- 0:14Speaker 2: Jaguars Post Game is brought.
- 0:16Speaker 1: To you by Farrah & Farrah, the University of Florida, Whataburger,
- 0:20Speaker 1: and by EverBank. Jaguars Post Game, presented by GEHA, starts
- 0:26Speaker 1: right now.
- 0:27Speaker 3: Here we go, Jags.
- 0:28Speaker 4: 22-17 winners this afternoon tonight. At Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati,
- 0:34Speaker 4: Brian Sexton, Mike Dempsey, Fred Taylor, and Mark Duffner with
- 0:37Speaker 4: you from the Hyundai Studios inside the Miller Electric Center
- 0:41Speaker 4: in Jacksonville. Let's get a thought from all three of
- 0:44Speaker 4: our panelists, and we'll start with you, Mike Dempsey. Jaguars
- 0:47Speaker 4: at 3-1 in the AFC.
- 0:50Speaker 5: Oh, yeah.
- 0:51Speaker 3: Look, they're in great position. I think they were very
- 0:53Speaker 3: fortunate to win the game today, but they won the
- 0:55Speaker 3: game today. Look, you're going to have ugly games that
- 0:58Speaker 3: you've got to overcome, and they had to overcome 13
- 1:00Speaker 3: of their own penalties for 125 yards. But they're 3-1.
- 1:05Speaker 3: The Colts are at 2-2 after they won this morning
- 1:08Speaker 3: in very unimpressive fashion against... Washington, who was playing their
- 1:12Speaker 3: third-string quarterback. And the Texans just lost a few minutes ago,
- 1:15Speaker 3: as did the Titans. So Tennessee and Houston, a collective 0-8,
- 1:19Speaker 3: yet to win a game. One team in the history
- 1:21Speaker 3: of the league, Brian, we were talking about it before
- 1:23Speaker 3: the game.
- 1:24Speaker 4: 92 San Diego Chargers.
- 1:25Speaker 3: They're the only team that's ever made the postseason after
- 1:28Speaker 3: starting 0-4, and they won 11 of their next 12 games.
- 1:31Speaker 3: to get there. Good luck with that, Texans.
- 1:35Speaker 4: Coach Mark Duffner, thought from you.
- 1:37Speaker 6: Well, heck, we talked about all week long finish was
- 1:39Speaker 6: going to be a critical thing, and we finished the
- 1:41Speaker 6: game against a very formidable opponent in Cincinnati right now.
- 1:45Speaker 6: But winning the game in two minutes, stopping them when
- 1:48Speaker 6: they had to stop them, critical, excellent execution as far
- 1:51Speaker 6: as that's concerned. And the other thing you talked about
- 1:53Speaker 6: was the takeaway battle, and we won that 2-0. We
- 1:56Speaker 6: had good ball security on offense, got the ball from
- 2:00Speaker 6: twice in the interceptions, nine straight games with an interception.
- 2:03Speaker 4: There was a moment where we thought the game was
- 2:04Speaker 4: over when Parker Washington went for 39 yards, and then
- 2:08Speaker 4: he was ruled to have run out of bounds. The
- 2:10Speaker 4: Jaguars had to punt, and then Burrow goes plus 29,
- 2:13Speaker 4: plus 18, plus 15, basically just finding his way down
- 2:18Speaker 4: the field until they faced 4th and 10 at the Jaguars'
- 2:22Speaker 4: 21-yard line. He dumps it off. Rayon Lane makes a
- 2:25Speaker 4: huge play.
- 2:26Speaker 6: Yeah, and Rayon Lane coming in and out, playing like
- 2:28Speaker 6: he did when Ransaw got hurt, critical we need big
- 2:31Speaker 6: plays when in the big moments he made it then.
- 2:33Speaker 4: You heard Frank and Jeff talk about one play they
- 2:35Speaker 4: just need one play and they got it the biggest
- 2:38Speaker 4: one of the game delivered by Ray and Lane who
- 2:39Speaker 4: was in the ball game because of injuries at safety
- 2:42Speaker 4: to both Eric Murray and to Caleb Ransaw all right
- 2:46Speaker 4: let's bring in Fred Taylor who joins us via zoom
- 2:49Speaker 4: hello Fred.
- 2:51Speaker 2: Hey, what's up, guys?
- 2:53Speaker 4: Well, listen, 22-17. They win in Cincinnati. They're 3-1. They're
- 2:58Speaker 4: very near the top of the standings in the AFC.
- 3:01Speaker 4: And we want to get a thought from you, just
- 3:02Speaker 4: an overall thought on this game as you finish watching it.
- 3:06Speaker 2: Pretty sloppy game.
- 3:08Speaker 7: Too many penalties, you know, especially to be on the road,
- 3:11Speaker 7: a game that you know you needed to have. But
- 3:14Speaker 7: the good thing is it's easier to correct those after
- 3:18Speaker 7: a win more so than a loss.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You hate to lose a game. knowing that you beat yourself.
- 3:23Speaker 7: To have two touchdowns taken off the board, just a
- 3:26Speaker 7: lot of other, you know, ridiculous penalties and critical moments.
- 3:29Speaker 7: Right there late in the game, Trayvon Walker, you have
- 3:33Speaker 7: the guys almost fourth and one with, you know, around,
- 3:37Speaker 7: what was it, late in the game. Eventually the Bengals
- 3:40Speaker 7: go down and score and attempt to complete a comeback
- 3:45Speaker 7: after you're up 22 to 10 with six minutes to play.
- 3:48Speaker 7: So hopefully these guys can take this one as a
- 3:52Speaker 7: valuable lesson, because it's not often that you get penalized
- 3:55Speaker 7: this amount and eventually walk.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Away with a win.
- 3:58Speaker 7: So hopefully in this fashion, they'll be able to enjoy
- 4:02Speaker 7: the win because that's what you want to do after win,
- 4:05Speaker 7: but also take the teachable moments from this and use
- 4:08Speaker 7: them to get better going forward.
- 4:10Speaker 4: Since we're now telling the story of a Jaguars 22
- 4:13Speaker 4: to 17, when I'll use foreshadowing or to suggest that
- 4:17Speaker 4: foreshadowing was in place, Mike, the very first play of
- 4:20Speaker 4: this game was a long kickoff return by Amir Abdullah.
- 4:25Speaker 4: And we got a holding penalty on Quinton Morris that
- 4:28Speaker 4: brought it back. And on that very drive, they hit
- 4:31Speaker 4: adversity early with a holding penalty on Emmanuel Pregnon. And
- 4:35Speaker 4: we should have, I guess maybe we should, it's going
- 4:37Speaker 4: to be one of those kinds of days. 13 penalties.
- 4:40Speaker 4: Just to put it in perspective, Mike, before we speak.
- 4:42Speaker 4: The Jags had 15 in three prior games. They had 13.
- 4:45Speaker 4: Now they had 11 at the first half, right?
- 4:48Speaker 3: 10 for 100.
- 4:48Speaker 5: So they only had....
- 4:50Speaker 4: Three in the second half for 25 yards. So they
- 4:54Speaker 4: tightened it up. However, Mike, I mean, the penalty thing
- 4:58Speaker 4: from the very first moments of this game was going
- 5:00Speaker 4: to be a problem.
- 5:01Speaker 3: It was ludicrous. I mean, you took away a long
- 5:03Speaker 3: touchdown run from Basil Tootin. You took away an interception.
- 5:06Speaker 3: by Travis Hunter. You took away multiple big plays. You
- 5:09Speaker 3: gave a drive extending first down on the Trayvon Walker penalty.
- 5:13Speaker 3: But good news is Cincinnati didn't get the memo either.
- 5:16Speaker 3: They had 11 for 108. So they did their best
- 5:19Speaker 3: to help offset what the Jags were giving them throughout
- 5:22Speaker 3: the game.
- 5:22Speaker 4: Still, you were frustrated watching the game as a coach.
- 5:24Speaker 4: And I know that coaches do scouting reports on officials
- 5:28Speaker 4: and how many flags they throw and what they like
- 5:30Speaker 4: to throw so that you know what you're coming into
- 5:32Speaker 4: this crew today. Man, 24 penalties thrown for 233 yards.
- 5:38Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know what the scouting report was coming in,
- 5:41Speaker 6: but geez, Pete, they wanted to control the game with
- 5:44Speaker 6: the yellow flag. I mean, it was all over the field.
- 5:46Speaker 6: Like Mike just said, Cincinnati with 11. Now, Cincinnati had
- 5:50Speaker 6: trouble before. They were in the top five in the
- 5:52Speaker 6: league in terms of penalties, but geez, Pete, for it
- 5:54Speaker 6: to be 24 penalties in this game, it's a lot
- 5:57Speaker 6: of flags.
- 5:59Speaker 4: Fred, you're smiling.
- 6:01Speaker 2: Yeah, I am, man.
- 6:03Speaker 7: I mean, I'm still trying to figure out how to
- 6:04Speaker 7: take my son's name off the Zoom thing.
- 6:06Speaker 2: I don't know how to work this thing.
- 6:08Speaker 8: Hold on.
- 6:08Speaker 5: Here we are.
- 6:09Speaker 4: Because we've got Bucky. He has got Rayon Lane, who
- 6:11Speaker 4: made probably the play of the game with that stop
- 6:13Speaker 4: on fourth down at the end.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Buck, go ahead.
- 6:16Speaker 9: Rayon, look, you pressed into action. What went into making
- 6:19Speaker 9: the plays that you had to make down the stretch?
- 6:22Speaker 10: Yeah, I think the biggest thing is, you know, just preparation.
- 6:26Speaker 10: Being in practice, going over the reps over and over,
- 6:28Speaker 10: being able to get in extra film with my teammates.
- 6:31Speaker 10: and just different stuff like that. And just, you know,
- 6:33Speaker 10: whenever somebody goes down, being ready to be the next
- 6:36Speaker 10: man up with no jitters, no nothing like that, just.
- 6:38Speaker 5: Being able to go in there and play.
- 6:40Speaker 9: You know, I talked to Jordan Lewis after the game,
- 6:42Speaker 9: and he talked about how proud he was of you
- 6:44Speaker 9: guys just always being ready, the extra work that you
- 6:46Speaker 9: guys do. It seems like that's a big part of
- 6:48Speaker 9: the coaching environment that we have here.
- 6:50Speaker 5: Most definitely.
- 6:51Speaker 10: I mean, we have a great locker room.
- 6:53Speaker 5: The guys love each other.
- 6:54Speaker 10: So, you know, putting in that extra work with each
- 6:56Speaker 10: other is nothing. You know, that's something we always do.
- 6:58Speaker 10: We pride ourselves on ourselves. We love each other.
- 7:01Speaker 5: We go out there and we play hard.
- 7:02Speaker 9: Well, one thing that I knew in that critical situation,
- 7:04Speaker 9: I've seen you tackle and make a bunch of tackles
- 7:06Speaker 9: in special teams. But when it comes down to it
- 7:08Speaker 9: to make a tackle in that moment, what made you
- 7:10Speaker 9: fight a trigger?
- 7:11Speaker 10: I mean, it's just football at the end of the day.
- 7:13Speaker 10: I mean, I've been playing since I was five years old,
- 7:16Speaker 10: as well as everyone out there. So just going out
- 7:19Speaker 10: there and letting it fly.
- 7:20Speaker 9: Well, man, we appreciate you letting it fly. It was
- 7:22Speaker 9: great to see you get a chance to play. More importantly,
- 7:24Speaker 9: great to see you make a game-winning tackle.
- 7:26Speaker 5: No doubt. I appreciate it. Duval, baby.
- 7:28Speaker 4: That's Bucky Brooks in the EverBank vault. EverBank advantage you.
- 7:32Speaker 4: Other banks talk a big game. We deliver big results.
- 7:34Speaker 4: Set up your game plan at everbank.com slash Jaguars. Let's
- 7:38Speaker 4: take a break. We'll come back and get to Fred Taylor,
- 7:39Speaker 4: who's still smiling because the Jaguars won 22 to 17.
- 7:44Speaker 4: You're listening to Jaguars postgame on Jaguars radio. Well, the
- 7:51Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio Network is presented by UF Health, the official
- 7:54Speaker 4: healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. And we're back on
- 7:57Speaker 4: Jaguars postgame. Jaguars win it 22-17 in Cincinnati today. The
- 8:02Speaker 4: game was presented by Bud Light, the official beer of
- 8:04Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars. And we return to Cincinnati and the
- 8:07Speaker 4: Everbank Bolt. Bucky Brooks is standing by with Basial Tootin.
- 8:10Speaker 8: We knew, you know, from the previous weeks when it
- 8:12Speaker 8: was coming up and we hit a big one today.
- 8:14Speaker 5: But, you know, things happen.
- 8:15Speaker 8: But I think just staying on script and understanding the
- 8:18Speaker 8: run scheme and, you know, practicing hard. allows me to
- 8:20Speaker 8: go out there and play fast.
- 8:21Speaker 5: You know, it's really interesting.
- 8:23Speaker 9: Everyone, all the young guys in particular, talk about preparation
- 8:25Speaker 9: and practice and those things. Has that been a big transition,
- 8:29Speaker 9: getting ready for pro games and getting ready to be
- 8:31Speaker 9: the starter as opposed.
- 8:32Speaker 5: To what you were coming in?
- 8:33Speaker 8: Yeah, it definitely does. I think I took a bigger
- 8:36Speaker 8: step this year coming into my role increasing. And I think,
- 8:39Speaker 8: you know, practicing and preparation and, you know, the playbook
- 8:42Speaker 8: and understand this stuff better.
- 8:43Speaker 5: And then just.
- 8:44Speaker 8: Practicing faster, you know, more decisive. Definitely give me game-like reps.
- 8:48Speaker 8: And I think I'm You know, when I'm out here
- 8:50Speaker 8: in the game, it just feels like practice all over
- 8:52Speaker 8: again because I've been, you know, through it, you know,
- 8:54Speaker 8: a ringer of times.
- 8:55Speaker 9: Everyone knew that you had big play potential, but what
- 8:57Speaker 9: we've seen now is patience and more physicality. In the offseason,
- 9:01Speaker 9: was that something that you worked on? Is that something
- 9:03Speaker 9: that you've been working on on the practice field? Because
- 9:04Speaker 9: it certainly looks like your game has certainly gone up
- 9:06Speaker 9: a notch.
- 9:07Speaker 8: Yeah, it just starts with understanding to play fast. You know,
- 9:10Speaker 8: I'm a powerful back, strong back, so a lot of
- 9:12Speaker 8: people don't like tackling. So just running with that aggression,
- 9:15Speaker 8: getting downhill for me is, you know, is my strong suit. Yard,
- 9:17Speaker 8: that's the contact. So that's the realm I play in,
- 9:20Speaker 8: and it's definitely working this year.
- 9:22Speaker 5: Yeah, it certainly is working.
- 9:23Speaker 9: Talk about the offensive line, because that's a tough front,
- 9:25Speaker 9: Dexter Lawrence and Jonathan Allen. But they did do a
- 9:28Speaker 9: great job of giving you creases to run.
- 9:29Speaker 5: Yeah, they do a great job.
- 9:31Speaker 8: You know, we've been harping on a run game all
- 9:32Speaker 8: throughout practice, how we're going to handle that D-line, knowing
- 9:35Speaker 8: they had a great four. It's just how we're going
- 9:37Speaker 8: to get around it and then, you know, splice through
- 9:40Speaker 8: the middle and, you know, scheming it up pretty good.
- 9:42Speaker 8: And I think, you know, they started in practice, and
- 9:44Speaker 8: they were on the keys about everything, and it definitely
- 9:46Speaker 8: showed today.
- 9:47Speaker 9: Well, look, it showed up. You had a great game.
- 9:49Speaker 9: Outstanding performance. Nice win for you. We'll see you next week.
- 9:51Speaker 5: Thank you.
- 9:52Speaker 4: All right, Bucky, thanks for that effort from the Everbank vault.
- 9:54Speaker 4: Let's get Fred Taylor back involved in this conversation because
- 9:57Speaker 4: I want to talk about the running game today. Tootin
- 9:59Speaker 4: had a 44-yard touchdown run pulled off because of a
- 10:03Speaker 4: holding penalty. He finishes 17 for 73 and a 4.3-yard
- 10:09Speaker 4: per carry average, 20-yard long. Add in Chris Rodriguez. He
- 10:12Speaker 4: had six for 35 with a 25-yard touchdown run. And
- 10:15Speaker 4: the Jaguars running backs combined, 23 rushing attempts spread, 108 yards.
- 10:19Speaker 4: That's 4.7 per rushing attempt. And that touchdown, I'd say
- 10:24Speaker 4: if you're looking at success rate or whatever metric, the
- 10:27Speaker 4: Jaguars running game, Really had a nice day.
- 10:31Speaker 7: Yeah, they had a pretty solid day. And, you know,
- 10:33Speaker 7: you needed to do that versus that big front that
- 10:38Speaker 7: the Bengals have led by Dexter Lawrence. Also, it helps
- 10:42Speaker 7: keep pressure off of Trevor Lawrence. The better off they
- 10:45Speaker 7: run the ball. Unfortunately, you don't want to see those,
- 10:48Speaker 7: the big plays run back. Trust me, there are many
- 10:50Speaker 7: a times I dashed in the end zone and.
- 10:52Speaker 2: Kind of looked back and hopefully we were clear of
- 10:55Speaker 2: the yellow cloth.
- 10:56Speaker 7: And a few times, There were some that were called back,
- 10:58Speaker 7: and you hate those. But, you know, you got to
- 11:00Speaker 7: line up again and try to get it back, which
- 11:02Speaker 7: is what they did. They kept on churning away throughout
- 11:05Speaker 7: the day. As Basial said right there in the interview
- 11:07Speaker 7: with Bucky, he has gotten better. You can see that
- 11:11Speaker 7: the game is slowing down for him. You know, he's
- 11:13Speaker 7: running with a sense of urgency without being in a rush.
- 11:16Speaker 7: So he's able to maintain his balance. He's able to
- 11:19Speaker 7: let just the game come to him and have that patience.
- 11:22Speaker 7: And when he sees it, he gets it. So I
- 11:24Speaker 7: love his burst. I love his acceleration. Now to talk
- 11:27Speaker 7: about Chris Rodriguez, just another hammer, man. And they have
- 11:32Speaker 7: good one-two complementary set between those guys because one is
- 11:36Speaker 7: a hammer can wear you out in Rodriguez. And then
- 11:39Speaker 7: if you go to sleep at the wheel, Basial Tootin,
- 11:42Speaker 7: he has the jets and acceleration and speed to take
- 11:45Speaker 7: it a distance.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Now, I imagine, listen, that last drive where the Jaguars
- 11:49Speaker 4: ended up having to punt the ball back to the Bengals.
- 11:54Speaker 4: They tried to run, and they didn't have any success.
- 11:56Speaker 4: They lost a couple of yards, right? And maybe that's
- 11:59Speaker 4: because the Bengals stacked it up. I didn't watch it
- 12:03Speaker 4: in terms of counting who was at the line of scrimmage.
- 12:05Speaker 4: Maybe all 11 were there. I don't know. But that's
- 12:07Speaker 4: one thing that this coach wants to do, Mike, is
- 12:09Speaker 4: he wants to be able to run when he absolutely...
- 12:11Speaker 4: has to run, he wants to be able to.
- 12:13Speaker 3: Yeah, I think most coaches do. I do think it
- 12:16Speaker 3: just had the feel that you knew what the Jags
- 12:18Speaker 3: were going to do. They were going to run it
- 12:20Speaker 3: a few times, see if they could get the clock rolling.
- 12:22Speaker 3: Cincinnati was using their timeouts and getting good stops early on. And,
- 12:27Speaker 3: you know, so you can credit in that circumstance. But, yeah,
- 12:29Speaker 3: you'd like to be able to lean on a team
- 12:31Speaker 3: late in the game when you've got them worn down
- 12:33Speaker 3: a little bit, particularly after you've run pretty effectively throughout
- 12:36Speaker 3: the game. So taking away that 44-yarder from Basil Tootin,
- 12:39Speaker 3: that 20-yard run, is officially the longest run he's had
- 12:42Speaker 3: in the regular season in his brief Jaguar career. You
- 12:46Speaker 3: just feel like those 50- and 60-yarders are going to
- 12:49Speaker 3: be there for him. He is just that close to
- 12:52Speaker 3: breaking the long one like he did that got called
- 12:54Speaker 3: back on penalty.
- 12:55Speaker 4: And, Coach, looking at the defense against the run, why
- 12:59Speaker 4: even talk about it? Fred, the Bengals don't want to
- 13:01Speaker 4: run the ball. You've been saying that, Duff, right?
- 13:03Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 13:04Speaker 6: Well, they've been– A little judicious on when and why
- 13:09Speaker 6: to run the football.
- 13:10Speaker 4: 12 attempts, 17 yards.
- 13:11Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 13:12Speaker 6: No, I think today they were committed right now from
- 13:15Speaker 6: the get-go to try to get the ball moving through
- 13:17Speaker 6: the air, try to get the ball to their explosive
- 13:19Speaker 6: players in Jamar Chase and Higgins. Chase being hurt, I
- 13:23Speaker 6: hope he's going to be okay. But that was the plan,
- 13:26Speaker 6: and also get the ball to the running back as
- 13:27Speaker 6: far as throwing the ball.
- 13:29Speaker 4: Jaguars win it 22-17 over the Cincinnati Bengals. They improved
- 13:33Speaker 4: to 3-1, and we will obviously, as we go through
- 13:36Speaker 4: the course– Jaguars postgame and on into the scoreboard show
- 13:40Speaker 4: for those of you in Jacksonville. We will outline what
- 13:43Speaker 4: that means for where they stand at the quarter poll,
- 13:45Speaker 4: but just in broad general brushstrokes, Fred, a month of
- 13:50Speaker 4: the season is gone by and the Jaguars head to
- 13:53Speaker 4: London this week, three and one, with really big wins
- 13:59Speaker 4: in the last two weeks over the Patriots and and
- 14:03Speaker 4: the Bengals. Let's go back to the Everbank Vault at
- 14:05Speaker 4: Paycore Stadium. Bucky Brooks is standing by with head coach
- 14:08Speaker 4: Liam Cohen.
- 14:08Speaker 11: Buck?
- 14:10Speaker 9: Coach, normally I always ask you your immediate thoughts, but
- 14:12Speaker 9: I've listened to you talk pregame, halftime. You talked about
- 14:16Speaker 9: play style and physicality, and you wanted it to show
- 14:19Speaker 9: up in every term, offense, defense, and special teams. So
- 14:22Speaker 9: when you looked at it field level, did you see
- 14:24Speaker 9: what you wanted from your squad?
- 14:25Speaker 5: Yeah, they were violent. That's for sure.
- 14:27Speaker 12: Was it always clean?
- 14:28Speaker 11: Nah.
- 14:29Speaker 4: I don't think so.
- 14:29Speaker 12: I mean, we had a lot more self-inflicted wounds than
- 14:33Speaker 12: we've had over the previous three games. That felt a
- 14:37Speaker 12: little bit like last year in ways, right, where there
- 14:39Speaker 12: was like momentum, good things, and then go backwards. Had
- 14:42Speaker 12: two touchdowns called back for penalties. But I do think
- 14:47Speaker 12: the violence and the physicality showed up to be able
- 14:49Speaker 12: to run it for 111 and then run for 23.
- 14:51Speaker 12: I think it tells you some of the story right there.
- 14:54Speaker 5: And thinking about that, we talked about being able to
- 14:55Speaker 5: run it.
- 14:55Speaker 9: 33, Beja Tootin, Chris Rodriguez, you talked about these guys
- 14:59Speaker 9: having complimentary roles and being able to get it done.
- 15:01Speaker 5: Against a very formidable front. That's right. They were able
- 15:03Speaker 5: to run the ball successfully inside and outside. That's right.
- 15:06Speaker 12: That was a huge point, obviously. They have revamped their
- 15:09Speaker 12: defensive line. Going into the game, we knew that their
- 15:13Speaker 12: defense was much improved from last year at both the
- 15:16Speaker 12: first and second level, really.
- 15:19Speaker 5: You know, it's hard.
- 15:21Speaker 4: I mean, Dexter Leonard– They're physical.
- 15:23Speaker 12: They're huge. I thought we did a nice job moving
- 15:27Speaker 12: the line of scrimmage at times, going that way. And
- 15:31Speaker 12: to have the backs, I thought, like you said, Buck,
- 15:32Speaker 12: they ran hard. They ran physical. They broke tackles. They
- 15:36Speaker 12: got some hard yards. We weren't able to bust one,
- 15:40Speaker 12: but I was proud of the way those guys ran
- 15:42Speaker 12: it today.
- 15:43Speaker 9: You know, every coach wants the game to be pretty
- 15:45Speaker 9: and clean and those things. But a lot of times,
- 15:47Speaker 9: winning is determined by your poise and your playmaking ability.
- 15:50Speaker 9: In the fourth quarter, when the game was kind of
- 15:51Speaker 9: getting hairy, you had a bunch of young guys on
- 15:53Speaker 9: there who appeared to play really, really well. What went
- 15:56Speaker 9: into them being ready to play at that level?
- 15:59Speaker 12: Yeah, I think practice, preparation equals game reality in so
- 16:02Speaker 12: many ways for those guys, right? Where they get a
- 16:04Speaker 12: ton of reps throughout the week.
- 16:06Speaker 5: They get a ton of.
- 16:06Speaker 12: Jog through reps, walk through reps, extra work with their
- 16:09Speaker 12: coaches on a regular basis. And, look, I thought Campy
- 16:13Speaker 12: did a nice job of calling it with, you know,
- 16:15Speaker 12: Rayon in mind and some of those younger guys that
- 16:17Speaker 12: were obviously able to go out there and make plays
- 16:19Speaker 12: for us.
- 16:23Speaker 4: Brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association. Benefits
- 16:27Speaker 4: for federal employees and retirees. Brian Sexton, Mark Duffner, Mike Dempsey,
- 16:32Speaker 4: and Fred Taylor with you from the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville.
- 16:37Speaker 4: And we are awaiting... Trevor Lawrence, who will be at
- 16:42Speaker 4: the podium, and we'll drop in and grab a little
- 16:44Speaker 4: bit of that. I'll tell you, before we go back
- 16:46Speaker 4: to the conversation and get Fred involved here, when the
- 16:48Speaker 4: Jaguars bring home the W, you win a free Whataburger.
- 16:52Speaker 4: Check it out, folks, whataburger.com. 22-17, Jaguars win it today
- 16:57Speaker 4: in Cincinnati, and Fred, now we'll come back and make
- 17:01Speaker 4: sure we've got you. I think we were hit by lightning,
- 17:03Speaker 4: but we're back on the air.
- 17:06Speaker 7: No, we're all good to go. What I was going
- 17:08Speaker 7: to say briefly there, Brian, was... I think you started
- 17:11Speaker 7: asking me about the Jaguars being 3-1. Back in the
- 17:14Speaker 7: day when we had 16 games, we used to try
- 17:17Speaker 7: to win each quarter. If we can take this quarter
- 17:20Speaker 7: and look at it, it would be a success. And
- 17:23Speaker 7: then you kind of move forward, especially with the teams
- 17:26Speaker 7: that you have coming up. Of course, they will not
- 17:29Speaker 7: be playing in Jacksonville in another three weeks or so,
- 17:32Speaker 7: and then you have a bye. But if you look
- 17:34Speaker 7: at the teams that they have up next, starting with
- 17:37Speaker 7: the Eagles who lost today, And then the Texans, who
- 17:41Speaker 7: also lost, they're on the other end of the spectrum
- 17:43Speaker 7: at 0-4. But, again, a year ago they started 0-3,
- 17:47Speaker 7: and they were able to bounce.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Back to make the playoffs.
- 17:50Speaker 7: So, yeah, I think you take this, enjoy it, but
- 17:54Speaker 7: also understand that you're a player away or so from
- 17:58Speaker 7: losing it due to self-inflicted injuries. But I like the aggression,
- 18:01Speaker 7: as Coach Cohen mentioned there. But you have to play
- 18:05Speaker 7: smarter in these situations. So, again, enjoy this win by
- 18:09Speaker 7: every single mean because it could have been the other way.
- 18:12Speaker 7: But just understand that you have another one and a decent,
- 18:16Speaker 7: I won't call them a great Philly team, but a
- 18:17Speaker 7: decent Philly team who I believe they can beat.
- 18:20Speaker 4: All right, so I'll throw this out to anybody who
- 18:21Speaker 4: wants to jump in. Coach, how do you handle 13 penalties?
- 18:25Speaker 4: I mean, some of them, obviously, the Jaguars earned. Some
- 18:28Speaker 4: of them may be ticky-tack.
- 18:30Speaker 5: Oh, you know what?
- 18:31Speaker 4: Let's go hear from Foya Aluokun, who has just joined
- 18:33Speaker 4: the podium in Cincinnati.
- 18:39Speaker 13: It's a little bit of a mindset and going into
- 18:42Speaker 13: our second year with the same coordinator, we kind of
- 18:44Speaker 13: know the red zone beaters that we're going to face
- 18:47Speaker 13: each week. So, you know, going into practice, you practice
- 18:50Speaker 13: basically a certain amount of routes. And when they kind
- 18:52Speaker 13: of give you that look, you know what to expect.
- 18:55Speaker 13: So first they stop the run, make them get to
- 18:57Speaker 13: these throw throwing downs. And then when they do give
- 18:59Speaker 13: you these routes, be able to match them. So we
- 19:02Speaker 13: executed our, our, our leverages and our help and everything.
- 19:06Speaker 13: And really, you know, we was on the matches and
- 19:08Speaker 13: the ball was thrown to me. So I was very
- 19:10Speaker 13: excited to catch it.
- 19:15Speaker 14: How was it just today?
- 19:24Speaker 4: Just to be able to.
- 19:25Speaker 14: Come in here after last season, especially be able to
- 19:27Speaker 14: come in here and get the.
- 19:28Speaker 15: W after last season here. Uh, it was definitely very, uh, fun.
- 19:34Speaker 13: Um, I wouldn't really say like redemption, but we saw
- 19:36Speaker 13: ourself in the same kind of scenario on the field,
- 19:39Speaker 13: didn't get the job done.
- 19:40Speaker 15: So just be able to get the job done this time.
- 19:41Speaker 13: You know, that's what we're supposed to do, execute and
- 19:44Speaker 13: close the game out. You know, we definitely relied on,
- 19:46Speaker 13: you know, Rayon made a big play to come and
- 19:48Speaker 13: finish the game. We can be even cleaner going all
- 19:50Speaker 13: the way through so they don't march it down that way.
- 19:52Speaker 13: So I'm just excited to get that win. Keep putting
- 19:55Speaker 13: us in these positions.
- 19:56Speaker 15: Find a way to win. That's a mark of a
- 19:57Speaker 15: good team. So it's good to get that done.
- 19:59Speaker 14: What do you think it says about the team? I mean,
- 20:02Speaker 14: I think it was like 125 yards of penalty. But
- 20:04Speaker 14: to be able to come out with the win.
- 20:06Speaker 2: Overcome that adversity.
- 20:07Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, something– And I've been coached for a
- 20:11Speaker 13: long time, gritty, not pretty. Like, whatever it looks like,
- 20:13Speaker 13: spot the ball again and keep playing. So, you know,
- 20:16Speaker 13: penalties happen in the game. We have to clean that
- 20:17Speaker 13: up ourselves. But penalties happen, like, nothing to hang our
- 20:21Speaker 13: head about. We get another opportunity to go out there
- 20:22Speaker 13: and make the right play. I think offense did a
- 20:24Speaker 13: good job of that. Defense did a good job of that,
- 20:26Speaker 13: coming out, squashing the drive eventually. But we can be cleaner,
- 20:30Speaker 13: like I said, and get off the field faster, extend
- 20:32Speaker 13: drives even better.
- 20:34Speaker 4: Gritty, not pretty. Coach Mark Duffner, you said finish was
- 20:38Speaker 4: your key when we did our if segment way back
- 20:41Speaker 4: in the Countdown to Kickoff show before the game. And
- 20:45Speaker 4: that's exactly what happened.
- 20:46Speaker 6: Praise God they did. Let me say this to you.
- 20:48Speaker 6: We felt like this was going to be a 60-minute game.
- 20:50Speaker 6: They always, basically, always are. We talk about playing for
- 20:54Speaker 6: four quarters, winning the fourth quarter, playing for 60 minutes.
- 20:57Speaker 6: But against a team like Cincinnati right now that's got
- 21:00Speaker 6: Joe Burrow at the command, you saw what happened. That
- 21:03Speaker 6: went down to the very end. Our guys stood up
- 21:06Speaker 6: and made plays. I like what Foye just said. Preparation wins.
- 21:10Speaker 6: He was aware of the play in the red zone,
- 21:12Speaker 6: made it when we had to make it. wins, I'm
- 21:15Speaker 6: big-time high on him.
- 21:17Speaker 4: Jarrion Jones, Foya Iluokun, Ray Online all had seven tackles today.
- 21:21Speaker 4: Iluokun steps to the top with the interception, which was
- 21:23Speaker 4: huge in the red zone. And the Jaguars win it 22-17.
- 21:26Speaker 4: We've got much more ahead here on Jaguars Postgame. We'll
- 21:29Speaker 4: come back to the Hyundai Studios after this on Jaguars Radio.
- 21:35Speaker 4: PRI Productions is the official event production company of the Jaguars.
- 21:39Speaker 4: They have everything you need to do. bring your next
- 21:43Speaker 4: idea to life, visit priproductions.com. Brian, Mike. Duff, Fred, here
- 21:50Speaker 4: with you from the Hyundai Studios inside the Miller Electric Center.
- 21:52Speaker 4: The Jaguars win it in Cincinnati today, 22-17, move to
- 21:56Speaker 4: 3-1 on the season. We've talked a little bit about
- 22:00Speaker 4: what that means from the locker room's perspective. How about
- 22:02Speaker 4: the standings, Mike? What did this do today in conjunction
- 22:05Speaker 4: with some other scores around the league?
- 22:06Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, the AFC is shaping up after
- 22:09Speaker 3: a month into the season that the Jags are right
- 22:11Speaker 3: there in the mix at the top. You've got the
- 22:13Speaker 3: two undefeated teams remaining playing each other Right now, the
- 22:16Speaker 3: Raiders are up. Well, actually, I think Kansas City just
- 22:19Speaker 3: tied it at seven. But they're each 3-0. So, barring
- 22:22Speaker 3: a tie, one of those teams will be 4-0. And
- 22:25Speaker 3: the other one will be in a tie with the
- 22:26Speaker 3: Jags with a 3-1 record. No other undefeated teams. Cleveland
- 22:30Speaker 3: is tied with Baltimore for the best record in the
- 22:32Speaker 3: AFC North. You've got to head-to-head against them. You've got
- 22:34Speaker 3: a head-to-head against Cincinnati. The Buffalo Bills lost to New England,
- 22:38Speaker 3: so based on common opponents, you'd kind of be ahead
- 22:41Speaker 3: of them. There's a long way to go on that
- 22:43Speaker 3: kind of thing. But remember last year, if the Jags
- 22:45Speaker 3: had beaten Cincinnati... they would have been the number one
- 22:48Speaker 3: seed in the AFC. So these games matter early on, Coach.
- 22:52Speaker 3: You know, you come back and the playoff path would
- 22:54Speaker 3: have been different. It would not have been the Buffalo
- 22:56Speaker 3: Bills coming here. And the Jags would have been at
- 22:58Speaker 3: home all throughout as far as they would have gone
- 23:00Speaker 3: in the playoffs. So, I mean, look, this is a
- 23:03Speaker 3: good one to get on the road. There's a lot
- 23:06Speaker 3: of things to clean up when Joe Burrow can throw
- 23:09Speaker 3: for 428 without Jamar Chase for over half the game,
- 23:12Speaker 3: without T. Higgins for key stretches in the fourth quarter.
- 23:15Speaker 3: But you get the win and you come home and
- 23:17Speaker 3: you worry about correcting those mistakes with a 3-1 record.
- 23:21Speaker 6: Yeah, a lot easier to correct those mistakes when you
- 23:24Speaker 6: come home with a win. There's no question about it. And, again,
- 23:26Speaker 6: you've got to stack these wins up at every moment,
- 23:29Speaker 6: at every turn of the season right now. We can't
- 23:31Speaker 6: give any snaps, any games away. Everything's critical as you're
- 23:35Speaker 6: building momentum to finish the season and get in the playoffs.
- 23:39Speaker 4: Fred, do you want to weigh in on this one?
- 23:41Speaker 7: I totally agree with Mike. I think it was a
- 23:44Speaker 7: great recap. He hit it right on the head. That
- 23:47Speaker 7: game was a big game, even more so, you know,
- 23:50Speaker 7: to allow Jake Browning to come in the game and
- 23:52Speaker 7: kind of do a number on you. That just made
- 23:54Speaker 7: it that much bigger. But again, just echoing Foye, you
- 23:59Speaker 7: got to enjoy this one. Like it's football. You take
- 24:01Speaker 7: your hits and you keep on coming back until you
- 24:04Speaker 7: find a way to get it. And that is the
- 24:06Speaker 7: sign of a good team when you're sort of beating
- 24:09Speaker 7: up or you're battling through adversities, it does lead to frustrations.
- 24:14Speaker 7: But if you can find a way to dig yourself
- 24:15Speaker 7: out of these holes and win those games that you
- 24:19Speaker 7: can look back on later and say, you know what,
- 24:21Speaker 7: if we didn't win that one, if we didn't dig
- 24:23Speaker 7: deep and win that one, we wouldn't be in this position.
- 24:25Speaker 2: So, you know, it all matters at the end of
- 24:28Speaker 2: the day.
- 24:28Speaker 7: So again, and I've echoed this or said it maybe
- 24:31Speaker 7: four times in this since we've been in post game
- 24:35Speaker 7: so much, enjoy this win guys. You have to enjoy
- 24:38Speaker 7: the fans. I know they enjoy it. They don't care.
- 24:40Speaker 7: On to the next one. And the next one will
- 24:43Speaker 7: be across the pond. Looking forward to that one.
- 24:45Speaker 4: All right, let's go to the podium at Paycor Stadium
- 24:47Speaker 4: where Trevor Lawrence is addressing the media.
- 24:51Speaker 14: I think there was 13 penalties. You guys came into
- 24:53Speaker 14: the game with 15 overall. So just to be able
- 24:55Speaker 14: to overcome something like that, what does it say?
- 24:59Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, it was pretty insane just the whole day.
- 25:03Speaker 11: Penalties just all around. I think both teams, obviously, it
- 25:05Speaker 11: was just– insane how many penalties were out there. So
- 25:09Speaker 11: I think for us to be able to stay in it,
- 25:11Speaker 11: stay poised, obviously there's penalties and stuff that we have
- 25:13Speaker 11: to clean up and go and look at, and we've
- 25:16Speaker 11: got to be sharper, but for us to just keep
- 25:18Speaker 11: playing the next play on both sides of the ball,
- 25:20Speaker 11: I think it was a good example of that, and
- 25:21Speaker 11: just stay in it and make the next play.
- 25:24Speaker 14: To see someone like Brian Thomas come in there, get
- 25:26Speaker 14: the touchdown, I know there's a bunch of narratives out there.
- 25:28Speaker 2: About him, but to see him kind of stay the course,
- 25:30Speaker 2: what does it mean about him as a player?
- 25:32Speaker 11: Yeah, I think it's just, you know, for us, that's
- 25:35Speaker 11: not something that we think about at all. And that
- 25:37Speaker 11: guy comes to work every day. Uh, we continue to work.
- 25:40Speaker 11: I think he's, he's been awesome. Obviously every game, every,
- 25:44Speaker 11: every year there, I mean, there's plays everybody wants back.
- 25:46Speaker 11: I mean, there's a play that I think everybody, they'll
- 25:48Speaker 11: probably ask me about at some point, you know, I
- 25:49Speaker 11: went back from today and missed the throw to Brenton. And, um,
- 25:52Speaker 11: you know, so that's the case for everybody. And I
- 25:54Speaker 11: think that for whatever reason, that's been a big topic conversation.
- 25:58Speaker 11: And I got so much faith in that guy and
- 26:00Speaker 11: he comes to work and happy to see obviously him
- 26:02Speaker 11: score and, I know there's so much more still that
- 26:05Speaker 11: he brings to the table that we've got to bring
- 26:06Speaker 11: out of him. As a quarterback, that's my job. Our
- 26:09Speaker 11: job is in offense and getting him involved. There's so
- 26:13Speaker 11: many things that he can do. A lot of our
- 26:14Speaker 11: guys are really different and bring a lot to the table.
- 26:16Speaker 11: I'm excited just to get them more involved.
- 26:18Speaker 6: How satisfying is it since it was a storyline coming
- 26:21Speaker 6: in that we never beat Cincinnati, but also you got
- 26:25Speaker 6: your first win against Burrow?
- 26:27Speaker 12: Yeah.
- 26:28Speaker 2: Felt good.
- 26:29Speaker 11: I mean, obviously we've had some, you look at all
- 26:30Speaker 11: the different games we've played and they all went about
- 26:33Speaker 11: like today went, you know, but except for we were
- 26:35Speaker 11: on the other end of it. So just a big
- 26:36Speaker 11: win for our team. Feels good to beat those guys,
- 26:39Speaker 11: but just feels good because it was the next one
- 26:40Speaker 11: and we were able to get another win and keep
- 26:42Speaker 11: it rolling and have to win a tough game, tough environment.
- 26:44Speaker 11: Like I said, you know, it's a good win for us.
- 26:47Speaker 3: All right.
- 26:47Speaker 4: And we'll take a break in return with more Jaguars
- 26:49Speaker 4: post game from the Hyundai studios inside the Miller Electric Center.
- 26:53Speaker 4: The Jaguars win at 22 to 17 and are three
- 26:56Speaker 4: and one after four games. on the 2026 season. We'll
- 26:59Speaker 4: return after this on the Jaguars Radio Network. All right,
- 27:04Speaker 4: let's take a look at the stats from today's game.
- 27:06Speaker 4: It's an Everbank stats check brought to you by Everbank.
- 27:10Speaker 4: And Mike, when you look at the numbers today, let's
- 27:12Speaker 4: start with the team numbers. The Jaguars 323 yards of offense,
- 27:17Speaker 4: 111 on the ground, 212 from the quarterback in the
- 27:20Speaker 4: passing game. The big number 13 penalties for 125 yards.
- 27:25Speaker 4: Looking across the way at the Bengals, 437 yards of offense,
- 27:30Speaker 4: 23 on the ground. Bottom five all time against the Jaguars.
- 27:37Speaker 4: 414 from Joe Burrow, 11 penalties for 108 yards, plus
- 27:41Speaker 4: two turnovers. And the Jaguars, it was time of possession
- 27:45Speaker 4: was almost dead even. So more offense by the Bengals,
- 27:51Speaker 4: but the Jaguars, as they've done a lot this season,
- 27:54Speaker 4: they've bent a little bit. but then they've taken the
- 27:56Speaker 4: ball away and they did it twice, and the Jaguars
- 27:58Speaker 4: did that to great effect.
- 27:59Speaker 3: Jags won the most important offensive stat, which is points today, 22-17.
- 28:04Speaker 3: But Trevor Lawrence had an efficient day. He was 18-23
- 28:07Speaker 3: throwing the ball. For those 227 with the one touchdown average,
- 28:11Speaker 3: 9.9 yards per attempt, which is getting the ball downfield,
- 28:16Speaker 3: was sacked four times, had a passer rating of 122.3.
- 28:20Speaker 3: Burrow on the other side needed to throw 54 times.
- 28:22Speaker 3: He did complete 39 of them, though. For 428, a touchdown,
- 28:26Speaker 3: those two interceptions, as we talked about, Jags able to
- 28:28Speaker 3: sack Burrow twice. He had a passer rating of 86.
- 28:31Speaker 3: 17 for 73. Chris Rodriguez, 6 for 35. Those 6
- 28:36Speaker 3: for 35, 12 more than Cincinnati managed altogether as a team.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Chase Brown carried it nine times for only 10 yards.
- 28:44Speaker 3: I think he had one carry in the second half,
- 28:46Speaker 3: but they kind of used the short passes to him.
- 28:48Speaker 3: He was 11-11 on balls. He was targeted on catching.
- 28:52Speaker 3: for 71 yards. That was kind of the extension of
- 28:54Speaker 3: the running game. But Brenton Strange, you talked about him
- 28:56Speaker 3: in the pregame, Brian. He was big. Seven grabs, 98 yards.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Trevor talked about missing him on that shot downfield. It
- 29:03Speaker 3: could have put him well over 100 yards, and that
- 29:05Speaker 3: could have sealed the game right there. Spread it around. Otherwise,
- 29:08Speaker 3: two catches each for Josh Cameron, Basil Tootin, Brian Thomas Jr.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Three grabs for Jacoby Myers for 33. Parker Washington, only
- 29:15Speaker 3: one catch on the day. He also had a run
- 29:17Speaker 3: of three yards. So 10 yards out of your leading receiver,
- 29:20Speaker 3: you still were able to go on the road and win. Defensively,
- 29:23Speaker 3: Ray Lane had eight total stops, including six solos. Jarrion Jones,
- 29:28Speaker 3: seven solo tackles. Foye, seven combined. And three pass breakups
- 29:34Speaker 3: for Jari and a couple of pass breakups for For
- 29:37Speaker 3: Travis Hunter as well, the interceptions coming from Jordan Lewis
- 29:41Speaker 3: and Foye Oluokun. And Cam Little, perfect kicking today, including
- 29:45Speaker 3: two from over 50 yards, three of three on his
- 29:48Speaker 3: field goals, and provided 10 points.
- 29:50Speaker 4: All right, there you have it, an Everbank Stats Check
- 29:52Speaker 4: brought to you by Everbank Advantage U. Let's take a break.
- 29:54Speaker 4: We'll come back and get Fred and Mark to weigh
- 29:57Speaker 4: in on those numbers, plus Jaguars Radio Network player of
- 30:00Speaker 4: the game voting. All that is straight ahead after this
- 30:03Speaker 4: timeout on Jaguars Radio. The Jaguars postgame is brought to
- 30:09Speaker 4: you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association, benefits for federal
- 30:13Speaker 4: employees and retirees. Brian Sexton sitting next to Mike Dempsey
- 30:18Speaker 4: and across the table from Mark Duffner and connecting with
- 30:22Speaker 4: Fred Taylor via the magic of modern technology. Let's talk
- 30:26Speaker 4: about Jaguars Radio Network player of the game voting here
- 30:30Speaker 4: to start this segment. All of us get a vote.
- 30:34Speaker 3: Except for Fred. Yeah, vote and a half.
- 30:36Speaker 5: Absolutely.
- 30:37Speaker 4: So start us off. Mark Duffner. I'm going to have
- 30:40Speaker 4: to lean.
- 30:40Speaker 6: I think it's tight between Brenton Strange and Basial Tootin,
- 30:45Speaker 6: but I'm going to kind of go with Basial Tootin.
- 30:47Speaker 6: I just thought that, geez, he had numerous hard runs,
- 30:51Speaker 6: big runs for us, big plays. I was sure pulling
- 30:54Speaker 6: for him to get that touchdown that he had that
- 30:56Speaker 6: got called back by penalty, but I'm going to go
- 30:59Speaker 6: with Basial.
- 31:00Speaker 4: Mike Dempsey.
- 31:01Speaker 3: Uh, Bejel can blame his teammates who were busy holding
- 31:05Speaker 3: or whatever he was doing for not getting my vote today.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Cause he could have clearly been the runaway winner of this.
- 31:10Speaker 3: I'm going with Brenton strange who you mentioned there. I mean,
- 31:13Speaker 3: cause he does impact the running game as well. And
- 31:16Speaker 3: he was clearly the favorite target for Trevor Lawrence. No
- 31:19Speaker 3: other player had more than four balls thrown their way.
- 31:21Speaker 3: He had eight today and Trevor missed him on what
- 31:24Speaker 3: would have been the biggest play for but he still
- 31:26Speaker 3: managed to bring in seven of his eight targets. He's
- 31:28Speaker 3: the only one they didn't connect on. For 95 yards,
- 31:31Speaker 3: he was the major piece of the passing game.
- 31:34Speaker 4: I thought so, too, especially in the second half. So
- 31:35Speaker 4: he gets my vote. So now it's 2-1, and we
- 31:39Speaker 4: send it to the greatest running back in Jaguars history,
- 31:42Speaker 4: Fred Taylor, to weigh in on this. The tight end,
- 31:44Speaker 4: the running back, who do you say?
- 31:47Speaker 7: You know what? I like to show the running back love,
- 31:49Speaker 7: but I'm not going to go there. He did play
- 31:51Speaker 7: a very solid game. Can't wait to see him go
- 31:53Speaker 7: over 100. I do want to give love to Trevor Lawrence.
- 31:59Speaker 7: 18 of 23, 227 yards passing, almost an 80-yard completion
- 32:03Speaker 7: rate at a rating of 122.
- 32:06Speaker 2: Pressured eight times, sacked four of those.
- 32:09Speaker 7: So even in the face of pressure, he still was
- 32:11Speaker 7: able to complete a ton of passes and spread the
- 32:15Speaker 7: ball around. But I'm going to agree with you guys, man,
- 32:18Speaker 7: and give it to one of my favorite players on
- 32:20Speaker 7: the team in Brenton Strange simply because of what he
- 32:23Speaker 7: brings to the table. He's very physical. He's a guy
- 32:27Speaker 7: who catches the ball well. But what I'm most impressed
- 32:30Speaker 7: by right here is looking at these stats. His yards
- 32:33Speaker 7: after catch, 56 yards after catch on those seven receptions,
- 32:38Speaker 7: 95 yards, man. It just shows how hard he plays,
- 32:42Speaker 7: how physical he is, and what he did during the
- 32:44Speaker 7: run game. So you have to be able to do
- 32:46Speaker 7: everything on the field, and he does that. So I'll
- 32:49Speaker 7: give him the nod and vote alongside you guys.
- 32:52Speaker 4: And so Brenton Strange is the Jaguars Radio Network Player
- 32:56Speaker 4: of the Game in the Jaguars 22-17 win in Cincinnati today.
- 33:00Speaker 4: We'll take a break when we return. We'll take a
- 33:02Speaker 4: look at the UF Health Injury Report. You're listening to
- 33:05Speaker 4: Jaguars Postgame on Jaguars Radio. And welcome back to Jaguars
- 33:10Speaker 4: Post Game presented by GEHA. Brian, Mike, and Mark from
- 33:14Speaker 4: the Hyundai Studios in Jacksonville and from the Taylor Estate
- 33:18Speaker 4: in South Florida. Fred Taylor joins us. How about an
- 33:21Speaker 4: injury report brought to you by UF Health, the official
- 33:23Speaker 4: healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars. Three guys I know
- 33:26Speaker 4: for sure. Stepped out at one point. Eric Murray and
- 33:30Speaker 4: Caleb Ransaw did not return. For Murray, it was ruled
- 33:32Speaker 4: a concussion, and he did not come back. Ransaw left
- 33:35Speaker 4: the game early with a knee, and he did not
- 33:37Speaker 4: come back. Basial Toot and Fred left the ball game,
- 33:40Speaker 4: but he did come back, and we saw him. Looked
- 33:42Speaker 4: like he was pointing to his left ankle when talking
- 33:45Speaker 4: to the medical training staff.
- 33:47Speaker 7: Yeah, he was pointing to his ankle, but, you know,
- 33:50Speaker 7: that was earlier in the game. He came back and
- 33:52Speaker 7: had a scamper down him. what on television looked like
- 33:55Speaker 7: it was the right sideline. It doesn't matter if you're
- 33:58Speaker 7: at the game or at home. The right is right, right?
- 34:00Speaker 8: Right.
- 34:01Speaker 2: But he looked as fast as he had been running
- 34:04Speaker 2: all game, so I just think it's something minor.
- 34:06Speaker 4: So the Jaguars are going to have to look at
- 34:07Speaker 4: that safety position depending on if Eric Murray can clear
- 34:10Speaker 4: the concussion protocol before they go to London.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Yeah, and look ahead to next week and look at
- 34:14Speaker 3: what Philadelphia is dealing with on the injury report. Devontae Smith,
- 34:18Speaker 3: hamstring injury, they're saying two to three weeks. That would
- 34:20Speaker 3: take him out next week. Dallas Goddard didn't play today
- 34:23Speaker 3: with a knee injury for the second straight week. I
- 34:25Speaker 3: don't know what his availability will be, but Saquon Barkley
- 34:29Speaker 3: left the game with a hamstring injury and never returned today.
- 34:32Speaker 3: So you might be talking about the top two playmakers,
- 34:35Speaker 3: maybe the top three for Jalen Hurts not being available
- 34:38Speaker 3: for the Eagles next week.
- 34:39Speaker 11: Wow.
- 34:40Speaker 2: Mike, I want to add to that.
- 34:42Speaker 7: I think I saw Tank Bigsby sort of limping out
- 34:46Speaker 7: late in the game too. So that's also something to
- 34:48Speaker 7: look at.
- 34:49Speaker 3: There you go.
- 34:50Speaker 4: That game is an early kickoff, a 9.30 kickoff local
- 34:53Speaker 4: time from Tottenham Stadium in London next week, and then
- 34:56Speaker 4: two weeks from today, the Jaguars will host the Houston Texans,
- 35:01Speaker 4: who lost their fourth consecutive game to begin the season.
- 35:04Speaker 4: Still a talented ball club. I wouldn't go too far
- 35:07Speaker 4: down that road, but they are desperate. Absolutely.
- 35:11Speaker 6: But again, right now, this league, the way it's going,
- 35:13Speaker 6: it's week to week. You see games like Again, we
- 35:16Speaker 6: beat New England last week. New England comes back, beats
- 35:18Speaker 6: Buffalo this week. Week to week, man, got to beat
- 35:21Speaker 6: your best.
- 35:21Speaker 4: All right, let's take a break. We'll come back with
- 35:23Speaker 4: one final segment. We'll preview a little bit more of
- 35:25Speaker 4: next week and give you a thought or two to
- 35:28Speaker 4: wrap up Jaguars postgame. And for those of you listening
- 35:30Speaker 4: locally on 1010XL and 92.5 FM, hold on. The scoreboard
- 35:34Speaker 4: show will take you straight up to 6 o'clock before
- 35:36Speaker 4: we hand it off to Hacker and Crew with the
- 35:39Speaker 4: fifth quarter. Jags win, big win in Cincy, and they
- 35:42Speaker 4: are 3-1 after the 22-17 victory over Joe Burrow and
- 35:46Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals. And we're back after this on the
- 35:49Speaker 4: Jaguars Radio Network. Well, the final segment of Jaguars postgame
- 35:56Speaker 4: brought to you by GEHA, Government Employees Health Association. Jaguars,
- 36:01Speaker 4: as we mentioned, they will leave Thursday and land Friday
- 36:05Speaker 4: morning in London. They'll practice Friday. They'll have a walk
- 36:08Speaker 4: through Saturday and then they'll go to Tottenham. and take
- 36:10Speaker 4: on the Philadelphia Eagles, who lost today to the LA Rams.
- 36:14Speaker 4: They led that game 20-10 late in the second half,
- 36:17Speaker 4: but the Rams came back, Duff, and won 24-20.
- 36:19Speaker 6: Yeah, and really taking a deep dive into Philadelphia, looking
- 36:24Speaker 6: at them already, studying them a little bit, they've really
- 36:26Speaker 6: struggled offensively in the second half of games. Today, no points.
- 36:30Speaker 6: And as we get into that more this week, you'll
- 36:33Speaker 6: see why. But they're struggling right now, especially on offense
- 36:36Speaker 6: in the second half.
- 36:38Speaker 4: Thought on the AFC South, Fred. The Colts won today.
- 36:41Speaker 4: Washington had their quarterback knocked out of the bowl game.
- 36:44Speaker 4: Mariota went to the sidelines. They were already without Jaden Daniels.
- 36:49Speaker 4: They really couldn't do anything from that point forward. Colts
- 36:52Speaker 4: did just enough to win 30-17. And as we mentioned,
- 36:55Speaker 4: the Texans and the Titans both 0-4. So the Jaguars
- 36:58Speaker 4: have a one-game lead on the suddenly 2-2 Colts at
- 37:02Speaker 4: the quarter poll.
- 37:03Speaker 11: Yeah.
- 37:06Speaker 7: I think what's most important, Brian, is just to get
- 37:09Speaker 7: those wins, for the Colts to start 0-2, then to come,
- 37:13Speaker 7: you know, to play these last two and find a
- 37:15Speaker 7: way to win the game.
- 37:16Speaker 2: That's what the NFL is about.
- 37:18Speaker 7: No one's going to look at the record at the
- 37:20Speaker 7: end of the season and say, well, it should have
- 37:24Speaker 7: been this or it should have been that. You are
- 37:25Speaker 7: what you are at whatever point in the season that is.
- 37:29Speaker 7: The bottom line is find a way to win pretty, ugly,
- 37:33Speaker 7: does not matter whatsoever. get the wins, and eventually these
- 37:37Speaker 7: teams are going to have to cross paths and try
- 37:41Speaker 7: and do the same. So the Jags, again, enjoy it.
- 37:45Speaker 7: Found a way to win an ugly game by way
- 37:47Speaker 7: of penalties. Very much better team than they showed today,
- 37:52Speaker 7: but they got to continue to show that. But most importantly,
- 37:55Speaker 7: they're doing a good job of fighting through it all
- 38:00Speaker 7: with whoever's out there on the field.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Going out on a limb, on Victory Monday, you'll be
- 38:04Speaker 4: talking about penalties.
- 38:05Speaker 15: Oh, no doubt.
- 38:05Speaker 3: We'll be talking about a lot of things. Giving up
- 38:08Speaker 3: 400-plus passing yards when Jamar Chase was in the medical tent,
- 38:12Speaker 3: you know, for the majority of that. But look, again,
- 38:15Speaker 3: like Freddie said, like Coach has said, you win the
- 38:18Speaker 3: football game and you can make excuses. We thought Indy
- 38:20Speaker 3: didn't look good at all today. They're going home a winner,
- 38:23Speaker 3: coming back from one and two and two, and they're
- 38:25Speaker 3: feeling great about themselves right now. So the Jags have
- 38:27Speaker 3: a great opportunity. to really set themselves apart over the
- 38:32Speaker 3: next couple of weeks.
- 38:33Speaker 5: All right.
- 38:33Speaker 4: For Mike Dempsey and for Mark Duffner and for Fred Taylor,
- 38:36Speaker 4: I'll see you in London next week. I'm not staying
- 38:37Speaker 4: at the same ritzy place you are, but I'll see
- 38:39Speaker 4: you at Tottenham. I'll call you.
- 38:43Speaker 7: My place is not ritzy or fancy. It's just a
- 38:46Speaker 7: regular hotel.
- 38:46Speaker 5: Wherever you are.
- 38:48Speaker 4: Wherever you are.
- 38:48Speaker 2: I probably need my Marriott Bomboy points.
- 38:51Speaker 5: You never know.
- 38:52Speaker 4: Wherever you are, Fred. is the place to be, and
- 38:55Speaker 4: we appreciate you being with us here this afternoon. Our
- 38:58Speaker 4: best to your family. See you in London next week.
- 39:00Speaker 4: All right, guys.
- 39:01Speaker 2: See you in a bit.
- 39:02Speaker 4: Jaguars win it 22-17 in Cincinnati. They're 3-1, and that'll
- 39:07Speaker 4: do it for the postgame show on the Jaguars Radio Network.
