Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive John with Ashlyn Sullivan, Sound, John
0:07
Speaker 1: Osians and Brian Sex Jacks Drive Time and starts right now.
0:15
Speaker 1: This hosting things we work beca We worked so hard
0:18
Speaker 1: and played plans on Thursday night gameout to have it
0:21
Speaker 1: one again the author and the game winner. So it happens,
0:25
Speaker 1: but we're gonna We're gonna keep working. Yeah, that one hurt.
0:30
Speaker 1: It still hosts a couple of days later after Thursday
0:33
Speaker 1: night football. Welcome in Jaguars Drive Time Monday morning. Ashton Sullivan,
0:36
Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Osier here. And for the away games,
0:41
Speaker 1: you normally the team comes off rather quickly, and I
0:44
Speaker 1: will say you could tell this was a heartbreaking loss
0:47
Speaker 1: because players kind of just stood on the field and
0:49
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was one of the last ones to come
0:51
Speaker 1: off the field, and John, this one just felt different.
0:54
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence said, it's heartbreaking. You truly felt that post game? Yeah,
0:57
Speaker 1: you did. I it felt to me similar to Arizona
1:02
Speaker 1: in a sense, and the fact that they had the chance,
1:05
Speaker 1: a very good chance to win in the second half
1:07
Speaker 1: and then lost the lead. Uh, it was different because
1:10
Speaker 1: it was right there at the same time, I felt
1:13
Speaker 1: like Cincinnati started controlling that game at the end of
1:15
Speaker 1: the game, and it felt to me like they were
1:18
Speaker 1: a team that was ready to win and knew how
1:20
Speaker 1: to make the plays to win. And as soon as
1:22
Speaker 1: I say that, if not for the holding call, I
1:24
Speaker 1: think the Jaguars might without a doubt, Um, And this
1:28
Speaker 1: is a team, especially at key positions receiver, cornerback, right
1:32
Speaker 1: where there's such a thin margin for error that they
1:37
Speaker 1: have to make a play to win because they're not
1:39
Speaker 1: going to dominate. And they made that play, they got
1:42
Speaker 1: that sack, and then Trey Herndon back in the lineup
1:45
Speaker 1: for the first time in a couple of weeks, gets
1:47
Speaker 1: hit with that holding call, and and so the margin
1:50
Speaker 1: of error was was nothing if they punt, and they
1:53
Speaker 1: would have punted. If they punt, the Jaguars probably drive
1:57
Speaker 1: and win. An important point we made there, Snider, I
2:01
Speaker 1: interrupted you. They didn't mean to um. You know, the
2:05
Speaker 1: holding call killed it. But if you think about it,
2:09
Speaker 1: Cincinnati got I think a legal motion on the next
2:13
Speaker 1: play they did overcame it and went down and score
2:16
Speaker 1: without doubt. That's what I think the lesson for the
2:18
Speaker 1: Jaguars should be after this game is Okay, it went
2:21
Speaker 1: against you. In this league, one thing may go against
2:24
Speaker 1: you have to overcome it. To me, the story of
2:26
Speaker 1: the game was the Bengals overcame it. They did at
2:29
Speaker 1: that moment that Jaguars didn't. And Malcolm Brown said as
2:31
Speaker 1: much in his postgame news conference that you have to
2:34
Speaker 1: have amnesia and go right back to work. Well, he
2:37
Speaker 1: knows he's one big game, without a doubt. Here's the issue, though,
2:40
Speaker 1: this team is only going to win this year when
2:42
Speaker 1: they make those plays, you know, and then doing the
2:46
Speaker 1: holding call when their margin isn't going to change. It's
2:49
Speaker 1: gonna be thin all year. Well, you see the difference.
2:51
Speaker 1: I thought Joe Burrow said it best in his postgame
2:54
Speaker 1: press comedy said, a year ago, we don't win these games.
2:56
Speaker 1: They learned how to win. You see, the difference in
2:59
Speaker 1: a franchise is a year difference, and it's clear as day.
3:02
Speaker 1: I mean, he said a year ago, we're not disciplined
3:04
Speaker 1: enough to win these type of games. Now we're in
3:06
Speaker 1: the point where we do win those games. And a
3:08
Speaker 1: year ago their roster was more like the Jaguars, meaning
3:13
Speaker 1: more playtime players on their defense or in their offense,
3:18
Speaker 1: so they have that chance to make the play. But
3:20
Speaker 1: your sins point, that's exactly right. Jaguars are probably a
3:24
Speaker 1: year away from winning that game. They went one and fift,
3:26
Speaker 1: team got Burrow, went four eleven and one got Chase.
3:29
Speaker 1: Look where they are right now. That is a franchise
3:32
Speaker 1: to look at in terms of making progress. Totally agree.
3:35
Speaker 1: Big thing one is sell this Sell this team. This
3:38
Speaker 1: team trailed by twenty seven points at halftime Week one,
3:42
Speaker 1: that led the entire game on Thursday night against the Bengals,
3:45
Speaker 1: nearly being a team that we just said is much
3:47
Speaker 1: more advanced than the Jaguars are right now. That does
3:49
Speaker 1: not help the frustration felt by the head coach and
3:52
Speaker 1: the players in that locker room. You create your own brakes,
3:56
Speaker 1: and then you know I've I've said this from day one,
3:59
Speaker 1: is that the core well this team are good players,
4:03
Speaker 1: and I thought we brought in some good players and
4:05
Speaker 1: we're getting better each week. We alred getting better each week.
4:08
Speaker 1: Just sickening the two and win that thing. But like
4:10
Speaker 1: I told you, I'm not wrong about that. I'm not
4:12
Speaker 1: wrong about those guys in that room. Okay, Now we
4:16
Speaker 1: look forward to this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans, and
4:20
Speaker 1: big thing too is tested run deference. This is your week.
4:24
Speaker 1: They have been improving. You look at the Bengals only
4:26
Speaker 1: allowed seventy eight yards rushing. But here comes that man,
4:29
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. This is the true test. But first, Malcolm Brown,
4:33
Speaker 1: what are your postgame thoughts? We want we wanted two
4:37
Speaker 1: players away? Um, I mean the whole lot room knows it,
4:40
Speaker 1: you know, I mean we feel that every game walking away.
4:41
Speaker 1: That's that's the sad point about it all. It's like,
4:43
Speaker 1: you know, we know where we are as a team,
4:46
Speaker 1: we feel how we feel we're playing and stuff like that,
4:48
Speaker 1: and you walk away with l and it's kind of like,
4:50
Speaker 1: you know, thing like we should be sitting on other
4:53
Speaker 1: side of this thing right now, but it is what
4:55
Speaker 1: it is. And you know we just like I said,
4:57
Speaker 1: I gotta go back to work at this point. And
5:00
Speaker 1: now you have it. That is big things. We go
5:01
Speaker 1: back to big thing one, which is sel this. You
5:04
Speaker 1: can look at this record and you can see the
5:06
Speaker 1: dramatic difference from week one to week four where this
5:09
Speaker 1: team is at. And we keep saying, Okay, no one
5:10
Speaker 1: wants to hear this, but maybe they do, Maybe they
5:12
Speaker 1: do want to hear this thing is getting better. Well,
5:14
Speaker 1: they're gonna hear it right now. They are. There's a
5:16
Speaker 1: couple of guys that you have to point out the
5:18
Speaker 1: job that Darryl Bevil and Brian Schottenheimer have done week
5:22
Speaker 1: to week. I think my hot take last Monday, if
5:24
Speaker 1: you recall, was Trevor would not throw an interception right,
5:28
Speaker 1: not turn the ball correct. And it was because I
5:31
Speaker 1: had talked to Brian Schottenheimer and he was and we
5:34
Speaker 1: were talking about the way this kid doesn't make the
5:36
Speaker 1: same mistakes twice and how dialed in he gets. It
5:41
Speaker 1: just felt to me like this was going to be
5:43
Speaker 1: that game, and of course it was. They've done a
5:45
Speaker 1: nice job getting him there. On the defensive side, what
5:48
Speaker 1: Joe Colin and his defensive staff have done against the run.
5:51
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Mixon wasn't in the game for much
5:53
Speaker 1: of the fourth quarter, and the Jaguars did a hell
5:55
Speaker 1: of a job in the first half and not letting
5:57
Speaker 1: him get going. He doesn't look as against Derrick Henry,
6:00
Speaker 1: but he's not that much smaller. He's six pounds and
6:04
Speaker 1: he runs with power. There's a lot of assistant coaches
6:08
Speaker 1: on this staff that are doing a hell of a
6:10
Speaker 1: job at taking players and getting more out of them
6:13
Speaker 1: week to week that I can sell. Yeah, I can
6:17
Speaker 1: also sell the run defense. What I can't quite sell.
6:21
Speaker 1: I guess this is cell So I dont want to
6:22
Speaker 1: be negative, but it seemed to me Brian that Jaguars
6:26
Speaker 1: stopped the run and in the Bengals in the second
6:28
Speaker 1: half said okay, you stopped ring. Now let's see if
6:30
Speaker 1: you can stop when we go empty backfield and you
6:33
Speaker 1: have to Yeah, there's no that was the That's my
6:38
Speaker 1: concern going forward, even against Derrick Henry is once they
6:41
Speaker 1: stopped the run, what happened? Okay, Well, so now the
6:43
Speaker 1: pressures on Tim Walton. You've got to get Tyson Campbell
6:45
Speaker 1: up and running. He's a kid that looks like an
6:48
Speaker 1: NFL cornerback, runs like an NFL cornerback, and yet seems
6:53
Speaker 1: seems from my perspective, to be lost. That may be
6:56
Speaker 1: too strong of an adjective, but it seems like when
6:59
Speaker 1: the play needs to be made, he's two steps behind
7:01
Speaker 1: instead of one. I just talked about assistant coaches getting more.
7:05
Speaker 1: Tim Walton's got to get more, and they're all in
7:07
Speaker 1: four for goodness stakes, you can't sell everything is being
7:09
Speaker 1: perfect and the reality of it is is that this
7:12
Speaker 1: team is highly imperfect with its roster. There are glaring
7:15
Speaker 1: holes that have to be filled. This takes time, but
7:19
Speaker 1: I Thursday night, when that game was done, I felt
7:23
Speaker 1: like I could sell where this was headed. I felt
7:26
Speaker 1: like I could, right, Maybe you can't, Maybe people don't
7:28
Speaker 1: believe right now, I can sell the offensive line. Yeah,
7:33
Speaker 1: all optimism this morning. Through four games, the offensive line
7:36
Speaker 1: continues to play well. And I think if the offensive
7:38
Speaker 1: line continues to play this well, I know it's gonna
7:40
Speaker 1: happen to a j can But Ben Bart seem like
7:42
Speaker 1: he played okay in his place. The offensive line plays
7:44
Speaker 1: as well on the defensive line. At some point it
7:46
Speaker 1: will come together where those two lines which are playing
7:50
Speaker 1: okay in the fundamental run and stop the run. I
7:54
Speaker 1: can sell that they will win a game or two
7:56
Speaker 1: based off of that. And and I can sell that
7:58
Speaker 1: Bernie Parmally, if James Robinson is getting started right and
8:02
Speaker 1: not having Carlo's hyde hurt because you didn't have that
8:05
Speaker 1: hammer hammer hammer, Um, Bernie party has done a nice
8:08
Speaker 1: job at getting those two guys to play consistently. I mean,
8:12
Speaker 1: there's a lot of places where you can see, okay,
8:14
Speaker 1: we can build on this we can build on this
8:16
Speaker 1: because remember we're not talking about a playoff team, we're
8:18
Speaker 1: talking about a team that's building. There are building blocks there,
8:21
Speaker 1: there are materials missing, and you draft, for example, Tyson
8:25
Speaker 1: Campbell to be your starting cornerback over time, and I
8:28
Speaker 1: don't know if he's as lost as the narrative is.
8:30
Speaker 1: I think I saw some big place where he would
8:32
Speaker 1: go but make a tackle that I was surprised about.
8:33
Speaker 1: There it's clear what he needs to work on, which
8:36
Speaker 1: is the ball near well. Jamaar Chase is a guy
8:39
Speaker 1: who is he But you drafted this guy to be
8:42
Speaker 1: able to handle that, so he's got to get better.
8:46
Speaker 1: Tyson Campbell is really good. It's four games in. Yeah,
8:49
Speaker 1: when he's playing the Ryan he's really good. When he's
8:51
Speaker 1: playing short balls and company knock him down, he frankly
8:54
Speaker 1: has been bad when the ball is in the air
8:56
Speaker 1: deep thirty five yards downfield. That is where teams are
8:59
Speaker 1: looking at and say and okay, we can beat that.
9:02
Speaker 1: And until he until he beats that, he's gonna keep
9:05
Speaker 1: getting tested. And by the way, another place they've got
9:07
Speaker 1: to get better is the pass rush. It just Josh
9:09
Speaker 1: Allen is seeing guys sliding in his direction because Caleb
9:13
Speaker 1: and Jason or Dwan smooth. They've got to get free.
9:15
Speaker 1: They've got to find a way to make the offensive
9:18
Speaker 1: coordinator pay attention to them so that Alan can go.
9:22
Speaker 1: This team needs more guys who can win one on
9:25
Speaker 1: one no matter what positions. They gotta win their matchups.
9:28
Speaker 1: The NFL isn't about plays. It's about players. That's the
9:32
Speaker 1: most important part. Having the players who can execute Jack
9:36
Speaker 1: worsteing more of them. Yes, we did, and that is
9:39
Speaker 1: an own four team right now. That is improving, but
9:42
Speaker 1: not where they need to be before we go to break.
9:43
Speaker 1: One thing about Derrick Henry coming in here. This work.
9:46
Speaker 1: So he's gonna put up his numbers. He always does.
9:49
Speaker 1: But the Jets and by the way, Quincy Williams hate
9:52
Speaker 1: to see him not here because he played like a
9:54
Speaker 1: stud yesterday. That's a good player. Um, you're gonna have
9:59
Speaker 1: to have somebody Derrick Henry like Quincy Williams did on
10:02
Speaker 1: fourth down. And you're gonna have to have people that
10:04
Speaker 1: make a stop on Derrick Henry in a critical moment
10:07
Speaker 1: of the ball game where it's either early and it
10:10
Speaker 1: could get away from them, or late and they're trying
10:12
Speaker 1: to hold on, but you're gonna have to get a
10:15
Speaker 1: play on Derrick Henry in the running game on third
10:18
Speaker 1: down where you kid him as hard as Quincy Williams did.
10:22
Speaker 1: I'm going to have to play fearless this week. I
10:24
Speaker 1: always do against that guy. Yes, when we come back
10:27
Speaker 1: on Jaguars Drive Time, some highlights from Thursday night football
10:29
Speaker 1: coming up. Jack's Drive Time is brought to you by
10:41
Speaker 1: t I a a bank turns potential into progress, and
10:45
Speaker 1: by publics where shopping is a pleasure. Ye called car

Speaker 1: shield Now, if your cars on a manufacturers warranty, don't
10:59
Speaker 1: get stuck with expect some mechanical and computer repairs called
11:02
Speaker 1: car shields. We're back Jaguars Drive Time. It is Monday,
11:08
Speaker 1: coming off a Thursday night football game against the Bengals,
11:11
Speaker 1: and we have some highlights for you. Were going to
11:13
Speaker 1: start right here in the first quarter. Jaguars start fast,
11:16
Speaker 1: this beautiful drive and things are feeling good us. Well,
11:38
Speaker 1: it doesn't make me feel good. It's quite the spoil Earlert.
11:42
Speaker 1: It's not I don't feel I apologize. I just burst
11:45
Speaker 1: the bubble. Let's go to the correct first drive. I'm
11:53
Speaker 1: just able to this drive. It's very good Pronunay and
12:04
Speaker 1: did the newest Dan Arnold he had a week ago.
12:09
Speaker 1: That's a security right before you pack. I've been going
12:13
Speaker 1: after a chance because you kind of touchdown there you
12:17
Speaker 1: go out. Yeah, I feel darn good. Million bucks. That
12:22
Speaker 1: was an impressive drive, and you know, I was glad
12:25
Speaker 1: to see it, Brian, because it felt like a build
12:29
Speaker 1: on the previous week and what I was surprised with.
12:33
Speaker 1: And I wrote this several times, like everybody did. I
12:36
Speaker 1: spent all last week three days talking about oh a
12:38
Speaker 1: Thursday night game, Young Team, road Team. I honestly thought
12:43
Speaker 1: they were going to get beat by twenty five points
12:44
Speaker 1: this week because of that, not because they're not cable
12:49
Speaker 1: playing like they did. I thought the Thursday game thing
12:51
Speaker 1: would really take a toll on this team, and you
12:53
Speaker 1: would see a team right down. That coupled with this,
12:56
Speaker 1: made me feel much better about the situation. I did
12:59
Speaker 1: not think that we're gonna get blown out. I thought
13:01
Speaker 1: I thought, well, now, I thought that they could go
13:04
Speaker 1: in there and move the ball against the Bengals defense
13:08
Speaker 1: that was playing better, but it's not a great Bengals,
13:11
Speaker 1: and I thought that they might be able to keep up.
13:14
Speaker 1: I didn't know that they'd be able to go up
13:15
Speaker 1: and down the field. The one thing I'll point out
13:17
Speaker 1: there is Dan Arnold. A week ago, most people didn't
13:20
Speaker 1: know right. Um. I had seen him play a couple
13:23
Speaker 1: of games for the Rams last year, and that is
13:26
Speaker 1: exactly what I saw enough for the Rents for the
13:28
Speaker 1: Cardinals against the Rams. Um, he's not a game breaker,
13:32
Speaker 1: but man, he's athletic and he's going to be an
13:34
Speaker 1: important part of this team, backing things off once he
13:37
Speaker 1: gets a couple of weeks here and creating opportunities for
13:41
Speaker 1: other guys. Uh. He looks like the best playmaker at
13:46
Speaker 1: that position with one game since how long? I mean,
13:50
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since they've bet a tight
13:52
Speaker 1: end that they could go to like that. He's smooth
13:54
Speaker 1: and he seems to make guys miss on the first catch.
13:58
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna make that miss turn
14:00
Speaker 1: to at yard. He had two touchdowns against the Rams
14:05
Speaker 1: for the Cardinals against the Rams when I watched him
14:07
Speaker 1: last year and thought, the Jaguars need a guy like that, right,
14:11
Speaker 1: A good guy who you hope is your number two
14:14
Speaker 1: long term, and you go and find a young guy
14:16
Speaker 1: to be your number one. Um, I just couldn't help
14:19
Speaker 1: but watch him and think, once he's here longer than
14:22
Speaker 1: a couple of days, he's going to be an important
14:24
Speaker 1: part of the offense going forward. If O'Shaughnessy can get
14:27
Speaker 1: healthy and Dan Aarland stays healthy, they can be functional
14:31
Speaker 1: at that spot. They were going to turn in a
14:33
Speaker 1: lot of forty five yard plays, but they're going to
14:37
Speaker 1: get first downs and haven't had that. They haven't had
14:39
Speaker 1: two guys like that in a If you get the
14:41
Speaker 1: first downs, you can keep with the running game, which
14:43
Speaker 1: allows you to stay with play action. They're a critical
14:45
Speaker 1: part of this thing. Speaking of keeping it going, let's
14:48
Speaker 1: stay here in the first quarter, we're moving and grooving
14:51
Speaker 1: and we're keeping the score going. It's touch, there's a
15:04
Speaker 1: lottitude and not touched on celebration, and I liked it. Well.
15:07
Speaker 1: He felt you could just feel that he was playing
15:10
Speaker 1: the game. Um, I don't know whether whether he just
15:14
Speaker 1: felt more like, what's the right term, that he was confident, confident,
15:19
Speaker 1: not even swagger, but just that he was able to
15:21
Speaker 1: control some some of the action for the first time
15:23
Speaker 1: in a couple of weeks. Instead of reacting, he was
15:26
Speaker 1: being proactive. He felt it he was comfortable. It was
15:29
Speaker 1: good to say he was playing like demand and that's it. Uh,
15:33
Speaker 1: it's not surprising that it took two or three weeks.
15:36
Speaker 1: If they're finding it's important for them to find the
15:40
Speaker 1: right balance of him doing this. I still don't want
15:42
Speaker 1: to see this a lot of Franklin. I don't care.
15:44
Speaker 1: If he's good at it, he this will still put
15:48
Speaker 1: him at too much risk if this is all they
15:50
Speaker 1: do with them. But uh, he clearly is comfortable there,
15:55
Speaker 1: so they have to find a balance that works for
15:57
Speaker 1: them and still keeps him safe no matter what the
15:59
Speaker 1: wreck it is when the season ends. If he is
16:02
Speaker 1: getting better and more comfortable and more competent, more looking
16:05
Speaker 1: like the man, this season is arousing success. Totally agreed.
16:09
Speaker 1: Right it is now halftime, Coach Meyer tells Aaron Andrews
16:13
Speaker 1: on the Fox broadcast. The message in the locker room
16:15
Speaker 1: is do not turn the ball over. Well, the Bengals
16:18
Speaker 1: made major halftime adjustments and this is starting to become
16:21
Speaker 1: a trend where they come out and score almost immediately.
16:24
Speaker 1: If you didn't turn the ball OVERSI to take care
16:26
Speaker 1: of it. Here were cherish her primals mare period and yeah,
16:47
Speaker 1: incredibly quick flip of momentum, and it's it's the halftime adjustments,
16:51
Speaker 1: and then it seems like this team then can't react
16:53
Speaker 1: to what is adjusted. Well, halftime adjustments often take place
16:58
Speaker 1: when team they have superior talent, which I think right
17:02
Speaker 1: now most teams are more pure talent than the Jaguars
17:06
Speaker 1: come in at halftime and say, okay, where can we
17:08
Speaker 1: attack And it was clear from that that right now
17:11
Speaker 1: people think that they can go attack Tyson Campbell peep
17:14
Speaker 1: and has success enough to make that worth the risk.
17:18
Speaker 1: That's what they did twice. They did on the next
17:19
Speaker 1: series as well, So to me, that was a big
17:22
Speaker 1: halftime adjustment. But overall, they clearly said, okay, they're stopping
17:25
Speaker 1: Joe mixing. Uh, we are going to have Joe Burrow
17:30
Speaker 1: see if four or five wide receivers can beat their
17:34
Speaker 1: four or five defensive backs. They said, okay, our fifth
17:37
Speaker 1: wide receiver is gonna beat their fifth defensive back and
17:39
Speaker 1: Joe's gonna find the matchup and he did. So it
17:42
Speaker 1: sounds like there's a little bit of a mentality issue here. Um.
17:45
Speaker 1: You know, the Bengals had to down fourteen to nothing,
17:48
Speaker 1: they had to change some things up, They had to
17:51
Speaker 1: go be aggressive. The Jaguars said, let's not turn the
17:53
Speaker 1: ball over. What does that sound like? It sounds like,
17:55
Speaker 1: all right, let's be cautious, right. Um. I mean I
17:58
Speaker 1: wasn't there in the locker room. I don't have game plan.
18:00
Speaker 1: I don't know, but if I'm looking at it from before,
18:03
Speaker 1: and I was, the Jaguars were trying to make sure
18:06
Speaker 1: that they didn't give the game away, and the Bengals
18:09
Speaker 1: had to buy virtue of the fact they were down
18:11
Speaker 1: by two touchdowns, go and take it away. Okay, Well,
18:13
Speaker 1: the Jaguars aren't in a position where they can necessarily
18:16
Speaker 1: be as aggressive as they like with the rookie quarterback
18:19
Speaker 1: and without DJ Hark. Yeah, which was huge, and that
18:22
Speaker 1: tight end was a matchup problem. And the Bengals kept
18:24
Speaker 1: on rolling and now all the momentum is on their side.
18:41
Speaker 1: Same guy, yeah, same guy. And uh one thing in
18:45
Speaker 1: that play, Josh Allen was back in coverage. I've gotten
18:48
Speaker 1: a ton of everywhere. Well, here's the deal with that.
18:53
Speaker 1: And I assume it's going to continue to be a thing.
18:56
Speaker 1: And Myles Jack I beat on that he's not gonna
18:59
Speaker 1: be able to come are all the way across the field.
19:01
Speaker 1: There supposed to be pressure on that Josh Allen is
19:03
Speaker 1: going to dropping coverage this year. He's not gonna dropping
19:06
Speaker 1: coverage more than he rushes. But in a three or
19:08
Speaker 1: four defense, you're outside linebackers. This is not a four three.
19:12
Speaker 1: You know, everybody wanted to three four and thought it
19:14
Speaker 1: was the cure all to all things football. In a
19:17
Speaker 1: four three, Josh Allen rushes all the time. In a
19:19
Speaker 1: three or four defense, every edge rusher, every edge defender
19:23
Speaker 1: who has ever played the scheme drops in a certain
19:27
Speaker 1: in certain looks. He will continue to do that. So
19:30
Speaker 1: keep emailing, right, didn't email? It ain't gonna you never do,
19:35
Speaker 1: and I've hurt by that. Um, it's uh, that's not
19:39
Speaker 1: gonna change. It's part of the scheme. It's it's not
19:42
Speaker 1: bad coaching. It's not putting guys in wrong situations. If
19:46
Speaker 1: you're gonna play this scheme, which has a lot of
19:47
Speaker 1: different looks up front, Josh Allen's gonna drop six seven
19:50
Speaker 1: times again. Greg Lloyd and Kevin Green, the great linebackers,
19:54
Speaker 1: and those stealings williamc. Ginnis drop. It happens. It's part.
19:58
Speaker 1: It's calculated based on down a distance and the personnel
20:01
Speaker 1: group on the field. It's going to happen, and eventually
20:04
Speaker 1: someone else will make a play or Josh shall make
20:06
Speaker 1: a pick, and then they'll say, brilliant on a bad
20:09
Speaker 1: play James Harrison, Yes, the great Super Bowl play. Here's
20:13
Speaker 1: pass rush. Yeah, he's back in coverage. He's back in coverage.
20:16
Speaker 1: That's how you have to play this defense. All right.
20:18
Speaker 1: Now we go to the end of the game and
20:20
Speaker 1: the defense really just needed a big time play and
20:23
Speaker 1: couldn't make it happen. And here is the heartbreaking loss
20:26
Speaker 1: that we alluded to earlier. And now you haven't the
20:46
Speaker 1: Bengals win by a field goal on Thursday night football.
20:49
Speaker 1: Close game, but that last drive really needed something to
20:52
Speaker 1: happen there. Well, and that speaks to another theme that
20:56
Speaker 1: you know, look, DearS haven't had enough pass rushed. But
20:59
Speaker 1: if you watch this way the balls out, you're not
21:01
Speaker 1: going to get a sack on that play. Ryan, And
21:04
Speaker 1: there were a lot of plays in the second half.
21:06
Speaker 1: I don't have any errand if they ran forty plays
21:08
Speaker 1: the Bengals in the second half, I'm just not at
21:10
Speaker 1: that number. Thirty five. I'm on the passes the ball
21:13
Speaker 1: was out before a sack was realistic. The issue is
21:16
Speaker 1: four or five times when they couldn't quite get pressure.
21:19
Speaker 1: They didn't. But against the Bengals, the way they play,
21:23
Speaker 1: you're not going to have a high sack number typically Bross.
21:26
Speaker 1: I mean, he's very smart. We forget, well we don't,
21:29
Speaker 1: but some people forget that guy was the number one
21:31
Speaker 1: overall pick and one of the great college quarterbacks of
21:33
Speaker 1: all time. And he made plays and he's got some guys.
21:36
Speaker 1: And we said d J. Chark was out of the ballgame.
21:38
Speaker 1: So you lost that guy that goes deep fast. Um,
21:42
Speaker 1: he had, he didn't have te Higgins, but tash poind
21:45
Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd just was everywhere that night. I mean, and
21:48
Speaker 1: you're combining him with your marchase. There were matchup issues.
21:52
Speaker 1: Jaguars don't have enough guys to create matchup issues. That's
21:55
Speaker 1: where they've got to get better. Yes, and our thoughts
21:57
Speaker 1: are with DJ Chark by the way, Absolutely guy, great player,
22:01
Speaker 1: but our person and we believe to be a fractured ankle.
22:04
Speaker 1: We're going to get a confirmation on that this morning
22:07
Speaker 1: at eleven am when Coach Meyer has a press conference.
22:09
Speaker 1: But all thinking of him because that was pretty unfortunate. Yeah,
22:12
Speaker 1: good guy. Um, I hope he's well. Hope he gets
22:16
Speaker 1: back and yeah, tough breaking a contract here, Yeah, you know,
22:20
Speaker 1: I mean that that you're trying to stay healthy and
22:22
Speaker 1: trying to play your best so that you can run
22:24
Speaker 1: the contract for your family, and then that thing happens.
22:26
Speaker 1: But he's he's He'll say this about DJ He's a
22:31
Speaker 1: balanced enough person. He'll figure out a way to get
22:34
Speaker 1: through this um fractured ankle. I don't think should set
22:38
Speaker 1: him back physically where he's not the same player. If
22:40
Speaker 1: he comes back, it'll be a setback, But he seems
22:42
Speaker 1: like the kind of kid who can overcome it and
22:44
Speaker 1: come through. Like Trevor said, he's made of the right
22:46
Speaker 1: stuff and that's for sure with him when we come back.
22:49

23:12
Speaker 1: To wager. Concerned about gambling, please call one eight hundred
23:16
Speaker 1: five to four seven zero zero. Well back Jack, guys,
23:23
Speaker 1: Drive Time. It is Monday, which means it is time
23:25
Speaker 1: for some hot takes. Brian Sexton up, you know what
23:28
Speaker 1: this team keeps playing better, and I expect him to
23:31
Speaker 1: play better on Sunday against the Titans. Now they've it's
23:34
Speaker 1: gonna be challenging week. These guys have to stay focused
23:36
Speaker 1: on football and football only this week. Um, but the
23:41
Speaker 1: Titans have a couple of wide receivers who are banged
23:43
Speaker 1: up with hamstring injuries, and those are not one week
23:46
Speaker 1: sort of things. Those are the kinds of things that
23:47
Speaker 1: can linger. Even if A. J. Brown and Julio Jones
23:50
Speaker 1: are back on the field this week, I don't expect
23:52
Speaker 1: them to be their normally explosive selves. Um. This comes
23:55
Speaker 1: down to Derrick Henry. This team is playing the run well. Um.
23:59
Speaker 1: I like the way that Trevor Lawd is getting better.
24:01
Speaker 1: I think this is a moment where the Jaguars can
24:03
Speaker 1: get a win, but they must stay focused on football
24:07
Speaker 1: this week. Yes yeah, I um. The hot take is
24:14
Speaker 1: not supposed to be the oh that's everywhere because my
24:16
Speaker 1: hot take is with a J. D J and even C. J.
24:22
Speaker 1: Henderson owls attention. I'm not sure about a J. Can.
24:26
Speaker 1: But the point is, especially with DJ out, it's starting
24:30
Speaker 1: to become attrician time. They've been a pretty healthy team
24:34
Speaker 1: and now all three of those guys think about it.
24:36
Speaker 1: We're starting two weeks ago, so now you're a little
24:39
Speaker 1: less than the secondary than you are, You're a little
24:41
Speaker 1: less on the offensive line, you're a little less and
24:43
Speaker 1: wide receiver. That happens in the NFL. But they've gone
24:49
Speaker 1: through what we thought was the manageable part of the
24:52
Speaker 1: schedule and now they're into Titans playoff team. Dolphins are
24:56
Speaker 1: struggling with their playoff team last year. So I can't
24:58
Speaker 1: put the Dolphins in that the next eight or nine
24:59
Speaker 1: game get tough. Now you're into it where NFL reality hits.
25:04
Speaker 1: Now you're moving in Tyson Campbell, you're moving in Ben Bart's,
25:06
Speaker 1: you're moving in uh another wide receiver. Where you want
25:10
Speaker 1: a d J chart. This is where you have to
25:12
Speaker 1: start overcoming those things. And it's coming at a difficult
25:15
Speaker 1: time in the season, and you're making the argument do
25:18
Speaker 1: you have the depth to overcome that. I'm saying with
25:21
Speaker 1: my hottake, I don't think you have the depth to
25:23
Speaker 1: overcome d J chart. But I think Jamal Agnew makes
25:26
Speaker 1: you feel a little bit better about this because we
25:28
Speaker 1: saw some big time play from him on Thursday night
25:31
Speaker 1: seven yard toe drag catch and eleven yard run. This
25:34
Speaker 1: is a guy who just two years ago started playing
25:36
Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think they go to him for some
25:39
Speaker 1: playmaking ability. We he's shown it on special teams, but
25:42
Speaker 1: maybe this is where he's now forced to play more
25:45
Speaker 1: receiver and be on the field more. I think it
25:47
Speaker 1: makes you feel a little bit better about this. You
25:49
Speaker 1: don't want to see DG chark out, but Jamal Agnew
25:51
Speaker 1: showed some some highlights, especial He's going to carry it, Brian.
25:55
Speaker 1: But just Lynn's point, I do think he can make
25:58
Speaker 1: that one big play to turn around. He gets seven
26:03
Speaker 1: yard play and in the eleven yard run if he
26:07
Speaker 1: does offensively what he did Thursday, all of a sudden,
26:09
Speaker 1: that's an element that they didn't have before. Okay, I'm
26:15
Speaker 1: fine with that. I watched the Titans yesterday and their
26:18
Speaker 1: offensive line is down another starter. Um. I just think
26:22
Speaker 1: if this team is focused, that this team can go
26:24
Speaker 1: and play the style of football they want to play
26:27
Speaker 1: and be able to because I think a lot of
26:29
Speaker 1: people can look and go Titans. But I watched the
26:31
Speaker 1: Titans against the Jets. Jets have some I think, you know,
26:33
Speaker 1: Corey Davis, they have some playmakers there. Um, I don't
26:37
Speaker 1: know I just have this feeling that this team can
26:38
Speaker 1: do something. Oh yeah, we say Titans because we're so
26:40
Speaker 1: used to the Derrick Henry and the Nash. He's going
26:42
Speaker 1: to get his number. He's gonna know, he's going to
26:45
Speaker 1: get his numbers. Like I said earlier, it's gonna come
26:46
Speaker 1: down to, can you stop him on third down and
26:48
Speaker 1: three in the fourth quarter when the game is still
26:51
Speaker 1: in reach? Can you do that? They're going to have
26:54
Speaker 1: to Jets did yesterday, Yes they did. When we come back,
26:57
Speaker 1: some closing thoughts. They're on jack Arstrack m m M.
27:11
