0:28
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Thanks for listening on Jaguars dot Com through

0:41
Speaker 1: love feedback, so leave us a comment at a five
0:44
Speaker 1: star rating. Let's start with the reaction to the Jaguars
0:47
Speaker 1: Week thirteen performance of forty to fourteen lost to the
0:51
Speaker 1: Lions in Detroit. Pete Prisco and Tony Vasselli joined me
0:54
Speaker 1: each Monday afternoon on Jaguars Happy Our Radio, and as
0:58
Speaker 1: you would imagine, it was mostly about the defense. When
1:02
Speaker 1: we welcome in Tony Boselli and Pete Frisco and gentlemen,
1:06
Speaker 1: good afternoon. How are we feeling today, Pete, let's start
1:09
Speaker 1: with you. I'm feeling great, a lot better than that
1:12
Speaker 1: team's feeling. I can tell you that right now. That
1:14
Speaker 1: was an ambush. They were terrible and and all the
1:17
Speaker 1: way across the board. I mean, it was just bad,
1:20
Speaker 1: and particularly that defense. And you have a lot of money,
1:24
Speaker 1: and we're gonna get through and through it all night.
1:26
Speaker 1: But they have a ton of money invested in that defense,
1:28
Speaker 1: they have a ton of draft capital invested in that defense,
1:31
Speaker 1: and they stink. Okay, that's the only way to describe
1:34
Speaker 1: that defense. It stinks. You know, if you could name
1:39
Speaker 1: one player who played well on Sunday, who would it
1:42
Speaker 1: be on the defensive side of the ball. Loui Khan
1:44
Speaker 1: did some good things. But that's about it, right Tony.
1:49
Speaker 1: That's it. Yeah, I mean, I mean, I think the
1:53
Speaker 1: bigger issue, Pete, is this defense can't get off the ball.
1:56
Speaker 1: They're they're no good on third down, and and they
2:01
Speaker 1: and they and they have bus they have guys and
2:05
Speaker 1: running wide open at times, and guys looking confused in
2:08
Speaker 1: the back half, and and you couple that with the
2:11
Speaker 1: fact that we don't rush the passer. We have nobody
2:14
Speaker 1: who can win up front on any type of consistent
2:17
Speaker 1: basis at all. Um when you need to, and that's
2:20
Speaker 1: how you get people off on their done. You pressure
2:22
Speaker 1: the quarterback, you force. Now, they did some things that
2:24
Speaker 1: lead the field goals where they blitzed and and some
2:26
Speaker 1: good designs. But when I watch our defense, it feels
2:30
Speaker 1: like there's a bunch of confusion, like guys are unclear.
2:33
Speaker 1: And you add to that, I mean, this team can't
2:34
Speaker 1: play man, Pete. I mean they are trying their best,
2:37
Speaker 1: rolling out every corner known demand kind. And you know,
2:41
Speaker 1: these are young guys. I'm not saying they can't learn
2:43
Speaker 1: how to do it, but right now they're not ready
2:45
Speaker 1: to go out there and play man. So it's you know,
2:49
Speaker 1: and they, like you said, they get when they get
2:51
Speaker 1: the young guys in there. They on the swift swing
2:54
Speaker 1: pass out of the field. I watched that. I'm still
2:58
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to figure out if that's the moon muck,
3:00
Speaker 1: it's a Louis Koma somebody. I think it's the corner.
3:03
Speaker 1: The way they played, they looked like you're playing the
3:04
Speaker 1: zone over there. He kind of carried, he went with
3:06
Speaker 1: the receiver. He's probably supposed to stay out there. No,
3:08
Speaker 1: I don't think they were a man. No, but if
3:12
Speaker 1: you look at the Lucan, he is doing spinning cops
3:15
Speaker 1: trying to figure out where you know, there was confusion.
3:17
Speaker 1: It was clear, and I don't know whose fault it
3:20
Speaker 1: was ultimately who's supposed to be there. But I know
3:22
Speaker 1: this that the back you know, swinging out as a
3:25
Speaker 1: checkdown is not supposed to have thirty yards of grass
3:28
Speaker 1: in front of them. And so yeah, there's a bunch
3:31
Speaker 1: of issues. I think, Pete, you said it. I mean,
3:33
Speaker 1: this is the side of the ball. They've invested a
3:35
Speaker 1: ton of money. Jaguars Happy Our Radio Monday airs Florida
3:39
Speaker 1: six pm on tint x l a M Jaguars dot
3:41
Speaker 1: Com and the Jacks social media channels on to huddle
3:44
Speaker 1: up with Bucky Brooks. Wednesday, Bucky john Osian and I
3:48
Speaker 1: continued the defensive conversation, how do they flush this one
3:51
Speaker 1: and move on to a different feeling Tennessee offense? Well,
3:55
Speaker 1: if you do, Peterson, which is to do is you
3:56
Speaker 1: have to invoke the twenty four hour rules. So no
3:58
Speaker 1: matter how bet it looked on Sunday, by the end
4:01
Speaker 1: of Monday, we gotta be done with it. We gotta
4:03
Speaker 1: put it to bear, we gotta move forward. Uh. And
4:05
Speaker 1: it was embarrassing. I mean, it was embarrassing. Four team
4:07
Speaker 1: to score on eight straight drives and the only time
4:11
Speaker 1: that you stopped them was because they had elected to
4:13
Speaker 1: kneel down at the end of the game. And so
4:16
Speaker 1: this is one where when you go back and you
4:17
Speaker 1: reevaluate the scheme and the personnel, their issues. Some of
4:21
Speaker 1: the issues exist in the back end where you're not
4:24
Speaker 1: good enough to play man demand and you don't appear
4:27
Speaker 1: to have a feel for how to play zone. And
4:30
Speaker 1: so if you're Dan Quinn, uh, I mean, if I mean,
4:33
Speaker 1: if you're Mike call Will and you're sitting here trying
4:35
Speaker 1: to figure out how do I call a defense to
4:38
Speaker 1: put my team in the best situation, it's hard. If
4:41
Speaker 1: you can't play man and you can't play zone, you
4:44
Speaker 1: can't heat them up because you have coverage deficiencies. It
4:47
Speaker 1: just makes it very, very difficult and challenging to win
4:50
Speaker 1: a game. And then the other part of this is
4:52
Speaker 1: up front. You thought the front was going to be
4:54
Speaker 1: the strength of the team. You thought that you would
4:56
Speaker 1: be able to really dominate the game with a four
4:58
Speaker 1: man or a five man line, and right now the
5:00
Speaker 1: Jaguars haven't been able to do it. So it's a
5:03
Speaker 1: combination of the defensive coordinator looking at the scheme and
5:07
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what can I do better to
5:09
Speaker 1: help my guys perform. But then the players got to
5:12
Speaker 1: play better, and so everybody is accountable, coaching, staff, players,
5:15
Speaker 1: everyone has to raise the level of play hidden and
5:17
Speaker 1: since you next week, yeah, when you mean when you
5:20
Speaker 1: can't play man or zone, there's yeah, those are the
5:24
Speaker 1: two choice time I checked, I mean, I mean, uh
5:29
Speaker 1: and not really trying to be cute. Then I'm trying
5:32
Speaker 1: to emphasize. I mean a lot of questions about my
5:35
Speaker 1: called one. And I know he's in his first year,
5:37
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there are things where he would he
5:39
Speaker 1: would tell, Yeah, I wish I had that one back,
5:41
Speaker 1: or maybe I could have done this differently or that differently.
5:44
Speaker 1: But I couldn't agree more with everything Bucky just lined up.
5:48
Speaker 1: When you can't cover in the back end, and the
5:51
Speaker 1: quarterback can get rid of the ball at at at
5:54
Speaker 1: his leisure when he wants to, and when your linebackers
5:58
Speaker 1: are clearly having trouble recognizing so that the short stuff
6:04
Speaker 1: the checkdowns are available, it's hard to rush the pass
6:07
Speaker 1: or when you don't have dominant pass rush. I mean,
6:09
Speaker 1: this team doesn't have a pass rush that's just going
6:11
Speaker 1: to scare you and get there with four, So I
6:14
Speaker 1: don't know really what you call. And then the other
6:17
Speaker 1: day you had the added effect of an okay pass rush,
6:21
Speaker 1: because that I do think with a good secondary pasture
6:23
Speaker 1: should be okay. But you had an okay to not
6:26
Speaker 1: you know, a three or four in the scale of
6:29
Speaker 1: one to ten is the pass rush this year. But
6:31
Speaker 1: you had a really good offensive line that brought that
6:35
Speaker 1: pass rush down to where it was just not existent
6:37
Speaker 1: because the Lion's offensive line is good. So I don't
6:40
Speaker 1: think it was a one off. I mean, unfortunately, and JP,
6:45
Speaker 1: you have to read me every day, and I apologize
6:46
Speaker 1: for that. I've written two or three times this week.
6:49
Speaker 1: People talking about the defense regressing. I don't know if
6:51
Speaker 1: it has. They had two good performances this year against
6:55
Speaker 1: the Colts and the Chargers, who were depleted offensively, and
6:58
Speaker 1: then you shut the Texans down to thirteen. Other than that,
7:01
Speaker 1: they're given up twenty every game. So are they regressing
7:04
Speaker 1: or this is what they are? And again I'm not
7:06
Speaker 1: trying to say this time of year you should kind
7:08
Speaker 1: of know what you are. Yeah, I'm not trying to
7:10
Speaker 1: sit there in hammer and hammer and hammer, but making
7:12
Speaker 1: the point that I don't know if you can look
7:14
Speaker 1: at the staff and say, oh, the players are getting worse,
7:17
Speaker 1: it's what I think. It is what it is, and
7:20
Speaker 1: the flaws that we see I think are the flaws,
7:23
Speaker 1: and I don't know if there's a way to get
7:24
Speaker 1: them better. I hope I'm wrong, but that's what it
7:26
Speaker 1: feels like. I can't agree with you. I kind of
7:29
Speaker 1: agree with uh, like j when he says that the
7:32
Speaker 1: flaws are the flaws and you're not gonna be able
7:34
Speaker 1: to radically change anything. In the middle of the season.
7:37
Speaker 1: The players have talked about simplifying the scheme and doing
7:40
Speaker 1: things differently. The coaches have talked about that. Doug has
7:42
Speaker 1: talked about maybe we need to go ben, but don't
7:43
Speaker 1: break and keep everything in front. The problem is the
7:46
Speaker 1: personnel that you have doesn't necessarily match the philosophy that
7:51
Speaker 1: you want to employ, and so we're going into this.
7:55
Speaker 1: The personnel that was accumulated were more man to man corners,
7:58
Speaker 1: guys that were supposed to be able to nose the
8:00
Speaker 1: nose and jam and play with you uh bump and running,
8:04
Speaker 1: but they can't do that, and when you put them
8:07
Speaker 1: in off coverage, they kind of like fish out of water.
8:09
Speaker 1: They're not very comfortable and playing that they don't understand
8:13
Speaker 1: uh route concepts and combinations and how to pass things off,
8:16
Speaker 1: and so they get lost in the sauce and so
8:18
Speaker 1: you see big plays happen. Um, this is one where
8:21
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to kind of bite the bit for
8:23
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, and then in the off
8:25
Speaker 1: season that's when you can overhaul the defense, and that's
8:27
Speaker 1: when you can implement and make some of the changes
8:29
Speaker 1: that need to be made, uh to be better not
8:31
Speaker 1: only it gets the pass, but also in terms of
8:33
Speaker 1: rushing to pass, because right now they're not getting it
8:35
Speaker 1: done in either aspect. I think Buckey has off screen
8:39
Speaker 1: like a list of sayings that he marks off, and
8:43
Speaker 1: Lost in the sauce was next on the list. That
8:46
Speaker 1: was a new one. As much as I hated that
8:48
Speaker 1: he was right in his analysis there, I love the
8:52
Speaker 1: fact that we heard lost in this office pretty good.
8:56
Speaker 1: We do exactly the fit. Huddle Up with Bucky Brooks
9:01
Speaker 1: airs Wednesdays at four o'clock on Jaguars dot Com and
9:04
Speaker 1: Jaguars social media channels Twitter and Facebook and YouTube. Now
9:08
Speaker 1: to the quarterback Trevor Lawrence suffered a spring toe and
9:12
Speaker 1: last week's game on a sack just before halftime, and
9:14
Speaker 1: it looked a whole lot worse than that. Lawrence explained
9:18
Speaker 1: this week. I thought it was my knee at first,
9:20
Speaker 1: you know, um, just the way I got twisted, and
9:23
Speaker 1: you know, I thought, I really thought it was my knee.
9:24
Speaker 1: That's why I kind of grabbed it on the field.
9:26
Speaker 1: Just scared me more than anything because it bent away.
9:29
Speaker 1: It's probably not supposed to bend. Um. And then when
9:31
Speaker 1: I was laying there, you know, my my knee was
9:33
Speaker 1: hurting a little bit, uh, and I felt my toe
9:35
Speaker 1: a little bit too, But my first concern was my knee.
9:37
Speaker 1: So I was laying there and chainers came up there
9:39
Speaker 1: checking everything, that asked me if it hurt. I was like, actually,
9:41
Speaker 1: you know, when they were moving, it didn't really hurt
9:43
Speaker 1: too bad. So that made me feel better. And then
9:45
Speaker 1: when I got up started moving around, my toe was
9:47
Speaker 1: my toe was hurting, um, you know. And then from there,
9:51
Speaker 1: obviously like after the game and Monday morning, woke up
9:53
Speaker 1: and it was really really sore. Stiffened up on me,
9:56
Speaker 1: but um yeah, I kind of dodged a bullet for
9:58
Speaker 1: sure on that on that hip up. Quarterback c J.
10:01
Speaker 1: Bether took the first team reps Wednesday and Thursday, but
10:03
Speaker 1: Lawrence was back on the practice field Friday and he's
10:06
Speaker 1: trending the right way towards playing in Sunday's game against Tennessee.
10:10
Speaker 1: Let's move down to the ozone podcast. This week, Travis E.
10:13
Speaker 1: T n Junr, the second year running back, sat down
10:16
Speaker 1: with John Osier and talked about the mindset of the
10:18
Speaker 1: team now coming off the Lions game. I feel like
10:21
Speaker 1: we just hit a reset. We just hit a hard
10:23
Speaker 1: factory reset, and I feel like everybody's back on ground
10:26
Speaker 1: zero and now we just excided for opportunity to go
10:29
Speaker 1: out there and show ourselves, just to show the world
10:31
Speaker 1: who we really are. And uh, we feel like last
10:33
Speaker 1: week that wasn't who we was. We wouldn't put our
10:36
Speaker 1: best cell phone film. We want to go out there
10:37
Speaker 1: and try to fix that, and thankfully were having another opportunity.
10:41
Speaker 1: We can't let that happen again. So I feel as
10:42
Speaker 1: if everyone hit a factory reset, everyone's locked in on this,
10:45
Speaker 1: uh this moment disopponent and know that's just a big
10:48
Speaker 1: the biggest game of our season. So when the internet's
10:51
Speaker 1: down and that wheel spinning, he just hit the reset button.
10:53
Speaker 1: That's what you guys did, Yes, sir, Yes, sir. I
10:56
Speaker 1: feel as if well, when my WiFi at home not
10:59
Speaker 1: working as a moving slow, I just turned it off
11:01
Speaker 1: and turn it on and I was back moving fast again.
11:04
Speaker 1: Got you just unplug it? So so where are you
11:06
Speaker 1: at now? Mentally? I mean, you know, obviously believe strongly,
11:10
Speaker 1: and now you've shown yourself what you can be in
11:13
Speaker 1: the NFL. Does that help your confidence going forward? Or
11:16
Speaker 1: I guess you said you already had it, but I
11:18
Speaker 1: did the stretch you had and your success. Has that
11:22
Speaker 1: helped you going into games now? Uh? Yes, sir? H
11:25
Speaker 1: definitely the definitely set that help you definitely go out
11:28
Speaker 1: there and uh you see it now instead of just
11:32
Speaker 1: having that vision in your hair and now you've got
11:33
Speaker 1: something to rely you on. So I feel like it
11:35
Speaker 1: definitely helps. But um, I feel like that your confidence
11:38
Speaker 1: is never a problem, was it? No, sir, My confidence
11:40
Speaker 1: never was a problem. I've been playing football in my
11:42
Speaker 1: whole life. I've kind of been good. Uh as I
11:45
Speaker 1: started playing and uh, I just feel as I've always
11:47
Speaker 1: had the skill set it by myself and the will
11:49
Speaker 1: to make it work. And uh, I have great players
11:51
Speaker 1: around me, uh the professionals, so they make my job
11:54
Speaker 1: a lot easier. And I feel like I have the
11:56
Speaker 1: best atleas around me. So why wouldn't I be good? Uh?
11:59
Speaker 1: On the biggest I was gonna ask you about that
12:01
Speaker 1: because looking at your stats, Anger, but they knows your
12:02
Speaker 1: college stats high school, I think it was eight eight
12:05
Speaker 1: hundred yards nine thousand yards, you know, four or five
12:08
Speaker 1: thousand o'clock. I mean you were used to producing and
12:12
Speaker 1: it's what you do. Uh does that help as a
12:15
Speaker 1: runner too? I know that you've got that and to
12:19
Speaker 1: have that experience even when you get to the highest level, Yes, sir,
12:22
Speaker 1: because um, at the end of the day, it all
12:25
Speaker 1: falls back when uh just your fundamentals, um, how you
12:28
Speaker 1: were groom since you were younger, are just it's fall
12:32
Speaker 1: falls to the little things. And I feel as if
12:34
Speaker 1: the coaches that have been in placing it still that
12:36
Speaker 1: my life has really just still good things in me
12:39
Speaker 1: and uh, good foundations for me just to follow on
12:41
Speaker 1: and those tough times and now I got coach parm
12:44
Speaker 1: who's a really great coach who played the position in
12:46
Speaker 1: the NFL, who knows who it looked like. And and
12:49
Speaker 1: here's still a lot of stuff in us too. So
12:51
Speaker 1: I feel like when things get hard or I'm out
12:54
Speaker 1: there and I'm not getting those big runs and uh,
12:56
Speaker 1: these are getting tough, I gotta stick to my plan,
12:59
Speaker 1: trusting my teams, and uh, I just know that it's
13:01
Speaker 1: going to happen. Do not get down you So. The

Speaker 1: Up Podcast the Ozone Pod give us that five star rating.
15:31
Speaker 1: As always, we moved down to the coordinators from Thursday,
15:34
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell discuss the lack of energy early
15:39
Speaker 1: in last week's game and how to change it. We'll
15:41
Speaker 1: think about it. Is you noticed it Watson the film
15:44
Speaker 1: about we have saying that when one makes a play,
15:47
Speaker 1: we all make a play, and you should be excited
15:50
Speaker 1: when your brother makes a play. And you didn't see
15:52
Speaker 1: that on Sunday for whatever reason. So we just, uh,
15:56
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna dig deep and find out go
15:58
Speaker 1: back and let this game be a youth game. Enjoy
16:01
Speaker 1: the game when you're out there, have smiling and face
16:03
Speaker 1: to out there and make plays and have fun with it.
16:05
Speaker 1: Offensive coordinator Press Taylor on the confidence level of C. J. Bethard.
16:09
Speaker 1: If for some reason Lawrence would have a setback between
16:13
Speaker 1: now and game day, No, I'd say there's not anything
16:15
Speaker 1: he cannot do. Um, you know, and and part of
16:18
Speaker 1: it is he's been around all season long, since the
16:21
Speaker 1: day we put the offense in. Uh. We always try
16:24
Speaker 1: to tailor to the strengths of our players, so that
16:26
Speaker 1: may be something if it were if we made that decision,
16:28
Speaker 1: I think that's a late pivot we could get to
16:31
Speaker 1: if we needed to say, you know, this is we
16:33
Speaker 1: have this in the plan. We like it versus defense,
16:35
Speaker 1: but you know, based on c J. Vers Trevor, whatever
16:37
Speaker 1: that may be, maybe it's let's stay away from that
16:39
Speaker 1: unless we needed or we kind of do that all
16:41
Speaker 1: the time every week, depending on who guys are and
16:43
Speaker 1: where they are and how we see things express themselves
16:45
Speaker 1: during practice, press conferences, and select locker rooms. Sound available
16:49
Speaker 1: on Jaguars dot com. We look ahead now to the
16:52
Speaker 1: Tennessee Titans. Doug Peterson's Wednesday press conference set the tone
16:56
Speaker 1: on what to expect. I'll tell you this is a
16:58
Speaker 1: good football team now, um, and our guys better be
17:01
Speaker 1: better be prepared and very ready to go. Um. They're
17:04
Speaker 1: they're well coached, you know, Um, I know very well well.
17:07
Speaker 1: Um you know when they feed off of him and
17:09
Speaker 1: his his excitement, enthusiasm, and um, you know, it's a
17:14
Speaker 1: discipline group. And um, it's a it's a it's very
17:18
Speaker 1: much like that at Baltimore type game. It's gonna be
17:20
Speaker 1: a sixty minute you know football game is gonna be
17:21
Speaker 1: a physical football game. And and uh, our guys, uh,
17:25
Speaker 1: you know, need to understand that that was a good
17:27
Speaker 1: example of a team kind of taking on the personality
17:29
Speaker 1: of their coach. Um, they definitely feed off of him,
17:35
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, much like last week with Detroit,
17:38
Speaker 1: I think they feed off their coach as well. And
17:40
Speaker 1: and this is this is no different. This is that
17:42
Speaker 1: the same type of group. And you know they got
17:44
Speaker 1: they've got again. This team has been around a while.
17:47
Speaker 1: They got players that have played together for a long time.
17:49
Speaker 1: And and um, you know you see it. You see
17:52
Speaker 1: it on tape, um when you watch him and uh
17:55
Speaker 1: again it's uh, it's it's a discipline group, solid group
17:59
Speaker 1: both sides of the football. And and uh, you know,
18:02
Speaker 1: we have to have a great week every game. You know,
18:04
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage type game? Is it? More so
18:07
Speaker 1: with the Titans, who seemed to just have that smash
18:12
Speaker 1: mount personality about them on the offensive Really on both
18:15
Speaker 1: sides of the ball, I would agree, Um, you know,
18:17
Speaker 1: I think games like this the trenches, as they say, um,
18:21
Speaker 1: control the line of scrimmage becomes important. UM. And the
18:25
Speaker 1: ability to tackle you know Derek, I mean he's a
18:28
Speaker 1: he's a big, physical running back and and it's gonna
18:31
Speaker 1: take all eleven defensively to to do that. And um,
18:36
Speaker 1: but it definitely starts both sides of the ball. Offensive
18:40
Speaker 1: line controlling their d line and then of course you
18:42
Speaker 1: know our defensive line um against their offensive line. UM.
18:47
Speaker 1: The trenches is uh is a big part of this game,
18:50
Speaker 1: pretty much a feast or famine back in all games,
18:54
Speaker 1: including including games with the Jaguars. What are you seeing
18:58
Speaker 1: on tape? Are the people that are just you know,
19:01
Speaker 1: that are holding him to like you know, eighteen carries
19:03
Speaker 1: for forty seven yards as opposed to the ones that
19:06
Speaker 1: are well, I mean, you know, I think the first
19:10
Speaker 1: thing is you understand that that they want to run
19:12
Speaker 1: the football, you know, and they pride themselves on that
19:15
Speaker 1: they do a great job of running the football. And
19:16
Speaker 1: so you see more people you know in and around
19:19
Speaker 1: the box. You're seeing you know, corners you know, having
19:23
Speaker 1: to tackle and you know, and that's what I mean
19:25
Speaker 1: by you know, all eleven you know, um, you know,
19:29
Speaker 1: making making plays and and and supporting the run. Um.
19:33
Speaker 1: The one thing though that they've been able to do,
19:36
Speaker 1: you know a little bit is a little bit in
19:38
Speaker 1: the screen game you know, with him has come off
19:40
Speaker 1: of that with play action and screen to him, and
19:43
Speaker 1: he's been able to get some explosive you know carries
19:46
Speaker 1: that way, and and um, you know, they find they
19:49
Speaker 1: find enough ways to to get him the football, um,
19:51
Speaker 1: other than just handing it to him and so um.
19:54
Speaker 1: You know that's why I think from a defensive standpoint,
19:58
Speaker 1: just understanding what they're trying to do, studying the film.
20:03
Speaker 1: You know, have a great week of practice in preparation
20:05
Speaker 1: and play priority number one tackling Titans running back Derrick Henry.
20:10
Speaker 1: He has a pair of career two hundred plus yard
20:13
Speaker 1: games against the Jaguars. Linebacker Folk on the tackling plan
20:18
Speaker 1: at a team eleven eleven man football, we gotta fit
20:20
Speaker 1: our gaps. You know, they line up in turn formations
20:23
Speaker 1: and you know they're gonna run the ball. They might
20:24
Speaker 1: play action off of it. When he has the ball,
20:26
Speaker 1: we gotta be able to get off our blocks and
20:27
Speaker 1: get to the ball because you know he is a
20:29
Speaker 1: very powerful guy, fast guy. We gotta be able to
20:32
Speaker 1: plug up the gaps and if he bounces it, gets
20:33
Speaker 1: to the ball. Help everybody tackle. It's a division game,
20:36
Speaker 1: of course. Wide receiver Christian Kirk knows what's at sake
20:39
Speaker 1: this week very important, especially uh Tennessee being in the
20:42
Speaker 1: league right now. Uh, you know we're all chasing out
20:45
Speaker 1: for them, you know, so for us, you know, we
20:46
Speaker 1: have to bring the intensity and you know we know
20:48
Speaker 1: a type of game this is going to be, and
20:50
Speaker 1: you know we're ready for the challenge. And then on
20:53
Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime Wednesday morning, longtime Titans pregame radio host and
20:57
Speaker 1: now a host for OutKick is Jonathan Hutton. He explained
21:00
Speaker 1: the firing of Titans general manager John Robinson and much
21:03
Speaker 1: more about the team. The setup leading into this season
21:08
Speaker 1: was a loss to Cincinnati, and you touched on it
21:11
Speaker 1: in the previous segment with with Tannehill, who did not
21:13
Speaker 1: play well against the Bengals through throwing three picks. John
21:17
Speaker 1: Robinson literally cried at a media session at the combine
21:22
Speaker 1: and was extremely upset personally about not finishing it off
21:27
Speaker 1: the way that he had hoped. Once they got the
21:29
Speaker 1: roster healthy because they were really banged up, set a
21:31
Speaker 1: record for players on a roster last season. Then they
21:36
Speaker 1: extended him and rabeled together contractually. That was February of
21:40
Speaker 1: this year and December the sixth, he's out, as the
21:43
Speaker 1: Titans said at seven and five, losing two straight, but
21:47
Speaker 1: seven and five and with a win clinching the division,
21:49
Speaker 1: they're gonna host an the playoff game. The statement from
21:53
Speaker 1: Amy Adam Strunk was the roster and the roster building
21:57
Speaker 1: simply isn't good enough based on the results they want
22:01
Speaker 1: to see. I'm stung by it because normally that's a
22:04
Speaker 1: that's a move you make if it's about results once
22:07
Speaker 1: the results happen. And while I'm sitting here telling you
22:10
Speaker 1: I don't think this team is going very far this year,
22:13
Speaker 1: I still will judge the team in January or February
22:17
Speaker 1: based on results and not December. The sixth really interesting move,
22:21
Speaker 1: and that leads me to believe there's more of a
22:23
Speaker 1: riff behind the scenes between Robinson and Rabel than any
22:27
Speaker 1: short paragraph could have told us based on moves that
22:30
Speaker 1: were made over the last year year and a half,
22:33
Speaker 1: which it's a j Brown's trade, but it's more than that.
22:36
Speaker 1: They have missed in the first and second rounds with
22:38
Speaker 1: some big picks. Uh. The roster building free agent wise,
22:42
Speaker 1: has not been great, and while there have been plenty
22:45
Speaker 1: of hits, there have been recent misses that led to
22:48
Speaker 1: yesterday's news. I'm still stunned by it because of what
22:52
Speaker 1: Robinson meant in the build back to what the Titans
22:55
Speaker 1: have become and the expectations that's Robinson helped build ultimately
23:01
Speaker 1: or what Getty gets some fired yesterday? Take me through
23:05
Speaker 1: this team's chances this year, and it's kind of tough
23:08
Speaker 1: to get your head around because to me, I look
23:10
Speaker 1: at the Titans and they're a team that always knows
23:12
Speaker 1: how they want to play under Rabel. It gives them
23:15
Speaker 1: a huge advantage. They know what they are and they're
23:17
Speaker 1: playing to that. They're seven and five. I think they're
23:20
Speaker 1: going to the postseason. And the Titans have always been
23:22
Speaker 1: a team that sort of surprises people, and people think
23:25
Speaker 1: they overachieve and they keep achieving. If you follow me,
23:28
Speaker 1: is this a team that can do that? How you
23:30
Speaker 1: know how much can they do once they get there?
23:35
Speaker 1: This year? Can they surprise people? John? It's they're they're
23:38
Speaker 1: capable of winning in the postseason. I don't think they're
23:41
Speaker 1: capable of winning different ways in the postseason. The Titans
23:45
Speaker 1: path to victory regular season, postseason, what have you is?
23:49
Speaker 1: It's a very specific and narrow path to a win. Uh.
23:54
Speaker 1: They're They're not good offensively throwing the football. Their best
23:57
Speaker 1: offensive weapon is now in Philly. Alan Burks is in
24:01
Speaker 1: concussion protocol, and if it's not him, they really don't
24:04
Speaker 1: have a passing game. Their best receivers for the most part,
24:07
Speaker 1: are out of the backfield in the passing game, if
24:10
Speaker 1: not trailing Burke's who they were hoping would develop this
24:13
Speaker 1: time of year and again back in concussion protocol. Another
24:16
Speaker 1: good player for this team. Uh yeah, I think they
24:19
Speaker 1: can win a game. I don't think this team is
24:22
Speaker 1: built for the postseason. Though they can run the football.
24:24
Speaker 1: They play good defense by getting after the passer, and
24:28
Speaker 1: they normally don't make stupid mistakes, and they play solid
24:30
Speaker 1: special teams. But there's not a lot of margin for error.
24:34
Speaker 1: I would describe a handful of teams this year as
24:38
Speaker 1: being able to win games with a B minus performance.
24:41
Speaker 1: The Titans can't do that. The Titans can't have a
24:44
Speaker 1: B minus C plus day and expect to beat a
24:47
Speaker 1: playoff caliber team like the Giants, the Chiefs, the Bills,
24:52
Speaker 1: the Eagles, the Bengals. They've lost all those teams this
24:56
Speaker 1: year because they don't have a Plan B. If the
24:59
Speaker 1: d it shuts down Plan A. And we know who
25:02
Speaker 1: that is, Derrick Henry. There's no secret to it. And
25:05
Speaker 1: they pride themselves on their identity being in the trenches
25:08
Speaker 1: and recently they haven't had an offensive or defensive identity
25:12
Speaker 1: in that regard. They haven't been getting after the pass
25:14
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks, and they haven't been
25:16
Speaker 1: running the football with any effectiveness. Henry led the league
25:20
Speaker 1: in rushing this year through nine games, and since Week ten,
25:24
Speaker 1: he's twenty second in the league from Week ten to
25:27
Speaker 1: today in rushing yards. That's how bad it's been. It's
25:30
Speaker 1: been a really big drop off, and it starts up
25:32
Speaker 1: front of the offensive line, where they've been pushed around.
25:35
Speaker 1: Jack's Drivetime. Here's Monday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings on Jaguars
25:39
Speaker 1: dot com. And we wrapped the week with a preview
25:41
Speaker 1: of our conversation with Pride of the Jaguars running back
25:44
Speaker 1: Fred Taylor and his thoughts about the Tennessee Titans. All right,
25:48
Speaker 1: so how are you feeling about this game? Jags? Titans?
25:52
Speaker 1: They gotta bounce back. That was a bad performance last week.
25:55
Speaker 1: After I saw the Ravens performance, I said, okay, they
25:58
Speaker 1: got a shot to make a run and then blow
26:00
Speaker 1: out a week ago versus the lines, I'm like, no, wait,
26:02
Speaker 1: what is this all about? And then today I feel
26:05
Speaker 1: like I always feel about the Titans. JP. I absolutely
26:09
Speaker 1: despise that team, and I say that from the bottom
26:12
Speaker 1: of my heart. It's it's it's one of those games
26:15
Speaker 1: that will bring out the best of me as a
26:17
Speaker 1: player and maybe the worst of me as a fan.
26:20
Speaker 1: But I'm always optimistic and I don't care how bad
26:25
Speaker 1: of a Jaguars team that were served up on any
26:28
Speaker 1: given year, I'm gonna always hope and cross my fingers
26:32
Speaker 1: that somehow, because it's the NFL, that this might be
26:35
Speaker 1: the day that we get an upset. And that's what
26:38
Speaker 1: we're always searching for when we play the Titans as
26:40
Speaker 1: an upset because they're, you know, unfortunately the better team
26:44
Speaker 1: statistically and usually across the boards. Somehow they find a
26:48
Speaker 1: way to get those wins. So hopefully we can be
26:50
Speaker 1: a team that final way to get that win. The
26:51
Speaker 1: full conversation with Fred Taylor runs Saturday on the Official
26:55
Speaker 1: Jaguars Podcast Network, and more Sunday on Countdown to kick
