Yeah, absolutely, I
- 5:55Speaker 1: mean they you know, it works out how it works out,
- 5:59Speaker 1: you know, I don't think and if you say, take
- 6:01Speaker 1: a step back and you look at the top three seeds,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I don't know if you ever surpassed them. You know, Cincinnati,
- 6:08Speaker 1: Buffalo in Kansas City, they are the class right now, DYFC,
- 6:11Speaker 1: And that's what we have to go. We have to
- 6:14Speaker 1: go beat those type of teams. We have to make
- 6:15Speaker 1: it now. You have to make a run in the
- 6:17Speaker 1: playoffs where you get the credibility that you're considered one
- 6:20Speaker 1: of those teams, and you have to do it more
- 6:22Speaker 1: than one year at the same time. Um So, I
- 6:24Speaker 1: think if you look at the a f C playoffs
- 6:25Speaker 1: right now, I think it's it's the Chiefs, the Bills,
- 6:30Speaker 1: and in the in the Bengals, and then there's a
- 6:33Speaker 1: gap between everyone else. I think everyone else is trying
- 6:37Speaker 1: to fight their way into that top three. And this
- 6:40Speaker 1: is a great opportunity for the Jaguars to do something.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You know what, Jacksonville is not unlike the Bengals a
- 6:46Speaker 1: year ago. If that's you know, maybe you can maybe
- 6:49Speaker 1: you can get hot and get a run. And now
- 6:50Speaker 1: the Bengals are around now, and they're gonna be around now.
- 6:53Speaker 1: And I've said that before. I said jackson was gonna
- 6:55Speaker 1: be around for a long time now with with Trevor
- 6:57Speaker 1: Lawrence as the quarterback. So maybe this can be there
- 7:00Speaker 1: year to put themselves on the map and you know,
- 7:02Speaker 1: go upset somebody, you know, go on the road and
- 7:04Speaker 1: do that when this week and then go upset somebody
- 7:06Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, people start talking about
- 7:08Speaker 1: you like the Bengals are Now. I think that's that's
- 7:11Speaker 1: the big that's the big task right now. Look, every
- 7:14Speaker 1: year somebody comes from nowhere. Every year. It's too easy
- 7:17Speaker 1: to say that both conferences look very top heavy. You know,
- 7:21Speaker 1: you look at the end of the NDFC is the
- 7:24Speaker 1: Eagles and and who it's for those two and this
- 7:26Speaker 1: is three teams and so. But don't you think somebody's
- 7:30Speaker 1: gonna find a way to get hot and make a
- 7:31Speaker 1: little run somebody. That's what usually happens to me. It's
- 7:34Speaker 1: usually it's it's very rarely goes chalk where we have
- 7:38Speaker 1: the you know, one or two seeds in both conferences
- 7:40Speaker 1: in in the in the title games. And last year
- 7:44Speaker 1: you said it right, it was it was the it
- 7:48Speaker 1: was the Cincinnati Bengals. Um the year before that it
- 7:51Speaker 1: was Tampa Bay. We made a run and from the
- 7:53Speaker 1: wild card and end up winning the whole thing. So
- 7:56Speaker 1: it's right there for him. I mean, you always say,
- 7:59Speaker 1: and this is it's been said about the NFL Playoffs
- 8:02Speaker 1: for years and years and years. Just get into the
- 8:05Speaker 1: tournament because then it's the hottest teams, the team is
- 8:08Speaker 1: playing the best it's the hottest quarterback where defense that
- 8:10Speaker 1: gets on a run and starts doing stuff that's special.
- 8:13Speaker 1: And you don't get to have that opportunity unless you
- 8:16Speaker 1: win your division or get one of those wild card spots.
- 8:18Speaker 1: The Jacks won the division, they're gonna have a home
- 8:20Speaker 1: playoff game, you know. And now now it's a new season.
- 8:24Speaker 1: Nothing matters, the records, none of it matters, and it's
- 8:29Speaker 1: it's win or go home type of scenario. And that
- 8:33Speaker 1: it's a great opportunity for a team with the Jacks
- 8:35Speaker 1: because they should be playing, you know, pressure free. Okay,
- 8:39Speaker 1: this is like we're in this thing. We're not here.
- 8:41Speaker 1: We're not just happy to be here. We're here to
- 8:42Speaker 1: win the whole thing. And let's let them go hang
- 8:45Speaker 1: out and see what we can do. And this is
- 8:47Speaker 1: a showcase game, guys, of course, because of the young
- 8:50Speaker 1: quarterbacks up and coming, Justin Herbert in year three, Trevor
- 8:53Speaker 1: Lawrence in year two. It is a primetime playoff games
- 8:56Speaker 1: Saturday night eight kickoff on NBC and Paramount Plus, and
- 9:01Speaker 1: that is a prime spot. It's the first home primetime
- 9:04Speaker 1: playoff game in Jaguars history, only the fifth game in
- 9:08Speaker 1: Jacksonville in the playoffs. Ever, and um, it's a big spotlight, Pete.
- 9:12Speaker 1: But for a good reason. This is when we were wrong.
- 9:15Speaker 1: We were wrong about that. By the way, I was wrong.
- 9:17Speaker 1: I thought they would definitely be even so did you, Tony?
- 9:19Speaker 1: You thought they'd be in the four in the early
- 9:20Speaker 1: game window and they decided not to put them there,
- 9:23Speaker 1: which shocked me a little bit. But I think what
- 9:25Speaker 1: happens if green Bay would have won and got in,
- 9:27Speaker 1: would they have put Yes, they would have. They would
- 9:31Speaker 1: have flipped those I'm convinced of green Bay would have won.
- 9:35Speaker 1: Bay would have been the right on Funday night, Pampa,
- 9:42Speaker 1: Dallas on Sunday night in probably Cincinnati, Baltimore on Saturday
- 9:46Speaker 1: night or what they could have what what they might
- 9:49Speaker 1: have done. If it was green Bay in San Francisco,
- 9:50Speaker 1: they would have flipped them to the night and then
- 9:52Speaker 1: put Jacksonville in the early game Saturday night. Yeah, Yeah,
- 9:56Speaker 1: there's no doubt. If green Bay one, they were playing
- 9:58Speaker 1: a night game at Jacksonville's probably gonna play at the
- 10:01Speaker 1: early game on on Saturday. So they when they put
- 10:03Speaker 1: him in the window, and hey, that's good for for Jacksonville.
- 10:06Speaker 1: That place was looked. You guys were there it sounded
- 10:09Speaker 1: like it was rocking, like it hadn't rocked it all.
- 10:13Speaker 1: It was an amazing crowd. It reminded me of remember
- 10:18Speaker 1: the Monday night game against Miami when I place the
- 10:20Speaker 1: just yes it was that was the night field that
- 10:24Speaker 1: it had. That's and then they get to do they
- 10:27Speaker 1: get to do it all over again. I mean, that's
- 10:29Speaker 1: the thing, and they get a little bit of a break.
- 10:31Speaker 1: The Chargers played to win last week on Sunday, which
- 10:35Speaker 1: was strange by the way, Mike Williams hurt his back,
- 10:38Speaker 1: which was a bad situation. And now they got to
- 10:39Speaker 1: travel all the way across. They gotta leave on Friday,
- 10:41Speaker 1: so they're gonna they got a short week. It's not
- 10:43Speaker 1: a good week for the Charge. Big advantage for Jacksonville
- 10:45Speaker 1: from that stand. Actually, I think they'll have to lose Thursday.
- 10:49Speaker 1: Usually the West Coast teams will leave Thursday night because
- 10:52Speaker 1: you lose, you lose all that time travel. That's right,
- 10:55Speaker 1: you'll probably That's why I'm thinking Friday. Yeah, Friday usually,
- 10:58Speaker 1: m so take advantage of it. The crowd was and
- 11:03Speaker 1: it started. I got over the bridge, guys at like
- 11:05Speaker 1: two o'clock, and I look over there's already cars parked
- 11:08Speaker 1: and tailgating, and this is you know, six hours before
- 11:11Speaker 1: the game and looked like they had been there for
- 11:13Speaker 1: a minute already. So by the time, you know, six
- 11:16Speaker 1: o'clock rolls around and then it's two hours before, the
- 11:19Speaker 1: lots are packed. There's people everywhere, there's tailgating, you know,
- 11:22Speaker 1: grill smoke all over the place. I mean, it is
- 11:25Speaker 1: it is a scene outside. And then that all just
- 11:28Speaker 1: transferred to uh to kick off time. It was awesome.
- 11:31Speaker 1: All yeah, you know what, JP got quiet and there
- 11:34Speaker 1: for a while before before that big play on defense,
- 11:38Speaker 1: they were all sitting there. I know what they were
- 11:40Speaker 1: thinking here and they go again. They were all everybody
- 11:43Speaker 1: in that place was taking it because it sounded really
- 11:46Speaker 1: quiet for a little period of time there Titans were
- 11:49Speaker 1: The Titans were two first downs away from Ice in it, right, Yeah,
- 11:55Speaker 1: I mean that's all he needed was to get a
- 11:56Speaker 1: couple of first downs and the game was over. But
- 11:59Speaker 1: I mean, that was a great played by ray Sean
- 12:00Speaker 1: Jenkins and uh and you know it was close by
- 12:04Speaker 1: the way, it was close. Yeah, I mean it was
- 12:07Speaker 1: a fumble, but it was close. He definitely did not
- 12:11Speaker 1: control the ball when the balls are coming forward and
- 12:14Speaker 1: that's all that needs to happen. But it worked out.
- 12:17Speaker 1: The Jaguar has got a big play on defense when
- 12:19Speaker 1: they needed it inside three minutes to go fourth quarter
- 12:22Speaker 1: and won the game twenty to sixteen. We've got plenty ahead.
- 12:25Speaker 1: We're gonna get the offense back on track when we
- 12:27Speaker 1: come back and see what Trevor Lawrence is about. We're
- 12:30Speaker 1: here from the quarterback after the game and see what
- 12:33Speaker 1: the Jacks can do against the Chargers. Moving ahead, pr

- 13:01Speaker 1: you know, for for this team to get to get
- 13:03Speaker 1: that opportunity to continue to show who we are and um,
- 13:08Speaker 1: just like I said, just to get a chance to
- 13:10Speaker 1: play again. You know, the field gets whittled down next
- 13:14Speaker 1: week and get a shot to to play whoever. It
- 13:16Speaker 1: is gonna be a good team coming in here. So
- 13:19Speaker 1: I'm just excited for that and you know, like you said,
- 13:21Speaker 1: played in big games and um, so it'll be a good,
- 13:23Speaker 1: good challenge for us. But I'm really excited to just
- 13:25Speaker 1: get another opportunity. And you know, we got a lot
- 13:27Speaker 1: of stuff, like I said, to clean up and can
- 13:30Speaker 1: definitely didn't play anywhere close to our best ball, especially
- 13:32Speaker 1: offensively tonight. So I'm excited to kind of, you know,
- 13:35Speaker 1: watch the tape and and get back to it and
- 13:37Speaker 1: clean up some some things. That's the quarterback of course.
- 13:40Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence after the game Saturday night, Welcome back. It's
- 13:43Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour on a Monday. After Jaguars went over

- 14:15Speaker 1: J P. Shadrick Pete, Prisco, Tony Basselli, and yes, Trevor
- 14:18Speaker 1: Lawrence in the game on Saturday thirty two to twelve.
- 14:22Speaker 1: Through the year, had a touchdown rating over ninety two
- 14:25Speaker 1: and his numbers for the season. He finished seventh in
- 14:28Speaker 1: the league and attempts and completions this year, ninth in
- 14:32Speaker 1: passing yards ninth and rating eighth in passing touchdowns. And
- 14:36Speaker 1: he's now the third Jaguars quarterback to go over four
- 14:39Speaker 1: thousand yards in a single season. So the last few weeks,
- 14:44Speaker 1: I mean, the Jets game, weather was certainly an issue,
- 14:47Speaker 1: the Houston game was what it was, and then this
- 14:50Speaker 1: past week maybe left a few things out there. The
- 14:53Speaker 1: offense had some issues as a whole. How do they
- 14:56Speaker 1: get back on track this week, guys, and and how
- 14:59Speaker 1: does Trevors especially get back to form. He didn't look good.
- 15:04Speaker 1: But I don't think the offensive line played very well either.
- 15:07Speaker 1: I thought they struggled a little bit. Um uh. You know,
- 15:11Speaker 1: here's the other thing. They didn't win as much in
- 15:13Speaker 1: the passing game as I thought they would against that defense.
- 15:17Speaker 1: I thought they had opportunities to to beat those guys
- 15:19Speaker 1: that they didn't they beat, you know, Kirk beat the
- 15:21Speaker 1: one guy the one time, but they didn't do enough
- 15:23Speaker 1: of that, And and Trevor was a little off. I
- 15:26Speaker 1: mean he moved away from some pockets that were clean,
- 15:29Speaker 1: which stuff he was doing earlier in the year. It
- 15:31Speaker 1: just wasn't a good performance by the offense. Well, the
- 15:35Speaker 1: only thing I would add is a couple of things.
- 15:39Speaker 1: One is they couldn't run the ball at all, and
- 15:44Speaker 1: so that makes it difficult when you I mean, you
- 15:46Speaker 1: don't have to run the ball all the time, but
- 15:48Speaker 1: you have to at least have the right a round
- 15:49Speaker 1: and they couldn't get an inch and that was an issue.
- 15:53Speaker 1: I think that got them out of a rum. Second,
- 15:56Speaker 1: if Trevor if offensive line, they were good at time,
- 15:59Speaker 1: but I especially in the second half, I kind of
- 16:02Speaker 1: started falling apart a little bit. And there were a
- 16:04Speaker 1: couple of throws that Trevor has been hitting then he
- 16:07Speaker 1: just flat missed that would have been touchdowns. And that's
- 16:09Speaker 1: not a close game probably you know, it's a two
- 16:12Speaker 1: possession game going the fourth courts a Jones that was bad.
- 16:16Speaker 1: That was a bad miss, really a bad miss. And
- 16:19Speaker 1: then the other one is the Kurt is the Christian Kurt.
- 16:22Speaker 1: We have two steps on. I think it was Fulton
- 16:25Speaker 1: and he completely under threw it. Yeah, I I couldn't
- 16:29Speaker 1: figure that one out. Was he worried about laying it
- 16:31Speaker 1: out a little bit because of the safety Just look
- 16:33Speaker 1: at pressure, right if you get looked at the replay,
- 16:36Speaker 1: he got hit right in the mouth as he was
- 16:37Speaker 1: throwing it. Yeah, it just wasn't. It wasn't a smooth performance.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I didn't think. I thought Brandon Sheriff had a bad day.
- 16:45Speaker 1: I thought, yeah, cup day, they're good defense, tackle, But
- 16:50Speaker 1: that was his worst game. Yeah, he wasn't good, and
- 16:53Speaker 1: I think that led to some problems. Fortner had some
- 16:55Speaker 1: issues as well. Um, you know it didn't play played
- 16:59Speaker 1: pretty good game. Walker little was okay. Yeah, I thought
- 17:02Speaker 1: they were five. Yeah, the inside inside gave him some
- 17:06Speaker 1: pressure and I think that started getting into his head
- 17:09Speaker 1: a little bit and he started speeding himself up a
- 17:12Speaker 1: little bit. I thought it wasn't. It wasn't even as
- 17:15Speaker 1: like he threw a ball into one of those passes
- 17:17Speaker 1: through in the Marvin Jones shot was the best one
- 17:20Speaker 1: of the night, the one in the middle of the field.
- 17:22Speaker 1: That was the best shot of the night. But he
- 17:24Speaker 1: threw another one into the middle of the field that
- 17:26Speaker 1: I thought he completed it, but it didn't look clean
- 17:30Speaker 1: and Chris, you know more, when it was early in
- 17:32Speaker 1: the game, it just didn't look like it was the
- 17:34Speaker 1: same guy ripping it and and and so I think
- 17:37Speaker 1: he was just a little off. And I bet, you know,
- 17:39Speaker 1: I bet if you asked him, he would have said
- 17:41Speaker 1: that there was some play, you know, potential jittery kind
- 17:44Speaker 1: of stuff there, because he even talked about that in
- 17:46Speaker 1: some interview he did with Jeff Darlington and of ESPN,
- 17:49Speaker 1: how his confidence waned at points during the early part
- 17:52Speaker 1: of the season. He had to get that back. He
- 17:54Speaker 1: didn't look like he had his confidence on against the Titans. Yeah,
- 17:57Speaker 1: I think I disagree with you that I thought he
- 18:00Speaker 1: and I just thought he missed a couple of throws
- 18:02Speaker 1: um and that couple of zero one game and the
- 18:05Speaker 1: offense line's kind of struggling at times. It makes it hard,
- 18:10Speaker 1: makes it hard to play offense like this, he's retreating
- 18:13Speaker 1: and this this Okay, this throw, it's an amazing throw,
- 18:16Speaker 1: but the guy was opening on the crossing route when
- 18:18Speaker 1: he's in the pocket. On that play, you saw it,
- 18:20Speaker 1: Kirk was open on the crosser and he didn't he eat,
- 18:22Speaker 1: retreats to his to his left and throws makes it
- 18:24Speaker 1: a much more difficult throw that. That's the kind of
- 18:28Speaker 1: little things that he was doing. And by the way,
- 18:30Speaker 1: it didn't help him that he went seven of eight
- 18:32Speaker 1: on a drive and they decided to pull out the
- 18:34Speaker 1: old tricker Room. Pete hate play. As soon as they did,
- 18:43Speaker 1: I save them there like, I don't like that play
- 18:47Speaker 1: at them all. I mean, I got it's as soon
- 18:51Speaker 1: as the play happened. I looked at Twitter and I
- 18:54Speaker 1: had fifteen tweets from Jaguary fans going, there's Pete's play. Pete,
- 18:58Speaker 1: there's your play, there's your And I'm like, what in
- 19:02Speaker 1: the hell are they doing? And Tony, you watch the tape?
- 19:04Speaker 1: I'm sure right, I haven't. Okay, that play was either
- 19:09Speaker 1: gonna do one or two things. If it's run successful,
- 19:12Speaker 1: he walks in for a touchdown or the defensive end
- 19:16Speaker 1: blows him up for a seven yard loss. There's no
- 19:18Speaker 1: in between. It was no in between. If a successful pitch,
- 19:24Speaker 1: I think it's touched down, well, they blocked it. It
- 19:27Speaker 1: was blocked up to a touchdown. Other than the defensive end,
- 19:29Speaker 1: who he would have, there's no chance he was I
- 19:32Speaker 1: don't know. The defensive ends bearing down on it a
- 19:35Speaker 1: little bit, but it's it's here or there. It's still
- 19:37Speaker 1: a bad play. The guy wasn't Trevor Lawrence seven of
- 19:40Speaker 1: eight on that drive before that, they were dicing them up.
- 19:43Speaker 1: But why stop? I don't. I didn't like it either,
- 19:46Speaker 1: for I have no answer. It's it's the it's our
- 19:49Speaker 1: our weekly visit to Philly Specialized and he guys such
- 19:56Speaker 1: a good play call or why does he has to
- 19:58Speaker 1: start over ruling himself. You know he's gotta you know
- 20:01Speaker 1: how like, yeah, the good guy over here and the
- 20:03Speaker 1: bad guy over here in life, do it, don't do it?
- 20:05Speaker 1: Do it, don't do it. He's got to have the
- 20:07Speaker 1: good guy on the other side saying to himself, don't
- 20:09Speaker 1: do it, dog, don't do it. Just play football. They
- 20:12Speaker 1: should let me have like input into his ear. Don't
- 20:16Speaker 1: do it, do not do it. No Philly special Itist
- 20:20Speaker 1: and very Doug and I set that out on Sunday
- 20:24Speaker 1: and I sent a tweet out saying it went a
- 20:26Speaker 1: great play after watching the tape, it's such a great
- 20:27Speaker 1: play caller. But every game there's one, and the Eagle
- 20:31Speaker 1: fans went nuts on me. They just went nuts on me. No,
- 20:37Speaker 1: because they are that play won a super Bowl and
- 20:40Speaker 1: they didn't get what I said. It meant by it
- 20:41Speaker 1: is that he's still it's become a thing with him.
- 20:46Speaker 1: You really like the play. Tony didn't like to play JP.
- 20:49Speaker 1: You'll be lying if you said you like to play. Yeah,
- 20:51Speaker 1: he was actually perfect on the drive. He had not
- 20:53Speaker 1: missed a pass. Yeah, fight, stop it go go you
- 20:59Speaker 1: guys does could be? And I in my mind, I
- 21:02Speaker 1: think if they keep going there and score touchdown with
- 21:04Speaker 1: him ripping it, they're gonna he's gonna continue to do that.
- 21:07Speaker 1: There's gonna be no problem the rest of the way. No,
- 21:10Speaker 1: I really, I'm with you, pe. I thought there was
- 21:12Speaker 1: like three or four plays that made that a close
- 21:14Speaker 1: game where it couldn't easily gone the other way for
- 21:17Speaker 1: the Jacks. You know, the Jones, the Philly you know,
- 21:21Speaker 1: the trick play fumble and then missing Kirk when he's
- 21:25Speaker 1: got a couple of steps. And you're right, I don't think.
- 21:30Speaker 1: I don't think Trevor lost the confidence in that game
- 21:32Speaker 1: at all. I just don't think he was at his
- 21:33Speaker 1: top level. I do think he missed a cross her too.
- 21:36Speaker 1: Here there I saw a couple of misses, um, But
- 21:39Speaker 1: some of that's also due to the fact that they
- 21:41Speaker 1: were getting pressure right in his face, and when you
- 21:43Speaker 1: get pressure in your face, it's hard to play quarter back.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Big question. Yeu Jaguars had issues in the running game. Obviously,
- 21:50Speaker 1: you guys mentioned that it's a really good run defense
- 21:52Speaker 1: in Tennessee, but the Chargers, at least in the regular season,
- 21:55Speaker 1: did not rate very well in that department. Can E
- 21:58Speaker 1: t N get it go this week? Yes, they better
- 22:01Speaker 1: because they have to. They don't on the ball and
- 22:03Speaker 1: those two guys pin their ears back and go. He
- 22:05Speaker 1: got big problems. Yeah, they got two good pass rushers.
- 22:07Speaker 1: Were not good against the run. You know, this is
- 22:10Speaker 1: a game. We need a hundred plush rushing yards and
- 22:12Speaker 1: you should give it. I mean they give up an
- 22:14Speaker 1: average hunter five. Yeah, they're bad. It doesn't matter who
- 22:18Speaker 1: that what. They do. They replace guys, they signed free agents,
- 22:21Speaker 1: they draft linebackers. They still can't stop the run. It
- 22:23Speaker 1: doesn't matter. They just can't stop the run. And you know, Tony,
- 22:27Speaker 1: I thought the one run where E. T N tripped,
- 22:31Speaker 1: he was going to rip that for a long one.
- 22:33Speaker 1: That was a long game. Remember when he tripped, he
- 22:35Speaker 1: got the first down because he kind of lunged forward
- 22:37Speaker 1: a little bit. They blocked that one well, and he
- 22:39Speaker 1: had he should have. This is what I wonder if
- 22:41Speaker 1: it was nerves, because if you look at the first
- 22:43Speaker 1: third down, they jumped easily gets it if he doesn't
- 22:47Speaker 1: get his feet kind of stumbling on one and you're right,
- 22:50Speaker 1: et n on that first run outside run, he might
- 22:53Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's a house call, but it's a
- 22:55Speaker 1: yard run. Yeah. It was almost like their brains were
- 22:59Speaker 1: moving faster than feet. Um, you know that happened sometimes
- 23:02Speaker 1: when you got a bunch of excitement, anxiety and the
- 23:05Speaker 1: emotion in a big game like that, and I felt
- 23:08Speaker 1: like they, you know, probably need to settle down a
- 23:11Speaker 1: little bit. But then they just never got a rhythm. No,
- 23:14Speaker 1: look disjointed at the whole game. And other than other
- 23:17Speaker 1: than when he went seven for seven on the one
- 23:19Speaker 1: drive and they took him out. I mean, hey, JP,
- 23:24Speaker 1: did they get a first down in the second half?
- 23:27Speaker 1: Was Jaguar's offense. Let's see here, let's go through it. Yeah. Yeah,
- 23:32Speaker 1: there weren't many though, remember right, but they were opening
- 23:38Speaker 1: opening drive they had Yeah, they had a fourth quarter.
- 23:41Speaker 1: I don't think then they had Yeah, and the third
- 23:44Speaker 1: quarter they had another first down. In the fourth quarter
- 23:47Speaker 1: they didn't have any. I don't think. Okay, well you
- 23:49Speaker 1: didn't say that. You said the second half, but I
- 23:51Speaker 1: have a third quarter. I can only go one drive
- 23:53Speaker 1: at a time, Pete, what do you want me to do, like,
- 23:54Speaker 1: just go through the whole thing and not not gonna
- 23:56Speaker 1: go through at all? Fourth quarter? Three and out, three
- 24:00Speaker 1: and out? Um, Yeah, or a fumble return and then
- 24:07Speaker 1: ball game, Neil. Yeah, no first downs in the fourth quarter.
- 24:10Speaker 1: That's bad. First, the defense was doing the same thing, right,
- 24:13Speaker 1: I mean, defense was doing the same thing at that
- 24:15Speaker 1: same time, So it wasn't like they were giving up
- 24:17Speaker 1: points and losing ground. Yeah, but you're playing a guy,
- 24:19Speaker 1: a third team quarterback off the street, and you've got
- 24:22Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. There's a big difference there. I think, come on,
- 24:25Speaker 1: let's be real. I mean, no, you gotta be better
- 24:28Speaker 1: on off you If you play like that on offense
- 24:31Speaker 1: against the Chargers, you're losing. I agree with that, pet
- 24:34Speaker 1: But let's get Mike Rabels some credit too. Yeah. I
- 24:37Speaker 1: mean they had a good game plan, they executed it.
- 24:40Speaker 1: I mean, defensively, they were outstanding. They made adjustments from
- 24:43Speaker 1: the first game. You know, they did exactly what they
- 24:46Speaker 1: had to do. Make it a grind it out game,
- 24:49Speaker 1: you know, get some stops on defense, try to get
- 24:51Speaker 1: the lead, keep it one possession so that they can
- 24:54Speaker 1: didn't have to take any put any pressure on Josh stops.
- 24:58Speaker 1: I mean, I thought they did a great job. Did
- 25:00Speaker 1: What did you think of what they did differently in
- 25:02Speaker 1: that game? On defense? They they took away the middle
- 25:07Speaker 1: a little bit with with Ingram for sure. Yeah, there's
- 25:10Speaker 1: definitely a focus on Ingram Um in the middle of
- 25:14Speaker 1: the field. And I could't I can't tell you because
- 25:16Speaker 1: I don't watch the tape really closely to tell you
- 25:20Speaker 1: exactly what they did. Difference different zones a lot. They
- 25:23Speaker 1: played their zones a lot better. I know that much
- 25:25Speaker 1: because and I don't think Jacksonville did a great job.
- 25:27Speaker 1: You know, Tony, when you tell receivers sit down, sit down,
- 25:31Speaker 1: they didn't do a great job of sitting down, at
- 25:33Speaker 1: least early in that game. I didn't think um and
- 25:36Speaker 1: and that I just I thought in general, there's off offensively,
- 25:39Speaker 1: just did not seem at a rhythm. No, that can't again,
- 25:43Speaker 1: it can't happen against the charges you're going home. That's
- 25:45Speaker 1: my theory on it. All right, let's come back in
- 25:47Speaker 1: a moment. Jaguar's defense got it done in the second
- 25:51Speaker 1: half against Tennessee. Will break some of their play down
- 25:55Speaker 1: and what to expect against Justin Herbert and the playmakers
- 25:58Speaker 1: of the Chargers Jaguars playoff tickets were they a f
- 26:03Speaker 1: C wild Card playoff game are available. Limited tickets and
- 26:07Speaker 1: standing room at last check are available, but going extremely
- 26:11Speaker 1: fast as you might imagine. Visit Jaguars dot com. We're
- 26:16Speaker 1: called nine four six and good luck. By the way,
- 26:20Speaker 1: it should be a great scene and a sold out
- 26:22Speaker 1: crowd again this Saturday night for the wild Card playoff
- 26:24Speaker 1: game between the Chargers and the Jags. And this is
- 26:26Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour presented by Jet Home Loans on the
- 26:29Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. I think we kind of knew back
- 26:38Speaker 1: like did be real, like think kind of back in
- 26:40Speaker 1: training account we kind of had this you know this
- 26:43Speaker 1: this this type of slag, this type of order that
- 26:45Speaker 1: we was gonna make it far. And uh, you know,
- 26:48Speaker 1: we knew those five games, that five games stretch that
- 26:51Speaker 1: we had, we were just we had to find a
- 26:53Speaker 1: way to win. And I think we weren't finding those
- 26:56Speaker 1: ways to win at that moment. I think that we're
- 26:58Speaker 1: learning lessons um Like that said, man, when you lose,
- 27:00Speaker 1: you find you find it, you find opportunities, and uh,
- 27:03Speaker 1: you know when we put back in that situation again,
- 27:06Speaker 1: be capitalized. So we wanted we want her overtime. You know,
- 27:09Speaker 1: we we we we seventeen now tinned down, you know,
- 27:12Speaker 1: kept a league below. So it's like, you gotta find
- 27:15Speaker 1: a way to win. And right now we find in
- 27:17Speaker 1: multiple ways to win and and and by the end
- 27:19Speaker 1: of the day, we gotta get the job during. That's
- 27:22Speaker 1: Josh Allen, Jaguars outside linebacker, fourth year and he has
- 27:26Speaker 1: been a man possessed the last five games, twenty tackles,
- 27:29Speaker 1: three sacks, five tackles for lost, nine quarterback hits, two
- 27:33Speaker 1: forced fumbles in that time and of course two fumber
- 27:35Speaker 1: recoveries and the one, of course, the game winner against
- 27:39Speaker 1: the Tennessee Titans. He had six sexs total for the season,
- 27:43Speaker 1: half of those in the final month plus Welcome back
- 27:45Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Hour j P Shadrick, Pete Frisco and Tony Vasselli.
- 27:49Speaker 1: The Jaguars are a f C South champions. They will
- 27:52Speaker 1: host an a f C wild Card playoff games Saturday night,
- 27:54Speaker 1: eight fifteen, kickoff time against the Los Angeles Chargers, and
- 27:58Speaker 1: Josh Allen turned it around. I mean the middle of
- 28:02Speaker 1: the season, the stats just weren't there. He was getting
- 28:05Speaker 1: close but not quite getting home. But Pete, the last
- 28:08Speaker 1: month plus, we talked about this the last few weeks,
- 28:11Speaker 1: but his impact was felt near the end of that
- 28:13Speaker 1: game on Saturday night. Oh no, it was felt all game. Yeah,
- 28:18Speaker 1: he's back to being the guy we thought we would
- 28:20Speaker 1: see all year. He was. He was outstanding on on
- 28:24Speaker 1: Saturday Night. And and again he's a really good football player.
- 28:28Speaker 1: And I think his numbers are starting to show that
- 28:31Speaker 1: he's back because he was doing some good things. It
- 28:34Speaker 1: wasn't like he was all for earlier season. But this
- 28:36Speaker 1: is the guy we expected to see that when we've
- 28:37Speaker 1: seen the last couple of weeks, and I was impressed
- 28:40Speaker 1: with what we saw from him. Uh and you know,
- 28:43Speaker 1: the defense as a whole was outstanding, but Josh Allen
- 28:46Speaker 1: was probably the best guy on the field the other night. Well, Pete,
- 28:49Speaker 1: I think it was also if you know, if you
- 28:51Speaker 1: look at this year, it's like a seven to nine
- 28:54Speaker 1: game stretch where he was not bad to your point,
- 28:56Speaker 1: but just not impactful like Okay, nice player, but not
- 29:00Speaker 1: nothing that you would say, Hey, he's a game changer,
- 29:03Speaker 1: and you know he impacts the game in a big way.
- 29:06Speaker 1: The last four weeks that's changed, that's flipped, um, and
- 29:09Speaker 1: he's been super impact, impactful, and he's gonna have to
- 29:12Speaker 1: be that guy, especially this week against the Los Angeles Charges.
- 29:15Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Herbert sent back there,
- 29:18Speaker 1: you can't let him be comfortable, and so you know
- 29:21Speaker 1: you gotta get pushing on the interior obviously, but Josh
- 29:24Speaker 1: Allen's gonna need have a big game. And I saw
- 29:26Speaker 1: Trayvont Walker played well. He was super disruptive in the
- 29:30Speaker 1: run game. He is so big and physical that they
- 29:33Speaker 1: could not handle him with a tight end. And he
- 29:35Speaker 1: had some decent rushes. Nothing great, but decent rushes. Um.
- 29:39Speaker 1: That was one of his better games. Yeah, I thought
- 29:41Speaker 1: I thought he played very well. He was impactful. Um,
- 29:46Speaker 1: Josh down last four weeks. You know, we're worried about
- 29:48Speaker 1: the playoffs right now, but at some point we'll talk
- 29:50Speaker 1: about this offseason. He's going to this fifth year. Do
- 29:54Speaker 1: you let him just play out that fifth year or
- 29:56Speaker 1: do you try to sign him to a long term
- 29:58Speaker 1: deal right now. It's it'll be interes thing after the
- 30:00Speaker 1: last four weeks and if they make a playoff run,
- 30:02Speaker 1: let's say they go win, you know, well they have
- 30:05Speaker 1: to be they have to win and probably be Kansas
- 30:07Speaker 1: City next week. So if he went in and had
- 30:09Speaker 1: two sacks against Mahomes and they won that game, then
- 30:12Speaker 1: you're sitting there saying, oh, maybe we need to pay
- 30:15Speaker 1: him or he he gets like a two a couple
- 30:17Speaker 1: of sacks of Herbert. Yeah, this is a money run
- 30:20Speaker 1: for him. I mean, kudos to him. It's it's happening
- 30:22Speaker 1: at the right time. People are watching him. So I
- 30:25Speaker 1: think you have to find a way to keep him. Well,
- 30:28Speaker 1: I mean you don't have to. You can keep under
- 30:29Speaker 1: the fifth year. You can. They're playing next year. And
- 30:32Speaker 1: he doesn't seem like the kind of guy that would
- 30:34Speaker 1: not show up for Canada. He's a that's that's what
- 30:37Speaker 1: the He's the type of guy you need on your team.
- 30:40Speaker 1: He's a great locker room guy. He practices hard. It's important.
- 30:43Speaker 1: I'm convinced he was playing through injury. I tend to
- 30:47Speaker 1: agree with you because this this guy that we're seeing
- 30:49Speaker 1: now is not the guy we saw early in the season,
- 30:52Speaker 1: and he wants to be here, Pete, he wants to
- 30:54Speaker 1: be in Jacksonville. Like, you need to keep guys who
- 30:57Speaker 1: want to be here. I I think they'll find a
- 30:59Speaker 1: way to keep him, and I think they would extend
- 31:01Speaker 1: him because eventually, because you'd like to keep him around.
- 31:05Speaker 1: Walker played much better, Art and Key continues to make plays. Man,
- 31:08Speaker 1: he's a good football player. That's a good guy to
- 31:11Speaker 1: have in your rotation. And I think Hamilton's has played
- 31:14Speaker 1: really well down the stretch. Um and Corey Peters made
- 31:19Speaker 1: some plays. He was like, who is this guy? Yeah?
- 31:24Speaker 1: I told remember I mentioned him last week and you
- 31:26Speaker 1: kind of poo pooed it. Yeah you did. I said,
- 31:30Speaker 1: he's been playing pretty good football. I mean they picked
- 31:32Speaker 1: him up and he's been a good addition there. You know,
- 31:35Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you look at that front and
- 31:37Speaker 1: they're pretty good. I mean they're physical. Roy Roberts and
- 31:40Speaker 1: Harrod's didn't have the kind of game I thought he
- 31:42Speaker 1: would have. He he wasn't as good as he's been. Um.
- 31:45Speaker 1: You know, the linebackers were You're still getting those mistakes
- 31:49Speaker 1: here and there. And Muma, Muma made a play in
- 31:52Speaker 1: the backfield. That was a hell of a play. But
- 31:54Speaker 1: he used to make that tackle in the open field.
- 31:56Speaker 1: And then one day and it felt like and again
- 31:58Speaker 1: I don't watching tape, but if like we were struggling
- 32:01Speaker 1: covering the tight ends at the linebacker they were they
- 32:04Speaker 1: have most of the catches for the Titans. Well you
- 32:07Speaker 1: know what that is. That's a classic case of a young,
- 32:09Speaker 1: aggressive defense that you kind of get going with the
- 32:12Speaker 1: flow and you come back the other way with the
- 32:14Speaker 1: tight end. You know that you guys lost the game
- 32:17Speaker 1: to them once to the exact it's thirty years ago.
- 32:20Speaker 1: If you lost the same exact way, that's what they do.
- 32:24Speaker 1: They've always done that. And but you're right, the linebackers,
- 32:28Speaker 1: Lloyd gets lost even on God, there was a play
- 32:32Speaker 1: where he fell down like in coverage he tripped. Do
- 32:35Speaker 1: you remember that? And and it might even been on
- 32:38Speaker 1: it might even been on the on the on the
- 32:41Speaker 1: sack fumble. It might have been on that play because
- 32:44Speaker 1: if you play that play, I think he's dropping into
- 32:47Speaker 1: his drop and he's actually tripping over his own feet.
- 32:49Speaker 1: I mean, it's just bad things. Bad things happen at times.
- 32:53Speaker 1: And uh, and and that that's a lot of youth
- 32:56Speaker 1: at that linebacker spot, no matter which one is playing,
- 32:58Speaker 1: and Muma played more by the way, Yeah, I think
- 33:01Speaker 1: moom is better right now. And I think if you're
- 33:04Speaker 1: against the Chargers, i'd dark Muma because he's better in coverage.
- 33:08Speaker 1: He's more sound like and you better be in coverage
- 33:11Speaker 1: because boy, they will slice and dice you. And and
- 33:15Speaker 1: Eckler is dangerous as hell. I mean, asking game, he
- 33:18Speaker 1: could do so many things. And I thought the two
- 33:20Speaker 1: corners were outstanding the other night. Now that's not exactly
- 33:23Speaker 1: the greatest receiving group in the world, but they were.
- 33:26Speaker 1: They were. They've been really by the way, the two
- 33:27Speaker 1: of them have been really good in the last month
- 33:30Speaker 1: of the season together. Well, I think Tyson Campbell has played,
- 33:35Speaker 1: for the most part, really good this year. In the
- 33:36Speaker 1: back half has been outstanding. He's playing better with his
- 33:39Speaker 1: back to the ball. He's finding the ball. Remember early
- 33:42Speaker 1: in the season and last year he really struggling man
- 33:45Speaker 1: on those deep routes of turning. He'd be in the
- 33:47Speaker 1: perfect position, but identifying and finding it for he is
- 33:50Speaker 1: night and day. He is so much better at that.
- 33:52Speaker 1: And Darius Williams has been so much better since they
- 33:55Speaker 1: put him outside, well, he's an outside corner. Pizza on
- 33:57Speaker 1: the show was saying that for weeks it's just amazing.
- 34:01Speaker 1: And then the two safeties ration, Jake is just shows up.
- 34:03Speaker 1: It makes big plays and and Cisco is a much
- 34:06Speaker 1: better player than he was in the early part of
- 34:08Speaker 1: the season. That that's the scary thing if you're playing them,
- 34:12Speaker 1: and if you're even if you're Kansas City or somebody,
- 34:15Speaker 1: you see these guys. I keep saying this, but it
- 34:18Speaker 1: reminds me of nineties six a little bit. You can
- 34:21Speaker 1: see it's starting to get the confidence and they're starting
- 34:25Speaker 1: because this is only for what they're going to be
- 34:27Speaker 1: for the next decade. This is only scratching this or
- 34:29Speaker 1: at least for the next five years or whatever. This
- 34:32Speaker 1: is only scratching the surface of what they can be.
- 34:34Speaker 1: It really is, but you can see it. Young guys
- 34:38Speaker 1: are starting to believe in themselves. And Tony, that's exactly
- 34:42Speaker 1: what happened to your team. And you know, look, if
- 34:47Speaker 1: you if you win this week, you'd go play a
- 34:51Speaker 1: team you're probably gonna be a double digit underdog too,
- 34:53Speaker 1: or at least nine, not gonna be it's not gonna
- 34:55Speaker 1: be sixteen, but would be nine, same kind of scenario.
- 34:59Speaker 1: How many people have the Chiefs in the Super Bowl already?
- 35:01Speaker 1: A lot got the m v P. I mean that
- 35:04Speaker 1: Broncos team was was Terrell Davis was the m v
- 35:07Speaker 1: P that he was? He the MVP that year? No,
- 35:10Speaker 1: I don't think he was the first year. Was a rookie, No,
- 35:14Speaker 1: not that that was his second year. Yeah it was.
- 35:21Speaker 1: But I mean it's the same type of scenario, and
- 35:25Speaker 1: it's just a bunch of young guys starting to believe
- 35:27Speaker 1: in themselves. If you're asking me who I think the
- 35:31Speaker 1: favorite NFC win the Super Bowl is is the Bengals.
- 35:37Speaker 1: You're all over the Bengals. I'm Joe Burrow. I worry
- 35:41Speaker 1: about their offensive line a little bit though, Yeah, no,
- 35:45Speaker 1: it's fair. I'm thinking that, I mean outstanding. But what
- 35:51Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks in the a f C playoffs, by
- 35:53Speaker 1: the way, I mean Mahomes, Alan Burrow, Herbert, Lawrence, and Lamar.
- 36:00Speaker 1: If he's playing, we don't know if he's playing right,
- 36:03Speaker 1: but if he's playing, think about that, that's an m
- 36:05Speaker 1: v P at the bottom with the seven emerging star
- 36:08Speaker 1: Herbert who has been a star already, and then and
- 36:11Speaker 1: then the rest of them revolves elevating themselves to start.
- 36:14Speaker 1: That's that's the elite of the elite in in you
- 36:17Speaker 1: know football right there, that's what that is. I mean,
- 36:19Speaker 1: you go to the NFC. Hurts had a great year,
- 36:22Speaker 1: Dak Prescott is not playing well. Tom Brady hasn't played well.
- 36:25Speaker 1: Is at the end Brock Purdy the best? The best
- 36:30Speaker 1: buying quarterbacks in the NFL? Are Wow, you're putting you're
- 36:36Speaker 1: putting a certain somebody in that five. Well he won
- 36:41Speaker 1: one of the best last week? Did say last week?
- 36:44Speaker 1: But so you put Trevor Lawrence at the top five
- 36:46Speaker 1: quarterback right now in the National Football So you put
- 36:49Speaker 1: him ahead, you take him ahead of Hurts, you would wow, there,
- 36:56Speaker 1: he's definitely one of the top five. Who would you
- 36:59Speaker 1: take Hurts? Your head? Hurt, sir? Who for Lawrence? I
- 37:05Speaker 1: would take Lawrence? Why are you looking at me? But
- 37:08Speaker 1: because my style is different though it doesn't mean he's
- 37:10Speaker 1: played better. My style is different. Josh Allenson played great yesterday.
- 37:19Speaker 1: No he didn't know he didn't. Is he a top
- 37:21Speaker 1: five quarterback? Yeah? Yeah he is. Look, you can make
- 37:26Speaker 1: a case for Lawrence. I I understand it. In case
- 37:29Speaker 1: it's a fact. Trevor Lawrence is not played better than
- 37:34Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts this year. Pete, I'm just gonna do that.
- 37:37Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you a very simple question. You answer
- 37:39Speaker 1: the question right, Homes Burrow, Alan Herbert in some order,
- 37:45Speaker 1: top four quarterbacks in the NFL. Yes, okay, So now
- 37:51Speaker 1: let's let's go through the rest. Um, who are you
- 37:54Speaker 1: taking Lawrence Hurts? Me? I'm taking Lawrence because I don't
- 37:58Speaker 1: like taking Radio Lawrence. But let me ask you. Just
- 38:02Speaker 1: answer the question Lawrence for the future, Lawrence or oh
- 38:06Speaker 1: come on, Lawrence or Lamar Jackson. I don't like the style,
- 38:12Speaker 1: so I take Lawrence lads or two Lawrence Lawrence or
- 38:17Speaker 1: Dak Prescott Lawrence, lawrenceer Er Rogers for the long term,
- 38:26Speaker 1: Lars Lawrence. So tell me who's Lawrence hasn't played better
- 38:32Speaker 1: than Jalen Hurts this year. I didn't say that. I
- 38:36Speaker 1: said he's one of the top five quarterbacks going in
- 38:39Speaker 1: the playoffs. Why value wise, he's one of the top
- 38:42Speaker 1: five quarterbacks in the league. Yes, I'm saying if you're
- 38:46Speaker 1: picking teams right and you're picking would but if you're
- 38:52Speaker 1: picking an m v P, he's not one of the
- 38:54Speaker 1: top five. Saying he Jalen Hurt. You just discount Jalen Hurt.
- 38:59Speaker 1: He's played better than in this year. Let's come back.
- 39:04Speaker 1: We've got plenty of time for this discussion ahead. We've
- 39:08Speaker 1: got a whole other hour coming up as well. We'll
- 39:10Speaker 1: come back in a moment. We'll take a look at

- 41:41Speaker 1: their fourth division title and franchise history, two of those
- 41:44Speaker 1: in the a f C Central, of course, Tony was
- 41:48Speaker 1: a part of those, and then seen the a f
- 41:50Speaker 1: C South title for the Jaguars. They've done it now
- 41:53Speaker 1: for a second time in this division. This will be
- 41:55Speaker 1: the eighth season the Jaguars have made the playoffs all time.
- 42:00Speaker 1: And uh, you know they all obviously in short of
- 42:04Speaker 1: the Super Bowl three a f C Championship game appearances
- 42:08Speaker 1: and losses, two of those ninety six and ninety nine
- 42:11Speaker 1: and then seventeen season as well. So you know, as
- 42:16Speaker 1: you guys said earlier, it's just about getting in the tournament,
- 42:18Speaker 1: and you know, taking advantage of the situation in front
- 42:22Speaker 1: of your first prime time home playoff game in Janguars history.
- 42:26Speaker 1: They've had four other playoff games here at the Bank,
- 42:29Speaker 1: So take advantage of this, right Pete. Well, you know what, JP,
- 42:33Speaker 1: when you look at the three times they've been in
- 42:35Speaker 1: the championship game, the two times that they had the
- 42:38Speaker 1: best chance to win, they weren't the best team that
- 42:41Speaker 1: they had in other words, the team was much better
- 42:44Speaker 1: than ninety six and much better than seventeen, But ninety
- 42:48Speaker 1: six and seventeen had real shots to go to the
- 42:50Speaker 1: Super Bowl, right, I mean they played in New England
- 42:53Speaker 1: in that one game and should have won that game.
- 42:55Speaker 1: The ninety six they were the better team, should have
- 42:57Speaker 1: won that game. And then in two thousand seven team
- 43:01Speaker 1: was Miles jack Down, that's the question. They would have
- 43:04Speaker 1: won that game and so and then the best team
- 43:06Speaker 1: was THEAM and that team got rocked in that game.
- 43:09Speaker 1: I mean they got they got dominated after the second quarter.
- 43:12Speaker 1: So it was it was in the second, third quarter,
- 43:15Speaker 1: third quarter when they after the safety, after the safety,
- 43:18Speaker 1: after the fight in the locker room at halftime, and
- 43:20Speaker 1: then the safety's really too too happy about that, Tony.
- 43:27Speaker 1: Tony is not really loud. Actually, honestly, have no idea
- 43:30Speaker 1: about it because I was up with my knee in
- 43:33Speaker 1: embrace tearing. You have an idea about it, don't don't
- 43:38Speaker 1: fool you. You weren't there, but you know the story,
- 43:42Speaker 1: not the specifics. They really don't. I don't know what's
- 43:46Speaker 1: the story for those who weren't around. What's your side
- 43:48Speaker 1: of the story, Pete Reggie Barlow fumbled a punt. Coach
- 43:53Speaker 1: Reggie Barlow, by the way going into the hall his
- 43:55Speaker 1: college Hall of Fame, congrats to him. Reggie Barlow fumbled
- 43:58Speaker 1: a punt and they came in at halftime, and Larry Smith,
- 44:04Speaker 1: who was certifiably um out of his mind at times,
- 44:09Speaker 1: decided he was going to get into it with Barlow
- 44:11Speaker 1: for fumbling. And next thing you know, you had the
- 44:13Speaker 1: two units going at each other, and there was a
- 44:15Speaker 1: little scuffle in the locker room at the halftime, and
- 44:18Speaker 1: then they came out and they had the safety, and
- 44:20Speaker 1: then the kick returned. The franchise wasn't ever the same.
- 44:23Speaker 1: I mean, that's the bottom line. Once Derek Mason ripped
- 44:27Speaker 1: the kick. You guys, could those shoes you kept from Atlanta.
- 44:30Speaker 1: You could have put them away because you didn't need
- 44:32Speaker 1: him anymore. It wasn't a good situation. No, And you
- 44:38Speaker 1: were the better team. That's I'll take that to my grave.
- 44:41Speaker 1: The Jacksonville Jaguars and nine nine were the better team.
- 44:43Speaker 1: In fact, they would have won the whole thing. You
- 44:45Speaker 1: would have beat the Rams and the number one people
- 44:47Speaker 1: forget you had the number one defense, you had that offense.
- 44:49Speaker 1: You were the better team. Yeah, but we didn't get
- 44:52Speaker 1: done so well, if Couplin didn't have players fighting half
- 44:56Speaker 1: time maybe I always I always, I always tell right now,
- 45:02Speaker 1: I said, listen about if I wouldn't have been hurt,
- 45:04Speaker 1: we would have won. He he still would have thrown
- 45:11Speaker 1: it into the stomach of the guy because that was
- 45:15Speaker 1: when you had him. Remember he went right down the
- 45:17Speaker 1: field second time and mark through an end zone interception
- 45:19Speaker 1: with Marcus Robertson who pick it off. Yeah, it would
- 45:22Speaker 1: be it would have been fourteen nothing. Yeah, the game
- 45:25Speaker 1: was over and that turned to turn the tide and
- 45:27Speaker 1: then you had to fumble fun at the end of
- 45:28Speaker 1: the half. Well as as Trevor Lawrence said last week,
- 45:32Speaker 1: he was three months old when all that happened. So
- 45:35Speaker 1: they're forging their own path now, Pete. They can't worry.
- 45:37Speaker 1: Of course, the players don't worry about that makes Tony said,
- 45:40Speaker 1: that makes Tony sixty. Well it makes me seventy. But
- 45:45Speaker 1: but that's the way they should view it. That has
- 45:47Speaker 1: nothing to do. That's what I've always said. People are like, oh,
- 45:50Speaker 1: it's the curse, it's this or that or that did this.
- 45:53Speaker 1: I don't because I know people believe in that crap.
- 45:56Speaker 1: I don't. And the only the only way that has
- 46:00Speaker 1: any power is if you allow it. And the and
- 46:04Speaker 1: I give Doug Peterson in this group credit, they don't
- 46:07Speaker 1: buy any of that crap. They're doing their own thing
- 46:11Speaker 1: about that was that you can get hot at the
- 46:13Speaker 1: right time and become a legitimate threat to go to
- 46:15Speaker 1: the super Bowl, because you guys, in nine, that team
- 46:19Speaker 1: was much better than two thousand seventeen, and and those
- 46:23Speaker 1: two teams had almost at the end of the fourth
- 46:26Speaker 1: quarter they had chances to win those games. The ninety
- 46:29Speaker 1: nine team didn't. So that just showed me to get
- 46:32Speaker 1: hot at the right time. You gotta get hot. You
- 46:34Speaker 1: said it earlier in the show. Get a hot quarterback,
- 46:36Speaker 1: get hot at the right time, and you can make
- 46:37Speaker 1: a little run. Well, what's been great about this run
- 46:41Speaker 1: and what they've done, and I know we have a
- 46:42Speaker 1: couple of seconds, is is that this team, regardless of
- 46:47Speaker 1: what happens in the playoffs we'll go into the next year,
- 46:50Speaker 1: is the favorite of the f C. And believe they're
- 46:52Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the FC. A second
- 46:55Speaker 1: hour cuming up more with Tony and Pete after this
- 46:57Speaker 1: is Jaguars Happy Hour and the Jaguars Digital Network. Now
- 47:11Speaker 1: that you're in the tournament, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. Okay.
- 47:17Speaker 1: What matters. What matters now is it's just handling your
- 47:21Speaker 1: business one day at the time I said a week
- 47:23Speaker 1: ago when we left Houston, just be you, don't change.
- 47:27Speaker 1: Be who you are more than ever. That's what we
- 47:30Speaker 1: have to do. We have to be up. Okay, we
- 47:33Speaker 1: have to be us. Are there some things to clean up, Sure,
- 47:35Speaker 1: there's things to clean up, but you know what, we're
- 47:37Speaker 1: gonna celebrate this one. We're gonna celebrate this. That's the
- 47:42Speaker 1: head coach Dog Peterson, of course, in the locker room
- 47:45Speaker 1: after Jaguars went over the Tennessee Titans to secure the
- 47:48Speaker 1: a f C South and it's our number two of
- 47:51Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy, our j P Shadrick, Pee, Prisco and Tony
- 47:54Speaker 1: was silly coming up. The Jags are the division champions
- 47:57Speaker 1: after it's twenty the sixteen win in Week eighteen, and
- 48:00Speaker 1: it took a strong defensive performance only three points allowed
- 48:03Speaker 1: in the second half two second half takeaways, including the
- 48:07Speaker 1: Ray Shawn Jenkins sack fumble that Josh Allen returned thirty
- 48:10Speaker 1: seven yards for the game winning score withinside three minutes
- 48:14Speaker 1: to play in the fourth quarter. It's the fourth division
- 48:16Speaker 1: title in franchise history, two back in the a f
- 48:18Speaker 1: C Central, now two in the a f C South,
- 48:21Speaker 1: and the eighth season the Jaguars have made the playoffs.
- 48:25Speaker 1: It will be only the fifth ever playoff game in Jacksonville.
- 48:29Speaker 1: The Jags are three and one in the previous four.
- 48:31Speaker 1: It's an eight fifteen kickoff time Saturday. Al Michael's Tony
- 48:34Speaker 1: Dungee on the call a NBC and Paramount, plus a
- 48:37Speaker 1: national radio coverage on Westwood One, and Jaguar's head coach
- 48:41Speaker 1: Doug Peterson spoke with the media today. How about getting
- 48:45Speaker 1: set for the Chargers a second time this season? Just
- 48:49Speaker 1: from an X and O standpoint, you know, and and
- 48:51Speaker 1: personnel standpoint, kind of how how we attack them, how
- 48:54Speaker 1: they attacked us, you know, both sides of the ball
- 48:56Speaker 1: and special teams, and then you kind of look at
- 48:58Speaker 1: the whole body of works and you know, and if
- 49:01Speaker 1: there's anything that's changed and why it changed and um,
- 49:05Speaker 1: you know, and then you put your game plan together,
- 49:07Speaker 1: you know, that way and according to that and um,
- 49:10Speaker 1: you know, this is a good football team. Um. You know,
- 49:13Speaker 1: they got a great young quarterback as well and and uh,
- 49:16Speaker 1: you know, um, just I know they'll be they'll be
- 49:19Speaker 1: ready to go. They're looking forward to this opportunity, just
- 49:21Speaker 1: like we are. The full Doug Peterson press conference from
- 49:23Speaker 1: the day available on Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars social media.
- 49:27Speaker 1: Pete Prisco and Tony Boselli back with us now. Of course,
- 49:29Speaker 1: the Jaguars blasted the Chargers back in week three, thirty
- 49:32Speaker 1: eight to ten. That was out in l A. That
- 49:34Speaker 1: is so long ago. Now, the personnel is different, a
- 49:37Speaker 1: lot of things have changed for both sides. So as
- 49:40Speaker 1: Doug said that, you take a peek at it and
- 49:42Speaker 1: then take a look at what has changed. You know. Uh,
- 49:45Speaker 1: there's one guy on the show that guaranteed of Jaguars
- 49:48Speaker 1: playoff run and it was back on December twelfth. Then
- 49:52Speaker 1: we have it for you right now. So go ahead
- 49:55Speaker 1: and here we go. JA for low payoffs. She's done it.
- 50:08Speaker 1: Oh my god, she's done it. That was back on
- 50:13Speaker 1: Decembers wealth and it worked out way ago, Tony. Yeah,
- 50:19Speaker 1: before I before I gloat about nailing the playoffs, Um,
- 50:23Speaker 1: I want to make a couple of comments from what
- 50:25Speaker 1: Doug said. Just listening to his post game remarks, and
- 50:31Speaker 1: I've found myself thinking this several times this year. And
- 50:34Speaker 1: I and I was fortunate enough to play for which
- 50:37Speaker 1: I believe is the Hall of Fame. Ultimately will be
- 50:39Speaker 1: in the Hall of Fame. Coach Tom Coughlin one of
- 50:41Speaker 1: the great coaches ever to coach in the NFL. There's
- 50:44Speaker 1: no debate about that. In my opinion, I would have
- 50:48Speaker 1: loved to play for Doug Peterson, and I can see
- 50:52Speaker 1: why the players loved to play for him. This team
- 50:55Speaker 1: wants to be here, they want to be on his team.
- 50:57Speaker 1: I would have loved to play for Doug Peterson of
- 50:59Speaker 1: how he handles the team, how he handles situations, and
- 51:02Speaker 1: I would have loved to be a left tackle in
- 51:04Speaker 1: his system. It is a friendly offensive line system. They
- 51:09Speaker 1: moved the pocket, they play action passed, they they're creative.
- 51:12Speaker 1: They put pressure on the defense. They forced them to.
- 51:15Speaker 1: They can't just pin their ears back all the time.
- 51:18Speaker 1: I mean, you talk about a great system with a
- 51:21Speaker 1: great head coach. And Phil Rapsher, the offensive line coach
- 51:26Speaker 1: who I know the most about because you know coach's
- 51:28Speaker 1: offensive line is will be known soon, in my opinion,
- 51:32Speaker 1: is one of the better offensive line coaches. If he's
- 51:33Speaker 1: not already known that. I probably inner circles know that,
- 51:36Speaker 1: but the rest of the league's going to know that
- 51:39Speaker 1: one of the best offensive line coaches that I've seen,
- 51:43Speaker 1: this would be a great place to play. And I
- 51:45Speaker 1: say that just you know it would be. As a player,
- 51:48Speaker 1: I'd have loved it. I've been great. I think it translates,
- 51:52Speaker 1: It translates into the future future that will get around
- 51:55Speaker 1: the league. Guys will know this is a place you
- 51:58Speaker 1: want to be. You have a fan chise quarterback, you
- 52:01Speaker 1: have a great head coach with good coaches, you have
- 52:05Speaker 1: an owner who spends money who makes it player friendly.
- 52:10Speaker 1: This will I'm telling you right now, this this year
- 52:13Speaker 1: has been huge. It's it's accomplished more than I ever
- 52:17Speaker 1: thought it would. My goal this year was established Trevor
- 52:21Speaker 1: as the quarterback of the future and franchise just race
- 52:23Speaker 1: everyone's doubts, because it was never a doubt in my mind.
- 52:25Speaker 1: But after the year under Urban, you know, people were squawking,
- 52:29Speaker 1: and early in the season people were squawking. So established
- 52:33Speaker 1: that check that box, play meaningful games in December, well
- 52:36Speaker 1: they did more than that. They went to They're going
- 52:38Speaker 1: to the playoffs. Um, I mean those are my things now.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Add to what they've done, they've changed the culture. It
- 52:45Speaker 1: changed the environment. They're starting to change how people look
- 52:48Speaker 1: at Jacksonville and I and they're going to create a
- 52:52Speaker 1: place where free agents want to come. People are gonna say,
- 52:56Speaker 1: and you'll get veterans when they when they know they
- 52:59Speaker 1: have two or three is left saying, you know what,
- 53:00Speaker 1: I'll go play for a little bit less of Jacksonville
- 53:03Speaker 1: because it's a great city, it's a great organization, have
- 53:06Speaker 1: a great coach, and they have a franchise quarterback. I
- 53:09Speaker 1: have a chance to win the championship in Jacksonville. I
- 53:11Speaker 1: believe that was all established this year. I really do.
- 53:15Speaker 1: And we were and I we were closing out the
- 53:17Speaker 1: last the last hour and we had to go. This
- 53:20Speaker 1: year's established, and I think the belief is in that building,
- 53:23Speaker 1: in that locker room, regardless of what happens here on out,
- 53:27Speaker 1: that they're gonna be the best team in the NFC
- 53:29Speaker 1: South next year, and they are gonna believe that they
- 53:31Speaker 1: should be winning the division and competing for Super Bowl
- 53:34Speaker 1: because they don't feel like they're one of the best
- 53:36Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. That's what happened when we left
- 53:41Speaker 1: ninety six. Yeah, short of the super Bowl. We came
- 53:43Speaker 1: back like we're like, we're gonna win a division. We're
- 53:46Speaker 1: gonna go, We're gonna go compete for the super Bowl.
- 53:51Speaker 1: And and not only that, Tony Trevor Lawrence gives a
- 53:54Speaker 1: sustainable success for the decade. Now, I gotta do it right.
- 53:59Speaker 1: But they're gonna be in the mix. You you have
- 54:01Speaker 1: that quarterback, you could be in the mix for a
- 54:03Speaker 1: long time. You gotta supplement them. You gotta be good
- 54:06Speaker 1: with the cap. And they have some cap issues right now.
- 54:08Speaker 1: Let's not fool anybody. They have cap issues that are
- 54:10Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with. But you can make the
- 54:12Speaker 1: cap work anywhere you want to. And you have an
- 54:14Speaker 1: owner who wants to spend money or you know he
- 54:16Speaker 1: can spend money. It makes it a lot easier to
- 54:18Speaker 1: deal with the cap because you can go cash over
- 54:20Speaker 1: cap and and kind of you know, pay out those
- 54:22Speaker 1: bonuses and kind of ease up the cap. So it's
- 54:24Speaker 1: more than capable of being handled. But that quarterback does
- 54:28Speaker 1: that to you. You there, You look at the other
- 54:30Speaker 1: teams in the AMC South, look at the quarterback situation.
- 54:34Speaker 1: One's gonna have a rookie quarterback one has uncertainty. The Titans,
- 54:36Speaker 1: who knows who's playing a quarterback to them and look
- 54:38Speaker 1: at the disaster that is the Indianapolis Colts quarterback situation.
- 54:42Speaker 1: Jacksonville is the favorite. They should be, and not only that,
- 54:45Speaker 1: they'll be the favorite in years going forward because that's
- 54:48Speaker 1: what Trevor Lawrence does to him. So I'm with you, Tony,
- 54:51Speaker 1: and I think it's more than just the quarterback pet.
- 54:53Speaker 1: I think that's a huge part. I'm with you about sustainability.
- 54:55Speaker 1: You have to have that you and I are. I'm
- 54:58Speaker 1: gonna add the head coach. Having the right head coaches
- 55:01Speaker 1: is because and I'm not saying anything bad about Brandon's
- 55:06Speaker 1: Daley at all, but that organization is now on year
- 55:10Speaker 1: three of having Justin Herbert and they're just now making
- 55:12Speaker 1: the playoffs for the first time, and they it wasn't
- 55:15Speaker 1: like they knocked it out of the park this year.
- 55:19Speaker 1: And so you are saying something bad about Brandon's I
- 55:23Speaker 1: mean I usually do, so I'll be honest about it.
- 55:25Speaker 1: I do. I think he got last year was out
- 55:27Speaker 1: of control with his going for the fourth down. He
- 55:29Speaker 1: makes some really strange decisions in games, and I thought
- 55:33Speaker 1: he was why did he play everybody on Sunday? Yeah,
- 55:36Speaker 1: But I don't want to make it about Brandon stand.
- 55:37Speaker 1: My point is, I want to make it about Doug Peterson. Yeah,
- 55:40Speaker 1: that's your poemach other having the combination of Doug Peterson
- 55:47Speaker 1: with Trevor Lawrence, with an owner that is committed and
- 55:52Speaker 1: has the resources to make sure you have all the
- 55:54Speaker 1: tools to win. That's what every franchise dreams about. That's
- 56:00Speaker 1: what we've been asking for here in Jacksonville for years.
- 56:03Speaker 1: We have it. It's here. I didn't see you mentioned
- 56:06Speaker 1: the general manager. Well, I was talking because we were
- 56:10Speaker 1: talking about no. I mean, look, we've all been critical
- 56:14Speaker 1: of Trent Balky. Let's be honest about it. We have been.
- 56:17Speaker 1: We've knocked him, we've we've we've I mean, he was
- 56:20Speaker 1: the clown. They had clown faces of him last year.
- 56:24Speaker 1: But let's be real. He made some pretty good signings
- 56:27Speaker 1: this year. He made some ones that are suspect, And
- 56:30Speaker 1: you got a question. We've questioned his draft picking of linebackers,
- 56:34Speaker 1: but when you look at their offense, he brought in
- 56:36Speaker 1: Evan Ingram, he brought in Za Jones, he brought in
- 56:39Speaker 1: Christian Kirk. For that he should be applauded. He got
- 56:42Speaker 1: ripped the shreds for all those Remember well they're they're
- 56:45Speaker 1: not in the playoffs without those guys. No, not not
- 56:48Speaker 1: even close. And I said it, I said on the
- 56:50Speaker 1: broadcast UM at the end of the game, and I
- 56:53Speaker 1: mentioned Trent Balky. I think you're exactly right, Pete. I
- 56:57Speaker 1: think you have to get Trent Balky and the Scouts
- 57:00Speaker 1: because those three that you just mentioned, Um, and I
- 57:06Speaker 1: think the only one that was really criticized was the
- 57:08Speaker 1: Christian Kirk because of how much they spent. Say Jones
- 57:11Speaker 1: was a little bit too tony, the one the one
- 57:13Speaker 1: year a deal for anglem wasn't. But say Jones was
- 57:14Speaker 1: a little bit Okay, I didn't. I don't remember that.
- 57:17Speaker 1: I trust you pay attention that more than I do.
- 57:19Speaker 1: But Christian Kirk, for sure. But those three guys are
- 57:23Speaker 1: absolute stuff and they're not. To your point, they are
- 57:26Speaker 1: not in the playoffs without those three. It just doesn't happen.
- 57:31Speaker 1: And you do have to give Um Trent Balking credit
- 57:34Speaker 1: for that. I also think you get give them credit
- 57:37Speaker 1: for a little Khan I because I was signing Lukan,
- 57:42Speaker 1: I was I wasn't against it, but I was shaking
- 57:44Speaker 1: my head a little bit because I always worry about
- 57:46Speaker 1: hiring the best player off the worst defense in the
- 57:48Speaker 1: NFL because he makes tackles, because someone has to make tackles,
- 57:52Speaker 1: and when you're bad, sometimes that guy can do it.
- 57:55Speaker 1: But Alu Khan has been a very stabilizing force in
- 58:00Speaker 1: that defense. And I'm not saying he's a superstar like
- 58:04Speaker 1: big play like knocking out type of linebacker, but he
- 58:08Speaker 1: is damn good. And he's a guy who is steady,
- 58:12Speaker 1: makes plays, gets people lined up, and he's consistent. He
- 58:16Speaker 1: plays every single snap, and the dude is a tackling machine.
- 58:21Speaker 1: I give Trent Balky in the in his staff a
- 58:24Speaker 1: ton of credit for that signing as well. You got
- 58:26Speaker 1: I mean, but Darius Williams now too. If you look
- 58:28Speaker 1: at it where he's playing in the last five six weeks.
- 58:30Speaker 1: It was a bad signing for ten weeks. It was
- 58:33Speaker 1: a good signing for seven weeks. But here's the problem
- 58:35Speaker 1: that being, I think you have to have plans for
- 58:38Speaker 1: guys when you sign him, like I'll go back to
- 58:41Speaker 1: I'll go back to the tray bond walker. You signed
- 58:44Speaker 1: him to be in a stand up outside linebacker, something
- 58:47Speaker 1: he didn't do in college and to be a pass rusher.
- 58:50Speaker 1: He didn't do that in college. Now I'm happy Tray
- 58:52Speaker 1: bond Walker is on the team because he's disruptive as hell,
- 58:55Speaker 1: and I think he once you find the right position
- 58:57Speaker 1: fit for him, he's gonna be dominant. But you should
- 59:01Speaker 1: have a plan when you bring someone. They and their
- 59:04Speaker 1: plan was to bring Darius Williams in the nickel and
- 59:07Speaker 1: that was the wrong plan. It's worked out and he's
- 59:11Speaker 1: played outstanding football outside, but when you brought him in,
- 59:15Speaker 1: don't forget you had a high price free agent and
- 59:17Speaker 1: Shack and Jack Griffin outside playing your other starting quarter
- 59:22Speaker 1: opposite Tyson Campbell. So I'm not I don't want to
- 59:25Speaker 1: get you know, we can pay him. We can pay
- 59:27Speaker 1: him for some things, there's no question, but paying up
- 59:30Speaker 1: for draft into two linebackers, I mean, that was that
- 59:32Speaker 1: was That's never been a good plan. We never I've
- 59:35Speaker 1: never I will never get off of that one. You
- 59:37Speaker 1: you you traded up to get Lloyd and you drafted
- 59:39Speaker 1: another one that that made no sense to me. And
- 59:42Speaker 1: the third round is probably gonna start in the playoffs
- 59:44Speaker 1: over the first rounder that you trade it up for. Um.
- 59:46Speaker 1: But I don't want to be negative because like you
- 59:50Speaker 1: gotta give it, you're gonna credit. You gotta give him
- 59:52Speaker 1: the I'm going back to your point, we've done enough
- 59:56Speaker 1: of the beating it up when they were struggling. Overall,
- 1:00:00Speaker 1: if you look at the season, they won nine games,
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: they won division and guys that were brought into free
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: agents were key to that. And that is Trent Balky's responsibility.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: And give Trent Balky credit for doing a good job
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: of picking and acquiring the right players that fit Doug
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: Peterson's offense and what he wanted to do, signing a
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: Lou Khan to bring bring bring some stability at the
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: linebacker position, the middle linebacker because we did not have
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: a middle linebacker here for years that could do that.
- 1:00:29Speaker 1: And he you got. You gotta tip your hat to
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: Trent for doing those two things. Question. Question, knowing what
- 1:00:35Speaker 1: you know now about Walker Little, was extending Cam Robinson
- 1:00:40Speaker 1: a mistake, Well, that's that's tough to say because he
- 1:00:47Speaker 1: couldn't beat out the right tackle and training camp well,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: and the right tackle since got on and had a
- 1:00:51Speaker 1: heck of it, been the better tackle of the two.
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: And he's been the best tackle on the team from
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: the way there was a reason he couldn't beat him out. Well,
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: with the way he played, I think he would have
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: beat out Cam Robinson. Either he was not better. He
- 1:01:04Speaker 1: was not better than Cam Robinson in the summer in
- 1:01:07Speaker 1: the summer, or better than Cam Robinson in the last
- 1:01:10Speaker 1: four weeks of the season. I don't think so. But
- 1:01:14Speaker 1: but I don't think there's been a fall off, not
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: not that big. He's been as good ass protection. I
- 1:01:20Speaker 1: thought last week he was better. Last week he was.
- 1:01:23Speaker 1: He was good. It was good on Sunday or Saturday.
- 1:01:26Speaker 1: And well, and here's the big here's the big test.
- 1:01:29Speaker 1: This week's the biggest test young man's had. You know what,
- 1:01:34Speaker 1: You once had a big test like that in the
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: big playoff game and you made it. You earn your
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: stripes in that game. By the way, if I'm walk
- 1:01:43Speaker 1: a little, I would relish this opportunity. You probably as
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: nervous as hell I was when I go face Bruce Smith.
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: And not by the way, Joey Boson, Clear Mack or
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: not Bruce Smith. No, they're not, but they're they're might be.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: Yeahs might be close to that. Uh, but but Joey
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: Bosa and Clil Mack, are you know pro Bowl level players,
- 1:02:09Speaker 1: consistent pro level players. It's a great test for both tackles,
- 1:02:13Speaker 1: and I think it's a great opportunity for Walker Little
- 1:02:16Speaker 1: and go say hey, listen, I'm gonna start tackle here. Yeah.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: One one quick thing, JP, I know you met your reference.
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: You had Doug referencing the first time they met, and
- 1:02:26Speaker 1: how things have changed. Don't forget Herbert had rib injury
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: that day and he didn't have he didn't have Mike Williams,
- 1:02:33Speaker 1: and he didn't have Keenan Allen in that game. That's
- 1:02:36Speaker 1: a big that's a big difference. But they did. I mean,
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: think about this. Eckler only had what do you think
- 1:02:44Speaker 1: Ekeler had five yards rushing and eight catches for forty
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: eight yards of that game, right, I mean you know,
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: and and then you think, okay, well you had Bosa
- 1:02:53Speaker 1: and and and in that game you know what he
- 1:02:55Speaker 1: had He had one solo tackle. He only played the
- 1:02:58Speaker 1: first two series. That's got hurt. And then mac Mac
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: had for four solo tackles. I thought, I thought Cam
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: did a great job against clil Mac in that game. Yeah.
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: I mean, look, it's they're different teams, we get it.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: But I think this Jacksonville team, even though that team
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: beat the daylights out of them. I think this team
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: is a better version than that team was. They're better
- 1:03:21Speaker 1: on defense. I think we're much better than we were
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: at that time. But I think Chargers. So the Chargers,
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: all right, we'll come back in a moment that'll get
- 1:03:28Speaker 1: us to our keeping it real segment and we will
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: compare the weapons on the offensive side for the Chargers
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: and the Jaguars a little later. Your social media questions, Oh,

- 1:04:35Speaker 1: Award Winning Wine by Roberts Munda. Let's get into the
- 1:04:40Speaker 1: matchup this week, guys, Justin Herbert versus Trevor Lawrence. This
- 1:04:44Speaker 1: is a Pete Prisco kind of game if I've ever
- 1:04:46Speaker 1: heard of one. So who has the advantage with first
- 1:04:51Speaker 1: off quarterback talent, the weapons around them? Oh, line, and
- 1:04:56Speaker 1: play calling? Not necessarily in that order, but in general,
- 1:04:59Speaker 1: Pete who has the advantage in this one? Well? Play
- 1:05:04Speaker 1: because I'm an offensive genius. That's why play calling is
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: slam dunk for Doug Peterson, It's not even close. I
- 1:05:11Speaker 1: hate the Chargers offense. That drives me up a wall.
- 1:05:15Speaker 1: The the what they do is they've taken a Howard
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: ser And and they just make him pop gun it
- 1:05:20Speaker 1: too much. So I hate their offense. I take Doug
- 1:05:23Speaker 1: Peterson as a play caller. Offensive line Jacksonville gets the
- 1:05:26Speaker 1: edge with the offensive line. Running back, I'd probably go
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: with Eckler because he can do so many different things.
- 1:05:32Speaker 1: He's so valuable wide receivers. I'd go with the Chargers
- 1:05:37Speaker 1: when they're healthy. But now Mike Williams isn't healthy. He
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: might he's got a back issue. They said it was
- 1:05:41Speaker 1: back spasms, but the way he went off that field, Tony,
- 1:05:45Speaker 1: he couldn't. Have you ever had back spasms? Yeahery series.
- 1:05:50Speaker 1: I know you had back surgery, but did you have
- 1:05:51Speaker 1: back like with spasm? Where could you play the next week?
- 1:05:55Speaker 1: It was spasm? Never when I played, UM, But I've
- 1:05:58Speaker 1: had a back spasm and you can't like if it's bad,
- 1:06:01Speaker 1: you can't move so for how long though depends. If
- 1:06:06Speaker 1: it's just muscular and you can get it to relax,
- 1:06:08Speaker 1: it can be pretty quick. If it's something structural, it's
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: a bigger issue. Yeah and so so he got up.
- 1:06:13Speaker 1: But I'd still give them the edge at wide receiver, quarterback. Boy,
- 1:06:18Speaker 1: that's a time I think the experience. I'd probably lean
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: to Herbert right now, but it's it's close. I think
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: Tony's Righty, it's close. I I'd probably take Herbert though,
- 1:06:30Speaker 1: right now. So I would say, um play calling, it's
- 1:06:35Speaker 1: snipy gloss like pizza. Offensive line. The Jaguars are better
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: running back. I agree. I love et N. But the
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: out of the backfield um capabilities that Eckler gives you
- 1:06:46Speaker 1: is he's one of the best receiving backs. I mean
- 1:06:48Speaker 1: he had a hundred and seventeen catches or something crazy.
- 1:06:50Speaker 1: I mean he's he's fabulous Um tight end. I'll take
- 1:06:55Speaker 1: Ingram at tight end and at wide receiver. If Mike
- 1:07:00Speaker 1: Williams is healthy, you gotta go with Chargers only because
- 1:07:03Speaker 1: Keenan Allen is one of the best slot receivers in
- 1:07:05Speaker 1: the game. But it's been really good this year too
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: for them as a third. But it's not just it's
- 1:07:10Speaker 1: not as it's not as big as distance and you
- 1:07:14Speaker 1: would have thought going into the season going into the
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: season have been I got no brainer, it's the Charger.
- 1:07:18Speaker 1: You can make an argument that the combination of Z Jones,
- 1:07:22Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Christian Kirk Um it's it's close like Kurt.
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: I'll say this, Kirk and keep Allen in the slot.
- 1:07:33Speaker 1: Not that big and difference. Kirk is quicker and faster.
- 1:07:37Speaker 1: Keene Allen might be a little bit better route runner
- 1:07:39Speaker 1: and is bigger, but it's not it's not that big
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: and difference. And Z j and Z Jones outside Mike
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: Williams is when he's healthy just because of his size
- 1:07:50Speaker 1: and what he can do. UM with his length, you'd
- 1:07:53Speaker 1: have to give him the edge. But it's not like
- 1:07:55Speaker 1: it's like, oh gosh, like in you know, his third receiver,
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Marvin Jones and Palmber. Palmer's probably in the better year
- 1:08:02Speaker 1: this year. Um, but you're right, it's not that much different.
- 1:08:06Speaker 1: And then at quarterback, I think it's a coin toss.
- 1:08:08Speaker 1: I don't I think you. I'm just telling you. I mean,
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: I look, I think Trevor's gonna be a star, but
- 1:08:15Speaker 1: I think Herbert's a little bit ahead of him right now,
- 1:08:19Speaker 1: just a little bit. Okay, but it'll be Look, it's
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: gonna be fun, you know. And by the way, we
- 1:08:25Speaker 1: gave the edge for play calling to Um, to Doug Peterson.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: That's including the demerits for the one every every game.
- 1:08:35Speaker 1: Right now, you can say it's edge to Herbert. If
- 1:08:39Speaker 1: I was picking quarterbacks, I'm picking Lawrence before I picked Herbert. Well,
- 1:08:43Speaker 1: I mean your ps teal, I mean talking about come on, Look,
- 1:08:50Speaker 1: I think they're both gonna be great quarterbacks. I do.
- 1:08:53Speaker 1: I just think right now, Herbert's ahead of them. I'll
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: get I'll lock it. Let me be a lock right now.
- 1:08:58Speaker 1: Here we go, Here we go about time, Trevor, Lawrence
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: will have four of Lombardi Trophies at the Jacksonville Jaguars
- 1:09:05Speaker 1: than Herbert doesn't wherever he plays. We'll see. Now that's
- 1:09:09Speaker 1: not the argument though, because Aaron Rodgers has one, he's
- 1:09:12Speaker 1: not one of the great quarterbacks of all time. Damn
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: Marino didn't win any That wasn't bad. That's a bad argument.
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: I thought we're gonna lock him going to the super
- 1:09:20Speaker 1: That was lock I was expecting. I must say, we're
- 1:09:24Speaker 1: waiting for your aren't you locking him to go to
- 1:09:25Speaker 1: the super Bowl? But silly? Can you lock him into
- 1:09:30Speaker 1: the championship game? No? No, you see Kansas City's sitting
- 1:09:34Speaker 1: over there. Can you can you lock him through the Yeah?
- 1:09:38Speaker 1: Can you lock this week? There might be a lot
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: about this week. We're gonna wait till the last segment
- 1:09:43Speaker 1: of the lock. Oh, it might be by the way,
- 1:09:47Speaker 1: it might be double locked. Wow, whoa a rare double
- 1:09:52Speaker 1: It could be a double lock. The double locks undefeated.
- 1:09:57Speaker 1: We've never lost a double lock, have we? No, this
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: could be a double lock. I got They asked me
- 1:10:02Speaker 1: earlier today, was on the show, and I said, yeah,
- 1:10:04Speaker 1: I'm probably gonna pick Jacksonville. Probably I did pick Jacksonville.
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to lock it, but
- 1:10:10Speaker 1: I think they'll win the game. But maybe later in
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: the show we could fire up the old double lock.
- 1:10:15Speaker 1: Don't turn that dial because we're about thirty minutes away
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: from finding out if the rare endangered double lock makes
- 1:10:23Speaker 1: an appearance tonight on this happy hour program that was

- 1:11:34Speaker 1: Monday we put the cat signal out. Here's the best
- 1:11:37Speaker 1: we've come up with today. Question number one at sam Mecalore. Uh,
- 1:11:43Speaker 1: seems like young teams often played tight their first time
- 1:11:46Speaker 1: in the playoffs, and felt like our offense did just
- 1:11:49Speaker 1: that in Saturday's playoff game. So do you think we'll
- 1:11:52Speaker 1: be able to play a bit looser this week against
- 1:11:55Speaker 1: l A. I think we were looser. Um, the stakes
- 1:12:01Speaker 1: are higher, Actually they're not, because last week was like
- 1:12:04Speaker 1: a playoff game. If you lose, you're not in, and
- 1:12:08Speaker 1: so I had to play It had a playoff atmosphere
- 1:12:10Speaker 1: for both teams. Um. I don't know if I'm always
- 1:12:15Speaker 1: careful to like to declare a team being tight. Only
- 1:12:19Speaker 1: the guys really knew that they did not play well,
- 1:12:22Speaker 1: but they were facing a good defense. And you know,
- 1:12:25Speaker 1: winning a championship is hard, especially when you're a young team.
- 1:12:29Speaker 1: It's part of the process. You have to go through
- 1:12:31Speaker 1: that situation. Understand it. What it feels like and everything else.
- 1:12:34Speaker 1: So I do think that will help them for the playoffs.
- 1:12:36Speaker 1: I think it will help them with against the charges.
- 1:12:39Speaker 1: I think they come out, I think they're loose, and
- 1:12:43Speaker 1: I think they have one of the best offensive performances
- 1:12:45Speaker 1: of the year. Tony. Do you ever remember a game
- 1:12:48Speaker 1: where you were tight your team? I was tied as
- 1:12:52Speaker 1: hell going in Buffalo. Let me tell you that much
- 1:12:55Speaker 1: was it was the team tight though, Uh uh, I
- 1:13:00Speaker 1: don't know, but we repeat that game. We were down
- 1:13:03Speaker 1: to possessions. Yeah, it was bad. And told what Clyde
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: had that had that play, Yeah it was bad. I
- 1:13:10Speaker 1: think I think we were down. It was like, well
- 1:13:11Speaker 1: it was like thirteen nothing that we kicked the field
- 1:13:13Speaker 1: goal right it and then uh Clyde got the pick
- 1:13:18Speaker 1: made a thirteen ten and that changed everything. Yeah and
- 1:13:21Speaker 1: uh and yeah. I mean, I I just so because
- 1:13:24Speaker 1: I often asked that, because I wonder if you can
- 1:13:26Speaker 1: think about games where you were tight you might have been.
- 1:13:28Speaker 1: I don't think you were tight. I think you you
- 1:13:30Speaker 1: said that before. You were nervous. Once you hit him,
- 1:13:33Speaker 1: you aren't tight anymore. But sometimes you see guys play
- 1:13:36Speaker 1: tight in the entire game. It just keeps mounting on
- 1:13:38Speaker 1: the pressure. I don't think like I think in n
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: I think that team played tight after this, after after
- 1:13:46Speaker 1: the second half, in the second half that it started
- 1:13:48Speaker 1: going against him and they couldn't get out from underneath it. Yeah.
- 1:13:51Speaker 1: I don't know if that's being tight. But you feel
- 1:13:52Speaker 1: the emotion and you start pressing, that's what it is. Yeah. Yeah,
- 1:13:56Speaker 1: Well it's sort of like you feel the momentum change
- 1:13:59Speaker 1: and you pressed do things you shouldn't do, and um
- 1:14:02Speaker 1: like like I just thought Jacksonville's offense pressed in the
- 1:14:05Speaker 1: fourth quarter when they weren't doing anything, didn't you. Yeah,
- 1:14:09Speaker 1: I honestly, Peter don't remember. I was. It was past
- 1:14:13Speaker 1: week like when they went like you could just feel
- 1:14:16Speaker 1: the crowd kind of uh and you can see them
- 1:14:19Speaker 1: starting to press a little bit more. Yeah. I never
- 1:14:22Speaker 1: understood like a tight going into the game. I was
- 1:14:25Speaker 1: nervous and anxious as hell every game. I played like
- 1:14:29Speaker 1: I don't care if I was playing some journeyman defensive
- 1:14:32Speaker 1: end to Bruce Smith, Like I went in that game
- 1:14:35Speaker 1: going holy cow, I got seventy snaps of one on
- 1:14:38Speaker 1: one football and I got to go execute. So I
- 1:14:43Speaker 1: was I was always But there's a difference between being
- 1:14:46Speaker 1: nervous and being tight. Though I was always looking forward
- 1:14:48Speaker 1: to like the two or three Naked. It was like
- 1:14:51Speaker 1: take a cheap shot at somebody, and take a shot,
- 1:14:53Speaker 1: you know, take a free run at somebody. Um. But yeah,
- 1:14:57Speaker 1: So I mean, I I think when people say you're tight,
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: I think sometimes the moment becomes too much, almost, and
- 1:15:06Speaker 1: so it's maybe it's that's being tight, But I also
- 1:15:09Speaker 1: think it's your emotional you're anxious, you got like and
- 1:15:12Speaker 1: you start going faster than you need to, and you
- 1:15:15Speaker 1: press and you try to do too much instead of
- 1:15:18Speaker 1: like I think the best teams and the thing that
- 1:15:21Speaker 1: I know it was a player I always try to
- 1:15:22Speaker 1: do and you feel good is trying to like be relaxed,
- 1:15:26Speaker 1: like going into the moment and understanding that it's a
- 1:15:30Speaker 1: long game and like let it come to you and
- 1:15:32Speaker 1: don't try to make stuff happen. Well, that's why you
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: said earlier. They're young team. You're playing go in there,
- 1:15:38Speaker 1: and you're playing with free money here, this is a
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: free role. Go play. You know. It's not like they
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: were favored to win the division. It's not like they
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: were favored to go deep into the postseason. Whereas you know,
- 1:15:47Speaker 1: like certain teams, like if you're Kansas City and things
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: start going against you, you might start thinking about a
- 1:15:52Speaker 1: little bit. This team has to be able to just
- 1:15:54Speaker 1: go play free and loose. Well, I mean, we can
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: keep on comparing to the nineties team. But I remember
- 1:16:00Speaker 1: in both games that we won UM in Buffalo and Denver,
- 1:16:05Speaker 1: sitting on the sidelines because we were down two quick
- 1:16:07Speaker 1: touchdowns in both those games. And I'm the Denver game
- 1:16:11Speaker 1: looking for now, I'm like, oh, here we go. We
- 1:16:14Speaker 1: gotta I'm like, we better do something here soon, hunting
- 1:16:19Speaker 1: and then Michael dean Berry didn't get off the field
- 1:16:21Speaker 1: otherwise they get the ball back up fourteen or thirty.
- 1:16:23Speaker 1: It was thirteen because I mist And so you kind
- 1:16:27Speaker 1: of you feel and I was never felt like I
- 1:16:31Speaker 1: was pressing. You just could feel like like we need
- 1:16:34Speaker 1: to make a play like something, we need to get
- 1:16:36Speaker 1: something going. Um. And so there's those moments for sure,
- 1:16:40Speaker 1: and there will be those moments in this playoff game,
- 1:16:43Speaker 1: the momentum shift and can you can you kind of
- 1:16:47Speaker 1: overcome it, kind of fight through it and sustain the change. Um,
- 1:16:52Speaker 1: we're you know what sideline momentum is on and that's
- 1:16:56Speaker 1: the that's the key. Um. But yeah, I remember in
- 1:17:00Speaker 1: the NFC title game in ninety against the Patriots, you
- 1:17:04Speaker 1: can like, it felt like we never got in that rip.
- 1:17:07Speaker 1: And part of it was because we didn't run the
- 1:17:10Speaker 1: ball very well that game. And we and our success
- 1:17:13Speaker 1: had been running the ball with Natron means and play
- 1:17:16Speaker 1: action passed and and taking big shots you know, down
- 1:17:19Speaker 1: the field. And against the Patriots, they had a good
- 1:17:22Speaker 1: game plan. Um, they rushed three spy brunelle all night
- 1:17:27Speaker 1: and and played really good run defense, and we we
- 1:17:30Speaker 1: didn't win the line of scrimmage. Let's move along. Next
- 1:17:35Speaker 1: question on social media today, this is a at Nick
- 1:17:39Speaker 1: Pope Joy. Who is the most dangerous player on the
- 1:17:42Speaker 1: Chargers team and will we be able to stop that individual? Well,
- 1:17:47Speaker 1: I mean the best player on offense. Let's talk. Let's
- 1:17:50Speaker 1: talk about each side of the ball. At least I will.
- 1:17:52Speaker 1: The best player on offense is Justin Herbert, but the
- 1:17:56Speaker 1: most dangerous weapon is Austin Ekeler. You have to take
- 1:17:59Speaker 1: Austin Neckler out of the game, and they did it
- 1:18:01Speaker 1: the first time. They limited his impact because he's the
- 1:18:04Speaker 1: guy who really gets you, puts you on edge, because
- 1:18:07Speaker 1: he's a good running he's a good runner out of
- 1:18:10Speaker 1: the backfield. Obviously he's great running back, but he's outstanding
- 1:18:13Speaker 1: in the passing game. And he is the one that
- 1:18:15Speaker 1: Herbert will check it down to work out of the backfield.
- 1:18:18Speaker 1: They have a great screen game with him. They'll try
- 1:18:20Speaker 1: to get a matched up against linebackers, and that's been
- 1:18:23Speaker 1: a little bit of an issue for us. And so
- 1:18:25Speaker 1: I think Austin Ekeler on offense and then defensively, it's
- 1:18:28Speaker 1: it's it's the two ends. It Boast is healthy, I'll
- 1:18:32Speaker 1: probably Boast is the better player than Khalil Mack went healthy.
- 1:18:36Speaker 1: And if Boast is healthy and he gets it going,
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: you better, you better identify that guy and have a
- 1:18:39Speaker 1: plan for him. Yeah, I would agree spot on both
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: of them. But remember the last time they stopped Heckler,
- 1:18:44Speaker 1: they didn't have those other receivers. Made a lot easier agree.
- 1:18:49Speaker 1: But yeah, Boast that you have to. You have to.
- 1:18:50Speaker 1: Boast is much better right now in his career than
- 1:18:52Speaker 1: Cleio mack is. And then he's the guy. He's the
- 1:18:55Speaker 1: game every team. That's why we always talk about these
- 1:18:58Speaker 1: teams in the playoffs, who has a game record. Boast
- 1:19:00Speaker 1: is a game record. He could be a game wreckerd,
- 1:19:02Speaker 1: so you gotta control him. Does Jackson will have a
- 1:19:05Speaker 1: game record the way Josh Allen's man. Who knows the
- 1:19:09Speaker 1: other guy? You gotta dentify and defense Peters Derwin James.
- 1:19:13Speaker 1: You know, though, Tony, I'm gonna say something. I think
- 1:19:15Speaker 1: he's really good in a lot of areas. I think
- 1:19:17Speaker 1: you can get him and and if you get him
- 1:19:19Speaker 1: in the passing game, you can beat him. I don't disagree,
- 1:19:22Speaker 1: but he is. He's a great blitzer, he can rush
- 1:19:25Speaker 1: the path. He's actually good just pass rusher. Um, he's
- 1:19:28Speaker 1: outside the run game, run and game. I'm not yeah,
- 1:19:31Speaker 1: but he's a really good player. Next question social media
- 1:19:35Speaker 1: a buzz of course after the Jaguars win. Noah Damn
- 1:19:39Speaker 1: row asking, is the Jags team built well enough to
- 1:19:43Speaker 1: make a Super Bowl run? Yes, if you're if you're in,
- 1:19:48Speaker 1: if you're in the tournament, you're good enough to make
- 1:19:50Speaker 1: a Super Bowl run. That's been proven year in and
- 1:19:54Speaker 1: year out. Nobody thought the Bengals were gonna come out
- 1:19:57Speaker 1: of the a f C. It was the Bills Chiefs.
- 1:20:00Speaker 1: One of those two teams are gonna be in the
- 1:20:02Speaker 1: Super Bowl and the Bengals won three games, two on
- 1:20:07Speaker 1: the road, and ended up in the Super Bowl. The
- 1:20:10Speaker 1: year before, the Buccaneers, for a wild card, had gotten
- 1:20:15Speaker 1: blown out by the Saints. Both times went in on
- 1:20:17Speaker 1: opening wild card weekend and beat the Saints and then
- 1:20:20Speaker 1: went on and then went on their run. Okay, I
- 1:20:23Speaker 1: get your point, but one and had Tom Brady a
- 1:20:27Speaker 1: and the other one. Think about who they had to beat. Okay,
- 1:20:31Speaker 1: we'll give you. We'll give it be the Titans team
- 1:20:33Speaker 1: that was limited offensively and didn't have you know, they
- 1:20:36Speaker 1: didn't have much. Were the number one seedet, I get it,
- 1:20:39Speaker 1: but they were very Did you think they were? Did
- 1:20:41Speaker 1: you think they were a number one seed? We've seen
- 1:20:43Speaker 1: the Titans of the number one seed the pass and
- 1:20:45Speaker 1: get beat in the first round, too, thought they I thought,
- 1:20:50Speaker 1: because remember they were getting Derrick Henry back, And I said,
- 1:20:52Speaker 1: Derrick Henry is who Derrick Henry was the first nine
- 1:20:55Speaker 1: games that year, when he was rushing for like two
- 1:20:57Speaker 1: yards of game, it felt like I thought they were
- 1:21:00Speaker 1: tough out because they were playing good defense as well,
- 1:21:02Speaker 1: and I didn't think the Bengals could protect the pass.
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: First game they beat the Raiders, who weren't very good
- 1:21:07Speaker 1: remember they beat the Raiders, then they beat the Titans,
- 1:21:10Speaker 1: and then they got they did upset the Chiefs, so
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: you got a game credit for that they played. They
- 1:21:14Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs, So Jacksonville to go on a run
- 1:21:17Speaker 1: would have to beat The problem is the top. The
- 1:21:20Speaker 1: second round game is much tougher. You gotta admit, whoever
- 1:21:23Speaker 1: you play in the second round, it's much tougher than
- 1:21:25Speaker 1: going to play the Titans or a year ago. I'd
- 1:21:28Speaker 1: agree with that, but you disagree with me. The fact
- 1:21:31Speaker 1: that you know you can anything can happen in the postseason.
- 1:21:33Speaker 1: It's like in hockey, if you got a hot goal,
- 1:21:35Speaker 1: you can go to the you can go to the
- 1:21:36Speaker 1: Stanley Cup and win it. So no, if your quarterback,
- 1:21:38Speaker 1: like you said, if your quarterback's hot, you have a
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: chance to win it. And so yes, they're built to
- 1:21:45Speaker 1: do that because I think they have a franchise quarterback
- 1:21:47Speaker 1: who can get hot and take over a game. And
- 1:21:50Speaker 1: if Josh Allen continues to be what he has been
- 1:21:52Speaker 1: the last couple of weeks, then then yes they have
- 1:21:55Speaker 1: they have a guy who can wreck a game. I
- 1:21:57Speaker 1: don't know, we would have Hockey Talk tonight. Next question
- 1:22:00Speaker 1: it on social media from Twitter today at Hardy Brot
- 1:22:05Speaker 1: the Jaguars linebackers and coverage a big concern coming into
- 1:22:08Speaker 1: this playoff game against the Chargers. Yes, big time. And
- 1:22:15Speaker 1: and Sony you mentioned the screen game too. That's a
- 1:22:18Speaker 1: big part of what the Chargers do. They're great at it,
- 1:22:21Speaker 1: so that's a big concern. Yeah, that's where I think
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: we will start. I think we will get most of
- 1:22:25Speaker 1: the reps at linebacker because I don't think I I
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: wondered the confidence level of the coaching staff to put
- 1:22:31Speaker 1: Devin Lloyd out there and to be responsible for zone drops,
- 1:22:35Speaker 1: man coverage, getting lined up and getting matched up with
- 1:22:39Speaker 1: Eckler or one of their tight ends. It's funny because
- 1:22:42Speaker 1: Muma gets to the plays faster, but he's not faster.
- 1:22:46Speaker 1: It's amazing because he identifies it better. Yeah, next question.
- 1:22:51Speaker 1: A few more left from Twitter today at Britain Jack
- 1:22:54Speaker 1: is Prisco CBS getting withdrawal symptoms from being in January
- 1:22:58Speaker 1: and not discussing the draft yet? It is kind of
- 1:23:02Speaker 1: is weird. It's weird is the first one since two
- 1:23:04Speaker 1: thousand's seventeen is the first time we haven't done that.
- 1:23:07Speaker 1: It's it's strange. We probably won't talk Hopefully we won't
- 1:23:11Speaker 1: talk about it at all until after the super Bowl.
- 1:23:14Speaker 1: The last show, we can have a draft segment where
- 1:23:16Speaker 1: they what they need do in the upcoming draft, but
- 1:23:18Speaker 1: until then, no draft talk. We can talk about cap
- 1:23:21Speaker 1: then we can talk about who they should cut. We'll, we'll, we'll,
- 1:23:24Speaker 1: we'll fix the team for Bulky we Well, we moved
- 1:23:27Speaker 1: we moved Williams outside for him. Let me think about it.
- 1:23:30Speaker 1: What else does he wanted to do? And told them
- 1:23:32Speaker 1: played Trayvon with his hand in the ground. More right,
- 1:23:35Speaker 1: See that's what happens. But hey, that'll be coming after
- 1:23:38Speaker 1: the Jaguars picked thirty second. Now, if we can only
- 1:23:40Speaker 1: get them to stop running a stupid place. Next question
- 1:23:44Speaker 1: social media at E. L g h S. Two thousand one.
- 1:23:48Speaker 1: With the team continuing to surge the wind column, is
- 1:23:51Speaker 1: it concerning that Lawrence's individual numbers are beginning to regress
- 1:23:54Speaker 1: going into the postseason? Not for me not know the numbers.
- 1:23:59Speaker 1: The numbers don't matter. He just didn't play that well
- 1:24:01Speaker 1: the other day. Forget about Remember like, go back to
- 1:24:04Speaker 1: the Jets game. It was terrible weather. He was never
- 1:24:07Speaker 1: going to put a big numbers and they have a
- 1:24:08Speaker 1: really good defense. They did they ran a game plan
- 1:24:11Speaker 1: that was conservative, trusted defense. They knew they didn't have
- 1:24:14Speaker 1: a quarterback, and you know, let's go get a win.
- 1:24:17Speaker 1: And the Texans game doesn't count. Texans game. They were up.
- 1:24:20Speaker 1: I mean, it's like, once you get up against that,
- 1:24:22Speaker 1: he was like, let's just not make student mistakes. The
- 1:24:24Speaker 1: answer to that question is no. But he did not
- 1:24:26Speaker 1: play well last week. Okay, I agree. One more question
- 1:24:30Speaker 1: last one social media at Robert Johns. With the Chargers
- 1:24:34Speaker 1: playing their strutters for the majority of the game, does
- 1:24:36Speaker 1: that give the Jags an advantage with more or recent
- 1:24:39Speaker 1: tape to watch, not for that reason, the advantage it
- 1:24:44Speaker 1: gives them for some reason when the game did not
- 1:24:47Speaker 1: matter at all for the Chargers. Zero. He's playing all
- 1:24:51Speaker 1: his starters and it came back to bottom because Mike
- 1:24:53Speaker 1: Williams got hurt and if he's not got thing in
- 1:24:57Speaker 1: the game too, And so those are not a hundred
- 1:25:00Speaker 1: sent that impact the Chargers ability to have a full
- 1:25:04Speaker 1: strength squad out there. He had Herbert into the second half.
- 1:25:07Speaker 1: I have no idea what he was doing. It made
- 1:25:09Speaker 1: no sense to me. And and not only that, you
- 1:25:12Speaker 1: a lot of those guys played most of the game
- 1:25:14Speaker 1: so if you play most of the game, now you
- 1:25:16Speaker 1: gotta travel in a short week to go play a
- 1:25:17Speaker 1: team that gets an extra day arrest. Yeah. If I
- 1:25:20Speaker 1: was head coach, as soon as I knew that are
- 1:25:23Speaker 1: that we had, the game did not matter. I'm playing
- 1:25:27Speaker 1: as many backups as I can and making it a
- 1:25:30Speaker 1: bye week. Of course, here's a guy who doesn't play Stanley,
- 1:25:34Speaker 1: doesn't play anybody in the preseason in any of the games,
- 1:25:37Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, he's playing him in a
- 1:25:38Speaker 1: preseason game in week eighteen. It It just is mystifying.
- 1:25:44Speaker 1: And they would have known relatively early because the Bengals
- 1:25:46Speaker 1: had control of that game, right, it was the Ravens
- 1:25:48Speaker 1: loss that put him in. Then they knew when the
- 1:25:51Speaker 1: ball kicked off that but remember they didn't kick off
- 1:25:53Speaker 1: unto they knew, right, But my point is that they
- 1:25:56Speaker 1: had a size of a lead in that game and
- 1:25:59Speaker 1: it wasn't really in danger of the Ravens coming back.
- 1:26:04Speaker 1: The coaching staff, you have a plan Plan A. We
- 1:26:06Speaker 1: have to win. This is how we're gonna go approach it.
- 1:26:08Speaker 1: Plan B. Bengals lose, I mean Bengals win, Ravens lose,
- 1:26:13Speaker 1: game doesn't matter. This is how we're gonna play. It
- 1:26:15Speaker 1: was a bad decision by the coach of staff and
- 1:26:17Speaker 1: and if they get beat on on Saturday night, then
- 1:26:20Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of questions about whether the
- 1:26:22Speaker 1: particularly Mike Williams is in the lineup. Do you have
- 1:26:26Speaker 1: it the fanatics fan questions. Thanks for all the submissions today.
- 1:26:30Speaker 1: It's been a fun day or two on Jaguars social media.
- 1:26:33Speaker 1: Of course, after a division title, we're back in a moment.
- 1:26:37Speaker 1: Shot Cohn in the locker room after the game. We'll
- 1:26:40Speaker 1: hear from the Jaguars owner coming up, and the NFL
- 1:26:44Speaker 1: Super wild Card weekend schedule will go through all the
- 1:26:47Speaker 1: games coming up. This is Jaguars Happy Hour on the
- 1:26:49Speaker 1: Jaguars Digital Network. Speech. I'm speech los s, but I'm
- 1:27:05Speaker 1: so freaking proud of all a few and trying to
- 1:27:09Speaker 1: hard work battering obviously Doug the staff, Trent the staff,
- 1:27:14Speaker 1: everyone believed in everyone. Oh man, I just can't describe
- 1:27:18Speaker 1: this moment. I'm gonna seal it up and live with
- 1:27:21Speaker 1: it the rest of my life. Here's the Jaguars owners
- 1:27:27Speaker 1: shot Khan in the locker room getting a game ball
- 1:27:29Speaker 1: after the Jaguars win an an FC South title. Welcome
- 1:27:32Speaker 1: back Jaguars Happy r J P, Shadrick, Pete Frisco, Tony Boselli,
- 1:27:36Speaker 1: Doug Peterson gave Shot and Tony kun game balls after
- 1:27:41Speaker 1: the victory. And that's uh, that's fun to hear. That
- 1:27:44Speaker 1: is a happy owner his second division title. JP. I
- 1:27:49Speaker 1: gotta ask you, did anybody ask him if he was
- 1:27:51Speaker 1: really sleeping during the game? Did you see that shot
- 1:27:53Speaker 1: they had? I mean, it was unfair. He wasn't sleeping,
- 1:27:57Speaker 1: but they put the camera on him and it made
- 1:27:58Speaker 1: it look like Shot was sleep during the game. Yeah,
- 1:28:02Speaker 1: I have no doubt he was wide awake, um throughout
- 1:28:05Speaker 1: that ball game. Did you guys see the shot? You
- 1:28:07Speaker 1: know what I'm talking about? Though they put him on
- 1:28:08Speaker 1: the camera. Yeah. Um. By the way, one quick thing
- 1:28:13Speaker 1: I gotta clear up. I went back and looked at
- 1:28:14Speaker 1: the box store. Mike Williams did play in that game
- 1:28:17Speaker 1: in the in the first time. Yeah, he was dinged
- 1:28:21Speaker 1: up though. Remember there was some question about whether he
- 1:28:23Speaker 1: would play that weekend. He did so. Yeah. He missed
- 1:28:26Speaker 1: time during the season though a couple of different games. MHM.
- 1:28:30Speaker 1: Let's take a look at the NFL Super wild Card
- 1:28:33Speaker 1: weekend schedule. A full slate of games two on Saturday,
- 1:28:37Speaker 1: three on Sunday one on Monday. Let's go through these
- 1:28:40Speaker 1: one by one, guys. Let's start with the nf C
- 1:28:44Speaker 1: Wild Card playoff game. The Seattle Seahawks back door their
- 1:28:47Speaker 1: way into the playoffs, the seventh seed against the San
- 1:28:51Speaker 1: Francisco of forty Niners. A lot of folks favorite too
- 1:28:54Speaker 1: nake it to the super Bowl out of the NFC. Pete,
- 1:28:57Speaker 1: who do you like in that one? I think the
- 1:29:00Speaker 1: Niners beat him up. They beat him up already this
- 1:29:02Speaker 1: year twice. I think they beat him up again. And uh, look,
- 1:29:05Speaker 1: Seattle got in back of a story for Pete Carroll
- 1:29:08Speaker 1: hugging a story for Gino Smith. But I think it
- 1:29:09Speaker 1: ends there all right, Tony, what do you think on
- 1:29:12Speaker 1: that one? I I think it's a fabulous story, but
- 1:29:16Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be over all right. We'll get
- 1:29:19Speaker 1: to the Jaguars game coming up in just a few
- 1:29:21Speaker 1: moments here at the end of the show. Well, we
- 1:29:23Speaker 1: could have a rare double lock. We'll see just moments
- 1:29:26Speaker 1: away from finding out if that's the case. Let's go
- 1:29:28Speaker 1: to Sunday one o'clock seven, seed Miami Dolphins to seed
- 1:29:31Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills in the A f C. Who you got
- 1:29:34Speaker 1: an Orchard Park I'm going with I'm going with Buffalo.
- 1:29:40Speaker 1: I think Buffalo gives him a beating again. I don't
- 1:29:42Speaker 1: care if too even plays. I don't think he will.
- 1:29:44Speaker 1: But even if he did, I think Buffalo beats him. Yeah.
- 1:29:47Speaker 1: I think this is the runaway. I think Miami might
- 1:29:49Speaker 1: keep it close for a little bit because I think
- 1:29:51Speaker 1: they'll have some creative running game. Mike me Bail does
- 1:29:53Speaker 1: a great job with that. That's been a little bit
- 1:29:55Speaker 1: of the Buffalo uh achillious but better to run lately, Pete,
- 1:30:00Speaker 1: I think yeah, and he got away from it the
- 1:30:02Speaker 1: last time they played. Remember they average seven yards per
- 1:30:05Speaker 1: carry against them last time, and then had three third
- 1:30:07Speaker 1: and shorts in the second half and didn't run the ball. Yeah.
- 1:30:10Speaker 1: I think Buffalo wins by ten. Yeah, I would agree. Okay,
- 1:30:14Speaker 1: Giants Vikings six verses three in the NFC. That's a
- 1:30:20Speaker 1: team that's hosting with twelve wins and a negative point
- 1:30:23Speaker 1: differential in Minnesota. I think the Giants should have won
- 1:30:27Speaker 1: the game the last time they went there. They had
- 1:30:29Speaker 1: a drop in the middle of the field that would
- 1:30:30Speaker 1: have kind of put them in a position to win
- 1:30:32Speaker 1: the game. I'm gonna take the Giants. I think Dabele
- 1:30:34Speaker 1: has done a great job with that team. I think
- 1:30:36Speaker 1: they go in there and win that game. I hate
- 1:30:38Speaker 1: to agree with Pete, but I think the Giants when
- 1:30:40Speaker 1: I think they're the more physical team, and I think
- 1:30:43Speaker 1: they'll physical Minnesota and things can tighten the playoffs. All
- 1:30:48Speaker 1: the pretty stuff doesn't always work, and I think the
- 1:30:51Speaker 1: Giants are kind of physical, gritty team Alright. Sunday Night
- 1:30:55Speaker 1: eight fifteen, the Ravens and the Bengals six versus three
- 1:31:00Speaker 1: division rivals. I don't think it matters. I don't think
- 1:31:04Speaker 1: it matters if Lamar Jackson plays or not. He's still
- 1:31:06Speaker 1: gonna be limited in what he can do, and it injured.
- 1:31:08Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson's not the kind of quarterback that you want
- 1:31:11Speaker 1: to see playing. So I think Joe Burrow and that
- 1:31:14Speaker 1: offense is cranked up in the high gear, and their
- 1:31:16Speaker 1: defense is starting to make a lot of plays and
- 1:31:18Speaker 1: and so I think they win that game easily too. Yeah.
- 1:31:21Speaker 1: I like the Bengals. I think the Bengals are um Again,
- 1:31:25Speaker 1: that's a ten point plus victory for them. I think
- 1:31:27Speaker 1: they it's it will be, it's would be tough. It's
- 1:31:30Speaker 1: me physical to division matchup, much like the Dolphins and
- 1:31:34Speaker 1: UH and UH Bills. But I think the Bengals are
- 1:31:37Speaker 1: just a better team. They have a better quarterback, the
- 1:31:39Speaker 1: defense is playing good. I think they get after him
- 1:31:42Speaker 1: pretty well. And then the Dallas Cowboys and the Tampa
- 1:31:45Speaker 1: Bay Buccaneers Monday Night, Dak Prescott throwing seven million interceptions
- 1:31:49Speaker 1: and Tom Brady is what forty five years old? Who
- 1:31:52Speaker 1: you got on that one? I'm taking the Cowboys. Everybody's
- 1:31:55Speaker 1: gonna be on the Bucks. It's just and and you
- 1:31:58Speaker 1: know what, then then the line comes out, the Cowboys
- 1:32:00Speaker 1: are favored, they're the better team. And one thing about
- 1:32:03Speaker 1: Tom Brady has been great in the postseason, but when
- 1:32:06Speaker 1: he's not great in the postseason was people start hitting him.
- 1:32:08Speaker 1: And remember all the games he lost, he was getting
- 1:32:11Speaker 1: hit and inside pressure. I'm gonna take the Cowboys. I
- 1:32:14Speaker 1: think that game on Sunday was just one of those
- 1:32:16Speaker 1: games where they knew the Eagles would win against the
- 1:32:18Speaker 1: Giants team that wasn't playing anybody and didn't play very well.
- 1:32:22Speaker 1: I think the Giants, I mean, I think the Cowboys
- 1:32:26Speaker 1: get tight. I think the Cowboys getting that game. They've
- 1:32:32Speaker 1: had a you know when twelve games. The Bucks, you know,
- 1:32:36Speaker 1: beat up the offensive lines a little bit. Patchwork. Is
- 1:32:39Speaker 1: Tristan Is Tristan Worth worse back for this game? Yes, yeah,
- 1:32:42Speaker 1: he's back. And problem is their second string center is
- 1:32:45Speaker 1: hurt now, so if Bryan Jensen can't come back and play,
- 1:32:48Speaker 1: they're gonna be down to number three. He looks like
- 1:32:50Speaker 1: I'm betting on Tom Brady. I think that I think
- 1:32:52Speaker 1: the Bucks win a close game. Even everybody's been saying
- 1:32:54Speaker 1: it all year, here comes Tom Brady. This is the week,
- 1:32:56Speaker 1: this is the week. It hadn't happened yet. I'm just
- 1:32:59Speaker 1: I I'm not sold. It's for It's less about Tom Brady, Pete.
- 1:33:03Speaker 1: I'm not solding the Cowboys. I think their defense will
- 1:33:06Speaker 1: get after it all right. And now the a f
- 1:33:09Speaker 1: C wild Card playoff game here at t I A A.
- 1:33:12Speaker 1: Bank Field and eight fifteen kickoff time, Saturday, under the lights.
- 1:33:15Speaker 1: What a scene it should be. The Los Angeles Chargers.
- 1:33:19Speaker 1: They finished the regular season ten and seven. They are
- 1:33:22Speaker 1: a wild card team in the a f C the
- 1:33:24Speaker 1: five seed against the a f C South champion Jacksonville
- 1:33:27Speaker 1: Jaguars at nine and eight, the number four seed. Do
- 1:33:31Speaker 1: we have the rare double lock Pete, let's start with you.
- 1:33:34Speaker 1: Are you going there? I am locking it first, one
- 1:33:39Speaker 1: to thirty win. This is gonna be a classic shootout
- 1:33:42Speaker 1: that we all love in the NFL, particularly in the playoffs.
- 1:33:45Speaker 1: Thirty three thirty Jacksonville lock it locked by Pete Tony Boselli.
- 1:33:52Speaker 1: Do you match him? I think this is it's I
- 1:33:56Speaker 1: agree with Peters to shootout. It's gonna be what defense
- 1:33:59Speaker 1: can get a big turn over late or big stop
- 1:34:02Speaker 1: um steal a possession or two during this game. It's
- 1:34:05Speaker 1: it's gonna come down. I don't think either defense as
- 1:34:08Speaker 1: an answer for the other, but I think it's the
- 1:34:10Speaker 1: defense who can make the big play. This Jaguar defense
- 1:34:13Speaker 1: has been opportunistic all year, big plays when it mattered.
- 1:34:16Speaker 1: I think they win the game. I think it's late.
- 1:34:18Speaker 1: I think it's close. I got thirty eight thirty five Jags. Wow,
- 1:34:23Speaker 1: it's a lock. Then for to a double lock. It
- 1:34:30Speaker 1: is rare, nearly extinct, but boy, they pulled it out
- 1:34:34Speaker 1: for the playoffs. It's undefeated defeated. It is undefeated. Boy,
- 1:34:41Speaker 1: that's a rare bird. You know what this is? This
- 1:34:43Speaker 1: is everything and anything you want in a playoff game
- 1:34:46Speaker 1: with these two quarterbacks who can throw the football all
- 1:34:49Speaker 1: over the place. I can't wait to watch it. I
- 1:34:50Speaker 1: really can't. By the way, I heard it's gonna be
- 1:34:52Speaker 1: a little chilly on Saturday night in the thirties. I heard,
- 1:34:56Speaker 1: really yeah early. I mean, obviously things can change, but
- 1:35:01Speaker 1: a cold front across the country, and I just hope
- 1:35:04Speaker 1: there's no wind. Please, no whin it's weather, Pete, what
- 1:35:08Speaker 1: do you want like Ben Ruins football? So if it
- 1:35:12Speaker 1: is windy, it favors Jacksonville because that Chargers run defense
- 1:35:16Speaker 1: is atrocious. It is bad. It's a bad run defense.
- 1:35:19Speaker 1: And and look, Jackson's gotta run the ball. You know,
- 1:35:21Speaker 1: that's one thing Tony about last week we didn't really
- 1:35:23Speaker 1: talk about. They couldn't run the ball, so those boots
- 1:35:26Speaker 1: were kind of negated. That's right. No, I think it
- 1:35:29Speaker 1: was a huge part of the game. It was harder
- 1:35:31Speaker 1: to move the pocket because of the lack of run game.
- 1:35:33Speaker 1: And I think that's gonna be important and I think
- 1:35:35Speaker 1: it will open up more of the offense. So, um,
- 1:35:37Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a great game. I'm with Pete.
- 1:35:39Speaker 1: I think it's exciting. I think they're gonna the Jaguars
- 1:35:42Speaker 1: will win. Um. I think the place is gonna be rocking.
- 1:35:46Speaker 1: It will be another great environment, and it's gonna be fun.
- 1:35:49Speaker 1: Playoff lootball it it's a known thing now. The only
- 1:35:51Speaker 1: unknown is what quarter comes to play and will the
- 1:35:55Speaker 1: play come in? Will be the first quarter, of the
- 1:35:57Speaker 1: second quarter, of the third quarter? It's coming. What Peter
- 1:36:00Speaker 1: does the blank of? In speaking of locks, I made
- 1:36:04Speaker 1: it lock at the beginning of the season that the
- 1:36:07Speaker 1: Jaguars would sweep the Titans. Yes you did that, you
- 1:36:10Speaker 1: mocked me, Yes I did, and you said there's no
- 1:36:13Speaker 1: chance it's gonna happen. Well, who knew they would be
- 1:36:16Speaker 1: a broken down version of themselves? Come on the SELLI
- 1:36:20Speaker 1: they just got beat by Josh Dobbs Saturday night. Stop,
- 1:36:23Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I locked it. It came through the lock.
- 1:36:27Speaker 1: I'll tell you this. After a bad and locks that
- 1:36:30Speaker 1: was bad, I'm not gonna lie the locks. I might
- 1:36:35Speaker 1: be undefeated this year. One loss and loss. You had
- 1:36:38Speaker 1: a loss earlier in the year, said you had much
- 1:36:42Speaker 1: better locks going this year. But I think I had won.
- 1:36:44Speaker 1: I think when I locked that the Kansas City game
- 1:36:47Speaker 1: deflect the Sunday Night that didn't really happen. Look, people
- 1:36:50Speaker 1: put this on the Internet and they put it on
- 1:36:52Speaker 1: Twitter and everything. That's the only reason you locked it,
- 1:36:54Speaker 1: because it makes you look good. If you were wrong,
