- 1:01Speaker 1: to Drags Drive Time, presented by Jed home Loans. I'm
- 1:04Speaker 1: Brian Sexton from t I A. A. Bankfield, joined by
- 1:08Speaker 1: John Osier, and it is Wednesday, but it's really Thursday
- 1:11Speaker 1: in the week. It's some it's challenging to know what
- 1:16Speaker 1: data Doug and his team do. No, it's that way
- 1:19Speaker 1: every week for me, you just keep rolls. Yeah, and
- 1:24Speaker 1: again what a time. And Yo, listen to Josh Allen
- 1:28Speaker 1: on that. Uh. First of all, good for him the
- 1:31Speaker 1: last four, you know, the last six games during this
- 1:33Speaker 1: winning streak. I'm saying johsh is the reason for the
- 1:35Speaker 1: winning streak. But during the winning streak, four sacks, thirteen pressures,
- 1:38Speaker 1: UH to fourth. He's playing very close to think how
- 1:44Speaker 1: he wants to play. I don't know if he's at
- 1:45Speaker 1: his standard yet, but he's playing really well. And the
- 1:48Speaker 1: other thing that Jacksonville on top and just the the
- 1:52Speaker 1: one way this does compare to seventeen. It's really different
- 1:55Speaker 1: than seventeen. But the one thing that it is the
- 1:58Speaker 1: same that really resonates every time this team is good
- 2:03Speaker 1: is what a connection there is when this team is
- 2:06Speaker 1: good to the fan base. And and I know that's
- 2:09Speaker 1: what every that's true everywhere with every team that gets good.
- 2:12Speaker 1: I get that, but it's special when it happens here.
- 2:15Speaker 1: And you know, the tears that people right me when
- 2:20Speaker 1: they watch sounds of the game for example, um, and
- 2:24Speaker 1: the emotion that these people are feeling over this. It
- 2:27Speaker 1: it's a really cool time even I mean it's cool,
- 2:30Speaker 1: what's going on in the field. But that is uh
- 2:33Speaker 1: for you and I Brian, people have been here forever,
- 2:35Speaker 1: covered this thing forever. It's really cool to see. I
- 2:39Speaker 1: think a decade from now, when there's some hardware perhaps
- 2:43Speaker 1: in the trophy case, um and more wins, you'll look
- 2:47Speaker 1: back at this particular stretch of games, this this late
- 2:50Speaker 1: season run where players, big players, Josh Allen's obviously one
- 2:55Speaker 1: of them, Uh, Trevor Lawrence, Travis, e t N. They
- 2:58Speaker 1: started making plays, then show up at the waffle house
- 3:01Speaker 1: in Jacksonville Beach, and all of a sudden, you look
- 3:04Speaker 1: back and say, that was when the team in the
- 3:06Speaker 1: town connected. Yeah, no doubt, I mean it's it. I mean,
- 3:10Speaker 1: I don't like to diminish things that happened in the past.
- 3:12Speaker 1: I thought it connected in seventeen too. I think, I mean,
- 3:15Speaker 1: there's a connection there, but it didn't sustain itself. It
- 3:17Speaker 1: didn't sustain and uh, there was also no waffle house.
- 3:21Speaker 1: And that was, as Patrick Mahomes says, baller moved, Baller moved.
- 3:24Speaker 1: All right, let's get into big things here. On a
- 3:27Speaker 1: Wednesday morning in advance of Saturday's a f C Divisional
- 3:31Speaker 1: Round playoff at Arrowhead Stadium, let's talk about the turnover margin,
- 3:34Speaker 1: and this one is troubling. Over the last five games,
- 3:36Speaker 1: all wins for the Jaguars. By the way, they've turned
- 3:39Speaker 1: the bowl over twelve times twelve seven interceptions and five fumbles. Now,
- 3:44Speaker 1: you can take this last game out, but that's still
- 3:46Speaker 1: seven turnovers in four games. It's become a bit of
- 3:49Speaker 1: a problem for this team. And of course they put
- 3:51Speaker 1: themselves in holes and had to dig themselves out. The
- 3:55Speaker 1: Jaguars were plus three at Arrowhead Stadium in Week ten
- 3:59Speaker 1: and lost by ten points. You can't be minus three
- 4:02Speaker 1: and expect to have an opportunity to beat the Chiefs
- 4:05Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon. The head coach is well aware of
- 4:07Speaker 1: the problem. You can see the look in his eye.
- 4:10Speaker 1: We're fortunate, We're very fortunate. We're very fortunate the other
- 4:13Speaker 1: night that doesn't happen, you know, for five five takeaways
- 4:17Speaker 1: or five giveaways and and come back and win a
- 4:19Speaker 1: football game. That just does not happen. And that's something
- 4:22Speaker 1: that we we address our team a lot about and
- 4:26Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to over emphasize it, but
- 4:28Speaker 1: at the same time, they have to understand that the
- 4:32Speaker 1: seriousness of keeping the football and the seriousness of creating takeaways.
- 4:37Speaker 1: And you know, our defense has also been you know,
- 4:41Speaker 1: getting the ball a little bit here too, So that's
- 4:43Speaker 1: that's been a bonus for us. But you know, offensively, uh,
- 4:47Speaker 1: we just can't give it away like we've been doing
- 4:48Speaker 1: in order to win these games, especially now where we're
- 4:51Speaker 1: at the Chiefs or challenge because of Pat Mahomes, but
- 4:55Speaker 1: also because of Andy Reid. And it's the master and
- 4:58Speaker 1: the student this week. Look, if you look at all
- 5:01Speaker 1: the great coaches in this league right now, Andy Reid
- 5:04Speaker 1: is at the very top of the mountain in terms
- 5:06Speaker 1: of his creativity. Remember that spinning circle thing they did
- 5:09Speaker 1: out in Las Vegas a few weeks ago. They're creative,
- 5:12Speaker 1: They're willing to be creative, They're not scared to take chances,
- 5:16Speaker 1: and it puts a lot of pressure on the opponent
- 5:19Speaker 1: that Peterson knows what he's getting because he knows Andy Reid. Listen,
- 5:23Speaker 1: I owe a lot to coach read you know, on
- 5:26Speaker 1: my career, and not only is a player, but as
- 5:27Speaker 1: a coach, and and I still want to I want
- 5:29Speaker 1: to pick his brain and and and learn. He's been
- 5:31Speaker 1: doing this long time and he's been really really successful.
- 5:35Speaker 1: You know at it. So anything I can learn and
- 5:38Speaker 1: take away from him is a blessing for me. And finally,
- 5:41Speaker 1: it's not an exaggeration. Arrowhead Stadium, especially during the playoffs,
- 5:45Speaker 1: reaches an entirely new level. It is as loud and
- 5:49Speaker 1: as boisterous as you'll find in the National Football League.
- 5:52Speaker 1: And it's interesting because the Jaguars have had the wind
- 5:55Speaker 1: at their back the last couple of weeks with an
- 5:57Speaker 1: amazing crowd of their own here in Jacksonville. Now the
- 6:00Speaker 1: winds in their face. Now, they've got to be the
- 6:02Speaker 1: ones to distribute, to display poise in the noise. Nothing
- 6:10Speaker 1: prepares you for that. I can, I can turn the
- 6:12Speaker 1: noise here as loud as I want, and it's not
- 6:15Speaker 1: going to make an impact, um, you know, but it's
- 6:18Speaker 1: a loud for them, you know, it's allowed for their
- 6:21Speaker 1: defense and and um, you know, we both have to
- 6:24Speaker 1: play in it, obviously, but it's a it's a great
- 6:27Speaker 1: atmosphere and and these fans are um, they're they're passionate
- 6:31Speaker 1: about the Chiefs obviously, and uh, it's it's the loudest
- 6:35Speaker 1: for a reason. And we've just got to be able
- 6:37Speaker 1: to go in there and just it just it just
- 6:39Speaker 1: focuses you in you know, more specifically on your job.
- 6:43Speaker 1: You know, you gotta be able to hear in the
- 6:44Speaker 1: huddle things of that nature. And UM, you just got
- 6:48Speaker 1: to have a lot of the nonverbal communication, you know,
- 6:50Speaker 1: on point and those are big things here on Wednesday morning.
- 6:54Speaker 1: Let's let's start at the bottom there. I grew up
- 6:56Speaker 1: in Kansas City, and I can remember when Arrowhead Stadium
- 6:59Speaker 1: was a whom a mausoleum. It was empty at stadium
- 7:03Speaker 1: when full seats eight four thousand people. I was there
- 7:07Speaker 1: closing day against the New York Jets where there were
- 7:11Speaker 1: sixteen thousand people in the stands. Right, they have built
- 7:14Speaker 1: this thing over time into something incredibly special. UM. Winning
- 7:18Speaker 1: teams obviously do that, but the people in Kansas City
- 7:21Speaker 1: take a lot of pride in the fact that they're
- 7:24Speaker 1: gonna make it really difficult on the opposing team. It
- 7:26Speaker 1: is really rough, and that can be a huge factor.
- 7:30Speaker 1: They are also strangely not unbeatable there. UM and in
- 7:38Speaker 1: the last four years they've hosted four if the Champions
- 7:42Speaker 1: Games lost too, So that tells you that there is
- 7:46Speaker 1: a formula to go win this UM. I think the Jaguars,
- 7:51Speaker 1: I think Trevor's right when he said yesterday, they've communicated
- 7:55Speaker 1: pretty well in some tough environments this year. They've gone
- 7:59Speaker 1: on the road and a've played okay. I mean two
- 8:03Speaker 1: of their wins down the stretch were on the road
- 8:05Speaker 1: and night in environments like this. But it can be done,
- 8:10Speaker 1: and I think that will be interesting to sort of
- 8:12Speaker 1: watch Sunday. What's what sort of formula they try to
- 8:16Speaker 1: use to win out there? I mean, you have to
- 8:20Speaker 1: force Mahomes into not being perfect, which teams have done.
- 8:25Speaker 1: You know, you saw it last year year at the
- 8:26Speaker 1: championship an FC Championship game. Last year, John a good,
- 8:30Speaker 1: but I don't think a great Bengals defense right, not
- 8:33Speaker 1: stack like San FRANCISCOSCA. They frustrated the hell out of him.
- 8:37Speaker 1: He was running left and right and throwing balls over
- 8:40Speaker 1: receiver's heads. There was one famous third down opportunity where
- 8:43Speaker 1: he had Tyreek Kill running wide open. And we've seen
- 8:47Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence shoot over some receiver's heads a couple of
- 8:49Speaker 1: times this year, but you didn't see that from Patrick
- 8:52Speaker 1: Mahomes over this run. And yet he was confused or
- 8:55Speaker 1: angry or frustrated. He made mistakes epic mistakes in the
- 8:59Speaker 1: red zone late in the ball game that allowed Joe
- 9:01Speaker 1: Burrow the calm collected quarterback that day. Surprising as that
- 9:05Speaker 1: sounds to win. And so you make that happen in
- 9:09Speaker 1: some key situations. And then, uh, I keep going back,
- 9:13Speaker 1: and I know we're sort of off topic. Everyone going
- 9:16Speaker 1: back to when Trevor gets hot right now, he gets
- 9:23Speaker 1: blazing where he's as good as any quarterback in the league.
- 9:27Speaker 1: For stretches. You can't be better than he was for
- 9:31Speaker 1: the last two quarters in a series. Get into that
- 9:38Speaker 1: kind of a rhythm, shock him a little bit, and
- 9:41Speaker 1: get my homes off spot. There is a formula there
- 9:45Speaker 1: to win. Uh. And in Kansas City, not being unbeatable
- 9:52Speaker 1: at home sort of plays into that. I think if
- 9:54Speaker 1: they played ten times, Casey wins seven or eight. Don't
- 9:57Speaker 1: get me wrong, there the better team. They've earned this
- 10:00Speaker 1: number one seed, they've earned the goliath role. But it's
- 10:04Speaker 1: not Denver nineties six in terms of impossibility here. So
- 10:09Speaker 1: it's gonna be very interesting on Saturday. Here's the interesting part.
- 10:11Speaker 1: Of the reason I wanted to include the prevailing winds
- 10:13Speaker 1: in our storyline today is because not every quarterback in
- 10:17Speaker 1: this league can stand in the shotgun with that kind
- 10:21Speaker 1: of noise and be able to focus and decipher what
- 10:25Speaker 1: the defense is doing, and then communicated. We heard from
- 10:28Speaker 1: every player in the locker room yesterday. Communication, communication, communication,
- 10:31Speaker 1: It's key. Trevor has that ability to be able to
- 10:35Speaker 1: take that difficult situation and his heartbeat doesn't get too high,
- 10:40Speaker 1: he doesn't lose his focus. It's rare. If we learned
- 10:45Speaker 1: anything on Saturday. I made the point on Monday, and
- 10:49Speaker 1: I'm glad I said it. We learned more about Lawrence
- 10:53Speaker 1: on I'm sorry Saturday, then he would have had he
- 10:57Speaker 1: been perfect. When you when your heart beat doesn't raise
- 11:03Speaker 1: and you don't panic after four picks in that situation, knowing,
- 11:07Speaker 1: I guess what, Brian, those four picks were different than
- 11:11Speaker 1: one o'clock against the Texans in in October. The entire
- 11:15Speaker 1: football world's watching. He intrinsically knows Twitter's blowing up and
- 11:19Speaker 1: writing him off. He to come back from that and
- 11:24Speaker 1: play that kind of level, not just play okay, but
- 11:26Speaker 1: get increasingly better, get increasing you know, his mental game
- 11:31Speaker 1: is as sharp as as physical. I don't want to
- 11:33Speaker 1: say it's unprecedented what that is. There's a lot of
- 11:35Speaker 1: great quarterbacks with the mental game. But I can't imagine
- 11:38Speaker 1: anybody better in that situation. It's the third best come
- 11:41Speaker 1: from behind win and playoff history, John, the fifth best
- 11:44Speaker 1: come from behind win in NFL history. Yeah, it's and
- 11:48Speaker 1: uh again, I think I'm not sure any of those
- 11:51Speaker 1: comebacks were as awful In terms of the quarterback position.
- 11:55Speaker 1: I don't think. I think all those picks were his fault.
- 11:58Speaker 1: But as a quarterback, you really own any pick. So
- 12:02Speaker 1: to come off with four and then just click it
- 12:06Speaker 1: and be as good as there is in football, that's
- 12:10Speaker 1: the other world. I mean, that's next level, next level stuff.
- 12:13Speaker 1: All right, Let's touch on the other two big things quickly,
- 12:15Speaker 1: and that's the turnovers. And we've seen them in recent weeks,
- 12:17Speaker 1: and obviously there were five last week, so it's a
- 12:20Speaker 1: big point. But it had been trending in that direction John,
- 12:23Speaker 1: since the Cowboys game with the three turnovers and the
- 12:25Speaker 1: two interceptions that day. Um, it has become something that
- 12:30Speaker 1: Jaguars have been able to overcome by because of their defense.
- 12:34Speaker 1: But you can't go do that on Sunday in Kansas
- 12:35Speaker 1: City and expect them to be able to compensate. Now
- 12:37Speaker 1: you have to turn that and but I think that
- 12:40Speaker 1: does again speak a little more to the formula. I
- 12:44Speaker 1: don't think it's hard to say because they've been doing it,
- 12:48Speaker 1: but this doesn't feel like a turnover team. Um. I
- 12:52Speaker 1: guess because we watched them all year and they really weren't.
- 12:55Speaker 1: And then they've had some weird ones the last few weeks.
- 12:57Speaker 1: But yeah, if you turn that and then take advantage
- 13:03Speaker 1: of your opportunities, then you know, I think you make
- 13:08Speaker 1: this a game in the fourth quarter. So it to
- 13:14Speaker 1: me what the turnover along with the six wins during
- 13:18Speaker 1: the streak speaks to. Um. I think the defense deserves
- 13:25Speaker 1: maybe a little more credit than they've gotten for the
- 13:27Speaker 1: other night. And I say that a lot of people
- 13:29Speaker 1: have have given them credit. But the defense five turnovers
- 13:34Speaker 1: that could have been much much worse to come from
- 13:38Speaker 1: behind front and they managed it. Was a key point
- 13:41Speaker 1: in that game. And I know we're moving ahead now
- 13:44Speaker 1: twenty four and nothing. The defense got two stops to
- 13:49Speaker 1: hold it to twenty seven nothing. It didn't seem like
- 13:52Speaker 1: much at the time, but you wouldn't have won without
- 13:54Speaker 1: it right there. That could have turned, you know, in
- 13:58Speaker 1: that turned into thirty eight nothing out here in the game,
- 14:00Speaker 1: you know, So the defense really kept that thing at bay,
- 14:04Speaker 1: only gave up two long drives, kept that thing in range,
- 14:08Speaker 1: and then the second half of course was unbelievable. So
- 14:10Speaker 1: I think that turnover thing maybe speaks to how well
- 14:12Speaker 1: this defense is really playing. Final thought, and that's on
- 14:15Speaker 1: the relationship between Andy Reid and Doug Peterson, and they
- 14:18Speaker 1: are very close. I mean they go back, as Doug
- 14:21Speaker 1: said yesterday, to twenty eight years. And just a quick
- 14:25Speaker 1: story that I had been saving. Um. The day after
- 14:28Speaker 1: the Kansas City game in week ten was Judy Coughlin's funeral,
- 14:31Speaker 1: as many folks remember that she passed in November. UM,
- 14:35Speaker 1: and I looked over as I walked into the church
- 14:37Speaker 1: and there was Andy Reid sitting next to Doug Peterson right, UM.
- 14:42Speaker 1: And then afterwards to watch Andy and Doug and interact
- 14:44Speaker 1: with Tom and his family. And I mean there's a
- 14:48Speaker 1: closeness among some of these men in this league, not
- 14:50Speaker 1: all of them, but in some of these old school
- 14:52Speaker 1: guys in particular, Uh, Andy and Doug have a very
- 14:57Speaker 1: close relationship off the field. Not this weak. Necessarily, you
- 15:00Speaker 1: gotta be able to separate those things, um, but this
- 15:03Speaker 1: is student versus teacher and friend versus friends. Yeah, and
- 15:07Speaker 1: I you mentioned earlier, and you're right. I agree with you.
- 15:12Speaker 1: Master versus student. Um, that's pretty good. And you know so,
- 15:19Speaker 1: I think Doug taught him well. If he was sitting
- 15:21Speaker 1: in here, would would say yes. And he's a master.
- 15:24Speaker 1: Uh and and he's done it longer and had more
- 15:28Speaker 1: sustained success. But Doug calls plays um knowing when to
- 15:35Speaker 1: do certain things in games. Uh yeah. And I'm stopping
- 15:42Speaker 1: short of saying that he's better than any red because
- 15:44Speaker 1: that's not what it's about. But it's not a mismatch.
- 15:49Speaker 1: It's not a mismatch. He learned well. Yeah, and Doug
- 15:52Speaker 1: gave him a lot of credit yesterday leading up to it.
- 15:55Speaker 1: So there are big things. When we return, we're gonna
- 15:58Speaker 1: flip the script a little bit. We'll go with this
- 16:02Speaker 1: or that, and then we are expecting Maurice Jones Drew
- 16:07Speaker 1: to join us at the top of the hour. We're
- 16:08Speaker 1: back right up through this and welcome back, Jags. Drive time.
- 16:19Speaker 1: Brian and John with you from t i A a
- 16:21Speaker 1: bank Field brought to you, of course by Price dot Com.
- 16:24Speaker 1: Just had confirmation from Maurice Jones Drew that he is
- 16:26Speaker 1: going to join us at seven o'clock if they had
- 16:29Speaker 1: some power issues with those big storms out in California.
- 16:32Speaker 1: So we'll grab him by phone here in a couple
- 16:33Speaker 1: of moments. First though, time for this, for that, this, that,
- 16:39Speaker 1: this or that, and it's brought to you by Price
- 16:41Speaker 1: dot Com, the easiest way to save money with comparison
- 16:44Speaker 1: shopping cash back coupons all in one. It's free. Try
- 16:49Speaker 1: price dot com today. John, We'll begin with you. I
- 16:53Speaker 1: will wait for my graphic. We're gonna want to make
- 16:55Speaker 1: sure that I'm right. Um. Oh, now turn to take away.
- 17:01Speaker 1: But a lot of well, no I did. Um. What's
- 17:06Speaker 1: more important, Brian? For them to be turnover free or
- 17:09Speaker 1: for them to create big moments in big plays? Um?
- 17:15Speaker 1: I would say both, because I'm not sure they can
- 17:19Speaker 1: win this without this sort of a status two. Yeah,
- 17:24Speaker 1: in that range, they can't do what they did the
- 17:26Speaker 1: other night because the crowd is too much against him
- 17:28Speaker 1: and it was run the Buldish seven times. Yeah, I
- 17:33Speaker 1: would say the no turnovers is the more key, because
- 17:39Speaker 1: you don't want that crowd to start believing and sort
- 17:45Speaker 1: of start and start feasting on the situation. You can
- 17:49Speaker 1: get turnovers if the two turnovers lead to touchdowns. Then
- 17:55Speaker 1: they're more important. Uh, but I think it's critically important
- 18:00Speaker 1: that you not give away points, give away momentum. You
- 18:06Speaker 1: don't want the offense in the first quarter coming off
- 18:09Speaker 1: the field saying uh, here we go again. Well, you know,
- 18:13Speaker 1: a defeatist thing, because I don't know that they'll be
- 18:15Speaker 1: the energy to pull them back up on their own,
- 18:19Speaker 1: if that makes any sense. And maybe short change and
- 18:21Speaker 1: maybe they could, but they don't want to put themselves
- 18:24Speaker 1: in that situation because early turnovers are gonna lead to
- 18:27Speaker 1: the deficit that they absolutely don't want. For an energy standpoint,
- 18:30Speaker 1: which you know you're going in an energy JEF energy
- 18:33Speaker 1: deficit with that crowd overwhelming everything. I say, you gotta
- 18:36Speaker 1: have the two takeaways. You're going to need perhaps a
- 18:38Speaker 1: defensive score. Look, I mean the Chiefs can score almost
- 18:42Speaker 1: it will, seemingly at will. We saw them do it
- 18:44Speaker 1: last year in this game against Buffalo. When you thought,
- 18:46Speaker 1: now the Bills got this one's only thirteen seconds left. Nope,
- 18:50Speaker 1: Tyreek kill down the field. Here we go and it
- 18:52Speaker 1: went to overtime and Kansas City one. You're gonna need points,
- 18:55Speaker 1: You're gonna need big plays. The defense has to give them.
- 18:58Speaker 1: I'll say you're gonna make a mistake or two. It's
- 18:59Speaker 1: gonna be loud, it's gonna be snowling at some point
- 19:02Speaker 1: during the game. Now, the forecast has changed pretty radically
- 19:05Speaker 1: in the last twenty four hours, and so you're going
- 19:07Speaker 1: to need what that defense can give you to keep
- 19:10Speaker 1: the offense moving forward. I'll say those two takeaways are
- 19:14Speaker 1: more important than whether you turn the ball over or not.
- 19:16Speaker 1: The huge key to me, Brian that you keep looking
- 19:20Speaker 1: for ways that say, Okay, how can the Jaguars find
- 19:24Speaker 1: the formula to win this game? Um. I do believe
- 19:27Speaker 1: the fact that, as we talked about all year, I've
- 19:31Speaker 1: sort of joked that this defense in this team has
- 19:35Speaker 1: been confident and believed in itself even when they hadn't
- 19:39Speaker 1: earned it, you know. And I say that as a
- 19:41Speaker 1: compliment in that and that they believed even when they
- 19:44Speaker 1: were struggling that they were good. And it showed the
- 19:47Speaker 1: other night. Obviously you know seven nothing. Uh you have
- 19:51Speaker 1: to be really dim to believe you're coming back. But uh,
- 19:56Speaker 1: they believed it because they knew it and they were right.
- 19:58Speaker 1: So this defense, it doesn't seem to get bothered or
- 20:02Speaker 1: down on itself when it gives up plays, So you
- 20:06Speaker 1: can easily see a scenario where this thing's and the
- 20:10Speaker 1: fourth the defense gives up a huge play and then
- 20:14Speaker 1: comes back and forces a turnover because they believe they're
- 20:16Speaker 1: going to Well, that's what they've done. That's why they Also,
- 20:18Speaker 1: I think that in a shootout, having experience in that
- 20:23Speaker 1: situation I think will help this. The Jaylways need to
- 20:25Speaker 1: get it to a shootout. It's why they're five and
- 20:27Speaker 1: oh despite being minus five over the last five weeks,
- 20:31Speaker 1: because the defense believes they can make a play. All right,
- 20:34Speaker 1: here's my this or that, and it's grinded out play
- 20:37Speaker 1: possession football, keep my homes in the long colde on
- 20:40Speaker 1: the sidelines, or run with them, right, And I say
- 20:43Speaker 1: let's run with them, because I think that Doug Peterson's philosophy,
- 20:46Speaker 1: which is obviously based largely in his time with Andy
- 20:50Speaker 1: Reid more than half his life, all right. I just
- 20:53Speaker 1: I don't think going in there being conservatives going to
- 20:56Speaker 1: get it done. And I don't mean be stupid about it,
- 20:58Speaker 1: but it's not like this Draguars team is built John
- 21:00Speaker 1: to run the ball like it was at one point
- 21:03Speaker 1: in time in seventeen for net you know, going back
- 21:06Speaker 1: to two thousand seven when you had our guests at
- 21:09Speaker 1: the top of the hour, Maurice Jones, Drew and Fred Taylor.
- 21:12Speaker 1: Those guys controlled the game. You don't do that, at
- 21:16Speaker 1: least you haven't proven that you can do it consistently
- 21:19Speaker 1: weekend and week out. You talked about Trevor being the
- 21:22Speaker 1: hot hand and when he gets hot, really hot, and
- 21:25Speaker 1: you have Marvin Jones and Za Jones and it was funny.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Christian Kirk, Evan Ingram, Christian Kirk's A Jones and Marvin
- 21:32Speaker 1: Jones caught all four touchdown passes in a row consecutive drives.
- 21:37Speaker 1: Last week. Let's go, let's send the ball down the
- 21:39Speaker 1: field again. The weather conditions may change a little bit,
- 21:42Speaker 1: and I know you've got to be able to run
- 21:44Speaker 1: the ball some but my philosophy is this week, let
- 21:48Speaker 1: it all hang out, let's go. Yeah. And that thing
- 21:50Speaker 1: you mentioned is intriguing. Um, the fact that you've got
- 21:54Speaker 1: four eyes and four touchdown passes or touchdown passes on
- 21:58Speaker 1: consecutive possessions. It's not flukey in this offense, Brian, that's
- 22:02Speaker 1: been going on all year. That sort of symbolize what
- 22:05Speaker 1: they've done. I have another thing that gives them a
- 22:08Speaker 1: shot this weekend, you can't really focus, you know, as
- 22:10Speaker 1: sometimes it's good to have a one. But if you're
- 22:13Speaker 1: the Chiefs this week in your game playing, who are
- 22:16Speaker 1: you saying we have to take away? I really like
- 22:19Speaker 1: there's really nobody that they have to focus on. They
- 22:22Speaker 1: got to focus on four or five. And Trevor Lawrence,
- 22:25Speaker 1: for a young quarterback, is remarkably good at not caring
- 22:30Speaker 1: who he's throwing too. That's a it's literally hasn't been
- 22:33Speaker 1: discussed a whole lot. That gives him a chance. I
- 22:36Speaker 1: think the grind it out versus run with them will
- 22:40Speaker 1: be decided in the first few series. I think they
- 22:43Speaker 1: want to try to run ET in UH. If they
- 22:46Speaker 1: can figure out a way to minimize Chris Jones and
- 22:50Speaker 1: get ET in some room, then you might see them
- 22:53Speaker 1: gear a little a little more toward the grind um.
- 22:56Speaker 1: If they can't, I don't think they're gonna be stubborn
- 22:59Speaker 1: about it. I just go back to last year when
- 23:01Speaker 1: the Bills did everything you thought it took to win
- 23:04Speaker 1: in Kansas City, including grabbing the lead with thirteen seconds
- 23:07Speaker 1: left to play, and it wasn't enough. You can't have
- 23:10Speaker 1: enough points against this quarterback and that coach in that
- 23:13Speaker 1: stadium on Sunday. We'll see, all right, let's take a break.
- 23:16Speaker 1: When we returned, Maurice Jones Drew joined us from California
- 23:19Speaker 1: to talk a little bit about his comments from halftime
- 23:22Speaker 1: on Saturday night and what he thinks happens on Saturday
- 23:24Speaker 1: at the Arrowhead Stadium. You're watching Jags Drive Time, presented
- 23:28Speaker 1: by Jet Home Loans, and we're back after this. Jack
- 23:36Speaker 1: Straight Time is brought to you by Publics. Publics. We're shopping,
- 23:40Speaker 1: as you know, is a pleasure. One man stood alone
- 23:46Speaker 1: shouting at the top of the mountain. I believe in
- 23:48Speaker 1: the Jaguars. Who is that man? It's halftime. The charges
- 23:55Speaker 1: are of to seven, the most chargered thing to do.
- 24:00Speaker 1: This allowed the Jags back in the game in the
- 24:02Speaker 1: second half, and they went on the last second field goal.
- 24:06Speaker 1: All right, and I'm gone. Welcome back to Jags Drive Time.
- 24:14Speaker 1: Maurice Jones Drew joins us by phone right now, and
- 24:16Speaker 1: Maurice Trevor Lawrence is the most beloved man in Jacksonville.
- 24:19Speaker 1: In the second half of that football game, but at halftime,
- 24:22Speaker 1: there were Jaguars fans all over who were clinging to
- 24:26Speaker 1: your words was it blind faith? Was it Hey, I've
- 24:30Speaker 1: got nothing to lose, might as well swing at this one.
- 24:32Speaker 1: What prompted that on Saturday night? Or Brian first and foremost, uh,
- 24:38Speaker 1: you know, I first forem was hello, how are you?
- 24:40Speaker 1: It's been a long time? Good morning, um, good morning. Yeah,
- 24:43Speaker 1: it's it's a little early over here on the West coast.
- 24:45Speaker 1: But I'll tell you this. I've watched the Jags the
- 24:49Speaker 1: last you know, really close to last ten weeks, um,
- 24:54Speaker 1: and that's kind of how they played. They've they've they've
- 24:56Speaker 1: hung people, allowed them to hang around. They found a
- 24:59Speaker 1: way eight uh to make a player two in the
- 25:02Speaker 1: second half and get them back in the game. So
- 25:04Speaker 1: if you look at the Baltimore Ravens or the Las
- 25:06Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, uh, they're going down by seven teams. So
- 25:10Speaker 1: this wasn't a place where the Jags have been where
- 25:12Speaker 1: they've folded or done anything like that. They've just continued
- 25:16Speaker 1: to fight. And so knowing the Chargers, obviously being in
- 25:19Speaker 1: l A with the Rams and seeing some of the
- 25:21Speaker 1: Chargers games as well, they kind of let their foot
- 25:23Speaker 1: off the gas a little bit a lot when they
- 25:25Speaker 1: get big leaves. And so to me, it only seemed
- 25:29Speaker 1: right that after that score, right before half, the momentum
- 25:33Speaker 1: kind of shifted a little bit, and knowing that the
- 25:36Speaker 1: Chargers aren't one of the best running teams in the league,
- 25:39Speaker 1: that they were going to give the Jags an opportunity.
- 25:41Speaker 1: And sure enough, man, I mean, you just start to
- 25:43Speaker 1: see the momentum start to change. Their sidelines started to change.
- 25:46Speaker 1: BOTHA had some uncharacteristic penalties. Uh, and all these things
- 25:51Speaker 1: started to happen, and sure enough, bang boom, here we
- 25:54Speaker 1: are and the game gets close to kid misses. He
- 25:57Speaker 1: missed the extra point, right, he missed extra point or
- 26:00Speaker 1: a field goals up today, he missed a forty one
- 26:02Speaker 1: yard field goal. He missed a forty one yard field goal.
- 26:06Speaker 1: There it is, and I knew it was. It was.
- 26:08Speaker 1: I was like, and it started, and that kid hasn't
- 26:10Speaker 1: missed at all. And actually we had him at camp
- 26:12Speaker 1: with the Rams. I say week I worked for the
- 26:15Speaker 1: Rams now, and he was really good. He just couldn't
- 26:17Speaker 1: beat out Matt Gay. It just everything started to happen,
- 26:21Speaker 1: and I kind of had a feeling, but I just
- 26:23Speaker 1: knew after that first touchdown in the second the first
- 26:25Speaker 1: was the first SSS on in the first half. Right
- 26:27Speaker 1: before that, you know, the momentum shifted and it was
- 26:31Speaker 1: gonna get a little ugly there for the Chargers. Maurice
- 26:35Speaker 1: john O's you're here. Uh, we appreciate you doing this. Um.
- 26:40Speaker 1: I do stay up on Sundays and watched you when
- 26:42Speaker 1: you're on the Late night show. Only watched the weeks
- 26:45Speaker 1: you're on. I don't watch the other weeks, um. But
- 26:49Speaker 1: you've been on this train all along. Even when this
- 26:52Speaker 1: team was two and six, you were still talking possibly
- 26:55Speaker 1: about the Jags, and I know you know you do
- 26:57Speaker 1: because you love the Jags, but there was also something
- 27:00Speaker 1: you liked about this team. What has it been all along? Well?
- 27:03Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing for me is, you know,
- 27:05Speaker 1: during that coach search, I got an opportunity to talk
- 27:07Speaker 1: with a shot con and we we kind of talked
- 27:10Speaker 1: for about two like I dontlways say about an hour
- 27:12Speaker 1: and a half two hours and just breaking down different
- 27:14Speaker 1: candidates and and you know, he talked about Doug Peterson
- 27:18Speaker 1: and what he liked about him, and I actually was like,
- 27:20Speaker 1: you know, I really like Doug Pettis. I love that
- 27:23Speaker 1: he's a former player and he gives you he's a
- 27:25Speaker 1: problem solver, and I think that as a head coach
- 27:29Speaker 1: isn't valued enough. Right, A guy that can solve problems
- 27:32Speaker 1: for your quarterback and help your quarterback solved problems. Um.
- 27:35Speaker 1: And to me that was always the big, the big
- 27:38Speaker 1: question last year. There wasn't enough quarterback resources on that
- 27:43Speaker 1: team that helped Trevor as he got stuck into some situations. Right,
- 27:47Speaker 1: it caused a little bit of frustration. You know, guys
- 27:50Speaker 1: are used to winning. Whatever it might have been. Well,
- 27:52Speaker 1: you bring in Don Peterson, you have Mike McCoy is
- 27:55Speaker 1: a quarterback coach, you have oh C. You have a
- 27:58Speaker 1: ton of knowledge all around your quarterback to give him opportunities.
- 28:02Speaker 1: And you saw spurts. You saw times where the Jags
- 28:05Speaker 1: would be able to score points at will and play
- 28:07Speaker 1: really good defense, and it was just trying to get
- 28:09Speaker 1: it all together. And so I really feel it was
- 28:12Speaker 1: after that Chief's game where they played really well at offensively,
- 28:15Speaker 1: they kind of stumbled a little bit in the red zone, um,
- 28:18Speaker 1: and it was like, Okay, if they could get these things,
- 28:20Speaker 1: put this thing together, they'll be okay. And I feel
- 28:24Speaker 1: like right after that, by week you started to see
- 28:26Speaker 1: them play different. And so to me, on that show,
- 28:28Speaker 1: it was like, look, is I'm gonna always root for
- 28:31Speaker 1: the Jags, but this isn't just like me rooting for
- 28:34Speaker 1: the jack This is actually it's something that's going on.
- 28:35Speaker 1: They have a lot of talent on this roster. They
- 28:38Speaker 1: have young, a young nucleus that can that can play
- 28:41Speaker 1: really well, and they're gonna continue that. They continue to
- 28:44Speaker 1: fight and so to see all those things kind of
- 28:47Speaker 1: happened down the stretch was awesome, and you know, you
- 28:50Speaker 1: always wish for that, Like what I was there, We
- 28:52Speaker 1: always wish that we could play well in the second
- 28:53Speaker 1: half and do all those things where you guys are
- 28:55Speaker 1: actually doing it, which again is it big times So
- 28:59Speaker 1: the f it's tougher on Saturday, obviously, that crowd, that quarterback,
- 29:02Speaker 1: that coach. You're the offensive coordinator, right, I mean you
- 29:06Speaker 1: tell me, do you grind it out or do you
- 29:08Speaker 1: air it out? What's your philosophy going into Kansas City
- 29:11Speaker 1: this week with this team based on what you know
- 29:12Speaker 1: of it? Well, to me, it's it's you want to say, balanced,
- 29:16Speaker 1: and I think that's what allows you to come back
- 29:17Speaker 1: against the charges, the ability to still be able to
- 29:19Speaker 1: run the football. Um A lot of times we wanted
- 29:22Speaker 1: to throw it, throw it through it, like I get it.
- 29:24Speaker 1: If you're gonna play the Tennessee Titans, who have one
- 29:26Speaker 1: in the top if not the top, rush deepen, let's
- 29:28Speaker 1: not even waste our time running our head into a brickball. Yeah,
- 29:31Speaker 1: we'll run in five, six, maybe ten times, but let's
- 29:33Speaker 1: throw the football a little bit, because we know that's
- 29:35Speaker 1: where their their their weakness is the secondary. But against
- 29:38Speaker 1: most of some other teams or most other teams, you
- 29:40Speaker 1: can beat balanced. And I think again that's what allowed
- 29:43Speaker 1: the jag to come back and be uh, to come
- 29:46Speaker 1: back against Charges. They still able to run the football. Uh,
- 29:48Speaker 1: they were still able, and they forced that and forced
- 29:50Speaker 1: the Chargers to get down to a cover through which
- 29:52Speaker 1: allowed them to take a shot down the field. If
- 29:55Speaker 1: you're playing the chief, stay balanced forced them to have
- 29:58Speaker 1: to defend the whole field vertically and horizontally and then
- 30:01Speaker 1: and then see what happens. You have some advantages there
- 30:04Speaker 1: in the spot with CHRISTI coach, you're still able to
- 30:06Speaker 1: run the football, and that you have to block Chris Jones.
- 30:10Speaker 1: But other than that, I mean these guys who have
- 30:11Speaker 1: done a great job and shout out to the whole
- 30:13Speaker 1: line coach by guy Phil Rolser who I went to
- 30:16Speaker 1: college with, for getting Walker little ready and being able
- 30:19Speaker 1: to start in these these crucial situations and not give
- 30:22Speaker 1: up a pressure yesterday. Heard last week, Maurice, you and
- 30:25Speaker 1: Fred sort of made this franchise known for running backs. Uh,
- 30:30Speaker 1: it's sort of been the defining position of his team
- 30:32Speaker 1: until now. Uh. Tell me about Travis E. T And
- 30:36Speaker 1: what do you like about him? Uh? Does he have
- 30:39Speaker 1: a chance to sort of be on that rushmore? I
- 30:43Speaker 1: think so? And and and the reason the reason is
- 30:45Speaker 1: his one there they Doug Peterson is very creative in
- 30:48Speaker 1: his running game. Him and his his running group or
- 30:50Speaker 1: whatever goes together. They're very creative. Right, It's just not here,
- 30:54Speaker 1: We're just gonna run the ball here and run. Doubt
- 30:57Speaker 1: that they actually they're They're detailed in the run game
- 31:00Speaker 1: and say the same way they earn their passing game.
- 31:02Speaker 1: And so it opens up and his stresses the defense
- 31:04Speaker 1: differently than most. I was watching the Houston Texas game
- 31:07Speaker 1: where Travis was able to break a long one on
- 31:09Speaker 1: a It looked like a wonky run play, but it
- 31:12Speaker 1: created a hole right over the left side and he
- 31:14Speaker 1: was able to get through and split the safeties and
- 31:16Speaker 1: make make a big time play. So as long as
- 31:19Speaker 1: they stay creative in that running game and they continue
- 31:22Speaker 1: to give him opportunities, and he's gonna get better. I
- 31:24Speaker 1: know he had the bumbling a little fumblies like the
- 31:26Speaker 1: middle of the season early to move the season. But
- 31:29Speaker 1: as long as he continues to get better and and
- 31:31Speaker 1: and play his speed the way he's able to cut
- 31:34Speaker 1: um all the things, his contact balance, all the vision,
- 31:38Speaker 1: all the things that he has, it's gonna allow this
- 31:41Speaker 1: team to keep going. Now. Granted, if you don't need
- 31:43Speaker 1: another guy to go with him eventually, I know Hacy's
- 31:46Speaker 1: there and he's doing he's doing a really good job.
- 31:48Speaker 1: But you want you want to make sure that you
- 31:50Speaker 1: continue to keep him fresh so that he can run
- 31:52Speaker 1: the way he is now later, you know, a couple
- 31:55Speaker 1: of years down, a couple of years from now down
- 31:57Speaker 1: the stretch. So, uh, they're doing a great job and
- 31:59Speaker 1: just being explosive in the running game to say when
- 32:03Speaker 1: they are in the passing game, and he's doing a
- 32:04Speaker 1: great job of being patient allowing his line to go
- 32:07Speaker 1: to work for he. Since you mentioned rauscher Um, what
- 32:10Speaker 1: do you think of the T formation and that fourth
- 32:12Speaker 1: down play? Doug Peterson said on Monday morning, and we've
- 32:16Speaker 1: been talking to him all week about his creativity and
- 32:19Speaker 1: coming up with that. Well, well, first of all, Phil
- 32:22Speaker 1: knows that you're supposed to steal a little bit here
- 32:25Speaker 1: and there. I don't know if you call it still
- 32:26Speaker 1: and you call it copyright and prins and from Penn State.
- 32:29Speaker 1: They ran that against youth pall Uh in the Rose Bolt,
- 32:32Speaker 1: so I'm sure he'd been watching some tape. But that
- 32:36Speaker 1: t formation, I mean, it puts defense in a boy,
- 32:39Speaker 1: because think about it, We're we're ready to do a
- 32:41Speaker 1: quarterback sneak. We've got three guys in the back rooms.
- 32:43Speaker 1: You know you're gonna try to push. Then we sneak
- 32:45Speaker 1: our running back. We do an off tackle play. He's
- 32:48Speaker 1: able to bounce it outside and use their aggressives against it.
- 32:51Speaker 1: Which was a great call and a great job by
- 32:53Speaker 1: by Field, but also it was executed to a t
- 32:57Speaker 1: no pun intended by by the Jaguars. Offer is where
- 33:00Speaker 1: Et is able to get around in the corner, use
- 33:02Speaker 1: his speed and run on a guy that's not as
- 33:04Speaker 1: fast as him. Uh So, I mean I thought again,
- 33:07Speaker 1: I said, the creativity in the in the situations, I
- 33:10Speaker 1: don't know if when I was playing that we would
- 33:12Speaker 1: have ever done anything like that. We might we might have.
- 33:14Speaker 1: But you know, I think again, it's just being bold
- 33:19Speaker 1: enough to call a play like that in that situation.
- 33:21Speaker 1: All right. So here's the way I see it, based
- 33:23Speaker 1: on the last time the two teams met in Week ten,
- 33:26Speaker 1: and and that day the Jaguars were plush three, but
- 33:29Speaker 1: my homes threw four touchdown passes and you know, kind
- 33:32Speaker 1: of had his hand on their forehead, kind of like
- 33:33Speaker 1: the older brother of the younger brother, and it just
- 33:35Speaker 1: kind of kept him at arm's length. So you're not
- 33:38Speaker 1: gonna go run away from Kansas City and get out
- 33:40Speaker 1: in front of them and blow them out. In the playoffs,
- 33:42Speaker 1: it just doesn't happen. My question to you is, will
- 33:44Speaker 1: the Jaguars have an opportunity to win the game in
- 33:46Speaker 1: the fourth quarter? I think so. I. The only thing
- 33:50Speaker 1: is Trevor can't do what he did in the first
- 33:52Speaker 1: half of obviously this game. Right, If you do that
- 33:54Speaker 1: against the Chiefs, they're gonna score touchdowns and it's it's
- 33:58Speaker 1: gonna get ugly. Um. I think if if the Jaguars
- 34:02Speaker 1: played clean football, which no turnovers, uh, stay efficient, pump
- 34:06Speaker 1: the ball, on fourth down. If you get into a
- 34:08Speaker 1: critical situation, they'll get too aggressive. Um, I think they.
- 34:13Speaker 1: I think they have a chance in the fourth quarter
- 34:14Speaker 1: to be able to have a last that can drive
- 34:17Speaker 1: to win it. The thing is the Jags, people don't
- 34:19Speaker 1: give them enough credit for the talent they have them
- 34:21Speaker 1: as roster. They have a very talented roster. Right if
- 34:24Speaker 1: you look at it, they have three three playmakers on
- 34:27Speaker 1: the outside that can all beat you. Not everyone has
- 34:30Speaker 1: three corners that can stop you. You have a tight
- 34:33Speaker 1: end that is flourishing the way he was supposed to
- 34:36Speaker 1: coming out of college. Uh, you have a running game,
- 34:40Speaker 1: you have a quarterback. Defensively, your defense they're finding there
- 34:43Speaker 1: are now finding ways to harass the quarterback. Guys are
- 34:45Speaker 1: starting to show up. So they're doing all the things
- 34:49Speaker 1: that you need to to win a championship. Uh, and
- 34:52Speaker 1: to beat some of these top teams and to be
- 34:54Speaker 1: a top four team in the a f C. And
- 34:57Speaker 1: you also so to me, it's all about confidence. Do
- 35:00Speaker 1: you believe that you can go into Kansas City and win?
- 35:02Speaker 1: I think that last game that they had they played
- 35:05Speaker 1: game maybe the deciding factor because I want to say
- 35:08Speaker 1: in that game, they had some red zone opportunities that
- 35:10Speaker 1: they squandered, and if they don't squander those, the game
- 35:14Speaker 1: looks completely different. And correctly if I'm wrong, but I
- 35:17Speaker 1: think that that there can be that confidence builder of Okay,
- 35:20Speaker 1: all we have to do is continue to play the
- 35:23Speaker 1: pull away. We're playing excuse me, and once we get
- 35:28Speaker 1: in the red zone, we got to make sure we
- 35:30Speaker 1: we have a little bit different design, which I love
- 35:32Speaker 1: their design in the red zone. They find ways said
- 35:34Speaker 1: tactically all over the field. So if they could do that,
- 35:37Speaker 1: I think they'll be good. Maurice Jones true from California.
