Speaker 1: last week's stunning win. The Jaguars trailed twenty seven nothing
0:48
Speaker 1: to the Chargers and rallied to win the a f
0:50
Speaker 1: C Wild Card playoff game thirty one thirty. It's the
0:53
Speaker 1: third largest comeback win in the history of the NFL
0:56
Speaker 1: playoffs and the largest in Jaguars history. Quarterback Trivor Awrence
1:00
Speaker 1: through four first half interceptions and then later through touchdowns
1:03
Speaker 1: on four consecutive possessions from the end of the second
1:06
Speaker 1: quarter through the fourth. Trevor Lawrence after the game coach
1:10
Speaker 1: showed a video of I don't know if you guys
1:11
Speaker 1: heard of Jocko. Guys can look it up. It's this video.
1:14
Speaker 1: He talks about good and it's like, no matter what happens,
1:17
Speaker 1: that's your response. Good. You know, through four picks in
1:20
Speaker 1: the first half. Good. You know you showed that back
1:22
Speaker 1: in I don't know if it was training camp or
1:23
Speaker 1: during the season, maybe when we were on that losing strick.
1:25
Speaker 1: I don't know when it was, but I supposed been
1:27
Speaker 1: our mindset, you know. Then we say it on the
1:29
Speaker 1: sideline joking around one of the linemen for who was
1:31
Speaker 1: said to me after I threw three or four picks,
1:33
Speaker 1: he was like good, just looking at him, like all right,
1:36
Speaker 1: all right, not not the time, but you know, it's
1:38
Speaker 1: just it's just the mindset of this group. And like
1:42
Speaker 1: I said, you can't make a living on I'm doing
1:44
Speaker 1: it the hard way all the time, but it's it's
1:47
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to sometimes. And then we had to
1:49
Speaker 1: tonight and we were ever good done. Wide receivers a
1:51
Speaker 1: Jones had a key touchdown reception and after the game
1:54
Speaker 1: full confidence in the quarterback from playing football, watching football,
1:58
Speaker 1: I know a lot of quarterbacks with the full in
2:00
Speaker 1: that situation that he went through. That's tough for anybody
2:04
Speaker 1: at any level, and for him just to be as
2:08
Speaker 1: poised and composed as he was, it showed another side
2:13
Speaker 1: of who we have on this team. I mean, that
2:16
Speaker 1: guy right there, standing right there as a special man,
2:20
Speaker 1: and I'm proud to be a part of a team
2:22
Speaker 1: that he's on and I am glad that sixteen is
2:26
Speaker 1: leading us. Meaning could you tell he had thrown for
2:31
Speaker 1: just the way he kind of stays. There were signs
2:33
Speaker 1: of frustration. I'm not gonna lie but his self talk,
2:37
Speaker 1: the way he was still analyzing the game. He came
2:39
Speaker 1: over to me and was like, we can't score a
2:42
Speaker 1: twenty seven point touchdown. It's gotta be one play at
2:45
Speaker 1: a time. And he was like, all we gotta focus
2:47
Speaker 1: on is the now. Those were his words, And I
2:51
Speaker 1: have never been a part of anything like that before.
2:53
Speaker 1: That was something truly uh special as a miracle man.
2:57
Speaker 1: Glory to God that that was so awesome to the
3:00
Speaker 1: part of the man. I'm so happy the defense did
3:02
Speaker 1: their job too, allowing only one made field goal in
3:05
Speaker 1: the second half, and they got off the field and
3:07
Speaker 1: key moments linebacker, I mean the odds. I told them,
3:11
Speaker 1: I don't like my eyes, but I love my chances. Like,
3:14
Speaker 1: as long as there's a little probability of winning at all,
3:16
Speaker 1: we're gonna keep fighting. And when we saw the thing
3:18
Speaker 1: at the table starting turning, we had momentum. We kept that,
3:21
Speaker 1: just keep getting the ball back to the offense. They
3:23
Speaker 1: started rolling. Um, I don't I couldn't pinpoint in exact time,
3:27
Speaker 1: but when we started making them punt, when we started scoring,
3:30
Speaker 1: I think that we're touched down the evan maybe over
3:32
Speaker 1: the middle, you know, once we saw we had a
3:34
Speaker 1: larger chance, you know, might as well take it. First
3:37
Speaker 1: career playoff game for you, is this one, especially with
3:40
Speaker 1: the way it went, that you'll remember forever. Yeah. Probably. Yeah.
3:44
Speaker 1: That was crazy. We were down and we want I
3:46
Speaker 1: just love the way the boys came together as a
3:48
Speaker 1: team when things got hard. We went in the locker room.
3:50
Speaker 1: Everybody's pretty calm. We said, you know, we're not playing well,
3:52
Speaker 1: let's play better, and uh, everybody said, we're gonna play
3:55
Speaker 1: better for our brothers. You know, buy some more time
3:58
Speaker 1: for our brothers. And when we came together like that,
4:00
Speaker 1: everybody's accountability went up and we all played hard and
4:03
Speaker 1: you know, came out with a win. He Jorge Dug
4:05
Speaker 1: Peterson right after the game, was still exhausted from one
4:08
Speaker 1: of the wildest games he's ever experienced. Yeah, I just,
4:12
Speaker 1: um my hats off to our guys, our team. UM.
4:18
Speaker 1: I told him after the game that, you know, other
4:20
Speaker 1: than obviously winning the Super Bowl, uh a few years ago,
4:25
Speaker 1: greatest coaching victory, UM as a team, this one, this
4:29
Speaker 1: one's right up there with it. And uh, my hat's
4:32
Speaker 1: off to our guys for just battling. And uh, you know,
4:38
Speaker 1: as deep a hole as we dug in the first half,
4:40
Speaker 1: you know there was there was you guys have you
4:43
Speaker 1: know they've been around our team. You know there's no
4:44
Speaker 1: quit in our guys. And uh they did an outstanding
4:48
Speaker 1: job obviously in the second half. And uh Riley kicking
4:52
Speaker 1: a ball at the end was obviously a thing of beauty. Doug.
4:55
Speaker 1: From your perspective, having played quarterback, can you relate and
4:58
Speaker 1: give us some appreciation for what Trevor did tonight throwing
5:01
Speaker 1: four picks and then rallying back with four touchdowns to
5:04
Speaker 1: get the CAN. I sure can. I played with one
5:06
Speaker 1: of the greatest quarterbacks ever and Brett Farve, and there
5:10
Speaker 1: were times when you know, he didn't have a great
5:12
Speaker 1: first half and came back in the second half and
5:15
Speaker 1: and uh, we could light it up. And and that's
5:17
Speaker 1: what that's what I love about Trevor and and his
5:19
Speaker 1: demeanor and his aggressiveness and um, the ability to just
5:25
Speaker 1: forget and move on. Um. But he'll be the first
5:28
Speaker 1: one to tell you that it's not it's not about him.
5:31
Speaker 1: The guys around him to made made plays. Protection was good,
5:34
Speaker 1: Receivers were doing a nice job being where they needed
5:36
Speaker 1: to be. UM. But you know, from an individual standpoint,
5:40
Speaker 1: it was, Uh, this is really a great performance by
5:43
Speaker 1: our quarterback. Coach. What does it say about this team
5:47
Speaker 1: that they never flinched down that much and just kept
5:50
Speaker 1: fighting back? It's everything, you know, It's it's just what
5:54
Speaker 1: I told him at halftime. You know, it's kind of
5:55
Speaker 1: like our season, you know, and and uh, you know,
5:58
Speaker 1: we've put ourselves in a hole at times and then
6:00
Speaker 1: we've we've worked ourselves out of it at times, and
6:02
Speaker 1: and uh, just to have the resiliency and the and
6:06
Speaker 1: the fight and the desire and the um the ability
6:10
Speaker 1: to continue to play, you know, because it could have
6:12
Speaker 1: easily gone the other way, right, um. And and that's
6:16
Speaker 1: what I'm so proud of these guys. Four Um, everything's
6:20
Speaker 1: on the line, and uh, you know, they go out
6:23
Speaker 1: and get the job done. As the week moved along,
6:25
Speaker 1: players still took a moment to reflect on the historic
6:28
Speaker 1: nature of what they accomplished last week, including defensive lineman
6:31
Speaker 1: Art and Key. It was crazy. I I couldn't I
6:34
Speaker 1: didn't process until I got to the crib and man
6:38
Speaker 1: that that was. That was crazy, just the way it went.
6:41
Speaker 1: And just during the game, like the first quarter, just
6:45
Speaker 1: everything that we're going on four picks, then we had
6:47
Speaker 1: the point return head off Clay helmet. It was just
6:52
Speaker 1: a lot of stuff that was going on. It was
6:54
Speaker 1: almost I was asking God, like what's up? God? Like,
6:57
Speaker 1: this is how we would come this far and this
6:59
Speaker 1: is how we're doing it. Um. But it goes back
7:02
Speaker 1: like we don't we never waive, We keep fighting. We
7:04
Speaker 1: keep fighting to zero zero and look what happy Christian Kirk,
7:08
Speaker 1: in his weekly routine, found himself looking back. Early in
7:12
Speaker 1: the week, I watched it on tape twice, and you know,
7:15
Speaker 1: it's it's very common, especially for me. You know, I
7:18
Speaker 1: kind of clicked through it and I don't really look
7:19
Speaker 1: at you know, the time or you know, score. I
7:22
Speaker 1: kind of just look at the plays individually. And the
7:24
Speaker 1: second time around, I was able to just see, uh,
7:27
Speaker 1: it flashed up, you know, zero, and you're just like wow,
7:30
Speaker 1: you know, and you you you kind of put yourself
7:32
Speaker 1: in perspective of somebody watching the game, and you know,
7:35
Speaker 1: it's it's crazy just how it how it was all
7:37
Speaker 1: able to you know flip for us, you know, getting
7:39
Speaker 1: a score before halftime and then the second half was
7:41
Speaker 1: just you know, one for the books. But I think
7:43
Speaker 1: I said on Saturday night, I don't I don't look
7:45
Speaker 1: forward to doing that again. Sound from the locker room
7:48
Speaker 1: after last week's game, available on Jaguars dot Com. Moving
7:52
Speaker 1: now to Jaguars Happy Our Radio Monday, Pete Briscoe, Tony
7:55
Speaker 1: Boselli and I reflected two days after the comeback victory,
7:59
Speaker 1: we welcome in Tony Silly and Pete Prisco and in
8:02
Speaker 1: the most dramatic way imaginable, the rarest of rare Biselli
8:07
Speaker 1: Prisco double locks came through and remains undefeated. Good doubt. No,
8:16
Speaker 1: there was no doubt. There was no doubt. Once we
8:18
Speaker 1: double lock, we'd two and all with double locks. Now,
8:21
Speaker 1: by the way, anybody asking, no, I'm not prepared to
8:24
Speaker 1: do a double lock this week. In case you wondering, well,
8:27
Speaker 1: in full transparency, Pete might have texted me during the
8:32
Speaker 1: game when we were down twenty seven about our double
8:37
Speaker 1: lock not looking too good. I mean, you know, everybody
8:42
Speaker 1: was out there cursing you, and I got dragged in.
8:45
Speaker 1: So I wanted to make it I wanted to make
8:47
Speaker 1: it apparent to you that I just was along for
8:50
Speaker 1: the ride. That's all it was. Uh. Look, Tony said, uh,
8:55
Speaker 1: what was it twelve weeks ago that Jackson will be
8:58
Speaker 1: playing Maybe even that might have even been fifteen weeks
9:01
Speaker 1: ago that they would be playing a big nationally televised
9:05
Speaker 1: game on NBC against the Chiefs. He was just he's
9:10
Speaker 1: just a little late with that prediction. That's all. That's
9:12
Speaker 1: what they're gonna be doing. I mean I thought it was.
9:16
Speaker 1: I thought it was. It ended up being weak, but
9:20
Speaker 1: close enough, good enough, good enough. By the way, I
9:23
Speaker 1: looked up this, Jocko good Uh a, Trevor, you throw
9:27
Speaker 1: one more pick and it wasn't gonna be good. So
9:29
Speaker 1: I don't know what he's talking about. Uh you know,
9:31
Speaker 1: you know, I get it. It's like, oh good, you're okay,
9:34
Speaker 1: you can come out from underneath it. I understand that
9:36
Speaker 1: whole premise. But it wasn't good. But what was good?
9:40
Speaker 1: And we'll get into all this, but that that second
9:42
Speaker 1: half was incredible. It really was. It was remarkable to
9:46
Speaker 1: see that happened the way it did because I didn't
9:48
Speaker 1: see I didn't see it coming. Once they got one
9:51
Speaker 1: though at the end of the half, and then they
9:53
Speaker 1: got to you could almost sense the chargers chargering. It
9:58
Speaker 1: was happening before your eyes. And then they got three
10:02
Speaker 1: and then next thing, you know, okay, here they go.
10:04
Speaker 1: But I mean, it was it was amazing to watch,
10:06
Speaker 1: It really was. But Pete, the one thing, You're right,
10:10
Speaker 1: four interceptions was terrible. At one point I was like,
10:14
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, are we gonna throw ten? I mean,
10:17
Speaker 1: that was It was like one series after another turnovers
10:20
Speaker 1: that you know, it was. It was as ugly as
10:23
Speaker 1: it gets. But to me, one of the most impressive
10:26
Speaker 1: things about that game was, yes, the team that never quit.
10:32
Speaker 1: They kept on playing. Obviously great leadership from Doug. There's
10:36
Speaker 1: no doubt about all that is true. But I know
10:38
Speaker 1: you appreciate this, Pete. The mental toughness you have to
10:42
Speaker 1: have as a quarterback to go throw four picks and
10:47
Speaker 1: not going to the tank and not to have your
10:49
Speaker 1: head down. And a lot of guys and guys who've
10:54
Speaker 1: had success in this league would not have been able
10:57
Speaker 1: to do that. They wouldn't have made it. And the
11:00
Speaker 1: fact that he overcame that is so impressive to me.
11:05
Speaker 1: I agree with you, and I even set out a
11:07
Speaker 1: tweet during the game. I said, he's got that glazed overlook.
11:10
Speaker 1: And you've seen it from many a quarterback. I joke
11:12
Speaker 1: around about it with Kirk Cousins all the time. With
11:14
Speaker 1: with Rick Spielman, you see him get that look on
11:17
Speaker 1: their face and there's nothing they can do to get
11:19
Speaker 1: out from underneath it. Well, he got it and he
11:23
Speaker 1: came out from underneath it. That doesn't happen, That does
11:26
Speaker 1: You're right, Tony, it doesn't happen. Jaguars Happy Our Radio
11:29
Speaker 1: airs Monday four to six pm on Tinto x l
11:32
Speaker 1: A M, Jaguars dot Com, and the Jags social channels, Twitter, Facebook,
11:36
Speaker 1: and YouTube. On Jack's Drivetime Wednesday morning, Former Jaguars running
11:40
Speaker 1: back and NFL Network analyst Maurice Jones Drew joined Brian
11:43
Speaker 1: Sexton and John Osier and explained what he's liked about
11:46
Speaker 1: the Jaguars team starting mid season. Well, I think the
11:50
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is, you know, during that coach search,
11:52
Speaker 1: I got opportunity to talk with a shot con and
11:55
Speaker 1: we we kind of talked about two I wos say
11:58
Speaker 1: about an hour and a half, two hours and just
12:00
Speaker 1: breaking down different candidates and and you know, he talked
12:03
Speaker 1: about Doug Peterson and what he liked about him, and
12:05
Speaker 1: I actually was like, you know, I really like Doug Peters.
12:09
Speaker 1: I love that he's a former player and he gives
12:11
Speaker 1: you he's a problem solver, and I think that as
12:14
Speaker 1: the head coach isn't valued enough, right A guy that
12:17
Speaker 1: can solve problems for your quarterback and help your quarterback
12:20
Speaker 1: solved problems. Um And to me, that was always the big,
12:24
Speaker 1: the big question last year, there wasn't enough quarterback resources
12:29
Speaker 1: on that team that helped Trevor as he got stuck
12:32
Speaker 1: into some situations. Right, it caused a little bit of frustration.
12:35
Speaker 1: You know, guys are used to winning whatever it might
12:37
Speaker 1: have been, well, you bring in Doun Peterson, you have
12:41
Speaker 1: Mike McCoy is the quarterback coach, you have oh C.
12:44
Speaker 1: You have a ton of knowledge all around your quarterback
12:46
Speaker 1: to give him opportunities. And you saw spurts. You saw
12:50
Speaker 1: times where the Jags would be able to score points
12:53
Speaker 1: at will and play really good defense, and it was
12:55
Speaker 1: just trying to get it all together. And so I
12:57
Speaker 1: really feel it was after that Chief's game where they
13:00
Speaker 1: they played really well at offensively, they kind of stumbled
13:02
Speaker 1: a little bit in the red zone, um, and it
13:05
Speaker 1: was like, Okay, if they could get the things, put
13:07
Speaker 1: this thing together, they'll be okay. And I feel like
13:11
Speaker 1: right after that, by week you started to see them
13:13
Speaker 1: played different. And so to me on that show, it's like,
13:16
Speaker 1: look is I'm gonna always root for the Jags, but
13:18
Speaker 1: this isn't just like me rooting for the jack This
13:21
Speaker 1: is actually it's something that's going on. They have a
13:22
Speaker 1: lot of talent on this roster. They have young, a
13:25
Speaker 1: young nucleus that can that can play really well, and
13:28
Speaker 1: they're going to continue that. They continue to fight, and
13:30
Speaker 1: so to see all those things kind of happened down
13:34
Speaker 1: the stretch was awesome. And you know you always wish
13:37
Speaker 1: for that, Like when I was there, we always wished
13:39
Speaker 1: that we could play well in the second half and
13:41
Speaker 1: do all those things. Whe you guys are actually doing it,
13:43
Speaker 1: which again is big times. Jack's Drive Time Monday, Wednesday

15:10
Speaker 1: Many of you are saying the Jaguars are playing with
15:12
Speaker 1: house money by getting this far in the playoffs and
15:15
Speaker 1: that the season is a success no matter what happens. Well,
15:18
Speaker 1: that might be true, but head coach Doug Peterson knows
15:21
Speaker 1: they're still in the tournament until they're knocked out of
15:24
Speaker 1: the tournament. Whether it's our money or house money, UM,
15:27
Speaker 1: we're here and it's a credit to those players in
15:29
Speaker 1: the locker room and the coaching staff for you know,
15:31
Speaker 1: believing in each other, obviously working hard what we've done
15:34
Speaker 1: down the stretch. You know, regardless of the mishaps, we're here.
15:38
Speaker 1: I try to block out the best I can with
15:40
Speaker 1: the team. You just block out the noise, You block
15:42
Speaker 1: out the negativity, You block out whether it's lack of
15:44
Speaker 1: respect or whatever. You know, we have a young quarterback
15:47
Speaker 1: or whatever it might be. You know, we're one of
15:49
Speaker 1: four in the a f C left That says a lot,
15:51
Speaker 1: says a lot about these guys, and um, you know,
15:54
Speaker 1: we're excited for the opportunity. It's also been a long
15:56
Speaker 1: season for the Jaguars. They played in the Hall of
15:58
Speaker 1: Fame game and Can't Ohio in early August and now
16:02
Speaker 1: they're in the a f C Divisional playoff game January one.
16:05
Speaker 1: Peterson knows that youth could be helpful. Maybe that's the
16:08
Speaker 1: reason why they're still going as they're young. But sometimes
16:11
Speaker 1: you know that that's a good thing, you know, because
16:14
Speaker 1: there's a lot of energy with these guys. Look, that's
16:16
Speaker 1: also part of winning, you know. Um, each year, you
16:19
Speaker 1: know you're you're you want to be here again next year,
16:22
Speaker 1: right and and be talking about the same things, and
16:24
Speaker 1: you have to condition yourself. You have to condition your mind,
16:27
Speaker 1: your body, everything to be playing football in January and February.
16:30
Speaker 1: That's just that starts in the off season, builds through
16:33
Speaker 1: training camp. So if you're conditioned that way, you don't
16:35
Speaker 1: worry about it as much now. The offensive coordinator Press
16:38
Speaker 1: Taylor back in Week ten in Kansas City, the Jaguar
16:41
Speaker 1: has left plenty of points on the field, something they
16:44
Speaker 1: cannot afford to do this time around. You know, we
16:46
Speaker 1: missed a lot of opportunities. Obviously, they're very good team.
16:49
Speaker 1: You gotta take advantage of everything. You know, we sold
16:50
Speaker 1: a little momentum early with the onside kick and then
16:53
Speaker 1: you know, the second and third play the game, I
16:54
Speaker 1: believe we dropped an opportunity to for to yr ball
16:56
Speaker 1: puts us in the red zone. We sold a possession
16:58
Speaker 1: with the on side and then didn't do anything with
17:00
Speaker 1: ended up punting it. I think we punted it in
17:01
Speaker 1: the end zone, so we didn't we didn't gain anything
17:03
Speaker 1: out of that. There were several other opportunities where we
17:05
Speaker 1: had opportunities to make plays, didn't make plays, you know,
17:07
Speaker 1: whatever that may be. We had some issues just dealing
17:10
Speaker 1: with the noise going on the road. Wide receiver Christian
17:12
Speaker 1: Kirk went over one hundred yards with two touchdowns that
17:15
Speaker 1: day in Arrowhead and a losing effort. This week, he
17:17
Speaker 1: talked through the Chiefs defense. The Chiefs are very dynamic
17:20
Speaker 1: on defense and what they do coverage wise. They like
17:23
Speaker 1: to bring some blitz is, which you know allows on
17:25
Speaker 1: the place of man coverage, and we were able to
17:27
Speaker 1: you know, take advantage of that at times, you know,
17:29
Speaker 1: but the pressure got there. So now we're gonna try
17:32
Speaker 1: to look at you know, what we did go well
17:33
Speaker 1: against them, and I'm sure that they'll have a plan
17:35
Speaker 1: and you know, we're just gonna have to go out
17:37
Speaker 1: there and um, you know, take it one play at
17:39
Speaker 1: a time. Now to the Jaguars on the defensive side,
17:42
Speaker 1: and defensive lineman Art and Key explained the pass rush
17:45
Speaker 1: for the Jags the last few weeks. Finally getting jump started.
17:48
Speaker 1: I think just you know, first time being around each other,
17:51
Speaker 1: if having the first decordinator, just the whole thing. We
17:55
Speaker 1: just finally found who we are as a defense as
17:58
Speaker 1: far as rest in the past, and I believe it's
18:01
Speaker 1: the phone man front and we we we're casing. We
18:04
Speaker 1: gotta come alive the phone man front. We gotta come
18:06
Speaker 1: alive because them got any help in the back end
18:08
Speaker 1: the cover, So we gotta rest folk. We gotta come
18:10
Speaker 1: with some five. We gotta come with some three, just different.
18:13
Speaker 1: We gotta throw different things that Patrick my home so
18:16
Speaker 1: we can get turned overs and hit him. Outside linebacker
18:19
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has full respect for the weapons the Chiefs have,
18:23
Speaker 1: but he knows the Jaguars defense must handle their own business.
18:27
Speaker 1: It's all about us. It's all about how we come
18:29
Speaker 1: out mentally ready to play. How physical is the game
18:32
Speaker 1: gonna be? And can we tackle well in oben field?
18:34
Speaker 1: And can we be where we need to be if
18:36
Speaker 1: we do that, Man, we dictate this game because we
18:39
Speaker 1: can play. I think we can play against anybody. And
18:41
Speaker 1: I'm not knocking nobody. We know what that type of
18:43
Speaker 1: office they have. But at the end of the day,
18:45
Speaker 1: it's about us because we gotta get to we gotta
18:47
Speaker 1: get to someone, and this is another team. In a way,
18:49
Speaker 1: it's an important game because it's the next one and
18:51
Speaker 1: that's the mentality that we all have. And finally, Zay
18:54
Speaker 1: Jones this week, the Jaguars wide receiver. Yes, it's a
18:57
Speaker 1: beautiful time to be a Jaguar. We earn the position
19:00
Speaker 1: that we're in, and we're here now and there's what
19:03
Speaker 1: there's four teams remaining in the an f C four
19:05
Speaker 1: team I mean it's and we're one of them, you know.
19:07
Speaker 1: So it is a beautiful time to be a jag
19:10
Speaker 1: and we look to continue moving forward. We gotta handle
19:13
Speaker 1: business each and every day. And what I'm gonna cherish
19:15
Speaker 1: the most about it is the way that we felt
19:17
Speaker 1: after that win, how the fan base felt, the emotions
19:20
Speaker 1: that you could feel, and we want to feel that
19:23
Speaker 1: same feeling again, if not more. Full locker room sound
19:26
Speaker 1: looking Ahead to Kansas City available on Jaguars dot Com.
19:29
Speaker 1: Let's now preview a couple interviews that will run in
19:32
Speaker 1: full on the Official Jaguars podcast network Saturday morning and
19:36
Speaker 1: then on Countdown to Kickoff on the Jaguars Radio Network.
19:39
Speaker 1: Kevin Harlan has called NFL play by play for thirty
19:42
Speaker 1: eight years. He's been with CBS since the late nineties
19:44
Speaker 1: and since the early two thousands, he's had Monday night
19:47
Speaker 1: football on Westwood one Radio. He's calling this Jaguars Chiefs
19:51
Speaker 1: game on Westwood One, and I asked him what kind
19:54
Speaker 1: of impact of Jags win in Kansas City would have
19:56
Speaker 1: around the league. Well right now, I think everybody it
20:00
Speaker 1: loves the Cinderella. We love it. In the n c
20:03
Speaker 1: A tournament, we we don't see it as often maybe
20:05
Speaker 1: in some of the sports that have a seven games
20:08
Speaker 1: series tied with their sport and and so you know,
20:12
Speaker 1: usually he play seven games, the better team will prevail.
20:17
Speaker 1: But in the NFL and in college football, it's it's
20:20
Speaker 1: it's sudden death, right, it's single elimination, and you are
20:24
Speaker 1: facing that with every game. Listen last year in the
20:28
Speaker 1: a f C Championship game, the Chiefs had a sizeable
20:31
Speaker 1: lead at halftime and all they had to do was
20:34
Speaker 1: hang on and Cincinnati and Joe Burrow came back and
20:37
Speaker 1: stunned them. The record for road teams and the playoffs
20:40
Speaker 1: is not as lopsided as you would think. On one side,
20:43
Speaker 1: it's a pretty level playing field. Actually it's it's very
20:47
Speaker 1: close to five hundred and and so I think that
20:50
Speaker 1: gives teams like the Bengals last year, I hope that
20:53
Speaker 1: they don't blink. They continue to go. And why would
20:56
Speaker 1: the Jaguars blink? They just played the Chiefs this season.
20:58
Speaker 1: They know what they can do they They they've handled it,
21:01
Speaker 1: that they know exactly what they're gonna face. They were
21:04
Speaker 1: down by a ton this past weekend in the playoffs,
21:06
Speaker 1: in the first time they've been there in a while.
21:08
Speaker 1: They handled that. I just think that that right now,
21:12
Speaker 1: most knowledgeable people in the league know that on any
21:16
Speaker 1: game and in any location, that anybody can win, and
21:20
Speaker 1: it is not a certainty. So the heavy money was
21:23
Speaker 1: toward the Chiefs last year against the Bengals. Cincinnati came
21:26
Speaker 1: from a double digit deficit in one of the a
21:28
Speaker 1: f C Championship game, and um, we saw San Francisco
21:31
Speaker 1: almost do it in Los Angeles and the NFC Championship
21:34
Speaker 1: game last year against the Rams. Here we are at
21:36
Speaker 1: the divisional phase. There's no doubt that that anything can happen.
21:41
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of people get the Giants
21:43
Speaker 1: a great deal of hope going to Minnesota last week
21:45
Speaker 1: against the thirteen win Viking team, I'm confident that we'll
21:49
Speaker 1: see a quality game. I don't think that it'll be
21:52
Speaker 1: too big for the Jaguars at all. Listen, you're talking
21:54
Speaker 1: about a quarterback that is a national championship warp. He
21:58
Speaker 1: he played college. He knows exactly what he's getting into.
22:01
Speaker 1: And uh, I think that's when they shine their brightestness.
22:04
Speaker 1: We saw last week and I think we'll see this
22:06
Speaker 1: week at Saturday in Kansas City. Also on the Call Saturday,
22:09
Speaker 1: Mike Tarico of NBC Sports we visited ahead of the
22:13
Speaker 1: Hall of Fame game in Canton back in August. I
22:15
Speaker 1: asked him this week about the connection between Chiefs coach
22:18
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Jack's coach Doug Peterson. It's the best,
22:22
Speaker 1: you know, It's one thing. Yeah, you know, this guy
22:23
Speaker 1: played for him, he coached on his staff. That's cool,
22:26
Speaker 1: it's great. This is so real And I'll tell you why.
22:29
Speaker 1: I think it's more real than most of these nice
22:32
Speaker 1: stories JP. When you think about it, Andy Reid became
22:36
Speaker 1: head coach in the NFL for the first time. Who
22:38
Speaker 1: did he trust to be his quarterback and to get
22:41
Speaker 1: his system going? Doug Peterson. Andy Reid comes to Kansas City.
22:45
Speaker 1: Who's the one guy and all the assistance he had
22:47
Speaker 1: through all those places, Who's the one guy he trusted
22:51
Speaker 1: to be the offensive coordinator? Doug Peterson. So the most
22:54
Speaker 1: important positions for a head coach when you talk about offense, quarterback,
22:58
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. Both times Andy Reid's gotten a head coaching job.
23:02
Speaker 1: He's chosen Doug Peterson. And you think Andy Reid's good.
23:05
Speaker 1: He stopped five all time and wins in history of
23:07
Speaker 1: the league. Guy knows what he's doing. So to me,
23:11
Speaker 1: it's twenty three, twenty four years of relationship. But it's
23:15
Speaker 1: also a long term trust pattern that is similar when
23:19
Speaker 1: you look at each guy for how they treat their players,
23:22
Speaker 1: how they go about their job, what their teams do
23:25
Speaker 1: on the field. It's one of the better teacher pupil
23:28
Speaker 1: deals that we've had in quite some time. And Mike,
23:30
Speaker 1: this is the kind of the front end of what
23:32
Speaker 1: could be a golden era of quarterback play in the NFL.
23:36
Speaker 1: And all these guys in the playoffs are twenty nine
23:39
Speaker 1: years old or younger, all eight of them. And it
23:42
Speaker 1: feels like Patrick Mahomes about forty years old already. But
23:45
Speaker 1: he's twenty seven, right, He's not going on anytime soon. No,
23:49
Speaker 1: I'm worried that Patrick's will be able to make it
23:51
Speaker 1: through the game at his advanced stage. You know, I hope,
23:54
Speaker 1: I hope that they're a will to kind of go easy,
23:55
Speaker 1: to be able to hand them ball off, because how
23:57
Speaker 1: thin can make it four quarters is the old guy. Yeah,
23:59
Speaker 1: I started of looking It's the first time in twenty
24:01
Speaker 1: years we've gotten to this point. We always say divisional
24:04
Speaker 1: weekend is the best weekend of the year. The best
24:07
Speaker 1: teams end up here, right, either had to win your
24:09
Speaker 1: division or win a playoff game. No flukes get here. Well,
24:13
Speaker 1: when you look around this weekend, for the last twenty years,
24:17
Speaker 1: we've had Manning or Rogers or Brady, and this is
24:21
Speaker 1: the first time we have none of them. So we
24:23
Speaker 1: know this generation has arrived. It is coming. And this
24:26
Speaker 1: weekend is symbolic to me because this generation is now
24:30
Speaker 1: taken over the stage and Mahomes is great in so
24:34
Speaker 1: many ways. An m v P this year in all likelihood,
24:38
Speaker 1: and what you saw in Trevor's second rookie year this
24:41
Speaker 1: year was a guy who is figuring it out and
24:47
Speaker 1: learning like Josh Allen, Joe Burrowed, Patrick Mahomes and Justin
24:51
Speaker 1: Herbert you guys saw in person in the first half
24:53
Speaker 1: look great. I mean, man, we are very fortunate in
24:56
Speaker 1: the a f C. We're gonna have some really really
24:58
Speaker 1: good football with some terrific young quarterbacks for many years
25:02
Speaker 1: to come. Mike Toriko with his final thought here with you.
25:04
Speaker 1: There's been some talk this week, a lot of comparisons
25:07
Speaker 1: about the nineties six Jaguars around here, the way they
25:10
Speaker 1: rallied back and all that. But if they are able
25:12
Speaker 1: to pull this off in Kansas City, the nineties six
25:15
Speaker 1: team right went to Denver. That was the first time
25:17
Speaker 1: I think Denver had to defend in a long time,
25:20
Speaker 1: first time they were a number one seed and had
25:21
Speaker 1: to defend. They go up there and beat them, right Uh,
25:25
Speaker 1: then they won the Super Bowls after that. This Kansas
25:27
Speaker 1: City team has been here before. They know what it's
25:29
Speaker 1: like to be a number one seed in the divisional
25:31
Speaker 1: round and defend Arrowhead. What kind of ripples would this
25:34
Speaker 1: send around the NFL. If the Jaguars can pull this off.
25:37
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Well, I just remember I remember the game,
25:41
Speaker 1: you know, when we go back to Doug Morone taking
25:43
Speaker 1: the team to the conference championship game and and that
25:46
Speaker 1: second game against Pittsburgh. That was like because the first
25:49
Speaker 1: game against Buffalo was one of the worst playoff games.
25:52
Speaker 1: The playoff game, they're ugly, they're good, you win, and
25:55
Speaker 1: it was one of the worst games you'll ever see
25:57
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. And there was no way this team
25:59
Speaker 1: was to go back and win, and that Pittsburgh game
26:03
Speaker 1: was ah wow, and we're all still like, eventually, is
26:06
Speaker 1: this real in the third quarter of the game in
26:08
Speaker 1: Foxborough the next weekend, so it can be done. I
26:11
Speaker 1: was thinking about the Jaguars championship game appearances and they
26:15
Speaker 1: look back at the three and what's the common thread? Man?
26:18
Speaker 1: There were teams that had a real tight confidence with
26:24
Speaker 1: the group and a grip to them that you know,
26:27
Speaker 1: you're Jacksonville. You're not one of the longtime powers of
26:31
Speaker 1: the league. The other team and this big venue where
26:33
Speaker 1: we're so dominant it will take over. Never happens. I
26:37
Speaker 1: don't know what it is. They're all different teams, all
26:38
Speaker 1: different areas, different coaches. Obviously with Kaughlin Maron, a couple
26:42
Speaker 1: of Syracuse alums I'll point out real quick and now
26:45
Speaker 1: Doug and you know these have a Syracuse guy on
26:47
Speaker 1: this team with Andre Cisco, so it'll count for the
26:49
Speaker 1: thread through it all. But you know what, there's something
26:52
Speaker 1: about the Jaguars when they get in the playoffs that
26:55
Speaker 1: there's a belief and I love that about this team
26:58
Speaker 1: and this franchise, and I know they're playing with quote
27:01
Speaker 1: house money. But this is a dangerous team to have
27:05
Speaker 1: all all the cards in their hand deal them all out.
27:07
Speaker 1: So I'm excited for them. If they would come in
27:11
Speaker 1: here and knock the Chiefs out and deny them from
27:13
Speaker 1: a fifth straight appearance in the NC Championship Game, it'll
27:17
Speaker 1: be one of the great upsets to follow, one of
27:19
Speaker 1: the great comebacks in the NFL playoff history. And I
27:23
Speaker 1: wouldn't put it past past this team to have it happened.
27:25
Speaker 1: This is that kind of group right now. Again the
27:27
Speaker 1: full conversations with Kevin Harlan and Mike Tarriko on the
27:29
Speaker 1: Official Jaguars Podcast Network Saturday, and again on Countdown to
27:33
Speaker 1: kick Off at three thirty on the Jaguars Radio Network.
27:36
Speaker 1: Let's close the week with Jack's head coach Doug Peterson
27:39
Speaker 1: from his weekly radio show Thursday night and his final
27:42
Speaker 1: thoughts about the matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. Well,
27:45
Speaker 1: obviously it starts, you know, it starts with Andy Um
27:48
Speaker 1: and obviously Pat Mahomes and and and really, you know,
27:51
Speaker 1: Eric the enemy has done a great job when I
27:53
Speaker 1: was there, when I was a coordinator in the run
27:54
Speaker 1: game and protections and and really opening up some lanes
27:57
Speaker 1: for their running game and even though they don't run
28:00
Speaker 1: ball a whole lot, it's effective. Um. But Andy's just
28:03
Speaker 1: a he's a tremendous gosh, he's a tremendous play caller.
28:06
Speaker 1: He studies the game. He'll he'll he'll he'll understand your
28:10
Speaker 1: your strengths and weaknesses, your tendencies, you know, and and
28:13
Speaker 1: he'll he'll find he'll find that niche And when he does, um,
28:17
Speaker 1: you better make an adjustment in a hurry, because he'll
28:20
Speaker 1: keep he'll keep nipping at it and attacking it. And
28:23
Speaker 1: you know, and also I think with Andy Reid too,
28:25
Speaker 1: is he really doesn't care what the defense does. It's
28:28
Speaker 1: all about his offense. And and that was the mindset
28:31
Speaker 1: we had when I was with him in Philadelphia and
28:33
Speaker 1: the places I've been in Green Bay and and the
28:35
Speaker 1: such that he just, you know, if if they're executing
28:38
Speaker 1: on offense, you know, let's just outscore our opponents and
28:41
Speaker 1: uh and try to win the game that way. Play
28:43
Speaker 1: calling aside sometimes the play doesn't work, is designed. And
28:46
Speaker 1: that's where I think Patrick Mahomes becomes special. Where he
28:49
Speaker 1: got what we call the all scheduled plays scramble rules.
28:52
Speaker 1: That's where he really just thrives. He does, and he's
28:55
Speaker 1: he's the best at it. He's it's hard for any
28:58
Speaker 1: defense to get him on the ground. It's air. Um.
29:01
Speaker 1: And when he does scramble, you know, our our back
29:03
Speaker 1: end has gotta be on that, you know, plaster technique
29:06
Speaker 1: as we call it. And they got to attach themselves
29:08
Speaker 1: to the receivers and and try not to uh um,
29:11
Speaker 1: you know, give them too many open receivers down the field.
29:14
Speaker 1: And and we were able to create an interception last time,
29:17
Speaker 1: you know, on a scramble type situation. Cisco had a
29:20
Speaker 1: great pick right there and and uh in the second half.
29:22
Speaker 1: So those are things that you gotta do to put
29:25
Speaker 1: yourself in a position to try to win this game.
29:26
Speaker 1: Quick thought about the defense for the Chiefs. Chris Jones,
29:29
Speaker 1: First team All Pro, fifteen and a half sacks, seventeen
29:32
Speaker 1: tackles for loss. Of course you've got saw him in
29:34
Speaker 1: week ten. What kind of handful of see? I mean,
29:38
Speaker 1: you know, we talked a lot about Pat Mahomes in
29:39
Speaker 1: the offense that they have, but but but Chris Jones
29:42
Speaker 1: and um, you know, just a probably the best de
29:47
Speaker 1: tackle that we will see all season. And we we've
29:49
Speaker 1: played some really good ones this year. They you know,
29:52
Speaker 1: Frank Clark's another one that can can you know as
29:54
Speaker 1: an edge rusher. And uh Dunlaps another big, tall, lanky
29:58
Speaker 1: guy who's really energized his career and by being in
30:01
Speaker 1: Kansas City. So they've got a really good front that
30:03
Speaker 1: we've gotta We've got a test too, and you know,
30:06
Speaker 1: going into the first game. Um, you know, we came
30:09
Speaker 1: away actually from the first game saying that their linebackers
30:12
Speaker 1: are really good. They're downhill, fast flow guys and and
30:15
