Speaker 1: Welcome to Jacks Drive Time with Ashlyn Sullims with John
0:06
Speaker 1: O'shan and Brian Sexton. Jacks Drive Time. It starts right now. Wow. Wow,
0:50
Speaker 1: that is so awesome, so much yelling up, so much screaming,
0:54
Speaker 1: and deservingly so. The Jaguars have finally won a game.
0:57
Speaker 1: And it is Monday morning Drive Time. We are talking
0:59
Speaker 1: about a win and that twenty game losing streak has snapped.
1:03
Speaker 1: And I promise we won't mention it past today, that
1:06
Speaker 1: losing streak, because how tired are we all talking about that? Yeah?
1:11
Speaker 1: I'm just personally having been here for twenty seven years. Um,
1:15
Speaker 1: that was getting really heavy to to have to discuss
1:18
Speaker 1: being in the all time, you know, vicinity of the
1:22
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay buccanc County expansion. I I was in favor
1:26
Speaker 1: of them losing last year to get the quarterback. I
1:28
Speaker 1: was in favor of them winning an opening day to
1:31
Speaker 1: not drag this streak forward. So yes, Plus I'm looking
1:33
Speaker 1: at that piece of video, John, and there are young
1:36
Speaker 1: guys like um, like James Robinson. That was only the
1:40
Speaker 1: second win he had experienced. We're midway through his second season.
1:44
Speaker 1: Davon Hamilton's the same thing Levisca Cherald. I mean, these
1:48
Speaker 1: are young guys that you're hoping our core pieces of
1:50
Speaker 1: your team going forward. And they had a drought like well,
1:54
Speaker 1: like only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the modern era
1:56
Speaker 1: had ever had. So I understand the drama and and
1:59
Speaker 1: the and the intensity of the weight of twenty losses
2:03
Speaker 1: in a row off their shoulders and was thrilled for
2:06
Speaker 1: them their reaction. I loved, Yes, they deserve it. Good
2:09
Speaker 1: for them, they worked hard, they got that feeling of winning,
2:14
Speaker 1: especially for these rookie, especially for Trevor Lawrence. Absolutely right
2:20
Speaker 1: where you're going for no, no no, no, for them, it
2:23
Speaker 1: is fantastic that they don't have to hear that anymore now.
2:27
Speaker 1: Of course, the task is to remember the goal is
2:31
Speaker 1: to win more than one. And I think it's almost good,
2:36
Speaker 1: or I think it's very good. They have a bye
2:37
Speaker 1: week because not the players falling and the coaches fall
2:40
Speaker 1: there's been built up so much that it's it's okay,
2:44
Speaker 1: we won. They need to get away for a little
2:46
Speaker 1: while and then come back and realize, now you get
2:48
Speaker 1: to win two. I'll remind you of my headline on
2:52
Speaker 1: Thursday last week, which was b y E Bye and
2:57
Speaker 1: by meaning by to the losing streak and by to
3:00
Speaker 1: the you know by I'm out of here, bye week
3:02
Speaker 1: coming up. I nailed it, you crush. But it does
3:07
Speaker 1: feel different. And I know we're not supposed to talk
3:09
Speaker 1: about that, but I think it's been so long since
3:12
Speaker 1: we've had a win here that it does feel different.
3:15
Speaker 1: It feels like it is a November December win just
3:18
Speaker 1: because it's been so long. Hold on, you're not supposed
3:20
Speaker 1: to feel like that, but you just feel feel any
3:23
Speaker 1: way that you want. And when you lose twenty in
3:24
Speaker 1: a row, which no one around the NFL has experienced
3:28
Speaker 1: unless you were with that that that Buccaneers team, right,
3:30
Speaker 1: I mean, this is it's not rarefied air, but it's
3:33
Speaker 1: you know, you don't want to be there. Not many
3:34
Speaker 1: people have. Here's the thing. Now, you enter the difficult
3:37
Speaker 1: stretch of the season. I mean you go to Seattle
3:40
Speaker 1: and come home and get Buffalo and then you get
3:42
Speaker 1: the Colts, right, and you saw what the cold stud
3:44
Speaker 1: of the Texans yesterday. They're a good team and they're
3:46
Speaker 1: going to contend that seat last night without a doubt,
3:50
Speaker 1: even without Russell Wilson. So it's good they got that one.
3:53
Speaker 1: We talked about this last week because the next couple
3:56
Speaker 1: of games, you're playing some elite teams or you have
3:59
Speaker 1: but challenge of going to Seattle, which is an elite environment. Um,
4:03
Speaker 1: buckle up, you better find a way to go play
4:05
Speaker 1: well because those teams are working towards the playoffs. And
4:08
Speaker 1: I don't want to dismiss the win. Thank goodness they
4:12
Speaker 1: got it because and I think the thing I kept
4:16
Speaker 1: saying for a month leading up to this was I
4:19
Speaker 1: really wanted this team to get that victory because this regime,
4:23
Speaker 1: this quarterback, this feeling didn't deserve the weight of twine. No, no, no,
4:28
Speaker 1: this was not a quote historically bad uh oh and
4:33
Speaker 1: five team. This was not you hate the word fault,
4:37
Speaker 1: but this was not the fault of down here. They
4:40
Speaker 1: were trying to get out from under it. So I
4:43
Speaker 1: was very glad for these guys that they did it,
4:45
Speaker 1: because I don't know what the next month will bring
4:47
Speaker 1: and it was not going to be fair to the
4:49
Speaker 1: core of this then drag out of with Hey you
4:52
Speaker 1: lost this many in a row, you're historically bad, you're
4:55
Speaker 1: the world because this wasn't that, and now they don't
4:57
Speaker 1: have to live with that. But you know, like everyone
5:00
Speaker 1: in the social media era, no one was decoupling those
5:03
Speaker 1: No one was going to take the time in a
5:04
Speaker 1: hundred and forty characters to separate. It's very different than
5:09
Speaker 1: those Buccaneers were. However, the number is all that anyone sees,
5:13
Speaker 1: and twenty was twenty and it's gone. And that's what
5:16
Speaker 1: we warned week well, I remember that was the big storyline.
5:18
Speaker 1: Is if you lose this one, boom you're attached. I
5:20
Speaker 1: have to say this, Here's what I was worried about it.
5:23
Speaker 1: I was worried about the losing continuing and them having
5:25
Speaker 1: to take the historical seven consecutive laws in Los Angeles
5:30
Speaker 1: against Jalen Ramsey. Then when it gives him the satisfaction,
5:34
Speaker 1: he would have changed his number that week to seven.
5:36
Speaker 1: Just stick it in you so, Jalen, you don't get
5:38
Speaker 1: that one because it kind of is his fault, all right.
5:44
Speaker 1: Let's get an is just when it was not pretty
5:47
Speaker 1: and oh it was not perfect, many moments in anxiety,
5:50
Speaker 1: including the game winning field goal, but it was all
5:52
Speaker 1: worth it to have that first winning locker room of
5:55
Speaker 1: the season. Always remember doing us a much. Now you're
6:04
Speaker 1: doing as fun. Always grab her hands, cleaves, time be
6:08
Speaker 1: grateful for the kids. You've got to play the play
6:10
Speaker 1: games together up there. The most human dings to walk
6:12
Speaker 1: the planet can't do it up. That's how I want
6:15
Speaker 1: so always be grateful to good to got number two.
6:18
Speaker 1: What are gonna do it? The nine oh four. We're
6:20
Speaker 1: gonna get Jack to bull Rock and we've got a
6:22
Speaker 1: great owner. We got the nine o four, our busy
6:24
Speaker 1: god with the stadium going bull ups as they We're
6:27
Speaker 1: gonna do it. Most important who you're doing with big
6:32
Speaker 1: thing too, is what a call? It is fourth and
6:35
Speaker 1: eight six seconds left in the game, and everyone is wondering,
6:38
Speaker 1: what are you gonna do right here? It looks like
6:40
Speaker 1: they're setting up for a hail Mary and said, it's
6:42
Speaker 1: the old slant kill, perfect execution and give you just
6:46
Speaker 1: enough time to make the field goal. And the quarterback says,
6:49
Speaker 1: preparation paid off. That's something we've been we've been working on.
6:53
Speaker 1: That's what you always have in did you never know
6:55
Speaker 1: at the end of the game. Um, if you have
6:56
Speaker 1: a time out, you have to know the situation. How
7:00
Speaker 1: long does it take to get down and get a
7:01
Speaker 1: time out called? And honestly, five seconds was really less
7:04
Speaker 1: than what we've needed. Um, but we're just like, I
7:07
Speaker 1: think we have a shot, we can get down quick,
7:09
Speaker 1: call it time out, and fourth and eight makes it
7:11
Speaker 1: hard because you can't get down too quick or you
7:13
Speaker 1: wanna get first down. So there was a situation that
7:16
Speaker 1: really it's hard to prepare for. But having all that,
7:20
Speaker 1: all those reps in practice of that situation of getting down,
7:23
Speaker 1: getting the first getting down, call it time out, really
7:26
Speaker 1: paid off and the guys are just ready and answers
7:28
Speaker 1: when we needed to. Big thing three is that guy
7:31
Speaker 1: tracking Trevor Lawrence. That play that he's talking about does
7:33
Speaker 1: not work if Trevor Lawrence doesn't throw a dart to
7:36
Speaker 1: Lavis because not right on target. Lawrence twenty one three
7:40
Speaker 1: d and nineteen yards made big time plays at the
7:43
Speaker 1: biggest moments of the game. And confidence is growing for
7:46
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback, I think. So, I mean it is.
7:50
Speaker 1: There's a lot of games left and we gotta keep playing.
7:52
Speaker 1: And um, just because you win one game doesn't mean
7:55
Speaker 1: you're gonna go win the rest. You gotta go to
7:57
Speaker 1: work every week and prepare and just like this game
7:59
Speaker 1: to nine and then you see how the separations so
8:02
Speaker 1: small in these games. Um, so you really just have
8:05
Speaker 1: to to go play and play a full game. And
8:08
Speaker 1: I think confidence is huge, though I don't think we've
8:11
Speaker 1: necessarily played with that confidence the first five weeks. And
8:14
Speaker 1: tonight we did. You know, we were we weren't gonna
8:16
Speaker 1: be stopped. We were like, we're gonna win this game,
8:17
Speaker 1: no matter how hard it gets, no matter what the
8:19
Speaker 1: situation is, We're gonna find a way to win. And
8:21
Speaker 1: we did. And um, that's got to be the mindset
8:23
Speaker 1: every week. And I think we're building on that. And
8:25
Speaker 1: I like where this where this team's had it they haven't.
8:28
Speaker 1: That is big things. Let's go back to the top.
8:31
Speaker 1: Big thing one is just when and we mentioned it
8:33
Speaker 1: was by far not a perfect game. There are a
8:36
Speaker 1: lot of moments of not so pretty plays, but they
8:39
Speaker 1: want and that's all that matters. It doesn't matter if
8:41
Speaker 1: it's a blowout or a winning by a field goal.
8:43
Speaker 1: But to build off of that, there were some moments
8:45
Speaker 1: that yeah, they need to improve on. Well yeah, so
8:48
Speaker 1: yes they want congratulations And now you have to look
8:51
Speaker 1: at yourself honestly, right, what is it We've been saying?
8:53
Speaker 1: You can't fool yourself so trouble in the middle of
8:56
Speaker 1: the field with the tight end again. Some of that personnel,
8:59
Speaker 1: obviously because Miles wasn't there. Some of it was probably scheme.
9:02
Speaker 1: You know, they weren't sending more than four or five
9:04
Speaker 1: guys very often because they wanted to protect against Kaseki.
9:07
Speaker 1: They know how good he is. All the penalties, I
9:09
Speaker 1: mean fifteen yards here, ten yards there at the worst
9:12
Speaker 1: most inopportune time when those two first half drives, I
9:16
Speaker 1: mean the decision how about this, how about at the
9:19
Speaker 1: two minute warning, letting the clock run down before you
9:21
Speaker 1: use your first time out to set up the punt
9:23
Speaker 1: that gives you the ball that gives you the chance
9:24
Speaker 1: to score. You've got to know going in we're gonna
9:27
Speaker 1: call time out here. We're not gonna let it run
9:28
Speaker 1: down eleven seconds before we call the time out. So
9:31
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things they've got to get better
9:33
Speaker 1: at your right, um, But in the giddiness of the win,
9:37
Speaker 1: you have to look honestly at this team and say
9:39
Speaker 1: they have a lot of improving to do. A lot. Yeah. Well,
9:44
Speaker 1: we've talked for months about fee lack of playmakers, um,
9:52
Speaker 1: and they still have a lot of adding to do
9:54
Speaker 1: on that front. But we talked about Treivor Lawrence, were
9:58
Speaker 1: we talk about them more. Why person who should be
10:01
Speaker 1: mentioned big time? They don't win that game yesterday without
10:04
Speaker 1: Labiska Chenalt h They don't get the first touchdown without
10:08
Speaker 1: Leaviska Chenalt fighting for a seven yard gain on a
10:12
Speaker 1: fourth and six in the first half. They don't get
10:14
Speaker 1: the field goal without Leaviska Chenalt getting down being very aware,
10:19
Speaker 1: very quickly. He made two big time football plays being
10:23
Speaker 1: aware of the situation. There's some guys who had just
10:25
Speaker 1: gone down a fourth and six not know where the
10:26
Speaker 1: sticks are. So um, I don't know that he's going
10:30
Speaker 1: to be twenty five yard down field guy in this offense.
10:32
Speaker 1: I don't know he's got that in him. They did
10:35
Speaker 1: a good job yesterday figuring out how to work him. Uh,
10:38
Speaker 1: Marvin Jones will be the headline receiver. But to me,
10:42
Speaker 1: Labisca Chenalda on those two plays, the football awareness, to
10:45
Speaker 1: me was very impressive. Shelta is that Domino when they
10:48
Speaker 1: get speed. You know, if they had Travis, if they
10:51
Speaker 1: had dj then Chenault doesn't have to face some of
10:54
Speaker 1: the coverages that he does. He's the number two receiver
10:56
Speaker 1: right now, and he's more dangerous than than than more
10:59
Speaker 1: of a Jones and my estimation because he is going
11:01
Speaker 1: to put his shoulder down to fight for the seventh
11:03
Speaker 1: yard on fourth down in six um. But when you
11:06
Speaker 1: get more speed in here, Labiscos Shetional gets to play
11:09
Speaker 1: to his potential, which is pretty darn high. He's just
11:12
Speaker 1: not that elite speed guy. Yeah, they are really gonna miss.
11:16
Speaker 1: After watch that game yesterday, if if they had DJ
11:20
Speaker 1: Chark playing at DJ Chark level, the receivers would feel
11:24
Speaker 1: right right now, right now, it looks like Marvin Jones
11:27
Speaker 1: is going to be the guy to make that sideline
11:29
Speaker 1: catchy not get much separation, but he's right there. He
11:32
Speaker 1: makes the catch. He makes big time catches. If they
11:34
Speaker 1: had DJ to loosen everything up, uh, but they don't.
11:38
Speaker 1: What you're saying is is that they're having to manufacture
11:40
Speaker 1: getting guys over and as opposed to when you have
11:42
Speaker 1: DJ and the safety has to go out. Now guys
11:45
Speaker 1: are just naturally able to beat their look much more
11:48
Speaker 1: easy and it definitely doesn't look easy. But are we
11:52
Speaker 1: saw in big things? Okay, Trevor Lawrence. I thought yesterday
11:56
Speaker 1: the most impressive thing about Trevor um did there of
12:00
Speaker 1: you think he was spectacular? No? But to win. That's
12:05
Speaker 1: what I wanted to see. We all know he can
12:07
Speaker 1: be spectacular. We expected he's going to make unbelievable plays.
12:11
Speaker 1: Yesterday I thought he was workman like. He did smart things.
12:14
Speaker 1: He didn't have to be great to be good, and
12:18
Speaker 1: that it's three story of games. Now with that a
12:20
Speaker 1: meaningful interception. He worked on it. He's not a turnover machine.
12:25
Speaker 1: I feel better and better about him each week, which
12:27
Speaker 1: is self evident, but still important to say. He took
12:29
Speaker 1: two sacks yesterday, that we're on him. He held the
12:32
Speaker 1: ball too long. However, his presence in the pocket for
12:35
Speaker 1: the most part was spectacular. He was willing to wait
12:39
Speaker 1: and again talk about manufacturer getting guys open. Leviska needs
12:43
Speaker 1: more time to get open. Marvin Jones need a little
12:45
Speaker 1: bit more time to develop his route. He's willing to
12:47
Speaker 1: stand in the pocket and let that happen. He's poised.
12:50
Speaker 1: He's really good for a game manager, if you will. No,
12:53
Speaker 1: that's not enough, No gardener, no, no, no, this is
12:57
Speaker 1: this is a tape again, bad ro term. We come
13:03
Speaker 1: back on Jaguars Drive Time. Some highlights from the Jaguars
13:06
Speaker 1: first win of the season here on the Jaguars Digital Network.
13:15
Speaker 1: Oh I'm in there. I'm in there, and you know,
13:17
Speaker 1: I really can't be superstisis because like he was gonna
13:20
Speaker 1: miss and he's gonna make it. So it's like if
13:22
Speaker 1: I turned my back, he miss it, he makes it,
13:24
Speaker 1: makes it. If I'm looking at him, he makes it,
13:26
Speaker 1: makes it. I turn around, he miss you know. So
13:29
Speaker 1: I'm in there. You know what I'm saying, I'm ready
13:30
Speaker 1: to storm this field. I had all my faith that
13:32
Speaker 1: he was gonna make this kid. He made the one previously,
13:35
Speaker 1: and I was like, okay, I like this. I like
13:38
Speaker 1: this chance, you know. So I had James right here
13:40
Speaker 1: and out for her. So James had a heck of
13:43
Speaker 1: the game running the ball. So I knew he was
13:45
Speaker 1: a little good look Chong the knock her hair and
13:48
Speaker 1: it's my roll dog, you know, as soon as you
13:51
Speaker 1: soon as he turns that kicking good man, it's he's
13:53
Speaker 1: just lyne dry. I just knew who were gonna go on.
13:57
Speaker 1: So I'm on that. I'm gonna feel storming and screaming
14:00
Speaker 1: the board all off, talking a little crap. He's just
14:02
Speaker 1: having a great time. Then it's felt good to get
14:04
Speaker 1: that wing, especially that you know it's the next Creations
14:08
Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. Josh Allen on the fifty three yard game
14:12
Speaker 1: winning field goal. You can see his reaction coming up
14:15
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot Com in that mic up feature car
14:18
Speaker 1: shield call them now, if your cars out of manufacturer's warrant,
14:21
Speaker 1: you don't get stuck with expensive mechanical and computer repairs.
14:24
Speaker 1: Call car shield. We're back Jaguars Drive time. It is Monday,
14:28
Speaker 1: and it is time to go through the highlights of
14:30
Speaker 1: that win over the Miami Dolphins. The first win of
14:32
Speaker 1: the season, the first victory Monday we have had in
14:35
Speaker 1: a very long time. We're not talking about the streak.
14:37
Speaker 1: We're not going to say the number any four days.
14:40
Speaker 1: There's four hundred days ago was a Monday. Yes, gosh,
14:44
Speaker 1: that was a really long time ago, really really long time,
14:46
Speaker 1: almost long time. All right, here we go, very first
14:51
Speaker 1: defensive drive. It takes forever. The Dolphins have all the
14:55
Speaker 1: time in the world to get this done. They convert
14:57
Speaker 1: three third downs in the Jaguars and you're thinking, oh no,
15:00
Speaker 1: not again. Yeah, just count the touch job a quick
15:08
Speaker 1: strike by talk, that's a sich. You caught yourself. You
15:14
Speaker 1: caught yourself just saying, gosh, this was the longest drive
15:16
Speaker 1: in the world, converting three third downs in this drive,
15:19
Speaker 1: it took forever to get them off the field. Well,
15:21
Speaker 1: do you remember when there was the controversy about the
15:24
Speaker 1: Jaguars draft board and how they had Waddle with the
15:26
Speaker 1: same grade as Trevor Lawrence and it made a big
15:28
Speaker 1: deal about that. That kid's really freaking good. He is
15:32
Speaker 1: as quick a receiver as I think I have ever seen,
15:35
Speaker 1: which gives him, with his speed, the opportunity to get open.
15:39
Speaker 1: We were talking about about guys who have to work
15:41
Speaker 1: to get open. That guy doesn't have to work to
15:43
Speaker 1: get open. He is going to be terrific. Yeah, we
15:46
Speaker 1: talked about what this team, when we cover, is going
15:49
Speaker 1: to need moving forward at can we get that? Five
15:53
Speaker 1: ten years ago I would not have said go big
15:55
Speaker 1: for wide receiver or do everything you can to get
15:58
Speaker 1: a big time guy. It feels like in this league
16:01
Speaker 1: now you're going more and more towards you need to
16:04
Speaker 1: have that, or you better have a lot around it
16:07
Speaker 1: to make up for not having that. Let's go to
16:08
Speaker 1: Tesca Lousive. They have another one of those guys. I'm
16:10
Speaker 1: sure they do all right. We're going throughout the first
16:12
Speaker 1: half Matthew Right makes the first field goal of the season,
16:15
Speaker 1: gives the Jacks three points. It is thirteen to three.
16:17
Speaker 1: The Jaguars have to score before halftime to give themselves
16:21
Speaker 1: a chance on Jacks and the glasses, Yeah, chose perfect.
16:34
Speaker 1: Good there you go with. It's thirteen to ten. And John,
16:38
Speaker 1: you mentioned he doesn't get a lot of separation on
16:40
Speaker 1: this play, but it makes a big time catch. Well,
16:43
Speaker 1: and I may have misspoke earlier, believe it or not,
16:46
Speaker 1: sometimes making mistakes, as I know you say, no, John,
16:49
Speaker 1: how can that be? But that was a spectacular throw
16:54
Speaker 1: and catch. And I just said earlier Trevor Lawrence didn't
16:56
Speaker 1: do anything about the exit. The knows. I think maybe
16:59
Speaker 1: what we're seeing is we're so used to seeing him now.
17:02
Speaker 1: If this doesn't seem unusual, Uh, that's next level stuff.
17:08
Speaker 1: So uh apologies to Marvin Jones and turb Lounge was
17:12
Speaker 1: saying they did nothing special. That was special. I think
17:15
Speaker 1: I think people who were watching understud your point. It
17:18
Speaker 1: was a very workman like effort. His numbers, everything about
17:21
Speaker 1: it says that he played well, that's what he does. Yes,
17:25
Speaker 1: he had a good game. It didn't seem unusual, it's
17:28
Speaker 1: what he can do. It's what he will do. It's
17:29
Speaker 1: what you expect. He's gonna be a lot better when
17:31
Speaker 1: they surround him with weapons. I mean, if you watch
17:33
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray all yesterday and you see the weapons they
17:36
Speaker 1: put around him, give them time to find more weapons,
17:39
Speaker 1: all right, So this is big. Get the ball last
17:41
Speaker 1: going into halftime. You score before halftime and first in
17:44
Speaker 1: the third quarter, so you have a chance to get
17:46
Speaker 1: two scores before the Dolphins even get the ball. Back's
17:50
Speaker 1: only carried seven times for two yards. They get around,
17:54
Speaker 1: don't feel the techno drop the ball. Players playing the
17:59
Speaker 1: football and not making contact directed at his opponent. His
18:02
Speaker 1: head is up. He's playing football. Yes, helmets collab, but
18:06
Speaker 1: it is both of them playing the football, notarf directed
18:08
Speaker 1: at once with Cilfick Carson. Look at the swerving run
18:11
Speaker 1: and he fumbled Robinson at the one in prob Robins.
18:23
Speaker 1: They haven't a lead seventeen thirteen Jaguars. And how about
18:27
Speaker 1: Jamal agnuel I we haven't mentioned yet, but converted to
18:30
Speaker 1: wide receiver, kind of thrown in the fire with DJ
18:32
Speaker 1: Chark's injury and one of the guys that made big
18:34
Speaker 1: highlights Ester it's I don't want to say that it's
18:39
Speaker 1: overlooked because we have talked about it, right, but it's remarkable.
18:45
Speaker 1: You hardly ever see a player go from playing defensive back,
18:48
Speaker 1: which he did, to making an impact position switches in
18:52
Speaker 1: the NFL usually peter out a credit this kid. I mean,
18:58
Speaker 1: he played very well wide received and it wasn't just
19:01
Speaker 1: a little bubble screens take advantage of his speed. He'd
19:03
Speaker 1: made plays downfield. Uh are real fine? I have more
19:06
Speaker 1: to say on him later, Slan Darryl Bubble, you know,
19:09
Speaker 1: convinced them to sign him. He knew he plays on
19:12
Speaker 1: special teams, which is obviously another draining factor for a
19:16
Speaker 1: player through the course of the game. Um, but you know,
19:18
Speaker 1: credit to them for doing and them being the head coach,
19:21
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, Brian Schottenhammer, the passing game coordinator for
19:24
Speaker 1: finding a solution to the lack of playmakers. Right, totally agree.
19:28
Speaker 1: In his fourth quarter is seen Dolphins and officially a battle.
19:33
Speaker 1: And how about this Marvin Jones becoming the most reliable
19:36
Speaker 1: target of the game. They bring five, the plis the inch,
19:41
Speaker 1: the tall Jones, Right, We'll try from fifty four to
19:48
Speaker 1: time fifty four yard or no. Still can't believe that
19:58
Speaker 1: field goal win in. Yeah, every time you watch it,
20:01
Speaker 1: you heard Kevin. I mean the minute that it it
20:04
Speaker 1: left his foot, it looked like it was going to
20:05
Speaker 1: go wide, and you can't see on TV curve like
20:08
Speaker 1: that it dropped in. I bet he's a heck of
20:10
Speaker 1: a golfer too. Oh my gosh, that is just that's crazy.
20:13
Speaker 1: I've never seen anything like that. When you win. Doing
20:17
Speaker 1: what the Jaguars did yesterday, including this play, I you
20:21
Speaker 1: know it was meant to be. Yeah, kicker Matthew writing
20:23
Speaker 1: his postgame press conference and he city walked off the
20:26
Speaker 1: field and he looked at his offensive lineman. He's like,
20:28
Speaker 1: why are you guys smiling? What's going on? Right? I
20:30
Speaker 1: made it? Love when that happens. Good for the good guys. Yes, absolutely,
20:35
Speaker 1: all right, here we go. It is a tie game.
20:37
Speaker 1: There is so much anxiety. Six seconds left. What are
20:41
Speaker 1: the Jaguars going to do? Grimma and rush? They go
20:46
Speaker 1: on the should all click caps and murder that club
20:50
Speaker 1: Filpy for women chicks and nsidens. There he goes again.
21:08
Speaker 1: I was given to him about that. Yes, Kevin's the
21:11
Speaker 1: very best, but I was I was tired of hearing
21:13
Speaker 1: it from him yesterday. This play Um, I don't know
21:17
Speaker 1: the right adjective to use it. I mean, for a
21:19
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback in his sixth NFL game to have the
21:23
Speaker 1: wherewithal to make that throw. Um, it's tremendous throw. Great
21:30
Speaker 1: play called tremendous throw. And obviously the enthusiasm of winning
21:34
Speaker 1: a game for the first time in three yea lawrence
21:37
Speaker 1: is poise impressive. And I go back and say it again.
21:40
Speaker 1: I've covered a lot of NFL players, seeing a lot
21:43
Speaker 1: of games over the years. I'm telling you not every
21:46
Speaker 1: receiver gets down gets over the the down to distance marker.
21:52
Speaker 1: If you will uh and does it in four seconds
21:55
Speaker 1: the way Leavisca did. Uh a very high level UH.
22:00
Speaker 1: Aware of football player and to make too much of
22:03
Speaker 1: that play, But overall you see him. He knows where
22:06
Speaker 1: the sticks are, he's aware, he fights for it. He's
22:09
Speaker 1: a football player. He's like a utility in fielder in baseball.
22:12
Speaker 1: How about that Joe a baseball reference who needs He's
22:15
Speaker 1: the guy who he can play anywhere you need him
22:18
Speaker 1: to play. If you line him up in the backfield
22:20
Speaker 1: and asked him to convert third or fourth and one
22:23
Speaker 1: look at the sense he could get it done. He
22:25
Speaker 1: is that guy that just does like you say, football player.
22:28
Speaker 1: He does anything and everything. He's not that DJ Chart
22:31
Speaker 1: kind of wide receiver you don't need him to be.
22:33
Speaker 1: When they drafted him, they didn't think he was gonna be.
22:35
Speaker 1: They thought he was going to be able to do
22:37
Speaker 1: it and they would give him a weapon. And I'm
22:39
Speaker 1: telling you, the minute they got speed on this team,
22:41
Speaker 1: he becomes a really difficult matchup. Totally agree. And that
22:45
Speaker 1: is highlights when we come up on the Jaguars Hardock
22:47
Speaker 1: Sports Book, Digital Network Hot takes coming up next. We're
22:59
Speaker 1: back is Monday. It is drive time and it is
23:01
Speaker 1: brought to you by car Shield and we have some
23:04
Speaker 1: hot takes for you, and they are much more positive
23:06
Speaker 1: than normal. You're welcome, You're up. Yeah, So I sat
23:08
Speaker 1: and watched the Seattle game last night. UM. I don't
23:11
Speaker 1: know how they're going to cover d KM at a cafe.
23:14
Speaker 1: They don't have a size matchup there. Um, but you
23:17
Speaker 1: know Geno Smith is gonna start. And even though the
23:20
Speaker 1: Jaguars have never even played well in uh in Seattle,
23:25
Speaker 1: were you with us in a one or you're you're
23:26
Speaker 1: an indie by that? I've only covered one Jags game
23:29
Speaker 1: in Seattle and that was yeah, And they didn't score
23:33
Speaker 1: touchdown in that game until it was thirty one nothing.
23:35
Speaker 1: So they've only ever scored one meaningful touchdown in three
23:39
Speaker 1: trips out there. So it seems a bit ridiculous to
23:41
Speaker 1: say this, but I think that what you're going to
23:43
Speaker 1: see is that the Jaguars are going to be able
23:46
Speaker 1: with the bye week to carry a little momentum the
23:48
Speaker 1: long trip. I think the Seattle game can come down
23:50
Speaker 1: to a field goal. I think it will come down
23:51
Speaker 1: to a field goal. I don't know who kicks out
23:53
Speaker 1: on who wins, but I just think the Jaguars gonna
23:55
Speaker 1: they're gonna play better football, are they? Are they capable? Sure,
23:59
Speaker 1: they're capable of finding a way to play well. Will
24:01
Speaker 1: they Who knows? But you wanted a hot take, I
24:04
Speaker 1: say that game comes down to a field goal to
24:05
Speaker 1: I like it, and it's not unreasonable. If Russell Wilson's
24:08
Speaker 1: the quarterback, maybe it's a little unrealistic, just a different
24:11
Speaker 1: ball game. I wouldn't have said that if it was. Yeah,
24:14
Speaker 1: you think, I've got thirteen days to work up to
24:16
Speaker 1: think and they're going to play well in Seattle, So
24:18
Speaker 1: I'll I just told you they never have. My hot
24:23
Speaker 1: take is you know, if I'm Darryl Bevil, I'm walking
24:27
Speaker 1: in here today Strutton Starbucks, maybe my shirts off. I'm
24:32
Speaker 1: feeling good, you know, because think about this, the day
24:35
Speaker 1: he's had, every offensive coordinator gets a ton of criticism.
24:39
Speaker 1: So that's par for the course. Yesterday he not only
24:43
Speaker 1: gets the credit for the play at the end of
24:45
Speaker 1: the game, which uh, you know, the slider kill is
24:49
Speaker 1: something that he insists they work on. My guesses he
24:52
Speaker 1: was sailing urban in the head, said hey, this is
24:54
Speaker 1: this is the place to do it. Um. But without him?
24:59
Speaker 1: Is Marvin Jones here? Probably not? Without him, Is Jamal
25:03
Speaker 1: Agnew here? Probably not? Probably not. So I'm welking and
25:05
Speaker 1: gonna have you know, and this is mainly about Marvin
25:08
Speaker 1: Jones and Jamal Agnew along with maybe Shaq Griffin. I
25:14
Speaker 1: have been and I can say the best free agent
25:17
Speaker 1: signs and franchise history, cause there's been some really good ones.
25:20
Speaker 1: But they're good free agent signings. And they're getting more
25:23
Speaker 1: out of Jamal Agnew than they thought. They're getting more
25:25
Speaker 1: on Marvin Jones, and they thought clearly they know how
25:27
Speaker 1: to fit into Bevil's scheme. Having played for him last year.
25:30
Speaker 1: So if I'm Bevil, my stock is high. I'm not
25:34
Speaker 1: I'm buying Darryl Bevil stock. How about that? All right? Wow?
25:38
Speaker 1: Just just today, Oh to change next week? We has
25:40
Speaker 1: a bad all right? Fair enough? Alright. My hot take
25:44
Speaker 1: is you're not gonna believe this. At times, I can
25:46
Speaker 1: be a little bit dramatic, and I'm being a bit
25:49
Speaker 1: dramatic on how Shock Griffin has performed this season. I'm
25:52
Speaker 1: that girl. I keep talking about his misinterceptions and he
25:55
Speaker 1: doesn't catch the ball and he doesn't get the turnovers,
25:56
Speaker 1: and why why isn't this happening? But then you you
26:00
Speaker 1: get his stats against the number one receiver on the
26:02
Speaker 1: other team. How he's taking these receivers out of the game. Like,
26:05
Speaker 1: all right, sn, he's playing really good. Yes, he's not
26:08
Speaker 1: having those big explosive interceptions. But you look at a
26:10
Speaker 1: play yesterday against the Dolphins. It's a deep ball down
26:13
Speaker 1: the sideline. It's double coverage him and ray Sean Jenkins
26:16
Speaker 1: and Jack Griffin just bats the ball down. That's his job.
26:19
Speaker 1: He's really good at it. I'm gonna chill out. He's
26:21
Speaker 1: a good football player. He's been playing fine. Yes, he's
26:25
Speaker 1: if you had a big time number one corner. On
26:30
Speaker 1: the other side, c J. Henderson had been what you
26:33
Speaker 1: sort of hoped he was going to be for this team.
26:35
Speaker 1: Chack Griffin and c J. Henderson would be a really
26:37
Speaker 1: good combination. And that's that saying Shaq can't handle that
26:40
Speaker 1: number one role. But if you packaged him with with
26:43
Speaker 1: another big time corner, then you're in good shape. And
26:47
Speaker 1: so I think he's been fine and all the criticism,
26:50
Speaker 1: and you did get criticism for for not dropping I
26:52
Speaker 1: mean not for dropping the interceptions. To me, that's gravy
26:56
Speaker 1: for a for a cornerback. Griffin Shaker and goes home
27:01
Speaker 1: to face Seattle. Um YEA be interesting to see who
27:04
Speaker 1: they met who who is an easier matchup for him
27:08
Speaker 1: right or which one is a more difficult matchup for
27:10
Speaker 1: everyone else. Kevin Lockett, who's really speedy, really quick and
27:14
Speaker 1: obviously one of the quarterbacks favorite targets. Or DK Metcalf
27:17
Speaker 1: who physically looks like Hercules. Yeah, I would just imagine, Well,
27:23
Speaker 1: Trent are sometimes producer, are sometimes producer. They're very similar.
27:27
Speaker 1: I would say Trent likes to think, so okay. Up
27:30
Speaker 1: next year on the Jaguars Hard Rock Sports Book, Digital Network.
27:33
Speaker 1: The Line of the week that's next Hard Rock Sports
27:44
Speaker 1: Book must be twenty one and physically present and Florida
27:46
Speaker 1: wager concerned about gambling, please call one D five to
27:50
Speaker 1: four seven zero zero, preventing sponsor of the Jaguars Digital Network.
27:57
Speaker 1: Speaking of hard Rock, we have a new segment here
27:59
Speaker 1: on Monday morning, Jaguars dry a time. It is called
28:02
Speaker 1: Line of the Week. We look at a big time
28:04
Speaker 1: statistic and we talk about it and we say we're
28:06
Speaker 1: gonna buy or sell this scenario going forward. It is
28:09
Speaker 1: the Line of the Week presented by hard Rock Sports Book.
28:12
Speaker 1: So here's our line of the week from yesterday's game
28:14
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. The Jaguars were oh in five on
28:17
Speaker 1: field goal attempts going in two weeks six this game
28:20
Speaker 1: against the Dolphins. The last team to do this was
28:23
Speaker 1: the nineteen sixty two Minnesota Vikings. Matthew Wright made all
28:28
Speaker 1: three field goal attempts yesterday. That's crazy when you really
28:31
Speaker 1: think about the statixis and how long this has been.
28:34
Speaker 1: So my question is are we buying or selling Matthew Right?
28:37
Speaker 1: We forget that Josh Lambo is still on this team.
28:39
Speaker 1: He was on the sidelines. Give a Matthew write a
28:41
Speaker 1: big hug after his game winning field goal. How does
28:44
Speaker 1: this kicking situation end up? I don't know whether I'm
28:48
Speaker 1: buying or selling, but I'm not changing anything because obviously
28:51
Speaker 1: the competition on the practice field and the coach deciding
28:54
Speaker 1: it isn't ideal. It isn't what you want eventually, and
28:58
Speaker 1: there are people who watching this right now down are
29:00
Speaker 1: I'll be going, what didn't Matthew Right show you yesterday
29:02
Speaker 1: that makes you think that he could be the guy?
29:04
Speaker 1: I just Lambo has got a bigger leg, and I
29:06
Speaker 1: think that lambeaus the guy. You know that if you
29:09
Speaker 1: cut him and release him, you'll stay on the kicking carousel,
29:13
Speaker 1: give him a chance to work through it, push him,
29:15
Speaker 1: and at some point make your decision. I just wouldn't
29:17
Speaker 1: change anything. Now go forward a couple more weeks. You've
29:19
Speaker 1: got the flexibility to do that this season as you're
29:22
Speaker 1: building a team not competing for a title. I wouldn't
29:26
Speaker 1: change the thing. I just leave it the way it is. Yeah,
29:28
Speaker 1: hey say this, but I agree with Brian. It's you
29:30
Speaker 1: really do need to say that. Yeah, it's a first
29:34
Speaker 1: of all, Matthew Right deserves a ton of credits. And
29:37
Speaker 1: his kickers get overlooked, oh without to make kicks, to
29:39
Speaker 1: make a fifty three yard or fifty four yard or
29:41
Speaker 1: in the last three the game, like it's the first
29:44
Speaker 1: time it's happened in NFL history. And I read that, right,
29:47
Speaker 1: read that last night. Somewhere we're calling two field goals
29:50
Speaker 1: in the final four minutes of a game from fifty
29:52
Speaker 1: yards or more. It had been a while. I mean,
29:55
Speaker 1: I happened to have covered a game where it did happen.
29:57
Speaker 1: Not Mike Vanderjack hit one to tie at the end
30:00
Speaker 1: of regulation and then one and overtime once so, but
30:03
Speaker 1: that's just the very arbitrary stat I would not let
30:08
Speaker 1: Josh Lambeau go yet because of one performance by Matthew right,
30:12
Speaker 1: but I would definitely keep giving this kid a chance.
30:14
Speaker 1: He's earned it. My only concern is it appeared that
30:17
Speaker 1: the fifty four yard ors. You know, it appears at
30:21
Speaker 1: first glance that's the high end of the range, and
30:24
Speaker 1: that's okay. Yard is not a bad range. I would
30:27
Speaker 1: just want to see it another week or two before
30:30
Speaker 1: I gave up on a on a guy in Lambeau
30:32
Speaker 1: who had been so good for four year. And I
30:34
Speaker 1: think Lamba is the guy who could stretch at the sixty.
30:36
Speaker 1: I mean, I think he's got that kind of a leg,
30:37
Speaker 1: so I just wouldn't move that. Now here's the thing.
30:39
Speaker 1: You put him on the practice squad every week. Someone
30:41
Speaker 1: could come along and take him from you. And the
30:43
Speaker 1: last thing you want is for him to go to
30:44
Speaker 1: produce for another team, because like Quincy Williams we always
30:47
Speaker 1: talk about, he would He's very hafy. I don't believe
30:50
Speaker 1: that Lambeau's career is over. So if it's not over,
30:55
Speaker 1: then you know you want to make sure that you
30:58
Speaker 1: have a better end, really more reliable. Lambo is unbelievably
31:02
Speaker 1: reliable for four years. What we don't say often enough
31:04
Speaker 1: about kickers is that there are kickers who are talents.
31:07
Speaker 1: Right this Lambo is a talented kicker, talented football player.
31:12
Speaker 1: He is in the middle of something personally, professionally, I
31:15
Speaker 1: don't know where he is not performing up to his talent.
31:18
Speaker 1: That's what sports psychology is all about, that's what coaching
31:21
Speaker 1: is all about. Don't give up on him. The final
31:23
Speaker 1: word a credit to him, because I don't think you
31:26
Speaker 1: can fake the hug. No, I don't enjoy that he
31:29
Speaker 1: had for Matthew Right in a tough spot. A credit
31:33
Speaker 1: him for that emotion because that I think, well, the
31:36
Speaker 1: daggons have obviously set up a situation that allows him
31:38
Speaker 1: to be a great teammate to Right. Totally agree. And
31:41
Speaker 1: that is our line of the week presented by hard
31:43
Speaker 1: Rock Sports Book. And that is our show, Jaguars Drive
31:45
Speaker 1: Time on a Monday morning, Stay tuned head coach Urban
31:48
Speaker 1: Meyer at three o'clock live on Jaguars dot com Live
31:51
Speaker 1: Happy Hour this afternoon. And that's it for us. We're
31:53
Speaker 1: gonna go enjoy the bye week. We will see you
31:55
Speaker 1: next week.
