[SPEAKER_00]: Jacksonville Jaguar Span's welcoming to do Vault Daily, presented by Jinjag.com, and fueled by Brass Tax Coffee.
0:05
[SPEAKER_00]: It is Sunday, September 13th.
0:06
[SPEAKER_00]: It's about 350 pm right now while we're recording.
0:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And your Jacksonville Jaguars just took down the Cleveland Browns in Jacksonville, 34 to 3 in week one of the 2026 regular season.
0:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Excuse me, 34 to 10 in week one of the regular season.
0:21
[SPEAKER_00]: The Browns got a late garbage time touchdown to Denzel Boston.
0:27
[SPEAKER_00]: This is exactly what you wanted to see if you're a Jacksonville Jaguar's fan.
0:32
[SPEAKER_00]: This is a game in which, everybody around the league was picking the Jaguars.
0:36
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no secret there.
0:37
[SPEAKER_00]: The Browns, Deshawn Watson at quarterback, nobody has any confidence that he's gonna do much outside of that.
0:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a lot of talent on the roster, but look.
0:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a lot of young talent for the most part.
0:48
[SPEAKER_00]: You have brand new starting offensive line today with Tevin Jenkins out, all five new starters, two rookies, two rookie wider severs, some talent on defensive side of the ball, but obviously you have a brand new defensive coordinators, never called plays in the NFL, brand new special teams coordinator.
1:04
[SPEAKER_00]: And we'll talk about special teams a little bit.
1:05
[SPEAKER_00]: That doesn't need to be talked about, but the Jaguars winning this game, 34 to 10, that does not even really represent.
1:14
[SPEAKER_00]: the gap between these two football teams right now.
1:17
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jack Wars could have won that game 50 to three if they wanted.
1:21
[SPEAKER_00]: They could have put up as many points as they wanted in this game.
1:25
[SPEAKER_00]: But ultimately, they decided to pull some starters in the fourth quarter and just pack it in, get some of the younger players on their roster, some more experience out there, getting them some actual in-game reps, which was great to see and we'll get into everything here, but I do really appreciate y'all tuning in.
1:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, exactly what the doctor ordered for the Jaguars here, 34 to 10 week one victory.
1:48
[SPEAKER_00]: You're not going against a very impressive opponent, obviously.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: But when you are going up against a bad opponent, this is exactly what you want to see.
1:56
[SPEAKER_00]: This is exactly the type of performance you want to see from a very good team that has Super Bowl aspirations.
2:02
[SPEAKER_00]: This is what you want to see when they go up against these types of opponents.
2:06
[SPEAKER_00]: That really look on paper pretty lifeless.
2:09
[SPEAKER_00]: And ultimately, that's how it played out.
2:13
[SPEAKER_00]: to Sean Watson.
2:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, everybody talked about his great record against the Jaguars.
2:17
[SPEAKER_00]: All that stuff.
2:18
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, not a very good day today at the office for the Sean Watson.
2:22
[SPEAKER_00]: That's for sure.
2:23
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, we'll get into everything.
2:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Really appreciate y'all being here.
2:25
[SPEAKER_00]: If you enjoy the content, please like and subscribe.
2:27
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, so hit that high button for that big Jaguars win.
2:32
[SPEAKER_00]: we will be diving deep into this matchup and there's not going to be as much to go over as there normally is over the next few days but we'll dive into it and this is just going to be kind of like, you know, off the cuff like immediate takeaways from the Jaguars win here over the Cleveland Browns.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And so as I mentioned, just Sean Watson did not play well.
2:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Now it didn't, excuse me, it didn't matter that, you know, he has a great record against
3:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The Brown's offense as a whole didn't play very well.
3:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's storming outside.
3:04
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully we don't lose any power or anything in here.
3:08
[SPEAKER_00]: But obviously not of the home studio over at a buddy's house right now.
3:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Trevor Lawrence, what a day for Trevor Lawrence.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Good integration.
3:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I'll get into that, but I do want to talk about the injuries and inactive and stuff as well.
3:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So Colvin Lannon was active and actually started the game.
3:24
[SPEAKER_00]: He played the entire first half.
3:25
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguar has got up by enough at the break that they decided to go ahead.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: and get him out of there and get Walker little in at, at, uh, at, uh, at, uh, right tackle co-van land and looks at the entire offensive line looks on.
3:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Anton Harrison, it felt like had, uh, Jared verse locked down all day, which was awesome to see.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: Um,
3:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Liquid Allen, who was also, he was actually the only questionable player.
3:49
[SPEAKER_00]: Cole Vainland and was not questionable, he didn't have a game status.
3:52
[SPEAKER_00]: He was active, he started.
3:54
[SPEAKER_00]: It's great that they were able to get Cole Vainland out there, get him back into the flow of actually playing in a game.
4:00
[SPEAKER_00]: And so it seems like moving forward, Cole Vainland and should be good to go.
4:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Liquid Allen was active, didn't really see him, but he was active, so that's good for him as well.
4:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously making progress there with the hip injury.
4:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian Thomas Jr. his shoulder injury popped up again.
4:15
[SPEAKER_00]: He did return to the game after he was questionable to return, so it seems like he should be in a decent place there, and that's kind of it for the injury front.
4:23
[SPEAKER_00]: On the inactive's, Quinn Ewers was inactive.
4:27
[SPEAKER_00]: They had elevated Nick Mullin, so that was kind of expected that Nick Mullins would be the backup.
4:32
[SPEAKER_00]: He did end up taking reps later in the game.
4:35
[SPEAKER_00]: After the Jaguar was pulled most of their starters, Jalen Husky did,
4:40
[SPEAKER_00]: did not play in this one.
4:41
[SPEAKER_00]: He was inactive, and so was Brian Thomas Jr., the rookie defense event, Daniel Falle, Laylay, Tanner Koziel, the rookie titan, and Wesley Williams, the rookie past rusher as well, defense event for the Jaguars who's a fourth round pick.
4:55
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't think that's like an indictment on any of those young players.
4:58
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just a very experience, well-rounded roster, and they went with some different players at those spots with their depth.
5:06
[SPEAKER_00]: getting into the game.
5:07
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, goodness gracious, Trevor Lawrence, have a day, 150.6 passer rating.
5:14
[SPEAKER_00]: He was making incredible throws.
5:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Some that stand out to me, obviously when you're rolling left and it feels like he has one of these every single game now, where you're rolling left, you're you're absolutely throwing across your body and you deliver a dart down the field, deep down the field, two to two kobi mires in the end zone for a touchdown.
5:33
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that was
5:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I was a thing of beauty and then how about the one to Parker Washington where he's, you know, scanning the field, layering it over multiple defenders to hit Parker Washington right on the sideline, the throw to Parker Washington that was a touchdown.
5:47
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we'll talk about Parker too.
5:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he was incredible.
5:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It didn't have to get much done later in the game, but early on Parker Washington was kind of an offensive catalyst for them, but Trevor Lawrence is 18 of 23 for 245 yards, 4 touchdowns, no interceptions, 150.6 pass a rating, only got sacked one time on the day.
6:06
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the type of performance.
6:07
[SPEAKER_00]: that, you know, for Trevor Lawrence, who finished the season incredibly hot for the Jaguars, ended up being an MVP finalist.
6:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's right back on that ballot after one game, and obviously it is against the Browns, so he's going to have to do it against tougher competition, but he put up numbers in games like this against really good teams last year too.
6:24
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not like this is just out of nowhere.
6:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So Trevor Lawrence continues the stellar play that we saw from him at the end of last season for the Jaguars.
6:33
[SPEAKER_00]: When it came to the run game, it felt like the Jaguar's offensive line was doing a good job clearing some holes, but then you also just had basal tuten was playing darn good football and he ended up 15 carries for 66 yards, but some of that a little bit later where he wasn't picking up a ton of yards early on in this game.
6:54
[SPEAKER_00]: basaltutin was unstoppable and they were rotating a lot like they were rotating Abdul and they're Chris Rodriguez they were giving you know Travis Hunter had a carry to Kobe Myers had a carry Trevor Lawrence had a couple short yardage you know had a sneak and stuff like that so like basaltutin wasn't getting super high volume but he did get 15 carries for 66 yards and he also had
7:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Catch for a 22 yard.
7:18
[SPEAKER_00]: So he had a very productive day.
7:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I think Tutan looked awesome.
7:20
[SPEAKER_00]: He was making people miss in the back Villers, making people miss in space.
7:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He was running hard, finishing runs.
7:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I think that's exactly what you want to see from a basal Tutan.
7:28
[SPEAKER_00]: And his first real start for the Jack Wars.
7:30
[SPEAKER_00]: And it did look like he was the clear starter even though they were kind of, you know.
7:36
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving the ball around it and, you know, spreading the wealth there with the rock running the ball.
7:42
[SPEAKER_00]: A mirror of Dula looked really good with it too.
7:44
[SPEAKER_00]: When he got in there, that was cool to see Chris Rodriguez was doing some more dirty work type carries.
7:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think looked quite as impressive as Tutan or Abdullah, but overall pretty good stuff there.
7:56
[SPEAKER_00]: from the Jaguars running game, they finished the game, 32 carries, 126 yards, 3.9 yards per carry.
8:03
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to get that yards per carry up, but some of the things that keep in mind is you have a quarterback sneak, obviously that's not going to be getting a ton of yards.
8:10
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a kneel down, that's obviously going for a negative yardage.
8:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think overall in the ground the Jaguars did have a very, very good day and you know, hopefully
8:20
[SPEAKER_00]: y'all locked it in with the nine point favorites over at my bookie the jag war is where I call it I said you know I'm taking the jag wars against the spread in this one at my bookie and boy Did they cover that spread in a very big way, but look my bookie's website very easy to use on desktop or mobile They've got all the NFL action you could ever want over there go check it out You've also got pretty much everything else you could be looking for in the sporting world I personally also have locked in the jag wars to make the playoffs and
8:48
[SPEAKER_00]: I told y'all yesterday, I'm picking the Jaguars to win the Super Bowl.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: That's not an overreaction to this football game.
8:53
[SPEAKER_00]: I said it yesterday.
8:54

9:21
[SPEAKER_00]: So getting back into this game, talked about the Jaguars receiver's Parker Washington looked unbelievable.
9:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Six targets, five catches, 83 yards,
9:35
[SPEAKER_00]: He, you know, puts the money sign up there after that.
9:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jaguars and Parker Washington reportedly the Jaguars offered a deal that was similar to the one that Wilson got over in Arizona three years, 75 million about 25 million per year.
9:50
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess Parker watched and thinks that he can get a little bit more than that.
9:53
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'd say based on his performance today, he might not be wrong about that.
9:56
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, Parker Washington continued exactly what you saw last year back after this season, what you saw into the off season and then into training camp.
10:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Parker Washington looks like the real deal.
10:07
[SPEAKER_00]: He is the Jaguar's number one wide receiver.
10:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I think pretty easily.
10:11
[SPEAKER_00]: There's no doubt about that in my mind, but he had a very, very good day at the office.
10:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Jacobi Myers, I mentioned, had that touchdown grab pretty quiet other than that.
10:20
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he only had two targets.
10:21
[SPEAKER_00]: He did have the carry as well.
10:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So three touches for Jacobi Myers, but when you score a touchdown and you have the offense humming the way the Jaguar has had it.
10:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, they're just spreading the ball all over the yard.
10:31
[SPEAKER_00]: You had
10:33
[SPEAKER_00]: how many different players get a catch 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 different players with a reception in this game.
10:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And so, yeah, Parker Washington looked great.
10:45
[SPEAKER_00]: Jakobi on limited opportunities looked great.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: Brian Thomas Jr. looked very good.
10:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, he did miss a little bit of time in this one with the shoulder, but he came back in.
10:53
[SPEAKER_00]: He made a couple really nice catches, three catches for 40 yards.
10:57
[SPEAKER_00]: One of them, I mean, he had to play physical kind of go back and get it a little bit with Tyson Campbell in close coverage.
11:03
[SPEAKER_00]: And the Jaguars were able to pick on Tyson Campbell, a good bit in this one overall.
11:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Britain's strange.
11:09
[SPEAKER_00]: He was targeted three times, had two catches.
11:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He did have the one drop that was disappointing, but he came back and made an incredible touchdown grab for Trevor Lawrence in the end zone,
11:23
[SPEAKER_00]: comes down with a big, big play for him.
11:25
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought he looked exactly how you would hope he would look.
11:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Basial Tutankham, I mentioned, had the 22 yard grab.
11:31
[SPEAKER_00]: How about the fact that the Jaguar's screen game was working?
11:35
[SPEAKER_00]: When is the last time we saw a game in which it felt like the Jaguar's were confident and capable with the screen game?
11:41
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that is a huge development for the Jaguar's if they were able to continue that moving forward.
11:47
[SPEAKER_00]: And how about the fact that Josh Cameron, the rookie out of Baylor, was able to get in and get himself a touchdown.
11:53
[SPEAKER_00]: That was another kind of crazy throw from Trevor Lawrence.
11:55
[SPEAKER_00]: It wasn't a super long completion, but it was threading the needle and Josh Cameron.
12:00
[SPEAKER_00]: We've talked about it here on the show before.
12:02
[SPEAKER_00]: He might have the best hands on the team, the most consistent hands on the team.
12:05
[SPEAKER_00]: Just a guy that does not let the football hit the ground.
12:08
[SPEAKER_00]: You saw that in this one for Josh Cameron.
12:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Two catches on two targets for 20 yards and a touchdown.
12:13
[SPEAKER_00]: Pretty crazy for him to be able to go get a touchdown in his rookie debut.
12:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even really expect to be seen him on the field all that much.
12:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Much less getting a touchdown for the Jaguar.
12:23
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's great for him.
12:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Nate Borkichard did get one catch for nine yards.
12:27
[SPEAKER_00]: I mentioned Travis Hunter already.
12:28
[SPEAKER_00]: He had
12:30
[SPEAKER_00]: one carry and one catch was not on the field on offense too much but did get some work in there.
12:36
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a mirror of duala also had one reception didn't get anything on it and yeah so I said 10 10 players had a catch nine players had a catch I was wrong on that but the jack wars looking at the defensive side of the ball there was a lot to be excited about it and that
12:53
[SPEAKER_00]: That's how it should be when you're playing against the Cleveland Browns.
12:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is not a very good offense.
12:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Todd Munkin is a good coach, but Deshawn Watts and not a good quarterback.
13:01
[SPEAKER_00]: The offensive line has five new players, including two rookies.
13:05
[SPEAKER_00]: The wider severs, two starting rookies.
13:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Like this is not a team that should really threaten the Jaguar's defense a whole lot.
13:13
[SPEAKER_00]: And you had FOIA Luke can come out that they were moving the ball a little bit credit to the browns on their first drive They're moving the ball a little bit, but then FOIA comes out and gets an interception That was a beautiful thing to see by FOIA.
13:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I almost got another one again Pretty soon after that, but FOIA got the interception stops the first drive ventral Miller had a punch out That Josh Heinz Allen was able to jump on and get his hands on that one for another turnover
13:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Ventral Miller led the team in tackles, he had ten total tackles, had a sack, had two tackles for loss, another quarterback hit, and of course the forced fumble there, that was awesome to see.
13:50
[SPEAKER_00]: He had a great game.
13:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I know so many people have talked about his linebacker, a potential weakness for the Jaguars.
13:55
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, you see there, the off-ball linebackers doing a really good work with foe in Ventral,
14:01
[SPEAKER_00]: In my opinion, Ben Trill's such a good run defender and he's a playmaker too.
14:07
[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb Ransog got a lot of run in this one, the second-year player who missed his entire rookie season.
14:11
[SPEAKER_00]: He was second on the team and tackles.
14:13
[SPEAKER_00]: He had six total tackles.
14:16
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you look at what the Jaguar's defensive front did.
14:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Trayvon Walker, Josh Hines Allen, they were getting it after it, absolutely getting after it.
14:23
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know, Devon Hamilton, I thought, did a great job against the run in this game,
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: Antonio Johnson was out there making some plays too, but Josh Hines Allen, how about going and getting a sack and a half tackle for loss, a couple quarterback hits, got the fumble recovery, five total tackles.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: So he was able to put up numbers that are exactly what you want to see from him, same thing with Trayvon Walker, how to sack and a half as well in this game and a past offended.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that those two guys, I
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: believe I predicted that they would lead the AFC in sacks as they do up.
15:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And they're well on their way to having its type of season that they could potentially do that here in 2026.
15:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that pretty much at every level of the defense, you pretty happy with what you saw.
15:12
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, there's going to be completions here and there.
15:14
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not going to be perfect.
15:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Erick Murray did take a bat angle on the Sean Watson once at a large Sean Watson to pick up a first down.
15:20
[SPEAKER_00]: But
15:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, very, very strong performance by the Jaguar's defense in this game.
15:26
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say this.
15:29
[SPEAKER_00]: Kick coverage.
15:31
[SPEAKER_00]: was still a problem for the jacks.
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, let's see the numbers here.
15:36
[SPEAKER_00]: For the Cleveland Browns on their kick returns, they averaged 38 yards per return.
15:42
[SPEAKER_00]: That was unacceptable.
15:43
[SPEAKER_00]: You had rocket Sanders, have a 74-yarder, you had Dylan Samson, have a 37-yarder, you had Malachi, poorly have a 34-yarder.
15:52
[SPEAKER_00]: you give up 228 yards on six kicks.
15:55
[SPEAKER_00]: That is, they've got to clean that up.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: That's something that needs to be cleaned up.
15:59
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it can be, I think it will be, but that's something the Jaguars are going to have to show that they can clean up here with Heath far well in the rest of those guys.
16:07
[SPEAKER_00]: A coach in it up on special teams and then just the players have got to execute better.
16:10
[SPEAKER_00]: There's very little question about that.
16:12
[SPEAKER_00]: That was pretty unacceptable, but
16:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Outside of that on special teams, I think you're in a good place.
16:17
[SPEAKER_00]: Cam Little did his job for extra points.
16:19
[SPEAKER_00]: Two fuel goals looked good.
16:21
[SPEAKER_00]: Logan Cook didn't have to punt very much.
16:23
[SPEAKER_00]: He punted twice and averaged 54 yards per punt.
16:26
[SPEAKER_00]: So he did a good job.
16:27
[SPEAKER_00]: Certainly.
16:29
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the Jag Course kick return game looked solid, not spectacular, but it looked solid.
16:33
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think special teams wise outside of kick coverage, you're looking pretty solid, but you've definitely got to clean that up here moving forward.
16:40
[SPEAKER_00]: But make no mistake about it.
16:41
[SPEAKER_00]: Enjoy this.
16:42
[SPEAKER_00]: The Jag Course handled their business, the way you want them to handle their business against a bad football team.
16:47
[SPEAKER_00]: You can only play the opponent that's out there in front of you at the time you're playing the game.
16:51
[SPEAKER_00]: and the Jack Wars did everything you could ask for, and if they kept their starters in, if they were in a more competitive game, again, I believe they would have put up over 50 points on the Cleveland Browns.
17:01
[SPEAKER_00]: So, really appreciate y'all tuning in.
