- 0:27Speaker 2: Jaguars post game show sponsored by G E H a
- 0:31Speaker 2: Brian Sexton around the table to my left, my Dempsey
- 0:34Speaker 2: to his left coach, Mark Duffner to his left pride
- 0:37Speaker 2: of the Jaguars running back, Fred Taylor to his left me.
- 0:41Speaker 2: And I have a great, great observation for you.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Are you ready?
- 0:45Speaker 2: What was the story all week long in Jacksonville, Florida?
- 0:51Speaker 3: Um, Week two, everybody was in a panic. The sky
- 0:54Speaker 3: was falling.
- 0:55Speaker 2: How were they going to respond?
- 0:56Speaker 3: How were they going to respond?
- 0:57Speaker 2: And the reason why, Mike, is because the Jaguars had
- 0:59Speaker 2: not lost a regular season game since last November 9th
- 1:03Speaker 2: in Houston. So then the story all that week was
- 1:06Speaker 2: how will the Jaguars respond? And they came out and
- 1:08Speaker 2: they beat the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 35-6.
- 1:12Speaker 2: The quarterback that day, Justin Herbert, pulled at the end
- 1:19Speaker 2: of the third quarter. Sound familiar to today's game. In
- 1:22Speaker 2: other words, if someone beats the Jaguars next week's opponent,
- 1:25Speaker 2: better be really careful because Liam Cohen knows how to
- 1:28Speaker 2: get this team ready to play.
- 1:30Speaker 4: Yeah, I think any time you see the opposing team
- 1:32Speaker 4: starting quarterback on the bench healthy with eight minutes to
- 1:35Speaker 4: play in the game, that's a really good sign.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Absolutely it is. 35-6, the Jaguars beat the New England Patriots.
- 1:43Speaker 2: They match the response from 2,025. Most importantly, Mike, at 2-1,
- 1:48Speaker 2: they are in first place in the AFC South in
- 1:51Speaker 2: front of the Indianapolis Colts.
- 1:53Speaker 5: That's right.
- 1:54Speaker 2: Who just beat the Houston Texans to send them to
- 1:58Speaker 2: 0-3 with the Tennessee Titans.
- 2:01Speaker 5: They started 0-3 last year as well. I became one
- 2:04Speaker 5: of only seven teams to start 0-3 and make the postseason,
- 2:06Speaker 5: but I'd like to see them do it again, right?
- 2:09Speaker 5: So here you go. You're 0-3 again, and the Colts
- 2:12Speaker 5: led that game most of the day, gave up the
- 2:15Speaker 5: lead late, and then kicked a field goal with 16
- 2:17Speaker 5: seconds left for the— Ultimate margin. Titans lost again. So
- 2:21Speaker 5: other than playing against each other, the rest of the
- 2:23Speaker 5: AFC South has not won a game.
- 2:25Speaker 2: All right, so let's talk about this game. And there's
- 2:27Speaker 2: so many different ways to go. It was a day, Fred,
- 2:29Speaker 2: in which it seemed that everything went right. Takeaways for
- 2:33Speaker 2: the Jaguars. Touchdowns. How about Jacoby Myers, Brenton Strange, both
- 2:38Speaker 2: getting involved in the bowl game a lot earlier? How
- 2:41Speaker 2: about Travis Hunter making a play in the end zone
- 2:44Speaker 2: to thwart a drive at the end of the first
- 2:46Speaker 2: half that might have been as important a play as
- 2:48Speaker 2: you'd find?
- 2:49Speaker 4: Yeah, I just think, you know, when you look at
- 2:52Speaker 4: how this game turned out this week compared to last
- 2:57Speaker 4: week's game.
- 2:58Speaker 3: You look at it, it starts in the trenches.
- 3:01Speaker 4: It goes to, you know, the offensive line, how well
- 3:03Speaker 4: they protected for Trevor today, gave.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Him an opportunity. There were some pressures here and there.
- 3:08Speaker 4: But last week on 31 dropbacks, he was pressured 11
- 3:11Speaker 4: times at a 35% clip.
- 3:13Speaker 3: Today was completely different.
- 3:15Speaker 4: Plus, they were able to run the ball, sustain some drives,
- 3:18Speaker 4: make some big third down conversions, which amounted to a
- 3:23Speaker 4: better scoring day today. And on the flip side, the
- 3:26Speaker 4: defense had three pressures last week on 31 dropbacks at 10%.
- 3:30Speaker 4: Today they had three sacks, along with a ton of pressures.
- 3:34Speaker 4: So the game was won in the trenches, and the
- 3:36Speaker 4: playmakers on the back end made the plays when they
- 3:39Speaker 4: needed to.
- 3:41Speaker 5: You know, even though the Jags didn't have a lot
- 3:43Speaker 5: of quarterback hits, only had two sacks today, I got
- 3:46Speaker 5: to give some credit to the coverage down the field, Fred,
- 3:49Speaker 5: because Drake May had some time on some plays and
- 3:52Speaker 5: was looking, looking, looking, and kind of those intentional, unintentional throwaways.
- 3:57Speaker 5: You know, he was throwing it two yards over guys'
- 3:59Speaker 5: heads because he had nobody open.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Yeah, and Mike, you're right.
- 4:03Speaker 4: It goes to the guys on the back end with
- 4:05Speaker 4: the credit, but they played a lot more aggressive. There
- 4:08Speaker 4: were some holding calls in there, here and there, but
- 4:11Speaker 4: they played smart. They weren't out of sync, so they
- 4:14Speaker 4: played assignment football. And, man, it feels good to see
- 4:18Speaker 4: the young buck, who's technically still sort of kind of
- 4:21Speaker 4: a rookie in Travis Hunter. get his first career interception,
- 4:24Speaker 4: and hopefully they start raining down on him.
- 4:26Speaker 2: First career interception coach in his 10th career start, but
- 4:30Speaker 2: the important part for him was that in a positive way,
- 4:33Speaker 2: we heard his name.
- 4:34Speaker 6: Absolutely, and he made a big play when we needed
- 4:36Speaker 6: it the most down there in the low red zone.
- 4:39Speaker 6: Had to have it right there. I mean, excellent defense
- 4:44Speaker 6: as far as that's concerned today. Third down defense, they
- 4:47Speaker 6: were 0 for 3 in the red zone, I'm talking about, again,
- 4:50Speaker 6: New England. 35 points against the number one scoring defense
- 4:53Speaker 6: in the league. All right, six points against their offense.
- 4:56Speaker 6: Hell of a job.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Another interception today by Jarrion Jones, which really blew the
- 5:00Speaker 2: game wide open at the end of the third quarter.
- 5:02Speaker 2: Jarrion is with Bucky Brooks right now.
- 5:09Speaker 7: Hey, guys, you got me?
- 5:11Speaker 2: Yes, we got you.
- 5:11Speaker 8: Cool.
- 5:11Speaker 7: All right, cool. Here's Jarrion Jones.
- 5:14Speaker 9: Look, what went into a great bounce back ever for
- 5:17Speaker 9: you guys on defense today?
- 5:19Speaker 8: Uh.
- 5:19Speaker 10: It wasn't when we lost last week. It wasn't a
- 5:21Speaker 10: physical thing. It was more so what we were doing
- 5:23Speaker 10: and our MAs and just not being keyed into the details.
- 5:27Speaker 7: So this week, we.
- 5:28Speaker 10: Harped on that. It was a point of emphasis for us.
- 5:31Speaker 10: And we had a great week of practice. I think
- 5:33Speaker 10: we knew that we had a great chance of winning
- 5:35Speaker 10: the game Wednesday. When everybody came in Wednesday for practice,
- 5:39Speaker 10: that was something we Harped on, and I think you
- 5:41Speaker 10: saw the results of that today.
- 5:42Speaker 9: Well, look, I know you guys are extremely prideful in
- 5:44Speaker 9: that room, and the noise was just going on around
- 5:46Speaker 9: you guys and the cornerback rotation and those stuff. But
- 5:49Speaker 9: I look up and I see Travis get a pick.
- 5:50Speaker 9: I see you get a pick. You guys are getting
- 5:52Speaker 9: your hands on the ball. Why were you able to
- 5:54Speaker 9: get your hands on the ball today? I mean, we
- 5:55Speaker 9: believe in each other. You know, the outside noise, that's
- 5:57Speaker 9: all it is, outside noise. We don't really need nobody
- 6:00Speaker 9: to believe in what we can do. And this person
- 6:02Speaker 9: needs to be doing this. This person needs to be
- 6:03Speaker 9: doing this.
- 6:04Speaker 10: We're a group. We love each other. We play for
- 6:06Speaker 10: each other. You know what I'm saying? We were all
- 6:07Speaker 10: bought into that situation. You know what I'm saying? When
- 6:09Speaker 10: you have three or four corners that can play... These
- 6:11Speaker 10: are the results that you can get. Everybody's playing the ball.
- 6:14Speaker 10: You stay fresh. You have a lot of things going on.
- 6:15Speaker 10: So we don't really pay attention to the outside noise.
- 6:18Speaker 9: The other thing that looked like the physicality on defense
- 6:20Speaker 9: was up. Like you guys were tackling well. You were
- 6:23Speaker 9: bringing your pads. You talked about running through people, hitting
- 6:25Speaker 9: the chest. Just talk about just the uptick in physicality
- 6:28Speaker 9: against the Patriots.
- 6:29Speaker 10: We pride ourselves in trying to be one of the
- 6:31Speaker 10: most physical, violent units in the NFL. And we practice
- 6:34Speaker 10: that every day. So when they didn't show up last week,
- 6:37Speaker 10: that kind of hurt us. That was like a dagger
- 6:39Speaker 10: for us. That really hurt. We just needed to get
- 6:42Speaker 10: back to playing our brand of football, not trying to
- 6:44Speaker 10: be too cute, too pretty, and do other things outside
- 6:47Speaker 10: of what we're known to do. So I think today
- 6:49Speaker 10: our DNA just showed up in a big way.
- 6:51Speaker 7: Well, look, next week you've got a big challenge.
- 6:53Speaker 9: The Cincinnati Bengals, how do you use today and this
- 6:56Speaker 9: week of practice to help you get ready for next week?
- 6:59Speaker 10: What today is what today is. I think when tomorrow comes,
- 7:02Speaker 10: that's kind of over. It's on to next week. That's
- 7:04Speaker 10: kind of what the NFL is. doing what we do.
- 7:07Speaker 10: We know they're a great group, but we believe we're
- 7:09Speaker 10: a great group. So getting back to doing what we do,
- 7:12Speaker 10: I think that'll work in our favor.
- 7:14Speaker 7: Well, look, man, enjoy your victory Monday. It should be
- 7:15Speaker 7: a lot of fun.
- 7:16Speaker 5: Yes, sir.
- 7:18Speaker 2: That's Jarrion Jones. Remember, he had what looked like a
- 7:21Speaker 2: play on an interception in the first half. Had a penalty,
- 7:24Speaker 2: called him for holding. It went away. He came back
- 7:27Speaker 2: and more than made up for it and gave the
- 7:29Speaker 2: Jaguars an opportunity to go from 21-3.
- 7:33Speaker 7: To 28-3.
- 7:33Speaker 6: And that's a sign of a great player when you can, again,
- 7:35Speaker 6: put those plays in the rear view mirror. In other words,
- 7:38Speaker 6: have short memory right now and come back and make
- 7:41Speaker 6: plays that we need to have.
- 7:42Speaker 7: Well done.
- 7:43Speaker 2: We're hearing that we will have the head coach, the quarterback,
- 7:45Speaker 2: and Travis Hunter at the podium. We will effort to
- 7:47Speaker 2: bring you as much of that as we possibly can.
- 7:50Speaker 2: Let's take our first break. We'll be back down inside
- 7:54Speaker 2: Everbank Stadium throughout the course of the next hour, bringing
- 7:57Speaker 2: you all the stories here on the Jaguars Radio Network,
- 7:59Speaker 2: presented by UF Health, the official healthcare partner of the
- 8:02Speaker 2: Jacksonville Jaguars. Jags win 35-6, and you're listening to Jaguars
- 8:06Speaker 2: Postgame on Jaguars Radio. Welcome back to Jaguars postgame. Brian, Mike, Fred,
- 8:14Speaker 2: and Mark with you from the Hyundai Studios. Today's game,
- 8:17Speaker 2: the 35-6 win over the New England Patriots, was presented
- 8:20Speaker 2: by UF Health. UF Health is the official healthcare partner
- 8:24Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. So many places to go. We've
- 8:28Speaker 2: talked about the big storylines. Let's go to a couple
- 8:30Speaker 2: of players that stood out. And Fred, Basial Tootin, 15 carries,
- 8:35Speaker 2: 73 yards. He got the touchdown at the end thanks
- 8:38Speaker 2: to the quarterback stopping at the one-yard line. But Basial
- 8:41Speaker 2: ran hard, had a couple of beautiful runs at opportune
- 8:44Speaker 2: moments today. Your thoughts on today and what you're seeing
- 8:48Speaker 2: from him in his first season as the full-time starter.
- 8:50Speaker 7: Yeah.
- 8:51Speaker 4: First, let me say, I wish I had a quarterback
- 8:53Speaker 4: like Trevor Lawrence, just gifting touchdowns. I think at the
- 8:58Speaker 4: end of Trevor's career, he's going to look back and say, man,
- 9:01Speaker 4: should I have taken that one? Because I know I
- 9:03Speaker 4: looked back and said, I wish I hadn't come out
- 9:05Speaker 4: at the goal line as often.
- 9:06Speaker 3: But I digress, right?
- 9:09Speaker 4: Basial, he's a young player who he plays with an
- 9:13Speaker 4: extreme sense of urgency. I think the game is starting
- 9:16Speaker 4: to slow down for him. And you don't see him
- 9:19Speaker 4: tripping up over his own feet as much as we
- 9:21Speaker 4: saw a year ago. So I think he's understanding what
- 9:25Speaker 4: tempo is, what patience, because he has home run speed.
- 9:28Speaker 3: And as long as he.
- 9:29Speaker 4: Continues to run with great tempo and patience, those bigger
- 9:34Speaker 4: runs are going to come for him.
- 9:36Speaker 3: And I'm seeing little bits of that.
- 9:38Speaker 4: So those you eventually start to see him breaking those
- 9:41Speaker 4: arm tackles and see some big explosive plays out of him.
- 9:45Speaker 4: But they're just chipping away in between the way he
- 9:49Speaker 4: runs the ball and Chris Rodriguez. I think there's a
- 9:51Speaker 4: great one to punch and the Jaguars are starting to
- 9:54Speaker 4: build their run game, especially from, you know, a little
- 9:57Speaker 4: bit of a letdown a week ago.
- 9:59Speaker 3: So it's very compelling.
- 10:01Speaker 2: Rodriguez had eight carries today for 37 yards and a touchdown.
- 10:04Speaker 2: He converted a couple of third and shorts, but the
- 10:06Speaker 2: thing that I, I love the eight yard run where
- 10:08Speaker 2: he just road graded everyone in front.
- 10:11Speaker 5: Marcus Jones had snapped back on that play, uh, That
- 10:16Speaker 5: is not the right guy, Freddie. You're trying to meet
- 10:19Speaker 5: Chris Rodriguez in the hole. That's the smallest guy on
- 10:21Speaker 5: the field.
- 10:22Speaker 3: Yeah, he is.
- 10:22Speaker 4: He's the smallest guy. But again, if you're in front
- 10:25Speaker 4: of me, you got to get it.
- 10:26Speaker 3: And that's the mentality.
- 10:29Speaker 2: I love it. I love it. The Jags got 110,
- 10:32Speaker 2: 112 rushing yards from Basial Tootin, Chris Rodriguez, and Amir
- 10:37Speaker 2: Abdullah on 26 carries. So you back out. what Trevor
- 10:42Speaker 2: Lawrence did, and you just look at the efficiency of
- 10:44Speaker 2: their running game, because that's been the story, right? Can
- 10:46Speaker 2: they be more efficient? Can they keep this offense on schedule,
- 10:49Speaker 2: ahead of the chains? It looks like they did today.
- 10:52Speaker 2: It looks like for something, foreign change.
- 10:55Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think that's the balance you look for.
- 10:58Speaker 4: I don't remember or recall, I think, what is it,
- 11:03Speaker 4: Trevor had, how many attempts did Trevor have on.
- 11:07Speaker 3: A drop back? 30. 30.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Dropback attempts, 20 for 30, 188, three touchdowns, one INT.
- 11:15Speaker 2: All right, we've got Josh Cameron on his way to
- 11:18Speaker 2: visit with Bucky Brooks. The rookie had a 42-yard kickoff
- 11:21Speaker 2: return that he caught off the muff and bounced it, right,
- 11:24Speaker 2: and grabbed it and went up the sideline. He also
- 11:26Speaker 2: had a 12-yard touchdown, his second of the year, and
- 11:29Speaker 2: he is with Bucky Brooks right now.
- 11:33Speaker 3: Hey, Buck.
- 11:34Speaker 2: Oh, we're still waiting on him. He will be there quickly. Hey, listen, storyline.
- 11:38Speaker 2: is that Josh Cameron appeared to get Brian Thomas Jr.
- 11:41Speaker 3: 's reps today.
- 11:42Speaker 6: I'll tell you what, he caught another bullet from a
- 11:45Speaker 6: heck of a pass by Trevor Lawrence as far as
- 11:48Speaker 6: that's concerned. So, again, he's making plays at a mature
- 11:51Speaker 6: level as a young rookie.
- 11:53Speaker 2: He's not going to run away from anyone, Mike. I mean,
- 11:54Speaker 2: that's not his game like Brian can really run. But
- 11:57Speaker 2: he's a big guy with sure hands, and the quarterback
- 12:00Speaker 2: obviously likes to throw to him, and he's now with
- 12:02Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks.
- 12:03Speaker 7: Hello, Buck. God, man. Another day, another tub.
- 12:08Speaker 8: Yes.
- 12:08Speaker 9: So, hey, being a rookie, having an opportunity to jump
- 12:12Speaker 9: in the rotation, why have you been able to quickly
- 12:14Speaker 9: pick up the offense and contribute?
- 12:16Speaker 11: I mean, I think that just kind of goes back
- 12:18Speaker 11: to even before I got drafted here. That was something
- 12:20Speaker 11: I was kind of marking myself on, just being a
- 12:22Speaker 11: smart guy that can play multiple positions, can plug and play,
- 12:25Speaker 11: and just kind of be wherever, also contribute on teams.
- 12:27Speaker 11: So kind of hit the ground running as soon as
- 12:30Speaker 11: I got here, was in our playbook every day, just
- 12:32Speaker 11: getting after it. building that trust with the coaches first
- 12:35Speaker 11: and then obviously with Trevor. And then that's just kind
- 12:38Speaker 11: of a result of what you've kind of seen over
- 12:40Speaker 11: the months and just how I've been here for real.
- 12:42Speaker 9: It has to be great that the quarterback depends on you,
- 12:45Speaker 9: particularly down in the red zone.
- 12:46Speaker 7: I saw the bullet. I'm still trying to figure out
- 12:47Speaker 7: how you caught the ball against Cleveland because.
- 12:49Speaker 9: I still haven't seen how it came through the thick
- 12:51Speaker 9: of the arms. But then this one today, catching the
- 12:53Speaker 9: ball in the middle. Why are you so comfortable catching
- 12:55Speaker 9: the ball in the ashes with all the bodies around you?
- 12:57Speaker 11: Yeah, that's actually funny because I started working that like
- 13:01Speaker 11: on the jugs. I got to get like a little
- 13:03Speaker 11: pop up because before I just kind of catch jugs
- 13:05Speaker 11: with no body pressure around. And I saw a video
- 13:08Speaker 11: on that. I said, let me try to improvise that.
- 13:10Speaker 11: Start getting kind of used to that. So I literally
- 13:12Speaker 11: have like a little dummy and I just kind of
- 13:14Speaker 11: get that body pressure, get that feel type deal.
- 13:16Speaker 10: So that's just.
- 13:17Speaker 11: Kind of been showing off the hard work I've been
- 13:19Speaker 11: putting in, kind of in the dark hours for sure,
- 13:21Speaker 11: and it's been working for sure.
- 13:23Speaker 9: Well, the other thing's been working. I saw you almost
- 13:24Speaker 9: get loose on a kickoff return. How close are we
- 13:27Speaker 9: to being able to take one to the grip?
- 13:28Speaker 7: Oh, yeah.
- 13:29Speaker 3: We're going to get it.
- 13:30Speaker 7: We're going to get it for sure.
- 13:31Speaker 11: We're just right there, and we're just going to keep
- 13:33Speaker 11: on hitting the ground, running, keep on taking it step
- 13:35Speaker 11: by step. I mean, that's all we can do, just
- 13:37Speaker 11: kind of improve each and every week. And that's what
- 13:39Speaker 11: we've been doing. That's what we're going to go do.
- 13:41Speaker 7: Okay, so last thing.
- 13:42Speaker 9: You have been talking about, like, working on things in
- 13:44Speaker 9: practice and seeing you show up in games. I heard
- 13:46Speaker 9: Liam talk to the team about a practice performance becomes
- 13:49Speaker 9: game reality.
- 13:50Speaker 7: What was different in practice this week?
- 13:52Speaker 11: Competitiveness, drive, everybody on their screws. There was no complacency.
- 13:58Speaker 11: There was no complaining. Everybody was getting after it. As
- 14:00Speaker 11: soon as we got to– we started with Mamba Pier,
- 14:02Speaker 11: which is good on good. Guys were getting after it.
- 14:04Speaker 11: Guys were– You know what I'm saying? Competing through the ground,
- 14:08Speaker 11: like treating it like an actual game type deal. That
- 14:10Speaker 11: was the biggest difference. And so we know what we
- 14:13Speaker 11: need to do. We know we've seen it pay off.
- 14:16Speaker 11: And so now it's about continuing to do that. Come
- 14:19Speaker 11: with that same mindset, win, lose, or draw. It doesn't matter.
- 14:22Speaker 11: Come in that next week, that same competitive mindset, because
- 14:25Speaker 11: that's what's going to show up, obviously, on the field.
- 14:27Speaker 7: So, look, man, we're looking forward to it. Enjoy your
- 14:29Speaker 7: victory Monday.
- 14:30Speaker 8: Yes, sir.
- 14:30Speaker 7: We look forward to seeing you next weekend.
- 14:31Speaker 3: For sure. Appreciate you.

- 14:44Speaker 2: slash jaguars. Mike, how about the stat line for Josh Cameron?
- 14:47Speaker 2: Three games, three catches, two touchdowns.
- 14:50Speaker 5: Yeah, look, they know how to use him. Like you said,
- 14:52Speaker 5: he's a different kind of receiver than Brian Thomas, but
- 14:55Speaker 5: he's difficult to bring down his own way. Brian's going
- 14:57Speaker 5: to run away from you. Josh Cameron can run right
- 15:00Speaker 5: through you and I think you're right. The storyline, as
- 15:03Speaker 5: far as that goes, is that Brian had one target today.
- 15:07Speaker 5: He caught it. He turned it upfield, made a nice
- 15:09Speaker 5: little play out of it. But we didn't even see
- 15:11Speaker 5: him out on the field very much, Fred, as the
- 15:14Speaker 5: game went on. And a little bit more for Cameron.
- 15:17Speaker 5: Certainly there were more targets for Jacoby and Brenton Strange today.
- 15:20Speaker 5: And you saw Travis Hunter maybe taking a few of
- 15:22Speaker 5: those reps as well.
- 15:23Speaker 3: Yeah, Mike.
- 15:24Speaker 4: You know, in the NFL, what coaches look for is dependability, reliability, consistency. And,
- 15:30Speaker 4: you know, I mean, Josh being drafted in the sixth
- 15:34Speaker 4: round has nothing to do with today. That's all old news.
- 15:37Speaker 4: It's about what can you do for me now. And
- 15:40Speaker 4: he's shown to be reliable, to be a big target
- 15:42Speaker 4: for Trevor. He was open early in the game on
- 15:45Speaker 4: the speed out that Trevor missed him. But he was open.
- 15:47Speaker 4: And you have to get open. But more importantly, you
- 15:49Speaker 4: have to catch the ball. And he's shown that.
- 15:52Speaker 3: So that will get him more opportunities.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Jaguars win 35-6 at Everbank Stadium in Week 3, 2-1,
- 15:57Speaker 2: and in first place in the AFC South as they
- 16:00Speaker 2: get set to head to Cincinnati next week. We'll take
- 16:03Speaker 2: a break. The final score again, 35-6. You're listening to
- 16:05Speaker 2: Jaguars Postgame on the Jaguars Radio Network. protected the court
- 16:13Speaker 2: welcome back to the jaguars post game show brian sexton
- 16:16Speaker 2: mark duffner mike debsey and the great fred taylor here
- 16:20Speaker 2: with you jaguars post game brought to you by geha
- 16:23Speaker 2: government employees health association benefits for federal employees and retirees
- 16:27Speaker 2: and coach we talked all week long about the line
- 16:29Speaker 2: of scrimmage and how the jaguars did not win it
- 16:32Speaker 2: last week in the loss in denver today your estimation
- 16:36Speaker 2: obviously they won it did they win it convincingly.
- 16:38Speaker 6: They won it conventionally. And, again, that was a major challenge.
- 16:41Speaker 6: When you watched the Pittsburgh-New England game last week, New
- 16:44Speaker 6: England dominated the line of scrimmage on both sides of
- 16:46Speaker 6: the ball against a good Pittsburgh team, which, by the way,
- 16:49Speaker 6: beat Cincinnati today. When you look at what our offensive
- 16:52Speaker 6: line did in terms of the running game, opening the
- 16:55Speaker 6: holes for Tootin and Rodriguez, and then protection for Trevor
- 16:59Speaker 6: with one sack today, heck of a job by the O-line.
- 17:01Speaker 6: And then the defensive line, again, taking, I thought of,
- 17:05Speaker 6: a pretty potent running attack with Henderson and Stevenson right now,
- 17:09Speaker 6: and really continuing to play the top-level run defense that
- 17:12Speaker 6: our front does. So well done by both fronts.
- 17:15Speaker 2: And let's go down and hear from the head coach,
- 17:17Speaker 2: Liam Cohen, with Bucky Brooks.
- 17:18Speaker 8: Buck.
- 17:19Speaker 9: Coach, normally my standard question is, hey, your thoughts on today.
- 17:22Speaker 9: But I want to go back to something we talked
- 17:23Speaker 9: about at the end of the game last week. You
- 17:25Speaker 9: talked about practice performance becoming game reality. And when I
- 17:28Speaker 9: talked to a bunch of players, they talked about the
- 17:30Speaker 9: difference was We practice like we should practice, and we
- 17:33Speaker 9: play like we ought to play.
- 17:34Speaker 7: Talk about that.
- 17:34Speaker 12: Yeah, it's a direct correlation. I mean, sometimes, right, like
- 17:38Speaker 12: you can maybe not have a great practice week but
- 17:41Speaker 12: still play really well.
- 17:42Speaker 7: But it's never.
- 17:43Speaker 12: Usually like you don't practice, you know, so bad and
- 17:47Speaker 12: play well. That doesn't usually happen. And I thought we
- 17:51Speaker 12: did what we were supposed to do this week. Like
- 17:53Speaker 12: we had our best Friday's practice maybe in a year
- 17:56Speaker 12: and three games that I've been here in terms of, Intentionality, details, effort,
- 18:03Speaker 12: tight coverage, not allowing touchdowns, not allowing completions, rushing the
- 18:09Speaker 12: passer the way we're supposed to, but then peeling off
- 18:11Speaker 12: to allow. It was just a professional practice. It was
- 18:14Speaker 12: our standard of practice. And it was really throughout the
- 18:17Speaker 12: week like those guys said we really harped on that
- 18:20Speaker 12: the guys took it the right way And so often
- 18:24Speaker 12: this game comes down to just a little tackling blocking
- 18:29Speaker 12: a little longer You know just doing those little things
- 18:31Speaker 12: and we knew against the team like New England that
- 18:33Speaker 12: does those things really well that We needed to up
- 18:36Speaker 12: that for us.
- 18:37Speaker 9: It's so interesting that you can be a really really
- 18:39Speaker 9: good team, but I forget a little bit what it
- 18:42Speaker 9: takes to be a championship squad. Going into today, quarterback
- 18:46Speaker 9: was fantastic. Trevor played really, really well. What was your
- 18:48Speaker 9: observation sideline level?
- 18:49Speaker 12: Yeah, I was very pleased with the way Trevor played today.
- 18:52Speaker 12: You know, we weren't as explosive in the past game
- 18:55Speaker 12: as we had been. Now, they've obviously been a pretty
- 18:57Speaker 12: darn good pass defense over the last couple, you know,
- 19:00Speaker 12: over last year and the first few games this year.
- 19:03Speaker 12: I think he made critical plays for us though and
- 19:06Speaker 12: took check downs and that was like a huge one
- 19:09Speaker 12: to Brenton Strange on a second and I think one
- 19:11Speaker 12: maybe when we went play action he checked it down
- 19:13Speaker 12: on the flats and it was a 25 yard gain
- 19:16Speaker 12: and so then he actually you know the one where
- 19:18Speaker 12: he's getting tackled and checks it down to Tootin which
- 19:21Speaker 12: is a huge play and so the throw to Jacoby
- 19:24Speaker 12: on a third down with somebody bearing down right on
- 19:27Speaker 12: his nose and he drills him right in the chest
- 19:30Speaker 12: and then zero blitz he hits Jacoby again later on
- 19:33Speaker 12: and The throw to Parker to catch the Parker was unbelievable.
- 19:36Speaker 12: I was just very pleased and proud of Trevor's performance
- 19:40Speaker 12: and how mentally and physically tough he played today.
- 19:43Speaker 9: Yeah, he was really into it. Situational awareness was there.
- 19:46Speaker 9: On the flip side, on defense, last week we gave
- 19:49Speaker 9: up like 10 explosives. plays by my count, but this
- 19:51Speaker 9: week we took it down. What went into their improvement
- 19:54Speaker 9: this week?
- 19:54Speaker 12: Yeah, it was, okay, what do we do best? Like,
- 19:57Speaker 12: how much can we... just run and rep what we
- 20:01Speaker 12: do best. And they got to go score and execute
- 20:05Speaker 12: against us, right? Not necessarily worrying about too much the opponent.
- 20:11Speaker 12: Our whole focus this week was it's about us. It's
- 20:14Speaker 12: about what we do well, what is our best stuff,
- 20:17Speaker 12: and let's go rep it and play it. And they
- 20:19Speaker 12: got to go play us. And so I thought during
- 20:22Speaker 12: the week of practice, we were stickier in coverage.
- 20:25Speaker 7: We had more.
- 20:26Speaker 12: Confidence in during the week in practice in terms of
- 20:29Speaker 12: our matchups and, you know, the way that the guys
- 20:32Speaker 12: played it. And so, look, you know, Denver's a good team.
- 20:36Speaker 12: You know, trust me. And they got some good wideouts
- 20:38Speaker 12: too now, right? Like they got good skill players. And
- 20:40Speaker 12: I'm not downplaying New England's. It's just that our guys
- 20:43Speaker 12: felt maybe a little bit more confident about the matchups
- 20:46Speaker 12: this week and going in, playing more man, getting in
- 20:49Speaker 12: their faces, playing a little bit more sticky in coverage.
- 20:52Speaker 12: Did they still get some things that we need to
- 20:54Speaker 12: go look at and figure out?
- 20:55Speaker 7: Yeah, they did.
- 20:55Speaker 12: But we made some critical plays, and I think our
- 20:58Speaker 12: guys were just more confident going into the week.
- 21:02Speaker 9: One of the things that I said, we talked about
- 21:03Speaker 9: Trevor playing well, but also– post-game last week, we talked about, hey,
- 21:07Speaker 9: maybe spreading it around a little bit, making sure everyone
- 21:09Speaker 9: gets some touches early so they can play late. That
- 21:12Speaker 9: showed up because you saw not only Parker, we saw
- 21:14Speaker 9: Brent Stranger, you saw Jacoby, you saw Josh Cameron show up.
- 21:18Speaker 7: For you as a play caller, how did you get
- 21:20Speaker 7: your mind into, like, okay, I got it.
- 21:21Speaker 12: That's more when I'm at my best, to be honest
- 21:23Speaker 12: with you. It's like it's harder and I make it,
- 21:26Speaker 12: you know, that was what I was frustrated with last
- 21:28Speaker 12: week was, Too much going to maybe one or two guys.
- 21:32Speaker 12: And then if it's not there, like, what do you do, right?
- 21:36Speaker 12: And if you don't have the time from a protection
- 21:39Speaker 12: standpoint to, you know, progress and get through those reads
- 21:44Speaker 12: to get to somebody else, well, yeah, the ball is
- 21:47Speaker 12: going to come out to the number one read a
- 21:49Speaker 12: lot more than it should. And I thought we protected
- 21:52Speaker 12: better today, which allowed for some of those other guys
- 21:55Speaker 12: to catch more balls. But we also targeted other guys
- 21:58Speaker 12: a little bit more as the number one priority. And so, look,
- 22:02Speaker 12: we've got to keep growing. We've got to continue to
- 22:04Speaker 12: be more explosive in the pass game, I think. But
- 22:07Speaker 12: they also play a lot soft. I mean, that's their coverage.
- 22:10Speaker 12: They play a lot of cover to Tampa, tricky two deeps,
- 22:13Speaker 12: a lot of quarters. We didn't play against a ton
- 22:16Speaker 12: of single high today. So that's hence why we were
- 22:19Speaker 12: able to run it maybe a little bit more effectively.
- 22:22Speaker 7: Last thing, how do you get ready to take?
- 22:24Speaker 9: What happened this week, show them, A, this is what
- 22:27Speaker 9: happens in game day when we practice well, to then
- 22:29Speaker 9: get ready for it.
- 22:30Speaker 7: It should be a pretty clear.
- 22:33Speaker 12: Difference of, okay, guys, look how we practice going into
- 22:37Speaker 12: Denver versus how we practice going into New England. Not
- 22:41Speaker 12: that that's just going to make everything different. It's not
- 22:44Speaker 12: going to guarantee us a win, but It's a start.
- 22:48Speaker 7: It's a start.
- 22:48Speaker 12: And we give ourselves a better chance to do that
- 22:51Speaker 12: when we go and practice the right way. When we
- 22:53Speaker 12: practice and the guys have confidence going into the game. Like, honestly,
- 22:57Speaker 12: we didn't even need Saturday's walkthrough and day to go
- 23:01Speaker 12: play this game. We were ready to do that after
- 23:04Speaker 12: Friday's practice. And that's kind of how you should feel.
- 23:07Speaker 12: You shouldn't feel like, oh, man, we need Saturday to cram.
- 23:12Speaker 12: to get ready for this game on Sunday. And that's
- 23:15Speaker 12: on both the players and the coaches to make sure
- 23:18Speaker 12: that we feel that way going into every Sunday.
- 23:20Speaker 7: Cool, man. It was great. Enjoy your victory Monday. Get
- 23:23Speaker 7: ready for a big one next week.
- 23:23Speaker 12: I appreciate it, Bucky.
- 23:24Speaker 7: Cool. Thanks, man. All right.
- 23:26Speaker 2: The head coach brought to you by GEHA, Benefits for
- 23:29Speaker 2: Federal Employees and Retirees. Now let's hear from the quarterback
- 23:31Speaker 2: who's at the podium.
- 23:34Speaker 8: I don't think you said anything. I don't know. I
- 23:38Speaker 8: don't really remember.
- 23:39Speaker 7: It wasn't anything.
- 23:40Speaker 8: Nothing crazy. Maybe he did say something.
- 23:43Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 23:44Speaker 8: But everybody's just kind of making fun of me. Yeah,
- 23:47Speaker 8: I maybe overthought that one just a little bit.
- 23:50Speaker 6: Trevor, that 15-play, eight-and-a-half-minute drive, two third downs of Jacoby
- 23:54Speaker 6: right there. How important is he in those kind of
- 23:56Speaker 6: situations where he knows where to go and when to
- 23:58Speaker 6: be there?
- 23:59Speaker 8: He's really good. You know, very dependable. Like I said,
- 24:04Speaker 8: we have a lot of chemistry. Trust him to be
- 24:07Speaker 8: in the right spot at the right time. I think
- 24:08Speaker 8: he knows everything. defenses too and coverages he knows what
- 24:11Speaker 8: he's looking at and seems like he just has a
- 24:14Speaker 8: really good feel and makes plays on the ball makes
- 24:16Speaker 8: some tough contested catches and then he had a great
- 24:19Speaker 8: you know in the red zone the one he caught
- 24:21Speaker 8: was probably he caught it like four or five yards
- 24:23Speaker 8: and then it was third and 11 so he went
- 24:25Speaker 8: and got it after the catch so you know able
- 24:27Speaker 8: to do those things as well so he's he was
- 24:29Speaker 8: great he's big in those situations.
- 24:34Speaker 13: Trevor, Wednesday we talked about they'd only allowed four of
- 24:38Speaker 13: 21 third-down conversions, only eight rushing first downs this year.
- 24:42Speaker 13: You guys shattered that today with, you know, ten first
- 24:46Speaker 13: downs on the ground and eight on third down. So
- 24:48Speaker 13: what does that mean for this football team to do
- 24:51Speaker 13: this against a really good defense?
- 24:54Speaker 8: You know, I think it's just the next step for us.
- 24:57Speaker 8: You know, it was week three, and it was just
- 24:59Speaker 8: our chance to respond and play better offensively and just– cleaner,
- 25:03Speaker 8: execute better than we did last week. And I thought
- 25:05Speaker 8: we did that against a good defense. Like you said, um,
- 25:09Speaker 8: it's NFL. I mean, every week it's, even if it's
- 25:11Speaker 8: a team, statistically, that's not a good defense. You got
- 25:13Speaker 8: to bring it every week. So, um, I think that's
- 25:16Speaker 8: a great example today. We were just ready to play.
- 25:17Speaker 8: We had a great plan. Guys were flying around at
- 25:20Speaker 8: the end of the day. It's that's what it's about
- 25:21Speaker 8: is the players executing the plan and, You've got to
- 25:24Speaker 8: have a good plan, and I feel like we did,
- 25:26Speaker 8: but it's about us going out there and owning it
- 25:28Speaker 8: and playing fast and attacking, and I thought we did
- 25:30Speaker 8: all those things today.
- 25:31Speaker 2: And they did. The Jaguars win 35-6. Trevor throws three touchdowns,
- 25:36Speaker 2: and they get two rushing touchdowns, one each from Basial
- 25:39Speaker 2: Tootin and Chris Rodriguez. They bring home the W, and
- 25:42Speaker 2: when the Jaguars win, you win with a free Whataburger.
- 25:46Speaker 2: 35-6 the final. We're back with much more of Jaguars
- 25:49Speaker 2: postgame after this on Jaguars Radio. And welcome back inside
- 25:57Speaker 2: the Hyundai Studios for more Jaguars postgame presented by GEHA.
- 26:02Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey is here. Coach Mark Duffner is here. Fred
- 26:04Speaker 2: Taylor is here. PRI Productions is the official event production
- 26:08Speaker 2: company of the Jaguars. They have everything you need to
- 26:10Speaker 2: bring your next.
- 26:11Speaker 7: Idea to life.
- 26:12Speaker 2: Visit PRIProductions.com. Playing off of that, the Jaguars passing game
- 26:16Speaker 2: was a bit of a production today, including a bunch
- 26:18Speaker 2: of different actors. Nine different guys were targeted. Seven caught
- 26:22Speaker 2: passes today.
- 26:23Speaker 12: Fred?
- 26:24Speaker 7: Fred?
- 26:24Speaker 2: It was good to see the quarterback distributing the ball.
- 26:27Speaker 2: You and I talked earlier this week and in the
- 26:29Speaker 2: pregame show about spreading the well.
- 26:31Speaker 3: Yeah, of course. And it also just speaks a lot
- 26:34Speaker 3: to Trevor.
- 26:34Speaker 4: Not only that he got the ball to several receivers,
- 26:38Speaker 4: the guys that he depends on, he trusts, as he
- 26:40Speaker 4: says there, I trust Jacoby's going to be. where he's
- 26:43Speaker 4: supposed to be, and that he's just going to go
- 26:44Speaker 4: out there and be a player and not be a robot.
- 26:48Speaker 4: But I think when you look at Trevor, today he
- 26:52Speaker 4: showed a difference. Like, he showed that he took another step.
- 26:56Speaker 4: In the face of a lot of pressure, he stood
- 26:58Speaker 4: in there. He made big-time throws, a couple third-down conversions,
- 27:03Speaker 4: knowing that the pressure was coming. He just stood in
- 27:05Speaker 4: there and executed with those guys. And he just took command.
- 27:09Speaker 4: His cadence was sharp. getting a few guys to jump
- 27:12Speaker 4: off sides, being able to just dictate everything and not
- 27:17Speaker 4: let the Patriots dictate how he was going to be
- 27:21Speaker 4: affected today as the Broncos did a week ago.
- 27:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I think really the one bad pass Trevor had,
- 27:28Speaker 5: he got away with. Marcus Jones made the diving attempt
- 27:31Speaker 5: at the interception.
- 27:31Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 27:32Speaker 5: The actual interception was off the hands of Brenton Strange.
- 27:35Speaker 5: So the one thing, though, Fred, I look at it
- 27:38Speaker 5: and I agree with you. I think Trevor took what
- 27:40Speaker 5: was there. a lot today, but 29 attempts, he only
- 27:45Speaker 5: threw for 182 yards. At some point, they've got to
- 27:47Speaker 5: get that downfield element back. If you're not going to
- 27:50Speaker 5: do it with Brian Thomas Jr., maybe you need to
- 27:52Speaker 5: incorporate Travis Hunter a little bit more into this offense,
- 27:55Speaker 5: but they didn't really have that shot play in the offense.
- 27:59Speaker 3: You want to be able to have that.
- 28:00Speaker 4: Even Liam spoke to it, said he was beautiful in
- 28:04Speaker 4: his execution in terms of taking advantage of the checkdowns,
- 28:07Speaker 4: and you want to do that. You want to play
- 28:09Speaker 4: Smart football, you eventually have teams that will come in
- 28:11Speaker 4: here and say, look, they're not going to take any
- 28:13Speaker 4: deep shots. Let's go and play them tight and force
- 28:16Speaker 4: them to take a deep shot. But as long as
- 28:19Speaker 4: he's being efficient in his decision making and not having
- 28:24Speaker 4: turnovers where you can protect the ball, put it on
- 28:27Speaker 4: your foot. You have a Logan Cook, a great punter.
- 28:31Speaker 4: You can flip the field and go out there and
- 28:33Speaker 4: play great defense. You know, the defense is going to
- 28:35Speaker 4: get you the ball back. And as you shrink the field,
- 28:38Speaker 4: with a kicker as good as Cam Little, you can
- 28:41Speaker 4: take those three. You can play the field position game
- 28:44Speaker 4: and just keep the other team off the board. That
- 28:46Speaker 4: can win you a lot of games as long as
- 28:48Speaker 4: you don't force it and force turnovers.
- 28:51Speaker 3: You give yourself a shot to win.
- 28:53Speaker 2: By the way, did you think that Cam Little's attempt
- 28:55Speaker 2: was good there for about, I don't know, a second?
- 28:57Speaker 5: I thought it was going to start drawing in there.
- 28:59Speaker 3: Yeah, just a slight right, just a little bit off.
- 29:03Speaker 4: But the leg, he had plenty of leg, and he'll
- 29:06Speaker 4: get a few of those shots Forbid, I mean, if
- 29:09Speaker 4: the situation arises.
- 29:11Speaker 2: Just want to point this out. Jaguars went punt-punt to
- 29:13Speaker 2: start the game, and then they took the early lead
- 29:15Speaker 2: with a touchdown. Then there was the interception on the
- 29:17Speaker 2: next drive, but then it was touchdown, the missed 70-yard
- 29:19Speaker 2: field goal. But how about this? Their first three drives.
- 29:22Speaker 2: It's a 14-3 game at half coach, and they went touchdown, touchdown, touchdown,
- 29:27Speaker 2: game over.
- 29:28Speaker 6: I mean, really good execution across the board. And what
- 29:31Speaker 6: Coach said, again, it showed up in their practice plan,
- 29:33Speaker 6: the way they did things, carried it over into the game,
- 29:35Speaker 6: that's what you're looking for as a football team.
- 29:38Speaker 2: In his last five home games he has 15 touchdowns
- 29:41Speaker 2: does trevor and one interception the one today that went
- 29:45Speaker 2: off of brenton strange.
- 29:46Speaker 6: Fingertips here's what i want to say i thought he
- 29:48Speaker 6: held up tremendously against pressure i mean jeez oh pete
- 29:52Speaker 6: people were in his face at times and again the
- 29:54Speaker 6: poise the confidence the that he displayed as far as
- 29:57Speaker 6: that's concerned was excellent.
- 29:58Speaker 2: The third down and 11 throw after they had the
- 30:03Speaker 2: penalties that backed them up. Remember they had the ball
- 30:05Speaker 2: first and goal at the three-yard line. They went back
- 30:06Speaker 2: with a couple of penalties. He stood in there and
- 30:09Speaker 2: threw that ball to Jacoby Myers on third down and 11.
- 30:12Speaker 2: That's good stuff.
- 30:13Speaker 5: He's got such arm strength because he was getting hit.
- 30:15Speaker 5: The ball came out a little wonky, but had plenty
- 30:18Speaker 5: to get to Jacoby. I just love what Jacoby did.
- 30:21Speaker 5: He squared his guy up. and then became a running back,
- 30:25Speaker 5: a la Fred Taylor. He knew where the stakes were.
- 30:29Speaker 5: A la Fred. A little exaggeration. Hyperbole.
- 30:33Speaker 6: That was against full blitz now, that throw.
- 30:36Speaker 5: Great read. Got it out on time and gave Jacoby
- 30:40Speaker 5: a chance to make a play.
- 30:41Speaker 2: Jacoby Myers and Brenton Strange had, between the two of them,
- 30:46Speaker 2: eight targets in the first two weeks. They had 13
- 30:48Speaker 2: today for 96 yards. And a touchdown. It was Myers
- 30:53Speaker 2: that made the big play in the end zone. But
- 30:55Speaker 2: Brenton Strange, on the little check down that they talked about,
- 30:58Speaker 2: the coach and Bucky Brooks, he left a defender and
- 31:01Speaker 2: picked up 23 yards on a scoring drive.
- 31:03Speaker 3: Yeah, he needed that.
- 31:04Speaker 4: After, as Mike, you talked about the balls coming off
- 31:07Speaker 4: his fingertip, that led to an interception. But the defense
- 31:10Speaker 4: played great right there to be able to stand up
- 31:13Speaker 4: and not allow a score. Brenton, one of my favorite
- 31:18Speaker 4: players on the team. Again, another guy who's dependable. great
- 31:21Speaker 4: in the run game, great in the pass game, to
- 31:24Speaker 4: be able to take a short check down and turn
- 31:26Speaker 4: it up to make it a big play.
- 31:28Speaker 3: The offense needs a player like that.
- 31:30Speaker 6: How about Mr. Dependable Jacoby Myers? Eleven targets this season,
- 31:34Speaker 6: ten catches. Seven of eight today.
- 31:36Speaker 3: I mean, wow.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Great stuff. Really, really good stuff. We've got much more ahead,
- 31:40Speaker 2: including an Everbank stats check. We've got plenty to tell
- 31:43Speaker 2: you about the defense. We'll take a quick timeout from

- 32:23Speaker 14: My daughter Alyssa was in a terrible car accident. She
- 32:26Speaker 14: had to be airlifted to the hospital. Her ankle was smashed.
- 32:30Speaker 14: Her bones were broken beyond repair. Her doctors were worried
- 32:34Speaker 14: they might have to amputate, but Alyssa was a candidate
- 32:36Speaker 14: for a new innovation to save her foot. They 3D
- 32:39Speaker 14: printed a new ankle. She'd tell you about it, but
- 32:43Speaker 14: she's out walking on the beach.

- 33:58Speaker 2: This is Jaguars Postgame presented by GEHA. I'm Brian Sexton,
- 34:03Speaker 2: Fred Taylor, Mike Dempsey, Mark Duffner, all here inside the
- 34:07Speaker 2: Hyundai Studios.
- 34:08Speaker 5: And let's get an Everbank stats check. Some interesting ones here.
- 34:12Speaker 5: Both teams ran 60 plays today. And the Patriots outgained
- 34:15Speaker 5: the Jags by two yards. 317 to 315. Obviously, the Jags.
- 34:19Speaker 5: took advantage of their red zone opportunities today, picking up
- 34:23Speaker 5: 23 first downs overall to New England's 17 on the day.
- 34:28Speaker 5: And passing yardage was in favor of the Drake May-led
- 34:32Speaker 5: Patriots because they were playing from behind a lot, 234
- 34:34Speaker 5: to 178. The Jags, though, on the ground, 137 total
- 34:39Speaker 5: to only 83 rushing yards. Seven penalties, that's too many
- 34:43Speaker 5: for Liam Cohen's squad for 56 yards, but they're offset
- 34:46Speaker 5: by nine for 68 yards. On the other side, Jags
- 34:49Speaker 5: ended up with almost a four-minute time of possession advantage.
- 34:53Speaker 5: Now looking at some of the individual numbers for Jacksonville today,
- 34:56Speaker 5: Trevor Lawrence, 19 of 29, 182 yards, three touchdowns, an interception,
- 35:01Speaker 5: a 103 quarterback rating, passer rating, could have run for
- 35:05Speaker 5: a touchdown as well. Kind of weird. Eight and a
- 35:09Speaker 5: half minutes left. There's no need to take a knee
- 35:11Speaker 5: at the one-yard line and run that one in, but
- 35:12Speaker 5: it didn't matter. Basil Tootin, the beneficiary, who had 17
- 35:16Speaker 5: carries for 73 yards, he got the touchdown on the
- 35:18Speaker 5: ensuing play. Chris Rodriguez also got into the end zone today.
- 35:21Speaker 5: Eight for 37 on the ground for Searod and a
- 35:25Speaker 5: score there. Jacoby Myers led the way with seven grabs
- 35:29Speaker 5: for 64 yards on eight targets. He got into the
- 35:31Speaker 5: end zone, as did Parker Washington. Spectacular diving touchdown grab
- 35:36Speaker 5: after it. The previous play was negated, would have been
- 35:38Speaker 5: a touchdown as well, negated by penalty. Parker ended up
- 35:41Speaker 5: with three for 40 with a touchdown. Brenton Strange, three
- 35:44Speaker 5: for 32. Tootin caught two out of the backfield. LaQuint
- 35:48Speaker 5: Allen caught a couple as well. Brian Thomas and Josh Cameron,
- 35:51Speaker 5: one catch apiece. Of course, Cameron's came in the end zone.
- 35:54Speaker 5: Overall tackle leader on the day was Ventrell Miller with
- 35:57Speaker 5: seven for the Jaguars, four of those solo, a sack
- 36:01Speaker 5: for Ruka Rororo, and officially Devon Hamilton and Brian Thomas Jr.,
- 36:06Speaker 5: Brian with a Y, splitting the other one down by
- 36:09Speaker 5: the goal line. Jarrion Jones had an interception, as did
- 36:12Speaker 5: Travis Hunter today as the Jags led the way with
- 36:16Speaker 5: three turnovers to only offset by one of their own.
- 36:20Speaker 5: And Cam Little, This is his only field goal attempt.
- 36:23Speaker 2: We'll allow it.
- 36:24Speaker 5: From 70 yards out. Had the leg, as Freddie T said,
- 36:27Speaker 5: probably would have been good from about 74 yards had
- 36:30Speaker 5: it been through the uprights.
- 36:32Speaker 2: Jack, seven takeaways on the season.
- 36:36Speaker 3: Pretty impressive.
- 36:37Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's very impressive, and that's what you need,
- 36:40Speaker 4: and that was the tale of the tape today. Mike
- 36:42Speaker 4: just mentioned that the statistical difference was a two-yard difference
- 36:46Speaker 4: pass-out game, but The bigger picture is, obviously, third down,
- 36:51Speaker 4: the Jags were 7-12 for 58%.
- 36:53Speaker 3: They doubled what the Pats did. But the turnovers.
- 36:57Speaker 4: If you can come out of a game plus in
- 37:00Speaker 4: the turnover ratio, you give yourself a greater opportunity to win.
- 37:06Speaker 2: Jaguars, 35-6 winners today. And a couple of different things
- 37:09Speaker 2: that stood out. First of all, after the missed field
- 37:12Speaker 2: goal in the third quarter, they went right down the
- 37:14Speaker 2: field and scored. I mean, talk about just whether it was–
- 37:18Speaker 2: The interception in the end zone right before the half
- 37:21Speaker 2: by Travis Hunter or the missed field goal and then
- 37:24Speaker 2: the Jaguars subsequent touchdown. I mean, the Jaguars deflated the
- 37:27Speaker 2: game in that middle eight moment, right? The last four
- 37:31Speaker 2: minutes of the first half, first four minutes of the
- 37:33Speaker 2: second half, Jags took control of it.
- 37:35Speaker 5: You know, it deflated the game coach, deflated the Patriots.
- 37:38Speaker 5: I mean, you know, you're getting those stops in the
- 37:40Speaker 5: red zone. That's one thing. It was their own fault
- 37:42Speaker 5: they missed the field goal, but the Jags go on
- 37:45Speaker 5: a quarter killing drive there. Their first drive of the
- 37:48Speaker 5: second half, they basically left a minute left on the clock,
- 37:51Speaker 5: and by that point, the way the Patriots were struggling
- 37:53Speaker 5: to score, it would have taken a collapse or multiple
- 37:57Speaker 5: turnovers by the Jaguar offense to let them back in.
- 37:59Speaker 6: No question about that, and that was an eight-minute drive
- 38:02Speaker 6: that you were talking about right now. I mean, they
- 38:04Speaker 6: did an excellent job of of controlling the football. That's
- 38:07Speaker 6: the best defense you got when you hold on to
- 38:09Speaker 6: the football like we did against them.
- 38:10Speaker 2: All right, folks, it's time for you to get to Culver's.
- 38:15Speaker 2: If you can get there before Coach Duffner, right? He
- 38:18Speaker 2: wants coached in Wisconsin. He knows the value of free

- 41:03Speaker 2: in the western region of the Jaguars listening area. We
- 41:06Speaker 2: pause now 10 seconds for station identification. You're listening to
- 41:10Speaker 2: Jaguars football on the Jaguars Radio Network. All right, it's
- 41:23Speaker 2: time for Jaguars Radio Network player of the game voting.
- 41:26Speaker 2: And I just, I get it. The quarterback was really,
- 41:30Speaker 2: really good today. Fred, Mark, and Mike, three touchdowns. However,
- 41:37Speaker 2: I think we have to nominate Devon Hamilton. He had
- 41:42Speaker 2: a fumble recovery. He had a forced fumble. He dominated inside.
- 41:50Speaker 2: Had a sack, half a sack. I think he split
- 41:52Speaker 2: it with the With Brian with a Y? I am
- 41:56Speaker 2: nominating him.
- 41:57Speaker 3: He gets my vote. Fair enough.
- 41:59Speaker 2: Your thoughts on Devon Hamilton?
- 42:01Speaker 6: Oh, I thought he played a dynamic game. I mean,
- 42:04Speaker 6: and he continues to. He's Mr. Consistent. Every game he's
- 42:07Speaker 6: showing up, controlling the line of scrimmage and making plays.
- 42:10Speaker 6: He's not just using up blockers. He's getting off blocks
- 42:12Speaker 6: to the tune of five tackles, you said, and activity
- 42:15Speaker 6: in terms of forced fumble and fumble recovery. I mean,
- 42:17Speaker 6: what else do you want? The guy's playing great.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Five tackles for a nose tackle?
- 42:21Speaker 10: That's a lot.
- 42:22Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I think if you can look at Devon
- 42:25Speaker 4: and if he can push the pocket, because we know
- 42:27Speaker 4: our two bookends are going to create pressure and force
- 42:30Speaker 4: the quarterbacks to step up. But if we can get
- 42:32Speaker 4: some activity right there in the interior by the big guy,
- 42:35Speaker 4: then the quarterback's going to have a rough day. as
- 42:38Speaker 4: we saw with Drake May today. So I don't mind
- 42:41Speaker 4: giving him my vote.
- 42:43Speaker 2: You'll vote half.
- 42:44Speaker 3: It's over.
- 42:46Speaker 2: It's over right now.
- 42:47Speaker 3: Hold the thought.
- 42:48Speaker 5: Yeah, let's get Fred to choose from the menu. Because
- 42:53Speaker 5: I have a feeling we're all going to have different candidates.
- 42:55Speaker 3: I'll slow down a bit. I'll tempo it out.
- 42:58Speaker 2: All right, thank you, Fred.
- 42:58Speaker 3: Appreciate that.
- 42:59Speaker 2: Mike, the Jaguars, and another reason why.
- 43:04Speaker 2: I thought so highly of his day. We talked all
- 43:06Speaker 2: week long about the two-headed monster of Trevion Henderson and
- 43:11Speaker 2: Ramondre Stevenson. 15 carries, 45 yards. Three yards a pop.
- 43:17Speaker 2: Yards a pop. And there were a lot of guys.
- 43:19Speaker 2: Ventrell Miller led the team in tackles. Ruka Rororo was
- 43:22Speaker 2: big up front, as always, Foye Aluacon. But it just
- 43:25Speaker 2: felt like any time they wanted to run from the
- 43:28Speaker 2: inside shoulder of the tackle to the inside shoulder of
- 43:31Speaker 2: the tackle, Big number 52 is there.
- 43:33Speaker 5: And they never let Travian Henderson get loose because he's
- 43:36Speaker 5: got that speed that can flip a game. Five yards
- 43:39Speaker 5: was the longest rush for either Henderson or Ramondre Stevenson today.
- 43:43Speaker 5: And there were a couple of those where they picked
- 43:45Speaker 5: up five. You're like, oh, man, got to get them,
- 43:47Speaker 5: you know, hold them to two. But if that's the
- 43:49Speaker 5: longest they have all day, that is extremely impressive. So
- 43:53Speaker 5: and by the way. You know, your other starting defensive
- 43:55Speaker 5: tackle is not getting much pressure. So Devon Hamilton is
- 43:59Speaker 5: taking up some of the slack there for Eric Armstead.
- 44:01Speaker 2: And just to put it all in context, Corey Kiner,
- 44:05Speaker 2: who was in at the very end, just garbage time,
- 44:07Speaker 2: running the clock, six carries for 18 yards. I mean,
- 44:11Speaker 2: so he was able to get it done against backups,
- 44:14Speaker 2: but the two big guys couldn't get it done today.
- 44:17Speaker 2: At one point, the Jaguars just, I mean, they were
- 44:19Speaker 2: holding these guys to 2.6, 2.7 yards per carry. going
- 44:22Speaker 2: to be important in the weeks ahead, especially when you
- 44:25Speaker 2: see Saquon Barkley in a few weeks and Jalen Hurts.
- 44:30Speaker 7: No question.
- 44:30Speaker 5: We've got to vote for Devon Hamilton, Coach. Who are
- 44:32Speaker 5: you voting for for player of the game?
- 44:35Speaker 6: I love Devon, and I certainly– Coach, I thought I
- 44:38Speaker 6: saw you. Well, no, I love him, and I'm for him.
- 44:41Speaker 6: But I have to say Trevor Lawrence played a hell
- 44:43Speaker 6: of a damn game. And under, again, a lot of
- 44:45Speaker 6: duress at times and poise. Some of the throws he made, geez, Pete,
- 44:50Speaker 6: with full pressure against him, I thought were exceptional. So,
- 44:53Speaker 6: I mean, I'm going to go for him. I'm going
- 44:55Speaker 6: to throw out.
- 44:56Speaker 7: An honorable mention.
- 44:56Speaker 2: It's going to be hard for a linebacker's coach to
- 44:58Speaker 2: give it to the quarterback. When a big nose tackle
- 45:01Speaker 2: finally gets some credit.
- 45:02Speaker 5: Don't take my honorable mention, coach.
- 45:04Speaker 6: Don't take it. Okay, okay. I was going to throw
- 45:06Speaker 6: something else.
- 45:06Speaker 7: I know you are.
- 45:07Speaker 6: Okay, you want me to hold.
- 45:08Speaker 7: On that too?
- 45:08Speaker 5: You can agree with that. I have a feeling I
- 45:09Speaker 5: know which way you're going.
- 45:11Speaker 3: So go with him.
- 45:11Speaker 2: Tell us who you got.
- 45:12Speaker 5: I'm going to go with Basil Tootin. Is that your guy?
- 45:14Speaker 6: That is it.
- 45:14Speaker 5: All right. And the reason I want a coach to
- 45:16Speaker 5: go first because– I would have voted for the other one.
- 45:19Speaker 5: I want to put it in Freddie's hands here. In
- 45:21Speaker 5: all seriousness, I think Trevor Lawrence is a very strong
- 45:25Speaker 5: candidate for player of the game. Basial Tootin had 17 touches,
- 45:29Speaker 5: 90 yards today, and a touchdown. You feel it's coming, man.
- 45:33Speaker 5: You feel it's coming. He showed the power and the speed.
- 45:37Speaker 5: Particularly that one play. Could have been stopped for a
- 45:38Speaker 5: six-yard loss. He outruns the defender, stiff arms him to
- 45:42Speaker 5: the ground, and gained six on that in the red zone.
- 45:45Speaker 5: That was a huge play. at that point in time.
- 45:47Speaker 5: So I'm going to go with Basil Toot and Freddie
- 45:49Speaker 5: T and put it all on you.
- 45:51Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I'm going to stick with the big guy
- 45:53Speaker 3: in the trenches.
- 45:54Speaker 4: I mean, Brian brings him up, and then when you
- 45:57Speaker 4: look at it, you kind of have to back out
- 45:59Speaker 4: and say, man, he really was very impressive today. And
- 46:02Speaker 4: if we're going to say anything, the defense would be
- 46:05Speaker 4: on the radar for, well, I don't want to point fingers, right?
- 46:09Speaker 4: Because offense could have played better to finish the game
- 46:12Speaker 4: out and had some momentum. But the defense this week, look,
- 46:16Speaker 4: We're going to put this on our shoulder. We're going
- 46:18Speaker 4: to find a way to close out games, especially after
- 46:20Speaker 4: having such a big lead last week. And it starts
- 46:23Speaker 4: with the big guys in the trenches, then the bookends,
- 46:25Speaker 4: and being.
- 46:26Speaker 3: Able to create that pressure.
- 46:27Speaker 2: It was a storyline all week.
- 46:27Speaker 4: And shut down a past team who had been averaging around,
- 46:32Speaker 4: I believe, 15 points per game.
- 46:34Speaker 3: And today you give up six.
- 46:36Speaker 4: Not only that, you're dictating how the games are being
- 46:39Speaker 4: started at a clip of about two points per first half.
- 46:44Speaker 4: averaging two points per half. So, I mean, give it
- 46:47Speaker 4: to the big guy.
- 46:48Speaker 2: He deserves it. And by the way, the Jaguars defense
- 46:50Speaker 2: in the red zone today. The Patriots had three trips
- 46:53Speaker 2: to the red zone. They had one field goal and
- 46:57Speaker 2: no touchdown.
- 46:57Speaker 7: Goose egg.
- 46:58Speaker 2: We'll give it to Devon Hamilton. Devon, you probably won't
- 47:01Speaker 2: get another one no matter how well you play the.
- 47:02Speaker 3: Rest of the year. So we'll take it for.
- 47:05Speaker 2: What it's worth.
- 47:07Speaker 7: All right.
- 47:07Speaker 2: We'll come back with the UF Health Injury Report and
- 47:10Speaker 2: so much more. You are listening to Jaguars Post Game
- 47:13Speaker 2: presented by GEHA from the Hyundai Studios. This is Jaguars Radio.
- 47:23Speaker 2: We return to the Jaguars postgame show presented by GEHA. Brian, Mike, Fred,
- 47:28Speaker 2: and Mark Dufter from the Hyundai Studios. Time for the
- 47:30Speaker 2: injury report. Presented by UF Health, the official healthcare partner
- 47:34Speaker 2: of the Jacksonville Jaguars. They came into the game largely healthy.
- 47:38Speaker 2: The only name on the injury report, actually, the only
- 47:40Speaker 2: name on the inactive list was Albert Regis, the third-round
- 47:45Speaker 2: pick out of Texas A & M who got an elbow,
- 47:47Speaker 2: got dinged up in practice yesterday. late in the week.
- 47:50Speaker 2: But today, the only guy I really remember being an
- 47:53Speaker 2: injury was Devon Hamilton, who got kicked below the waist.
- 47:57Speaker 2: And that hurts, as anyone who is male will attest to.
- 48:01Speaker 5: Doesn't hurt until you move.
- 48:02Speaker 14: Yep.
- 48:03Speaker 2: And so as a result, the Jaguars have an opportunity
- 48:06Speaker 2: to have their whole team with them next week, perhaps.
- 48:09Speaker 5: Pretty good.
- 48:10Speaker 6: Praise God. You don't know who comes in tomorrow.
- 48:12Speaker 2: Morning sore, those kinds of things.
- 48:13Speaker 5: But Look, it's a big key to last year's success, right?
- 48:16Speaker 5: Let's be honest, right? You lost Travis Hunter for half
- 48:18Speaker 5: the season, but, you know, until late when you lost
- 48:20Speaker 5: Jordan Lewis, you were pretty intact for most of the year. And,
- 48:25Speaker 5: you know, knock on wood, you're off to a pretty
- 48:27Speaker 5: good start in that department.
- 48:28Speaker 6: Big time salute to our training staff and medical staff.
- 48:31Speaker 2: The Injury Report is brought to you each week by
- 48:33Speaker 2: UF Health, the official healthcare partner of the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 48:37Speaker 2: We have one more break to take. We'll take it now.
- 48:39Speaker 2: We'll come back with a preview of next Sunday's game
- 48:42Speaker 2: in Cincinnati. And we happen to have a man who
- 48:44Speaker 2: was coaching there very recently here to tell us his
- 48:47Speaker 2: thoughts on the Bengals. We're back with one final segment
- 48:50Speaker 2: of Jaguars postgame after this quick pause. You're listening on
- 48:53Speaker 2: the Jaguars Radio Network. All right, back to wrap things up,
- 49:00Speaker 2: by the way. Home games, there is a 50-50 raffle,
- 49:04Speaker 2: and it is brought to you by number one, Duval Ford.
- 49:08Speaker 2: Mark Duffner, you know the Bengals better than anyone in
- 49:11Speaker 2: this room. Give us a quick two-minute summary of what
- 49:14Speaker 2: the game plan looks like against that team.
- 49:16Speaker 6: Well, I think that first and foremost, we have to
- 49:19Speaker 6: shrink the game. game, and part of that's going to
- 49:21Speaker 6: be our offense controlling the football, running pass, staying on
- 49:25Speaker 6: the field, keeping their offense off the field. That's our
- 49:27Speaker 6: best defense. You've got an explosive offense over there with
- 49:31Speaker 6: Joe Burrow leading the charge. I mean, today I think
- 49:35Speaker 6: he threw for almost 300 yards. They've got Two explosive
- 49:39Speaker 6: receivers in Jamar Chase, one of the best in the league,
- 49:41Speaker 6: if not the best, T.
- 49:42Speaker 7: Higgins.
- 49:43Speaker 6: Excellent receiving tight end in Jasicki. They're loaded on offense.
- 49:47Speaker 6: High-scoring type team. Had a prolific game today with 27 points,
- 49:52Speaker 6: but got bested by the Steelers with their 30 points.
- 49:56Speaker 6: They ran the ball well. The Bengals' defense is better
- 49:59Speaker 6: than it was last year. Dexter Lawrence has made a
- 50:03Speaker 6: strong addition to their defense and attitude and play itself.
- 50:07Speaker 6: We control the football. We control the line of scrimmage.
- 50:09Speaker 6: Things will look good for the Jags.
- 50:11Speaker 5: Yeah, it's interesting. They were the first team in Pittsburgh
- 50:13Speaker 5: today to run the ball on Cincinnati.
- 50:15Speaker 2: Correct.
- 50:15Speaker 5: They were excellent.
- 50:16Speaker 3: Effectively, yes.
- 50:16Speaker 2: Yeah, Warren had 127.
- 50:18Speaker 5: Yeah, he ran well, and he came in less than 100% today.
- 50:22Speaker 5: And the only disappointing thing is we were hoping Cincinnati
- 50:25Speaker 5: would have an emotional– road victory in the division to
- 50:29Speaker 5: come home and maybe have a little deflation, but you're
- 50:31Speaker 5: going to have their full attention next week.
- 50:33Speaker 6: They'll get their best shot.
- 50:34Speaker 2: Any thoughts on that one?
- 50:35Speaker 4: Well, I just remember a year ago, Joe Burrow started
- 50:39Speaker 4: a game. He left with a toe injury that left
- 50:41Speaker 4: him out for almost, well, about the entire year. And
- 50:45Speaker 4: Jake Browning came in the game and somehow pulled it
- 50:48Speaker 4: off and beat the Jaguars. It doesn't matter who's back there.
- 50:51Speaker 4: If you can't get pressure, get to the quarterback, you're
- 50:54Speaker 4: going to lose that game. So, Defensive pressure, again, has
- 50:58Speaker 4: to show up. And on the flip side, making sure
- 51:01Speaker 4: Dexter Lawrence doesn't disrupt from the interior pocket. And so
- 51:05Speaker 4: Trevor can have the ability to step up, plant his feet,
- 51:09Speaker 4: and get the ball to the receiver as he was
- 51:12Speaker 4: able to show today. I think it'll also be a
- 51:15Speaker 4: game that's decided in the trenches.
- 51:16Speaker 2: One o'clock kickoff for the Jaguars in Cincinnati next Sunday.
- 51:19Speaker 2: For Mike Dempsey, for Mark Duffner, for Fred Taylor, and
- 51:22Speaker 2: our entire broadcast crew, we are signing off on the
- 51:26Speaker 2: Jaguars radio network. For those of you on our flagship station,
- 51:30Speaker 2: 1010XL in Jacksonville, stick around. The scoreboard show is next.
- 51:34Speaker 2: Thanks for listening. Good night, everybody.
