Previewing Week 9 vs. Raiders with Fred Taylor, Chris Myers, Pete Prisco & More · The Jacksonville Jaguars Official Podcast Network

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: We've made it to Week nine.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: JP Shabrick with you with the countdown to kickoff interviews
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: ahead of the Jaguars and the Las Vegas Raiders. We
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: start this week with Chris Myers of Fox Sports. He'll
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: have the play by play of the Jags Raiders matchup.
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: It is week nine in the National Football League. The
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: Jaguars visit Las Vegas to face the Raiders. Chris Myers
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: will have the call on the NFL on Fox or
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: should we say the Jaguars TV network.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Chris, how are you go ahead? It's good to talk
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: to you.
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: This will be the third this year that I'll be
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: calling a Jacks game. We had the win against the
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Panthers and the opener called the tough loss they had
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: at home to the to the Seahawks, and now calling
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: this one in Vegas. Also seen the Raiders a couple
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: of times. But I felt in the beginning that if
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence and you know, Liam Cohen, if that could click,
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: that everything else would be okay and the Jags would
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: be a playoff contender. And I'm sticking of that based
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: on the rest of the schedule, and even though the
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: dip after Kansas City after that Chiefs game. Maybe this
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: buy came at the right time for them and also
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: for the Raiders. I really think this is a kind
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: of a critical game for both of these teams in
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: different ways for where they are in the process of
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: their organizations.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Chris, let's let's start with the Jaguars.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Of course, the defense led the way early in the season,
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: a bunch of takeaways. They've gotten away from that. They
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: haven't had the lead earlier in games. That's part of
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: the reason why. But as you mentioned, the offense is,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you know, they were running the ball early in the season.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: They've gotten away from that last couple of weeks and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: they're kind of sputtering offensively. And the drop issue, I mean,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: that's the thing. When they have thrown it, they've dropped
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the football a lot. How do you snap out of
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: that as a coaching staff and offense a quarterback and
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: just get things back on track offensively?
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It's tough to doe, yeah, it is.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: But I think the penalties also, I think they lead
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: the league in penalties and everything nine a game. So
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: to me, those two things, the drops and the penalties,
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: those are things that I think you can control as
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: a team or a player, a staff that no matter
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: what the opposition or who you're playing or the conditions,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: I think those are things as a professional you can
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: handle and correct. And maybe that's in the bye week
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: and know there's some emphasis on certain things. There's also
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: some schemes I heard Liam Cohen talking about that they
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: may look at adjusting with some personnel, and you don't
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: want to go too crazy because you do have a
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: winning record. But to me, those are that's the encouraging
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: part of what's going on. The running thing mystifies me
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: a little bit. That's how Cohen really built the Buccaneers
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: up last year. In that one year there that made
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: Baker look so good. So I think the defense, the
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: takeaways when we did their game going into that Seattle game,
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's where they were. I think fourteen takeaways
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: led the league, right, and then the last two games,
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: you know, nothing there. It's kind of been that's been
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the opposite. So I can't explain that except for maybe
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: some health or guys being out a position or not
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: doing some things. But I think there's enough talent on
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: this team when you look at all the number one
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: draft picks that have been brought in that they should
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: be able to pull it together. So and they're getting
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: you know, the Raiders who are not as talent as
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: a team, who are desperate and angry and making some
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: adjustments on their side. I mean, this is a game
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that the Jacksonville has to win otherwise, you know, the
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: contender part. Then you start to say, well, maybe maybe
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: they're really not especially you know, given to the wake
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: up call in the last couple of games. That's that's
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: how I would view this.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: Chris Myers, NFL on Fox And now to the Raiders.
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: And on the offensive side, Ashton Gent he's running the football.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: The rookie running back, of course, has been hit behind
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: the line a lot, I think more than anybody in
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: the league. He has some, but he also can break
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: tackles and he's one of the best in that so
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: far in the NFL.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: Kind of a mixed bag in the run game.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: But Rock Bowers is back this week, tight end who
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: put ninety nine on the Jaguars last year in Vegas.
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: So how do you slow down Bowers?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: And because you're not going to stop him, he's going
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: to get some of his It feels.
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: Like, yeah, still, I don't think you'll let him get
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: deep and you have to tackle him right away when
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: he catches the football. And also Michael Mayer is back.
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: They really are a two tight end team because their
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: receivers don't wow you. And they've drafted some that haven't
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: quite developed yet in Dante Thornton, who is a speedy
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: guy from Tennessee who just you know, hasn't gotten all
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: the mechanics. Now Jack Besh a second rounder, kind of
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: a sure hand. Again, those guys haven't haven't figured. Jakobe
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: Myers has been hurt. But I bring them up because
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: I think that's why they've struggled. And Gino Smith thought
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: he would have brock Bauers and you take him away
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: in and Mayor went out with a concussion. I think
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: they're both going to be back. And yes, Browers is
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: going to get his catches, just don't let him destroy
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: you once he does. I'm a believer in genty. I
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: know they're going through a lot on their offensive line.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Colton Miller, their best alignement left tackle, got hurt out
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: for the year. That certainly affected things overall. They add
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Tyler Lockett this week, former Seahawk with you know, Pete
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: Carroll and and Gino Smith kind of a comfort level
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: that could do a lot, not just in the game,
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: but maybe for the receiver room. I think that that's
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: what they're hoping for anyway, how much he'll play and
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: fitting into the system. He came over from Tennessee that
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: brief time where he only had ten catches, so that
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: that could be a factor. But yeah, they haven't been
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: explosive offensively, and that's the thing, other than when Genti
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: breaks tackles and shakes loose and that's you know, Pete
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: Carroll wants to get him more and more involved and
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: that's up to Chip Kelly to find out ways to
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: do that. But their big story concerned is Gino Smith,
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: the veteran they brought in to stabilize things at the
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: quarterback position, and he's thrown them. He's tied for the
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: most interceptions in the league with Tonga Iiloa, and he's
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: just got to make better decisions whether people are open
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: or he's under pressure. But I think he will in
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: this game a little bit because of the Bowers being
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: out there present and a little bit healthier since he
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: was bothered by that knee injury.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: Another thought on the Raiders on defense, now, I mean,
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: obviously it's Matt Crosby. Max Crosby is the number one
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: priority for any offense.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: What else do the Raiders pose defensively? What do they
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: put out there?
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: Well, they have guys that and they're they're the chip
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: on the shoulder guys that Pete Carroll has gathered like
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: a Devin White, you know, as a former buccaneer, and
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: then he was in Houston briefly and he's having a
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: good year for them at the linebacker spot. Jamal Adams,
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Jeremy Chin. So it's kind of it's kind of a
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: ragtag group by the Eric Stokes is probably their best
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: cover guy. I think they can I think they can
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: be had in the secondary if if they you know,
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: if Trevor Harts has time and delivers the ball and
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: and the Jag receivers hang on to the hang on
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: to the football. But yes, Adam Butler will be coming
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: back up front. That will really help Crosby who's been
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: double teamed a lot. Butler hurt his back and he's
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: on that inside tackle spot usually near Crosby, although they
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: move Crosby around and he's a fascinating player to watch
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: in that Miles Garrett kind of kind of mold, So, yes,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you got to be aware of where he is and
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: then I think you can attack in a lot of
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: different areas of that defense. They are transitioning from a
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: Pete Carroll. You know Patrick Graham who was the decordinator
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: before he was there with the Raiders, and Pete's kind
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: of taking a little bit of his and trying to
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: bring his But I don't know if he has all
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the players. They are getting Lonnie Johnson back. They say
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: this strong safety, had a great training camp, got hurt
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: at a leg injury. That can help a little bit
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: in the secondary. But yes, Crosby, you start and you
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: finish with him, I think on that Raider defense.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Chris Pete Carroll is what seventy three boy?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: I know he's the oldest coach in the oldest who ever,
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: I think he's seventy four. He turns in four this
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: year because he's the oldest coach to have coached in
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: the NFL, and he keeps adding to it when he
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: celebrates another birthday. Yes, yeah, he's in that age range
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: where most people are sitting back and relaxing, but he
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: doesn't want to.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: No, he still has the energy and everything to go
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: That we'll see if they keep losing games, that can
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: they can wear on anybody. But what what do you
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: notice about Carol when you sit out with him?
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, the same, you know, it's funny. And I covered
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: a lot of his Seattle teams. You're sitting there the meetings,
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: and he has, you know, this, the same kind of process.
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: He's very positive, that's very authentic. But he's also realistic
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: about which guys are coming along and where they need
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: to make changes. Uh And I you know, before the
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: game he's out there throwing the football and and and
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: run it around. So I haven't seen anything change there
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: and I don't I don't think he's lost touch with
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: the league. I mean, his Seattle teams were contending. He
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: knew at least he told us that when he was
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: out for that year. He didn't want to make a
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: big public thing about it, but he wanted to coach again,
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: you know, and that's why he sat and waited it.
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: I thought it was an interesting move by the Raiders.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Uh And and for them, by the way, let me
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: point out a very emotional week jp they you know,
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: Al Davis's wife, who was still technically the owner of
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: the team, passed away, So missus Davis kind of the
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: you know, the key person of the organization all those
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: years when when Al on the team and then they're
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: their only son, Mark Davis, who's who's operating things with
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: you know, hiring Tom Brady and John Spytech from Tampa Bay.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: But they also lost George Atkinson, a great Raider player
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: who was involved in the organization. He passed away and
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: he was a very close friend of Mark Davis. So
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I already sense a little bit and I'll have more
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: when we get to spend more time with them. But
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the emotion there of the Raiders, that's something the players.
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: I think they might use that in a way, Pete
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Carroll in a good way, you know, to help heal
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: as those situations pop up. And Pete's kind of He's
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: already talked about that this week, and that's the kind
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: of guy he is. He tries to find something to
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: connect the emotion with his players. They so they play
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: that way. But I haven't seen any I haven't seen
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: any disconnect with him. If any maybe the Pete Carroll
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: hire of and I believe it was his call with
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: Chip Kelly. That's where there seems to be a little
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: bit of you know, are they on the same page.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Pete usually lets his offensive coordinator do his thing, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: it's Chip Kelly back in the NFL, is taking him
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: some time to kind of get up to speed to
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: where Pete and uh, you know the team would like
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: him to be. That's worth keeping an eye on.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: The oldest coach in the league with against one of
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: the youngest coaches and Liam cohen So yeah, an interesting Yeah.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: Liam has a lot of a lot of bravado. What
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: I like what he said. I think I was Trevor
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: Lards during the week, who you guys are on this
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: but talked about you know he Liam's accountable for things too,
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: and he'll admit I called the wrong play here, and
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: he doesn't just say it, he'll show us and try
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: to correct it. So I thought that was a positive
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: thing in the sense that the players, you know, they
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: know their coach while he's trying to get them all together,
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: that he can make mistakes too, and account comes back
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: to accountability that's tossed around in a lot of locker
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: rooms and by a lot of coaches and teams and players.
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: But but here it seems like Liam Cohen is is
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: trying to stress that to his Jags team in a
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: game that I think they really need to have to
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: kind of like, I look, the only I think it's
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: only three teams with a winning record the rest of
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: the way that the Jags play, and of course the
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: Colts are in there so and they've only had the
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: one division game right that they want against Houston. So
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: to me, if you're a Jags fan, you can hang
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: on to that, but you can't let this one slip
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: by you. If you know, if your team is healthy
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: and goes in there and plays good football.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Chris Meyer is a NFL on Fox. I'm sure we'll
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: do it again at some point this season. We've done
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: it three times already.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: I always look forward to it. Thanks you, take care
• 11:22
  Speaker 3: of joy of the game.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Mike Dempsey catches up with CBS Sports senior writer Pete Briscoe.
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: Well, I think you can focus on the little things,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: and by that I mean all those pre snap penalties,
• 11:32
  Speaker 5: getting to play in on time, not checking out of
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: a play when the play clock is going down so
• 11:36
  Speaker 5: you get a delay of game or have to call
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: time out. The little things. I think that's what you
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: can work on during your bye week. Getting in and
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: out of the huddle getting lined up. You know, it's
• 11:46
  Speaker 5: hard to believe that it's you know, this far into
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: the season and they're still having all those issues, but
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: they are, so I think that first and foremost, Mike,
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: that has to be something that they focus on coming
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: out of the buy and on into the rest of
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: the season.
• 11:57
  Speaker 6: I'm with you, though, Pete, like, if this is all
• 11:59
  Speaker 6: so directable, why are we two months in the season
• 12:02
  Speaker 6: is still kind of an epidemic for the Jacksonville Jaguars?
• 12:06
  Speaker 6: Is this just the identity of who they are? Do
• 12:08
  Speaker 6: you think they can make significant improvement.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: I'll be honest with you, Mike, I think it's an
• 12:12
  Speaker 5: epidemic in the league right now. There's so many pre
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: snap penalties and sloppy teams lining up, and you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: the league has made an emphasis on calling you know,
• 12:22
  Speaker 5: illegal shift closer this year, and I think that's shown
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: up so you know, they're bad at it. But it's
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: not just them. It's a lead league wide epidemic, and
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I think it's it's on all these coaches and all
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: these players to take accountability and make sure you're lined
• 12:35
  Speaker 5: up right, make sure you're not jumping off sides. Make
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: sure you're not, you know, moving when the ball is
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: being snapped if you're not supposed to be moving. So
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: a bunch of different things are at play. But it's
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: not just Jacksonville's across the league, all right.
• 12:47
  Speaker 6: Travis Hunter had a breakout game offensively against the Rams
• 12:50
  Speaker 6: prior to the buy pete. What are your expectations form
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: offensively and defensively now in the remaining ten games of
• 12:56
  Speaker 6: this year.
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: The way I think it should be in the way
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: I think it will be is he's the number one
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: wide receiver and he will be the number one cornerback.
• 13:04
  Speaker 5: And you know what, it's time to amp him up
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: in both. It's time for him to start playing more
• 13:09
  Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball. I think he's their
• 13:11
  Speaker 5: best corner. I think he's their best receiver, and now
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: you go use him that way. So I do think
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: he's going to get a lot more attention when it
• 13:18
  Speaker 5: comes to the offense, and I think on defense he's
• 13:20
  Speaker 5: got to be out on the field playing corner because
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: he's so good at it. So I think you're going
• 13:24
  Speaker 5: to start to see what they've anticipated him doing at
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: the beginning of the year, which is playing much more
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: on both sides of the ball.
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: All right, Pete.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: When you look at this Raiders roster, they've got a
• 13:35
  Speaker 6: few premium players, which one causes more problems for Jacksonville today.
• 13:40
  Speaker 6: Is it brock Bowers or is it Max Crosby.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Oh, it's definitely Max Crosby. And look, he plays the
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: game at a different speed than the rest of the
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: guys on the field. He's a maniac and he also
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: plays the game his own way. And by that I
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: mean he doesn't always play the defense. What you hear
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: out of there is he could do much what he
• 14:00
  Speaker 5: wants to and everybody has to adjust to it. So
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: he can be a game wrecker. He can, you know,
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: be one of those guys that get sack, fumble, turn
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: it over and turn those into points. So he has
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: to be the guy you focus on. They will, they
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: have to, but if you don't get him blocked, you're
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: not beating them. I think Bowers is a good players
• 14:18
  Speaker 5: coming off an injury, and I think they can do
• 14:21
  Speaker 5: some things to try and limit him. And plus Gino
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: Smith hasn't played that well, So I think if you
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: hadn't asked me like you just did, I would pick
• 14:28
  Speaker 5: Max Crosby.
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, and you look at Ashton Genty. He's a good player,
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: but he hasn't made this massive impact on this team
• 14:36
  Speaker 6: so far. He's only had two games where he's had
• 14:38
  Speaker 6: over four yards per carry this year. Jags are six
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: in the league in run defense. I think they can
• 14:43
  Speaker 6: do a decent job corraling him today.
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: And that's the idea today is go corral him and
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: put it on that passing game. And like I said earlier,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: Gino Smith has not played very well. There has to
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: be concerned about Gino Smith. So choke off the run,
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: make sure that Genty doesn't get going, and then and
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: you know, try and get after Gino Smith a little
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: bit and don't allow him to get in any rhythm.
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: We've seen that before. If Gino Smith gets going, it's
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: a problem. If he doesn't, you can turn them over
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: and get some takeaways. And I think that's ultimately what
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: the game plan.
• 15:13
  Speaker 6: Will be, all right, Pete quickly trade deadline a couple
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: of days away. If the Jags were to add, where
• 15:18
  Speaker 6: would you like to see them add the.
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: Most defensive tackle? I think that would be the number
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: one priority. Make some calls, you know, Zack Steeler down
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: in Miami, maybe Kalais Campbell, the old Jaguar who they
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: were in on last year. As these teams are selling,
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: I think you need to look at some defensive tackles.
• 15:34
  Speaker 6: The Steelers a really nice player as well, all right, Pete.
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: Coming out of the buy, do the Jags get the
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: win over the Raiders who are also coming out their buy.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: I do.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: I think they go out there and win that game,
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: get back into a little bit of a rhythm. And
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: by the way, I think this is a big week
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: for them and for Liam Koh coming out of a buy,
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: getting the mistakes cut down and moving on from their
• 15:56
  Speaker 5: young team coming off of buy. It's interesting to see
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: how they play, but I think Liam Kong will get
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: them playing well. I do think that they have a
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: good day offensively, and I.
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: Think they win the game.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: Now to the Jaguars offensive line and Senator Robert Hainsey
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: with Brian Sexton.
• 16:09
  Speaker 7: What does it take to come out of the bye
• 16:11
  Speaker 7: week playing well?
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: No secrets, just getting back to work.
• 16:16
  Speaker 9: Everyone's super focused on what they need to what they
• 16:18
  Speaker 9: need to improve on. Like I keep saying, improving is
• 16:21
  Speaker 9: individuals trying to raise the standard and raise the elevation
• 16:23
  Speaker 9: of the entire team.
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: There's been a lot of talk this week about getting
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: the running game going. From your perspective, what you've seen,
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: what needs to happen for it to perform at the
• 16:31
  Speaker 7: level it was earlier this year.
• 16:33
  Speaker 9: Well, we need to stay on track, we need to stop,
• 16:36
  Speaker 9: we need we can't when you get behind the chains,
• 16:38
  Speaker 9: it's hard to call runs. As much as we all
• 16:40
  Speaker 9: want to say, keep calling them, like as a play caller,
• 16:42
  Speaker 9: that's a hard spot to be. And so one staying
• 16:45
  Speaker 9: on track, staying second, third, and manageable, so we can
• 16:48
  Speaker 9: keep calling the runs and trusting it, and that makes
• 16:50
  Speaker 9: a huge difference. When you get down points and you
• 16:53
  Speaker 9: get behind the sticks, it's hard to call runs and
• 16:55
  Speaker 9: then it's hard to convert.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: So this is kind of like the domino effect of it.
• 16:59
  Speaker 9: So I think stay on track, making them, making the
• 17:01
  Speaker 9: runs go on first and second down as best we can,
• 17:04
  Speaker 9: uh minimize, minimizing any mistakes that bring us backwards.
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: What's it been like in your room the last two
• 17:09
  Speaker 7: weeks after giving up as many sacks as you guys have.
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: I know it's not part of what you thought this
• 17:15
  Speaker 7: offensive line was going to play like. So what has
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: your conversation been.
• 17:18
  Speaker 9: Like Well, the thing with protection is it takes all
• 17:26
  Speaker 9: of us to be on the same page, and when
• 17:28
  Speaker 9: it comes to thinking about stuff, we are and we
• 17:30
  Speaker 9: all want the same result. It has to be everyone
• 17:35
  Speaker 9: in prick, I've said before, improving their technique to help
• 17:37
  Speaker 9: each other out. So the conversation has been, hey, how
• 17:42
  Speaker 9: can I how can I do my job better to
• 17:44
  Speaker 9: help you? And how can I do my job better
• 17:46
  Speaker 9: to help you? And so on and so forth.
• 17:48
  Speaker 8: That's all it is.
• 17:48
  Speaker 9: It's not nothing crazy, uncharacteristic, I would say, the last
• 17:52
  Speaker 9: two weeks and certainly not the standard. So it's good
• 17:54
  Speaker 9: question is what are we going to do about it?
• 17:56
  Speaker 9: And we've been working at we've been talking about it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 9: This shit doesn't happen overnight. It's process, so trusting each other,
• 18:02
  Speaker 9: holding each other accountable to what we need each other
• 18:05
  Speaker 9: to do to raise that standard and get back to
• 18:08
  Speaker 9: kind of how we were playing.
• 18:10
  Speaker 7: Ten games are left. That's a lot of football coming
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: out of the bye week. When you look at it
• 18:14
  Speaker 7: that way, it sure seems like there is plenty of
• 18:17
  Speaker 7: time to go where you want to go.
• 18:19
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean a couple years ago have a week
• 18:21
  Speaker 9: five bye weeks, so like we got a whole season
• 18:23
  Speaker 9: ahead of us staying there.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: I mean, we've done some great stuff this year.
• 18:26
  Speaker 9: We've done a lot of things that we want to
• 18:27
  Speaker 9: improve upon, and that's what the rest of the seasons about,
• 18:30
  Speaker 9: is improving the things that we felt we were lacking
• 18:32
  Speaker 9: and increasing the productivity and the things that we were
• 18:35
  Speaker 9: already doing well. Like you said, there's a ton of
• 18:38
  Speaker 9: football left, ton of games left. Every goal, everything we wanted,
• 18:42
  Speaker 9: all those things that every team talks about at the
• 18:44
  Speaker 9: beginning of the season is out there for everyone. No
• 18:46
  Speaker 9: one's eliminated yet, so we have plenty of time to
• 18:49
  Speaker 9: go do what we need to do in one game
• 18:52
  Speaker 9: at the time, one play at the time with each other,
• 18:54
  Speaker 9: just continue to grow and improve as a group, start
• 18:56
  Speaker 9: playing some really good football.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Ryan Sexton also caught up with JAG's defensive lineman Trayvon Walker.
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: So, had you ever played with an injury before like this?
• 19:05
  Speaker 7: And how big of a challenge was it for me
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: to learn to play a little bit different.
• 19:09
  Speaker 10: I have played with an injury like this, but it
• 19:10
  Speaker 10: was in college. But then I would say it was
• 19:13
  Speaker 10: more so like coming in being a specialist. It wasn't
• 19:16
  Speaker 10: every down player. So I mean that's been the biggest
• 19:19
  Speaker 10: adjustment for me, making it every down because I want
• 19:22
  Speaker 10: to get back to playing first, second, and third down.
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: I'm not I just really don't want to just come
• 19:27
  Speaker 10: in on a certain down or whatever. I just I
• 19:29
  Speaker 10: want to get I wanted to get back to normally.
• 19:31
  Speaker 10: I have played in this situation before, but it's just
• 19:33
  Speaker 10: a little bit more to overcome for me right now.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: I heard that you wanted to go back in the
• 19:37
  Speaker 7: game in San Francisco and that you wanted to play
• 19:39
  Speaker 7: against Kansas City. Where does that mentality, I don't care
• 19:42
  Speaker 7: that it hurts come from.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:45
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's just something that I always live by.
• 19:47
  Speaker 10: I'm not dead, I'm not sixties under the ground. I
• 19:49
  Speaker 10: still have a breadth of my lungs as long as
• 19:52
  Speaker 10: I'm able to do so. I still have my two
• 19:54
  Speaker 10: legs and can run around. That's what I wanted to do.
• 19:56
  Speaker 10: And my mindset, that's obviously. I think that just comes
• 19:59
  Speaker 10: from the way I raised by my parents, my mom
• 20:01
  Speaker 10: and dad. Oh, that's mainly where it stems from my
• 20:04
  Speaker 10: house raising. My mom and dad.
• 20:06
  Speaker 7: Tell me about what it takes to snap out of,
• 20:10
  Speaker 7: you know, losing two games and the bye week, it's
• 20:12
  Speaker 7: been a while since you've won, how do you get
• 20:14
  Speaker 7: ready to play after a couple of weeks off?
• 20:17
  Speaker 10: I say, obviously we had the bye week. We just
• 20:19
  Speaker 10: got to build off of what we know that we
• 20:21
  Speaker 10: was doing wrong. It's all about small little details for
• 20:24
  Speaker 10: us on regardless, if we did some great things at
• 20:27
  Speaker 10: the first beginning of the season, now we did some
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: things that wasn't so good. So it's time for us
• 20:31
  Speaker 10: over the bye week to go back and look at
• 20:33
  Speaker 10: those things and evaluate ourselves and just coming out of
• 20:37
  Speaker 10: the bye week doing everything that we can't individually to help,
• 20:39
  Speaker 10: you know, do our part as individuals. No week links.
• 20:42
  Speaker 10: That's how I like to look at it. As long
• 20:43
  Speaker 10: as we have no week links and stay together as
• 20:45
  Speaker 10: a team and a unit offense, defense, special team, and
• 20:48
  Speaker 10: we'll go be fine. Just keep putting all the pieces
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: together and keep growing.
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: Since you bring that up, they're talking in Toronto during
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: the World Series about why the Blue Jays are able
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: to give the Dodgers such a great series. Said, it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: their connection. That their locker room is special because guys
• 21:04
  Speaker 7: are connected to one another. Do you feel that in
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: this locker.
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: Room, Oh, it's definitely one hundred percent.
• 21:08
  Speaker 10: It's a great connection to how I feel like, but
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: only it can only get better. Like you say, this
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: is we got a new coaching staff who got a
• 21:15
  Speaker 10: lot of new coordinators. But the thing is is we've
• 21:18
  Speaker 10: been building this ever since OTA's It's all about the
• 21:21
  Speaker 10: foundation that we started with the OTA is that main foundation.
• 21:24
  Speaker 10: We just want to continuously build off of that. Sometimes
• 21:26
  Speaker 10: you might skew off the track a little bit, but
• 21:28
  Speaker 10: that's one I like about this group too. We might ever,
• 21:31
  Speaker 10: things might not always go as planned, but that's nobody's
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: going to be perfect. It's just for us to always
• 21:35
  Speaker 10: rally back together at the end of the day when
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: things get hard, just continuously come together and not spread apart.
• 21:40
  Speaker 10: I feel like that's what we do best.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: And now my weekly conversation with Pride of the Jaguars
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: running back Fred Taylor. Time for out weekly conversation with
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Pride of the Jaguars running back Fred Taylor. And I'm
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: sure you're rested and relaxed and ready for the stretch
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: run after the bye week, Fred.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm certainly rested.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: JP.
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: I just hope the guys are rested, relaxed, healthy.
• 22:02
  Speaker 11: You know, I was thinking this morning, man, like if
• 22:05
  Speaker 11: they're not feeling pressure. Why should we, like as fans,
• 22:08
  Speaker 11: why should we feel pressured? You know, no one seems
• 22:12
  Speaker 11: to be panicking. I saw Travis etn interview a few
• 22:16
  Speaker 11: days ago. He talked about, you know, just everybody's in
• 22:21
  Speaker 11: a good space. He talked about trust. You know, he
• 22:24
  Speaker 11: talked about accountability that comes from the head coach and
• 22:28
  Speaker 11: the stems across the team. So yeah, I think they're
• 22:31
  Speaker 11: all ready to kind of write this ship and correct
• 22:35
  Speaker 11: this two game slide.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, four and three record heading out to Las Vegas
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: to face the Raiders team that's two and five, and
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: you know what they it's a pretty good matchup of
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: running backs. Ashton Gent's on the other side. Of course,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: he was second place in the Heisman voting to Travis
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Hunter last year.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: Of course, hunting out of Colorado.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Jenny out a boise, so he's he's making a mistackles happened.
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: He's having some production in the run game. Now.
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: The Raiders are what they are on offense, but Jenny
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: is a bright spot for them.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:08
  Speaker 11: I mean, I'm looking at he's around four yards of carry.
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: I mean, you'll take that every day of the week.
• 23:14
  Speaker 11: You know, they have their own little walls and troubles,
• 23:17
  Speaker 11: whatever's going on with them.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: But again they took him. It was his sixth overall
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: for a reason.
• 23:24
  Speaker 11: Guy who has tremendous jump cut reminds me a lot
• 23:27
  Speaker 11: of Jones Drew. You know, he's fast, he gets downhill,
• 23:30
  Speaker 11: he runs with power, he can make you miss. He
• 23:32
  Speaker 11: catches the ball. Well again, you said he's there, one
• 23:36
  Speaker 11: big bright spot. So defensively, it's gonna start with him.
• 23:40
  Speaker 11: They know they're going to try to get the ball.
• 23:41
  Speaker 11: Pete Carroll's an old school coach. He wants to run
• 23:44
  Speaker 11: the ball. He wants to hit you with play action.
• 23:47
  Speaker 11: Geno Smith a guy who's moved around. But Gino is
• 23:50
  Speaker 11: a good quarterback.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: He can get it. He can get it done.
• 23:53
  Speaker 11: You know, he kind of had this resurgence of a
• 23:57
  Speaker 11: career back in Seattle under Pete Carroll. So them together,
• 24:02
  Speaker 11: trust me, I'm sure they're always on the same page.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Show.
• 24:05
  Speaker 11: But it starts with gent and then on the flip side,
• 24:09
  Speaker 11: you know you got Max Crosby, who's the leader of
• 24:12
  Speaker 11: that defense.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: High energy.
• 24:14
  Speaker 11: The problem that the Jaguars have had the past two weeks,
• 24:17
  Speaker 11: they hadn't played bad teams.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: They played two really good teams with very very very good.
• 24:24
  Speaker 11: Defensive front, and that caused Jacksonville all types of trouble
• 24:28
  Speaker 11: up front.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: It exposed their offensive line.
• 24:30
  Speaker 11: So if you can't get a hat on Max Crosby
• 24:33
  Speaker 11: and the rest of the crew, then you're going to
• 24:36
  Speaker 11: struggle again, no.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Doubt about that. Yeah.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: One more note on the Raiders team, and Brock Bowers
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: could be back this week too. And we know what
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: that tight end did to the Jaguars last year. Eleven
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: catchers ninety nine yards in that game, which is you know,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: it doesn't feel like well, it's just like chipping away
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: and just they couldn't stop it all day long. So yeah,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: he'll be back in the mix as well. And let's
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: go to the Jaguars offense now, and what is the
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: number one priority you think coming out of the bye
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: week to get this offense moving again like it was early.
• 25:09
  Speaker 11: I got a lot of number one priority on abc D.
• 25:14
  Speaker 11: There are all number ones, But for me, it starts
• 25:18
  Speaker 11: with the guys up front. That's just good old football.
• 25:21
  Speaker 11: It starts with the guys in the trenches. The offensive line.
• 25:24
  Speaker 11: You know you're starting out the season, you know they're
• 25:27
  Speaker 11: protecting Trevor no sacks, they had two hundred yard rushing
• 25:31
  Speaker 11: performance followed up by you know, another almost two hundred
• 25:35
  Speaker 11: yard rushing performance with no sacks, barely in the QB
• 25:40
  Speaker 11: pressures the QB hits in those matchups, you know, they
• 25:45
  Speaker 11: go on and they win those games. You know, they
• 25:47
  Speaker 11: don't struggle at all. The games that they struggle up
• 25:51
  Speaker 11: front where you don't have one hundred yards rushing or
• 25:54
  Speaker 11: you know, you you've been exposing your quarterbacks been sacked
• 25:58
  Speaker 11: six times or hit ten times, right, those are the
• 26:02
  Speaker 11: games that you've lost. So for me, it will start
• 26:05
  Speaker 11: with the offensive line and then try to find a
• 26:07
  Speaker 11: way to get Travis Etn back on track. I think
• 26:10
  Speaker 11: the play calling is still sufficient. The play calling is
• 26:13
  Speaker 11: very good, you know, in my opinion, it's just that
• 26:16
  Speaker 11: in the past game, they're taking turns play back. You know,
• 26:21
  Speaker 11: if Trevor's going to show lack of accuracy on certain
• 26:24
  Speaker 11: plays where some overthrows or some balls in the dirt
• 26:27
  Speaker 11: and then the balls that are in the receiver's frame
• 26:31
  Speaker 11: they're dropping it, you know, So guys are just taking
• 26:36
  Speaker 11: turns making bad plays. So one A would be offensive line,
• 26:41
  Speaker 11: one B would be Travis Etn. One C would be
• 26:46
  Speaker 11: the quarterback, and one D would be the receivers, and D.
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: Doesn't stand for drop.
• 26:51
  Speaker 11: We want catches, So maybe I should have put them
• 26:54
  Speaker 11: at c's for catches and.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: D for the quarterback for a nation. Yeah, he needs
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: to go out and dominate.
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: I like that.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I like that A lot Jaguars leave the league and
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: drop passes, by the way, twenty one of them. And
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: if those were made, Lawrence's completion percentage would go up
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: to sixty seven percent for the season if the catches
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: are made.
• 27:18
  Speaker 11: Yeah, and if anybody's out there keeping track, that's three
• 27:21
  Speaker 11: drops per game, you know, easy math.
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Twenty one invided by seven games.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Trevor's not having a bad season. Man.
• 27:31
  Speaker 11: You know, I think Trevor along with coach Cohen, I
• 27:34
  Speaker 11: think they have some good synergies.
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: Uh you know, rarely they're not on the same page.
• 27:39
  Speaker 11: And we've seen somebody language in a few games where
• 27:43
  Speaker 11: Liam once more because he understands what this quarterback is
• 27:47
  Speaker 11: capable of, so pushing him is totally fine with me.
• 27:51
  Speaker 11: But again, the receivers need to catch the balls that
• 27:55
  Speaker 11: they're supposed to catch, because one, they're all capable and
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: they get paid to do it, so they need to do.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: It, Fred Taylor with US. Four of the next five
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: games spred are on the road.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: All four of.
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: Those games, though, are against losing teams right now, So
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: if you're looking at it from the ten thousand foot perspective, oh,
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: this is the area of the schedule where the Jaguars
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: need to make some hay here and get ahead and
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: stockpile some winning results and then get to the meat
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: of the divisional schedule in late November and December. Right,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: But we know you can't really look at it like
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: that as a team. You're going week to week, So
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: how much stress do you put on this week's game?
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: And the Raiders and you know a lot of people
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: around here, not in the building, but around the building
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: outside the building are saying it's a must win game.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Let's not a playoff game. What's your feeling.
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: I think they're must wins are only because you approach
• 28:54
  Speaker 11: you with a sense of urgency, Right, That's just part
• 28:58
  Speaker 11: of competing in sport because everything's gonna shake out the
• 29:03
  Speaker 11: way it shakes out at the end of the season.
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: So you don't look at it and say, well, it's
• 29:07
  Speaker 11: a must win for a playoff, you know, thought or
• 29:12
  Speaker 11: whatever but just because it's a it's the next game
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: that's on the schedule and you want to win it.
• 29:19
  Speaker 11: I believe you know, you're either getting better or you're
• 29:22
  Speaker 11: getting worse.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: That's the NFL, right.
• 29:24
  Speaker 11: We can look at these teams and say, well, they're
• 29:26
  Speaker 11: under five hundred, they absolutely are trash. Like the young
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: kids say they're trash, they're cooked. But these teams are
• 29:37
  Speaker 11: still practicing, they're still watching film, they still they're still
• 29:41
  Speaker 11: trying to get better. They still have had games where
• 29:45
  Speaker 11: they've only lost by a touchdown or two, and they
• 29:48
  Speaker 11: believe they should have won games if this didn't happen,
• 29:51
  Speaker 11: and vice versa. And that's what the Jaguars are thinking, like, hey,
• 29:54
  Speaker 11: if we had done this, maybe we can win these games.
• 29:56
  Speaker 11: You go back to the Cincinnati game, a team that
• 29:59
  Speaker 11: had played great since since the Jaguars game. So you're
• 30:03
  Speaker 11: either getting better or you're getting worse. And nothing's guaranteed.
• 30:08
  Speaker 11: Nothing guaranteed this league. So they just got to go
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: out there and take it game by game. Starting with
• 30:16
  Speaker 11: the Raiders here, you would expect them to come home
• 30:21
  Speaker 11: with a victory, but again, nothing's guaranteed in this league.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: Anything can happen.
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: If you go out there and you're kind of sitting
• 30:30
  Speaker 11: on your hands. Then you're gonna let them get in
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: the game, get some momentum behind their home crowd, and
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: before you know, you're down and you're frustrated, and now
• 30:38
  Speaker 11: you're dropping balls, getting sacks, allowing passes and then you lose.
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: And that's how it all happens.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Man, this is what NFL field football feels like.
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: You're four and three right around five hundred and all
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: the games are pretty close for the most part.
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: This is what most teams in the league are going through.
• 30:59
  Speaker 1: It's not pretty, gonna.
• 31:00
  Speaker 11: Be perfect, yeah, and and teams are gonna separate themselves
• 31:04
  Speaker 11: here as we enter the midway point of the season.
• 31:07
  Speaker 11: But again it's the NFL man, like, we can sit
• 31:10
  Speaker 11: back and say this and say that and try to
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: fool ourselves. There were it was three weeks ago or
• 31:17
  Speaker 11: four weeks ago, if you're including the bye week. You know,
• 31:20
  Speaker 11: we said this team was gonna be a team that
• 31:22
  Speaker 11: probably gonna run off, you know, several games without losing.
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: But then you hit a speed bumping, you spill your coffee,
• 31:30
  Speaker 11: and you lose two, right, you lose two cups of
• 31:33
  Speaker 11: coffee actually, and then now you gotta find a way
• 31:36
  Speaker 11: to get back on track. But it's the NFL. Man,
• 31:39
  Speaker 11: they thought the Raiders are gonna be good. You look
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: at Houston, a team who's reminds me of Jacksonville a lot.
• 31:45
  Speaker 11: Houston because they're two games away, but their offensive line
• 31:49
  Speaker 11: is where it starts because they have a really good
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: defensive mind, as do the Jaguars. But it's the offense
• 31:54
  Speaker 11: that's been sort of stowing them down, and it's been
• 31:57
  Speaker 11: because of the offense line. So Jacksonville has to make
• 32:00
  Speaker 11: sure they correct everything up front in order to get
• 32:04
  Speaker 11: back on the winning side of things.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Fred, I mean, you can't be spilling coffee because the
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: price of coffee beans is through the roof right now.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is expensive.
• 32:12
  Speaker 11: So well, you know, I'm not drinking coffee. I'm actually
• 32:16
  Speaker 11: drinking Pivot performance energy drink. And it comes and it
• 32:20
  Speaker 11: can and you still less. I mean, I mean that's
• 32:24
  Speaker 11: what I'm doing these days. But I love the whole
• 32:28
  Speaker 11: coffee process. Well are coffee beans coming from Columbia? Yeah,
• 32:35
  Speaker 11: I don't know. Well, good luck to the coffee drinkers,
• 32:38
  Speaker 11: good luck to the Jaguars.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: A gentleman who is far from cooked. Fred Taylor.
• 32:43
  Speaker 11: Yeah, no, No, I'm more like baked or seasoned. They
• 32:47
  Speaker 11: like to say you're old. No, I like to think
• 32:50
  Speaker 11: of it as seasoned. I'm seasoned. I'm not cooked at all.
• 32:54
  Speaker 11: We cooked somedays, JP, but not today.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: It's weak nine the Jaguars and the Raiders at four
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: oh five Eastern at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: Enjoy the game.
