- 0:12Speaker 1: Jaguars dot Com, and Jaguars YouTube. The Jaguars host the
- 0:16Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs in week two, but first look back
- 0:19Speaker 1: to last week's went Over the Colts with Pete Briscoe
- 0:21Speaker 1: and Tony Vasselli on Jaguars Happy Hour Radio Monday afternoon.
- 0:26Speaker 3: A couple of runs I didn't like when they were called.
- 0:28Speaker 3: I thought they went too horizontal at times. The fourth
- 0:31Speaker 3: and one, the quick throwover to to Ingram.
- 0:35Speaker 4: Ok, I'm gonna, I'm gonna okay, First of all, needs
- 0:39Speaker 4: to start the third and three where Trevor quarterback sneaked.
- 0:41Speaker 4: I did not.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Understand that that I didn't like.
- 0:45Speaker 4: Now, he might have done that himself.
- 0:47Speaker 3: He might have audible looked like he did on the
- 0:48Speaker 3: goal line against the Chargers.
- 0:49Speaker 4: That's right, that's right, he could have done himself.
- 0:52Speaker 2: If you go back to because this is the second
- 0:55Speaker 2: person who's complained.
- 0:56Speaker 4: About the the uh quick screen to Evan Ingram on
- 1:00Speaker 4: the fourth and one. If Brent Strange makes that block.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Well, but he didn't. I know, but Pete, it's set
- 1:08Speaker 2: up you. You have out leveraged the defense.
- 1:09Speaker 4: It's a one on one block and it's not only
- 1:12Speaker 4: a first down.
- 1:12Speaker 2: He might be, but there's two there's two guys there.
- 1:16Speaker 2: It was weird the way they did it too. He
- 1:19Speaker 2: had one and the other guy had another. Yes, he
- 1:22Speaker 2: did it were too.
- 1:23Speaker 4: Strange if brent Strange makes that block, and Brenton Strange
- 1:26Speaker 4: is one of their best blockers. He missed to get
- 1:29Speaker 4: easy first it's an easy first down.
- 1:32Speaker 3: He missed his block, but there were two guys out
- 1:34Speaker 3: there blocking and.
- 1:34Speaker 2: They did it.
- 1:35Speaker 3: It was strange the way they did it. He came
- 1:37Speaker 3: if you look at it, he came off as yes,
- 1:39Speaker 3: he was okay. So you like the play call. It
- 1:42Speaker 3: wasn't awful. I just think there was a lot of
- 1:43Speaker 3: stuff to the side. Here's the other thing that bothered
- 1:47Speaker 3: me about the offense. There was too much riddle and
- 1:52Speaker 3: you're gonna you guys probably will sit there and say, well,
- 1:54Speaker 3: what are you talking about. There were times in that
- 1:57Speaker 3: game where I think Aren's got locked on Ridley when
- 2:01Speaker 3: he had Kirk, And I'll give you an example. There
- 2:04Speaker 3: was a sideline throw to the left side Kirk had
- 2:06Speaker 3: come off, he'd run a pivot route and came back inside.
- 2:11Speaker 2: And I agree with you.
- 2:13Speaker 4: I think I think there was I think Trevor, from
- 2:15Speaker 4: me watching the game locked in, I actually agree at
- 2:19Speaker 4: that point. That's the first good point you've made.
- 2:21Speaker 3: This ententire no good. Every point is good. The sacks
- 2:25Speaker 3: point was good, The disjointed play.
- 2:27Speaker 2: Calling was good. This is fantastic.
- 2:29Speaker 3: And here's the other thing Trevor didn't do. And you
- 2:32Speaker 3: know how I feel about him. I think the guy's
- 2:33Speaker 3: gonna win the MVP. And he made some incredible throws.
- 2:35Speaker 3: The throw he made going to his left throw and
- 2:37Speaker 3: a back across his body was incredible.
- 2:39Speaker 2: The one to say in the end zone was fantastic.
- 2:42Speaker 3: Here's what he didn't do, though, and I don't know why,
- 2:44Speaker 3: because this is something he started doing at the end.
- 2:46Speaker 2: He didn't get to the backside. And there were.
- 2:50Speaker 3: Times and Tony, you probably remember some of these plays
- 2:52Speaker 3: where he had Ingram once in the middle that would
- 2:54Speaker 3: have been a big play if he comes to the
- 2:56Speaker 3: backside he had I think even it might have even
- 2:58Speaker 3: been Ridley on the backside. Comes to the backside, he
- 3:01Speaker 3: was two front side dominant, and he needs to get
- 3:05Speaker 3: because it wasn't early in the game. There were time
- 3:07Speaker 3: there was time when he could stand there and make
- 3:09Speaker 3: that decision to go back to the backside.
- 3:11Speaker 2: So and and the Ridley stuff.
- 3:14Speaker 3: There was another example where he had Kirk open and
- 3:17Speaker 3: he went to Ridley or somebody else.
- 3:18Speaker 2: He went to force it to Ridley.
- 3:20Speaker 3: So Ridley dominant isn't a bad thing, but you gotta
- 3:24Speaker 3: be smart about it. You gotta if he's got two
- 3:27Speaker 3: guys on him, you got to get to the open guy.
- 3:29Speaker 4: My complain about the offense Pete and JP was it
- 3:33Speaker 4: never felt like they're in a rhythm. And I think
- 3:36Speaker 4: part of that is because they never got the run
- 3:38Speaker 4: game going. I mean, they got what they get a whole,
- 3:42Speaker 4: a total of one hundred yards and that's with you know,
- 3:45Speaker 4: Travis et and getting the twenty six or at twenty
- 3:48Speaker 4: six yard or.
- 3:48Speaker 1: At the end one hundred and five total yards rushing.
- 3:51Speaker 2: Well, they couldn't block ninety and ninety nine.
- 3:54Speaker 4: Well, I thought, I thought the interior of that of
- 3:57Speaker 4: the Jags offensive line struggled with those two guys.
- 3:59Speaker 1: Jaguars Happy Our Radio Monday airs four to six pm
- 4:02Speaker 1: on ten TOINEXSLAM Jaguars dot Com and Jaguars YouTube a
- 4:06Speaker 1: big part of last week's when catches from Zay Jones,
- 4:10Speaker 1: one for a touchdown and another a fourth and two
- 4:12Speaker 1: conversion to keep the go ahead touchdown drive alive. Jones
- 4:16Speaker 1: talked Monday about his reliability.
- 4:18Speaker 5: I kind of classify it as just doing my job.
- 4:21Speaker 5: You know, That's that's why I'm here, That's what I'm
- 4:24Speaker 5: supposed to do. Christian Kirk said the other day. He
- 4:28Speaker 5: was like, you know, we really have to appreciate these
- 4:31Speaker 5: third down moments as we were alluding to earlier and
- 4:33Speaker 5: how important they are, Like we should want those moments.
- 4:35Speaker 5: And then coach Chad talked about how pressure is a
- 4:38Speaker 5: privileged to be in those moments and to not shy
- 4:41Speaker 5: away from it. So I think just having revering that
- 4:46Speaker 5: moment and revering kind of like that mindset for us
- 4:49Speaker 5: of understanding, Okay, this is why.
- 4:50Speaker 2: We are here. We have enough to do it here.
- 4:55Speaker 5: So let's get the job done. So I don't think
- 4:58Speaker 5: it's more so pride as it is, like, you know,
- 5:02Speaker 5: I just respect and honor kind of my job and
- 5:04Speaker 5: why I'm here.
- 5:06Speaker 6: Zay would you're on the sidelines about take the field
- 5:08Speaker 6: and you see return like Jamal hyd yesterday, what's that
- 5:11Speaker 6: really do for the energy?
- 5:13Speaker 5: It's electric, It's it means so much as an offense
- 5:17Speaker 5: to start, you know, with only half the field. It's
- 5:22Speaker 5: it does a lot for just your momentum. I know
- 5:25Speaker 5: for our coaches too. Okay, now we can look at
- 5:29Speaker 5: we don't have to go eighty seventy yards. Let's let's
- 5:32Speaker 5: look at our game plan from right here. Okay, where's
- 5:35Speaker 5: our field goal range? Where do we just have to
- 5:36Speaker 5: get to secure a field goal with with the great
- 5:39Speaker 5: kicker that we have. So I think that we need
- 5:43Speaker 5: to appreciate what Jamal Agneu has done for this for
- 5:46Speaker 5: this football team over these over these years. And he's
- 5:49Speaker 5: a special talent and it really just you know, boost
- 5:53Speaker 5: everyone to reinvigorates us to just get excited and have
- 5:58Speaker 5: an opportunity to score.
- 5:59Speaker 7: We realize press his call and plays compared to done.
- 6:04Speaker 5: And I'd be lying if I said, yeah, I'm just
- 6:06Speaker 5: more so what's the next call? Maybe as time goes
- 6:11Speaker 5: on a little bit more, But no, I don't think so.
- 6:16Speaker 5: I think I think they both have done a great job.
- 6:20Speaker 8: Y'all score thirty one points and it seems like everybody
- 6:22Speaker 8: feels like y'all didn't play maybe the best game you could.
- 6:26Speaker 8: I mean, does that just kind of say to I
- 6:28Speaker 8: guess the feeling you guys have about what this offense
- 6:31Speaker 8: can do when it when it's clicking on all cylinders.
- 6:33Speaker 5: Yeah, I think we just hold ourselves to a high standard.
- 6:37Speaker 5: We're not really on like the happy to be here train.
- 6:39Speaker 5: I think we're more so we have unfinished you know,
- 6:43Speaker 5: business to do and we know we can do it.
- 6:47Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 6:48Speaker 5: I just I just think that we're still just very
- 6:50Speaker 5: hungry and things weren't as clean as we would want
- 6:54Speaker 5: them to be. I mean, I made plenty of mistakes
- 6:56Speaker 5: still in that game, guys made mistakes, and so I
- 7:01Speaker 5: think our mindset is just like, let's clean up the
- 7:03Speaker 5: mistakes and go play a full game as an offense,
- 7:07Speaker 5: you know, a complete from first quarter to fourth quarter.
- 7:11Speaker 5: And yeah, I just I think that's where we're at
- 7:14Speaker 5: right now. Hopefully I can speak for the guys and
- 7:17Speaker 5: no one's like, oh no, it's not true, but you
- 7:19Speaker 5: know what I'm saying.
- 7:20Speaker 1: On the defensive side, Josh Allen put together a career
- 7:24Speaker 1: high three sacks with ten total tackles against the Colts,
- 7:26Speaker 1: and he was asked Monday. If he had found the
- 7:28Speaker 1: consistency he's looking.
- 7:30Speaker 9: For, we're gonna see it next week and then following
- 7:32Speaker 9: week after that. I think it was a good start
- 7:34Speaker 9: of the year watching the tables. Things that are I
- 7:37Speaker 9: know I can get better on, but I think it
- 7:39Speaker 9: was just the relentlessness and the things that you can't coach.
- 7:43Speaker 9: I showed that. I showed that a lot yesterday. And
- 7:46Speaker 9: you don't want to build on that and continue to go.
- 7:49Speaker 8: The defense as a whole coming up with some crucial
- 7:51Speaker 8: fourth down stops. How big is that for you guys
- 7:53Speaker 8: as a unit.
- 7:54Speaker 2: I mean it's huge.
- 7:56Speaker 9: You know, we want to be the team, the defense
- 7:57Speaker 9: that we know we can become. We have to make
- 8:00Speaker 9: plays like that and uh and big moments and we've
- 8:03Speaker 9: been in we were in a lot of big moments
- 8:04Speaker 9: this week, and uh we capitalized. So we got to
- 8:07Speaker 9: continue to go, continue to communicate well, continue to be
- 8:10Speaker 9: in the right spot when time need to, and continue
- 8:12Speaker 9: to make those plays.
- 8:14Speaker 8: Yet, Pat mahomes coming this week, third time you guys
- 8:17Speaker 8: play him in a year, but this time it's in Jacksonville.
- 8:20Speaker 8: How much does that location make a difference at all?
- 8:23Speaker 9: I mean, it doesn't make a doesn't really make a
- 8:26Speaker 9: big difference. I know he's he's Patrick Mahones, and you know,
- 8:29Speaker 9: if Kelsey players are not, they're a heck of a team.
- 8:33Speaker 9: So you know, we're gonna have to be real discipline
- 8:36Speaker 9: on our eyes this week, and we're gonna have to
- 8:38Speaker 9: keep him in the pocket as well. You know, he's
- 8:40Speaker 9: another guy that can scramble. He's a little wiggly, uh
- 8:43Speaker 9: so he can run left, run right, back, it up,
- 8:45Speaker 9: go forward. So uh just to be able to stay
- 8:48Speaker 9: relentless and continue to grow on that. But you know,
- 8:53Speaker 9: this is a this is a game that we must win,
- 8:56Speaker 9: playoff game for us. We may see this team later
- 8:59Speaker 9: down the road, so we want to get in early
- 9:01Speaker 9: and uh just can't. And we also can't lose a
- 9:04Speaker 9: home And we know our fans are gonna show out
- 9:07Speaker 9: and be out there even though it's gonna be really hot.
- 9:09Speaker 9: We know they're gonna cheer and support us. So we're
- 9:11Speaker 9: really excited for that and ready to go.
- 9:13Speaker 8: You reflect on that last game against the Chiefs at
- 9:15Speaker 8: all before this one.
- 9:17Speaker 9: I mean personally, it's a little personal for me, man,
- 9:19Speaker 9: because the last two times I played them last year,
- 9:21Speaker 9: I wasn't at my best, and uh so for me,
- 9:25Speaker 9: you know, it's it's personal. But at the end of
- 9:27Speaker 9: the day, I got a job to do and for
- 9:29Speaker 9: me to be where I need to be, I also
- 9:32Speaker 9: need to know what I'm doing out there. So just
- 9:34Speaker 9: the film, study, the preparation takes full in. So if
- 9:38Speaker 9: I continue to do that, continue to practice well, then
- 9:41Speaker 9: everything else is gonna take care of yourself. And that's
- 9:44Speaker 9: what I'm you know, want to be more consistent on
- 9:47Speaker 9: all the.
- 9:48Speaker 1: Press conferences from the week available at Jaguars dot com.
- 9:51Speaker 1: On the ozone podcast this week, senior writer John Osier
- 9:54Speaker 1: visited with second year outside linebacker Trayvon Walker.
- 9:57Speaker 7: It's been such a remarkable growth in the last twelve games,
- 10:01Speaker 7: you know, nine wins dating back to last season, the
- 10:04Speaker 7: only losses to Kansas City and Detroit, which you are hot,
- 10:07Speaker 7: good teams, is teams elevated? Anything to put on your finger,
- 10:12Speaker 7: why or is it just what you said? You're learning
- 10:14Speaker 7: how to do it and it takes some time.
- 10:16Speaker 10: It was definitely simple factor. Yes, obviously us learning how
- 10:20Speaker 10: to win, but also last year it was coaches first
- 10:24Speaker 10: year and a lot of players first year playing together
- 10:27Speaker 10: and obviously coming in the year two a lot of
- 10:29Speaker 10: us have played together or been coached. We have that
- 10:32Speaker 10: chemistry amongst each other now to what, we all on
- 10:35Speaker 10: the same page and we're not out there out there
- 10:37Speaker 10: just running around trying to make plays.
- 10:39Speaker 7: Got you one question about sort of what you faced
- 10:42Speaker 7: over your career. I'm curious about do you feel any
- 10:47Speaker 7: more or any different going into year two about the
- 10:51Speaker 7: whole pressure of the number one pick. It didn't seem
- 10:54Speaker 7: like you focused on that a whole lot anyway, But
- 10:57Speaker 7: is that sort of something that you deal with or
- 11:01Speaker 7: handle differently now than before?
- 11:03Speaker 10: I say, way, did I just kind of like deal
- 11:06Speaker 10: with that situation? Is just continue to know why the
- 11:11Speaker 10: Jags brought me here. They brought me here to affect
- 11:14Speaker 10: the quarterback, get to the quarterback, get sacks or whatever.
- 11:17Speaker 10: We Obviously I'm in competition with you know what I'm saying,
- 11:19Speaker 10: all the edge rushers in the league. But first and foremost,
- 11:22Speaker 10: I'm in competition with myself.
- 11:23Speaker 1: So I got you.
- 11:24Speaker 10: I hold myself to a way high standard than anybody
- 11:27Speaker 10: would ever hold me to. I know when I need
- 11:31Speaker 10: to do better at this, which pass rushing. So I
- 11:34Speaker 10: just take full accountability, full accountability on things like that.
- 11:38Speaker 7: How do you and Josh handle the whole like all
- 11:40Speaker 7: off season, pass rush, pass rush, past ruts. It's all
- 11:43Speaker 7: you heard on Twitter about the Jags. What do you
- 11:46Speaker 7: guys talk about? Do you ever talk about that or
- 11:49Speaker 7: is it more just hey, we can be the guys.
- 11:52Speaker 10: Yeah, it's never It was never about what people said
- 11:55Speaker 10: on social media or whatever. It was just all amongst us,
- 11:58Speaker 10: like things that we will always tell each other, like
- 12:00Speaker 10: we always just down on each other, Like just not
- 12:02Speaker 10: that youure him, No, that you're that guy, like you're
- 12:05Speaker 10: very capable of having fifteen twenty plus acts. Note, like
- 12:10Speaker 10: we're great athletes and it's not. It's not a lot
- 12:13Speaker 10: of guys with our body type, strength, speed, right that
- 12:16Speaker 10: can kind of merit the things together. It's just we
- 12:18Speaker 10: have to tell our sales. It's a lot of self
- 12:20Speaker 10: talk within it. You just have to tell our sales
- 12:22Speaker 10: that we are the best, We are him and we

- 13:49Speaker 1: the Chiefs, the team that beat the Jaguars twice last year,
- 13:52Speaker 1: including the AFC Divisional playoff game. Both of those games
- 13:56Speaker 1: were at Arrowhead. This time it's at the Bank. Quarterback
- 13:59Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence was asked in his Wednesday press conference if
- 14:02Speaker 1: playing them twice last year helps the preparation.
- 14:05Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, I think you get definitely, you get
- 14:07Speaker 12: more of a feel playing them twice in one season
- 14:09Speaker 12: of what they what they do really well. You know
- 14:11Speaker 12: what they want to do defensively, and I'm sure vice
- 14:14Speaker 12: versa offensively for our defense. But of course you get
- 14:17Speaker 12: more of a feel the more you play someone. And
- 14:19Speaker 12: we've had the opportunity to play them twice so now
- 14:22Speaker 12: going on a third time. But again, some of the
- 14:24Speaker 12: guys have changed. Obviously, they get Chris back this week.
- 14:27Speaker 12: He'll be up front. He's always going to be a
- 14:29Speaker 12: big part of the play. You gotta know where he's at.
- 14:30Speaker 12: He's a great player. And they got a lot of
- 14:32Speaker 12: other guys too on the d line that are playing
- 14:34Speaker 12: really well, and their secondary is playing great. I think
- 14:36Speaker 12: obviously Spags has a great scheme for those guys, does
- 14:40Speaker 12: a great job in the back end. And they can play.
- 14:43Speaker 12: So there's a lot of challenges that they present and
- 14:45Speaker 12: we kind of know what they like to do, what
- 14:47Speaker 12: they want to do, but they also do a really
- 14:48Speaker 12: good job of mixing it up and keeping you on
- 14:50Speaker 12: your toes. So and it's all, like I said last week,
- 14:53Speaker 12: it's kind of tough. First couple games this season. You're
- 14:55Speaker 12: still trying to get a feel for and and teams
- 14:58Speaker 12: are trying to get a feel for what they're good
- 14:59Speaker 12: at too. Obviously you kind of go off what what
- 15:01Speaker 12: you've done in the past and what you've seen. You
- 15:03Speaker 12: kind of got to go with that.
- 15:04Speaker 2: How much did you watch when you went back and
- 15:06Speaker 2: watched all the tape from last year, how much did you.
- 15:08Speaker 13: Watch those two meetings, those two games in particular, prepared
- 15:11Speaker 13: to other games a.
- 15:13Speaker 12: Few times, especially you know in Nausta, especially the last
- 15:16Speaker 12: one in the playoffs. Obviously watched that game a lot,
- 15:19Speaker 12: just stuff to learn from all over the board really,
- 15:22Speaker 12: and then I think maybe not as much the first game,
- 15:25Speaker 12: having that most recent game against some kind of watch
- 15:27Speaker 12: watch that more, but watch the other the first game
- 15:29Speaker 12: a couple of times as well. So I've seen those
- 15:31Speaker 12: games plenty of times. And then now watching them again.
- 15:34Speaker 12: That's where we're preparing to play them again. So, yeah,
- 15:37Speaker 12: you watch all that tape and try to take something.
- 15:39Speaker 7: From it, at least what's the biggest thing you've taken
- 15:41Speaker 7: away and watching him recently, is there something you looked at.
- 15:44Speaker 4: And you were really proud of what you guys did,
- 15:46Speaker 4: Maybe something you regret not doing.
- 15:48Speaker 12: Yeah, I don't think I think you're ever necessarily, don't
- 15:52Speaker 12: ever really feel great about not winning, because we're at
- 15:54Speaker 12: the point where we feel like, no matter who we play,
- 15:57Speaker 12: we should win and that's the expectation and it's a
- 16:00Speaker 12: great thing to be at that point. So there's not
- 16:01Speaker 12: that feeling of necessarily, you know, kind of made a
- 16:04Speaker 12: tight game. There's not any of that feeling. But I
- 16:06Speaker 12: think just looking at how close we were to some
- 16:09Speaker 12: opportunities that we missed, you know, whether it's a misthrow,
- 16:13Speaker 12: a drop, a turnover, like just things throughout each game
- 16:17Speaker 12: that really when you're playing. I think the thing that
- 16:19Speaker 12: sticks out is when you're playing a team like the
- 16:21Speaker 12: Chiefs that is that good that's been there before, that
- 16:23Speaker 12: executes in critical moments, and especially with Patrick on the
- 16:27Speaker 12: other side in that offense, you got to take advantage.
- 16:30Speaker 2: Of your opportunity.
- 16:30Speaker 12: So there's that, there's you know that, and I think
- 16:33Speaker 12: we have learned that the hard way now, and you
- 16:35Speaker 12: got to take advantage of the opportunities when you have them.
- 16:37Speaker 12: You got to make the plays, You got to be
- 16:38Speaker 12: great in critical situations. And I think those are all
- 16:41Speaker 12: things that we've gotten better at. But we just got
- 16:42Speaker 12: to keep keep getting better because that's what they're gonna
- 16:45Speaker 12: do on the other side. So you know who you're playing,
- 16:46Speaker 12: and you really got to execute.
- 16:47Speaker 8: The last meetings were in case c doesn't make a
- 16:50Speaker 8: difference that this one's here in Jacksonville.
- 16:52Speaker 12: Yeah, Yeah, it's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be awesome
- 16:54Speaker 12: home opener here. A lot of energy obviously this offseason
- 16:57Speaker 12: about you know, about us, about our team, about the season,
- 17:00Speaker 12: and it's going to be exciting to see the bank
- 17:02Speaker 12: fill it up and just encourage all the fans to
- 17:06Speaker 12: come out and be loud. I mean, use let's use
- 17:08Speaker 12: our home field advantage that we had that we saw
- 17:09Speaker 12: kind of at the end of the season last year,
- 17:11Speaker 12: because that was incredible. Makes it harder for teams to
- 17:13Speaker 12: come in here and play. And obviously Kansas City has
- 17:16Speaker 12: a great home field advantage when you play there, and
- 17:18Speaker 12: you know, want to be the same way here and
- 17:19Speaker 12: our fans have done a great job, so I'm excited
- 17:21Speaker 12: for that.
- 17:21Speaker 1: The ful Trevor Lawrence press conference on Jaguars dot Com.
- 17:24Speaker 1: Let's move now to the Chiefs perspective. Neil Jones of
- 17:28Speaker 1: KSETV five in Kansas City joined Jags Am this week
- 17:32Speaker 1: and visited with Kyle Stevens, Brian Sexton, and John Osier
- 17:35Speaker 1: discussing the struggles for the Chiefs offense last Thursday night.
- 17:39Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, that's exactly what I took away from
- 17:42Speaker 6: that game and what surprised me so much. People don't
- 17:45Speaker 6: realize how good of a game planner Andy Reid really is.
- 17:49Speaker 6: I mean, we've seen him succeed with just a number
- 17:51Speaker 6: of different quarterbacks with different skill sets, and you know
- 17:54Speaker 6: that he's really good, but you don't realize how great
- 17:56Speaker 6: he is until he was given an instrument like Patrick
- 17:59Speaker 6: Mahomes who can execute his offense, who's also very smart
- 18:03Speaker 6: and a hard worker so that he can recognize things
- 18:06Speaker 6: and to see them kind of steymied was surprising, But
- 18:10Speaker 6: it was not just not having Kelsey that was the
- 18:13Speaker 6: biggest But there were. He's got young receivers who were
- 18:16Speaker 6: playing their first game. You know, their second round draft
- 18:20Speaker 6: pick for Shee Rice, number four, who's an excellent player
- 18:23Speaker 6: out of SMU is lost a little bit. Kadarius Tony
- 18:27Speaker 6: was getting open. He does know the offense and he's
- 18:29Speaker 6: worked very hard when he first came in from the
- 18:32Speaker 6: Giants last.
- 18:32Speaker 2: Year, so he knew where to be.
- 18:34Speaker 6: The problem was when they threw it to him, he
- 18:36Speaker 6: dropped the football. They had eighteen incompletions, which is a
- 18:39Speaker 6: large number for Patrick Mahomes, but ten of them are
- 18:43Speaker 6: deemed to be drops by the official stats to compiled
- 18:46Speaker 6: by the NFL.
- 18:47Speaker 2: Ten drops.
- 18:48Speaker 6: So they were executing the offense, getting the football people's hands,
- 18:52Speaker 6: they weren't catching it.
- 18:53Speaker 2: And what he does, what.
- 18:55Speaker 6: Patrick Mahomes does, he puts the ball up and gives
- 18:58Speaker 6: his receiver.
- 18:59Speaker 2: A chance to make play.
- 19:00Speaker 6: Sometimes that can make him look bad if the receiver
- 19:04Speaker 6: turns the wrong way or doesn't win his battle for
- 19:06Speaker 6: the ball, doesn't go up and win it at the
- 19:08Speaker 6: high point, because it looks like he's just laying it
- 19:10Speaker 6: out there. That's what happened in the AFC Championship Game
- 19:13Speaker 6: two years ago in overtime against the Bengals and it
- 19:16Speaker 6: got a beat. He tried to get it to Tyreek
- 19:18Speaker 6: Hill and give him a chance to make a play,
- 19:20Speaker 6: and Hill wasn't able to make it. It looks like
- 19:22Speaker 6: he was throwing at double coverage, so it did look
- 19:25Speaker 6: very uncharacteristic. But I will say this, the last time
- 19:30Speaker 6: did we saw this Chiefs team playing without their all
- 19:33Speaker 6: world tight end Travis Kelcey was against the Titans in
- 19:37Speaker 6: the playoffs the last half of the Alex Smith era.
- 19:41Speaker 6: Their offense went completely stagnant in the second half. Without
- 19:45Speaker 6: the tight end, he changes everything. Defensive coaches will say,
- 19:49Speaker 6: you have to account for him. Used to be you
- 19:52Speaker 6: had to account for him and over the middle and
- 19:54Speaker 6: for Tyreek Hill deep. Now without Hill, you have to
- 19:57Speaker 6: account for him. And without him in there, I have
- 20:00Speaker 6: a bunch of underneath coverage. It changed the way people
- 20:03Speaker 6: played defense against them, and it made them vulnerable.
- 20:07Speaker 7: Neil, This is obviously a huge game for Jacksonville, It's
- 20:11Speaker 7: a big game for Kansas City. But I'm wondering if
- 20:13Speaker 7: you get any vibe for how the Chiefs sort of
- 20:15Speaker 7: feel about this game. I get the Jaguars had never
- 20:18Speaker 7: beaten them. They were nine to eight last year, etc.
- 20:21Speaker 7: Do the Chiefs care about this game in any way
- 20:24Speaker 7: the way the Jags do, or put that in perspective
- 20:26Speaker 7: for me, what they're thinking of this.
- 20:28Speaker 6: Well, you know, that's the great thing about last year.
- 20:31Speaker 6: They played two games against the Jags. Game one, the
- 20:34Speaker 6: Jags secondary was more physical than any other secondary that
- 20:38Speaker 6: the Chiefs saw. They blasted them. It looked to me
- 20:41Speaker 6: like they made a concerted effort. We are going to
- 20:43Speaker 6: hit them early and often and just we're gonna go
- 20:46Speaker 6: right up to the rules and maybe a little bit
- 20:47Speaker 6: over the line a little bit, and we're gonna really
- 20:49Speaker 6: put it on them.
- 20:50Speaker 2: That got their attention.
- 20:51Speaker 6: I thought the Jags were much better that first game
- 20:53Speaker 6: than we expected.
- 20:54Speaker 2: And then the.
- 20:55Speaker 6: Playoff game is a seven point game. I mean, they
- 20:58Speaker 6: come into this saying all the right things, but more
- 21:01Speaker 6: than that, I think that they believe.
- 21:03Speaker 1: This Jags team's a good team.
- 21:04Speaker 6: It is an ascending team that's coached by a guy
- 21:07Speaker 6: who Andy Reid loves, Doug Peterson. He talked about it
- 21:11Speaker 6: yesterday at the press conference. He goes, I've been with
- 21:13Speaker 6: him a long time, a lot of years.
- 21:16Speaker 2: I respect him.
- 21:17Speaker 6: That carries over to the football team. This is a
- 21:20Speaker 6: smart football team as well as being a talented football team.
- 21:23Speaker 6: And I think they know how good the Jags can be.
- 21:25Speaker 6: I don't think there's any way they overlook Jacksonville.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Jags am available Monday, Wednesday and Thursday on Jaguars dot Com.
- 21:32Speaker 1: Let's move to a couple of conversations to come this weekend.
- 21:35Speaker 1: CBS Sports Played by Play announcer Iron Eagle sat down
- 21:38Speaker 1: with me earlier this week to discuss this matchup and
- 21:41Speaker 1: the idea of this Jaguars team being together for only
- 21:44Speaker 1: a short time to come.
- 21:45Speaker 13: Yeah, you're talking about the reality of doing business in
- 21:48Speaker 13: the NFL, because that part of it plays such an
- 21:52Speaker 13: important role. Fans get caught up in who's on their
- 21:56Speaker 13: team and rooting for their squad, and that's how it
- 21:59Speaker 13: should be. But the business side of this is a
- 22:03Speaker 13: very important piece to the equation, keeping your guys together,
- 22:06Speaker 13: maintaining your roster and trying to playkate and keep everybody
- 22:12Speaker 13: happy because there are human emotions that come into play here.
- 22:15Speaker 13: What you're getting paid, what you're playing time, Are you
- 22:19Speaker 13: getting a chance to show your skill level so that
- 22:22Speaker 13: if it's not the team that you're going to re
- 22:24Speaker 13: sign with, it's somebody else in the NFL that's watching
- 22:28Speaker 13: your tape. But if you're not actually getting the playing time,
- 22:31Speaker 13: then you can't showcase your skills. So think about that.
- 22:35Speaker 13: Multiply it now by thirty two because every team deals
- 22:39Speaker 13: with it and that's part of being a GM and
- 22:42Speaker 13: an owner in the NFL. So you make a great point.
- 22:46Speaker 13: Jacksonville is set up this year to do some special things,
- 22:51Speaker 13: and now it's got to translate to the field. The
- 22:53Speaker 13: first really good sign of the season was the defensive
- 22:58Speaker 13: pressure that they showed in Week one. Anyone that watched
- 23:02Speaker 13: the Jaguars last year recognized they had to get better
- 23:06Speaker 13: in that department. They had to get to the quarterback,
- 23:09Speaker 13: they had to throw the timing off of the quarterback.
- 23:12Speaker 13: And now you're dealing with one of the best to
- 23:14Speaker 13: ever do it in Patrick Mahomes. So the challenge is
- 23:17Speaker 13: out there. Can you do it again against a parental
- 23:22Speaker 13: perennial MVP candidate?
- 23:23Speaker 1: Yeah, and that changes the whole dynamic. It's one thing
- 23:26Speaker 1: against a rookie quarterback, but then you've got a guy who,
- 23:29Speaker 1: if he keeps on this space, he might already be
- 23:31Speaker 1: in Canton with two Super Bowls. But you never know.
- 23:35Speaker 1: That he's gonna be one of the all time greats,
- 23:37Speaker 1: and the way he escapes and does things the defenses.
- 23:41Speaker 1: You know, that's a huge question obviously this week. How
- 23:44Speaker 1: different are the Chiefs if Kelsey can't go, How different
- 23:47Speaker 1: of an offense are they doesn't feel like they're as
- 23:49Speaker 1: explosive of it as they were a couple of years ago.
- 23:52Speaker 13: Yeah, they definitely don't have the game breakers that they've
- 23:55Speaker 13: had in the past. Of Course, tyreek Hill, even McCole Hardman,
- 23:59Speaker 13: he had some eyes that could wreck a game. And
- 24:03Speaker 13: you just don't get that same mistique around the Chiefs
- 24:07Speaker 13: offense that they once had. Now, I would tell you
- 24:10Speaker 13: their running game is probably a little more effective because
- 24:13Speaker 13: Pacheco is a punishing runner and if you get a lead,
- 24:17Speaker 13: which Patrick Mahomes is certainly capable of doing for the Chiefs,
- 24:22Speaker 13: they can milk clock. They can wear you down with
- 24:27Speaker 13: his physical running style, angry style. So it might be
- 24:34Speaker 13: a little bit more of that compared to what we
- 24:36Speaker 13: saw in previous years with the Chiefs. Here's the thing
- 24:38Speaker 13: with Andy Reid, He's a problem solver on offense. He's
- 24:42Speaker 13: going to figure some things out. We recognize that he's
- 24:46Speaker 13: very creative and if you give him enough time, he
- 24:50Speaker 13: will sort through the issue. So the idea that anyone's
- 24:53Speaker 13: figured out the Chiefs now after Week one against Detroit,
- 24:57Speaker 13: I don't buy into it. They have been able to
- 25:00Speaker 13: reinvent themselves a number of times. Even in their two
- 25:03Speaker 13: Super Bowl wins, it wasn't done in the same exact fashion.
- 25:07Speaker 13: So this is a Kansas City team that usually figures
- 25:12Speaker 13: it out when the smoke clears.
- 25:14Speaker 1: Also a sneak preview of my weekly conversation with prior
- 25:17Speaker 1: to the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor, and we talked
- 25:19Speaker 1: through the strategy needed on both sides of the ball
- 25:22Speaker 1: to beat the Chiefs.
- 25:23Speaker 14: Yeah, this game has to be very strategic. We know
- 25:26Speaker 14: what the Chiefs offense can do. You know, we know
- 25:28Speaker 14: what you know Patty Mahomes, what he's built, you know
- 25:32Speaker 14: what he's made from. He's unreal, unbelievable. He can get
- 25:37Speaker 14: it done at the drop of a dime. A week
- 25:39Speaker 14: ago they didn't have. You know, they're his favorite target
- 25:42Speaker 14: and Travis Kelsey, so we're gonna have to deal with that.
- 25:45Speaker 14: From a defensive standpoint, the Chiefs are going to have
- 25:48Speaker 14: to find a way to contain Kelvin Ridley, But that's
- 25:51Speaker 14: what they're going to do. You know, they're going to
- 25:53Speaker 14: try to take him away first and with that, it's
- 25:56Speaker 14: going to create opportunities for other guys. Last week, to
- 26:00Speaker 14: start from last season, Christian Kirk, well, he played a lot.
- 26:03Speaker 14: He got his usual run, but you know he didn't
- 26:06Speaker 14: get those those catches we had seen him getting, you know,
- 26:09Speaker 14: last year. But they're gonna come. We all know they're
- 26:11Speaker 14: gonna come. Coach Peterson, Trevor, they're great atu spreading that
- 26:15Speaker 14: ball around, so they're gonna come. And this week is
- 26:17Speaker 14: a perfect time for him to step up and play big.
- 26:20Speaker 14: I remember a year ago he had some nice cross
- 26:22Speaker 14: the routes. He had a deep ball down the sideline,
- 26:25Speaker 14: and he's a playmaker and I think he's gonna be
- 26:28Speaker 14: the key to victory when they try to take away
- 26:30Speaker 14: Calvin this uh in this matchup, I believe those other
- 26:35Speaker 14: guys are certainly gonna have to step up in that
- 26:37Speaker 14: run game. That run game is gonna have to do
- 26:39Speaker 14: his thing. Because Chris Jones returned for the Chiefs, you know,
- 26:44Speaker 14: he's absolutely gonna be excited for his first game of
- 26:47Speaker 14: a year. We had some injuries there against the Coats
- 26:51Speaker 14: and when Sheriff went out, it seems that that's when
- 26:54Speaker 14: the coach defense started to penetrate and create some havoc.
- 26:58Speaker 14: So we're gonna have to play solid across the or
- 27:00Speaker 14: with those guys up front for Ted Trevor. Hopefully he
- 27:03Speaker 14: has enough time to get the bag down Phil in
- 27:06Speaker 14: the run game, it's gonna be as big as they
- 27:10Speaker 14: need to be to be able to keep that Chiefs
- 27:12Speaker 14: offense on the sideline a bit and slowed him down.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Both exclusive extended interviews will run Saturday on the Official
- 27:19Speaker 1: Jaguars podcast Network. Let's close with the Doug Peterson Show
- 27:23Speaker 1: Thursday night, the Jags head coach looking ahead to the Chiefs.
- 27:27Speaker 15: It's a good football team all around, and you know
- 27:29Speaker 15: it's gonna take a really good effort on our part.
- 27:33Speaker 15: I guess the thing that's going for us too is
- 27:34Speaker 15: we have familiarity with him. Haven't played him twice last year,
- 27:37Speaker 15: and it felt like we had opportunity in both games,
- 27:39Speaker 15: particularly the playoff game, to to you know, do some things,
- 27:43Speaker 15: but you know, you just can't make mistakes in order
- 27:46Speaker 15: to beat teams like this.
- 27:47Speaker 1: Well, and a great thing is is that you get
- 27:49Speaker 1: him at home, and I'm sure that this place is
- 27:51Speaker 1: going to be absolutely rocking on Sunday.
- 27:54Speaker 15: That's that's the best part, right and hopefully a little
- 27:57Speaker 15: bit warm, you know, for the guys coming in here.
- 27:59Speaker 15: But yeah, we're excited. Should be a great electric crowd
- 28:02Speaker 15: looking forward to that. We you know, obviously feeding off
- 28:05Speaker 15: the last two football games a year ago, playoff type atmospheres,
- 28:09Speaker 15: and and that's kind of what we expect and and
- 28:12Speaker 15: we hope that's the way and that's the case, and
- 28:14Speaker 15: and uh, we're really looking forward to to this matchup,
- 28:16Speaker 15: you know, Sunday afternoon.
- 28:18Speaker 1: You know, we did a show with Bucky Brooks. You
- 28:20Speaker 1: might have heard of him the other day, and he
- 28:22Speaker 1: talked about competitive stamina, and that's what this Chiefs team
- 28:27Speaker 1: seems to have. Late in games. They get better, you
- 28:29Speaker 1: talked about it this week. They get better as it
- 28:31Speaker 1: goes along, but in those big moments late in the
- 28:33Speaker 1: fourth quarter, they can elevate their game. How can you
- 28:36Speaker 1: take the Jaguars team to match that this week?
- 28:39Speaker 15: It's a big phrase for Bucky, But you know, that's
- 28:42Speaker 15: that's where we're trying to get to. We're we're trying
- 28:45Speaker 15: to get to to that level. I think our team
- 28:47Speaker 15: is really uh, we've learned it, you know, but now
- 28:52Speaker 15: we've got to we've got to prove it week in
- 28:54Speaker 15: and week out, and especially in games like this. This
- 28:56Speaker 15: is this is only week two, but this could potentially
- 28:59Speaker 15: have implications for January, right when when you're talking postseason. So, yes,
- 29:07Speaker 15: they know how to elevate as the game game goes on,
- 29:09Speaker 15: they can elevate their play. Chris Jones seems to get
- 29:12Speaker 15: a little bit warmer as the game goes on, and
- 29:14Speaker 15: he can if he needs a sack, guess what, He's
- 29:16Speaker 15: gonna go get a sack. And if Patrick Mahomes needs
- 29:20Speaker 15: to make a play, he's gonna make a play. So
- 29:23Speaker 15: that's what we're trying to do. I think our guys
- 29:25Speaker 15: are headed in that direction and that sustainability.
- 29:28Speaker 1: Right.
- 29:28Speaker 15: We've learned how to win, We've learned how to overcome
- 29:32Speaker 15: some adversity to win, and those are all things in
- 29:35Speaker 15: our favor right now.
